*Lisa's POV*

"You didn't have to do this, Jennie." sabi ko sakanya as I caressed her cheek. "But I wanted to. And I wanted to do this for you all. Yung place lang naman yung akin Li, everything was arranged by Seul. Enjoy nalang natin okay?" she explained and I nodded.

Nandito kami ngayon sa 5 star hotel owned by Jennie's family. Celebration daw ng barkada dahil lahat kami nakapasa ng bar. Ad since lumabas ang results ay wala pa kaming proper celebration dahil narin nasa ibang bansa si Bam at Wheein. Turns out umuwi si Bam the other day at si Wheein ay magsstay for a few weeks.

Lowkey lang ang celebration na ito at kami-kami lang ng colleagues namin and yung pamilya ng tropa ang andito. There's a live band and may pa-buffet pa itong si Seul na nalalaman. Overall, sobrang classy ng datingan ng venue. I have my girlfriend to thank for that.

My friends and I were casually chatting in front of the bar nang naramdaman kong may kumakalabit sakin, it was Seul.

"Lis, Dito na daw si Bam hehe kaso may pasurprise siyang kasama nakakaloka." sabi niya. "Asan yung bulbol na yun? May gf na siya? Himala ah." Tanong ko. 

Dumiretso kami ni Seul sa table kung saan andun yung mga kaibigan namin, sina Irene, Wheein, Byul, Jisoo at Jennie ay nagkkwentuhan. Maya maya eh natigilan ang kwentuhan nang dumating sa table si Bambam. Napatayo ako and I hugged him. Sumunod naman ang iba naming tropa. Matagal din kasing nawala si Bam dahil nga nagsoul searching din ito sa ibang bansa, though di niya sinabi kung saan. Dahil din siguro sa anxiety na nagiintay sa results ng bar. We all experienced that. Actually nung nagiintay kami ng results ay naaliw ako sa Muay Thai, dun ko binuhos lahat ng stress ko. Sina Irene at Seul, nagvacation naman din for ilang days sa Hawaii at si Byul ay nagkulong sa bahay.

So eto na, nakumpleto na din ang barkadaa after five freaking years. Iba talaga ang adult life. Kumbaga nung college kami, mahirap man ang subjects ay magkakasama kami lahat sa struggles namin. Nung nag graduate kami eh sobrang bihira na namin magkasama, bukad sa mga nag law school samin. Every week may inom, pero pag weekdays na eh seryosohan na sa pag-aaral. Nakakamiss naman talaga.

As I fixed myself dahil medyo nagusot yung hair ko kakagulo ni Bam, he stepped aside, I assume he's about to let us meet his girlfriend.

Nagulat nalang ang buong table nang sumulpot si Rosé.

"Guys, hi. So I kinda brought Rosé with me. She's my date for tonight." he said casually sabay kamot ulo. No , Bam. She's really here. Kahit si Jennie ay nagulat nang makita niya si Rosé.

After nun, Rosé smiled at everyone na nakaupo sa table namin. She even smiled at me. 

The dinner went on kahit medyo may weird na atmosphere enveloping our table. 

"Guys, kami na ni Wheein." sambit ni Byul all of a sudden. "Wow! Sabi sayo eh." sabi ko naman sakanya. "Pero nasa ibang bansa si Wheein? How did you woo her?" tanong ni Jisoo.

"Ang landi nito, pinuntahan ako sa bahay." sabi ni Wheein with her hands covering her face, kinikilig ang gaga. Cute nila. "Pinuntahan sa ibang bansa? Kala ko nagkulong ka lang sainyo?" taong ni Seul.

"Di ko na natiis mga par, hehehehe." sabi naman ni Byul ulit at nagtawanan ang lahat. "Wag na ko gisahin niyo, itong si Bam ang may dalang date oh. Old news naman na kami ni Wheein, kami naman na talaga dati pa, just like Irene and Seul." dagdag pa niya. Then everyone on the table turned to Bambam. Napakamot nanaman siya ng ulo while smirking. May kuto siguro to.

"Di pa naman kami guys, she just got back from U.S. We met there and nagkasundo naman kami." sabi ni Bam casually, as if he didn't know what happened between Rosé and I. It's not like he owes me that pero I guess we just can't stop people from making their own choices. 

"Bigla ka nalang nawala, Rosé. What happened five years ago?" Seulgi seriously asked. It was a question na no one from the circle knew. Or so I thought.

"I- uh." Nauutal na sagot niya. Bambam held her shoulder and whispered "You don't have to answer that." pero lahat naman kami nakarinig nung exchange nila.

"Uy anong hindi, Lisa has a right, you know. Even Jennie would agree. Diba, Jen?" Seulgi pushed and the atmosphere became unbearable. "That was a long time ago guys. It's not like I care anymore." sambit ko at natigilan naman silang lahat and I felt Jen's hand under the table reach out for my own at nginitian ko siya.

"Anyway, Jennie kamusta na si tito?" tanong naman ni Wheein, as if breaking the ice. "Balita ko he's expanding the business, bilib talaga ko sa dad mo when it comes to that. Nag-aral din kasi ako ng business abroad and balak ko magtayo ng sarili kong business, once makapagsettle kami ni Byul." dagdag pa niya. 

“Well he’s experimenting on different kinds of business now I think? I thought magfofocus lang siya on hotels and lodging pero these days naaliw siya sa cooking. Kaya din siguro gusto niya magtayo ng restaurants.” sagot naman ni Jennie.

“It’s rea
