*LISA'S POV* 

Pagkauwi naman galing sa lamay, pinauna ko na si Jisoo at Seulgi sa condo namin. Tapos dumiretso ako sa unit ni Malee para kausapin siya. 
 

"I was getting kinda nervous." sabi ni Malee pagkapasok na pagkapasok namin sa kwarto niya. "You weren't talking the whole ride home." Sinaraa ko yung pinto at tinabihan ko siya sa kama.
 

"I want Jennie." reply ko sakanya. "Maybe not now given the situation, but definitely some time later." 
 

“Mahal na mahal ko siya, Malee. Ang sakit  makita na malungkot siya. Gusto ko siyang alagaan.” Sabi ko and I felt a teardrop escape my eyes. 

Nilapitan ako ni Malee. “I can’t understand you, Lisa.” Sabi niya as she held me. 

“Hindi mo maiintindihan, Malee. Mahal ko talaga siya.” Sabi ko ulit pero she giggled kaya naman tinignan ko siya weirdly.  “I can’t understand you literally, Lis. You’re speaking in Tagalog. 

“Ah.” Sabi ko sabay tawa. Kakainis nasira yung moment ko. 

“I still love her. Too much I think.” pag-amin ko and her face softened. "Looks like it. So you want to break the engagement officially, that's it?" tanong niya with a nervous tone.

"What? No! I promised you. I never break my promises." I replied truthfully. "God, don't do that! Here I am trying to win back my first love and now you're trying to make me fall for you again!"

"Ha? Anong first love? Who are you talking about?"  I questioned her at she shifted uncomfortably dahil sa naging tanong ko. "It's a secret. I'll tell you when I get to talk to him."

"Now I'm curious." I smirked at hinampas niya naman ako. Then she got serious again. "What's your plan with Jennie?" tanong ni Malee. 

"She's grieving. I'll let her be. S-she kinda lashed out earlier. God, if you only saw her eyes. She was broken, she thought we're really engaged and when we kissed--"

"You kissed?!" Malee shrieked. "That explains why."

"Why what?" tanong ko. "I want someone to love me as much as you do, you know." Reply ni Malee.

I smiled. "Don't worry. I love you, too!" dagdag ko pa para ma-lighten up naman yung mood. "Silly." reply niya as she went toward her closet para kumuha ng damit pampalit. 

"You gonna sleepover or what?" tanong niya sakin and napaisip pa muna ako.

"Sure."

Fast forward: 2 months after the funeral.

*JENNIE'S POV*

"Miss Kim, pinaiwan po  ulit ng mommy niyo." sabi nung kasambahay namin as she handed me another rectangular shaped box. I opened it at nakita kong isang necklace nanaman ang bigay niya. 

She's been doing this for about two months already. I've been receiving gifts from her almost every other day. Mamahaling mga damit, tickets to whatever expensive people go to. Hindi na ako magugulat kung bukas eh bibigyan niya ako ng ticket papuntang ibang bansa. That would be better, though. Ayoko na dito, it's suffocating.

Since it's the weekend, napagpasyahan kong lumabas nalang as usual. Sinasadya kong umalis nalang sa bahay to  avoid her. I know she's grieving too pero I find it insulting na instead of us being there for each other, she kept shoving all these expensive things to my face na para bang mababago pa nun yung lahat. 

I spent the whole day in a coffee shop and ordered three cups of coffee (yes, too much) and desserts during my stay there. 

Binalak kong umuwi ng mga 8pm na para tapos na yung dinner time, she must be in her room na.
