*LISA POV*

Lumipas ang dalawang araw simula nung nag flip ng coin si Jennie. Sa kabutihang palad ay tails ang lumabas, meaning hindi na namin kailangan gawin ni Chaeyoung yung Chapstick Challenge na yun. Hahahahaha sino kayang nakaimbento nun?

I mean, if you're a real life couple that would be an enjoyable thing to do pero if you're fake dating youtubers... that would be extremely awkward. And kissing the Park Chaeyoung multiple times? Baka mahimatay lang ako.

Nag-iisip pa din si Jennie ng maayos na idadahilan para sa change of topic ng next vlog namin ni Chaeyoung dahil nga sa technical glitch na nangyari. I feel bad for Jennie, she's just trying to help at alam kong nasstress na din siya sa pag-isip ng maayos na way para gawan ng paraan yung nangyari.

If it were only me, di ako magdadalawang isip na gawin yung challenge just for the sake na yun kasi talaga yung napili but then I have to consider Chaeyoung's opinion abou this since she's going to participate just as much as me. Kaya naman pagdating ni Chaeyoung ng dorm room, syempre on time pa din sa kanyang daily schedule.. I confronted her.

"What do you need?" bungad niya sakin. "Uy pansin mo bang stressed si Jennie?" tanong ko sakanya while fidgeting with my fingers. Nagbuntong hiniga siya.

"So I'm not the only one who noticed it." sambit niya at tumango naman ako. Umupo siya sa tabi ko dito sa sofa, pero may space pa din naman sa pagitan namin. "Is it because of that Chapstick thing?" tanong niya.  

"I guess so. Alam mo namang sobrang perfectionist nun, nastress siguro because things didn't go exactly as planned." pag-eexplain ko. Tumango siya and she looked like she was thinking about it too.

"Should we do it?" she casually asked. "Ano?" tanong ko habang nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko. Will she really do such thing with me? 

"Maglinis ka nga ng tenga mo. I said should we do it? Are you up for it? Okay lang naman sakin as long as we don't mess up things while recording. We should set up boundaries, if ever you want to do it." she stated and I nodded. 

"Okay lang naman sakin." I answered. "Magppractice ba tayo?" tanong ko sabay kamot ulo. Nagulat ako nung binatukan niya ko. "!" sigaw niya. "Bakit! Sabi mo we shouldn't mess things up! Practice makes  perfect you know. We still have like.. 3 days before filming kaya pwede naman tayo magpractice." I countered.

"Whatever, Manoban." she whispered. Tinawag niya ko by my last name, it's kinda cute. "Should I text Jennie about this?" Chaeyoung asked at umoo naman ako. She typed something on her phone tapos she looked at me. "Done, wala nang atrasan to." she said. "Did you brush your teeth?" tanong niya.

"The ? Of course I did!" sagot ko as I looked at her in disbelief. What does she take me for? Kahit mahal ang toothpaste ngayon isa yun sa mga must buy ko kapag sumesweldo kami sa gigs.  Bastos.

"Do you know how to kiss someone?" she asked. Kinabahan naman ako. Of course, simple lang naman yun! I've kissed a lot of people ano bang tingin niya sakin! Wait.. Exactly how many people have I kissed? Aside from that girl in kindergarten.. I'm ed. 

"Oo naman, ano bang tingin mo sakin!" sagot ko. "Okay. Go. Practice na tayo, take charge." Chaeyoung whispered. Parang masaydo namang mabilis.. Help.

She faced me, she's sitting crossed leg at the other side of the sofa and I was sitting that way too. I faced her then she closed her eyes.

I leaned in slowly. Until I felt her breath against mine. She's so close. She smelled like roses. 

Our lips touched and I reached for her cheeks. She's warm. I pulled away and I noticed that her eyes were still closed. Sa totoo lang it was more of a peck than a kiss. None of our lips moved, really. Just touched.

Pero doesn't mean I didn't feel some sort of weird building up in my stomach when it happened. 

"Okay na ba yun?" tanong ko sakanya. "Let's try again." sambit niya at inayos niya yung pagkakaupo niya. "You're too stiff." dagdag pa niya. I scoffed. "Wow ha, dami mo sinabi eh wala pang 3 seconds yun may evaluation ka na agad? Alam mo ikaw!" sigaw ko sakanya. Natawa naman siya.

"How can I assess kung halatang kinakabahan ka. Sabi mo you kissed other girls pero bat ganun?" sabi niya pa as she stuck ouut her tongue. Feeling cute ampota.

"Ano ba gusto mo laplap? Bastos ka talaga." sabi ko. She looked at me with that deadly eyes again. Tapos bigla nanaman siyang tumawa. Maybe by now she knows kung gano ako naaapektuhan nung aura niya na parang papatay. 

"Not necessarily with tongue. You know, Lips moving and all that." she explained. "Lips moving end ol dett" I imitated her. "Pano mo mahuhulaan flavor nung chapstick kung ipapatong mo lang bibig mo sakin, Lisa?" tanong niya.

"Oo na." sabi ko and I leaned in again. "Eto na, close your eyes." I added.

I kissed her pero this time, I did what she told me. I imagined na I needed to know kung anong flavor nung chapstick na gamit niya. I know she's using one. I can taste it already. I  her bottom lip, still trying to figure out the flavor. Than I felt her hand rest on my shoulders as we continued kissing without using our tongue. 

She pulled away, at napansin ko na she was catching her breath. "You taste like cherry and vanilla." sambit ko. Ngumiti siya.

"One point for you. I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow." Chaeyoung said as she got up and went straight to her room. Naiwan ako sa sofa as I touched my lips, parang tanga lang. I had a kissing session with Chaeyoung at hindi pa din ako makapaniwala sa nangyari.

Kinaumagahan naabutan ko si Chaeyoung sa sala. "I made pancakes. Pwede mong baunin yung natira." sabi niya at tumango ako. "Lamats." I replied. "Almost forgot. May remaining slots pa daw sa study group. Kindly pass it on to Chanyeol, thanks." sabi naman niya.

"Noted." simple kong sagot. "Ingat ka today." casual kong sabi as I waved at her. She looked at me weirdly nanaman at inirapan ako bago siya naglakad palabas ng dorm.

Nilantakan ko naman yung pancakes na gawa niya dahil sa gutom ko, grabe kasi ako sa pagtipid ngayon eh. Though kakasahod ko lang galing dun sa gig, madami kasi kami naghahatian kaya onti lang din talaga naiuuwi ko. Nagulat naman ako dahil may nakaipit na puting sobre sa baso na katabi nung platong pinaglalagyan nung pancakes. May nakasulat na Lisa.

Binuksan ko naman at nagulat ako dahil cash yung laman. Chineck ko yung likod nung sobre tapos may nakalagay ulit. "Your share." ang laki naman nito. Thank you, thank you!!! 

Pagkatapos kong ilagay sa drawer ko yung pera, nag-ayos na ko para makapunta  na sa first class ko, malapit na din kasi ako malate.

I arrived 3 minutes late sa classroom dahil na
