“Hoy, Seulgi Hermosa!” tawag ni Jennie sa kay Seulgi na naka-squat sa may gilid ng quadrangle nila. It was weird seeing the star dancer ng dance troupe ng university nila… mag-isa lang siyang nakaupo na para bang may hinahanap siya.

Seulgi looked up to see who was calling her and it was no other than Jennie Thalia Luna. “Oy, baket?”

“Nasa’n ang bulok mong tropa?” tinaasan niya ng kilay si Seulgi na nakasimangot pa rin. “Kung si Lisa hinahanap mo may pasok pa siya.” She continued whatever that she was doing before Jennie interrupted her. Hinahanap niya ang nawawalang bracelet ni Irene (she posted it on her Twitter na nawawala ang bracelet niya kahapon sa may gilid ng quad nila kung saan siya madalas tumatambay).

Jennie blushed. Hindi naman siguro siya ganoon ka-obvious sa crush niya ‘di ba? “T—tanga ka!” binatukan niya si Seulgi na muntik nang matumba. “Hindi ko crush ang tukmol na ‘yon, please lang!” she rolled her eyes sabay cross ng arms niya. “Gago talaga,” mura niya pa sa babaeng tumayo na sabay kamot ng ulo niya. “Haynako. May kailangan ka ba? Hinahanap ko pa bracelet ni Irene.

I’m sorry but did I ask? Was what Jennie wanted to say pero she decided to keep it for herself. Mukhang kanina pa si Seulgi na naghahanap at nakita niya ang pawisan niyang noo at leeg. Sino ba namang siraulong magsusuot ng hoodie sa gitnang hapon?!

“May itatanong sana ako sa’yo and no need for you to look for her bracelet. Nahanap ni Bogum bracelet niya kagabi.”

Nakita niyang sumimangot ulit si Seulgi. Alam kasi ng lahat na crush ni Seulgi si Irene Imperial. Si Irene lang naman ang Miss University nila and she’s also the current council president ng college nila. Seulgi’s very public about her admiration sa beauty queen pero dinideadma lang siya ni Irene. And one of her famous suitor ay si Bogum Soriano na team captain ng university basketball team.

“Upo muna tayo sa bench taena sana nagpost si Irene na nahanap na niya.” hinubad niya ang hoodie revealing a white cotton tee tucked in her signature denim pants and black Chuck Taylor’s. Sinundan naman siya ni Jennie na umupo sa tabi niya. Binuksan niya muna ang phone niya to check on the time and may 45 minutes pa siya before her last class.

Seulgi eyed her, waiting for her to start the conversation.

Hindi alam ni Jennie kung pa’no niya simulan ang tanong let alone face Seulgi who is obviously expecting something from her. “Hoy, Jenniecakes…” she poked Jennie’s bare shoulder (she was wearing a white halter shirt) “Ano na?”

Jennie sighed. “Inom ka muna ng tubig, mukhang pagod ka e.” nilabas niya ang hydroflask niya sabay abot kay Seulgi who awkwardly accepted the object. “Okay ka lang….?” she weirdly asked the smaller woman who rolled her eyes.  It was weird seeing them both together. Iba kasi sila ng clique when it comes to friends and hobbies. Jennie’s more on the maarte side of the spectrum while Seulgi’s the complete opposite. Pero friends naman sila since may mga pagkakataong kinakailangan nilang mag join ng forces together due to their departamental activities and them belonging in popular groups.

“Ano bang mga gusto ni Lisa sa isang babae?” she blurted out, blushing furiously as she faced the quadrangle ahead. Matagal na niyang pinag-isipang kausapin si
