*Lisa's POV*

Car windows rolled down.

Speakers on full blast.

Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Chaeyoung singing their hearts out.

Jisoo, Irene and Seulgi emptying their cans of beer in one gulp.

Jennie crying in the passenger seat. 

Me looking at her from my peripheral vision as I tried so hard to focus on the road.

Tinignan ko si Chanyeol through the rearview mirror at ngumuso ako sakanya and pointed at Jennie. He smirked as he shushed everyong in the car. They all looked at him weirdly. Tinuro ni Chanyeol si Jennie sakanilang lahat and they all looked soft for her. Jennie had her eyes closed as she tried so muffle the sobs coming out from pero she failed dahil lahat kami ay nakatingin na sakanya. 

Jisoo, who was sitting just behind Jennie reached for her shoulders and squeezed it.

"Alam mo sagot dyan?" tanong ni Seulgi at napatingin lahat sakanya. "Akin na yung aux! Ako naman!" sigaw niya at tinanggal naman ni Chanyeol yung cellphone niya na nakaconnect sa speakers ng kotse ko. 

"Sing with us Jennie! Magwawalwal tayo hanggang makalimutan mo siya!" sigaw ni Seulgi at tinaas niya yung hawak niyang beer. Sumunod naman yung iba at itinaas din yung hawak nilang beer. 

My friends all bobbed their heads to the tune of the song. Seulgi really knows how to turn the mood up dahil napansin ng lahat na Jennie stopped crying and she was mouthing the lyrics.

Pare ko meron akong problema
'Wag mong sabihing na naman
In-lab ako sa isang kolehiyala
Hindi ko maintindihan

Wag na nating idaan sa maboteng usapan
Lalo lang madaragdagan ang
Sakit ng ulo

"Cheers! Cheers!" sigaw nina Chanyeol.

Tumingin ulit ako sa mirror at nakita kong nagtatawanan silang lahat. Lahat kami nag-aanticipate sa pagdating ng  chorus, kahit ako napapalo sa manibela habang kinakanta yung lyrics.

Masakit mang isipin
Kailangang tanggapin
Kung kelan ka naging seryoso
Saka ka niya gagaguhin
O, Diyos ko

Ano ba naman ito

 

"Jennie!!!!" sigaw nilang lahat sabay turo kay Jennie, urging her to sing out loud. Jennie closed her eyes at inilabas niya yung ulo niya sa bintana ng kotse  sabay taas ng mga kamay niya.

"Di ba! Tang ina! nagmukha akong tanga!!!!" Jennie sang at the top of her lungs

"Pinaasa niya lang ako, lecheng pag-ibig to!" she shouted again then they all giggled.

"Lisa, ilang hours pa? Palubog na yung araw." tanong ni Baekhyun. "10-15 minutes nalang medyo traffic lang." sagot ko naman. Inabot ko yung balikat ko at minassage ko yung sarili ko. Hayop kasi tong si Chanyeol at Seulgi. Ang usapan kaming tatlo yung magpapalitan sa pagddrive pero uminom sila. Ako nalang yung natirang hindi umiinom kaya hindi na ko nakipagpalit for our safety na din.

Papunta ang barkada sa Zambales, specifically sa cabin ng pamilya ni Jisoo. Partida kahit school day tumuloy kami. Brokenhearted nanaman kasi si Jennie. I-emphasize natin yung "nanaman". Putangina kasi ng isang Juztin Reyes. 

Juztin Reyes, 21 years old. Basketball Captain ng Blue Hawks College. Ex-boyfriend ni Jennie. . Kupal.

I just don't get why Jennie kept on making amends with him every time they break up. This is not the first time that we had a roadtrip papunta sa iba't ibang probinsya ng tropa namin dahil gusto makalimot ni Jennie. On and off sila simula pa nung freshmen kami. Partida juniors na kami at sila pa din pero on and off nga lang.

Two days ago, nagsabi si Jennie na nakita niya nanaman na may kahalikang ibang babae si Juztin sa isang club.

Kaya naman kami nina Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Chaeyoung, Seulgi, Irene at Jisoo ay nahila papunta sa Zambales para sa "intervention" na mangyayari.

"Andun ba sina tita?" tanong ni Chaeyoung at umiling naman si Jisoo. "Next week pa balik nila. Solo natin yung cabin wag kayong mag-alala. Basta bawal sumuka ha!" sigaw niya habang mariin niyang tinititigan si Seulgi. "That was one time!" Seulgi countered.

"Hoy, malapit na tayo." Paalala ko sakanila. I tapped Jennie's thigh and she shifted from her seat. "Jen, lapit na." pag-ulit ko and she slowly opened her eyes at nag-unat.

"Las
