Uwian na pero etong si Jennie nagpasabi na magpapaiwan pa raw sa university dahil nga dun sa lecheng PE. Nag-aabang si Seulgi sa field at nakita niya si Jennie.

“Practice kayo bruh?” Tanong niya kay Jennie nung nagwater break ito.

“Oo eh. Nga pala, si Irene lang sasabay ha.” Sabi ni Jennie. “Oh, Seulgi kalmahan mo lang ah. Baka manghalik ka na naman ng wala ako.”

“Opo. Feeling ko mas ate ka pa dun sa ate niya. Asan na ba yun?” Tanong ni Seulgi. First time nila na hindi sasabay si Jennie. Katulad nga ng sabi ni Joy, kung kaya i-manage, why not. It’s going to be worth a shot.

Di pa nakakasagot si Jennie, biglang sumulpot si Irene.

“Sizt, di ako sasabay. Di ko naman alam na di pala marurunong sumayaw ‘tong mga kagroup ko.” Inform ni Jennie sa kaibigan. Sigurado naman siya na kaya na ni Irene yung sarili niya. Nagpramis naman si Seulgi so palagay na yung loob niya.

“Ah, ganun ba. Ingat mamaya pag-uwi ah.” Bumeso si Irene kay Jennie.

“Sana ol.” Seulgi threw shade. “Let’s go?” Tanong niya sa ihahatid niya.

Sabay silang naglakad. Di naman pala awkward. Kinuha niya yung bag ni Irene. “Baka nabibigatan ka eh.”

“Hala, pinayagan na ba kita manligaw?” Tanong ni Irene. Sabi na nga ba niya, yung ‘yet’ last time would spark something in Seulgi. First, asking her out in front of their friends. And now, this.

“Can’t I do this for my friends?” Nag-smirk si Seulgi. They arrived at the car and she opened the passenger seat for Irene. “And this too?”

Narealize ni Irene, ginawa rin ni Seulgi ito for Jennie. So maybe she’s just overthinking. “Fine.” Pumasok na siya sa loob ng kotse at binigay ni Seulgi yung bag niya.

Na-on na ni Seulgi yung car engine at nababa niya na yung handbrake nang napansin niyang di pa nakaseat belt si Irene. Nilagay niya sa neutral yung gear at tinanggal yung sarili niyang seatbelt. “Sabi ko naman sayo, bawal ang di nakaseatbelt dito sa kotse ko.” Lumapit siya at hinila yung seatbelt from Irene’s side. Their faces are inches from each other like last time at the library. Napatigil si Seulgi and stared at Irene’s face for a second. Shet, ang ganda talaga. But then naalala niya yung sinabi ni Jennie kanina so she pulled the seatbelt and locked it in at bumalik na siya sa seat niya.

Kinuha ni Irene yung phone niya, pretending to check her timeline. Ang awkward pala talaga. Pinagpawisan na naman yung singit at kili-kili niya sa sobrang kaba. Naalala niya kung pano siya hinalikan ni Seulgi last time.

May mga ten minutes na sila into the drive when Seulgi tried breaking the silence. “Ano palang sabi ng ate mo? Na-gg ka ba?”

“Hindi naman. She just warned me that I should do things differently this time.” Sabi ni Irene at binaba niya yung phone sa lap niya. Napatingin siya sa malayo from the window side.

“Matagal kayo nung kuya ni Joy?” Usiserang tanong ni Seulgi. Baka lumusot.

“Halos two years din.” Matipid na sagot ni Irene.

“Bat kayo nagbreak?” Walang filter na tanong ni Seulgi pero humabol siya. “You don’t have to tell me if you’re not comfortable telling me.”

“Okay lang. It wasn’t just meant to be. Maybe we rushed into things kaya in the end we were always hurting each other.” Nag-smile si Irene.

Seulgi knew that smile was with a hint of hurt. “Ah gets.”

“Naka-blind date ko lang yun. Nireto ng parents ko. From there we hit it off.” Aside from Jennie and Ate Taeyeon, ngayon lang siya nag-open about sa breakup niya with Bogum after six months. She’s moved on naman na. Pero syempre first relationship niya yun. So, it definitely marked her.

“You will never believe how many blind dates to guys I’ve been set up to until I came out to my family that I like girls.” Seulgi shares her experience as well. Buti nga si Wendy, walang pake yung parents niya when it comes to her love life. Sobrang chill kasi ng parents ni Wendy compared sa parents niya.

“Oh? How was it?” Napatanong tuloy si Irene. Sa kanya naman, supportive naman yung ate niya, pero closeted pa rin from her parents.
