Karina's POV 

 

 

"what the hell are you doing here huh?" ate jessica went straight to kai when he saw him talking to me. 

 

 

Pumunta siya rito para mag sorry sa nangyari last night. He was so drunk and he didn't expect his friend to do that dahil lasing na lasing din ito. 

 

 

"ate..i'm really sorry.." nagulat ako ng bigla na lang lumuhod si kai sa harap ni ate. "i'm sorry if..hindi ko naalagaan si karina last night..sobrang nagsisisi ako na dinala ko siya don and hindi ko man lang siya nabantayan.." 

 

 

is he crying..?

 

 

"babe..tumayo ka diyan.." hinila ko siya patayo hindi pa rin siya makatingin kay ate ng diretso. 

 

 

 

"you're sorry? alam mo ba kung anong posibleng mangyari sa kapatid ko dahil sa kapabayaan mo?" she's not shouting but ate jessica was really mad at him. "if winter didn't see her..something bad might have happened to her!"  

 

 

 

nakayuko lang si kai. 

 

 

 

"ate..stop it." awat ko kay ate jessica. it's not kai's fault that he got drunk and he can't control his friends. "we'll talk about it, ate. please?" she looked at me worriedly, i know ate was still worried about last night and i can't blame her she's always been protective pagdating sa akin. 

 

 

 

"I'll make sure to send your friend to jail, kai." banta ni ate bago siya umalis. 

 

 

 

 

Nang makaalis na si ate ay humarap ako kay Kai.  "you can't blame ate bakit siya galit sayo." hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. "ikaw, are you mad at me babe?" 

 

 

 

i honestly don't know. wala naman akong dapat ikagalit sa kanya he didn't do anything wrong. 

 

 

 

"i'm not..i..i'm still traumatized about what happened last night. " napayuko ako. "before that I've been trying to tell you na gusto ko ng umuwi na sobrang uncomfortable ko but you didn't listen to me.." 

 

 

 

"babe, i'm sorry. medyo may tama na ako..i don't know what i was doing and i can't even remember things clearly last night." humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa kamay ko. "i'm really sorry, karina." 

 

 

 

"it was your friend who tried doing something. it's not your fault, ate will take care of him." his expression changed all of a sudden. 

 

 

 

"about that..he's still in the hospital right now dahil halos mabasag ni winter ang mukha niya." nagulat ako, i suddenly remember the way winter punched his face repeatedly sobrang galit na galit siya sa kanya. 

 

 

 

"he might..file a complaint against her too." 

 

 

 

"what? winter did that to save me from him. ang kapal naman ng mukha ng kaibigan mo to do that, lalo na deserved niya naman yon." inis kong sabi kay kai. 

 

 

 

"i know babe. i know winter was right, i know jeno deserved it for attempting to.." napayuko siya. "it's just that.." napabuntong hininga siya. 

 

 

 

"jeno is an athlete." he looked at me as if he's begging for something. "walang team ang kukuha sa kanya kapag may record siyang di maganda." 

 

 

 

what is he trying to say? 

 

 

 

"pwede bang..iatras mo yung case against him?" 

 

 

"what?" 

 

 

"babe i know this might sound so insane but jeno helped me a lot..he's a good person he was just really drunk last night kaya niya siguro nagawa yon.." 

 

 

"i can't believe, i'm hearing this from you." why would he say this to me? "drunk or not he still tried to me, kai. girlfriend mo ako." 

 

 

he should be so mad at him right now. 

 

 

but he's asking me na iatras yung case against him. 

 

 

"babe, please? i swear i'm not gonna let him near you. i'm gonna stop being his friend too. i just don't want to ruin his dream he helped me a lot before please?" 

 

 

 

This isn't the Kai that I know. 

 

 

Dati lang masanggi lang ako ng kung sino galit na galit na siya. 

 

 

Now, gusto niyang iatras ko yung case sa kaibigan niya just because he helped him a lot? 

 

 

 

"baby please just do this one favor for me.." bigla niya na lang akong niyakap. 

 

 

"i..don't know. i'll try to tell ate." 

 

 

"thank you, babe. but don't tell her na sinabi ko dahil she might get mad lalo.." i just nodded at him. 

 

 

 

"i love you, babe." bigla niya kong hinalikan sa pisngi. "you're really the best." 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter's POV 

 

 

supposedly saturday pa nila pupuntahan si karina but they insisted na ngayon na lang because of what happened to her last night. sabay sabay kaming pupunta ngayon hinihintay lang namin sila yeji dahil nag extend daw yung prof nila ng half hour. 

 

 

"mabuti na lang talaga napadaan ka doon no?" sabi sa akin ni Aeri. "if not..baka ano na talaga nangyari kay karina." 

 

 

"ang bobo din kasi talaga ni kai sa totoo lang." inis na sabi ni ryeong. "di man lang binantayan si karina or yung kaibigan niya." 

 

 

"i almost killed that guy last night." 

 

 

"he deserved it, badi. kulang pa nga  yon buti nga mukha lang napuruhan mo sa kanya." depensa ni ryujin sa akin. 

 

 

"ate jessica was really eager na ipakulong yon." napasandal ako sa may bench. 

 

 

"well dapat lang. tangina nung kupal na yon eh." napailing si aeri. 

 

 

 

"hiii. sorry ngayon lang kami." tumayo na kami ng dumating yung apat. yeji, ning, lia at yuna. "it's fine." sagot naman ni ryujin. 

 

 

 

"so tara na? karina's waiting i told her na pupunta tayo lahat ngayon." sabi ni yeji. nag nod lang ako sa kanila. 

 

 

 

dalawang kotse na lang ginamit namin, ryujin's car and ning's car. bale kasama ko si ryujin, yeji at chaeryeong. then sa car ni ning si aeri, lia at yuna. hindi ko alam pero binigay ni ning ung susi kay aeri baka siya magdadrive. 

 

 

tahimik lang ako habang nasa byahe. i was thinking about karina i wonder kung kumusta na siya ngayon. ate taeyeon just told me na sasamahan niya si ate jessica sa police station ngayon. 

 

 

 

 

 

Sinalubong kami ni Karina pagdating namin sa kanila. Agad siyang niyakap ng mga kaibigan niya at tinanong siya kung kumusta na siya sobrang halata ang pag aaalala nila sa kanya. 

 

 

Tumingin naman siya sa akin. "winter.." lumapit siya sa akin bigla naman akong tiningnan ng mga kaibigan ko habang nakangiti. "i forgot to ask you last night kung nasaktan ka ba" 

 

 

 

napatingin ako sa knuckles ko. "no, not really. don't worry. kumusta ka?" 

 

 

 

"medyo okay naman na, thank you ulit." she smiled at me pakiramdam ko matutunaw ako sa mga ngiti niya. tumingin naman siya sa mga kaibigan ko. "you must be winter's friends." 

 

 

 

"yes sila nga marecakes. so ito si ryujin, girlfriend ni yeji." nanlaki bigla ang mata ni karina, even ryujin and yeji got surprised sa pagpapakilala ni yuna. "de charot lang soon to be daw." 

 

 

 

"siraulo ka talaga, yuna." saway ni lia sa kanya. "actually di lang sila friend ni winter they are also your friends so siya naman si aeri, girlfriend ni ning ayaw lang umamin." 

 

 

 

"excuse me??" nagkatinginan pa si ning at aeri ng magkasabay sila. natawa naman si karina bigla. 

 

 

 

"and this is chaeryeong." lumapit si yuna at lia sa kanya. "kami lang yung di marunong lumandi sa tropa charot." 

 

 

 

"well true, study first." pagmamayabang ni chaeryeong. 

 

 

 

tawang tawa naman si karina sa kanila. she invited us sa loob she prepared some snacks for us. 

 

 

 

 

I was just sitting quietly habang nag uusap sila karina was asking my friends so basically para silang nag iintroduce yourself again. 

 

 

"yeah actually if it's not because of winter because you met her first then she introduced us sa inyo." sabi ni ryujin, napatingin sa akin si karina i just smiled at her. 

 

 

"what's your plan pala karina? kailan kayo magfifile ng formal complaint doon sa gagong yon?" tanong ni ning bigla. 

 

 

"uhm.." napayuko si karina. 

 

 

"as far as i know nagpunta si ate jessica and taeyeon sa police station ngayon." napatingin silang lahat sa akin. 

 

 

 

"well serve him right." napailing si yuna. 

 

 

"uh excuse lang girls." paalam ni karina. 

 

 

there's something weird about her today. 

 

 

Dumiretso siya sa kitchen. "wait lang." nagpaalam din ako sa kanila at sinundan si karina. 

 

 

"hey. is everything okay?" nagulat naman siya ng makita niya ako. 

 

 

"y-yeah of course." inilapag niya yung baso ng tubig na hawak niya sa sink at tiningnan ako. 

 

 

"you don't look fine, karina." napayuko naman siya. "anong problema?" lumapit ako sa kanya. 

 

 

"uh kai actually asked me na iatras yung case against his friend.." 

 

 

 

"what? baliw ba siya?" 

 

 

 

gago din pala tong lalaking to. hindi ako papayag, karina almost got by that tapos iaatras yung kaso? no w
