Winter

Sobrang weird makisama sa tatlong babae ‘to pero in a good way naman. Nagkaroon kasi kami ng rules na pwede maghiraman ng damit or gamit. Wala naman ako problema dun, okay naman sa akin so far. Mababait sila pero iniiwasan kong gamitin mga gamit ni Kapre kasi unang-una malalaki sa akin pangalawa ang weird lang gamitin yung damit niya eh hindi naman kami gaano nag-uusap unlike Aeri at Ning.

Actually, nakalagay lang lahat ng damit ko sa closet at hindi nila alam minsan na ginagamit nila damit ko pero gaya ng sinabi ko, okay lang yun. Ang OA lang nung kapre minsan, kasi nung nalaman na akin yung cute na tshirt na gagamitin sana niya for practice ay agad niyang hinubad. Hindi naman na ako nagsalita na kasi baka mag-away nanaman kami.

Kasulukuyan kaming nagpapractice ngayon ng choreo para sa debut namin. 12:30pm kami nagstart pero mag-3 pa lang nang dinismiss kami nung choreo team at staffs. Wala yung managers namin kasi practice pa lang naman. Tsaka may inaasikaso silang schedule kaya kami-kami muna ngayong araw ang magkakasama.

“Okay girls, that’s it for today. May need lang kami baguhin sa choreo bago namin ituloy ng ituloy ituro sa inyo and we will also contact the necessary staffs for approval. You can enjoy the rest of your day for now” sabi nung choreographer namin

Alright! Uwian na!

“May sasabay ba sa akin umuwi ng dorm?” tanong ko sa kanila

“Pupunta kaming mall Minjeong, di ka sasama?” tanong ni Aeri

“Mas gusto ko magpahinga eh”

“Aw sad, ikaw ba Ate Jimin?“

“Ah, go on girls. I can’t, may kikitain lang ako. Sunod ako if ever” sagot ni Kapre habang busy kakatext ata sa phone niya.

Pansin ko ang pagtaas ng kilay ni Aeri, “Siya ba?”

“Ha?”

“Siya ba Jimin? Yung kikitain mo?” pabulong na sinabi ni Aeri

“Hmm”

“Anong hmm? Siya ba Jimin?”

“Oo, siya”

“Naku naku, bahala ka. Be careful girl ha? Lalo na magdedebut ka na?”

“We’re awfully careful okay? Aeri?”

“Whatever”

Anong alam nila na hindi ko alam? Gusto ko magtanong kaso ano ba pake ko? Bahala sila.

“Aalis na ako, ingat kayo or ingat sila sa inyo”

Sabay si Aeri at Ning nagbabye habang si Jimin ay nagpophone pa rin. Wala naman din ako pake sa kanya, so what.

Malapit na ako sa exit ng mapansin kong naiwan ko yung jacket ko sa practice room. Tsk, ang haba na ng nalakad ko eh pero no choice ako na bumalik. On the way sa pagbalik ko ay nakasalubong ko sila Ning at Aeri.

“Oh? San punta mo Minjeong?” tanong ni Ning

“Sa practice room, naiwan ko jacket ko”

“Ah sige, andun pa naman ata si Ate Jimin. Ingat ka paguwi”

“Gege, pasalubong ah? Haribo gummy bear lang please?”

“Sure sure, bye” sagot ni Aeri

Grabe naman energy nung dalawang yun? 3pm-ish na ah? Ayaw pa nila magpahinga? Hmm, sabagay, simula nung makilala ko yung dalawang yun, talagang sobrang taas ng energy.

Malapit na ako sa practice room nang may narinig akong boses pero hindi kay Kapre, “God, I miss you hon” sabi nung lalaki. Taena muntik pa nga ata ako makakita ng live ah? Buti hindi ako sumilip, baka makakita ako ng nagchuchukchakan.

Ay naku, ibibilin ko na nga lang sa janitor. Kaasar naman tong mga bunnies na to.

“Jae, we need to talk” hmm? boses ni Kapre yun ah?

“About what?”

“About our setup? We can’t live like this anymore, no, I can’t live like this anymore Jae. My debut date is coming, alam mo naman kung gaano kaimportante sa akin to diba? I don’t want to mess it up and I’m already stressed enough thinking about it. I can’t take another set of stress anymore, fearing baka mahuli tayo” for someone na nag-iingat, bakit sa bukas na practice room kayo nag-uusap ng ganito? Kagaling ah?

“I know, that’s why we’re extra careful right? You know na I don’t want to jeopardize your career. We’ve been together for 5 years hon. We manage nung nagdebut ako. Same goes with you? we can go through it again, hon. We can work this out”

Pero gagu? May jowa si Kapre? Gagi sino?

“Jaehyun, you know how much effort and time I gave to make it work that time. Can you do the same thing? No, cause you’re already an idol, hindi katulad dati na trainee palang ako”

“I’ll try hon, you did so much for me back then. I’ll try to give as much”

“You’re god damn famous Jaehyun, so you can’t. And for sure you’ll only suffer if you try, we will both suffer. We have to know when to stop Jae. If tayo talaga, tayo talaga”

“Don’t do this hon, please? I’ll try. I love you so much, you know that right?”

“I know, and believe me. I love you too, but it’s not yet our time. Let faith decide what’s for us in the future pero ngayon, we need to focus sa career natin. I need to let you go Jae and you need to let me go”

“If-if that’s what you want. Sure. J-just let me know when you’re ready, I’ll wait for you hon, promise”

“You don’t have to, you know I hate promises”

“O-ofcourse, how can I forget that. Pero Jimin, if you need me; I’ll be there if I can. I’ll support you kahit anong mangyari, if you need someone to talk to or shoulder to cry on, I’m here okay?”

“T-thank you Jae. I love you. You know how hard for me to d-do this”

Taena, bakit para akong tuod dito at hindi ako makaalis? Napakamarites ko pala?

“I know hon, I love you too. I-I really need to go na, I’ll call you late-or not”

Aalis na ako, bahala na nga sila. Goodluck sa inyong magjowa diyan. Isang paa ko pa lang yung nakahandang umalis nang may narinig akong boses.

“Who are you? Are you eavesdropping?” gagu si Jaehyun ng MCT!

“Ay ah uhm, di ko sadya. Masyado kayong open magusap para sa nag-iingat”

“Shet. Miss, can you do me a favor? Please don’t tell anyone about what you heard. I don’t want Jimin to suffer dahil dito please? I’m willing to do anything, you know I’m an idol and I can get back up if a
