Sir Suho offered me na samahan ko daw siya sa HR department. He’ll give some instructions daw with regards to Seulgi’s status. I don’t know what’s with him, but he looks happy now. Wala akong gana makipagtalo or mag-isip. Wala din akong gana magwork.

“You want to grab some lunch?”

“….” Seul might ask me to have a lunch with her pero I can’t say that yet.

“Sunmi and Seul might tag along din pero baka malate sila.”

“Huh sure ka sir?” Nagnod siya. Maybe because kay Sunmi nga kaya hindi kami makakapagsolo ngayon kumain.

“Okay, I’ll come.” Ateast makikita ko si Seulgi mamaya kaagad.

“My treat. After this sa HR diretso na tayo.”

Pumunta kami sa malapit lang na kainan. I waited patiently kila Seulgi pero naserve na yung food namin wala padin sila.

“Let’s not wait for Sunmi and Seul, Baka napahaba yung pag-uusap nila kaya hindi padin sila nakakasunod.” That caught my attention again. Why? Why need mag-usap ng mahaba? What is happening? What’s with Sunmi and my girlfriend? Then I recall…. Bear. Paulit ulit sa tenga ko.

Sunmi called my girl, Bear.

Her Bear.

Totga.

Yung chinachase niya.

Yung ipaglalaban niya.

Then it hit me.

Why of all the people, why yung boss ko pa?

I keep on checking my phone. Seulgi is not texting. This is her, dapat ngayon mag-aupdate na siya kasi nga lunch na. She always texts me para makasure na kumakain ako. Antagal naman nila magkausap. Bother ako sa last scenario na nakita ko. Paulit-ulit sa utak ko yung mukha ni Seul ng makita niya si Sunmi. Sobra ba yung effect ni Sunmi sa kanya at parang nakalimutan na niya ako?

Seul, how are you? - R

"Sunmi and Seulgi are former lovers. I thought you knew kasi close ka both sa kanila?" Pag-oopen ni sir ng topic kasi halata naman na wala akong balak makipag-usap. I am sorry sir pero may iniisip kasi ako.

“I am not aware sir with the identity ng mga former relationship nila, but I know the story.”

Sir Suho's word keeps on repeating sa utak ko. Sunmi and Miya. All this time, I help plant the bomb pala. All this time, nasa tabi ko na pala siya. Hindi ko maiwasang magkaroon ng inis. Inis na hindi ko din naman alam kung saan ibubuntong. Sunmi is very kind, friendly, wala kang masamang masasabi dito and that's my problem. I should not compliment her diba? I should be jealous. I should be mad at her for hugging my girlfriend in front of me. But my girlfriend let her.

“Hey, you okay? Hindi mo pa nagagalaw yung food mo?” Pinatong niya yung kamay niya sa kamay ko.

“Sir? Ah, okay lang po.” Habang binabawi ko yung kamay ko ng dahan dahan para hindi siya maoffend. Kinuha nalang ako ng spoon and fork kahit I have no appetite to eat. I just want to see Seulgi right now. I need to see my girl. Hindi ako nagdududa. May tiwala ako kay Seulgi pero kilala ko din si Sunmi. She is persistent when it comes to the things na gusto niya. Lagi niya sa akin kinekwento na hindi niya hahayaang mawala ang ex niya. Pero hindi ko din pwedeng hayaang maagaw niya lang ito ng basta basta. Seulgi is mine now.

“I am just happy na Sunmi can have her last chance again.” I look at Sir Suho.

“Last chance?”

“Yes. Sunmi’s been through a lot. Nakipaghiwalay siya sa finace niya even dad was against it. She really fought for Seulgi. I have no doubt na even if Seulgi is taken, Sunmi can get her back. They were each other’s greatest love after all.” I let Sir to talk. I don’t have anything to say. I’ve heard enough. I’ve seen enough. All I want now is to go home na, sa unit ni Seulgi. Sa piling niya.

Nung makabalik na kami, wala na sila Sunmi. The guard said umalis daw si Seulgi and kasunod si Sunmi. They are not answering our text. Ano ba naman kasi yung ginagawa nila?

Baby? Text me please. I am worried. – R

“Ma’am Irene?”

“Yes Chaeyeon?” Anong ginagawa nito rito?

“Pinapaabot po ni Sir Suho. Sainyo po ata yung phone kasi ikaw yung wallpaper.” I immediately snatch it. Stupid Seulgi for leaving this, kaya pala hindi nakakasagot. Almost uwian na. I need to go home, and I am hoping na nasa bahay na ang girlfriend ko.

“Seul? Baby?” Nakarating na ako sa unit but all I saw are our babies, Lulu and Lala.

“Baby did your mom go home na?”

“Meow.” Tsk. Nasaan ka na ba Seul?

“My God Seul where are you!? Hindi pa kita nakikita ulit.” Yung words ni Sir Suho hindi na nawala sa isip ko. ‘They were each other’s greatest love’ Ganun nalang ba yun? Isang pagkikita bigla ng nawala yung sa atin? I am starting to get paranoid. I’ve heard the door na nag-open. Nagmadali ako na lumabas ng kwarto. That’s probably Seulgi. Nung nakita ko siya na papasok, agad ko siyang sinalubong and niyakap ng mahigpit.

“My god baby where have you been?!”

“Hyun…”

“Are you drunk?!” Umiwas yung tingin niya sa akin. Uminom siya. Pero bakit? Nasasaktan padin ba siya kay Sunmi?

“Nakakain ka na ba baby?” Patay malisya niyang tanong.

“Bakit ka uminom? Tell me.” Nagulat ako ng halikan niya ako ng may pusok.

“Hey.. Seul… Stop..” I push her.

“What’s wrong? Bakit ayaw mo?” Seul never gets mad at me. She’s not mad actually. She’s frustrated. But why?

“Wait. Ano bang nangyayare sayo? Ako nga dapat yung magalit eh. Hindi ba kasama mo si Sunmi buong araw?” Umupo siya sa may dining chair na malapit sa kinatatayuan namin. She sighs and stays silent, face palm.

“I am not with Sunmi. I forgot din if saan ko napatong yung phone ko. I tried chasing you earlier nung hinila ka ni Suho. I hate it when somebody holds your hand.”

“I saw Sunmi hugged you.”
