Chapter 22
Basta Angkas Rider, Sweet Lover
"You, okay?"
"Yeah." Tipid na sagot ni Seulgi. Ang off lang bakit parang nag-iba yung mood niya. Hinawakan ko yung kamay niya hindi naman niya ito tinanggihan. Our hands are intertwined pero I feel na tense siya.
"Si Sir Suho yung kausap mo kanina right?" Nagnod lang siya.
"Then why can't you..."
"I said I am fine Hyun. Not now please." She cut me. She looks mad. I don't know if sa akin so I hold on tight sa kamay niya leaning against her shoulder.
"Whatever it is, I am here for you." She looks at me and then tumingin sa iba. Something happened and I don't like it. Maya maya pa pinatawag naman kami ni Daddy. Nasa may backyard sila kasama yung mga matatanda nakikipagkwentuha, basically nagyayabangan. Mga new comers sila pero hindi ko masyado kilala.
"Here na pala si Rene with her.... girlfriend." Pakilala ni Daddy. I am just happy. Whatever na pinag-usapan nila ni Seulgi, I know napakaimportante nun to the point that Dad was able to introduce my girl to everyone.

"You did good baby." While she's drying her hair. Kakatapos lang namin magshower, not together ah. She's waiting for me nalang sa bed while I doing my rituals.
"I did?" Binaba niya yung phone niya. May tinitignan kasi siya dito.
"Yes, they all love you." While kinuha ko yung blower and umupo na sa make up vanity table ko.
"Not all baby. I've heard your other titas saying that you are so smart but they don't know what happened."
"Okay, fine not all maybe majority?" While observing kung ano yung ginagawa niya using the mirror in front of me.
"Hmmmm.... I want to sleep na, maaga pa tayo tomorrow." Mga ilang oras pa ng matapos ako sa ginagawa ko. Lumipat na ako sa tabi niya. She's still using her phone kahit sabi niyang matulog na kami.
"Seul...." I decided na to lean on her. I need to tell her tonight, hindi ko na pwede pa tong patagalin.
"Hm?" As she put down her phone sa table sa tabi ng kama ko.
"What happened earlier? What did Suho told you?"
"Ah... well...." Tama ba yung naiisip ko? Pero why is she not bothered?
"Well....?"
"Their biggest investor saw me daw sa launching..."
"And?"
"And they want to meet me."
"Why?" Naiinip ako sa pagputol putol niya.
"They know me daw but they want to make sure first so Suho invited me for a dinner next week. He said it's not about any proposal, it's more of a favor kasi hindi niya mahindian yung investor but I declined. I don't even care about his invetors."
"So bakit nawala ka sa mood?" Gosh Seulgi, pinapakaba mo ko.
"My tito also called kasi. He wants to meet me, something important daw so I said yes since makulit siya. I am sure naman he will ask for money lang."
"That's it?"
"Yes yun lang. Sorry I was not in my best mood when it comes to my family kasi I get easily annoyed. You know I don't have the best family background." She's signal me to lean sa arms niya but I rejected it.
"Is something wrong baby?" Umupo ako sa kama and sinundan niya naman ako. Sobra yung kabog ng puso ko kasi I know Seulgi will be mad at me or worst, might leave me tonight. Sobrang lamig ng kamay ko and I am breathing too fast. These are the moments yung kapag sobrang guilty ka and you will confess.
"Seul..."
"Hey, you're making me nervous." She tried to touch my face and I hold on to it so bad. Then tears follow.
"Hyun, why are you crying? What's wrong?"
"Seul...." I can't... I can't let her mad at me again.
"Hyun... please don't cry bakit ano ba yun? Anong nagawa ko? Okay naman tayo ah."
"Seul.. I'm sorry."
"Ano to? Hey stop crying please. Ano ba yun?" She wipe my tears na lalong nagpaiyak sa akin.
"It's about..." Then she just looks at me waiting, waiting patiently kahit nakakunot yung noo.
"It's about Suho and I." Little by little, she removes her hand sa pisngi ko.
"What about him?" The moment I've mentioned Suho, her mood changes. From being worried to annoyed one.
"We.....we kissed." I saw her gulped, not once or twice. Still quiet looking at me, blinking and confused. It took her a while before makapagproduce siya ng words to say.
"When? Since when niyo pa ako niloloko?" Then I'd realize how she perceived what I said.
"Seul..." I tried to hold her hand pero she immediately avoided it. She stands up, hands on her waist facing back at me. I can see how she is supres
