"You what now?" Tanong ni Winter at tiningnan si Karina.

"I said," napatigil sa pagsasalita si Karina dahil may dumaan na grupo ng babae sa harapan nila. Sinundan muna nila ng tingin ang mga babae. They waited until they are far away from the two of them. 

She looked around and saw that they are in the hallway to the comfort roon. Sa dami ba naman ng lugar na pwede syang hilahin ni Winter, dito pa. Siguro ay maraming beses pa silang maiistorbo kapag dito pa rin sila nag-usap. 

"Come here," the taller said and held the younger's hand. It's soft and warm like her favorite pillow. 

"Saan ba tayo pupunta?" Naiiritang tanong ni Winter. Karina scoffed. Wala bang common sense si Winter? O kahit sense of direction? 

"Can you just walk quietly, Kim?" She asked. Naglakad sila hanggang sa exit ng venue. Sumandal sila sa may pader ng building. Karina huffed. Napagod sya sa paglalakad. Remind her to jog around next time. 

"So?" Winter asked awkwardly. They went overboard with the confessions. Winter just got so full of Karina's inconsistency. Pero, she must admit, she is a er for angry confessions. 

"I love you too," sabi ni Karina. She played with Winter's hand with a smile. It feels good to finally say it out loud. Bahala na si Batman. Kung masasaktan man sya, edi go. Winter is worth the pain. Hindi naman sya basta aamin kung hindi. 

"You do? Hindi magandang prank yan, Yu. Iiyak talaga ako," Winter said. Karina giggled while looking at Winter's face. The younger looks like a cute puppy. 

She fixed the younger's hair and wiped the remaining tears on her face. 

"Wala naman akong sinabing prank lang. Nakikinig ka ba talaga sakin?" Karina teased. Lumapit sya kay Winter at hinalikan ang kanang pisngi nito. 

"Hoy! We have been looking for you! Ano na nangyari?" Tanong ni Jaemin at lumapit sa dalawa. He noticed the stares and the hand holding. 

"Ay, kayo na ba?" Singit ni Chaewon na nakasilip mula sa likod ng lalaki. Winter scoffed and pulled her hand.

"Hindi," sagot nya at naunang umalis. Napaamot sa may kilay si Karina.

"Guess I'll court her then." She said. Hinabol nya si Winter at niyakap sa likod. Hindi naman nila kailangang idefine kung ano ang relasyon nila. They love each other. That should be enough for now. 

"Bitaw kasi! Ang laki mo kayang tao, nasa public place pa tayo," inapakan ni Winter ang paa ni Karina. The latter let go and jumped in pain. She snickered.

"Tangina mo talaga, Kim! May utang ka pa sakin ha," sabi ni Karina at naglakad na lamang sa tabi ni Winter. 

"Anong utang na naman? Gawa-gawa ka talaga kahit kailan, ano?" The taller girl raised a brow.

"Idiot. Hindi mo pa nagagawa ang part mo sa deal. Sus, ginamit mo pa yung kunwaring pagconcede ng defeat para paaminin ako ha. You sly fox," sinundot-sundot ni Karina ang pisngi ni Winter. 

"Stop it! Gosh, you are so annoying!" 

"But you love this annoying woman," napatigil si Winter. She looked at the older girl from head to toe before sighing.

"Yeah, I do." Napataas ang kilay ni Karina.

"Bakit parang lugi ka pa?" She pouted and crossed her arms. 

Hindi na siguro mabubuo ang araw nila kapag hindi sila nag-away. It's their hobby.

"Hindi ba?" Winter taunted. 

"Gago ka," hinampas ni Karina ang balikat ni Winter bago pumasok sa sasakyan. Irene looked at them and smiled to herself. Mapapauwi ata ang mga nanay nila ng wala sa oras. 

"Ang tagal nyo po," bungad ni Wonyong. Winter chuckled while shaking her head.

"May nadaanan kasi akong pabebe sa may comfort room. Nagseselos sa new friend ng kaaway nya," pagpaparinig nya kay Karina. The latter kicked her seat.

"Hindi ako nagseselos, gago!" She defended. Winter raised a brow and looked back at Karina.

"Sabi ko may nadaanan ako. Hindi rin naman ako nag-name drop." Nakangising pang-aasar nya. Pumasok naman sila Jaemin at Chaewon sa van.

"Itikom nyo mga bunganga nyo ha? Pagod ako," pagbabanta ni Chaewon at umirap pa. 

"So, ano nga real score nyo ni Karina?" Bulong ni Jaemin kay Winter. 

The younger hummed. 

"Wala naman. Kakaamin lang naman nya. Kailangan ba lagi ng label?" She asked the guy. Jaemin loooked at her with a confused face.

"Hindi naman namin kayo minamadali, pero anong label yung magkaaway na nag-aaylabyuhan?" He asked sarcastically. 

"Bakit ba palagi na lang kami ang topic nyo? Bakit hindi mo itopic yung paglandi mo sa ibang tao kasi ayaw mo aminin na may gusto ka sa best friend mo?" Singit ni Karina. Inirapan sya ni Jaemin at hindi na sinagot. Hits too close to home kasi. 

"Mahal kita, Yu." Sabi ni Winter. Sinadya nya na marinig ng lahat para lang maasar sila. She is that annoying. 

Karina grinned, her pearly teeth showing.

"I love you too, Kim!" 

"Tangina! Magpatulog nga kayo!"

Cute naman ang label nila. Una enemies, tapos naging enemies who kiss, tapos naging friends, friends who kiss, and now, frenemies who kiss and love each other. Tsaka na siguro sila maglelevel-up. Magkaaway muna ulit sila na nag-aaylabyuhan.
