"Winter hey!" Bati ni Minju at umupo sa tabi ni Winter. Maganda pa rin siya, like super. Mukhang anghel. But enough about her looks, they're here for a reason. 

They are currently in the park near Winter's taller. The latter texted Minju to meet up, and talk. Thankfully, bored si Minju at pumayag. 

Natauhan kasi siya sa sinabi ni Karina. Bakit siya magsesettle for less? She's worth more than that, hindi ba? 

"Hi, Minju. Buti pala free ka," bati ni Winter. Nilaro niya ang kanyang daliri at tahimik na tumingi sa mga taong dumadaan. Some of them are jogging. Some are with their families. Nakakarelax pala ang people-watching.  

"Malakas ka kaya sakin. I'll make time for you if I can." Winter winced. It does not feel like it. 

"I just wanna say na let's stop whatever this is." Itinuro niya si Minju at ang sarili niya. Minju raised a brow, taken aback. 

"What? Bakit naman? May nagawa ba ako? Look, if may hindi ka gusto sakin, I can change. Kaya ko naman palitan lahat ng ayaw mo. Mahirap pero kakayanin," Winter closed her eyes to collect herself. Gago ang manipulative sadgirl naman pala nitong si Minju.  

"No, wala naman. It's just that you don't deserve me," sana proud sakanya ang mga kaibigan niya, at si DJ Karina na halos kalahating oras siyang nimock noong tumawag siya sa RadioLove. If Minju does not deserve her, then who  does? Kailan niya makikilala ang tao na para sakanya?

"What do you mean I don't deserve you? Hindi pa ba enough yung time na binibigay ko sayo? Dadagdagan ko. Gusto mo bang ligawan kita? Pwede, pero hindi pa ako ready magcommit." Minju said and held her hand. She looked sad, but not that sad. Para ngang mas malungkot pa siya noong ikinuwento ang buhay ng best friend niya bago sumikat. Tsaka anong liligawan pero takot sa commitment?

Parang magjowa silang nagbbreak, eh fling lang naman. Mga kabataan nga naman. 

"Just, please. Ayoko na e. Can we just leave it like that? You're a great woman, Minju. But we're not for each other. We can be friends naman. Soon." Sabi ni Winter at tumayo. 

"But-"

"I'll see you soon, Minju." Sabi ni Winter at mabilis na naglakad papalayo. Baka kasi madala siya ng puppy dog eyes ni Minju. Marupok pa naman siya sa magagandang babae. Inilagay niya sa bulsa ang kanyang mga kamay. Maaga pa naman para bumalik sa talyer. Magrerelax muna siya at magsesenti.  

"Hey Miss! You dropped your wallet," rining ni Winter sa likod niya. She did not pay attention to the stranger. Ang dami namang babae na nasa unahan niya. Baka sila ang tinatawag. Tsaka baka yan yung modus na nauuso ngayon. Winter walked faster. 

Sawa na mag-assume si Winter. Joke. Papahinga lang siya bago lumandi ulit. Self-love muna. 

"Hey," someone tapped her shoulders lightly. She sighed and looked back. Gusto niya lang naman mapag-isa. Why can't people leave her alone for just a moment? Lumingon siya sa likod niya. 

Nanlaki ang mata niya nang makita si Karina. Ang ganda talaga. Her hair is in ponytail. 

"Karina! Ikaw pala." Sabi ni Winter at ngumiti. Karina nodded her head and smiled.

"Oh, it's you pala. You dropped your wallet." Iniabot ni Karina ang Melody na wallet ni Winter. In her defense, coin purse niya lang naman iyon. Tsaka nakakatamad bumili ng bagong coin purse. Favorite niya kaya si Melody. 

"Sa-salamat," she blushed. Karina looks like Kuromi.

"It's cute," Karina said while walking beside Winter. The younger hid her face with her hands. She's embarrassed. 

"Don't tease me! It's really cute nga." She said and huffed. Karina shrugged, her eyes observing the shorter girl. She does not look like she's here to jog or exercise.  

"I never intend it to be a tease, Just Winter. Anyway, what are you doing here in the park? I am always here, but never seen you before." Tanong ni Karina. Winter cleared . 

"Malaki ang park, Karina. Baka hindi mo lang ako napapansin," sabi ni Winter at tumingin kay Karina. Hindi na lang muna niya pinansin ang pagtawag sakanya ng Just Winter. Like, excuse me, love language nya rin ata ang bardagulan. 

"That's impossible. You would have caught my eyes for sure." Karina said and half smiled. 

"Alam mo, ang flirty mo. Noong nakaraan ka pa ha," inilagay ni Winter ang dalawa niyang kamay sa magkabila niyang bewang. 

"I am?" Gulat na gulat na tanong ni Karina. First time niya siguro masabihan nang ganoon. 

"Yep. Hindi ba intentional ang mga compliments mo?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Winter. Umupo siya sa may damuhan. Karina sat beside her.

"No. I was just telling you the truth. Anyway, hindi mo pa nasasagot tanong ko. Why are you here?" 

"I went to see an old fling? Basta yung kalandian ko noong nakaraang buwan. Nakipagbreak ako in a way. Alam mo ba yung RadioLove? Ang rude ng DJ don na isa e! Kapangalan mo pa!" Sabi ni Winter at tumawa. Karina stared at her with a frown.

"But that was really me, Winter." Biglang humaba ang nguso ni Karina. Napakamot sa batok si Winter. Malay ba niya na iisa lang si Karina na nakasalubong niya sa mall at si Karina na DJ ng RadioLove. 

"Sorry, hehe. Pero magaling ka naman mag-advice. Napasunod mo nga ako e. Pero you know, think before you speak, ganon. Nakakaintimidate ka kasi minsan," Winter said. She's afraid that she'll offend the taller girl. 

Karina nodded her head and hummed. 

"Thank you for the constructive criticism, Summer. I can do that." Winter blinked her eyes. She knew some people take constructive criticism positively, but she never met one. And Summer, . So she knew. 

"Summer ka diyan." Karina stood up. She waved her hand a little. 

"Well then, see you around Summer. And please, try not to fall in love with people so easily. Love is more than a 3-seconds interaction. It takes time, really." Sabi ni Karina at tumakbo paalis. Winter stared at her disappearing figure. Nakalimutan ba ni Karina na kailangan nilang magdinner sa susunod na magkita sila. 

Well, the world is small. Baka naman magkita ulit sila. Besides, magiging suki ng RadioLove si Winter.
