How's One to Know?
Description
Winter and Karina have been friends since they were in the first grade. Flash forward around 13 years later, they try to get over conventional hurdles that best friends who have feelings for each other typically encounter.
Your typical best friends to lovers story, pero parehas nilang hindi alam ang ginagawa nila and that became a problem.
First story ko po ito, please be nice. Just a short one, but I'll make it sweet :)
Foreword
Kinalabit ako ng babaeng itinabi sa akin ni teacher, at tinuro niya 'yung isang word sa sinasagutan naming "Tell Me About Yourself" worksheets.
"Hi, do you know ano meaning ng word na 'to?"
I looked down on her worksheet. The word was 'season', hindi ko lang alam kung 'yung panahon or kung asin at paminta ba ito. Sabi ni mommy seasonings daw ang tawag sa ganoon nang nagluto kami ng itlog kaninang umaga.
"Season. Ano daw ang favorite mong season. Mine's winter siguro, I love winter. Have you been to South Korea? My mommy's from there kaya nag-go kami doon kapag winter na."
Tumango siya sa akin at nagsimulang magsulat. Spring daw ang gusto niya. May spring ba dito sa Pilipinas? Sabi ni daddy spring daw kapag after ng rainy season kasi parang sa South Korea, doon tumutubo ang mga pretty flowers.
"Your name is Minjeong?" I ask her. "I'm Jimin, pero you can call me Karina too."
She smirks at me and speaks, "Mhm, Minjeong. Pero sana Winter na lang din itawag mo sa akin."
"Bakit Winter? Is that your palayaw?"
"No, para love mo na rin ako. Then we can be best friends and magpapakasal din tayo. Sabi ni mama ganoon daw 'yun, dapat mag-best friends kayo ng pakakasalan mo para hindi kayo mag-aaway."
I smile. "Okay, Winter. Best friends na tayo from now on."
A text message snaps me out of my little trip down memory lane.
Winter :P: late me today hehe sorry agad pakibilisan na lang
I have no idea what's up today since we don't usually text in the morning pero agad din naman akong nag-reply sa kanya.
