"Nagtext si Minjeong?"

"Oo, hindi mo pa pala dinedelete ang number niya?" 

Karina looked away "I don't know, nakalimutan ko siguro"

Tinignan siya ni Irene, she handed her Karina's phone.

Irene wanted to say na baka kaya dahil hindi pa dinedelete ni Karina ang number nito ay dahil nagaantay pa siya sa pagbalik nito.

But she knows Karina would deny it. Kasi ayaw din naman ni Karina aminin sa sarili niya mismo.

Irene looked at her worriedly.

"I'll be at the kitchen"

3 new messages from my constant

Karina, I don't know if this is still your number, but please do know my intention was to not upset you, I know ayaw mo na sinasabi ko 'to but I apologize for how I acted.

Kung ayos lang sa'yo, gusto sana kitang makausap.

Please let me know if you receive this message.

Karina sighed, she didn't answer the text message.

Sumunod siya kay Irene sa kitchen.

She shouldn't be feeling this way.

a few months after they broke up 8 years ago.

Itinigil ni Karina 'yung sasakyan niya sa isang gilid, She just finished shooting for her first movie noong bigla siyang makareceive siya ng call mula kay Minju kaya napa u-turn tuloy siya ng wala sa oras.

Minamadali siya ni Minju pabalik sa Cubao, around alimall area to be exact. They rented a room good for 10 people sa isang KTV.

She was looking at the busy road of edsa, the cars were moving slowly. She realized its been so long since she last appreciated the small things around her.

She got used to stay inside her place when she broke up with Minjeong.

Karina was the hyper type, and Minjeong was the calm one. They were polar opposites, but somehow, Karina enjoys Minjeong's calm activities as much as Minjeong enjoys Karina's extreme adventures.

But Minjeong's nowhere to be found now and Karina couldn't enjoy things as much as she does before.

She got used to having Minjeong around, The things she used to do alone she started doing with Minjeong, and now she couldn't enjoy it alone anymore.

She went out of her car holding her purse, most likely they'll make her pay because for sure her friends are drunk now.

"Finally" salubong ni Minju na halatang pagod na pagod, Napasapo pa ito sa noo.

"What happened?" Tanong niya

"Yeji and Soobin broke up" Nagtataka si Karina na tumingin sa kausap

“Soobin….Who?”

“Si gwapong Engineer” Karina still can’t remember, baka masyado din kasi siyang occupied this days so she can’t recall

"Yeji's passed out na on the couch" Karina looked around, nakita niya si Yeji na nakahiga sa couch at mukhang nakatulog na nga. Si Ning na kumakanta habang umiinom ng beer, si Ryujin at Giselle na nagpapalitan ng shots at namumulutan.

“Where are the boys?”

“Nasa Cebu pa sila, may tinatapos sa site, 'di ka nanaman ba nagbabasa ng gc?” Umiling si Karina

“Too busy for that” Tumango nalang si Minju, umupo sila sa isang couch and Karina started drinking

“You’ll drive pa diba?”

“I’ll stay over at yours, daanan ko nalang bukas sasakyan ko dito” Tumango si Minju, siya lang ang hindi umiinom ngayon dahil siya ang nakatoka na magdrive sa kanilang lahat pauwi mamaya.

“Rina….I saw her kahapon sa Morayta” Karina looked at Minju

“Did she say anything?” Mahinang tanong ni Karina

“Hindi niya ata narinig nung tinatawag ko siya” 

“I miss her” sumandal siya sa balikat ni Minju

“You deserve better Rina….”

“I know…..but I only want Minjeong" she paused and downs a shot of vodka "I still do want her after all that happened to us a year ago” 

“Chaewon said Minjeong’s going to New York, she’s going to stay with their aunt”

She just wished that Minjeong would also reach out to her. She still believes na kaya pa nilang ayusin 'yung nangyari a year ago. They just need to talk.

She suddenly felt Minju patting her head, she didn’t realize na nababasa na pala ng luha niya yung damit nito. “I know you’re thinking na sana she would reach out to you”

She stopped and sighed “But if she really wanted to, she would’ve done that sooner right? Three months mo siyang hinabol Karina, you texted her everyday, you called her everyday, pero never naman siyang sumagot, nung pumunta ka sa unit niya wala din siya dun, pinili niyang taguan ka, she ghosted you"

"Tama na Karina, mauubos ka na, mahalin mo naman yung sarili mo, hayaan mo na siya, she’s not worthy for you”

Karina hates to admit it but what Minju said was right, It should be Minjeong who’s chasing after her nga after that night, It should be Minjeong who’s running after her. 

Karina never realized she was begging to be loved.

She never once begged for love kahit sa tatay niya, she always thought that begging was pathetic, but with Minjeong, she did almost all the things she never expected she would do.

And from then on, Karina promised herself that she will never chase after someone again.
