Malalim na ang gabi. Nasa loob pa rin ng kweba sina Frances at Donghae at walang magawa ang dalawa kundi ang tumingin sa bilog na buwan. Ang totoo nyan, nagkakahiyaan silang dalawa kaya naman super awkward ng atmosphere. Sa tuwing magtatagpo ang paningin nila ay agad silang umiiwas ng tingin sa isa't-isa.

"Hey..." panimula ni Frances. Pero iyon lang ang kaya nyang sabihin dahil hindi naman nya alam kung ano ba talaga ang dapat nyang sabihin para naman may mapag-usapan silang dalawa kahit na papaano.

"What's your favorite Super Junior song?" biglang naitanong ni Donghae.

"Huh?" nasabi na lamang ni Frances. Saan naman kayang sulok ng mundo nahugot ni Donghae ang tanong na iyon at bakit naman kaya bigla nyang naisipang itanong iyon.

"Uhm...you told me that you are a certified ELF and that Siwon is your most favorite singer among us...so I'm just wondering if you have a favorite Super Junior song or maybe all of Siwon's songs are your favorite?" pag-eelaborate ng binata.

"I love all of Suju's songs, specially "Plz Don't". And all of your solos, even if it's not among SUJU's albums." nasabi ni Frances na sya namang ikinahiya niya. Hindi nya sinasadyang sabihin na favorite nya yung kanta ni Donghae kaya napatakip sya sa bibig nya.

"Really? I felt so glad that you said that," wika ng binata.

"Hehehe."

Katahimikan.

"Do you feel cold? You can have my jacket if you want to, " wika ni Donghae at pagkatapos ay hinubad nya ang kanyang jacket at iniabot kay Frances. Nagulat si Frances sa inakto ng binata.

Tatanggapin na sana ito ng dalaga nang bigla namang humatching si Donghae. Isa itong senyales na nilalamig na ito at malapit na syang magkasipon dahil hinubad nya ang kanyang jacket sa loob ng maikling panahong iyon.

"Psh. I guess you will be needing this more than me. A lot of rich people easily get sick after all, just like you." painsultong wika ng dalaga.

"What did you say?!"

"Psh. It would be better if we sleep already! We need to get out of here as early as possible tomorrow! I'm sure that Siwon and Eunhyuk are really worried so it would be better if we would wake up early so that we can find our way fast towards the camp!" wika ni Frances sabay higa nito sa lupa. Pagkatapos noon ay tinalikuran na nito ang binata.

Nalungkot si Donghae sa kanyang narinig. Hanggang ngayon pala ay si Siwon pa rin ang nasa isipan ni Frances.

"Frances..." mahinang tawag ni Donghae sa dalaga. Sa tono ng pananalita ni Donghae ay biglang kinabahan si Frances. Ano naman kaya ang sasabihin nito?! Sa totoo kasi ay kinakabahan na ang dalaga dahil una sa lahat ay sila lamang ni Donghae ang naroroon sa lugar na iyon. Ibig sabihin ay solo nila ang lugar at maaari nilang gawin ang kahit na anong gusto nila. Biglang pumasok sa isipan ng dalaga ang kung anu-ano. Pangalawa ay nahihiya ito sa binata dahil may lihim itong pagkagusto kay Donghae at ayaw na nyang makipag-usap pa dito kaya tinalikuran niya ito kanina.

Mamulamula man ang kanyang pisngi ay tumugon ito sa binata habang nakatalikod pa rin dito.

"What?" tanong ni Frances kay Donghae.

"Do you like Siwon?" tanong ni Donghae na siya namang ikinabigla ng dalaga.

"Ahm…N-no. I don't like him romantically. I treat him as a friend.”

“Brrrrrssssssh what has entered into your mind anyway and you're asking that to me right now?" pagpapatuloy nito.

"You're a primadonna you know that? You easily get angry to whatever I say. Sheesh...I really find it hard to talk to you nicely. I'm trying to be nice but you keep on being mad to me…" wika ng binata. May point nga naman si Donghae. Tinamaan si Frances sa sinabi nito. Hindi tuloy nya alam kung papaano siya magrereact sa sinabi ng binata.

"Hehehehehe really? I'm sorry, I have PMS," palusot ng dalaga.

"Hm? You mean you're always PMS-ing?" sa sinabi ni Donghae ay napabangon ang dalaga sa pagkahiya at hinarap na nito ang binata. Infairness, nag-blush sya sa sinabi nito. (PMS = menstrual period)

"Haist...will you quit on talking to me!"

"I wanna talk to you badly! I wanna talk to you right now! I wanna talk to you forever!" wika ng binata. Lalong namula si Frances. Konti na lang talaga at bibigay na sya. Hindi pwede to...UWAAAA! sasabog na ata sya! Hindi dapat malaman ni Donghae na may nararamdaman ito sa kanya!

"Frances...I wanna talk to you about something. There's a girl that I really like. I really really like her...that I badly want her to be mine right now," wika ni Donghae. Nagulat na naman si Frances sa sinabi nito.

"Who's that girl?"

"Secret."

Mayamaya pa ay nakaramdam si Frances ng panlalambot at panghihina.

"Oh, what happened?" tanong ng binata. Donghae smirks. "I knew it. You're jealous."

"HUH? No way. In your dreams! Do really think that I'm jealous?! Do you really think that I like you?! Do you really think that you're so handsome and hot?! I would never ever have a crush on someone like you who is so full of himself! Yeah right I was like oh so crazy about you I was just controlling myself because you're with Jessica that time and that the ELFs will be mad at me if I became your girlfriend but now its over! Over! Mark my words!"

"Why are you so defensive?" nangingiting tanong ng binata. Nabanggit kasi ng dalaga ang pagkaadik nito kay Donghae noon. Naalala tuloy ni Donghae.

"Huh? Nothing. Just continue your story?"

"So...going back to the story, there's that girl that I like."

"Is that Jessica Jung?"

"Nope."

"Anyway, why are you saying such things to me?"

"H-huh? Uhm...because...it's just that I only want to ask for some advice from you," palusot naman ni Donghae. Pero ang totoo nyan ay gusto na sana nyang aminin kay Frances ang nararamdaman nya.

"Ok."

"I realized that I love her just now. But I feel that she doesn't like me, anymore..." wika ng binata.

Biglang nainis ang dalaga. Sinuswerte naman ata ang babaeng iyon! Eto na oh, eto na! Nasa harapan na niya si Lee Donghae! Ano pa bang hahanapin niya, na kay Donghae na ang lahat oh! Ang kapal naman ng mukha ng babaeng iyon! Tapos, irereject nya lang si Donghae?! HOW DARE SHE!

"That's what they call KHARMA. Good for you Donghae. You also did that to someone anyway. And now, you also got rejected. It's natural." wika ni Frances. Kabaligtaran ng sinabi nya ang inisip nya.

"Aw," wika ng binata. Mukhang tinamaan rin siya sa sinabi ni Frances.

"So, what's your plan?" tanong ng dalaga.

"I want to ask for a second chance...if that would be okay with her," wika ni Donghae.

"Hm? Then ask her."

"I want to ask for a second chance...would it be okay with you?"

Hindi makapaniwala si Frances sa kanyang narinig. Ibig sabihin ba nito, siya ang tinutukoy ni Donghae na babaeng nagugustuhan niya?! Ow may gulay. She can't believe it! Umamin na si Donghae sa nararamdaman niya sa dalaga.

"Hey..." tanong ng binata.

"Huh? Are you talking to me?" sagot ni Frances na nawala sa katinuan kanikanina lang.

"No! I'm talking to the stone! See that stone?! Why is it not talking back?!" wika ni Donghae habang nakatingin sa bato.

"Funny."

"I don't think its funny though. But I think you're thrilled right now." Wika ni Donghae habang ngumingiti ng nakakaloko.

"Whooo! It's already cold but it got more colder. The wind is blowing harder. Is there a typhoon?!"

"Er...I don't know. Is it really colder? Wanna have a hug?"

"Tss. Shut up. You're kidding, right?! Please Donghae, stop fooling around. I really know that no one will replace Jessica in your heart anyway." wika ng dalaga.

"No. That's not true. I don't have any feelings for her anymore."

"Eeeeh? Are you serious? Maybe you're just tired that's why you're saying such nonsense things. Maybe you just want me as a rebound. It would hurt me so much...if that would be the case."

"No. How many times do you have to brought that topic out?! Jessica and I were done, okay?! DONE! There's no more us!" sigaw ng binata. Nagulat si Frances sa inakto nya. Mukhang hindi na sya pwedeng magtaray ngayon dahil puno na si Donghae. Nakakatakot pala sya kapag nagalit.

"A-ah. Sorry."

"No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Tsk."

"Frances..."

"Hm?"

"Frances...I like you. May I court you?"

Gulat na gulat na tumingin ang dalaga kay Donghae. Talaga?! Sure sya? Gusto niya si Frances?

"Seriously?" nagdududang tanong ng ating bida.

"Tsk. Why do you find it hard to believe what I'm saying? I'm getting pissed off..."

"It's because you're always fighting with me! It's not like you, Donghae. I knew you as a different person. Just when did you become a warfreak?!"

"I just became like this because of you! I even didn't imagine that I would fall for you!"

"Psh. So now you're regretting it?!"

"You know what? You're really irritating! You're an annoying girl. Are you even a girl?! All my life I haven't been annoyed with a girl, until I met you!"

"Whatever. If you don't want to be with me then go away! I don't care anyway!" wika ni Frances.

"Com'on. You don't care? According to my instinct, you're madly and deeply head over heels with me! Just admit it! You know what, be thankful that I'm doing the first move. I'm really a gentleman after all."

"Gentleman your face!"

"Don't you think that you're so lucky to have me? Now I'm offering myself to you!"

"So?"

"So I want to court you? Darn it. What now?! Will you let me or will you let me?!"

"Then I would let you! As if the choices were different!"

"Hahahahaha" ang lakas ng itinawa ni Donghae. "You finally gave in. That's good. That's nice. Then this story would have a happy ending. You should enjoy being with me with the last few chapters of this story. It's a great opportunity for you anyway. You're really lucky, you know that?"

"What the. Whoooo! I never thought that Donghae is full of AIR! Is it really you, Donghae?! Oh my! I think I would be carried away with the strong wind that you brought with you! Whoooo!"

"Shut up. I'm only like this to you. I'm shy with the others." wika ni Donghae. Nag-roll eyes na lamang si Frances. Okay. Sya na ang kinikilig. Hahahaha.

Grabe lang. Inumaga na sila sa pagkukwentuhan. Buti naman at mabuti ang panahon. Wala talagang bagyo di tulad ng inaakala ni Frances. At dahil doon, nadetect nina Siwon at Eunhyuk ang dalawa. Sa totoo lang naman ay kakanina lamang sila naghanap nung sumikat na ang araw. Hindi naman kasi sila nag-aalala dahil alam nila na hindi papabayaan ni Donghae si Frances.

"Frances, are you alright?" pambungad ni Siwon kay Frances.

"Ha? Yeah! I'm fine. Hehehe" sagot ng dalaga.

"Hey dude. What happened? Did something happen to the both of you?" wika ni Eunhyuk. Dahil doon ay biglang pinamulahan sina Frances at Donghae. Binatukan nga ito ni Donghae. Napakadumi talaga ng isip nito.

"Shut up." Nasabi na lamang ni Donghae.
