Chapter 18 - Like a fool

"It's cold." Ulit niya at niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit. Then, i just found myself hugging him back. My heart is fluttering like crazy and i felt like i'm going to melt from his burning warmth. Napakainit parin ng katawan niya at naririnig ko ang bawat paghinga niya sabay ang maingay na kabog ng puso ko.

"Are you sure that you don't want to go to the hospital? I think you're too hot." nag-aalalang sabi ko sa kanya.

"Hushh... I told you its fine. I'm just feeling cold." He whispered.

"But you're burning." Protesta ko naman.

"Why did you just listen to the words I've told you that day in the hospital? You didn't even defend yourself nor even said a word." He whispered again while his eyes were closed. But is that the issue now? Bakit ba nagsasalita pa siya?

"It's because you were right. I deserve those words." Tanging sagot ko sa kanya.

"Babo.. I said those words to you but they're not actually for you. It's for me myself. I can read that kid like a book and i caught him reading my messages on my phone so I know that he's planning something. I know about it but I did not stop him until he ended up hurting himself. That's why I'm so angry." Paliwanag niya. I don't understand why is he saying those word now. But, huh? He knows about our plans back then? Seryoso ba siya?

"So, alam mong sinusundan ka namin?"

"Yeah.. But I didn't know that both of you will follow me in Lapresa." But thinking about it, nasan nga ba si Jiyeon. Hindi ba dapat nandito siya ngayon?

"Where is Jiyeon, she should be the one with you now and not me." I softly said to him.

"I'm sleepy." Tanging sagot niya at hindi na rin ako nagsalita pa.

But after a while he talked again.

"I'm sorry."

Agad naman niyang sabi na ikinagulat ko. Magsasalita pa sana ako nang what? He's already asleep? For what is that sorry?

As i watch his handsome sleeping face, i can't help but ask him "Can't it be me? Can't you be just mine? I'm so hopeless you little vampire."

....

Pagmulat nang mga mata ko ay napabalikwas ako agad. At pagtingin ko sa tabi ko ay wala na siya. Then, I began to realize the things happened last night. And what?? Is this real? I just told him that I will get over him the other day, but now we even slept together? Gosh what should I do now?

Bumangon na ako agad at dahan dahan kong binuksan ang pinto. Pagsilip ko sa sala ay hindi ko siya nakita kaya mabilis akong lumabas at tumakbo ako patungo sa main door nang.... Bigla siyang lumabas sa bathroom at humarang sa dadaanan ko. Ang malas ko naman.

"You're going to escape again? Geezz. Why do you love running away so much?" Matamlay pero nang-aasar na namang sabi niya. But wait, did he just washed his face? Agad agad? Magaling na ba ang bampirang to? Hindi ko alam kong anong force ang nagtulak sa akin at bigla ko siyang nilapitan sabay hawak sa forehead niya.

"What? Medyo mainit ka pa ah." Sabi ko when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and put it down as he averts his eyes from me. Huh? Bakit parang namula siya ng konti. Dahil ba sa fever niya?

"It'll just get worse if I go back to bed again. Mawawala rin to sooner pag uminom ulit ako ng gamot. So stop worrying, you're acting like my mom now." Sabi niya at dumiretso siya sa sofa. Wow, I can't believe it. Is this the guy whom I talked last night?

"Anong, tinatayo mo jan. I'm hungry and I need to drink my medicine now kaya kumilos ka na jan at ipagluto ako." Dagdag pa niya. Whoah. Did he just ordered me? What's wrong with him? Wala naman akong utang sa kanya ah. Ah, meron nga pala. When i got sick pinakain nga pala niya ako. And sabihin nalang natin na ginagawa ko rin to para kay Hyunwoo.

Ano nga bang klaseng relationship meron kami ng bampirang to? Give and take, then take and give back?

.....

Pagkatapus naming kumain ay nagligpit muna ako.

Naupo ako ng bahagya sa mesa habang tinatanggal ko ang apron ko nang nagsalita ang bampira sa likud ko.

"So? How's your journey of forgeting everything about me?" He said while grinning like devil. Nainis ako bigla as i felt embarassed by the words he said kaya bigla nalang ako napatayo at mabilis na nagtungo sa door.

"Hey."

"Jin you idiot!" Biglang sigaw ko bago ko isara ang pinto niya.

Grabe nakakainis na siya!

....

I still have time to go to school kaya pumasok parin ako.

I can't help day dreaming again nang nasa school ako. Hindi pa ako nakaka get over sa kiss na yon and now, the fact that I'm hugging him while sleeping last night seems more than enough to make my heart go crazy. I keep on thinking about it and my heart is again making sweet disturbance inside me.

I was waiting again for a taxi after class while watching the rain. And then, I can't stop smiling like a fool.

And I don't think I still have the guts to get over him now? Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang susunod na mangyayari. I don't know what to do anymore.
