Since that night, my life turned into a complete fairy tale. I'm so happy, about everything. With him by my side, I am drowned in love. We spent a day with joy until that day came at last. That day I've been waiting. The day where our show finally ends.
And it's now time for Miss Eunji to go. Ihinatid namin siya hanggang sa airport sa Manila. We decided to sleep in a hotel dahil sa umaga pa ang flight niya. The three of us stayed in one room kasi malaki naman siya. The room has two beds kaya as usual Miss Eunji and I slept together.
"Can I ask you something?" mahinang sabi ko sa kanya nang nakahiga na kami. Siguro naman tulog na si Jin.
"Sure, my dear. It's very rare for you to ask so before I go, you should ask me everything now." Sagot naman niya agad.
"The first time I met you, why did you lie to Jin? You told him that I said I'm his girlfriend when I didn't even said it." Pagkasabi ko sa mga salitang yun ay tumawa siya ng mahina.
"I don't know. I don't know why I even said those."
"Eh? Are you serious?" gulat na sabi ko. What did she mean na hindi niya alam?
"Geurae. Nan jeongmal molla. I just said those. Maybe because I felt that you really like him. And I think it's because I really liked you for Jin. Whatever the reason, that time even if Jin said that you're not his girlfriend I knew right away that she likes you too." Salita niya.
"Huh? How could you say so?"gulat kong tanong sa kanya.
"It's simple my dear. Aside from Jiyeon and his mom, Jin won't let any other girl to enter his room. So, the moment I found you in there I already knew that somewhere in his heart, he unconciously liked you."
This is really something very hard to believe, right? The thought that Jin likes me too never even appear in my mind. But now, it seems like this is still too good to be true. After all, love is indeed as wonderful as a rainbow. It's as mysterious as the sky. If love is an equation, it would be the most complicated one.
Because love is more than what you can define.
....
We're now here, waving our hands to her. It's painful to see her go. But I'm happy for the days we spent together. I am glad enough that I met someone like her. Her memories will surely stay with me. Someday, I want to see her again. I want to see her to be fully recovered from her illness.
After that, I grabbed Jin's hand and we went in that place I love when I'm still living here in Manila. Sa isang mataas at tahimik na lugar. It's not the most beautiful place here but the sky is clearly seen and it's so peaceful.
Pagdating namin sa lugar agad kaming nagtungo sa ilalim ng isang malaking puno. We both laid in the grass and watched the sky silently.
"This is embarrassing." Basag niya sa katahimikan.
"Huh?" napaupo ako sa sinabi niya.
"I'm planning to go in a formal date with you right after we go back, but you moved faster than me. I even planned to surprise you in our first date, you ruined my plan." Tamlay na sabi niya.
"Eh???? But... This isn't a date." Sabi ko sa kanya.
"Then, what do you call this? Whether you like it or not, this is our first date." Tugon niya while looking like he lost an important match.
"Huh???"
"But it's great. Our first date may not be that romantic, but it's just like you. Simply relaxing. I'm actually having a hard time thinking about what I would do but now I think that a date like those is nothing compared to our date right now."
"After all, a date under the shadow of a tree while lying on the grass and peacefully watching the sky is indeed the most romantic one."
Napangiti nalang ako sa mga sinabi niya at hihiga na sana ako when he spread his arm. So humiga ako at ipinatung ko ang ulo ko sa braso niya. It is great. While we both look up the sky, the wind began to blow and some of the leaves of the tree is falling at us. If only this tree is a cherry blossom, it could even be much more romantic right?
We stayed like that nang may dumapong maliit na ibon sa sanga ng puno.
"Jin? Are you really planning to watch over that bird?" Pilyong tanong ko.
"Wae? Anything wrong about watching it?"
"Maya mayalang ta tae yan at kapag nangyari yun diretso siya sa forehead mo." Natatawang sabi ko.
"What!?" gulat na sabi niya at napatingin siya sa akin. Again, kung ano anong kalukuhan na naman ang naisip ko.
"Ahh..look Jin! Ayan na ang tae!!" biglang sigaw ko sa kanya. Dahil sa nakahiga ako sa braso niya ay hindi siya pwedeng bumangon agad. Then he began to open his eyes wide. Takot ba siya sa tae? Haha. Nakakatuwa naman ang itsura niya. Pero parang desidido siyang iwasan ang tae. So instead na tatayo siya, he lifted his body habang yung kanang braso niya ay nasa ilalim parin ng ulo ko. Then he moved towards me. And... he's now... he's now on top of me?
I was shocked habang siya naman ay nakatingin sa hinigaan niya. Hinihintay ba niyang may mahulog na tae? Hindi ba niya alam kung ano na ang nararamdaman ko ngayon?
Nakatulala parin ako sa kanya while my heart is starting to go crazy. Then he turned his gaze at me.
"You're making fun of me again, don't you?" sabi niya while he didn't move at all. Natauhan naman ako agad.
"Huh? No... I'm ... not." Utal kong sabi sa kanya. Nagdahilan ako ng kong ano-ano but he just gazed at me. And his gaze began to turn my heart into a noisy drum. Then, he began to move his face closer to mine. Napasinghap ako as I hold my breath.
And then, he .. ki... kissed me...
That moment, it felt like the cherry blossoms began to fall over us. I think. I am back to fairy land again where everything is nothing but magic. And then I felt like the grass began to lift us up in the clouds. The touch of his soft lips is enough to paralyze my nerves. And if that kiss is some kind of chocolate cake, it would be the sweetest ever one in the whole universe.
This moment is just so wonderful that I wished that time will stay still.
....
It's dark already and parang palakas ng palakas ang ulan habang papalapit kami sa Baguio. Nakapatay din ang ilang ilaw ng bus kaya medyo madilim. And i just woke up. I'm sleeping on his shoulder for hours huh.. how sweet. He is still sleeping while i am eating a chocolate. I gazed at him and my eyes were glued into his redish soft sexy lips.
Unconsciously, i touched it when he opened his eyes and i was shocked. Nagblush na naman ako at "like chocolate?"palusot ko sa kanya when he just stared at me.
"Yeah, i want to taste it." Sabi niya kaya akma kong iabot ang chocolate when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him. And then he kissed me. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil may chocolate pa sa bibig ko.
"Let me taste it." Sabi niya then he kissed me again. And before i know it, his tongue is inside my mouth?? Nanlaki ang mata ko at nagulat sa ginawa niya. Did...did he just get the chocolate in my mouth?
"Hmm..matamis nga." Sabi niya as he ate the chocolate that he...he...get from my mouth... and i'm still in dazed and looking at him when hr kissed me again...but this time, it's gentle. So gentle and warm.
My god. I think i'm about to faint.
....
"I... wish our first kiss would be one like that." Sabi ko sa kanya.
"What do you mean?"
"The first time you kissed me seems like you're just fooling with me. You even said that it was your gift to me to forgetting you. It may not be a big deal to you but that's my first kiss." I pouted at him.
"That was not our first kiss." Sabi niya as he covers his mouth and shyly averted his eyes. Napabalikwas ako agad sa narinig ko.
"Eh?!!"
"I kissed you once before that."
"When??"
"I'll tell you later. When we get there. Malapit na tayo."
"Huh? Hey.."
I really want to know when did he kissed me. Kailan kaya? Ibig sabihin matagal narin niya akong gusto? Gusto ko talagang malaman pero nagpanggap na siyang tulog . So, I just laid at his shoulder again. And I can now hear his heartbeats, and I can feel his warmth. After all, I really love this vampire. He is my first love. The person who changed my boring life and moved my heart.
