"winter kim, did i or did i not tell you not to get wasted?"

 

my jaw dropped when i heard my yooji's voice

 

"yui, i think im drunk as heck na. im ha'cinating alrea'y, le's go back na sa resort or my yooj will kill me," im sure i slurred pero i hope she got what i said

 

jinni laughed loudly kaya naman my eyebrows creased, what's wrong with her?

 

"yui, im serious kasi! ill call my yooji pa. cant pass out," reklamo ko

 

"i appreciate the thought baby, i really do but you're not wrong when you said na ill kill you."

 

i froze

 

i just...

 

i stopped functioning

 

it's cold out here since im wearing a black thin dress pero im sweating

 

i might get arrhythmia rin due to my irregular heartbeat

 

i tried to gain the confidence para ibalik ang tingin ko sa harap

 

and

 

tears fell down my face and wala na along pake if real ba siya or not

 

inalis ko ang akbay ko kay jinni at dali daling yumakap kay yooji

 

i felt relieved nang may nayakap talaga ako

 

"l-love, you're here."

 

i didn't question her existence anymore

 

i buried my face sa shoulder niya and cried

 

wala na akong pake if nasa public place kami

 

she patted my back before hugging me tight

 

"i, i missed you," i was having a hard time speaking but i know she understands. "i love you, i miss you," lalo ko pa hinigpitan ang yakap ko

 

"there, there," she carressed the back of my head. "i love you too, i missed you so much that i went here tapos patay ka pa na maaabutan ko," soft niya na sabi pero parang medyo scary or lasing lang ako

 

"forgive me, im sober na love," umalis ako saglit sa yakap at tinry na tingnan ng maigi si yooji para improve na okay na ako kahit nahihilo talaga ako

 

"we both know you're not yet sober baby," hindi ko maipinta ang mukha ni yooji ko, medyo dalawa na kasi siya sa paningin ko but still gorgeous pa rin. "thanks love, i know im gorgeous but you're not getting away with this," oh, so i said it out loud

umiling iling nalang si yooji ko pero i swear na she's somewhat smiling

 

she kissed my forehead, "thank you for taking care of win, jinni."

 

that was the last thing na narinig ko before

 

 

", NING! I SAW YOO," napatigil ako when i felt a sharp pain sa head ko dahil sa bigla kong pag upo

 

"are you okay? does your head hurt?"

 

"yooji," bulong ko. "i think im still drunk," no way that she's here kaya humiga ulit ako at pumikit

 

"oh, . i haven't texted her yet," bigla ulit ako napabangon at napatingin sa bedside table if andoon ang phone ko

 

"preee, shhhh, antok pa ako," rinig kong reklamo ni ryu

 

"sorry," naramdaman kong nag-vibrate phone ko sa may hita ko banda kaya naman kinuha ko agad ito.

 

she's calling

 

 

huminga ako ng malalim bago ito sagutin

 

"what the--," familiar yung background ni yooji, yun talaga una ko napansin kahit na ang sama na ng timpla ng mukha niya

 

napaangat ako ng tingin and "what the heck," bulong ko

 

"i know, winter kim. what the heck," taas kilay nitong sabi

 

huhu, rold

save me

 

"love," paglalambing ko sabay open ng arms ko para hug niya ako

 

she crossed her arms at nakipagtitigan lang sa akin

 

"my head hurts love, hug," i admit na ang pabebe ko

 

she released a deep sigh before crawling sa bed to hug me

 

inihiga ko kaming dalawaa kaya dagan niya ako

 

agad naman niyang iniangat ang sarili pero hinigpitan ko ang yakap ko sa kanya kaya wala siya choice kundi ma-fall ulit sakin

 

"im not dreaming."

 

"you're not, love," iniangat niya ang ulo niya at ipinatong ang siko sa kama para suportahan ang sarili niya. "i really am here, and be glad that i didn't caught you looking at somebody else."

 

"theyre not you kasi love," i gave her a quick kiss at hindi ko naman mapigilan ngumiti

 

"please, it's too early for your momol and hindi lang kayo ang nasa room," napalingon ako sa gulat

 

pati ata yung nasa kabilang kama ko na tropa eh hindi makapaniwala dahil nakita ko siyang bigla napaupo

 

bangag pa rin nga siya kasi nagbalik balik tingin niya sa amin ni yooji at sa babaeng nasa paanan ng kama niya

 

"solid pala kayo pumunta rito, love," medyo natatawa kong sabi

 

"they dragged me here lang," yeji, tunog in denial

 

"sure, yej," sabi ni yooji ko with a smirk

 

mukhang bothered si yeji pala sa crush thingy nung nakaraan

 

humiga na ng maayos sa tabi ko si yooji pero nakayakap pa rin sakin

 

"we cooked soup for you guys para sa hangover niyo, bangon ka na kaya love?" napangiti ako sa sinabi ni yooji

 

"okay po," sagot ko pero wala sa main na gumalaw

 

"bumangon ka na, you've been asleep for eleven hours already," rinig ko naman na sabi ni yeji kay ryu

 

parang tuta naman ang tropa ko na bumangon, fallen comrade

 

ay, hindi naman pala ganon kawawa. inabutan ni yeji ng water

 

"ikaw na rin love, i know you're still feeling tired pero need mo na kumain"

 

i smirked when i faced yooji again, "ayaw mo kaya ako bitawan, love?"

 

akala niya ba hindi ko pansin na pinapabangon niya ako pero kung makayakap sakin, wagas

 

pilyang ngumiti lang ang bebe ko at kiniss ako sa lips

 

hehe, what a great day to be alive
