Not Young

Great Pretender

SUZY'S P.O.V:

"...I don't know why I feel bad. Niga mwonde! (I don’t know why I feel bad, what are you?)", I was singing G-Dragon's Who You while arranging my study table.  It was a mess and I couldn't even use it.

"Suzy! Ano'ng problema mo?", kumakatok si Kiseop. Aish! This monkey! Basag trip na naman 'to! He always does that.  Kakatukin ako tuwing nagko-concert ako.  Bad behavior.  Very bad!

"Mind your own business, monkey!", I yelled.

"Nakakaistorbo ka kaya!", he yelled back.

I opened my door. "What do you want?"

"Well...", he entered my room. "Nothing." He threw himself on my bed.

"Hey! That's my bed!", I was trying to pull him out of my bed but he wouldn't budge. 

"I know. Hindi ko naman inaangkin.", he chuckled and shoved my hands off. "Nakikihiga lang naman eh."

"You have your own bed."

"Yeah. But...", he sat up and sighed. "I'm bored." He pouted. "Tara!", he smiled, grabbed my hand and pulled me, which made me fall on the bed. He laid down beside me. "So...tell me, how are you?"

I glanced at him. "I'm fine.", I smiled.

"Kayo ni Seok Jin?", he stared at me.

"Huh?", I gulped and looked away. "We're pretty fine. We're happy."

"Really? Good then."

"Bakit mo natanong?", napatingin ulit ako sa kanya.

"Nothing."

Natahimik kami bigla. We're just staring at the ceiling. No awkward feeling. I like it. Being beside him. It makes me feel comfortable. I wish we can always be like this.

"Suzy.", he called.

"Hmm?"

"I hope you're really happy with him." He said then sighed. "I...I..."

I looked at him. "What?",, I widened my eyes, waiting for him to continue.

He held my hand tight, "I wish you know how I feel.", he muttered. I was just staring at him. Come on, Kiseop. Tell me. "Suzy, I...I... I l---"

"Suzy!", kuya knocked.

I quickly stood up. "Why?"

"Ano'ng gusto mong dinner?", he yelled.

Seriously? Kuya naman eh! You ruined our moment para lang itanong sa'kin 'yan? Pa'no kung magko-confess na pala si Kiseop sa'kin?

What? You're kidding, right? What makes you think na magko-confess s'ya sa'yo? Assuming huh.

And ladies and gentlemen,  let's welcome back this little minion who resides inside my head. 

But the minion's right.  Hindi naman nga siguro 'yon gagawin ni Kiseop.  Maybe I'm just assuming things.  But still,  I can't help but hope that maybe he likes me too.
