I'll Live With You #1: MICHAENG part 9

~

A week later after the kitchen scene, they didn't talk. Not a slightest conversation happened. Why? Because Chaeyoung regrets what he said.

Chae: Bro, napaka lame ng sinabi ko diba?
Jeong: Okay lang yun. You just spoke your mind.
Chae: Yun na nga e...pakiramdam ko nasaktan ko pa siya.
Jeong: Nah, kailangan niyang natuto. Siya ang nakikitira, hindi ikaw. You have the control.

Napatango siya sa sinabi ng kapatid. Bigla siyang tiningnan ng kapatid at kumunot ang noo nito nang may naalala.

Jeong: Teka?

Chae: Bakit?

Jeong: Akala ko ba nakamove on ka na???

Chae: Kala ko din e.

They sighed in chorus. First love never really dies.

Chae: After I saw her again, I just can't take my eyes of her. Pakiramdam ko, umiikot na namana ang mundo ko sa kanya...at natatakot ako...natatakot ako na baka maulit ulit ang nangyari dati. Baka mas lalong hindi ko kayanin kapag may nangyari ulit na masama sa kanya.

Tinapik ni Jeongyeon ang balikat niya at ngumiti na lang siya rito.

Jeong: Do you really love her?

Chae: Yes

Jeong: Can't you stop yourself from loving her?

Chae: I-I...d-don't know..

Jeong: Kung ayaw mong masaktan, pigilan mo ang sarili mong ma-attach ulit sa kanya. Hindi mo alam kung hanggang kailan siya nandyan sa buhay mo.

Chae: Kaya ko kaya?

Jeong: Determination is the key. Kung gusto mong gawin, magagawa mo. Maraming paraan. 

Chae: Hindi ko alam....I'm confused...paano ko mapipigilan ang sarili ko kung araw araw ko siyang nakikita?

Jeong: Then stay at your clinic. Bago siya gumising sa umaga, at kapag tulog na siya sa gabi.

Chae: Bro, pupunta lang ako sa clinic kapag kailangan ako. Ano namang gagawin ko dun?

Jeong: Hay bahala ka. Binibigyan na nga kita ng option e.

Chae: Seriously bro? 

Nagkibit balikat lang si Jeongyeon at tumayo. 

Jeong: You better get a hold of yourself when trying to stop getting attached to her. She became more beautiful than before. Good luck.

Chayoung left stunned at a moment. The way Jeongyeon compliment Mina's beauty irritate him. Chaeyoung, kumalma ka....kapatid mo siya...there's no way he'll get Mina away from you...

After Jeongyeon left, Chaeyoung felt his phone's vibration. His assistant, Somi is calling. 

Chae: Yes?

Somi: Doc, may pasyente.

Chae: Alright. I'm coming. Let them sign into the logbook and wait for me.

Binaba niya nag tawag at nagbihis. His veterinary clinic is a mile away from the condominium. Nilalakad niya lang ito dahil mas mabilis siyang makakarating kaysa magcommute. After 15 minutes, he reached the clinic and saw his poodle patient. 

Somi: Doc!

Chae: Nakapagsign na ba?

Somi: Opo.

Chae: Okay, let's see..

He examined the dog and talked to its guardian. Meanwhile, Mina just finished her first class of the day. Magkakasama sila nina Momo at Sana sa isang kainan at masayang nagkukwentuhan. They cheered Sana up because of a heart break. Kahit naninikip rin ang puso ni Mina ay hindi niya pinansin.
