THIRD PERSON'S

"Taray, alone time with crush" Pang-aasar ni Jake at Jay kay Sunghoon nang marinig nilang tumunog ang bell. Agad na hinampas ng notebook ni Sunghoon si Jake.

"Aray ko, Park Sunghoon!" Inis na sigaw niya habang hinahaplos ang parteng natamaan ng notebook ng binata.

"Tigilan mo kase siraulo ka talaga" Natatawang sambit ni Sunghoon sa kanya saka isinukbit ang bag niya siya balikat niya.

"So hindi ka ulit sasabay?" Tanong ni Jake sa kanya. Sunghoon shook his head saka nagpaalam na sa dalawang kasama

"Pasabi kay Heeseung hyung na gagawin lang namin yung format ng newspaper. Wag mong dadagdagan ng issue ha. Pag nalaman ko kay Heeseung hyung na may sinabi kang kagaguhan, lagot ka sakin" Huling sambit ni Sunghoon bago makalabas sila Jay at Jake ng classroom para umuwi.

Sunghoon then walked out of their classroom at saktong nakita niya si Claire na nagla-lock ng classroom door nila kaya agad niyang inayos ang buhok niya saka tumikhim bago kunwaring lumabas ng walang alam para i-lock din ang pinto ng classroom nila.

Sinadya niya pang bahagyang isara ng padabog ang pinto para mapansin siya ng dalaga sa hindi kalayuan.

"Sunghoon!" His lips automatically formed into a curve nang marinig niyang may tumawag sa kanya. Napatingin siya sa gawi ng dalaga to see her smiling at him waving her hands at him.

At this point, napansin niyang unti-unting bumabagal ang galaw ng kapaligiran and what's more weird is that Claire is the only thing he could see. Claire and her precious beautiful smile. At the same time, his heart then again started to pound crazily.

"Sunghoon" Claire called him but then the guy seems to be stucked staring at her at hindi na napansin na nasa harap niya na si Claire.

"Sunghoon? Hey?" She called him again one more time but Sunghoon wasn't still at himself.

"Park Sunghoon!" She called again but this time is more loud while snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"H-huh? Y-yes?" He finally said nang makabalik siya sa sarili niya at nakitang nasa harap niya na pala si Claire.

"Are you okay? Are you sick?" Sunod sunod na tanong nito. His eyes widened nang hawakan nito ang noo nito as he felt an electricity-like feeling running from her hands to his head.

"A-ahh, hindi hahaha. I'm sorry" Sambit nito saka saka dali-daling tumalikod sa dalaga para i-lock ang pinto ng classroom nila.

"By the way, I have a plan for our newspaper already and you can add some ideas if you think that it's not enough" Sunghoon smiled and nodded his head.

Naglakad ang dalawa papunta sa Journalism Room to continue planning their newspaper format and since may mga materials din doon that could help them. 

Sunghoon opened the door for her and Claire  just smiled at him bago pumasok sa silid. Inilapag nilang dalawa ang gamit nila. Claire sat at the edge of the table getting her laptop from her bag and opened the file to show the boy the newspaper format.

"Sunghoon?" The boy looked up to her habang sine-set up ang laptop niya.

"Use my laptop for adjusting the newspaper format. Then I'll use yours para makapili ako ng fonts na pwede nating gamitin"

"Okay. Wait" Sunghoon double checked his laptop, baka kase may makita siya dito like Sunoo. Masyado siyang natrauma dun.

"Here" Sambit ng binata saka inilapit kay Claire ang laptop new, Claire did the same thing to her laptop saka sila nagsimula with their works.

The atmosphere began to become silent and the only things that makes noises were the mouse and keyboard of their laptops. Sunghoon was trying to compose himself at sinusubukang mag-isip ng topic na pwede nilang pag-usapan to lessen the awkwardness between them.

"Sunghoon, sorry for the disturb but I need your opinion" Finally, Sunghoon stood up from his seat saka lumapit kay Claire.

"Ano kayang mas maganda dito sa dalawa?" As she was talking, nakatingin lang siya sa dalaga and began to mumble something under his breath.

"Ikaw" Claire furrowed his eyebrows luckily for him na hindi masyadong narinig ang sinabi ng binata. "Ha?" She asked him dahilan para matauhan si Sunghoon sa kabaliwang ginawa niya.

"I—I mean yung una. Maganda yung una hehe"  

"Oh, okay. Thank you. You can go back" Sunghoon started to mentally cursed himself for being so absentminded as he got back from his seat. Napailing na lamang ito saka muling finocus ang sarili niya sa pag-iisip ng design sa newspaper.

Naisip niyang dagdagan ng borders ang gilid ng newspapers but he doesn't know how to do it. Napakunot na lamang ang noo niya and he also doesn't want to disturb Claire at what she is doing right now.

He continued to look for the borders but yet again, he couldn't find one. Napatingin si Claire sa kanya nang mapansin niyang panay ang buntong-hininga nito. The girl couldn't help but to laugh at him.

"Is there any problem?" Tanong nito.

"I—I'm okay. G-gusto ko lang sanang dagdagan ng border 'tong format kaso hindi ko alam kung saan eh hehe" Napatawa muli si Claire sa binata habang napakamot na lang ng batok ang binata sa hiya.

Claire stood from her seat saka pumwesto sa likod ni Sunghoon bending her body since medyo mababa ang table nila. Pumantay ang mukha nilang dalawa and thankfully that Claire can see it clearly.

"You'll just click the insert button. Tapos yung shapes then rectangle. Ikaw na mag-customize kung gaano kakapal" Sunghoon then nodded and smiled saka tumingin sa gawi ni Claire to thank her sana.

Sunghoon widened his eyes nang marealize niyang ilang metro na lang ang layo ng mukha niya sa pisngi ni Claire. She was too close to the point that he couldn't almost breath properly.

Claire then looked at him as her smile faded away nang makita niya kung gaano kalapit ang mukha nilang dalawa. Both of their chests were pounding crazily for each other.

Pabalik-balik ang tingin ng binata sa mga mata ni Claire only to found out today that her eyes were also beautiful as her. How dreamy if ever you stare at her eyes.

Is it only crush?

"Pres, may— Oh.." Sabay silang napatingin sa pinto nang narinig nila iyong bumukas.

Dali-daling lumayo ang dalawa sa isa't isa gasping for more air. Hyunjin immediately laughed at the both of them.

"Sorry, may nasira ba akong moment. May kukunin lang sana ako" Natatawang pang-asar niya sa dalawa.

"H-ha? Wala hahaha. Sige, kunin mo na" Sambit ni Claire saka bumalik sa pwesto niya kanina.

"Okay na pres, tuloy niyo na yung ginagawa niyo pfft" Hyunjin playfully teased them saka lumabas muli ng Journalism Room.

"Hwang Hyunjin, humanda ka sakin!" Sigaw ni Claire that made Sunghoon laughed at himself.

That was close
