“Do you know that Yijin had a crush on you?” Literal na natigilan ako sa sinabi ni Chloe. I was dumfounded for a second. Eh, namali ba ‘ko nang rinig? Did I heard it right?

“Yijin, had a crush on me?” I repeated what she just said. Confirming if I heard it right.

“Totoo!” ani Chloe.

“Woah! For real? How come?” Seri’s eyes widened. Halata sa expression niya na hindi siya makapaniwala.

“Ha! Hahaha!” I sarcastically laugh. Jino-joke time lang yata ako ni Chloe.

“Totoo nga! I heard Rio, Klint, and Yijin himself talking about it.”

“Ano’ng narinig mo?” Lumapit pa talaga si Seri kay Chloe para lang mang-intriga. It’s a tea for her, at ang babaeng ‘to hindi papayag na hindi updated sa chismis.

“Well, sa simbahan ko ‘yon narinig. I’m about to enter a room nang marinig ko silang nag-aasaran tungkol sa mga crushes nila.”

“And then?” Seri said. She’s very attentive habang ako naman ay hindi alam ang ere-react.

“At first, they are talking about Rio’s crush na schoolmate natin. Yijin is teasing him kaya ibinalik ni Rio ang pang-aasar kay Yijin.”

“Kailan mo narinig ‘yan?” I asked.

Nag-isip naman nang malalim si Chloe, “Three months ago yata? Nakalimutan ko lang e-kwento.”

Three months ago? That time, hindi pa kami close noon. And I was busy having butterflies with Cruzel.

“Continue, what did Rio said to Yijin?” ani Seri.

Ngumisi naman si Chloe, “The exact line Rio said was. . .” Umayos siya nang upo, humahanda na gayahin ang boses ni Rio. “Shut up Yijin, kapag may nakaalam na crush ko si Meritt, ibubulgar ko talaga na dati mong crush si, Chantal!”

“Oh, my gosh!” irit ni Seri. “What did Yijin replied? Come on!” Hinawakan na niya ang braso ni Chloe para pigain ito na magkwento pa.

Nagmaang-maangan naman ako, I gave them a plain reaction because I don’t really know how to react on this.

Nagkibit ng balikat si Chloe sabay nguso, “Wala naman siyang naging reaction. He just said, hmm? Sabay tipid na ngiti.” I imagine Yijin doing what Chloe said. ‘Yung ngumiti nang tipid.

“Oh, my gosh! I can’t believe this, bakit ngayon mo lang ‘to kweninto?” kinikilig na ani Seri. “Woah! Hindi ko alam na marunong din pala magkagusto si, Yijin! Ang tahimik niyang tao pero secretly. . . may crush pala siya kay Chantal.” Napatingin sa ‘kin si Seri, ang mga mata niya ay puno na nang pang-aasar.

“What?” Nagkibit ako ng balikat, sobrang malisyosa nang titig niya sa ‘kin. Pareho sila ni Chloe. “D-dating crush, dati pa raw.” I was urged to speak dahil sa mga titig nila.

“But that’s Yijin Lorenzo! My gosh Chantal, this is a big scoop! May crush sa ‘yo ang isang Yijin Lorenzo!” she said hysterically.

“Hindi naman siguro totoo, baka inasar lang siya ni Rio that time,” I denied.

“Then why would Rio mention your name?” ani Chloe. “Pwede namang ibang girls so, bakit ikaw talaga?”

“Tama na nga ‘yan!” naiilang kong ani.

Pag-uwi sa bahay ay agad akong dumeritso sa kwarto. Pabagsak ko na lang na naihiga ang sarili habang may malalim na iniisip.

Yijin Lorenzo had a crush on me!
