CHAPTER 40

Chapter 40 |  Heal  |

I expected Yijin to not come with me. He's not the type to be with a girl alone on a close door. He follows the standard and he is a true gentleman. But I guess, he saw the concern in my eyes and realized that we're not going to do something. . . weird?

Muntik ko nang ibangga ang ulo ko sa pader sa iniisip.

"Ah, dito na lang ako sa sala mo," ani Yijin habang tinuturo ang couch ko. He's slightly scanning my place with his eyes.

I sighed and glance at him awkwardly,  madali rin akong nag-iwas ng tingin. I don't know but seems like my cheeks is burning by the thought that he's inside my unit.

"Ah, upo ka. Like I said, may extra room dito, room ng pinsan ko dati. . .  you can use that, he's not staying here anymore so. . . the room is empty." Pakiramdam ko lalabas na ang puso ko dahil sa kaba.

Yijin nodded and sat on my couch. "Okay, but if ever the rain stop, I'll go home." Medyo nagulat ako sa sinabi niya pero agarin din akong tumango.

Late na pero, "Sige. Ah, what do you want? Water, juice, chocolate drink?" Kumunot ang noo ko sa huling sinabi, chocolate drink is my favorite but it seemed childish to offer. Saka isa pa gabi na, masakit sa lalamunan iyon.

I slightly angled my face, ano ba 'tong mga iniisip ko? Nako-concious ako bigla sa maraming bagay. I looked around my unit to see if it's clean, mabuti na lang at nakapaglinis ako kahapon.

"Just nothing, I'm fine." I nodded at him and then silence filled us, I realized that I'm standing too long in my position. I sighed.

"Maiwan na muna kita, I'll just go to my room." Tinuro ko ang kwarto ko na para bang kailangan talaga iyon, Yijin just nodded at me.

Nang makapasok sa kwarto ay roon lang ako nakahinga nang maluwag. I want to get mad for myself because I'm making things awkward because of my own thoughts. Nakakaloka!

I paced back and forth trying to calm myself. I breathed in and out, my nerve is really wrecking right now. "Come on Chantal, just act casually. This is an emergency situation so don't think anything."

Nagpalit ako ng pastel violet pajama at puting loosed t-shirt, just my usual outfit at home. Nilugay ko rin ang buhok dahil buong maghapon ng nakatali iyon.

I checked my face in the mirror and wore my reading glasses. My hair has a lot of volume dahil sa pagkakatali, I decided to do a half ponytail so I can hide the curled parts. Nang makontinto sa itsura ko ay agad na 'kong lumabas.

Yijin seemed oblivious, agad na tumama ang tingin niya sa 'kin. He scanned me for a bit before toring his eyes off of me, I don't know but I saw redness on his ear down to his neck.

"Hindi pa tumitila ang ulan," aniya.  I worriedly sighed and nodded.

"May orange rainfall dahil sa low pressure area. Baha na rin ang mga kalsada and I think, it's better for you to stay here." Bumaba ang tingin ko sa suot niya. Right, I almost forgot. "Nandoon nga pala ang kwarto ni Zion," dadag ko sabay turo sa kwarto ng pinsan ko.

"You lived with him before?" he asked with caution.

"Y-yeah, when I was in first and second year. Bumalik din siya sa dorm nila after."

"Good to know that you are accompanied by someone before." Tumango ako, I again motioned Zion's room.

"Baka gusto mo nang magpahinga? You can go to his room na, and. . . I can lend you some clothes. M-may mga damit na naiwan si Zion, pwede mong hiramin." He stared at me longer.

"It's fine," aniya sabay pasada sa kanyang suot. "I can bare with this—"

"No, I insist. It's uncomfortable if you sleep with that," ani ko na ang tinutukoy ay ang suot niya. He sighed, accepting the fact that I will really insist.
