c. twenty six

[ third person ]

kasalukuyang nasa living room sila ysha kasama ang manager niya, nanay niya at ang seventeen. pinaguusapan nila ngayon ang bullying issue kuno na patungkol sa kaniya.

ysha, who was sitting between her manager and her mom, pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance. since when did i bully someone? she thought. kahit nung nasa kabilang mundo pa siya, galit na galit siya sa mga taong nananakit at nananamantala ng kapwa. lalo na kung kadugo pa nila.

"this statement came from an anonymous account on twitter and it was posted 20 hours ago. meaning, around 3 or 4am kaninang madaling araw. but this account is suspicious, tho. wala gaanong ibang tweets," manager shin spoke and gave ysha a copy of a screencapped tweet along with the comments of other people.

"their tweet gathered likes and reposts in less than 5 hours. some people claimed it wasn't true and that their goal was to ruin you. your fans also said that since they had known you for years, you would never dare harm other people. however, others took it seriously and starts throwing you their hates. and then the tweet just went viral," patuloy na paliwanag ng manager niya. napasabunot na lang siya ng buhok sa inis.

"kakasabi ko lang kanina kay seungcheol na 'wag maging bobo, pero may mas malala pa pala sa kaniya," mahina nitong turan at napabuga ng hangin.

"yah, sorry na nga eh. nadala lang ako ng emosyon ko," hingi ulit na paumanhin ni cheol habang kinakamot ang batok niya.

"nye nye, 'wag mo nga akong kakausapin. naiinis pa rin ako sa'yo. ang bobo mo, nakakairita." she hissed and rolled her eyes at him. hindi naman alam ng mga kasama nila kung ano ang gagawin dahil simula't sapul na makilala nila si ysha, ngayon lang siya nagpakita ng kakaibang ugali.

she's.. wild..? some of the members thought. but along with their confused mind, there's three people na hindi na nagulat sa inasta niya. si wonwoo na tahimik lang at nakaupo habang pinagmamasdan ang kasintahan, si joshua na nakatayo sa gilid ng sofa na tila malalim ang iniisip at ang huli ay isang taong nakatuon lang ang pansin kay ysha.

"this happened yesterday at the mall. i was washing my hands in a restaurant's comfort room when a person entered. realizing it was that choi ysha, i became nervous. i was a fan. i was contemplating whether to talk to her or just go home but then, i decided to walk towards her and asked for her sign. but unexpectedly, she ignored me and pushed me aside and went to the sink to wash her hands. i was startled that time. i thought she's an angel but now i experienced this, she's no angel but a devil in disguised." basa ni ysha sa nakasulat sa papel. agad na napataas ang kilay niya. yesterday? mall? restaurant's comfort room?

"this is somewhat.. true," tila naguluhan sila sa sinabi ng dalaga.

"what do you mean? akala ko ba hindi totoong nambully ka? pero bakit ka sumang-ayon?" she glared at the person who speak, which is si jeonghan.

"h'wag ka ngang gumaya sa kabobohan ng jowa mo, yoon jeonghan." inis na saad ni ysha at kinamot ang leeg.

"y-yah!" awang ang bibig nito na tinignan ang dalaga. hindi na lang siya nagsalita pa at tumahimik na lang sa tabi ni seungcheol. dahil baka pag nagsalita pa siya, pati siya ay pagbuntunan ng inis nito. ngayon pa lang kasi nila nakita na ganito ang ugali ng anghel nila. naninibago pa sila.

"ang sabi ko, somewhat, hindi lahat. what i meant by that ay 'yung sinabi niyang nangyari 'yon sa mall kahapon and sa mismong comfort room ng isang resto," paliwanag niya at hinagis ang papel sa center table.

"and when they said na they're a fan, nilapitan niya raw ako para humingi ng pirma? na hindi ko siya pinansin at tsaka ko siya tinulak?" natatawang saad ng dalaga at humalakhak. nagtinginan naman ang mga kasama niya at naguguluhan. anong nakakatawa? they thought.
