so i accidentally deleted this chapter, i just published it back.
PRESENT
"Naririnig ko sinasabi mo na ex mo daw ako?" Humingang sobrang lalim si Wonwoo, inulit niya ito ng ilang beses at sinagot si Mingyu.
"Bakit? Ano bang problema dun?" You'll deny me again.
"Huwag mo na balikan 'yon, bata pa tayo no'n."
"Denying me again? Hindi ka pa ba nakokonsensya? Why can't you just accept the fact that something called us happened three years ago?" Wonwoo retorted back. He said it calmly, but the veins in his neck started to bulge. He's trying not to burst in rage.
"Pero bakit? Walang seryosohan 'yon."
Wonwoo can't take it anymore. He started to tremble, "Anong bakit? Walang seryosohan? Tangina mo ba? Muntik na ako mamatay dahil sayo!" Wonwoo shouted, emphasizing every damn word he said.
"Ako pa talaga? Sino bang naglagay sayo sa ganyang kalagayan? Ikaw pa rin diba?"
Wonwoo stood up and frustratedly pulled his hair. He clenched his teeth, his face becoming rigid. He walked back and forth, trying to calm himself.
Mingyu's words echoed insided his head. Every word pierced him, every syllables irritated him, every meaning behind those words stressed him out.
Hindi na niya kaya pang kumalma, he started to grab things and threw it everywhere around his room. Nagdabog siya nang nagdabog hanggang sa nakarinig siya ng katok sa pinto niya.
"Kuya! Anong nangyayari?! Buksan mo yung pinto!" She knocked and knocked but Wonwoo pretended not to hear her.
He helplessly kneeled on the floor. His tears started to cloud his vision, his head started to ache, his heart started hammering inside his rib cage, "Gago ka pa rin! L-Lahat nalang saakin mo sinisisi! Ikaw pa rin dahilan ng lahat tangina mo! Sana pala natuluyan nalang ako. S-Sana. . . Sana hindi na kita nakilala pa. . . "
"M-Minahal mo ba talaga ako? Oh sinasabi mo lang yan para mas lumayo ang nararamdaman ko para sayo? I-I know you'll comeback. Sinasabi mo lang yan para hindi ako aasa diba?"
". . . Pero paano kung hindi?"
"H-Hindi! Hindi pwede! Our heartstrings are connected, Mingyu. Hindi pwede mangyari 'yon."
"Give me a favor, be emotionally stable and I'll come back."
Wonwoo pulled his hair out of frustration, he doesn't understand, "But you're all I need for me to be stable. . . Please comeback, p-please."
