04 : whenever 

We continued walking around the area 'till Junkyu spoke.

"Let's watch the sunset." he said, a smile plastered on his face.

Napakunot naman ang noo ko.

"I'm tired." maikling sagot ko.

He pursed his lips and grabbed my wrist then ran. I didn't realize that we were both standing in front of a beautiful view—the beautiful sky, the sky-like waves, the white sand, the trees swaying, and the breeze that was fanning my face.

Junkyu took off his slippers, and I couldn't help but to follow. As my bare skin touched the sand, it was as if I can now breathe. A good release of negativity. Junkyu continued dragging me towards the ocean.

I felt the warm breeze and the cold water from the sea.

I couldn't help but to smile to Junkyu who is now enjoying the view.

"Whenever your sad or whenever you feel alone, just come here." he said, giving me a subtle smile. I think he red my mind that I'm enjoying this.

I puffed a breath and continued inhaling the cool breeze.

I heard nothing but, waves slapping my feet. Napatingin ako kay Junkyu na halatang may malalim na iniisip.

I was about to talk when he spoke.

"Whenever I feel like the world is suffocating me and I feel like I wanna vommit," he trailed off, slowly looking at me. "I'll come to you." he said, while slowly looking at me.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang nasiyahan ako sa ideyang sa'kin siya pupunta kapag pakiramdam niyang wala na siyang kakampi. Maybe because, it was my first time to feel that someone trusts me and that they're not alone 'cause they have me. It's a great feeling for someone who doesn't have friends.

"Sometimes, you should try to smile." he said, still looking at the waves splashing to our feet.

"Sometimes, you should try not to care." I jokingly retorted.

"I can't." he's voice was serious as if his life depends on it.

His expression was so blank that pages without ink would be threatened. His eyes held no emotion at all, making me shiver all of a sudden. Am I starting to see the other side of him? 'Cause if that's the case, I should be really scared.

Nang makablik na ako sa bahay kaagad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko. I had no care at all if my dad was there and I didn't greeted him. I was so exhausted to even care.

Tumihaya ako sa kama at isinubsob ang mukha sa unan.
