Heara's POV
"Hey can I ask you a favor?" Jungkook asked me while driving me back home.
"Huh? Sige, kung kaya ko."
"Can you go to our comeback concert? You know yung kinukuwento kong pinaghahandaan namin."
How can I not know about that? Nako kung alam lang nila kung anong epekto ng grupo nila sa akin simula ng na curious ako sa kanila. From that moment, yeah like other fans did, I was mezmerized by them.
Of course gustong gusto kong pumunta kaso hindi ko nga lang afford. Aish pang araw araw nga na gastos eh hirap na akong problemahin, pang concert pa kaya?
"Er..."
"Pretty please?" Sabi niya with matching puppy eyes pa yan.
"If I could why not? Pero alam mo naman na I'm more than broke." Yea, literally and emotionally.
"Don't worry sagot ko naman eh. Please? Cheer mo kami!" Sabi niya na parang bata.
"Oo na haha pero hala ano to game sa basketball?" Sabi ko ng nagtataka. "It's not like you guys can hear my voice during your performances. You know the fact that I don't shout and gush around like normal fangirls do. At tsaka ano naman maitutulong ko? Ang dami naman na ng sumusuporta sa inyo, di niyo na ako kailangan dun."
"But I need you." Jungkook said at biglang lumaki ang mata ko dahil sa narinig ko.
"Ya, anong drama yan. Don't say na attach ka na sa akin hahaha." Sabi ko sabay tawa sa kanya.
"What if I tell you I did?"
"Huwag ka ngang magbiro ng ganyan uy haha."
"Who said I'm joking around right now? Heara I'm serious. Your presence matters to me." I looked at him at nakita ko ngang seryoso siya. Walang bahid ng biro ang makikita mo sa mukha niya.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. "Please stop that then."
"Stop what?" He asked bewildered.
"Yan. Getting too attached to me. It's not a good thing."
"And why?"
"Basta. Wala naman magandang mangyayari jan." Sabi ko at saka umiling.
"Is being happy not a good thing?" He countered.
"You don't mean that." I whispered.
"I mean it." Sabi niya at inihinto ang kotse. "Seryoso ako Heara. I'm so much happy when I am with you."
Hindi ko na alam ang iisipin ko sa kanya, how did things turned this way? Bakit bigla nalang akong napressure?
"Pfft." I said and half laughed. "Tama na nga ang seryoso na haha." There, my way to escape. Idaan sa tawa.
"Stop laughing." He said at talagang walang bahid ng pagbibiro ang kanyang mukha.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. "So what's the point?"
"The point is I like you." Dire diretso niyang sabi.
"You what?" I asked as my heart starts to beat up faster again. Hindi ko alam kung mali lang ako nang narinig o ano.
Darn this confrontations. I'm no good with these things. And add the fact na ngayon ko lang nafeel kung paano may umamin sayo. Sobrang kinakabahan ako.
"You heard me.." He said at nang tumingin ako sa kanya ay namula na siya. "Don't make me repeat that again, it's hard."
"Did.." I started to stutter. "..you just confessed?"
"Yeah, I think so." Sabi niya at huminga ng malalim making him catch his breath.
This is so sudden. Teka pano na naman ba ulit ako napunta sa ganitong sitwasyon? Fudge. Anong sasabihin ko sa kanya? I could not turn him down. I don't like the sight of making people sad and lonely. How can I tell him na may iba akong gusto without hurting him?
Opo alam ko, si Jeon Jungkook to ng BTS. My goodness. Ako!? Magugustuhan ni Jungkook!? Seryoso ba to? As in whoa! Paano mangyayari yun eh hindi naman ako kagusto gustong tao. Opo I admit, I'm attracted to him nung una, I mean sino bang hindi, ang gwapo na nga tapos ang gentleman pa, he's also the shy type at mahiyain tulad ko. Kung iisipin siya yung dream guy ko.. Kaso Kim Taehyung entered the picture, pulling me out of my dream. Siya yung nagustuhan ko kahit ganun siya, ewan ko ba. Ganito ba talaga tong pag ibig na tinatawag nila? Ang gulo naman.
"Uhh..." I started pero walang salitang gustong lumabas sa bibig ko.
"It's okay, you don't need to answer. Gusto ko lang malaman mo." Sabi nya at saka ngumiti ng malapad sa akin.
How can I break an angel's heart like his? Ang hirap naman nito.
"I think, baka nabibigla kalang hehe." I told him. "Pano mo ako magugustuhan? Ang dami pang mas magaganda jan eh."
"I'm not that shallow na sa ganda lang ang basehan." He countered me. "It's more than that, siguro hindi mo makita kung anong meron ka, but I, can see it."
"But.."
He shooked his head. "Just let me like you please."
I sighed in defeat. I think I should tell him about it. "But.. I'm afraid I like someone else."
Nawala yung ngiti sa mukha niya. Fudge, eto na nga sinasabi ko eh, haist.
"So who's the lucky man?" He asked pero ngayon isang ngiti na naman ang pinakawalan niya.
"I'm so sorry." Sabi ko at yumuko. "I told you it's not a good thing to even like me."
He shooked his head. "You're the reason I'm happy, how's that not a good thing?" He said then shrugged. "So sino ba?"
"It's Taehyung." I said ad sighed. "I'm so sorry."
"Si.." bulong niya at kitang kita ko ang gulat sa mukha niya. ".. Si hyung?" Sabi niya at napaigting ang paghawak niya sa manibela at sumeryoso muli ang kanyang mukha.
"Kaya pala." He whispered. "But.. si Katlyn.."
"I know I know." At ngumiti ako ng mapait. "I'm not planning to enter within their picture anyway. That's why I told you don't get to attached to me. It so hard having a broken heart and and I'm trying to spare you from one."
"Don't worry about me. Having a broken heart is least of my worries. I much more worried na hindi ko mapakita yung nararamdaman ko while still having the chance." Sagot niya at binigyan niya ako ng napakagandang ngiti.
"You'll regret that." Sabi ko at tumingin sa labas ng bintana. "Don't be to attached or get too close, I warned you."
"I know but don't worry about me. Kaya ko ang sarili ko. Anyway, could you tell me what exactly happened how did you ended up liking hyung?"
"I.." I started having doubts. Should I open this up to him? I guess so, after all, he shouldn't like me. Baka telling him how much I like Tae would make him give up, I don't want to have him to be in the same place as me.
I sighed. "Ganito kasi yun.."
