100,000?!

Pagmulat ng mga mata ko, nakikita ko ang plain white na ceiling ng room. And definitely, this is not my room. Am I dreaming? Bumangon ako at pagtingin ko sa window, the sun is already rising. I look around the room and the room is simply plain yet looks cool and masculine.

There's no way this is real. Besides, how did I even get here in the first place?

Then without words, I opened the door and pagbungad ko sa sala... theres a guy sleeping in the couch.

And it's him, that vampire I've met yesterday is sleeping in front of my eyes. And he is indeed so handsome even while sleeping soundly like that.

Wow, I think this is the first time I ever had a crazy dream like this. But how could it felt so real?

Habang tinitingnan ko ang guwapo niyang mukha ay hindi ko namalayang kinukurot ko ang sarili kong pisngi at na pa ouch ako nang bahagya.

Then I started to remember everything that happened yesterday. I began to feel like I found myself committing a crazy crime so my feet just started to move backward. Hanggang sa nasagi ko ang isang maliit na table sa likod ko. Natumba ang frame na nasa ibabaw ng table. Damn! I'm not this clumsy before. I think I'm just in a panic right now. Dahan dahan kong itinayo ulit ang frame na wala namang picture na laman. Then paglingon ko sa kinaruruunan ng vampire... for the second time, nagtama na naman ang mata naming dalawa. But this time, I kinda felt nervous.

He is looking at me casually just like before but I am too embarrassed to look at him. Napakagat labi na lang ako as I averted my gaze to the window. I can't think of any word to say anymore. Right now I just felt so ashamed.

Tumayo na sya at inayos ang pinaghigaan nya habang sinusulyapan ko lang sya. No matter how nice it feels to look at a handsome guy like him, I just can't stand how horrible I feel right now. How I wish to just disappear.

Afterwards, he looks at me again. But this time, his eyes seems serious and I can't deny that it scares me a little. Now, he is coming closer without averting his gaze. Then, unconsciously my feet just moved backwards again. I know that it's not fear but I am nervous for some reason I do not know. I keep on moving backward as he comes closer until I think I was cornered already. He is now so close to me. At yumuko sya ng kunti at inilapit ang mukha nya sa mukha ko before saying;

"You're obviously trying to escape just now don't you? Wae? Are you scared? No? Do you feel embarrassed?"

He is blending some Korean words sa sentence nya but I can understand it. But seriously, do you really need to come this close just to say that?

I averted my gaze away dahil sa tingin ko I can't manage to deal with this kind of pressure. I am about to move sideward to avoid him but he quickly put his arms against the wall. And now, I felt like I was jailed between him and the wall. Napatulala nalang ako sa kanya as he looks at me, too. That moment, I don't know, but my brain goes blank. After some seconds, his expression changed back to a calm one i think. Then he put his arms down and smiled like there is something fun na nangyayari.

I can't even get any idea what he is thinking. He have such a nice poker face. Then tumalikod sya as he told me to follow him. Sumunod naman ako agad kasi I know I don't have any choice anymore.

Dinala nya ako sa kusina.

"Have a seat," sabi nya. Umupo naman ako habang nagtitimpla sya ng kape.

"You. Do you know what you did to me since you fainted yesterday until this morning? ... do you know how much my service cost?" he said habang umiinom ng kape.

"Huh?" hindi ako makapaniwala sa sinasabi nya.

"Wow. All you can say is 'huh?'." He said with an annoying smile again.

"Then! I think I'm going to tell you some fun things... Sabihin na nating, I carried you from the road down there up here in 8th floor, then I've been through some embarrassing moment while calling the useless contacts in your phone. Then you kicked me out of my own bed and I ended up sleeping uncomfortably in a couch... is that it?"

"Ahh. There's one more trouble you gave me, and it's you yourself... I'm not someone kind, and considering the fact that you're a girl... ahh... I think, I've done a very excellent job serving someone I don't even know. Right?? So, if I'll convert that service to money... 100,000 would be enough."

"H-huh? 100000?!!"
