SECRET HEARTACHES

MARKNELL POINT OF VIEW

"Maybe Miss Jhin loves Jaybee, so she didn't look for anyone else? They are so sweet and perfect couple." I can hear my colleague gossiping.

"Oh! They're not! I also wish they are, but they really just friends, as in super close." One answered.

But why she's not dating anyone yet? She's pretty sexy and has money."

"I think... maybe she was fooled before so she was scared."

I looked at the taxi, where Jhin and his BFF Jaybee rode in. I felt so sorry and remorse in this moment. If only I had tried to hold her accountable, if only I had not been afraid of my responsibility, if only... but I knew it was too late. Because even if I want to be close to her again, I can't. Where is our baby?

"Bro, are you going somewhere?"

I turned around and saw Kevin there. "Yes, bro. You can go ahead, thanks!"

Jhinkee Point of View

BFF Jaybee and I are already at home, I don't want to spoil our moment but I'm really crying. So I couldn't stop myself from crying in front of him.

"Hey... why are you crying?" he wiped my cheek. I immediately hugged Jaybee.

"BFF... I thought I am already over him but I am still hurting!" I sobbed in his chest. He gently stroked my back. He was just quietly listening to me. "I saw him again BFF... and I still felt the pain. What should I do?"

"First, give me your present first." he smiled at me. I hit him.

"You're really crazy." I stood up and took the present for him. It's a shell pendant. He thanked me.

"Jhin, maybe because you didn't expect to see him again, so that's how you felt and now you are working together.

I nodded softly. Jaybee sighed and held my hands. "Just keep on ignoring him until you get used to his presence. That's the best thing you could do." I smiled and hugged him again. "Thank you, BFF! You're the best!"

I'M, here again, the listener to Jhin's heartaches. When can I say I am hurting too much as well? I have feelings for her, in very special way. Not because she is my BFF but because she is a woman who deserves to be loved. I am so scared if she will find out about my true feelings because she might disappear from my life, that's what I can't handle. And I'm even more scared now because she's close to Marknell, the man she used to cry so much and even now.

We are together in everything. We are so comfortable with each other and I admit that I pray that she will learn to love me, not as a BFF of hers but as a man worthy of her.

And now... she is crying to the same person again. I want to hurt that man, but I can't because I know Jhin will get hurt too. I hugged her tightly while she hugged me too.

I hope you feel the love I have for you Jhin. I hope you see me as a man. I couldn't stop my tears from falling into my cheek.

"BFF? Are you crying too?" she asked me.

"I will really cry because of your stench." I jokingly responded. She pinched me. I hope we are like this for the rest of our lives, I hope that the time stops when I hug her again.

HIS DARE KISS

After I parked my car properly, I quickly went inside, because I arrived at the office in last minutes. "Good Morning, Guard!"

I greeted him with a smile. He smiled back at me. "Five minutes Miss Jhin."

I waved at him and continued to go inside just to stop. What's happening? Why are all my department mates gathered together and they seem to be waiting for me? Including Marknell… I avoided looking at him.

"John? Did you all come at the same time? There is no one in our office."

"Hello hello hello." Christoff suddenly showed up from nowhere. "Hi Miss Jhin?" he smiled at me. What he's purpose again? Then I saw my team mate's malicious look but the same time they looked so happy. Then they gave me red roses.

"You have long hair girl!" John shuddered as he handed me the red roses he was holding. My time stopped when Marknell handed me roses. We stared at each other as if we were really the only two there. I could see the sadness in his eyes. I quickly took the red roses in his hand.

"Christoff! I am not playing with you. Why do you need to include them in your antics?" I looked at them. "All right, you go up and we still have work to do"

"No. They will stay… right people?" Christoff smiled at me and slowly walked towards me.

"And who do you think you are? I will report this to Management." I said boldly.

He stopped in front of me. "I told you, I like you." and in a flash he gave me a kiss on the lips. My eyes widened and I slapped him hard.

The red roses I was holding fell and scattered on the floor. I cried as I ran into the elevator. I hate him! I never want to see him again!

I went straight to the office, I wiped my lips. He has no right to toy with me. I covered my face in extreme annoyance. I felt a presence and I saw a handkerchief on my desk. It was Marknell... he went straight to his cubicle.

I looked at the handkerchief. I took it and breathed in it. The others came inside with guilt on their faces. "I'm sorry Miss Jhin." Marie. "We didn't know he was so fast!" she exclaimed!

"All right, forget about it. In return, all of you will not take 15 minutes coffee break. Understood?"

I heard them murmuring. "Am I understood?" I repeated.

"Yes Miss Jhin!" in unison.

I stared at the handkerchief and looked at Marknell, he was busy with what he was doing.

I look forward to Miss Jhin coming down for lunch break, she's mad at me. I shouldn't have done that. I got up from sitting when I saw her at the entrance door and she's not looking at me. I know she knew that I am just around.

I held the microphone. "Miss Jhin! I'm sorry! I just don't know how to make you mine. Believe me, I really like you. So please… forgive me."

She still in silence even I heard the screams of others. She sat down and started eating, totally ignoring me. I let go of the microphone and approached her.

"I'm sorry... I don't know what to do so you can just notice me, what should I do?"

She looked up at me and coldly said. "Just leave me alone."

"I can't do that. Whether you like it or not you will see me here every day."

She's back to food. Once again, she ignored me. "I'm sorry if I was harsh or fast, but believe me I like you and I will do everything to make you notice me." She did not respond.

My cellphone rang. I gasped and laid a red rose on her table before leaving. What now Dad! It was Daddy calling!
