Yah! Little vampire!!

I am about to slap her back when a middle aged woman entered the comfort room. As soon as she saw us, I think she got an idea on what is happening so she talked loudly to those girls in Korean. Mabilis na lumabas ang mga babaeng yon at lumapit naman sa akin ang medyo matanda nang ginang.

"I am sorry about that iha, are you okay?" she gently said. I am so angry but as soon as I heard her, pakiramdam ko ay kumalma agad ako.

"Yes, im fine." Mahinang sagot ko sa kanya habang inaayos ko na ang sarili ko.

....

Paglabas ko sa CR, hindi parin ako makapaniwala sa mga nangyari. This is all so foolish. Bumuntong hininga nalang ako ng pagkalalilalim nang biglang narinig ko ang pangalan ko.

"Jade-ssi, ahh... I thought you're gone. Let's go back to the hall now, Jin-hyung is looking for you." Sabi ng nagngangalang Hyunwoo. Ahh, so he sends someone to look for me instead of looking for me himself. Well, what should I expect anyway? As soon as I saw him standing in there, I don't know but my anger is back again.

But, ayokong mahalata niyang galit na galit ako. I don't want to act childish in front of him even if I have the reason to do so. At isa pa, I can't blame him for all these things, alam kong I'm the one who asked him for this so I think I just need to keep this all inside me. For the sake of my debt.

We sat in a round little table along with Hyunwoo while a girl is singing on the stage. All of the people is looking at her, and she is indeed a good singer. Pero hindi parin mawala ang galit ko especially when I saw those girls laughing while looking at me. And worst is one of them just showed me a 'fuck you' sign na lalong ikinagalit ko. I am usually calm whenever I get angry but this is just too much for me to handle and I can't just clenched my fist tight like this. I think I need to do something or else I'm going to burst out of anger.

Thankfully, a waiter came and put some wine in the table. The two guys is still busy looking at the stage and ako naman, bigla kong binuksan ang bottle ng wine at pinunu ang glass wine ko. As soon as I finished drinking the whole glass, napa ungol ako ng bahagya dahil sa pait pero I nilunok ko parin ito. Wine naman ito, kaya hindi ako malalasing. At isa pa, umiinom na ako ng wine dati but hindi ko pa naranasang ma lasing. Kaya pinunu ko ulit ang baso ko and when I am about to drink it the vampire quickly grabbed it off my hand. Wala sa loob na tinitigan ko siya ng matalim.

"What are you doing." Kunot noo niyang sabi sakin. Tumitig lang din siya sa akin. Nagtitigan kami ng ilang sandali pero as expected, ako rin ang unang bumigay. Hindi ko magawang tumitig sa kanya ng matagal. Dahil kahit ano pang inis ang nararamdaman ko ay parang napapalitan na ng malalakas na kabog ng puso ko tuwing nagtatama ang aming mata. Ibinaling ko na lang ang tingin ko sa stage.

"What happened to your face?" Biglang tanong niya at napalingun ako sa kanya.

"Huh?" Nagmarka ba ang pisngi ko?

"No...nothing." i simply said and i'm about to cover my cheek when he grabbed my wrist.

"Tsk!! Who did this to you?" Seryosong sabi niya na bahagyang ikinagulat ko. Somehow, he's a bit scary. But then, mas nagulat ako when he suddenly touched my cheek softly. Hindi ko maipaliwanag pero parang nakuryente ang buong katawan ko sa ginawa niya.

"Uhm, just some brats." Tanging pag-amin ko as i tried to hide my face from him. Because i dont want him to see me blushing like this.

"But i'm fine, i wont let them get away next time. I'm gonna punch them when they do this kind of thing again." Matigas na sabi ko.

"Pfftt... thats the spirit. I'm glad you're not a weakling just like those little brats." And I blushed again upon hearing him as he chuckled. And whoa! He's so cute.

Then, I realize na masyado akung nadadala sa mga immature girls nayun. Bakit ba kapag kasama ko ang bampirang ito ay madalas akong nawawala sa sarili ko? I should have ignored them as I usually do.

Hindi na siya nagtanung pa pero madalas nya akung sinusulyapan, and I know that he's having some suspicions now that something might have happened kanina. After the dinner, pinilit kami ni Hyunwoo na sumama daw sa baba. Pagdating namin don, nadatnan namin ang anim na kalalakihan kasama yung tatlong nakilala ko kanina. And there's a lot of green bottles on top of the table. Hindi ba't ito yung suju na sinasabi nila?

"Do you think you can wait?" sabi niya sa akin. What else can i do? Should I go on my own? But it's already past 10. I think I should just wait kaya I just nodded at him. Those other boys seems so respectful naman at iginiya agad ako sa isang couch malapit lang sa table nila.

....

"Yah!! Wake up now little freak.. uwi na tayo." Pagkarinig ko sa boses ng vampire ay napabalikwas na naman ako. Lumabas na kami sa building and while waiting for taxi tinitingnan ko sya and, sa tingin ko...huh? Lasing ba siya? Nakipag inuman ba siya sa mga lalaking yun kanina? Nakasandal lang siya sa poste at nakayuko. Thankfully, hindi umuulan ngayun.

Pagkalipas ng ilang sandali ay nagpa para parin ako ng taxi nang tumingin ako sa kanya, and he is right there holding his head and sitting like some problematic guy. But even if he's on that state he still manage to look cool. Seriously, ang lalakeng ito. Bakit ba hindi siya isang idol?

Its already 11 kaya mahirap nang kumuha ng taxi. And worst is ang lamig lamig na. I am still standing along side the road while hugging myself when he came and put his coat in me. And then paglingun ko sa kanya ay bigla siyang umakbay sa akin. Huh? Nagulantang ako.

"A...anong problema?" Utal kong sabi nang isinandal lang niya ang noo nya sa noo ko. Pagtingin ko sa mukha niya ay...huh? Nakapikit siya? And then, pakiramdam ko ay pabigat ng pabigat ang pag-akbay niya sakin. Don't tell me he's about to sleep?

"Hoy, vampire! Huwag kang matulog, hindi kita kayang buhatin nu?" Sabi ko as i tried to shake him off. Kasi naman, baka ako pa ang mawalan ng malay sa mga nararamdaman ko ngayon. Mabuti nalang at nakapikit siya.

"Idiot, who's asleep." Mahinang sabi niya. At bumigat na naman siya.

"Hoy, wait, i told you dont sleep. Any more than this and we'll fall." Protesta ko na naman at umungol lang siya. Hinawakan ko ng dalawa kung kamay ang magkabilang pisngi niya and then i tried shaking his head sabay sabing; "Gising na! Gising na, iwan kita dito kung ganyan ka."

Dahan dahan niyang minulat ang kanyang mata at tumingin lang sakin. Pagtama ng mata namin ay narealize kung ang lapit pala ng mga mukha namin. Pakiramdam ko ay tumigil ang paghinga ko at umusok ang aking noo. Bigla ko siyang binitawan at tumalikud agad ako sa kanya. Alam kong hindi mabuti na makita nya ang sobrang namumula kong mukha.

Pero pagtalikud ko ay... napasinghap na naman ako. Dahil.. because he just put his arms on my shoulders as he whispered on my ears, "Sandal lang ako sandali sayo..." as he leans his head on my shoulder.

And para na akong nabuhusan ng yelo at nag freeze na ako sa kinatatayuan ko. His breathe that just touched my ear just now has made my heart feels like it's going to burst. This vampire does'nt even know that i'm dying here.

Hindi ko na alam kung ilang sandali ang lumipas nang natauhan ako. I am about to talk when a taxi came. And when we arrived in front of our building, naku the vampire is knocked down.?

"Yah!! Little vampire!! Gising na nandito na tayo.." it is already 5 minutes na ginigising ko sya pero hindi parin sya gumigising. The driver seems so annoyed now kaya lumabas sya at tinulungan akong ilabas ang tulog na vampire palabas sa taxi. Im doing my best na hindi matumba habang inaakbayan sya. Naku what should I do? Pinilit ko ulit syang ginising hanggang sa tinapik ko ang mukha nya at mukhang nagising naman sya.

"Hoy! Andito na tayo, hindi kita kayang buhatin no?" agad kung sabi sa kanya. Minulat niya ang mata niya at kumawala sa akin. Naglakad sya patungo sa main door pero nang sa tingin ko ay matutumba na sya, ay inakbayan ko sya at iginiya sa loob. While we're on the elevator, inaakbayan ko pa rin sya pero pabigat na naman sya ng pabigat. Tulog na naman ba sya?

"Oi!! Gising na. bumukas na ang elevator. Oi!!" kahit anung gawin ko sa kanya ay hindi parin sya gumigising. Pasara na ang elevator kaya buong lakas ko syang hinila palabas but in the end, both of us fell.

The vampire is now on top of me, and he is sleeping soundly. My heart suddenly went crazy again. So I pushed him at napahiga sya sa sahig. Tumayo ako agad but as I look at him, napaupo ako at pinanood ko lang sya. At this moment, I can't stop asking why he is so handsome. Unconsciously, my hand just moved and as it nearly touch his handsome face when... my phone rung.
