Special Chapter

From staring at his handsome face while he was peacefully asleep, probably tired from our rough and hard activity last night, his plump lips lightly ajar as his chest slowly moved up and down against my shoulder and his blonde hair messy from my doings, I let a small smile appear in my lips as I felt euphoric just watching him.

Nakadapa siya sa tabi ko at nakaharap sa akin ang guwapong mukha.

No wonder why people were very willing to pay him grand just to make him sign a modeling contract with them. Kahit sino nga namang makakakita sa kaniya sa telebisyon, sa magazine o kahit sa brochure pa ng kung anong mga produkto ay ma-e-engganyo. Kahit nga siguro pintura o semento pa ang i-advertise niya ay kikita pa rin.

I lovingly combed his soft hair with my fingers, my mind playfully bringing me back to the times I was tightly gripping on it, pulling it till my satisfaction as he made me feel heaven with him. Mas lumapad ang ngiti sa mga labi ko nang maalala ko ang mga nangyari kagabi pero agad din naman ang pag-iinit ng mga pisngi ko.

The brute had his greatest time last night, exhausting me till I got tired of screaming his name and just let him do the work. He would always make me feel very spent and sore every time his libido would take charge. Hindi talaga niya ako tinitigilan hanggang sa hindi ako umiiyak.

Sometimes, I could cope up with him, but most of the times, I couldn't. Though he was a freaking devil and monster in bed, I still damn freaking loved him nevertheless.

Banayad na humaplos ang mga daliri ko sa bawat hibla ng buhok niya. He might have felt it 'cause he started stirring up before he slowly let his eyes flutter open, my reflection on his dark circles the first thing my eyes caught.

Saglit niya munang ibinaon sa malambot na unan ang mukha niya at nang muli siyang mag-angat ng tingin sa akin, may matamis na ngiti nang nakapaskil sa mga labi niya. It should be illegal to be this handsome early in the morning. Kahit ang magulo at kalat-kalat na ayos ng mga kilay niya ay ikinaguwapo niya. Kahit ang tuyong mga labi niya dahil sa lamig ay hindi man lang nakabawas sa kaguwapuhan niya.

I could actually waste a whole day trying to find flaws in him and I would end up nothing for the list.

"What time is it already?" he asked in his raspy and slightly groggy voice. Umurong siya ng kaunti para maibaon sa balikat ko ang mukha niya habang may sariling buhay na pumulupot sa baywang ko ang isang braso niya. It was so easy for him to scoot me closer to his bare body under the covers since I didn't weigh. Hindi pa siya nakuntento, maging ang isang hita niya ay idinagan niya sa mga hita ko na nagpakunot ng noo ko.

Sure, he was tired and still sleepy but it was already ten in the morning and the sun was at its high, we should be up now since we still had a preparation to make.

"It's time for you to wake up, Jimin. Ayaw kong abutan tayo rito ng mga iyon na nasa kama pa!" I quickly pushed his face away from my neck when I felt his lips lightly start sucking on my skin but his arm around me just tightened as his leg on top of mine pinned harder.

"Yah, it's my birthday. They'll understand how I want to spend the rest of the day…" Pabiro niyang kinagat ang palad kong nasa mukha niya kaya agad kong na-ilayo sa kaniya ang kamay ko. He took the chance to bury his face again on my neck, once again sucking on my skin.

"Jimin!" I whined at him, too weak to overpower his strength. I wanted to press my legs together because of the wetness he was making me feel downtown but his leg was blocking my legs from moving. Hinawakan ko ang braso niyang nasa baywang ko, gamit ang dalawang kamay ay sinubukan ko iyong alisin pero ang walanghiya, may binabalak talaga gayong kagigising lang niya.

From the side of my hips, I could freaking feel his readiness, it was hot and hard. Umagang-umaga! I was still very sore from what he did to me last night!

Gathering my morning strength, since I couldn't push his strong body away from mine, I just got up from bed and with the bed sheet tightly hugged to my chest, I ran towards the bathroom, faintly hearing him desperately call for my name.

"Hannan, come back here! It's my birthday! I can't start the day with these painful blue balls!"

Yes, it was his birthday, his twenty-fifth birthday. Tumatanda na ang walanghiya pero wala pa ring pinagbago ang takbo ng utak. He was still very pervert and playful. Kagalang-galang naman sana kapag nasa opisina siya at naghahari sa Manila branch ng Park Corp. pero mukhang wala na yatang ika-ayos ang takbo ng utak niya.

Kung kanina wala akong makitang flaw sa kaniya, ngayon ay mayroon na.

Mabilis akong naligo kahit na rinig na rinig ko sa labas ng banyo ang desperadong paki-usap niya na papasukin siya sa loob para sabayan ako. I knew him too well I couldn't just give in. Lalo na at sa tuwing nilalandi niya ako ay hindi ko rin naman siya matanggihan. Seriously, I was too weak and soft for him I was surprised I was still not getting pregnant. Kasi kung hindi lang ako active at alert sa mga pills na iniinom ko ay baka noon pa kami ikinasal.

We could have been taking care of his kids already.

"It's my birthday! I want your present! And you know what I want to receive from you!"

See? Napakalandi niya. Kapag binuksan ko ang pinto ng banyo at hinayaan siyang makapasok ay paniguradong sa banyo na kami aabutan ng mga kaibigan niya. The last thing I wanted was to give his friends something to tease us with.

With the laces of the mint robe I was wearing tied tightly around my waist, I went out of the bathroom. Ang basa kong buhok ay marahan kong pinapatuyo gamit ang isang malinis na mint colored towel. May mga gamit na rin ako rito sa suite niya dahil dito ako minsan natutulog kapag weekends.

Kaya pala tumigil na siya sa kakakatok sa pinto ng banyo dahil busy na siya sa harap ng laptop niya. May suot na siyang short pero hubad pa rin ang pang-itaas na bahagi ng katawan niya. He sat in the middle of his bed, forehead creased while seriously staring at the screen and his hands quickly working on the keyboard.

I slowly walked towards him and sat on the edge of the bed, silently peeking on the screen. Nakita kong sumasagot siya ng mga emails. Karamihan sa mga iyon ay nangangailangan ng agarang reply mula sa kaniya kaya siguro hindi na ma-ipinta ang hitsura niya.

Madalas niyang ireklamo sa akin ang mga demanding na clients. He said they were all sending him an urgent message but after studying the deal, turned out, it wasn't really urgent. I knew what it felt like to be rushed about something that wasn't really urgent. Madalas din akong makatanggap ng mga ganoong message mula rin sa mga kliyente ng U-Co.

"Pagkatapos mo, maligo ka na. You're on a birthday-leave, I'm sure they're informed about it." I gently wrapped my arms around his waist as I softly put my chin on his shoulder, lightly leaving soft kisses.

He still smelled like last night. Hindi naman nagbabago ang amoy niya.

"Diyan ka magaling. You always take the first move but when I caved in, you're running away," he said in a huff but still turned his head so I could kiss his jaw. "You tease…"

"Maligo ka na," mabini kong bulong sa kaniya nang marating ng mga labi ko ang punong-tainga niya. Ang mga kamay kong nasa baywang niya ay naglandas na sa tiyan niya paakyat sa mga balikat niya at marahang humahaplos.

His bare body felt hot and smooth against my palms, it made me want to just cave into him too and let us have the rest of the day with how we both wanted to spend it but if I did that, his friends would seriously catch us. Ni hindi naman namin pareho idea ang magkaroon ng party rito sa mismong suite ni Jimin, ni wala akong maalalang pumayag akong pumunta sila rito.

It was that troublemaker's idea.

Kahapon lang talaga namin pareho nalaman ni Jimin na balak nilang mag-party. They said it wasn't so often we crowded nowadays since we were all busy with our works, so without asking us first, they all had come out with the plan.

Ang gagaling nila.

"For a moment, east, let me just reply them an acknowledgement. You should dress up…" Tuluyan na niyang hinarap sa akin ang mukha niya saka ngumuso. "Kiss me to make up with my blue balls earlier," aniya.

I submissively neared my face to him until my lips touched his awaiting ones. Matagal iyon na para bang alam namin pareho na hindi kami makukuntento sa mabilis na halik lang. He even pushed his tongue into my lips so I willingly opened up and let his tongue shortly taste my mouth. Nang maghiwalay kami ay isang mabilis na halik pa ulit bago ako tumayo para magbihis na.

"Wear the cami dress I bought you last week, the backless one with slit!" Pahabol niya nang maglakad na ako patungo sa walk-in closet niya.

Humagikhik ako. "I hate to say this, but I trust your taste!"

Napangiti ako nang makita ko ang sarili ko sa salamin, suot ang kulay dugong cami dress na binili nga ni Jimin sa akin last week. Hindi ko pa ito nagagamit dahil wala naman kami masyadong nagiging lakad nitong mga nakaraang araw.

I stood in front of the mirror inside his walk-in closet with my one leg prompted against the other, the side slit of the dress showing the bit of my white smooth leg—just as he freaking wanted. I even twisted my body a bit to see my back, uncovered since the dress had a deep U back.

One of his greatest pleasures in life—as he termed it—was to see me wear the dresses he bought for me. Sobrang hilig niyang bilhan ako ng mga damit. Minsan nga nakikita ko siyang nag-ba-browse sa mga online catalogues, maiintindihan ko kung nasa men's category siya pero nasa women's siya. Then turned out, he was planning to buy me a new dress.

Alam na alam ng walanghiya ang sukat ko kaya nagugulat na lang ako kapag may binili siya.

Natigil lang ako sa paninitig sa sarili ko sa salamin nang makita kong bumukas ang pinto ng walk-in closet saka siya iniluwa noon. Nakasuot na siya ng asul na robe at tinutuyo ang basang buhok gamit ang asul na tuwalya. His perverted eyes instantly found me just as a maniac grin stretched into his plump lips.

He slowly walked inside, as my heart did summersault just because he was in sight again. Hindi pa man siya nagsasalita ay alam ko na ang tinatakbo ng utak niya.

"As expected, you look so sexy…" he commented, walking towards the cabinet of his clothes.

"Stop imagining me wearing dresses, Jimin. You're so pervert." Inirapan ko siya saka ibinalik sa salamin ang mga mata dahil abala na siya sa pagpili ng isusuot niya.

"What? I need to imagine if the dress will suit you, east." Pagdadahilan niya. "Anyway, nasa labas na sila. Have you told any of them the passcode of our suite?"

"Your drunken ass did, pervert." With an intentionally flipped hair, I seductively strode in front of him. Sinigurado ko talagang nakatitig siya sa akin kaya nang dumaan ako sa harap niya ay sinubukan niyang hablutin ako pero tumalilis na ako ng takbo palabas ng walk-in closet.

"Fvck! You tease, come back here and be responsible enough with your doings!"

I really loved to tease him, it always made me feel how I controlled him, and how I had him in the grip of my fingers. Our minds might grow, but our hearts would always stay the same, or maybe it did change, 'cause as time passed by, I couldn't feel my love for him but growing and growing.

Truth be told, halos bumaliktad na nga ang mga mata ko sa pag-ikot nang makita kong nagkalat na sa living room ang mga kaibigan namin.

They had brought so much stuff; there were presents for the birthday boy, bottles of different beverages, I even noticed cocktail candies in a transparent jar, and some delivered foods from The Min's. May mga party hats din silang dala na para lang sa mga bata, makulay ang mga iyon pero halatang pinasadya dahil sa wacky face ni Jimin sa bandang gitna. Mayroon ding mga confetti at iba pang mga gamit na madalas makikita sa mga kiddie birthday parties.

They were seriously thinking of throwing a kiddie birthday party for my boyfriend who was in his twenty-fifth year and had already closed a lot of big deals for Park Corporation. Palalayasin ko talaga ang kung sinumang naka-isip ng ganitong pakulo.

Ang babaeng iyon!

Halos lahat sila ay abala sa kani-kanilang ginagawa. Ang kaninang tahimik at malinis na living room ay magulo at makalat na. They were also dressed very casually suited the occasion, girls in pretty dresses and boys in a pair of button-down polos and jeans.

Taehyung and his girlfriend together with Kuya Namjoon's girl sat comfortably on the carpet while manually blowing one by one those sky-blue colored balloons. Si Kuya Hoseok ay dumiretso kaagad sa TV para abalahin si Lao ng kung anong cartoon series dahil nakikita kong gustong makisali ng bata sa kanila Taehyung.

My heart swelled in happiness when I saw the kid go silent as soon as SpongeBob SquarePants appeared on the screen. Lumalaki na si Lao, at parang hindi pa ako handa para roon.

Only if he would stay a kid forever.

From the long couch, that was where I found Kuya Yoongi who smartly yet lazily found his place. I didn't know if he was already sleeping but looking how he comfortably laid his head on his girl's lap, I could tell he was feeling cozy.

"Hi…" Came from a very soft voice.

Nang mag-angat ako ng tingin sa girlfriend ni Kuya Yoongi ay nakita ko ang tipid niyang ngiti.

The young pretty girl was always so soft and sweet. Kung hindi ko lang talaga nasaksihan ang mga pinagdaanan nila ni Kuya Yoongi ay iisipin kong masyado siyang mabait para kay Kuya Yoongi, pero sino ba naman ako para kuwestiyunin sila kung marami na silang parehong hinarap para lang manatiling sila hanggang dulo?

Sure, there's no'no' and 'can't be' if you truly love the person.

"Tell me you didn't ditch school for this…" I exasperatedly sighed when she quickly shook her head.

"I got this day cleared last week so…" Yumuko siya nang makita kong hinaplos ni Kuya Yoongi ang kamay niyang nakapatong sa dibdib nito.

The cold man was awaked all along.

Nakita kong tahimik silang nagbulungan habang dahan-dahang tumatango ang girlfriend niya sa sinasabi niya. Mukhang hindi na nila ako na-alala kaya hinanap ko na lang ang iba pang hindi ko pa nakikita. Magtatanong pa lang sana ako kaso naunahan na ako ni Taehyung.

"They're in the kitchen already. Kaya na namin ito, you better check them there. Kuya Namjoon with Kuya Jin's girlfriend there, they'll be a handful."

Hindi nga nagkamali si Taehyung dahil pagdating ko ng kitchen ay delubyo ang inabutan ko. Jimin was very particular in every part of his house, his kitchen the most. Hindi siya madalas magluto dahil busy siyang tao pero sa tuwing may mahalagang okasyon kaming pinaghahandaan sa relasyon namin ay nagluluto siya.

He always made sure to make his kitchen very neat every time.

Mariin akong pumikit nang mamataan ko sina Kuya Namjoon at ang girlfriend ni Kuya Jin na nag-aagawan ng bowl na may lamang whisk at harina, mukhang cupcake mix iyon dahil sa box na nasa countertop.

Si Kuya Jin ay abala sa harap ng stove, nakatalikod kaya walang ideya sa ginagawa ng dalawang kasama niya. Makalat ang countertop dahil sa ilang mga wasted ingredients at ilang kitchenware.

I had all my trust in Kuya Jin when it came to kitchen works, he was reliable and very good in cooking. Hindi nga ba't kahit na hindi naman siya nagtapos ng Culinary o kahit na ano pang course na related sa pagluluto ay pumayag pa rin ang mga magulang niya na bilhin ang isa sa mga The Min's Restaurant under franchised para lang sa practice niya?

He was now an owner of one of The Min's Restaurant. Maayos naman niyang napapatakbo iyon dahil nagtapos siya ng business course at MBA sa labas ng bansa.

Wala akong tiwala sa mga taong kasama niya. Maiintindihan ko pa kung iyong girlfriend ni Kuya Namjoon ang kasama nila dahil kahit papaano ay mas matino naman iyon ng slight kaysa sa babaeng ito o kaya iyong girlfriend ni Taehyung dahil mahinhin iyon at mabait. At kaninong idea na hayaang papasukin si Kuya Namjoon sa kusina?

"Get out before I bathe you two with that powder!" malakas na sigaw ko na nagpagulat sa kanila, naging dahilan iyon para mabitawan nila iyong bowl at magkalat sa sahig  iyong powder. Kahit si Kuya Jin din ay napatalon din sa gulat.

"Blame it to your reckless ass. Nanggugulat ka kasi…" Kuya Jin's girlfriend snickered at me as she stubbornly crossed her arms in front of her chest. Mukha siyang lilipad na dahil sa oversized pink shirt na suot niya, mas matangkad siya sa akin pero mas malaman naman ako.

She wasn't wearing anything in the bottom since the shirt had reached till the above of her knees. Mukhang panglalaki ang damit dahil sa malaking sleeves at round neck noon. Ang mga niya paa ay nababalutan ng pares ng puting running shoes samantalang nakalugay lang ang mahaba at wavy niyang buhok.

"Ay, language, young lady…" Kuya Jin dangerously warned her.

Umirap lang siya sa akin saka walang sabi-sabing nagmartsa na palabas ng kusina. Nang dumaan siya sa gilid ko ay bumulong pa siya. "You look ugly in that dress…"

Hindi iyon narinig ng dalawang lalaki dahil abala na rin si Kuya Jin sa panenermon kay Kuya Namjoon.

A small smile slowly found its way into my lips as I lamely shook my head. Sure, her compliments would always be the otherwise 'cause we didn't do honest compliments. That was our thing ever since our paths crossed. Hindi talaga kami magkasundo pero napagtitiisan naman namin ang presensiya ng bawat isa.

After a while, sumunod na rin naman si Kuya Namjoon palabas. Nag-sorry pa siya sa akin at sinabing magpapatawag ng cleaners para linisin ang kalat na ginawa nila pero umiling ako. Hindi na kailangan, hindi rin naman magugustuhan ni Jimin na may mga cleaners na pupunta rito. In the end, ako na lang ang tumulong kay Kuya Jin sa kusina.

I learned a lot from Tita Janna, noon ay madalas kaming magkaroon ng cooking session at labis ko iyong ipinagpapasalamat sa kaniya dahil nagagamit ko iyong mga itinuro niya sa akin para kay Jimin, minsan para kay Daddy.

Hinayaan ako ni Kuya Jin na ipagpatuloy ang cupcakes na ginagawa kanina nila Kuya Namjoon. He gave me the recipe for it and told me what he was planning to cook. Ilang minuto lang ay lumitaw sa kusina ang girlfriend ni Taehyung kasunod niya si Jimin na nakabihis na.

They were both wearing a party hat with Jimin's wacky face in front.

Hindi ko na kailangan pang itanong kung bakit nakasimangot siya. Sa hitsura niya, mukhang napagkaisahan na siya ng mga kaibigan niya. He was already wearing a stripes button-down long sleeves polo that looked so big for him and a khaki short.

"May maitutulong ba ako rito? Puwede akong maghugas ng mga pinggan!" Taehyung's girl enthusiastically said while skipping towards the countertop where I stood.

"No, you don't need to wash the dish—"

"Okay lang naman, Hannan! Nangalay kasi iyong panga ko kaka-ihip ng mga lobo!" Pinutol niya ang sinasabi ko saka dumiretso sa sink na puno nga ng mga hugasin.

Bumuntong-hininga ako. "If you insist…" Hinayaan ko na siya sa gusto niyang gawin at bago ko balingan si Jimin ay tinanguan ko muna si Kuya Jin na mukhang hindi rin sang-ayon sa gustong gawin ng girlfriend ni Taehyung.

From behind me, Jimin was quick to wrap his arms around me and softly whine against me shoulder. "They're so messy…" Parang batang pagsusumbong niya sa akin.

Hindi ko siya magawang hawakan dahil may suot akong cooking gloves at may mantsa ang mga iyon. I just turned my head to lightly peek at his frowning face. His shower gel was so cool in my nose, mixing with his sweet and minty scent. Malamig din ang balat niya dahil kakatapos niya lang maligo at air-conditioned ang buong bahay.

"Hayaan mo na, minsan lang naman. It's your birthday, you shouldn't be frowning." Ibinalik ko ang atensiyon ko sa pag-mi-mix saka ko naramdamang inayos niya ang pagkakalugay ng buhok ko sa likod ko. Hinawi niya ang mga iyon para hindi tumabing sa mukha ko.

"Give me your birthday present to make up with this mess…" bulong niya sa akin.

"Nasa living room iyon. You just want a different present for me," sagot ko dahil imposibleng hindi niya pa rin nakikita iyong regalo ko sa kaniya. Nandoon iyon sa center table kasama iyong ibang mga regalo para sa kaniya.

"You put it inside a paper bag. Alam ko na ang laman noon, it's beautiful but you see, I want something more special!" Bahagya niya akong inalog kaya napatili ako.

"Hey hey, you two. Kung balak niyong maglambingan, huwag kayo rito sa kusina," saway sa amin ni Kuya Jin.

"Bakit ba kasi ganoon mag-isip iyong girlfriend mo, Kuya? What does she think of me? A five-year old?" nakangusong sabi ni Jimin, humiwalay na sa akin sa wakas.

Nagtaas ako ng kilay sa kaniya dahil parang nakikita ko na nga kung bakit naisip ng girlfriend ni Kuya Jin ang ganitong klaseng birthday party para kay Jimin. I was skeptical about this earlier but it seemed like it was just right and accurate for someone like Jimin Park.

"Admit it, you like this kind of party than the grand party your parents would have thrown for you.  Panigudarong magmumukha ka na namang debutante…"

Nakitawa ako nang sabay na humalakhak si Kuya Jin at iyong girlfriend ni Taehyung pero nang makita kong nagpakawala si Jimin ng malalim na buntong-hininga ay inalis ko ang gloves na suot ko saka marahang hinawakan ang magkabilang pisngi niya.

"My present for you west, later, I promise…"

Tinulungan niya akong tapusin iyong cupcakes na ginagawa ko para sa kaniya. Alam ko namang hindi dahil birthday niya kaya siya pumayag na magsama-sama kami ngayon dito. If I knew, he just missed his friends that he would go along with whatever they had planned for him since it wasn't very often for us to see each other like this. Pare-pareho na kaming mga busy, kahit kami ni Jimin ay hindi rin naman madalas magkita.

Nagta-trabaho na ako sa U-Co. office sa Makati at nasa Manila itong suite niya maging ang office niya. Suwerte na ang magkasama kami buong weekends. Tuwing anniversaries ay talagang naglalaan kami ng oras para sa isa't isa maging sa mga planned dates namin. It was either I would go here in Manila or he would drive to Makati for me, though madalas talaga kami rito sa Manila.

Nang matapos kami sa kusina ay lumabas na kami. Properly decorated na ang buong living room, may kalakihan ang center table kaya nagkasya roon ang mga pagkaing dala nila. Mayroon na ring cake doon, round chocolate cake iyon at may sulat na simpleng 'Happy Birthday, Jimin!' sa gitna. Nakapuwesto na rin sila sa paligid ng center table.

Taehyung sat in a bean bag, his legs wide opened where his kind and beautiful girlfriend chose to sit. Ganoon din sina Kuya Namjoon pati iyong girlfriend niyang pumapangalawa sa girlfriend ni Kuya Jin sa kalokohan. Kuya Hoseok and Lao settled a little bit far away from the center table as they had the single couch drag near the TV, may nginunguya ng hotdog si Lao at nagkalat na ang ketchup sa gilid ng mga labi niya. Si Kuya Yoongi at ang girlfriend naman niya ay nanatili sa long couch na pinupuwestuhan nila kanina pero gising na si Kuya Yoongi.

Jungkook was not here, he was still in Korea but his friendship with Jimin somehow managed to get through. Sabi ni Jimin ay bumati na raw ito kagabi sa kaniya pero hindi makakapunta dahil nasa huling taon na ito ng MBA nito. Kung minsan naman ay bumibisita siya rito at nagbabakasyon.

Kuya Namjoon's girl instantly handed me a party hat the moment Jimin and I were properly seated on the other single couch. Nagkasya kami roon dahil  sa pagitan ng mga hita niya ako umupo. I just had my legs pressed together since I was wearing a slitted dress.

Hindi ako tinantanan ng matalim na tingin ng girlfriend ni Kuya Namjoon kaya wala akong nagawa kung hindi ang suotin ang party hat na ibinigay niya. Pumalakpak siya pagkatapos na ikinangiti ng boyfriend niya.

Nang lumabas si Kuya Jin mula sa kusina dala ang kanina niya pang pinagkaka-abalahan ay nagsimula na ang party.

We messily and loudly sang a birthday song for Jimin, Lao clapping happily with us before we started digging at the foods they brought. Sa Beef Pesto ni Kuya Jin ako bumawi dahil masarap ang pagkakaluto niya, as always. Nagbukas na rin sila ng isang brandy at kahit pa todo-saway ang mga lalaki sa mga girlfriend nila na dahan-dahan sa pag-inom, no can do dahil mukhang balak talaga nilang magpaka-wasted ngayong araw.

"Aish, why don't you be like Fraye for a day, you troublemaker!" inis na sabi ni Kuya Jin nang wala siyang nagawa matapos maagaw ng pasaway niyang girlfriend ang basong may lamang alak mula sa kaniya. He helplessly watched as she stubbornly took it in one gulp, proudly raising the glass after.

"You won't like me if I was her, old guy!"

I smirked at Kuya Jin seeing how he was obviously having a hard time handling his girlfriend. Sa isang banda ay masama na ang tinging ipinupukol ni Taehyung sa girlfriend niyang mukhang hindi na rin mapipigilan sa pag-inom.

The loud girl obviously wasn't used to drinks like this, she was all but an oblivious woman when it came to stuff like this. She was the type of protect-at-all-cost woman. Tanga si Taehyung kung maiisipan man niyang saktan ang girlfriend niya.

Kuya Yoongi was having no problem with Fraye at all because the young innocent girl had always been so behave and proper. Sabagay, kung ako nga naman siya, takot ko lang din gumawa ng kalokohan sa harap ni Kuya Yoongi.

Wala na rito sa living room si Kuya Hoseok at Lao dahil kailangan nang patulugin ni Kuya Hoseok ang bata, isa pa, nag-iinuman na kami kaya hindi na siya puwede rito. We had guest rooms here so it wouldn't be a problem if they would spend the night here, but I was sure, that wasn't how Jimin wanted to spend our night.

Prente akong sumandal kay Jimin habang bahagyang sumisimsim sa sarili kong baso. Kusang pumulupot ang isang braso niya sa balikat ko bago ko maramdaman ang malambot niyang labi sa noo ko.

"Same goes for you, east," he softly whispered me. Inayos niya ang party hat ko dahil bahagyang nagulo nang hinalikan niya ako.

Dahan-dahan akong tumango. "Don't worry, isang baso lang…" sagot ko saka inisang tungga ang laman ng baso ko, ang agarang pagdaan ng pait sa lalamunan ko ang nagpangiwi sa akin pero nginisian niya lang ako.

He looked so proud.

"What? No girl will be sober enough to walk before this day ends! The boys can drink or not, but we, girls, we're going to be wasted!" Nag-abot ng isa pang baso ng alak sa akin ang girlfriend ni Kuya Namjoon. Sinubukan iyong agawin ni Kuya Namjoon kaya nakatanggap siya ng sapak sa girlfriend niya.

Uh, she really was a sadist based from what Kuya Namjoon had been telling Jimin over the phone.

"It's fine, I have my own glass. Kukuha na lang—"

"Nangangalay na ako! Just take the glass, girl!" She urged me, drawing the glass near me so I would take it.

Wala akong nagawa kung hindi ang tanggapin ang baso at magpasalamat. Narinig ko pa si Jimin na bumulong pero hindi ko na iyon pinansin pa dahil ininom ko na iyong laman ng baso. Nang ma-ibaba ko iyon ay isang proud na ngiti ang ibinigay sa akin ng girlfriend ni Namjoon saka siya nakipag-apir sa girlfriend ni Kuya Jin samantalang nahuli ng mga mata ko ang pag-iiwas ng tingin sa akin ng girlfriend ni Taehyung.

I even saw them hand a glass of beer to Fraye but Kuya Yoongi was quick to take it, drinking it bottoms up.

"You all know she's not allowed to drink under my watch," Kuya Yoongi said that shut the two girls up.

The celebration continued as we all went along in watching a cartoon movie with Fraye, naiwan iyon kanina ni Lao at walang nag-abalang ilipat. Hindi ko alam kung lasing na ba ako dahil nakakaramdam na ako ng hilo, wala pang limang baso ang naiinom ko. I had high alcohol tolerance, I also knew how to limit myself and five glasses of alcohol weren't enough to send me out of the sober state.

Wala sa sariling na-ipaypay ko ang kamay ko sa leeg ko habang hinahawi ang buhok ko dahil sa biglaang pag-iinit ng katawan ko. Hindi pa nakatulong na nakayakap mula sa likod ko si Jimin kaya pakiramdam ko, sinusunog ang balat ko.

My comfortable dress earlier became too tight and hot for me. Ngumuso ako saka humugot ng malalim na buntong-hininga, marahang hinila paalis sa ulo ko ang suot kong party hat.

Mukhang napansin ni Jimin ang nangyayari sa akin kaya tinulungan niya ako sa paghawi ng buhok ko.

"What's wrong?" he softly asked me.

"I-It's h-hot…" sagot ko.

Mabilis na nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya, saglit na natoon doon ang mga mata ko bago bumaba patungo sa mga labi niya ang tingin ko. I hardly pursed my lips as I lifted myself up, clutching at his shirt and twisting my body so I was facing him, my lips were desperate to kiss his lips.

I didn't know what was wrong with me. Init na init ako, gusto kong maghubad pero mas nangingibabaw ang biglaang pagkakagising ng libido ko kaya kahit na alam kong nasa living room kami at kasama ang mga kaibigan niya ay sinubukan kong abutin ang zipper ng dress ko sa likod.

"Hey, hey, east! What are you… doing?"

"Soft! My dress! Zip it down!" I frustratedly screamed, calling Soft for help when I couldn't reach my back since the zip was at the deeper part of my back.

"Sure, sure!" natatawang sagot niya. "You won't remember this tomorrow anyway."

"The fvck, what is this?!" Narinig ko ang galit na sigaw ni Jimin kaya habang nararamdaman kong ibinababa ni Soft ang zipper ng damit ko ay muli akong yumuko sa kaniya at hinalikan siya. His lips at first were responsive, not until I managed to place myself on top of his lap, the straps of my dress loosely falling off my shoulder to reveal my bare upper body since I wasn't wearing a brassiere. Mabilis niya akong niyakap saka siya muling nagpakawala ng marahas na mura.

I was too out of my mind to even think why would he curse when I just wanted to make love to him the very instance.

"Fvck, don't look! Don't fvcking look!" He angrily growled as he fixed me in his arms, surely, he wasn't talking to me. "Guys, please, tell me what's happening?" Jimin's voice was almost begging as I started kissing on his neck again since my hands were already banned from moving.

"I have no idea! Soft." Kuya Jin's warning voice was almost inaudible in my ears as my whole universe was focused on my aching core and burning libido.

"Well, naisip naming mga babae na bigyan ka ng regalong paniguradong magugustuhan mo. It's Hannan, no doubt but we have to make sure you two would be unaware about it… so a single pill of Aphrodisiac was… yeah, surprise! Happy birthday, Jimin!"

Soft's evil laugh resounded around the house together with Kuya Namjoon's girl's loud laugh as I was almost tearing up because of so much burning feels within me, it needed an immediate attention.
