Eunwoo's POV

Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan ang kwintas na hawak-hawak ko. It has a crescent moon pendant, that symbolizes my admiration towards her.

(ctto found it on Pinterest)

When I first met her, I was mesmerized. She was so simple yet she looks beautiful. Nakasuot siya ng  itim na sweatshirt, darkwash jeans at sneakers, napaka simple pero napaka lakas ng dating niya. Hindi ko na matandaan kung ilang beses nagtama ang mga mata namin nung araw na iyon.

"Nice to meet you" I said smiling while staring at her eyes. "likewise" she answered.

Her honey colored eyes are piercing, it's full of mixed emotions. The more you stare at it, the more you get curious about what she's going through. And the more I stare at her, the more I get captivated by her.

I remember how she held my hands that day, hindi ko alam kung naramdaman din ba niya, pero I felt it. I felt the spark between us.I wasn't sure at first, but when she held my hands  I was sure that I like her.

Ilang linggo ko ding pinag-isipan kung kukunin ko ba kay Jungkook ang cellphone number niya o magpapatulong ba ako sa kanya. But I don't want to be awkward so I just dropped the idea.I told myself that if I didn't see her that day. I would just give up. But then Heavens must be listening to me that day.

Natawa ako nang maalala ang muling pagkikita namin. She was so cute apologizing for that spilled smoothie.

I'm glad that it happened, because if not I wouldn't be here smiling like an idiot while reminiscing about the past.

When I asked her out before, she declined a million times. But dahil sa kakulitan ko napapayag ko din siya. She agreed to go out with me. God knows how happy I am that day! I was on cloud nine. Pero nagulat ako sa sinabi niya nung nagkita kami. She told me she was pregnant at kagagaling lang niya sa break up at hindi pa siya handang makipag-date. I was really shocked, literally. She told me to stop whatever I was planning to do, because she doesn't want to hurt me.

I was also surprised at myself, for showing up at her doorstep the next day telling her I'm willing to wait till she's ready.

I remembered the look on her face, she looked at me like I was joking. But I told her to give me a shot. She said she can only offer friendship.

I was with her throughout her pregnancy, and I couldn't be more happier to be by her side. Nakita ko kung pano siya malungkot, kung pano siya umiyak, kung paano siya tumawa at sumaya sa maliit at simpleng mga bagay. I witnessed her moodswings and food cravings.

And day by day I got to know her little by little. And that made me like her even more.

We got close, Im even close to her bestfriend, Yareli. And her family. Her family is really welcoming,iniisip ko pa nga siguro ganito din ang trato nila sa ex niya? Napakatanga naman nung ex niya to let go of her. I saw how much they love her, lalong lalo na ang kuya niya. Kuya Kayden doesn't like me at first, he even warned me.

He warned me to stop what I'm doing if I'm just gonna leave her at the end. And I told him my intentions were pure. I'm glad that okay na kami.

I wanted to show her off to my friends but she told me to keep our 'friendship' a secret from Jungkook. I don't know why but she told me it was for the best.

And one thing that I'm curious about is that, no one ever talks about her ex. She never mentions his ex's name or open up a conversation about him. Even Yareli and her family doesn't talk about him. Maybe because he never called or texted her? he never tried to reach out to her.

I really don't know the story about their break up, Ayoko namang isipin niyang chismoso ako. All I know is that they ended things because the guy chose his dreams over her. And that she never got the chance to tell him about her pregnancy.

Napapaisip tuloy ako kung si Jungkook ba yung ex niya. Pero I know that's impossible, kasi napag-uusapan naman namin siya. I just don't know why she wanted to keep it a secret from him.

"Huy! anong ngini-ngiti mo jan?"

Speaking of the devil. Tumingin ako sa kanya at ngumiti, ipinakita ko ang hawak kong kwintas sa kanya.

"Woah! That's a unique one" sabi ni Taehyung Hyung na hindi ko namalayang kasama pala ni Jungkook.

"I hope she'll love it" Bulong ko, ibinalik ko ang kwintas sa kahon nito at inilagay yon sa bag ko.

"She'll definitely love it for sure" sagot niya at tinapik ako sa balikat.

"Thanks hyung!"

Nagpaalam na ako sa kanilang lahat para umalis.

"Goodluck!!" sigaw nila.

"Fighting!" sabi ni Taehyung hyung.

Nginitian ko sila ng huling beses tsaka lumabas.

"Do you really need to stay here alone with baby Celine?" tanong ko sa kanya habang tinitignan ang kabuuan ng bahay niya.

Ngumiti siya at inilapag ang hawak niyang tray na naglalaman ng dalawang baso ng juice.

"Hmmm... Kung hindi lang maselan yung pagbubuntis ko hindi naman ako babalik kina daddy, kase ayaw ko silang abalahin" sabi niya sabay inom sa juice niya.

Babalik na kasi siya dito sa sarili niyang bahay, plano niyang mag New Year dito pero sabi ng  Daddy niya na dapat magkakasama sila sa bagong taon.

"I'm sure they'll visit everyday" sabi ko.

"Sinabi mo pa, mom doesn't want me to come back here yet. Pero ayaw kong maging pabigat sa kanila---" inilapag niya ang baso niya tsaka ngumiti.

"And besides dadalaw rin naman kami don sa bahay"

"Can I come over here too?" she rolled her eyes and smiled.

"ofcourse, anytime. Baliw ka ba? open na open ka nga sa bahay namin. Dito pa kaya?" tumawa siya and I can't help but stare at her.

"Do you want to see Celine's Room?" tanong niya.

Pumunta kami sa taas at dumiretso sa nursery ni Celine. It was a purple room with white furnitures. Katulad din ng room niya sa shop.And it was adjacent to Kara's room  I guess.

"I will trust and love you for a long time" basa ko sa naka frame na quote na nasa wall.

"someone told me that's the meaning of the color purple" saad niya habang inaayos ang mga stuff toys at iba pang mga laruan.

"You really love the color purple huh?"

"It's the last color of the rainbow" she shrugged, she was smiling but her eyes tell a different story, the sadness in her eyes is visible.

Naglakad ako papunta sa shelf, may mga pictures si Kara don nung buntis siya, at nung baby shower niya. Naka frame din ang Ultrasound niya. Pati na ang pregnancy kit ay nakalagay sa clear na box.

Something caught my eye on the lower shelf. It was BTS's album and lightstick.

"Regalo yan ni Yareli" sabi niya mula sa likuran ko.

I smiled at her. "Do you want our albums too? I can sign them for you" Biro ko. Natawa siya at tumango.

"Free of charge ha" she joked and I nodded.

"May tampuhan o misunderstandings ba kayo ni Jungkook?" I asked out of curiosity. She looked at me and shook her head no.

"Wala naman... Bakit mo natanong?"

"Diba iniinvite ka niya manood ng performances nila? bakit hindi ka pumupunta?"

She sighed and stared at the window.

"Alam mo naman na di ako pinapalabas nila daddy nung buntis ako diba?" humarap siya sa akin at ngumiti. We dropped the topic off and hindi nalang ako nagtanong pa at  itinuloy nalang ang ginagawa namin.

Tinulungan ko siyang ayusin ang mga regalo nung baby shower, at i-baby proof ang bahay just like what she said.

"Ako na" sabi ko sa kanya nung bubuhatin sana niya ang isang box. She was hesitant but she agreed.

"Come" sinundan ko siya and I'm guessing sa kwarto niya ilalagay tong box.

She opened her room and dumiretso sa walk-in closet niya. May binuksan siyang cabinet at sinabing don ko ilagay yung box.

"That's just stuff" sabi niya nung mailapag ko yung box.

Lumabas na kami mula sa walk-in closet niya. Napansin ko naman ang picture frame sa kama niya. Nakapatalikod ito kaya hindi ko alam kung kaninong litrato iyon.

Bumaba na kami at naupo sa couch. "Dapat hindi ka pa lumalabas labas, alam mo namang kapapanganak mo pa lang" sabi ko sa kanya.

"Ngayon lang naman, I just want to make sure na baby proof etong bahay---" she smiled and looked around.

"tsaka I want Celine to feel at home dito" tuloy niya.

"still, buti nalang kasama mo ako. Kung hindi baka nagbuhat ka na ng mga mabibigat" sabi ko ng naka kunot ang noo. She smiled and stared at me.

"Baka matunaw ako ha"

"You're really handsome" she said.Biglang uminit ang mukha ko at nawala ang pagkaka kunot ng noo ko.

"You can't act cute infront of me" sabi ko sa kanya at umiwas ng tingin.

"Oh so now you're telling me I'm cute?" Tanong niya, lumapit siya sakin at iniharap ang mukha ko sa kanya.

"You're not cute" I told her and she just smiled.

"Yah Cha Eunwoo, You already said that Im cute---"

"But you're not"

"I am"

"You're not"

"I am"Lumapit siya sa akin at ngumiti. Napalunok ako, I have to fight my urge to kiss her right now.

" You're not" I pinched her cheeks and she laughed.

"See I am cute---" I cut her of by leaning in and kissing her.

I pulled away realizing what I just did fuck!

Nakatulala lang siya at nakatitig sa akin. "I-I'm sorry" sabi ko.

I was silently cursing myself while driving her home. After realizing what I did. I shouldn't have done that! Pinigilan ko dapat ang sarili ko.

Tahimik lang kaming dalawa sa sasakyan. I wanted to start a conversation pero hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. I was too embarassed.

I don't know if she's mad or what dahil kanina pa siya walang kibo. I wanted to know how she feels, I wanted to apologize.

Itinigil ko ang sasakyan sa harap ng bahay nila, bababa na sa sana ako para pag buksan siya pero pinigilan niya ako.

"Ako na, thanks for accompanying me today" She smiled.

Bumaba na siya, she looked at me through the window. "Don't worry about what you're thinking, we're still good" she said as if she knew I was bothered about it.

"drive safely, Call me when you get home. I'll see you tomorrow." sabi niya ng nakangiti.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil sa sinabi niya. Hindi parin mawala-wala ang mga ngiti ko habang nagmamaneho.
