Capítulo 7: Chapter 6: Honest Mistake
We've been standing and watching the Yujin's game for more than two hours. Nalipasan na nga ako ng gutom. Kahit si Allan ay sumuko na rin at iniwanan na muna ako para kumain saglit.
I've noticed that Yujin is avoiding me. Halos ayaw niya tumingin sa akin o sa lugar kung nasaan ako. Am I a sore in his eyes? Dahil sa sobrang tagal at haba ng laban, isa-isa nang nag aalisan ang mga nanonood at naglipatan sa kabilang table. Iilan na lang kaming matyagang naka antabay sa laban. Karamihan dito ay ka-miyembro ng mga manlalarong naglalaban.
We were all busy watching and cheering when Paul, also known as ACEofSPADE appeared.
"Where have you been?" He grabbed my arm tightly and pulls me closer to him. "I've been looking all over for you. You left without even telling me where you are going," he furiously said. His voice was so loud making everyone around turns their heads on us.
"Sorry, I'm just looking for my friends," I replied and bow down my head. I really feel embarrassed in the way he is treating me in front of the public.
Paul looked around and saw Daredevil, playing cards in the table. Yujin was darting his eyes at him. I can feel the intensity of the look in their eyes. "Let's go!" Paul said.
"Wait, the game is not over yet!" I told him.
"It will never be over! Knowing Daredevil, he never stops playing until he runs out of challenger. Believe me, there's no way of stopping him. Gambling is his life!"
We were about to leave when Yujin stops playing and stood up from his chair...
"ACEofSPADE, leaving so soon? Don't you wanna play a game with me?" he teases him.
Paul turned around and replied, "sounds tempting, but no thanks. I got a date to attend to!" He grins, looks at me, and winked.
After saying those words, he put his arms around me, then we started to walk away from the crowd. I immediately removed his hands away from me. I don't want people to get the wrong idea about me and Paul and I don't want Yujin to think that I like Paul. Mahirap na baka ma-issue ang dami pa namang chismoso at chismosa.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you being so difficult?" He started to sound irritated. Bigla niyang hinablot ang aking braso at kinaladkad palayo sa mga tao.
"I'm not... I'm just not comfortable being touched," I explained to him. He continues to drag me into an isolated area.
"Well, we agreed that you will be my date for tonight," he exclaimed. "Whatever happens to our date is all part of the deal!"
"Whatever happens? What do you mean by that?" I confusedly ask. Suddenly memories flashback in mind. I remember the day DareDevil warned me about AceofSPADE doesn't want to settle on just a date. My temper sparked. "I never agreed on any physical contact with you, we just agreed on a date and that's it!"
I don't like where this conversation is taking us, I tried to push him away, so I can escape from him, but Paul grabbed my hand and dragged me far from the crowd. Sinubukan ko magpumiglas, pero sadyang napakalakas niya. Puno ng takot at kaba ang aking nadarama ng mga sandaling iyon.
He grasped my hand so tight, I felt my wrist was about to break. I tried to escape from his grip, but it was too tight. He was walking so fast that I couldn't keep up with him.
"Let go of me, please you're breaking my wrist, it really hurts!" I cried out loud trying to take my hands off him.
"Then don't be so stubborn, be a good girl, and do what I say!"
As soon as we reached the exit, he then tries to hug and kiss me. Ang bilis ng mga kamay niyang gumapang sa aking katawan at sinusubukang hawakan ang maseselang parte ng aking katawan. Wala akong magawa kung hindi ang umiyak sa sobrang takot sa kaniya.
I wanted to escape. I kept pushing him back as hard as I could, but he was very strong. I cried out for help, but we were far away from everyone else and the music is too loud, nobody can hear me. I feel so hopeless, helpless, and scared.
Frustration is taking over me. I tried everything I could, slapped him, punch him, pushed him away. Until I stepped on his foot and his grip loosens a bit. I thought that was my chance to escape. I push him as hard as I could and attempt to run away, but he was so fast and grabbed me back to him. I was crying and begging him to let me go. He doesn't listen until someone pulled him away from me and punch him so hard. Paul was startled. Things happen so fast, he was not able to react to the unknown man's punch and fell hard on the ground.
It was so dark. I can barely see who punches Paul. The man was standing against the light. Even though I don't know who he is, I run to him crying. I felt no fear for him, but relief. I was about to come closer, then I realized that the mysterious man was Yujin, he came to rescue me.
"Are you debt or just plain stupid? She said no, so stay away from her," he said in a deep-toned voice while looking at his prey. This is the first time I saw the other side of Yujin. His dark side is like a vortex of anger swirled inside him. I'm afraid that with one wrong move of Paul, this place will turn into a bloodbath.
"Of course, It's Yujin a.k.a Daredevil. Always meddling with my affairs," Paul said. He wipes away the blood in his lips and tries to get up, but his knees were shaking. He's too weak and dizzy to get up.
"Your date is over... LOLLIPOP let's go!" Yujin commanded me.
"Ah... my name is Me'ann," I shyly said.
"It doesn't matter!" he replied.
Sheyt! Ang suplado, pahiya ako! Minsan ko nang pinangarap ang eksenang ito. Kung saan pag aagawan ako ng dalawang gwapo. Lagi kong ini-imagine na ang saya siguro at nakakatuwa kapag nagtatalo ang dalawang lalaki makamit lang ang pag ibig ko. Ganoon kasi ang nakikita ko sa mga koreanovela at palabas sa pelikula. Pero bakit parang hindi masarap sa pakiramdam ang nangyayari ngayon? Sa tingin ko sa tindi ng alitan ng dalawa na sa higit na pag agawan nila ako ay baka ako pa ang mapagbuntunan ng galit nila. Baka ako pa ang mabugbog. Nakakatakot ang awra ng dalawang ito. Ayaw ko naman mamagitan at maging referee nila at kawawa naman ang katawang lupa ko.
"You won't get away with this, I'll make sure you'll pay for this!"
"Sure! I'd like to see you try!"
Yujin held my hand and together, we walk out of the basement and head to the corridor. I thought I was safe because I'm with him and he rescued me from Paul. When we reached the corridor, he looked around to see if there are no other people aside from me.
After he ensures that we are alone, he pushes me towards the corridor's wall. My back hits the wall, then he slams both of his hands so hard on the wall, causing a huge vibration that shakes all the ornaments that are hanging from it.
I thought that he would hit me, but he just trapped me between his arms with my back pinned against the wall. The painting that was hanging on the wall almost fell from the impact of his hand. He is so scary I almost peed myself. He's scarier than Paul.
Yujin was blinded with rage. I don't even know whether he really doesn't like Paul or is it because he cares for me that much? One thing is for sure, he was trying to hold back his emotions and his best to stay calm.
"I told you not to accept the bet!" his voice almost hit the ceiling with anger. "But no, you're too proud, too confident and stubborn. Your pride is larger than your head and where did that leads you? You almost got rape! Stupid girl!"
His slanted eyes got bigger when he's mad. He looks cuter this way. Wait, hold on! I shouldn't be acting this way. Pinapagalitan na nga ako naiisip ko pa ang humarot! Charot!
"I'm sorry, Yujin," I softly said.
"I told you he will not settle with just a date and still you on a date with him! Have you lost your mind or you never had a brain, to begin with? What if I'm not there, I am not always there to look after each and every one of you!" he keeps on talking and lecturing me.
Ganito pala siya magalit sa personal, gigil na gigil parang gusto manakit pero halatang nagpipigil. Kahit nakakunot ang noo nya at magkasalubong ang kilay hindi siya nakakatakot tulad ng aking inaakala. Ay ano ba 'tong inisip ko sa higit na nakikinig ako sa lintanya niya, inuuna ko pa ang pagharot! Charot ulit!
"I'm sorry I was wrong it's my fault!"
I was touched by his concern, I never thought he can be that kind man. I thought that all he ever cares about was the game, but he left the game to come to my rescue. I just can't help myself but burst into tears. Not because he is mad at me but because he noticed me. Ang haba ng hair ko ang sarap iwagayway.
When he saw me crying he toned down his voice.
"Are you hurt? Did he do something? Do you have some scratches by any chance?" he flooded me with so many questions. "You should have listened to me, when will you ever listen to what I say, you are always so stubborn," he calmly said.
"I said I'm sorry!"
He looked at me one more time and when he confirmed that I am okay he said, "since you're not hurt, I will take my leave." Just like that. Suplado talaga.
Tatalikod na sana siya nang bigla siyang humarap muli sa akin.Nagulat na lang ako ng bigla siyang tumungo papalapit sa akin. Papalit siya ng papalapit hanggang sa halos magkadikit na ang aming mukha.
"Could it be that he is trying to kiss me? Should I dodge it? But how can I? He's so close to me. In my heart, I really want to kiss him too!" I said to myself. Biglang bumilis ang pintig at lumakas ang tunog ng tibok ng aking puso. Nakaramdam ako ng panginginig sa aking buong katawan hindi sa takot kung hindi sa sobrang kilig. "Ano ba Me'ann, bilisan mo naman mag -isip. Mag-iinarte ka pa ba? Sayang naman ang moment na ito. Baka magtampo ang grasya kapag tinanggihan mo!" Para akong baliw na nakikipag talo sa sarili.
Until I came up with a decision. I will just consider it as a reward for rescuing me. I cupped his face with both hands, close my eyes, and here goes nothing...
I kissed him passionately which lasted for about three to four seconds. When I opened my eyes, he was just staring at me with a straight face.
"Am I not a good kisser? I thought I did well. My ex-boyfriend used to tell me before that I'm a good kisser. Why did Yujin give me a straight face? Sheyt! Is he using his poker face to hide his feelings for me? Did he not enjoyed it or did I become too aggressive that I should have let him kiss me first?" Halos mabaliw ako kakaisip kung ano ang mali sa ginawa ko. Feeling ko talaga ang galing ko humalik.
Yujin has remained calm, he just stared at me with his blank face. Until he began to lean towards me once again. I don't want to make the same mistake again, so I just stay still. To my surprise, he was just trying to remove the hanging ornament that was tangled in his sleeves.
I was too embarrassed. I thought he was trying to kiss me, but I misunderstood his action. I was so shocked that my face heated and immediately turned red. Sa sobrang kahihiyan ay naitulak ko siya ng malakas at nagtatakbo ako papalayo sa kaniya.
I went back to my room and stayed there for the rest of the event. Bakit ko ba ginawa iyon? Masyado akong nag-assume na gusto niya akong halikan. Ito na siguro ang pinaka-embarassing experience ko. I never intended to take advantage of the situation... it was a big misunderstanding and an HONEST MISTAKE.
