#pov : you have a lowkey relationship with jeo. your friends know you’re dating someone from palawan, but you never show them an image of your boyfriend. it’s been four months, at nagtatampo na rin ang mga kaibigan mo kasi gusto nilang makilala ito. iniisip din ng mga kaibigan mo kung paano mo ito nakilala, considering you’re living in manila with your whole life—they were a bit confused because they always thought you preferred city boys. akala mo rin—not until you met jeo when you spent your summer break in palawan with your family. “so, kailan namin makikilala ‘yang boyfriend mo?” your friend asked, who has blonde hair. nandito kayo sa isang cafè dahil inaya mo sila, you said you wanted to try this new coffee shop at pumayag naman sila. “ilang buwan mo nang tinatago sa amin ‘yan, iisipin ko na talagang nagbibiro ka lang na may boyfriend.” your other friend stated, who has a short hair. you chuckled, stirring your iced coffee with the straw. “actually, kaya ko nga kayo inaya rito kasi makikita niyo na siya.” their eyes widened, ‘yung isa ay muntik pa mabulunan sa iniinom niya kaya agad mo itong inabutan ng tissue. masama ka niyang tiningnan bago tinanggap ang hawak mo, you smiled at them innocently before taking a sip of your drink. “gaga ka rin, no.” the short-haired wiped her lips and you laughed. your phone buzzed on the table, jeo’s text flashed on your screen. after replying to his text, “nandito na siya.” your friends immediately fixed their posture, asking if they both looked okay and you nodded, stifling a smile because of their actions. you saw the glass door opened, revealing a familiar man who’s now scanning the cafè looking for you. your heart skipped a beat when your eyes locked, lalo itong bumilis nang ngumiti siya sa’yo. jeo walked at your table, wearing his casual outfit and specs. you saw some girls checking him out while whispering to each other, your eyebrows moved a bit as you heard your friends gasped. “hi,” you stood up to hug him, which he immediately reciprocated. “i missed you,” bulong mo. “na-miss din kita,” he whispered, “hinahanap ka nila mama.” you pouted when you heard that, magsasalita ka na sana pero biglang may umubo sa likuran niyo. jeo greeted your friends and you saw them panicking while greeting him back, napairap ka na lang bago natawa. “kaya pala ayaw mong ipakita sa’min ‘yung mukha kasi pinagdadamot,” the blonde stated. “ganda ng taste mo, girl. pinalaki kitang tama.” he took the seat beside you, and your friends bombarded him with questions, mainly about your relationship. while jeo was answering their questions, you ordered some food for him. pagtapos nang mahabang tanungan nila ay kayong magkakaibigan naman ang nag-usap, si jeo ay tahimik namang nakikinig sa inyo habang ang braso niya ay nasa upuan mo. while your friends were talking, completely comfortable around your boyfriend’s presence—you felt a weight on your shoulder. you looked at your side to see jeo resting his head on your shoulder while listening to your friends gossiping. “you okay?” you asked in a low tone, jeo hummed and nodded. he held your hand under the table, rubbing his thumb on your skin. “na-miss lang kita nang sobra,” sabi niya na ikaw lang ang nakakarinig, “dapat si daddy at tito jeryl lang pupunta rito pero nagmakaawa akong sumama para makita ka.” your heart warmed because of his words, you intertwined your fingers on his. “i love you.” naramdaman mong natigilan si jeo kaya tiningnan mo siya, you saw his ears turning red kaya hindi mo mapigilan matawa. natigil na rin ang mga kaibigan mo dahil sa inyo. “wow, may sariling mundo.” pabiro mo silang inirapan bago ipinagpatuloy ang kwentuhan niyo. after a few minutes, jeo tugged the edge of your shirt. “yes?” you hummed at him. ngumuso si jeo bago itinago ang mukha niya sa balikat mo, “gusto na kita ma-solo… uwi na tayo.” #jeoong #jeremiahong #ongfam #fyp - @rakistajeo
