Secretly Married

Chapter 2

Yerin's POV

"How was the family dinner?"

Naupo ako sa sofa, katapat ng sofa na inuupuan niya. "I thought you have a performance today" imbis na sagutin siya, yan ang nasabi ko.

"Yah, kakarating ko lang" he responded. Well obviously, suot niya parin yung damit sinuot niya ata sa performance nila at naka-make-up parin siya. "So, how's the family dinner?" Tanong nya ulit.

"It goes well naman although Ate Rosie makes the mood complicated" I answered.

"What do you mean?" He curiously asked.

"They're hoping for a baby from us"

Bigla naman siyang natahimik sandali. I can feel na parang na-mental block siya saglit. "Tsk they already know that we're not capable of doing that."

"We're capable of doing that... We just don't want to..." Pansin ko ang pagkahinto ng paningin niya sakin. We're already 23 years old now, do you think we're not capable of having s*x? Ofcourse we are, but we're just mature enough that we don't want to do that simply because we don't love each other. I look at him and say- "Simply because we don't love each other"

"So, what did you respond to them?"

" I told them that we're too busy for that"

"And then?" Alam niyo yung feeling na parang gusto niyang alamin ang buong pangyayare sa family dinner kanina. Tss, he should have attend nalang sana para di na ako mag story telling.

Kinuwento ko nalang sakanya ang mga sinabi ni Ate Rosie para matahimik na siya.

"Anyway, kaya napunta duun ang usapan dahil ibinalita ni Mommy na buntis si Ate Emily"

"What?" Agad naman siyang natuwa sa sinabi ko "Really?"

"Mmm I guess that's one of the reason why they set that family dinner"

Nanghinayang naman siya " I feel bad for not coming" he said. "I should call her" saka niya dinampot ang cellphone nyang nasa lamesa.

"Yeah, I'll go upstairs first" sabi ko saka iniwan siya sa sala.

Kakatapos lang maligo ni Taehyun nang lumabas siya sa banyo. Punas-punas niya pa ulo niya.

"Taehyun" I called him.

"Mmm?"

"Mommy hoping you to finish studying" I said while looking at my laptop, reading my research paper.

Matagal bago niya ko sinagot. "I'll think about it after the disbandment" he said then lay to bed.

"Disbandment? Do you think your group will disband after finishing the contract?" This time, tumingin nako sakanya.

"Why?" Tumingin din sya sakin.

"TXT is getting popular, what if maisipan ng group nyo na mag-sign ulit ng another contract?" I asked.

"If that will going to be the group decision then I'll respect and follow it"

"Taehyun." Medyo tumaas ang boses ko kaya naman mas natuun ang tingin niya sakin. Sometimes, mga ganitong topic kami nagtatalo. "Don't tell me you want to be a Kpop Idol all your life?"

"Why not? That's what I'd love to do" he said as if he didn't hear anything from me.

Natahimik naman ako.

"Don't worry, okay? I'll deal with Mom."

I can't deny that I'm not worried. I'm just worried because Mommy's worried about it. "Can't you just continue studying while working as an Idol?" I asked.

"Mahirap pagsabayin ang pagtatrabaho at pag-aaral, Yerin" he answered looking at his cellphone.

Tss, alam ko namang mahirap yun eh. I can't really convince him to continue his studying now.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at ibinalik ang tuon ko sa laptop.

Maya-maya narinig kong may tumawag sakanya.

"Oh Soobin hyung" Taehyun said.

[Hyung means older brother in Korean]

"Taehyun nasayo ba ang earphone ko?" I heard Soobin asked on the other line. Naka-loudspeaker.

"Earphone? Ah sorry I forgot to return it kanina" Taehyun explains.

"Make sure to return it tomorrow, okay? Tsaka buy your own earphone na..." Sabi ni Soobin.

"Arrasseo..." Si Taehyun.

['Arrasseo' means 'Okay' in Korean]

"Anyway, nandiyan ba si Yerin? Kumusta na siya?" I heard Soobin asked.

"Yeah, there she is... Yerin, your on the camera" Taehyun called.

Tumingin naman ako, nakita kong nakatutok sakin ang cellphone ni Taehyun. Doon ko napagtantong nagvi-video call pala sila.

"Hi Soobin" bahagya akong kumaway. "Okay naman ako, medyo busy lang sa research paper namin. Ikaw?" I said.

"Okay lang din naman... Good luck sa research paper nyo. And take care always ha" I can only hear his voice but can't see his reaction. Taehyun used his back camera para ipakita makita ako ni Soobin.

I flash a smile. "Thank you, Ikaw din"

Yun lang at nagpaalam na siya saka binaba ang tawag.

"Kundi lang talaga dahil sa mga ka-members mo, hindi ako magiging fan ng TXT" sabi ko.

"Your not a fan." Direktang komento niya.

"Eh?" sabay napatingin ako sakanya.

"How can you call yourself a MOA when you don't even listen to our song?" He explained.

[MOA ang tawag sa fans ng TXT]

"I just don't have time to listen" reason ko. Actually, hindi talaga ako mahilig makinig ng music. Masyado ko lang kaseng pinu-focus ang sarili ko sa mga bagay na ginagawa ko. Let's say that I'm not just fond of listening to music unlike many others who used to listen to music when doing something. I'd rather listen to some informative speech.

"And because of that, you don't deserve to be called a MOA, tsk" he said.

Whatever. Hindi na ako makikipagtalo sakanya. Siya naman talaga ang nakakaalam kung sino-sino ang mga deserve na tawaging MOA.

Maybe he's right, that I'm not really a fan of them. I just got to knew them because they're Taehyun's co-members and I just got the chance to talk and be close with them.

Surprisingly, the TXT's manager and TXT other members knew that Taehyun is already a married man. That's why Soobin asked for me because he knew me as Taehyun's wife. Aside from that, the other members also knew that there's nothing between us, I mean, Wala naman talaga kaming pagtingin sa isa't isa ni Taehyun.

Actually, nagbalak talaga ang Manager ng TXT na alisin si Taehyun sa group nung nalaman niyang kasal na si Taehyun. But the other members beg their Manager na wag alisin si Taehyun. Even me, personally met their Manager to beg for it, that time. Let's say that I'm not a fan of TXT or I don't even support Taehyun as an idol but I don't want Taehyun to get in trouble because of me. Nalaman din ng parents namin ang tungkol duun kaya naman pati sila ay naki-usap sa Manager, just to protect Taehyun's dream.

To make the story short. Pumayag si Manager N na wag ng alisin si Taehyun sa group at nag-decide na itago nalang ang katotohanang kasal si Taehyun. In warning, we need to be careful na walang ibang makakaalam lalo na ang mga mapanirang reporter or paparazzi. That's why kapag pumupunta or umuuwi ako galing school, sa back door ng bahay ako dumadaan just to avoid any trouble.

Ang alam ng lahat, mag-isang nakatira si Taehyun sa bahay niya kasama ang iilang body guards. Well sino nga naman ang mag-aakalang may kasama pala siyang babaeng nakatira sa kaniyang bahay at ang masaklap, asawa niya pala.

"Good morning students!" our Gay Teacher greeted as he entered the room.

"Good morning po" bati naman namin.

"Actually, tapos na tayo sa mga lesson na kailangang i-discuss. So, ngayong Pre-finals ay magfo-focus tayo sa pag-eenhance ng skills niyo bilang mga make-up artist. Alam ko naman na marunong at magagaling na kayong mag-apply ng make-up." compliment nya pa samin. "Pero hindi tayo titigil dun, shempre kailangan nyo paring mag make-up ng mag make-up para mas gumaling pa kayo. Preliminary palang ninyo ay nag request kami sa iba't ibang company na gamitin kayo as their make-up artist to enhance your skills." Mahinahong paliwanag niya.

Teacher Anz was talking about a company who does need make-up artists for their artists (idols).

"Ofcourse pinakita namin sakanila ang mga works niyo mula pa nung mag 2nd year palang kayo. And yes, hanggang ngayon ay sinusubaybayan parin nila ang mga gawa ninyo." Teacher Anz said.

We didn't know na pinapakita pala nila ang mga make-up namin. I mean, nung 1st year, nag pa-practice kami maglagay ng make-up sa mga mukha ng dolls. Tapos nung 2nd year naman ay sa totoong mukha na talaga ng tao.

Vini-vedio-han kami habang nag a-apply ng make-up. They said that they're going to make a documentary about it but we didn't know na ipapakita nila iyon sa mga company na pinag-request-an nila.

"Fortunately, may mga company ng tumawag samin at alam niyo na... Gusto nilang maging make-up artist nila kayo for the meantime. But that doesn't mean na i-hired nila kayo as their make-up artist. Syempre, magiging make-up artist nila kayo dahil gusto nating i-enhance ang mga skills ninyo. This time we will going to make our make-up skills more productive." -Teacher Anz.

As you can see, I'm taking the Cosmetology Course and I'm in 3rd year College now. At first, I just love different kinds of colors but I didn't know that it would lead to something like applying make-up.

Masyado akong na-aamaze sa mga taong me make-up to the point na gusto ko narin maging make-up artist. At hindi na nga nagbago yun, it became my dream career.

Na-aamaze lang din ako kung paano binabago ng make-up ang isang tao. Sometimes, make-up can make a person confident about themselves.

"Oh my God, are we in Bighit Company right now?" Aria exclaimed as we got out from van.

Walang sumagot sakanya dahil obvious naman kung saan kami. Yeah we're at the Bighit Company right now. Teacher Anz said that they'll assign us to each company who approved our request and we, students will be going to be their make-up artist for the meantime.

Bighit was one of the companies who approved our request but I didn't expect that I'll be assigned here. Obviously, kaya kami nandito dahil dito kami i-aasign ni Teacher Anz.

"We're here" Teacher Anz said as he opened the door we approached.

Pumasok na kaming lahat sa room. At first sight, it's a room kung saan mini make-up-an at inaayusan ang mga artists (Idols).

May iilang tao sa room at nagulat ako nang makita si Taehyun kasama ang mga ka-members niya.
