Chapter 117 - Christmas Party 2.0

Jay-jay's POV

Lost!

Right now! Why does it have to disappear now? Where is it?

The roasted chicken is missing! Which animal will take that, while we are busy.

He's so greedy, that's a whole chicken!

"Name call!" Eman shouted, clearly annoyed.

"Call out your name... Anyone who stays silent must be up to something!" Rory exclaimed.

"Jay-jay!" I screamed my name.

"Give it!"

"Rory!" Rory shouted while still raising his hand.

"Edrix!"

"Shhh!" Said the King of snakes.

When did his name become 'tss'?

We ignored that and continued with the name call.

"David..." David said bored.

"Denzel."

"Yuri!"

"____" Josh said that we didn't hear. "...Josh!" Repeating it.

"Blaaaaster!" Blaster yelled and made an explosion gesture.

"Calix the pogi with my Mica baby!"

I winced at what he said. Is that still necessary?

"Felix the cat!"

Why is the name appended?

"The Amazing Eren!"

"Naughty Kit!"

Aba!

"Drew! Barrymore... Hahahaha.."

"May! June! July! August!"

September! October----what is that?

I could almost sing. It's because they're crazy. Are the names connected? But I didn't hear anything in Name Call.

"Where is Ci-N?!" I asked while looking at them one by one.

They both looked around. The crazy is really gone.

He's gone! No roasted chicken!

"CI-N TAKES IT?!" The crazy people shouted at the same time.

They immediately ran to find Ci-N. Some went straight to the kitchen, some ran to the toilet and some left the restaurant and went straight to the parking lot.

But they always returned frustrated in their search.

Where else----"ARAY!"

Something hit my leg while standing. I immediately looked at that which is now on the floor. It wasn't clear to me so I took it to see it properly.

Chicken bones?!

"What's that?" Eman asked.

I confronted him with what I saw. We both looked at each other and seemed to have the same thoughts.

We immediately grabbed the tablecloth of the table, we were still lifting it up at the same time. No way! Ci-N appeared under the table, eating the chicken.

He is the one who took it!

Together we picked him up by the arm and pulled him out from under the table. His mouth is still red from eating.

"Why are you singling out that chicken?!" Eman asked annoyed.

"Hhmmm... Hmmm..." Ci-N said as his mouth was full.

"Oh, Ci! You're a hate factor again!" I said before letting him go.

His fellow snakes look down at him. It's his fault, is it right to run away taking the chicken and eat it alone?

"Please tell us that you didn't just cook one." David said to Eman.

Eman entered the kitchen. I looked back at Ci-N. He swallowed what he had chewed earlier and managed to smile at me.

There's more!

Eman came out following the two crew and they were holding four whole chickens.

Nice! Nice!

"That's fine!"

"Eat again!"

"Country! Country!"

Almost at the same time they clapped for joy. Ci-N was about to approach but I blocked him.

"It's edible, isn't it?"

"Give me more... Please!" He begged while pouting.

I winced. I let him go and take care of his fellow snakes who blocked him.

"Hurry up the food and Yuri will perform for us!" Rory announced.

I looked at Yuri who was currently in front and was fixing the guitar. Because I don't remember that we talked about him performing.

Maybe suddenly.

I returned to the place earlier where I was with Mica. Calix is here as well and they are still having fun.

Maybe these two are ants.

"What are you giving as a gift to what you pulled out?" Calix asked me suddenly.

Hehehe secret!

"I don't want to say... Maybe it's you, the surprise is ruined."

Mica laughed a little. It turns out that she was not involved in that gift. It was late because Calix told us that his girlfriend would be celebrating with us.

Ci-N suddenly came to us. Pouty and teary eyed.

"They fought with me..." He reported, pointing at Mayo.

"Why?"

"They don't want to give me... *Sniff*..." He said and pretended to sniff.

Mica and Calix just laughed at him. It's a sin. That's it, he can't ask anymore.

"I'll get some for you." Mica presided and stood up.

"Nice..." Ci said with a punch in the air.

Look at this person. I really can't say anything. As long as food, everything will be done. Speaking of food, I've been noticing Kit for a while now.

He seems to have no appetite. The food that was in front of him was not reduced either. Then I suddenly remembered the picture on Eren's phone.

My goodness!

I approached him and sat across to him. I looked at him and smiled.

"How are you? Why are you alone?" I asked.

"Nothing... I'm just tired of bothering them," he replied with a smile.

"Sure? No problem? Pain?"

"I'm sure. No problem. I'm not sick." He answered my questions one after the other.

I just nodded in acceptance of what he said. Mayo walked in front of us and smiled at me. It's just me, he didn't look at Kit.

oh wait....

"You stay here Mayo." I agreed with him and pointed to the bench next to me.

He shook his head quickly. "I'm over there..." Josh pointed to their table.

"Here..." I insisted.

It was obvious that he didn't want to, but he was forced to sit on the bench I pointed to. He put the plate he was holding on the table.

The awkward immediately prevailed. It was as if it evaporated from both of their bodies and began to surround us.

I did it wrong. In my desire to prove if they do have a gap, this is what I found.

Kit was looking at the food. I just watched them both. Mayo started eating and so did Kit. They kept stealing glances that didn't meet.

The one that will come?!

"Did you two fight?" I suddenly asked.

They looked at me together.

"N-no..."

"W-why?"

They said almost at the same time. Really asked. Alas! If only I knew.

"You're not paying attention." I told them.

"W-what are you doing? That's how we are... Right?" Mayo said as she smiled and faced Kit.

The other one forced a smile and couldn't understand whether to face me or Mayo.

"Y-yes.. that's true. That's just the way we are." Kit said.

I winced. It's obvious what they're doing.

"Yours is plastic, isn't it?" I said and immediately walked away from them.

Even though I was curious by both of them and was itching to know what it really meant when they were in the picture, I chose to leave.

Because their faces are painful.

To be honest, my body is still heavy but it's gone from my mind because my attention goes to the party.

I looked at Ci-N who was doing the worm dance again. He still teaches Eren and Blaster.

I shifted my gaze to David and Eman who were arranging the food.

Calix and Mica who never stop being sweet. Josh was looking at nothing, as if he was looking at something else.

Alas! Know it!

Edrix laughing with Rory and Denzel. Kit and Mayo who are still not talking. Felix and Drew shopping for music.

Yuri fixing his instrument.

The King of snakes looking at me.

I stopped for a moment and thought. Is this what I'll trade for Papa? Is it really worth leaving them?

Suddenly the music changed. Looks like the two have changed. Ci-N immediately came to me and held my hand.

"Come on! Let's dance!"

"T-guess It!"

Sergeant! He lost his mind that my body still hurts. We stopped in the middle where the others were.

They were dancing as well until I realized they had already surrounded me, and suddenly...

"...The flower will bloom, the queen will arrive! Chacha will dance! Let the fun begin!"

I simply shook my head at their foolishness. They even held hands, completely delighted by what they were doing.

"Dance Jay!" Denzel yelled at me.

Even though I looked like a fool, I danced like a child. I feel pain in every move I make but my pleasure dominates.

The snakes gave me loud applause and laughter.

"Hahaha.. nice Jay!"

"Great to dance!"

"It's really Jay-jay!"

"You guys are impacts!" I shouted at them.

"Keep dancing!" Ci-N shouted and suddenly the music got louder.

Crazy people look like they're at a wild party. Defeated by defeated and there are still others. Mica and Calix are also dancing.

I tried to leave their group. I haven't even been there for a long time, my body is already hurting.

"What? How are you dancing?" David asked me with a smile.

"Tss!" I scolded him.

He laughed a little. Suddenly, he handed me a small box with a ribbon. Bigger than what Yuri gave.

"Happy Holidays..." He said and smiled.

I was about to ask him but he suddenly walked away from me.

Are they really like that? After giving a gift, leaving?

I opened the box and found a silver letter "J" with a small diamond in the center. At first, I thought it was a bracelet since the "J" was mostly hanging from something black, but it turned out to be a necklace.

I accidentally dropped the lid of the box. Placing what I was holding on the table, I reached for the cover. I froze when I noticed a symbol.

I wasn't sure, but it looked like a fork—wait! The one Poseidon holds! A trident!

That's right! I've seen it on TV before. I looked closer and noticed something above the symbol.

Hm?!

"Love, Poseidon"?!

I grabbed the box and necklace, searched for David, and quickly went to him.

"Thanks for this!" I opened to him.

"Don't thank me... This is not from me, somebody requested to give it to you." He answered me with a wink.

Huh?!

Who will give it to me? The one with Poseidon's symbol? Maybe it's really Poseidon? Do I know a poseidon?

Rather than thinking about who gave it. I just let it go, I just put the box in my bag and had fun with the crocks again.

I wanted to have the most of this opportunity!

It won't happen again...
