Chapter 116 - Christmas Party

Jay-jay's POV

🎶 I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistle toe last night 🎶

I don't know what I will beautify. The pain in my body or the pain in my ears. I know my voice is weak, so I don't sing, but this kid, he's not aware that his voice sounds like iron.

"You're great Ci-N!"

"Idol!"

"Waoo Ci!"

Crooked people cheering for Ci-N. It's obvious that they can only tolerate his one. My head hurts from his ugly voice. It's bad if it's bad! But meanwhile it's cute. I covered my ears.

Why is there still a videoke?

Someone put food in front of me. I raised my head slightly to see who it was.

"Happy Holidays..." David greeted me while pushing a plate of food.

"Happy Holidays too..." I greeted him back.

I took the food he gave me. Even though my body hurts, I still want to enjoy this party.

"Do you have your gift ready?" David asked me.

I nodded. Because we have money. Because I was the only girl, they got into trouble. Because we didn't put a name on the paper to be drawn. Just a code name and then we'll take care of what to give as long as it's within the theme.

Something Naughty daw.

I feel that something naughty is just a joke. I joined instead of ruining their party. I'm not even sure who I pulled out. I just know it's a boy, because I'm the only girl.

Who is this Bluetooth? Let's call him a fool. Whoever it is, I have a nice gift for him. Something really naughty!

"Thank you so much for Ci-N's performance!" Rory suddenly said into the mic so we looked at him.

The crooks clapped and there was even a whistle.

"Let's get the party started!" Rory shouted.

Followed again by the screams of the crooks. I wanted to scream, but my body doesn't want to be with me. Why did they think of waiting for me at the corner?

"Let's start with the game! And of course the winner has the corresponding price!" Rory explained and looked around. "...where is Santa going to give the prize?"

Speaking of Santa, he's holding a bottle of wine. Yuri is still with him, who also doesn't stop drinking alcohol.

Keifer forced himself to his feet and approached Rory. He was still holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Okay okay... Everyone is ready! Let's start with the Stop Dance that is my twist!"

What?!

"...Everyone's in! Except Jay-jay and Mica!" Rory added.

"That's blood!"

"Why is that?"

"I won't join anymore!"

Keifer suddenly grabbed the mic from Rory.

"If I beat you up so you can't play too?!" He threatens the crooked.

They immediately fell silent. They forgot that I had a fight earlier. He returned the mic to Rory.

"Okay... Since Jay-jay and Mica are not included, as well as Keifer and Yuri and of course me. We're missing one." Rory said suddenly while counting on his fingers.

Looks like I'm really forced to play. We are 18 in total if Mica is included who is currently sitting next to Calix. She said she likes attending our Christmas party more than school.

Five will be removed, so there will be only 13 left. One more is needed just to hit the number.

"Is it okay Mica if you join the game?" They asked Mica.

She looked at Calix and me for a moment. I'm always ashamed of her. I should be the one participating in the game.

"Just me."

"I'll do it."

Yuri and Keifer said together. They both looked at each other. It's weird because they used to volunteer.

"So, who's going to play?" Rory asked the two awkwardly.

Yuri and Keifer stared at each other. They seemed to be talking with only their eyes until Yuri looked away and drank some wine.

Keifer walked in the middle and looked like he was going to play.

"Alright! The number is right! Let's start!" Rory said and we cheered. The crooks immediately took their place in the middle. "...This is the twist. When you say stop, you should be in a pose and of course no one will move. But your pose will be based on what I say."

Huh?! It seems to be complicated.

"...When I say 'Animal Pose', you have to pose like an animal and not move." 😂

Alas! Dead! The King of snakes!

"Game!" Rory shouted and the music started.

I didn't realize that Mica had approached me. I noticed her when I turned to David's place earlier.

"How are you? Did you get into a fight?" She asked me.

"Yes... How are you?" I asked her back.

"I'm fine..." She replied smiling at me.

I will be happy for them. She and Calix have been through a lot. I just hope their fight won't happen again. Maybe Calix is about to commit suicide.

Mica and I looked at the Serpents for a moment as if they had escaped from the coral to dance.

"Supermodel Pose and.... And..." suddenly Rory said "...STOP!"

The sankes have their own pose. There is also a facial expression included. We even laughed at Edrix, who even released a tyan feeling my abs. Ci-N will not be defeated, biting his lip as his eyes widen.

But my eyes were fixed on Keifer. He was looking at me. He just stood there like a pole.

"Do you and Keifer have something?" Mica asked suddenly, causing me to look at her.

"Huh?!"

"I shouldn't be curious about you anymore. That's because..." She bit his lower lip. "...Calix and I once talked about something different between you and Keifer."

"He is weird? We always fight." I defended myself.

The loud music is back and the crooks are dancing again.

"But do you like him?" Mica asked directly.

My cheeks suddenly felt hot.

Why! Mica's questions are also strange.

"W-nothing!" I answered quickly.

Mica laughed a little. She didn't ask again. That's fine. I'm not comfortable talking about this topic.

The first game was over and the crooks were hungry. They said they will eat first and play again. Then it's time to give the gift.

I am excited about what I will receive.

As usual, Eman cooked our food. He said he helped his Daddy.

I forced myself to stand up to get food. I might run out of crooks if I wait for someone to hire me.

While standing in line, I saw Yuri playing with the wine bottle in his hand. It's obvious that he is thinking deeply.

I got food for both of us. It's obvious that he has no intention of taking his food.

After taking it, I immediately came to his place and sat across to him. He didn't react but he was looking at me.

"Eat..." I said while pushing the plate closer to him.

He just looked at the food and started drinking again. I'm not used to him like this.

"Yuri..." I called him. "...Why are you so quiet? Do you have a problem?"

He didn't answer. He just continued what he was doing. Honestly, I'm starting to get bored with what he's doing.

I don't want to talk about it but it's necessary.

"The ring is beautiful..." I said without looking at him.

I waited for him to speak but he didn't move, he didn't move either.

I looked at him carefully again, he stopped and stared at me. Very serious and seems to be thinking about something.

I waved my hand in front of his face. He blinked for a moment so I stopped too.

"D-do you like it?" He asked almost in a whisper.

"Yes... It's of my size. T-thanks." I said and forced a smile. "...Why did you give me that?"

"I was going to ask you to marry me." His quick answer made me feel sad. ❤️

"*Cough**Cough*... W-what?!"

He suddenly laughed. He left for a while and got bottled water. He opened it and handed it to me.

"Just kidding... You're serious." He said.

"I'm serious! What's that for?!"

He looked away. He looked at the bottle he was playing with in his hand and then looked at our friends who were teasing and enjoying themselves.

"I'll tell you later." He said quickly.

I was about to open my mouth to speak but he immediately stood up and went to Felix who was busy eating and teasing them.

It's a bit rude..

I'm nervous. What Yuri said felt strange and why do I have to wait for later when I can do it now.

I just faced my food again and for reasons I don't understand, I suddenly looked at Keifer.

He was also looking at me but his eyes seemed to be talking.

What's wrong with these two?!
