Chapter 121 - Real

Jay-jay's POV

Almost! It's almost my eyebrows. I almost lost my eyebrows.

That's it!

Because brother, I was ahead of him but when he arrived he immediately scolded me. Then he suddenly took a razor and came to me.

It was a good thing that Tito Julz got rid of him right away. But, oh my! No eyebrows means no life.

I faced the mirror and looked carefully at my eyebrows. I was wrong! It also looks like it was hit by a razor. There is a scratch on the side. Charlie Puth and I are now the same.

What remedy can be done to this mess?

I approached my study table and looked to see if I could use something for my eyebrows but I found something different.

The ring!

Then I suddenly remembered what he was telling me last night. Yes, I was drunk, but my mind was wide awake of course.

I forget some things sometimes but I remember them right away. But Yuri's, it was too hard to forget.

I'm so confused.

Hay! Yuri Hanamitchi!

Why does he seem to have the same impact on me as Keifer? That's not a good sign.

Thank you! Piss off!

Suddenly someone opened the door and Aries walked in.

As usual, the appearance is serious again.

"What?" I asked.

"I have your father's info... What is your decision now?"

Information! Dad!

I just stared at Aries. I don't know if the decision I chose was right.

"Aries... B-because...."

"Do you want it or not?" He asked, obviously impatient with my answer.

I bit my lower lip.

"I-I don't want to... I-I'm not leaving Section E."

He took a deep breath and took something from his pocket. It's a folded paper and even though I can't see the whole thing, I know what's inside.

"You sure? You don't want this thing?" Aries' tone seemed to challenge me.

I looked back and forth at him and at the paper. I feel like I wanted to take back what I said.

"I'll wait for your answer until the first week of school days." He said and immediately left my room.

Damn! Why is he like this ------aarrgghhh!! It's annoying! I just tweaked myself.

What's the problem? Why does he want me to be expelled from my Section?

I collapsed on the bed. I started thinking so much that my body is tired.

I have chosen my friends. Because I know Papa and I will meet each other in many ways--- what a joke!

I really planned to take it from brother Angelo without them knowing. I'm just not sure how.

I just stared at the ceiling. Christmas is only a few days away but here I am and I'm stupid and still having problems.

Because of Aries . . . .

Add last night and what Yuri said. I'm going crazy!

*Flashback....*

"It's cold! Shit!" Edrix shouted.

I checked the time on my phone. It's only 9:39pm but it's already cold as day.

"Jay.. I'm cold! Warm me up." Ci-N said while hugging me.

I looked at them all. "Who has a lighter?! I'll burn him! It's really cold!"

Suddenly they laughed. Ci immediately gave me a bad look.

I will warm him up. This was a fight,, the heat is smooth in the body.

Ultra-wow!

Keifer and Yuri have arrived. They have tree branches with them. They said earlier, they will make a bonfire to reduce the cold.

Here we hang out in the King's yard. It is said that people are resting with them.

After the fire was lit, the gourds began to release alcohol. The rest of group have gone home, so we are less in number.

Like Denzel, he said t Grace is waiting for him athome. Calix, Mica needs to be delivered. Blaster, really went home and we were all probably here at Kiefer's place. Kit said he wants to sleep so he's went home. Mayo also left because his grandparents are coming home today. Eman, on the other hand, helped clean his restaurant.

We're not enough but that's okay. The celebration we had earlier was worth it. Eren handed me the bottle.

"Thank you..." I said to him and smiled.

"Jay-jay tumador." I heard Rory say.

I looked at him badly. "I'm just holding a bottle, will you drink it right away?"

"In today's world, women are strong enough to consume their fathers' drinks." Comment by Edrix.

"Hey! I'm not a strong drinker!"

"Then don't know how to cook." Drew added.

"I'm cooking!"

"Of what?" David asked.

"Fried!" I answered them arrogantly but they just laughed at me.

It's hard to fry and then splash it with hot oil. Is that an achievement!

"What about you... Are you cooking?!" I asked them annoyed.

"No... But let's consider that, we're men." Eren replied.

"Neither..."

"It has nothing to do with gender... At this age we should know how to be independent." Josh said.

We both looked at him. It was deep when he said it. Why did it end up being an independent conversation?

"Besides, I'll think about that when I'm that age." Ci-N said while laughing.

I was surprised to see him holding a bottle of wine. He was about to drink it but I immediately stood up and took the bottle from him.

"You can't drink!" I shouted at him.

"Why?"

"What why----"

"Let him drink." Keifer interrupted what I was going to say. "...Let him be a man."

"What the hell?! He's just a boy!"

"How will he be a real man if you don't let him drink?" Yuri interrupted our conversation.

I looked at him. "Is manhood measured by drinking?"

"No, but it's a part of being a man."

I felt annoyed. The feeling of working together. Then they all looked at me as if saying that I was wrong.

I returned the bottle to Ci-N. I immediately walked away from them.

"I sulked." I heard one of them say.

Because it's a bad trip!

I went straight to Keifer's house and because I had no idea what was in that house, I crossed my arms and looked into the void and stood in the middle.

I don't know where I'm going. Maybe I'm just lost.

"It's annoying..." I whispered.

"Jay..." Someone called.

I almost passed out in shock. I looked at whoever that animal was.

"Do you need something?" I asked Yuri annoyed.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No!" Isn't it obvious?!

"Sorry..."

I looked at him. "I'm not mad."

"Really?"

"Yes indeed!" I answered quickly.

"The why are your eyebrows meeting?"

I felt my eyebrows. I fixed it when I realized what he was saying was true.

Yuri held one of my hands. I looked him straight in the eyes.

"I'm sorry... I should have sided with you----"

"You have no obligation to me. So it's okay if you don't side with me." I cut off what he had to say.

"Don't say that. I admit my feelings to you already. So, I have an obligation to you." He replied.

What does that mean?

"As what?" I'm asking directly, which is wrong..

It's like my question is breaking. I feel like something hit me.

Yuri let go of my hand. He bent down and tried a smile

Shooot!

"Y-yuri... W-what... I-that's not what I meant----"

"I believe I still haven't told you the purpose of the ring." He cut me off.

Suddenly he knelt down with one knee, the other leg supporting him for balance.

Wh-what...

He took one of my hands and looked me in the eyes again. My heart is beating fast, I want to relax but my body doesn't want to join.

"Jasper Jean Mariano..." He started. "...I, Yuri Hanamitchi is asking you..." He took a deep breath. "...To marry me." ❤️🥹

No please!

I immediately withdrew my hand. Immediately?! You just confessed your feelings and for marriage! Can't we flirt first?

"Y-yuri... W-really married?! Immediately?!" I asked him in surprise.

He stood up and faced me smiling. I guess it's addicting!

"..how does that connect to the obligation we are talking about?!" I continued.

I just touched my cheek in shock at what Yuri was doing.

"Jay... You told us before that you don't want to have a boyfriend. So, instead of asking you to be my girlfriend, I ask you to marry me." He explained to me with a smile. ❤️

I winced at what he said. The strength of his right. It's not like he's already drunk and the alcohol has hit his brain.

"You're drunk..."

He shook his head. "I'm not."

I slowly walked away from him. I must have combed my hair by hand a few times.

Damn! It's stressful!

"You don't need to answer now."

I looked at him. "It's not that... I don't understand what you're doing. Yes, you like me but... It's mud! Take it easy."

He suddenly scratched his head. "S-sorry..."

"Let's talk about it next time. Let's go back." I said and immediately walked out of the house.

When Ci-N approached, I immediately took the bottle that was suitable for him to drink. I drank it like water.

"D-slow down hey!" Ci-N said.

I didn't pay attention to him. I continued to drink the wine and when I ran out I took another one.

*End of fashback...*

Then I got drunk without realizing it and I made the horrible call I made to someone who hit the fire.

I even conquered the cult!

Shit Jay ! Where did you learn that?!

I will think about that next. My priority right now is how to talk to Yuri. And what we should talk about.

New tax!
