Chapter 125.1 - New Year

Jay-jay's POV

"Kit... I'm really sorry."

["It's okay, it's my fault too. I'm sorry."] Kit answered me from the other line.

"Get some rest... Happy new year."

["Happy new year too. Thank you Jay."] He said before hanging up.

I am ashamed of him. He tried to kiss me.

That's it!

I punched him, his face was bruised. I was so shocked that my hand moved to punch him.

But because of that, he seems to have come to his senses and thought about leaving his room. They didn't just greet his father.

His condition is difficult. I should also talk to Mayo. I need to hear his side and he intends to do the same.

I was a little confused by what Eren and Kit told me. Mayo is said to be bisexual and Kit is not the only man in a relationship.

I know what Bisexual means, but I'm confused by Mayo. Because it will not be obvious to him that he is like that.

Does Keifer know?

That's still a problem. If sanke already knew the truth, he would probably have found a way to get the two of them kicked out of Section E.

But if not yet, what will he do when he finds out? Damb! I don't want to think about it. Poor them, when this happens.

I heard loud fireworks outside. It's not even 12 but if you can light a firework just fine.

You who are rich!

Because we didn't buy any kind of fireworks. We are not here to celebrate. We have a place to go to.

Speaking of where to go, I haven't decided yet. I quickly ran to the bathroom to take a shower. Need to be fresh when welcoming the new year.

I acted quickly. When I came out of the bathroom, I stopped when I saw Aunt Gema rummaging through my cabinet.

"What Aunt?" I asked.

I looked at her for a moment and smiled. "I'll decide for you what to wear."

Huh?!

"There's no need... I'm fine with Pants and Shirt."

"It's not possible... We're going to a party. You should be dressed well."

In a dress?

I don't want to go. I'm here at home. Snorlax and I are the only two to celebrate.

"Auntie, I feel bad. I won't be coming." I said while acting like my head hurts.

"Stop it, Jay... I'm not going to leave you here----that's it!" Aunt suddenly said while holding a white dress.

Oh my!

'..wear it! Come on!" Aunt excitedly ordered me.

Next time, I will burn all the dresses in my cabinet.

I did nothing but take the dress and put it on. It fits me but I'm not comfortable in it.

" for you..." Aunt said and looked at the clothes.

She suddenly made me sit on the bed. She picked up a comb and started fixing my hair. I really don't want this. That's why I'm ashamed of her.

She pinned my hair and put a headband on me.

"That... I'll put make up on you later." Aunt said.

Hm?! Make up!

"I'm okay with this Aunt."

"No! You should have at least a little make up on." She insisted.

I forced myself to smile and nod. I'm like a doll that Aunt is fixing me.

She said goodbye to me. She is said to be the one to fix and dress. I left it in the room while looking in the mirror.

I've never done anything like this before. Even when we had prom at my old school, I didn't do this either. Because I didn't attend.

I took the bag that was said to be a small partner of my clothes. I left the room and went straight to the living room. Brother and Aries are the ones there.

They both looked at me.

"N-nice.." said brother.

"Can I just wear pants and a shirt?" I said him.

His eyebrows immediately met. "Stop it JAY-JAY."

There was a threat in his voice.

Pfffttt...

I sat down on the sofa opposite to where Aries was sitting. He's wearing a polo shirt and I'll admit he looks handsome now.

It's just that, he looks serious again. Can't understand if he is angry with the world or himself.

His cell phone rang for a moment. He immediately stood up and said goodbye to brother. He said he would pick up Ella.

We waited for a while. I noticed that brother Angelo seemed restless. It's like he's having diarrhea, I don't know.

"Are you tired?" I asked him.

He just shook his head and continued what he was doing. There was a few more moments and it seemed like he wanted to tell me something.

"What?" I asked him again.

"Jay... Your friend Yuri. How is he?" He asked me.

Yuri?

"He is fine... I think they're still in Japan."

I continued "Did he say something to you before he travel?"

Nothing, except that he asked me to marry him.

I shook my head at brother. "No... But why are you asking?"

He breathed deeply. He also held his senses.

"Do you like him?"

Hm?

"H-ha?"

Did brother know you? He's amazing!

And why was he interested in Yuri? My goodness!

Brother Angelo didn't speak anymore. Aunt Gema and Grandma arrived. Following them is Tito Julz.

"Let's go. Let's go. We might be late." Aunt said and went straight to the garage.

We followed her. We rode an SUV. Aunt and grandma are next to us. Brother Angelo is the driver and aunt is next to him.

"Where's the party we're going to?" I asked them.

No one answered me. Aunt and grandma just smiled but Tito looked away.

What's up?

During the flight, I just looked outside until I saw a familiar building.

Yuri's building. That's where we're going too. Brother stopped in front of the main entrance. He handed the car keys to a man and we got off one after the other.

The entrance is already deadly. The size of the chandelier.

I wanna swing... Like a---huh?!

I suddenly started singing. What is that?!

We stopped in front of the elevator and waited for it to open. I was in the middle of them all. When the elevator door opened we entered.

We were the only passengers so aunt took the opportunity and took out her face powder. She rubbed it on my face and then he took some lip gloss and put it on my lips..

"There! That's good!" Aunt said.

The one who can't rest and move----that's me!

We were silent for a while until grandma suddenly spoke.

"Jay... No matter what happens. Don't be angry with us first. Listen to our explanation first." Grandma said.

I was a little confused by what she said. I was about to ask what it meant because the elevator door opened.

They all went out so I followed. We walked down the hallway that belonged to the rich. Because the floor is shaking, I can see my reflection.

I can see my shorts!

We stopped in front of a large door with flower vases on both sides. Brother Angelo talked to the crew and opened the door.

I can only say one thing. Fruitful!

Apart from the large number of people, the beautiful clothes they wear. It's obvious that the people here are outlets for the arrogant---wealthy. That's the chandelier again.

There are huge round tables on the side. The dance floor is in the middle for people who feel the music and want to dance.

The crew led us to our table which was quite close to the stage. Aries and Ella are here already.

Wow! They were ahead...

I was about to sit down when I saw a familiar person. I thought I saw Keifer.

"Jay..." Someone called me.

I faced who it was.

Yuri!

I approached him.

"You're back... Welcome?" I asked while holding out my palm to him.

He just laughed at me while rubbing his neck.

Is that my welcome? Laughter?

"Happy new year." He said.

"You too... Happy New year?" I repeated.

He laughed again. He suddenly pinched my cheek.

"Later." He said and walked closer to our table.

I was about to follow him but a hand grabbed me and pulled me to the center where there were people dancing.

When we stopped, he held one of my hands and the other around my waist. I was so surprised that I noticed late that we were already dancing.

I looked closely at what was in front of me. Is that Keifer? Why does he look handsome now? He and Yuri are both wearing toxidos.

"I know, I look handsome but no need to stare like that." He said and smirked.

It's thick!

"You brag."

I just laughed at him. I suddenly stared at him. He hair is fine. It's not messed up like before and I can see his earring.

He is really pretty because he is wearing the earrings. He has many faces but the one he is wearing is the one I like the most.

"You look pretty." He said that made my heart beat faster.

He said that I look pretty! Ahihihi..

"I have nothing to give. Your money is still on loan." I answered him.

"Tss. You don't know how to accept compliment, do you?"

"I know. I'm just not used to hearing that from you."

He laughed a little. It's true, I don't praise him. Maybe it's a holiday today so I'm giving it to him.

"What else is going on at this party?" I asked him.

"You'll know later." He answered and suddenly stopped dancing and let go of me.

He smiled at me and walked away. I was left in the middle. Suddenly the lights went out except for the spotlight on the stage and the people applauded.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" Said a man on stage while on the mic. "...And Happy New Year!"

People quickly returned greetings.

"Thank you! Thank you!" He said and raised his hand to silence the crowd. "...aside from celebrating New Year we are also celebrating Mr. Yuri Hanamitchi's birthday!"

Suddenly the crowd clapped and looked at...me? Hmm?!

When I looked to my side, Yuri was next to me. He smiled and waved at people.

"Is it your birthday?"

He nodded at me. "At exactly 12:30am of January 1."

Cool!

"We also would like to announce the partnership of Hanamitchi's and Fernandez's Corp!" The man said again on stage and there was another round of applause.

Fernandez? That's Brother Angelo. They have something like that with Yuri. Because I am not aware of such things.

"...and as a symbol of there partnership we would like to announce Mr. Yuri Hanamitchi and Jasper Jean Fernandez Mariano's engagement!"

I would like to join in the applause. But there is something wrong, they mentioned my name and there is an accompanying engagement.

I'm confused!

Yuri held my waist and pulled me closer to him.

I just looked at him as he continued to smile and wave at people.

"Y-yuri... What does that mean?"

I didn't look at him. "Angelo didn't tell you?"

There is! That's why I'm asking!

"Jay... This is a business deal between Angelo and grandpa. We're getting married."

In so much shock, what he was saying didn't sink into my brain. I am not even aware of what is happening around me.
