Bridge
Jay-jay's POV
Every step is slow. Like a ninja and no
one should see. Hiding in the darkness and plants. No one shouldnotice. What are you doing. The King
asked me. I looked at him next to me. He was standing where anyone could easily see him. Meanwhile, I was
hiding like a ninja. Don't stand there. Someone might see you. Camouflage men. Jay It's midnight. Everyone's asleep. He had a point. Who would wake up at this hour----except us. Where on earth did that Yuri
go. We looked into the hall when we saw a light. It was small and seemed to come from a small flashlight. There was also a mirror that reflected the light . The light moved and that's when we saw what it was. The
light came from the cellphone and that's what Yuri was holding to light her way. While the mirror was herface
that reflected the light earlier. There's Yuri. I whispered and was about to follow her but Keifer immediately
grabbed me. W-why. Too close. Wait for her to get away. I did as he said. This King of Cobras knew a lot.He
also walked on his own accord after making sure that our distance was okay. He went straight to the back of
the hall so that's where we went. There was only one place I could think of that he could go to. The fishpond
where there's a bridge leading to Gazibo in the middle. I wasn't wrong, we hadn't even gotten close yet, we saw
Yuri and . Ella. I looked at Keifer but he didn't react. He quickly found a place where we could hide near theirplace. Kumag tried to position me in the thick vegetation. While he was standing behind a tree. I looked at Yuri
but it didn't seem like anyone was talking to them. What do you need. Yuri broke their silence. Does Aries
know this. Ella shook her head. I-I just really want to talk to you. What for. . 'Yuri deserves to know the truth. '
--Ella Chapter 174 Is this what she and Mica were talking about in the bathroom. They said they were going
to meet. I mean, this is it. But what is that Truth. What is it about. I'm also itching to know what it is.
I feel a mixture of worry and apprehension. I'm also torn between whether we should listen to what they're talkingabout. A big
part of me says to leave and not listen. My gut feeling is also strange. Social instinct. About what. . Can't we just go back to school. There's a hint of annoyance in Yuri's voice. He adjusts his glasses. I understand him. Who would be happy to meet at
12AM. Even if it makes me trip. You should be sleeping, right. Yuri. Ella shouted. listen to me. It's important
for you to know this. Yuri didn't say anything and waited for the other person to say something. Ella bent down a few times
and played with her fingers. It was also obvious that she was restless
. Do you really love Jay-jay. She asked. Wait. Yuri sighed and I could see her holding back her annoyance. She pretended to laugh. You ask me to meet you for that. Please answer it. Ella was talking. Yes, I do. Yuri replied proudly. I looked at Keifer but his gaze was also on the two of them. Even though
his attention was on them, he couldn't hide
his clenched fist from me. and if you don't say anything. I'm leaving. He added and was about to
walk away. Yuri. Ella called again and at the same time her tears started to fall. I'm sorry. Yuri stopped but didn't face her. I didn't understand,
I was confused by Ella's behavior. Why was she apologizing. Was it because
she hurt Yuri before. What was that for. I lied----No. We lied to you. Ella said crying and Yuri
slowly turned to face her. Wwhat are you talking about. Your mommy talked to me. She said to stay away
from you and she wouldn't let us have a relationship. She explained while continuing to cry. I don't
understand. Yuri said confused. He said I'm not right for you. He said if I don't stop you, my family won't be
able to set foot in Korea. I was scared I was scared Yuri. I don't get it. Cut the chase Ella. He said angrily. You're the one I really loved, notKeifer. Shutanginames. It felt like something had punched me in the chest. That's how heavy I felt. I slowly looked at Keifer. He had his back to the two of them and was leaning against a
tree while hunched over. I couldn't see his reaction properly but I could feel his anger. His fist was still
clenched. I wanted to approach him and talk to him but I didn't know what to say to him. Now I knew the depth
of his anger towards Yuri. I looked at the two of them again. No one spoke, Ella continued to cry and Yuri was
clearly shocked. That's why, that's why Ella said that when she was in my room. It was as if she was still
concerned about Yuri, because that's how it was. I can't believe it. What's going on is so confusing. What's
really true. . W-why. Yuri asked. W-why are you saying this to me now. There was a hint of depression in
her voice. Yuri Ella said. Usotsuki. Yuri shouted angrily. Usotsuki. A N. Usotsuki = Liar I didn't
understand what she said. Even Ella was confused by the words she was saying. Yuri combed her hair a few
times. She also twirled around as if she was very confused. She also took off her glasses and held her finger. I-I don't understand Yuri. Yuri came over to her and pointed at her. Urusai. A N. Urusai = Shut up I don't
understand. Ella shouted at her. You're not alone. You must be cursing. Yuri took a deep breath and tried tocalm herself down. She also covered her face a few times . Why now. Why did you just tell me now. Why not
then. She asked Ella calmly. Why just now. What was the reason. Because I was scared You know we're
suffering, right. If Appa can't return to Korea, we'll be gone. Ella explained and tried to wipe away her tears. That's why you chose to hurt me. She asked and took a deep breath. Do you think I'll believe you. That's
the truth Keifer knows that too. Your mommy talked to her too And I told her the day she beat you. I
automatically looked at Keifer. This time, he was looking in a different direction. He had his pockets full and
seemed to be deep in thought. You know. I asked in a whisper. I don't want to talk about it. He answered
quickly and sighed . Suddenly, what Ci-N and I had talked about came back to my mind. If only he had seen
Keifer get angry. Flashback Ci I called to the Kumag Kid. Hm. He answered while continuing to scoop
ice cream. Have you ever seen Keifer get angry. As in, really angry. I asked him. Since he's been with Keifer
for a longer time, I couldn't help but ask him. Yes, of course Many times. He answered. Really. Yes But
what I can't forget is when he got really angry with Yuri. He said and stopped eating. I also adjusted my seat
so I could face him properly. Wwhat happened. We don't knowthe reason. He's just really angry and Yuri
wouldn't stop punching him. Ella was crying and constantly teasing them. He explained. See Chapter 134. Anger EndofFlashback That was the real reason. Keifer was really angry because it turned out that he
wasn't the one Ella loved. Because Yuri was the one he liked. I couldn't bear to listen anymore. I wanted to
leave but my body wouldn't move. I looked at them again when I heard Ella shout Yuri's name. Enough. Yuri
shouted back. I couldn't understand myself. It was like something was aching in my heart as I watched them. While I could see that they were affected by everything in the past. Because there was no point. Answer myquestion. Why are you only saying this now. . She asked angrily. Because . Because I can't keep this from
you anymore. I've been hoping for you to talk to me again for a long time, I've been waiting for it. She wiped
her tears from her cheeks. that's why I left Section E so I could act properly and find a way to talk to you. But you left me. Because there's no reason to approach you anymore. You're already with Keifer. You're my
friend's girlfriend. She took a deep breath. Do you know how much that hurts me. How many times have I
wished that I could be Keifer. I almost killed myself at Kingsground. Yuri's tears fell. My chest felt even
heavier with the way he lookednow. I could feel him wanting to vent all his anger at Ella from back then. It
hurts so much. He pointed to his heart. I changed myself. I became a different person by joining so that
you would choose me too. But still not Because you wanted Aries. I'm sorry Yuri. Sorry. He laughed
bitterly. has your sorry changed. Ella tried to come closer to him but he immediately moved away. Yuri Please. Why. Ella, WHY. . Yuri shouted again and her tears fell again . Why didn't you fight me. My tears
fell on their own. I couldn't help but feel hurt by what he said. I also didn't understand why he had to ask that. Do you still love him. Jay Keifer called me. I immediately wiped my tears. I also took a deepbreath to ease
the weight in my chest. I looked at him and forced a smile. Keifer took a deep breath and faced Ella again. I
saw her eyes suddenly widen and she straightened up. My heart beat faster and I almost didn't want to look at
them. I hoped I was thinking wrong. My head turned slowly and deliberately as if it had a mind of its own. My
eyes stopped on them. Why did I have to feel like this. Something in me wanted to stop them. Wanted to
separate them. Wanted to keep them away from each other's embrace. ELLA DIANNE. Echoed .Aries'
scream. Yuri and Ella immediately broke away from their embrace. Keifer and I looked at Aries together. He
looked very angry as he slowlywalked closer to them. I immediately came out from where I was hiding. That
was the only thing that crossed my mind that they didn't know I was here. Yuri looked at me with a look of
surprise. Jay. What is this. . Aries asked angrily so all our attention shifted to him. What is this Ella. . Fear was evident on Ella's face. A-aries Y-because Explain yourself, NOW. Even I felt scared. I've only
seen her like that now. It's scary to get angry. They're really trooptroop. Aries I just s-told s-her the truth. Ella explained as tears fell. What for. She looked at Yuri for a moment before turning her gaze back to Ella. Do you still have feelings for her. Ella didn't speak. Even I waswaiting for her answer. But I also seemed
afraid to hear it. Is that the reason. ANSWER ME. Aries ordered angrily. N-no That's not like that. Ella
replied while trying to hold Aries but he just pushed her hand away. Please Aries. Aries shook his head and
looked in the other direction. The way Yuri had acted earlier was now his own. He would turn around and
comb his hair. You told me before. You explained to me---clear to me that you will forget your feelings for
him. Aries said calmly while pointing at Yuri. Then what the fvck is this. Aries Ella continued to cry. You begged me. You said I would save you from Keifer because you didn't want to be like Freya I gave youwhat you wanted so you could be happy. Aries suddenly cried. It hurt me more to see her like this. It hurt
more than seeing Yuri and Keifer crying. He's still my blood relative and we were once close. So I still couldn't
help but be affected. Instead, we talked about staying away from those Section Es . You'll forget Keifer and
most of all your feelings for Yuri. She took a deep breath. But what is this. . Ella sat up in tears. She
couldn't answer and she could barely breathe. Aries's gaze shifted to Yuri and he threw the punch without any
hesitation. I was shocked by what he did and immediately went over to them to stop them. Yuri fell and Aries
was about to punch him again when I stopped him. Get out. Aries shouted at me while I tried to stopI was about to shout at him but I was stopped. Keifer and Yuri faced each other. They exchanged sharp
glances and at any moment they could exchange punches. You know But you didn't tell me anything. Yuri
said calmly. What for. Why would I tell you. Keifer's tone sounded annoyed. I wanted to get in the way of
them but they might end up beating me up. Maybe their fight would end . What did Hahaoya tell you. Keifer
took a deep breath. I knew he didn't want to say it. But why did Yuri's mother need to intervene. I said I'd keep
Ella away from you. That's all. Yuri looked up and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and bit her lip. She
stayed like that for a few minutes until . FVCK. She shouted loudlyand quickly walked away. I was about to
follow her but I saw Ella crying and continuing to shake Aries. I immediately went over to them. Aries. Jay H-he's not waking up. Ella said crying. I looked at Keifer. Was his punch that hard that Aries wouldn't wake up. He said he couldn't breathe and then he lost consciousness. Ella added. I was nervous, I didn't know what
Aries was sick with but I knew he had a lung problem. Keifer Help us. I pleaded. Nothing came out of his
mouth. He lifted Aries with all his strength on his back. We supported him and immediately went straight to
the organizers' office. Unlike us, where we were sleeping in a tent, theirs was a room. There was a roof,walls,
a door, a window and an air conditioner. There was something wrong here. Before I could complain about the
appearance of their sleeping place, a loud bang on the door caught my attention. Ella's enemy was even
louder than theirs. Even in the next room, they could hear that bang. Help us. He shouted. The light in the
room Ella was knocking on turned on and the door opened. One of the organizers was looking at us with a
frown. Help Aries. Ella repeated and her expression immediately changed to worry. What happened. Let
Aries in. I'll call an ambulance. The organizer said while helping Keifer bring Aries in. I stopped when I reached
the door. Aries would be okay. They'd call for help. I probably wouldn't be needed here anymore. I immediately
turned around and ran back to the fishpond. I tried to figure out where Yuri had gone. He didn't go straight to
our site, because it seemed like he turned. Shit. HE TURNED INTO THE FOREST. I quickly ran the same way he
had taken. It was dark and I could barely see anything but I had to go to him. He was alone now, with no one
and no one to help him. But where was he. . YURI. I shouted but the only response I heard was my echo. YURI. ANSWER. I still didn't hear any answer from him. I continued walking. I couldn't see what I was going
through properly so I almost tripped. Until I saw something clear. I immediately ran towards it thinking it was
Yuri but it was just a cellphone. I picked it up and looked at it. It was Yuri's cellphone. I was right there. She
passed by here too. She could be not far away. YURI. I shouted again. Honestly, I was scared but I was more
scared of what might happen to her. Where are you. ++
