Jay-jay's POV

My
hands hurt. I tried to make them sound but it only hurt more. The doctor said there was no problem, nothing
broken or lame. But it still hurt. It's a bad trip! Every time that thing happens to me, my hands feel like this. I'm
currently on the sofa in the living room. We just got home from hospital. We---we're all in! Including Aries The
Horoscope. You can find out your fate. I looked at him sitting on the sofa opposite me. He was closed while
his head was leaning back. There was a band aid and gauze on some parts of his face. While I was the only
one who got home with a bandage on my head. "...Is that so? Okay, thank you." I heard Tito Julz say from the
phone he was talking to. Tita Gema entered the house with some of Aries and I's bags. Tito's sad face
appeared to him. "Why? Did something happen?" Tita asked. "He said Angelo isn't coming in. He said it's been
a few days." I managed to get a seat. Why isn't he coming in? Seriously? But for those who came, there's still a
lot to save at the company and Kuya didn't go. "...I'll probably just fix it for now. Maybe you can call his friends?
He hasn't come home here for three nights." Tito added. Tita's expression suddenly became worried. She
didn't seem to know that Kuya was doing that. "S-okay... I'll call his friends." Auntie replied. She left our bags
and went to where Tito was next. They came back a little later, looking restless and not knowing what to do
first. Both of them were holding cellphones and talking to someone. When they disappeared from my sight
again, Mama arrived. She came from the kitchen and was holding a glass of juice. I think I would have liked
that too! Mama watched me while drinking juice. Her gaze shifted to Aries and she smiled. "If you act like that,
your resemblance is obvious." She said with a smile. I winced as Aries suddenly stood up. Her eyebrows met
as she stared at me. "Eew! I look like a monkey." She said and quickly left for her room. "Which monkey? I'm a
nice monkey if I'm the one you're talking about, even though I'm not." She didn't answer. The plump Aries
disappeared from our sight. That guy is crazy . It must have been the effect of Mykel's beating. But where is
Kuya Angelo? He didn't visit me at the hospital, but Yuri and I told him he was there when they rushed me. I
also learned that the Ulopongs were caught by the old man because they were complacent that we were only
on the second floor. They were only arrested when David left without saying goodbye. When Felix went to the
second floor and saw that we weren't there, they took action. I think I would have preferred that they hadn't
caught us. It was only right that the old man caught them even though Ci-N was already beaten. I don't know
how to explain to them what happens to me when they see and taste blood. But what exactly is that? Is it pain
or something? "Mom..." I called out to Mom who was currently texting on her cellphone. "...do you remember
anything strange happening or doing when I was a kid?" She looked at me with a look of surprise. "What's
strange?" I sighed. "Nothing. Forget it." He stood up and was about to walk away when he spoke again. "Is
there a problem? You can tell me." He said with a smile. I shook my head. I knew what he was doing. He was
trying to be nice to me. Wasn't he happy with our casual conversation as people and with the respect I had for
calling him 'Mama'? I thought the conversation between the three of us and Aries was clear to him. "No. You
wouldn't understand either." I picked up my bag and Aries' bag from the floor. I passed him and went up the
stairs. Horoscope's bag was heavy because he had been in the hospital longer. When I got to his room, I
dropped his bag and knocked on his door with a bang. My hand twitched so I grabbed it. The door opened and
my brother faced me with a frown. "You have no brain! You can't do it properly just by knocking!" He said
angrily to me. I was the only one who had no brain now. "Your bag! You're ugly!" I quickly walked to the room. I
managed to curse a little before I closed the door. If I wasn't tired, I would have showered him with profanity.
Did he think that was me?! I think I had a world record in the amount of profanity I was throwing. It was only
reduced because of the profanity of 'Profanity'. I fell down on the bed. I remembered the last conversation we
had with the King of Snakes. At the same time, the pain I felt in my heart. He didn't call again. I asked Ci to
help me but he said he didn't answer his messages either. He said he missed me and only called once. Ugog!
Speaking of calling, I could hear my cellphone. I got up and saw my school bag on the study table. I left it in
the room when I looked for Ci-N. It looked like the Vulture had brought it here. I quickly looked for my
cellphone but the call died before I could see it. Missed call from GagongBaliw. There were also many text
messages from him. From: GagongBaliw Message: enjoy ur lunch. (Enjoy your lunch) From: GagongBaliw
Message: my adobo is my fastfood. I was scared! I was surprised by his message. This is the day Ci-N
disappeared. How did he know that my dish was like that? I went back to his texts. From: GagongBaliw
Message: the noise of your stepbrother and the child. I can't sleep. Why?! How did he know that the one with
me was my stepbrother? I was confused by what he said. How could he be so loud if... There was no one
besides us! No one else there! The classrooms were open so we could easily see if there was anyone else---
except in the other room. The far room where the pictures were. That's where what happened came back to
me. There was someone there! I heard the loud closing of the door. I knew it wasn't from the Section E
classroom. Could it be him?! I checked his other messages. From: GagongBaliw Message: don't leave them!
They were crying. From: GagongBaliw Message: Hey! How long have you been gone? (Why are you so long?)
From: GagongBaliw Message: Why haven't you been answering my texts? (Why haven't you been replying to
my texts?) From: GagongBaliw Message: Why haven't you been replying? (Why haven't you been replying?)
From: GagongBaliw Message: did something happen? Why are you in a hurry? (Did something happen? Why
are you in a hurry?) From: GagongBaliw Message: i have 2 go. I'm okay. (I have to go. I hope you're okay.)
From: GagongBaliw Message : are you in the hospital? What happen? From: GagongBaliw Message: who hurt
you? (Who hurt you?) From: GagongBaliw Message: can u please answer my call? From: GagongBaliw
Message: Mykel Mitchell... I will make him pay. I was stunned. How did he know that thing? How did he know
Mykel. I sat up in bed. My head hurt from confusion. Am I starting to get nervous about this guy too? In the
time we've been talking these past few weeks. I've noticed a lot about him and most of it matches someone I
know. But it's impossible! He's not Jejemon! He doesn't like texting either. He wouldn't waste time on such
trivial things. I looked at his remaining messages again. Maybe my suspicions would be confirmed. From:
GagongBaliw Message: Klan ka llbas ospital? (When are you leaving the hospital?) From: GagongBaliw
Message: gsto sna kita dlwin. Dmi mo nga lng banty. (I would like to visit you. You're just a lot of guards.)
From: GagongBaliw Message: sna mg-reply ka khit isa s mga messge q. (I hope you'll reply to at least one of
my messages.) From: GagongBaliw Message: can't help it! Ppntahn na kita! (Can't help it! I'm going to visit
you!) From: GagongBaliw Message: kya pla hnd rply. Ur sleeping. U look so peaceful. (That's why I didn't reply.
You're sleeping. You look so peaceful.) He visited me?! I checked the date and time of the text. It was my third
or fourth day in the hospital. From: GagongBaliw Message: ur Mom looks like u. Older version of u. (Your
Mom looks like you. Older version of you.) I stood up while covering my mouth with my hand. Was he facing
Mama? I quickly left the room and looked for Mama while calling her repeatedly. I saw her in the kitchen while
talking to Aunt Gema. "What's that?! Why do you call me like that?!" She said annoyed. "Really?! Really?! You
were my guard every night when I was in the hospital?!" I asked hurriedly. She nodded at me with raised
eyebrows. Even Aunt Gema was surprised that I was acting like that . "A man came to visit me?!" Mama
thought for a moment. I knew Mama was awake when she was watching me at night. She didn't come in the
morning either because she was sleeping at home. "It's like nothing happened..." She said. My shoulders
slumped as I turned my back on them. I was about to leave when Mama spoke again. "...but once. I met a man
heading in the direction of your room. Then when I came back, I saw him come out of your room..." I faced her
again and waited for her next words. I hope she knows him! I hope she knows him! "...he's familiar to me.
That's why I couldn't see his face properly , he was wearing a baseball cap." Oh my! I scratched the back of my
head and said goodbye to them. I went back to the room and immediately fell on the bed. I buried my face in
the pillow. Wow! Who the hell is this Crazy Man? I picked up my cellphone again. I didn't finish reading his
texts. I composed a message for him. To: GagongBaliw Message: Hey! GagongBaliw! I didn't have to wait
long. The idiot replied immediately . From: GagongBaliw Message: I miss you too! I winced and immediately
pressed the cellphone to reply to him. To: GagongBaliw Message: You went to the hospital, why didn't you
show me? (You went to the hospital, why didn't you show me?) From: GagongBaliw Message: I showed you!
You were just blindfolded. Haha I even managed to laugh. The idiot is an idiot! To: GagongBaliw Message:
You're crazy! You're crazy too. You're crazy too. I hope you've introduced yourself.) From: GagongBaliw
Message: u already know me. My forehead furrowed at what he said. I don't know him so I'm trying to
introduce myself. Shungaers! To: GagongBaliw Message: I don't know you! Irritated! I dropped my cellphone
when my hand started to twitch again. I rubbed it to reduce the pain. The last time my hand felt like this, Yuri
massaged it. It only took a few days for the pain to go away. I picked up my cellphone again and texted Yuri. I
told her about the pain in my hand and if she could do what she did before. Just as I was sending the
message, GagongBaliw's text arrived. From: GagongBaliw Message: Are you dating Yuri? Whut?! She knows
that too. To: GagongBaliw Message: Why! Why do you know that too? (Please! Why do you know that too?)
From: GagongBaliw Message: why?! Why did you go with that nerd? (Why? Why did you go with that nerd?)
Why does she know Yuri? And why does she call him a nerd? Are they close? I haven't heard of that. To:
GagongBaliw Message: I love it! From: GagongBaliw Message: you didn't say your type is nerd! (You didn't say
your type is nerd!) Even though I wasn't in front of him. I could feel his irritation. It's like he's so jealous of Yuri.
To: GagongBaliw Message: don't worry! From: GagongBaliw Message: damn it! I'll wait for my chance and I
assure you. You won't look at anyone else. Suddenly my hair stood up. I got out of bed and left my cellphone.
It felt like I needed water. I couldn't handle this GagongBaliw. I walked to the kitchen. Mama and Tita Gema
weren't there anymore. I got some water like I had planned. While drinking, I stumbled upon the refrigerator. I
couldn't eat properly when I was in the hospital. Since no one was there, I opened it and Cookies and Cream
Ice cream appeared before me . I even managed to clap my hands before taking it and starting to eat it.
Tsarap! Tsarap! While busy eating, I heard Aunt Gema seeming angry. I approached the kitchen door and was
about to leave but I heard Brother Angelo's voice so I stopped. "Mom! Please! I'm tired!" Brother said annoyed.
"Are you thinking?! You just left and didn't come to work!" Tita Gema's sermon. "I'm just taking care of
something!" "And what's that? Are you looking for the person who beat up Aries and Jay-jay?! Let's just file a
case, just let the Police do it." "The Police can't solve all problems." "Angelo!" "I'll be in tomorrow. I saw Mykel
so I don't have to worry anymore." I wanted to go out to ask Brother about Mykel. What he did and what
happened because of what he said next. "...he's in a coma. He's in a private hospital. It's like karma has come
back to haunt him." Karma was really digital. I covered my mouth. Then someone else made him fall? But
who? My chest was pounding strangely. Aunt and Kuya talked for a long time. I was forced to hang out in the
kitchen and finish the ice cream. When I was sure they were gone, I just left and went straight to the room. I
called Yuri. ["Jay?"] He answered the call. "Are you busy?" I asked. ["No, why?"] "Because... Mykel. He's in a
private hospital." ["What?! He's still alive?"] I winced. "Oh-yes." ["Good. Because I'm the one who's going to kill
him."] Wow! A real viper! "What are you?! Let's go! I want to see him!" ["Do you know which hospital?"] "Eh...
No." ["Tss... Nice."] He said sarcastically. ["Wait a minute. I'll call someone."] He didn't wait for me to answer.
He hung up the call. It looked like he was going to use his 'ways' too. It's really different when you have money,
you have a lot of tentacles. It's like you can find out. It only took a few minutes and I received a text message
rom Yuri. From: Yuri Message: I'm on my way. I'll pick you up. I didn't waste any more time. I got dressed and
immediately left the room. I said goodbye to Tita who was there to greet me. She didn't want to let me in but I
heard Yuri's car horn honking at the same time she texted me that she was already outside. "Do you know
where?" I asked her to get in the car. "Yes." She answered quickly. She started the car. I couldn't help but feel
tense. Even though I had nothing to do with what happened to her, I still felt connected to the person who did
this to her. We arrived at a private hospital. The building had six floors and all the rooms were non-air-
conditioned. Yuri stopped at the parking lot and we got out. "She's in the ICU." She said and made me walk
first. I thought she was going to take the elevator but when she saw that there were many people with us, she
chose to take the stairs. I followed without complaint. We stopped on the third floor. We approached a Nurse
Station. "Where is your ICU?" Yuri asked one of the Nurses. She pointed to a window not far away with a
curtain. It was clearly posted that unauthorized personnel were not allowed in . Yuri knocked on the door next
to it and spoke to the nurse who came out for him. It was only a moment before the curtain was pulled back
and Mykel's limp body appeared. Fvcking shit! It was as if no human had done this to him. There were tubes,
lines, and dextrose attached to his body on all sides. Only the device with stripes said that he was still alive.
His body was all gauze and bandages. There were also some parts that were cemented and slightly raised.
He also looked like he had undergone surgery because foam was supporting him instead of gauze. I couldn't
stand the look on his face. It was so soft. I turned my back and looked away. Yuri noticed that so he quickly
helped me up. "Do you want to leave?" He asked. I nodded and he knocked on the ICU door again and thanked
the nurse. We walked away. "Whoever did this. They wanted to torture Mykel. They brought him back to life to
make him suffer." Yuri said and I looked at him. "...if this was just a simple fight, Mykel could fight so he
wouldn't have gone to that." He was right! They wanted to torture him. "Do you think... Many people did this to
him?" "Maybe... Mykel is a big man. It would be difficult if only one person fought him." That's true. Even I had
a hard time fighting him. But who are they---- THEY! I narrowed my eyes at him. "Maybe you did this?" He
shook his head quickly. "No! We did not!" I pointed at his face. "You did that to Kiko once! I don't know if you
did it to Mykel again!" Ci-N said that. They were also looking for Mykel to punish him. Yuri looked at me
seriously and stopped walking. "It's not us, Jay. One hit rule is an order from Keifer and he's not here to
command." A question appeared on my face. "One hit rule? What is that?" He took a deep breath and seemed
hesitant. "That's what we did to Kiko. It was a rule created by us. To make sure we could all get revenge on the
worthless and at the same time the one we're getting revenge on is still alive." He explained. "...to make them
suffer alive." "W-why did I just find out about that now?" "Because he didn't want to tell you." Keifer... Why
would they let me know? Who am I? They never considered me to be one of them. +
