Saving friendship
Jay-jay's POV
"This is for real.... I'm gay."
No one moved. Ci's smile disappeared and the others sat up straight
. Some raised their eyebrows and some seemed unsure whether
to react or not.
He was telling me that he believed what I said.
"Ahahaha..." I faked a laugh even though it was obviously fake. "...
Kit is really a joker."
I approached him and grabbed his arm to pull him away from
his fellow Ulopongs.
"Let's talk." I whispered to him while pulling him but he didn't
move.
He was looking at me as if he was saying everything was fine. I felt like
I was going crazy from what he was doing.
"Kit!" Mayo called angrily from behind the lukos. "...What
are you saying?!"
"Yes! What are you saying?!" Drew snapped.
"Is there a problem?" David asked worriedly.
I looked at the Ulopongs sitting on the floor. Josh's eyebrows met and didn't seem happy about what was
happening. Eren
was obviously worried and seemed to want to stop Kit. "You're gay. You're tripping hard, Kit." Denzel said with
a laugh but it gradually disappeared when he saw Kit's seriousness. "Get a grip, Kit. Your joke isn't funny." Rory
said. Shit! I don't feel good. I patted Kit's arm and looked at our confused classmates . I smiled even though I
had to. "We were just teasing him. Don't believe it—." "No!" He removed my hand. "I said it's for real." He cut me
off from what I was about to say. He looked at me and smiled. I shook his head to tell him not to continue.
This wasn't the right time for him to admit his true nature to everyone. "It's okay, Jay. I'm tired of hiding." He
turned to face Mayo and her. Eren had already stood up from his seat and seemed to be talking to him. "I've
been hiding this for a very long time. I knew I'm different from all of you." He took a deep breath. "...I'm
different because I'm attractive to my same sex." "Shit." Calix said and stood up. "...you can't be serious." I was
about to speak up to stop them from thinking what they were thinking but they all stood up one after the other
and started making their own comments. "Dude! Let's just c-cr together." Edrix said, shivering. "Maybe you just
thought that." Felix said. "I wouldn't be surprised if this is really the gay guy." Blaster said while pointing at Ci.
"...but you? Stop it!"
I looked at Ci-N. She didn't move and just kept observing.
It was like she didn't know what was happening.
"We've been together for so long, why are you just admitting it now?"
Eman was calm.
"What?! Are you really gay?!" Rory couldn't believe it.
"Can you just shut up—." David couldn't finish what
he was going to say because of Drew's sudden shout.
"YOU'RE DISGUSTING!"
That echoed throughout the auditorium so everyone fell silent and looked
at him. His eyebrows met and he seemed disgusted with Kit.
Before we could even speak to answer him, a strong punch hit his face. He fell to the floor and Denzel and
Blaster who were close to him
immediately helped him up. It looked like there was going to be a fight!! "What's your problem?! Why are you
getting upset?!" Denzel asked Mayo angrily who silenced Drew. Eren and Josh immediately came over to hold
him. It was obvious that Mayo was going to start a fight again. "That's a dirty mouth!" He replied, pointing at
Drew. I took the opportunity to talk to Kit. I grabbed his shoulder and turned him to me. "Are you crazy? Why
did you take what I told you seriously?" "That's not the only reason why I did this." He replied and removed my
hand from his shoulder. He grabbed it with both hands. "But even so... I hope you thought about what could
happen." I couldn't help but worry. As I expected, the Ulopong were in trouble. "Jay, I'm tired. I don't care if
others judge me anymore." He said and smiled. Even though he said there was another reason, I still felt like I
was really to blame. If only I had thought before I spoke. If only I hadn't given in to anger! I hugged him tightly.
"No matter what happens. I'm right here." I heard him laugh lightly. "Does that mean you forgive me?" "You
idiot." I answered and smiled even though I felt like crying. I pulled away from the hug and looked at him. His
previously sad eyes seemed to be devoid of emotion now. Maybe he really couldn't hide the truth about hipersonality anymore. "FUCK YOU!" Someone shouted. When we looked at the source, Mayo and Drew almost
came to blows. If only the other Ulopong hadn't been in the middle, they might have punched each other. "I
won't fight you! You idiot!" Mayo said angrily. "That's enough!" "Stop it!" "I'll give Mayo 1000!" "Drew 500!" Three
people were already holding each other, just don't get close. It was so chaotic and the rest of them were just
idiots and just watched. "Why are you defending that?! Are you in a relationship?!" Drew shouted. "You idiot! I'll
really smash your face!" Mayo replied. Suddenly, Drew laughed out loud, surprising us all. The tone of his
laughter was annoying. "I almost forgot. You're also flirting with men." Drew said while smiling mischievously.
Mayo was clearly stunned and after a few moments she tried to reach Drew again but Josh and her grip was
tight. "Your ex-girlfriend told me that you swapped her for a man." He added and laughed even louder. "... that's
Kit!" Shit! Stop it! "That's enough Drew!" Felix shouted at him. But it seemed like he didn't want to be stopped.
It was as if he was really annoying Mayo and testing her patience. "What?! You can't answer?! Because you're
—." The incident happened so fast. It seemed like Eren had intended to let Mayo go. He was only two steps
away from reaching Drew and he immediately gave her a strong punch. We all panicked. I covered my mouth
in shock. The previously unconscious Ci-N stood up and fought them off. Kit also came over to stop Mayo.
"Stop it! Stop it!" "Mayo! Stop it!" "That's enough! You've been punished!" I didn't know what to do. It was too
chaotic. There were also students curiously watching from afar. I was pulled by my hair before finally coming
closer to fight back. I didn't know what was happening until a hot palm hit my cheek. Stop it! The slap was so
hard that I immediately fell to the floor. "You're an idiot, Mayo!" I heard Kit shout. I touched my cheek, which
was probably going numb. I felt someone grab my arm to help me up. I looked over and saw Yuri and Kit. "Can
you do it?" Yuri asked worriedly. "Are you an idiot? Why did you even hurt Jay-jay?" Ci- N asked angrily . I
looked at Mayo who was standing while her fellow Ulopongs were holding her. I didn't understand why she
had to hurt me. "You're so crazy! I'm not following you there!" I said annoyed as I stood up. My cheeks felt
uneven! "I want to smash your face with a punch, but you're still a woman." She said to me. "...are you really
that angry with us and want to have sex with us?!" "Don't blame Jay for your nonsense!" Felix said angrily.
Mayo was still looking at me and it was obvious that she wanted to hurt me out of anger. "Did you think I didn't
hear you earlier? You ordered Kit to confess just to forgive her! You're so stupid!" She forcefully removed the
hands that were restraining her. "...It's okay for you to ruin our lives just for that fleeting forgiveness!" "That's
not the reason why I confessed! Don't blame Jay!" Kit explained but Mayo didn't seem to want to listen. I let go
of Yuri's hold on me and stepped closer to her. Does she want an answer? Okay, I'll answer her question! "Do
you want to know how much I hate you?" I said calmly and looked at all of them before looking at Mayo again.
"Have you ever experienced being alone? At school? At home?" She didn't move. "...because I am, Yes. I've
been alone my whole life. Mayo, I don't have any friends. You know that." I took a deep breath because of the
blockage in my throat. "...then you came but only to hurt me. And how much does it hurt? SO MUCH! So much,
I almost wish I could disappear from the world." I couldn't hold back the tears from my eyes. I didn't want to
cry but I couldn't, even my voice was broken. I still didn't take my eyes off her even though she wanted to look
away. "It hurts so much that I'm so angry with you! I'm so angry ! I wanted to retaliate so you could feel what I
felt!" I bit my lower lip. "...but I didn't. Because I don't want to be like you." I bent down to wipe my tears. I also
took a deep breath. I looked at all of them again. "Are you angry because Kit is gay? You should also be angry
with yourself ....you're no different from him!" I turned back to Mayo who was already bowing down.
"...because it's not a real man's job to single out a woman." "Jay..." I heard Yuri call from behind me. "Now, tell
me Mayo. Don't I have the right to blame you for what you did to me?" She didn't say anything. She looked at
Kit who was also behind me. She didn't move for a few minutes until she walked away. She intentionally
bumped into my shoulder before she completely passed me. I followed her gaze until she disappeared
completely. I felt an arm wrap around me. When I looked at who it was, Yuri's sad face caught my eye. "Jay..."
Kit called me. "...it's probably better if you take a rest first. We'll explain to the other teachers." "No." David
whispered. "...It's better if all of us will take a rest. I'll talk to Sir Alvin." "I agree with David." Yuri replied. The two
turned and David walked away. I looked at the Ulopongs who were now talking to each other. I noticed Ci-N
who seemed to be deep in thought. She was distant from the others and seemed worried. I didn't like her
being like that, as if she was worrying about something. I felt like she was taken aback and didn't understand
what happened. "Yuri... Can you please go see Ci-N first? It's like there's something wrong with her." I ordered.
She smiled at me before approaching the Little Kumag. I turned to Kit so that she could talk to him. "Let's talk
first." I told her. We walked away from the Ulopongs together. There was a time when I was touching my
cheek. The pain still didn't go away. The mud!! I wanted to slap Mayo back. Kit seemed to notice what I was
doing. He touched my cheek, which shocked my body. I almost flinched because of it. "Does it hurt? Sorry." I
shook my head. "N-no. I was surprised by you." He bent down and rubbed the back of his neck. I looked at him
closely. He couldn't really be mistaken for a federation because of his actions. He was still a man. This is
ridiculous! Handsomeness could still be a defense against Kpop, but it turns out that men also want it. I was
shocked! "I'm the one apologizing for what Mayo did. I didn't know he could hurt a woman." "Anyone can do
that." I replied and took a deep breath. I wiped my nose because of the cold that was starting to come. Badtrip! I cried again in front of them. I still don't want to do that. Of course, I look embarrassing. "What are you
planning? Those idiots don't seem to like gay people." I asked worriedly. He smiled at me. "Sometimes,
whoever is close to you will judge you." I smiled too. "But not me." He put his arm around me and I hugged
him. I laughed a little as he pulled away. I hoped he wasn't allergic to women like the others. I felt his hand
patting my back. "O-okay . You can let go now. This might get to Keifer— I'll be pulled again." Oh my, he
mentioned it again! I immediately pulled away from him. He was still smiling but it disappeared as soon as he
looked behind me. I suddenly felt nervous so I turned around. I almost jumped in shock. My eyebrows met and
it felt like he was going to pounce at any moment. Is this my fate for today? "A-aries." "Didn't I tell you to text!"
He said annoyed. My mouth just went oooh. I forgot about that because of what happened earlier. Another
thing, I can't tell him that. "I forgot. Sowrey." I said and looked at what he was holding. It was a Styrofoam
container where food is kept. FOOD! It looked like he bought it at the school cafeteria. "That's for me?" I asked
while pointing at what he was holding. "No." He quickly answered. "...he just gave it to me." Oh... I thought it
was mine! I noticed the long stare he had at me. It was as if he was wondering about something. I was lost so
I tried to look away. "Did you cry?" Dead! I looked at Kit but his face was expressionless . I couldn't even ask
for help. "Why are your cheeks red?" Funeral! It slipped my mind that he was so quick to criticize things . Even
when I looked at him. "W-what....that....what....w-what did....what—." "It's my fault." Kit cut me off. "...I
accidentally hit him in the face earlier." My eyes widened at what he said. Come on! Maybe Aries will think of
something and get angry with him. Just as I expected, this Horoscope immediately looked at him with a bad
look. Maybe he'll suddenly snap. "Harington, right?" Aries asked. Kit nodded at him. "Next time be careful so
you don't hit him." He said and stepped closer. "...and one more time I caught you hugging my sister, I will
break your bones." I immediately approached him and pushed him away from Kit. "What are you?! What are
you talking about?!" He looked at me with a bad look. "I'm telling your classmate off." I pushed him away
again. "Go away. You're threatening me!" He gave me a hard time that annoyed me. "Telling me off, not
threatening." I was the one who got angry. "That's a threat!" I pushed him away again. He was clearly getting
annoyed by what I was doing. Until he patted me on the head. "Yes! I'll leave!" He said annoyed and handed
me the styro he was holding earlier. "...it's yours. Shame on you for being so greedy." Wew... I quickly took it. I
smiled sweetly at him. "Thank you!! Mwuah! Mwuah! Suck! Suck!" He suddenly turned away. "Yack! There you
are!" I pouted. This guy! He's the one who's already fondling her so artfully. It feels good to be fucked
sometimes. I turned back to Kit who was smiling at me. "Are you and your brother okay?" I nodded at him.
"Yes. It's a good thing he talked to me." We were enveloped in silence for a moment. A scary silence. Slowly ,
the past was coming back to me. What's next? What's next? "Everything's going to be okay, right?" He asked. I
wanted to answer yes, but that's not what I felt. I bowed my head while answering weakly. "I hope..." ++Don't
