Chapter -143

Sunday Morning

Jay-jay's POV


"...Are you going to church?" I asked Ci-N as she came out of the bathroom. "It's only once. Someone just
came to see me today." She answered. Ayyyiieeehhhh... I know you already. No need to answer. The name is
just Rakki San Diego . I looked at my cellphone when I heard it ring. Yuri Calling... I left the room first. I didn't
want to let Ci-N know that Yuri was calling. Maybe she'd think something. "Hello?" I almost whispered. ["Are
you busy?"] She opened it. "N-no... Why?" ["Let's go to church."] She did. I looked at the bedroom door. "W-
what... Y-because..." ["Great! I'll pick you up in 20 minutes"] She said and suddenly cut off the call. How dare
you?! She and Keifer are really troopers. They both cut off the call immediately. How am I supposed to go to
church? This one has to leave before I can get ready. I entered the bedroom and immediately sat on the bed.
Pretending there was no call. "Do I look okay?" Ci asked. "I'm fine." "Is it 'That's my Bae'?" She said while
making a face. "Are you going to church or a fashion show?" She smacked her hand against his cheek. "Go to
church." "Go away! You look okay!" I said annoyed. Go away! I've been wasting minutes talking to him. "Here
we go..."I'm leaving." He said and checked his wallet and cellphone. He walked towards the door. I thought he
was going to leave but he turned to face me again. "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked. "YES! "HE'S
HANDSOME!" I shouted and he smiled awkwardly. "I know you'll say that." He said with a wink. I threw a pillow
at him. He was out right away before it hit him. When he came out, I slightly opened the door to my room and
listened. I heard him say goodbye to Aunt Gema and Uncle Julz. He had already left! I immediately ran into the
bathroom. I took a quick shower. Even when I got dressed, I was quick. I only wore pants and a t-shirt. I was in
a hurry and didn't know what to wear. I ran out of my room and went straight to the living room. Aunt Gema
greeted me. "Jay... Where are you going?" "To... To... To... To... To... To-sim----" "Ma'am, there's someone
outside, waiting for Miss Jay-jay." The maid cut me off. It was Yuri! "Who is it----" " I'm leaving, Aunt!" I shouted
and ran quickly out. I didn't wait for Tita to say anything. When I came out of the gate, I stopped. I was
embarrassed by what I was wearing compared to Yuri's uniform. He was wearing semi-formal, I was just
casual. Can I get dressed first? "Jay!" He called to me when he saw me. "...Let's go?" I looked at what I was
wearing and what he was wearing. It seemed embarrassing. "I'll just get dressed." I said and was about to go
inside but he grabbed my arm. "It's okay... You look perfect for me." He smiled at me.
I didn't say anything. He approached his car and opened the door.
He invited me to get in.
Oh daba?! Gentlemen!
Not like the other one. So---Haaaaiiiizt! Don't think about it! Bad!
Yuri immediately started the car and got in. I thought where he was
going to take me but we ended up at the nearest church.
I hope Ci-N didn't go to church here.
"Are we going to church here?" I asked while looking at the
church.
"Of course... Don't you want to?" He asked while parking the car.
"No... I expected Buddha."
He raised one eyebrow.
"...Because you're Japanese, right? Japan is Buddhism?" I added.
Suddenly he laughed out loud. He also hit the
steering wheel of the car.
"What year were you born? It's the 21st century, Grandma, Catholics are widespread
in the world." He said while talking to me like
an old man who is hard to understand.
I was taken aback. "I don't know."
He just shook his head. He opened the car door and got out.
I did the same.
He waited for me to get out properly and we walked
into the church together.
There were quite a few people. I tried to look around to find
Ci-N or Rakki. Unfortunately, with so many people, I couldn't see or
recognize them.
Suddenly Yuri grabbed my hand and pulled me. "Let's go."
We sat down in the middle at the end of the long chair.
"Okay?" I asked him, looking surprised. "...Okay, right? Maybe
you can let go of my hand."
He nodded!
We were already sitting down and everyone was still holding my hand. I
guess he was intrigued.
He looked at our hands. I thought he was about to let go, but
he just smiled at me and tightened his grip on my hand.
"Hey. Are you going to let go or will you let go?"
"Let me go." He asked with a pout.
I shook my head. "Don't act like that, it's not right for you."
He brought his face closer to mine. I wondered what he was going to do.
Suddenly, he made puppy eyes and pouted.
"Isn't that right?" He said.
I was about to laugh because of his appearance, but someone laughed at me first.
I looked at a group of women who were looking at us and
laughing casually.
Oh... Are we close, Teh?
Yuri suddenly adjusted his seat and looked in front of him. He suddenly became
serious and let go of me.
"What a shame... This is your fault Jay-jay." He told me.
Oh wow!
"Why is that?" I said while laughing.
The number of people inside the church increased. Suddenly, there was a
loud feedback on the speaker. Someone spoke and the mass began.
While listening to what the priest was saying, I couldn't help but
look at the group of women who had laughed at Yuri earlier.
They were constantly looking at us----it would be more correct to say it was just Yuri
. They would whisper and giggle.
The truth? Did you really go to Mass here?
I nudged Yuri slightly to get her attention.
"Why?" She whispered to me.
"You have a fan club." I answered her and the
group of women slightly sneered.
It seemed like she got it right away because she also looked at me.
"Don't pay attention." She said.
I followed what she said. That's why there's a chance that
you'll get pissed off quickly because of the actions of others.
Now they're all hot on me. How did I know? They'll look
me from head to toe and then laugh.
Oh!
Bad trip! We're still in church today. I'm so sorry! Because
I'm a sinner... A sinful creature..
I immediately grabbed Yuri's hand. Holding hands ma'men!
She was a little surprised by me but she just let it go.
I thought the moans would stop but here
we are again whispering. What are these? I can't concentrate on mass.
"Jay..." Yuri called to me. "...Is there a problem?"
I motioned for her to bring her face closer to me. She did and
I immediately whispered.
"Look at your fan club and then laugh." I ordered.
"Why?"
"Just do it." I insisted.
The girl forced a laugh and looked at them. That's why
Yuri must have had a flirtatious streak, suddenly giggling, causing
the person opposite and next to us in the seat to look at us.
"Get ready." I whispered to her again.
"Sorry... I can't help it."
This is so funny! I really should have just ignored it.
We were so embarrassed. It was annoying!
I tried to avoid and ignore the other group. Until
it was time to eat the wafer.
We were already in line and if you really had a chance to see it. There were two lines, on the other side of us, a
group of women
actually approached us . Really! They were constantly making Yuri look cute. Here's the other one, since he
was behind me I couldn't see if he was being cute too. Suddenly I lost my appetite. He was a jerk! I left the line
and left Yuri alone there. The shameless one didn't follow. I didn't want to curse! We were in church. It was just
TI! Irritating! I waited for a few minutes in our seat. I thought my wait would never end. Yuri arrived and
immediately came over to me. He knelt down for a moment and prayed. Then, he sat down next to me again.
Suddenly he grabbed my jaw. "Say ahh." Hm? "Go ahead... Open your mouth." He insisted. Even though I was
surprised, I did it. I was surprised when he suddenly handed me the wafer. "That's really for me, but I thought
I'd just give it to you." He said and smiled. I didn't say anything. I was just amazed at the time. But you're not
allowed to give the wafer that you've been handed to someone else. It happened to be Yuri. I had forgotten
about the group of girls earlier. Until the mass was completely over. He held my hand and we walked out of
the church. "Where do you want to go?" He asked me. "Y-anywhere." "Are you sure?" I just nodded curtly. I had
no idea of the nice places to go on a day like this. "Even to a motel?" My eyes widened at what he said. A few
old men who passed in front of us also looked at us. I immediately gave him a hard slap. "You're crazy!" "Just
kidding! Be quiet." "I'll kick you out! You think about it. It seems like Ci-N will be home later." He was silent for a
moment and thought. He also looked at the time on his watch. "Let's go cook." +
