Chapter-272

Warning

Keifer's POV

My wound hurts but I don't care. I don't care about this wound. I have to do what I have
to do. "We just made a plan and now you're lying there." Keigan scolded me like an adult man. "I didn't like it." I
said almost whispering. He released a heavy sigh. "I'm going home to take care of Keiren." He walked away
but before reaching the door he turned to me. "Please... Have a full rest." My lips form in a thin line and answer
him in a small nod. He walked out the door. I felt like I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard the click of the
doorknob. Keigan became bossy while scolding me. I instantly forgot whose eldest between us. I only gave
him authority to be the head planner. But it seems I also gave him authority to be my boss. Tss... The CR door
opened slightly and Yuri peeked in. "Is he gone?" He asked. "Is he gone... Get out of there." He widely opened
the door before walking out of the comfort room. Felix, Ci-N and David are walking after him. They were
orced to hide in the CR when they found out Keigan was coming. He was sure that he would contact us when
he found out we had a plan. Just because my friends were present, he was already suspicious . Even our
other friends were forced to leave the room just to hide from him. I just don't understand why they all
disappeared. One or two could have been left behind. "The CR smells. The smell is the winner." Felix said while
smelling himself. "That's not CR. That's my fart you smelled." Ci-N answered and laughed. I could see Felix
wincing. He was about to shake his head but David beat him to it. "Oh..." "Don't lie. Your fart doesn't smell
good. That's tested and proven." David said. "...Jay-jay can also prove it." Our eyes automatically looked at him.
It was as if he had said a strange word. "Oh... Insensitive." Ci whispered but it was as if he really meant it. "Oh
why? Isn't Jay-jay the reason we're here? Stop acting surprised every time you hear her name." David said
before crossing his arm. Ci looked at me while smirking. It was as if she was waiting for me to answer. David
had a point but I couldn't help but turn my head when I heard his name. Especially when it came from his
mouth. "That's enough. Call the others. We have a lot to talk about ." I said to make them stop. "I did it." It was
Yuri while holding his phone. It didn't take long before the door opened and the guys came in. They were still
making noise while the others pushed each other. "Damn it, Pre! I was really nervous about Keigan. His
presence is different now." Drew said. "Nothing has changed. He's just more arrogant." Blaster said annoyed. It
seemed like their fight wasn't over yet. "Wow... Brave. Your brother is here. In front of you." Denzel teased,
referring to me. "What? I'm not here for him. I'm here for Jay-jay." It doesn't really matter to me if he still has an
issue with Keigan. He just had the guts to say that in front of me. He's right that he's here because of Jay-jay.
That's what I want anyway. "Are we all complete?" Yuri asked them. They looked at each other to see if
something was missing. "It seems missing." "Yes." "We're missing." I look and silently count them. It seems
like nothing is missing. "Who's missing?" Felix asked. "Ci-N is missing." It was Drew who answered. Ci quickly
stood up and pointed to himself. "Here I am!" He said. They all look at him with this weird smile. I feel like I
know what they're going to say next. "You're standing up. We never saw you." Mayo started and they all laugh.
I smiled briefly. Right now I don't have anything to worry about with them. I know they won't abandon Jay-jay,
especially when I leave. "I'll be tall too. You know!" Ci replied annoyed. She still crossed her arms while leaning
against the wall. The fools ignored her. "That's enough. Let's talk about our plan." I said and they seriously look
at me. The truth is, I was still thinking about this last night. I'm going to challenge all the groups in our area. If
they don't go through with the threat, that's what I'll do. And when I lose them....they will become my
underdogs. Keigan told me to have more allies. And that's what I'm doing now. Gathering all the allies that I
can get. I'll start at the bottom before I get more powerful ones. Just like Angelo. "We've sent a warning to our
previous opponents." Yuri said while still holding his phone. "...as expected, they just laugh and ask if they
could have a one on one fight with you." "There are others among them who are demanding conditions." Rory
added. "...they want to face you and fight you but when you lose. You will become their servant." "This is not
possible. No one wants to listen to the warning we sent." Edrix said and put his hand on his chin. "If that's not
possible, maybe it's better if we just ask Jay-jay's cousin for help." Drew suggested. Yuri and I looked at him. I
know they know Jay's cousin is strong but I don't know that they know anything about what he does and what
he's capable of. "What do you mean?" I ask. "Tiger told me what kind of person Jay's older brother is. He has
more tentacles than we expected. He's been saving all of that since he was a child. We can use it to protectâ€"."
I cut him off. "No! We're not going to ask for his help." "I think Drew is right." David said. "...whether we admit it
or not, we're weak. We lack experience and people who can help us." "That's why we're doing this. To change
that." Yuri said. "We don't have time. We can't have trial and error anymore." It was Denzel. "I don't agree with
asking his older brother for help." Felix interrupted. "...I guarantee the price will be high." "He'll keep Jay-jay
away from us!" Ci-N shouted and looked scared. He even slapped both of his hands in his face. "It's better!
After all, he's not safe here with us!" Josh answered. "How can you be sure that he's safe away from us?" I
asked and they all shut their mouths. "...it's harder to take risks, especially if he's far away." "Keifer is right."
Yuri agreed. "It'll be hard for us if he gets away. Maybe the people we fought against will follow him wherever
he goes ." That's why he can't be away from our friends. He's safer if he's here. "Hurry up and decide, Keifer.
Maybe when you make up your mind, ten groups will rush to Jay." Calix said. I nodded. Right now I can't rush
to the groups inviting me to fight. I'm still in the hospital and the Doctor still won't let me go out. They continue
talking about plans. Some gave suggestions while the other gave their opinions. Some also said to ask
Angelo for help. Tss... No way. I know he already has an inkling of what's going on. He's probably just waiting
or me to come to him and of course he'll give me a condition that I can't refuse. Angelo is too smart. It's hard
to be alone. If I had to learn from him how to be smart to outsmart the enemy. "Keifer!" Felix called me.
"...Brother texted! Jay-jay just finished fighting with a group." I was overcome with worry. This is what I was
saying. "How's Jay?" Yuri asked. "He's fine. It's just that the group he fought with looked like the group we
ought with before." Damn it! No one really wanted to listen to the warning we sent. I have no choice. "Ci-N!
Call your father, tell him to discharge me now." I said and forced myself to stand up. They all came up to me to
stop me. "Stop it!" Yuri shouted at me. "How will you fight when you're like this? You haven't even regained
your strength yet!" "I will hunt those bastards and use them as an example." "We'll do it." David said that made
me stop. "Don't force it. And besides, they're just weak. We can handle it." "Dabid is right. We'll take care of it.
You rest and then come up with a plan." Ci-N said while stretching his legs. Obviously warming up for a fight.
He wasn't obviously excited. "I'll go with them." Yuri said and forced a smile. "... It's the least that I could do."
"I'll be left here. I'll fix the message we'll send. Just send me the pictures right away." It was Edrix while taking
his laptop out of his bag. "Let's go! Let's go!" Mayo said. "I'll be left behind." Kit said and they all looked at him.
"...I think we and Keifer have something to talk about." "I'll be left behindâ€"." It was Mayo but immediately cut
by Eren. "You'll come with us. Let's let them talk first." He said and I saw Mayo clenched his fist. What for? The
others started to leave. Yuri made sure I wouldn't run away before leaving. The others followed and only the
three of us, Edrix and Kit were left. "Can they handle it?" Edrix asked while looking at the close door. "It seems
you don't trust them." Kit said and he immediately shook his head. "Not like that. The Gangs are more
aggressive now because Ram is gone. They are looking for a new leader and they are the candidates." Edrix
explained. He was right. They will try to become higher. They think I am the obstacle to do that so Jay-jay is
their target so I can't fight. "You're right but don't forget... Jay-jay said, we're Ulupong." Kit said that makes us
smile. "I don't know your connection but it's true, we're Ulupong." Edrix answered and shook his head. Both of
them look at me. I smirk while I'm shaking my head. Yeah I know. You're all an Ulupong and I'm the King. I lay
back at my bed to rest. My wound hurts because of my insistence on standing earlier. Maybe my wound is
deep. I should have never allowed that Z to make a move. I don't know if he survived what his friend did to
him. It would have been better if he hadn't. I was planning to close my eyes to sleep. I'm confident that our
riends will do what they said. That's why I'm not being visited by sleepiness. I heard Edrix inform Kit. I look at
them before Edrix walks out of the door. Kit faces me and forces a smile. "He's just going to buy food." He
said and I nodded. He sat down on the sofa just across from where I was lying. He obviously looks
uncomfortable and it makes me pissed. "Do you want to say something?" I said in a serious tone. He flinched.
"W-what... Because. About what you found outâ€"what we and Jay-jay didâ€"even though there was nothing...
What... W-we didn'tâ€"." "Kit." I cut him off. "I'm having trouble understanding you." He scratched his head. He
also winced and it was obvious he was having a hard time saying anything. He took a deep breath. "A-about
what you found out. What you heard Mayo and I were fighting about." I frowned but tried my best to remain
calm. When I remembered that, my blood boiled quickly. "When you kissed Jay-jay." I said as a statement and
not as a question of confirmation. He bowed. "I just tried but it didn't work." I turned my head slightly. I wanted
to stand up and hit him with a punch. He tried to kiss Jay-jay.... My Jay-jay. Even though it didn't work out, I'm
still not happy. He tried to kiss my Queen. No one is allowed to kiss her. I will never allow anyone to kiss her.
She's mine and what's mine will always be mine. I took a deep breath to reduce the anger I felt. "You know
what exactly you did, right?" I asked sound irritated. "I..." "How dare you try to touch her." I said trying my best
to remain calm. "...You try to claim what is mine. Do you dream of dying in my hands?" I saw him swallow. I
looked at my hands. I realized that my fists were clenching. "I-I know... When you fence me in, no one else can
come near." He said. "...but I didn't do it to take her from you." I look at him like I'm about to kill him. For the
first time, he looks at me straight in the eye. It's like he's equalizing me just by looking at me. It's like he's
challenging meâ€"no! It's like he's fighting. "Explain." I said. "I wasn't myself at that time. Jay-jay was the only
one in front of me and was ready to listen to meâ€"with my problem." He explained. "...I asked him for help." He
smiled slightly. "But he punched me. We were both shocked but that was the way to wake me up." "I don't see
the connection of your explanation from trying to kiss her." He nodded shortly. "I asked him for help Keifer. I
asked him for help to do..." I saw regret in his eyes but immediately shrugged it away. "...do..." He breathed
heavily. "...a real man." My forehead creased. "W-what?" "I'm gay Keifer." I lost my words. I don't know what to
say. Did he just say the word 'gay'? He's Kit, one of my friends. One of the people I always expected. He
doesn't back down in battle. There's a certain swagger and a constant confusion among women following
Eren. He is Kit and...He's gay? "W-wait...what?" Is the only thing that comes out of my mouth. He scratched his
cheeks as a sign of irritation. "Do I need to repeat myself?" I shook my head. "No. It's just thatâ€"how?" "I don't
know how. All I know is I no longer feel attractions to women." He said. I stared at him for a while. I'm putting
everything in my mind and trying my best to understand it. "So... Y-you're gay." I said still lost in words. "...You
romantically like man and not woman." He nodded slowly. "You don't really like or feel attractions to Jay-jay."
He slowly shook his head. My lips slowly form a smile. I can't believe this. Until I couldn't help myself and I
laughed out loud. Shiiiit! All this time I thought that he also like Jay-jay. I thought he also has special feelings
or her. I thought I would be watching out for something new. "K-keifer... Are you okay?" Kit asked. I still
couldn't stop laughing. I also touched my wound because it hurt but I kept going. "You're gay and you don't
really like Jay-jay." I said still laughing. "Not that I don't like. I mean, I like her as an individual." I felt tired from
laughing so I stopped. I also adjusted my bed. "I thought I would also need to watch you. I feel relieved." I said
to him. He looked at me confused. "So, it doesn't bother you if I'm gay?" I shook my head. "What are you
looking for?" "No." "Then I have no reason to feel bothered. You're the same Kit that I know. Still my friend and
still my classmates. Nothing changes unless you wish to change your sex to female." He immediately shook
his head. "No. I'm not changing it." "Then I have no reason to feel bothered." I said and he smiled. "... at least
I'm comfortable to ask you to take care Jay-jay." He looked confused. "Why would you ask that?" I cleared my
throat. "I have to go back to London before my birthday. With all I have to do, I have to be there a month
before." "W-what about Jay-jay? Is that all? Are you going to leave him or us with no clue what's really going
on?" "Trust me. It's better to be this way. The less you know the safer it will be for Jay-jay." I said. He's about to
say something when the door opened. It was Edrix holding too many foods in his arms. "Kit! Help!" Edrix
shouts. Kit looked at me first before running towards him. He had a lot of food, most of which were large junk
oods. They put it on the coffee table next to the sofa. "Okay... Chibog first." Edrix said while rubbing his palms
together . He was about to open one when he noticed us looking at him and not moving. "Why?" He asked.
"You're doing this on purpose. You know I can't eat yet." I said sounds irritated. "Have you checked your
phone? Maybe they've messaged you." Kit said, "You're so annoying." He said before taking his phone out of
his pocket. "...oh that's it! The message just arrived." He took out his laptop and typed it. He was clearly
excited. "Type my message down." I commanded and he gave me the go signal. "...this is the first warning.
Cross my path and I'll break some bones. Touch my girl and I will open the gates of hell. Don't test my
patience, I can be a living beast." I'm a Watson, I am cursed and I am turning into a beast. Because I am in
love. +
