Chapter-321

Chocolate

Jay-jay's POV

I'M NOT HUNGRY!! Why would I be
hungry? It's just chocolate. I can buy that, not now but next time. "Get that out of my sight." I ordered irritated.
"Don't you dare touch anything!" This one replied with a sneer. I'm really getting pissed off. I was about to get
punched. That was what I really wanted, to punch Keiâ€"kwanan many times. His swollen face made his
siblings not recognize him anymore. I held a box of chocolates and I could clearly see the hungry Ulopongs'
aces light up. They followed my hand movements. I was about to move the table but I was stopped when the
teacher entered the room. The kids immediately adjusted their seats, while I was still struggling with the pile
of chocolate. "Let's start." The teacher said and didn't even pay attention to my situation. Eh? The other
teachers really don't care about us. Sometimes I feel like they just come in because that's what's needed. They
don't even teach properly. Sir Alvin is the only one who really loves us. I was forced to let go of my grip and
pick up my notebook. I was still inhaling the smell of chocolate so I was having even more difficulty. I even
offered a million bucks. I'm not starving! Meserep lehet! I swallowed hard when my eyes caught sight of a
black box with a golden ribbon. I had seen this before on TV and they said it was a limited edition and was
usually only seen by royalty. The taste was different from other chocolates because the process of making it
took a long time and there were no preservatives added. I wasn't starving! The smell! I coughed when I tried to
take a deep breath and inhale the smell. The smell of chocolate was really fragrant. It really made me want to
eat them. I wasn't starving! There were so many! I was looking up at the board but my eyes were automatically
dropping to my desk. I couldn't take my eyes off the small chocolate with the gold wrapper and it had
separated from the container. He probably wouldn't notice. Just one. I was happy with this little one. This was
all I could taste without them knowing, I was already so happy! Especially if the sly King of the Cobras didn't
know that I couldn't stand it. I simply pushed my notebook closer. It was as if I was holding both of my hands
on top of it. My face was still up, looking at the board, but my eyes were still down. Just a little bit. I could
barely breathe, just to do my plan properly. And when one of my hands touched the target, I almost smiled
broadly. It was a good thing I stopped myself. No one should have noticed. I could have carried out the plan,
but I was stopped by hearing Ci-N's soft call to me. When I peeked at him, I almost flinched because of his
appearance. He was hunched over the table but facing me. His eyes were wide open as if he wasn't blinking.
He was also gnawing so much that saliva kept coming out of his mouth. I was forced to let go of the
chocolate I had gotten. I wanted to cry. These chocolates are making me suffer. I still can't write properly
because there's nowhere to put my notebook and arm. I know David is writing. I'll probably just copy from him
again. I simply looked at him because my neck still hurts. He was awake and active because of the way his
legs moved as if he was bored. I couldn't tell if he was writing because one of his fists was pressed against
his muzzle and nose. My eyebrows slightly furrowed when I noticed him repeatedly glancing at my desk. Oh, I
know. This Kei-kwanan animal! I'm not the only one struggling with what he's doing. Even his fellow Ulopongs
are struggling. I bent down slightly while rubbing my neck. My stiff neck seemed to be getting worse . It was
just a whimper! I was really crying. I've been holding back for some reason I don't understand. If I had only
seen him at the door, I might not have come in. I really wish I had looked first. I wouldn't have been in hell like
this. On the other hand, it was a good thing because when Kuya found out that I didn't come in. I have a
ringing doorknob with a snort with the consolation price of a sermon. Kuya Angelo, please understand me.
Honestly, this is not how I expected our next meeting. I really expected them to tell me but it felt like I was
being left alone again. I was the one who didn't know. If they had let me know about her arrival, I would have
been prepared. Long gown with make up and a proper hair salon. Rampa! I would have looked so pretty when I
greeted her. I would have even done a cat walk. Then I would have parted my hair in front of her. With
tantalizing eyes and biting my lips. At the same time, I would have swung my fist in her face. Followed by
kneeling and stomping on her chest. When she falls down, I would have taken her under. If she is still alive,
just hit her with a bench or a table. If she is still breathing, just stab her with a ballpoint pen. Hey, I should have
been prepared. I inhaled the smell of chocolate again. I am more addicted to inhaling the smell than her. I
don't think she is really that into sniffing chocolate? I may look like an addict but I am not. I've already taken a
ew deep breaths. I've reflected on my sin several times. I really don't understand why I'm being tortured like
this. I've become a good personâ€"if not for my antics! So there's no one else to blame for my suffering but the
Demon King of Cobras. And I also blame his fellow rascals for not telling me the truth. We're all going to suffer
the same way ! Our class ended. As soon as the teacher left, I felt like I had a lot of guilt behind my back. "Jay,
Keifer doesn't deserve your anger." Rory whispered. What's the connection? "He loves you, promise." Edrix
whispered. That love is fake. "Take it. Don't put up with him anymore." Calix whispered. "I'll give Mica too." You
can just buy it. " I have a wife and child who depend on me." Denzel whispered that you thought you lost your
job. This is just chocolate, not a livelihood. "Jay..." Josh whispered, almost making me jump out of my chair. I
elt like I was being whispered to by the coldness of his voice. I turned to them and because of the pain in my
neck, I had to follow suit. My eyebrows furrowed when I saw that almost all of them were seated behind me. If
only the ones with their heads were all smiling and the others were just being pitiful. I was about to curse at
them but their King stole my attention. He kept walking closer to my table and took a small piece of chocolate
wrapped in gold. He rudely peeled it and ate it as if we weren't suffering from what he was doing. You bastard!
He kept chewing it as if we weren't watching. I swallowed it on my own because of salivation. He took another
bite and ate it again. For some reason I couldn't understand, I stared at his jaw. His jawline was beautiful. Has
he been like that before? The next thing I noticed was his neckâ€"sush! I care about his jaw and neck! I have
that too! Calm down, guuurr! All the men around you have that. He was about to take another bite when he
noticed the stare I was making. I immediately moved away and simply massaged my neck. "You want?" He
offered as he brought the chocolate closer to me. I shook my head weakly. "N-no. You're bad at being strong."
I said almost in a whisper. "What?" "You're bad at being strong!" I said annoyed while pointing at the
chocolates. His arrogant smile flashed again. I winked one after another. This Londoner must have a lot of
arrogance. This Ulopong hasn't even fallen off a bridge yet. You'd think he was the only one with soft red lips
when he smiled. I'll kiss youâ€"the floor! Kiss the floor! You're so cute! He took it again and removed the
wrapper again. I fully thought he was going to eat it but he brought the hand holding the chocolate closer to
me. My head slightly moved back but thanks to my stiff neck I was able to stop immediately. "Say ah." He said
and brought the chocolate closer to my mouth. Jusko po! He was tempting me. I bit both of my lips just to
stop myself from opening my mouth. I was about to lose to the hissing of this Keiâ€"kwanan animal. He was
twirling it around in front of my face. I smelled it so much and my mouth started to salivate quickly. "There's
the train, open your mouth now!" "He's tempting you!" "He's going to eat it! He's going to eat it!" The instigators
of this Cobra were instigating. They thought they could cook me like that. It's just chocolate! My pride is more
precious than that! Even if he ordered me to build an entire factory! Even if he had to plant cacao for me! Even
if he had to harvest and grind it to make chocolate! I WILL NOT END UP WITH LIFE! I still have to face their
King with my head held high. And when he realized that I wasn't really going to open my mouth, he pulled his
hand away with a smirk. "Maybe you'll eat it this way." He said and pressed the chocolate to his lips before
bending over to me. Wait a minute! I'm not ready! My eyes widened and I forced myself to move away even
though I heard the crack of my neck. It was like my neck was gone. "There it is, Jay! It's already open!" "It's the
lips I want to take a bite of." My nostrils almost widened from the deep breath. He smiled again so I looked at
his lips again. It seemed like the laâ€"CHOCOLATE tasted so good!! I quickly looked away. Why am I looking at
that? I'm looking at my lipsâ€"that chocolate. It's already in his mouth, it's dirty. I might get some germs from
him if I take itâ€"if I take it. Of course I won't take it even though I feel like I want to take it, I shouldn't. He must
have realized that I didn't really intend to take it, so he continued eating. I breathed a sigh of relief when he
moved away slightly. His annoying smile was still on. He was forced to return to his seat when the next
teacher arrived. My stomach was starting to growl. I had only eaten a small amount of breakfast. Four
hotdogs, three bacon, four ham, one egg, and two spoonfuls of fried rice. It was really small, usually five of
each . If I had only known that their pest King would come, I would have buried the refrigerator. Or I would
have ordered a buffet and eaten it all here. That's why I'm probably going to be robbed by the dead, I'm already
hungry. Class started with my eyes almost blurry, not because of hunger but because I was crying from
annoyance. I felt like I was being oppressed and these Cobras were the instigators of my torture. They were
oppressing me. I couldn't write anymore because there was no place for my notebook and arm. I was just
speechless until our teacher started teaching in front of me. Nothing else came to my mind. I really wanted to
grab these chocolates and quickly eat them. Time passed without me realizing it, until the teacher started
putting away the things. I could literally hear the clock ticking as I watched her put the things in the bag one by
one. I was determined! I can't be oppressed like this. No one can oppress me like this. Even if it's a president
or a king, I won't allow myself to be oppressed like this. The teacher stood up and left the room. When she
was out of my sight, I just stood up.I knew everyone was looking at me and waiting for what I would do. I took
a deep breath before stepping out of my seat. I stopped next to my table. "Jay?" Ci called out to me in
surprise. I glanced at him for a moment before looking at my table where the chocolates were. I took another
deep breath. I closed my eyes for a moment before quickly picking up the boxes of chocolates. Because of
what I did immediately
the Snakes shouted and quickly ran towards
my table.
"AAYYAAANNN NAAA!! I CAN'T STAND IT TOO!"
"HEY! HEY! MINE!"
"THERE'S A GO SIGNAL!"
"P AAAHHIIIINNNGGGGIII!"
"NEXT! RAWR!"
It was a good thing I was able to run out of the room quickly.
I just leaned against the wall next to the door. I hugged the chocolates
I got. I looked at them and was so grateful because I got the
black box that I had been warming up earlier.
Yesss, panes!
"You want more?"
I almost jumped in shock. My eyes widened when
I looked at the speaker. And when I saw who it was, I felt like
slamming him into the door.
The shiny, pestilent, demonic King of
Snakes was leaning against the door frame. I immediately moved away from the wall I was leaning against
and
hugged the chocolates tightly. He took the opportunity to
leave completely.
He seemed to grow tallerâ€"please?!
I raised my head to face him as if I were a matron
collecting rent.
"Later, we'll talk." He said.
"Why? Why? Did I agree?" I asked arrogantly, hiding
the chocolate behind me.
He laughed for a moment while shaking his head. He thought
he found his laughter handsome.
"C'mon. You accept the chocolate."
That was a unique accent!
"What now?"
"You can't resist me."
"Chocolate is the only thing that can be resisted."
"I'll give you more chocolate." He said with a smile.
What he said was like a bell ringing in my brain. More chocolate more
chances of winning. But it's not possible, because I'm not starving. And
I know this arrogant man has a plan.
My eyes narrowed at him. "You won't be able to eat me."
"I have many gifts for you." He replied, still smiling.
If I was captivated by his accent when he spoke English,
I was even more captivated now that he was speaking in English. It felt like I
hadn't heard him speak Tagalog in a hundred years .
His voice had become more baritoneâ€"please?!
"Just give me your pasalubong! Just don't talk to me anymore!"
I said annoyed while frowning.
"You don't want my pasalubong?"
I raised my eyebrows almost reaching the ceiling. "I don't want it!
Whatever it is! I don't want it!"
"Even food?"
Hey, he said food.
My eyes rolled and I turned away from him slightly. My face almost
lengthened at what he said. This Ulopong is smart,
he knows my weakness.
"What food is that?" I asked threateningly.
His annoying smile flashed again. He took a step closer to
me, making me step back but he was fast and in an instant
he was holding a strand of my hair that was blocking my face.
My body literally froze. I might end up like the one
Yuri pulled out at the mall. He came closer to me.
"W-why?" I couldn't help but tremble with nervousness.
You're welcome!
When we were close enough, he pulled my hair back and
put it behind my ear. My heart almost jumped out of my chest
.
What are you doing there?
"I'm glad to hear that you're still the same Jay. The same girl that I
adore and love so much." He said and my hand came down to my cheek.
Adore and love? Am I a puppy?
I blinked at the coldness of his hand. I just stared into
his eyes as his face got closer to mine. He didn't take
his eyes off me either and when we were barely an arm's length away,
he closed his eyes.
My eyes narrowed and I quickly lifted the box of
chocolates I was holding and held them right in front of his face. I heard
him moan.
"That's the chocolate from you. Come on! There! Slap it!"
I said annoyed and pushed the box in his face. "There's your kiss!
Snake!"
Just got back and want to score? Is it too much?
Enough to make you angry. Did he think that was all?
I wouldn't waste more than a month of crying and cursing
at him for just one kiss. With all the wrongs he's done to me, he wouldn't be
able to just let me go like that!
I pushed the box hard in his face, causing
him to move away from me. I took a deep breath due to the mixture of nervousness and anger.
He grabbed his nose and mouth.
"It's nice to cuddle with chocolate, isn't it?" I said sarcastically and
I heard him laugh softly.
"As expected from my queen." He replied and shook his head.
My queen?
Where did I hear or read that? Familiar.
I glared at him as he lowered his hand and smiled again
. His nose was red.
"Stop it. I'm not happy with you." I said threateningly
.
"How I miss your feistiness."
What did he say?
"I didn't miss you."
"I didn't ask."
"You're welcome!"
The shameless smile widened. I was the one who was really annoyed and
wanted to kick her. If I could just step on her,
I would have done it earlier.
I was really just stretching my patience. I'm really pissed off.
I'll turn the whole school upside down in her face. I'll see if she can smile again.
"Keep cursing. Always remember that I'm counting it." She said and
winked again.
Keep winking! I'll gouge your eyes out.
