Chapter-330

Ulupong

Jay-jay's POV

"The reindeer is injured." "You're a fool! You really won't stop?" I
said annoyed and he just laughed in response. From waking up until eating breakfast, that shiny reindeer had
his mouth open. I guess he wasn't satisfied and wanted a second one. I slapped him again. "I'm telling you!" I
threatened and pointed the spoon at him. "How can we have a firstborn like that?" He asked angrily . I wanted
to throw the plate in front of me at him. What a waste of food. He really won't stop until my day is ruined. "I
already choose a name for him." He said and smiled. Him? "How did you know that your firstborn is a boy?" "
I'll make sure that it's a boy. I'll pass the position." Oh shutanginamers. I suddenly threw up the rice that I had
just eaten. I didn't know how to prolong my patience. I know I was at fault last night for kicking his reindeer
but he's still a king. I'm only human, I also get angry when I get angry. "Wanna know his name?" He asked and I
nodded to finish. "Well, my name comes from a verb and I want his name to be the same. I want something
that's close to my name. So if I'm Keifer from the word keep he'll be..." He paused for a moment and smiled at
me. "Caretaker." Suddenly I burst out laughing. I almost fell off the chair and when I looked at him he was also
ery happy with his antics. That's an animal! What sane father would name his child like that? "You're crazy!"
He shook his head as he continued laughing. I guess he thought about the name for a long time. "Then if we
will be having a girl. I'll name her... Watcher." He really wasn't going to stop. I just covered my eyes with one
hand because of the consumption. Even though I sold him his antics, he was still very talkative. If he didn't
stop, I might throw the spoon I was holding. "Please... Let me eat breakfast in peace." I pleaded . Even though
his silly smile was flashing, he still nodded. It was a good thing he let me eat properly. After breakfast, I
washed our dishes. It was embarrassing for him to fix the stove so we could use it again. I don't know what
kind of fix he did. This is really the fish's fault. "Are you done?" Keiâ€"kwanan asked me. I briefly wiped my
hands before nodding at him. He invited me to the living room where there were many papers scattered on the
table. "What is that?" I asked before sitting down on the bamboo sofa. "Contract, deed of sale, land title, and
some laws regards with ownership." He explained. This is what we were talking about yesterday before we
cried in front of the bonfire. We will name this island. I'm not sure how big the island is and what it is proud of.
I know there are islands named after landmarks or trademarks found in the area. Right now all I see are
coconut palms . "Isla Palapa." I said and he looked at me. "Name it here on the island." He thought for a
moment before shaking his head. "No. Not so appealing." I pouted. He had a point. Any island has a palapa. If
that were my base, the entire Philippines should be renamed the Republic of Palapa. I looked at him for a
moment. "Isla Kumag." He frowned. "Definitely not." "Tukmol Island." I followed up and he winced. "How about
Jay's Island?" I shook my head repeatedly. "Barakuda Island?" I looked at him with a wicked look. "Do you want
to be buried alive on this island?" He just laughed at me. He was so good at munching on the table. Next time
I get the chance, I'll slap his face. That's a real viper! I was momentarily stunned when something came to my
mind. I now have a good name for this island. "Ulupong island! Tangina! That's deadly! It's a good name
because you're a stupid Ulupong!" I shouted while poking him. He just looked at me while blinking. "Ulupong
island only. You're making it harder to think." I insisted. He scratched his eyebrows for a moment. "Are you
sure about that?" "Of course." "That's what we're going to name your island?" I nodded. "Yes, the name ofâ€"." I
was stunned when I thought of his last words. "Whose island?" "Yours." He answered without hesitation. "For
me?" I repeated while pointing at myself. He nodded innocently. "This is actually for you. My greeting." Is this
island straight from London? My eyes widened as I slowly covered my mouth in shock. I don't know if I should
thank him or refuse . I know he's rich but it's still shocking. Why would someone give an island to someone?
How much is this? Is it just coins? Is it a down payment? Is this an inflatable island? It's amazing! I'm
confused about what to do. Nothing comes to my mind and the last thing I notice is that I'm running out of the
house and then I shout... "THIS ISLAND IS MINE! THIS IS MINE!" I was so happy. I rol
led around in the sand
before standing up and running towards Keiâ€"kwanan who was standing on the terrace and looking at me. "Is
this really mine?! This is really my island?!" I asked him and he smiled before nodding. I went back to running
in the sand and jumping around. Come on! I'm rich! "YES! THIS IS MY ISLAND! YOU CAN'T SCARE ME
ANYMORE, KUKAH ANGELO! I HAVE AN ISLAND!" I shouted out loud. " YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO
BOAST ANYMORE!" I added after laughing. I looked at the beach where some birds were perched and pecked
each other . I glared at them before rushing at them. "GET OUT! THIS IS MY ISLAND! RAAWWRRR!" You're not
allowed here! The birds were already flying away but I coughed because of the screaming. I was just running
again and was about to jump again before rolling on the sand. When I got up, I threw sand in the air at the
same time but suddenly the wind came towards me. There you go! Blind! I screamed as I was knocked
unconscious. I couldn't open my eyes so I couldn't walk back home. I couldn't even leave where I was
standing. "I'M BLIND! RIGHT! I'M BLIND! I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING! KWAAAANNAAAANNN!!" I screamed as loud
as I could just so he could hear me. Because I didn't know if he could hear me, I just crawled. That's why I
didn't know if the direction I was walking was right. "Right..." I called out while crying. "I'm blind...it's dark."
"What the hell." I heard Kwanan say from not far away. I stood up slightly and felt around. "Kwanan. Where are
you?" I called out crying. Make yourself felt! I heard his soft laughter. He held my hand and helped me stand
up. "Let me see." He said and tried to open my eyes but I only cried from the pain. "It's just water." He let go of
me and suddenly I felt his hands on my legs and back until I lifted myself off the sand. He started walking. I
heard his occasional laughter. I wanted to be annoyed, but I couldn't because self-pity was getting the better
of me. I stopped when I felt something close to my forehead. Was it lips? "My crazy, boyish, war freak, big
eater, Queen. I don't know what to do without you." He said and his laughter was evident. I immediately hit him
but it only hit my leg. His laughter got louder. He stopped for a moment before he slowly lowered me. He
made me bend over. "Hold still." He said and I heard the sizzling sound of the faucet and the water flow. I
almost cursed when I felt the heat of the water on my face. I almost drank the water. "Try to open your eyes."
He ordered me to do so. I immediately closed my eyes because of the pain of the water touching my eyes. I
also voluntarily moved away from the water flow. "That's enough." I said and immediately wiped my face. I
slowly opened my eyes. When I opened them properly, I immediately faced the King of Cobras. "Are you still
blind?" He asked angrily. Bwisit! "You're welcome!" I replied annoyed. "You're welcome." He turned the faucet
again to stop the water. When he came closer to me, he used the end of his shirt to wipe my entire face. He
also wiped my neck and chin. "You're a child, don't be naughty. You're going blind." He said in a motherly voice.
"Yes, mother." I answered and he laughed. "Okay. Go back to running, jumping and rolling." He pushed me. "I
don't want toâ€"." "JAY-JAY!" "â€"What was that?" We both turned around when I heard my name. It was a loud
scream but it was clearly coming from afar. It was like a jungle man shouting in the forest. We walked
together towards the beach. We couldn't see anything in the sea. "You heard it too, right?" I asked Keiâ€"
kwanan. "Yeah, I heard itâ€"." "JAY-JAY!" "There it is again!" I said in shock and looked around. "BARACUDA!" Oh,
idiot! Whatever animal that was screaming was. I'm going to rip its throat out. "YOU'RE THERE!" I quickly
replied. Suddenly, my name was called one after another. It was then that I realized that it wasn't just one
person calling me. Until I turned to the other side of the island where I ran and climbed a coconut tree. There
was a creature running towards us. I narrowed my eyes to make out who it was. It was still jumping while
waving. "JAY-JAY!" It shouted and I gradually recognized it. "Ci-N? CI-N? IT'S CI-N!!" I shouted and jumped with
joy. "CI-N!!" Finally! There was another creature besides us! I immediately ran to greet it. And I was even more
happy when I saw that it was followed by its fellow Ulopong! "Jay-jay!" "You're so skinny, Jay!" "You're so
black!" "You're a sea creature now!" I felt like drowning them one by one. It was a good thing I missed them
too so I just let the nonsense they were talking about pass. "Jay-jay!" Ci happily greeted me before we hugged.
"Ci-N!" I happily replied and jumped up and down while hugging her. We were like two idiots jumping up and
down while hugging each other. We were laughing all the time. If we acted like we hadn't seen each other in
ten years. We only stopped when we were both tired. We were panting as we waited for the chubby Ulopongs
to come closer. "I missed you all! I thought I would never see anyone else." I said dramatically and hugged
Yuri. She accepted it with a smile. "We don't really see each other on the weekends, huh? What are you acting
like?" Eman asked and I felt like slapping her. I let go of Yuri and looked at her evilly. "Have you ever drowned?
Do you want me to drown you?" They laughed out loud. If I really missed them, I would have slapped them in
the face. Who would have thought that I would also look for these Cobras? Sure, we don't often see each other
on weekends, but it's still different when I know that they're nearby and I can call them anytime to invite them
or a walk. "Keifer!" They greeted their newly arrived King. "What happened to your leg?" Felix asked, causing
them all to look at his leg marked by his shunga. "He slipped on the rock." He replied. "Aw, it hurts." Ci said in
pain. They also flinched as they looked at his wound. The others shook their heads, but of course, there were
always those who were good at annoying. "How dumb." David whispered. "I hope the rock is okay." Yuri and I
said. I wanted to laugh out loud. They were the only ones who didn't have mercy on Kei â€"kwanan. I could form
a corporation with the three of us. Or we could invite David to Yuri's club. Shunga Lovers Club. "Tss..." The King
of Cobras replied in annoyance. I looked at him for a moment. It felt like it had been a while since I last heard
rom him. I couldn't help but change my mind. "Anyway, how was the trip?" He asked them. "I'm dizzy!" Eren
replied tiredly before sitting on the sand but immediately stood up because of the heat. "I thought you were
used to shaking?" Blaster asked stupidly and they immediately looked at each other. Suddenly they pointed at
each other while their silly smiles reached their ears. I wanted to punch them because they looked like they
were ready to steal panties at night. Sprinkle sand on them. "We're late. We should have been here a while
ago. There's one there, he's on his way and he's still lying down." Felix complained while looking at Rory
angrily. "That one there, he just said he was going to buy something and then a girl followed him!" Rory
pointed at Drew. "Instead of that one! He said he was just going to pee, but that idiot already pooped!" Drew
snorted at Denzel in annoyance. "Idiot!" Denzel answered annoyed. And then he started to lecture each other
about who was at fault for being late. Even if they didn't admit it, I knew they were all late. Except for the one
next to me who was already playing in the sand. "That's early." Yuri said when he noticed me looking at Ci-N.
"So excited, I guess I didn't sleep." "What's he excited about?" He shrugged. "To see you or this island, I guess."
He immediately looked around. He was obviously amazed by the beauty of the island he was looking at.
Yes...that's my island! "This is nice." He commented. "You're nice there! It's so beautiful!" Ci countered while
clapping his hands. "Keifer's really good at choosing a place!" Edrix said annoyed and whistled. His fellow
Ulopongs applauded. Why did his praise seem so silly? There was something else. They even gave me a
thumbs up. I gave them a plastic smile because of my annoyance. I'm still waiting for a long time because I'm
happy to see them but if they don't stop I'll feed them seafood. "Just you two and Keifer here?" Ci innocently
asked. His fellow Ulopongs gradually stopped teasing but they were still making noise because of the solo
conversation. I nodded timidly in response to Ci. "So you've done it?" He asked again and everyone fell silent .
Huh? I suddenly felt a little confused because of their reactions. Even Yuri was innocently waiting for me to
answer. "W-which one?" "Talk." He clarified and we reacted at the same time . I thought what. "Talking." I
answered and looked at Keiâ€" kwan for a moment. He smiled timidly at me. I faced the Ulopongs again who
were starting to tease again. "You didn't try?" Ci innocently asked again and his fellow Ulopongs fell silent
again. What's up? And why do they have to be silent! "What?" "Going for a walk." He clarified again and our
reactions were the same . "Just around here." He nodded in acceptance of my answer. The Snakes were
starting to become active again. I knew they would tease me again later so I glared at them to make sure I
wasn't joking. "Are you tired?" The Young Kumag asked again. I was about to be consumed by his unfinished
questions. I wanted to punch him. I could also hear the soft laughter of his fellow lunatics. I just didn't want to
get angry because they might think I was being affected. It was a flash. "Tired where?" I asked a little annoyed.
"Going for a walk." He answered and the hudlongs nodded but with a hint of teasing. "You fix it, Ci." Eren said
but he was obviously very happy. The Young Kumag innocently scratched his head. I don't know if he doesn't
get that our friends are trying to trick us or if he just has other things in mind. Or maybe he did it on purpose. I
know he's smart. There are things he's still clueless about, but because of the nonsense his friends are
making, he's starting to wake up to the world. "Why? Just asking." He replied with a grin. "Let it be. You know
Ci-N,he's always curious about new things." Keiâ€"kwanan defended before facing Ci. "You can keep asking
questions." The little boy nodded and turned to face me again. Here he is again. "Is it big?" He asked without
hesitation. "W-what?!" I asked in surprise. The Ulopongs immediately laughed. Even David and Yuri were
blushing from holding back their laughter. They looked away but I could see their ears. Eman and Josh were
already kneeling on the sand. While Calix kept pushing and hitting Kit. "The island." He added innocently. I
wanted to slap him. I was just shocked by his unfinished questions. I didn't want him to think that I was
thinking something different from his question. Even that was what I was thinking. "H-I haven't seen it all yet." I
replied. "Well, it should be shown in full." Rory interjected. "Show it to Keifer, the whole thing should be." Mayo's
response. "Full becauseâ€"HA! Just you!" Eren rolled around in the sand because of the laughter. "Maybe later."
The King of the Snakes replied so I looked at him evilly but he just winked at me. "What are they saying?" Ci
asked innocently. I just shook my head. "Nothing. Leave them alone. Let's go home." I told him while pulling
his hand.
"Wait a minute. It might still hurt." He countered and the fools laughed again .
"Keifer hurt me!" Edrix said and I threw sand at him
with my foot.
I faced Ci. "Where could I get hurt?!" I asked annoyed.
"By walking without slippers."
I let out a violent sigh. I didn't want to show that
I was affected by Ci's silly questions. That's why I was really close
to getting angry especially since the shameless ones kept laughing.
Don't stop! You queens!
"Jay, is it delicious?" He asked again.
"That's enough! My stomach hurts!"
"Ci-N!"
"Enough asking!"
"What are your questions? Ask them in full!"
"Go on vacation here on the island?" When he finished,
his silly smile began to shine.
I was telling him. He did it on purpose!
I raised my hand and threatened to punch him in the head. He immediately
defended himself by raising both arms.
It was as if all my stress had returned.
