Unexpected visit
Jay-jay's POV
How is this? This is just a messenger with all the noise. I guess the Ulopongs are messing around in the group chat again. I don't want to open it, maybe I'll just get annoyed by what they're saying. That's why I can't stand the noise. I was about to uninstall the messenger but I stopped when I saw that I had a message from Freya. I frowned. She just sent me a message. I immediately felt like she was going to say something bad. I opened her message and read it. Freya: Who the hell is this guy? She really can't stand not knowing who gave her the letter. I felt like she was interested too. Ayeih! I want to too. I guess. I smiled at the idea that came to my mind. I really need to convince Edrix. Our effort would be a waste if in the end he really didn't want to show up or even introduce himself. Another message came from Freya. Freya: Make sure that this isn't Percy. My smile disappeared and was replaced by a grimace. How could I explain what I was doing to my stepbrother? He would deï¬nitely get mad at me. What would he say? I pushed Freya away from him myself. I should have thought of a full explanation to Percy before I told this woman about Edrix. After all! But if my brother gets mad at me, I hope it's a wake-up call to him that the woman he loves doesn't want him anymore. It's so obvious, but why can't he seem to get it? Is he that obsessed with this coloring book? I'll just buy him a canvas and have him paint on it. I curl up in my bed like a fetus in the womb. Sometimes I get so thoughtful. Arrogant with a mind. Why can't I sometimes stop myself from interfering with others? I feel like I'm involved in their issues even though I'm not. I feel like I should do something to help them.I feel like I have super powers â€" charot! I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door followed by the opening. I quickly got up because I looked embarrassed. My brother's serious face dawned on me. "Why?" I asked innocently. "I just want to know something." He said and I nodded. "Lechon is delicious but liempo is also delicious." I replied but his forehead quickly furrowed. "Speghatti is also delicious but nothing beats pansit malabon." "What?" "Leche plan is delicious but sansrival or crema de pruta is even better." He took a deep breath before bowing for a moment. When he raised his head, he forced a smile at me. "Your brain looks like it's full of oil and fat. All you can think about is food." He said seriously. I pouted. I didn't know! He didn't have anything else to ask me at this time. He was too vague to ask me about lessons at school because he knew I wasn't smart. "What's it about?" "Freya and the love letter." I quickly looked away. I knew that if I told her The truth is, he'll tell that coloring book and Rory and I'll ruin our plan . "W-what's that?" I asked, seemingly clueless. "Who are the letters from?" "What letter?" He raised an eyebrow for a moment. "Don't get me started." He said with a hint of threat. "What letter?" I insisted. "Letter A, B, C, D or E. Which one?" He raised his palm and was about to slap me. I immediately raised my arm to block it just in case. "I'm talking about the letter you gave to Freya." He sighed. "I saw her reading the letter and I don't like how she reacts." "What's her reaction?" "Why do you want to know?" "Just answer." I insisted. He stared at me for a few seconds before speaking. "I can see glimpses of happiness but she manages to give stoic expression." I smiled at what I heard but I immediately pulled back when I remembered that I was facing my close friend who held the fate of the world. "Now tell me who that came from." He ordered me. "I don't know." I answered tonelessly. "It was just handed to me." "What?" I nodded. "It was just handed to you." "Who handed it to you?" I pretended to scratch my head. "I don't remember. I don't know him either." He sighed loudly before turning his back on me and walking away. I heard him curse one after another out of annoyance but I didn't know what was causing that annoyance. When I was sure he was gone, I immediately closed the door to my room and looked for my cellphone. I sent Rory a message and told him what I found out about Freya's vacation. I smelled hope. I elt my stomach rumble. All I smelled was food. I put my cellphone down on the study table before walking out. I was about to take a long step toward the kitchen but I stopped before I reached the living room. I overheard what Tita Gema and Kuya Angelo were talking about . "Should we tell Jay-jay? He might just be disappointed." "That's right, he was already disappointed when Tita introduced her new wife. What difference would it make if he found out the wedding wasn't going to happen?" I covered my mouth in shock. What happened? Why wasn't it going to happen? Could it be that my suspicions about Andy the apple weren't true? He had a girlfriend and Mama already found out the truth? I didn't feel any sadness from the news I heard but there was a little regret. I also thought that he was okay for Mama. It seems like my Mother made another mistake. Okay. Thank you, next! They said to try and try until you succeed. But if I'm the one who follows, I don't want him to ï¬nd another wife. He hasn't even gotten back to me or Aries and me yet and that's what he prioritizes. He should take care of us ï¬rst. I shrugged and went down the stairs. I also passed by the living room with a dead smile and didn't seem to hear what they were talking about me and Mama. I went straight to the kitchen and looked for something to snack on. I saw a buko salad and mango pie. I immediately grabbed a bowl to put it in. I was about to pass out when someone hugged me from behind and covered my mouth. Due to the shock, I couldn't move at ï¬rst but he dragged me out of the dirty kitchen, I was panicking. I elbowed him a few times and I heard him moan. Powta! Is it kidnapping again? I didn't realize that he had completely dragged me to the laundry area. He let go of me and I was about to kick him when it became clear to me who he was. "Y-yuri?" He was wearing a baseball cap and a black t-shirt but the fresh blood on his clothes wasn't hidden . I quickly ate my nerves but I orced myself to ï¬nd out his condition . "Y-you're bleeding. You should be taken to the hospital." If I was scared to see the fresh blood on my clothes, I was even more scared of what he said to me. "This is not mine." I pointed to his clothes even though my hands were shaking. "Whose is that?" He was breathing deeply and showing signs of fatigue. He shook his head before taking off his baseball cap. "Someone attacked me. I managed to escape and the next thing I know I'm here." He said and wiped the sweat with his palm. I noticed the scratch on his ï¬st. I also couldn't help but notice the mark on his neck that looked like someone had strangled him. Confused by what I was seeing and what he was saying and when I turned back to his clothes, it felt like someone was digging into my stomach and I couldn't help but vomit. He immediately approached me to help me. He also rubbed my back. "What's the problem?" He asked and helped me get to the sink to wash myself. "Y-the blood on your clothes." I answered and he immediately took off his clothes. He dropped it into the sink and quickly turned on the tap. He let the water run to wash away the blood. I moved away to give him space. His white skin was shiny but covered in scars. I couldn't escape the bruises he had obviously gotten from the ï¬ght. There were also a few scratches and wounds. "Do you know who attacked you?" He shook his head. "No. It happened too quickly." "We should report it to the police." He shook his head. "It's too bad. They can't be found either." "I'm confused. What's going on?" He sighed before facing me. The tiredness and hardship in his expression were obvious. "T-there are some people..." He was clearly struggling to say. "Yuri." He closed his eyes for a moment before forcing a smile. I didn't like the way he smiled at me. He was acing a big one. More than I thought when he ï¬rst told me the story. "It's better if you only know a little. I don't wanna put your life at risk." "But..." "Please..." he said and slowly fell from where he was standing. I tried to catch him but that caused both of us to fall. I immediately got up and faced him. "Y-yuri..." I patted his cheek but I didn't get any answer from him. I couldn't help but panic. I thought about going into the house to call Kuya Angelo but I immediately changed my mind. Kuya can't see him in this condition especially since he didn't pass by the house and there was still blood on his clothes. But he needs help. The only people I could think of who could help me were the Ulopong. I fumbled for my cellphone in my pocket. That's how annoyed I was when I remembered that I had put it down on the table before leaving the room. I pulled myself up even more. Yuri was unconscious and she also didn't have a top. What would the people in this house think if they saw her? People here are still thinking ahead. I looked at a closed door. As far as I remember, this was where Auntie and her driver's room should be. But they didn't have a driver so the room was completely empty. I quickly approached the door and opened it. Luckily the door wasn't locked. There were a few things piled up. There was a mattress still wrapped in plastic but covered in dust. That's ï¬ne! I just grabbed some clothes rom the clothesline and used them to wipe the mattress. I was just sad when I saw that what I got was Aries' uniform. I just don't want him to know what I was doing, I might curse that for the rest of my life, bad luck. I'm sorry. I immediately approached Yuri and tried to wake him up but nothing worked. Knocked out. I just tried to lift him the way I knew how. I pulled his leg or carried him. No matter what I did, he was still heavy. I just stood behind him and put both arms around his armpits and then pulled a rope to pull him and carry him to the room. I suddenly felt sorry for him when I saw the scratches he had from my pulling. He was already bruised and then even more scratched because of me. I let his scratches and scrapes go for now. I went out and picked up a blanket from the clothesline. I was going to put it back when I recognized the blanket. I was going to get a terrible curse. I wrapped Yuri up for a moment before running out. I was about to go inside the house when I remembered his clothes. I put them back in the sink. I was going to touch the clothes but I could see the clothes mixing with the water. No one in the house could see it. I just held the clothes tightly and kneaded them as if I were making bread. I also sprinkled some soap on them and rubbed them. Why did he think gray was the color he thought of today? I stopped when I thought about the clothes I was wearing. I also put my clothes on . I quickly looked for a replacement on the clothesline but I got another one. I didn't care who owned it anymore. I took my clothes to the sink and did the laundry again. It was up to me whether they would get clean or not. When I didn't see any more blood, I threw the clothes into the washing machine. I knew Auntie's washing machine was automatic but there were so many buttons! There were some other symbols and numbers. I couldn't see the handle like Grandma's washing machine. I just pressed everything until it started. I continued walking inside the house. I walked and ran until I got to my room. I immediately got clothes for Yuri and I also grabbed my cellphone. "Jay-jay!" Aries called as I came out of my room. "Did you seeâ€" Is that my shirt?" I slightly covered what I was wearing. "H-no. You just thought so." "That's mine. Why are you wearing that?" I shook my head. He was about to come closer to me when I pushed him. He leaned against the wall and was clearly shocked by what I did. I was also shocked by the action but he wouldn't stop me and Yuri needed me. "What the fvck?!" "This is mine! This is mine now!" I shouted right in his face and walked away. Forgive me! Don't curse me! I ï¬rst looked for alcohol and cotton before heading to the kitchen to get the food I left behind. I also needed to eat. I was carrying all of that when I got to the laundry area. The maids I met looked at me. I waited for them to leave before entering the room where I left Yuri. I put down everything I was carrying next to him. I was still confused at ï¬rst about what to do ï¬rst. Should I clean his wound ï¬rst or eat ï¬rst. But I didn't have a choice, I took out my cellphone and opened the Group Chat. Me: Phangeths! Nids q whelps! Eren: Ampvta! What is it? Ci-N: waaaahhh!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Jay-jay's Chat is scary! Edrix: Is this a code? David: Rory: Jay! What is that? Just pressed? Denzel: This is Grace! What is that? Denzel and I still don't understand. I want to curse out loud. It's stupid to read these. Grace even joined in. She just gave birth and can't read anymore. My nostrils are still getting bigger while typing but someone answered their question for me. Keifer: Ugly. I need help. That's what he said. Suddenly, wow reactions poured into the King of Snakes' chat. They should be amazed that their queens can read! They reached that age without being able to read. David: About what? I didn't even bother. I took a picture of Yuri and sent it to them. Keifer: Where the ck are you? The King of the Ulopongs answered the fastest. His fellow Ulopongs also sent messages one after another. Ci-N: Why are you together? Felix: Did you hit me? Why are you sleeping? Eren: What did you do? Josh: He doesn't have any clothes. The messages from the idiots increased and instead of helping me with my problem, they were more concerned about Yuri's lack of clothes. Calix: Come on! What the hell? Blaster: Did something happen? Kit: Jay? Explain! NOW! Mayo: We didn't raise you like that! You're not ashamed of your Mom Kit anymore! Rory: lol! The flirting of the one above. Mayo: You're a slut Rory! Rory: You're the only one above me? Calix: Guilty! Edrix: Guilty! Felix: Guilty! Ci-N: Hi I'm Ci-nix, brother of Felix, Calix and Edrix😂😂 😂 I want to throw my cellphone because of what they're saying. Then they'll wonder why I don't open a Group Chat. The conversation always ends like this. I was about to reply when the name of the Madman suddenly appeared. The phone was calling. I answered. ["Where are you?"] He opened it in a hurry. I heard the door that I thought was a car close. "At home. Why?" ["What the hell is that photo? Why is Yuri not wearing clothes and you are still together?"] "He lost consciousness. Can you go see him here? Big brother can't see him looking like this." And I suddenly thought that Big brother can't see him here either. ["I'm on my wayâ€"."] "Don't go." I quickly cut off what he was going to say. "I'll just wait for Yuri to wake up. I'm sure nothing bad happened to him. He wasn't seriously hurt." ["I'm going to you, not him."] Maybe the unconscious person in front of me is his best friend. That's terrible! Thank you very much for worrying about my friend. "Did I lose consciousness?" I asked sarcastically. ["Is she the girl I love?"] And it really stuck. "Don't! Kuya will see you." ["The hell I care!"] "Po â€"." I almost cursed. "You're a fool! You're going to ruin me!" ["Whatever. I'm on my way now. Make sure to give me a good explanation."] He hung up the call without waiting for me to say anything. I was furious. When Kuya saw him, he would know that Yuri was here and in this situation. I was going to be shocked! I could already hear Kuya's voice and I could also imagine his face in front of me. I decided to get Yuri dressed. He might even get pneumonia because of his appearance. Since I was having a hard time in his position, I decided to climb onto the bed and place both knees on either side of him at the same level as his stomach. I moved slowly while adjusting my clothes when the door suddenly opened. My brother's furious face, carrying a curse of misfortune, appeared. We were still frozen before his eyes widened . I blinked before I remembered that I was still dressing Yuri who was unconscious. "What the hell is happening here?" He asked me in surprise. I didn't know if I should ï¬nish what I was doing ï¬rst or explain this horoscope ï¬rst. "Y-you're thinking wrong." I said. He took a deep breath. "Explain to me now." He calmly ordered. I got off the bed but before I could get down properly I saw someone behind my brother. "What happened?" Percy asked while also frowning at the scene he had just witnessed. Here's another one. Aries turned to him and immediately glared at him. Before they could even start arguing, the frowning King of the Cobras arrived. "Jay." Aries called out to me. "Explain now!"
