Chapter-90

Brothers


Jay-jay's POV


I'm hungry! I want to ask for food but who?
Should I go home, because I don't know how far
Keifer's house is from ours.
"You, Jay-jay..." Ci-N said to me and tried to reach for the cue.
Should I hit him with it?
"I don't want to! You guys play!" I said and walked away.
He had been teaching me how to play billiards for a while but I wasn't listening.
I was really hungry.
I went to Felix to say hello to him. Eren and I said, "Don't
let him sleep." They didn't say why.
"Felix..." I called out to him.
He forced one of his eyes open. The other one was already closed because of
swelling.
"Jay..." He called out to me. "...S-sorry?"
"Why are you sorry? I should be the one." "I-I should... I'll take care of you. I- I should have thought of that
rom the beginning ." "Don't think about that. Keifer and his friends came to help us." He forced a smile and
moved the ice bag on his face. I helped him move it and pressed it slightly. Suddenly the door opened so I
turned around. It was Keigan. "Brother... Breakfast is ready and I would like to invite your friends to eat with
us." Keigan said formally. I looked at Keifer to see what he was going to say but I was surprised to see his
palm was bleeding. "Keifer, your palm is mine!" I told him but he ignored me. He walked out the door and just
passed Keigan. I looked at Yuri who was left standing in their place. "I'll take that as a yes. Please follow me..."
Keigan said and was about to leave. "Keigan!" I called to him and he stopped. "...Because Felix, he can't be
with us." He looked at Felix and smiled. "I'll send the doctor and my butler here to help him." He walked away
again and Ci-N and Eren followed him. I didn't leave for now so Felix would have someone with him but Yuri
also stayed behind . "Follow them." I ordered Yuri. "No. I'll stay here with you." I just let him go because I knew
he wouldn't be weaned. Yuri, he's like Keifer too. "What happened to Keifer?" I asked him and approached the
bar where they were sitting earlier. I saw broken glass and blood. I wasn't sure what happened. I didn't hear
anything breaking.
"I said something bad and he stopped the
glass." He answered me and scratched his head.
Come on! Our secret!
Maybe he told us our secret that's why he acted like that. Maybe he wasn't
happy or didn't want to.
"W-what did you say?"
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." He quickly answered me.
A man in a white polo shirt entered. He introduced himself as
Keigan's butler, so we left Felix and followed Ci-N.
I just followed Yuri. He seemed to know where we were going.
"How old is Keigan?" I suddenly asked Yuri.
The atmosphere was awkward. Neither of us moved, so
what he did came back to my memory.
"14." He quickly answered.
14? He's the same age as Ci-N but he's almost older.
"He's still young."
"Don't trust him." Yuri suddenly said, stopping me.
"Why?"
"He's a psychopath."
Come on! Is Keigan dangerous?
"I mean.. crazy----"
"Not literary psycho... We just call him like that because he acts like
one. To make it easy on you, he is the worse version of Keifer."
He explained.
So Keifer is my worse version. I thought he was the worst of all.
We continued walking until we reached the outside where
there was a pool.
Was it breakfast?
I looked around and saw them at Gazibo.
Ci-N was waving at me while having a piece of bread.
"Is this really where they have breakfast?" I asked Yuri and we walked
closer to them.
"No... But this is where Keigan likes to be." Yuri answered me.
When we got closer to them, Keigan immediately stood up and pulled out the chair
next to him. He made me sit down and took care of me. The gentleman he used to be.
It didn't seem any worse... He looked like a good boy version of Keifer.
Keifer was not there and was busy devouring the snacks.
Keigan gave me food on a plate.
"Enjoy your breakfast..." He said and smiled.
I looked at Yuri who was also looking at me. He was drinking
coffee and seemed to be feeling Keigan.
While eating, I couldn't help but ask.
"Where is Keifer?"
"Behind you..." Keigan quickly answered me.
I looked behind me and saw
Keifer, who had just taken a bath, walking closer. He was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but he had
someone following him.
A younger version of Keifer and Keigan.
He just looked more grumpy.
"You woke up early, Keiren." Keigan teased the boy.
His name was Keiren. I bet he was Keifer's brother, about
twenty-five cents.
"Shut up!" Keiren quickly answered Keigan.
Oh, that's so mean!
Keifer sat on the bench across from me. His hand was bandaged.
I watched him but he didn't even look at me for a moment.
I stopped when I noticed Keiren looking at me. He stared at
me and almost melted me.
"So it turns out that Kuya Keifer isn't gay..." He said, causing
Keifer to spit out the coffee he was drinking.
Yuri and I laughed a little, which they were trying to hide.
"...he keeps bringing boys instead of girls. So I thought he was gay."
He explained more.
I wanted to laugh too, but Keifer's look was deadly.
"That's coming from the boy who can't even look Yoichi's eye."
Yuri's answer was the reason why Keifer was stunned and smiled.
Yoichi?
The feeling of not being able to relate to what they were saying. Even Eren and
I could see what they were talking about.
"Speaking of Yoichi... She called me Yesterday, she said she was going home
because she's missing you." Yuri added.
Keiren suddenly blushed and seemed to have lost her appetite.
"W-who's Yoichi?" I asked Keigan, who was closest
to me.
"Yuri's younger sister and Keiren's crush." He quickly answered me.
"Shut up! She's not my crush!" Keiren shouted angrily, causing
them to laugh even more.
Yes, she did. Yuri does have a sister who is in Japan. I don't
know her name.
They continued to tease her. Keifer just laughed but didn't
speak. He didn't even look at me for a moment.
I felt sad. Even though it was fun to tease
Keigan and Keiren, I couldn't help it.
Breakfast was over and all we did was talk.
It was fun and I lost track of time.
"Keigan... What time is it?" I asked.
Keigan looked at his wrist watch. "It's 9:58am."
"Thank you."
"Are you going for a walk?" Yuri asked me.
"Nothing... I was just thinking about my brother. I didn't come home with us,
maybe he's looking for me." I explained.
"Angelo knows that you're here." Keifer said.
Does Kuya know?
"We called him last night. We already explained what happened so you
don't need to worry about him." Yuri added.
Okay... My apprehension disappeared for a moment. But I was also thinking about
Aries. I didn't say goodbye to them.
"So you have an older brother?" Keigan asked me.
"No. He's not my brother but an older cousin and as a respect we call
him Kuya." I explained.
"Really? What is his name?"
"Michael Angelo Fernandez."
"Ow.. Boss is your cousin?" Keigan asked a little surprised.
Boss?
"Boss? Why do you call Kuya Boss?"
"That's what Yuri and Kuya Keifer call him."
I looked at Keifer and Yuri but they immediately looked away from me.
"You don't know about it? They used to always be together----"
"Keigan." Keifer cut him off.
Keifer gave him a meaningful look. They
stared at each other for a moment and Keigan turned to face me again.
He smiled at me. "Sorry if I keep asking questions."
"O-okay..."
Meaning they used to be together. That's why he knew Yuri and
Keifer. But Aries and Keifer are angry so why are they together?
Besides, the last time they met, Keifer was clearly not happy. What
happened to them?
Eren and Ci-N suddenly stood up.
"I need to go home. My mom texted me." Ci-N said
and came over to me. "...Are you coming with me, Jay?" I
was about to open my mouth to answer but Yuri beat me
to it. "I'll take her."
"S-okay... Bye Jay!" Ci-N said and walked away.
"I'll go with her. Take care Jay! Bye!" Eren said goodbye and followed
Ci-N.
"Bye! Take care!" I said goodbye to them.
I didn't take my eyes off Ci-N and Eren until they were completely
gone.
Everyone was silent for a moment until Keiren stood up.
"I'll get back inside. It's boring here." He said and walked away.
It's like I can see Keiren's future. Keifer is Keifer because
his ex is. I just hope he doesn't become a Kumag or Ulopong like
his brother.
When Keiren walked away, Keifer took out a pack. He took out a
stick and handed it to Yuri. He lit it first before handing the
lighter.
Are they smoking?
Keifer raised an eyebrow when he noticed me staring at
them.
"You can ask if you want... No need to stare like that." He said.
I shook my head. "I tried that once and I won't do it again."
Yuri stopped and seemed to be in disbelief at what I said.
"You do?"
"Yes.."
"Why did you stop?" Keigan asked.
"My boyfriend burned me when he caught me so
I didn't do it again." I answered directly with a hint of annoyance.
Oh wait! Is it right for me to tell them that?
"He did what?!" Keifer asked angrily.
I guess I shouldn't have said anything. Yuri and his looks suddenly changed.
"He immediately apologized. He was just angry." I excused myself.
"You're talking about this Cyrus guy?" Yuri asked.
I just nodded curtly. It was really wrong of
me to say anything.
Keifer and Yuri looked like they were about to kill someone.
I'm so angry!
