Chapter -116

Christmas Party


Jay-jay's POV


" ...I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus... Underneath the mistletoe last
night... "
I don't know what to say. The pain in my body or the
pain in my ears.
I know my voice is lame so I don't sing but
this kid, I don't think he realizes that his voice sounds like a piece of metal being shaken.
"You're so good Ci-N!"
"Idol!"
"Go ahead Ci!"
The girls cheered for Ci-N. It was obvious that
they were just tolerating this one.
My head was already hurting from her ugly voice. It was so bad!
But she was a queen. I just covered my ears.
Why was there still a videoke?
Someone put food in front of me. I raised my head slightly to
see who it was.
"Merry Christmas..." David greeted me while pushing the plate of food away.
"Merry Christmas too..." I greeted him back.
I took the food he gave me. Even though my body was sore,
I still wanted to enjoy this party.
"Are you ready for your gift?" David asked me.
I nodded. We had a few coins. Since I was
the only girl, they got into a fight.
We didn't put our names on the paper to be drawn.
It was just a code name and then we could decide what to give as long as it fit the theme.
Something Naughty.
I feel like that naughty something is just a joke.
I joined in rather than ruin their party.
I'm not sure who I drew. All I know is a boy,
because I'm the only girl.
Who could this Bluetooth be? Just give me a name and look stupid.
Whoever it is, I'll give him a nice gift. Something naughty, really!
"Thank you very much for Ci-N's performance!" Rory suddenly said into the
mic so we looked at each other.
The lukos clapped and some whistled.
"Let's start the party!" Rory shouted.
The lukos screamed again. I wanted to shout, but my body didn't want to join in. Why did they think of waiting
or
me in the corner now ? "Let's start the game! And of course the winner has a corresponding price!" Rory
explained and looked around. "...where is Santa who will give the prize?" Speaking of Santa, there he was,
holding a bottle of wine. Yuri was still with him, who was also drinking non-stop. Keifer was forced to stand up
and approach Rory. He was still holding a bottle of wine in his hand. "Okay, okay... Everyone's ready! Let's start
with Stop Dance, my twist!" What?! "...Everyone's in! Except for Jay-jay and Mica!" Rory added, causing many
to complain. "That's a lie!" "Why is that?" "I won't join!" Keifer suddenly snatched the mic from Rory. "What if I
beat you up so you can't play either?!" He threatened the guys. They immediately fell silent. They must have
orgotten that I had fought earlier. He handed the mic back to Rory. "Okay... Since Jay-jay and Mica aren't in, so
are Keifer and Yuri and of course me. We're one less." Rory suddenly said while counting on his fingers. It felt
like I was really forced to play. There were 18 of us if we included Mica, who was currently sitting next to Calix.
He said he would rather attend our Christmas party than school. Five will be eliminated, so there will only be
13 of them left. One more is needed just to get the count right. "Is it okay, Mica, if you join the game?" They
asked Mica. She looked at Calix and me for a moment. I was still embarrassed by her. I should be the one
participating in the game. "Me." "I'll do it." Yuri and Keifer said at the same time. We looked at each other. It
was weird because their volunteering had come so far. "So, who will play?" Rory asked the two awkwardly. Yuri
and Kiefer stared at each other. It was as if they were talking just using their eyes until Yuri looked away and
took a drink. Keifer walked to the middle and pretended to be the one playing. "Okay! The count is right! Let's
start!" Rory said and we clapped our hands. The ones in the middle immediately took their places. "...Here's
the twist. When I say stop, you should be in a pose and of course not move. But your pose will be based on
what I say." Huh?! This seems complicated. "...When I say 'Animal Pose', you have to pose like an animal and
not move." Oh my! Dead! The King of the Vipers! "Game!" Rory shouted and the music started. I didn't realize
that Mica had come to me. I only noticed her when I turned to David's place earlier. "How are you? Did you
have a fight?" she asked me. "Yeah... How are you?" I asked her back. "I'm fine..." she replied with a smile at
me. I would be happy for them. She and Calix have been through a lot. I just hope that their fight doesn't
happen again. Calix might commit suicide. Mica and I looked at the Vipers for a moment, like they had
escaped from the corral and were dancing. "Supermodel Pose and.... And..." Rory said. "...STOP!" The lukos
each had their own pose. There was a facial expression included. We even laughed at Edrix, who even stuck
out his stomach feeling my abs. Ci-N wasn't going to give up, her lukos were still biting their lips while her
eyes were wide open. But my gaze was fixed on Keifer. He was looking at me. He was just standing there like
a pillar. "Do you and Keifer have something?" Mica suddenly asked, causing me to look at her. "Huh?!" "I
shouldn't be flirting with you anymore. That's why..." She bit her lower lip hard. "... Calix and I once talked about
something strange between you and Keifer." "W-what's strange? We're always fighting." I defended myself. The
loud music came back on and the lukos were dancing again. "But do you like her?" Mica asked directly.
Suddenly my cheeks heated up. Jusme! Mica's questions were also strange. "W-nothing!" I quickly answered.
Mica laughed a little. She didn't ask again. That was good. I didn't feel comfortable talking about that like like.
The first game was over and the lukos were hungry. They said they would eat first and play again. Then it was
time to give the gifts. I was excited about what I would receive. As usual, Eman cooked our food. She said she
had her Daddy help. I forced myself to stand up to get some food. The lukos might eat me if I waited to get
some for me. While waiting in line, I saw Yuri playing with the bottle of alcohol in her hand. She was obviously
deep in thought. I got some food for the two of us. It was obvious that she had no intention of getting her
ood. After getting it, I immediately went to her place and sat across from her. She didn't react but she was
looking at me. "Eat..." I said while pushing the plate closer to her. She just looked at the food and took another
sip of her alcohol. I'm not used to him being like this. "Yuri..." I called out to him. "...Why are you so quiet? Are
you having a problem?" He didn't answer. He just continued what he was doing. Honestly, I was starting to get
annoyed by what he was doing. I didn't want to talk about this but I had to. "The ring is beautiful..." I said
without looking at him. I waited for him to speak but he didn't move, he didn't move either. I looked at him
again properly, he had stopped and was staring at me. Seriously serious and seemed to be thinking about
something. I waved my hand in front of his face. He blinked for a moment so I stopped too. "D-do you like it?"
He asked almost in a whisper. "Yes... It's just right for me. T-thank you." I said and forced a smile. "...Why did
you give it to me?" "I was going to ask you to marry me." His quick answer made me choke up.
"*Cough**Cough*... W-what?!" He suddenly laughed. He left for a moment and got a bottled water. He opened
it and handed it to me. "Just kidding... You're serious." He said. "I'm serious! What's that for?!" He looked away.
He looked at the bottle he had been playing with in his hand before looking at our companions who were
teasing and enjoying themselves. "I'll tell you later." He said quickly. I was about to open my mouth to speak
but he immediately stood up and went to Felix who was busy eating and teasing. A bit rude.. I was nervous.
What Yuri said felt strange and why did I have to wait until later when I could have it now. I just looked at my
ood again and for some reason I don't understand, I suddenly looked at Keifer. He was also looking at me but
his eyes seemed to be talking. What's the problem with these two?!
