Chapter-117

Christmas Party 2.0

Jay-jay's POV

LOST!! Right now! Why does it
have to disappear now? What's going on? The roasted chicken is missing! What animal would take it, while
we're busy? It's so scary, it's a whole chicken! "Roll call!" Eman shouted, clearly annoyed. "Say your name... If
it's not there, it's probably up to something!" Rory said. "Jay-jay!" I shouted my name. "Eman!" "Rory!" Rory
shouted while still raising her hand. "Edrix!" "Tss!" The King of Cobras said. When did his name become 'tss'?
We just ignored it and continued with the roll call. "David..." David said boredly. "Denzel." "Yuri!" "..." Josh said
that we didn't hear. "..Josh!" He repeated. "Blaaaaster!" Blaster shouted and made an explosion gesture. "Calix
the pogi with my Mica baby!" I winced at what he said. Is that still necessary? "Felix the cat!" Why are the
names connected? "The Amazing Eren!" "How naughty!" Oh! "Drew! Barrymore... Hahahaha.." "May! June! July!
August!" September! October----what was that? I almost started singing. These are all so funny. They're
supposed to be connected names. But there was something I didn't hear in Roll Call. "Where's Ci-N?!" I asked
while looking at them one by one. They all looked around. The chicken was really missing. It wasn't there! The
roasted chicken was gone! "CI-N TOOK IT?!" The chickens all shouted at once. They immediately ran to find Ci-
N. Some went straight to the kitchen, some ran to the cafeteria, and some came out of the restaurant and
headed straight to the parking lot. But they all came back, disappointed in their search. Where----"ARAY!"
Something hit my leg while I was standing. I immediately looked at it, which was now on the floor. It wasn't
clear to me, so I picked it up to see it properly. Chicken bones?! "What is that?" Eman asked me. I faced her
with what I saw. We both looked at each other and it seemed like we were the only ones thinking. We
immediately grabbed the tablecloth, and together we pulled it up. No way! Ci-N, who was eating under the
table, appeared to us. It was her! We both grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out from under the table.
Her mouth was still red from eating. "Why are you eating that chicken alone?!" Eman asked annoyed.
"Hhmmm... Hmmm..." Ci-N said while her mouth was full. "Oh my, Ci! You're being stingy again!" I said before
letting her go. Her fellow vipers were already looking at her badly. It was her fault, was it right for her to run
away and eat the chicken alone. "Please tell us that you didn't just cook one." David said to Eman. Eman
entered the kitchen. I looked back at Ci-N. He had already swallowed what he had been chewing earlier and
managed to smile at me. There was still a hint! Eman came out after the two crew members and they were
holding four whole chickens. Nice! Nice! "That's good!" "Eat again!" "Let's go! Let's go!" They almost clapped in
joy at the same time. Ci- N was about to approach but I blocked her. "You're eating, right?" "Just throw it...
Please!" She pleaded while pouting. I winced. I let her go and let her fellow cobras who were blocking her take
care of it. "Hurry up with the food and Yuri will perform for us!" Rory announced. I looked at Yuri who was
currently in front and adjusting the guitar. I don't remember us talking about him performing. Maybe it was
just a fluke. I went back to the place where I was with Mica earlier. Calix was also there and they were still
trying. Maybe these two were ants. "What did you give as a gift for what you pulled out?" Calix suddenly asked
me . Hehehe secret! "I don't want to tell... Maybe it's you, then the surprise would be ruined." Mica laughed
slightly. It turned out that she wasn't included in that gift. It was late because Calix told us that his gf was
going to celebrate with us . Ci-N suddenly approached us. Pouting and teary-eyed. "They fought me..." She
complained, pointing at Mayo. "Why?" "They didn't want to give me... *Sniff*..." She said and almost sniffed.
Mica and Calix just laughed at her. It was her fault. That's it, she couldn't ask for more. "I'll just get you." Mica
nodded and stood up. "Nice..." Ci said, punching the air. Look at this person. I really can't say anything. As long
as there's food, she 'll do anything. Speaking of food, I've been noticing Kit for a while now. She doesn't seem
to have an appetite. The food she had in front of her earlier isn't diminishing either. Then I suddenly
remembered the picture on Eren's phone. My goodness! I approached him and sat across from him. I looked
at him and smiled. "How are you? Why are you alone?" I asked. "Nothing... It's just tiring to mess with them."
He answered with a smile. "Sure? No problem? Sick?" "I'm sure. No problem. I'm not sick." He answered my
questions one after another . I just nodded in acceptance of what he said. Mayo passed in front of us and
smiled at me. It's just me, she didn't look at Kit. Oh wait.... "You're here, Mayo." I said to her and pointed to the
bench next to me. She quickly shook her head. "I'm over there..." I pointed to Josh's table. "Here..." I insisted.
She was obviously uncomfortable and didn't want to but she was forced to sit on the bench I pointed to. She
put the plate she was holding on the table. The awkwardness immediately took over. It was as if it had
evaporated from both of their bodies and started to surround us. I guess I did something wrong. In my desire
to prove if there was a gap between them, this is what I got. Kit was looking at the food. I just watched the two
of them. Mayo started eating and so did Kit. They kept stealing glances without meeting. What the hell?! "Did
you two fight?" I suddenly asked. They looked at me at the same time. "H-no..." "W-why?" They said almost at
the same time. They actually asked. Oh! If only I had known. "You guys weren't paying attention." I said to
them. "W-what are you? We're really like that... Aren't we?" Mayo said while smiling and facing Kit. The other
one forced a smile and couldn't understand whether to face me or Mayo. "O-yes.. that's true. "That's just how
we are." Kit said. I winced. It was obvious what they were doing. "Your plastic, right?" I said and immediately
walked away from them. Even though I was intrigued by the two of them and was itching to know what the
picture really meant, I chose to leave. Their expressions were so annoying. To be honest, my body was still
heavy but my mind was also losing focus because my attention was on this party. I looked at Ci-N who was
doing the bubble dance again. She was still teaching Eren and Blaster. I then shifted my gaze to David and
Eman who were arranging the food. Calix and Mica who were constantly eating sweets. Josh who was
looking into the void, as if he was looking at someone else. Oh! I know! Edrix who was laughing with Rory and
Denzel. Kit and Mayo who were not
still talking. Felix and Drew buying music.
Yuri fixing his instrument.
And....
The King of Cobras looking at me.
I stopped for a moment and thought. Is this what I would trade for
Papa? Is it worth leaving them?
Suddenly the music changed. The two of them seemed to have changed.
Ci-N immediately came to me and took my hand.
"Come on! Let's dance!" She told me.
"Wait, Ci!"
Tengene! I guess she forgot that my body was still hurting.
We stopped in the middle where the others were.
They were also dancing. Until I noticed that
they were already surrounded by me and suddenly....
" ...The flowers are opening, the queen is coming in! Chacha will dance!
How fun! .."
I just shook my head at the silliness of these people. They were still holding
hands and were so happy with what they were doing.
"Dance, Jay!" Denzel shouted at me.
Even though I looked stupid, I just danced like a child. I could feel
the pain in every move I made but my joy was overwhelming.
The cobras gave me loud applause and laughter.
"Hahaha.. nice Jay!" " You're really
good at dancing! " "Jay-jay!" "You're so impressive!" I shouted at them. "Keep dancing!" Ci-N shouted and
suddenly the music got louder. The lukos looked like they were at a wild party. Losers were losing and some
were still laughing. Even Mica and Calix were dancing too. I tried to leave their group. I hadn't been there long,
my body was already hurting. "What? Can you still do it?!" David asked me with a smile. "Tse!" I scolded him.
He laughed a little. Suddenly he handed me a small box with a ribbon. It was bigger than the one Yuri gave
him. "Merry Christmas..." He said and smiled. I was about to ask him but he suddenly walked away from me.
Are they really like this? After giving the gift, leaving? I opened the box. Letter J. A silver J with a small
diamond in the middle. I thought it was a bracelet because the J is black, but it turned out to be a necklace. I
accidentally dropped the lid of the box. I put the one I was holding down on the table and took the lid. I
stopped when I noticed a symbol. I wasn't sure, but the symbol looked like a fork----ay! The one Poseidon was
holding ! Trident! Right! Right! I've seen this on TV before. I looked closely and there was From written above
the symbol. Hm?! Is this from Poseidon?! I took the box and necklace, looked for David and immediately
approached him. "Thank you for this!" I opened it to him. "Don't thank me... It's not from me, I just gave it to
you." He answered me with a wink. Huh?! Who would give me this? The one with Poseidon's symbol? Maybe
it's really Poseidon? Do I know any Poseidon? Instead of thinking about who gave it to me. I just left it alone, I
just put the box in my bag and had fun with the fools again. I want to make the most of this opportunity! This
will never happen again...
