Chapter-121

Real


Jay-jay's POV


Almost there! My eyebrows almost fell. I almost lost my eyebrows.
That's crazy!
Brother, I was ahead of him but when he arrived,
he immediately scolded me. Then suddenly he took out a razor and came to me.
Luckily, Tito Julz and I stopped him right away. But, oh my! No eyebrows is
life.
I looked in the mirror and looked closely at my eyebrows. I was wrong!
It looks like I got caught by a razor too. There's a nick on the side.
Charlie Puth and I are now the same.
What can be the remedy for this?
I went to my study table and looked for something I could
use for my eyebrows but I found something else.
The ring.
Then I suddenly remembered what he was telling me
last night. Yes, I was drunk, but of course my mind was wide awake.
Sometimes I forget things but I remember them right away. But
Yuri's, it's so hard to forget.
I'm so confused.
Hey! Yuri Hanamitchi!
Why do they seem to have the same impact on me as Keifer?
That's not a good sign. Tsk! I'm so angry! Suddenly the door to my room opened and Aries
walked in . As usual, his face was serious again. "W-why?" I asked. "I have your father's info... What is your
decision now?" Papa's info! I just stared at Aries. I didn't know if the decision I chose was the right one .
"Aries... Y-because..." "Do you want it or not?" He asked, clearly impatient for my answer. I just bit my lower lip.
"I-I don't want to... I-I'm not leaving Section E." He took a deep breath and took something out of his pocket. It
was a folded piece of paper and even though I couldn't see the whole thing, I knew what it was. "You sure?
You don't want this thing?" Aries ' tone seemed to challenge me. My gaze went back and forth between him
and the paper. I felt like I wanted to take back what I had said. "I'll wait for your answer until the first week of
school days." He said and immediately left my room. I was so angry! You know the---aarrgghhh!! It's annoying!
I just pulled myself together. What's the problem? Why does he want me to be kicked out of my Section? I fell
flat on my bed. Thinking so much, it felt like my body was getting tired. I chose my friends. Because I know
that Papa and I will meet and will meet again in many ways----just kidding! I really planned to just get it from
Kuya Angelo without them knowing. I'm just not sure how. Escape mode! I just stared at the ceiling. It's only
been a few days since Christmas but here I am and I 'm still dumbfounded and having problems. Because
Aries... Add to that last night and what Yuri said. I think I'm going crazy! *Flashback....* "It's cold! Mud!" Edrix
shouted. I checked the time on my phone. It was only 9:39pm but it was already cold as dawn. "Jay.. I'm cold!
Warm me up." Ci-N pleaded while hugging me. I looked at all of them. "Who has a lighter?! I'll just light this! He
said he's cold!" They suddenly laughed. Ci immediately looked at me evilly . He said I'd warm him up. He lit it,
the heat on his body was so good. Ultra-wow! Keifer and Yuri have arrived. They have tree branches. They said
earlier, they will make a bonfire to reduce the cold. We were hanging out here in the King's yard. They said that
the people were resting with them. As soon as the fire was lit, the drunks immediately brought out alcohol.
The rest of us went home so we were reduced. Like Denzel, Grace said that she was being sent home. Calix,
Mica needs to be dropped off. Blaster, definitely went home when we thought we were going to Kiefer's. Kit,
said that she felt bad so she is going home. Mayo also left because her grandparents are going home today.
Eman, on the other hand, helped clean their restaurant. We are a little short but it's okay. Our celebration
earlier was worth it . Eren handed me the bottle. "Thank you..." I told him and smiled. "Jay-jay, drink it." I heard
Rory say. I looked at him with a frown. "I only have one bottle, drink it right away?" "Nowadays, girls drink as
much as their fathers." Edrix commented. "Hey! I'm not a big drinker!" "And I don't know how to cook." Drew
added. "I cook!" "What?" David asked. "Frying!" I answered them arrogantly but they just laughed at me. Frying
is so hard and then you'll end up splashing hot oil. Is that an achievement? "You're like... You're cooking?!" I
asked them annoyed. "No... But consider that ours, we're men." Eren replied. "Not either..." "It's not about
gender... At this age, we should know how to be independent." Josh said. We both looked at him. What he said
was so deep. Why did this turn into a conversation about independence? "I'll think about that when I'm that
age." Ci-N said while laughing. I was surprised to see him holding a bottle of wine. He was about to drink it but
I immediately stood up and took the bottle from him. "You can't drink!" I shouted at him. "Why?" "Why----" "Let
him drink." Keifer cut me off. "...Let him be a man." "What man?! He's just a boy!" "How can he be a real man if
you don't let him drink?" Yuri interrupted our conversation. I looked at him. "Is drinking a measure of being a
man?" "No, but it's a part of being a man." He answered me. I felt annoyed. The feeling of being helped. Then
they all looked at me as if saying I was wrong. I returned the bottle to Ci-N. I immediately walked away and
away from them. "I guess he was sulking." I heard one of them say. Because it was a bad trip! I went straight
to Keifer's house and since I had no idea what was in this house, I crossed my arms and stood in the middle,
looking into the void. I don't know where I'm going. Maybe I'll just get lost. "I'm annoyed..." I whispered. "Jay..."
Someone called out. I almost jumped in shock. I glared at that animal. "Do you need something?" I asked Yuri
angrily. "Are you mad at me?" "No!" Isn't it obvious?! "Sorry..." I looked at him. "I'm not mad at all." " Really?"
"Yes, I am!" I quickly answered. "Is that why your eyebrows are so close together?" I felt my eyebrows. I
adjusted them when I realized what he was saying was true. Yuri held one of my hands. He looked me straight
in the eyes. "I'm sorry... I should have sided with you----" "You have no obligation to me. So it's okay if you don't
side with me." I cut off what he was going to say. " Don't say that. I admit my feelings to you already. So, I have
an obligation to you ." He explained. What does that mean? "As what?" I asked directly, which was probably
wrong. My question was like a punch. I felt like I hit something. Yuri let go of my hand. She bent down and
orced a smile. Shooot! "Y-yuri... W-what... H-that's not what I meant----" "I believe I still haven't told you the
purpose of the ring." She cut me off from what I was about to say. Suddenly she knelt down on one knee,
supporting her other leg for balance. W-what... She took one of my hands and looked me in the eyes again. My
heart was beating fast, I wanted to push her away but my body didn't want to cooperate. "Jasper Jean
Mariano..." She started. "...I, Yuri Hanamitchi is asking you..." She took a deep breath. "...To marry me."
Shutang'names! I immediately withdrew my hand. Jusme! Immediately?! You just confessed your feelings and
then you're already married! Can you flirt first? "Y-yuri... You're really married?! Right away?!" I asked her in
surprise. She stood up and smiled at me. I guess this is an addict! "..so what does that have to do with the
obligation we're talking about?!" I continued. I just held my cheek in shock at what Yuri was doing. "Jay... You
told us before that you didn't want a boyfriend. So, instead of asking you to be my girlfriend, I ask you to marry
me." She explained to me with a smile. I just winced at what she said. Her hit was so strong. It couldn't be that
she was drunk and the alcohol had already hit her brain. "You're drunk..." She shook her head. "I'm not." I
walked away from her slightly. I think I ran my hand through my hair a few times . Wow! It's so stressful! "You
don't need to answer now." I looked at her. "That's not it... I don't understand what you're doing. Yes, you like
me but... It's a mess! Take it easy ." He suddenly scratched his head. "S-sorry..." "N-we'll talk about this next
time. Let's go back." I said and immediately walked out of the house. Approaching Ci-N, I immediately took the
bottle that was about to touch him. I drank it like water. "S-slowly, hey!" Ci-N said. I ignored him. I continued to
drink the wine and when it was finished, I took another one. *Endofflashback...* Then I got drunk without
realizing it and did the horrible thing I did when I called someone who was affected by fire. I even overcame
the cult! Punyemas! Where did I learn that?! I'll think about that next. My priority now is how to talk to Yuri. And
what we should talk about. Nyetax!
