Chapter-124

Kit...

Jay-jay's POV

"Isn't Ci-N here?" Grandma asked me. "No..." I felt like
Grandma missed Ci-N. I miss her too. She hasn't been here for a few days. It would have been nice if she had
texted me or called me but she didn't. On Christmas day, her brother suddenly called me. He was very angry
with me and told me to send Ci home. Ci-N said she didn't want any trouble so she just went home. She said
she would call as soon as she got home but she didn't. I couldn't help but worry. What happened to you, Ci-N?
I wanted to go to her but her brother and I might get into a fight. I'll just avoid it, rather than cause a fight. I
heard my cellphone ring. I thought it was Ci-N so I hurried to pick it up but it turned out to be someone else.
Eren... "Hello?" ["Jay-jay"] Eren called me softly. "Why? Do you need something?" I heard on the other line that
it sounded like there was a commotion. I could still hear someone fighting and then it sounded like someone
was walking briskly. "...That noise, where are you?" I asked further. ["I'm here with Kit... There's a problem." She
took a deep breath. "...c-can you come here?"] I was confused by what was happening. Add to that the noise
on Eren's side. It sounded like there was a collision that I couldn't understand. "Why?" ["I don't know who to go
to. Kit needs help right now."] I felt worried. Kit or Eren didn't say there was a problem. If they called me
because of that, it meant they were facing a difficult situation. "S-okay... I'm on my way." I didn't wait for Eren
to say anything. I immediately hung up the call. I said goodbye to Grandma before heading straight to the
room to get dressed. "I'm leaving, La... You guys take care of telling Auntie." I said and Grandma nodded at
me. I left the house and immediately ran to the corner. Luckily there were many taxis scattered around the
illage, I didn't have any trouble getting in. I immediately told Kit and her address. I've only been to their house
once but I still remember how to get there. Because of the traffic, I felt like it would take me a while to get
there. My head ached from the noise of their horns. They thought the car in front of them would move if they
honked. Go ahead! Honk! I arrived safely at Kit's house. Eren was already waiting for me at the gate of the
house. "Eren..." I called to him. "...What happened?" Eren grabbed my arm and pulled me slightly away from
Kit's house. He looked at the gate for a moment before speaking. "Jay... Can you pretend to be Kit's girlfriend?"
He asked directly . Hm?! "W-what?! I don't want to!" I quickly answered. "Go ahead... Jay... Please... Kit just
needs it." He asked. "I don't want to! Stop me, Eren." "Jay... Go ahead... Kit might not come out of the room. He
hasn't eaten properly for days." I was stunned by what he said. What connection does my pretending to be his
girlfriend have with Kit not coming out of the room? "Explain to me first what happened." I ordered him. Eren
looked at the house again before facing me and talking to me. He held his breath and took a deep breath.
"Okay... Okay... Let's just keep this short for now, okay?" I nodded in agreement. "Kit's... W-what... This
shouldn't be coming from me!" He said, putting his hand on his head. "If you don't tell me right away, I'll leave."
I told him bored. It was taking too long, too thrilling. "Here it is... W-what... Haaiizt!" He took another deep
breath. "... Kit's gay." Loading..... I don't know if I should rank what Eren said as a super shocking moment or
just moderate. I already had a suspicion, but of course I don't know if it's true. "Jay? Did you get what I said?"
He asked me. I just managed to make my hand appear. "My suspicion was right!" I shouted. Eren immediately
motioned for me to shut up and peeked into the house again. "Suspected?" he asked me. "I saw them at the
Festival, they and Mayo. Then I also saw a picture of them on your cellphone." I explained. Eren took his phone
and looked at the picture I was talking about. "If Kit is gay, what's the problem? What does that have to do with
him not leaving his room?" Eren scratched his head. "He told his family the truth but they didn't react well.
There was a fight, so instead of breaking up with them, Kit didn't show up to his dad much. It's just that, it's
gotten worse now. He doesn't even leave his room for Christmas." Tsk! It turns out this is even worse than I
thought. It's not obvious to Kit that he has such a problem. "Why do you want me to pretend to be his
girlfriend?" "So that the conversation can end. Let's just say that Kit isn't serious, that he's just testing their
trust and that he's really a man and you're the proof." He explained. But that's not the case. Kit will only find the
situation more difficult if she happens to be "I don't think that's the solution." "What solution?" "I don't know...
But it would be better if we talked to Kit." I suggested. "It's not that easy... Kit doesn't want to talk to us. She's
also mad at me." "Why?" "Do you remember the fight between Mayo and me? It was followed up, the next day
after the Christmas party." My eyebrows furrowed in frustration. "What again?! Why did you fight again?" He
scratched his head. They had been talking for so long, to be honest. My head was already hurting. "I've known
about their situation for a long time----I supported it ----but this jealous Mayo who feels like Kit and I have
something... hello?! This is a real man!" I laughed a little at his reaction. I knew he was a real man. It's
embarrassing to have two girlfriends. But I admire him even though his best friend/sibling is gay, I wonder if
he'll still support his peg . "Is that the reason why he punched you in the classroom?" I asked. "Yes, and I was
teasing him. I said I would give Kit chicks that he thought were real." That's why. That impact was still a bit
strong. We almost had a fight before just because of the teasing. "Maybe it would be better if we talked to Kit."
I said and he agreed. We went inside, before we could even step inside I heard people shouting. They stopped
when Eren caught their attention. I briefly introduced myself and we went straight to Kit's room. Their house
was also nice. It was big and it was obvious that they had a lot of money . We stopped in front of Kit's room
door. I knocked and listened to see if anyone would speak but it was quiet inside. "Kit... This is Jay-jay. Can we
talk?" I asked. Still no one spoke or made any noise. "...You can tell me. You know me, right?" We heard
something ring inside and then dad's footsteps approaching the door. I heard the sound of the doorknob and
the door opened slightly. Eren was about to enter but I motioned for him to go alone. He nodded and let me in.
I closed the door and his room was very dark. Only his laptop monitor was the only light. I saw Kit sitting on
the floor next to his bed. I sat down next to him. "How are you? You don't go out." I started. He didn't say
anything but I heard his deep breathing. Until he suddenly sobbed. "Jay... I'm confused. I don't know what to
do." He said and tried to hold back his tears. "It's okay... Just cry." He said while rubbing his back. "I'm really a
man... I don't know what happened... I just suddenly woke up feeling like something was wrong with me." She
took a deep breath and wiped her tears. I also gave her the handkerchief I was carrying . "...I asked what it was
but nothing, I just felt it... Until I met Mayo... We were always together t-then... She kissed me." Honestly, I have
no idea what people like Kit feel. Maybe because I'm more straight than a post. But even so, I can feel that
she's having a hard time. "...Everything's messed up... I tried to stay away from her... I tried to fix myself... I
think I got into every fight but it's still the same..." I was confused. I wanted to ask her but I knew this wasn't
the right time to be scheming. "...Mayo is naughty... She doesn't want me to stop... Until now I realized... I'm
alling for her..." She took a deep breath and tried to wipe her tears. She stopped talking. She also leaned her
head on the bed at our corner. "Kit..." I called her. "...Locking yourself up here isn't the solution to your problem
." "So what am I going to do? Go out and shout to everyone that I'm gay?!" His voice was filled with irritation.
"Tsk! That's not like that, that's not what I meant." "I understand Jay..." he said almost in a whisper. We both fell
silent. I looked around his room. Because it was so dark, I could barely see anything. I looked at his laptop. It
was making a constant noise. It sounded like he was having an email or a chat. "That's Mayo..." Kit said. "Why
don't you answer?" "I don't want to... Besides, we're already separated. Why would I talk to him?" Separated?!
Stop it! My ears couldn't handle the word 'separated'. It meant----Holy cow carabao! This is what it feels like to
find out that the two people close to you who you thought were real men, are actually something!
Aarrggghhhh... "Jay..." Kit called to me. "...can you help me?" "What's that? I'll do it as best I can." "Help me be a
real man again." He said and suddenly brought his lips closer to mine. I almost fell to the ground in shock but
instead of stopping he continued to approach me. "Kit! Don't!"
