Chapter-118 Christmas Party 3.0

David's POV

["Did you give it?"] He asked me.

I walked outside before I answered his question. It's hard to hear anyone. Keifer and his people were still here. When I got a little further away, I just spoke.

"Yeah... He just had no clue it was from you."

["It's okay... It's better that way. When he realizes it right away, Keifer will know."]

I released a heavy sigh. "Why don't you just show up for him?" He sighed as well. ["I have my reason, David. When everything is settled I'll get her back from those scumbags. But right now...

Please do me a favor."]

"Anything."

["Keep Jay-jay safe for me."]

"I will..." I answered quickly and he ended the call.

I turn around facing the entrance door of the resto. From here I can see Jayjay clearly. She looks so happy, even though she can't move properly. She was so brave to face the men earlier. She was alone but she managed to knock down more than five.

She's no ordinary. I walk back inside. I need to do what she asks. Percy's request.

Jay-jay's POV

The fruit salad is delicious. Felix's mother is the one who made it and gave it to us. I keep thinking about Dalia and of course Percy. Where is she now and what exactly is she doing?

Hey...

"Are you guys ready?" Rory asked us while on the mic.

"Yeah!!" We almost shouted in unison while clapping.

"Alright! Here is Yuri Hanamitchi of Section E..."

We all clapped and waited for Yuri to sing.

"🎶I'll hold the door, Please come in and just sit here for a while. This is

my, way of telling you I need you in my life. It's so cold without your

touch, I've been dreaming way to much can we just turn this into

reality...🎶"

Because of the beauty of the song, you also started clapping along. And I wasn't the only one doing that. That's why the kid next to me was so annoying. His clap was out of tune. After we clapped, his.

"🎶...Cause I've been thinking 'bout you lately, maybe you could save me,

from this crazy world we live in and I know we could happen, cause you

know what I've been feeling you...🎶"

Yuri just stop suddenly because of his stare at me. I don't know why he's doing that but I can't help but smile. I suddenly remembered what Keifer had told me before, at the Festival when Yuri was singing.

The crazy ones suddenly started singing as if they knew the lyrics very well. I saw Calix and Mica holding each other's arms. I also wanted to join his singing because...

"🎶..Cause i've been thinking 'bout you lately, maybe you could save me from

this crazy world we live in and i know we could happen, cause you know

what i've been feeling you... I know you want me...🎶"

I felt and knew that Keifer was looking at me strangely. It was as if he was waiting for my reaction to what Yuri was doing. It was as if I was suddenly pressured. I just made the wrong move and it would be interpreted.

"🎶..There's no other... There's no other love... That i rather have... You

know... There ain't no one... There ain't no one else, i want you for

myself....🎶"

Shit! Is this it? Is this what the ring means? Is he looking at me? I don't want to assume but because....

Aaahhhhh!!

We gave him a big round of applause but then I heard someone speak.

"That's it! Story repeat!"

I looked around to see who said that, but I wasn't sure which of them it was. I just ignored it, because I didn't know what that meant. Yuri left, our eyes met. I smiled at him and he did the same to me. Rory was now in front, holding the mic.

"Thank you very much Yuri!" She said. "...Now, Jay's Warrior presents!"

Wow!

Here it is again, that Jay's warrior! I thought we were done talking there. The dancing dancers with that name came forward. Led by Ci-N, of course! The lukos started dancing. I didn't realize that Yuri had already sat down next to me.

"Did you like it?" she asked me.

I nodded while smiling. We didn't speak again after that. The atmosphere around us became awkward. I wanted to ask him a quest I'm here.

"Uhmm..." He started. "...W-want to eat again? I'll get you some."

I shook my head. "I just finished eating."

He nodded and fell silent again. Every now and then I looked at him and our eyes met. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Tsk. What is this?!

"Yuri..." I started. "...y-about the ring."

He looked at me. I started it. If I waited for him, maybe the new year would be over and nothing would happen.

He took a deep breath. "Jay-jay... I-i... Hey... I don't know how to say this."

I wanted to yell at Yuri and tell him to talk. I was really nervous about what he was doing. It was like I was waiting for a prize or an announcement.

Hurry up!

"Jay... Y-you..."

I just stared at him. He was the same way.

"Jay-jay..." He called me.

He was talking for too long. He and Ci-N finished dancing. Rory grabbed the mic again and spoke, causing him to get our attention.

"Thank you so much to Jay's Warrior! Now... Let's go to our second game!" Rory said.

Our friends shouted and clapped.

"Bring me!" Rory shouted.

That game was so new. After all, that's what they always played at Christmas parties.

"Let's get started! Bring me... Bring me... Bring me something...SWEET!"

Suddenly, they got into a fight and grabbed something from the sweets. But they were caught because Calix and Mica were already in front of them.

"Someone has won!" Rory shouted. "...Calix and Mica!"

"Where's the sweet?!" Ci-N asked.

"The two of them... They're sweet to each other." Rory explained.

We both ahhed at the same time. Rory is fine too. As long as it's in the word sweet, it's fine.

"Next! Bring me..." Rory said after the prize was handed to the two of them.

"...Bring me... Bring me... Bring me..."

"That took a long time!" Felix complained.

"Wait a minute! Still thinking!" Rory shouted at him and we laughed.

"...Bring me... Bring me something... Black and white."

They suddenly looked at me. I also looked at what I was wearing. I was wearing a black t-shirt with a white Christmas rock print. That's why before they could move, a hand grabbed me to stand up from where I was sitting next to Yuri.

"Hey! Come on! Wait!" I shouted as I was suddenly picked up like Keifer's rice sack.

He walked closer to the front and set me down next to Rory.

"Someone has won!" Rory shouted.

I glared at the King of the Cobras. "Why do you need to be with me?!"

"Can you take off your t-shirt?!"

Oh yes! I was wrong about that too. Keifer took his prize from the cluster of prize gifts. But he handed it to me.

"I don't need it... It's yours." He said.

"Next!" Rory shouted so I left in front. Keifer was left there to give the gift. I went back to where I was sitting earlier. Yuri was smiling at me.

"Open it." He ordered while pointing at the prize I was holding. I did so and removed the wrap. Instant noodles!

"This is it?!" I asked annoyed. Langya! This prize is fine! Yuri suddenly laughed. "We had a hard time wrapping it beautifully." I laughed too. As if to say, this is the only Christmas party I know that gave instant noodles as prizes.

"Why is your prize like this?" I asked while still laughing at my hand.

"It's like that, even when David was our president." He explained.

"Why are you wearing that?" I asked when I suddenly remembered that he was wearing an elf costume like Ci-N.

"We used to be silly, wanting to impress our president. We ask him to wear a Santa Claus costume. Then we search for someone who can join him and wear an elf costume. That's it, Keifer's karma came back to us." He said and suddenly laughed.

That's why the fool was wearing that and even accompanied him. Incidentally, what you did will come back to haunt you.

"Last Bring me!" Rory shouted, making us look at him. "...Bring me... Bring me something... Bring me something that you love!"

Suddenly Yuri picked me up, bridal style. I couldn't let go of her anymore and he walked straight to the front.

As soon as she put me down, Ci-N immediately complained.

"Hey! Something you love!" Ci shouted while wearing a mask.

"Yeah..." Yuri replied.

The feeling I was feeling earlier is here again.

"Why did you bring Jay-jay?" Rory asked.

Suddenly Yuri looked at me. I wanted to turn away and leave where I was, but I couldn't. My knees didn't want to get in the way.

It was a joke!

"...Co'z I'm in love with Jay-jay."

After Yuri said that, everything stopped automatically. Literally stopped,

the music died because the player was moved. Rory dropped the mic, Mica and Calix looked at each other, Ci-N slapped his forehead and almost all of them looked at the three of them, Yuri and Keifer.

"Dead... Story repeat!"
