The sun crept lazily through the mansion's white curtains, landing perfectly on Jay's face.She stirred, mumbling something unintelligible, and tried to pull the blanket over her head.
Except… the blanket was breathing.
She blinked, confused, and turned her head.There — Keifer. Asleep, one arm thrown across her waist, his hair a mess, the faintest smile tugging his lips.
Jay froze. Then, very carefully whispered, "Keifer…"
He hummed without opening his eyes. "Mmm?"
"Why are you in my bed?"
He finally peeked an eye open, voice raspy with sleep. "Correction. You fell asleep in my bed. You dragged me into this situation."
"I— what?! No I didn't!"
He smirked lazily, sitting up slightly. "You were cold. I was convenient."
Jay huffed. "You're impossible."
Keifer leaned closer, whispering near her ear, "And yet you
Jay was about to scold Keifer when the door burst open.
"ATE JAAAAYYY—"
"AAAHHH!" Jay and Keifer both shouted in unison, jumping away from each other like guilty teenagers.
Cin stood in the doorway, jaw dropped. Percy peeked from behind her shoulder with a gasp so dramatic it could've earned an award.
"Scandalous!" Percy clutched his invisible pearls. "Jay, I trusted you to have a peaceful morning!"
Jay threw a pillow at him. "It's not what it looks like!"
"Oh sure," Cin said, smirking. "Then explain why Keifer's hair looks like he wrestled with a hurricane?"
Keifer, ever unbothered, just stretched lazily and murmured, "Because your Ate Jay is a storm."
Jay glared. "Keifer."
"Mutya ng Sec E," Percy sighed dramatically, "caught red-handed. I am telling everyone—"
"Percy." Keifer's cold tone sliced through the air like a blade.
Percy immediately smiled. "Or maybe I'll just… shut up and make breakfast!"
Cin grinned at Jay. "You two are cute, though."
"CIN!"
Downstairs was utter chaos — Cin burned the toast, Percy argued with the coffee machine, and Aries accidentally switched salt with sugar.
Jay sipped her black coffee in silence, trying to ignore Keifer's smug grin from across the table.
He leaned close and whispered, "You blush too easily, Mrs. Watson."
She kicked his shin under the table. "You wish."
After breakfast, Ella clapped her hands. "Okay girls, shopping trip!"
Cin squealed, Rosie jumped, and even Lia was in. Jay waved them off, feigning a yawn.
"I'll skip this one. Got… paperwork to handle."
"Paperwork?" Ella raised an eyebrow. "You mean overthinking in peace?"
Jay shrugged. "Same thing."
As soon as the girls left, the mansion became suspiciously quiet.
In the living room, Adam whispered, "Mason dropped a message.
"Michael looked up. "Coordinates?"
Sam nodded. "Yup. Mission time."
Keifer adjusted his jacket. "We'll check it out — Jay's busy anyway.
"Rafael joined with a grin. "Finally, something exciting."
The Aces + Rafael headed out first, sleek and silent.
Moments later, Sec E + Angelo + Tiger slipped out from the other side, following their own lead.Both teams were unaware they were heading to the same destination — the League headquarters.
A metallic gate loomed in front of them, a glowing pad waiting for a password.
The Aces arrived first.Adam typed in random guesses until Michael groaned.
"It's still the old one."Sam sighed.
"You're kidding me."
Together, they said: "Sushi lencho burger."
Click. The door unlocked.
Just as they stepped in—a voice shouted from behind, "HEY! YOU GUYS TOO?!"
They turned to see Sec E, Angelo, and Tiger standing there — just as shocked.
"Wait…" Michael blinked. "Why are you here?"
david crossed her arms. "Why are you here?"
Angelo looked between them, realization dawning."Don't tell me…"
Everyone, in perfect disbelief:"WE'RE WORKING FOR THE SAME LEAGUE?!"
Rafael sighed dramatically. "Out of everyone in the underworld, it had to be us."
rory: "At least we know who's getting blamed if we blow up the HQ."
felix : "Not me. I'm just here for moral support."
Keifer ran a hand through his hair, muttering, "If Jay finds out, she's going to bury all of us alive."
percy : "Correction — she'll bury us twice for dramatic effect."
The AI voice interrupted, monotone but cheerful:"Welcome back, Sushi lencho burger."
Everyone stared at the screen.Cin whispered, "Who the hell picked that password?"Michael grinned. "."
keifer " wait isnt it jay's favourite maybe it's coincidence"
