Jay's POV
I barely survived the day.
Between Keifer's shameless flirting that nearly gave me a heart attack and that phone call that almost made me pass out in the hallway, my brain was officially fried.
All the way home, one word kept looping like a broken alarm:
Luna.
That deep, low voice. The way he said it. Like he still owned the right to call me that after all these years....And the worst part?.....He was alive.....Actually alive. In the Philippines. And planning to meet me....hell I wanted to meet him too....
My head was so far in the clouds that I walked straight into the house without noticing anything.
Until a giant human monkey launched itself at my face.
Jay: AHHHH!! What the f—
"BABY SISTAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
I nearly had a second heart attack.
It was Percy. Grinning like he just won the lottery and the prize was annoying me.
Jay: Son of a— Percy, I swear to God—
Percy: Baby sistahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Six months! Six whole months without this handsome face! How did you even survive?!😫😫
Jay: I survived just fine until you tried to murder me with a hug. Normal people say "hi." Normal people wave. They don't jump like a rabid gorilla.
Percy: I missed you so much. Kiss me and Hug me ..... Now.😘
Well, Keifer will get jealous if I give you a kiss and—
Wait....What the hell is wrong with me.
Then...I stared at my brother's ridiculous face and just... lost it. Laughter burst out of me so hard I almost choked. We crashed into a hug that was half affection, half attempt to strangle each other.
Jay: I missed your ugly face so much, you absolute menace.
Percy: Ugly?! (breaks the hug and strikes the most dramatic model pose known to man, hand under chin, one leg slightly forward) Excuse you. This face is a national treasure. Scientists study it. Birds cry when they see it.
We both exploded into laughter again. The kind that makes your stomach hurt and your eyes water.
Before we could keep roasting each other, a familiar voice floated from the kitchen.
Tita Reycee: Jay, anak...
I spun around so fast I almost tripped and ran straight into her arms.
Jay: Titaaa! I missed you so much.
Tita: Me too, baby. But look at you... you're so thin. Aren't you eating properly?
Dad's voice came from behind, completely deadpan.
Dad: Not eating properly? She eats like four grown men at every meal.🙄🙄
I clutched my chest like he just stabbed me with pure betrayal.
Jay: DAD!!! Why are you like this?! I don't eat a lot! I just get genuinely hungry! My stomach has a high-speed digestive system, okay?! It's a medical condition! Rare! Very rare!🤧🤧
Dad: Medical condition, huh? Last time you finished—
Tita: Jasfer. (cuts him off with the power of a woman who has raised children and will end lives if necessary) Our Jay is still growing. She can eat as much as she wants. Baby, eat until your heart is happy.
I hugged her tighter, almost crying from gratitude.
Jay: Tita, you are the best human being on this planet.
Percy: Baby sistahhhh!!! You just broke my heart! I thought I was the best! Your handsome, charming, perfect older brother!
Jay: You're not handsome.
Percy: I am. You're just in denial because my beauty is too powerful for mortal eyes.😚
Tita burst out laughing so hard she had to hold the kitchen counter.
Tita: Okay, okay. Jay baby, I brought you lots of chocolates. They're already in your room. Go check before your brother tries to steal them.
The second the word "chocolates" left her mouth, my brain short-circuited.
Mouth watered. Eyes sparkled. Survival mode: activated.
I planted the quickest kiss on Tita's cheek and launched myself toward my room like a missile that had just locked onto its target.
Everything else could wait.Food can't ...
Keifer's POV
I walked into the house still grinning like an idiot.
Today had been too fun. Teasing her until her ears turned red, watching her try (and fail) to act normal... fuck. I wanted to back her against a wall and kiss her senseless until the only name left in her head was mine.🌚
I headed straight to my room, freshened up, grabbed my phone, and started downstairs. Chocolate first. Then more teasing. Perfect plan.
I barely made it past the second floor when a voice stopped me cold.
It was coming from Dad's study.
Low. Tight. Controlled... but the kind of controlled that only happens when someone is this close to losing it.
I had barely ever seen my father angry. The fact that I could hear it now made the air feel heavier.
Company problem? Maybe.
I stepped closer and peeked through the half-open door.
Mom was inside.
Her face looked completely drained of color, like she had just been hit with something brutal and was still absorbing the impact.
Dad stood with his back to the door, shoulders rigid.
His voice came out sharp and quiet.
Dad: You don't get to refuse me. Not after all these years. You're forgetting who holds the real power here, Serina.
There was a pause. Then Mom's voice — low, clear, and strangely calm.
Mom: You're right. You may have the power... but as long as my name is on those papers, the final decision stays with me. That is one fact you will never be able to change.
Something about the way she said it made my stomach twist.
I didn't like how still the room felt.
I stepped forward before I could stop myself.
Keifer: Mom... Dad... is everything okay?
Both of them flinched....Actually flinched.
In the next second their faces smoothed into those perfect, warm parental smiles they always used in public. Too quick. Too practiced. Too fake.
Mom: (trying hard to sound light) Keifer, baby... why are you out here? You should be in your room finishing homework. You have school tomorrow.
Keifer: But I heard—
Dad cut me off. His tone was still wrapped in warmth, but the edges were sharp enough to cut.
Dad: Nothing is wrong, Keifer. Go back to your room. This is adult business. It doesn't concern you.
I looked between them.....Mom's smile was too wide.....Dad's eyes were too still.
I didn't buy a single second of it...Still, I nodded and turned away.
As I walked back to my room, the conversation kept replaying in my head.
Refuse.Power.Papers.Final decision.
I had never once seen my parents argue like that. Not even close.
Whatever that was... it didn't feel small.
I dropped onto my bed and stared at the ceiling, phone forgotten in my hand.
I really hoped it was just a temporary disagreement.
But the way Mom's face had looked...
and the way Dad's voice had sounded...
something in my gut refused to believe it.
Jay's POV
I was sitting cross-legged on my bed, staring at the pile of expensive chocolates Tita had left for me. They looked dangerously good. Soft, shiny, the kind that melt the second they touch your tongue.
I had already shoved five into my mouth.
My hand was reaching for the sixth when my phone buzzed.
Keifer.
It had to be. That gago called me almost every evening just to tease me until I wanted to throw the phone at the wall. One time he even video-called me while wearing nothing but boxers, and his... reindeer was so hard I felt a wet heat pull low in my belly before I could even process what I was looking at.🤧🤧
I almost ignored the call. Chocolate was sacred.
But something in my gut said answer.
I casually picked it up, already prepared to hear Keifer's teasing voice.
Then I saw the number.
Unknown.
But familiar.
The same one that called me this morning at school.
My blood ran cold.
I quickly shut my bedroom door, locked it, and answered with a voice that came out clearer than I expected... but still trembling.
Jay: H-Hello?
Silence.
Then that voice.
Deep. Low. Unmistakable.
" Luna"...
The single word hit me like a fist to the chest.
Tears spilled down my cheeks before I could stop them.
He was really alive.
Jay: CC... (voice cracking) It's really you? Why... why didn't you contact me all these years? Where the hell were you hiding? I refused to believe you were dead... I refused... but everyone kept saying you were gone. They called you a bad person. A criminal. Everything.
CC: Luna... I know. I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry. But I didn't have any other way.
Jay: Why? What happened that day? Why did you just disappear? Tell me everything. Please.
CC: I will. I promise I will. But first you need to understand something. The people around you are hiding a lot of secrets. A lot. I'm back to give you everything that was always meant to be yours.
Jay: But CC—
CC: No buts, Luna. You already know. You were meant for this. We had a deal.
I went quiet for a few seconds, heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat.
Jay: You said the people around me are hiding secrets... what do you mean by that?
CC: You'll find out everything soon. But right now, listen carefully. Your phone is being tracked. Multiple devices.
My stomach dropped.
Jay: Tracked? What the hell do you mean tracked? Who's tracking me?
CC: Luna... four years is a long time. You've fully adapted to this chaotic, reckless "Jay" version of yourself. Where's the Luna who never needed to be told twice? The one who was Jay to everyone outside... but Luna when it mattered?
Jay: CC...
CC: I know my disappearance broke something in you. I know. But that doesn't mean you get to forget who you are. You're Jay to the people you love. But you're Luna to the ones who betray you... and to the ones who touch your family.
His voice dropped even lower.
CC: I want Luna back.
Memories slammed into me all at once.
Old ones. Sharp ones. Ones I had buried so deep I almost forgot they existed.
I looked down at my hands.
Jay: I'm sorry, CC. I'm so fucking sorry for disappointing you. I promise I'll bring her back. I promise. I fucking promise.
He hummed softly. Warm. Approving.
CC: You don't have to apologize. I know what you're capable of when you're determined. Now listen to me carefully. Your phone is being tracked. I can't keep talking to you on this line. They'll know.
My breath caught.
Jay: ...Is Dad one of them?
Silence.
Then his voice, quiet and sharp.
CC: I think you're intelligent enough to figure that out yourself.
My lungs refused to work for a second.
Jay: ...I understand. What do I have to do?
CC: Tomorrow, take a half day at school. Give whatever reason you need. I'll message you the location. Switch your phone off before you leave. I won't call you from this number again. After we meet, I'll give you a new one. Then we'll talk properly.
I nodded even though he couldn't see me.
Jay: Okay, CC. Tomorrow. We'll meet.
CC: Good night, Luna. Don't forget what I said.
Jay: I won't. Good night.
The line went dead.
I sat there for a long moment, phone still in my hand, before slowly standing up and walking to the mirror.
For the first time in years, I didn't look at the reflection as Jay.
I looked at her as Luna.
I pulled the collar of my shirt down over one shoulder.
The tattoo near my collarbone caught the soft golden light from my desk lamp — black, sharp, and permanent.
I stared at it.
Then I whispered, voice low and steady:
"Luna... it's time to wake up.
(After dinner)
I walked back to my room with a heart full of secrets and a smile that didn't reach my eyes.
I had to keep it together. I was not breakable. No one could know CC had called. No one.
I stood by the window, letting the cool night breeze settle against my skin. Soft. Almost peaceful.
Then a loud, aggressive knock destroyed everything.
I fixed my face and opened the door.
Percy: BABY SISTAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Did you miss this handsome face already?! Be honest!
I sighed... but a real smile still escaped.
Jay: We literally saw each other five minutes ago, you ugly-faced disaster.
Percy barged in like he paid rent.
Percy: Wow. My own sistahhhh is rejecting this national treasure of a face. Heartbreaking. Anyway, sleepover time. We just reunited. It's the law.😇😁
Jay: I never agreed to any law.
Percy: (grinning) You won't deny me. You never can.
I stared at him for three seconds.
Fine. My brain was already on fire from CC's call. Talking to this idiot might actually help.
Jay: ...Fine. You win.
Percy: I knew this handsome face would win again.
We flopped on the bed and talked about everything—his New York friends, my most embarrassing school moments, the usual chaos.
Then HVIS came up.
Percy: I wonder how KYAP is surviving without seeing this handsome face every day...
Jay: I still can't believe Aries, Yuri, Keifer and you were best friends. Aries barely looks at Keifer and Yuri now. They act like they want each other dead.
Percy: We were best friends... before the accident. I really miss them.
I patted his hand.
Jay: Do you know who was behind it?
Percy: They blamed Aries, but none of them did it. I know that.
Jay: Won't they lose their minds when they see you? To them you were dead. It's like a ghost appearing.🙂
Percy: (evil grin) That's why I'm so excited. Especially to see my Keif baby's face.😘
I was mid-bite into my chocolate when my entire soul froze.
Jay: Excuse me... I'm sorry... what... What did you just say?😧
Percy: My favourite Keif baby. Don't get jealous, baby sistahhhh. You're still number one. He is forever number two.😌
Am I hearing things ?????...have my brain got fried so much ??😶
Jay: You mean Keifer... as in Mark Keifer Watson... as in the president of Section E...😐
Percy: Yes.
Jay: You call him Keif baby... and he just... lets you?
Percy: Lets me? He loved it. He never once told me to stop.
My eye started twitching. I still couldn't digest it.
Jay: Did.....did .... Yuri and Aries know about this "Keif baby" thing?
Percy: Of course. My Aries baby loved it too.
Holy seventy mothers of sheep.😨
Aries too?! Then what the hell is Ella for?!
Before I could recover, Percy kept talking like he was discussing the weather.
Percy: You won't believe how pure our friendship was. We shared everything. We even used to see each other's... everything.
I choked. WHAT THE FUCK—🤯
Jay: (trembling) See each other's everything? What... What do you mean everything?
Percy: You know... those things. (scratching the back of his head) We saw them a lot.😅
Am I overthinking??? ...I must be.
Jay: Those... things? You mean that ( eyeing down )....that thing of a boy? Like... you actually looked at that?
Percy: (casually) Yeah. It's normal for boys. We even touched them sometimes.😙
Jay: (voice going high) TOUCHED?! Percy, what the actual fuck?! Do you even know what you're saying??
Percy: Calm down... it's not that uncommon. We measured them too. Just for fun. Yuri's was large. Keifer's was small. We were all shocked.🤭
Measured.!!!!!!!!!! Measured??
Keifer's was small..... they mean keifer's REINDEER is small??🤯😧
But that liar told me his was big. He said no one had ever touched it.
My brain started spinning.
Jay: You... measured them? With your hands?
Percy: Obviously with our hands. How else? And sometimes we even pulled them. Just to check the reaction.
My soul packed its bags.
Jay: Pulled... them?😱
Percy: Yeah. And you know what's funny? Keifer's taste was actually really good.😌
I stopped breathing. My soul left my body.
Jay: (eyes wide) ...Taste?
Percy: Yeah. Surprisingly good taste. Better than the rest of us.
Taste.
TASTE.?!!! They tasted each other's reindeer?!!!😭😭
My brain short-circuited so hard I saw white.
Keifer's taste was good?!
What the fuck does that mean?! Did they... did they... did they put it in their mouths?!🙀😭
I was one second away from dying on the spot.
Jay: (voice cracking) W-what do you mean his taste was good?
Percy: Exactly what I said. His taste was clean, expensive, high quality. The rest of us were basic.
Clean. Expensive. High quality.
I wanted to throw up and cry at the same time.
Jay: You... tasted it?
Percy: Of course we did. We all did each other's together. How else would we know whose was better?
That was it.
I was no longer alive.
My body was still sitting on the bed, but my soul had already filed for divorce and moved to another country.
I imagined Keifer standing there while Yuri was on all fours tasting his reindeer, pulling it, taking it in his mouth... then Percy and Aries doing the same... then everyone switching places... DAMN!!!!!!!😳😱
If they pulled it... measured it... tasted it...
Then Keifer must have had his first orgasm with them.🥺
Which means he is not a virgin.😭
Tears and pure horror rose together.
I had saved myself for him.
And he gave his reindeer to Horoscope, Yuri, and my own brother like free tickets ...😭
I could have accepted the size lie. Maybe he was insecure. Fine. Man dignity. Whatever.🤧
But showing it... touching it... pulling it... tasting it with my brother and his friends?!💔
God.
Keifer Watson...
You're gay.
Then why the hell are you flirting with me every single day?! Why, you absolute traitor?! You could have just told me you liked boys like Kit and Mayo! I would have cried, eaten ten chocolates, and accepted it with a broken heart! But this?!
Percy kept talking, completely unaware that I was having a full mental funeral.
Percy: Honestly, those days were the best. Zero shame. We even argued about whose was the softest.
Softest???????😨
I wanted to jump out the window.
Percy: You're quiet. You okay?
Jay: Perfect. Super perfect. Never been more perfect in my entire cursed life.
He yawned and rolled over, already half asleep.
Percy: Okay, enough chatting... Night, baby sistahhhh... this handsome face needs beauty sleep...
The second his breathing evened out, the dam broke.
Tears spilled. My mind went full dark mode.
My heart shifted into high gear.
Fear flooded every vein.
Tear after tear kept falling like rain.😭
Is this what happens when you're heartbroken? You become poetic?
I wiped my face angrily and whispered into the dark:
"Keifer Watson... I hate you. I hope you marry Percy and have twelve kids. I hope all of them look exactly like Yuri... then Percy becomes heartbroken and Yuri cheats on you with Aries... and Aries names the baby after me just to be petty... and the baby grows up looking exactly like you so every single day you have to stare at your own face and remember what you did... I hope the baby's first word is 'Keif baby'..and the kids start a YouTube channel called 'My Dads Used to Measure Each Other' and it goes viral and ruins all of you forever."."💔💔
I paused, sniffling.
"...And I hope the baby is lactose intolerant."🤧
Then I shoved the rest of my chocolate into my mouth like it owed me money and cried myself to sleep.
Percy's POV
After six long months, I finally got to see my baby sistahhhh again and I was buzzing. I knew she'd missed this national treasure of a face even if she would rather die than admit it.
After dinner I marched straight to her room for a sleepover. We talked about everything — New York, school disasters, the usual chaos. Then she brought up KYAP and something in my chest went quiet for a second.
I really did miss them. Sometimes I still wonder... if the accident never happened and I never disappeared, would KYAP still be the same?
The memories hit me and I started telling her the old stories. When I casually dropped "Keif baby," her eyes went huge.
Jay: You call him Keif baby... and he just... lets you?
Percy: Lets me? He loved it. He never once told me to stop..
Every single time I called him that, Keifer would squeeze his eyes shut, facepalm so hard I thought he'd leave a permanent handprint, and mutter "Stop." I think maybe He was too shy to admit that he liked that nickname.... He never actually punched me, so clearly he loved it....😇😅
I kept going, reminiscing about how pure our friendship used to be.
Percy: You won't believe how pure our friendship was. We shared everything. We even used to see each other's... everything.
Jay: Those... things? You mean that thing of a boy? Like... you actually looked at that?
Percy: (casually) Yeah. It's normal for boys. We even touched them sometimes.
Obviously we saw each other's underwear during sleepovers😙. What else? We slept in half-pants and t-shirts. That's literally just boys being boys. Why was she looking at me like I just confessed to a war crime?....☹️
Jay: TOUCHED?! Percy, what the actual fuck?! Do you even know what you're saying??
Percy: Calm down... it's not that uncommon. We measured them too. Just for fun. Yuri's was large. Keifer's was small. We were all shocked.
Yuri's underwear was so oversized it basically looked like normal outdoor shorts. Keifer's were tiny because his mom bought a mountain of them on sale and they shrunk in the wash. He kept wearing them because "Tita Seriana said not to waste money." We didn't even need a measuring tape — one look and you knew.🤭
Jay: You... measured them? With your hands?
Percy: Obviously with our hands. How else? And sometimes we even pulled them. Just to check the reaction.
We pulled the waistbands to tease each other. But we really never went that far...Keifer got especially dramatic about it though. He'd slap our hands away and say, "That's for my future wife to do, not you idiots.🙄" I still want to meet this future wife one day just so I can tell her the story....😝
Jay: Pulled... them?
Percy: Yeah. And you know what's funny? Keifer's taste was actually really good.
Jay: (eyes wide) ...Taste?
Percy: Yeah. Surprisingly good taste. Better than the rest of us. His taste was clean, expensive, high quality. The rest of us were basic....
Well I have to admit that....Shirts, pants, shoes — even the cheap ones looked expensive on him. Tita Seriana had terrifyingly good taste. The rest of us looked like we got dressed in the dark....
Jay: You... tasted it?
Percy: Of course we did. We all did each other's together. How else would we know whose was better?
We tried on each other's clothes, duh. Keifer's shirts were always the softest and most comfortable. How else are you supposed to know if something feels good unless you wear it yourself? I thought girls did this all the time. Don't they steal each other's hoodies and then never give them back?🤔
Jay's face went through every stage of grief in under ten seconds. Her soul visibly packed a suitcase and left the country. I had no idea what her problem was. Girls are supposed to be ten steps ahead on this kind of sharing-is-caring stuff....🤷
I yawned. Sleep was winning.
Percy: You're quiet. You okay?
Jay: Perfect. Super perfect. Never been more perfect in my entire cursed life.
Percy: Okay enough chatting... Night, baby sistahhhh... this handsome face needs beauty sleep...
I rolled over and was already halfway to dreamland when I heard her muttering curses into the dark. Something about Keifer marrying me and having twelve kids who all look like Yuri.
I smiled into the pillow.
My baby sistahhhh was so dramatic..... definitely my sister!! 🤭🤭
