Jay POV
We were in the auditorium for the match, but I couldn't focus properly.
That feeling again… like someone was watching me.
I slowly turned backwards.
Section E.
My brother… Keifer… and the others.
They were coming towards me.
My heart reacted instantly, and I almost stepped forward to them without thinking.
But before I could—
Announcer: "All participants who have participated in gymnastics, please report to the arena immediately."
I stopped.
Gymnastics.
Right.
But I was already moving again when suddenly—
A small tug on my arm stopped me.
I turned back quickly.
There she was.
Kaya.
Her eyes were bright, excited, almost jumping with energy.
Kaya: "Mom, it's my turn. Let's go!"
I froze for a second.
My eyes shifted between her… and Section E… and Keifer.
Then I exhaled slowly.
"…Okay. Let's go."
And I went with Kaya.
Keifer POV
We entered the auditorium, but all of us had the same thought.
Jay.
Yesterday… and now this feeling again.
Something wasn't right.
As I entered further, I felt it strongly—like someone I knew was here.
I turned my head slightly.
And my breath hitched.
Keifer: "Angelo…"
Angelo: "Yes, Keifer?"
But I didn't answer properly.
I just kept staring forward.
Then Angelo followed my gaze… and one by one, everyone did.
And we all froze.
There she was.
Jay.
Standing with F4… and a group of kids.
Their wives were there too.
But what made my chest tighten—
Six kids.
I only recognized two of them—Kevin's and Thyme's.
The other four… I had no idea.
They were all standing near Jay like they belonged there.
Like this was normal.
Then Jay turned slightly.
We were already walking toward her… and she was also taking steps toward us.
Like we were about to meet.
But before anything could happen—
Announcer: the event call echoed again.
And still… she didn't stop walking.
Then suddenly, a young girl—around 8 or 9—ran up and grabbed her arm.
Jay looked down instantly.
And her entire expression changed.
Softened.
Warm.
Like she knew her deeply.
Girl: "Mom, it's my turn. Let's go!"
That word hit all of us at once.
Mom.
Jay looked between us… and the girl.
For a moment, she hesitated.
Just a moment.
Then she turned away.
And went with the girl.
Just like that.
I stood there watching.
The girl had blue-grey eyes… and streaks of chestnut-brown in her hair.
Just like my mom .
Just like someone I couldn't place in my mind.
We stood frozen in deep thought when—
Yana: "Mama! Papa! Tita! Tito! I am also in gymnastics, let's go!"
All of us turned.
Yana was calling out loudly, excited.
Grazel gently shook her mom.
Grazel: "What happened, Mom?"
Grace: "Nothing, baby. Let's go."
Angela and Yuri immediately took Yana to change.
We all slowly moved to the seating area.
Keifer POV (continued)
From there, we saw her again.
Jay.
She was helping that same girl warm up for gymnastics.
Adjusting her posture.
Fixing her grip.
Motivating her with a calm voice.
And then I heard it again—
Girl: "Mom, watch me!"
My hands tightened without me noticing.
Then I looked around.
Three boys nearby… standing quietly.
And something about them felt familiar.
Me, Kerian, and Keigen looked at each other.
Same thought.
Same confusion.
This is deeper than I thought.
Angelo POV
Me, Aries, and Percy were looking at each other.
We didn't need words.
We were thinking the same thing.
Who are those kids?
Why did they call her mom?
And how does she know F4 so well?
For now, we decided to focus on our kids and the match.
But the tension didn't leave.
The girls around us were also confused.
Then suddenly—
She looked toward our side.
Jay saw the girls.
And she smiled.
She walked slightly toward us.
Her smile widened for a moment… and her eyes got teary.
Like she missed something.
Like she missed us.
But then—
That smile faded slowly.
Her eyes shifted toward Section E.
And everything changed.
The warmth disappeared.
She looked away quickly.
Like she couldn't stay there.
She turned back and helped the girl on the pole again, motivating her with a firm voice.
Then she walked up the stairs above us.
And just like that…
She was gone again.
