Keifer POV
The mansion was quiet.
Too quiet.
Jay was finally sleeping peacefully.
The pain seemed much better now, and for the first time in two days, I wasn't worried every second.
Then—
"BANG!"
The bedroom door suddenly burst open.
"Ate! Kuya! Save me!" Keiren shouted.
Before I could react, Keiren ran straight toward Jay and hid behind her.
Jay immediately sat up.
"What happened?" Jay asked.
Keiren pointed dramatically toward the hallway.
"Monsters!"
I stood up immediately.
"What monsters?" I asked.
Before Keiren could answer, Keigan walked into the room calmly.
Unlike the dramatic child behind Jay.
Keigan looked at Jay.
"How are you feeling?" Keigan asked.
"Much better," Jay said.
Then Keigan looked at Keiren.
"Stop being clingy and get down."
"No," Keiren said.
"Keiren."
"No."
I crossed my arms.
"Someone explain."
Keigan sighed.
"Your classmates came."
The moment he finished speaking, Keiren immediately jumped toward me.
"Kuya!"
His arms wrapped around my neck.
His legs wrapped around my waist.
I almost lost my balance.
"Whoa!"
"Save me!" Keiren shouted.
I stared at him.
"From what?"
"Edrix!"
I blinked.
"What did Edrix do?"
"He was tickling me!"
From downstairs, I heard Edrix laughing.
Keigan rubbed his forehead.
"That's why he called them monsters."
I looked down at Keiren.
"Next time don't scare us like that."
"Sorry," Keiren said.
"You don't sound sorry."
"I'm not." Kerien said and ran toward his room
Jay POV
The second I heard Section E was here, I jumped off the bed.
"Jay," Keifer said.
"I'm fine."
"Take the heating pad."
"No."
"Jay."
"No."
Ignoring Keifer's request to bring the heating pad, I headed downstairs.
The moment I entered the living room—
Chaos.
Complete chaos.
Rory.
Felix.
Mayo.
Ci-N.
Edrix.
Eman.
Calix.
Yuri.
Every single one of them.
The moment they saw me, their faces lit up.
"Ohhhh," Mayo said.
"The missing couple arrived," Rory said.
I narrowed my eyes.
"What?"
Felix smirked.
"You and Keifer were absent together."
"Oh, I wonder why," Edrix said dramatically.
The entire room burst out laughing.
I grabbed the nearest cushion.
"Try me."
Then Keifer walked in behind me.
"There is nothing like that," Keifer said.
Everyone looked at him.
"Jay wasn't feeling well," Keifer said.
"Oh really?" Mayo asked.
"Oh really?" Rory repeated.
I could literally feel my eye twitching.
"Listen carefully," I said sweetly.
Everyone immediately became quiet.
"If you continue, I will bury all of you underground."
Nobody moved.
"Or maybe," I continued, "I'll leave you all with rats and mosquitoes."
Felix immediately sat up straight.
"Okay that's scary."
I smiled.
"Or maybe I should tell your girlfriends how many people you're talking to at one time."
The room became silent.
Everyone slowly looked toward Calix.
Then toward Eman.
Eman's eyes narrowed.
Calix immediately raised both hands.
"At least we're loyal!"
Eman glared at him.
"WE?"
The room exploded.
Edrix fell off the couch laughing.
Yuri almost choked on his drink.
Even Keifer started laughing.
Calix pointed at all of us.
"None of you are helping!"
"Nope," Edrix said.
"Not at all," Felix said.
"You're on your own," Rory said.
I crossed my arms proudly.
"Exactly."
Then Ci-N finally stood up.
"Can you all stop?"
Everyone looked at him.
"The farewell event is coming."
Immediately the room became quieter.
"And before that, we have a social topic project."
Everybody groaned.
"Jay," Ci-N said, "you're in my group."
"Me too," Felix said.
Rory looked toward Keifer.
"What about you?"
Keifer immediately answered.
"Obviously I'm with Jay."
The room went silent.
Then—
"Ohhhhhhhhh."
I covered my face.
"Stop."
"Look at her," Mayo said.
"She's turning into a tomato," Felix said.
"I'm not."
"You are."
"I'm not."
"You are."
And somehow they laughed even harder.
My phone suddenly started ringing.
I looked at the screen.
"Aries!"
I immediately answered the call.
Aries appeared on the screen.
He looked tired but the moment he saw me his expression softened.
"How are you feeling?" Aries asked.
"Much better," I said.
"Good," Aries said. "Don't do anything stupid."
Before I could answer, I grinned.
"Oh, look who's talking."
Aries narrowed his eyes.
"What?"
"Horoscope."
Aries immediately pointed at the screen.
"Monkey."
The whole living room burst out laughing.
"I am not a monkey!" I said.
"You are," Aries said.
"I am not."
"You are."
Then suddenly Percy, who was sitting on the other couch, jumped up and ran toward me.
"Move! Move! Let me talk!"
Before I could stop him, Percy shoved his face in front of my phone.
"ARIES BABY!"
Aries immediately looked horrified.
"Oh no."
"Oh yes," Percy said.
"Please no."
"Oh yes."
The room exploded with laughter.
"How are you, Aries baby?" Percy asked.
"I was fine until five seconds ago."
Even Keifer laughed.
Then Yuri moved closer.
"Aries."
Aries sighed.
"What?"
"When are you coming back?"
Aries raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
Yuri looked serious.
"I miss you."
The room immediately became silent.
Then—
"I don't even get cuddles anymore."
Everyone lost it.
Edrix nearly fell off the couch.
Felix started wheezing.
Mayo was crying from laughing.
Aries covered his face.
"What is wrong with all of you?"
Then Keifer walked over and sat beside me.
"Actually, when are you coming back?"
Aries immediately smirked.
"Oh?"
Keifer rolled his eyes.
"What?"
"Aww." Aries said dramatically and to be honest Inever see him like that so i started laughing more
"No." keifer replied immediately
"You missed me."
"I didn't."
"You did."
"I didn't."
Aries pointed dramatically.
"Look at them."
Then he pointed toward Percy.
"HE misses me."
Percy immediately nodded.
"I do."
Then Aries pointed toward Yuri.
"HE misses me."
Yuri nodded too.
"I do."
Then Aries looked at Keifer.
"And you miss me too."
Keifer snorted.
"In your dreams."
Aries smirked.
"Sure."
Then he looked toward me.
"Monkey."
I gasped.
"Horoscope."
"Monkey."
"Horoscope."
"Monkey."
"Horoscope."
Percy suddenly raised both hands.
"Can you two stop fighting ?"
"WHAT?"
Both me and Aries shouted at the same time.
And the entire house exploded into chaos again.
