Jay-jay's POV
I'm hungry! I wanted to ask for food but to whom?
I can't go home, because I don't know how far Keifer's house is from ours.
"You're Jay-jay..." Ci-N said to me and tried to reach for the cue.
Should I hit him with this?
"I don't want to! You guys play!" I said and walked away.
He's been teaching me how to play billiards for a while now but I'm not listening. I'm really hungry.
I approached Felix to say hello to him. They said Eren, I shouldn't let him sleep. They didn't say why.
"Felix..." I called him.
He forced one of his eyes open. The other one was already closed due to the swelling.
"Jay..." He called me. "...S-sorry huh?"
"Why are you sorry? I should have."
"I-I should have... I'll take care of you. I-I should have thought of that when I first started."
"Don't think about that. Keifer and Yuri came to help us."
He forced a smile and moved the ice bag on his face. I helped him move it and pressed it slightly.
Suddenly the door opened so I turned around. It was Keigan.
"Brother... Breakfast is ready and I would like to invite your friends to eat with us." Keigan said formally.
I looked at Keifer to see what he was going to say but I was surprised to see his palm bleeding.
"Keifer, your palm!" I told him but he ignored me.
He walked out the door and just passed Keigan. I looked at Yuri who was left standing in their place.
"I'll take that as a yes. Please follow me..." Keigan said and was about to leave.
"Keigan!" I called to him and he stopped. "...Because Felix, he can't be with us."
He looked at Felix and smiled. "I'll send the doctor and my butler here to help him."
He walked away again and Ci-N and Eren followed him. I didn't leave first so that Felix could be with someone but Yuri also stayed behind.
"Follow them." I ordered Yuri.
"No. I'll stay here with you."
I just let him go because I knew he wouldn't let me. Yuri, he's like Keifer too.
"What happened to Keifer?" I asked him and went to the bar where they were sitting earlier.
I saw broken glass and blood. I wasn't sure what happened. I didn't hear anything that was broken.
"I said something bad and he broke the glass." He answered me and scratched his head.
Come on! Our secret!
Maybe he told us our secret that's why he acted like that. Maybe he wasn't happy or didn't want to.
"W-what did you say?"
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." He quickly answered me.
A man in a white polo shirt entered. He introduced himself as Keigan's butler, so we left Felix and followed Ci-N.
I just followed Yuri. He seemed to know where he was going.
"How old is Keigan?" I suddenly asked Yuri.
Because the atmosphere was awkward. Neither of us moved so I went back to remembering what he had done.
"14." He quickly answered.
14? Same age as Ci-N but he's almost older.
"He's still young."
"Don't trust him." Yuri suddenly said, stopping me.
"Why?"
"He's a psychopath."
Come on! Keigan is dangerous?
"I mean.. crazy----"
"Not literary psycho... We just call him like that because he acts like one. To make it easy on you, he is the worse version of Keifer." He explained.
So Keifer is my worse version. I thought he was the worst of all. We continued walking until we got outside where there was a pool.
Did I have breakfast? I looked around and saw them at Gazibo. Ci-N was waving at me while having a piece of bread.
"Is this really where they are having breakfast?" I asked Yuri and we walked towards them.
"No... But Keigan likes this." Yuri answered me.
When we got to them, Keigan immediately stood up and pulled the chair next to him. He made me sit down and took care of him. The gentleman he used to be. It didn't seem worse... He looked like a good boy version of Keifer. Keifer was not there and was busy devouring the snacks. Keigan gave me food on a plate.
"Enjoy your breakfast..." He said and smiled.
I looked at Yuri who was also looking at me. He was drinking coffee and seemed to be feeling Keigan. While eating, I couldn't help but ask.
"Where is Keifer?"
"Behind you..." Keigan quickly answered me.
I looked back and the newly bathed Keifer was walking closer.
He was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but he had something to follow. A younger version of Keifer and Keigan. He just looked more grumpy.
"You woke up early, Keiren." Keigan teased the boy. His name was Keiren. I'll bet he's Keifer's brother, twenty-five cents.
"Shut up!" Keiren quickly replied to Keigan.
Oh, that's a snotty!
Keifer sat down on the bench across from me. His hand was bandaged. I watched him but he didn't even look at me for a moment.
I stopped when I noticed Keiren looking at me. He stared at me and almost melted me.
"So Kuya Keifer isn't gay..." He said, causing Keifer to spit out the coffee he was drinking. Yuri and they both laughed a little, which they tried to hide.
"...he keeps bringing boys instead of girls. So I thought he was gay."
This is more explanation.
I would have laughed too if Keif's look was deadly er.
"That's coming from the boy who can't even look Yoichi's eye." Yuri replied, causing Keifer to be stunned and smile.
Yoichi?
The feeling of not being able to relate to what they were saying. Even though Eren and he were laughing at what they were talking about.
"Speaking of Yoichi... She called me Yesterday, she said she was going home because she's missing you." Yuri added.
Keiren suddenly blushed and seemed to have lost his appetite.
"W-who's Yoichi?" I asked Keigan, who was the closest to me.
"Yuri's younger sister and Keiren's crush." He quickly answered me.
"Shut up! She's not my crush!" Keiren shouted angrily, causing them to laugh even more.
Yes, by the way. Yuri has a sister in Japan. I don't know her name.
They continued to tease each other. Keifer just smiled but didn't speak. He didn't even look at me for a moment.
I felt sad. Even though it was fun to tease Keigan and Keiren, I couldn't help it.
Breakfast was over and all we did was chat.
It was fun and I lost track of time.
"Keigan... What time is it?" I asked.
Keigan looked at his wrist watch. "It's 9:58am."
"Thank you."
"Are you going for a walk?" Yuri asked me.
"Nothing... I was just thinking about Kuya. I didn't come home with us, he might be looking for me." I explained.
"Angelo knows that you're here." Keifer said.
Does Kuya know?
"We called him last night. We already explained what happened so you don't need to worry about him." Yuri added.
Okay... My fear disappeared for a moment. But I was also thinking about Aries. I didn't say goodbye to them.
"So you have an older brother?" Keigan asked me.
"No. He's not my brother but an older cousin and as a respect we call him Kuya." I explained.
"Really? What is his name?"
"Michael Angelo Fernandez."
"Ow.. Are you Boss's cousin?" Keigan asked a little surprised.
Boss?
"Boss? Why do you call Kuya Boss?"
"That's what Yuri and Kuya Keifer call him."
I looked at Keifer and Yuri but they immediately looked away from me.
"You don't know about it? They used to be together----"
"Keigan." Keifer cut him off.
The look Keifer gave him was meaningful. They stared for a moment and Keigan turned to face me again.
He smiled at me. "Sorry if I keep asking questions."
"O-okay..."
That means they used to be together, Kuya. That's why he knew Yuri and Keifer. But Aries and Keifer were at odds, so why did they end up together?
Besides, the last time they met, Keifer was clearly not happy. What happened to them?
Suddenly, Eren and Ci-N stood up.
"I need to go home. My mom texted me." Ci-N said and came over to me. "...Are you coming with me, Jay?"
I was about to open my mouth to answer but Yuri beat me to it.
"I'll take her."
"S-okay... Bye Jay!" Ci-N said and walked away.
"I'll go with him. Be careful Jay! Bye!" Eren said goodbye and followed Ci-N.
"Bye! Be careful!" I said goodbye to them.
I didn't take my eyes off Ci-N and Eren until they were completely gone. Everyone was silent for a moment until Keiren stood up.
"I'll get back inside. It's boring here." He said and walked away.
I can already see Keiren's future. Keifer is Keifer because his ex is. I just hope he doesn't become a Kumag or Ulopong like his brother.
When Keiren walked away, Keifer took out a pack. He took out a stick and handed it to Yuri. He lit it first before handing over the lighter.
Were they smoking?
Keifer raised an eyebrow when he noticed me staring at them.
"You can ask if you want... No need to stare like that." He said.
I shook my head. "I tried that once and I won't do it again."
Yuri stopped and seemed to not believe what I said.
"You do?"
"Yes.."
"Why did you stop?" Keigan asked.
"My boyfriend burned me when he caught me that's why I didn't do it again." I answered directly with a hint of annoyance.
Oh wait! Is it right for me to tell them that?
"He did what?!" Keifer asked annoyed.
I guess I shouldn't have said it. Yuri and I suddenly changed our looks.
"He immediately apologized. He was just angry." I tried to excuse myself.
"You're talking about this Cyrus guy?" Yuri asked.
I just nodded my head in response. It was really wrong of me to say that.
Keifer and Yuri looked like they were about to kill someone.
I'm so angry!
