Chapter 86 - Chapter-229


Video call


Jay-jay's POV


ALMOST! I almost fell off the bed. Otherwise
....haizt!
I almost tore my lungs out screaming so hard. Several nurses ran
into my room. A Doctor even scolded me
or the scandal.
And that was Ci-N's fault!
"You're crazy!" I said angrily when the nurse came out. "...I almost had
a heart attack because of you! Why didn't you come in
right away?!"
She just laughed while scratching her head. I wanted to kick the
wheelchair she was sitting in so that she would throw herself away. That was the
tire that was lacking oil.
"The connection is getting cut off." She said while pointing at the
laptop she was holding. "...it's been cut off again. I'm still waiting for the
internet to catch up."
I really thought it was a ghost peeking at me and opened the door.
I almost cursed in every language---even though I didn't know---
because of him.
"What is that? Can't it be tomorrow?"
I said a little annoyed.
He shook his head while typing on his laptop. "This is urgent.
It should be now."
That was a flash! I really thought my soul would separate from
my body.
I scratched my head in annoyance. Add to that my mom is missing and
I don't know where she went. I just closed my eyes for a moment and she disappeared. While waiting for the
internet connection to be established , Ci-N and I
talked for a while . "Do you know what happened to Mykel and where he is?" I asked. He looked at me
seriously. "He ran away. Didn't anyone tell you that your brother Angelo is looking for him now?" I shook my
head. "W-nothing." The idiot ran away. "Your brother was so angry yesterday when he saw you in the
emergency room unconscious. We thought we were the ones to blame." I understood my brother. Especially
since Mykeliling did this to me. While he was already in a split second. "That Mykel is really a pest." He nodded
while pressing something on the laptop keyboard. I was curious because he seemed very busy. "Does he have
internet?" I looked at him and smiled. "Nothing." "So what are you doing?" He turned the laptop towards me
and the luko was playing. The title of the game was BookWord. "...I thought it was something." I lay on the bed
while looking at my bandaged hands . I just hope there are no complications. It's even harder when you're
holding something in your hand. The pain in your little finger is pain in your whole body. "Jay... Help me here."
Ci said. I got up and looked at him. He took the table with wheels that is placed on the bed so that the patient
can eat. He put the laptop on it and arranged it closer to me. Ci-N slowly got up from the wheelchair and sat
next to me. I was forced to move because of his crowding. He brought the table closer to us and started
tapping on his laptop again. "Help me with what I'm playing." He added. All I could see on his laptop screen
was letters and it looked like he had to find a word to form for more score. Since the Internet connection we
were waiting for didn't come yet, I was just playing around. "Here..." I pointed at the screen. "...Stars." "Where
else?" "Here... House." "Another word. The one with a double O." I almost buried my face in the monitor just to
find what he was saying. "Here! Here! Door!" He quickly tapped on the letters. "Where else?" "Poor. Cool. Stool.
Pool. Boobs----." He suddenly laughed at the last word I said. I noticed it too late because I kept reading and
pointing at the words. "Jay-jay rude." He said. Are you happy?! I pinched his side. "I didn't notice." We went
back to what we were doing. We looked again for words with double O. We were having fun and didn't realize
the time. "That's a lot." "A little more." He insisted and looked again. "Here! Here! Here! Blood." I suddenly
stopped. The events of the fight between Mykel and I were swirling in my mind . But something was missing.
What happened when... When... When... I tasted the blood? "Ci..." I called to him. "...W-what happened after...
When... I was hit on the head with a pipe." I held the bandage on my head. He slowly turned to look at me. His
eyes were serious and he seemed to not believe what I asked. "Don't you remember?" I shook my head. "I
remember getting up and fighting a guy but.... When the blood touched my taste..." I took a deep breath. "...it
seems to have disappeared." "Are you serious? Maybe it was an effect of being hit on you." I shook my head. "I
know not." He looked at the laptop for a moment before facing me again. "You were a bit weird yesterday."
Weird?! "Panung----?" I couldn't finish what I was going to say because Ci's laptop suddenly rang. He closed the
game and pressed something on his laptop. Suddenly Skype opened and the face of the person I didn't expect
to see today appeared. It would be more accurate to say that I had been expecting to see him for days. But of
course he left to give me space and take care of his inheritance. That's why I had lost hope of seeing him.
King of Snakes. ["What took you so long?!"] He asked Ci annoyed. Why did his voice seem different? It
sounded very masculine. Or maybe it was just because of the laptop speaker. I looked at his face, his hair was
a bit messy and it looked like a little beard was growing on his face. He seemed to be getting more
handsome? "Because the connection was lost." Ci-N answered him. I will never deny that I missed this idiot.
That I missed his shamelessness. That I missed that----as long as I missed him! Even though he was acting
stupid, I missed him. ["Where the hell is she?"] My blood boiled at what he said. Was he looking for me? Was I
that she? It was like I was getting excited that I couldn't understand. "Here-----come on! Why are you crying?" Ci
said. It was a good thing I avoided the laptop camera so the Stupid King couldn't see me. Even though I
missed him, a big part of me didn't want to show him. I wiped away the tears that I didn't realize were already
alling. My tears were silent killers, acting secretly. "N-no... I just got home." I made excuses. Ci's eyes
narrowed. "I'm not stupid. Are you crying?" I looked away. "...You're crying because I probably didn't see you on
the camera----let me fix it." Oh yeah! That's really the reason. It's a shame because I'm so pretty. I'm annoyed!
You know how I want to slap my own face but I can't because of the bandage. I don't know if he's really angry
or just playing around with anger. I just lost my attention from Ci when I saw the Dimunyung Hari looking at
me seriously. I swallowed and looked away. Even though we were only facing each other on the laptop, I felt
like he was really in front of me. ["Hey..."] He called out to me. ["...How are you?"] "I'm fine, thank you." I quickly
answered like a child. I suddenly tensed up for some reason I couldn't understand. Keifer picked up something
next to him and pressed it. ["I need your complete statement about your experience after seeing blood."] He
said directly. W-what? I looked at Ci-N who was just looking at the person he was talking to on the laptop. Did
he tell me what happened? Did Keifer know what I was doing? "Y-is that the only reason you're looking for
me?" I said almost in a whisper . Something was stabbing at my chest. I thought he wanted to see me. I
thought we were both looking for each other. His eyes were looking at me seriously. ["I need your cooperation.
We need to know what's happening to you. This is for your own good."] He was pressing the thing next to him
again, which I assumed was a computer keyboard. A tear fell from my eye, which I quickly wiped away before
they could see it. He stopped and looked at me. ["Jay-jay."] He called out, telling me to speak. Annoyed! I was
having a hard time again. I swallowed and coughed slightly to clear my voice and clear the air blockage. "I
don't remember what happened. I just remember, I thought I liked the color of blood and wanted to taste it." I
explained casually . ["But you're scared of blood."] I shook my head slightly. "I can't say. Maybe if there were
many, I feel like someone is dying. Besides, that's what happens to me too, I'm afraid of that happening again
that's why I don't want to see blood." "So you're afraid of your period?" Ci asked innocently. I winced and Keifer
slapped his own forehead, which I'd been meaning to do to myself for a while. Thank goodness for the
bandage on my hands! "Why? Isn't that blood too?" He added, almost making Keifer walk out. "Yes, that's
blood. But it's a different color than fresh blood. Fresh blood is red, menstruation is black. Okay?!" I explained
irritated. He just scratched his scalp. I turned to face Hari again, who was currently typing on the keyboard
again. A moment of silence passed between us before he spoke again. ["Ci-N... I need your statement."]
"Okay..." He started it off nicely. "...That's how it is! I followed Jay-jay to the CR. I didn't want to be with Percy.
Then I ran into Mykel and the----." ["What I mean is....Argh!"] Keifer washed his own face. He was clearly getting
angry but he was trying to hold it in. "That's the part where I got up after being hit by a pipe." I said and he
nodded.This Kid Kumag is so hard to talk to! "I didn't see much of it but I remember..." He rubbed his chin as if
he was thinking. "...Jay-jay got up as if nothing was hurting him. Then his eyes were lifeless as they stared at
Mykel. He started to rush towards his enemy as if he was really angry ." Keifer continued typing while I couldn't
take my attention away from what Ci-N was saying. "Then I saw Jay-jay's fist covered in blood. I don't know if
it was his or his enemy's. He and Mykel fought but he escaped when his other companions got up." ["What
happened when his enemy was exhausted?"] Keifer asked. "He sat down and hugged his knees. He cried and
cried while saying something----what was that?" He asked himself with his head in his hands. ["No one will
hurt me. I won't let them hurt me."] Keifer seemed to be the one answering Ci's question. "That's it! How did
you know?" Keifer looked at me and placed his elbow on the table before crossing his fingers. His mouth was
pressed against it, covering his nose all the way down. ["Ci... Please leave us."] He commanded. Ci-N followed.
He slowly stood up and sat down on the
his wheelchair. He grabbed the wheel and tried to push it out
of the room.
"Why did you let Ci-N out?" I asked him a little annoyed.
["I need to discuss something privately with you.] He took a
deep breath. ["Remember what you did to Ram?"]
I nodded. I will never forget the first man who kidnapped me
to use against Keifer. I fell down without knowing how.
["It's the same scenario. While I was taking you away, you tried to fight me
and you kept saying the same thing."]
"No one will hurt me. I will not let them hurt me."
Those words suddenly came to my mind. It was like a promise I had never let go of. My heart
started beating faster . ["Jay? Are you alright?"] "M-am I sick? Am I crazy? The crazy one who needs a mental
treatment? "The one who is dangerous to others?" I asked hesitantly. ["Relax... You're not like that. Please stop
worrying about yourself. I'll send your statement to Keigan's Psychiatrist and wait----."] "Psychiatrist?! Am I
crazy?! Is that what you think?!" I felt like I couldn't breathe. ["No. Please relax."] "I-I'm sick!" ["No! Don't think
like that!"] "Wh-what if I am?" ["JASPER JEAN!"] He screamed like a tiger. If I had just been in front of him, I
might have already developed fear in my chest. I probably would have closed my eyes and froze where I was
standing. I took a deep breath and kept looking at him. He was right. I wasn't sure if I was really sick yet. I
wasn't crazy enough to need to be taken to a mental hospital. Just go to the kitchen for now. "Sorry. I was
scared." ["It's okay. We'll wait for what the Doctor says."] I nodded. He looked at his wristwatch and faced me
again. I swallowed a few times as our eyes met----even though he was just on his laptop. ["I have to go. Please
take care of yourself and..."] I waited for what he would say next. ["...I miss you."] The video call suddenly
ended. I was speechless as I blinked my eyes. I couldn't believe what I heard from him. A smile slowly formed
on my lips. I miss you too, Gagu! "Are you done?" Ci-N asked as she entered the room. "Yes. Did you tell him
what happened?" He smiled at me, making me laugh. It was like I didn't need a sensible answer. "You're loyal
to Keifer, right?" I asked sarcastically. He just laughed. I handed him the laptop so he wouldn't get up from his
wheelchair. We chatted for a while about the trouble that happened between me and Mykel. Where is that
idiot? He also said that the Ulopongs plan to come back to him. If they can find him before Kuya Angelo. It's
not yet, but I already feel sorry for his fate. Yes, he's my enemy but Kuya is too strong and there are so many
Ulopongs. "Look... Our classmates really made an effort to get back at that idiot." He said while smiling. I was
sad. "What do you want to convey?" "Nothing... I just hope----I just hope----you'll pay attention to them." "What if
I don't?" "Okay... They'll sulk. When they sulk----." "What?! When they sulk, what?!" He smiled with his gums
almost showing. "Just sulking." I picked up my pillow and threw it at him. It seemed like he wasn't hurt by his
mischief. Where did this energy come from? We were about to retaliate when the door suddenly opened and
Mama came in. She was carrying coffee and bread. "Where did you go?" I asked her angrily. "To the cafeteria. I
bought this, that's why it took me so long. Why are you awake?" She looked at Ci-N. "...you too. Shouldn't you
be resting?" Ci just scratched the back of her head. "Oh, yeah. Jay-jay and I were just talking about something .
"I'm leaving." He also said goodbye to me. I was already lying down and trying to force myself to sleep. I
couldn't let go of Keifer's words. What if I was sick? What would I do? +
