( happy galentine's day . 🥰. So you have a valentine but if you don't that's fine let's celebrate galentine's day. Do you wanna become my galentine 😉)
(Jay POV )
I woke up before my alarm.
Big muscular hands were draped on me.
I don't even need to see who it is
Keifer
Ofcourse
I shifted to see him fully. His arm tighten automatically around me.
How can someone look so handsome even while sleeping. Ofc my hubby. SHUT UP JAY YOU ARE NOT MARRIED.....byt still
He was looking so calm. And cute i can't resist. I leaned in and give him a quick peck on lips.
Becouse of that he woke up. Eyes still half closed.
" Hey that's not fare wifey." He said voice husky from sleep.
I laughed and then TRIED sitting up.
" Get up we have school today" I said
But ofc this ulupong.
He pulled my back by my wrist.
And now...i was on top of him.
"Wifey give me my kiss them only i will let you go." He said with a smirk.
Seriously this man had literally plastered that smirk on his face.
We will get late if i didn't kiss him so i kisses him calm kiss that says itself like good morning. He kissed me back same like that but then ofc this ulupong can't have only one kiss it turned into another then another after a while kissing of 30 minutes we got out of bed
I looked at my self in mirror slowly and reached for my hair first — always my hair first. I ran my fingers through it, checking texture, volume, whether it needed serum or just brushing.
Perfect.
Then skincare.
Cleanser. Cold water. Light moisturizer. Lip balm.
If I'm going into a building full of judgmental eyes, I'm going in glowing.
By the time I walked downstairs, my hair fell perfectly over my shoulders — soft, controlled, intentional. My skin had that quiet glow I pretend I don't work hard for.
Keifer took bath in another room.
Then we had our breakfast.
Then it's time for us to go. We are going in keifers car. First he drops his brothers.
All four of us.
Closed doors.
Engine on.
Air tight.
Energy tighter.
I slid into the passenger seat. Keifer beside me. Keigen and Keiren in the back.
The air felt thick. Like someone had something to say but didn't know who would start first.
Keigen's voice came from behind.
"You take longer than necessary."
I didn't turn around.
"I moisturize," I said calmly. "It's called standards."
Keiren muttered, "It's called being obsessed."
I finally turned slightly, just enough for them to see my expression.
"Keiren, if you washed your face properly, you wouldn't be mad at people who do."
Silence.
Keifer adjusted his grip on the steering wheel.
I saw it. That tiny shift. He was listening.
The car started moving.
The road hum filled the gaps between us.
I could feel their eyes sometimes. Not admiring. Not friendly. Just… watching.
Evaluating.
I crossed my legs slowly.
Keigen scoffed quietly. "You act like this is a runway."
"It is," I replied. "Everywhere is."
Keifer's jaw flexed slightly at that.
He liked that answer.
The space felt smaller by the second.
Keiren leaned forward slightly from the back seat. "You really think you fit in at HVIS?"
There it is.
I tilted my head, staring at my reflection faintly in the window.
"I don't try to fit in. I make space."
The car went quiet again.
Keifer didn't interrupt.
He never interrupts when I handle myself.
Then Keigen leaned forward too.
"You think just because you're living with us now, you're untouchable?"
That one had weight.
That wasn't teasing.
I turned fully this time, meeting his eyes.
"No," I said softly. "I think I'm untouchable because I don't beg for approval."
The car stopped at a red light.
Nobody moved.
The air conditioner hummed softly.
Keifer's hand shifted gears.
Keiren scoffed. "You're so full of yourself."
I smiled faintly.
"And yet you're all staring."
That did it.
Keigen leaned back with a frustrated exhale.
Keiren looked out the window.
And Keifer?
He was staring straight ahead, but I saw the corner of his mouth lift.
Just barely.
The rest of the ride was silent.
But not empty.
It was the kind of silence where everyone is thinking too much.
When we pulled up to Keiren's school, he hesitated before getting out.
For a split second, his eyes flicked to me.
Not hate.
Not exactly.
Something else.
Then he stepped out.
Door shut.
The air felt lighter.
Next was Keigen's stop.
Before leaving, he leaned forward between the seats.
"Don't think you won that car argument."
I raised an eyebrow.
"There wasn't one. You tried. I ended it."
His jaw tightened.
Then he left.
Door slammed.
Now it was just me and Keifer.
The quiet changed instantly..
Softer.
Controlled.
Then his hand rested on my thighs. I felt me cheeks felt warm . I looked at if the window.
Keifer smirked
He drove for a few seconds without speaking.
Then—
"You don't need to prove anything."
His voice was calm. Low.
I looked at him.
"I'm not proving," I said. "I'm establishing."
That made him glance at me.
And this time, he didn't look away immediately.
"You like pushing them."
I smiled faintly.
"They push first."
A beat.
Then—
"They don't know what to do with you."
That wasn't criticism.
That was observation.
I looked out the window, watching the city pass by.
"They'll adjust."
He didn't respond.
But when he parked at HVIS and the engine turned off, his hand brushed against mine on the console.
Not dramatic.
Not loud.
Just there.
"Let them look," he said quietly.
I opened the door.
"I always do."
And when I stepped out of that car, I didn't just walk into school.
The doors slid open.
And I didn't walk in alone.
Keifer's hand was holding mine
Not loose. Not accidental.
Firm.
Warm.
Intentional.
My heart did that small, annoying flip —
but I kept my face neutral.
We stepped inside together.
And of course—
Of course they saw
Felix was the first to freeze mid-sentence.
Yuri blinked once.
Eman leaned forward.
Then—
The building exploded.
"AYOOOOOO!"
"WHAT IS THIS K-DRAMA ENTRANCE?!"
"WHY IS THERE HAND-HOLDING BEFORE 8 A.M.?!"
Mayo Blaster stood on a chair dramatically
"PRESIDENT CONFIRMED IN HIS LOVESTORY ARC!"
Rory clutched his chest. "Mutya, blink twice if he forced you."
I rolled my eyes but didn't let go of Keifer's hand.
Not even slightly.
Keifer? Calm.
Deadpan
But I felt his fingers tighten just a little.
Josh squinted at us.
"So this is why she's glowing."
Drew pointed. "Bro holding hands like they just confessed under cherry blossoms."
Eren:
"Where's the OST? Someone play dramatic music."
Ci N made fake violin sounds.
Whole building laughing.
Whole room watching.
And I? I just stood there.
Unbothered.
"Are you done?" I asked flatly.
Felix gasped dramatically. "She speaks!"
I finally smirked.
"At least I'm not screaming like extras in a low-budget drama."
Collective "OOOOHHHH."
Mayo Blaster fell off the chair on purpose.
"Mutya fighting back!"
Keifer finally spoke.
One sentence.
Calm
"Sit down.
Immediate reaction:
"YES SIR PRESIDENT SIR."
"Scary."
"Authority activated.
They all sat — still grinning like idiots.
And he never let go of my hand.
Not until we reached our seats
And when he did?
It wasn't awkward
It was deliberate.
Like:
We don't hide. We don't explain. We don't ask permission.
