Keifer's POV:
She was too beautiful for her own. I'm falling so hard for her.
Why did a stupid plan like mine end up here? I wanted Ella back. But, this girl? She's worth my life. I'd jump off a cliff just to see her smile.
I don't know. I keep denying my feelings, but the idiotic feelings keep coming back.
My plan backfired.
I'd do anything for her. Protect her from my stupid cousins? Yes.
Keep her away from David? Yes.
Make her my wife? Yes.
At this point, I doubt what I am without her.
Only if I could tell anyone about everything.
Well, I could. But what if I seem like a lovesick idiot?
Her smile was so beautiful, it lit me up more than the sun could.
Her face was so gorgeous, I would smile like an idiot when I'm alone just by thinking of it.
Her personality is so chaotic; she is the Real Mutya of Section E.
As Yuri said sometime before, yeah, she belongs in Section E.
But, I hope I don't let my possessiveness tear through. I don't want her to cry, never.
I pray to every single god in the world. I hope she's the one I see every morning. First face as I wake up, my days go as bright as her.
When we all went downstairs, Jay and Ci-N rushed.
Damn.
"You were staring at her." I heard a voice. Of course, it was.. annoying April.
"Yeah, so in love, 'diba?" I said cheekily. She'd been shipping Jay and me since she returned.
"O namannn, edi wow.. someone got a girl finally."
Tss, that hurt deep!
..
That was the moment peace ended. Ci-N was sprinting towards us like a professional sprinter, poor Jay. She was being dragged.
"You guys did so well! Wowahhh," Ci-N appreciated our efforts, but why do I wait only for her? I want her to say something!
"All did nice."
Was all she said. Does she hate me that badly? All did nice, how dry. Drier than the Sahara.
"Jay, you know.. a certain someone's eyes were only directed towards yours~.." April teased.
Jayjay gave a disgusted look, "No one!"
Everyone started teasing her, they started throwing random words like:
'Ay, blushing like a tomato..' Calix
'SO IN LOVE!' Ci-N
'MOM AND DAD<3' April
'#JayFer FOREVER!!!' Edrix
'Husband and wife!~' Felix
I love her, and the whole Section E knows it! Only if she knew.
She's testing my patience:/
"How did I do?" I stepped closer and looked her straight in her beautiful eyes.
She was utterly flustered. Somehow, she managed to speak a few words.
"It was good. But why did you choose my favourite song?"
Ah. Is she flustered for that? The bare minimum I'd do for her.
"Huh, wanted to make you the happiest."
Her eyes widened, like this was the best thing someone had done.
If this is true, I'm ready to make her feel the happiest moments.
With me.
"Uy, you're making me sick. You know that?" April whispered.
Ow.
"Why the hell am I making you sick-"
OH.
"Shut up."
She grinned mischievously and turned.
"Lovebirds, naman~"
I froze for a second. Lovebirds?
"Shut up," I muttered, but my voice cracked a little. Great. So much for looking cool.
She tilted her head, eyes sparkling like she knew exactly what she was doing.
"You're… weird," Jayjay whispered, and somehow it made my chest tighten instead of… insult me?
I blinked. "Weird?" I asked, pretending to be confused, but inside I was screaming. Weird? Weird?! That's the nicest thing you could say to me right now!
She laughed softly, a sound that should be illegal because it made my brain short-circuit.
And then… Ci-N shouted from the side, "Ayyyyyy, love is in the air~!"
Jayjay groaned. "Stop."
But April? She leaned in, whispering conspiratorially, "He's already head over heels, and she doesn't even know it fully yet."
I could feel my face burning. I wanted to punch April. I wanted to punch Ci-N. I wanted to punch literally everyone except… her.
Her eyes caught mine for a fleeting second. That moment, that tiny moment, and I could swear the universe paused.
All I could think was: I'd go through hell and back just to make her smile like that every single day.
Then she leaned back, shaking her head like she didn't mean to make me melt, but… oh, she did. She totally did.
"Stop staring," she said, flustered, but her lips curved in a way that made my knees weak anyway.
"Can't help it," I admitted, grinning like a total idiot.
And she… rolled her eyes. Perfect. Perfect eye-roll. Section E's chaos, right there.
I wanted to tell everyone, this girl. She's mine. And I'll fight the world for her.
But I didn't. Not yet. Not today. I'll play the slow, tortured hero… for now.
Because one thing was crystal clear: my plan might have been a trap, but damn, my plan gave me this. Basically, a trap for myself, a trap for my love.
