Keifer's POV
Jayden looked at me.
His eyes were shaking.
Mine probably were too.
This was it. The truth. The answer I had been craving for years.
He swallowed
"Actually... I..."
I leaned closer. I could literally hear my own heartbeat.
"Yes?" I whispered.
He closed his eyes like he was about to confess a crime.
And then—
"I ate the chocolate from your fridge."
I blinked.
"...What?"
He opened one eye slowly. "The dark chocolate. The imported one. The one you were saving."🤧🙏
The world froze.
My brain stopped functioning.
"You mean..." I said slowly, my voice dangerously calm, "the limited edition hazelnut dark chocolate that my uncle brought from Switzerland?"😱😱
He nodded weakly.
"The one I kept hidden behind the frozen peas?"
Another nod.
"The one I have been saving for three months?"
"...Yes."
I think my soul left my body for a second.
"You—" I pointed at him, my finger trembling. "You ate it?"
He gave a tiny defensive shrug. "It was staring at me."😭
"IT WAS WRAPPED!"
"Exactly! It looked lonely!"
I clutched my chest dramatically. "That chocolate was not lonely. It was marinating in emotional value."😭🤧
He stepped back cautiously.
"I was hungry?"
"HUNGRY?!" I almost screamed in a whisper. "There were biscuits. Chips. Ice cream. A whole cake!"
"But that chocolate had... aura."😁
"AURA?!" I felt personally attacked. "That chocolate was sacred!"
He crossed his arms. "You can't gatekeep cocoa."
I stared at him like he had just committed war crimes.
"How could you?" I whispered dramatically. "I trusted you in my kitchen."
He looked guilty for exactly three seconds.
Then—
"It was really good though."😁
I gasped.
"You have the audacity... the confidence... the cruelty—"
"Relax, it was just chocolate!"
"JUST CHOCOLATE?!" I held the fridge for support. "That chocolate was my emotional support system."
He blinked. "You need therapy."
"I need justice!"
And before I could process anything, Jayden suddenly pushed me lightly aside.
"I'M SORRY BYE—"
And he RAN.
"JAYDEN!" I yelled.
He sprinted out of the kitchen like his life depended on it.
For a full ten seconds, I just stood there.
Breathing.
Processing.
Recovering from betrayal.
Then it hit me....
WAIT.
HE ESCAPED.
He ESCAPED without answering my actual question.
I slowly turned toward the living room.
Section E was laughing loudly at something Yuri said.
Jayden had already slipped back into the group, acting completely normal.
Like he hadn't just destroyed my dreams and my imported chocolate.
I walked out slowly.
Apparently, I looked like someone had just told me my dog ran away.
Because ci-n immediately stared at me.
"Why do you look like someone cheated on you?"
Rory squinted. "Did the oven reject you?"
Yuri tilted her head. "Why do you look... betrayed?"
Jayden, that absolute criminal, looked at me innocently.
"Kiefer, are you okay?"
I pointed at him.
"This person—"
Jayden cut in quickly. "He's upset because the snacks aren't symmetrical."
Section E went silent.
Edrix blinked. "What?"
Jayden nodded seriously. "He said the chips were emotionally unbalanced."
I stared at him in disbelief.
"I did NOT—"
"He said presentation matters."
Josh gasped dramatically. "Bro... did the ketchup bottle fall?"
Jayden covered his mouth in fake shock. "It did."
Section E collectively gasped like someone had announced a national tragedy.
I glared at Jayden. "Tell them what you did."
He looked confused. "Me?"
"Yes, you!"
"What did I do?"
"You ate my chocolate!"
Section E froze.
David slowly turned to Jayden. "You what?"
Jayden looked embarrassed.
"I was hungry ..."
Mayo whispered, "The Swiss one?"
Jayden nodded.
The entire group gasped.
Yuri put a hand over her heart. "That was sacred."
Kit shook his head. "Bro was saving that for his wedding."😂
"I WAS!" I shouted.🤧😭
Jayden snorted. "You're seventeen!"
"It had purpose!"
"It had sugar!
Section E burst into laughter.
I looked at them in pure disbelief.
"You people are laughing?!"
Felix wiped tears. "He looks genuinely traumatized."
Jayden leaned closer to them and whispered loudly, "He stared at the empty wrapper like it was a breakup letter."
"I DID NOT—"
"You whispered 'why' to the fridge."
The group collapsed.
Calix actually fell off the couch.
I pointed at Jayden again. "You manipulated me! You used my emotional vulnerability!"
"You cornered me near the fridge!" he shot back.
"You confessed to chocolate theft in the middle of a dramatic moment!"🥺
"Because you were looking at me like you were about to propose!"😐🙂
The room went silent.
Section E slowly turned toward us.
Eman grinned. "Wait. What dramatic moment?"
Jayden froze.
I froze.
Oh.
OH.
The real reason.
The question.
The identity.
The entire reason I dragged him into the kitchen.
I completely forgot.
I blinked slowly.
"You..." I muttered.
Jayden subtly started backing away.
"You distracted me," I said.
"With chocolate?" he defended.
"You planned this."
He gasped dramatically. "Wow. Accusing me of strategy. I'm flattered."
David looked between us suspiciously... "Why does this feel like we missed something important?"
Jayden quickly grabbed a bowl of chips and stuffed one into my mouth.
"Eat. Sugar heals betrayal."
I choked. "You criminal."
He smiled sweetly. "You'll survive."
Then he leaned slightly closer to me and whispered so only I could hear—
"Next time, hide it better."😁😄
And before I could respond—
He slipped away again.
Sitting between Yuri and David like nothing happened.
Laughing.
Talking.
Breathing peacefully.
While I stood there.
Emotionally damaged.
Chocolate-less.
And still without my answer
I slowly sat down.
Denzel leaned over. "You good?"
I stared at the wall.
"He ate the whole bar."
Yuri patted my shoulder. "You'll find love again."
"It wasn't just chocolate," I whispered dramatically.
Jayden called out from across the couch, "It was delicious!"
The group burst into laughter again
I glared at him.
He winked.
And that's when it hit me again.
He escaped.
He completely escaped.
He confessed to chocolate theft
Created chaos.
Turned Section E against me.
And got out of answering the one thing I actually needed to know.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
He was still laughing.
But for one split second...
When our eyes met...
There was something there.
Something familiar.
Something that whispered—
Jay.
I leaned back slowly.
Fine.
He won this round.
But next time?
No chocolate distractions.
No dramatic fridge betrayal.
Next time...
I'm getting my answer.
And I'm hiding my snacks in a vault.🤧😐
Jay's POV
If there is one thing I've learned in life, it's this:
Never relax around Kiefer Villanueva.
Because the moment I breathe peacefully, that boy decides to test my survival skills.
We were all sitting in the living room — Section E in full volume mode. Calix was arguing with Felix about basketball, Yuri was braiding Ci-n's hair for absolutely no reason, David and Mayo were sharing chips like it was a ceremony, and Josh was recording everything "for future blackmail."
Peace.
Calm.
Happiness.
Then Kiefer suddenly looked at me.
Not normal look.
Suspicious look.
The kind of look that says, I have a plan and you're about to suffer.
"Jayden," he said casually.
I already knew I was in danger.
"Yeah?"
He leaned back like a mafia boss. "Call your girlfriend."
...
Excuse me?
"My what?"
"Your girlfriend," he repeated smoothly. "Call her. Put it on speaker."
The room went silent.
Calix slowly turned. "Girlfriend?"
Felix gasped dramatically. "oh yes !!!! We totally forgot that our cupcake boy aka keifer's secret lover has a girlfriend "
Inside my head:
Girlfriend? GIRLFRIEND? Sir, I AM the girl. Do you want me to start attracting women now just to pass your test?😭
I laughed nervously. "What girlfriend?"
Kiefer crossed his arms. "The one you said who helped you to video ella and Freya secretly and the one with whom you were busy with last Sunday."
Oh.
THAT.
I said I was busy because I was braiding my own hair and practicing lowering my voice.
Not because of a girlfriend.
Josh pointed at me. "Caught in 4K."
Mayo whispered, "Drama is my vitamin."
I swallowed.
Think, Jay. THINK.
"She's... shy," I said confidently.
Denzel's eyes widened. "So she exists....but wait she must be in HVIS or else she can't enter the washroom secretly"
Ci-n leaned forward. "What's her name?from which section is she "
Oh no.
Why didn't I prepare for this scenario in advance? I prepared fake coughs. Fake boy gestures. Fake deeper voice. But not imaginary girlfriend names.
"...Angela,... section D" I blurted.
Rory blinked. "That sounded made up."
Edrix nodded seriously. "Very default."
Felix added, "Bro downloaded her from Google."
I glared at them. "It's a normal name!"
Kiefer smirked. "Call Angela."
Inside my brain:
Okay genius. Who are you calling? Jollibee hotline? Barangay captain? Ghostbusters?
I unlocked my phone.
Everyone leaned forward like they were watching the finale of a teleserye.
I pressed the screen randomly and put it to my ear.
No ringing.
Because I forgot to press call.
David squinted. "Why is there no sound?"
"It's on silent," I said quickly.
Felix facepalmed. "That's not how physics works."
I turned away dramatically.
"Hello?" I said loudly. "Angela? Yeah, I'm with my friends."
Dead silence.
Absolute silence.
Even the electric fan sounded disappointed.
"Yeah, I miss you too," I continued.
Inside my head:
Lord, forgive me for this performance.
Suddenly—
Kiefer snatched my phone.
I froze.
He looked at the screen.
Home screen.
No call.
No timer.
Nothing.
He slowly looked at me.
The room exploded.
"FAKE CALL!" Josh screamed.
Calix fell backward laughing. "Oscar goes to Jayden!"
Mayo clutched her stomach. "He didn't even press the button!"
Denzel wiped tears. "Commitment level: zero."
I grabbed my phone back. "She cut the call!
"You didn't dial!" Yuri yelled.
"She's shy!"
"Of electricity?" Felix shouted.
Why are my friends like this.
Why is my life like this.
Kiefer stepped closer. "Why are you lying?"
For one second — ONE SECOND — I almost panicked
Because if he pushes more...
If he keeps looking at me like that...
I might forget to act.
So I did what any intelligent person would do.
I created chaos.
"you want the truth?!" I shouted dramatically.
Section E gasped together.
"Yes!" Calix screamed.
I pointed at Kiefer.
"he's jealous!"
Silence.
Kiefer choked. "WHAT?"
I nodded seriously. "He doesn't want me to have a girlfriend."
The room froze.
Felix whispered, "This just became a love story."
Ci-n gasped. "Enemies to lovers!"
Mayo clapped. "I SHIP."
Kiefer looked like he just swallowed a lemon. "That is not—"
"He dragged me to the kitchen earlier!" I added loudly.
Silence.
Slowly...
All heads turned toward him.
Rory's eyes widened. "Kitchen?"
Edrix leaned forward. "Alone?"
Josh dramatically covered his mouth. "Scandal.
Kiefer yelled, "YOU ATE MY CHOCOLATE!"
The room paused.
"...That's it?" David asked.
"Yes!"
Calix blinked. "So this entire interrogation..."
"Is because of imported chocolate?" Felix finished.
I crossed my arms proudly. "See? Drama king."
Kiefer pointed at me. "You faked a girlfriend!"
"You cornered me first!"
"You lied!
"You stole sacred chocolate!"
"It was delicious!" I defended.
The room was howling now.
Mayo wiped tears. "What kind of Wattpad plot is this?"
Ci-n fanned herself. "I feel tension."
Denzel nodded seriously. "Very intense chocolate betrayal."
Kiefer rubbed his forehead like he regretted being born.
Then Calix suddenly shouted, "Call Angela again!"
The group started chanting...
"CALL ANGELA! CALL ANGELA!"
Inside my head:
Angela, wherever you are, I apologize for using your name like this.🤧🙏🙏
"She's in Manila!" I blurted.
Felix blinked. "Five minutes ago she was shy."
"She traveled."
"In five minutes?"
"She's fast."
Josh collapsed laughing.
Kiefer stared at me with narrowed eyes.
I could see it.
He wasn't buying it.
He was still suspicious.
But he was also surrounded by chaos now.
And that, my friends, is strategy.
Yuri leaned toward me. "At least show us her picture."
I froze
Picture?
PICTURE?
Should I Google a random girl? No signal. No time. No brain cells left.
"She values privacy," I said with confidence I didn't feel.
Edrix nodded slowly. "Very mysterious.
Rory smirked. "Or very imaginary."
I threw a pillow at him.
Kiefer suddenly leaned close to me and whispered so only I could hear
"You're hiding something."
My heart skipped.
For one dangerous second...
I thought he knew.
I forced a smirk. "Yeah. Chocolate wrappers."
He stared at me.
I stared back.
Then Calix screamed from behind us, "KISS ALREADY!
The room exploded again.
Kiefer backed away immediately. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?"
Mayo grinned. "We support love."
"There is no love!" he yelled.
I crossed my arms. "See? Jealous.
He looked like he was five seconds away from combusting
And that's when I realized something very important.
He forgot.
He forgot why he started this.
He forgot the real question.
He forgot to ask about my identity
Agian.....
I slowly smiled to myself.
Mission successful.
Angela may not exist.
But my acting career does.😁😄
As everyone continued teasing Kiefer about being dramatic over chocolate, I leaned back into the couch.
Safe.
Alive
Still undercover.
And Kiefer?
Still suspicious.
Still confused.
Still looking at me like he's trying to solve a puzzle.
Good luck, Villanueva
You can investigate all you want.
But until I'm ready—
Angela will live in Manila
And your chocolate will rest in peace.😂😂
Keifer's POV
I lost.
Again.
I stood there while Section E continued laughing like they had just witnessed the greatest comedy show of the year.
Angela from Manila??...
Shy girlfriend.
Silent phone call....are you fucking kidding me ?
I rubbed my face slowly.
How does one person create so much chaos in under five minutes?
Jayden was sitting on the couch like nothing happened. Laughing with Calix. Throwing popcorn at Felix. Acting completely normal.
Too normal.
That's what bothered me.
Every time I corner him, every time I push him toward the truth... he slips away.
Chocolate distraction.
Fake girlfriend.
Kitchen scandal.
He twists the situation and somehow I'm the one standing there looking dramatic.
Felix nudged me. "Bro, move on. It was just chocolate."
I stared at the wall.
"It was imported."
Mayo patted my shoulder. "You'll find better chocolate."
I wasn't even listening anymore.
Because my mind was replaying everything.
The way Jayden panicked for a split second when I asked him to call his girlfriend.
The way his eyes flickered when I leaned closer.
The way he avoids my questions but never my gaze.
And that small moment...
When I whispered, "You're hiding something."
He didn't deny it immediately.
He deflected.
He joked.
He ran.
Again.
I exhaled slowly.
Fine.
You win this round, Jayden.
But I'm not stupid.
And I'm definitely not done.
Across the room, he looked up.
Our eyes met.
He smirked.
Like he knew he escaped again.
Like he was proud of it
That's when something shifted inside my brain.
A slow realization.
Every time I attack directly, he creates chaos.
So maybe...
I shouldn't attack directly.
Maybe I should test him.
Quietly.
Strategically.
A new idea slowly formed in my head.
I straightened slightly.
Oh.
Oh, this was good.
Very good.
I almost smiled.
Jayden, you genius little escape artist.
You think you can distract me forever?
You think fake girlfriends and chocolate betrayal will stop me?
No.
Because I don't just want an answer.
I want proof....
And suddenly, I knew exactly how to get it.
I leaned back against the wall, watching him carefully.
He was laughing loudly at something Denzel said.
What if I stop asking?
What if I create a situation that only Jay would react to?
A situation that Jayden wouldn't understand...
But she would.
My heart started beating faster.
Yes.
That's it.
I won't ask him if he's Jay.
I'll make him show me.
I glanced at Section E.
A small smirk tugged at my lips.
Okay, baby girl...😘
You've run enough.
You've dodged questions.
You've hidden behind jokes.
You've even sacrificed my imported chocolate to survive.🤧
Impressive.
But not enough.
I leaned back against the wall, crossing my arms slowly, my eyes never leaving him.
You think you're clever, huh?
Fine.
Let's play.
Because now...
You won't even realize what I'm preparing for you.
And once I find out the truth—
Once I know for sure that you are my Jay—
I'll step closer.
Slowly.
Corner you without you noticing.
And I'll whisper in your ear exactly what you've been running from.
Not to scare you.
Not to force you.
But to make you remember.
Who recognized you first.
Who never stopped looking.
Who never stopped feeling.
"And if you really are my Jay... don't worry, baby — I'll make sure you remember exactly who you've been driving crazy all this time.....I won't just remind you who's been waiting for you — I'll make you feel it....I will make you remember that YOU ARE MINE JAY..YOU ARE ONLY MINE "❤️❤️
