Jayjay's POV
Keifer smiled and reached for a big blue box sitting on the table. "Before we go down… I got something for you."
I blinked, tilting my head as he handed it to me. "You didn't have to—"
He chuckled. "Open it."
Inside were Snorlax Crocs, a Snorlax "Just Do It Later" hoodie, custom Snorlax Pokémon Air Jordan 13, a Snorlax figural mini backpack, a Snorlax metal drink bottle, and finally… a Snorlax plushie that looked exactly like the one I had before.
My eyes widened, tears threatening to fall. "Keifer… you remembered."
He smiled softly. "Of course I did."
I couldn't help it — I leaned forward and kissed him. This one was longer, deeper, filled with everything I couldn't say in words.
When we finally pulled apart, I whispered, "Thank you, Keifer."
He smiled and said, "Come on, birthday girl. Let's go downstairs before they send a search party."
We both laughed and headed down.
The moment we reached the bottom step, everyone turned and cheered loudly.
Yuri grinned. "Look at how she's smiling — way more than when she came in!"
Ci-n laughed and added, "Of course, her husband has arrived!"
Everyone burst into teasing laughter as my cheeks turned bright red.
Then Keiren and Keagan came running toward us.
"Kuya!" Keiren said proudly, "See? I helped you! Will you buy me more V-Bucks for my Fortnite game now?"
Keagan sighed and said, "Tell Kuya Keifer that you almost told Jayjay he was here."
Keiren gasped. "No, I didn't! Kuya asked me to distract Jayjay while he went upstairs, and that's what I did! I wasn't going to tell her!"
Keifer and I both laughed so hard at the two boys' mini argument that we nearly fell over.
"So, you guys knew he was coming?" I asked.
But the boys only smiled mischievously and quickly walked away.
I turned to Keifer, crossing my arms playfully. "So everyone knew you'd come?"
He laughed softly. "Yeah… they even helped me sneak into your room without you noticing."
I shook my head, smiling. "Unbelievable."
Then I told him everything he'd missed — how Yuri finally gave Ciel a chance, and Adrian and Valerie had become official. His smile never faded as he listened.
A few minutes later, my mom's voice called out, "Jayjay, it's time to cut the cake!"
We gathered around the beautiful birthday cake — Keifer beside me, Aries on my other side, and everyone else surrounding us with phones ready. I took a deep breath, made a wish, and together, we cut the cake.
Everyone cheered as we started sharing pieces. Keifer and I sat together eating quietly, smiling at each other.
Then Honey came over, grinning wide. "Jayjay, you don't even know where your husband has been."
I looked up, curious. "What do you mean?"
Honey smirked. "He's been meeting with designers — to design your school bags, bottles, shoes, hoodie , and even a plushie! And do you know how much all that cost?"
I shook my head slowly.
"Five million," she said dramatically. "Because he wanted original brands!"
I choked on my cake instantly. "F-Five million?!"
Keifer glared playfully at Honey. "Honey, go. Now."
She laughed, giving him a teasing look before walking away.
I turned to Keifer, wide-eyed. "Are you crazy? Five million?"
He only shrugged with a smirk. "It's nothing. You're worth more than that."
I rolled my eyes but couldn't stop smiling.
The night went on, laughter and stories filling the air. Slowly, people began to leave — it was already past 11 p.m. Soon, it was just me, the Section E boys, Adrian, Ciel, Valerie, and Keifer. His siblings had already been sent home by Honey.
We all sat on the couch, chatting and teasing as I started to open my gifts. Some were sweet, some funny — one even made me laugh until I cried.
Then I picked up Adrian's gift. It was a small box. I opened it — inside was a tablet.
"Touch the screen," Adrian said, grinning.
I did, and the screen lit up with an AI voice that said, "Welcome, Miss Watson."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Say 'Section E'," Adrian said.
"Section E," I repeated.
Immediately, an app opened — it was an anime titled Ang Mutya: Section E.
I tapped the screen, and a video started to play — showing the first time Keifer and I met, right at the entrance of the Section E classroom, where he told me to go back to the main building.
I paused it and turned to Adrian, stunned. "How do you know our story ?"
Adrian smirked. "Keifer told me."
Ciel raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you even start working on this?"
Adrian replied, "Since we came back from Jayjay's house after meeting Angelo."
Everyone nodded in surprise. "Ohhhh…"
Then David leaned forward. "Wait a minute, Adrian — who's looking after the gaming company and the mall?"
Adrian stretched his arms. "My grandparents' assistant, Robin. He's managing it for now. I just visit once a week to check how things are going."
Everyone nodded, impressed — then the teasing started again until laughter filled the room once more.
By midnight, everyone began heading home. I stayed upstairs, arranging all my gifts neatly by my study table.
After a warm shower, I came back to my room, picked up the Snorlax plushie Keifer gave me, and hugged it tightly.
A soft smile spread across my face as I whispered, "Goodnight, Keifer."
Then I drifted off to sleep, the happiest I'd ever been.
