So, I made sure to wake us earlier than usual today, so that we'd have time to pack everything and write the note.

Doing that in our pajamas was the funniest thing, because only now did Jay notice just how much stuff he had bought. I was laughing at him so much my sides hurt, I mean he just looked so lost in the middle of all these piles.

After some time, I managed to pull myself together and help organize the clothes in different categories. Like short sleeved shirts together, or sweatpants, or like suits.

After some time, we were late on our usual schedule so we had to run around getting ready, Jay's staff looked amused at our misery. But because of the amount of stuff we had to give Daniel, we agreed to have the staff drop it to us so we could give it to him on his way back to his house. Jay was surprised to know that I knew where Daniel lived.

"I also know most addresses of most of the close people around us... And all the teachers... And basically all the school's staff... And maybe I did some snooping around in people's backgrounds that were connected to the close people around us... And I might have some blackmail folders on everyone previously listed... A lot of blackmail folders actually..."

I sweated a bit as I awkwardly chuckled while Jay looked at me with his jaw dropping.

But he quickly put himself back together as he realized we were still late.

So we zoomed to school on his motorcycle.

...

At the end of class, we were now standing there, with one duffle bag, waiting for Daniel. Some guys agonizing from us beating them up not far from there.

Thought, just when I saw Daniel walking towards us, I vanished as Jay got distracted.

So everything went like in the webtoon, thought both Jay and Daniel were really confused as to where I went. Jay because I was with him and Daniel because Jay didn't seem to know I wasn't there at first.

So Jay also vanished just then and joined me in the alley where his bike was parked.

When he inquired as to why I left him to give it to Daniel on his own, I just smiled, a light shadow falling on my face, not answering.

I mean, I know he likes him. It was pretty obvious in the webtoon. Even now, when I'm here, he always gets distracted by Daniel.

I can't be selfish and sabotage his moments with him, just because it hurts me. I love Jay, I really do.

That's why I have to do everything I can to make him happy.

He deserves to be happy.

Well maybe I'm already quite selfish. I know he likes someone else but I stick to him still.

Maybe I'll allow myself to be selfish, just a little bit... Until he pushes me away or walks away from me, towards Daniel.

Until then, I'll just... Be a really selfish bastard.

...

The next day, me and Jay had again, both slept at his place. So we went to school together again.

Here came Daniel through the door, just like in the webtoon. Everyone was drooling, but I turned my head to look at Jay, just admiring him while he wouldn't notice.

He turned to me and we both silently laughed at the weirdo trio obsessed with money-o.

When Daniel came to us to try and thank us or something, we pretended to be studying together. I opened the book previously in preparation for that. He just gave up and went to his seat.

Jay was sparkling, looking so proud of himself. I just ran my hand through his hair, telling him about how nice and cool he was. He got embarrassed quickly, but I kept going.

...

The next day, as I sat down in my seat. I just froze and stared into space.

Are Jay and I living together now or am I supposed to go home alone??? Like he has hygiene products at my house now, just staying there, and I do at his house too. But we never made it official. I just invited him for one sleepover. Oh god is this just one really long sleepover??? Does Jay think that??? Wait. I was the one to invite him for a sleepover. Is he waiting for me to clarify it since I started this??? Oh god how do I bring in the subject?? Like hey do you want to live together??? Is that okay to say out of the blue??? Like how do I lead up to this???

Jay suddenly bring me out of my thoughts and asks me if I'm okay. I just panic and end up blurting out ;

"You could get murdered alone."

We both stare at each other for a bit before I just drop my head on my desk in pure embarrassment.

He starts rubbing my back, trying to comfort me, while I wallow in my misery.

"I just wanted to ask you if we could live together since we kinda are but it's not official so I started overthinking and didn't know how to go about the subject. I'm sorry."

I just kept my head dropped in despair, as the hand rubbing my back freezes for a bit, before he taps me to make me turn to him.

I turn, still sulking and quite fearful of his answer, but he smiles at me, nodding. I immediately spring upright and I bear hug him tightly for a while.

But then class starts and I have to let go to do the things you'd do in class as a good student, although I do intertwine our fingers together and hills that hand tight.

...

Now comes the time for the slave auction introduction.

I do freeze when they say that only girls can bid. God do I hope everything stays like in the webtoon, because I can't bid for Jay. Well I could always get Zoe to bid for him for me using my money. But I sure do hope I won't be chosen to participate. I doubt I'd be but maybe they want some more different categories of guys on the stage, and a goth guy would do the trick for the difference aspect. And seeing as I'm not a phenomenal hotty, I wouldn't get fought over by Lala and Crystal, and I would be bought by some random girl, and I'd have to go on a date with her. Who knows who will buy me. But since I'm goth some creepy girl that's into sacrifices might buy me and try and sacrifice me, thinking I'd be fine with it because she would have assumed I'm into that as well.

Aaaaaaa

Anyways, no use worrying too much about that right now.

...

I was now lunch, me and Jay were at our spot. Technically, despite having packed our stuff separately, it was all one big lunch. I made all of it, with Jay's help. I've found he likes learning how to cook at it's fun doing it together. So with having 2 lunch spaces, I had more space for different dishes. So we were currently both eating from both lunchboxes.

We both got startled as Vin Jin threw his cup at Duke. We both looked up and past Daniel's shoulder to stare at him. Well, Jay was just staring at him, but I was more in the lines of death staring at him with all the hatred in me.

I've been training I could take him on. I'm sure of it. Plus, the more time I spend living, the more I start to notice little things I can do. Like I can make certain parts of me feel like they did in the void, weightless. Or sometimes, in the shower, when I get too deep in thoughts about my time in the void, my hands will start looking about transparent. Sometimes, the laws of physics I was so used to before dying feel weird too, and I get the feeling that I could probably play with those if I just... Reached for it.

I haven't tried yet because I haven't needed that yet, and I'm scared that if I do I could fuck up and not be able to undo it, and since Jay and I have been pretty much inseparable, he would be in the vicinity.

I don't want to accidentally hurt him.

So I haven't tried that.

But my physical body is getting stronger very quickly. I don't think I'm the same brand of monster as Daniel though.

Anyways, Vin Jin got distracted by Zack.

I just started my usual thing of feeding Jay while he looks at what's happening. Thought I did keep an eye to make sure that if anything came out way, I'd be ready to protect him.

The fight got diffused and lunch kept going.

...

End of day, we left as usual.

I mean I can't sing phenomenally or dance super good. Well I'm good at dancing with a partner but I'm saving that for personal uses. But it's not like I could perform for the festival or become a trainee. So I can't change the events to come. Thought everything did work out in the end.

I'll just have to wait until I can do something to change something I don't like.

The stalker ark.

...

We were chilling at my place, when I noticed we were out of snacks, so Jay and I went out to the convenience store to buy more. Jay in one of my hoodies, looking adorable.

Entering the convenience store, we were still holding hands while I waved at Danny while greeting him. Dude looked red since we caught him singing. I dragged Jay to introduce (?) them. I mean they don't know eachother in that body of Daniel's.

"Jay, meet Daniel Park, like how big of a coincidence is it that he has the same name as our classmate? So he's my friend, I haven't met him often but he's really nice."

Daniel looked embarrassed but he and Jay quickly greeted eachother and started small talk while I went to stock up on snacks, thought I did stop in front of the first aid kits section, unsure. So I just asked Danny loudly so he'd hear me.

"Danny, do you need a restock on your first aid kit from last time!?"

"I don't, thank you!"

"Great!"

Soon, I came back, arms absolutely full with a mountain of stuff I liked, stuff Jay likes and new things to try. Daniel sweat dripped while Jay quickly came to help me with the stuff.

I paid for the things, chatted a bit with Daniel before bidding him goodbye and leaving hand in hand with Jay. He insisted on carrying half the stuff.

Outside the door, we did almost crash into Crystal, but we quickly apologized and she helped us get the one bag that we dropped and I gave her a nod of acknowledgement as she did to me and we left.

I don't need to be here. Last time did nothing, I was literally ignored.

...
Huge time skip to festival
...

Today is the festival day.

The last few days have been awesome, me and Jay have gotten closer I think. I now hug him all the time and hold his hand in public too.

Zack did look at me for a bit when I was hugging Jay from behind while he was having a conversation with Daniel one morning. But I just tiredly nodded to him. He nodded back. And ever since then he's started coming to me discreetely to ask about ideas to woo Mira. So I did.

I tried to get him to stop gelling his hair but he didn't listen. Thought I think we've entered an unspoken agreement or friendship. I don't know.

He did come to me when I was alone outside the bathroom, waiting on Jay, to discreetly ask about my sexuality.

So I deadpanned at him and just sighed.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm gay. And you know that."

He nodded, patted me on the shoulder  and went on his way.

So ever since that day, every time I'm not with Jay for whatever reason, he comes to me.

Sometimes I give him advices for Mira, sometimes he just pats my back as I despair at Jay probably not returning my feelings.

Problem that arrived from this thought, is that now when he mutters about Daniel not going near Mira, he's added Jay to that. Thank god Jay or Daniel haven't noticed.

Anyways, festival day, here we come.
