The mansion was quiet. Too quiet.
Keifer stood in the main hall, watching the decorators move around like ants, the planners shouting, and the staff trying to keep everything under control.
Then—
The gates slammed open.
And Section E arrived like a hurricane.
each with their own personality, their own chaos, and their own loudness.
David walked in first, already sizing up the place.
"This is… bigger than my dreams."
Rory immediately dropped his bag and yelled,
"WHO LET US LIVE IN A PALACE?!"
Blaster clapped his hands and shouted,
"GUYS! THERE'S A HUGE LIVING ROOM! WE NEED A PARTY HERE TONIGHT!"
Keifer didn't move. He just stared.
Edrix came in with a camera.
"I'm filming everything. This will be a documentary."
Cin glanced around calmly.
"So the wedding is here."
Calix smirked.
"Can we at least have a mini-camp in the garden?"
Felix sat on the stairs like it was his throne.
"I call dibs on the second floor."
Mayo, already acting like a parent, sighed.
"Guys, let's not break anything."
Kit laughed.
"Bro, we're Section E. We break everything."
Josh immediately headed to the kitchen.
"Food first. We need food."
Eman looked at the decoration plans.
"Why are there so many flowers? Who ordered this?"
The mansion was a battlefield.
Not because of enemies.
But because Section E had taken over, and the wedding preparations were still trying to survive.
The boys were scattered everywhere—some sitting on the floor, some lying on couches, some messing with the decorations like it was their personal playground.
Keifer was in the middle of it all, trying to control the chaos like a calm storm.
It wasn't working.
Cin walked in holding his phone.
He looked around at the chaos, then smirked.
"Guys," he said calmly, "I think it's time."
"Time for what?" asked Rory, already bored.
Cin held up his phone.
"It's time we call our mutya."
The boys went silent.
Then a chorus of cheers erupted.
"YES!"
"CALL HER NOW!"
"WE MISS HER!"
Keifer froze.
He knew this.
He didn't want it.
But he couldn't stop it.
Cin dialed.
The phone rang.
And then—
Jay picked up.
"Hello?"
The entire mansion went quiet, like someone had turned off the noise.
Keifer felt his heart tighten.
Cin raised his phone, holding it up like a trophy.
Mutya," he said loudly, "we're calling you from the mansion."
Jay's voice sounded soft but surprised.
"Section E…?"
David shouted from behind the camera.
"HEY MUTYA! WE'RE ALIVE!"
Rory waved at the phone.
"COME HERE! WE MISSED YOU!"
Jay giggled.
"I miss you guys too…"
Mayo's voice turned serious.
"Jay, are you okay?"
Jay's voice grew quiet.
"I'm fine. I just… I wish I could be there."
Keifer stood a few feet away, listening to the conversation. His face was unreadable, but his eyes were fixed on Cin's phone.
Cin smiled.
"You know, we're not having fun without you."
Jay sighed.
"I know. I really want to be there, but I can't until the wedding."
A pause.
Then a boy spoke up.
"Jay," Blaster said, "you know Keifer is acting like a big baby without you."
Jay froze.
"He is?"
David laughed.
"Of course he is. He's all serious and quiet. It's weird."
Keifer's jaw tightened.
Rory leaned forward, grinning.
"We always knew you'd fall for him."
Jay's voice became sharper.
"Don't say that!"
Felix chuckled.
"Why? It's true."
Jay's breathing became heavy.
"You guys are impossible."
Denzel groaned "And we already knew from the start."
Jay went quiet again.
Then she sighed, smiling softly.
"I miss the chaos."
Mayo laughed.
"You'll get it soon. We promise."
Jay's voice turned emotional for a moment.
"I just want to be there with you all. I feel like I'm missing out on everything."
Cin looked at Keifer, then back at the phone.
"Jay," he said, "you're not missing anything. You're just… delayed."
Jay blinked.
"Delayed?"
Cin smiled.
"Like a special event. Like a wedding."
Jay laughed softly.
"You're weird."
David added,
"But we love you, mutya."
Jay smiled again, a little teary.
"I love you too."
Keifer suddenly stepped forward.
The boys went silent again.
Keifer's voice was low, but clear.
Keifer's voice was low, but clear.
"Jay… I want you here."
Jay's breath hitched.
"Keifer—"
Keifer continued.
"I know you can't come until the wedding. But I want you to know… I'm not letting anything hurt you. I'm keeping everything safe."
Jay swallowed.
"Thank you."
Keifer looked away, not wanting the boys to see him soften.
"Just… come when you can."
Jay's voice turned playful again.
"Don't get soft on me now."
Keifer's lips twitched.
"I'm not soft."
Cin laughed loudly.
"Oh please, we saw the moment you heard her voice."
Rory yelled,
"Keifer, you're blushing!"
Keifer turned red, but didn't respond.
Jay giggled.
Then she said,
"I miss you guys. Tell me everything. Don't leave me out."
Blaster immediately started shouting.
"Okay! Okay! So the mansion is now basically ours. Keifer is suffering. We almost destroyed the cake. We're all living like kings."
Jay laughed.
"Of course you did."
Mayo sighed.
"Jay, be careful. Angelo is still strict."
Jay nodded.
"I know."
Cin smiled.
"Just wait, mutya. The wedding will be worth it."
Jay's voice softened."I'm waiting."
The call ended.
The mansion erupted again—loud and chaotic, but with a strange warmth inside.
Keifer looked at the boys, who were now grinning like they'd won a battle.
Then he looked at the mess around him.
And he sighed.
"Why do I feel like I'm in more trouble now?"
David laughed.
"Because you are
Rory added,
"And because you love it."
Keifer didn't respond.
But the smile he tried to hide said it all.
Rest of the day went with chaos
Edrix tried arranging the flowers.
He somehow mixed the rose petals with… fake leaves shaped like snakes.
The wedding planner screamed,
"WHAT IS THIS?!"
Blaster laughed loudly.
"Maybe it's a theme!"
Keifer walked in, looked at the flowers, and said calmly,
"Remove it."
Edrix nodded seriously.
"Yes sir."
Then he whispered to Rory,
"Now we know what the wedding theme is."
Rory whispered back,
"Death."
Other side
The tailor called for Keifer.
"Mr. Keifer, your suit is ready."
The boys followed.
David leaned in and said,
"Keifer, you should try a brighter color. Like pink."
Keifer stared at him.
"Pink is not a color for men."
Felix smiled.
"Then you're not a man."
Keifer's expression didn't change.
Then Kit said,
"Bro, what if we all wear matching suits? Like a gang?"
Keifer replied,
"You're not wearing matching suits."
Kit shrugged.
"Fine. We'll wear black and pretend we're secret agents."
Keifer: "No."
Next was dance practice
The wedding planner tried to organize dance practice.
The boys gathered.
Keifer stood in the middle, trying to look serious.
Then—
Blaster started dancing like a maniac.
Rory joined, trying to copy him.
David laughed so hard he fell.
Keifer sighed.
"Stop."
Cin calmly said,
"This is impossible."
Mayo nodded.
"Yep. We're doomed."
Keifer looked at them, then whispered,
"I need a drink."
And then next came cake decorating
Someone accidentally pushed the cake cart.
The cake started wobbling.
Eman tried to catch it.
Josh tried to stop it.
Felix yelled,
"IT'S FALLING!"
Keifer ran forward, grabbed the cake, and saved it—
Only for the cake to collapse in his hands.
The wedding planner screamed,
"YOU RUINED IT!"
Keifer looked at the mess, then at the boys.
He sighed.
And the boys laughed.
By evening, the mansion was a mess.
Flowers were everywhere.
Music was blasting.
The staff was exhausted.
The wedding planner was screaming internally.
Keifer sat in the living room, exhausted, and looked at the boys.
"Why are you all still here?" he asked.
David grinned.
"Because you can't get rid of us."
Rory nodded.
"And because we're your family now."
Keifer didn't answer.
But his expression softened just a little.
The mansion was supposed to be quiet at night.
That was the plan.
But Section E didn't do plans.
They did chaos.
The wedding prep team had left for the day, exhausted. The staff had retreated to the back rooms. The mansion was almost empty—except for the people who were not allowed to be calm.
Section E, Aries, and Percy.
They were gathered in the main hall.
A huge speaker sat in the corner, blasting music.
makeshift dance floor was created using chairs and rugs.
Empty snack boxes were scattered everywhere like confetti.
Keifer stood by the stairs, arms crossed, watching them like a king watching his court.
"Why are you all still awake?" he asked.
David shouted over the music,
"Because we're alive!"
Rory laughed loudly.
"And because we're having fun!"
Blaster was already dancing, like he had no concept of gravity.
Edrix filmed everything like it was a documentary.
Cin sat on the sofa, smirking, watching the chaos like it was a movie.
Calix was trying to teach Josh a dance move.
Josh was failing.
Mayo was the only one who looked slightly responsible—though he was clearly losing.
Kit had somehow found a bottle of soda and was using it like a microphone.
Felix was lying on the floor, laughing at nothing.
Eman was trying to organize a group photo but failing.
And then…
Aries walked in with Percy.
Aries looked around, smirking.
"Okay. This is definitely not what I expected."
Percy nodded.
"I didn't think I'd end up in a mansion party with sixteen boys."
Keifer stared at them.
"Don't encourage them."
Aries shrugged.
"We're not encouraging. We're joining."
Percy raised an eyebrow.
"Wait, you're not going to stop them?"
Keifer shook his head.
"No. I'm just watching."
Aries laughed.
"Of course you are."
The party continued.
Blaster ran up to Keifer and shoved a party hat on his head.
Keifer looked at him, dead serious.
Blaster froze.
"Oh… sorry."
Keifer didn't move.
Blaster slowly walked away, whispering,
"Okay. Not him."
David grabbed a bag of confetti and threw it in the air.
The confetti fell like snow.
Keifer looked like he was about to explode.
Rory shouted,
"Keifer! You look like a Christmas tree!"
Keifer's eyes narrowed.
"Stop."
Edrix laughed and said,
"This is going on my channel."
Cin leaned closer to Keifer and whispered,
"You're smiling."
Keifer glared.
"I'm not."
Cin shrugged, satisfied.
The music changed to a faster beat.
Everyone started dancing.
Aries joined in, surprising everyone with his moves.
Percy looked embarrassed, but he danced anyway.
Keifer watched, expression unreadable.
Then—
Mayo shouted,
"Okay! Group photo!"
Everyone stopped and gathered.
Eman tried to take the photo, but the camera kept falling.
Felix yelled,
"Hold still!"
Kit made a pose.
"Look like you're rich!"
Josh tried to look serious.
"Guys, I'm trying."
Calix laughed,
"Just smile."
The photo finally happened.
And then—
Drew yelled,
"Group hug!"
Everyone shoved themselves together.
Keifer got pulled in.
He didn't resist.
Not really.
Upstairs, in the quiet of the study, Keiren and Keigan sat together.
Keiren was reading a book.
Keigan was scrolling on his phone.
The party music was faint, but still audible.
Keigan yawned.
"Are they always like this?"
Keiren sighed.
"Yes."
Keigan blinked slowly.
"I don't get why we didn't join."
Keiren looked at him.
"Because we're old."
Keigan laughed.
"Speak for yourself."
A few minutes later—
Keigan's head nodded.
Then his eyes closed.
Keiren glanced at him, unbothered.
And then he too fell asleep.
The party continued downstairs.
And upstairs, two boys were lost to the world.
Back in the main hall, the party was finally slowing down.
Everyone was exhausted, laughing, and messy.
David sat beside Keifer, breathing heavily.
"So… how do you feel?"
Keifer looked at the chaos around him.
The empty snack boxes.
The scattered confetti.
The laughter.
The warm noise.
He sighed.
I feel like I'm in trouble."
Rory grinned.
"Good. That means we're doing our job."
Keifer looked at them, and for a moment, his expression softened.
Then he said,
"Next time—clean up."
Blaster raised his hand.
"Sure! After we finish the after-party."
Keifer stared at him.
Blaster added quickly,
"Just kidding."
Keifer didn't believe him.
But he didn't stop them either.
Because even though the mansion was a mess…
He could feel the warmth of family.
And the wedding was still coming.
