Jay's POV
Just when I thought the house couldn't get louder, everyone finally started dragging themselves toward rooms.
Calix: "I'm dead. Don't wake me unless the house is on fire."
Mayo: "Same. If I disappear, tell my story."
Felix: "Single, tired, and emotionally exhausted."
I had just dropped onto the couch, thinking peace… finally, when—
CLICK.
The main door opened.
I looked up.
My soul left my body.
Me: "...no way."
Standing there, with her handbag proudly swinging and a smile that screamed chaos, was my grandmother.
Grandma: "Why is everyone looking like they fought a war?"
Everyone (together): "GRANDMA?!"
Before anyone could react, she slipped off her slippers like she owned the place.
Grandma: "You all look tired. I'll make coffee."
The entire house froze.
Then—
Everyone: "NOOOOOOO—"
Angelo: "MA—WAIT—"
Lia: "STOP HER—"
Erdix: "THIS IS A THREAT—"
But she was already halfway to the kitchen.
Grandma: "What? Coffee gives energy!"
I buried my face in my hands.
This house is not insured for this.
Kitchen: The Forbidden Zone
We all stood outside the kitchen like it was a crime scene.
Grace: "Why does this feel dangerous?"
Percy: "Because it is."
Aries: "I still remember last time."
Inside, we heard cupboards opening… spoons clanking… jars moving.
Grandma (shouting): "How many spoons do people usually add?"
Calix: "ONE."
Grandma: "Two?"
Mica: "NO—"
Silence.
Then more clanking.
Me (whispering): "Why is she so quiet?"
Lia: "That's never a good sign."
Suddenly—
BOOOOM.
A loud BANG echoed from the kitchen.
Everyone screamed and ran in.
The Aftermath
Smoke.
Coffee powder everywhere.
The coffee jar… empty.
Grandma stood there, holding a spoon proudly.
Grandma: "Don't worry. I just made it extra strong."
Everyone stared.
Angelo: "Define… extra."
She smiled sweetly.
Grandma: "Nineteen spoons."
Silence.
Then—
Felix: "NINETEEN?"
Mayo: "That's not coffee, that's a weapon."
Eren: "I could see my future flash before my eyes."
I blinked.
Me: "Grandma… why nineteen?"
She shrugged.
Grandma: "Odd numbers feel powerful."
Percy: "This explains everything about our family."
Reactions Everywhere
Lia: "MA, YOU ALMOST BLEW UP MY KITCHEN."
Grandma: "See? Strong coffee."
Erdix: "My heart is already beating faster just looking at it."
Freya: "That cup could keep someone awake for a year."
Baby Grazel Jay giggled, clapping her hands.
Grace: "Even my baby thinks this is chaos."
Grandma poured the coffee calmly.
Grandma: "Who wants some?"
Everyone took three steps back.
Everyone: "NO THANK YOU."
She looked offended.
Grandma: "Ungrateful children."
I sighed, hugging her from the side.
Me: "Grandma… next time, let's try… five spoons."
She patted my head.
Grandma: "Fine. I'll listen. Maybe."
Maybe is not reassuring.
As everyone started laughing, coughing, and opening windows, I looked around the huge house—friends, family, noise, chaos.
This is madness.
This is loud.
This is dangerous…
…and somehow, this is the happiest I've felt in a long time ☕💙
