Day Seven

"Who the hell keeps putting gifts outside my door?!"

Jax's voice echoed into the hallway of the rooms. You let out a squeak when you heard him say that, because, you were the one putting gifts outside his door.

You've had your eye on Jax for a while, and you can't bring yourself to confess. To cope with this, you just anonymously put gifts in front of his door, as well as love letters.

You heard chatter outside, you peek your head out your room door, seeing Ragatha and Pomni with Jax, you let out a squeal internally when you saw Jax was holding your gift.

You decide to approach the group, hearing their chatter, "Oh, Jax! I might have an idea." Ragatha chimed in, putting her hand on her hip. "What is it, licorice hair." Jax turned his gaze to the doll, Ragatha frowned, "Anyway, you might have a secret admirer." Ragatha said, slightly smirking.

You stopped in your tracks, tensing up. 'Busted, Ragatha....." You internally groaned. You sighed, approaching them. "Hey, guys, what's going on?" You asked, pretending not to know.

"Jax has a secret admirer..." Pomni mumbled, glancing at Ragatha and Jax. "Then do you guys have any idea who? I can't keep storing these gifts in my room." Jax chimed in, putting the box down.

"Well, it's a secret admirer for a reason, Jax." You said, softly smiling. 'Hope he doesn't find out too soon.' You thought, "Well, we can work together to find out." Ragatha said, "I wanna find out who your admirer is, Jax." She added, smirking.

Jax rolled his eyes, "Whatever, do what you want, I'm gonna go store this somewhere." He said, before shutting the door, emitting a loud echo. "He's grumpy." You commented, chuckling.

"That's Jax for you, anyway, you guys wanna go to the main area? Kinger and Zooble might be there by now." Ragatha invited you both, "Sure, let's go!" You took Pomni's hand, who was zoning out again. She let out an 'AGH!' in surprise.

"Hey guys!" You exclaimed, greeting the two. Zooble and Kinger turned around. "Oh, hello Y/N. and Ragatha, and Pomni." Kinger said, waving his floating hand.

Zooble looked at the three, "Where's Jax?" She asked, in her usual monotone voice. "Oh, he's in his room." You immediately said. 'I should've not answered that fast...' You internally face-palmed.

Pomni eyed you when you quickly answered Zooble's question, but quickly looked away in order to not draw attention from you. "Oh. Kay. Don't really care." Zooble replied, walking away.

Ragatha coughed into her fist, "So, how about let's talk about something?" She reluctantly said, flashing a nervous smile.

Jax suddenly arrived, huffing. He groaned, "Finally, that's settled." He muttered. He looked at all of you. "What's going on here?" He said, walking towards you all.

Nobody replied. The silence was eating you alive. You finally replied to break the silence. "Uh, nothing. We were about to talk about something.. I guess.." Your voice cracked from nervousness. This time, Ragatha chimed in, "Yup! Y/N's right!" She exclaimed, nudging you in the shoulder.

You mumbled an 'ow', rubbing your shoulder. "Well, then what are you guys talking about?" Jax smirked. "Is this about the secret admirer thing? 'Cause I don't wanna talk about it." He remarked, rolling his eyes.

"It isn't!" You squeaked out the words, putting your hands over your mouth. 'Ugh! Shut up!' You internally scolded yourself. In response, Jax raised an eyebrow, "Hm, okay."

"Anyway, where's Caine?" Ragatha interrupted. "Actually, Caine said it's a rest day for us." Kinger chimed in, approaching you guys. "Then what are we supposed to do?..." Pomni said, fiddling with her fingers.

Ragatha sighed, "Maybe let's just go back to our quarters." She said, deciding for everyone. Everybody nodded in response, walking back to their perspective rooms.

Day Eight

Jax walked out his room, but he stepped on something. He looked down, seeing an envelope. He picked it up, opened it, then read the letter. He thought it was one of his secret admirer's cheesy letters / pick-up lines, but it wasn't. Instead, it was a hint.

I'm much closer to you than you think.

☀🌸☕

- Your secret admirer ♡

'What are the emojis for?' He thought. He pocketed the letter, walking over to the main area. Upon arriving, he got an idea, but he didn't like it.

'Ugh, I can't believe I have to ask Ragatha about this.' He internally groaned, face-palming. He walked over to Ragatha, who was glancing around. She felt someone's presence behind her, as she turned around.

"Oh, hey, Jax. Need something?" She asked, the smile on her face never faltering. "For some reason, yes I do." He nonchalantly said, "Could you... Help me with this? I got it from my admirer." He said, handing the letter he got to Ragatha.

She grabbed it, analyzing the contents of the letter, then began to speak; "This is a hint on what kind of person they are." She said, before handing the letter back to Jax.

"Huh, really." He said, glancing at the letter before pocketing it again. "Well, see ya." He said, boosting away. "Wait! You didn't even bother to say thank you?!" Ragatha yelled from a distance, only to be ignored.

Jax approached Pomni, "Hey, Pomni. How are ya?" He said, behind her. Pomni immediately let out a yell, falling onto the floor. She got up, "Jax! What the &@$# was that for?!" She huffed.

"What? I didn't even do anything." He deadpanned, crossing his arms. 'Well, this admirer of mine is definitely not Pomni.' he thought, "Heh, see ya, scaredy cat." He walked away.

He glanced around, his admirer is definitely not Zooble, or Kinger. Not Ragatha, since she also hates his guts. Then it clicked,

Y/N.

'Ugh, why didn't I think of her. She's always giddy around me. or sometimes nervous.' He thought, before looking around to spot you. He saw you talking with Pomni. The fact that he was with Pomni a few minutes ago, then he had to go back.

He groaned, walking back to Pomni.

"Why do you think Tulips are weird?!" You exclaimed, throwing your hands in the air. Before putting them back down to your sides. "I-I don't know what a Tulip is." She mumbles.

"What?! that's unacceptable! If only I had picture..." You mumbled, sighing. "Hey, shorties." A voice was behind you, you turned around, "Oh, hey Jax! What're you doing here?" You said, flashing him a smile

Before answering, Jax narrowed his eyes at you. "Well, could I speak with you for a moment? Privately." He said. "Oh? Sure." You agree, then you felt his hand grab your wrist. He dragged you away from Pomni, running into the hallway of the rooms.

You were being dragged all the way to... His room. Huh. He dragged you in, then closed the door. After a few seconds, he started to speak, "So, are you or are you not my secret admirer?" He said, getting straight to the point.

You tensed up, "W-what are you talking about? Why would you think that, Jax?" You stuttered, 'Busted!' You thought. "Don't play dumb with me, sweetheart." He narrowed his eyes, leaning close to your face.

Your face erupted a pink colour, making you speak up, "Okay! Okay... You caught me... I am your secret admirer." You mumbled, you gaze on the floor.

"Heh, knew it. It was a bad move to give me a hint, N/n." He said, leaning away. "I must say, I'm impressed, can't believe you lasted for a whole solid week." He smugly said, smirking.

You didn't respond, instead, you just looked at him. "Well, sweetheart, hope you still give me your little gifts. Who knows, I might accept you as my girl." He suddenly said, making you tense up again.

"W-what?! Wait, what did you just say?!" You said, shocked. "You heard me, Y/N." Jax said, leaning in your face again. "Impress me more," He smirked. He leans away, walking out his door.
