Prevent parent's sibling's event from triggering in javascript

<input id="test" type="text" list="list">
<datalist id="list">
    <option value="A">First option</option>
    <option value="B">Second option</option>
</datalist>

$("input").keyup(function(event) {
    //any event like this for example...
    console.log(event.target.value);
});

I don't want this event to trigger after the user clicked on an option. Already tried the followings even though it was unlikely to work (javascript) :

$("option").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();
});

Also why does the event trigger since I used a keyup event and not an input ? ...

Do with Keypress.

UPDATED

you need to call the value from the event inside not a onload 

$("input").keypress(function(event) {
  //any event like this for example...
  console.log("Hello from the other side");
});

$('#test').change(function(){ // you need to call the value from the event inside not a onload
console.log(document.getElementById("test").value) //no need
console.log($(this).val()) // jquery alredy present so simple use that
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="test" type="text" list="list">
<datalist id="list">
    <option value="A">First option</option>
    <option value="B">Second option</option>
</datalist>
