Ace's P.O.V
“Kian,you're going out of line!How can you do that in front of our guests!”Dad burst out in anger.
“Well Dad, it is nothing 'ya know?As if it’s a big deal for someone as high and mighty as you.” I said while smirking.
"You just got out of bed but all you know is how to make trouble first thing in the morning! Don't you know who he is?He's your uncle,uncle!You hear that brat? And yet,you dared to talk back against him?!"Dad scolded me.
Yeah,yeah.I just got out of my bed and here he is, scolding me after dragging me inside my room.
"Ugghh!Dad,stop yelling,you're talking to someone with clear and good hearing!And besides,he's my uncle so he can let this one slide,right?"I defended.
"With good hearing but having an empty brain.Anyway,I'll call him.You embarrassed him in front of everyone,you need to apologize!"Dad said.
"No way!You call him and apologize by yourself,don't drag me in,Dad.I'm really annoyed by those words that he said to me,I'm not in a mood!"I refused.
”Kian,you,"He sighed.
"How hardheaded you are!”Dad slammed the door as he walked out.
”Haaa…Why am I always getting a lecture from Dad as a morning greeting?It's their fault for being so annoying first thing in the morning!”I sighed as I shook my head.
After being scolded I could never bow down and repent.
“As if! What’s the point of having a lot of money? Life is about having fun!”I smirked.
Sometimes, I also get tired of it, but what’s the point of feeling so disappointed about it?
I jumped on the bed and was pulled by drowsiness and fell asleep again.
Here it is again, the same dream.
“Kian, I heard that you attended the birthday party for the one and only Princess of France last Saturday, did you get a chance to meet the Royal family?“Asked by Kid whom I used to play with.
“Of course not!Not only did I get the chance to meet them but I also danced with the princess!" I answered in a loud and proud tone.
“So? How was it Kian?Tell us!``asked another kid.
“I’m sure it felt normal like how you felt when dancing with the other girl,am I right?”Said by another kid who is always mocking me.
Actually I don’t know anything about them, I’m just coming here to show off, but this kid is always getting in my way! I always hated that kid, it seems that he doesn't want to see me happy.
”Hey! Why do you always kill the joy,e?!”Yeah,I always hated him. Always.
I woke up when the sunlight kissed my face and made me uncomfortable. It’s too hot for me to tolerate
I didn’t even realize the time. I got out of bed and washed my face. I heard my Dad and his old butler talking loudly, seriously, ”Arrgghh!why is it so noisy!”I opened the door of my room, we have money but my room is not even sound proof! I walked down the stairs and caught my father’s attention. He just stared at me for a minute and left without saying anything. Well, he was still angry.
“Young master, may I ask where are you going? “Said our Butler.
“Where else? Maybe out to have fun?!"I said in a mocking tone.
“Young Master, Your father said, he’ll have an important guest and needs you to entertain them for a while. "He said quickly.
"Oh? Please, can you tell me who am I ?”I asked.
“Young master, you are our young Master.”He said honestly.
I scoffed.
“Exactly! I am the young master of this house and not some kind of entertainer. I will leave now,see you then!” I wave as I leave him speechless.
” Now,time to continue the fun!” I went outside and made another trouble that I’m sure,ninety nine percent,my parents will scold me for again. But, whatever, I feel so bored at home, I feel like I’m a prisoner! Nothing will beat this scenery from outside.It feels like a wide world that is waiting to be discovered.
“What,what did you say? What did Kian just do?!”The woman was shocked from what she heard.
”Madam, we’ve tried our best to stop him but.”The maid tried to explain but the woman interrupted her.
”Enough with the excuses! Call Mr.Baek. We need to fix this as soon as possible!”
”Yes, Madam. ”The maid quickly obeyed her command.
"Madam, the Young Master is here.”Said our maid,informing my mother.
”Let him in!"Mother answered In a furious tone.
”Yes Ma’am.”The maid answered.
”Mother, I was just out for a moment but already thinking of you. Maybe it’s because the blood that’s running through my veins came from you and Dad!"I said in a praising voice,meant for me to be cute in front of my Mother.
”You brat!"I saw Mom clenching his fist.
"Stop with that damned act!You dare to speak regarding that darn blood of yours?!”She furiously shouted at me.
After she said that, she let out a deep breath and sitted down.
”Haaa. Seriously?where did you get that manners and attitude of yours?I bet you dad wasn’t like that back then.”She added.
“Don’t know mom,we're not sure if,”
”I said it because I’m sure!!''I didn’t even get a chance to finish what I’m about to say because Mom interrupted me.
”Then I got it all from you Mom?!”I said quickly,trying to turn the table around.
”Well,back then I’m, wait a minute. You brat! You're always turning the situation around!"She yelled with her finger pointed at me.
"Haaa."Mom sighed.
" Nevermind, your Dad invited his old friend and he’ll bring his son.I hope you’ll get along well with him. ”Mom said.
”But, Mom!” Mom winked at me before closing the door.
”Oh nice! This is what I get for enjoying so much." I rubbed my hair into a mess.
"Huh!They can just invite someone and dine in a restaurant. Why should I also need to pay respect to their business partners?"I complained.
After that, I entered the bathroom and washed myself up.
While inside of the bathroom,I heard someone knocking on my door.
”Young Master! Master and Madam expected guest’s are all here.”Said by our Butler.
”Tell them to wait for a moment,I’ll be done in a minute!”I said.
”Yes, Young Master!”He said,then left after.
Not so long after our Butler left, I was also finally done fixing myself up and ready to go downstairs.I asked the maids where the guests are.
"Young Master."Said the maid.
I stroked my clothes to remove its fold.
"Where's Mom and Dad?"I asked.
"They're having a conversation with the guests in the living room, Young Master."She answered politely.
"Okay, thanks!"I said while walking away to the living room.
After I got there,I knocked at the door three times.
“Mom?Dad?May I-”I heard the thing that they were talking about, which made me unable to continue what I’m about to say.
”Mr.cha , your son,Kian seems to be out of his mind these days,”I heard the visitor say.
"This is my son Giou ken, he's an athlete and won countless Olympic competition.How about giving him an opportunity in your company by giving him the Cha sports company?In exchange I’ll give you that area under my name that you're planning to build one of your company branches on! ”He proudly said.
My eyes widened.
What did he just say? The Cha sports company?!That belongs to my Brother,and he entrusted me with it!
I stood still outside the door and waited for Dad's answer.
Will Dad be able to turn the offer down?But with that rare exchange for it, there’s no way a business man like dad will be able to refuse it.
”Oh? How generous of you!”Dad replied.
I knew it! Dad won’t,But that’s one of the most important things for my Brother!
"I know you'd be happy about it,Mr.Cha."The visitor said.
"But-"I didn't wait for Dad to finish his words,and barged in without permission.
“Hmmmm!What did you just say ?”I said.
I almost laughed when I saw Mom and Dad's visitor.
"Wow!I almost didn't get to see your body because your face is big and wide enough to cover my whole eyesight,Mr.Fatty!"I mocked him.
”Kian! What did you just call our visitor with?!”Mom asked.
”Mister,Fatty?”I said innocently.
”Kian!"He greeted me.
I just ignored him and looked at Dad.
"I remember the last time I saw you,you were just a small little kid”He said while still putting up his act with a fake smile.
Those words that I just said aren't enough yet for him?!Now, you're really challenging my patience.
”Now that you mentioned it,I remembered you back then,you were kind and not that big!"I said while pointing my finger at his round and fat body.
"But now,you look so round like an egg.Pfffft!Actually,you looked like a round egg on a curly pasta that I’ve been craving since this morning.And now that I see you,I feel very pleased!”I said, clapping my hands.
”You!What did you just say?!”The visitor said furiously.
I really am a genius.I made the tiger throw his mask away!
”Mr.Cha, your son is really going out of the line!I came here expecting the Cha family to treat us nicely!” He said out loud.
"Dad!"His son said while trying to stop his father from starting a scene.
But both of them are just for a show, I see through those acts of his son.Both faked.They really are father and son.
”Oh?! Didn’t you just say earlier that I seemed to be out of my mind?!"I sat near Mom and rested my back with my sight on the ceiling.
"Did you expect to be treated nicely by a person who’s out of his mind?"I said as I gave my sight back to both father and son.
"Then I’ll treat you nicely!” I said as I got the pie from the plate in front of us,and looked at them with a devilish smile.
”Both of you expected to be treated nicely by me,Huh?I couldn’t possibly disappoint the two of you.”I threw the pie that I was holding to their faces.
"Kian!"Shouted by Dad, who was shocked by what I did,while Mom's still calmly drinking her tea.
"You!"Mr. Giou uttered.
I walked closer to them.
”You.Are.Very.Welcome. If you, by any chance, wanted to be treated nicely again, feel free to come!bye!”I said deviously.
I stood up, turned my back and about to leave,when he started to talk again.
”You did that but my offer isn't close yet, and still available.What do you say Mr.Cha?You are the one to decide after all!”He said as they both cleaned their faces.
”Tsk!Still not satisfied with that?!You are an idiot for coming here!”I said with my back still turned at them and my face at the door.
Mom put down the cup with tea that she's been drinking.
”I think you're missing out on some important things, why me and my husband invited you to Mr.Giou.We'd love to give your son an opportunity based on his past achievement’s,he’s qualified for something. That area that you're talking about?We don’t care about it! We've found out that there's a lot of garbage and waste buried under that whole area,so we decided to do relocation! Regarding the Cha sports company,it’s for both of my sons to decide for.”I was surprised when Mom said that.
I turned around and saw both of them smiling.
”What the!Mom,you should’ve said earlier!”My face flushed for being embarrassed.
I really thought they were going to take and exchange the company for that area.
”That’s because you didn’t let your Dad finish the things that he’s going to say! Right honey?"She said, then looked at Dad.
”Your Mom is right.We both know how your Brother worked hard to build it.And how important it was for you."Dad smiled warmly.
"I've been bowing down to everyone when my son caused trouble for them but, I gotta say that I’m proud of him on this one.”Dad said while looking at Mr. Giou,still clenching his fist because of anger.
"I need to apologize for what my Son did.Im sorry!"Dad apologized.
"What about my offer?"The visitor said.
Wow,he sure is persistent!I looked at Dad and waited for his answer.
"Regarding your offer,I'm sorry but,I must turn it down!"Dad answered.
There was an awkward atmosphere for a while but they also managed to break it and started to talk about something else.
"If there's nothing else important to talk about,I'll excuse myself then!"I said and then left the room.
I can't manage to watch them continue their conversation as if nothing happened.I can't change my face and wear a mask to be able to coincide with them.
I saw Mom and Dad bid farewell to the guests.I decided to not join them.Well,I’m not a woman so no need to follow etiquette so much.I entered and relaxed in my own room.
“Where’s Kian?”Kian's Mom asked the Butler.
”The young master headed back to his own room before the guests left, Master.”The Butler answered politely.
“Dear, your son is a lot like you!”Kian's Dad jokes.
”You think so too?Haaaa. Maybe you're right.When will Reiga be back?!I bet Kian misses his brother so much.''Kian's Mom said,then she sat down on the couch.
”I told him to come and take a long vacation, because he said he wanted to play fencing with Kian again.”Kian's Dad replied, smiling.
”Huh!As expected from an overprotective Brother of kian.He only misses his naughty Little Brother,and forgot about his parents.Did he already learned how to cook?It’s one of those things that he promised to Kian before he left.”Kian's Mom asked while enjoying her tea.
”I hope so too or he’ll be knocked out by Kian again.Well,maybe Kian doesn't remember anymore about Reiga's promise."Kian's Dad chuckled.
"Hahaha!!You still remember? Although Kian can’t fight against his older Brother,he’ll make sure to give him a hell of a game when playing sports!"She said,can't help but to laugh smoothly.
On the other hand,while Kian's Brother was having a walk outside of the company overseas,he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
"Achoo!!"Kian's Brother can't help sneezing.
"Vice-president are you okay? The weather seems odd these days, please take care and be careful not to catch a cold."His assistant reminded him.
"I'm alright,maybe it's just because of the sudden change of the weather!"He said ,agreeing.
While inside of their mansion their parents continue on having their small conversation.
"I hope he'll also take good care of himself,"Their mother said to their father.
"Don't worry,I'm sure Kian will discipline his Brother when he comes back here!"Kian's Dad said, assuring her.
”We really love seeing our naughty children together, aren't we?Haaa,I just hope Kian stops causing trouble!”Their Mom worriedly said.
While in Kian's room,he's still furious about the scene earlier.
“Those bullshit punks,huh! What?!Want us to give them one of the important things for us? Those idiots thinked so high and mighty of themselves.I remember that Giou Ken tried to approach me at school almost everyday last year!"I said while thinking about it.
Kian's highschool days came back to him.
"Hey,Kian!"Giou Ken startled me.
"What do you want?!"I said annoyed.
"Look!Isn't that Giou Ken from the class-A?What is he doing in the special class?!"I heard my classmates gossiping.
"I remember,he's been following Kian since he transferred, right?!"Said another.
"Even though he already knew that Kian is annoyed when he's around,he still continued to pester him!How shameless!!"They continued.
Kian can't help but to feel upset about everything.
"Back then,he never cared about what others might say. As expected,people look for someone to get a gem and not a friend.They’ll come to you once they think that you can be used for something. I never thought that the world I used to live in was fake and far from reality.
I felt a little sleepy, soI walked and plopped myself down to bed.
Unknowingly I fell asleep.
When you get to interact with someone,it creates a gold string that connects your paths.No matter how far you go, distance could never cut it out,it's your fate,connected with theirs.Thats why no matter how far they both are from each other they're still connected by the bonds they've shared.
Up to now,even in his dreams….
“Aaaaaaahhhh!Help!”Kian screamed as loud as he could but no one was coming.
"Huff,huff, Kian!What happened, are you okay?!”Ace asked at the moment he got near Kian,after hearing him screaming for help.
” Killjoy,a snake behind you!"Kian said with his trembling finger pointed at Ace's back.
Ace saw it and caught it on its neck.
"It's okay, don’t be scared!"He assured him.
"Hiss!"Kian saw the expression of pain in Ace's face but still tried to look tough when the snake bit his hand.
"Killjoy,”Kian said and tears started to form in his eyes.
”It's okay, don’t cry.”Ace tightened his grip on its neck and threw it after a while.
“Killjoy, I need to bring you to the clinic.Lets go!”Kian dragged him to the clinic.
After they got inside the room he refused to get a shot and not listening to the doctor,luckily Kian convinced him.
”Why did you call me 'Killjoy' a little while ago?”Ace asked.
”It's because you're always against fun,”Kian answered.
Then Kian sitted on the chair next to Ace inside the clinic.
”Are you afraid of snakes?”Ace asked while touching his injured arm.
”Of course, they’re poisonous!”Kian answered while peeling off the fruit that he's holding.
”Then I’ll follow you from now on, so don't go far away from me, I'll protect you!”Ace said with a smile on his face.
Even though Ace saved Kian,he thought that there’s no way that Ace meant it,why would he protect him?He’s always going against him.Kian didn't know how to react,so he just smiled and didn’t answer him.Kian knew he was just joking,he thought he was just joking.
“Where’s mom and dad?”I asked as I walked out of my room.
”Young Master,Master and Madam said that they'll be out for work.And also said to remind you to eat breakfast,"Old Butler answered.
I go downstairs to the kitchen.
”Haaa,then, please bring the food in.”I said as I walked to the table.
Even though they care for me,this kind of thing cannot be avoided, their life isn’t all about me after all.The whole company, and it’s employees,have a lot of responsibilities on their shoulder.I can just make some troubles and catch their attention for a while but,
A down expression was on my face after thinking about it,but faded and changed into an excited one after a while.
Well,it is still a good thing for me not to be here.
”Haa,I’ll get another chance to mess around this whole day!!”I said with my hands stretched.
”And also,Young Master, your Father ordered us to bring you to the company,even if it causes our lives!It's Master's order for us to bring you inside the company no matter what it takes."Old Butler said.
I was shocked that I almost spit the water in my mouth out because of what he said.
"Eh? Gramps aren't you exaggerating?!"I said as I wiped my mouth.
What the heck?!Even if it causes their lives,no matter what it takes?!
Wow,Does this really have to come to this?!
Now this is getting more and more serious,Darn it!
What is this all about this time,Dad?!
At Kian's Dad Office,the temperature suddenly dropped.
“Achooo!!”Kian's Dad sneezed suddenly.
“Honey,are you alright?!”Kian's Mom asked, worriedly.
“Mr.cha ,you should take care of your health,considered it as a part of being the president of the whole company”His secretary reminded him
“As If you’re the one to talk,Mr.secretary.”Kian's Mom said, kidding.
“Haaa,this is nothing I'm sure someone’s cursing me in his mind.”Kian's Dad said while he put his two hands to support his cheek.
“Huh?"Both Kian's Mom and his secretary barely said, confused.
At the Company,Kian was really annoyed to the max.
What the heck my life really is!
Even though I don’t like being here, I still came.
“What do you think about the idea,Mr.kian?”I heard mister,who is he again?
****!I don’t give a freaking damn of whoever he is,all I know is I don't like being here!I was just forced to come!
Damn it!How did it come to this?!
I remember earlier,
”Young Master,I’ve been serving your whole family since the current Master took over your Grandpa’s company,I can’t afford to lose this job. So please!!Please, Young Master, even though I am not in any position to make any request, considering the past times that I served your whole family,I beg you from the bottom of my heart!!”Old Butler begged with tears.
"Ehh?”I sighed.
I put my hand on my forehead because I can't believe what's happening.
Dad, you really know how to make people do everything as you wish they would.What a difficult situation.
”Please,stand up now Gramps. Even Though I’m a hardheaded one, I cherish important memories and people. I cannot afford to lose you either!”I said with both hands in my pocket and eyes looking outside of the window.
”Young Master,"He said.
"Don’t worry,it’s all my fault why Dad threatened you with your position in this family,but I’m sure he values someone like you.He doesn't mean it.”I said while giving my eyesight back at him.
But what could be that he wanted me to go to the Company so much?
So I decided to go and have a look.
I went inside my room,to my closet.
"Now,what should I wear? Maybe a hoodie jacket would be fine."I said to myself as I tried it on.
After I finished in my room I got my car keys and went downstairs.
"Young Master,May I ask where are you going?"Old Butler greeted me with a question.
"Where else?To the company of course!"I answered.
"Uhmm,I'm not judging your style, Young Master,but,you are going to the company and not in a bar or something. You should at least be presentable."He said politely, then gave a sign to the maid.
"Young Master."Said the maid as she gave me a new pressed suit.
"You should wear this instead,Young Master."Said the old Butler.
Since he's just worrying for my sake,I did what he told me.
I hopped on the car seat and put my seatbelt on.After I arrived,the guard escorted me to the venue,where all of Dad's business partners gathered to talk about the new branch of the company,the kind of thing that I hated the most,meeting.
And now,I'm trapped in here!
If I had known earlier ,I wouldn't give it a second thought to be here!
”Kian?”I heard one of my dad’s business partners say.
”Mr. Kian Cha?!”He repeated.
”Yes,yes.I’m here! "I slap myself back to the current situation.
"Now,where are we?!"I asked.
"Huh?Are you okay Kian?!"One worriedly asked.
"Uh?Yes of course,I'm fine!"I assured them.
Then, all of them focused on the meeting.
Dad I’d better have a talk with you after here.
”The only problem right now is the site where we're going to construct the new building of this branch.''The Mister continued.
”Hmm-rmm!!"I cleared my throat and all of them looked at me.
”So,you're saying that we're all sitting down here while the real problem is lying down out there?Are you all really using your minds!Do you expect the solution to come knocking on your doors?!”I lectured.
Of course I’ll always find a way to end things,no need to bother looking for answers for them.
”What are you all waiting for?Christmas?”I added.
”Of course ,Mr.cha,we’ll find a solution for this right."He said.
" Now then, let's end our meeting here!”I said.
They fixed their things up and walked out of the place.
"Haaaa,problem solved.”I said.
"Wow!So this is what it feels like to be seated at Dad's seat."I said as I laid my back on the chair for a moment.
"But,being the owner is very tiring,no matter how comfortable his seat is."I said while looking at the ceiling.
I got my coat from the chair,then left a few minutes later.
The suit and tie made me uncomfortable so I removed it and threw it in the trashcan after I got out.
”How did Dad manage to wear that thing?I feel out of breath after I wore it for just a couple of hours.”I complained.
As I walked out,I noticed that all of the girls in the company were staring at me.I also heard them gossiping about something, but not sure of what it was about.
”Whatever,just leave it at that.”I walked to the front desk and got the keys of my car,and then to my car. I drove full speed home.
I'm finally back at the mansion,after an hour but it feels like forever for me!
“Has Mom and Dad finally come back?!”I asked.
”Not yet, Young Master."Old Butler answered.
I sighed, before taking steps to the direction going to my room.
”Young Master,I owe you this one. I'll repay your kindness someday!”He said after bowing down.
I stopped.
”No need,I owe you,and not you owe me.I just helped myself this time.Sorry,I always created troubles for you Gramps!”I answered him.
I entered my room, plopped down myself to the bed,and checked my phone.
After a little while, the maid knocked on my door and told me that dinner was served,and that Mom and Dad were already downstairs waiting for me.I changed the clothes that I’m wearing then went downstairs after a while.
I saw them both waiting for me to arrive along with many vacant and beautiful chairs.
I sat near mom and got the fork and knife.
”Kian,I have something to tell you.”Dad said at the very moment I took a seat.
”Oh,You want to apologize for threatening me using an old Butler? Or you want me to apologize for being rude towards your business partners? Make it quick Dad.”I said in an irritated tone.
”Oh?I threatened you using the Old Butler?”He asked with a confused face.
Huh,Why is he confused now? Wasn't he who ordered old Butler to bring me to the company no matter what?!
I am totally confused at the whole situation as to how Dad was.
I looked at old Butler and saw him smiling awkwardly and seemed uneasy.
Eh?!
"Y-young Master, actually it is not true that your Dad warned me that he'll do such a thing.Im sorry Young Master!"He apologized.
He kneeled down right in front of me.
"I heard that Madam and Master are having a problem for they are short of time because of a busy schedule,so I dared to lie to you to be able to at least lessen their problems.But I know what I did was out of the line.Despite your kindness and how you showed me how you care for me in this family.Actually,at the moment right after you've left,I'm being bothered by my conscience seeing the effort you've done.Im wrong, please punish me!"He confessed.
"Ehh?"Now it's clear….
"Puff!"I laughed after hearing what he had said.
I can't believe that there's someone who can play tricks on me without even being suspicious!
"The hell Gramps,you've ruined my reputation of being the number one prankster in this house!"I put my arms around his neck.
"I didn't even see through your actions!"I said as I wiped my tears laughing so hard.
"Don't mind it,I don't mind it at all!"I said as I helped him up.
"Thank you Young Master!"He said.
I looked at Mom and Dad.
"Then, I won't bother your dinner anymore."He bowed, then left after.
I sitted back in my chair.
"Looks like someone is much better than you son."Mom teased me.
"I didn't see that coming."I said calmly.
"So,back to you Dad,what is the thing that you're going to say again?"I asked.
I looked at him while he still couldn't get over and laughed about the fact that Gramps tricked me.
"Hmm?"I just looked at him and waited for him to say something.
“Hm-rmm!"He cleared his throat.
"Oh, right.Then, let me tell you that Me and your Mom are going on a business trip,and it won’t take just a week but a month.”Dad informed me.
My eyes widened,and I was dazed for a moment.
“Don’t worry Kian, we'll find a way to make it short and go back home as soon as possible.”Mom said in a sad tone.
”No worries Mom,take your time.You and Dad can enjoy your trip.Don't worry about me!''I insisted.
Two months?I feel like my ears and heart are jumping out of excitement!
”Then, if you don’t have anything to say, let's continue eating,shall we?”I suggested.
I got a slice of beef.
”Wow!Who is our new cook?!I’ve never tasted such a delicious dish before!”I praised.
“Kian,you seemed in a good mood,you even bothered to get to know our kitchen Chef?!”Dad said while smiling.
”Huh,You don’t know me so well Dad.I’m always like this!”I said, pointing my thumb at myself.
Actually a lie! I am not always like this,but with such great news,there’s no way I could hide my excitement!
After we finished our dinner,I hurriedly ran to my room and jumped and laughed all I wanted without holding my excitement back.
”Wow,Is it my birthday?! What a priceless present I received.No Mom and Dad to control and keep a close eye on what I’m doing!”I said aloud,and excited.
“Our son must be very sad right now after hearing us leaving.See?I even hear him shouting inside his room."Kian's Dad said, sighing.
“Honey,you must be dreaming.”Kian's mother cut him out.
“Then let me dream free a little bit longer.He even told me that I don't know him so well?What a funny little thing my son is.”His Dad said while nodding his head.
“Puff!He doesn't know that the more dangerous storm is coming back to his way after we leave. Reiga’s flight is at 2:30 pm right?''Kian's Mom said,while looking at the wall clock.
“Yeah!I bet Kian will be surprised! It’s a pity that we can’t fetch him from the airport."Kian's Dad said, regretful.
“I wonder how Kian will react.Haaa…Sad to say that we are not here to see that moment."Kian's Mom said, frowning.
On The Next Day…….
Finally the morning came,the most awaiting time of my life.I went downstairs to see if Mom and Dad already left.
”......Master.”I heard our Butler talking to someone at phone
”Gramps,Whom are you talking to?”I asked him suspiciously.
He hung the call up and greeted me.
”Good morning,Young Master.Im talking to a long time friend of mine.I hope I didn't disturb your sleep."He answered.
"Do you by any chance need something, Young Master?"He asked.
"Has Mom and Dad already gone for their business trip?”I asked him.
“Yes,they left early in the morning,”He answered.
I turned my back and walked to the window.
”Is the breakfast ready?”I asked with my eyes looking outside.
”Yes,do you want me to inform the maids to serve it on the table?”He answered.
“No.I don’t feel like having breakfast today.Tell them that you all can have your breakfasts.”I instructed him.
I want to go outside today.
As I walked in the hallway to the main door,I saw all the maids gathered.
“What the heck!I’m just going out to have some fun,no need for you all to see me out!”I said smiling,while waving at them.
“Can you at least tell your Big Brother where are you going ?!'' I heard a familiar voice said.I looked straight at the person talking.
”Bro-ther?!”I saw Brother standing while carrying his luggage.
”Did you miss me?!”He said while smiling at me.
Oh, God,please tell me that I’m just seeing things!
The Next day…..
"Good no one's around."I said while looking for a chance to sneak out.
"Where do you think you're going, Little Brother?!"I turned my back and saw Brother smiling at me.
"Come on,I cooked something for you.Let's go!"Without waiting for my answer,he just dragged me to the kitchen.
"Woah!Hey,don't carry me like a sack of rice!"I complained.
"Oh,Do you want to be carried like a princess?"He asked with a devilish smile.
"Eh?"
Not the best day at all!
Mom,Dad, please come back as soon as possible!
“Kruu!Kruu!”
Nature greeted me the moment I opened my eyes,first thing in the morning.
Well, this is nice…I thought brother scary and annoying words are the first ones I’m going to hear.Thinking about it,give me a chill all over my body!
”Haaa,Is this my punishment for always messing around?”I asked to myself.
The day is just about to begin but I'm already tired.
“Kian, Are you awake?”I heard Brother's voice asking.
Speaking of the devil,he sure has a lot of spare time for keeping his eye on me.
Though I’m not sure if Mom and Dad told him to do so,I'm sure they knew about Reiga coming back.
“What? Pretending to be asleep,dear Brother?”He added.
Damn it,I really hope that I never get a chance to wake up again.
I feel like I’m not living anymore!
Poor me,
”Alright,I’m coming out!”I said.
"Even though I don’t really want to see your face!"I feel like I'm about to say that.
“Ha! It's a good thing you decided to get out all by yourself,I’m about to go in and drag you out!”Brother said with a smile on his face.
Why is he so happy?Is torturing me really that satisfying for him?
”Ha!You look creepy when you smile so,cut it out Brother!”I said to mock him.
”Y-youu,what did you just say?!”Brotter uttered, and reacted the way I expected him.
Eversince kid,he hated it when someone’s saying that he looks creepy with a smile.
”Tsk!Hurry up and go downstairs,the food is getting cold!”He said, annoyed,then left after.
I went to the bathroom and soaked in a bath.
After I finished,I went downstairs and saw my brother waiting and not touching his food.
”What the heck Brother!You could’ve just eaten first and stopped wasting your time.”I said out of annoyance.
He makes me feel guilty for enjoying myself in the bath,while he’s been waiting for me to arrive!
“Why? You feel guilty don’t you?”He said with a smile on his face.
”As if!”I denied.
We started eating without minding each other.After I finished eating I stood up and went to my room.
I stood behind the door of my room and waited for my brother to leave.
”Gramps, I hope you’d look after my little Brother.”I heard my Brother talking to old Butler.
The hell!
What does he think of me?
A little kid that needs to be looked after?!
Great Brother,Damn it!You're really taking your responsibilities of being my brother to heart.I heard his footsteps walking towards my room, so I hurriedly jumped on bed.
He knocked on my door and informed me of his leaving.
“Kian?I’m going to the company,I’ll see you after work.”I just listened at him and didn’t say a word.
A silence occurred for us for a while.
“Bang!”
I startled after Brother kicked the door.
“You brat,say goodbye so I can know if you're still alive!!”He shouted.
The heck!
Don't he know that I'm already pissed off because of his damn presence?!
”Damn you Brother!”I walked out of my room and confronted him.
“If you're going to leave,then leave.Are you planning to knock my door down?!”I shouted back at him.
“You!"Brother expression darkened.
"Dear little brother,did you just curse your Big Brother?!”He said with an annoyed smile on his face.
Oh crap!I’ve lost it.
”N-no,no!"I denied.
Dear Brother,how dare I?!”I said as I bow down on my knees, trying to get back what I've said.
”Oh? Did I just misheard it?”He asked himself, confused.
H-he really bought it?!
I stood up and looked at him. His assistant walks in and informs him that they’re going to be late.
”Well then,I have to go.No need to see me off!”Brother turned his back and waved his hand at me.
“Haa,Finally able to get rid of him.Now it’s time to go out and have fun!”I sneaked out of my room and noticed that there’s no one at the main door, so I hurriedly went out.
”Why is my life so hard?I just wanted to meet my friends!”I complained.
But fortunately I already managed to escape from their eyes.
”Hmmm,I’m finally able to get out of the house.Nice!”I said with my hand stretched.
“So,Kian! Why are you out here?I told you no need to see me out!”I heard a familiar voice say.
I turned around and saw my brother smirking while looking at me.
”W-wooaahh!B-brother?!''I was shocked and didn't manage to say my words properly.
I noticed that my shirt and hair have some stranded leaves on it.How careless I am,and now I’m caught red-handed.
I fixed myself up,and since it’s already here and there’s no way that I could deny things,maybe admitting it might work.
”Fine.I sneaked out,I admit!But I failed anyway, so I don’t deserve a punishment.Im going back!”I turned my back and left, without even bothering to look back and tried to act cool outside.
But the inside of me is praying hard.
"Oh God! Please touch the heart of my Brother and tell him not to stop me!He's scary!"I'm crying while praying and begging that brother won’t stop me.
While on Kian's brother's side...
“Hmmm? My Little Brother has grown up and already knows how to turn his back on his Brother!”Kian's brother said, smirking.
“Vice president, I'm sure your brother just wanted to go out so much.Please don’t take it to heart.”His bodyguard tried to comfort him.
“Haa, I’m so proud of him!"Kian's brother said and turned his back and got inside the car.
His bodyguard was confused for a moment there.
Wai-what?I thought the Vice President was angry.What a weird family they have.
“Let’s go now!”Kians brother said to his dazed out bodyguard.
“Yes,sir!”He hurriedly got in.
At The Mansion…...
What bad luck,I got caught!
But tomorrow will be another day,I’m not going to give it up that easily!
Despite the real situation I decided not to give up,I want my Brother to realize that I’m not a kid and have my own free will!
On the next day,as usual, Brother knocked on my door to wake me up.
I took a bath and went downstairs to have breakfast. We didn’t talk about yesterday.Well,he didn’t bring it up in the conversation and decided to not talk about it, whatever he wanted!
After we ate,I went to the garden and observed the places where there were some guards positioned.And then went back to my room.
After Brother went outside,for he had something important to deal with,I looked for a chance to at least be able to go and take a look at things that are happening outside.
”I feel like I’m a prisoner with my situation right now” I, again sneaked out,but this time I’m more careful than before.
"Oh,crap!I almost got caught."I said as I tried my best to get away as far as possible.
I managed to avoid being caught by guards.
I continued to walk silently until I reached far enough from home.
“Phew!This time I really am lucky.”I said after I managed to get away.
No,not lucky at all.
When I called mom and dad and told them everything that happened,they went to my Brother's side!
Kian And His Mom's Conversation…...
“Really Kian?! Your brother did that?!”Mom said in a loud tone after she heard how my Brother reprimanded me.
“Yes, absolutely Mom.But no worries I still can handle things!''I said in a pitiful way,hoping that Mom would get and scold Brother for what he’s been doing.
“As expected from my son, still tough as ever!"Said by Mom being proud of me.
”Well since you can handle it,no need for me to worry!”She said, which was opposite to what I thought her reaction would be.
W-what?! Damn it!It didn’t turn out the way I expected it to be.
“Bye Son,love you always!”Then she hung up the phone.
At The Street….
How unfortunate!
But at least right now I’m finally outside of that cage that kept getting on my way to do the things that I want.
Such beautiful and refreshing scenery.
I saw from outside different types of people enjoying their day inside the different shops.
You could say that the world is really lively.
I continue walking while humming.
And wondering about my eyesight.
After a while I noticed a black Porsche parking not so far away from me.
If my memory serves right,that car belongs to,
“Hi!Dear Little Brother! Where are you going?!Hop in, I'll give you a ride!``said Brother.
I knew it!
It's such bad luck to run into him right now.
“Thanks but no thanks!I can go by myself.”I said calmly with my hand on my forehead,
thinking,'' What?! What the hell is Brother doing here?! Didn’t he go to the meeting with the person on the call earlier?!"
“Oh?!You can go by yourself because I can’t help you in making trouble?!”He said, smirking.
And of course,he saw right through me.
“I know I could be dense sometimes but not every time.I can also know what’s in your mind, Kian!''He sneered.
“Hey!Did I say that you're dense?!You’re the one who said it to yourself,big Brother!”I said to mock him.
”And also just to make it clear,I didn’t intend to make trouble in the past,I’m just clumsy.”Said by me protecting myself.
“Oh,Then Mom and Dad lied to me?!Wait a moment.”He said, then got his phone from his pocket.
“Wait,what are you doing?!”I asked.
”Making a phone call.”He said honestly.
”Isn’t it obvious?!”Then he showed me the number he was dialing.
A familiar number.
“Why are you calling Dad?!”I asked.
Is his business not done yet,but take care of keeping an eye on me first?!
“I have something to ask.”He answered and then continued on.
”Look! If your business isn't done yet,go back and finish your job.”I beckoned.
He's just wasting his time.
“Didn’t you say that they’re badmouthing you in front of me a little while ago?!"
”What?When did,oh? That?!”Said by me, remembering my words that I said to him earlier.
A Little While Ago…..
"I didn’t intended to make trouble in the past,I’m just clumsy!"I said
“Ehh?!But that’s just,”I uttered.
Crap,If my father found out that I made him look like a liar,I’m doomed for sure!
Damn it!
Looks like there's no other way.
“Say it.What do you want?!”I said out loud.
“Huh?! What are you saying? I-”He never gets a chance to finish what he’s about to say, cause I interrupted him.
”Stop with your act, Brother.I know that you knew that I’m up to something.I actually know that you knew I’m just putting up an act either.I knew you know, from the very start.Come on!I'm still your one and only little Brother after all! I saw it all already,but I just turned my back on it and still continued my bullsh*it!”I said coldly.
I put my hands in my pocket.
”So?Say it!”I added.
“Well it’s been so long since we talked like this, face-to-face right?!”Brother said.
I just stared at him,and didn't say anything.
“How about we make an agreement, Kian?!"He said.
"Go ahead Brother,I'm listening!"I said.
He smiled.
"Here,you can go outside as much as you want!I won’t interfere in your business,I won’t stop you nor keep you inside the mansion!”He offered.
The words that he says are quite nice things to hear for me….but he and Dad are both sweet talkers,they have many similarities,they are not working on the business circle for nothing!
“So, what in exchange for all of those?!”I asked suspiciously.
He chuckled.
“You know me well,there’s an exchange for it,of course! You can do everything as you please outside,but it’s all up to me inside the house.But,to be fair I won’t make you do anything that seems offensive to you.”He answered, sincerely.
”So,deal?!”He asked.
“So,is that all?Then I agree!”I answered.
Brother offered his hand to shake hands.I know I’m dealing with one of the most cunning business man in the whole Asia but,
I accepted his hand and shook it with mine.
Your intelligent brother,you made me walk right into your trap through this agreement!
But,let's give it a try!
