[16]

Shinichiro was whistling a song as he quietly went to the kitchen, it's almost 3 pm and he wanted to have a little snack before he leaves to see Takeomi.

When he walked past [first name]'s room, the door was wide open, and he saw his sister brushing her hair. Shinichiro stopped in his tracks and looked at where his sister's room is, then walked backwards.

He stood outside [first name]'s room, looking at her in confusion. She was wearing a navy blue oversized hoodie that reaches her thighs, and a pair of tattered shorts—the hoodie was so big on her, it looked like a dress to her, and it covered the shorts that she was wearing.

Shinichiro scratched the side of his head, thinking that his sister looks like she's going somewhere, which he finds a bit weird because knowing [first name], she rarely goes out. He cleared his throat and said, "Hey, where are you going?"

[first name] flinched a little when she heard Shinichiro's voice, she turned around and saw her brother looking at her with a weird look on his face, "Oh, I didn't know you're still here. I thought you're going to see Takeomi?" she said as she got out of her room, walking past the confused-looking Shinichiro.

"I am," he paused, then he shook his head, "What about you?" he asked as he followed his sister to the front door of their house.

[first name] opened their shoe cupboard and took her sneakers out, "What about me?" she asked as she got down and began putting on her shoes.

Shinichiro crossed his arms and leaned against their wall, watching his sister tie her shoes. "Where are you going?" he asked, lifting a brow at her, "School?"  he added.

[first name] stood up and gave him a serious look, "It's Saturday, Shin.." she said monotonously.

Shinichiro mentally face palmed—he felt stupid. He knows that it's Saturday but that's the only place that he knows his sister goes to whenever she's leaving the house alone. "Then where are you going?" he asked again.

[first name] opened their front door, with her eyes still on her older brother, "To the Shrine, I'm meeting Waka-san there." she said, looking away from him. "He said to meet him there, and I have no idea why." she said truthfully.

When Shinichiro heard her mention Wakasa, he was so relieved—she was just meeting a friend of theirs. "Oh, okay." he said, flashing her a warm smile.

[first name] turned and raised a brow at him, "Why?"

"Nothing," he said as he uncrossed his arms and turned his back on her, "I thought you were hiding something from me." he said as he began walking away from her, heading to where their kitchen is.

[first name] put a hand on her waist, "Why and what would I even hide from you?" she asked, furrowing her brows at him a little.

Shinichiro stopped and looked over his shoulder, "Well, I know some of the boys in your school has a crush on you, and I thought you decided to date one of them.." he said.

[first name] gave him a weird stare, "Huh?"

Shinichiro turned to fully face her and said, "I'm not ready to see my little sister date some asshole yet."

[first name] flinched, then she furrowed her brows at him a little, "First off, ew. And second, why would I even date an 'asshole'?" she said, air quoting the word asshole.

Shinichiro chuckled at his sister's adorable reaction, "Well, you're in that age now, [nickname].." he said, then he looked up, recalling what he's like back when he's 15. "I remember when I was in your age, I liked a girl back then..and I remember that I asked her out on a d—"
