Aoi POV

It's been an hour since Nene-chan and I went back inside the cabin. And it has also been an hour since my mood and hope for love just went downhill. Life is too cruel.

"Hey Aoi-chan, what's up?"

I look at the person who called me, only to make my mood go worse. "Hey..... Amane-kun." I greeted, forcing myself to smile like I usually do.

He lay down on the bed across mine.I heardhim groan before he starts talking. "So, did you just get rejected or what? C'mon, I wanna to know!"

I secretly rolled my eyes and buried myself with this thick, white, fur blanket. "Why would I tell you? It's none of your business, anyway." I answered.

"Aw, Aoi! Aren't I your favourite cousin?" I can feel him pouting from the other side of the room. "Since when did I say that?" I smirked.

"You told me that when we were wearing diapers! Aoi, you meanie!" He faked cried as I just laugh in silence. He may be older than me but he sure does acts more childish.

"Fine, fine. You are my favourite cousin of all time."

I heard him cheer and I roll my eyes again. This boy... I feel so sorry to whoever may be his wife-

oh....

It's gonna be Nene-chan. Nene-chan likes him. Bullshit.

My 'happy for a while' heart dropped back to the pit of sadness after I remembered what she said earlier. Amane-kun and Nene-chan being together? I can see it but I don't want to. It hurts my eyes, brain, heart... actually it hurts on every part of me.

After for almost 2 minutes of Amane-kun just blabbering on 'reasons why he is my favourite cousin', he fell silent.

"Aoi-chan? You okay? Please get out of the blanket, Aunt Sumire will spank me if she sees you sad." He said. I just listened to him as I hear his footsteps getting closer to my bed. I didn't bother to respond to him as I turn myself to the right side of the bed.

"Is there something from what I said?"

I sighed and just mumbled, "Do you... like someone? a girl, perhaps?". There was a moment of silence between the two of us before he chuckled and answered, "Haven't I told you before? I don't have any interest to someone or some girl right now. I wanna work at NASA. I don't have the time for smooching and stuff."

I can feel my heart calm down from what he said. Does this mean I still have a chance? To Nene-chan's heart?


"As soon as you looked at me, I..." I was about to close my eyes as I listen to his words, this guy then pulled my blanket out of the bed, out from my touch. I immediately stood up and was ready to take it back from him, until he gave me the ' not so fast' look. I sighed and slump back to my bed, looking at his eyes with nothing but an upsetting look.

He faked a cough and continued his sentence. "As soon as I looked at your miserable face, I instantly knew what you're thinking."

My eyes widened in shock. I averted my eyes away from him and bit my lip as i began talking. "W-what are you t-talking about?" I smiled, forcibly, perhaps.

He squinted his eyes and laughed. "As if I'm stealing her from you. I may used to have a crush on her but I'm giving you way to her heart." As he finished his sentence, He then poke my forehead.

"You rotten grape."

I placed a hand on my chest, looking very offended even though I wasn't. "I'm not rotten, you're rotten! What even is that green stuff on your hair!"

"What green stuff?"

I pointed on the top of his head. He then reached to where I pointed and after he touches the spot, and looked at his fingers for a few seconds before shouting "AKANE YOU LITTLE..!!!"

Amane-kun ran outside the room, down to the living room. I just giggled but then stopped when I heard Akane-kun screaming downstairs.

"YUGI YOU B!TCH! COME HERE AND LET ME CHOKE YOU TO HELL!"

"OH? YOU WANNA? LET ME TAKE YOU WITH ME! MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR, YOU RUINED IT! AH!"

"BOYS, QUIET DOWN, WILL YOU?! YOU'RE SCARING THE DEERS!"

I get up from bed and then walked to the balcony. I sat down on one of the resting chairs and looked at the sky above. I sighed and closed my eyes, feeling the embrace of the cold night air to my skin.

"So, Amane-kun is you favourite cousin, huh?"

I widened my eyes at the voice. I slowly turned my eyes to the other resting chair with a shocked face. I was speechless.

"So... You like a girl, huh? How adorable."  Nene-chan smiled widely with her hands clasped together.

How long has she been sitting here?!

Kami-sama, please take my soul now...
