AGAIN

6

"eh?" you halted the moment you stepped inside your brothers penthouse, everything looks new and familiar.

"you noticed?" you nodded, while in awe of how familiar the places was decorated like, it was like your old place downtown but more luxurious. "it took us a few months but its all worth it. Do you like it?" Ran said, wrapping his arms around your neck to pull you closer to him. "yeah, it feels so nostalgic." you walked in further, hand feeling the texture of the sofa that looked exactly like the ones in your old place, "it even feels the same."

"We also got your room renovated like your old one, but if you want, you can stay in the guest room if you don't like it and we'll get it changed-" Rindo, who was carrying your thing didn't get to finish what he wanted to say because you already quickly went to your room and saw it exactly look like your old bedroom, just bigger and luxurious and only a few things was different,

Different such as your room having a built-in balcony that you always dream of

"since we knew your taste in decoration probably changed over time so we changed it up a bit. We did the same with ours." you flinch when you heard Ran's voice who seem like he came from nowhere. "then, can we hang out in your room? Like old times?"

Ran smiled at you, of course he would say yes, he can never say no his precious litter sister, the dude can almost be compared to a sis-con. The two of you walk together to his room only to see Rindo already laying on Ran's bed, his face buried in the green mattress , the air-conditioner at it's coolest setting, like how you three liked it. You also saw your bags on the floor of the room. "Aniki, why didn't you bring my things to my room?" you grumble. "why would i? You can do it yourself." he turned his back on you.

"let's fix your things later, kay? Rest here for now. Rindo, move." After Ran closed the door, he went to lay down next to Rindo and you went to lay in between them. "feels just like the old time." Rindo said when he came to wrap his arms around you, his eyes close, "yeah, you still smell like shit. When will you stop using deodorant so excessively."

"I will kill you."

"c'mon it's the first time in years and the first thing you do is fight?" Ran said, putting an arm underneath you and over you and Rindo, bringing the three of you closer. "Aniki, you use way too much perfume."

"right? And the fact he like to use those strong ones isn't helping at all." Rindo yawned and buried his face into your hair. "atleast i don't smell like deodorant." Ran said

The three of you stayed quiet for sometimes, enjoying and remembering your teenage years years when the three of you always cuddle and Ran's room because at the time, Ran had the biggest bed.

Many things happened in Ran' s room in your old house, it was where the three of you experienced being high and drunk for the first time, it was where you ran to when you cried over your first "boyfriend" at your first year of middle school.

Remembering all of those things, you didn't notice that you were almost crying. "feels like home." you mumbled.

"what's with the tears, Reina?" Ran said when he pulled you away to take a closer look at your face.

"im not crying, it's just... It's been a long time since I've felt at home." you sat up and your brothers did too.

Rindo sighed, "you know you can just stay here. It would be-"

"Aniki, please not this again, I've told you many times, I'm not leaving Haruchiyo." you cut him off. "Y/n, aren't you tired of him shamelessly cheating on you? You're only hurting yourself, it hurts us seeing you like this."

"im not, and even if it hurts... As long as he comes back to me the end of the day, it doesn't matter, because as long as he comes back to me means that there's still something between us."

Ran can only sigh and shake his head along Rindo. "you know if your younger self heard how stupid you are right now she probably would have smashed your head against the wall and tell you to get shit together." Ran wiped the tears your face then tugging your hajr behind your ear.

You sobbed, leaning on your oldest brother's chest to hide your face, "she probably have." you continue your soft sub until you heard Rindo sighed. "I'll get the wine." he rolled his eyes, getting up from the bed to get a bottle of wine down the kitchen, leaving you and Ran alone. "yes please." you nodded

"leave him... Or stay with him, that's on you, just know, what ever you choose, your big brothers will always be on your side no matter what." Ran started.

"but it still hurt me,--the person who practically raised you, to see you like this, hurt. Y/n, I've done everything in my power all of my life so you wouldn't be hurt and to make sure you'd live an easy and happy life. But i feel like i failed you when i see you living your life like this, it hurts when i see you forcing yourself to stay. But.. I can't do anything about it can it? "you slowly shaked your head no. "but, remember, you can always run to me, to us. So please, don't hurt yourself too much and wake up." You smiled at him and hugged him, "thank you, nii san."

"hey how about lets do a toast on how stupid and hopeless romantic Y/n is?" Rindo said with a three glasses and a bottle of expensive wine in his hand.

You laughed. "yeah, let's."

"for Princess Y/n for being stupid and hopeless romantic." and as soon as Ran finished his sentence, you drinked all of your wine that was filled to the brim in your glass in one go. "and to being an alcoholic and nicotine addict too, i guess." Rindo looked at you in disappointment because how can someone like you look so classy and sophisticated and be able to drink a hundred bottles of alcohol and smoke a whole pack in one day... That's mostly an exaggeration but i guess that what happens when you're surrounded and grew up around delinquents and gang members, even married one.

That fired back to your older brother who raised you almost perfectly
