"Don't let your guard down."

It had become the main principal of his life and he kept saying it over and over to many people around him. But Kunimitsu realise how he let his guard down too much recently, especially since his sister coming home. And Atobe Keigo, being a master of Insight, smartly used the gap of his weakness to turn things to his own favour.

Only one day, he decided to check his injury, Keigo already made his way to his sister. They eventually involved in a stupid match, resulting in Hikari's lost and her having to do whatever Keigo wanted. To his surprise, his condition wasn't too bad at all. It was great even.

"They're my top-tier securities and they will guard your sister 24/7 from now on. My condition for her is that she has no right to complain or refuse this arrangement."

But then again, it had to be according to the way Keigo liked.

"Thank you for the offer, Atobe. But we don't want to burden you with our matters."

"Unfortunately, I won against her in a match and she has to accept my condition. I'm not here to ask for your permission or such because this arrangement is to be effective immediately. I want to tell this directly to you because you're her brother. That aside, I'm doing this for myself too. It'll ease my mind if they're watching over her."

"My family is aware of the case. It has reached my grandfather's desk also and he has assigned secret police to watch her so we don't really—"

"I've told you that my tea was spiked before our match, haven't I?" Kunimitsu furrowed his brows. "You know how tight the security around me, don't you? They've breached that far without getting caught, Tezuka. They watched me to the point that they even know things that were supposed to be my secret with Hikari. Will you still take this matter lightly?"

"...Does this have something to do with the underground tennis business?"

Keigo shut his eyes. "Who knows? But if they can target Hikari, there's a chance that they might be targeting you too." He sipped his tea and placed his cup down, staring at it momentarily.
