kiraan was pacing his room unable to get the image of her sleeping form out of his head, her soft lips gently parted with a serene look on her face made her look so angelic, so vulnerable he knew it was the only time she supposedly let her guard down...

walking into his brother's room to tell him goodnight he found the little one fast asleep with the phone placed on the nightstand just as he was  about to take the phone his breath hitched as he saw her, his heart racing unable to calm himself he cut the call, realizing that he had his mum's phone he quickly sent Kirti's contact to his phone and deleted the message, making his way to return the electronic device to its rightful owner not before placing a soft kiss on his kai's forehead

he had finally gotten her number through some amazing grace and after stalking her socials to make sure she was okay while on her holiday, he comforted himself by saying he only did to protect her and not as some creep. he knew she was going to be back tomorrow, so he had to start working towards it.

" Fuck kiraan, she's not some business deal you idiot, you did not even start to court her yet and you already messed up " grumbling and swearing at himself for being so dense, he needed to find ways to get closer to her without raising any suspicion he wanted things to happen naturally between them, he was afraid after the last time.

his heart clenched at the thought, he had moved on he knows he did, but the fear will always be a part of him even if he did not show it. running his hand through his soft hair while the other swiped over the pic of her and kai together, he smiled as he remembered that day it was the day of the grill and he sneakily took the pic since it was the moment he wanted to keep forever.

"You know one would think you are in love" He shot up as he looked at the boys standing at the door," I thought you will be back tomorrow?" he quirked a brow at them as they made themselves comfortable in his room.

the blue led lights illuminated his Namjoon poster while the rest of the room was adorned with other merch it was your typically boyish room but rather a bts fanboy room, yes that's another thing he has in common with Kirit they were both armies.

" Nope the girls are coming tomorrow we decided to come tonight" they had sobered up quickly missing their best friend.

" God, could you stop eye fucking my sister's pic?" Kaar rolled his eyes at his friend, while Dylan and Kayden chuckled. the boys had become close after a few business meetings they always saw kiraan as an older brother, someone they could look up to.

they remembered the first meeting they were all so arrogant to each other, until the last meeting they had gone out for drinks only, talking as normal people instead of business and that's how their bond grew thanks to their fathers being close business associates.

what they did not bank on was Kirti complaining about an idiot that left his kid all alone and for that idiot to be their best friend but somehow instead of being worried, they were hopeful that this could be their saving grace more for kiraan and Kirti.

" My sister will kill you if she finds out" Kayden smirked he knew how livid Kirti would become knowing about all this, " well she won't, and I am trying to figure out how the hell am I going to start talking to her without coming too strong"

" You mean like the stunt you pulled in the club you idiot" Dylan shook his head as if disappointed in his best friend " can you blame me did you see her?" he groaned trying to suppress his dirty thoughts "youridiot that's our sister we don't need the details" Kayden threw a pillow at the older one's head which he dodged.

" Well excuse me if I don't have the balls like you," kiraan remarked sarcastically. " I had to okay Kirti said she would have my head if I did not make a move soon". they all chuckled at the truth.

" kiraan you already know how I ...." before Kaar could continue, he heard growls coming from the other two boys " I mean our sister, so just be gentle with her take your time, and do not rush cause honestly she's like a porcelain doll that can easily break even though she does not show it".

"I know that dude and that's what scares me, our first two encounters weren't good and the stunt I pulled in the club did not help. I will definitely take it slow but I just need to find a start" he sighed.

this was the first time the boys had seen him like this, not the typical businessman they knew, but it was their sister, and they knew how hard-headed and stubborn she could be " look like Kaar said take things too slow okay?" 

" Yeah, I will, and as for you if I ever see you moping about that piece of shit ex of yours, I will end you" it hurt and infuriated kiraan to find out about Dylan, the guy was always there for him business-wise, and also as a brother.

"I know am not going back bro made up my mind" he could see Dylan was being genuine, so he nodded trusting his brother's word

after spending some time, the boys left leaving kiraan alone, to figure things out he knew he needed help and besides the boys, he knew someone else that can assist him with determination in his mind he fell asleep.
