Rin continued to gaze at his older brother Sae, and M/N from afar. He certainly didn't like the view though. He stood up from the bench he was sitting on and approached Sae and M/N, he couldn't take it anymore. His jealousy got ahold of him.

Rin's footsteps grew heavier with each stride as he closed the distance between himself and his older brother, Sae, along with M/N. The sun's warm rays illuminated the field, but Rin's heart felt clouded by a mix of envy and confusion. He couldn't understand why seeing Sae and M/N together made him feel this way.

As he approached, Rin noticed the easy camaraderie between Sae and M/N. They laughed and chatted effortlessly while practicing their football skills. Rin couldn't help but compare himself to Sae, feeling inadequate and overshadowed by his brother's talent and charm.

Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, Rin resolved to confront the situation. He approached Sae and M/N, trying to keep his voice steady as he greeted them, "Hey, guys. Mind if I join in?"

Sae glanced up, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Sure. We were just practicing some passes."

M/N nodded in agreement, a hint of excitement in their eyes. "The more the merrier."

Rin forced a smile, masking his inner turmoil. He positioned himself on the field, feeling a surge of determination as he focused on the game. The ball flew between them, their movements fluid and synchronized. But despite his efforts to fit in, Rin couldn't shake off the lingering jealousy that gnawed at him.

As the practice continued, Rin's best friend, Hiori, appeared on the sidelines, observing the trio. Sensing Rin's unease, Hiori made their way over, concern etched on their face. "Rin, are you okay? You seem different today."

Rin sighed, taking a moment to collect his thoughts. "I don't know, Hiori. It's just... seeing Sae and M/N together like this, it bothers me. I can't help but feel jealous, but I don't even know why."

Hiori's eyes softened with understanding. "Jealousy can be complicated, Rin. Maybe it's not about M/N or even Sae. Have you considered that you might be feeling left out or afraid of losing your connection with your brother?"

Rin pondered Hiori's words, realizing they struck a chord within him. Perhaps his jealousy wasn't solely about M/N. It could be rooted in a fear of losing his close bond with Sae, a bond that had always been there, unbreakable. Rin nodded slowly, grateful for Hiori's insight.

Taking a deep breath, Rin decided to open up to Sae. Later that day, when the sun had begun to set and the field emptied, Rin approached his brother with newfound resolve. Sae and M/N had finished their practice and were sitting on the bench, catching their breath.

"Sae, can we talk for a moment?" Rin asked, his voice tinged with vulnerability.

Sae looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity and concern. "Of course, Rin. What's on your mind?"

Rin took a seat beside Sae, casting a quick glance at M/N, who gave them both some space. "I... I've been feeling jealous, Sae. Seeing you and M/N together, it stirred up something inside me, and I couldn't understand why."

Sae's expression softened, his gaze meeting Rin's. "Rin, I didn't realize. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable. M/N and I have been spending more time together lately, but it doesn't mean I value our bond any less. You're my brother, and that will always be special to me."
