Heartfelt Reunion?

Black's POV

-

The last 4 weeks flew by in the blink of an eye. All 8 of us were standing in front of Gumpa's garage waiting for White to show up. It was currently 09:15 am and White wasn't supposed to show up for another 15 minutes. 

Everyone was a little nervous about leaving but I was more antsy about meeting White again. I could just picture him being the crybaby that he is and running into my arms as he hugs me with tears in his eyes. I mean it's been 13 years and I finally get to hold my baby brother. 

I keep checking my phone for any new notifications but the only one that I have is his message from yesterday reminding me to be ready by 09:30 am. Gram grabs my other hand and gives it a light squeeze. I give him a tight lip smile as I think back to when we broke the news to the others.

-------- Flashback --------

"We're going to Zeno?!" Yok shot up like a rocket after Gram broke the news to them. "Wait! Black has a twin?! Why have we never heard about this?!" I roll my eyes as I try to keep a neutral face to keep from showing how happy I am to see White again.

"Because it was none of your business. Just be happy I decided not to leave you on this dying rock." I cross my arms as I lean back on the couch. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He tries to run and hug me by I mush his face away before he gets close. "Yeah, whatever. Just be ready in time or he said that he will leave you all since the ship doesn't wait for anyone." Sean leans in as I speak. "What's your twin like?"

"A person. Now fuck off." Gram gives me a look before stepping in. "Nong White is actually really cute. He looks just like Black, but he's much softer with fluffy wavy hair and round glasses. He's so sweet and respectful too. A complete 180 from Black." 

Sean nods as Gumpa speaks up now. "How did he get the money to afford this?" I adjust in my seat uncomfortably, feeling weird about opening up about my past, but I guess that I can't really hide it now that we are leaving. 

"Our parents are very influential in the political world. Our father is a diplomat and our mother is a judge. However, due to...circumstances, they separated us when we were 11 years old. So I went with our mother and White went with our father.-" "Wait?" Sean interrupted. "If your parents are rich then why do you live like, well us?" 

It took everything in me not to jump him for cutting me off. "Well because mommy dearest couldn't shape me into what she wanted and I kept calling them out for their corrupted nature, I was cut off once I turned 18." Sean leans back, satisfied with my response.

"Nong White actually runs his own tech company now. He started it after he graduated with his bachelor's degree 3 years ago. It's B & W Tech." Everyone seemed shocked by this news that Gram just dropped on them. I mean, White's company isn't just some tiny start-up but now a multi-million dollar company. He has had some really great inventions. He has made affordable, yet innovative smartphones that have the latest technology and was the first to invent portable holographic 3D videocall that even the poor could afford. He regularly donates to charities and promotes petitions that he believes in. He has employed a lot of the misfortunate with great benefits. He avoids the public eye so no one knows what he looks like except his employees and friends that knew him beforehand. He use to work closely with our father until he found out about his shady dealings and tried to use White's company as a cover. He quickly cut off our father while making this fact public knowledge and owning up to his mistakes and ignorance. He did not disclose his personal relationship to the public but called him out and swear to make a change. The public supports his company because of his transparency and his actions for change.
