"that's so good to hear that both of you already met, i am so glad Yuri found such a pretty girl like you y/n - san" yor said complementing us while my brother and my so-called boyfriend sat opposite to each other, starring daggers into eyes.
The tension was so high it could've been cut with a knife, when I explained to my brother about this new situation he didn't buy it, it was clear he wasn't going to have any of my shit. Every time I work on such missions we do it together or I inform him beforehand, and I am sure me dating yor's brother means they are somehow related to war. " Would you like some tea?" I asked trying to lower the pressure going on, yeah tea is the ultimate solution. " No, thank you let's rather talk about the new couple before us, I am quite interested in it," my brother said as I gulped air down my throat, a visible irk appeared on his forehead, he ain't liking this. " Well we met-" " I didn't ask you Mr. Boyfriend I asked my sister," he said dangerously growling as his patience reduced with every passing second. " I- Uh we met on the road yes he helped me and then coincidentally on the boutique and we just immediately clicked you know, when I looked at him I knew he was the one and we wasted no time in, and started dating" I blabbered trying to make the poor lie feel real. I knew he wasn't buying it. Yor happily smiled while Anya sat beside Loid drinking her orange juice and enjoying the drama, whereas there was a silent staring showdown going on between the two men, ' how to light the mood, we can't succeed like this' I internally screamed while I looked around to find something distracting. And at that exact moment, Anya stood up from her chair, " Chi- chi Anya wants to go out," she says tugging the jacket of brother ' yes Anya-Chan I am so proud of you " I apologize then," brother said rising from his chair as he carried Anya in his arms. "Chi chi Anya wants Aunty as well," she said pointing towards me. ' no no no anya -chan he would kill me " Hai let's go Anya-chan," I said rising from my chair, while my heart beated 180 mph, i counted my steps till we were out of view. " I thought we were siblings". I raised my head to see the slight disappointment in my brother's eyes. " How could you hide this y/n-you didn't feel the need to tell me that now you have a so-called boyfriend and we are keeping secrets?" he said dejectedly letting Anya go to play. "It's for the mission, I- I do not like him or any other feelings - irm it's just work I swear brother," I said trying to explain myself as I lowered my gaze, I shouldn't have hide this from him. He let out a breath as I slowly felt his arms around me. " Do not hide anything from me again n/n, whatever I do is just to protect you, I don't want you to get hurt ever again." loid said as a few tears leaked from my eyes. My brother was never an emotional peep, and all my life I ran to get his acceptance, to be worthy enough to be called as his sister, but I let him down, each and every time. " It still doesn't mean I agree with that man. Men are dogs and If he touches a single hairstand of yours I am killing him ." He said as I let out a laugh, I nodded to his murderous suggestion while we continued watching Anya play on the swing. Seeing the half-moon shining up in the sky, I felt serenity once again... With him. . . . " Hai !! The dinner was good wasn't it "Yor-san said stretching her arms outwards. " It was such a coincidence now we all can be a family together," she said holding my hands as her eyes roamed from me and Yuri. I smiled awkwardly tucking my hair. "Nee-san! I think it's time well I should take a leave I have work tomorrow" Yuri said looking at me, even if he was talking with his sister he never took his eyes off me. "Y/n why don't you drop Yuri to the train station, it's nearby. Till then we will pack everything and Anya is already asleep so we might stay some time." She said clearly with another motive. She kept eyeing us with those big heart eyes. She was trying to make us get close. I looked towards Yuri for him to reject her but to my surprise " Hai!. Let's go then y/n chan ." He raised his hands towards me, indicating me to do the same. 'WHATTT' I looked at my brother who clearly didn't like the idea "I am sure my brother might need-" " No problem y/n you can go," my brother said with an irk on his forehead for the nth time in the evening. I just nodded to him, I was stuck I didn't knew if I should celebrate or cry. we parted our ways to the station. " That was some heck of a shock." "It surely was" "I didn't knew you had a brother?" " You never asked," I said kicking a pebble on the road. "I am sorry" Yuri stopped in his tracks. She looked back at him and saw his sincere eyes looking straight at hers. "I am sorry that I caught you up in my mess and I'll be a better boyfriend next time." He said half bowingly at her. 'Next time...'
