━━━━━━━━━━━━━━" '𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄!' 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄.", The mother with short black colored hair spoke with eagerness.

Her sick son sat on his bed in between his parents while reading the children's book all together. His forehead was plastered with a wet cloth to bring down his fever, his bowl like cut frames his rounder face shape.

"What a big house it was!" The mother continued, trying to cheer her son as his lips parted to breathe through it as he felt his nose was blocked while reading the book.

Meanwhile, the father beside him stayed silent. Enjoying the time reading together as a small smile plastered on his face.

"The town mouse's family—" before she could continue on, a voice shook in the room.

"Dad!" Another boy shout,

The father then looked back to where the voice was coming from, seeing his eldest son standing infront of the door.

His face was stoic, he had a short black hair and a hat that sat on top of his head. He wore a thick jacket to warm up from the cold winter, his hand clutching a ball as the other wore a baseball glove.

"Come outside and play catch!" The boy continues, Hearing his son's words, the father sighed silently.

"Taiyo isn't feeling well, find something you can do by yourself." He answered to his older son, a bead of sweat falling down his cheek. Feeling a little bad to turn down his child's request.

Hearing this, the older brother bit the inside of his cheeks while his eyebrows furrowing in anger underneath the hat.

"You always say that. Taiyo's never well!" He debated.

The mother then decided to chirp in, stopping the commotion for all.

"You're the big brother, Aki." She spoke, her soft voice was a little stern as she finally scolds her son.

"Be patient and play by yourself."

Hearing his own mother's words, his gaze then lowered a bit to the ground as his face began to darkened with shadow. Disappointment, anger and sadness began to overwhelm him slowly.

Seeing this, Taiyo, Aki's younger brother began to felt sad. He then finally voice out.

"I.. i wanna play with my big brother!"

Aki's face began to scrunch in surprisement, his lowering head facing their way. Both of their parents looked towards eachother, as if debating whether or not to let them play together.

"If you start to feel bad—come back in the house, okay?" The parents shout, making sure the youngest sibling heard what they spoke. Happy to see them both going to play together, but still slightly concerned for the younger either way.
