"You better stay locked up in your room!"

My grumpy brother marched upto me. His voice loud and clear.

"Alright..Alright...But why?"
"...Cedric's coming over...and...I don't want you near him..."
"...OMG Are you gay?!"
"What?! No You idiot!"
"But you don't want me near him..."
"Cuz he is trouble!"

I chuckled...Then continued..

"Yeah I know...I was just messing with ya...stop being so protective..."
"Yune...I'm not being protective...I'm just...Nevermind..."

I had no idea what he meant but still...I was quite curious...His tone sounded possessive, which was rare...And I realized, it wasn't the first time, that Yuan didn't want me to hang out with Cedric...

I locked myself up in my room, writting poems...The doorbell rang...Once...Twice...But no one answered...So I went down to check who it was...Totally forgetting the fact that Cedric was coming over...

I turned the doorknob open, to face a cute guy...It felt like my heart skipped a beat...He was handsome...

"H-Hi..."
"Uhh Yune...Is Yuan home?"

Oh right! It's Cedric! Damn it!

"Uhh yeah...One sec..."

I went to Yuan's room, my face still flushed as ever...

"Yo Cedric's here..."
"Hm?"

He looked at me for a moment, and noticed my blush...He gave me a deadly glare that could send down a shiver down anyone's spine...His eyes filled with possessiveness...Was He jealous..?

Yuan spoke...

"Oh yeah...Sure...But...D-Did you two chat or something..?"
"Huh?"
"Uhh nvm..."

What was he talking about? What's with the stuttering..? Thoughts filled my head...Why was I getting mixed signals?

Oh my head...I just stayed in my room for the rest of the day...Ignoring Cedric and Yuan...Let them have fun while I stay in...

Cedric was in my brother's bestfriend group. Him, Yuan, Chloe, Kendra and Athena were the popular ones in school...His mom and our mom were childhood friends so Cedric would visit often...But everytime He came, Yuan wouldn't let me out of my room...Ugh!

And for three hours straight, I heard Yuan and Cedric laughing and playing games...So, after Cedric left, I decided to confront Yuan and ask him what was his problem with me and Cedric...

"Yuan we need to talk—"

Oh..He fell asleep while studying...But he looked pretty handsome as the dimly lit light reflected on his face and strands of his hair, falling over his face, it made him look kind of silly...But in a cute way...Good night Yuan...
