Chapter 12 - Following What Was Right

A certain amount of time passed ever since Azusa was rushed to the hospital. My brothers helped calm me down and helped comfort me as I felt a wave of panic and fear wash over. They led me to the couch where they didn't keep their eyes off me.

This showed bad memories of my past that I never wanted to remember. I stayed silent and closed my eyes as I continued to let my tears out. I tried to breath calmly so I can calm myself.

I took a while but I was able to relax.

I opened my eyes and took another breath.

"Here, have some water, Naomi," Louis offered.

"Thank you," I muttered as I took the cup from his hand and drank from it.

I must look terrible right after crying for who knows how long.

I remained silent as I placed the cup back in Louis's hand.

I never wanted to show myself like this to anyone. Not even my brothers. But, it was a feeling I couldn't keep hidden forever. I know my brothers are shocked as well. I just....I just want Azusa to be okay.

Footsteps were heard as we looked up and found Masaomi who was smiling. "He's going to be okay," he said happily.

Everyone around me started to cheer as I felt relieved and I finally made a smile everyone were hoping to see.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

It turns out that he was fatigue and grown weak due to lack of sleep which is why he kept on getting headaches. We all believed it was based on all the work he has been trying to put into the new anime he has been working on with Tsubaki.

With all good news, I knew I had to check on Tsubaki. Even after what just happened, I know that I can't leave him alone.

I walked upstairs and went towards his bedroom.

I stood in front of the door and knocked, "Tsubaki? May I talk to you?"

In his room, he sat on his bed with his arms wrapped around a pillow.

I spoke again, "Tsubaki...please don't do this. Let me talk to you. I know out of everyone, you are the one who got most affected by this situation. So, whatever you say, I'll listen to you. Just please don't act like this."

No response.

I clenched my fists, "He's going to be okay."

Tsubaki was surprised as his eyes shot up, but then his eyes were filled with sadness again.

"Tsubaki...this is the part where you're happy."

"Naomi, you don't understand."

"Huh?"

He looked at the door as he continued, "I was rude to you and to him! He was right! I was being selfish and I didn't care about how you felt! I don't deserve to happy right now. I...can't help but feel guilty about what I have done."

It was silent for a moment as I spoke again, "Tsubaki, let me in. Let me help you as your sister. Your only sister. Please."

Tsubaki listened to me and opened the door to let me in. I walked inside as he sat on his bed placing the pillow beside him.

"I never wanted to let you see me like this. The brother who's always happy and cheerful, is not in front of you. I'm so ashamed of myself. I made a big fool of myself. I never meant to hurt you or Azusa."

I placed my hands on my hips, "Why don't you tell him that yourself?"

"What?", he looked at me.
