"Oh god! Where on earth is he?!"

Mom shouted on the top of her voice...It looked like Yuan's late for dinner...Again! But that was expected...I mean, when was the last time he came on time?

Dad tried to calm mom down...

"Calm down Yumi..."
"How can I?! Like, what does he even do in that room of his?! He's ALWAYS late!"

I couldn't help but laugh at mom's exclamation...But I was also curious...What was he even hiding in that gloomy room of his?

"Yune...Go call your brother...For the 12th time"

Mom groaned...Great! Just great!..You know what? I'll go! But...I need an extra kebab!

Thinking about an extra kebab, I barged into my brother's room...Uhhh what..?

"Damn Yune! Why can't you just knock before entering?!"

Wait...Was he watching a Chinese Drama..? LOL

Yuan looked hella pissed...

"You better not tell about this to anyone...Especially not to Cedric and Chloe!"
"No promises...And mom's calling you for dinner for like 30 minutes straight! Bye!"

I sprinted down the staircase because I knew I would be dead if Yuan catches me...

I got to the table and sat...A few minutes, and Yuan joined as well...And there it started...The discussion...

"Mom~"

My mom gave me a suspicious look then spoke...

"What do you need this time Yune?"
"Well since I called your dumbass son down here, can I get a kebab from Yuan's side..?"

I gave my most angelic smile and Yuan nearly choked on his food...

"Hey! I'm not some dumbass!"

And like that, our language just pissed grandma...

"Language you two!"

I eventually apologized..But my stubborn brother didn't...

My dad finally spoke after all this time...

"Yuan...Apologise to Yune...She's your sister..."

Yuan kept silent for a while, then mumbled...A mumble that could be heard clearly...

"Sometime I wish she wasn't just a sister to me..."

I raised an eyebrow...

"What?"
"Just forget it..."

He left the table, without completing dinner...Well atleast now that he's not here, can I have his BBQ? But without him, it was kinda lonely...

Yuan, stubborn as ever, didn't come back down for dinner...And mom had to take his dinner to his room...Like that's illegal man! Why does he get such prince-like treatment?!

"Yuan.."

Mom spoke, locking the door behind her and turning the lights on...

"I don't wanna eat.."
"But you have to..."
"..."

By his face, you could tell there's something he didn't want anyone to find out...And mom understood...

"Tell me what's wrong Yuan..."

And with a sigh, he let it out...

"It's just that—" Sigh..."Nevermind mom..."

He liked Yune...
