4 --* Pretty Schoolgirl?

"Kuya Kiyoshi"

Kiyoshi cringed a bit. 

"Kuya"

He could hear his sister's voice while tapping his shoulder.

"Kuya"

"Hmm?"

Kiyoshi finally opened up his eyes and saw Hazel, already dressed in her uniform, who looked so worried at him. He looked on the side and saw the tall guy in his fitted shirt and pants with a cap on whose name is Yexel and Jux on the other hand who looked so fashionably perfect on his green blazer, black shirt and pants with a strap bag on his body.

What are they doing here? Kiyoshi thought. Meanwhile, Hazel touched his forehead and said "You're still hot"

Still hot? he thought. He touched himself and realized the rising temperature of his body.  Just then, he sat up from his bed and faced the three of them. 

"Oy Pre, nilalagnat ka" [Hey bro, you have fever] Yexel stated, looking concerned.

"Lagnat? Sus, wala 'to" [Fever? Psh, this is nothing] Kiyoshi said while trying to get up from his bed but Hazel stopped him from doing so.

"Kuya, rest" Hazel stated.

"Nah. I'm okay. Hazel, you have to go to school right? Do you want me to h--"

"Nope, Kuya Jux will send me to school" Hazel cut off his words as he pulled Jux closer to her. Kiyoshi sighed then smirked.

"Hoy kayong dalawa, ano bang ginagawa niyo dito?" [Hey, both of you, what are you doing here?] he asked.

Hazel answered "I called Kuya Yexel and Kuya Jux because you're sick" 

Kiyoshi sighed once more. Yes, he's feeling feverish right now but at least he doesn't feel the intense pain in his head anymore.

He looked at Yexel and Jux. Somehow he feels so thankful that he still have friends to support him, well unlike his father who was neglected by his so-called business partners when they lost the company.

"Siguro wag ka na munang pumasok ngayon, Yoshi" [Maybe you should not go to work today, Yoshi] Jux commented.

"Hindi pwede may trabaho pa k--" [It can't be, I still have work to d--]

"Kuya, magpahinga ka muna!" [Kuya, would you please just rest!]  Hazel, again, cut off his words as she crossed her arms and commanded his brother not to go to work.
