Jun's POV

The door of house opened and Aunt Penny was standing there, intently looking at us in annoyance.

"What do you want now?" She snapped

"Robin wanted us to talk." I smiled sweetly. "Let us in, we promise to be civilized."

"No." Yun muttered from beside me.

"I already told you that I want you to leave didn't I?" She placed her hands on her hips "I have no desire to speak with you, so return to–"

Robin appeared at the door. He held the door handle and pulled it open wider "Come."

Yun grinned as I smiled. "Excuse us, Aunt." We both said as we took off our shoes and entered the house, Aunt Penny looking at us in disbelief. Robin lead us to the living room then faced her.

"C-can you talk to them?" He asked, pointing at us.

"I have nothing to say to them." She huffed.

"They have something to say. Just listen."

Aunt Penny looked at him for a long while then stomped into the room and slumped down on the sofa in front of where we were sitting. She folded her arms, leaned back and crossed her legs. "Say what you have to and leave forever."

"Unfortunately, that can't be the case." I started "You see, we made a promise, both to our older brother and to Robin and there is no way we are going to break it. If you want us to leave so quickly then it's up to you to agree on our conditions."

"Excuse me?!"

"They're very simple actually. We're not asking much from you, we don't want money, we don't want to hurt your family or cause them any misfortune–"

"A little." Yun whispered from the side. I rolled my eyes.

"We just want Robin."

"No." She said boldly, making Robin flinch from in front of the door where he was still standing. I frowned.

"You didn't even listen to us." I continued "We don't just want Robin, we need him. We're not gonna leave without him, we're going to keep coming here everyday until you allow him to come with us."

"I'll call the police on you, would you like that?" She scoffed.

"No-!" Robin took a step forward but Yun smiled at him, which made him stay silent. Yun looked at Aunt Penny ever so sweetly. Oh God, here we go.

"Then we'll take him by force." Yun said casually.

"How do you expect to do that? Are you going to smuggle him out of the country or something?"

Yun smiled "No. We're just going to start a court case."

Aunt Penny sat up straighter. "What. What for?"

"For taking Robin's guardianship from you."

"Nonsense! There is no way you would be able to go against me in court. I've got several lawyer friends. I work in law."

I tensed. She works in law? That's a bit difficult.

"Yes of course, there is no way we'd be able to do it. We're both barely adults and Robin is 17, we understand. But what if we could find an adult more capable than you? Who's as close to Robin as you are by blood? Someone who is a lot more likely to win the judge's side and Robin would admit wanting in court. What do you think about that?" Yun grinned.

"And who would that person be? How could you both ever convince an adult to adopt Robin? Don't be daft."

"Our Uncle James."
