"Wow! You finally got yourself a boyfriend, Lucy?"I stood awkwardly beside Haru who also stiffened on his position. Lars, who was in the middle of eating dried mangoes, eyed the giant baby that I brought to his room. He kept on nodding in satisfaction as if Haru's looks was much to his liking.
"W-We're not dating yet!" Haru stammered as he corrected my brother. Napangiwi ako sa sinabi niya. "I confessed to Lucy multiple times, but she keeps on rejecting me. However, rest assured that I won't give up! I will keep on pestering her until she loves me back!" determinado niyang sabi sa kapatid ko na noo'y tuwang tuwa sa kanya.
"Ang daldal mo, Haru."
Lars shifted his gaze to me. "Tell me the truth, Lucy. What kind of ritual did you conduct to make such guy fall for you? Is it related to black magic? Wizardry? Gayuma ba?" He laughingly accused me.
I only raised my middle finger in response. Kahit ako, hindi ko alam kung anong nakita sa akin ni Haru. I mean, I have a pretty face, but my personality is rotten. I'm not really an ideal type.
I don't know how things ended up this way. Habang nagkaklase kami, kinausap ako ni Haru at sinabi niya sa aking gusto niyang makilala ang kakambal ko. Wala namang masama kaya dinala ko na lang siya rito sa ospital para manahimik na siya.
"He wanted to meet you, so I brought him here. His name is Haru Shiota. I met him in Japan." tamad kong pagpapakilala sa kasama ko. What a hassle. "He's the youngest brother of Hana."
Lars offered his hand to him. "Oyasumi nasai, Haru-kun. Watashi no namae wa Lars desu. O aide kite ure shii desu." He smiled.
Haru gasped. "Nihongo ga hanasemasen?"
"Hai. Nihongo ga sukoshi hanasemasu." My brother nodded.
Kinuha ni Haru ang kamay ng aking kambal. I thought it'd be a normal handshake, but my eyes widened in disbelief when Lars suddenly leaned down to kiss Haru's hand. Nalaglag ang panga ko at hindi ako kaagad na nakapagsalita. Even Haru was caught off guard.
"You're handsome, Haru-kun. Do you want to go out with me?"
"H-He kissed my hand, Lucy!" It may seem like an exaggeration, but Haru looked like he was about to collapse. He sprinted away from Lars then hid behind me. "W-What's with this person? Is he really your brother?" mangiyak-ngiyak niyang tanong sa akin.
I glared at my twin. "What the hell, Lars?"
"I feel so dirty!" umiiyak na sabi ni Haru. "I shall get rid of this impure hand of mine! Goodbye!" Nalaglag ang panga ko dahil naglabas siya ng itak at umakto siyang puputulin na niya ang kamay niya. Saan naman nanggaling ang itak na 'yan?!
Lars teased him. "Shall I kiss you on the lips, Haru-kun?"
"Get your shit together, Haru!" Niyugyog ko siya dahil tuluyan na siyang nawala sa kanyang sarili. It looked like he was fearing for his life since he kept on praying. "Stop it, Lars! Don't scare him!"
"What did I do?" He laughingly asked. "Don't look at me like that, my dear sister. When I regained my consciousness, I realized that both men and women are born equal and beautiful. Therefore, I can love all of them." He explained dramatically. Kumuha siya ng isang rosas sa gilid at kinagat niya ito sabay kindat sa amin.
Oh, damn. The cringe is real. What happened to my brother?
"What do you think, Haru-kun? Shall we date?"
Haru shook his head frantically. "I'm sorry, but my heart belongs to Lucy! I refuse to date anyone else! I'm planning to dedicate myself to the temple if we don't end up together!" He said with conviction.
