Hikari rubbed her stomach after she had eaten the scrumptious dinner her mother especially made for her. She had tried a lot of three-star Michelin chefs' cooking back during her trip for her performances and none of them could beat her mother's cooking. The stuffed stomach made her want to lie in her bed doing nothing and it was the best thing to do after dinner.
Throwing her body on her bed, Hikari swayed both her hands and feet as if she was on top of the snow creating wings for herself. The comfort made her eyes fluttered close and she could feel herself slowly floating higher, higher, and higher... She could feel her name being called from afar but she had no power nor will to answer it... until she felt herself being dragged down from her bed.
"Kyaa! Earthquake! There's an earthquake!" she jolted from her bed while flailing her hands into every direction, not knowing why she screamed 'earthquake'. Hikari confusedly looked around to see her brother at the end of her bed with his hands still around her ankles. "O-Onii-chan? What are you doing here? Why did you drag me?"
"I've tried the gentlest way to wake you but it didn't work. That aside, how many times did I tell you that it's not good to sleep after a meal?"
"I know that!" Hikari pouted in response and crossed her arms and feet like a sulking child.
"And you still did it," he pressed his tone, giving the chill down to her bone marrow that Hikari decided to shift her position in a more respectful way and bowed to him.
"I'm very sorry, Onii-chan. It won't happen again..." Sometimes she didn't understand what she should feel towards her brother. If she was asked about her most favourite person, she would undoubtedly say her brother. But she would definitely answer the same for her less favourite person. Her brother was scarier than her parents or her grandfather when he reprimanded her and it wasn't because of his voice. Her brother barely raised his voice at her...
It was his silence that killed her.
"I'm glad that you understand," he said as he fixed his glasses' position. Hikari smiled at him and patted her side on the bed, motioning him to sit and so he did.
