Bright's POV:

A lot has happened these past few weeks and it has made me think about lots of things. Win is now out of the hospital and He is now attending classes normally. Well he is good at school so being away for a week would be an easy feat for him.

Besides Nene frequently made visits to give him notes and to study some lessons with Win. Win somehow also kinda changed. I mean ever since we knew we were brothers I guess a lot of things also changed.

However it is just not the way I imagined it to be. I really thought that I would be able to spend some time with him alone since Frank has gone to a prep school now for he would be going to college after this school year ends but somehow Win is always pre occupied with something.

We barely have time to be together. It's either he is busy with school or he would be hanging out with friends. It's not like I am jealous or anything. No, Not, At, All! Besides today I'm gonna surprise him since it's weekend and we need to spend some quality time as brothers.

I arrived outside his house at about 8 in the morning. He wakes up late during weekends so I plan on making him breakfast today. I brought ingredients and I am now confident with my cooking skills.

Oh I can't wait to feed him lots of foods and spoil him with sweets that I bought from Mr. Klorns bakery. When I was near the entrance the door opened, revealing Win dressed up in his favorite pink sweater and black pants.

"Oh Bright! What brings you here? And is that food?" He asks looking at the things I have in hand. "Yeah I was planning to cook breakfast for you! I really got good in cooking you see!" I said smiling.

His face was filled with confusion and I find it cute the way his forehead creases in deep thought. "About that....." he seemed to be reluctant at speaking but he continued.

"I already had plans today with Luke. However I would get home for dinner so how about you just make dinner for me and Mom, later?" He said as he took  one of the bags from me and he pulled me inside the house.

My smile faltered as we entered the kitchen but what surprised me most was Luke eating breakfast on the table. He greeted me and I just nodded. For the first time in my life I couldn't help but feel out of place in Win's house.

"Hey Bright? You should join us for breakfast! Win is really a great cook!" Luke told me as he eats his breakfast. I already know that! "You're just hungry!" Win said as he rolled his eyes at Luke. Win brought me a plate and motioned me to sit with them and eat.

"Thank you Win!" I said then started to eat my food. Win really is a great cook. He rarely cooks since Mama Dela is always in charge of cooking and it is really good but Win's cooking wouldn't lose to his Mom.

I could see him smiling brightly as he talks to Luke. Something tugs within my chest and somehow I don't understand it. "Oh by the way Bright, would you like to go with us to the theme park? Well I think there's room for more because we lack one more person." Luke said smiling.

"Yeah! You should come with us Bright! We could eat lots of food and have fun with the rid-" Somehow his enthusiasm was cut short. "Are you okay Win?" I tried asking him but he just smiled and said he would be coming to the bathroom.

Now I am stuck with Luke and we continued to eat in silence. I was lost in my thoughts but it was interrupted by Luke. "Prince Charming. I wanted to seriously talk to you." This time I could see the seriousness in his face and I dont like it.

"What is it?" I calmly asked him as I stopped eating. "I just wanted you to know that I will seriously pursue Win starting now. I backed down before because I knew you were his happiness but there's no way you could give that to him." He said while looking straight at me in the eyes.

"Is that a joke? And did you seriously believe that I would just willingly let you have my little brother like that!?" I answered raising my voice a little. I couldn't help but feel angry at his words.

I have always been the one with Win. I know that I make him happy. Now that I am his elder brother I would never let this bastard have his way with Win. He looks at me dejectedly. "You still don't understand a single thing dont you Prince. However as Win's Knight I swore to protect his smiles."

I was about to answer but Win came back looking like he just cried. "I'm sorry Win. If I knew I shouldn't have- "I dont know why he is apologizing but he was cut offed by Win. He then looked at me and spoke.

"P'Bright, would it be okay if you let me and P'Luke go alone this time." Hearing those words from Win, feels like I being splashed with a bucket of cold water unprepared. "I guess we could go there again next weekend with Frank but right now I want to do it alone with P'Luke." He continued.

"Oh, is that so? Well I hope you'll enjoy and don't forget to buy me some souvenirs okay!" I tried my best to smile while anwering him but my heart feels like it was torn into pieces.

Win just smiled back and told Luke that after eating He would just do the dishes and they would be going."It's okay Win. I'll just be the one to wash the dishes. I could also do house sitting for you. You see I don't have anything to do today." I said to him.

"Are you sure P'Bright?" It's kinda weird hearing him call me Phi so maybe I should just let him call me by my name like before. "Yeah and you don't have to call me Phi anymore. It sounds weird."

"But you wanted to be called like that remember? And we are brothers so I guess it is more appropriate." He answers. "It's just that... Uh nevermind." I just shook my head and Bid them goodbye. I glared at Luke but he just looked at me and smiled bitterly.

I still couldn't get out of my head why Win suddenly looked like crying. One moment he was enthusiastic about me coming with them to eat lots of foods and then about rides.

Rides. How could I ever forget. He is still hurt by my actions during the school festival last year. Right now it has been more complicated that we are brothers. I knew I wanted him to call me Phi before but now that he does I dont want it.

I just wanted to be with him for today. How did it turned out to be like this. I was supposed to be the one with him today. The one to make him laugh. To treat him lots of foods. The one to go to the rided with him.

I was the one he loved.

I spent the next hours thinking about Win. I knew I should let him try to find love on his own but seeing him with Luke breaks my heart. I wanted him all by myself. I want to hug him. To make him smile. To spoil him with foods. To make more memories with him.

I want him to love me like he did before
