Chapter 4. Hong Kong

The Cantonese boy sighed out loud. He was definitively not excited about the Westerners. Maybe slightly annoyed, but not excited. He could exactly figure how his monotone and solitary daily routine would be ruined by social gatherings with the Europeans. "Why would even those Westerners want to, like, visit China?" He thought to himself.

He rolled his amberish eyes, already exhausted by only thinking of them.

He took a manga comic he had take from Japan's room from behind his bed. It was a rated-18 yaoi one, Japan would kill him if he found out Hong Kong stole it. Of course, he was going to put it back in Japan's room when he finished it.

Hong Kong knew he was attracted to other boys. He had found it out reading Japan's doujinshis. All his family knew though, it was nothing new among the Asian family.

Hong Kong started looking through the pages of the manga, trying so hard not to start nose-bleeding. It sometimes happened while reading those. Well, reading. Since they were in Japanese, language he barely understood, the boy just looked through the drawings.

He heard a knock in his door. He shook his head, getting rid of his blush, as he slipped the R-18 under his bed really quick.

-Y-Yeah? Enter

-Hong Kong?~

A cute feminine voice spoke.

-Yeah, Taiwan, tell me...

-Would you help choose... -She noticed the boy's remaining blush- Oh, were you reading those mangas again?~ -She asked with a giggle

-Shh! -The Cantonese hissed, then whispered- Yes, I was. Please don't, like, tell Japan or anything...

-I won't~ But only if you let me read them later.

The boy was surprised, but didn't show it in the outside.

-Okey, I will. Not tell me, why did you come?

-I need you to help me choose a cute outfit to welcome the Europeans!~

Hong Kong sighed loudly

-Does it have to be me...?

-Yeah! -She clutched into the sleeve of his Mandarin jacket- China and Japan are watching a movie, and Korea is taking a nap! You're the only sibling left to help this poor girl!

She stared at him, whining dramatically. He hissed, shaking her off his sleeve

-Ugh, fine... -He finally agreed.

She squealed and hugged him tightly, before dragging the poor boy to her room.

-·-·-·-·-·-·-

-How is it?

He had already tried around five dresses. All of them pink and frilly, some shorter than others, with long sleeves or without them. This one had a white bow in one side of the waist.

-Taiwan... all those dresses are, like, the same!...

He was already regretting helping her choose. She clutched at her own chest, looking offended.

-The same?!

-Yeah...

Hong Kong got up from the chair Taiwan made him sit on. He started looking through her closet. He grabbed a beautiful, yet as pink as the others, with some golden in it, Asian-styled long dress.

-Try this one

She nodded, amazed by his brother's good taste in girl dresses. She went to change again.
