Niichan became cold at me for the next days. Why? Is there something wrong that I have said?

Then our parents announced that they will be gone for a month or two. It was their honeymoon and they are going overseas. They will leave us with enough money and they know that we are responsible enough to take care for ourselves. Actually, I don’t want that, especially now that niichan seems so angry at me. But we have no choice, I don’t want to be a hindrance to my mother.

The day of their departure arrived. We were left alone in the house. Well there is nothing particular that happened. The normal usual routine. I missed my mother and my stepfather. I don’t have anyone to talk in the house so usually I am calling my close friends to have someone to talk. Niichan is still ignoring me but I kept on asking him what is the matter but of course he never replies.

Andone day… I gathered my courage and go to my niichan’s room. He is studying, oh I forgot to tell you, my niichan is very intelligent. It was really a sad thing that his recitation and participation grades are low. Then, I sit in his bed and talk to him.

“You know niichan, I don’t know what is bothering you. Is it my senpai? Are you jealous of him?” --- he shot me a death stare! OMG what am I asking but I still continue to

“Hey Yuri-niichan, I know you are jealous… What can I do? He is my first love! Oh I get it, you want all of my attention right? So you are not only jealous? You are also selfish…” --- what am I saying? And there! Another death stare!!! I know Ishoud stop but I want to clear our misunderstandings.

“Ne Niichan, do you know how much I love you? The first time I met you I said to myself ‘what a cute being!’ It’s true! I told myself that I am lucky that I have you as my brother. Even though you always ignored me, you have a special place here in my heart, and no one will ever take that place because you… You are very special to me”

WAAAH! What am I saying? I just said my true feelings without me realizing it. I don’t know what kind of death stare will be awaiting for me when I look at my brother. And when I looked, I saw it… A very beautiful thing… My heart throbs very fast…

Because…

Because…

Because Yuri-niichan is smiling very brightly at me!
