Mayu POV
"Sae-nii wait for me." I approch him and cling into his arms.
Well, this is my brother. His name is Sae. You know, he actually not my real brother. Since I was a kid I want to have a big brother. I told to my mother and then there he came to the family. My parents addopted him, so he is my big brother now. Eventhough we arent blood related he really love me. He always takes care of me. He will always be my side when I need him. He is such a good brother I love him.
Now we are in the same highschool. I'm in the 1st year and he is in the 3rd year. Soon he will graduate. If I think about it I feel my heart is hurt. He will go to the university and leave me alone. I have talk to him about this and he promise me that he will visit me everyday, atleast call me.
Sae POV
"Mayu-chan, hurry up or we'll be late." I call her and she imidiately come forward me and cling into my arms. such a cute girl.
Okay, this cute girl that clinging into my arm is my little sister. her name is mayuyu. well, actually we arent blood related. I'm not her real brother. her parents adopted me when I was a kid. I come to the family around 10 years ago. her parents said that she really want a big brother so I accepted to be adopted. Since the first time I meet her she already takes my heart. I love her and I wanna be a good big brother for her. But I'm not a great brother as she has thinks. I've got a secret. A Big secret that maybe if she founds out she will hate me for her entire life. But I'll keep it until the end of my life. I dont want to hurt her feeling.
"Ne , niichan? what's happend? it's still morning and you have already day dreaming." she looks at me and giggling. Well, it's look like I'm a bit in my own world before. I look at her and just smile at her "Nothing really. I just a bit sleepy. I dont have enough sleep last night. you know, all this school things make me frustrate." I shake my head and pout. she then give me her bright smile and we continue to walk to school. Well my school is not too far away from my house.
Not long we already arrive at school. In the front gate my best friends already waiting for me. There are Takamina, Atsuko, Haruki, Yuko and Mii-kun. We always wait for each other before come in to class. I also see Lovetan, Nacchan and Harugon in there. They are Mayu's bestfriends. They wave to us and we reply.
"Yoooooo... Ohayou! and how is the little princess in here? this is your first day isn't it mayu?" mii-kun greet us and try to flirt with mayu.
"Ohayou Mii-kun! and dont you try to flirt with my sisters. She is still in the first years." I smirk on him and they all just laugh.
"Araa...araa...looks like Sae-kun is in the bodyguard mode ne minami?"
"Hahahaha... sure he is. And wait, who are the girls sae?"
"Owgh, they are Mayu-chan best friends. I bet you havent meet them."
Mayu and her friends then approach us and she introduce their to them.
"This is my bestfriends Lovetan, Nacchan and Harugon."
"Nice to meet you all senpai." they bow and smile to them
"Ooooh... they all kawaii..."
"Yeah...yeah... you right Mii-kun."
"Uhm... I also agree to you Haruki."
Acchan then look at minami with cold eyes. but minami just ignore and keep on talking.
"But.. well yeah, acchan still the most kawaii." when hearing that acchan stop staring at minami and blush. we just chuckle and on the other hand yuko just suddenly cling in haruki hands. well maybe she just a bit jealous. oh yeah almost forget this 4 of my friends are a bit strange. why? coz I know they like each other but never say it to each other. there are sometimes a bit awkward silent between then and Mii-kun is the one who will break it.
"Owgh... come on guy's give me a little chance. I havent got a partner yet." Mii-kun said as smile to them.
"So, guys let's go to the class then. It's almost the time." I look at the watch and then begin to go with my friends.
"Ah, yeah you right sae-nii. I'll go with my friends now. I'll catch up with you later." Mayu excuse to me and go with her friends.
"Come on, let's go! We also better get going." I go with my friends to my class then.
After I arrive I put my bag and sit in my desk. Mii-kun approach me and talk to me. "So sae, have you talk about it to mayu?" he sit beside me and looks so serious
"No, I havent." I scratch my head and look down.
"I know it must be difficult for you since you are so close with your sister but if you not tell her imidiately she could found out by herself and it's not gonna be good I think."
I look at him and take a deep breathe "Yeah, you right. But I havent apply to there. I still thinking."
"Uhm... I see. But it's a good chance sae. I know your talent and you could do that. Just think about that."
"yeah I will." I nodded.
the bell rangs, all the student come in to the class. The teacher then come. My mind still thinking to what Mii-kun said. and suddenly the teacher announce something
"Okay class, Ohayou! Today we will began our new semester. You already in 3rd year now. Please do as well as you can coz the graduation is waiting."
We all pay attention to what Togasaki sensei said. Togasaki is our home room teacher for this term.
"Today, I'll introduce you to someone. She has just move here so be nice with her. Please come in and Introduce yourself." togasaki sensei then let the new student come in. I look at her and my eyes widen she is...
"Good Morning guy's. My name is Kashiwagi Yuki. Nice to meet you all."
I froze in my desk and look at her

My brother love me and He havent think about to have a girlfriend yet." "Really? Too bad. But dont you ever think that your brother might have like someone but he just have to let go just for you?" "Uhm... I never think that." 'Yes it's true that my brother never have a girlfriend. he always stay by side. I wonder what will happend if he got one. Will he still remember me?'

"Okay yuki-chan please have a sit. Uhm... you could sit beside watanabe san."
'whattttt?' I got shock and gulp. You wanna know why I'm in horror? Let me tell you. Yuki is my bestfriend in the orphand. she got adopted when I still in the orphand. She know me and it means she knows my big Secret. But it's already long time. will she stil remember me? she come to the desk beside me. She sit and then look at me with a gently smile. I wonder what it's mean until she talk to me with a lower tone. "You are change a lot. I miss you sae-chan." I froze in my place cant said anything 'Shimatta ... She remember me.'
class started but I cant consentrate. during the lesson I keep thinking and thinking. what should I do. what if my secret is reveal? I know Yuki dont know anything about my situation now. She is my bestfriend and she will always be. But she also could be a time bomb for my relation with Mayu. I keep thinking and thinking until I'm not relize that it's already lunch time. The bell rang unfortunately minami, acchan , yuko, haruki and mii-kun have something to do and go out first. I'm in class now with Yuki. Yuki then greet me.
"Is this really you?" she ask me and I give her a big smile "Yeah, it's me. Long time no see yuki chan." She stare at me give me a full confuse look. "But, why you..." I look at her "I know what you wanna say yuki. and you must be so curious why I dress like this. Let's go out and I'll tell you everything." we go to the roof top when there weren't anyone. I told her my situation and condition now. she looks suprise but she then smile and promise will keep the secret.
"So, thats why you look scare when looking at me."
"hahaha... yeah... sorry for that. to be honest I really miss you Yuki."
Yuki move closer , grabs my hand and look into my eyes. "really? I'm glad. I thought you will hate me because I leave you alone before." she look sad and her head looking down now. I then come closer to her and hug her. "I will never hate you yuki." "thanks you sae." she hug me back. and then I relize something. "OMG, I must go now Mayu must be looking for me." looking me confusely I told her "Mayu is my little princess." she smile and walk together with me. We headed to the class and there already Mayu and the others. I call her then.
"Mayu-chan, sorry! I have something to do." I said to her. She look at me and notice Yuki presence "Something to do? With her?" I look at her and she look at Yuki with a cold gaze. She must be jealous "Owgh, yeah, I'm just accompany her to look around the school she is new student and also my old friends." Yuki then Introduce herself to Mayu "Hai, I'm Kashiwagi Yuki. You must be mayu-chan. sae-kun have told me about dont worry I'm not your brother girlfriends." she chukkle and I could see Mayu smiling at her.
"It's okay if you are his girlfriends. My brother really suck in attract a girl." mayu try to teas me "Oh yeah? You just dont know how popular your brother is. you also havent got boyfriend yet." she then pout to me "How could I find a boyfriend if you keeping glare at every boys that try to make friends with me." "well... I... I..." Then I hear yuki laughing at us "You two really close to each other." I and Mayu blushed. We act childish. After that the bell rangs and we come back to class and continue the lesson.
Time past away and I dont relize it's been almost the Final Exam for the 3rd year student. during that time me and yuki become closer and closer. she help me in study, we have fun together etc. she is such a nice girl. but there is something bothering me. since that I feel like Mayu act strange. Somehow she is now keep a distance from me. she usually wait for me after school and have a lunch together. I ask lovetan about it but she also dont have any clue. In front of them Mayu act as usual. But harugon then said that she feels Mayu hide something. At home she usually come to study with me but now after dinner she just go to her room and stay in there. I have tried to knock her door but no answer. I thought she has already slept so I dont want to bother her. It's all make me frustrate, did I have done something wrong? or is she already have someone that could replace me? I hate to think about it. I hate to think that I'm no one for her anymore. I cant keep this happend I should talk to her no matter what will happend and I have to tell her something before I go. It's about my secret. My parents told me to tell her about it coz lie wouldnt solve anything.

Mayu POV
Time move really fast and I dont relize it's been almost the Final Exam for the 3rd year it means that the time for me to be together with my brother almost over and before that I wanna do something for him. He has already taken care of me. He always beside me. But I wonder if he has thought about himself. Lovetan question before make me realize something I'm to depend to my sae-nii so he cant go through his live like other boys. hanging out with friends, have a girlfriends etc. And finally now I know what I have to do. I will keep a distance from him know. I wanna he enjoys his live. Especially since Yuki-san comes. I could look that yuki-san like my brother since the first time I meet her. She is my brother childhood friend maybe she already like him since they were kid. Yuki-san also a good girl I'm sure she will fit to be my brother girlfriend. so, since then I started my plan. I never wait for my brother after school, I never have lunch together anymore with him and at home I try to avoid him. I thought it would be a great idea but it not gone well...for me... At school without he notice I saw he and Yuki-san from far a distance where they couldnt notice me. Everytime I look at them I feel my heart is icchi. It's hurt. I could look Yuki-san walk hand to hand with sae-nii. They talk, walk, eat together. part of my self screaming and want to say 'it suppose to be me in there...' I feel really jealous. I wanna be with my brother. that what I feel before but then I realize something. A couple of day before, Unaccidently I saw Yuki-san kiss my brother. I froze and wanted to cry. Eventhough it only in his cheek but somehow it still hurt. I want scream 'Dont take away him from me.' but I cant. I run as far as I can. Leave them alone. then I meet minami-san. He looks at me and ask me what happend.
"Mayu-chan?what happend?why are you crying?" he looks really worried and guide me to the bench to sit. "Ssshhh... dont cry... if you cry your brother will be sad. You know how much he care for you right? Tell me whats wrong? maybe I could help you?" I then begin calmdown and talk to him.
"Ne minami-san? Have you ever feel something wrong with you when you look at your closest person not around you?" he thinking and look at me then.
"Uhm... yess I have. Why you asking that Mayu-chan?" he looks questionaly to me "How is it it feel?" I ask him "It feel alone and frustrate." I keep asking him "And how is it feel when you look that person with other person walk hand to hand and spend time together?" "Well, aaa...uhm.. I feell really jealous ofcourse. Infact it hurts a lot." he said that to me. I just keep silent but then he talk to me.
"Uhm... listen to me Mayu-chan. I know I dont know anything about what have happend but let me tell you something. When you like or love someone you never could realize it until that person is away from you. When that time come you should look deep into your heart and be honest with that feeling." after saying that he smiles to me. Then his phone ring and he axcuse himself. "Thanks lot minami-san." "You are welcome Mayu-chan." I then go back home change my cloth and have dinner. After that I go to my room then I heard someone knock my door. It is sae-nii. I just stay and keep silent. No answer from me sae-nii leave. I really wanna open the door but i cant. Especially when I already find out my true feeling is. I realize that I like him. I like him more then a brother. I love him.
