In the last five years, Jun has gotten rather familiar with the furthermost corner of the apartment living room. her mother seemed to think the corner would discourage the ten-year-old from picking with her baby brother, but really, the only purpose it served was to annoy her. As if standing in a corner, alone and bored, was going to do anything but get Jun even angrier at Daisuke than she had been in the first place. That was especially true now, since she wasn't allowed any of the cookies she had helped make! Jun was the one who even asked for them in the first place.

Stupid baby, Jun grumbled to herself. She had long since learned not to say anything out loud if she didn't want a spanking on top of the time-out. He never gets in trouble for anything! I'm always the one blamed when he's hurt. Stupid brat.

Jun spent a lot of time complaining in her head. Therefore, she didn't notice her brother standing behind her until she felt the tug on her shirt hem. She turned her head, noticing Daisuke's eyes were wide in panic and he held a finger to his lips as he glanced towards the hallway. There was no sign of their mother, so Jun had to assume she was in that direction. She nodded, curious about what her baby brother was up to. Quickly, Daisuke held up a cookie, a small smile on his face. It was time for Jun's eyes to widened as she realized that her brother had just stolen a cookie for her.

She took it from him with a smile of her own. Maybe that baby was a little less stupid.
