Chapter 9
I'm from school.
There's someone sleeping on the couch. Who is it? He's about fifteen.
"Who're you? Are you someone's girlfriend?" said the boy
"N-no. I'm-"
"So you're just a thief?"
"I'm not a thief!"
"How dare you raise your voice. Don't you know who I am?"
"Don't you know who I am?"
"So you're challenging me, idiot?"
"Goddammit! I'm not an idiot!"
"Now Fuuto, you're being rude to your sister." said Ukyo-san
"Kyo-nii, this is our sister? What an idiot she is. And rude."
"Like I said, I'm not an idiot! And excuse you, I'm not part of me is being rude, huh?"
"Forgive him, kanojo, for being rude. He's not always with us since he's an idol." said Ukyo-san
"I understand."
That brat is my brother?! I am totally NOT liking this.
"I'm going first, my idiot sister."
THAT BRAT!
"Chi." called Louis-san
"Louis-san! Hi there!"
"Chi… actually I wanted to practice a certain hairstyle for a customer. Can I do it on you?"
"Ah… is that so. It's fine, if I can be a big help."
"Thank you, Chi."
Louis-san is so amazing. The way he handles hair is so gentle. He really is a professional.
"Eh? Chi-chan, why are you laughing? Is something on my face?"
"No no. That's not it. I just love the fact you're so passionate about this. I love the look in your eyes. It seems you're enjoying this."
"Of course Chi-chan. Do the things that makes you happy. Chi-chan, if you take things half-heartedly, you won't be able to be happy deep down from your heart. That's why, it's better to do the things that makes you happy because I love seeing you smile, Chi-chan."
"Louis-san… thank you."
"Your hair is done."
Wow. Louis-san is amazing. My hair… it's pretty. It's like I'm a new person.
Chi-chan, I'm just gonna put my things back in my room, okay?"
My hair is so pretty…
"Onee-san, is that you?" said Fuuto-kun
"Fuuto-kun…"
"I never knew onee-san is this pretty. Did you arrange your hair?"
"Ah, Louis-san did."
"Seriously, onee-san you're so pretty.", "Be mine. Mine alone." Fuuto whispered in my ear
I blushed
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're really an idiot, onee-san! There's no way I'd say that to you! Not in a million years! Bye, my idiot onee-san." said Fuuto
That Fuuto Brat. The next time he calls me an idiot, I'll strangle him to death. Just you wait, Asahina Fuuto.
Calm down. Calm down, Ema. Be calm. Nothing will go wrong once again. I should act like a mature person.
"Kanojo, can you please cook dinner for us. I'll ask Subaru to help you. I have to go to a meeting. I'm terribly sorry for pushing to into this." Said Ukyo-san
"No, it's fine. I'm glad I can be a help."
"Thank you, I have to go now. I'll eat outside, so don't prepare food for me." Said Ukyo-san
What should I cook. I opened the refrigerator too look at the ingredients. Okay, there's potatoes, carrots, chicken, some spices. I think I should cook chicken curry.
"Ah kanojo, let me help you." Said Subaru-san
"Thank you."
"So, what will we cook?" asked Subaru-san
"I'm thinking of chicken curry. What do you think?"
"Chicken curry sounds good."
"Then chicken curry it is."
"What can I do to help you?"
"Um, you can slice the potatoes and the carrots. I'll handle the chicken."
"Okay."
So we started doing what we should do. Awkwardness. This is so awkward. Should I start a conversation? Or nah? Fine. I can't be in this awkward situation, I'll start a conversation.
"Subaru-san, how's basketball?" I asked
"Oh. It's fine. I'm doing great. Practice is hard, but I'm sure hardwork never betrays. Soon, the matches in the stadium will begin, so we have to work really hard."
"I see. You're working really hard."
"How about you? How are you doing?" Subaru-san asked
"I'm fine. I'm having lots of fun living in this house. It's really good to have brothers."
"I see. That's great."
"Oh my. Did I interrupt your precious lovey-dovey time?" said Fuuto-san who interrupted our conversation.
"Fuuto. Stop that." Said Subaru-san
"What? Because I hit the bullseye?" replied Fuuto-san
"Be careful who you're talking to, Asahina Fuuto." Said Subaru-san
"Ok ok, that's enough. Look the curry's already cooked. I'll prepare the plates, you guys call your brothers."
"Ittadakimasu!" We said in unison.
"As expected, onee-san's cooking is the best!" said Wataru-chan
"It's really delicious, kanojo." Said Azusa-san
"I agree!" said Tsubaki-san
"Are you serious? Her curry tastes so plain." said Fuuto-kun
"Then don't eat it." I said
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Fuuto-san wasn't able to give a reply. Take that!
"How can you be so mean, Fuuto?" said Louis-san
"That Fuuto is really getting on my nerves!" said Juli
"Juli, calm down." I whispered to him.
After eating, I washed the plates and went to bed. So here's the things I learned/realized today.
Fuuto's a brat.
I hate Fuuto.
Just be mean to Fuuto and he won't be able to give you any smart replies.
My brothers love curry.
Wataru-chan is still cute as ever.
I feel happy when my brothers defended me from Fuuto.
Subaru-san is good at chopping vegetables.
Iori-san is still being a quiet man and at the same time he's still anti-social (a bit, I guess?)
Juli haven't calmed down yet.
10. I guess my brothers doesn't know I play the piano.
Fuyu-chan, are you watching me today? I hope you're happy up there. Watch over me always, okay?
