My Annoying Step-Brother

A/N: Yay, chapter 15~!

Please read the A/N at the end.

Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid.

Len's POV

The conversation that I had with Rin that morning really stuck to me. I didn't realize what got into me at that moment. The words kept spilling out.

No matter how true they were.

Yes, it's true. I didn't feel the same way like how I did two weeks ago. I don't think about Rin 24/7 now. And, I definitely don't want to go through that bullshit like how I did two weeks ago.

I guess I just didn't want to deal with her anymore.

I'm sorry for sounding like a horrible person. I just couldn't do it anymore. It's like quitting a job! You're quitting your job because you're tired from it (or some other reason), just like how I'm "quitting" from Rin.

Same difference.

So, that next day, Haneul came over to the hotel, wondering if Rin was alright. I told her to not worry about it, and I didn't say anything else. I couldn't say the part about Rin wanting to "fight for me."

Haneul left it alone.

That afternoon, I got a text from Leon.

To: Len Kagamine

From: Leon

Hey. You should go to the studio. It's unflooded. Besides, Rei is gone and I don't have anyone to talk to. See you there.

I shrugged. I figured that Rin wouldn't be there because she was probably balling her eyes out.

And, I threw on some sweats with a T-shirt. I didn't want to dance. My body felt stiff from last night's events. I'll just stand around, watch for an hour, and walk out.

I hauled a limo after telling Haneul that I'll be back for dinner. She gave me a quick peck on the cheek with a smile. "Have fun, Oppa!" She waved.

God, can she get anymore cute?!

Anyway, I had a friend who's coming from Tokyo and decided to come down here (Crypton is his hometown) for a vacation. He's the best dancer in Asia - in my opinion - and I'm still shocked that he accepted me as his friend.

So, Kei Yamamoto piled into the limo with me when the chauffeur picked him up. He grinned at me. "Yo, Len!"

I smiled. "Hey! You ready?"

Kei nods. "Yep. I can't wait to show these rookies what's up!"

I laughed.

Soon, we arrived at the studio a few minutes later. I open the door for him and he laughs at me. "Such a gentlemen!" Kei exclaims.

I grin. "My pleasure."

Then, my world was crushed down.

Rin Kagene was here with a bright smile on her face.

I ignored her as I high-fived Gakupo. Why did you do that?

But, when we made eye contact, I had to tell myself to stop. And now. I quickly looked away, and she looked heart-broken.

Try not to care, Len. Just try.

When Meiko asked me who Kei was, I introduced him to everyone. I made a mental note to not even look at Rin once. Hopefully she'll get a hint and leave me alone.

That's until Kei bounced over to Rin, sitting in between Lola and the Kagene. I watched him get his "flirt-on" with the blonde. She looked uncomfortable, and I felt...relieved.

Until Kei grabbed her wrist and dragged her up, saying that Rin was going to dance. My heart started to fasten as its pace. I've never really seen Rin dance before.

This is going to be interesting.

And, she started. I was overwhelmed by her fluid movements.

And, at that moment...I liked the feeling of my stomach churning from the thought of her.

I was sad when she was done, but I didn't show it. Instead, I took out my phone and decided to text Haneul.

"That was so awesome, Rin-chan! I'm already in love with you," Kei said, wrapping his arms around her. I watched her pry his arms off of her and I chuckled silently.

Trying not to flirt in front of me. Aren't you loyal to your word, Rin?

Suddenly, she goes over to me with a tired smile on her face. Kaito tossed her a water bottle and she started to gulp it down. I ignored her as best as I could. "W-what do you think, Len?"

Be as rude as possible.

I scoffed. "Why are you even speaking to me?"

Her eyes widened. "I-"

"Forget it," I cut in, raising my hand. "I'm leaving anyway. Bye." I waved to everyone before walking out of this stuffy studio.

While Rin was dancing, I called a limo ahead of time. I knew that I would be getting out of here earlier than expected.

"Fine!" I heard Rin exclaim behind me.

I quickly piled in the limo. "Step on it!" I order, and the chauffeur does so. We pass Rin by who had a surprised look on her face.

I couldn't help but look back.

She was in Kei's arms.

Crying her eyes out.

And...I felt guiltier than ever.

When I got to the hotel, I just collapsed on the bed. I'm such an idiot!

Soon...Rin is going to stop at her "fighting." I'm going to be left crushed. She's going to go after Kei. And, I may just kill myself after that happens.

I hate this so fucking much.

I sniffled, feeling the tears coming. What happens if I'm too late to apologize to Rin and she doesn't accept it?

This all is going to backfire on me - I just know it!

But, I promised myself not to see Rin.

Not now.

Not for a long time.

But, after I noted that, I heard my phone buzz. I take it reluctantly, sliding it open.

A text.

And from none other than Rin.

I'm just going to read it. Not reply.

To: Len Kagamine

From: Rin Kagene

Hey. How are you? I hope you're still in good shape - you and your girlfriend.

I stopped, wrinkling my nose.

I continued reading.

I've been strong - for only thirty minutes though XD

I finally know your pain, Len. How you've been waiting for me. Now, I'm waiting for you.

God, how I wish I could see your smile again.

No, it's decided.

I'm going over there. Whether that girl is there or not.

Bye! :D

I widened my eyes. No! She can't come over here! I can't see her!

Just on cue, the doorbell rings. I gulped deeply, slowly walking over to the door. I opened it, only to see Haneul.

Thank you, God.

I smiled at her.

"Hey, O-"

She was cut off when my lips landed on hers. She gasped in my mouth, but kissed back after a while. When I was done, she had a flushed face. "H-hey, Oppa," she said breathlessly.

"Hey." I pulled her into the hotel. I need some closure and fast.

Haneul sat on my bed. "So...did you see Rin-unnie?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Rin-unnie?" I was trying not to talk about my meeting with her after what happened last night.

She smiled. "Well, she is older than me! That's what girls call women who are older than them! So, did you see her?"

I lied, "No."

Haneul's smile disappeared. "Don't lie."

I gasped. "I-I'm not lying, Haneul-ah!"

Haneul stood in front of me before looking down at my sweats. Dammit. "You were at the studio, weren't you?" She took a bit of the fabric. "That means that she was there, too."

"No it doesn't," I corrected, taking her hand.

She grinned. "Why are you getting so worked up, then? Just tell me the truth, Len. I won't be mad."

I sighed. "I'm afraid of losing you, Haneul-ah."

Haneul's eyes glinted before her face flushed again. "Oppa…"

"I'm afraid of being alone. I was alone for two weeks before meeting you. I feel complete with you now, Haneul-ah," I said, pushing her down on the bed.

She blinked, watching me hover over her. "That's a lie and you know it, Oppa."

I frowned. "How?"

"You had Rin-unnie with you. She may not have been next to you, but she was in here." She placed her hand over my heart with a smile. I just listened. "You still love her. You may not admit it to yourself, but by the way yours eyes glint when I say her name...I know you love her."

I take in a breath. "Will you leave me?"

She shook her head. "No."

I sighed in relief.

"But!" I stopped. "I'm not leaving you because it won't be good for your mind if I leave you while you're still broken. You still need some closure, don't you?"

I didn't answer.

She grinned. "And, I'm here to help."

I nodded before feeling a smirk on my lips. I placed my hand on her exposed thigh. "Are you even here to help my naughty hands?"

Haneul swallows visually. "O-oppa! Not now! I-I'm not ready."

I rolled my eyes. "Haneul-ah~...What are you thinking in that mind of yours?" I poke her forehead.

She blushed. "V-very lewd things!"

"Oh, God. That kinda turns me on."

She gasps, slapping my chest. "Oppa!"

I laughed.

That next morning, I woke up to find an empty bed. Of course Haneul would've went home when I was asleep. She feels as guilty as me, and I don't blame her.

I sighed. I decided to wash up and just look at some TV. I need time to think - and alone.

Now, I'm glad Haneul went home.

A few hours passed and I got a new text on my phone. I groaned. Please don't be Rin, God!

But, it's not.

It's from Kei.

To: Len Kagamine

From: Kei Yamamoto

Hey, dude! I want to go out today! Bring Hana, or whatever her name is, with you! Let's go to "Vocaloid Cafe" downtown. Be there by 5. See you! :D

Hm.

I was up for some food.

I've only been chewing on chips, trying to recover my broken mind with junk food.

I texted Haneul after I put away the bag of chips.

To: Kim Haneul

From: Len Kagamine

Haneul-ah, come home soon. We're going out to eat with Kei.

I got a response back almost immediately.

To: Len Kagamine

From: Kim Haneul

OK, Oppa! :D

Afterwards, I threw on a flannel shirt with a white undershirt and black jeans. Haneul came back, looking as gorgeous as ever. Even with a simple outfit that she wore (which was skinny jeans and a white blouse with her hair in waves that went down her back), she looked amazing.

How did I pick up such a beautiful girl?

"Are you ready, Len-oppa?" Haneul wondered.

I nodded, taking her hand. "Of course."

We arrived at the cafe a good ten minutes later.

And, I instantly regretted it.

In front of me stood not only Kei.

But, Rin too.

Oh, God.

A/N: CLIFFY!

Man, aren't I the best cliffhanger writer ever?!

Yes, I am!

Okay, this is serious. Please read this.

I have been getting so much hate recently. Like, too much that it makes me dread to see a new review. I can't tell if you like my story or not. There are some that say they like it, there are some giving constructive criticism (which is a good thing, don't get me wrong), and there are some who are just being plain rude.

Guys...please stop. I know that you all are telling me very helpful things. And, I respect that. But...I told everyone to please be patient, yet I still get hate. And, it breaks my heart.

I know that telling everyone to stop will not make them stop. The reviews really make me feel like I failed not only as writing this story, but as an author.

I've been thinking about quitting this story. But, I know that I'll disappoint a lot of people. So, I decided against it.

If you want me to keep trying to make this story the best that I can, show me that you care. A least a little bit.

Then again, I understand that as a writer, I'm going to get hate. No matter how much I please everyone, I'm still going to get it. But, this is way too much.

Think twice before you review this time. Please.

See you in the next chapter.
