My Annoying Step-Brother

A/N: Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid.

Rin's POV

Kei's eyes glinted in sadness. "Len's moving to South Korea."

I widened my eyes. "Wh...WHAT?!"

Kei nodded. "He called me while you were washing the dishes."

I swallowed the lump down my throat. This can't be happening. "Is Haneul making him do it?"

He shook his head. "No. Haneul has nothing to do with it. He even said that she tried to stop him."

It was a relief that Haneul wasn't doing anything, but I still felt lost. "W-when is he leaving?"

Kei hesitated. My anticipation grew extremely. He swallowed visually. "To...tomorrow."

I felt like my whole world crashed down on me. All of the things that I've said raced through my mind all at once.

"You're a coward."

"Just stop...please. I don't want to see you anymore. Go away."

"NO! You ruined my life! You ruined it and I can't get it back!"

"I HATE YOU!"

"I have a boyfriend now and I don't need you."

"No. Do me a favor and forget about me. Forget that this ever happened. Then, you can finally be happy."

"Goodbye, Len."

My breathing hitched in my throat. Oh, my God...what have I done?

Kei took this opportunity to talk again from my silence. "It's obvious he's not listening to anyone. He really wants to go to Korea."

I stood from the couch, going to the door.

Kei followed after me. "Wait, Rin-chan! Where are you going?"

I turned to him. "I'm going to stop Len from doing such an idiotic thing!"

Kei put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it. "But...isn't this what you wanted? For him to finally leave you alone?"

I froze. I didn't really mean those words, right? I couldn't have.

No. Whatever the case was, I'm going to stop Len from moving all the way to Korea. He's being stupid and not thinking straight. Like always.

I shrugged off Kei's hand. "I don't care what I wanted. I'm going to talk some sense into him."

Kei blinked.

"Do you know where he is now?" I asked impatiently.

"A-at the hotel," he stammered.

I nodded and grabbed all of my things.

"Are you really going to do this, Rin-chan?" Kei called behind me.

I went over to the door and slipped on some sneakers because I know I'm going to be running all day. I looked over my shoulder with pursed lips. "Yes. Because I love him." And, I rushed out of the house.

I ran all the way to Len's hotel which was a good three miles away. Thanks to taking track in school, it wasn't a big deal.

I entered the hotel and ran past the lady behind the counter. She was probably wondering where I was going and why, but it didn't matter.

I finally arrived in front of Room 78. I didn't bother to knock as I opened the unlocked door. My eyes connected with Len packing his clothes in a suitcase. I froze. He's really doing it.

"I knew you were coming," he muttered.

I closed the door. "Is that why you kept the door unlocked?"

"No. I just forgot to lock it." He shrugged.

I rolled my eyes. Of course an idiot like him would forget to lock his door.

I walked over to him and watched him pack his clothes. "You're moving?"

"Yep," he breathed. "The girl that I really love is no longer interested in me and told me to fuck off. There's no reason for me to here anymore. So…"

I shook my head. "I wonder who that girl is."

Len stole a glance at me and I noticed how bloodshot his eyes were. He looked back to his suitcase. "Go away, Rin. I thought you hated me."

He tried to zip his suitcase but I placed my hand on his wrist to stop him. "You're being stupid. Why the hell are you moving to South Korea?!" I yelled.

Len's eyes wavered for a bit before he closed them. "I have no reason to be here anymore. I want to start a new life and-"

"You're an idiot." My voice sounded harsh, but I didn't care. "You're giving up everything you've have and ever will have because of me? I swear to God! Why are you so...so...stupid?! What are you afraid of?!"

He was quiet for a few seconds. "...Of hurting you, Rin."

Even though he said that so many times, my heart started to pound frantically in my chest. "Why are you…" My voice trailed off. My hold on his wrist grew weaker until I finally let go of it.

Len's lips stretched in a weak smile that broke my heart. "I'm going to leave you alone, like how you wanted me to. I'm going to be somewhere far away. You'll never see me again. I'll make your wish come true."

His words struck me greater than a lightening bolt. I won't deny that I said all of that. And, I won't deny that I meant it at the moment.

"Look, Len…"

"Don't try to say anything to make me want to stop doing this, Rin," Len cut in, grabbing my hand. I missed this sensation that he gave me just by touching my skin. "I've been thinking about this ever since that day we spent together. I thought so much on your words, and I get it. You hate me."

I widened my eyes. "No, I don't Len. Please."

Len's eyes darkened. "What did you want to really say to replace it? 'Hate is such a strong word, Len. Don't believe me.' Is that what you were going to say? If you're trying to make me feel better, it's not working."

Tears started to swell in my eyes. At that moment, I wanted to go back in time and slap myself for saying such cruel things towards him. Sooner or later, my words were going to backfire on me. "Don't resort to moving all the way to Korea, Len."

"Why do you even care?"

I swallowed. "Because...I love you."

I know I hit a sweet spot because Len's eyes widened for a split second. "You don't mean it, Rin…"

I squeezed his hand. "I've always loved you, Len! I was pissed at you that day, and we all know that! Whether I have feelings for you or not, I would've still shouted at you. No matter what happens, I know that I'll still love you."

Len stared at me.

I stared back.

"There's no way that I can stay here, Rin."

"Why not?"

Len sighed. "There's a company in Seoul that has offered me a once in a lifetime deal. They want me to become a choreographer for the Korean idols that are working at their company. If I turn that down, I wouldn't know what to do. Ever since I was young, I wanted to be a professional dancer. This is my chance to be what I wanted to be for fifteen years. I can't turn it down. I'm sorry."

My breathing seemed to stop. Even if Len wanted to stay here, he can't because his future is on the line. It's not really about me anymore. It's about his future.

Then, my mouth started to move on its own. "Can I come with you?"

Len blinked before his eyes widened. "W-what?"

I thought over my words. "I want to come with you, Len. I want to be with you forever. Whether you'll like it or not. I want to prove to you that I still love you. You'll just have to believe me."

Len stared into my eyes as if to see if there's any disbelief there. "Do you really want to do this?"

I nodded in determination. "Yes, I do."

He let out a breath. "Here's what I'll do. I'll cancel my flight for tomorrow and put it up at the end of this week. So, you'll have three days to decide if you really want to do this or not. If you have your answer, tell me immediately. Okay?"

I pondered his statement. Do I really want to move to South Korea with Len and live there for the rest of my life? What happens if Len fails as a choreographer? What will we do then? What about everyone we're leaving behind? What would they think?

So many questions with so many unsolved answers.

I let go of his hand with an exhale. "Alright...Thank you, Len."

"Don't thank me, Rin. There's no reason to."

I nodded, thinking he's right. "I'll be going now."

"See you until next time."

I waved and went my way.

I decided to take a train back to Kei's house. On the train, I could really think about my actions.

Yet the same question still remains.

Do I really want to do this?

"Well, well, well?! Did you convince Len to stay?!" Kei asked eagerly with Haneul beside him.

I sipped at my iced tea and shook my head. "Nope."

Kei and Haneul groaned. "What did you do then?"

I shrugged. I didn't really want to tell them about what Len and I discussed at his hotel yet. I still didn't have my answer, so it'll be pointless if I said something.

We were currently at Vocaloid Cafe. Kei wanted to invite Haneul with us so she can be caught up on the news. I guess Vocaloid Cafe is our new hang-out.

"Tell us, Rin-unnie~" Haneul begged.

"I'll say something later. As of now, it's a secret," I informed, still sipping at the tea.

"UGGGH!"

I couldn't help but snicker.

"Well...do you know why Len's going to Korea in the first place?" Kei asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah. There's this company that's offering him a job opening as a dance choreographer. He said that he wants to take it because it's a once in a lifetime type of thing."

"So...it's not because of you. It's because of his future?" Haneul said with a raised eyebrow.

"Exactly."

"That's a bit...selfish of him. He's leaving everything he has - his friends, his family - just for...that," Kei muttered, scratching his cheek.

I inhaled. "I can't blame him, Kei. I would do the same thing."

Haneul cut in, "But at least you would tell everyone, right?"

I shrugged. "More or less."

"Len is such a difficult puzzle to solve!" Kei exclaimed, throwing his hands up.

I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

So, two days passed.

There was only more day for me to decide, and I think I finally have my answer.

I haven't told anyone yet about my sudden thought of moving to Korea. I would always sneak out late at night at Kei's house to pack my things in the Beach House. If Kei would've caught me, he would ask way too many questions.

I had to be as discreet as possible.

Once I was finished packing all of my things that I had to stay at the Beach House, I pulled on some clothes. It was knee-length brown shorts and a simple white T-shirt. I put my hair in a loose bun.

When I was done, I ran out of the house and made my way to the hotel.

Finally, I arrived in front of Room 78. I knocked.

"Come in," I heard Len call from the inside.

I opened the door slowly and peered inside. All of the things in the room was gone except for the hotel's belongings. I closed the door behind me and stood in front of Len.

"You have your answer?" he questioned, crossing his arms.

I took in a breath. "Yes."

"Well?"

"I'll go...with you to South Korea."

Len blinked, as if shocked about my answer. "Rin...There's no going back."

"I don't want to go back. I want to stay with you, Len." My eyes softened as I took a step closer to him.

"Have you told anyone?"

"No," I answered quickly. "Have you?"

Len smiled at me. It was genuine smile that I haven't seen in so long! "We're keeping it a secret."

"I'll feel like I betrayed everyone, though." I put my lips in a straight line.

He chuckled. "We'll visit them. Eventually."

I laughed at the word 'Eventually.' "Okay, okay, Mr. Eventually!"

We both laughed together. And, it felt good.

"I've missed you," Len said when we were both laying down on the hotel bed.

"I know," I sighed.

"Did you miss me?"

I laughed. "Oh, my God. This reminds me of when we went to the park that day with Haneul and Kei!"

Len nodded, wrapping an arm around my waist. He dragged me closer to his chest and I blushed. "I remember that day."

"What were you thinking?" I wondered with a pink face. I hope he doesn't notice it.

"I really did miss you. I just didn't want to say it."

I shook my head. "Your pride wasn't doing you any justice that day."

He laughed. His chest vibrated. "I know~! I wanted to seem like those tough guys in J-Dramas and anime!"

"Don't do that ever again."

"O-okay…"

I laughed some more. I haven't laughed this much ever since Len started being a bitch to me.

I can't be happier.

It was the end of the week.

Len and I had our suitcases in one hand and our passports in the other.

We were at the airport, ready to head to Seoul, Korea. My lips were stretched in such a wide grin that it hurt.

The flight leaves at 3:35 P.M. It was currently 3:20 P.M.

My adrenaline rushed through my veins as the ticking seconds pained me.

Len glanced at me with a smile as wide as mine. "Are you excited, Rin?"

I nodded frantically. "Yes! Can we go already?"

"They have to check me off."

"Hurry up then!"

When they were done checking Len off, whatever that means, he looked back at me. He took in multiple breaths as his chest heaved up and down.

"Ready to run now, Rin?"

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Many people didn't want Rin and Len together. Some people did. I was confused :(

Even though Rin and Len are together, it doesn't mean that it's the end. Stay tuned!

And, this is my most reviewed story! I never thought a story of mine could pass "Love is War", but it did! I'm very happy :'D

Very important! I'm going to be going to Mexico to visit my family in a couple of days, so I won't be able to update for about a week or so. Please wait for me~!
