"I heard it's time for your examinations."

A chopstick fell to the floor. "No." Ha Eung glared at his foster brother Yao. "This is blasphemy. I refuse to believe it." Yao crossed his arms. "It is the truth, whether or not you believe it." All of his siblings groaned.

"Time..." Kiku could not believe it. It had seemed like only yesterday when the semesters had begun. Now the midterms were a month away. "Awwww, oppa is such a killjoy!" Ha Yeon glared at Yao. She had been in for dinner, and she had not expected this coming. Leon rolled his eyes. "It's not like we won't study by ourselves! Right?"

There was a pause in which Yao left the room, and returned holding-"Your progress reports arrived."-the dreaded progress reports. Mei squealed as hers were opened. "Mei's is good enough."Yao nodded approvingly. "Hooray!" Kiku's progress report was with the normal As and compliments. "Keep up the good work." Kiku nodded. It wasn't hard. "Ha Eung Lee, your teacher said you..." Yao sighed. "Me what?" "You have problems socializing." "So." The teen started playing with the carving knife on the table. "Look, just because you passed some stupid test doesn't make you a psychopath!" Yao was fed up with the boy's behavior. "Um, oppa, it's actually the real thing? The one made from...CIA or FBI or..whatever." "Yeon, you aren't helping." Yao decided to move on. He opened a new report-now this one he would have plenty to say of. His younger sister was renowned for living her life. She was always running around with her friends, shopping, videogaming, anything but studying. He glared at her before reading. "Well, this is all because you never study! You ALWAYS play, party, whatsoever. Just look at your grades! English-A!" As he registered what was written, his eyes widened. "What?" Yao reread. The A was permanent. "I'll read it for you if you can't understand." Ha Eung snatched his sister's report. "Math-A. Biology-A. History-A. Chinese-A." And so went on the list of As. Yao could swear his sister was smirking. The brat. "And you say I never study." "Well, your teacher said something about you chasing after the boys, and I do not like the sound of it." That got her. "What the..." He opened the last envelope and scanned it. "Leon, why did you feel the need to send off firecrackers? And why during class?" His youngest brother stared at him. "Because it was fun." He gave all of them the death stare.

"This is the last straw! I...I have spoiled you children...I don't know how I am ever going to see your parents when I go to heaven!" "That is, if they are in heaven." Ha Yeon's voice was low, but Yao heard her.

"Silent! We've got perverts-" "-Watching anime does not make me a pervert, nisan!" Kiku was loud for once but Yao ignored him. "TV addicts-" "-You watched too!"Mei argued but it was no use. "-Psychos-" "You said that test was stupid in the first place." Ha Eung muttered under his breath. "-drunk party girls-" "Wait, I am sober most of the times!" Ha Yeon glared at her brother. "-firecrack manias." Yao finished.

"Kiku, when I picked you as my adopted brother from the center when you were one, and when I was twelve, I didn't pick you to be a otaku!" "What's wrong with anime?" Kiku argued back. "You are getting perverted ideas about...about..." Yao turned red. "..about what?" "Never mind." snapped the tired CEO. "Mei, when aunt died and I took you in, my dear cousin, I don't think she would have let me if she had known her seventeen year old was going to watch TV all the time!" "I don't think she would have minded." Mei retorted for once. "You twins, I believe your parents would have sacked me if they knew their seventeen year olds were either crazy or frivolous thanks to me!" The twins gave him a look that said whatever. "And Leon, I am your oldest cousin and you are my responsibility no matter what that british idiot says. Just listen to me!" Leon looked bored.

"From now on, until exams are finished, you are to follow the rules I have set out for you." The table exploded. "But..." "No buts." Yao concluded as he handed his family each a piece of paper. The teens all studied the long list.

1. No TV.

"What?"

All of the youngsters glared at Yao. "Continue reading, if you aren't that busy to glare at me." Mei looked horrorstruck.

2. No Parties.

"But...I got invited to Francis Bonnefoy's supercool party!" Ha Yeon opened her mouth and protested, clearly upset. "You can tell Mr. Bonnefoy that you can't come." "OMG. That is so uncool of you, oppa!" Yao wondered what had happened to the polite youngster who he had raised.

3. No Drinking.

"Too bad, sis." Ha Eung smirked at his sister. "Thanks for nothing, loser." Ha Yeon looked as if she wanted to strangle her twin.

4. No Anime.

"That was cruel." The Korean girl, seeing the utterly heartbroken expression on her siblings' faces, looked at her big brother. "This anime...This cartoon thing.." Yao struggled to speak. "You spend too much money and time on it." "How could you?" Kiku, for once, lost his temper. "I mean, anime didn't harm anything! Nisan, I thought better of you!" "This is what anime can do to ruin lives. You stare at the living proof." Yao was firm. He was the great businessman, Yao Wang. He would not be intimidated by some teens.

5. NO ALFRED.

Ha Yeon looked at the paper. "You have got to be kidding." "I am not." The girl looked at her brother, then at the paper. "I mean, he's a great friend, and why should I stop meeting him because of this dumb sheet of paper and some shitty exams that are thirty days away?" "Ha Yeon Lee, watch your mouth." Yao decided then and there that the next time he saw the Jones boy, he would throw him out the window. "Ahh, true love!" Mei smiled at her sister. "Shut up. We are not in a relationship." "Yes, if she is in a relationship with that hamburger eating jock, I am going to cut his head off." Yao had to agree with his crazy younger brother for once.

6. No more video games.

7. No more experimenting.

8. No more knife throwing.

9. No more computer time.

The list stretched on and on, and by the end, number 50, the teens were ready to revolt. "So what do you think?" Yao casually asked his adopted brothers and sisters. "You are a baka." Kiku walked away, muttering something about his Kuroshintoji and how he would protect them. "Goodbye, Bangtan Boys, remember that I love you!" Mei left, parting with the television with overwhelmed emotion. "...I was going to tell her that I bought her tickets." Yao spoke in a subdued voice. "I hate this world." As much as he hated the world, Ha Eung neatly put the fifteen knives he owned on the counter before slamming his door. "I hate ge-ge." Leon glared at him, leaving his firecrackers behind.

The only person left sighed at him. "Seriously?" "What now, you hate me too?" Ha Yeon smiled at her brother. "Nope, you don't hate me for being a drunk party girl all the time. So I don't hate you for being a strict, boring older brother." She sighed-"The things I do for love"-and swept past.

The long count to the exam had begun.

So, here are the names and ages, along with the countries!

Wang Yao(China), 30

Kiku(Japan), 18

Mei (Taiwan), 17

Lee Ha Eung(North Korea), 17

Lee Ha Yeon(South Korea), 17

Leon(Hong Kong), 16

The only people related to Yao are Leon and Mei, who are his cousins. Since Leon is also related to Arthur(England) Yao is protective of him. Ha Eung(Northie) is my OC for North, and Ha Yeon(Southie) is my name for Fem!South. The twins were the children of Yao's dead bosses, and were brought into the family after age 3, when their parents were killed. Kiku was adopted as Yao's brother when he was a baby and Yao a teenager. I like to think of the family as a bickering mess, but protective of each other.

Long List of Words

baka-Japanese for idiot.

oppa-Korean for older brother, used by girls

nisan-respective, Japanese form for older brother.

anime-Japanese for cartoons, what we all love

otaku-people who love said cartoons. Apparently, dear Kiku seems to like Black Butler.

Kuroshintoji- One of the great anime that I love and yet, cannot own. It features a adorable count-Ciel Phantomhive, and his devilishly handsome butler Sebastian Michaellis.
