Author's note: One sided RusCh
"Hi, older brother." "Yes, hello." Yao slammed his door. Mei gaped. Her brother never got upset. Slamming the door was Ha Eung's thing. "Is something wrong?" "It's Friday." "If I recall, you liked Friday!" That was from her sister, who was holding a towel in one hand. "No, I don't." And with that, he stormed downstairs.
Wang Yao was a very important man. For one thing, his company was Asia Corp. That company happened to make the finest gadgets in town, dealing with cars, phones, mp3 players, computers, high-technology, deep-learning and so on. Basically you name it, they had it.
They had built their fundamental ground-their roots in the East. The West had been a challenge at first but they were persistent, persistent enough to be one of the strongest companies in the world.
For another, he was known for being the man who had everything. He had money-Asia Corp, he had influence as a CEO and through his family's links. He was good looking with many admirers, he was well educated and well mannered.
The sad thing about him was his disasterous love life. God was fair, and Yao knew how cruel he was to Yao as the CEO sat at the backseat of his chauffeur's car, listening to animation theme songs through his headphones. Let It Go was on. Oh, how dearly he wished that he could.
"Damn, damn, damn!" Yao shouted as he stared as his schedule. Booked. And what was worse-"Please don't tell me I have to see that Russian fellow again." "Sir, he requests you help him with his choosing..." His assistant sighed. The assistant knew when he was in a foul mood. "Yes, yes, whatever."
A long time ago, when his parents Wang Song and Keum had owned Asia Corp, after the car accident that had killed Kim All Yeong and Lee Ju Mong-that is, the parents of his twin siblings, he had actually liked meeting clients.
And he had met him. The boss of the mafia. The true psychopath. Ivan Bradinski and his two siblings. His older sister Yekaterina was the only sane person of the family.
After that encounter, Ivan had actually told everyone to keep their filthy hands off his Yao-Yao. He, Wang Yao had been disgusted. He had also told the press that yes, he was angry, no, he was not in a relationship with that man, yes, he would never like that man. And from that day forth, the madman had stalked him. It was either stalking, or meeting him for business.
He knew after all his talks with the gangster, that Ha Eung was actually kind compared to this man, and that Alfred F. Jones was a child, also compared. And they were the worst out of all the teens he knew. Yao groaned at the prospect.
The door swung open, and he expected Ivan to be standing there, holding his damn sunflowers. "Hyung, I'm sorry. I just came to ask you.." It was his brother. Ha Eung.
Yes, he had told the boy it was his time to venture around the corporation. It would have rightfully been Ha Eung's corporation, but...
At least the boy would be a chairman, holding 30% of the place.(He held 40, and Ha Yeon had 30%.)But even if the boy was to be chairman, he needed experience-he wouldn't be a parachute-he would have the talent, the power, the knowledge to be chairman. That was exactly why Ha Eung Lee was here. To see his hyung work, and to learn.
Yao had almost forgotten about his little brother. Now that he thought of it..."Ha Eung?" "Yes?" "Would you like to sit in one of my private meetings with a client?" "What?" The boy sounded shocked. Yao repeated the question. The reason was simple. Even Ivan wouldn't show his crazy behavior in front of a child.
"...I'm honored, 형님(older brother)." And as if to prove his point, he pulled out his phone. "Wait. What are you..." "To celebrate. I'm calling Ha Yeon." "Don't." The last thing he wanted was his little sister meeting Ivan. "Too late." Now they could hear her voice. "뭔데? 나 지금 치어리더 연습하는 중이야. (What is it? Look, I'm in the middle of cheer practice.)" "형님이 나한테 형님이 중요한 고객이랑 있는 걸 보기를 바라셔! (Hyungnim wants me to see him with a very important client!)"
That got her. "뭐...거짓말. (Wha...You're lying.)" "Turn off the phone!" Yao hissed. Again, too late. "Is that oppa? Wait, you better-" Ha Eung didn't get the chance to hear what he had better do, as the door swung open, and Yao snatched the phone from him, ending the call.
"Yao-Yao!" A man walked in, flanked by two girls. One of them was carrying knives, the other was crying. "Mr.Bradinski." Unlike his ecstatic client, Yao's voice was clipped. "Vell, it has been a long time, my dear Yao." Ivan stretched a hand toward him. Then Ha Eung moved in a flash, and a knife had implanted itself on the wooden desk. "Ha Eung! I thought I confiscated all of your knives!" His younger brother shrugged it off. "In a world with creeps like this, fifteen knives aren't enough." Now he remembered that even if his brother wasn't as cruel as Ivan, he was a highly dangerous psychopath. Ivan's eyebrow rose. "Who is this, Yao-Yao?" "That is my brother, Lee Ha Eung."
The girl next to Ivan suppressed a gasp. "Older Brother, I know him!" Yao knew the girl as 'the other person in Ha Eung's class who was obsessed with weaponry.' Natalia Bradinski also happened to be obsessed with her brother. As Yao wondered how his brother could actually get along with this girl, Ivan stared at his brother. "You know my sister?" "Yes. Her knife seemed to be made of high quality steel, and I was trying to take a look. It seemed sharp enough to kill." Of course. Yao knew his brother to be that sort of person, who was in love with his knives and dangerous objects. He was only hoping that Ivan didn't think the boy was joking. "You have an interesting interest." "And you have an odd taste for nicknames." Yao was now regretting putting the boy in the room.
Ivan chortled as he sat. "Kesesese, your brother is quite impressive, Yao-Yao." "I beg your pardon. He just had a bad day. His..um..goldfish died." That was a stupid excuse and also a lie. His brother stared at him. "What's this about gold..Hey!" Yao firmly stepped on the boy's boot, mouthing shut up. Ha Eung got it as he became quiet.
"So I see, Mr. Bradinski, what are you interested in?" "Your car products are good. Your computers are fine as well. Your phones are sublime. I wish to take a look at all three, and on doing so, take a good look at you on the way." Ivan spoke smoothly, and Yao resisted the urge to yell at him.
"Hyungnim, I recall you saying something about meeting with a Miss Lee?" Ha Eung spoke from his corner. "What was that?" Ivan glared at the teenager, who was sending texts. "Ha Eung.." But the boy went on. "Yes, you're meeting her right after, weren't you?" Playing along wouldn't be bad. "Ah, yes."
"Who is this Miss Lee?" Ivan's voice was deadly. "My sister." "Oh." Now Ivan sounded a bit ashamed. Of course. "I did not know about Yao-Yao's sister." "Could we get along and finish this bargain?" "Of course." Yao gave his brother a small smile. Good job, little brother. He felt like flying. Ivan, in his embarrassment wouldn't harrass him. At least, for now.
It had been an hour after the arrival of their guests. Overall, Yao thought this was the best meeting with Ivan as pulled out a couple of his files to show. "Here are the files about deep-learning." Ivan stared at them and began to chuckle. "Yao-yao, but these are not what I expected." He showed Yao the files.
Oh, no. Yao cursed in Chinese. These weren't about work at all. They were about..."But you look cute." Ivan commented. "What are you looking at?" It was Ha Eung, and the tall boy peered over Yao's shoulder. "Hyungnim!" And Ha Eung groaned.
It was a picture of Yao, sleeping on the couch. And there were more. More Yao pictures than thought possible. "Whose file is this?" "I must have taken the wrong file by mistake. It was in my cabinet..and..." The only other person who was allowed to use his cabinet. His sister.
"Please don't tell me it was Yeon." Both brothers groaned. "Well, I should ask the file owner-this Yeon girl for more pictures,Da?" Ivan was smiling like he just won the lottery when there was shouting from outside. "Seriously! I am the Chief's family, just wait and see!"
The door swung open to reveal the owner of the file, red-cheeked and smiling. "Oppa!!! I really wanted to come! Sorry!" The smile started to evaporate as she stared at the picture that Yao was holding.
"Um...That was.." "You are Yao's little sister?" Ivan gave her a look. "Yes." Ha Yeon seemed not to take any notice of the Russian or of the girls next to him. "Oppa, I...I just wanted to take some pictures, please don't get mad at me!"
Yao took the file and handed it to his sister. "The next time you want a picture, ask for permission. Don't behave like a crazy stalker." His sister nodded and sat, looking embarrassed as she buried her face in her hands.
"Well, Yao-yao, your little sister is quite..." "Quite?" "красивый(Beautiful). In her own way. " Ivan smiled, showing his pearly white teeth. Yao, knowing the meaning of the word, glowered at the mafia. It was bad enough that the man was interested in him. It was horrible that Ivan was showing interest in his sister, even if it was small.
"Oppa, what did he say?" Ha Yeon gave him a questioning glance. "Nothing important." Yao spoke. Unfortunately for him, he had forgotten that his brother had taken a course in Russian.
"That disgusting pedophile! I'll gut you!" Ha Eung was out of his seat. "하응아(Ha Eung), calm down." His twin was trying to reason with him. "Don't worry, маленький мальчик(little boy). I am quite faithful to my Yao." Ivan seemed interested in the boy's reaction as he laughed.
Although his sister didn't understand one bit of Russian, she knew what he had said about his Yao. Her eyes turned fierce. "Oppa, is this man your boyfriend?" "No." "Then tell him to leave you off." "I have." Ha Yeon gave Ivan a dirty look, as if he were a dead rat, then pulled out her phone, texting someone.
Yao clapped his hand on his face as he handed Ivan the file on his cars. Ivan nodded as he saw all of the pictures on the catalogs. "Well made." "Do you want a specific car? One made for your driving?" It was customary. "No, I would like to drive you." The answer wasn't expected and Yao started to cough.
"Older brother!" It was the Natalia girl. "Natalia, что это(what is it)?" The mafia just glanced at his sister as if what he said was normal. "You don't say things like that!" "And why so?" "It's rude." The girl lowered her head instinctively. She wasn't one to correct her brother, the fool in love.
"Ты дурак(You're a fool)." It was from Ha Eung, who was staring at the floor. "Ha Eung!" But Natalia was staring at the Korean. "Он не будет любить тебя обратно(He won't love you back)." His brother stood, gave the Russian a nod and left the room. Silence insued.
"You. Leave my brother alone." It was his reckless sister. Hot headed, short tempered, passionate, and so loyal. So fiercely loyal. "Stop bothering Yao oppa, and stop talking like that." One of Ivan's eyebrows rose. "And why?" "Because I will kill you."
Yao groaned. He appreciated his sister's loyalty, but this was a man of the mafia. This was different. "No, you won't kill anyone." It was another voice. "KIKU?"
Yes, his younger brother was here, arms crossed. "Hey, Yao ni-san. You should have told me about this man." Kiku smiled at Yao. It was a creepy smile, and Ha Yeon's face darkened. They had seen that smile a lot of times, a few years ago.
"Hello, who are you?" "I'm Kiku Honda. I, unfortunately am not as cute as my sisters or polite as my brother." It was very sudden. Kiku's hand had been undetected, but now he was practically pointing a carving knife at Ivan. "Leave. My. Brother. Alone. If you know my brother well enough you'll know that he has two crazy brothers not one." It was his otaku voice that he used when Leon had stolen his comics, and it was not a good sign.
"Fine." Ivan stood, pushing Kiku's arm away. He turned towards the door as his sisters followed, and stopped. "Yao, you know me, don't you?" What was he supposed to say to that? "Yes." "Then you will also know well enough that although your family is adorable, I wasn't hoping for a family introduction-when I am still not your boyfriend." "YOU!" Ivan smirked and left.
"Did you have to call Kiku?" It was dinnertime. "Yes." His sister sat next to him, ladling food into her mouth, whilst Mei was laughing about the whole incident as Kiku retold his version which consisted of a CEO in need of a rescue and a stalker dragon. "He goes crazy when people mess with things he care for." Ha Yeon added, as she put a piece of kimchi on his rice.
"Thank you." His siblings knew he wasn't talking about the kimchi. "We were just doing what siblings should do." Kiku answered proudly. "You raised us. You helped us when we needed it. It's time we repaid." It was Ha Eung. For some reason the boy looked grim. "It was nothing!" Ha Yeon smiled. "We will always stand by you, no matter how you yell at us or tell us to eat veggies." That was from Leon. "So you can trust in us to help you when things aren't working out." Mei smiled at him, and Yao felt something stirring. Ah, how he loved his siblings.
" 我爱你(I love you)." "나도(Me too.)" " 私も(Me as well)." It was too embarrassing for his siblings to say I love you to him in a language they all knew, it seemed.
Yao gave them a smile, and then whacked Ha Yeon on her head. "Hey!" "Don't ever act like that again. He could have hurt you." She nodded, muttering about ungratefulness.
"And Kiku, stop acting like your brother. You are not a character in one of that comics you read." "I did not act like Ha Eung!" Kiku retorted, but fell silent when Yao gave him a look. "I mean, what was I supposed to do when Ha Yeon said you were with a pervert?" "Next time, hire an assassin." "You're the psycho." Mei winked at him.
It had been a happy dinner, that is until a reporter called him about Ivan Bradinski. The next morning, the house received a piece of newspaper- Wang Yao's Crazy Siblings Ruin his Date. "That was not a date!" Yao shouted. "And why does Kiku sound like a crazy person?!!" It was Ha Yeon for once. "What's with the tragic love?" Kiku snorted. Ah, how fast words traveled. And how wrong they were. Another day of gossip about Asia Corp.
Another beginning of a bad day for Yao.

So I'm back! And I wrote about Yao and his stalker-and it sounds stupid and I think Russia lovers and Russia's gonna hate me! I'm sorry, I even took a week off or something and this stinks. Next chapter's going to be about Mei-and about her big shopping adventure(feat. Yeon).
