"Argh!" Leon threw his fork in the air, frustrated. His arm was in a sling, and he was in the hospital. He had said it was okay, but Yao disagreed to him, saying that he'd throw away Leon's fireworks if he demanded to leave. And so, he was stuck in Room 412, with a broken right arm, and a plate of glop.

"Nobody forced you to drive."

Ha Eung, his babysitter and psycho of a brother, was reading 13 Reasons Why in a corner, eating chop suey.

"Shut up, at least you have a motorcycle."

After the twins had had their fight of a century, Yao had given Ha Eung a motorcycle-although he didn't ride it to school, prefering his bike, Leon had seen the junior revving off to Asia Corp with that thing. It was pretty awesome-in fact, he was jealous of the thing.

"Your sister doesn't have a license as well."

"She has a personal chauffeur."

At this, Ha Yeon gave Leon a look of malice.

"It isn't my fault that I messed up my driving exams!"

According to Arthur, during the time Ha Yeon had stayed in that house, all of the family had tried to teach her how to drive. It had resulted in a dent in Arthur's Bentley, and a long scratch on Francis's Renault. And so, Alfred, tired of teaching her had decided to pick her up.

"Yeah, whatever."

Mei handed Leon a new set of utensils.

"Eat your food, you need energy."

"That's not food, it's glop."

After two weeks of hospital food, he missed Yao's cooking. Arthur had offered to bring some scones, but all of them had refused, and declined. The problem was that the hospital food was similar to Arthur's poison.

"Well, don't you want to leave this place?"

Leon groaned, staring at the stupid television.

"I swear, I am never watching Sesame Street again. I'm sick of watching that show every day-"

It had been basically every day, as that was the only channel in this entire hospital. Leon, who had been so bored to listen to Economics was now basically missing the stupid course. In fact, he was missing every part of school. He was now even regretting his wishes about being sick and playing all day. Nothing was good if your right arm was broken.

"Shut up, Kirkland, you're going to wake him up-"

"He's already awake, you blasted idiot!"

Yao's voice along with Arthur's was practically ringing down the hospitals, and the younger siblings all sighed. Since Leon had been ill, the two concerned and traumitized adults had been coming daily. They had even stayed up next to Leon's bed for the entire time, except for the times they went to work.

"It's so embarrassing, they're super noisy."

Ha Eung gritted his teeth, listening to the conversation, and noticed his siblings giving him an odd look.

"What?"

"You know, it's rich coming from you, the black sheep of the family."

Kiku commented, and the Korean just shrugged.

"At least I wasn't the school bully or the drunk party girl. Not that there's anything wrong with it-"

The door opened, and Yao walked in, looking harassed along with Arthur, who was taking his hat off.

"Could you please throw that hat in the trash? It looks like it's from one of these really old Victorian films."

Arthur sneered at Yao's words, and pointed at Yao's hair.

"Yes, and please cut your hair. You look like some hippie. And this hat is actually a gift from the Queen herself."

Mei prodded at the bag Yao had brought along with him.

"What's this?"

"I thought Leon would like to read one of these books, it is said to be very popular-"

"Ah, yes, and it's Chinese Literature. Who would read that rubbish?"

Kiku gulped as he determinately stared at the floor, and the lawyer flushed as he noticed Kiku was holding The Studies of Mencius.

"It's actually pretty decent, the Literature thing, very dignified."

Judging from the killer look that Yao gave him, it seemed too late for Arthur to change his word choices.

"And how dignified are you?"

"I am a true gentleman, unlike you, Wang, you money addicted-"

"I just had sex, and it felt so good-"

All of them turned at the ringtone that was blaring in the small room.

"Young lady, this is not funny."

Apparently, Yao thought that his siblings had played a prank with his ringtone. It seemed otherwise.

"Actually, older brother, it's from Mr. Kirkland's phone."

Mei whispered, then burst into peals of laughter at the sheer notion. Arthur looked literally horrified as he hurridly pulled his phone out of his pocket. Meanwhile the song kept on blaring, oblivious to Arthur's immense anger, and Yao's amusement.

"Actually, Kirkland, I thought you had a boyfriend, so you can't have a woman let you-"

"SHUT UP, YOU WANKER!"

Arthur shouted, and answered the phone.

"Hey, Artie, we're back! But since we literally have nothing to do, can we come over to Leon's room?"

"No, they can't, he's extremely weak."

Yao shouted for the person on the other end-Alfred-to hear.

"Doesn't matter, we're nearly there!"

At this, everyone groaned. Just yesterday, Alfred had been over with Matthew. They had caused an epic foodfight in the hospital cafeteria, and Arthur had had to drag them out. Yao had been very upset.

"You just had to make friends with that annoying American, Kiku? I don't understand what you see in him, Ha Yeon."

"Hey, even if he's an atrocious, pranking git, he's my cousin!"

Arthur's eyes seemed to grow round at a sudden realization.

"Lad, it wasn't you who changed my ringtone, was it?"

"It was way better than God Save the Queen! Don't you agree-"

Arthur just hung up, then flopped down on a chair in exasperation.

"I don't know what makes me keep raising that git. Why can't he be gentle like Mattie or quiet like Kiku for once?"

Yao gave the lawyer a grin of victory, sitting down on Leon's bed.

"So how are you, didi? Is it more comfortable? Are you hot? Cold?"

"I'm alive."

The only thing Leon was sure of was that he missed school and Emil, along with Mathias.

"Oh, by the way, the young man from Nordic Industry called me, he asked me if he could visit today."

His heart skipped a beat at this. Emil wanted to see him!

"And? Did you say yes?"

"Whoa, look at him, he's all desperate! I mean, you're so eager to meet your boyfriend!"

Ha Yeon teased, taking a swig of water from the refrigerator.

"Well, your boyfriend practically-"

"Jones is not Ha Yeon's boyfriend!"

"Alfred is not going out with anyone until he's thirty!"

Yao and Arthur spoke in a heated voice at the same time, then glared at each other.

"Are you indicating, eyebrows, that my sister is not good enough for your burger-eating heir?"

"Says the one who mistreats my heir and cousin!"

"Here they go again."

The other people continued doing their business, hearing this argument for the thousandth time, but Leon had a more pressing matter.

"Did you say yes or not?"

"Of course not, you're still in recovery!"

His brother was incredulous, shaking his head.

"Absolutely not, he's the reason you're in this hospital for the first place, such an irresponsible boy, letting you borrow his car when he knew you didn't have a license-"

This seemed to be the first time his two caretakers and guardians ever agreed, and it happened to be a stupid decision.

"That's ridiculous, Alfred Jones is coming over, why can't Emil come over?"

There was an uncomfortable silence at this.

"Alfred decided to come on his own accord, I never invited him-"

"Then Emil should most surely come!"

Yao and Arthur locked eyes for a full minute, then Arthur spoke.

"Lad, you're not having a boyfrined until you're thirty-"

"You're insane, you've been going out with Francis ever since high school, and look at Kiku, or Ha Yeon or Ha Eung, it's unfair!"

"For once, I agree with eyebrows here. You're still too young, and you're too naive."

"Leon, naive?"

His sisters snickered behind their books, and Leon threw the nearest object that he could find, out of pure anger. The object happened to be a water bottle, and Leon gaped in horror as water splashed all over Ha Yeon.

"Look, I'm sorry-"

"You little git! Just because Emil can't come over doesn't mean you get to splatter me with drinking water! My blouse-"

His sister flew at him, and Yao struggled to restrain the furious girl.

"Hey, I'm here-"

Geez, he just had to pick now to come in?

Alfred was there, with Matthew, and he was holding a bunch of flowers.

"Dude, it's for your steady recovery, I bought roses, but I dunno if the nurses are going to-what happened to you?"

The American was gaping at his sister like this was one of the most shocking things he had ever seen.

"I freaking hate you, Wang Leon!"

The door slammed as Ha Yeon left, and an awkward silence stretched on and on.

"Um, what just happened?"

"An episode of Love and War."

Leon sighed, leaning back into his bedstead. Great, now his sister was pissed out at him, and his arm hurt thanks to Ha Yeon Lee.

"Can you help me?"

Ha Eung ignored Leon, just like usual. He seemed to be on Page 200 of the book. The others were out, for a proper meal while Ha Eung had decided to stay behind.

"No."

"Please?"

Perhaps a polite approach would work on his brother, he really needed to meet Emil, and Leon was sure that Yao would allow Emil to come here if Ha Eung, the psycho who never got along with anyone asked it of him.

"Nyet."

Politeness failed on him? Then what actually works?

"Jaebal?"

He'd use Korean, he was this desperate. His brother had to thaw, he just had to!

"Ani."

Lee Ha Eung was an evil person, there was no telling twice.

"Pretty please?"

"Shut up, I need to read this. This book isn't even mine, and I have to return it by tomorrow."

As Leon stared at the edge of the book, he caught an initial.

Property of N.B.

"This book is Natalia Bradinski's, isn't it?"

"So what if it is?"

Leon needed to hatch a plan, quickly. He had to be fast about this. It suddenly occured to him, that he had to use his older brother's feelings even if it cost him his life.

"You like her, don't you?"

"Don't be so ridiculous! I wouldn't like her, she's a brother-addict!"

Your sister is a brother addict would be a very rude thing to say, and Leon was sure that Ha Eung would really murder him in his sleep if Leon continued to insult Ha Yeon.

"Well, you do like her, why would you dance with her if she was of zero importance to you?"

"I felt sorry for her."

This was a big fat lie, he could see through this. The senior's facade was crumbling, and his hands were shaking slightly. If he could see Ha Eung's face now, he was sure it would be turning red.

"Ivan Bradinski would kill you if he heard all this crap about you and his sister. He'd sent an assassin after you if he heard you saying that you felt sorry for his precious Natalia."

His brother had gotten the threat.

"You. Wouldn't. Dare."

"Difficult times call for difficult measures, older bro. Now be a good sport and get Emil here for me, before I tell Ivan about your feelings toward Natalia. Even if you change your words, saying that you actually like her, he could get pissed off just like Yao does. You wouldn't look so handsome without your head, would you?"

The Korean stood from his seat, then picked up his Samsung.

"Yes, Yao-hyung, it's me. I think it would be good for Leon to have some company over, so could I invite one of his friends?"

"That's very considerate and grown-up of you, Ha Eung. I'm very proud of you. Yes, you may."

Leon punched his fist in the air, making the Vulcan Salute-until he actually saw his brother. The look he was given was more like You're dead. Just you wait.

"Yes, Yao-hyung."

Ha Eung hung up, then put his hands on his hips.

"Call your fricking boyfriend before I change my mind."

Although his right hand was in a cast, Leon was fast to grab his Xiaomi. But his luck ended there, as he struggled, typing the numbers into the keypad.

"Oh, for the sake of Tangun... I'll do it."

He nodded, showing thanks to his brother who snatched his phone for him, pressing the digits and calling. He could hear Emil's dial tone, and soon enough-"Leon?"

His friend sounded horrible, and Leon sighed. It hadn't exactly been Emil's fault, the entire thing had happened because of him and his attitude.

"You are so lucky to get an actual car!"

Emil smiled proudly, patting his Volvo. It had been a gift from his brothers, who ran the car industry.

"The jerk, Lukas finally allowed me to buy it! I've been saving for eons."

Even if he called his brother a jerk, Emil loved Lukas dearly, and Leon couldn't help but feel jealous. Yao was a great brother and was like a father to him, but he couldn't help but wish that he would be coddled less. To Yao's eyes, he'd always be a five-year-old.

"Can I drive?"

"Come on, man, you don't have a license."

Mathias laughed at him, but somehow Leon didn't like this. He disliked the cooler boy making fun of him for whatever reason-not in front of Emil.

"I can drive. I've seen a lot of drivers-"

"Seeing isn't the same as driving for real! I don't think it's a good idea-"

"Do you think I'm a coward? I can drive, and I'll show you."

Emil gulped, a worried look on his face as he passed Leon the keys.

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself, don't speed-"

"I know better than to speed."

Thinking back he should have listened, as he had been shaking behind the wheel for the three minutes of driving. It had not been long afterwards that he had bumped into a rail, and had gotten into an accident. The stupid safety bag hadn't worked for some stupid reason, and his arm had flown out with a bam. The next thing he knew, he was in a hospital with very white walls, with a very concerned Emil standing over him. The other boy had been crying, only reminding Leon of his own stupidity and ego.

"Thank god you're okay, I was so worried, your siblings were so upset-"

"They get overworked when it comes to emotions. They're Asians and they love dramas."

At these words, Ha Eung smacked the back of his head with his hand.

"Brat."

"I should have stopped you from driving at whatever cost, I'm so sorry-"

It was not like his friend to talk much, but then Emil had been under emotional strain.

"It's not your fault, you're not to blame. I was the one who was sitting under the wheel."

"But it was my car!"

This wasn't the reaon why he had called for the first place. He had only wanted Emil to come over, but now he felt guilty. Guilty and embarrassed.

"Look, it's not your fault. I was the idiot. You tried to stop me."

"I should have tried harder, what if you had died?"

"That's stupid. Anyway, do you want to come over to the hospital? Yao said that it was okay for me to bring a friend-"

"He said no when I called-"

"He changed his mind."

There was a sigh from the other end-for what reason, he didn't know.

"...I'll be there in a few minutes."

Emil had disconnected, and Leon was left staring at the phone with Ha Eung for company.

"Love sucks."

"Tell me what you know about it."

When the ward door had opened, Leon sat bolt-upright, trying his best not to look sick. It was a difficult job, his arm in a sling and everything. There was a bandage on his face as well, but it was smaller than the original one that had been there right after the accident.

"You came."

"Of course, I told you I'd come."

Emil was wearing a collared shirt, and a tie, holding a bunch of flowers.

"Flowers?"

"Yes, I was hoping for your recovery. I thought white was a good color, so I brought them-"

Leon studied the flowers, trying hard not to be emotional. He'd have to be careful, otherwise he'd behave like his sisters or brothers who were too emotional and lived life like a drama.

"Thanks."

"Not a very lovey-dovey conversation, is it? I'll leave you to yourselves so that Romeo and Juliet can have a good talk together-nah, Romeo and Juliet left for dinner. Perhaps Kyunwoo and Jiknyeo."

Ha Eung stood from his chair, taking his book. The door closed quietly behind his brother's back, and Emil sat, his face gloomy.

"Your brother doesn't look very happy."

"Does he ever look happy? He's a future murderer. And besides, I threatened him about something."

Emil chuckled, then quieted, his face lowered.

"Yao was very angry. I deserve it."

Leon tried to take his friend's hand, but winced. His shoulder still ached, and Emil now looked more guilty than possible.

"This is not your fault. It wasn't like you put a handle in my hands. My brain circuit wasn't working properly, and you tried."

"But-"

He patted the gloomy boy's head with his own uninjured hand managing a smile.

"I'm fine. Really."

Emil nodded, then wiped quickly at his eyes.

"Emil, are you crying?"

"B...Be quiet! I'm not crying, that's really stupid!"

Leon couldn't help it, Emil was too cute for his own good. The junior clutched his chest, laughing insanely. It was just then that the door opened.

"-I swear, I'm going to kill that brat. I don't care if he's sick, he spilled water on my blouse! And I was wearing black underwear!"

The two boys turned in the direction of the high pitched voice, and the Chinese boy groaned.

"I said I'm sorry, sis, and I bet Emil didn't want to know about what color your undies were."

"Bet two others disagree."

Ha Yeon, Yao and Mei were back with Kiku flanked by Arthur, Francis and the Jones twins.

Yao took a swift look around his surroundings. He then seemed to register there was something missing, and something new in the room.

"Where is your brother?"

"The toilet, maybe."

"And what is Emil doing here?"

"Ha Eung-"

His older brother waved away his pathetic excuse with one hand.

"You possibly blackmailed him about something. That much is obvious."

"And besides, Ha Eung is a tsundere."

Kiku shook his head at the younger boys as if it was very obvious.

"What's a tsundere?"

Francis smiled at a very confused Arthur, poking his arm.

"Well, mon cher, isn't it obvious? It is used for handsome men like yourself."

"DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT! We were talking about the reason why this young man is here, when Wang clearly told him not to come!"

Emil flushed a color of red.

"Well, no matter. We can't send a guest back, even if it's a clearly irresponsible idiot."

Yao had decided to play the courteous host, but Leon knew that the atmosphere was already sour. The CEO, who had decided to clean the room, now noticed the flowers that Emil had brought.

"You bought lilies."

"Yes, sir. I thought Leon would like them-"

"Don't you know, boy, that white flowers are usually used for dead people?"

Damn gege and his stupid customs that nobody believes in!

"I think they're decent."

Arthur showed approval at the flowers, then took the bouquet from Yao, placing them in the water bottle that had been manhandled by Leon.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Wang-"

Yao sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"I understand. Just...Just don't do anything crazy until you're thirty and you can be responsible for your children."

"Mr...Mr. Wang!"

Emil looked horrified, but Yao didn'r realize his mistake and continued on.

"You think that's too late? Well, then okay. Twenty-five. And don't forget to use a-"

"Shut up, opium bastard!"

Arthur hissed under his breath, and Yao just glared at the man.

"Whatever, eyebrows. I'm trying to be a cool older brother unlike you."

At least Yao wasn't pissed out at Emil anymore. That was a good thing. And Arthur was getting along with Yao. They weren't trying to murder each other, which was a great development. But still Leon had to ask, he had to know.

"Arthur."

"What, lad?"

"You're not going to ask for custody, are you?"

The lawyer chuckled, finding it actually funny.

"Why, you want me to? Sorry, kid. I can't. I need to raise a seventeen year old who has the mental age of a seven year old, along with a perverted frog."

"Thank god."

He wouldn't have to worry about food poisoning. It was good to have two concerned adults hover over him with family, though. The only thing left for him was his release from hospital.

"So when can I leave?"

"Never."

At the incredulous look on Leon's face, Yao smiled.

"Just kidding!"

"It was very hard to believe."

Kiku added, and it was thus that another day in the household ended. A very peaceful day to the Northeast Asian standards.

I Just Had Sex is a real song, sung by The Lonely Island. The thing that happened to Artie was what basically happened to my friend. Anyway, I just found out I had 1700 views on this fanfic, which is just awesome... Prussia rated awesome... Wow... Thanks for the 9 favorites and 11 follows! I guess the next fic will be about Yao or Ha Eung or Mei. Perhaps Ha Yeon? I really don't know, but I guess it will be more romantic. Plus... I have exams! Congrats, Suhwa. Wish me luck! (Exits)
