Mimi had no idea where she could stay. She couldn't just go back to their house. Her mom would question her and then… what could possibly happen next? Maybe after this, she will be fine with Yamato again. So she needs to find a temporary place before jumping into something else.
Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. On the other line was Hikari. "Oh hi, Mimi-chan! Are you busy or something? Oniichan and I are having some little feast here at our house. Mom cooked something delicious today." She told her.
Mimi smiled. "Actually, I have a big favor to ask you, Hikari-chan…" she said shyly.
"What is it? Just come over and tell me about it, okay? We'll be waiting for you. You can bring Yamato-niichan too."
"I-I'll try to. Mata ne…" she said and hung up. Thank goodness there's Hikari… but Taichi… he's so close to Sora. She'll soon know. Idon't want to worry her, but…I have no option as of now. She turned her heel and continued to pick up her things at Yamato's penthouse. In a jiffy, she was done and ready to go. Before she left, she wrote a letter for Yamato and placed in on the table.
Yamato-kun,
Sorry to have bugged your life earlier…I didn't mean to intrude your life. It seems that I've ruined everything for you.
I still have some of my things left. I'll get them when I still have some things to arrange.
Mimi
"I'll miss this house and the hard work…" she softly said. "Sayonara…"
She'd gotten to the bus already. Not long after that, Yamato came back and found out that Mimi's stuff is no longer there…
-------------------------------
TK had returned to his apartment. He gazed at an old picture they had; he and his brother. It was 14 years ago when he had to go, and that time, Yamato had been the best brother he can be. But before it turned out that way, TK personally thinks that he was always cruel to him. When TK was separated from their father, Yamato got full attention from the Ishidas. He became the next company heir. If he had not been away, he must be the one in his place for he knows his brother's rebellious ideals.
Thinking of that made him recall the past in his mind…
"Aniki! Aniki! Can we play now today? Pleaaase?"
Little Yamato shoved little TK away"Get off me!"
He was in his usual bad mood again. But little TK is persistent, and he always dreamed of being noticed by his elder brother.Someday, he knows that there'd be a time for him to accept him wholly in his heart…
TK shook his childhood memories away. He must think of the present. In his mind roams the thoughts of Mimi a while ago. She was apparently surprised with Yamato's sudden behavior. No wonder he wasn't. He's sure that his arrogance was still there, and even before it was revealed that he's Takeru, he resented him for being close to her.
Mimi…I wonder how aniki treats you. Why were you so shocked a while ago? Is he that good to you that he cannot be good to someone else? He thought. Suddenly, he remembered what Yamato said to her:
TK wiped the blood trickling on his face. Mimi gasped. "TK-kun? Are you alright?" She glanced at Yamato. "Yamato-kun! What was that for?!"
He looked at her with his eyes not glaring, but with his eyes that show hurt. "Mimi... I can't take this anymore. I cannot pretend any longer."He said calmly.
Mimi's eyes enlarged in shock. "W-What do you mean by... that?"
"Aniki… can't… pretend?" TK said his thoughts aloud. "Why, was there a pretense after all? I'm so confused. I can't get her off my mind…"
He picked up his mobile phone from the counter and called Mimi…

Jun had just gone from the Ishidas. She drove her car to a nearby café, for she was to meet someone. On her way, she can't help but think about what Mr. Ishida had told her.
"Yamato didn't actually become that enclosed because of your break-up, so don't blame yourself."
Jun wondered. "Why's that?"
Mr. Ishida sighed. "It all began with the kids' childhood, while their mom was here. You know, siblings with the same gender tend to have more rivalry that those who are not."
Jun nodded. "Yeah."
"TK was always with their mother those times and I wasn't around at the same time. From there, Yamato became lonely, and he blamed TK. Jealousy came to him. The brothers began to have rivalry as they grew."He continued. "So now, I think although it was resolved, it was again born since Mimi came to their lives. I'm pretty worried about Yamato right now."
"I can help Matt, Mr. Ishida." Jun said in a determined manner. "I'll do my best."
"Thanks Jun. I don't know what to do without what you told me. Good luck then."
Jun stopped the car's engine as soon as she parked. "Matt, I'll help you forget that girl. She's just ruining your life." She said to herself…
-------------------------------
Mimi was now on the bus on the way to Taichi's. Her phone rang, and she answered it immediately. "Yes, hello? TK…-kun…" she said softly. "Yeah… and I… left. I'll be going to Hikari's."
"Why? Does this have something to do with…" TK stopped talking.
Mimi smiled. "Why don't you come along?" she suddenly asked him. "Hikari said I'd bring Yamato, so… why not you instead?"
TK gave a long sigh. "Mimi, can we please keep my relation to aniki first? I… would not want to be associated with the Ishidas yet."
"Hai. I understand how you feel, besides," Mimi began "you're still not in good terms with him, ne?"
TK nodded. "Thanks, Mimi. I'll be at their house later. See ya."
He immediately took his apartment keys and left for the bus…
-------------------------------
"Mimi?"
Silence welcomed Yamato as he looked for his supposed girlfriend around his penthouse. He said nothing afterwards, and he sighed. As he went to his room, he glanced at the room in front of his. It was Mimi's before. He hadn't noticed the note Mimi left for him.
"So she really left. She thought that the contract was over. Yes, I guess it must be." He said. "I was wrong to trap her like that after all. What the heck, why I am I talking to myself like this?"
He tossed his car keys on the desk. "Tachikawa Mimi. You're always in my mind. You've corrupted my thoughts. How can I let go of you that easy?"
Then he shut his eyes for a brief moment and TK went to his mind. Takeru, you're starting again. Ican't believe you're taking her from me this time.
Then his mobile phone rang. It was an unregistered number, but he answered it as well.
"Yes?"
"Matt, it's me…" the voice trailed off. "Can we… talk?"

Next Episode Preview:
Yamato just arrived at his penthouse when Mimi had opened the door. With her is all of her stuff, and she didn't notice Yamato standing in front of her. She was busy managing her things and locking the door. Yamato took that opportunity to hurriedly run towards her, to talk to her.
"Mimi…"
She gasped as she looked behind him. She didn't speak anything, and he just stared at her.
"…Do you know why I was that mad at Takeru a while ago?"
Mimi opted to look at him. "Doushite?"
Yamato gave out a long sigh. "It started when we were still youngbefore mom and dad divorced…"
"…Takeru was always sickly, that's why he's always been close to mom. Because I was too young to understand his situation, I always got mad and jealous when I see Takeru and mom. I was desperately vying for her attention, but she constantly tells me that Takeru must be taken care of. Takeru and Takeru alone. Always him."
"One day, I was doing something to give to mom when Takeru came by my side. He wants me to play with him, but I refused. When he still insists on it, I angrily pushed him away. It triggered his sickness, and he was then on a critical condition. Since dad was always busy at work, and mom had just left, they both argued on whose fault it is. Deep inside of me, I know it was entirely mine. I blamed myself for their divorce, and started to live my life in despair."
"I became a good brother to Takeru in the end, and he forgave me. We knew it was too late, but we also knew we'll see each other again. But when I saw you getting closer and closer to him, it's as if he's taking another woman in my life away from me. Just like what he did to mom several years ago…"
Till next time!
