"Are you kidding me? What happened to him? Why am I finding out about this now? Didn't I get a phone call?"

Sae yelled at her manager, who was in responsibility of informing him of any new information. Instead, he remained silent, and he just learned of the news the same afternoon after some reporters wanted to make questions to him. Sae could only stare at them coldly when one of them mentioned his younger brother, but when they told him what occurred, he didn't believe it.

"I-I... yes, I received a call from your parents and I-I was about to notify you, but you didn't want me to bother you, and I assumed you already knew, which is why you wanted to be alone, sae! I'm sorry for your loss, I'm truly sorry!"

Sae intended to punch his manager and kill him. He was outraged and irritated, and he was feeling a lot of emotions right now since he didn't answer that phone... but he also regretted himself for not doing anything for Rin back then... he blamed himself and could only leave his hotel with his manager, who didn't even prevented him from going to the hospital...

Sae was still angry in the car, he still didn't believe it, but this time he responded his parents, who informed him that he didn't have to go to the hospital if he was busy, which irritated him even more.

When he arrived at the hospital, nurses recognized him and apologized, but Sae only told them where he was since his parents had emailed him the address of the hospital where his brother was... Rin...

When he arrived in the room, he saw the doctor who was with this parents, explaining to them what had happened to the body of Rin and that he would not be able to recover, and he could see how his mother was crying and his father, who was silent but crying and trying to soothe his wife.

Sae had dashed to that room... and as his vision was drawn to his parents and then to the doctor, he stopped running and began walking, still afraid of the reality... because he still felt it was a joke. The doctor stared at Sae as he spotted his presence.

"Are you Itoshi Rin's older brother?" Sae could only nod "I want you to know that we tried everything and nothing worked, I'm so sorry, but Rin never responded and in the end he gave up."

"No… that can't be true… rin… he should be alive," Sae said with his voice shaking.

Sae didn't believe it and thought it couldn't be true, so he entered the room and when he saw Rin, he didn't believe it anymore... there was Rin... sleeping and maybe dreaming, and the sad fact it was that he wouldn't wake up from the dream.

Sae approached slowly, and when he reached Rin's side, he touch and felt the cold hand, he felt no life in him, and Sae realized with his own eyes that Rin had black bags under her eyes, which he knew only indicated that Rin was not resting enough. even so, he had no idea why he died... what would have happened if he had answered that call? What if he had told Rin how important he was in his life?

Sae simply held onto Rin, who didn't respond to his touch, and sae couldn't hear any heartbeat…he squeezed Rin tighter, feeling tears well up in his eyes.

"I sincerely apologize, I'm sorry Rin... I'm sorry... Rin... please... wake up... I know I'm selfish, but... rin... please... wake up"

"Rin... Rin? Rin... Rin... Rin..." The sounds dropped to whispers.

The whispers faded until...

"Itoshi Rin! it's time for you to get down! Because of you! I'm going to be late!" An irritated young man with reddish-brown hair yelled at his brother.

Rin was sleepy and didn't want to hear anything, so he lazily opened his eyes and whispered "let me sleep idiot" and then yawned and sat on his bed, but there was a problem.

When he sat down, he didn't make contact with the ground, which startled Rin a bit, and he blinked five times in confusion before jumping to the ground. He saw that his feet were small, which made him wonder why, after he turned to look at the bed, only to find that he was only a few inches taller.

Only seeing that he ran straight to the bathroom, he realized that he was in his former residence. he went up the children's stairs, sat at the sink and looked at her face in the mirror... he caressed his face in fear and then he screamed so loud that it was heard throughout the house.

"¡AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"" Rin yelled so loud that his neighbors were terrified and wondered what was happening inside that house.

Rin couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to accept it, but the same scream alerted the redhead, who ran to the bathroom after hearing his brother yell.

"Are you okay! Rin!" That voice worried Rin even more, and when he turning around and looking at him, he became even more terrified and threw the liquid soap at him, which of course the redhead caught because it was made of glass. "Rin? Why… are you still wearing your pajamas?

It had to be a joke since it was Sae when he was young. Rin simply wanted to wake up from his nightmare. He wasn't going to go through this again.

Sae was going to approach Rin because his face was afraid, but as he did, Rin stepped away from him in the sink... he didn't want him close, which concerned Sae even more.

"Rin?...what's wrong?" Sae continued to approach Rin, who, seeing that sae was ready to touch him, raced out of the bathroom and went into his room, terrified and leaving a curious Sae as scared.

Rin's POV

But what the heck happened? Why am I still alive? The only thing I remember is that I was training and I took it so far that I fainted, and I believe it was because i wasn't taking care of me... crap now what do I do? Why am I stuck in the past? But why? Why I have to be back at my childhood?

I don't want to go through this again! What if I commit suicide? But it would be odd; why would a four-year-old desire to die at such a young age? I know! What if he told my parents to get rat poison because I witnessed one? That may work, !I'm not going to repeat it again because of my fuking brother! No! He left me traumatised, and now that I think about it, I believe this day is his soccer match, which of course this time I'm not going to interfere.

oh no... no! I don't want to go back to class... It irritates me more because of what I learn in high school! and now I have to wait years to go! Oooh! Worst of all, I'm back to being a kid! Fuck!

"Rin language and get dressed," I heard Sae say... obviously I spoke it out.

"Oh no! If I'm going to get dressed, you have to go now paedophile!" I said to Sae.

"Eh? rin... did you learn that from someone? also I'm your brother, not a paedophile." Sae stared at me, puzzled, and then moved closer, but I stopped him.

"No Nii-chan for you! You are not my older brother! And if you want me to change, leave me alone! I know how to dress properly! Damn! Nobody here understands the concept of privacy!" I shouted angrily, but Sae only stared at me, perplexed.

"Rin... are you okay?" Sae gazed at me neutrally till I pushed him to slam the door, "get out now!" I stated this before closing the door in his face...

This has got to be a nightmare.
