A day later, Ryosuke woke up and was transfer into a private room as he open his eyes he noticed his sister was sleeping on the couch next to Hideaki. She open her eyes and noticed her brother sitting up on the bed staring at her.
“Oh you’re awake.” Kaiyo said as she got up. Hideaki open his eyes as he looked around,
“If you two are tired, you know we got a home” Ryosuke said with a smile
“We’re fine” Kaiyo said, “How do you feel?” Kaiyo asked
“I’m doing better than a day ago” Ryosuke said smiling
“Told you he’s a fighter like you” Hideaki said as the nurse walked in.
“Ryosuke, glad to see you up and healthy” she said
“Thank you for watching over me” Ryosuke said
“No problem, but the one you should thank the most is your brother in law, if he didn’t donate his blood in time, we wouldn’t know what happen” the nurse said as Kaiyo looked over to Hideaki who was trying to hide his smile
“He’s not my…”Kaiyo said as the nurse stop her,
“Take good care of him, you two will make terrific parent one day” she said leaving
“Brother in law? Did you two do something that I should know?” Ryosuke asked confused
“I can’t believe I got promoted from boyfriend to brother in law fast!” Hideaki said with a smile as Kaiyo
“What is wrong with these people, just because you’re standing next to me they assume you’re my boyfriend or my husband” Kaiyo said
“What do you want them to think who I am?” Hideaki asked
“My brother or uncle or something!”
“Do I look that old?!” Hideaki asked
“I do want a brother in law” Ryosuke smiling as Kaiyo glared at him
“Don’t put ideas in his head” Kaiyo said as Hideaki laugh
“Too late, don’t worry Ryosuke, I will be sure to be your brother in law soon” he said winking at Kaiyo who rolled her eyes
“Don’t listen to him Ryosuke, he didn’t get enough sleep so he says weird things” Kaiyo said
“Hey you did promise me a week” Hideaki reminded her
“I remember that. Do not tell me you already thought up what do to” Kaiyo said as Hideaki pulled out a sheet of paper
“Yep”
Kaiyo snatched it from his hand and read it,
“Amusement Park? Shopping? Beach? This list is longer than I expected it to be” Kaiyo said
“Those places seems fun to hang out” Ryosuke said
“Then you can come along” Kaiyo said as Hideaki glared at her
“Are you sure? I mean its a couple things…”
“It’s fine right Hideaki?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki nodded his head. “Just get better in a few days and we will go together” Kaiyo said patting his head
“Spending time alone doesn’t mean having a kid around” Hideaki mumbled
--------------------
Riyo open her eyes and noticed she was lying in Jung Min’s bed. She got up and walked out the room and noticed Jung Min sleeping on the couch. She wrote a note and placed it on the table leaving the apartment.
Jung Min opens his eyes as he heard the door slam shut. He sat up quickly and went into the room finding Riyo missing. He noticed a note on the kitchen table; he picks it up reading it. He folds the note and places it in his pocket as he went into the bathroom to wash up.
He splash water on his face as he looks up at the mirror.
“I’m definitely going to win her back no matter what” Jung Min said as he left the bathroom
--------------------------------
Lillian and Hiro walked into the café as Hong Ki and Chou looked up.
“Good morning!!” Hong Ki cheerily
“Good morning” both Lillian and Hiro said
“What are you having today?” Chou asked
“Two large coffees” Hiro said
“Here you go” Hong Ki said placing two cups in front of them
“That was fast” Hiro said “Enjoy on the house!” Hong Ki said skipping off as three of them look at him weirdly
“So do we pay or don’t pay?” Hiro asked
“I guess no if he said he’s paying for it” Chou said as they both nodded slowly.
They walked out the café as Hong Ki ran out after them,
“Here you go, breakfast” Hong Ki said
“We didn’t order these…” Lillian said
“Remember on the house ^_^” Hong Ki said as he skipped back into the café
“He seems odd” Lillian said
“Who cares, I got breakfast and free coffee!” Hiro said happily walking off
“You should not be happy to take advantage of people!” Lillian yelled as she ran next to him.
“Yah why are you so cheery and skippy?” Chou asked
“Because I am” Hong Ki said
“Your happiness is getting me a headache” Chou said as Kaiyo and Hideaki walked in
“Look like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed” Hideaki said
“Neechan! Niichan!” both of them said
“One of you did something wrong right?” Kaiyo asked looking at them.
“Why accuse us first thing the morning? Don’t you trust us?” Chou asked
“No” Kaiyo said
“Awww that’s mean” Hong Ki said
“This café is her life what do you expect” Hideaki said sitting down.
“By the way, why are you guys home earlier than expected?” Chou asked
“Because we have stuff to do back here” Kaiyo said
“That stuff is?” both Chou and Hong Ki asked
“Stuff” Kaiyo said as she pours coffee into a cup mixing milk and sugar in it.
“What stuff?” both of them asked
“Personal stuff” Kaiyo said placing the cup in front of Hideaki who picked it up and took a sip
“What’s so private we can’t know?” both of them asked as Kaiyo disappeared into the stock room and walk back out
“I remember ordering a lot of stocks how come half of it is gone? I know for sure we didn’t get that much customer within a few days” Kaiyo said as both Hong Ki and Chou pointed at each other
“What did you two do?” Kaiyo asked as she puts her hands on her hip
“Hong Ki was giving away free food” Chou said
“Yah! I wasn’t the one that doze off while baking!” Hong Ki said
“You two are going to get it” Kaiyo said as she chase them around the café shop
“Do I really want to marry into this life?” Hideaki asked himself as he watches them run around.
-----------------
Lillian and Hiro walked into the police station as the others walked in behind them.
“You two seem happy” Keiichiro said putting his backpack behind his desk
“When you get free stuff you’re supposed to be happy” Hiro said as he went to his desk
“That’s called freeloading idiot” Lillian said sitting down
“Don’t tell me you went to the market to get free sampling this early?” Hayami said sitting down
“I’m not that cheap beside they don’t give free sample that early, apparently our friend over here has a boyfriend who gives out free stuff at the café” Hiro said laughing
“He’s not my boyfriend, we’re just friends” Lillian said crumbling up a paper and throwing it at Hiro
“Oh please, boyfriend is like written all over the food and his face” Hiro said “You barely broke up with Yoochun a couple of days ago and you got a new one?” Erika asked
“I do not have a boyfriend; don’t listen to Hiro who doesn’t have a life.” Lillian said
“Hey I heard it from the girls downstairs, they saw you with him, having fun like a couple” Hiro said
“I’m gonna beat those damn secretaries for spreading nonsense rumors” Lillian mumbled
“But sometimes what they say are right, is it true though?” Aya asked
“One, I was down that day so he cheered me up other than that it was just friends” Lillian said
“Who is it?” Erika asked
“That young dude that work at the café…Hong Ki” Hiro said
“Him? Seriously?!” Erika asked
“Repeating once again, I and he are friends and yes I hanged out with him yesterday is there a problem?”
“Uh yeah, one he’s on recorded a few times for fights, and even though he’s all nice and stuff, you cannot erase the past. He’s still a guy with a recorded” Erika said
“Now, now, even though he has a recorded doesn’t mean he’s bad now” Aya said
“He’s also the brother of Kim Yesung, and we all saw what he can do even though he has a decent face” Erika said
“They’re brothers that don’t mean he will be like him. They two have different personalities. We have problem with his older brother, why do we have to dislike the younger?” Aya asked
“We seen these cases happen before, brothers separate at birth and later reunite and guess what become criminals together later on” Erika said
“Yeah barely 1% of the time, you really need to stop being bias. Hong Ki did nothing wrong as of now and he’s a good person” Lillian said getting annoyed with the argument
“I don’t get why you are two on his side. He has been caught a few times already, sooner or later it will happen again” Erika said
“You know, your boyfriend is one of his close friends what about that?” Lillian asked in an angry tone
“He’s just a client of Ryo’s beside I’m pretty sure Ryo doesn’t hang around with his type” Erika said
“Even though he’s a lawyer he does have friends out of his social life. Do you even know him at all? Oh what you don’t because you barely started!” Aya yelled
Three of the guys sense a heated argument as the jump in to drag each one of them away from each other.
Hiro drag Lillian to the rooftop so she can cool off,
“Why are you getting so worked up about this?” Hiro asked
“She started it, I get if she wants to be a good cop and all but people has their past and she’s making it like he murdered somebody in which he didn’t.” Lillian replied
“Okay she’s wrong for that but you don’t need to get so angry over a small thing” Hiro said
“He’s a friend and he helped me. Beside you know him too and his personality” Lillian said
“Yes I do know him and I do know the fact that he has more feelings than just being friends with you” Hiro said
“What that is a crazy theory you came up with” Lillian said
“Hey I’m just saying what I see. Up to you if you want to believe it or not” Hiro said, “No let’s get back upstairs cause its cold” Hiro said as he pushed Lillian toward the door
As they walked back in, everybody else was walking back into the room as Jin walked out from his office with his head bandage up.
“What happen to you?” Keiichiro asked
“None of your business, where the hell were you guys at?!” Jin asked in an angry tone
“We just stepped a few minutes to cool things off that’s all” Keiichiro said
“Well then next time leave a note or something” Jin yelled
“Somebody woke up on the wrong side”, Hiro mumbled to Lillian
“Probably his girlfriend gave him that” Lillian said with a smirk
Jung Min walked into the room as he glare at Jin,
“What the hell are you doing here?!” Jin asked as Jung Min walked over and gave him a punched causing him to fall as the others pulled Jung Min back while Erika went over to help Jin up who wanted to jump toward Jung Min but Keiichiro got in between.
“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Jin yelled as he got up
“That’s for doing what you did to Riyo last night” Jung Min yelled
“What I do with my girlfriend got nothing to do with you” Jin said glaring at Jung Min wiping his blood away from his lips
“Got nothing to do with me? Let me tell you something, she was my girlfriend before you and then she disappeared. Things aren’t done with me and her yet. So let me tell you, I thought about giving up but now I can see you’re an ass, I’m going to win her back” Jung Min said as he left the room.
“Wow that is something in the morning” Hayami said
“What do you think going to happen now” Lillian asked
“I know Jung Min and he won’t give up trust me. He searched for her over 2 years traveling everywhere he could to find her what do you think?” Hiro asked
“True” both Lillian and Aya said as they watched Jin storm into his room slamming the door.
“This is going to be a hell day for us” all of them said
--------------------------------------
“So tell me when does this whole week start?” Kaiyo asked
“How about today?” Hideaki asked
“Eh? That fast?” Kaiyo asked
“Yeah, the first thing we should do as a couple is…” Hideaki said looking at his list,
“Grocery shopping!” Kaiyo yelled
“That was not on my list” Hideaki said
“I need to go buy food, those rugrats ate everything and didn’t tell me now I have nothing to cook” Kaiyo said as she ran off.
“This doesn’t count!” Hideaki said
“Yes it does, you said today so this is one” Kaiyo said
“Buying food was not on my list”
“Haha well now it is, come on your slow” Kaiyo said going into a grocery store as Hideaki pushed the cart,
“You know, maybe this is a good practice if we do go together often” Hideaki said as Kaiyo gave him a weird look as she put food into the cart,
“What do you want to eat today?” Kaiyo asked
“Anything is fine if you’re cooking it” Hideaki said with a smile as Kaiyo smiled at him.
They continue to walk around buying food, she turns around and noticed he was gone and the next minute he came back with junk food in his arms throwing it down in the cart.
“Okay I’m not paying for those. Are you trying to kill all of them with junk food?!” Kaiyo asked looking at it
“Stocking up that’s all ^_^” Hideaki said
“You’re paying then” Kaiyo said
“Sure” Hideaki said and the next thing Kaiyo disappeared and came back with stuff in her arms putting it in the cart, “I said I’m paying doesn’t mean you drain my account” Hideaki said as Kaiyo skipped off
Once they were done, they drove home. While unpacking the grocery bags from the car, Ryo drove into the parkway.
“Why are you back so early?” Ryo asked
“I wanted to see what destruction you all did to my house while I was away” Kaiyo said
“Hey whatever mess is in there, not my fault. I was barely at home.” Ryo said
“So you’re saying that all those cups of coffee in the sink weren’t yours’?” Kaiyo asked
“Okay that might have been mines other than that nothing else” Ryo said raising his hands to surrender
“What about the pile of clothes in your room?” Hideaki asked
“There’s a pile of clothes in there?!” Kaiyo asked
“It’s like a mountain now” Hideaki said
“Okay not all mines, Hong Ki and Ryosuke contributed” Ryo said
“You see what happens when you leave them alone” Kaiyo said as she walks in the house
“If she never goes on vacation again with me, I’m blaming you three” Hideaki said holding bags of grocery.
As they walked into the house, they heard yelling and fussing upstairs,
“And you want to marry her? I tell you run for your life” Ryo said patting Hideaki on the shoulder
“Too late for that…” Hideaki said as Kaiyo walked downstairs with four full baskets of clothes.
“Seriously? How many clothes you three go through per day?” Kaiyo asked
“That is a very good question which I don’t know so where is everybody?” Ryo asked hoping to change the subject before he gets murdered as Kaiyo disappeared to the laundry room.
“Hong Ki is at the café and Ryosuke is in the hospital” Hideaki said
“Hospital?!” Ryo asked as Hideaki covered his mouth
“Don’t depress her or else I will make you depress” Hideaki said as he let go of Ryo mouth.
“What happen?” Ryo asked
“Ryosuke got stab yesterday in the street” Hideaki said putting up the food in the kitchen
“Who’s the culprit?” Ryo asked
“Only two people who has grudges against me, Toma and Hyun Joong” Hideaki said
“Wait Hyun Joong as in the one that was hanging around us for a while? What is wrong with you for letting him near us? You do know we cannot defend ourselves!” Ryo exclaim as Hideaki smack him
“At first I thought he was decent who knew he had motive and to think he kiss my girl” Hideaki said through his teeth
“Oh you’re lucky that only happen, if she wasn’t confused with you, she probably go for him” Ryo said as Hideaki glared
“Hey I’m just saying” Ryo said, “Always how is Ryosuke?”
“He’s doing well, will be discharge probably in a day or two” Hideaki said
“So are you two…like any closer?” Ryo asked
“Well we will soon, eventually the good part of this whole incident is that since she owe me, she will be spending more time with me” Hideaki said
“That is totally evil you know that. Taking advantage of her when she’s vulnerable” Ryo pointed out
“Yes it is, but I have to do that due to her always running away.” Hideaki said as they stop talking when Kaiyo came out
“I pity whoever marry you three cannot do your own laundry. If I was gone even longer probably the whole room will be filled with dirty clothes” Kaiyo said
“That is mean” Ryo said making a face as Kaiyo went into the kitchen to start dinner
Hideaki sat on the couch as he begins to type something on his laptop. Ryo walked into the kitchen as he pours himself a cup of water.
“So...how was the trip?” Ryo asked
“Good, are you free tonight?” Kaiyo asked cutting up some vegetables
“Why?”
“I’m making dinner tonight and well stay for dinner, invite a friend or two over is good” Kaiyo said
“Uh…why?” Ryo asked again
“Because I don’t want to eat dinner alone with Hideaki” Kaiyo said
“Uh…you stand in a room with him before alone, a dinner won’t kill” Ryo said trying not to laugh
“Ha. Ha. Ha not funny. Now it’s a different level so I’m freaking out again. I said I won’t run since he helped me out a lot so to make it less awkward, you’re staying for dinner” Kaiyo said pointing a knife at him
“Okay, okay put that weapon down” Ryo said moving the knife to a different side. “How about I call a friend and see if she’s available we can double date” Ryo said
“Sure that’s good” Kaiyo said as Ryo turn around and dial a number,
“Hello?” the voice asked over the phone
“Hey, are you free tonight?”
“Yeah why?”
“Do you want to come over for dinner? My sister in law is making dinner” Ryo said
“Sure”
“Sister in law?!” Kaiyo asked as Ryo hangs up after saying another few words
“What else you want me to call you? I mean sooner or later it will happen right?” Ryo asked as Kaiyo glared at him.
About three hours later Kaiyo was setting the table as Hideaki drag Ryo aside,
“Why are you still here?” Hideaki asked
“Cause neechan made dinner?” Ryo said
“I get that she made dinner why are you still here?” Hideaki asked
“That I…” Before Ryo answer there was a doorbell, “Doorbell” he said as he went to open it to see Aya standing in front him dressed up.
“Glad you can make it” Ryo said letting her in as she handed him a bottle of wine, “This look familiar” Ryo said
“I got it from your stack” Aya said
“Eh?” Ryo said as Aya walked in taking off her coat.
“So you live here pretty big” Aya said walking around as she noticed two people at the dinner table setting up as Ryo took her over to them.
“This is Aya” Ryo said as Aya bow half way
“Nice to meet you” Aya said with a smile
“These two are my neechan and nichan” Ryo said as Hideaki look at him. “Okay his name his Hideaki and she’s Kaiyo. They’re married” Ryo said as nodded their heads as Kaiyo stop and realized what he said
“We’re not…” before she could finish Hideaki push her back into the kitchen
“So why invite me all sudden?” Aya asked as she sat down on the couch as Ryo sat down next to her.
“What do you think? I let you meet two of the most important people in my life” Ryo said as Aya pretend not to understand
“Nope don’t get it” Aya said as Ryo begin to tickle her as Kaiyo and Hideaki look at them.
“So odd that he actually is dating a cop” Kaiyo said
“That’s Ryo but at least he’s stable instead of having gazillion girlfriends every week” Hideaki said.
“True, I do hope he find his happiness after what happen” Kaiyo said
“You know I’m liking this husband and wife thing” Hideaki said as Kaiyo smack him with a role of paper towel
“You sure dream a lot when you’re not even sleeping” Kaiyo said
All sudden Hideaki pulled her body closer to him as they stare into each other eyes for a while.
“You do know we have company here” Kaiyo said
“And?”
She slowly leans forward when suddenly the oven bell dinged,
“The bread is done” Kaiyo said getting back to reality as she walked toward the oven
“So close” Hideaki mumbled
After dinner Ryo walked Aya to her car as she got in,
“It’s actually nice to meet your family after so long” Aya said
“It’s a once in a lifetime so cherish it” Ryo said as Aya rolled her eyes.
“But it’s nice to spend more quality time with you” Aya said putting her arms around him giving a kiss on the lips
“Okay, drive safe now” Ryo said as he closed the door to her car.
Hong Ki driving up the parkway in his scooter as Aya back out of it,
“Isn’t that Aya?” Hong Ki asked himself as he notices Ryo waving at her as she wave goodbye before driving off. “But I thought he was dating Erika?”
Hong Ki got off his scooter as Ryo looked at him,
“What?” Ryo asked
“Nothing, so…”
“Why is your scooter yellow?” Ryo asked
“Because I like yellow” Hong Ki said as he was about to ask the question again when Ryo stop him,
“Kaiyo is home and she isn’t happy with the mess you made” Ryo said smirking
“Damn it she saw it?!” Hong Ki asked as he ran in
“What do you expect it’s her house” Ryo said to himself as he walked in after Hong Ki
-----------------
The next day after Ryosuke was at home, Kaiyo was looking through some stuff as she noticed Hideaki standing in the doorway
“Yes?” Kaiyo asked
“Day 2 is today” Hideaki said
“Yes and?”
“Time to go”
“Go where?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki grab her hand and drag her down the stairs.
“Hanging out as a couple” Hideaki said as he pushes her into the car
“Isn’t this like kidnapping?” Kaiyo asked
“No” Hideaki said driving out of the driveway. Soon they arrive at the mall as Kaiyo gave him a weird look,
“Why are we at the mall?” Kaiyo asked
“Because this is where couples hang out” Hideaki said
“What statistics have you been reading?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki shrugged, “Since we’re here I need to buy some clothes for Ryosuke, he’s growing out of his” Kaiyo said as she walked in before Hideaki
“It’s a couple you can’t walk ahead without me” Hideaki said as Kaiyo pretends to ignore him.
As they walked around side by side, Hideaki tried to reach down and grab her hand but she kept moving it, he let out a sigh as he noticed she was more into buying clothes.
As they stop at the men department, Kaiyo grab some dress shirts as she told Hideaki to go try them on.
“Why am I trying on clothes for Ryo?” Hideaki asked
“Ryo?” Kaiyo asked
“He wear dress shirts right?” Hideaki asked coming out wearing a black dress shirt as Kaiyo stood in front of him fixing it,
“Yeah he does, and you do too. I do notice stuff.” Kaiyo said as she stood next to him. “Perfect” she said with a smile. “Now go change so we can go pay” Kaiyo said as Hideaki stood there a bit shock what she just said.
Kaiyo push him toward the fitting room as she walked around looking for some more stuff. After paying they walked around window shopping, Kaiyo noticed Hideaki hesitating to try holding her hand again. She shook her head lightly; she reached down and holds his hand as he looked at her. She interlock her fingers with his as she smile,
“First time seeing you hesitate” Kaiyo said smiling as they begin to walk again but this time holding hands.
“I thought you didn’t want to move that fast” Hideaki asked
“Since this is a couple date we’re supposed to be a couple, right?” Kaiyo asked as they continue to go shopping.
While standing in front of a store, she noticed a figure standing distance staring at her.
“Hideaki, I’m thirsty, can you go get me something to drink?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki nodded his head and left. Kaiyo made sure he was gone as she walked across to where she saw the figure was standing.
“Why are you following me?” Kaiyo asked
“I can’t go to the same mall as you?” Hyun Joong asked
“There is no rule against that but every store I went with Hideaki, you’re in it. You really think I’m that stupid?” Kaiyo asked
Hyun Joong moved closer to her but she backed away,
“What do you want?” Kaiyo asked
“Your choice is him?”
“And?”
“Him really? I thought we had something” Hyun Joong asked
“To be honest, when I think of it now, your just an obstacle that helped me realized that you’re not the one but he is” Kaiyo said as Hyun Joong glared at her.
“I guess we have nothing to say any more” Hyun Joong said, “Let me ask you one more time, your final choice is him?” Hyun Joong asked
“I already said it, my final choice is Hideaki” Kaiyo said as Hyun Joong nodded his head,
“You will regret it, watch” Hyun Joong said walking off as Kaiyo watch him leave.
“Got rid of him, so no more problems to focus” Kaiyo said as Hideaki return with two drinks in his hand,
“Is everything okay?” Hideaki asked
“Yeah I just got to deal with something but it’s done” Kaiyo said as she took a drink from his hand
“Where do you want to go next?” Hideaki asked
“Um…probably to the grocery store again…have to buy some stuff for Ryosuke meal” Kaiyo said
“Sure”
When they got home, they noticed Ryosuke lying on the couch as Hong Ki sat there talking.
“How long do you think he has been talking?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki shrugged
Ryosuke sat up and noticed Kaiyo and Hideaki was home as he walks over to them,
“Thank you for coming home” he hug Kaiyo as Hideaki laugh
“What did he do to you?” Hideaki asked
“Talk nonstop. Please don’t ever, ever leave me alone with him” Ryosuke said as Hong Ki noticed Ryosuke was gone.
“Yah! I’m not done yet!” Hong Ki yelled
“Yes you are and do not come near me” Ryosuke said
“I’m going out anyways, don’t wait up!” Hong Ki said leaving
“What did he talk about?” Kaiyo asked
“About his “fanfic”” Ryosuke said air quoting
“Fanfic?”
“Yeah fan fiction like you write out of your imagination and put it online for others to read instead of publishing it” Ryosuke said
“What is it about?” Hideaki asked
“Him falling for that cop that usually hangs out at your café and something about assassins” Ryosuke
“Assassins?!” both Hideaki and Kaiyo asked
“Something like that how one guy is deeply in loves with this other one but she doesn’t have a single clue” Ryosuke said looking through the grocery bags. “I’m going to take these to the kitchen” Ryosuke said taking it to the kitchen as both Hideaki and Kaiyo stood there in shock
“Does he know about us?” Kaiyo asked
“I don’t think so. If he did, he would have confronted us…maybe he has a big imagination?” Hideaki asked
“Let’s hope so” Kaiyo said as both she and Hideaki looked worried
The next day Ryo rolled around in bed when suddenly a bright sun light shines in his face.
“Yah! Somebody kill the sunlight!” Ryo yelled as he hides under the blanket but was pulled off
“Rise and shine!!!” Ryosuke yelled
“What the hell is wrong with you?! It’s barely 10AM!” Ryo yelled
“Time to get ready to go to the amusement park!” Ryosuke said trying to pull Ryo off the bed but he cling onto the bed post
“I’m tired leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!” Ryo yelled as Ryosuke kept pulling on him.
“Its family day and you better get off the bed or else neechan will come in here and get you herself that’s what she said” as Ryo sat up.
“I’m not part of your family why include me?” Ryo asked
“She said you are, so get your behind off that bed!” Ryosuke said as Ryo stood up and made his way to the bathroom slowly with a pillow. “And don’t fall asleep on the toilet!”
Ryo closed the bathroom door as he went to the bathtub. He put the pillow in the tub as he got in and lay down.
“As if I’m going to wake up at 10” Ryo mumbled closing his eyes.
Ryosuke ran downstairs as Kaiyo and Hideaki was packing stuff in a backpack.
“I woke him up” Ryosuke happily.
“Did you make sure he got off the bed?” Kaiyo asked
“Yes and he walk into the bathroom” Ryosuke replied.
“Did he take a pillow in there?” Hideaki asked
“Yeah”
“You do know he can sleep anywhere even in the bathtub” Kaiyo said as Ryosuke made a face as he storm upstairs.
He opens the bathroom door and saw Ryo sleeping in the bathtub.
“You pick the wrong day to mess with me” Ryosuke said as he turn on the head shower as it sprayed water onto Ryo who jumped up screaming as Kaiyo and Hideaki downstairs tried not to laugh at the commotion upstairs
“What the hell was that?!” Ryo yelled
“Waking you up. Don’t you ruin my day” Ryosuke warn, “Now wash up cause we’re leaving in 20 minutes and don’t dress too fancy” Ryosuke said as he walked off
“He’s crazy” Ryo mumble as he turns off the shower head.
“Don’t even think about going back to sleep! The next thing I’m going to throw on you is not going to be cold water” Ryosuke yelled as Ryo let out a heavy sigh
Once they arrive at the amusement park, they begin playing all the games there and riding most of the rides.
“I’m tired, I’m sitting down” Ryo complained as he sat down as Ryosuke looked at him and then he looked over at the merry-go-round and smile.
“You want a break?” Ryosuke asked as Ryo nodded his head. “Okay, but first you have to close your eyes and I will lead you to a very comfy spot” Ryosuke said as Ryo gave him a look and then close his head.
Ryosuke then lead Ryo toward the merry go round as they pay their fee to get in. “You can open it now” Ryosuke said as Ryo eyes widen,
“Oh hell no, I’m not getting on this crap” Ryo said as the women standing there gave him a look.
“Mommy that man said this is crap” a boy said as the mother look at Ryo.
“I meant it in a good way kid don’t get all defensive” Ryo said
“Then prove it to the kid” Ryosuke said as Ryo mumble under his breath and got onto a horse
“I cannot believe I’m doing this” Ryo said as Ryosuke sat on the horse in front of him.
“Smile and wave!!” Ryosuke said as the merry-go-round started
“Is it me or Ryo is riding the merry go round?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki looked and laugh
“This is a moment to remember” Hideaki said taking out his camera and took a picture.
“Aniki!!! Neechan!!” Ryosuke yelled waving as they wave back “They’re wavingggggg” Ryosuke taunt Ryo who glare at him and smile while waving back
“Yah! No pictures!!” Ryo yelled as he got up halfway,
“Please stay seated until the ride is over” the intercom said as a few kids behind him snicker
“I cannot believe this is happening to me” Ryo mumble
When the merry go round was done Ryo ran next to Kaiyo as he glare at him,
“Hand over the evidence”
“Haha like that will ever happen” Hideaki said
“I’m a lawyer and I can so get it from you” Ryo said
“Really?” Kaiyo asked as she and Hideaki look at him as he took one step back
“That is unfair, two against one” Ryo said
“Aniki let’s ride that thing together” Ryosuke said tugging on Hideaki leading him away
Ryo sat down as he let out a sigh,
“What is with you all? I have on free day and I’m being dragged here” Ryo said
“It’s family day and beside you need to get some fresh air and let out some sweat. You’re stuck in an office all day so this is good for your health” Kaiyo said as Ryo rolled his eyes
“You know, you three look like a family and I’m like the outsider uncle” Ryo said
“Really?” Kaiyo asked
“Hideaki is the dad; you’re the mom while Ryosuke is the son. One happy family, this will so complete Hong Ki’s theory” Ryo said
“Theory?”
“He somehow believe Ryosuke is your son with Hideaki” Ryo said
“No wonder that bastard thought of that” Kaiyo mumble
“Who?” Ryo asked
“Nobody, since you’re here, enjoy it” Kaiyo said standing up as Ryo let out a sigh again and walked behind Kaiyo.
When Hideaki and Ryosuke return as Kaiyo wipe the sweat off Ryosuke face,
“You seem to have more fun” as Ryosuke nodded his head “Where do you want to go now?” Kaiyo asked
“I’m hungry…but then I want to ride something before eating” Ryosuke said
“How about me and Kaiyo go get you food while you take Ryo” Hideaki said as Ryosuke nodded his head.
“Oh hell no, last time I went with him I went on the merry go round!” Ryo yelled
“This one is even better!” Ryosuke said as he pulled Ryo toward another direction
“It’s like we have two children already” Hideaki said
“Good, we don’t have to produce anymore” Kaiyo said as Hideaki gave her a look
“Hey you said those two are children so I’m good” Kaiyo joked as she ran off while Hideaki chased her
“So where is this so called ride you want to get on?” Ryo asked as Ryosuke pointed to the one in front of them called ‘Lighting Thriller’
“Are you sure you’re up to the challenge?” Ryo asked as Ryosuke look at him
“I’m the one that should be asking you that question” Ryosuke said
“It sounds like a challenge” Ryo said with a smirk
“You’re on” Ryosuke said shaking Ryo’s hand as they got on the roller coaster. The ride begin off slowly,
“You better prepare yourself” Ryo said
“Haha maybe you should too” Ryosuke said laughing
Soon the roller coaster drop fast as it begins to speed faster, about 3 minutes later they got off as Ryo face look sick.
“I should not have eaten that corndog before getting on” Ryo mumbled as Ryosuke smack his hand on Ryo’s back
“How was it?” Ryosuke asked as Ryo glare at him. “Awww you look really sick and freaked out” Ryosuke said as Ryo stood up straight,
“I’m fine” Ryo said as Ryosuke walked up to the picture board and purchase something,
“Well in this picture you look more scared than enjoying the ride” Ryosuke said waving the photo in front of Ryo who tried to snatch it.
“Give it”
“Never” Ryosuke said running off as Ryo chase him.
“I wonder where those rugrats are.” Kaiyo said looking around as Hideaki put a fries in his mouth,
“Probably he’s out torturing Ryo somewhere” Hideaki answered, “Hey look they’re back and seems like he did torture Ryo somewhere” as he pointed out as Ryo and Ryosuke was running
“Give it back!!!” Ryo yelled as Ryosuke sat next to Hideaki
“You just got injured don’t run so much” Kaiyo said as she wipes his face with a handkerchief
“Aniki tell him to give that photo back” Ryo whined as Ryosuke showed Hideaki the photo,
“Dude you look sick in that photo and the same time scared” Hideaki said trying not to laugh
“You two are both evil” Ryo said as Kaiyo handed him a bottle of water,
“Drink so you won’t puke” Kaiyo said as he gulp the water.
“Eat up cause you still have a lot of games to go play” Hideaki said eating a sandwich as he offer Ryo some,
“Are you like crazy I almost puke my guts out and you tell me to eat?” Ryo asked
“Just being nice” Hideaki said eating
About half an hour later they begin playing more games; a few Hideaki played and won stuff animals for three of them.
“Let’s take a photo together” Ryosuke said as he asked a passerby to take a photo of them. Ryo tried to walk away when Hideaki grab him back by the jacket,
“Don’t you even try” Hideaki warn
After a photo of four them together, Ryo ran up to thank the person and took the camera,
“Now it’s you three” Ryo said as the other three move in closer as he took a picture. “Okay now just the two of you” Ryo said as Ryosuke ran out before Kaiyo protest.
“I have a feeling this photo will be somewhere in your room” Kaiyo said as Hideaki laugh,
“I’m not that creepy yet” Hideaki said as Ryo took a photo after counting to three
After they were done they walked around for a while as Ryosuke noticed a photo booth,
“Ooo I want to take a photo in that one!” Ryosuke said as he drags both Hideaki and Kaiyo in it. “Hurry up Ryo-san!” Ryosuke yelled as Ryo got into the booth
“It’s a bit tight in here” Ryo said as they took a few photos together making faces. When suddenly Ryo’s phone rang as he stop out
“Yah!” all three of them yelled as the camera flash. Once they were done, they got out and waited for the photo as Ryo was standing distance talking on the phone.
About 5 minutes later he came back,
“Hey sorry I got to go back to the office, apparently there is a case to handle” Ryo said putting his phone in his pocket.
“We’re dropping you off since you have no ride” Hideaki said as they pack up the stuff.
While driving Ryosuke was staring out the window as Ryo sat there texting,
“I need to go home to change, can’t meet the client wearing clothes like this” Ryo said
“Your work outfit is in the trunk with your briefcase is in there too” Kaiyo said.
“How would you know I might need it?” Ryo asked
“I noticed things don’t think I’m that stupid” Kaiyo said as Hideaki stop in front of the lawyer office,
“Here you go, when you want to get home, call taxi cause I’m not picking you up” Hideaki said as Ryo rolled his eyes,
“Thank you and bye!” Ryo said getting off and getting his stuff in the trunk and ran into the building.
“So where off to now since we still have some free time?” Hideaki asked
“Let’s go shopping” Ryosuke said
“I just went shopping for you yesterday” Kaiyo said
“Yes for clothes but I want stuff in my room” Ryosuke as Hideaki parked in front of a store as they got off.
“We have to walk that far?!” Kaiyo asked with a look on her face,
“Yes up there is too full” Hideaki said as he held Kaiyo’s hand as they walk down the sidewalk as Ryosuke walk in front of them.
He suddenly stop as he looks at them and pointed at the store they look at what he was pointing as Kaiyo shook her head as Hideaki look at it.
“Aren’t you two getting marry soon why not try stuff on now?” Ryosuke asked
“Do not put ideas in his head” Kaiyo said through her teeth
“That’s a good idea” Hideaki said
“I thought its one activity per day this is more than one” Kaiyo said trying to pull him away
“I have to do something to do at least 2 days or so, so let’s do more activities today” Hideaki said as he pull Kaiyo into the store as Ryosuke follow in behind.
They were welcome by the people in the store as Hideaki push Kaiyo toward the bride side to look at dresses while he took Ryosuke over to the groom side, about half an hour later Kaiyo came out wearing a strapless wedding gown with a long trail as she walked around the jewelry section looking at certain ones. She stops at one section as she asked the salesperson for the pair of rings,
“This is a couple wedding rings, really popular now” she said
“Can you do engraving in it?” Kaiyo asked as the salesperson nodded. “I want this pair and can you write this in it” as Kaiyo wrote on the paper as the salesperson look at it.
“No problem when do you want to pick it up?” she asked
“Tomorrow if it can be done” Kaiyo said handing her a credit card for deposit.
She then walk back to the main room where Hideaki was fixing Ryosuke tux as Ryosuke look over to his right as Kaiyo enter in.
“Neechan!! You look beautiful” Ryosuke said as Hideaki looked at her and smile
“The photographer is ready for you” the saleswoman said as they walked into a room where they were going to take a photo.
“Why are you staring nonstop at me?” Kaiyo asked
“You look like an angel in that outfit” Hideaki said as he tucks her hair behind her ears as she felt her cheeks turning warm.
While waiting for the photographer to fix up the set, Hideaki stood from distance as he watches Kaiyo and Ryosuke talking and smiling. Kaiyo twirl around in her gown as Ryosuke laugh. Hideaki took out his phone and record the moment as he save it on his phone.
The first few photos where Kaiyo and Hideaki, then later they were solo for the photos and lastly with Ryosuke. After they were done, Kaiyo and Ryosuke went back to change as Hideaki went to talk to the photographer,
“How soon can you develop those photos?” Hideaki asked
“Most likely the set you want won’t be done until next week” the photographer said
“I want a copy of the photos we took together just regular size by either today no later than tomorrow” Hideaki said, “And money isn’t an issue” Hideaki said taking out his wallet
“Sure no problem” the photographer said as Hideaki handed him a few hundred bucks. “I will be sure it will be done at least today” the photographer said taking what was handed to him.
He went to get change as Kaiyo and Ryosuke waited for him out in front as he went to the cashier to pay.
“Do you want to buy them or rent them?” Hideaki asked
“Buy but we won’t pick it up till later just put it on the side for us” Hideaki said as he handed the woman his credit card.
“No problem”
After they were done they went to the furniture store as Ryosuke walked around looking for tables as Hideaki and Kaiyo walked on the other side.
“I wanted to ask why you want to do everything within this week. Something going on I don’t know?” Kaiyo asked
“Oh nothing, I might be going somewhere for a while so I don’t want you to forget me” Hideaki said with a smile. “Plus I want you to learn to love me” Hideaki said
“Somehow I don’t know should I worry or not” Kaiyo said as Hideaki hug her from behind.
“First step to loving me is to worry for me” Hideaki said with a smile as Kaiyo smack him on the head
“You and your theories >.<” Kaiyo said as she walked off to find Ryosuke.
“Maybe it’s the last time I can spend time with you” Hideaki whisper as he watches Kaiyo talking to Ryosuke.
The next day Kaiyo stare outside the café as it began to rain,
“Where’s aniki?” Hong Ki asked
“He went somewhere for a few days” Kaiyo said
“It just suddenly starts raining I wonder why?” Hong Ki asked
“Weather is just moody” Kaiyo said
“I feel like something bad might be happening” Hong Ki said
“So everytime it rains something bad will happen?” Ryosuke asked
“Yes” Hong Ki said
“You sure imagine a lot” Ryosuke said as Kaiyo kept looking outside.
Hideaki was gone for at least 2 days as Kaiyo kept calling him but got no replied,
“Maybe it’s on a mission or something” Kaiyo said as she open the door to the house. She noticed a figure sitting on the couch watching tv,
“You do know you have a cellphone right?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki turn around
“It ran out of battery” Hideaki said
“Busy with a work?” Kaiyo asked as Hideaki stood up and walk over to her.
“Yeah pretty much, just want to handle some stuff” Hideaki said
“So you thought of where to go next?” Kaiyo asked
“I rented a beach house, start packing” Hideaki said
“What?” Kaiyo asked
“Yep where are Ryosuke and Ryo?” Hideaki asked
“Ryosuke is in his room doing his homework, Ryo is at work or drinking one of that” Kaiyo said
“I’ll go tell him” Hideaki said as he went upstairs before Kaiyo said anything. Hideaki walked into the room where Ryosuke was sitting at the desk studying.
“Hey buddy how are classes going?” Hideaki asked
“Slow trying to catch up as much as possible” Ryosuke said, “where have you been?” Ryosuke asked
“Doing something, anyways start packing, I rented a beach house and since it’s almost the weekend, why not have a bit fun” Hideaki said as Ryosuke nodded his head as Hideaki patted it
They arrive at the beach house as Ryosuke ran inside first,
“It seems like he likes it” Hideaki said
“Of course it’s a short distance from the ocean and he can go camping there too” Kaiyo said walking in after Ryosuke.
After eating dinner, they wash the dishes together and later sat by the fire to watch tv. Hideaki noticed Ryosuke was falling asleep as well Kaiyo. He laid her head gently on his shoulder while Ryosuke settle his head on Hideaki’s lap. Hideaki pulled a blanket over them as he stroke both of their hair. He looked at the fire as a tear drop rolled down his eyes.
He knew this will be all over and they were starting to become a family. What he is doing is to protect them. Killing two birds with one stone is the only way to handle this. He held Kaiyo tightly toward his body.
“I’m sorry” Hideaki whispered as he kisses her head lightly.
Hideaki woke up the next morning to find himself sitting on the couch alone. He open the door to find Kaiyo standing outside near the ocean. He walked out there as Kaiyo turn around,
“I always wanted to watch the sunrise” Kaiyo said
“Why is that?” Hideaki asked
“Because it’s a brand new day, everything that you do that past night is over and you don’t have to return back to it again.” Kaiyo said
“It’s foggy today” Hideaki said
“I know, pity I can see it” Kaiyo said as she turn around to look at Hideaki, “Do you want to watch sunrise with me?” she asked
“I want to” Hideaki said as he walk up to her and hug her. “I do. I wish to watch it with you every day, sunrise and sunset” Hideaki said as Kaiyo look at him.
“That’s a promise” Kaiyo said holding out her pinky as Hideaki hook his with her.
“I also promise to always protect you and Ryosuke, no matter what happen I will always be there for you guys” Hideaki said as he pull her into his arms
Ryosuke came out with his backpack and a map as he ran up to them,
“Let’s go hiking” Ryosuke said
“How about you two go, and I will go make lunch” Kaiyo said as Ryosuke and Hideaki nodded their heads. She walked back into the house as both Hideaki and Ryosuke begin walking on the hiking trail.
Ryosuke took some pictures as Hideaki watches him; they stop at the bench to take a break as Hideaki went over to the rail.
“Ryosuke, when I’m not here, take good care of your sister” Hideaki said as Ryosuke look up from his camera.
“Something wrong?” Ryosuke asked
“Sometimes I can’t be there for her because of what I do, so try to watch out for her and help her” Hideaki said
“I understand don’t want your future wife to run around with other guys right?” Ryosuke asked as Hideaki smile
“That too but just make sure she’s healthy” Hideaki said as Ryosuke nodded his head
“No problem, aniki…”Ryosuke said as Hideaki look at him
“Yes?”
“Thank you for saving my life over and over again and for protecting my sister all this time” Ryosuke said as Hideaki gave him a hug
“No problem buddy, that’s what family do right?” Hideaki said patting his head.
“We will always be a family right?” Ryosuke asked
“Yes, I promise you that no matter what happen, we are always a family” Hideaki said pinky swearing with Ryosuke, “What do you want for passing your exam?” Hideaki asked
“Why?” Ryosuke asked
“A present for you” Hideaki said as Ryosuke dig into his jacket and pulled out a piece of paper and hand it to Hideaki who just laugh
“Seriously?” Hideaki asked as Ryosuke nodded his head. “Fine I will see what I can do hopefully your sister won’t kill me” Hideaki said as Ryosuke patted his shoulder.
They begin to make their way back to the house when they saw Kaiyo setting up their lunches outside on the porch. They sat there eating and talking like a happily family. Later in the evening, Hideaki went out to see Kaiyo standing at the beach looking at the ocean.
“Waiting for sunrise again?”
“Just getting some fresh air and listening to the waves crashing” Kaiyo said “I really do hope we can live like this now. No need to worry to kill or watch for enemies or even take revenge” Kaiyo said
“It will be all over soon I promise” he said as Kaiyo turn to look at him.
“Give me your hand” Kaiyo said as Hideaki gave her his hand. She placed something in his hand and closes it. He open it again as he noticed a ring there
“You should hold onto this, maybe one day you will need it” Kaiyo said placing a ring in his hand
“Isn’t this a couple ring?” Hideaki asked
“Yes it is, and I have the other one, maybe one day, we will use it” Kaiyo said as she smile at him
“Why give it to me now?” Hideaki asked
“For you to hold on to it like I’m with you” Kaiyo said as Hideaki clench it in his hand. He went up to her and places his two hands on her face and pulls her in for a kiss.
The next day, they spent half the day on the beach playing and flying kites. Kaiyo watches as Ryosuke and Hideaki laugh and play.
“I made the right choice” she whispered as Hideaki helped Ryosuke fly the kite.
------------------------
The doorbell rang nonstop as Seungho reached over to grab his phone to see what time it was.
“Just barely 11AM” he mumbled as he got up grabbing a shirt to put on as he walked outside to open the door.
“Do you know what fucking time it is?” Seungho asked with his eyes closed
“You have an urgent delivery” the delivery man said as Seungho sign for it and close the door.
“What is it?” Aiba asked scratching his head and yawning.
“Some urgent mail…frommm” Seungho said squinting his eyes
“From who?”
“Aniki” Seungho said in a surprise tone as he open it. In there was just a letter as Aiba grab the letter and read through it as Seungho read over his shoulder,
“By the time you two receive this letter, something might have happen to me already. I been expecting this day to come but didn’t know it would come faster than I thought. The only way I can protect my love ones is to destroy the ones that is out there trying to hurt them. Only with them gone, Kaiyo and everybody else can live a happy life. Even though you say I’m the best, I’m not. My weakness is Kaiyo and Ryosuke and now they are getting hurt, I have to do something. The only way is to get rid of them even when it means taking my life.
The reason you’re receiving this letter is I hope you all can be there for her when I’m gone. Watch over her and make sure she lives a happy life with her brother and the others. I know it’s selfish of me to ask you for such thing when you left this life of blood behind. Just think of it as repaying what you owe me and after it, the slate is wiped clean and you guys do not owe me anything. If something were to happen to me, go find Sho, and he will do what I told him to do.
I know that you two are saying how stupid I am to do this, but doing my best to protect them from the dangers that lie ahead, I’m happy to do it. She was the first and only one to capture my heart and I finally got hers to open up to me but I guess fate isn’t on our side. No matter what happen, tell her that I always will love her. You guys are my best men and always get the job done, let’s just say this is the last mission before it all ends. It was great meeting each and every one of you. Take care
-Hideaki”
Seungho and Aiba look at each other as Seungho pulled out his phone and dial a number,
“Yes I need to bus ticket to Tokyo” Seungho said as he and Aiba ran to the room to pack.
“They said the bus will be departing in 4 hours” Seung Ho said,
“No time just go to the car rental place to rent a car” Aiba said “Don’t know what the hell is wrong with him just hope we can come in time to stop him” Aiba said as they continue to pack.
Aiba grabbed the letter and noticed another piece of paper inside,
“What is it?” Seung Ho asked
“A to do list” Aiba said
“Why did he give it to us?” Seung Ho asked
“He wants us to complete what he left off in case” Aiba said shoving the letter into his bag. “Are you done?” Aiba asked
“Yeah” Seung Ho said as he went into the kitchen and then returns with bags of junk food
“This is a trip to save a life not a field trip” Aiba said
“I know but I will get hungry on the way and we cannot afford to waste time to stop to buy food” Seung Ho said as he walk out the apartment with his bags
“I just hope we can get there in time” Aiba said leaving the apartment and locking it.
-------------------------
The day ended early due to Ryosuke having to go study for his upcoming exam. Ryosuke waved at them as he left the house to go to the library,
“Remember to call Ryo to pick you up” Kaiyo said as Ryosuke nodded his head.
Kaiyo looked at the clock and noticed it was 6 already. She begins to clean up and cook dinner. She then sat down to watch tv when the door open as Hideaki walked in.
“Where have you been?” Kaiyo asked
“Somewhere why miss me?” Hideaki asked
“Not going to answer that” Kaiyo said, “I made dinner if you want to eat any” Kaiyo said as Hideaki nodded his head.
“I’m going to wash up first” Hideaki said walking off as Kaiyo went to the kitchen to reheat the food.
After dinner they went to their separate room as Kaiyo laid on the bed and stare at the ceiling,
“Should I?” Kaiyo asked herself
Hideaki walked out of his room as he stood in front of Kaiyo’s door wanting to knock but decided not to,
“Maybe it’s better off leaving it as it is so there shouldn’t be so much pain” Hideaki whispered as he lean toward the door when suddenly the door open as Kaiyo stood in front of him
“Yes?” Kaiyo asked
“Oh I was wondering do you want to go out for dessert” Hideaki asked startled
“Nah I’m not in the mood” Kaiyo said as they stood there for a while.
“Well I’m going to go then.” Hideaki said as Kaiyo held his hand, he stop and turn around.
“Nobody is home you know that right?” Kaiyo asked
“Yes and your point?”
“Nothing then” Kaiyo said as she let go of his hand and walk back toward her room when Hideaki suddenly turn her around and push her against the wall with his lips against hers. He knew he shouldn’t have but he couldn’t let it go without being with her before it all ends. The kiss became hot and heavy as they begin to move toward Kaiyo’s bedroom. Hideaki kicked the door close shutting the whole world out.
Three hours later Hideaki open his eyes and looked at the clock beside him on the bed. He looked over at Kaiyo who was sleeping peacefully next to him. He held her closer to his body as a tear rolled down from his eyes onto her cheeks.
“I’m sorry but I have to do what I can to protect you” Hideaki whispered kissing her head. He tucked her in quietly and grabs his clothes off the ground. He walked over to Kaiyo and stare at her sleep peacefully. He wanted to reach out to hold her one more time but if he does he can never let her go. He walked out the room quietly as he head to his room to get some item.
He walked pass the boys’ room and stop. He opens the door and walked in, Ryo, Hong Ki and Ryosuke was fast asleep on their beds. He walked over to the top bunk and noticed Hong Ki snoring and the blanket was all over the bed. He places it on him as he looked at the lower bunk where Ryosuke was sleeping peacefully hugging the stuff animal he had won for the boy. Hideaki reach over and tuck Ryosuke in as he stroke the boy’s hair,
“Take care of her” he whispers as Ryosuke turn the other side.
Hideaki stop next to Ryo’s bed as he noticed Ryo’s blanket was all over the bed. He pulled it up for Ryo as Ryo kicked it off again scratching his stomach. Hideaki noticed Ryo was also hugging the stuff bear he won at the fair for them. Ryo open his eyes half way as he stares at Hideaki,
“Yeah aniki?”
“Nothing, just making sure you guys won’t catch a cold that’s all” Hideaki said, “Ryo?”
“Hm?”
“Take care of them. Don’t over work too much” Hideaki said as Ryo nodded his head and continue to sleep.
“Good luck in life.” Hideaki said as he left the room.
He walked downstairs and looks around remembering every corner of it as he took a deep breath. He walked out the door closing it quietly and got into the car. He stares at the house for a few minutes as he wipes the tears that were in his eyes. He slowly back out the driveway and begin driving away until the house was out of his sight.
He then parked a few blocks away and got out of the car heading toward his destination on foot. Hideaki walked into the abandon warehouse, he pulled out his gun as he looked around,
“If you want to play this game then come out and don’t hide like a chicken” Hideaki yelled as he heard footsteps above him. He looked up as Toma stood there looking down at him,
“Shocking that you actually came alone” Toma said with a smirk
“This is between us, I don’t want to involve others” Hideaki said as Toma still standing above him laugh
“Really? I never thought it like that way” Toma said.
“You’re going after me don’t go attacking Kaiyo and Ryosuke” Hideaki said as he kept his eyes on Toma who was walking down the steps
“I didn’t do anything why play the blame game” Toma said with a smirk
“You stab Ryosuke, only you can do something that pure evil. Attacking an innocent boy like that” Hideaki said as Toma stop right in front of him.
“Innocent child? He’s a bastard that you and Kaiyo gave birth to” Toma said raising his tone.
“Ryosuke isn’t my child for the last fucking time” Hideaki yelled
“If he isn’t your child, he is still one of your weaknesses” Toma said laughing as Hideaki pulled out his gun pointing it at his enemy standing in front of him.
“Do you really think I’m that stupid to face you alone?” Toma asked as Hideaki heard a click behind as he glanced.
“Hyun Joong” Hideaki said
“I don’t want to do this but you gave me no choice” Hyun Joong said
“I knew from the start there was something unusual about you but didn’t know you have the guts to actually try to kill me”
“Then you underestimated me” Hyun Joong said
“I make sure I don’t underestimate anybody” Hideaki said pointing another gun at Hyun Joong while he pointed one at Toma. “I can kill you easily” Hideaki said
“It true, Hideaki is one of the best assassins. Nobody ever took him down, but his downfall today is falling in love with a girl. The number one rule of the agency is never fall in love and you did. This will go down in history, the best assassin died in the name of love” Toma said laughing
Hideaki fired at Toma hitting him in the shoulder as Toma bend down clenching the wound
“Bastard”
“That’s for saying unnecessary stuff” Hideaki said as Hyun Joong fired at Hideaki but he dodge and miss
Soon there was several gun shots fired as three of them took cover behind boxes.
“Been a while we play tag Toma, let’s see who still is the best!” Hideaki yelled as Toma reloaded his gun.
“You really think you can win? 2 against 1” Toma yelled
“You know I can why asked!” Hideaki yelled
“Back then you can beat me but can you still do that today?” Toma asked laughing
“You change you know that Toma” Hideaki said
“People change they can never stay the same, beside I always been like this. Because of you, I lost my position and everything. Now I’m going to take back what belong to me. That bastard was a fool in leaving everything to you, even when you’re not his own flesh and blood!” Toma yelled
“It was you that killed him” Hideaki said
“So what? He deserve it but I still cannot believe that old fool left a will and everything to you” Toma yelled
“I know that, that is why I have another present for you. Even if I don’t kill you with my hand, I’m going to make sure you die here” Toma said.
Hideaki heard noises in the back as he turns around as Hyun Joong stood behind him pointing a gun.
“The game is over” Hyun Joong said as he fired a shot but hit Hideaki on the leg. Hideaki fell down on one knee as blood flow out.
“Bastard” he hissed
Hyun Joong moved closer as Hideaki pulled out a knife and threw it at Hyun Joong as it hit him on the upper shoulder. Hyun Joong pulled it out as he ran toward Hideaki as they both struggle on the ground.
“I will make sure, that she will always love me and forget you” Hyun Joong said as Hideaki pushed him off. Hideaki grab the gun on the ground pointing at Hyun Joong when a loud shot was fired.
Hideaki looked down as he saw blood from his body drip down one drop by one onto the ground. He was shot in the lower abdomen as blood begins to flow out. He looked up as Toma held the gun in one hand as in another a remote control
“I will be sure, this place will be your grave” Toma said. “With one button this place will explode since I wire this whole area” Toma said laughing. “I will be sure, Kaiyo can never recognized you”
Hideaki fell down on one of his knees as he held in the pain,
“Awww giving up?” Toma asked as Hideaki look up as got up
“Not yet” Hideaki said charging toward Toma as he tackle Toma to the ground as he punch Toma several times as Hyun Joong pulled Hideaki off throwing him onto the ground. Hideaki grab his gun pointing at Hyun Joong who was standing in front of Toma. Hideaki pushed the trigger as the bullet left its gun hitting both Hyun Joong and Toma.
Both of them fell down as Hideaki slowly walk over to them to make sure they are unconscious. Letting his guard down he move closer when all sudden Hyun Joong eyes open, jumping up he stabbed Hideaki on the other side of his abdomen, Hideaki stumble back a few feet.
“I’m not that weak as you think I am” Hyun Joong said as Hideaki held onto his bloody wound.
Toma slowly got up as he laughs as Hideaki looked at them in pain. He then pulled out the knife in his abdomen and drops it to the ground. Hyun Joong turn around to look at Toma to see what they were suppose to do next when another shot was fired as the bullet hit both Hyun Joong and Toma. They fell down holding onto their wound in their lower abdomen.
“If I die here tonight, I will be sure you two die with me” Hideaki said holding the remote control he got from Toma as they were struggling.
“Bastard!” Toma yelled as Hideaki laugh.
“I promise Kaiyo, no matter what I would protect her and I will. All that is left is you two, if you two are gone, nobody can harm her.” Hideaki said as he pushed the button as explosions in the rooms begin to explode one by one. Fire begins to spread quickly due to the explosion.
Then an explosion in the same place they were in went off as both Hyun Joong and Toma got knocked out by it. Hideaki slowly move away as he hides behind a few boxes. His legs gave out as he lean onto the wooden box behind him sliding down onto ground. The fire from distance was moving faster as he begins to breathe rapidly. His legs was too weak to move, blood continue to flow out from his wound nonstop.
--------------------------------
“Hideaki!” Kaiyo screamed as her eyes open wide lying in bed. She sat up breathing rapidly, wiping her sweats off her face.
“Thank goodness that was a nightmare” Kaiyo said as she looked over on the other side of the bed that was empty,
“Hideaki?” Kaiyo called out to him but got no reply.
She got off the bed, and looked around the bedroom but there was nobody. Suddenly there was a doorbell,
“Its 3am in the morning and there is somebody at the door this time?” Kaiyo asked as she went to open the door. She took a peak in the whole as she open it,
“Aiba? Seung Ho? Why are you guys here?” Kaiyo asked as both Aiba and Seungho look at each other then back at her
-------------------
He knows it is the end of him; he looked around as he felt the heat coming closer to him.
“I’m sorry I cannot protect you anymore.” Hideaki whispered as he dig into his pocket pulling out a ring that Kaiyo handed him, her voice echo in his head as he looked at the ring,
“You should hold onto this, maybe one day you will need it” Kaiyo said placing a ring in his hand
“Isn’t this a couple ring?” Hideaki asked
“Yes it is, and I have the other half, maybe one day, we will use it” Kaiyo said as she smile at him
“In the end, I cannot put this on your finger” Hideaki whispered. He then looked inside and noticed something engrave in it, “I love you” he whispered the words that was on the ring. Tears begin to follow down his eyes as his memories begin to flash in his mind.
Nobody can harm her now, they are all dead.
His hand clench onto the ring as he close his eyes as he smile as Kaiyo’s image appear in his mind.
Her warm smile,
Her laughter,
Her face,
Her kiss,
And the way she look in the wedding dress looking at him, begins to fade in his mind as he felt the life in him begin to leave
“Goodbye” he whispered as his hand fell onto the ground.
Slowly the warehouse burns brightly, the sky begins to rumble as the dark cloud begins to move over the night sky. Rain begins pour down onto the quiet city. The flames in the warehouse begin to die down as the rain cover it.
