Ethan's Secret

For a few seconds felt awkward when Eric spoke about Sophia that she does not really loved him. Kim was bothered when she saw his sad face and he fell to silence after he spoke about it. It seems that he still care what about her. She imagined there must be some things happened to them before they broke up. It made her feel a little disappointed to know he have some lingering feelings towards the girl.

"Miss. Kim sorry for the short notice, were going to depart now for the next destination." Kim was taken aback by the sudden voice of Riz. She looked towards her and just nod to say she got it. Kim saw Ethan smirked at her direction. 'What is that guy thinking right now' she thought, but she forcefully controlled her anger.

"We have to go now, I hope you're not bothered by Ethan more than I am." she looked at him, thinking he would just forget about the girl. But, who was she to tell that to him. She waved her hand as a sign she leave first and walk towards her group, trying not to be in contact with Ethan.

As soon as she was gone, Eric followed. He was back to his senses and shake his head to forget about his past. Unknowingly by Eric, Ethan made his way towards him. He walk alongside him, while his both hands are in his pocket.

"So you're close to Kim, how was she? Does she your new type now?" Ethan was really a nosy person. That's what Eric already known about him. Ever since he knew the person, he was always involved in everything.

"What are you talking about? What does that have to do with you?" Eric answered him, good thing they are at the back of the group.

"Well, Kim and I have a connection that no one can severe so I'm always curious on what's happening to her life." Ethan smiled playfully, it only made Eric crease its brow.

"What a scumbag, you are an engage man and you are talking about on having a connection to her? Is Sophia not enough for you?"

"Woah, why do you care? I own my life, what do you have the right to dictate my way of life? Plus I didn't mean I have a romantic feelings towards that silly girl. I just want to mess up a little her life." It made Eric stop and thought about his suddenly being concerned on Kim. As the time passed he already considered Kim as one of his friend, so that's the reason he have.

"As her friend I am concern in what image you will give to her. You're a scandalous person, who usually wants exposure to media talks. Don't drag her with it."

"You can't do anything, It's up to her. About Sophia, she choose me over you, who neglected the time she spent with you. Though maybe through mg influence she choose me, but it doesn't matter. Being she was yours first, the rumor just spread and died down, so being Kim involved was no problem."

"Don't bring that up now, or you're going to regret it."

"Oh come on, I never regretted doing things through my power. In the end I'll always win."

"For Christ sake, just leave Kim's life. You're wrong if you believe Kim was easy to bring down by you, she's not going to give in your scheme." Eric was annoyed how coy Ethan, he feels a little strange how he manage to say all those things about Kim as if he knows her already. He left Ethan, who was grinning widely as he moved far from him.

"Silly, how could I leave her be?" Ethan spoke out and shrugged. He proceed to his car.

Daylight faded, Kim's group safely arrived to their villa. All of them were tired from the long trip they have. Many activities they have along the trip, which drained most of their energy. Though it was suppose to be a relaxing vacation, they still have fun to the views they saw.

"I'm going to sleep now sis, bye." Zen yawned and head to her room. Kim was left alone to the living room with Ethan and Eric. She wants to go to her bed but the two wont leave. First it was Ethan's friend favor to ask if Ethan and Eric could slept in their villa since they were too wasted, since they have an urgent meeting to attend.

'How did this two end up like this?' She know that the two was a lightweight in drinking, but what push them as far to drink this much? The two occupied the couches ever since they arrived. Kim shake her head and brought pillow and blanket for them.

When she was on Eric to tuck him up, she can't resist to look at him. He was too attractive to watch, but she closes her eyes and breath out. She must hold herself up, since she's a girl. She sat on the floor beside him, while she touches his hair.

"At least for now I could watch you closely" she said, she really does want to confess her feelings towards him, but she was afraid she was too fast and rejected by him. It was hours already she still mesmerized by his look.

Unknown to her, she fell asleep beside him. It was dawn when Ethan woke up, he scanned his surroundings. He caught a glance to the two people with him. He smirked at the scene he witnessed.

"What a really silly girl." he stand and took a picture of it. He went to Kim and scoop her up, then he placed her to the couch he slept in. He tuck her up and kiss her forehead.

"Have a good day, Sis." he stand and went out the of the villa.

It was a long time since he discovered Kim was a blood related to him. At first he hold a grudge against her that his father choose her mother against them. But, as soon as he slowly get to know her, he slowly acknowledged her. Even his mother never hold a grudge towards them and married happily. He was acknowledge as his own child. Several years passed they never had a child, so was very spoiled by them.

One time, he ask his father if he had other relatives but he have no one. In his mother side, most of them are out of the country living. When he found out his true father, he was furious to know he have other family. When he discovered there was a new student and it was his daughter, it made him want to compete to her and prove he was more good than her. It went well but he still not able to get his real father's attention but rather comforted Kim. Her parent with her little sister visited the school, they cheered on for her. He really envy her, her mother was not around since she was busy, while his father was full time to his business. That's when he started to think if he had other siblings to confide and have fun with.

That's when he heard the news about her parents died in the accident. Ethan was also hurt that he was not able to present himself to his real father. He must still kept it a secret that her father had a son, since he does not want Kim to hurt more and he stopped on pestering Kim.

When he knew they have nothing lean on, he secretly ask for a small amount to put in her name. He covered the fact that it was from him, and decided to be away from them. He knew Kim was smart enough not to waste it. And now that he meet her again, he was right that he trust her.

Even though she still looks at him as an annoying person, he still like how they used to be.

An hour passed, when Kim finally wake up. She reach for her phone, she enter the password. She saw a message from an unknown number, when she opened it, it was a picture of her and Eric sleeping. She looked beside her only to find out Eric was still sleeping, but she was not beside him.

"There's no way Ethan would do this, It must be Zen." She shake off her head and folded her blanket. She proceed to her morning routine.
