Sweet & Sour Chicken x group chat

Third Person's Pov.

After what feels like a never-ending stream of tears coming down from Sam's eyes, Seth finally got her to calm down and change her clothes because the smaller's uniform was all wet from her own tears.

Seth took that opportunity to go back downstairs to give the younger her space. He went straight to the kitchen to see no maids, just the younger's guardian or personal maid, Mr. Drew.

"Is Sammy alright, young master?" the older asked with worry all over his face, but Seth can't help to get annoyed of how the older keeps on calling him "young master."

"Everything will be alright, Mr. Drew. Also, please, for the last time, if you would talk or greet me, please don't call me 'young master', I beg of you." the teen boy pleaded to the older, also flashing him an assuring smile that Sam was alright.

"I am very sorry, Seth. I just got used to calling you that since you were a young lad, well younger, I mean. It's been years since you visit Sammy. I know she'll be fine if you're around."

Seth knows where the worries of Mr. Drew came. He was the one who basically raised Sam. He was there since Sam was born. She treats Sam not as his owner or Sam's babysitter, but as her granddaughter.

Seth was happy that Mr. Drew will always be there for Sam, to take care of her, to guide her, and most especially to love her as his own.

"It's fine, Mr. Drew." Seth paused as he remembered that he asked for the older to prepare something for him, to make Sam feel better. "..did you prepared the things, Mr. Drew?" he asked politely, waiting for the older to respond.

Mr. Drew nodded and guided Seth to the kitchen were there lay all the ingredients he needs to make a special dinner for her not-so-happy younger cousin. He thanked the older and proceeded on cooking.

Seth was making Sam's favorite food and what always brings a smile on the younger's face, sweet and sour chickens.

When they were kids, he remembered how the sweet and sour chicken that his older brother, Jonathan, made for him and Sam. It made the younger giggle in happiness and will always stop her from crying, so he decided to make it.

Many minutes pass by, Seth was finally done cooking and even fried some rice with sausages because Sam also likes them. He set a small table in the living room for him and Sam to share dinner. He planned to eat dinner while watching Sam's favorite movies, which is 'Finding Nemo.' when it finishes, he asked one of the maids to fetch Sam so she could eat.

While waiting for Sam, Seth pulled out his phone and texted his brothers on their group chat. And yes, the brothers have a group chat that his older brother Chris made so he can talk to both his brothers at the same time, which Seth found very convenient sometimes.

[J.C.S Brothers]

Seth : Bros, I won't come home tonight!

Jonathan : and who told you you are allowed to do that!? Remember that you are still in trouble, mister!

Seth : I know! It's just that something came up.

Jonathan : don't tell me you're out partying! I told you to come home early, and it's fucking 7 pm already! get your butt home this instance!

Chris : Okay, what are you two fighting this time? Oh, wait! never mind. Seth! Come home now, or I'll pick you up!

Jonathan : stop being a kid! You are already 19! come home now! I mean it!

Seth : for the last time, I told you something came up! I can't go home yet! Sammy needs me.

Jonathan : wait! what happened to Samantha!?

Chris : Is she okay? Is she hurt!? Poor Sammy, tell me she isn't hurt!

Seth : she's not hurt, it's just, look, I can't tell you just yet! I have to stay here for the night, I think.

: Sammy needs me right now. We can talk about what I did tomorrow.

Jonathan : fine! But, that doesn't mean your off the hook, young man.

Chris : yes, Jonathan is right! Take good care of Sammy, okay?

Seth : I will! I'll explain everything tomorrow.

After the conversation with his brothers, Seth let go of a heavy breath that he didn't he was carrying. He was now in deep thought. He thought that he would not escape the situation that happened earlier that day at his school.

Seth was also wondering what to do to make Sam better and if he should tell his brothers about the reason he has to stay for the night there. They are family, but still, he was thinking, if it was a good idea telling.

"ugh! I don't know anymore! I guess I have to see where this will lead me and what will happen tomorrow." he sat down on the floor, staring at the television with the movie waiting to play.

As soon as he was going to close his eyes, he hears a soft voice with matching sniffles as it's background harmonizing with each other.

"S-Seth~"

He whips his head to look for who called him, and there he saw Sam, eyes still red and puffy hair that was messy now tied in a ponytail, bangs dropping on the younger's forehead.

How the sight broke Seths' heart into millions of pieces. He might be stubborn and hot-headed sometimes and usually cold around anyone but when it comes to his family, especially Sam, his cold heart stone turns into the softest thing a person could imagine.

"Fuck everything! Sammy needs me right now! I swear, I'll protect you no matter what!"
