Takumi aka Joon

"Kenichi-kun! Kenichi-kun! Wake up! It's already morning." A voice sounded in Kenichi's ears. He snorted in disgust as the voice entered his dreamland.

Kenichi tried to open his eyes. He's still dazed. His gaze was cast in all directions. He knows this place. This is the room that was in Kyoto back then.

"Was it just a dream?" he muttered.

"Kenichi-kun! Wake up!" The early morning screams were heard again. Kenichi recognized the voice. He flinched at the thought of this impossible event.

'Could it be the sound ....' he thought.

"Onee-chan!" Kenichi shouted as he ran out of the room. Kenichi saw his older sister finished bathing Takumi at this time.

*Onee-chan = sister

Kenichi breathed a sigh of relief. He was very grateful to see his sister was still by his side. It felt like it had been a long time since Kenichi had seen his sister's smile. The woman was still as beautiful as ever. He is Zenkyo, Kenichi's adoptive sister.

"Taku-chan, look! Your uncle just woke up at this hour. If you're older, don't imitate him, okay? Kyaa, my son is handsome now," said Zenkyo while facing Takumi towards his uncle.

Kenichi leaned his body against the wall, it seemed he was still very sleepy. He wanted to sleep again, really lazy to do anything right now.

"How long are you going to be lazing around like that, huh? Hurry up and take a shower! I have to get to work!" said Zenkyo while dressing Takumi, Kenichi's nephew.

The baby is only 5 months old at this time. However, his mother had left him with Kenichi while he was working, since his son was only 3 months old. And his sister forbade Kenichi to look for work. Better to just keep Takumi, his sister ordered.

Kenichi will also obey whatever his beloved sister says, because apart from being his sister, that woman is also like a parent to Kenichi.

The woman who had saved Kenichi from his stupid actions earlier.

When he was 14 years old, Kenichi had wanted to commit suicide because of the disorder he had. Although liking the same sex is allowed in Japan, Kenichi realizes that he is an abnormal loser. Kenichi always cursed his stupidity when he remembered it.

Since then, Kenichi was made as a sister by the woman who saved him. The woman loved Kenichi more than anything. Maybe because they are both alone, so they feel they can depend on each other. And Kenichi is really grateful to have a brother as good as Zenkyo in his life.

"Hey, why are you daydreaming, huh? Hurry up and carry Takumi! I'm late for work," the beautiful woman ordered to Kenichi.

"But, I haven't showered yet, Nee-chan!" Kenichi complained. He pursed his lips.

"Are, I'll take a shower later when Taku is asleep. Ah yes, don't forget to change Taku's diapers every 3 hours. Make him formula milk every 2 hours!" Kenichi's adoptive sister orders, Zenkyo Nakagawa's name.

"Yes, yes! You talkative sister!" Kenichi grumbled.

"It's not a fuss, Ken. You know Takumi is the only reason my brother has survived this long besides you, um?" Zenkyo said. There was sadness in his eyes.

"Yes, I understand my beautiful sister." Kenichi immediately took Takumi from his sister's arms before he was scolded any longer.

"Remember, Ken! If you can't take care of Takumi, then I'll take him wherever I go!"

Big sister's words at this time sounded so terrible to Kenichi's ears.

And he saw his sister's smile suddenly faded. What is this really? Kenichi asked himself.

"If you can't take care of Takumi, I will take him, Ken!" Zenkyo said.

"I will bring Takumi, Kenichi!" Zenkyo chirped back.

"Why, Sis? I really promise to take care of him, even if I have to risk my life." Kenichi tried to convince.

"Takumi will be with you wherever you are, Ken. Remember that!" Zenkyo whispered back.

Kenichi really did not understand the meaning of his sister's words. He felt that his words were so painful.

'What did you mean by what you just said? He always mentions 'bringing Takumi'. Indeed, where are they going?' Kenichi thought.

And just after messing around like that, Zenkyo disappeared along with ....

"TAKU-CHAN! DON'T GO!" Kenichi shouted with all his might.

He got up nervously and looked around. "Hosh! Hosh! What happened just now?" he raved.
