Brother

"Two ice Americano and one strawberry latte,"

"Two ice Americano and one strawberry latte, do you want to add anything sir?"

"No."

"Wait for a moment sir,"

Kinrue make a two Americano and one strawberry latte. There are many people in Express-O Cafe where she works as a part-timer today. You can hear different conversation from those customers here and there. Students, workers, couples or singles, Express-O Cafe is their second home. Most of them are all regular customer so they are all comfortable talking to each other when getting their order. It's not a big cafe like other shop around, just a medium wide size with a touch of modern style theme. The music they are playing is all customer request. On the opposite side, there's also a wall where the pictures and signatures of first-time customer displayed as a memento.

Now, only Kinrue and her other co-part-timer have a scheduled to work until the closing time. She's Lia Pascua, five years older than her. A college student, tall, slim body and pretty from head to toe. Total opposite of Kinrue, she's calm and smart. Both of them are busy making the customer's order.

"Two Americano and strawberry latte, enjoy your coffee sir, comeback again. Thank you." She said with a genuine smile.

After serving the customer, she gives a sigh as she follows him walk towards the table near the glass wall. There's no customer yet, at last she can rest for a while.

"You seem in a bad mood today, Rue." Lia said while wiping the counter with a tissue.

"There's this person I want to kill, but before I can do it, his fan girls might kill me first," she said.

Lia throws the tissue inside the trash bin before facing her. "What do you mean? Did you do it again?"

"It's not what you think. He's the one who ruins my confession but seems many people misunderstand us. For real, I don't know him. We never seen or encounter each other until yesterday." She explains. "I don't know how big his fan base is inside or out of Lunaris High School. Well, it looks like he's not a celebrity though,"

Lia chuckle. "It looks like a big problem. Did you jump on a tiger's den?"

"Argh! I can't even use my phone because of those text messages, calls and chat. It might explode from threats and bash."

They startled when the door opens. In an instant, they went back to their position to get the order of those new customer.

"What's your order, sir?" She asked, turn her look in front. Her smile vanish when she saw the last person she wish to meet.

"One cappuccino and café au lait. Tiramisu and one slice of chocolate hazelnut cake," he said while looking at the menu board.

"W-what?"

"Are you deaf? I won't repeat what I said."

She clenches her fist, tries to restrain herself from anger. Even outside the school premise, this man's shitty personality is still inside him. His words alone will make you tremble in anger, not fear. She heaves a sigh and looks at him with a smile, but he stares at her with an annoyed look.

"Sir, can you repeat agai—"

"Don't make me repeat everything. You're good at eavesdropping but didn't listen well while doing your work? How annoying, Lewis. I told you we shouldn't come here." He mumble turning his look behind, where a tall man with fair skin, perfect molded nose, almond black eyes and black short hair stands.

For a moment, time slows down for Kinrue. She can only hear her heartbeat as the man turns his gaze in her direction. He's handsome, like in an anime character. Face turns beet red as she looks at his lips while saying something. It's like in a fairy tale. No one is around, only the two of them. It's how Kinrue sees her surroundings.

Her senses came back to reality when someone splash an ice coffee on her head. Both eyes turn wide while looking at the person who did it. It's him again. All the customer who saw what happened gasp, even her freeze with mouth wide open in shock.

"R-Rue..." Lia mumble cover her mouth in shock.

"What are you doing, Raven?" Lewis asked.

"Did you wake up in your fantasy?"

Kinrue chuckle. "It looks like reality is really unfair," she whispers to herself. "This... I'm on my maximum limit."

She look on her right side and saw the ice Americano in front of Lia. A smirk form to her mouth as she gets it and splash towards Raven's face. Another gasp echo inside the shop, but it didn't bother either of them. They only give a death glare to each other.

"Y-you..." Raven's about to pull her collar, but Lewis stops him.

"What? Do you want to punch my face? Do it. Here." She point on her face with confident while Lia tries to stop her too. "You really getting on my nerves, you know? How did your parents raise you? Come on, hit me so that I can sue you for good."

"Rue stop it,"

"How can I stop? This man... This annoying sh*tty man..."

"Tsk. What? Finish what you are saying or you can't say anything but a sh*tty personality? Come on, you're the one who can't do a simple thing. I will not get surprise if your brain is as empty as you."

"What? Who told you my brain is empty? You annoy me for real."

She's about to throw the empty cup on him when the door opens.

"What's going on here? Even from afar, I can hear your loud voice, Kinrue."

All their gaze turn to the front door where a tall, beautiful woman with medium length wavy light brown color hair came. She wears a navy blue floral off shoulder fitted dress and a 3 inch high stiletto black heels. Even from a long distance, she's a head turner.

"M-Molly / B-boss Molly," both Raven and Kinrue said in shock.

"Oh, what's going on here? My younger brother and adorable part-timer." She looks at them back and forth, try to get a gist of the situation.

"Y-younger b-brother? B-boss this shitty brat is your younger brother you always talk about?" Kinrue asked, slam the cup on the counter out of shock.

"Tsk. Brat? Hey Molly, what kind of standard do you have to let an empty head like this elf work under you?" He utter pointing at her with frown brows.

"E-elf? M-me? Do you even know what you are talk—"

"It looks like the news is right. Larisa informs me that my younger brother is already in a relationship. I saw your picture together." Molly smile at them continue to walk towards their direction.

"W-what? B-boss, you're mistaking something here. Did you know what your shitty brother does to me? He just flash an ice coffee on my head. There's no way we are in a relationship. I don't even know this brat's name. Believe me."

"Well, let's talk about this topic later, but it seems you've wasted my precious coffee without my permission." They both flinch when her voice change into a serious tone.

"M-Molly, you see... Your part-timer did a terrible jok—"

"Don't just accuse me of your fault. It's normal for an employee to ask the customer twice about their order, but you dem—"

"Shut up. It looks like the both of you have a lot of free time to spend in this quarrel. For you to pay for what you wasted, come with me. I need some people to come."

"B-boss... T-this..."

"Get them,"

They all startle when a group of men-in-black came inside the shop and drag the two outside even if they smell coffee. Neither Lewis nor Lia couldn't say a word as they watch them resist from those men's grip.

"Sorry for the disturbances, my dear customer. Please enjoy your drinks." Molly said and walk outside.

"Argh! Boss Molly, I don't want to come with these goons." Kinrue protest while the man drag and pushes her inside the van. "Let me go. I will call the police."

"Tsk. Don't touch me. I can enter on my own."

Her gaze turn to the left side where Raven enters. He has this calm look despite of being forced to come with them. "Argh! It's your fault. It's your f*cking fault. Why do you need to involve me with this humiliation? There's nothing good happen whenever we meet each other. How dare you ruin my precious life?"

Kinrue pulls Raven's hair out of anger, but he just tries to remove it. They keep bickering and hitting each other without minding those people inside the van. Even those muscle body men didn't know how to stop them and stare while shrugs their head in disbelief. Not until the door in the passenger seat opens. They turn their look in front and saw the minatory aura of Molly.

"I left you for a while and this is what you are doing," she force a smile.

"B-boss."

"Molly, what the hell are you planning to do?"

"Behave yourself kiddos, let your fun youth life begin here."

A playful smile escape from her mouth that gives shivers to their bodies. Those smile gives off a bad omen on it.
