ANOTHER GIFT

Previously,

Noah said, "I don't understand. Are you guys stupid or something? "Just because you saw Owen on the department's CCTV in the hall you can't accuse him of being a thief. Because the main files are missing, they haven't been copied."

Ryan smirked and said, "Exactly. When there is no main file, how did you get the copied one?"

Continue,

"Ryan, please believe us," said Owen."We didn't steal anything. We got them in our way. But we didn't obtain them for any ulterior motive. You've got us all wrong. We are not the one you should be searching for."

"But getting the office file and that also the teacher's file is prohibited," said Sara."Don't you know that?"

"I know this is not permitted," said Noah."But we are not using them for any nefarious purposes. You can check our movements if you wish."

Eva's eyes widened at Noah and she spoke to her mind," Has he lost it? What the hell is he saying!! It's not that they won't do that anyway but inviting them is way more troublesome. Come to think of it, if they actually do that and find we are illegally investigating a case, what we will do? Oh god!! Are we in trouble before even getting our hands on anything?"

"Well, if you think of doing something, you can do anything," said June."Let's say you guys aren't having any ill intentions. Then what are the files for?"

"Let me explain that to you. It...," said Eva.

But before she could complete Owen interrupted her and said, "Can we please move from here and go somewhere else before that? It's getting dark. And how long do we have to be here?"

"Of course," said Ryan."If you guys are willing to say everything, we can also go to Mars if you wish."

"Ok let's go to the nearest restaurant here," said June."We can't stay here any longer anyway."

The sun has already set. However, it is not completely dark yet. They are sitting in a restaurant and everyone is silent.

"Are you shy, Eva?" Said Ryan.

"Uh..No.Its.."Eva mumbled.

"Those files..."Noah continued. "We have collected them long ago."

"What for?" asked June.

"Some days ago one of our professors told me to shift some files," Noah said."He told me to copy some of those files from the computer department. So Owen and I went there. A professor himself handed us some files and we copied them. That's when he left his phone there. After that our professor told me to do some extra copies. I was busy so I told Owen to do that and I forgot to take them. So he was here to bring them to me. That's all...If you don't believe it, I can also give you the names of those professors you can go check it for yourself."

"Please name those professors we will do that," said Ryan.

"Why were you after that guy?" asked June."Are you a pervert?"

Noah gets furious and said, "You've got the information that you were tailing us. Whatever we do is none of your business."

Ryan came out of the bathroom, wiping his head with a towel. He was about to look at something on his mobile when June entered the room out of the blue with hullabaloo.

"What is this brother?" said June."Can I even call you brother? Who are you? This can not be my brother?"

She is whining. She sits on the bed crossing her arms.

"Tsk, this girl..." Ryan mumbles.

Looking at him, faking her teary eyes she said, "Why? Do you not care about your only sister? What will you do without me? Do..."

"Tsk, shut up now and say." Said Ryan as he was annoyed.

"Come with me to the police memorial tomorrow," said June with an instant smiley face.

"Why?" He asked.

"I am thinking to make my final project for the final exam about some extraordinary cases or skills or something like that. I heard that a police memorial has been inaugurated near M city a few days ago. I want to go there with my one and only brother," her eyes smiles as she wants to please him. "Won't you go?" She whined.

He leaned over the wall crossing his arm and sharped his eyes.

"You don't give a sh*t when I need you but you surely know honey talk, huh?" He continued, "What about your penguin?"

"She has a part-time job but she said she will join us after that," she said.

"Go with her. I have something to do tomorrow." Said Ryan.

June's face instantly changed from sweet to annoyed. But she gave a evil smile and changes to sweet.

"Do you want me to tell your father about what you are doing with your love life?"She gave an evil look and continued, "That way you don't have to listen to the daily lecture on love every morning. You are bored and don't want it anyway."

She stands up and pretends to get out of the room.

"Ok, I understand. Good night BROTHER" she said highlighting the word.

Ryan grabs her wrist and says, "Ok fine.. I'll go.. happy?"

"Ah~seems like cats in gloves can't catch mice." She slew.

"June, will you sit down for a moment?"He asked.

She sits and Ryan sits beside her.

"June, did you not accept him yet?" Asked Ryan.

"Why are you asking that suddenly?" She replied.

"It has been an eternity, June." He worried.

"I know. It has also been an eternity since I accepted him."She smiled at him.

"You say so. But you still hesitate. I won't complain if you fight with me for him and you know he will go crazy with happiness if you accept him full heartedly. It hearts more than denying when you accept someone half hearted." He said.

"I am doing my best you know that.." she said.

"I know. June, don't worry ok? Take your time. I hope you don't hold back for me also, do you?" he asked.

"No, how can I? You are my best friend, brother, guide, team everything. No one but you understand me so well." She softened her eyes.

"I'm glad. Don't take pressure ok? You have exams next month." He said.

"Yes." She replied.

[Next day]

A lovely morning started. Steffy run toward Ryan and started shaking its tail as soon as it reached him to wish him good morning with a sweet woof.

Mr.Young said with a heavy tone, "Wow!! How is it that you woke up early today? Don't say you did something stupid again."

"Dad, can you not think normally for me?" Ryan whined."Do you really need to nag me this early?"

June comes down from the stairs and joints in the family gather at the dining table. Where her mother brings the breakfast.

June greets everybody, "Good morning everyone."

They greet her back. Mr.Young says, "June, are you having insomnia? How come you got dark circles under your eyes?"

"No father. It's ok," she replied.

"I heard your university is holding a spring festival. Do you want anything?" He asked.

"No," she said.

"Want to buy clothes?"He asked.

"No" she replied.

Ryan may be noticed the awkwardness and said with excitement, "Let's buy."

"I don't have anything to wear," he pouts.

"Didn't I bring you new clothes a few days ago?" Mr.Young said."Just wear them."

"Few days?!!!" He frowned."It's last summer dad."

Mrs.Young chuckles at his cuteness and says,

"Come on. It's his final year. Let him make some new memories however he wants."

Mr.young gets annoyed and says, "I never saw June buying any single napkin for the whole year unless new year. Why do YOU need so many clothes in a year? I don't understand who's the daughter and who's the son."

Ryan wipes his fake tears and says, "You've never asked me what I need but always June. Such a discriminator."

"Shut up. Your needs won't end for your entire life." Mr.Young rebuffed him.

Ryan pouts and turns his face to another side. The morning table brightened up with everyone's laugh.

After breakfast, June and Ryan went back to their rooms to get ready to go to their versity. June heard a knock on her door.

"June, can I come in?" A voice came from outside.

"Yes, mother," said June.

Mrs.Young comes in and she saw June was packing her bag. She said, "June, what will you eat for lunch?"

"We won't come for the lunch mother. We will have outside." June replied.

"Oh..." She mumbled.

She stands there for a while. June noticed her awkwardness and asked,

"What happened, mother?"

"June, are you angry with your mother?"She asked.

"No mother. Why are you saying that?" Said June.

"Nothing dear." Said Mrs.Young."If you're having a hard time please share with me ok?"

"I'm not having a hard time. Please don't worry." June consoles her.

Mrs.Young holds June's hand and gives her a small box.

"June, your father gave me this to hand you this," Mrs.Young said."You don't ask him anything but he is worried about you. He cares about you. If you want to say anything don't keep it in your heart ok?"

"Mmm."June nods.

Mrs.Young lefts the room. June leans on her desk and opens the small hutch. A purple diamond necklace is sparkling inside the hutch.

She signs and keeps that in the closet on a beautiful dress, where there was already a small hutch on it. She cares on the dress with her hands and closes the door, hearing Ryan's voice who was calling her out so that they go together for versity.

"Yes, I'm coming." She shouts.
