To...Lyan Lyan

"Brother."

"What is it?"

Lyan Oo Nway was preparing the lunchbox for his father and was shocked upon seeing Mhan Shay rushing over to him. ‌

"You know, that house is opposite to our house. Someone has moved in right now."

"Really? Then let's introduce ourselves when we send the food to that house next time. I can also ask them to babysit you when I go to work."

Mhan Shay didn't like babysitters, so Lyan Oo Nway had to change them over and over. Therefore, he only hired a daycare. On the days when he returned late at night, Mhan Shay was alone at home, so he had to ask the neighboring apartments for help because he was worried for Mhan Shay.

He had a lot of trouble when the family who lived at the opposite apartment moved to another place, but now that a new person has moved in, he thought that it was not bad. He must greet that person and had to ask for help to watch his brother when he was late from work.

Mhan Shay didn't like babysitters but he liked to be friends with neighbors. Now he wandered in front of the house until he saw the person who had moved.

"Brother"

"Yes"

"It is your boss who moved to the next door"

"Umm?"

While putting soup into a bowl, he was nearly to burn his hand as he was surprised. The two brothers sneaked through the door by opening the door just a little bit. They saw Maw Oo Yan in his pajamas enter the opposite apartment.

"Brother, is he scary? You look so afraid of whenever you see him"

Mhan Shay whispered in his ears with the wide beautiful eyes.

"It's not like I'm afraid of him. But you must not talk to him. If you are afraid to be alone at night, go downstairs to Aunt San's house."

"She squeezed my cheeks so hard. I don't like her."

"It's because she likes you"

"I don't know. I don't want to live with her"

Lyan Oo Nway felt it was so hard to raise Mhan Shay as he was not only picky at eating but also at choosing people. When he grew up, he would be lonely by picking too much on girlfriends.

"Then I will find another baby sitter. Remember you are not allowed to talk with that man"

"Why?"

"He will bite you"

Mhan Shay laughed at him and said

"Your story is too old to believe. I'm not a child anymore. I am a grown up. So I won't believe your story"

He couldn't believe what a chubby five year old boy was saying. At that moment he felt like Mhan Shay was not cute at all. He spoke more clearly than the other kids.

"I can do whatever you like. But you can't go to that man, understand?"

Mhan Shay pouted at his brother a bit when he realized his brother once cried for that man, he nodded as acceptance.

"Alright, let's go to dad"

After preparing to go out, they saw Maw Oo standing in front of their door smiling at him as soon as he saw him. It seemed like he was waiting for them without going to his company first.

"Are you heading to the hospital?"

When he realized his brother would not give the answer back, Mhan Shay noded to give an answer after looking back and forth to both men.

"Yes, we are going to my dad. Uncle Ray still hasn't come to pick us up yet. If you have any car, can you please send us to the hospital. Can't you?"

"Mhan Shay"

Mhan Shay was a quick speaker and he just realized about his promise with his brother not to speak Maw Oo after he talked many things to him.

"Let's go, We will wait for uncle Ray down the apartment"

Maw Oo carefully looked and smiled at Lyan Oo Nway who didn't even turn to look at him.

"Can I drive you?"

"No"

Lyan Oo Nway said in a cold voice and entered the elevator while carrying his brother. Maw Oo Yan also followed them and there were three of them together in the elevator.

Lyan Oo Nway put Mhan Shay down. Mhan Shay covered his mouth as he didn't dare to speak. If they got to the car his brother would scold him for sure.

His personality was very close to Ray. He liked handsome men and couldn't hold back his words whenever he saw them.

"Little Mhan"

"Yes"

When Maw Oo called out his name he accidentally replied back while his brother was holding his hand tightly. Maw Oo smiled at Lyan Oo Nway who was dragging his brother. He didn't do anything but Lyan Oo Nway still didn't like it. He moved near to his house just only to see him everyday.

"See you later"

"Okay"

In fact, he had bribed Mhan Shay who came to him while he was moving house with his games and toys, so the child could not deny him but still he did not want his brother to suffer.

"You don't have to see him. You promised me, remember?"

Mhan Shay didn't reply and sat down with a sad face near the parking lot. Maw Oo Yan didn't continue to speak and went to take out his car.

After a while, Ray called to pick them up in three hours because he had something important to do. As if it was so, his cooking will soon be cold.

"Come, I will send you to the hospital"

"I said I don't need your help"

Maw OO pulled up in front of Lyan Oo Nway. When Lyan Oo Nway saw this, he sent glares to Maw Oo.

"Get in. If you call a cab, you have to walk till the bus stop."

"It's none of your business. Mhan Shay, get up and let's walk to the bus stop."

Lyan Oo Nway didn't like Maw Oo Yan's attitude that nothing had happened to him. He didn't like Maw Oo following him and making him confused. It seemed to bother him that he was trying to come back into his life every now and then only when he was used to staying without him.

Maw Oo slowly approached them in his car as the two of them walked.

Although Lyan Oo Nway was growing impatient, Maw Oo didn't annoy him to the point where he erupted, so it was true that he was uneasy.

When Lyan Oo Nway got to the bus stop, he was about to stop the taxi but Maw Oo stopped next to him.

"You can't call the taxis that were parked. Because you can meet with malicious people. You have to grab a taxi that's moving."

He told him by grabbing a taxi that was driving down the street and picking up Mhan Shay. He was speechless as he stood in the background.

"What's your problem? Just mind your own business."

Lyan Oo Nway moved closer to carry Mhan Shay as Maw Oo chuckled. In contrast to someone who is very handsome and well-groomed, he finds a person with long gray hair tied up sloppily, wearing nothing but a white t-shirt and loose pants more alluring.

"Cause I can't ignore you. I want to create a relationship with you and you are driving me away. So I can't help but follow you."

"Go to hell."

With that said, Lyan Oo Nway got into the taxi. Maw Oo was left grinning alone. He felt a stream of warmth in his heart.

He was sure of one thing that Lyan Oo Nway was the only person whom he couldn't live without. He constantly wanted to see him and worried about him.

According to Ray, lately he has been afraid to even approach him for fear of hurting him. He didn't know if Lyan Oo Nway had ever experienced similar emotions.

He will gradually make an effort to win Lyan Oo Nway back to him once he has learned the meaning of love and is able to truly love someone. He didn't want him to feel resentment for him. It's fine if he no longer loves him as long as he doesn't hate him.

When he arrived at the company, he discovered Dpar Oo fuming in his office and Min Say comforting Dpar Oo.

"Chairman, do you want to put the company into bankruptcy? When you return to Myanmar, you don't spend even five minutes in the office. Do your romantic relationships cause you any problems?

Because what he said was absolutely true, Maw Oo Yan was at a loss for words. He merely grinned.

"We still have to work on the construction project. But we had to meet Mr. Richard and sit for two hours listening to his complaints because you wouldn't accept him for dinner. Maw Oo Yan, if you don't want the company any longer, give it to me."

Meanwhile, Maw Oo Yan laughed and sat down in the chair.

"Is the hotel Mr.Richard is going to construct near the dock?"

"Exactly."

Maw Oo thought for a while.

"There's also a villa owned by Star Q near that dock, right?"

Min Say listened to his words and felt something amiss.

"So?"

"His place is really critical. I'm not sure if Mr.Richard is interested in it."

"Don't stick your nose in others' business."

"I'm just saying. I'm going to meet Mr.Richard tonight. Do you have anything to say?"

"A client came to sell his old oil industry. Regarding this, we need your decision whether to buy it. This is the reason we called for the meeting."

"Okay, shall we start?"

"I'm not done with you. This is the third time the meeting has rained off."

"I'm sorry. I have something urgent to do."

When Maw Oo Yan told them seriously, Dpar Oo calmed down and left the office with Min Say.

After a busy day, he thought of the brothers who lived in the house across from his as he made his way back to his apartment. So he went and bought some snacks for them.

Ray once remarked that Mhan Shay enjoys munching on snacks. Lyan Oo Nway's preferences may have escaped his notice, but Ray claimed that he enjoyed soy milk a lot.

He's not sure why he's having such a good time while making purchases of items Lyan Oo Nway likes. Maw Oo Yan was constantly considering ways to remain close to him.

He even went far to the extent that he had to ask Min Say how to court a man. Firstly, he needed to make sure of his feelings.

"Do you love me?"He detested himself for being unable to respond to that question Lyan Oo Nway posed. He hoped that query would have a response this time. He wanted to go back to Lyan Oo Nway with the feeling that it would come into existence by itself, rather than faking it.

He took a while to stand at the door before ringing the bell. The sound of tiny running steps made him continue to smile. He thought that Lyan Lyan looked like Ray, but Lyan Lyan was reserved, only his appearance had changed.

Mhan Shay was an exact replica of Ray. His eyes grew rounder when Mhan Shay saw him and opened the door, and he also crept up on his older brother.

"My bro will get angry. I'll come and play games the next day."

Mhan Shay was thinking he came here to play games and drive him away. He couldn't help but smile.

"This is for you. This is for your big brother. Please give him this letter as well. I'll treat you to more snacks next time."

Mhan Shay took the snacks from his hand and nodded in response. And he slowly closed the door by himself and left.

Whenever Maw Oo was in front of Mhan Shay, he recalled little Lyan Oo Nway that constantly used to appear in front of him.

Right. Lyan Oo Nway existed in his life for many years. Still now, Lyan Oo Nway was a part of his life.

"Lil' Mhan, who is it?"

"Umm… that uncle opposite our house."

Lyan Oo Nway immediately stopped cooking as he realized who it was and turned around to look at his brother whose hands carried a bunch of bags.

"Lil' Mhan, why did you take what he gave? I told you not to communicate with him."

"I didn't start to call him. He came and brought snacks so I can't say no to him. That's why I took it."

"Go and return it to him."

"If you want to return it to him, go and give it to him by yourself. I'm gonna eat what's mine."

"Mhan Shay."

"By the way, that uncle also gave the letter. He told me to give it to you."

Lyan Oo Nway angrily took it from his brother's hands. He discovered that the letter was carefully put in an envelope.

(To Lyan Lyan….

I bought the snacks that you might like. Except for return, you can throw it away or give it to others. Sleep and eat well. See you later.)

After reading the text, Lyan Oo Nway threw it in the trash can. He gave the snacks away to Mhan Shay who ate whatever was delicious.

Even if Maw Oo confronts him, he can still face him. Maw Oo's actions were confusing, but not bad enough to make him angry, so he didn't know how to respond.

That day, after dinner, he rolled over until he went to bed. He couldn't keep up with Maw Oo's plan.

And he remembered the letter he had written with beautiful calligraphy. Angrily, he had to look for it in the rubbish bin. Luckily, the trash can was new and he still hasn't thrown out the rubbish.

After reading and refolding the letter many times, he couldn't sleep. He felt as if Maw Oo was now sending him a letter and expressing his love. It was similar to the time when Lyan Oo Nway chased him by sending love letters.
