Chapter 12

(Past: Year 2021)

"Brother, go back to your room." I tried to let my brother go. He was here in my room a while ago and it's almost 12am, I haven't slept yet!

"Let me. I want to be the first one to greet you a happy birthday." He smiled at what he said and looked at his watch.

"3...2...1.... Happy birthday my Princess." He hugged me and kissed my hair. I smiled and hugged back, he's always like this.

"Thank you, brother."

"I can't wait to celebrate your 18th birthday. Promise me that I will be your first dance,"

I laughed, "Of course." I was surprised when my shoulder got wet. Is he crying!?

I looked at Kuya but he was smiling at me but his eyes were saying something else. What a over reacting brother!

"Why are you crying? You're over reacting dude." l teased.

"I can't bear to see you turn 18 and then you'll be married, then you'll have a babies. I'm already jealous even though it hasn't happened yet," He started to cry again so I hit his arm. I don't have a boyfriend yet bro... Fling, I do. Hehehe!

I will be 18 next year and he will be like this! My brother is so OA!

"Your so OA brother. Why are you jealous, am I your girlfriend?" I tease him more.

He snorted and looked at me evilly, cutely, "Is it just a boyfriend can be jealous? I'm your one and only handsome brother so I'll be jealous when my princess has husband and babies." I laughed and pushed him out. It's 12am and he already greeted me so I'm going to sleep!

"Are you sending brother away?"

"Yes! I'm going to sleep!"

"You do not love me!"

I didn't pay attention to him because he was becoming a child. He's always like this, huh? When he got out of my room, I started babying and smiled at him.

"Good mornight, brother."

I didn't wait for what he said next and I locked the door. Every time I have a birthday, he is always like that. He want to be the first one to greet me a happy birthday. Among our siblings, He is the closest to me. He's the only one who welcomed me to their family, to this family. He said he doesn't want a girlfriend because he says I'm his only princess, yes really. I might think he's gay. Jokes!

"Amber, wake up!"

I woke up from being shaken. I still want to sleep, huh? I just turned my back on brother and went back to sleep, I thought he would stop me but I was wrong.

''You really don't want to wake up?''

I heard what he said and I didn't pay attention to it. He must be leaving because I heard his footsteps leaving. Finally, can sleep!

''Brother!'' I shouted when I felt water wet my head.

Holy fcking shit!

''Wake up. Take a bath there,'' he laughed and I didn't do anything so I just went to the bathroom.

I stayed wakeup last night because he wanted to be the first to greet me and now he's going to wake me up early? He's really something.

''Amber, are you sleeping there? Hurry, we're going somewhere!''

''Yes!''

(Present: Year 2022)

''Auntie, why did you come?'' I asked Auntie, annoyed.

She came with us because she said we might be doing something, lol, we've already done it yesterday. We're here at a restaurant because Aunt is hungry, and Vaughn is just letting her do whatever she wants, seriously?

''Before he flirts with you, I must go first.'' She said with a smile as she looked back and forth between Vaughn and me, teasing.

I don't even know what we really have, we confessed our feelings but he didn't say anything that he was going to date me. Maybe that's the case now, but something just happened!

''Why would he date you? He doesn't like you and don't expect someone to love you.'' I teased back.

Hey! You think you're the only one who knows? I can too!

''You're not sure,''

Our food has been served. I was still full so I only ate a little, aunt was starving, tss. Sometimes it really makes me think that our similarities are just good and silly. She's beautiful but I'm more beautiful, sometimes he's grumpy and sometimes I'm kind. He is tall and I am..uhh.. nothing. There is age doesn't matter, there should also be Height doesn't matter.

''Eat some dessert,'' Vaughn said and brought the dessert to me.

After we ate, I tried to send Auntie home. She's stubborn, isn't she busy!?

"Auntie, come home please! Vaughn and I are going somewhere. Aren't you busy? Huh?"

We were outside the restaurant waiting for Vaughn.

''No,'' she smirked.

That's what happened, we spent the whole day with her! Aunt's behavior is ugly, too much. I still thought Vaughn would date me, tsk. Well, don't expect too much, dumbass! We got home by 6pm and Aunt came in first and I was still outside, with Vaughn. We were quiet so I couldn't stand it either.

''Uhm.. We have something to talk about, right?'' I said softly.

''Yeah, about yesterday,'' he had something to say next so I immediately cut him off because of shame!

''About that, let's forget about it, hehe,. We're drunk!'' I laughed softly.

He is whispering something but I don't get it either. My hearing is poor.

''Are you free tomorrow?'' He asked.

Tomorrow? I don't have anything to do tomorrow so I just nodded.

He smiled, ''Tomorrow is our School festival and open for outsiders so if you're free, I would like to invite you.''

''In UP, right? Alright, I'll go. I have a friend there too.'' I said and he smiled, his so handsome.

''I'll pick you up tomorrow, 9 am because there are events too.'' I just nodded and said goodbye to go inside. When I opened the door I was not mistaken, Aunt was in the living room waiting for me.

''Why didn't you tell me you had a suitor? You guys are so sweet, do you have a label? Come on, Nyx! When you are fooled by that man, I will really laugh at you! Where did you find him? Very handsome!''

I would have ignored her but she interrupted and forced me to sit on the sofa.

''You will run away from me. Answer me first because I have a question!'' She said like a child so I couldn't do anything.

''I met him for the first time at church and besides, he hasn't courted me yet, because you're ruining the moment, huh.''

She held her chest as if she was hurt by what I said, child mind! She was about to speak but I took the lead, ''I'm going somewhere tomorrow. I know you're busy tomorrow too, so you should go to bed early today, you'll be groggy for tomorrow.''

I entered my room and put on my pajamas, it's still early so I'll sleep later. I opened instagram and message my friend who is studying there in UP.

AmberNyx: Hey!

Thyumi: Oh?

AmberNyx: I'll be there tomorrow. You didn't say that you are open to outsiders! I'm mad at you >_<

Thyumi: bro, it doesn't suit you! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Thyumi: You're not asking me about that. You can come if u want, as long as you look for me I'll be in the cafeteria.

Thyumi: 'Don't reply, it's just going to take too long, eh. I still have fafabols to chat with, so you have to suck it up first, HAHAHAHA. Labyu, bitch!

I didn't reply anymore and just kept scrolling on Instagram. Vaughn wasn't online yet so I just waited for him to come online. I posted a picture on my instagram story with a mirror shot and wearing pajamas, I'm so hot like this.

Minutes have passed and finally, he is online! FINALLY!

AmberNyx: Yooo yooo yooo! HAHAHAHAHAHA, how are you?

He was typing right away so I smiled. Is he expecting my message? Lol!

VLeo: We were just together earlier, ah.

Is it my fault that I missed you!?

AmberNyx: I know. Are you home?

VLeo: Yeah, I was just lying in bed. What are you doing?

AmberNyx: Making our future doesn't fall apart, how about you?

I laughed at that type of thing. It took a long time before he could reply, go ahead and enjoy it. Crazy!

VLeo: bruh, wtf.

AmberNyx: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA, silly!

VLeo: I have something to finish. See you tomorrow, goodnight.

I didn't reply and turned off my phone laughing. It was still early and I wasn't sleepy yet so I just watched a kdrama on my phone.

OPPA! SARANGHAE!
