Chapter Four : Ai


Author: Ai

Summary:  He thought she was a lesbian and she thought he was gay. With these thoughts, they lived under one roof. And so, their apartment-mate life began~

*Chapter Four*

Despite how much she loved her brother, she didn’t like this idea of his. And she will stay on her ground, well… she wished to. But hey! This is Sawatari Kazuma she was talking to!

“It’s not that long, just a month” Kazuma’s voice was low but loud enough for both of them to hear. He was obviously control his volume so that his guest that sat two meter from them won’t hear what they were talking about.

“A month-“

“shhhh” he closed her mouth with his right palm “lower down your voice!” he whispered. Izumi rolled her eyes then pulled the hands on her mouth.

“-is 30 days. 30 days is long” she continued in same volume as him.

“30 days passing very fast. You told me yourself that you felt a year like a month. Without even you knowing, it’s new year” Izumi rolled her eyes at this. He was practically repeating her words two years ago when she made a speech in front of all her colleagues in their End of Year party. “It’s final. He’s staying in your place for a month. After all, you owe him your life for making me waiting for hours. if not because of him, you are now dea-”

“It’s just 30 minutes!”

“30 minutes is one thousand eight hundred seconds!!! You made wait for that long! For one thou-”

“Why me? Why not in your place? Or hotel? He looked rich to afford hotel”

“Gosh~ too much question! What are you? Primary student and I’m your teacher?” he scrunched his nose then stared at her with a ‘Duhh!’ expression “isn’t it obvious?? Hotel is expensive. Even though he’s super rich, to live in a hotel for 30 days is way too wasting. And I remind you my lil sis, I live with my girlfriend. If he lives with me, we have to lower down our voice at night and it won’t be fun. I prefer die than for that to happen, for not hearing her loud sexy mo-“

“Nii-chan!!”

“Lastly, you’re in holiday too!! Means you have free time in your hand. He wants to spend his holiday here in Japan. After all, he came here with me! Which mean, he’s my guest. It won’t be nice if I let my guest who come to Japan for the first time wanders around this foreign place alone.” He put his hands on both side of her shoulder and made her face him “Isn’t this a good chance for you to do some good deeds at the same time enjoying your holiday by touring this precious lovely country with new friend and to become a good citizen who knows her country well more than the prime minister rather than studying other’s country that doesn’t even care if you’re dead or alive in their country”

Izumi took a deep breath to stop her from rolling her eyes and to snicker at his statement. “I take this holiday for me to HOLIDAY not to baby-sitting a twenty-something-“

“-twenty six years old” his brother corrected her.

“-twenty-six-“ she paused then muttered “he’s my age”

“Are you saying that we bother your peaceful life?” he said rather serious with hurt and upset expression.

Izumi wide opened her eyes at his exclamation then abruptly she shook her head frantically “No! That’s not it nii-chan! What I’m saying is-“

“You should just say so rather than making me go through these shits” he chuckled bitterly then turned his body ready to leave his spot but stopped by Izumi’s hand on his arm.

“F-Fine. I accept this. He will stay in my apartment for thirty days” she stated giving up. Making him upset was the last thing in her super long list-to-do. Unknown to her, Kazuma was grinning widely which almost split his face into two. Seeing her brother not moving even an inch, she panicked as she thought he was very upset -which wasn’t true- then quickly added “for free! I’ll bring him touring Japan and making the most unforgettable memories for him. If it’s needed, I’ll be his twenty-four-seven nanny! I’ll take care of him as if I’m carrying a jar full of oil!” received no response from the man –which actually, was struggling to prevent himself from laughing like crazy- she shook his brother arm. “Nii-chan~”

Kazuma took a deep breath to stop his wide smile then turned around to face his little sister. A fake faint smiled curved his lips. “Thank you Izumi! I love you!!! You’re the best!!” he hugged the relieved-Izumi for around two minutes then let her go. “I’ll tell him this good news!” he said as he turned around. Inside his mind, he was laughing his infamous evil laugh. The feeling of getting what you desire was indeed wonderful!

“Wait nii-chan!”Izumi grabbed his arm and stopped his track once again. Kazuma cocked his eyebrow as he turned his body to face her. “He’s a male and I’m female…” she trailed off as she couldn’t put her thought into words.

Kazuma smiled, understood very well what she was meant. “Don’t worry! He’s a good man. Believe me! We’ve been work together for five years. He’s a decent man despite his playboy looks. He’s not the same as any normal man. He won’t do anything to you” he said with only one breath as he was in hurry to tell this good news to his guest. He ruffled her hair then ran toward the man.

“He’s abnormal then.” Izumi said sarcastically and rolled her eyes as she saw her brother talking over-friendly to his so-called guest.

Despite how displeased she was with what just happened to her, she couldn't deny the weird sensation she was feeling but she didn't know what. The last part was indeed embarrassing. But there was something more than that which bothering her. Somehow, this sounded very familiar that made her goosebumps. Déjà vu!?

Chapter Three : Ai


Author: Ai

Summary:  He thought she was a lesbian and she thought he was gay. With these thoughts, they lived under one roof. And so, their apartment-mate life began~

*Chapter Three*

One of the things on her ‘Don’ts List’ that should be followed was to never let THE Sawatari Kazuma waiting even for just a second. But crap! She was late 23 minute 32 second, now 33 second, 34 second, 35 second…

Damn you Mizushima Kouta! I’ll get back to you later! She mentally strangled Kouta as she ran along the empty arrival-arena. At the end, she was dropped in an unknown quiet road as he received a call from his girlfriend and asked him to go to her house. Kouta, a born loving, caring and obedient he was, definitely went to her house without wasting even a second and will go to his love of life as fast as he could even though he need to walk on fire. She rolled her eyes at the thought. She was even more fuming as her feet started to ‘complaint’ from the 6 inches stiletto heels.

 She stopped running when she spotted her brother standing not far from her. Tall, short brown hair with bangs covered his forehead, quite large shades, dark blue jeans, brown unbutton jacket with black T-shirt beneath and black and white sneaker. Yup, that was definitely him.

A wide smiled curved her lips despite how scared she was at the moment. His wrath was one of the hardest to deal with. She jogged toward him “Nii-chan!!” she squealed as she jumped to bear-hug him. He might be scary but he was her brother and she missed him.

“Ermm… excuse me?”

Izumi’s eyes wide opened as she heard her-supposed-brother’s unfamiliar and foreign voice. Oh My God! I got the wrong person! She was too stunned to do anything but freeze. She was too embarrassed to face the guy.

Sensing the small body won’t let him go anytime soon, he unwrapped her hand from his torso. He amused at the blushing girl in front of him who blinking her eyes and put a straight face, obviously to hide her embarrassment.

“Sorry~ wrong person” she bowed and smiled awkwardly at him.

“Do I look like someone you know?” he chuckled lightly.

“My brother”

“Hmm~ interesting.” And embarrassing, Izumi thought. “Maybe I have twin” he said more to himself as he caressed his chin thoughtfully.

“No. I mean. Not exactly same. It just your style and your hair. He is a little bit shorter though and somehow, you’re body is a bit firmer” she stated honestly but only to frown as the man smirk at her.

“Are you trying to hit on me?” the guy eyed her suspiciously.

“Pardon??” She was taken aback. Really! She didn’t expect this coming.

“Listen here miss. This method of yours is a bit ‘old school’. You should improvise it more and make it more real. That’s my advice. Honestly, your acting is sucks. And, I’m sorry, I’m not interested” he said in straight poker face and nonchalantly. “You should look yourself in the mirror before you have the thought to seduce me” he said in somewhat disgust manner as if he was a rich bastard who talking to a pathetic beggar.

She could only opened her eyes wider and mouth gaping as she stared at the guy unbelievably. This is humiliating. And this guy was unbelievably rude for his angelic face. Too bad. After gained back her composure, she took a deep breath to control her raging breath. “Listen here mister” she imitated what the guy said “I think you’re self-esteem is a bit too much for your own good. And don’t judge others without knowing the real story. That’s not my advice but my opinion” she retorted back with the same poker face and nonchalant tone. “And puh-lease! You’re not THAT handsome. Not my taste”

“Tsk. Typical” He snorted and stared at the girl disgustingly.

“Whatever mister-I-know-everything” She rolled her eyes at the man –to show how pissed off she was- for the last time then left him to find her brother which she almost forgot.

Once again, she jogged and looked around to find her brother with an even more pissed off face. Even how much pissed off she was, fear started to engulfed her whole nerve system. She believed, her brother was now pissed off and ready to chop her into pieces. She shivered at the thought.

“...witted foolish careless super moron unbelievable-” she immediately stopped her track as she heard a familiar sound of growls, curses and scowls from behind her.

“Nii-chan?” she turned her body and eyed the man in front of her. He was definitely her brother. She was sure even though he looked different with his new black short hair. She smile widely then jumped onto his body and hug him tight. “Wait!-“ she pulled away from the hug “-you’re my nii-chan right? Sawatari Kazuma nii-chan right?”

“What the heck are you talking about! After you made me waiting forever you-“

“You indeed my nii-chan!” she squealed happily then hugged him back, completely ignoring his fury. He was furious and this was a good sign. He was indeed Sawatari Kazuma then. Kazuma on the other hand, couldn’t help but smiled at her attic despite how pissed off and confused he was as he hugged her back, equally tight. “I miss you!”

“I miss you too!”

“It’s been awhile. You look different!”

“And you’re not getting any shorter, do you?” he chuckled as she pinched his side.

“Ermm~ hyung?” a man’s voice interrupted their happy moment. For Izumi, this voice was a bad sign. This certain voice was the last thing on the list she wanted to listen to. She buried her face more into her brother’s chest and tightened her hold on him. Unfortunately, his brother was too insensitive at her current situation and forcefully pulled her hands around him.

“YoungWoong-ah, meet my sister, Izumi. Izumi, this is Young Woong. My friend and my work-colleague” his brother said as he forced Izumi to turned her body to face his friend as he realized her sister wasn’t moving even an inch. He was oblivious and too busy to realize how unusual her sister was at the moment.

Izumi on the other hand, was closing her eyes and lowered her head and whispering “Not him. Not him. Not him. Please not him” while her brother forcefully but easily turned her small body to face his friend.

“YOU” Young Woong growled.

It’s him! Izumi screamed inside her mind, while outside, she still managed to keep her poker face and sighed as she opened her eyes. She lifted her head to face the man and forced a ‘sweet’ smile “Hello again, Mister-I-know-everything. I know Japan is small but I never know it is THIS small”

“Great! So two have met before. I know you guys will get along very well” Kazuma beamed, oblivious to what actually happen.

“WE’RE NOT”

Chapter Two : Ai


Author: Ai

Summary:  He thought she was a lesbian and she thought he was gay. With these thoughts, they lived under one roof. And so, their apartment-mate life began~

*Chapter Two*


Blissful.

No, it was more than that. It was too overwhelming that she felt light-headed. For these 26 years old she lived, this day was the best day she could ever wish. A wide smiled never fade from decorating her lips. It was tiring indeed. But she wasn’t going to change it.

She threw her body on the bed and start laughing maniacally. There were no words existed could ever describe what she felt at the moment. Word that she could think at the very moment was MIRACLE.

The first miracle –as she claimed- was in the morning, when she reached her office, she received a very shocking astonishing news. She was given a month holiday! Mentally, she kept thanking the director for sent her boss which was his daughter to a holiday, to prepare her wedding which will take place in a month. As an assistant, she was also given a same duration holiday. Man~ who doesn’t like holiday?? Everybody does!

Second miracle was when she cleaned hers and her boss’ office. She received a not-so-surprising call from her parents which later became the most surprising call ever. Her parents were going to visit her siblings in Taiwan. You know what that’s mean? That’s mean… no more calling in every five minutes! No more lecturing! No more boyfriend hunting! No more chains around her wings and cage! She was now a free bird that can fly to the sky! Cliché huh? That was Izumi’s middle name.

The last overwhelming miracle she received was just a minute ago. Someone who was very close and precious for her was back in town. Sawatari Kazuma was actually her cousin. But they were very close just like an older brother and a little sister. She loved him very much. From him she received the feeling of getting spoilt and everytime she was with him, she felt as if she was the cutest creature. Because she was grown up without a father –until her mother remarried- Kazuma always act as one. Being bitchy and snarky was his way to show his care and love. Very eccentric but Izumi loved him for that.

Five years ago, he flew to Paris. He received an offer to work for a car manufacturing company own by Japanese. He always was coming back to Japan for every two months with reason he was missing his family but Izumi knew better than believing in that. The most massive reason he coming back was for his girlfriend who refused to go with him to Paris. But last year, he broke the routine and for a whole year he didn’t came back, saying that he was busy.

And when Izumi received a call from him, saying he will come back… Man~ could life get any better?

Nothing ever lasted so long. She knew that. But she won’t waste this precious time to think about it. After all, her brain was now full with activities she planned to do for her holiday.

“Turn to left”

“Left”

“Right”

“Right”

“No. Left! I said turn--Treeee!!!!”

“AHHHHH!!!!!!!!” Izumi screamed as she hit the break pedal hard with eyes shut close. Slowly and nervously, when the car finally stopped, she opened her eyes. The car stopped just an inch from the huge tree on the roadside. Luckily, the road was quiet –that was why she chose the road on the first place- or else, the back of the car might be ‘kissed’ by another car. She was in the middle of sighing in relief when a loud growled from the passenger seat beside her made her flinched on her seat.

“Left is right. Right is wrong damn it!”

It was no other than her neighbor aka her friend aka her junior in University, Mizushima Kouta. A 24 years old nerd-but-good-looking young man with a ‘good boy’ image and aura. He might look calm, polite and nice. But… don’t judge book by its cover~

 “AAHHH~ I’m so gonna bald by you dumbass!!” he yelled as he pulled his hair in frustration.

“Sorry okay?! But your instruction is confusing~”

 “Get out” he commanded as he climbed out of the car then claimed the driver’s seat right after he shoved Izumi out of the way. “I’m not teaching you anymore!” he growled at her and gestured with his head for her to sit on the passenger’s seat “Get in!”

“Where are we going?” she asked as the car moving to opposite direction she was heading at the first place.

“I sent you home”

“But you promised to send me to airport”

“Not anymore! You almost hurt my baby” he sulked.

“Look. I’m sorry okay? I really am. Afterall, it just ALMOST” she apologized and tried to defend herself. Wrong move. The mighty Kouta glanced at her with a flaming eyes and the ‘lawyer mode’ was now activated. “Fine!” she shouted desperately as he opened his mouth. Seriously, she wasn’t in the mood to hear another lecture. This was the sole reason why she never interested at him, despite how good looking, rich and smart he was. “I won’t touch your car ever again but this, you have to send me to airport. Nii-chan really going to kill me if I’m late and its-“ she looked at the watch on her left wrist “-10 minutes before-“ she paused then shrieked “Oh My God!! It’s ten more minutes. Now 9 more minutes! And if I take bus, I will be very late!”

“Sorry to say, but I don’t care” he said with cold tone and eyes glued on the road.

She turned her body toward the driver, made an upset face, clutched on his arm then whined “You promised me Kou-chan. Promise are meant to fulfill. You used to say that. But look! You’re one of those-”

“Fine. If you stop being so annoying” he snapped and groaned. He will never win this woman. Really. Tsked, woman! Dramatic as ever.

A wide grin spread over her face. She hugged the fuming man sideways ignored his scowled “Thank you Kou-chan!! I love you!! You’re the best!” Then she turned her body to the front view and stayed still just like he ordered. Inside her mind, she was laughing her infamous evil laugh. The feeling of getting what you desire was indeed wonderful!

A/N: this chapter was shorter. I’ll try to make all my chapters this long.
This is boring. I know~ but I need to write it to connect to another chapter. Or else, it will be very confusing and all.
Hahahaha I was too lazy and it will be very LONG chapters to write a ‘full version’ of those miracles. I hope its not confusing.
