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”
