"What are you doing here, Chris? Why didn't you tell me first that you were coming here?" Atherio asked Chris a few questions.

They were both in the backyard. Chris put the box he had been holding onto the table.

"Happy birthday" said Chris eagerly. Atherio opened the box without remembering the question he had asked. It contains a birthday cake with a 17-shaped candle. Chris clapped his hands in spirit. He lit the candle.

After blowing out the candle, Atherio smiled in a knot, "Thank you, yes."

"Thank you later, you'll have to cut the cake and give the first piece to your beautiful sister."

Atherio cut the cake, "I've got a birthday cake from him.."

.. Sweet kiss, Atherio said in his heart. He gave the piece to Chris.

"Hehe" Christian accepted. "It must be Erina's first sister to say happy birthday, huh?"

Atherio nodded, "Always he's the first, I won't let anyone else say it before my brother."

Chris nodded in understanding, "My mom is out of town for a few weeks, can I stay at your house? Sebentaaaarrr only." Chris showed his puppy eyes.

Atherio shook his head quickly, "No, my brother won't allow anyone else to stay here."

"In that case, I will ask permission directly from Erina's sister." Chris moved out of his seat to look for Atherina.

Atherio soon catches up with Chris, he chases after Chris who runs faster than him. Chris found Atherina in the kitchen. The girl was drinking juice. Atherio chases after Chris who is hiding behind Atherina's back. The girl was confused by what the two men, who were two years younger than her, were doing.

Atherio will reach Chris who takes refuge behind the body of Atherina. Atherio must first face Atherina to get Christian. There was eye contact between Atherio and Atherina, but it only lasted a few moments. Atherina who chose to take her eyes off.

"Sister, Atherio wants to hurt me." Chris spoke in a spoiled tone. Atherina turned her head for a moment at the sweet smiling Chris.

"Rio, why would you want to hurt your friend?" Atherina asked by pressing the word 'friend'.

"I'm.." Not yet Atherio continued his words, suddenly Chris laughed out loud. Atherio looked annoyed at his friend.

"Rio's? Haha.. Riorio." Chris' laughter is getting louder. He laughed while holding his stomach.

Atherio was annoyed, "What are you laughing at? That's a dear call from my sister to me."

Chris stopped laughing, he looks moody now. Atherina turned to look at Chris.

Christian changed his expression, "Oh yes, sister. Can I stay here for a few days?"

Atherina was surprised, "Ah? But.."

"My mom's been out of town long enough, don't you feel sorry to see this little girl living alone?" Christian was acting cute so Atherina would let him.

Atherio approached, "That's just the reason, Brother."

Chris strengthened his attack with puppy eyes. She was sure Atherina would not bear her sweet expression.

Atherina retreated her body, "Alright, alright, don't show such an expression."

Both of Atherio's eyes widened, just as easily as Atherina allowed others to stay in her house? Yes, although temporarily.

Chris hugged Atherina's smaller body. Atherina was surprised by what Chris was doing. Atherio who saw that looked annoyed and chose to leave them both. Chris knew Atherio was feeling jealous, he let go of his embrace. Atherina looked at where Atherio was standing. The man was no longer there.

◆◇◆

Atherina was typing a computer in her room. The door to his room was not closed, there was Atherio standing there from when. She wanted to meet her brother, but there was still doubt in her heart. He thought, if Atherina will talk to him after what she did this morning.

Convincing herself, Atherio knocked on her brother's bedroom door. Atherina turned to look at her sister's presence in the doorway. The view refocused on the computer screen.

"Lake in."

Atherio entered Atherina's room and sat down beside her brother. His eyes are on the screen. As usual, Atherina was working on her program.

"Sorry," said Atherio slowly as he looked at his brother's face up close.

Atherina moved her head to the side to respond to her sister, "It doesn't matter, Christian is only a few days here, right?"

"Not that, I'm sorry about that kiss."

Atherina stopped her fingers typing on the keyboard. He looked down for a while then continued typing.

Atherina opened her mouth, "Forget it, as if whatever happened that morning as something that never happened."

Atherio knitted his brows, "I'm sorry for the kiss, not about my feelings."

Now Atherina turned to look at her sister with annoyance, "Atherio, I hope you're aware of what you're saying."

"Of course I'm aware, I'm very conscious. Do you think I'm drunk?" Atherio also looked annoyed.

Atherina chose silence, if she kept talking, Atherio would also continue to deny it.

"Sister shouldn't have allowed Chris to stay here." Atherio grumbled softly.

"He's your friend, right?" Atherina shut down her computer.

Atherio let out a disappointed sigh, "He can interfere with the group's performance."

Atherina got up from her seat, "I told the waiter to prepare a room. I told Chris that room was your room. You slept with him."

Atherio was dumbfounded to hear his brother's decision, "What? I slept with Christian?"

Atherina turned to look at her sister seriously, "Yes, keep an eye on her. lest she find out anything about us."

Atherina passes, but Atherio blocks her brother's path. "Sister, this is unfair. He slept in that room and I slept in my actual room, yeah."

Atherina shook her head firmly, "You don't want to obey? Do I need to shut up for a month because of what happened this morning?"

Atherio fell silent and thought. Atherina passed by without waiting for an answer from her sister.

"Ah, fuck!"

◆◇◆

Christian was in the room that the servants had prepared. They said that the room was the room of Atherio.

Christian looked around the room. "Well, Atherio's room is huge."

There are several photos of Atherio and Atherina on the wall. Chris is envious to see the closeness of Atherio with his brother, while he himself is less in communication with the brother who is always busy working.

His older brother Chris who was a policeman was very strict. Moreover, the difference in age they are quite far away, namely 9 years.

Atherio entered the room, Chris turned his head and smiled looking at the annoyed face of his friend.

"Basic sucks, you really suck." Atherio threw his body into the bed.

Chris instead smiled with an innocent face without feeling sinful, "You're mad at me or you have a problem with your brother?"

Atherio frowned and turned to Chris for a moment. Where'd he know? Is she psychic?

"Emm, that's it." Atherio changed his sleeping position to face Chris who was still standing in his place.

Chris came closer to Atherio. He dragged a chair so he could sit down. "Just say, I want to listen."

"This morning I kissed my brother" Atherio said with his innocent expression.

Chris turned wide, "Kiss? Are you crazy?" Whisper Chris.

"I think it's, yes, maybe." Atherio put on a thoughtful expression. Chris patted her on the forehead, "Can you be more stupid than that?"

"Yes, I immediately expressed my feelings right then and there."

Chris shook his head softly with Atherio's attitude that sounded so sloppy. "If I were Erina's sister, I'd beat you up."

"Good thing he's not you, he's just mad at me."

Day starts night.

At the Park residence, precisely in the dining room, the three children who had grown up as teenagers were sitting neatly at the dining table. Atherina is between Chris and Atherio. They saw the dishes still intact at the table.

There was a bit of awkwardness between the three of them. Atherina was not used to saying, 'good meal!'. Atherio usually says that. But this time the situation is different. There's Chris there, he doesn't want to look childish. Chris was used to saying, 'good meal!', but this time he was a guest.

As the eldest, Atherina decided to let out her voice, "Emm, you guys eat."

Atherio and Chris looked at each other.

The sound of footsteps entering the dining room, the three pairs of eyes were fixed on the figure of a young woman who was now standing near the door.

He's Azura, "Hi! Are you gonna eat without me?" The 24-year-old is sitting next to Chris.

"Good meal!!" Without shame, he ate the dish. The others followed.

"Who is this?" Azura asked while pointing at Chris. The one who was shown smiling well.

"I'm a friend of Atherio's" replied Chris. "Friends? Erina, did you allow Atherio to be friends?" Ask Azura.

Atherina glanced at Atherio and Chris alternately, "They're schoolmates, you better eat your food in peace, Azura."

Azura's age is fairly adult, but her face does not show that she is in her tens. His attitude was also much more childish than Atherina and even Atherio.

Azura chattered during dinner, "I am also her friend Erina, even I am actually her only friend. Erina never had a friend in her lifetime, because..."

"Because I think you're a good person." Atherina cut off Azura's speech. Atherio and Chris turned to Atherina. Azura was moved by Atherina's words.

"Can I stay tonight? Atherio's friend just stayed over, don't you want to let me stay over too?" Azura asked with her pot.

"Hemm, okay." Atherina nodded lazily.

◆◇◆

Azura entered the bathroom, she took off her clothes. His hat was also removed. He never showed his short hair. He looked at her face reflected in the bathroom mirror. Long enough he stood there. He seems to be thinking of something.

Azura looked at the bathroom door and then said, "Atherina?"

Atherina who was reading a textbook turned towards the bathroom. The girl rolled her eyeballs in annoyance to Azura who called out to him every time.

"What's wrong?" Atherina asked while returning her gaze to the book.

Azura bit her lips, "Can I borrow your panties? I forgot not to bring it."

Atherina went from the bed to the closet and took what Azura asked for. Atherina also brought BH and a nightgown for her friend. She opened the bathroom door, but Azura held her back from inside.

"Open the door" said Atherina. Azura stretched her hand out. Atherina shook her head slowly looking at Azura's behavior. He gave the clothes to Azura.

Azura immediately closed the bathroom door. Atherina frowned in surprise at the woman's attitude.

Azura looks at the clothes of Atherina. He took the panties and the black-clad BH. For a moment Azura looked at the two private objects intensely.

Atherina stretched her body then kept all the textbooks to the table. He looked into the bathroom. There was no sound, but Azura did not come out. The girl did not want to think much, she threw her body onto the bed.

The bathroom door opened, Azura came out in the same clothes when she arrived at the Park residence. Atherina turned her head, "Why wear those clothes again? Didn't I give you clothes to sleep on?"

Azura kept the nightgown meant by Atherina onto the table. "It's cold tonight, I want to wear this alone" he said as he approached Atherina.

"As usual, the room for you has been prepared." Azura understood, Atherina never wanted to sleep with anyone else, except that Atherio was also when they were little. The woman nodded then passed from Atherina's room.

After Azura left, Atherina closed the door to her room. He put his body back on the bed. Both of his eyes were fixed on the picture frame on the table. In the photo is Atherina and Atherio who are young.The two hug each other and look happy.

"What are you thinking, Rio?"

◆◇◆

Chris tidied his tie while looking in the mirror. Atherio came out of the bathroom with a uniform that was neatly attached to his body.

They both went down the stairs to the dining table. Some waiters serve food to the table. Atherio did not see the whereabouts of Atherina. Not thinking for long, he chose to sit down in the follow Chris.

"Why is there so much food today? It's breakfast, not lunch." Atherio asked the butler.

The butler nodded as he replied, "Miss Park herself ordered us to serve this meal."

Chris smiled broadly, "Maybe it's me." Atherio looked annoyed at his friend. "Then, now where's sister Nana?" Ask Atherio.

"Miss finished breakfast and left first." Atherio was disappointed to hear the reply from the butler.

After breakfast, the two of them entered the car. Chris was surprised to see Atherina in the front seat.

"Sister Erina?" Chris murmured.

Atherio looked inside. Atherina did not respond, in the steering chair there was Esteban who smiled cheerfully.

"Good morning," said Esteban.

"Good morning" Chris and Atherio answered in unison. The black car drove away from Park's residence.

"Uncle, bring Azura back to his base later" Atherina said.

Chris nodded. The headquarters? Chris ingrate. Atherio looked towards his brother.

What did brother say? Chris must be suspicious, inner Atherio.

"Good, Miss."

Arriving at school, Atherina passed by without making small talk. Atherio would catch up, but after a moment of thought, he did not continue his pace.

"Maybe he's still upset with you because of that kiss, oh yes, plus the expression you feel for him" Chris said as if he could read Atherina's mind. Atherio snorted in annoyance.

"Sokay know, you!"

Chris passes first leaving Atherio upset. The man grumbled as he caught up with Chris.

Meanwhile, Atherina walked over with a straight look ahead. There were a group of students talking. Atherina had to pass them to reach her class.

The students turned towards Atherina who was walking past them. However, one of them blocked Atherina. The girl had to stop.

Park Han Gun, that name is on the uniform he's wearing. Atherina looked up at him.

The girl is inward, what's the kid with this? Why is he facing me? Is useless.

"Get aside," said Atherina. Han Gun knitted his brows in annoyance. He saw the name on the uniform that Atherina was wearing.

"Atherina Park, well, our big name is the same. I know, you're the son of a successful businessman. You think, because of Park J. A. is someone who is respected, I am also afraid of you?" Ledek Han Gun's.

Atherina stepped up, but Han Gun moved in the way. "Why are you blocking my way?" Atherina asked in an annoyed tone. Han Gun brought his face closer. Atherina turned her back and immediately held Han Gun's chest.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I want to whisper something" whispered Han Gun in front of Atherina's face. They stared at each other for a moment. Atherina pulled back her hand. Han Gun brought his mouth closer to Atherina's ear.

The girl was shocked to hear what Han Gun said. While Han Gun smiled looking at Atherio who rushed over with an expression full of anger.

Atherio pushed Han Gun's head violently so that Atherina was stunned. His back was in contact with the chest of his sister. Atherina puffed up to see the wrathful expression that adorned Atherio's handsome face.

"What are you doing!"
