recognizance
Jaehyun stretched his body with his eyes still closed. A second later his eyes instantly opened wide and rose to look around. There's no one. Just himself. The man let out a long breath and bowed.
“I think it was just a dream.” Mumbled slowly.
“What dream is brother?”
Just hearing that distinctive voice made Jaehyun raise his face and immediately smile. Soon she jumped down from the bed and hugged Sefia.
“I thought I was just a dream. Your dream is to sleep with me and promise not to leave.” he said a little whining.
For the first time after hundreds of full moons, an Jaehyun whines again like a child.is the impact of the presence of Sefia in his life? I don't know what he knows he won't accept if this is all really just a dream.
“i Just took an order for food earlier. It's late afternoon. After eating brother Jae must go home.”.
Jaehyun remained silent.
Going home? That means they have to separate.
Any more?
“Can I not go home so you don't go?”
Sefia shook her head and took off Jaehyun's embrace.
“tomorrow my first day of school in a new place. There's a lot of things I need to get done there.”.
“you go home to the apartment?”
Sefia nodded slowly with a smile.
“After eating, can I ask you to please take me to the apartment? I took an online taxi here..”.
Jaehyun smiled and cupped the girl's sweet face.
“with pleasure..”.
“thank you. Now, Brother Jae wash his face first. I'm waiting at the table..”
Sefia stepped out of the room and Jaehyun immediately entered the bathroom. In less than five minutes he has come with a neat appearance again and a face that is now fresher. Of course, he was already able to sleep well after a few days. Now he sat down next to Sephia who was ready to feed him.
“do you know where I haven't rested?”
“Mama..”
Jaehyun furrowed his brows.
“mama?”
“iya,mama. Mama says Brother Jae now his meal never ends. Keep mama often sleep in the room if brother Jae has not slept even though it is past the hour.” replied Sefia relaxed while chewing her food.
“Did mom tell you to come here?” this time Jaehyun was relieved because Sefia shook her head.
“pengen aja mumpung I can escape earlier from the whole house.” he said proudly imagining how the family and the guards are stressed looking for it. Jaehyun could only shake his head slowly hearing Sefia's behavior. His smile faded slightly as he recalled the face of Sefia's grandfather while in the hospital.
“your grandfather is very worried about you, Sefia. If it were just you and him there, maybe he would have cried seeing you lying there that time.”.
Sefia smiled leisurely without any burden making Jaehyun a little confused.
“Kakek is like that. He used to ngadepin son like me. More precisely, ngadepin mama first. Grandpa was worried I was okay. But Grandpa was much more afraid that his family would not be happy. That's why grandfather did not dare to be hard with me even though I had a lot of behavior.” a smile full of pride adorned the face of the young girl.
Jaehyun agreed. Judging from Kun, Lucas and Sefia now, they looked free without any burden. Do whatever they want to do without adding a fringe of desire papa or mama like other family children. Then Jaehyun? He is here indeed because of his desire and hard work.with dreams and goals to make the family happy.
While his other siblings only follow in his footsteps either because of forced or indeed their will.
Little sister. Jaehyun looked back at the girl in front of him. That girl also counted her sister, right? But why did his heart refuse to love Sefia as his sister? Should he throw away his feelings and bury his dreams in order to have the girl he loves? And... Did Sefia pay attention to him indeed purely as a sister to her brother? Because if he remembers back, Sefia is also very intense closeness with Lucas and Kun. They used to hug each other, kiss and hold hands like Sefia did with him. Does his love clap one hand?

Tias knocked on the door of his eldest son's room.
“Log in..”.
He slowly opened the door and entered and closed it again. He saw Jaehyun sitting on the sofa of his room while busy typing something.
Jaehyun turned his head and shook his head with a faint smile.
“i ate earlier before going home.”.
“With Sefia?”
Jaehyun nodded slowly. She was quite surprised that her mother could find out. Was it just a guess or did he really know?
“Mama know where?” is from
“Sefia called earlier saying she would come to your office to see you..”.Tias is now sitting next to her eldest son. The Jaehyun's hand fell and he rubbed it slowly. Not a word came out of his mother making Jaehyun go along with the silence. Tias looked at his son's hand and smiled shadyly.
“formerly, this hand is very small. Hands that mom can hold. But look now. The hand that used to always ask to be grabbed to be held together, is now much bigger and muscular.”.
Tias lifted his face and looked at his son.
“mama's son is very mature. It's time to fall in love..”
Jaehyun was silent at his mother's words. Recollecting again he would be his current story that was completely wrapped in unraveling threads.
“You love him?”
Jaehyun's eyes were round at the question. His head was heavy but his body was cold.
“who does mama mean?”.
Of course, he did not want to get misguided and instead made him trapped himself. As he remembered, he had never shown anything suspicious in front of others. Tias smiled and rubbed his son's cheek gently. Remembering again she would be her late husband, papa Jaehyun. His face was exactly like his father. Handsome and dashing with his trademark sharp eye highlight.
“you want to play guess with your mama? Okay..”
Tias interfered while Jaehyun tried to hold his body so as not to tremble. Of course he's scared. What if her mother finds out she loves her own step-sister? My mother will be angry and disappointed in him.
“she's the only girl who can make you do everything. Anything is easy. He can make your cold nature melt just for him. He can make you attached to himself alone. She's the girl whose early presence you thought was a nuisance, but now she's your candlestick. Sefia Greyson..”.
Jaehyun could not control his body anymore and immediately knelt under Tias' feet. She's afraid. So scared. Even subconsciously he started crying sobbing making Tias shocked instead of playing.
“Jae-“
“forgive me ma. I was not intentionally. Please forgive me..”
Tias fell silent, ready to hear the confession his son was about to issue.
“I know I was wrong. I don't know the rules. I have absolutely no right to do this. But ma, I can't change it. Mama can hit me, blame me, or scold me as much as you can. But don't hate me or silence me after this. Yes, I fell in love with Sefia. I fell deeply in love with her. I can't be far from her Ma. I'm tormented. I tried to shake my feelings, but it was all for nothing. All of this deepened my feelings for him. I love her ma...I love her..”.
Jaehyun's sobs seemed to tear Tias' heart. After so many years, her son came back crying and this time for a girl.
Tias raised his son's chin so that Jaehyun would look at him.
“See dear mama..”
Slowly Jaehyun looked at his mother. With a messy and pale face. That's how scared he is.
“you really love him?”
Jaehyun nodded slowly.
“You want to promise not to hurt him?”
Jaehyun nodded back.
“mama trusts you. Now, listen to mama. Leave this all to mama.”.
“Mak...mama mean? Mama's not mad at me?”
Tias smiled and shook his head slowly.
“mama is sure she's the right person for you. But, you must make sure first. Whether he loves you or not. Don't impose. If she loves you too, tell her. Mama will take care of the rest.”.
Jaehyun stared at the heartily as well as happily. Soon she hugged her mother tightly.
“Thanks ma....thank you very much.”.
Tias laughed softly and patted his son's back gently.
“Sama-sama darling. Whatever you're happy..”.
