Hours later, the Tsunatsu Corporation was filled with cries of joy. The news of the rescue mission being successful was just received. The person who was the most excited and relieved was their CEO, Leon.
He would have called Sasuko's family to tell them, but it was just three in the morning. They were for sure asleep right now. So, he decided to tell them once Sasuko was in the hospital being taken care of.
"So, those who worked more hours to help with this mission can now return home and have one to two days off." Leon announced.
Those who were part of it rejoiced as they left the building. Eventually, Leon left the building and went home to his beloved younger sister, Xie Tsunatsu.
"Welcome back, big brother!!" Xie, who is just three years younger, greeted him happily.
"What are you doing up to early?!" Leon asked.
"I couldn't sleep."
"Why? You could have drank a cup of warm milk."
"Yeah. I could have. But I wanted you to be home. I feel lonely and insecure when you are gone for too long."
"You could have asked a friend over."
"I guess so... I didn't think about it."
"Just forget it. I'm home now." Patting her head gently, Leon gestures her to sleep. "We can talk later. For now, get some sleep. You are still growing, so you need it."
"Hm..... okay then." Planting a small kiss on his cheek, Xie turns around and goes to her room.
Sighing small, Leon goes to his room and changes into something simple but comfortable. Dropping himself onto his bed, Leon instantly falls asleep.
~afternoon~
It was exactly noon when the Tsunatsu siblings woke up. Xie was cooking breakfast while Leon was taking a shower. Humming quietly, all that was in her mind was a young male she encountered a while back. Surprisingly, he was part of the highest bloodline - The Vasiliev. Not only that, he was a prince known as Ivanos Vasiliev.
Placing food on two plates, Xie places them on the table and looks at her brother who just came downstairs. He still had his hair wet and was only halfway dressed.
"You should dry your hair." Xie said as she sat down.
Sitting across from her, Leon shakes his head. "I'll do it later."
"Yeah, do it later and it'll be dry by then. Plus, you might get sick."
"I won't get sick. I'll be staying home today."
"Oh? You don't work today?"
"No. And if I do go out, I would just visit someone."
"Hm...."
"Anyways, why are you so cheerfully."
"For no particular reason!"
"Riiight."
"Hmmmmm.... Fine! I met someone yesterday and... I think... I um..."
Leon: 💢
Xie: ^^`
"A-anyways, let's eat!!!"
Instantly, the atmosphere changed to a calm one as the Tsunatsu siblings enjoyed their breakfast.
