Yume's pov.
I got home and I didn't wait for the event till the end. I saw my older brother sleeping on the couch, maybe he waited for me and there's blanket with him. Then I looked at him, I want to talked to him but it's better not to wake him up yet. I looked at the wall clock and it's 1am.
Maybe I should rest a bit, i'm so exhausted. The conversation keeps rolling on my mind, I just need to rest. Maybe it's just an effect of champagne.
I went to my room, took my pajama from the closet. I headed to the bathroom and get undressed then took a shower. Shampooing my hair then rubbing my face with a damp towel down to my toes.
After everything's done, I dried myself with a bath towel then wear my pajamas. And covered my hair with the towel then I laid down on my bed. I looked at my phone, no one is online maybe the event haven't end yet so put it on top of the lamp stand. I sat on side of my bed and removed the towel from my head. I start brushing my hair.
I saw a shadow passed outside my room. And I heard soft knocks. "Door's open", I'm so tired.
"How's the prom?", Onii-chan.
"Could we just talk tomorrow? I'm a bit sleepy.", Words slipped from my mouth.
He sighed, "I know you, sweety. Tell me, something happened.", He asked.
"I'm just uhm, no-nothing, we had so much fun.", I chuckled nervously.
I feel like my eyes starting to water. No! Not infront of him! just stop rolling, damn it!
"Maybe, you waited for me for so long, onii-chan, why don't you may sleep on your room to make you comfortable.", I chuckled a bit.
"No, you're ignoring the question, just tell me.", he's really a kind-hearted guy. But I don't want to speak yet.
"But you-", he stopped me.
"Right, right, i'll ask you later. Okay, just go to sleep after that", he smiled.
"Okay!", I tried to smile.
._-*-_.
Birds already chirping outside then a ray of light struck at the mirror and make reflection to my face. I woke up and reaching my phone. It's already 7, but I want to sleep more I curled up and covered myself with my blanket.
My phone's ringing so I reached out my hand out of my blanket. On the screen and already 11am, 'Incoming call, aimie, ignore or accept'. Then I pressed ignore sliding to the right.
My phone vibrated again, "what now?", I yelled.
"Yume-chan, it's already noon, did I disturb you?", Aimie.
"Frankly, yes, why?", I said.
"Please, could you tell me what's going on with you, guys? What really happened last night?", she said.
"Seriously?", I mumbled.
"Get serious, yume-chan. Last night, it was so amazing and why you're all like messed up. You'd never came back.", Aimie shrugged.
"Nothing happened really, I'm just, I just want to get home, that's all.", I lied.
"Why don't you just tell me, we're friends, right?", Aimie.
"Not speaking, eh? I'll go ask king about this!", Aimie.
I just sighed, "go ahead, I don't care!", I said and turned my phone off. I get off from my bed and went to kitchen.
"Nice morning, sweety.", Onii-chan smiled, "what do you like, coffee or choco?".
"Peace.", I just mumbled while sitting to my favorite place.
"What?", him up with his eyebrows.
"Uhm, no, nothing, coffee, it'll be fine, yeah.", phew, he's too scary. I'm stuttering.
"So tell me, what happened last night?", he asked me while stirring our coffee infront of me. Then sat on the other side of the table.
"We've danced and drinking champagne, that's it.", I laughed nervously.
"What else?", He so really damn serious.
"I told you already.", I complained.
He looked at me straight to my eyes.
"I told you before, or you almost forgotten, that you can tell me so I can help you and don't get depressed.", He said.
B-but, I can't. I clenched my own shirt and my eyes are starting to cry.
"Onii-chan, I-i'm sorry!", I cried.
I went to him and put my arms on his lap, head down, "shh... It's okay, just cry on me.", His soft whisper calmed me down.
"You're such a crybaby.", He said while weaving his fingers on my hair.
"Feeling better now?", He asked.
"Well, yeah., Maybe?", I said.
"Could you tell me now?", He asked.
"Well, I saw them looked at each other and my anger took over. I said unpleasant words on him. But do you think, did I made a mistake?", I asked him.
"Oh, sweety, I don't blame you in anything like that. But the thing is about anger, you can't control it but you can prevent it.", He explained.
"How's that?", I asked.
"If you just notice that you're angry, try to calm down before you say anything bad.", He added.
"Don't get be jealous, okay? Why don't you listen to your heart? Don't only looking at the situation but analyze well before your next move.", him.
"Sorry, but I can't explain it too much.", he laughed while scratching his head.
"Okay.", I smiled then he put his hands on my cheeks and wipes my tears with his thumbs.
._-*-_.
Should I listen to my heart? I don't know, should I tell him sorry? Why should I listen but I don't know what I really feels. Oh gosh, I'm so confused.
Few days more and it's already finals. Then after that graduation day. I don't talk too much with the gang, just leaving them while I'm all alone since this Monday morning.
Maybe, aimie got tired after asking king on what really happened. Yana asked me to bring the books back to the library then arth and I crossed but I didn't say anything or even looking at each other. Back to being strangers again, or so I thought.
"Did you hear the news?", Some students asking about a news. I try listening and, "the fat guy from 4d, who's in jail, killed.".
Huh? Then arth rushedly ran to the police station. Why's it so important to be rush at?
Arth's pov
I suddenly heard the news and my phone ringing.
"Arth, please, come here, it's urgent!", Lieutenant ryota.
"Okay, sir, I'm on my way!", I hanged up my phone.
I saw yume on the way, but I try not to look at her.
At the station,...
I was so shocked of what I saw. "What happened here?", I put my two fingers on his pulse but he's already dead. I asked the one who saw the victim. "I was checking on him if he's okay after I heard him like a mute. And that's what happened. "Would he poisoned himself?", I suddenly muttered. But that's impossible we've taken all his poison as weapons.
The ambulance took his body for autopsy. Maybe there's the culprit around here but I'm not so sure.
Then, sir asked me go back to the academy and they'll do the investigation. It mustn't be, maybe I should ask him, but how?
