Chereads / RAINBOW ROAD (ENGLISH VERSION) / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 – Vacation

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 – Vacation

The next day, the whole day passes by in a blink of an eye and Kasey was still unable to inform the boys about the vacation her brother had planned out for them. She already informed Cherry and Denise but both of them refused to inform the boys, saying that she should be the one to invite them. And with that, she didn't know how she should approach and invite them.

It's already down to the last period for the day and Kasey finally decided to tell them right after their class, even though she was against it but then, for her brother, she'll tell them.

As soon as their last subject ended she was already ready to approach the boys when her brother suddenly barged into their classroom as soon as their teacher steps out of the room.

"Onii-san!" she called him as she saw him stepped inside.

All of her classmates stare at him, while her dearest brother just walks past them as if he can't see them, he was walking as if he owns the place as he approached her.

"Kasey, isn't he the guy who fetch and send you the other day?" Hanz asked her.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Kris asked without giving Kasey a second to answer Hanz.

"Good afternoon everyone, I'm sorry if I suddenly barged in here." Kei apologized while removing his sunglasses.

"Onii-san, why are you here?" Kasey whispered. "How-"

"I entered from the gate, the school guard let me in," he answered nonchalantly.

"Onii-san!, I mean what are you doing here?" Kaye whispered again.

"Kasey, who is he? your boyfriend?" one of her classmate ask as shift her gaze from her brother to her back and forth.

"We surely get that question all the time," Kei said as he chuckled making every girl in the room blush.

"I'm sorry but I'm not her boyfriend, because…" he proudly answers, "Kasey is my little sister, and thank you for being kind to her, I'm Kei Okamoto," he added as he placed his arms around Kasey's shoulder making her frown. "Nice to meet you all."

"Eh?!" her classmates exclaimed in surprise aside from Cherry, Denise, and Nice.

They thought that onii-san was my boyfriend? Well, it's not new to us.

"Older brother? we thought that he was your boyfriend?" Claude commented honestly.

Kasey just nods as a reply.

"Well, we are already used to it, people always mistook us as a couple but, we're not," Kei explained as he unwrapped her arm in Kasey's shoulder.

That's true, it always happens to us when we're together. Kasey agrees.

"Uhm... Excuse me but are you that Kei Okamoto?" Lina, one of their classmate asked as she shyly made eye contact with Kei. "Are you that Kei? the singer, actor, and model in Japan?"

This is what am I afraid of, that someone might recognize him. Once the news of him staying here broke out, Morimoto-san will chop us into pieces. Kasey thought and in an instant, Kasey became alert as she silently throws death glares at Kei.

"Yes, I am," Kei answered straightforwardly.

"Really?!"

All of them then stare at him as if they are making sure that he was real.

I guess they were shocked to know about this. Though it's not that rare to see two or more local celebrity students here. Maybe, because onii-san was working internationally.

"By the way guys, can you keep it a secret because I want to have a quiet vacation here with my family, can you?" Kei asked them as he tried to capture them with his charm just like what he always does in front of cameras.

Kasey's classmates just nod as a reply.

Kei then flashes his sweetest smile. "Thank you!."

"You're a pro in convincing and charming others, huh? Onii-san." Kasey mumbled as she remembered how his brother used to do that when they are still working together.

"Of course I am." he proudly whispered back. "By the way did you tell them already?" Kei asked as he took a short glance into each of her friends.

Kasey just shook her head as an answer while the boys just stare at her in confusion.

"Just as what I thought," Kei said as he heaved a sigh. "Anyway, it's better to tell them myself." then he approaches Nice and the other five.

"Guys are you free this weekend?" he asked. "If you are, can you come with us, because I'm planning on going to a resort and it will be boring if it was just me and my sister, so can you come along with us? Don't worry it's my treat?" he continued without even giving them a single chance to react nor decline.

While Kei was busy discussing their weekend vacation with the boys, the rest of their classmates started to go home one by one. And just like them Kasey also badly wants to go home so that she can rest.

"It's settled then, on Saturday seven in the morning at our house, we will wait for you there, okay?" Kei confirmed once again.

"Yeah." they all confirmed in chorus.

"Then we're heading home first." Kei excused himself as he comes towards Kasey who was now at her limit. "Let's go," he said as he grabbed her bag and drag her outside to go home.

DAYS pass by so fast, it was already Saturday, and just as they agreed on they all arrived at seven at Okamoto's residence. Every one of them was excited and ready to leave and go to the beach to enjoy their two days vacation sponsored by Kei. Well, aside from Kasey who was already dead tired from the overflowing excitement of her brother.

And while on their way to the resort all of them are super energetic and excited based on how noisy they are.

"Hey, Kasey everyone has so hyped up aside from you, you're so gloomy." Kei commented as he removed her earphone. "it doesn't suit you! You will look ugly, smile! smile." he added as he pinched her cheeks and stretched them to form a smiling face.

"Onii-san!" Kasey yelled at him which made them stop what they were doing.

"Kowaii~" Kei mumbled. "Okay, we won't bother you again, I'm sorry, you seem to be in the bad mood today." Kei immediately apologized as soon as he saw Kasey's glare.

(Translation: Kowaii means scary)

"S-sorry." she apologized, mumbling as she saw that everyone was staring at her.

Kasey wasn't feeling grumpy nor in the bad mood, it was just that she's sleepy and she wants to take a short nap while they are on their way there. It was just that she wasn't able to get a good sleep because of her overly excited brother. He barged into her room in the middle of the night because he can't decide which will he bring and just because he wants to bake some cookies for their snacks, that's why they are awake and busy baking until sunrise.

They just continue what they were doing, while the other person on the other side of the van named Nice was busy sleeping, despite the noise and music they are playing, unlike her who can't even take a short nap.

A few hours later they arrived at their destination, a private beach resort not so far away from other resorts. And automatically Kasey, Denise, and Cherry will be sharing one room while the boys will be separated into two groups, three in each room while her brother got his room. After unpacking their clothes in their designated rooms they decided to have lunch first before they go to the beach.

"Kasey!, everyone! come down quickly!" Kei shouted from the dining area while he was busy transferring their lunch from plastic containers to serving plates.

"Hai!" Kasey shouted back as she finished changing. "Let's go, let's eat first before the two of you change your clothes," she added as she checks herself at the mirror in their room. She was now wearing a matcha-colored slim-fit waist long chiffon beach dress that almost reaches her ankle. (translation: Hai means Yes)

"Okay!" Denise and Cherry both said.

"Guys let's go, let's play and swim." Kei cheerfully invited them as soon as a few minutes later after they finished their lunch.
