KOHARU'S POV
"Youth is both a lie and a form of evil...
by using the word "youth", they twist the reality and distort common sense and anything. logical.
for them, lies, secrets, sins, and failures do nothing but add spices to their adolescence."
"if failures are the hallmark of being young like they say, then someone who's failed to make friends must be at the peak of their youth right."
"I've better be lonely than make some stupid friendship and will eventually end once you failed to achieved their expectations."
"I wish I grow up sooner."
==============
Koharu went home, both he and his little brother live at their grandparent's house that owned a bakery shop every day Koharu helps his Granpa to bake before going to school and after his practice, He helps his grandma to sell buns.
"I'm home grandma, I'll do it go upstairs and take some rest."
"You look so tired so I'll handle it, grandma."
"Ohh thank you so much Koharu, How about your injury are you sure you can do it?" grandma replied
"Of course grandma I'm fine." "Btw where's grandpa and Ikari?" Koharu said
"Ohh thanks, Koharu you are such a good boy, you want some tea?" "Those two are sleeping right now, Ikari force your grandpa to play basketball he said when he grows up he wants to be like you." grandma says
"hahahahah" Koharu laugh
"You're such a wonderful kid Koharu next time invite Yuki and your friends here, I will make them some of my special chocolate bun okay?"
"umm sure grandma I will"*Koharu smile*
============
10th day of August, 3 weeks until the School event, I wonder if you are doing fine Akari any progress? said by maki
Hmm, it's hard to decide if only the three of us are participating, Koharu is always on the court teaching the lower-class, And Yuki...That girl I don't know how to handle her she's so irritating. Akari replied
"Go force them, Mr. Hikaru entrusted you that so don't make him feel disappointed, If you need me and Ichiru we will help you. So don't worry Akari we got you." Maki said
"Thanks, Maki appreciate it, which I have to tell you something "let me stay at your home tonight" let's play! hahahahah"
"huh? where did that come from?"
"Come onnnnnn Makiiii plssss, tomorrow is Saturday we should have fun some times plssss" Akari begging for permission
"Bastard you always make decisions on your own, Tsk all right you can but first help me buy some stuff."
"Yes sir! Hey, Ichiru we got the permission!"
"really? okay! I'll go get some clothes so wait for me" Ichiru was excited
"*sigh* both of you, You are such a kid, come on hurry up Akari the supermarket have sales today so we better hurry"
=============
After walking around the market and buying food and drink, they walk outside and saw someone looks familiar.
"Woah It's so busy around here," Akari says
"Oy Akari we should head out now"
"I wonder why having a sale is such a big deal to others..."
"Wait maki I know that kid, Hey kid do you remember me? why are you here?" Akari said
"Ohh mister from the last time, I'm here to see my brother," Ikari said
"your brother? who?" Akari asked
"Koharu, im his little brother ikari" ikari replied
"KOHARUUUU?!, WAIT WHAT?!" both akari and maki was shock
===========
Both Akari and Maki got tired so they decided to rest a bit, All three of them went to a random restaurant and they continue their conversation, they still cannot believe that Ichiru a sweet boy has an angry-looking brother.
"So you are is his little brother, I can't believe hahaha," Akari said
"At first they reacted the same way so I'm getting used to it Mr. Akari hahaha, And thanks for the food Mr. Maki *smile*"
MAKI'S THOUGHT
He's an angel I want to keep him
"Btw why are you waiting at the market when you can visit him at school," Maki asks Ikari
"I just want to surprise big brother and tell him that I got in our school basketball team"
"Why not wait for him at your house?" maki said
"I want to celebrate it with him..."
*Random students talking in front sits*
"*phew* today's practice was intense"
"Yeah that's because that Koharu was there, He feels like he owned the basketball club"
"He keeps on showing up when he's so lame that his hands got injured hahahahaha"
"I heard that the third year did that to him because he's too bossy after the club meeting they beat the shit out of him and they break his hands HAHAHAHAHA"
"serve him right HAHAHHAHAAH"
"huh?" Ikari cannot believe what he heard
"hey Ikari are you okay" maki ask
"*ahem* Can you keep quiet lower year" Akari is so irritated about their conversation so he stands up and glared at them.
"The first years were Frightened, They lower down their voice and run away, a few seconds later Ikari started crying and run outside the restaurant."
"Hey Ikari wait!, wait for us" Akari and maki followed him
===========
Ikari ended up in an empty park
"why? why? why? did I heard that they did something horrible to my brother"
"Somebody broke my brother's arm?
why do they do such a thing"
Both Akari and maki was looking for him
"IKARI WHERE ARE YOU?"
"COME OUT LET'S TALK"
"Ohh there you are Ikari, I'm sorry that you heard that" Akari found Ikari
"No Mr. Akari it's fine i-i just can't believe that they did that to my brother for no reason,
My brother Kohaku really loves playing basketball I watch him play since I was four years old" "Koharu is kind and a caring brother
But why? Mr. Akari why? why he did not tell me about this?"
"You know Ikari they got jealous because your brother is amazing" "And I'm sure he doesn't want to hurt your feelings because he's your big brother" "He wants to see that you are always smiling" "I know that Koharu is a great brother" Akari replied
"*sniff* thanks Mr. Akari I know he is, And I'm so proud and thankful that I have Kohaku *smile*"
===========
Koharu went home after the training.
"Grandma I'm home, sorry I got late

"Ohh that kid he said he will surprise you because he got into the basketball team from his school, Ikari was so happy he wants to celebrate just the two of you. You didn't see him? he's waiting for you at the market"
"Huh!? I didn't see him" "wait Ill go check..."
