"So..Uhm, who is..."
"It's the twin, Klenton," Klein answered him flatly.
•••••••••••••••••
But the other voice they heard made them whip their heads towards him. "The twin? What do you mean?"
Kasumi wipes his eyes and meets hers. Ray's eyes start to tear up, it wasn't them, right? He said they are fine,no, he said they are better. Are they caught in an accident? Were they kidnapped like what Lady Furuichi feared? Is that it? Unless...he just lied.
"You lied to me? I should have thought of it. Furuichi will never admit their mistakes...why?—the brothers were shocked when her tears started to fall down— You should have just told me...is it my fault? Is it my fault, KA... Kasumi-kun?" Ray asked, crying.
Klenton looked at his eldest brother, he didn't know what's happening. But, he won't let his friend to cry in front of his stupid brothers. So, he did one thing he needed to do. He guided Ray out of their sight and towards the hospital garden. He helped her sit at the bench and he let her cry.
"Ray ..why do you care for them so much?" Klenton asked. He can't help but to ask why. She isn't related to them in any means, but...she cared for the twins too much as if they were hers.
"I don't really know. I just care for them" Ray said.
--
After the sudden outburst of Ray, she came back with Klenton beside her. Then, all of them..awkwardly stand together waiting for the doctor to come out and tell them what's happening to the twins.
"Are you the family of the patients?" A doctor came out.
The five boys just nod and Ray remains standing silently between Klenton and Kleo.
"I see. The patients are fine, their brain shut down, thankfully you bring them here fast. " The doctor said.
Klaren was the one who asked "their brain shuts down? Why is that?"
"I don't know what your problem is, but all I can say is...the twins' developed a syndrome called Heartbroken Syndrome. I will recommend you to a psychiatrist and a psychologist" the doctor said and left them alone.
The brothers fell in complete silence, no one dared to speak, or dare to move, they remained standing still as if, if they move something will happen.
Ray sighs, she knows she has something to do with the twins situation, maybe she makes them attached to her too much. But she also knew, if she's just going to blame herself, she can't help the twins.
"I'm going now, Klenton. See you tomorrow at school" she said.
Before she could take another step away from them, she heard one's asked her. "Aren't you going to see them, Miss Ray Lee?" She faced the owner of the voice, and saw them all looking at her expectantly. She met the eyes of the one who asked her. "I will, not just now" she said and sent him a brief smile and left.
Kleo, look at her retreating figure. She looked defeated, the way she let out a sigh, the way she cried when she had known who was the one they admitted in hospital. This is the first time he met Ray Lee for the first time, and he could say, she's indeed, beautiful. He almost thought his heart would stop beating the moment he laid his eyes on her.
"You okay, Kleo?" His twin Klein asks.
He smiled and push his glasses upwards, "yeah...more than okay"
