"Hey, Katsuki. Why are you silent? Aren't you happy to meet your brother?"
"I didn't expect that I would meet you here, Yoan."
Katsuki tried to act normal, as if he didn't feel anything when he met that person.
The boy with the bowl cut hair style smiled sweetly as he waved his hand. The boy who initially bowed slightly then stood up. He seemed very familiar and knew Katsuki well.
But Katsuki's expression earlier denied all that.
Haruhi Yoan.
The boy was born to a different mother from Katsuki. But Katsuki and Yoan have the same father.
Classic case.
But that's just how it is, Katsuki and Yoan are blood brothers. Although different mothers.
Several years ago, Yoan and his family were still living in Japan. Just like Katsuki and Eijiro. But in fact, now Yoan was in the same place as Katsuki. They are in the same country.
With the same goal.
"Yeah, I didn't think you'd be in America too. I never heard from you again, Katsuki. I thought you were married to that gay man. Oops, you're gay too, aren't you? Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."
Silly talk, Katsuki just snorted softly. He didn't want to show his anger to Yoan. Yoan, who was cunning just like his mother, must have deliberately ignited Katsuki's emotions by saying such sensitive things.
But it's not Katsuki if you're not used to words that offend him.
"Yeah, it's okay. You said the facts, and I'm glad you still remember. You must really love me, because I'm your brother. I hope my brother isn't ashamed to have a brother who is gay," said Katsuki.
No, don't get hung up on the last sentence. That's not satire. But there is another meaning.
Whispers were heard at that moment, there was a look in the eyes that glanced at the two of them. Not a pleasant look for sure, the point now is not only Katsuki who is in the spotlight of the people there. But also Joan.
"Is he the gigolo's brother?"
"What?! is he gigolo?"
"Keep your voice down! Yes, he's a gigolo. And the other guy is his brother. I didn't expect it."
"Could it be that his brother is also a gigolo?"
"I don't know, just keep your voice down they'll hear it."
An attack that is not visible, but the impact is felt. Yoan, who initially wanted to corner his brother, was instead cornered by Katsuki's reputation and the relationship between Katsuki and Yoan.
'Tch, why are they so talkative? even more talkative than women's mouths. Are they used to talking about other people every day? he looks dashing, but his behavior is like a woman's.' Katsuki thought.
He'd be lying if he said he wasn't upset. He wanted to bang on the seats of those who had been talking about him, then beat them to the ground.
But Katsuki didn't want to waste his time and energy. There are more important matters than just venting his emotions.
Katsuki no longer cares about what other people say, he is more concerned about how he can survive and fight them in his own way.
Katsuki and Yoan's flight hours are different. The same goes for the life experiences they have had so far.
But the cunning could be the same.
Of course, because they are brothers.
Yoan sweated a little more. He wiped the sweat slowly without any visible signs of worry. He was relaxed as if he was in the middle of a stage full of people praising him.
But he was in a very, very bad mood. He who initially thought he would benefit this time was actually at a disadvantage.
'Damn it, even though I thought I could put Katsuki into a corner. This person seems to have predicted it would turn out like this. But why did things turn out like this? why am I also dragged into Katsuki's disgusting fact? Ah never mind! Next time I'll strategize.'
Yoan smiled again.
"Of course not. I hope we meet again after this, I want us to drink together at the cafe, we haven't seen each other for a long time," Yoan replied happily.
Fake fun.
"Of course, we'll probably see each other a lot after this. Hm, that four to five years isn't really that long of a time for us Werewolves. But... if there's pain being endured by someone, even if it's only for one day. it feels like hundreds of years. Right, isn't it?" Katsuki said. He meant to make fun of Yoan.
The pain Katsuki was referring to was the mistreatment of the Yoan family. Yoan's biological mother who is Katsuki's step mother treats Katsuki no better than treating a slave.
Katsuki and Eijiro's life story is more or less the same, but the difference is that Katsuki still gets the opportunity to go to school.
That is it.
Moreover, they were both treated with contempt.
But Katsuki learned more to interact like humans, even though he was a werewolf.
He takes the time to interact and pretend like a complete human being. Having fun with humans as entertainment after he was hurt in his own home.
There is no home for the two of them.
"That's right, Katsuki. Your words are getting wiser every day. You are indeed a role model for me. I will learn a lot from you," replied Yoan. "Hm, talking about that you also want to be a model here too, right? I hope we both pass the selection and become models here. We will become very famous and successful models."
Yoan already knew that Katsuki wanted to lure Yoan into mentioning their past treatment. If it is in accordance with Katsuki's wishes, then Yoan will apologize and act like a good child who feels guilty because of his parents' actions.
But Yoan didn't want to be stuck in a similar way. Of course he also understood the situation.
"Yeah, I hope so too." Katsuki actually wanted to end this unimportant talk. He was tired of seeing Yoan's face.
So sick of it.
"Alright, see you later. I'm getting ready, you should get ready too, Katsuki." Yoan left the place and waved at Katsuki.
Katsuki nodded slowly, replied casually and went silent again. Though he thought his life here would run smoothly and quietly. After leaving Japan, for many years he no longer saw his family. But accidentally he met in this place.
He wanted to cancel his desire to register there, but he didn't want to lose to Yoan.
He wants to achieve his goals.
And also revenge.
'Gosh, why didn't I know Shouki from the start?'
Katsuki shook his head, he dismissed the thought. He didn't want himself to get used to being a person who depended on the conveniences provided by others. Shouki was enough to help him.
He must also remember, that this agreement is only a covenant. He didn't want to drag on. There were many things he wanted to carry out when the agreement was made.
'Why am I making too many deals with other people these days?'
Katsuki started to get dizzy, he didn't know if his decision was right or not. He was already bored, but if he stopped it would feel empty.
Tired, that's how Katsuki felt. But he continues to be forced by the world which gives him new problems.
