Chereads / Unexpectedly Tangled / Chapter 18 - A Brother

Chapter 18 - A Brother

It was already late when they finish packing. "Let's pick them up already" Sana has excitement in her voice as she gets in the van. Yuji just smiled at her as he carries all her stuff including the flowers she received.

Yuji placed all of them at the back, when he gets in the driver seat he noticed Sana on the shotgun seat, "Not sitting on the back?" Yuji asked.

"You offered when were on the way here, so I'm just taking it " Sana said fastening her seatbelt.

The two drove back to the company to pick up Momo and Mina. On the way, Sana opened the screen of the van and played some music. "Do you mind If I play some music?" She asked but she was already about to press a song.

Yuji just nodded upon seeing the song she was about the pick. The moment the song started Yuji hands tapped the steering wheel.

"You like it?" Sana asked smiling as her head softly moves to the beat of the music, "I was a fan before you were even born" Yuji exaggerated. Sana laughed, "He wasn't even an artist when you were two years old" she said.

It was again Shawn Mendes. 

"Didn't you hear the song I played this morning?" he asked, "Ohh, I sleep good" Sana said smiling.

"Momo unnie is also a big fan of him, we went to his concert together" she stated, "Ohh, I knew that" Yuji answered. "You know that we went to his concert? Aren't you a little interested in us?" Sana teased him.

"I meant that I knew that she liked his songs" Yuji explained with irritation in his voice, Sana laughed hard.

"I heard her humming what I played this morning while in the breakfast table" he explained, "No need for explanation Oppa" she said. Yuji blushed once more upon hearing her say that.

Sana noticed it, "Aren't you cute?" she said, "No one calls me that" he answered in a low voice. "Then be my brother and I'll call you like that" Sana said.

"But I'm your mana-" before Yuji could even finish the sentence Sana cuts her off, "Yuji oppa" she yelled surprising Yuji.

"Are you sure? People would be suspicious of us if that happens" Yuji with a nonchalant expression. "Don't worry Momo Unnie will understand" she said.

"I d-didn't mean her, I meant other people in the company" Yuji stuttered and his ears heated up.

"They won't butt in, they're afraid of Mina unnie" she said as she gets comfortable in her seat, "Fine I never had a younger sister in a long time now" Yuji replied.

He received no response and when he look to his right he noticed her already half-asleep. He smiled and lowered the head rest of her seat waking her up a little, he taps her head and offered her a blanket.

"This is me being a brother" Yuji said embarrassed as Sana smiled on his gesture, "You can sleep, traffic will take us hours on the road" he said and she dozed off.

Yuji carefully drives not to wake her up, when they reach the company the two girls were already waiting.

Momo opened up the shotgun door and saw Sana sleeping. "This girl" she smiled then closed it, she moved towards the back. Yuji got down for a moment to take care of the two's stuff.

Mina was also about to sleep when Momo grabbed her sleeping mask. "You're not sleeping on me" Momo said. "Ehhh?" Mina reacted.

Sana sush them both, "I'm trying to sleep." she mumbles, Yuji laughed by the sight of the three. Mina was annoyed by Momo but she doesn't want to be wake alone with Yuji.

After settling in, Yuji spoke. "So home?" he asked. No one answered him, "Food?" he ask again.

"Can't you just cook for us again?" Mina asked, "Go to that place" Momo ordered after sending an address to our group chat. Yuji was irritated.

"Sure." he exhaled loudly. 'You could've just told me, why do you have to send it in the group chat? Are you that disgusted by me?' he nagged on his head.

Mina doze off as well and Momo tried waking her up but Yuji looked at the rear view mirror, "You should just sleep as well" he said as he saw Momo gently pinching Mina.

Mina smiled upon hearing what Yuji said, Momo just turned her head towards the other side of the window. Yuji sighed, 'Is this girl ever going to light up to me?' he asked himself before driving off.

Momo reached towards the screen of the van to play some music, Yuji felt someone moving and when his head turns they come face to face with each other.

In a speed of light Yuji turned his head back to the road with his ears red. Momo blushed upon being this close to him. Yuji cleared his throat upon the beauty that just came across his sight.

"Y-You can control it by the screen in front of you" Yuji whispered. Momo just nods and started playing music since an awkward air surrounds the car.

The awkward atmosphere made them deaf that they weren't able to hear the soft giggling of Sana.

Minutes past and they reached the small restaurant. "Is this the place?" Sana was excited. "This is where you went when someone assaulted your guards alone right?" Mina asked worried. Momo just nodded and smiled.

When they went in the old lady greeted, "It's you two again" the old lady said. "Two? Again?" Sana was puzzled. Momo just rolled his eyes at Yuji. "Did you two came here without me?" Sana asked Momo and Mina. "Nope, it's my first time here."

"That means-" Sana's eyes rounded, Yuji was also confused. "You two dat-" Mina was cut off by the old lady. "This young lady paid for the young mans meal last time" she said before offering them a table.

Then Momo told them about that day, "So you're the one who handled her guards" Mina was surprised. "Oppa is so dependable" Sana said. "Oppa?" Momo has an irritated look.

"Yeah like brother" Sana said smiling at Momo.

Yuji knew that it was someone famous but he never thought it was Momo, "So it was you" Yuji suddenly said.

"And?" Momo rolled her eyes and smirked. The middle-aged woman came and took their order.

"Why is no one coming in?" Sana noticed as she looks at the door of the shop, "I reserved the whole place" Momo answered.

"Rich kid" Yuji stated which Momo wasn't able to hear, "What did you say?" she irritatingly replied.

Mina and Sana just laughed at both of them as they bicker, the two stood up as they argue.

"Calm down you two, when will you get along" Mina said breaking the fight between them. Sana was walking around taking photos.

Momo rolled her eyes and walked up to Sana, "Take that at this angle and make sure the lights aren't against it" she ordered. Sana just followed, and she was surprised by the photos she took.

"Sometimes I forgot that you're on a photography major" Sana said as she looks on the pictures that she has taken. Momo grabbed her phone, "Sit there, I'll take photos of you" she pointed at the nice bench.

Mina stood up and joined them, "Hey! let me in that" she says walking towards them. Yuji also stood up and watched them.

After a few shots, "How about I took a picture of you three?" Yuji insisted, "That's a great Idea" Mina said.

The three of them posed together with Sana on the middle and the two beside them.

Yuji snap the first one and showed it to Momo, "Take a look at it first" he said coldly. Sana and Mina smiled.

"You're good" a sudden compliment escaped Momo's mouth, "But play with the ISO a little" she said like this.

She grabbed the phone and move closer to show him how to do it, Yuji's heart pounds. He smiled 'Damn this woman is great at this' he said to himself.

"Understand?" Momo looked at him and noticed the distance, she acted tough.

"Y-Yeah" Yuji said taking the phone from her hand. The three posed again with Sana still in the middle and the two on each of her side in a pose about to kiss her.

Yuji smiled, The middle-aged woman came with their food. "You look like siblings and this young man is the eldest" she spoke.

All of them rushed towards the table while Yuji helped her with the food in her hands.

"This photos will look great on our account" Sana and Mina said. 

Yuji picks up the food from the counter and watched the three on the table, "Being an older brother, I don't mind" he suddenly blurted out. "Yeah, you're great at it young man" the middle-aged woman spoke.

'Maybe to those two but not that one' the thought surface up from the back of his mind which irritated him.

He shake his head and smiled at the middle-aged woman before walking back to their table.
