Being the little sister of Sae and Rin was exhausting. You weren’t a little kid anymore, but they still acted like you were—hovering, criticizing, setting impossible standards. Even Rin, who was the same age as you, behaved more like your parents than they did. You love your brothers more than anything, but sometimes, it was just too much.

So when you casually mentioned over dinner that you had a date tonight, you already knew how this would go. Their sister? Going on a date? By herself?

Rin: Like hell you’re going.

Rin had already put his chopsticks down, his jaw tight as he glared at you.

Your eyes meet Sae’s, hoping he’d back you ip, which was incredibly naive. He didn’t even look angry, just unimpressed, like the thought of you dating was an insult to his intelligence. He sighs, shaking his head in disapproval.

Sae: Cancel it.
