[Author] :: Hey guys (ʘ‿ʘ) This is probably what I look like after a day to day of pulling an all nighter. I was supposed to have a full week for myself, but no. The things I have to do unexpectedly increase and now I only have a short free time. 🤦♀️
I'm pretty sorry for the slow updates, you guys know me I have like, busy days and mental problems to deal with, add to that my unending physical illnesses manifestation.
Oh right- I know I talked a lot, I'm just a bit...hmmm, excited? Imma say something about myself: That I rarely do so since I don't wanna held any of your from reading. (Although, I know many skipped my ramblings.) So here we go. I actually am the type to not play any mobile games, cuz I literally felt...not so entertained, or I feel bored quite quickly, to say. BUT THEN!- I entered a round of near-depression problems and through a family, I manage to stumble in Genshin Impact (play it guys, it's great 😊)

So yeah, I suck at playing cuz I'm not used to it. If you guys are willing, seriously if you're willing....pleaseeee, lend me a hand🥲.
And I play mobile, it glitch like, always, so it's very hard🥲
I've rant so much, right? Anyway, yeah- go and have fun. Hope you enjoy the chapter, I'm sorry for the hold up.❤️
You weren't prepared for it. Even though you're the type to guess many thing through logical reasons; through observation, you didn't expect to be awakened by your cousin who just barge into the room-even though it's his-then announced he'll bring you in their gang meeting. If you think you'll be delighted with the news, no.
"Yeah. I haven't ask Mikey yet, but I'll just inform him later." Keisuke said, sounding like he's containing his excitement but failed in his attempt because he clearly has a huge grin on his face.
You couldn't help but face palmed at his words, then proceed to massage the bridge of your nose as you sigh. "No. I'm not going." Is what you said, a bit resolute that it quickly wiped off the grin Keisuke has. He paused, then his brows furrowed before he cross his arms, now he's frowning.
"And why?" He asked, wanting to know why you didn't want to meet his Gang. He always talked to you about them, excited with every topic and achievement Toman gained. You bet that whenever he came home from a gang fight, he'll call you even at the unholy hour of the morning just to start a story-telling about how Toman did this and that then won. Obviously, not once did Toman lost so all Keisuke has to speak about is their victories that you spend half-listening knowing they won.
He's excited to let Toman meet his cousin...but said cousin doesn't want to go. If Keisuke lets you go just like that without explanation, he wouldn't be Keisuke.
"Why don't you want to go?" He asked annoyed, then he uncrossed his arms and yanked the blanket that you used to cover yourself, causing you to groan before looking at him.
"Just because." Was all you said, then you tried to take back the blanket. Key word: Tried.
Keisuke throw the blanket into the floor, far away from your reach. "That's a stupid reason not to go! I wanna introduce you to my friends, don't you want to meet them too?"
"Want."
"Then why-----
"But not now." Is what you said as you cut him off in asking you once again why you don't want to go. Sitting up, you look at him and sigh. "Kei, I'm a bit tired. Let re-schedule this and go the next day, okay?"
"Re-schedule?" Keisuke was baffled by your choice of words. Then, he saw you used the bed sheet as a blanket, mercilessly ruining the order of his bed as you tucked yourself back into sleep, annoying him. "(Y/N)!! Wake up, hey! Where do you think we're going, a clinic!? This is the only day I can take you there without Mom having to know, so wake up!"

"I don't like it." You grumble as you stood in front of the mirror, brushing your hair while Keisuke tied the bow of your dress behind.
"Tsk, what kind of eyes do you have?" He mocked, his hand skillfully tying the bow and making sure it's not loose before he swing his arm on your shoulder, two pointing fingers of each hands being place in the side of your lips before he stretch it up in a smile. "You look great, you dummy. Smile a bit, s'not like we're gonna have a showdown tonight."
"That's exactly what I'm expecting." You murmur, earning yourself a light smack as Keisuke walk away to grab his keys.
Of course, Fighting is one of the things you expect. Being capable of fighting but not able to do so due to your brother's super strict supervision, you couldn't help but anticipate being involved in a Gang Fight- where you're allowed to vent anger and punch whoever. Whoever that's on the enemies side, that is. Keisuke might smack you in the face a whole lot harder if you knock out one of his friends.
"Don't even attempt on picking a fight. Also..." Keisuke warned then pause on what's he's doing, which is putting his jacket. He throw a look at you with a bit of confusion, "Aren't you here for a break because you're on the verge of having depression?"
You choke on air and curse. "And who exactly told you that?" you asked a bit surprised, but not really. In fact, you already know your Mom will speak about it with Aunt Baji, and if it's not your Mom, it'll be your brother who will talk about it with Keisuke. Even though your brother obviously knew it's a lie, he would still make sure that the simple lie you've spoken of wouldn't become a truth, so out of cautiousness, he would obviously tell it to Keisuke.
Baji rolled his eyes when he heard your tone and then continue on putting back his jacket. Then he shake his head, "That's a lie, ain't it?"
"A bit."
"Oh, like this?" Baji asked, making a size with his thumb and his pointer finger. (🤏- Emoji you helpful thing.)
You look at it and smiled. "Maybe a bit more than that."
Baji widened the gap a bit, "This?"
"More."
"Then this much?"
"Uhm.."
"This?"
"Quite?"
"Oh damn you're hopeless." Baji muttered in surprise before he use his thumb and little finger to measure, "How 'bout this?"
Looking at his hand, you click your fingers and raised a thumbs up. "That's the one! Perfect!"
"..."
'That's not something to feel proud about!' Baji thought, speechless at your gleeful appearance.
"Whatever. Let's just go."
"Oh, okay."

:: For those who're expecting that they'll meet Souya in this chapter, I...feel (not so) genuinely sorry.
Cuz I'm like...the worst, and the biggest, homewrecker in this fanfic. Haha! So yeah, expect to stumble in problems in this fanfic because of me.
