4 Favorite Sibling

How did it flop like this?

Ploy, Yul, and I surrounded the steel table and stared down at the baked inflated cake.

My eyes began to tear up. I can't believe I ruined Yul's hard work!

Yul rubs my back to calm me down, but instead, I begin to cry harder.

"I'll never bake again!" I wail this while rubbing my eyes.

During these moments, I wished I had my teddy bear.

"Don't say that. It's not that bad, and if you try harder, it's bound to become successful." Ploy was trying to reassure me.

Yul nods in agreement, "that's right, don't give up here, Blue!"

I sniffled and wiped my nose with the back of my fist, "really?"

Both Yul and Ploy's hearts went out to their cute friend.

"Of course!" They highly doubt he'd get better, but they wanted to make him feel he could do it.

The teacher of the Home Ec class claps her hands to everyone's attention. "Alright, why don't one of you girls escort Blue to go clean his face."

Ploy takes my hand, "I'll do it, teacher!"

She then pulled me out of the classroom to the bathrooms down the hall.

We paused by the bathrooms so that she could grab something from her skirt pocket.

"Here, take this and clean your face. Remember to wet it with cold water." Ploy hands it over and pushes me toward the bathroom.

I took the handkerchief and went inside. After doing as instructed by wetting it and applying the cold, wet cloth to my eyes, I felt it was less numb.

The door behind me opened, and a guy with spikey red hair that looked like he had dyed it many times approached the sink on my right side.

Judging from the uniform, I think he's a Junior.

A soft knock came from outside the bathroom, "Blue, are you okay in there?"

Ploy sounded concerned.

"Ah, yes, I'm coming out now." I turned and hurried out of the bathroom to join Ploy.

The boy followed after passing me on the way out.

Ploy's eyes followed after, "wasn't that a Junior in the Senior's bathroom just now?"

I nod, "don't worry about it, and let's head back to the classroom."

She peeked back again before following me back to class.

Three periods later

Currently, it's now free time. The seniors had a choice to do whatever they wanted during this time.

They could go to the library, study, or go outside and play sports.

As for me, I enjoyed sitting on the bench and watching the other guys play ball.

Also, I had nothing else to do since all my homework from other classes was completed.

I felt something cold on my cheeks and reacted.

I turned my head to face the culprit, there was a cup in my face and Ploy who stood holding it.

She shoves the straw into my mouth the moment I turned my head.

I grabbed the cup and continued to drink. There was no way I could stay mad when my favorite drink was involved.

"It's pink milk tea. I bought it to make you feel better." Ploy plops down on the bench beside me.

Ploy leaned forward and gazed towards the court with a dreamy expression, "oh wow, he's even more handsome while being sweaty!"

Because of my childish nature, my friends always faulted me for being dense.

I could count how many times I think I didn't realize something until someone had to tell me themself.

Like now, I never really understood Ploy's comments about my best friend.

There were always those times like now when she would pretend to be shy around Itt, but I still don't understand why.

When the game was over, Itt ran up to where we sat. He grabbed the towel I kept near me and wiped his sweaty face, "hey Ploy, when did you come?"

Ploy didn't get to answer because Itt got taken away to play ball again, and she looked disappointed.

The bell rang again to signal the end of free time, my next class was math, and after that, we had two more classes to go to before it was time to go home.

After a while, I met up with Itt as he waited by the school's gate, "yo." Itt raises a hand in greeting while the other holds out a lollipop.

I accepted it and let him place an arm around my shoulder. It's normal for him to go home with me since I always had my driver drop him off at home.

"Not today, little brother!"

The back window to the car we were about to hop in rolled down to reveal a new face.

Itt leans down to get a better look, "oh, look what we have here." He was grinning after discovering who was in the car.

So far, I've introduced my other siblings, but I never presented the sibling that has always meant more to me than anyone else.

"Long time no see, Blue." The car door opened to reveal my sister whose two years older than me.

Judging from her attire, she must have just left from either a photoshoot or something.

I was giddy and flew into her embrace, "Mew!"

My elder sister Mew looked nothing like our family. She was tall and bony in a way that appealed to the eyes.

Mew grew up with a unique feature that was rare amongst Asians, and it was the splash of freckles on her nose.

Not only that, Mew is a natural beauty with short black hair and light brown eyes.

"How's my favorite little boy?" I leaned back a bit so she could get a good look at me.

"Come on, Mew. I'm about to be eighteen soon, so when will you stop calling me your little boy?" I asked her.

The smirk on her face told me she didn't believe that I would grow up.

Itt grins, "it's just as you say, sis. This brat is still the same and sleeps with his teddy bear at night." He gave me a teasing nudge.

I could tell that she and Itt were having fun picking on me.

Mew laughs and wipes at her eye as if wiping a tear, "don't look like that, come on, let's go before mom worries."

I pout but climbed into the car anyways. There must have been a reason why Mew took the time to come pick me up from school herself.

It must be important.
