5 [3] The Lingering Gloom

"Who would have thought that she will be the thorn's lover."

Janus, The Genesis

Awaking from her deep slumber, she felt a sense of delight that this day may not be so terrible, a bold thought considering it's Monday - but no judgment. Hearing a 'clunk' from downstairs, she knew that someone had already gotten up. And because of the sentiment she was feeling, she decided it would be pleasant to greet whoever that was. 

She did not bother to wash up and change her gray pajamas, she just went straight downstairs with gray folders in her hands. Truthfully, she was expecting it would be her friend, but shockingly, it was her heavy sleeper brother! 

It seems that she was correct, today is a delightful day! A miracle, even. 

With good intentions, deep from her heart, she greeted her younger brother with the added shock tone for the miracle she had just witnessed. 

"Oh, Thaddeus you're awake! That's a miracle." 

"What the hell! Don't fucking scare me like that!" Her younger brother said to her in a crossly manner with the addition of a death stare.

"W-wha.." She pitifully stammered, puzzled with her brother's tantrum. 

Really!? She was just in a good mood! She willingly decided to be positive for once in the morning and yet the return for her act was an awakening complaint with a dash of profanity in it. She doesn't even know why he's that agitated! If he's going to burst at someone - at least not to the one who is still half asleep!

Thaddeus was also in a good mood, too good that he actually dared to risk his dignity for a childish cause. Sure, he seemed to be mad at his older sister, but what hides beneath the red color is a flushed face of embarrassment, he couldn't believe that when he was getting in the spirit, an interference would appear. 

His fierceness faltered, showing a hint of bashfulness inside him. He shook his head to regain his composure, and took another spoonful of cereal to his mouth and demanded, "Whatever, cook me some bacon and eggs."

"You're already eating cereal, you g-glutton!" His sister retorted and in a glumly manner, she sat down beside him and opened her folders filled with papers related to her work. There, two black-haired siblings were sitting on a gray couch with a drained soul in a gloomy atmosphere.

The Irvine sibling's mood has officially been spoiled.

"30 years ago, nineteen students from the prestigious school, Astrum Private School, were massacred mercilessly by a salary man named Robert Pierce during their I.M.C. Retreat and Training at Bradford's Northern Woods---"

"---The only survivors from this tragic incident are the two students; Iris Vos and Cole Bradford---"

"THADDEUS IRVINE! Stop watching murder documentaries in the mornings, it gives me the creeps!"

So, that video was a murder documentary - it's confirmed, he's a psycho.

"Such an expressive face from the infamous Ice Queen, my dear sister." Thaddeus wryly said to his sister. Sneering with patent mockery in his eyes, he turned up the audio volume of the horrific to its maximum level.

P-psycho!

"You are such an ASSHOLE! Wait until I send you back to father's house!" The Ice Queen threatened.

But Thaddeus ignored and scoffed at his sister's threat, for he, Thaddeus Irvine, is a famous artist from Mimus Entertainment, a legendary company known to produce godlike talented and skilled artists. Because of this, the company became one of the top entertainment agencies in the country of Ignetium. If his sister dared to send him back to their father, he is absolutely sure that his fans would strongly cause a riot. 

A fan's raging heart can ruin a soul. 

With that quote in mind, his sister, Tiana Irvine, the Chairwoman of Mimus Entertainment is just full of crap. Besides, they are siblings! She loves him! Probably? Eh, blood is thicker than water, right?

Right???
