"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry mom, dad, and especially to you Grandpa. I'm really sorry for what happened. It looks like we got in a misunderstanding yesterday that leads them here today." I apologize to them. I heard grandpa heaves a sigh.
"As much as I wanted to punish them. They're still young men with promising strengths. Clearing out our men by just using fists and kicks. The three of them are beyond amazing." Grandpa's smiling words which I find amusing and shocking. My grandpa, who is known for his title "Merciless Killer" is showing compassion.
"Say, Yenyen. How did the four of you meet?" Grandpa asked. Ohshoot.
"Um .. actually ..." I first looked at mom and dad, then at my brothers, and lastly at grandpa. I gasped before answering.
"They're actually my gang mates. Mom, dad, brothers, and grandpa. I joined their gang. The name's Tokugawa." I answer them. They all went silent when I answered. Uh oh, I have a really bad feeling about this.
"A gang, huh?" Usal is dad. I was swallowed by saliva in no time.
"HAHAHAHAHA! My granddaughter is part of a gang! I'm so proud !!" I was shocked by grandpa's reaction. So are mom, dad, and my brothers.
"Uh ... Hehe .. he .." I tried to laugh.
"Since when, Yenyen?" Grandpa asked me with a smile.
"About 3 months." My answer.
"Ain't that surprising ?? My granddaughter who is always busy looking at her phone, staying inside her room, and very damn is a gang member !!" I palm my face at grandpa's description of me. ‘Maldita’ huhuhu.
"Yenyen, why didn't you tell us sooner?" Dad asked me.
"Um, I'm scared y'all get mad about me joining a gang ..." I answered him.
"We'll never get mad about that. It's surprising to be honest, darling." Mom's words smiled at me.
"So our lil sis is much more active than us in terms of fighting." Kaito's older brother smiled as he crossed his arms.
"Man, how lucky you are lil sis! I think I'm going to die here, I still haven't tasted a real fight." Tsumu's older brother muttered. He was immediately given a strong rebuke by older brother Samu.
"Aray!" The complaint is to Tsumu.
"Go and treat that young man's head. His blood is still probably dripping down. By the way, what are their favorite foods? I want to invite them in dinner later." Grandpa's words smiled at me. Woah! Grandpa really did changed after these years. I immediately told him about their favorites and went off to treat Lalaine’s wound.
Oh, what I mean about Purgatory room are the guest rooms here inside the base. Before I went to Lalaine's room I went to Vladmir and Minho for a while. I entered their room and saw Vladmir's angry face. I immediately apologize to them for my behavior awhile ago and explained myself.
"I see. If you didn't do that, then we'll get killed. Lalaine must be feeling very down because of what you did, and probably feel betrayed. You need to do something about that." I could feel the recollection in Vladmir’s voice.
"I know. I really do need to do something about it. And oh, before I go. There are helpers coming here later, just follow them. Okay?" I told them. They both nodded and I immediately go out. I proceed to the next room. I feel a bit scared. I gathered up my courage and went inside
I saw Lalaine sitting at the very far corner of the room, facing the wall. He is crouching down so I can't see his face. I locked the door and slowly walked towards him. I don't know if he already knew that I'm here or not, but it looks like he's ignoring me. I decided to sit in front of him, looking at him. His head is still crouching down.
"Why did you do that?" I heard him ask me, head still crouched down.
"To keep you alive." My answer.
"But it killed me instead." I was stunned by what he said. Oh God, I hurt him. I immediately hugged him. I felt his shoulders shake. Oh no, he's crying. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Lalaine. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I just did that to protect you." I apologize to him. I brushed his hair with my fingers, while my other arm is wrapped around his neck. I leaned my head on his head.
"I'm sorry, Lalaine." I talked to him again. He remained crying until he settled down. He finally lifted up his head that gave me a better look at his face. He's so pretty. Pretty handsome.
I wiped off his tears using my fingers. He's looking at me in amusement. What is he thinking? Why is he looking at me like that? Is there something wrong on my face? I decided to clean his wound instead. As I was about to pour betadine in the cotton I was surprised when he suddenly crossed my waist approaching him. That made our faces near each other. He's still continuing giving me that amusing look.
"Um .. is there something wrong in my face?" Astonished I asked him. He let out a smile at me.
"Nothing. It's just your beauty captures me. But what amazed me is that it is combined with your amazing soul." Smiling Lalaine answered me. It catched me off guard and my face quickly blushed.
"What-- What are you saying there ?! Your wound is clean." I shouted at him and at the same time murmured. He suddenly laughed at what I did.
"You're so cute. If you were a vegetable, it was her ex -sister that caused her trauma. She all apologized to me.
Well, Via and the other kids we're now friends. It was embarrassing at first but as they got used to it, they became friends.
"Missy?" Gordon's distraction. I'm floating again. "H-ha?"
"Are you listening to me?"
"No, I uhm, sorry." I applogized.
