Crime

I would rather the whole world see my embarrassed posture, but I don't want you to know.

Kaito took a few steps back until his back touched the railing of the stairs. At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but the excessive panic had made him unable to think any more.

However, this scene only lasted for a while, Kaito saw his sister bowed her head and got up, then pulled the suitcase and went upstairs from the other side of the stairs.

He looked like a desperado who had finally escaped.

The bathroom was steaming, Kaito held the floor-to-ceiling mirror mounted on the wall with one hand, it took a long time before he had the courage to wipe off the moisture from the mirror, and looked at himself without hesitation.

His eyes were still red, and the traces of crying could be seen at a glance.He lowered his eyes, and without looking at him, he could know the kiss marks and bite marks on his body, starting from the collarbone and extending downward.

He raised his head and let the warm water splash directly on his face, feeling extremely confused.

He didn't know why his sister came back suddenly, let alone when she came back-but if he knew, he felt that the situation would be worse.

Kaito thought of the sound he heard before, if he heard it right, it should be the footsteps of his sister running down the stairs - so she should have seen something?My own brother...by another man...?

omg...

He leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down, his body trembling uncontrollably.

After drying his hair, Kaito straightened his neckline in front of the mirror, but those few conspicuous marks couldn't be covered at all, and he also felt that doing so was simply trying to cover up, so he didn't care about it.

Kaito walked up to the second floor with heavy steps. He really hasn't figured out how to face his sister, but he is worried that if he doesn't explain it, he will only misunderstand her more. If something happens, it will be really troublesome. .

Up to now, many things no longer allow him to escape.

"Miku, are you still asleep?" Kaito knocked on the half-closed door and saw Miku sitting on the bed with his legs crossed.

She didn't respond, remained silent, and every second of that silence made Kaito more uneasy.

"I didn't bother you," Kaito smiled, and walked to her side, "Didn't you agree to go to England? Why did you come back?"

Miku pursed his lips, turned his head to look out the window, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "Although it's not raining at the airport, the weather is also very bad, and the flight has been cancelled."

"That's it, but it's fine," Kaito sat on the armchair beside her, "Your school will definitely make it clear, don't worry too much, I think they can understand this situation."

"Yeah." Miku nodded lightly and didn't speak any more.

There was silence between the two again.

"...Miku," Kaito finally spoke again, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "I'm sorry."

Miku looked back at him, his lips moved, but no words came out.

"From the beginning, I don't know how long I can hide it from you. Of course, the longer the better, the best is never to let you know." Kaito lowered his eyes and sighed, "Is it embarrassing for you? I'm sorry, Miku ,Really sorry."

"Brother," Miku's voice was rather calm, "Do you remember when you came back that night a few years ago?"

Kaito froze for a moment—how could he not remember, that one night, his life since then was completely changed.

It's my brother begging you, don't ask any more questions, okay?

This sentence was the last sentence he said to Miku that day.He thought of what happened afterwards, no matter what happened, Miku almost didn't ask, did it turn out to be like this?

"At that time, did you already know?" Kaito couldn't help but smiled wryly, but felt a little relieved.

"Brother," Miku looked at him, "the time was too hasty a few days ago, and I couldn't even say goodbye to you before I left, but now, I think it's time to say something."

She took out the wallet clip from the suitcase beside her, pulled out a photo from the innermost compartment and handed it to Kaito: "I'm sorry, I brought it back without your permission."

That was the black and white photo she found in the old house at that time.

"You never told me what your life was like before I met you," Miku looked at the photo, "but this photo, let me see a lot."

Kaito also looked at his childhood self in the photo, a little amazed at his sister's delicacy.

"I said 'it's good to see you' at the time, and it seemed to be taken as a joke," Miku said, "I don't know how to express it, brother, you have taken care of me for so many years, if I want to say just' Thank you' would be too heartless."

She looked up at Kaito and continued: "Some things seem to be destined, like I was destined to be your sister. But when I saw this picture, I was thinking, if I met the girl at that time What about you? Am I going to do everything I can to protect that innocent and lovely smile?

When I give myself the answer 'yes', I see everything you've done for me over the years.It is impossible for me not to know, because of me, how much you have suffered, so that I feel that I am so humble that I am unable to repay any of your efforts. "

Kaito looked at Miku in surprise, he didn't expect that the younger sister who was snuggled up to him and acted like a baby not long ago had grown so much without knowing when.

"Miku, do you know that it is you who let me know the warmth of 'family affection' for the first time?" Kaito said, "I haven't told you about my previous life because some things are really very I don’t want you to know about the pain. But I think, if I hadn’t met you in the past, I might still be a cold person now.”

At that moment, Kaito felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. He really didn't expect that this almost inexplicable change would untie the knot in his heart for many years.

"Brother, I can see that you are gentle and kind to everyone. With you, I feel very happy." Miku looked up at him, "But, I also hope that there is such a person who can Make you happy."

Kaito was stunned for a moment, and Miku immediately realized that he seemed to have said something that shouldn't be said, but fortunately, Kaito didn't care too much, he just stood up and rubbed her hair: "Okay, go to bed early, tomorrow you still have to sleep." You have to get up early."

As usual, Kaito kissed her goodnight lightly on the forehead, but was suddenly hugged by her——

"Brother," Miku buried his face in his shoulder, "No matter what happens, you will always be my brother."

"I said what's wrong with you? Recently, you look like you've been healed every day." The assistant handed the water to Kaito who had just come out of the recording studio.

"What? Can't I be happier?" Kaito smiled and unscrewed the bottle cap.

"No," the assistant said, "I heard that your sister went to England a few days ago, I just think you shouldn't miss it for a few days with your personality."

"Why are you so sentimental?" Kaito poured a big sip of water, then wiped his mouth and said, "But it's really time to call and ask, I don't know what's going on with her."

"Don't you," the assistant smiled and pointed to the watch, "It's still early morning in England."

"That's right, I almost forgot." Kaito also smiled.

But he didn't expect that after that, he never got through to Miku's phone again.

As soon as Gakupo got out of the car that morning, he collided with Kaito who hurried out with his head down at the door of the company, but Kaito turned away after a hasty apology, looking very wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Gakupo grabbed his wrist.

Kaito trembled, looked back at him, and said after a long time: "I can't contact Miku anymore."

"what?"

"Just now their school called." Kaito looked at Gakupo steadily, "They said that Miku is missing."

At the same time, the green light at the intersection behind him turned on, and a steady stream of vehicles sped past behind him. The loud and noisy noise finally completely drowned out his voice.
