Yuya reflected on his actions and knew that he was in the wrong. He sat down on the sofa and seemed to be lost in thought. Yuki mover closer to yuya and hug him from behind. She know that yuya needed some time alone and all yuki can do was to give him comfort.
“ yuya-chan, I know you are feeling down right now. Linda – kun is angry at this moment and I think you should try to talk to her tomorrow morning over breakfast. *hug him tighter * Do you want to go for a walk?”
Yuya felt assured to have yuki by his side. He knew that yuki was caught in the middle between him and his sister. Holding hands, they decided to take a walk around the park. Linda who was in her room was talking to her friend on her mobile and did not know that the couple had gone out.
“ yuya – chan, I know you care about Linda – kun and you realize that you and her had drifted apart. You hope that things between you 2 will stay the same as before but you forgot that both of you have grown up. Linda- kun has changed and she have her own opinion on things, her own way of living. She does not need you to plan her life. yuya –chan, you understand?”
Yuya let go of yuki’s hand and went to sit at a bench near the playground. Yuki know that the truth hurts but it hurts her more if they keep arguing over this matter. She went to sit at the bench beside him and keeps glancing at yuya. Yuki was tired after the whole day event and had fallen asleep.
Yuya finally sorted out his thoughts and went to look for yuki. He saw the sleeping yuki and tried to wake her up. Yuki stirred from her sleep and rubbed her tired eyes.
“ yuki – chan, gomen ne.. lets go back now. Come I piggy back you home so that you can sleep.” Yuya piggy back yuki and she fallen asleep again.
Yuya open the door to yuki’s room and slowly put her down on the bed. He was getting ready to leave after putting the blanket for yuki.
“ no, don’t leave me” yuki scream and woke up from her sleep. She was sobbing and in cold sweat. Yuya rushed to her side and assure yuki that she is only having a nightmare.
“ yuya- chan, I dreamt of my mum again. I keep having the same nightmare since the day she left me at the park. I was playing with some kids and when I turn around, she was not there anymore. i’m scared.” Yuki was sobbing so hard and yuya just held her close to him.
“ yuki – chan, don’t wory.. I will never leave you. Come, get back to sleep. I will be sleeping on the floor tonight if you want me to stay behind to accompany you.” Yuya then hold yuki’s hand till morning.
[ next day]
Yuki woken up and was touched to see that yuya did not let go of his hand. She looked at the sleeping yuya from her bed.
“ ohaiyo, yuya – chan” yuki said chirpily
“you are going to be late if you want to talk to your nee- chan and go to skol on time” yuya jumped out of bed and went to brush his teeth. Yuki followed him and went to prepare breakfast.
“ linda – kun, I have prepared breakfast, do you want to eat before leaving?” yuki called out to linda who ignored her.
yuya went up to Linda and prevent her from leaving. Linda’s anger was still not appeased and push yuya’s hand away. She left the door without eating the breakfast yuki prepared.
The dejected yuya went back to the table and eat his breakfast in silence.
“ yuya- chan, I will try to talk to her. you have to get back home and get ready for school. I believe you have a long day ahead. Don’t think so much. If you need me, give me a call and I will come and find you.”
Yuya went home and get ready for school. Yuki make her way to school and her mind keep thinking of ways to salvage the problem. She was not in the mood to concentrate on her studies and realized that there is a message on her mobile. Yuki opened the message which she know is from yuya.

Yuya:

[ At dance studio later in the day]
Everyone was tired after dancing for 2 hrs. Ryo was recording a song for Kanjani 8 album in the morning. Hence, he was given the privilege to arrive later for NEWS rehearsal. Earlier on, ryo heard from the rest that yuya nearly shouted at yamapi and everyone decided to leave him alone. Therefore, Ryo have been trying to find a time to talk to Yuya about Linda. When the producer announced a break, Ryo asked Yuya to follow him out for a chat.
“ tesshi, what happened? You nearly shouted at yamapi. Did something happen to you that caused you to behave his way?” Ryo confronted yuya.
“ I quarreled with my nee-chan yesterday about something. Today, she ignored me when I said sorry to her and now I’m at a loss of how to seek forgiveness from her.” Yuya covered his face with his hands.
“ do you know what your sister like? Maybe you can buy or do something to pacify her. Like buy her favourite food maybe apples? You think about my suggestions and I hope that you will separate work and your personal life. tesshi, when you are ready then go inside to record. I will tell the rest that you need a break.” Ryo left yuya standing there. He had hinted to yuya and hope yuya understands it.
Yuya suddenly remember that his sister loves fuji apples. Whenever linda is sad, she will always buy a fuji apple and take a big bite out of it. After awhile, she will start laughing.
Yuya called yuki who just finish work to meet him at the traffic light near her working place. He said sorry to all of them and say that he have to attend to an important matter and have to leave early.
Both of them went in search of fuji apples but most of the shops are closed or run out of stock. The time is already around 11.30pm and they were hoping that linda is not home yet. There is only one store left and yuya and yuki decided to try their luck.
“ yuya-chan, I found it. *showing yuya the apples* how many do you want to buy?” yuki was holding the apples happily. Yuya took 5 big, round apples and pay at the cashier.
Both of them were smiling all the way home.
They reached yuki’s place at 12 midnite and realized that Linda is already home and was in her room. Yuya decided to arrange the apples nicely beside the sleeping Linda. Yuki just looked at him from the door and felt so touched. She was thinking of how fortunate linda is to have a brother who loves her so much. Yuki yearn for a brother or even a sister who will help her from the bullies in school, someone to share secrets and play with.
Yuya tripped over her linda’s bolster and nearly woke her up. The apples are just beside linda’s bed and are arranged to form a smiley face. Yuya was tired but he insists that yuki went to bed before he is willing to leave.
