Chapter 11
3rd pov
In the morning they woke up early because Zachary reminded them that his brother was coming home from the state. His gang didn't meet Zachary's brother even once. The only one who knows him is Steffan because Zachary and Steffas are childhood friends.
"Hey, all of you. Don't you have a plan to go out?!" Zachary walks toward his gang who are standing in the living room they are about to sit there but Zachary grabs their clothes to make them stop and he pushes them to make them get out of the house, while Zachary doing it he receives some complaints from them but he chooses to ignore what they saying.
"You're so mean. You allow us to stay here but now you want to get rid of us?" Steffan said. All of them are shouting while pulling each other. His gang members are talking using their eyes to win against Zachary but still can't handle him.
"I didn't say that, you're just assuming that I allow you to stay here. All of you almost settled into my own house. Now, go out!" Zachary said. Still pushing them but they take the opportunity while Zachary is talking because his attention moves from discussing that's why his gang successfully escapes from him.
"We're not leaving." Zachary glared at them while watching his gang members run like a kid back into the sofa and try to hug the pillow there.
"You want to die?" Zachary asks but his gang is still not moving. He tries to walk toward them but all of his gang runs away again, which makes Zachary run after them, he can't let them stay there when his brother comes home. Now they look like children who don't want to be caught by their father.
"Hey, how old are you? Why are all of you running inside the house?" They all stop and look at the person who suddenly talks in front of the door.
"So you're here," Zachary said and stood up properly. His gang position is so funny to see. Mike, Sean and Nike are now on the ground because when they ran earlier, Mike slipped from the ground but he accidentally pulled Nike and Sean with him, while Steffan and Ivan are pulling each other's clothes they don't even know why Steffan and Ivan are pulling each other again.
"Pfffftt." Johnsen tried to suppress his laughter. This is a nice introduction to him.
Nike, Sean and Mike stood up from the ground while Ivan and Steffan removed their hands from each other's clothes.
"What was that hahaha?" Johnsen started to laugh because the scene he just saw kept repeating in his mind.
"Tss stop laughing. Hey, are all of you still not leaving?" Zachary turns to shout at his member but they look away avoiding Zachary's gaze.
"Why are you pushing them to leave?" Johnsen interrupts, he's already stopped laughing when he hears his brother speak.
"You're here of course," Zachary answered sarcastically because of that behavior Johnsen shook his head. 'This kid is a heartless person..'
"Just let them stay…. So all of you are always here?" Johnsen looked at them one by one, scanning them again and again while asking that question.
"Yes!" They all said and gave a smile to Zachary who was frowning because of annoyance. He's annoyed by the fact that his gang is trying to ignore his command.
"Nice to meet you, big brother," Ivan spoke after that and didn't mind what their boss said right now.
"Nice to meet you big brother," Nike, Sean and Mike said, while they were smiling but sweating on their forehead because they could feel Zachary's glaring at them from behind.
"Big brother, it's been so many years since the last time we met," Steffan said and walked toward Johnsen's direction to hug him, Johnsen hugged him back.
"It's nice to meet you all," he replies and turns around where the Zachary is.
"How are you, my little brother?" He teases him because he knows that Zachary hates it when he talks to him like that.
"Ugh don't talk like that it makes my body shiver," Zachary said, while wiping his body, showing that he was really shivering but Johnsen didn't take it seriously instead he grabbed the big box beside him Zachary and his gang just noticed.
"What is this?" He asks and opens the box, his eyes widen when he sees what is inside the box. While he's looking inside his gang tries to take a peek inside because of curiosity but most of them can feel that their imaginary saliva will come out anytime.
"Are you happy?" Johnsen asked, with confidence around his face. He expected that Zachary might say thanks to him because it took him so many days to think about what he should buy for his brother before coming back to the country.
"Lots of chocolate and 3 boxes of cake?" Zachary asks him while looking at the food his brother gave to him. While looking at it he thinks he will have a toothache from it.
"Yes, do you like it?" Johnsen asked, but he didn't answer.
"If you don't want it boss, can we have it?" All of his gang members try to grab it but Johnsen rushes to stop their hands.
"Hey, don't I try to spoil my brother, You know I have other food there you can have it," Johnsen complained, but Zachary put his hand to his head. Zachary gang members smile widely before they look at Zachary like they're mocking him using their eyes to make Zachary just glare at them.
"I'm not a child brother," Zachary said. He's grateful for it but he doesn't know if his brother is teasing him even though he knows that Zachary is not always eating sweet food there's only a time he's eating some of it.
"But you're the youngest of our family so I treat you what I like," Johnsen said. He walked through the sofa and sat there. He's ignoring what Zachary wants to point out. They always like this Zachary trying to act mature while using a little brother card to treat him like a child.
"Hays do whatever you want, just go to your room to take a rest." Zachary commands. Johnsen smiled at his brother but still didn't move to obey.
"Hey give that back!" Their attention is now on Steffan and Ivan's attention.
"I'm just borrowing it," Ivan said. But Steffan pulled his clothes. Mike began to stop them again from fighting. It's only a minute when Mike takes his eyes away from the two and then from that few minutes, they are already fighting again.
"Both of you always fight whenever you want!" Mike shouted at them to make the two freeze to their position because from their gang the second scariest is Mike he used to be a calm person and it's really out of the moon when they saw him mad and it's always the time when he's being a referee to the frenemies of their gang.
"Steffan, he is your boyfriend?" Johnsen asked, and both of them were stunned. They just realized that Johnsen is still there. Their eyes look at Johnsen but can't look at each other's faces.
"No! He's not!" Steffan shouts and looks away while Ivan shuts his mouth this time he doesn't have the guts to speak even though he's against how Steffan is more defensive to his answer that it feels like he's disgusted by what Johnsen asked.
"Huh? He's not the one you mention, a ye—" Zachary rushed to run and put his hand to Johnsen's mouth to stop him talking. He looks at him weirdly using his eyes while Zachary tries to stop him from speaking but Zachary shakes his head in answer.
Steffan gripped his phone and walked away to go out of the house without looking at them, while Ivan looked at the ground, he also walked through the living room. 'What was that?' Mike asks in his mind.
"Are they hiding something?" Sean asks their boss. The three of them stare at him with confusion. Zachary shakes his head and goes upstairs.
He knows something because Steffan is his childhood friend after all, but he didn't say anything about It. He chose to keep his mouth shut because he didn't have a right to meddle in their problems. He will support what the two of them decide in the future.
Mike, Sean and Nike look in Johnsen's direction to ask him, "Opss I don't know anything don't ask me." Johnsen surrendered after that he got the one box of chocolate and gave it to Mike.
"It's stressful to stop them huh? Hahaha, by the way, I need to rest. Bye." After that, he turns around and goes upstairs.
"What was that?" Nike asked even if his voice was serious but his eyes could tell that he was teasing Mike.
"What?" Mike asks while he raises his eyebrow.
"We saw that hahaha." Sean is now teasing him too.
"Hey kid don't tease me, remember I'm still older than the two of you," Mike said, and sat on the sofa. He's busy thinking about what is happening to Steffan and Ivan, he wants to know and he's hating himself on why he's curious about it.
"I think he's interested in you, boss and brother are alike in saying their feelings to someone… brothers indeed," Nike said. Mike turned his head to Nike while his eyes widened.
"I'm straight!" Mike suddenly shouts at them but the two laugh because Mike gets annoyed by them.
While in the Zachary room, he is now lying down on his bed and staring at his phone.
"He didn't text me at all." Zachary pouted. Now he's already someone who's talking on his phone.
But he stood up fast when some message popped into his phone. The message from the person he's been waiting for a long hour.
"Go outside there's someone who will give you something, receive it." He jumps from his bed and runs faster through his door.
He didn't even ask Keith what it was because of excitement. Even if it's poop he will receive it.
He ran fast until he was finally in front of his gate. "Are you Zachary Chen?" The person asks in front of his gate and nods to answer.
"Here, Mr.Wong told us to deliver it to you, sir." He gives a box in his hand. Zachary gets it after that he lets Zachary sign and the person who delivers it turns around to walk away.
Zachary happily walks inside his house, he is excited to open the box to see what Keith gave to him.
Zachary suddenly stopped in front of his house and realized something. "Wait, why did he give me this? Are we that close enough? But I already did something for him. Is this a thank-you gift?" Zachary shrugged before finally entering his house.Download Novelah App
