Part 2: 4 2 1 (For you); Chapter 72: Moving on

Back in Manes, when Ryan was notified by Cassandra about Ryu coming over for nationals training, he knew the brothers were getting back to their own usual life. He wasn't free to plan for college as he had been busy running Rahi's consulting business including the talks by himself.

Things may have slowed down drastically but he also was keeping an eye on the operations of Ophal while Marcel had the chance to inspect and pay more attention to the refurbishment of Manes' old town project. Ryu was also looking out for Auntie Soh who was running their grandma's business in order to ensure there were no unexpected mishaps or harm. He had to ensure there were defenses ready to fight whatever Jeremy was planning. In actual fact, he was more anxious as compared to his brothers.

Despite how busy he was, he would not miss the chance to sit in the glasshouse while his mind drifted away to missing Ivy. He couldn't help but chuckle at the big teddy bear head that used to sit on top of the roof he was looking at. He sighed at the tough luck his sister had and was more determined to protect her when she recovered as he slowly drifted asleep.

Ryu, who drove to Manes in the early morning, arrived at his quiet grandma's house. It was still creepy for him to step into the shabby-looking house despite the renovation completion due to his first scary experience. To ease his fear, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and knocked on the iron cupboard holding the gardening tools as Daisy ran towards the glasshouse and started to scratch the door, knowing Ryan was in it.

Ryan woke up in an alarming state and instantly was agitated by the loud commotion. He forced himself to head out of the glasshouse and give whoever was causing the commotion a piece of his mind. However, to his surprise, he was pounded by Daisy as he fell to the ground cuddling with her.

"Ryu! Daisy!" Ryan chuckled on the ground. Ryu laughed as Ryan stood up after a while to hug his brother.

"Good to see you brother! How's it going?" Ryu greeted as Ryan patted his back.

"Not too bad... You?" Ryan asked as he lightly punched Ryu's chest.

"Back for nationals." Ryu smiled as Ryan hugged his brother again with his eyes reddened, hidden away from Ryu.

"Glad to hear that..." Ryan gladly said.

Auntie Soh who heard the loud bangs earlier was rushing to their house to check on Ryan only to find the brothers reunion. Daisy ran over to greet Auntie Soh by running in rounds around her and wagging her tail as Auntie Soh patted her.

"Auntie Soh!" Ryu greeted her as he ran to hug her. However, it wasn't enough to stop her from scolding Ryu for the commotion, scaring them.

"So it was you! You think it's funny, is it? I thought what happened to your brother you know!" Auntie Soh glared at Ryu as she smacked him in his arms lightly while Ryan chuckled.

"I had to arrive with a loud bang to make an announcement! I am officially back on the national team!" Ryu cheered with his arms wide up in the air.

"Crazy boy! You better come down now and have your breakfast!" Auntie Soh scolded as she ran back down the stairs with a little smile of gladness.

Ryan ushered both Ryu and Daisy to Auntie Soh's little house. It was only her left as Sandra's siblings had gone to school and Auntie Soh was rushing to head to the store to open up.

"Auntie Soh, let me go to the store and help you today?" Ryu offered while helping her serve the fried eggs.

"No need. No need. You all have more important duties to do and save the universe than helping out an old lady running your grandma's business. Let me do it." Auntie Soh rejected as she served the brothers and sat with them.
