（   SETOKA   ）

I immediately opened the door when I heard someone knocking. I’m so intrigued after seeing Scarlet’s latest tweet! I’m pretty sure she indirected Yuta! They broke up?

“Kuya what happened to you and Scarlet?!” bungad ko sa kanya. He sighed, and sat in the couch comfortably.

“We’re watching Home Alone?”

“It’s our favorite.”

I guess he doesn’t want to talk about it. We just continued watching, but I saw him spacing out. Whoever hurted my brother, catch these hands right now. No one can make the Nakamoto Yuta go on a phase like this unless you’re Dong Sicheng! Sumandal ako sa kanya at bumalik na siya sa katotohanan. He didn’t say anything. Gan’to talaga palagi t’wing may mga pangit kaming araw. We either say it, or just watch a movie until we find ourselves crying because of hurting too much.

Yuta is very vulnerable, I know. He’s my brother and he protects me a lot, ever since mom and dad went to another country. Pero kahit gano’n siya, his heart is and will always be fragile. He cries at the lightest things, he depends to everyone a lot, and you’d usually find him asking for a hug everyday.

I think his fragile heart broke today.

I heard him sobbing, and I tapped his back. “It’s going to be okay,” sabi ko at umiyak lang siya lalo.

He doesn’t need to say anything. No matter how many times he cries to me at whatever time or date, I’d stay. He isn’t the best sibling out there and I’m not the most expressive one either, but I understand him more than anyone else. I don’t want my brother to suffer all the time but what can I do? The only thing I could do is listen to him weep.

“Hush, Yu. Our rainbow is going to come soon, right?” I asked and he immediately gave me a hug.

Finally, all the tears I’ve been holding back fell.
