In pain and subconscious, he saw how that person laughed happily while he sitting on the sofa and recording him being jabs in turns. He totally regret to trust someone who he thought as a brother. But it was to late. His life already ruin. Nothing he could do now.

Next morning in Lil Wen house, Lil Wen prepare for their breakfast with Oliver who crave for a Savory Stuffed Pancakes. They laughed together while playing with the flour.

"Hmm..? Where is all the carrots go?"

He let out his alluring laugh with his cute face that makes Lil Wen almost lost his control to eat his cute Oliver. Lil Wen swallowed his saliva and lick his lips.

Oliver stunned after he saw Lil Wen licking his lips. He swallowed his saliva. He started to imagine how it tastes if those tongue licking his lips before its tangled with his lonely tongue.

Unconsciously Oliver steps closer to Lil Wen. He closing his face towards Lil Wen face and kiss Lil Wen lips softly. Lil Wen was stunned over how brave and tempting Oliver that morning but couldn't stop himself from receiving Oliver kissed. After Oliver pulled his lips away, Lil Wen grabbed Oliver head and pulled him closer before he kiss Oliver passionately.

Oscar gaze at Zhu Xian who eat his breakfast silently. His face look so pale, but Oscar doesn't think too much about it. After the breakfast, Oscar ready to go for work but stopped when he think about Zhu Xian who standing behind him to sand him off.

"I have to go for work. You're okay by yourself right?"

Oscar break the morning silent. Zhu Xian nodded.

"Need I call someone to kept you a company?"

Oscar still worries if when he went to work, Zhu Xian will do something stupid behind his back.

"I'm fine. Just go."

Zhu Xian pushed Oscar towards the door. Sometimes he was thinking how annoying Oscar could be. 

"Okay. Before that, if you feel bored you can watch a TV or playing video games. There also a lot of books inside the library upstairs...."

"Yes. Yes...you will be late if you don't stop talking"

Zhu Xian pushed Oscar back gently. Oscar attitude make him feel warm that morning. And the pain in his stomach doesn't hurt as much as before. But he know that Oscar just pity on him. Nothing more. He know how Oscar hate him so much.

"It's okay. I'm the boss after all"

Oscar said arrogantly. Zhu Xian looked at Oscar face annoyingly.

"Okay. I go now. Take care of yourself and don't do something stupid again."

Oscar caressed Zhu Xian hair roughly before he walked away. Zhu Xian shake his head. He closed the door and fixed his massy hair. "Childish"

Zhu Xian enter the kitchen and clean it up. After all done he do the laundry and clean up the house. He finished it all by lunchtime. He opened the fridge to make his lunch. He smiled after his eyes catch a lunch box with a note inside the fridge.

"Warm its before you eat. Make sure you finished it all. I'm not good cook, I am sorry if it teased bad. If you can't eat this fell free to order a takeout"

Zhu Xian take the lunch box. There also money for him. Zhu Xian sigh. Don't know if he should be happy or sad right now. He opened the lid. All of his favorite was inside. "How could he know it?" Zhu Xian smiled in tears. 

Zhu Xian take an evening nap on the sofa. He hoped that he wouldn't have a nightmare if he slept when the day was still bright.

"You.. wake up. There a lot of people waiting for you. Don't disappointed my customers."

Zhu Xian opened his eyes slowly. His brother face appeared from nowhere and pinch his mouth. He grabbed his brother hand and trying to set himself free.

"Stop struggling!"

Zhu Xian body stiff whenever he heard his brother yelled with his rough voice.

"You know if you don't listen to me, what will happen to your mother right?"

His brother pinched getting harder and hurting. He don't dares to respond.

"A bitch like you suppose to be treated as a bitch."

Zhu Xian only can looked at his brother without a word.

"He is yours now. Do whatever all of you want to him. Hahahaha..."

He sit on the sofa and turned on the recording. He smiled while watching him being jabs roughly one after another. The more he cried in pain the more they treated him roughly.

"Zhu Xian...Zhu Xian..."

Zhu Xian wake up in shock. He sweating all over his body.

"Are you okay?"

Asked Oliver who just wake him up from his nightmare. Zhu Xian nodded before he feel nausea. Quickly he jump out from the sofa and run towards the bathroom. He threw up all of his painful away till his stomach hurt.

Oliver who just arrived with Lil Wen just looked at each other. Lil Wen shake his head. He never saw Zhu Xian like that. "What was your brother did to him?" Oliver shake his head. "Who knows"

Zhu Xian came back after vomited almost ten minutes and threw himself onto the sofa. Oliver passed him a glass of warm water.

"You have to drink to clear your throat"

Said Oliver after Zhu Xian refused to drink. Zhu Xian looked at Lil Wen. Lil Wen smile and nodded. Zhu Xian take the glass of water from Oliver and drink it.

"You take a rest while we prepare for dinner. My brother said he will be back tomorrow. He have an emergency task downtown. We will stayed here with you tonight."

Oliver said while he put a blanket on Zhu Xian.

"You can eat anything right?"

Asked Oliver while he take a thermometer from Lil Wen and put it in Zhu Xian ear.

Bib!

Oliver looked at the thermometer screen. 38 degree. Oliver looked at Lil Wen. Lil Wen nodded and leave them to fine something to reducing Zhu Xian fever.

"You have a fever. I tried to reduce your temperature, but if its getting worse. We have to take you to the hospital. "

Zhu Xian grabbed Oliver hand and shake his head. He rather died than going to the hospital at that time. He afraid that his brother will find him if he go to the hospital. Oliver smiled and caressed Zhu Xian hand gently.

"Don't worry. We will try to reduce your temperature. Just rest okay"

Zhu Xian nodded before he was shocked after Lil Wen roughly put a cool pact on his forehead. Oliver slapped Lil Wen hand angrily.

"Could you be gentler? He had a fever."

Lil Wen ignored Oliver words but looking straight at Oliver hand that being tangled with Zhu Xian hand. Oliver smiled. Can't believe with how jealous Lil Wen could be. Oliver lets go Zhu Xian hand softly.

"You can sleep now. We will wake you up after dinner was ready"

Oliver followed Lil Wen who waiting for him with his jealousy looked. Zhu Xian smiled. "Thank goodness they're not fighting".

Zhu Xian clench his eyes tightly after he feel his stomach hurt like there was something rip it wide open. He crying in silent while he tried his best to hide it from Lil Wen and Oliver who happily make their dinner at the kitchen not far away from where he was laying down. 

Zhu Xian slowly left the sofa and walk to his room to find his painkiller. He take his painkiller and rest his body on the bed. He totally can't take it anymore but he must endure it at least till Oscar give up on him. He can't forget how sad Oscar was when he try to commit suicide. He don't want to left sadness in someone heart after his death. He can't take the burden. At least, he want to make people happy for his death after he make people sad for his birth.

Oscar heart feels heavy out of no where. He also don't know why. His instinct said that he must quickly came back home. Oscar drives his car as fast as he could. After reaching at home he quickly came inside before he was stunned by the way Zhu Xian, Oliver and Lil Wen playing card was.

"Are you playing or messed-up the house?"

Ask Oscar while he looked at how messy his house is. Oliver stand up and drag Oscar to play together with them. Oscar just give in and join them to playing the ridiculous games. As long as his little brother was happy.

Zhu Xian looked at Oscar who treated Oliver nicely. In his deep heart, he feels jealous over it and slowly he lost all of his interests in the game. Zhu Xian keep silent and trying his best to show the others that he was enjoying the entire games.

Oliver really don't like to lose over the game. He will whining if he feels like he was about to lose and Lil Wen and Oscar will give in eventually.

Zhu Xian start to feel annoyed over Oliver childish behavior yet he can do nothing. He know he was just an outsider. He have no right to complain.

Zhu Xian feel the pain rushed over to his stomach till his head. He tried to endure its till his body covered with cool sweat. He needs to calm himself down to ease his stomachache. But the more he endured it the more painful he felt.

While Oliver whined over his joker card, Zhu Xian threw all his card before he left to his room. Oliver was startled and looked at Lil Wen in puzzle. Oscar who really pampers his little brother can't take Zhu Xian attitude. He wants to follow Zhu Xian to his room but being stopped by Oliver.

Oscar let out a heavy sigh. Can't believe with how innocent his little brother is.

"Why you stop me? He don't have the right to treat you like that"

Said Oscar angrily.

"What wrong with you?"

Asked Oliver back.

"Why you're so grumpy recently?"

Oliver looks at Oscar face without a blink. Can't believe that his brother can be this heartless.

Oscar was stunned and look at Lil Wen looking for an answer. "Is that was my fault?" Lil Wen shake his head and rise up his shoulders. "It's was nothing to do with me"
