Sei already started walking away as Zaki was left speechless. When Sei reached the open door, he turned to Zaki. “What, didn’t you say you are running out of time? Or don’t you want to go anymore?”
With those words, Zaki snapped and he hastily ran after him.
“Of course not. I’m coming, I’m coming!”
As the two hastily walked at the hallway towards the elevator, Zaki spoke.
“Sei, you don’t really need to come, though.” He said when suddenly, Sei halted. Zaki creased his brows and he was about to ask what’s wrong when he saw how he was being glared at. ’What now? Did I say something he didn’t like?’
“Of course, it’d be easier if you come so it’s fine.” Zaki tried to change the mood but to his surprise, Sei’s expression didn’t change. He didn’t move either. ’Damn it Sei! What is it again? Huh? I’m starting to think you’re purposely doing this to trouble me!’
“Oh c’mon, big bro, I can’t delay anymo-”
“Good, let’s go.” As if the button had finally been pressed, Sei immediately moved and he began walking hastily again, leaving Zaki blinking as he watched him. ’Wait, could it be that he stopped because I didn’t call him ’big bro’? My goodness Sei! You’re enjoying this aren’t you?!’
Zaki ruffled his own hair before he ran towards Sei again. When they reached the rooftop, they immediately boarded a chopper. Sei didn’t allow Zaki to travel by car because it was too easy to get ambushed in one and he forbade him to go anywhere as well so the safest thing to do was to have Sei accompany him.
Time passed and the duo, along with their elite body guards, reached the infamous sky garden where Sei bought the most expensive roses he used on his proposal.
“So you’re planning to confess using flowers too? You are indeed my little brother. You should follow the steps of your big brother. Great plan, great plan.” Sei suddenly said as he kept nodding like a pleased old man and for some reason, Zaki’s vein began to pop.
“Sei- I mean, BIG BRO, I noticed you’ve been so talkative lately.”
“Not really, it was you who turned silent lately so I was forced to talk more.”
“. . .”
Zaki couldn’t help but bite his lip. Lately, he’d been silenced by Sei after almost every sentence he said. ’Was this my so called karma for all the teasing I did to him before? Sigh…’
“Tell me Zaki, what are you planning to do? You’re not thinking about doing the exact thing I did, right? Hinari was there that time so…”
“Who said I’ll do the same thing you did?”
“Then what’s your plan? Let this big brother of yours help you.”
“No, I want to do this myself. Okay, please go wait right there. I will call you once I’m done.” Zaki was pointing at the bench in the corner where he wanted Sei to stay. They were now inside a beautiful green house filled with all kind of roses.
“Big bro, this is a request from your little brother,” he continued and after a moment of silence, Sei gave in and he quietly walked towards the bench and sat there, watching Zaki.
Zaki on the other hand couldn’t help but smile. At this rate, Sei wasn’t acting like a brother anymore but an old man who was making sure that his son picks the right present for the woman he was courting.
“Big boss, you look happy.” Kir was the one who spoke behind Sei. He was standing beside Sei as they both looked at Zaki.
“Well, that guy right there is finally taking life seriously. I am glad he is starting to fight and do his best for himself.”
“That’s right. He’s trying to make an effort now for Miss Hinari.”
“Effort, huh. So you mean, what Zaki is doing right now for his Hinari ups what I did for my wife?”
“Err…”
“Okay, I have decided, I’ll go make an effort for my wife too.”
“Uhm… wait… big boss…”
