They keep silent for a moment until Nagi break it, "maybe Rei for Reika?"

Nagi' sentence make them wonder, from what they get Reika is Riku, if Rei is Reika that's mean Rei is also Riku which mean that person is Riku' relative.

"Did you know who is he Kujo-san?" ask Iori

"No" answer him shortly

"Well, we'll get the answer soon. From what we heard before, he seemed planning to make a dinner for us. We can ask later" said Yamato

After accompany Kei to the kitchen, Sogo not immediately back and decide to help him. He may not good at cooking, but Kei seem like really good at this seeing from what he do since. And by the way, they will make a pasta.

"I'm sorry for asking this but... Are you related with Riku-kun by blood?"

Kei stop what he's doing and facing Sogo with a plain look, "y-you don't need to answer that, sorry for asking"

He back to his work, "no" Sogo turn to him, "we're not related by blood, our family adopted him"

It's been a long time since they meet Riku. The last time they meet him is about three month ago. Today they went to hospital to accompany their mother do a check up.

They wait for their mother in a waiting room. Some nurses past by and talking about a kid who barely get an accident which killed his parent. They don't pay it any attention at first but when one of them mention about red hair, it perk their interest.

Gin stand and walk to them, "excuse me" the nurses turn around, "yes? Is there something we can help?" Kei and Ken followed Gin and stand beside him, "it's nothing but can you tell us about this kid?"

"What your relationship with him might be?" Ask one of the nurse

"We're his far relatives, we never heard the news so we want to know" the nurse exchange gaze before say, "did you know his name?"

Look like they want test are they really his relative or not, "Nanase Riku" answer them at the same time

They look satisfied by that, "i'm sorry for being doubtful, yes, it's been a week since he brought here. He experienced a terrible accident which took his parent and look like he just alone now"

"Yes, he look so broken when heard about his parent dead. I remember him as a patient who often in and out from here, i once ask where his brother who visit him frequently but he doesn't answer me"

"And his health condition didn't help"

They know what had happened because they took a part in it. Riku is a strong individual, it's just God who cruelty give him a hard life. Riku have something in him which make people around him want to protect him, take an example from them, but at the same time it also invite some bad intentions. They really want to protect him.

After thanking and asked his room to the nurses, they immediately come there. When they reach the door, Gin open it slowly and they come in. The first thing they saw is Riku who facing the windows and have a knife in his hand. Gin furrowed, "Riku" call him make Riku startled

Riku turn and find them, "ah, Gin-nii, Kei-nii and Ken-nii long time no see" greet him with forced smile

They approach him. Gin stand in front of him and caressing his check, "you ok there?"

"I'm fine" answered him with weak grin

"You know it's fine to cry" said Kei who sit beside him and softly knead his shoulder

Ken take the knife away, "you have my shoulder if you want" said him with a big grin

Riku stare at them before his eyes start to teary. He cried his heart out while the other three hug him. When they do that, they're not aware their mother existence. Without them knowing, their mother followed them.

After Riku calm, she step inside, "Do you not have anyone anymore?" The four boy startled, "Mom!" Exclaim Ken

She approach Riku who bow his head and make him face her, "did you want to become our family?"

"Mom?! What are you talking about? Our life is to dangerous for him" Asked Gin

They facing her son with a soft smile, "but we can't leave him alone in this world, right?"

"But..."

"What do you think Riku-kun?" She turn back at Riku, "and i'm sure you aware about our family, so it's understandable if you reject it"

"I... I accept it" the boys snap their head toward Riku, "you sure Riku? You know it will dangerous" ask Gin

"I'll be fine Gin-nii, I already being a part of it since a long time ago. New experience won't hurt" said him with a real smile

Everyone in that room smile, "welcome to our family"

-+

"Where's his parent?" ask Sogo

"They're dead in accident, that's why we take Rei in our family" said Kei lightly

Sogo eyes widen, "Sou ka, but why you call him Reika? I mean he introduce himself to us as Nanase Riku not... Sunohara Reika?" asked Sogo

"Reika is his given name by our family, he's not part of Nanase again and Riku just a reminder of his past life"

-+

"Riku-kun can you come here for a moment" call Riku' mom

"Yes mom" Riku approach his adopted parent

"Riku, you know how our family is" said his father seriously, "is to dangerous if you still have your name when you being seen with us"

Riku titled his head don't understand, "we have to change your name for your true identity or someone who related with you will be in dangerous" said Gin

Riku eyes widened, "I... It's fine, I trust you all just want the best for me" said Riku with a cute grin

Ken suddenly tackled him, "you're so cutee~"

"k-ken-nii, I can't breath" said Riku pretended to got an attack made Ken immediately released him, "you okay? Is there something hurt? Did you need your inhaler?" Ask Ken panicky

When he's panic, Riku try his best not to laugh which made his body trembled, "Riku? Are you okay?" He get a better look at Riku, "did you laughing?!" Ken mouth opened wide, "you fooled me!!"

Riku can't hold it any longer and laugh loudly, "g-gomen, it's just fun to tease you Ken-nii" said him with giggles

"Youu...." Riku ran to Kei and hide behind him, "Kei-nii help me!" Said him while still laughing

Ken try to get him but Kei blocking him, "Kei-nii step aside, I need to punish this naughty kid" Riku stick out his tongue. Everyone just watch them amused

"Stop it you two" said their dad, "we'll tell Riku his new name" they stop and look at their dad, "Riku, from now on you'll be Sunohara Reika"

-+

"A-ah" they quite after that. This silent make Sogo feels uncomfortable. Frequently, he glance at Kei, "is there something you want to say Sogo-san?" Asked Kei which make Sogo startled

"A-ah, no" Sogo try to focus on his work but his curiosity beat him, "ano, there is something perk my interest"

"What's that?"

"Umm, from what I saw before, you seemed so protective toward Riku-kun. I wonder how he manage to get your permission to become an idol which is hard for him"

Kei stop and think about that for a moment, he facing Sogo with stoic look but you can see an imaginary flower around him, "no one can resist his cuteness and pleading eyes"

-+

"Mom! Dad!" Call Riku excitedly and went to them who currently in veranda

"What it is Rei, you look so happy" ask his mom

"Yes! Look" he show some paper to his parent, "I got scouted!!"

"What?!" A shout can be heard from garden

Riku turn and found his brothers there, "hehehe... I got scouted for being an idol" said Riku sheepishly

"No! You can't accept it" said Ken

"Eehh!!?!?? Why?!!" Protest Riku

"Your health doesn't help Rei" said Kei

"But i'm better than before" said Riku weakly while bowing his head, "you know that being an idol is my dream, right?" He look up and look at his brothers with puppy eyes, "can I accept it? Please~ I promise to take care myself"

They try to resist him, "no-"

"Please Onii-chan~" they stand stiff heard that. They tried to hold themselves back until their bodies trembled, their face redden, "why you have to be so cute" mumble them

Riku who doesn't heard it right, titled his head and look at them innocently with an imaginary flower with radiance around him, "Gin-nii!" They look at their older brother who almost lost himself, "eargh" he scrambled his hair, "mom, dad" he look at his parent to help

Their parent giggles make Riku more confused, "if your brothers agreed with that, nothing we can do" said their dad along with their mother who nodded, Riku want to cheer up but his brother interrupt him, "but you have to promise that you'll take a good care of yourself"

"Understand!" Said with military style. He hug each of them before run to contact the president who scouted him

-+

Sogo giggled, "I understand that. But why he is not introduce himself with his 'new' name?"

"It's dangerous" said Kei ambiguous

Sogo want to ask further but Kei doesn't seem to want to talk about it so he keep quiet. They almost done with the foods, "i'm sorry but can you get Rei and everyone Sogo-san? I'll finish it by myself" ask Kei

"are you sure? I can help a little bit more" said Sogo

"It's fine, it almost finish after all"

"If you say so" Sogo wash his hand and went to get the other

Riku and Tamaki walk together to the dining room. They already prepared so they can immediately go to their job. When they arrive, everyone already there and already prepared too except Sogo who went to help Kei.

"I don't know you guys already come home" said Tamaki while take a seat between Riku and Iori

"that's because you're in Riku' room" said Mitsuki, "what are you doing there for a long time?"

"I did my homeworks and watch movie recommended by Keichi" answered Tamaki

"Keichi? Is that his name?" Ask Ryuu

Before either of them give an answer, someone shout (You can't say it's a shout because it's more like a flat, loud sound) from the kitchen, "did you want something to add in your food, Rei?"

"No need" answered Riku. They already suspect this Rei or Reika is Riku but when it's really true, they still feels surprised.

They chatted for a while before the food come, Yamato whistle, "that's look delicious" praised him while the other nod their head except Tamaki who start to drooling

"Thank you for the compliment Nikaido-san" said Kei flatly

"Hahaha... You're wel- wait! I don't remember even mentioned my name to you... Etto.."

Kei stand up straight, "i'm sorry for not introduce myself first" said him in butler manner, "my name is Sunohara Kei, age 19 years old, please call me Suno-san or Kei-kun if you're older than me, i'm Rei' brother. It's nice to meet you all" he end his introduction while slightly bow

Everyone stuck because his manner and how he introduce himself. They heard a giggles and turn to the source and found it from Riku, "i'm sorry. Kei-nii is a stiff person, I wish you can get used to it"

"It didn't explain how he know my name because he's not like someone who like something about idols" said Yamato

"I know all of your name" said Kei make all the attention turn to him, he began to said all their name until basic information they're sure not ever they share.

"Wait! Wait! How'd you know all of that?! I don't remember ever said that to just anyone!?" Ask Mitsuki

"You never, I just do some research to someone who around Rei" Kei said plainly as if it's something usual. Their mouths wide opened.

"Kei-nii!!! I told you not to do that! That's impolite and pass someone personal life" scold Riku before turn to everyone in the room, "I'm sorry, i'm terrible sorry, I already told him to stop his habit but... I'm sorry, really really sorry" said him frantically while bowing his head

"Wow, wow, calm down Nanase. We, well at least me doesn't mind. It's just basic information after all. I don't mind sharing it" said Gaku

"Yeah, it's fine Riku. You don't need to apologize" said Nagi

"At least he's not do a research of our more personal information and life" comment Iori

"I can do that if I want" said Kei. They snap to him, "what?!!"

"Kei-nii!"

"Just kidding"

"The way you said it so flatly, it isn't convincing" said Yamato

"M-maa, let's eat or we'll be late for the show"

They eat while try to make a conversation with Kei which he give a plain reaction make them a little awkward. When they chatting, Riku tried to move his vegetables to Kei' plate, "if you not eat your vegetables, I'll make Ken bugging you all week"

Riku want to protest but it die down when Kei look at him with a flat look. In the end, he take his vegetables back sullenly. Without them noticing, someone watch them with a hint of jealousy.
