XV


Tenn rolling around on his bed worriedly. He can't sleep because he's really worried about his sister. He blamed himself for not accompanying her to the garden. If only he's more stubborn, something like this might not happen.

He feels like a failure for not being on her side when she needs it. If only he knew better, it may not end up like this. God, he felt like crying right now. He wants to hold his sister badly.

Tenn sighs and sits up. He needs fresh air to clear his mind. He strolled around and ended up in the garden. While he's here, he tries to find the cause of Riku’s panic attack.

Not finding anything, he sighs and decides to go back to his room. When he arrived in front of Riku’ room, Tenn stopped and stood there. He placed his palm and forehead on it.

Because it's very quiet he tried to hear what was behind the door. Tenn unconsciously smiled when he heard a movement. He focused and didn't realize that Albert walked toward him.

“Tenn-sama, may I know what you're doing here?” Asked him politely. Tenn startled and turned to him. He composed his posture and said, “I'm sorry if I disturbed you Albert-san. I just feels worry about Riku”

Albert smiled at him, “thank you for worrying my young lady. She'll be fine, I already reported to the young master about her state. They're gonna be here soon” said.

They stayed silent for a moment, “you have a similar face with the young lady,” commented Albert suddenly. Tenn looks at him and blinks before looking down and smiling a little, “really?” Asked him softly.

Albert smiled softly, “Tenn-sama” called him to make Tenn look at him, “I can't always be with the young lady, even the young master and Nara-sama. Please do take care of her, I have a feeling that you'll do anything for her”

Tenn didn't say anything and watched Albert excuse himself.

Morning came without anyone realizing it. They gathered in the dining room, waiting for their breakfast to be served. From the look of a black circle under their eyes, they're not having a good sleep last night. They're to occupied by Riku condition.

When Albert came to prepare their breakfast, Sogo couldn't help but ask about Riku's condition.

“Young lady still shaken, but Nara-sama with her right now so everything will be alright” said him while the others were taking breath in realive.

“But please don't come near the young lady this time. She'll be back at her first state where she'll freak out when another guy beside her brothers approaches her. Please be careful around her and give her time to recovery” explained Albert next.

“Eh? What do you mean by that Albert-san? Wasn't she fine with you last night?” Asked Iori

“She's not” began Albert, “she's not fine with me last night. I am just able to stand far enough from her and convince her that everything will be alright until she herself comes to me. I can only come near when she wants to hold my hand. I already know her since the first time she became master’ daughter. I considering her as my own daughter and if she's shaken so badly like this, I just can stood near her and give her something that have her brothers scent so she's calm down” explained him.

Now they know why Albert brought the coat before. It was her brother’ so at least she can calm herself. “I hope she'll get better soon,” said Sogo.

“I know that it has a big effect on her job but please understand,” said Albert.

“Ah, you don't have to worry about that. We'll try our best to help her too” said Mitsuki, grinning.

They barely start eating when Nara comes down while carrying Riku in his arms. She hides her face between his shoulder and neck, from where they are they can tell how tight she holds him.

“Albert, bring Riku breakfast and mine to the pavilion. We'll eat there” command him. He glanced at the other idols and smiled, “it's nice to meet you all, sorry I can't accompany you right now” said him.

“Ah, d-don't worry about that Roro- errr I mean N-nara-san?” Said Sogo shuttered because it was his first time talking with a famous model like him. He didn't even know how he should address him.

Nara chuckled, “you can call me Nara. Rorona Akira is my ‘fake’ identity” Sogo just nodded dumbly at him. Riku hugged him tighter and muffled something. Nara laughed a little and kissed her temple, “okay, okay, we're gonna go right now” said him, fixing her position. He excuses themselves to others.

All day Riku is with her brother and will hide herself when the others approach them. Kumori Akio or Mana, Riku’ other brother, can't come right away because he still has a shooting for his new movie. He can barely come tomorrow.

Riku still can chat with them even though her brother has to be beside her. The next morning they found Riku placing her head on the lap of someone ‘new’ to them. When he heard them, he turned to them and slightly nodded.

They nodded back before walking to the diningroom to find Nara already there. “Morning” greeted him shortly after which they greeted each other.

“Umm, Nara-san, who's with Riku?” Asked Tamaki. Nara swallowed his bread, “that was Nii-san. We'll watch her temporarily until we're sure she's fine to the point she can near you all without our supervision” explained him

They sit in silence before Nara breaks it, “what's really happened to her? Did you guys do something?” He asked casually but they could sense something dangerous from him.

“We don't know” said Iori, “we're not with her when… ‘that’ happened”

“Where was the last time you saw her?” Asked Nara again. The other didn't know how to answer because at that time all of them thought Riku was in her room. Except for Tenn of course.

“She's at the garden” said him, “before she went there I was able to stop and talk with her, I even offered to accompany her but she refused. She said I still can watch her from the balcony so I do that. I was just distracted for a moment but when I turned back to where she went, I couldn't find her. I tried to think positively that she's already back but it's wrong when I saw her running while crying” explained Tenn.

He sigh and massage his temples, “now i'm regretting my choice to let her by herself”

Nara laughed a little and patted his shoulder, “don't worry about that. It was out of your reach so don't blame yourself. Even though you'll have to be more stubborn for being her brother” whispered him the last sentence before walking out.

Tenn tried to process what he just said. His head snaps to where he went but he's already gone. He knows that he's Riku's brother. But why didn't he say anything? Tenn sigh, ‘I at least, can respect them for not forbid me near Riku’

---

Tenn was in his room when he accidentally saw Riku with her brothers at the pavilion. He smiled when he saw her smiling or laughing with her brothers. He smiles but it can't hide his aching heart.

He envies them for being able with Riku and the cause of her smile. He envies them because they can be on her side when she needs someone. He is envious because they can still be with her.

He clutched his shirt where his heart was and bit his lip. His frown deeper each time he saw Riku interactions with her ‘brothers’. Can afford to watch more he turned and flopped himself on the bed while hiding his face in the pillow.

---

Three days have already passed and it's time for them to go back. Riku still has to stay there with her brothers because she's not stable yet. The other didn't mind that and will fulfill an empty space she's leaving. Nara and Mana will also help them the way they can.

They said their goodbye with Riku apologies to them for being such a burden which of course was denied by them. They tried to cheer her up and it made them happy when they saw her smile.

Riku has the opportunity to meet eye to eye with Tenn. His face may look flat but Riku can see worries in his eyes. She smiled assuredly to him, mouthed, ‘i'm fine’ he sighs and looks at her with a small smile before turning to walk away.

Riku tightening her hold on Mana and snuggling her head to his chest.

---

“Nii-san, did you find out the cause of Riku’s panic attack?” Nara asked Mana that night. Riku already sleeps in her room and they start to discuss what may be the cause of Riku panic attack.

Mana sighs, “I don't really know. She won't tell me but it may be something related to the incident” Nara frowns thinking what might be related to that.

“Well, we can't force her. We just need to wait until she tells us by her will” said Nara give up. But it didn't stop him from searching as a guarantee for her safety.

They already asked Albert to check the garden but he himself didn't find anything. They even already checked the cctv but from what they watched, Riku was on the other side which didn't get recorded by cctv. It makes everything more difficult. They even want a list of the attendants new or even old.

Meanwhile Riku

Riku can't sleep. Every time she tries to close her eyes, she'll see his face and it terrifying her. She didn't know how he could be free from jail and how he found her here. She didn't know what he's planning and it made her more scared.

Yes there are her brothers and friends but it didn't make her less worried. It makes her more worried because there is a chance that he'll target them because of her.

She wants to tell her brothers about this but it'll just make them more worried. They may force her to stop being an idol or even grounded her and she didn't want that.

She still wants to stay with the other members, her friends. She still want to be with her twin. She knew it was selfish but she just doesn’t want to lose something she considers important. She won't to get separated from Tenn again.

Thinking about Tenn, she may have to talk with him. She already made him really worried and it made her feel guilty. Riku turns on her phone and search Tenn number. She considered calling him but canceled it because she is still not sure that she can stand another voice beside her brothers alone. But she still tries to text him instead.

Tenn-nii…

Riku, what are you doing up this late? You should sleep and is everything okay?

The answer almost immediately and it make Riku giggled

Sorry, I can't sleep. I need someone to accompany me. Tenn-nii you worry too much, i'm fine here.

Where are your brothers?

I won't bother them. They must be tired because they came here when they barely finished their job and had to take care of me.

It was their duty though..

Are you busy? Am I disturbing you? Sorry I shouldn't text you this late. I'll end this.

No, Riku no. You're not disturbing me, sorry I didn't mean to sound like that. Please don't stop texting me. The fact is i'm very happy when you texting me right now even though your brothers there with you

Okay

So? What do you want to talk about?

I don't know. I just want to text you

Really Riku?

Sorry

Riku didn't know how long they texted each other but she didn't care. She felt safe and more calm after talking with Tenn. They text about many random and silly things and it lifts Riku's mood. They sometimes text about the time they're separated.

Riku…did you want to talk about what happened to you with me?

There is a long space before Riku answer Tenn’ text

I don't know
I didn't want to talk about this

It's okay. You don't need to tell me

Riku think about this, ‘maybe it won't hurt to tell Tenn-nii about this

Tenn-nii…
I want to tell you

Don't force yourself, i'm not gonna force you to tell me

I'm not forcing myself

Okay, okay, i'm here for you

Thank you..
Tenn-nii… he's here

Who?

The one…the one who killed Kaa-san and Tou-san. I don't know how he can be free from jail and find me here. Tenn-nii…. I'm scared. I'm scared of what he might do to me but what scared me more is the thought that he might do something bad to Anii-sama, Nii-san and all my friends. What he might do to you. I don’t want someone hurt because of me. What should I do?

There are a long pause before Tenn text back.

Riku, did you tell your brothers about this?

No, I won't to make them more worried

Riku, you know that you should tell them about this.
I'm not gonna force you to tell them okay? But please promise me that you'll tell them

…okay
I promise

Good
And Riku, don't worry. I'm sure your brothers can take care of themselves, even your friends.
I'm happy that you're worried about me but I'm gonna be fine. I can take care of myself and I promise you that

Thank you
You make me feels so much better

You're lying

What do you mean by that?

I'm your twin. I can sense when you're really fine or not
Riku calm yourself, your brothers there with you and i'll immediately come there if you want

Are you an esper? And thank you for that

Well if it's for you I can be anything

Yes you're
Tenn-nii I can't sleep

Hmm ... .can you call me?

I don't know
I'll tried

Riku is considering calling him but she already said that she'll try, so she's gonna do it.

“Riku? Are you there?”

There is a silent

“I'm here”

“Good, I'm not gonna tell you to keep talking with me. But just listen to me”

Tenn starts to sing a lullaby and it makes Riku's heart gradually calm. She heard his voice and she realized that she missed it so much. His voice calms her and she slowly closes her eyes.

“Riku? Are you still there?”

Didn't get an answer instead of her soft snoring. Tenn smile, “good night Riku, sleep well and have a hood dream”
