Chapter 12 - 12. Petty Brother

"What are you looking at? " Marin's slightly dissatisfied voice came from the side making Rin turn to the blonde and he was met with an annoyed Marin with a pout on her face who was holding out food for him.

"Nothing... Just checking on my brother.." Rin said calmly making Marin raise her eyebrows as she turned to look at Masato and she made eye contact with him due to catching him staring at her.

Masato got flustered as he awkwardly waved at her, to which Marin replied with a nod and a smile before turning away.

"It's kinda creepy..." Marin mumbled as she opened her lips, waiting for Rin to feed her.

"Is it? " Rin asked calmly while putting food into Marin's mouth. And he was slightly distracted by her pink lips as he thought about some not-so-safe things.

"Uhuh~ " Marin nodded, and Shouko also nodded to confirm that she also, felt it was kind of weird.

"He keeps staring at me .... I had rejected him last year, but he just wouldn't give up, " Marin said with a bit of annoyance as she gestured for Rin to give her more food.

She felt a sense of pleasure when she knew Masato was watching and seeing her being so chummy with Rin should surely annoy the former.

It was not that Marin was insidious, but she just disliked Masato for being so rude to Rin.

Rin was his brother, but Masato still banded together with the chumps in the class to isolate his own brother.

So naturally, Marin would have no good impression of this guy. 

So when he confessed, she turned him down, but she was still not cruel enough to humiliate him.

She made sure to gently turn him down, because at the end of the day Masato was Rin's brother and they both had the same mother.

"Poor guy... He really likes you tho..." Rin said in a calm tone but inwardly he felt a bit pleased by her answer.

"What? Do you want me to accept his confession? " Marin pouted as she glared at him with puffed-up cheeks.

'Cute', Rin thought as he gazed at her, puffing her cheeks at him like a puffer fish.

'Even when she is mad, she is till beautiful' 

Rin already declared himself as hopeless inside his mind.

"Nope, I am not that close with him anyways..." Rin said with a smile as he poked her cheeks, deflating them while stuffing her with food.

"Rin.." Shouko's shy voice made him turn to her as he gazed at Shouko holding out a katsudon towards him with her chopsticks.

Naturally, he wouldn't disappoint his other bff.

"It's good.~ Your cooking has gotten even better, Shouko~ " Rin smiled as he gave Shouko a thumbs-up, who smiled bashfully at his comment.

Although it was barely noticeable, he could see that she was visibly vibrating with happiness and excitement.

"Hey! What about me!" Marin asked in indignation as this idiot hadn't complimented her at all, his actions were clearly biased.

"You too ~..." Rin complemented Marin with a bright smile while the latter huffed in annoyance.....

....

"K-Kitagawa-san!" A nervous voice from the side caused Marin, who was preparing to leave, to turn towards the source. 

She saw that it was Masato who was gazing at her with a shy expression, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

"What is it Oosuki-kun?" Marin asked with an easy going smile as she hid her discomfort.

She didn't like talking with Masato and would rather not see his face at all, but due to her high EQ, Marin was adept at not showing her negative emotions.

But Marin felt a bit nervous because she was all alone in the classroom and even though Masato looked harmless Marin couldn't help but get a bit wary because she knew this guy was still obsessed with her.

Marin didn't gaze at Masato for too long, instead focusing on packing up her stuff because Rin and Shouko should be waiting for her.

She had been delayed a bit due to her club activities but who would have expected that Masato would be waiting for her.

Honestly, it felt a bit creepy...

.....

Masato clenched his fist when he heard Marin refer to him as Oosuki while she called his brother by his given name.

Why was there such a difference between them? 

{ Cuz he is the MC and you are bird shit compared to him }

Isn't it because that bastard was a little bit more handsome than him and studied better? 

Why was his crush so close with that guy when she always treated him like a typical classmate?

What was so special about him? He was just an orphaned bastard who would have starved if his mother didn't bring him home.

Not only did he worm his way into his family, but he had also become closer to his crush.

He had to watch this annoying bastard be so chummy with Marin while he could only bitterly watch from the sidelines.

Not only was he close with Marin, but he was also close with Shouko Komi, another beautiful girl, which made all the boys in class, including him, furious.

When the guys in class ganged up on Rin , Masato didn't do anything to stop it, as he had wanted to watch Rin get beat up.

He had a foolish fantasy that maybe Marin and Shouko might find Rin pathetic after seeing him get beaten up.

But reality is often disappointing.....
