Daiki thought that Ryosuke will give up yesterday night, but when he woke up this morning, he saw Ryosuke still in the garden and that made Daiki surprised.
In the hallway, Daiki walked pass Inoo and the young butler approached his master, and gave a short bowed. “Daiki-sama, can I ask you a favor?” Inoo asked. Daiki raised his eyebrows then the butler continue again.
“Can you stop to make Ryosuke-sama suffered like this? I know I am rude, Daiki-sama but he is not at fault. Onegai!” Inoo said, and bowed. Daiki just sighed, then walked again.

“Ryosuke-sama, please stop this.” Hikaru said, whle trying to protect the younger boy from the heavy rain. Ryosuke just ignored him, and continued to dig in the ground.
“Please, Ryosuke-sama. You can’t find it. This is impossible. The time limit is just one hour again.” Hikaru almost lost his patience. He is worried like hell, but the younger boy still stubborn. Ryosuke is already in mess, his clothes soaked, his hands and legs are dirty. After pestering for a while, finally the younger facing Hikaru while smilling. Hikaru can sees Ryosuke’s pale face, make him worried more.
“Hikaru-kun, I am doing this, not because I want my brothers to accept me.” Ryosuke said, and that makes Hikaru frown.
“Those necklaces are so precious to my brothers. I know how it feel if we lost something precious to us. Beside, those necklaces were given by their mother, the only thing that connected them with their mother. It must be too precious. So, I must find it no matter happens.” Ryosuke said with firm tone, while holding the pendant in his neck. Hikaru only stunned with Ryosuke’s words.

“I know what you want to talk, Hikaru. If you want to talk about that boy, just leave me. I don’t want to hear your defend toward him. If you have much time to depend him, just use it to do your job.” Kota said sarcastically and he back to his previous activity.
“Kota, I just want to tell you in my position as your best friend, not as your butler. Please, consider your action again toward him.” Hikaru said.
Kota still silent, so Hikaru continued, “Kota, this is not his fault. Is it his fault if he was born as your brother? Is it his fault if your father had an affair once with Sakura? I know that you’re just upset after heard that your father had raped Sakura in the past, but you can’t blame Ryosuke because of that. Can you consider his feelings too?”
“Urusai Hikaru! Don’t talk about it again, and please leave me alone.” Kota replied angrily and Hikaru just sighed for the countless time today. “I just don’t want you to regret it later, Kota.” Hikaru said, and with that he left the room.

***Yuya’s Flashback***
Chibi Yuya is sitting on one of the bench in the park. He walked aimlessly earlier and his feet bring him to this unknown park near an orphanage. He remembered when he decided to follow his brothers’ decision to throw the necklace that been given from his mother. Their mother told them to use that necklace every day, but his friends also both of Kota’s and Daiki’s friends mock them. They said it’s too girly for a boy to use a such necklace. So, because of embarrassment, Kota and Daiki decided to throw it in their garden. Being the obedient kid, so Yuya just followed his brothers’ action although he didn’t want to. He realized that Kota and Daiki just engulfed by their embarrassed feeling because of their friends, and Yuya is pretty sure Kota and Daiki will regret it later, but not like his brothers, Yuya is already regret it now.
Unconsciously, the tears already fallen from his eyes. “Gomen, okaa-san..” he muttered lowly while closed his eyes. He didn’t realized that someone already stand in front of him. When Yuya opened his eyes, he is a bit shocked because a pair of brown orbs eyeing him, looked interested. He looked at the shorter boy in front of him. The boy seems younger than him and his chubby cheeks makes him looked adorable.
“Ne~ Nii-chan, why are you crying?” The boy asked and his eyes sparkle, make him cuter than before. Yuya just smile and pat the space beside him, signaling the boy to sit beside him. The boy just obeyed, and sit beside Yuya.
“I am crying because I feel sad. I had thrown something precious to me that given from my mom, because of a silly reason.” Yuya said while wipe his tears. He doesn’t know why, but Yuya is so attached to the little boy beside him. Maybe because his smile, his chubby cheeks or his petite figure that makes him like that. He is already tell the boy why he was crying earlier. After he tells all his problems, he feels relieved. The boy just smiling, and that makes Yuya’s heart become warm for some reasons.
“Nii-chan~ you know, you are so lucky. From your story, I know that you have a good family. You have parents that really love you, and you have older and little brother that love you too. Although it’s sad that you throw the precious thing from your mother, but you still have her love toward you that more precious than that thing deshou?” The boy asked, and realization come to Yuya. Yes, he still has his mother’s love.
“You are so lucky than me, nii-chan. You still have your family, so you don’t need to regret anything, okay? So, cheer up.” The boy said while flashing his warm smile. Yuya frown hear the boy words, and the boy saw that.
“I am an orphan nii-chan. I live on that orphanage.” The boy said while pointing at the big building near them.
“My mother left me on that orphanage when I was born, because she doesn’t want me. Demo ne~ I still love her and search her. Demo..I found that she already passed away, and I found out the only thing that she inherited me is this necklace.” The boy said while showed Yuya a necklace with round pendant in it. The necklace is so beautiful and matched with the boy perfectly. Yuya doesn’t understand why the boy open up to him, but he find interesting to listening the story from the boy.
“Even without words, I know my mother love me. Maybe she regretted it when she left me, but it doesn’t matter anymore, because the important thing that I know, she loves me. She told it in the letter along with this necklace when I found out about her.” The boy said again, and he faces Yuya.
“So, nii-chan, even you regret it that you thrown that precious thing, but from now on, love your mother and your family more, so you won’t regret it later.” The boy said. Yuya just nodded, and smile toward the boy.
“Ah, wasureta! I must go back to orphanage now, or the caretaker will scold me again if I come back late.” The boy said while smile sheepishly. He stood up, and looked deeply at Yuya.
“Don’t cry again ne~ nii-chan.” He said, and then smile. Yuya nodded and wave toward the boy when the said boy leaving him. After sometime, Yuya decided to come back home.
“Ah, I forget ask his name.” Yuya muttered lowly and he thinks he will come back later to this place and meet with that wonderful boy again. But, when Yuya come back to that place, he never meet again with that boy.
***End of Flashback***
“So, Ryosuke, you are that boy ne~ I still remember your necklace after all.” Yuya said smiling, while starring at Ryosuke’s necklace.

Ryosuke opens his eyes slowly. He feels his head is heavy. He is trying to sit up, but a gentle hand then squeezed his body, to makes him lays back again. He looked at the figure, and find Yuto eyeing him with worried expression. “Yuto-kun..” Ryosuke said weakly.
“You shouldn’t get up yet. You need a rest, Ryosuke. You still have a fever.” Yuto said.
“How are you feeling? Is there anything you need?” Yuto ask then.
“I want to drink.” Ryosuke said softly, and Yuto get a glass of water on top of the drawer and assisted Ryosuke to drink the water. Ryosuke feel refresh when the liquid enters his body. Yuto collect the pillows under his back, and then lays him back down onto that pillow so he is now in half sitting position, and still with that worried expression plastered in Yuto’s face.
“Yuto-kun, what happened? Why I am here?” Ryosuke ask.
“You collapsed when you want to out from this house, so I brought you here. The doctor said you collapsed due to exhaustion, and not to forget you stayed under the rain for hours, so that’s why you collapsed and having a high fever.” Yuto explained, and Ryosuke just nodded.
“Gomen for make you worried.” The brown hair boy said, feeling guilty. Yuto just sighed, and second later he already brings the boy into his warm embrace. Ryosuke a bit startled by Yuto’s action, but he just keep silent and rested his head on Yuto’s chest.
“Please, Ryosuke. Stop this, you know that my mother and I are willingly to accept you. Please don’t make yourself suffer again.” Yuto said softly, while trying to hold his tears. He can’t see Ryosuke, his beloved cousin suffer like this. Worst, Ryosuke suffer because of his own brothers.
“Yuto-kun..” Ryosuke mumbled, and he returned the hug. They just keep like that for a few minutes, sharing warm in each other embrace until Yuto pulled himself from Ryosuke.
“Can you stop this, Ryosuke?” Yuto looked at Ryosuke with pleading eyes but the later just shook his head.
“I can’t Yuto-kun..You don’t understand. Since I was a kid, I always think, I shouldn’t be born. Because my own mother doesn’t want me and left me in orphanage. I feel nobody even my mother love me, so why I must born in this world?” Ryosuke said, and there is sadness in his eyes.
“But when you said that I have a family, I have brothers, that makes me so happy. I really want to be with my brothers, but it’s sad that they can’t accept me..demo, although they can’t accept me, I really want to do something for them. I want to give my love toward them. With give my love toward them, I can feel that I loved too. I can feel loved that I am searching all this time. I can feel happiness with just give my love toward them. So, Yuto-kun, please don’t ask me to stop this.”
“But, Ryosuke, I am your cousin, and I am your family too.” Yuto said frustrated, and Ryosuke just smiled at that.
“Yes, Yuto-kun. You are my family too. But, I feel incomplete without give my love to my brothers. You know what I mean, deshou? So, please support me, Yuto-kun.” Ryosuke said. Yuto just staring at those brown eyes that looked so fragile, but in the same time strong with determined. Yuto just nod, looked at Ryosuke sadly. Second later the door knocked.
“Come in.” Yuto said, and Hikaru’s figure appeared from the doorway bring a trolley with a set of breakfast on top of it. He bowed slightly before he entered the room.
“Good morning, Yuto-sama, Ryosuke-sama. I bring breakfast and also medicine for Ryosuke-sama.” Hikaru said while smiling, and he put the trolley beside the bed.
“And, I will inform that Kota-sama want to come here to meet you before he’s going to office. He will come a moment later.” Hikaru said again. Frowning, Ryosuke just nod, and with that Hikaru left the room after give a slight bow.
“Why Kota-nii want to meet me? I think that my brothers doesn’t want to see me again because our agreement.” Ryosuke said, and his frown go deeper.
“Don’t think about that Ryosuke. Let’s eat for now, so you can drink your medicine.” Yuto said makes the younger pouted when sees the plain porridge and the medicine.
“Honestly, I don’t want to eat that.” Ryosuke pouted, make Yuto chuckled.
“But, you need to, if you want to recover fastly.” Yuto said, and then Ryosuke just obey. Yuto started to help Ryosuke to eat and drink the medicine. It’s a while later when Ryosuke finished his breakfast, and Kota entering his room.
“What do you want again, Kota?” Yuto said angry, and Ryosuke just hold Yuto so he won’t to punch his brothers.
“Can you at least calm down, Yuto? I am here not want to start a war with you.” Kota said calmly.
“If that so, then makes your business with Ryosuke finished quickly. I don’t want you near him, even you’re his brother.” Yuto said. Kota just silence, and he approached the bed. He is staring at Ryosuke for a moment, before he started to talk.
“I had discussed it with Yuya and Daiki, and we decided to give you a chance, shortie.” Kota said, and that makes Ryosuke’s pale face brightened. “But, that doesn’t mean we accept you easily. We just give you a chance to continued your challenge become our butler. We do this because we don’t want to have a debt to you, because you found our necklaces.” Kota said coldly.
“You can rest for a few days, but after that you must come back doing your duty. We are kind enough to do this to you, so I hope you won’t disappoint us.” He continued. After that Kota left the room.
Yuto looked at Ryosuke. The younger boy’s face already brightened and he is smiling happily. Second later he smiled widely toward the older guy.
“Yuto-kun, I can’t believe this! My brothers give me a chance!” Ryosuke beamed happily.
“I will do my best for my brothers, until they can accept me.” Ryosuke said, his eyes full of happiness. At first Yuto want to reject it, and makes Ryosuke stop his butler-duty toward his cousins, but seeing Ryosuke’s happiness likes this he doesn’t have a heart to tell Ryosuke to reject it. So, he just smiling to reply the excited boy.
“I know, I know Ryosuke. But now, you need to rest. You must recover to do your duty. Okay?” Yuto said and Ryosuke nodded. He help Ryosuke to lay down again and tuck the blanket. Yuto caressed Ryosuke’s hair until the brown hair boy fell asleep. He is staring at the angelic face in front of him, and patted his head for awhile.
“I always wish all the best for you, Ryosuke.” he said lowly and then left the room.

“Yuto-sama, just stop this. We need to take care of Ryosuke-sama now.” Inoo said calmly, and that makes Yuto remember about Ryosuke. He calmed himself down and looked at Kota, Yuya, and Daiki sharply.
“I will deal with you later!” he said and then rush toward Ryosuke.
“Just bring him to the guest room now.” Hikaru said and together with Keito, Yuto carried Ryosuke’s limp body to the room while Inoo helped with call the doctor.

“How is he?” Keito ask the lanky figure in front of him. Yuto just shook his head.
“He is still unconscious. His fever is down just for a bit.” Yuto replied while change the cloth in Ryosuke’s forehead.
“Kimura-sensei said that he is exhausted and not to forget he is staying under the rain for hours. That makes him fainted. Sensei said Ryosuke needs rest for few days.” Yuto explained again and Keito just nodded.
“Where is Chinen?” Yuto ask.
“He must go home. He insists to stay beside Ryosuke, but his mother call him so I told him I will call if something happen.” Keito said. Yuto just silence while he sweep the sweat from Ryosuke’s face.
“Yuto, I know that you are still angry toward your cousins. Honestly, I want to punch them too, because they make Ryosuke suffer like this but, you must understand Ryosuke’s feeling if you hurt them. Ryosuke really loves his brother, so he will be hurt if someone hurt his brothers.” Keito said. Yuto just nodded, and silence engulfed them again. After a while, then Keito decided to come back to his office.
“I let Ryosuke in your care. Call me immediately if something happen.” Keito said, then after a nod from Yuto, the older guy left the room.

Yuya is staring at the necklace in his palms. After Ryosuke collapsed, he took his necklace from Kota and cleaned it. He realized how he missed the necklace that given to him from his mother years ago. Then he is staring at the other necklace. That’s Ryosuke’s necklace. The necklace had fall from Ryosuke’s neck when the boy collapsed, and Yuya took it. Looking at it, bring a memories back to Yuya’s mind. Memories from years ago, when he still 12 years old.
***Yuya’s Flashback***
Chibi Yuya is sitting on one of the bench in the park. He walked aimlessly earlier and his feet bring him to this unknown park near an orphanage. He remembered when he decided to follow his brothers’ decision to throw the necklace that been given from his mother. Their mother told them to use that necklace every day, but his friends also both of Kota’s and Daiki’s friends mock them. They said it’s too girly for a boy to use a such necklace. So, because of embarrassment, Kota and Daiki decided to throw it in their garden. Being the obedient kid, so Yuya just followed his brothers’ action although he didn’t want to. He realized that Kota and Daiki just engulfed by their embarrassed feeling because of their friends, and Yuya is pretty sure Kota and Daiki will regret it later, but not like his brothers, Yuya is already regret it now.
Unconsciously, the tears already fallen from his eyes. “Gomen, okaa-san..” he muttered lowly while closed his eyes. He didn’t realized that someone already stand in front of him. When Yuya opened his eyes, he is a bit shocked because a pair of brown orbs eyeing him, looked interested. He looked at the shorter boy in front of him. The boy seems younger than him and his chubby cheeks makes him looked adorable.
“Ne~ Nii-chan, why are you crying?” The boy asked and his eyes sparkle, make him cuter than before. Yuya just smile and pat the space beside him, signaling the boy to sit beside him. The boy just obeyed, and sit beside Yuya.
“I am crying because I feel sad. I had thrown something precious to me that given from my mom, because of a silly reason.” Yuya said while wipe his tears. He doesn’t know why, but Yuya is so attached to the little boy beside him. Maybe because his smile, his chubby cheeks or his petite figure that makes him like that. He is already tell the boy why he was crying earlier. After he tells all his problems, he feels relieved. The boy just smiling, and that makes Yuya’s heart become warm for some reasons.
“Nii-chan~ you know, you are so lucky. From your story, I know that you have a good family. You have parents that really love you, and you have older and little brother that love you too. Although it’s sad that you throw the precious thing from your mother, but you still have her love toward you that more precious than that thing deshou?” The boy asked, and realization come to Yuya. Yes, he still has his mother’s love.
“You are so lucky than me, nii-chan. You still have your family, so you don’t need to regret anything, okay? So, cheer up.” The boy said while flashing his warm smile. Yuya frown hear the boy words, and the boy saw that.
“I am an orphan nii-chan. I live on that orphanage.” The boy said while pointing at the big building near them.
“My mother left me on that orphanage when I was born, because she doesn’t want me. Demo ne~ I still love her and search her. Demo..I found that she already passed away, and I found out the only thing that she inherited me is this necklace.” The boy said while showed Yuya a necklace with round pendant in it. The necklace is so beautiful and matched with the boy perfectly. Yuya doesn’t understand why the boy open up to him, but he find interesting to listening the story from the boy.
“Even without words, I know my mother love me. Maybe she regretted it when she left me, but it doesn’t matter anymore, because the important thing that I know, she loves me. She told it in the letter along with this necklace when I found out about her.” The boy said again, and he faces Yuya.
“So, nii-chan, even you regret it that you thrown that precious thing, but from now on, love your mother and your family more, so you won’t regret it later.” The boy said. Yuya just nodded, and smile toward the boy.
“Ah, wasureta! I must go back to orphanage now, or the caretaker will scold me again if I come back late.” The boy said while smile sheepishly. He stood up, and looked deeply at Yuya.
“Don’t cry again ne~ nii-chan.” He said, and then smile. Yuya nodded and wave toward the boy when the said boy leaving him. After sometime, Yuya decided to come back home.
“Ah, I forget ask his name.” Yuya muttered lowly and he thinks he will come back later to this place and meet with that wonderful boy again. But, when Yuya come back to that place, he never meet again with that boy.
***End of Flashback***
“So, Ryosuke, you are that boy ne~ I still remember your necklace after all.” Yuya said smiling, while starring at Ryosuke’s necklace.

Ryosuke opens his eyes slowly. He feels his head is heavy. He is trying to sit up, but a gentle hand then squeezed his body, to makes him lays back again. He looked at the figure, and find Yuto eyeing him with worried expression. “Yuto-kun..” Ryosuke said weakly.
“You shouldn’t get up yet. You need a rest, Ryosuke. You still have a fever.” Yuto said.
“How are you feeling? Is there anything you need?” Yuto ask then.
“I want to drink.” Ryosuke said softly, and Yuto get a glass of water on top of the drawer and assisted Ryosuke to drink the water. Ryosuke feel refresh when the liquid enters his body. Yuto collect the pillows under his back, and then lays him back down onto that pillow so he is now in half sitting position, and still with that worried expression plastered in Yuto’s face.
“Yuto-kun, what happened? Why I am here?” Ryosuke ask.
“You collapsed when you want to out from this house, so I brought you here. The doctor said you collapsed due to exhaustion, and not to forget you stayed under the rain for hours, so that’s why you collapsed and having a high fever.” Yuto explained, and Ryosuke just nodded.
“Gomen for make you worried.” The brown hair boy said, feeling guilty. Yuto just sighed, and second later he already brings the boy into his warm embrace. Ryosuke a bit startled by Yuto’s action, but he just keep silent and rested his head on Yuto’s chest.
“Please, Ryosuke. Stop this, you know that my mother and I are willingly to accept you. Please don’t make yourself suffer again.” Yuto said softly, while trying to hold his tears. He can’t see Ryosuke, his beloved cousin suffer like this. Worst, Ryosuke suffer because of his own brothers.
“Yuto-kun..” Ryosuke mumbled, and he returned the hug. They just keep like that for a few minutes, sharing warm in each other embrace until Yuto pulled himself from Ryosuke.
“Can you stop this, Ryosuke?” Yuto looked at Ryosuke with pleading eyes but the later just shook his head.
“I can’t Yuto-kun..You don’t understand. Since I was a kid, I always think, I shouldn’t be born. Because my own mother doesn’t want me and left me in orphanage. I feel nobody even my mother love me, so why I must born in this world?” Ryosuke said, and there is sadness in his eyes.
“But when you said that I have a family, I have brothers, that makes me so happy. I really want to be with my brothers, but it’s sad that they can’t accept me..demo, although they can’t accept me, I really want to do something for them. I want to give my love toward them. With give my love toward them, I can feel that I loved too. I can feel loved that I am searching all this time. I can feel happiness with just give my love toward them. So, Yuto-kun, please don’t ask me to stop this.”
“But, Ryosuke, I am your cousin, and I am your family too.” Yuto said frustrated, and Ryosuke just smiled at that.
“Yes, Yuto-kun. You are my family too. But, I feel incomplete without give my love to my brothers. You know what I mean, deshou? So, please support me, Yuto-kun.” Ryosuke said. Yuto just staring at those brown eyes that looked so fragile, but in the same time strong with determined. Yuto just nod, looked at Ryosuke sadly. Second later the door knocked.
“Come in.” Yuto said, and Hikaru’s figure appeared from the doorway bring a trolley with a set of breakfast on top of it. He bowed slightly before he entered the room.
“Good morning, Yuto-sama, Ryosuke-sama. I bring breakfast and also medicine for Ryosuke-sama.” Hikaru said while smiling, and he put the trolley beside the bed.
“And, I will inform that Kota-sama want to come here to meet you before he’s going to office. He will come a moment later.” Hikaru said again. Frowning, Ryosuke just nod, and with that Hikaru left the room after give a slight bow.
“Why Kota-nii want to meet me? I think that my brothers doesn’t want to see me again because our agreement.” Ryosuke said, and his frown go deeper.
“Don’t think about that Ryosuke. Let’s eat for now, so you can drink your medicine.” Yuto said makes the younger pouted when sees the plain porridge and the medicine.
“Honestly, I don’t want to eat that.” Ryosuke pouted, make Yuto chuckled.
“But, you need to, if you want to recover fastly.” Yuto said, and then Ryosuke just obey. Yuto started to help Ryosuke to eat and drink the medicine. It’s a while later when Ryosuke finished his breakfast, and Kota entering his room.
“What do you want again, Kota?” Yuto said angry, and Ryosuke just hold Yuto so he won’t to punch his brothers.
“Can you at least calm down, Yuto? I am here not want to start a war with you.” Kota said calmly.
“If that so, then makes your business with Ryosuke finished quickly. I don’t want you near him, even you’re his brother.” Yuto said. Kota just silence, and he approached the bed. He is staring at Ryosuke for a moment, before he started to talk.
“I had discussed it with Yuya and Daiki, and we decided to give you a chance, shortie.” Kota said, and that makes Ryosuke’s pale face brightened. “But, that doesn’t mean we accept you easily. We just give you a chance to continued your challenge become our butler. We do this because we don’t want to have a debt to you, because you found our necklaces.” Kota said coldly.
“You can rest for a few days, but after that you must come back doing your duty. We are kind enough to do this to you, so I hope you won’t disappoint us.” He continued. After that Kota left the room.
Yuto looked at Ryosuke. The younger boy’s face already brightened and he is smiling happily. Second later he smiled widely toward the older guy.
“Yuto-kun, I can’t believe this! My brothers give me a chance!” Ryosuke beamed happily.
“I will do my best for my brothers, until they can accept me.” Ryosuke said, his eyes full of happiness. At first Yuto want to reject it, and makes Ryosuke stop his butler-duty toward his cousins, but seeing Ryosuke’s happiness likes this he doesn’t have a heart to tell Ryosuke to reject it. So, he just smiling to reply the excited boy.
“I know, I know Ryosuke. But now, you need to rest. You must recover to do your duty. Okay?” Yuto said and Ryosuke nodded. He help Ryosuke to lay down again and tuck the blanket. Yuto caressed Ryosuke’s hair until the brown hair boy fell asleep. He is staring at the angelic face in front of him, and patted his head for awhile.
“I always wish all the best for you, Ryosuke.” he said lowly and then left the room.
