“I understand that you want to care for me but there's no need for you to do this!”

“Why? Can't you just trust me? I won't hurt you hehehe~”

“You do remember you have several offenses right? So I refuse to trust you with this li'l sis... Just leave doing this to mom.”

“Is that what you're hoping for kuya? Chichichichi. Pitiful. Very pitiful kuya Mark.”

“Why do you look so smug? What did you orchestrated this time?”

“Mommy will not be coming today chichichichiii~” She looks so proud saying that.

“Why's that?”

“Mommy will go on a date with daddy— Maybe they are already doing so by now.”

“I infer you have hands on this.”

“Chichi. You're not as dumb as I thought. Yes! I did. Mommy actually doesn't want to leave you alone. But I managed to convince her somehow. Don't forget daddy is leaving today.”

Uwaahh.. That's right. Yet he didn't even bother to call me at all.

“But there's no way mom will just give up knowing her overprotectiveness.”

“You're not the only child mommy loves kuya Mark. Although it is true she is very protective it sometimes pisses me off. Let me inform you how stubborn she was saying how she needs to take care of you PERSONALLY. But ‘I’— your precious little sister, convinced her. So let's begin yaaay!” She pounces on me.

Oh hell bloody hell!

“Wait! It's too early for that— Later later. We'll do it later! Help me clean myself first. Let's clean my wounds later alright?”

“Hmmmmmmmm... Fine hehehe.”

Fuuuu~ That was close. She's really excited about this. I will ask Lucy to clean my wounds after Crystal left.

“I will be staying here.”

—?!

“But it's Sunday. Don't you wanna have fun with your friends?”

“I don't care about them. It's more fun to be here. I will be staying with you! In fact, I will sleep on this very same bed. Don't you want your little sister to warm your bed for you?”

“No. Just leav—”

“Nooooo! Shut up! I will stay and I will CLEAN your wound. If you're expecting Lucy to do it, too bad. Mommy doesn't want that!”

Why did you have to emphasize ‘cleaning’?!

No! I don't want you. I prefer my lovely nurse!

“Lucy is a professionally trained nurse so—”

“I know but mommy is very overprotective and you know that. She doesn't want to leave stuffs that put our lives on the line to just anyone. Unless she can't do it herself, she rather take up the task. But.... I am your little sister and mommy knows I love you a lot as well... She trusts me and she knows I am knowledgeable enough chichichi.”

Well she has a point. But I disagree about your statement about loving me. Or at least I'm not fully convinced.

“Chichichichi... Just surrender to me kuya Mark hehehehehe~”

“No way! I can still vividly remember the time you poured a whole bottle of alcohol onto an open wound. It was extremely painful.”

“It was in the past. I'm sensible now.”

Liar!

“Still a no—!”

*Swooosh~!*

“Hehe. Kuya Mark, if you don't stop being so stubborn, I will stab you...”

Scary... She's pointing that sharp fork against my eyes again. And she looks really scary. Your bloodlust is leaking li'l sis.

Whatever. I'll just bite the bullet.

“Alright fine. I'll trust you again this time. This will be your last chance alright? Make any funny move and I will never allow you to mend on me ever again.”

“Hehehehe~ Yaaaaaaaay!! Thank you kuya Mark hehe.”

You're not very welcome fufufuuu~

“For now, before your nurse come back, let's wipe you with a wet sponge cloth first.”

“Please be gentle my beloved li'l sis.”

“I will hehehehe.”

I still don't trust you after all...

—20 minutes later.

Crystal cleaned me. She gave me a sponge bath. Right after she was about to finish, Lucy came back with a new set of hospital clothes. She also administered me my dose of medicines.

And now I'm snuggling with my little sister playing a game with her. I'm supposed to be sleeping but she forced me to play Minecraft with her. She even brought me my laptop.

“Li'l sis, can you please get off me now? You're putting too much pressure on my chest. I have a fresh wound over there you know.” It stings.

She's been lying on me for hours. I am actually starting to feel numb.

“Are you saying I'm heavy?” She's glaring at me. She looks even more fierce in this top view angle.

“I didn't say that— Argh!” She pressed my wound with the back of her head.

I thought you love me!

“Am I heavy?”

It feels like something similar already happened before.

“...You're very light...”

“Hehehehehe. I got praised... Thank you kuya Mark!” She looks so happy. Oh hell. So cruel... So sadistic. So why does she has to be so bloody adorable?!

“Of course of course. Can I sleep now?”

“No.”

“Err.. Why?”

“I still have to clean your wound. And it's already past six P.M.” She says as she kills my Minecraft avatar.

“Stop ambushing me. I just wanna build a fancy house. I have a lot of redstone contraptions I'd like to try— Agh. Stop killing me— Hell! My items!” She lured a creeper towards my storage unit and made it explode by sacrificing herself.

“Chihahaha..!” She's enjoying this.

But she'll be more delighted when it's time to clean my wounds. I'm kinda anxious my stomach is hurting.

*Grooowl~*

“Oh. I'm just hungry.”

“Wanna eat?”

“You brought dinner as well?”

“Only viand. We still need rice.”

“What did you cook?”

“Hehe. You wanna know? Kill me at least once in this ga— ah.” I shot her with an enchanted bow I hid which I got from a monster. The knockback push her off the cliff hence dying.

“So what is it?”

“......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................”

Crystal is just looking at me dead in the eye without blinking. She is also not showing any signs of emotional responses. She's just really looking at me unblinkingly.

I stepped on a landmine I see.

“Hehe. I cooked menudo just for you.” She looks so angelic. So innocent. So sweet. So wholesome.

I'm terrified.

“G-Great. Vegetables for lunch, meat for dinner. I like it li'l sis! I am so lucky to have you.” My wound stings.

“Kyaaaaaahh... That makes me blush! Kuya Mark, there's no need to thank me. Your beloved li'l sis loves taking CAAAARE of you... hehehehehe..” She is acting rather hearty. It's horrifying for me though. And why the emphasis for ‘care’?

I'm starting to truly feel scared.

“Well, I guess you should eat now. I'll give you another sponge bath afterwards.” She sits up straight. She then deleted that Minecraft world.

“Uh sure.”

“Ma'am, here's the rice you requested.”

There's someone outside. A school staff I presume.

“Yes thank you po.” Crystal greeted him happily while taking the tray from his hand.

“Well then say ‘ahh~’”

Afterwards, she sat by my side to feed me a spoonful of steamy hot white rice with some menudo meat on top of it.

“Ahh— ump.”

She's not acting any strange. She is really just being sweet. Very very cordial and sincere.

No, this is what's strange. Because.... Oh. Well well well... I see I see~ That's right. Revenge is best served cold after all.

“Here you go~ Another one hehe...”

“Ump..”

Somebody save me...

“...Yaaaaay! Now you're all cleaned again!”

Crystal just finished giving me a sponge bath.

“Thank you. I think I'll be sleeping early tonight.”

“Ohhh... heeheehee. You're so silly kuya Mark.” She stands up tilting her head to the side.

“We still have to CLEEEEEEAN your wounds you know?” She said that in whispers.

She's finally showing her true face. Because she's standing up looking down at me, her face is darkened. It's also cold because of the air-conditioning in my room.

With her chilling voice, I feel really threatened.

“Good timing Lucy.” I slipped that out of my mind.

“Mr. Reverren, I'm here to give you your medicine.” Lucy walks inside carrying a medical kit with her.

“Good evening po nurse Lucy.” Crystal politely welcomed Lucy.

“Good evening as well Ms. Crystal. I brought everything you asked for.”

“Thank you po. I can finally start CLEANING my kuya Mark's wound hehe.”

Stop being so cheery about it.

“Uh ma'am.”

“Hm?”

“Err... I heard from your mother that you are trained for something like this so I am not really worried... But are you sure po that your brother doesn't need an analgesic? I believe it will hurt him even if you're so gentle doing it. Your mother was always wanting to use a painkiller when cleaning his wounds even though he was in coma so—”

“It's fine it's fine.”

Lucy is sincerely worried about me but this li'l sis of mine is so indifferent about my pain.

“Kuya Mark has to remember this pain in order for him to be more cautious in the future. And I know he agrees with me about this. Riiiight~ kuya Mark?” Your purple eyes are scary.

“She's right Lucy. I'll be fine.”

“Really po sir?” She seems sceptical.

“Yes. Don't worry fufufu.”

“Uhm okay?”

I didn't agree with Crystal because I'm afraid of her but because I agree with her statement. I must imprint the pain in my mind in order for me to improve my reflexes and cautiousness.

In a sense, it's a form of training.

“Yay! Nurse Lucy, please administer his doses now.”

“Yes po.” Lucy gives me some pills. I drink them all in one gulp.

“Hehe. Kuya, we should begin.”

Hey my beloved li'l sis, your eyes are really scary!
