"Old man... why did end up here?" Karatsu asked when looking down at him.

"T-they just arrest me for no reaso---" He suddenly cough once again then Rin looks worried about her father.

"Dad.."

"Don't joking! I had no time for jokes. Just tell me. Why?" Karatsu shouted.

"Karatsu.. help me here. Bring me some snack as well." Katsu said.

"Just stay here! You give many problems to us! Stay away from us! Mom died because of you! and I will never forgive you about that!" Karatsu stands up and makes the chair falls to the ground.

"I see.. I heard.. Kisara is your Girlfriend. Can you introduced her to me? Since her father is my friend." His father smiled at him.

Karatsu and Kisara looks each other. They're blushing and start looking at the sky. The fireworks started. The other members of Scarlet Dream goes on the rooftop to watch the fireworks.

"Hey.. Hey.. Karatsu?" Hidashi said while looking at him.

"You having a private conversation with Kisara. Haha good job." Ishida added.

"By the way, where's rin?" Karatsu asked.

"Someone calls her and she said it was a emergency." Yukina replied.

"That's why we are here. We need to tell you on what happen to your father. It's sad to say that your father passed away this time." Tetsu explained.

"What!? Old man.. is dead..?"

"I'm sad for you.. Karatsu" Fumi looks down then bows at him.

Karatsu's reaction has mixed. Sadness, Shocked and Joy. The other members are shocked as well including Kisara.

"Ka-chan.."

"I think he never survived. He has Brain Cancer. I never noticed it before. The doctors told me about it. He kept it a secret from you and rin so they won't worried about him. Karats----" Tetsu suddenly stops when he saw Karatsu's tears falls on the ground.

"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted.

"But.. Dad.?"

"Don't.. Kisara. I know it's hurt for him to lose his father. He shouldn't run away."

"Is Karatsu will be okay?" Yukihara asked.

"I hope he will be fine" Ayami said.

Hidashi tries not to cry but he didn't endure it.

"Karatsu.." Yukina said then leaves the rooftop as well.

"Ishida.." Fumi hugs his shoulder then cries.

------------------------

At Aunt Miyu's house.

Karatsu locked his room and sits on his bed. He looks disappointed, angry and sad. He never realized that his father hide something from them. He let his father died alone without taking care of him.

"Karatsu. please open the door. You need to eat your breakfast." Aunt Miyu tries to convinced him.

Karatsu ignored her. He let himself slept covering his ears using pillows. Rin arrives she put a letter on his bag and left the house again. She felt loneliness since her parents gone.

"What should i do..?" She asked herself.

[January 2. Morning]

Karatsu goes out from his room. He take his phone and goes outside.

"An-chan.. where are you going?"

"It's none of your business! Get out of my way!"

"No! Dad said that i should take care of you."

"Tsk! I can take care of myself. Let's make it clear now, Rin. Our Obaasan Grandmother) wants to separate us and i'm going our province to take care of something. I think it's time to separate." Karatsu said.

"No! No! Please No! An-chan!" Rin replied.

"It's my decision Rin."

"I will follow you! I want to stay in your side"

"Stay? The truth is you're annoying! I hate seeing you. Stop calling me "An-chan"! It's kinda annoying! You're just a nuisance!" He angrily said.

"... I hate you!!!! Coward! Idiot! You keep running away from your problems!!! You're sensitive! You don't even care about Dad! Our previous club! You're selfish! Shizuka hates you. Ruka does! I hate you! I REALLY HATE YOU! You're bad!! An-ch--" Rin stops on talking when Karatsu slaps her right into her face.

"An-chan.."

"Yeah. I'm coward. I'm loser. That's why i don deserve anything. Rin.. please forgot that i'm your brother. Stop talking with me." Karatsu leaves the house and leave Rin behind, sitting on the ground and crying.

Yukina watched everything so she approaches and help her.

[Rin's POV]

An-chan has changed.. Everything happens on our life. We lost our parents and i lost my only brother. I don't know what i'm going to do. An-chan hates me now.. I think he will do the same thing that everyone did on Game Club. He will leave the club and never comeback.

A white haired girl knocks on the door. She was holding her bag and phone.

"Laura.. is that you?" Aunt Miyu asked.

"It's been a while, Auntie!" (Laura Kirigaya, Karatsu and Rin's Big sister)

"How are you?"

"I'm a bit fine."
