"Nii-chan! You're gonna be the number one striker while I'm second! I'm so excited for it to happen!"
Little Rin hugged his older brothers hand with a huge smile on formed on his face.
He was rewarded with a pat on the head and a graceful smile from his brother,
"Of course we're gonna be the best together. That's a promise that I'll never break."
Sae ruffled Rin's hair and beamed out a huge smile.
The two laughed and swayed back and forth while hugging each other.
"Do you really have to go, Nii-chan?"
A few tears gather in his eyes but they do not shed.
He watches as his brother slowly walk away from him, but before fully disappearing — he turned around,
"Don't worry about me, Rin! I'll be the best when i come back."
Sae gave him one last smile before turning his back from him while dragging his red suitcase.
Rin finally let the tears shed as his brother disappears. He gripped his hands together while trying not to cry even more.
A figure watches them from afar.
A tear drops from beautiful eyes.
He wiped them away even though the tears kept coming back.
He can't help it.
After all, Sae broke his promise.
And left him.
All alone.
And always the fool.
