Fluke open his eyes when the cold breeze hit his body and goosebumps started to form in his arms.

His hand went inside the pocket and take out his phone. He tried to turn on his phone but the charge was already drained.

Its already dark. Zhan ge must be worried to sick for not finding me in home" he thought to himself getting up and ready to leave the tree house.

Moon and stars were hiding behind the dark cloud.

"Looks like its gonna rain soon" he mumble and climb down the ladders of the tree house then suddenly he heard a voice.

Fluke fluke!" the voice was distant but he could hear someone calling his name.

Where are you? Fluke! " where are you? "the voice is coming near and near. He then recognise the owner of the voice.

Wang ge!" the called for the owner of voice.

Fluke! " yibo rushed when he heard fluke call him

Wang ge!"

F_fluke! " he fell on the ground and trying to catch some breath.

Wang ge, what happened? Why are you running" fluke asked worriedly helping him back on his feet.

Fluke z_zhan ge! Ge h_he!" yibo stuttered.

Gege what wang ge?"

We don't have much time. Let's go fluke" he finally said.

What's going on ge?"

Yibo hopped on his bike giving the spare helmet to fluke. Then he started the engine and rode it as fast as he could.

He stooped the engine not too close too Fluke's house.

Why did you stop here ge" fluke asked totally confused when yibo stop his bike not even near his house. In fact he stopped it near a bus stop.

No time to argue fluke. Let's go" he said and grab his hands making him to stumble a little because of sudden pull.

Fluke didn't protest afterwards and quietly followed him. They reach in front of his house. There were cars and some men in black flocking around his house. Yibo hurriedly pull fluke behind the bushes. Fluke confused look at yibo and then his front.

Why are there so many people around my house? "he asked to yibo who was trying to calm himself.

Yibo place his right palm on Fluke's mouth and placed his index finger in his own mouth and said "Shhh! Keep your voice low. They might hear us"

Did you hear any news about that kid" one of the black suit man asked another guy.

Not yet but we'll get it soon" another guy said.

Sir what do we do about the guy inside" another guy walk into their cubicle and asked.

We'll wait for boss's order" the first guy replied.

Ge! What's going on here and who are these men? "

I don't know fluke but only thing I know is zhan ge can take care of them." he said.

WHAT!" he suddenly yelled and fastly covered is mouth with his hands.

Fluke please don't raise your voice right now!" Yibo pleaded.

Wang ge please tell me what's going on here and why zhan ge is in there and mom.... Mom where is she?" fluke asked keeping his voice as low as possible.

A_aunt"

Mom what ge? "

Aunt is no more and the people there" he said pointing towards the men in black suit "they killed aunt and zhan ge is with them trapped now"

His eyes widened when he heard his mother was murdered.

No no no" this can't be true ge. Tell me you're joking. Tell me that this is just a game that you and zhan ge playing with me. Zhan ge wants to

It's true fluke. Please believe me it's tr.... " he was cut in middle when they heard another guy marching to the group of three men.

Boss, big boss ordered to kill that guy since he's no use for us"

It felt like a bucket of ice cold water poured on fluke and Yibo. They both stay still couldn't mode even an inch of their muscle after they heard the guy.

Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sound of bullet came out loud. Both the boys flinched when they heard the sound. Fluke immediately got up to get inside the house but pulled back by yibo. "don't fluke" he pleaded hugging fluke tightly from back.

Just Let me go" fluke keep struggling but the taller guy denies to let go.

Let me go. Please ge let me go" he cried still struggling but Yibo tightened his hold on fluke.

fluke felt tired of struggling, the taller man won't let him go. Fluke tuck his head on the brod chest of Yibo and sob.

After some time, The men came out of the house and flee with their cars.

Then both the guys taking the opportunity to get inside the house.

They went in but welcomed by the messed up house. Everything broken.

Mom zhan ge" fluke shouted when didn't see his mother and brother.

"Fluke you help me to deliver these lunch boxes to Xiao ge's shop" a young man of his late 20s walk out of the kitchen holding a paper bag.

Yes! Sure Yi ge. I'll clean up these first then I'll get changed." fluke replied who was busy keeping the dirty plates on the tray. He walked into the kitchen, place the dirty plates in the sink and wash his hands. Wiping his hands with the hemp of the apron he's wearing, he marches to the changing room.

Wait fluke" he follows the small boy into the changing room where the boy is changing his clothes. "Here" he shyly handed him a flowery yellow envelope sticked with a heart shaped sticker.

Hoii! "fluke exclaim with a teasing smirk before he could even utter another word the older one smack him. On his head.

Shut up and don't say a word"

That hurts you know" he rolled his eyes rubbing his head.

You asked for it" Yi crossed his arms on his chest.

Fluke roll his eyes and continue to change his clothes and took the envelope from Yi ge's hand.

"And I'll make sure he gets it" he winked before leaving the young man in the changing room with a red face.

"Ge ge " fluke calls earning some more attention from the customers.

Sorry hehe! "he lowered his head in embarrassment and stood beside his ge.

" Fluke you're here" with his eyes still on the screen making the paycheck of the following customer.

You're total would be ¥375"

Thank you" the customer said.

You're welcome and happy shopping " he said with a big smile plastered on his lips showing his bunny teeth.

"I think you're busy. I'll sit in that corner for you"

Zhan nodded and continued with his work.

It was a little busy in shop as there were many customers and his gege busy himself in the cash counter.

Fluke yawned for nth times. He takes a glance at his gege who's still busy with the customers. So he stood up from his place and stand to his btothers side.

"Gege, do you need any help? " fluke ask in a low voice but loud enough to be heard by the customer who was lined in front.

" You go back and sit there. I can handle it" zhan says a cold voice and his eyes still locked on the screen.

"But gege it's boring sitting all by myself! " fluke whined.

He let's out a sigh.

" Okay, but your are only allowed to put these goods in the bags" he said giving in to himself.

AI AI captain" fluke said with salutation and show his perfectly white teeth which only led to earn a light smack on his shoulder from his gege. The attendees at the counter chuckle at the cuteness shown by the little one.

"And please don't mess up with goods"

"Okay" with a okay sign and starts to put the good in the bags.

"Finally" fluke takes a deep breath and let it out when there's no more customer.

He walks to his brother who's already seated on the table.

"Here! " he gives the paper bag to his brother.

" Wang ge made your favourite food" he said and also handed him the envelope.

"What! Not again" Zhan frowns seeing the envelope that he received for nth time.

"You should give him a proper answer gege" fluke said taking out the lunch box from the bag and place it on the table.

What do I need to answer"

"This" fluke said pointing to the envelope before rolling his eyes.

"I don't like him so I don't need to answer him or anything " Zhan declare before shoving the food in his mouth. The taste hit his taste bud and forms a small smile but tries to hide it from fluke by loading more good in his mouth.

" But you still eat the food Wang ge made and enjoy it till the end" fluke rolled his eyes and munch the sushi roll.

Zhan choked on the food and grabs the water to drink. Zhan was taken a little back when his small brother said about the food prepared by Yibo.

I know you like him too and should tell him soon"

Zhan eats the lunch nit replying to what Fluke said.

"There's this awkward silence for a moment.

"Fluke/Gege" both says in unison which earn a small laughter from both.

"Fluke I'll come home a little late" zhan said

But you promised to have dinner together"

"I am sorry fluke but I got call from the factory site.

"Why? " fluke asked

It's dad. He asked me to help him in the factory"

He didn't asked for help but to trouble you so he can have his time to get drunk"he raised his voice.

"Fluke"

He always does something like this. Always getting drunk, beating up mom and you, getting into troubles and make you to fill up his shits" fluke wipe his tears and start to run from there.

"Fluke!"

"Fluke listen to_" he didn't get to finish his sentence when fluke already went out of the shop.

"I am sorry fluke" he mutter to himself before picking up the boxes and throws it in the trash can.

Fluke ran as fast as he could wiping his tears not minding even bumping into people in road. He run and run until he reach the forest. There he stops at the big tree and on top it is a small tree house. He climbs up the ladder and walks into the house.

It's a small house and inside he have kept some of his precious stuffs. He found it when he was twelve. Since then he made it his secret place. He comes to this tree house whenever he feels low or frustrated. He goes here to relieve his frustration.

He sit by the small window, hugging his knees closure to his chest, tuck the chins on top of his arms, watching the sun ready to hide behind the green hill spreading the red rays.

"I hate you gege" he murmur slowing closing his eyes.

It took me long than what I thought" zhan heave a sigh walking down the street after working in the factory.

It's the new ice cream parlour Let's take some durian flavour for fluke. He'll still be mad at me but I know how to coo him" he thouth to himself and without wasting his time he walk inside the ice cream shop.

"How can I help you sir" a young girl at the counter ask him.

"Can I have a medium size bucket of durian ice cream with some choco chips on the top"

"Yes sure. Please wait a moment sir"

"Okay! " Zhan said and went to a table beside the window.

He explore his eyes around the shop. It was a nice place painted with pink and blue. I should bring fluke here someday. He'll love this place" he thought to himself. He was lost in his thought that he didn't realise the counter girl tap on his shoulder.

"Sir" she called once again. Zhan snap out of his thought and brought back to reality.

"Oh sorry" he rub the back side of this head with a tint of red shade on his cheek. He was embarrassed.

"Your order is ready sir" she said and went back to the counter.

Zhan followed her to the counter. "How much is it"

"165 ¥ sir" she replied.

"Thank you so much" zhan said grabbing the paper bag from her.

"Your welcome sir. Hope to see you soon" she said with a beaming smile showing her perfect white teeth.

He took the bag and went out from the shop hidi g his small smile that formed thinking about how fluke will react for getting his favourite ice cream.

He finally reach his home after walking for a good 15 minutes. He saw that lights are on inside his house.

Mom and fluke must be still awake" he thought to himself and walked.

He get the keys from his pocket and unlock the door. As soon as he went inside, he dropped the paper bag on floor looking at the view in front of him. The chairs and tables broken, glass table smashed and pieces were scattered everywhere. It was like a thief broke into the house.

Uh.. "he heard a soft moan of someone like that person in pain.

He followed the sound and went into the his parents bedroom. Upon opening the door of the room, Zhan's eyes went wide open.

His mom was drowned in her own blood pool, with her one hand on the stomach from where blood was coming.

Mom" Zhan screamed and knelt in front of his mother, picking up her limping body and slowly put her head on his lap.

Mom mom! " he keep shouting

Mom open your eyes.

Please mom open your eyes" he pleaded.

"Cough cough" his mom coughed out some blood.

Mom, what happened here and Who did this to you? "

" Fluke, Fluke" she began to chant Fluke's name.

"Fl_fluke!" his eyes widened and start to explore his eyes to search for fluke.

"What happened to him and where is he mom?" he asked

H_he has_hasn't come home. F_find fluke and p_protect him"

His eyes widened when he heard

"Save Fluke xiao xiao"

I'll take you to hospital first" Zhan said trying to pick her up but stopped when his mother abruptly hold his hand and shake her head to say no.

Mom, you need medical treatment"

"N_no! Cough cough"

Mom" he screamed seeing blood cough again

"Save Fluke. Y_you need to save him from them"

Them? Them who mom? " Zhan asked with confusion not understanding what his mother trying to say.

F_Fluke's Fluke's" she collapse not even completing what she trying to say.

Zhan panicked not knowing what to do. He take out his phone and search for a contact.

Hello? "

Hello Yibo, where is fluke?"

I was going to ask you where is he. He went to your shop during lunch time but he never return. Where are you now?
