Chapter 1: Confusion and a Fond Memory.

A hazy morning and cool breeze.

The person on his cloud like soft bed stirred in his sleep as the morning sunshine seeped in from the cracks of the semi opened windows and shone on him.

.

"Umm.~~"

.

There was a king-size low bed covered in Aegean color silk. And the eyelashes of the person sleeping on it fluttered like butterfly wings.

Slowly and in a daze the person sat up on the bed trying to wake but struggled. Finally, after what seemed like a while he opened his eyes and staggered towards the bathroom.

.

"Ugh...~ it seems like yesterday I drank too much!"

.

Whining groggily he splashed his face with cold water. Lifting his eyes, when he saw the reflection in the mirror in front of him, he stilled frozen.

.

"W.WHA- T.t.this is me?!!!"

.

He touched his face that was familiar yet stranger. His features same but with a tint of uncanny mixture of softness and sharpness.

His mind was a mess. Body still frozen due to shock, yet his brain panicked and chaotic. There was no explanation of how he was here? Or What's happening right now?

His mind was flooded with questions like,

where was this? Why did he find this surrounding so familiar despite being stranger here? What about his real body?

What about his brother?

*"Wait- brother? That novel!!! It was the same as written in that novel. This face, this room, it's no wonder I found it familiar."*

He thought looking at his now reflection different from his original face.

*"Damn how did I even end up here?!!"*

*"Well, I was only a student working to support my brother and myself originally. We only had each other. I don't know how he will be? He might get lonely, my brother."*

The more he thought, the more he was annoyed and frustrated. After a few minutes of gathering his thoughts he composed himself.

As he went towards the wardrobe to get dressed he was reminded of his original world.

.

.

*Original world*...

A morning sun shone softly it's rays passing through the curtains and reflecting a golden hue on a face of a person sleeping making him stir in his sleep…

.

And with morning came a knock slow at first, yet when no one answered the door creaked open with a head full of soft fluffy hairs peeking inside.

.

The person who peeked in saw the sleeping figure on the bed and walked inside with the intention to wake up the sleeping beauty.

.

.

The room was nature themed with two windows, one a French window and a normal small one. There was a decent spaced balcony with a round coffee table and two chairs beyond the French window that was currently covered in roller blinds. The small casement window on the other side was semi opened leaking the soft sunshine of morning sun. Under the casement window was a classic study table made of natural oak wood desk with white marble top. The study table was decorated with a smoke black Multipurpose Acrylic Office Desk Pen Stand for study materials on the middle touching the wall on the left side of it was ash color photo frame which held a photo of two young teens, standing side by side holding each other's shoulder and smiling showing their white pearl like teeth, two thick books lying horizontally in front of the photo frame, a water bottle at the very end of the right side, and in the middle of the table right in front of the pen stand was a book. To be precise a thick novel, which was seemingly a prototype/preprint. The cover was still unfinished yet at the footing was the credit for author with the author's name and Signature. The name read Elliot

.

.

.

Someone: "Hey, Adam! Get up!! Today's my Parent-Teacher meeting!! We'll be late because of you!"

Adam: "How noisy... Elliot, Can't you keep your voice down? It's giving me a headache early in the morning."

Elliot: "What? You think I can wake you up if I kept my voice down? Who told you to drink? It's not like you'll be paid a hefty reward for your extra service…"

Adam slowly propped his body up leaning against the headboard of the bed. He spoke in a groggy and coaxing voice.

Adam: "Don't be angry.~~ even if it's not much, but it's still extra money."

Elliot: "Just wait for my novel to be published. I am going to be rich and buy that damn bar. Then you wouldn't be forced to drink for that meager penny."

Elliot with his soft fluffy light brown hairs that fell perfectly on his forehead adorning it as they shone golden with morning sunshine reflecting them spoke puffing his pale cheeks which were tinted pink by all the morning activity...

.

.

Adam spoke while rising in his bed and rubbing his throbbing temples...

"Hah~~> What are you doing here early in the morning ? And what do you mean you'll buy the bar ? Don't you dare waste your hard-earned money on such wasteful things !"

.

.

Hearing what his brother said made Elliot displeased as his brother called Elliot spending his money for his own brother whom he regards as precious as waste of money...

Elliot shot a glare in his brother's way and spoke in a voice teemed with displeasure.

.

"Brother... No matter how much and whenever I have to, it will never be a waste to spend my money for you. I know you have best of my interest in your mind but never ever deem yourself any less precious. You are the most precious and beloved person for my entire life."

.

.

Stunned by his brother's sudden declaration Adam was momentarily stunned. By the time he regained his focus, he gently and lovingly patted Elliot's his baby brother's head stroking his hairs with tenderness..
