Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: Psycho

Rami was running fast, almost flying as he hops from branches to branches in the depth of a forest as he was currently chasing after a man. Which unfortunately escaped from him when he was temporarily distracted.

Distracted with—-- food.

Fine, Rami is guilty about it but he can't stop himself since he really loved his food and is a real foodie.

"This is getting out of hand. " Rami said to himself while sighing. 

Rami quickened his pace more to chase the man. Then soon, he finally caught the said man.

"No, no, I was wrong. Don't hurt me!!" The man shouted. Kneeling, crying and begging furiously. Scratches all over his body. His clothes, ripped.

"Just because you beg, you think I will spare you?" Rami snorted to the man as he rolled his eyes. 

Without further ado, he neatly cut the man's head with speed that wasn't ordinary. Not even the man who was beheaded felt it. As the head fell slowly and rolled into the ground, the blood squirted with full swing, staining the ground as well as Rami. 

With the droplets of Blood drops on Rami's cheek, which only emphasizes his fair and white cheek fairly. His eyes morphed with excitement. He looks like a demon now.

An evil smirk quietly formed in Rami's face— even Rami didn't even notice it—- raising his hand up high. Feeling the blood that's falling from air, making it looks like it's raining, but in this case, a blood rain.

Mint uttered a small chuckle, enjoying the moment, making him look like a psycho.

A real psycho now, because in fact Rami knew he was kind of weird.

Rami has no mercy. He already knows it personally as he noticed it from his very young age. He wouldn't even spare a family member if they do something that is out of his bottom line, making them fear him most. But of course , his eldest brother is worse than him. No one will beat his awesome eldest brother.

After a while, Rami's phone vibrated. 

Without looking who the caller is, Rami answered it nonchalantly 'causing him to wince slightly because he regretted it big time. Because he didn't want to hear anything from them right now. 

Don't get him wrong, he loves them, even if— they don't.

"Are you done?" asked the caller rather coldly, Rami might say.

Not knowing whether to answer it politely or not, he consciously answered arrogantly, "Of course, what do you think of me? " 

Rami realized how he answered and was about to explain but then he was cut off.

"You're being arrogant again little boy, stop that while you still can. This act of yours will surely put you in a more dire situation one day. Anyways, go home as soon as possible. STRAIGHT, okay?" The caller snorted with annoyance. By that, the man ended the call not even giving Rami a chance to retort nor explain.

Rami slowly puts down his hand which holds his phone. 

He silently calms his heart down. 

The enjoyment that he was feeling before was already changed with a little bit of sadness.

He was wrong, Rami knows it. He really knows.

Seeing that he was only the son of his dad's one-night stand accidentally which was orchestrated with an evil woman before— even though his dad already had his loving wife and three sons— he was doomed to have this kind of situation all the time. The situation of being despised, looked down on and hated regarding his efforts to become both a good step son and a step brother for them.

Slowly walking through his car, Rami continuously calms his self-down. Trying hard to just ignore everything and forget the past.

As soon as Rami reached his car. He drove it like a mad man through what he called a 'home'. He really can't feel it because all the time, he felt like an outsider in that home. Only seeing their actions and gestures towards him, as part of their duty. Feelings you say? None of it.

When Rami was already in front of the Deveraux household. He first pats his chest lightly and consoled himself before he reaches for the door to enter.

"You can do it Rami!!" He silently consoled and cheered himself.

With a loud bang, Rami shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'M HOOOOOOMMMEEEE!!" 

"RAMI ASHERA DEVERAUX, SHUT YOUR MOUTH THE FUCKING HELL UP!!! YOUR SO NOISY!!!" shouted back by the voice of a man irritatingly.

'Oh! That's Red's voice.' Hearing the voice, Rami knew who it was.

Rami wondered his vision till he found him, Red, one of his elder brothers. So long Rami finally saw where Red's at, he couldn't help himself back and cursed silently. 

Red is lying in a serpentine sofa that was placed in the wide living room of their house. Sleeping and now, just woke up.

Looks like he woke that moron when he shouted a while ago. 

Rami can't help but to complain internally, here he was, just come back from a freaking mission while this moron just sleeps and lazes all day. 

Life is really unfair. 

Rami always knows that.

"You're sleeping again?" Rami playfully hissed at Red.

"So? That's none of your business. Just go wash your body and change your clothes. You stink." Red harshly scolded back.

Ouch.

Rami smiled forcefully, hiding his pain.

"Whatever you say, jerk." Rami said to him, playfully kicking the couch his brother was lying on. 

Rami walks away slowly, forcing himself to not cry. Because you know, it's hard to just ignore the fact that sometimes they really meant what they're saying to him. 

After all, they don't like him as their brother in the first place.
