Complicated - 5
Mission 1 for Phil.
To Maya L.
Ara, sorry I didn't make it clear. Paul was gentle, and Philip was a bit conceited. Riana seemed to like Paul so she agreed to be friends. The twins were the ones inside the car that passed by her when she was going to school. Paul saw that she was lonely. He wanted to approach her for a certain reason. Well, that's what happened. Peace!

"I still don’t want to leave you. I like you Riana... As a friend that is.
Ever since I saw you walking alone with a lonely face, I wanted to protect you and make you laugh. I wanted to see you smile always."
We stared at each other for minutes.
He smiled but his shaking voice was noticeable. "Ah, don't mind me!" He tried to speak normally. "J-just forget what I've said. B-bye..."
"Paul..." I whispered, then shouted "Goodbye!".
He walked away and didn't look back.
...
"Yah, Yen."
"..."
"Why are you always... mysteriously quiet? [Is my hotness affecting you?]"
"I want to be alone. [No, certainly not. Stop saying unpleasant things.]"
Philip and Yenaline were sitting at the high school benches-- the common meeting place of his students [chapt. 3]. The two were sharing one bench but were sitting at both ends. The placed their bags between them.
"Yah, where could Paul and Riana be?"
Yenaline sighed. "Patience... You mustn't 'stalk' the person you like."
"But I want to see her every minute -"
"Even so. You mustn't. It's creepy."
"Yenaline, I'm creepy? Aren't you a hypocrite?"
"... What?"
"You plan on 'observing' me, my brother and Riana... Aren't you also creepy?"
"But, I don't stalk."
"Ugh," he scowled.
Yen sighed once more. "No matter how much we argue you'll never win."
"Wha--?"
"... Break time's over, get back to work."
Philip exhaled long, then managed to calm himself. "Fine, you win... Anyway, about my brother..."
"Yes, he has 90% chance to win her heart. Since he seems to like her, you’re in trouble."
"..." He glared at her.
"What?"
"...Why do you usually cut my sentences off?"
"Habit."
"..."
She cleared her throat to get his attention back to the topic. "Anyway, as I was speaking... You have a small chance of winning."
He scowled at her again. She smirked as a response.
"Of course, I'm here to help you." She spoke conceitedly. "Well then, shall we start?"
>Mission no. 1: KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUNGER BROTHER
Due to his closeness with Riana, he might tell you some important information.
-Philip’s response: "Er, ‘important information’?"
About Riana, of course. However, you mustn’t ask too much, or your brother will suspect that you also like her. If he knew…
-Philip’s response: "I don’t care."
You must be careful. That’ll be bad. Even if you don’t care about the bond between you two or even his feelings, remember that we cannot let the worst-case scenario destroy our plan.
+First problem: If he knew, there could be a challenge between you and him. He has a larger chance to win. Keep that in mind.
+Second problem: Riana might think you’re a bad person for hurting Paul—you already are, but you need to clean up your act for her to have a good impression, at least. [Anyway, she already had a bad first impression of you, but we’ll take care of that later.]
+The Third and Worst Problem: She will close the door. She will never let you come in. If that happens… game over. Anyway, she might consider him, but she seems like a good girl so perhaps not. She’ll dump you both so that you two might, at least, make up. Also, your brother might never forgive you for hurting both of them. But, as you have said, you don’t really care as long as you get the girl.
…And that ends your first instruction.
"Wow." He replied.
"What ‘wow’?"
"I didn’t understand. Can you repeat everything you have said?"
"… Just remember to be a ‘good elder brother’ so you can use him to know more about her." She took her bag and stood. "Keep things in moderation, okay?... Oh, and don’t be too conspicuous to avoid problems. You don’t wanna hurt yourself and Riana…" She walked away and said a gentle "Good luck".
She left as his brother came.
"Yo, Philip."
"Paul." He lowered his head and looked away from him. "Where have you been?"
"Aha… I walked Riana home… D-don’t tell mom and dad that I went outside the campus!"
"… Fine."
"Thanks." He smiled and punched his elder brother’s shoulder.
"No prob." Philip flinched but Paul didn’t notice. ‘Yeah, rejoice now, brother. Then, cry tomorrow. I’ll surely take her away…’
