(notes at the end to be read)

We've felt the need to help others (health-wise) since our dad left. Our mother had to work to feed us and our younger brother. It intensified after the Kamoshida track incident. Seeing our younger brother blamed like that has caused so much pain, we've decided to work at the school so that he would not go through the experience again.

After another Kamoshida incident where he confesses all of his actions, we advertise getting a school counselor for the school during a teacher meeting. Knowing how traumatic it was for her younger brother after the first time, she wants the school to finally start taking care of their students after not listening to her the first time.

She never would've expected that the same counselor would become someone so important to her.

A FEW NOTES TO MENTION.

first of all, I HAVE NO IDEA WHO MADE THAT DRAWING OF MARUKI, IF ANYONE OR IF YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO MADE IT, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME AND I WILL CREDIT YOU OR IF YOU WANT ME TO TAKE IT DOWN PLEASE TELL ME. the only thing added to the art was more space on the side.

second of all, this is totally not what i usually write. i've been trying to keep up with writing and reposting stuff within the kpop community, specifically within seventeen, but i've been hit with the sudden inspiration to write a story about one of my favorite game franchises.

AND LASTLY, i still plan to work on what i've been hinting at, but i've lost a bit of inspiration for it lmao so i decided to work on something else in the meantime.

i hope you all enjoy this small project of mine :)

"it's important to not push yourself too hard. Remember, your mind needs rest too." I looked up at him from my desk, sighing while placing my pen down.

"alright, fine.."

"everytime I look at him.. I feel like I've failed him as his older sister." I mumbled, looking up after a few seconds of silence from him.

"I hope you know, he adores you more than you think.." he said to me, slowly intertwining our hands in comfort.

I looked at the boy with a raised brow, an unamusing smile on my face "are you sure you know what you're doing?"

He simply chuckled, "what? don't trust me?"

I nodded immediately, "Akira, I absolutely do not trust you"

"What about my sister damn it!" Ryuji yelled at Maruki, taking another step forward. "are you just going to break her heart like this?"

Maruki grunted at the sound of your name, the thought of your smile entirely replacing his thoughts of Rumi "don't mention her." he grimaced. "she has nothing to do with this."

Joker grunted as he held Maruki's hand, "don't do this to her-" he added, trying to pull him up.

"Don't you want to be with her?"

My eyes widened as I watched what was in front of me.

Suguru Kamoshida was on his knees confessing everything to the whole school.

All of his crimes. From abusing the volleyball team, being the cause of the disbandment of the track team, to sexualizing the girls. Even confessing to his advances toward me and the other younger teachers.

“Someone! Please, Call the police!” he yelled out.

The gym got louder after that, with teachers yelling at students to get back to class, and students loudly talking about how the rumors were all true.

I stood there as the teachers moved the students out the best they could, a few hanging behind. Staying behind as I watch the students interact. I recognized one of the girls, I remember seeing her with Ryuji during middle school. I frown as I hear one girl apologizing to her about the rumored relationship with Kamoshida. I walked up to the group, giving them a soft smile.

”Hey, let’s get going to class, yeah?” I said to the group of girls, they smiled at me and nodded before leaving. I looked at my brother and crossed my arms. 

“You’re probably relieved about this,” I said to him, a small smile on my face as he grinned up at me. “Aren’t you?” He replied back.

I slightly laughed and wrapped my arm around his shoulder, with him being just slightly taller than me. I raised my hand to ruffle his hair “Let’s talk about this later, yeah? You three should get to class” I tell him, playfully pushing him forward to start moving. I looked at the other two and they started walking with him.

”Who is that..?” I heard one of them say as they walked off.

I didn’t hear Ryuji’s response but the girl yelled “SISTER?!” before they left the gym. 

I got the rest of the students who were in the gym out and to their classes before heading back to the nurse’s office. 

As I entered the room, I saw a student in there waiting for assistians. I raised a brow as I looked around for the nurse. “Hi, do you need something?” I asked the student.

When I couldn’t find the nurse I turned towards the girl. “I just, I felt like after what happened in the gym, I needed to see you. I mean. You were one of his victims too right?” The student said. I frowned and walked up to her. “Hey, it’s okay. Calm down, you’re okay.” I gently rubbed her shoulders in comfort, bringing her over to the couch to sit. “Do you want to talk about it or..” 

The girl shook her head “I just, I need someone here with me.”

We stayed there for a few minutes. Just silence between the two of us.

This wasn’t the first time she came to me. She wasn’t the first student. Many students had come to me for comfort for anything. I had assumed it was because I was younger than some of the other teachers that students felt like they could come to me. It warmed my heart that I had that sort of effect.

Finally, the nurse came in, rubbing her stomach. She raised a brow when she saw the student. “You need to go to class ms.” The student looked up at her, eyes welling with tears as she nodded at her. “T-thank you sakamoto sensei.” I smiled and nodded at her, walking her out the door. 

I closed the door behind her, turning back towards the nurse. She gave me a look “You can’t have the students in here for fun.” She sternly said. I tilted my head and gave her a look. “She was crying Yaba san.” I replied.

She shook her head regardless. “Doesn’t mean she can just come in here, she has her homeroom teacher to go to if she needs someone.” 

I scoffed. “Are you serious right now?” I asked, before I could say anything else I heard two pings. One coming from her and my laptop.

I rolled my eyes at her before walking away to my separate desk. 

“I worry that you’ll continue this while I’m away for maternity leave,” the nurse said, walking to her side desk and picking up a few papers to organize. Rubbing her stomach again. 

I ignored her as I read the email just sent to us. 

‘staff meeting after school @ 4:00’

I sighed and grabbed my phone, immediately texting Ryuji. 

StinkFace 🤮❤️

*hey

*last minute teacher meeting

*get home safe

*don’t stay up for me

-

As the bell rang, I started packing my stuff up. Getting ready for the staff meeting that was most likely about Kamoshida.

Me and Yaba san walked to the meeting room, where some of the teachers were already there. The principal is at the end of the table, waiting for the teachers to all appear. 

I sat down and waited. Once everyone was here the principal started talking.

”You all clearly understand why we’re here correct?” He started. We all nodded. The principal sighed and rubbed his forehead.

”Does anyone know what we should do in the meantime for the volleyball team? or if we can find any last-minute subs for gym?”

I heard a teacher cough to get our attention, I looked over to see it was Kawakami. “Are we just going to ignore what happened?” She said, “A teacher, someone who we considered was our college just confessed to these things and we as a school are just going to ignore it?” She asked.

Another teacher, Ushimaru, sighed “Well what do you think we should do? The police coming to take him was enough trouble enough. Now the news will be bursting with stories about this.”

”To add on with that, the school’s reputation is surely ruined now.” Another said. I sighed and looked at the staff as they argued back and forth.

”What about you Y/n san, you’ve been quiet this whole time.” I blinked as I looked at the teacher who said my name. I sighed, but before I could speak another interrupted. 

“You’re quite close to the students too considering how young you are, don’t you have a solution?” 

I cleared my throat before sitting up, “Well.. why don’t we get a counselor.” I simply said.

It was silent for a while, the teachers looking at each other. I decided to continue.

”Students come to me all the time to seek comfort, before, during, and after school and that’s not what I’m here for. I’m here to help students who feel ill or get hurt.”

I then look at Yaba, “And once Yaba san goes on maternity leave, I won’t have time to take care of the students like how I am at the moment. Getting a counselor would be the best option not only for the staff but for the students as well.” I concluded.

“After this morning, do you think anyone would want to work here?” Asked Chouno. I sighed. Do they not know how a counselor works?

The staff soon started arguing back and forth about whether we should get a counselor. The principal then got everyone’s attention. 

“Well, there was someone who asked to come work as a councilor here at Shujin. I just haven’t given it any thought until now. I’m glad you brought it up Sakamoto san.”

I raised an eyebrow, “yeah..” I mumbled. The principal then went on, “I’ll get in contact with that person, we’ll hire him to help with the students. We should give him a list of students we believe will benefit him working here.” He said, “I also think that hiring him will get the media off our backs, make them believe that we care about the student’s mental beings.

My eyes widened at that, I was about to say something at the comment before the principal concluded the meeting. I huffed out a sigh and grabbed my stuff, leaving the room.

As I walked to the station, I couldn’t help but think about Ryuji. With how the school handled his whole track situation.

“So that's how he feels about the students..” I grumbled angrily.

Running up the stairs, I could hear faint sounds of yelling. 

“How can you raise him like that?” I heard someone yell as I got to the door. I stopped myself from entering the room as I heard Ryuji yell back, “Stop yelling at her!” I heard a bit of shuffling and soon the door opened in front of me. The scowl on Ryuji’s face was evident but left as soon as he saw me.

I looked back at the teachers and glared at them before walking away with the two. We walked to the entrance before our mother stopped walking. Me and Ryuji both looked back at her, confused as to why she stopped walking.

”I’m sorry..” I heard her say, I tilted my head but didn’t say anything yet.

”I’m sorry for being a single mother..” My eyes widened. “Mom..” I mumbled, taking her hand into mine, she shook her head. “I’m sorry..”

I never want Mom to ever apologize for what she couldn’t control ever again.

“Hello I’m calling from the Hospital about Ryuji Sakamoto, is this Y/n Sakamoto?” I blinked for a second before nodding my head, despite the person over the phone unable to see. “Yes I am, did something happen?” I asked, beginning to pack up my stuff.

”Yes, well you see your brother broke his leg at school today and we couldn’t get in contact with your mother.”

I ran out of the room immediately, not bothering to say goodbye to my friends. I ran to the hospital. 

He was at the hospital? Was he not at practice today? Or did it happen during practice?

I hurriled walked over to the front desk and said my brother’s name, they kindly point the way where he was currently being treated and I made my way over. 

In front of the door, I didn’t expect to see his coach sitting there waiting for him. When I approched him I bowed to show my respect. “Hello, I’m Ryuji’s older sister.” He gave me a small bow back.

I looked in the room where Ryuji was suppose to be. “Do you know what happened him?” I asked. If I had looked back at him, I would’ve seen the look in his eyes as they roamed up and down my body.

”Sakamoto Kun attacked me today during practice.” I wipped my head back at the man at that.

Ryuji did what?

I rasied an eyebrow “How.. what does that have to do with him breaking his leg?” I asked him, the man chuckled and crossed his arms. “He almost hurt me, I was acting in self defense.” I started at him in disbelif. 

I learned later that day that my brother could no longer run the same way anymore. His track career was over before it could begin.

And it was all that damn coach’s fault.

-

I woke up in a groggily mood. Looking at my alarm clock and seeing it was almost 10. Slowly I got up from my bed and went to the bathroom, I could still hear Ryuji snoring from his room. 

Thankfully with the money I’ve earned from working during collage, and taking up job offers at small places, I was able to save up for a two room apartment (it wasn’t easy and took a while) but it was enough to help out our mom just a bit.

At first I was wondering if it really was the best idea to move the both of us out but as I thought about it some more, I was able to make her not worry about needing to be home right away to feed her son.

I left the bathroom and went straight to the kitchen. Getting ready to prepare breakfast for the two of us.

There was no school today due to what happened yesterday to prepare the school for what to do. Though I doubt the school would do anything to begin with.

When I was halfway prepared with our breakfast, I saw Ryuji walk over to the kitchen. His hair was a mess and he could barely open his eyes. I chucked and watched as he walked over to watch me cook. 

“Good morning to you, did you sleep well?” I asked him. He groaned and rubbed his eyes “I slept fine, how about you?” 

We made small talk as I finished up our breakfast, I let him plate up his food as I wash up the remaining dishes before sitting down with my own plate.

”So,” I started as I sat down. “about yesterday..” Looking at him as he paused in eating.

”How.. are you okay? I mean what happened yesterday was so sudden, I just..” I sighed. “I want to know how you feel. I mean he was.. I just-“

”Sis I’m alright.”

I looked up at him as he said that, a frown on my face as I waited for him to say anything else. “I mean he’s getting what he deserves now. Why wouldn’t I be happy about that.” Sighing, I nodded, “I just, I feel like I haven’t done much as an adult, mostly as your sister, to protect you earlier.”

Ryuji tilted his head, confused. “I clearly knew what was going on, but I couldn’t do anything about it until now.” I frowned.

”I just want to apologize, I clearly didn’t do much like I promised when I first applied to work at the school.”

I was about to go on and ramble before I heard Ryuji start laughing. 

“What are you talking about? You’ve done more than what any other teacher whose been working there for so long has done. I’d even say you’ve done more than what the older teachers have tried.” He finished. 

I frowned, “Ryuji I-“

He shook his head though, “listen to me, I’ve seen you interact with my classmates and I can tell they enjoy your presence. Even though you started like what, a year ago? I can tell they like you. You’re trying your best.”

”And you just got the job sis, I don’t expect you to change the school in just a year.

I looked at him for a second, wondering for a second if I was truly looking at my brother. “Geez, look at you using smart words.” I joked with him.

Ryuji rolled his eyes and ate a spoonful of his breakfast.

I watched him eat, wondering where that little boy I grew up watching everyday after school went.

I could still vividly see his black hair on him as he sat in front of me.
