4. Arthur

The night was young. The sounds of dripping water from the wall fountain were clear, little bit eerie. Ran Jovac listened them carefully through his opened window. His second brother had left the door behind him after a small talk.

" What is it really what you want brother ?"

" About Jun? "

" What else , " Arthur still in his office suit. " I never doubting your decision, brother. But at least tell me if we've done the right thing. Adopting a sister out of nowhere, who doesn't even appear like a girl . Are we not wasting the time ? " he sighed.

Ran ignored that " Our life had been boring all along, let me remind you . What's cost to bring some fun to this place? Do we lack anything ? She agreed anyway. I don't know what kind of girl she is but I'm sure of one thing : she doesn't afraid to die. She had been died if we didn't help her. " he stared at him incredulously. " Thus we ruined her will to end her life. She lost the will to be alive already, then what kind of harm the dead man can do to us? We are only borrowing her time. Try to get along with her . "

The lawyer was annoyed.

How uncomfortable

Jun moved back slowly. She was about to greet the eldest brother at his room, then accidentally heard the whole conversation.

*So annoying*.

She remembered Theon Greyjoy of house Greyjoy. Born in Greyjoy, to be sold or taken hostage to House of Stark. Raised by Stark, struggled to fit either in Stark or Grejoy. Bolton given him a new name as a slave : Reek. His heart was a stark. He died deffending Bran Stark. Died in honor as a Stark.

She felt so much like that man.

I'm not Theon Grejoy. I refuse to struggle. Instead, I'll rule Jovac.

She summoned the butler came to her room. They called her room as Blue room. It was in the east wing , far away from the other Jovac.

" Good evening , young master. What can I help you? "

he bowed courtesy. Edward was there when Jun hit the car and collapsed to the ground , in the very beginning of the story.

" I will need Julie when I'm at home. I heard she was just a part time worker here ?"

" That's right . Then I will arrange it for you, Master "

" Thanks Edward , "

Edward could feel her heat, eventhough that room was supposed to be chilly. This country, Land of East was the great island that having four seasons. And now was fall winter. She wore t shirt and running pant, running shoes. Edward didn't dare to look at those skin, he was a gentleman after all. He had seen all the boys growing up here in this mansion, and although the person in front of him doesn't have any Jovac blood line, he would treat her with the same amount of respect as the other masters. " If Young master need to use the gym, we have it here in East wing sir, "

" Do we have running track ? " Jun wanted to know.

" We have, but it's too dark at this hour "

" Then please led me the way, I need it " Jun walked off the room, the butler followed behind.

She had the same head as the eldest son, Edward sighed. The running track was five hundred meters from East wing front door, surrounded by Magnolia stelatta along the way. Those white trees were mesmerizing tonight, with garden solar lights on the ground. She ran off alone and insisted the butler to be back to the house. " No worry Edward, If I meet a snake I will eat the snake if I met a boar I will eat the boar " she said, without smile.

" Young Master? " Edward flinched, seen Arthur in East wing lobby. What a timing. He lived in West wing, not made any sense suddenly appeared in the East at this hour. Almost eleven pm.

" Is my brother not in his room ? " Arthur asked, ignoring the butler's shock face.

Which brother ? Edward mumbled in his own head. " He is in the middle of running, young master " he pointed outside. Arthur nodded.

" He asked for a female servant , sir "

" Then give him "

" Alright . So, do you need anything ? "

" I'll be back to West wing. Just ask the kitchen to prepare ginger drink and send to his room. Good night, Edward "

The old man rubbed his nose , bowed deeply. " Good night , young master "

Next day in seventh floor of Jovac entertainment headquarter. By nine , the hall had filled. Herman had been there with his teams, from make up artists, costumes to cameras, from singing dancing coaches to sound systems.

He knew one thing : trainee department was his territory. If he managed well, he won't lost his neck. The old would be replaced by the young unless you irreplaceable.

The twenty girls were ready. Lea van Bouren and Derrick Ethan as guest judges had been presented in the area, both were famous veteran singers. When Ariel and Jun entered the room, everyone looked delighted. Jun wore the white cloak in snake pattern , made her silver hair looked fresh. Ariel in his white suit and flowery tie, such a treat for every human who had eyes.

" Let's begin ," Jun smiled to Herman. The man gave sign to the MC to started the program. The music slowed down as the MC went up to the stage , greeted everyone and warmed up the audience for two minutes. Cathalina from BMX was in charged for the MC.

Jun took notes.

First contestant was Ivana, nine year old girl who did rap and hip hop dance. And the next one, went the next one. Regardless what the jugdes said, Jun made her own notes.

Each contestant had two minutes for greeting and introduction, five minutes for performing.

The program ended at half past twelve , the three winner had been decided. They were Ivana, Chrystal and Morphin.

Chrystal was like a barbie doll, with red hair and thick lips. Morphin was a short bob hair , chinesse eyes. Both performed and got highest point from the judges.

" Let's take a break everyone , and thank you for the hardwork " Ariel exchanged the handshake to the guests, Lea and Derrick. He pat Herman on his shoulder. " Thanks old man, enjoy your short break. Save your energy for tonight "

The bosses had quick lunch in five star hotel with the esteemed guests before their busy schedule, then parted after short interview with national television.

Arthur rang Jun's mobile. For the first time.

" Have you finished your lunch? '

" Precisely, yes brother. You stop by ?"

" Yeah..."

Jun chuckled " Wanna come up ? "

" Tell Ariel I'm waiting downstair. "

" How about your lunch ? "

" I'm fine. "

He was reading the magazine when Jun and Ariel reached the lobby area. Claire bowed to him politely. Although she had never met Arthur before, she slightly knew from his facial that he was one of the Jovac. Very dark hair , another tall figure , beautiful face.

" My car is too small for so many people " Ariel complained.

" I'll drive with Jun, we'll see you in office " Arthur grabbed Jun's hand and fled with his sport car.

*I thought he never agreed about the idea of having a new Jovac ? He sulked alot too*..

Ariel shrugged.

*Whatever*.

A few minutes later, they gathered in office. Three Jovacs in office, that was another topic.

" John, send the message to Herman. I need the ugliest trainee from the seventeenth girl who did not get chosen today. I need a name. And send the chosen three to my place tonight. " Jun passed the note to John.

Although confused, John bowed and moved.

Claire served the tea for three masters. Jun seated across the other two. Ready with another shots. " Help me summon Cathalina, please "

" Right away , director Jun "

" Do you invite journalist for tonight, junior ? " asked Ariel curiously.

" Not necessary, brother. Early publication won't be good for the kids. Let them having their freedom while they can "

Arthur drank his tea calmly, his mind observing in silence. When she gave the orders to her people, her aura was unbeatable. So powerful , like she had been in the job for hundred of years. Her eyes, her frown, her confidence...

That was definitely not the quality of someone who tried to kill herself in a car crashed.

He wanted to know if she needed a private tuition. Or went back to college ? But seen her so busy right now , he wouldn't say a word.

" We won't be back for dinner, brother " informed Ariel.

" Why so ? "

" We'll select another debutant tonight " Ariel answered.

*Damn, why you answered me. Why not let her talking*.

" Okay, "

" You not back to your court ? "

" Already finished one in the morning. I don't need to go back there, " Arthur smiled.

Conversation stopped by the presence of Cathalina BMX. She greeted the bosses elegantly, then Claire helped her seated in a single different chair.

A little nervous, although the boys put the smile on their faces. Opportunity or nightmare ? she thought uneasy.

Eventually, Jun made it easy. " You did a good job as the MC this morning , congratulation. "

" Thank you director , "

" Aside of you, is there anyone else ?"

" Pardon? "

" I mean, in BMX. Do you know someone as good as you to do the MC's job ? "

" Ngg.... Andrea is good , director "

" Nice. " Jun smiled " Do you want BMX become the best girlband in the world , Miss Cathalina? "

The girl nodded. She confused enough. She didn't even knew either being roasted or being praised.

" If you stand too bright, the rest will become dark. So whenever you had a chance to stand brighter than others, share your light. If you stand out too much, BMX won't last a year. You their leader right ? "

" Yes , director. "

" Good, " another smile. " Work harder, practice more,encourage each other, and stick together to your friends no matter how good you are. "

Arthur looked at Jun in disbelief. Wow.

Her voice was so soothing in his ear. Ariel was in deep of admiration too, he could see from the rear. Not to mention Cathalina, who've been paralyzed from the sweetness of the new Jovac.

" Thank you for having us, Miss Cathalina " Ariel sent the girl off, while talked to John about another matters. Claire stood by him with the notes. Eagerly.

" You need to sleep more tonight. Don't run. " Arthur talked in a low voice, touched Jun's forehead.

The girl smiled. Secretly pleased.

" Actually you can just let Herman do the selection job as before right ? "

" Let me do what I can do, oniisama. Everyone in this company shared the equal works. "

Again, her voice sizzled as snowy day. Arthur sighed. Maybe keeping her around was not bad though... He liked to hear her voice. He liked to see the way people surrendered to her without much consideration.

And, today was the first day that handsome silver girl called him oniisama.
