In one Saturday afternoon, a couple sat on a couch in their living room. Looking nervous and guilty. Their son, sat across them. He was looking at them, no, he was glaring at them furiously. The room was filled with silence until their son broke it.

"I want you to explain everything about this thing to me!" he said, pointing an old looking brown envelope on the table.

The wife glanced at her husband as he let out a sigh. "Tadashi, we will explain this thing to you. But please, calm down first," his father said.

"How can I calm down when I found out my parents have been hiding this thing for my entire life?!" Tadashi snapped at them.

"Tadashi, we're sorry," his mother whispered weakly. A tear fell to her cheek.

Tadashi clenched his fists, "Sorry? After all these years, that's the only thing you want to say to me?! Explain this, now!"

His father took the envelope from the table and took out a paper from inside. From his face, the father felt sad, hurt, regret, and other feelings he couldn't tell. He read what was written there. Tadashi tapped his foot, waiting for him to read it out loud. With a heavy feeling, his father finally read the paper out loud.

"We, Tomeo and Maemi Hamada, who signed this paper, put our second son up for adoption. We give up our parental rights, and let whoever wants to adopt him gets the parental rights. If someday we find him or meet him again, we will not ask him anything as his birth parents. Anything that is against his will. And we will not demand anything regarding him as we already give up our parental rights."

When Tomeo finished reading the paper out loud, Tadashi shouted at them furiously, "How could you do that to him! And me! What had he done to you that made you put him up on adoption like that?! You knew I have always wanted a sibling! Now I found out my parents have been hiding the truth about having a second child and put him up on adoption behind my back for years! How do you think I'm feeling right now?!"

"Tadashi, we're very sorry. At that time, we only wanted one child. Even if we had another one, we wished to have a daughter. But we regretted that decision," Maemi said between her sobs then cried with her face on her hands.

"Your mother is right, Tadashi," Tomeo said, "We regretted everything about putting your brother on adoption like that. I admit, we were really foolish back then. Didn't even think what would happen after that."

He knew his parents regretted their decision. But they couldn't turn back the time. It had been done years ago. Even with their deepest regret, they couldn't have his little brother again. The little sibling he always longed for.

Tadashi let out a shaky breathe, trying to hold his anger, "So, where is he now?"

"We don't know Tadashi. When we tried to look it up, the adopter didn't want to be found. So, we don't know where he is now. Or who he lives with. We tried to ask for his first name at least, but they didn't let us know because we already signed up that paper," Tomeo told him.

Not only he lost his little brother due to his parents' reckless decision. He didn't even know his own little brother's first name as well. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tighter. He slammed the table and rose up from his seat. His anger raised and the blood in his head boiled.

"I hate you! I really hate you!"

Tadashi stomped out from the living room. He could hear his mother's cry, but he didn't care. He went to his room and slammed the door shut. It let his parents know how mad he was at them. He sat on his bed with a painful look on his face.

A little brother.

Since he was very little, Tadashi had always wanted a sibling. A little brother to be exact. He felt really lonely. All of his friends had siblings, whether older or younger siblings. He always felt jealousy to those who had siblings and not growing up as an only child like him.

Every night, he always wished for a little sibling. A little brother. Someone who he could love, care, and protect. Someone to play together and share his toys with. Someone to teach everything he knew. Someone who could save him from his deep loneliness.

Those things he wished for his entire life, were all shattered to pieces. Maybe, if their parents didn't tell him to clean up the attic that day, he would never find out the truth they had been hiding from him for years. He loved his parents dearly. Sure, he hated them for hiding that truth from him. But the anger he was feeling torn him apart.

He needed some time alone.

So he got up, took a duffel bag and put some clothes and underwear into it. After he zipped his duffel bag, he took all the money he had saved and put them into his wallet. When he was done, he grabbed the bag and took his moped key. He walked down the stairs and went to the garage where he parked his moped. He knew his parents might come to the garage to stop him from leaving, but he didn't care.

He drove his moped away. Going somewhere he didn't know. To avoid his parents. To have some time alone. To calm himself down. And trying to not getting swallowed more by the loneliness he had felt for years.

Author's Note: Should I continue this? :3 I'm following a friend's advice to step away from the stories I don't feel to continue soon to clear up my mind. But somehow it always ends up as another multiple chapter story. *sighs* Anyway, I may write one more part. But please don't make a high hope for it ( '-').
