"Mm-hmm....is it morning already, babe?" I stretch out my hands and legs as soon as I woke up from my sleep. My eyes are hardly open yet and still feel a little bit sleepy, maybe because I slept late last night because of my bachelor party. "Uh-oh...." I am now wide awake after almost forgetting something important in my life. "God, today is my WEDDING!"

I just noticed my fiancée already left the room, but why didn't she wake me up, though. I scoot away from bed with only the comforter covering my half-naked body. There is a note with a lipstick mark on it and quickly took it from the right side table.

'See you at the altar, hubby. Don't be late and I love you to the moon and back.'

The note made me squeal for a moment, then quickly covered my whole body with the comforter when my sister suddenly barged into the room.

"What are you doing, Dylan?" My sister asked me in confusion. She is already in her coral coloured dress with her hair is still wrapping with a towel. "Seriously, why are you still in bed? Get up already!"

*clears throat*

"Alright...alright!" I replied then carefully put the note back on the right side table. "See you too, my love," I said along with a smile while touching the lipstick mark on the note before heading into the bathroom.

Several years before...

DYLAN HARRISON'S POV

"Dad, Daniella...Helen? Where are you guys?" I wondered where my family went to. They were just here a moment ago, but now, they were just....gone. We were supposed to be on our way to a party.

Wait...wait a second. W-we just had an accident!

That's right, I remember now. My dad, h-he lost control of the car and...

Oh my God....n-no, no, it can't be.

Dad and Helen!! They are still in that car. I-I have to save them before it's too late. My dad's wrecked car is not far from me...Damn it! There's fire, I have to be quick!

"Dad!! I'm coming for you!" I rushed to save my dad and my stepmother while holding the pain by gritting my teeth from my dislocated leg even though it hurts so much.

*loud bang*

"NO!!!!"I shouted at the top of my lung and soon realized that it was just only a dream. It was the same bad dream that I was having over and over again every night since a couple of weeks ago.

I take a look at my hands, and they are trembling so badly. "Calm down, Dylan. It was only just a dream..."

"Daijoubou desu?" A soft voice suddenly spoke out from my left side and almost made me jump out of the bed.

"Miku??" I was shocked when saw one of Wilson's triplets was on the same bed as me with her top pyjamas almost revealing her right chest. "What are you doing here?"

The girl in the ponytail looks around as she just realizes she is in the wrong bedroom. "O-oh...my bad. I went to the toilet earlier and forgot that I let you use my room for tonight."

Her current state made me a little bit uncomfortable, and of course, I tried my best not to show any weird side of me in front of her so she wouldn't freak out.

I never expected that I could see this side of her. She didn't react so much when we met earlier. Instead, just focused on reading her books when her father introduced me and my little sister.

"U-umm Miku?" I scratched the back of my head while avoiding making eye contact with her.

"Yes, what is it?" She asked and seemed so innocent as she was looking at me with a confused face.

Man... how can someone be this cute?

"Aren't you..." I couldn't finish my words when she suddenly stretched and almost revealed her right breast. "Whoa...whoa, cover yourself!" My hand suddenly moved by itself by grabbing the pillow and accidentally threw it straight in her direction. But unfortunately, I missed my aim and hit her face instead. It is all because I broke my right arm and had to use the other one.

Uh-oh, this is bad.

I feel so nervous all of a sudden when noticing that Miku didn't move at all. She just wraps her arms around the pillow while covering her face with it.

She can't be dead, right? I just accidentally hit her with a pillow, and it wasn't that hard, too, probably.

God, what am I supposed to do?

Will Mr Wilson kick me out because of this?

"Are you going to watch me like that until morning?" She finally spoke out again after a few minutes of silence, and it makes me feel at ease a little. "To be honest, I couldn't sleep anywhere other than my bed. If you don't mind, can I just sleep here with you?" God, how come she just asked me that with her calm expression? Seriously, I don't know how to react at all. "And umm...here's the barrier between us." Then put one of the pillows in the middle of the bed to separate her space and mine.

"Wait, sleep what?!" I was surprised by her sudden request.

"You can just pretend that I am not here with you," she continues, then grabs the comforter to cover her whole body.

"W-wait, Miku... you must be kidding, right?" I still froze on the side of the bed after hearing her shocking words.

"Of course not, I’m serious," she replied with a weak voice. "I'll leave first in the morning, don't worry about it."

"But u-ummm...."I am still unsure about this. Yes, she doesn't seem like she cares about this, but I am not! What if her dad knew about this after he just took me in? Arghh...I really can't imagine what will happen.

"Just stop thinking already, Harrison..." Miku suddenly grabs my hand out of the blue and pulls me straight onto the bed, forcing me to lie on my back right beside her. "Now, I can sleep peacefully, Oyasumi..." she said along with a sigh.

I could only see her backside as she was facing the other way. "Sorry for troubling you and your family," I feel so bad for being a new burden to her and her family, so I decided to apologize whenever I have a chance.

But....*sighs*...I guess she is already asleep, though.

"Goodnight then," I whisper, then turn to face the other way while trying to force myself to fall asleep again.

*****

"Yo, Harrison-kun," I am still in deep sleep when someone suddenly calls my name. It is a male voice, obviously, and he keeps poking my cheek, which kind of annoyed me a little. "Wakey-wakey, it's already morning,"

"Whoa, too close!" I almost kick Mitsuo Wilson out of the bed as soon as I open my eyes. He surprised me so early in the morning by crouching on the side of the bed with his face so close to me.

Damn... that guy almost gave me a heart attack.

Mitsuo just cracks a laugh while scratching the back of his head as if like nothing happened just now. "Okasan asked me to wake you up," he said along with a smile. "So, here I am...oh by the way, Ohayou gozaimasu, Harrison-kun!"

Ohayou gozaimasu?

"Oh, that means good morning in our language," he adds along with the smile that never leaves his face. "Let's go...I'm starving."

Mitsuo, the middle son of the Wilson, already went downstairs, leaving me all alone in Miku's bedroom. Oh, Miku...man, I never expected that she would be so carefree, though.

I scoot away from the bed, then walk wobbly with my eyes still heavy towards the upstairs bathroom. It is two rooms after Miku's, to be exact.

My paces stopped right away at the doorstep as soon as I saw another triplet being inside the bathroom. She is standing right in front of the sink while brushing her teeth, and of course, she is a little bit shocked too as soon as she notices my presence.

"O-oh, so sorry, I didn't know you are in here," I quickly apologize to her while scratching the back of my head, trying my best not to make eye contact with her.

"Daijoubou desu, I'm already done by the way," she replied, then quickly rinsed her mouth at the sink. "Feel free to use it..." She placed back her blue toothbrush at the toothbrush holder on the left side of the sink.

I wonder which of the two siblings she is, aside from Mitsuo, of course. Miku or Miko....since they are both so identical to me. Wait for a second, that top... I remember that! Miku wore it last night when we both slept together. I mean...well, ah, never mind then.

She tilts her head a little while looking at me, with a confused look all over her face. "Anyway... do you have your own toothbrush? Or do you want a new one?" She kindly offers to me in a polite manner.

The way she talks in English is kind of cute, though...

"Um, yeah... sure," I wonder why I just stuttered when I spoke with her. Maybe because of what happened between us last night. "I think I don't have one with me,"

"Chotto matte kudasai...." she said something that I don't understand at all, then took a brand new toothbrush from the cabinet on her left side.

"Choco melt what?" I am so confused about what she just said and tried to repeat her words, and I wonder if I said it correctly. Maybe she is trying to talk about breakfast or something.

She suddenly burst into laughter, which I did not expect at all. Maybe she meant something else earlier, but I misheard and mispronounced it.

Damn, this is so embarrassing!

"Gomen...gomen...I shouldn't have laughed like that," she quickly apologized while bowing to me a little. "It's not choco melt actually, it's chotto matte kudasai... which means wait a minute." She explained to me while trying her best to hold her laughter.

"Oh...well, that was so embarrassing," Honestly I said, I didn't know how to face her now because of the misunderstanding. So, I just look away while scratching my left eyebrow which is not that itchy though.

"Etto...here's the toothbrush," she quickly hands me the toothbrush. Her small warm hand feels so soft as both of our hands brush with each other. "Can you do it by yourself, Harrison-kun?" she knits her right eyebrow a little while staring at me with her beautiful chestnut eyes.

I don't get why she asked me that and finally noticed it when she pointed to my cast right arm with her small index finger.

"Boy...I forgot about my hand," Man, this is so embarrassing and awkward too. How come I forgot about my injury?

I guess, she must be dying to laugh right now.

"Maybe I should learn the Japanese language as soon as possible, well you know, because I will start school here with all of you..." I suggested to her. "Will you teach me then, Miku? What do you say?"

"I uh..." I notice that her eyes look away from me as if like she is trying to avoid my contact.

"Dylan?" My sister suddenly approached me from behind. "Mrs Wilson called us for breakfast...o-oh sorry, I didn't know you are in the middle of something with Miku," and she just notices that Miku is also here with me. Probably because I am too tall and completely block Miku with my whole body.

"Daijoubou desu," Miku Wilson replied along with a small smile. "I'll go down first..." she then walked away from us and went downstairs to the kitchen.

I could see Daniella's eyes are all puffy as if like she was crying hard last night. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

And it breaks my heart to see her that way.

"Come here,"I gently grab her arm and pull her into a hug. "I promise everything will be alright after this. Let's always stick together, okay?"

"Promise?" Her voice cracks as she almost tears up again.

"Mm-hmm..I promise," I said along with a smile, then slowly released the hug. "Wanna pinky promise with me?"

"Yup, sure..." I smiled, then interlocked my pinky finger with her small pinky. "The Wilson are kind enough to take us in, so be sure to treat them better, okay? We truly owe them so much for this."

She nodded, "Oh and Miku is so nice to me though." Daniella looked excited as she mentioned Miku's name. "But I wonder where she went after she said she wanted to go the toilet last night."

I gulped once when remembered what happened last night between Miku and me. I probably shouldn't say anything about last night to Daniella, or she will misunderstand the whole situation.

"Come, let's go for breakfast..."I suggested along with a small smile, then went downstairs together with Daniella.
