The Brother Who Hates Me

"Father, aren\'t you going to swim?" Raven asked totally ignoring Jordan who sat on a beach chair beside her.

"Later I will." Senior Choi answered while he rose up and checked his mobile phone. He noticed his son was holding a towel.

"Is that for Raven? Brat you are so logy, go on and give her that." Raven looked at Jordan who handed her the towel.

"Thanks." She said while still not in the mood and continued to eat.

Senior Choi shook his head. \'So slow!\' He thought as he looked towards his son who was still uneasy.

Senior Choi took various photos of the group and mostly of her daughter Raven. He was saving this for future use.

A wide wicked grin can be seen on his face while he looked at his phone. His mind was busy thinking on what favors he can asks his son with each photos.

Raven once again backed into the water and now together with Chad.

\'Son you should enjoy. What\'s with your unpainted face?" Senior Choi can\'t help but comment.

"What\'s up with you? Why would you let her wear so little like that? She\'s almost nude!" Jordan asked Senior Choi back instead. Then he heard Jordan called his assistant on the phone.

In just ten minutes Lou arrived with paper bags in his hands containing various rash guards.

"I will call Raven here and you give this to her! Can you at least be stricter?" Jordan scolded his father before leaving him and went towards to Raven.

Senior Choi was left with his mouth opened in dazed. He saw Nanny Rong approaching.

"Nanny Rong, how dare that brat order me around? Is he the father or I am?"

Nanny Rong: "......"

"Raven, father asked for you." said Jordan as he went into the water and joined Chad.

Raven wrinkled her eyebrows but followed.

Chad was talking to Jordan when they saw Raven jumped back into the water wearing a rash guard instead. Senior Choi joined them also.

"Hey, why did you change?" Sheena asked.

"Father said this one was better for skin protection." Raven answered as she shrugged her shoulder.

Jordan on the side smiled widely and commented. "That one was definitely better. It suits you well."

Raven gave him a half smile because she can\'t tell if that was a compliment or he was trying to say that her body doesn\'t look good on her first swim wear.

"There\'s also one for you girls. There\'s so many to choose from." Senior Choi added while he looked intensely at Jordan.

\'Look at how happy and satisfied that brat is. He didn\'t even bother to thank his Old Man for the favor he had asked me.\'

Everyone enjoyed the crystal beach even Nanny Rong.

The next day, all of them prepared for the island hopping. Chad\'s family had a yacht arranged they can use.

They first arrived at Vigu Island. Its clear blue waters are teeming with marine life. It is home to dugongs, turtles, manta rays, species of fishes and coral reefs.

The group prepare for a dive. Chad was assisting Raven when he was interrupted by Jordan.

"Dude, can you help me with this one?"

Senior Choi who joined the island hopping can no longer looked at his shameless son...

The group\'s last stopped was a small island surrounded by clear waters, rock formations and a scene of towering mountains. It was a good place as a lunch area.

Jordan never left Chad alone. He chatted with the boy most of the time while drinking beers.

The girls noticed that too and misinterpreted everything.

"What\'s wrong with your big bro? Does he like Chad?" Sheena asked meaningfully to Raven while observing Jordan.

"You mentioned before that he doesn\'t have a girlfriend up to now right or never heard him courted any girls before right?" Sheena still continued.

"So what are you trying to say? That my Jordan is somewhat gay?" Yan can\'t believe what Sheena\'s been insinuating.

"How old is he anyway? He should be married by now you know." Sheena added.

"That can\'t be. Maybe he was just fond of Chad. You know how friendly Chad is. Anyone can like him in an instant. Besides Jordan was just busy with the company." Raven can\'t help but opposed the idea.

At the back of her mind, she was convinced that Jordan was a straight person. Yes, he\'s maybe aloof to girls but somehow she does understand the guy. He grew up without a mother so most probably that\'s why he\'s like that.

Or perhaps he\'s just choosing wisely for a partner, someone who can meet his probably high standards and criteria.

She was also curious who might that person will be. She just hopes that is someone she can get along with easily to avoid any mishaps in the future.

Nanny Rong excitedly shouted to the group. "Come here and let\'s play charades!"

They formed two groups. Raven with Sheena and Nanny Rong while Chad with Jordan and Yan. Senior Choi will give the word or phrase each group need to guess.

The score now was 2-2 so Raven\'s group need to guess this one correctly for them to win. Sheena will be the one to act and she with Nanny Rong will guess.

Sheena frowned in protest when Senior Choi whispered the words but left no choice as the old man still did not change it.

Sheena began to act. She frowned then acted annoyed then somewhat she imitated Jordan\'s posture and cold face. Raven\'s still not convinced then Sheena acted gay still looking intently at her.

Without hesitating at all she blurted out. "Jordan Choi." Sheena shouted. "Woooaaww we won."

Chad, Senior Choi including Captain Jim looked at Jordan with inquiring eyes.

The latter just shrugged his shoulders. But at the back of his head there\'s a shout out.

\'I will prove you soon enough how manly I am then!\'

The next morning, they went to the airport for their flight back. All of them enjoyed their vacation and still loud inside the plane during the travel.

Raven, Senior Choi and Nanny Rong were picked up by their family driver while Jordan and Lou went directly to the company.

Inside the car, Jordan immediately instructed Lou.

"Oh yeah right Lou. Look for an Island and purchase one for me. I want the whole Island and have someone to prepare plans for a house and landscaping. Have them on my desk by tomorrow."

"Noted Sir." Lou answered.
