Caiden shoved his head on the book he was reading, he needed to study hard to pass each college entrance exams he planned to take. A loud groan escaped from the young man's mouth, frowning he looks at his sister, Camille, who is currently packing her clothes.

Camille and Mix have been planning to take a couple of vacations before their wedding next month.

Luckily, Caiden can't come since he has a lot of pending tests this week and of course he does not want to be a third wheeler. He hates looking like air between the two!

"Do you have to go?" the younger asked.

Camille paused before turning to Caiden, the younger insisted her to take a break from all her work, and now here he was questioning his sister's decisions.

"I thought you liked the idea?"

The man looked down, took a deep breath, and after a few scratches on the back of his head, he faced his sister. He is worried and it is plastered all over his face, something about this trip is making him afraid to let his sister go.

A warm embrace traveled all over his body ‘and then an assuring smile etched from his sister’s lips, she looks like an angel.

"Don't worry about me, I'm going with Mix. What you need to worry about is your math, go ace those entrance exams, and if you do I promise you I will take you to the Maldives."

"For real? You're not joking, right?!" He can't believe what he heard, his eyes are all wide and his jaw dropped forgetting about the fear he felt earlier.

They've been planning to go there but they can't afford a trip, so hearing the place pumped him up.

"Ok, fine I will focus on my study now. Take care always. Tell Mix if something happens to you I'll skin him alive."

"No need to be brutal," Camille chuckled and continue packing.

That same night, Camille and Mix took a flight to Phuket.
