As Dylan recalled yesterday, he was kidnapped by some unknown person while returning home from school. When he woke up, he saw himself in a dark room.

With a great plan, Dylan was finally able to get out of the dark room. But still, he was caught while trying to escape. The criminals are after him.

Until finally, he started to get cornered. There, he happened to find another room. He entered the room.

Inside, he saw several photos of human beings exposed on the wall. One of the pictures was on the faces of two people he knew. Then he also met other people who were not in good condition.

Instantly, a few questions popped into his mind. "Why are Takana and Irvan in the picture? And now, who is this man?"

The man asked Dylan for help. With kindness, Dylan helped save her. But after she had freed her ties, the man instead held her back with a few black tentacles coming out from her back. Instantly, Dylan could no longer feel his body.

Then, when he woke up again, Dylan was finally able to move his body again. How surprised he was when he saw his brother already in front of him. Then the new boy and Bell the forgetful boy were also nearby.

"What are they doing? And.., Takana was also with the man I saved earlier. Actually, who's that guy?"

Her brother said that he would explain all this to Dylan when he got home. But when he got home, Fely always changed the subject when Dylan asked about the events of the day.

Until the next day, Fely still did not tell. At this time, the man he had just met was living in his house. Who exactly is he?

Chapter 16: [Tanaka Utsuki. ]

****

Today is Sunday. Dylan's gonna be up a little longer. Currently, the time shows at 7 am. His alarm clock fell on his head and woke him up. Dylan did wake up a little, but he fell asleep again until noon.

But when he wanted to sleep again, he suddenly felt like urinating. It was cold this morning. Dylan turned off the AC in the room and got out of bed.

"Aw!"

Dylan stepped on the person under his bed. As he glanced down, he was surprised. Apparently, the person who was stepped on was the male twin of Takana.

Dylan immediately lifted his foot back onto the bed. Then quickly, the man woke up and looked straight into his eyes.

"Ma–maf!" said Dylan slowly.

"Ah, it's okay. Next time, be more careful, huh?"

After he said that, the Takana twin went back to sleep. Dylan shakes his head. As the Takana twin said that, her face looked flat, but her mouth smiled slightly. That broad right eye, he covered it with his white hair.

"Huh, stop. I can't stand it anymore! I want to pee!"

Dylan ran to the bathroom. Stirring kebeletnya, he forgot to close the door of the room. But Takana's twin closed the door when Dylan was gone. He closed the door with his black tentacles.

****

"Huh, the leg...." Dylan muttered as he exited the bathroom. Then after that, he would re-enter his room to sleep.

The situation inside the house is still very quiet. Everyone else was still asleep in their room.

"Dylan? Are you awake?"

Looks like one of the residents of the house has already woken up. It was the voice of his older brother Dylan coming from the kitchen. Dylan walked towards the kitchen and said his brother.

"What do you want now?" ask Fely. He was sitting on a chair in front of the refrigerator. Drinking cold milk.

"You're sleeping again. What are you doing, brother?" ask Dylan back.

Fely took a little sip of her milk, then he replied, "With milk in front of the refrigerator."

Dylan frowned at me. "Why do I have to be in front of the refrigerator? What, the AC in my sister's room why?"

"damaged. Hehe .... Cause .. I don't know. The point in my sister's room is hot."

"Yes, I guess, if in my sister's hot room, that means a lot of strange creatures that settled there. Ouch...."

"Hey! Why bengong? He said he'd go to sleep again."

Dylan jerks. "Eh! Oh yea. Ah, stop!" He turned around, then walked to his room again.

When he got to the door, he opened the door. The door's a little jammed. Because, when pushed, the door was hard. Like something was under it.

Dylan stuffed his head into the slightly open doorway. He also glanced down. It turned out that the one who stuck the door was the black tentacle of the man.

"It's so annoying! Uh, but by the way, you already know not yet, huh? If this guy has strange powers. Oh yea! I'll just stir it up!"

Slowly, Dylan closed the door again. Then after that, walk quickly without the sound of a leg stomp. He went back to the kitchen.

While in the kitchen, he saw Fely still in the same position as before. He leaned his head in front of the freezer while drinking milk.

Dylan called out his name in a slow tone. "Sister Fely."

Fely look. "Dylan? What's up again?"

Dylan did not make a sound. He shook his hand. With a signal that the woman should approach him. "Here, here!" Dylan whispered.

Fely shook his head. He got out of his chair and walked towards Dylan. "Why?"

"Follow me a minute. I have something to tell you!"

Dylan walked slowly back to his room. Fely followed him from behind. They sneaked cautiously towards the room.

In front of the door, Dylan opened the door slowly. He tells Fely not to be noisy. After opening the door slightly, Dylan immediately pointed towards the inside.

"What's in your room?" asked Fely while whispering.

"In there, the sleeping man has black tentacles like an octopus" replied Dylan softly. "He used those tentacles to prop up this door."

Fely turned his head again. "Huh? Tentacles? A black? But there's no loh!"

"Eh?"

Dylan's surprised. "There's no way those tentacles disappeared, right? I pushed back on my door. Eh? The door can be opened completely without any lopsides.

"Real true! The tentacles no longer exist. Isha! That guy must've hidden it again so it wouldn't be seen by my brother. Shit!"

"What the hell, Dylan? Ah, stop!" grutter brother. The woman walked back to the kitchen. "Is he upset with me? I don't know. But right now, I also feel annoyed at that man!" inner Dylan.

Never mind, he wants to go back to sleep until noon.

****

"Dylan! It's lunch time! Banguun!"

"Nh?"

Dylan heard his brother's screams. He opened his eyes and turned his body and got out of bed. Then, before leaving the room, he saw Beker's clock first.

Time shows at 11. It's almost noon. "I slept for a long time. Ah, stop it," Dylan just walked out of the room. In the little bed there was no man with a tentacle.

Dylan was again furious. The man was not like the diligent Takana. The man did not clean his bed. The blanket was messy and the mattress had not been put into place. Fortunately, Dtlab was kind. So he folded the blanket back and put the mattress under the bed.

"Dylan! Getup! Let's eat first!"

His sister screamed again.

"Yes! Yepyahoo!" Dylan nodded in annoyance.

After tidying up the blanket and mattress, he immediately walked out of the room.

Dylan walked into the kitchen. It turned out that there was Takana at the dinner table with the man. Dylan had a cold face.

Before joining them to eat together, he will go to the bathroom first to wash his face. After that, he just sat in his place.

Food is available on the table. After praying together, they ate the food together. Brother cooked Dylan's favorite meal today. Shrimp oyster sauce. "That's why she's so nice to me today, what's the tambet, anyway?"

"Oh, yeah, so..., how's the cooking taste?" ask Fely.

Dylan didn't know who Fely was asking. He glanced into his eyes. Fely's eyes were staring at Takana's twin.

The man answered. "It's so delicious. Thank you!" The man smiled.

Then Takana looked at his twin. "Oh yeah, Onii-chan is feeling better?"

"Eh? Onii-chann?" Dylan jerks.

The man nodded with a smile. "Yes! Very good." The man glanced at Dylan. "Thank you, yeah!"

Dylan was back. Then he just nodded to answer her words.

Dylan was silent again. But he's still curious. Who exactly is that guy? He did not like it when it was being attacked by curiosity. "In that case, right now, I will dare to try asking."

"Anu..., if you may know, who are you, huh?" Dylan began to throw his question at the man before him.

"Oh yes. I haven't introduced myself, have I?" He smiled at Dylan. "Include me, my name is Tanaka Utsuki! I'm Takana's sister."

Dylan's surprised. "What did he say? 'sister'? My guess all along was right! That man is Takana's real brother! And..., for some reason, I can't tell them apart! Not because of their faces and shapes. But, their names!"

"Takana with Tanaka? Hmm..., it just seems to be behind the letter 'N' with 'K' only, huh? It might be so."

"I didn't know Takana had a sister. You never said it before." Dylan ended his thoughts inwardly. Then unintentionally, his eyes glanced at Takana.

Takana smiled at him while closing her eyes. He laughed a little. "Yes, because I haven't seen him in a long time. Long time!"

"Where did your brother go until you never met him?" ask Dylan again. He was very curious.

"Hmm.., because of her..., I don't know! He said he wanted to leave. But, he never came back. And when we met again, it was a mess. He's hurt bad. And he said, Dylan-san was the one who saved Onii-chan! Arigato." Takana.

Then he sipped water in his glass. After that, Takana opened his mouth again. "Ah, yes, Dylan-san? Where can Dylan-san find my brother?"

Dylan shook his head slowly. "Eitherway. I saw him in a closed room inside that big house yesterday. There, your brother's body is like it's stuck on a wall. His body was held back by the ropes that bound his body.

"But that's not all I saw in that room.... I also saw a picture of you Takana. Also, there's a photo of the new boy named Irvan! Not only Takana and Irvan, but there are other photos as well. Everyone in the picture has blue eyes."

Dylan explained too much. His mouth was getting tired of talking. Ua glanced back at Takana. He's surprised. Everyone stared hard at him. They expressed tense faces and looked shocked.

"A–ada ap–"

BRUISES!

"ACH!"

Takana pushed Dylan's body until the man fell off the chair. Then, the black tentacles from Tanaka protruded towards him and directly tied his body. Then his own brother held his feet on the floor.

"A–what did they do to me?!"

"Tell us. Where's the room with that many photos?!" ask the three of them at the same time.

"Eh?!"
