Cecile was staring intently at the television, watching the live show, she was overwheld when Shawn ca on the stage.
"He has my eyes..." she murmured, "and he is so handso, just like Ryu."
"Yes he look more like you hon." Karl comnted and hugged her.
They both were overjoyed to see their eldest son who looked so much like his younger brother.
Inside the house everyone introduced themselves to each other.
"We’ve t again big..." Dean paused as he was almost caught up then continued, "oh you have a big luggage." He said instead, he looked at Shawn then at his luggage.
Shawn arched an eyebrow and said, "Don’t we all have the sa luggage?"
Dean scratched his head. It’s his sis-in-law’s fault for always reminding him to practice calling Shawn Big Bro.
"We haven’t formally been introduced... Call Ryu." Said Ryu and offered his hand to Shawn for a hand shake.
Shawn was hesitant but he accepted Ryu’s hand...
"This is really weird... I an, looking at you two together... Though I know you’re not related but why do I feel that you two look so much alike," comnted Bernard.
Other housemates mumbled in agreent.
"They are rival companies though. We all know SL Group is competing very hard with RK Holdings." Randall said nonchalantly.
The commotion was interrupted by the voice of Zeus.
"Good evening CEOs. Welco to my house. I am Zeus and the Ruler of this house. I would request all the housemates to follow the rules and regulations as set by in the house and participate wholeheartedly in each and every activity that is given. Evictions will begin from next week and so I suggest all of you to give your best in each activity. Tonight, your challenge will begin..."
Then the wide screen television opened where they could read instructions.
"What? We need to share rooms? Four of us in one room?" Gaby, the CEO of FlashEx, exclaid.
[There are three rooms available. Each rooms has different designs and size. Big, dium and small. You can take a look at each room first to see for yourself. You need to do the challenge so you can choose rooms of your choice. The challenge is very simple and whoever finishes the challenge first will get to choose their rooms. So CEOs good luck!]
"Are you kidding ? What are we? Toddlers?" Dean blurted out as he looked at the twelve boards with scrambled puzzles.
The fastest to complete the jigsaw puzzles and hang it on the respective wall will get to choose rooms of their choice.
"Well this looks fun." Jas, the CEO of D&K, comnted with a smile.
Zeus: "Alright CEOs position yourself in front of each puzzle and on my mark start solving it. You may think it’s easy but let tell you... that’s the worst puzzle you’ll be able to play your whole life..."
Ryu quickly positioned himself at Shawn’s right side.
"Hey Doc Rui can we swap places please? I want to stay close to my big bro.... I an big bro Ryu." Dean said as he pushed Rui to position himself on Shawn’s left and the latter did not mind.
"Big Bro let’s finish first and get the biggest room!" Dean comnted loudly.
Shawn stared at him with a blank face.
Dean scratched his head and said, "Geez its too long to say Big Bro Ryu. But if you like I’ll call you also Big Bro Shawn since you’re older than ."
"Dean stop joking around and concentrate on the puzzle..." Ryu scolded.
Zeus: "Alright CEOs on your mark, ready, set, BEGIN!"
Then the tir appeared in the large screen.
Dean quickly put the pieces together...
He was confident they will get the biggest room because his Big Bro Ryu was good in puzzle solving and so was he.
Ryu could easily complete the puzzle but he did not.
Instead, he looked at Shawn from ti to ti...
’He’s like dad...’ He thought inwardly with a grin.
Ryu and his mom were good at solving puzzles like this but his dad Karl was really bad at it, and his big bro Shawn seed to be having a hard ti, just like their dad, in putting all the pieces of the puzzle in right place.
"Big bro what are you doing? I want the big room. Co on and hurry up with that puzzle as I’m almost done." Dean said as he continued.
"I’m done!" Gaby shouted as he posted the complete puzzle.
Zeus: "Alright Gabby go to your chosen room."
Gaby quickly chose to enter the biggest room.
"Done!" Rui said and like Gabby he went in the biggest room.
Dean paused... He could sense that his big bro Ryu was intentionally slowing down.
He scrunched his face and raised his eyebrows as he looked at Shawn.
’Geez can we at least get that dium room!’ He wanted to voice out.
"Dean, find all the edge pieces first..." Ryu said intentionally for Shawn to hear.
"Yeah... I’m done and now sorting the colors." Dean answered enough for Shawn to hear.
The big room was completely occupied by now as Randall and Denver already finished and chose the biggest room too.
Shawn was really slow in solving the puzzle. When he started getting the way to solve it by then even the dium room was starting to fill up.
Luke, the CEO of Moon Inc. first entered the dium sized room after finishing his puzzle, who was then followed by Xian, the CEO of Golden Life.
Dean sighed, there’s no more hope. They will have to share the small room only now.
"Dean find those special pieces with features and pay close attention to the shape. We’ll finish soon." Ryu said simply.
Dean wanted to burst out in laughter already as he looked at the confused look of Shawn.
Anyone could tell how much he was disliking solving this puzzle.
"Geez, big bro why are you so like your father... I an uncle Karl, very slow in solving puzzles. You see I’m almost done. I’m just stalling ti because I want to experience to live in a small room!" Dean said irritably.
"You Kens, you both are so noisy... God I can’t concentrate enough." Marty, CEO of Tsuo Cars, complained as he finished and entered the dium room.
Marcus, CEO of D&K Oil and Gas was the last to enter.
"Okay I’m done. Dean no matter what happens, don’t give up and complete that puzzle! I will go first in your dream small room." Ryu said laughing. He knew Dean was irritated.
Shawn and Bernard was competing to who will be the slowest.
Dean looked at Ryu with begging eyes but Ryu stared at him with his big eyes saying, ’Stay and wait for Big Bro to finish. You wanted to get evicted early right?’
’Geez I want to rest early too. When are you going to finish?’ Dean mused as he stared at Shawn who was about to finish.
"Done!" Bernard exclaid and before he entered the room he looked at Dean and said, "I don’t mind you two Kens talking at all. I hate solving puzzles and this is the first ti I have completed one in my whole life and that’s simply because I listened to both of you."
Dean smiled wryly... "No problem flower boy. I’ll talk a lot and be totally annoying so that you vote for to get evicted soon." Dean added.
And when Shawn finished, he wanted to jump of joy.
He quickly completed his puzzle and looked at the cara, "Baby, wait for ... It’s only one week and I’ll go ho soon! Those watching, don’t vote for okay?!"
Zeus: "CEO Dean it is against the rules of the house to convince people for your eviction. Please stop saying that or else you will receive punishnt. This is your first warning! Go now to your room and rest!"
"Hmmp sly Zeus. I don’t even know the violation I did and I already got the first warning?" Dean murmured.
Zeus: "I heard you CEO Dean. You are not allowed to plug for you not to get votes."
"Alright Zeus, guys you heard that so whenever I say vote for think of it as the opposite request... So guys vote for !"
Butler Omni was laughing so hard as he watched the television in the library with Elder Ken.
"I can bet... Dean will win that show for sure." He comnted.
Elder Master Ken did not respond.
He was watching his grandsons playing ga together. He was especially touched by the way Ryu handled the situation. Dean was like he always behaved and Shawn, looking at Shawn reminded him of Karl’s confused and irritated looks whenever he was given any puzzle to solve.
His looks were very much like Cecile but he was more like Karl in his attitude. He wondered, of all the things he would inherit, why would he take his father’s poor ingenuity.
