Lim stood by the doorway of his apartment in KL, staring at the massive bouquet of red roses he had just picked up from White On White, known as one of the best florists in Malaysia for dramatic rose arrangements and same-day delivery. The bouquet was huge luxurious, bold, and impossible to ignore.
Exactly the kind of bouquet his younger sister deserved.
Yin had always been the star of the family bubbly, talented, and endlessly hardworking. But what people didn’t see was how much she struggled behind the scenes. As the eldest, Jian Hao watched her fall apart quietly during late-night exam stress, cry after job rejections, and push herself relentlessly just to make the family proud.
And every time she stood back up, he was there, not with big speeches, but with small acts of support. Fixing her laptop and paying for her textbooks when she was too shy to ask. Sending her food whenever she worked overtime. Taking the blame when she made mistakes as a kid.
He wasn’t a perfect brother… But he tried and Mei Yin always appreciated him, even when she didn’t say it. But last week, she said something that stuck with him.
“Thank you for everything. I wouldn’t be who I am without you.” He laughed it off then the words lingered. Today, she finally got the promotion she worked years for. Everyone congratulated her, but Jian Hao wanted to do something different. Something loud. Something that matched how proud he felt. So, he chose the boldest bouquet in the shop, a hundred red roses, wrapped in dramatic black. Not a romantic gesture, but a statement. His sister deserved something grand.
He drove home to Penang that evening. When he stepped into the living room, Mei Yin looked up from the sofa and froze. “Why is this bouquet so big?”
Lim placed it in front of her, trying not to smile too wide. “It’s for you.”
“For what? My birthday also not today!”
“For your promotion,” he said. “And for everything you worked for. I know it hasn’t been easy. But you did it.” Yin softened immediately. Her eyes glistened as she touched the petals gently. “This is too much.”
“No,” he said, shaking his head. “You gave your best. You deserve something big too.”
She blinked rapidly, overwhelmed. “You always support me, you know?”
“And I always will,” Lim replied. The roses filled the room with warmth passionate, strong, powerful. They represented pride, encouragement, and unwavering brotherly love. Yin stood up and hugged him tightly. “Thank you. Really.”
