We're at home, preparing for dinner. Well, Rebecca, not me as she doesn't let me enter the kitchen again even if I just want to grab a glass of water! I don't know that she can be this fierce but, what makes it even more worse is that Erika is allowed to help her! And she shows passion when doing it! Why're you doing this to me, Erika? *Fake sobs* My own sister did this to me.
"Stop overreacting, big bro. I'm just helping her prepare dinner. It's not like I never help you before." What the hell is she saying? Of course, it's important!
"Yeah, you're right. But, it's not the same! When you help me, you didn't even show any passion yet when you're with her, you show it! With a happy smile! This is not fair." Okay, I know I overreacted but I don't care. I'm starting to regret introducing my sister to Rebecca but how do I gonna know if these two click together like a best friend!? ...*Sigh* I need to stop.
"Okay, okay, stop it you two, and why are you acting like a child, Kai-san? Your younger sister is acting more mature than you." ... ...Why? Just... why? Why are you asking that question? You know how I normally act yet you ask me that question! I always act like my age all the time, this moment is the only time I act like a kid. *Sigh*
I decide to just let them do their work while I sit on the couch and play with my phone. I set down on the couch and notice a message from Rena who ask for my regards about my daily life, so I tell her everything that happen today except for a certain moment that doesn't need to be mentioned. Judges on her texts, she looks like she's happy hearing about my daily life and she says that she can't wait to meet me at the convention soon. I can't wait, too!
"Big bro, the dinner is ready and stop grinning at your phone. It looks weird. I know who you text, don't try to hide from me." Sometimes I wonder whether she is truly my sister or not because of the harsh comments she has been throwing at me. Every time she opens her mouth, it'll always somehow hurt me straight through my heart.
"Fine." I get up and walk to the table and see that everything is fully prepared with everything we need. What is served on the table is her country's traditional food which is Poutine consisting of a rich, peppery gravy generously ladled on hot fries and topped with 'squeaky' cheese curds, Tourtiere, stuffed to the brim with game meat, veal, beef, or pork, and sprinkled with earthy spices and herbs, and Split Pea Soup, studded with chunky pieces of celery, carrots, and ham, and seasoned with thyme for dessert. That's what she tells me though. I've tried the breakfast version but now is the dinner version. Uuuh, I can't wait to try this!
Then, we all dig in. It takes just 20 minutes for us to devour all of it and now our stomach is full. I thank her for the delicious food and take all the dishes to wash them. While I'm doing that, she gonna takes a shower and warns me not to peek at her. I told you it was an accident! Of course, she just teasing me but still. Whatever. Erika is going to her room but when I ask her what she's gonna do in her room, she does not answer me and ignores me. Wha...
Realizing that I can't do anything, I go straight to my room and just sleep. I know that I should take a shower first but I'm too lazy and tired to do that. So... yeah. Goodnight!
Tomorrow morning.
My alarm is ringing like crazy at 6 am because I need to wake up early to go to the gym and do everything I have to do since these two days, I always eat and eat from morning to night. I need to control myself if I want to protect the people I care about. After I've done at the gym, I quickly go back home to take a shower and prepare breakfast. All of it takes me an hour and a half to complete my morning, wow!
After we've done having breakfast, Erika goes to school while Rebecca and I go to find a place for her to stay since she can't always spend nights at my house. Well, she can but she doesn't want to because she's used to living alone, so she feels a bit weird when she lives with other people. I can't say anything about that.
I browsed the Internet if there are any available houses or apartments that she can rent to live in. There are a lot though but most of it is quite expensive even though we're not in the main city which has the highest price for a unit of an apartment. I ask her if she wants me to pay part of the rent but she rejects the idea, saying that I've been helping her a lot for the past two days and she doesn't want to feel in debt to anyone. As I said before, I can't say anything about that. She has good traits, though.
Then, we ask around if anybody has or knows anyone that owns an empty house and wants to rent it. There are a few, actually but most of them already have people living inside, so we can't accept them. So, we go to the apartment area to see if there are any available units that she can rent.
We start with the first one. It looks good and the facility here is also in great condition but sadly, it is full already. Then, we go to another one, this one is in horrible condition with all the scraped paint, the black thingy coming out of the ventilation, and much more. How can people live in a place like this!? So, we reject this one because of obvious reasons.
Now, we're at the final apartment. This one is... okay, the facility is kinda fine and the paint still looks... beautiful? I don't know how to describe it but that's how it is. There are still a lot of empty units available for rent but she looks hesitating a bit, maybe because she doesn't know if this place is okay for her.
I tell her that we still can look at other places if she wants to. We can put this apartment into the possible place to stay list in case she decides to stay here. She nods, agrees with my idea, and proceeds to write it down on her phone. Then, we continue the place hunting.
