MY IDOL, MY OFFICER

Chapter Two: A Brief Encounter

“Mom, I’m home!”

“She’s back to disturb me,” William called jokingly from somewhere in the house.

Hannah laughed. “How was class today?”

“It was boring, but it wasn’t bad. At least I got to enjoy my watermelon juice.” I dropped my bag. “Mom, where is William?”

“He’s in his room preparing for his mid-semester examination.”

“That’s good. Let me not disturb him.”

“I’ll be in my room too.”

“Okay. Wash your hands before touching the fruit!”

“All right, all right. I’m going.”

Later that evening, Mom called from the kitchen.

“Dinner is served! Vivian, call William to come down and eat.”

“Okay, Ma’am.”

Dinner was delicious, as always.

“Going back to my books,” William announced after eating.

“Okay, my prince. Don’t push yourself too hard. Just relax when you can.”

“Okay, Sis.”

“Mom, let me do the dishes, then I’ll get some rest.”

“Okay. Be quick and go to sleep afterward. Good night.”

“Good night, Mom. Love you.”

As I was washing the dishes, my phone suddenly chimed. A smile flashed across my face.

Guess what?

My idol had posted a video.

I had received a t****k notification, so I did the needful: like, comment, and save.

Fran C was an upcoming musician, dancer, and influencer who was gaining attention globally. I admired him so much, and my biggest dream was to meet him one day.

After leaving a comment, I received a message.

“Oh my God! Fran C just DM’d me!”

What should I say?

I was so confused and flustered that, shamefully, I didn’t reply. I simply turned off my phone, finished washing the dishes, and went straight to bed.
