Man of my Dreams

Chapter 7

“Instead of focusing on your studies, you work. I can be a better brother. I am sorry. I want you to enjoy your life, little sister, but I want you to understand the circumstances that your travel can be dangerous. You're just a child, Alliana, for Pete's sake, Alliana, so, please. My god!”

“Goodness, will you just shut up, bro?” seriously, I say.

He stopped, and I heard him sigh. “Have you eaten good food there? Eat nutritious food, little sis!” Then he sighs again. He mumbled something. I know he is just worried.

“Tch, the volume is too much to say,” I whispered irritably.

I rested for a moment. I went upstairs and changed my clothes. After that, I went down again and went straight to the kitchen to get a muffin I bought in the morning. In the living room, I watched television. But even though I wasn't upset, my family called again. It's Vuego, my 5th brother.

“Mother is asking me if I talked to you crudely about the course you're going to take next school year. You're in school.” I just glanced over the cheese muffin. “I'm saying you don't have any aches mentioned in the 'family.”

“Great.” I focus on television.

“Don't you have a plan either? And at this point of the year, you should have already chosen! One year from now may be just what came to your mind, 'far off you take?”

“I previously conversed with mother and father about that, older brother Vuego,” I replied breathlessly. “You should abstain from eating desserts and beat your sugar habit; bro. Ryu told me you are gaining a lot of weight again. Let me remind you that Gaia doesn't like fat guys.” Gaia is the same age as mine, and Vuego is four years older.

“And you're too hot-headed! Attempt to take a bath lest it is reduced!” he replied

“Tch! I'm going to be a writer or content creator soon. Or maybe a graphic artist or psychologist or even architect,” I said while munching muffins that will serve as my dinner.

My brother and I are close. Bother we only really fight when they enforce their brotherhood. That's how I feel that between the eight of us, they have the authority. I don't want that. Even being childish is like that.

I was left in the parking garage when I watched a guy and probably his mother. I am currently buying some things for my streaming at the mall, and when I saw him. I did not have a clear picture of his face because he wore shades, masks, and bonnet. He dropped something. It is his wallet that is why I approached him.

“Hello,” I muttered.

He looked innocently at me. I frowned; not even the expression on his face changed. He remained blank while looking at me, not even wondering at my approach.

“I'm Alliana and uhm. Ah, this is your wallet, right? You drop it.” I held out my hand to him. I was so disappointed after he looked to either side, nodded, and left. He ignored me. He just nodded and grabbed the wallet.

Goodness. I was embarrassed to laugh to myself, peculiar. I have a good approach and appearance.

He didn't even bother to introduce himself. He also did not accept my introduction. He has no interest.

I was embarrassed to follow him with my gaze to the far end of the parking garage.

“V!” her mother called from behind as a reason to stop me from approaching the guy properly.

I sighed and turned to him. “Do you require anything?” he asked me.

“Nothing” I just saw him smiling and mumbled thank you

“Alright,” I smiled as well. “Bye.”

“Fare thee well!”

“You too,” I approached my booked uber. I was about to enter when the engine started in front of me. I just frowned.

While driving home, I never lost sight of the guy's look. I haven't seen him. But his voice sounds familiar. Zeal, I laughed at my embarrassment; I just circled it.

He didn't even introduce himself. My approach is good, but he seems to have a hard time speaking.

“Good evening, ma'am,” The waitress greeted me.

“Ma'am, what can I do for you,” she said upon guiding me to a table. I am in a formal restaurant, streaming. My content, for now, is mukbang in a fine and expensive restaurant. Of course, it is sponsored. I have a lot of viewers who requested it. Most of the viewer’s donate something to me, which is why I can have a lot of money. But that money can not last forever, though.

“I want a strawberry muffin, chocolate and nut cupcake, stale bread, fried mushrooms, burrito bowl, bhapa doi, chocolate custard, and a soda, please.”

I grew up helping my family. I will not leave the house. But I have a lot of experience in different kinds of things. And my parents and my brothers were with me on those. They are my only true friends.

“Hi, my beloved viewers, it's supper.” I happily said.

I put my camera across my face. I decided to sit in the most private spot of the restaurant. I wear an ebony black hair wig, a black halter top, and a black pencil cut skirt with black boots. Also, I paired it with a gold necklace, bangle, and bracelet. I have always been fascinated with jewelry, especially gold, because I can't afford diamonds or other precious stones.

Gold gives off an elegant and expensive aura. I buy jewelry because it is a good investment. When something happens, I can sell them. I always send money to my family, ranging from 7-15 thousand, every month. Still, they don't know what my job is. My job isn't illegal, and I hid it because it is a glimpse of my insecurities.
