Family
Although they stayed there for dinner, it’s only half-past eight in the evening. And to save time, everyone left together making our first destination the nearby train station.
This time, even though I offered to come with them and send them home one by one, they united to reject that proposition. They urged me that it’s enough to accompany them until their platform and bus stop.
Even if I tried to insist on walking at least one group home, it’s like they talked about it already as they simultaneously gave me a cold shoulder until I eventually gave up.
As for their reasoning, they refused to tell me and just answered that I should take a rest sometimes and not push myself further.
That’s naturally a lie, of course.
If I have to guess... they’re being considerate of me again.
My parents had just arrived from overseas after months of absence. They wished for me to spend some time with them and catch up on what I missed.
