Guilt Trip

Just another day with many chores to do. I'm getting more and more lazy because of them people who keeps on telling me to do this and to do that. That craps really getting on my nerves.

Oh, right! Just so you know, my favorite boyband, BTS, who literally saved my life through their music and a food chain that's known globally have already released their food collaboration! I often see my co-ARMYs posting pictures about the meal on every social media that I have and they're making me jealous. So what did I do? Oh, I just made a deal with my mom that we'll be splitting the payment for the meal.

And then reality hit me hard while I'm sweeping the floor when...

"Ella, after you sweep the floor, go wipe the windows down here while your younger sister wipes the windows upstairs."

Said father while he's standing at the kitchen. What a great way to ruin one's mood.

"Yes, father."

I answered as I continued on sweeping the floor for I am almost done.

I really hate chores. No, I despise chores whenever someone told me to do it. I am not your maid to just give orders to me whenever you want to.

I quickly gathered all the dirt from the floor into the dustpan and put it away to the trash. Such a freaking clean freak.

After I put back the broom and dustpan, I obeyed father's orders without mumbling how much I hate it. I need to compose myself for today or I won't be able to have that meal. You must endure it self.

"In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, amen."

Said father as we finished praying. The three of them places foods on their plates as I waited quietly for them to finish. What a family we are.

"After eating, one of you must also sweep the fallen leaves outside."

Said father before he fed himself while looking at me and my younger sister.

"What time will you and mother leave today, father?"

Asked my younger sister to father as she looks at him. I can't wait for the both of you leave the house, even if it was only for a little while.

"After lunch. One in the afternoon. Why?"

Said father to my younger sister after he swallowed the food he's chewing.

"Nothing, father."

Answered my younger sister and began to fed herself. If only I have the courage to run away from here...

The four of already us finished eating lunch and here I am wiping the table clean while my younger sister is washing the dishes. Mother's now upstairs having a shower while father's down here sitting at the couch while watching television.

After a little while, both of them already left. Me and my younger sister are the only ones left here in the house without two pet dogs.

"I'll be the first to bath."

Said my younger sister while she's now using her phone and sitting on the couch.

"Fine. You go first. But make it quick!"

I answered to my younger sister as I typed the next words on the laptop to continue with the story that I'm writing.

"Okay, okay."

And that 'okay' was a scam. I finished dressing up at 5 in the evening and that's when mother and father came back.

At first, me and my younger sister was disappointed because they told us that they could buy the meals we wanted for there're a lot of people buying it. But then later on, mother made us do the things we've done earlier again, and this time, she took a picture of us cleaning.

I know that they'll surprise us. Most surprises were just like this. After that, mother goes out of the house. Psh. What a way to make themselves a pair of good parents, they're not even interested in knowing what are the things we like nor why we like what we like.

A few minutes later, while I was acting like I didn't have a clue... Mother goes back into the house with the meals both me and my younger sister wanted. I jumped because of happiness and excitement while my younger sister had a huge smile on her face.

"Your father bought this for the both of you because it's Father's day tomorrow. What will you say?"

Said mother to me and to my younger sister as she takes a picture of the meals that she placed nicely on the table.

"Thank you, father."

Thanked both me and my younger sister to our father who's now sitting on the couch again. I should be thanking the one who bought me the meal I wanted even though he keeps on getting on my freaking nerves.

"Come now, come~! Let's take pictures of the four of us!"

Said mother as she taps the camera icon on her phone and happily gave it to my younger sister to hold and take a picture with it.

"Sweety, hurry up!"

Said mother to father in a sweet and gentle tone. Father, feeling important, made us wait for two minutes before he stands behind mother. I despise those kinds of people.

After taking pictures, we happily ate the foods that mother and father bought. We all shared the meals that they've bought for us and finished it quickly. I kept the packaging as a remembrance and both mother and father thought that it was foolish. F**k 'em.

A little while later, I was busy trying to finish a chapter for my story when father and mother decided to disturb me just to teach him how to update the apps again. When I tried to complain...

"We've already bought you a BTS meal and all you have to do is to teach your father how to update the apps again. You dare to refuse now?"

Said mother as she looked at me. You really used the thing that connects me with my saviors to force me to do it. Some f**king guilt trip right there.
