Confession Letter?

That's the end of it. I went back and I expected everyone to be in the living room. And I was right. Father and mother are watching the television while Sean is sitting there drinking his tea.

"Welcome back, Mister Charles. You didn't tell us you were going out."

"Sorry. I was craving some spicy noodles."

…

All of them look at me except Sean who seems to not know anything.

"But you can't eat spicy food, right?"

"Obviously I only put a few drops of that spicy sauce. I can handle four drops now."

The father is laughing while the mother is sighing at their son's stupidity. I am aware it is wasting but cut me off some slack for this. I proceeded to sit next to Sean and Helena pour a cup of tea for me.

'Buzz'

~~

J: Good night brother in law.

C: what the f*ck.

F: He's crazy for your brother. I am scared of him

J: Aren't you the same :p

F: Fck off. I am not interested in anyone. I am fine with sleeping

~~

"Sean. James said good night."

"A-ah. Good night to him…as well?"

We heard a small laughter from my mother and both of us stared at her in confusion. What's so funny that she had to laugh? It's rare for her to laugh. It's really creepy to me sometimes.

"I haven't seen James in a while. Out of nowhere he sends a good night wish for Sean instead of you?"

"He's playing favourites, I swear." I told her and gave it a long sigh.

This tea is sweet.

"So, you two. What about helping your father at work this Saturday?"

"O-oh. Um, sure."

"No thanks. I want to sleep."

A sigh came from my father. Look, I don't do business, it is not my thing. If I do it, I might as well change my name from Charles to Charlie.

"Really, how do I have faith in leaving the company to you in the future?"

"Just don't leave it to me. Or." I look at my brand new younger brother.

"Just adopt him for the rest of our life and let him take over."

The complete disappointed look the three of them shot at me is something I do not expect. I mean, shouldn't my parents act like "That's not a bad idea" and shouldn't Sean act all shy like "N-No! I don't think I am that great…"

Is it not supposed to be like that?

I thought I knew everyone.

Guess not.

"Brother, you know how much father believes in your ability."

"Let's talk again next time. I am tired."

With that, I ended the conversation and went upstairs. I enter my room and straight up jump on my bed. This fluffy bed is gonna be the death of me. I need more beds. One is not enough. I want to roll on a lot of beds until I am tired and then I fall asleep.

"Right. Before I dream of that life, I better revise everything I have fallen behind before the exam chapter."

I went to check my books and believe it or not, even if I understand some of it in my previous life, because of how much sleep I got, I have forgotten half of it. I need to refresh my brain with a little exercise.

"Since tomorrow is this six subject…I should start with these six."

That night was the first time I stayed up to study in this world.

~~

"Mister Charles. You're early."

I was getting myself a cup of water but bumping into Helena? She was supposed to be up at 4 am to prepare everything— Is it already 4? Helena watches as I look at my empty wrist and then look at the walls.

"It's 4 am already?!"

"S-sir? Did you not know about it?"

The way she examined me makes me a bit nervous.

"Your hair is still looking good. Did you..stay up?"

~~

Everyone slowly wakes up one by one. While having breakfast, I felt my eyes burning. Probably because of the lack of sleep. I think I will have pimples soon because of this one time thing.

"Sir. Should I brew some coffee?" Helena asked with a concerned face.

"Did you stay up?" My mother is sharp at everything happening in this house.

"Yes. I thought I was gonna revise some subjects before sleep but before I knew it, the time was already 4 am."

Surely this family is thinking something is wrong here. Why am I studying so suddenly and there's no way I just skip sleeping. Well, I don't want to be dumb despite this being a world of fanfiction.

I want to maintain decent marks.

~~

"Good morning Charles! Sean!" James wraps his hand around Sean and me but I manage to dodge and go to my desk to sleep.

"M-morning."

"Good…morning." I don't care who that is.

"Yo, Franz. You sound tired."

"I…saw some scary fight last night and some of them are still nearby."

"What are you saying? Nothing makes sense."

By that, he means he saw ghosts fighting and some of them still followed him. I don't know why but I heard his table being moved and I guess he dropped his head on the table. He's exhausted. I can sense it.

"Did you two plan this last night? Being tired together?"

I couldn't even answer him because I had to catch some sleep before class started. I feel my body finally relaxing and all I can say is, I regret studying. Few minutes after that, both me and Franz woke up. He still feels tired but I did this multiple times already in my previous life.

Sleeping a little still can give me a lot of energy.

"Hey." I saw Sabrina standing in front with a confused face.

"Mhm?"

"Rianne said her classmate wrote this but she had given this to you without the girl knowing." She said as she pulled out a paper that was folded into a small square.

"What is it?"

The world suddenly froze.

"I guess it's true that you act differently and can change some parts but this plot is still going."

"What's the plot? I thought we're almost reaching the exam chapter."

"Well, before the exam chapter…a girl confessed to Charles. He rejected her upon seeing Sean was watching secretly. This is the confusing part. In the fanfic, the girl who always stuck up to Rianne is supposed to confess to you but this is…different girl."

I stare at the note and dismiss her for now. Not that I have to think much about this. I will reject the girl. I don't even think anyone can change my mind when it comes to love.

It's disgusting to be honest.

The fact that this girl likes me…

Made me feel weird.

'Dear Mister Cha— Char— Hello there!

I don't know if I can do this but here I am. I wrote this—

I am writing this to—

I wanted to tell you something. I hope I can meet you at class 3 at 1:40 pm on Thursday.

Yours tru—

Your secret admirer.'

I guess she doesn't intend to give this letter to me considering how many words she cancelled. But she did plan to meet me this Thursday to confess, I guess. She must've been nervous when she found out this letter was gone. Besides, Rianne tried to help her deliver this to me.

If only Rianne knew this letter was not written beautifully.

"Good morning class."

"Sean. Can you go back home alone today?" I whisper because the teacher has arrived.

"Alright."
