Chapter eleven

Miran preferred to walk home from school ever since he got older, he didn’t like for his mother to pick him up anymore and he especially would not like for Soran to ever pick him up either. He would hate it if anyone assumed Soran to be his ‘dad’ and he wouldn’t want to bother explaining that he’s not his dad, but his dad’s brother who’s present in his life because he’s in a committed relationship with his mother. He wanted to keep this mess away from his outer life, his family business belonged in the home and he wouldn’t want it to ever get out to anyone else.

Frustration consumed Miran as he made his way home after receiving a detention from his teacher for messing up in class. All he wanted was to get back and compensate for the wasted time by immersing himself in video games using the TV in the parlour. The last thing he was going to do was to be bothered with schoolwork, especially for a teacher who had held him back and yelled at him.
