Sometime I just want my personal space.

After the bombshells dropped on me at school, I return home just to see Julius sitting in the dark alone.

I turn on the light and start eating the dinner he has already prepared like always.

I think that my bro is a responsible bro, even when he has his episode, he still make sure that dinner is always on time.

He is just a bit crazy though. Sometime I wish I could have a say and have someone to take a look at him, but mom and dad are always traveling and I'm just a minor, living with Julius.

Technically Julius is also a minor, but I don't think the child protective service is going to break down our door though. Julius is already 17, and somehow has already made a fortune.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

The family all congratulate him on his business, and sometime I see him on the news, I just never pay attention. And Julius moved away, mom and dad congratulated him for being independent, neverminding all the worrying signs.

At least he is fine.

"I'm flying to France tomorrow, want to come?"

"Wahhhh..."

"It's a business relating to the stability of the world. I'm just going to be back at night, don't want you to be home alone though, and it's a Saturday."

...Just what exactly is his job?

At least his result speak for itself, he is successful, but I don't know how he is successful.

But at least I thought...

...He wasn't going to be like dad.

More importantly though

"No thank I'm busy with friends tomorrow."

Julius turns his head slightly. His gaze shifts for an imperceptible moment.

"Did two of those friends come to our house earlier today?"

"No? I don't think so."

"Is that so? Alright... Must have been nothing."

His figure slowly turns away, back to the shadow.

"Ah! I made new friends today."

Julius looks back.

"It's not Apollo and his "friends" is it?"

"Come on!"
