"Happy birthday!! " A group of people greeted me as I was about to enter the room.
"Happy birthday to my dearest, most beloved, cousin; Yoshiro! " A girl with curly hair tied to a bun hugged me tightly.
"Come! Come! Blow out the candle! Hurry! " a grandma with white hairs sticking out her neatly combed pixie hair ushered to me with broken english.
I feel(?) my body come closer to the grandma (with a feeling of desire to hold her in a tight embrace). Finally reaching my destination, I blew out the candles shaped like the numbers 2 and 6.
"Happy 26th birthday, Yosh. Here, It's my gift for you" the girl from earlier, my 'cousin', snapped me out of my trance (Only now did I notice how I'd unknowingly get away from the grandma I was adamant on not letting go.). I shifted my body beside me to look at the girl that snapped me out of my blank-filled mind.
I saw the girl smile at me sweetly with a tinge of unsurpressed mischeif in her eyes. I looked down to what she was holding out to me.
It was a book. More precisely, a novel with out a proper cover, like how a novel from this era would usually have(with an art as its cover with the name of the title. The novel was more likely made out of a newly bought journal with only it's title written poorly at the cover).
{Young -illegitimate- Master} It was the novel's title; written with pink highlighter, the color chosen for the title complements the journal's plain black cover. In the corner of the book I notice a little cursive writing signed Eliza Ivy E. Nalazon; beside it wrote for: Yoshiro "Youngie" Eusapat
"Al! Hurry up! Stop spacing out and eat your food! We're gonna be late for the entrance ceremony! " My sister's voice quickly snapped me out of my daze. Right, I was spacing out.
"The entrance ceremony isn't that important anyway, let Al eat in peace; swallow your food properly, you're gonna choke yourself" this time, my older brother's was heard.
I watched as the two bicker back to back with each other.
What was that..? That- dream(?) from earlier...
"Al? Is something wrong? " kelsey worriedly snapped me from my trance (Again. I take note.).
I looked up to her and saw two faces before me, both of the two were staring at me worriedly.
Ah... Was I acting too off? What should I say?
"I'm fine... " as if reading their minds, I assured their worried thoughts away. Though, it didn't seem to work on them one bit. Thankfully, they didn't pry to it any longer. It seems like they sensed how I was feeling; as expected from them.
"Anyway, I heard there was this celebrity visiting the school today. Think it was because they were planning on enrolling there" Kelsey explained.
"So you're planning on going early to catch a glimpse on them? " I summerized for her.
She nodded and looked up at me. Then did I see her eyes- glowing...? I must've been imagining things...
"You know me so well, Al! As expected! "
Somehow, I can imagine her having a pair of dog ears sticking out of her raven hair and a tail wagging happily.I should find out what's making me feel unease later...
I took a bite of my food prepared by Kohei-nii in the kitchen for me as I assess my thoughts.
Kelsey, sensing that I'm not listening to her anymore, quieted down and continued eating her breakfast.
From the corner of my eyes, I see my younger sister peek her eyes at me, bothered by something."What's wrong?"
"Huh? "
"You've been spacing out since a while ago" She points her chopsticks at me, not minding the rude gesture she's doing.
I waved off her worry and lightly shook my head, "It's nothing, my head is just still a bit fuzzy"
"Ah, you must be tired from training all day and night yesterday. I told you not to exhaust yourself, you still have to drive Kelsey to her school" Kohei-nii butted in.
"Kohei's right, Al. Not only does this concern my schedule, but also your health! We get that you're working hard to get in the agency but if you don't take care of yourself mom and dad will do whatever is necessary to stop you from continuing your career" Kelsey cut Kohei-nii off.
"Oi, I said call me big brother! When will you learn to respect your elders? " I hear Kohei-nii sigh as he shuffles Kelsey's straightened hair.
"Maybe my fatigue is just getting to me... I'll just rest for now, sorry Kelse" I gave her a sheepish smile. I'll pay her back soon for being understanding.
"It's fine Al, you should rest more" Kelsey finished her food and went outside. Kohei-nii stood up from his seat to ruffle my hair and went to his room.
I sat still on my seat as I try to process the dream I suddenly got.
First, I dreamt in the perspective of someone- that I doubt is me- named Yoshiro Eusapat, otherwise known as "Youngie".
And this Yoshiro-guy has a cousin (probably a year older then Kelsey) who I assume is Eliza Ivy E. Nalazon(God, why is her name so long?). And Eliza, gifted Yoshiro a novel with the title 'Young-illigitamate-master'.
... Is that all I know...?
I don't know what the novel is about, I don't know what the novel's contents are, nor do I know anything about these two people.
I stare at the paper before me with uncertainty. I had gotten inside my room a few hours ago and got myself a notebook and a pen and wrote whatever it is that I remember from the memory earlier.
Should I try and uncover some more? Or maybe I'm just overthinking things and whatever that was- was just a dream.
Maybe I should just sleep it off and regard whatever this is as fatigue... Yea, sure. Maybe then, I'll be able to clear my head and continue training.
