Chapter 4 - Day 23 - The Peace Offering

I am the most incompetent person in my life

No one in this world likes me not even my parents

My elder sister considers me a lazy and selfish bum

My younger sister calls me a creepy perverted sicko

I used to have a girlfriend but she broke off with me a month ago.

The room I say in was dark with some natural light filtering in through my closed window.

This place to me was paradise or a sanctuary to me a safe place from the outside world.

"Okay then now I shall stay in this room for the rest of my Life."

I said that and yet.....

Few days have passed

I actually went outside and a cake shop no less.

Wait wait wait why the hell am I doing this again.....oh yeah this cake shop contained a limited edition strawberry cream cake this is a collab of a well known girl-oriented anime.

Wait also I do not even know the show all that well why am I getting this again

Yeah this is stupid I should just go home...

I began to walk when I spotted someone order a cake of that and as I glance at that cake....

Few minutes have passed.

I let out a sigh.

Well I came all this way to buy a cake and I did anyways the internet said this was a cake that was ranked 9.52 by food critics.

I walked home while looking around for any familiar people around my surronding area now

"Huh? they are not home? oh well guess I get to actually eat this in the dining room instead of my sanctuary.

I set the table and prepared my meal, slicing a piece of cake for myself, getting a fork and knife, and using a paper plate because they might throw away any plate I will use anyways.

I grasped my fork, cut a small piece of my slice of cake, and then put it in my mouth.

Mmmmmm oh yes I agree this cake is creamy but not too sweet, the icing taste good, and the strawberries included make this creamy cheesecake great.

I wanted to have another slice but.....

Wait oh no no no

There was a memory that came back to me which was my elder sister mocking me when I ate a lot of servings of my twelveth birthday cake before.

"Hey if you eat to much you will be an ugly fat man ha ha ha!"

She even told her friends and they laughed at me.....wait oh crap they will notice the cake when they walk by.

Glacing at this whole cake maybe buying it whole instead of a slice was a tad too excessive

Who knows what they will say

"Ewwww look at you little brother you will become a fat disgusting boy I might not even acknowledge you as my brother."

"Big bro you will never get a girlfriend looking like as a matter of fact if you get a girlfriend I shall warn them of your filthy looks.....every girl will laugh at you!"

"Son.....you shouldn't harm your body after all I struggled for nine months just so you can live so you better repay me!"

I shuddered thinking about it.

Oh crap I got to do something about those otherwise they will annoy me for the rest of my life....well my life was shitty to begin with....but still what the hell do I do with a whole piece of cake.....wait just a minute.....that is it!

Later I went to my room and decided to watch some TV hoping this would be a good reward for what I went through today....sigh.

Few hours later the boy's family came back home and looked at the bento he left in the living room

His mother stared at it then....

"Wow he actually ate the lunch I made good he needs to be a healthy and strong boy.....oh my son."

He felt excited saying that to her husband.

Later now his elder sister stared at his room door with a concerned expression on her face

"Little brother I miss you when will you come out of your room....please come out I will apologize to you so please."

She mumbled and continued to stare at his door for a while.

Meanwhile his younger sister came and left a tray of food by his doorstep then she glance at her elder sister.

"Big sister when will brother come out.....I am not mad anymore with him shutting me away."

She then glance at the door and mumbled to herself in a melancholy way as if she were rejected by a boy she liked.

"Please come out and play please I am not mad anymore I forgave him so why."

His own father looked at his wife and kids and sighed

"That kid I hope he gets better soon I should visit him later."

He then put away his things and headed for the fridge and was shocked at what he saw there.

Later now his mother, his elder sister, and younger sister went to the dining room but found him looking at a large box with a note.

"What you got there dear?"

"This is a cake from our son."

""What!?"

They all let out an exagerrated yet genuine "huh" at the same time.

"He actually went out of his room?"

"When?! Why?! How?!"

"My dear son is going out of his room that is good!"

They made a fuss while staring at his closed door.

This weakling of a kid actually shut himself for a few days because of what happened.

His own dad then read the note out loud.

Hello My Dear Family.

I offer to you all a strawberry cheesecake to satisfy your taste and a payment to you for not evicting me from my room. So consider this gift a peace offering to you all. I am sorry for what I am so here.

Sincerely The Son

"He gave us cake?"

His mother could not believe it

His elder sister stared at the cake in awe then hesitantly took a slice and tasted it.

"Yum....this cake is delicious.....he gave us a delicious cake...."

The younger sister began to smile reading the letter

"Brother oh thank you so much but he did not have to word it as if we are making him pay to stay in his own house."

They all happily ate and his dad smiled.

"Well that son of mine I shall tell him they liked the cake."

The boy or son in question listened in and was relieved."

"Ohhhh good looks like they will not kick me out on the streets....well I locked the door just in case they come with weapons to force me out of the house and burn my things in here."

This young boy remained ignorant that the same people he thought hated him actually cared and admired him.
