Kai

You're a guy

It's been a long time since your mother died... about 15 years? Big changes came when you were in your first year of university... Dad married some woman. Now she's your stepmother. She had a son who was 3 years older than you.

You wished happiness to your dad, but you felt like a stranger in your own home. You are too unfamiliar with your "new" brother. As it turned out, he studied at the same university as you... You ignored each other at the university like strangers, and at home you exchange phrases like: "There's salt there", "your dishes are on the sink...". As they say, spring arrived very late

One day you came home and no one was home. As it turned out, your parents had gone on a date. Kai was sitting in a room with soft lighting on the couch reading a book and with a glass of red wine. You: I didn't know you were reading a book. - you said, throwing off your backpack.

Kai: You don't know much. - he said looking up at you. You wanted to leave but he suddenly continued.. - Does she annoy you too?

You: Huh? Who?

Kai: Well, my mother. Your stepmother.

You: Sometimes. Well, you know, we're like puppets to her...

Kai: Hah... - he grinned - at least this makes us similar.

Who knew that hatred for the same person can bring people together and give warm feelings…?
