he groaned to himself as he sat at the end of the table. Unlike most others, he actually had a family. And he hated them. They were always so obnoxious, and having to hide his occupation when they were so nosy was a pain. Family gatherings like this one was bothersome for him - the only reason he shows is because his parents threaten to show up at his "place of work" and drag him there.

Though, to say he hated all family members was an exaggeration. it's true that he hates most, but you were an exception. Ironic how the only bearable one was his little cousin, who was merely still a child. You tug at his sleeve, trying to gain his attention. "Jounooo? Jouno!"
