To Want You

"Are you okay? You don't look so well."

I don't feel well alright. I feel like my intestines were take out, twisted and butchered and then placed back into my system. I think I'm starting to reek sweat from all the water that was made from my body due to anxiety and let's not even begin to mention how thirty I am right now. My throat basically feels like the Sahara dessert. I shouted a lot back there and I think i might end up not even having a voice tomorrow. This is obviously not good news from me.

Nathan lifts an eyebrow as he waits for my respond. When I shake my head, I realize how bad that idea was. I just game myself another reason to feel even more dizzy.

Holy mother of everything that's good.

What did I even do in my past like to deserve such treatment?

And even if I wanted to go home right now, I cant do that. I promised the boys today would be their day so yeah. I'll just have to wait until they're tired.

I wave my brother Nathan's words off like I wasn''t really bothered.

So maybe I may or may not want to barf right now because of that ride but at least Clever's happy.

I mean, he is literally jumping in happiness right now.

I give my brother Nathan a weary smile, hoping he doesn't see through the fakeness of my attitude.

The big bright had already risen to show its full glory, bringing a starry night sky. A group of stars with lazy eyes scattered around the moon.

"I'm fine. It wasn't even that bad." I then notice that someone's missing at my side. Immediet panic takes over my veins when I don't see Clever anywhere. "Where's Clever?"

Nathan gives me the look say says ' oh really'? to which I just responds by just frantically looking around.

Where on earth did that boy go? I feel my heart racing again as sweat begins to form on my hands.

I still don't see him. Holy crap. What do i do. "Did you see where clever went?"

Nathan casually lifts an arm and points towards a certain direction pointing with his fingers. I feel myself breathing properly when I finally catch the figure of my little brother, quickly quickly pacing up my steps and running up to him.

Mom would kill me if something were to happen to one of her boys after all. I don't even want to imagine what she'll do to me if one of them ends up getting lost.

"Don't run far away Clever. It's dangerous."

The boy nods his head. "Okay Noona."

"What should we ride next?"

"I don't know. But aren't you guys hungry? Is there something you want to eat?" I turn to Nathan but he shrugs to my question. I take that as a translation that he will be fine with whatever I end up choosing.

Well, then. I guess we will have to let the youngest amongst us choose.

"What do you want to eat Baby?"

"Pizza." He says and I ruffle his hair fondly. "Then pizza it is. Let's go."

This had to be the best and wisest choice Clever made all night long.

I was craving for pizza anyway. So its a win win situation for the both of us.

And so we start making our way to the Pizza Hut, arriving five minutes later.

"Pick anything you want, Baby."

Clever then points at a specific order. "I'll get this one."

After that, Nathan also orders one. He's more of a vegetable kind so that's what he orders. I decide to pick the same as Clever. Now before you go judging why I'm ordering one for each, probably saying the we won't be able to finish the pizza, we ordered slices instead of the whole thing. Again, you might assume the slices will be small, but the nice thing about this place, is that they don't give small slices that won't even fill your stomach. Their slices are huge. And basically just enough to fill us.

Pizza is the greatest cuisine in the world and my favorite food. I’d like to believe a majority of the world has had a pizza in some way or form. First, let’s focus on the taste. Depending on the toppings you choose, pizza can differentiate for everyone. It can be spicy if you add jalapenos, or choose to spread some red peppers over it. It’s hot, and succulent at the same time. It’s truly a wonderful taste when you take that first bite, and al the flavors of the sauce, cheese, and seasoning go rushing towards your taste buds. Second thing, the sound pizza makes. That crunchy sound you hear when biting into that delicious seasoned crust. It’s like heaven on earth. Another thing that’s great about pizza is how it feels. It has a smooth exterior if done properly. It can also be gooey, and the bread is nice and crusty. Look is also an important factor. Just staring at an ad from Domino’s or Round Table gives me the urge to grab the phone and place a big order. One of the great things that make pizza look amazing and also makes my mouth water is of course the toppings and cheese. The pepperonis, jalapenos, ham, sausage, etc. They all make pizza unique in it’s own way, but still gives it that awe-inspiring look and heavenly taste. And sure, every pizza is greasy to some extent, but it’s still tasty. One final thing to take into consideration is the smell. It’s compelling, and a smell most people around the world know of. When being baked, you can get a whiff of the melting mozzarella cheese, or sauce. It’s an enticing odor. Pizza has many scents that will have people lined up craving a slice or more. In conclusion, this is why pizza is the greatest cuisine in the world and my favorite food.

And this is why I love pizza.

"Noona, I have a question." Clever says.

"Shoot away."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

I blink my eyes. "Why..where did that question come from if you dont mind me asking?"

It's just that, it came out of the blue and wow. Hes just eleven and yet he already knows about this things. Kids this days just know way too much.

"I was just curious. Well do you?"

"Um.. I dont. Noona still doesn't have a boyfriend. Do you want Noona to have one?"

He shakes his head. I find it rather cute. "No."

I let a smile show in my face. "And why is that?"

"Because Noona only belongs to me and Hyung."

"Because Noona only belongs to me and Hyung."

Well, I guess that isnt scary at all. I blink my eyes, slightly taken aback. Clever kinda sounded possesive just now and its giving me some major goose bumps.

"I'm sorry what?"

"You dont get to decide wether noona should have a boyfriend or not, Clever."

Nathan steps in. He sounds like he's stressed for some reason. I wonder what time the pizza will arrive. I believe that will be the only thing that will shut them up.

Since I have a feeling an argument is about to be born.

I attach the back of my head and realize as sigh since my assumption turned out to be true.

"I can too." Answers the young boy. Nathan rolls his eyes, shifting so that hes fully facing Clever.

"No you cant. You dont own her."

"I so do. Noona is only mine. And shes yours too."

Nathan rubs his fingers in the portion between his eyebrows like hes about to have a headache. "It doesn't work that way, Clever. Noona is her own person. Are you not even hearing yourself right now?"

"But..but you told me Noona is ours. You said she won't leave us. "

"I-"

"Yay. Pizza is here. Now both of you stop talking and eat first okay? We still have a long night ahead of us and you both need al the energy you need to rude all the rides right? Eat up."

"But Noona, you're our right?"

"Of course baby. Noona will always be there for you even if end up having a boyfriend. Remember that okay? You guys will always be my first priority. So please, just take the pizza and eat it okay?"

"Okay Noona."

Little did I know, someone was actually listening to us from the table behind us.

Abel's POV

The night sky is an overall mystery to contemplate. Humans are drawn to the when, where, how and why of it.

Stars shone as sugar spilt over black marble, glistening in the sun.

I caught a particular scent the moment I stepped in the Pizza Hut. I didnt think Loona would bring me to the amusement park to be honest. It anything, I expected she would bring me to the arcade.

"But..but you told me Noona is ours. You said she won't leave us. "

"I-"

"Yay. Pizza is here. Now both of you stop talking and eat first okay? We still have a long night ahead of us and you both need al the energy you need to rude all the rides right? Eat up."

"But Noona, you're our right?"

"Of course baby. Noona will always be there for you even if end up having a boyfriend. Remember that okay? You guys will always be my first priority. So please, just take the pizza and eat it okay?"

"Okay Noona."

It just so happened that they were sitting at the table behind us. It was Miss miller. And judging from the conversation and how the boys addressed her, I can only assume they're her sibling.

"Why are you so serious all of a sudden. Eat your food before it gets cold. this is not work so you better not be thinking about anything related to those stressful things."

Loona gestures from across me. I guess I might have space out for a while.

"That's one of your workers right? What was her name again? Oh right. Elka Miller was it?"

I look at her, lifting an eyebrow in question. "How do you know about her?"

"I think the real question is how would I mot know about her? I basically memorized everyone working for you."

Of course. I roll my eyes. Loona tends to memorize names of random people under my company whenever she gets bored. It's a weird habit that incantation never understand.

"What do you think about her?" She suddenly asked.

"About who?"

"About Elka. What do you think about her?"

Well, if I have to be honest.

"My first impression of her wasn't really a good one but she was able to change that. She's feisty, loves mumbling under her breath a lot - basically has complains for every thing but still takes her job seriously. She's also a clean worker. She has this habit of rolling her eyes thinking I cant see her or hear her too and...." I trail off, stopping before I could say the rest. I was just abo_t to say something that was out of context just now. I clear my throat and Loona tolts her to the side, expecting me to go on.

"And what?"

"And that's it."

"No it's not. What is it? you already started, might as well just finish it. Dont leave me hanging . You know how much I hate it when someone leaves me hanging right?"

"Its nothing important."

"You're making it sound like it's the most vital point. Spill it."

"Really, it's not."

"You're trying to avoid it so of course it must be important. If you dont tell me anything, I'm standing up and will go to there table."

I look up from my plate to connect with her eyes. She serious. "You wouldn't."

One side of her lips lifts up into a smirk. "Try me."

Why did I I I I I I I suddenly y y become nervous when she said she'd approach their table?

It's not like I did anything wrong anyway so why? My heart's also beating way too fast my my liking.

I release a sigh, defeated.

"Fine. "I say. "And she smells nice."

This statement causes her to lean back, almsot in a relieved way.

"And you said that wasn't important." She says, much to my surprise. If it were anyone else, they might've said that was straight up creep of me. She suddenly pushes her chair back and stands up.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Where else?" She flips her hair. "I'm going to say hi to Elka. Wanna come?"

"Where else?" She flips her hair. "I'm going to say hi to Elka. Wanna come?"

My eyes flies open when she really does take a step forward.

However, by the time I'm already up on my feet and racing go retrieve Loona back, I hear Miss Miller saying something with shock in her eyes.

Even the pizza that was in her fingers drops back to the plate.

"L-loona?"

Loona widens her eyes, pretending that she's surprised. But I know her too well. shes only pretending.

"Oh. I wasn't expecting a lovely lady like you to recognize me. I'm Loona, I believe you already know since you mentioned it, and yeah. This guy ove here is my cousin. He kinda recognized you so I wanted to stop by and just say hi and also thank you for tolerating him. I know how much of a trouble Abel can be."

I sigh under my breath. What on earth is Loona doing right now? She changed her approach.

I send Miss Miller an apologetic expression. She eventuall snaps back to reality when one of her brother nudges her on the arm.

"I um... Oh right." She suddenly stands up and bows in respect. "Its a pleasure to meet you."

"Its a pleasure to meet you too. I see you're having some bonding with your siblings?"

"I am. This is Nathan and Clever. Kids, this is my boss and this his cousin."

I tighten my hand on Loona's arm. "What do you think you're doing? Let's go back."

As if my words were just mere wind passing through, Loona sparks up. "Do you mind if we join you after dinner? Theres this awesome arcade that right across the place and I think your brothers are gonna love it."

"Um..I dont think that's necessary. We really dont want to be a bother."

"Nonsense. It will be fun. So it's a deal okay? You guys will love it. I promise." The last sentence had been directed to the boys. The youngest one is already warming up to the offer given that there already a smile on his face.

"Um.. okay. Thank you."

"Perfect. Take your time on dinner, we'll head there once you're ready."

Loona takes her arms away from my grasp and heads back to our table.

"What was that all about?"

"What? It's not like I did anything wrong. It's just an outing between an employee and their boss. Wait no. Erase that. We just happened to cross paths and since you know her, you invited her to hang out."

"Me?" I says in disbelief . "I believe you mean you."

"Oops. My bad. Yeah. I meant me. And you. Now eat your dinner. I think the kids will be a handful. you'll need all the energy you can get."

I shake my head. I wonder I she's up to. Sometimes I just cant seem to now what that girl is thinking.

I just hope it isnt something that will get her in trouble later.
