THIRD PERSON POV
"You done, freak?"
Catching her off guard, Zin's shoulders jumped in surprise as she heard a familiar low yet playful voice. She could immediately know who that person was.
With a deadpanned look plastered on her small face, the young lady looked up only to meet her beloved younger brother, Zon. Not that she was not expecting him, just hearing his voice and the familiar vocabulary already gave it away.
Snickering teasingly, the younger male Klavis stared down at the older female Klavis with his hands gripped around each side of his hips. His platinum blonde hair slit back with his chin up. "You freaking simp." Zon then cackled hysterically after that.
Rolling her eyes yet with a blush on her cheeks, Zin immediately stood up as she dusted off her dress with her hands gently as she didn't want it to get ruffled.
As she ran her fingers through her smooth locks, Zin then crossed her arms in front of her chest and then gave Zon an unamused look, her eyes squinting at him.
"Fuck you. I never simp." Zin growled at him before huffing and pouting her lips.
The young man also rolled his eyes at her older sister with a scoff. He found it laughably stupid on how her sister still looked like she didn't want to admit her feelings for the bluenette which is pretty obvious just because of her earlier state which Zon actually witnessed. Unfortunately for him, Zon wasn't able to see the scene where Khun pressed his lips against her. He only reached her when he saw Khun walking out looking all cocky, and deadpanning at her sister's flustered state. Although it is quite obvious that they hooked up.
'Not that I'm complaining or anything. It looks like she has already moved on from Zylo....' Zon thought in his head, a blank look on his face.
"Anyways," Going back to his happy go lucky personality, Zon's face lit up as he looked at his sister with his hands clenched in front of his chest and his eyes shimmered.
"Can you please buy me strawberry milk, Big Sis Zin?" he asked cutely as he took a hold of her sister's palms in which Zin only gave him a disgusted look.
^____^ <3 <------- Zon
"Big Sis Zin, can you please buy me strawberry milk?" Zon repeated, the only difference is that he reversed his sentence.
Zin puffed her cheeks in annoyance. 'Ah...there he is again. Reversing his sentence...' A sigh then escaped from her lips.
Letting out another deep breath, Zin reached her hand to pat her younger brother's head in which Zon gladly welcomed and widely grinned at her. "Alright. I'll get you one." The sky blue eyed girl complied with the yellow eyed boy's request, a small smile formed on her face. She patted Zon's head because her brother likes being babied....a lot.
"I see you're hooking up with Khun, huh?" The younger Klavis cheekily commented, a cheeky grin playing on his thin lips as he offered his left arm to his sister for her to hold on while his right hand was shoved into his pants' pocket.
Zin rolled her eyes as she held onto Zon's arms, cricling her right arm around it as her left palm held onto it. This action is meant for Zin to be safe since Zon is not oblivious to the view of every guys' eyes pierced onto his older sister as they began to walk together. Although he knows that her sister is capable of swiftly knocking out all of these men, he just wanted to make her feel comfortable at the least.
Flushed, the sky blue eyed girl avoided making eye contact to the yellow eyed boy, her head hung low to the opposite side of where his brother is. "Shut up." She simply replied.
Chuckling, Zon then took back his arm as Zin let him go as they finally reached the vending machine. Zin approached it and then began to press buttons in order to get Zon's beloved strawberry milk, although she decided to get a chocolate milk first before the strawberry milk.
"How did you even met Aguero?" The older Klavis plainly questioned with a blank expression
Zon cleared his throat. "Well, let's just say I kind of barged into his bunker that surprisingly is not that hard to hack the security system and all, because I'm awesome, and there I met him." He took a halt and winked at me cheekily which I only responded by rolling my eyes at him. "But before that, I saw this maaaaassive tree of strawberries!!" he beamed.
-___- <------- Zin
"Zon....strawberries don't grow on trees...."
O__O <------- Zon
The male was utterly baffled. "T-They don't?" he stuttered. The female only sighed in disappointment, slapping her hand unintentionally on her forehead.
Clearing his throat, gained back his composure as his embarrassing mistake is now buried in the back of his head. "Well, I don't care. From now on, strawberries grow on trees because I said so!" he declared making Zin roll her eyes again.
"Yeah, whatever makes you sleep at night I guess..."
"Whatever." The yellow eyed boy only spat at the sky blue eyed girl. "Anyways, it was pretty easy to convince Khun that we're related, but at first he tried to slice my throat. I hated him for that." The younger one dramatically shared his side of the story making dramatic gestures as if he was severely in pain.
'I'm not even going to ask him more....' With a shook of her head, Zin decided to just change the subject. She can just ask Khun about this because if Zon explains it, a lot of unrelated things somehow just comes in.
'If only he wasn't my brother, I would've kicked his ass for thinking that strawberries grow in trees.'
Scoffing, Zin decided to ask a question she's been really wanting to ask ever since their first encounter. "Were you the one who I bumped into at the...convenience store, Zon? How did you even know where I was." she tried to remember the past events as she kneeled down to get her chocolate milk and then proceeding to again press buttons in order to give Zon his desired strawberry milk.
Nodding eagerly with a hum, Zon confirmed her assumption. "Mhm! I think it was....back at the 19th Floor? Not sure. I met a kid there who had your handkerchief, the one with your nickname on it? I tried to search for you in the 19th Floor since then, but I heard the stupid 'Crystal Shooter' freaking thing and thought it may be you because crystalsss~ haha." He cooed in a way that made me cringe
Then Zon released a displeased sigh. "But you were already floors ahead of me so I decided to continue climbing the Tower until the 'Workshop Battle' freaking came into mind. Since it was sort of a big thing, I thought you will be there. I also heard you were teamed up with a Khun and I was shocked but.....meh who cares. Then I got some information about Khun then decided to meet him to see you again then blablabla...and then we bumped at the convenience store. Yeah, I got scared so I ran off that time....then met you here. My state of mind was not yet ready to see you at that moment, aaaaaand there you have it. The End!~" he revealed with such quite long sentences.
O__o <------- Zin
"You met that brat?" Zin shifted to his brother, flabbergasted.
Zin began to wonder, is this somehow planned by fate? Or could it be destiny? She didn't forget the day she offered that handkerchief to the boy when he was crying due to being bullied.
Everything seems to be getting fishier and fishier. It was so skeptical. How small can the worldβthe Tower rather, for Zon and her to meet? That's what Zin thought.
Of course that was sarcasm. There is absolutely no way that the Tower is small in any way.
Now that Zin has thought deeply into this, she has now wondered. What makes her different from her other siblings? If you ask her, all of her siblings are better at her in a lot of other aspects, especially her older brothers that are now Rankers. So how come she was the said 'chosen one' when it was quite obvious that there are more members of the Klavis Family more worthy than her? What is so special about her?
Add up, nothing was mentioned to her that any of her siblings are going to be by her side as she accompanies the son of Arlen. If anything, Zin was sure that Zon shouldn't even be here in the first place, it was supposed to be only her. She doesn't even know why Zon entered the Tower in the first place.
'It was my fate to be with Bam, the whole reason of my birth was to meet him. Guide him. But, come to think of it, father never mentioned anything about fate. He often used the word destiny instead. But what is their difference...?'
Waving a hand in front of her face, Zon struggled to gain his sister's attention as she was so deep in thought. A frown crept up to his face as the thing that Zon despises in the world more than not getting his strawberry milk, is people ignoring him. "Freaking hellβHELLOOOOOO???? KNOCK KNOCK?!!?!" he began to knock his knuckles onto Zin's forehead.
As a result, the female Klavis woke up from her deep trance as her head began to be pushed lightly because of the aggressive knocks on her forehead. This caused her to click her tongue in annoyance. "Tsk. Knock it off!!β"
"Knock it off? That means to 'keep going' right? Okaayy!!" Dumbly, the male Klavis only continued to knock on the female's forehead, but now in a more fast paced and aggressive manner.
"It means 'stop' you airhead!!" Zin snapped at him.
"OOPS!! SORRY!!"
^_______^ <------- Zon
β¬ Γ βΈ Γ <------- Zin
Just after that, the two were now silent. Zin was sipping on her chocolate milk as she leaned her body on the vending machine, while Zon there just waited for his strawberry milk to drop. The vending machine was slightly broken so Zin had to hit it a little in order for it to work.
It was slightly weird for Zon to be quiet out of nowhere. But Zin didn't really mind. She was glad that her brother was able to shut his mouth. It seemed that a thought has crossed his mind but Zin didn't mind that
However, she was still baffled. The thought of her past still triggers her. It wasn't really that pleasant and she doesn't wish to recall it but could not help. Thinking about the words of her father talking about her being the chosen child, brought back the words of how he said to her that she shouldn't really be acquainted with a Khun.
'Just what will father say if he finds out...?' She deeply thought to her head, a frown creeping to her pale face as she lightly gripped on the carton of her chocolate milk. She began to feel anxious about everything once again.
"By the way, you do know that Father wouldn't be delighted that you've fallen in love with a Khun, right?" This statement of Zon caused Zin to jump, baffled.
Taken a back, the female stayed silent as she stared at her carton of choclate milk, looking at it as if it's something interesting. Both of them heard the drop of the carton of strawberry milk that's ready to be taken from the vending machine. But none of them moved to make an effort to take it. None of the two even said a word after that Zon's very statement.
Zin didn't expect for this subject come up. Especially by an idiot like Zon.
"Always remember my child...be wary of the Has and Aries....hate the Yeons....and treat the Khuns as if they are your family, but remember in the end.....you must betray them. WAHA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HAAAAA!" Out of nowhere, Zon suddenly mocked his father's word, as he held his chin high and arms up in the air, even had the audacity to mock his father's laugh.
\^o^/ <------- Zon
-___- <------- Zin
Taking notice of his sister's anxiousness still present, with a light, short, and low chuckle, the male bended down for he is too tall, to get his strawberry milk from the take-out port of the vending machine. He then decided to break the tension. "Well, it's not like it's a bother to me or anything though."
His words made Zin feel flabbergasted. She instantly whipped her head to stare at Zon, eyes widened, stunned as she watched him straighten his stance and poke the straw into the carton of his favorite strawberry milk before taking a sip. A blush of satisfaction appeared on his cheeks as he hums quietly in delight.
"What do you mean?" The sky blue eyed girl questioned in disbelief.
"Well," Zon took one more long sip before he parted the straw from his lips and then facing her sister with a wide grin of reassurance. "We both know that the two of us are the most rebellious in the family, despite you being the chosen one, you desire freedom and answers more than anyone else I know so I guess that's the reason. Big Bro Zen is on another level though...." He chuckled sheepishly as he remembered that that certain sibling of theirs literally abandoned the family.
"But anyways," he continued after shooking his head before beaming at me. "I honestly don't mind if you get together with Khun!" He quickly clarified shocking Zin even more.
"Although to be frank, I don't really like him because he's a freaking jackass, and he tried to slice my throat..." he mumbled the last part under his breath. "But he has soft for you and only you. And as long as he takes good care of you and doesn't break your heartβI don't see anything wrong with that! Even if it means that I will go against our freaking family, I promise that I will always support you just how you always supported me."
At the end of his statement, the young man with shining sunny eyes grinned widely at his older sister, reassuring her and showing her the support he genuinely desires to give her.
O__O <------- Zin
Zin was speechless. Utterly speechless.
She had never seen Zon this mature. Well, not completely mature, but his mindset has. If she had talk about this to the old Zon, he probably would've make fun of her because she fell in love and would've teased her. Which actually did happen in the past with a certain someone.
Knowing Zon, he would never support her in this kind of issues, because even though both of them are quite rebellious and often didn't really care about the traditions and laws of the family, he still respected it despite thinking that it's wrong to take away their freedom at such a young age and treat people differently based on their status. He had no choice but to just go with the flow, just like everyone else.
But now here he is, completely supporting her without a second thought. He didn't even stutter on any word he just said. Perhaps, he's just being the idiot he is, but Zin could clearly feel his sincerity in every word that has escaped his lips. She thought that despite Zon's playful and dumb nature, he would've still tell her that she should think about it more. But to her surprise, he's here encouraging her even if she hasn't said anything about her having a liking towards the son of Khun.
Regardless, Zin is still having doubts. Not in Khun, not in Zon, but in herself.
Smiling, Zin appreciated Zon as she again gave him soft head pats in which Zon gladly accepted. "Thank you, I-I never expected you'd say that..."
"Of course you didn't. I am an enigma after all."
His comeback caused Zin to giggle. 'Where the hell did he learn to use that kind of word?'
However, Zon being the observant freak he is, noticed the glint of doubt in his beloved sister's crystal clear blue orbs. "You look hesitant. Do you still like freaking goody two-shoes Zylo?" He bluntly asked his sister.
Zin froze, and her body shook, her eyes showed trauma, and her expression showed torment. She never wanted to hear that name ever again in her life.
Just remembering his actions....his betrayal against her.....still pains her heart.
"Don't you ever speak that name, Zon." Menace trailed in Zin's voice, her usually plain yet soft voice completely vanished.
Goosebumps instantly ran through Zon's skin as he heard her sister's tone and voice. He quickly looked at her and saw how her eyes darkened at the mention of the said boy's name. The name of the so-called 'first love' of Zin.
Gulping as a lump formed in his throat, Zon sheepishly smiled, feeling awkward and intimidated. "H-Hehehe....whatever you say, Big Sis."
'Why the freak does she not want to hear Zylo though...?' The boy wondered in his head as he stared at her sister, bewildered and concerned.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and speak, Zon was interrupted when an unexpected tiny and quite irritating voice suddenly came in.
The two Klavis instantly whipped their heads to the source, both with a dumbfounded expression plastered on their faces. "Yoohoo~!" the woman cooed playfully.
Zin instantly made a gagging motion.
The woman wore a colored black party dress and black pumps and her black wavy hair dangled freely on her back. Judging by her features, she looked like she was in her early 20s. She had a thick load of makeup on her face
