chapter 4 ~ Kim

KIM ☆

Last night, I won't regret. Ever. Coming into Euphoria's house.. for a good reason. And I mean, good reason.

I had a tingly feeling. That I don't want her to be alone. But also, a feeling that everyone, even her friends, family, should stay away from her. Touch, talk, and look, none of that from other people, except me. My obsession over her was too much, I had to visit her.

Well, that kinda traumatised her. But we'll just see if she forgot the incident from last night.

I was preparing for work. Shower, and then a quick coffee before heading to La Beau Sol. But ding. A message.

It was from my best friend, also to be addressed as Euphoria's older brother, Evon.
<yo. you going to your workplace? because i'll be there.>, he texted me. I opened Messages and began typing, soon pressing my finger on the send button.
<Yeah, what for though?>
<for meeting you and your new employee, duh.> He seems to not know who my new employee is, he's rather dumb for not know his own sister is my new employee. Oh well.
<Alright, see you.> closed messages, now stepping outside, seeing the gloomy sky with faded blotches of clouds. Not a speck of sun leaking out. Rather gloomy on a Wednesday morning.
I got in the car, starting the engine and gripping the steering wheel.

"Oh, Kim. Hello." Euphoria stood infront of me at the entrance of the restaurant. She seemed to 'forget' that I broke into her house last night. I won't point it out, but I'm still amused at her reaction.
I adjusted my tie as I raised my eyebrows.
"Hey, Euphoria. How are you?"
"Decent... I guess."
Decent, the reason is clear.
My eyes darted to see the first customer of the day, as I saw her go to work. Goodness, if I had a picture of her I wouldn't hesitate to stare at it for an eternity. No one, not even my friends, no one. I can only stare at her.
God, my damn mind is messed up. I forgot I'm a manager at one of the fanciest restaurants in the town.
Then, my eyes landed on a certain customer, I saw him. My best friend.
"Yo, Kim."
"Damn, you look cooler in that suit. I remember the last time you wore one, you looked like a nerd." I snickered as I wheezed a bit. Evon's eyebrows narrowed.
"You shut up, or I'll leave."
"Alright, chill."
"So, who's the new employee? Because I really wanna meet them." Hearing that I placed my fingers on my forehead, sighing. He was too dumb to realize that his own sister is my new employee.
"...just... look..." Evon finally noticed. He saw Euphoria, handing a tray of coke and burritos. His jaw hung open.
"MY SISTER...?"
"This is why you're dumb."
"Shut up." He walked to Euphoria. Her eyes widened and her eyebrows flew up.
"Evon? The hell are you doing here?"
"I'm here for hanging out with Kim. I never knew your a little prawn for Kim."
"Oh you shut up! I'm an employee, not a prawn. Get it right, moron."
I saw the two siblings squabbling. The fact they were both adults made me chuckle, at such an old age can still have beef with siblings.
"Says you. You're the moron here."
"No, you!"
"Yes, you!"
I sighed, my echoing voice managed to stop the two fighting cats.
"Have you two learnt what 'being an adult' means?"
"..."
"..."
"Exactly. Euphoria, get back to work. Evon, wait until you're seated." The two sighed, before glaring at eachother and taking their own paths. I acted like a single dad with two children, and a dog. The restaurant is the dog, since I clean it weekly and take care of it. But who would I wanna take care of more? Her.
