달콤
/ dal - kom /
(adj.) sweet.
Dalkom Home. In literal translation, sweet home. Clio looked once again on the signage of the newly-built coffee shop as she just finished searching for the unfamiliar word "dalkom." She sighed before preparing herself to enter the place she once considered home. That sweet home that has been her escape to the noises rummaging around her head that almost ate her up. And inside that sweet home is the person who has been her home ever since, Tyr.
Everyone has their own pacing and story as others might say. You don't need validation from others, they advised. However, living the life of a celebrity's sister, comparison between the two of them has been inevitable to Clio Selene Alonto ever since. A night won't pass without draining herself into her thoughts on what would've happened if she was as good as her sister. Would it make everyone happy? Would it make him happy?
She has never been wanting anything for herself since she has this thought that she didn't deserve anything as she is being deemed as "not good enough" unlike her sister. Not until she met Tyrell "Tyr" Giledon, the first guy that caught her attention, in the Barista's Café he works at. However, all the unknown butterflies she had felt were lost the moment he served her coffee with a written name as 'Cleo.' Controlled with the emotions she had held long enough, Clio stormed out of the café, not knowing that Tyr included his number, next to the incorrectly-written name on her coffee.
