*alarm clock rings, 7 am*

"Joeun achim, Tari! Ppoong!"

A loud voice accompanied by the loud ringing of my alarm clock woke me up from my senses all of a sudden. It woke me up that it almost got me irritated, though. Almost.

The said girl attacked me with a huge hug while I was still washing off slumber from my body.

"Naomi-unnie~" I softly said, while turning over to my left side to block the ray of sunshine that has slipped through the blinds of my bedroom. This girl's sort of heavy, even if she's thin in shape. Chicken and chicken skewers would be the first ones to blame. :)

Finally, she got off of my body and knelt on the floor to face me.

"Yah, Nefertari?" She asked me with that charming smile on her face. Her angelic face made her younger and radiant as days pass. She indeed has a  baby face.

I smiled back in such wicked way. "Can you please make breakfast for now and let me be peaceful just for 10 minutes?!"

She was startled as my voice went to a gradient of a soft one to a loud one.

"Daebak, there's no need to shout, we're just inches away from each other. Geez this pabo, we already have breakfast downstairs," Naomi scratched her nape in annoyance once again. "10 minutes, arasso? Or else.."

"Or else what?" I challenged her, still not opening my eyes, sleep still tickling my body.

"Or else, nothing," She smiled innocently. "You'll just have to buy me chicken later so you better get your ass off of this bed."

"Yah! If that's just it, I'd better be laying here all day." I teased her as I stretched out that made some sounds from my bones that I found satisfying.

"Oh, this is war!" Naomi shouted as she attacked me with a hug and we laughed together and this atmosphere 's less dense, I like it so much.

It was all fun and games until I felt her hands travel down my sides and she started tickling me.

"Yah! H-hajima, u-unnie! Hajim-ma!" I said while laughing wholeheartedly from my sister's actions. She's the best, I swear. I tried to shove her hands away from her hold to me and after some moments, she finally stopped.

Naomi took the space next to me as we both stared at the ceiling. 

"Tari," Her voice was filled with concern and seriousness. "Hm?"

"Take care of yourself, arasso? The world may be so kind and happy but it can be quite the opposite sometimes. Eat always and stay fit, it would benefit your work more." 

I became confused to her words. Is she leaving me now, all alone in this house of ours? She can be literally annoying sometimes but when she loves, she loves people fully. 

"Naomi-unnie, what are you saying? You're acting weirdly lately." I said as I sat up and looked at her but she just shrugged.

She sat up and paced back and forth in front of me. "I said, you might want to take care of yourself because there could be ghosts around here when you're alone!" 

I screamed and covered myself with my blanket as she immediately ran downstairs, leaving me all alone in my room. Well, it's really true that I get scared easily to things but not as close as a coward. Depends on the situation though.

I may be scared at the thought of ghosts only but what would scare me the most would be:

..feeling alone at a lonely state.
