"Oh, you got power, superpowers."

"Do you even know how to wield them?"

"All God's Children are special,"

"But not like you, no, not like you."

"You're just like a flower."

"Lift your head to the sky."

"It's crazy to say this,"

"But you're the greatest."

"I can't explain it,"

"They can't deny you, it's true."

"Lift your head to the sky,"

Zoey hadn't realized how far her crush gone; it had been small glances at your side-profile.

And maybe trying to act a bit more nonchalant than usual around you, and you laughing and telling her she looked better being her.

Or maybe it was when your fingers brushed against hers when you both argued (playfully, of course) about who pays for the bill.

Or maybe it was when she caught herself smiling at your texts and kicking her feet in the air-

Zoey was just clueless, and maybe a little stupid because even Rumi and Mira realized how she acted around you or at your texts before she could realize it.

You had been the person she did want to date anyways.

Gorgeous, Sweet, Loyal, and even brought her tiny snacks or turtle-related stuff when she was just... out of life or whatever.

You reminded her that she wasn't too American and not that Korean, you reminded her that she belonged.

All that Zoey needed though was you cupping her face in her hand and saying it- Ahem, see? Zoey was already a simp.

It was the same for you though, sometimes you looked at her and thought to yourself the same words - Pretty.

Your eyes practically lit up, even if for a second, when your gaze went to her. You let Zoey rant to you about a lot of stuff.

She was a little weird, but she was pretty. And a good type of weird.

So, when Zoey asked you out with that stuttering voice, and trying to give you compliments and make the move.

You had just laughed a little and accepted, Rumi and Mira were somewhere in the coffee shop for emotional support.

You knew when you saw Zoey outside the coffee shop after celebrating with both Rumi and Mira in the craziest way. She probably forgot you could still see her.

Now, on the date you had currently taken her to a shop with turtle-themed stuff (she got matching bracelets, it was cute).

And now held a bag of food in your hand because she wanted to save them.

Now, you and Zoey had been walking over a bridge at a park at the hour of 8 PM. Seoul was dark by now, barely any people around so it was just the two of you.

Zoey had paused to look at the water, just because the quiet other than the chaos in the HUNTR/X penthouse, and your presence soothed her. "Okay, so another fun fact about turtles-" She continued to ramble, while your mind repeated the word. Pretty.
