Before you begin reading this chapter

 I encourage you my friend

 To go grab a glass of water and glup all of it down.

Hydration first!!

Anyway, let's continue!!

----------------------------------------

   Katnya's curls were flying all over the place, as she went back and forth in her room, restless. She knew she shouldn't think about Yuta, but she just couldn't stop worrying about the silver lion's whereabouts. Sitting on the bed, walking from her room to the bathroom, going up and down the stairs, she didn't know what to do but at the same time, she couldn't stay still for a single second.

   Amidst this whole paranoia she stopped, to look outside the window, lavender locks grabbing her attention. She stepped closer to the glass surface, to look at Ivy sitting on a sunbed next to the pool, giggling at something she was looking at on her phone.

 -"I guess some sunbathing would do me good.", she told herself as she went down the stairs, not to come back this time.

   Reaching the living room, Katnya saw Johnny, Jungwoo and Yianne fighting over Monopoly.

 -"Where is Danny? She'd definitely kick your ass if she played.", the brunette sarcastically said.

   Johnny, who previously was trying to stop Jungwoo from cheating, froze. His eyes went from Jungwoo to Katnya, and only then she realized, Johnny looked like absolute shit. Not only his appearance was terrible, undereyes darker than ever, all puffy and weak-looking, but also his stare, it looked empty and bland. His mood seemed to have changed completely at the sound of his girlfriend's name.

 -"Oooookay, wrong person to ask I guess...", Katnya whispered as she turned towards the backyard door, feeling uncomfortable.

  Standing now in front of the pool, she looked at her friend stuck above the small screen. Katnya felt as if something was off. She had never seen Ivy holding a phone for more than a minute, for crying out loud.

   She slowly approached her and sat down to the sunbed next to Ivy's. A whole minute passed, and Ivy still hadn't noticed her presence.

 -"Are you serious right now?!", Katnya aggresively said, earning a jumpy reaction from her friend.

 -"What!?", Ivy responded in a similar tone, "How long have you been here?"

 -"Enough for you to explain to me what the heck is going on with you!"

 -"Why are you so sure something is going on with me?", Ivy said defensively.

 -"Oh, pleeease. I know you, and even if I didn't I would still be able to tell you're up to something. I just don't understand why you won't tell me."

   Ivy just sat there, looking at Katnya's chocolate eyes for a few seconds, and then she sighed.

 -"I'm sorry Kat. I really am. I, I just don't even know what is happening myself."
