"You think I'm going to let you go again, mon chéri?"
"Only if you catch me first."
Warning: If you haven't read Season 1 of Shadows of Desire, what are you even doing here? Trust me, you'll want to read it first because things are about to get wa...
It was barely 6 a.m., and the world outside was still wrapped in a soft pre-dawn light. The birds chirped, and the breeze felt calm, but inside my mansion? Absolute chaos.
I couldn't even open my eyes properly when I was blasted awake by the sound of Jisoo and Nayeon yelling at the top of their lungs.
Jisoo: "WENDY! IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS UP RIGHT NOW, I'M LEAVING YOU HERE!"
Nayeon: "Seriously, girl, we've got ONE HOUR before we have to be at the airport!"
I groaned, burying my head under my pillow, but the yelling was relentless. Of course, this would be how I start my morning—perfect. Not only am I not a morning person, but waking up to a full-blown crisis before I've even brushed my teeth? A nightmare.
I finally forced myself to roll out of bed, stumbling to the bathroom with my eyes barely open, grumbling to myself. After showering and pulling on a black skirt and top, I still wasn't sure I was fully awake. Maybe I'm dreaming? Please tell me this is a dream.

But no, reality hit the moment I stepped out of my room and heard more yelling from down the hall.
I stomped over to the room across from mine, opening the door to see Jisoo and Nayeon standing over a completely passed-out Wendy who was dead to the world, mouth open, one arm hanging off the bed like she had no cares in the world. Meanwhile, Jisoo and Nayeon looked like they were about to combust.
Nayeon, pulling at her hair: "WENDY! We have ONE HOUR. ONE! You haven't even packed yet!"
Jisoo, shaking Wendy's shoulder furiously: "Wake UP! Do you want to miss Bali!?"
I couldn't help but laugh despite myself. This is how my day begins, huh?
Y/N: "You guys... relax. Wendy's not gonna wake up like this."
Jisoo, turning to me with wild eyes: "Then how do we wake her up, Y/N?!"
I smirked, walking over to Wendy. Without hesitation, I leaned in and whispered dramatically in her ear: "Wendy... the Wi-Fi is down."
Wendy shot up like she'd been hit with lightning, her eyes wide open.
Wendy: "What?! The Wi-Fi?! NO!"
Jisoo and Nayeon both blinked in shock before bursting into laughter.
Jisoo: "You're a genius."
Nayeon, still giggling: "That was brutal, but effective."
Wendy, now awake and glaring at me, pouted: "You're cruel, Y/N. Cruel."
