In The Shadows

Chapter-3: Rewind

Zoey woke up fresh in the morning with a smile on her face.

She got up and opened the curtains of her room letting the sunlight in.

"Morning Ghost", she said as he came to her and kissed the top of his head, "its the day I move into my new studio", he licked her face and she smiled.

Just then the doorbell rang. Who could it be?

She went to see on the monitor and it was a middle aged woman and Bambam with Yugyeom.

"Zoeey let us in!"

Oh my god these two she closed her eyes and sighed.

"What are you guys doing here?", she asked as they both entered and the woman bowed down to Zoey and she reciprocated.

"This is your new caretaker Mrs. Tessa", Bam introduced her and she bowed to her once again and Zoey got awkward.

"Mom sent her. She's one of our best staff though. Don't worry she'll take care of everything."

"So I'll explain you everything. This is Ghost", she said and Yugyeom held him in his hands.

"Oh so cute", he said kissing Ghost's nose and he licked him.

"He likes you", Zoey smiled.

"Can I play with him?"

"Sure", Zoey noded and Yugyeom took him out to the patio.

Zoey gave Mrs. Tessa the tour of her penthouse and explained everything. She was an organized woman and one clean freak.

"I am a clean freak and-"

"Don't worry Miss Lee I'll do my best", she gave her a warm smile and she smiled.

"About Ghost, you have to bathe him once every two days. Take him out for walk once in the morning and once in the evening. His food habits, I have them up on the fridge", she put her finger on his schedule, "And you'll have to take him to the vet this month. All his schedule is written and up on the fridge."

"Yes Miss Lee. And for your meals?"

"I hit the gym in the morning so you don't have to make breakfast for me. I have a habit of doing that myself. All you have to do is cook dinner"

"Oh she cooks amazing food. You have to try out the kimchi she makes", Bam slurped his saliva, "Mrs. Tessa I'm going to miss you"

"Don't worry, I'll come and cook for you as well"

"Aren't you the best", he said and went to the patio to Yugyeom and Ghost.

"I think that'll be all. Oh and I'll give you the spare key to the house. You can come here at 7 am and leave by 5 pm if that's okay with you?"

"These are probably the most comfortable hours I am ever going to work"

"You can start. I'll be going then", Zoey went to her room and changed into a loose white t-shirt tucked in her blue Mom jeans and black converse.

She saw Yugyeom and Bam still playing with Ghost.

"Aren't you guys going to college?", she asked going to the patio.

"Oh we can skip class. We're having too much fun with Ghost here", Yugyeom said while playing in the pool with him.

"Make yourselves at home", she said sarcastically and went back inside, "Mrs. Tessa?"

"Yes Ms. Lee?"

"You can call me Zoey", she noded, "Please clean the pool once they get out?"

"Yes Ms. Lee", Zoey raised an eyebrow, "I mean Zoey"
