Morning Stroll

The sun went up slowly as the sound of the roosters were heard, indicating that it's another day for everyone.

Some people might think it's annoying but for him, He felt alive. Especially about what happened last night.

Chris woke up with a huge smile on his face. He turned to the beautiful woman beside him as he watches her sleep peacefully.

"How cute." He mumbled as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

He slowly removed his arm under her head and carefully move out of the bed, making sure not to wake her up.

Chris decided to make breakfast for everyone since he's in the good mood. So he quickly wash up and changed into a simple white tee and blue khaki shorts.

He went down the stairs, Seeing the servants all scattered around.

"Good morning, Sir." They greeted which he responded with a smile. "Are you guys preparing breakfast?" He asked.

They nodded. "Yes, Sir. This will just be quick, just sit for a while."

"Nah, let me help. Just tell me what to do." He replied as he moves closer to the kitchen.

The servants exchange glances. They didn't expect his response, But since he insists. they have no choice but to let him be.

I woke up by the smell wafted in my room. My body automatically move out of bed and opened the door without checking my reflection first.

"Oh my." I mumbled when I sniff the smell. Because I'm woken up suddenly, I'm still on the horizon.

"Hey, bunny. Go wash up first." A familiar voice that made me startled.

She smiled at me and disheveled my hair that is already messed up. "Good morning." She said as she left me in awe.

I smacked my head that made me groan. "Damn, Early in the morning to see a view like that."

I closed the door and rushed to the bathroom to wash up, I change into a plain white sweatshirt and black khaki shorts. I leave my hair untouched. Making it all messy.

I look good in any situation anyways.

I ran down the stairs catching Ally and Hyung laughing. My curiosity went high and joined the conversation.

"Morning, Hyung! What's up?" I asked that startled them both.

"The ceiling, Gray." He bluntly replied That made me groan.

"Oh come on, tell me." I whined.

Allyson chuckled making me turn to her. "Our plan worked, Bunny. Mission accomplished." She stated.

"What?!" I exclaimed receiving a smack from hyung. "Would you keep it down? You'll wake her." Chris scolded.

"Hehe, did you make a score?" I asked with a sly grin.

"What score? Did they play?" Allyson asked innocently.

Aigoo, my innocent chipmunk...

"Don't mind him, Ally. He's just hungry." Chris replied as he shoves a pancake into my mouth.

Allyson nodded as she started to eat her french toast. "Where're the others?" I asked with my mouth full.

"They are still sleeping, Anne is probably exhausted from too much shouting last night." Allyson stated that made our eyes wide.

"Why did she shout?" Chris asked. Allyson chuckled. "She shouted all her problems at the lighthouse. Man, My ears are still ringing from all those noise." She clarified.

"Ahhh, What about my sister? I haven't checked her." Chris asked as he put the remaining eggs on the plate.

"Lauren? I was about to ask you about it, I checked her room, but she's not there."

Right on cue, Ethan appeared walking down the stairs, rubbing his eyes.

I swallowed my food and drank water. "Hey, dummy! Where's Lauren?" I asked that startled him.

"What?" He asked dumbfounded.

"You silly, He just woke up. Don't ask him like that." Allyson reprimanded. "Fine." I replied and just continue eating.

"Why, what happened?" Ethan asked.

"Haha, don't worry. I think she's just taking a stroll." Allyson stated.

Ethan and Chris just exchange glances, hoping that she would be fine.

It was a beautiful morning. Shimmering blue skies, temperature in low seventies, the air is crisp and relatively clean.

Lauren is wearing a white tee under a red flannel tucked in her navy blue shorts. Her hair waving through the wind.

She woke up earlier than the others. She can't go back to sleep so she decided to take a stroll.

It's 10 minutes after 7, She's still walking on the sand, Barefoot. Her sandals on her hands.

Different thoughts keep flashing to her mind as she watches the waves on the sea splashing.

"Let's catch up the time we weren't together, Ren Ren." His voice keeps echoing through her ears even though he's not here.

Lauren sighed, Not stopping from her pace. "How could you make it up, Alien?" she asked.

Lauren just let her feet wander, until she reached a vintage shop. "How did I get here?" She murmured.

Lauren realized that she's still Barefoot, so she hastily drops her sandals and wears them. She doesn't know why, but she entered the shop.

"Good morning, beautiful maiden." The keeper of the store greeted her. Lauren just smiles as a response and wander around the store.

"How can there be a vintage shop here? Isn't this private?" Lauren asked as she look outside.

"Wait, Did I perhaps... Went too far?" Lauren stated, She immediately go the keeper to ask where she is.

"Oh, You're at the other side. This is a public resort now, Miss." The keeper replied.

Lauren's eyes widen at his response. "What does he mean I'm on the other side?" She thought.

"Uhm, how can I go back?" She asked, Embarrassed that she's lost.

The keeper chuckled. "Just walk straight, but the other way around like how you get here." He replied.

"Ah, I see~" Lauren was interrupted by the sound of the door. She turned at it seeing a beautiful woman in her 20's come in.

"Hey, I'm sorry to break in. I just need help." She announced, making the keeper shake her head in disbelief.

"What do you need, Ma'am?" He asked. Lauren was just silently staring at the woman.

The woman is 5"2 or 3 tall, Hair is dark red. Skin pale as the moon. Slim body, Fashion is incredible.

"Just take this direction, Miss. You'll get there soon." The keeper told the woman as he pointed in the direction.

Lauren snap back to reality and decided to leave. "I'll get going. Thanks." She briefly said and left the shop.

The red-haired woman holds down her sunglasses and stares at the brunette walking her way back.

"She looks familiar, Do you know her?" She asked the keeper, but he just shrugged.

"I think she's just a visitor, I just saw her today." He replied.

"Thanks for helping, Sir. I'll get going too." She replied with a smile and bow.

She closed the door as she tries to track the brunette earlier. She clicked her tongue as she tries to remember her face.

"You look familiar, I wonder where I saw you." She muttered before wearing her ray ban back.
