Evangeline's breath hitched, her eyes were red, and under the waterline, purple veins that were slightly popping out with tears, her neck veins were visible, due to suffocation. The tension increased in the room, and then the door burst open.

Chris and Michael stood near the doorway; their faces etched with concern as they took in Evangeline's distress. Both rushed towards her. "Eve! What... where is the inhaler?" Chris asked, grabbing her hands.

Nate became a whirlwind of motion, tossing dresses aside in his frantic search. Finally, his eyes landed on the White tube. "Found it...." he shouted, his voice filled with relief as he grabbed and rushed towards Evangeline. She held the inhaler with her trembling hands, intake slowly. Within a few minutes, her torn breaths softened like regular breath.

A collective sigh of relief filled the room as the tension began to fade. "Thank God," Chris exhaled, his shoulders relaxing against the wall.

    Evangeline walked onto the balcony and stretched her body. "What were you guys talking about?" she asked, settling into a chair. After her presence, tension hung in the air between Victoria and Nate.Victoria, with a forced, casual smile, a little too quickly, offered, "Uh! Nothing much. Just debating whether this downpour means we should ditch our hiking plans.""Hmm. I think it's good, I am already tired of watching fake people around me," Evangeline agreed, twisting her messy long hair into a quick bun.

    "Who might be?" Aaron thought. He walked to the washroom absently, splashed cold tap water on his face, watching his disappointment and regret reflected in the mirror. "I hope everything is solved soon," he said, wiping his wet face with a towel and opening the door.Aaron's eyes widened in shock. "Uh! Lee," he whispered, before another word came out of his mouth. Liam punched him in the face hard and slapped him.Aaron didn't react or defend himself. He stood silently watching the floor in guilt. Liam, his hand still raised back for another punch, watched Aaron's broken expression and the blood trickling from the corner of his lip. He signed, and slowly he lowered his hand down. "Just hit me harder, Lee.... I deserve this...." Aaron grabbed Liam's hand and slapped it against his cheek. "Please hit me...." he begged, his words slurring, broken into crying.Liam's eyes furrowed in confusion; his rage reduced to concern. "Hey, Aaron, what happened?" he asked, gently lifting Aaron's chi

    In the evening, the sunset bled across the endless beach in golden color, the cold breeze whispered with wave sounds making the party perfect.

"Eve, are you okay?" he asked, watching Evangeline's swollen face. He is sipping his coffee slowly. "Sorry, we both bailed on you so suddenly last night."Evangeline offered him a strained smile on her face, "It's completely fine, Chris. You too human right?" The laughter sound echoed behind them, interrupting their conversation. Both of them turned, glancing at who it was. Her eyes were red, flickering with disappointment as she saw Aaron and Zoey chasing each other playfully near the water's edge. She quickly averted her gaze, focusing on the beach.

If I propose to you, maybe... maybe Eve will finally open up about her feelings. right?" He said as he watched Zoey's excitement on her face.He is a pure idiot.

    "When do you become an Egotist?" Evangeline's voice was cold, tinged with hurt. "I don't understand you anymore." Her eyes remained fixed on him, a slight, disappointed smirk on her lips. "You're going to regret this, Aaron. This changes everything between us. I don't think I can ever talk until you regret it." With a determined movement, she raised her hand. "I vote for Aaron."

"Kim 1 vote, Evangeline 2 votes, Aaron 3 votes, and Zoey 5 votes.""What the f*ck?" Zoey's voice was a strangled whisper, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Zoey identity was a doctor" "What? She is a doctor" Victoria said, her surprise evident."You guys are crazy," Zoey's voice cracked with frustration, her sharp gaze locking onto Evangeline, a flicker of anger in her eyes."Why she is mad at me?"

"Next round in ten minutes ...." the staff announced.Nate moved with a confident air towards Lucas. "If you were Mafia," he began, his voice low and persuasive, "what would be your first move?""I find the investigator first. He must be our problem" Lucas whispered to his ear, hi

    "I am not..." Aaron said with a casual shrug.Liam's gaze, sharp with disappointment, that seemed to physically weigh him down, raked over Aaron. "Dude, what the hell happened to you?"
