CATALINA

I woke up a little before Dante, watching him sleep softly beside me. His breathing hitched for a moment, and he grumbled something, falling back into his dreamland.

A smile crept on my lips upon remembering how he said those words.

I saw the blanket above his crotch create a small lump. What is he dreaming that made his manhood erect like that? Our sex on the beach yesterday?

With a sly smile, I slid myself under the blanket, slowly slipping off his boxers and wrapping my mouth around his morning wood.

Just greeting him with a ‘good morning.’

I feel him shift, and the blanket is moved from over me. I look up and have eye-to-eye contact with Dante.

"Good morning to you too..." He says, smiling and lifting his head to get a good look at me.

I reach up, my fingertips against his forehead, and push him back down to his pillow. He moaned as I continued my tongue, tracing every part of his skin. I sucked gingerly and began to feel the pulse come through him.

"Lina..." He whisp

    CATALINAI felt Luhan’s fingers twitch beside mine… a quiet, warning squeeze. Not out of fear. But out of certainty.The silence was sharp. Luhan squared his shoulders, every muscle wound tight, his breath slow and measured. The stranger’s smirk didn’t waver as if he was savoring the moment before whatever was about to unfold.“No clever words this time?” he asked. “No desperate explanations?”Luhan didn’t answer.The air pulsed with tension, each second stretching impossibly long.Then, the stranger moved.Not sudden, not violent, but slow. His gaze flickered between us before settling on Luhan like he already knew the outcome. “You always make this so much harder than it needs to be.”“If you wanted a fight,” he said with a steady voice, “You would’ve started one already.”The stranger chuckled, but there was no warmth in it. “Who says I haven’t?”And before I could even process the meaning behind his words, the shadows behind him shifted.More people.Surrounding us.We both stiff

    CATALINALuhan sagged, his chest rising and falling as relief, disbelief, and something close to grief flooded his expression. I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding as my body trembled under the weight of it all.Luhan's father stood unmoving, his gaze still locked on the discarded gun, as if the weight of what he’d almost done was only now settling into his bones. Luhan released a shaky breath, his hand hesitating between reaching for me or staying at his side. The tension between them hadn’t dissipated, not completely, but the worst had passed.I swallowed hard, pushing past the lingering ache in my shoulder. “We need to go,” I said, my voice hoarse, barely above a whisper.Luhan nodded, but his father’s voice cut through the charged silence before we could turn away.“You think you can just leave?” His tone was quiet. It wasn’t anger that kept him standing there now. It was something deeper.Luhan stiffened. “You had a gun on us.” His voice wasn’t loud, but the exhaus

    CATALINAThe streets blurred as we ran, feet pounding against pavement slick with the humidity. Luhan’s grip tightened around mine, urgent and desperate. But I knew the truth. We weren’t outrunning his father. Not really.Luhan stumbled, catching himself against the brick wall. I turned, pressing my palm against his chest, just for a second. Just to steady him.“He won’t stop,” Luhan whispered. His voice was wrecked.I anxiously swallowed because I knew he was right.I flinched at a shadow that moved at the alley’s entrance. His father caught us.Luhan stepped forward, instinctively shielding me with his own body. His father adjusted the cuff of his sleeve slowly with his eyes settling on Luhan like this was nothing more than a business transaction.“You made this much harder than it had to be.” His voice was quiet.Luhan stiffened. “She did nothing wrong.”His father sighed, his eyes flicked to me, ignoring Luhan’s plea. “And you? Do you truly believe you can save yourself?”I swal

    CATALINAI fumbled in the dark, my fingers trembling as they skimmed over the smooth, cold surface of the wall. The room smelled of dust and old wood, but beneath it all, I could still catch the faint scent of Luhan’s cologne lingering in the air. He was close. He had to be.My pulse pounded against my ears, drowning out the muffled voices beyond the door. His father was out there. If I didn’t find the button, if I didn’t open this damn door in time…I pressed my palm against the wood, feeling for the slightest indentation, the smallest shift beneath my touch. The hidden mechanism had to be here somewhere. The voices grew sharper. His father’s voice was low, commanding, and merciless.I swallowed my panic and dug my nails into the wall, tracing the grooves with desperate precision. Come on. Come on.Then, I felt it. A subtle give beneath my fingertip. A raised edge, hidden in the grain.A voice from outside: “You have nowhere to run, boy.”No. No. No. My heart lurched as I presse

    CATALINAI knocked over the glass with my hand, shattering the delicate porcelain and the comfortable silence of the early morning. The clatter echoed in the sudden void that opened up inside me.Luhan, who had been calmly staring at me just moments before, looked up, his brow furrowed with concern. My gaze was fixed on him, who had just delivered the words that irrevocably cleaved my life into a before and an after. The way he said it, it wasn’t a mistake.“Catherine… my aunt… she’s my mother?”The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. It was a cruel, impossible riddle. I had those thoughts before, but… I didn't expect it to be true.‘The Catherine right now doesn't exist.’My head spun as Mr. Yu's remarks the other day replayed in a new, distorted light. The porcelain shards on the floor glinted, reflecting the sudden, blinding realization. Catherine approached me, stole her sister's identity, and made me believe her false story.The entire story was a lie, constructed on

    CATALINA The moment he gazed at me, a cold dread wrapped around my throat, squeezing. I’d been careless and reckless in a way I couldn’t afford to be. My chest tightened as his eyes locked onto mine, unreadable, calculating.Fear crawled through me, laced with something sharper, as I felt the phone's weight in my chest like a fragile secret against my skin. Every fiber of my being screamed to keep it, to fight. But he doesn’t lunge, doesn’t demand to hand in the phone.Just silence. Patient, unnerving silence.“You don’t have to hide it,” he says, absurdly calm.The air tightened between us, but I didn’t move. That patience unsettled me. A game? A test? My heartbeat stuttered as his shadow stretched across the table, his presence too careful, too measured. It felt like a trick or worse like he was waiting to see if I would surrender of my own will.My pulse hammers, waiting for the catch, the demand, the punishment. But none comes.He lowers himself into the chair across from me,
