Penn's room, with a large mirror 🪞 fully covering one side of the wall, a yoga 🧘‍♂️ space, and a separate room closet full of designer clothes👔👕👖, shoes 👞👟👢 and accessories 🎩⌚️. His private bathroom is decorated with luxurious perfumed candles 🕯🕯🕯 and with bottles of the most expensive skin care Creme de Lameh 🧴🍦. The setup was enough to make Jayda bite her scarf with deep envy🥺. All the nice things he had in his room!✨️✨️✨️ Disgustingly pungent heavy perfumes cover the whole room enough to make Clara pukes her breakfast out in no time. 🤮

Mateo's room, down in a hidden basement 🕸 of the chapter house with a "Store Room" sign hanging in front of the creepy repaired broken door🚪. A cold dark place with a simple bed 🛏 with clean white sheets… too clean that it smells like it's freshly bleached 🧺. Some strange devices according to Clara, they look like some kind of normal bodybuilding equipment, a boxing punch bag🥊, perhaps?🤔 But Jayda thinks that thing looks suspiciously like a body being wrapped and hung like a punching bag?😨 A faint strange sound 🙉 came out from a large closet that seemed like something knocking from the inside🚪. That bright yellow bunny🐰 plushie was hung up on its neck. Probably he just washed the plushie and let it dry that way. Probably…🤨

Next, the largest master bedroom of the chapter house🏫, Aron's place. Or it's actually the library📚📚📚. The well organized shelves of books with a large classic desk in the middle, and a slick laptop💻 connected to an old style typewriter⌨️ keyboard. Ink bottles, fountain pen✒️, unbleached papers📝 with a few crumbled pieces on the floor. Books piled up and took half of his single bed space.📚📚📚🛏 Oh! that beautiful scent of fresh new books. So refined, such elegance, many knowledge, much sophisticated (the broken english written in this sentence is on purpose, in reference to the Doge meme)🙄… That’s what makes Jayda very adore this posh young man🥰. Oh! Jayda dreamt to be Elizabeth Bennet while Aron plays Mr Darcy.😍

😅Clara: Hello? Isn’t Romeo and Juliet easier for the readers?

😑Jayda: Oh, Clara! It’s all about the depth and quality of a gentleman🥰! Shakespear is too basic!🙄

😅Clara: Haven’t seen the guys around in the house.

🤔Jayda: Let’s check out Gabe’s room.

They climbed the stairs and went to the second floor, and went into a noisy room.

😠Gabe: You guys are lousy players! 😫Aron! You’re too slow!

😟Aron: C’mon, the old man is still telling the lore of the game!

Gabe: Gah! Scrub!😮‍💨 We normally skip the damn lore! 🙄 Not gonna wait for ya! I’m moving to the next mission! 😨Wait… Shit, why the NPC’s not here? MATE!

😮Mateo: What?

Pressing on the game console 🎮 frantically with both thumbs, Mateo kept slashing the creature that appeared on his screen.📺

Gabe: 😫Curse you! That’s an NPC! Mate! 😡You can’t kill him! I need him for the mission items!

🏃‍♂️Jumping… Jumping…

Gabe: 😳Wait… what’s that?! 😫God damn! PENN!

Penn: 😬Ya’all too slow, I’ll move on to the next level!

Gabe: 😡Shit what’s that! 😱Why your character’s naked?

Penn: 😝I installed this patch, and I got my speed and agility doubled without armor!

Gabe: 😵That’s cheating! 😫Aaahhh! What f’king patch did you downloaded to ma game?!

Penn: 🤔Well… it saids “Special censored version, makes your game child friendly, no blood.”😙

When Mateo hit his final attack on the creature, 💥Tub… a burst of white liquid 💦splattered everywhere in the game world. 😨

Gabe: 🤢That’s… super… DISGUSTING!!!🤮

Jayda: 🙄Well, ya know Clara. The greatest competitor of our romance is a game console.🎮

After that Book Launch Party, the boys had been sleeping in Gabe's room at night. They still have to attend class and report themselves to the officer. After settling with the fan girls and sending them back 🛩to their homes safely…

Jayda: 🤨Strangely, the bill I received did not include the flight back to Italy… 😑Where’s your relatives, Mate?

Mateo: 😮They have other places to visit in this city…

Jayda: 😠Damn it! My “all expenses paid” 💸trip does not include tourism! Okay!

Mateo: 😶Yes, ma’am.

📃📃📃Clara put down a bunch of bills on the floor, those are the records of all who attended the book launch party.

Clara: 😮‍💨We had tried to locate the person who attacked you, Gabe. We can’t find any of her traces. 😟Even Sargent Nero and his team were unable to locate her.

Jayda: 😌Well, I understand now. Aron is such a great friend with a caring heart. He knew Gabe could be in danger anytime and he stayed with Gabe throughout these few days just to protect him…🥺

Aron: 😮Erm, we are not worried about that.

Penn: 😗Yeah, the fans club committee is now doing a full membership audit.

Mate: 😐No problem, she’s in the closet.

Gabe: 😲Then who’s in the punching bag?

Mate: 😮 The previous one…

Jayda: ⁉️ 🌩😱🌩

Clara: 😮‍💨I understand… being in the closet is difficult but it's the safest option compared to be out and being a punching bag.🙄

😫Jayda: [Clara, are you out of your mind? That’s freaking creepy AF!]

😅Clara: [Nah, Jayda, you’re just too paranoid! He probably meant about being gay... ya know, closet is a lingo...]

😱Jayda: [No I’m NOT! I swear I heard something in his closet!]

🙄Clara: [Remember last time you suspected Aron to be a vampy?]🧛

😡Jayda: [Damn it! Clara! Don’t you expect me to help you when you’re in trouble!]

In anger, Jayda bursted out of Gabe’s room…

📱Ding… You’ve got a new message…

😩Jayda: [Him again?]

She swiped her phone to unlock the screen.

12 New Message from Sargent Nero.

😓Jayda: [After that night, this guy kept messaging me for… 😳wait… right! He’s a police officer! 😬He can help me!]

To be continue…

Do not expect me to update coz this story gonna be in hiatus again…
