Where did it go wrong?

He knows that it is because of him.

Walking aimlessly, Chadwick stared at nothingness, quite couldn’t figure out what to do. This is the first time he learned to love someone else again, but he’s always been clashing against the situations. He did not mean to choose Isa over Adira. The situation only allowed him to save Isa first!

But should he treat the unavoidable situations as his enemy? Or the one who created those incidents, rather?

“Haaaa,” Chadwick sighed.

He walked into the dim.

Droplets of water dripping down from his dark brown hair, the hemline of his shorts and his wrinkled shirt. Soaked with water, his skin was bitten by the cold wind. Hair stood up on each end and her lips quivered in the raw cold breeze of the beach. Yet, he cannot

    Early in the morning, Isa went out to walk on the shore. She could hear the sounds of waves applauding and hugging the shore, an internal pleasant sound of the body out in the world’s biggest pool.She inhaled the salty smell of the wind, so strong that it dances on her taste buds. Carrying her sandals, Isa looked at the ocean that looks exceptionally blue today with a slight green undertone. The surface looked as though it was covered with millions of diamonds crashing with the waves and kissing the white sand.It feels like standing on a coarse cloud that she could just sleep into, as the sand went between her feel. The water is teasing her toes and running back into hiding. Repeating the cycle getting closer and closer each time until she felt the rush of the current under her and the sand being pulled out from between her toes and back into the ocean.The sea really has the ability to let someone relax, to take a break and melt worries and distractions. But no matter how majestic t

    Wearing aprons, the two handsome men began to cook for breakfast.As the invisible timer began ticking, Chadwick grabbed the blender from the side. He placed egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and hot sauce all in the blender. Then, he pulsed it for 5 seconds. He streamed in it the melted butter until it completely blended. Next, he put the Hollandaise sauce in a pan of hot water to keep it warm.As he opened the fire, Chadwick looked at his opponent.Not bothering to watch Chadwick, Geoffrey places the vegetables on the cutting board. He cut off a third of the sweet red pepper and the whole jalapeno and cleaned out the seeds. Then, he diced both into tiny pieces. He cut half the onion into tiny pieces before he grabbed two pans he would use.When Geoffrey picked out the tortillas, Chadwick can guess what he will cook. He shook his head and tried to focus on his dish.Chadwick placed a pan on the other stove. He heated up the Canadian bacon slices until it went brown. Then, he toa

    The reason why Chadwick and Geoffrey wanted Adira to choose who cooked the best, is it because of their pride? Their urge to win against each other?Declining to give them satisfaction, Adira purposely did not give her answer. Thus, she transferred all responsibility to the employees who came to the cottage.“Come here, guys. I have something for you~”The employees looked at each other. They all know about what happened last night; when Adira drowned, and Chadwick failed to save her. Surely, it must be difficult to get along with the couple, however, they doubted if they were right. Looking at the smiling Adira and her husband who’s wearing an apron, they thought that maybe, it is finally safe to approach the two.They wore awkward smiles as they walked near the three. Then, Adira began to introduce the dishes.“Here, we have two candidates,” Adira said, placing two plates on the other table. “Eggs Benedict and Burrito. Have a taste and decide which one is better.”The five employees

    Adira’s POVThe first thing that I did after knowing that Geoffrey is related to Isa and Chadwick is investigate. When they first met and how they became acquainted with each other.Geoffrey transferred into Isa and Chadwick’s school during high school. There they made friends, and students called them a trio who cannot be separated. But before graduation, the three suddenly stopped hanging out together, leaving Geoffrey alone while Isa and Chadwick were still good friends.The reason why their friendship broke isn’t plucking stars up in the night sky. It is so easy to guess.‘Probably, it is because of a woman.’Perhaps, Geoffrey avoided them after getting confessed by his stepsister.

    Geoffrey felt his body aching here and there. He slept for almost half a day after cooking burritos for everyone. When he imagined the smell and the texture of the burritos, chills ran up to his spine. He shook his head and went out to visit the beach. As he walked towards the shore, the sun is readying itself to set in the West. He could hear the sound of the waves pushing and pulling on the shore and the echoes of the laughter. He sniffed that salty smell of the ocean; he could taste the strong taste on his buds. Geoffrey stopped for a moment and enjoyed staring at the enormous water that is exceptionally blue today. The sands look like diamonds crashing with the waves. 12 years ago, he remembered the fond memories he shared in this place together with his mother and his loving stepfather. Even if he is not his stepfather’s real son, he felt the genuine love and affection he gave to him. Those days could not have felt more perfect. Being in this place gives him feeling that he’
