teddy yawned as he walked around the house, sweatshirt hood up to help him stay warm. he was hoping to be more productive today than he had the last few days. he had to feign illness, sick from something he ate, in order to cover up the intense fatigue he had felt. but now he felt better, and he had to eat something. he walked into the kitchen and over to the fridge. he heard someone else come in but didn’t turn around. “ hey, did i miss anything while i was bedridden? ” he asks, trying to make conversation through a joke. best to get back to living as soon as he could, he figured. he planned on going to the pool later.

“did you need something?” daehwi asked, not even looking at the other person. he’d been stretched out on one of the lawn chairs, soaking up the sun, his bronze skin glistening slightly from sweat. it was hot outside, and he was really just trying to enjoy this vacation with the pretty girls (and guys) and the time away from his father. for once, he wasn’t worried about what his father thought about him. “though, if the view is you, i’m not complaining.” he grins, pulling his sunglasses down slightly. 

a feeling of unease settled deep in sadie’s stomach at the thought of stumbling upon evie’s dead body. even though she was still technically only missing, she couldn’t stop thinking about what it could mean. the same twisted daydream played over and over, leaving her in a constant daze. already the jumpy creature, sadhita felt even more on edge as she set on the edge of shore by herself. never the one for solitude, for some odd reason paranoia seemed to gnaw away at her. the brunette shakily pulled out a cigarette from her bag but had trouble actually getting the thing to light. frustrated, she wore down her thumb trying to get her white lighter to spark. “what the bloody flippin’ fuck,” she muttered out, smacking the plastic against her knee. “this cheap piece of shit is going to give me an aneurysm!”
