'I'm so very dead.' Aria mumbled to herself hearing giggling sound from the outside.

Alan had taken the ground floor room which had a study table which wasn't present in other rooms expect Isaac's room which was on the first floor.

​​

Alan had just roughly pulled white translucent curtains to cover the floor to ceiling windows so when Rian and Eva were going towards the beach to enjoy the morning breeze and blue water noticed them.

When Aria heard Rian say about pictures, she tossed towards Alan as she pulled the duvet up cover her head which reached till Alan's neck who woke up by her many movements.

"Did you catch a cold?" Alan asked removing the duvet from her head keeping his eyes shut and checking her temperature.

"I'm caught red-handed." Her nasal tone sounded adorable.

Alan realized what she meant and opened his eyes to see her blushing chewing her lip. "Ignore them. Sleep a little more time. Later I will hack Rian's mobile and erase the pictures or videos."

He kissed her forehead pulling her closer and both slept again.

As soon as Eva and Rian saw Alan's hand moving and opening his eyes, they had run away knowing he was awake.

Rian took his painting necessary out to paint. Noah was still snuggling with his pillows. Isaac and Eva who had gone to negative started from zero with light talks.

Eva helped him in the kitchen to prepare breakfast as they spoke about random things. They called everyone for breakfast.

Rian and Eva tried to tease Aria but she played dumb saying they might have dreamed. Rian frantically searched for the pictures but didn't find any confusing the duo and dropping the topic.

They spent three days on the island where only Alan worked.

Eva and Isaac voluntarily were taking the kitchen every single time. Noah and Rian didn't help them to give them private time.

The waste bodies in them were Aria and Noah who had nothing to do other than playing video games, walking around and discussing Noah's plans about his Zoah sports.

On the last day, Aria and Rian were dueling in the game when Isaac and Eva completed the kitchen work and joined them.

Bored Noah suggested, "How about five raiding a dungeon?"

All agreed and logged in their mobiles. Aria invited them who had all the four in the friend list. Eva had too but she didn't know Isaac was her game friend until all accepted.

Eva froze seeing the list. She knew her friend's user names so she turned to Isaac who was checking on his avatar gear.

Aria spoke without noticing, "Let Isaac lead the team. His maneuver is top grade and is one of the top 20 players."

Rian and Noah checked Isaac's level and were exclaiming when Isaac realized Eva looking at him.

"What's wrong?"

Eva didn't speak and Isaac heard Aria say, "Mighty_Ave, why are you froze?"

Isaac knew that Game ID well, his hands trembled slightly before quickly checking their game team.

Isaac too froze remembering what they had chatted a few days back.

Eva bit her lip and went upstairs to her room as she said, "I'm sleepy."

Isaac smiled bitterly and left too without saying anything.

The trio looked at each other without understanding what happened. The three couldn't win as the two top players left them so they closed and went to their rooms.

Aria didn't think too much about their behavior. She eavesdropped Alan's web conference silently before she dozed off on his lap who continued his meeting.

Eva and Isaac had become night owls thinking about each other.

-- About fifteen days back --

Eva had logged in the game and was playing when she got the reply to a message from the game application.

"Mighty_Ave What's up? You always stay online nowadays."

Eva didn't lie, "Killing monsters to get rid of frustration."

Isaac had a free day between his shoot. He had no mood to go sightseeing in that country where he visited numerous times. Hence he was time passing and opened the game.

He replied after seeing the response, "Hahaha, is that that working?"

The response wasn't instant and got the late reply, "Yes but the sad part is I'll feel bad for killing the monster."

Isaac's reply was instant who was online, "So you want to kill the person yet you don't want the person to die."

"Kind of."

Their chat stopped and both played as a team against other opponents to win a tournament.

After the first round, both won and messaged while waiting for the next round.

Isaac: "Did you fight with your boyf or husband that you are so much conflicted?" They only knew their gender and other things were unknown to each other.

Eva sent him laughing emojis, "If he was my boyf, I would have kicked his ass and made him listen to me."

Isaac: "(Laughing emojis)

No comments if husband."

Eva's reply was instant, "What husband? I'm still a schoolgirl."

Isaac really didn't think too much about it as most of the people lie and just play games.

"So little girl has a crush on a boy."

"That man has lots of admirers."

"Hooo School girls' heartthrob! Little girl, you have a long way and you will get a better one."

Eva saw the message but couldn't reply as the second round in the game tournament started. Their gaming coordination and fluidity were good which led them to the finale which was after an hour.

Eva checked the message and smiled. She didn't feel the necessity to say that she didn't have a crush on any schoolboy.

Isaac who thought about Eva and himself sent a message, "Mighty_Ave, you should confess your feelings."

Eva's reply took time thinking about Isaac, "Knight_life, he is running away from me and I don't even know what he thinks about me. How can I confess?"

Isaac didn't know his game friend so he wasn't sure how to respond to that question so he became silent.

Eva who waited for reply asked, "Have you confessed to anybody? How to handle rejection? I don't want to make it awkward between us after it."

Isaac casually replied, "Mine is ignoring me and treating me as a stranger. Well! Even I'm thinking the same as you."

Eva giggled seeing reply. "Then close the distance and confess her before it's too late."

Both continued to chat. Isaac spoke about Eva to Eva. Eva spoke about Isaac to Isaac but both didn't know who the person was and who was the person they talking about.

The duo won the game tournament, shared the prize collection and logged off.

Eva went to bed at dawn time. Isaac hit the gym in the evening.
