Chapter 4 - chapter 3: Horror then Shock

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the only day of the week Ji Susu took a break to rest, and let her body and mind heal.

Songwriting and composing has always been an emotional experience for her. She pulls her emotions into each of her songs and sometimes it so easy to get stuck in it so sundays are days to detox and relax, she called it Detox Sunday.

She had just woken up from her nap, and drowsy when she heard the sound of a received notification, opening her phone to check it was from a socialites from the Chu Family.

Curious she had messaged her, she clicked it. They were not friends, to her they were just nodding acquaintances in fact this was the first time she messaged so she was curious to what prompted the text.

Finally looking at the message she saw a single line 'Have you checked the recent trending news, you might want to see that.'

The news caused immediate soberness and m the drowsiness to leave. She sat up immediately and began to check other notifications.

Starting from the top of the notification, I saw missed calls and messages from my friend Bai Bai clicking on one of them to open her page. I see several unread messages from her starting from the earliest it read: 'Our friends nominated me as the spokesperson for your side of the issue online, Fu Mingu is checking up with Huaiu's side.'

'Don't worry we will get to the root of the issue and don't mind the nasty comments just ignore it. We know the truth'

Missed call x5

'Hey what's going with you and Huaiu, did you see that video? Neither of you are answering our calls', we are so worried.'

Missed call x3

'Why aren't you responding we are so worried, don't you check you phone on Saturday'

'Susu please answer you phone, you mom and brother messaged me asking about you, even they can't reach'

Missed call x11

'Okay I drove by your studio it locked as usual so I am going to assume you're fine, just asleep and wait until afternoon after 2pm.'

'If you don't message or call back by then. I will tell your family you're missing and file a missing report without the 24 hours wait window.'

I immediately call her,.she never makes empty threats 'Hey Bai bai, I am great just woke up, I went to my apartment and didn't spend the night in the studio as usual'

'why was there anything wrong and thank goodness you reached back, we were so worried and I was on my way to your studio again. Okay ontact your family they are so worried. I am ranting again! You make me feel like a mom sometimes. Also after you check the news online get back to me - I meant us! Huaiu isn't like that' She replies

'I finished around 1am 5 hours earlier so j decided to go back to my apartment to rest and I will call them and get back to you...' I assure her.

Swiping to my mom'spage I call her and she immediately answers to which I start apologizing before then explaining why I wasn't responding to any texts or calls. I then assure her I am okay and that BaiBai and I will handle things.

She immediately replied 'Okay darling, rest well you know your family is always here for you'

'Yes mom I know, can you tell Dad and brother I am alright I will, but you have to call them later okay' I plead itching to see the news online that caused such a huge reaction from everyone.

'Sure I will darling' She agrees before hanging up.

I immediately open my Socials and the surprise was an understatement.
