CHAPTER 48

"Israel, are you alive?" In disbelief, Eli approaches the confused Israel, and he's inspecting Israel's body.

I, on the other hand, was powerless to stop Eli. I'm still shocked that he saw me with Israel.

"Excuse me." Israel moved away a little. "Do I know you?"

"Are you kidding me? How come you don't recognize me-"

"I mean, I know you, Eli. Actually, both Corrine and I are fans of you. But what I'm curious about is that... How did you know me? Have we met before? At a fan meeting? At your concert?"

"You must be kidding me, bro."

"Huh-"

"Maybe he's just confused. Just ignore it, we'll go first." I intervened in the conversation between the two of them before I looked at Eli. "Let's go."

"I'm still talking to him-"

"Bye!" I said goodbye to Israel, I made sure to pull Eli out of there.

He was still struggling to get away from me but I didn't let him. When we both got into his car, silence enveloped us for a moment.

"Could you please explain everything to me?"

I let out a heavy sigh befo
