Li's POV    

I

     I woke up squinting my eyes from the sun’s shiny rays that entered the small gaps between my window curtains. I felt something wet in my cheek and wiped it out. I stayed sitting on my bed for a minute; recalling my dream, yawning and scanning my room as if searching for someone or something.

               After pushing myself up, I walked towards my study desk and pulled out the drawer. Arching my body downwards, I searched for my diary. My eyebrows furrowed as I irritably pulled out the drawer then laid it down my perfectly furnished wooden floor. I unconsciously scattered my things on the floor and lifted the case upside down. My eyes widened as my mouth formed into an O shape when reality hit me.

“! My diary's missing!” I shouted under my breath and panickly checked my study desk again hoping it’s just in there. “Nononononoooo!”

               I ran a hand through my hair and sat down my bed trying to calm myself. My heart is thumping loudly against my chest which I automatically cover with my hands thinking my brother from the next room can hear it.

               I stayed like that for some minutes gathering my thoughts. I let out a heavy sigh then gulped big time. I looked at my messy floor and finally decided to fix things up. I stood up biting my lower lip firmly. I am about to pick up my pen when I felt something under my left foot and froze while eyeing the strange thing and tilted my head in confusion before leaning down.

“I never owned a voice recorder ever since,” I murmured while picking it up and brushed away the dust that’s making it look old.

“Who the heck bought this when it’s the 21st century already?” I scoffed and pressed the play button.

               I tapped my foot, impatiently waiting for a response. Suddenly, a screeching noise echoed. The recorder accidentally slid out of my hands and landed on the floor. I immediately covered my ears like a 7-year old kid not wanting to hear the thud. I got irritated and nervous at the same time but also afraid that the recorder might break from the sudden fall but fortunately it didn’t.

               I sighed as the infuriating noise faded away at the same time surprised to the old thing's good quality.

“Pretty strong huh?” I grinned while talking to it as if it can hear me.

               But what surprised me the most is when I heard a very deep voice coming from the device. Singing a song.

               When the he stopped singing, I slowly picked it up without noticing my jaw
