Regrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 32

The evening arrived, and Jennie's friends gathered at the rooftop restaurant in Seoul where her birthday celebration was planned. They found the perfect spot for dinner and were eager to surprise Jennie and wish her a happy birthday.

The restaurant, perched atop a high-rise building, boasted large windows and an open terrace that offered a breathtaking view of the city's sparkling skyline. Warm, golden lights at the entrance cast a welcoming glow, making the place look magical.

When Jennie stepped out of the elevator onto the rooftop, she paused to take in the stunning view. The city lights twinkled below, creating a dazzling display that made the night feel even more special. Her heart pounded with anticipation as she walked towards the entrance.

At the entrance, she saw Lisa waiting for her. The sight of Lisa, after weeks of separation, brought tears to Jennie’s eyes. Lisa, dressed elegantly, smiled warmly and walked towards her.

"Happy Birthday, hon," Lisa said softly, her voice filled with emotion. She stepped forward and embraced Jennie tightly. The hug was filled with deep longing.

Jennie felt tears prick her eyes as she whispered, "I missed you so much."

Lisa pulled back slightly, looking into Jennie’s eyes. "I missed you too." She smiled, "You're so beautiful, and tonight is all about you. Let’s make it unforgettable."

Hand in hand, Lisa led Jennie to a beautifully decorated area where their friends were waiting. As Jennie entered, they all stood and cheered, “Happy Birthday, Jennie!” her friends exclaimed.

Irene, Wendy, and Rosé approached her and welcomed her in a tight hug, wishing her a "Happy birthday" together with the boys.

Jennie couldn't contain her happiness seeing her friends and the effort they had made for her special day. "Thank you, guys. It means a lot to me."

As they gathered around a long table adorned with delicate floral arrangements and flickering candles, Jennie is shocked by the scene that follows. Suddenly, she saw V approaching with a cake in his hands. Jennie couldn't believe her eyes. She felt her eyes moisten with tears as she saw her best friend at her birthday celebration.

After putting the cake on the table, V gave a big smile and wished her, "Happy birthday, Jennie."

Jennie couldn't resist getting up from her chair and embracing him tightly. "You idiot! You know how much I missed you," she complained, tears in her eyes.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry... It was the hardest thing I've ever done, ignoring you," V replied with a smile. "And Jennie, Lisa would be jealous if you hugged me like this in front of her," he added.

Everyone burst out laughing. The entire place echoed with joy. Lisa blushed slightly embarrassed, "You guys, please stop teasing me."

"Alright, Jennie, now it's time to cut the cake," Wendy exclaimed with excitement.

Everyone sang “Happy Birthday” as Jennie made a wish, blew out the candles, and cut the cake. She fed the first slice of cake to Lisa, and then to everyone present.

The night continued with more laughter, stories, and even some impromptu dancing. Jennie felt enveloped in love and warmth, the city lights shimmering behind her like a blanket of stars.

Later on, Jennie and Lisa stepped aside to a quieter corner of the terrace, looking out at the heart of Seoul. The view was breathtaking, the city lights twinkling like jewels.

Jennie turned to Lisa, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Lisa, I can't thank you enough for tonight. Seeing V again... it was the best surprise ever."

Lisa smiled warmly, squeezing Jennie's hand. "I knew how much you missed him. It wasn't easy to get him here, but it was worth it to see you so happy."
