"Why did you drag me into this again?" I asked my sister the third time today.
"Because, I don't want you to miss the fun!" She said with a smiling face. She's lying. That is absolutely not the reason why she brought me into this trip. She decided to take me to that Crestfallen camp, so that she can have someone to take photos of her, or help her wallow even more.
She has been crying over her ex for a month now. Every weekend, she tells me that she's over him already, but of course, it's a lie. That douchebag ruined her badly. It affected her studies. Well, in a positive way. Her grades went up, but her health is not in its best condition. She overworks herself these days. Not good, right? She stays up until 3 AM for school, and cries for about thirty minutes before sleeping. Her eyes are always swollen when she wakes up.
"I'm just glad you're here with me, Chaeryeong." My sister, Chaeyeon, squeezed my hand and gave me a genuine smile. See, that's the reason why. She's too pure for me to say no to her.
We were already at the dock near the large boats parked beside it. This was the said location of the meeting place. It was deserted, and made me nervous for a second.
"Oh hi there! The two of you are a bit early," The man in a white polo uniform and khaki pabts said.
Both of us just smiled. He went up to a boat parked right in front of us, and a man with the same outfit walked up to it as well.
"This is the service boat of the Crestfallen Camp. Our camp name does sound sad, but I promise you that you will enjoy your stay here."
"I am Hyunjin, at your service." He smiled at the both us, and I could see my lovely sister blushing because of what he did.
"Now, here are the rules of the camp. Please read it thoroughly." He sounded like he was warning us or something by his tone, but of course, I didn't mind.
Before I could read the laminated list that he gave, my sister whispered to me. "That boy is kinda hot!"
I whispered back. "Sis, you're here to forget love lives, and focus on yourself. Not fall in love all over again!"
I gazed down to the list, and there were a total of five rules that we must follow. Or does this apply to me too? I was only dragged.
1. Throw your trash in the proper bin. 2. You can't swim farther from the reef. (or if you want to, go ahead. die then :D)
What the...
3. Be nice to other campers. 4. Leave the island when you're already fine. 5. DO NOT FALL IN LOVE.
What's with the all-caps on the last one? It's as if our life is on the line if we ever did fall in love. One thing's for sure, I won't.

Another boat came with the waves of the sea. I sprinted out of my cabin, and got myself ready to welcome them. It's always been my routine ever since I got here a month ago. Every week, it's either someone leaves of someone comes. I, however, was the one who always stayed. All my batch mates left me after two weeks. The pain in my heart is still here, that's why I still haven't had the courage to leave.
There were two girls on the boat. Hyunjin was the one assisting them. He waved his hands to me, and I gave him a nod and smiled. He's always the one who welcomes guests. Miss Yeji said he's the perfect guy for that. It makes the guests excited to see what's in here.
She could've just said she's proud of their genes. Hyunjin and Miss Yeji are cousins. I used to think they were twins, but Hyunjin made it clear for me.
As the girls got off their boat, I waved my hands to them. The girl with the red hair gave me a smile, and gave a quick bow.
I helped them with their luggage, and sent them to their cabin. Theirs was bigger than mine, which was acceptable, since they share one cabin.
"Hi, I'm Yuna. Shin Yuna," I introduced myself.
The other girl was busy unpacking, and checking her outfits for later. So, the other girl answered. The one with the red hair, I mean. "I'm Chaeryeong. That one over there, is my older sister, Chaeyeon."
"Oh." It's odd to see siblings go here at the same time.
"So, what brings both of you here?" I asked her.
"Oh me? My sister only wanted me to come. She's the one who has the benefits in this place, not me." She shook her head.
"Oh I see." "What about you?" She asked right away. I was taken aback. I did not want to answer that question, but since I didn't want to give a foul impression, I answered her honestly.
"My parents are getting divorced." After saying that, Chaeryeong's eyes were suddenly filled with guilt. She regretted asking me that question. That was the last thing I want her to feel, so, to lighten up the mood, I laughed.
"Oh please, don't feel bad. I'm fine. This camp will make you feel better. That's what I can promise you." I winked at her sister, and she sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness. I can finally forget about that jerk." I laughed at her expression, and told them that I'll leave them now.
I got back to my cabin, and the moment I shut the door behind me. My tears went falling down to my cheeks. It hurts. It still does.
My family seemed so perfect before, but now? It's all ruined.
