it's been 2 weeks. i've heard them talking about me getting released soon.

i like this place. i've enjoyed my stay here even though it is a hospital and i'm here because i tried to kill myself lol...

it has a nice vibe. it's december 3rd meaning i've been in here since november 19th. i've missed thanksgiving.

i told my family to have it without me since i didn't want to be a burden on them.

for a few days i've been thinking. how will it be when i get back to school? i will have a scar on my neck, and the fact that i just went missing was sure to cause some attention to me.

i just wanna stay... hidden yk? i don't want people asking me what happened, i just want to spend time with my friends.

i don't have a lot of friend though. just jungeun and jinsoul who has been coming here everyday after classes. they tell me what they learned (which was usually nothing) and what others had been saying to me.

"hello hyeju!" jungeun and jinsoul said as they walked into the room. oh yeah, i've let them call me hyeju. it makes me feel happy.

"hey!" i said back. "look what we brought!" jinsoul said as she took a white box out of her bag. "open it!" jungeun told me as i took the box.

i struggled to find the opening without ripping the cardboard.

i finally got it open and i saw 2 things. 1 was a locket. and the other were macarons. "i saw those at the market and i got reminded of you!" jinsoul told me. "i got you the locket so you can remember us when you sad instead of slicing your neck!" jungeun said.

i couldn't help but laugh at that comment. its been nice having those 2 with me. i even forgot why i was so sad that day. whatever it was, it's gone now!

"thank you guys!" i said as i leaned in to hug the 2.

"your welcome. now get us really good christmas presents" jinsoul said. jungeun hit her arm and glared at her. "what? those were NOT cheap" jinsoul said.

"don't worry i will." i told them.

"good!" jinsoul said.

"so how has dance class been?" i asked. "oh same as usual. the girls are confused as to where you went. they think we know something.." jungeun told me. "i'm surprised that i haven't told them yet... do you know how many puppy eyes jiwoo is capable of giving in a day?" jinsoul asked.

i really like jinsoul. not in that way obviously.. i think her and jungeun are a good match. they are both funny and they seem to enjoy each others company a lot. agh. i wish i had someone like that...

today is december 3rd which marks the 14th day of hyeju not being here. it's really starting to worry me. when i'm around the dance team i just laugh but i really an worried.

i wonder where she is. what she's doing. how she is.

was she that mad at me that she ran away? it's weird...

i think i'm starting to get hyeju deprived... i thought i heard her earlier in class but she wasn't there.

it's weird not having her with me. i know we were apart for years, but i finally found her again and she just disappears again?

weird...

today was very nice. i got my stitches in but i have to wear this bandage on my neck still. i will be discharged in 2 days.

they are giving me the choice to go to therapy, or not.

i mean...

im not sure. if i say yes, i have 2 options. 1, go to therapy and go to school, or go to a therapy resort and miss it. the resort is in busan.

i looked at pictures and it seemed pretty nice.

i'm learning toward the obvious one. the resort. who needs school. i'll be there for 2 weeks if i go. it starts on the 5th so i have 2 days to figure it out.

today was pretty chill. i ate some really good soup dumplings. they were bussin

"hello hyeju!" nurse jihyo said as she walked into my room. "oh hey" i replied.

"did you make up your mind?" she asked. i don't get why i have to even go to therapy. i was just really mad and upset that one day. it's not a big deal...

"yeah" i told her. "what is it?" she asked. "the resort... duh.." i told her.

"i would've chose the same" she told me. "who wouldn't it's a literal resort?" i asked. "i was placing bets with dubu and she told me she was still go to school..." jihyo told me.

"...loser..." i said. i cant imagine dubu saying that...

"so what are you watching?" jihyo asked. "age of youth" i told her. "is it good?" she asked.

"yeah but it reminds me of cheesecake. now i want cheesecake" i told her.

"you always want cheesecake. that's all you've asked for this whole time" she told me. "it's just so good though" i told her. "how about this. for christmas eve we can get some cheesecake." she said. "oh my gosh yes." i told her. "okay! i gotta go back and tell them you said the resort. have a nice sleep olivia!" jihyo said as she left the room.

"ooo... cheesecake..." i mumbled as i tucked myself in.

all day i've been trying to find hyeju. she wasn't at dance class which is weird for her since she's always loved dance.

"where is olivia hye?" haseul asked angrily. i would be mad too. i mean, she did just disappear and leave us here. we don't know when she'll come back so it's hard to make the choreo with a missing person. "i don't know" i told her.

"i wonder when she'll come back" hyunjin said. "hopefully soon because what's the point of a dance class if you won't be attend?" haseul said.

i mean... it was the truth...
