𝑱𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆'𝒔 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆:

I stepped out of my private elevator into the parking lot, got into my car, and broke down in tears. Why did I fall in love with someone who doesn't love me back? I confessed to Lisa earlier, and she didn’t say anything, but I know it was a rejection.

I wiped away my tears, thinking, Maybe no one can ever love me. I'm not worthy of love.

My so-called wife claims to love me, but it’s not love—it’s obsession. And my parents... they’ve always controlled me, never once caring about how I felt. So why would anyone else care about my feelings?

I started the car and drove toward one of my apartments. Yes, I own several apartments no one knows about. I can stay here in peace. I avoid staying with Tzuyu because she’s insufferable. If I spend a week at home, I spend two weeks avoiding it. In fact, I’d prefer not to spend even a single day with her, but if I don’t, my parents get furious. That's the only reason I go home at all. Tzuyu drives me crazy, but... my Lisa... I can’t get her out of my mind.

Oh God, I have to do something about this. It's not good to keep thinking about someone who doesn't feel the same way.

It’s been so long since I visited Hawaii. I should go there-it's my favorite place, and it always helps me feel better.

I decided to call Jisoo unnie. She’s the general manager of my resort in Hawaii, but no one knows I own it—they all think it’s Jisoo’s. She’s also my childhood best friend, the one person I trust with everything.

I dialed her number, knowing I had to get away from here. If I stayed, I’d never be able to stop thinking about Lisa. After a few rings, she picked up.

"Hey, mandu-yah! How are you?" Jisoo’s voice was light and familiar.

"Hi, unnie. I’m fine, how about you?"

"I’m good! It’s been ages since you called. What’s up, Miss Busy Mandu?" she teased.

I pouted, even though she couldn’t see me, and replied, "Yeah, I’ve been busy. Actually, I’m coming to Hawaii tomorrow, so can you pick me up from the airport in the morning?"

"Hmm, okay, but this is sudden. Is everything okay?" She sounded concerned.

"Yeah, everything’s fine. I’ll tell you more when I get there. Bye, unnie." I quickly ended the call before she could ask more questions, which I wasn’t ready to answer.

I got up and started packing my things. As I zipped up my suitcase, I texted my driver.

To Driver: "I’m at *****. Pick me up here and take me to the airport." — 8:10 pm.

A few seconds later, he replied.

From Driver: "On my way, boss. I’ll be there in a few minutes." — 8:11 pm.

I let out a long sigh, trying to keep my mind focused. I sat down on the couch and sent a message to Seulgi.

To Buddy Bear 🐻: "Hey, Seul. I’m heading to Hawaii for a few days. Something urgent came up. Please handle things at the office while I’m gone. And by the way, I’m really sorry for snapping at you earlier. Forgive me?" — 8:13 pm.

To my surprise, she replied almost immediately.

From Buddy Bear 🐻: "It’s okay, dude. But why are you leaving all of a sudden? There’s so much work at the office. How am I supposed to manage it all?" — 8:14 pm.
