We bought some food from a nearby drive thru, before going to the drive-in theatre. I'm actually very excited since it's been so long since Hyunjin and I went out.
"It's starting!" His eyes lit up like a small child opening his presents on Christmas day.
I've actually watched 'A Walk to Remember' way too many times, but never with Hyunjin. I've memorized most of the lines and know which scenes are after which.
The movie started and all his attention went onto the big screen. I couldn't... I couldn't look at anything else other than him.
Well...
"What the-" I looked out the side window and saw a couple fucking inside their car. Too bad their windows aren't tinted- like come on, it's only the beginning of the movie...
"Mmh?" Hyunjin whimpered, his eyes still fixed onto the screen.
"Nothing!" I laughed in complete embarrassment. I didn't even do anything bad, I just feel so disturbed because of what I have witnessed.
The movie went on, I waited for my favourite scenes until it was finally almost over.
"Hun?" I looked at him and saw that he's crying so hard. Almost forgot that he's a total softie whenever it comes to these things.
"T-This is so sad." Hyunjin bawled.
"Awe, don't cry! You'll make me cry..." I suddenly started tearing up at the sight of him being all sad.
"No! Don't cry too." His eyes landed on mine and we both started crying together.

Wow, that movie was... just wow.
"Why'd you pick that movie?" I asked Jennie while we were on our way to a restaurant.
"Because it was the only thing they were showing," She mischievously laughed. "And just because I really love that movie."
"Let's see the sunrise together in Jeju. I know it may not be Greece, but it's just as nice." I placed my right hand onto her thighs, while the other hand is stirring the wheel.
"I'd love too." Jennie replied, almost breathless.
We soon arrived at the restaurant and was finally seated. The place is pretty high-end, and our outfits really didn't match the ambiance...
"Nice sweater." I complimented her as a joke.
"You too. Seems very comfy." She understood my humour right away.
"Just order whatever you want, hun. By the way, what can't you eat? I want to make sure." We looked at the menu together.
"Well, I'm not really into meat right now except for frog meat... I don't like fried foods either- I think it's the oil? Although, I really like sweets and vegetables."
"Vegetables and frog meat?!?! Since when did you like those?" My eyes grew wide at her. Jennie has always hated frog meat and she never ate her veggies.
"Ever since this little angel started forming in my tummy." She sweetly smiled while rubbing her belly. It's actually starting to get really big.
"How long has it been?" I put my hand on top of hers.
"Well, when I told you... I think I was actually five weeks in already- so about thirteen weeks now. That's why it's as big as a peach now." She proudly told me.
"Do you know what gender yet?" I asked her. I feel like I don't have the right to ask her these things, but at the same time I do.
"Not yet. Maybe in three weeks- after our trip, I'll make sure to go see. By the way, we should pick a name!" Her eyes twinkled under the lights.
We?
"Are you sure you want me to name it with you?" I don't deserve to, I know that for sure.
"Of course! We have to pick it together." Jennie started fiddling with the necklace.
"English or Korean name?" I leaned in closer to her.
"Both!" She laughed. "Let's pick a girl name and a boy name."
"Jin Hyun for a boy is cute, don't you think? It's like Hyun Jin but switch." Jennie chuckled.
"English name could be Jacob," I suggested and she nodded fondly. "If it's a girl, then Eunha. It means galaxy."
"Wow, I love that! English name can be Lisa. By the way, is it going to be a Kim or a Hwang?"
"Hwang. It's my child, isn't it?"

I almost cried when Hyunjin called our baby his child. Nayeon was right, he would acknowledge it sooner or later.
"Thanks for everything today, Hyunjin. I really appreciate it." I told him while slicing the tiramisu he ordered after our meal.
"You deserve it," He gave me a smile. "When's your birthday again?"
"You don't remember?" I suddenly felt offended but I tried not to show it. "It's during our trip."
"Really?" Hyunjin swallowed the lump forming in his throat. "Then I guess we're celebrating it in Jeju."
