Hyunjin~
Jennie stared at us blankly. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, because there were literally no signs of emotion on her face, whatsoever.
Just tears that ran down quickly like the waterfall.
I waited for the slap to come. For her to hit either me or Nayeon; the harsh words that she could easily say to us... but nothing came.
She suddenly unfroze from her current position, and looked down in embarrassment. Jennie reached her arms behind her neck, trying to find something. Then it came off- her necklace.
"I think this actually belongs to you." She handed the necklace to Nayeon before walking away.

I immediately went back into our hotel room and quickly took my luggage. Going back downstairs- I asked the desk person if they had a spare room. Luckily they did, so I then took it.
I can't let Sky and Felix know that I found out; I can't ruin this trip for them. I don't want to be a disturbance in their relationship... not anymore.
I finally got into my new room, and immediately cried my heart out. Maybe this is karma. I did such horrible things in the past, and this is definitely what I deserve.
That necklace.
After I saw them together, it felt way heavier- like it wasn't meant for me. That I shouldn't force it.
If Hyunjin wants to be with her, then be it. Maybe I was the nuisance in their relationship, not the other way around. At least now they can love freely.
The only love I need is my baby and my parents. The ones who have been with me ever since day one.
I laid my head down onto the pillow and tried crying myself to sleep.
But it's impossible.

I arrived at my hotel room, expecting to see Jennie once I open the door. Nothing. She took everything and left, only leaving one sticky note behind.
Don't tell Sky and Felix. I don't want this to ruin their trip.
I wonder where she is right now? Did she move to another room? Did she leave? So many thoughts pilled up in my my head, but no answers to be found.
I fucked up real badly, didn't I?
And it's also her birthday tomorrow...

Jennie~
I couldn't sleep at all. I'm not sure whether it was the discomfort in my tummy, or the pain in my chest- anyhow, it was too much for me to handle.
I wanted to take sleeping pills or pain killers, but I know that it wouldn't be good for me or my baby.
I went outside and took a long walk in the beach. It's currently four in the morning, still dark out, barely anyone outside except fishermen. Somehow, I felt calmer out here than inside the hotel.
I sat on the deck and watched the sky change colours. I lost track of the time because I'm way too occupied with the scenery.
My heart still feels heavy. Because while watching the sun rise, I remember Hyunjin's broken promises. How he was supposed to watch Jeju's sunrise with me... how he was supposed to love me, and only me.
It's as if the colourful sky suddenly turned into night, except there were no more stars left. It was only pitch black.
I closed my eyes and realized that my face was covered in tears. Why can't heartbreaks be fixed with bandages?
I feel like I'm forgetting something, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Like today's supposed to be special or something.
Oh.
It's my birthday.

I went downstairs, since Sky texted me to come meet them at the restaurant to have some breakfast. Nayeon was already there, but not Jennie.
"Guys, we bought Jennie this cake. Let's sing happy birthday once she arrives!" Sky excitedly squealed while lighting the candles.
"I don't think-"
"Hey guys!" Jennie waved her hand and came our way.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~" Everyone sang and Jennie started to tear up. Except she doesn't have a smile on her face- it was more like sad tears.
"Thank you so much. I didn't think you guys would remember my birthday!" She let out a fake smile.
"How could we forget?" Felix added.
"Jennie, did you sleep at all last night? Your eyes are so dark and swollen." Sky looked at her in concern. She probably cried- I made her cry. Again.
"Yeah, I was so excited about my birthday! I couldn't sleep at all, so I pulled an all nighter." Her voice cracked. You liar.
I feel so guilty.
