Hyunjin~
I arrived at the location Felix sent me, and the first thing I noticed was Minho. Why is he here?
"Hyung?" I went up to give him a big bro hug, but he refused.
"Let's talk," He sent me an unpleasant stare. "Now."
"Oh, okay..." I looked at Jennie who's sitting beside him, she looks genuinely happy- but of course, I knew that this was all just an act. For Sky and Felix.
"What have you been drinking?" Minho pushed me up against the hard wall once we got out of everyone's sight.
"Huh?" I looked him in the eye.
"Stop pretending," He let go of me. "I meant what I said. What have you been up to? Why are you hurting your wife like this?"
"How do you know?" I suddenly felt so embarrassed.
"I saw Jennie crying outside that café earlier- that's how I found out that you guys were here," He took a deep sigh before continuing. "Does Chan hyung know about this?"
"He'd kill me if he knew. Please don't tell him, I beg you."
"If you're so scared, then why are you still doing it? Why do you continue to do this, even though you know it's wrong?" He gritted his teeth in anger. "What's even more fucked up, is that you're married and your wife is expecting. You disgust me- I hope you know that."
"Hyung..."
"Think, would you? You're making a very big mistake right now. It's because you don't know what she feels. Once Jennie finds that someone who'll make her happy, don't expect her to come back to you. You're trash."

"I wonder what's taking them so long?" Felix uttered while setting up the campfire. After a few more minutes, Minho and Hyunjin finally came back. Hyunjin seems a bit shaken up.
"Who is she?" Minho whispered to me while pointing at Nayeon.
"Im Nayeon. The girl Hyunjin likes." I quietly replied.
"Eh, I don't like her then." He patted my back and I somehow felt comfort.
Thanks, Minho.
I'm glad that I found you.
"Minho, can we hang out once more before we go back to Seoul?" I shamelessly asked him.
"Of course. Tomorrow at sunrise? I can't really go out the whole day, because I have an outing with my colleagues."
"That's totally fine. Tomorrow morning, then."

After thinking about what Minho said yesterday, I felt a bit ashamed of myself. I can't even keep a single promise to my wife, like when I told her that I was going to watch the sunrise with her.
I looked at the time and realized that it's already four thirty in the morning. The sun's gonna rise soon, and I still haven't gotten any sleep.
I decided to go take a walk near the docks and maybe see the sunrise, if I'm lucky enough.
Instead, I saw something else.
Minho and Jennie.

Jennie~
Minho was very comforting. He told me all about his past relationships, and how he overcame them. In my opinion, Minho's a very intelligent guy. He also makes me feel so secured- something I haven't felt for such a long time.
We sat really closely to each other, since it's still quite cold out. Body heat really does help.
The sun started to rise, and somehow I felt happy. Just having someone beside me during this time is very fulfilling. Something I wanted to do with my husband, but instead I had to do with someone else.
It hurts- but thanks to Minho, I feel much better now.
Thanks to him, I'm not crying anymore.

I wanted to go up there and push Minho out of the way, to let me and my wife cherish this moment together... but I couldn't. Not like she'd enjoy that either.
I noticed that she kept looking at him very fondly. I don't know what Minho said that made Jennie this way, but I'm actually quite glad. He's taking really good care of her.
"Hyunjin, why are you up so early?" Nayeon stood beside me, and rested her head on my shoulders. I wrapped my arms around her lower back.
"I couldn't sleep last night. I wanted to see the sunrise today." I told her.
"Really? Me too," She smiled at me. Her eyes suddenly landed onto Minho and Jennie's direction. "They look so good together. They would make such an amazing couple."
