A week has passed and everything went back to normal except Jiyeon though. She went back to Jeju to finish her education but she lives like a robot. Wake up - go to school - lock herself in the bedroom until morning. During lunch at school, she just stays silent.
"Where are you going?" Jaehyun asked when he saw her walking out from the palace.
"Chungcheongnam-do."
"By yourself?" His eyes widened as Jiyeon shrugged. "I come with you! I'll call the driver to drive us."
"Take me to Mallipo Beach, I want to see the sunrise." She said before she left.
During the ride, Jiyeon wore headphones as she's sleeping. Jaehyun is also fell asleep. Luckily they arrived at 5 am and the sunrise will be at 6:15 am. At this hour there are not many people on the beach. Jiyeon wore her sweater, she took off her shoes so her feet can feel the soft sand.
She stood there with a wave showering her feet and the wind blew her, Jaehyun stood next to her. "My parents used to take me here when I was little." She took a deep sigh.
"When my father is gone, my mother and I came here. We both wrote short words to him, we put it inside the bottle and threw it. It just the way to show that we're ready to move on without him and I'm about to do the same."
"Do you want me to leave you alone?" He asked softly and Jiyeon nodded.
Jiyeon walked around the beach as she held the piece of paper, she already let out all the feelings that she keeps inside and she felt there are no tears left anymore. She just stood there until the sunrise, she smiled as she remembered when the three of them used to watch the sunrise together. Jiyeon opened the piece of paper to read it one last time.
I make both of you proud of me! I'm going to make it! I love you, Dad, I love you mom Rest well
She rolled the paper and put it inside the bottle then she threw it as far as she could to the ocean. She sat on the sand and she felt she's ready with this. She knew they are always in her heart and always be with her. It's time for her to move forward in her life, she's a queen after all.
Jaehyun who watched her every single move that she made, never thought that Jiyeon is strong like this. He could see the Jiyeon that he grew up with is change, she becomes more smart, strong, brave, and definitely beautiful. She's not afraid to make her own decision, now she's 18 and about to become a Queen.
When she will be a Queen which means Jaehyun will be a King and they will get married soon. Then there's Hwasa, at first Jaehyun wants to be with her but now he decides to be with Jiyeon. It supposes to be wrong but he feels it's right, now thinking about the future with Jiyeon, Jaehyun couldn't wait for it anymore and he felt happy.
Suddenly his phone is ringing, he saw Hwasa is calling. He looked up to see Jiyeon still sitting there and watched the view, he picked up then.
"Hello?" He answered. But he heard Hwasa is sobbing.
"J-Jae-Jaehyun ... I-I need you.."
"Hwasa what's going on? Calm yourself and talk to me." He tried to calm her down.
"Where are you? Can you come to my place?"
"I can't Hwasa, I'm sorry."
"Please baby I really need you here please..."
Usually, Jaehyun will do it, he couldn't stand to see her sad but now he just feels okay about it. "I'll come to your place when I get back, I'm sorry.." He hung up the phone as he saw Jiyeon walking toward him.
Right now Jiyeon is important.
"Do you want to go back?" He asked as he stood up, cleaning the sand from his pant.
"Who's on the phone?" She asked.
"Nothing important. So what are we going to do next?"
"Maybe just walking around, this place is calm and I like it." She said.
"Okay.. let's go." Jaehyun offered his hand. Jiyeon raised her eyebrow to him but she took his hand anyway. Jaehyun smiled, he turned off his phone so no one will bother him.
~•~
Jaehyun carried Jiyeon bridal style to her room, she fell asleep in the car when they were on their way back home. Jaehyun can tell this is the first time she sleeps peacefully after what happen and he couldn't wake her up.
He slowly put her on the bed, cover her with a blanket. He sat on the bed beside her, wiped stray of her hair from her face, he couldn't help it to stroke her cheek. Then his eyes landed on her lip, he remembered that he kissed that lip first before anyone else. Then he remembers when they had a make-out session in the car.
"I miss you.." He said.
For sure he doesn't want to let her go. Love? Yeah, Jaehyun loved her as a best friend then he grew to hate her because she's the reason he can't be with Hwasa. And to think it again, it's not even Jiyeon's fault, she's the same as him that stuck in this mess. Then he reconciled with her again, he realized he misses that. He misses the feeling that only Jiyeon can give. And with Jiyeon, he didn't think of Hwasa.
Hwasa? Jaehyun remembered that he needs to see her.
He leaned down and kissed her forehead before he went to his room to change his clothes.
He went to Hwasa's place and he heard sobbing from her room. Jaehyun without thinking just enter her room. Hwasa was surprised and she quickly ran to his arms as she cried. Jaehyun caressed her back to calm her down.
"What happens? Why are you crying?"
"Jaehyun, I'm pregnant."
The thing is Hwasa is crying because she knew the baby inside her isn't belong to him.
