Hyunjin~
"Please, tell me where she is... she probably told you, right? I need to see her." I started to pull my hair in frustration.
"We can't." Sky straight up answered.
"I mean it. I want to see her- I really want to be with her!" I fell down on the couch and started bawling my eyes out. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Do you know what Jennie felt when you abandoned her for Nayeon? Maybe this is karma for you. You should actually be thankful. Jennie simply left you without making you feel like shit, not like what you did to her."
"She's selfless... Jennie always wanted the best for us, but I kept on ruining everything for her. She never complained. She willingly did what I wanted, because she never wanted to hurt me. When she saw me with Nayeon, she didn't show any emotions. Jennie always tried so hard to keep her tears back... she's probably so sick and tired of doing that."
"Maybe you should do the same too. If you really love her, then let her be happy. It's your turn to give her all that. It's all she ever wanted." Sky replied.
"I want to see her one more time. If she really doesn't want to be with me anymore, then I'll do what she wants."

Jennie~
I laid down in my old bed and thought of Hyunjin. How's he doing? Has he read my letter yet?
Is he with Nayeon now? Bet they're having a great time, now that I'm officially out of the picture... I should really stop thinking of them.
Ring*
"Sky?" I answered the call after one ring.
"Jennie... um, there's kinda going to be a little surprise for you. We're really sorry for telling him- we felt really bad." I could hear the nervousness in her voice.
"Holdup, I'm so confused... what's happening?" I got up and started to walk around in circles. My palms were starting to get sweaty, and my heart's palpitating.
"He's on the plane right now. Hyunjin wouldn't leave our place until we told him your address... we're really sorry."

Hyunjin~
I gave the driver the address, he nodded and told me that it'd take an hour. I feel so uneasy and nervous, like I'm about to past out.
Pull yourself together, Hyunjin.
I held Jennie's ring in my hand, twirling it around- trying to calm myself down.
I know for sure that I love her so much, and I also know that I've fucked up so badly. I want to right my wrongs- whatever she wants, I'll do it. I've been too lucky, I took everything for granted.
Next thing I knew, I lost everything in a flash.
"Sir, we're here." The taxi driver shook me awake. After paying, I went down and slowly walked over to the front door.
Well, here goes nothing.
I rang the doorbell and someone immediately opened it. A tall boy with a baby face- I don't think he's Asian. Sky and Felix probably gave me the wrong address on purpose, damn it.
"Who are you?" The boy raised his eyebrows at me while asking that question in Korean.
"Does Jennie live here?" I felt so awkward talking to a boy that has such powerful aura, yet looks like a twelve year old at the same time.
"Yeah, I'm her brother. You haven't answered my question yet. Who are you?" He's now crossing his arms- woah there.
"I'm Hwang Hyunjin-"
"Woah woah woah... you're that guy! What are you doing here? Haven't you hurt my sister enough? She doesn't want you here- leave!" He yelled.
"Jennie!" I ignored him and started yelling at the top of my lungs. "Please talk to me..."
"Who's making that noise?" Both her parents came bolting down the stairs. "You! What the hell are you doing here?"
"I don't care what you came here for, but you're not welcome here. After what you've done to our daughter, you have the audacity to show your face in my property? The worst decision I've ever made as a parent was letting my daughter marry someone like you. Sign the divorce papers and leave immediately." Her mom ranted.
I felt even more shitty after that. This whole family literally despises me- well, I would too, if I were them.
"Get out before I call the cops." Jennie's father warned me. I went outside and fell down in front of their doorsteps. She'll come out, right?
I guess I'll just have to wait. It's starting to get a bit chilly, since the sun is starting to set- I don't have a place to stay, because my dumbass forgot to rent a hotel.
I'll just sleep out here for one night.
As I shivered because of the wind, I took out a small envelope from my backpack. I bought this for her... although, I'm not so sure if she'll take it.
I need to see her.
I waited and waited... suddenly the door creaked open, so I quickly jolted up from the cement ground.
"My parents don't want you here..." Jennie's brother gave me a water bottle and a sandwich. "Go now, before they find out that you're still here."
"Thanks... please, let me talk to your sister."
"She doesn't want you here. Come back tomorrow, when our parents aren't home. Talk to her then." He closed the door at my face.
