Jennie~

"Unnie..." Zoe shivered as she shook my arm.

"What's wrong?" I patted her head.

"I had a really scary dream. I let go of a mosquito, and suddenly there were thousands of them. They tried to eat me!" She whimpered.

"It was just a nightmare, Zoe. If any mosquito tries to eat you, I'll punch it." I hugged her and she started to calm down a bit.

"Can I have some warm milk?" She suddenly ordered and I nodded.

I got up from my bed and headed towards the kitchen. I boiled some milk and waited for quite a while.

Hyunjin came earlier... I heard the desperation in his voice. I still can't believe he came all the way here- probably the reason why I couldn't sleep all night.

I poured the milk into a glass, and waited for it to cool down a bit. I walked near the window and saw a familiar figure, sitting near our front door.

"Hyunjin..." His name slipped out of my mouth.

I missed him. I really did.

Why is he doing this?

"Zoe, here's your warm milk." I went back to my room and handed her the glass, while hurriedly searching for another blanket. Once I found one in my drawer, I quickly blasted out the door.

Hyunjin's shivering in the cold. It's currently spring time here, about two thirty in the morning. The weather is really bad, and there are barely any stars out.

I wrapped the blanket around him, trying to make zero noise. He trembled as I touched his cheek, to check his temperature. He's freezing.

He must have waited a long time.

"What do I do with you?" I mumbled in frustration as I stared at him. My heart beating insanely fast, me seeing nothing else but him again.

Don't torture yourself anymore, Jennie.

You've already made your choice.

Hyunjin~

"Hold onto me, Hyunjin. Don't let go, or else I'd fall." Jennie squirmed while climbing the ladder, trying to reach something off the branch on that small sycamore tree.
