In a dark apartment...
"Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday to my girl... Happy birthday to you. "
"Blow the candles, my girl . "
The birthday girl blows the candles.
"Yeay!!!" She claps her hands in joy.
"Now make a wish. "
The birthday girl closes her eyes and clasps her hands as if she is praying.
"Let's eat the cake first okay? " She places the cake on the table and drags the chair for the birthday girl to sit.
"A big slice for you. " She slices a large piece of the cake for the birthday girl.
"You have to eat a lot. So you can grow taller. " She pinches the birthday girl cheeks because the girls pouts and complains that she can't finish the cake.
"Let me feed you. Say AAAAA... " She tries to enlighten the birthday girl's mood.
"Is it delicious? I baked it special for you. " They are done with the cake.
"Are you ready for the BIG SURPRISE?." She asks to the birthday girl.
The birthday girl nods happily.
"Tadaaa! " She takes out a small box, somewhat looks like switch.
"Push the green button. You'll see it. " She orders the birthday girl to do so.
"Do you like it? "She hugs the birthday girl when she saw her reaction. A back hug.
"This is for you. "She kisses the birthday girl cheeks.
"May I know what is your wish just now? "She peeks to the birthday girl fave from behind.
"I WISH I NEVER MEET LISA MANOBAN. "The voices echoed in her ears. Replayed like a recorded tape.
The ILLUSIONS gone!
"No! This is not true! THIS IS NOT TRUE!." She messes her hair, loosen her tie and throws it to the floor. The shirt left unbutton, no neatly tuck in ---- so untidy. It is the same shirt from lastnight. She haven't get a change. Last night it was drenched with rain water but now it's dry.
"Jennie? Come out, my love. " Frantically Lisa search to Jennie, in the dark apartment. No lights. All dark.
"Nini, I don't want to play hide and seek, come out please. "Lisa starts to take her steps. Walking in the dark.
"Jennie?...... " Lisa stumbles over something. Her head hits the floor with a sickening thud.
"Nini.. " Lisa doesn't make any efforts to reposition herself. Her face touches the floor.
"Jennie.. " Jennie calls the name again. Her love of life.
"Jennie, this is not true right? " Tears cascade down her cheeks, leaving glistening trails mapping the full extent of her sadness.
"Jennie, don't leave me.. "
Jennie House
The air inside the leaving room is stiff with tension. The evening seems to be longer than usual in that condition. There is something tugging at Jennie heart as if terrible thing that happened. Ella, Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim sit across in her proportion of three to one, eye to eye. Serious Mr. Kim and Ella are still neat in their formal attire, more than enough to let Jisoo knows that they were just came back from work.
