Eunjoo's POV



"Where are they?" Felix whispered



"Try to contact them" 



Felix quickly dialled one of his friends' number and it answered "Minkyu"


[Felix? Where are you?]


"We are already here. Where are your cars?" Felix


[Chan! Felix is already here. He doesn't know where our parking space is- Felix? He is going to his car. Try to look around]

"Yes, thank you" Felix


[Yup, we'll see you here]

"Alright" Felix ended the call and gave me his phone



"Do I really have to hold your phone, again?"



"I told you-" Felix



"That's what girlfriends do, alright" 



Felix smirked and tried to look around.



"Isn't that Chan? He's waving" 



"Oh, I see" Felix said and drove his car to Chan, as soon as we parked he opened the window "I still have some space, right?" 



"Of course, birthday boy" Chan said and waved at me



I waved back. Felix parked the car beside Chan's car. We both got out of the car and we saw Minkyu and Minho walking towards us.



"Hi" 



"You look beautiful" Minho smiled at me



"Thank you" 



"Shall we go to the yacht? They are waiting" Minkyu



The four us went to the yacht, there's not much people here. Only those who are close to Felix and Jisung including their cousins and former classmates last year. 



"Eunjoo!" Jihyun ran and hugged me tight 



"When did you came?"



"30 minutes ago? Hyunjin kept nagging, he said we will be late but the birthday boy is the one who's late. Anyway, you look gorgeous!" Jihyun smiled while staring at me from head to toe "I am really go at dresses!"



"Thanks to you. I have something to wear tonight"



"Nah, there's a lot of people inside. Damn. I don't know who's who, I lost Hyunjin and Caius" Jihyun sighed



"They are just inside, probably greeting some friends or introducing Caius to others" 



"Can you call her? She's not answering my calls" Soomin sighed



"I don't know, she's not answering mine as well" Arian answered



"What's wrong?" Jihyun asked them



"Penelope isn't answering our calls. The yacht  will leave in 5 minutes" Arian



"Maybe she's on her way here?" 



"She needs to answer our call or else she will be left behind" Soomin sighed



"I'll tell Felix to wait for 10 minutes more" 



"Thank you so much" Soomin smiled



I nodded and watched them leave.



"Felix!" 



He looked at me and walked towards me "Why? You left me"



"No, I didn't. You are the one who left"



"Why did you called me?" Felix asked



"Can you tell the operator to wait for 10 minutes more?"

"You waiting for who? All the passengers are on our board" Felix



"Penelope, they can't contact her"



"Wait" he said and signaled one of the staffs of the yacht, he went towards us "Did a girl named Penelope already got inside?"



The staffs quickly looked at his list "Yes, she did, 10 minutes ago"



"Alright, thanks. We can go now" Felix smiled 



The staff smiled and left.



"Heard that?" Felix asked



"Maybe she just lost her signal. Anyway, they will see each other later"



"Yeah, this is room key. Your bag and gifts are inside. You can rest there if you want" Felix said and handed me the room key



"I didn't go here to rest but thanks"



"Yup, enjoy you two" Felix smiled and left us



"So, you two are really dating" Jihyun



"I'm not sure"



"You are a weird one. Anyway, I think Soomin is really sincere about her apologies. I mean she never acted like a calm one before. I am just really happy that her bullying has ended and will never happen again" Jihyun smiled



"Lessons learned, don't do everything to get someone you love" 



"I am glad I didn't learned that one because if I did, I will never have Hyunjin" Jihyun



"You are still proud? You just brought our lives to danger. We almost died, especially me"



"But Felix saved you and I saw that on dramas. The girl will almost die but the boy will save her" Jihyun 



"I can't believe you. Is that what you've learned reading love stories?" 



"Ah, yes? It's not wrong to-" Jihyun



"You look gorgeous, Eunjoo" Caius said and smiled at me



"Oh, hey. I'm glad you made it here"



"Yup, I cant' say no. We already bought the gifts" Caius



"Y-Yeah hahahaha"



"We are already moving? I didn't felt it" Jihyun said while looking at the sea



"Yes, almost 5 minutes ago" Caius answered



I just feel awkward around him after what he told me. I mean, I guess he knew about what happened to me back then. Everyone in my school last year knew about what happened to me. 



"Oh wow. I didn't know" Jihyun



"Anyway, Hyunjin is looking for you" Caius



"Alright, I'll leave you two here. Bye!" Jihyun smiled and left us 



I stood near the railings and looked at the night sky "It moved so smooth"



"Yeah, I just heard from them that it's already moving" Caius said and stood beside me



"I guess we are outsiders. We don't know anyone here except for our classmates, friends and also each other. I'm glad you came, if you didn't, I'll be really bored" 



"I need to come here. How can I not? I can't stop you" Caius



"I'll just look for Felix, I'll see you later" 

"Yeah" Caius smiled



I quickly walked away from him and entered the main party area of the yacht, there are a lot of people here and I hate it but what can I do? I can't listen to Caius' weird sayings. If he will continue talking like that, it'll be over me. Where the hell are you, Felix? Damn it. Why do yo have to leave me there? I should've went with you. 



"S-Sorry" 



She picked up her purse and looked at me "No, it's my fault. I'm sorry..."

"You..."



"Huh? Do I know you?" she asked



"Park Aera..."

Why does it have to be here?
