~Time skip: 1 week~

Somehow, the universe worked in my favor as Manager Choi told me that I didn't have to come in today. I was told the day before as I was leaving. I zipped up my bag and made sure I had everything before I left.

I waited outside in my car for Jacob to come downstairs. I drummed my fingers against the wheel as I didn't think he'd take this long to get ready. After an hour passed, I headed upstairs to see what the hold up was. I opened the door to his apartment and looked around. I checked the bathroom first and saw nothing. I checked the bedroom next and didn't see him nor anything there.

I dialed his number and was surprised that it went straight to voicemail. "Is his phone dead...?" I shook my head as Jacob was never one to have a dead phone. I decided to check at the company and see if he ditched me once again.

"Hey, what's the rush?" "Is Jacob here today?" "Nope. I remember him coming back after everyone else and telling me about his plans a week from then." "Did he go home alone?" She shook her head then explained what happened. "So, they left together and that was when I last saw him." I was about to ask for the address when my ringtone rang aloud. "Chang, where are you?" "At the company, why?" "...far...Okay, come meet back at your place. Hurry." He hung up and I wasted no time in getting back to my car. "I'll call if he comes in!" I gave her a thumbs up then drove back home.

I pulled over and saw Jacob looking around. I waved him down and he quickly got in. "I'm so glad to see you." He held my hands then kissed my knuckles. "Alright, let's get going." I looked and immediately knew the route to get there. I pulled off then decided to ask. "Where did you go last night?" "Misung's. She wanted to talk business. I shamelessly fell asleep as we talked. I woke up and saw that I was alone in a bedroom, so I decided to explore. Point is, I caught her slipping some sleeping drug into my drink so I ran."

Music played as we sat in silence. I noticed the music had been turned really low and a sweet melody started playing. I knew this melody. I quietly sang along with Jacob as we neared our destination. I parked into a free spot then turned off the engine. The sound of laughter, music and seagulls filled my ears. It brought back memories. We got out and I grabbed the blanket and umbrella from the back. "Shall we?" He held out his hand to me and I took it.

We sat on the blanket as we listened to his songs and watched children run around. "Jacob." "Hm?" "Remember when I first suggested this place? You were so excited to go that you couldn't sleep." "I still feel bad for calling you in the dead of night." "It was cute though. How you couldn't sleep so you decided to sing me to sleep. Ironically, you were the one to fall asleep." We both chuckled at the memory then felt Jacob starting to shift. We changed to another position which consisted of us lying down next to each other.

We reminisced a bit more before I decided to head into the water. He stayed behind claiming that someone had to watch our things. I dropped the shell in my hand and managed to find it in the water. I stood up then immediately blacked out. It hurt.
