보고서
It's Thanksgiving break. My boyfriend, Julian Hayes, organizes a trip abroad for the five of us. We arrive at our guesthouse late at night. Julian, Lucas Whitmore, and Tyler Graham immediately walk past me. Julian carries Sophie Bennett's cat, Lucas holds her bag, and Tyler links arms with her. I stand there, stunned for a split second, then quietly step aside. Nobody touches the eight suitcases lined up on the curb or even asks about them. "Julian, what about the luggage?" I ask. He doesn't even bother turning around. "Bring them in first. Sophie's tired. We're heading up to check out the rooms." "All eight? By myself?" Lucas smirks. "You're the only one not doing anything. Get to it." Tyler pats my shoulder. "Thanks, Kaitlin." I have no choice but to drag the heavy bags down one by one, scraping the skin raw on my hands. One of the latches snaps open, scattering clothes all over the pavement. I drop to my knees, stuffing everything back inside piece by piece. I try not to take it to heart. But by the time I finish moving all the luggage, the rest of them are nowhere to be found. I struggle through a conversation with the host in broken Elarian, only to find out they moved to a new place because Sophie's cat isn't allowed here. I call Julian. He tells me to grab the bags and use GPS to catch up with them. I check the map. The new place is 12 miles away. The streets are completely empty in the dead of night, and not a single ride app is working. I message the group in a panic, explaining my situation, only to get a dismissive reply. "Alright, figure it out yourself. We need to stay with Sophie." It's Sophie again. Them needing to "stay with Sophie" is the ultimate excuse. It makes every neglect seem perfectly justified. I nod to myself. "Fine. Stay with her then. I'm out."

Kaitlin's POVAs winter set in, dusk fell earlier and earlier. By the time my shift at the bookstore ended, the streetlights were already lit.One day, as I stepped out of the bookstore, I found a warm cup of bubble tea on the doorstep. On the side of the cup was a sticky note that read, "It's cold out. Keep your hands warm."The handwriting belonged to Julian.I left the bubble tea where it was and walked away.The next day, when I stepped out, another cup was waiting at the door. It was still warm, with the exact same note attached.I ignored it just the same.Every day, there was a cup of bubble tea and a new sticky note. Sometimes it said the temperature was dropping and to bundle up. Other times, it brought up memories of our past.On the sixth day, I picked up the bubble tea, took a few steps, and tossed it straight into a roadside trash can.Across the street, Julian was standing behind the coffee shop glass window, watching the whole thing. He hung his head without a w

Kaitlin's POVThe bookstore was quiet in the afternoon. I was sitting on the couch flipping through an old novel when the wind chime above the door chimed.I didn't look up."Kaitlin," someone called out.My fingers paused mid-page.I looked up and saw Julian standing at the entrance to the fiction section, with Lucas and Tyler right behind him. All three looked travel-worn and haggard, as if they hadn't slept well in days.Julian was clutching an envelope in his hand. The moment his eyes met mine, his footsteps froze.I closed my book and stood up. "How did you find me here?""Your mom's studio." Julian's voice was raspy. "We waited downstairs for two days."I said nothing.Lucas spoke up first. "Kaitlin, we were wrong."Tyler nodded along. "About what happened that day, we—""Which day?" I looked at them.The three of them fell silent for a moment.Julian handed over the envelope in his hand.I took it and opened it up. Inside were my passport and a bank card."Here's

Kaitlin's POVThat day, when I walked out of the guesthouse, I had absolutely nothing on me—no passport, no luggage, no money. Even my phone had been robbed.I crouched by the roadside for the longest time, not knowing where to go.The next afternoon, a woman pulled up in front of the embassy. She was an old classmate of Mom's who had settled here over a decade ago.Mom had called her in the middle of the night, and she came running without a second thought.She took me to get a temporary travel document, handled the emergency identification paperwork, and booked my flight to where my mom was.She didn't ask a single question the entire time, only saying as I filled out the forms, "Your mom has talked about you non-stop all these years."Three days later, I boarded the plane.For over ten hours, I didn't close my eyes once. As I leaned against the window and watched the clouds roll by, my mind went completely blank.Stepping out of the airport, I saw Mom standing at the exit.

They asked nearby shopkeepers, but everyone said they'd seen nothing.Three days passed with absolutely zero leads.On the fourth day, Julian froze in front of a second-hand phone shop.A row of used phones was displayed in the window, and one of them immediately caught his eye.It was Kaitlin's—the one she had used for two years. There was a crack on the corner of the screen, left over from a drop last year.They bought the phone back and plugged it into a charger.When the screen lit up, the wallpaper showed a group photo of Kaitlin and the three of them. They were standing by the sea, smiling without a care in the world.Julian flipped through the photo album. In the "Recently Deleted" folder, he found several screensho
