{JENNIE KIM.}

You and Jennie had been together for six months. It wasn't a very long time, even though you'd known each other since you were children. Your relationship was different from other couples', mainly because Jennie had autism. It had never been a problem for you, but for her, some situations could be difficult to understand or cope with.

Jennie tried to adapt to your activities, customs, and habits, but she didn't always succeed. Sometimes she got frustrated because she felt she was doing it wrong; other times, she simply felt uncomfortable doing things outside her routine.

What might seem sweet to you could become a real problem for her.

Jennie wasn't overly affectionate or constantly clingy, but she really enjoyed your company. So, when you told her you were traveling to Jeju Island with your family for the holidays, she wasn't thrilled about the idea of ​​spending so many days chatting with you.

Although she knew that the change of environment could be difficult for her, she decided to accompany you.

Several days passed, and you noticed she still didn't seem completely comfortable. One afternoon, seeing her exhausted, you asked if she'd prefer to go home.

But Jennie understood your words differently.

Her expression changed immediately. She frowned and looked down.

—Well… I’ll go.

She murmured as she looked for her little shoes.

For her, there wasn't much to discuss. You had said she could come back, so she assumed you wanted her to leave.

Sometimes she struggled to interpret situations that seemed simple to you, but you never considered that a problem. You just needed to learn to understand her.
