"What happened?" Sun asks, running up to Kate and I before the sun has risen. I've been awake for over twenty-four hours and I'm like a zombie.
"You mean before or after the redhead knocked me out?" Kate responds to Sun bitterly.
"She hit you?"
"When I ran into them on my way back from Locke's camp."
"Why would she do that?"
"I guess she didn't wanna have to explain why she was on her way to a poison gas factory."
"Juliet told Jack and me that it was a power station." I say.
"Why would Juliet lie about that?" Sun asks me.
"Force of habit?"
"Why were they going there?"
"To turn it off, to deactivate the gas. I guess they wanted to earn some brownie points."
Sun looks between the two of us nervously. "Do you think they're really going to rescue us?"
I pause for a moment, exchanging a look with Kate. I don't want to alarm Sun, but at the same time, I don't want to worry her. I make my answer very vague. "In all the time they've been here they've talked about a lot of things, and none involved rescuing us."
I take a short nap, enough to help my body stop wobbling when I stand up. But when I get up, Sun and Jin have something important to ask me.
"I want to go to Locke's camp," Sun says, her hands on her stomach.
"Why would you do that?" I ask her.
"Because I don't trust these people. I don't want my baby around them. They are not here to help us. Can't you see that?"
"Alright, I'll draw you a map." I grab a piece of paper and a pen from inside my tent and start drawing a map to the Barracks to the best of my ability. "Once you hit the stream, you want to head northwest, pretty much in a straight line for about a day and a half."
"Thank you," Sun says, taking the map from me.
"Jack is gonna ask where you guys went, and I'm not going to lie to him. It would be hypocritical of me. But I'll give you guys a nice, long head start."
"I'd tell him myself, but he wouldn't understand," Sun says, staring at the map.
"No, he wouldn't." I give Sun a hug. "You'd better get going. Be safe okay?"
Sun and Jin turn around to leave, but they're stopped by Juliet. "She's not going anywhere. Sun, this is a bad idea."
"What concern is it of yours?" Sun counters.
Juliet turns to Jin. "Do you understand your wife's medical condition right now?" Jin stares at her with a confused face. "Translate for me," Juliet demands.
"No."
Juliet tries Jin again. "Your wife is very sick. If she doesn't get off this island in three weeks, she will die."
Sun says something to Jin and starts leading him away from Juliet. "If you let her go, your wife is in danger. Jin! Danger," Juliet yells.
Jin turns around. "Wherever Sun go, I go."
"Sun! Please," Juliet calls.
"Juliet, this is her choice. You need to let her go."
"Be quiet, Tia. This doesn't concern you. Jin. Your wife had an affair."
Sun turns around and my jaw drops at this new revelation.
"What?" Jin asks, confused.
"Sun was with another man. She thought the baby was his."
Sun walks up to Juliet and slaps her across the face. But when she turns back to Jin, he looks betrayed as he walks away.
Sun calls his name in Korean, but he doesn't look back. She runs after him.
"What the hell was that?" I ask Juliet.
"I told you, this is none of your business, Tia."
"Sun is my friend, which is a lot more than I can say for you. You read one file on her and expect to know everything about her and use it against her? You don't know the half of it."
"Did she ever tell you the truth?"
"Not outright, but I guessed. She was worried about the pregnancy, so I guessed that there must have been someone else. But I would never use that information against her, like you just did."
"Well, then, you must not care about her very much, because if Sun doesn't leave this Island in a month, her fetus will turn on her, and she will die."
Juliet walks away, following Sun's footprints in the sand.
Later that night I find Sun and Jin sitting at their tent, talking happily. Sun decided not to go to Locke's camp. Jin decided to forgive her.
