There are four most populated places in the world; China, India, United States and next is Friendzone...

Friendzone is a place where you walk everywhere with the person you love but not holding hands. Or it could be you are so close to the person you love but in a best friendly manner. It is the place where everywhere you go is painful especially when the person you gave your hope to love has someone else’s in their hearts.

It is actually a district for idiots, hopelessly devoted to each and everyone. It is the place where your heart told you to wait even though your mind said o move on from the traffic you have caused. Friendzone is a place where you feel love and yet not really feeling it at the same time. It is a place that hurts you and yet it feels so good at the same time. Friendzone is a place where you do not exactly know what your place is... Complicated and confusing? Hell yeah!

Jessica hired Yuri as her personal assistant and so far, after Jessica's effort to show Yuri her nicest being and coolest attitude, she successfully became friends with Yuri. She's always with Yuri. From every shoot she does up to simple drinks at the café and shopping for decent clothes, Yuri is always there. They are always together to the point that they have grown fond of each other. They have gotten so close to the point that Yuri said ‘I love you too’ to Jessica.

Jessica bought Yuri a Mickey Mouse watch since she learned that the latter loves that Disney character a lot.

Yuri opened up the box and smile widely after she saw what was inside.

“Miss Jung, thank you so much for this!”

“Sica...I told you to call me that.” Jessica insisted to drop the honorifics

“Ah, right. Thank you Sica!”

“Take it and wear it, okay?”

“Okay, but Sica...Why did you give me this?” Yuri asked curiously

Jessica mustered all her courage and confessed to Yuri “That’s because I love you Yuri...” Jessica said nervously

Yuri blinked a lot of times as if she’s processing what Jessica is saying while Jessica’s hands was sweating in nervousness of being rejected. Yuri finally gave her the verdict when she finally spoken.

“I love you too Sica!...” Yuri smiled and hugged her

Jessica felt like she was he happiest person alive from that moment not until Yuri spoke again and shattered her simple celebration.

“...Let’s be friends forever, okay?” Yuri said as she continued hugging the latter tightly

Jessica’s heart sunk when she heard the word ‘Friends’. It’s worst than being rejected.

“Friends...” she weakly replied and gave Yuri a painful smile

Jessica was heart broken and she ran off to Tiffany’s house to cry.

“Jessie...Will you please stop crying like a baby? For goodness sake, it’s 3 o’clock in the morning!” Tiffany said as she pats Jessica’s back and let the girl cried on her lap.

“I-It...hurts...s-so...damn...much...” Jessica sobbed

“I didn’t know it feels like this to be friend zone...I feel like love is so cruel towards me.”

‘Now you know, I’ve been experiencing that for years!’ Tiffany thought

I got the same feelings...” Tiffany mindlessly blurted out

“Oh? For whom?” Jessica asked

“I-It’s a s-secret!” Tiffany’s voice went higher as expected due to her nervousness and Jessica cried even more.

“You hate me...” Jessica cried

“Ssssshh... That's enough. You’re really stupid...How could I even hate you? There are a lot of people who loves you Jess.” Tiffany said as she stared sadly at her friend

‘Like me?’ Tiffany sighed and shut .

“But I only want Yuri...”

“Do you really like her as in that much?” Tiffany asked

Jessica nodded her head like a child

“Well, if you cry like this... Do you think Yuri will like you right now? You got to make her love you!” Tiffany said

“You're right...I should plan my next move. But where must I start?” Jessica asked as she looked upon Tiffany with determination in her eyes

“Start it by changing the way you look... In fact, you look horrible right now.”

“YAH! You’ll help me right?”

“Of course Jessica...Of course.” Tiffany said as she forced a smile on her face

“You're the best friend I ever have!” Jessica hugged her

Unknowingly to Jessica, Tiffany and her are on the same both and wondering the same place of Friendzone.

It's been a week and yet Jessica's plan is not progressing. From her brand new shirt, to her mini skit, and her little black dress, Yuri doesn’t seem to notice her. She was acting very professional lately on work and a real friend to her ever since the day she confessed and got friendzone. A good employee as a personal assistant. Everytime Yuri’s shift is over, Taeyeon is always there to pick her up. Jessica is beyond frustrated. She’s like the most beautiful woman on Earth for millions of people and yet, Yuri doesn’t seem to notice her in a way that she likes.

But what made Jessica happy is that Yuri always wear the watch she gave to her daily. It made her feel that Yuri treasured the gift she had given to her a lot.

“Unnie! Have you waited long?” she heard Yuri asked to Taeyeon

“Not really. Miss Hwang gave a lot of errands today. I thought I’m only her driver but she made
