Chapter 34
Effortlessly YouAfter lunchtime, Jessica, Sooyeon and I went back to the hotel. Jessica was in the shower when I noticed Sooyeon pacing outside.
"Princess, what's wrong? Are you going to pee? You can use the one in my room if your sister's still using the bathroom."
"I am not going to pee."
"Then what's wrong?"
"I'm just waiting for her to come out so that I can say sorry for what I did last night."
The way Sooyeon hugged the white teddy bear Sunny had just given her showed how guilty she feels for what happened.
"She's not angry with you, Sooyeon," I said to ease her burden.
"How can you say so? She chose not to go back to your apartment last night. If not for Sunny, I would be sleeping alone in your room. And she also haven't talked to me since both of you came back this morning."
I placed my hands over Sooyeon's shoulders and made her sit on a nearby couch. I sat on my heels while facing her. "She doesn't hate you. Jessica understands you, Sooyeon. There are just plenty of things running on her mind right now. All that we could do to help Jessica is to be there for her."
"Still...I'm going to say sorry."
"Okay. You may do that then."
"Were you guys talking about me?" Jessica spoke from behind. Sooyeon immediately cowered upon hearing her voice. "Sooyeon? Is something wrong?"
"She wants to talk to you, Sica. Come on, Princess. You can say it now."
Before she spoke, Sooyeon first took something from her pocket and nervously gave it to her sister. It was a small envelope with the word 'sorry' written on the backside.
"I'm sorry for letting you see that poster. I'm sorry for mentioning Jiyeon. And I'm sorry for bringing back her memories."
Tears streaked down Sooyeon's face when she said her apologies. Jessica wiped it with the back of her
