Chapter 38
Effortlessly YouShe slammed the door and she locked herself in that room. Therefore I asked myself "What could have gone wrong?"
I dialled Mr. Mitoba's number to ask him about what happened that could have spoiled Jessica's mood. But he said that things went well during the meeting. Could it be...Jiyeon?
Hours passed and still she didn't come out of their bedroom. Sooyeon has fallen asleep while waiting for her at the doorstep. So I carried her to the other room of our master suite and I took the turn of waiting for Jessica to come out. I sat on the floor and rested my back at the door frame while humming our song - the song I sang to her on the night I surprised her - until my eyelids felt heavy and I fell asleep.
