"Jessi", Tiffany called her and asked her to translate an English word, just then Jaejoong arrived and showed her a stuff bear.

"Hello there", Jaejoong said hiding behind the bear. Jessica laughs at him and replied.

"Hi bear!", she said. Jaejoong gave the bear to Jessica and tap her head. Jessica pouts.

"Everyone's tapping my head. I won't grow anymore", she complained.

"It's fine. You look adorable this way", Jaejoong replied. Jessica hearing that, blushed and Tiffany giggled. Jaejoong bid farewell and Jessica hug the bear he gave her.

"I think he likes you", Tiffany said in English.

"As a younger sister, yes", she replied. She remembered back in Jaejoong's training days, she would bring him snacks. She knows he is doing part time jobs just to cover for his expenses and it's the least she can do to help him. Jaejoong would thank her and says she reminds him of his sisters.

It was a boring day for Jessica. The trainees are not on their usual energetic self. Could it be because of the warm weather outside? 

Jessica saw Yoona, the always bubbly girl but is not moving around as normal.

"Hey, kiddo. What's the problem?", Jessica asked as she sat next to her. Yoona is a special trainee to her. She looks like her younger sister which she haven't looked out for. So ever since Yoona came to the company, she had been treating her like a sister. Also because of Yoona's personality, who wouldn't love her?

"I am tired of doing auditions", Yoona sighed. 

"It just feels depressing that I never got to land even one commercial after doing 200 audition calls", Yoona added.

"You can't just stop at 200? Go for 300 or even up to 500", Jessica said.

"If you love doing what you do, nothing should hinder you from chasing it. Who knows you are this close to your commercial break", Jessica said and with her thumb and pointing finger, showed a 1 inch gap. Yoona smiled.

"Take a breathe and don't pressure yourself too much. What you wanted will come in time. Soon", Jessica said. Yoona showed her aegyo. Among all younger girl trainees, it seemed that Yoona is the only one who is relax around Jessica and shows her aegyo to sunbae Jessica. Jessica seeing her aegyo, laughs real hard. Yoona laughs as well.

"Neh, I will work harder and will not stop. Ajah!", Yoona said.

"Ajah!", Jessica replied.

"Sica!", Heechul came in, followed by Donghae and Eunhyuk.

"Don't mess with our training", Jessica warns them. Heechul smirks and tap her head.

"Ah! Chinja!", Jessica remarks.

"I'll get stuck on my height if you all keep on doing that", Jessica complained but smiled. Heechul just laughed and continued greeting the other girl trainees. Eunhyuk followed as well. Donghae signaled her to go out. Jessica looked at him with a questioning look but followed him out to the rooftop.

"Close your eyes", Donghae said.

"We (Why)?", Jessica asked. It's one of this times again that Donghae plans a surprise for her.

"Kkeunyang (Just that)", he said. Jessica pouts her lips but then willingly closed her eyes. Donghae came behind her, and placed a necklace around her neck. Jessica opened her eyes and exclaimed. She touched the necklace and look at it. 

"Donghaeyah", she said and obviously she's touched by her friend's thoughtfulness.

"It's so beautiful", she can't help but admire the pendant of a sun combined with the moon. 

"Do you like it?", Donghae asked, but Jessica shakes her head.

"Ani. I totally love it!", she replied and smiled. Donghae smiled at her. It is the first thing he brought from his talent fee.

I'm glad you like it, he said to himself.

Later that night, she was surprised that Jaejoong arrived at the office and asked her for him to take her home. It's actually the first time she's riding the car alone with him, so she asked where Junsu oppa is.

"He went out", Jaejoong replied. When they arrived at her home, Jaejoong suddenly stopped her and hold her hand.
