XI.

Mix and Match

"What the heck?! Are you two dating??!!!"

 

"Yah Jung Soojung is that the way you greet your sister??!!!" Jessica shouted back  in exasperation "and what are you doing here?! Aren't you supposed to be practicing or something. You know that your dating life has just come to light and the media is closely following you around. Aish this girl" 


"That's not the issue here unnie!!! Are you dating G-Dragon sunbae now and whose kid is that? Is she yours??!! Did he get you pregnant unnie??!!!" Krystal shouted back  

 

"Soojung????" Taeyeon said behind them making Jiyong, Jessica and Krystal turn to look at her


"Unnie you're here too??! What's the meaning of this??!!" Krystal turned to ask her


"Ah dae...." she awkwardly said not knowing how to answer her questions "um....Sica?" Taeyeon in looked to her for help


Jessica sighed heavily "Calm down Soojung-ah you know it's Yo....um....Don't worry Taeyeon if my sister is one thing then she's trustworthy. It's okay if she knows right?" she said cutting off what she was about to say at first 


"Know what unnie??" Krystal asked her unnie but it was Taeyeon who answered her


"Soojung-ah, G-Dragon sunbae is not your unnie's boyfriend.....he's my....he's my husband and the baby with him is ours..." she explained


"Heol. Daebak!! Wow unnie chincha??!!! You really got married? When?!! And to none other G-DRAGON!! Unnie I don't know if you're crazy or stupid don't you know his reputation? Does our company know?? And unnie the baby looks about 3 years old already when did you get pregnant without everyone knowing???" Krystal exclaimed in shock and amazement 


"Slow down Krystal-ssi we'll explain everything" Jiyong said while Jiyeon was hiding behind his leg feeling shy with the stranger in front of her


So they all sat down as Jiyong and Taeyeon explained to Krystal how everything happened letting their food go cold. They did plan on revealing the truth to the poeple they are close with but in just a day since they got married someone else already found out.


"Oh so that's what happened....sorry for misunderstanding unnie and I'm also sorry for your loss but weren't you rushing too much  by getting married immediately? Adopting and raising a child is a big responsibility." Krystal finally said after their explanation she was staring at Jiyeon intensely as if she wanted to play with her but was afraid to do so


"What choice do we have Soojung-ah, we couldn't let Jiyeon get taken away from us..." Taeyeon answered her sadly


"Besides we are old enough to make decisions for ourselves. Actually both of us had wanted to have our own families someday, I guess fate just had earlier plans for us to have them" Jiyong answered as well


"I see...well since it has already been done then all we can do is give you all our support. But you know for someone who just got married two days ago, are you sure you haven't been dating before? You two look awfully close" Krystal said teasingly making the two of them blush

 


"Hey this is a little off topic but you two are really different from how the you are on TV, I mean aren't you both supposed to be cold, disrespectful and kind of well...mean? No offense alright" said Jiyong


"None taken" the two Jungs said in unison 


"We don't really want to appear that way but that's the image our company wants to show so we just follow it, because of that our attitudes, especially Soojung, have always been a topic on the internet. We even have problems with other idols who don't know the truth unlike our labelmates and we can't change how we act because SM wont allow us to change our ice princess image, and well we kind of gotten used to it." Jessica explained sadly


"Oh so that's why... Well from now on if people asks me what I think of you two then I'll just say your warm and friendly, almost cuddly hahaha" he said to lighten their moods


"You're really weird oppa. Hm and since we already changed the topic, Taeyeon unnie how come you're here? Aside from the issue about this set up alright. But aren't you guys supposed to be not getting along, with my unnie leaving SNSD and all." Krystal asked with interest 


"Well let's just say that we finally cleared things up. But Soojung-ah you can't tell anyone from SM that I'm here okay I'm not supposed to be friends with the girls again mich less contact them and hang out." Jessica ordered her sister


"About Jiyong oppa and Taeyeon unnie of course I won't tell anyone but um....er....unnie I kind of already told someone that you're here." Krystal answered 


"What?! Who? Pabo-yah who did you tell??!!" Jessica said standing up from her seat


"Er....don't worry he's not from SM....it's um....him....I'm sorry unnie I'm really sorry but he has been bugging me non stop to tell him if you come and he looked pitiful so I told him where your house is" the younger Jung said while continually apologizing to her sister


"Ugh what were you thinking Soojung-ah??!!! Ugh so when did he say he will be coming?" Jessica asked in annoyance 


"Well that's the reason that I'm here unnie, you guys distracted me I came here to warm you that he's coming...


~Ding Dong~ ~Ding Dong~ 


~Ding Dong~ ~Ding Dong~ 


...today" Krystal finished just as the doorbell rang


"Quick hide!!! Oppa get your things, hide really well and Tae make sure Jiyeon doesn't make a sound of you'll get caught" Jessica immediately said as they heard the doorbell


"Wha-what who's coming Sica-ah?? Where should we hide??" Taeyeon replied panicking


"Go to the pantry. The pantry. It has a connecting door  to my library just in case you need to change your hiding place. And whatever you do don't make a sound arraseo?!" 


"Okay. Let's go Tae!" Jiyong hurried while carrying their things 


Jiyong and Taeyeon hid in the pantry while Jessica and Krystal cleared the living area and moved the food to the kitchen and checked if anything was left behind. They were so rushed in scoping the living area for anything they have missed that they forgot to tell Jiyong and Taeyeon to switch off their phones.

 


"Co-come in oppa unnie is inside having lunch. I already told her that you're coming" Krystal said as she lead the guest to the dining room


"Sooyeon...." he said when he saw the woman seated at the table


"Yo-youngbae oppa..." she answered standing up to meet him


"What-what are doing here op-oppa? We don't have anything to talk about anymore. Please stop asking my sister for my whereabouts" she said turning her back to mask her nervousness at Youngbae's presence


But without a word he came forward and hugged her from behind "we have many thigs to talk about Jung Sooyeon" he said seriously "I didn't come here to apologize since I have nothing to apologize for aside from making you cry. Please just listen to me and stop pushing me away" he said but his words were only met by silence from her


"I didn't sleep with her Sooyeon-ah. I wouldn't do that. You know me and I love you too much to cheat on you. Please believe me please give me another chance. If you want I'll court you again and again until I gain your trust" he pleaded


"But-but I saw you exit the hotel...Please oppa I just need more time" she replied still not accepting his words


"Yes I was in that hotel that night and so was she, but we weren't together, I came there with Jiyong because we had a dinner meeting for an endorsement. It was all there is, you-you can ask him if you still won't believe me" he explained while taking his phone out making Sooyeon face him


"Wha-what are you do-doing??" 


"I'm calling Jiyong so that you would believe me" he answered 


"No don't!!" she tried to stop him but a loud sound could already be heard


Youngbae became confused at the sound "that's Jiyong's ringtone....why would his phone be here??" 


"A-ani oppa that's also my ringtone!!" Krystal suddenly said from behind him


"Really? Well that's weird..." he said suspiciously. He was still trying to call Jiyong as he walked slowly to where the sound is coming from "Krystal-ah if that's your phone....then how come the sound is coming from here!" he said as he forced the pantry door open 

 

-----------------------------------

 

While Jessica and Youngbae were having their moment outside inside the small pantry a different moment was taking place

 

Badump badump badump


She's-she's too close. Look away Jiyong don't stare at her face....her beautiful eyes....her cute lips....ah Kwon Jiyong stop looking!! Jiyong shouted in his mind but he couldn't stop staring at her not realizing that he is  slowly leaning closer


Dugeun dugeun 


Kim Taeyeon stop thinking. Calm your mind...calm your mind....aish that stupid Jessica Jung bringing up her past crush now i've become too conscious....he's still Jiyong your husband, that didn't change....calm your heart...you can't be like that it's too fast....too early...don't think about his proximity...don't think about his crisp and cool scent...his lean shoulders...ani Kim Taeyeon look up! Oh bad idea Taeyeon told herself as she met Jiyong's eyes and got caught in his deep stare sensing him lean closer....and....closer....

 

 

Then Youngbae's voice suddenly  came from outside their hiding place


"Krystal-ah if that's your phone....then how come the sound is coming from here!" he said as he forced the pantry door open


"Who-Jiyong?? Kim Taeyeon-ssi?? What are you doing here??!! What is the meaning of this?!!!" He shouted in anger "Do you know how worried everyone is??!!! You disappeared Ji! We couldn't contact you and no one, not even your family knew where you were. We even tried looking at every hospital and clinic in Seoul thinking that you got into an accident on something" he shouted grabbing Jiyong by his shirt


"Yo-youngbae-ssi calm down please you're scaring Jiyeon" Taeyeon said from behind Jiyong. She was holding Jiyeon who was starting to cry from fright because of Youngbae's anger


"Tae-Taeyeon-ssi I'm sorry" he said to her as he let go of Jiyong's shirt, he bowed to her in apology "...but who is Jiyeon...?" 

 


"Well since he already found you I guess you should explain as well. I think Youngbae oppa knowing is also for the best since Jiyong-oppa would also be able to get help from his side" Jessica said "but Jiyong will have to do it himself because I think Taeyeon needs to feed Jiyeon, she may be hungry, it's already too late for her lunch. Krystal-ah can you help me heat up the food in the kitchen while Taeyeon feeds her?" she ordered everyone like the boss that she is but in reality she was thankful for something to do so that she wouldn't have to face Youngbae bae


Thank God oppa opened the door or...or...or what Kim Taeyeon what were you thinking about?! 

 

 

"Kwon Jiyong I want the whole  truth alright..." Youngbae told Jiyong seriously, he knew that if his bestfriend calls him by his whole name then he is very mad so  Jiyong explained to his bestfriend what happened and what the score is between him and Taeyeon. 


"I think I understand why you two did those things...but Ji have you really moved on from...her? I know you say that the two of you broke up in good terms but you can't lie to me, I've known you for almost half of our lives, and I know that's not true. Shouldn't you tell Taeyeon?? She IS your wife, and she deserves to know about her"


"I know bro but I'm still waiting for the right time. Although we are married we are still in the process of getting to know each other, kinda like the first stages of dating but this time with a marriage certificate to seal the deal" 


"Hm...well good thing though that it's Kim Taeyeon-ssi who you're married to, at least you won't have a hard time"


"What do you mean? A hard time to what?" Jiyong asked his friend


"A hard time to fall for her of course! Oh come on man, it's Taeyeon-ssi, your long time crush, the only girl that you, the playboy Kwon Jiyong, would never touch. I know that if you just had the chance with her in the past then you would have done everything to make her like you back but she came into the picture changinng everything, even you. Maybe this time fate is working to make things right. What do you know, maybe you two are really fated together." Youngbae answered lowering his voice just in case the girls came in

 

While the boys were talking the girls were also having their own conversations


"What happened in there Tae?" Jessica asked with a smirk


"Nothing." She replied quickly. Too quick


"Unnie your redder than this tomato, no way nothing happened" said Krystal while holding up a cherry tomato


"Now spill!" Jessica commanded 


"Nothing I said. I can't spill anything because nothing happened, we did almost kiss I think, but please emphasize on almost because the door suddenly opened" Taeyeon shyly explained still blushing once again feeling the butterflies in her stomach as she remembered what happened. Her reactionmaking the two girls grin and squeal at her cuteness


"Yah Taeyeon-ah why are you acting all shy all of a sudden?" Jessica said teasing the girl "what's there to be shy about almost kissing your husband or are you actually disappointed that it didn't happen? Tsk tsk" her words made Taeyeon's cheeks warmer than it already was


"Omo unnie you look like you are a teenager trying on dating for the first time. Kyupta!" Krystal followed up


"Yah you two stop teasing me already" replied Taeyeon while fanning her face to cool it down "and Krystal being called cute by the youngest idol in our company doesn't really encourage me too much hahaha shouldn't I, one of the oldest, be calling the younger ones cute and not the other way around?" She said to change the topic


"Oh and Sica sooner or later you are going to tell me everything about you and Taeyang oppa. Since when have you been this close, even calling each other without any formalities and going to each other's house...what did he say again?? Oh right hahaha he just said "I love you too much to cheat on you" hahaha now don't tell me that it's nothing. THAT can't be nothing. Aish you've been holding out on me Sica-ah" now it was Jessica's turn to blush at Taeyeon's words making the girl laugh even more, even Krystal had to join in


Her laughter brought the boys to the kitchen to see what was up 


"Did we miss anything?" Jiyong asked the three of them


"A-aniyo!!!" Jessica stammered making the two other girls laugh once again


"Well anyway Kim Taeyeon-ssi, ani, sister-in-law welcome to the family!" Youngbae warmly said to Taeyeon before he bent down to level himself with Jiyeon "Jiyeonnie samchon is sorry for scaring you okay, I'll buy you some gifts to make up for it later arraseo?" 


"Neh~~" Jiyeon answered him

 

 


"Unnies, oppas I need to go. Our manager oppa asked me to go back to the company, Jongin is picking me up." Krystal said to them after they finished eating. Taeyeon had settled Jiyeon on Jessica's guest room for a nap, leaving the door open in case she woke up and cried.


"Okay take care Krystal. Call me before you drop in again arraseo?" Jessica answered back 

 

 

 

"And Krystal please don't tell Kai...." Taeyeon shouted before she went out of the door, Krystal just nodded her head in understanding.


Without Krystal and Jiyeon the atmosphere became awkward once again. No one knew what to say but Jiyong's curiousity overcame his awkwardness. 


"So you two...since when?" he asked cocking his eyebrows up in question 


"Um..." "Er..." Youngbae and Jessica answered in unison


"We're dating..." Youngbae said again just as Jessica said "we broke up.." 

Their different answers confused Jiyong so he tried again "so two two of you were dating but broke up?" 


"No...ah yes" Youngbae changed his answer seeing Jessica's sharp look


"Correct oppa, our Dong Youngbae oppa here just became too much" Jessica said coldly. Her harsh words sent a jolt of pain to Youngbae's heart, he knew that deep inside he really was at fault, not only about their last issue but for all the times that he had made Jessica cry. He knew that she had given him many chances whenever he messed up, too many, for someone like him. But in the end whatever he did she still accepted him, still loved him....but even the warmest person can go cold... and now here he was again trying to win her back, trying to thaw the ice that he left in her heart.


"Jiyong do you remeber that night in 2015....when we met in Seoul Hotel for that endorsement deal that we refused, the one in which we were supposed to endorse some beer...do you remember that we rejected that offer when we realized that they were just taking a ride on our popularity because we were under fire for our drinking scandals..." Youngbae asked Jiyong seriously while he was facing Jessica


"Oh why shouldn't I remember it was epic. We looked really cool when we turned down those guys. Who did they think they were, we don't need their money to scar our reputations more than it already was, why?" Jiyong answered 


"Do you remember how on that night we met a girl outside who was so drunk that she could barely walk??" he asked again


"Hmm...oh that crazy girl who was shouting at you and cursing you so much. Man that girl can cuss. Hahaha oh man if she just knew who she shouted at she would have groveled at your feet to apologize. Who would dare shout at Bigbang's Taeyang?" he chuckled but his  laughter was cut short when he realized that his bestfriend was serious 


"Oh she knew. She knew who she was shouting at" he revealed, his eyes still not leaving Jessica


"What??! She knew and she still did it. What a crazy girl. Why the heck would she do something like that?" Jiyong asked him but it was Jessica who answered his question "she did that because he left her.....He left her for me" 


"Wha-what?!!" This time it was both Jiyong and Taeyeon who shouted


"You heard her. That girl was my ex who I left for our ice princess here, but is now the ultimate cause why Sooyeon and I broke up. Karma's a huh" Youngbae chuckled dryly


"Wait so the two of you broke up last year and you haven't been able to talk since then? Wow Jessica you must really be special" Jiyong was amazed. So she was the reason why Youngbae had been depressed this past few months he thought


His words made Jessica stand up "Tae-Taeyeon-ah can you help me  for a bit I-I need to get something from my room" she said as she dashed out of her own living room leaving the three others stunned at her actions


"I think it's best for you to leave for now oppa, don't worry I'll take care of her" Taeyeon said to Youngbae bafore she followed Jessica to her room


"Dude did I say something wrong?" Jiyong asked the frozen Youngbae who's eyes didn't leave Jessica during the time he was there


"No....no it wasn't you Ji. Tell Jessica....tell her that I won't give up. Oh and please thank your wife for taking care of her" Youngbae said as he turned to leave


"Shouldn't you tell her that yourself?" Jiyong asked but Youngbae didn't answer and just continued walking to the front door but as he stepped outside  "see ya later bro. And please answer your phone. I'll make up some story for you but make sure to get back by next week. And I promise I won't tell anybody so rest assured"

 


-knock- -knock- 


"Sica it's me open up" Taeyeon said from outside Jessica's room. Hearing the click of the lock she came in to find a weeping girl but knowing Jessica, she just sat down next to the girl on her bed waiting for her to speak.


"It's-it's hard Tae" Jessica started to say as she raised her head so Taeyeon opened her arms offering a hug to her sister 


"It's okay Sica, it's gonna be okay...your  hurt deeply because you loved just as deeply..." Taeyeon replied in understanding 


"But why Tae.... he hurt me so much....but why....why can't I still get over him...why does it still hurt like it was yesterday? It's been months since we broke up Tae! So why??..." Jessica asked


Taeyeon knew that at this point Jessica was asking herself and not her so she chose not to answer and to let the girl cry... 

After Jessica's tears slowed down Taeyeon finally asked her "Sica do you really not love him anymore?...Listen, I don't know your story, but from seeing you cry like that for him I know he means so much to you." 


"....yes I do still love him....but loving him hurts Tae....it hurts....but being without him hurts so much more..." Jessica softly answered


"Then why do you choose to hurt yourself? Why not try to give him another chance, maybe this time he won't hurt you anymore....I heard him earlier Jess, I could see that he really loves you" Taeyeon said back. Taeyeon could understand the girl beside her. She was hurt but she was hurting herself more by refusing to forgive the one she loves...if only life was easy then everyone who is in love wouldn't have to suffer pain 


"I-I'll think about it Tae...I'll think about it..." Jessica sadly answered

 

 

 

When Jiyong and his family drove away from Jessica's house Taeyeon had been silent. He didn't want to disturb her since he knew that she was thinking anout Jessica and Youngbae, he knew because  that was what he was thinking about too.


"Oppa....let's help them" she suddenly spoke


"Do you really think that they need our help?" he asked but he knew that Youngbae would need his help because he wouldn't know how to woe someone's heart back and he knew that Jessica was really special to his friend because he had held on to her despite their break up months ago. And he knew that when Youngbae falls in love, it was deep and it was true, that's the main reason why he's only had one relationship till now, well two counting his and Jessica's.


"I know Jessica oppa. I know that if no one pushes her or tells her, she could be so stubborn. But when she falls for a man, she gives him her whole heart, and that's why when it gets broken, she takes a long time to get back on her feet and try to love again. I finally knew that it was Youngbae opps who healed her heart from her last break up and I'm scared that she wouldn't be able to gather herself anymore if she ends up with a broken heart again. I will do anything to get them back together oppa, will you help me?" she asked him


"If you say so then i'll give my support as well, if she loved my friend as much as he loves her then I as well will give my help, although I don't think we can do much anyway if they too won't step up to help themselves" answered Jiyong

 

"Hmmm...so oppa about what happened earlier...in the pantry..." Taeyeon brought up, it had been nagging in her mind and Jiyong wasn't saying anything so she did it herself


"Oh...about that....um....spur of the moment?" he answered lamely. Actually his heart was beating loudly and he couldn't look at her face so he focused instead on the road he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop himself the next time it happens, with or without Jiyeon between them


"Oh..." was all Taeyeon could say, she didn't know why she was disappointed with his explanation yah Kim Taeyeon did you think he actually has feeling for you? Aish think again pabo she said to herself

 

 


"Let's go find another mall now oppa or at least a department store where we can get our things" she said to change the topic 


"Arraseo" he said as he drove on but he was still thinking about their almost-kiss "stupid Kwon Jiyong you're really stupid"


-----------------------------------


A/N:


Hahaha you guys guessed it right it was Jung Soojung but she was just a messenger hahahahaha sorry Soojungie!  dan~da~ra~ran drumroll~ another surprise guest arrives!!!! Hahahaha shocked?? Keke  I did say that this was a SoShiBang story so how do we call it that without other SoShiBang couples right??!! This would be it for the people who knows the secret about Jiyeon 

List of Imos and Samchons who know about her:
•Jessica 
•Youngbae/Taeyang
•Seohyun
•Krystal
•who knows when the next person will come hehe why don't you guys take a guess :)


Sorry for those who wanted a different pair up with Jessica or Youngbae, I read a story here in AFF (I'm really sorry to the author but I forgot which story) and one of the couples paired up were Sica and Youngbae and I felt that based on that story they had good chemistry so I'm putting them here as the 2nd SoShiBang couple

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for my next updates!
