Chapter 8
Department X
The customer took a look at the disheveled Jessica in front of her and picked up the napkin that was placed on the table. Stretching out her arm, she carefully dabbed the sweat off Jessica's face and delicatly brushed away the bangs that had fallen over her eyes. Jessica blushed and turned away, taking the napkin from her and wiping her face herself. Returning back behind the counter, Jessica sneaked at the glance at the customer who raised her glass of ma juice at her as a way of saying thanks for the trouble taken.
She stayed for an hour in the cafe and throughout this hour, Jessica couldn't stop her eyes from sneaking glances at the artwork in front of her. She sat in the corner with the sun streaming in and somehow the light just seems to radiate off her. Jessica loves how her brows would sometimes narrow into a frown as she concentrates on the laptop in front of her and sometimes, she would break out into a smile revealing deep smile lines. The teatime crowd started streaming in after a while and Jessica had to concentrate on her coffee brewing again. After finally clearing the crowd, she tried looking for the customer again but could not find her on the couch. Thinking that she had left, Jessica dejectedly turned back to the sink and started cleaning up. Just then, she heard the clearing of a throat at the cashier counter and turned towards its direction only to come face to face with the artwork again. Smiling, she took out a credit card from her wallet. "Thanks so much for specially making ma juice for me. I enjoyed drinking it a lot." Glancing at the name on the credit card. Jessica now knew what her mysterious artwork's name was. Kwon Yuri. Judging from the name, she must be either chinese or korean. Pushing back the credit card to her, Jessica smiled and replied "Its my treat this time." Yuri smiled again and thanked her for the treat before grabbing her bag from the counter and leaving the cafe. Jessica sighed as she knew she won't see her again. Turning back to the sink, she resumed her washing up as she heard a scream coming from inside the kitchen. "Jessica Jung Soo Yeon, how could you buy a hundred bucks worth of ma."
==================================================
That night after closing up the cafe, Jessica decided to pay the new club in town a visit. Donning a pink mini dress, she hailed a cab from outside the cafe and headed for club. It was ladies night and as she entered the club, she noticed many people on the dance floor. Grabbing a seat by the bar, she ordered what she always have. A Johnny Walker blue label on the rocks. As she sipped on her drink slowly savouring the richness and intensity of it, she looked towards the dance floor where a figure was gyrating her body to the beats spun out by the dj. Taking a closer look, she realised it was the customer from today, the artwork she couldn't stop looking at, Kwon Yuri. She looked so different at night in her Versace off shoulder number and she was surrounded by guys who seemed more interested in her body than at dancing. Their eyes met across the dance floor and time seemed to stop. Jessica could feel Yuri's eyes piercing deep into her soul as she slowly felt herself heating up. Blaming it on the drink she just had, Jessica decided to order another one to cool off.as she could feel her face reddening and she fanned at herself vigourously.
It was just then when she felt a hand slowly snaking itself around her waist. Thinking it to be another guy with a ertic thought in his mind, Jessica grabbed hold of the arm and was about to snapped it off at the elbow when she turned into the arms of... Kwon Yuri? Before she could react, Yuri whispered two words into her ears "Help me" and pressed their lips firmly together. She could feel Yuri's tongue dancing gently on her lips and she parted allowing it access. Their tongues entwined together like in a dance as she felt Yuri pulling her closer and closer. Slowly increasing her grip on Yuri's arm, she pulled Yuri into her embrace, pressing their bodies together. Her head was spinning with confusion as it whirled in a frenzy, she didnt know what she was doing nor why she is doing this. She had just one clear thought in her mind. She didn't want this moment to end.
