Chapter 7

Jessica’s POV

 

I try my wedding dress, the moment the curtain opens I saw Hee-Chul smiling at me. I hope the person smiling at me right now is Soo.

 

‘ You are so beautiful ’

 

‘ Thank you ’ I force a smile

 

‘ Do you want to try a few more before you choose one? ’ he asks

 

I shake my head

 

‘ This one is fine ’

 

All I want is get out of that dress.....

 

After we get out of the shop

 

‘ How about we eat something before I send you home? ’

 

‘ Sure ’

 

‘ What do you want to eat? ’

 

‘ How about Italian? ’

 

‘ Sure, there’s an Italian restaurant upstairs. Let’s go ’

 

We walk while talking casually, then his phone is ringing.

 

‘ Sorry, I have to take this ’

 

‘ Sure ’ I smile

 

He walks away, I look around then I saw a familiar figure looking at her.

 

SooSica’s POV

 

Soo wants to buy something at the shopping mall, the moment she came out from the shop she saw Sica with Hee-Chul.

 

Soo is about to walk away, she feels someone holding her wrist

 

‘ Soo ’ a soft voice calling her

 

The tall girl knows perfectly who’s that voice belong too. She slowly pushes Sica’s hand away and turns to face her.

 

‘ You seem happy with him ’

 

Sica shakes her head

 

‘ I miss you, I miss us ’

 

‘ How can you miss us? With me, we can’t never go out in public. We just hide in our apartment. Now, you can freely go on a date ’

 

‘ Please don’t say this ’ Sica tries to hold her tears and holds Soo’s hand again

 

Soo is fighting hard to hold her tears. Seeing the girl she loves so much being with someone is killing her.

 

‘ Miss Jung, please let go of my hand if you don’t want your fiancé to see you holding my hand ’

 

Sica shakes her head

 

‘ You are hurting me Soo. I love you, you are the only person I want to be with, please...... ’ Sica is pleading

 

Soo shakes her head

 

‘ You choose him, I’m just a nobody to you ’

 

‘ You are not a nobody, I love you. You’re my world. ’

 

‘ If you really love me, you will fight for us but instead you choose to get marry with him because you are scare about what people around you will say ’

 

‘ I told you I just need more time..... I will get divorce I will....... ’

 

‘ Stop, I just want to forget about us and start a new life. Please don’t make thing more complicate for me ’

 

‘ I don’t want you to forget about us. You can be mad at me but please don’t push me out of your life ’

 

‘ I didn’t choose this, you were the one who choose it for me. Have a great evening Miss Jung ’ Soo bows and walks away.

 

After Soo left, Hee-Chul comes back

 

‘ Sica, are you alright? ’ he asked worriedly

 

‘ I’m not feeling very well, can you send me home? ’

 

‘ Sure ’

 

Soo is hiding at the corner making sure the blond girl is alright. When she saw Hee-Chul, the tall girl smiles bitterly.

 

After she saw them leave, Soo burst into tears.

 

‘ Hey... ’

 

Soo quickly wipes her tears and looks up. The girl she met in the park is standing in front of her

 

‘ Are you alright? ’ she asked worriedly

 

Soo’s tears are falling down again. The girl slowly wipe it off the tall girl and hug the crying girl.

 

A few weeks later

 

Tomorrow will be Sica’s wedding, she is in the office trying to find Soo. After searching for a while, she find Soo in the alley walking toward the elevator.

 

‘ Soo.... ’

 

Soo turns around and saw Sica walking toward her

 

‘ Yes Miss Jung? ’

 

Sica suddenly hugs Soo

 

‘ I miss you so much ’

 

Soo slowly pulls off the hug

 

‘ I already make myself very clear Miss Jung. Tomorrow is your wedding, you should stop whatever the feeling you have for me ’

 

‘ I can’t. How can you ask me to forget my feeling for you ’

 

‘ Tomorrow is your wedding, you will be someone’s wife. That fact will never change, we can never be together ’

 

‘ Yes, maybe I’m someone else wife but I only have you in my heart that fact never change. Soo, please we can still be together as long as he don’t know ’

 

Soo slowly shakes her head and give Sica a sad smiles

 

‘ Erase Choi Sooyoung in your heart. I can’t share the person I love with someone else. He is a good man, try to love him and let him replace me in your heart because he’ll be your husband. Please don’t say those words again, because I don’t want the person I once loved become a cheater. Congratulation for your wedding Mrs. Kim ’ with this Soo walks away leaving the crying Sica in the alley.

 

‘ Soo........ ’ Sica screams but the tall girl didn’t turns back.

 

Jessica’s POV

 

Today is the longest day of my life. I don’t know why I said I do and walk down the aisle to marry someone I don’t love.

 

I’m not brave enough to fight for the one I love.........

 

‘ Sica, are you alright? ’

 

Hee-Chul holds my hand while driving to our home.

 

‘ I’m fine. Just a little bit tired ’

 

I postponed our honeymoon trip by saying I’m very busy because of our big project......

 

After a while, we finally arrive to our new apartment. Tonight is our wedding night but I really don’t want him to touch me.

 

I feel him back hugging and slowly turns me to face him. He slowly leans closer I really want to turn my head away but I know I can’t. He is my husband now and he has the right to claim me. So I just let him kiss me, while kissing me he picks me up and lays me on the bed. I feel him ping my dress, I close my eyes and clenched on the bed sheet.

 

I’m sorry Soo.............

 

The next morning, I woke up and feel oppa’s arm around my waist. I slowly get off the bed and cover myself with a blanket. I went inside the bathroom and tears start to fall down. I just want to see Soo right now.

 

I went out the bathroom and saw oppa already awake and smile at me.

 

‘ Morning Sica ’

 

‘ Morning oppa, I’m going to prepare breakfast ’ I tried to avoid my eyes contact with him.

 

In the dining room, we eat silently.

 

‘ Sica..... ’

 

‘ Yes? ’

 

‘ I’m sorry about last night ’

 

‘ Sorry about what? ’

 

‘ Last night I shouldn’t... ’

 

‘ Oppa, please don’t ’

 

He suddenly holds my hand on the table

 

‘ I promise I won’t touch you again. I will take care of you like a sister ’

 

‘ I’m your wife not your sister ’

 

‘ I know you are my wife and I also know you are force into that marriage ’

 

‘ ...................... ’

 

‘ I need to be honest with you......I............. ’

 

‘ You what? ’

 

‘ I......I’m.......I’m gay ’ he finally said it

 

‘ You what? ’

 

‘ I’m gay Sica. I’m really sorry ’

 

‘ If you are gay, then why you accept to date me and get married? ’ I can’t hold my anger.

 

‘ Because I am like you. I don’t have the courage to tell my parents ’

 

‘ What are you talking about? ’

 

‘ I heard you and Choi Sooyoung in the shopping mall that day ’

 

‘ If you are gay, then why last night........ ’

 

‘ I tried to love you as a lover but I really can’t. I’m sorry. I will make it up to you Sica. I know I was wrong last night I’m really sorry ’

 

‘ Stop saying sorry, what happen is happened. I forgive you ’ Sica said

 

Hee Chul smiles ‘ Thank you. I will move to the guest room starting tonight ’

 

‘ I need you to explain everything thing to Soo, except last night part ’

 

Hee Chul nods

 

‘ But what about our parents? ’ I ask

 

‘ We can act like a married couple in front of them. We can tell them when you are ready ’

I know then

 

‘ Wait.........last night when we did it, did you have protection? ’

 

‘ Of course ’

 

I’m relieve, I don’t know what I will do if I get pregnant.

 

At the office

 

‘ Morning Miss Jung ’ my secretary bows

 

‘ Morning, can you call Sooyoung for me ’

 

‘ Miss Choi is not here yet ’

 

‘ Ask her to come into my office when she’s here ’

 

Inside my office, I saw a letter on my desk. I recognize Soo’s hand writing. I open the envelop

 

Dear Jessica,

 

The moment you saw this letter I’m already on the plane leaving Korea. I’m sorry that I didn’t give my resignation to you personally.

 

Thank you for hiring me a few years ago and giving all those bittersweet memory of us.

 

Take care

Choi Sooyoung

 

TaeNy’s POV

 

‘ Tae, are you sure about this? ’ Sumni asks

 

‘ Yes ‘

 

‘ I suggested yesterday, is it too fast for you to make a decision? ‘

 

‘ No, I’m thankful for the offer. This is a really great opportunity for me ‘ Tae smiles

 

During last night diner, Sumni admits to Tae that she is the heir of the Great Corporation, she works for Tiffany because her parents want her to get some experience before giving the company to her.

 

Now, it’s time for her to get back to her company and she offers a vice president position to Tae.

 

‘ But Tae, we need to leave Seoul for 3 years to take care of the new company in London ‘

 

‘ I know, don’t worry. I will help you, you are always by my side when I’m side. Now, it’s my turn ‘

 

Sumni sighs ‘ I don’t want you to regret it ‘

 

Tae smiles ‘ Hey, I will the VP of the Great’s Corporation. How can I regret it? Ok, let’s stop talking about it, I already made my decision. ‘

 

Tiffany is working on her computer

 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

 

‘ Come in ‘ she said without looking up

‘ I’m sorry to bother you miss Hwang, do you have a minutes? ‘

 

‘ Of course ‘ Fany smiles while looking up, of course she knows who this voice belong too.

 

Tae slowly walks toward Fany’s desk. Fany’s smiles disappear when she saw Tae puts an envelop on her desk.

 

‘ What’s that? ’

 

‘ My resignation letter ‘

 

‘ What? ‘

 

‘ I’m leaving the company ‘

 

‘ I’m not taking this letter, take it back ‘ Fany said

 

‘ I’m sorry, but I’m not taking this letter back. Like it or not, I’m leaving in two weeks ‘ Tae walks away.

 

Before she can reach the door knob, she feels a hand grabbing her wrist.

 

‘ Tae, please let’s talk. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m sorry ‘

 

Tae sighs and slowly turns to face Fany.

 

‘ I accept your apologize ‘

 

Fany smiles

 

‘ Thank you ‘ the eye smile girl hugs Tae tightly.

 

She feels her heart beating faster, she wants to stay longer in that position but Tae slowly pull off the hug.

 

‘ I’ll give the resignation letter back ‘ Fany quickly turns away, she don’t want Tae to see her blushing

 

‘ No need, I already make it very clear. I’m leaving the company ’ Tae said

 

‘ B-b-but you said you accept my apologize ‘

 

‘ Yes, it doesn’t mean I’ll stay ‘

 

‘ What? We are friend, you can’t….’

‘ We were friend ‘

 

‘ What???? ‘

 

‘ Look, I don’t want to waste my time with you here. I already make my decision ‘ Tae said coldly and walks away

 

After the door close, Fany takes the resignation letter hugging it tight while crying

 

‘ Tae……. ‘

 

Two weeks later

 

Taeyeon is packing her stuffs inside her office.

 

‘ I’ll be down in a few minutes Sumni. See you ‘

 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

 

Without waiting for Tae’s answer the door slowly open.

 

‘ What do you want miss Hwang? ‘ Tae asks without looking up

 

‘ Tae, can we talk ‘ Fany asks while walking toward the shorter girl

 

‘ We already talk, please leave I’m packing my stuff ‘

 

Tears falls down from Fany while watching Tae puts her stuffs in the box.

 

She went toward the older girl and hug her.

 

‘ Please don’t leave me ‘

 

Tae sighs

 

‘ Please let me go, you will find another employee to replace me very soon ‘

 

The younger girl shakes her head

 

‘ No, I love you ‘

 

‘ You don’t love me, you just need me in your company. You made it very clear that you are straight ‘

 

‘ I realise I love you more than just a friend ‘

 

Tae chuckles bitterly

 

‘ You can really do anything to keep me in your company. But sorry, no matter what you say, I won’t believe ‘ Tae starts to walk away with a box in hand

 

‘ Why don’t you believe me? ‘ Fany holds Tae’s arms

 

‘ Because I don’t see why you suddenly in love with me. Even after we slept together, you avoided me so why suddenly you confess your love to me ‘ Tae walks away

 

When she is about to walk out of the office she turns back

 

‘ Don’t say you are in love with someone when you are not ‘ with those words, Tae disappear into the elevator.

 

Tiffany is crying inside the empty office.

 

‘ I love you, why don’t you believe me ‘ she talks to no one.
