I Choose You [AU]: I
Love In ColorA petite woman with golden-brown hair is walking back and forth in front of the ICU. She looks worried, deadly worried to be exact. As the red lamp still light up above the operation room, she might be walking until the red turns into green
“Jessica” a low voice from a middle-aged man jerked her. She turned her head aside and finds her parent is standing with the same look; worried
“Mom, Dad…” Jessica sighed, “Is she will be okay?”
“Park Chunghoo is a great doctor,” said Mr. Jung, “I know him for a long time since resident days so you need to believe him”
“Who is she, Sica?” Mrs. Jung asked, “You never introduce her to us and yet, why Yuri also came to the hospital”
“She’s… friend” there’s a short pause between Jessica’s words, “Same faculty with Yuri?”
“Faculty of Medicine?” Mr. Jung asked, as a doctor in the university hospital, which is Jessica’s college, he knows almost all of the co-assistant doctor
“Yes. The same year with Yuri too” Jessica answered
“Oh, four years” Mr. Jung nods his head, “I hope she would be okay since the co-assistant years will be starting in the 6 months”
Jessica sighed heavily when listening to her father, this is so ed up and she has no idea what should she say after this to her parent
“Father, Mother” Yuri came from behind. Her head patched a little and she had a little scratch on her upper arm
“Oh, Yuri. Are you okay?” Mrs. Jung examining Yuri from her head to her toe
“I’m fine”
“Of course, she’s fine” Jessica rolled her eyes
“I’m really sorry, Jessica. Like I said before that I did not see Taeyeon crossed my way”
“She was riding her motorcycle with the standard speed in the tranquil road yet you hit her” Jessica glared on her fiancée, well, both of them are engaged since the first year of their college day
“Sica” Mr. Jung placed his hands onto Jessica’s shoulders, “Let’s go home”
“But Taeyeon…” as in the cue, a couple entered the hallway, both of them looks like Taeyeon so Mr. Jung assumed that they are Taeyeon’s parent
“Are you Taeyeon’s parent?” Mr. Jung asked
“Ah, yeah. We’re sorry, we need to wait for Taeyeon’s brother for driving us there because my eyesight is decreasing” said Mr. Kim, “Thank you for accompanying Taeyeon to be there”
“That’s fine” Mr. Jung smiled warmly, “My daughter was the one who called you”
“You must be Jessica” Mrs. Kim smiled, “Thank you”
“You’re welcome, Mrs. Kim” Jessica bows
“Kim Taeyeon was assigned to the best doctor here” Mrs. Jung smiled to the couple, “It would be fine”
“Thank you again”
“Since you are here, we will take our leave” Mrs. Jung bows and takes Jessica’s hand, followed by Mr. Jung and Yuri
“We’ll see you later” Mr. Jung bowed a little before proceeds to the seat near the door
“Sica…” Yuri halted their steps, “You can go home with me”
“No need” Jessica replied coldly, “You can go home and fix your car”
“But…”
“Yuri, since Jessica refused, let her be” Mr. Jung smiled again, he’s totally warm compared to Jessica or her mother
“Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow”
“No. Fix your car first and we will talk later” Jessica stated again and walks away to her parent’s car
“Do you want to talk about, who is it again, ah, Kim Taeyeon?” Mrs. Jung looks at the rearview, to see Jessica is crossed her arms and her face is tired
“No, not now, Mom,” said Jessica
“Sica…”
“We can talk about it tomorrow, huh?” Mr. Jung placed his hand on top of Mrs. Jung and caresses it gently. He knows both of them are stubborn and it would be harder if they talk with their tiredness like this
“I hope it’s not affecting your engagement, Sica” said Mrs. Jung, “You know it would be hard to tell Wori and Eunjung about that”
“How is it related to Yuri?” Jessica challenged
“What does it mean?”
“Yuri could be the one behind the accident”
“Jessica, Katherine” Mr. Jung cut them off, “We can talk it later, Babies. You guys look tired”
“Okay” Jessica and her mom chorused. They fall in silence on the trip back home
*****
Jessica throws herself to her bed after a quick wash. She examined her engagement photo which framed on the nightstand, between her and Yuri
She knows she’s not that “in love” with the particular girl but their family connection made it happen. Jessica’s father is a well-known surgeon while Kwon Wori, Yuri’s father also being a well-known pediatric surgeon in the same hospital, while Yuri’s mother is a daughter of hospital’s director, where both of Jessica’s and Yuri’s father worked at
Jessica is a law student, she wanted to be a prosecutor like her mother even though her dad really wants her to be a doctor like him
She knows Yuri since junior high school, both of them enrolled in private schools since their parent is well-off. Yuri likes Jessica, o
