Chapter 37: And the plot thicken Part 1

 

“Out and About: The Mysterious Lady is confirmed to be Jung’s ex-girlfriend”

 

Eyes roaming around, looking at each other faces, tons of questions pops now and then. The African American Diva (so she claimed), grinning from ear to ear.

“Soo…” the chisel looking guy trails, looking at his officemates

“So, our mysterious lady is a well-known person in the archeology world”

“Ooh… educated” Rachel was fairly impress

“ah, yes, very, “ Quinn added “She’s the heir of the Kwons Company, a genius that is, product of Ivy Leagues, she won a few young archeologist award for her founding and journal”

Santana chirp in “She is Korean American, figures, it is said that Baby J and Miss K met during their high school days and ended up their relationship in a not so flattering ways”

“Hence the rumble between them”

Quinn took out a picture of Yuri and shows it “Well, this is the only picture that I managed to get for the time being”

 It was a picture of Yuri, wearing her signature plain white tees, black jeans, working boot and it seems like she was just taking a break from doing something.

“Damnnnnn girl, she’s effin hot” Mercedes blurts out which receives cat calling from both genders in the room.

“I’d tap that” Quinn smiles, which receives glares from Rachel.

“Man, who wouldn’t?” Puck smugly added “So, what happen next?”

“We do what we do best, keep digging”

The renowned photographer scratches her head “Babe, I think I know who’s the-spawn-of-Satan”

Nicole who had her back turn against the flat screen answers “Who now?”

“The one that messes Jessie’s head”

“Who?” Nicole asks

“I think she’s one of my best maid”

“What??” Nicole clouded with confusion. “Which one?”

“Yuri Kwon”

Nicole tilt her head perplex. She didn’t recalled anyone by the name of Yuri Kwon. “Did I miss anyone?” she mutters under her breath.

Hyoyeon shook her head “You didn’t, she’s my new best maid, and she was the one who help me pick up all those suits”

“Huh… well, then, I’m looking forward to meeting her then” Nicole gives a genuine smile. “Well, I’m off to see Jill” the American girl got off of her stool and pecks her fiancé’s cheek.

“What? Why? I thought we’re over the flowers and such” Hyoyeon frowns.

“Yes, but, mom needs something from Jill, and she also needs my help with something which I don’t really have any idea of, so, see you in a while babe”

As the door slams shut, Hyoyeon’s face was beat up in crimson red.

“Oh, Jill, I’m seriously going to give you hell”

“The spotlight is chasing Yuri now” Jessica taps her chin. “I don’t think it’s a good thing for her part tho. Don’t you think so Christian?”

The designer shrugs “It’s quite bad for her private life, you should know”

“I feel bad”

“You should”

“Hey!” Jessica playfully hits the letter’s forearms “You are supposed to console me or something”

“Well, that’s the truth, what am I supposed to say? I seriously can’t believe that you didn’t even think of that”

Jessica pouts, sub-consciously tapping her iphone, calling a certain tan woman.

On the second rings, the family voice echoed on the other side of the line. Oh wait, scratch that, Yuri’s uneven breath more accurately. Jessica’s eyes widen, she gasp “damn! Don’t tell me you’re having ?! Sorry!”

Yuri on the other hand was entirely taken aback “What?! NO! What the hell Jung, I’m not!”

“Then, what the hell are you doing?”

Yuri takes a right turn at the corridor, going as fast her can, running up the staircases. The sounds of footsteps still trailing her from behind.

“, , ”

“Are you cursing me Kwon?? Swear to God, I’m going to…”

Before the famous model finishes her sentence, Yuri cuts her off “Babe! I’ll call you back, give me a few minutes kay? Bye!”

The endearing name calling didn’t go unnoticed by the designer who sitting dangerously close to Jessica.

“Already calling each other babe? Envy” Christian chuckles

“What…” Jessica was definitely dumbfounded “Nobody hangs up on Jessica Jung!”

Face palmed

***

Jane blinks rapidly as she listen to her friend ranting about her girlfriend… in Korea, which she didn’t have a clue what the letter was talking about. She only managed to catch the word, Yuri, bastard and somewhere along the line jerk soy sauce?

“Tiff, calm the f down,”

Tiffany groans in frustration. “Urgh!!”

“What’s with all the she bang??” Jane asks

Before she could abruptly explain the situation to her friend, Brian and Brittany pops out of nowhere with the bewildered look on their faces.

“Girls, have you heard the news about Jung Jessica?”   

The Korean American girl groans once again.

Three American look at her perplex, “Don’t tell me you have massive crush on Jung Jessica? Correct me if I’m wrong, but you do have a girlfriend right? Don’t tell me you cheating on her already?” Brian kink an eyebrow.

“Yes, I have a girlfriend whom I dearly adore, and No, I do not have a massive crush on Jessica Jung and No, I’m not cheating on her or even planning any two timing situation”.

“Ooohhh commited” three American unison cooed caused the letter to blush profusely.

“Loyal”

One unknown voice intrude their little session, causes all four of them to look at the entrance of the pantry.

The ever so suave rockstar gave an awkward smile “uh, sorry”

Brittany smiles, waving off the uneasiness “It’s fine, our Tiffany here is loyal as F, everybody knows that, coming from you, it just add on the statement”.

Taeyeon give a small smile.

“Okay, moving forward to the case of The Jessica Jung…” Brian trails

“Brian!”

“What???”

Tiffany, Jane and Brittany roll their eyes, disbelief that their friend, ignoring the fact that the ‘close friend’ of THE Jessica Jung was standing a few feet from them.

“Whaa…ohhhh” Brian eyes widen, it looks like they were about to pop out from their sockets. “We’re just going to… urm” the oh-so-not-masculine guy drags Brittany, whom had her hands on Jane out of the pantry, leaving both Korean American women awkwardly standing opposite each other.

“Coffee?” the red head offers the letter. She cursed herself under her breath for offering things at the letter.

“Thanks” Taeyeon smiles a little, didn’t have the heart to decline the offer since she dislike that particular beverage.

“So, when can we start?” Taeyeon asks, wanting to ease of the awkwardness.

“Oh, yah” Tiffany unlock her mini ipad, scrolling down her to-do-list. In the meantime, Taeyeon, stood closer to the letter. Screw that, she stood dangerously close whilst staring intently.

“You’re pretty”

Tiffany jumped slightly, realizing the whole ordeal “What the f! Don’t do that! What the h is wrong with you??”

The petite Rockstar smirk “Just so you know, I think you’re extremely gorgeous”

Tiffany’s face scrunches

**

It was late in the afternoon, Jessica laze around her apartment, wearing only her wife beater, and a short shorts. She was hungry and apparently there was nothing edible that can be found at the apartment.

“Shoot, I forgot to go for groceries shopping”

The doorbell chimes almost immediately.

Hmm… who could it be?

“Uh, Yuri??”

Yuri barge in, without saying anything.

“Yah! Yah! What do you think you’re doing??” Jessica followed the letter who’s walking towards the kitchen.

“I seriously hate your right now”

“What did I do??”

Yuri glares at the letter, making the model cowers just a little bit.

“I have been running for my life since this morning, I’m tired and I’m hungry”

“And that’s got to do with me becauseee??” Jessica asks

“Damn paparazzis trailing me from behind non-stop, asking me sorts of questions over and over again…. Arghh!!” Yuri groans “How do you deal with all of these?? They are driving me crazy”

Jessica shrugs “I lived with it for years, so”

The tan woman rubs her obviously tired face “I feel sorry for you tho, they’re just vicious, celebrities are just like a baby sheep just waiting to be gnaw alive”

“Eaten you mean?”

“No. no, gnaw, they don’t really eat you, they just taking a bite or just simply chew you for the sake of enjoying seeing you shrieking in pain”

“Horror isn’t the word to begin with your description of them…. But, it was pretty spot on I must say” Jessica chuckles.

Yuri smiles, and frowns almost immediately, “Hey! I’m supposed to be mad at you! Tell me again, why on earth do I even agree to all of these??”

“Well, aside from the fact that you are one of the causes that almost jeopardize my career?”

Yuri kink an eyebrow, “Oh, well, that is ASIDE from the fact that you have bad attitude and issues within?”

The supermodel gave her infamous glare which doesn’t really faze the archeologist anymore.

“Anyway, what are you doing here, and how on earth do you know my password??”

“Is that the real questions that you want to ask me? The real question is, what should you prepare for the Hunger ol Yul?”

“Unfortunately for you, I have nothing in my kitchen, and I’m hungry as well, and the same as you, I can’t really go out either since the paps is all over our story right now”

“And I was hoping to have a decent dinner,” Yuri rummage her bag pack and pulls out a familiar brown paper bag “better than this… This is the only thing that I managed to get since I’ve been running around town like a maniac. Do you want to share?”

 

***

“Double cheese burger has never taste so good” Jessica takes another chomp, savouring the half portion of their Brunch/dinner since the split it in half.

“I know right?” Yuri says “I never would thought you would said yes to this” waving the burger in her hand a little.

“Why?”

“Duh! Since you’re a supermodel? Models don’t eat…. Stuff like this”

“You’re being stereotyping again, you know people should stop all these nonsense thinking about models have to be skinny and they don’t eat”

“Well, you guys should stop portraying that models needs to be skinny to be pretty and starts telling people that being big aint ugly. It works both ways you know”

Jessica ponders for a sec “The blame is to be put in both ways then, models should stop being super thin and people should stop with their thought that skinny is the ultimate goal to be pretty”

“Right on, you should make a campaign…. You should call it… Loving the imperfections that you are”

Jessica was already grinning from ear to ear “That’s…. perfect. Maybe I should”.

Yuri smiles back “Hey, I’m sorry for all that I have done to you since the day we met, and especially the damage that I caused to your modelling career”

“I think I owe you a bigger apology. Sorry for ruining your date, your shirt, and a lot of other things”

Yuri chuckles, whilst Jessica was a little shy as she isn’t the type to apologize that often. Not that she’s a snob or anything.

Silence has taken over, as both women finishes their food in a comfortable silence.

“Damn it!”

Tiffany huffed in annoyance as she was unable to start the engine. It was past 930 in the evening. All sorts of cliché horror movie scenario runs through her head.

Car basement parking. Cliché.

The overwhelming silence. Cliché.

Victim were unable to start her damn car. Cliché.

The unknown killer or probably lurking around….. hope not.

Eyes widen at her own thought. She shudders. Contemplating to call her girlfriend. She wave off as she realized that her girlfriend is in a complicated situation with the media, and if they saw her wondering around, she might get attack by all the unwanted attention.

“Need help?”

Tiffany literally jumped at the sudden voice causes her elbow to hit the side mirror hard.

“WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH YOU??” Tiffany growls and glares at the petite girl

“F! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to”

“Don’t do that! You know what?, screw my last denial, you, are apparently the one that lurks around that scares the sh!t out of me”

Ignoring the perplex looks on the rockstar’s face, Tiffany continues to rubs her already bruises elbow.

Seeing the reddish colours appears on the pale skin, Taeyeon was struck with guilt.

“I’m seriously am sorry, I should have given any indication that I was around before barging onto you like that. My bad”.

“Forget it, I have better things to do right now”

“Just, let me help you, okay?” Taeyeon offers, obviously realizing that there’s something went wrong with the letter’s car.

Tiffany raises an eyebrow, looking at the petite woman from head to toe “Do you even know anything about car?”

Taeyeon smugs,

***

Tiffany was laughing, whilst the other woman was not the least amuse.

“Show me your smug face again, cause I could really use a good laugh right now”

“Shut up” Taeyeon spats, displease by the younger girl tease.

“Serves your right” Tiffany smirks.

Taeyeon shut the hood of the car,  “Urgh, I look all greasy, can you just help me wipe of my sweat please?”

‘And why would I do that?”

Taeyeon agape in disbelief “I can’t… urghh, hey, it’s the least you can do after i… tried to help you fixing this car, plus, who knows there are sparks between us?” The rockstar give a playful suggestive looks

Tiffany grimace, giving her a sarcastic smile “The only spark that you’ll get from me is when I tied you on a chair and start to electrocute you. ert”

“Violent much?” Taeyeon sniggers “Okay, okay, let me just give you a ride”

Tiffany eyed the woman in front of her, still considering whether she should or shouldn’t take the offer.

“No funny business, and no trick on my sleeve. It’s late, and calling Onstar is such a hassle at the moment, you can do it tomorrow.”

“Okay”

“Okay” The rockstar forms a genuine smile.
