Few hours after Jessica told Yuri the story about her mother,
Jessica had finally calmed down.

"Yuri, im sorry"
"I didnt mean to be so emotional over this.."
"I just.. couldnt control it.."
"I miss my mum.." said Jessica sadly

"I understand i understand" smiled Yuri
"Dont feel bad about it"
"So, does your dad knows about your condition though?"

"I dont know.."
"Maybe he does?"
"I think there are a few times where butler lee told him"
"But came back being scolded"
"I had no idea what went on then"
"Anyway, i've told you about my story"
"Your promise, remember?"

"Ah.."
"I think i did..?"

"Not you think"
"Is you did!"
"So now, lets go!" said Jessica as she pulled Yuri up towards the door.

"Where?"

"Somewhere to clear up everything" replied Jessica

In the hospital

"Why are we here?"

"Stop asking the obvious Yuri" said Jessica as she brought Yuri into a private ward.

There laid a familiar looking woman, reading a magazine.

"Anyeonghaeseyo Mrs Kwon" greeted Jessica happily

"Oh, its you Jessica"
"Anyeonghaeseyo!" greeted Mrs Kwon as she quickly put down her magazine

"How're you doing now Mrs Kwon?"

"Im doing well, thanks to a kind donor"
"I really wanted to know who donated it to me so i could thank that person for saving my life"
"But the doctor says the donor doesnt want me to know.." said Mrs Kwon sadly

"Well, it doesnt matter who donated it to you"
"What matters is, you're recovering well!"
"And, i've brought someone here to see you" winked Jessica as she pulled Yuri into Mrs Kwon's view.

"Yuri..?"

Yuri kept quiet but just rolled her eyes.

"Remember what did i say?"
"Im going to leave the both of you for some time alone"
"And Yul, im not letting you go if you didnt sort your feelings out with Mrs Kwon" warned Jessica before dashing out of the ward.

"Aish..!" grumbled Yuri as she plopped down onto the chair for visitors in the room.
".."
"What?" snapped Yuri after realising that Mrs Kwon was staring at her with those eyes that would make her shiver in disgust.

"Ani.."
"I was just.."
"Looking at you.."
"How much you've grown, how pretty you've gotten now" said Mrs Kwon, getting a little teary.

"Oh please~"
"Dont pretend that you love me so much"
"Just tell me frankly, you came back thinking i would donate my bone marrow for you right?"
"You planned everything out, telling Jessica everything thinking i would acknowledge you because you were dying right?" said Yuri sacarstically.

"No.."
"Really, i didnt plan anything"
"Everything just happened naturally.."
"Really.."
"I didnt expect Jessica to know about this.." replied Mrs Kwon sadly

"Yeah right"

"Really, Yuri what do you want me to do for you to forgive me?"
"Im really sorry for what i've done to you"
"Im really sorry, if you dont want to take over my company, its fine"
"I'll just manage it on my own&leave it under your name"
"I want to leave something for you, to make it up for you"

"Hahas?"
"Money again?"
"You're making up everything for me using money?"
"Wow, thats your so called love right?"
"I see, i understand it now"

"YURI!"
"BE NICE!" shouted Jessica over the door

"YAH!"
"SICA STOP EAVESDROPPING!" shouted Yuri back which got back a cute giggle from Jessica
"To tell you the truth, i wasnt expecting anyone to come back for me"
"I wasnt expecting you at all"
"I thought that i was abandoned all along&that no one wanted me"
"I lived with it for so long now that im used to it"
"Yeah, although sometimes when i saw how worried a mother can get when it comes to their own children's health&safety"
"How much a parent loved their child, i feel a little jealous"
"But thats fine because i've already have someone whom i love&love me"

"Im sorry to have you feel this way, Yuri"
"I really love you though.." whispered Mrs Kwon sadly to herself, barely audible for Yuri to hear.
"So, the person you love, is it Jessica?"

"Isnt it obvious?"
"Guilty huh?" spat Yuri sacarstically
"And oh yeah, you said you wanted to know who was your donor right?"
"This is gonna make you even guiltier"
"The person who donated her bone marrow to you was Sica¬ me"
"Shocked?"
"Did you know how much she went through to just donate her bone marrow to save you for me?"
"Did you?!" shouted Yuri as her feelings started to flow out

"I didnt know.."
"Im sorry.." sobbed Mrs Kwon

"You're sorry you're sorry you're sorry!"
"Is that all you can say to me?!"
"Is it?!"
"BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU!"
"I almost lost Sica!"
"You couldnt figure out how worried i was!"
"Did you know how i felt?!"
"I was even thinking if you're here for me or to take away my happiness from me!"
"Its okay, its fine with me for you not showing me the love i needed"
"But its really not okay for you to take my happiness away from me!" exclaimed Yuri as tears flowed freely down her cheeks

"Cheongmal bianeh Yuri.."
"I didnt know what went wrong for Jessica.." said Mrs Kwon

"Dont know?!"
"HAHA"
"What.a.joke." mocked Yuri bitterly
"Sica has a weak health, weak heart&could get any kinds of infection easily!"
"Even through minor colds!"
"What do you know then?!"
"Do you even know what i like, what i love or anything?!" said Yuri, continue digging into Mrs Kwon's guilt.

"I dont know.. anything.."
"But.. I'll start getting to know you from now on Yuri"
"I'll try my best, give you all the love you had missed when you were younger"
"Really" said Mrs Kwon as she went over to Yuri&hugged her.

Surprisingly, Yuri who was sobbing away didnt push Mrs Kwon away from her.
But instead, hugged her tightly in return.

"Omma.."
"I missed you.." sobbed Yuri
"Why.. why did you.. come back.. for me.. so late.."

"Cheongmal bianeh Yuri"
"Cheongmal cheongmal bianeh"
"Omma will make it up to you, everything" said Mrs Kwon, patting Yuri's back while tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks.

Outside the room

"ASSA!" cheered Jessica happily as she shot her hands up into the air
"They've patched up!"

Just then, Jessica's phone rang.

*PHONE CALL*

"Yoboseyo"

"Sooyeon!"
"Where are you now?!"
"Why are you not in your office?!"
"I demand you to come over now!" shouted Mr Jung over the phone

"Whats wrong, appa..?" replied Jessica softly

"Just come over now!" snapped Mr Jung impatiently over the phone before he ended the call.

*END OF PHONE CALL*

Jessica's POV

Sigh..
Something big is gonna happen again..
I guess..?

Nevermind, shall still prepare something for Yuri&her mum.

End of Jessica's POV

"Anyeonghaeseyo"
"This is Sashimi for the Hungry"
"How can i help you?"

"Oh, i wanna order delivery"
"Can you give me 2 person serving of Sashimi?"
"As fresh as possible, money isnt a problem"
"And from what i know, you all can charge through credit card right?"

"Yup done"
"So other than 2 person serving of the freshest sashimi"

"That should be all"

"Okay"
"Delivery address please?"

"Please delivery it to National Seoul University Hospital ward XXX"
"Thank you"

"No problem"
"Will get it delivery within 30 minutes"

"Alright"

*END OF PHONE CALL*

After travelling for what felt like an hour, Jessica had finally got back to her office.
Inside her office, was her dad, staring through the windows.

"Appa..?" called Jessica softly as Mr Jung turn around

"I heard you werent in office for two months"
"What were you trying to do to my business?!"
"Ruin it like how you killed your mum?!"

"Chosohamida appa.."
"I was sick.."

"Sick?!"
"Who were you trying to kid?"
"Sick for two months?!"
"HAHAHA" mocked Mr Jung sacarstically

"I was really.. sick.." whispered Jessica sadly to herself with her head down
"Why cant.. you just show.. a tint bit.. of care to me..?"

"Forget it!" snapped Mr Jung
"I've arranged you to meet Donghae, the son of the Lee holdings"
"And its in an hours time at XXX"
"So you should go now" said Mr Jung coldly

"Are you setting me up with him appa..?"
"I dont want to.."
"Please.." pleaded Jessica

"Its up to me to decide"
"Not you"
"So go now before i flare up" warned Mr Jung

"Araesso.." replied Jessica sadly as she slowly exited the room.

Jessica's POV

Arranged meeting..?
Will it soon be arranged marriage..?
If it happens that way, im going to make myself die.
Its easy, with my heart.
If i cant be with Yuri, i'll rather be dead.
Appa doesnt even love me at all when i love him wholeheartedly like a fool.
Even now..

End of Jessica's POV

Yuri's side

"Excuse me?"
"We didnt order anything" said Yuri who was at the door of the ward

"Oh?"
"But im sure someone ordered it"
"It has already been paid"
"So you can just take it" smiled the deliveryman as he passed the bags to Yuri

"Oh?"
"Okay then"
"Thanks"

After the deliveryman left, Yuri walked to Mrs Kwon's bedside with a puzzled look.

"Whats wrong Yuri?"

"Omma, there's lots of my favourite sashimi here"
"But i didnt order any" said Yuri while scratching her head

"Can it be Jessica?"
"Does she know that you love sashimi?"
"And where is she?"
"I thought she was outside?" asked Mrs Kwon

"Oh right"
"I totally forgot about her"
"She's no longer outside when i opened the door"
"I'll give her a call"

*PHONE CALL*

"Yuri-ah?"

"Sica! Did you order sashimi for me?"

"Yup i did"
"So how? Is it delicious?"

"Hahas, it just arrived"
"Thanks a lot!"
"Where are you?"
"Werent you outside my mum's ward?"

"Just arrived?"
"That guy told me in 30 minutes time.."
"Gosh i've been cheated"
"Well, i've received an emergency call from my dad an hour ago"
"And now, yeah i've something on"

"Did your dad ask you to do something thats harmful to your health?!" asked Yuri worriedly

"Ani.."
"I just got scolded for missing work for 2 months.."
"And now, going on to meet someone for him" lied Jessica

Jessica was lying partly.
Getting scolded was real, going to meet someone for her dad isnt really that truth.

"WHAT?!"
"How can he do that?!"
"You were sick&weak, to be exact bedridden 'cause you were too weak to even move!"

"Yeah right"
"Thats because of you"

"What?"
"Now its my fault again?"
"I was doing it because i was worried for you!"

"Araesso araesso"
"Go&have some bonding time with your mum"
"I'll be going off now"
"Saranghae"

"Saranghae"

*END OF PHONE CALL*

"Yuri?"
"Whats wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong omma"
"Sica had something on thats why she went off" explained Yuri
"Omma, you still want to hear about my stories?"

"Of course i want!"
"How i've been waiting for this day to come!"

"Well.." started Yuri as she picked up a piece of sashimi&put it into your mouth
"I lived in the orphanage till i was at the age of 7.."
"I was being spotted by Sica's dad at a swimming pool for my outstanding talent for swimming"
"He brought me to my dorm, gave me school etc while i win medals back for his company"
"In school, i met Sica"
"She was really cute&innocent then"
"At the age of 7, Sica had missed quite a lot of school for a period of time because she constantly had fevers that would never go off"
"Which was later diagnosed at rheumatic fever"
"The doctors had it diagnosed too late, so it had her heart damaged.."

"What about her parents?"
"Doesnt her parents take care of her?" asked Mrs Kwon curiously as she ate the sashimis

"Her mum left her due to.."
"An accident.."
"After that, her dad hated her&blamed her even more after her mum's death.."
"So basically, she grew up without any parents love"
"When she was sick at home, no one was there for her except the butler that brought her up"

"Oh, im so sorry Yuri"

"Its okay i guess"
"Im there for her now"
"To continue from where i've stopped"
"From the time she was diagnosed with it till the age of 22 now, she went through 2 major heart surgery already"
"But because she was constantly working, didnt get enough rest"
"She was never considered healthy.."
"I made a promise with her i'll study hard&become her personal doctor"
"Thats why i just came back from UK recently"

"I feel so sorry for her" said Mrs Kwon sadly as she shook her head slightly

"Sigh.."
"And she donated her bone marrow to you.."
"Because she thought i would need you.."
"I should cherish your love because she didnt get.." said Yuri slowly
"But omma, Sica donating her bone marrow to you was really dangerous for her then"
"She might catch an infection anytime"
"So during the past 2 months, i've been treating her, giving her treatments to prevent it from happening"
"It was really sad to see how weak she was then, crying to me every night to ask me stop everything.." said Yuri as a tear fell off her face.

"Im sorry Yuri"
"I didnt know i would have brought so much pain to Jessica"
"I didnt mean to.."

"I know.."
"You didnt even know it was her.."
"Then just now, her dad scolded her again for skipping work for 2 months&sending her to a meeting now"
"She've just completed her treatment 2 days ago.." added Yuri worriedly

"Her dad's really harsh on her.."

Jessica's side

"Anyeonghaeseyo"
"Lee Donghae imida" greeted a handsome young man with a flirty smirk on his face.

"Anyeonghaeseyo"
"Jessica Jung imida" replied Jessica as she took a seat infront of Donghae

"So, Jessica"
"Do you want to tell me about yourself?" winked Donghae flirtily
"You know, since we would be hanging out together oftenly now"

"No, not interested" replied Jessica coldly

"Really..?"
"Okay, i'll ask Mr Jung about you then"

"Go ahead"

"Awww.."
"Come on pretty, dont be so cold at me" said Donghae as he reaches out for Jessica's hands

"..."
"..."
"..."

"Pretty, lets go&watch some movie?" suggested Donghae
"Since you're so not into talking to me"

"If you have nothing important to say"
"Im leaving now" said Jessica coldly as she turned to leave.

Leaving Donghae behind, alone in the restaurant shocked.

Donghae's POV

Woah, i didnt know Mr Jung's daughter was like this.
Sigh, it must be hard for me from now on, to get near her.
Appa! Why did you assign me such a mission to get near Mr Jung's daughter for their company's money!
Im gonna have a hard time now!

End of Donghae's POV

Walking in the streets, Jessica was thinking about her life again.
She was thinking if her life was born to be a joke, to be played around like a puppetteer&puppet.
Looks like the only thing god did that was fair to Jessica was giving Yuri to her.
But now, does it look like she's going to lose Yuri soon?

Jung's mansion

Dragging her feet back to the mansion, into her room.
Jessica was physically&emotionally exhausted, after all the stress coming from her dad&herself.
Plopping herself onto the bed, Yuri came walking in happily&plopped down on Jessica's bed.

"Hello babe!"
"Had fun today?" asked Yuri happily

"Fun?"
"What kind of fun are you expecting?" sighed Jessica
"There's no fun at all, forever"

"Whats wrong Sica?"
"Are you sick or anything?"
"Why do you sound so tired,sad&depressed?" asked Yuri worriedly

"Ani.."
"Dont worry"
"Im just tired"
"Yuri-ah, let me go to bed already okay?" pouted Jessica slightly

"Araesso araesso"
"Remember to take your medicine before sleeping okay?" smiled Yuri as she ruffled Jessica's hair.

"Okay"
"Saranghae"
"Goodnights" said Jessica before Yuri left the room

"Same here"
"Saranghae" replied Yuri as she playfully throw Jessica a flying kiss from the door which gain a cute chuckle from Jessica.

"Thanks Yul" whispered Jessica softly
"Always cheering me up"

*PHONE CALL*

"Yoboseyo"

"JESSICA JUNG!"
"HOW DARE YOU OFFEND THE SON OF LEE HOLDINGS?!"
"HE CALLED ME&TOLD ME THAT YOU DONT WANT TO TELL HIM ANYTHING OR GO OUT WITH HIM!"
"HOW COULD YOU THROW MY FACE LIKE THIS?!"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WILL THINK OF ME IF THIS NEWS SPREADS TO OTHER PEOPLE'S EARS?!"

"Chosonghamida appa.."
"Can we not talk about it now..?"
"Im tired.."

"FORGET IT!"
"DONT APOLOGISE WHEN YOU DONT EVEN MEAN IT!"
"AND DONT TELL ME WHAT TIRED OR WHATSOEVER!"
"WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE I SLEPT FOR ONLY 2-3HOURS PER DAY WITHOUT EVEN UTTER A SINGLE WORD OF TIRED!"
"I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANY OF SUCH RUBBISH ANYMORE! YOU HEAR ME?!"

"Neh appa.."

*END OF PHONE CALL*

Jessica's POV

Damn that Donghae..
He really called appa&complained to him..
Really hate him..
But if i dont listen to him, appa will scold me even more..
Sigh..

End of Jessica's POV

Jessica then fell into deep slumber minutes right after she ended the call with her dad.
Yeah, it really showed that Jessica was really exhausted both physically&mentally.
While Jessica was asleep, Yuri who walked past her room found Jessica's room door not closed,
lights not off, she walked into Jessica's room but giggled at the sight of Jessica who was sleeping with one of her arms above her head.

"Sica's sleeping habits are real cute" chuckled Yuri as she helped Jessica to pull up her covers.
"Sleep tight baby" smiled Yuri as she off the lights&exited the door.
