After their dinner Dong Sun and Jessica finally reached the airport. Dong Sun parked and got down to take out Jessica’s lugguage—he was still quiet,talking only when necessary. Jessica slowly got down,her heart heavy with Dong Sun’s behavior. Dong Sun pulled out the lugguages and looked at Jessica.

“Watch over them. I’ll get the trolley” he said not looking at her.

“Hmm” Jessica whispered and as Dong Sun ran towards the spot where all the trolleys were kept Jessica’s eyes followed him.

Dong Sun got all Jessica’s lugguage onto the trolley and finally it was time to bid farewell.

“Umm what time was your flight again?” Dong Sun cleared his throat and asked,looking at everywhere but into Jessica’s eyes

Jessica on the other hand had her eyes fixed on his—her stare soft and warm. “Eight-thirty” she said softly observing Dong Sun fidget with his fingers and trying hard not to look at her. She understood however why he was behaving that way. Oh my dear Dongie…drop your mask already will you?

“Ah!” Dong Sun raised his wrist up to look at his watch. The clock showed 7:00 though Dong Sun was well aware of the time…he was just trying to indulge in some conversation with Jessica. He didn’t want her to leave but he couldn’t say that out loud too.

“I should go in. The security checking will be starting soon”

“Hmm yea you should.” Dong Sun gulped. His eyes flew from the ground to the airport parking,airport entrance,trolley station—everywhere apart from Jessica. He just couldn’t look at her,as Jessica’s departure neared he was finding it more difficult to keep his emotions in check and one look into those beautiful black eyes of Jessica would crumble down his composure,Dong Sun knew. “Well okay then off you go. Have a safe journey. Don’t get nervous at the court—“

Dong Sun silenced as Jessica engulfed him in her warm embrace. Dong Sun hands remained on his sides as Jessica tightened her arms around him. All the emotions in Dong Sun’s heart formed a twister turning his entire body numb. Finally he managed to raise his arms and wound themselves around Jessica. He bent his head burying it in her hair and inhaled deeply. Then suddenly Jessica released him ,much to Dong Sun’s disappointment.

“Bye Dongie. Take care.” Jessica said softly and grabbed her lugguage and proceeded towards the airport entrance. Dong Sun was left there standing,totally bewildered,feeling an undefinable emptiness.

After dropping Somin Jihoo went back home. As he entered an agonized Haera stormed at him

“How could you humiliate me like that infront of her? You’re my brother and you’re siding with her!!!”

“Haera go to your room” Jihoo said in a low exasperated tone

“No I wont! I want an explanation!”

“Go to your room” Jihoo repeated,this time abit louder

Haera looked at her brother in total shock and finally went into her room banging the door shut behind her. Jihoo ran his hand through his hair in exasperation and went into his room too.

Locking the door behind him he sat on his bed and let out a heavy sigh. Somin’s beautiful face flashed across his eyes and a sweet smile automatically formed across his face then he remembered Haera and Somin shedding tears for Hyunjoong and the smile vanished. His body dropped on the bed as the reality of his distressed situation dawned upon him. Suddenly he felt his phone vibrate in his pant pocket. He sat up and took out his phone

‘If you love Somin, tell her. –Jessica’    

Jihoo sighed and flipped his phone shut.

DING DONG

A man in his seventies rose up from his couch and went ahead to open the door.

“Mr. Lee” the visitor bowed

“Woobin” Mr.Lee nodded and let Woobin enter

“It’s late. I hope this is important” Mr Lee locked the door and slowly walked back to his couch placed at the centre of his lavish mansion’s living room. Woobin stood before him with his head bowed

“I’m sorry to disturb you sir, but there’s something I needed to show you” Woobin replied,his head still slightly bowed

Mr.Lee closed his eyes in irritation and sighed.”Go on. Make it fast”

Woobin gulped and finally gathering all his courage he reported“They are back sir. . .SS501 is back”
