Bright rays of light were shinning onto the unconscious tan figure,
lying limplessly on the silky bed.
As the bright white light constantly shined into the unconscious tan figure,
she slowly fluttered her eyes open to find herself in a total new unfamiliar surrounding.

Sitting up on the bed,
Yuri spotted a familiar figure that was sitting by the vanity,
playing with the figurines on the vanity.

"Sooyoung..?" called Yuri as she scratched her head confusedly.

Sooyoung didnt bother to turn around.

"Since you're up"
"I'll get going"
"I've left an address here, find us if you want"
"If not, head back to your damn castle" said Sooyoung coldly as she stood up from the vanity,
walked towards the door.

"Hey wait!"

Sooyoung stopped in her steps and frowned.
Silently cussing inside her why Yuri had so much problems.

"Where is Yeonjung..?"

This question made Sooyoung's blood boiled.

"Yeonjung?!"
"You dare to ask about her?!"
"She was the first person who came into your god-damn messed up mind?!"
"You totally forgotten about Jessica, did you?!"
"You didnt even know, didnt even know what she had done for you!"

Yuri frowned.

"Did she kill her..?" asked Yuri worriedly.

"Shut the hell up Yuri"
"I really hate you"
"Im leaving!" exasperated Sooyoung as she left the room in a rush as she was worried for Jessica's condition.

"Sweetie.."
"How are you feeling now..?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly as she brushed Jessica's fringe aside.

Jessica was relying on oxygen mask now,
with a lot of medical supplies and wires attached to her.

Jessica smiled as she gave Mrs Jung's hands a light squeeze.

"Dont worry.."

"How could i not..?"
"What happened sweetie?"

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

"You have to tell me sweetie"
"I cant help you like this"
"I cant figure out why your body isnt repairing on their own!"

Jessica was shocked upon hearing this news.
She thought for a moment,
recalled the whole lot of dramas back then.

What made the situation worse was that Hwangyoung sped towards Jessica's side,
stabbed the syringe straight into Jessica's neck and released the colourless liquid.

"Hwangyoung.. she stabbed something.."
"Into my neck.. released.. liquid.."

Mrs Jung gasped as Mr Jung entered the room.
Turning to Mr Jung, Mrs Jung spoke.

"We need to get the physician from the realm to check her up"
"Something's not right dear"
"Her body isnt recuperating like it should be"

Mr Jung looked alarmed but nodded as he exited the room.

"Sweetie, tell me how are you feeling now?"

Jessica slowly sat up from her bed as she took the oxygen mask off her face.

"I want a honest answer sweetie" said Mrs Jung in a stern motherly tone.

Jessica sighed softly.

"Other than feeling.. lethargic and weak.."
"Im fine.."
"And i think.. im running a fever.."

Mrs Jung watched the pale latter speak as her heart ached.

"You are sweetie"
"You've been running a fever ever since you're back"
"And-"

"Its even before she's back" interupted a familiar voice as a tall figure entered the room.

Jessica mentally rolled her eyes since she wasnt that fit enough physically.

"Sooyoung, you're here"

Sooyoung nodded with a thankful smile as she settled beside Jessica,
holding onto her warm hands.
Mrs Jung then silently left the room for the two to talk.

"Where did you promise go to?"
"Honeystar, your promises werent legit at all"
"Not even once, did you know that?"

Jessica scoffed weakly.

"Im here, still.."
"Arent I..?"

"Its different"
"You said you would return safely"
"But where is the safely honeystar?"

Jessica knew Sooyoung was worried about her.
But there was nothing that could be done.

"How.. is Yuri..?" asked Jessica as she averted Sooyoung's gaze.

Sooyoung sighed.

"She's fine" replied Sooyoung coldly.

"Did she.. ask.. about me..?"

Sooyoung hesistated for a moment before shaking her head sadly.
Jessica nodded.

"I knew it.."
"I wasnt.. in her heart.."
"Despite going.. through so much.. for her.." said Jessica sadly as a tear fell off her face,
but got caught by Sooyoung.

"I told you"
"Im still here honeystar"
"Im sitting right here for you, have you ever tried taking a look at me?"
"A look at how much i love you?"

Jessica coughed.
A knock on the door was heard and Mrs Jung came into the room with a metallic tin box.
Jessica sighed softly.

"Omma.."

"Sweetie"
"Its just awhile.."
"I know you dont like it but-"

"It doesnt make.. me feel any better.."
"Really.."

"It doesnt aim to make you feel better but it is to keep track of your blood readings"
"I've taken one when you were asleep"
"Your blood level didnt at all increase.."
"Im here to try again.." said Mrs Jung as she sat down beside Jessica and peeled the initial plaster that was sticked onto Jessica's forearm.

Sooyoung watched as her heart ached for Jessica.

"Please..?"

Mrs Jung ignored Jessica as she tied the rubber tubing around Jessica's arms and gave it a light pat.
Right after that, Mrs Jung inserted the needle straight into Jessica's arms which made her let out a painful wince.
Jessica watched as Mrs Jung took the blood from her arms.
It was the 2nd time of the 4 tubes of that day.

Sooyoung watched as Mrs Jung took tubes of blood from Jessica's fragile arms.
Her heart couldnt help but sank further.
Collecting a total of 4 tubes of blood,
Mrs Jung took the needle out and placed the plaster back over Jessica's forearm and left the room with the 4 tubes of blood.

"Honeystar.."
"Are you hurting, like still..?"

Jessica brought up her infused hands and wiped the tears off her face and smiled to Sooyoung.

"Dont worry.."
"Its just the 8th tube of blood.. my mum took today.." said Jessica sacarstically as she glanced at her plastered hand.

A tear escaped Sooyoung's eyes,
from her broken heart.
Sitting on Jessica's bed,
Sooyoung pulled Jessica up into a warm embrace.

"I believe you'll be well again honeystars"
"You will"

Behind the door, was Yuri.
She overheard the whole conversation.
Yuri could not deny that she was concerned about Jessica.
But now, she could not bring herself to do it.
Because inside her, she assumed that Jessica took Yeonjung away from her.

Suddenly, the door flung opened harshly,
revealing an angry yet familiar person Jessica's been longing to see.
But not with that furious facial expression.

"Yul..?"
"What brings.. you here..?"

Yuri rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"You've taken Yeonjung, havent you?!"
"Give her back to me!"

Jessica's expression dropped.
Clearly stating that she was disappointed.
She thought Yuri would at least,
at least ask her about her wellbeing.
Not a single bit of concern were seen from Yuri made Jessica's heart shatter,
almost immediately.

"She dont bel-"

"Stop saying she doesnt belong here!"
"She belongs with me1" demanded Yuri angrily as her face were flushed red.

Sooyoung gritted her teeth in anger,
fist clenched up tightly.

""Yul.."
"Listen-"

"Shut up!"
"You're such a great liar!"
"Its fine if you lied to me, but who are you to take Yeonjung away from me?!"

Sooyoung growled as if she was ready to pounce onto Yuri anytime soon.
Jessica was holding onto Sooyoung's hands tightly.

Jessica's expression turned cold.

"Yeah.."
"I brought her.. away from you.."
"I was jealous.."
"Happy..?"

"I KNEW IT!"
"I KNEW YOU WERE JEALOUS BECAUSE IM WITH HER AND NOT YOU!" exploded Yuri loduly.

Seconds later,
Yoona came barging into the room and throwing Yuri onto the wall angrily,
followed by Taeyeon.

"What do you think you're saying?!" scolded Taeyeon angrily as she pinned Yuri up against the wall.

Yuri rolled her eyes.

"You're so blind!"
"Hwangyoung and Yeonjung!"
"They're the villians!"

"As if!"
"Everything was done by Hwangyoung and not Yeonjung"
"Stop mixing Yeonjung with your Hwangyoung!"

Taeyeon's eyes grew wider in anger.

"STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF YURI!"
"WAKE UP!"
"If you're going to continue this way, you'll lost everyone around you!"

Yuri pushed Taeyeon away roughly.
Thank goodness Tiffany was there to catch her.

"You guys dont understand how i feel!"
"Wake up to the feeling of losing the one i love!"

"YAH KIM YURI!"
"I DO OKAY I DO!"
"I UNDERSTAND IT MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE!" interupted Tiffany angrily.
"Dont, just dont claim that no one understood how you felt"

That particular moment,
the words that just came out of Tiffany's mouth made Taeyeon felt a strong gush of guiltiness coming over her.

Taeyeon's POV

It must be me..
It must be me to make her feel this way..

Babydolls..
Im so sorry for what i've done..
Will you,
will you forgive me..?

End of Taeyeon's POV


Just then,
Mr Jung entered the room with a displease look.
Behind him,
was a few weird dressed up old man with a brown shoulder leather bag over their shoulder each.

"Get out" said Mr Jung codly.

Supposed so that Mr Jung had heard everything outside the room.

The rest nodded except for Yuri.
She didnt budge.
She wants to know where was Yeonjung.

"Get.Out." demanded Mr Jung again,
this time with authority and aura as a strong gush of wind surrounded Yuri.

Unable to go against such a strong force,
Yuri reluctantly went out of the room and closed the door.

Mr Jung walked over to Jessica with a worried frown.

"Sooyeon, how are you feeling now?"
"Appa brought the physician from the realm to come examine you"

Jessica sighed tiredly with a nod.
She knew more or less that all these were expected.
Mr Jung turned to the physicians and nodded to them.
The physicians took their place as they took the pulse of Jessica's,
silently and carefully deducting their diagnosis.

Minutes later,
Jessica heard the physicians sighed a little and shook their head lightly.

"My Prince"
"Princess Sooyeon's condition is a little complicated here"
"We suspect that her angel's DNA has been either destroyed or blocked"
"Which explains her failed recovery"

"How can it be destroyed or blocked?" asked Mr Jung with a frown.

The physicians shrugged.

"Is there any way to know if its destroyed or blocked?"

The physicians then nodded.

"We have to extract the DNA from her spinal cord"
"And bring it back for tests" said the physicians in unison.

"In that case, can you do it now?"

Jessica's heart cringed as she listened to the conversation Mr Jung is having with the physicians
With a nod, the physicians got the equipment out from their leather bag and placed it by the side of Jessica's bed.

"Princess Sooyeon"
"We need you to turn over and lie flat on your stomach''

Jessica looked at them uncomfortabingly before turning to Mr Jung.
Mr Jung smiled as he held onto Jessica's hands.

"Appa's here"
"Dont worry, nothing's gonna happen to you alright?"

Jessica nodded doubtingly as she did as told.
Lying flat on her stomach,
Jessica felt a tingling sensation on her back.
Before anything,
she felt a sharp prick.

It deepened and deepened.
Instead of it being pushed in manually,
the needle itself grew longer into her spine which made Jessica cried in pain.

"Appa.."
"It hurts.." cried Jessica as she tightened her grip around Mr Jung's hands.
"Please.."
"Appa.."
"Jebal.."

"Sooyeon, just awhile more" said Mr Jung as he watched the physicians getting tubes of the DNA from Jessica's back.

"Why.."
"Why are you all doing.. this to me..?" sobbed Jessica in tears.

Jessica was too weak to move,
but it hurts to much yet she couldnt even find the strength to move.

Mr Jung brushed Jessica's hair as he gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Appa's here"
"Appa loves you but appa doesnt want to see you suffer Sooyeon"
"Just bear with appa for awhile alright?"

"Appa.."
"I..-"
"AHHH!!"
"APPA!!!" shrieked Jessica in pain as the needle stuck straight and deep into her bone.
"APPA!!!"
"JEBALL!!"

"Princess Sooyeon"
"This is the last extraction"
"You'll feel a little more pressure as we extract the last level of DNA out" infromed the physicians as they got the syringe connected to the needle and started to slowly pump the DNA out which made Jessica cried even more.

"APPA!!"
"OMMMAAA!!!"
"AAAHHHH!!!!!"
"JEBALLL!"
"STOP!!!" begged Jessica as tears trickled down her face.

A minute later,
the physicians threw Mr Jung a smile.

"We're done"
"We'll back soon from our tests"

"Thank you for your hard work" said Mr Jung gratefully as he gave them a polite handshake.

"No problem"
"Its our duty"

After the physicians left,
Mr Jung settled beside Jessica as he helped her turned around.
Mrs Jung came in and joined Mr Jung by his side.

Caressing their daughter's pale,
pained stricken face,
they let a tear trickled down their faces.

"Appa and omma's so sorry for not being able to do anything for you Sooyeon.."
"We wish were the one going through all these.."

"Sweetie.."
"Please stop crying, stop tearing up"
"Omma's heart really broke when you're like this.."

Jessica smiled weakly.

"Its okay.."
"Dont have to worry.."
"Im not hurting at all.."

"Arasso.."
"Omma and appa knows you're strong, right?" said Mrs Jung with a forced smile.

Jessica nodded weakly as her hands reached out to touch the faces of her parents,
the loving and concerned parents she have by her side.

Few hours later,
Mr and Mrs Jung was discussing about Jessica's condition in her room while Jessica's fast asleep.

"Dear"
"Her blood level isnt increasing.."
"Its like her bone marrow kinda seemed to malfunction again.."
"But i dont understand how can it be.."

Mr Jung sighed as he shook his head sadly.

"Everything has a reason dear"
"Its happening this way because her special DNA has been blocked by a certain unknown substance"
"The physicians are still working their way out to help get rid of the unknown substance"
"Sooyeon have yet to recover from leukemia when she had the change"
"The change only joined the malfunctioned bone marrow to start working"
"Now that the DNA is being blocked out from her body, it makes full sense that her bone marrow malfunctioned again"
"Much less to talk about the recovery speed" explained Mr Jung as sorrow was written all over his face.

Mrs Jung's mouth dropped open in shock.

"How could we.. make her go through those pain again..?" said Mrs Jung as her voice trembled in fear.
"I cant bring myself to.."

"We have to bring her back to the hospital to receive the treatment first dear"
"Its the only way to make her live before the physicians come up with the cure"

Mrs Jung stood there as tears flowed down her face.
Mr Jung went over and put his hand on Mrs Jung's shoulders encouragingly.

"Sooyeon will be alright"
"Im sure" said Mr Jung with a forceful smile as he slowly picked Jessica up in his hands.
"Lets bring her to the hospital now, shall me?"

Mrs Jung watched with sadness filled eyes and nodded in the end.
Following Mr Jung behind,
Mrs Jung was blaming inside herself.
Blaming how dumb her daughter could have gotten.

Mrs Jung's POV

How could you be so silly and foolish sweetie..?
How could you have taken the blow for Taeyeon..
Taeyeon could have recovered but you..
Look at you now..

Your worst nightmare came back, did you even know?
Why do you have to fall in love with someone who've hurt you so much?
Sweetie, why?

Omma's heart is breaking inside out because of you suffering in silence.
Waking up with a forceful fake smile but deep inside,
omma knows that you're hurt,
physically and emotionally.

End of Mrs Jung's POV

On the way to the hospital,
Jessica started to regain consciousness.
But this time round,
she had fear in her eyes.

"Omma.."

"You're up sweetie?"
"Whats wrong?"

"Where are.. we going..?"

Mrs Jung hesistated for a moment when Mr Jung butted in.

"Sooyeon, we're going to the hospital" replied Mr Jung bluntly as he continued driving.

"Hos..pi..tal..?" repeated Jessica in fear.

Ever since being diagnosed with leukemia and being treated there,
Jessica had this phobia of going to the hospital.
She thought with the change,
hospital would never be the need for her anymore anytime in the near future or the long run.

Mrs Jung held onto Jessica's hands tightly,
gently giving it a light pat.

"Omma and appa will be here with you this time round"
"Dont be afraid okay?"

"Why..?"

Mrs Jung frowned.

"Tell.. me please..?"

Mrs Jung sighed softly.

"Sweetie"
"The physicians said there is an unknown substance in your body that is blocking your special DNA out"
"Remember that you were diagnosed with leukemia back then?"
"You didnt recover but took the change?"
"The DNA acts like a bridge to joined up your malfunctioned bone marrow so that it will start working again"
"But now, the DNA has been block and your bone marrow has been broken up again"
"So in simpler terms, from what appa and I have concluded"
"Your leukemia.. its back.."

Jessica's eyes turned teary.

"Omma.."
"Mianeh.."

"Why are you apologising, sweetie?"
"Its not your fault"

"It is.."
"Its my fault.."
"I've taken things for granted.."
"I should have thought.. about you and appa.."
"Before sacrificng myself.."

Mrs Jung smiled.

"Silly girl"
"Omma and appa is really glad that you've grown to be a selfless person"
"We're proud of it" lied Mrs Jung as her heart ache a little.

To be honest,
Mrs Jung is definitely proud for her daughter to be selfless.
But at times like these,
instead,
she hope that Jessica could at least put herself in the first place.

Just then,
the car came to a stop and Mr Jung silently exited the car and came over to the back seat.
Opening the door,
Mr Jung bent over and carried Jessica out in his arms.

"Appa.."
"I can walk on.. my own.." said Jessica slowly as her face was flushed red.

Jessica was kinda embarrassed for being carried by Mr Jung like this.
Not forgetting the number of eyes staring at the family of three.
Entering the hospital's A&E department,
doctors started coming over to the Jungs.

"Anyeonghaseyo Mr, Mrs Jung and Jessica-sshi" greeted the doctors respectfully with a 90degrees bow.

Nurses came over with a bed and Mr Jung laid her down with a concerned look.

"Appa and omma will be here outside waiting for you okay?"
"Our Sooyeon is the strongest right?" cooed Mr Jung lovingly as he gave Jessica a peck on the forehead.

With that,
the doctors pushed Jessica into the emergency unit for examination.

An hour later,
the doctors came out with a worried frown.

"How is she?" asked Mrs Jung coldly.

"Mr and Mrs Jung"
"Months ago, Jessica-sshi were diagnosed with leukemia"
"But after her first chemotheraphy, she went missing"
"And none of you were contactable"

"Something cropped up" lied Mr Jung with a stern expression.

"Ah yes"
"But now her condition seemed to have worsened completely"
"We need to get the latest report by having her to go through the biopsy, aspiration and lumbar puncture"
"Im sure Mrs Jung knows the drill for cases like these right?" said the doctors with a kind smile.

Mrs Jung nodded sadly.
She couldnt bring herself to see her beloved only daughter going through those kind of pain yet again.

"When will she be receiving the tests?"

"As fast as possible because things like these cannot be dragged"
"It will definitely delay her treatment and progress"

Mrs Jung nodded.

"How about now?" suggested the doctors.
"We're sort of on our break now so we're able to do it for her"

"If thats the case, alright"
"I'll see you all in the room?" said Mrs Jung as worries were written all over her face.

The doctors nodded with a smile before turning their back and walking off.
Mrs Jung started walking towards the discussed destination but was pulled back by Mr Jung.

"What are those tests dear?"

"Those are tests to diagnose the actual exact condition of a leukemia patient"
"Sooyeon has to go through it before being given any kind of treatment"
"Do you wanna come with me dear?"

"But can i?"

Mrs Jung nodded with an assuringly smile.

"Their usual practice can only have a guardian with the patient"
"But im sure they will allow the both of us" replied Mrs Jung as she held onto Mr Jung's hands and headed off to the discussed venue.

"I love you dear" whispered Mr Jung suddenly.

But Mrs Jung could hear the insecurity in his voice.

"I love you too" said Mrs Jung with a forced smile as they entered the doctors' office.
"Can you let my husband and i to be Jessica?"

The doctors nodded.

"Of course"
"We understand how you're feeling now"
"You two should definitely be here for Jessica-sshi" said the doctors understandingly.

As the doctors were preparing for the test,
the door suddenly shot open and Jessica was being pushed in on a wheelchair.

"Appa..?"
"Omma..?" called Jessica as she was being helped onto the bed in the office.

"Sweetie"
"Are you feeling better now?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly as she went over to Jessica.

Jessica nodded weakly.

"Jessica-sshi"
"We're going to brief on the reason you're here"
"Before proceeding with anything"
"We've gotten the approval from your parents to have you going through these upcoming tests"

Mr and Mrs Jung both gave Jessica a light encouraging squeeze in her hands.
Jessica looked confused.

"You were initially diagnosed with leukemia but went missing after your first chemotheraphy"
"Now that you're back, your condition seemed to have worsen completely"
"Your parents and us decided to not delay the treatment further"

Jessica's heart was thumping really fast then.

"We'll have to come up with a treatment plan for you"
"But before that, we'll have you to take these three tests - biopsy, aspiration and lumbar puncture"

Jessica immediately turned to Mr and Mrs Jung in tears.
Pleading tears.

"Omma.. appa.."
"I'll stay here.. for any treatment.. you all want me to.. go for.."
"But please.. not this.." sobbed Jessica as she held onto Mr and Mrs Jung's hands.

"Sweetie.."
"Omma and appa will be here with you throughout the tests"
"You'll be fine"
"Alright?"
"These doctors here are professional, they wont hurt you"

"No.."
"It hurts.."
"It hurts a lot.."

The doctors smiled awkwardly.

"I think Jessica-sshi is being traumatised after her first test with our new graduated intern the other time round"
"This time round will be better, Jessica-sshi" said the doctors encouragingly.

"Omma.."

Jessica's voice trembled in fear.

"Come on sweetie"
"Omma will promise you anything after this okay?" cooed Mrs Jung as she helped Jessica into the position for her lumbar puncture.

Mr Jung was holding onto Jessica's hands tightly,
not wanting to let it go at any point of time.

"Doctors, you can proceed now" said Mrs Jung as she gave the doctors a cue before settling beside Jessica,
bringing Jessica to an embrace.

"Omma.."
"Im afraid.."
"It hur-"

Jessica bit her lips as her grip around Mr Jung's hands tightened,
knuckles had even turned white.

"Awhile, sweetie"
"Its just awhile" hushed Mrs Jung as she felt a small wet spot on her top.

5 minutes later,
the doctors was done with the first test as they cleared the equipment up,
to prepare for the second test while Mrs Jung helped Jessica to lie back flat on her stomach.
The nurses then surrounded Jessica as she hung up bags of solution to Jessica's infus.
Anaesthetic, blood platelets etc etc.

"Sweetie, are you okay?"
"Do you feel unwell?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly as she watched the pale latter breathe heavily with beads of perspiration down her forehead.

Jessica shook her head tiredly.
As Mrs Jung was wiping the perspiration off Jessica,
the doctors came back with another set of equipments.

Settling the stuff down,
Jessica felt a cold tingling sensation on her back.
Before she could utter a single word,
pain was all she felt as the doctor inserted the needle straight into her back.

"Om..maa.."
"Pain.."
"Ma..ni.. apa.." gasped Jessica as tears flowed down her face like a river.
"Please.."
"Stop.."

Jessica couldnt move because Mr and Mrs Jung was holding onto her firmly and given her current strength,
its totally an infutile struggle if she were to struggle.

"Sweetie.."
"Its gonna be done soon.." coaxed Mrs Jung lovingly as she caressed Jessica's hair.
"You're gonna be fine"
"Omma promise you"

The doctors got the needle into her back and started extracting the bone marrow from it.
Pulling it out, putting it in for continously 20 minutues.

Mr Jung on the other hand,
his heart shattered at the scene.
His daughter actually went through this with a far way worst doctor without them by her side for the first time.
He couldnt imagine how painful it was for Jessica to have gone through this.

Next,
the doctors went away for a few minutes and came back with their last set of equipments.
Settling it down with a soft sigh.
they spoke.

"Jessica-sshi"
"You're doing really well now, its your last test now"
"Please dont move for this okay?"
"We're afraid to hurt you in the progress if you move"

Mr Jung turned to Jessica with a concerned look.

"Sooyeon, you heard the doctors right?"
"Dont move okay?"
"Its gonna be done real soon"
"Appa's here for you"
"Omma too"

"Appa.. Omma.."
"Can i go.. home..?"
"Its too painful.." sobbed Jessica in her fear stricken face.

"No sweetie"
"You cant, omma wont let you go home" said Mrs Jung firmly.
"Doctors, go on with the last test"
"We'll hold onto her tightly so she doesnt move" added Mrs Jung assuringly.

With a nod, the doctors started.
The doctors first started by getting the a special looking tool pushed straight into Jessica's pelvic bone.
That was all,
the worst part came when the doctors twisted the tool to get it into Jessica's pelvic bone further.

"Nononononono!" cried Jessica in pain as she thrashed her hands around the bed.
"Pleasepleasepleaseplease!"

"Its going to be fine Jessica-shi"
"Just a little bit more" said the doctors as they applied more pressure onto the tool,
pushing and twisting the tool into the pelvic bone.

"NOOOO!"
"OMMAAAA!!!!"
"PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!"
"JEBAL!!"
"STOP!!!" cried Jessica in pain as the doctors pushed the tool further in before extracting the last set of bone marrow from it.

After the doctors were done,
Mrs Jung couldnt take it anymore as she rushed out of the room,
leaving Jessica back in the office alone while Mr Jung went out with Mrs Jung.
Outside the office,
Mrs Jung's face were filled with tears.

Taeyeon threw Yuri onto the huge wide yard in the Jung's mansion.

"What do you want Yul?!"
"What do you want us to do to make you realise what you're doing is wrong now?!"

Sooyoung was standing by the side,
holding onto her urge to dash forward and snap Yuri's neck.

Yuri knelt down onto the ground,
this time round,
in tears.

"Tae.."
"Yeonjung.. I just wanted to know if shes fine.."
"Why cant you all understand me..?"

"Whats there to know if they are fine or not when they've caused us this much trouble!" challenged Taeyeon angrily.

"Yeonjung..""
She told me before if anything were to happen"
"It isnt on her own will"
"I promised to believe her that she has got her own reasons" cried Yuri sadly.

Heavy footsteps were then heard,
approaching Yuri.

"Yeonjung wants us to pass a letter to do" interupted a voice as he walked over and threw a white envelope to Yuri.

Picking it up,
Yuri hastily opened it up.

Yul..
Probably im not even fit to be calling you by your name.
But for the last time,
let me do it.

Im sorry for what i've done.
Im sorry for hurting you and the people around me.
I've promised Hwangyoung to help her once when i owed my life to her.
I couldnt break my promise.
I had to help.

Im regretful when it turns out that so much trouble had been given to you.
Now,
im leaving with Hwangyoung.
The verdict has yet to be released as the ruler of the angels realm will be discussing with the underworld's afterlife's ruler.
But dont worry,
we wont be killed or whatsoever because the afterlife's ruler loved us like we're their daughter.

Farewell now, Yul.
And again, im sorry.

Tears were falling off Yuri's face even more after reading the letter given by Donghae.
Donghae rolled his eyes.

"There's still something i wanted to show you" added Donghae coldly as he brought out the crystal orb in his hands.

Within seconds,
images started filling the orb.

"I think i've done it right Hwangyoung"
"Yuri believed what i've showed her"
"Its going well, right?"

"I assume it is?"
"Your ability really works well" complimented Hwangyoung with a grin.
"Dont let anyone know you're lying about your ability"
"Your ability is made to make people believe"
•••
"Our plan was perfect"
"Isnt it?"

"Hwangyoung"
"What made you so sure Jessica would save me?"
"What if she didnt?"
•••
"I predict well"
"Dont i?" said Hwangyoung arrogantly with a chuckle.

"But isnt it a little overboard?"
"She could die"

"Thats one of our motive"
"Isnt it?"
"Who asked her to attack us this slyly"
"Thank goodness my brain worked"
"If not we would have said byebye to our lives at the cafe"
•••

Yuri couldnt believe her eyes.
She couldnt believe what she've seen or heard.

"How could.. this be..?"

"If i want to make you feel even guiltier"
"I have more images to show" said Donghae with a smirk.

Soon, images started filling the orb again.

Helping Jessica up,
the whole team retreated as they helped Jessica out of the cafe.
Right before she left,
Jessica whispered.

"I really didnt Yul.."
"Why cant you believe me..?"
•••
"10-15minutes literally meant everything!"
"Everything!"
"What kind of knights are you!"
"Cant even protect her!"
•••
"Apa.."
"Mani apa.."
"Hot.. omma.."
"Hot.. very hot.."
•••
"Yul.."
"Why dont.. you believe.. me..?"
"Yul.."
"I love you.."
•••
Jessica was still thrashing about on the bed,
thrashing left and right.
Her body heat was beyond description.
Her body heat could be easily felt coming off just by standing beside her.

"Apa.."
"Omma.."
"Sooyeon.."
"Apa.." cried Jessica as tears trickled down her burning face.
•••
"Its.. just blood.."
"Isnt it..?"
"My blood.."

"Your blood"
"They were basically dry sweetie" said Mrs Jung sadly.
"To be honest, i dont know how did you even survive back here sweetie"
"But im glad you did"
"Sweetie, appa has brought back the recommended treatment for you by the physicians back in the realm"
"Let omma do it for you okay?"
"It will soothe your pain for awhile"
•••
Jessica nodded silently as she prepared herself for the pain.
Hearing the background clinging sounds of the metals were actually scaring Jessica away.
Seconds later, she felt something piercing through the skin above her pelvic bone.
It pierced deeper and deeper, which made Jessica felt an excruciating pain that was increasing at every push.

"Omma.."
"Stop.."
"It hurts.."

"Sweetie"
"Bear with it awhile alright"
"I have to get it straight into where your bone marrow is"
"And spread this special solution"
"It was said to aid in the growth of your bone marrow to push the reproduction of blood"

"Pain.."
"Omma.."
"Please.." begged Jessica in tears as her hands formed a first,
grabbing onto the bedsheets tightly.

Minutes later, Mrs Jung sighed and stopped as she picked up the other device that was similar to the first.
And without saying anything, she pushed it through the other side of Jessica's pelvic,
causing her to wince in pain.

"Omma.."
"I dont want.."
"Please.."
"Just let it.. heal.. slowly.." begged Jessica in pain as her hands tried to grab onto Mrs Jung's.

"Dont!" scolded Mrs Jung as she grabbed onto Jessica's hands.
"Im almost done soon"
"Give me a little more time"

Mrs Jung then cautiously and carefully pushed the device straight,
deep into Jessica's pelvic bone.

"Omma.."
"Please.."
"Jebal.."
"NOOOOO"
"DONT.."
"PLEASE.."
"STOP!!!" cried Jessica weakly as she tried to move but got pushed down by Mrs Jung roughly.

"Dear!"
"Anyone out there?" shouted Mrs Jung helplessly.

Instead of Mr Jung rushing in,
it was Tiffany, Sooyoung as well as YoonSun.

"Its you 4.." muttered Mrs Jung.
"Can anyone of you hold Jessica down?"
"But dont hurt her or break any of her bones with your strength"
"She cant afford to get hurt anymore"
•••
"Jessi"
"Dont worry you'll be fine alright?"

"It hurts.."
"So so ..much Tiff.."
"I cant.. take it anymore.." sobbed Jessica sadly.
•••
"Honeystars"
"What have you gone through during your chemotherapy?"
"You've went through everything right?"
"This, im sure you can do it right?"

"Mutt.."
"I cant.."
"I cant bring my-"
"AHHHHH!"
"OMMA!!" cried Jessica as tears streamed down her face.

Mrs Jung had poured the colourless solution into the hollow needle that was inserted into both sides of Jessica's pelvic bone.
The solution stings and burns.
It was felt in the inside of Jessica's bone which made it even more unbearable.

"Shh.."
"Jessi.."
"Its alright.."
"We're here" hushed Tiffany lovingly but with a sad pair of eyes.

"Its burns.."
"Omma.."
"It stings.."

"Sweetie, you'll feel better after this" said Mrs Jung as she cleaned up the whole mess.
"Im sorry sweetie but omma wants you to feel better"

"Omma.."
"It hurts.."
"Its not going.. to make me.. feel better.." sobbed Jessica,
full of agony.
•••

Even Taeyeon who were standing by the side,
watched those images with tears falling off her face.

"There's more"
"But i doubt showing you more of it will change anything" said Donghae.
"I just want the guilt inside you to take over you"
"I just cant stand our Princess Sooyeon to be so pathetic because of you"
"You cant even protect her but you can only hurt her"
"Who are you to hurt a royalty like her?"
"You can take it as our orb is lying, showing you false images"
"Let me tell you, this is called the Truth Orb"
"Believe it or not, its up to you" added Donghae as he walked off,
leaving Yuri behind while the rest followed behind.

"Babydolls, can you come over here for a moment?" asked Taeyeon with pleading eyes.

Tiffany ignored Taeyoen as she focused on Sooyoung's conversation.

"Jessica has been brought to the hospital by her parents just now while we were outside"
"And-"

"Babydolls, please" whispered Taeyeon as she tugged onto Tiffany's arms but got yanked off by Tiffany.

"So as I was saying-"

"Please Tiffany, please"
"I've something to say" begged Taeyeon helplessly.

Sooyoung sighed and turned to Tiffany.

"Give her the time she needs"
"If not, i doubt i would be able to complete my sentence"
"Everyone here can hear your conversation even though you all are whispering" said Sooyoung as she mentally face-palmed herself at how dumb the two immortals were.

Tiffany frowned and turned to Taeyeon.

"Fine"
"Just 5 minutes"
"Say what you need, and we're done here!" said Tiffany coldly as she stormed out of the room.


A/N: Look, like i've promised another chapter is up.
I didnt make you peeps wait too long, did i? (:

And hey, im joining the couples back up before i end this story.
So dont worry about it okay.

Question: Why is Jessica always suffering in my fanfics?
Answer: I cant find the right answer too. But its like some kind of guilty pleasure of mine.
Dont be mistaken, she has always been my top bias.
But i've realised im not the only author who made Jessica suffer in an angst story when its about Yulsic.
I guess thats the drill for Yulsic angst stories?
Hey its just my personal opinion, no hard feelings!
Anw;
*I wrote it as 4 tubes of blood because whenever i go for blood donation,
they would always take 4 tubes of blood from me /:
(Blood donation had become a sorta habit to me already)
*Poor Jessica )':

If you peeps are lucky or made happy enough with subscribers and comment,
i'll release another chapter today with TaeNy patched up,
and probably a little of Yulsic patching up too?
