"DEAR!" exclaimed Mrs Jung
"Krystal's missing!!"
"Look at this!" shouted Mrs Jung in the house, rushing to Mr Jung with a piece of paper in her hands.

A PIECE OF PAPER TORN OFF FROM A BOOK

LETTER;

Dear Appa,Omma&Unnie,

Im sorry for breaking unnie's figurine.
I dont think unnie will like me anymore.
Bye appa, omma&unnie.

END OF LETTER

"Aish" sighed Mr Jung
"That silly girl!"

"Its all because of Jessica!"
"She shouted at her, scaring her off!"
"Now where should we look for her, dear?" asked Mrs Jung panickly

"Dont worry"
"She wont get too far away from us"
"Im sure Krystal will come back"
"If she's not back by another hour, we'll go out&look for her okay?" comforted Mr Jung

But despite Mr Jung's comfort, Mrs Jung still couldnt stop blaming Jessica.
Scolding&blaming Jessica so loudly just to make sure Jessica hears it from her room.
Frustrated, Jessica decided to grab her coat&head out of the house to look for Krystal.
Well, Jessica felt that she's partly to blame too.
Walking past Mr Jung's study room, Jessica overheard Mr Jung's conversation on the phone.

*PHONE CALL*

"WHAT?!"
"The documents for tomorrow morning's meeting is missing?!"
"Did you know how important is the meeting tomorrow?!" exclaimed Mr Jung angrily over the phone

"..."
"..."

"I DONT CARE!"
"By hook or by crook you should get it done!" shouted Mr Jung angrily as he slammed his phone shut

*END OF PHONE CALL*

Jessica's POV

Tomorrow's meeting..?
Isnt it with Taeyeon's dad or something..?

I've went through the files..
Maybe i'll just get it done for appa later..

End of Jessica's POV

From young, Jessica has this really special ability - The photographic memory.
She can actually remember whatever she saw/read clearly.
But the bad thing is that, things that she wanna forget,
it just simply wont go off but stays in her memory for long.

Walking out of the mansion quietly&sadly, Jessica grabbed an umbrella on her way out after hearing some thunder.
Hoping that it wont rain, Jessica walked around the neighbour quickly, trying to find her little sister, Krystal.
But it actually started raining cats&dogs right after Jessica left the mansion.
After walking around for sometime, Jessica came across a playground.
At the playground, there was some sobbing heard.
Following the source of the sound, Jessica then found Krystal, hidding under the playground soaked.

"Krystal?" called Jessica

"Unnie..?" replied Krystal as she looked up to Jessica with her teary face

"Come on out now"
"You're all wet" smiled Jessica as she stretched out her hands to Krystal.

"You're no longer angry with me anymore?" sobbed Krystal, hesistating whether to grab onto Jessica's hands anymore

"Nope.."
"Unnie's sorry for shouting at you"
"Come, have this" said Jessica as she passed the umbrella to Krystal as well as the coat she was wearing to keep herself warm to Krystal
"Wear this"
"Dont catch a cold&go home now okay?"
"Appa&omma is worried sick about you"

"How about unnie?"

"Im going to somewhere else"
"Go home&take a warm bath okay?"

"Okay"
"Thank you unnie" smiled Krystal
"And.."

"And..?"

"Sorry.." said Krystal sadly

"Dont worry about it"
"Get going"

After Krystal left, Jessica ran to the road&hailed for a cab back to the Jungs building.
Soaked inside out after staying in the cold rain, Jessica was freezing and shivering.
Jessica wanted to switch off the air conditioner but couldnt because it was a mass installed air conditioner.
If she were to switched it off, the whole company's air conditioner would be off.
Ignoring the coldness in her, Jessica started typing out the documents that were lost, putting them back together in a file.
It took her hours to do that&also because of the coldness, she had to take much longer time as her hands were numb from the coldness, making typing a harder job than before.

Jungs Mansion

"Oh my!"
"Sweetheart!" cried Mrs Jung in tears as she ran over to hug Krystal
"You're back!"
"Im so worried about you!"
"Why are you so wet?" asked Mrs Jung worriedly.

"Err.. I.."

"Nevermind about it Krystal"
"Go&take a warm bath"
"Dont catch a cold" said Mr Jung as he came out of his study room, frustrated.

"Neh appa" answered Krystal as she went back to her room

"Dear, whats wrong?" asked Mrs Jung

"My documents"
"With the Kims meeting tomorrow morning is missing.."
"It was made by my secretary who had went on a maternity leave.." sighed Mr Jung
"I dont know what to do tomorrow"

"Is it very important?"
"Can you push back the meeting?"

"I cant" sighed
"It is pretty important because the Kims are investing on our new project"
"Our new project is pretty major" explained Mr Jung

"Oh, then do you need me to help you?" offered Mrs Jung

"Ani, maybe i'll look for Jessi to help me finish it up together" said Mr Jung as he got up to Jessica's room but to find it empty.

Walking over to her table, Mr Jung found the broken pieces of the figurine just now to be back in one whole but with cracks all over it.
As Mr Jung stared at the figurine, it felt really familiar to him but he just simply couldnt figure out where did he seen this.
Sighing, Mr Jung walked out of the room.

"Dear, have you got any idea where is Jessi at such hours?" asked Mr Jung

"She's not in her room?"

"Nope"

"She must be mad at us for scolding her"
"And me for slapping her, thats why she left the house i guess" replied Mrs Jung

"How could you just remain so nonchalent about it?"
"Isnt Jessi your daughter too?"

"She is"
"But this time round, i feel that she's really in the wrong"
"How could she yell at the innocent Krystal?"

"Even so, you should show her a little concern"
"Shouldnt you?"
"Look" said Mr Jung as he pointed to the windows
"Its raining cats&dogs outside but Jessi is nowhere to be found"
"And you couldnt care less?"

"I just hope she can reflect on what she've done dear"
"Really"

"Really?"
"Then i really have got nothing to say" sighed Mr Jung disappointedly as he started to walk away.

"Appa" called Krystal as she tugged Mr Jung's pants

"Yes Krystal?"

"I saw unnie"
"Unnie came for me" said Krystal as she passed Jessica's coat to Mr Jung
"Unnie passed me her umbrella&coat, she didnt want me to catch a cold" sniffed Krystal

"Really?"
"Awww~ But Krystal, i think you've caught one right?" smiled Mr Jung
"You're sniffing&you feel a little hot" said Mr Jung as he felt for Krystal's forehead
"Come on, go back to your room&rest"
"We'll bring you to the doctor tomorrow okay?"

"Neh appa" grinned Krystal as she walked back to her room with her cute pyjamas on her.

The next morning, Krystal woke up to a nauseous feeling in her.
Throwing up in the bathroom loudly, Mrs Jung came in with a worried face.

"Whats wrong sweetheart?" asked Mrs Jung

"Omma.."
"I feel sick" sobbed Krystal

"Sick?" said Mrs Jung as she went over&took Krystal's temperature
"Hmm.."
"38degrees.."
"Come, go&have some breakfast"
"Omma will bring you to the doctor to make you feel better okay?" smiled Mrs Jung as she carried Krystal in her arms.

"I dont want to eat omma" sobbed Krystal

"At least drink something okay?"
"You need something in your tiny body to grow up" cooed Mrs Jung as she sat Krystal on the chair.

"Dear, im bringing Krystal to the doctor later"
"Think she caught a cold"
"Must be Jessi's fault" complained Mrs Jung
"I still cant believe the fact that she made her sister ran out of the house&came back with a cold"

"Dear, stop it"
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Saying all these infront of Krystal?" whispered Mr Jung

"Araesso araesso" mumbled Mrs Jung grumpily

Later part of the day, when Mr Jung left for work while Mrs Jung brought Krystal to the doctor,
Jessica came home staggering weakly outside her mansion.
Pressing the bell for umpteen times yet no one opened the door for her.

Jessica's POV

Brrr..
Im freezing..
Someone, please, open the door for me..

My whole body is aching so badly..
My head's spinning around..

End of Jessica's POV

Jessica stood there for a few minutes before her legs gave in, making Jessica fall onto the ground.
Hugging her knees together, Jessica tried calling Mr Jung but was directed into the voicemail.
Glancing at her phone's clock, Jessica knew that the meeting has started.
When she was about to call Mrs Jung, she received a text.

*TEXT*

To; Jessica
Im bringing Krystal to the doctor.
She had caught a cold from last night.
Wont be back early.
Ahjumma went out to buy some grocceries.
Will be back only around noon.
From; Omma

*END OF TEXT*

"Noon..?" chattered Jessica
"I'll have to stay here till noon..?"

*PHONE CALL*

"Sica?"

"Yul.."
"Are you.. free now..?"

"Why did you call Sica?"
"Im on my way out"
"You know, i came back&YoonA asked me out!" giggled Yuri happily
"She said she has got something to tell me"

"Oh.. really..?"
"Its okay.. then.."
"Enjoy.. yourself.."

*END OF PHONE CALL*

"Even my best friend's not free to take me in.." sighed Jessica
"Should i try Taeyeon..?"
"Or Tiffany unnie..?"
"Aish.. Forget it.."
"I'll just wait, or probably freeze to death"
"Im just an unloved person"
"No one appreciates me.." mumbled Jessica as she laid her head on her knees

Few hours later, Jessica was awoken by the ahjumma who had came back from grocceries shopping.
Nudging Jessica a few times, Jessica had finally woken up.

Ahjumma's POV

Oh my..
She's burning..

Poor her..

End of Ahjumma's POV

"Agasshi"
"Why are you sitting outside here?" asked the ahjumma

"I've forgotten.. to bring.. my keys.." replied Jessica weakly as she slowly got up,
staggering into the house&back to her room holding onto different supports in the house.

Plopping down on her bed, Jessica immediately went under her covers because she was actually really freezing.
Few minutes later, the ahjumma came into Jessica's room with a few tablets&a cup of water.

"Agasshi"
"Take these panadols, it will help to reduce your fever" said the ahjumma kindly.

"Oh.." replied Jessica as she slowly sat up from the bed
"Its okay.. Just leave.. it there.. first.." smiled Jessica
"Thanks.."

"You're welcome agasshi" smiled the ahjumma as she left the room

After the ahjumma left the room, Jessica started to wheeze as her chest tighten in pain.
Oxygen cant seem to get through her as she clutched onto her chest tightly,
gasping for air.

Fumbling her bag for her inhaler, she threw everything out of her bag&eventually gotten her inhaler.
Inhaled the puffs for a few times, Jessica had slowly calmed down.
Lying on the bed, with her inhaler held in her hands tightly, Jessica slowly drifted off into a deep slumber.

Hours later, Mrs Jung came back with Krystal from the doctor.
As soon as they got back home, Mrs Jung sent Krystal back to her room&rest immediately.

"Sweetheart"
"Remember what did the doctor said?"
"You have to take plenty of rest before this flu bug will leave your body right?" asked Mrs Jung as she tucked Krystal in bed

"Neh omma"
"Krystal will rest a lot a lot" smiled Krystal

"Thats my girl"
"Now sleep, omma will wake you up for dinner"
"Sleep well"
"Feel better" said Mrs Jung as she gave a light peck on Krystal's forehead before leaving her room.

Upon arriving at his office, the missing document that he's been worried about was on his table.
But he remembered very clearly that it isnt.
While his temporary secretary was also dumbfounded, they werent left with much time so they left for the meeting.
Surprisingly, the meeting went exceptionally well&the documents were actually improvised, better than the previous one.
After the meeting ended, Mr Jung turned to his temporary secretary.

"Did you do this overnight?"

"Aniyo"
"I didnt even know whats all these about"
"Im also puzzled as in how did this came here"
"And was even better than the previous one" replied the secretary

"Have you got any idea who did this?"

"Nope"
"Anyway, Mr Jung"
"Ms Jung isnt in the office today"
"Do you know where is she?"
"I've got a lot of documents for her"

"She's not here?"
"She's not home last night" sighed Mr Jung
"I think she's getting really out of hand" muttered Mr Jung

*PHONE CALL*

"Jessica!"
"Where are you?"
"How can you dump your work aside that you promised me and went missing?!"
"Dont tell me you're hanging out with your friends because you're angry with us for last night!" scolded Mr Jung angrily

Mr Jung really hated people who took his company's work as some unimportant because this company was passed down by his grandparents who had built it with nothing.
He dont want to let anything down the drain, thats why he's particularly strict when it comes to his company's work.

"Bian..eh.. appa.."
"Im.. coming.. now.." apologised Jessica as she drowsily got off her bed

*END OF PHONE CALL*

Neither did Mr Jung realised the weakness in Jessica's voice.
The lethargic and strengthless voice that was over the phone.
Replying in bits and parts.

Jessica's POV

I didnt dump my work aside..
I didnt went out with my friends..
I wasnt even mad at you..

I thought of just coming hope to take a short rest..
Im sorry..

End of Jessica's POV

An hour later, Jessica arrived back at her office,
totally exhausted but was bounded by the number of documents on her table.
Clearing it one by one, while everyone added to the pain in her head.
Soon, she had finally cleared everything&was ready to go home.
As soon as she got home, everyone was preparing to start dinner.

"Unnie, come join us for dinner!" called Krystal happily at the sight of the return of her sister.

"Yup come over&join us for dinner" said Mrs Jung

"We're having porridge for dinner because Krystal is sick"
"Come over" said Mr Jung

"Its okay.."
"Im tired.." replied Jessica coldly as she went back to her room

"Whats wrong with her?"
"Is she still angry at me for slapping her?" asked Mrs Jung dumbfounded.

"I dont know"
"I shouted at her just now"
"For missing work" shrugged Mr Jung
"I know i shouldnt have, but when it comes to work"
"You know how strict i am dear.." explained Mr Jung

"I know i know.."
"Nevermind, lets just finish our dinner first" said Mrs Jung
"Come on, eat now Krystal"
"You have to take your medicine after dinner" smiled Mrs Jung as she ruffled Krystal's hair.

Jessica's side

"Arrghh.." muttered Jessica
"I feel like dying.."
 
While Jessica was lying on her bed,
trying to make herself feel better although it didnt really make any difference.
Lying there for hours, her whole body wasnt cooperating to the extend that she couldnt even fall asleep thanks to the bodyaches and headaches.

Just then, Yuri skipped into Jessica's room with a huge smile plastered on her face.
Immediately, Yuri plopped down onto Jessica's bed.

"Sica Sica!" called Yuri happily

"Why are.. you here..?" asked Jessica shocked as she slowly sat up on her bed

"Im so happy today!"
"I just came by your house after sending YoonA home!"
"She apologised to me today, telling me she was wrong"
"She hope to get back with me!" chuckled Yuri

"So.. you got.. back with.. her..?" asked Jessica slowly.

"Nope!"
"I told her i'll have to consider first" smiled Yuri
"So why did you call me just now?"
"Im sorry i didnt have time just now" said Yuri awkwardly

"Its.. okay.."
"Its over.. now.." smiled Jessica
"Im tired.. Yul.."
"Sorry.. but maybe.. can you.. go home.. first..?" asked Jessica politely.

Yuri frowned as she observed Jessica with a worried expression.

"Are you sick Sica?"
"I just realised you looked really under weather!" exclaimed Yuri as she felt for Jessica's forehead but was yanked away immediately.

"Dont.."

"Sica!"
"Your hands are so hot!"

"Dont.. shout.." pleaded Jessica
"Just let me.. rest.. please..?"

"Im going to call Tiffany unnie!"
"I heard she's back in Korea too to attend her cousin's wedding" said Yuri worriedly as she immediately got her phone out of her bag and started tapping but was taken away from Jessica almost immediately.

Yuri looked at Jessica,
a little offended by her actions.

"Why?" asked Yuri, a little annoyed.

"Dont.."
"I dont want.. to trouble.. anyone.."

"What trouble?"
"How about your dad&mum?"
"Does they know that you're sick?"

"No.."
"Krystal's sick.."
"They're worried.."

"Krystal?"
"Who is she?"
"Is it the girl whom i saw at the dining table with your parents when i came in?"

Jessica nodded.

"She's my.. adopted.. dongsaeng.."
"My parents.. love her a lot.." said Jessica sadly as a tear fell down her face
"Whatever i did.. well.. wasnt even.. appreciated.. or recognised.."
"Only those bad.. things that i did.. was.. recognised.."
"Yul.." explained Jessica sadly.

"Aww.."
"Dont cry Sica"
"Do you want to stay at my house?"
"I'll take care of you" offered Yuri with a smile.

"Ani.."
"Its okay.."
"I'll stay.. here.."
"Thanks Yul.."
"For coming.."
"And if.. you decided to not accept YoonA.. back.."
"Please tell.. me.. okay..?"
"I'll tell you.. something important then.." said Jessica slowly, trying to regulate her breathing since it was really rough.

"You seem really sick ah Sica.." said Yuri worriedly, watching the sick latter in bed.
"Okay, i'll tell you then"
"Feel better"
"If not call me, i'll get Tiffany for you" smiled Yuri as she picked up all the stuff that Jessica had thrown out earlier today and left it at her vanity before closing the door behind her.

Yuri's POV

Something important to tell me..?
Geez..

Sica, why are you so sick yet so..
Sigh..
Im so worried for you..
How did your parents changed so much overnight..?
Watching your adopted sister with your parents eating so happily in the dining room made my blood boil.
You, lying on the bed so sick as compared to your dongsaeng.
But they are all focused on your dongsaeng.

Wow.

End of Yuri's POV


Later that night, Jessica's asthma attack had happened again, in silence.
Jessica didnt take any of the panadols the ahjumma kindly gave her because she actually has an allergy to panadols&aspirin.
For all asthma patients, they were supposed to go through a allergy test in order for the doctors in future giving the medicine to know which medicine are they allergic to&food that they are allergic to are to be avoided.
