Chapter 23

Mistakenly Born..?

"I dont know.."
"I cant feel anything.. at all.." whispered Jessica weakly with a pained expression.

Tiffany sighed as she took Jessica's temperature,
clipping her onto the body vitals monitoring machine.

Recording everything down one by one,
Tiffany threw Yuri a worried expression.

"Jessi"
"Can you please stay here?"
"At least overnight?"
"Just for a night"

Jessica immediately shot up from the bed.

"No.."
"Dont force me.. if not.."
"I'll leave.."

Tiffany looked disappointed and nodded in the end.
So she went over to the a set of infus and inserted it into Jessica's arm,
earning a wince from her.
After getting the infus in place, Tiffany hooked up bags of solution to it.
Next, she went over and placed the oxygen mask over Jessica's face.

Jessica frowned with tears.

"Unnie.. everything.."
"Except.. for this.. please..?" begged Jessica sadly.
"I hate it.."

"No Jessi"
"You dont want to stay here"
"You dont want the oxygen mask"
"How are you going to feel better?" questioned Tiffany strictly.

Jessica looked away guiltily.
Her arm were burning in pain.

"Whats that.. its burning.. my arm.."
"Unnie.. please..?"
"Take it.. away from me.."
"It hurts.." sobbed Jessica in tears.

Tiffany sighed as she squatted down beside Jessica's bed.

"Jessi, look"
"I want you to feel better"
"You scared me last night for being trapped in the cold storage"
"And you didnt wanna stay in the hospital right after you've gain consciousness"
"You know how worried i was?"
"And your asthma, it turned for the worst even though i dont know how much"
"Yet you didnt even look for me"
"Im your doctor in charge as well as your unnie"
"Hypothermia.. you know Jessi?"
"Hypothermia, being stuck in a place in extreme low temperature"
"You were almost announced brain dead, yet you didnt gvie a damn and left the hospital like that"
"Hypothermia affects your heart rate really significantly"
"Potassium is just helping and preventing your heart rate to be abnormal"

Jessica sighed sadly as she let tears trickled down her face.

"You know, if you're admitted"
"You would be placed in the ICU ward already" said Tiffany as-a-matter-of-factly.

ICU..
Intensive Care Unit was the last Jessica wanted to stay in in the hospital.
Because everything inside there made her feel weak.
No one could visit her inside because her immune system were weak then.

"No.."
"Please unnie.."
"I dont want.. it.." pleaded Jessica in fear.
"Just let me home.."

Krystal was watching everything from the side.
Krystal felt so sad.
She wanted to head back to her ward and tell her parents about it.
She hated to see Jessica in pain.
Much less to be tears because of pain.

"I'll let you home only if i see your condition improving"
"Especially your temperature"
"I dont like the temperature that comes with all these Jessi" said Tiffany sternly.
"Take care of her Yul, thanks for bringing her here"
"Call me if anything happens" added Tiffany before walking away.

Yuri sighed as she sat down beside Jessica.

"Sica.."
"Why are you doing this to yourself..?"
"You know you're like torturing yourself.."

"Torturing..?"
"Do you think.. i liked it..?"
"Do you think.. i like.. needles.."
"Medicines.. oxygen mask.."
"Hospitals..?"
"Because.. im left with.. no choice.."
"Im being.. replaced.."

Yuri carressed Jessica's sad face.

"Look Sica.."
"I'll still be here for you"
"Im your best friend, right?"

Jessica smiled weakly.

"Thanks Yul.."
"You know.."
"I've something.. to apologise.. to your.."

"Hmm..?"

"You remember.."
"The day.. where we first arrived.. in Korea.."
"And i went to the.. hospital because.."
"Of my family..?"

Yuri nodded.

"You came.."
"And i.."
"Vented my.. frustration on.. you.."
"Im sorry.."
"I didnt mean.. it.."
"I was just.."

Jessica sighed.

"Just im.. sorry Yul.."

Yuri smiled.

"Its okay"
"You dont have to be sorry"
"i understand Sica"
"I was too rash too.."
"I shouldnt be mad at you.."
"Im just worried Sica.."


After watching what Jessica had went through,
Krystal ran back to her ward and woke her parents up.

"Appa!"
"Omma!"
"Wake up!!" called Krystal as she shook them violently.

Mr anf Mrs Jung started to stir from their sleep,
and slowly opened their eyes.

"Whats wrong sweetheart?"
"Are you feeling unwell or anything?"

"Why are you out of bed, Krystal?"

Krystal frowned.

"Im feeling all well"
"The doctors also said i have to exercise and walk around"
"Thats why im out of bed!"
"Appa, omma, unnie's in the hospital!"
"Can you all visit her?"

Mr and Mrs Jung looked at each other before turning back to Krystal with a weak smile.

"Unnie's always going in and out of the hospital Krystal"
"She'll be fine"

"Thats right sweetheart"
"Unnie will be fine"
"Dont worry"

"Im not your biological daughter appa and omma"
"Why are you all showing me so much more concern when unnie needs it more than me?!"
"Unnie's like 19 only!"

"But sweetheart, you're only 13"
"Your unnie didnt spare a thought for you"
"Didnt even visit you yet you're thinking for her?" said Mrs Jung.

"Unnie didnt even have time to rest!"
"Unnie has less than 4 hours of rest everyday!"
"And she still visits me!"
"Is only appa and omma are asleep!" defended Krystal.
"Unnie's schedule's in her ipad and i saw it!"

Mr Jung sighed as he led Krystal back to her bed.

"Look Krystal"
"Unnie must be misleading you by playing with her ipad"
"Messing her schedule up"
"She cant be having less than 4 hours of rest per day" said Mr Jung assuringly/
"So dont worry alright?"
"You have to rest more, you'll be discharged tomorrow"

"Appa.."
"Unnie's really sick.."
"The doctor even threatened to put her in ICU ward if she doesnt listen to her.."
"Why wont you believe me.."

Mr & Mrs Jung smiled.

"Okay sweetheart"
"We believe you"
"We'll visit unnie as soon as you're asleep alright?"

Krystal smiled and nodded.
Within seconds, Krystal had fell asleep.

"Finally gotten her to sleep" said Mrs Jung as she collasped onto the chair,
letting out a huge sigh of relief.

"Yup, Krystal's so concerned for Jessica"
"If only Jessica could do likewise.."
"Anyway, do you think shes really sick?" asked Mr Jung suddenly.

Mrs Jung simply waved it away.

"Sweetie's always falling sick easily"
"A visit to the hospital would fix her up"
"Krystal's more serious since it doesnt fix her up within a trip to the hospital dear"

Mr Jung sighed silently.
Mr Jung didnt dare to utter another single word to compare Krystal and Jessica because if he's going to do that,
Mrs Jung would start blaming him again for Krystal's mishap.


"Hey Jessi.." called Tiffany softly after a few hours since she's in A&E department.
"Jessi.. wake up.."

Yuri stirred from her sleep and opened her eyes,
to see Tiffany back here waking Jessica up.

"Let her rest"
"Why are you waking her up?"

"I need her to go for some tests"
"Her asthma has worsened rapidly Yul"
"I need to give her stronger medicine but has to make sure which to give"
"I dont want to prescribe her with something stronger than she should take"

Yuri sighed and nodded before walking towards Jessica,
and gently shook her up.

"Sica.."
"Wake up.."
"Tiff unnie has something to say.." said Yuri as she woke Jessica up.

Jessica stirred and finally opened her eyes tiredly.

"Jessi..?" called Tiffany worriedly as she flashed the tiny torch into Jessica's eyes.
"How are you feeling now?"

"Better.." lied Jessica weakly.

Tiffany sighed.

"I'll need you to something for me before letting you home" said Tiffany slowly.
"You have to cooperate with me, you understand me?"

Jessica nodded weakly while Yuri made Jessica's bed up.
Tiffany pulled a machine over to Jessica and passed her a small handheld device.

"You know what to do"
"Anytime you're ready" said Tiffany firmly as she waited for Jessica to get ready.

Taking the biggest breath Jessica could,
she exhaled it into the device.
For a few times before handling it back to Tiffany.
Yuri helped her lay back down onto the bed.

"You okay Sica?"

Jessica nodded weakly.

"Just a little dizzy.."

"Dont worry, it will go off soon" interrupted Tiffany as she was waiting for the results of the test.

While the results were being printed, Tiffany turned to Jessica with a metal tin tray in her hands.
Bringing out a syringe and a bottle of liquid,
Jessica closed her eyes and looked away.

"Its just a after medicine i've to give it to you Jessi"
"It wont hurt that much dont worry" assured Tiffany as she inserted it into Jessica's arm professionally and released the liquid into Jessica's arm.
"Here, im done"

With that, Tiffany turned and returned all her equipment before pulling a huge one in.

"Whats that?" asked Yuri.

"Its an X-ray machine"
"Portable one"

"Why do you need that?"

"To get a chest X-ray on Jessi"
"But i need you to leave first Yul"
"Its better for you to leave because X-ray is kinda strong and might destroy your body cells"
"Even though you're the one watching by the side"

Yuri looked worried.

"Its gonna be okay"
"Jessi had gone through X-rays before"
"It wont hurt she knows that" smiled Tiffany assuringly.

Yuri then left the two,
and waited outside for it.
Few minutes later,
Tiffany smiled as she stepped out and motioned for Yuri to come back in.

"So how is she?" asked Yuri.

"Come over here" said Tiffany as she led Yuri out,
out of the hearing range of Jessica's.
"Listen, Jessi's condition is really weak now Yul"
"Judging from her chest X-rays as well as the lung function"

"So..?"

"The most i can do for her now is to give her the strongest medicine as well as inhaler Yul"
"Thats the most i can do"
"I dont know how did her condition worsen so fast"

"I dont know too.."

"Do you think its possible for her to stop school?"
"Or like pause a little before returning"
"We need her condition to stablise first"

Yuri shook her head sadly.

"Sica wont wanna do that"
"She wont"

"But in this case, i'll get really worried for her"
"To be honest Yul, asthma can get really serious that will turn to a terminal illness"
"I dont want Jessi to be like that"

"I dont want it neither"
"Lets think of another alternative"
"But now, let me bring her home first" said Yuri worriedly.

Tiffany nodded.

"Try to let her rest more"
"She needs plenty of it"
"And her fever have yet to break, so take good care of her when you two reach home"

Yuri nodded and threw Tiffany a weak smile.

"I will"

Back to Jessica's bedside,
Tiffany was removing Jessica's infus as well as the other equipment that were used on her while Yuri was packing her stuff,
as well as her newly prescribed inhaler.
Helping Jessica onto Yuri's back,
Tiffany once again warned Jessica to take good care of herself.

Jessica nodded and they left the hospital just like that.
After settling Jessica back at her own house,
Yuri had to go because of Yoona.
Yoona had been looking for her the whole day.

"Sica, i've got to go"
"I'll be back soon alright?"
"Dont move around but call for the ahjumma if you need anything"
"You understand me?"
"Dont try to sneak out for work tomorrow after what you've done today"

"Okay.."
"Get.. going.."


Upon entering her house,
Yuri was welcomed by Yoona's big bear hug.

"I missed you Yul"

Yuri smiled.

"I missed you too"
"Where did you go?"

"I went out with my friends"
"They said they missed me after me spending so much time with my Kwon Seobang" teased Yoona playfully.

"Awww"
"Thats so sweet of you"

"So how's your old friend?"

"Long story" sighed Yuri as she plopped onto the sofa.

"Oh.."
"Is your friend feeling better now?"

"I hope so.."

"Yul, dont be so depress!"
"Play with me!"
"I'll cheer you up!!" whined Yoona as she tugged Yuri on her arms.

"Im tired Yoona"
"Another day please?"

Yoona sighed and nodded.

"Then you better go take and shower and turn in early"
"I'll leave now" said Yoona sadly.

"Im sorry baby"
"I love you" said Yuri as she gave Yoona a kiss on her lips before sending Yoona to the door.

Right after Yoona left Yuri's mansion,
she literally cursed out loud.

"Damn that Jessica Jung"
"I seriously hate her!"
"And Yul!"
"You're going to regret this"
"I thought of letting you off and not seeking revenge after seeing you"
"Treating me like so nicely"
"I was wrong huh?"
"Its okay, you'll get what you deserve"
"My parents said your parents once cheated us a whole sum of money to be the Kwon Holdings of today"
"And now you?"
"Cheated my heart"
"I'll get this all even from you KWON YURI!"
