Set Me Free

The Broken Puzzle

- Taeyeon's POV -

I looked at my phone, which was scorching hot by the time I had scrolled to our very first messages, and that was after my phone had crashed for possibly more than 10 times.

The way we started talking was so awkward that the memory stayed crystal clear.

Jung 
Hey. I'm Taeyeon.
hey. glad u texted. was kinda afraid u won't.
Why wouldn't I? Haha.
u don't really like me isn't it. it's kinda obvious.
Who did you hear that from?
i figured.
but hey, i wanted to make friends.
that's why i finally approached.
Finally? What do you mean?
lol. takes me a million years to start talking to someone.
I can see that. Haha.
lol. i must look really bad huh.
anyways.
i'm jessica jung. i've seen u around a lot. guess we are in the same year?
Yeah I'm in my second year. You're majoring in?
performance.
heard ur brother is in our school too?
Wow. Have you been stalking?
Hahaha I'm kidding ^^

And then things slowly changed, as we became friends.

Jung 
Where you at?
gym. sup?
You left your notes here with me you b*tch.
hahaha i thought i'd lost it. bring it to me?
Not your maid.
Never will be.
will coming to the gym kill u kim taengoo?
I don't like to run.
that's me.
I'll bring it to you if you buy me ice cream.
ok. my treat.
why do i have to buy u food when u are the one with loads of money actually?
That sentence isn't applicable to you.
You're acting like your family is any less richer than mine.
haha love to whine. cya later u're distracting me.

We were complete opposites in everyone's eyes, and the number of people in school who knew that we were getting close was countable with two hands.

Jung 
...
^^v
change my name on ur phone b*tch.
Nope.

 I still remembered how I changed her name on my phone to "Fat Jung". It was so smile-inducing, when things started to change. That was...about half a year after we have met?

Jung 
sorry...
hey...
sorry...? :(
taengoo...
babe i'm really sorry...
can u pick up my call?
i miss u taeyeon :(

 

Jung 
Despicable.
:) :) :)
u're not angry any more right?
i'm really sorry.
Shouldn't have settled for just this.
my dear, i hope u realised that i travelled 2hrs just to get that ice cream for u.
Should I thank you for it?
i should have just made it myself and poison u to death.

 

Jung 
any movies u wanna watch later?
You know Eunjung right? Heard she starred in a new movie.
that is a horror movie.
I know.
we're not watching that -.-
Come on. Even when you get scared, the one who is disadvantaged is always me.
You're always try'na grab my hands off or something.
u're buying me clothes after that.
Ok. Deal.
i changed my mind. bag.
Sure. Anything.
the latest one we saw from Chanel yesterday.
Ok ok...

What?! I'm only buying it for you, not anyone else. Stop using my money like it flows from a waterfall.

Oh. Ok. Sure.

 

Jung

Jung

Jung

... I'm speechless.

Jung

What why?

There was nothing to think about.
fine.
Why are you being like this?
?
Jess.
Jung Sooyeon.
Just reply won't you.
Just what the heck is wrong with you?!
nothing is wrong with me.
i just shouldn't have cared.
why did i even bother worrying about u the whole night.
Jess...
why did i even cry myself to sleep.
just why did i care so much about u.
forget it. i'm just being irrelevant.
goodnight then.
I'm sorry...
Jess you okay?
Love :(
Jess, I'm sorry that I was so overwhelmed with my work that I didn't notice that my battery was dead. I really had to finish those work before I would leave school and I was so engrossed that I forgot about everything else including telling my family about it. I know you must have been worried sick. I'm sorry that I was really tired from all those workload and I didn't spare a thought about how you might have been feeling. I just hope that you know how sorry I am. I'm sorry for making you cry to sleep. You know me... Sometimes I'm such a hopeless workaholic. I need you to know that you mean so much to me and it hurts me to know that you were being all worried and I didn't know and then I just...yeah... Babe I'm sorry. I really love you and if the roles were reversed I would probably have hunted you down or reported it to the police or something. I know I'm an . Please just forgive me. I'll be waiting for you to simmer down and I promise I'll be here any time you're ready to forgive me. Sorry love :'(
don't call urself an ...

 

Jung 
yeon! i'm like at the cafe. tell me when u're done :)
Huh? We aren't meeting today are we? Don't tell me I forgot. Gosh.
no no we didn't plan to meet today.
Oh. Then what's up?
nothing's up. just wanna wait for u to end school.
My class is ending in 3 hours' time. Don't wait. Go home.
i'm waiting. if u don't grab me at the cafe when u're leaving u're still gon find me here in the morning.
ur choice.
Haha b*tch. Okay. I love you :)
love u too :) 

And then from here, it was when we have already started dating. If I hadn't remembered wrongly.

 Jung 
who was hitting on my girlfriend?
Since when did you get your news so fast?
that's not the point.
Haha before you even get angry, I didn't even give him my number. Don't worry.
i'm not worrying. u're pretty much stuck with me.
i just wondered who had the guts.
Only our girls know that we're dating babe.
Don't even get me started on the 5 girls who asked for photos with you last week.
oh i should have known tiff would tell u.
-.-
Unlike me, you actually took the photos with them.
not photos. just a photo.
Then mine's just a phone number.
don't u dare.
You're daring me?
Are you even sure?
do it if u dare.
I swear I dare. But I see no need to.
Plus
I don't need to give anyone else my phone number when the one I love already has mine :)
sweet talker.
But you still love me.

 

Jung

Jung

before my class starts.
What if I go over and you don't do it?
counting down.
You're gonna get it. I'm going over right now. I'm pretty sure you're gonna eat your words. 

Right... Our second anniversary. Maybe I should never have suggested that. It was that time when our relationship was finally publicised.

"Hey it's Taeyeon." A student from her class stood up and pointed at me. Jessica turned and met my gaze and she smirked. Ignoring everyone else's stare, I took slow steps towards Jessica whose smirk never left her face. When I was beside her table, she finally stood up and faced me. Smiling, she grabbed my neck and the next thing I knew, her warm lips was on mine as cheers echoed from the classroom all the way down the corridor.

We stayed there for a few seconds and she smirked, as she finally pulled away. She wasn't expecting it when I pulled her back and gave her more than a peck as my tongue slid right into . We continued kissing, as we smiled, and as the students' roaring filled the entire classroom.

I couldn't help but to smile, and I continued reading.

I found my tears rolling down yet again, as I reached the last of our messages, and the last time I ever heard from Jessica before she left me for the beautiful angels in heaven.

Jung 
i'm so sleepy...
Like forever.
You're coming over in the morning right?
yeah. but i think i'll head over in the afternoon.
i'll probably sleep in...
Hahaha silly girl. Go and sleep now.
Sleep well.
I love you so much :)

Goodnight!
goodnight :) love u.

Hahahahaha alright sleep now Jung! I really love you. I miss you :)

Jung

 Jung

Jung 
Do they have reception in heaven? I miss you :') 

 

Jung

Life is so nig unfair
Why did they take away my bby..
I'm forgetting how you loook lke
Baby I cant take tis any more
Hold me...
Jessica jung sooyeon
I hate my life 

 

 I started typing again, after the last time I drunk text her. And I broke down upon sending the message.

Jung 
Jess it's been 2 long years since you're gone. I miss you so much and honestly I'm still not accepting the fact that you're gone. I feel that you're still here. You're not gone. My heart hurts. My heart yearns for you. I feel like I'm been living like a lifeless soul the whole time you're not around. I can't believe it, and I'm not believing it. We promised to be together till the end of time. Isn't this end of time too soon for us? There were still so many things that we wanted to do. We still had so many things on that to-do list of ours. Jess this is unfair... I'm dying. I'm dying here without you. There are so many times that I felt that maybe leaving this world would be the best thing, to take me away from this suffering. But whenever I had these thoughts, I'd remember you telling me how precious our lives were. How it was because of our lives that we had managed to meet each other. I can't do it. I can't take away my own life that you said was precious, that you said you would protect with your own life. You said my life wasn't mine, you said it was yours. I'm sorry Jess... I'm sorry for not being able to protect yours. I'm sorry that I was not there when you must have been so scared. You must have needed me. Jess I'm sorry... Jess I really love you. I miss you. I miss you so much. How am I going to live knowing that you're no longer on this Earth with me... How am I supposed to breathe knowing that I can never see you again? Jess I don't know. Maybe...take me away... Take me away with you. It's your life as you said. So take it away. I really don't know how much longer I can do this Jessica... I love you so much. So ing much. Take me away... Take me away from all these... I miss you baby... I miss you...

Chapter 33: I love Taengsic dearly. I love that they got back together. However, I can't help but to feel bad for Claire. I know Claire is Jessica, same person, but I feel bad when Jessica is Claire. It's saddening, Taeyeon can't just accept her. Thanks author :)
