“Sica do you still remember about that Wooyoung guy?”

I wonder… does she remember?

It was funny when I would remember it at times. I suppose, from that time, the feelings I feel for Jessica began to grow and is still growing.

I looked at Jessica whose still beside me, at the door step, still waiting for that woman. The time I gave her the pillows from the bedroom, her eyes were nailed outside. She doesn’t even move.

I flinched at the sight.

I picked the blanket with the other pillow behind me. I unfolded it soon and wrapped around her shoulders. As my fingertips brushed against her smooth skin, I felt her temperature is little bit warmer than the normal one. And right there, there was an unknown pinch I felt inside my chest.

Why did Sica change so much?

As Jessica didn’t do much about it. I softly held her head with my right hand as I slowly lead it against my shoulder, making herself comfortable on our position. She’s on her regular soft breath, easing the part of me worrying about her.

I softly chuckled as I continued talking though it’s clear enough that Sica has no intention of talking back.

“That Wooyoung guy, do you even remember what you did to him?” I laughed as I vividly remember that moment. I was 14 back then, only on my 1st year of high school where Sica is 13 and was attending her junior high school. Sica is a witty one so what do you expect?

I heard Sica breathed deep… meaning she’s listening.

“The top2 on Most Genius Child Prodigies of the World was sent to principal’s office.” I laughed, this time genuinely. I looked at her, still her eyes glued outside. “Did you know what happened to Wooyoung after you pushed him down the stairs?” I asked her in a teasing tone, “he got his left arm broken, you know.” I uttered as I tenderly caresses her blonde hair. “You were sent to the principal’s office. I remember how you didn’t even show any response to our principal. You were such a cold ice berg, an ‘ice princess’ indeed… fortunately, the principal let it slide but your Calculus teacher didn’t.” I chuckled again, remembering how her Calculus teacher avenged her son Wooyoung to Jessica. That teacher was such an . She gave Jessica a low grade than what she actually should gain. I wonder if Mr Jung heard something about that because Sica didn’t tell me anything after that incident.

“You shouldn’t have done that… you had a low grade because of me.” I was surprised for a sudden moment when I felt Sica held my hand, intertwining our fingers, just like how we used to. But I immediately collected myself and held her hand even tighter, just enough for her to know I am here for her… only for her.

“You pushed Wooyoung for the reason he kept on teasing me… and calling me… an o-orphan.”

And yes, that’s true.

I am an orphan…

I was an orphan… until the Kims decided to adopt me.

“You were my protector Sica. You’ve always been… and now, I want to return the favour. Not because I don’t want to owe anything from you but because I want you to know how much I care for you… how much I lov- like you.” I don’t know on how I will say I love her, I know I do but I don’t know to what extent. Now that I know how that Tiffany Hwang changed everything about her, how their love changed Jessica. I’m afraid if I show her the love I have for her, it might just destroy her once again.

Might destroy me once again.

I am afraid.

 Just like how I was afraid when Sica confessed to me.

And now, I am still afraid…

But I will try…

I will try… for you Sica

I will definitely try

“Let me be you Edward Cullen *grins* I will protect you forever and ever!” I blurted out easing the atmosphere. Well, I always say that to her. I tried many times to persuade her watch that Twilight movie ever since but always, she keeps on saying no. So now, I definitely know she doesn’t even know who Edward Cullen is. Anyway, why would I care? As long as I know I will be her Edward, that’s enough for me, all she has to do is allow me… “I will be a vampire, a strong one so I would be able to protect you all the way! I will have my fangs and there will be werewolves and such… or you want to be a werewolf?” I asked her, I know it’s too nonsense for her. She didn’t say anything, that I actually expect but for some reason, I saw her face made some progress, something like she flinched? “It is much better! I’ll be the vampire one and so you’re gonna be werewolf! What do you think?” I continued since I didn’t get any response from her.

But right after I said those words… the first time she looked at me that day, she smiled at me with her eyes forming tears on its corners. Something like, she was expecting me and now that I am here, she’s beyond happy.

“Sica… is there s-something wron-” I was asking her when suddenly out of nowhere, she said something that is far from what I was expecting her to say.

“M-miyoung~ie“

What?

What
