Monday came and it would be Jessica and Clinton's first date. Yoona had no choice but to accept that fact as it was said that if they want their relationship going, Jessica have to go to that dates or not, Jessica would be forced to marry. 
 
"Clinton .." 
 
"Yes?" 
 
"You do know that we'll only date 10 times, right?" 
 
"Yes. Uncle said so. Is there a problem?" 
 
"If I don't go on dates with you, dad is going to force me to marry you." 
 
"Then marry me" Answered Clinton without the hint of a joke 
 
"And that's the problem" 
 
"Why is marrying me a problem? It would satisfy uncle's wants too." 
 
"But it won't satisfy mine." 
 
"Why?" 
 
"I have someone now. I'm dating someone else" 
 
"That's okay with me." 
 
"But that doesn't apply to that someone. We love each other. That someone is my world now, my happiness. And that someone wouldn't be okay with sharing. And so I would be. I don't want to be shared. Let's not make it hard Clint. There's a lot of girls around the world beside me. Choose whoever you might like, but not me." 
 
"Do you love him?" 
 
"Yes." Was Jessica's answer without any hesitation in it 
 
"How much do you love him?" 
 
"No words can express how much I truly feel for my love. But if I were going to be poetic in answering that one, I'll say, to the moon." 
 
"Isn't that to the moon and back?" 
 
"If you have the one you love on the moon, there's nothing left to go back" 
 
"…" 
 
"I know you're a nice guy Clint. I know you since we're 7. But I can't see you in a different light; Even if we would have hundred dates. For me, you're just a friend I used to play with. Nothing more. And even if you put your efforts to me, it would be futile. I love my significant other. And if given the chance or I could, I would shout it out to world for them to know that  my love is mine. My love is too good for me" 
 
"You could shout it out to the world but uncle doesn't even know about him" 
 
"It's complicated. We believe that everything takes time. But we will tell daddy about us too." 
 
"What if uncle doesn't agree?" 
 
"The world doesn't revolve in one direction. Daddy couldn't disagree forever. We'll give him all the reason why his agreement wouldn't be wasted." 
 
"Your someone, What does he possess that makes you love him?" 
 
"My someone possess something others don't. Giving me a reason to smile just as I woke up, scared to be sick because I know she'll be worried sick. I feel safe and secure. And the most important thing, she makes me the happiest. I know I may sound cheesy or putting my someone in a good light, but that's what I could really feel and how she really is" 
 
Date ends there. More like an heart to heart talk at Namsan Tower. Clinton wanted to send Jessica home but the latter insisted on going home alone. Jessica told him that it's okay and it wouldn't change anything whether he gets to send her home or not. 
 
"Yoongie~" 
 
"Yoongie~" Jessica called the moment she reached home but the said choding is nowhere to be seen 
 
"Look at this choding. She said she doesn't have an schedule already but is nowhere to be found." She checked her phone in case Yoona have left her a message to where could she be found or something. But she found it rare when she have no message from Yoona so she messaged her first. 
 
'Yoongie~ I'm already home. Where are you?' 
 
 
 
 
Midnight came and Jessica did all her works she took home from the office and finished a movie but Yoona isn't home yet. 
 
'Yoongie, Aren't you going home? I'm going to lock the doors already. You have your keys in case you want to go home, right?' But before she could send the draft message, Someone was at the door, Yoona was at the door. Jessica checked what time is it first before opening the door for Yoona who basically isn't coming in yet 
 
"12:00. You're really Yoonderella huh" 
 
"Yoo--" Yoona fell on her. "You're drunk." She helped Yoona to get inside the house. "You reek too much. Why did you drink so much?" She remarked and pinching her nose. Helping Yoona to get inside and to throw the Yoona on the bed was an easy task. But the changing of clothes part, was the thing Jessica found challenging. Yoona keep on swatting her hand away. 
 
"Yoongie you need to change to a more comfortable clothes" 
 
"Sorry. I'm .. drunk. But ... please don't .. take advantage." 
 
"What advantage? It's me sooyeonie. I'm going to change your clothes" 
 
"I'm taken .. I have a girlfriend .." managed to said the drunk Yoona but Jessica still wants to change her clothes. She only stopped trying when she heard Yoona's mumble. "I love her very much" 
 
- 
'Goodmorning :) Hurry and take a bath! You stink :P Why did you drink so much though? But anyway, I know you won't have an appetite yet and would only eat cereals. So, let's eat dinner together.' Was the written message in the sticky note stickered on her forehead 
 
"I think I really drank a lot" Yoona knocked her forehead a couple of times while heading to the kitchen. She took some cereals in a bowl then settled on the couch with the TV on. 
 
"Who took me home though?" Was the first question that processed in her mind while eating her cereals 
 
"What happened?" Hoggy barked 
 
"There is no way I'm going to talk to you" Yoona looked at hoggy who barked again 
 
"Don't act as if you know the answer to my questions" This time, hoggy went up to her, before her arm 
 
"What do you want?" Yoona asked and hoggy went near the door "Walk? I'm not in the mood hoggy. Let's walk tomorrow or maybe later at night. Not now okay?" Hoggy sat at the door with her tongue out "Gee Yoona, You can understand the dog and the dog understands you. You'll be crazy soon" 
 
 
- 
 
"Yoongie, I'll be home a little late. Don't skip your meals. And, Do you plan to get drunk again?" Jessica called to inform her girlfriend that she'd be working overtime 
 
"A friend invited me out" 
 
"Can't you pass? Stop drinking Yoong. It's not healthy. You've gone home drunk-beat thrice for this week. I'll tell your dad about it" 
 
"Tell him what?" 
 
"That you've been drinking TOO much the past few days." 
 
"Don't! He'll nag at me again." 
 
"Why are you drowning yourself with alcohol? Is it Clinton? I just realized that you've been going out the same time I'm out with him. If me not seeing him would stop you from drinking too much, then I would choose to ditch the remaining dates left" 
 
"What? No! I won't let you stop from dating him. Then what? Marry that jerk? No way!" 
 
"And then what?! For the 6 more dates coming, you'll be drowning yourself with alcohol? Do you know how much damage it would cause you?" 
 
"I love you." 
 
"Yoongie, I was telling you about the damage alcohol would cause you" 
 
"I said, I love you" 
 
"I love you too. But .." 
 
"Stop at the too. As long as I love you, I won't do things that wouldn't benefit us. Trust me as much as how much I trust you that you're only dating him because you have to and not want to." 
 
"But Yoongie …" 
 
"Do you love me?" 
 
"Of course I do" 
 
"Then trust me, alright?" 
 
"Alright. Bye. I love you" 
 
"I love you too. Very much." 
 
 
- 
 
"Miss Jung, A guy named Clinton is waiting for you at the lobby" Her assistant, Cherry, came in after knocking thrice at her office 
 
"Can I hug you?" Asked the crying in the corner Jessica. Then Cherry immediately welcomed Jessica in her arms. Cherry was tapping and drawing circles on Jessica's back as Jessica cries a little more. "Thanks." said Jessica as she wipe off her tears that was left 
 
"No problem" Cherry smiled 
 
"Please tell him that I'll be going down in a few" 
 
Jessica fixed her look first before she came down. She was kinda gloomy though. 
 
"So, Where are we going?" Jessica tried to pull whatever she has to smile 
 
"You're sad" 
 
"No, it's okay." 
 
"Well, I planned for us to eat at this barbeque all you can restaurant" 
 
"Then let's go?" 
 
"But, Let's go back to how we usually are before." 
 
"What?"
