Chapter 27
The Exiled Ice Princess
I never thought that it would happen. She really liked me? Oh Yul.
Jessica went straight back to her office after the incident. She locked herself in to do some
thinking over the situation she’s currently at. Sitting comfortably on her leather seat, facing
the wall, she reminisced all her memories with Yuri.
Their trainee days: how they comfort each other from all the exhausting practices and heart-
stopping weekly evaluations they have gone through. Their debut days: how they lift each
other’s spirits whenever they are judged after every performance onstage.
She also reminisced their interactions in the dormitory. Whenever she murmurs that she’s
hungry, Yuri then goes to the kitchen and cooks for her. Whenever she wants to go shopping
and then goof around, Yuri is there. Whenever she cries, Yuri comforts her. Whenever she
achieved something, no matter how little its significance, Yuri wants to celebrate for her.
In every significant point of her life, Yuri’s there.
Standing up the seat, she muttered:
“Aish.. What’s with that kid? Hi~ing!...”
Out of frustration, Jessica walked towards the glass wall and talked to the person in front her;
seeking comfort from her own reflection.
“Why did she have to say that? Why did she admit it? Is it true?
Of course Jessica it’s true! She even looked at you straight in the eyes.
Well, she didn’t say it. Her nod must mean something else....right?
You know that’s not true. Don’t lie to yourself. Aisshhh...
What should I do? Hiiisssh.”
She let out a heavy sigh of frustration while stomping her feet on the tiled floor.
Her heart seemed to be in some kind of turmoil.
“errrr.. I only asked her that to find out her true feelings for Tiffany! Huh, instead I
received her confession. Stupid Jessica! You should’ve asked her about
Tiffany first! Aissh..stupid!”
Her phone was ringing for the third time now. She only glanced at it and then continued
her confrontation with herself.
“Why haven’t you noticed her true feelings before? Her behavior was
so obvious! C’mon Jessica, why are you so blind?
I don’t know, okay brain? I’m sorry if I was so blind before...and even until earlier.”
Jessica’s eyes were now teary. Accepting defeat kind of hurts a little bit.
“huh! Maybe because of Taeyeon? Tss. You were so busy in getting her attention
that you neglect the efforts that the others are exerting for you. Real shame, Jessica.”
Straight to the point. Her tears started to fall down.
“Haha bingo, brain! You got it right. Thank you for reminding me of that huge mistake
I committed stupidly before. *hiks* If only I could turn back time *hiks*, I wouldn’t want
to waste it again for Taeyeon.”
Her rant and self-blame lasted for only an hour, and would most likely to continue until the
sun sets, thanks to Krystal’s sudden visit on her office.
“Unnie, why are your eyes puffy and your hair’s all muzzled up?”
Krystal curiously asked to Jessica. Worry evident on her face.
“I went for a crazy type of look. It turns out it’s not suitable for me. Oh well, I’ll just stick
to my ice princess look *winks*. Haha”
Krystal was clearly not buying her excuse.
“Liar. Spill it.”
“Yah jinjja. I practiced acting like a crazy person talking-to-herself awhile ago, just before you invaded my space.
You know, just in case I will be offered for such kind of role in a drama in the future.”
Well it’s somewhat true, Jessica thought. She was really like a crazy person awhile ago. Hahaha
“Okay fine. You are such a bad liar unnie. But in case you change your mind, you can always
share it to me. I’m always here for you *blushes*. Just one call and I’ll be there. Hihi.
Oh right! You didn’t even pick up my calls earlier. How could you? *pouts*”
“I was practicing remember? Hehe Love you sis! Anyways, what brought you here?”
Krystal’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Unnieeeee.. I was offered as a lead actress on a drama! Wohoooo”
“Wow really? *pretends not to know* Good job Soojung-ah!” she patted Krystal’s head.
“Yah Unnie *takes Jessica’s hand off her head and held it in front of her*, I wasn’t here
to inform you. I was here to Thank you. You’re the CEO to the company I’m working at,
you should know.”
Krystal let go of Jessica’s hand and wrapped herself to Jessica for a tight hug.
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity to act again. And on top of that, I am the lead.
I’m so grateful that you are my boss.”
“You should be. Haha tsk for all I know you are happy because you’ll be surrounded by
Rain and L. Just admit it.”
“Haha majha. And because of that I love you more.”
“Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, and Yuri will form a sub-unit named SHY.
I already informed them and they were happy about it. They will debut soon.
Tiffany is now busy attending fashion events in New York, photo shoots and promoting plenty
of brands are on her lists right now. Seohyun has musical offers on her hands.
She’ll be a huge star in the musical theater field in no time. And for Sunny, she is now active
in various variety shows and, of course, in her own radio program. Lastly, Yoona is currently
filming a movie in China. There are many drama and movie projects planned for her.
So don’t worry. All of the members are settled now as you instructed."
“What about Taeyeon? Anything for her?”
“Oh uhm.. You didn’t say anything about her. Hmm..She did good on her solo debut,
I figured she’ll have a comeback in the future...?”
“Hmmm let me think about it first. I’ll decide. Meanwhile, send her to have a duet with me
in the upcoming music festival. But don’t inform her about me. I’ll just let you know about
the song we’re going to sing. And who knows, I might let her do a comeback in the future.”
“Okaay...but how can you practice in that kind of setting?”
“Don’t worry Mr. CEO. We’ll blend perfectly.”
