AUTHOR'S POV

Pain is evident in her face. But she choose to ignore it because she didn't have the rights. She is in deep thoughts and everyone could tell. 

"Jessica, are you okay?" It was Seohyun who distracted her from her train of thoughts.

She smiled before the Seohyun would think otherwise. But the truth is, she is not fine. She will never be fine. How could this happen so smoothly? She expected disgust or negative remarks will be thrown at them if they would knew, but the opposite happens. When Yoona blurted out who Tiffany is in her life, yes they were all shocked, but eventually they accepted it and ask as if it is the most natural thing happening in the world. 

It's funny how life would play their path. Maybe they are right, unexpected things happened most of the times.

"What's your take on it?" 

"Huh?" The confused Jessica ask.

"You knew what I mean." Amber said.

They are now behind the locker door. Just the two of them.

"What should I say? Yoona seems...." She paused. 

"And you're not doing anything about it? Aren't you taking it as a sign to go out and have a fair fight with that bubbly girl?"

"Amber...."

"I always thought that you love Yoona, Jessica. I don't see anymore reason for you to be that coward and hide and bury this homeless love you have. Yoona is not someone you would keep behind closed doors. She is a wonderful person  She deserves better."

"Why are you saying that?"

"I'm also your friend but I completely understand Yoona's feeling. It's just that, since you can't fight for your love with her, you shouldn't be acting and thinking of the 'what if' scenarios. Just let Yoona go. You don't even have the rights to 

act all jealous and think what could possibly happen if you 

 Tiffany."

"Are you saying that I should give up?"

"I'm saying you should stop."

Amber leave Jessica alone in the locker. Staring at nowhere. 

JESSICA'S POV

You must be curious what I'm feeling now. It's funny how things happened like this. Honestly, I don't even know what to feel. I lost every single feelings and emotions since the day I started agreeing with Dong Hae and let him hold my neck just like that. Since then, I'm like a living dead.

This whole thing with Yoona made a rollercoaster emotion in my life. It has taken away a lot of things from me. Most especially her. My choding.

It pains me seeing her with tiffany. You must be telling I don't have the rights to do that. But I do. I actually do. 

It hurts me when she declared Tiffany hers.

Being all so protective and possessive so that no one will take a step closer with the latter.

Being so out and open.... Even if it would cause the whole world turn it back against you...Instead, she receive acknowledgement and now the whole world accepted her.. with Tiffany.. and that should be me....

A week after.....

"Ever since that girl Tiffany showed up, I also see Yoona back to her gleeful self, right, Soo?" Seo asked while wiping the mugs.

Soo Looked first before resonding, being careful of what she's about to say. "I guess, you're right. Tiffany would manage to visit everyday, i mean, it's been almost a week and they both being sweet and cuddly." She said while looking at me whose wiping the menu card.

"Good for her, I never imagined her to be this bold. I never even imagine her being gay." Seo commented

"You didn't know?!" Soo exclaimed then abruptly closed " mouth.

"You mean you knew?" Sehun but in since he is already done with his works. 

It's just 11 in the morning and there's no customers yet so their free to do what they want. Since Yoona is the counter girl and no transaction to be done, she just stayed outside talking to Tiffany.

"I never said a thing." Soo denied her claim.

"But you just blurted it out!" Sehun said irritably.

"Yah! I just thought she is Okay? The way she is super close with Jessica. So chill!" She defended.

"Oh yeah, Jessica, there's nothing going on between the two of you, right?" Sehun asked.

I was taken back. This whole thing right after Tiffany showed up is working the whole of me. It's getting on my nerve. Why she has to visit here? Doesn't she have works to do?

"No, there's nothing going on. We're just super close." I manage to say without tearing apart. A part of me wanted to run away as I glanced at them, busy talking, busy being sweet.

"Oh, that's right. You have Dong Hae. How's everything?!" Sehun asked again..

Sometimes, I wanted to strangle his neck so that he would stop asking insensitive questions.

"He's picking her up today, right, Jessica?" Seo said.

I nodded in confirmation. And smiled weakly. I noticed Amber looked at me meaningfully, I averted my gaze. I can't take it. I felt betrayed. I felt that the world left me. .

I looked again at Yoona. She left me. And it's not sinking in my head.

Suddenly, Yoona went inside and punch some orders.

"Seo-baby? Two venti frappé. One is java chocochip and the other is strawberry flavored. For take out please." Yoona called out without looking.

"Aye aye!" Seo gladly prepared the order
