Hwarin's POV

I barely saw anything. It was all black. It was nothing to see, no Hyejeong, no Jeong, no Seolhyun and no anyone. I could only hear a soft yet worry voice calling for my name rapidly and a pair of hands were shaking my body, not so hard. 

Slowly opened my eyes and closed it back. I squeezed it for seconds before attempted to open it again. I squinted due to shine light illuminated through my eyes. 

I saw a little girl above of me. was moving. Her eyes were beautiful with that brown orbs that I adored to look at. Her hair was black in colour. 

Soyeon. The little girl that I used to have crush on. The little girl that used to reject me. Why was she here? What was she doing here? Was I back to my childhood?

I blinked one time, then I saw no more Soyeon but... Jessica. Her lips were pink and looked kissable, they were moving. Her hair was slightly wavy at the end and dyed. There was frown on her eyebrows and a bit of tears formed on her eyes. Wondered why she was frowning? Why she was crying? 

I blinked again many times, and I could see Soyeon and Jessica occasionally within my blinking. I was breathing heavily. And when it came to Jessica, I stopped blinking. Her voice slowly invaded my ears.

"Hwarin" I gave her faint smile "Are you okay? You look pale"

I nodded and patted her arm that wrapped around my shoulder. She buried her face on my neck as she cried. 

"I'm worried" She whispered.

I didn't remember what happened before I collapsed on my office couch. I didn't remember why my face was pale. I didn't remember why my heart hummering in my chest, but it wasn't because of anything else, it because of fear, I was sure. And I didn't remember I ever invited Jessica to my office. 

She lifted her head and cupped my cheeks with her hands. She gave gentle caress with her thumbs and I closed my eyes. I didn't know why I closed my eyes. It was just feel right to close it. 

"I'll drive you home" She offered. 

I just nodded without opened my eyes, afraid if I opened them I would see Soyeon again. She was like my nightmare. She was the reason of my experiencing hell. I didn't hate her, but I just didn't want to meet her again, even in my second life.

Sounds of foot walked back and forth in the living room. Handphone attached to ear. Hyejeong was wearing her worried expression. She tried to call her wife many times but no vail. It was always led her to voicemail. 

The fact that Hwarin didn't answer her call the whole day terrified her. 

Door's bell rang, Hyejeong almost immediately ran to the front door. She opened it and saw Hwarin wrapped her hand on a woman's -standing close beside her their heads were touching- shoulder. 

"May we come in first? I don't think I can't hold any longer" The woman said only to bring Hyejeong back to her sense.

She didn't utter any words. She moved aside to let the woman brought her wife in. She closed the door and grapped Hwarin's the other hand. 

"Is it okay if we lay her in the couch?"

"Yes" Hyejeong fixed the pillow and the woman let go of Hwarin to lay on the couch slowly. Hyejeong placed her hand on the back of her wife's head and laid her down. 

Hyejeong went to their bedroom to grab a blanket and when she came back she saw the woman caressed Hwarin's cheek with the back of her hand. It was lying when her heart didn't react to that skinship the woman made. 

She clearer and covered Hwarin with the blanket. 

The woman stood up. She smiled at Hyejeong and stretched her hand. "Jessica. I'm her business partner"

Hyejeong eventually brought her
