They were both breathless, their skins damp with sweat and .

The sounds of their heavy breathing reverberated across the room, but Taeyeon’s ears were drowning from the fast beating sound against Jessica’s chest.

Dugeundugeun, it sounded like music.

She wanted to ask why Jessica can’t be hers, but that question was already answered long ago.

“I cannot be with anyone and I cannot be anyone’s.. I have to go somewhere far soon and I don’t want to leave scars behind.” Jessica’s answer echoed through her mind.

But she still wanted to ask her why. Maybe just to hear the same answer again, or maybe she hoped that her answer would change. She wasn’t sure herself.

Taeyeon didn’t know where that place is or why Jessica had to go, but she was quite sure that Jessica will leave a lone scar behind.

The thumping against Jessica’s chest slowly calmed down, Taeyeon knew she had already fallen asleep.

She closed her eyes and nuzzled against Jessica’s neck, hoping that the storm in her heart would calm down too.
