Chapter 5

Perfect Coincidences

Once the four girls were finished eating their food Jessica cleared away there plates and began showing them to their rooms. Jessica's flat had three bedrooms; her own room and two guest rooms.

"So there are only two guest rooms each with a double bed." Said Jessica.

"Do you two want to share?" Taeyeon, being the ever caring leader asked Seohyun and Tiffany.

The two other girls looked at each other before Tiffany responded.

"Are you sure you'll be okay on your own Taeyeon?" She inquired.

"Don't worry, Fany. I'll be fine." Taeyeon smiled.

Jessica was once again amazed by the selflessness of Taeyeon, she unconsciously looked at her and smiled.

"Okay, so this is your room." Jessica said as she pointed to the last door along the corridor.

As the girls entered their rooms to get ready Jessica went back to her lounge.

As Tiffany and Seohyun were unpacking their things to get ready to sleep Tiffany remembered Jessica's strange speech from earlier.

'Was she really quoting our songs?' she thought. 

"Seo, can I ask you a question?" Tiffany asked.

Seohyun winked, "You just did."

"You know what I mean." pouted Tiffany.

Seohyun laughs at her friends reaction.

"Sure thing, ask away."

"Did you notice anything weird about Jessica earlier?" She inquired.

Seohyun looked confused, "What do you mean Fany?"

"Well it seemed like she was quoting our song titles in her sentences." She continued.

"But I thought she didn't know who we were?" Seohyun wondered.

"I know right." Tiffany exclaimed, "I think she may actually know who we are."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Seohyun suggested.

"Maybe..."

Jessica sat in her lounge looking at her computer. She was aimlessly scrolling through her social media feed when she noticed a news headline.

Kim Taeyeon spotted in Camden Market

'So that's why they're in Liverpool' she thought. 'They must have had to get out of London pretty quickly if they're trying to keep a low profile.'

Jessica was so deep in her own thoughts that she didn't notice someone walk into the room.

"Oh, hi Jessica."

Upon hearing her name Jessica looked up. To her surprise Taeyeon was stood by the entrance to the room in just a tank top and shorts. Jessica couldn't help but stare at the idol, she was beautiful, the tank top showed off her curves and the shorts left little to the imagination when it came to her legs. 'So that's why she's one of Korea's most beautiful women.' she thought.

"Jessica?" Taeyeon asked. The other girl was staring at her and didn't seem to hear her.

"Jessica? Is there something on my top?" Taeyeon said whilst looking down at her clothes.

On hearing her name a third time Jessica snapped out of her day dream. Her cheeks flushed pink once she realized Taeyeon was looking at her.

"Sorry, don't worry, I just zoned out." Jessica quickly replied, trying to cover up her recent action.

Taeyeon laughed, "Okay, I was starting to get worried. Can I have a glass of water?"

"Sure thing, let me grab one for ypu." Jessica replied.

She got up and beckoned Taeyeon to follow her into the kitchen. Once they both got to the kitchen Jessica found a glass in one of her cupboards before filling it up with water and handing it to Taeyeon.

Once Taeyeon drank her water she turned to Jessica, "Are you sure that this is all okay? Us staying here."

"It's completely fine." Jessica smiled, "It's nice to have some company."

Taeyeon smiled, it was nice to have someone new to talk to. After the three of them came to England there weren't many people any of them could speak to. Tiffany and Seohyun didn't have it that bad as they could speak English well, Taeyeon on the other hand wasn't as confident in her English. Her lack of ability to communicate had made her feel isolated a lot of the time.

"It is nice to be able to speak to someone like this." Taeyeon replied, "My English isn't the best so communicating here isn't very easy."

Jessica couldn't help but feel sorry for Taeyeon. With everything happening to her language barriers must just be another thing to make everything worse than it should be.

"I'm glad I could be of help." Jessica smiled.

Seeing the other girl smile with the sincerity that she did made Taeyeon's heart flutter slightly. 'What was that for?' she thought to herself.

"Are you heading to bed now?" She asked.

"Not yet." Jessica replied, "I was going to watch a movie first."

"Do you mind if I join you?"

"Sure thing." She responded, "I was going to watch Train To Busan. You okay with that?"

Taeyeon nodded, she wasn't the best with horror movies but she had heard that this one was supposed to be really good.

Jessica went to grab some popcorn from her kitchen before the two of them sat down to watch the movie.

 

---------

 

"Ahhh!" They both shouted as a zombie ran onto the screen, popcorn flying everywhere.

Jessica quickly grabbed a pillow to cover her eyes and Taeyeon hid her face in her hands.

'Why did I choose such a scary movie?!' Jessica asked herself. She was making a fool out of herself in front of Taeyeon. She looked over at Taeyeon and noticed that her head was in her hands. It seemed she was as scared as Jessica was. 

Jessica reached across to her other sofa to grab a blanket, she held it out to Taeyeon.

"Looks like you may need this." She joked.

Taeyeon nodded and grabbed the blanket before holding it up to cover her body.

 

---------

 

Both Jessica and Taeyeon focused intently on the screen. The two main characters were having a deep conversation about their children, when suddenly a loud noise was heard as a load of zombies appeared.

Taeyeon jumped out of her skin and quickly buried her face into Jessica's side. Jessica looked down at Taeyeon and her heart started to beat faster at the closeness between them. Taeyeon realized what she was doing and quickly pulled away from Jessica.

"S-s-sorry." She sheepishly stuttered, blushing a deep shade of pink.

Jessica was about to reply when all of a sudden another zombie came onto the screen. They both screamed and jumped into each others arms cowering away from the images before them.

 

---------

 

They both stayed like that until the movie reached its . One of the main characters in the movie died and Jessica started to quietly sob. Taeyeon looked across to the crying girl and reassuringly patted her back.

"Don't be upset." She cooed, "It's just a movie."

"But it's so sad!" Jessica almost wailed.

Taeyeon had to bite her lip to suppress her laughter at the scene before her, 'Who would have thought you could get so emotional watching a horror movie.'

 

---------

 

Soon after the film finished and Jessica stood up to put the leftover popcorn away. Taeyeon looked around the room, it had gotten dark and she was still a little scared from the film. 

Jessica returned before speaking to Taeyeon, "I'm going to head to bed now. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night." Taeyeon replied, as she made her way towards her own bedroom.

Once she got into the room she closed the door and went to lay on the bed. Taeyeon did a sweep of the room just to make sure there were no zombies.

"Pabo!" She scolded herself for being scared, "It was only a movie, there aren't any zombies here."

Taeyeon led back into her pillow and realized how tired she was.

'Today has been peculiar' she thought, as she slowly drifted to sleep.

 

---------

 

Meanwhile, Jessica was lying in bed looking at the ceiling. 

"Today's been a weird day." She said aloud, as she thought back about everything that had happend. 

She laughed to herself at the absurdity of some of the things she had said throughout the day.

"I wonder if they've noticed what I've been doing with the song titles?" Jessica asked no one in particular.

She chuckled to herself as her eyelids grew heavier. 'I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.'
