What it feels like to be heart broken, Jiyeon can't remember it , because it was aged go since her first unspoken love left her a massive heartbreak that she couldn't love anyone , and lived her life fooling around without much faith in love for quite a long time. But if anyone asks her how it feels like to be loved, Jiyeon could spend a day to talk about it now, because word is not enough, and it will take her all day long to explain this heavenly feeling, it is something between dreaming and awaking , no weight below her, and she feels like flying.

Jiyeon can't stop smiling when she wakes up to a new day, she feels a hand resting on her chest and beside her is a sleeping figure, her hair spreads across a white hotel pillow and her face can't be any more closer, there is no gab bewteen their face, when Hyomin moves around in her slumber , Jiyeon holds her breath , hoping she won't wake Hyomin up , she doesn't want anything to take away this beautiful sight before her, as she enjoys watching Hyomin's sleeping face next to her, she wonders how this person can bring her so much happiness .

As far as Jiyeon remembers,  Hyomin left her room in the middle of the night when the medicine started to kick in and she felt a bit sleepy, Hyomin told Jiyeon she would take a spare keycard in case Jiyeon might not feeling well , althought Jiyeon told her that she didn't need to come and check on her , she would let the latter know if she didn't feel right . But sometimes, in early dawn, Jiyeon felt a palm on her forehead, soft touch she never got, it seeped through her every senses, Hyomin was busy working to cool down her fever, Jiyeon was unwell and wasn't fully awake but she could remember all the warmth she was receiving, Hyomin covered her with a warm blanket followed by her warm hug.

Jiyeon's trance is disturbed when Hyomin stirs around, she slowly flips her eyes open, yawning

 

" Oh sorry, I fell asleep" Hyomin says as soon as her eyes meet with Jiyeon's

" No, I don't mind" Jiyeon says

" How are you feeling?" Hyomin is getting up

" I feel so much better" Jiyeon answers

" Your fever is gone" Hyomin puts a back of her hand on Jiyeon's face then moving to her forehead

" Did you sleep well?" Jiyeon asks

" Yep" Hyomin nods shyly

" Thank you for taking care of me" Jiyeon beams

" I can't go home without you" Hyomin says

" Even I have to crawl, I'll do, I won't let you go home alone" Jiyeon is half kidding , but she would really do if she has too.

" Don't say that , I don't feel good about it" Hyomin puts her finger on Jiyeon's mouth stopping her. In her life , Jiyeon never has anyone who ever shows her how she could be cared this much , she takes Hyomin and holds it.

" Thank you really" Jiyeon smiles .

" You're welcome" Hyomin smiles back

Hyomin leaves and goes back to her room to freshen up before she goes to meet Jiyeon for breakfast; She is smiling at her thoughts that run through her head, it's crazy but Hyomin can think of anything now, but Jiyeon. Warm shower feels so relaxing but Hyomin doesn't take long in it, she steps out of out it, getting dress , she can't wait to have breakfast with Jiyeon now.

 

Hyomin arrives at the lobby but Jiyeon isn't there yet, instead, she sees Yebin. Then she remembers , she wasn't going to have a coffee with her before she leaves , Yebin smiles and walks toward her.

 

" Good morning Hyomin ssi" Yebin greets

" How are you Yebin?" Hyomin greets back

" I'm here to meet you" She states

" Ah" Hyomin says

" I'm sorry I didn't give you an advanced notice, I've got something to talk to you" Yebin speaks unconfidently

"No, problem , I'm headed for breakfast , it's good to have you to join us" Hyomin smiles

"Oh are you meeting someone?" Yebin is reluctant if it's a right time now

" Um , my business partner , Jiyeon , a person you met last night" Hyomin tells

" Oh" Yebin says , " Isn't she there?" Yebin looks over Hyomin's shoulder with someone behind her

" Hey , Jiyeon" Hyomin turns around to see Jiyeon

" I'm sorry , I'm late" Jiyeon says ," Am I interrupting you?" Jiyeon asks

" No, you are not " Hyomin denies , " Here is Yebin" Hyomin doesn't forget to reintriduce

" How are you ?" Jiyeon greets

" I'm fine , and how are you feeling?" Yebin asks

" I feel much better" Jiyeon now stands next to Hyomin , talking to Yebin

" I'm glad to hear that" Yebin says

" Thank you again for fixing me" Jiyeon says

" You're very welcome" Yebin says

" Yebin is joining us for breakfast" Hyomin tells Jiyeon

" It's okay, it's not important, I can come and meet you next time , I just drop by , don't worry, please go ahead" Yebin politely rejects

" It's more fun with more people" Jiyeon says

" Yeah, we don't have any business talk today" Hyomin encourages

" Come on, I'm hungry now" Jiyeon cheers up , and Yebin can't say no

 

At breakfast , Yebin feels a bit awkward, she stares at Hyomin and Jiyeon who sits next to each on the other on the other side of the table, she doesn't know why but she feels like these two are more to business partners, even though they don't show something intimate or say anything sweet which indicating they are more than that, but it's the way they silently look at each other , their exchanging smile, or even the way they simply sit next to each other.

 

" So how did come to work here?" Hyomin asks the details

" Oh , a close friend of mine has been working here, she recommended me a job, I was looking for something challenging and new experience of working aboard so I applied , luckily I got accepted" Yebin tells

" It's very motivated of you to step out of your comfort zone" Hyomin praises

" I agree, at your age , this is a very big step working away from home" Jiyeon adds

" I was afraid at first , but there was nothing I could be scared than..." Yebin stops , " Um , than not having a job " She smiles dryly

" Are you happy working here?" Hyomin asks

" Yes, I'm" Yebin doesn't sound convinced, but Hyomin just let it past by

" So how about you ? Yebin asks

" I'm rather busy but it's good" Hyomin says

" How about Jessica ssi , is she doing okay ? Yebin tentatively asks

" She is fine, and she has a nurse with her" Hyomin mentions

" I see" Yebin remembers a nurse Jessica called her name that day

" Oh you have something to talk to me?" Hyomin asks, Yebin is reluctant now

" Ah " Yebin is being anxious, " I just wanted to know if you might want a tour around , I could suggest you places" She comes with a very irrelevant reason as she can't think of any.

" That's very nice of you but I've already got some event planned" Hyomin looks at Jiyeon

" I can move couple things around if you prefer" Jiyeon offers but she hopes Hyomin wouldn't want to change them

" We can go as plan" Hyomin smiles at Jiyeon , " Thank you Yebin, I hope we can do it another time"

" Will you plan on coming back?" Yebin is excited

" Yeah, we will" Hyomin says, her eyes travel to Jiyeon

" I guess we may see you often in the future" Jiyeon says

" I hope so" Yebin says

 

Yebin excuses herself and leaves Hyomin and Jiyeon alone, no matter how she tries to convince herself , she can't make herself believe that they are business items . They may look professional while they talk casually, but their eyes can't lie, but who is Yebin thinks she is to even care about it, she is nothing, she should already be grateful that Hyomin even talks to her , let alone inviting her for breakfast. She believed Jessica hadn't told her about it , and of course she wouldn't when Yebin herself also holds a card that Jessica wouldn't want her to turn it up , but Yebin was feeling bad about it , Hyomin deserves to know it, that was why she considered all night to talk to her but now Yebin knows that Hyomin will come back again , she can save it for later.

 

-------------------------------------------

 

" Are you waiting for Tiffany?" Sooyoung asks as she watches Jessica looking out to the main gate

" Can't I look out of the window of my house?" Jessica throws a sarcasm

" Of course you can" Sooyoung responds with a little sarcasm too

" Just in case you may want to know , Tiffany called me informing that she may not coming back tonight, she has to stay with her friend , she tried to call you but you didn't answer the phone" Sooyoung informs

" Thanks , I left my phone in my study room" Jessica acts like she doesn't care but actually she feels disappointed , she moves away then to her study room.

Jessica checked on her phone to find 5 missed calls and couple messages saying the same things Sooyoung has told her. She doesn't want to make Tiffany feel restless so she replies :

Jessica sent  : No worries, please spend sometimes with your friend , she needs you the most now, let's me know if you may need anything I can help, and don't worry about me , my sister is coming home, I'll be fine

Jessica puts her phone away, she is thinking of a person who left many hours ago. Tiffany got a phone call with a sad news that her best friend’s grandma just passed away so Tiffany asked a permission to take leave to go to see her friend and stay with her.

Jessica sighs, she is used to silence but now a non-stop talker implants a new habit to her, Jessica feels lonely again, but not so long , when she hears a ring from her phone , it draws Jessica to a small device , she smiles .

 

" Hey, how are you ?" Jessica makes her voice lively

" I'm fine, and you? What are you doing ?" Hyomin calls

" I'm good , just sitting around" Jessica answers

" Go play with Tiffany " Hyomin recommends

" She is not around" Jessica's voice is dropping

" Isn't she with you ?" Hyomin asks , concerned

" She had to leave and stay with her friend who just lost her grandma" Jessica tells

" I see " Hyomin

" But don't worry , I'm good " Jessica doesn't want Hyomin to worry

" I'm coming home tomorrow" Hyomin assures

" I'm waiting for you to come home" Jessica says

" Do you need anything from here ?" Hyomin asks

" No , I don't, just come home safe, that's all I want" Jessica says

" I will " Hyomin responds

 

Hyomin keeps her sister company on the phone longer than she original planned, she knows when Jessica is lonely , and she hopes chatting with her would make her feel better Hyomin tells her sister how beautiful the island is and how she wished Jessica could come , she talks about work related and couple of things she found interesting in this place , however she makes a mental note not to mention about her unexpected meeting with Yebin but then Jessica asks her about Jiyeon

 

" So how is working with Park Jiyeon ?" Jessica asks

" Uh, it's not bad " Hyomin totally forgot about this, she avoids talking about Jiyeon at all

" Did you guys spend time together rather than meeting ?" Jessica is curious

" Um, not really " Hyomin lies

" She seems like a nice person, you should make friend with her" Jessica suggests

" Do you want me to be friend with her?" Hyomin asks

" It doesn't hurt to befriend with a business partner, as long as she doesn't hit on you then it's a different story" Jessica laughs , but her joke doesn't make Hyomin laughs

" She wouldn't" Hyomin swallows her words hard

" I'm just joking , I know you won't date someone like her, she looks quite smart but I doubt if she is good enough for you , beside I find it hard to approve you to date someone you work with , because it won't work" Jessica reasons rather negatively

" Why do you think so ?" Hyomin approaches with her question

" Faithful person is hard to find, my sister, business is business and I don't want you to get hurt again" Jessica caringly warns, " Also I would love to have my
