"Go get a freaking job so we can pay our rent! You are no longer eighteen, for heaven's sake. Jessica Jung, you're 25."

"Soo Jung, ever considered what being a professional gamer could mean?"

"You and your League of Legends are so over. If your mother knew how you're living your life, she would be inconsolable."

"Soo Jung, stop with your exaggerated story. Calm down, baby. Keep in mind that I'm the one paying for your gorgeous evening gowns for Soo Hyuk. By the way, I've moved from League of Legends to Dota 2.

"Oh, please, come on. Min Hyuk, unnie, was his name."

"Don't condemn me for it. Usually it's you who brings a group of boyfriends."

---

Her life is not that awesome to describe. What else? She has a younger sister who is more successful than her, got herself a lot of branded things, not Jessica going to argue about and also, manages to pay for their rent monthly.

She knows.

As the elder, she supposed to take care the younger. But, she has been putting a lot of effort in raising the younger and she missed a lot of opportunity to care about herself. She herself looked like a hobo with her sweaters which she found it from her closet 5 years ago. She never dreams to go to some high class mall, pay enough money for her makeup and hair, putting herself in good statues and many more.

It just, she has been putting a lot of things for Soo Jung, not she’s going to complained.

She knows that Soo Jung just pay concerned on her confused sister, which she confused with herself as well.  And she knows Soo Jung must be proud of her.

Even though, Soo Jung has a high amount pay, she didn’t push her sister to buy some new clothes just like she saw in some catalog. She knows Soo Jung has pay her sorry for their apartment and she’s not going to ask for more from Soo Jung.

Soo Jung got her life too and she try to being understandable.

 

“Soo Jung.”

“What?”

“Do you know, my secret weapon has been sold?”

“You mean, your secretly heaven thingy?”

“Yeah.”

“How much then?”

“It’s enough to pay for your new dress and your new shoes.”

“Holy … Why some gamers on Dota2 spends their money on something that so stupid? But hey, you get the money.”

 

 

Jessica has been doing a lot of work to raise her sister before. She has been working as guard on some company, a dancer, a singer (but getting kicked out since she’s always late for practice because she needs to fetch Soo Jung from school) and many more. But else, she just love her new job as a professional gamer in her apartment.

Soo Jung once called all of the buyer in Dota2 is stupid, but she never said that thing when Jessica’s paid up her evening dresses and shoes with that ‘stupid buyer’ money. Jessica herself, didn’t manage to buy her own clothes as she say, those clothes are too decent for her. Yeah, she’s countryside girl if the neighbors ask her about her lamest clothes.

She’s fine.

As long Soo Jung is happy and Jessica will be more than happy to keep the happiness lingered in their apartment.

Jessica has been doing a lot of thing for Soo Jung.

And she never thought about doing the same thing she did to Soo Jung to herself. She just never did.

Jessica swears, how come this handsome clad boss of Soo Jung is actually talking  to  her and here she is, sitting in front of the boss, hoodie on and also her glasses that actually make she looks like a Harry Potter from the fictional character.

Soo Jung is surely working for something in undercover. She couldn’t help but feel awed when she’s saw how professional Soo Jung looks in her beautiful dresses as the private sectary to this handsome clad. While looking at herself, Jessica assumes that she must look alike hobos from the street. She’s not going to argue it.

When she’s first lay her feet in those gigantic building, the guards even threw her a weird look like, “Miss Jung, why are you bringing a hobos?” and they never offered her a warm smile. And so, Jessica keep up a far distance from Soo Jung cause she’s know that Soo Jung must be embarrassed to have a hobos as her sister.

But Soo Jung quickly pull her hands back as she feel her sister is getting farther than her. With her hands tangling with her sister’s hand, Soo Jung sternly said, “I don’t even like they’re thinking you hobos because you are my sister. You are my sister and I proud of that. Stop looking so down at yourself!” Soo Jung hissed, scowling hard on her face

Even though she looks so hard, Jessica couldn’t help but to pinch her sisters cheek. “Aww, you’re quite cute, Soo Jung. I love you!” Jessica said, grinning like a idiots.

 

 

 

 

“Emm, Miss Jung?” Soo Jung’s handsome boss call her and Jessica was surprised when she didn’t see any Soo Jung’s or any other persons in the room. Except she and Soo Jung’s handsome boss who was sitting in front of her, smiling all cheerily.

He looks nice. Soo Jung told her that her boss was nice, except when he hasn’t received any report from the workers and he actually might turning himself into some crazy Frankenstein. And Soo Jung did said that her boss is actually not a random playboy as Soo Jung used to think that her boss was a gay.

With that, Soo Jung successfully makes Jessica goes on interview as an intern even the elder doesn’t have any experienced about being an intern. Sure does. Jessica knows how to use the computer, if it’s installed with Steam.

And now, here she was. Sitting with Soo Jung’s boss.

 

“Soo Jung told me that you are her sister, is it correct?” He ask, all casually. This doesn’t look like an interview, Jessica whispers.

“Yeah. The one and only.”

“What are you doing for living?”

“Emm, working?”

“I get it, but what kind of working?”

“Randomly. Sometimes, I am a guard. Sometimes, I am a teacher at the nursery, sometimes, I am the delivery girl and many more. And recently, I have start my new career as a professional gamer in Dota2.” Jessica said, all smiling. She’s trying to be honest.

Surprisingly, Soo Jung’s boss didn’t laugh like she expects he will.

 

 

“You are something.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“Yes. You are hard working, Soo Yeon.”

Somehow, it makes Jessica blushing in red. “T-thank you, Soo Jung’s boss.” She stuttered.

“Baekhyun will do.” He said, introducing himself while extending his hands out. “I like you. As a person.”

“Well, everyone hates me, Mr Baekhyun.”

Baekhyun groaned. “Call me Baekhyun, did I said before?”

“But it doesn’t ring a bell, then. You are my sisters boss.”

“I got you a job.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

“And why you have to follow me, Byun Baekhyun? I can walk, you know?” Jessica scoffed in disbelieve, but not she will bail out Baekhyun from following her to shopping. Recently, Baekhyun has been all giddy to follow her to everywhere.

He said, it was dangerous for Jessica to walk alone and Jessica needs someone to protect her. With a laugh, she simply said she didn’t need it and Baekhyun still make a way to be her new bodyguard.

“Because I was all lovelorn for you?” Baekhyun tilted his head cutely. He hadn’t wore his business attire which Jessica was so grateful for that because , are you serious a businessman is dating a hobo like her? But Baekhyun doesn’t care about that and he will just go all away to follow Jessica.

Sometimes, Jessica wonder.

How come her life has been changing since the last meeting with Baekhyun?

 

 

 

“I got you a job.” Baekhyun said, smiling warmly.

“What job? I thought I will be working here as an intern.” Jessica said, stating the fact she’s heard from Soo Jung.

“Not an intern really.”

“Then, where are you going to put me, Mr Baekhyun?”

“Wouldn’t you mind if I date you?”

 

 

 

 

“Excuse me? I need to vomit.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Since when you like pink?” Baekhyun tapped her shoulder when Jessica have been staring or more like zooning out about her first encounter with the weird guy like Baekhyun.

“I don’t. It just… I think, it’s pretty for Soo Jung.” She commented, taking a close look about the new bomber jacket in pink.

“I think you are more than beautiful with this, Jessica. Stop thinking about other. It’s all for yourself.”

“She’s not others, Baek. She’s my sister.”

“Well yeah, you have been giving up on so many things that you wanted to done in your whole life just to sacrificing your life for Soo Jung. You had the opportunity to do all things that you wanted to do. Do it and be happy.” Baekhyun slowly talk with his eyes in Jessica.

This is why Jessica agrees with the offer. It’s not about Baekhyun’s money or wealth, but Jessica just loved how beautiful his eyes was and his delicate fingers that caused an electricity if he touches her. She loved how warm Baekhyun when he used to being all giddy and hug him.

Baekhyun is lonely. And he needs someone to hug, to kissed, to talk and even, to love. To Baekhyun, Jessica fits everything he needs in persons and he was more than ready to love her with all of his heart.

Was Baekhyun fall in love at the first sight? Baekhyun admits.

He just love how serious yet innocent Jessica looks when he paid attention to those beautiful jaw who’s been hidden with her ugly shirt and hoodies. He just loved how responsible Jessica is toward Soo Jung, his private sectary for 3 years.

 

 

“You are going to be bald for paying up for me, Baekhyun.”

“Bake me a nice Red Velvet cake and I don’t mind if you take my plantinum credit card tonight.”

 

 

Baekhyun suggest that they should live together as a couple and Jessica never sees that as a big no. She move in and Baekhyun is more than happy for having her in his house or rather castle. Baekhyun lives alone and he needs someone to talk cause he likes to talk. Jessica just can only argue with him every time he manages to interrupt her in baking session.

Baekhyun is cute and she couldn’t help to laugh at his stupid actions towards her.

Baekhyun is romantic, cheesy and kind. What’s more she’s needed?

“It’s nice. I finally have someone to talk and to take care.” Baekhyun said, helping himself a third serving of the Red Velvet cake.

“Do you really need company that much?” Jessica asked. And wow, she never knew living with someone whose was stranger is actually a good one? She’s lucky because Baekhyun is a nice man with a nice background except his talkative is making Jessica all tired.

Baekhyun smiles.

“I used to be all alone in my entire life.”

“I’m sorry.”

Baekhyun brushes his finger on hers. “Don’t be sorry. It’s not your fault anyway,” he said, wiping the cream for Jessica.

Baekhyun got a looks, money and all of the other things that screams perfectionist, but why will he choose the hobo one instead he just can date Soo Jung? That question had been lingered nowhere but in her mind recently. As on cue, Baekhyun will explain to her about how much cute she is, how much caring she is and he loved the way she’s being understandable toward Soo Jung.

Taking care of Baekhyun is surely hard enough, same thing happened to Soo Jung too. She need to iron his clothes, cook his some nice breakfast, lunch and also dinner and always be there when he need someone to talk.

The difference of taking care the two was, Soo Jung never said thank you while Baekhyun says thank you every time she’s done something with a kiss. And too be honest, it’s make Jessica all giddy and shy.

Baekhyun is special, for the first time.

 

 

“Baek, which one do you want to wear?” Jessica ask, plopping herself in Baekhyun’s room. Baekhyun has been kind enough to let Jessica sleeps with him, but the girl politely refuse and Baekhyun have to prepare another room for Jessica.

Jessica will be always seeing Byun Baekhyun with his damp hair and also, a cute pout every time he asked for a kiss. Baekhyun is too cute to handle.

Jessica come up next with a towel on her hand and start drying Baekhyun’s hair with the towel. Eventually, Baekhyun will hum into some sweet songs before asking Jessica to copy after that. And Jessica will let her audible laugh, just enough to make Baekhyun happy before he change into another song.

“Did you shampoo your hair?” Jessica ask, wiping and drying Baekhyun’s bleached hair. The younger man is trying to experimenting with all of those color on his hair. Jessica has told him about the danger of bleaching and Baekhyun will nods in cute manner.

“Yeah. Why?”

“Nothing. It just smells great.”

“I smell great every day.”

“Shut up.”

“I’ll be back at lunch hour.”

“You’re back every time it’s lunch.”

Baekhyun smiles before burying his face on Jessica’s side waist. Jessica feel tickles but she didn’t push Baekhyun away. Her hands is still busying with Baekhyun’s damp hair.

 

 

“I just don’t want you to spend lunch alone without anyone.”

“It’s fine really, Baek. I’m okay with no one.”

“It’s not. Since you got me.”

Somehow, it makes Jessica blush. She slapped Baekhyun’s forehead twice and Baekhyun groans in playful manner. Baekhyun is great in making someone blush with his crazy yet corny remark. Jessica used to hate all those corny pickup line, but she loved it when Baekhyun said it. Baekhyun loved to show his love often with words and action. Baekhyun was right; he is all lovelorn for Jessica.

Jessica still didn’t understand how Baekhyun is actually falls in love with her at the first time. The first thing she’s confused and how come Baekhyun is not thinking that Jessica is a hobos at their first time encounter? Even Soo Jung used to think that she’s living with a hobo!

 

 

GD is right; love is blind.

 

 

“There you go.” Jessica said, all done with Baekhyun’s hair. Baekhyun finally remove his head from Jessica’s side waist and stands beside her. He pressed his lips gently on her lips before winking.

“Want to go shopping after this?”

“You are working today. And I am not your wife, dear Mr Byun.”

“After six, okay? Yes, you are my wife.”

“Uh, it’s not legal.”

“You wanted to make it legal then?”

“Not funny. Go to your work.”

Jessica honestly will kick this bloody if Baekhyun doesn’t stop her from hitting some strangers who sprawled so beautifully on Baekhyun’s couch that afternoon. Thank god Baekhyun showing up; saving his own brother from getting beaten up by Jessica.

Turn out, the beautiful stranger is actually Baekhyun’s brother, Sehun. Baekhyun didn’t like Sehun, Jessica assume that. Baekhyun practically rolled his eyes when Sehun is whining cutely for extra carrots with Jessica. Jessica think, Sehun’s whine is cute and she pinch his cheek, earning a glare from Baekhyun.

Baekhyun didn’t like Sehun at all.

In general, Sehun looks more matured than Baekhyun. Sehun is taller than Baekhyun, Sehun is matured by his looks except his cute lisp. While Baekhyun on other hand is boyish; guess looks can be deceiving. Even Baekhyun is older than Sehun.

 

 

“I don’t like you pay that much attention to Sehun,” Baekhyun commented, crossing his arm before pouting cutely. Jessica didn’t talk to much to Baekhyun today because Sehun is being all giddy with her. Sehun is adorable and he reminds her of her beautiful sister, Soo Jung.

“He’s your brother, Baek.” Jessica replied.

“I don’t like it any little bit.”

Jessica sighed. “Baek, I’m sorry. He’s just too damn cute.”

Baekhyun turns away finally before silently walks away to his working room. Baekhyun will always finish up his office work in there and Jessica wouldn’t bother him if he is working. Even though Baekhyun like Jessica showing up regularly in his office room, Jessica never stepped her feet in there. Except when Baekhyun called her for something like, “I need coffee.”

Probably Baekhyun is trying to relieve himself, Jessica thought when Baekhyun didn’t dash out any seconds from his office room. Baekhyun must be hurt. He’s right. Jessica didn’t pay much attention towards Baekhyun when he’s back from his office.

 

 

Jessica shows up in front Baekhyun’s office room with a tub of ice cream of cookies and cream; Baekhyun likes it. She smiles adorningly when Baekhyun open the door and Baekhyun let her in. Jessica could see that Baekhyun is working even the clock had shot to 1 am.

Sure, her Baekhyun is a hardworking young man and Jessica is more than proud with him.

“I’m sorry for today.” Jessica says, opening the ice cream container. She scoops it with her own spoon and feeds Baekhyun with it. Baekhyun screeched his eyes cutely, probably because the temperature.

Baekhyun takes the spoons before he scoops once more and feed Jessica back. He’s nice and why Jessica didn’t see the glint of sadness in his eyes when Sehun’s showed up that afternoon? Jessica is dumb enough to realize.

“It’s not your fault anyway. I am the one who making things bigger.” Baekhyun murmurs, grabbing Jessica hands in his.

“No, you are right. I shouldn’t pay much that attention towards Sehun. I’m sorry.”

Baekhyun smiles before closing the gap between them. He pulled her closer with their head bumping to each other, in a loving way and Jessica couldn’t help to warn herself. Warn for don’t fall in love with someone who so stranger like Baekhyun.

Baekhyun touched her lips with his lips and plant a soft kiss on hers; trying to make up all those things that happened today.

“Let’s hit the bed.” Baekhyun whispers, loud enough to Jessica hear.

“We should.” Jessica replied afterward.

“Yours or mine?”

Jessica laugh, “Go and sleep at your own room, Byun Baekhyun.”

“Aww, I thought I get to sleep with my wife today.”

“Don’t ever dream, okay? Get an enough sleeps, we need to go shopping for groceries. We ran out of vegetables.”

“But I ran out of your love.” Baekhyun jutted his lower lips.

“Shut up. Go to sleeps, Mr Byun.”

Jessica never make Baekhyun all worried for her actually. It was that once, when she’s got her monthly period and too bad, she had to go through her bad PMS. And Baekhyun, being all confused guy he is, panicking when Jessica limp in his arm when she try to fix Baekhyun’s hair. Of course, Baekhyun never go through any experience just like this, not when Jessica is all crying while holding to her stomach. She seems in pain and Baekhyun didn’t like to see his love in all pain.

Baekhyun cancelled all of his meeting and informed Soo Jung about his absence from work. But he didn’t tell the younger as he think, he must be responsible for Jessica.

He just give a call and his private doctor quickly picking up and asking what’s going on. Baekhyun simply tells him that he needs him in his house and the private doctor is ready to Baekhyun’s house.

With Jessica crying and sobbings, Baekhyun couldn’t help but to hug her and calm her down. Jessica soothes a little bit.

“It’s pain.” Jessica said, without Baekhyun asking.

“What happened? Did you eat something wrong?” Baekhyun ask, smothering her cheeks with light kisses.

“Maybe I’m period. PMS.”

“I never knew that period could be that bad. You’re crying for two hours straight and I was so scared that I have hurt you before.”

“Sorry.  It’s just too unbearable.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve called the doctor. He will be in way any minutes soon.”

 

Doctor Jumyeon gives Jessica a painkiller and he told them that Jessica didn’t dyed soon because of her PMS. Too much of his concern and Jumyeon’s suggestion, Baekhyun search about the PMS thing via Google and he couldn’t help to feel pity at Jessica. It must be painful, Baekhyun thought. Jessica is sleeping peacefully on his bed with him together and Baekhyun tangled his hands with hers.

After some minutes of confusing, Baekhyun finally understands how PMS happened. The graphic really help him and he didn’t feel any regret for taking biology class back in his college.

Jumyeon give Jessica a lot of painkiller, but he didn’t suggest her to take those painkillers regularly. Only when she needs it and Baekhyun sure she needs it on every month. Poor she.

 

 

“Baek, I stained your sheet with my period.” Jessica said, when Baekhyun off to make Jessica some rose tea from the cabinet. Baekhyun could see clearly that Jessica had that crimson red when Baekhyun looks at his sheet. There’s huge visible blood on there and Jessica looks shy with it.

“It’s okay. I can change the new one.” Baekhyun said. “Here, drink this. It maybe helped with your PMS.”

“I should change your sheet.”

“It’s fine, really. I can hit the couch.”

“No, couch wouldn’t fit you.”

Baekhyun smiles, before pulling her into some sweet kiss. “It’s okay. I can sleep in your room tonight.”

“You are just looking this as a chance to sleep in my room, right?”

 

 

 

Baekhyun take a good care on Jessica when she’s PMS. Jessica couldn’t walk or she will limp in any moment because her bad cramps. Baekhyun will be the one who carry her in his arm to anywhere.

Baekhyun had to bear her cries every night and soothes her with some sweet stories and kisses. Jessica never asked for more. Even she had a bad cramps, she still trying to drying Baekhyun’s hair, changing Baekhyun’s stained sheet, and many more. Even she limps every time she’s trying to do something for Baekhyun in her PMS day.

 

 

And Baekhyun couldn’t help to found his love has grown fondly toward Jessica.

 

 

 

 

--- 

 

 

 

 

Other side than the PMS, Jessica never had anything that concern Baekhyun that much. Baekhyun is concerning on Jessica too much that he actually jotted down on calendar about Jessica periods, which Jessica nudges him playfully. It’s all for your safety, Baekhyun told her when she tells him to stop jotting down her period day.

Baekhyun didn’t bring any girls to his house, or Jessica never know that he might bring others before her. Jessica never bother to ask as she realize how low her life is compared to Baekhyun. Baekhyun didn’t like it and he asked Jessica to stop comparing herself with him. Jessica didn’t, still comparing herself with Baekhyun, all loud in her heart.

How crap life is? Everyone knows that she used to look alike hobos before and she is all beauty with Baekhyun’s money on her body. People might call her as or e because she has change in just five month. Unless she got a lot of item to sold to other Dota2 player, she might be that rich.

They used to have a regular fight before. But neither Jessica nor Baekhyun, both of them will start apologizing to each other that night before they off to their own bed. Jessica will always plant a butterfly kiss on Baekhyun’s forehead and Baekhyun will reply the same, except his reply it on her lips instead.

Baekhyun is perfect.

And why he wanted a hobo like her, it is the same question that keeps taunting her every night before she hits the bed.

Someone said, behind every man’s success, there must be a girl or even a woman behind everything. Other side than his mother, Baekhyun probably have someone that mean so much to him.

Baekhyun have, but he will never say it loud aloud.

 

 

 

“I will be back earlier tomorrow.” Baekhyun said, munching his breakfast. Jessica smiled, before fixing Baekhyun’s tie and hair. Baekhyun likes it when she combed his hair gently and fix his tie before he’s off to the office. He really really likes it. And Baekhyun appreciate her very well too.

But the same question keeps taunting her again.

“I think I could manage my own period, really Baek.” Jessica answers. Baekhyun is being all worried again because her periods.

“Call me if something painful happened. Don’t hold back, okay?”

“Yeah yeah captain.”

“Wait for me.”

 

 

 

 

Jessica has never done anything like this before in her life. She didn’t think to creep in Baekhyun’s office room out of the blue, just to rummaging Baekhyun’s thing to find something that maybe will answer all of her question.

She found a worn out wallet of Baekhyun with a picture inside. She didn’t waste any enough time to check through it and she found a younger Baekhyun in his college year with a girl in his right arm. He had the nice smile, just like those smile when he encourage Jessica to believe in him when he lift her in his arm.

The girl is shorter than him but she’s an angel.

Jessica couldn’t help but to compared herself with her. Well yeah, the girl wins, Jessica raised up her hands on air.

She must be something special toward Baekhyun, Jessica whispered. She go through everything in the wallet and she found a heartbreaking love letter. Jessica believes the letter was written back at the last day of the college and Baekhyun needs to stay focus on his study while the girl will be continuing her life as a part time worker.

 Her name is Ji Nah, what a nice name, Jessica thought. Baekhyun must be happy if he happened to meet Ji Nah now.

She quickly wipe her tears as she calmly fold the love letter back before stuffing it into Baekhyun’s old wallet. Surprisingly, her cramps didn’t affect her that much after reading Baekhyun’s love letter and also, knowing Baekhyun’s first love.

The bad cramps didn’t do her much or maybe it’s’ because her heart is just too broken after seeing Ji Nah’s photo and also Ji Nah replies toward Baekhyun’s letters?

 

 

 

“I told you not to open those drawers, am I?” Baekhyun shout at her as his veins is visible on his cheeks. Baekhyun sounds mad, like really really mad. He grips Jessica’s hand instantly, tightly.

“I—I know. I’m sorry.” Jessica reply, stuttering.

“Sorry?! You don’t know how much it means to me!”

 

“I know! I know everything about her, Baekhyun!” Jessica groans.

“You don’t ing know everything about Ji Nah, Jessica!” Baekhyun snaps back.

“Is this why you need someone who is so desperate like me? Is it because Ji Nah?”

“It hurts.” Baekhyun told her, realizing he had gone too much far that he should.

Jessica scoffs, disbelieve.

“You have telling lies all those moment. And here I thought you was all lovelorn for me,” Jessica said before storming off from Baekhyun’s office room. She locked her room for the entire day and she didn’t pay that much attention toward her bad cramps that start attacking her whole body.

She was just too busy dealing with her feeling until the cramps doesn’t bother her much. Baekhyun will knock on her door thrice a day, asking her to come out and have a talk with him. Jessica didn’t bother to answer it. Baekhyun respects her well; even Jessica knows that Baekhyun had the spare keys to her room but he didn’t use it. And Jessica had been more than thankful about how understanding Baekhyun is.

 

 

“Hey Jessica?” Baekhyun is standing in front of her room, probably biting his lower lips down.

“What?” Jessica groggily asks.

“Emm, there’s a breakfast for you. I’m off, okay?”

“Don’t bother me.” Jessica slump her face back to the pillow. She still didn’t bother to look at the poor Baekhyun who’s trying hard to forget his memories. Jessica didn’t care and she still didn’t want to let anyone in.

She had been stubborn, but she never regrets it.

“Periods might be pain but…”

“Shut up! You are not the one who dealing with everything. Just ing leave.” Jessica groans, almost crying but she successfully hold it back. Baekhyun probably will march over with those spare keys if he has heard Jessica crying all of the night.

“Jess, I’m didn’t mean to…”

“You know what, Byun Baekhyun? I just wish upon the star that you are going to sleep tight until we met again if we are destined to be separate!”

 

 

 

 

 

The pains are unbearable and Jessica is just too weak.

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

“You are diagnosed with a huge tumor in your ovary. Miss Jung, I suggest you a good surgery to keep those tumors gone for the rest of your lives. Are you okay with that?” Doctor Jongdae said, showing her some of the graphic.

Jessica doesn’t understand, but nether less she knows a tumor means less chance of her live if she didn’t get rid of it.

 

“W—what?”

“Those PMS that you have been going through all of the moment is actually caused by the tumor. And no matter what, we have to remove them permanently because it will lead to the cancer soon.”

 

And with that, Jessica return to Baekhyun’s house with triumphant smile plastered on her lips. She didn’t know if she’s going to look like a fake, but she couldn’t care less. All that seems more important to Jessica is how Baekhyun going to deal with her surgery.

And Jessica has decided.

 

 

 

 

She will never ever tell Baekhyun anything about it.

 

 

 

 

--- 

 

 

 

“Ah, Ji Nah noona is actually hyung’s ex-girlfriend. To hyung, Ji Nah noona was everything and I believe, hyung wouldn’t forget any single bit about Ji Nah. Hyung love Ji Nah too much that he decided to be all single in his life before he meets you.” Sehun said, after done sipping a tea.

“What happened to Ji Nah then?”

“She dies.”

“Eh, why?”

“Ji Nah involved herself in accidents where she rushes herself to meet hyung at the airport. She died in some car accidents and hyung never stop blame himself for Ji Nah dies. I think, he feel sorry for her.”

 

 

“You don’t ing know everything about Ji Nah, Jessica!”

“It hurts.”

 

 

“It’s tough for hyung too. But I guess he has been changing much with noona here. Thank you noona. For everything,” Sehun said in honesty and he hugged Jessica with a bear hug. Sehun is cute though and Jessica couldn’t help to hug him back. “We owe you one, noona.”

 

“It must be hard for Baekhyun.” She whispers, only loud enough for her.

 

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Jess?” Baekhyun called, as he tried to hear anything from the door. Jessica had been locking herself in her room without bothering the fact that Baekhyun needs her. All of Baekhyun wanted is a talk and the girl doesn’t even give him a chances to let he apologize and talk. He needs to talk with his favorite girl. He needs to listen to her voices again. He’s was going to get crazy over her sultry voice.

Baekhyun experimentally push the door knob; unlocked. Baekhyun grifted his teeth, anticipating an over emotional Jessica who trying to endure the pain of PMS.

 

 

And he wasn’t expecting it.

 

 

The room is empty without any Jessica’s clothes. All of her suitcases have gone and Baekhyun could barely see anything in her room. Jessica has change the sheet too and the room was lonely again, just like Baekhyun used to live when Jessica is not someone to him.

Baekhyun noticed she had left him a note.

Gulping, Baekhyun pull the note.

 

 

 

Hi, Baekhyun. This is me, Jessica.

As you can see, I need time to be alone.

Thank you for the moment.

I love you.

• Jessica Jung

 

 

 

 

 

 

And unknowingly, Baekhyun collapsed on the floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

 

Jessica swears, Soo Jung might kick her straight on the face if she didn’t introduce herself as her sister. Jessica had been leaving Soo Jung for 9 month straight without bother to ask how far she’s doing and how her life without her sister is.

Soo Jung doesn’t even know about her sister surgeries as Jessica didn’t want that matter bother to Soo Jung.  Not now, Jessica thought. Jessica has blond her hair to brunette for the first time because the surgeries make she lost her hair much.

Jessica spent a lot of money in China; enjoying, travelling, doing everything that she ever wanted to do since young. But she couldn’t help but to wander about Baekhyun. Is Baekhyun okay? Is Baekhyun is safe and sound? Does Baekhyun miss her like she missed him too? Jessica fought the urge to not call Baekhyun every night and ended up curling herself into a ball.

She’s a coward.

A real coward.

 

 

Everything has change, at least for Jessica views.

Soo Jung looks miserable.

And Jessica looks wonderful.

Something that Jessica has never dream of before; she was more than better than Soo Jung.

 

“I don’t want to get mad and I don’t want ever ing ask where are you going these countless month.” Soo Jung starts, pouting a little. She drops her cup before storming to her sisters. “You look beautiful, unnie.”

Jessica wiped her tears.

“You look beautiful yourself, Soo Jung. Find yourself a boyfriend?” Jessica asked, still hugging her sisters.

“Dump him already.”

“Why?”

“It’s not that important. Unnie, I had to tell you something.”

“About what?”

 

 

 

 

“About Mr Byun.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Do you want to go home?”

“N—no. Just leave me here.”

“Are you sure?”

“Y—yeah.”

 

Soo Jung understandingly nods. She returns to her dumbfounded sisters before pulling her into a tight embrace. Jessica needs it, she thought. As a reply, Jessica didn’t bother to reply to Soo Jung’s hug. Her pair of eyes is fixated at Baekhyun’s cold figures.

Baekhyun hadn’t cut his hair; his fringe is covering his eyes. Baekhyun looked pale; Baekhyun used to be warm. What happened to his warmness? His veins is showing through on his beautiful skin and Jessica couldn’t help to burst herself into tears when Soo Jung told her that Baekhyun’s is in comma.

Was this her fault? Yes, it is, Jessica pondered. Her fingers tangled with him. She didn’t wanna let go those delicate fingers again. Not for second time. As long Baekhyun is there, even he’s unconscious; Jessica didn’t give a damn about Baekhyun’s condition.

She kissed those kissable lips. Baekhyun used to kiss her well with his beautiful butterfly kisses. Baekhyun used to loved her, even she’s not even sure about that love thingy. But Jessica knows, Jessica is special in Baekhyun’s heart.

 

“Hi Baekhyun. It’s me. Your wife.”

Baekhyun didn’t even respond.

“Right. So, Soo Jung told me that you are here in past 9 month. Why, all of the persons, why it must be you, hmm? Did you miss me that a lot?”

Jessica snickered at her own remark.

“I am so ed up, right Baek? Come up now, I missed you too damn much. You wouldn’t even know why I have been crying in these 9 month back in China. I am, I’m all lovelorn for you, dumb. I hate you, but I really really love you. You heard me, I love you.”

Baekhyun steady heartbeat soothes her.

“I understand that you care for me that much because Ji Nah. I know, but I couldn’t help to not feel jealous toward Ji Nah. It just so complicated to understand, Baek. I even don’t understand myself. It just you… It just you who found my life were interesting and random.”

Jessica wiped her tears.

“And why you don’t even tell me about your stress level? Here I thought you are a fitted man who controls his stress level very well.”

“Wake up soon if you heard me, dumb. I will always be there for you no matter whatever happened. Grip me and never let me go.” Jessica said, gripping on Baekhyun’s tight hand. “I really didn’t wish you to sleep tight that night, Baekhyun.”

 

 

How she really hopes that Baekhyun will conscious and grip her fingers back.

 

 

 

 

 

But Baekhyun didn’t.

“Emm who are you?” A very beautiful girl yet scream riches is looking at Jessica with her weird expression. Her eyes was all over hers, judging her so hard. Oh babe, Jessica has used to them before, don’t used that to her.

Jessica still holding Baekhyun’s hands tight in her hands.

“His wife? And who are you?”

“I am his wife.”

“Excuse me?”

Somehow, it makes Jessica stomach screech in pain. She clears , trying to understand the real is happening now. Baekhyun is not married, tell her. And what the another came up and said, she’s married to Baekhyun?

Jessica was about to ask when Sehun enters the frame with his shock face all drawn on his clueless face. Sehun wasted no more time before storming himself toward Jessica. Her hands instantly crept into Sehun’s shoulders. Trying to reassuring the boy who might be clueless with her sudden appearances.

 

 

 

“Noona. It’s really you. You look lovely.” Sehun commented, brushing his fingers on Jessica’s cheek.

“It’s me. You look handsome as hell too, Sehun.”

“Sehun, who is this actually? She suddenly was in here and claim she is Baekhyun’s wife? What the hell is happening?” The woman asks, waving her hands in front Sehun.

“Sehun, who is this? Don’t tell me she is married to Baekhyun.” Jessica whispered, only loud enough for Sehun to hear.

“Jiyoon noona, this is… Baekhyun hyung legal wife, Jessica noona.”

“What? Are you kidding me? I am his wife, based on the contracts!”

“Emm it’s your contract with mom and dad actually.”

Jiyoon mutter something under her breath before storming off from Baekhyun’s private ward. Jessica knows where this is going to lead but Jessica doesn’t care anymore. She’s going to fight for Baekhyun and she didn’t have any intention to giving up on Baekhyun.

She has giving up on so many things but she didn’t want to give up on Baekhyun. Not now, not ever.

 

 

 

“What happened?”

“It’s a long story.”

“Tell me.”

Jessica smiled, her fingers quickly find herself way to tangle them to Baekhyun’s finger.

“I just have to wait for Baekhyun. I want to let him know everything. I feel sorry for him. I tell him to sleep tight.”

“It’s not your fault. Baekhyun hyung know it.”

“I don’t know, Sehun. This is just too complicated.”

“No, no, no! He needs me!” Jessica screams, trying to get rid the nurses who guarding Jessica. The Byun families really don’t like her, and they seemed like using their powers on Baekhyun to keep her away from Baekhyun. Sehun couldn’t do anything as he politely follows his father leads. The same from yesterday is still there, looking at her with those mimicking face. How she hates her gut as she was about to kick those nurses with her stilettos.

She clearly could see how hard the doctors are trying to waking up the lifeless Baekhyun. Baekhyun had a blood clot around his brain and whose fault is that? It’s all from her and Jessica never being so stupid for leaving Baekhyun that day.

I should tell him, her heart start whispering.

 

“You are not related, Miss Jung. You are not needed. Please understand!” One of those nurses shriek, just loud enough to make the poor girl ears deaf.

“How am I going to understand if I know him better than his family member?! How am I going to understand if I’m taking care of him as long as I could remember? How am I going to understand if I am responsible for the injury in his head?! It’s you guys who didn’t understand me well!” Jessica barked back, punching one of them wildly.

She was about to bite them when someone pull her wrist.

 

 

 

“Doctor Kim.”

It was Jumyeon, with his warm smile just like always he do.

Thanks to Jumyeon, Jessica able to sit herself beside Baekhyun who seems had finished with his surgeries. Baekhyun look pale than yesterday and Jessica couldn’t help to brush her warm fingers on his cold face. Her fingers still tangled around his abused fingers.

Baekhyun is in comma status and he could wake up any soon.

 

“Baek, wake up. Wake up. I couldn’t waste any time like this if you are going to torture me with your sleeping. I don’t wanna get trick. You always being mean with your sleeping trick. Did you think it’s funny? I don’t have enough time to wait for you, Baek. Your family doesn’t even like me? They even are trying to set you into some marriage with a strangers. Wait, she’s a stranger to me but I don’t know she to you. Maybe you know her.” Jessica blabber, eyes watching watch.

Baekhyun didn’t even respond. It was only her steady breathing soothes her again. Just like yesterday, she sighs.

“Baek, do you really really hate me that much? I said I’m sorry, did I? Why you didn’t even forgive me? You just have to wake up and I promise, I won’t ever say anything that might offend you any soon. Just wake up.”

 

“Baek, wake up from your sleep tight. We haven’t met like 11 months. Don’t you miss me?”

 

 

“Baek, time is ticking. Jumyeon has to kick me out anytime from now on.”

 

 

“Your family doesn’t like me and I couldn’t visit you forever like this, Byun Baekhyun.”

 

 

“I promise you can sleep on my room on every night and I promise I will really be a legal wife to you if you promise me that you are going to wake up from your sleep tight.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“S—someone says—y-your room?”

“Aye, shut up Baek! I’m trying to focus.”

“You had been doing that for the past 3 hours, Mrs Byun.”

“I need a minutes more.”

“How about a minute with your husband here?”

 

Jessica cutely find Baekhyun’s cheek to pinch and Baekhyun will be always be there for her to pinch. If someone asked her about Baekhyun specialty, Jessica will always pinpoint how cute Baekhyun is when he’s sleeping and everything he’s doing. Jessica appreciates Baekhyun too well that Baekhyun is actually her priority.

Baekhyun leans in, planting a chaste kiss on her lips.

 

“How’s today?” Baekhyun asks, his hand slowly slide down to her stomach. Baekhyun is more than happy when his wife is having a twins for their first ever born child. Not that Baekhyun expecting but Baekhyun is more than eager to have a twins in their mansion.

Even after the several surgeries, Baekhyun had to be extra careful for Jessica because Jessica didn’t pay that much attention to herself unless Baekhyun is there to care for her.

“They kicked me.” Jessica commented, tiredly.

“Don’t kick mommy, boys. Mommy is tired with carrying you guys in there.” Baekhyun said, caressing his wife stomach. He smiles as he feel a movement from the babies.

“I think the boys will look kinda like you.”

“Well, one is my twins while the one is yours.”

“You should rest, Jessica.”

“I’m tired.” Jessica sighed.

“Sure you are. You are carrying the babies. Our babies.”

 

 

It was the same night before Baekhyun tucked Jessica in her cover. Jessica pulled him closer as she plant a kiss on her husband lips. She giggles lightly when she feel a movement from her stomach. At first, it was hurt but then, she knows it was a bless. A kicking baby is a sign to healthy babies.

Baekhyun is more than ready to be a father.

 

 

“I want to play Dota2. I left it too long.”

“Sure baby. Let’s play together.”

“You don’t even know what Steam is.”

“Excuse you, I buy an item from you before. Don’t you remember?”

“When?!”

“Before I know a Sicachu is actually you and I don’t even know you that time. And yeah, I bought a couple of item from you before.”

 

Jessica smiled.

 

 

“Baek.”

“Yeah?”

“Can our son play Dota2 with us when they’re growing up?”

“Yes, they can. Now, sleep.”

“Baek, who’s going to teach them the cheat key? I lost mine.”

“Me. Now, sleep.”

“Baek, I don’t want to trade my item again. They buyer cheat on me.”

“Sleep!”
