Tiffany almost jumped out when she saw a middle-aged man suddenly charged forward Jessica. The screamed Sooyoung makes her realizes that the situation is worse than she thought; someone stabbed Jessica after she and her team finished the trial

Despite being panic as the crowd, Tiffany managed to call the ambulance and strode forward to the crowd

“Please move,” Tiffany whispered to people who surrounded Jessica. She took the initiative to pressed the wound with her handkerchief

“Oh gosh, she lost her consciousness,” said Sooyoung, “Where’s the ambulance?”

“On the way,” Tiffany replied. After a while, they heard a noise comes from outside, the paramedics are coming.

“Please move,” said one of the paramedics. They proceed to bring Jessica into the stretcher. Sooyoung instructed Suzy to follows the paramedics while she will call Taeyeon and her family

“Uncle, Aunty,” Sooyoung bowed to Jessica’s parent. She couldn’t reach Taeyeon and called Jessica’s parent instead, “Sorry for coming late. I need to help the investigation.”

“It’s okay, Sooyoung. Thanks for calling us,” said Mr. Jung while pats Sooyoung’s shoulder

“How is she?”

“She’s fine. She lost a lot of blood, but the doctors managed to save her. She got some stitches on her stomach as well,” Mrs. Jung explained, “I’ll try to call Taeyeon again.”

“Where is she, anyway?” Sooyoung asked. She feels so weird if Taeyeon is out of reach

“She’s at Japan since yesterday,” Mrs. Jung replied and walked away to the quite apart from for calling her daughter in law

Mrs. Jung has waited for several times until Taeyeon picked her phone

“Mother, I’m so sorry. I just finished the meeting, and I put my phone in silent mode,” said Taeyeon hurriedly, seems like she’s running to a place

“Taeyeon, Jessica was stabbed by a defendant,” Mrs. Jung tried to tell Taeyeon calmly because she knows Taeyeon would be outrageous

“WHAT?”

“Taeyeon, calm down,”

“Mother I.. I will back to Korea as soon as possible, I…”

“Taeyeon…”

“This evening, this evening, I’ll fly back…”

“Kim Taeyeon!” Mrs. Jung slightly raised her tone to makes Taeyeon stops her rambles

“Y…yes…”

“When will your schedule end? The normal schedule.”

“The day after tomorrow. The last day is for refreshing, our last meeting will be held tomorrow.”

“You can go home after the meeting, Taeyeon.”

“But, Mother…”

“Jessica is fine. She only gets some stitches on her stomach. Don’t worry, okay? Jessica would be sad if you ditched your team and missed the great opportunity.”

“If Jessica wakes up, please call me, Mother.”

“Of course, Taeyeon. Hey, don’t cry,” Mrs. Jung chuckled after listening Taeyeon’s low sobs

“I’m… I’m afraid…”

“Jessica will be okay, Taeyeon. You can reschedule your ticket now.”

“Okay, Mother.”

Mrs. Jung ended the call and heavily sigh; she knows her daughter in law will be this childish, but she likes it. Her daughters are composed and mature, not a typical spoiled princess or childish. That’s why she wants Taeyeon as soon as they met

“Oh, Sooman,” Mrs. Jung smiled, beside Lee Sooman, there are Yuri and Tiffany

“Hey, I came with Yuri as soon as I heard the news from her wife,” said Sooman while pointed and Yuri and Tiffany who bow immediately to them

“Hey, Yuri, long time no see. How’s your mother?” Mrs. Jung asked

“She’s fine. Her hobby now is gardening,” Yuri smiled

“That’s good, Papa Jung tried to gardening too, but he failed,” Mrs. Jung chuckled which received a low yah from her husband

“Anyway, thank you for calling the ambulance, Tiffany-ssi. Sooyoung said you were,” said Mr. Jung, “How’s the call with Taeyeon?”

“I managed to make her stay until tomorrow,” Mrs. Jung replied, “Jessica said that the project was important yesterday.”

“Ah, thank you, Katherine,” Sooman sighed in relief, “I was about to call her about this.”

The door of the operation room is opened. One of the doctors comes outside and walks into the group

“Hello, are you guys the family of Mrs. Kim?”

“Yes,” Mrs. Jung eyeing the ID Card, “Dr. Park, how is she?”

“She’s fine. We will move her to the room. Please fill some forms, and the rest can follow me,”

“Okay,” Mrs. Jung patted her husband’s back, “You go with the rest. I will fill the forms first.”

“Unnie, this is your newest ticket,” Seulgi clicked the send button to Taeyeon

“Thank you,” Taeyeon checks the email and furrows her eyebrows; all of her team also follow her, “Seul, why are you guys also coming back?”

“Uh,” Seulgi scrubbed her nape, “We discussed it before. We thought it’s not comfortable if we still here despite the situation.”

“But, you guys want to refresh?”

“That’s fine, Noona,” Chanyeol ducked his head, “We can go to Japan again later.”

“Ah,” Taeyeon feels touched, “You guys are sweet.”

“Because our team leader is sweet too,” Jieun joked lightly, “Your phone is ringing.”

“Oh, a video call. Excuse me for a while,” said Taeyeon while walked away from her team, “Sica!”

“Hey, Honey,” Jessica smiled through the video. Even only from video, Taeyeon could see Jessica’s pale face, and it hurts her more

“Sica…” Taeyeon muttered Jessica’s name, unable to speaks further because her eyes already watery again

“Honey, I’m okay. Don’t be sad,” Jessica extended her hand, wanted to touch Taeyeon’s cheek as usual, “I miss you.”

“I miss you too,” said Taeyeon, “Mother called me this afternoon, and I felt like I’m dying, Sica.”

“I’m sorry. But, Mother is right. I’d be mad if you ditched your team. You told me that it was so important for the company.”

“But you hurt,” Taeyeon protruded her lips and puffed her cheeks. Those would be Taeyeon’s signatures if Jessica scolded her. It lasted since they
