Took an Oath - I’mma stick it out to the end

Krystal's side

*Phone call*

"Yoboseyo"

"Krystal?"
"Dr.Choi here"

"Neh"
"Whats wrong Dr.Choi?"

"Remember the time when i took your sister's blood for some tests?"
"The test results are out"

"So how was it?"
"Positive or negative?"

"Well, the white blood cells&red blood cells arent in the very healthy range.."
"And.." Dr.Choi stopped

"And?!"

"..."

"Dr.ChoI!!"

"And.. this might not be what we thought it is.."
"But we have to go through further tests to confirm it"
"So, could you get your sister down to get more tests?"
"I'll pass it over to Dr.Kang, your previous doctor"

"Okay.."
"When should we get down for the test?"

"As soon as possible, so if its what i thought"
"can get the treatment faster to risk the rate of it worsening"

"Okay, i'll try to get her down later"
"Can you help me get an appointment from Dr.Kang?"
"I'll get her down this afternoon"

"Okay can, i'll be there with Dr.Kang then"
"See you girls later"

*End of phone call*

Krystal's POV

It cant be..
Unnie cant possibly get it..
I've already gotten it, how can unnie possibly get it?..
It must have been some mistake in the tests that Dr.Choi made..

End of Krystal's POV

*Phone call*

"Unnie!"

"Yup Krys?"

"Are you free this afternoon?"

"Yup, my schedule starts only at 4pm"
"Why?"

"Unnie, can you come over to our house?"
"I want you to go somewhere with me"

"Where?"

"Just promise you'll go first"
"Then i'll tell you"
"But promise is a promise okay, dont chicken out like an idiot" teased Krystal

"Araesso araesso"
"I promise"
"So where?"

"Hospital unnie"

"WAE?! I dont like hospitals"
"Can we not go?"

"Ani, you promised"
"I'll meet you by the road of your dorm in an hours time"

"But..."

"No buts unnie!"
"See you later!"

*End of phone call*

Jessica's side

Jessica's POV

Why the hospital?
Such a sudden call..
Hmm...

End of Jessica's POV

"Sica, whats wrong?"
"Who was that on the line just now?"

"Ani, its just Krystal"
"She wanted to have lunch with me later"
"She's picking me up in an hours time"

"Oh, good"
"You should be spending more time with her" smiled Taeyeon

"I guess so" Jessica said as she returned Taeyeon with a weak smile.

An hour later, Jessica was seen wearing a hoodie,cap&sunglasses waiting at the lobby of their dorm.
Krystal then arrived minutes later.

"Wow, you're driving Krys"
"This is my first time being driven by you" said Jessica as she gave Krystal a peck on her cheek when she got onto Krystal's car.

"Its our time together, of course i should drive you around"
"Now, lets go!"

On the way to the hospital, Jessica cant stop feeling weird,
weird that why are they visiting the hospital so suddenly.
If its anything with herself or Krystal, Dr.Kang or Dr.Choi would call her instead.
But why is it that they have to get down to the hospital today?
Thoughts were overflowing in Jessica's mind but was interupted by Krystal.

"Unnie, we're here"
"Lets go" Krystal said as she pulled Jessica's hands

"Krys.."
"Can we not go?.."
"Please?.."
"Pretty please?.." begged Jessica

"Ani, a promise is a promise unnie" said Krystal coldly

"Fine!" pouted Jessica

As they walked into Dr.Kang's office, they were welcome by two doctors.
Dr.Kang&Dr.Choi.

"Hello Krystal, its been such a long time right?"
"How are you doing now?" Dr.Kang said as he shook hands with Krystal

"Yup, its a pretty long time" smiled Krystal as she returned the handshake

"Well, Jessica, this time round, we've got something to tell you"
"We took your blood sample that day in your dorm when you were having a high fever"
"And we did a test with it.."
"So the results werent very.."
"Ideal.." explained Dr.Choi

"So thats the reason im here?!"
"im being tricked here the whole time Krystal?!" shouted Jessica

"Ani.. unnie.."
"We just wanted to be sure.." said Krystal sadly

"Yeah, Jessica, just take a few test and let us put our minds at ease" said Dr.Kang&Choi
"Alright?"

"Please unnie?" pleaded Krystal

"Fine! if nothing's wrong with me, you guys are gonna get it from me!" said Jessica

"Okay, we'll do anything for you if its our fault" smiled Dr.Choi

"Here, change into this gown" Dr.Kang said as he passed the hospital gown to Jessica

Jessica took the hospital gown and went ahead to change without further delay.
When she's back, she saw Dr.Kang with long needles waiting for her beside the bed.

"Geez, are these gonna be used on me?"
"Its giving me the creeps" asked Jessica

"Im afraid yes" said Dr.Kang
"Come on, lie here for a bit"
"Im gonna perform two test for you"
"One will be the bone marrow aspiration and the other will be bone marrow biopsy"
"For bone marrow aspiration, it will take approximately 20minutes while bone marrow biopsy will be a little longer"
"Im gonna give you a anaesthetic jab first but, the tests itself will still hurt a little alright?" informed Dr.Kang

"Hwaiting Jessica"
"I'll be here rooting for you" said Dr.Choi as he sat down on the other side of the room.

"Krystal, you can stand here and let your unnie hold your hands" instructed Dr.Kang

"Neh"
"Unnie hwaiting!" cheered Krystal as she held onto Jessica's hands

As soon as everyone got into their position, Dr.Kang got Jessica to lay on the bed, on her side.

"Now relax.."
"You'll feel so slight pinch as i inject the anaesthic jab in first" Dr.Kang said as he slowly injected the jab into Jessica's hip.

A slight wince was heard from Jessica as she tightened her grip around Krystal's hands.
Then, Dr.Kang took a long big needle and inserted it into Jessica's hipbone and started to slowly Jessica's bone marrow.
The up of her bone marrow at her hip hurts so much that Jessica gritted her teeth so tight that her face turned red.
Not forgetting Krystal's hands. Jessica tightened the grip till both the sisters hand turned white.
And tears started falling down Jessica's face.

"Unnie.." Krystal said as she patted Jessica's head
"Dr.Kang's almost done.."
"Hwaiting"

"Krys..hurts.."

That was the only words Jessica could said.
She couldnt say anymore, she was afraid that she's gonna scream and cry out loud because of the pain.
20 minutes felt like 200 years to Jessica, the pain of getting her bone marrow out.
After that, her second test.

"You did well Jessica" comforted Dr.Kang
"We'll now go on to the 2nd one okay?" Dr.Kang said as he patted Jessica's head

But Jessica was already getting weak because of the pain that she's been holding.
She cant even respond to the doctor but only gave him a weak nod.
The second test started, to Jessica's shock,
it hurt so much more than the first one.
The pain was unbearable that Jessica's started to move.

"Unnie, dont!"
"The needle will break halfway if you move" warned Krystal

"Arghh.."
"Krys..hurts..a..lot.." Jessica said in between sobs

"I know, i've been through"
"Remember?"
"Now, im serious about moving"
"If the needle's gonna break, you're gonna go through this pain once more"

Hearing the news that she's gonna go through it once more,
she tried her best to stop moving but tears kept flowing down her face.
It hurt her so so much that how she wished she could just scream out loud.
But Jessica didnt want to make a fool of herself, so she gritted her teeth hard and bear the pain.
Krystal's hands were hurting so badly because of the hard squeeze that Jessica's been giving her.
However, Krystal understand how painful the whole process were.
So she didnt say anything but just stayed by Jessica's side and comforted her.
Soon, the 2nd test was over.

"All done" announced Dr.Kang

"Fi..nal..ly.." breathed Jessica weakly

"You're awesome Jessica!" complimented Dr.Choi
"This is the first patient i saw, not shouting out because of the pain"

Jessica just glared at him after Dr.Choi's compliment.

"Unnie, you're so amazing"
"I cried so much when i was taking mine" said Krystal with a smile
"I only saw tears and heard nothing from you unnie!"

Jessica just return her a weak smile and stayed lying on the bed for an hour without talking, waiting for the results.
An hour later, Krystal went to get a wheelchair for Jessica while Dr.Choi carried Jessica onto the wheelchair to wait for Dr.Kang as he gets the report.
Jessica felt soreness all over her hip area, it was so sore that she couldnt even think of doing anything.
Even talking wears her out. So she kept quiet the whole time, just nodding and shaking of his head.
Then, Dr.Kang came in with a serious expression.

"So how's the report Dr.Kang?" asked Krystal

"Hmm..."
"Well.. the report results says.."
"Im sorry, but Jessica's report for leukemia test results are positive.."
"She's diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia"
"The same as you Krystal"
"It seems like the both of you had actually inherited from you mum" said Dr.Kang

"Jessica, dont worry"
"Look at how advance the science technologies are"
"You can definitely be cured" assured Dr.Choi

"Dont lie.."
"Look at Krystal.."
"How long did she take to get a bone marrow donor?"
"Years, it was lucky for her to get through it"
"But me?" said Jessica sadly
"How long do i have if i dont go for chemotheraphy?"

"Im sorry to say, but only 3 months"

Jessica's POV

My life's a joke.
3 months of life now?
What?
I was diagnosed with asthma since young,
being tortured by medicines, needles & hospitals.
Then i got ignored by dad after mum died and Krystal being diagnosed with leukemia.
Now im being diagnosed with one too?
What is wrong with me?
If im not meant to be in here, then dont even let me get into my mum's womb
God, you let me out to suffer for my previous life's sins.
Isnt it?
Now im leading a happy life, with someone i love.
And with my cute little sister.
But you're trying your damn best to take everything from me.
How nice can you actually get?

End of Jessica's POV

"3 months.."
"Let me think about this.." Jessica started

"Dont unnie, dont think"
"Just go for it, i dont want to lose you" cried Krystal

"Dont force me Krystal.."
"My rate of surviving this is also low even if im going for chemotheraphy"
"Getting the right bone marrow donor is like finding a needle in ocean pacific"

"Unnie.." Krystal started but stopped when her head started hurting.

"Krystal, whats wrong?" asked Jessica worriedly

"Unnie, my head hurts"
"Its been like this for the past few days after i left your dorm"
"Sometimes, i'll even get dizzy spells or blurred image" said Krystal as she massaged her temples.

"Have you gotten a check for it?" asked Dr.Kang&Choi

"Ani, i thought it was just a migraine or something"
"So i just shook it off"

"Krystal, go for a check up" advised Dr.Kang

"Yeah, go for one now"
"I can get you a immediate one" winked Dr.Choi
"Come on!" Dr.Choi said as he motioned Krystal to follow him.

"Unnie, wait for me here"
"Dont go anywhere" warned Krystal as she followed Dr.Choi

After they left, Dr. Kang started.

"Jessica, really not considering?"
"With your strongwill, im sure you're able to overcome it" persuaded Dr.Kang

"But, i really dont have the confidence to overcome it Dr.Kang"
"In fact, im actually living well 'cause of Krystal&Taeyeon"
"Im sick of my life, working and slogging my butts off for my dad's company"
"Im really tired of it.."
"I cant help but somehow feel that its a sign to ask me to leave and reunite with my parents.." said Jessica with tears in her eyes

"But you know how much Krystal needed you right Jessica?"
"Without you, she'll be like an orphan"
"Without you to take care of her, she's gonna suffer a lot and work for your dad's company like how you did"
"Without you, there's no today's Krystal"
"You love Krystal so much, im sure you dont want to see Krystal suffer without you by the side right?"

"I know, Krystal is my only sister"
"I cant lie or deny that i dont love her"
"I love her more than anything else"
"She's one of the most important person in my life"

"See? She's one of your most important person in life"
"The even more you should go for it, live for her"
"And im sure, there's more than one important person in your life than Krystal right?"
"Work for it, go for the chemotheraphy"
"Live for those you love and cherish most Jess"

"Thanks for all these, Dr.Kang"
"Let me go back home and consider it again first.."

Just then, Krystal&Dr.Choi came in with a report on his hands.

"Well, how's Krystal?" asked Jessica, worried for her little dongsaeng

"Hmm.. the report shows that apparently"
"There's a bloodclot in her brain thats doing the mischief"
"the reason behind her headaches, dizzy spells and blurry visions" said Dr.Choi
"So, i recommend Krystal to go through the surgery as soon as possible to prevent the bloodclot from worsening"

"Okay, Dr.Choi, then get ready the earliest surgery date you can get for Krystal?" said Jessica

"Ani, unnie"
"If you're not going for chemotheraphy, im also not going for the surgery"
"you can try me, i can go missing and i swear you cant find me" protested Krystal

"Krys, come on"
"Dont threaten me, i just want the best for you"

"I just want the best for you too unnie"

"Krystal, my best and yours is different"
"Yours, you'll just have to go through a surgery"
"Mine is way worse"
"You experienced it before, you should know that"
"Plus through those theraphies, my asthma would just happen anytime"
"Everyone knows that, and its another minus to it"
"So who can guarantee that i'll live through it?" exasperated Jessica
"You?"
"You?"
"Or you Krystal?" Jessica said as she pointed to Dr.Kang,Dr.Choi&Krystal

"Unnie, i guarantee you that you'll be fine"
"Trust me and youself, okay?"

"I dont know about that Krystal.."
"Just go for the surgery.."

"NO! if that means im living and you're leaving me!"
"If its gonna be that case, im leaving unnie"
"dont expect to find me anymore!" shouted Krystal as tears rolled down her face when she turned her back to Jessica and started leaving the room.

Krystal's heart got totally torn by Jessica because Jessica's refusal to go for the treatment.
Krystal doesnt want to lose her only sister, even if its just 0.0001%'s chance of getting her well,
she wants Jessica to go for it. And not give up her life just like that.
Krystal thought,

"I fought through it, why cant unnie do it too?"

As these thoughts flowed through her mind, tears too flowed down her cheeks like a river.

"WAIT!" shouted Jessica, on the verge of tears too.
"Dont go Krys!"
"i'll go for the chemotheraphy, okay?"
"But you'll have to go for the surgery first" said Jessica

Krystal then turned back and walked to Jessica

"Cheongmal? Unnie, you're willing to go for it?" asked Krystal

"Yeah. But on a few conditions" said Jessica

"Anything for you unnie" replied Krystal as she wiped her tears away.

"First, go for the surgery"
"Second, dont ever tell Taeyeon or anyone about me being sick"
"Third, i need you to help me with the company when im going through the chemotheraphy"

"First&third, im willing to compromise"
"But why cant i tell Taeyeon unnie?"
"She's gonna be upset if she learns about this"
"And, you need her to be by your side through all these" said Krystal

"No, im going to break up with her"
"Soon"
"And im leaving the group too" replied Jessica

"Unnie?.."
"Im not sure about your decision.."

"Im sure about it"
"Thats it"
"If you're not going to compromise it, then deal's off" threatened Jessica

"Okay, fine!"
"Im always at the losing end" surrendered Krystal

So, Jessica decided to go with the chemotheraphy after Krystal finished her surgery and recovers.
For the whole process, its gonna take around a month, estimated by Dr.Choi.
So a months time, hell's gonna start for Jessica.
After the hospital visit, Krystal got Jessica back to her dorm before 4pm which was just in time for her schedule.
As she walked up the stairs, her back felt so sore. But she couldnt show it out.
If not Taeyeon's gonna suspect and bombard her with lots of questions.
When she opened the door, she was welcomed by Taeyeon with a big hug.

"Welcome back Sica!"
"I missed you!"
"Even its just a few hours" giggled Taeyeon

"Hahas, i missed you too!" Jessica said as she hugged back

"Hey, how's your lunch with Krystal?"
"And.. you look a little under weather today"
"Are you sick again? Taeyeon asked she felt Jessica's forehead

"Ani, kwenchaena"
"Dont worry" smiled Jessica
"Lets go get ready for our schedule Taetae"

"Jinja kwenchaena?"

"YAH, ahjumma taeng!"
"JINJA JINJA KWENCHAENA!"
"Lets go now before we are late!" said Jessica while she pushed Taeyeon out of the house

"YEAH! We are getting late ahjumma taeng!" shouted Sunny outside the dorm.

"Unnie, pali pali!" Seohyun rushed as we ran out of the house.

During the schedule break, Jessica secretly sneak out of the room and went to look for Kyuhyun.
Fortunately, Kyuhyun was just around their rest room and Jessica didnt have to make a big whole effort to look for him.

"Oppa, can we talk?" asked Jessica as he approached Kyuhyun from the back

"Ah, its you Jessica"
"Of course we can"
"What do you wanna talk about?" asked Kyuhyun curiously

"Well, can we go outside and talk?"
"Its something more private" requested Jessica

"Okay, lets go" smiled Kyuhyun

Outside the broadcasting station, Jessica stood infront of Kyuhyun with a serious yet sorry expression.

"Oppa.."
"Jinja byuneh"
"I really loved being in this girl group" started Jessica

"And why are you apologising?.."

"Oppa, jinja jinja jinja byuneh"
"I need to leave this group"
"But i hope you dont let the members know till the i leave the dorm"

"Wae?"
"Why are you quitting suddenly?"
"Is it because that you arent getting along well with the girls or something?"
"Or is it that you find it too tiring to maintain your company&this?"

"Ani.."
"Actually, oppa"
"My body's too weak for all these"
"Im born with asthma, and my asthma attack happens very frequently"
"My mum, she died of leukemia"
"Percentage of her child getting is 30%"
"And.. im in it"
"I cant stay here any longer, im going bring down the group" Jessica said as she started to tear up.

"WAE?!"
"Omo, Jessica, are you kidding me?!"

"Do i look as if im kidding you?"
"With all these tears?" snapped Jessica
"If you dont believe, look at this"

Jessica said as she showed Kyuhyun her hip, it was red and sore.

"This, i went through two tests that hurt like hell just now"
"Are these enough to prove it?!"
"And, Im leaving in a months time"
"Till then please, keep the news of me leaving this group as a secret for me"
"But, dont ever tell them about my reasons of quitting"
"You can come up with any crap reasons but not tell them the real one"
"Okay oppa?" pleaded Jessica

"Thats all that i can do for you"
"I suppose so.."
"But, are you sure you're gonna go through all these all your own?"

"Thanks oppa"
"Im not going through on my own, im going to be with my sister"

"Just your sister?"

"Yup, just her"
"And, oppa, one more request please?"
"Can i have 1 day free for the whole group, just the day before i leave"
"Please?" Jessica asked as she clapped&rub her hands together.

"Okay, thats a simple one for me" smiled Kyuhyun
"Okay, go back now, its time for you to get back on stage"

As days and weeks passed, Jessica's condition took a turn for its worse.
Now, she started to have nosebleed&bruises easily but she covered it well from her members to free them from worrying.
Then, its finally Jessica's last day with the group.
As promised by Kyuhyun, Kyuhyun had the group's whole day freed for Jessica.

"Girls" Kyuhyun said as he entered their dorm
"Today's a free day requested from Jessica"
"She wanted you girls to have a bonding day!"

"YAY!"
"FREE DAY!!"
"NO SCHEDULE!!" cheered the girls!
"WE LOVE YOU JESSICA!" the girls said as they pounced on Jessica

"YAH! GET OFF!" shouted Jessica
"Lets go out together okay, my treat for all!"

"WAH, treat!"
"Gonna eat till crazy today!" cheered Sooyoung&Yoona

"Omo, Jessica's gna declare bankrupt today" joked Yuri
"Yeah, im gonna bet on that too" chuckled Hyoyeon

"Ani, just eat your fill okay girls?" smiled Jessica

"Sica, whats wrong with you?"
"Is there something that you are keeping from us?"
"You're acting really weird recently.." asked Taeyeon

"Nope? I just wanna reward our members for their hardwork Taetae"
"Nothing's wrong" assured Jessica

"Oh well, if you insist.."

Taeyeon's POV

Sica..
She's getting so weird recently..
She's treating so much better than before..
Not saying that she's not treating me well before..
But..
Its just weird..
Im having this bad feeling..

End of Taeyeon's POV

Jessica took the girls out to a famous chinese restaurant for brunch since the girls woke up later.
But as they entered the restaurant, they found that its super empty.
There's only the waitresses,waiters&themselves there.

"Wow, its so empty!"
"What kind of famous chinese restaurant that has no customers at such hours!" said Hyoyeon while the other girls nodded

"Hahas, i've reserved this whole place down for us"
"You know, enjoy our meal without anyone taking photos or anything" said Jessica
"Come on girls, go grab your favourite Chinese dimsum!"
"This restaurant is famous for their dimsum!"
"GOGOGO!"

Then everyone rushed to the counters where the dimsums were placed.
But, only Tiffany stood beside Jessica.

[ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

"Jess, whats wrong?"

"Hmm? What do you mean whats wrong Tiff?"

"You clearly know what im talking about" said Tiffany as she gave Jessica a disapproving look.
"You're always like this when you wanna leave somewhere or announcing something"
"Spill the beans now since Taeyeon's not here"

"Tiff, really, its really nothing"
"I just wanted to treat you girls a nice meal"

"Jess, you know this will get us nowhere"
"You know how i am like when it comes to your matters" said Tiffany with her hands chucked to her waist

"Fine, im only telling you"
"But, before i tell you, make sure you're not going to scream like some lunatic after hearing it"

"Fine! Spill it!"

"Well.. the thing is.. im leaving this group.."
"Today's my last day with you girls.." said Jessica sadly as she looked at how happy the other 7 girls were as they grabbed their food.

"Why Jess?"
"Why are you leaving?"
"Is it because of your health?" asked Tiffany softly

"Partly is because of my health"
"My asthma, its not getting any better"
"I dont wanna pull anyone of you girls down" lied Jessica
"And, i've been really tired juggling between my company and this job"
"I've been getting frequent nosebleed over all these work" continued Jessica

"Oh.."
"Im just gonna let you go 'cause i know you're not going to stop even if i tell you so.."
"But Jess, we'll still be best of friends as usual right?"
"And we can meet up like what we used to right?"

"Yup of course we can"
"But i'll be leaving to UK for a year first" lied Jessica

"UK?! Why?!"
"Erm, our business are expanding to UK.. thats why.."

"Oh.."
"So we'll be back to the "long distance" friendship again i guess"

"Awww.. Come on Tiff" Jessica said as she hugged Tiffany
"Its just a year, i'll be back soon"
"Plus, Dr.Choi said UK's the expert for treating asthma" smiled Jessica

"Jinja?!"
"Okay, i hope to see a healthy you in one years time!"

"Me too!"

[End of ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

Jessica's POV

One years time..
I dont even know if im able to live through it..
But if i do, it would be awesome..

End of Jessica's POV

After their heavy brunch, Jessica took the girls to a shopping mall for a day of shopping.
It wasnt a really big shopping mall, 'cause they cant really go to one since their popularity skyrocketted since their first debut.

"Girls, i wanna gift you girls something each"
"Go choose one and pay using this" Jessica said as she passed the card over to Sooyoung
"Sooyoung, bring the girls to some shopping spree!"
"But leave Taeyeon&Tiffany for me pleaese" smiled Jessica sweetly

"Ahh.. CEO of Jungs Holdings sure is different!"
"As compared to some CEO of Kims Enterprise"
"Forever so stingy" teased Sooyoung

"YAH!" Taeyeon shouted as she attempt to kick Sooyoung

"Hahas, stop Taetae, dont quarrel with the chodings!" giggled Jessica

"Alright alright"
"But, is there really nothing wrong with you?"
"You're being really weird, especially today"
"Dont you think so Tiffany?"

"She did?"
"I've got no idea" smiled Tiffany awkwardly
"As long as i got a little gift too, im okay with anything!"

"Hahas, sure TIff"
"You're getting more than what the other girls are getting"
"Same goes to you Taetae"
"This is the benefit of being my bestfriend&girlfriend" said Jessica proudly.
"Lets go!" Jessica said as she tugged her 2 friends off to shop.
 

Tiffany's POV

Jessica's really strange..
Hmm..
Or not?..
Maybe its me who are thinking so much..
Oh well..
I hope everything is fine with her..

End of Tiffany's POV

Later part of the day, when the girls came back with plenty of shopping bags, Jessica took the card back from Sooyoung while Seohyun started.

"Unnie, your card's gonna break if we are not going to go for dinner!" complained Seohyun
"The unnies here are swiping your card like swiping their sweat!"
"Non stop swiping!"

"YAH MAKNAE!" shouted Sooyoung&Hyoyeon
"You also bought something okay!"

"Ani, i didnt buy anything expensive"
"All i bought is Keroro's wallet,doll,bag,pouch.." Seohyun said but was stopped by Sunny

"Okay, basically she bought everything that's related to Keroro in this shopping mall" said Sunny

As soon as she finished talking, the whole group burst into laughters.

"Seohyun, Keroro's gonna be your future boyfriend and our brother-in-law!"
"Right?" teased Yoonyul

"Ani.. unnie.. what wrong with loving Keroro!" protested Seohyun

"Okayokay, nothing's wrong maknae"
"Continue loving your Keroro" said Tiffany

"Girls, i've reserved this buffet restaurant nearby for you all"
"Go and have your dinner there and head back to the dorm after that okay?"
"Be safe you know, im gonna have my dinner with Taeyeon alone" informed Jessica

"AHHH.. ALONE!" teased Yoonyul

"Yup, alone! Like Yoonyul used to" Jessica joked back.
"Okay, now get going, dont lose your shopping bags if not it will be your loss!" shouted Jessica as the girls set off to the buffet restaurant.
"Now, for us"
"Taetae, come follow me" Jessica said as she led Taeyeon to a nearby indoor garden cafe.

The garden cafe at night is amazingly beautiful.
Lights were decorated nicely around the indoor garden cafe, making it look even more romantic and cozy.
Their furnitures placed were all in warm colours, making the customers feel warmth in this cafe.

"Here, Taetae"
"Take a seat" Jessica said as she pulled the chair for Taeyeon

"Why thank you!" chuckled Taeyeon as she sat down on the chair.

"Taetae, i've got you beef steak"
"I remembered its your favourite, right?"

"Yup it is, but this is a cafe"
"How can i get a steak here!" said Taeyeon

"Of course you can, with me around" giggled Jessica as she clapped her hands,
waiters started coming over with steaks and red wine.

"Here's your special order mam"
"Please enjoy" said one of the waiters and left.

"See?"
"its a steak Taetae!"
"No nothing else but steak!"

"I KNOW I KNOW!"
"You win!"

Just then, Jessica's phone rang.

"Whos that?"

"Krystal"

"Oh, how's Krystal after the surgery?"

"She's doing really well after the surgery, fully recovered" smiled Jessica

"Thats good"

"What is good? Krystal's recovering or the steak?" teased Jessica

"Both both!!" Taeyeon said as she munched the steak deliciously with a satisfying look everytime she puts a piece into .

After they completed their dinner, ice creams were served by the waiters.
Taeyeon was surprised to see ice cream because Jessica cant eat one, and she's sure they didnt order any.

"Erm sorry?"
"I think you got the wrong order" said Taeyeon

"Ani, sorry, its right"
"Taetae, i ordered this for us" smiled Jessica

"But you cant eat ice cream"
"You cant eat anything cold"

"Nope, once in awhile is fine"
"Plus, because of me, you have not touched you favourite icecream ages ago"
"So eat it" Jessica said as she pushed the ice cream over to Taeyeon

"Are you sure?"
"We can have something else you know"

"Come one Taetae, you're already drooling"
"Dont act as if you dont want it!"
"I just wanna see you savour this whole bowl up"
"So dont care about me! Just eat!"

"Okay, i'll be eating then!" said Taeyeon happily

Then Taeyeon started savouring on her icecream, every mouthful of icecream she took,
Jessica remembered it down well. She wanted to keep all these as memories after the breakup she intended.
She dont know if she could survive the treatments.
Even if she couldnt, she could still bring this memories with her away for good.
After they finished their meal, Jessica brought Taeyeon to a nearby park.

"Taetae, sit here" Jessica as she motioned Taeyeon to sit under a tree.

As Taeyeon sat down, Jessica got up and stood infront of her.

"Sica?"

"I wanna give you the best memory for the night Taetae"
"Shhh.."

Then, Jessica started singing Tamia's Almost.

Can you tell me
How can one miss what she's never had
How could I reminisce when there is no past
How could I have memories of being happy with you boy
Could someone tell me how can this be
How could my mind pull up incidents
Recall dates and times that never happened
How could we celebrate a love that's to late
And how could I really mean the words I'm bout to say

I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you

I cannot believe I let you go
Or what I should say I shoulda grabbed you up and never let you go
I shoulda went out with you
I shoulda made you my bop boy
Yes that's one time I shoulda broke the rules
I shoulda went on a date
Shoulda found a way to escape
Shoulda turned a almost into
If it happend now its to late
How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real
And if it didn't happen why does my heart feel

I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you

I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you

I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said its impossible to miss when you never had
Never, never almost had you


Then, Jessica's face stiffened.
Her expression was a serious one.

"Taetae, lets break up" said Jessica

"Are you serious?"
"Stop joking around Sica"
"Its not funny" warned Taeyeon

"Im not, i wanna break up with you" said Jessia seriously

"But why?..." Taeyeon asked, with tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Because i never loved you"
"I was just fooling around with you"
"Now that i see your tears, crying over me for breaking up with you"
"Its giving me a sense of satisfaction" laughed Jessica

But deep down inside her heart, its hurting badly.
More than anyone could imagine.
Tears that wanted to flow down her face when she said that,
but had to hold it back.
Cant show a single regret in her eyes in order for Taeyeon to believe that she was just fooling around with her all along.

"Sica..You.." Taeyeon couldnt thought of anything else to say but landed a tight slap on Jessica's face and left running away.

Then, rain started to fall..
From few drops to many drops..
Then it became rainstorm, trees were being blown by the harsh wind,
only to see the two girls who are deeply in love separated due to the sad destiny.

Taeyeon, sat outside the building of her dorm, crying her eyes out under the cold rainstorm.
Wondering why did Jessica break up with her, is it true that she was just fooling around with her and not serious about her?
Or is it that she's got her own reason.
But it cant be, any reason Taeyeon's willing to accept, Jessica knows that.
Taeyeon couldnt think anymore, so she sat there whole night, crying under the rain.

While Jessica, still at the park.
Dropped to her knees after getting slapped by Taeyeon,
too was crying her eyes out.
The only difference is, Jessica's apologising to Taeyeon.
Although Taeyeon cant hear anything, but the apology is seriously from the bottom of Jessica's heart.

"Im sorry Taetae.."
"Please dont hate me although i know you would"
"I loved you, i really loved you"
"Im so sorry for what i've done" cried Jessica in the park.

Their tears fell like the raindrops, nonstop.
The rain soaked Jessica&Taeyeon's whole body while their tears drown their hearts.
Hours later, when the rain stopped, Yoonyul started to get worried for Jessica&Taeyeon since they havent got back yet.
And their phones are unreachable. So Yoonyul together with Sooyoung&Hyoyeon went out to search for them while Sunny,Seohyun&Tiffany stayed behind so as to inform them if anyone has return.
But to their surprise, when Yoonyul,Sooyoung&Hyoyeon got out of the dorm,
they saw Taeyeon's fragile little body lying on the streets.
They ran towards Taeyeon but to find Taeyeon lying unconscious there.

"This is bad.."
"Im sensing something bad" said Yoonyul

"Same here"

"I think we better bring her up first"

WIth that, Hyoyeon piggyback-ed Taeyeon back to the dorm with the other 3 following.

"OH MY GOSH" exclaimed Sunny

"What happened to Taeyeon unnie?" asked Seohyun worriedly as Taeyeon got carried back into the dorm.

"Well, we found on downstairs, soaked like this" said Yoonyul

"And conscious like this" added Sooyoung

"I think we better stop discussing what's going on but help Taeyeon get a change of clothes"
"She's gonna get a cold at this rate"
"Im sure, its just the time thats gonna matter" said Tiffany

"Yeah, i guess so too" agreed Sunny

So the girls went on to help Taeyeon change her clothes and brought her to her bed.
The girls took care of Taeyeon over the night as Taeyeon's fever went higher and higher.

Krystal's side

*Phone call*

"Dr.Choi!"

"Yup Krystal?"

"I think something happened to unnie"
"Can you help me find her? I cant reach her on her mobile"
"Im going out to find her now"
"She's usually not like this"
"Im worried about her"

"Oh really?"
"Okay, i'll be going"
"I'll ask Dr.Kang along too"

"Thanks Dr.Choi"

*End of phone call*

"Unnie.. where are you.." mumbled Krystal
"Please dont meet with any accidents" Krystal mumbled as she prayed silently during her search.

Just as Krystal was walking past a park, she saw a familiar figure bent over while kneeling on the floor.
As she walked closer, soft cries were heard, the cries were very familiar ones.
Ones that Krystal heard ever since she was young.
Then it struck her!
It was Jessica, soaked wet inside out!

"UNNIE!!" Krystal shouted as she ran forward to Jessica
"Why are you so dumb unnie?"
"You hurting so much yet you dont want to let Taeyeon unnie know?"
"That you're giving up on this relationship?" Krystal said as she took off her coat and put it over Jessica's whos shivering so badly.

"Im sorry.. Taeyeon.."
"Jinja byuneh.." cried Jessica

"Aish.."
"I knew it would turn out like this" mumbled Krystal
"Lets go unnie" Krystal said as she helped Jessica up.

But within steps, Jessica out.
Only left Krystal to her own to carry Jessica back.
Thank god Jessica lost weight since she wasnt really healthy and Krystal managed to piggyback Jessica back into her car and drove home.
On the way back, Krystal called Dr.Choi that she found Jessica, and ask that Dr.Choi to go over to their house now since Jessica's delirious.
Forever apologising to Taeyeon.
Its  so sad to see them break up, but Jessica had no choice.
If she didnt make it through all the treatment till she receive a bone marrow, Taeyeon's gonna cry her eyes out.
Jessica rather see Taeyeon hate her, blame her & cry her eyes out now than later.
Jessica's forever being so nice and thoughtful for Taeyeon..
But its always fate thats bringing all these away.
