Chapter 21

Mistakenly Born..?

Appa&Omma,

Heres breakfast for you two as well as Krystal.
Dont worry, i've asked the doctor about Krystal's diet before buying.
Please dont tire yourselves out.

Jessica.


"Dear"
"Jessi bought us breakfast" said Mr Jung as he passed a set over to Mrs Jung who was sitting by Krystal's side,
watching her.

"Thanks" replied Mrs Jung coldly.

While they were having their breakfast,
Krystal started to stir from her sleep and slowly fluttered her eyes open.

"Hey sweetheart"
"How are you feeling now?" asked Mrs Jung concernly as she held onto Krystal's hands tightly.

Krystal smiled but her eyes wandered around the room,
as if she was searching for someone.

"Why?" asked Mr Jung who saw her actions.

"Unnie.." mumbled Krystal weakly.

"Oh, she had came last night but you werent awake"
"She stayed till morning" said Mrs Jung as she showed Krystal the breakfast Jessica had left behind.
"Heres yours, your unnie bought it for you"

Krystal's lips immediately formed a smile after seeing Jessica's handwriting.
It was indeed her unnie's handwriting.

"Sweetheart"
"If you dont feel well, please do tell appa or omma alright?"
"We've requested the doctor to have your dialysis at night so that you feel any pain"

Krystal nodded with a weak smile.

"Its okay omma.."
"Im good.."

"Krystal"
"Appa will find a donor for you soon, alright?"
"Even if it takes everything"

"Appa, omma"
"Im really fine"
"You two dont really have to worry" said Krystal with an assuringly smile.
"It dont hurt at all"
"Its just that im more easier and prone to bruises"

Mr and Mrs Jung frowned.

"Really" chuckled Krystal cutely.


As soon as Jessica reached home,
she took a quick shower,
had a change of clothes before heading back to the company again.
Jessica didnt have any sleep last night in order to complete all her work to be handed in on time.
Just as she was about to exit the mansion,
the ahjumma in her house called for her.

"Agasshi!"
"Dont you want any breakfast?!" shouted the ahjumma from the dining table.

"Its okay, im in a rush" said Jessica immediately as she exited the mansion.

"But you looked so tired.." mumbled the ahjumma as she returned back to the kitchen.

Cabbing straight to the office,
Jessica had finally made it on time for her second day of internship.
As soon as she had arrived, a mountain pile of documents were already waiting for her.

Jessica sighed although she had expected it.
A day of fatique was getting on her.
Probably others didnt know, but Jessica was diagnosed as an asthmatic patient.
Their level of fatique as compared to others are three times more than usual.

"Hey" called Sooyoung as she walked over to Jessica's table with a smile.
"Good morning!"

Jessica looked up and smiled tiredly.

"Morning"

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Yup" lied Jessica as she started working on the documents.

Sooyoung watched the exhausted latter in work.
Her heart was aching for her.
Without a single word, Sooyoung grabbed a stack and brought it back to her table and worked on it.

Jessica watched Sooyoung with a dumbfounded look.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Jessica curiously.

"Well, i've nothing to do"
"I dont want to be seen as slacking" said Sooyoung with a shrug.
"Im not like them who paints their nails everyday"
"Putting powder on their fake faces every minute"

Jessica chuckled a little.

"But you know, i can manage"
"You dont have to do extra work"
"These are all mine"

"They werent yours"
"Supposedly"
"Ms Lee doesnt seem to like you because you had no family background"
"And the three over there"
"They were bootlicking Ms Lee so they didnt have any work to do"
"In conclusion, Ms Lee is just plain biased" said Sooyoung as she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Well, just get over with it"
"Theres nothing i can do"

Sooyoung couldnt believe her ears.

"You must be kidding me!"
"How are you gonna get over with it?!"
"This damn internship is 6 months!"
"Half a year Sica!"

Jessica's POV

I've went through much more than these..
For over 6 months..
Years to be exact, whats the difference now?

End of Jessica's POV

"I hate them for having to look down on people without any background" added Sooyoung angrily.
"I love you for who you are"

Jessica's eyes widened in shock.

"Ops"
"I mean i love you and the people like you"
"For who you are because people like you are always to down-to-earth" said Sooyoung quickly, trying to cover up her previous sentence.

"Oh.." replied Jessica, relieved.
"I wont want anyone to fall in love with me.." mumbled Jessica softly under her breath.

Hours slowly passed,
the two were working hard at the overload of work.
They had even worked passed the lunch time while the three evil musketeers laughed at the two fools.

"Awwww"
"Isnt it sad to see them working so hard?" asked Tasmin mockingly.

"Of course"
"Im soooo hungryyy~"
"Lets go for a buffet lunch at XXX hotel!"

"Hey fools"
"Dont forget you'll have to leave for a marketing research later"
"At the cold storage" added Tasmin with an evil smirk.

Jessica mentally rolled her eyes at the three.
They were over the merely annoying level for Jessica.
As soon as they left, Sooyoung turned to Jessica with a puzzled expression.

"Whats a cold storage?"
"Why do we have to go?"

"A cold storage is a place where its like a fridge but far much colder"
"And they store things that has to be kept at such a low temperature to keep it from spoiling"
"I have got no idea"
"But Sooyoung, i'll go for you"
"You've helped me far too much today"
"So just head home after you're done"
"I'll handle the marketing research for you later"

Sooyoung's lips literally curved into a huge smile.

"Cheongmal?!"

Jessica nodded with a grin.

"But i'll need to go out and grab some stuff first"
"Stay here for me alright?" said Jessica as she got up from her seat and headed for the door.

2 hours later, Jessica came back into the quiet office with only Sooyoung there.
But instead of seeing Sooyoung working hard, she had actually dozed off.
Smiling at the dorkiness of Sooyoung, Jessica took her jacket from her bag and covered it over Sooyoung before placing a lunchpack on her table.

"Thanks Sooyoung for being here for me" whispered Jessica softly as she packed all the other documents and work she had on her hands, as well as those she had collected from Mr Jung's office earlier and headed out for the cold storage marketing research.

An hour later, Jessica had arrived at the cold storage of the Jung's,
which was also Mr Jung's property.
It was the cold storage for wine, top high graded wines.

Entering the cold storage after gaining the permission of the in-charge,
Jessica went in and studied the way the different wines were stored etc.
While she was engrossed in her research, Jessica heard a few chuckles.
But before she could make out who it was, a horror struck her.

The cold storage's door closed with a huge bam.
Running towards the door, Jessica tried to open it up was to no avail.
It was locked on the outside.

Jessica wanted to call for help, but it was useless.
The door was far to thick to let the sound travel out,
and that time, it was already knocking off time.
Who would be bothered to purposely come down to the cold storage to check things out.

Sighing, knowing that she would be stuck here for the night,
Jessica decided to walk around the cold storage, to complete her research.
As night falls, the cold storage's temperature became colder than usual.

Jessica's started to feel colder and colder as her legs give up on her.
Falling to the ground, Jessica hugged her knees together in a corner,
rubbing her hands together, blowing warm air into her hands.
Jessica's face were turning pale while her lips turned purple.

Jessica's POV

Why on earth..
Does people wanna do this to me..?
Am i that hateful..?

I remembered myself..
Being loved by Yuri and my parents..
But now..?
Probably its the best time for me to end my life now..
Isnt it..?

I love you appa, omma and Krystal..
And you too, Yul..

End of Jessica's POV

As minutes passed, Jessica's situation detoriated.
Her eyes were getting sleepy, eyelids were falling.
Soon, Jessica fell to the ground unconsciously.
Jessica's heartbeat weaken as minutes ticked past.

She would wake up in awhile but her mind werent functioning well.
Just then, her phone rang.

"Jessi?"

"..."
"..."

"Jessi, where are you?"

"Uuunnniieeee.." whispered Jessica, chattering her teeths.
"Cccoolldddd..."

"JESSI!"
"WHERE ARE YOUU?!"

"Cccollddd.."
"Sssttoooraaaggee.."
whispered Jessica over the phone before she let the phone slide out of her hands.

Her body was too numb for anything.
Jessica then fell onto the ground unconsciously.


"!" cursed Tiffany as she grabbed her coat and car keys before speeding out to the cold storage she thought Jessica would be in.

Tiffany had just returned to Korea hours ago.
She missed Taeyeon too much which made her come back to Korea.
Well, who can separate lovers apart?

Tiffany wanted to tell Jessica that shes back in Korea so that if anything goes wrong,
Tiffany will be there for her.

Within 15 minutes of drive, Tiffany had arrived at the carpark of the cold storage.
Tiffany quickly went to get the security guard who was dozing off at the post to open up the cold storage.
To Tiffany's horror, she saw Jessica lying on the ground motionlessly.

Dashing towards Jessica, Tiffany quickly carried her out.

"Jessi!!"
"Wake up!!!" called Tiffany as she wrapped her coat around Jessica.
"Call the ambulance you useless fool!" shouted Tiffany angrily at the frozen security guard.

With a nervous nod, the security guard scurried off.

"Jessi.."
"Please.."
"Please wake up.."
"You have so many people around you who loves and needed you" begged Tiffany as she rubbed Jessica's hands with hers for warmth.
"Please.. Jessi"

Jessica still werent responding.
Her lips were purple, face were as pale as paper.
Tiffany quickly put her fingers over at Jessica's neck, checking for her pulse.
It was really weak, Tiffany could barely felt it.

"Please Jessi!!" cried Tiffany as she hugged Jessica tightly,
trying to warm Jessica up.

But how easy could that be?
That cold storage, it was for wines.
The temperature were at least -5 degrees celcius.
10 minutes later, the ambulance arrived and they quickly got Jessica up onto the ambulance.
Tiffany followed with them as she took over the situation on the ambulance.

"Please.."
"Dont Jessi.."
"Dont give up.." whispered Tiffany in tears.
"You have us, Yuri and your family Jessi.."

Jessica didnt even stirred a single bit.
Just then, her blood pressure started dropping furiously as the machines beeped furiously.

"Quick!"
"Give her 7ml of XXX!!!" instructed Tiffany as she replaced Jessica's oxygen mask with a manual ones as she started pressing on it.

"Please"
"Jessi, we cant lose you"
"You're precious"
"Its just that Yuri nor your parents know it" mumbled Tiffany as she tried her best to help to regulate Jessica's heart rate and blood pressure.

Few minutes later, everything had started to calm down.
But Jessica's vitals were weak.
Tiffany let out a sigh of relief despite that because they had arrived at the hospital.

"Please, Jessi you'll live through" whispered Tiffany as she let the rest of the doctors handle her.

While waiting for the results,
Tiffany called Jessica's parents but were rejected with a few texts.

"We're in the hospital taking care of Krystal, cant pick up calls"
"Whats wrong?"

"Jessi is in the hospital"
"A&E department"
"Can you please come over?"

"Maybe its just a slight exaggerated flu"
"She'll feel better"
"Dont worry"

"Even a slight exaggerated flu can kill her!"
"Cant you come over to take a look at her?!"
"Shes fighting for her life!"

"Dont be silly Tiffany"
"Its a flu, thats all"
"I've to turn off my phone now"


"Damn parents like you!" cursed Tiffany angrily as she slammed her phone onto the chair.

Tiffany then picked up her phone again and dialled for Yuri.

"Yoboseyo"

"Yul, Jessi's in the hospital"
"Can you come down now?"

"..."

"Yul?"

"Sica doesnt want me to be too concern over her"
"I think i'll give it a miss unnie" replied Yuri hesistantly.

"Why cant anyone of you show her some concern?!" exploded Tiffany.
"She is on the verge of giving up her damn life!"

"I tried, but she pushed me away unnie!"

"But you were the one hurting her times after time!" defended Tiffany immediately.

"Sorry unnie, got to go"


"Jessi, im really sorry.."
"For not being able to get anyone you love to see down.." whispered Tiffany sadly.

Tiffany was sad and guilty.
For not being able to take care of Jessica whom she sees her as her dongsaeng.
As her doctor in-charge, she couldnt help much.

Hours later, the doctors came out and went towards Tiffany.

"Dr.Hwang"

"How is she?"

"We've tried our best"
"Its up to her already"
"But the good news here is"
"She has yet to be concluded as brain dead"
"Tonight is the most crucial part of the whole thing"
"You should get her family down"
"She didnt have any will to fight on Dr. Hwang"
"Her heart rate almost went dead for a few times"

Tiffany nodded sadly.

"Can i go and visit her now?"

The doctors nodded with an encouraging smile.
With that, the doctors left Tiffany alone.
Tiffany then headed towards Jessica's ward after enquiring with the nurses.

Entering the room,
machines, wires and tubes were over Jessica's pale body.
The huge oxygen mask that was over her nose and mouth.
Tiffany's heart ached for her.

Settling down beside Jessica's bed,
Tiffany held onto Jessica's hands and caressed it with a concerned look.

"Jessi, you have to fight on"
"You cant, i wont let you be announced with brain dead"
"You get me?"
"You have to tell me what happened"
"Unnie will get it back for you"
"You have to get Yuri back to you Jessi"
"You hear me?!" exasperated Tiffany in tears.


"Where am i now..?" mumbled Jessica as she walked around the beautiful looking environment with fresh flowers,
birds chirping and cool  breeze.

Jessica was enjoying the relaxed feelings inside it.
She laid down onto the grass patch, and felt a few drops of water landing on her face.

"Jessi, you have to fight on"
"You cant, i wont let you be announced with brain dead"
"You get me?"
"You have to tell me what happened"
"Unnie will get it back for you"
"You have to get Yuri back to you Jessi"
"You hear me?!"

"The voice.."
"Its so familiar.."
"But i dont want to return back there anymore.."
"Unnie.. im feeling so good here.."
"What happened..?"


Flashback;

Entering the cold storage after gaining the permission of the in-charge,
Jessica went in and studied the way the different wines were stored etc.
While she was engrossed in her research, Jessica heard a few chuckles.

"Cccollddd.."
"Sssttoooraaaggee.."
whispered Jessica over the phone before she let the phone slide out of her hands.


End of flashback;

"You shouldnt be here yet my dear" interrupted a sweet soothing voice.

Jessica turned to her back to see a motherly caring figure behind her,

smiling at her lovingly.

"Who are you?"

"Im here to get you back to where you belong my dear"
"You shouldnt be here"
"You have so much more to complete"
"Your time isnt up yet"

"But i love here"
"I hate where i came from"


"But have you heard the cries of the people who cared about you?"
"Have you thought of what will become of them if you stayed on?"

"No one cared for me"
"No one loved me"
"I worth nothing there"
"My adopted sister was more important than me"
"My lover doesnt love me but hurt me more"
"Tell me what have i been left with?" said Jessica in tears.

"My dear, they have yet to realise their real feelings"
"They are blinded by some stuff"
"Your unnie, shes crying for you"
"Why not you head back to where you belong?"
"If there is another time where you come back here again, i'll let you decide?"

Jessica pondered for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.
The lady smiled as she held her hands out to Jessica.
Grabbing onto it, she led Jessica into a bright beam of light.


"Unnie.." whispered Jessica softly as she slowly fluttered her eyes opened,
only to see Tiffany's head on the side of her bed.
