The next morning soon came without anyone knowing it.
Jessica was exhausted and weak,
lying on the bed resting when she was awoken by the noises happening outside her room.
Weakly getting up from her bed and exiting her room,
she saw her parents supporting onto Krystal into the house.

While going up the stairs,
Mr and Mrs Jung spotted Jessica who was holding onto the stairs for support watching them.

"Sweetie?"
"You're home?"
"Why arent you at work?"

Jessica silently sighed a little to herself.

"Have you settled my work?" asked Mr Jung sternly.

Jessica nodded slowly.

"Then why arent you at work?"
"There are so much at the company for you to handle Jessi"
"Im not available, so youre my daughter you should be doing it for me"

"Appa.."
"I..-"

"Appa, omma"
"Im tired"
"I wanna go back to my room" said Krystal suddenly,
trying to change to subject to get her sister out of trouble.

Mr and Mrs Jung smiled slightly as she turned to Krystal,
and helped her back to her room.

"I guess im a nobody here.." whispered Jessica as she turned back to her room.
"I hate this.. body of mine.."
"If only it could get a little.. stronger.."
"Maybe i should.. get to work..?"

Just as Jessica was hesistating to head off to work or not,
Mr Jung entered her room with a frown.

"Jessi, why are you still lazing on bed?"
"Do you know what time is it now?"

Jessica nodded weakly.

"But appa.."
"Can i not go.. to work today..?"
"I am not feeling.. very well today.."

"You're not feeling well?"
"Then why did you miss the meeting the night before?"
"You had the strength to miss the meeting but no strength to head off to work today?"
"What kind of excuse is this?" scolded Mr Jung angrily.

Jessica's eyes turned watery.

"I'll go now.."
"Even if i die.."
"You wouldnt be bothered.."
"Would you..?" whispered Jessica sadly under her breath as she got off from her bed,
towards the bathroom to get dressed.

15 minutes later,
Jessica was seen exiting the house but was called back by Krystal.

"Unnie!"

Jessica turned slowly and threw her a weak smile.

"Why are you going out?"
"Arent you sick!"
"I saw you in the hospital yesterday!"

Jessica's eyes widened in shock.

"You must have.. seen the wrong person Krystal.."

"I've followed you from my ward!"
"It cant be!"

"..."

"Unnie!"
"You need to rest!"
"I overheard Dr.Tiffany's conversation with Yuri unnie!" insisted Krystal worriedly.

Jessica shook her head.

"Appa wants unnie.. to work.."
"Unnie has.. to go.." said Jessica with a strong coughing fit.

Krystal quickly went to Jessica's back and patted on it.

"Unnie!"
"You're burning!"
"You cant go to work in this state"

"Unnie has meeting to attend.. Krystal.."
"Appa will.. scold unnie if.. i dont.. go.." explained Jessica weakly as she ruffled Krystal's hair weakly.
"Go back to your.. room and rest first.."

"Unnie.."

"Go.."
"Quick.." insisted Jessica firmly.

Krystal sighed a little as she turned to the stairs,
for her room.
Right after that, Jessica exited the mansion and went to the Jungs Corporation building.
She entered the office and headed straight up to Mr Jung's office to see a whole bunch of files waiting for her.
Sighing slightly, Jessica settled down on her seat and massaged her temples stressfully.

"Jessica-sshi" greeted the secretary as she entered the room with a piece of envelop in her hands.

It looked like a piece of invitation.

"This was given out by the Im Garden Supplies"
"It is an invitation to all respectable positions people of the society to a ball"
"Mr Jung says to pass it to you and you'll attend it for me"

Jessica took over the invitation and read.
Nodding her head, the secretary went out.

"I'll die one day.."
"Not anywhere but.. this office.." chuckled Jessica weakly as she pushed everything aside and started working on the different documents that were supposed to be used for the upcoming meetings.

The doorbell of the Jungs mansion rang.

"Nuguseyo" asked Mrs Jung over the speakers.

"Tiffany Hwang and Kwon Yuri imnida"
"We're here for Jessica"

Then a click was heard and the gates slide open for Yuri and Tiffany to enter.
Yuri and Tiffany quickly hastened their footsteps and entered the mansion.
Mrs Jung was standing there waiting for the two of them with a confused look.

"Jessi's not here"
"Why are you two here?"

"WHAT?!"
"Where did she go?!" exclaimed Yuri in shock and worries.

"Where did Jessi go?"
"She needs to stay at home now"
"She isnt in any condition to move around" said Tiffany worriedly.

"Why?"
"She went out to work"
"Her appa asked her to go for work" replied Mrs Jung.

"..."
"Unnie, we need to go get Sica back" said Yuri seriously as she turned to Tiffany.

Tiffany nodded with a sigh.

"You wait for me outside"
"I would like to have a word with Mrs Jung"

Yuri nodded and headed for the door.
After Yuri went out, Tiffany went over to the sofa and sat down,
fishing out a few reports of Jessica's and placed it on the table.

"First thing first"
"I dont want to be dragging"
"So i just want to know"
"Is Jessi important to you as well as Krystal?"

"Of course?"

"Then why arent you paying any attention to Jessi?"

"I did..?"

"You did?"
"Jessi's sick, why did you all let her head off to work?"
"Are you all trying to kill her?"
"Making her handle 2 different position at a go?"

"..."

Tiffany opened up all the reports file and placed it infront of Mrs Jung.

"I dont know if you will be even interested"
"Probably it might even be a good news to you"
"Jessi's condition isnt in at all any good condition"
"And to be honest, her asthma is on the verge of turning into a terminal illness"
"I guess you're her parents so you should at least know"
"But its okay if you arent bothered"
"I'll bring her to the hospital once i find her"
"I wont bring her home because my heart hurts when she wasnt even being bothered at home"

"But i thought she went to the hospital when you called me..?"

"Went to the hospital means shes fine?" mocked Tiffany sacarstically as she packed the files back into her bag.
"You wanna know why she went?"
"Yo dont even bother, do you?"
"When she needed you all the most, where were you?"

"I thought it was just yet another normal asthma attack, catching a cold or flu" said Mrs Jung with a shrug.

"WOW"
"What a pair of loving parents"
"Let me tell"
"That night, when i called you"
"You almost lost Jessi"
"She was trapped in the cold storage of your company"
"If i didnt call her, i dont think you'll ever see her again"
"Her heart stopped beating for a few times in the A&E"
"Where were you parents?"
"Because of your dearest husband scolding her"
"She left the hospital right after she woke up"
"Did you even know that?"
"I bet you dont right?"
"Since im telling everything, i might as well spill everything"
"Jessi, she had just returned from the hospital last night after me checking up on her"
"She was running an extremely high fever but none of you bothered"
"Better still, forcing her to work?"
"She listened to you"
"Visited her sister"
"But as parents-"

Tiffany's phone was vibrating.
Glancing at it, Tiffany sighed and turned to Mrs Jung once again.

"Im leaving"

"But wait"
"Where is Jessi?" asked Mrs Jung guiltily.

"How would i know?"
"Shouldnt you be asking your husband?" said Tiffany as she rolled her eyes in annoyance and exited the mansion.

Hours later,
it was finally time for the ball that Jessica had to attend.
Quickly summing everything up,
Jessica headed out to the car and boarded the car to the venue that was written on the invitation earlier on.

Reaching the place in less than hour,
Jessica got into the place and was shocked to see the place to be extremely quiet.
Taking a step further in,
Jessica's heart was pounding so fast that she could even hear it while walking.
Just then,
a black bag was hooked over Jessica's head and a strong pair of arms dragged her from the yard.

Struggling hard, Jessica couldnt get out of the grasp of the strong arms.

Being brought into a dark room,
Jessica felt that her hands and legs were being tied to the chair.
Minutes later, the black bag over her head were removed only to see Yoona and an unfamiliar face.

"Yoona, i've done what you needed" said the strong muscular man.

"Thanks Taec"
"Owe you one"

"Whats there to owe when you're mine?" chuckled Taecyeon disgustingly.

Jessica's eyes widened in shock at the conversation.

"You were.. cheating Yul..?"

Yoona laughed.

"I am"
"Whats the difference?"
"Shes cheating on me too"
"Plus, i've a revenge to get"

"Yuri loves you.."
"She didnt.. cheat on you.."

"Cheat?"
"HAHA, how naive of you Jessica Jung" said Yoona evily as she grabbed onto Jessica's chin.
"Hot.."
"Yuri is just not clear with her heart"
"And i'll show you just what i mean"
"But not now"
"In an hour or two"
"I'll show it to you"
"For now, you better be good or i cant promise you anything" added Yoona with a smirk before putting her hands over Taecyeon's waist and walked out of the dark room chuckling.

"How can.. this.. happen..?" coughed Jessica painfully.
"Yul.."
"Please.. dont..-"

Jessica's chest started to tighten as she wheezed and gasped for air.
Her hands were tied.
She didnt have her inhaler with her.
All she could do was to wait for her death.

"Yul.." gasped Jessica in pain as tears trickled down her face.

Minutes later, Jessica fell into darkness.
Not knowing if its due to the pain or the oxygen that couldnt get into her windpipe.

"Where is Jessica?!" demanded Yuri angrily as she tugged the secretary's blouse collar.

"Jessica-sshi.. sshhheee.."
"Wweenntt..-"

"Yuri, calm down"
"You're scaring her and its slowing everything" comforted Tiffany as she separated Yuri from the secretary.
"So tell us where is Jessi?" asked Tiffany.

The secretary let out a soft sigh of relief before replying.

"Jessica-sshi went to a ball"
"By the Im Gardening"
"The invitation was received this morning and-"

Before the secretary could continue,
Yuri ran out of the office immediately while Tiffany followed suit.

Yuri's POV

Yoona..
You better not do anything to Sica..
I know you hate her but..

Just please.

End of Yuri's POV

As she was dashing out of the office,
Yuri met Sooyoung who was walking back into the building with a cup of ddeoppokki in her hands after lunch.

"Whats wrong?" asked Sooyoung casually as she saw the flustered Yuri.

Tiffany smiled apologetically and ran after Yuri,
entering the car.
Before Sooyoung could utter another word,
the car infront of them sped off.

A/N: Ops.
Cliff hanger again.

Sorry cause i dont think this story is good!
