After taking the plane for 6.5hours, Jessica finally landed in Singapore.
Dragging her luggage out of the arrival hall, Jessica had this tint bit of lost feeling.
Its her first time in Singapore, although language wasnt a problem for her since everywhere in Singapore was filled with English.
People from Singapore speaks English all the time too.
Jessica learnt her English when she was younger during the stay in America.

Standing outside the gate of the arrival hall,
Jessica saw lots of family members waiting for their loved ones to arrive back to their safe warm arms.
While lovers hugged each other so tightly that even if there's a sudden hurricane,
it wouldnt blow them apart but blow them away together.

Jessica's POV

Sigh..
How i wish i had a family like those..
Or maybe someone who loved me..

But now, i've got no one..
Oh well..

End of Jessica's POV

Dragging her feet to the nearby taxi stand, she took out her phone which her mum had texted her the address of her new house,
and showed it to the driver.

"Excuse me"
"Can you get me to this place?" asked Jessica as she showed the driver the address

"Oh here?"
"Sure thing" replied the driver as he started changing the gear of the car.

After a 30 minutes driver, Jessica finally reached the place that was on the address.

"Well, here's the place"
"Wow, miss, you're pretty rich to be able to live here" commented the driver as he fiddled his wallet for some change for Jessica

"Is it expensive to stay here?" asked Jessica politely

"Oh, houses in Singapore are actually pretty costly"
"Not like America or something, with a few hundred Ks"
"You can only get a HDB flat instead of a private house like America"
"This house here" said the driver as he pointed to a semi-D private house
"Should cost a few million"
"Plus this district here - Orchard is considered the heart of Singapore"
"So its a lot more expensive then others" explained the driver

"Oh.."
"Thanks" smiled Jessica as she got off the taxi

Walking to her new house, Jessica fiddled around her bag for the keys that her mum had passed it to her.
Opening the gate&door, Jessica walked into the big house.
The house is really considered big, but of course not as big as Jessica's Korea mansion.
Afterall, it was a mansion there and not just any other private house here.

Jessica's POV

Such a big house..
I think i'll just live out on my own&work part-time..
Dont really want appa&omma to think im living on them..
Plus, independence, isnt that what they want?
And, since they dont even want me to live in Korea with them.
Chasing me out, by giving me such nice house to make it up for me?
Please, i dont even need it.

End of Jessica's POV

Leaving her lugguage in the house, Jessica went out to the streets,
looking around the malls hoping to find a house agency or something.
To her surprise, she managed to find one.
Walking into it, she was greeted warmly by the property agents.

"Welcome Miss"
"What are you looking for?"

"Oh, im looking for a small room rental"
"I wanna rent a some room"
"Im just a student here from Korea" explained Jessica

"Ah, overseas student?"
"So may i ask where do you study?" asked the property agent as he motioned Jessica over to the seats

"I've been accepted in Ngee Ann polytechnic's international business studies" replied Jessica

"Ngee Ann polytechnic is at Clementi area"
"So would you like to have a room at the Clementi area or?"

"Anywhere that is not costly will do"

"Oh okay sure"
"Do you prefer master bedroom or just a normal room?"
"With aircondition or not?"

"Master bedroom if possible"
"And yup, with air condition" replied Jessica

"Okay, so if you want"
"I can bring you to these houses thats located at Yishun"
"Yishun's houses are much cheaper" said the property agent

"Sure, but can i move in immediately?"

"Immediately?"
"I guess i can do that for you if you want" smiled the property agent

After a few hours of viewing the different houses&rooms,
Jessica finally decided on a masterbed room at Ang Mo Kio area.
The place was located near the mall, mrt&bus interchange.
So its pretty convenient for Jessica to travel around.

Landing in Singapore for quite some time already,
Jessica still have yet to call her mum,
but instead had her phone switched off.

Mrs Jung's side

"Dear"
"Why cant i reach Sooyeon's phone?"
"I've been directed to the voicemail for so many times"
"Its already 8pm there"
"She should have arrived there already" said Mrs Jung worriedly

"Dont worry about it"
"She's probably still mad at us"
"For throwing her to Singapore" said Mr Jung nonchalently while flipping through the newspaper

"Dear"
"How could you be so relax about it!"
"What if she's kidnapped or something!" exclaimed Mrs Jung

"Oh come on"
"Nothing's gonna happen"
"By the way, if she ever got into any contact with her"
"Do tell her to visit this doctor for her regular checkup" said Mr Jung as he passed a name card to Mrs Jung

"So you do care for her.." commented Mrs Jung

"Of course i do"
"Who said i dont?"
"She's my only daughter, i just wanted her to have a change of environment&independence" replied Mr Jung

"I dont know about it.."
"Im missing her already dear.."

"I'll be lying if i say i dont miss her"
"But i need her to be independent if she's going to take over my company"
"You know that right?"

"Yeah.."
"Sure.."

Yuri's side

"Sica-ah.."
"Why cant i get through your phone..?"
"How are you doing in Singapore..?" mumbled Yuri softly as she laid on her bed

Yuri's POV

Since she had her phone switched off,
i should just drop her an email..
Im sure she checks her email everyday..
Hopefully..
Cause she does that all the time..

End of Yuri's POV

*EMAIL*

Sica-ah, why did you leave for Singapore without telling me?
I miss you now, best friend, when are you coming back?
Call me soon );

*END OF EMAIL*

On the other side,
Jessica was lying on her bed flat exhausted.
She was really tired after getting off the flight&started travelling around the place looking for a new place to stay.
Lying for like an hour or so, Jessica finally got up&started unpacking her luggages.
After unpacking, she sat on her bed, switched on her laptop&handphone.

It was then that she was shocked to see so many missed calls, voicemails&messages.
Most of them were from her mum&Yuri.

"Yuri..?" mumbled Jessica as she tapped her phone a few times to read the messages

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

*PHONE CALL*

"OMONA!"
"I've finally gotten through!"
"Sweetie! How can you off your phone for so long!"
"Im so worried about you!"

"I wont die alone" replied Jessica coldly
"If you're worried, you wouldnt even send me here"

"Its for your own good sweetie!"
"How are you there in Singapore?"

"Like this like that"

"Whats like this like that?"
"Have you moved into the house?"
"Do you like it?"
"Is it comfortable?"

"Yeah" lied Jessica coldly

"Sweetie, your appa has got you a doctor there"
"I've texted you his name&number"
"Make an appointment with him for your regular checkup okay?"

"Why should i?"
"Shouldnt you all just leave me here while i rot to death" mocked Jessica sacarstically

"Aww"
"Sweetie, dont be like this"

"Forget it"
"Im tired, im turning in now" snapped Jessica as she ended the call

*END OF PHONE CALL*

Checking through the emails from her laptop,
Jessica found an email from Yuri.

*EMAIL*

Sica-ah, why did you leave for Singapore without telling me?
I miss you now, best friend, when are you coming back?
Call me soon );

*END OF EMAIL*

Jessica's POV

Should i call her?
I really wanna call her..
But i need to forget her..
Sigh..

Forget it,
I'll stop thinking about Yuri,
stop answering her calls or anything.

Think that will do the job.
At least she's happy with YoonA.
Thats it.

End of Jessica's POV

After checking her email,
Jessica laid tiredly on her bed&fell asleep really quickly.
Drifting off to her dreamland, hoping to get a better tomorrow when she wakes up.
