RECAP.

Tiffany replied sadly as she turned back to stare at the night sky again.

Where are you Jessi?
I really still can't take the fact that you're gone.
That you've left me, and broke up with me.

Jessi, i can't live without you.
Will you come back for me?

Im sorry for what i've done to you.
I promise i'll make it all up for you.
I promise.

Just please don't leave me.

After my musical tour around South America, i'll return to Korea.
And to search for you, to get you back.
Please wait for me Jessi, i'll get you back.

Because i cannot live without you.
I love you.

Jessica slammed the headphones down onto the desk before running off to her car.
On her way out, she grabbed Sooyoung's bulletproof vest and sped off.

How stupid are you Choi Sooyoung?!
That killer is obviously trying to lure you out!

He's obviously coming after me but made it looked like he's after you!
Why can't you think or at least, give me a call!?

You better be alright you fool!
If not im going to be blaming myself for the whole lifetime!

Jessica sped straight off to the abandoned car junkyard, not even informing anyone in the building.
Because deep in her heart, Sooyoung, her bestfriend's life was at stake.
A bestfriend that stood by her no matter how much tantrums or temper she threw at her,
Sooyoung still stayed behind with her.

Swerving her car straight into the junkyard, Jessica did not even bother to have her car parked nicely.
Turning the engine off, she bolted out of the car almost immediately.
While walking towards the direction her mind told her to, which is right infront of her,
Jessica sensed that something was terribly wrong.

It was all so quiet, and peaceful.. yet.

"Sooyoung?"
"Are you here?!"

Jessica shouted as she looked around the area, trying to spot Sooyoung in that piece of messy junkyard but of course,
no luck at all.

Where are you, you stupid shikshin?!
Are you even here or i've been cheated?!

Goddamnit!
This is pushing me far too much!

"Hey!?"
"I know there is someone out here who can hear me!"
"Isn't me the one you're after?!"
"Im here!"
"With no one, no weapons or whatsoever!"
"Im willing to exchange myself for Sooyoung!"

Jessica shouted into all directions, while her voice echoed out.
A clap was then heard behind her, with a familiar sarcastic chuckle.

Spinning herself around immediately, Jessica stared at the tall, muscular built man who was wearing a mask over his head.
Revealing only that pair of freaky eyes.

"Well well"
"Who do we have here now?"
"Isn't it the almighty forensic scientist, Jung Jessica?"

The low dull voice spoke, emphasizing on Jessica's name.

"Aren't you so mighty and smart?"
"Why can't you nab me?"
"Im sick of playing with your low intelligence"
"You're still as stupid and weak as ever"

As ever..?
I mean, this pair of freaky eyes..
Yes it is freaky.

But..
Why so familiar..

"Release Sooyoung!"
"Im done playing games with you too!"
"Where is she?!"

"Uh-oh"
"The smarty pants is upset now"

Five men started crowding around Jessica, going near her with a gun in each of the men's hands.
But they were all too, wearing a black mask over their heads revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"What do you want from me?!"
"Isnt me the reason you're doing all those sick crimes?"
"Killing the innocent?!"
"Im here at your mercy now, cant you let those people off?!"
"Cant you let Sooyoung off?!"

"I mean, why should i?"
"I enjoy seeing you people panic over each other"

Sinister laughters filled Jessica's ears.

"Why?"
"Tell me what do you want, we'll talk about it peacefully okay?"
"I'll try to help you not to be arrested"
"Talk to me about your problems"
"Please, just let Sooyoung off"

Jessica reasoned out, or actually, to be pleading with the tall, muscular built guy.
All she wanted to do then was to save Sooyoung and nothing else because that pair of expression Yoona held over her face when she came running towards Jessica for help kept replaying in Jessica's head.

"You really couldnt recognise me, can you, Jung Jessica?"
"You're really useless and weak"

"Re..cog..nise..?"

Jessica whispered in disbelief, eyes widened in shock.

Recognise you..?
How can it be..?

But the eyes, the voice..
Its really familiar..

"Everyone of you get out and head back to the useless prosecutor"
"I'll be back with this lass later"

The tall, muscular built guy instructed but his men were a bit reluctant since it took them awhile to retreat away.

"You really couldn't recognise me?"

He let out a laugh as he slowly pulled his mask off.
Jessica couldn't believe her eyes, to see who was standing right infront of her.

"It.. can't.."
"Can't.."

Jessica muttered in disbelief as she retreated in her steps, tears forming in her eyes.

"Aww"
"Aren't you touched?"
"Your family member to be thought as dead, is now alive"
"Shouldn't you be pouding on my and hugging me?"
"Your daddy is alive, isn't it?"

He laughed evilly before speeding over, right infront of Jessica with an upset and heartless cold look.
He hissed at Jessica in disgust, placing his strong fingers around Jessica's neck.

"Do you know why am i back?"
"Do you..?"

Jessica kept quiet, as tears flowed down her cheeks despite the fact that she was choking.
Started coughing, he let Jessica down.

"Awww"
"Our baby girl here, is falling sick already, isn't it?"

Jessica struggled to get on her feets as tears flowed down her face.

"Appa..?"
"But why..?"

"Oh, you've finally spoken"
"Well, i hate you"
"I hate you for breaking our family up"

"Our..?"

"You were not even my own flesh and blood!"
"You are just a child your mom gave birth with another guy!"
"You're not mine at all yet i took care of you!"
"And because of you, you broke my family apart!"
"You're the cause of Krystal!"

"Krystal..?"
"But.."

Jessica took a few seconds to calm her down before continuing.

"I know, i know it's all my fault"
"If i hadn't insisted that all of you should come and pick me up from school that day.."
"I know.."
"But appa, im really sorry.."

"Sorry?"

He laughed.

"What is sorry?"
"I don't know about sorry"
"All i know is, i've lost my baby Krystal"
"Did you know how small and tiny she was?!"
"DID YOU?!"

"Appa, im really sorry"

Jessica sobbed as she fell to her knees, pushing all the blame to herself.

"I didn't mean it.."
"I didn't ask for the landslide to happen.."
"I didn't.."

"It was all your fault and not the landslide!"
"If you didn't insist that fateful date!"

Jessica nodded remorsefully in tears.

"This is all my fault"
"Please, let Sooyoung and the others off"
"Just do whatever you want with me"
"Kill me or whatever you think i should be done to be forgiven by you"
"Just don't hurt my friends, appa"

"Why?"
"I mean, why should i be so nice to you when you don't deserve it at all?"

"Appa, please!"

Jessica pleaded, as she got to her feets and approached her father in tears.

Yes.
I know, its all my fault.
If only i hadn't insisted on having all of you out together to pick me up..

None of you would have met with the landslide.
None of you would have left me.
None of my friends would be in danger now.

No one.
None.

Im sorry, appa.
But please, let Sooyoung and my friends off.
They are innocent.

But appa, is there only you?
What about omma?
Did she survive too?

How did you survive..?

"Well, let me bring you in to take a look at your beloved friend, shall we?"
"Our poor girl, aww"
"Stop crying, daddy hate tears"

Jessica's tears couldn't stop flowing and Joonghwa just landed a tight slap on Jessica's cheeks.

"Told you to stop crying, didn't i?!"
"Such a weakling!"

Joonghwa flared up as he grabbed Jessica by her neck roughly and dragged her into a old, dark and isolated factory located inside the junkyard, which Jessica thought that it used to be a car repair shop.

Pushing her to the floor, she lifted her head up and saw Sooyoung's wrists were tied to a pole and left hanging in the midair from the second level of the automotive shop, kicking her legs furiously and wanting to shout out loud, as if she was cursing the men around her yet Sooyoung was blindfolded.

For a moment, Jessica was glad.
Glad that Sooyoung was still alive, unhurt and unharmed.

"Appa, please!"
"I beg you, take me in instead of her!"
"Let her go!"

Jessica begged as she turned towards Joonghwa, holding onto his legs.
Sooyoung, upon hearing Jessica's voice, she stopped.

Sooyoung shouted, but her voice was muffled by the cloth stuffed in .

"Give me a good reason why should i exchange her for you?"
"I like to see you in much pain"
"So that it can take away the pain i experienced, losing Krystal"

Jessica thought for a short moment, for a reason to make Joonghwa believe her,
and release Sooyoung.

"Because you can torture me all you want"
"And make me go through the level of pain you did emotionally to me physically"
"It will appease you because you know my tolerance level for physical pain"
"Just let Sooyoung go and i'll let you do anything for me!"

"Sounds like a good deal"
"But what if i let this sneaky prosecutor off and she'll go and bring her whole gang here to nab me"
"And save you?"

"No!"
"She won't!"
"Once she left, the case will be considered close!"
"You can just bring me out to anywhere you want"
"Till you're appeased"

"Wow"
"Sounds like a great deal to me"

"Or till im dead.."

Jessica added in a soft whisper.

"Can you please let her off now?"
"Please, and stop killing those innocent to get our attentiton, appa"
"It's really.."

"Really?"
"Come on, speak your mind"
"You know i'll definitely allow you to"

Joonghwa taunted Jessica with an evil laughter.
No one would actually believe they are father and daughter.

"I mean nothing.."

"You don't feel like speaking your mind, do you?!"

Joonghwa boomed as he gave a nod to the guy standing on the second level, next to Sooyoung.
Within seconds, he gave Sooyoung a harsh whack on the stomach with the baseball bat which made Sooyoung let out a scream of pain.

"Nononono!"
"Please!"
"Just let Sooyoung go!"
"I beg you!"
"Don't hurt her, appa!"
"Don't!"

"Don't hurt her..?"
"How about i'll hurt you?"

Jessica had a shock at Joonghwa's response for a few seconds before calming back down.

"Anything!"
"Everything was caused by me!"
"Just let Sooyoung go!"
"I'll let you do anything to me!"
"Just please!"

Jessica begged in tears while Joonghwa just smirked at blindfolded struggling body before the man standing beside it let it drop to the floor.
Immediately, Jessica crawled over to Sooyoung and removed her blindfold, as well as the cloth stuck to .

"Sica!"
"Wha-"

Jessica put her index finger over Sooyoung's lips as she examined Sooyoung's body carefully despite the tears that were streaming down her face.

"Don't Soo"
"I want you to go out now"
"And never return, forget about me"
"Is that clear?"
"Go to a hospital immediately and check if you have any fractured or broken bone"
"I don't want you to be in any danger because of me"


"Sica"
"Listen, it's not your fault"
"The accident"
"It really wasn't your fault"
"Don't, don't let him ruin you Sica!"
"I'll get reinforcement here!"
"Delay him!"

"No-"

Sooyoung whispered into Jessica's ears but was soon dragged away by the men and threw her by the roadside.

Sica..

Why..?
Why are you giving yourself up to that man?

He was your father.
He no longer is, don't you get it?

He shouldn't have blamed you for the fatal accident even though i don't know how did he survive.
He didn't even know how much you went through after the accident.

You had went through a few tough years, visiting the psychiatrist every weekend,
eventually developing the phobia of driving after being able to drive.

You went through that much, isn't it enough?

Can't you see that 'dad' you claimed, wasn't even in his right mind now?
Why are you so silly, sica?

What about Tiffany that you claimed to have love?
What is going to happen to her?

And you just gave everything up and surrender to that man?

Sica, wait for me.
I'll come back for you.
Please, hang in there.

"Oh no"
"Your best friend has left you, sweetheart"
"Now what are you left with?"

"Appa.."
"Can we have a talk?"

"A talk?"

Joonghwa laughed to himself, nodding his head.

"Sure sure"
"A talk between father and daughter"

"Appa.."
"Where is omma..?"

"Omma?"

Joonghwa laughed, once again.

"Your mom?"
"You still remembered her?"
"What a fillial daughter, isn't it?"
"Your mom, she is still alive!"
"ALIVEEEE!"

He screamed, throwing every single thing around the area that came into eye contact with him.

"Where..?"

"IN MY HEART!"
"JUST LIKE KRYSTAL!"
"AND YOU SHALL DIEEEEEEE~"

He hissed, this time, full of hatred and anger.

"Tie her up and knock her out!"
"We're moving before that ty prosecutor comes!"

With that, the other masked men came over and pulled Jessica up roughly, tying her hands with thick ropes tightly.
The next thing, they had a baseball bat hit over the back of Jessica's head and she fell limp, falling to the ground.

Laughing at Jessica's plight, Joonghwa nodded with satisfaction as he moved to the car and waited for a short moment before Jessica was loaded into the boot of the car and drove off.

"Arrghh.."

Jessica let out a groan as she finally found herself, struggling to open her eyes to a brand new environment.
But that environment was familiar, extremely familiar environment.

The soft bed.
Only that it was a little more dusty.

Jessica let out a coughing fit.

A laugh was heard right after that.

"Is that too dusty for our baby girl?"
"Oh so sorry, appa had totally forgotten that our baby girl once had asthma"
"Isn't it so?"

Jessica let out another cough.

"Appa..?"

Jessica croaked out.

"Why don't you just kill me..?"

"Kill you?"
"Why should i?"
"You're my daughter, isn't it?"

"Appa.."

What is wrong with you, appa?
What turned you into a killing maniac..?

What forced you into such a state?
Your mental health is declining, appa.

Why?
Don't, don't be like this because of me, appa.

"Let appa think.."
"What triggers your asthma in the past?"
"Dust?"
"Or your ridiculously stupid allergy towards cucumbers?"

"Appa, please"
"What do you want?"
"You need to visit a doctor.."

"Doctor?!"
"WHY WOULD I EVEN NEED ONE?!"
"I THINK YOU'LL BE THE ONE NEEDING ONE!"

Joonghwa laughed as a bunch of staff in white entered the room, gloves and masks all equiped to them.
Jessica sat up and moved to the corner of the bed but it was useless.

In an enclosed room, where could she possibly run towards?

"Appa is worried about your health sweetheart"

This time, Joonghwa's voice turned sweet and gentle, together with a soft smile.

"Appa got you doctor and nurses to take care of you, sweetheart"

Jessica stared at Joonghwa in horror, at how fast he could change his voice, tone and expression.
Before Jessica could utter another word, her arm was stabbed with a thick infus as they hung up a light green liquid over to Jessica's infus.

"What's that?"

Jessica let out a cough as she pointed towards the liquid, asking the staff but instead,
they did not utter a single word of response but just walked out of the room.

"Oh, i forgot to tell you, sweetheart"
"Its a cucumber juice"
"Purely extracted from cucumber"

What?!

Cucumber juice?!
I can't!

It will definitely trigger the discomfort in my weak lungs!
And before long, my asthma will return!
No..

Appa.. 
Why..?
Do you really want to torture me to my death..?

I know, i know you've been blaming me about Krystal and omma's death.
But..]

"Appa heard, freshly extracted cucumber juice are the best for skin"
"As well as the rich vitamins in it"
"Watching you work so hard and solving cases every single day"
"Appa thought this was one of the best way to help you"

Joonghwa explained seriously as he looked out of the window, playing with the zippo lighter that was in his hands.
As the liquid flowed through Jessica's veins, and through her body, she started coughing badly on bed.

"What do you think of our home, sweetheart?"
"Why did you stop living in here..?"
"Don't you miss your parents and little sister?"

Joonghwa sighed and shook his head, now turning back to Jessica, with an angered expression.
He moved towards Jessica at a scary speed and their faces were only inches apart.

"STOP COUGHING WILL YOU!?"

Joonghwa boomed and slapped Jessica hard on her cheeks but she couldnt stop coughing.
Instead, her chest started to tighten as she wheezed and coughed.

Her hands were about to pull the infus off when Joonghwa took a bottle nearby and smacked her hands roughly.

"Appa.."

Jessica croaked out in between coughs.

"T..tak..e.. ou..t.."
"P..plea..se.."
"Cc..can..t.."
"Bre..ath..e.."

Jessica whispered in pain as she struggled to stay awake, hands reaching out to Joonghwa but to no avail.
Joonghwa did not even show a sign of sympathy.
All he had in his eyes were just hatred and anger.

All he wanted was revenge.

"Yoon..a.."

Sooyoung called weakly as she finally found her way back to the lobby of the building.
Holding onto the counter of the reception area, Sooyoung could barely stand due to the abdomen pain she had suffered from the baseball hit.

"Prosecutor Choi!"

"Call.. Yoona.."

The security guard exclaimed in shocked as he ran over to support her, while his colleague went to make a quick call for Yoona.
Within minutes, Yoona came running down to the lobby, all flustered.

As soon as she saw Sooyoung struggling hard to keep herself standing, Yoona dashed towards her and hugged her tight.
Tears started trickling down her face.

"Unnie.."
"I thought you.."

Yoona sobbed, hugging Sooyoung ever tightly.

"Yoona.."
"Get.. people to save Sica.."
"Sica.."

"Sica unnie?"
"Where is Sica unnie?"

Yoona asked, breaking the hug and supporting Sooyoung strongly to a nearby seat.
Sooyoung shrugged and shook her head as she struggled to speak.

The pain in her abdomen were getting more and more excruciating as she clutched onto her abdomen in pain.

"I don't know.."
"She exchanged.. herself for me.."

"WHAT?!"
"Then how do we look for her now?!"
"They must have left the place where you returned!"
"How?!"

"Check.. the carplate.."
"JH3894.."

Yoona frowned as cold sweat trickled down Sooyoung's forehead.

"Im bringing you to the hospital first, unnie"
"I'll ask the rest to check the nearby cameras that were installed at the road"
"And the carplate number that you've told me"

"You.. have to find Sica fast.."
"That guy.."
"His mental health has declined badly.."

"Okay okay, i will unnie"
"Lets get you to the hospital for treatment first"

With that, Yoona piggybacked Sooyoung out of the lobby with the help of the security guard and got onto a cab,
speeding off to the nearest hospital to get Sooyoung treated.

How much do we owe Sica unnie?
She did so much for us, for me and Sooyoung unnie.

I have to save her..
Please, god.

Please, just keep her safe and we'll get back to her.
Unnie, stay strong.

I'll promise to get Tiffany unnie back for you too..
Just, stay strong.

"Hello?"
"Nicole?"

Yoona whispered softly as she stood by the windows of Sooyoung's hospital ward.

"I need you to do something for me"
"It's important"

"..."

"Can you please check the cameras located at the roads around the abandon car junkyard?"
"You do remember which one right?"
"After Sica unnie left, we went to listen to the conversation that Sooyoung unnie had earlier"

"..."

"And also, please check on the whereabouts of this carplate number JH3894"

"..."

"Don't worry, Sooyoung unnie's condition is stabilized now"
"As long as she has sufficient rest, the doctor says she should be fine"
"But Sica unnie's safety is still unknown now, Nicole"
"You have to act fast"

"..."

"But do not"
"I repeat, and emphasizing on this very strongly"
"Do not act on impulse and pull into action which might put everyone's life in danger, Nicole"
"I trust you to think and act calmly, but not on impulse"
"Is that clear?"

"..."

"Good"
"Also, do inform the forensic team about Sica unnie's situation and have them assist you all if needed"
"The junkyard, get them to go there and try to get as many samples as possible in order to be able to lead them to Sica unnie's whereabouts"
"I'll join you all as soon as Sooyoung unnie has regain consciousness"

"..."

"That's it for now"
"I'll call you again"

Yoona then ended the call, let out a sigh as she walked over to Sooyoung's bedside and held onto Sooyoung's hands tightly,
holding it to her face.

"Unnie.."
"Do you know much i missed you?"
"How worried i am?"

Yoona whispered softly.

"Im so thankful that you're fine"
"At least, back to me in one piece.."
"But what about Sica unnie..?"
"We owe her so much, our lives.."
"Don't we..?"

"We do.."

Yoona was shocked at Sooyoung's voice, but nevertheless am glad that she woke up.

"Unnie?!"
"You're awake?"
"How are you feeling now?"

Yoona asked worriedly as she helped Sooyoung sit up, putting a pillow behind Sooyoung's back for support.
Sooyoung smiled and gave Yoona a small nod.

"I missed you too, Yoong"
"But its not the time to get lovey dovey here"

"I know, unnie"
"I've asked Nicole to get down to work"
"And try to locate Sica unnie"

Sooyoung nodded with a sad sigh.

"She.."
"Do you happen to know about her past?"

Yoona shook her head with a shrug.

"I wonder if Tiffany knows about it, Yoong"
"I think, this is about Sica and her past.."
"We should save her, but we shouldn't be probing into her past too much.."

"Maybe you should have a talk with Tiffany unnie?"
"So that it might at least, give you some leads to Sica unnie's whereabouts?"

"But it will definitely worry Tiffany, which Sica doesn't want it, Yoong"

Yoona nodded understandingly, but still insisted that Tiffany should be informed.

"Nevertheless, Tiffany and Sica unnie are lovers"
"Unnie, she should know"
"Imagine the fact, if im in danger and your friend decided to hide it from you"
"How would you feel?"
"Awful right?"

Sooyoung kept quiet.

"I rather Tiffany unnie to come back worrying for Sica unnie than her not knowing anything"
"And when she knows, she is going to flare up"
"Before we know it, their chance of getting back together happily would be gone unnie"
"Please, at least let her know"
"Then, it's her choice of wanting to come back for Sica unnie or not"
"That's the most we can do for them.."

"..."

"Unnie, you know, and could see how much they loved each other before they were separated"
"How Tiffany unnie, the person who were calm and gentle to be scolding you fiercely for Sica unnie after you landed a punch on Sica unnie's face"
"How worried Tiffany unnie was, for Sica unnie when she was hurt"
"How protective Tiffany unnie was for Sica unnie"
"You saw them with your own eyes, unnie"

"I know, Yoong.."
"But-"

"There's no buts unnie"
"The amount of love, care and concern Sica unnie has for Tiffany unnie is boundless too.."
"She cared for her silently, from a corner till they met"
"She changed for her, in hope of getting back together"
"They are not lacking in anything for their love, unnie!"
"Just tell Tiffany unnie, and talk to her about Sica unnie's past"
"The two of them had been together since young, she should know a lot of her past!"

Yoong is probably right..
I should at least, at least inform Tiffany about Sica.

Sica, stay strong.
Stay safe, we'll come and get you.

Don't, don't give yourself up to the dad he claimed to be but never once fulfil his role as one.

"Okay"
"Yoong, can you pass me the phone?"

Yoona let out a smile and nodded.

Tiffany unnie, i hope you're still believing in Sica unnie.
Believing in the fact that your love and hers still exist.

Only that fate is always this cruel to be twisting the two of your love around.
But if you two get past this, im sure you two will last forever.

Sica unnie, hwaiting!

"Fany"
"There's a call for you"

Tiffany's manager called out to Tiffany who was busy preparing at the backstage for her musical performance in an hours' time.
The hair stylist were fixing her hair, while the makeup artist were trying her best to make Tiffany look pretty and glamourous for the concert.

"But oppa, how could i answer the call now?"
"We're finishing the last touch up here before i get on the stage!"

Tiffany complained unwillingly with a sigh.

"But Fany, i think it's wise if you pick this call up now"
"It's a Korean number, and that it has been calling you for the past 10 minutes"
"I know you hate to pick up calls during and before your concert, but i think it might be an important call"

Letting out a defeated sigh, Tiffany brought the phone over and held it over her ears.

"Hello?"

"Tiffany?"
"It's me, Choi Sooyoung"

"Oh?"

"Do you have some time to spare?"

"Uh.."
"Give me a minute"

Tiffany replied as she got up from her seat, and walked to the a quiet corner of the room.

"Sure, you can talk now"
"What's wrong?"

"Tiffany, im so sorry to disrupt your life in LA"
"But i really need your help, and there's something i have to tell you"

"O..kay..?"

Tiffany's heartbeat was fastening, as the heart rate increased.
The whole day inside her, was this ominous feeling as if something bad was going to happen.

And now, this phone call.

"Sica.."
"She's captured"

There, the most feared word came out and a moment of silence filled the conversation before Sooyoung continued.

"Are you okay, Tiffany?"
"I know i had to tell you this but i need your help in searching and saving Sica back.."
"This case is about her past"
"Do you know anything about it?"

"Where are you now Sooyoung?"
"Im coming back to Korea now"
"I'll take the earliest flight and we can talk then"
"I don't want to talk to you like this, about Jessi over the phone"
"I'll come back"

Tiffany said, abruptly in tears.

"Just, please pray for Jessi"
"Help Jessi, Sooyoung"
"I can't lose Jessi.."

"I will, Tiffany"
"Only if you tell me about her past!"
"We're only left with limited clues to break this case and the guy who captured her seemed to have suffered from some mental problems"
"I don't want to be lying, but she's really at disadvantage"

"No, don't tell me all these Sooyoung"
"I don't want to hear it!"

Tiffany exclaimed over the phone in tears as she fell to the ground, in disbelief.
Throwing the phone away, Tiffany hugged her knees tightly as tears streamed down her face.

Tiffany's manager rushed over to her, noticed that something was terribly wrong.
He picked up the phone, but the call had ended.

"Fany?"
"Are you okay?"

Tiffany's manager hushed, giving her shoulders a warm encouraging rub.
Tiffany shook her head.

"Oppa.."
"Korea.."
"I need to go back.."
"Please.."

"Okay, oppa will settle the things here for you"
"Let oppa check the earliest flight they have for you okay?"

Tiffany nodded and buried her head in knees while Tiffany's manager walked off, 
talking on the phone and came back only 10 minutes later.

"Fany, i've talked to the airport personnel"
"Their earliest flight to Korea will be two hours after your concert"
"Why not you perform for you concert, and oppa will drive you straight to the airport?"
"Oppa will go and get your passport while you perform and then, you can head straight to the airport"
"Okay?"

Tiffany looked up to her manager with teary eyes, and the gratefulness in it made her manager let out a small chuckle.

"Aww.."
"Don't cry okay?"
"Go and have your last touch up on your make up"
"And have your last impromptu concert before you return to Korea"

Tiffany nodded as she wobbily got up and slowly walked back to the seat, and sat infront of the mirror while the hair stylist and make up artist started fussing over her appearance.

"Oppa!"

Tiffany called again.

"Please, tell the company i've to go"
"Even if it's telling them my grandparents or whoever had passed away"
"To get sympathy leave, just do it!"
"I need to get back to Korea!"

Tiffany's manager winked and showed her an 'okay' sign.

"Don't worry, i'll settle everything for you as always"

Jessi..
You wanted me to stay safe, what about you?

Why would i receive such a call?
How can you expect me to let you go if you don't take care of yourself?
You know how much i love you, but can't you love yourself too?

Why do you always have to put yourself in so much danger?
Have you ever thought about me?
Or that you've really given up on me?

Please, give me one more chance so that we can get back together.
Don't, just don't push me away.

This time, i promise to push my violin aside and be with you.
Forever and always.

As long as you stay safe and strong now till you're back in my arms.
I love you, Jessi.
