FIFTH.

Do we still stand a chance?

Jessica's POV

"Why are you here again?"
"This time with your luggage here?"


Why is she here again?
I thought i've sent her home.

I heard a cough and sneeze.
Did she catch a cold already?
I thought she said the vaccines worked well?

"Im asking you a question Tiff"

"Can you spare me small space for now?"
"I'll call my manager later when the time is later"
"He'll get me a place to stay"


I frowned as i put my hands over her forehead.
Letting out a sigh, i pulled her up and dragged her luggage behind me.

"Follow me"

Entering the laboratory, I pulled the luggage to a room right at the back of the laboratory - 'Head Of Forensic'.

"Come in"

I called for Tiff to come in,
with one of my free hand switching on the lights while my legs were holding onto the door for Tiff.
Gosh, why did my leg grow so short?!

"Wow"

"Get some rest here"


I told her, trying to be as cold as possible.

"Im perfectly fine Jessi!"
"I just need a place to rest my !"


Fine?
Explain the coughs and sniffs, Tiff.

"Here"
"Take this"


I tossed a box of Kleenex tissues to Tiff from my table.

"Rest on the bed"
"I'll be back later"


She needed rest.
Immediate rest.
I know, my overprotectiveness had started again.
After a hiatus of two years, it came back.

"Jessi~"

She was whining.
I had no choice bu to ignore her and walk out.

I walked around the pantry of the laboratory trying to get hold of some cold medicines.
Guess, luck isn't with me.
There wasn't any.

My team were took weak that they finished all the cold medicines?
Gonna stock them up soon after all the cases have ended,
i'll stock everything up.

Which i doubt it will be soon.
Sighing to myself a little, i turned back to the room with a thermometer in my hand.
As soon as i enter the room, I saw Tiff holding onto my calender.

Did she find out about my markings?
Did she understand what have i been marking on my calender?

"Tiff"

She was shocked, immediately dropping the calender,
followed by a coughing fit.

"Im so sorry Jessi!"
"I didn't mean to intrude into your privacy!"
"Im sorry!"


I let out a sigh and pulled her over to the bed,
making her sit down beside me.

"Open"

"Huh?"


"Your mouth Tiff"
"You're warm"
"I need to take your temperature"

"Im fine, Jessi~"
"Really~"


She was whining again.
But a little difference this time round, a pair of cute puppy eyes.

"Open"

This time my voice was cold and stern.
I had left no room for negotiation.
I wanted to know her temperature so that i can take care of her better.

She sighed and obeyed my instructions by opening .
I then gently put the thermometer into .
A minute later, the thermometer beeped and i swiftly took it out from .

It was a whooping 39degrees.
As long as a fever hits 38.5degrees or more,
It is considered a high fever.
And 39degrees?

"How?"
"Im good right?"
"The vaccines really worked Jessi"


Instead, I couldn't help but rolled my eyes at her.

"Get on the bed now"
"39degrees"
"You call it fine?"

"How can it be?"
"I've never gotten sick before!"
"The doctor said the vaccines will last for at least 5 years!"


She was literally complaining.
Think she had grown accustomed to the life without doctors.
Without medicines or any special care needed to her body.
5 years, sometimes vaccines do varies with different body.
Of course, 5 years is just a rough guide.

Some might even last for a year only.
Or some would last for more than 5 years or even 8 years.

Letting out a sigh,

"Im going out now"
"When im back, don't let me catch you out of the bed"


I warned her with my infamous icy glare.
I knew she had always hated it.
But that's the only thing she is afraid of when it comes to me.

I had no choice, have i?
I wanted her to rest.

I went out of the room and went towards the washroom,
getting a bowl of water with a piece of clean cloth in my hands.

Why Tiff?
Why can't you just take care of yourself?
We're no longer together.
I can't be taking care of you like this forever.

What if Yuri barges in with jealousy and hit me hard?
I don't want to spoil your newly found happiness.

Entering the room with the items in my hands,
i settled down beside Tiff and twisted the cloth.

"I don't have any cold medicines with me here now"
"You'll rest here first"
"If your fever doesn't go down by noon"
"I'll bring you to the doctors"


I watched as her expression changed.
I knew she hated doctors.
That explains why she hated being sick so much.

"It will go down Jessi!"
"I don't want to visit the doc-"


She tried to assure me but instead,
I just left the cold cloth on her forehead which made her shiver a little.

"Doctor"

Tiff then completed her sentence with a smile.

"I will be outside working"
"You take a rest and call me if you need something"


I shook my head slightly and covered Tiff with the blanket and my coat that I was wearing earlier.
Before I left the room, i took a last look at Tiff before closing the door behind me.
I was worried.

Leaving her alone in the room to rest,
i got back to my work, deciphering all the evidences.
Or probably just a few since the evidences weren't found in the first crime scene.
But nevertheless, i had to get everything done up.

While i was focusing with the my job,
the laboratory door clicked open and there,
one whole bunch of people with the same tired expression entering it.

"How was it?"

"Unnie, we've gathered quite a few evidences"
"I mean, the killer did a pretty clean job"
"But-"

"But like you said"
"No matter how clean a killer is"
"He/she will always leave a trace of evidence"

"Can you stop snatching my lines?"


Hara grumbled with her hands chucked to her sides.

"What?"
"Im just speaking things that came into my mind"

"Then this shows that you don't think before you talk"

"Hey!"

"Stop it"


They were young, right.
But their volume has been increasing.
I don't Tiff to be interrupted by them.

"Can you please lower your volume"
"I've someone inside my office resting"
"So i don't want you all to be disturbing her rest"
"Do you understand me?"


The two maknaes nodded with a guilty expression.
While the rest of the team chuckled and moved to their respective work positions.

"Go and start deciphering all the different evidences and see if you could make up any assumptions for the whole case"

"But there's still the pathologist's report not up yet"

"How could we?"

"Use your brain Hara!"
"I wonder how did you even get in here!"


Hara innocently move her index finger to me.

"Sorry unnie"

Seohyun apologised with an awkward expression.
I threw her a weak smile.

"It's fine"
"I think Hara has her own forte here"
"Stop quarrelling alright?"
"Go and work"
"Get the stuff done as soon as possible"

"Yes mam!" 


The two maknaes are really adorably cute.
I can't help saying that they are cute.
They are always bickering over such small tiny trivial things.

I doubt it will be surprising if the two ended up together.
After a few hours of evidences deciphering, my phone rang.

"Yoboseyo"

"Sica-ah"

"What's up?"


I tried to sound cool while my hands were busy with the tools.

"Ceiling's up"

Alright, i failed at sounding cool.
I heard Sooyoung's chuckle.

"Alright, fine"
"What's the problem now?"


"The pathologist just sent me the first report of the deceased's body"
"Do you wanna come over and take a look?"


That's fast.
I must say, pathologist had an efficient working speed.

"Fast"

"Of course"
"In here, we need to hire people like you"
"Fast and efficient"

"Yeah right"

"So are you coming over or not?"

"I am alright?!"
"Stop rushing"
"I'll get everything here wrapped up first"

"Okay fine"

"I'll see you in 15 minutes time"


I then hung up the call and started packing everything up.
Well, for my job, it is almost done.
Now all i have to do is to piece everything up from the other evidences and rule out the impossiblities after everyone is done.

I should go and take a look at Tiff.
Hope she is feeling better.
I really hate to see her feeling sick.

I walked to the room, gently turning the door knob open.

"Im fine Yuri"
"Really"


"..."
"..."

"You don't have to worry"
"Just tell Taeyeon that i can't be there later in the afternoon for her violin lesson"
"If you could just help me teach her, i'll be real grateful to you"

"..."
"..."

"Nono"
"Yul, you don't have to come-"

"..."

"Yoboseyo?"
"Yul?"


I sighed.
Afterall, someone is there to look after Tiff.
Should I or not to show her so much concern?
What if she mistaken my concern for my love?
It is true anyway.
I love her.
Explains my concern.
Isn't it?

"Tiff?"

Tiff immediately turned around and smiled.
Sitting up, the wet cloth dropped onto her lap.

"Ops"

Tiff giggled cutely as she picked up the cloth and brought it up.

"It's not my fault"
"Really"


I smiled as i closed the door behind me.
Sitting down on the bed, I picked up the thermometer and switched it on.

"Open"

Tiff pouted and did as i told her to.
The thermometer beeped a minute later.
Looking at the reading, i frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"Tiff, i'll come back and bring you to the doctor later"
"Give me at most 30 minutes"
"I've to go for a meeting"

"I don't want the doctor"


Tiff was pouting, yet again.

"You have to"
"Rest first" 


I pushed Tiff gently back onto the bed and twisted the cloth again before putting it over her forehead.

"No getting up"
"I'll be back"

"Can't you just be here and nurse me back to health?"

"Im not a doctor"

"But you are to me"

"Stop joking around, Tiff"
"Lay back and rest"
"I'll be back"


Shaking my head slightly at the childish yet dorky Tiff,
i smiled.

I saw Hara and Seohyun's flustered look as i opened the door from the room.
I bet they were eavesdropping outside.

"So, tell me what have you two maknaes heard?"

I wasn't really particular about them eavesdropping.
Just wanted to tease them and watch their hilarious flustered expression.

"We.. er.."
"We weren't listening"

"YAH!"
"What weren't listening?!"
"We heard nothing unnie!"


This time, it was Seohyun.
She tried covering their lies.
But of course, it failed.

"It's kinda rude to eavesdrop, maknaes"
"And it's even ruder to lie" 


I whispered into their ear, with a chuckle.

"Unnie.."
"We're-"

"Forget it"
"It doesn't really matter"
"Help me take care of that young lady inside"
"She meant a lot to me"

"A lot?"


I nodded but put my finger over my lips.

"No one should know"
"Even her"

"Why unnie?"

"It's for me to know, you to find out"
"My dear maknaes, i've to go and meet Sooyoung now"
"See you later"
"Get the stuff on my table and you all can knock off already"
"Of course, not forgetting all your reports"
"Tell it to the team"


Seohyun and Hara nodded with happiness in their eyes as soon as they hear the two magic words - 'knock off'.
Okay, i guess they were tired too.
A night without sleep just because of the sick murderer.

Entering Sooyoung's office, i saw Sooyoung and Yoona with their eyes widened,
fixed onto the brown filed with a two huge word stamped over the cover - 'PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL'.

"Hey"
"What are you two reading?"
"Is it that interesting?"


I sat down on the chair infront of Sooyoung's table.

"Sica unnie.."

"You have to look at this!"


Sooyoung exclaimed as she put the file on my table.

"What?"

I rolled my eyes as i picked up the file.
There was a few pictures, as usual.
But out of the pictures, one of them caught my attention.


I really love the way Korea's police force solve their cases.
It is always so efficient and spot on.
I mean, you Koreans are awesomely cool in solving the cases.

I bet the prosecutors, forensic scientists and pathologists there has an IQ of over 200?
Well, im just kidding.
This is the first round of game i've set for you people.
If you can break this case, which will soon be cases and capture me.

I'll really believe in your skills and ability.
For now, we'll see.

A challenge set for the Korea's police force.
Choi Sooyoung, head prosecutor.
We'll start with you first, shall we?
And next will be your best partner Im Yoona?


"What..?"
"Who on Earth is this sick?"


Yoona shrugged.

"He's challenging the defence force, unnie"
"We have to get him quick before more sick cases come in"


I nodded with a frown.
Sooyoung's head suddenly shot up with a stern look.

"Yoona, you're fired"

"WHAT?!"
"Why are you firing me?!"
"I did nothing wrong!"


Yoona protested with a pout.

"You can't fire me like this!"

"You're fired"
"Pack your things and leave within an hour"


I understand why Sooyoung is doing this.
I really do.
She was worried for Yoona's safety.
I know Sooyoung doesn't want her best partner to be risking her life for this case.

In any case, the both,
im sure they knew it in the start that once they are into this job,
safety was never a concern anymore.

"NO!"
"I won't!"
"I know why you're firing me!" 


Yoona exclaimed angrily with her arms crossed.
She sat down back onto her seat with an upset expressioon.

"Im going to sit here and not move a single inch"
"Try moving me you CHOI SOOYOUNG!"


I let out a chuckle, mentally i mean.
How could i let out a chuckle at times like this.

"Hey Soo"
"Don't worry"
"I know you're worried for Yoona's safety"
"But look, she's as healthy and strong as an ox"
"Im sure she will be able to defend herself"
"And now, you two are staying together"
"You will be able to keep a look out for her, isn't so?"


I tried to persuade Sooyoung to not kick Yoona away just like that.
Yoona had been with Sooyoung for quite sometime already.
How could Yoona leave just because it is dangerous for her?

That was then Sooyoung broke in tears.
Buried her face in her hands.

"I don't.. want.."
"I don't want anyone.. to die because of.. this.."
"It's a job.. not everyone wants.."
"Yoona still has.. her family.."
"I don't.. so it's fine if.. im dead.."
"Yoona.. is not.." 


Sooyoung was crying.
My dearest shikshin Choi is crying for the ever first time.

"She is still.. so young.."
"Her bright.. future.."

"Hey"
"Soo, you're not alone"
"You have us"
"We don't want you to be dead too"
"Neither does Yoona"


Yoona walked over to us with teary eyes as she put her arms over Sooyoung who was crouching over,
crying bitterly.

"Your future is as bright too Soo"
"Don't, don't judge yourself"

"Sooyoung unnie"
"Don't cry"
"Im here, i will be here forever with you"
"My family can't be bothered with me when i've decided with this path"
"Plus, this is just a threat"
"It might not really happen if we are careful enough"
"We might be able to capture him before anything goes wrong"


Sooyoung turned her head towards Yoona.
Yoona's hands immediately went over and wiped her tears away,
flashing Sooyoung a smile.

"It is just a threat..?"
"Yoona, have you seen what kind of threat is this..?"
"He, this sick murderer stuff this piece of threat"
"Into a body of an innocent victim!"
"How serious can this threat be?!"

"I know, unnie"
"I know"
"Im willing to take the risks with you"
"Im willing to take my chances"
"I believe that you won't let me die that easily, unnie"
"I believe and trust you to take care of me"


I smiled.

"See?"
"How trustworthy are you now Sooyoung?"
"Your best partner trusted you so much"
"Is it your turn to trust yourself now?"
"Trust that you can protect her, and watch out for her?"


Sooyoung pondered for a few seconds before nodding her head.

"I guess so"

"Good"
"Then shall we start discussing about the report?"


Yoona and Sooyoung nodded as they each got themselve a chair and sat around me.

"Look"
"The pathologist said this yesterday night right?"
"The victim was being cut open without any anaesthetic given which explains the muscles contraction"
"At the same time, from it seems like he had extracted a piece of woolen material"
"I think it is at my laboratory"
"I'll get it go for some tests later"

"Okay"
"Does it mean that he had stuff something into to muffle her screaming?"

"Isn't it obvious?"


I let out a chuckle.

"Or it can be that he was trying to force something into or something"
"Since he killed her underground, the screaming couldn't have be transmitted out of it"
"It is nearly impossible given that the vehicles over them are moving around with their loud engines"
"It can't be"

"And, the pathologist seemed to have found a strand of hair"
"In the hand of the deceased victim"
"But that hair doesn't belong to her from our tests reports Soo"
"So there might be a possibility that it is from the killer or not"


"It must be from the killer, isn't it?"
"Why is there a possibility of it not from the killer unnie?"

"Yoona, the killer is smart"
"He could be trying to mislead us"
"You see, if he is smart, why would he even leave that strand of hair in the victim's hands?"
"There is a reason behind it"
"Im sure"


This is the first time, to be honest,
a case gotten this tricky and tough.
Okay, probably because my brain ain't used to these tough cases.

It used to solve all these tough cases.
But Korea has since became a peaceful country,
my brain seemed to have died down.

I closed the file and put it onto Sooyoung's table.

"We have to wait for the final report of the pathologist to see if there is any bruising etc showing up in the victim's body"
"As well as the report from my team before starting the investigation Soo"

"Oh, okay"
"Please try to get it done quickly Sica"
"I know it's hard on you"


I know she is feeling sorry for me.
For making me work so hard.
I know, but it is fine with me.

"Soo, can you do me a favour?"
"I'll get the reports on your table by next morning if you do me this favour"

"What favour?"
"Can you drive me to a nearby clinic or hospital?"


"WAE?!"
"Are you sick?!"
"Why are you still at work?!"


I chuckled a little.

"Im not Soo"
"It's Tiff"
"She's in my office resting"
"Can you drive me there?"

"Why don't you drive, unnie?"
"I've seen your driving license before"

"I don't drive for a reason Yoona"


I said, trying to force a smile for her.
Yoona didn't know why i don't drive.
Only Sooyoung knew.

"Yup, she doesn't drive for a stupid reason"

Sooyoung was trying to help me to get out of Yoona's question.

"She's afraid of driving into the drain"
"She failed at her car parking too"
"So trust me, if she drives, you'll need more insurance than others while riding her car"


I rolled my eyes at Sooyoung with my fist raised a little.
How could she criticise my driving skills like this?
I wasn't the one who didn't know how to park my car.
It was Hara for goodness sake.

Im just having a phobia of driving alright?

Yoona giggled.

"I'll drive you"
"Now?"


Sooyoung stood up, grabbing onto her car keys.

"Yoona, coming?"

"Right away!"

"I'll meet you two at the carpark"
"Give me 15 minutes"


"Sure"

Walking back to my laboratory quickly, 
i let my stuff down and removed the lab coat on me before entering the room.
I saw Tiff shivering a little under the blanket and coat.

This is not good.

"Tiff?"

I shook her a little.

"Tiff?"
"Wake up"
"We're going to the doctor"


I shook her a little harder.
Tiff started stirring drowsily from her sleep.

"Are you okay Tiff?"
"We're going to the doctor now"

"Hmm.."
"Im fine Jessi"
"Im just tired"


I placed my hand over her forehead, neck and cheeks.

"You're not Tiff"
"Come on, let's go"


I put Tiff's hands over my neck, with my hand supporting her waist.
Tiff was boiling but yet she pretended as if she is fine.
Slowly supporting her out of the laboratory, down the carpark,
Sooyoung immediately came over and helped me while Yoona drove the car over.

"What happened to her?"
"Why is she so warm?"

"The consequences of being a fool"


"Think get her to the nearest hospital Yoona"

"Alright unnie"

"On my way!"

Yoona drove for 15 minutes before arriving at a mini hospital.
Sooyoung and I quickly got down and helped Tiff out of the car.
I was really worried for Tiff.

Tiff, can you feel better soon?
Recover quickly, i hate to see you in such a state.

Into the A&E, the doctor came out an hour later.

"How is she, doctor?"

The doctor smiled and assured me with a pat on my shoulder.

"Don't worry"
"It's the flu period"
"She must have gotten a cold from the weather"
"You can bring her home to rest after she finish her IV"


"Thanks a lot doctor"

"No problem"
"It is my job"
"But let her have plenty of rest during this few days"
"If not, her condition might worsen instead of recovering"

"I will doctor"
"Can i go in and see her now?"

"Oh sure"
"She is awake already"
"At the last bed from the left"


"Thanks"

"Don't worry Sica"
"She is fine"
"I'll wait for you with Yoona at the cafe opposite the hospital"


"Thanks Soo"

While Sooyoung exited the hospital, 
I walked to Tiffany's bed and sat down beside her.

Brushing her bangs away, i felt her forehead.

"Jessi?"

"Are you feeling better?"


Tiff nodded with a smile despite her pale lips.

"Go home after this okay?"
"I'll send you home"

"I've got no home"
"I've walked out on mine last night.."

"That was why you were outside my working place?"


Tiff nodded.

"I see.."

"Jessi.."
"Can i ask you a question?"
"Not related to two years ago"


Tiff let out a cough.

"Hmm?"

"Why do you have a bed in your office?"
"Im just curious"

"Because it's meant for people like you"
"Homeless people"


I was trying to make it sound like a joke.
Really.

"Oh.."
"So there were more than one people who slept on it other than me?"


Tiff looked rather sad.

"Hey it was meant to be a joke, Tiff"
"Of course there is more than one people who slept on it"


Im not a person?
My bed, i've never let anyone else to sleep on it except for myself.
And now, you.

"Oh.."

Just then, Tiff's phone rang.
I passed it to her after tapping on the answer key.

"Yoboseyo..?"

"..."
"..."

"Im at the hospital, Yul"

"..."
"..."

"Err.."


I brought the phone over from Tiff's hands.

"Yoboseyo"
"Jessica imnida"

"Which hospital is Tiff at now?"
"Im coming over now"

"Oh, she's at this 24 hour emergency unit at the hospital with a 15 minutes drive from there you are"

"Im coming over now"

"Okay"


I passed the phone back to Tiff.

"Yuri is coming over now"

Tiff seemed to be a little disappointed.
Nevertheless, she then made another call with her phone.

"Yoboseyo"

"..."
"..."

"Neh oppa"
"Can you find me a place to stay?"
"I've left my family's house"

"..."
"..."

"Jeju?"
"Okay then, it's fine"
"Enjoy yourself"


Tiff let out a soft sigh as she put her phone down.

"Who was it?"

"Manager"
"It's been a long time since he is back here"
"So he is having a holiday with his family"
"I guess i'll look for a place on my own"

"A place to live?"
"Why do you have to look?"
"You've me here Tiff!"


A voice interupted our conversation.
Turning behind, it was Yuri behind us.
Yuri..
I guess she drove a rocket here?

"Oh you're here"
"Tiff, i'll leave you with Yuri"
"See you tonight Yuri"


Yuri shot me dagger glares.

"You should have brought her in earlier Sica!"
"You knew she was sick, don't you?!"
"If you couldn't take care of her, you could have called!"
"Look at her now, in the hospital!"

"Im sorry Yuri"
"My fault"


Gosh.
My heart is hurting so badly as i walked away from Tiff.
Why?
Can someone help me and give me a dose of painkiller?
I really need it so badly.

I got blamed.
Sadistic life i have here.

 


Tiffany's POV
 

"Im fine Yuri"
"Really"

"You sound bad Tiff"
"Have you been to the doctor?"
"Do you need me to bring you to one?"

"You don't have to worry"
"Just tell Taeyeon that i can't be there later in the afternoon for her violin lesson"
"If you could just help me teach her, i'll be real grateful to you"

"Okay i will"
"I'll come over as soon as i am done here"

"Nono"
"Yul, you don't have to come-"

"That's it"

"Yoboseyo?"
"Yul?"


I sighed, putting my phone away.

"Tiff?"

I sat up almost immediately, forgetting the wet cloth that was on my forehead.
It then fell onto my lap.

"Ops"

I giggled,picking up the cloth and brought it up.

"It's not my fault"
"Really"


It wasn't really my fault.
Jessi smiled as she closed the door behind her.
Sitting down on the bed, she picked up the thermometer and switched it on.

"Open"

I pouted a little.

The thermometer beeped a minute later.
Jessi frowned at the reading.

"What's wrong?"

"Tiff, i'll come back and bring you to the doctor later"
"Give me at most 30 minutes"
"I've to go for a meeting"

"I don't want the doctor"


I hate the doctors!

"You have to"
"Rest first" 


Jessi pushed me gently back onto the bed and twisted the cloth again before putting it over my forehead.

"No getting up"
"I'll be back"

"Can't you just be here and nurse me back to health?"

"Im not a doctor"

"But you are to me"

"Stop joking around, Tiff"
"Lay back and rest"
"I'll be back"

 
It's been around 20 minutes when i heard a little movement nearing the room.
I was shivering a little under the blanket and coat.
To be honest, i was really cold and my whole body was aching.
Not forgetting my cough, headache and runny nose.

"Tiff?"

"Tiff?"
"Wake up"
"We're going to the doctor"


"Are you okay Tiff?"
"We're going to the doctor now"

"Hmm.."
"Im fine Jessi"
"Im just tired"


She placed her hand over my forehead, neck and cheeks.

"You're not Tiff"
"Come on, let's go"


Jessi put my hands over her neck, with her hand supporting my waist.
Slowly supporting me out of the laboratory, down the carpark,
A tall lady immediately came over and helped us onto car.

"What happened to her?"
"Why is she so warm?"

"The consequences of being a fool"


A fool?
What are you talking about?!
Im not a fool Jessi!
I just got trolled by the weather in Korea or if no,
the vaccines!

"Think get her to the nearest hospital Yoona"

Why hospital?
Noooooo.

"Alright unnie"
"On my way!"

Lying on the bed, the doctor and nurses around me were making me dizzy.
Really.
Walking around with the devices and equipment, what do they want?

Oh no oh no!
NEEDLEEEEE.
I SEE NEEDLEEEEEEEE!
HELP MEEE SOMEONE HELP MEEEE!

"Tiffany-sshi"
"This will pinch a little"


I heard the nurse say.
PINCH A LITTLE?!
IT HURTS LIKE-

"Ahhh!"
"It hurts!"


I swear i heard the nurse let out a chuckle.
I know i look like a joke for being afraid of needles.
I can't help it right?
It's a childhood phobia till now!

A few minutes later, the doctor and nurses exited the room.
Next, Jessi entered the room.
Gosh, that worried look.
Made me so guilty now.

Brushing my bangs away, she felt for my forehead.

"Jessi?"

"Are you feeling better?"


I nodded with a smile.

"Go home after this okay?"
"I'll send you home"


Home?
HAHAHA.
I've none.

"I've got no home"
"I've walked out on mine last night.."

"That was why you were outside my working place?"


I gave her a small nod.

"I see.."

"Jessi.."
"Can i ask you a question?"
"Not related to two years ago"


This cough is seriously getting on my nerves.

"Hmm?"

"Why do you have a bed in your office?"
"Im just curious"

"Because it's meant for people like you"
"Homeless people"


So you hate homeless people like me?
Jessi, your words.
It did hurt.

"Oh.."
"So there were more than one people who slept on it other than me?"


"Hey it was meant to be a joke, Tiff"
"Of course there is more than one people who slept on it"


Joke..?
Wow.. 
Im amazed that you know how to joke now?

"Oh.."

Just then, my phone rang.
Jessi passed it to me after tapping on the answer key.

"Yoboseyo..?"

"Where are you now Tiff"
"Im outside Sica's laboratory"

"Im at the hospital, Yul"

"HOSPITAL?!"
"WHICH?! IM COMING OVER RIGHT NOW!"

"Err.."


Jessi took the phone over.

"Yoboseyo"
"Jessica imnida"

"..."
"..."

"Oh, she's at this 24 hour emergency unit at the hospital with a 15 minutes drive from there you are"


"..."
"..."

"Okay"

She then passed the phone back to me and told me,

"Yuri is coming over now"

I was a little disappointed.
Nevertheless, i remembered i had another call to make.

"Yoboseyo"

"Fany ah?"

"Neh oppa"
"Can you find me a place to stay?"
"I've left my family's house"

"But im at Jeju island with my family now"
"Is it urgent?"

"Jeju?"
"Okay then, it's fine"
"Enjoy yourself"


I let out a soft sigh as she put her phone down.
Oppa needs some family time too since he's been away for two years.

"Who was it?"

"Manager"
"It's been a long time since he is back here"
"So he is having a holiday with his family"
"I guess i'll look for a place on my own"


This familiar voice?

"A place to live?"
"Why do you have to look?"
"You've me here Tiff!"


A voice interupted our conversation.
Turning behind, it was Yuri behind us.
Did she fly or teleport here?

Our call was only 5 minutes ago!

"Oh you're here"
"Tiff, i'll leave you with Yuri"
"See you tonight Yuri"


Jessi's leaving?
NOOOOOOO.
JESSI NOOOOOO!

I noticed Yuri was shotting dagger glares at Jessi.
Who is she to do that?!
Im going to question her when im feeling better!

"You should have brought her in earlier Sica!"
"You knew she was sick, don't you?!"
"If you couldn't take care of her, you could have called!"
"Look at her now, in the hospital!"


You're scolding my Jessi?!
KWONYURI!
You're so getting it from me when Jessi leaves!

"Im sorry Yuri"
"My fault"


Jessi apologised.
The sadness and hurt in her eyes.
Im sorry Jessi, i really am.

Watching Jessi's dejected backview walking out of the hospital,
my heart was breaking.

"Why did you.. scold her?"

"Why can't i scold her?"
"She didn't take care of you!"

"She did"
"You shouldn't.. scold her Yul!"


I let out another coughing fit.

"I didn't.. say it infront.. of her because i figured.. out.."
"Figured out.. that you might not feel so.. embarrassed.."

"Im worried for you Tiff"
"I guess im sorry?"


"Promise me you won't do it again?"
 
"I'll try?"

"No dagger glares at Jessi too"

"I'll try my very best"

"No trying"
"You have to"

"Alright, i promise but on a condition"
"Three dinner dates"


Three dinner dates for a better treatment for Jessi from Yuri?
Reasonable enough.

"Deal!"

"You'll stay at my house now okay?"
"I'll nurse you back to your perfect health"

"Alright.."


I sighed with a frown.
I don't want anyone to take care of me when im sick except for Jessi.
WHY ARE YOU HERE KWON YUREEEEE?!
