Ice Princess' One-Shot Collection ღ
Playing Hard to Get
{ A ZiSica One-Shot }
Jessica opened the café door and walked towards the cashier to order an iced mocha.
"What kind of a person who'd drink an iced mocha at 2degrees Celsius?" A man asked her.
She quickly turned around to the man who was talking to her. She didn't expect that it'd be a handsome guy.
Her eyes widened but she kept it cool.
She turned around to the cashier and grabbed her iced mocha and turned around to him.
"Me." She said and walked towards an empty table.
She saw the guy smirking.
While she was drinking her iced mocha, she couldn't help but stare at him.
He was wearing a black hoodie with a pair of navy blue jeans and a pair of Adidas shoes.
I like his style.... She thought.
She decided to keep him out of her minds so she played games on her phone.
"Ugh, I at playing games." She said to herself.
She heard that someone was taking a seat in front of her.
It was him.
"You at playing games? I'll teach you" He smirked.
She raised her eyebrows. "Excuse me? What are you doing here?" She asked him.
"Finding someone to talk to" He smiled.
He has such an adorable smile.. She thought.
But being cool as she is, she just raised her eyebrow again.
"Sorry if you're finding a prey." She showed her palm to him.
He showed her a confused look. "Y-you think i'm those kind of guys? Who brings girls home at night?" He asked her.
"If not then, those kind of guys who cheat on their girlfriends?" She said.
"I'm neither." He admitted while raising his hands.
"No joke." She said.
"No joke." He smiled.
"Then why are you here?" She asked.
"I told you. Finding someone to talk to." He said.
"There're other people here. Why me?" She scoffed.
"Well, you seem interesting from our little conversation back there. Plus, you're pretty too. That's how it all started." He said.
Jessica couldn't help but blush lightly.
"Well, I like iced mochas." She said.
"At 2degrees too?" He chuckled.
"I shall call you 'Ice Princess' then." He said.
"What?! I'm not that cold!" She glared at him.
"Well look at you now" He chuckled.
"Ugh. Go, get away from my table or I'll call the police or the waiter." She said.
"Police or the waiter? Are you serious?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Watch me." She threatened.
She stood up and shouted at the waiter.
"Excuse me! A guy just appeared and sat on my table out of nowhere! Please ask him to leave!!"
The other customers were staring at her while Zico was just resting his head on the table, embarrassed.
The waiter walked towards her. "I don't seem that there's suppose to be a problem. I saw you both. You were talking and everything was just fine" He said.
Jessica was frustrated so she grabbed her ice mocha, got a chance to give Zico a deathly glare and left the café.
Zico followed her outside and it was snowing.
Before Jessica could take a sip from her iced mocha, Zico called her out.
"Hey Ice Princess! Don't drink it! It's snowing!" He warned her.
"What do you want?! Can you just screw yourself?! Mind your own business!!" Jessica suddenly bursted to tears.
She was the kind of a girl who cries when she's mad and that shocked Zico.
He walked towards Jessica who was crying and caressed her cheeks softly.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying?" He asked.
Jessica slapped his hand. "Don't touch me." She said.
"It's cold now, c'mon, let's go somewhere else warm. Where's your house?" He asked.
Jessica glared at him.
"Look, I'm really really sorry about just now" He apologized.
Jessica could read his eyes. It was full of concern, and worry.
She sighed and walked slowly with Zico.
Where are we going...? He asked himself.
Just then, they arrived at a mansion and Jessica opened the door.
He wasn't really surprised because he cane from a rich family too.
Zico looked at Jessica.
Phew, good thing that she's not crying anymore... He thought.
"S-soo... Do you forgive me?" He asked her nervously.
She looked at him and smiled. "I guess so..." She let out a small chuckle.
Zico's heart was beating out of control.
Why are her little a actions making my heart beat? He thought.
He rubbed at the back of his neck awkwardly.
Jessica giggled at his actions.
"What's wrong...? He asked her.
"I thought you weren't the awkward guy type?" She asked him.
"Well, I don't know about now...." He said nervously.
Jessica giggled again.
"Do you want something to eat? Or drink?" Jessica said while opening her fridge.
"Hm? Just drink I guess" He said.
Jessica had a hard time finding the bottle of juices because she couldn't remember where she put it.
This may be Soojung's work. UGHHH Jessica thought.
Zico noticed how she was acting and decided to take advantage of it.
He carefully and slowly grabbed Jessica's phone that was placed on the coffee table while Jessica was in the kitchen.
He unlocked it and saved his phone number in it.
He called his phone using Jessica's and whispered "YES!!" In victory.
He placed Jessica's phone on the coffee table right where it was before he took it.
Jessica grabbed two bottles of mango juice, walked out of the kitchen to the living room and gave one to Zico.
She sat down beside Zico and looked at him.
Why is my heart beating so fast... She thought.
"I don't think we've introduced ourselves properly yet. I'm Zico" He said while offering his hand.
"Zico? Come on, tell me your real name" She said.
"... Woo Jiho" He said.
"Jung Jessica." She shook his hand.
"Tell me your real name" He copied her words.
She raised her eyebrows. "That is my real name." She said.
They let go of their hands.
"Aren't you Korean?" He asked.
"Of course I am— oh, you think– oh no. I was born and breed in America. Jung Jessica's my real name but my hangul name? It's Sooyeon" She smiled.
"That's a pretty name" He said.
"Chincha? Hm.." She nodded her head.
"Can you go out with me?" Jiho asked.
Jessica's eyes widened by his sudden words. "Wh- are you kidding me?" She asked.
"Nope." He shook his head and smiled.
She raised her eyebrow. "I don't even know you. You might be an axe killer." She said while standing up, leading Zico to the front door.
"Oh well maybe I am." He winked playfully while walking backwards and Jessica in front of him.
"Go. Get out of my house before I—"
"Call the police? Call your neighbor?" He joked and they stopped walking.
Jessica wasn't pissed off anymore because her heart was beating out of control.
"Go." She said.
"But you haven't said yes." Zico pouted.
He's pouting right now oh my God..... She thought.
Why am I pouting? I've never did this kind of thing before what the hell.... He thought.
"Why should I say 'yes'? It's my choice!" She claimed.
Jessica opened the front door and Zico stepped out.
"Go out with me" He said while leaning close to Jessica's face.
He can feel his warm breath from his nose reaching to Jessica's lips.
Jessica blinked slowly as she felt it.
She shook her head as she closed the door slowly.
Zico chuckled as she closed the door.
"I won't give up on you Jessica Jung!!" He shouted from outside.
Jessica couldn't help but giggle.
Zico then chuckled too. "I won't Jessica." He said to himself then smiled.
It was another day for Jessica and she felt as if something was missing.
"Why do I feel so empty..." She laid on her bed and sighed.
She then unknowingly smiled upon remembering Zico's face.
"Ah.. Him. Wait– he's missing?! No freaking way." She denied.
She felt like something else was missing too.
She then heard somebody knocking her door.
"Come in!" She shouted.
The door creaked opened and she heard a familiar ringtone.
She remembered that she left her phone in the living room.
Krystal's head slowly popped up from the door and smiled while raising her hand with Jessica's phone.
"Somebody's calling you— you're "Sweet romantic handsome oppa"?" Krystal asked her.
She immediately stood up and ran towards Krystal who was sheepishly smiling at her.
"My what what what oppa???" She asked while grabbing her phone.
Krystal's left eyebrow raised in curiosity.
"Go!" Jessica shouted at her before answering the call.
Krystal giggled as she closed Jessica's bedroom door and went outside.
She answered the phone nervously.
"Wh-who are you???" She asked.
"Hm? Me? Your sweet, romantic, handsome oppa that's who it is" The guy on the other line answered.
Her eyes widened.
That voice seems familiar..... She thought.
"Who the hell are you?!" She asked.
"You want to know?" He asked.
Without answering, Jessica just nodded slowly.
"Zi to the I to the C and O. Z-ah-co" He rapped.
Her eyes widened even more. "HOW THE HELL DID YOUR NUMBER GET HERE?!" She shouted.
He heard him giggle. "No time for jokes" She said.
"I'll tell you how if you go out with me." He said.
Jessica's heart was beating out of control to his sudden words.
"Are you serious?" She asked.
"I'm dead serious." He replied.
Jessica gasped. "You bastard— yah!! Just tell me!!!!" She whined.
"Not until you go out with me" He said.
Till then, they continued with their endless argument.
Jessica was tired and wanted to end the call already.
" you, I'm hanging up." She said.
She ended the call and let out a deep sigh.
"This guy is really something..." She unknowingly giggled.
"So who was that guy?" Krystal suddenly barged in to Jessica's room which caused Jessica to jump and grab her pen and threw it on Krystal's head.
"Oowww" Krystal whined.
Jessica sighed. "Ugh, none of you business Soojung!!" She said while closing the door.
She laid down on her bed and for some unknown reason, Zico's image kept replaying on her mind.
"Aish.... You're starting to become a life ruiner Woo Jiho." She said to herself.
It was a peaceful Saturday where the birds chirped its way to the trees and the sun shone brightly.
Perfect day to work out. Jessica smiled.
Jessica wore her Juicy Couture training pink training suit, grabbed her iPhone and earphones and headed downstairs.
She wore her white Adidas running shoes and headed towards the park.
While she was walking, she plugged her earphones into her ear holes and started playing Duffy's Mercy.
"You got me begging you for mercy~" She sang as she jogged around the park.
"Why won't you believe m–"
She was disturbed by the message tone she heard from her phone that caused the song to pause for a while.
She paused the song and jogged slowly while looking at her messages.
She selected the message that she received without looking at the contact ID.
"Good Morning Princess =D" She read.
What the f- She stopped jogging slowly.
She looked at the contact ID and rolled her eyes while her heart was beating fast upon knowing who sent her the message.
"Good Morning and don't bother me anymore." She replied.
"Why? :(" He replied within a minute.
Is he obsessed or desperate or what my God.... She thought.
"Because you're creepy and you're crazy." She replied.
"Yeah, crazily attached to a beautiful princess :3" He replied.
With that, Jessica gasped silently and her heart is melting slowly.
She didn't know what to reply so she just acted cool and sticked to her 'Play-hard-to-get' image.
"Can you get away from me please?" She replied and started jogging slowly, unknowingly waiting for his answer.
It's been 2 minutes now and he haven't answered her message.
Mixed feelings were starting to creep her up.
Should I say something?
Is he upset?
Is he sad?
Holy I feel so bad right now
Where is he?
Oh my God, I think something's happening
Is he crying? Hell no.
Wait...... I seriously think that he's heartbroken right now.
Eottokhae?????
In 2 minutes, the message that she has been waiting for, appeared.
"I can't. Because I'm right behind you ;)" She read.
She quickly turned around and saw him smiling at her.
Unfortunately, she didn't realize that she was jogging and accidentally bumped on a tree and caused her to fall.
Zico gasped and helped her up.
"Oowwww" She whined in pain.
"Are you okay??" Zico asked her in the middle of his chuckles.
Jessica noticed that he was chuckling so she glared at him and hit his chest.
"Shut the up." She said.
She couldn't open her eyes properly but when she could, she realized that Zico was handsome than ever.
He was wearing a navy blue jogging pants and a dark blue hoodie over his black T-Shirt.
She slowly got up and looked at him another time.
"What the hell are you doing here? Are you stalking me?!" She asked.
Zico's eyes widened. "I would love to, but hell no I'm not!" He said.
She rolled her eyes. "Then?" She said.
Zico shrugged before he answered. "I was already here when I texted you and I found you here while I was replying to your last text. So I was checking you out the whole time, wether it was the beautiful princess that I met a few days back" He smiled sheepishly.
Jessica blinked. "O-oh." She answered plainly.
"So are you alright? Are you hurt..?" He asked.
Jessica could sense that there he was concerned from the looks of his face.
She shook her head. "No no i'm fine." She said.
Jessica started walking and so did Zico.
She tangled her earphones onto her phone and walking straight.
"So do you go here often?" She asked him.
"Hm? Nope. I just moved in to this town." He said.
"Really? Wow... How long have you been here?" She asked.
"I'd say about... 6 days?" He chuckled.
"Glad the first person I met here was you" He said.
Jessica rolled her eyes.
Here we go again.... She said to herself.
They stopped by to a small café nearby, ordered hot chocolates and sat down.
"So... Jessica Jung Sooyeon..." He said awkwardly.
Jessica couldn't help but laugh at his remarks.
"What? I was just trying to start the conversation.." He said.
"Hm.." She answered.
They started talking slowly but then suddenly 2 unwanted people walked towards them, or at least, Zico.
"Hey Zico!" The girls greeted him.
Zico turned around after taking a sip of hot chocolate and raised his eyebrow.
"Uh hey guys" He said.
A girl with a light dyed orange hair started rubbing his back with her hand.
"Uh..... Hey... Hyuna.." He said.
She gave him a wide smile and took a glance at Jessica.
As cool as she was, she just raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes.
"So do you wanna hang out with us? With me and Gayoon?" She asked him.
Suddenly, Jessica felt like her blood was impatiently waiting to come out of her body and explode.
She then unknowingly mentally killed them in her head.
"Um... Hello... I'm with someone right now... ?" Zico replied.
In your ing faces...... Jessica smirked.
Hyuna and Gayoon looked at her and shot her a glare.
Jessica shot them back with a death glare.
"Well that's her? I think I'll call her 'Miracle' cos that's what she's trying to do" Hyuna smirked and walked away.
"God dammit.." She said to herself.
"Jessica? Are you okay?" Zico asked her.
She shook her head. "I'm fine." She took a sip of hot chocolate and immediately gulped it and that caused her to cough.
"Oh my God. Jessica?! Are you okay?!" Zico asked while standing up.
"You asked me that 4 times today." Jessica said in between her coughs.
"You're still coughing. Jessica, please–" He paused because Jessica was slowly starting to stop.
"Oh good." He said.
They stood up and grabbed their cups.
They strolled around the park as the breeze flew threw Jessica's long bangs that was placed on the right side of her face and that caused Zico to stare at her.
"Ah, I remember now. What about our date?" Zico smiled widely.
Jessica looked at him. "Ah that? Not a chance" She showed her 'victory' smile to Zico.
"Oh yeah? We're on one right now" He smirked.
Jessica froze immediately and Zico stopped walking.
Jessica couldn't move.
Damn why didn't I think of that?! She thought.
"Y-yeah... B-but..." She couldn't find any more words to say so she just kept shut.
Zico couldn't help but chuckle at her cuteness.
"Let's send you back home" He smiled.
Okay, that was just too good to be true.
Oh wait that was too good.
He sent me home without even saying anything. Like, "Let's go on a date" or something.
Kinda missed that sentence. Even though it's been only like 45 minutes.
Should I consider that as a date?
Was that even a date?
I know I've seen some in movies when the guy tells their friends excitedly about what happened with their crushes and tell them that "We went on a date!"
I'm honestly confused.
I guess...... I could consider that as a date but what I know is that.... Dates were suppose to be formal or something.
Are dates like when a girl and a guy are together.. Alone?
Should I ask him?
But... Aish, I can't...
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She answered it without looking at the caller ID because she was too busy thinking about Zico.
"Yobuseyo?" She asked with her small voice.
"Sica!" The guy on the other line cheered.
Jessica froze in place because she had recognized the voice.
"I miss you~" Zico teased.
"Ugh." Jessica said.
"Sica" He said.
Jessica's heart was beating out of control because he called her by her nickname.
"Y-yeah..?" She asked.
"Go out with me please~" he whined.
"We already went out just now right? Hahahhh~~" She teased.
A couple of days passed and Zico's never-ending question kept coming up over and over again.
"Oh my God. Like I said 2 days ago. We already were on a date!...... Like you said!" She told him.
"I know but this... I want to make this date special. That was just the beginning. To get to know you. But this.... Please.... I'll make it right." He said whole-heartedly.
Jessica could've sworn that her heart skilled a beat.
She was wondering about where more to find a man like Zico.
There was a moment of silence before Zico spoke up with his 'aegyo'.
"Sica~~~ palli~~ answer me~~~" He whined like a 4-year-old.
Jessica's eyes widened and bursted out laughing.
"Yah, you know what? I was going to say 'yes' until your 'aegyo' voice came out." Jessica said.
"Huh?! You were going to say 'yes'?!?! YEAHHH!!!!" He shouted.
"I was going to." She warned.
She heard a loud gasp through the phone.
"Please!" Zico begged.
Jessica giggled and smiled. "Arasso." She said.
"YESSS!!!!" He shouted in victory and hanged up.
Jessica was surprised but just shrugged it off.
"Wait, I forgot to ask her when to pick her up DAMN!!" He cursed whike grabbing his phone.
He waited for her to answer her phone and she did.
"S-sica.... What time can I pick you up.....?" He asked awkwardly.
Jessica chuckled. "I thought you were never gonna ask" She said.
"8pm?" She smiled and asked.
"Sure!" He said and hanged up the phone.
