Yuri POV

*26th-of-September-2016*

Monday. *Sigh*. Again. Boring work-life again.

It's been almost a month since Jessica left for South Korea. And, I say, it has been very, very difficult for me on this so-called 'long distance' relationship with her. We only talk through messages, phone, and video calls. I've been trying my best to pretend I'm okay with it but, it is getting out of hand. I miss her so much, as in soooooooooo much.

Arrghhhh--- I hate this. I feel so lonely! Now, all I'm just left is boring work. Aiishh-- I hate this. I totally hate this!

 

I arrived at the floor where my office was situated. Yet, it was unusual this time that my staffs were so loud and noisy early in the morning.

"Whoa!"

"Wooohooo!"

"Nice shot!"

"Gosh. She's so awesome!"

"I think I'm having a girl-crush on her."

"Me? I'm already in love with her!"

"E-EHEM." I cleared my throat pretendedly. I successfully caught their attention. "What's going on here?" I asked.

One of them greeted me cheerfully, "Hey boss! Good morning!"

I went near them, "What are you all busy about?"

"Oh. It was just a viral video online, boss."

"About what?"

Another butted in, "It was a video of a beautiful woman getting all the available prizes from a shooting game in an amusement park. It got millions of views now and has been trending in social media all over the world!"

"Err-- okay? So, what's the big deal with that?"

"Well, she hit all the bull's eye of the target ranges so fast, so skillfully, and so awesomely!"

Then, two from them chatted. "I bet she's from China." one said.

The other one rolled her eyes, "Duh? She's from Korea! Didn't you hear the people around talking in Korean language?"

"Oh yeah? Then, how did you know they're talking in Korean?"

"Gosh. Are you dumb? We have a Korean boss right here! Boss does use his native language whenever he chats with Sir Taeyeon, with Ma'am Joohyun, with Madame Shin, and with Miss Jessica too!"

I butted, "Alright, alright. Enough of that."

"Boss, why don't you watch it?"

"No, no. I'm not interested."

"But, you might fall for her! She's so coooooooooooool! And pretty, and awesome. She has the curves too... y and beautiful and awesome! Perfect three combination!"

I looked at him in disbelief, "I have a fiancé. Have you forgotten that?"

"Err-- yeah, right..." he scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, boss."

"Anyway, enough of the chit-chat. Get back to work."

Another one stopped me from going, "Boss, just take a look. Please?"

"Please?!~" they all shouted.

"Why does it matter to all of you if I watch that video?"

"Well, we thought you might know her personally?" someone snapped.

"What? Why would I know her?! Do you think South Korea is that small enough that we all know each other?" I sighed loudly. "Just get back to work, everyone! Stop annoying me."

I started to head for my office. Yet, as I passed by on one of my staffs' desk, I noticed her still watching from her computer, totally in awe, the viral video they were talking about. I was about to call her attention when the otherwise happened. The video has caught my attention instead and, not to mention, had me completely shocked too.

The woman they were talking about...

The freaking hell...

How could...?

This is so... UNBELIEVABLE!

I went closer to the monitor. I think it was to the point that my face almost touched the screen. Well, I must make sure. I really must make sure I'm not mistaken.

"Err-- boss?" my staff asked.

"What?"

"Uhhmmm-- she's awesome, right?" she asked then chuckled.

I ignored her question and asked her instead, "Can you restart the video?"

"Err-- okay." she then complied and reset the video.

The amusement park was very, very familiar. And that target range... This is so... damn it... No, no... she might just be someone else.

The video zoomed to the woman who was about to shoot the target range. The video was showing her back and her hair at first, though. Then, one of the watchers there mentioned it was her seventh try already and they are all expecting for a bull's eye shot again. And yes, they were right. It was again a perfect attempt. The video zoomed towards the moving target range. For a seventh try, it was like it's only the first. There's only one hole in there. All the first six bullets happen to just hit the very same spot. Only experienced sharpshooters can do that, I say.

The audience clapped and cheered. Then, a male teenager beside her turned around. I cannot be mistaken, though. That teenage kid... it was my son, Sunkyu.

He shouted, "Is that all you got, people?! Let us hear you scream!"

"WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!"     "AWESOMMEEE!"      "DAMN YOU'RE HELLA GREAT!"

The woman looked at him and whispered something. Then, he just forcefully turned her around to make her face the audience. It was her. REALLY HER. I am not mistaken. Stephanie Miyoung Hwang. My ex-girlfriend.

She was shy at first, waving her hand and smiling awkwardly as the crowd cheered and called for her alias, 'Tiffany Lee'. Yet, Sunkyu happened to be so proud that he kept on shouting and bragging on people around that she's his mother. Stephanie looked embarrassed about it but it seemed that she's finally loving the attention the crowd was giving her.

It was then time for the eight attempt. One of the watchers asked for a simultaneous shot for eight and ninth. Stephanie hesitated of course but Sunkyu forced her to do it. The target range was this time replaced by a new one. I guess the amusement park personnel were already alarmed by the situation going on that they must make sure there's no trick or modus happening. But yes, of course, she hit the bull's eye again for these two simultaneous attempts.

They were right that she's been sweeping off the prizes one by one throughout the video. What is more, she shoots the target range in many different styles. Some were from shooting by holding the gun above her head, by holding it with one leg up, she even tried shooting it about-facing the range, and even when looking down and held the gun in between her legs. Oh, and, also, most particularly, the no-look…

"What? You want no-look?" Sunkyu asked the crowd and they reacted positively and cheered again for her.

She complained, "What? I can't do that!"

"But, umma, at least you gotta try!"

"Hey, this is really, really, really hard, okay."

"Oh, come on. It's easy."

"It's easy? Really, huh?"

"Well, you're just going to hold it like this without looking and bang!" he acted with his finger.

"Uhuh?" She held the gun up pointing to the target range while still looking at Sunkyu. "You mean like this?" she asked then suddenly fired the gun. It was still... damn it. A FREAKING BULL'S EYE!

My mouth literally fell open. She was damn too good. Even the audience and Sunkyu were too shocked by that attempt. It was like few seconds of silence and afterwards, thunderous claps and cheers have emerged from the video.

It wasn't the only one jaw-dropping attempt she did. There were lots of it. There was one where she lied on the floor. Another was when she shot around fifteen meters farther than the allowed distance. She wanted to go farther but the Amusement Park administration stopped her. There was also an attempt whereas she had a participant to stand on the distance between her and the target range. Oh, and not to mention, after the prizes booth ran out of grand prizes, she aimed for the prizes of consolations then. And you know what she did? She drew a flower through her shots on that moving target range!

The video was about to end to the part where the amusement park personnel went near her to stop her from winning the last prize available. Yet, she was still allowed, though, as the crowd complained and whined against the amusement park admin. Yet, again, perfect shots. Damn it.

"Thank you! Thank you!" She lastly uttered and bowed at them.

Sunkyu smiled proudly and held her hand up. "My mom, everyone!" he shouted and everyone cheered and clapped again.

I rubbed my eyes and even my whole face just to clear I wasn't dreaming. This couldn't be real!

"So, boss? Were you awed? She's awesome, isn't she?" my staff asked. I couldn't even get to answer my staff's question. I couldn't find any words to say to her.

I happened to just ignore my staffs' retorts and reactions on me and quickly headed for my office. I didn't start on my office work, though. Instead, I searched for all the videos, news, and many other things related to that viral video. My staffs were right. She really became a hit. She's even featured on many news programs and websites, even on all popular social medias too.

A few moments later, someone knocked. She decided to not wait for my answer, however, and just went inside. It was Seohyun.

"Hey, oppa. I have some documents for you to sign." she snapped.

"Yeah, yeah, just put them on the desk." I snapped yet, still focusing on the video I'm watching from my laptop.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Work."

"Really? I can see your laptop's screen from the window behind you. Are you watching , oppa?"

I looked at her in disbelief, "Why the hell would I watch ?!"

"Well, because your fiancé isn't around for almost a month already?"

"Yeah, right. But, we're having our private time virtually, anyway. There's no hell of a reason for me to watch that genre, Seohyun."

"Wow. And you're just bluntly admitting that to me? That cyber thing?"

I grinned at her, "Yes. It was cool and exciting. Though, actual is always better, of course. But, maybe, you should ask Taeyeon for it, you know. Just try it out."

"What?! Why on Earth would I do that with Tae-oppa?!"

"Why not? Aren't you two dating?"

"We're not dating, okay!" She then groaned and sat on the free chair in front of my desk.

"Seohyun, instead of acting like that, why don't you just tell him how you feel about him?"

"I don't feel any, okay. What Tae-oppa and I had was just a purely physical relationship."

"Really, huh?"

"Yes, really."

"Oh alright. If you say so..." I went back on focusing on my laptop.

"So, what are you watching?"

I sighed, "YouTube."

"Oh. Have you seen the latest viral video on that site?" She chuckled, "You're never gonna believe who was in it!"

"It's Stephanie. Yes, yes. I know."

"So, are you watching that one?"

"Nope."

Suddenly, she grabbed my laptop to make it face her. I tried to grab it away from but I was unsuccessful, though. "Whoa! So, you're really watching this one, huh?!"

"Yeah, right. Don't judge me, okay. I was just curious and until now, I still cannot believe it. So, I've been seeking some clues there whether it was only a CGI effect or not, or if it's just scam."

"Gosh. I know, right! I couldn't believe it at first either."

"Tell me, Seo, how on Earth Tiffany possesses that kind of skill? I mean, how could she be so great in shooting? How on Earth could she hide something incredible like that? She should have used that skill somewhere and enhanced it."

"What? So, you're expecting her to pursue a career in criminology, military or something?"

"Well, yeah?! But, what did she pursue instead? Interior designing? Really?" I sighed again. "What is more, she never told me that skill of hers. I totally remember her annoying me to win a Totoro doll for her on that very same shooting game, on that very same place too! I spent a long time to win her one and now, it turned out she could do it in a snap? Really? She made me look like an idiot in front of her."

"Uhuh. I understand what you're feeling right now, oppa. You know, I kind of realized something too. I could have died because of her, you know."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well, don't you remember I kidnapped her a long time ago? What if there was a chance for her to grab a gun during that time? She might have shot all our heads in a snap. I could have been killed!"

"What the f--! Are you nuts?! Seohyun, you kidnapped her! You freaking kidnapped her! How could you say such thing when you're the one who was threatening her life that time?!"

"Why not? I was deceived, oppa. I thought she was weak, okay. You can't stop me from feeling like this. It was like an 'almost dying moment' for me." She sighed loudly. "Gosh, good thing my subordinates tied her up so good. Else, it would have been a massacre."

I sighed in defeat, "You are really crazy."

"Oh, no. She's crazier."

I looked at her in disbelief, "What the hell?"

"Tiffany-unnie's a devil in disguise, oppa! She looks like an angel on the outside but too much life-threatening on the inside. She flashes her eye-smile on you, beaming it like rainbows. It turns out she can kill you in an instant. See? That's crazy. She's crazier than her father."

"The fu-- it was a crazy skill, yes, but how could she be crazy?!"

"You want an example, oppa? She befriended me during the kidnapping. I was her kidnapper, oppa. I was the mastermind! Then, what? She ended up still understanding my actions and even got closer to one of my kidnap helpers, Tao. See?"

"She just thinks weirdly most of the time but she isn't crazy."

"Well, she kicked out her own son a month ago."

"And she took him back. It's in the viral video, Seo."

"And that will not happen if Jessica didn't fly there."

"But, what if Hyoyeon was lying last time and it turned out, she didn't really kick out Sunkyu?"

"Why would Hyoyeon-unnie lie then?"

"I don't know. Maybe to lure Jessica there or something?"

"Oppa, why are you defending your ex so much? Don't tell me you're still in love with her until now, huh?"

"What? No. I'm with Jessica now. I am just defending her because she's my ex. If you say she's crazy, that makes me crazier because I fell for her! If that insult of yours went out to the public, it can definitely taint my reputation."

She suddenly laughed, "Gosh, oppa. You are really so funny. I thought you were really concerned about her. It turned out you only love yourself."

I sighed, "Just shut up, Seo. You can leave now."

"Oppa, I think you're a crazy girl magnet."

"What the heck are you talking about?"

"Well, Fany-unnie fell in love with you. She's crazy. I fell in love with you. I am totally crazy. And that crazy Jessica too. She's the craziest, most insane of all!"

"Wow. Until now, you're still grudging over her? She never even had a direct conflict with you."

"Yeah, right. But, it's all because of her, my life was ruined. It was all her fault. That's even without me knowing before."

I looked at her disbelievingly, "How on Earth---?"

"Enough, oppa!" she shouted angrily. "I don't want any more arguments! Goodbye!" She stomped her way out of my office.

*Sigh*. That woman's totally freaking crazy.

After work, I went back to my unit immediately. Well, I miss my fiancé so I am planning to start our video call as early as possible. Yet, as I opened the door, I noticed there were lots of rose petals all over the floor. There were even heart-shaped candles too.

"Surprise!" she uttered. I looked at her direction. It was my fiancé.

In a snap, I rushed towards her and hugged her tight. I showered her kisses all over her face. "I miss you so much!" I went down to her neck and kissed her all over too.

Jessica giggled, "Yah, Yuri-yah. Stop it."

"What? I miss you so much, okay." I lifted her up. She captured my lips and we made out again. And still, with our lips locked, I carried her towards the couch. I laid her down and I quickly positioned myself on top of her. "Why didn't you tell me you'll be back today?"
