TWENTY ONE - The Advice

 

[NORMAL P.O.V]

 

“Who is this girl, Jessie?!”

 

“Ti-Tiffany??? W-What are you doing here?!”

 

A surprised Jesse asked as he quickly withdrew himself from his younger sister. If eyes could kill, Krystal would be dead for sure about the way the K-Pop princess was glaring at her. Noticing his nervous tone, Tiffany frowned and crossed her arms, snapping:

“Well, I’m sorry because I was trying to reach your phone, but no answer. So, I decided to ask Sooyeon about you and make him a visit, yet look what I saw! MY boyfriend and a-a… So, what can you say in your defense???”

 

Tiffany was steaming in jealously while glaring at the pair before her eyes, yet Krystal was in shock and with widened eyes. Her favorite singer was in front of her, it was like a dream coming true. Meanwhile, Jesse waited her explosion, once she was done, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily while shaking his head amusedly. Tiffany was confused, but she kept her angry face. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and pulled her as he said:

 

“Come, I want to introduce you to someone.”

“What?! No! I – I am still angry with you!”

 

Just giggling at her reaction, Jesse placed Tiffany and Kyrstal face to face. The latter was with an awed expression and mouth hanged open while Tiffany remained confused and sulky. Once they were in silence, Jesse calmly, yet smiling spoke:

 

“Tiffany, this is my younger sister, Krystal. Krystal, she is Tiffany… my girlfriend.”

 

“WHAT?!”

 

The girls in shock yelled in unison and sputtered at the same time:

 

“She is your sister?!” “She is your girlfriend?!”

 

The blonde singer simply smiled in return as he nodded his head. Their reaction was a little bit different from each other. While Krystal was stunned about the fact of his older brother dating the most famous singer in South Korea, she was flailing happily inside her mind. Meanwhile, Tiffany’s eyes almost popped out of the sockets, her face was red in embarrassment. She almost yelled to her … sister-in-law? Regretful, the red haired singer burrows her face in her own hands and uttered dejectedly:

“Oh my God… I am so sorry, Jessie. I’m so sorry, Krystal-shi. I – I didn’t know… If I can do anything to repair this mistake, please tell me…”

 

“Oh… my… God… Oppa, y-you are dating Hwang Tiffany from TTS!? When were you planning to tell me?! Never mind! T-Tiffany-shi… I – I am your fan, I really, really love your songs and TTS is the best band in the whole world!”

 

The red haired girl couldn’t help to eye-smile and blush in return, feeling flattered. She waved her hand in dismiss and answered simply:

“I am flattered, Krystal. Fans like you make TTS happy. Thank you.”

 

“Ohhhh she thanked me… Am I dreaming???”

 

JeTi couldn’t help, but laugh at Krystal dreamily face. Not holding herself, the younger girl grabbed Tiffany’s both hands and asked with puppy dog expression:

“Tiffany-shi… c-can I call you… unnie?”

 

Feeling satisfied, Tiffany gave one of her best smiles and added honestly:

 

“I’ll be sad if you don’t.”

 

She even winked and Krystal could faint in every minute. The most popular singer winked at her and even let her call her… “unnie”. Oh, she must be dreaming. Meanwhile, Jesse couldn’t help but smile, he was really happy that his sister and girlfriend were getting along. Frankly, he was worried about this moment, he didn’t know if it was a good idea to introduce Tiffany to his family. Part of him wanted to do this since he loves her and he is serious about that. On another hand, he was scared since he had two lives and didn’t want to jeopardize his girlfriend’s career if any paparazzi get a picture of him like SooYeon. However, he snapped back to the reality when he saw two sulking girls glaring at him. He raised an eyebrow and asked carefully:

 

“What?”

 

“So, you didn’t speak with your family about me, huh?”

 

Tiffany narrowed her eyes dangerously and Jesse gulped nervously, that stare couldn’t mean a good thing. Trying to defend himself, he raised his hands and explained:

 

“B-But I was going to tell… it-it’s just that I didn’t want to bring you harm, plus, you know that paparizzis will follow you in anywhere, right?”

 

“Hmmph!” The red haired singer didn’t listen but it as she crossed her arms and turns away from him. Once she turned her attention to Krystal, she asked into a sad tone:

 

“Not even once?”

 

At first, Krystal nodded, but she couldn’t lie. So she had some confessions to make after seeing that her older brother could be with problems:

“Actually, my oppa was always like this, he is VERY reserved when it comes feelings… Yet, I realized that he was changing a few months ago. Sometimes, he would come back to our home with a stupid and cheesy smile in his face, oh it was that moment I saw a big hickey in his neck, so I presumed that oppa finally found someone. Aha!”

 

“Krystal!” A flushed Jesse yelled in embarrassment as his sister explained the story.

 

“Oh, that… hehehe…” “So it was you, huh? Hahaha” Krystal added cheekily with a teasing smirk. Tiffany felt embarrassed and flushed since it was her fault for making her territory in Jesse’s neck, not that she minds at all. Yet, she must be a polite girl for his family. So, Krystal rolled her eyes at the flushed couple and shrugs her shoulders:

 

“Tiffany unnie, I don’t speak this very often… I know that oppa can be colder than an iceberg, sleep like a log and be very stupid sometimes…”

 

“Krystal…” Jesse warned while gritting his teeth as his sister continues, but this time, with a sincere semblance:

 

“But this icehead is the only brother I have… And I care a lot about him… so, please take care of him and love him… Or else I won’t be so nice, understood?”

 

“Sure thing. I love my Jessie a lot; you have my word… dongsaeng-ah.”

 

Tiffany added with a bright eye-smile as she and Krystal shook their hands, both smiling. Jesse smiled warmly at sight and very relieved to be honest. After the scene, he held his girlfriend’s hand gently to get her attention and asked softly:

 

“Since we are all clear now… Fany, call you tell me what are you doing here?”

 

“Oh that, well, since I couldn’t reach your phone, I wanted to know if SooYeon heard about your whereabouts. Plus, it does have been awhile the last time I saw him, so I decided to pay a visit… By the way, where is he? Is he all right?”

 

The red haired girl stretched her neck to look around and frowned when she didn’t see her friend. However, Krystal frowned in confusion and spoke:

 

“Sooyeon? But he is right—hmph!” Hurriedly, Jesse covered his sister’s mouth with his hand, avoiding a chaos.  It was when he explained while smiling nervously:

 

“He-He is sick! He got a flu and it’s resting at his home, that’s why we are here, just to make sure haha… er…”

 

At first, Tiffany raised an eyebrow, unsure of his explanation, but she couldn’t help to feel worried about SooYeon, he is her friend after all and she missed him. Afterwards, she sighed and nodded her head, speaking into a not so lively tone:

“Okay, I guess I will have to see him another time. Could you tell him that I wish him to get better? I miss my friend.”

 

Jesse felt his heart warm at that time; it seems that Tiffany also likes his other persona. This reminds him, when he will tell her the truth. So, Krystal removed his hand from and eyed her brother in suspicion, but after she saw his begging eyes, she sighed:

“Don’t worry, unnie… We will tell him… right, oppa?”

 

“Yes, yes, of course. Now, what are we going to now, ladies?”

 

The blonde quickly changed the subject as he turned his attention to the girls. Nonetheless, Krystal suddenly smiled and he didn’t like that smirk at all… it means only one thing… trouble. Before he could stop her, his dongsaeng started into a ‘sweet tone’:

 

“Unnie, if you don’t have plans for this night, would you like to go to our home?”

 

“Krystal, I don’t think she can, she is very busy and her schedule is really tight. Plus, I don’t want to bother her---“

 

“I would love to!” Tiffany quickly replied with her signature eye-smile, letting Jesse mouth-open. Meanwhile, Krystal laughed and held her unnie’s hands happily, speaking into an exciting tone:

 

“It will be great! You can see our house and know our mom.”

 

While his sister and girlfriend were talking on nonstop like best friends, this could be a problem. What if someone follows them? This can bring a negative publicity for both sides. That’s why he decided to intervene:

“Hmm girls, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Krystal, we don’t want to bother Fany, right?”

 

“But, oppa…” Krystal pouted like a kid and frowned.

 

“Jessie, of course you guys aren’t bothering me and I would love to see your house, and your family too… Unless… you don’t want me there…”

 

It might look silliness, but Tiffany felt hurt with Jesse’s actions, it was like he was… embarrassed of her? Like if he didn’t want to bring her to his family, but she thought that they were doing just fine, what happened? Unconsciously, she felt tearing up and looked away to hide it. Meanwhile, Jesse was feeling awful, he didn’t want to hurt his beloved. Krystal glared at him for hurting her, yet he looked at her pleading, silently asking a private moment with his girlfriend. His sister got the clue and spoke out loud:

 

“I will wait on outside…”

 

After she was outside the shop, Jesse looked back to a sad Tiffany and mentally kicked himself for being a completely idiot. His sister was right; he can be a stupid sometimes. Breathing heavily, he grabbed her hands, raised her chin delicately with his finger to take a good look in her face. His heart clenched at the sight; he could see all the sorrow there. He gently thumbed her hands and started gently:

“Honey… isn’t that I don’t want you there… Honestly, I wanted to introduce you to my family long time ago… Nothing would make me happier…”

 

“Then… what is the problem? Are you ashamed of… me?”

 

She gulped painfully at the thought, but Jesse quickly shook his head vehemently and cupped her cheeks endearingly to explain:

“Of course not! I… I am really proud of you… if it wasn’t the tv, the media… I would like to want to scream to the whole world how much I love you.”

 

With that simple sentence, Tiffany giggles and felt her heart fluttering. Jesse never fails with his cheesy and romantic declarations. However, he continued after a sigh:

 

“But… I didn’t have a childhood like yours… I lost my father when I was very young and since then, I helped my mother and sister day by day, and I love them very much… I must warn you that my house isn’t something very fancy, so…”

 

“Jessie… do you honestly think that I won’t like your family or even your house?”

 

The red haired girl asked sincerely as she shushed Jesse with her index finger. Seeing his sad expression, Tiffany caressed his cheek lovingly and placed her forehead on his:

 

“You are the one who taught me to appreciate simple things in life. Honestly, I want to meet your family and know where you live because I want to know everything about you. I love you and everything on you too, don’t worry, I am sure that I’ll love everything.”

 

“Thank you, Tiffany…”

 

Jesse couldn’t help to show a smitten smile in seeing how much Tiffany changed. He leaned his cheek on her hand and kissed caringly. It was when they looked deeply at the other’s eyes and they were unable to hold themselves as they leaned forward and kissed each fondly, showing how much they cared. The kiss was brief and once they parted, they smiled lovingly once their eyes met. The red haired girl pulled him for a caring hug and he couldn’t help, but embrace her amorously. Once they finished, they just smiled shyly to each other as he reached her hand and held tight, saying happily:

 

“Now, let’s go to my home.”

 

“Sure, Jessie.”

 

Tiffany gladly answered as she smiled widely and they left the store. On outside, they met with Krystal and all of them walked to their destination, which was Jung’s House. The walking was nice; the trio was having a good time with each other. However, they were unable to see a shadow was following every step of them.

 

~x~x~

 

The trio finally reached Jung’s house as Krystal excitedly opens the door and enters, calling her mother:

 

“Mom! I’m home and oppa it’s here too!”

 

“I’m in the kitchen, darling!”

 

Meanwhile, Jesse was about to enter when he turned around and saw a nervous Tiffany. The latter nibbled her lips and looked to downwards, constantly fidgeting her hands. He saw her hopeless expression and caringly, he grabbed her hands and smiled:

 

“Don’t be nervous, honey. Mom will love you, trust me. Now, come in.”

 

However, the sulky red haired girl pouted and let herself be guided by her loving boyfriend. She sighed and added:

 

“All right, all right.”

 

Soon, the couple went to the living room where Jesse gingerly motioned Tiffany to sit and sat at her side. By the corner of his eyes, he saw that the girl still was nervous, so he reached her hand and gave a light squeeze. The girl’s eyes found his and her heart was fluttering warmly again, she didn’t even remember why she was nervous in first place. Now, she just smiled caringly and held his hand while getting lost in her favorite hazel eyes. However, all of a sudden, a middle-aged, yet beautiful woman came from the kitchen while apologizing herself quickly as the couple stood up from the couch:

 

“Krystal told me that we have a visit today. You should have told me this before, Soo—“

 

Yet, the woman halted her words for two reasons: First, because she was astonished with the visit, which was the most famous singer of the whole South Korea. And second, her blonde son (for her shock) was behind the singer begging with his eyes to his mother not continue her sentence and making this movement.

 

Jesse even mouthed in despair: “Cut it out! Cut it out! Don’t call me Sooyeon, please!”

 

Meanwhile, Krystal came to the living room and watched the scene in awe, trying to not burst in laughter. Mrs. Jung raised her eyebrow in confusion, but quickly covered up:

 

“Sooo, who is your friend… dear?”

 

Oh, Sooyeon definitely has some explanation to give; it was what Mrs. Jung thought as she kept her cold façade. Jesse cringed since he knew that glare and tone very well… Nonetheless, he and Tiffany chuckled nervously as he gulped and spoke proudly:

 

“Tiffany, this is my mom. Mom, this is Tiffany… my girlfriend…”

 

“Oh… so when were you planning to tell me, young boy?” It seems that the temperature fell drastically due Mrs. Jung cold voice, the latter crossed her arms and continued:

 

“And since when you two… are dating?”

 

“Hmm, t-two months, Mrs. J-Jung.”

 

The red haired singer nervously answered as she bowed her head in respect. So, the older woman took a deep breath and asked into her most serious tone:

 

“So… what are your intentions with my son? Because I heard a lot of rumors about your personality, in how bad you treat the others… and I also heard that you already date many boys of the celebrity world…”

“MOM!” Jesse quickly intervened, he was begging with his eyes to his mother stop. However, the woman didn’t flinch; she remained calm and cold as she spoke earnestly:

 

“Soo---Jesse, I am not talking to you. I want to know what this young lady has to say.”

 

Before the blonde singer could intervene again, Tiffany squeezed his left hand gently and offered an assuring smile for the hopeless boy. The red haired girl turned her attention to Mrs. Jung and managed to speak with all honesty:

 

“Mrs. Jung… you heard right about the rumors. I was spoiled, rude, demanding and yes, I didn’t care about the others’ feelings…”

 

“Fany…” Jesse whispered sadly as he watched the girl attentively. The latter took a deep breath and look directly at Mrs. Jung’s eyes:

 

“But… Jesse changed me. One night, I was being rude to a colleague and Jesse scolded me for being so spoiled and insensitive. At first, I didn’t like his attitude… but then, I realized that he was just trying to help me and wake up to life. After that, I realized that I couldn’t treat people in the way I was doing… So I started to change because of myself and… because he gave me a reason to be a good person and start again.”

 

“I see… and what about the affairs? I thought you already were dating someone.”

 

Although Mrs. Jung was quietly surprised with Tiffany’s answer, she had to know if this girl was serious about her son. That moment, the red haired girl couldn’t help to smile, eye-smile actually as a blush crept in her cheeks. She was recalling all her precious moments with Jessie; it wasn’t a hard question at all. That time, she turned to her side, get lost within his hazel eyes and let her heart speak by itself:

 

“It was only rumors, Mrs. Jung. I… I admit that I dated other boys before, but… none of them compares to Jessie…”

 

The latter felt a rush invading his body as his cheeks got warm, yet he let her continue:

 

“All the boys only wanted to please or flatter me… while Jessie, he was sincere with me since the beginning because he really cared about me and no one ever, did that for me before. When I realized… I already was in love with him; he made everything so easy… I knew I had to try my best to win his heart, because thanks to him, I am a better person now. He is much more than I ever could ask for… I cannot be thankful enough… The only thing I want… it’s to stay with him forever…”

 

Jesse felt breathless with her explanation, his whole body was warm and his heart was pounding madly under his chest. He looked at Tiffany with a dreamy and pleasant surprised expression as she held his hand and added with a smitten smile:

 

“And I really love your son, Mrs. Jung. He’s a great person and I am sure that you are proud of him… now… I would like to know if I have your permission to date Jessie?”

 

For a moment, there was a silence in the living room as Mrs. Jung was deep in her thoughts. Krystal nodded her head and smiled, she was more than sure that her oppa was in good hands. Meanwhile, Jesse felt entranced with Tiffany’s words; it was such an amazing feeling to hear those words from . He couldn’t help, but smile stupidly to his beloved. However, after a brief silence, Mrs. Jung cleared with a surprised expression as she turned to the couple, speaking softly:

 

“You are right, Tiffany-shi. I’m very proud of him… and… I must say… Yes, you two have my permission and blessings. I hope you two can be very happy together.”

 

The couple got all happy as Tiffany practically jumped in Jesse’s neck and he returned the hug tightly, feeling relieved. Mrs. Jung couldn’t help to grin at the sight; it was a sweet moment indeed. However, she spoke again seriously:

 

“But… I must warn you, Tiffany-shi. If you break my boy’s heart for another boyfriend-“

 

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Jung. This isn’t going to happen. Now that I have Jessie, I have everything. I wouldn’t be stupid to let someone like him go, never. Thank you!”

 

Tiffany even bowed several times to thank Mrs. Jung. With a satisfied semblance, the latter smiled and nodded her head in acceptance. Meanwhile, Jesse could only stare at his girlfriend stupidly, completely overwhelmed with her answer. It’s like he fell in love with her all over again. Yet, when he woke up of his trance, he realized that his mother was staring at him intently, which means… We need to talk. Clearing his throat, he nodded his head and turned his attention to his girlfriend when his sister spoke:

 

“Hey, Fany-unnie! Would you like to see our house? And maybe… give me your autograph?”

 

“Krys, don’t bother Fany, she must be ti—“

 

Jesse tried to intervene as Tiffany held his arm gently and shook her head with a smile:

“Don’t worry, Jessie. It would be great. I don’t mind at all.”

 

Unable to resist, the blonde singer smiled fondly in return and let her follow his sister in a trip inside their house, but he ends up blushing when his girlfriend winked at him and left the room. Once he was alone in the room with his mother, he took a deep breath because his conversation with his mother was always serious. The latter motioned him to sit on the couch as she took the spot next to him. Mrs. Jung looked to the kitchen’s door and back to her son as her lips moved to upwards slightly:

 

“It looks like this girl really got you…”

 

“Yeah… she did.” Jesse whispered with a shy smile as he lowered his head. However, his mom raised his head by his chin, looked deeply into his eyes and asked earnestly:

 

“Then why are you lying to her?”

 

“What?! I am not lying to her, I am honest with my feeling towards her-“

 

“I’m not talking about this… SooYeon…”

 

It was when it clicked; his mom was asking him why he didn’t speak about his true identity. That moment, he sighed sadly and looked down in shame:

“Because I am afraid that… when she knows who I really am… she might leave me…”

 

Shocked with his answer, Mrs. Jung shook her head and scolded him:

 

“What? Just because you aren’t a celebrity 100% of your time?! Listen, son…”

 

She paused and took a deep breath as she held his hands gently:

 

“When I discovered that my son was singing on tv, you don’t have any idea how much surprised I was, you are so talented. And even with your tight schedule, you still worked at your uncle’s cd shop. You always have been so responsible and I bet you must be tired of your hard work… if your father was here, I –“

 

“Mom… I have to. I’m not tired at all, because I am doing this for you and Krys. You two are everything for me. Since father was gone, I’ll do my best to take care of you two. But this is all that I am for now… I don’t know how longer this celebrity stuff will last… so that’s why I want to continue my studies and be someone…”

 

Touched by his words, Mrs. Jung cupped her son’s cheek and felt herself tearing up:

 

“Dear… you already are someone important for me and your sister. And I’m really proud of you two.”

 

Jesse felt himself tearing a little as he croaked a smile and looked down. Frowning, he remembered his martyr:

 

“I know, mom. I know that I always can count with you and Krys… but… now, there is something that I really feel scared… which is… if Tiffany discovers who I really am… will she still love me? A simple and not rich guy without all those expensive cars, clothes, mansions… it will be… just me…”

 

Once again, Mrs. Jung raised his head and stared deeply into her eyes as she added seriously:

“Being yourself it’s more than enough, my son. If she doesn’t love you the way you are… then, she isn’t worthy of your love, but… something tells me that this girl… really loves you. I could feel the sincerity in her expression and her voice when she spoke about you. It seems she did all that for you.”

 

Feeling relieved, Jesse cracked a smile and sniffed: “Do you really think so?”

 

Suddenly, Mrs. Jung smiled broadly and answered:

“A mother’s heart always knows, dear.” Her expression turned into a serious one as she held his hands again and advised him at last:

“But…you shouldn’t hide your secret of her so long. If she discovers by someone else, it will be worse. So… if you really love this girl as I know you do, don’t deceive her... Just tell her the truth. I know she will understand…”

 

Then, Jesse pondered his thoughts deeply… his mother was right, he had to tell her the truth… but the problem is… how?

 

~x~x~

 

At the night falls, a loving couple walked down the street with their hands intertwined. They were laughing and chatting with each other as the blonde singer spoke:

 

“Oh, come on. I told you that mom would love you. You didn’t need to be so nervous.”

 

“Yeah… try to talk to my dad and you’ll know what I am feeling…”

 

Suddenly, Jesse raised his eyebrows in realization. He is dating Fany for awhile and he never asked about her family before. So, he gently pulled her hand, making them stop on the sidewalk as he started softly:

 

“Oh God, that’s true… you still didn’t speak about your family… So, how are them?”

 

The question made Tiffany get lost in her thoughts, it’s been a while since the last time they saw each other. The red haired singer held precious memories of her childhood, but after her girlhood, everything was so rushed and messy. Nonetheless, when she felt her dear Jessi’s hands enveloping her own and his eyes staring at her so fondly, it was more than enough to make her heart thump erratically. It was like a warm and pleasant wave washing her heart away. With a long sigh, she explained:

 

“I have two siblings, an older sister and an older brother… and my father too… I talk much more with oppa and unnie since dad is always busy with work…”

 

By the sad expression in her face, Jesse could tell that Tiffany’s relationship with her father wasn’t the best. So he placed his hands in her shoulders and asked gently:

 

“What happened between you and him?”

 

Sighing again, the red haired girl looked away and started:

 

“But he wasn’t always like this… I remember so many happy moments when I was a kid… and when mom still was with us…” By her tone, Jesse could feel that those memories still made her heart ache. So, he caressed her right cheek gently as she continued:

 

“After she passed away, dad was never the same… I guess neither one of us were… He got busy with his work, so my siblings and I, well, we barely had time with him… One day, I told him that I would chase my dream of being a famous singer in South Korea, he was against… So I left my home to go to South Korea against his will. I was so lucky that Tae was my roommate; he always took care of me. Afterwards, we met SeoHyun in the audition and when we realized, we already were not just a group, but a family too…”

 

That time, Jesse was shocked, of course he heard the story about Tiffany’s way to success, but he didn’t know how much she has passed trough. She was really brave after all. Seeing her sadness, he lifted her chin with his finger and added honestly:

 

“I understand, Fany. You really are a brave girl for passing all this by yourself, I really admire you… still, I would like to meet your family.”

 

“But, Jessie, you don’t understand. I don’t talk with my dad about 7 years and I don’t know if he will accept us…”

 

Jesse gently shushed the nervous girl as he wrapped his arms around her lovingly. He looked down into her lovable chocolate eyes and whispered with a smile:

 

“Hey hey hey, remember… doesn’t matter what it happens… I’ll be there for you to hold your hand. I won’t let you go, I promise. We are in this together, right?”

 

“Yeah. Always.”

 

Tiffany eye-smiled brightly in return due his sentence, she burrows her head in his chest and just enjoyed the feeling of being inside his comforting arms. They stood like this for awhile, when Jesse suddenly remembered his mother’s advice:

 

“You shouldn’t hide your secret of her so long. If she discovers by someone else, it will be worse. So… if you really love this girl as I know you do, don’t deceive her... Just tell her the truth. I know she will understand…”

 

His mother was right; Tiffany was always sincere with him since the beginning and now, she was opening her heart about a serious problem in her family. She completely trusts on him…but… how will she react? Angry? Sad? Betrayed? Jesse was anguished, he really doesn’t want to lose her, but she must know the truth about him and SooYeon. How will he be able to do this? Taking a deep breath, Jesse withdrew a little from the hug and looked deeply into her chocolate orbs that he loved so much as he started weakly:

“Tiffany… I need to tell you someth---“

 

“Jessie, can I tell you something?” They spoke at the same time. The couple laughed as Tiffany apologized:

 

“You can go ahead.” “No no no, that’s all right, you can go first. Really.”

 

The blonde singer assured her as she returned with an eye-smile. Suddenly, her cheeks got warm and red as she looked down. Taking a deep breath, she looked up with her eyes shining with sincere love as she admitted:

 

“Jessie… I know you that we met for only 3 months, but… I never had been so happy like I am feeling now. Because of you, I changed for the good; you taught me to treasure the simple things in life. You are the most sincere and authentic person that I ever met, I don’t feel like I am with a stranger. With you, I can be myself, no masks or pretences… You are perfect for me. I like just the way you are.”

 

All of a sudden, Jesse found hard to breathe, everything he was trying to tell her, she knocked him out at the same moment. Will she forgive him for his lies? When those eyes staring at him with so much admiration, love and care… he felt weak and numb… he don’t want to lose her… it would hurt so much. She must know the truth… Breathing heavily, Jesse placed his hands in her shoulders and started into an uneven tone:

 

“Tiffany, please don’t say this, I – I am not perfect. I don’t deserve this. I – I must tell you that I – I am not who---“

 

“Shh… I know you are just being humble, silly.”

“But I –“Tiffany cuts him again with her index finger in his lips. Suddenly, she cupped his face, her expression showed so much love as she caressed him endearingly:

 

“Listen, I am not the kind of person that say ‘I love you’ to anyone, much more when is a person that I know only for a small time… But this time, my heart doesn’t deceive me… I know and I’m sure what I am feeling, so, what I am trying to say is… Jessie, I really and deeply love you like I never did to anyone else. You are the only one for me.”

 

At the same moment, Jesse’s mind forgot anything else when he heard her sincere confession. He was overwhelmed with her words, because he knows that it was the truth. His heart hammered madly under his ribs as his interior was on fire. Unable to speak, because words would fail to transmit everything he is feeling now. He stared deeply in her eyes, seeing nothing more than the reflection of their love. Not holding himself, he wrapped an arm around her waist while his other arm cupped her cheek lovingly. Afterwards, he finally leaned in and kissed her with all his love, pouring all his honest and deep feelings for this girl.

 

Meanwhile, Tiffany gladly returned the kiss with the same passion. Her hands got lost in his hair, sliding to his face and then to his neck, where she wrapped around it, holding him tightly. Jesse nibbled her lower lip, even gaining a moan from the red haired girl, she answered with opening and letting their tongues do the rest. It was a very passionate and breathtaking kiss for sure; Tiffany was surprised in a good way of course.

 

Afterwards, they broke the kiss with an ecstatic Jesse and breathless Tiffany. Her lips even got swollen due the kiss’s force, not that she minds it. Their eyes remained closed as their foreheads were touching against it each other. A sweet smile crept into her blushed cheeks as Jesse whispered solely:

 

“Tiffany, I love you so much… Please, don’t doubt it… Promise that you will stay with me, it doesn’t matter what happens.”

 

“*Chuckles* You don’t even need to ask me that… I will stay with you forever even if you don’t ask.”

 

This was enough to make his heart flutter continuously; he smiled in return and nodded, whispering a thank you:

“Its late, you have to rest for tomorrow.”

 

“But I don’t wanna leave you.” Tiffany pouted and embraced him like if her life depends on him. He chuckled and returns the embrace at the same intensity as he whispers:

“Me neither. But if you don’t go, Yuri noona will kill me. Don’t worry, we’ll see each other soon, my love. I promise.”

 

“Hmm okay…” However, she agreed against her will, still was pouting. Not resisting, Jesse pulled her face gently and planted a sweet kiss in her pouty lips, making the red haired singer smile dumbly. Reluctantly, she withdrew from his arms and whispered:

 

“Good night, Jessie. Don’t forget, dream with me, okay?”

 

“*Chuckles* Always… Good night, my love.”

 

Tiffany blushed again like a scholar girl and finally entered into her dormitory as Jesse watched her caringly. Once she disappeared from his sight, he sighed deeply and felt ashamed. He got his chance to tell her the truth about his identity, but he was a coward. However, who could blame him, he didn’t want to lose her… To lose Tiffany… is like… to lose his own heart… Still, it wasn’t fair to hide this from someone that loves him so deeply. Making up his mind, he looked to the dark sky and promised:

 

“Tomorrow, I’ll tell her the truth.”

 

With that, Jesse turned around and walked back to his house. However, he was completely oblivious about his surroundings. Behind a bush, a man with a camera quickly got the phone and dialed, waiting the speaker answer:

 

“Hey, boss. I got the pictures! You were right, they are having an affair. I’ll drop by your office in one hour. Don’t forget my payment.”

 

~x~x~

 

Into a familiar office…

 

“So, did you bring the material?” A middle-aged man asked into a serious tone. The photographer gave him a pendrive and spoke nonchalantly:

 

“See by yourself, Mr. Jang.”

 

As soon Mr. Jang got the pendrive, he placed in his computer and soon, he saw all the pictures, actually, the intimate pictures of the couple. Frowning angrily, he barked:

 

“That ungrateful girl left my son for that scum?! What do you know about him?!”

 

“Oh, you are going to like this, boss. This Jesse Jung has a double life. In one time, he is a celebrity when in another moment, he just a loser working at a cd shop. This would be quite shocking news, did you tell this to your son, Wooyoung?”

 

Mr. Jang scorned and shook his head:

 

“After that useless boy suffered that car accident, he don’t say a thing, it’s like he is afraid of something! Argh! Why do I have to do everything by myself?!”

 

Shocked with Mr. Jang outburst, the photographer asked carefully:

 

“Okay… but, boss… what will you do now that you know the truth?”

 

Suddenly, the man smirked deviously and stood up from his chair while ordering:

“Well, it looks like Hwang Tiffany broke her contract of dating someone behind agency’s back. She would have more success if she just stayed with my son, Wooyoung. So, here is my order…”

 

The photographer gulped when he saw Mr. Jang sinister expression as the latter bursts:

“I want this Jung Jesse or Sooyeon destroyed and when we finished, he won’t get any job in the whole Asia! But first, I’ll offer a deal with that Hwang, if she refuses to break with that scum and don’t go back to my son, her career will have a sudden ending! And of course, I would love to see her face when she knows that her boyfriend it’s just a poor scum! Hahahahaha!”
