Jessica’s POV

“KNOCK! KNOCK!”

A knock sound at the door startled me, and I was surprised to see Sooyoung’s head suddenly popped inside my office room. I just stared at her blankly as I lost for words.

“Hey, how’s your work so far?”, she asked while smiling. Her smile, so sweet.

“I guess it’s good so far”, I replied as I smiled.

“Ermm.. can I come in?”, she asked.

“Yeah, sure. Just come in”, I said. She then slowly entered inside, and standing next to my desk.

“Wow, all these are your sketches?”, she asked while pointing at my sketchbook. I was in the middle of doing some sketches in getting idea for the upcoming production for the summer season.

“Of course it’s mine, though. I didn’t steal it from anyone”, I said as I laughed at my own words. She couldn’t help but to laugh too, and her face reddened in embarrassment.

Honestly, I started to feel comfortable with Sooyoung ever since she gave me a lift to our workplace today. I could see that she’s a nice person, despite being dorky sometimes.

I think I didn’t have to make a fully introduction of myself here again, since on the previous chapter Sooyoung has already introduced about my personal background, right? Hahaha.. kidding! So, let me just introduce about my family background.

I’m the eldest daughter out of two, and my baby sister, Krystal Jung Soo Jung was six years younger than me. Both of us born in San Francisco, U.S., so, English is basically our second language of conversation besides Korean language. I love my baby sister so much since she’s the only sibling I have, and we’re close to each other. My father, James Jung, is a doctor at Seoul Hospital, while my mother, Jennifer Jung is a retired teacher. Krystal was a student at Seoul University, majoring in International Business, and she’s currently in her first year there.

During my high school and college time, I used to have boyfriends and girlfriends. Well, I’m not saying that I’m a popular girl, or a playgirl or something, but I have to admit that they might be attracted to me because of my looks. We, the Jung sisters inherited our beauty from our mother’s side. So, my relationship with them usually didn’t last long because I’m quite a picky person. I am a person who doesn’t like to update on my whereabouts, and to act so clingy with my partner, that’s why my friends called me an ice princess, a sergeant, or whatever nicknames they referred to, which related to my cold attitude. Plus, with my late reaction over something, and my laziness (I’d love to spend my time in bed sleeping rather than to hang out with my partner or friends), which I believed all those were the reasons that makes them doesn’t want to have a long term relationship with me. Pity me, isn’t it? That is why I’m comfortable to hang out with my baby sister, because she knew me well.. hahahaha..

So, I don’t know about this Choi Sooyoung, but, based on my observation on the first day of our meeting, I could probably say that, she kinda attracted to me because of my looks? Well, I just presume, don’t get me wrong here, okay? But, I know deep down, she’s a nice person.

“Can I sit here?”, Sooyoung asked. I just nodded my head, and with that, she immediately pulled the chair in front of my desk, and sat on it. I resumed my sketching work, while Sooyoung just watching me doing my work intently.

“Ermm.. Sica, can I ask you something?”, she asked.

“Sure, boss. What is it?”, I replied as I stopped my work for a while, and put down my sketch pencil.

“Haishh.. just drop that!”, she said. I just giggled.

“How did you feel working with a worldwide brand like Carolina Herrera?”, she asked.

“Ermm.. well, I could say that I feel so lucky and proud. You know, it’s not easy to get work with a big name as such, because there were so many competitions from the talents out there, but I managed to be hired by them, and to be able to share my idea with the great designers there, it was really such a valuable experience for me in my entire life”, I replied smilingly, reminiscing my moment working there. Sooyoung nodded her head.

“Wow, you must be very talented that they wanted to hire you. Come on, a graduate from FIT, who doesn’t want to work with them, right? You know, we feel so lucky to have you working with us. I guess, my choice is right”, she said, flashing her sweet smile. I couldn’t help but to feel flutter inside. This Choi Sooyoung, is really a sweet person, with a sweet smile she had. Oh, didn't I tell you guys, I like people who have a sweet smile?

“Nah, I’m supposed to be the lucky one to get working with your company. It’s part of my dream when I came back here, to work with a big company, and to share my experience which I have got during working with the worldwide company. And you know, Seoul is currently on top of the lists of  fashion capitals in Asia. So, I hope I could expand my talent in here, and perhaps, one day, I could have my own brand”, I said. Sooyoung nodded her head in agreement.

“Sure you can, Sica. A talented person like you should pursue your dream, and fly high. I’m sure one day you will come out with your own brand, and it’s not impossible. It’s just that you need to work hard in order to achieve that, just like what my mother did at her young age. My mother is not from a wealthy family, but she worked so hard, day and night to achieve her dream. That’s why I want to continue this legacy which my mother has built with her own sweat, blood and tears, to achieve her dream to have her own brand. I really admire my mother’s spirit, and of course, yours too”, she said.

“Oh, Choi Sooyoung! How sweet this person can be?”, I thought.

“Alright, I think I have to go now. I have a meeting with our supplier in ten minutes time”, she said as she got up from her seat.

“Okay”, I replied as I got up from my seat too as I wanted to send her to the door. She then walked to the door, but, she suddenly stopped, and turned around. “Ermm.. Sica, if you don’t mind, can I send you home after working today?”, she asked rather shyly. Well, unfortunately I have already called my baby sister to pick me up after working today.

“Errr.. actually someone will pick me up after working. So, I’m sorry, maybe next time”, I said as I wanted to . To be honest, I was actually a bit scared when riding a motorbike with her, since it’s my first time. But, it will be a lie if I said I didn’t enjoy riding it with Sooyoung. She’s very careful and protective towards me.

“Jinja, nugu?”, she asked me eagerly. I wanted to laugh on her eagerness, but I tried to hold it.

“Someone.. ermm..”, I was about to continue my words when she suddenly cut it off.

“Oh, okay, I got it. So, I’ll see you on tomorrow”, she said with a faint smile. Opss.. .did she angry with me? Am I acting beyond limits? She must thought ‘someone’ which I’ve mentioned earlier was someone special in my heart. I wanted to tell her the truth, but she’s already walked out of the room. I felt so guilty, and smacked on my forehead.

“Darn.. Jessica Jung, what have you done?”

***************************

“RING! RING!”

I was about to tidy up my desk when suddenly my phone’s ringing. I quickly took my phone that was on the desk, and looked at the screen. I smiled as the familiar ID caller popped up on the phone screen.

“Hello, baby!”, she greeted.

“Unnie, I’m already here!”, my baby sister, Krystal said.

“Okay, I will come down in a minute”, I replied while quickly grabbing my handbag.

“Unnie, don’t forget to bring your umbrella. It’s raining heavily right now”, she said.

“Oh, jinja?”, I said as I rushed to the window, then peeped through the curtain blind to look outwards. “Oh, crap!”, I blurted.

“Alright, just wait there, okay? I will come down right now”, I said as I ended the call, and rushed out of the room, heading to Sunny’s room.

“KNOCK! KNOCK!”

“Come in!”, Sunny’s voice being heard from inside the room, shouting. I pulled the door knob, and popped my head inside.

“Oh, Sica! What can I do for you?”, she asked as she got up from her seat.

“Hi, Sunny. Sorry to disturb you. Ermm.. do you have an extra umbrella? It’s raining outside, and I didn’t bring any”, I said.

“Umbrella.. umbrella.. hmm..”, she mumbled while tapping her chin, looking around her room.

“Oh, here they are!”, she exclaimed, and quickly walked to the corner of her room to take one of the umbrellas that was hanging on the coat hanger. She walked to the door, and handed the umbrella to me.

“Thanks a lot, Sunny. You are not going home yet?”, I asked.

“Not yet. I need to sort some appointments for Sooyoung on tomorrow”, she replied.

“Oh, Sooyoung is still meeting clients?”, I asked.

“Nope. The meeting just ended half an hour ago, and I think she’s already going back to home right now”, she replied while looking at her wristwatch.

“She must be soaked in the rain right now. Poor Sooyoung”, I said.

“Oh, don’t worry. I think she must make her stop somewhere. She didn’t dare to ride her motorbike while raining. She’s still got her trauma, you know”, Sunny said.

“Trauma? What do you mean?”, I asked, furrowing my brows in curious.

“Oh, I bet Sooyoung still didn’t tell you, right? She had been involved in a car accident two years ago, and she was injured badly. Her parents forbids her to drive her car, or riding her motorbike after the incident. Instead, they asked their family driver to send and fetch Sooyoung from workplace. But, you know, Sooyoung hates all that, and instead she asked her sister to send and fetch her everyday”, Sunny explained. I was surprised to know about the incident from Sunny. No wonder she rode the motorbike very carefully this morning.

“I see”, I said while nodding my head. “Ermm… I’m sorry, I need to go now, Sunny. My little sister is waiting for me at downstairs. I’ll see you on tomorrow!”, I said as I bid her goodbye before I left her room.

“Yeah, see ya!”, Sunny replied, and waved her hand at me.

***************************

“DING!”

I quickly walked out of the elevator after it stopped at the ground floor. I smiled at the receptionist who’s still sitting at the reception counter. As I passed through the office lobby, I noticed a familiar figure was sitting at the lobby’s couch, staring outwards through the glass wall of the lobby area.

“Sooyoung?”, I mumbled, and quickly walked towards the couch. She seemed like in her own world when I slowly approached her.

“Sooyoung, why are you still here?”, I asked, which makes her startled.

“Oh, Sica! It’s still raining outside. I need to wait until it stops, then I can ride my motorbike to home”, she replied with a smile.

“I don’t think it will stop soon”, I said. An idea suddenly popped up on my head.

“Why don’t I give you a lift to home? Since we’re in the same direction”, I suggested.

“Oh, it’s okay, Sica. I can ask my sister to fetch me later. Besides, I don’t want to disturb you”, she replied. I felt a bit disappointed upon hearing her answer. She seemed like still having a thought that ‘someone special’ will fetch me. I was determined to give her lift to home, whether she likes it or not.

“Soo, please. You have already gave me a lift to work this morning. At least let me help you this time, pleaseee!”, I said while giving her puss in boots look. Her eyes widen in surprise. She then burst out into giggle. I couldn’t help but to giggle too. I couldn’t believe I did that in front of her. I felt a sudden heat on my face.

“Arasso. But, only this time, okay?”, she replied.

“Okay!”, I said smilingly. She then took her bag that was on the coffee table, and immediately got up from the couch, and stood beside me.

“What about your motorbike?”, I asked her as we started to walk to the main exit of the building.

“I just leave it at the parking space. Don’t worry, I have my own parking space, and the security guard will watching it for 24 hours”, she replied smilingly. Her smile.. goshh.. I can’t get enough watching her sweet smile. I kind of addicted to it. Goshh.. what was I thinking?

We continued walking to the building foyer until I saw Krystal’s car. She parked her car outside of the foyer. I opened the umbrella, and without I realized, I grabbed her hand, and pulled her closer to me to share the umbrella together. Since she was so tall, she then took the umbrella that was in my hand, and held it. She put her hand on my shoulder, and we quickly walked to the car. I felt my heart beats fast the moment she put her hand on my shoulder. I was about to open the door when suddenly Sooyoung pulled off her hand.

“Ermm.. S-Sica.. is it okay? Your boyfriend or girlfriend don’t mind giving me a lift to home?”, she asked in a worried tone.

“Mworago?”, I said in surprise, and then bursting out into a laughter. Sooyoung looked at me weirdly.

“Soo, just get inside, and I will introduce my ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend’ to you later”, I said while giggling, and opened the car’s door for her. She quickly handed back the umbrella to me. I glanced at her, and she was pouting before she got inside the car.

“Aigoo.. so cute!”, I thought. I closed the door, and then rushed to open the door at the passenger’s side, and closed the umbrella before putting it beside the seat, and closing the door.

“Thanks, baby”, I said as I kissed her cheek. I could see through the rear mirror that Sooyoung was raising her brows in surprise while looking at us.

“Haishh.. don’t mention it, unnie”, Krystal replied as she started to drive the car.

“Unnie, who’s that? Don’t you want to introduce your girlfriend to me?”, Krystal asked innocently. I just giggled while glancing back at the rear mirror. Sooyoung was covering with her hand, looking rather surprise.

“Yah! She’s not my girlfriend, though!”, I said as I smacked on her thigh in embarrasment.

“Mwoya?”, she replied as she curled up her forehead.

“Sorry, Soo. This is my baby sister, Krystal. Baby, this is Choi Sooyoung, my boss”, I said.

“Hello, Sooyoung ssi! Nice to meet you! I’m Krystal Jung Soojung, Jessica Jung Sooyeon’s gorgeous baby sister”, Krystal said cheekily as she glanced at the rear mirror. I could hear Sooyoung was laughing.

“Hello, Krystal Jung Soojung, Jessica Jung Sooyeon’s gorgeous baby sister. Wow, you have really got a long name, huh?”, she said as she giggled. Krystal burst into laughter after hearing her words.

“You’re funny, Sooyoung ssi!”, she said while still laughing. I just shook my head amusingly while looking at her.

“Just call me Sooyoung, or unnie”, Sooyoung replied with a smile.

“Okay. Nice to meet you, Sooyoung unnie!”, she said.

“Nice to meet you too, Krystal!”, Sooyoung replied.

“So, where do you live, Sooyoung unnie?”, Krystal asked while her eyes still concentrating on the road at the front.

“Cheongdamdong housing estate”, she replied.

“Oh, that’s near to our house, right unnie?”, Krystal said.

“Yes, baby. Her house just across the street, the mansion area there”, I replied.

“Wow, you live at the mansion, unnie? How rich are you?”, Krystal asked in surprise tone.

“Haishh… baby! It’s not nice to ask with such question like that”, I snapped at her.

“It’s okay, Sica. It’s my parent’s mansion to be exact, Krystal. I’m not that rich. I’m just working with my mother”, she replied humbly.

“She just not only a nice person, but humble too”, I thought.

“Sooyoung unnie, you didn’t bring your car today?”, Krystal asked again. Haishh.. this kid, why is she asking her too much like a private investigator?

“Nope. I rode my motorbike this morning to the workplace. I never thought that it will be raining this afternoon”, she said, while glancing at me through the rear mirror. I couldn’t help but to smile while remembering on what had happened this morning. My first time riding a motorbike with her.

“Wow, you’re riding a motorbike, unnie? You’re full of surprises!”, she exclaimed excitedly, making both of us giggling on her words.

“I rode it since I was in college, Krystal. It’s an old motorbike, and quite rusty”, Sooyoung said as he chuckled.

“Neh, I don’t believe it! Your motorbike must be super awesome, right unnie?”, Krystal replied.

“Haishh.. baby! Stop interviewing Sooyoung unnie. She’s tired, though!”, I quickly snapped at her.

“Opss.. sorry! Heheh..”, she chuckled. I have to admit, Krystal was always like that whenever I brought my friends at home, or when we went out together. She likes to ask them about anything that she wants to know.

After thirty minutes of the journey, we finally arrived at the housing area where Sooyoung's mansion was located, after following the directions which she gave us. Luckily, the rain has already stopped. Krystal then parked her car in front of the mansion’s gate.

“Alright, thank you so much for giving me a lift, Krystal, Sica”, Sooyoung said soon after she went out of the car. The three of us were at outside the car at the moment.

“You’re welcome, Soo”, I replied.

“Don’t mention, unnie. Jessica unnie’s friend is my friend too”, she replied smilingly.

“That’s very nice of you”, she said. “Would you like to come inside? Maybe we can have some tea or coffee before you going back”, she asked.

“It’s okay, Soo. We need to heading straight to home after this. Maybe next time”, I quickly replied before Krystal managed to utter any words. She then glared at me.

“Arasso. Alright, I’ll see you on tomorrow, okay?”, she said as she leaned closer and hugged me.

“Thanks!”, she whispered before she pulled off the hug.

“Y-you’re welcome”, I stuttered as I felt my heart beats fast.

“Thanks, Krystal, and I’ll see you later”, she thanked to my baby sister.

“You’re welcome, unnie!”, Krystal replied smilingly, and getting back inside the car. I just followed suit. Krystal then the car’s engine, and waved at Sooyoung before she drove away from the mansion. I just could only stare at Sooyoung as my mind couldn’t function well, still shocked with what had happened just now.

“She.. she hug me”
