“I never knew the famous Aphrodite cries,” I heard a girl’s voice asked.

It’s familiar. I must be dreaming… but no, I heard it again. It’s her voice. I looked up and saw her. She gave me that smile she always gives to me though she knows I won’t be returning that kind of smile to her.

The marks of escape are visible in her clothing and flesh. She has a hand reaching down for me, offering.

“Hand on mine, Jessica,” she said.

I nodded and took her hand and she helped me get up as I wiped my face with my free hand. Then I noticed her mates who are now standing just a few feet away from us.

“You guys escaped,” I stated, as a matter-of-factly.

Tiffany just shrugged and smirked. “You got us there, Jessie.”

“Jessica,” Taecyeon called and walked near me. Of course, there’s Taecyeon, aside from Dongwook, the other guy I nearly trust. He held my both arms, smiled, “It’s good to see you again.”

I just nodded and gave a sly smile. “Thunder,” I called.

“There’s no point in calling me that. I’ve already quitted.”

“So I heard,” I pulled away from him and faced Tiffany. “How’d you find me?”

She showed me that tracking device and grinned. “You gave me this, remember? But I didn’t get to track you. I tracked Sooyoung instead,” she answered.

I nodded and decided to invite them now so they could rest. As I opened the door, I felt it again, his presence. I closed my eyes, feeling it, smelling his scent. It’s seems like I’m dreaming. Then,I looked left, curious.

“What’s the problem, Jessie?” Tiffany asked.

I shook my head, “Nothing,” and opened the door and let them in. As they finally in, I shut the door behind me. “Suit yourselves. I’m just going to inform the girls.”

With that, I called them. They were stunned but then managed to feel grateful they’ve survived. It’s just hard to think how they escaped without having been injured or what. Tiffany must have been that smart. She is.

She started asking where Yoona was and we told her what happened but excluding about the boys who turned out to be fighters, too. I’ve never seen it coming. They were great pretenders.

Yuri gave them food to eat before sitting beside me.
