Chapter 39

Let's talk about love

Jessica's POV:

"Jessi, stop daydreaming. We need to try out the formation now." Tiffany pulled me up as we prepare ourselves for our practices.

It was 15mins before the end of practice and I noticed that the futsal team had ended their practice. I saw Jae walking to the bench and drinking her water bottle before Tiffany's loud voice attracted my attention.

"Let's try to practice the pyramid formation before we dismissed ourselves." Tiffany said as the rest of the cheerleaders agreed after the coach blew her whistle to end the practice.

"Tiff, why do we have to do that formation? Practice is already over right. Furthermore, the pyamid is not part of the new formations that Coach had given us." I asked Tiffany who just smiled at me.

"Mianhae, Sica. I was the one who asked Fany to practice the formation since I've never done it with the team before." Seohyun replied with an innocent face as I told her that it's okay if she wanted to try it out.

I was about to go to my position when I noticed Seohyun giving a thumbs up at the direction of the futsal team. I just shrugged it off as I prepared myself to go up to the top of the pyramid. In this formation, I've been given the task to be at the spearhead of the pyramid which means I need to rely on the stability of my team members to ensure that my climb up will be done safely.

'The last time we did this, I fell down from the top. I would have suffered guaranteed injuries if not for Jae's quick reflex to save me. Hopefully this time, everything will be fine.' I was talking to myslef in my head as I climbed up to the top. Luckily everything was fine. As I made my way down, I felt something wobbly and before I knew it....

"Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!"

The familiarity of the rushing wind against my skin and the vision of a nearing floor was too scary as I closed my eyes and prayed hard that I will still survive this 2nd fall. Once again, I felt something soft beneath me as I couldn't feel any more strong wind against my skin. I slowly opened my eyes to see a pair of familiar looking eyes with a smile that took my breathe away.

"Gwenchana?" I hear her asked as I just nodded my head. The feeling of dejavu was too overwhelming as I prepared for her next sentence.

"If you're okay, can you return my heart which you've stolen?"

Wait a minute.. That wasn't the sentence that was said before as I frowned at the girl lying beneath me.

"Were you expecting me to ask you to move your body away so that I can stand up, Sicababy?" I nodded my head unconsciusly as I moved aside to let both of us stood up.

Jae's POV:

As I lay down on the hard floor with Jessica on top of me, I couldn't stop myself from smiling. Jessica still had the same shocked face as she slowly opened her eyes. Even though this is the same encounter that I re-enacted, I couldn't stop my heart from being flustered all over again.

"Gwenchana?" I saw her nodding her head as she seem to be anticipating my next sentence. I decided to change it a bit. "If you're okay, can you return my heart which you've stolen?"

I saw Jessica frowning as she continued to stare at me. After asking her if she was expecting the original sentence, Jessica moved her body away from me as both of us stood up. By then, the other girls had rushed to our side as they pretended to be worried. Once Jessica had assured us, the cheerleading team was dismissed as I walked back to the bench with the girls to collect our bags.

When we were just about to leave the sports hall, Hyoyeon suddenly voiced out a suggestion.

"Hey, how about all of us watched a movie tonight, since some of us will not be around in a few days time."

Everyone looked at Hyoyeon who had a poker face on. The girls looked at each other before slowly nodding their heads. I turned to look at Jessica who also nodded her head.

"Well, since everyone is agreeable, let's watch it together." I said with a grin.

We then walked out from the hall and walked towards the school gate direction but just when we reached a junction, all of us except for Jessica turned towards the small park behind the school's cafetaria. I had to slightly pulled Jessica who was looking lost at the moment.

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

Jessica's POV:

Watching a movie with everyone was a good idea since I can spend more time with Jae. As we walked towards the school gate, I was confused when the girls who were walking in front of me and Jae suddenly turned towards the opposite direction when we reached the junction. I thought we were going to the movies? Why are we walking in this direction? I had momentarily stopped in my tracks as I could feel Jae tugging at our entwined hands for me to move ahead and followed them. Are we going to the cafetaria first? Maybe Sooyoung is already hungry. But then this direction is going to the back of the cafetaria which is a small park. Why are we going there?

As all of us continued walking towards the park, I could here Jessica loud gasp as we came nearer to the place that had been nicely set up by Sooyoung, Yoona and Yuri earlier on. There were 5 pieces of the large cushion as the couples took their seats.

"Sica, let's sit down. The movie will be starting soon." I said to Jessica who was still frozen at her spot. She only started to move when she saw the movie starting on the screen.

"Iron Man 3? I thought all of us had watched it before." Jessica asked me as I opened up my duffel bag.

"Yes, that's true but we haven't watched it together, all of us. And you need to put this on." I showed her the cardigan that I've bought for her on the day that we've watched the movie together at the cinema.

"Oh my god. How did you manage to get this? And did you plan all these?" Jessica was shocked but she still allowed me to help her to put on the cardigan as the movie started. I just smiled at her and asked her to just watched the movie.

Popcorns and drinks were passed around between the girls as everyone watched the movie quietly. Each couple were cuddlling and hugging one another as they enjoyed the movie. After almost 2hrs, the movie ended as I felt Jessica quickly sat up and faced me.

I smiled at her, knowing that she was waiting for my answers. "Yes. I planned all this. Even the fall earlier was all a re-enactment."

"Re-enactment of what? And for what?" Jessica frowned as she tried to think of the reason.

"To reminisce about the times when both of us started to have feelings for each other and also the time when I confessed my feelings to you." The moment I ended my sentence, the screen lit up again to show a video.

(Imagine it was a video that consists of photos of Jessica since she and Jae got to know each other)

As the video ended with the song that I sang for Jessica at the cafe during our date together, I turned to look at Jessica who was covering . I saw tears at the corner of her eyes as I quickly wiped it off. Jessica looked me in the eye as I gave her my warmest smile.

"Sicababy, I know that this might have taken some time and we even had gone past that stage but I still want to create a beautiful memory for both of us. So here I am, asking you with my whole heart. Jessica Jung, will you be my girlfriend?" I hold her hands as I stared in Jessica's eyes.

Jessica was not able to even answer me back as she just nodded her head and gave ne a sudden hug. "Gomawo, Jaegi. It's going to be the best memories for me to remember."

I hold her shoulders and created a distance between us. "Anni, it's not going to be the best memories for you. It's going to be a part of your best collection of memories of us since I intend to create more beautiful memories with you." I leaned in and kissed Jessica on her forehead.

"Aisshhhh, I thought you're going to kiss her on her lips."

Both of us turned around to see the rest of the girls grinning at us while Taeyeon was pouting after giving that comment.

"Only after her parents gave us their blessings, will I then kiss her on her lips." I grinned dorkily as Jessica slapped me on my shoulders before covering her face in embarassment.

The girls told me to bring Jessica back to the dorm first while they cleared the area. They wanted the both of us to have some private time for a while as I thanked them repeatedly. As me and Jessica walked back, I explained to her about how the plan came about.

"Soo, Yoona and Yul was in-charge-of the set up at the small park. The projector and cushions belong to Yul who brought them from home. Soo took charge of the food and drinks while Yoona  helped out in the settings. For the incident at the hall earlier, Seohyun helped out to get the agreement from the rest of the cheerleaders while Hyo and Taeng had to ask permission from Ms Lee to release us earlier than usual. I need the time to prepare myself to save you from your fall. Sunny's job was to get the cardigan from your closet without you knowing. Tiffany had the easiest job of updating us about your movement to the sports hall." I ended my explanation as Jessica entwined her hands with mine.

"You could just ask me simplely, Jaegi. You didn't have to go through so much hassle and I would still answer you with a yes." Jessica smiled at me.

"But I wanted it to be special. Just like today's date. 12th of December. We become 1 when we are 2gather. Got the picture. 1-2." I chuckled at my own sentence as Jessica just giggled and shook her head at my cheesiness.

That night, Yoona and Seohyun slept over at the dorm. Both of them joined Tiffany, Sunny and Jessica in their dorm as they slept at the living room. It was the same thing for us as me, Sooyoung, Taeyeon, Yuri and Hyoyeon also slept in our living room.

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

Everyone was getting ready for today's event. After spending the whole day at the amusement park yesterday, all the girls had slept over at Taeyeon's house since it's nearer to the orphanage compared to the dorm. We'll be having a mini celebration at the orphanage for the completion of the renovation project there. Uncle Kim had drove Sooyoung and Yuri back home an hour ago for them to pick up their cars. Yuri will be driving her own car while Sooyoung will be using her dad's car.

As we waited for them to come back, we had our breakfast first. Everyone seems excited to go back to the orphanage even though we were all quite tired since we were quite active when we were at the amusement park.

"Jae, don't you have to like do an opening ceremony at the orphanage since it's going to have a new name to it?" Taeyeon asked.

"Appa had already sent the plaque and I've already asked Uncle Kwon to put it up on the entrance. No need to have such grand event since Appa won't be here anywhere." I replied as I drank the orange juice.

"You can be the representative of your dad, Jae. Anyway, what's the new name for the orphanage?" Sunny asked.

"Sowon Orphanage. Since it's my Omma's wish to take over the orphanage. The name was chosen by me." I smirked at the girls, feeling proud of myself.

"Let's have a mini opening ceremony among us when we're there. Jae can cut the ribbon later." Tiffany suggested as all the girls nodded their head.

I was about to protest when I felt Jessica's hand on my lap. I turned to look at her and she just smiled while shaking her head. "Just agree to it, Jaegi. It'll just be among us. Nothing official."

Sooyoung and Yuri arrived just when we were about to finish our breakfast. We gave them time to take their breakfast while we waited for them again at the living room. After they were done, we bid Uncle and Aunt Kim goodbye before going off to the orphanage. YoonYul couple will be using their own car. SooSun and HyoHyun in one car while TaeNy and Jessica followed in my car.

(Yuri's car, Sooyoung's Dad car, Jae's Dad car)

We arrived at the orphanage shortly with Uncle Kon waiting for us at the entrance. We walked in to the orphanage and the first person to greet us was Kyungsan. I lifted up the small boy and we gathered at the main lobby. The caretakers had prepared a feast for us as the girls mingle around with the children. I handed over Kyungsan to SooSun couple when I saw Uncle Kwon gesturing me to follow him to the main office.

"Sicababy, I'll be away for a while to dicuss some things with Uncle Kwon. Stay with the girls okay." Jessica nodded her head as I stood up to follow Uncle Kwon.

Inside the office, Uncle Kwon updated me about the finished project as he introduced to me the new person-in-charge of the orphanage. Ms Song will be taking care of the administrative matters of the orphanage and was hired by my Appa. She used to work in the orphanage but she resigned after the old owner passed away. She explained that she didn't like how the owner's son was managing the orphanage so that's the reason to why she resigned.

"Thank you for helping us out with the orphanage Ms Song. Since you're familiar with the surroundings and some of the older children, I hope you'll feel at ease and comfortable working here. Please keep me updated if there's any thing that you needed help with and if there's any emergency at the orphanage. This is my contact details." I handed her a small piece of paper that had my contact number and my email address. "And also please take care of the welfare of the caretakers too. They are doing voluntary work here so I hope that the minimum we could do for them is to ensure that they will enjoy doing their work with their well-being being taken care of properly."

"Ms Park, I'll try my best to serve the orphanage well. The old owner was a good man. Too bad his son didn't follow his ways after he passed away. But now I'm glad that your father, Mr Park had taken over the ownership of the place. I heard from Mr Kwon that you're the one who was in-charge of the design and renovation project of the orphanage. I like the new environment and I'm impressed with your skills." Ms Song gave me a warm smile as we continued to discuss about other matters.

I also informed Ms Song about the girls' plan to come over on Boxing Day to watch the children unwrapped their presents. The 3 of us walked out of the office as I went to introduce the rest of the girls to Ms Song. While the girls were discussing about their plan with Ms Song, Uncle Kwon pulled me to the entrance to show the plaque that my Appa had send over a few days back. Just like what I've requested, it was placed at the side of the entrance door to show the new orphanage name and today's date.

As I chatted with Uncle Kwon, the girls came up with Tiffany holding a red ribbon with Jessica holding a pair of scissors. I gave them a wry smile as Uncle Kwon took a step back. Tiffany and Taeyeon hold the ends of the ribbon as they stood in front of the plaque while Jessica handed me the scissors. Asking me to smile towards Yuri who was on standby to take a photo of me, I just followed their instructions and cut the ribbon. The girls then celebrated like as if they won a grand lucky draw while Jessica hugged me from the sides.

After that mini unofficial opening ceremoy, we all enjoyed the feast as Kyungsan started to be clingy with me. I introduced him to Jessica to which he just shyly smiled at her. Uncle Kwon then brought us around the orphanage to see the completion of every room. Everyone was really impressed as they kept saying that I did a good job with the designs while I said that it was Uncle Kwon who had helped me a lot. While we tour around the orphanage, Kyungsan who was in my arms had fallen asleep.

"Jaegi, should we bring Kyungsan to his room and tucked him to bed? He seems tired." Jessica asked me as she helped to readjust the position of Kyungsan's head on my shoulder.

"We'll bring him over once we're done with the tour." I said as Jessica just nodded her head.

"The both of you looked like a married couple especially with Kyungsan in your arms, Jae." Uncle Kwon teased the both of us as I just grinned dorkily while Jessica just blushed and looked down.

The rest of the girls heard Uncle Kwon's comment as they giggled and began to tease us. They only stopped teasing when Jessica looked up and gave them a deadly glare. Me and Jessica went off to tucked Kyungsan to bed after we ended the tour. As I watched from the door how Jessica straightened the blanket that was covering Kyungsan, swiping his hair to the side and giving him a peck on his forehead, I couldn't stop myself from grinning.

"What's with the grin, Jaegi?" Jessica asked me as she walked up to me.

I opened up my arms and engulf her in a hug. "I imagine us with a little JaeSica and it brought a smile on my face."

"Little JaeSica?" Jessica frowned for a while as it took her some time to get what I meant. "How can we have little JaeSica when both of us are girls?" Jessica slapped me on my chest.

"We can always adopt and we will treat them like our own. What do you say?" I arched my eyebrow and gave Jessica a cheeky grin.

"Park Hyun Jae, graduate first and then we can talk about it." Jessica replied as she walked out from the room, leaving me behind.

I paused for a while as I rethink back about what Jessica said. "Wait a minute!! Does that mean you're willing to be my wife?" I ran out from the room and went after Jessica who had started to run away from me when she heard me shouting.

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

We were at the airport as we waited for the rest of the girls to arrive. Even though I've already told them not to take the trouble, they still insisted to send me off. Yesterday, only SooSun, YoonYul and HyoHyun went back to the dorm after the visit to the orphanage. Me, Jessica and TaeNy had went back to Taeyeon's house since Aunt Kim had prepared some food for me to bring back to give to Appa. Last night, me and Jessica stayed up a bit later as we chatted and spend time together.

"Hey, Jae. Did you bring everything along?" Taeyeon asked as she waved to her dad who had went to park the car earlier. Uncle Kim had sent me, Jessica and TaeNy to the airport.

"Yes. All in. I'll just go and settle my check-in baggage first while you all wait here for the girls okay." I said as I pushed my trolley to the airline counter.

I had just settled all my stuff and was walking back when I saw that everyone was already there. Since my flight was in 4hrs time, we decided to grab something to eat first. I suggested to eat at a Korean restaurant since I was afraid that I'll missed Korean food a lot while I'm in the States to which the girls agreed.

Since we were in a big group, we had to used two separate tables that had 6 seats each. Me, Jessica, TaeNy and Uncle Kim sat at one table while the other 6 girls took the table beside us. After ordering our food, the girls began chatting about their upcoming plans. YoonYul and HyoHyun will be leaving for the ski resort in 2 days time and they'll be there for about a week. SooSun will be departing tonight for their Europe trip with Sooyoung's parents. TaeNy will be going back to Taeyeon's house later with Uncle Kim to stay a few days there.

"Sicababy, then how about you?" I asked with a worried face.

"Don't worry, Jaegi. I've told you last night that I'll be going home to spend time with my Omma. I've already asked for Unle Kim's kind help to send me back later." Jessica gave me an assuring smile as she tapped me on my lap.

"Everyone, please don't forget to gather at the orphanage on the 26th morning since we've already promised the children that we'll be there to watch them unwrapped their presents. I've already made arrangement with Ms Song to prepare for the food and drinks for that day." Sunny explained as everyone nodded their head.

I sighed as I stared at the table. "If only I can jpin you all." I said it softly to myself but I guessed Jessica heard me as I felt her rubbing my back and leaning her head on my shoulders.

"There's always going to be a next time, Jaegi. Don't be upset, okay."

When the food arrived, everyone started to focus on eating as no one spoke a word. It was only after 30mins did everyone started to chat again. We left the restaurant 2hrs later as I had to prepare to go in for boarding.

"Thank you for sending me off everyone. Please enjoy your winter break and let's keep in contact with each other. You all can always give me a video call or we can skype together. Send my regards to the children at the orphanage and tell them that I'm really sorry for not being able to join them." I said as I shook the hands of everyone there.

When I reached in front of Taeyeon, she took my hand and pulled me forward into a hug.Whispering into my ears, she told me not to worry too much as she and Tiffany would help me to keep a look out on Jessica to ensure that she's not alone. Releasing myself from her hug, I gave her my warmest smile and mouthed the word 'Gomawo' as I gave her a thumbs up.

Jessica was the last one in line as I smiled when I reached in front of her. "Sicababy, I know deep down in your heart, you wish that I didn't have to go but I really thanked you for your understanding and for being strong. I'm going to miss you a lot this two weeks. Please take care of yourself while I'm gone. Don't skip meals, okay."

I saw Jessica bite her lips as she looked down. I knew she was on the verge of crying so I stepped forward and gave her a hug. "Cry if you want to since I'm still here. But please don't cry when I'm not around since I won't be able to wipe away your tears."

"I'm going to miss you a lot, Jaegi. Please take care of yourself too. Rest well and don't skip meals. Don't forget your promise of calling me at least once a day." At last, Jessica's tears dropped as she returned my hug.

 We stayed in that position for a while as I leaned forward to kiss her on her forehead. I could hear Jessica sobbings against my shoulders as I tightened my hug. It's only when she stopped sobbing did I distanced myself away from her. Both of us looked at each other as I wiped away the remaining tears from her eyes.

"Saranghae, Sicababy." I said to her as I held her face with both my hands.

Jessica nodded her head and stared into my eyes. "Nado, Jaegi. I love you too."

With that, I made my way to the boarding entrance as I waved goodbye to all of them.
