Part 1   *6 December 2014*   “Good morning everyone!” Jessica greeted as she steps in the canteen, everyone mummers a ‘good morning’ back with their eyes half open. Jessica couldn’t help but to let out a giggle “What is with all of you? Why are you all so tired?” she asks clearly all rested after getting in to bed early. “How can you be so cheery in the morning?” “Omo…” the girl took a step back “Dara Unni… you shocked me, were you standing next to me all this time? I didn’t see you, why didn’t I see you?”     The people in the room couldn’t help but to laugh at the girl. They still couldn’t believe how she can be this cheery and dorkily in the early morning, but thanks to that their morning changed as well. “I don’t know if I should feel offended or that I should laugh at you!” Jessica pouted “Why would you laugh at me? I really didn’t see you there!” she stated innocently, crossing her arms in front of her chest.     Suddenly a muscular arm wrapped itself around her shoulders, yet the girl didn’t even react. Dara looked at her “Yah!” she suddenly screams earning everyone’s attention, including the younger girl that had her arms still crossed in front of her chest. “W-What?” “Why are you shocked because of me, yet when Mino ah put his arms around you without a warning you didn’t even gave a kick.”                      Jessica just shrugs her shoulders “I don’t know~” she looks at Minho with a smile “I just feel protective around him” “Yah, that is even worse! As if you don’t feel protective around me!” “Ah Unni… you know what I mean!” Jessica grinned hugging the older girl. Dara let out a sigh “You sure know how to pacify me with your aegyo!” “Of course Unni, my aegyo is special!” she grinned as she pulled away from the hug. She got a knuckle hit on her head instead. “Ah… unni, that hurts!” she whined as she rubs her head. “It doesn’t and you know it!” Dara spoke, sticking out her tongue at the younger girl.   =================================================================================================   “Where are you going?” Minho asks as he notice that Jessica is dressing up to go out. “I have a fan sign event today, remember for Lapalette!” “Ah right… are you going to be safe alone?” “Of course and I’m not going to be alone, right!” “I know, but still I can’t help but to worry about you!” “Don’t worry, I will give you a call when I’m done!” “Or if something happened!” Jessica just nods her head “Alright, also when something happens, silly boy… you worry too much!” she pats the boy gently on his cheek “But thank you, I’ll be careful okay!” Mino nods his head solemnly “I will just… wait here and… do something to keep my mind busy~” the girl grinned “You do that… I have to go be back in a few hours!” the two wave at each other as the girl left the building.   *2 hours later*   “What’s wrong with Mino ah?” “Ah CL Noona, right on time… Mino Hyung is going nuts!” “Why is he going… nuts anyway?” “Because Sica Noona didn’t call him yet and it has been 2 hours now!” “Of course, I should have known that Sica Unni would be the reason, maybe she is stuck in traffic?” “She still could call me!” Mino said, almost yelled, as he obviously had heard their conversation. “What if… what if she is kidnapped?” “Mino ah~” “Or… or involved in an accident?” “Mino ah, stop rambling… she is just fine!” “Then why hasn’t she called me just yet?”     “Because my battery died~” the boy turned around in a flash as he heard the voice he wanted to hear. “Gosh you’re here, unharmed!” he mumbled, running to her as he gives her a big bear hug. “Woman, don’t scare me like that ever again!” “I’m sorry, I forgot to charge my phone!” she rubs his back, trying to calm him down. the boy let out a sigh as he is leaning his forehead on her shoulder, inhaling her scent which miraculously calms him down.     “Mino ah!” Jessica starts to speak softly when she noticed he finally had calmed down “Hmmm?” he mumbles as he was still leaning on her shoulder. “I have to leave tomorrow!” “W-What?” he shot up from her shoulders with big round eyes “To where?” “China!” “W-Why?” “I got an award to catch!” “An award?” “Yes, Yahoo Buzz Award, you must have heard of it!” he nods his head “I’ve won the ‘Most searched Asian Female 2014’ mostly because of what happened, but hey an award is an award and not many people can say they have won an award like that!” “True to that, but when are you coming back?”     “Well, when I am there I’m going to do some for my company as well and I have a fan signing event at the 20th, so I might as well stay there for a few more days, but I at least will be back after the fan signing, because then I will have a fan signing here!” “So you are back at the 21th?” “Yep I think so~” “So I have to miss you for at least 15 days?” “I guess~” “O gosh, that’s so long, baby how will I survive without seeing you?” “I will call you… or you can call me~” “But that isn’t the same as seeing you!” “Well then let’s see this as a challenge, if you still love me after this then~” “You will finally accept me?”     Jessica hit his chest with a blush on her face “No, I was just going to say that I will consider it!” “Yah Noona, why so mean?” he pouted as his head lowered “Aigoo my big baby boy~” she grinned as she patted his head. “O gosh you two, get a room already!” “Ew Unni, how can you say stuff like that, o my god~”  Jessica squealed as Dara just giggles and Mino is still silently looking at the floor.      “Mino ah, I did say I consider it right?” the boy looks up “Right… right you did, better than nothing!” he nods his head as he pulls her for a hug again “At least let me hug you once more like this!” he mumbles as the girl just smiles, hugging him back.   =================================================================================================   *8 December 2014, China*   “Told you I will call!” <I’m glad you did, I miss you already!> “Aigoo my big baby, well aren’t you having a comeback though?” <No not yet, remember they are first going to debut iKon!> “Ah, of course, how could I ever forget them and Big Bang, right? While CL is trying to debut in the U.S. I envy her though, hope she is going to make it!” <She probably is, I heard you are helping her with her English!> “Well, I try to that is!” <Well she said you are doing a good job!> the boy grinned happily, proud of his going-to-be-girlfriend “Why are you grinning like that?” the girl raises an eyebrow <I’m proud of you of course, duh… now when are you going to be aired? I’m going to be streaming!> Jessica giggles at him “I think around 10 pm China time, I don’t know the time precisely, but I will be the last one to be called on stage!” <Seriously? Probably saving the last for best!>   *few hours later*   “So did you see me?” <Of course, you look hot, I seriously had to fight with my members for drooling over you!> that make Jessica giggle as she covers her smile. “Your just saying that to make me feel better!” <What? Are you kidding Noona, you know how I think about you… of course I’m not just saying that! I’m telling you the truth… I even needed to push some trainees away or the iKon member, especially Bobby and B.I these two seems to really like you!> “Well the two of them did help me a few time and I try to help them… don’t be so mean to the younger once!” Mino let out a sigh <Fine, I will try not to be so mean to them anymore!> “That’s my boy… Oh Mino ah!” <Hmmm?> “After this I won’t be online for a few days!” <What? Why not?> “I’m going to prepare some stuff for the opening and the fan signing! I will try to contact you before the fan signing, so be there then!?” the boy on the other side of the screen couldn’t help but to pout at the woman “Don’t pout like that.” <But i’m seriously going to miss you~> “Aaaaaw you are? I’m going to miss you too, I gotta go now~” <Hmmm kay, please take care of your health and be careful!> “I will~”   =================================================================================================   *20 December 2014, Hillsun King Mall, China*   <Noona you made it!> “Yep I did, can’t stay long though my fan signing start in 15 minutes, listen do you hear that~” Mino grinned <You sure have a lot of Chinese fans!> “Yeah I know right, they sure are loyal, I’m really glad I still have them even after everything!” <I know right, I heard that they are known to be very loyal!> Jessica grinned happily “They are, they really are!” <Oh Noona~> “Ne?” <Remember the song that we are going to collaborate and you told me to write my part while you going to write your own part?> “Of course I remember, that’s going to be my solo debut song!” <Yep and I’m so glad that I’m going to sing with you in your debut, but anyway that wasn’t what I wanted to say, but I’m just done with writing my rap parts!> “You are? Already?” <Well, you are my inspiration Noona, I thought you already know that!> “I guess papa YG wasn’t lying after all!” <Of course not baby! Are you coming back tonight or tomorrow?> “Hmmm, my planning is tonight because the event ends early, unless something comes up that is, but I will let you know… Mino ah I gotta go, don’t want my fans wait for me any longer!” <Okay, please let me know what your planning is!> “I will, bye~” the girl waves at the screen as the boy waves back.   =================================================================================================   *21 December 2014, Seoul, South-Korea*   The plans were changes as Jessica just came back from China, yawning in her hand as it was still early, too early for her if she might say so herself. The plans changed when the CEO of Li-Ning came to her personally, asking if she is staying at the after party as well and who is she to decline the offer? Of course she wouldn’t, she isn’t that type of girl. And she had fun, talking with strangers who became quick ac
