“Yuri-yah, can I ask your opinion on something?” Jessica asked from inside the bathroom.

 

“Yeah, sure.” Yuri answered coolly barely paying attention, her eyes trained on the ipad in her hand as she comfortably settles on the bed, that she and her best friend shares.

 

Just then, the bathroom door swung open revealing Jessica. “So, what do you think of this?”

 

Looking up might’ve been the wrong move that Yuri have just made, for right in front of her. Jessica stood clad in a red, almost see-through, above the knee spaghetti nightdress, allowing her to see almost everything. EVERYTHING.

 

Yuri could just feel every blood in her veins rushing in her head, all of her senses escaping her body.

 

“So?” Jessica asked in anticipation for Yuri’s reaction.

 

Try not to say anything stupid, nothing stupid and awkward, and don’t look like a and a maniac…especially that. Don’t.

 

Yuri chanted inside her head as she slowly opens to voice out her opinion, trying hard not to stare at Jessica’s oh so tempting body by diverting her eyes back on her ipad.

 

“F-fine, you look…fine.” Yuri could feel herself flinching as she tries to make sense of the words coming out of .

 

“You think so?” Jessica pouts, unconvinced.

 

“Y-yeah…” Yuri could barely keep herself together as she pretends to be busy fumbling with the gadget in her hand, “What’s that for anyway?”

 

Jessica then turns around, inspecting herself through the bathroom mirror before walking inside, feeling displeased by Yuri’s reaction.

 

Fine? Just freaking fine?! How dare you, Kwon Yuri! I don’t look just fine, I’m beyond fine—hell…I’m perfection! I’m almost and I get fine as an answer?!

 

Jessica mentally scoffs as she thinks of a different way to get what she wants.

 

“Nothing, I saw it when I went shopping today. It was pretty so…I bought it.” Jessica tilts her head to the side to look at Yuri, who wasn’t even looking at her.

 

Yuri, on the other hand, had to bit her tongue just to refrain herself from making a sound upon seeing the back of Jessica’s nightdress, it was just above the girl’s hips, revealing Jessica’s smooth, creamy, tempting—drool worthy back.

 

Calm down, Yuri. Calm. Down.

 

Don’t become a . Remember that’s Jessica, your best friend, your roommate, and most probably your ticket to jail if you her. So…DON’T HER! AND KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF.

 

SELF- CONTROL, YURI. SELF. CON. TROL.

 

“I see…” Yuri then placed her ipad on the nightstand before turning the bedroom lights off, “Anyway, good night, Sica.”

 

Good night? That’s it?? Fine. Then good night it is!

 

Jessica huffs in annoyance as she turned the bathroom lights off, before marching towards the bed, and sliding herself under the covers beside Yuri, who has her back facing her.

 

Scooting over, Jessica slowly slithers her hand around Yuri’s body as she slowly rests her body on Yuri.

 

“Good night, Yuri-yah.” Jessica whispered against Yuri’s ear.

 

Yuri felt a shiver run down her spine, Jessica’s voice just sounded too sensual for her own good, it was pure torture on her end, being unable to do anything—just anything to Jessica. Oh, the things she’ll do to her…

 

Calming herself down, Yuri then turns her body to face Jessica, allowing the girl to fully hug her. Jessica have told her before that she couldn’t sleep without sharing a bed with someone, therefore, without even a reluctance on her part, they both agreed to share a bed together.

 

Besides, cuddling won’t harm anybody or so Yuri thought, the moment her hand landed on Jessica’s back, she felt like she just got burned, obviously failing to realize that Jessica didn’t bother to change out of her nightdress.

 

Abruptly creating a distance between them, Yuri sat up, feeling a bit scandalized. “Y-yah! Sica!! What the heck? Why didn’t you change?”

 

Unfazed by Yuri’s reaction, and somewhat enjoying her outburst, Jessica remained on her spot. “What? It’s a nightdress.”

 

“C-can’t you g-go…and change?”

 

“I’m too lazy to change, I want to sleep.” Jessica whined, hoping for Yuri to give in.

 

“B-but…”

 

“No.” Jessica then forcefully pushed Yuri back down, resuming their previous position.

 

But this time, Yuri made sure to keep her hands away—far away from Jessica as she possibly can.

 

By the end of the night, Jessica was the only one who got a good night sleep, leaving Yuri wide awake to fend for herself against herself—who wanted nothing else to do, but to tear every sheer fabric of Jessica’s nightdress and ravage the girl to her heart’s content.

 

**

 

“Wow…you look horrible.” Taeyeon commented upon seeing Yuri, who just arrived in the office, looking like a drunken zombie, as she waddles her way towards them.

 

“Thanks,” Was Yuri’s deadpan reply, before settling herself on her office chair.

 

“What happened to you?” Sooyoung asked as she looks at Yuri from head to toe.

 

“Jessica. Jessica happened to me.” Yuri then placed her head on the table to get some shut-eye.

 

“What did she do this time?” Hyoyeon couldn’t help but snicker.

 

“She’s getting better in trying to kill me.”

 

“Well…practice makes perfect.” Yoona teases, earning a high-five from Taeyeon.

 

“Besides, whatever torture that she’s doing to you, we all know you’re actually enjoying it.” Taeyeon added, smirking at Yuri. “But seriously what did she do?”

 

“She bought a nightdress and wore it last night, she even asked for my opinion about it!” Yuri recalled.

 

“How was it?” Taeyeon grins, earning a glare from Yuri.

 

“She’s either trying to kill me or turning me into a .” Yuri groans upon remembering the torture that she had to endure last night.

 

“Well…that’s just something you have to live with considering you live with Jessica.” Sooyoung gave Yuri a consoling pat on the back, feeling a slight tinge of pity due to how dense her friend can be. “Anyway, time for work.”

 

The rest of the girls then left Yuri alone on her office table as they went back towards their own.

 

“Seriously, Yuri unnie is so dense.” Yoona couldn’t help but comment. “How could she still not get those hints?”

 

“Don’t worry, when she finally gets the courage to tell Jessica what she feels, she’ll get.” Taeyeon pointed out.

 

“And sure as hell, she’ll get it from Jessica.” Hyoyeon added.

 

“True that!” Sooyoung agrees right away, “Jessica won’t probably let her out of their apartment.”

 

“I’m not sure if I should feel excited or afraid for Yuri unnie.”

 

“It’s Jessica that she’s handling, Yoong. The feeling of being excited and afraid is the least of Yuri’s worries.” Taeyeon stated which was absolutely true. “Besides, let them figure this out on their own.”

 

**

 

“Whoa…isn’t it too early for the arctic to be open this early? You’re already on your full blown ice princess mode!” Tiffany commented upon seeing Jessica sitting on her throne in their office looking pissed in such a fine morning. “What’s up?”

 

“Yuri. Yuri’s what’s up,” Jessica huffs in annoyance, glaring at her friends. “The plan that you guys suggested didn’t work!”

 

“That’s not our fault, results may vary, you know?” Sunny pointed out, “Who knew Yuri has a strong will-power and self-control?”

 

“I hate you guys so much, I felt humiliated!” Jessica groans. “All she said was fine—JUST FINE, can you guys believe that?!”

 

“Maybe the lingerie that you bought isn’t y enough?” Nicole asked unsure.

 

“It was short, backless, and see-through. What is not y enough about that?”

 

“I don’t know?” Nicole shrugs, “But kudos to Yuri’s self-control for that!”

 

“Jessica unnie, why can’t you just confess your feelings for Yuri unnie?” Seohyun then butts in.

 

“It’s because the ice princess is afraid to be rejected, Seo.” Nicole gave Jessica a teasing smirk, as she answered Seohyun’s question.

 

“Shut up, Nic!”

 

“I still couldn’t believe that Yuri didn’t cave in.” Tiffany commented, feeling a bit of admiration towards Yuri’s self-control.

 

“Maybe she’s just not attracted enough to Jessica.” Sunny joked, earning herself another glare from Jessica.

 

“Yah!”

 

“What? It could be true, you know?” Sunny shrugs.

 

Jessica began to feel worried, being self-conscious slowly creeping inside her. Just the thought of Yuri having no feelings for her made Jessica upset, the uneasiness soon settles in.

 

“Hey…I was just joking, there’s no way that Yuri isn’t attracted to you.” Sunny felt apologetic upon seeing Jessica’s reaction.

 

“But I don’t want her to just be attracted to me; I want her to fall in love with me—Head over heels, and over the moon and beyond the galaxy in love with me.” Jessica pouts, as share’s her true feeling and desire.

 

“Don’t you think that’s a little too much?” Nicole questions.

 

“No. I still think even that still isn’t enough...” Jessica let out a long sigh. “Why can’t she see my feelings for her?”

 

“It’s because you keep on playing the best friend card whenever things gets awkward and touchy between the two of you.” Tiffany answered. “Show her what you really feel like it’s nobody’s business, then, maybe just then, Yuri will finally see your feelings.”

 

“That’s easier said than done.” Jessica frowns.

 

“That’s not true, unnie. Cause if you’re really sure that Yuri unnie is the one for you then wearing your heart under your sleeves won’t be that hard.” Seohyun then gave Jessica an encouraging smile.

 

“Or…you could just wear your underwear around your apartment to seduce Yuri till she pops!” Nicole then butted in, dispersing the serious atmosphere that has surrounded them.

 

“Yeah…that idea isn’t even half bad if you think about it.” Sunny immediately agrees.

 

“And if worse comes to worse, you can always go .” Tiffany then added.

 

“Yah! I’m not that desperate!” Jessica screams art them with a flushed face.

 

“But you can’t tell us that you’re not considering the idea?” Nicole smirks.

 

Jessica couldn’t refute, she’ll be lying if she said that she’s not considering it.

 

“Ohh…you can also give Yuri a !” Nicole added excitedly, earning herself a smack on the arm from Jessica.

 

“Yah! You four get back to your own desks and do your works!” Jessica commanded, her cheeks turning a darker shade of red.

 

**

 

[Yuri]:

Hey, sica. I might be home a little late.

 

Jessica read Yuri’s text as she began fixing her things, ready to head home after a long day of work while stressing herself out by thinking of ways to get Yuri.

 

[Jessica]:

Alright, I’ll just buy some take-out dinner for us then. Hurry home.

 

Jessica sent, smirking to herself. Hatching a new plan to seduce Yuri, and maybe wearing her undergarments around their apartment tonight won’t be such a bad idea.

 

Get ready, Kwon Yuri cause I’m going at you with all I’ve got.

 

Jessica smirks as she walks towards the elevators, but not forgetting to bid farewell to her friends.

 

**

 

10:32 p.m.

 

Yuri tiredly makes her way towards her shared apartment with Jessica as she can barely keep her eyes open; all she wanted right at that moment was sleep.

 

Standing in front of their unit door, Yuri then enters the code to unlock the door. If only Yuri knew what’s in store for her on the other side of that door, she’ll think twice before entering, for a fiery vixen awaits her prey. Her.

 

Never in her entire life was Yuri prepared to what have greeted her the moment she opened the door, her sleepiness thrown out the window. For just a few feet away from her was a bent-over, not to mention only clad in her black undergarments, Jessica freaking almost Jung, who was trying to reach for something under their coffee table.

 

Yuri couldn’t do anything but stupidly stare at Jessica, her brain melting at a rapid rate upon witnessing such a glorious scene, before finally freaking out.

 

Jessica then stood straight, acknowledging her presence with a smile she greeted. “Hey, you’re home!”

 

“Uhhh…” Yuri didn’t know what to say, she was out of her wits, and without thought and a side of bad luck. She turns around ready to bolt out of their apartment only to collide with the door; face first, her nose receiving most of the impact. “OWWWW!”

 

“Oh my gawd, Yuri!” Jessica shrieks, immediately attending to the injured girl.

 

Clutching onto her injured and bleeding nose, Yuri held herself together as she continue to lean against the door, pain creeping over her face.

 

“I’m okay, I’m okay!” Yuri groans as she tries to keep some distance between them.

 

Yet, Jessica was not having any of it, grabbing Yuri by the arm. She led the injured girl towards the couch.

 

“Sit down.” Jessica commanded. “Stay there while I go and get the first aid.”

 

Yuri didn’t bother to protest, the pain on her nose was beginning to be unbearable not to mention she was getting light-headed.

 

After a while, Jessica then came back with the first aid kit, a basin of warm water and a couple of towels to help clean Yuri. She sat on the coffee table in front of Yuri to begin patching the girl up.

 

“Let me see,” Jessica gently took Yuri’s hand off from the latter’s nose to see the damage. “Well…your nose isn’t broken, that’s good but due to the impact it’ll bruise and swell.”

 

Their faces was just inches away from each other, Yuri couldn’t look nor move away, all that she could do was hold her breath, and pray that she wouldn’t do anything too stupid like close the gap between them and kiss Jessica senseless.

 

Jessica didn’t think much of it, she was too engross in tending to Yuri’s nose that she failed to realize the brewing between them, not to mention she was still only in her undergarments.

 

“There, all done.” Jessica smiled after finishing her work, then without thought, she leans forward as she gave Yuri’s nose a gentle kiss. “That’ll help to heal your nose faster.”

 

Did she just…

 

Yuri could only stare with mouth agape at Jessica, she was taken by surprise with the latter’s bold action. Soon enough, her eyes landed on Jessica’s lips—soft, kissable, strawberry lips.

 

Following Yuri’s line of sight, Jessica held her breath when she realized where Yuri’s staring at. Praying, hoping, and mentally begging for Yuri to just close the gap between them.

 

It might be due to her blood lost and light-headedness, but Yuri could feel herself slowly leaning forward, her eyes never leaving Jessica’s lips.

 

Jessica closed her eyes and waits with anticipation for Yuri to close the gap between them, she could already feel Yuri’s breath fanning her face, heightening up her desire.

 

But before their lips could even touch, Jessica made the error of meeting Yuri halfway for she accidentally bumped Yuri’s nose with hers, leaving Yuri howling in pain.

 

“Owwwww!!!” Yuri moves away from Jessica, shielding her nose with her palms in the process.

 

Stupid nose

 

That was so close, we were almost there. Dammit.

 

Jessica mentally cursed in frustration, but seeing Yuri in pain, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

 

“You okay?”

 

Phew…that was close…

 

“Y-yeah…I’m okay, don’t worry.” Yuri forced a smile before standing up. “I’m really tired, Sica. I’m heading to bed.”

 

“But I already set the table!” Jessica protested. “Besides, you can’t go to sleep with an empty stomach.”

 

“Si—”

 

“—please, Kwon Seobang?” Jessica pouts.

 

The pout would’ve been cute and adorable, but the fact that she was almost in front of Yuri has just made it a hundred times more irresistible.

 

“Alright…” Yuri agreed.

 

“But first, you have to take your shirt-off.”

 

“W-what?!”

 

“You’re covered by your blood!” Jessica points out. “Now. Shirt. Off.”

 

“Y-you can’t be serious!”

 

Is she for real?

 

Yuri thought as she felt terrified while looking at Jessica, who was taking slow dangerous steps towards her.

 

“If you won’t do it, then I will!”

 

Let’s see what you’ll do, Kwon Yuri

 

Jessica then forcefully pulled Yuri by the shirt, slowly attempting to it.

 

Yuri tries to stop Jessica by grabbing the latter’s arm. “Whoa…whoa…let’s not get too hasty, Sica.”

 

Jessica didn’t say anything and just continue with what she’s doing, while trying to avoid Yuri, who was trying to stop her. Reaching the final button, Jessica was feeling victorious not until Yuri enveloped her in a bear hug.

 

“Eeeeeekkk…” Jessica squealed in surprise. “Yah! Kwon Yuri!”

 

Hearing Jessica’s squeal, Yuri groans in pain, unable to shield her ears. “Oh my gawd, Sica! What the heck??”

 

Jessica couldn’t say anything, she was frozen on her spot as she realize the compromising situation that they were in now, she could feel Yuri’s skin against hers and it sent shivers down her spine. They have never been that close before, and to be honest she likes it.

 

Realizing the situation, Yuri immediately released Jessica, stepping away from the latter. Thinking that she must’ve upset the girl due to what she did, if only she knew it was the opposite.

 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.” Yuri apologized, afraid to look at Jessica. “I’ll just clean myself then we can have dinner.”

 

Before Jessica could say anything, Yuri dashed towards their room, leaving the disappointed girl behind.

 

Stupid Kwon Yuri, why can’t you get the gist?!

 

**

 

“Whoa…your nose!”

 

“Nooooose!”

 

“Damn…”

 

“Your nose”

 

These were what greeted Yuri the moment she came to work the next day, her friends immediately pointing out the obvious.

 

“Thanks a lot guys, that’s really making me feel better.” Yuri sarcastically stated as she rolls her eyes at her friends.

 

“What happened? Did you get into a fight?” Taeyeon was the first to ask.

 

“Yes with a door.” Yuri grumbled in anger.

 

“What??”

 

“It’s a long story. It involves Jessica, her black undergarments, and our stupid door.” Yuri tries to explain.

 

“I think I can interpret that. Give me a moment.” Hyoyeon looked serious for a moment before snapping her finger. “Let’s see…You saw Jessica wearing her undergarments then you panicked and stupidly smashed your face on your door. Yes?”

 

Begrudgingly Yuri nods her head. “Yes…”

 

There was a moments of silence before her friends erupted in laughter, obviously adding insult to Yuri’s injury.

 

“You guys are not helping!”

 

“How could we help you? You can’t even help yourself with what’s already in front of you. It already smashed you in the face!” Sooyoung pointed out, still laughing.

 

“What does that supposed to mean?!”

 

“It means what it already means, Yuri unnie stop being so dense!” Yoona answers, the first one to recover.

 

“Jessica’s the clue, Yuri. She’s the ‘CLUE’.” Taeyeon added, trying to make it obvious for Yuri to understand.

 

“I still don’t get it?”

 

“Oh my gawd, Yuri! You’re taking stupid to a whole new level!” Hyoyeon groans in annoyance.

 

“Yah!”

 

“Let’s just put it this way. Sometimes, the so-called ‘clue’ could also be the ‘answer’. Okay?” Taeyeon looks at Yuri, hoping for the latter to finally get it.

 

“I…uhhh…”

 

Feeling frustrated, Sooyoung then grabs Yuri by the shoulders before violently shaking the latter. “WHAT WE ALL MEANT WAS WHEN YOU SEE ‘FOOD’, YOU EAT FOOD. YOU LOVE FOOD. YOU CONFESS YOUR LOVE FOR FOOD. YOU SHOW WHAT YOU FEEL TO FOOD. YOU JUST DO EVERYTHING FOR FOOD CAUSE IF YOU DON’T, FOOD’S FEELINGS HAS A TENDENCY TO SPOIL, AND FOOD WON’T WAIT FOR YOU FOREVER. YOU HAVE TO GRAB YOUR CHANCE WITH FOOD WHILE YOU STILL CAN. DO YOU GET IT NOW??”

 

“St-stooop sh-sha-shaking meee…” Yuri was feeling dizzy; everything around her soon began to spin making her nauseous.

 

“Sooyoung, stop it!” Taeyeon commanded.

 

Although reluctant, Sooyoung finally let Yuri go, dropping the girl down on her chair.

 

“Oh my gawd, my head hurts!” Yuri groans, trying to get herself together. “What the hell, Sooyoung!”

 

“Look, I do feel sorry for you, but I’m not apologizing for what I did!” Sooyoung stood her ground, staring down at Yuri. “You obviously need the shaking, to be honest, you need more than that.”

 

“I still don’t understand, and what does ‘food’ have anything to do with my problem with Jessica?”

 

“You don’t have a problem with Jessica unnie, you have feelings for her.” Yoona corrected. “And with what Sooyoung unnie said earlier, she meant just replace food with something else…something you desire the most, and with your case, someone.”

 

“So just confess,” Taeyeon urge, giving Yuri an encouraging smile.

 

“I don’t know…” Yuri looks uncertain. “What if she doesn’t feel the same way?”

 

“Oh my gawd!” Sooyoung bursts, raffling her hair in frustration. “The gods must be testing me; I might have to slap an idiot today!”

 

Hyoyeon and Yoona immediately restrain Sooyoung, who looks ready to jump on Yuri.

 

“Okay, okay. Enough of this, we all have work to do.” Taeyeon then dismiss the others before staring at Yuri. “Look…Yuri, trust your gut instincts, okay? Sometimes, you just really have to put everything on the line.”

 

“I could lose her, you know?”

 

“—or you could keep her forever.” Taeyeon added right away before leaving Yuri alone.

 

“Jessica Jung, just what are you trying to do to me?” Yuri mumbled to herself.

 

**

 

“Seeing your face, I’m going to assume that whatever plan you used last night didn’t go well.” Nicole stated the moment Jessica arrived.

 

“No,” was Jessica simple answer as she flops herself on her office chair. “And why are you guys flocking here on my desk?”

 

“We’re just eager to know what happened last night.” Sunny shrugs, “Now. Tell us.”

 

“Nothing happened last night…well almost.”

 

“Almost is good than nothing.”

 

“You’re stalling!” Nicole pointed out, “Now. Story!”

 

“Fine.” Jessica then sighs before telling everything that has almost transpired between her and Yuri last night, making the others squeal in joy and boo at the end.

 

“You should’ve kissed her,” were the other’s immediate complain, except for Seohyun, who was looking at them in amusement.

 

“Yeah, what’s wrong with you?” Tiffany added, “At this point, Yuri could already qualify as a saint!”

 

Closing her eyes as she restrains herself from strangling each one of them, Jessica then sighs in exasperation. “And then what?!”

 

“And then you two can just go skip dinner and go straight to having each other for dessert!” Nicole asserted as if it was a matter of fact.

 

Tiffany then gave Nicole a high five. “Nice!”

 

“And if she doesn’t kiss me back??” Jessica challenged, “Then what?”

 

The others immediately went silent, unable to give a solution for that kind of outcome which is almost unlikely.

 

“How would you know that she won’t kiss you back, unnie?” Seohyun finally spoke.

 

“I-I…” Jessica was then rendered speechless.

 

“Unnie,” Seohyun began. “You won’t know the answer to that question or to any other questions if you won’t take a chance to find out. Just look at Yoong and me, if Yoona didn’t take the chance and confess then the two of us won’t even be together right now. Any relationship is a two way street, it depends on the two of you if you’ll take the chance to cross the road to another one or just be stuck from where you two are.”

 

“Easier said than done, Seohyun.” Jessica dejectedly laid her head on her desk as she began to draw invisible circles on the surface. “I don’t even know if she likes me more than just her best friend.”

 

“It’s quite obvious that you two are already beyond the borderline of being best friends, but not to the point of being a couple.” Sunny explains, earning nods from the other girls.

 

“You know what you should do?” Nicole points at Jessica, “Tie Yuri down on your bed and…you know…”

 

“Yah!”

 

“What?” Nicole shrugs, “It’s not like that wasn’t part of your plan!”

 

“I didn’t say that it wasn’t part of my plan!” Jessica couldn’t help but blush, feeling slightly bashful. “…I just want it…to happen…when…we’re together…you know…”

 

“Then it’s obviously time for you to step up your game!” said Nicole, who looks smug about it. “Go and strut in your birthday suit in your apartment, that one should be pretty obvious enough!”

 

“Yah! I am not that desperate!”

 

“If you say so…” Nicole shrugs, “I heard from Hyonie that a lot of their officemates likes to hit on Yuri.”

 

“Oh yeah!” Sunny nods her head in agreement. “Even Sooyoungie told me about that, she said that a lot of girls in their office likes to ask Yuri out of lunch or buys her lunch.”

 

“Tae-tae, also said that one of their clients even openly tries to flirt with Yuri during their meeting.” Tiffany added. “She was a model, if I remember correctly.”

 

Hearing her friends’ words, Jessica could already feel her head ready to burst, not to mention that sinking feeling in her stomach upon realizing just how many people she’s competing with just for Yuri’s affection.

 

“Now…you guys are just making me feel even worst.” Jessica mumbles, looking forlorn as she swims in the green ocean of jealousy.

 

**

[Jessica]:

I’m here at your office lobby. I wanna go out for dinner. NOW.

 

Reading Jessica’s commanding text; Yuri hastily began to fix her things, not wanting to make Jessica wait.

 

“I’m going. Bye!”

 

Yuri announced as she stride towards the elevators, avoiding the people coming her way as she taps on her phone while impatiently waiting for the elevator to come.

 

[Yuri]:

I’m coming down now.

 

“You’re going home already?” Taeyeon asked.

 

“She just can’t wait to go home to Jessica that’s why!” Hyoyeon shouts from her desk.

 

“Shut up, Hyo!” Yuri raised her fist towards Hyoyeon’s direction, making her friends laugh; she then stuck her tongue out at them as she steps inside the elevator. “And for your information, she’s actually waiting for me downstairs…bye!”

 

**

 

Waiting patiently for Yuri, Jessica could already feel some eyes on her, and yet, she couldn’t care less. Mindlessly tapping her fingers on the table, Jessica focuses her attention towards the elevators, when all of a sudden; someone took a sit in front of her.

 

“Hi!” A man greets her with a smile, before confidently introducing himself. “I’m Ok Taecyeon, and you are?”

 

“Not interested,” Was Jessica’s deadpan reply, obviously catching the man off guard.

 

Taecyeon whistles. “Whoa…Ice princess!”

 

Jessica didn’t bother to say anything and just gave Taecyeon a glare, wanting the annoying man to leave her alone.

 

“Feisty!” Taecyeon commented, brushing off Jessica’s glare. “How about, you and I go out for dinner.”

 

“Lucky me…” Jessica smiles before she continues. “I am going out for dinner, but obviously not with you.”

 

“Why you…” Taecyeon was beet red from anger and embarrassment, slamming his hand on the table, making Jessica jump on her seat in fright, at the same time grabbing the attention of the people around them.

 

“Is there a problem here, Mr. Ok?”

 

Both Jessica and Taecyeon looks at the person walking towards them, catching their attentions, Jessica immediately stood up from her seat as she felt relieve upon seeing Yuri.

 

Parking herself besides Jessica, Yuri instinctively wraps her arm around Jessica’s waist, feeling the sense of overprotectiveness wash upon her as she witness the scene a while ago.

 

“Now, what seems to be the problem here, Mr. Ok?” Yuri asks again, staring straight at Taecyeon.

 

“T-there’s…n-no problem here, Ms. Kwon.” Taecyeon meekly replies, averting his eyes away from his superior.

 

“I think there is, considering that you look like you were harassing my wife just seconds ago.” Yuri blurts out without thought, letting her anger do the talking.

 

The hell! Did I just say wife? !

 

Yuri mentally kicks herself upon realizing what she have just said.

 

Did she just say wife??

 

Jessica stares at Yuri in surprise; she could already feel herself blushing as she restrains herself from squealing in delight, biting back the ear-splitting grin that’s threatening to come out.

 

“Y-your wife??” Taecyeon asked in disbelief, as he looks at Yuri then to Jessica. “I-I…um…I’m very s-sorry, Mrs. Kwon…I-I didn’t know…I’m really sorry.”

 

Jessica couldn’t even be bothered with what he was saying, still feeling over the moon being referred to as Yuri’s wife, not to mention being called Mrs. Kwon have just sent her beyond cloud nine.

 

“The ne—”

 

“—let him be, Kwon Seobang.” Jessica held Yuri back by the shoulder, giving the latter a smile. “We should go, I’m starving.”

 

Giving in to Jessica, Yuri nods her head in obedience but not before throwing one last glare at the cowering man in front of them.

 

**

 

“So…Kwon Seobang, where do you plan to take your ‘wife’ for dinner?” Jessica boldly asked as they stepped out of the building with their hands intertwined.

 

It sure does feel nice hearing her refer to herself as my wife

 

Yuri mentally gushed. Stopping by the sidewalk, gazing at her ‘wife’, she decided to play along.

 

“Well…” Yuri began, gently fixing Jessica’s hair, tucking the loose strands behind the latter’s ear. “…that depends on what my ‘wife’s’ craving for dinner.”

 

It sure does feel nice hearing you refer to me as your wife

 

Jessica could just feel her heart flutter hearing Yuri’s words, while the sweet gesture made her swoon; if possible, she might’ve just fallen for Yuri even harder than before.

 

“Why don’t we go eat at the restaurant near our place?” Jessica offered. “You haven’t taken me there for how long already.”

 

“Okay!” Yuri agrees right away with a goofy smile she added, “If that’s what my ‘wife’ wants, then so be it.”

 

Even though, she knew they were just fooling around, Jessica decided to play her part as she playfully pinched Yuri’s nose, smirking. “Keep flattering your ‘wife’ like that and let’s see where it gets you.”

 

A one way ticket to jail or to my death

 

Was what Yuri immediately thought of after hearing Jessica’s words, but deciding not to show her fear, she decided to laugh it off.

 

“Oh come on, Sica, we both know you won’t hurt me. You love me way too much!” Yuri continues to laugh, failing to realize that she have just hit the nail straight on the head.

 

Stupid Kwon Yuri! I do feel that. I love you way too much for my own good

 

“Yeah, yeah!” Jessica pretends to be annoyed, pulling her hand away from Yuri, walking away from Yuri, who was still laughing. “You’re so full of yourself, let’s just go, I’m starving!”

 

“Oh come on, Sica!” Yuri whines as she follows the girl. “I was just joking!”

 

“Whatever.” Jessica coldly brushed Yuri off, folding her arms in front of her chest.

 

Just then, a cold gush of wind made her shiver. Rubbing her arms, Jessica began walking even faster, until she felt something on her shoulders. Looking back, she saw Yuri, who had just placed her coat on her.

 

“The weather’s getting colder nowadays; you should start wearing warmer clothes.” Yuri reminded, smoothly wrapping her arm around Jessica’s shoulder before pulling the girl closer to her.

 

“Yah! I just forgot my coat that’s all!” Jessica argues, huffing like a spoilt little girl.

 

“Sure you did!” Yuri nonchalantly responded.

Sitting at their usual table, a waitress immediately went to their table to take their orders, whose attention was solely on Yuri.

 

“What would you be having tonight?” The waitress asked, batting her eyes at Yuri, which didn’t go amiss to Jessica. “We have news items on our menu if you’d like to try.”

 

“What do you think, Sica?” Yuri asked, oblivious to Jessica’s murderous glare at the waitress. “Wanna try something new or do you want the usual?”

 

“You decide, Kwon Seobang. I trust you.” Jessica smiled, as she placed the menu on the table.

 

“Alright…” Yuri was quite taken aback by Jessica’s answer; usually the girl would kick a fuss about the food that she wants. Heeding the girl’s request, she began to order, picking some of Jessica’s usual favorite and a couple of new ones for them to try.

 

“Is that all, handsome?” The waitress boldly tries to flirt with Yuri.

 

“Yes, that’s all. Thank you.” Yuri, on the other hand, just laughed the compliment off.

 

Meanwhile, the girl on the other end of the table looks ready to kill, as she swims deeper in the sea of jealousy.

 

“Wait! I almost forgot; please make sure that no cucumbers will be on our food.” Yuri suddenly stops the waitress, before pointing at Jessica. “Or else, my ‘wife’ right there will have my head for it.”

 

“Damn right I will,” was Jessica immediate response, sending another glare at the waitress.

 

“Oh…I’ll make sure of it, no worries.” The waitress forced a smile before walking away from their table.

After having their dinner, the two decided that it was finally time for them to go home. Yuri then put her coat back on Jessica, refusing the latter in giving it back.

 

They were halfway to their apartment building, when all of a sudden; the rain began to pour catching them off-guard. Unable to find any shelter, they both decided to make a run for it, seeing that it was just a couple of blocks away.

 

“C-cold…co-cold…” Jessica mumbled, shivering upon entering the apartment lobby.

 

Seeing Jessica’s body tremble, Yuri immediately pulled the latter towards the elevator. Upon entering their apartment, Yuri didn’t waste any time as she escorted Jessica towards the bathroom.

 

“Go take a warm shower, I’ll go and make some tea.” Yuri instructed, but before she could even steps away from Jessica, the shivering girl suddenly pulled her towards the bathroom.

 

“W-we’re both drenched, it’s best if we just take a warm shower together before either of us even gets sick.” Jessica stated as she began to take her clothes off, sending Yuri in a state of panic.

 

Shower…together…

 

“No!” Yuri screams in panic, before trying to compose herself. “I-I…I mean, I’m okay, you can just go shower first.”

 

“I’m not taking a no from you, Kwon Yuri.” Jessica stood her ground as she stares straight at Yuri, intimidating the latter.

 

“But—”

 

“Now. Kwon Yuri. NOW.”

 

Seeing no other choice but to comply, Yuri half-heartedly nods her head. Turning around to face the wall, Yuri began to take her clothes off until she was down to her undergarments.

 

“Let’s just leave our undergarments on, okay?” Yuri stated as she slowly turns around only to be greeted by Jessica’s smooth milky-white skin with nothing on. Not a thing.

 

Right there and then, Yuri was absolutely sure she forgot how to breathe, basking in the glow of Jessica’s skin.

 

As if everything was in slow motion, Yuri watched Jessica’s every move. The way the latter struts towards the shower with her hips swaying to the sides, could’ve just made Yuri faint and if that wasn’t enough, the moment the water hits Jessica’s skin, slowly cascading down the girl’s gorgeous body almost sent Yuri over the edge.

 

Yuri knew, she absolutely knew, even from the start Jessica was a losing battle. A war she was never ready for, but ready to march towards to.

 

“Yah! Get in here.” Jessica commanded, snapping Yuri out of her reverie.

 

Although feeling reluctant and knew Jessica was up to no good, Yuri followed Jessica’s order.

 

Oh gawd, help me!

 

Being cramped up in the showers with Jessica was never in Yuri’s plan for the night, let alone rubbing skins together in a compromising situation, resulting for her to back up against the wall avoiding any physical contact with the girl.

 

“Yuri-yah, can you wash my back for me?” Jessica requested, looking back at Yuri, who was looking at her as if she was a ghost.

 

I said help me not tempt me more!

 

Yuri was close to having a mental breakdown right there and then upon hearing Jessica’s crazy request.

 

Should I do it?

 

What if I do something stupid?

 

“Yuri!”

 

“H-huh…what?”

 

“My back?” Jessica swept her hair to the side, showing her back to be washed, gesturing for Yuri to begin.

 

Jessica on the other hand was holding her breath. Hoping, praying, even close to begging for Yuri to do something that could possibly hint her that they could just be something more than just friends, resulting for her to do such drastic measure and that is to seduce Yuri with everything she’s got.

 

To hell with this you asked for this, Sica

 

Yuri has finally thrown in the towel, if she was going to jail, she might as well make the most out of it.

 

“Yah! Yuri what’s taking y…hmph!”

 

Jessica didn’t get to finish her words when Yuri suddenly spun her around, pushing her against the shower wall before crashing their lips together.

 

Shock was an understatement for what Jessica was feeling right at that moment, she could just feel fireworks exploding within her, Yuri’s lips against hers were indescribable.

 

Finally…

 

Jessica smiles as she hooks her arm around Yuri’s neck, pulling the latter closer, wanting to deepen the kiss if it was still physically possible at that point, she couldn’t even care less about the warm water raining over them.

 

The moment she felt Jessica responding to the kiss, Yuri’s fear of being rejected vanished, yet unsure of what to do next. Half-heartedly, she broke away from the kiss, earning a whimper of protest from Jessica.

 

Yuri couldn’t help but chuckle, before hoisting Jessica up, who let out a squeak of surprise, out of the bathroom and into their room. Placing the girl down on their bed, Yuri couldn’t help but smile seeing how Jessica blushed out of sheer shyness.

 

It would’ve been cute if it weren’t for the fact that Jessica was , that all Yuri could see was a tempting minx looking at her with anticipation.

 

Yuri began to move, acting as if she was stalking her prey. Slowly climbing up the bed before crawling towards her target, who on the other hand, was moving backwards until her back touched the headboard.

 

Crawling on top of Jessica, Yuri smirked as she slowly lean towards Jessica’s ear, whispering. “Testing my self-control wasn’t a good idea, Ms. Jung. Prepare yourself for the consequences of your actions…My dear wife.”

 

Jessica gasped, feeling Yuri’s lips moving against her neck, an unexplainable sensation ran through her veins prompting her to bite her lips to stop herself from making any sound, which was an absolute failure.

 

Accepting her fate, Jessica closed her eyes as she slowly ran her nails against Yuri’s back with her other hand laced within Yuri’s hair, pulling the girl closer.

 

Moving towards Jessica’s lips, Yuri gave her a chaste kiss.

 

“Do you have any idea how difficult it was to stop myself from you?” Yuri boldly asked before capturing Jessica’s lips for a passionate kiss.

 

“Oh…really?” Jessica mumbled against the kiss, smirking.

 

“Hmmm…”

 

“That was…the…plan after…all.” Jessica smiled victoriously.

 

Pulling away from the kiss, Yuri stares hard at Jessica. “A simple hint would’ve sufficed, you know? Either way, I was going to confess my feelings for anyway.”

 

Propping herself on her elbows, Jessica raised an eyebrow. “Oh really?”

 

“Yeah! Well…eventually.” Yuri pouts, mumbling. “I would have…”

 

“Does it matter now?”

 

“Of course it does!” Yuri protested like a kid, “I would plan a romantic way to confess my feelings for you, a grand gesture like what you always wanted like in those romantic books you read or sappy chick flick that you like to watch so much.”

 

Hearing those words, Jessica couldn’t help but giggle in absolute joy, wrapping her arms around Yuri’s neck she spoke. “Who said you can’t do that? I’m still accepting confessions you know?” she teased.

 

“I know but knowing my wife, she would’ve loved a surprise confession from her Kwon Seobang.”

 

“Flattering your wife again, I see…” Jessica playfully pinched Yuri’s nose, forgetting yesterday’s accident.

 

“Awwwwww…” Yuri’s nose flared in pain. “Sicababy, that hurts!”

 

“Oh my gawd, I’m so sorry!” Jessica gushed before pacing a kiss on Yuri’s nose. “There, all better?”

 

“Awww…” Yuri howls in pain again.

 

“It still hurts?”

 

Yuri shakes her head before playfully pointing on her pouting lips; Jessica couldn’t help but laugh before giving in, allowing them to resume their halted activity.

 

**

 

Coming out of the bathroom only clad in a towel, she smiled upon seeing the lump on the bed. Feeling mischievous in such a fine morning, she took the towel off as she walk up on the bed.

 

Looking down on the sleeping figure, she smiled before straddling her unsuspecting victim, using her like a bolster.

 

“Kwon Seobang, wake up…” Jessica whispered while leisurely running her finger around on Yuri’s shoulder.

 

“Hmmm…”

 

“Wakey…wakey…”

 

Feeling Jessica’s body weight on her, Yuri forcefully opened her eyes and be greeted by a smiling, freshly showered, not to mention still Jessica.

 

“Oh my gawd, Sica!” Yuri groans in exhaustion, yet couldn’t find it in her heart to complain, wrapping her arms around Jessica. “You’re really trying to kill me, aren’t you? How could you be up so early?”

 

Leaning on Yuri’s shoulder, Jessica giggled. “Yes, I’m trying to kill you. Now, get up and let’s have breakfast.”

 

“Later…I still want to cuddle with you.” Yuri then began to playfully sniff Jessica’s hair, making the girl giggle. “My wife smells really good.”

 

“Of course, I do. I just took a bath!” Jessica giggled.

 

“In fact, my wife smells too good.” Yuri then turned their position around, smirking as she hovers over Jessica and without any hesitation, she spoke. “I love you.”

 

Hearing those words, Jessica smiled. “I know…”

 

“Sica!” Yuri whined, the romantic atmosphere around them vanishing. “You’re supposed to say I love you, too!”

 

“I know…” Jessica teased, slowly s her arms around Yuri’s neck, pulling the whining girl closer.

 

“Sica!”

 

“I love you, too.”

 

“I know.” Yuri mumbled mimicking Jessica’s words, as she took the initiative to close the gap between them. It might not be the grand gesture that she planned but it got the job done, and that’s when she knew she could keep Jessica forever.
