Bangs
There are some good points to having bangs. One is that it can make you look more stylish than any other hairstyle would. Another is that you don’t have to push it back when it is covering your eyes because it’s too short.
But a bad point is that it could poke you in the eye depending on the length.
Jessica sucks in a breath and blows upwards at her bangs, irritated by the length of it. It’s at the stage now where it’s a bit too long and finds its way into her eyes. She wants to trim it, but her stylist had prohibited it, saying that none of the girls were allowed to change their hairstyles until their Korean comeback, even if it were something trivial as a trim. These days, Jessica preferred pinning her bangs back, forehead allowed space to breathe. But today, the girls and she were at a photo shoot for a Japanese magazine.
Which meant she had no choice in the matter of how her hair was styled today.
Which meant said bangs were bothering her right this moment.
Still blowing air up at her bangs, Sunny who is seated next to her, laughs at how ridiculously childish she looks right now.
“I don’t think that’s going to help much.”
Jessica frowns, pouting at Sunny.
“They’re so annoying right now. Not to flaunt or anything, but you would think that after all our success, we would have some say in the matters of our own hair.”
Sunny just laughs animatedly at her.
“Come on, the others are ready.”

“Good, good, okay. That’s all for now, girls. The Q & A section will start in a few minutes along with the individual shots.”
Finished with the group shots, the girls all bow to the staff and scatter amongst themselves. Sunny, Yuri, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon head straight for the monitoring screen, curious on how the pictures turned out. Seohyun walks away, dialing a number on her cell phone. She had promised her mother she would give her a call when she had a break. Taeyeon and Yoona are being touched up by their makeup artists and stylists. Jessica stands at the refreshment table at the back of the room, sipping out of her water bottle. When she finishes, she tilts her head back down only to have her bangs meet straight with her right eye.
“Ow!”
Out of instinct, she shakes her head, flipping her bangs to its proper place, frowning at the temporary pain. A familiar chuckle from her left makes her ears redden.
“You are such a dork, Jessi.”
Tiffany stands in front of her, fingers delicately fixing her bangs. Jessica looks down, feeling a little embarrassed. Tiffany grins widely at her behavior. She continues running her fingers through Jessica’s fringe.
“So cute.”
It’s a gentle whisper and Jessica melts at Tiffany’s voice. She looks up at her, a stupid, cheesy grin accompanying her face, one that only shows up when Tiffany is around. One of the staff members taps Tiffany on the shoulder drawing her attention.
“Tiffany, you’re up first for the individual photos.”
“Okay.”
Tiffany gives a final run through of Jessica’s bangs before turning to leave with the staff member. Jessica just stands still with the same stupid, cheesy grin still on her face as her eyes follow Tiffany back to the photographer.
It’s only after Taeyeon walks by and mutters, “Whipped,” that she finally wakes up from her trance.
“I am not whipped!”
Taeyeon just lets out an ahjumma laugh.

Jessica answers the individual questions quickly, each and every one of them basically a question she has heard before. The only difference here was that her answers would be published in Japanese. She stiffens though when the inevitable question comes up.
“What kind of styles and behaviors of a man makes your heart pound?”
The staff and girls are all staring at her, anticipating the answer. Each of the girls know that Jessica has to answer very carefully or there will be a very upset Tiffany Hwang.
A little unsure of how to answer, Jessica flips her bangs to the side out of habit.
And then it hits her.
Duh.
Within a painstakingly long second, Jessica looks straight at Tiffany.
“When he suddenly touches my fringe and helps me tidy it up.”
And the same stupid, cheesy grin on her face resurfaces. Tiffany reciprocates just as big of a grin, and it makes Jessica smile even wider.
Maybe she could talk the stylist into letting her have bangs for every concept in the future.
