[on-going] Worthy Sacrifice - Chapter 4
“So?” Yoona nudged me playfully as I entered the van. That stupid grin of hers was still presentever since I told her about me and Tiffany yesterday. “Dating each other, uh?”
I chuckled and pushed her away from my side as my face started to blush.
After waiting for her for like forever, I can finally make her mine fully even though I know she still loves him deep inside her heart. Yoona started to giggle like mad when she saw my face as red as tomato.
“Stop teasing her, Yoong.” Taeyeon patted my head and covered my red face with both of her palm, I pouted at her. Taeyeon let out a laugh. “I forgot the last time you had blushed. When was it?” She stepped in to the van with the still giggling Yoona behind her.
Vibrate from my handbag made me jump a little. I closed the van’s door and took my phone out, one new message, so I read it.
How brave, Sica.
You don’t even care about the things I’ve been telling you.
You chose this way, you chose to play games.
So… let’s play ;)
I gulped hard when I finished reading it and rested my head on the back seat. I closed my eyes. Looks like I’m in big trouble for the rest of my life. His threat doesn’t seem like a cheap one. What should I do now? Should I tell Taeyeon about this? Tiffany? Maybe somebody from his group? Do those boys know about this? I have no idea, besides I don’t want to risk anyone’s life. This is my fault after all.
It vibrated again, so I took it and read the new message. It’s from Tiffany. I smiled lovingly at my phone, not caring so much when Yoona looked at me confusingly.
Hey sleepyhead!
I brought you lunch!
Don’t forget to eat! I made it special for you
I chuckled at her text. It’s cute. Since when did she start to cook? Tiffany’s not so good in the kitchen.
Anyhow, it’s a special lunch from my special one. I’ll eat it even it kills me.
I closed my eyes and sighed. Iwas about to sleep when suddenly my mind played a scene I really wanted to avoid. This scene has been on my mind for the past few days, from when Taecyeon told me that threat. I kept on cogitating about it, the good side and the very bad side. There’s no good side to be honest, the bad side is everywhere in my head. What will he did to us?
I’m scared, really scared about all the bad possibilities. It’s okay if it’s just me, I’ll do whatever it takesto keep Tiffany safe. I don’t really care about. He can do whatever he wants with me as long as he keeps This eyes away from Tiffany. I would offer him my life just as long as he doesn’t touch Tiffany. But he is not a good man. He wouldn’t listen to my offer.
“God, please help me.” I whispered to myself.
***
I threw my hand bag to the side as I collapsed on my bed. I yawned deeply and stretched my body before I sighed tiredly. Another busy day for thisweary mind of mine, what else? I’m tired mentally and physically. And for bonus, Taecyeon kept on send me a bunch of texts the whole day. There’s nothing more beautiful than that. Oh great.
I turned to my side; the package from yesterday was still on its spot, on the bed. I grabbed it and sat up slowly, I shook it a little. I tore the wrap and open it as soon as the wrap was everywhere on my bed. Curious, I brought my face near it.
“AAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
***
Hyoyeon took one of the cucumbers from the box and gave it to Sooyoung. They both shrugged at the same time and put it back before Hyoyeon gave the box to Taeyeon. The short haired girl closed the box and looked at me in the eyes. I rolled my eyes.
“Sica.”
“Yes?”
“That was just-“
“Cucumbers, I know.”
Taeyeon sighed and stood up. She patted my head and I also sighed. Just for her info, fans whose sends me cucumbers before never freak me out like this. Those cucumbers wasn’t from fans nor Krystal’s stupid joke. I sensed something different. Not from the cucumbers of course, but from the box, it looks pretty normal with its brown cover and white tape. But my present normal life like this is not the same normal lifeI had a couple of weeks ago (if you understand what I mean).
“It was just…” I looked at my side, looked at Taeyeon’s cute brown eyes. “It’s just… different.”
She lifted her eyebrow a little. “Which part? The box? It’s pretty just for some cucumbers.”
That’s the problem. The box was too pretty. It’s not from fans, it’s from him. He started his game.
“Forget it. Maybe it was just me.”
She smiled. “Yea, don’t worry about that. I’m gonna tell Seohyun to put it on the trash bin.”
I nodded my head as I walked towards my room. I grabbed my handbag and the car keys that manager oppa left days ago. I looked down to my watch it’s 9.15pm already and Tiffany wasn’t home yet so I decided to pick her up. I shut my room door and made my way to the front door.
“I’m gonna pick Tiffany up. Call me if there’s something important.”
With that, I left the dorm room and headed to the parking lot. I got in, and drove the car out of the building.
***
I smiled at the security from the building where Tiffany spent her last schedule for today and parked the car near the white van we used to ride.
I walked up to the 4th floor where Tiffany was. She doesn’t know that I was here to pick her up. This will be a surprise for her. I smiled at my own thoughts as I made me way up the stairs.This should kill 10 minutes before Tiffany ends her shoot. I reached the 4th floor and bowed to the people that greeted me as I walked through the busy hallway.
“Oh, Jessica-sshi.”
I turned around and found Wooyoung waving his hand. He walked up to me and scratched his head as he bowed. I bowed back.
“Yes?” I said, waiting for him to say something after 5 seconds of awkward silence.
“Uh… I was just-“ He stopped, he seemed to want to say something but didn’t know where and how to start.
“You are…?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Do you already op-“
“Yah, Wooyoung!”
I turned around and saw Taecyeon walkingin my direction. He is here too?? I looked at Wooyoung again and he had his head lowered like a child who just got slapped by his father. Taecyeon smirked at me and scoffed. He grabbedWooyoung by the collar and slapped his head.
“What do you think you’re doing, Woo?” The blonde guy kept his mum. Taecyeon looked down at me. “Your day is good, Sica?”
“Way too good, Taec.”
He chuckled and grabWooyoung’s hand before leaving me there. “Enjoy your day while you still haveit.” He waved.
“I will! Thanks.” I waved back, smiledsarcastically which made him growl a little.
I continued walking, now towards the waiting room. I knocked on the door twice, the PD and staff bowed at me respectfully and I stepped in. I lookedaround to find Tiffany but she was nowhere to be found.
“Sorry, where is Tiffany? I thought she was done with her schedule already.”
“Tiffany is in the toilet I guess. You can wait here, her belongings are still here.” One of the staff pointed at Tiffany’s handbag.
I was about to walk to the small couch when out of nowhere arms slipped through my waist and warm breaths hit my neck. Shivers ran up and down my spine when I felt soft lips kiss the sensitive spot on my neck, I held hands on my waist and turned around, facing the beautiful girl with brown hair and eye-smile. I smiled at her and caressed her face with the back of my fingers.
“Hi.” I said. Tiffany let out a chuckle and pecked my lips. I blushed.
“What are you doing here, Jessi?”
I looked at her, and pouted. It was not a romantic question at all. “Pick you up, and bring you home. What else?”
She flashed her eye-smile again when she patted my head and fixed my pony tail. Tiffany let go of the hug, grabbed her belongings and left the room after bowing to the staffs. We walked hand in hand towards the parking lot and I opened the car’s door for her. She blushed a little bit.
“Since when did you have a car?”
I chuckled as I drove the car out of the building. “It’s manager oppa’s. I’m gonna send it back tonight.”
Tiffany nodded her head and leaned against the back seat. Yawned a little and exhaled deeply. I looked at her slightly before turning my attention back to the road. I caressed her face.
“Get some sleep I’ll wake you when we get there.”
She nodded again and grabbed my free hand. She held it with both of her hands as she fell deep into slumber.
***
I pressed the doorbell,checking once in a while over my shoulder to the car where Tiffany was sleeping. It was 12.30am already; it was late and not good to be out of dorm at this time. Pressed the bell like mad and stopped when I heard manager oppa shout in annoyance from inside the house. I giggled.
“Oh, Jessica.” He said as he opened the door. I stuck my hand and gave him the car keys. “So late at night?that’s not good. You have morning schedule for tomorrow.” He looked over my shoulder. “Is that Tiffany?”
“Mhm.” I nodded. “Where were you? You were supposed to pick her up at 9. Are you sick?”
“Yeah, I’m not feeling too well.” He rubbed the back of his neck. I smiled at him. “Let me call a taxi for you two. Wait a second.”
I nodded and made my way to the car. Tiffany stretched her body a little when I rested my arm at the door frame and watched her sleep. She looked so cute. I looked around at the almost empty road in front of me while the cool night breeze made me shiver slightly. There was something vibrating on my jeans pocket and it stopped when I about to pick up the call. I put it back to its previous place.
“Jessica-ah, I can’t find any of the taxi’s phone number. I must’ve put it somewhere else.”
I turned a little. Manager oppa looked so frustrated. “It’s okay, oppa. Our dorm is not that far from here anyway. We’re gonna have a night walk then.”
“Are you sure? It’s so late already. Let me drive you.”
“No no no. It’s okay. Just rest, I’m not going to wake up tomorrow if you don’t get well soon.”
“O-okay… Be careful.” He walked back inside his home and waved at me before closing the door.
I looked at Tiffany and giggled a bit. I opened the car’s door and shook her body gently.
Tiffany moaned and yawned as she stretched her body. She rubbed her eyes cutely and looked at me as she tugged her hands with a pout on her lips. I chuckled and bent over to her. I let her link her arms around my neck, helping her stand up.
Tiffany looked around before turning her attention back at me and flashed her eye-smile. I was going crazy, when she was just looking around again. I blushed as a smile tugged on the corner of my lips. I bit my lower lip, Tiffany’s arms still around my neck and her body pressed tightly against mine.
“What is it?” I asked her as I kissed her cheek.
She looked at me again. “Why did you wake me up? Where’s the taxi?”
“Taxi?” She nodded. “We’re not going home in a taxi.”
Tiffany scoffed, and then said, “Seriously? I not gonna walk home in the middle of the night.”
I shrugged as I pushed her arms gently and started walking down the street. Tiffany still on her spot,did not move a bit. Realizing that I was serious, she started to run, and catch up to me. She linked her arms around my left one. I took a glance at the pouting brown haired girl. I peck her lips as I cuddle her up, and pulled her closer to me.
I pulled out my cell phone from my pocket which was vibrating like mad. 1 new text message, from him and it suddenly sent me goose bumps. I read the text:
Oh my,
two girls walking down the street.
What should I do to ‘em? They look so tasty.
I gulped hard, my hands were trembling and I was sweating. Thank god, Tiffany didn’t notice. I pulled her closer to me.
“Don’t- Don’t let go of your grip on me.”
She looked at me, confused and afraid at the same time as she looked around frightened. “W-What’s wrong?”
I stop walking. Someone was following us. I looked over my shoulder, and found nothing but cold air. Tiffany’s grip tightened and she whined a little. Right when I was about to call Taeyeon and ask someone from the dorm to pick us up, a Taxi cab stopped and offered us a ride. I nodded and pushed Tiffany inside the taxi. Someone was standing not too far from us in the dark alley and I stop moving.
“Jessi, what’s wrong? You’re freaking me out. Come on! Get in already!”
I looked at her and closed the door.I told the taxi driver to drive her to the dorm. Tiffany hit the window like mad, tears flowing down her face as she tried to open the door and mouthed a ‘get-the-f*ck-in!! NOW!’ I just smiled at her and waved as the taxi drove away.
I felt someone’s warm breath at the back of my neck. I gulped so freaking hard, my palms into fists and turned around slowly.
“Wanna spend the night with me, sweetie?”
TBC
I chuckled and pushed her away from my side as my face started to blush.
After waiting for her for like forever, I can finally make her mine fully even though I know she still loves him deep inside her heart. Yoona started to giggle like mad when she saw my face as red as tomato.
“Stop teasing her, Yoong.” Taeyeon patted my head and covered my red face with both of her palm, I pouted at her. Taeyeon let out a laugh. “I forgot the last time you had blushed. When was it?” She stepped in to the van with the still giggling Yoona behind her.
Vibrate from my handbag made me jump a little. I closed the van’s door and took my phone out, one new message, so I read it.
