Author PoV
“WHAT?!” Taeyeon jump off of the bed when Tiffany tells her what had happened earlier. The kid leader’s eyes shot open as she made her way outside the room.
Tiffany wipe her tears roughly as she sit on the couch and buried her face onto her palm. She has her phone press tight to her hear. Calling Jessica like forever but the older girl not pick up.
“God dammit, Jessi!” She almost throws her phone across the room when Yuri stops her and sat beside her while rubbing her back. Tiffany groans in frustration and stood up immediately. Taeyeon stopped her by pull her to embrace.
“I call manager oppa already. He’ll find her.” Taeyeon bit her lips, not sure of what she has said. “Who is that guy? Did you saw his face?”
Tiffany shook her head. “It was dark Tae and I’m panic! I have to go back. I have to find her!” Tiffany pull back as she run towards the front door.
“I’ll go with her.” Sooyoung followed her behind while she put the night coat onto her body. Wrap it tightly.
“Me too. I’m not goona stay here. Sunny, take care of the girls. Call police if needed.”
Sunny nodded when Taeyeon shut the door close and ran to catch up the other two girls.

“Don’t touch me!”
I slapped his hand as I took steps backwards. Taecyeon has that jerky look on his face as he licks his lips every 5 seconds. I gulped, sweat flowing down my face. He grabbed my wrist, pull me closer to him, but I try my best to struggle. He was just too strong for a girl like me.
He chuckle. “Are you afraid, Sica?” Caress my face with the back of his hand. I jerked it away but he grabs my face instead. He pull me even closer, his hand on my neck, I’m just inch away from his face.
I’m about to scream for help when my knee - with a very good reflect - kick him hard on his crotch. Taecyeon groan in pain with his hands on his crotch. I walked backwards before I turn around and run away from him.
“B!tch.”
I look over my shoulder and saw him running behind me, his face full of anger. I run as fast as my feet can bring me but it looks like I’m not fast enough. He grabbed my wrist, turned me around and slaps me hard on the face. Twice. Blood stream down from my ripped mouth. I close my eyes from the pain and groaned. He has his hand gripped on my collar and stood me up. When he about doing something, I heard someone shouted my name. I looked over his shoulder and saw manager oppa and couple of cops run toward my direction. Taecyeon loosen his grip and he ran away.
Not paying so much attention to the stupid coward who was just slapped me hard, I sat down onto the bench while manager oppa kneeled in front of me as he take a look of my mouth. He hissed. The cops still run after Taecyeon in hope they can found him. But Taecyeon is a good runner. I mean he is good at run away.
Manager oppa wipe the blood with tissue he brought. Hissed in pain, I grab the tissue on his grip and wipe the blood away by myself slowly. Seems like the ripped is a little too serious and manager oppa told me that it has to be sew or else it would be worse. I had the tissue press tight onto my mouth when I heard someone shouted my name (again), but this time it is a girl.
“Jessi!” Tiffany stepped out from the taxi cab and studied my face before she notice the now reddened tissue on my mouth. She frowns, sad look on her face. “Oh my god… What happen? Who did this to you?”
The pain on my mouth not letting me to speak even just a little, when I open it to answer Tiffany’s question, it feels like the ripped even worse. I hissed.
“What the hell?! Sica, it’s bleeding! Who did this to you?! imma kick his ass!!” Taeyeon grabbed Sooyoung’s by the wrist before the angry taller girl doing something stupid.
The kid leader cuddled me in to the white hospital van and sat me onto the small bed inside. A doctor and a nurse soon take care of me right after Tiffany sat beside me and held my hands tight.

“It was Taecyeon.”
I looked up at Sunny who stood near the kitchen with her arms crossed. “Sorry?”
The petite girl sigh and flick her hair after that. “I know it Jessica. It was Taecyeon who did that to you.” she pointed the stitching on my mouth which is wrapped by the small bandage. I stay silent. “Look, it doesn’t matter if you want save Tiffany’s innocent life by pulling her off of him, but it doesn’t mean that you have to risk your own life and facing it by yourself. Why don’t you let us help you?”
No answer coming from my mouth but I lowered my head instead. Sunny huffed tiredly and sat in front of me in the cold floor. She held my hand and pout. “You can’t stand this alone. He’ll be make you even suffer then this. I can’t take it, Sica. Taeyeon couldn’t take it too, Sooyoung, Yuri, Yoona, Hyoyeon, Seohyun.” She paused for a while. “Tiffany. All of us. If you don’t want the rest of the girls knows this, at least let one or two of us knows. It would be easier that way.”
“But… I don’t want to-“
“Risk our life? Sica, we live like a family. We risk each other’s life like every day.” Sunny chuckled a little before she caresses my face. “We love you and we don’t want to see you suffering by his stupid threat. Think about it. And go to sleep.” She smile and cupped my forehead before she left me alone in the living room alone in the night.

“Who the hell did this to you, unnie?? Look at it! you look like a street kids with that scar on your mouth!”
I slapped Krystal’s arm and pinch her thigh. I’m now at the waiting room with Krystal alone waiting for my member to done from filming. I’m waiting for her actually. Manager oppa won’t let me appear on the tv show with this ugly scar on my mouth. He said it’ll be causing huge news of me involving a fight with some stranger. Some of the media knows it already, so why would he worried so much?
“Ouch! That’s hurt!”
I rolled my eyes and pout. “It’s not funny, Krys.”
The younger girl wrap her arms around my waist and rest her chin on my shoulder and kiss my cheek. “If mom knows this, she will be so freaking out.”
I let out a heavy sigh and patted my sister’s head. “I know. Don’t let her know about this. And dad too.”
“Why did this happening? I mean, you looks like don’t have anybody hated you so much to slapped you hard like that. Did you keep something I don’t know?”
“I…”
The door burst open and Tiffany walks in with pout on her face. Krystal looked at me confused before she pulled off her arms and exited the room when she smells something silly will happen. I stood up and Tiffany hide behind my back while hugged me from behind. I look at her over my shoulder.
“What’s wrong?”
“Sooyoung and Yoona try to put cockroach inside of my blouse.”
I shot glare to the two of the tall girl in front of me while the short haired tall girl give Yoona the fake cockroach as soon as she notice me. The younger girl’s mouth agape and hide the fake bug behind her back as she smile awkwardly to me.
“Yoong?”
“Yes unnie?”
I lifted my eyebrow.
“It… was… it was Sooyoung unnie’s idea!” she give the face cockroach to Sooyoung and hiding behind Yuri’s back right after the thin girl entered the room.
“Whoa whoa whoa what’s with the hide?”
I crossed my arms and tilled my head as I lifted my eyebrows to Sooyoung. “Sooyoung?”
The giant slaps Yoona’s arm and she got a perfect slap from Yuri on the head. “YAH!”
Once a mood booster forever a mood booster. I pick up the phone call and stepped out from the room which make Tiffany looks at me with questioning yet worried face because she notice frown on my face when I’m about to pick it up. I bit my lower lip, not utter any word when I press the green button on my phone.
“How is it?” I keep silent. Taecyeon let out a chuckle. “You want another scar on your pretty face?”
“What do you want?” I ask him sharply.
“I want her. Isn’t it obvious enough for you?”
I take a glance at Tiffany who still keeps her eyes on me. I smile a little, making sure that everything is gonna be okay when the truth is not.
“Just leave her alone, Taec. She is not loves you anymore.”
“Oh really? You think so?” He laugh so hard and make me wondered which one of my word that seems so funny. “I can make her mine again. Like… fully mine. I told you she’s a fools, she can’t even smell anything bad from me even though she knew it already.”
I gritted my teeth, fingers turn into a fist. He has enough for it. Tiffany is not a fool. “Enough, Taec.” I hissed.
“uh-oh~ Jessica Jung is mad~~” He said melodically sickeningly.
“Shut up.” I close my eyes. I can feel my nails dig deep into my palm when I heard him laugh again. “I warn you.” I said try to hold on the yell. “Don’t dare you get in touch with her anymore.”
“Or~?”
“I’m not kidding! Don’t make fun of me you stupid, Jerk!” I can feel my body trembling by the anger.
He scoffed. “Look, no matter what, no matter how, I will make her mine again. She.Is.Mine.Only.Mine. you got it, Princess?”
“I’m not gonna let her go.”
“Let’s see how far you could handle this. Or… how far she could live without me.”
He ended the phone line as I froze by his last sentence. I look at Tiffany; worried, afraid of the image of losing her again. She looks at me worriedly and made her way towards me. She stood in front of me and cupped my face. I still had my head lower, heart thumping of fear.
“Jessi, what’s wrong?”
Don’t bother to look at her, I close my eyes tight and hold one of her hand on my face. I shook my head instead of questioning her with something she couldn’t answer. I don’t wanna know what it would be or whom who will she choose between me and Taecyeon.
Will you choose me over him? Do you still loving him? Did you love me like you loved him? What am I to you?
Again, he makes me thinking what I refuse to think. I can’t hold on my tears anymore, just thinking about it makes my heart hurt. If Taecyeon tried to get Tiffany again and make her him, I believe he can do it right and left me bleed my life’s out of my poor heart and soul.
“Oh my god, Jessi… What’s wrong?” She hugs me tight onto her chest; I can hear her heart thumping beautifully against her flesh. She kissed me on the top of my head as I continue crying.
The rest of the girls gather around us as soon as they notice that I’m crying. No one’s know what had happened to me but I see Sunny’s knowing look on me as she hug me before the other girls does the same thing.
I have nothing to do to change her heart. I love her, but seems like her love wasn’t mine.
