Worthy Sacrifice chapter 15 FINAL CHAPTER
CHAPTER 15
FINAL CHAPTER
Thunder barked on the dark morning sky, white cotton clouds lined with color gray and it brought rustling water on the ground as it was ready to pour rain in no time. Wind blew swiftly from left to right and vice versa, bringing leaves dance along with a wild movement. The sky roared for the nth time this morning and the cold wild wind made it look worse. The news said that there will be a storm today, not really sure when but it looked like it’s gonna happened in an hour or so.
Taecyeon looked up and frowned as he lowered his hat so now it’s covering most of his face. He didn’t shiver nor felt cold by the wild wind that blew nonstop. He stood there beside his car, on the almost empty road, wearing only his thin tee and torn jeans. He looked around only to find a middle aged woman carrying her child on her arm, coving the little kid from the wind. He chuckled and lowered his head. He can give Tiffany a very normal life if she chose him over Jessica, he thought so.
He glanced at his wrist watch before he looked at his back and sat on the pavement as if waiting for something to come. He crossed his leg and put his hands atop of his knee, clapping them together and seeking warmth from it. His lips slowly made its way to a smirk as he talked to his self.
“I can’t wait for the show time,”
And he chuckled.
***
Jessica covered Tiffany’s ears with both hands when the thunder roared in madness. The rain was finally touching the earth with the first raindrop on Jessica’s head. Manager oppa handed the umbrellas as soon as Jessica told him it was raining. They got into the studio with wet shoes and shivering bodies. Taeyeon told them to stay as she and manager oppa went out to the café besides the building to order cups of hot chocolate.
They had a meeting with the new composer and choreographer for their new album and Jessica had no idea why they still wanted it going now in the nasty weather like this. Come on, it’s gonna be a storm, not just a rain as usual.
“It’s really cold here,” Tiffany said in a whisper, clinging onto Jessica even more.
Jessica watched as her girlfriend, Tiffany, closed her eyes and buried her face on her shoulder before she sneaked her freezing hands to the inside of Jessica’s clothes. The older girl gasped by the cold and wrapped Tiffany onto a warm hug as a habit. Yoona covered their bodies with a blanket and pretended she was hugging her unnies when the truth was that she was whispering to them.
“People might see us,”
And she smiled when Tiffany pouted and uttered an apology with a childish look.
Thunder rang again, most of the girls yelp in surprised when Sunny jumped onto Seohyun with hands covering her ears. The maknae placed her arm over her unnie’s head and the other on her waist. Tiffany looked up with puppy eyes towards the older girl -- who’s now looking at her in an ‘I didn’t like the weather’ way. Jessica smiled and pecked Tiffany’s nose in amusement.
“You know, when I said don’t pout with those puppy eyes means that I don’t want to kiss you in public and let them know about us,”
Tiffany didn’t bother to stop pouting and snuggled closer to Jessica’s warm and welcoming body. The younger girl pulled her girlfriend closer to her and pushed her until she leaned onto the wall. Jessica tilted her head and looked down to a still pouting Tiffany. She caressed Tiffany’s face lovingly.
“What is it, Honey?”
“I just feel bad,” Tiffany mumbled.
“About what..?”
“I don’t know,” She shook her head and tightened her hug on Jessica.
“Baby, I can’t breathe,”
“Don’t go anywhere,"
Jessica looked at her questioningly and worry started to eat her.
“Why would I? You know I won’t do that even if you ask me,” She kissed her girlfriend’s forehead. The pout on Tiffany’s face was gone but was replaced with a frown. “Tiff, seriously, you scared me. What’s wrong? Are you okay? Did something happen?”
Tiffany sighed heavily and closed her eyes as she rested her chin on Jessica’s shoulder. The older girl rubbed her back with her hands still holding the blanket for both of them.
“No, nothing’s happened. I just… I don’t know, I just have this bad feeling… that’s all,”
Jessica pulled away softly and stared onto the eyes of her lover and got lost on it as she talked softly and calmly to Tiffany. The smile on her face was simple, but Tiffany found it hard to breathe and fall in love with Jessica even more.
“I love you and I have no reason to leave you,”
***
The rain is heavy, the wind is no joke. The street is empty, no one were there except their cars parked on the outside building. No one but Taecyeon is still there, outside the building, inside his black sedan, waiting for something to happen.
He put one hand on the steering wheel while the other one rested on the window, teeth biting his nails in anxiousness. The car engine was still on -- he didn’t turn it off, not even for a second. A smirk never left his face at the time he got into his car.
He sat, relaxed, on the seat until he saw Taeyeon exiting the SM building with her manger oppa tailing beside her, one umbrella over their heads before they entered the café not far from there. Taecyeon chuckled with no reason and waited a little more.
“Patience. Patience is needed to get what we wanted,” He said to his self.
***
Taeyeon sighed. This will be a long wait. She didn’t know if the café will be full of customer like this, besides, it’s gonna be a storm anytime soon but it looked like people inside the café chose to be here instead inside their offices. She rolled her eyes as she sat on one of the table near the window; what a good trick, she thought. It’s a lunch break and people here would make an excuse that they got trapped on the café so they’ll just sat here doing nothing but cozying. Taeyeon huffed.
“People these days,” she mumbled.
Manager oppa chuckled at the girl in front of him.
“It’s okay Taeyeon-ah, they have more than 5 waiters at least,”
“4 of them are still on lunch break,” Taeyeon pouted, “There are only 3 waiters working now, and talking about waiters,” Taeyeon pointed at the long line. “Tell me if they can finish serving these people fast,”
Manager oppa laughed at the bored kid leader and patted her arm.
“Are you on your period, Taeng?”
Taeyeon just rolled her eyes and stared at the outside window again. There, she saw a long line of parked cars and tilted her head when she swear one of those car dimmed its light to her direction. She raised her eyebrows.
“Is there someone inside that black sedan, oppa?”
Manager oppa turned around to look at where Taeyeon pointed her chin.
“I don’t think so, the weather is scary enough for someone to go outside, why is it?”
Taeyeon shook her head. “I think it dimmed its light at me,”
***
The storm was finally pouring every inch of Seoul city. Everybody locked their self inside. But it had been one hour already and Taeyeon together with Manager oppa had not comeback yet from the café. Sooyoung said maybe they can’t come back because the storm outside was getting heavier by the second. Sunny tried to call her girlfriend or manager oppa but to no avail, she can’t reach them with the bad signal.
Manager unnie said they should go and start the meeting without Taeyeon and manager oppa and told them everything latter. And there they are, at the meeting room, sitting like good girls; paying all attention to the American composer talking about this new album.
Sunny can’t stop glancing at her phone every 5 seconds and barely paying attention to everything this American composer said. Tiffany felt worried about Taeyeon and manager oppa too but not as worried as Sunny of course. She nudged Jessica on the ribs and when the older girl looked at her, she signaled her with her chin towards Sunny’s direction. Jessica looked at her left side, Sunny biting her lower lip.
“Everything is fine, Sunny?” She whispered. Sunny just nodded. She looked back at Tiffany and shrugged.
“So, girls, what do you think? I need your leader to be here so I can hear her opinion. Also, I need your other manager too here,”
“They haven’t come back yet. Let me go and check them,”
“Unnie, let me do that,” Jessica said when manager unnie was about to leave her seat.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I need to go to the bathroom anyway,”
“Oh, okay,” she sat again. “Be careful, Sica. Don’t go outside the building,”
Jessica nodded and stood up but stopped in midair when Tiffany squeezed her hands, she looked down and smile.
“I’ll be back,”
***
Jessica looked at her reflection in the mirror as she fixed her bangs and went outside the bathroom after she washed her hands. She pulled her phone out her jeans pocket and called Taeyeon’s number. For her luck, it’s finally reached the other girl.
“Ne?” Taeyeon said in the other line.
“Taeyeon-ah~ where are you? The meeting is starting already,”
“Ah mianhae, Sica. I can’t go ou-de th- c-fe, the str-m is no -ke,”
“Ne? Tae, I can’t hear you, the signal is-“ Jessica rose her eyebrows when the phone line suddenly wend dead. “Ish!”
She put her phone onto her pocket again and walked alone in the corridor to the front glass door. She bowed to some people she passed by and stopped in front of the door. She bit her lip. It’s raining so hard out there and there’s no way she can go outside. She would be soaked and manager unnie said she can’t go outside. But they need Taeyeon and manager oppa to start the meeting again and it looked like going outside the building was the only way to get Taeyeon and manager oppa back.
She greeted the security and asked him if he has an umbrella so she can borrow it and go outside to the café. She’s lucky again when he nodded and handed her the umbrella. She bowed to him after she made sure the worried security finally agreed that she can go by herself and didn’t need his help. The security finally let her go by herself and opened the door for her after she opened the umbrella first.
“Oh my gosh,” she yelped when the heavy wind and rain drops hit her at the first step she took. “Geez the wind~!”
***
He was there, smirking, even laughing evilly when he straightened his sit once more. Someone he had been waiting for was finally out, fighting with the storm with an umbrella. He knew his the wait he did was worth it. He pulled his hat down his face until it’s only showed half of his face. He turned the steering wheel so his car was now on the road, driving slowly, waiting for the right timing before he change the speed. Wiper of his car’s worked hard on the front window; wiping every drops of rain that hit it.
It was when the person he had waited stumbled down, the umbrella flew away onto the road and she ran to the road to get it back. Taecyeon pushed the throttle to its maximum, drove it fast to his target. His eyes flashed a fire of winning and his smirk grew more evident on his face.
The car hit a body.
The last thing he saw before he drove away with full speed was Jessica’s shocked face.
Taecyeon laughed.

Jessica PoV
It was bright as I can still see the car’s light when I closed my eyes shut. I’m on the ground - I can feel the hard asphalt under my body. I can’t open my eyes, every time I tried to open it, my head feels like spinning. I don’t know if there’s blood coming out from my head or not because at the time I touch it, it was wet, I have no idea either if it was blood or the rain.
I groaned weakly when I tried my best to move my arms and legs and body. I can’t. I can’t even move my fingers or my toes or better yet, my whole body. I can’t shift my position. I feel horrible, I’m scared;
Am I still alive?
I heard the thunder roaring for the nth time, I can hear the raindrops on the asphalt, but I can’t hear my heartbeat, I can’t hear anything but feel the pain. It was painful until I can barely feel the rain drops pouring onto my skin. Even the footsteps that rushed onto my direction, I just heard it faintly.
“…My Gosh! … AMBULANCE!! …Hear me? …Jessica…”
Who was it? I think I ever know that voice. An angel?
“…The others! NOW! …Taeyeon wait!”
“……….DYING OPPA! ………………………JESSICA OPEN YOUR EYES!”
Oh, it was Taeyeon, our leader. Her voice trembled, her hands touched my skin, her fingertips traced my face. It was a warm rain drop that dropped onto my face, no, it was not a rain drop, it was Taeyeon’s tear. She was crying? What happened with me? Did I look that bad? Taeyeon is never really a crybaby. I want to answer her that I’m okay but I can’t open my mouth, I can’t open my eyes, I can’t move my body.
Tae, stop crying, you frighten me.
But she didn’t stop. Frightened wash my skin and my body felt so cold.
Arms wrapped around my body. I wanted to groan when I heard my bones cracking on the inside of my brain, my arms and legs were not like on its place anymore. They pulled me up from the ground to somewhere with no rain drops, no wind, but warm enough. I hear footsteps, panic voices, Taeyeon’s sobs on my right ear and - I think it was manager oppa - whispered that I’ll be okay on my left, siren, yes, it was siren and I feel more than afraid now.
Those arms put me down again - but now on to the soft mattress, hands checking me up, wipes - maybe blood - on my face, head, and everywhere on my body. Geez, what happened? How did I look now? Why Taeyeon can’t stop crying? Wh-
“JESSI!!”
Tiffany…?
“……….NO! …………PLEASE!! …………JESS-……….”
Tiffany?
“……………….JESSI WAKE UP…………………. LET ME GO!!”
“……………………………………………………….....”
“…………………………………………………………..”
“…………………………………”
“………………..”
“……….”
….god, save me….

“Broken ribs, arm, and leg. She’s stable but still shocked. Let her sleep for a while and you can go inside her room,”
Everybody - except - Tiffany sighed in relieve. She thought having broken ribs, arm, and leg aren’t really fine. Tiffany kept on biting her thumb while looking through the window of Jessica’s room. She covered her mouth sometime to muffle her sobs and Yuri kept herself beside her while Taeyeon went somewhere with manager oppa to take care of things.
Yuri stayed with her when the other girls had gone home to rest after the doctor said that Jessica would okay and would wake up in no time. Tiffany can’t - or never wanted - to leave the hospital even in mere second. She wanted to be there with Jessica.
“Fany-ah, come here,” Yuri tapped the empty chair beside her but the other girl shook her head without looking at her. Her attention glued on the sleeping girl inside the room as she looked over the window.
Yuri sighed and stood up, back hugging the brown haired girl. “She’ll be alright, Fany-ah. The doctor said she’ll be up in no time. Why don’t you eat something and I’ll take a look at her while you’re eating?”
“No,” she said faintly, Yuri barely heard her.
“Fany-ah~”
“It was my fault to let her go outside the room to take a look at Taengoo and manager oppa. Now I won’t leave her. I’m not hungry anyway,” Tiffany continued while sighing.
“But Jessica surely doesn’t want you to get sick when she wakes up,” She stopped before continuing to speak in a whisper. “She’ll be mad at youuu~~~”
Tiffany looked at the girl behind her and heaved a sigh. Yuri smirked.
“Fine,” she finally said. “Call me if anything happens,”
The younger girl beamed and bowed after that. She hushed the older girl before taking Tiffany’s place and leaned against the door frame. Yuri frowned. The image of Jessica like this was breaking her heart too. Whoever it was, she’ll loathe and despise the person who hit Jessica for life.
***
“It was you!! Damn it!! Why- what- how- ARGH!!”
“Now I win. I know. I can finally have her~~”
Junsu glared at Taecyeon who’s now sit on the couch with a smile on his lips. Taecyeon, was the one who hit Jessica. And he… has a heart to do it…? To someone who is a girl and have no idea about all of this? I mean, Jessica did know about things but was loving Tiffany is a crime?
“You’re insane, Taec,” Junsu looked at him in disgust. “You’re insane and I don’t know you anymore,”
Wooyoung and Junho stood not far from there, watching the two of them argue. Both of them looked at Taecyeon in disbelief, even Junho balled his fist by Taecyeon’s weird act.
Taecyeon just laughed like a crazy. He leaned against the couch with his arms spread and his eyes closed. The three other boys gritted their teeth. Wooyoung took out his phone and called someone from their management, telling them that Taecyeon was here at the dorm and told them to bring the police along. Junho stood in front of the insane boy. He can’t take it anymore.
“I hate you, Hyung. For the first time, I really really hate you,”
Taecyeon looked at him slightly before standing and drinking the glass of water on the table.
“I don’t care. I know all of you are. Hate me then, I don’t care anymore,”
Junho nodded.
“I’ll beg the management to kick you out,”
“and send you to jail,” Junsu continued.
Taecyeon eyed him with a blank stare.
“I’m not kidding around now,”
***
“I knew it!!! It was that jerk!!!” Sooyoung stood up from her seat and hit the nearby wall when Wooyoung called her and told her everything. “Thanks oppa. Of course! We’ll tell the police immediately!”
Sooyoung tucked her phone to her jeans and grabbed her hand bag and coat. She turned around when she was about to walk away.
“I need some of you accompany me and some other to stay here at the dorm just in case someone comes. Who’s with me?”
“I’ll go,” Yoona stood up but Sunny stopped her.
“You have morning schedule tomorrow. Let me and Seohyun go and Hyoyeon will stay here with you,” Hyoyeon opened her mouth, about to protest. “Yoona needs something to eat,” and Hyoyeon shut her mouth with a pout.
“Let’s go. Maknae, grab your belongings,”
***
Tiffany was eating half heartedly at the cafeteria when her phone vibrated.
Yuri…
She picked up the call immediately at the second ring.
“Yuri?”
“It was Taecyeon,” a paus. Tiffany held her breath. “Who hit Jessica,”
Tiffany froze on her spot, her stare fixed onto the plate on the table and she barely heard Yuri calling her name on the other line until her yell snapped the older girl.
“Sooyoung, Sunny, and Maknae are on their way to the police office and Taeyeon and manager oppa are on their way too. Don’t worry, just stay here and let them make everything clear,”
“I need to go,”
“W-what?”
“I need to go. Stay here for me, okay? Watch over Jessica, please?”
“O-okay,”
***
“He is being locked by Junsu Hyung on his room. You better go fast before he escapes,”
The police officers nodded their heads. 2pm’s manager walked side by side with the chief while talking seriously. Nichkhun, Chansung, and Wooyoung just sat there on the couch staring at nothing but disaster. Junsu lead the police to Taecyeon’s room and Wooyoung was waiting with someone on the front door.
They opened the door with a slam. The room was dark but they still noticed a glimpse of shadow of someone standing in front of the window with both hands up. The body trembled by the laughter before the police officers grabbed the hands and handcuffed it. Taecyeon turned around with a cool face.
“Oh well, they found me,” He said.
“Mr. Ok, you’re under arrest,”
Taecyeon laughed.
***
Day by day has passed. Taecyeon imposed a sentence of two years in prison. 2pm management said the boys will take a hiatus for awhile until the pressure that disperses. Taecyeon was obviously got kicked out and not gonna be able to go back to the job that he used to loved so much because, well, he was already on a blacklist of every management. Their fans were disappointed. They didn’t know that Taecyeon would do such thing in the first place. They have no idea, nor the other people.
The girls finally can live their life with no disturbance. Living their life like they always did, peaceful. No more fights, no more yells, no more cries or sobs or groans or anything that leads to frustration. All were just at their normal place again, neat, perfect, and… fit. All of them, together, once more.
“Open your mouth… aaaa~~”
“Nyam nyam!”
It was another day of them - Jessica and Tiffany - in the hospital room. Tiffany fed the hungry Jessica when the other girl played with her bandage. Tiffany giggled by her girlfriend’s cute act. Jessica was completely like a little kid trapped in an adult body- super childish and spoiled.
“If you keep on playing with your bandage, Jessica Jung, it will probably open and I will probably need to fix it for the umpteenth time,” Tiffany titled her head to one side as she wiped the side of Jessica’s lips.
Jessica grinned while still chewing on her food. She looked down at her bandage before looking at Tiffany again.
“It hurts,” she pouted. “Kiss!” she pointed at her bandage to Tiffany and the younger girl raised her eyebrows.
“Kiss?” Jessica nodded. “No before you kiss me first,”
Tiffany leaned closer but Jessica moved back, her face is red, as red as her tomato juice. Now it’s Tiffany turn to pout.
“Fine,”
“Fany~aaahhh~~~” Jessica whined cutely which made Tiffany wanted to pinch her cheek.
“What? Don’t whine. You don’t even want to kiss me,” She teased.
Jessica raised her other hand to the air and signaled Tiffany to come closer. Tiffany flashed her eye smile as she wrapped her hand on Jessica’s neck and kissed her plumped lips.
“Mmmmmwaaahh~! Now kiss!” Jessica pointed to her bandage. Tiffany leaned down and kissed her girlfriend’s bandaged arm.
“There,” she said. “Better?”
Jessica nodded her head happily.
“Jessica… Loves Tiffany Hwang,” she said when Tiffany was about to feed her again.
***
“Lovebirds,”
“Stupidly in love,”
“They’re absolutely look good together,”
“Like us,”
“yeah yeah,”
“I never see Sica unnie that happy before,”
“With her condition like this? yeah me too,”
“Tiffany effect,”
“It’s good to see them like this,”
“I ship JeTi,”
“Wow me too,”
“Count me in,”
“Come on girls let’s go inside,”
Minutes later, chats and laughter were reverberating inside the room 220. They can finally be happy together again, they can finally be as one without someone needing to get hurt anymore. They can finally be 9 as 1.
As one as Girls’ Generation.
***
Tiffany lied flat on her stomach, watching Jessica browsed with her iPad. The younger girl climbed on top of Jessica’s back, back hugging her with her chin on the older girl shoulder. Jessica smiled by the warmth.
“Jessi?”
“Hmm?”
“May I ask?”
“Hmm… yes?” Jessica placed her iPad on the bed and shifted her position, now facing Tiffany, her arms on the younger girl’s waist. She looked onto Tiffany’s eyes and get lost in it.
“What are you thinking of if you’re look into another girls?”
“like... Taeyeon and the others?”
“No… not them. The other i mean. Out of SNSD,”
“Oh. Mmm… That they’re not you,”
Tiffany placed her head on Jessica’s chest, listening to her heart beat.
“I’m afraid Jessi,”
“About what?”
“That there will be someone who’ll try to separate us again,” she tightened her embrace.
“No one will, Tiffany. No one. They saw enough of our love. Our bond. I promise I’ll be here forever with you no matter what because you were always there with me in hardest of times. You never leave me,” She kissed Tiffany’s head.
“Thank you,” Tiffany breathed in before she asked again.
“Will you love me forever?”
Jessica didn’t answer it immediately which made Tiffany looked at her, waiting for her answer.
“I will love you until the sun has no shine anymore, until the sky stops pouring rain, until the moon stops shining, until the lights after raining stops making rainbows, until the wind doesn’t make leaves sway. I will obviously love you until I meet you again in heaven. Always,”
Tiffany was stunned by the answer. She never thought Jessica will tell her such sweet and romantic things. She smiled in return, her eyes twinkling by the tears of happiness, of joy, of… love. She hugged her precious girlfriend once more and kissed her deeply on her lips. She thanked her, she thanked god that she has Jessica for her life. There will be no one but Jessica to spend her life with.
Jessica was worth everything. Their sacrifice worth every little thing in the end. She knew, they knew that there wouldn’t be no one who’s gonna separate them anymore. Even god knows it.
Jessica Jung is Tiffany Hwang’s,
Hwang Miyoung is Jung Sooyeon’s,
They love it like that. Both of them,
Together
Forever
