Seoul, is like a freezing city lately and this blonde haired girl sure like this kind of weather. Why? Let’s say winter is just like her, you know, cold. Yuri and Sooyoung - her best friends - would call her the Ice Princess, and Jessica must admit it. They said that she is like a snow flakes, She can go wherever she want, do whatever she like and most of all, she can always sleep during the class.
J University, yes, J means Jung and Jessica’s dad owned this big University. I mean... really big. It’s kind of hard to be accepted into J University since it has a great rate and a great student. Believe it or not, but Jessica the Ice Princess is one of those brilliant student. She maybe slept during the class but she never missed the lesson, why? Well, no one knew except her and god.
She stood there, in front of the dance class waiting for Yuri to go home together like usual. Her friend, Yuri is the great dancer that J University ever has. Jessica smile when the tanned girl waving her hand at her. She picked up her hand bag and hold on Yuri’s arm and walking into the parking lot.
“where’s Sooyoung?” ask Yuri as she bowed into the lecture, Jessica do the same.
“maybe… with Hara? Don’t know”
Yuri opened the passenger’s door for Jessica before she entered the car and ask the driver to leave. Jessica - like usual - sleep in the car when Yuri prefer to listen to the music from her iPod. She poke Jessica’s cheek before she get out of the car and thanked the driver.
Many of the students think that they are a couple, the perfect one. But no, they just a friend and Jessica knows that Yuri is falling in love with someone, a girl named Im Yoona from her dance class. She is pretty and Jessica like her, I mean, she likes Yoona because she is a good girl and Jessica likes her because she knows Yoona can be a good girlfriend for Yuri though she don’t know what the younger girl feeling for her best friend.
She step out the car and walk into her super comfortable home. As usual, no one home except her house maid, she huffed. She wanted her mom and dad would be at home and have a great time with them. She hates loneliness because it feel no one care about her, but yeah, she needed the loneliness sometimes to make her own self feel calm.
“mom and dad are not home yet?” ask Jessica to her maid as she drink a glass of water.
“not yet, miss Jung. But Krystal is in her room” her maid bowed and leave her.
“as usual” she whisper to herself.

“yah, why you eat that? That’s my last pieces!” protested Yuri when Sooyoung eat her last pieces of Kimbap.
“you not look like to eat it soon, Yuri”
“aish… this girl…”
Jessica let out a chuckle when Sooyoung ran away from Yuri who hold a thick rolled paper in her hand. Yuri bite her lower lip when Sooyoung tease her by slap her own butt.
“you are a dead girl” hissed Yuri as she run after Sooyoung.
Jessica let out a laugh and drink her last gulp of her orange juice. She picked up her hand bag and walk through the canteen when someone rush against her. She bit her lower lip as she felt pain on her shoulder. Jessica opened her mouth, planning to yell at the other girl and she close her mouth again when she looked at a couple of beautiful brown haired girl in front of her.
“oh my god, I’m sorry I’m sorry. Are you okay?” ask the other girl, panic.
“uh... yeah, i.. think so”
“thanks god” she let out a relief sigh. “I’m sorry again”
Jessica nod and walk through her, make the other girl feel guilty.
“Jessica Jung, right?”
She stopped and looked at the girl behind her.
“yeah, so?”
The brown haired girl smile brightly and raise her hand as she walk to Jessica.
“I’m Tiffany”
Jessica lift her eyebrow as she look at the other girl’s hand in front of her.
“okay” she turn away and left the confused girl behind her who still raise her hand. “watch your step”
-------------
“Fany… wait…”
Tiffany looked at behind her and turned around when a petite girl trying to catch her breath with her right hand hold on her hand. Tiffany smile when the shorter girl facing her, still manage her breath.
“yes, Tae?” ask Tiffany, grinning her teeth.
“this… is… your… paper work…” answer the petite girl out of breath. “wait. Lemme breath”
Tiffany let out a chuckle and she read the paper work. Tiffany is not a rich girl like her friend, Taeyeon nor Sunny - Taeyeon’s girlfriend. But she’s smart, her dad told her that she is brilliant and Taeyeon call her genius, Sunny call her bookworm but she is not, not at all. Her classmates call her freak because she always can solve Mr. Park’s super hard question.
Taeyeon said she can be the golden girl, sure she can. She is pretty, kind, and clever. But Tiffany didn’t want to be one of those famous girls like Taeyeon and Sunny or Jessica, Yuri and Sooyoung. Because of one reason, she is uncomfortable when there is a lot of people following her wherever she go. Tiffany prefer to be alone and read her favorite book and listening to the music from her iPod. That much better for her.
“how is your day?” ask Taeyeon when she and Tiffany walk together to the parking lot.
Tiffany let out a sigh. “I rushed against Jessica Jung at the canteen and…”
“you what?” cut Taeyeon with her lifted eyebrow.
“i.. rushed against that Jessica. W-why?”
Taeyeon laugh and clap her hands together. Tiffany looked at her with confuse expression as she poke the older girl cheek.
“yah, why?”
“nothing” answered Taeyeon, still laugh. “do you know how many people that want to rushed against her?”
Tiffany shrugged. “it can’t be count” she grinned her teeth.
“really? And I bet you want it to, right?”
Taeyeon stop laughing and look at the younger girl beside her.
“what?” Tiffany asked with her evil smile.

“please, give me more time. I promise I’ll pay it” begged Tiffany when the landlord asked her to pay the rent of apartment she occupied.
“again? This is 8 month late and you still can’t pay it? 8 month is a long time, Tiffany. You should get out of here”
Tiffany let out a heavy sigh as her vision blur with tears.
“where… should I live than?”
“that’s not my business” the landlord chuckle. “tomorrow… if you still can’t pay the rent, you better step out. I need money too, you know”
She wiped away her tears and let out her cell phone. She pressed a number but she closed her cell phone again. She can’t ask Taeyeon or Sunny for a help when she get a problem. She lived alone, she decided to lived alone than lived with her dad. Tiffany hated her dad, for a reason. Maybe if Mr. Hwang didn’t left her when she just a 10 years old kid and married with a rich old woman, she would never hate him. She heard from someone a couple of years ago that her dad divorced with than woman and Tiffany still don’t know where is he now. She still hated him anyway.
Tiffany step out the old building, she planned to search for a job. She can’t just sleep and get out of her apartment tomorrow morning and don’t have a place to live on. This is 8pm, and Tiffany don’t know where she can get a lot of money with just one night worked. She bite her lip as she look at a bar in front of her. ‘Should I work like those girls?’ ask her to herself. She stared into inside of the bar and without she expected, a guy walk into her with his drunken face. Tiffany gasped when he caressed her cheek and whisper to her ear.
“hi pretty, wanna spend the night with me?”
Tiffany gulped her saliva and her face turn pale.
“a-are you… g-gonna pay m-me?”
The guy let out a chuckle.
“how much do you want, baby?”
“100.000 won”
“100.000? if you good enough, I’ll pay as much as you wish. How is that?”
When she about to nod, someone call her and make her looked back in surprised. Her mouth agape as she trying to make her brain worked.
“Tiffany, right? What are you doing here?”
“J-Jessica? I-I.. um…”
“is that guy bothering you?”
The guy let out a slight laugh and answered.
“bothering her? We just make a deal. Right baby?” he griped Tiffany waist.
Jessica gasped in shock. “a… a deal?” she look at Tiffany who close her eyes and tears pulling down her cheeks.
Tiffany didn’t want this, and Jessica knows that. The blonde girl let out a sigh and take hold on Tiffany’s hand, pull her into her embrace and make the drunken guy look at her.
“fine, I still have a lot of easy girl like her anyway”
The guy entered the bar again and left the two girls outside. Jessica let out a relief sigh as she pulled of her embrace. Tiffany sobbing hard and make the blonde girl feel guilty.
“come with me”
-------------
Jessica looked at the crying girl beside her. They are at Jessica’s car, don’t know where to go when Tiffany told her that she don’t want to go home. The brown haired girl stayed silent and crying. Jessica stopped the car and tell Tiffany to stay when she go outside to buy something but Tiffany refuse.
“stay here”
“I don’t want to”
Jessica turn back and staring at her.
“I said stay here. I’ll be back”
“I said I don’t want to”
“why so stubborn?”Jessica let out a sigh. “fine, come with me”
Tiffany walked behind Jessica when the older girl stepped in to the mini market. She watch as the blonde girl pick up some stuff and put it into the basket she brought. Jessica paid it and they step out the market.
“can we… stay in the outside for a while? I need to fresh my head up”
Jessica nodded and walked into the bench across the street. Tiffany followed her and sat beside the blonde with her blankly expression. They stayed silent, busy with their own thought. Tiffany didn’t like the awkward silent so she broke it first.
“thanks”
“for what?”
“for-“
“you are not that kind of girl right?” cut Jessica, not looking at her. Tiffany looked at her and let out a heavy sigh. She shook her head and frown.
“no” she whisper. “no”
“why you do that?”
“I need money to pay the rent. The landlord will kick me out tomorrow if I can’t pay it” her vision started to blur again with tears. “I wondered what kind of job that can make a lot of money just in one night so… I think…”
she can’t finish her word as tears pulling down her face again.
“now I can’t… pay it…” she say between her sobs.
“how much it is?”
“more than 100.000 won. Why?”
“nothing” Jessica looked at the girl beside her as she smiled secretly.
------------
Tiffany opened her eyes slowly when the sun light made her vision blind for a second. She sat up on the edge of the bed and rubbed her eyes, she yawn. She looked into the room and stop her yawn , her mouth agape. She is in her room, her apartment. She looked around and found nothing but herself. As long as she remembered, she was with Jessica last night, but there is no sign of her here. The knock at the front door cought her attention. She opened the door and found the landlord with his bright smile. Tiffany lifted her eyebrow.
“I-I… still don’t have the money. If y-you-“
“hush… no need, Tiffany” cut the landlord.
“what do you mean?”
The landlord let out a chuckle.
“you make it free?” ask her in disbelieve.
“of course not” he let out a brown envelope and hold it with both of his hands. “you’re lucky to have such a rich girlfriend” he laugh. “thanks”
“girl… what? I don’t have any!” yelled Tiffany to the landlord who already walked away from her.
