I Would Travel A Thousand Years For You

Chapter 8

Jessica was crying alone in her room again while Seohyun could only look on helplessly.

"Sica Unnie, please stop crying." Seohyun pleaded for the hundredth time.

"How can I Seo? I kicked Taeyeon out for no reason, she must hate me so much now. I don't blame her. Everytime I close my eyes, all I can see is the hurt look on her face when she was dragged away. She didn't even defend herself Seo! She just sat there and let me go with my plan." Jessica cried.

Seohyun felt sorry for both girls, but all she could do was stand there and watch Jessica cry and cry.

"Sica, at least eat a little bit please. Starving yourself won't bring Taeyeon back." Seohyun advised, gently pushing a tray full of food towards Jessica.

"I can't eat Seo. My whole body feels like it's been cut in half. I mean, I didn't even feel this bad when I broke up with Yuri!" Jessica sobbed.

"Maybe it's cause you love Taeyeon the way she loved you. Just that you never saw it. The way she always knew what you wanted even if you didn't say it, the way that she took care of you from day one. Heck, on her first day she cleaned your room so swiftly and so expertly, almost as if she already knew you for a long time. Did you not see all this Unnie?" Seohyun asked quietly.

Jessica's head shot up from her pillow. "Seo! I'm so blind! I feel so bad. The way Taeyeon had taken care of me, had never argued with me even when I was being unreasonable. She treated me like I was a Goddess, and I treated her like nothing more than a servant. I don't deserve to call her a friend, not with the way I treated her. I kept telling myself that what I did was all for her own good, but in reality it was that I was too cowardly to face my own feelings and admit them, so I tried to get rid of the source of them." Jessica screamed.

Seohyun nodded her head silently, glad that Jessica had finally realised her feelings. "I've known your feelings for a long time Unnie. I've seen the same spark in your eye that Taeyeon had whenever she spoke of you or was near you. That spark came about after you broke up with Yuri Unnie." Seohyun replied in the same quiet voice.

"Hoo!" Henry cooed, a letter in his mouth.

Jessica jumped up from her bed and grabbed the letter while tearing it open.

Dear Jessica,
This is Tyler. I need to meet you urgently. Meet at the big sycamore tree you and Yuri used to meet at. Hurry! Meet me there at twelve!
From,
Your future husband Tyler

"Shoot! Seo what time is it?" Jessica asked worriedly.

"Uhh, eleven forty five. Hurry Unnie!" Seohyun rushed.

In a record time of five minutes, Jessica changed and sprinted out of the estate, Seohyun following closely behind. Just when it reached twelve, Jessica and Seohyun arrived at the sycamore tree, with Tyler nowhere in sight. The two girls were so frantic that they did not notice the two big men approaching them from behind.

"Thwack!" One blow from the men was all that was needed for the two girls to fall unconscious, and they were easily lifted by the men and carried away.
