Say YES!

"I'm actually planning to go back to the States with you."

"Taecyeon..." Jessica didn't know how to reply to Taecyeon.

"I just remembered I have to do something." Sooyoung looked at Jessica before walking away. Jessica wanted a kiss from Sooyoung or even just to be near her. She felt like she is so far away from Sooyoung. Of course, she couldn't complain. This was her idea, to pretend they're not together. As long as Taecyeon's here, she can't be too close to Sooyoung.

Taecyeon eyed Sooyoung as she walked away. "She can be a model?"

"Huh?" Jessica who was zoning out asked.

"Sooyoung. Did I get her name right?"

"Yeah, what about her?" Jessica is interested in everything about Sooyoung.

"She can be a model. She's beautiful, nice figure and tall."

Jessica wanted to brag about Sooyoung as her girlfriend but she can't do that now.

"She's exactly my bestfriend's type."

Jessica hit Taecyeon like it's the most natural thing. "Don't you dare...!"

"Okay, okay. Calm down, Jessi. I didn't know you are such a protective friend."

"I'm protective of the people that I care about." Jessica said seriously.

"Why are you so serious?" Taecyeon went nearer to Jessica, touching her by the shoulder so they can be closer. Jessica backed away.

"Don't touch me."

"Why are you acting this way? You kept on flirting with me months ago and now that I finally want you, you become so cold."

Sunny and Hyomin tiptoed upon exiting the room.

"I don't wanna get involved." Sunny pulled Hyomin.

"So he likes Jessica? I'm jealous of Jessi." Hyomin whispered.

When Sunny let go of her hand, Hyomin catches up and intertwined their hands again.

Back to Taecyeon and Jessica...

"Many things have changed in the past month, Taecyeon," Jessica said. He doesn't even know why he even liked the guy in the first place.

"I don't care." Taecyeon tried to hold her hands but Jessica resisted.

"Why did you come here?" Jessica has raised her voice.

"I just want to spend time with you and like I said before, maybe we could come back to the US together. Have you booked a flight already?

Jessica shook her head. "I don't know when I'm coming back."

Taecyeon is laughing now. "You're just joking right now, right? You told me you hate this place so much. You even told me you hate your father."

"Don't talk about my father like that!"

"But you said it yourself. What happened in the past month that has changed you this way?"

"That's none of your business."

"Jessica, I'm tired. I just drove for hours to be here. Can you at least be nicer to me?"

"I'm sorry. Just be comfortable. Feel at home. Ask Sunny if you need anything."

"Jessi..." Taecyeon was about to say something but Jessica is already gone.

Hyomin just got a text from Siwon. She tried to act natural but then Sunny noticed her actions immediately.
