Since they are friends already, Jessica has gained the habit of visiting Hyomin's apartment every night. That's her way of seeing Sooyoung without crossing the line of friendship. She would come over with food, bringing in Sooyoung's favorites with her. She felt happy when Sooyoung accepted her food the first time she came over. After that, it has become a routine for Jessica. Spend the day planning about meeting Sooyoung the later that night.

Tonight, Jessica is already watching tv comfortably in the living room with Sunny and Hyomin. Tiffany and Taeyeon came over too. When the door opened, she stood up to greet Sooyoung. Sooyoung entered the living room, but she is with Hara. Jessica's expression changed. It was her rival after all. She found out from Sunny the other day that the girl likes Sooyoung. After hearing that, Jessica knew they would never be friends.

"Hi." Hara greeted all of them. She introduced herself to Jessica. "I'm Hara. I wasn't able to introduce myself to you last time." She smiled sweetly.

Jessica smiled while she is observing the girl.

"Oh Hara, what do you have there?" Tiffany asked, seeing Hara holding something.

"Oh, I made carbonara for Sooyoung. She was craving yesterday, so I thought I should cook her this and share with all of you."

Another blow for Jessica. She buys food for Sooyoung. Hara cooks it for her.

"She can cook all of my favorite dishes. She's amazing." Sooyoung told Tiffany. She knows that Jessica is listening but she doesn't care. Jessica is just a friend. She has no right to be jealous of Hara.

All night, Sooyoung couldn't stop talking about Hara. Hara is this... Hara is that... Jessica's ears are hurting by now but it doesn't compare to the pain in her heart.

Tiffany knew what Sooyoung was trying to do so she decided to speak for her cousin. "Remember the time when Jessica almost burned the house down when she tried to cook? Everyone laughed except for Jessica. Jessica saw Sooyoung laughing and turned her gaze back to Tiffany.

"You're not exactly helping." Jessica mouthed. Tiffany just stuck her tongue out to Jessica.

Jessica was so embarrassed that she continued eating her food quietly, focusing on it so that she didn't have to look at Sooyoung again. She didn't know that Sooyoung kept on stealing glances on her the whole night. Nobody noticed it except for Hara who has been watching Sooyoung closely.

The next day at work, Sooyoung was surprised to receive a text from Jessica.

From: My FRIEND Jessica

Hey, good morning. Thank you for the dinner last night.

Sooyoung chuckled. She didn't prepare the dinner at all yet she received the thank you. Jessica was so excited when she saw that Sooyoung replied.

From: Baby

Hey, you shouldn't thank me. Thank Sunny for the dinner. Oh, and don't forget to thank Hara. The best carbonara ever.

Sooyoung was just teasing Jessica. She just wanted to know how Jessica will react. It took a while before Jessica replied to the text because she didn't know how to reply. Jessica always ends up typing a jealous message that's why she had to do the message again. She kept reminding herself that she has no right to be jealous.

From: My FRIEND Jessica

I will. The next time I'll see here. Will you bring her over tonight again?
