Say YES!

Taeyeon ran as fast as she could to catch up with Jessica. She finally got a hold of Jessica's arms just when they were about to cross the intersection.

"Let go of me!" Jessica screamed at Taeyeon.

"No. Where are you planning to go anyway?"

"I don't know! Away from Sooyoung. Away from her Hara and away from all of you." Her tears are now flowing. She twisted her arm so Taeyeon would have no choice but to let go of her. Just then, Jessica rode a taxi and Taeyeon failed when she tried to stop her.

"Jessica!" Taeyeon called her but the taxi drove off.

Sooyoung pulled away when she realized what Hara was doing.

"Hara!" Sooyoung backed off. "We talked about this. I thought we already had an understanding."

"But Sooyoung..."

"What? I'm trying to be a good friend by telling you what I really feel. What more do you want from me?!" Sooyoung raised her voice to Hara.

"Exactly, Soo. I want more from you. Sooyoung, love me and I will never hurt you."

"Hara..." Sooyoung tried to calm herself down seeing her hurt friend.

"Sooyoung, I'll love you more than she could love you."

"Hara, if there's anything I've learned from my break up with Jessica, it's that our break up is the mistake itself. I know I hurt a lot but I was devastated because it was Jessica who did that to me. I would rather have my heart broken a thousand times by her than to not feel at all."

At that moment, Hara forced out a smile. "Pity me. I was not born Jessica Jung."

Sooyoung smiled at her as she caressed Hara's cheeks. "Sorry, Hara. You'll find the right one for you." She scanned the house, admiring the decorations and the dinner table Hara prepared.

"So this is the trouble you're in. You need help with what, eating the food?" Sooyoung chuckled.

Hara giggled. "At least eat the dinner I prepared for you."

"It's my honor to eat your dishes." Sooyoung said. She checked her phone for her messages. She did not hear it ringing earlier because she was in a hurry to get to Hara. She was surprised to see nine missed calls from Tiffany. Then, her phone rang again. This time, she was fast to answer it.

"What's the matter, Fany?"

"Sooyoung, where are you?!" Tiffany's voice sounded so worried.

"I'm at Hara's."

"You were supposed to meet Jessica, remember?"

"Oh, shit." Sooyoung hung up and quickly stood up from her chair.

"Sooyoung, what happened?"

"Hara, I promise I'll make it up to you. But right now, I have to go to Jessica." Sooyoung ran to door and drive as fast as she can to go to Jessica, still unaware of the party that was supposed to be for her.

The guests are starting to leave as Tiffany and the rest keeps apologizing for what happened. They still encouraged everyone to eat the prepared dishes before they go. Hyomin's mom and Siwon left early.

"Siwon is acting like a child and insisted on coming home. Too bad, I wanted to eat here." Hyomin's mom told Hyomin.

Hyomin giggled. "It's okay, mom. See you at the office."
