Chapter 4

Don't ask why it has to be you
Just stay with me.

— Stay, Blackpink.

Taeyeon immediately plopped down on the couch as soon as she got home. She rested her arm over her face to cover her eyes and decided to take a nap.

Due to exhaustion, she didn't bother to wait for Jessica. She didn't even know that the latter was brought into the health room. Well, actually she didn't want to know at all.

It wasn't even been five minutes after she fell asleep and she was already awaken by the voice of a girl shouting her name from outside while furiously knocking on the door.

Taeyeon jolted up in confusion. She was kind of hesitant to open the door but she thought that the person had no plan to stop if she just let it. In the end, she opened the door and she was surprised when she saw her sister-in-law, Krystal.

Krystal stared at Taeyeon with a pair of eyes filled with anger and hatred. Her fingers curled up into a tight fist and her chest was rising and falling rapidly.

There were Tiffany and Sooyoung behind Krystal. They were supporting Jessica to stand up properly by holding onto the poor girl's arms because she was still unconscious ever since she fainted at the school earlier.

"What with the sudden commotion?" Taeyeon asked emotionlessly and instead of being worried, there was only annoyance evident on her expression.

With a teardrop running down her cheek, Krystal raised her hand and landed her palm hard against Taeyeon's cheek without hesitation.

Due to the unexpected slap, Taeyeon involuntarily tilted her head to the right side by force. She shut her eyes in pain and bit her bottom lip with her hand covering her cheek.

"Does it hurt?! Huh?! Does it hurt?! Answer me! Does it hurt enough? You jerk!" Krystal grabbed Taeyeon by her collar and pushed her back against the couch.

Taeyeon was unable to react while she was being pushed because she was still unaware of what was happening now. She was still confused and shocked even with blood flowing out of the corner of her lips.

"Krystal, stop it!" Tiffany threw her arms around Krystal from behind and pulled her back away from Taeyeon.

Sooyoung laid Jessica on the couch and ran to the kitchen to get a wet towel. She tried to wake the unconscious girl in the midst of the chaos by wiping the dampened towel on her face.

"Let me go! I want to kill this bastard! Let me go!" Krystal yelled in tears but Tiffany refused to let her go, knowing that she might hurt Taeyeon again.

Taeyeon, on the other side, was still with her cocky act. She wiped the blood off her lips with the back of her hand and looked up at Krystal with a mixture of hatred and amused in her dark brown orbs.

"I thought you would take care of my sister well! I thought you had promised to love her always!" Krystal continued to speak in tears, "But look at her now! She was in a miserable state at the bus stop this morning and I met her again looking so fucking miserable and unconscious at school! And when all of these shits happened, I didn't see you at all, Kim Taeyeon! I didn't see you at all! Where were you?! What have you done to her, you fucking jerk?! I've never seen her like this! Not even once! You know? Not even once!"

True, Krystal didn't have a single idea of what was really happening between Taeyeon and Jessica, but after seeing her sister in that condition, she knew that her sister had been treated badly.

"If it's not for that fucking business cooperation, do you think you could take her from me?! No, Kim Taeyeon! Even if you kill me, I would never let her to be with someone like you! I'll never. You heard me? You..." Krystal can't continue her words and just cried. Tiffany turned the young girl towards her and hugged her tightly, trying to calm her down in her embrace.
