Yuri stared blankly into space. It happened too fast and Yuri was having flashback of her past with Jessica. Those moments when they were just school girls until now – all came on rewind and they haunted Yuri so much. Her heart ached so much that Yuri wished she could be the one in that ICU ward instead of Jessica Jung.
She was choking hard on her tears and her hands trembled so much. She was desperate enough to hold Jessica like how she did earlier on. Her hands were completely drenched with Jessica’s blood when she held the dying girl in her arms tightly.
Why? Why must this happen? Why must it happen to Jessica?
Yuri kept asking herself again and again. Why did she have to put someone else through so much pain and so much shit? What did Jessica do to deserve this? Yuri was still staring hard at the wall in front of her. So what must she do now?
What the hell she must do next? Yuri just couldn’t figure out yet.

Tiffany looked on as she stood in the doorway. Yuri was outside while Yoona was inside. She couldn’t figure out who she should console first. She finally understood why Yoona was always anxious when it comes to Jessica and why Yuri would give her that look each time they were alone together. She should have understood.
Tiffany was surprised when Yoona confessed her love for Jessica earlier on. She never knew her sister was so in love with Jessica.
“Unnie, Jessica cannot die! Jessica cannot die, unnie!”
“Yoona, calm down! Yoona please, you have to calm down!”
“I don’t want Jessica to leave me. I love her, Unnie! I love her so much!”
“Yoona..”
“She means the world to me. I don’t care what’s going to happen to her just as long as she survives this! I’ll take good care of her! I don’t care what’s going to happen in the future; I just want her to be with me!”
“Yoona, you’re blocking the paramedics’ efforts to help Jessica.”
Tiffany gently pulled Yoona away but the girl was latching herself on Jessica’s stretcher. The paramedics had to forcefully pushed Yoona away. Tiffany quickly wrapped her arms around Yoona when her sister started wailing. It hurt Tiffany to watch Yoona like this.
Yuri was still standing there like a statue. She was just staring at Jessica. Tears fell profusely but Yuri just kept still. Tiffany felt sorry for Yuri and Jessica. But she never expected Yoona to be in a worse state as compared to Yuri.
“Unnie...”
“Yoona, just calm down, okay? Jessica will not leave us just like that. You have to trust in Jessica that she will survive this. You have to be strong for her, okay?”
Yoona nodded her head like a child who just got reprimanded. Tiffany hugged her baby sister tightly. That was the only thing she could do for Yoona. Then the paramedics offered Yoona to tag along and the lady didn’t hesitate. She jumped onto the ambulance quickly; leaving Tiffany and Yuri behind.
Yuri was still standing alone. There was guilt in her eyes and Tiffany didn’t wait any longer. She ran over to Yuri and pulled her to the side. Yuri let herself being pulled and dragged to the side of the road. Tiffany cupped her cheeks tightly and brought Yuri’s face to her shoulders.
“Yuri, are you alright?”
Yuri couldn’t speak. She just remained quiet.
“Yuri, talk to me.”
