Both Tiffany and I walked to my car in complete silence. Why didn't she just go with Jiwoong?

When I was in the driver's seat, I didn't start the car.

"Aren't you going to start the car?" Tiffany asked.

"Why didn't you go with Jiwoong-oppa?" I asked sternly.

"I wanted to go with you." She said quietly.

"Mhm.."

"Taeyeon-ah..."

"What?"

"Let's just place our relationship behind us."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Let's not be awkward. We need to get your family members back and land Jessica's parents in jail."

"Why is it 'we'? Shouldn't it be Jessica, Jiwoong, and I?"

"WHY IS JESSICA ALWAYS THERE?!" She suddenly shouted.

"Cause she's part of the situation and you're not." I stated with coldness.

"Is that how you will treat me after we broke up?" She asked with a hurtful voice.

"Let's not talk about this ok?"

In a silent car, we waited for Jessica to walk out of the building. Tiffany had both earphones in while my eyes were searching for Jessica.

"Stop searching. She will be out soon." Tiffany said without any emotion evident in her voice.

"How do you know?"

"She messaged me. Yuri's not coming."

"Um. Ok?"

After that there was a long silence, only the sound of Tiffany's music echoed in the car even though she had earphones in.

"Sorryyy!" Jessica came inside the car and closed the door.

"It's fine Sica." I smiled to her through the rear view mirror.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Tiffany clench her teeth. Jessica gave me a smile back.

When I was driving, it was silent. No one dared to utter a word.

"So.. um.  I hear something from Yuri." Jessica tried to start up a conversation.

"Yeah we broke up." Tiffany said without any emotion.

"Oh. Ok."

"I'm guessing she also told you the reason?" Tiffany asked without taking her eyes off her cell phone screen.

"Yeah. She told me. But I assure you Tiff. There's will be nothing going on. I'm with Yuri and I only love her." Jessica tried to convince Tiffany.

"Ok."

By that simple two letter word, the car went back into its silent mode.

AH IT'S SO AWKWARD.

"So Sica, how was America? And your business?" I tried to start a nicer conversation.

"IT'S GREAT! I opened up a store in SOHO New York!" Jessica announced and I smiled.

"Congrats! Oh and this Tyler Kwon, he's coming when?"
