Jessica's POV

"I know you're there!"

Shit, what am I going to do, show myself, or just hide? Just as I was thinking,

"You're really bad at hiding, you know, and I can see you. So come out! I won't bite!"

Just show up! When on Earth did the almighty Jessica Jung got scared?!

"I'm right behind you, beautiful."

"Please! I'm too young to die! If you want, I'll get out of here and never come back! Please, just don't kill me!"

"Who told you I will? Stop that drama, you don't look good at doing it. I'm Choi Sooyoung, but just call me Sooyoung or Soo."

I stared at her, confused and scared.

"Well, aren't you going to tell me your name?"

"Jung Jessica. Call me whatever name you find comfortable."

"Soooo, I haven't seen you around here before. Is it your first time?"

"Umm, yeah. Do you live nearby?"

"Somewhere around this forest. You might think it's small, but to tell you honestly, it's more than a hundred acres!"

"Why do people go here seldom?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm glad you came."

No, I must not show her my weak spot! I should be known as a cold woman!

"We've only just met, and now you're telling me things as if we knew each other for a long time? How pathetic!"

"Trying to be cold, eh? Well stop that, cuz you look more beautiful when you smile, Jessica."

My cheeks are getting red! I could only stay silent and try to hide my smile.

"Don't be afraid to show me who you are, because whoever you want to show your cold attitude, won't be here to see the kind side of you."

"Enough of the sweet talking, I dislike hearing it."

"Hmm, it's the truth, not a way to get into your pants."

"Eww, go f*ck yourself!"

"I'm just kidding. Anyway, you look like a 40 year old, sexually frustrated woman in that outfit! Seriously, are you so stuck with work that you lost a sense of fashion?"

"Ugh, my father forces me to wear it. By the way, you don't recognize who I am?"

"Umm, nope. Not at all! Well, anyway what a boring type of person he is, but anyway as much as possible wear some clothes that would make you look like your age, not like some old nag."

"You speak as if you're wearing the latest trend."

"Hey, vintage is beautiful."

"Are we just going to stand here or what? Where's your house?"

"You want to visit the house of a person you just met? And so demanding, I like it!"

"Well, is this how you treat your guests? Make them stand in the open forest?"

"No of course! It's just that, it's been ages since I had a guest. Well anyway, let's go!"

"Is your house far from here?"

"Nope. Just a short walk."

Isn't it weird that you feel comfortable with a person you just met? I couldn't even show a single smile to my sister, neither could I laugh when I'm around Yuri, Yoona, Sunmi, or Sunny! Aish, what have you  done to me Sooyoung? And I thought that everyone in South Korea recognizes the Jungs, especially me as the new CEO, but how is it that she doesn't even know about it? Weird.Since it was only a short walk, we have arrived at an old cabin.

"It's not as grand as you thought it would be, so please bear with it."

"Wow, you really are a person who loves the vintage style."

"Yeah. Come in!"

I believe that if it weren't for her efforts, the cabin would look like an abandoned and haunted one, since it looks so old. But the interior is waaayyy better that my house, and I'm surprised!

"Here's some tea and biscuits. Sorry if that's all I could give you."

"It's fine." I said

Ok, this is awkward. The silence is freaking awkward. I have to break this weird atmosphere.

"You live alone?"

"Yeah."

"How many years have you been living here?"

"Umm, 9 years."

"Aren't you getting bored here?"

"Nope. I love this forest, and the vibe that I've been receiving from it."

"Well, your house isn't that bad."

"Thank you."

We talked about a lot of things, and little did I know, it was starting to get dark.

"Hey, Jessica, the sun's setting. I think it's time for to you go. It's hard to see things here at night."

"Accompany me to the entrance of the forest, since you were the one who brought me here."

"Of course."

I couldn't believe that we're already at the entrance, time was so fast!

"So, I guess this is the part where we say goodbye?"

"Yeah. Good bye Sooyoung."

I was about to enter my car, but Sooyoung held my wrist.

"Wait, are you coming back?"
