Walking into the house, it was quiet.
“Yul?”
She can only hear her voice echoing on the walls.
He must be sleeping
She had forgotten about him going to work that day. So she just closed the door and head upstairs.
She went to the master bedroom. There was no sign of him. All she could see was an undo bed. Only on his side, the right side of the bed. She checked the bathroom, nothing. Jessica sighed. She sat on a chair and combed her hair backwards.
Looking at Yul’s table in the room, his briefcase wasn’t there. She mentally hit herself when she realized that he had gone to work. She sighed once more.
Suddenly she heard the front door being closed.
She got up from the chair moving downstairs, “Seobang? Are you home?”
But the house still looked empty. There was no one. She opened the door, checking outside just to see the warm sunny weather. So she closed the door again, this time she locked it.
Should I just go to his office?
“Thank you for locking the door”
She spun her body around when she heard an unfamiliar manly voice behind her. A stranger in the house.
“AAH!” she shouted at his presence.
Jessica ran over to the couch, using it as a barrier between her and the stranger, “WHO ARE YOU!”
“Hey, relax now. Is that how you greet people, priceless model?”
She couldn’t see his face as he was wearing a cap and hoodie over his head. Trembling in fear, her arm stretched out wanting to reach the house phone. However, he stopped her from doing so by grabbing her arm.
“YAH! LET ME GO!”
She threw her punches on the guy’s chest and shoulder when he pulled her closer. She tried to push him away but his grip was tight.
“Damn girl, you’re strong” he smirked. “No wonder my brother loves you”
“What?” she stopped.
Her eyes looked directly at him. There she saw his face. She saw someone familiar through his visual.
“And you are one sexy model” his eyes scanned her body
“NO! LET ME GO!” she gave a kick on his shin
“Oww!” he released her and growled in pain. But he managed to seize her hand.
Jessica squaled when he locked both of her arms as they fell to the floor. Her head swung from side to side and her body struggled still trying to pry away.
“Yul!!” she screamed Yul’s name
“Ohoho calling your hubby eh? You think he’s gonna hear you?” laughed the guy
“YUL!!!”
She was getting tired. But she didn’t give up. Jessica wanted to scream her lungs out, letting someone to at least hear her. But in a blink of an eye, she felt a stinging pain against her head, and her vision went dark.
*************
Yul was waiting for Yejin to walk out from the room when he suddenly felt weird. Something inside was bothering him. He didn’t feel any good. Like something terrible had happened. For some reason he heard a tiny scream but he shook it away.
“Well? What are you waiting for?!”
Yejin was just a half metre away from the door. She tightened her fists still choosing to leave, or not to leave.
“JUST GET OUT-”
She turned, “Your life and Sica shi is in danger!”
His eyebrows jumped, “I beg your pardon?”
She went to him, but not any close. She dropped her knees to the floor with her head hung low.
“I’ve done something terrible, please forgive me”
“Can you please not make a drama in my office?”
Her voice cracked as she explained, “A guy name Lee Dongwoon came to find me. He is Lee Dongwook’s younger brother”
“D-Dongwook?”
“Yes.. Jessica’s ex husband. The brother wanted to seek revenge on the both of you, especially Jessica shi. I agreed to help him..”
Yul slowly released his hands away from his hips. He had his jaw opened a little as he couldn’t believe to what he was hearing.
“And I agreed to help him because.. “ a tear dropped from her eye. “Because I wanted to have you”
“What.. what did you say?”
Finally, Yejin burst into tears, “I was selfish, Yul. I like you from the start. I’ve been admiring you. When Dongwoon told me that he could take you away from Jessica and give you to me.. I just couldn’t help it but to agree. I’m sorry!”
Yul was speechless. He couldn’t utter a word at the moment. All this time, his assistant did have feelings for him, and even made plans to ruin his marriage.. and wanted himself thrown to her.. he can feel his blood pumping hard.
“Sica..” it was all he could say.
Sica.. Sica’s innocent..
She got tricked
Sica!
That was why he had the bad feeling. Jessica is in danger.
He dashed out from the room , “Sica!”
