Two days went by after the day Sooyoung and Taeyeon witnessed the scene in the vacation house. They had to drove Yuri and Jessica home right that morning, and the mood in the car was not a cheerful one. Actually, it was dead silent during the whole drive. Jessica was too pissed to even say a word, Yuri knew speaking at that moment wasn't helping, and Taeyeon and Sooyoung were simply too scared of provoking Jessica to aspirate a sound.
Sooyoung dropped Taeyeon and Jessica off in front of Taeyeon's apartment complex and drove straight to the company at Yuri's desire. From that day on, Jessica hadn't seen nor heard anything from Yuri. She forbad Taeyeon and Tiffany to tell the girl where her apartment was, so it was pretty much impossible for Yuri to find her.
"Jessi..."
Tiffany and Taeyeon came visiting her today, checking if she was alright.
"You still haven't told us what happened."
They sat onto the couch on each side next to her, giving her concerned looks. But Jessica didn't want to talk about it, she was just angry and hurt and disappointed and didn't want to think of Yuri at all. Even if the girl constantly popped up in her mind, Jessica suppressed it with all her might.
"You kissed her. Did you guys..."
"No!" She snapped at Tiffany.
"So did Yuwree kiss you against your will?" Tiffany grabbed her hand, looking at her worriedly.
Jessica looked back at the girl, raising an eye-brow. What were they thinking?
"Sica, this is really worrying us. Because if Yuri really... you know, then that's like... a sexual assault and--"
Jessica furiously shook her head. Taeyeon and Tiffany were having wrong thoughts. Yuri did disappoint her, but the girl didn't deserve to bear the blame of something this ridiculous. Sighing tiredly, she knew she had to speak. The thing was just, she didn't know where to begin.
"She didn't--didn't do it against my will."
Jessica bit her bottom lip as she remembered how she kissed Yuri back just as passionately.
"I knew it. It didn't look like you were forced." Taeyeon commented.
"So, did you guys..."
"Tiffany, we didn't do anything beyond kissing." Jessica rolled her eyes. "Fortunately, we didn't."
"Then why--"
"She's Jiyong's cousin." Jessica bitterly told the truth, finally.
Taeyeon and Tiffany's jaws dropped on the ground.
"Kwon Yuri!"
"Sica I'm here!"
They released the kissed immediately, hearing the shouts. Jessica froze in shock. Time seemed to stop for a second when thousand things hit her head at instant. Kwon? Kwon. Kwon Jiyong.
"What relationship do you have with Kwon Jiyong?"
She uttered the most important question barely audible.
"Jessica... I'm his cousin, I--"
SLAP.
Yuri knew beforehand. Jessica could tell from the way the girl looked at her. She could read it in Yuri's eyes. Yuri knew exactly who the person breaking her heart in the past was. Yet, Yuri decided to hide it. All Jessica could feel that moment was pain in her heart. She didn't know why - but it hurt her so much.
"Sica... Yuri, she--"
"Don't try to defend her!" She snapped at Taeyeon. "She knew exactly what her cousin and her family did to my family! She pretended to not know anything and even asked me to tell her about it!"
