Eunjung jumped in shocked when her cell phone vibrated on her pocket. She took a look at it and groaned annoyingly when she answered the call.
“yah, Ham Eunjung! Where are you?? why you make me waiting sooooooo long??”
Eunjung rolled her eyes.
“sorry, I have another work to do first before I picked you up”
“you better make it fast”
Eunjung huffed and put her phone back on her jeans pocket. This is so annoying for her, she never want to be a driver for a super annoying blonde who always yelled at her and make her do anything she want. Do you know who is the blonde? Right, her name is Park Gyuri, the cabinet minister’s one and only daughter. She put the plastic bag in the kitchen rack before she picked the car key on the couch. She isn’t live in Park’s residence since last year because - as you know - Gyuri always force her to do anything even though it isn’t her job.
She started the car engine and pulled the gas pedal. She stopped the car at the parking lot 15 minutes letter and stepped out the car. She leaned against the car door as she watched the situation around her. She always want to be one of those student; study, hang out, sleep over when they finished their homework late in the night, laughed and do something stupid together with her friends.
But no, she is not the lucky girl like Gyuri or everyone walked passed her. She enjoyed her job so far and being mature like this - have her own money without asked her parents to give her any - is not that bad. Her parents - her big family - is the only one that Park family trusted since years. But the Parks is not as good as they look (you know what I mean? If not, just remember the Park Gyuri).
“aish… where is her?” she whisper to herself as she looked around her in hope can find Gyuri.
A tapped on her shoulder make her turned around, her eyes wide open as she notice who is it.
“Jungie?” Tiffany lifted her eyebrow. “what are you doing here?”
“I-I um… uh… I am…” she bit her lower lip and change the topic. “you’re one of the student here, Fany-ah?”
“oh yes I am” she flashed her eye-smile. “why I never saw you before? You’re new here?”
“actually, I’m-“
“Eunjung!”
A shouted behind her cut her words. She rolled her eyes and turn around only to find Gyuri walked fast at her.
“you know her?” Tiffany whispered. Eunjung nodded slightly.
Gyuri stopped in front of her as she looked at Tiffany in disgust. Eunjung noticed something wrong between the two of them and looked at them confused.
“what are you doing here?” Gyuri asked Tiffany sarcasticly.
“anything I want to” Tiffany scoffed.
A sly smile appeared on the blonde face.
“you aren’t flirt with my driver, don’t you? bored with your Jessica already?”
“oh shut up Gyul!”
“whoa whoa whoa~~ what’s wrong with you guys? I smell something bad happened here”
Gyuri scoffed and opened the passenger’s door.
“she just can’t make her girlfriend happy” she looked at Tiffany’s eyes. “I’ve got her girlfriend already”
With that, Gyuri entered the car and slammed the door shut. Eunjung saw Tiffany’s fingers turn into a fist as the other girl manage her breath to steady. Eunjung gulped and hold on her shoulder.
“Fany, are you okay?”
Tiffany sighed, she looked at Eunjung and smiled weakly.
“Jungie~~ can I call you tonight? I… I need someone to talked to”
Eunjung want to smile widely and jumped in joy when Tiffany asked that question. But she keep cool and answered it with a smile on her face.
“sure you can. You know I always here when you need me”
Tiffany smile. “thank you Jungie”

Tiffany POV
I closed the door and took of my shoes as I make my way to the living room. I know Jessica is here, the empty bowl and a glass of half milk still on the dining table. I wash out the dishes and put it back on the table before I up the stairs to the second floor.
I opened the door and found Jessica sleeping figure on the bed. I sighed heavily as I made my way towards her. I sat at the edge of the bed and looked at her beautiful face. I stoke her hair that cover her face, cupped her cheek. When I stroke her hair that covered her neck, my eyes grew wider, jaw dropped.
“oh my…”
I caress her neck; the love marks, as my vision become blur and tears dropped on my face. I breath heavily as I covered my mouth with my other hand - don’t want to wake her up. I can’t stand it, really. My mind goes blank and I dropped myself at the floor beside the bed.
‘Did she just make out with someone else? Did she just cheat on me? But she promised me, she loves me. She loves me? Really?’
I looked at her still sleeping figure as my sobs started to bother her - but she didn’t wake up or not wake up yet. I stood, take a stepped back and leaned my already limped body to the wall behind me, still covered my mouth. I closed my eyes in hope I can clear all the sorrowful thought in my mind. The love marks… in her neck that should just mine only now is already kissed by someone else. I wondered who and how she dared to do that to me. This is really really made me hurt. I trusted her and this is what I got now?
Jessica shifted in her sleep and rubbed her eyes lazily. She took a deep breath before she looked at the watched beside the bed - not noticing me. She yawned loudly and sleep again, not even whispering my name or at least call me and asked me where am I. I feel like… she is not Jessica I have known before.
----------
I woke up in the couch in the morning and found a blanket wrapped around my limped body. I tossed the blanket as I sat up the couch, looking around my empty - or just looks so empty - house. I took a deep breath and exhale faintly.
Headache suddenly attacked me and I groaned as I propped up my body at the nearest wall. I tear out my hair, eyes closed and I bit inside of my cheek. This is must because of last night, I couldn’t sleep so well while my tears still flooded up my face.
“hey, are you okay?”
I’m not looking at her but I know there is a little worried expression in her face, I nodded weakly. She tapped my shoulder but without unexpectedly I jerk her hand and made my way to the kitchen. For the first time, I don’t wanna her to touched me, I don’t wanna see her angelic face, and for a some reasons, I feel like I do a right thing.
I pour milk to the empty glass on my gripped and gulped it slowly. Jessica stood beside me, I took a glance at her but avoid her and make my way to the bathroom after I grabbed my towel.
1 hour letter, I already dressed up and ready to go to the campus with my hand bag and car key in my hand. Jessica looked at me worriedly from the couch - still prepare her belongings. I wanted to yelled and cried loudly at her, in front of her eyes so she knows what am I feeling. I want to slapped her gorgeous face and curse her because she broke my only heart. I know she knows why I’m act like this but why she don’t even asked me about it?
“you don’t want to wait up for me?” she asked.
I scoffed and slammed the door as loud as I can and ran towards the garage with now my tears. She don’t even ran after me like two years ago when I saw her kissed Gyuri. I was opened my car’s door when my phone rang softly on my bag. I wiped my tears and stopped my sobs before answered it. it’s Eunjung, and I feel relief because of it.
“fany-ah~~” she said happily like usual. I can’t help but smile.
“yes Jungie?”
“why you didn’t call me last night? I was waiting for your call” even in the phone line I still can imagine that she is pouting now.
“aww… I’m sorry. I was…” I bit my lip when I remember what happened last night and sigh. Eunjung just too know me so well and she notice my hurt tone.
“is everything okay?”
“no. actually”
I frowned now and lowered my head. I started the engine and plugged my earphone so I still can on the phone line with Eunjung. I drove my car out of the garage and pulled the gas pedal when I saw Jessica stepped out from the house.
“you can tell me everything”
“yes I know that. I tell you letter, Jungie I promised”
“cool! So um… when is that? I mean…”
I giggled at her impatient.
“you are 24 hours there when I need you, right?”
“mhm... so? That’s not answered my question Fany-ah”
“I don’t want to call you… I want to meet up with you. I feel so broken right now. Are you free today?”
“good idea. Not really, this Gyuri want me to do something for her. I’m free at 8pm, how’s that?”
“perfect. Where?”
“um… dunno. Why you asking? You’re the one who offered this” I giggled. “how about… our favorite café? It’s been a long time since our last visited right?”
“right! I miss that café too. So… see you at 8 Jungie. Bye~~~”

Jessica grabbed Tiffany’s hand when her girlfriend about to walk passed her. Tiffany jerked her hand but Jessica’s grip stronger than her. She turned Tiffany around, facing her but she avoided her gaze. Jessica’s face looks so sad and about to cry when Tiffany seems hates her so much.
“I know I-“
“you slept with someone else” that’s not a question, but declaration. She glare at no the crying Ice Princess, tiffany didn’t feel guilty because of those tears. She scoffed.
“I’m the one who should cry right now, not you”
Jessica covered her mouth than wipe her tears.
“I didn’t mean too. I’m sorry”
“you didn’t mean too, huh? What’s with that love marks? Looks like you’re happy you got that”
“NO!” she shouted but than her voice calm again. “no… I’m not”
Tiffany sighed heavily as she bit her inside of cheek. She can’t take it any longer, she can’t pretend like she can manage her tears to not flow down her cheek.
“Jessi, it’s… hurt if you wanna know”
Tiffany voice tremble, her hands shaking, heart aching uncontrollably, this is just too hurt to stand. Tiffany isn’t the kind of girl who can hate a person that easily - she was a kind girl - especially her girlfriend. This is because she loves Jessica too much so she got all this kind of hurt.
“I… should the one who gave those love marks. I haven’t done it yet but… but there is… someone…” Tiffany sobbing, facing Jessica. “I-I can’t take this anymore”
“Fany…” she took Tiffany’s hand. “Fany… I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry”
“who is that? The one who gave you the love marks?”
Jessica gulped. She didn’t want Tiffany know that the love marks was Gyuri’s but she can’t lie to her girlfriend. She lowered her head, sweat all around her body.
“Gyuri” she whispered.
Tiffany cried even more. All people around them started to watch the ‘drama’ in front of their face. The Ice Princess Jessica Jung and her pity pretty girlfriend Tiffany Hwang. Tiffany sighed.
“maybe… she can be better than me. She… she is… love you, maybe more than I do”
“what are you talking about?” Jessica frowned. Her heart stopped. “you aren’t…”
“we are different but you and Gyuri has the same level. Both of you were rich, pretty, stunning, all people want you guys to be their girlfriend, all people adore you so much…”
“don’t say that…”
“but look at me, Jessi… who am I? I’m just your driver’s daughter. You deserve someone better than me…”
“Fany please stop”
“I’m just… a shame for you. I have nothing, I don’t have property, I don’t have anything. Look at Gyuri now… she was just… just…” her tears flooded even more. “perfect for you” she end it with just a whisper as she looked down her feet.
“Fany I-“
“let’s break up”
Gasps can be heard from everyone around them, most of them covered their mouth and some of them even cried too.
“w-what?” Jessica’s body become so weak as if she didn’t eat and sleep for a years.
“let’s b-break up” Tiffany said it again but still looked down her feet.
“no… I d-don’t want to…” Jessica’s face looks so shock, sad, hurt and scare at the same time. “p-please…”
“I’m sorry, Jess”
Tiffany let go of her hand and stepped aback. She ran leaving Jessica behind her and gone in sight.
“NO!” she shouted. “Fany please!!” but she can’t saw Tiffany again. “FANY!!!!”
