Chap 9 (1/1)
JESSICA’S POV Taeyeon and I decided to look around the shopping center while waiting for Tiffany and Yuri. We stopped at one of the clothing store. The store wasn’t empty but wasn’t crowded either. It was just there were some people here and there inside the store. I started to browse shirts and pants but nothing interest me. Until I saw at one particular yellow dress that caught my attention. The dress wasn’t like any other dresses, the dress is yellow and a little bit of white on top of the dress with a ribbon in the middle. I walked passing all the clothes and didn’t play attention to the people around me. I was about to grab the dress from the hanger when I felt someone tapped my shoulder. “Jessica? Is that you?” asked the person who tapped my shoulder. ‘Why did I feel a bad vibe about it?’ I said in my mind and frowned while turning around. She had a long hair, her skin so smooth like cotton and healthy like a model. She was also tall, much taller than me but obviously taller than Taeyeon. She was so pretty like an angel, also a perfect girl that everyone wanted. ‘I felt lucky to see such a beautiful creature like her.’ I thought. She smiled at me. Suddenly, she pulled me into tight embrace breaking my thought. The hug was so tight, making me harder to breath. I can smell her nice perfume. It wasn’t strong more likely a sweet scent, very nice indeed. ‘Who is she?’ I asked myself while looking around the store, searching for Taeyeon. “Oh My Gosh, Jessica! How are you?” asked the lady with a bright smile on her face while looking at me up and down. I smirked, “I’m fine.” I looked at her and tried to remember. But nothing came to my mind. I kept looking for Taeyeon’s presence but no sight of her. Just when I was about to stop looking, I saw her starting to walk to my direction slowly. I felt a little bit grateful. I looked back at the lady and frowned when I can’t remember her name. “You don’t remember me. Do you?” she asked, looking sad. “Jessica, who are you tal-----“ Taeyeon stopped before she finished when she saw the lady’s face. She then stopped in her place, frozen for a second. “Taeyeon?” asked the pretty lady, looking at Taeyeon. Taeyeon nodded while smiling forcefully, “Hi.. Um.. Hi.. Yo-Yoona.” I looked at Taeyeon and frowned. What’s wrong with her? Taeyeon usually not like this when she saw pretty girl. I felt like player Taeyeon suddenly disappear into the thin air. We just stood there in the middle of the room with no word came out from our mouth and just looking at each other. After a second of staring at the lady, her phone ringing and breaking our staring session. “Hello?” answered the lady while holding her phone on her ear. She looked at Taeyeon and I while showing her index finger, “A minute.” She whispered to us. She smiled and turned around, her back facing us. …. “Alright. I’m close. Coming. Bye.” Said the lady, hung up the phone. She put her phone inside her bag and smiled at us, “I gotta go guys. See you next time.” She kissed my cheek and left the store. ~~0~~ After half an hour walking around the shopping center without any direction together with Taeyeon. We walked back to the coffee shop where we left Tiffany and Yuri. I didn’t ask Taeyeon about the lady or any topic related to her. I wanted to remember myself. I didn’t pay attention to my surrounding or people nearby because I was busy thinking about that girl. I wanted to remember about her, myself. Just when I was about to forget about her, Taeyeon stopped and we bumped into each other. “Hide! Hide! Hide!” Taeyeon interrupted my thoughts while holding my wrist. We hide behind the big pillar because she thought it was the closest place to hide. “Why? Why do we have to hide?” I asked, confused. Taeyeon peeked and I followed, “look at two tables beside tiffany’s. Guess who?” I looked at two tables beside tiffany and gasped, “That girl again?” I paused,“What was her name? I forgot.” “Y-you don’t r-remember her?” Taeyeon asked, while still looking at the lady. “No.” I answered. “And why should I remember?” I frowned because I can’t remember anything related to her. Taeyeon and I stood there while watching the lady from behind the pillar because we didn’t want the lady to spot and create trouble for us. We were busy keeping an eye on the lady when I realized that T
