I closed the door and turned to her. After being chosen that day, I didn't see her again, she was not even among those who were congratulating me.“And you stay in this crap?” She was looking around with judgy eyes.“Excuse me, but who are you?” I asked because I didn't even know her name.“I know you know who I am, I mean, before taking what's rightfully mine, you should have done some research.”“What?” I walked up to her. I knew she wanted the female lead role, but it was given to me now.“Just look at you, how could they choose you over me? I still wonder if the judges were drunk or if you had a one-night stand with Jun.”“I didn't sleep with anyone, I'm talented, and they saw that. Why can't you accept it and move on? You're a famous actress, and I'm sure you will be accepted and given the female lead role anywhere you go,” I advised. I didn't have time for her, as I still had my family to find.“I know, but do you think you can deliver? Do you think you will do better than me?”
“What are you doing here, and how did you find me?” I followed him, and Jade, being Jade, threw himself on the couch.“Is that how you welcome your friends?” He crossed his legs, took the TV remote, and switched between channels.“Jade, what are you doing here?” I asked in a serious tone.“I came to see you, aren't you happy to see me?” He asked, and I shook my head in disbelief. “And of course, since you left, I've been following your sister, and she was kind enough to lead me here,” he said as he stood up and walked to me. “I am hungry,” he added.“Does your uncle know I'm here?” “Uncle no, but I must say your leave left him heartbroken, but that is not why I am here, he shouldn't have married a woman that does not belong to him.”“Why are you here, Jade?” I asked, curious, and followed him to the kitchen, which he figured out on his own.“I am here for, oh, gosh, is this how you eat?” “What the hell are you doing here?” Jade got scared seeing Loren eat, while Loren got angry at h
“I think you have the wrong address,” Jade said, and I don't know what came over me as I decided to watch."No, I'm sure this is the right address, her name is Jessica,” Jun insisted.“There's no one named Jessica here, check the next door, man,” Jade said, trying to close the door, but Jun's hand was in the way."Man, I said...”
We were lost in each other's eyes for a second. I could see him leaning in for a kiss, and I closed my eyes. It's stupid, but I did. The thought of Clinton with Sophia didn't help either until a ball hit my legs. That's when I shot my eyes open, and surprisingly, Jade had his eyes open, staring at me.“Jade..”“I'm sorry, I didn't.”“It's not your fault.” I cut him and bent down to pick up the ball, which was still in b
~KOREA 2021~~JESSICA~“Hello? I'm home,” I said as I entered my apartment and kicked off my shoes, which landed on Jun, but being skilled, he luckily caught them. “At least the karate classes are put to work.”“You gotta stop doing that, what if the kids could be near?” He said and took steps towards me.“Good thing they were not near, where are they?” I asked as I walked past him, straight to the kitchen.“They are in their room, how did it go?” He asked, and I shot him a clueless look. “Your manager told me about it—the shoot with Jeeps.” He sounded uncomfortable.“Oh yeah, it was alright. I didn't like most of the pictures, but we managed to get two or three for the cover,” I said as I started making a sandwich.“Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, why don't you freshen up? I'm sure by the time you finish, I will also be done.”“Can I have the sandwich first? I'm so hungry,” I begged. He was against unhealthy eating, which reminded me of Clinton.“No unhealthy food, a proper mea
“What? Chris, is what?” I grabbed the phone from Jun's hands.“He was shot, Jess, he's in a coma but stable. I will call you if anything comes up, I have to go now.”“Please be strong, Chris will be fine,” I said, and she ended the call.“Are you okay?” Jun asked, and I nodded.
“I—I don't understand?” I stuttered. I was confused because Jun was shooting a movie, and I knew missing it was impossible. He walked to the bed, the kids were playing with my feet.“Lulu, Caleb, can you go make sure you packed all your toys?”"Okay, Pappa, Caleb, let us go,” Lulu said and jumped off the bed and ran out. Caleb followed her.“We are going together, I can't let you take my kids away,” he
~STATES 2021~~JESSICA~“Jessica!” Jun slightly shook me, and I broke out of my stare. “I think that's your sister's driver,” he said, and he pointed at a man who had an A4 sheet with Jun and my name written in red."Yes, he is,” I said, and we approached. The driver recognized us as he greeted us and opened the door for us as soon as we reached his side.“Do you want to stop by somewhere?”"No, thank you,” Jun responded while I rubbed sweat off Caleb and Lulu's foreheads. The drive was silent, with Jun looking out the window, it was his first time in the States. About thirty minutes later, we arrived at Loren's house, it was a little outside town. Caleb and Lulu were still asleep, I guess, because they were woken up early and it was already late in the night. I got out of the car first and took Lulu in my arms. “Is my sister home?” I asked the driver."Yes, Ms. Jessica,” he responded, and I nodded as I waited for Jun, who was taking long. Our luggage was still at the airport, so w
