Jessie heart was stuck in her throat, as she watched the door slowly open. She struggled to breath but found she couldn't, stepping back slowly her flailing arms found a lamp and she held that in front of her as some shield or a weapon as the need would arise. Her heart thumped faster and louder so much so that was all she heard. The footsteps were rapid and fast but at that moment to her they were slow and dreaded. Now she knew how it felt to be preyed upon, to feel absolute terror, terror that came from knowledge, knowledge of impending danger, danger that couldn't be avoided.

As soon as the figure behind the door came into full view all that fear was replaced by genuine shock and total confusion. She couldn't be this lucky right?

​​

"Mr Kang?" She managed to choke out.

Jonathan eyes widened when he saw the lamp in her grasp, walking over quickly he slowly took it out of her hands. "Are you okay?"

Jessie still frozen from shock nodded her head slowly. "How are you here? I don't understand." She shook her head.

"It doesn't matter now, just come with me. Quickly." He said.

Jessie blinked at him, unmoving. Not that she didn't trust him, but to be honest she was waiting for someone else.

"Jessie? Come." Jonathan stated again.

"W-where?" She stuttered.

"Some place safe?" Jonathan stated bluntly, looking at her with a concerned expression. "There are people after you, isn't that why you're hiding?"

Suddenly Jessie's brain began to work again and she nodded. "Did you see them?"

"Yes, so we need to get out of her right now." He informed her. "You can't go out like that, here take my jacket." He said.

Jessie nodded, it would be better to disguise herself. She pulled out Jason's sandals from her purse and tossed the heels aside. Removing the bob wig from her head she pulled out the cap she wore earlier and put that on. Jonathan eyes widened a little when he saw her hair but he didn't say anything. She put on his jacket and if she thought Jason's clothes were long then this was just wrong. His jacket almost came down to her knees. She wasn't a short woman, she stood around 5'9 but with Jonathan she felt incredibly short.

"Let's go." He said.

She nodded yet again, seeing as words kept failing her, and made way with him towards the door before she stopped abruptly.

"I'll be there immediately, please stay safe and don't so anything stupid. If you can don't move, stay hidden. I promise to come find you."

"I can't... I'm supposed to be waiting for someone to come get me." She said.

"Who? The person you told be about the last time? Your guardian?" Jonathan asked.

"More like my... he's not my guardian I'm not a child, he's just... I need to wait for him." She insisted.

"Jessie I get your hesitation and how difficult it must be for you to trust me right now, but if you don't come with me right now. I'm not very sure I can protect you from the people after you." He said.

"Bu-"

"Don't worry, you'll call him and inform him your whereabouts when your someplace safe. Okay?" She nodded and he took her hand in his and pulled her out of the room. They kept a low profile and managed to sneak out of the spa quietly.

"Where are we going now?" She asked as the stepped out of the spa. Before they could answer the heard a voice yelling.

"She's gone, and quite recently she most be outside!"

Jonathan grabbed her arms again and pulled her into a run, Jessie struggled to keep up with his long legs.

"Over here!" Someone yelled from behind a building. And Jonathan ran to the girl.

"It's okay, I know her, we can trust her." He said noticing Jessie's resistance. When they were safely hidden in an alley, Jessie bent over her knees panting hard.

"Are they still chasing after us?" She asked Jonathan, who went to look.

"No, I can't see anyone. I go get my car, okay?" She nodded. "Krystal will keep you company." He stated walking off.

Jessie looked at the woman in front of her, staring. She looked incredibly young, that at first glance she mistook her for a teenager. But though she might not be one, she looked like she was just fresh out of that faze, even still having some baby fat around her cheeks.

"Hi, I'm-"

"I know who you are." She blurted out, biting her lips. "I... I just, I-I can't believe..you're alive!" She squealed hugging Jessie.

Jessie stood with her hands hanging idly by her sides, unsure of what to do. Krystal held on tighter unable to move away. She couldn't believe it, she did believe it but still... having her right in front of your eyes. This was a woman she idolized every day of her life. The woman whose movies gave her a release and an escape from the crappy life she had. Because of her love for this woman she met an amazing community of people that she had never met in person but people that cared for her because they shared the same love and admiration for this woman. And here she was right before her eyes!

"Um.. I'm sorry, I-I can't br-breathe" Jessie said.

"Oh, I'm sorry" Krystal pulled away, wiping her eyes. "I'm so sorry, are you okay?"

Jessie gave her a small smile and nodded. "What's your name? Krystal?"

Krystal nodded, eagerly. Her sister would die if she knew who she was standing before this moment.

"I'm such a huge fan! You have no idea, I love all your shows. My first one was the 'Moonlight tales' but that isn't my favourite, I can't have a favourite with you, you're just so good! How do you manage to have chemistry with every male lead? It so surreal!" Krystal rambled.

Jessie was overwhelmed at first then she began to laugh, 'Wow, I didn't think I still had fans' she mused. She laughed so hard, that tears began to fall, at this point Krystal had stopped talking and watched her with slight shock on her face as her laughter turned into sobs.

Jessie face went into her plams as she cried, yet again. Krystal frowned not knowing what to do.

"What happened?" Jonathan asked alarmed, he quickly rushed over to Jessie and pulled her into a hug, tapping her back gently.

"What did you do?" He asked Krystal in an audible whisper.

"I... I don't know." Krystal replied.

"You must have done something, what did you say?" Jonathan asked more forcefully than he intended.

"She didn't do anything" Jessie said, pulling away from his embrace, she turned around and pulled Krystal into a hug instead. "Thank you so much, thank you for believing in me and not hating me." She said.

Krystal heart leapt out of her chest. 'Mother, father, if I die now I have no regrets!'
