“You at move on” Wooyoung laughed when Taecyeon read some news about idol marriage

“Should we remind you about the moment you getting sad whenever her dating news came out?” Nichkhun added

“Gosh, stop mocking me” Taecyeon shook his head just to get another laughter from the others

“Anyway you will came into Mr. Park’s party?” Wooyoung asked

“Yeah, as in there are many business and idol-business there. I should learn for them” Taecyeon replied simply

“And meet her” Nichkhun laughed again before stood from his seat “Pass my hello if you meet her”

Waiting for the time to pass you by
Hope the winds of change will change your mind
I could give a thousand reasons why
And I know you, and you've got to
 

Taecyeon POV

The party itself is being usual. As a popular idol, I already mingle with the crowd and talking casually with the other guest as well

“How was the business going, Taec?” Jang Geun Suk approached me when I’m still talking with other female guests

“Hyung!” I beamed a wide smile “It’s fine, how about you?”

“Pretty well. I heard you will enlisted next year?”

“Yeah, on the summer maybe”

“Good luck, Dude!” Geun Suk smiled again. It made me remember my old day when I was so close with one member of girl group and this Hyung too. He was close with Yoona as his co-actor on the drama

Ah, I’m not so close with Yoona. We just brother-sister, nothing more

I was talking about another member

“Oh, Jessica Jung is coming with Irene Kim” said Ha Ji Won while looking at the entrance. Two goddess are entering the place with black and white theme, Jessica in black when Irene with her white long dress

“She’s becoming more beautiful after 2014” Geun Suk said while drinking his wine “Tyler Kwon is very lucky man, for having her. Look at her curve!”

I turned my head to Geun Suk who drooling over Jessica. I felt nauseous when someone talking so dirty about her

Even though we have no relationship again

I sighed when staring at her. She looks tired but still smiling widely to the others. But wait, where’s Tyler? Her rumored boyfriend

My peripheral view still catching her sight, while I’m still having conversation with Ha Ji Won. She also turned her head, little bit, to my position

Even from her side profile. She still gorgeous as well

Make it on your own, but we don't have to grow up
We can stay forever young
Living on my sofa, drinking rum and cola
Underneath the rising sun
I could give a thousand reasons why
But you're going, and you know that
 

“Taec” finally she’s walking into me “How are you?”

“I’m fine” I replied simply but still beaming my wide smile “You look gorgeous tonight”

“Thanks” she hung her head down before chuckled

Do I see wrong? She’s blushing because of me?

“Irene said our outfit today was like couple thing” she said while fidgeting her fingers. I always found Jessica’s little details like that is very cute. She rarely showing the side to the public but I knew her so much

I know her so much

“Really?” I looking from up to down. She’s wearing short dress with classy accent over her shoulders and her chest. I’m wearing black suit without the tie and with a little white touch on the corner “It’s good. Anyway, I’m fine. How about you?”

“Like usual. How was your business?”

“Pretty well, but Blanc & Eclare is the best nowadays”

“Thanks” she’s chuckled

“Hmm, where’s Tyler?” I asked her while sipping my drink. Her face turned from bright into gloom. I realized that, but I’m trying to not affected by her frown

“He’s busy”

Oh maybe she’s sad because her boyfriend wasn’t here

“Sica! Oh Taecyeon!” suddenly Seungri comes into us. Typical Seungri, he’s so adorable and kind to other female idols. He wrapped his arm into Jessica’s waist and ignored my shocking eyes

“Hey Seungri. I was looking for you” Jessica smiled and not bothered by Seungri’s bold action, is it really their habit?

After 5 seconds of awkwardness, I decided to leaving them. Jessica knows that I’m being uncomfortable, so she holds my hand before I turned my body. She mouthed talk to you later and I just nodded in response, let her occupied by Seungri.

I left her to meet Ha Ji Won and other guests again. We talk again, without realizing that the time already up

“Thanks for tonight, I would like to appreciate every one of you” Mr. Park bowed from the stage when the guests slowly dismissed. I’m looking for Jessica, when suddenly someone tapped my shoulder

“Hey”

“Oh, hey” I turned around and found Jessica already behind me. She’s still stunning even though it’s already late

Jessica was about to open when Irene Kim approached her. She said that she will go home and asked Jessica if she wanted to go home with her or not, because actually they came together. Jessica tore her gaze into me, looking for an answer when I said something which makes Irene let her smirk

“Jessica will be going home with me, Irene-ssi. Don’t worry”

“Okay” Irene smiled before waved her hand to us

She looks awkward when Irene finally left us. Thought that she’s waiting for me to talk first, suddenly I felt her eyes looking at me

“So, should we go somewhere?” she asked

“Han River?”

“Seems good” she nodded and waiting for me to walk first. Despite our awkwardness, I found that she need someone to talk about. Maybe about her problem, but what? What kind of problem she had?

All you have to do is stay a minute
Just take your time
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is wait a second
Your hands on mine
The clock is ticking, so stay

We arrived at the Han River within minutes. The weather is chill, I saw Jessica is shivering after getting down from my car. I took the coat which placed on the backseat and put around her shoulders. She jolted but returned with a big smile attached on her face

We talking casually while strolling at the riverside. She told me about the Blanc & Eclare also her newest album. I said to her that it was so hard for finding the album

“Really?”

“With your signature” I joked when she punches my arm lightly

“You want it?”

“At least I want one with your signature, Jessi” I smiled when addressed her nickname. She returned with a big smile on her face

I admit that maybe I miss her smile so much

No

I miss her so much

All you have to do is... uh
All you have to do is stay

Maybe, just maybe because I was too coward last time. When she said to me for staying, I decided to ran away

When I told her that I couldn’t live without her, she’s already left me completely

I hate the reason why we broke up, but I hate myself more because I can’t stay when she requested to

And now, I’m having my time again after all these years. Together and we enjoy each other company while walking at the riverside

“Why were you coming with Irene Kim?” I asked when we just stayed silent after the conversation

“Just because I’m too lazy came alone”

“Where’s your… hmm… Boyfriend?”

“Who?” she stopped her track and turned her head into me “Who is y boyfriend?”

“Tyler Kwon?”

“I never expected you also believe that rumor”

My eyes grew wider as Jessica sighed. Rumor? Is that really just a rumor? I don’t believe that. Maybe it’s because Jessica won’t make me awkward

“I don’t have any boyfriend at this moment” Jessica tore her gaze to the river “I thought it will be safe from me if I just agreed for being his girlfriend. Tyler also didn’t mind. He always sees me as his sister, so does my family”

“Why?” I asked

“I don’t know” Jessica shrugged her shoulders “Maybe I won’t be in relationship which just makes me burdened”

 

Won't admit what I already know
I've never been the best at letting go
I don't wanna spend the night alone
Guess I need you, and I need to

“How are you with your girls? Seems after me you went with so many girls”

“We just friends” I said “Because I’m at letting go”

She turned her gaze to me. Unconsciously, I grab her face in the cheeks and moving closer to meet her lips. The moment after our lips met is Jessica slapped me hard

“What the…” she cursed under her breath “What are you doing, Ok Taecyeon!”

I saw her eyes already full of tears. I was hesitated when wiped her tears but she let it go

“I’m sorry…” I whispered “I should stay if you said so. I should never let you go”

“We’re over, Taec”

“No… We are not. We never had a proper break up”

“Should we meet again to talk about our break up? Seriously Taec”

“Jessi, I…”

“Don’t…” she covers my mouth with her palm “Don’t say anything useless for now. Take me home or I will call Krystal for picking me up”

 
Make it on my own, but I don't wanna grow up
We can stay forever young
Living on my sofa, drinking rum and cola
Underneath the rising sun
I could give a million reasons why
But you're going, and you know that

“You kissed her?!” Nichkhun jumped from his seat after I told him the whole story which happened last night

“Seems like, I forced her” I scrubbed my hair in frustration. The trip to her home was deadly silent. She even refused my hand when I helped her down from my car

“You are soooooooo….” Wooyoung who suddenly joined us thinking deeply before continuing his words “Crazy”

“I know right” Chansung chuckled when offered me Cola

“You are very at moving on” Nichkhun shook his head “When you heard she’s single, do you think you got the chance, huh?”

“Why are you never telling me about Jessica when you still with Tiffany” I frowned to the Thai guy who laughing

“You never ask”

“I think your sorry last time wasn’t enough, Taec” said Wooyoung “You should tell her again”

“And let him slapped by Jessica again?” Chansung giggled

“Maybe he deserves it” Wooyoung added and joining Chansung’s laughter

“You know…” Nichkhun shrugged before taking the cans beside him “All you have to do is stay”

All you have to do is stay a minute
Just take your time
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is wait a second
Your hands on mine
The clock is ticking, so stay

I waited for Junho in the front of KBS building. He told me for picking him up because his car is broke at that time

“Sorry” Junho knocks his glass and put his belonging at the backseat “It’s not supposed to be long”

“It’s okay, Dude”

“I’m starving, duh” Junho chuckled as he already sat and buckled the seatbelt “Anyway…”

He suddenly took a piece of paper and handed to me. It’s looks like someone number

“Jessica’s private number”

“How come…”

“I have my way” he laughed “Wooyoung told me the story and I knew right, I’m still the one who shipping you”

“Geez” I took the paper and scanned the number “She’s changed her number…”

“She had the reason” Junho shrugged “Let’s having dinner with JunK and Nickhun, they are having jajangmyeon right now”

“Okay…” I smiled to him before turning the engine on

All you have to do is... uh
All you have to do is stay

I walk back and forth on my room. Debating whether I call Jessica and asked her for a coffee and say sorry or not

Nichkhun’s words always ringing in my head

Stay? What kind of stay I should take?

Stay with her or stay like this?

Gosh, I hate this situation

Okay, Taecyeon you are the big man. You will ask sorry from her and maybe if necessary, you can have her coffee

Finally, I entered her number to my dial pad and waiting for the answer. It’s still 7 PM, so she wouldn’t be sleep at that time

“Hello…” a soft voice come into my phone “Who is it?”

“Jessi… It’s me Taecyeon”

“Oh”

“Can we meet?”

A short delay on our conversation makes my stomach tighten. I was very nervous back then when Jessica mad or she’s getting bad mood

Same as now

“Do you want to meet me at my apartment? I just arrived from my schedule and I’s so tired right now”

“Okay, no problem. Text me your address. I will bring you green tea latte”

“Wait a minute”

All you have to do is stay
So stay
Yeah

“Is the security hard for you?” Jessica asked as she let me in to her luxurious apartment, no this is penthouse

“They even asked for my ID” I faked a pout

“Sorry” Jessica laughed “So, what’s wrong?”

“About last kiss” I shuttered as placed her drink at the coffee table “I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay” she replied simply “I just shocked for a while”

She took her cup and drinking slowly, left me gulped at everything she did

Oh no, invited me to her house it’s like

“Taec?”

“Ah…” I snapped back “Yeah?”

“Thanks for the latte” she gestured to the cup “I do like it”

“You are welcome. Thanks for forgiving me...”

She chuckled and smirked “I’m serious, do you still see me as before?”

“What…?”

I don’t even finish my words because Jessica already kiss my lips. She cupped my face and nibbled my lips gently

“Please, stay…” she whispered

All you have to do is stay a minute
Just take your time
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is wait a second
Your hands on mine
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is stay
