"Ryeowook oppa, are you okay?" Yoona turned and looked at me. Donghae did the same. Both were staring at me as if there was something wrong with me... And to be honest I thought that there really was something wrong with me... Just the sound of Jessica Jung's name made a bunch of memories fill my mind. Memories I'd spent the past two years trying to forget...

"His face looks pale all of a sudden... I don't know if he's okay?" Donghae spoke with Yoona as if I wasn't there. And to be honest, I felt like I wasn't really with them at that moment. My mind was definitely wandering in the past. 

Jessica and I had been a couple during college. We'd been named the "cutest" couple because we were both really childish. We'd been very in love... But after college, I had to do the mandatory enlistment into the military and Jessica had gone all psycho. She thought that I'd be leaving her forever. I promised her that we'd be together when I returned from the military, but Jessica wasn't sure if she could really wait that long... So instead, we'd gotten into many fights and eventually I'd left for the military. I wasn't sure if she'd come to see me off so I waited for her, but she never came. That was when I knew that we were most definitely over. 

But now, just the sound of her name... Was making me feel weird... Like my heart still had her in it. Had I not let go of her? After all these years? I came back to my senses and glanced from Yoona to Donghae. I realized where I was and what was going on. "I just got bit side-tracked..." I smiled at both of them. "And you were saying?"

Yoona had a concerned look on her face, "Oppa? Are you really okay?" She stood up and walked over to my side to feel my temperature. 

Before she could place her hand onto my forehead, I took hold of her hand and smiled reassuringly at her, "I'm okay..." I stood up so that Yoona and I were face to face. "I think I'll be leaving first. I just remembered something I have to do." I glanced over at Donghae. "You two should continue talking..." I walked out of the agency. From behind, I could tell that Yoona and Donghae were both watching as I left. 

<3

I arrived home and plopped down on my bed. I remembered having lots of stuff from Jessica, but I'd left all of it in America. There was one thing from Jessica that I still had with me: a down jacket. It'd been cold these past winters and just wearing this one coat had been enough for me... I got up and went to my closet and reached into the back of it. It was getting colder day by day, but it was not quite appropriate to be wearing a down coat now, even though it was winter. 

I held the coat close remembering the memory of that love I once had. I felt a great warmth from hugging the jacket. My hand crept to a pocket and sank into it. I was surprised when I felt something in my pocket. I pulled it out and discovered a small box. I placed the jacket down and opened the small box. Inside were two rings. Two years ago, I had wanted to propose to her and marry her. How had I forgotten the rings in my winter coat? I looked at the shiny diamond on the ring for the woman, seeing a faint memory. 

I closed the box and placed onto my desk. I didn't want to admit it, but I felt like I missed Jessica... This gave me a sick feeling in my stomach. I was with a Yoona now, the woman I'd always wanted to be with... But why was I thinking of my ex instead? I was in a happy relationship now, so why was I dwelling on my past relationship instead? As I was in confusion, the doorbell rang. I slowly looked up, coming back to my senses and walked over to the door. 

I opened the door and found Yoona was standing there. "Oppa!" Yoona smiled a big smile at me and waved. Her expression quickly changed when she saw the confused expression on my face. 

"What's wrong, oppa?" She came closer to me and touched my arm. 

I winced a slightly. Yoona could tell that I was on the edge of my feet. The look on her face showed that she really cared. "Tell me about it." 

I stepped aside to let Yoona in and then closed the door. I stood face-to-face with Yoona. It was my turn to speak. It was time to tell her what it was that was bothering me. I stared straight into her eyes. "Yoona, that woman Donghae is talking about... Jessica Jung..." I paused for a second so that I could take a deep breath. Then I continued, "She's my ex-girlfriend."
