Chapter 58: Date? (Part 1)
Perfect for MeDonghae and Jessica sat in Donghae's car as he drove to the destination he wanted to bring her to. The only noise in the car was the radio playing Super Junior Kyuhyun's 'A Million Pieces'. The slow but harmonic song made Jessica's mind go blank. She'd watched the MV. It had been interesting like a story. It was just upsetting when the woman was not able to go to the last destination, whère Kyuhyun waited for her. The heart-breaking ending had made Jessica cry a little bit.
Jessica tried to remember all the times when her and Donghae had been so much closer. They'd dated in high school and then, Jessica had believed that they'd be together forever... But when they had to break up when becoming idols, it was a hard sacrifice to break up with Donghae. But he had to do the same, so they'd made a fair agreement. Jessica and Donghae had agreed to go back to being together once their idol careers were over, but now... Jessica wasn't too sure whether or not it was the same anymore. During the time Jessica had been in SNSD, she was sure of it, but now that she was no longer in SNSD, she wasn't so sure.
'A Million Pieces' came to an end and SNSD's 'Lion Heart' came on. Donghae glanced over at Jessica to see her face. Should he change the music channel? He wasn't sure if Jessica even listened to SNSD anymore... He wasn't even sure what had happened between Jessica and SNSD. He placed his hand on the radio to change the channel, but Jessica put her hand on his.
"It's okay." She smiled reassuringly at Donghae. Donghae could sense Jessica watching him as he drove. "I haven't been able to tell anyone... After I left SNSD..."
Donghae parked the car. They'd arrived at the destination. They were at Donghae and Jessica's high school. The gates were closed and the lights were on, but other than the lights, it was completely dark. But Donghae could still see Jessica as she got out of the car. He got out with her and walked over to her side. "What do you want to tell me?"
Jessica leaned against the fence and gave Donghae the saddest face Donghae had ever seen. "It was my fault. I wanted too many things... I wanted to be successful in my fashion dream and I also wanted to continue to be one of the girls. I still wanted to be a part of SNSD. But I guess I was too indecisive about what I really wanted. I wanted two different things at the same time. It was hard to choose, I knew I'd have to give up one to get the other."
"All I wanted was a small break from the band while I sorted my feelings about singing and fashion. I love singing, but I'm also crazy about fashion too."
Donghae didn't know what to say. Slowly he put his arms around Jessica and embraced her closely. He knew that she was sad... And this made him even more upset.
