After 7 years

Jessica stepped again to her homeland, Seoul, Korea. It’s been years since she left, it’s been years since she run away after her heart got broken, well she just went back for business proposal of Vogue, Korea and her agency in California assigned her since she is a Korean, it is easy for her to deal with people who has same native tongue as hers. As she leaves, she leaves her family, friends and old self too, the bubbly and lively girl next door, now become the braver, bolder and fiercer Jessica Jung.

She didn’t waste any time as she arrive at the office, the employees of Vogue Korea, immediately noticed her, who wouldn’t right? One of the most successful Korean abroad, As a top fashion blogger, writer and stylist of Hollywood celebrities, the employees bowed in unison as Jessica didn’t bother to smile or look to the employees, she just walk straight where the secretary of Choi SeungHyun Sr. bring her

As the door opened, a young man who is busy presenting the monthly sales of their magazines, was shocked to see her, the girl he loves, the girl he hurt the most

“Are you starting without me?” Jessica said with a high class tone

The room got tensed, even the successful stockholders got intimidate with her presence, knowing that SHE is more successful, wealthier and having wider range of connections here and abroad

 “Oh, Ms. Jung… glad you came…” Mr. Choi SeungHyun Sr. greeted her

“Who said I wouldn’t come, Mr. Choi… it will be useless if I didn’t right?” she said while walking to the chair, exactly as SeungHyun Jr.’s chair, the chair of Vogue Korea’s Director

She sat comfortably as she cross her slender and fit legs

“So Mr. Director, wouldn't you mind to start again?” she commanded

“Araso…” SeungHyun Jr. said while beads of sweat started wet his forehead, he can say no even though he is half way of his report, because they need her approval for their upcoming issue, it is to be their cover for the upcoming April Issue, it will be big because she became an inspiration for those people who dreamt big

The meeting ended and the people inside the room bid their goodbye as Choi Sr. said the most incredible thing in Jessica’s ears

“I think son, you must talk to Ms. Jung first, for our request…” Mr. Choi Sr. said between the lines

Jessica looked at the old Choi in disbelief, she was about to protest but Mr. Choi Sr. is fast enough

“She is free… her schedule is free so I think this is the great opportunity…” Mr. Choi Sr. said before he closes the door leaving the two ex-lovers inside the room

SeungHyun sat on the chair across Jessica, Jessica is just looking at him straight, he felt he tensed up because of her constant glare, he is so ashamed of himself that he can still show his face to her after what he did to her a few years back, and he betrayed her.

“How are you?” SeungHyun started

Jessica raised an eyebrow “You are asking me if how am I? Of course fabulous... how about you Mr. Choi?” she asked as she place her elbow in the table and leaned forward

“I’m fine t….” he said but interrupted again by her

“Then fine… I have to go… let’s not waste our time with this nonsense conversation…” she said as she stood up

They looked at each other intensely, SeungHyun can’t help how she was affected by what he did, she did change, and she did change in a better yet worse way

“I’m sorry from what I did to make you like that…”he apologized

Jessica got irritated from what she hears from him, she slammed her palm into the glass table and move forward to him

 “It has nothing to do with you Mr. Choi… NOTHING!!!” she fierce fully said

“I’m sorry…” SeungHyun only muttered seeing how angry she is

Jessica straightens up till looking at him “You didn’t even change… you are still the insensitive and hypocrite SeungHyun that I know…” she insulted him in a calm but sharp tone

SeungHyun just looked at her, he wanted to hug her and ask for her forgiveness but seeing her like this make him concludes that he needs to earn her trust again

It takes minutes before Jessica pick up her bag and went straight outside of the conference room, SeungHyun stood up and run to her, they are like cat and mouse in the parking a lot people looked at them curiously as they pass by on them

“Wait… I said wait…” SeungHyun said as he caught up her arms

As Jessica turned around she slapped SeungHyun in his face but still he is holding her arms

“If that’s make you satisfy then hit me…hit me more… I deserve those anyway…” He provoked her to hit him again

Jessica got her arm and swiftly slapped him again in his face “ You are right you deserve it…” she said before she went inside of her car and swiftly revved up leaving the dumbfounded SeungHyun

After that incident, Jessica still attended the meetings like nothing happen a few days ago, and this meeting is surely make her pass her limits with SeungHyun, just by looking at him made her very irritable, Jessica listens to the photographer down to the stylist who will she works-with with her cover this coming April issue, she thought that it is finish but SeungHyun stood up and started his talk, he was just at the beginning when Jessica rudely interrupted him

“Can you summarize it, my dear…I don’t give a DAMN with your long whatsoever talk, I actually have a date, I don’t want him to wait.” She said in English causing the others to have an earbleed and nosebleed, well not literally

Date…

That four letter word bangs SeungHyun’s heart... ing HARD

Jessica just crossed her arms upon waiting for him to wrap his talk

“So? Are you going to…” she talked frankly

“Thank you… you may go…” SeungHyun interrupted as started to fix his laptop that connected to the big screen

Jessica slowly stood up and looked at SeungHyun from head to toe before a smirk formed in her lips, she knows when SeungHyun is jealous, and he is absolutely jealous right now, he deserves it anyway, she left with victory

Right now Jessica is in the middle of a date, not really a date but a catching up drinking event with her friend in college, Kwon JiYong, they talked everything that happened when she is away, Jessica was fascinated on how JiYong change so much, from the typical playboy into a fine serious young lad, and she is surprise that he still single despite of having good looks, wealth and humor, well maybe he is too picky

“Are you still single?” he asked in English

“Why are you going to hit on me…?” she playfully asked

“Who wouldn’t, every man in this world would die for a woman like you…” he said as he touches her hand

“Oppa, still having that sweet tongue…” She said before they laugh with their flirting mode

But JiYong never hit on her; she was like a real sister to him since they both knew each other since childhood, yes he admit, there is a point he fell in love to her but he let go since he knew that Jessica doesn’t like that, and he knows since day one that she just look at him like an oppa nothing else, JiYong was just mesmerize on what he is seeing right now

“You know what you still had it…” he sweetly said to his dear dongsaeng

“Have what?” she curiously ask

“Even you went away for how many years, you still have that child in you, sweet smile, cute laugh and still beautiful as ever…” he said now in a serious tone

Jessica blushed as she hears what he says; she looked into his eyes and it express sincerity until a man went to their table

“JiYong-ah, how are you man?” a deep voice interrupted

They gave each other a brotherly hug and as the man looked at his friend date, he felt like cold water thrown to him, he was speechless, he felt again that his chest tightens, his heart aches seeing her with another man but what can he do, he hurt her in the past and now karma is getting back at him

But that was Jessica thought, she thought that she was winning until another familiar voice join in their awkward world

“JiYong Oppa” a husky yet bubbly voice calls

JiYong stood up and made his way to the girl, he didn’t knew that she was with SeungHyun

“Ah, Tiffany, long time no see…”JiYong said while she give her oppa a hug too

As they both let go

“So oppa, who is this lucky girl? “ Tiffany asked as she looks curiously and excited to meet her

Jessica composes herself before she stood up, turned her body to her three old childhood friends

“Hello, Tiffany…” she greeted  the person, her best friend who betrayed her with a sharp tone
