"Oppa, are you.. alright lately?" 

Changmin looked up, and saw Jessica looking at him with a concerned expression. 

"Ah, yeah." 

"Oppa.. even though we're over, we're still friends. Is something wrong?" 

"Just.. tired." 

Jessica sensed the indifference in his tone, and honestly, it hurt her. No doubt they were over, but she knew she loved this man still, all these years. The fact that he came up to the rooftop of the company building when he was tired, gave her a twinge of hope that he was still the Changmin years ago. 

"Oppa, i-" 

"Sica, i'm really fine. I have to go for dance practice now. I'll see you around." Changmin interrupted and left.

"I just wanted to say congratulations."Jessica muttered as she watched him left.

Upon hearing that, she removed her hands from his grip and looked away. 

"It's just meeting them, baby." 

"Changmin.."Rane shook her head. 

He sighed again when he reached the corridor towards the dance room. 

When he finally opened the door to the room, he sweared for that moment he forgot the reason why he was there. When he saw who was laughing with his brothers. 

Rane. 

"Oh you're here." The leader voiced out and all five of them looked at him. Man, he knew he was the only one in the dark about her presence. And he was not very appreciative about that. Instead of hugging her like she expected when he saw her, he closed the door and walked away. 

Her turn to sigh. Looking up to Yoochun, she gave him a worried expression. 

"He'
