Jessica waited impatiently for Jonghyun the next day. So impatiently that she didn't talk to Seohyun and Yoona. All she did was look out the window for any sign of Jonghyun and his spiky hair, Ray Bans, blue backpack, blue jacket, black jacket, white and red and blue jacket, whatever property of his. Jessica wanted to see Jonghyun so badly but he never came, much to her dismay.

"Dammit! He's not coming. I told him to come. Asshole!" she thought. Yoona and Seohyun tried to talk to her but she just didn't have the energy to do so.

"So how are you and Jonghyun?" asked Yoona with a smile.

"Fine." she answered not taking her gaze off the corridors.

"Have you kissed?" asked Seohyun.

"Yeah." Jessica could only manage one word answers. The clock struck 8 and she finally gave up on waiting for Jonghyun. She was convinced that he wasn't coming and because she missed him dearly, she preferred to just sit alone and do all things by herself. She distanced herself from her friends.

The first part of the morning was gloomy partly because of the weather, because winter break was about to come (tomorrow to be exact), and because Jonghyun wasn't coming.

The bell for recess rang. Yoona and Seohyun approached Jessica who was sleeping with her head on her desk.

"Hey Jessica, you coming with us?"

"No." she muffled.

"Okay." Seohyun and Yoona roamed around the campus while Jessica slept in the classroom. It got to the point where she was the only person in the room. She refused to eat, refused to talk to anyone, refused to anything but sleep and wait for Jonghyun. Jonghyun was all that mattered to her. He meant so much to her that she mumbled his name in her sleep.

Jessica hated to admit it but she changed so much since she and Jonghyun became a couple. Of course, not totally but bit by bit. Emotionally, she became very unstable. She started becoming really hot headed and impatient, especially towards her mother and her friends. She preferred Jonghyun's company though she'd tell Yoona and Seohyun that she loved them more than Jonghyun. Well her promise is about to be tested.

After 20 minutes, the Math teacher entered the room. Jessica woke up with her hair a mess and the classroom filled with students. She rolled her eyes and took her notebook out of her bag. She lazily took down notes and after two periods of Mathematics, she dropped her notebook and pen and head. She fell asleep on her desk once more. Missing Jonghyun was like hibernation. All she could do was sleep as it was the only way to counter crying.

Jessica hated it whenever her friends would talk about winter break and how they're so excited for it. Jessica couldn't see the point in being happy about 2 weeks worth of missing Jonghyun. What's more annoying was their monthsary or their first month together would fall some time during the winter break. The 26th to be exact. This made Jessica want to bang her head on the table more.

History class came in next. Jessica had a love-hate relationship with the subject but since she wasn't in the mood because she was missing Jonghyun, she just slept while the boring teacher did his thing. The teacher was so lenient that even if the entire class slept during his class, he wouldn't care. He just got back in tests, which Jessica would always pass.

Lunch time. Finally. It made Yoona and Seohyun happy as they finally got the break they wanted. They grabbed their lunch boxes and looked at Jessica who was still sleeping. They couldn't believe that someone could sleep for that long. They approached her and asked her if she was coming.

"I'm not coming. You go ahead."

"Why? Is Jonghyun here?" Yoona asked.

"What does it look like to you?" Jessica said with her head still down. Yoona and Seohyun just stared at her and left for the cafeteria. Jessica slept and slept.

Until someone tapped her shoulder…

It was Yuri! Yuri entered their classroom and tapped Jessica on the shoulder just when she was about to fall into a deep sleep again.

"Hey! Someone's looking for you." Yuri said.

"Great! Who could it be this time?" Jessica thought. She groggily got up with a frustrated and sleepy look on her face. She exited the classroom and a huge surprise greeted her.

It was Jonghyun! And Jessica's sleepiness disappeared. Jonghyun looked at her and pursed his lips together to smile his signature smile. He was wearing a purple polo and a white shirt underneath, match it with baggy denim pants. Jonghyun's Ray Bans were clipped on the collar of his shirt.

"Oh My God! I thought you wouldn't come!"

"I thought so, too. I came from a party and I went to the mall."

"Why did you go to the mall?"

"Wait here…" Jonghyun swiftly entered their classroom and came out with a big, blue gift bag in his hand. Jessica covered her mouth in shock. It was as if he proposed to her.

"Oh My Fucking…" Jessica took the big, blue gift bag by the rope handles and shook her head in excitement. "Thank you so much."

"That's why I couldn't come early. I went to the mall to buy you that. Merry Christmas and advanced happy monthsary!" he greeted with his signature grin.

"Thanks…oh my…I love you." Jessica shyly walked back to her classroom

"I love you, too." Jonghyun replied.

"I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah. See you. I love you."

"I love you, too." Jessica closed the door and quickly placed the bag behind her chair. She thought her friends wouldn't notice but she was dead wrong.

"So he came after all."

"Yeah he did."

"Wow. Why'd he get you that?"

"Christmas and monthsary. Long story."

Lunch time was over (Jessica spent 30 minutes sleeping and 10 minutes staring at Jonghyun) and everything was back to normal. Jessica couldn't wait to talk to Jonghyun after school. It was their last day before the winter break and Jessica wanted to make the most of it. She was inattentive all throughout the lesson and kept on looking out the window, waiting for Jonghyun. Finally, the bell rang and everyone yelled, threw their books and papers in the air. Jessica breathed a sigh of relief as she went around hugging everyone. Seohyun and Yoona excitedly bade her goodbye but Jessica just couldn't bring herself to be happy. She knew it was time for her to be missing Jonghyun and that was something she just couldn't bear. Not wanting to waste another minute, she ran to the next classroom while her friends were busy gathering their things and getting ready to go home. Jessica knocked on the door and peered through the windows but saw no Jonghyun. Just then, someone came up behind her and covered her eyes.

"Guess who?" the students from the other section cheered and squealed.

"This is Key." Jessica coyly said though she knew it wasn't.

"No."

"Alexander?"

"No. It's obvious, Jessica." the person who covered her eyes removed his hands from them.

And the obvious it was. Jonghyun.

"You going home now?" asked Jessica.

"Nope. I'm gonna go with you. We'll wait for your mom to pick you up."

"Oh." Jessica shyly and quietly replied. "Thanks."

"You're very welcome. Now come on, let's go outside." Jonghyun and Jessica walked all the way to the porch of their school. Students were excitedly coming out of the building with their backpacks on their backs and wide grins on their faces. Jessica and Jonghyun gazed at the skies and watched as frozen rain called snow fell from them.

"It's on the 26th right?" Jessica asked. "Have you forgotten?"

"Nope. How could I forget?" Jonghyun replied with a smile. A red car parked right in front of the building. It was Jessica's mom. Jessica hurriedly gathered her things, including the big blue bag that Jonghyun gave her and rushed to her mother's car, bidding Jonghyun goodbye.

That was the start of their winter break and the start of Jessica's misery. As soon as Jessica got home, she opened the present that was given to her by Jonghyun. It was a blue teddy bear. A baby blue teddy bear in the exact shade she liked. She thought it was cute and hugged it until she fell asleep in bed.

Their winter break started on the 20th of December. Christmas is on the 25th. Their first month together is on the 26th. So from the 20th to the 25th, Jessica did nothing but think about Jonghyun and text him. Jonghyun would text her too, especially in the morning when she wakes up and at night before she goes to bed.

Finally, on the night of the 26th, Jessica heard her phone ringing. She checked the number and saw that it wasn't on her contacts list. Though doubtful, she answered it nonetheless.

"Hello?"

"Hello." came the deep voice from the other line. Jessica got scared.

"Hello who is this?"

"This is Jonghyun." said the guy on the other line. Jessica gasped in shock.

"For real?"

"Yes. Didn't you receive my text."

"I haven't."

"This is Jonghyun."

"Please let me know you're not shitting me. This isn't Jonghyun. The voice is different."

"This is Jonghyun. My voice is a bit raspy so my voice is different. Anyways, how are you and what are you doing?"

"Oh nothing. I'm just hanging out here in my room. How about you?"

"I'm here outside of my cousin's house. I'm using my cousin's phone, actually. We're having a get together."

"That's nice."

"Have you eaten your dinner?"

"Yeah."

"What time did you eat?"

"12:00 nn."

"Noontime? Jessica, that's lunch. I'm asking about dinner."

"I didn't eat dinner."

"Jessica, you have to eat…" Jonghyun scolded with a loving tone.

"Or else what?" Jessica teased back.

"Or else, I'm gonna come over and feed you." Jonghyun loved doing that to Jessica. Jessica and Jonghyun just laughed it off. The two talked about everything, how much they missed each other, their plans for the future, and the like. Jessica then realized that her voice was getting louder and her mother-who was just in the other room-could hear her so she got up and locked herself inside her bathroom.

"I'm in my bathroom right now. My mom's next room and I think she heard what we were talking about."

"Oh so you're in the bathroom. No wonder there's some sort of echo."

"Yep. Say, your cousin was asking about us."

"Really?"

"Yeah. He wanted to know about our relationship."

"What did you tell him?"

"I told him about it."

"Oh. No wonder he's been texting me."

"Exactly!" Jessica sat down on the toilet seat with the cover down. "Guess what I'm doing."

"You're in the bathroom right? Still there? I can hear your echo!"

"Yep. I'm still in the bathroom. So guess what I'm doing."

"Hmm…if I have to make a guess, I'd say you're sitting on the toilet seat with the cover down and your legs crossed, am I right?" Jonghyun said.

"Yes." Jessica answered shocked. "How did you know?"

"Don't you think I know you all too well by now?" Jessica smirked at his witty reply. That was his best trait. He was always a step ahead of her, proving how smart he really was.

"Yeah right. Fine! You're the smart one!" Jessica teased. She started to suffocate in the bathroom and stepped out. She lay on her bed once more and talked to Jonghyun about anything under the sun.

After two hours on the phone, Jonghyun needed to go.

"Jessica, I really need to go. Someone's calling me."

"Aww. Please don't go."

"Jessica, I really have to. This isn't my phone."

"Aww. Okay."

"I'm leaving at one in the morning. Wanna come?"

"1 in the morning? Are you crazy? I still look haggard and ugly at that time."

"Haggard and ugly? You're very beautiful. No matter what other people say. No matter what you say. To me, you're the most beautiful girl in the world." Jonghyun said.

"You're so sweet. And because of that, you can go."

"I'll pick you up at one!"

"No!" Jessica giggled loudly.

"Just kidding. Bye Jess. I love you."

"I love you too." Jessica hung up. That was the best two hours of her life. After that, she turned her phone off, hugged her bear and shut the lights. Jessica wanted to sleep right away while Jonghyun's voice was still echoing in her head.
