Where are you Sooyoung…?

There she goes again, crying in the corner of her dorm, alone in the dark, not wanting to wake any of her college dorm buddy up, she always hide herself in the corner of the dark, crying in between her knees, hoping that it would at least, quiet down her sobbing and it does helps that way.

You left me when I needed someone most…..

She lets out more tears after those thoughts.

Her best friend left without saying anything, no one in the school knows what the real reasons are, all she knew is, her friend has been not attending to classes, so she decided one day, to visit her at her place, thinking she was sick or something, wanting to know why she has skipped school for days, but all of this were left unanswered when she walk and stop right in front of quiet house, it looks none occupied.

It was not long, she stood there, right in front of the house, not knowing how to react to the sudden lost of her friend, only letting tears streaming down her cheeks.

They were friends ever since kindy, there hooked pinkie fingers and promised to be there for each other all the time, but her friend left her also in the end, not long when her first one and only love, left her, just 3 days ago.

Having to lose both person she love most, is not what she predicted, at times, she wonders, what have she done to receive such treatment, to receive such punishment, she even starts wondering, was it her past life, that was the cause of these.

She stand there, only to realize, she has lost two of her most precious things, thinking, she was all alone now, no one to be there for her, well, yes is true she still has her family, but just sometimes, and just at times, your family members doesn't really understands you well.

Well, maybe it was just for her case, because, every time, when Taeyeon argued with her parents or her pesky brother, she send a text message about her feeling unhappy to Sooyoung and normally, it wouldn't take more than 10minutes, to receive a phone call from the receive, that is also if she is not eating, but if it so, Sooyoung has never failed to called Taeyeon right on the same day when she receives the text message.

Taeyeon would probably grumbles all her problems to her best friend, who is on the other receiver, listening all the way, for years, without a complain and she too, always gives the best advices to Taeyeon and most of the times, Taeyeon always smiles at the end of the call after hearing out her friend cheering and advices.

'I still owe you meals'

Taeyeon could only mumbles those words, to the empty house which was used to live by her best friend, right now, its all empty, there's no car in there, Sooyoung's purple curtains are no longer hanging at the second floor bedroom window.

But all she left for Taeyeon were only questions and questions, repeatedly asking in her mind again and again and still do even when she starts her college off in the new semester.

She still wonders, where have her friend left, where has her best friend move to, what is she doing now, and most importantly, has she forgotten about her? Why didn't she tell her everything like she does, well, not precisely, she never has got the chance to tell Sooyoung about her crush towards Tiffany, she intend to, but….she was gone when Taeyeon wanted to.

But still, the questionnaire was, why and where did she go?

"are you okay?"

A gentle voice startles Taeyeon, but mostly, she is too embarrass to even bring her head up, knowing due to the cries, her eyes were probably swollen like how goldfish looks like.

"yeah"

Taeyeon answers shortly, not even budge to bring her head up to look at who it is.

Next thing, it was quiet for a moment, but not too long, Taeyeon felt a soft thing was being brush against her fingers.

"hold it"

Through the grasp of it, Taeyeon identified the object that she is holding, is nothing but a Kleenex.

"don't sit too long on the wooden floor, its never good for your back spine"

Taeyeon didn't have the mood to talk, so she just nod her head.

Taeyeon never knew who the girl was, but she didn't have the will to know so.

She was always the freak in her class, she don't talks and when people tries to have a conversation with her, she'll just keep quiet and zone out, so people in the class starts calling her stuck up bitch, some even calls her a psycho, for she didn't know if those students even know the meaning of it, but, is not like she cares, call whatever they like, she'll be what she wants and she doesn't feels like talking.

"you're a creep!" A girl shouts in Taeyeon's face.

But Taeyeon just stayed quiet, not even flinching when the girl literally screamed in her face, her eyes, were staring out of zone.

"she must have been possessed or something" other girls start laughing at the stupid childish accusation.

"lets help her" one of the mean girls suggest.

With that, they hold up chalks in the fingers and surrounded Taeyeon, drawing Taeyeon's face with it, laughing off, but Taeyeon, was nowhere fighting against them, she was too weak to react, to dead to fight back, she felt like she died.

The continuation of the teasing and laughing was not long until the girls starts stumbling aside, due to someone coming from behind them, pulling them and pushing them aside.

"damn it! Where's your humanity!" the tanned girl stares at the girls who is standing aside, looking afraid at her.

"she's stupid….look at her, yuri! She's not even responding~" one of the girls said.

"stupid or not, who are you to judge anyway? Who are you to do this to her!" Yuri glares at them.

"why are you helping her! Being friends with her aren't doing any good to your popularity you know~!" one of the girl holding Yuri's wrist.

"Popularity or not" Yuri yank herself free from any grasp, "this girl here, is someone whom im going to protect, so be it"

Those words made Taeyeon looks at Yuri, those were the exact words that was said by Sooyoung back when they were 5, in the back of the kindergarden playground, a group of boys actually started playing rough with Taeyeon, ganging up to take turns and pull Taeyeon's piggytail. All Taeyeon could do was to cry out, but none of the teachers heard it, not when someone, who was unexpectedly, strong, pushing the boys to landed face on the ground.

Taeyeon looks up at the girl who is at her age, but so much taller than her, although she has dark skin, but her smile was brighter than anyone's.

"bullies! Stay away from my buddy! Imma protect her from now onwards!"

Taeyeon smiled, looking at the girl who warns the boys off, placing both hands each on her waist.

"got it!?" the girl stomp one feet forward, making the boys scatter away for their life, the taller girl who just saved Taeyeon, turns around and smiles, offering a hand out to help Taeyeon to get up.

"t-hank you" Taeyeon smiles.

"awww, its okay! You look so petite but so cute! Like a doll!"

The two girls laughed, "im sooyoung by the way"

"come here" Yuri offers a hand to help Taeyeon out, unconsciously, Taeyeon grab it.

They make their way to the fountain in one of the garden, there, Taeyeon sitting in front of Yuri, who is taking the towel around her neck and wetting it with the fountain water.

"why did you let them do that to you"

Yuri ask as she starts wiping the white stain on Taeyeon's face.

Taeyeon shrug her shoulders, but then, the voice sounded so familiar.

Yuri frowns as she expected something coming out from Taeyeon's mouth.

"homesick?"

Taeyeon shook her head.

"broke up?"

Is not the case, but she feels like it, still, is not the case, so Taeyeon shook her head.

"taken wrong course?"

Taeyeon shook her head harder.

"yahhhhhh~ you can talk, so do so"

"i…"

In the end, Taeyeon just shook her head once again, earning a big sigh from Yuri.

"family matters?"

Taeyeon shakes her head, hanging her head low.

Yuri takes one last try, "mmmmm, then it must be friends matters"

Receiving a respond from Taeyeon who looks at her, Yuri knew, she hit the jackpot.

"you want to tell?"

For Taeyeon, Yuri is someone she just know, but she really don't feel comfortable telling her all about her love life and her best friend who suddenly disappears. Taeyeon slowly shakes her head, Yuri tilt her head.

"okay, I will not force you…but you know what, Taeyeon…."

Yuri wipes the chalk on Taeyeon's forehead off, "you are being really sad right now was because your friend , well, I don't know, but something must have happened, and you are still sad about it, is because, you love them very much and I believe, a friend like you, are so likable and lovable, so…I believe, they wouldn't want to see you being this way either"

Taeyeon looks at Yuri, accepting the fact, that what Yuri said, makes perfect sense.

"if you being sad, it means its hurting you, being sad, doesn't helps you to get your life moving on, it just pulls your heart down and hurts you all the way….. you need to learn how to love yourself first, before you starts loving someone else….because, if you don't learn how to love yourself, what makes you think, you can give your love to someone else"

Taeyeon just remain quiet even after Yuri was done talking, Yuri smiles, placing the towel in Taeyeon's hands, "just remember, whenever you need someone, I will be that someone, im your roommate, but….i can also be your new friend….okay?"

Still, Taeyeon just stares, Yuri stands up, walking to the exit.

"Y-y-yu-yuri" Taeyeon calls out, earning a wide smile from Yuri, who stops in her tracks.

"yes?"

"can I be your friend?" Taeyeon ask cutely, like it was all back to primary.

That's when Taeyeon saw the kindest warmest smile after such a long disappointment, Yuri's smile, make her felt she could trust again, Yuri nods her head.

"we'll be best buddy!" yuri calls out.

And that's when…Taeyeon finally smiles again, for after so long.

...

...


"Taeyeon?" Yuri look at Taeyeon who had spaced out for a moment.

She walks to her friend, wondering, as she gently shakes Taeyeon by the shoulders,

"hey, gwenchanayo…..?"

Taeyeon finally came to her senses after having the quick flashback of what Yuri did for her last time during college, "yuri, actually-"

"actually, I think you need a rest" Yuri beams a small frown at Taeyeon.

"no, yuri, i-"

"you're tired because you helped me out on the plan, go, you need some rest"

Yuri gets behind Taeyeon and gently pushes the shorter girl by the shoulders to head towards upstairs.

Taeyeon took the first step of the stairs, "yuri"

"guess what, I'll make you some herbal tea, araso? It'll helps to relief tense" Yuri smiles.

I cant tell her now…..

Taeyeon nods her head.

"go to your room, I'll bring it to your room later" Yuri walks to the kitchen.

Taeyeon lays on her bed, looking at the ceiling, and is as if the ceiling is showing a play on the bare wall, seems like there were flashes of the moment where she saw Tiffany in her house, after 5 years, she finally get to see Tiffany again with her own eyes.

Best part? Is physically and not mentally.

Taeyeon smiles, her finger reaches out to touch the cheek, the part where Tiffany has kisses her not long ago in the car. Taeyeon sighs with a big smile.

Are all this fated? Who can believe it, like finally, after 5 years, wow….. I get to meet her again! Jinja….. I wonder….. how are things going to be like, if I was to express my love to her in the past 5 years…. Nahhh~ she wants to put her studies in first place anyway….well, the past is not a matter now….is now what it matters. Whether to get her or not, is all up to me now….in my hands….

Another smile appears on Taeyeon's face once again, but the smile didn't last long when the words that Yuri said, finally repeats in her mind again.

Yuri ahhhhh….

Taeyeon let her hand smack against her forehead.

I love this girl, the girl who has been helping me through my college years…. She's the one who search and gave me back the strength that I lost and needed…. I thought I had lost them forever, but she's the one who keeps reminding me, hope will never be gone for as long as I am still breathing and still wants it….

Taeyeon groans in frustration, she's left stuck.

Yuri has asked for a meet up with Tiffany at the coffee shop nearby her company building, exactly the opposite of the building across the road.

"sorry that I cant send you home last night personally" Yuri beams an apologetic smile.

"gwenchana" Tiffany stirs her cup of coffee.

"I promise….the next time, I will surely be the one personally sending you home" Yuri assures.

Tiffany just smiles shyly.

"so, when can you start your work?" Tiffany ask.

"tomorrow, but let me find the best contractor I can get first" Yuri smiles.

"wow….guess this is going to be good"

"for you, it will be great"

"maybe the best?"

"out of the rest" Yuri and Tiffany both laugh.

Tiffany slowly nods her head, "well, im looking forward for it"

"tiffany" Yuri looks at Tiffany, not taking her eyes off Tiffany even for a second.

"yes?"

"can you tell me more about yourself?" ask Yuri.

Tiffany see a familiar yellow mini coupé drives off from the opposite building, she half hoping it is not who she think it is.

Stupid me! I shouldn't have come! I should've know, Yuri had told me she's going to meet with Tiffany…

Taeyeon tightens her grip on the steering wheels.

Remembering the scene she has just witnesses, how Tiffany was smiling and laughing happily with Yuri, even from the back figure, Taeyeon knew it was Yuri.

She seems so happy with Yuri, I didn't see her smiling to me that way, well, she did, like 5 years ago! Uhhhhh! Taeyeon! Why are your jealousy emotions getting so fast in attacking you!

Taeyeon park her car at the open car park she found in front of her company, she locks the car and gets into her office.

"morning, taeyeon" Victoria greets.

"morning" Taeyeon mumbles back as she head to her office room.

Suzy follows behind Taeyeon, "urm….hey"

Taeyeon turns around, "oh hey, yes?"

"i…..i was just wondering, if you want to have anything for lunch?" Suzy ask, Taeyeon looks at her, "i-im going for my break….so, do you need anything?"

Taeyeon shakes her head, knowing she doesn't has any appetite left, "thanks for asking"

Taeyeon slams herself onto her chair, she sighs loudly as she rest her head on the neck rest.

Blowing air out from her pouting mouth, she sighs, scratching the back of her neck, she sighs again, she just feels so jealous about what she witnessed just not long ago.

That's when she knew, she has got to have Tiffany as hers….

There's a knock on the door.

"come in"

Victoria walks in, "taeyeon, there's this client-"

"ask hyoyeon to attend that client, im not in a mood"

"but this client is asking for you, taeyeon"

Taeyeon shakes her head, "I don't see any appointment in my diary today, so yeah, next time, ask them to make an appointment first"

Victoria nods her head, "dae, I'll let her know"

"good"

Taeyeon did a thumb up for Victoria, "thank you"

Victoria smiles and close the door, Taeyeon let out another sighs.

Keep on sighing like you are stress out or something…..geeeez! tell her if you want her! Show her if you want her!

Just then, Taeyeon's iphone beeps a few times, she puff her cheeks as she reaches out for her phone and look at the screen, she studies the unknown number on her screen and the message display on her screen.

[araso, next time I will remember to make an 'appointment' to meet you :(]

Taeyeon wonders which client would actually text her that way, none of her client text her with emoticons in it, she reads the message again and again, she decides to call the unknown number.

Xxxxxxx : dae?

Taeyeon : hey, I've received a text message from you and I'm just wondering how did you get my number and….who are you?

Xxxxxxx : I see, well, this is hwang speaking.

Taeyeon : …hwang…..? HWANG! Oh my gosh! Tiffany!?

Tiffany : guess you're a busy person, so yeah, talk next ti-

Taeyeon : no no no no no! please don't hang up yet….

Little did Taeyeon even know, on the other side of the phone, Tiffany is smiling, hearing how cute the pleading was from Taeyeon.

Tiffany : I'll remember to make an appointment next time, Ms. Kim

Taeyeon : aihhhh~ I didn't know it was you~ where are you now?

Taeyeon stands up, ready to leave her office.

Tiffany : driving back to my office.

Taeyeon felt bitter all of a sudden after hearing what Tiffany said, she just feel like, she really wanted to see that face again.

Tiffany : Taeyeon?

That voice….so familiar of how the way she called me during 5 years ago.

Tiffany : Tae?

Taeyeon : ah! Yes?

Tiffany : If there's nothing, I guess we'll talk next time.

Taeyeon : can I bring you out for dinner tonight?

Tiffany : Urm…

Taeyeon : it wont take long, but there are some thing that I would like you to know.

Maybe….just maybe, she's going to express her love out on me again! Kyaaaa~ that will be so cute – Tiffany

Tiffany : okay, Italian Pizza opposite my company, that building.

Taeyeon : Sounds good, see you at 7 tonight.

Tiffany : Alright.

When both side ended the call, they had the same thing, a big smile on their face, heart thundering in their chest, both… are ready and excited for tonight's dinner.

Taeyeon gulps as she parks her car at where she's suppose to meet Tiffany at for dinner,

She looks at the rear mirror, checking herself out, making sure she looks sensible enough to meet up with the dream love of hers.

where else, Tiffany is 10 minutes earlier, already found a table for two in the restaurant.

She pulls out a small mirror from her handbag on the table and check on her lipstick,

She look at the mirror and turn her head to the sides a little to the left and then right.

Looks like she's ready for anything, or should she say, what she really wants is, what she's ready for.

The door push opens, Tiffany felt her heart beats faster, her blood rushes in her veins.

She felt her breath was taken away, the moment she sees Taeyeon stepping into the restaurant and very quickly, spotted out where Tiffany is.

Keep your cool – Tiffany

Keep your cool and not make a fool out of yourself…..hwaiting…..you can do it!

Taeyeon walks to Tiffany, "hi" she greets as she pulls the chair in front of her, opposite of where Tiffany is sitting across the table and sit herself, she felt her palms both getting sweaty.

"how may I help you?"

The voice somehow startle Taeyeon, making poor Taeyeon jump up in a surprise, her back palm accidentally hitting the pepper bottle off from the table, smashing against the slippery wax floor below them, breaking into pieces.

Taeyeon quickly stands up as if she's about to bend down and pick up the broken pieces of glasses, "shit- im so sorry~"

"it's okay, ma'am" the waiter stops Taeyeon before she hurts herself, another waiter carries a broom stick out and then sweep the broken glasses off and into the dust pan.

"sorry" Taeyeon's face becomes redden when she also feels Tiffany looking at her now.

Great, now she'll think of me as an idiot or fool, so clumsy and act so stupidly….

After making their orders, the waiter left, Taeyeon caught Tiffany is looking at her right in the eyes, not even looking away, Taeyeon quickly look out of the window, avoiding any eye contact from Tiffany, it made the other latter sighs.

Causing Taeyeon to look back at Tiffany.

She's probably hating me now, or getting bored of me.

"are you avoiding me?" Tiffany crosses her arms as she leans at the back of her chair.

"huh? What? me? No" Taeyeon quickly explains.

"alright, answer me~"

Tiffany looks at Taeyeon, "did you came to my office this afternoon?"

A frown escapes from Taeyeon's lip, but she nods her head, making Tiffany's eyes widens.

"pass by?" ask Tiffany.

"I thought I can bring you out for lunch" Taeyeon answers honestly.

"and?" Tiffany urge for the truth from Taeyeon.

"and….i guess I was a step late-"

"you are, Yuri came" Tiffany answers, but she didn't know that her answer hurts Taeyeon a lot.

"I know" Taeyeon looks away.

"I saw your car, I saw you drove off, my instinct told me it was you..i wanted it to be you and at the same time, hoping its not you"

"why?"

"I wanted it to be you is because I want to make it believe that you came to look for me, because you want to see me but at the same time, I was hoping it wasn't you because stupid me, was actually not wanting you to see me with someone else, it made me felt like I was cheating on you, but then….i just came to my senses, that I am still single and open, so, I shouldn't feel that way"

Taeyeon rubs her sweaty palms at her jeans nervously, she tries to understand better about Tiffany and what she just said.

"from what I can understand is that, Yuri….. she's your best friend?" ask Tiffany.

"yeap"

"so, I guess you'll know, she is sort of going after me…."

Taeyeon sighs but nods her head, "I do"

"so, what is this now? You're pushing me to her? Because-"

"NO" Taeyeon quickly says, "I wont push you to anyone, but I will let you choose…"

Tiffany keeps quiet, allowing Taeyeon to continue.

"I love Yuri as my best friend, she indeed, helped me so much….but…..im not going to let you go….not when I was at least given a chance to go after you….i wont waste this chance, Tiffany"

Tiffany feels butterflies flying around in her stomach, she wanted so much to hug Taeyeon, but she kept calm and keep her cool.

"I really really really like you" taeyeon shakes her head, "no, I love you"

Tiffany's eyes widens again at Taeyeon's open confession.

Dinner ended a little bit awkwardly.

They take a stroll at the side walk, Taeyeon looks at the girl beside her, she was so nervous back in the restaurant just now, that she didn't even realize how beautiful Tiffany is, in the flowery red dress, Tiffany caught Taeyeon smiling, "wae?"

"you look very beautiful in this dress"

Tiffany usually gets complimented on the way she dress up, but she somehow felt her cheeks were burning red when she gets complimented by Taeyeon, "thanks" she answers coolly.

"Tiffany"

"yes?"

"you think we can go on another date?" Taeyeon ask in a mannerly way, "I want to know you better, what you did during the past 5 years, in the…. States"

Ow gosh! Stop being so cute and sweet! – Tiffany

"why is that"

"I would like to know you better so I can understand you…." Taeyeon answers, although she felt embarrassed also.

Tiffany stuck her tongue out naughtily, she wanted to walk away from Taeyeon, wanting the girl behind her to chase her up, grab her wrist or something, just anything that can make her heart flutters.

But she didn't realize, she taken a step towards the busy night road with speeding cars towards her.

"YAHHHHHH~~~ PABO!"

All Tiffany could hear is a voice screaming in panic and anger, car honking at her, when she looks to her side, all she could see is bright lights shining at her face, she can barely see anything but just bright lights.

For a moment, she has flash of her going to get hit by a car and die.

But those flash went away, when she felt a strong grip on her wrist, pulling her so hard to the back, making her fall backwards helplessly, just a second away from the car that zoom pass her so fast, if she wasn't pull back, believe me, her life is gone that night, maybe not that bad, but she'll end up laying on the bed ward.

But right now, she just have to be thankful, that she is not laying on a ward bed but she's laying into an open arms, that protective hugs her with one arm, her head hits the soft chest, she can literally hears the fast heart beat of kim tae yeon.

As Tiffany looks above her, since she has stumble into Taeyeon's arms, she looks at the face.

An expression she has never seen before, even during 5 years ago..

An expression that would scare her if she didn't know what reason behind it, but with the reason of why its on Taeyeon's face now, Tiffany felt her heart actually melted like a soft ice cream under a hot weather, she feels that way anyway now looking at Taeyeon.

The concern look in Taeyeon's eyes, the skin that was white but now becoming pale with worrisome, the sharp glare earns from Taeyeon's sharp piercing eyes glaring at the car that almost hit Tiffany not long ago, has actually stopped at the corner.

"what are you staring at!"

The man that came out from the car shouts loudly at Taeyeon, whose eyes never even blink once, no sign of scare is found in Taeyeon's eyes no matter how muscular the man looks like.

Taeyeon took one step forward, but then she stops, as she felt Tiffany's grip clutch tightly at her shirt, creating forms of wrinkles around the grip causing to her shirt. Taeyeon looks at Tiffany who snuggles closer to her protective protection, clearly shock and scare of what just happened.

"CLEARLY IS YOUR GIRL'S FAULT EVEN IF I RUN INTO HER JUST NOW!"

"That's it" Taeyeon growls and steps forward, her glare returns to the man, flashing in anger, as if she's ready to take that man down anytime anywhere. Who is to stop it from happen? No one but the girl who is shaking her head now, causing Taeyeon to stop and look at her.

"tae tae, don't~"

Tiffany's tiny voice crooks, still shaking her head, her face not able to be look at since she's hiding them in Taeyeon's chest, "let him be"

"but"

"please, tae tae"

That voice, Taeyeon believe, it's the only voice that her heart will ever response to, Taeyeon looks back at the man, giving one last glare, before she protectively has one arm hugging Tiffany as she turns around and walks back to another side of where they came from in the beginning.

That gets to Taeyeon's car, Tiffany sitting at the passenger side, with the door open, her legs still outside of the car, she watches as Taeyeon runs back to her with a bag of plastic bag in her hand, Taeyeon squatted herself next in front of Tiffany.

Taeyeon look at Tiffany for once before her eyes returning to search in the plastic bag.

Those protective angry eyes are now gone…..i felt so safe, despite I was almost ran over by a car just now, her expression, shows that….she really really wants to protect me, well, she did…. Her arms were so warm just now….when I was hug by her even with just one arm, it felt so….secure…she will protect me with all her might… - Tiffany.

Taeyeon pulls a bottle of mineral water out, she looks at Tiffany while she twist the cap open,

She hands it to Tiffany, Tiffany take it and drank some water, she then hands the water bottle back to Taeyeon, to twist close the bottle cap, at last keeping it in the plastic bag again.

"you okay now?"

Taeyeon's voice, ever so gentle now, asking Tiffany.

Just now, frightens me so much! I thought I was about to lose her again, and not for 5 years, but if it happens, this time it might be forever, thank God, God has mercy on me…I just don't want to ever lose her anymore….

Tiffany quietly nods her head.

Taeyeon sighs, she looks at Tiffany in the eyes, "you scare me a moment ago, pabo"

"…yahhhh~ stop calling me that"

"i…I thought I'll lose you"

With that Taeyeon got up a little and hugs Tiffany, pulling Tiffany smashing against her petite yet reliable body, hugging Tiffany tightly, Tiffany rest her chin above Taeyeon's shoulder.

...

...


It was quiet for a moment, the hug, for what it seems, no one wants to let go so soon.

But it was Tiffany the one who break the hug, she did it really carefully and gently, so that Taeyeon won't felt like Tiffany hate it, because she doesn't.

They look at each other, Taeyeon's eyes soften against Tiffany's.

"I'll bring you home, kay?" the older girl speaks out gently, earning one nod from Tiffany.

Things become quite awkward once again, Tiffany looks at how Taeyeon is so focus, fixing the eyes on the road, but the grip of hers on the steering wheels were grip so tightly, that her knuckles were becoming pale white.

What's going on~~ - Tiffany.

"Taeyeon…..are you alright? You don't seems to be…"

"I am not" answers Taeyeon.

"wae…"

"I thought I would've lost you just now" Taeyeon admits.

They stop at the red traffic light, under the night, in the dark gloomy car, Taeyeon turns around to look at Tiffany, "it scares me" when Taeyeon says so, her voice were so soft, is like she just crook out those words, like it hurts her to even say such thing. Taeyeon sighs and turns away.

"tae-"

"tiff, I really don't want to lose you" Taeyeon starts driving, but her eyes were so deep in focus in what she's about to say.

"I'd lose you once, I know how hard it is….i never get to forget you, the things we did, the things we shared together, give me enough time, to proof, you are who I need and I'll make myself who you need" Taeyeon turn her car around, stopping in front of the familiar house that she came for the second time.

Taeyeon steps on the brake pedal and pull the handbrake, she looks at Tiffany, trying to put a smile on her own face, but her lips were trembling, making it seems like she is forcing a smile.

Tiffany's hand reaches out and places itself on top of Taeyeon's chest.

It make Taeyeon eyes widens in shock of what move did Tiffany did and how her heart was thumping so hard, she gulps and see Tiffany giggles somehow, maybe, just maybe Tiffany felt how hard her heart is beating right now?

Shittt- what are… what the…. This isnt right…. Why is she doing this to me!?

"shhhhh~ calm down….you're going to get a heart attack" Tiffany chuckles cutely.

Tiffany smiles again before pulling her hand away.

"don't worry, if time is what you need, you got it"

They looks at each other, "thanks" Taeyeon said.

Such a cute dork! Still the cute dork that I had came to know! – Tiffany.

"I have morning meetings tomorrow, so yeah, guess this is tonight" Tiffany gesture Taeyeon to come closer, Taeyeon tilt her head to the side a little, trying to understand what Tiffany is going to do next, but she obeys Tiffany like usual, so she goes closer towards Tiffany, as far as her seatbelt allows her to, with that, Tiffany leans forward and kisses Taeyeon on the forehead.

"Thank you for tonight" she whispers those words against Taeyeon's forehead, her hot breath trickling the forehead, Tiffany then unbuckles her seatbelt, "goodnight"

"wait" Taeyeon hold onto Tiffany's wrist, Tiffany looks at Taeyeon.

Do it Taeng….do it….just do it!

Taeyeon unconsciously nods her head to her own thoughts, making Tiffany wondering what she has in the mind and why is she nodding her head all of a sudden.

Taeyeon takes a deep breath, "c-can…..can I…..erm…..kiss your forehead?"

AWWW GOSHHHHH! THAT IS SO CUTE! SO INNOCENT! – Tiffany.

Tiffany sighs with a cute chuckle, but she nods her head, and leans her head down a little, making things easier for Taeyeon, a smile escape Taeyeon's face when she leans forward and kiss Tiffany on the forehead, making a smooching sound when her lip smacks away.

Even Tiffany herself can feel hot in the cheeks now, but she held her cool.

"Goodnight" Tiffany bids again, as she opens the car door.

"night" Taeyeon smiles, "er, Tiff! Wait-"

"what is it this time?" Tiffany teases.

"can you…..give me a text message before you go to bed…?"

Maybe, this is how it is like to be in a relationship? I don't know…..but, we're not like really together yet….still, I feel so sweet…..she's so cute! And sweet! – Tiffany

"okay" Tiffany smiles shyly and waves goodbye as she walks back into her house.

...

...

Taeyeon walks into her living room, yawning as she took her jacket off, she switch the lights back on.

She must be out tonight.

Taeyeon realize how quiet the house is now and believe that Yuri has gone out.

She then make her way up the stairs, heading to her room.

Just then, her phone rings, making her jump up a little in shock, but she smiled even looking at the unknown number which is familiar with the one this afternoon and she believe, it's the person she love a lot, calling her right now.

Eottoke…..dugeun dugeun~~~!

Taeyeon leans her back against the wall.

Pick up the phone you idiot before it becomes a missed call!

Taeyeon breath in and out with a few times, letting a small 'fuhhhhhh' out from her lip, she then slide across her phone to answer the incoming call.

Tiffany : Busy? What took you so long?

I was nervous! Oh my god! Her voice sounds so delicious through the phone! Delicious? Boya….but…oh my goodness!

Taeyeon : j-just erm…well, you know…

Tiffany : what? I know what, taeyeon?

Taeyeon scratch her forehead, she let out a silent sigh, feeling silly for not knowing what to say due to being too nervous.

Tiffany : Tae….are you okay?

Taeyeon : ….yeah.

Tiffany : you don't sound like though.

She must be thinking I am an idiot….come on tae! Just talk!

Tiffany : If im bothering you, just let me know, I'll cut the call short-

Taeyeon : Anni~~! I just…..i just…..got nervous….i don't know what to say….

Tiffany : *giggled silently* hmmmmmm~~

Taeyeon : Pani ah~ Mianhae~

Tiffany : what are you apologizing for?

Taeyeon : being this way.

Tiffany : nervous?

Taeyeon : ne.

Tiffany on the other side, covers the phone as she lets out a loud deep laugh.

Can she get any cuter? – Tiffany

Tiffany : Gwenchana…..

Taeyeon : I really-

"TAEYEON!"

Tiffany : who's that?

Taeyeon : Yuri must be home.

"COME HELP ME TAE! SHE'S HEAVY!"

Tiffany : She?

Tiffany covers her mouth for the accidental blurt.

Taeyeon holds the phone away, "DAE! GIMME A MINUTE!" she then put the phone back close to her ear.

Who is the she they are talking about? – Tiffany.

Tiffany : I guess you'll be busy.

Please say no , stay, talk on the phone to me – Tiffany.

Taeyeon : yeah…

Tiffany frowns.

Taeyeon : But…tiff….if you don't mind….can I call you tomorrow?

Tiffany : urm, for?

Taeyeon : I don't know…..honestly, I just want to hear your voice…can i?'

Tiffany smiles again.

Tiffany : dae…

Taeyeon : sleep early, sweetest dream pani ah~~

Tiffany : you too. Night.

Tiffany let her hand touches her own chest, feeling her own heart beat, for all she know, she has a smile craft on her face now and her heart was actually beating faster than its normal pace.

Is this how it feels like, to be in love? Hmmmmm, but I wonder who else is living with them…. I didn't know there's someone else living with them in the house….i thought it was just her and Yuri…this is crazy, we're just friends and yet, I felt she's cheating on me… Fany ah! Stop it, you both aren't together yet! You have got to control your emotions! Hmmm! I need a bath! Freshen up! – Tiffany

Right after taking a bath, Tiffany walk out from the bathroom, with the towel wrapping her wet hair up, she looks at her phone. And saw a message, received.

Message Receive From : TaeYeon TO Tiffany

Fany ah~ is going to be a cold night tonight, make sure you have your blanket on…

And oh yes, just want you to know… it was Yuri's friend… who is drunk… no one else…

Well, yeah… so…..

Night.

Tiffany smiles before she starts typing quickly on her phone screen.

Message Send To : Tae Yeon FROM Tiffany

Well, thanks for the explanation? Hahaha~ oh well, im tired, off to bed, goodnight.

You should sleep early as well.

She press the sent button.

I cant wait to see her anymore – Tiffany.

Taeyeon make her way to downstairs and see Yuri already carry a lifeless body laying down on their couch in the living room.

"…Yuri….." Taeyeon walks closer to the couch, her eyes widen, "what happened to Seohyun?"

"she?" Yuri looks at seohyun who is laying quiet on the couch, "she's just drunk….she cant accept the fact, so she drank a lot"

"fact?"

Yuri nods her head, before answering Taeyeon, she covers Seohyun with a blanket that was hang over the couch.

"it's not fair for Tiffany"

Taeyeon eyes almost pop out after hearing the name of the person she loves a lot, being said by her best friend.

Yuri walks to the kitchen to get herself a drink.

"what is?" Taeyeon ask nervously.

"well, since im going after her, it wont be fair right? If I keep on seeing other girls behind her back" Yuri continues.

"you're serious about Tiffany?"

She never has been serious on any relationship….but….she's doing it for Tiffany now?

Yuri nods her head, "of course"

Taeyeon gulps.

Just kill me.

"you'll support me right, Tae?"

Like I said, just kill me.

"Yuri, you need to know-"

Their conversation was interrupted by a vomiting sound coming from behind them.

The two best friends turn around only to see Seohyun gets up and vomited all over the carpet.

Both having the disgust expression on their face.

"I'll have that clean, no worries, I'll get the carpet for dry clean tomorrow" Yuri makes her way to the living room again.

The carpet is the least im worrying about now….

...

There's a knock on Tiffany's office room, "come on in"

She only becomes happy when she sees Taeyeon walking into her office with a food tumbler in her hand, "hey"

"hey" Tiffany getting up also, smiling, "you're….here….but you didn't tell me"

"sorry, I was thinking of surprising you" Taeyeon admitted shyly.

They sit next to one another with a table in between them, Taeyeon place the tumbler on the table, before revealing it to Tiffany.

Awwww! How sweet! – Tiffany.

"ahhh, what kind of surprise?" Tiffany ask in a steady tone, whereby she really just want to scream and hugs the latter in front of her now.

"I, urm, made you some breakfast…." Taeyeon answers shyly, her cheeks burning.

Tiffany eyes gleams in happiness when she sees there's bacon, sausages, eggs on the first floor of the tumbler and the second contains fresh salads.

Taeyeon scratches the back of her neck awkwardly, awaiting for Tiffany's reaction but she's so nervous that she didn't even have the guts to look at Tiffany right in the eyes.

"well, thank you….im touched" Tiffany admitted but her voice still manage to maintain calm.

"here" taeyeon hands the fork to Tiffany.

Tiffany take it, she poke the bacon and then takes a bite, "mmmm" she let her fingertips wiping the side of her lips, but she missed the spot of where the mayonnaise is at.

Taeyeon leans over and use her own finger instead to wipe it off, both stops and looks at each other.

What did I just did? Control yourself kim tae yeon!

"erm….."

"is good, not bad" Tiffany compliment as she now poke her fork in the salad, eating the fresh lettuce, chewing it, making crunchy noises.

i…..gosh! she's just real down to earth cutie! – Tiffany

"want some?" Tiffany held up her fork, with the tomato being poke at the end of it, in front of Taeyeon's mouth, but Taeyeon back away, hurting Tiffany's feeling a little.

Taeyeon studied quickly the expression of Tiffany's.

"erm, I don't eat tomato ever since I was a kid"

"wae?" Tiffany wonders.

Taeyeon shrugs her shoulders, "never knew why, just didn't like it"

"I see" Tiffany shrugs her shoulders also as she takes a whole bite of the tomato.

She puts her fork down.

Next thing before Taeyeon can react, she was pulled by Tiffany by the collars on her shirt.

Their nose touches,

Then their lips met,

Taeyeon's eyes widens, staring back shockingly at Tiffany, who had her eyes close.

Taeyeon felt something being push into her mouth,

She knew it must be the tomato, but she felt something else.

Something that can move on its own, and tomato doesn't move on its own.

And that moving thing is brushing against her tongue now, before Taeyeon can react.

Tiffany pulls away, leaving the tomato in Taeyeon's mouth.

Tiffany smile like nothing just happens, she pick her fork back up and start eating her remaining salad.

Did we just…..make out indirectly? She tongued me! Wait…..really? does that means she….oh my god! This calls for a celebration! Seriously~~ we make out! Not really, I was like a sculpture…not reacting….but is all so quick….

Taeyeon chewed quickly on the tomato, ignoring how the disgusting taste it is, when the tomato juice spurts in her mouth.

What are you doing tiffany! You're making things too quick you might scare her! – Tiffany.

Taeyeon swallow the chewed tomato, "one more" Taeyeon has her mouth open.

Tiffany giggles, but she pick up the tomato with her fingers, about to put it into Taeyeon's mouth, Taeyeon clamp her mouth shut tightly, shaking her head.

"I want the one exactly like the one just now" Taeyeon requested.

Im not going to miss my chance this time!

A door knock is heard, a pretty girl walks in.

Her eyes widen seeing Taeyeon sitting there in the office, "you?"

Taeyeon look back at her.

Trouble.

Tiffany sighs seeing the situation from the two person.
