A few more camera shots and the celebrities call it off for the day, Taeyeon on the other hand is busy, watching from afar of her duet partner, Jessica Jung posing for the camera.
Krystal has tagged along with the duet duos as the two started up early in the day, as early as 4am in the morning to head to the manicure parlor and Jessica has promised to pay for all the manicures done for Krystal. The younger sibling was tempted with the offer, so that got her to where she is at right now. Almost out of patience, Krystal lets out a heavy sigh which caught the older girl attention. When Taeyeon looks at Krystal, she could only smirk, "Bored?"
"Ya think?" Krystal rolls her eyes and continue looking at her fingers.
"It's worth the price isn't it?"
When Krystal looks at Taeyeon, she sees how the older girl was looking at her fingers as well, "Hmm. Guess so" she answers back with no interest at all.
The director calls it off for the day, the three made their way back to their waiting room. All personal privacy space to themselves. Jessica lets out a very tiring stressful sigh, checking herself out in the big mirror, rubbing the corner of her eyes where a little bit of eyeliner is beginning to smudge. But she was surprise to see Taeyeon suddenly like a ninja, already standing behind her. She could see the whole expression that Taeyeon wasn't shy to hide through the mirror. Taeyeon, whose face did not attempt to hide the sign of admiring and drooling at the body in front of her.
"Go away, Taeng~" Jessica pretends to sound as if she was warning her in a serious tone.
Taeyeon could only smirk in reply.
"You have really beautiful shoulders you realize that?" Taeyeon looks at Jessica from the mirror viewing. She watch as her partner gulps nervously.
"Now that you mentioned, yeah, I guess so" she answers back uncomfortably, but her eyes darted at one corner where her sister is sitting on the couch at the end of the room corner, playing with her mobile, showing no sign of interest at all at what is happening.
Taeyeon had one palm on Jessica's right shoulder, the blonde latter gasp quietly at the sudden skinship, but when Taeyeon slide her palm down across from the shoulder down to the arm, along with the strap of the singlet, Jessica could only nudge Taeyeon hard in the guts with her elbow, causing the older one to yelp and steps a few ways backwards. Rubbing the spot where she has been elbowed.
"I'm a little tired, think you can help me send Krys to school?" Jessica ask as she reaches out to her handbag to pull out a water bottle. Krystal slowly glares at Jessica.
"You said you would be bringing me to school" her voice as cold as her elder sister.
"With all the extra session of photoshoot, where do you think I'll be getting the energy from SooJung, besides, don't you like it better that your Taeyeon oppa will be sending you to school?" Jessica rolls her eyes.
Taeyeon chuckle a little seeing the situation, Krystal always reminds her of the younger version of Jessica Jung, as in attitude or the way they talk or react, this two has very similar attitude.
"If Taeng is coming down with me, of course it doesn't matter she sends me to school, but she is just dropping me off!" Krystal's voice starting to raise.
"So? Your point? Your conclusion to this? What difference does it makes if I was the one who sends you to school? Is not like I am going to bring you into your class, I'll just drop you off at the entrance!" Jessica stood up, not backing down on this argument either.
Taeyeon let out an awkward cough and stood in between the two sisters who are glaring at each other with fierceness in their eyes, like they were about to claw each other faces off with their newly manicure.
"FINE!"
Krystal storms to the couch to pick her schoolbag up as she opens the door hard and left. Finally, Jessica sighs and rest herself at the closes chair to her, Taeyeon walk over to her and pats the blonde head on the top.
"I'll drop her off and while on my way back, I'll go get us some fried chicken, araso?" Taeyeon lets her fingers to run through the blonde hair.
Jessica look up and smile at Taeyeon, "Thank you…"
"When I'm back, I don't want to see anymore of this frown…it makes you look ugly, you know? And my eyes hates ugly things"
"YAHHHHH!"
Taeyeon immediately flees out from the room, chasing right after Krystal who is standing close to the lift, her back leaning against the wall.
From Taeyeon's view, she could see that the young Jung was clearly disappointed that it wasn't Jessica walking towards her.
"So..you want to tell me why you are so mad at your sister? I mean, this is a small matter" Taeyeon begins. But Krystal could only sigh out annoyingly as she reaches out and switch the cd player on.
Daringly, threatening her own life, she switches the cd player off, getting an intense death glare from Krystal Jung, "I know you might think this doesn't concern me at all, but I care about the both of you" Taeyeon continues.
Krystal looks out of the window, "Doesn't matter, I am not mad anymore" she said quietly.
"Wow, your mood swings are coming and going faster than Sica's" Taeyeon stated jokingly.
"I told her earlier today about giving me some cash so I could get some new stuffs for school usage but I guess she was so BUSY that she has forgotten about her own sister" Krystal looks out of the window, "I hated how jobs always takes her mind and heart completely, rather than family" she sighs heavily, fogging up the window.
"Ahhh! AISH"
Krystal look over at the driver seat wondering why Taeyeon suddenly sigh so frustratingly. Taeyeon reaches into her jeans pocket and pulled up a bundle of cash.
"Earlier on, she told me to keep onto this before going for the photoshoot, she said to pass it to you incase she forgets, aish~ mian….here" Taeyeon passes the cash to Krystal.
Krystal looks at the cash and then look at Taeyeon with curiosity, "She said to pass me these cash?"
Taeyeon just nods her head, looking at the road, not making an eye contact with Krystal.
Krystal slips the cash into her skirt pocket, she shrugs her shoulders.
"So, you see, your sister did not forget about you-"
"Is lying good?"
"Eh?"
"I asked, if lying was good"
"Of course it isn't…."
"Then why did you lied?"
Taeyeon snorts, "Since when?"
"Just"
Taeyeon gulps, "About what?"
"Are you going to continue acting this way? Ugh, oppa, no wonder no one takes you in for drama, your acting sucks"
"yah" Taeyeon now finally looks at Krystal, just for a brief seconds before focusing on the road she was driving on.
"Taeng…"
"Yeah?"
"Do you have tiny bits of feelings for my sister?"
Taeyeon wasn't surprise to hear such question being thrown at her, since Yuri, her manager has asked or suspected her that way before.
"I know what happened in the waiting room just now, the things you did to her are like how couple teases one another" Krystal continue.
"Hey, I thought you were playing with your phone?" Taeyeon blushes, her teasing was meant to teas Jessica but not caught by the sister, is definitely not in her plan.
"How huge do you think the waiting room can be? Is already awkward for me to witness and hear it all" Krystal looks at Taeyeon, "If you don't have any feelings for my sister, please tone down your teases…"
Taeyeon just nods her head obediently like a child.
"Or else, I will kill you if you hurt her" Krystal warns, causing Taeyeon to chuckles but she nods her head to it.
Taeyeon stops the car a few steps away from the entrance, the young Jung jumps out from the car, "I'll come pick you up later okay? Wait here"
Krystal nods her head, her expression looking uninterested.
"Thanks Taeng, for the cash, is actually more than what I asked for" Krystal sticks her tongue out, tapping the outside of her skirt pocket.
"Use wisely, or else I will be killed by your sister" Taeyeon winks.
"Daeee, araso"
"Bye"
Doing her assignment in the computer lab, she clicks furiously at the tab that was loading her document out really slowly. Frustrated, she slams the mouse hard on the table, causing other students to look at her, but when she glares in return, the students that were looking at her way, just look away and resume back to previously what they were doing before Krystal slams her mouse.
"What are you going to do during the one month holiday?" her best friend asked.
Krystal is used to being alone, but for that matter, it is only because her best friend ever since the first grade was in another class. Otherwise, the young Jung could only be known as to her nickname, 'Forever Alone'
Luna looks at Krystal with some disinterest expression, tapping the tip of the pen on the table they were sharing.
"I don't know, find a job maybe" Krystal answers back as she opens the Google Chrome tab again.
"Job? Do you even need one, your sister is rich" Luna look at the tabs that Krystal opens.
"You were right, my sister is rich, she is, not me" Krystal answer with what so ever no interest tone as she focus on looking for the materials she needed online.
Luna rolls her eyes, "She wouldn't mind to spare a little for you"
Krystal snatches the pen away from Luna and pointed the girl with the pen in her hand as if she was going to put a spell on her best friend, whose eyes widens in surprise with the sudden action, Krystal laughs out.
"I don't need nobody to spare me when I am capable to look for a job myself, besides, my sister work for what she earns for…she WORKS even when she is an idol, that explains to all her full packed schedule" Krystal continues with her work.
Luna starts humming a melody.
"Yah, why didn't you think about debuting as a singer like your sister?"
Krystal shrugs her shoulders, her focus 100% on the assignment.
"You've got the looks and your sister's voice and you can dance!" Luna stated proudly.
Krystal sniffs as a grin plays onto her face.
This is typical of her best friend, Luna has never been bored of praising her the same old thing, though she knows Luna is only telling the truth of what she thinks of. She had been in dance competition during school challenge, the only reason she skips out from cheerleader was because of the guys who took advantages of her. Besides, with the common criticizes she has been getting because she has a rather cold irritated looking expression to people whenever she is not smiling or just being expressionless, she does not need an extra reason for students around her to call her a cocky bitch and stuffs. She has heard enough. Sometimes, she is just thankful that she has Luna herself as her best friend, it seems to be, Luna is more genuine enough to be her friend, others were just reasoning themselves to make friends with her, all just because she is Jessica Jung's sister.
Being with Luna is comfortable for Krystal, they knew each other since 1st Grade and that is before Jessica got all famous, and even during the popularity that TaengSicStar was getting, Luna has not once said that she would wish to meet the duos, neither did she think about making use of Krystal for anything related to the duos.
Luna has been just Luna herself all the time.
"My sister is a good example enough for me" Krystal said, soft enough for just both of them to hear, "I love the freedom I am having right now, although once or twice, a paparazzi will probably be snapping pictures of me, but I did not give a damn about the article they writes about me, besides, the fans are craving for my sister and Taeng, not me…Life like this is enough of stress-" she points to the computer screen, "I vow to myself not get myself into any more shits than these"
Luna chuckles, "Fine…if you put it that way, so, what job do you plan to get? Or you have one already?"
"I'll try searching some vacant on the newspaper, if that doesn't work, I'll probably ask if there is anything I could temporarily do in my sister's company, I bet Yuri unnie could slot me in for something, maybe the admin department"
"Uhh, stressful"
"Enough about me, what about you?" Krystal ask.
"I'll try my luck as well on the newspaper, but I doubt they will hire a person who is only going to commit for a month" Luna stated.
"If my sister's company could use an extra hand, I'll throw your name in" Krystal said.
"Oh"
"The cleaner position will do?" Krystal teases.
"Oh…sure…you know, many people wouldn't mind for the position you just offered to me"
The two laugh out loudly.
"Remember our senior, Simon oppa?" Luna ask.
"Simon?"
"Simon Park oppa"
"Mmm. Dae, what about him?"
"I heard his business got successful" Luna stated,
"So?"
"Maybe you could drop by his place and see if he can clear a vacant for you" Luna smirks.
"I am not interested in taking orders neither am I going to wash the dirt out of plates"
"I thought you needed a job"
"I can choose, cant i?" Krystal mocks back.
"How could you hate him just because he likes you before?" Luna pouts, "He's cute"
"Correction, it was just rumor about his crush on me and he has a girlfriend at that time"
"He left her!"
"The two has to leave one another because her parents think it is not a good idea to be in a relationship with a guy who drops out from school, so no, he did not leave her because of me" Krystal continue to type on the keyboard, her eyes fixed to the screen.
"So, if he hasn't has any girlfriend, you would've accept him?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"No interest"
"What? You have high demand on a guy!"
"No. I just don't have feelings for any guys yet" Krystal answers coolly.
"Ugh, you and your assignment, woohoo" Luna crosses her arms.
"I bought chocolate fudge as well" Taeyeon announces as she enters the house, she pouted when there is no respond to her calls out, but her question was answered when she saw a body laying on the couch and the tv was left on.
After placing all the stuffs she bought on the table, she tip toes her way to the couch. Kneeling right next to the couch, she looks at the sleeping latter whose mouth wasn't even close, "Heh, a snapshot of this could worth a lot from the paparazzi" Taeyeon stated softly.
"Ooi, babo sica….wakey wakey" Taeyeon rest her own chin on her crossed arm on the couch, "My goodness, are you a kid or what? Playing a role as sleeping beauty….Gee, you've got that part right on sleeping, but hmm, where's the beauty we are looking for?"
Jessica has the right side of her eye opens, looking at Taeyeon.
Taeyeon giggles, "Finally…have you been sleeping long?"
Jessica closes her eyes, nodding her head as she stretches both her arms.
"Come on princess, I've bought some meal" Taeyeon taps Jessica's shoulder a few times.
"Mmh"
Seeing how Jessica just stay quiet and doesn't even bother to respond to her, Taeyeon jumps onto her feet and rushes to the table. The sound of her searching through the plastic bags, catches Jessica's attention. After a second, Taeyeon pulls out a small square box and kneeled the same position.
Opening the lid of the box, a wonderful sweet smell caught Jessica's attention. She finally had her eyes open, not only that, it widens in surprise.
"Is tha-"
Taeyeon already nods her head, "Yup! Your favorite Chocolate Fudge. I knew you weren't in a good mood and this stupid brown fudge thing here is the only thing that can cheer you"
"So, you went and got it?" Jessica finally sat up, followed along with Taeyeon who sat next to her, Taeyeon nods her head. Jessica eyed Taeyeon, "Ayyy, don't lie…how do you think I should believe that you manage to go down into the café yourself to get this?"
The excitement look on Taeyeon face fades right away.
"I went back to our building to grab Miza unnie and drove all the way to the middle town of Seoul to this café to get this stupid thing and then I send Miza unnie back to the building and then made my way here, home, and…." Taeyeon let her shoulder slums down in dismay, "This is all I ever get?"
Jessica looks at Taeyeon, she shakes her head with a small smile, snatching the box away from Taeyeon, "Taeng….i need a fork"
"So, you were all better now?" Taeyeon ask, smiling at Jessica.
"Yes…get me a fork?" she ask again.
"Hee!" Taeyeon gets off from the couch, "Glad this stupid chocolate fudge did the trick"
"You did it" she mumble.
"What?" Taeyeon looks at Jessica, the girl was taken back, thinking Taeyeon did not hear it.
"Nothing. Faster…I'm hungryyyy"
Taeyeon made her way to the kitchen, pulling open one of the kitchen cabinet, she picks a small fork out, but her action stops when her mind replayed the words that was said by Jessica not long ago, the grip on the fork was tightening.
"Taeng?"
"Ah"
Taeyeon drops the fork back into the tray.
"Ah, yes?" Taeyeon looks at the figure standing at the doorway.
"Something matter?" Jessica ask.
"nothing" Taeyeon smiles, picking up the fork she accidentally dropped.
"TaeTae, you did it….."
Taeyeon looks at the girl who was pouting then smile after that when their eyes met.
"You are my everything to me" the girl continue to hug Taeyeon even tighter.
Taeyeon could only smile in joy as she proceeds hugging the girl, "I love you" she leans down to kiss the girl in her arms.
"UGH!"
Taeyeon finds herself sitting up on the middle of her bed, in the dark, "Liar" she hissed.
Rubbing her forehead, she suddenly felt heaviness cramping up in her brain. Despite how many times she rubs her forehead then her cheeks, hard, she still feel the pain that was starting to gain.
"You don't look so well today" Yuri voice trails off as Taeyeon steps into the dance studio. Indeed, the singer didn't look so well, her face look pale and she looks unhappy. Taeyeon did not care to answer to that as she just drop her duffy bag onto the ground.
Yuri puts her document down on her lap as she looks at Taeyeon who is changing into her dancing shoes, "How did things goes with Tiffany?"
That name cause Taeyeon to look up, at least, responding, but she just continue to tie her shoelace after that.
I am not in the mood – Taeyeon.
"Okay…seems like she is the reason for this" Yuri continues as she pays 100% of attention onto Taeyeon.
SHE is..but not Tiffany, I wonder how is she – Taeyeon.
Taeyeon stands up when she is done, doing a few stretching movements to warm her body up.
"Kim, I care for you…don't you at least think it is fair for me to know how are things going?" Yuri ask, her voice sounded disappointed.
"You were right, I am not ready for a new relationship" Taeyeon answers without a hint of interest and that took Yuri back, looking at the girl, "She has still yet to leave and haunts my mind"
Yuri stands up and make her way to where Taeyeon is at, hugging the girl one arm.
"You've did well so far..you've let go more than you thought you could"
Taeyeon steps aside, she looks at Yuri, "I still dreamed about her, no, most of the times, last night, it happened again, things around me or even just words said by someone else that was said by her once, reminds of this girl"
"Yet, you survive through" Yuri exclaim, trying to lighten up the mood.
Taeyeon look away.
"You know, it just takes you to find the right person to let go of your horrible past"
"Right. Go find me one"
"I already did" Yuri smiles and before Taeyeon could ask any further, the door opens.
"Heh, just in time Miss….."
