She was awoke when she felt a poke on her arm. Groaning because of the disturbance, she rolled her body to the other side and tried to cover her eyes of the sun rays.
"Unnie," she heard someone said. "Wake up."
Displaying her displeasure, she opened her eyes and instantly glared to the person in front of her.
"You are so dramatic. You slept like only 15 minutes and you're giving me that look already?"
Tiffany just puffed and looked at the backside where Lami was giggling alone but covered her mouth when she was caught. She just grinned dorkily at Tiffany.
"Come on, let's go. I'm hungry already," Taeyeon broke Tiffany's attention and with that, they all stepped out of the car.
When Tiffany begins to gain her fully consciousness, she started to grin when she realized where they were, Mc Donald's.
Have I ever told you that Tiffany's from California? She was born in the said country and moved to Korea when she was 15 year-old. Yes, she's one of the Californian girls so she really liked, wait scratch that, she loves American food especially Mc Donald's. For once, she wanted to thank the mean neighbour of hers for bringing them there because she was actually being banned for eating junk foods. Her parents were very strict about saying those foods would not be good for her body. She tried to bribe her parents once because she was craving but they just ignored her like they always did and it pissed her off. Since then, she never went or eaten any American foods anymore.
Back to now, she turned her attention to Taeyeon who had her eyebrows rose up, probably taken off by her stupid smile.
Tiffany, being ecstatic of the situation, did not care about anything as she clung her hand to Taeyeon's arm, "Let's go!" She flashes a smile then dragged the other together, heading towards the entrance.
After she placed her order, she turned to her right side, silently asking Taeyeon what's hers and Lami's but she was flustered when she saw Taeyeon avoided her eyes because just now, she was definitely sure Taeyeon looked at her. She just shrugged and after Taeyeon had already placed hers and Lami's orders, Taeyeon suddenly coughed that sounds forcefully and she could not help but glance at the girl. "You can let go of your hand now, I want to pay," Taeyeon suddenly said.
Right then, she wanted to dig her own grave. She mentally cursed after she removed her hand from Taeyeon's arm with an, "Oh." She awkwardly coughed as she received the look from the worker. She did not know how did her hand even there. She rubbed her arm and jolted a bit when someone suddenly slides their hand onto hers. She looked a her side and was met with Lami's cute grin that made her grins too. She tightened the grip and turned back her fully attention in front.
"Hey, you shouldn't have paid for me too," she frowned when she saw her bills also included into Taeyeon's bills. She felt very unfair because firstly, it was supposed to be hers and Lami's day but Taeyeon had to ruin it. And lastly, Taeyeon paid for everything as if she could not afford them and it freaking pissed her off.
She was expecting for an answer but Taeyeon just ignored her and picked up the tray instead.
For the umpteenth time of the day, she huffed in annoyance. Reluctantly, she carefully guided Lami out from the crowds and followed suit the other girl. Once they had reached the table that was far away from other people, she helped Lami first then she seated down and tried very hard to control her anger towards the architect.
One thing that she realized was that, the architect had avoided her eyes as she distributed their food and drinks. She cocked an eyebrow because of the action. "Unnie, unwrap this for me please?" Lami broke the silence and gave the burger to her. When she wanted to take the burger from Lami, Taeyeon also wanted to do the same thing so as the result, Taeyeon's hand was right above Tiffany's. Tiffany's face turned into bright red instantly because of the contact, "Oh, sorry." She heard Taeyeon said and let go of the burger.
After the long dinner they had, in Tiffany's opinion because it was the most awkward dinner she ever had, they headed back to home. While their on the way, for the second time of the day, Lami had fell asleep again at the back and just like a dejavu, the car breaks into an awkward silence again as the radio did not turn on.
Tiffany never liked quiteness, she was always the one who initiates a conversation but when she's with Taeyeon, it was like her mouth suddenly gets stiffed. And Taeyeon on the other hand, did not feel like wants to talk to her at all so she just let the silence engulfed in.
She sighed deeply then took out her phone from the bag. She did not even check her phone for the whole day and it freaked her out when she saw she had 12 missed calls from non other than her best friend, Jessica. Afraid that she might be missing out something important, she called back the number and waited for the person on the other line to pick it up.
"Oh, look who's calling me... The bestest best friend that didn't pick her best friend's calls."
Tiffany rolled her eyes on the sarcastic remarks. Jessica Jung was not your typical type of friend.
"Geez, I was busy okay. Why did you call me?"
"I'm busy now. Will call you back later, bye."
And just like that, Jessica just ended the call without waiting for her goodbye. Her revenge of getting me back is so stupid.
She locked her phone when she had already done checking all the messages that were not so important to reply instantly and put it away.
"Who's that?"
She was taken aback by the question and looked at the architect, "I'm sorry? Whoever that was, it's none of your business." She cocked an eyebrow, as if challenging the architect. It was on time too that the car halted at the traffic light when the architect gave her a look, "Don't use that words on me."
"Oh, so you're saying you can use that on me but I can't use it on you? You're joking right?" She retorts back. If Taeyeon wants a fight, then she's going to get it. Tiffany Hwang did not know the word "losing."
They had a glaring contest until a car horn breaks it because the light had turned green.
"I don't know why you're so mean to me..." Tiffany mumbled to herself. She was tired, she just wanted to make a friend but she gets rejected most of the times. She just stared at the window and sighed again.
When the car halted, she quickly unfastened her seatbelt. She wanted to head back to her home as soon as possible so when she tried to unlock the car door, it gets locked again. With a tired face, she faced the architect, "Whar are you doing?"
"Give me your phone," was the reply she gets. It was not a question, it was a command and she did not know why, she actually gave her phone without any second thought. She watched as Taeyeon punched the numbers here and there and it took a few seconds for her to know what was Taeyeon doing.
Taking the phone after she was done, Tiffany leaned forward and planted a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you." And stepped out of the car then ran towards her home like a lightning, missed out the stupid grin that plastered on Taeyeon's face.
