"You'll be busy running all day that you will find you rarely have time to even breathe" Yuri stated as she busily run through with the checking list, making sure that the TaengSicStar closet has the outfit she has ordered it before they goes to Japan. Tiffany has her mouth slightly open when she hears Yuri saying so. "Go get the idols order for their breakfast and then you can go buy the food quickly" Yuri continued. Tiffany just quietly nods her head, it's been a week, and she has managed to get the hang of it. When it wasn't this busy, Yuri would be chilling and telling her a lot of managing stuffs to run a company or showbiz but when her manager was busy like this, she might at times say things without thinking.
After taking note of what Jessica wants, Tiffany make her way to the other room, she found the dork lying on the couch with her head against one of her arms behind her head and the other hand holding up a list of her schedule.
"What would you like for breakfast, Taeyeon-sshi?" Tiffany asked, but the idol was just staring blankly back at her causing her to blush a little bit and also slightly bothered by the intense stare.
Taeyeon sit up on the couch, she place the papers on her lap, "I don't know what they have here in Japan..."
"Just tell me what are your favourites and I'll try my best to get it"
Taeyeon has her eyebrows raise upwards, "Really? Even if I want, young radish kimchi rice pot?" she teases. Tiffany stayed quiet. Taeyeon look at how Tiffany was being impatient already and she knew that this girl is most probably being ordered to do a lot of stuffs today, she smile to herself as she lowers her head, "What do you eat for breakfast, Tiffany?" Taeyeon asked in return, causing Tiffany to be puzzle with the situation.
"..what"
"You hear me"
"Well- down the streets here, one of the store sells delicious bacon bun"
"I'll have that then." Taeyeon replied and pick up her papers again as she starts reading them.
"But I am not sure if it suits your taste-" Tiffany said as she knows Jessica is very picky when it comes to food, she once just made the decision on her own and bought the lunch back, causing Jessica to storm out from the room in anger as the young idol stated she has been waiting long.
"No. Just go ahead. I will be fine with what you like" answers Taeyeon.
"Okay" Tiffany decide not to continue questioning the idol, as she makes her way to the door-
"Make that two" Taeyeon stated without looking at her.
"Two?" Tiffany repeat the word just in case if she has heard wrongly, but the idol seems to be ignoring her.
When Tiffany came back, she hands the food to all the staffs, she then only makes her way to the room that Taeyeon is in. But the idol is no longer on the couch, Tiffany only sees the list laying on the couch, she begins to wonder where have Taeyeon left. She decided to leave the food there on the couch and then return to Yuri to see what task she has to do next. As she was about to leave, Tiffany shrieks a little bit, seeing Taeyeon by the door, smirking at her.
Taeyeon walks to the couch, "Come. Follow me" Taeyeon starts walking to a different direction.
"Where to? I have som-"
"In case you have forgotten, you work for me as well" Taeyeon smirks, walking to one of the door, she opens the door and Tiffany realize it was a small storeroom, "After you"
Tiffany doesn't want to argue to much so she just do what Taeyeon asked her to. Taeyeon closes the door as they both settles inside the small storeroom, the two ended up sitting on the floor.
"What is it, Taeyeon-sshi?"
Taeyeon pull out one of the bacon bun and unwraps it, she hands it to Tiffany.
The worker could only look at the idol, wondering what is going on.
"If you go back out there, you won't have a chance to eat your breakfast...the event will start later on" Taeyeon reaches out to grab hold of Tiffany's hand to take the offer after that, she pulls out her own bacon bun, she takes a big bite, chewing it deliciously, nodding her head, "Not bad" she continues to chew the bun but she slows down when she sees Tiffany watching her. Taeyeon pushes the bacon bun as the sauce smudge Tiffany's lips, causing Taeyeon to giggle a little bit.
"Eat. We- no...you need to be quick, remember"
"So, this was the reason why you asked me to buy 2 bacon buns?" Tiffany ask.
Taeyeon nods her head without looking at Tiffany, missing out the small smile that creeps onto Tiffany's face.
"You drink some tea" Taeyeon pushes the only cup to Tiffany, the two gets out from the room. Tiffany places the cup on the table as she took a sip, she believes Yuri has been looking for her and she is afraid that she might get scolded, "She won't. I'll tell her that i have something to get that i want you to find it...so i was the delay of your return, she won't scold you for that" Taeyeon return sitting on the couch, "Thank you for the small date back there" Taeyeon smirks as she pick up the list again. Before Tiffany could say anything, someone came in. Seeing Taeyeon is on the couch, Jessica immediately rushes to the dork's side.
"Taengoo~ have you eaten?" she ask as her fingers brushes Taeyeon's fringe up.
"Yep"
Tiffany froze for a moment there at how this two weren't bothered by their skinship.
Jessica reaches out to take the cup of tea, but without any further question, she shove the tip of the straw right in between Taeyeon's lips, causing the elder latter to look at Tiffany directly.
"Wae..." Jessica looks at Tiffany, wondering why Taeyeon was staring at the girl, their worker.
What she didn't know was, the straw was previously just used by Tiffany.
"Is there anything else?" Jessica asked Tiffany, mistaken to think that Taeyeon was feeling uncomfortable in this situation because the two normally does this all the time.
"N-nothing.." Tiffany bows a little bit before leaving the two some privacy.
"Taengoo, your lips are getting really dry, you need to moisturize it" Jessica sighs as she place the cup down in between her thighs, "Eyes up here, Taengoo" she lift Taeyeon's chin up with her index finger.
"You have anything to moisture it?" Taeyeon ask wittily.
"I have a lip balm if you want it..."
"Lip balm are for pussies" Taeyeon being the boyish one groans.
"Lip balm are for lips not pussy" Jessica rolls her eyes, she didn't know why Taeyeon would still deny the fact that she was too boyish.
"You help me to moisturize my lips, Sica?" Taeyeon smiles cunningly.
"How? You don't even want the lip balm"
"Your tongue"
Jessica smacks Taeyeon numerously, but the other girl was just laughing as though it was ticklish instead of pain.
Taeyeon somehow felt a little bit relief that no one knows her that well yet in Japan, is their newly debut anyway, so on her off day, she had Yuri to agreed on letting Tiffany be her assistant for the day. The two walks into a boutique. Taeyeon walks to one of the stand and hand pick a baby peach lace skirt, middle knee length. She then walks to the shirt section and picked out one baby pink lacy singlet.
"Try this" Taeyeon hand it to Tiffany.
"What? Why?"
Taeyeon just ignores to Tiffany's question.
"I'm not going to-"
Taeyeon's glares made Tiffany's word stuck in the middle of her throat.
"Is for someone, so, could you just try?" Taeyeon ask in a softer tone.
Tiffany hesitated for a second, but not wanting to argue with the artist she is working with, she forcefully takes the shirt and skirt that Taeyeon picked, with full disappointment, she walks into one of the changing room, completely missed out the grin that Taeyeon had on her face. Not wanting much attention while waiting for Tiffany, Taeyeon pulled her hoodie up.
5 minutes later, Tiffany walks out from the changing room, getting looks from the workers and also the customers. Tiffany has her hair pull and lay on the right side of her shoulder, showing her left all bare. Even Taeyeon is mesmerize by the beauty standing in front of her.
"You look good" Taeyeon stated.
"Can i change now?" Tiffany ask uncomfortably, with all the stares she is getting right now, she doesn't want all this attention.
One of the sales girl walks to Taeyeon and hands the paper bag to Taeyeon, "Thanks" Taeyeon then looks at Tiffany, "Let's go, i can see you are getting uncomfortable"
"I need to change-" Tiffany hissed, but Taeyeon held her back from returning to the changing room.
"Your shirt is all in there" Taeyeon points to the paper bag that Tiffany is holding.
Feeling odd, Tiffany take a look in the paper bag, indeed, her clothes are in there, "But-"
Taeyeon has already dragged her out from the boutique.
"Taeyeon-sshi" Tiffany stay still right outside of the boutique, she looks at the idol in front of her suspiciously, "Did you planned this from the beginning? Why"
Taeyeon smiles to herself, she sighs as she looks at the blue skies above them, "No, I'll have you return it to me at the end of the day"
"You're really weird" stated Tiffany.
"And you're really pretty" Taeyeon said in return, causing the girl to blush unknowingly.
Tiffany has no idea what Taeyeon was planning and she definitely have no idea of when Taeyeon's mood is going to change again, she even begin to wonder if this girl has personality disorder, but seeing that it was a task given by her manager Yul, she had no choice but to follow the idol around. They ended up in a cafe.
"So, what are you going to do after studying the whole semester?" Taeyeon ask as she stirs the cup of coffee, looking at Tiffany who took a sip of her chocolate shake.
"I'll probably help my dad out or i'll be taking the attorney course"
Taeyeon's eyes widens, "A lawyer"
"Yes"
Taeyeon nods her head, with full admiration from her expression.
"Do you plan to sing forever?" Tiffany ask.
Taeyeon laugh a little bit, "Forever is a bit too long, but honestly..i have no idea"
Standing outside of the cafe, it suddenly rain, although Taeyeon took out her jacket and had it cover above their heads, but the two still ended up wet once they reached their rented studio.
It was pitched black since the rest of the staffs has return back to their hotel for a rest.
"Wait here" Taeyeon rushes off, but she came back twice faster than she leave where Tiffany was.
Taeyeon throws a towel right on top of Tiffany's wet hair, with no further delay, she starts drying Tiffany's hair with full concentration, not knowing that the girl was watching her every move in a serious mode.
A loud lightning strikes, shaking the whole building a little bit.
Tiffany who was shock and frighten, steps forward, closer to the idol in front of her, not realizing their closeness, but the idol did, her rubbings slower down, Tiffany was practically in her arms if she decide to hug the latter, but knowing she should not in any way take advantages of this situation, Taeyeon reaches out for Tiffany's hands and made the girl hold the towel on her head.
"I'll go find the power button and switch the lights on, okay?" Taeyeon ask, making sure the girl is fine with her leaving. Tiffany nods her head.
***Broooooooooooom~~!***
"OPPA!"
Tiffany has both her hands covering each side of her ears, trying her best to block out the sound of the fierce lightning roaring.
A pair of arms came from behind her and hugged her tightly, she turn around fast enough so she could hug him back and has her face hidden.
"Hey~~ I'm here...don't worry, the lights went out, guessed the lightning strike the main power box.." he said as he hugs her tightly, "Still scare?" he ask as his fingers runs through her hair, she nods her head timidly, looking back at him.
Though it was dark, but the room was slightly lid up with the candles that he prepared.
"I have a way to make you forget the lightning completely..." he said.
"How, oppa?"
"Want to know?" he smiles.
She nods her head innocently, but yelp a little bit when he suddenly carry her up in his arms.
They were just looking at each other intensely as he makes his way to the couch and place her there. Taking it slow, he climbs on top of her.
"Oppa..." her voice trembles.
"Shhh.. I just want to make you forget, Tiffany" he said in a promising voice.
She trusted him and she doesn't want to question him any further.
When he leans forward, she knew what they were about to do, she has her eyes shut tightly and lets him kiss her. The kiss slowly becomes more intense, his tongue was sliding into her mouth and true enough, the kiss has leaded her out of her worries.
"Er, Miyoung?" Taeyeon wave her hand a little bit in front of the spaced out latter.
Tiffany snapped out from her past memories, she looks at Taeyeon, the girl's face was practically wet, her fringe was dripping wet, "GOSH! You might fall sick" Tiffany said worriedly, afraid that Yuri might kill her for not looking after her idol well, taking the towel around her neck off, she starts wiping Taeyeon's face to dry, but her hands retreated when the lightning strikes again.
"You're afraid of lightning..."
Tiffany nods her head embarrassingly.
"I have a way to make you forget about the lightning"
Tiffany's eyes widens, she looks at Taeyeon in shock, but only receive a calm smile from the idol who stood up and walks to the piano, "Come here" Taeyeon ask her to.
Half cursing herself for thinking too much, Tiffany made her way to the piano as quickly as she could since she has no idea when the lightning would strike again.
Taeyeon slide to the other side of the bench to make space for Tiffany, "Sit here" and Tiffany did with no obligation, though her heart begins to wonder what the idol is going to do in order to make her forget about the lightning. Taeyeon think for awhile, when she had a song in her mind, she stretch her fingers a little bit, wiggles them a little bit, before she starts playing the keys on the piano.
"I'd like to say we gave it a try, I'd like to blame it all on life, maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie"
Tiffany realizes that Taeyeon is singing Ariana's soundtrack of 'Almost Is Never Enough' and coincidentally, it is one of her favourite songs as well, but it wasn't because it's one of her favourite song that Taeyeon was singing caught her attention, is the way the song was played, the way Taeyeon was feeling into the song, the way her voice was projecting the voice. The delicate soft fingers playing and pressing against each key of the piano, the way Taeyeon's jaw structure would should when she sings in a powerful key, it was a beauty, a beautiful sight.
Soon, even the lightning that struck a few times, during the singing session.
Tiffany doesn't seem to be oblivious about it.
She is more of drawn towards the beauty singing so beautiful in front of her.
