"Fany ahhh~~"

Taeyeon runs to Tiffany's side, "why did you leave so quickly yesterday…I miss you being in my room…it's been a month already since you last step into my room"

"yah…" Tiffany holds Taeyeon's arm, as they two steps into the shopping mall.

It was a Saturday, and both of them decide to just hang out in the mall and maybe catch some movies later, "its that all you care about?"

"no, how are your arms" Taeyeon ask, knocking her head against Tiffany's.

"how did you know" Tiffany ask suspiciously.

"your phone didn't even ring, when you lied about your dad calling"

"i-"

"you are seriously bad in lying, hwang miyoung"

Tiffany stops walking, looking at Taeyeon, more like glaring.

"how did you know that name?!"

"I saw your identification card the other day" Taeyeon chuckles.

"urgh" Tiffany swings Taeyeon's arm away, storming away, Taeyeon quickly chase up behind.

"wae…"

"what do you mean why! You know why!"

"okay okay, I wasn't suppose to ransack your handbag, im sorry"

Tiffany huff her bloated cheeks with air, puffing her cheeks. Making Taeyeon kissing each sides of her cheeks, which made her smile shyly.

"awww, don't be mad at me anymore…" Taeyeon pleaded.

"promise not to be so naughty anymore?"

"wow, hey, look, Super Junior's latest single" Taeyeon walks to the CD store.

"yah, Kim Tae Yeon, stop changing the top- what…."

Taeyeon got down on one knee, looking up at Tiffany.

Passerby was actually stopping to see what is going on.

"what are you doing taeyeon, get up~~~~~~!" Tiffany hiss.

"Tiffany Hwang, would you please be my girlfriend for as long as I am breathing?" Taeyeon ask earnestly.

Oooh and Ahhhh's were heard from the crowds, some were giggling shyly, some were watching Tiffany with the feeling of jealousy.

"taeyeon….."

"please accept this ring as a yes"

"say yes!"

One of the crowds starts screaming, making the rest start cheering the same.

Tiffany looks around her and she sees people encouraging her by nodding their head, supporting her to accept Taeyeon.

Finally, with teary eyes, Tiffany look back at Taeyeon, smiling, as she nods her head, tears finally falls out from her eyes.

"SHE ACCEPTED!" Taeyeon cheers loudly and everyone else starts clapping their hands.

Whistling at them to, Taeyeon got up and put the ring around Tiffany's finger.

Slowly, the crowds left, Tiffany hugs Taeyeon.

"you're a dork" Tiffany stated.

"shall we go Lotte World?" Taeyeon ask as she stops her car at one of her traffic light.

Yes, although still being in her teens, she has legally got her car license earlier on.

"up to you though, im cool with it" Tiffany smiles, still remembering the sweet scene Taeyeon made, whenever she looks at the ring around her middle finger. Taeyeon caught how Tiffany was reacting, she too, was happy on the inside.

"did this cost a lot, Taeyeon ahh?" Tiffany bring her hand up, inspecting the ring under the sun through the window, "you know I wouldn't wan-"

"no worries. No one is going to thought you were with me because you are a gold digger or something…I wont let people sees you that way" Taeyeon assures.

They stop behind the small jam made by the few cars ahead of them.

Tiffany was looking out of the window and suddenly.

"hey…I didn't know is right above Lotte World" Tiffany suddenly stated.

"hmmm?" Taeyeon leans forward to her knees, trying to look up to see what Tiffany is talking about.

"see that grey building above Lotte World?" Tiffany pointed out.

"dae~"

"My dad works there, I remember he brought me there many years ago"

"wait..what..?"

"I said, my dad works in that building" Tiffany answers.

Suddenly, Taeyeon becomes quiet and Tiffany realizes the silence in between them, she looks at Taeyeon curiously, "what's the matter Taeyeon?"

Taeyeon shook her head, "nothing" she fake a smile.

Taeyeon let out a sigh, as her mind has been bothered ever since the afternoon, till late evening now, she has sent Tiffany home for a bath, because they planned to go out for dinner later on.

Letting the pen in between her fingers keep twirling, Taeyeon seems really bothered to the point her maid, notice.

"Master Tae-"

"Nicole…come here, sit by me" Taeyeon ask for and Nicole a comply.

"Maste-"

Taeyeon press an index finger up on Nicole's lips, "no one is here, you don't need to…"

**FLASHBACK**

"Taeyeon, this absurd, you can never simply bring one child back and ask us to raise her" Mrs. Kim was sighing and rubbing her temples as she tries to soothe her anger down.

"but she's in trouble mummy, if we don't save her, who else will" the 8 year old child frowns, not letting go of Nicole's hand who is sitting by her side all the while, ever since last night, she was sort of save by little Tae.

"someone. The child care or adoption-"

"NO" for the first time, the young Taeyeon raise her voice to her parents, "I am not going to let anyone take Nicole away and no way I am seeing her leave my side"

"ABSURD! What were you thinking? She's a lost puppy?" Mrs. Kim looks at her daughter, bewildered, "honey~ do something, don't just sit there and watch…say something to your daughter"

Mr. Kim sigh, "Taeyeon, your mum is right-"

"Is alright, Taeyeon, Mr. and Mrs. Kim, I've been bothering you all, all night…is time for me to leave-"

Taeyeon shakes her head continuously, "you're not leaving"

"may I have a word with you, Taeng? Privately" Mr. Kim stands up and leaves the living room.

Taeyeon looks at her mum for a moment, before returning her tender gaze back at Nicole.

Taeyeon tip toe on her toes and reach out to pats on Nicole's head, although she cant reach to the top, "stay here, I'll be right back..dont you dare leave me"

Nicole can only nods her head.

Taeyeon steps into her father room, as he closes the door and lead Taeyeon to sit on his bed.

"Taeyeon…Nicole is not a pet"

"dad, im 8, I can differentiate a human and an animal"

"Im happy you can, then why…"

"dad, she needs our help, aren't you're the one who teaches me, don't only take, remember to give back..help when we are capable for it, lend a hand when we are able to do so"

Mr. Kim is slightly impressed with his 8 year old, who actually reminds him a lot about Taeyeon's real birth mother, who is also someone who cares a lot about someone else.

"adopting needs procedure" Mr Kim looks at Taeyeon.

"it doesn't takes long, you can stay in a room all day long for a failed plan for your company at times.. Why cant you take an hour of your time, to save someone and make her happy?"

"taeyeon…you don't understand-"

"no, you adults are the one I don't get it.." Taeyeon jumps off from the bed, "mum would've agree with me, I know so"

Mr. Kim look at his daughter who is looking disappointed.

"if I were you, dad, I show the woman out there, who's the man of the house"

"Taeyeon…that's your mum you are talking about"

"my real mum isnt that heartless and all talking about image and pride, I believe.."

"how would you know" Mr. Kim question, feeling how cute her daughter can ever be.

"because I inherit her attitude and personality" Taeyeon answers and leaves the room.

Mr. Kim watch as the door closes, he took out his wallet from the back of his pants pocket.

Flipping his wallet open, there's a picture of a beautiful fair looking lady in it.

He sighs and never failed to smile whenever he sees his first wife's picture, which its Taeyeon's birth mother.

"our daughter really inherited a lot about you…looking at her grow each day, makes me misses you even more" he sighs, "strong and kind hearted, easily hurt but always, stands up for people whom you believe for…she got all these from you, definitely" he smiles.

Taeyeon has her calves dangling at the edge of the couch, everyone is waiting for Mr. Kim's decision. Taeyeon sat up straight when she sees her dad walking out from the room.

"I've think about it and decide to take Nicole into our family"

"yes" taeyeon cheers but at the same time, "what?!" Mrs. Kim look at her husband as though he has gone nuts.

"honey, is perfectly fine…we can afford to raise another child"

"that wasn't the point, what would people think about us?"

"….." Mr Kim sighs.

"maybe…you can hire me to be Taeyeon's maid…? Would it sound better?" Nicole suddenly speaks. Which Taeyeon surprise and shock with the word MAID coming out from Nicole.

"why maid? You can be my sist-"

"if you want a sister, I can give birth one to you, Taeyeon, someone who is blood related to you"

Taeyeon glares at Mrs. Kim direction, "so, should I not call you mum, since you are not in any way blood related to me?" she ask innocently, which literally flares anger in Mrs. Kim eyes.

"Taeyeon gwenchana…I like the idea too" Nicole hugs Taeyeon by the side.

Taeyeon throws all her story books onto the floor from the bed, to let out her frustration.

While Nicole quietly walk over and bend down to pick the books up.

"stop it" Taeyeon walks to Nicole, which is surprisingly, crying, "wae….."

"im scare to see you act that way taeyeon~ it scares me" Nicole sobs.

"no…don't cry" Taeyeon kneels in front of Nicole, using her fingers to wipe those trailing tears off from Nicole's cheek, "sorry…"

"how could you be sorry when you just saved my life~" Nicole hugs Taeyeon right away.

"I want you to be my friend, my best friend, not a servant" Taeyeon sighs.

"doesn't matter" Nicole breaks the hug, looking at Taeyeon, "think of me as a secret spy under disguise"

"I promise I will always be there for you Nicole" Taeyeon swears.

**END OF FLASHBACK**

"I have a hunch that my mum is up to something" taeyeon sighs out.

"like what?" Nicole tries her hard to study on Taeyeon's expression.

Taeyeon shrugs her shoulders, "I cant be sure about it yet…and you know I don't like pointing fingers…"

Nicole smiles, "yes, I know…Master Taeyeon…can I ask you something?"

"sure" Taeyeon answers with a blank expression as her mind worries of something else.

"are you really…in a relationship with Ms. Hwang?"

Taeyeon now looks at Nicole, "why? You think is some fraud that I made up to give my mum a heart attack?" Taeyeon laughs out, "of course its real..i love Tiffany Hwang a lot more than she loves me"

"a…a lot more than she loves you?"

Taeyeon nods her head, "the fact is, I do love her more.."

"doesn't ms Hwang loves you?"

Taeyeon shrugs her shoulders, "I know she has feelings for me, sometimes, she is just unsure about it" Taeyeon yawns.

"why~" Nicole ask, but Taeyeon was only mumbling incoherently till she doze off on her study table on her folded arms, Nicole looks at the tired looking Taeyeon.

Recently, Taeyeon has been waking up 5 hours earlier. Her school only starts at 10am, but Tiffany's class in the University starts at 6am. Taeyeon would personally send Tiffany off to class and come back home for a quick short while nap, as it would just only causes more tiredness for herself.

Nicole beams a sorry smile when she hears light snores coming out from Taeyeon.

Seeing that is only the two of them at home, Nicole daringly, reaches out and touch Taeyeon's hair slowly, stroking it in her fingers.

"how can someone be so unsure about their feelings towards someone who is so wonderful"

**FLASHBACK**

"Nicole, go get Taeyeon ready" mr. Kim pointed out as Nicole nods her head and heads to Taeyeon's room, she knock a few times to acknowledge Taeyeon, who is inside that she is about to come in, seeing that there is no response, Nicole slowly twist the door click opens.

Nicole makes her way to the 17 year old Taeyeon, who is sleeping soundly in her bed.

"Master Tae" she whisper, but Taeyeon barely move.

Nicole sits on the bed, right by sleeping Taeyeon, "Mas-"

Nicole eyes widens, the moment Taeyeon moves a little and however place a hand on her thigh, expose thighs, since she is wearing a skirt. But of course, Taeyeon is unaware of the situation, seeing she is still snoring and had her mouth open a little. Nicole giggles at the sight.

"Master~~~"

This time, her calling stirs Taeyeon a little, but not enough to wake the latter up, it cause Taeyeon to brush her hand a little more on Nicole's thigh, which actually made Nicole sighs a little at the touch.

This is wrong Nicole, snap out of it! – Nicole.

But the heat that comes from the touch of Taeyeon's hand, sends all kind of vibes to Nicole's body, she looks at the sleeping latter, who is still not awake, Taeyeon really has beautiful features to admire about. From how her eyes oddly shape, that look like they were perfected to shaped that way, different from many others. Down to the small cute while nose, and then it goes down to her lips. The fine thin top lips, that's what made her smile pretty, it shows the top of her teeth in a row, whenever she smiles dorkily.

Nicole lick her lips and lean down, slowly capturing those beautiful lips she has longing for.

But she got back to her sense and clasp a hand over her mouth, disbelief of what she has just did.

"our first kiss…"
