What are you doing right now?
Where are you?
You always pay attention to this when it comes to the person you like.
First...
"Lovey-dovey!"
Then...
"Not enough. Nowhere near enough!"
And that ticked Tiffany off.
"Why don't you get it?" Taeyeon tapped the storyboard she was given, "They're united after 3 years, right? After passing by each other, it becomes a mutual love, so make it more heart throbbing and affectionate, idiot!"
"D- Did I not do that?" Tiffany clenched her hands angrily.
"Like I said, it's not enough. You have come this far, don't be so unwilling." Taeyeon handed the storyboard back to Tiffany, "Redo it and correct it quickly!"
"Even though you say that..." Tiffany flipped through the storyboard with a frown.
"What?"
"Nothing. Thank you very much!" Tiffany humphed before turning around and walking back to her desk. Feeling frustrated with everything, she decided to take a walk inside the building to cool her head a little.
Lovey-dovey
Why so specific? There's no way I can ask...
This is troublesome. I can just tell the author I don't understand.
Confess, hug, and then kiss?
That alone is enough, right?!
What exactly is romance...?
"I want to be super lovey-dovey with you." - Taeyeon
What?!
Why am I thinking about that right now?!
Tiffany's face flushed upon recalling what Taeyeon said and ended up banging her head on the wall in frustration.
Am I an Idiot?!
Go away, memories!
"Hey."
Turning around, Tiffany saw that it was Taeyeon looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Wh- What is it!" She yelled grumpily.
"What are you doing? It's weird."
Tiffany saw that a couple of employees who were passing by were staring at them, "I'm just stretching." She fixed her hair with one swift flip and proceeded to walk with Taeyeon trailing behind her.
"Ha? If you break the wall, you will have to repair it out of your own pocket." Taeyeon said stoically.
"I won't break it!"
"Hmm, so what are you worried about?"
"What? No...I'm not really that worried."
"Liar."
"I'm not lying. I was just thinking about ways in which to best show affection." She glared at Taeyeon.
Tiffany took a step back in surprise when Taeyeon blocked her way, "Wh- What?"
"Is this about the storyboard?" Taeyeon paused, "Or is it for you?"
"Ha?!"
Before Tiffany could even protest, She was pulled inside of the coffee which was empty, "Wh- What?" She questioned as Taeyeon let her back rest on the wall.
"I will teach you," Taeyeon said.
"Huh?"
Tiffany didn't know what was coming but she indeed did want to know what lovey-dovey is.
"At first, hold hands cutely." Taeyeon held Tiffany's left hand with her right, "A kiss on the hand is also good." As said, Taeyeon did lift Tiffany's hand up and kissed it softly, "Then a tight hug."
Tiffany found herself engulfed in a warm tight hug and she indeed did not hate it despite her mind telling her to push Taeyeon away.
"Isn't a kiss on the head good?"
"It's not!"
Despite Tiffany's protest, Taeyeon chuckled and placed another soft kiss on Tiffany's hair.
Tiffany settled with glaring at Taeyeon, fully knowing that her slightly red cheeks were betraying her.
Upon seeing that Tiffany did not push her away nor do anything in refusal, Taeyeon held her chin to look up and made their lips meet.
"Please stop!" Tiffany yelled and finally pushed Taeyeon away, "What are you doing at work?!"
"Sexual harassment," Taeyeon replied nonchalantly.
"You know and you're still doing it?!" Tiffany huffed and turned around, "I'm heading home!"
"Tiffany."
"Thanks for your hard work!" Tiffany ignored Taeyeon and slammed the door shut leaving Taeyeon all alone.
Taeyeon sighed and stared at the door, after a few moments of silence she sighed again and rubbed her hair in frustration, "Lovey-dovey...it's difficult."
Is she an idiot? Using a joke as an excuse when she just wants to sexually harass me. I will think about it myself!
Tiffany angrily shoved some magazines between her arms as she was in a bookstore looking for some reference materials on love and relationships.
"Tiff!"
She turned around upon hearing a familiar voice calling for her and there, behind her was Shindong standing, "It's been a while." Tiffany smiled.
"Good afternoon. Heading home after work?" Shindong smiled back with a wave.
"Yeah."
Shindong's eyes widened for a moment when he saw the magazines between Tiffany's arms before nodding in approval. They were all related to love and relationships some way or another, "So even Tiffany reads that kind of magazines."
"Y- You're wrong!" Tiffany took a step back getting all flustered, "These are references for my comic. I have corrections for the love parts in my storyboard, but I understand..."
"Is that so? Then that's good!" Shindong grinned widely and smacked Tiffany's back lightly.
"What is it?" Tiffany was confused.
"If you have some time, do you want to eat? After all, I'm a romance comics editor too. How about asking me?"
"Like. I. Said." Shindong slurred as he slammed the beer glass on the table.
"Sh- Shindong...it's better not to do that..." Tiffany grimaced and warned Shindong about slamming the beer glass on the table.
"So it's true?! You're actually an editor who's still happy with her life?!" Ignoring Tiffany's warning, Shindong continued slamming the beer glass on the table, "What kind of life cycle do you need to be able to do that?I really don't understand!"
At that moment, Tiffany regretted every choice she had ever made in her whole life. Why the hell did she agree to this?
"Every day, ever day, every single day, I'm doing my rounds. When I was getting employed, I had nice clothes and condoms and a fighting spirit! When it becomes dark it doesn't even matter! It's okay, right? Long live sweat pants! Do you even need condoms in the first place?!"
Tiffany smiled sheepishly, she certainly does not need condoms with how her sex life is going...or her partner for that matter, "Ah...you sure have it hard..." She said.
This is regrettably the long course...
"But really wouldn't it be better to ask the others at Emerald?" Shindong asked quietly having finally calmed down.
Tiffany looked at him questionably.
"It's because everyone there is gorgeouuus and apparently gay as fuuuuuck" He shrugged.
"Ah...I wonder about that. I don't know." Tiffany frowned, other than Taeyeon, none of the other three seemed gay to her, "They're always just doing their job..."
Yuri is always occupied by Jung Sooyeon which is why they are rumored to be dating, although Jung Sooyeon was never seen by anyone. That would also mean that Yuri might be gay because Jung Sooyeon is actually a girl.
Sunny is always busy on her phone texting on break time so she wouldn't know who it might be or even what their gender is. All she knows is that Sunny goes to a certain bookstore a lot to wait for someone. A certain tall someone.
Hyoyeon is...well...Hyoyeon is honestly one big mystery.
"That's right! Kim Taeyeon-ssi! Ask that girl!"
"What? Why?" Tiffany sunk back in her seat at the mention of Taeyeon.
"No, there's that rumor about her playing around." He hiccuped and took another big chug out of his beer glass.
"Ah~" Tiffany nodded, remembering hearing about that before, "Shindong, about what you just said. Where did you hear that rumor from?"
"Eh? Ahh," Shindong rubbed his black hair trying to remember before an imaginary light bump lit up above his head, "Donghae!"
What...
"Wheeeeee~"
"Shindong, here, can you walk steadily?" Tiffany frowned in annoyance as she tried to balance Shindong's body that is leaning on her. They just stumbled out of the restaurant and Shindong is too wasted to walk on his own.
"I sssaid I'm fiiiiiine." He slurred, clearly way too drunk to function probably, "If I catch a taxi, It's just a straight line home~"
"I got it, I got it. Wait a little bit. I will catch a taxi..." Tiffany's ringing phone distracted her from getting a cap. She did not need any more trouble right now, "Yes?" She answered in an annoyed manner and did not even bother to look at the caller's name.
"Where are you?"
"Taeyeon?" She almost gasped when she heard Taeyeon's voice through her phone.
"I'm heading home now, have you eaten? If not, I will buy food for both of us."
"Why both of us?"
"Idiot. I'm specifically in charge of your meals." Taeyeon said as a matter of fact.
"But I told you, you don't have to," Tiffany said, annoyed.
"Hey, hey. Tiff, what are youuuuuu talking about? It shoundsss fun~~~~" Shindong said and leaning in closer to Tiffany.
"...who is that?" Taeyeon asked after a moment of silence.
"What?" Tiffany raised an eyebrow, "It's Shindong. He's someone I worked with at my old company. You met him before." Tiffany huffed.
"I didn't."
"You did, it was that time at Sookyung-nim's autograph signing!" Tiffany questioned herself. Why did she feel like she should explain to Taeyeon, "I casually ran into him at the bookstore, we just ate dinner, nothing more."
"Eating with men isn't needed." Taeyeon certainly did not sound pleased.
Tiffany sighed, "We talked about work. Anyways, I have to get him into a taxi, I'm hanging up." Tiffany heard Taeyeon huff and imagined how she ran her fingers through her hair stressfully like she always does.
"Be careful going home."
Tiffany paused, taking the time to swallow and take a breath because she just lost it. Why does Taeyeon showing her care always has that effect on her? "Yes, yes, thank you very much." She quickly hung up her phone and put it back in her bag before leaning down to pull Shindong off the sidewalk, "Here, Shindong, stand up."
Shindong had his head between his arms that were resting on top of his knees, "I'm tired. I'm sleepy~" He whined.
"Gaaaaah Shindong, come on!" Tiffany tried to pull Shindong up but it was no use, he didn't even budge.
"Hey! It's Tiffany-ssi!"
Tiffany's eyes widened when she heard yet another familiar voice above her. She looked up only to meet Donghae's eyes. He had a questionable tender smile on his face that turned amused the second he saw the state Shindong is in.
"Ah. Donghae-ssi"
"You're with Shindong too?" Donghae smiled down at Shindong who was hugging his knees with his head down.
"Yes, we were eating. What about you Donghae-ssi?" Tiffany unconsciously stood up straight.
"I just finished dining together with a friend and was about to head off." Donghae smiled, "Ahhhh, really. He got this drunk again?" He ruffled his hair in frustration and leaned down trying to try and pull Shindong off the sidewalk, "Shindong, come one, get up. I delivered the manuscript."
"Ah?" Shindong squinted at Donghae as he pulled his arm away from him, "Ahhhhhh Donghae-ssiiiiii" He slurred Donghae's name and pointed at him as if he's the most interesting thing he had ever seen in his life.
"Yeah, yeah, it's Donghae." Donghae chuckled before turning to Tiffany, "Tiffany-ssi, find a taxi."
"Ah, yes." Tiffany obliged and stopped a taxi.
"That's right!" Shindong suddenly yelled and pointed his finger at Tiffany "Tiff, you should have Donghae-shi teach you about love!"
"Hm?" Donghae raised an eyebrow.
"Shindong!" Tiffany glared at him and was finally able to stop a taxi.
"It's cause he looks like he's comfortable with his life too. He will definitely understand!"
"Okay, okay, get in, get in." Tiffany pushed Shindong further inside the taxi and ignored his protests while Donghae wrote Shindong's address to the taxi driver.
A minute later Shindong was waving at the two from the window and the two waved back awkwardly.
The atmosphere got awkward for a few moments before Tiffany decided to break it, "Incredible. You seem so familiar with this." She chuckled, "By the way, thank you for helping with Shindong. You were a big help."
"It's fine." Donghae shrugged it off with a smile, "It has happened a lot, so I always do the same."
"Is...Is that so?" Tiffany chuckled awkwardly.
"Are you heading home?" Donghae changed the subject so it won't get awkward again.
"Ah, yeah."
"Then, shall we take the same taxi?"
"What? Ah, but..." Tiffany rubbed the back of her neck and looked away awkwardly.
"Don't hold back, we're heading the same way, right?"
The smile on Donghae's face made Tiffany feel uncomfortable somehow, not that it was wicked in any way, but it gave Tiffany a bad feeling. Despite that, Tiffany found herself sitting next to Donghae inside of a taxi.
W- Well, as long as Taeyeon doesn't know, it will be fine.
It's not like I have to be careful around Donghae.
"So?" Donghae turned to her with a relaxed smile on his face, "You wanted to talk to me about love?"
"Huh?" Tiffany looked at him with surprise.
"Shindong mentioned it earlier." He shrugged.
"Ah ha ha." Tiffany laughed awkwardly, "It's nothing, it's a bit embarrassing."
"Shoot away."
Tiffany hesitated for a moment but decided that it won't do her any harm to tell Donghae, "From my storyboard correction instructions, I have to make the main character's love better."
Donghae chuckled at that.
"So, when I went to get reference material, I ran into Shindong. Because he does romance comics as well, I thought I could ask him a lot of stuff, but..." Tiffany sighed with a little smile.
"Were you able to?"
"No. He only talked on and on mainly about work complaints and relationship problems."
"Hahaha, he's the same as ever." Donghae laughed a little before continuing, "But don't you personally know about that kind of stuff, Tiffany-ssi?"
Tiffany stayed silent. Embarrassed by her pathetic dating record. She had few to none boyfriends. None of them lasted more than a week.
"Isn't Tiffany-ssi popular?"
"No! I'm really not!" Tiffany's eyes widened. Wondering how Donghae even got that idea.
"You're kidding!" Donghae was surprised upon hearing that.
"No, it's true." Tiffany shook her hand in denial, "That's why I was told by Shindong to ask other editors."
"Like Taeyeon?"
"Eh? Ah, yes." Tiffany looked at her lap awkwardly when Donghae mentioned Taeyeon, "Ah but, he did mention that while drunk."
Donghae smirked and leaned on his palm, "Taeyeon can't help you." He said.
"What?" Tiffany looked at Donghae who was looking out the window.
"That girl can do her job, but can't do anything in regards to love. To sell romance comics about women's dreams. She has no experience to refer to."
Why does Donghae...
"I-...you see, had my lover stolen from me by Taeyeon," Donghae said with a calm smile that made Tiffany feel conflicted.
Huh?
"No, Taeyeon isn't that kind of person..." Tiffany protested but looked at her lap again to set her thoughts straight.
No
But now that you mention it...when she was at Weekly Earth, she did say she got involved in some trouble because of Donghae's love life.
Is that true?
Is this another story?
Then, is the rumor that Shindong mentioned really true?
Stealing another person's lover...
No way.
As expected, that thing, Taeyeon could never...
"Tiffany-ssi, do you love Taeyeon?"
"Huh?!"
Donghae almost burst out laughing at the priceless expression Tiffany had on her face.
"You- You're wrong! I'm not! Taeyeon is just my boss!" Tiffany shook her hands and head furiously.
"Is that so?" Donghae smiled softly.
"It is! Donghae-ssi, stop joking!" Tiffany covered her face and sighed in embarrassment.
A smirk on Donghae's face was visible as he stared out the window until they reached Tiffany's apartment building.
"Sorry, for having to ride together with me, but thank you very much," Tiffany said politely as she got out of the car.
"It's nothing. You couldn't talk that much with Shindong after all," Donghae smiled back politely.
"Ah, no. It was entirely my fault. Then, I have bothered you enough. I will take my leave-..."
"Tiffany..."
Tiffany's heart dropped to her stomach when she turned around to go up to her apartment but saw Taeyeon standing there. She gasped. Taeyeon looked pissed.
"Wh- Why are you here?" Tiffany asked in a state of panic.
"Why? I just got back here." Taeyeon raised an eyebrow, "Anyways."
Tiffany gulped upon hearing Taeyeon's icy tone
Taeyeon clenched her teeth, "Why are you with Donghae?!"
"I met him by coincidence when putting Shindong into the taxi. He helped me send him back. Also, we were going in the same way, so he let me ride with him. That's it-...hey wai-...Taeyeon!" Tiffany didn't even get the chance to finish her sentence as Taeyeon pulled her away by the hand.
"Bye, Tiffany-ssi!" Donghae waved from the car, "Bye Taeyeon..."
Taeyeon stopped for a moment to look at Donghae. She was clearly not pleased and settled with glaring at him as he smirked at her.
"Yes, yes." Donghae laughed with himself as he watched Taeyeon disappearing inside the apartment building with Tiffany trailing behind her or rather being forced to, "It's like that, huh?"
"Wait, Taeyeon, please let go. I'm going home!"
Tiffany's protests were heard by deaf ears because Taeyeon pulled her inside her apartment and slammed her body on the door. Just like every time they have an argument.
"What part of telling you not to go near Donghae do you not understand?!" Taeyeon yelled.
"Like I said!" Tiffany yelled back "I met him by chance. He helped send off Shindong!"
Taeyeon stayed silent for a moment before lowering her head to look at the ground, "From me...he can steal anything else away," She said in a low voice.
"Ha? What are you saying?" Tiffany tiled her head to the side attempting to look at Taeyeon's face.
"I won't let him take you away. If that guy happens to hurt you, I won't forgive him." Taeyeon sounded almost desperate when she rested her forehead on Tiffany's shoulder, "So...I'm begging...don't go near that guy...for me."
Tiffany took a deep breath to calm her heart down and rested her eyesight on the side of Taeyeon's neck that made her gulp, "Wh-...What is this about?" She finally peeled her eyes off Taeyeon's neck and settled with looking up at the ceiling, "Taeyeon, you're very cautious of Donghae, but...I'm a grown up adult, I'm really fine." She almost gasped when she felt Taeyeon let out a warm breath on her neck, "By the way...um...can I ask you one thing?"
Taeyeon finally leaned back and let go of Tiffany's wrists that she was pinning. She looked at Tiffany who was the one looking down now, waiting for her to ask what she wants to know.
"If- If it's not true, I'm really sorry, but...if not, Taeyeon...stole...Donghae's lover. Is- Is this true?"
"Did Donghae say that?" Taeyeon took a step back and seemed back to normal again.
"Eh? Ah yes..." Tiffany looked up at Taeyeon.
Taeyeon sighed and turned around whilst taking off her shoes, "No, I guess that's not something you would come up with. I'm sorry. Come in."
"What?" Tiffany sounded confused.
"I will explain."
Tiffany gulped and followed Taeyeon inside the apartment after she too took off her shoes. Minutes later, they were sitting across from each other with two warm cups of coffee resting on the coffee table. Despite feeling nervous, Tiffany took a sip of her coffee and inhaled a deep breath.
"Before...when I was at Weekly Earth, the guy Donghae was dating fell in love with me and some drama happened. Do you remember I said this?"
"Ah, yes." Tiffany nodded and watched Taeyeon cross her legs and take a sip of her own coffee with her eyes closed.
"There's more after that." Taeyeon opened her eyes and looked at the ground, "Even though I rejected him, It seems like the guy and Donghae broke up in the end. But soon after they broke up, the girl I was dating at that time told me I found someone else I like, let's break up."
She was dating...another girl?
"After that, I heard from another editor, it seems like Donghae seduced her just to steal her from me." Taeyeon's voice didn't seem to waver as she said that, "Well, even though I said we were dating, she confessed to me and I think it only lasted for 3 days. I didn't care either way." She shrugged and took another sip of her coffee, "It seems it wasn't enough for Donghae, so he started interfering with my work. After that, It's just as I said during that time. As expected, at that time, I-...I told Donghae to cut it out and stop interfering with my authors, but..." She chuckled and looked at empty space, "He said, what's wrong with taking revenge against someone who took something precious from me?"
"That's why you don't like..." Tiffany gasped.
"So...after that, like I said, I couldn't do my job properly, so I resigned."
"I see..."
Taeyeon sighed and placed her empty cup on the coffee table, "I have told you this much, so...do you understand the reason why I didn't want you to get near that guy?"
I understand, but...
Tiffany chuckled awkwardly and looked down at the carpet, "So Taeyeon had a girlfriend."
"You..." Taeyeon raised her eyebrows, of all things, Tiffany decided to think about that, "Did you even listen to my story?" Taeyeon asked grumpily, taking a seat next to Tiffany.
"I- I was listening!" Tiffany also looked at Taeyeon in a grumpy manner and scooted away.
"And? That's what's bothering you?"
"No..not really. I don't care about it." Tiffany looked away from Taeyeon, feeling flustered, "It's just...that's...umm..."
Taeyeon sighed and also looked away, her expression changing to an endearing one when her lower lip jutted out a little, "She asked me out in front of a lot of people in the company while crying. I told her I just wanted to focus on my job and wouldn't be able to treat her right, but she said she was okay with that. It was troublesome, so I just said okay to get her to settle down in that situation. She told me; let's break up soon after that anyway. I didn't even touch a hair on her head." Taeyeon explained stressfully trying her best to make the point clear, "Are you satisfied now?"
"No, I told you I don't really care..."
Taeyeon sighed, "But, also...during that time, I was completely absorbed in my work, I didn't really have time for love. But, I wonder why. That's why I thought It would be good If I tried to start dating someone. It was impossible." She leaned back and looked up the ceiling, "No matter what I did, I would remember you." A sad chuckle escaped Taeyeon's lips, "It's true, I was really stubborn. I really couldn't forget you at all. If I had forgotten about you, things would probably be different." Taeyeon's mouth fell slightly open when she finally glanced at Tiffany and saw the look of complete attraction on Tiffany's face, directed at her. So she leaned her back on Tiffany's shoulder, "I wonder. Why did you go eat willingly with that Shindong guy but not me?"
"We were talking about something important," Tiffany said in frustration.
"About what?"
Silence ensued and at this point, Taeyeon had slid enough so her head is resting on Tiffany's lap. And surprisingly. Tiffany didn't snap at her.
"...Nothing."
"Was it stuff about work?"
"It's-...It's like I said before! What to do specifically to be lovey-dovey. I was asking advice about it..." Once Tiffany looked down she was immediately pulled down into a kiss that she didn't see coming.
When Taeyeon let go of the back of her neck, Tiffany didn't move from that position close to Taeyeon's face and just glared, although her red cheeks were betraying her.
"Why are you asking someone else? I told you I would teach you, didn't I? Idiot." Taeyeon smiled softly at Tiffany before putting her hand back on the back of Tiffany's neck and pulling her down for one more kiss, "Open your mouth."
Tiffany didn't know why but she found herself doing what Taeyeon ordered her and opened her mouth. Feeling the kiss deepen, Taeyeon sat up, breaking the kiss for a second before holding Tiffany's face between her hands and kissing her softly on the lips. Whenever Taeyeon is gentle with her like this. Tiffany unconsciously gets more and more into what they're doing despite her mind telling her to push Taeyeon away.
Tiffany looked up at Taeyeon who smiled at her softly and hugged her. She couldn't help it but take a deep breath when she found herself resting on the crook of Taeyeon's neck and wrapped her left arm around Taeyeon's waist. Cuddling. She never thought she would be doing that with Taeyeon. Her heart pounded rapidly in her ears when Taeyeon placed a soft kiss on her hair.
"Don't be involved with Donghae." Taeyeon requested softly.
"I understand..." Tiffany couldn't help it but agree when Taeyeon held her hand and interlocked their fingers together.
"If you spot him, run away. It's possible that he realized you're my weakness."
"What?" Tiffany looked up but Taeyeon smiled at her and hugged her to her neck again, her hand was not leaving Tiffany's head and stroked her hair instead.
Tiffany was sure. Out of all the things she has done with Taeyeon so far, this is the most intimate moment she had ever felt.
"I don't plan on having that guy steal you, Tiffany." Taeyeon said near Tiffany's ear and placed a soft kiss there too, "Your answer?" Taeyeon's hand rested on the side of Tiffany's neck and she stared at her eyes deeply, full of affection.
Tiffany couldn't answer, she was so lost in Taeyeon's eyes that she unconsciously leaned in and when she realized what she had done, she panicked a little, she just kissed Taeyeon on the cheek.
Taeyeon was surprised at first but chuckled when she saw Tiffany panicking, "I will consider that as a yes." Taeyeon placed a soft peck on Tiffany's lips and rested their foreheads together, simply enjoying the closeness, "Ah~ I don't want to give you up to anyone else. It can be only you. Really. Fany-ah.." Taeyeon didn't even need to say anything, simply the look on her face says it all.
So in love.
What's should I do?
Like that...when she looks at me like that...so gentle.
If she touches me like she's so in love with me, I will...I-...
Letting her walls down, Tiffany put her hand on the side of Taeyeon's cute face and surprised her with another kiss but this time on the mouth, taking Taeyeon by surprise.
In the end, it's like this!
How did this become a discussion about love?!
Furthermore, this girl fell asleep!
Tiffany was so mad at herself for being swept away with the mood like that. She ended up being the one initiating what they just did on Taeyeon's couch.
Now she's washing her hands in Taeyeon's sink, throwing glances at Taeyeon's sleeping figure on the couch. Sighing, Tiffany walked over to Taeyeon, feeling sorry for her for being so tired that she fell asleep which was unusual for her after they do the deed. It's usually Tiffany who falls asleep first. Well...other than that time in the shower.
Tiffany just had to gulp when she saw how disheveled Taeyeon's clothes were which is her doing. Her shirt had only three buttons closed in the middle while the top and the bottom one's were open not to mention that it was extremely wrinkly and her pants were unbuttoned and zipped open, slightly lowered showing her underwear.
This was not something Tiffany could look at and ignore, although it was all her doing. Shaking the thoughts of what they just did away, she walked over to the couch and shook Taeyeon gently.
"Taeyeon, please wake up. You will catch a cold. People should at least sleep in bed."
There was no movement from Taeyeon whatsoever, her chest raised and fell slowly in an even rhythm.
She's really fast asleep. Is it fine to leave her like this...?
Not willing to leave Taeyeon sleeping like that, Tiffany went inside Taeyeon's bedroom and pulled the blanket off Taeyeon's bed then walked back to the living room after to place it on Taeyeon's small figure.
Looking at Taeyeon's endearing sleeping face made Tiffany blush and curse herself for doing so.
Lovey-dovey, huh?
It's difficult...
"That's right. About the love scene, I think there is not enough love here, can we add a little bit more?" Tiffany said to one of her authors who's on the other side of the phone.
"Um, I'm sorry. I wanted to add the max amount, but how should I go about adding more?"
"Haha, it's hard, right?" Tiffany laughed awkwardly, "Umm, for example, holding hands?"
"I see."
"Then laying on her lap and kissing her gently like that, hugging her while holding her hands and interlocking their fingers together, caressing her face and kissing her, hugging again and end up cuddling, kissing her head and caressing her hair all the while being gentle, kissing her on the lips again and resting their foreheads together..." Tiffany said all that with a pleased smile on her face that turned to a grimace the moment she realized what she was saying.
Wait a minute, this is...
She was basically recalling the moment she had with Taeyeon last night.
"Heh. Just where did you hear that from?"
Looking up in shock, Tiffany found that Taeyeon was smirking at her from her desk.
"Please don't eavesdrop on me!" Tiffany hissed.
"I wasn't eavesdropping, I just overheard it," Taeyeon replied stoically.
"Stop splitting hairs!"
"Well, it looks like you have learned about being lovey-dovey."
"Haa?!" Tiffany cursed her stupid heart when it started beating faster and louder upon seeing Taeyeon smiling at her gently like last night.
"U- Um, Tiffany-ssi ?" Her author on the other side of the phone tried to get her attention nervously.
"Ah, I'm sorry...hahaha, no no, then please take care of that...yes thank you...please take care."
The moment Tiffany put the receiver back to its place, she looked up with a glare at Taeyeon who was leaning on her palm and smirking at her.
"I hate you!"
"That's okay." Taeyeon smiled, "A good fight doesn't bother me."
Annoying!
Annoying!
Annoying!
I shouldn't have asked you for help!
Days until Tiffany falls (Completely) in love: 80
