Villa Suite, Lotte Hotel

The smoke has finally cleared up. From the living room area of the suite, chatters and murmurs could be heard. Giggles soon filled the air.

"So, that's what happened to your Boss. No wonder she's such a ticking time bomb. Exploding every now and then." Jessica reflected.

"Yeah. I'm sure both of them are pretty hungry and tired by now. After what happened earlier..." Yuri stated while Hyoyeon nodded in agreement.

Click.

The door opened as Yoona, Seohyun and Sunny walked in while pushing a food cart.

"You really like food carts, don't you?" Hyoyeon said, remembering how they shoved their boss inside a food cart once.

"This time it has real food." Yoona smiled as she opened the silver food cover which revealed a plate of grilled eel, sushi, crispy vegetable pancake, clam soup, and a shrimp bisque.

"Wow! Hurry, close the cover. Don't let the smell of food get out." Yuri hurriedly closed the food cover on the food.

"Huh? Why so?" Yoona asked confusedly.

"Shhh. Secretary Choi might wake up." Hyoyeon answered while taking a glance at the still sleeping and still watermelon-covered Secretary Choi.

"Okay. So, here's the plan. We will deliver this to the Taeny room. They'll have a good dinner and then they'll talk it out and then who knows they could get to know each other better." Sunny informed the girls.

"Okay. Let's do it." Jessica answered as she shoved Yuri to push the food cart.

Since Sunny, Yoona and Seohyun got the food and food cart from the kitchen, Jessica and Yuri are assigned to bring the food, while Hyoyeon keeps an eye on Secretary Choi.

Hallway Outside the Royal Suite

"Okay. This is it. Just knock on the door, leave the food cart and then run." Yuri rehashed the plan details.

Jessica knocked twice.

She and Yuri scrambled and run. Only Jessica went to the right side of the hallway while Yuri ran to the left.

"Hey! This way you idiot!" Jessica hissed at Yuri.

"Oh. I forgot." Yuri ran back towards the right side before Tiffany could open the door.

Royal Suite

Knock. Knock.

Tiffany busied herself caressing Taeyeon's wounded knuckles when she heard the knock.

She went over to the door only to find a food cart with foods on it.

"Must be room service." Tiffany mumbled as she brought it inside.

"Tae, you must be hungry. Let's eat these over there." Tiffany went towards Taeyeon as she helped Taeyeon who was just spacing out. She led Taeyeon towards the dining table in their room.

The two of them sat together on the dining table silently. Tiffany wanted to be careful with Taeyeon this time. Taeyeon on the other hand was still trying to sort out her mind and struggled to understand things. She felt better after she was given her medication.

Tiffany took care of Taeyeon, feeding her like a baby. Taeyeon could not help but appreciate Tiffany's effort.

"I poured 5 tablespoons of this in every meal that they're having right now." Seohyun suddenly blurted out when the 6 of them have already gathered together inside their room.

"What the heck is that?" Sunny asked as Seohyun raised red bottle that could pass as a cough syrup bottle except that it has a skull and intertwined bones as its logo.

"The strongest aphrodisiac in the world." Seohyun calmly answered.

"What?!" Sunny exclaimed.

"Where did you get that?!" Yoona could not believe her ears.

"How could you?" Jessica asked.

"Why did you do that?!" Hyoyeon prodded.

"You're such a genious!" Yuri giggled, earning her a suspicious glare from the 4 astonished girls.

Seohyun was suddenly bombarded by questions so she decided to answer them altogether.

"First, the Great Spirit has really inspired me to think outside the box, hence the smoke ritual. So I thought, what the heck? There are black markets around the world, I have the internet. Then I asked myself, what are they there for when you can't buy something there? It's all about purpose. So I bought one. Miss Tiffany and Chairman Taeyeon needed it. It will make things easier for us." Seohyun explained as she tucked her red bottle securely on her pocket.

"Here I am thinking that they could be having a good dinner and sweet talks while you-" Sunny started out.

"-they'll be making love with the guidance of the Great Spirit." Seohyun solemnly interjected.

"What?!" Hyoyeon's eyes widened.

"Oh Maknae. You could've waited for them to get married. Tss. Tss. Tss." Yoona shook her head disappointedly.

"Oh. Too late. Hehehe." Seohyun winked as she took out one watermelon from Secretary Choi's face and munched it.

"Eeeewwww." Everyone looked at Seohyun disapprovingly.

Royal Suite

The foods that Tiffany and Taeyeon ate are now almost finished. Tiffany let out a soft burp that earned a chuckle from Taeyeon.

"Hey... It's normal to burp." Tiffany said as she felt beads of sweat form in her forehead.

"I know." Taeyeon smiled. Unconsciously, she's already been smiling a lot lately whenever she's with Tiffany.

"It's really getting hot here isn't it?" Tiffany was fanning herself furiously.

The hotel staff were already able to fix the messy bathroom earlier and she and Taeyeon were able to take their respective showers and change into comfortable pajamas.

"Uhm. Yeah. The airconditioner's maxed out." Taeyeon answered as she stood up and went towards the window.

"Tae..." Tiffany went beside Taeyeon and leaned on the window pane.

"Yeah?" Taeyeon answered. She and Tiffany were standing just a few feet apart.

"I want to be friends with you again... I want us to start over again. I mean, since you probably don't remember our friendship when we were kids except for that part where I gave you the peanut butter sandwich... I mean, why don't we be friends again? We can start from there..." Tiffany gently spoke hoping to convince Taeyeon.

"Friends... Yes. Taeyeon, let's be friends... Please say yes... Please... Wait... She looks so sexy even if she's just wearing a loose shirt... Her face... It sure does glow... Ohh those lips..." Tiffany thought absent-mindedly.

"Okay. Friends." Taeyeon extended her hands but Tiffany was spaced out, more like drooling over Taeyeon's lips.

"Errmmm." Taeyeon was starting to feel awkward noticing how Tiffany just stares blankly at her lips. Tiffany snapped out of her thoughts and took Taeyeon's extended hand.

"I guess it's better to be friends with her. It's been so long since I wanted to let go of the memory of that stupid sandwich... Hmn... Her hands... They're really soft... Soft... And warm... Very warm..." Taeyeon absent-mindedly squeezed Tiffany's hand.

Tiffany was feeling really weird. Extra weird. Like she just want to jump over Taeyeon and kiss her and ravage her.

"Ugh!" Tiffany broke their eye and hand contact and walked over towards the bathroom and washed herself.

"Control yourself Tiffany Hwang. Don't take advantage of Taeyeon... Oh god I want her so bad.. No, I can't... Patience... Don't-"

"Tiffany? A-are you okay?" Taeyeon asked looking at Tiffany who was furiously splashing water on her face and neck.

"Huh?!" Tiffany jumped in surprise.

"No, I'm okay Taeyeon. I'm fine..." Tiffany bowed her head and walked past Taeyeon. She was scared she'd lost it all if she'll look at Taeyeon... and her glorious body... those pink lips...

"Aaarrrghhhhh!" Tiffany sighed in frustration as she ran in circles around the living room.

Taeyeon looked at Tiffany who was now jumping up and down.

"Weird. Just like Uncle Hwang. Weird. But she's a sexy weirdo... a sexy one with her sweat falling down her forehead... down to her neck... down to her..." Taeyeon's eyes widened. She was surprised at her own thoughts.

"Aaarrrghhhhh!" Taeyeon sighed in desperation as she joined Tiffany who was jumping up and down.

The two of them looked at each other and stopped jumping.

Both are now panting heavily. Both are feeling the heat.

Taeyeon moved a step forward towards Tiffany.

Tiffany took a step backward.

Taeyeon took a step forward.

Tiffany moved a step backward again.

Taeyeon moved 2 steps forward and closed the gap between them.

Their faces are now inches away as they could feel each other's ragged breathing, both could even hear their heartbeats racing.

Taeyeon held Tiffany's shoulder.

Tiffany placed her hands over Taeyeon's hands.

"Kim Taeyeon..." Tiffany's voice was husky.

"Yes?" Taeyeon muttered under her breath anticipating Tiffany's next move.

"..."

"..."

"Let's play tag." Tiffany blurted out as she ran away from Taeyeon.

"Damn! Stupid Tiffany!" Tiffany ran away from Taeyeon and knocked her own head with her hand.
