"T-t-taeyeon?" Tiffany whispered.
"T-tiffany?" Taeyeon mimicked Tiffany.
…
Over by the cafeteria, Bora and Tae Young sat at the tables waiting patiently as Bora asked Tae Young, "What is taking Tiffany such a long time?"
…
"W-what are you doing here?" Tiffany asked.
"Would you mind getting the hell off of me first?" Taeyeon replied.
Seeing their situation, Tiffany moved and got off of Taeyeon standing up. Taeyeon also got to her feet brushing herself off.
"What are you doing here?"
"Uh, this is a mall and I can go wherever I want to go. Why am I even answering you?" Taeyeon said and walked away.
Tiffany watched as she walked away and without thinking she rushed over and grabbed Taeyeon's arm.
"Ow." Taeyeon said flinching as she grabbed her arm.
"Are you okay?" Tiffany asked with worry. "I'm sorry."
"I'm fine. Now, leave me alone." Taeyeon said as she pushed Tiffany to the side without realizing her strength Tiffany stumbled back and fell to the ground.
People were looking at the two of them. It made Tiffany embarrassed as she looked around seeing people staring at her.
Tiffany got up to her feet, her cheeks rosy pink. She brushed herself off and looked at Taeyeon then back at the floor. "I'm sorry." she mumbled before quickly walking through the crowd.
Taeyeon took a step forward but stopped and sighed. "Damn it."
She clutched her arm and walked the opposite direction.
…
Tiffany made her way to the cafeteria with tears in her eyes.
"Mommy?" Tae Young said looking sad seeing her mommy sad.
"Are you okay?" Bora asked.
Tiffany walked straight over and hugged Bora.
Bora wrapped her arms around Tiffany and soothed her, "It's okay. She's here. She's safe. Why are you crying?"
Tiffany pulled back and saw Tae Young holding her arms out for a hug. Tiffany smiled and bent down to hug her.
"Sorry mommy. I wuv you."
"It's okay baby. I love you too." Tiffany replied and pulled back, "Let's go home."
Bora picked up Tae Young and they headed home.
…
At home, Taeyeon couldn't help but feel an aching in her heart as she recall pushing Tiffany away.
She looked up from her papers and looked at her bandaged wrist with a sigh.
"What is wrong with me? I shouldn't be feeling guilty or sorry. She's the one that left me…wait, what is she doing here? When did she even come back?...argh, why do I even care?" Taeyeon said to herself.
"Is your ass that far up your head?" Hyoyeon said appearing with a martini at hand.
"Huh?"
"It's head up the ass not the other way around." Sunny said appearing next to her sister.
"What do you two want?" Taeyeon said.
"When are you ever going to realize everything? My oh my, are that dumb?" Sunny asked.
"I don't understand what you guys are getting at. In fact, I don't have time for this. Please get the fuck out of here and let me be. I was doing just fine until you guys showed up."
"Actually, it's pretty bad and it was worse before. I can't tell which was better." Hyoyeon said.
"Are you going to tell her sorry?" Sunny asked.
"Sorry for what?" Taeyeon asked annoyed.
"Uh, you push the poor girl and embarrassed her duh. You like could have broke her you mean piece of poop sack." Hyoyeon pointed out. "She was just trying to make sure you were okay."
"Hey, it wasn't my fault okay? She fell on me and I told her to leave me alone."
"Yeah, that was after she fell on you and then asked if you were okay dip shit." Sunny added.
"What? Now all of a sudden you're on her side? That's just great." Taeyeon said.
"We are NOT on anyone's side. We're trying to help you out without actually helping you directly because that's against the rule of no interferring in human relations." Sunny said.
"You know for someone so smart you are so dumb." Hyoyeon stated.
"Well, whatever. It's too late now I could care less about her."
"Right, like stars don't shit. If you don't care then why are you sitting here bitching about it? Smells like pancakes to me." Hyoyeon said.
"Point is, go make things right." Sunny added.
"She left me in case you guys were so busy you missed it. I've had enough of broken hearts, okay." Taeyeon stopped eyes widen at the sudden slip of tongue.
"Wait, did you say broken heart? So you like…liked her, no, loved her during that time she was pregnant and you two were stuck in Australia and you had naughty dreams about you guys doing the dirty? (gasp) that's so nastily sweet of you." Hyoyeon recapped.
"Uh…I…well…It's-it's…" Taeyeon stuttered.
"Oh, can't take it back. It's been said." Hyoyeon said putting her hand up to stop Taeyeon. "You love the girl."
"Go talk to her then. Find out what happened." Sunny said. "That's all we can help you with."
"Actually, about those dreams maybe you could remind me of how it went because I kind of forgot so…" Hyoyeon started but Sunny grabbed her by the ear cutting her off and they disappeared.
Taeyeon put her face in her hands and shook her head. "ARGH."
…
Tiffany sat in bed with her back against the board and her knees in her chest. She looked out the window at the night sky.
"What's going on? Why is it that I barely know you and yet after 3 years, I still can't stop thinking about you? This is all messed up. I really want you to see how gorgeous and beautiful your daughter is but how can I when you're already married?" Tiffany said to herself as she burried her head into her knees.
FLASHBACK
"Oh, didn't you hear? We just got back together. She said she missed me and even asked me to marry her. Of course I said yes." Jisoo lied.
"What? No, she wouldn't do that. You're lying." Tiffany argued.
"If I was, would I be wearing an engagement ring?" she said flashing the ring. "Oh, and I didn't forget to take pictures." She said showing Tiffany the photo.
END FLASHBACK
Tiffany shook her head of the memory and mumbled to herself, "I was the one that got fooled."
She looked up and placed her head back on her knees. "Gosh, I wish you knew how much I've missed you...Taeyeon-ah."
…
Few days later...
Tiffany was at her store looking through clothes design and figuring out her next collection.
RING.
The door opened and closed. Tiffany made her way over to welcome the guest.
"Welcome, how may I help you?" Tiffany stopped in her step when she saw a group of men.
Someone walked passed them and up to Tiffany smiling at her, "Well, it's been a while hasn't it?"
"What are you doing here?" Tiffany asked. "What do you want?"
"I want you to stay away from Taeyeon. She's mine and if you don't, you'll be sorry. So don't say I didn't warn you." Jisoo said.
"Pft, why would I want anything to do with that ass of a jerk? Besides, you two are married so why would I get involved?"
"Really? I saw you two getting pretty cozy at the mall just the other day. Don't lie to my face bitch. I will ruin you and your little store here."
"What?" Tiffany asked confused.
"Oh yeah, do you think you could get away with it? I have eyes everywhere. I see every move that Taeyeon makes so don't cross me, you home wrecker."
"Don't think just because your father works at a huge company and you have money means that I'm scared of you. I'm also warning you, don't want to mess with me."
"Are you threatening me? Do you know who I am? Who my father is?" Jisoo said challenging Tiffany.
"Frankly I don't care. So for the last time, I want nothing more to do with her or you so if you have nothing more to say than get out of my store before I make you." Tiffany said through gritted teeth.
Jisoo huffed in anger and slapped Tiffany and had her men turn Tiffany's place upside down.
"This is my warning to you. Stay away from her or next time, I won't be so kind. That little girl of yours is quite cute, we wouldn't anything to happen to her now, would we?" Jisoo threatened.
Tiffany's chest rose in anger as her breathing increased, "You dare lay a hand on my daughter and I will make sure you never walk again, better yet, I'll make sure you won't ever breathe again."
Jisoo trembled in fear but straightened her clothes and told her men to leave. "Let's go." They exit Tiffany's store.
"Omo, what happened?" Seohyun said as she came out from the back having just returned from grabbing lunch.
Tiffany's hands were trembling.
Seohyun placed the food on the counter and rushed over to Tiffany's side, "Unnie, are you okay? What happened? Who did this? We should call your brother."
"No, it's okay. Just…I just…(sigh)…let's clean this up." Tiffany said with barely any strength left before walking over to pick up the mess.
Suddenly Seohyun's phone rang, "Oh, Yuri unnie."
…
"What?" Yuri said out loud. "Is she okay? Did they hurt her?"
Jessica and Taeyeon looked at Yuri eyebrows furrowed.
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can. Thanks Hyunnie." Yuri said and hung up.
"What happened?" Jessica asked.
"Someone went and trashed Tiffany's store. Hyunnie said her cheek was red like someone slapped her." Yuri explained.
"What? Who would do that?" Jessica asked.
"Is she okay?" Taeyeon asked surprising the couple.
They both turned and looked at her eyebrows raised.
"I thought you didn't care?" Jessica asked.
"Well is she or is she not?" Taeyeon asked sternly in patiently.
"Why do you care? It's none of your business." Yuri said.
"Argh, I hate you guys." Taeyeon said and rushed out the door.
Tiffany was picking up fallen racks and clothes when Taeyeon entered. She stopped and stood up when Taeyeon burst through the doors.
Seohyun stood over to the side and watched.
They stared at each other for a minute before Taeyeon slowly walked towards Tiffany stopping just a foot away.
"Are you okay?" Taeyeon asked.
Tears rolled down Tiffany's cheeks. She raised her hand to slap Taeyeon but as she swung her arm, she fell into Taeyeon, collapsing unconscious.
Taeyeon caught her before she hit the ground and looked at Tiffany with worry. "Tiffany? Tiffany, wake up."
