Beach, Jeju Island
"I love you. I want to marry you. To be with you forever." Tiffany said sincerely and lovingly.
Taeyeon smiled at her. She gathered every ounce of courage that she has. But really, there was no need of thinking about the next thing that she did. Because for Taeyeon, it was the most natural thing to do at the moment.
Taeyeon leaned in and kissed Tiffany's lips.
Time stood still for Tiffany. The kiss Taeyeon gave her was the best kiss she's ever had. It was a sweet, slow, and short kiss. But Tiffany felt everything that she wanted to hear from Taeyeon. Love.
Taeyeon pulled back from the kiss and stared right back at the calm sea.
"TaeTae... I love you..." Tiffany whispered as she rested her head on Taeyeon's shoulder.
"Mnnn." Taeyeon mumbled.
"Love? Is this really what love is? I can't believe I kissed her... It feels so right... Is this really what love is?" Taeyeon asked herself.
Yawn.
"Hey... You must be sleepy. Come on." Taeyeon noticed the yawning Tiffany who was snuggling close on her shoulder. She signalled Hyoyeon to come over to her.
"Yes Boss?" Hyoyeon asked.
"Tiffany is sleepy. Prepare the sleeping arrangement." Taeyeon ordered.
"It's already settled Boss. Both of you will be sharing the small tent together. If you need anything, like wine, scented candles, soundproofing system-anyway, if you need anything just call us." Hyoyeon grinned naughtily.
"What? Okay whatever. But please transfer us to a hotel tomorrow morning." Taeyeon said as she slowly nudged on Tiffany to get up from their position.
"Aren't you gonna sleep too? I was hoping we could fall asleep together." Tiffany shyly asked as the two walked hand in hand towards their tent.
"Uhm. You go ahead okay. I need to talk to my team." Taeyeon said as she opened the tent's zipper entrance.
"Uhhm. Okay. I see." Tiffany frowned sadly as she walked inside the tent.
"Ahhh. You really are irressistable." Taeyeon could feel her heart melt at the sight of a frowning Tiffany.
"But I can talk to them later after I tuck you in to sleep." Taeyeon smiled as she too entered the tent with Tiffany.
Taeny Tent, Beach
The two of them momentarily paused their conversation upon seeing what was inside the tent. Flowers, a framed photo of them kissing (obviously photoshopped), heart shaped pillows, blue and pink blanket with hearts designs and a portable lamp hung on the ceiling of the tent. The two sat down and admired their tent.
"Wow. This is so cute!" Tiffany beamed as she hugged her heart shaped pillow.
"My dookongs are cuter than those." Taeyeon sulked.
"Well, these pillows are cuter. You're cute too, you and your love of dookongs. But they're just plushies you know." Tiffany smiled.
"No! They're not just plushies. Dookong is more than just a plushy!" Taeyeon fumed which surprised Tiffany.
"Okay okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." Tiffany was a bit scared by Taeyeon's sudden behaviour.
"Oh I'm sorry Fany. Sorry... It's just that... I'm sorry." Taeyeon snapped out of her anger and immediately felt guilty at lashing out on Tiffany. Taeyeon felt bad when she saw Tiffany's surprised look which was followed by a look of fear. Taeyeon felt scared again.
"Tiffany might leave me again... I must do something." Taeyeon thought.
"I-its okay. I-" Tiffany bowed her head not knowing what to do when she felt Taeyeon's warm body against her.
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Please don't leave me." Taeyeon said softly as she hugged Tiffany tightly. Tears began to fall down her eyes.
"Aaaw. You're such a kid. Stop crying Baby. I won't be leaving you. Never. I understand you okay. You just scared me a bit. I love what you love. If you love dookong, then I love it too because I love you okay?" Tiffany said as she broke free from the hug to look at Taeyeon's face.
Taeyeon was her big baby, with all her childish acts yet childish cuteness that just melts Tiffany's anger and fear away. She was surprised to see tears on the girl's eyes.
"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry again." Taeyeon nodded her head obediently as Tiffany wiped away her tears.
Yawn.
"You should rest now." Taeyeon said as she gently pushed Tiffany to lie down on the sleeping bed.
"Sing me to sleep?" Tiffany asked as she lay down on the pillow.
"I don't sing, but... I can hug you to sleep." Taeyeon shyly said as she lay down beside Tiffany.
Their bodies are now facing each other. Taeyeon placed her hand on Tiffany's waist. The two looked at each other intensely.
"I love you Taeyeon." Tiffany whispered.
"I'll be here beside you when you wake up..." Taeyeon stroked Tiffany's hair.
"I love you... I know you that you love me too. I can feel it. But when will I hear it?" Tiffany wondered while staring into the depths of Taeyeon's eyes.
"I've never thought I can find happiness in you... Happiness just by being with you... Thank you." Taeyeon silently thanked Tiffany.
"Close your eyes now. Sleep." Taeyeon softly ordered to Tiffany.
"Not until I get my good night kiss." Tiffany smiled, showing her eye smile.
"Not until you close your eyes." Taeyeon smiled back.
"Hmmmphh." Tiffany pouted but closed her eyes anyway. She was feeling tired after a long day. All she wanted to do was sleep and rest.
Peck. Peck. Peck. Peck. Peck. Peck.
A wide grin spread across Tiffany's face as soon as she felt Taeyeon's lips on her eyes, her nose, her cheeks and lastly, on her lips. In no time, she drifted off to sleep with Taeyeon contentedly watching her.
Bonfire Circle, Beach
7 girls gathered around the bonfire sitting in their reclining chairs. Jessica would occasionally throw in huge chunks of logs salvaged by Yoona from who knows where. Secretary Choi was still sulking while the rest was on a good mood and exchanging fish jokes.
"Okay. Okay. My turn! What is the most valuable fish?" Hyoyeon asked.
"Secretary Choi." Sunny answered.
"No! It's a gold fish!" Yuri answered.
"Okay good. Another one. What kind of fish goes well with peanut butter?" Hyoyeon asked the girls again.
"Uhh. A Secretary Choi?" Sunny answered again.
"Wrong. A jellyfish!" Jessica beamed.
"Okay. What kind of fish goes to heaven when they die? And Sunny, don't you dare answer again with 'Secretary Choi'. We all know she's not a fish." Hyoyeon said irritably.
"It's an Angel fish!" Seohyun answered before Sunny could open her mouth.
"But look at her, she really looks like a fish!" Sunny exclaimed and pointed at the Secretary Choi who was busy munching on a roasted chicken. Her hair was a mess, with remnants of seaweeds and small shells sticking out. Sand was all over her legs and face. A tiny crab slowly crept out of her pocket as Secretary Choi casually flicked it with her fingers.
"I'm gonna pretend that I did not hear a dwarf talk. I'll carry on eating my food. Nom Nom Nom. Bleeehhh" Secretary Choi mumbled out as she sputtered out her food while sticking out her tongue to Sunny who glared at her.
"Fish Choi." Sunny teased.
"Sunny the dwarfie." Secretary Choi shot back.
Just then, Taeyeon went out from her tent and walked over towards them. Everyone stopped what they're doing and looked at Taeyeon who looked bothered.
"Yuri, Sunny, Hyo? I need to talk to you. Alone." Taeyeon said as she eyed her team.
"Ohh. Okay, sure Boss. Why don't we go somewhere else." Hyoyeon said as she and the other two stood up from their seats. The 4 of them walked away from the campsite leaving Secretary Choi, Yoona, Jessica and Seohyun to themselves.
"I wonder what they're going to talk about." Jessica thought aloud.
"I hope nothing as crazy as cancelling the wedding again! Oh. This reminds me that I have to call in another wedding planner." Secretary Choi spoke as she went over to the tent to get her phone.
"Secretary Choi, may I suggest someone? My sister knows someone who owns a wedding planning agency." Jessica volunteered.
"Okay. Call her then. They should be here tomorrow morning." Secretary Choi said.
"Okay then." Jessica took out her phone as she dialled her sister's number.
