The competition went well for the three of them, as predicted Yuri won the dance competition while Taeyeon and Tiffany are still on the process of collecting and producing their artwork. Taeyeon on the other hand find the best spot in the flower field and began to paint as soon as she arrived. They use acrylic paint to make the result being produce faster since acrylic is a waterbased color, it dries easily. As her eyes are now doing their job in capturing every single details she could found on the field, she suddeny remember the first time she ever saw Tiffany again in this flower field.
Unconsciously, she smiles when the bickering scene appear in her memory, the time when she play the violin for the first time again after so long and how she made up with Tiffany are all coming back into her head right now. Her hand stops from moving as she suddenly remember her past, her childhood. She squint her eyes and a blurry image pops in her mind
"APPA! Why are you yelling at Miyoung?!"
Taeyeon shakes her head but the image still popping in her head making her dizzy. She stops from painting for a while and breathe in and out to calm herself down, she picks up the paint brush and position the color palate on her left hand once again she, slightly dipped the tip of the brush on the color and brings it to the canvas but stops mid-air
"I like Miyoung, more than I like you appa! You're mean! I hate you!"
Again, she squint her eyes closely to shake the thoughts off "Why now? Appa...is not mean. So, I have to stay focus. Focus Taeyeon" she sighs out loud and continues to paint none-stops until the final result shows up. 4 hours pass just like that and the sun is heating up as well "Wow… looking great Taeyeon" The girl smiles in satisfy for her final artwork feeling proud "Yeah, I don't know I can come out with this result so fast. Thank god it's only 2x3 painting, if not… I don't know when this is going to finish-" She stops talking and turns around only to find her tall lecturer with a wide smile on her face "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Taeyeon let out a short breath and eyeing her "When did you get here?" Sooyoung shrug her shoulder "A while, you've been focusing on that too much that you did'nt notice my presence Taeyeon" The girl turns around and reach out to feel the painting to see if it's dry enough to be presented later on "Hey, it's almost time for the assesment, you need to go there now"
"I know, you go on ahead. I'll be there" Sooyoung nodded and was about to walk when she suddenly stops "Make sure you be there" Taeyeon look at her and was about to talk back but she's already far ahead "What's that supposed to mean, did she think i'm gonna run away or something? Unbeliveable" Done cleaning all her stuff, she heads back to the main booth to prepare her painting for assesment. She opens back her easel (wooden tripod) and place her painting on it. She took a few steps back and observe it for the last time to check for error "Angel's check, color's check, technique check, balance, harmony, lines and texture check, and lastly, porpotion...check" A smile escape from her lips when she's now sure that nothing is wrong with her painting, all she has to do now is wait and let the judges judge her painting and accept for any criticism from them
"Hey look, you made it back! Great!" Taeyeon give a sharp look at her lecturer and cross her arms "Of course i'm back, why in the world would you think i won't be back?" The cheerfull look on Sooyoung's face gone as she suddenly turns serious "I don't know what's going to happen from this point Taeyeon, please stay in sight" Taeyeon eyebrows knitted together as she feels that the girl is being weird right now "Do you realize you're being weird now?" "Did i? hahaha, well hey, tell you what. I think you're gonna win this for sure!" "How sure are you?" Sooyoung smirks makes Taeyeon back away a little and bewirld with her answer "I'm pretty sure i'm sure Taeyeon, now wait here till the judging start. i'm going to get miyoung for you" "Wait what- Yah! don't call her that way! you are so one of a kind Ms Choi...really...what's wrong with that women"
A sudden vibration came from her pocket makes her jumps in surprise, she took out her phone and saw there's a message from an unknown number
Sooyoung waves her hand in the air to capture Tiffany's attention in the big crowd, she runs towards her then greet Sooyoung with a breathy voice "You sounds tired, did you ran from where you came from?" Tiffany just nods her head instead of answering back "I see, you don't have too you know because the judgement is over a while ago" The girl's eyes widen "What?! I-it's over? B-but i thought i made it in time, i even ran here, how was it? did Taeyeon won? did she get's a bad criticsm? did she-" "Tiffany, please calm down... i don't know either, i was looking for you and missed the event too. They will announce the winner soon" Tiffany looks down and lets out a heavy sighs "I see. Okay... so where is she? i can't reach her, i think her phone is off or something" Sooyoung giggle at the concern Tiffany and pat her shoulder "Let's go find her, i think she's now with the other contestant" when the both of them tries to enter the waiting area, the security didn't let them in since the winner will be announce soon. In the end the both of them just stand in the corner along with the others waiting patiencely
"Ms Choi! Senior Hwang! There you are... ahh i've been looking everywhere for you, is it starting?" Yuri joins the both of them waiting for the announcement. "Hey Yuri, congratulation on your win, i heard you rock the stage... chukae!" Yuri turns shy at the compliments given by her senior and looks down "T-thank you.. i hope you win your category as well Senior Hwang" Tiffany smiles and looks back towards the stage "I hope so... i don't think i capture enough scene..well anyway, i'm hoping Taeyeon is going to win this" and again, Yuri thought's got distracted yet again when Tiffany calls Taeyeon by her first name "Ah look! It's starting" the mc begins the event and starts to announce the winner of the painting category. 5th...4th...3rd and 2nd winner were announce and given their price, all of them are from different unniversity and region, finally when the winner is announce, just as expected Taeyeon won the competition. The three of them were over joy by it but it's soon fade away when the winner didn't show up on stage
"What's going on here...why Taeyeon didn't show up ms Choi?" Ask Tiffany, Sooyoung eyes are now wildly searching in the crowd the area to see if Taeyeon's were around but found nothing "I...don't know too Tiffany, this is strange. Try to call her again" Tiffany steps out from the crowded area and try to call Taeyeon, while she's doing that the Mc ask for a representative from their University to came up on stage to recieve the prize on the winner behalf's, the head judge gives out his compliments and thoughts on the painting and it makes Sooyoung feels proud of it. The crowd love cheers upon the moment Taeyeon's painting being brought up on the stage to show the winning artwork. When it's done, Sooyoung return back and saw the looks on Tiffany's face "What happen? did you reach her?" the girl shakes her head "I did reach her, but there's no one picking it up" Yuri tries to call her too and the same result happen to her "Well, where ever she is now, i don't think she's far. Why don't you two wait in the entrance hall and i'll go look for her" "Wait! i'll come with you" Sooyoung glare at Tiffany so sudden that it made her back off in reflect "No, stay here. Both of you" Sooyoung left them both running towards the parking lot "Erm... Senior Hwang... let's go back to the main-" "No Yuri, i'm not going to stand here and do nothing. i sense something is wrong and i don't like it"
When Tiffany tries to walk away from Yuri, she grabs her wrist to stop her "W-wait! you can't, ms Choi said-" Tiffany looks back at her with a sharp glare "I don't give a damn about what she said, i can't just stand here and do nothing. Now let me go" Feeling intimidated, Yuri let go of her wrist "Why...are you so concern about Taeyeon? I...i'm her best friend, even i'm not that worried about her" Tiffany stays silent for a while and looks away "Because i'm her wife" Yuri's jaw drop at Tiffany's reply, her eyes widen and now she's left speechless "Wait here incase Ms Choi return, i gotta go"
"Shit shit shit! no...no this can't be it. It's not happening..."
Sooyoung keeps trying to call Taeyeon's phone but none being answered and went straight to the answering machine. She makes a sharp turn on the corner using the car that she get from Jessica and drive straight again "PICK UP THE PHONE DAMN IT!" she tries her best to think where the girl might be in this place and a sudden thought makes her stops her car "Of course!" she reverse the car again and drives back to the old street that she herself has almost forgotten about it and went up the hills "If i'm not wrong...if my judgement is right...she- no..they must be there" as soon as she arrive, she could see the freshly vehicle mark are left on the ground and stops the car
She throws away her phone and gets out from the car then quickly went searching around the area calling out Taeyeon's name "YAH! KIM TAEYEON! ARE YOU HERE! ANSWER ME!" her forehead is sweaty, her legs are tired. She could feel her entire body is now draining from the heat and running. It's about 15 minutes past now yet, she still hasn't found anything and she's positive that Taeyeon is here "Why is this fregging place is so fregging big! ahh *pants* this isn't good... Yahh! Kim Taeyeon! Please! Answer me!"
Sooyoung keeps on running until she reach the clift and were stops for a moment when she see something on the ground "Is that-" she run towards the thing she saw and found out that it's a gun "Fuck" she search around the clift and stops. The moment her eyes capture what's below the clift, her eyes begins to letting out warm liquid running down her cheek. Her heart feels like stopping. And her legs has given up on her
She kneels down and her breath is uneven, her hands form into a fist as she keeps her eyes looking down the clift. Down the small stream, she saw a body that she doesn't want to believe who does it belongs to...
It's been 2 hours since Sooyoung left Tiffany and Yuri with no news. Tiffany has gone back to where Yuri's at and decide to join her since it's now raining heavily. The changes in weather is somehow reflects on things that happening right now, from the bright and breezy sky turns to the angry and frightenning sky. The storms that's happening outside didn't stop Tiffany from worrying about the missing Taeyeon, she keeps on pacing back and forth concern of about Taeyeon's condition "Yuri, has Ms Choi call?" Yuri shakes her head and Tiffany continue doing what she does. At that time, Yuri keeps on thinking about what Tiffany said to her earlier 'Now i know that they have something, i can see why Taeyeon keeps on talking about Senior Hwang this and that... but it's not a shock either, i can sense something's happening between them both. Taeyeon... where are you...'
The entrance door suddenly opens and lightning strikes makes them shut their eyes for a moment at the frigthening sound. When they saw who it was, Tiffany is the first to ran towards her and search for Taeyeon followed by Yuri. Tiffany looks back at the tall women who's drench wet, she can't hide her disappointment and fear shows up now and grips the tall girl arms "Why are you here? Where is Taeyeon? Why are you not with her!? Please tell me that she's alright...please..." Sooyoung looks down and shakes her head making Tiffany let go of her grips and stands back
"I'm sorry...i'm really sorry..." Yuri who's standing still at the side begins to get worried "Why are you saying sorry Miss? What happen to Taeyeon!? Tell us" "She's gone... Taeyeon... is gone" Tiffany shakes her head and close her ear with both hands "You're lying...tell me you're lying!" Sooyoung looks at the terrified looking girl and it hurt her heart when she saw how broken she look, as much as she loves Taeyeon, she knew Tiffany loves her more "Tiffany, i am not lying, please...respect her. T-the ambulance is on their way to the hospital now" Tiffany lift her head and her eyes begins to shut down when her tears trying to get out "A-ambulance? w-what are you saying..you said she's gone...she's just missing right? she's" Sooyoung try her best to look as convincing as she could and decide to go with it. She know, things will never be the same after this...
Everything is going to change. Everything is going to end. For now and for good
