Taeyeon's Beach House, Jeju Island

Taeyeon stepped outside the bathroom and scanned her environment. It was a large bedroom. A bedroom that she has never been to. A bedroom that looked nothing like the one in the suite. A bedroom that she was not familiar with. It was spacious, with modern gray, white and powder blue design. It was chic and homely. Her eyes fell down to the clothes neatly laid out on the bed. She went over and got herself dressed.

Knock. Click.

"Tae? Are you done changing?" Tiffany slowly opened the door.

"Uhh. Yes. You can come in." Taeyeon answered hesitantly.

"You look great." Tiffany smiled at Taeyeon.

"Uhm, thanks. You prepared my clothes, so credit goes to you." Taeyeon shyly smiled back and straightened out herself. She was wearing a simple striped gray and white shirt and black pants.

"Thank you hubby." Tiffany grinned and walked over to Taeyeon and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"So, you're no longer mad at me? And why are you calling me hubby?" Taeyeon asked.

"Your teams really know you well. I'm sure you don't know where we are or remember what you did yesterday. Why don't you listen to this to refresh your memory." Tiffany chuckled as she handed Taeyeon her phone and played an audio recording.

Taeyeon listened intently to it. Halfway through the recording, flashbacks of what happened came back to her. Finally she recalled everything.

Flashback. Yesterday.

Taeyeon left the Villa Suite after recording her apology video. She headed back towards the room she shared with Tiffany while still gulping down the bottle of champagne.

Sigh.

"I should really apologize to Tiffany... She might leave me again... Or worst, she might go back to her first love... Nooo... I won't let that happen. I won't... I am Kim Taeyeon. Yes... But how am I supposed to apologize this time? Naaaw... I don't even know how... Wait... What did my wedding planners tell me... We skipped the part where we're supposed to get to know each other before deciding to get married... Hmmmn... Dating and courtship huh... Hehehe. I have an idea... But I will need help... Ohh... Who to call for help?" Taeyeon talked to herself. Finally deciding to call her Exo Team, she looked for her phone which was luckily just inside her short's pocket.

"Hello. This is your boss. Listen up and record this. I don't want to repeat myself... Now. I want you to come over here in Jeju in an hour. Okay? Then, I want you to buy me a house, a beach house. Use my money from my racing savings. Yep. Don't use the other account. Just use the money from my racing wins. Buy me a beach house, a large one. Are you listening?! Oops. Sorry for shouting. Yes I'm okay. Now shut up. After buying the beach house, I want you to get me a hot air balloon with Tiffany's picture on it and deliver it here in Lotte Hotel. I will be taking Tiffany to the beach house through that. Okay? Yes, make it pink. Okay, where was I? So... The house... I want you to fully furnish it... I want these items on these specific areas of the house... So listen carefully... Yes, I'm drunk! Shut up. Just follow my orders... So... The items..." Taeyeon rambled on and on to her Exo Team.

After finishing the call, she staggered, zigzagged and crawled her way towards the hotel's front lawn and waited for them to arrive.

After an hour, a helicopter carrying her Exo Team came into view as one by one, each of them got down. A hot air balloon loomed before Taeyeon. She grinned satisfactorily at the sight of her hot air balloon which had Tiffany's adorable face and large prints that read "Saranghae" on it.

"Boss... We found you your house, you just have to sign the final documents of ownership. Every item that you specified are already there." Baekhyun reported.

"Good job boys. Tao? Are you manning the balloon? Get changed. Look for a pink mascot. I'll just get Tiffany on our room. Tomorrow morning I want our entire luggage from the hotel to be delivered at my new house. Thanks Baekhyun. Remember my instructions. Okay cutie?" Taeyeon said as she pinched Baekhyun's cheeks which shocked him.

Taeyeon painstakingly and drunkenly walked back towards the Royal Suite and knocked at the door. With one last gulp from her champagne bottle, she sighed. Hoping that the things she planned will go on smoothly.

Knock. Knock. Click.

"Yes Tae-oh my gosh. Are you drunk?" Tiffany was surprised to see Taeyeon on the door jamb, looking red as a tomato.

"Tiffany Hwang. Would you go out on a date with me?" Taeyeon asked seriously, trying to mask her drunkenness.

"Get inside. You're drunk." Tiffany sighed and looked at Taeyeon disappointedly.

"I'm not drunk. I... I really want you to go on a date with me. Please. Just go with me and you'll know..." Taeyeon pleaded. She was on the verge of crying because Tiffany would not believe her.

"Seriously? Earlier you were so mad at your team for drinking and here you are knocking on our room looking all drunk and asking me out on a date? Who are you kidding Taeyeon?!" Tiffany couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Tiffany... I'm sorry. Just look out on the window and you'll know..." Taeyeon pleaded.

Tiffany marched towards the window but all she saw was the view of the sea. She shook her head and walked back to Taeyeon who was still leaning on the door. She was feeling annoyed.

"Okay. So I looked at the window and saw the sea. Big deal. Now come here inside and sober up." Tiffany tried to drag Taeyeon inside.

"Aish. I'm so stupid. I forgot our room is at the back of the hotel so she can't see the hot air balloon." Taeyeon mumbled to herself.

"What was that?" Tiffany asked.

"Nothing. Please... Just go with me... I'll take you out on a date." Taeyeon asked again.

"It's now 5:00 PM Taeyeon and I'm feeling tired. Please stop being an annoying drunk." Tiffany said.

"But I'm not an annoying drunk! You just don't trust me! You don't love me! Go back to your first love then!" Taeyeon was overcome with so much grief with Tiffany's reluctance. She stomped and began to make her way away from Tiffany.

"Taeyeon. Wait! Stop!" Tiffany called out to the girl who struggled to walk in a straight path.

"..."

"Baby... Stop..." Tiffany rushed in front of Taeyeon and embraced her.

"You... you don't even trust me..." Taeyeon's voice was cracking. She was fighting the tears that began to build up.

"Shhh... I trust you and I love you. It's just that you're drunk right now-" Tiffany explained worriedly but was stopped by Taeyeon.

"Then come with me..." Taeyeon plainly stated.

"Okay." Tiffany knew that if she wouldn't agree, Taeyeon would just go all out sensitive about it, so she just allowed herself to be dragged by the girl she loves.

Taeyeon held Tiffany's hand tightly. Despite her mind's drunken haze, her focus on taking Tiffany out on a date or rather, dates was still intact. The two reached the hotel's front lawn. Tiffany's eyes widened in surprised as she saw the giant hot air balloon with a picture of her face and the words "Saranghae" written on it.

"TaeTae... I... I don't know what to say..." Tiffany was speechless. All along she thought Taeyeon was just rambling nonsense.

"See? I told you. Just trust me. Let's go Fany my love." Taeyeon grinned dorkily as she tugged Tiffany along into the hot air balloon which was manned byTao disguised as a pink bear.

"Waaahhh! He's so cute!" Tiffany squealed as the pink mascot opened the hot air balloon's door.

"What?!" Taeyeon exclaimed, feeling jealous.

"But you TaeTae, you're way cuter. I love you." Tiffany smiled broadly as she hugged Taeyeon.

Within minutes, the hot air balloon lifted off from the ground, taking Tiffany to Taeyeon's surprise. Good thing the rain earlier stopped. The sun was about to set, High above the air, Taeyeon and Tiffany could see the sun setting on the sea. The Jeju terrain was a pleasant sight. The miniature houses and people looked interesting below.

"Tiffany..." Taeyeon called out to Tiffany whose eyes wandered on the different sights below her.

"Yes TaeTae Baby?" Tiffany asked.

"Please consider this as our first date. I want to get to know you better. I love you, you know. But I feel like we should get to know each other better in preparation for our marriage." Taeyeon said while struggling not to puke. The ride on the balloon was dizzying and she just felt like throwing up.

"I never thought you'd ask me out on a date. I love you too. And I'm glad that you took me to ride on this. It's my first time... I'm sorry for not trusting you earlier..." Tiffany said as she kissed Taeyeon's lips which tasted like champagne. She just chuckled, wondering how Taeyeon managed to think of it despite being drunk.

"As our first date... I want you to know, that I, Kim Taeyeon would really want you to be my wife. I want you to know that even if this marriage is just arranged, it doesn't change the fact that I'm in love with you. I must admit that I've had a lot of doubts and fears knowing that I'll be married to you. For starters, I'm not really gay. I believe Appa arranged me to you because I said I was gay. The truth is, I just want him to stop meddling on my dating life. But right now, I'm happily gay for you. Hehehe. And I'm happy Appa arranged this marriage for us." Taeyeon confessed as she held on to Tiffany's hand.

"Oh... I see. I did not know that. But I'm glad you've finally realized the truth. That you belong to me. I really had a crush on you when I first saw you... Thought you looked cute and hot at the same time. But as I got to know you, you were different. You're far better than what I thought you are. And yes, I will never regret the day our fathers arranged our marriage." Tiffany smiled lovingly at Taeyeon.

"I love you... I just love you..." Taeyeon turned and embraced Tiffany from behind as the two watched the sun finally disappear into the ocean and the night lights began to pop out one by one.
