It was only Mrs. Kim and Taeyeon at the dining table, eating their dinner that was prepared by Nicole, since Mr. Kim is once again off to another country to propose his idea.

The situation was nothing but a quiet atmosphere, only clinks off fork and spoon were heard.

"I believe we have a little misunderstanding" mrs. Kim breaks the ice.

Taeyeon remain quiet, eating her food out of her plate.

"I only want best for you-"

"if you want what is best for me, stay away and out from what I am doing" Taeyeon mumbles.

Mrs. Kim stares at Taeyeon, but she calms herself down.

"Tiffany is studying right…?"

Taeyeon continues ignoring at such boring question that she believe would lead to nowhere.

"and her father, Mr. Lee….is supporting her fees, every month…right?"

Taeyeon slowly looks at Mrs. Kim.

"how would I know"

"oh, but I know. He does…" Mrs. Kim gives out a fake giggle, "his job were supporting his whole family…he talked about it…oh, he happens to work for Lotte World.."

Taeyeon knew something is going to happen…she knew it…

"he tells me how he was afraid to lose the job because…that would only make things goes worse for his whole family…tell me Taeyeon…does Tiffany loves studying so much?"

Taeyeon bang her hands on the table throwing the fork and spoon across the table, but pass Mrs. Kim, "WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING"

"shhhh, calm down my darling Taeng" Mrs. Kim smiles at Taeyeon, "what would happen…if I fire Mr. Lee for some good reason like, he's too old perhaps.."

Taeyeon looks at Mrs. Kim in disbelief, "dad wont let you do that"

"your dad will be in the states for 2 weeks..i am controlling over now" Mrs. Kim reminds.

"you better watch out" taeyeon spat, letting her hand swing the glass across the table, allowing it to fall onto the floor with a loud breaking sound.

Taeyeon locks her bedroom door.

She lets out a big sigh as she use both her hands to rub her face all over again and again.

She's going to fire Mr. Lee and that would cause Tiffany to have to stop continuing her studies, which mean, she will have to stop pursuing her dreams in the future. This could ruin Tiffany's future…how could there be someone so mean! How could my dad married the wrong person..

I cant let matters like this bothers dad…he's in a big project…but Tiffany…

If I tell Tiffany all this, it would only make her hard to pick, it was like a choice between her family and her studies or me…how could I make her choose something like that! Is not fair for her….why was siwon at her place anyway!?

Taeyeon pick her phone up and starts texting.

[why the hell is he at your house][Tae][Tiff]

That's not the case right now..UGH! what did I ever do to deserve all these God! Why!

[he is not at my house, he was teaching a student in another block][Tiff][Tae]

While over at Tiffany's house.

Tiffany was sitting on her bed, her knees pressed up against her chest, she had been crying the past hour, feeling hurt what has happened in between her and Taeyeon and she wish she didn't had pushed Taeyeon.

All she wish is for her and Taeyeon to settle soon and be all lovey dovey again.

Is odd how she misses Taeyeon a lot more now.

[ok][Tae][Tiff]

Tiffany stares at her phone.

"that was it? That's all you can ever say kim?" Tiffany punches her pillow.

"waeyo" Sunny walks in with a towel hanging around her wet hair.

"nothing"

"right" sunny rolls her eyes and sat on Tiffany's lower bunk bed.

"Sunny ah~ what if…I mean what if…your boyfriend is angry at you…well, at something you didn't do wrong..but then..maybe you are the cause of the happenings-"

"this is confusing, bottom line, you want to know how to cheer him back?"

Tiffany nods her head.

"express yourself..OMG! are you in relationship!?"

"SHHHHHHHH" Tiffany rolls her eyes.

"with who!"

"just tell me what to do…" Tiffany ignores Sunny.

Sunny pouted cutely, but she knows Tiffany is as stubborn as she is.

"well, to steady a relationship, first, make sure you have given your boyfriend, your first"

"I did"

"you did" Sunny stares at Tiffany.

"my first kiss was given"

Sunny slides off from the bed and leans sideways on the floor, "I meant sex you pabo" she got up and returns to the bed.

"what!? are you crazy!"

"I am not, but sex is pretty common nowadays in between teens"

"yes, but that doesn't means you can simply give it to anyone"

"yeah. I agree"

"sex was suppose to be a wonderful thing happens in between two very in love couple" Tiffany sighs.

"for all these years of single life, haven't you been horny before? Doesn't your boyfriend makes you feel horny? At all?"

"ewwww" Tiffany laughs awkwardly, pushing Sunny by the shoulders.

[are you still sending me to class tomorrow?][Tiff][Tae]

Taeyeon still cant stop rubbing her forehead, she feels like her head is about to explode due to the reason of her finding ways to solve the matters. Taeyeon reads the text message she received, she sigh, this is not the time she would think about other stuffs. The point is, she doesn't want to lose Tiffany.

[yes][Tae][Tiff]

Tiffany hwang, why do I have to love you too much….look at what is happening to me now…my exams were the least of my concern…I don't want to lose you….

Taeyeon lays her head against the pillow behind her, as she has one arm over to covers her eyes, as tears escapes from her eyes.

Tiffany make her way to the car parking outside of the lobby, waiting for her.

"morning, Tae" she greets, trying to sound cheerful for Taeyeon, but it was disappointing when Taeyeon just greeted her back with a nod. The whole journey was quiet. And this has never happen before, they were always being so noisy or Taeyeon singing in the car at times.

This time, it was just awkward silence.

Tiffany slowly holds the hand of Taeyeon which were controlling the gear, Taeyeon was shock seeing how Tiffany acts.

"I don't like the two of us are being this way"

Taeyeon still remains silent, her mind is still bothered of what Mrs. Kim said last night.

It was quiet for the entire journey from then, no matter how much Tiffany tries to find a conversation to talk with Taeyeon, all Taeyeon did for respond was nodding or shaking her head.

When it already reaches Tiffany school, Taeyeon pulls the handbrake to a stop.

"will you pick me up later?" Tiffany eyes looks into Taeyeon's, for a second, they only looks at each other.

She is my everything….

"I cant"

Tiffany eyes now sparkles with tears clearly in her eyes, but she shook it off, replacing it with a small smile, "you're busy later….i guess, gwenchana…"

"Tiff-"

"we'll see each other later on, I guess" Tiffany cups Taeyeon's face and lean in for a kiss, a small deep kiss, "I love you" with that, she gets out from the car.

Taeyeon stomps her way angrily into Lotte World, waiting for the lift to arrive.

I need to do something about this…I have to…

When the lift arrives at the ground floor, the door opens, only to reveal Jessica who is inside.

They stare at each other.

"Taeyeonnie~" Jessica steps out from the lift, standing right in front of Taeyeon now.

But Taeyeon could only stare at Jessica and not say a word.

"Taeyeonnie…for Tiffany's sake, just don't go against what Mrs Kim said…." Jessica pleaded.

"and what? be with you?!" Taeyeon glares at Jessica.

"Mr. Lee will be fired-"

**Smack**

Jessica face turn a little to the right side, but as she slowly looks back at Taeyeon in disbelief of what just happened, she held her cheek, the part where it stings and she believe, a handprint would be stain there too.

Tears slowly gathers up in Jessica's eyes.

But Taeyeon still look at her angrily and never seems to feel guilty for the slap she has given to Jessica, Taeyeon steps forward towards Jessica, leaning her face closer.

"I will not let….anyone….just anyone….to hurt Tiffany, not even you or my mum"

With that, Taeyeon steps into the lift, leaving Jessica crying there all alone.

Jessica still cant believe Taeyeon, the person she had fallen in love with, just slapped her so heartlessly not long ago.

"Ms. Kim- you need an appointment to-"

Taeyeon stops and looks at the annoying receptionist who is blocking her way, "do you not know who I am?" Taeyeon questioned her.

"No, Ms. Kim, is just that…I cant just let you in without any acknowledge from Mrs. Kim-"

"move aside if you don't want trouble" Taeyeon who can stand it anymore, pushes the receptionist aside and barge into the director office.

Mrs. Kim jumps up a little from her seat, to see Taeyeon barging into her office.

"Mrs. Kim, I already told-" the receptionist who looks worry tries to explain.

"it's okay, you can go do your work" Mrs. Kim smiles.

The receptionist bows a little as she leaves and closes the door.

"I didn't know you'll drop by for a visit…you should've told me-"

"cut the crap, what do you want"

"what do you mean what I want, Taeyeon…."

Taeyeon clench her jaw tightly, "what do you want in order for you not to fire Mr. Lee"

Mrs. Kim chuckles, "you knew perfectly what I want"

"say"

"that poor girl Jessica, thought you didn't love her anymore…I want you to let her know, you still does and will only married her in the future"

"so all this time, you and her came up with this plan? To break me and Tiffany?"

"is it a yes or a no, Taeyeon?" Mrs. Kim ask.

"how could you be so heartless?"

"Taeyeon, this is all for your future….can you imagine what people will say if you are with Tiffany?"

"I don't care how people will look at me"

"DO YOU NO LONGER CARE ABOUT KIM'S COPERATE ANYMORE? ALL JUST BECAUSE OF AN ORPHANAGE!? BECAUSE OF AN ORPHANAGE, YOU ARE WILLING TO LET THE HARD WORK OF YOUR FATHER FOR THE PAST 30YEARS? LET EVERYTHING GOES DOWN BECAUSE OF YOUR PUPPY LOVE!? HOW IS THAT FAIR FOR YOUR FATHER!"

Taeyeon stayed quiet for a moment, only to let things goes through her mind, and no matter what is in her mind, her mission was not to let Tiffany get hurt, that's all she can ever think about.

"…..if…..if I do as you say….will you leave Tiffany alone…..?" Taeyeon was holding the tears in her eyes.

"yes"

Taeyeon blink her eyes a few times, disbelief of what she is about to promise…

For Tiffany's future.

Taeyeon nods her head slowly a few times, "make sure you keep up with your promise"

Mrs. Kim smiles at Taeyeon, nodding her head slowly too.
