Quoth Taeyeon...
"Try taking another author."
"You mean a second along with Ranmi-ssi ?" Tiffany raised an eyebrow at Taeyeon who was a looking at the storyboard she just handed.
"I will give you one of mine."
"Okay...who?"
"Choi Jihye-nim. She writes really by-the-book comics, so I'm sure you can learn a lot from her."
"Right, I understand." Tiffany nodded, feeling kind of happy that Taeyeon is entrusting her with a second author.
"Ah, she's a veteran writer, so you will meet her in person for the handover. We will take off next Wednesday and Thursday for the trip. The business affairs people will handle our hotel arrangements."
"What?" Tiffany's eyes widened and her cheeks were painted a light shade of pink, "What do you mean hotel?!"
"She lives in the Jeonnam region. That's a 5-hour trip one-way by bullet train from Seoul." Taeyeon said, handing Tiffany back the storyboard.
"Th- Then why not take a plane?!
"Because their airport is in the middle of nowhere. It would actually take even more time. If we get there in the afternoon and then have our meeting and dinner, there is no telling when we would finish. So we're spending the night there! The end."
What...the hell?!
A business trip with my boss...oh crap.
And so...
Tiffany is staring at her little suitcase that has luggage enough for a couple of days. Taeyeon is right beside her staring at empty space as the two wait for the bullet train to arrive at the station.
S- Sure it might be typical for the new editor to go meet the author directly for a handover, but-...but why does it have to be an overnight business trip with Taeyeon of all people?!
"You know, this is..." Taeyeon started, "Kind of like a honeymo- "
"It's a business trip!"
And so...the bullet train arrived and the two settled down on their seats with Taeyeon occupying the seat by the window
"Sorry, I'm gonna take a nap. Wake me up when we're there." Taeyeon said as she covered herself with her oversized coat.
"Ah, okay." Tiffany sighed, trying to relax as the train departed.
I'm kind of tired myself...
Taking a glance at Taeyeon sleeping beside her, Tiffany felt her heart beat faster.
What am I gonna to do?
I feel so weirdly nervous.
That day...even though Taeyeon couldn't hear me...I just opened my mouth and out came all that stuff about love and all...
Am I an idiot or something?
Even if it's overnight, we're still just going to work. It's weird for me to be so overly sensitive.
Meh, our stop is the last one. I may as well sleep. I can't let the author see me tired at our first meeting.
Pulling her coat over her, Tiffany closed her eyes and tried to fell asleep.
A few minutes later, she opened her eyes only to see Taeyeon's angel like sleeping face in front of her. Also sleeping.
What's my problem?
What am I getting all worked up for?!
"Ah! Taeyeon-ssi!"
Taeyeon and Tiffany looked up as they got off the train and there was a middle-aged woman waving at them.
"Jihye-nim! It's been some time." Taeyeon let out her business smile.
"I'm so sorry to make you come all this way for me..." The woman smiled apologetically.
"Think nothing of it. On the contrary, we feel bad for having you meet us at the station like this." Taeyeon and the woman shook hands, "I will give a proper introduction later, but for now, I would like you to meet our new editor, Tiffany."
Tiffany also put on her business smile and bowed, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tiffany"
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Jihye. Wow, you're a young one aren't you!" Jihye smiled back at Tiffany.
In Tiffany's mind, she thought,
Why does everyone in this business get surprised by our department's ages?
Is it not normal to be a 25 years old editor?
It was true. Emerald editors are one of the youngest people working in the comic business even though they're all in their late 20's
"So, Seosang-nim. I found a place where we could have dinner and was wondering if you knew the quickest route there." Taeyeon handed Jihye a flyer.
"That's just over here. I will show you."
"Thank you, that will really help."
"Is this your first time here, Tiffany-ssi?" Jihye asked Tiffany as they start walking towards the restaurant.
"Yes." Tiffany smiled, "Oh, umm...I was a bit surprised! It was my first time seeing farms all along the horizon. I feel like I have come to another world!" Tiffany almost let out a yelp when Taeyeon stomped on her feet.
"You will have to excuse her; she led a very sheltered childhood." Taeyeon apologized.
Jihye, on the other hand, didn't look bothered at all. Instead, she laughed, "Oh no, ha ha ha, she's absolutely right!"
Only then Tiffany has realized what she said, "Oh no! I wasn't making fun of you or anything! I really thought the scenery was pretty!" She shook her hands in the air in an attempt to explain herself.
"I lived in Jeonju for part of my high school years. The atmosphere around here reminds me of it, It takes me back." Taeyeon said, trying to ease the mood.
"Oh really?" Jihye turned to Tiffany with a smile, "Tiffany-ssi, Taeyeon has told me a lot about you. I'm sure it's tough working with comics after being used to literature, but I look forward to working with you!"
"O- Of course! I look forward to working with you as well." Tiffany bowed, clenching her eyes shut.
Crap!
I had to have the author back me up...
This is horrible...
"Seosang-nim, let me get some of your bags for you." Taeyeon offered after seeing that Jihye had a lot of shopping bags in hand.
"Oh no, It's far too heavy to ask that. It's my own fault for getting here too early and wondering around the shops. I couldn't help myself." Jihye laughed at herself.
"It's fine. Here." Taeyeon offered again, extending her hand to take a few shopping bags.
"You're sure? Then I suppose I will indulge." Jihye handed Taeyeon all her shopping bags despite Taeyeon's offer of carrying some of them, "Taeyeon-ssi ever the gentlewoman!" Jihye nudged Taeyeon on the shoulder while giggling.
Gentlewoman?!
Ever?!
"Oh come now." Taeyeon chuckled.
She's just putting up a nice front. I would like her to see how Taeyeon really is!
Tiffany glanced at Taeyeon and found her smiling at Jihye who was talking about something.
Hey, dammit!
Stop grinning like an idiot!
Another glance at Taeyeon, and this time she was laughing softly.
You're always glaring at me and biting my head off...
Tiffany looked down a little bit surprised at herself
...What the hell is wrong with me? It's like I'm jealous or something...
Am I an idiot?
No! That's not it!
Seeing Taeyeon acting like a host just makes me sick is all!
Or rather...I don't-...I don't really care at all!
"..."
Or rather, It's just...
I can't stand myself for getting hung up on this stuff!
"Wow! So many people! I wonder what's going on." Tiffany looked around in awe as the three of them went out of the restaurant they just had dinner in.
"Oh, today is the last day of the festival! They will set off fireworks shortly!" Jihye said excitedly.
"Wow, fireworks in winter?"
"Supposedly it's famous all over the nation," Taeyeon said, stuffing her wallet in her bag.
"Ah, well then, I will leave you here. I have got my car parked over this way." Jihye bowed to the two which made them immediately bow back to their elderly.
"Thank you very much for today," Taeyeon said.
"I look forward to working together in the future!" Tiffany said.
"Same here! See ya!" Jihye walked away with a wave.
Once Jihye disappeared within the crowd Taeyeon let out a deep sigh, "...Okay. Work's finished. Good work today. Think you will be able to handle her?" She asked while massaging her painful cheeks because of fake smiling since the moment they got here until now.
"Yes! She seems quite kind so I think I will be fine," Tiffany said.
"She won't give you any trouble if you just talk things out before making any decision."
"I understand." Tiffany looked at Taeyeon who sighed again.
"Well then...shall we take a look around while we're here?"
"What?"
Taeyeon looked at her in a bored manner, "The festival. The hotel is this way anyway. No harm in checking out a famous festival, right?"
Tiffany's jaw dropped, "Umm, no, I- I'm kind of tired, so I would really like to just go straight to the hotel...hey, wait up! Taeyeon!" Tiffany jogged to catch up with Taeyeon who was already walking ahead, "You know if you just tell me where the hotel is, then I will go on ahead myself...!"
*BAM*
The both of them stopped and looked at the colorful sky in awe.
"Wow," Tiffany blinked as a firework exploded in the sky, "Amazing! It's huge!" Shifting around like a child, Tiffany smiled to herself, "It's really amazing, isn't it? I have never seen a firework display this big, not even in Seoul!"
Just like Tiffany, a lot of people around them were smiling and laughing and some of them were calling loved once and taking pictures.
It's my first time seeing fireworks in winter. It's almost like...snow crystals are falling from the sky...
Moving around a bit more, Tiffany reached a better viewing point, "Taeyeon! We can see better from over here!" Looking back, Tiffany saw that Taeyeon was not behind her. "Taeyeon?" She turned right and left in search for Taeyeon, but Taeyeon was nowhere to be found.
Huh?
Where did she go?
Wait!
No way!
Did we get separated?
And she has got the hotel address too!
I don't know which way I should go. I should call her at least...
Taking her phone out of her bag, Tiffany got pushed from behind, causing her to stumble and drop her phone on the ground, "Wait- I'm sorry- Please excuse me- " She tried to walk through people to get her phone that was being pushed around on the ground.
Just when she leaned down to get a hold of it, It was taken right in front of her eyes. Something light hit her head lightly, when she looked up, It was Taeyeon...who just tapped her head with her phone.
"What are you doing? Idiot." Taeyeon asked, looking upset.
"It- It's because you ran off!" Tiffany looked down grumpily after snatching her phone from Taeyeon's hand.
"You mean it's because you're wondering around like a little kid..."
"What?!" Tiffany glared.
Just then, a couple flirting with each other while locking arms passed right between them.
"Should we hold hands, then? So you don't get lost again?" Taeyeon offered her hand.
Tiffany blushed and looked away, keeping her grumpy cat face on, "Thanks, but no thanks."
In the end, Tiffany ended up walking a little behind Taeyeon in silence as the fireworks exploded in the sky.
And...here it is again...the conversation is stalling.
"Oh right...Yul texted me earlier." Taeyeon said, without turning around, "Apparently the color print of Ranmi-nim's came out without color whatsoever. She's sending it back."
"Okay..." Tiffany answered awkwardly.
"And Ranmi-nim will be involved with the supplementary material in the next issue, so think of something." Taeyeon continued.
"Something?"
"Just anything you might have thought you wanted to try out. Anything will do, so let me know."
"I understand. I will think it over."
After that work related conversation was over, silence came again.
I really don't know how to keep my distance from Taeyeon...I don't have any problems talking to her about work, but when it comes to anything else...I can't seem to carry on any sort of conversation. We get done what needs to be done...but even though we're both grown women...we still can't have a decent chat.
I don't know enough about her...to be able to pick a topic even.
Oh yeah...she mentioned living in Jeonju...I wonder for how long? Geez, I really don't know anything about her privet life...I don't even know what her favorite food is!
An incredibly loud firework exploded causing them to stop and look at the sky. They both looked at it in a daze.
"Hey...what did we talk about when we were dating?" Taeyeon asked.
Hearing Taeyeon's question, Tiffany looked down with a hint of pink on her cheeks, "Um, uh...I think...probably something about what books we liked or...something...I'm sorry. I really don't remember that well..."
"Oh...I guess if we talked about that kind of stuff now it would just amount to work talk..."
Hearing nothing further from Taeyeon, Tiffany looked up at her back as they continued walking
"You know, I-...I really want to get to know you better." Taeyeon said.
Tiffany's mouth was slightly open and her heart started to pound upon hearing that
"It's really...difficult, you know?"
Tiffany heard the painful tone in Taeyeon's voice
For just a moment...I almost opened my mouth and said;
Taeyeon...I feel the same way.
"What?!" Tiffany's voice shook the whole hotel, "Just one room for the two of us?! And a s- single double sized bed?!" Tiffany glared fire at the guy at the front desk.
"Two guests from Im's Publishing, correct? We do have such a reservation, but..." The hotel receptionist looked at his laptop screen apologetically.
"I'm sorry, there has been some mistake! Please give us separate rooms!" Tiffany leaned forward desperately.
"I'm so sorry, but with the festival, we're completely booked at the moment..." The receptionist said as he clicked a few buttons on his keyboard.
"Th- Then please give us an extra bed!"
"I'm sorry, there appears to be none of those left either..." The receptionist looked at Tiffany apologetically.
"Then could you please tell me if there are any other hotels around here?!" Tiffany didn't seem to be giving up anytime soon.
"I see...but I really do believe that everywhere else is fully booked as well..."
"Geez, give it up already." Taeyeon who has been watching Tiffany panic this whole time finally decided to put in.
"But- "
"Deal with it. It's just one night. You can complain to the business affairs people when we get back." Taeyeon span the room key on her index finger then caught it in a cool manner.
"That- That's not the problem!"
"What? Are you embarrassed or something?"
In reply, Tiffany glared.
Because Taeyeon she was spot on.
She pisses me off so much!
"I call the first shower."
Tiffany glared at Taeyeon's back the whole way from her mini suitcase to the bathroom door. Once Taeyeon was gone, Tiffany sighed and took a seat on the edge of the bed.
What the hell am I supposed to do now? The receptionist said all the hotels around here were full. Even if I were to sleep on the floor, there aren't any extra blankets or sheets...
And why should Taeyeon be the one to use the bed?!
Well...it would be easy enough to just put up with it for one night.
But, sharing a bed is just...
Starting to think about lots of things, Tiffany buried her red face in her hands not noticing Taeyeon who was already out of the shower.
"What the hell is this?"
Tiffany jumped in her place in shock
"This is unbelievable...it's way too big!"
When she looked back, she immediately snorted upon the scene in front of her.
Taeyeon was standing there, in a way oversized bath rope, looking like an adorable 5 years old wearing her mom's bath rope.
Tiffany turned around with her hand on her mouth to retain the sound of laughter of leaking out.
"Asshole! I can see your shoulders shaking!" Taeyeon glared. Clearly not pleased that she's being laughed at.
"There is a spare one in here. Maybe that's the small one?" Still laughing, Tiffany opened the wardrobe and took out the other bath rope, "The size for this one might- " Tiffany couldn't continue what she said.
Idiotically, she had pressed the bath rope on Taeyeon's petite half revealed body. Sharing very close eye contact, Tiffany paused for a moment. Taeyeon being too much to take in made Tiffany's breath hitch
"Excuse me. The size seems to be the same." Tiffany walked away and swallowed the overwhelming "But really, you're so little that it's no wonder these don't fit on you."
Taeyeon didn't say anything in response to Tiffany calling her little. She was right after all. She proceeded to dry her hair with the towel, "You gonna take a bath?" She asked.
"Yes. Well then..." Tiffany proceeded to return the extra bath rope to its place and prepare to take a bath.
There is definitely something strange about this.
It's as if...
As if we're...
Taeyeon approached, "You know, this is kind of like...we're on our honeymo- "
"It's completely different!"
It's too easy to hear the people in the room next door. We're tired over here, so I would really appreciate it if they would give us some peace and quiet.
Even though we're returning home tomorrow, I still have to stop by the office and finish up some last bits of work before going home. So I really have to...hurry up and get to sleep.
*badump* *badump* *badump* *badump* *badump*
Even though Tiffany wanted to fall asleep really badly, her heart seemed to be planning on keeping her awake for a while. Laying with Taeyeon on the same bed in the dim light of a night lamp wasn't exactly how she imagined.
It's worse.
Even though Taeyeon is facing her left while Tiffany is facing her right, she just couldn't help it but get all hot and bothered. Every other time she was with Taeyeon on a bed, let's just say it wasn't this dry.
"I'm not going to do anything, you know," Taeyeon said, just to assure Tiffany that she could sleep peacefully tonight.
"A- Anything? I wasn't thinking you would!" She was.
"Good night." Taeyeon rolled away even further from Tiffany.
"...G- Good night..."
What's with that anything?
It made it sound like I was expecting something!
Dammit!
I'm going to sleep!
Seriously!
To sleep!
Even though she said that to herself, she couldn't help it but clench the blanket tightly and her eyes shut to at least ease the heat she's feeling right now.
Tiffany felt Taeyeon shift around a little and the blanket moved from over her.
What now?
Geez, be a little more thoughtful!
What if I catch a cold?!
Annoyed by Taeyeon, Tiffany pulled her part of the blanket over her again. Once she did, Taeyeon resisted and pulled the blanket again.
Hang on there!
Once again, Tiffany pulled her part of the blanket over her only for it to be pulled away again.
Stop hogging the damn blanket!
Upon pulling the blanket too hard, Tiffany caused Taeyeon herself to get pulled in too.
And so, Tiffany found herself in the coziest back hug ever.
Tiffany thought she had already calmed down earlier...
But oh how wrong she was.
The heart pounding and the heat immediately returned the moment she felt Taeyeon's soft breath on the back of her neck.
"Wa- Wait! Taeyeon?! What?! Weren't you asleep?" Tiffany held on to her pillow feeling Taeyeon's arms wrap around her tighter.
"Are you stupid? As if I could fall asleep." Taeyeon whispered.
"Um...I think I will sleep on the chair, after all. Please feel free to use the bed." Tiffany squirmed under Taeyeon but gave up soon after not hearing any respond from her, "Taeyeon?"
Taeyeon sighed, "You know. Like I said before...I really don't know much about you personally. Back then, or now."
Tiffany stayed silent and listened to Taeyeon as she relaxed in her touch. 'Cause she knew, even if she went to sleep on the super uncomfortable chair, she will not be able to fall asleep, her heart is a bitch that beats whenever Taeyeon is involved.
"This whole thing between us had been progressing in a weird order since the beginning, but honestly, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing at this point. Just where am I supposed to start when I want to know more about the person I love?"
Tiffany's breath hitched. What is she supposed to say in response to that?
"Ah...um...wh- what's your shoe size?"
"What?" Taeyeon leaned over to look at Tiffany's face.
Tiffany was hiding on Taeyeon's arm preventing Taeyeon from seeing the redness, "Ah, It's just...I...I don't...know anything about you, either, Taeyeon. I have been trying to think of things to talk about with you. Things besides work related topics...but, I couldn't think of what to ask..."
It was silence for a moment before Tiffany heard Taeyeon take a breath in.
"Seven."
"What?"
"My shoe size. What's yours?"
"Oh. Umm, six."
"Anything else?"
"Hm?" Tiffany raised her head and glanced back
"Anything else you want to ask? Anything is fine. Just ask me."
Turning back a little, Tiffany was face to face with Taeyeon who was leaning over to her.
"I will answer anything and everything you ask."
Ah...
Seeing that Tiffany was looking at her with a flushed face, Taeyeon leaned in a tad bit for their lips to meet in a soft kiss, "Uh...umm...Taeyeon..." Tiffany fidgeted a little and averted her eyes when Taeyeon pulled out.
Taeyeon leaned in for another kiss, more passionate than the first. Triggering Tiffany of what's happening.
"Um..Taeyeon! Wait!"
Tiffany clenched her eyes shut as Taeyeon moved her lips against hers, "Wait...Taeyeon...ha- " She struggled to speak between kisses.
"Turn this way," Taeyeon ordered but did the job of shutting Tiffany's up by sucking on her lower lip, "Ask me. What do you want to know?"
When Taeyeon finally leaned back, Tiffany did not say or do anything and just waited for Taeyeon's next move. Taeyeon chuckled as she sat up on Tiffany's hips and lowered the already disheveled bath rope down. Tiffany just laid there and watched Taeyeon strip in front of her eyes, "I wonder why...*huff* whenever I do it with you...I always get nervous..."
Hearing Taeyeon say that with a soft smile, Tiffany couldn't help it but fume red and cover her eyes that couldn't take the overwhelming sight of Taeyeon.
"Don't-...Don't lie! You're always the one completely composed when things get like this!" Tiffany yelled.
"Am not." Taeyeon got upset and tried to remove Tiffany's arms from her face.
"Don't lie!"
"Then just...touch me." Taeyeon managed to pull Tiffany's arms off of her face and placed one on her cheek while the other was on her chest. Taeyeon looked at her right in the eye with the same unexplainable look she makes sometimes, "Feel for yourself...how hot I am...and how fast my heart is beating"
Indeed Tiffany is feeling it.
Taeyeon's heart was beating so hard and fast, her face was hot and she could see the hint of red on her cheeks in the dim light.
"You get it now, right?" Taeyeon chuckled and had a somewhat shy expression.
The temperature and heartbeat that I can feel...in the palm of my hand...Is it Taeyeon's?...or my own?
It's just that it's nothing...but hot and...painfully sweet.
Looking at Taeyeon being all cute and shy and...hot over her, Tiffany couldn't take it anymore...and pulled Taeyeon in for a deep kiss herself. Tiffany didn't know how much time have passed since they had been making out but she knew that she had to pull away to breath properly at some point.
Taeyeon was the first to pull away, giving both of them a chance to breathe properly. But just when she was about to lean in again, Tiffany avoided her, "What? Let me kiss you."
"I refuse!" Tiffany pushed Taeyeon a little.
"What? Why not?" Taeyeon frowned.
Tiffany averted her eyes, "Be- Because...If we kiss anymore, my lips will get swollen."
"So what?"
"So! Tomorrow we're going to be in the office, and if someone noticed..."
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany for a moment before smiling, "Is that so? Sounds nice."
"Wait!"
Tiffany was too late as Taeyeon had already pushed her chin to the side to face her and started kissing her deeply again.
And she gave in.
Tiffany looked at the ceiling, body feeling limp after the sex session she just had with Taeyeon.
It's no use...this person definitely has a terrible personality.
It pisses me off that she can just fall asleep as though it was nothing.
Tiffany glared at the petite girl sleeping peacefully beside her.
Even so...I have learned something today...Taeyeon's shoe size is seven...and one more thing that I learned today...Taeyeon has a beauty mark near the right side of her lips...and another one on her left cheek.
Feeling that she's getting hot again just by looking at Taeyeon's sleeping face, Tiffany turned over.
Even though everything she does is always so all over the place...
What we're doing...is worse than a silly middle school crush. We're acting like idiots.
And yet even so...knowing something so trivial makes me happy.
"Please forgive my mistake!" The girl from the business affairs department had been bowing and apologizing to Tiffany the moment she stepped foot inside the office.
"It's okay..." Tiffany said tiredly.
"I thought I had sent in the correct booking information, but...I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"It's fine. It's all in the past now anyway...I would rather just forget about it all."
"But, I honestly didn't mean to cause you any problems!" The girl bowed once more.
"Wait. No, please..."
A girl from another department who had been watching the whole time caught sight of Taeyeon entering the office, "Oh, Taeyeon-ssi. Did something happen?"
"Hm?" Taeyeon pushed her glasses up, not knowing what's going on.
"That business affairs girl has been showering Tiffany-ssi with apologies since she showed up."
Tiffany let out a sigh of relief when she saw Taeyeon, "Taeyeon, please tell her that it's really all right!"
"I'm so sorry!" The girl apologized to Taeyeon this time.
"Oh, about yesterday's business trip, huh?" Taeyeon nodded.
"Hm? Did something happen?" The other girl asked.
Taeyeon smirked and put her index finger on her chin, "Thanks to your mistake, Tiffany and I got to spend the night in a hotel together sharing a single double-sized bed."
Broken jaws and chaos erupted in the whole floor and everyone looked at the two excitedly with perverted eyes.
"Tiff! Did something happen?!" Sunny asked excitedly while shaking Tiffany by the shoulders.
"What exactly are you implying by something?!" Tiffany screamed back
"Sorry, Tiffany, but..." Yuri put a hand on her shoulder while holding a telephone receiver in the other
"Jung Sooyeon has writer's block, so I will be using you and Taeyeon's hotel room scene as a setup If it's all right..." Yuri asked with a poker face.
"Please don't! Why are you holding a telephone receiver? Are you talking to your author?!" Tiffany yelled horrifically.
"Do what you want," Taeyeon said as she passed by.
"Taeyeon!"
Another pat on the shoulder made Tiffany turn around only to see Hyoyeon and the whole floor employees behind her, "I think I would like to hear the details of this one." Hyoyeon smiled.
"Me too!" Sunny jumped happily.
The chaos level increased.
"Sure! Tiffany, let them hear all about it!" Taeyeon fled the scene after saying that.
"So? So? What's the real deal, Tiff?" Sunny asked excitedly.
The whole floor took seats and remained silence for Tiffany to tell them what happened.
Tiffany's eyebrow twitched angrily, "Uh...you see, I..."
I'm so going to quit this job!
This is not love
This is not love
This is not love
Not to mention, you're absolutely terrible!
Days until Tiffany falls (completely) in love: 160
..
...
..
Kim Taeyeon...is the editor-in-chief of the emerald editing department.
And she looooves kitties!
- One day at the office
"...You know, I realize it's a little late to be asking this, but..." Tiffany raised an eyebrow at Taeyeon who pushed up her specs, "Is your eyesight really that bad, Taeyeon?"
Taeyeon crossed her arms, "It doesn't bother me much in my daily routine, but I have got to wear glasses to see details or when I'm driving."
"Oh, really?"
"And by the way, this is about the maximum distance I can see well with the naked eye." Taeyeon took off her glasses and stood really close to Tiffany, "Wait, no...this distance." Tiffany was grabbed by the collar and was pulled closer to Taeyeon, "Shit, my eyesight is getting worse...I can't see a damn thing." Taeyeon squinted and get in a kiss away distance to Tiffany's pretty face.
"Stay back!" And Tiffany was struggling to move away.
In the background, Sunny and Hyoyeon were smiling and nodding at the sight.
"Oh, they're such good friends..."
I think Taeyeon is a horrible person.
- Ten Years Ago, After Taeyeon invited Tiffany to her house
I suggested she comes over without really thinking, but...
Taeyeon gulped before glancing at Tiffany who was walking behind her stiffly with a deep blush on her face.
Why do this girl's feelings has to so obviously show up in her attitude...?
"..."
What was I thinking by inviting her to my house...? We don't know a thing about each other. Should I reel her in talking about our favorite books?
...but we already talked each other's ears off about that back in Subway.
Then what? a self-introduction? What's a self-introduction anyways? Birthday, horoscope sign, height, and weight?
Isn't there anything else?
Like hobbies, or maybe our shoe sizes?
"..."
What the hell am I gonna do with her shoe size?
Glancing one more time at Tiffany behind her, Taeyeon felt her heart pound.
This is ridiculous...it's all so new. I don't have a clue where to start. It's roughly 100 meters to my place. At the very least...I have to try not to get too worked up and embarrass myself. Where should I start from?
There is just so much...I want to ask her about...
"Don't be so nervous." Taeyeon stopped and looked back at Tiffany.
"Huh?!"
She looks like she's thinking; How did she know?!
Heh...how cute.
