The Kim's only daughter wasn't the type who likes to meddle with people's business. She was probably one of those kids who will just shrug things off when another world war started in right before her own eyes.
Her eyes.
Her pair of deep silent eyes said a lot of things that not even her parents could fully understand. And her thin lips projected stories of no one.
It was all that until she decided to leave her comfort zone on her way home.
Taeyeon would usually take the long route to reach home from school. Her eyes simply enjoys pictures of waves crashing underneath her knees and her eardrums being pounded by words of the seagulls.
That day, just as she left the shore to the road that will end on her seaside two-storey modern house, a very unusually usual event stopped her track. But she didn't realized it back then that she had walked into something life changing.
Her eyes were used to see beach boys making mess, and her ears were used to hear their victorious laugh whenever they did something they thought was awesome. But none of it was awesome for Taeyeon. It wasn't awesome to bully a little girl her age, a cute little girl—or so, Taeyeon thought.
The three boys were surrounding the little girl, laughing at her shaky hands who were trying to fix the shattered lollipop on the pavement. Taeyeon's blood had never ran wilder than the time she saw one of the boys stomping his feet down on the scattered sugar crush, almost sandwiching the girl's hand if she didn't retreated it any sooner. The shortest one among them had her braids on his hands, pulling on them that made the girl cried even more and the roars of laughter burst in the open noon sky.
And that does it.
Taeyeon's feet were used to just walk away from chaos, and her fists were usually filled with her drawing books and coloring tools. She didn't know what got into her when she decided to drop all of her treasure, and tracked her ignorant steps to the crying girl with messy braids and a pair of round spectacles.
Forgetting about her small and scrawny figure, Taeyeon lurched at one of the boys that was probably older than her—and ofcourse bigger. Her fists she usually use to draw and color dragged her into her very first ever fist fight. She got an eye for an eye, even when in the end she managed to shoo them away by her accident hit that made one of the boys crouched in pain. She had never ever want to be fused in a riot but standing up before the other girl while watching the troublemakers running away in shame could exceptionally lifted her chin up.
Taeyeon didn't know her face hurts until she heard shrieks and saw the surprise on the girl's face. She touched her own cheek and it hurt like hell. Probably hurter than a stomachache.
"Tiffany ! Where are you ?!" A loud man voice was heard from the beach, startling the girl in a pink dress. Taeyeon was spinning her mind about all that has just happened. Her face stung in pain, and she was still finding out how to process the last 5 minutes of a whole new experience. Just before she concluded that the girl's name was Tiffany, the girl's hand reached to her dress' pocket before she quickly put an also pink lollipop on Taeyeon's small hand. Her hand gently balled Taeyeon's bruised fist, forcing her to take the last stick of sweetness she had.
"It's my favorite and it's really delicious. Eat it. It'll cure you. Thank you for—" Just when Taeyeon started to enjoy the sound of her soft voice, the same man voice interrupted
"Tiffany ! I'm going home now ! Hurry up and come here !"
"I will give you more after daddy give me more allowance. I have to go now. See you, friend" And with that, she left the bruised little girl with a stick of lollipop on her hesitating hand. Taeyeon watched the girl's figure slowly disappearing into distance before a stinging pain on the corner of her lips brought her back to her hand
"But my parents told me not to eat sweets" She said to no one.
Taeyeon had never even open a lollipop wrapper before. It was her first time. But she eventually found out how. When she felt her mouth being filled by the sweet strawberry flavor, her pain was gone immediately. And the thoughts of her new found friend—or just someone she met, occupied her mind instead of guilt from disobeying her parents. She quietly gathered her belonging and walked away from her house. She wanted to take more time to reach home.
Thinking maybe she could meet that girl again to say thank you for giving her, her first sweets ever. Or she can just finish her lollipop and find excuses for her wounds.

But Tiffany didn't just gave Taeyeon sweets she bought every time her dad gave her allowance. Tiffany gave Taeyeon her heart, her smile, and her all that Taeyeon gladly gave Tiffany back in return.
Ever since they met when they were just 10 years young, they've grown up together, being the bestest friends of all, and
being so in love with each other.
Their parents knew their friendship even though they didn't really like that. But they had no idea that their kids weren't just hanging out a lot together after school. They had no idea that their kids were running away from the cold harsh reality for atleast half of their day, each days. Because Taeyeon and Tiffany knew their parents would never take them as they were. Just like the world.

Soft thuds of bags echoed in the narrow and quiet alley that ends in the secluded area of the beach. Two senior high school students were all over each other, kissing, breathing heavily, and hands roaming freely. The charming blondie trapped her brownie to the wall, sandwiching the beautiful girl in between the wall and her own body. She pressed their lower parts together as she ran her hands to the clothed mounds infront of her, squeezing them, eliciting moans from the other girl.
"Taeyeon" She called out breathlessly after she broke the kiss. Responding to the call, the blonde named Taeyeon tore her gaze from her secret lover's wet parted lips to her clear brown eyes. Her eyes immediately talked to Taeyeon's silently. She knew Taeyeon owe her an explanation for all those sudden posessiveness, and they needed to talk about it. Taeyeon got what she wants and she let out a sigh as she moved her hands to the curve of her waist
"I don't like it, okay ? I just don't"
"My contact lenses ?" Taeyeon nodded, her eyes were filled with jealousy
"But you said I look pretty without my glasses. So I got them"
"You don't just appear pretty on my eyes only. But on every boys' eyes. I don't like to share when it comes to you, Tiffany. I don't like seeing those guys staring and drooling over my girl"
Oh how Taeyeon wish she could put her arms around Tiffany's shoulder everywhere, telling the world that she was hers and hers only.
"You are not.. sharing me with anyone. I won't let them. Let them stare, Taetae.. Because you're the only one who can do more than staring at me. I let you touch me.." She whispered her last sentence as she put her hands over Taeyeon's, guiding them under her short skirt to the sides of her soft thighs, and up. Her hands left Taeyeon's under her skirt to circle her neck, her lips left a teasing kiss on the corner of her lips
"..I let you kiss me.." Tiffany whispered that time before she kissed Taeyeon's mouth hard that made the latter frown at the overwhelming feeling. Taeyeon let out another sigh after Tiffany's lips left her. Just when she leaned in to get back the lost feeling of her lips, Tiffany dodged her needy lips with a smirk. She saw Taeyeon's eyes protesting. But before Taeyeon could protest even further, Tiffany stopped her by whispering close to Taeyeon's ear
"..And I let you do much more. Like.. I let you being inside me, filling me up, and pleasure me like no other.. What are your thoughts about doing one of those things I let you right now.. ?" Taeyeon kept silent as she had Tiffany sensually dragging her fingertips over her prominent jawline and down to her neck
".. or all of them ? Hm, good looking ?" Tiffany smiled seeing Taeyeon's smile in a split second before she shut her eyes close as Taeyeon latched her lips on hers, claiming her with a passionate kiss. Taeyeon's hand pulled Tiffany closer by her butt and she pressed her hard on even more to her clothed womanhood, grinding slowly, surely making her lover moan to the kiss. Her fingers went up, slipping in under her panties' waistband
"Tiffany.. can I ?" She mumbled close to her parted lips. Tiffany felt Taeyeon's breath tickling her lips and she couldn't help but to nod. With that permission, Taeyeon got on her knees as she pulled Tiffany's panties down to her thighs. Tiffany held her breath seeing Taeyeon kneeling infront of her and scooted closer. And the thing she knew after was she could only close her eyes to the sensation of Taeyeon's lips on her inner thigh. She bit her lip as she felt Taeyeon's teasing kisses trailed up to her awaiting centre. The kneeling girl breathed in and out the scent she love so much, grazing her lover's womanhood lightly with the tip of her nose in process. Tiffany looked down and shiver ran down her back when she met Taeyeon's darkened eyes. Taeyeon pushed Tiffany's skirt up from covering her face, letting the cool blowing air hits Tiffany's heated core. They maintained their eye contact.
Their wild eyes locked at each other until Taeyeon latched her lips on Tiffany's clit, giving her a hard suck that made her arch her body and forcefully broke the eye contact. Tiffany locked her eyes back to Taeyeon's, looking at her who kept on leaving small licks and teasing kisses here and there. Her hands gripped on Taeyeon's hand that was holding up her skirt, and her heart skipped when Taeyeon held onto hers back with the cloth in between their hands.
Taeyeon pulled back for a smile before she leaned back in, flatten her tongue, dragging it from Tiffany's dripping wet hole and up to her clit. She ended it with another hard suck there that made Tiffany let out a strangled moan. Taeyeon loved what she was witnessing. She saw her girl resting her back against the wall. Her body writhed sexily to her actions, her hips bucked gently to every of Taeyeon's sucks and licks. And her mouth. Her mouth hung open, moans and Taeyeon's name slipping out from between her pink plump lips.
Taeyeon got back on her feet after she felt that Tiffany was wet enough. They caught each other's gaze and smiled. Tiffany's hands pulled Taeyeon by her unbuttoned plaid shirt's colar and caught her lips. The brown haired moaned to the kiss when she tasted a hint of herself on her lover's mouth. She gently bit down Taeyeon's lower lip that made her parted her lips to welcome Tiffany's tongue with her own. Taeyeon was so into the kiss that she didn't realized a pair of hands unbuttoned her jeans and one of them slipped inside it. Electricity ran inside her body when a hand landed on her crotch, giving it a light squeeze and caresses
"Are we really gonna do it here ?" The blonde asked and ended it with a smile and a kiss
"Well, can you hold it all the way home ?" Tiffany caught the same smile and another kiss on her lips before she saw Taeyeon cutely shrugged her shoulders, leaving the decision fully on Tiffany. She didn't like the idea of doing it out in the open, even if the chances of having people walk over them was probably a million to one. But she liked the idea that it probably could make Taeyeon feel better. She knew how much Taeyeon wants to claim her as hers infront of the world. After making up her mind, Tiffany finally said
"I don't think I can" With a smirk, Taeyeon watched her taking off her panties down her legs before she snatched it away from her and put it on the back pocket of her tight jeans. Knowing her lover got her eyes on her, Taeyeon tried to attractively pulled her jeans down a little bit, followed by her boxers. Just enough to let her member out. Tiffany really couldn't hold herself even longer when she saw the sight of Taeyeon touching herself, getting herself ready even more. She lifted her right leg and ran her own thigh on Taeyeon's side before Taeyeon's hand hooked it up on her side.
"Fuck me" Tiffany said naughtily while she circled her arms loosely around Taeyeon's neck and had her lower lip in between her teeth that made another smirk grew on Taeyeon's blushing face.
"Fuck you ?" They smiled in between their kisses and muffled their own giggles. Taeyeon held Tiffany's thigh with her left hand while her right that was still making herself harder before she stoppped to align it to Tiffany's wet entrance.
"I'll be honored to. I'm going in, babe" Taeyeon said and kissed Tiffany's cheek sweetly. She then started to push in carefully and slowly after Tiffany gave her a nod as a permission. They moaned out in pure pleasure as their hips met each other. Tiffany stopped herself from falling by wrapping her arms around Taeyeon's shoulders. Her arms circled tighter, feeling more pleasure given by Taeyeon's mouth that covered some parts of her neck and ear with her kisses.
"Hold on tight" Tiffany did what Taeyeon asked and let Taeyeon lifted her other leg up to her waist. Once they're settled, Taeyeon started to move her hips slowly to not hurt her lover. Their lips met in a deep kiss as Taeyeon picked up their pace. Tiffany broke the kiss breathlessly as she needed the air. Her breath hitched when she felt a pair of soft lips on her neck. Instinctively, she craned her neck to give Taeyeon more space. Taeyeon kissed, nibbled, and ran her tongue all over the place she could reach carefully to not leave any marks. The brunette's fists balled Taeyeon's shirt inside, her lips let out soft moans of pleasure she couldn't held in.
Tiffany loved everything Taeyeon did to her. How her gentle kisses sent her body wild. How she sent her senses to higher clouds by being inside her,hitting every of her right spots on every of her thrusts. She moved her body faster than before to lead Taeyeon for a closer taste of the little slice of heaven. Their burning eyes locked and lips met every once in a while as Taeyeon moved faster and deeper. Moans and groans were heard more frequent, movements got more needy. The pleasure pushed them closer to the peak and with the last deep and hard thrust, Taeyeon took them to jump over the peak of the pleasure.
Taeyeon gave Tiffany's flushed cheek a sweet kiss before she smiled feeling Tiffany snuggled her face on Taeyeon's neck. She kept her hips moved in a slow and gentle movements as she gave both bodies some time to enjoy the aftershocks. She rested her cheek on Tiffany's shoulder and gave her soothing kisses everytime she felt Tiffany's body that was pressed close on hers shuddered in post ecstasy. She started to feel the burn on her arms and waist for securing Tiffany on her hold for too long. But she wouldn't mind doing that for hours if it means she could be that close to her.
"Are you planning to put me down on my own feet anytime soon ?" Tiffany asked with a smile. She pressed her lips on Taeyeon's after Taeyeon shook her head for an answer
"You're just always too strong when it comes to this. Use the strength in gym class, Taetae" Hearing her teasing tone, Taeyeon scoffed with a smile and silenced her once again with her lips.

The memories of their younger selves running around and laughing at everything played inside Taeyeon's head as they walked hand-by-hand in the shore. She still remember how her heart race when the breeze ran through Tiffany's long hair. Taeyeon wasn't sure whether she got the sweetness from the candy in her mouth or Tiffany who literally smiled at her every 10 seconds. Her thoughts and steps were stopped by a tug on her arm and a soft lips on her own. Tiffany broke the cute and innocent kiss with a smile that made Taeyeon's heart throbbed even more.
That smile on Tiffany's face was always the same. The same old smile that Taeyeon fell hard for her everytime. The only difference was that time, she could adore that smiling lips with her own.
"What was that for ?" Taeyeon asked, her dreamy voice showed how love-struck she was
"Nothing. Can't I be extra clingy to my girlfriend just because I want to ?" Tiffany answered as she tighten her grip on Taeyeon's hand and hugged her arm. She snuggled her head cutely on Taeyeon's shoulder that made Taeyeon couldn't help but to smile and rest her own head on Tiffany's.
After some more time of light talk and walk, they walked back to the dunes and sat side by side, enjoying the view of the beach they see everyday. It was almost evening, the sky was on its way to turn into shades of orange, with clouds spread all over it.
"I really want to have a small house there on top of that hill.." Taeyeon said out of the blues
"..with swimming pool, cozy living room. Also a huge window so that I can see the aeroplanes passing by. And I also want a girl named Tiffany there.."
That was unusually usual for Tiffany. They tell each other everything. But hearing Taeyeon talk about that kind of things was new for her
"..let's live together. Live with me, Tiffany. We'll build our own house. A little bit far from other people so that they can't judge us"
"You're crazy. We're just high schoolers" Tiffany answered with a smile and kiss on her lips. It was impossible in her eyes. But she did want to live with Taeyeon. No matter how their house will be
"Well, it doesn't have to be done like tomorrow. And I got something to tell you. Actually, I've started to work for almost a month"
"What ?! Why didn't you tell me ?!" Tiffany's eyes widen in shock. She shove Taeyeon's away lightly to show her annoyance for keeping a thing from her
"It's not a big deal—"
"It is ! Now speak !"
"Okay, okay.. You know that I love animals right ?" Tiffany nodded
"I'm working as a vet assistant ! How cool is that ?"
"Reaaaaally cool. But it's not cool that you didn't tell me about it"
"I actually wanted to give you a surprise. Not this way, though. I wanted to secretly build a house for us. But I thought it will be too long and I just can't keep a thing from you any longer" The fact that Taeyeon said finally brought a smile to Tiffany's face. She threw her arms around Taeyeon's shoulders and pulled her closer to kiss her smiling cheek
"I would do anything you ask me to, Tae. So, ofcourse.. I would love to live with you.. But our parents, Tae.. They doesn't even know about us"
"I'll speak up for us"
"It's not that easy. You know they won't accept us. Your parents are even barely approving us being friends"
"I know. I know that it won't be easy as well. But I can try. We'll try. I'll tell my parents first tonight"
"What ?! That fast ? Should I go to your house ?"
"It's okay, Fany-ah. I can manage. And I'll accompany you when we're going to tell your dad" Tiffany nodded and gave Taeyeon's hand a squeeze before she finally widen her eyes in shock at the mention of her father
"I should go home, Tae. My dad will be home at any moment"
"Let's go"
-xxx-
"Thank you for the meal"
Even after they've finished their dinner, Taeyeon still couldn't say the words. She gulped as she thought about her promise to Tiffany. Her body shifted uncomfortably in her seat, to the left, to the right, finding the comfortable spot she just couldn't fine. As her parents almost stood up from their seats, Taeyeon knew she had to say it. Then or never. She took a grip on the air, and said
"Mom, dad ?"
"What is it, honey ? You want to eat more ?" Her mom said as her hand reached to Taeyeon's plate
"No, mom, no.. I just have.. something to say" The parents rose their eyebrows in confusion sensing the nervousness. They exchanged looks before they focused their curious eyes to their daughter who hung her head low. Taeyeon took a breath in and lifted her head to meet her parents' eyes
"I'm currently dating someone right now. I.. I have a girlfriend" Silence filled the tense dining room before smiles burst out from the older pair
"That's great, honey ! We have actually started to talk about you and dating. We don't oppose you to date someone. You're on the age to start dating" A hint of relieve filled Taeyeon's heart when she saw her dad nodded to her mom's words. And smiles filled their face.
But the worst is yet to come
"So who's the lucky girl, kid ? Do we know her ?" The only man in the dining table asked out in his calm fatherly voice
"Actually, yeah.. It's Tiffany. I'm dating Tiffany. We're together"
And that wiped the smiles off their faces.
"Tiffany ? Tiffany Hwang ? As in that drunkard boatman's daughter ?"
"Yeobo.. don't say that.." The kind looking woman gently put her hands on her husband's arm, calming him down. But all she got was a loud voice
"I'm just saying the truth !"
"Taeyeon, honey-"
"I know you don't like her dad. But I love Tiffany. Mom, dad.. Please.. please just please let us be. I have never asked for anything else. And now I just wish to have your blessings.. Nothing more.. Please"
Taeyeon was the type of kid who just obey every of their parents' words. As a kid, she wasn't even allowed to eat sweets. Because her parents were dentists. A pair of one-hell well known dentists. And she didn't even protest.
Saying all those words, asking, begging for something was the first one for her.
But, well.. Tiffany was her first love, the first person she kissed, the first person she wanted to stand up for, and the first one to give Taeyeon sweets. Tiffany saved her from the shadow by shining bright lights on her. She dragged her out from her chained zone. She taught her that there must be first times on anything. She was always there for Taeyeon's firsts, their firsts.
And she managed to drove the calm kid wild.
"How long has it been ?"
"Almost 4- 4 years.."
"And you just told us now ? I don't want to know more. End it"
"Dad ! please—"
"Don't raise your voice on me, kid ! You can date anyone you like beside that Hwang's daughter. I don't want to associate with that sot"
"Yeobo !"
"What ?! You still care about him, huh ?! Why don't you just take care of that daughter of yours.." Taeyeon frowned seeing the scene infront of her, her parents screaming at each other, before a finger being pointed angrily at her
"..and teach her how to not fall in love with the wrong person !" He stood up fumingly as he threw his napkin down the table. His eyes pierced through Taeyeon's own before he reached her hand out to Taeyeon
"Give me your phone"
"Yeobo, that isn't necessary. Taey—"
"It is ! Now give me before I take everything"
Taeyeon just kept her outside cool even when her inside was burning. She won't be able to contact Tiffany without it. And that was exactly what her dad wanted. Taeyeon silently took her phone from her sweatpants' pocket and put it on her dad's palm
"You are not allowed to contact her. Finish it at school. If I ever caught you meeting her ever again, you won't have your phone back" The man said clearly while he put the gadget inside his pants' pocket
"I—"
"I'm going for the night shift. You better end that relationship really soon, Taeyeon. I don't want to know anything but that"
-xxx-
"..Listen, Taeyeon.. I think you should know why your dad doesn't like Tiffany that much. It's not because of all the status. That she's a boatman's daughter. But it's because of her father himself. Your dad would still dislike her father and her even if they were billionaires. So, your dad, Tiffany's dad, and I were best friends since we were young. We were just like you and Tiffany, hanging out a lot afterschool. As time goes by, as we grew up, things got complicated. Your dad and Tiffany's dad liked me, but I chose Tiffany's dad at first.. It wasn't bad, your dad respected our choices wholeheartedly like a man he is. Tiffany's dad and I loved each other—atleast I thought so. Until we found him cheating behind my back. Your dad was furious, he let go of me just to be cheated like that. I don't hate Tiffany's dad- well, ofcourse I did at first.. But not anymore because I have your dad now.. the one who is faithful to me since then. And I'm also not saying that Tiffany is bad for you or anything, because I have never got the chance to talk much to her. In fact, I would like to know her more if I got the chance to. About your dad, I'll try to talk to him slowly, okay ? You have my support for now, Taeyeon-ah. I would still agree to every of your choice as long as you don't make a bad one. You've obeyed too much of our choices. Now, I want to respect your choice and decision, too"
It was probably Taeyeon's first time locking her room's door and jumping out of the window. With her hood covering her head, she walked fast under the moonlight and in between the cold night air to Tiffany's house.
After she got there, she saw Tiffany's dad sleeping on their living room's couch with bottles of drinks on the table beside him. Then she knew that the coast was clear. She snuck to the right side of the house, to Tiffany's room's window. She silently hid herself with the shades from the boats until she got to Tiffany's room. A dim ray of light seeped out from between the pink curtain, giving Taeyeon's curiousity a peek of what were her lover was doing. It was midnight but the first sight that came inside Taeyeon's vision was Tiffany who were praying on her bedside. She had a smile on her face while she waited for her to finish.
After she was done, Tiffany stood up and reached out to her flip phone, expecting a reply from Taeyeon she didn't got. She huffed out in disappointment when she only saw a picture of them as the wallpaper, and still no new message. She put it back in place again and positively thought that Taeyeon was just too immersed on studying that she forgot to check her phone. Just before she walked to turn the lights off, she heard knocks on her window. When she was too scared to see, see heard a follow up whisper
"Tiffany. It's me" Tiffany recognized the voice instantly. She quickly walked to the window and pull the curtain open, revealing her smiling lover
"Taeyeon ?" She greeted confusedly in a whisper. She expected just a short message from her but she got the person herself. Tiffany couldn't help but to leaned out from her bedroom's window to cup Taeyeon's cold cheeks with her warm palms and pull her in for a kiss
"Hey"
"What are you doing here ? I don't think my dad is asleep yet"
"He's asleep. I saw him from the living room's window" Tiffany's lips formed an 'o' shape before she gave Taeyeon another sweet kiss on her lips
"I sent you a message. Why didn't you answer ? Are you okay ?"
"Sorry. A long story. I'll tell you later. It's kinda cold outside—"
"Come in, Tae"
"No. Grab your warm clothes and have a walk with me ?"
They walked under the clear night sky, hand in hand. The walk was rather quiet as they were distracted by the view. They set out a mat down and got under the blanket that Taeyeon had prepared. Taeyeon wrapped her arms around Tiffany who rested her head on her shoulder as they sat side by side. All settled for a talk they needed
"It didn't turn good isn't it ?" Tiffany finally broke the silence first. The question had been bothering her for the whole walk even though she already knew what happened from the look on Taeyeon's eyes.
"Yeah.. my dad.. he even took my phone away. I'm sorry I didn't answer your message"
"No, it's okay, Tae.. It's not your fault.."
They fell into silence as they pondered on which part they should start to talk about. There were too many things that were waiting to be settled.
"..I'm just no good for you, Tae—"
"Hey don't say that—"
"I know I am, Tae. That's just what it is" Hearing a sudden sob, Taeyeon pulled away to meet her eyes. Her heart broke immediately on the first tear she shed. Taeyeon leaned in to kiss the tear away just to be dodged. And Taeyeon felt her heart crumbled even more being rejected like that. But she just let Tiffany wiped her own tear as she sat in silence
"I know your parents won't accept me. You're too good for me, Taeyeon-ah. I know that. I can't give you anything. But I still get greedy, I still want you. I only want you—"
Tiffany's words were cut by a hug that wrapped her body inside. She tried to push her away but Taeyeon kept her unmoved
"I bet you know that I only want you, too, Tiffany. Don't you say any of that ever again. Don't say that you can't give me anything. You give me love. And that's all I ever need.."
Another silence filled the air before Taeyeon broke it
"..I love you, Tiffany"
Hearing Taeyeon's sincere voice saying those words will always be the reason of her uneven heartbeats. She couldn't held back the tears she had been holding in for long by then. Her arms finally found their ways around Taeyeon's waist as she wailed out in her embrace. The place that made her feel safe more than being under her house's roof.
Tiffany eventually calmed down and let all of her worries fly away for that moment. She let Taeyeon mend her hurting heart with her sweet jokes and light kisses here and there. Once the mood got better, Taeyeon slowly explained all that happened with her parents, including the true reasons.
"..do you want to go for an ice cream date tomorrow ? We can go after my shift is done" Tiffany smiled and nodded at the offer. She lifted her head from Taeyeon's arm and leaned in to gently captured Taeyeon's upper lip in between her lips. Their lips engaged in a slow liplock session as Taeyeon pulled Tiffany closer by her waist. The lying bodies were pressed onto each other closer, legs were entangled into one, keeping the warmth flowing back and forth their bodies. Tiffany broke the kiss with a smile after some time. She then placed her head back on Taeyeon's arm that was regularly spread out to be her personal pillow. She moved closer and sighed when her head was snuggly tucked under Taeyeon's chin. Her nose inhaled Taeyeon's scent that kicked her sanity out of her mind immediately.
How she wish she could feel that safe everyday. Being so close to Taeyeon, having her arms wrapped posessively around her body, and hearing her heart that beat just for her.
"Give me some more years.. we'll build our own house. And I'll be able to hug you to sleep anytime you're sleepy" Taeyeon said, just like she heard what Tiffany was thinking about. Her voice was soft and full of hope. She wanted that as much as she wants.
Taeyeon smiled at the feeling of her sure nods and the tightened hug on her back.
"I'm always yours. No matter what. I love you, Tiffany"
Tiffany felt her body warmed up by her words and the comfort managed to swallow her down into a sleep as she felt Taeyeon caressed the back of her head soothingly.
She doesn't mind being around the chilly night air when she have Taeyeon next to her, effortlessly being her fireplace. Few more years till the day they finally have the same roof wasn't a long wait when she have Taeyeon. Anything as long as she have her.

"I'll see you at school later" Taeyeon said as they finally arrived infront of Tiffany's small house. She held both of her hands in hers. Smiles were apparent on their faces looking at each other that were bathed in a dim ray of sunlight. Taeyeon scanned the quiet streets before she leaned in to press her lips on Tiffany's softly.
"I'll see you. I love you, Tae" They smiled for each other once again after Tiffany's lips left Taeyeon's cheek
"I love you too. Now go in. Try to sleep more for a while" Knowing Taeyeon wouldn't go home until she saw her enter her house, Tiffany nodded immediately. Her fingertips traced Taeyeon's palms before she finally walked away, leaving her smiling lover in the front yard. Her feet took some steps away from Taeyeon and she had missed her already. She missed being wrapped around her arms and feeling her skin on hers. Betraying herself, Tiffany turned her heel to face the shocked Taeyeon and immediately cupped her freezing cheeks by her palms before she crashed her lips on hers. After some brief moments, Tiffany broke the kiss with a smile and blushing cheeks. Then it was Taeyeon's turn to kiss her forehead, down to her nose and ended it on her lips.
"Now go" Taeyeon said with a smile that made Tiffany turned her back again for the second time and walked to her room's window. Before she jumped through the window, she cutely waved her hands to Taeyeon who waved back in return
Just right after Tiffany closed her window and saw Taeyeon's back slowly fading out from her vision, she got her body under her blanket, curling up and hoped to get a little bit rest before the class starts. She felt funny, thinking about how being outside with Taeyeon could be warmer than being inside her room and under the warm blanket. She was too in love.
Slowly but surely her tiredness dragged her to the dreamland. Just when she almost open the gate there, her bedroom door slammed open. Her body jerked in shock and she quickly sat up. She saw her father on the doorway, with a glass bottle on his hand. The old man looked messy. He got dark circles under his eyes and his lips were pale and chapped
"Dad ? You shouldn't drink that early in the mo—"
"Where have you been ?" Tiffany's face turned white at his cold voice. That was the end for her, she thought.
"I- I was sleeping"
"I mean.. where have you been all night ?"
"Dad.. you've drink this too much. I'll make you some soup" She stood up and tried to take the bottle from the tipsy old man but he avoided her
"Don't try to divert the conversation, Tiffany. Answer me !" The loud voice filled the small room. There was some seconds of silence before the girl decided to say something
"I was out with Taeyeon"
"So she's the one you were kissing just now ?"
The end seems closer for her. She kept silent before another scream made her flinch
"Answer me !"
"Tae- Taeyeon is my bestfriend, dad"
"You know how much I hate liars, Tiffany. I saw you kissed her from the living room ! What kind of bestfriends kiss each other ?! Huh ?!" He screamed once again before he took another gulp from the bottle
"Dad, please stop drinking that—" Tiffany attempted to take the bottle once again. But he moved his arm away from hers that made the bottle hit the corner of Tiffany's lips
"You don't tell me what to do !" The tears she was holding was finally freed. It hurt so bad that blood started to seeped out of the cut.
"You're dating her aren't you ?!"
"Answer !"
"How long has it been ?!"
She just kept quiet and her terrified thin body tried to escape the strong grip on her shoulders
"SAY SOMETHING, TIFFANY !" With that, he pushed her daughter's shaky body down to the bed. Tiffany immediately moved to the corner of the bed, knees pressed close to her chest and hands over her ears. The old man threw the bottle angrily on the floor. Shards of glass shattered everywhere and the piercing breaking sound broke Tiffany even more. He took a hold of his daughter's wrists and pulled it away from covering her ears. He pulled her by her wrist to his eye level. Tiffany could only cry silently while avoiding her dad's eyes
"LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING !" He screamed infront of her face. And Tiffany did. Her scared eyes met his fuming ones.
"LISTEN ! YOU END THAT SHIT RIGHT AWAY ! END IT !"
"D- dad.. I.. love her.." Tiffany didn't know what gave her the courage to say that. It was the truth. And she didn't regret to fight for her luck.
But all she knew after that was her body being slammed back down harshly and her chin being grabbed forcefully
"YOU BETTER END IT, TIFFANY ! BECAUSE IF I EVER SAW YOU WITH HER AGAIN.. I'LL KILL HER ! TAEYEON ONCE AGAIN AND I'LL KILL HER INFRONT OF YOU !"
With that, her bedroom door got slammed close once again, leaving Tiffany curled up alone. Crying and hurting. Thinking about whether she should tell Taeyeon or not. Whether she should keep a thing from her for the first time or just tell her and cry in her hold.
