TaeNy’s Apartment,

Tiffany’s POV

Since the charity dinner, Taeyeon and I have been in a very weird relationship. Both of us acted like nothing happened. As if she didn’t do anything…or I didn’t see anything. Although our relationship looks normal on the surface, it wasn’t.

I know that Taeyeon is with Sunye…we haven’t talked about it but I know. Every time Sunye is around, she doesn’t see me anymore, we’re like strangers. Is it because she is afraid that Sunye would be jealous? Or misunderstand something?

It was really hard to deal with this situation. Taeyeon would be so close to me, like how she was before Sunye came back…but then, she becomes cold again whenever Sunye is with us.

Even though I hate this situation and how Taeyeon is treating me, it was better than not being with her at all…it’s stupid of me…but I prefer getting hurt than hurting our relationship.

I can hold the pain…I know I can…as long as she smiles to me…I can do it.

Taeyeon was sitting on the couch, working on her computer. I went into the kitchen and looked into the fridge. There was almost nothing…

“Taeyeon…are you hungry?” I asked her casually.

“Depends…what are you cooking?” she responded, still looking at her computer.

“I don’t know yet…”

I saw her close her computer and walked to the kitchen. “Hmm…let’s see what we have” she opened the fridge.

“What are you doing?”

She took out some vegetables and meat. “I’m gonna cook”

“I can do it”

“Let’s do it together then” she gave me a smile, the one that makes everything worth it.

“Huh? You want us to cook together?”

“Why not? I’ll teach you”

“You’re not any better…” I said discreetly.

“Be quiet and learn” she instructed me.

I pushed her playfully when the door bell rang. “Oh? Are we waiting for someone?” I asked her.

Taeng shook her head like a kid. “Don’t think so…”

I went to open the door.

Sunye…

“Hello Tiffany” she greeted me. “Is Taeyeon here?”

I nodded and stepped aside, allowing her to come in. “Thank you, I brought food” she smiled at me before walking to the kitchen.

As soon as she stepped in, I wanted to leave, to get as far as possible from them…from the sight of them together…as a couple.

I painfully walked to the kitchen as well, I immediately regretted it though.

Sunye was beside Taeyeon in the kitchen, showing her what she bought at the market. “Taeyeon-ah, let’s cook lunch together” she said happily.

Taeyeon and I made an eye contact but she quickly looked away. I knew what it meant…she chose Sunye over me…again.

I wanted to be polite and help them but once I saw Sunye being all sweet with Taeyeon, touching her hand, her face…I couldn’t take it.

“I’m not going to eat with you guys, I have an appointment already” I excused myself quickly and went to pick my bag before leaving the apartment.

I had nowhere to go…I don’t want to meet with Sooyoung or Hyo since I wasn’t in the mood and I don’t want them to worry about me. Jessica was probably busy with Yuri, she was still playing hard to get, even though they have already kissed. I was happy for Yuri…happy that she didn’t end up like me.

I was wandering around town when a familiar voice. “I’m starting to believe that you’re stalking me”

I turned around and saw Sungmin. “Hi” I bowed to him.

“You don’t have to be so polite with me; don’t we know each other enough?” he smiled.

“How are you oppa?” I asked politely.

“I’m bored actually…do you mind keeping me company for today?”

I didn’t have any other plan…I didn’t even know where to go…staying with Sungmin might not be a bad idea; he has the ability to make me smile. “Sure” I responded.

It doesn’t matter how I was going to spend that day, as long as I don’t think about Taeyeon, everything should be fine.

The Kwon’s Residence,

Yuri’s POV

I finally got a date with Sica! Well, it’s not officially a date but she still agreed to hang out with me this weekend. There is a new movie that she wanted to watch so I took this opportunity to go with her.

I wonder how I should dress…casual simple or casual HOT?

I was trying some clothes in my room when my sister popped in. “You should go naked, that will leave a stronger impression! HA HA HA”

I ignored the stupid comment and went on with trying my clothes.

“No seriously Yul, people say the first date is really important! If you go naked…”

I grabbed the closest thing near me and threw it at her before she could finish.

“Hey I’m giving you advice for your first date! Be grateful!” Yoona said as she lay down on my bed.

“If I want to fail on my first date, I’ll ask for your advice”

At this moment, my mom joined us in the room. “Oh my! Yuri you’re so pretty tonight!” she complimented me.

I rolled my eyes. ”Mom…I haven’t changed yet…”

“I told her to go naked but she doesn’t want to” Yoona started again.

Of course, my mom had to play with her…"Oh…naked ah? Well…I don’t really know the trend right now so maybe…”

“MOM!” I shouted exasperated. “Please both of you! I’m nervous enough!”

“Come on Yul, you’re just going to watch a movie” Yoon said.

“It’s not a simple movie…it’s a movie with Jessica!”

Yoona wasn’t paying attention to me anymore, she was busy texting someone and giggling like a crazy teenager.

“YA! At least act like you’re interested!” I scolded her.

She ignored me and turned to my mother instead. “Umma, can I go out tonight? To the theater”

My mom thought for a moment before refusing. “It’s late Yoona…”

“But I’m a big girl now! Yuri can go and I can’t?! WHY WHY WHY?” she whined loudly.

“Yuri has a car…”

”That’s not fair!!!!” she whined even louder.

“If you really want to go…then maybe…” my mom looked at me…I knew what she meant.

“No No No, no way!” I immediately said

“Yul be nice and let your sister accompany you” my mom asked.

“No way! That’s my first date with Sica!” it was my turn to whine.

“I’m sure Jessica won’t mind”

“Yeah she won’t mind. Besides, it’s not even an official date” my sister added.

“Say it again and you won’t come for sure” I threatened her.

“I might help you with Sica! No offense but you kinda suck in the dating department” she rolled her eyes

“Huh excuse me? Say it again?”

“Come on that’s true! You’ve never date before…”

“You don’t need to say it out loud”

“There is nobody here…”

“Be quiet!” I scolded my noisy sister.

“Well so it’s decided. Yoona you can go with your sister. Both of you can’t come home too late though”

“Mom, I’m going out with Sica…I’m praying she won’t fall asleep before the movie ends…” That would be funny though, if she falls asleep during the movie…

“Okay! I’m going to change!” Yoona flew from my bed and ran out. “PLEASE BE READY IN 15 MIN!” I heard her screamed from the hallway.

I sighed and looked at my mom. “What did I do to have such a monster as sister?”

My mom only laughed. “You know she loves you!”

“Yes…when she sleeps”

I went back to my clothes…casual normal with a mix of hotness should be good.

Later in Yuri’s car, somewhere in Seoul

“I didn’t know you became close friend with Seohyun” I told Yoona. We were driving to Seohyun’s house to pick her up.

“She’s nice…” Yoon simply said. I can tell there was something else…she just didn’t want to tell me directly.

”She’s also Taeng’s cousin so you better behave” I warned her. Taeng would kill me if her beloved cousin was corrupted.

“I know I know” she annoyingly said.

We arrived in front of Seohyun’s house and I was surprised to see Sunny there too. “Don’t tell me you’re coming with us Sunny?!” I asked her once the car stopped in front of them.

“Nah I’m going out later, I was just being nice and wait with Seohyun” she gave us her usual bright smile.

Yoona got off from the car to open the back door for Seohyun and sat behind with her. I discreetly smiled at her action.

“I’ll bring her home right after the movie, unless the kids want to go eat ice creams…” I told Sunny.

“It’s okay, call me if there is something. Have fun girls” she waved before I drove off.

“Was it your little sister Seohyun? She’s cute” Yoona said.

I started to laugh and saw Seohyun shook her head while explaining to my sister. “No no she’s my older sister…”

“Huh? She’s older than you?” Yoong asked in shock. “She’s so small…I can crush her with one hand…”

“Ya, don’t exaggerate” I sighed.

“Yes my sister is rather small for her age…but she has more aeygo than me”

“Sunny has more aegyo than everyone else on this planet, so don’t worry Seoyhun” I reassured her.

“Wow but it’s funny how you’re so tall and she’s so small” Yoon continued.

“It’s like you and Yuri, your skin is kind of white whereas…”

“Aish…don’t say it please…” I interrupted her.

“Oh! Is Taeyeon and Tiffany-unnie coming to the movie too?” she asked innocently.

“No Seohyun…I think they’re both busy”

“I haven’t talked to Tiffany-unnie for a long time already…” she seemed a little bit sad.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell her to call you when I see her in school”

“No…I don’t want to bother her…”

Fany has been really down lately, although she keeps smiling in school, I know that she is not fine. Taeyeon and SunYe ambiguous relationship might be the cause…

After picking up Seohyun, I drove to Jessica’s house. To my surprise, she was already waiting for me outside.

“Hi everyone” Sica said as she entered the car and sat on the passenger seat.

“Unnie! You don’t mind us coming with you, right?” Yoona asked bluntly.

“Of course I don’t mind! The more the merrier!” she turned around and smiled at the kiddos.

“Yuri-unnie was scared that we will mess up her plans”

“Huh? Which plans?” Sica gave me a suspicious look.

“ha ha…ha ha…I don’t know what she’s talking about!” I said nervously.

Sica gave me an evil glare. “I’ll keep an eye on you, Kwon Yuri”

A theater in Seoul,

We arrived at the theater around 8pm, fortunately, I quickly bought and printed the tickets before we left home because the line was quite long. We bought pop-corns and drinks then went to find seats.

We were all seating together; Sica, me, Yoona and Seohyun. I was kind of scared at first that Sica would seat beside Seohyun and leave me alone but my plan worked.

It was really hard to focus on the movie while seating beside Jessica…in the dark. I think my hands were sweating…my whole body was sweating actually. I thought the whole theater was on fire.

Sica in the dark was…well it was hard to see her but she was HOT, my Jessica is always hot. Ah…Jessica…Jessica’s eyes, Jessica’s lips…I want to kiss those lips again.

But during the movie, I noticed something that made me go crazy…

Yoona and Seohyun were holding hands!!!! OMG!!! My sister…my lil sister…and Seohyun…Taeng’s innocent cousin…

“Why why why…” I was whispering to myself while shaking my head.

“Ya, what’s wrong with you?” Sica nudged me.

I looked at her desperately. “My eyes…” It was nothing really…they were just holding hands but still…I didn’t even know they were friends but now...they’re holding hands in a dark theater…did they kiss already? OMG…

I was literally freaking out and imagining things in my head…

“Yo Yul” Yoona called me softly, not wanting Sica to hear I guess. “What are you waiting for? Take her hand!!!!”

Aish…she was giving me lesson now…"I know what I’m doing!! Leave me alone!”

“You suck!” she said before turning to Seohyun and whispering to her. OMG…these two…

I tried to calm down and relax, forget about my sister and concentrate on the beautiful girl beside me. Jessica was paying attention to the movie, I was glad that she didn’t fall asleep. I don’t know why we went to watch a romantic movie though…I should have insisted on the horror movie…there would have been much more occasion to take her hands. He he

Near the end of the movie, the scenes were getting emotional and I could hear everyone sobbing a little, even Sica. This was my chance!!! I tried my best to make my move as natural as possible. Slowly, I put my arm around her shoulders and pull her toward me, to comfort her. Surprisingly, she let me hold her.

A big smile appeared on my face and Yoona seemed to have notice it as she giggled.

After the movie, the kids wanted to eat ice cream so we went to an ice cream store. Jessica seemed to be enjoying the night so far which made me really happy. My only concern was for later…I couldn’t have a moment alone with Sica since the kids were with us.

After the ice cream, it was time to go home. I decided to drop Seohyun first. I nearly fainted when Yoon asked Sica and I to close our eyes while she said goodbye to Seohyun. She got off the car and walked with Seohyun to the gate.

I turned on the radio and closed my eyes.

“What are you doing?” Sica asked me.

“I don’t want to see what they are doing or saying”

“Why not? It’s interesting…” she said. I told her to close her eyes too but she didn’t want to.

“OH My! Yuri Yuri!!!” she suddenly said while hitting me.

“No no no no no I don’t want to know. I don’t want”

“But they are…”

“La la la la la la la la la la la la la la” I randomly sang, not wanting to hear what Sica said.

I finally opened my eyes when the radio was turn off. Yoona was back in the car and she was smiling sheepishly. I turned to Sica and even she was smiling too…OMG…what happened? What did my baby sister do? What did she do with innocent Seohyun? T-T

Once again, I had to brush aside these…thoughts while I drove to Sica’s house. I started to think about how I was going to say goodbye to Jessica…with Yoona there, I couldn’t do much.

Jessica was already yawning in the car, I couldn’t help but smile, she was so cute with her sleepy face. Once we arrived at her house, Yoona got off the car. “I’ll give you some privacy, I won’t peak so do whatever you have to do” she said before closing the door.

I unconsciously blushed at her words.

I swallowed hard before turning to Jessica. “Did you have fun tonight?”

“It wasn’t that bad” she teased.

“Do you think we can go out again in the future?”

“Hmmm…we’ll see” she responded.

Before I could say anything, she gave me peck on the cheek. I blushed even more and stared at her, in shock.

“For your good behavior tonight” she winked at me before opening the door and getting off the car. “See you next time Yoona” I heard her say.

Yoona got in the car and looked at me, I haven’t moved since Sica kissed me. I was still staring blankly outside. “Yuri? Yuri? YURI! She went in her house already! Wake up!” she shook me brutally.

“Ouch that hurts!” I scolded her.

“Whatever, let’s go home, I’m tired” she complained.

I sighed and drove off. I still can’t believe that I just had a double-date with my sister…and worse; that her relationship seems to develop faster than mine. T_T

It wasn’t that bad actually, I hold Jessica in my arms and she gave me a peck…it was quite a productive day.

Next time, I’ll kiss her for sure!

TaeNy’s Apartment,

Taeyeon’s POV

Fany went out since lunch and I had no idea where she went. I drove Sunye home and thought Fany would be back by the time I reached the apartment but she was still nowhere to be seen. It was already near 11pm and she was still not at home. I even called Yuri to ask her and even she and Jessica didn’t know.

I should have call Fany myself but…after what happened…I don’t know how to handle the situation.

I kept on wandering around the house, pacing out before standing in front of the kitchen’s windows. I was looking out when I saw Sungmin’s car parked across the street. He got off of the car and walked to the other side to open the passenger’s door. I knew who the girl was…of course it was Tiffany.

What is she doing with him at such hour? Alone with a guy until so late…what is she thinking? I felt my blood boiling up as I looked at them talking outside. He was especially close to her…too close for my liking.

The conversation was close to end since Fany bowed to him but unexpectedly, he pulled her in for a hug. I don’t know how I controlled myself…I wanted to break something…release my anger.

This was also too much for me, I couldn’t watch more, I didn’t know what will happen after the hug…Although I was technically with Sunye, I can’t…I just can’t see Fany kiss someone else.

I walked away from the window and sat on the couch. I thought of going in my room, acted like there was nothing wrong instead of waiting and meeting Fany but my body didn’t want to move. The waiting was killing me slowly; I couldn’t stop myself from thinking of what was happening downstairs.

5…10 minutes later, I finally heard the door opening. Fany was home. I paid attention to the sound of her footsteps, they were careful and light…she was probably praying that I would be in my room already.

“Where were you?” I asked, my body still not facing her.

“…”

“Ya! Where were you?” I asked her again, this time, I stood up and looked at her.

Her face was so…tired, she was looking at the floor. “Does it matter to you?” she asked with a smile…a smile that actually breaks my heart.

“Do you know how late it is? Don’t you know it’s dangerous outside?” I scolded her. I couldn’t say anything else…I have no right to be worried anymore…

She sighed and was about to go in her room when I shouted. “Hwang Mi Young! I’m talking to you!” I was about to explode.

She stopped and looked at me with an angry face. It was the first time that I saw her like this…so different from the usual Tiffany.

“Why are you talking to me now? Why do you suddenly care?”

It surprised me…usually she doesn’t get so angry. Am I too used to the soft Fany?

“I’m tired Taeyeon…just…forget about it” she said, ready to leave again.

Then it came out…”Are you tired because you went out with Sungmin?” I don’t know where it came from…I knew it was a stupid move.

Fany’s face was angrier than before. “How do you know I was with Sungmin oppa?” she walked to the living room.

“It doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t be out alone with a guy until so late! Where are your common sense?” It was harsh…but at this point, things couldn’t get worse.

“That is none of your business whether I go out with Sungmin or not” she said angrily.

I walked to her. “What?”

“There is nothing between you and me so I can date whoever I want. Why do you care?” she was looking right into my eyes…I couldn’t read her expression…it was between anger and sadness.

“You are…” I couldn’t finish my sentence…the words were stuck in my throat.

“Whatever” Fany turned around and walked to her room.

“Tiffany!” I quickly walked and grabbed her hand before she reached the door.

As she was struggling to get away from my grip, I accidently pushed her against the wall. She wanted to get away so I put both my hands on the wall, not letting her go.

This situation was probably too much for her, Fany’s eyes quickly turned red. “What do you want Taeyeon? What do you want from me?” it sounded so…desperate. What did I do?

“I don’t want you to…”

“What? You don’t want me to what?”

I don’t want you to see Sungmin…I don’t want you to see anyone else…

Being this close to Tiffany was disturbing…I was lost in her eyes. Last time that we were that close…we almost…

As my face got closer, Fany’s eyes slowly closed which brought butterflies to my stomach. I know what she was waiting for…I want it too but…I can’t…it will only get worse and I will only hurt her more.

I finally looked away and could only whisper those words to her “I’m sorry…” before leaving the apartment.

You’re an idiot Taeyeon…such an idiot…

Tiffany’s POV

I was angry at her…I was hurt…Why would she care about Sungmin and me when she has Sunye? Do you have feelings for me Taeyeon?

My back was against the wall and Taeyeon was right in front of me, so close…and I had nowhere to run to. We haven’t been this close since…

The look on Taeyeon’s face reminds me of that time…when we fell on my bed and were so close to kiss. She had the exact same expression. The only difference was…this time; I wasn’t the one closing the gap between us. Taeyeon was.

I was still hurt, confused and angry at her but this closeness made me forget everything. The only thing I want was a kiss from her. I naturally closed my eyes as Taeyeon’s lips got closer…I closed them and wait for that kiss…that kiss I wanted for so long…

But it didn’t come…all I got was a soft whisper…two words that hurt me more than a thousand knives.

“I’m sorry” my heart dropped when she said it out.

I could feel Taeyeon walking away even though my eyes were still closed. I could see her opening the front door and leaving…How can I lose so many times?

I leaned against the wall and felt the tears coming…how many times did I cry already?
