If I was so sleepy a while ago, now I couldn't sleep at all. I tossed and turned in my bed but it still won't make me sleep. Is it true? Taeyeon likes me. Wait, does she really like me? Or she just wanna get in my pants?
We just met yesterday. And I find it impossible for her to like me this instant considering her reputation. Cold, womanizer. Hmmm... Suspicious.
I didn't know when did I fell asleep but when I woke up, my head is aching so bad. I feel so sleepy. I turn off the alarm clock and reached for my phone to see if Siwon sent me a text message only to be disappointed for receiving nothing.
He is acting really really strange. I knew that he's acting strange from the past week but he's acting too much strange now since yesterday. What is happening, really?
With half eyes closed, I decided to call CL. She's my friend in Seoul. People likes to see us together 'cause we're both badass. Unknown to them, CL and I are friends but there's something in between us. Like an invisible line. Still, she's a friend who I'm always with. I party a lot with her and she knew almost everything about me and I know almost everything about her.
I was trying to call her to ask her if she saw Siwon. But unfortunately, she didn't pick up. Well, who would pick up a call at 5 am? I'm so dumb. I'll just ring her up again later this afternoon if I won't receive any text message from Siwon.
I sighed. Everything's stressing me out. Siwon is acting strange, Taeyeon said she likes me. Speaking of that cold person, I look over on her bed but she's not there. How can she wake up so early?
I throw the covers as I stood up and do a little stretching. I'll eat the instant ramen noodles for breakfast. I think I still have some pieces of macaroons too. Oh shoot! I forgot to buy a coffee. Geezz! I guess I'll have to stop by at the convenient store again.
I open the door of our room and it was like a dejavu from yesterday. The kitchen lights is blinding and the sound of someone cooking at the kitchen is very audible. And there she is, Taeyeon back facing me as she cook for breakfast.
I guess she sensed that I'm standing there again. So she turn around to face me. The same thing happened yesterday. The only difference is that, she's not glaring at me now. While yesterday, she glared at me like as if I'm the reason of her anger in this world.
"You're awake." She stated the obvious. Her voice is calm. It's not the same from yesterday that sent chills down my spine.
"You're early again." I said.
"I always am. Take a seat. Breakfast should be ready soon." She said without looking at me. I raised an eyebrow.
"You didn't put poison on my food, right?" I'm serious. She's frightening. She was so cold yesterday and now she's acting so kind to me? I'm sorry but it's really hard to believe that.
"No. I'm not a murderer." She said in gritted teeth. Uh-oh! Okay, I think I might have pissed her off.
"I'm sorry. I was just really stressed since yesterday." I apologized sincerely. I don't wanna hurt her. I'm afraid she'll hurt me double.
She didn't say anything but I saw her nod her head. Uhh... Is she okay? I made a mental note not to mention anything about murder and kidnap cases again. I still wanna live longer. I'm afraid she'll straddle me to death if I mention that again.
I sat at the kitchen stool. I know I swore yesterday that I won't accept anything from her anymore but I feel so bad from what I said. I think I really hurt her. So as a sign of apology, I'll eat the breakfast she made. It smells so good though. It makes my tummy grumble. Like as if its telling me to stop acting hard to get and just shove the food in my mouth.
Technically, she feed me breakfast for two days now. Yesterday and today. I don't wanna be in debt to her. I don't wanna owe her a lot. So maybe I'll cook something for her tomorrow morning. I'll try to wake up earlier than her.
She placed an empty plate in front of me. That woke me up from my trance. I should help her. I stood up.
"Sit." She ordered even before I take a step forward.
"But... I just wanna help."
"And I don't. So you better sit still." She said in full authority. Damn! How can she do that? Everytime she uses that tone, you will find yourself no choice but to obey anything she says.
"Why not? Come on, Taeyeon." I decided to be stubborn. I don't want her to think that she can command me anything. I'm not like the other girls around her. I'm different.
"I wanna serve you. My highness shall not touch anything regarding household chores." She said with a smirk. Okay, that's not what I expected she'll say. I was completely taken a back! I'm standing like a fool in front of the kitchen stool. And I can see the smirk on her lips never left.
Until she placed the foods in front of us, I was still standing in awe. "Hey, sit down. Relax." She said and her voice is almost soothing me. Quickly, I obeyed. What the hell? What's happening with me?
She placed two pieces of perfectly round pancakes on top of my empty plate. Then she proceed on putting syrup. After that, she left to get something. When she came back, I saw her carefully carrying two cups of coffee.
"There you go. Now, we can eat." She once again smirked.
What is this? Why is she so hands on? I mean, again, she was just too cold yesterday. And now she's acting like as if we're long lost friends? I don't understand. What is her motive?
"Don't you like pancakes?" She tilted her head. I saw her eyes showed a little disappointment, and somehow, I don't wanna see that from her.
So, quickly, I pick up my knife and fork. I cut a bite size of her pancake as I shoved it in my mouth. And yeah, it's delicious. It's fluffy, soft, and fucking delicious!
It was so good that I didn't even realized I'm nodding my head while chewing the food. I only realized when I saw a small smile on her face. I stopped what I'm doing.
"You look good like that." I said that I almost quickly slapped my mouth. I shouldn't have said that. I thought I just said it my mind. Haist.
"Huh?" She raised her eyebrows, confused.
"Smiling." I hesitantly said. "You look good when you're smiling." Now, I'm shy. I feel like I wanna slap my own face. I know you felt bad for saying such thing a while ago but you're being too friendly now, Tiffany. Haist!
"If I look so good then I should smile more often in front of you." She said with a smile. This time, her smile is very charming. Oh my gosh! She's so pretty!
"So... Wanna grab your lunch with me later?" She asked hopefully.
"Taeyeon, we were just halfway eating breakfast and you're already talking about lunch?" I raised my eyebrow on her.
"Why not? Bora will just drown my voice considering her volume."
"Why won't you eat with us then?"
"Not a chance."
"And why not?" I crossed my arms on my chest.
"I wanna be alone with you." She said seriously but I shrugged it off.
"They are your friends right?" She stared at me intently. I saw how her eyes told me that she don't wanna talk about it. So I give in.
"Sorry." I apologized.
"Apologies aren't accepted until you eat lunch with me today." She said, challenging me.
"Tsss. Fine!" I rolled my eyes. She's very annoying.
"You go shower now. I'll just wash the dishes." She said after I ate the last piece on my plate. I raised an eyebrow.
"No. You already cooked these. Let me at least wash the dishes." That makes sense right? She can't just do everything on her own. She should let me do the others too.
"Nope. You go to shower now."
"No. You."
"Fine. Let's wash the dishes together." She give in. I grin in victory.
"Then let's shower together after." She smirked that totally wash off my grin. My eyes widened. I didn't expect her to say that!
"No way! I'll shower now." I said as I jump from my seat. I run to get my things and when I walk pass the kitchen, I saw her shaking her head with a ghost of smile on her face. She's really annoying.
Since I took a shower last night, I'll just wash my face and brush my teeth now. I'm clean anyways. And I smell good as always. After that, I wall out of the bathroom. My clothes are in our room. I forgot to take them.
"Done already?" She raised an eyebrow. She's still washing the dishes by the way.
"Yeah, I'll just wear my clothes." I immediately get inside our room as I locked the door. I'll be changing clothes here. I'll be fast.
I was in the middle of wearing clothes when I saw a phone light up. I thought it was mine 'cause it's in the nightstand. When I look over, I saw an incoming call. The caller's id is... Jessica. Is she the same Jessica they're fighting about? And why the hell is she calling Taeyeon?
I heard a knock on the door. "Tiffany? Are you done?" I immediately finished wearing clothes before opening the door for her. I saw her glare at me. Why is she glaring now? Then her phone ring up again. I step aside to let her in. She pick up her phone. Her jaw clenched when she saw the caller's id. Again, she glared at me before walking out of the room. Then I saw her answer the phone at the balcony.
Okay, what just happened? One second she's caring and sweet then the next after she's cold and glaring. Who is Jessica anyways? I think I should ask the girls later. Oh shoot! I have lunch with Taeyeon later. Ah! I'll just eat dinner with them then.
One thing's for sure though. Jessica is someone who is important to Taeyeon. Judging by the way she glared at me, it's safe to say that she don't want me to know something about them. Well, I'll surely figure it out soon.
I went to the university alone. When I left the apartment, Taeyeon is still at the balcony. Although I'm not sure if she's still talking to Jessica, I decided to not disturb her.
When I went inside the classroom, I already saw Sunny's group talking to each other. When they saw me, they smiled and greet me a good morning.
"I was just wondering if you'll be busy this evening." I asked as I settled down.
"Not really. Why though?" It was Bora who answered.
"I just wanna eat dinner with you." I smiled sheepishly.
"Oh sure!"
"Come over in our apartment at 6 pm. I'll be cooking." Sunny said. I think she's in a very good mood today.
"I'll take you on that." I chuckled.
"Great! You have to be in our apartment on time though. I'm afraid Sooyoung will finish all of your foods." She teased receiving a protest from the tall lady.
"Yah! I'm not a pig, okay? Besides, Yoona eat a lot too! Why do you always pick on me?" Sooyoung glared at her.
"Well, Yoona's our maknae. And she's pretty decent than you." Sunny shrugged.
"You meanie midget!"
"What did you say!?"
And yep, the bickering starts there again. Me, Bora and Yoona are just laughing at them. Seriously these two. There isn't a day that they won't bicker around each other. They're like cats and dogs. Very cute, in my opinion.
Taeyeon walked in just the right time before our class starts. She didn't say anything though. But she did sat beside me again. She didn't even spare me a glance. I sighed.
Our two classes pass by very fast and now it's already lunch time. I gathered my things and I saw Taeyeon is doing the same thing.
"Lunch, Tiffany?" Bora smiled.
"I'm sorry. I'll be having lunch with someone today." I politely rejected.
"Sure. That's fine. We'll see you at the apartment tonight then." I nod at her with an apologetic smile.
"Let's go." Taeyeon said coldly. Geezz! Why is she cold again? Is she mad that I saw Jessica calling her phone? That's not my fault at all. It's unfair. And she's confusing me a lot with her mood swings.
Nonetheless, I trailed behind her. I saw the girls look at me curiously but I just mouthed 'later' to them. Sunny just nod her head showing she understood. Yoona and Bora are just confused. However, Sooyoung gave me an unpleasant look. She doesn't look pleased at all.
"You're not my bodyguard, Tiffany. Walk beside me." I heard Taeyeon say. I complied as I quicken my steps to catch up on her.
"How was the steak yesterday?"
"It's really good! That's like, the best steak I've ever had in my entire life!"
"We'll eat there today. But I'd like you to try their baby back ribs." She said with a smile. She's so cute. Her chin dimple is attractive as fuck.
"Do I look good?" She slightly raised her eyebrows while still smiling at me.
I look away, feeling embarrassed. You definitely look good, Taeyeon. But I can't say that out loud. I'm afraid you won't stop smiling at me. It'll be the death of me.
