-
Lunch Break.
Taeyeon, Tiffany and Yuri were eating in the canteen. Taeyeon looked bothered with what Nickhun said to her. The blonde was just playing her food and was just staring at nowhere. Tiffany and Yuri noticed it as they looked at each other.
Tiffany put down her chopsticks on the side of the bowl of her rice and she rested her hands on the table "Tae, is there something that bothers you?"
Taeyeon looked blankly at Tiffany.
"Midget, what is it? Are you alright?" Yuri asked.
Taeyeon snapped back to reality "Ah, y-yes. Don't worry. It's just work stuffs," she lied.
"Don't stress yourself midget," Yuri said as he twisted the wedding ring on his finger "Don't think too much, everything will be okay."
Well Yuri just said the right note for her! "I hope everything will be okay but I feel that something bad will happen," Taeyeon thought.
"Anyway, Nickhun asked me to go on a dinner and I accepted it. He said, he wants to apologize to Taeyeon. Yuri you should go with us because Jessica is coming too," Tiffany stated.
Taeyeon stiffened, she knows that Nickhun has his evil plan that's why he invited them on dinner. Taeyeon eyed Yuri as she signaled the tan that there's something suspicious.
"So... 8pm?" Tiffany asked with her wide smile. "You too Yul, see you later huh?"
The two nodded, Taeyeon was feeling unease and troubled as she fidgeted her feet.
Tiffany rose from her seat "Excuse me, I will just go to the comfort room," she smiled as she made her way to the comfort room.
Yuri moved his chair and he leaned closer to the blonde "What's wrong? I smell something fishy with this dinner huh.."
Taeyeon lazily leaned back in her chair "I know, Nick said that he will reveal the truth. Do you think he knows something?"
Yuri shook his head "That dumb! He has only air inside his head and how will he knows? Unless... we said it to him right?"
Taeyeon barely nodded.
"Cheer up midget, don't mind that asshole and I'm there to back you up!" Yuri cheekily said.
"I don't want him to ruin my plans but yeah, there's no way he will know the truth," Taeyeon smiled "Let's see what he will do later."
-
In Tiffany's office, Taeyeon hugged Tiffany from behind and rested her chin on the girl's shoulder. Tiffany held Taeyeon's arms as she rubbed it gently.
"Hmm... it feels so good Tae," Tiffany said as she rubbed her cheek to Taeyeon's while her eyes shut.
Taeyeon hugged her tightly, Tiffany could sense that Taeyeon was kinda unease.
"Are you worried about the dinner later?" Tiffany asked as she opened her eyes.
"....."
Tiffany whirled around and faced Taeyeon, she was holding both of Taeyeon's cheeks and staring at the blonde's eyes. She could see the tension and uneasiness through Taeyeon's eyes as the blonde can't look back at her.
"Well don't worry Tae, Nickhun will just apologize and if he will do something crazy later. I promise he cannot separate us apart. No one or there's nothing can separate us, I will not let that happen," Tiffany reassured her.
Taeyeon exhaled and bored her eyes at Tiffany "I don't want to lose you Tiffany but it's up to you if you will gonna leave me."
"What? Of course it will not just depend on me. Both of us Tae. We need to work this together," Tiffany clarified. "Don't worry now okay?" She pressed her lips on Taeyeon's forehead "I love you and that all matters."
Taeyeon gave a half smile and lowered her head.
Tiffany lifted the blonde's chin with her index finger and kissed Taeyeon, passionately, slowly, just simple lip-locking and without lust, just with her whole heart. Taeyeon smiled with the kiss and her worries disappeared.
This is how Tiffany affects her mood and thinking, with just a kiss, she feels everything will be fine. She believes in Tiffany's words and she was confident that Tiffany will accept her when she tell her the truth.
Tiffany reluctantly broke the kiss and rested her forehead on Taeyeon's "You don't know how much you mean to me Tae, you're my everything now. I will accept you with all your flaws. Please... Just promise me that you will never leave me and just stay with me forever."
"You don't have to please me Pani, I'm so willing to stay with you as long as I can. You completed me, you healed me therefore I want to make you happy," Taeyeon said with her teary eyes.
"You already made me happy... just being here with me makes me happy, just seeing you and knowing that you're alright... makes me happy," Tiffany softly said.
"If something happen this night, I hope we'll be still together," Taeyeon pleaded as she wrapped her arms around Tiffany's waist.
"Of course, we will be still together," Tiffany confirmed as she kissed Taeyeon on lips, just simple and plain.
But Taeyeon started to make it passionate, they tilted their heads to deepen the kiss. Taeyeon kissed Tiffany like there's no tomorrow for them, she balled her fists and squeezed it hard. Her nails were probably marking her palms that placed at the back of Tiffany, the latter put her arms around Taeyeon's neck pulling the girl much closer. Tiffany wanted Taeyeon to feel her love so that Taeyeon's doubts, uncertainties and confusion will be vanished.
Indeed, it worked.

The most awaited night.
Taeyeon and Yuri were inside the blonde's car at the parking area of their company, Yuri was sitting on the passenger seat while Taeyeon on the driver's seat. Taeyeon was hesitating to go at the dinner, they were already late actually. Maybe Jessica and Tiffany were already with Nickhun at the designated restaurant.
"So what midget? It's almost an hour that we got here in your car. Are we gonna just stay here forever?" Yuri sarcastically said.
"....."
"Aren't you gonna face that asshole? Don't be scared!"
Taeyeon's phone was in her hand, it keeps vibrating because Tiffany was calling her but she didn't answer it.
"Ya, Tiffany is calling you for the nth time! Pick it up! Jessica will be mad at us!" Yuri scolded the blonde.
"I'm not scared of him, I'm just feeling bad about something that I don't know," Taeyeon firmly said.
"Come on Taeyeon, let's go there. Don't think too much!" Yuri exclaimed as he raked his fingers through his hair.
"Okay..." Taeyeon began tapping her phone with her thumbs, she texted Tiffany.
To: Pani ♥
Sorry I'm driving, we'll be there at 20. I love you.
Sent, 8:42 pm
Taeyeon started the engine of the car, her phone vibrated. She got a message.
From: Pani ♥
Ok boo, drive safe. I'll be waiting, I love u more. Xoxo
Received, 8:43 pm
Taeyeon smiled at the message, there's nothing to be scared at all. She sighed heavily to release her stress "Fine, let's go Yul."
"Yeah! That's my midget! Come on! Let's go there!" Yuri said as he encouraged Taeyeon as he pumped a fist "I will beat that dumb head for ya!"
They laughed together. Taeyeon's phone vibrated again, she got a message. The moment she opened the message and read it. Terror crossed her face and she trembled.
Yuri held Taeyeon's shoulder and suddenly Taeyeon dropped her fone on the side of her seat, Yuri took the phone and read the message.
From: Unknown number
Hey Kim, it's Nickhun.
You're not gonna make it here? Well I'll tell Tiffany the truth. You can't stop me now to tell her that you and Taehyung back to our college are just one. I know it, I heard it straight from your mouth in the coffee shop. If you can't tell her, I will do it for you.
Thank you.
Received, 8:47 pm
"Shit! He's really fucking annoying!" Yuri shouted in frustration while smacking the dashboard few times "If I see him, I will punch him that hard! Come on Tae, move!"
Taeyeon's mouth set in a hard line before she let out a harsh breath "This is it Yul, I need to face them."
"I got your back midget, don't worry," Yuri guaranteed Taeyeon.
Taeyeon merely nodded her head slightly then she stiffened to prepare herself to drive.
-
Taeyeon and Yuri arrived at the restaurant, in front of it they saw Jessica, Tiffany and Nickhun. Taeyeon's eyes widened when she saw Tiffany was deadpanned while Jessica looked angry. Did Nickhun say the truth already? How Taeyeon will face Tiffany now? Is Tiffany angry? So many questions were running in Taeyeon's mind.
"I think that bastard spilled it out" Yuri hissed in annoyance "Let's go out Taeng."
The two went out of the car and drew nearer to the three, the latters looked at them intently as Tiffany straightened her back and Jessica glared at Taeyeon.
"Ohh I thought you will never show yourself here Taeyeon... Or let's say Taehyung? I already told her everything," Nickhun cockily said while he smirked.
"Shut up Nick! You know nothing!" Yuri growled as he walked closer to Nickhun and punched him hard.
Nickhun fell his butt on the ground, he groaned but after awhile he laughed "I told you Tiffany, I'm telling the truth. The Taehyung you know was now in front of you. She's not a guy, eversince, she's just Taeyeon. She fooled us and I need to report this in school. She needs to be punished," he threatened.
And for that Nickhun received a kick from Yuri on his hip, he groaned louder with the pain as the tan hit him hard.
"No one will believe you, just leave Taeyeon alone!" Yuri yelled.
"So it's true... You know this Yuri?" Jessica shrieked.
Yuri didn't answer, he was guilty.
"Oh gosh, that's insane!" Jessica leaned closer and slapped Taeyeon on her face.
Taeyeon budged "I'm sorry," she hung her head down.
Tiffany inched forward to the blonde "Why? Why did you do that? Why did you pretend as Taehyung?" She calmly asked.
"It's my brother's dream, he wanted to graduate in Seoul International University with honors. I just fulfilled it," Taeyeon said as she pressed her lips together.
"What?? That's a crazy reason!" Jessica frowned.
"He received a letter from the University informing him that he passed the entrance exam and he got the scholarship. Fews days before the school start, he got his car accident. He became coma so I decided to help because that time I believe, he will wake up soon... But he didn't," Taeyeon's voice cracked.
Jessica's eyes softened, sadness clouded her features while Tiffany still has her straight face.
"I continued to study as him and I'm still hoping that he will wake up but when we're in Junior year, he... He died," Taeyeon's tears streamed down to her face.
Jessica covered her mouth with her hand and Tiffany was fighting back her tears. Nickhun was kinda guilty with his actions.
"Did you love me that time?" Tiffany sternly asked.
"Yes, of course I love you. My feelings for you was real back then. And I will always love you Pani..." Taeyeon quickly replied as she convinced Tiffany.
"Then why did you leave me? You could just say it to me! I almost die when you left me!" Tiffany angrily said.
"I'm sorry I'm scared that time. I don't want you to be mad at me-"
"Oh come on Taeyeon..." Tiffany interrupted "How could you? You just concluded that to happen! What if I accepted you? Gosh, that's why you're so familiar the first time I met you because it's you, you're Taehyung that I know! I thought I'm crazy to fall in love with you for that short period of time," she bitterly laughed. "It's just you all along!" She bursted her tears "It's just you..." She sobbed hard.
Jessica hugged Tiffany and rubbed her back. Nickhun stood up and dusted his pants.
"You will just hide this forever huh?" Jessica asked while hugging Tiffany tightly.
"No, I'm planning to tell her after our deal. I'm just preparing myself, I swear," Taeyeon reasoned out.
Tiffany stepped away from Jessica and she wiped her tears then she walked off. Taeyeon was following her but Nickhun blocked her.
"Just leave her alone Kim, I will take care of her. Maybe she don't want to talk to you or even see you now," Nickhun harshly said then he followed Tiffany.
Taeyeon continued to cry and sniffle as Yuri hugged her.
"Give her time Taeyeon, I know that she will forgive you," Yuri advised as he patted the blonde's shoulder.
"You two are crazy," Jessica said and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm sorry" Yuri mouthed to Jessica.
Jessica nodded and simply smiled, she's not really mad at Taeyeon because she knows that Taeyeon has no intention to deceive them. And she knows that Taeyeon as Taehyung was real, everything happened in college was real and her love for Tiffany was real.
Nickhun was running to chase Tiffany.
"Wait Tiffany!" Nickhun shouted.
"Leave me alone Nick..."
Tiffany walked even faster but Nickhun sped up and held her wrist to stop her "Wait..."
Tiffany quickly pulled her arms away "Don't touch me!"
"Are you mad at me? You supposed to be mad at Taeyeon! She fooled us!" Nickhun irritably said "This is all her fault! Now why are you mad at me? I don't understand!" He scoffed.
"Do you know why I can't love you Nick aside from my heart being occupied by Taeyeon?" Tiffany suddenly asked.
"....." Nickhun cocked his brow.
"It's because you're selfish! You just care about yourself! You know, you don't love me... you just love yourself. You don't care about others as well as my feelings! Why do you have to do this? Why can't you just let Taeyeon tell all those stuffs by herself? Is it really because you're concern to me? Or you did this because you want me and Taeyeon to break apart? It's for your own sake right? Huh?" Tiffany bombarded questions.
Nickhun felt a pang in his heart and he was ashamed about what happened because he knows that Taeyeon will tell those things to Tiffany just sooner or later but he bypassed her.
"I'm sorry Tiffany but she's not worthy for you," Nickhun mumbled.
"And you are? You are worthy for me? Taeyeon's right, you didn't grow up! I thought you're my friend but I think, I'm wrong. Please... if you can't respect my decisions, just stay away from me. And leave Taeyeon alone or I will never forgive you," Tiffany firmly said as she rushed away from the guy.
Nickhun pinched the bridge of his nose, he didn't anticipate Tiffany's response to it. Yes, he's really desperate for Tiffany's love but ironically the woman of his dreams was angry at him. Is that really bad if you want to fight for your love? Thus, was he really bad if he loves the woman that didn't love him back? How bad it was being in one sided love?
But sometimes, we must be aware of our limitations and know when to surrender a fight. We love them but it doesn't mean they must love us back, we don't force love, we can't. And when we love, don't expect anything in return. Just give. Well, it's great when you receive the same as you give but we have different ways on showing it right? Heheh... am I lecturing now? ☺

Taeyeon went home but Tiffany wasn't there and there's no sign that Tiffany went there. The blonde tried to phone Tiffany but it's out of coverage, yeah, Tiffany turned off her phone. Maybe she really wants to be alone. Jessica texted her that Tiffany wasn't in her house either.
Yuri said that don't worry too much because Tiffany is a big girl now, she knows what she's doing and they should give her time to think. Yuri has his point so Taeyeon listened to him and wait until tomorrow.
The following day, early in the morning they started to find Tiffany as they went to every place Tiffany would go but they didn't see the girl. The time passed just quick but they didn't find Tiffany, and her phone was still unreachable. Taeyeon began to worry about her, where would Tiffany go?
At the park, Taeyeon was sitting on a bench. Yuri walked near to her and sat beside her. He put his phone inside his pocket. Taeyeon seemed dejected and apprehensive.
"Jessica asked their friends but none of them know where Tiffany is. Tiffany didn't go home too," Yuri said as he rubbed the back of Taeyeon.
Taeyeon ducked "This is my fault, maybe she hates me... and she don't want to see me."
"....." Yuri frowned but he thinks that Tiffany was somewhat really mad at Taeyeon.
"I know this will happen... I just hoped for nothing! She will not accept me Yul!" Taeyeon's eyes flooded with tears.
Yuri wrapped his arms around Taeyeon to comfort her.
"If she don't want to see me anymore, I will just go back to New York Yul," Taeyeon kept sobbing.
Yuri pulled away to see the blonde's face "Ya! It's your solution?" He annoyingly smirked "Leaving is not the solution for this Taeyeon! You will just give up Tiffany huh? This is your fault you said so if you leave, you think that you can just escape from this? It's your responsibility, don't be a chicken midget! Don't do the same mistake that you did as Taehyung just because you're afraid and coward to face her!" He chided the blonde.
There's a minute of silence then Taeyeon wiped her tears, Yuri woke her up from her comfort zone, yeah... she's responsible to this and she promised this time that she will never leave Tiffany. She must be strong now and be patient for Tiffany, and not be impetuous.
"You're right Yul," Taeyeon said with her frail voice. "I will find her I promise," then she stood up.
"Do you have any idea where she is?"
"I don't know, I'm not really sure if she's there..." Taeyeon has her determination in her eyes.
Yuri stood up and he ruffled Taeyeon's hair "Good luck midget! Fight for your love!"
Taeyeon gave her sincerest smile to Yuri as her eyes were glittered with hope and courage.
-
Taeyeon went to her old apartment where she lived as Taehyung. While walking in the hallway towards her old unit, her heart was thumping as she can hear it with her ears. She has this strong feeling that Tiffany was there.
Taeyeon turned pale as the thought she was near at the main door of her old unit. How could she face Tiffany? How will she convince the girl? But what if Tiffany was mad at her? What will she say? A lot of questions battered in her mind but she was eager to see Tiffany because she wants to calm her worried heart and mind.
And she really missed the girl, definitely, she will hug Tiffany the first glimpse she see her. Taeyeon wanted to feel Tiffany's warm embrace to soothe her, she knows only Tiffany can give her peace.
Once Taeyeon reached her old unit, she stopped in front of the door and she took a deep breathe. Taeyeon held the door knob and twisted it, it was opened. She entered the apartment hoping to see Tiffany, she toured her eyes and memories with Tiffany as Taehyung flashed in her mind. She smiled a little with her thoughts in, they were really happy and so in love as she reminisced.
But eventually, Taeyeon explored around her old unit but Tiffany wasn't there, she was losing hope as she sat on the couch at the living room. She lowered her head and covered her face with her hands then she started crying because she commenced to feel weak and terrible.
"Where are you Pani ah? Do you really hate me that much huh?" Taeyeon just continued to cry out loud as her hope was fading out.
"Pani ah... should I give up now?" She murmured.
