Taeyeon groaned when she felt that she knocked over something, "Screw this crap."
Stumbling to her own room, she heaved a sigh when her head laid on the soft pillow.
Yesterday, it was raining heavily and she also forgot to bring her umbrella when she arrived at her apartment. Unfortunately for her too, Tiffany was not in the office so she thought the rain would stop when she went home but turned out it became heavier.
Reluctantly, she ran from her parking place all the way to the lobby. At first, she did not feel any sickness but after she took her bath, she suddenly had a headache. She skipped her dinner because of that plus, she also did not have any medicine in the house since it was still new, so she just went to bed with her throbbing head.
When she awoke this morning, her head was still aching and it was also Wednesday, which also means she had work. Groaning while getting up from the bed with her blurry eyes, she scanned for her handbag in the room. When she found it, she slowly walked towards the said object then took out her phone. There were a few messages and missed calls from Tiffany but her head was aching too much to check one by one so she just sent a message to Bora, saying that she was sick and that's it.
She threw the object somewhere then threw her body on the bed again while massaging her head to ease the pain. But soon after, she woke up again when she felt like she wanted to pee. She went back to sleep after that.
***
"What?!" Tiffany's voice echoed through the floor. Everyone was startled by the sudden blow.
"Yes, Miss Hwang. She sent me a text that she's sick. Here," Bora showed her phone to her employer.
From: Taeyeon
I'm sick
Tiffany frowned. Why didn't Taeyeon tell her about it? Taeyeon didn't even bother to answer nor reply her calls and texts.
"Cancel everything on my schedule today," Tiffany sternly said. She grabbed her bag then dashed out the office, leaving Bora in stunned, "Okay, Miss Hwang," in a small voice.
***
Tiffany grabbed all the bags on the backseat of her car that filled with medicine, some food, and drinks.
She stumbled when she reached the keys on her bag. She placed the plastic bags on the floor then slowly unlocked the door. She took back the plastic bags on the floor then entered the house.
She sighed in exasperation when she saw the sofa somehow not in the place and also the table. The messy table. Plus, the dishes in the sink.
She placed the things that she bought on the kitchen counter then walked to one of the bedrooms, the one on the right side, where the person she was looking for probably in.
Opening the door slowly, she sighed (again). Taeyeon was sleeping with knitting eyebrows. She walked to the sleeping figure then fixed her position to a proper one. She also fixed the blanket till her lower body was covered. She also discovered that the air-cond did not turn on because Taeyeon was sleeping in sweats.
Once she was done, she went to the kitchen and prepared for her girlfriend's lunch.

"Tae. Tae, wake up."
Taeyeon squinted her eyes when she heard someone called and also shook her body lightly.
"T-Tiffany?" her voice betrayed her. She coughed. Her throat felt very thirsty. Thankfully, Tiffany understood and gave her a glass of water right away. She thanked her girlfriend.
"What are you doing here?" She asked while slowly sitting up, still holding her head.
Tiffany ignored her question and fed her a spoon of porridge-- she took a glance at the bowl.
She opened her mouth in a forceful way since her girlfriend gave her the stern look when she did not want to. Though she felt really hungry, she did not have any appetite to eat but Tiffany kept on feeding her so she had no reason to object.
"What are you doing here?" She asked again when she had finished a whole bowl of porridge. She was the one who had eaten the big portion of it, and boy, she was amazed of herself too.
"My girlfriend is sick so why shouldn't I?"
She could feel the annoyed tone of Tiffany upon the question. Slowly, her hands tucked Tiffany's white blouse-- her working attire.
"Sorry," she trailed off. "I was having a headache so I couldn't reply," she softly said.
Tiffany's look softened. No one could resist it when Taeyeon was being such a mushy puppy like that. She headed back to the bed, and placed a kiss on Taeyeon's forehead, "I was so worried, you know."
Taeyeon's heart felt unconsciously warm when she received the kiss. Tiffany's kiss always made her better though it was not on the lips, it was still a kiss though.
Soon after, she felt her throbbing head struck again. Just like a reflex, she quickly held her head and groaned, did not realize that Tiffany was actually in front of her. She laid her back down.
"You should just rest, Tae," she heard Tiffany said.
She closed her eyes when she felt Tiffany's diligently working on her head, massaging it very gently. More gentle than her own mother, she concluded.
Soon after, her eyelids felt heavy and dozed off.
***
Tiffany tucked Taeyeon into the bed carefully then laid beside the sleeping woman. She continued on massaging the woman's head and smiled when she noticed Taeyeon's frown already gone.
When she was done massaging Taeyeon's head, she also closed her eyes slowly, feeling the sleepiness hits her since she did not have enough sleep last night. Last night's meeting ended really late.
She ended up sleeping next to Taeyeon, with their hands, clasping each other.
***
Tiffany was awoken when she felt Taeyeon stirred.
She opened her eyes, groggily then quickly grabbed Taeyeon's wrist, "Where are you going?"
"Just sleep. I'm okay now," Taeyeon patted her head softly. She just hummed then closed her eyes slowly.
Taeyeon jumped out of the bed then stretched her body. Wow, it was hella a bad one. Thankfully, it was not a cold and just a mere headache or else, she might go to the hospital because her cold was not something she could take it as easy peasy. She did not know why, but the doctor told her so too.
She took the empty bowl and also the empty glass that she had eaten and drank a few hours ago on the table and brought them to the kitchen.
When she saw how cleaned the kitchen was, she frowned. She was certainly sure that her kitchen was messy yesterday. Then, she shrugged, probably Tiffany.
She checked her fridge and took out the things she needed and placed them on the counter.
Today, she's going to make dinner for Tiffany and her.
Chef Taeyeon on the show!
***
When she was satisfied with the meals on the table, she nodded to herself then woke Tiffany up from her nap. It had been 3 hours since she woke up and handling the kitchen.
She made nothing special though, western food on the menu because Tiffany loved western food very much. Lasagna, spaghetti, carbonara, you named it, because chef Taeyeon studied a little bit when she was still working at Sooyoung's restaurant.
"Fany, wake up," she poked Tiffany's cheek.
Tiffany slapped her finger away.
She knew Tiffany really hated it when people poked her cheeks because "My cheeks are fat." She once said but Taeyeon couldn't care less. Fat or not, she still loved Tiffany.
She poked again twice, "Wake up, sleeping beauty. Or should I kiss you instead?" She leaned in but Tiffany was still not awake. When she was about to bite the sleeping woman's upper lip, her face was pushed away with a finger on her forehead.
"Dream on, pervert," Tiffany murmured then rolled her body on the other side, her back was facing Taeyeon.
As she was about to sleep again, she felt the other side of the bed dipped in, and felt the cold hands on her stomach.
"I love it when you're wearing your working attire. It's sexy," Taeyeon whispered, her voice sounded husky.
Tiffany ignored her and believe it or not, for the second time of the day, her sleepiness won again.
Seemed like Taeyeon was going to eat her dinner alone and kept the leftover in the fridge and warm it up later on. She sighed.
