When A Heart Dies

Pain
*knock* *knock*
"Yes"
The Door of an office opened and from there came in a short, extremely cute girl with
short boyish blonde hair wearing business attire of a white dress shirt that has the first
button open and a Black blazer and a pencil skirt.
"Taeyeonie, all that left is to sign a couple of documents and you're done for today"
The blonde smiled at Taeyeon who looked up at her.
"Really ? but it's still 7:30 though"
Taeyeon looked up at the time from his PC and she only nodded, walking closer to him
and sat on his desk.
"Yeah, you know we're almost finished with this last project we have been doing so
naturally the work is getting lighter, besides i think a certain mushroom is missing you
like crazy"
The Blonde winked at her boss making him smile at the mention of a certain
mushroom.
"Yeah...we haven't spent time together lately, aish !! it's all because of this goddamn
hotel"
Taeyeon muttered and the blonde only giggled.

"You're the one who wanted to build it !!"

Taeyeon glared at her.
"Sunny-ah, aren't you the one who suggested we build it ?"
Sunny glared back.
"And you liked the idea and immediately started it"
They had a battle of glares for a few more seconds and both broke into laughers.
Sunny Left The Documents on Taeyeon's desk as she got up.
"Just read through those and sign them, if there is anything you would like to change
just send it back to me"
Taeyeon nodded as he opened the documents and Sunny left his office.
30 minutes later Taeyeon was finally done for the day, he turned his office lights off and
locked the door.
Right next to his office is Sunny's Desk, she was so focused that she didn't notice
Taeyeon standing in front of her so he had to knock on her desk to get her attention.
She looked up at him and smiled as he gave her the documents.
"I liked everything about it except number 19 in Italy's branch"
Sunny opened the document and nodded after reading the notes Taeyeon wrote.
"Okay, i will do something about it"
Taeyeon smiled and bid goodbye to his secretary/cousin.
As Taeyeon walked through the corridors of his company he hummed and
unconsciously sped up his steps as he thought about his wife who's waiting for him.

He said goodbye to every employee that he passed by with a bright cute smile and a
cheerful tone that made the whole company spazz about how cute their boss was that
night and what in the heavens came over him.
Well he's always like that but tonight he seems cuter and happier.
When Taeyeon reached his car in the company's parking lot he took off his blazer and
got in taking out his phone from his pocket and proceeded to call Tiffany as he drove
away his company.
"Hmm Weird, She's not picking up"
Taeyeon said to him self as he looked at his iPhone screen and threw it on the
passenger seat.
Today Taeyeon is in a very good mood, he finally finished his work and the night is still
young so he thought to take his lovely wife out to a little romantic dinner.
But she wasn't answering her phone which was weird because Tiffany never misses a
call from Taeyeon.
Taeyeon let out a long sigh full of stress that have been building up for the past 5
months that Taeyeon had been working in none stop.
He losses his neck tie a little and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his dress shirt, he
actually can't wait to reach home to see his lovely wife Tiffany.
A wide smile crept on his face as he remembered his wife's eye smile that always
makes him smile.
He sped up a little bit not reaching the rode speed limit yet and looked at the street
lights that were lighting the high way just enough to see the rode.
He brushed his browning blonde hair that's on his forehead to the back but as silky as it
is, it came back on to his forehead more perfect than it was before
He opened his home's garage pressing the remote and parked his car inside, got out
than skipped to the elevator and pressed the 20th floor where his penthouse is located.
As the elevator doors closed Taeyeon looked at his watch smiling, it was still 9 PM, he
finally has time to see his wife, he put his hands in his pocket and hummed watching as
the elevator went up which made such a cute sight.

12 ^

14 ^
His heart started pounding with just the thought that Tiffany is up there waiting for him
and how surprised she will be when he comes in way earlier than usual.
18 ^
19 ^
20 ^ *Ding*
Finally The elevator door opened and there he was in his own penthouse that he lived in
with his Wife Tiffany, he skipped fast calling Tiffany's name.
"Fany-ah~!! i'm back"
Taeyeon stood still waiting for his wife to respond but was only faced with the echo of
his own voice.
"Fany-ah ? where are you ?"
Taeyeon looked right and left, up and down for Tiffany but there was no sight of the
Mushroom.
"She must be taking a nap"
Taeyeon giggled to himself imagining his cute wife taking a nap in their bedroom.
He Tip Toed to their bedroom silently not wanting to wake his mushroom up, when he
reached the bedroom he noticed that the door was slightly open and a faint voice could
be heard from it.
"Oh, she's awake"
Taeyeon smiled to himself as he peeked through the open space of the door to see
what his wife is doing.
The smile on his face slowly came down into an expressionless face than confused than
shocked and finally settled to a sad expression as he got away from the door and
leaned on the wall and slowly sled down until he is sitting on the floor still looking at the
door that is in front of him now.
How could this be ?
"Fany-ah *huff* *huff* I Love you"

Gasps and huffs could be heard from the room

"Khunie, ah ah *huff* I Love You Too"
As Taeyeon heard his own wife mutter those words to another man, he felt something
weird happening inside of his chest.
He slowly got up and stumbled as if he's drunk and made his way out of the Penthouse
with a rush of emotions coming through his heart like a train.
He went back to his car and drove away from the building as fast as his car could go.
Everything hazed.
All Taeyeon can see right now is a blurry mess because of the tears that are gathering
in his eyes but refusing to come out.
His face is expressionless at the moment.
Mouth slightly open.
Eyes open a little wider than usual.
"Khunie, ah ah *huff* I Love You Too"
As Taeyeon remembered what Tiffany muttered to that man on top of her, he blinked
twice as his tears finally came down his cheeks like a waterfall.
Everything he's feeling right now doesn't really make any sense, he's so sad that it feels
like his heart is about to rib into small pieces but he also feels anger taking over his
body as he clenched his teeth tight that it's a wonder how they didn't brake, he also
feels panic, disbelieve, betrayed, humiliated and everything in between.
His silent tears started turning not so silent anymore, he started wailing and sobbing
hard, the pain in his heart started getting bigger and bigger that he had to clench on his
shirt tight, he can no longer see the way in front of him.
Before he realized it he has drove to the beach where no one is there at this hour, he
sat on the sand in front of the raging ocean panting softly as his tears came to an end
for now.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG"
He let out a frustrated scream that he thought his throat is about to explode.
Tears started to fall again but this time harder than before the pain in his chest grew
harder and harder that Taeyeon had to look inside his shirt to check if it's bleeding or
not.

He isn't sure anymore why he's crying like that.

Is it because the love of his life is cheating on him or is it because of the pain that it
caused.
He finally laid on the sand sideways still looking at the raging ocean
"Why...?"
He muttered to himself painting hard with a red face and a hand clenched on his chest.
Am i not enough for her ?
Am i not good enough for her ?
Am i not manly enough for her ?
Is it because i'm short ?
Is it because i haven't been giving her enough time for a while ?
Does she not love me anymore ?
Why...?
After a couple of hours Taeyeon got up from the sand and walked to his car that was
lighting the place with it flash and started driving back to his home.
He recalled what he saw in his own bedroom.
The man who was laying on his wife.
...Who is he ?
Just the though of him makes Taeyeon's whole body burn in flames and anger.
He made up his mind.
When he gets back.
He's going to sit down and talk with Tiffany about what he saw and heard and gonna
hear her explanation and reason.
When he reached home he didn't know what kind of expression he should put on his
face.
But than he should just do what he's feeling.
*ding*

The Elevator door opened and finally he's walking in the middle of his penthouse
looking right and left for his wife.
"Ah, you're back"
Taeyeon looked at the kitchen door where Tiffany was standing there with a sweet, cute
eye smile.
"Welcome back"
She walked to him and placed both her arms on his shoulders leaning in for a kiss.
The kiss lasted only two second but Taeyeon didn't bother to move or close his eyes
and just stood there waiting for Tiffany to get away from him,
"What's wrong ? you don't look too good, did something happen at work ?"
Through what Taeyeon is feeling right now he couldn't help it but curve his lips into a
small smile at his wife's concern towards him.
"Come, let's talk"
He smiled a little at her and held her wrist leading her to the living room.
"Sit"
Tiffany did what he said and looked at him confused.
"You..."
Taeyeon started but as he looked at Tiffany's face he couldn't continue what he was
about to say.
At the moment there is a fight going on inside of him between Devil Taeyeon and Angel
Taeyeon.
"Just ask her about it !!" Devil Taeyeon said.
"Don't !! it will ruin everything you have build up in your relationship and marriage !!"
Angel Taeyeon said.
"Just ask her !! you want to know the truth right ?" Devil Taeyeon said back.
"Don't !! think about the times you went through with her !!" Angel Taeyeon said back.
"Ask her !! let her know how much she is hurting you and how much she humiliated you
!!" The Devil said.

"Don't let her know, it will ruin everything, just bare with it, she's gonna come back to
you eventually !!"
If He asks her, their whole Marriage is Over and Taeyeon is way too deep in love with
her to let that happen.
If He Doesn't, She might come back to him eventually and everything will be back to
normal again.
It's decided.
"TaeTae..."
As Taeyeon is lost in thought he didn't realize how much Tiffany have scooted over to
him until he felt her weight on his lap and her hands on both his cheeks.
"TaeTae, What's wrong ? why are you looking like that ? so...so heartbroken"
Tiffany looked deep into Taeyeon's blank eyes in worry.
"What's wrong ?"
She asked him again softly but when she realized that there will be no answer coming
from Taeyeon anytime soon she leaned in and kissed him.
He didn't respond.
He didn't close his eyes.
He didn't get into it.
But he didn't breath either letting Tiffany do what she wants.
At that moment Taeyeon felt like an empty doll with nothing to live for.
Tiffany Hwang is His life.
If there is no Tiffany Hwang that means there is no life.
There is Tiffany Hwang but at the same time there isn't.
He has her but he doesn't have her.
"Do you love me ?"
Suddenly Taeyeon muttered out of no where startling Tiffany who just broke the kiss.
"Why are you asking this so suddenly ? of course i love you TaeTae, if i don't i wouldn't
have married you, right ?"

Tiffany's words were sincere, Taeyeon knew that.

"Am i the only one for you ?"
Tiffany was taken a back by that question.
Why is Taeyeon asking her that now ?
"There is only you, no one else but you"
This time Tiffany's words weren't so sincere and Taeyeon realized it.
Liar
Taeyeon thought as he looked at Tiffany very deep in the eye as if he's reading
everything she's thinking.
I Can't let Taeyeon find out about my relationship with Nichkhun, he will be so hurt and
heartbroken, I Love him, i can't see him like that, but i also love Nichkhun who gives me
all the time in the world and loves every single thing about me.
At least now Taeyeon knows that Tiffany still loves him, not as much as before.
Now he has to share her with that other man but Taeyeon refuses that.
After all Tiffany is his and his alone, she's his wife, he doesn't have to share her with
anyone.
If she doesn't love him as much as before, he will just have to make her fall in love with
him all over again.
"I will be done soon with the current project i'm doing now, you now The Hotel i'm
building in Italy"
Taeyeon started curving his lips into a little smile and Tiffany nodded.
"When i'm done let's go to Italy on vacation, just the two of us"
Tiffany's eyes opened wide in surprise but than turned into the pretty shape that
Taeyeon loves so much.
"Really ?"
Tiffany asked excitedly and Taeyeon nodded gently giving Tiffany the most gentle smile
she has ever seen Taeyeon make which made her blush a little.
This is a new expression she has never seen Taeyeon make.
"God, i miss you so much"

Taeyeon said hugging Tiffany who's still on his lap and she hugged him back feeling
things that she has never felt for months because of him.
"I miss you more"
Tiffany said braking the hug and looking at Taeyeon's cute smiling face.
"Ugggh, why are you so adorable !?"
Tiffany said hugging Taeyeon again even tighter but before Taeyeon could hug her
back she broke the hug and squished Taeyeon's cheeks together pulling him in a deep
rough kiss.
The Kiss lasted for how long ?
Only god knows.
When Tiffany finally leaned back Taeyeon was still giving that Gentle smile but this time
his face was red and he was breathless.
"I'm tired..."
Taeyeon said softly and Tiffany thought of that bright idea.
"How about i carry you to bed ?"
Tiffany suggested smiling and Taeyeon looked a little surprise but than he smiled.
"Can i ?"
Tiffany repeated.
"I Don't know, can you ?"
He laughed a little and Tiffany took that as a yes and leaned her back in front of him.
"Come on"
Tiffany said and Taeyeon didn't hesitate to get on her back.
"Am i heavy ?"
Taeyeon asked as Tiffany got up easily.
"you're way too light for a guy, you need to start eating !!"
Tiffany scolded Taeyeon.
"Dae~"

Taeyeon responded cutely which mad Tiffany giggle as she placed Taeyeon on his side
of the bed but than realized that Taeyeon is still in his work suit.
"Let me strip you"
Tiffany smirked as she placed her hands on the buttons of Taeyeon's dress shirt but
was stopped by Taeyeon's hand on her wrist.
Tiffany stripping Taeyeon out of his Work clothes leads to Sex.
Taeyeon knew that.
Tiffany is wondering if Taeyeon got her hint or not.
"i'm tired Fany-ah, just let me sleep"
Tiffany is shocked, it's the first time in her life that Taeyeon has ever refused her
invitation.
He must be very exhausted to refuse her which he really is.
"Okay, sleep tight"
Tiffany leaned down to at least give Taeyeon a good night kiss as he looked at her
tiredly.
"Good night"
He said to her.
"Good night "
She replayed and got to her side of the bed.
After a little while Tiffany turned around just to be faced by Taeyeon broad back that is
covered by his white dress shirt and hugged him.
I'm sorry Taeyeon
Tiffany thought that in her heart unknown to her that Taeyeon had a painful expression
at the time with silent tears streaming out of his eyes wetting the pillow with his hand
clenching his shirt where his heart is located tightly.
It hurts so much...

Day Off

*Sniff* *Sniff*
The Next Day Was A Saturday and Unusually Tiffany is sniffing something delicious that
the smell woke her up.
Tiffany Usually tends to over sleep so she never has the chance to see Taeyeon in the
morning except for the weekend.
She looked beside her and there is no sight of her husband any where so she got out of
bed, scratched her head a little and went in the bathroom to freshen up.
After she was done and dressed she made her way to the kitchen where the delicious
smell is coming from and was surprised to find Taeyeon with an apron on blending
something in the blender and so she sneaked up behind him and put her chin on his
shoulder.
"What are you doing ?"
She asked with her husky voice whispering in to Taeyeon's ear which sent shivers down
his spine.
"Good Morning"
Taeyeon's lips curved into a little smile and greeted her ignoring her question as he
pored what he was blending in two glasses and placed them on the dining table after
getting out of Tiffany's hold.
"What is this ?"
Tiffany Asked taking a seat and watched Taeyeon's every move as he took off his
Apron.
"I made breakfast"

Taeyeon smiled a little as he placed the silverware and sat in front if her gesturing for
her to start eating.
"Yeah I can see that, how rare"
Tiffany said as she got a hold of her Silverware and scanned the table.
As always, every time Taeyeon cooks she could literally see the food glow.
Today is fancy American Style Breakfast.
Everything is cooked to perfection and looked so delicious Tiffany was about to droll.
The Taste of course was more than perfect because Kim Taeyeon made it of course.
Tiffany Can't remember the last time Taeyeon cooked for her.
And that's why she's savoring every little bit of it and smiled in bliss.
Taeyeon always knew what she likes to eat.
The Food she has always missed...
"Thank You TaeTae it's Very Delicious"
Tiffany flashed her eye smile to Taeyeon who in return flashed her his chin dimple as he
smiled back.
Tiffany couldn't help it but feel a little sad.
"It's been a while since we sat and ate breakfast together like this"
Tiffany said not looking at Taeyeon who also didn't look at her and continued eating.
"Yeah...I'm sorry..."
Tiffany chuckled still looking down.

"Why are you apologizing now, it's not your fault for being too busy"
"I really sincerely apologize for all the loneliness I had you bare for all this time, I'm sorry
Fany-ah"
Taeyeon finally looked at Tiffany and when Tiffany looked at Taeyeon's eyes she
smirked.
"You're forgiven on Three conditions"
Suddenly Taeyeon is on cold sweat.
"Whatever it is I will do it"
Taeyeon said confidently.
"Well first of all..."
Tiffany paused for a little as she put her index finger on her chin thinking and Taeyeon
gulped and nodded for her to continue.
"You have to promise to not leave me in the shadow for that long, ever again"
Tiffany said seriously and Taeyeon held her hand with both of his hands.
"I promise, what else ?"
And the Smirk Returns.
"As punishment for rejecting my invention last night..."
And now Taeyeon is standing on thin ice.
Tiffany Leaned in and whispered to his ear.
Taeyeon looked at her in disbelief, his face heating up by the second.

After Half a minute passed Taeyeon found his voice again.

"I...I promise..."
Tiffany giggled a little at Taeyeon's cute reaction and thought of what else she would
have Taeyeon do.
And the best idea of the day came across her mind.
"The third condition is...You have to accompany me on a date, we haven't been on a
date in like...2 months...?"
"Yeah..."
Taeyeon looked down in guilt.
"Okay than, let's go on a date today !!"
"Wha-What ? Today ? aren't you busy ?"
"It's Saturday Fany-ah~"
Tiffany Smiled.
"Okay than, when do we leave ?"
Taeyeon smiled.
"We leave after dessert"
10:23 AM
Mall

"So What do you think of this ?"

Tiffany smiled as she held on the hat she just put on.
"It's Nice, I think red suits you better though"
Taeyeon said as he showed her the red hat.
"Really ? red hair and a red hat ?"
"Yeah, you look pretty with red"
Taeyeon smiled and put on the pink hat Tiffany showed him earlier backwards.
"hahahaha, TaeTae you're so cute"
Taeyeon chuckled and bought both hats.
It was a weird switch since Tiffany is the one usually wearing pink but now she's
wearing red and Taeyeon is the one wearing pink but nevertheless they both look good.
"So we looked behind us and--"
Tiffany was telling Taeyeon what she witnessed with her best friend Jessica in a
restaurant the other day while she was in a dressing room trying on some clothes and
Taeyeon was leaning on the wall outside listening to her but she was interrupted by her
own phone.
"Um Taeyeon, could you get me those sweaters we picked earlier ? I wanna try them
on"
Tiffany said with a worried tone.
"...Sure"
Taeyeon immediately realized who is calling Tiffany at the moment when she requested
that from him

He didn't want to listen to it one bit

He considered himself lucky that Tiffany was considerate enough to send him away.
So he took his sweet time picking up the sweaters hoping that when he go's back
Tiffany would be done with her call.
But it seems like he wasn't lucky enough
Cause when he came back Tiffany was still on the phone.
"No Nick I can't meet you tonight, I'm with my husband right now"
Taeyeon leaned on the wall and shut his eyes tightly as he felt tears were about to drop
but he can't do that right now.
He clench his teeth hard and took a deep breath.
"Maybe on Monday cause he will be home tomorrow too...Yeah...Alright...I will call you
tomorrow"
Taeyeon cleared his throat before Speaking to make sure his voice wont crack.
"Tiffany ? I bought you the sweaters"
Taeyeon spoke and extended his arm with the sweaters through the curtains.
"Oh, okay Thanks"
Taeyeon waited outside the dressing room for a bit and his mind started drifting for a bit
I wish Monday never comes
He swallowed the lump in his throat, sighed tiredly and rubbed his eyes to look normal
when Tiffany comes out.

Taeyeon somehow managed to act normal for the next hour but Tiffany couldn't help it
but think there is something wrong with Taeyeon.
"This one is pretty"
Tiffany was holding a t-shirt across Taeyeon chest
When Taeyeon didn't say anything Tiffany looked at his face and noticed it
"Why do you seem so distant today ?"
Taeyeon's acting skills ticked in and he immediately smiled and giggled
"You're imagining things. more importantly does this suit me ?"
Tiffany smiled when she saw Taeyeon acting normally again.
"Let me get the pink one"
Taeyeon sighed for the nth time that day
It's really tiresome to have to act in front of the person you're supposed to be most
comfortable with
Especially in this kind of situation
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany who's searching for a nice pink tee for him
Again
"This is the one"
Tiffany said placing the new tee on Taeyeon's chest
More than half of his wardrobe is pink because of his wife
But he can't bring himself to say no to her when she looks at him like that

"It's nice"
Taeyeon muttered with a smile to convince Tiffany that he is pleased
"Alright !! go try these on"
Tiffany threw all the clothes she selected on him and pushed him inside the dressing
room
Taeyeon stood there for a second confused than chuckled and proceeded to take off his
shirt
He looked at the clothes Tiffany selected and sighed
He was about to pick up something but he heard the ringtone of Tiffany's phone again
He paused when he heard the sound fade a little and than Tiffany voice was there
"Hey, you miss me so much you're calling every minute now ? I see what you did there,
he he I miss you too"
Taeyeon clenched his teeth and looked at himself in the mirror with disgust
What is wrong with me ? What am I lacking so much ?
"No, he's in the dressing room"
He's asking about me
"What are you getting all conscious about ? ha ha ha, you know I would love to be with
you right now"
That moment Taeyeon felt his pride shatter to pieces again
You would prefer to be with him than me ?
"Yeah...Me too...See you Monday"

Taeyeon is unbelievably angry right now

He wants to get to that guy and murder him on the spot right this moment
Why do I have to bare with this shit ?
"Tiffany..."
Taeyeon called for his wife and it only took three seconds for Tiffany to stick her head
through the Curtin
"What, you're not dressed yet ?"
Tiffany looked at Shirtless Taeyeon who was smiling at her.
But there was something about that smile like...he's angry...furious even...
Taeyeon walked to Tiffany and got a hold of her cheeks which made her look at him
confused for a second but relaxed when he crashed his lips with hers and immediately
kissed back
We'll see who's better
The Husband
Or the Boyfriend

After their date in the mall they went to watch a movie and went back home after having
dinner
"So when will you be done with the project ?"
Tiffany who just sat on the comfortable couch asked Taeyeon who's standing next to the
table in front of her pouring some wine.
"Hmm, I don't know, the building and decorating progress is pretty much done, I guess
all that left is employment"
"Okay let me rephrase that, When do you think you will be done ?"
"As I said, I don't know, once we're done hiring the hotel will be ready to open so all I
have to do now is look for employees"
Now they're both sitting on the couch cuddling in their loving room with wine and a
comedy tv show that they're not even paying attention to
It was rare for Tiffany to ask Taeyeon about what he does at work, usually they don't
even have the time to sit and cuddle like this because of Taeyeon's work
As they silently pretend they're focusing on the TV Tiffany's phone buzzed as a text
message reached her phone.
When she opened it she lean away from Taeyeon so he won't see, assuming that he's
watching
The moment Tiffany leaned away Taeyeon realized that Tiffany is trying to not showing
him the text
It's Him again
Taeyeon knows it

This is the third time that day that he interrupts they're time together
Taeyeon swore that when he actually meet this guy he's going to break both his legs
and all of his fingers and do unmentioned gory stuff
Taeyeon unconsciously frowned and clenched his wine glass hard grabbing Tiffany's
attention
"What's wrong TaeTae ?"
Taeyeon immediately relaxed his expression and looked at Tiffany
"Huh ? no nothing, I was just thinking about work"
Tiffany looked at him for a second and smirked than leaned back to him
"TaeTae..."
Tiffany called him the sexiest voice she could pull off and traced her index finger in his
chest
"Don't you think it's time for you to keep your second promise ?"
Taeyeon immediately froze remembering what Tiffany made him promise that morning
"You know...I did buy it when you weren't looking..."
What other things did you do while I wasn't looking ?
"N-Now now Tiffany, d-don't you think we should wait for a bit longer ?"
Taeyeon tried to drag time a little bit more
"I don't see a reason to do that, it's almost mid night, unless you're...planing to brake
your promise ?"

Tiffany looked at Taeyeon almost with teary eyes which immediately made Taeyeon
regret what he said
"Are you perhaps...scared ?"
Tiffany smirked and cupped Taeyeon's cheeks and when Taeyeon looked away Tiffany
confirmed it that Taeyeon is really scared of what's they're going to do in a few minutes
"Don't be scared TaeTae *chuckle* I promise I will be gentle"
Tiffany sealed her promise with Kiss that lead them to the bedroom later.

"Oh my god..."
Taeyeon woke up first the next day
The pain in his body is unbearable that he had a hard time holding him self
together making his way to the bathroom
He immediately looked for pain killers in the cabinet and when he finally got out of the
bathroom Tiffany was also awake
"Morning..."
Taeyeon smiled a little and greeted her while covering his privets which made Tiffany
chuckle
"Morning, Struggling much ?"

"It's because of you !"

"Oh please, you enjoyed it !"
"Well *chuckle* maybe"
Taeyeon took a shower and Tiffany hopped in after him, they both took they're sweet
time getting dressed and eating breakfast Tiffany made because Taeyeon was in no
state to move.
After breakfast Taeyeon laid on the couch on his stomach to relax a bit and ease the
pain and Tiffany sat next to him and stroked his hair
"Why are you so cute ?"
Tiffany asked when Taeyeon raised up a little and looked at her with that face she fell
for years ago
"Ask my mom *chuckle*"
Taeyeon said before putting his head between his arms
"Fany-ah..."
Taeyeon called out not moving from his place and Tiffany just continued playing with his
hair
"Hm ?"
"My friend told me a story, do you wanna hear it ?"
Tiffany was a little taken a back by that not expecting a mid day story
"Sure why not ?"

"My friend doesn't treat his wife right you know, he doesn't spend time with her and
doesn't take her out, but he still love her very much"
Taeyeon paused a little feeling a lump in his throat
"And ?"
"And then he found out that she is cheating on him..."
"Oh...t-that's not good..."
Tiffany's voice trembled and suddenly she got nervous
"But you know, my friend is an idiot..."
Taeyeon raised his head and put his chin on his arms looking directly at Tiffany's eyes
"Why ?"
"He never confronted her and forgave her in his heart"
"Wow, he is an idiot, he must love her very much"
Taeyeon chuckled
"He loves her so much you have no idea"
Taeyeon smiled gently at Tiffany making her heart thumb at the sight
"Now he's waiting for her to come back to him, and struggling to with the pain of having
to share his own wife"
Tiffany stayed silent and looked at Taeyeon's eyes thinking
"You know Tae, I think that women still loves her husband very much too because she's
still with him, maybe her heart is wavering, maybe she's confused, or maybe she's just
looking for someone who treats her right"

"What would you do Tiffany ? If you were in place of that women"

Tiffany paused and thought about it, oh how similar it is to her position
"I would take my time to sort out my feelings...Either the husband I married because I
love or the Boyfriend I love because of my husband's lack of attention"
"I see...So you're saying the husband should wait ?"
Tiffany paused again...
Would she want Taeyeon to do that for her if he knew ?
"Yeah...he should wait if he really loves her and puts her above his pride..."
That Tiffany thought of that Bright idea (Sense it)
"What would you do Taeyeon, if you found out I was cheating on you ?"
Tiffany asked Taeyeon who just looked at her
"Me ?"
Taeyeon looked down at his arms thinking
"I would be so hurt I could die..."
That sentence was a bang to Tiffany's heart
"But I will wait...because I love you"
The look Taeyeon gave Tiffany at that moment was as if angels painted Taeyeon's face
Their friend said it before, and now Tiffany see's it too
Taeyeon looks like an angel
Right now it's not even a thought

It's a fact
Tiffany opened her mouth about to say something but Taeyeon's ring tone
interrupted her
Taeyeon looked at his phone screen and slowly got up baring with the pain
"Excuse me..."
Taeyeon said about to exit the living room but Tiffany's voice stopped him
"Who is it ?"
Taeyeon looked back and Showed her the screen
Lee Sunny
Was written across the screen
Taeyeon went to the bedroom and answered the after laying on his stomach on the bed
"Morning Bunny"
Taeyeon said smiling
"Morning Tae, got laid last night ?"
"Yah !!"
Taeyeon chuckled when he heard Sunny's giggle from the phone
"Anyways, there's a problem Taeyeon"
"What ? What happened ?"
"I checked with the system programing company and there seems to have been an
error with the schedule"

"What ?"
"But don't worry it won't get in our way to open the hotel"
"Then what's the problem ?"
"The problem is that they made a deal with a rival company to finish programming a
system for them the same time as us"
"And ?"
"And now it's either they get the program and we use our old system and wait for three
months for our's to finish or they wait for their's to finish and we get to open the hotel
with a brand new system"
"Oh no, why now ?!"
Taeyeon really wasn't in need for anymore problems especially in work
"Who's the rival company ?"
"Robin Heart Studios, they're a film producing company from 2006 and has 5 award
wining movies out of nine so far and their next movie is one of the most
anticipated movie's that will be released next year"
"Hmm, Impressive and where is it located ?"
"USA, Ohio"
"Okay, Book me the nearest trip there and a room and rent me a car''
"Alright, I will call you later"
"Bye"
Taeyeon's mind was swimming in thoughts for the whole day that day

This was definitely not a good time for work Problems

Not a good time at all

Temptation
Taeyeon woke up early
Too early actually
It's six in the morning and he's busy in front of their bedroom mirror fixing his suit
When he finally was satisfied with his look he walked to the bed and sat on Tiffany's
side who was still sleeping
He looked at her beautiful peaceful face with sadness and bitterness and patted her soft
hair
He went to their garden earlier and cut a few flowers and made a little bouquet of white
Callas in a blue contemporary glass cube vase and left her a romantic note next to the
bouquet
After a last look at her face her planted a kiss on her forehead and made his way out to
the airport
He spent those 14 hours in the plane thinking of way to pursued the Programing
company or maybe talk it out with the rival company's owner himself, he caught up a
little with his sleep and did some work on his laptop.
When he finally arrived to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport he made
his way out and his sight caught a man from the car renting was already there with a
banner with his name on it which made things easier for Taeyeon

He immediately drove to the hotel and settled down for the time being
It was almost midnight so he can't do anything right now
He already made an appointment with the rival company's owner tomorrow in the
afternoon
Thank god the owner was in a vacation and for some reason he agreed to meet him
Taeyeon picked up his phone and dialed Tiffany's number to inform her that He has
arrived to Ohio safely but it seems Tiffany is too busy right now because she's not
picking up
Taeyeon sighed
Today is Monday
Which means that she's with that guy right now
Just the thought of that man made Taeyeon so angry he was about to punch the table
so hard but he calmed down when his phone rang and the caller is Tiffany
"Hey Tae, sorry I didn't pick up earlier, did you arrive safely ?"
Tiffany asked cheerfully not even wait for Taeyeon to say hi
"Yeah, I'm in the hotel right now...what are you doing ?"
Taeyeon hesitated a little but he asked anyway
"Huh ? uh...I'm...watching a movie on TV"
Taeyeon immediately knew that Tiffany was lying by her tone and hesitation to answer
Right at that moment he heard shuffling in the background and a faint "Come here"
"You're alone ?"

Taeyeon asked
"...Yeah..."
Taeyeon chuckled
She's with him right now, it's confirmed
"I gotta go TaeTae, don't forget to Bring me souvenirs !!"
Taeyeon paused for a little
"I understand...Love you..."
He said softly almost in whisper and painfully as it started to hurt him to even say it
"Love you too"
The sound of the line being cut off could be heard and Taeyeon's tears couldn't get any
hotter as they fall softly on his cheeks
He took a deep breath and wiped the tears and stood up
Until when am I going to cry ? I have to be strong
At that moment Taeyeon made the decision of not crying on this anymore
Right now he's really tired and stressed out but wasn't in the mood for sleep so
he thought he would go down to the hotel bar and have a drink
He took off his blazer and was lift with only his dress shirt neatly tucked inside his pants
and his sleeves are slightly rolled up but his necktie was perfectly in it place.
He made his way to the bar hotel and ordered a drink
He's drinking right now to get his mind off things a little but seems like his heart has a
different idea when it's started aching at the thought of Tiffany

She's with him right now...

Taeyeon's eyes got teary on the edges
And he just only made it clear for him self that he isn't going to cry anymore about this
His thoughts were cut off when someone sat down right beside him
"What could possibly bring sadness to such a beauty like your self ?"
Taeyeon looked at the man beside him who just talked in English a bit surprised and
immediately wiped his eyes to erase any signs of unshed tears
"And who might you be to ask, stranger ?"
Taeyeon asked softly also in English with a smile not wanting to seem rude
The man just smiled at Taeyeon
"Won't you indulge this stranger on why such sadness is visible on you're magnificent
beauty ? it might make you feel better"
Taeyeon chuckled and looked down after getting a good look at this man
He was a handsome looking gentleman with blonde hair spiked up in a neat fashion and
beautiful light blue eyes
He had neatly trimmed physical hair and a sharp jaw line
His body was well build and his attire looked similar to Taeyeon's
He also looked like he's in his late 20's or early 30's
Over all the man was very fine
"Are perhaps...Korean ?"

Taeyeon looked up at the man who suddenly asked

"You are right"
Taeyeon smiled gently and took a sip of his drink
"Marvelous, I love Korea !"
The man grinned and Taeyeon just smiled at him
"But every time I try approaching people with a smile, they just run away"
The man said his smile going down
Taeyeon giggled softly and smiled apologetically at the man
"Yeah, Korean people aren't very good with foreigners"
"Even though I talk to them in Korean ? Oh, but old women are different. they're very
friendly"
Taeyeon giggled again
"You're that eager to speak Korean ? You are a weird guy"
The man chuckled and Taeyeon took another sip
"Watch out though, you might fall prey to a criminal"
Taeyeon smiled softly and the look the man gave him was way too charming that
Taeyeon got lost in his blue eyes for a moment
"Korean Culture is the romance of the orient"
The man paused a little and than continued
"Especially you beautiful stranger, I imagine you suit Korean clothes very well, it's ideal"

The man smiled at Taeyeon and to be honest Taeyeon was very charmed by him he
blushed a little
Taeyeon laughed softly and brushed the nape of his neck not daring to look at the man
"R-Really ? it doesn't suit me that much, but..."
Just at that moment Taeyeon just had to remember Tiffany and his smile instantly went
down
"You are sad again..."
The man muttered and Taeyeon looked at him again and smiled apologetically
"You're the only one who said anything like that to me."
"Really ?"
The man smiled again
"Even from my male perspective, you're very brave and masculine...and very attractive"
Everyone Taeyeon ever known only called him cute or adorable but never Brave and
Masculine
"Eh, Really ?"
"And you're silky hair stands out even more beautifully with this shirt, it shows the color
very well"
The man touched Taeyeon's dark brown hair that he dyed back to it's original color the
day before
The touch of the man's gentle hand sent shivers down Taeyeon's spine
"I can barely keep my eyes away"

The man said with a soft smile on his face

Taeyeon chuckled and smiled softly back at the man
"Your hair is so bright it hurts my eyes"
The man laughed not so loudly to not ruin the mood and Taeyeon just chuckled at him
"If you like my hair so much why don't you try dying it like this ?"
The man sighed in sadness
"You see I have tried it before but it doesn't suit me"
This time was Taeyeon's turn to laugh at the man
"Thank you for sparing some of your time to talk to this stranger, please don't hold back,
it's my treat"
Taeyeon signed at the man to keep drinking as much as he wants with a smile and the
man smiled back happily as he successfully managed to bring the pretty stranger's
mode up.
"All right !"
"What might be the name of the man I'm grateful for ?"
Taeyeon asked quietly sipping the drink in his hand
"I go by the name of Rob"
The man extended a hand to Taeyeon after also taking a sip.
Taeyeon got a firm grip of Rob's hand and shook it gently
"And what's the name of this beautiful man I'm having the pleasure talking to ?"

Rob asked with a smile and Taeyeon smiled back softly

"Taeyeon"
The man paused a little and looked at Taeyeon's face carefully
"Taeyeon...what a beautiful name...it suits you"
Taeyeon giggled softly and blushed as brushed his nape again.
After that Rob invited Taeyeon to his room to continue their chat in the balcony with the
beautiful view of the river in this late hour
"So this is your room Rob, it's pretty small"
Taeyeon said as he got inside Rob's room after they finished their drink out at the
balcony
He couldn't get a good look earlier because the lights were off but now Rob turned them
on
Indeed Rob's room was smaller than Taeyeon but was still fancy and beautiful
"Uh-huh. you really hold your alcohol well !"
Rob said as he loosened his necktie a little and ushered Taeyeon to sit on the bed
which Taeyeon did
"But I think you have had a little too much to drink, wait a moment please, I will pour you
some water"
Taeyeon let out a sigh as he also loosened his necktie and shirt and relaxed a little on
Rob's bed closing his eyes

Taeyeon didn't realize that Rob was looking at him from the table as he poured water in
a glass for him
At the moment Taeyeon is looking incredibly sexy, His face is a little red from drinking,
his hair is a little messy making him more and more sexy, a disheveled attire showing
Taeyeon's pure white neck and a bit of his chest, with a beautiful baby face like that,
Taeyeon is looking like a sin right now
Taeyeon is looking so sensual that Rob unconsciously blushed and didn't realize he
was pouring water on the floor instead of the glass
Taeyeon moved his head to the side a little accidently showing more of his chest line
and making Rob swallow his spit at the sight
Rob finally snapped out of it and shook his head a little and continued pouring water in
the glass
This man is married...I shouldn't...
Is what Rob was thinking at the moment but as he approached Taeyeon on the bed the
thought flied out the window
"Taeyeon, it's rather late. shouldn't you be getting back to your room ? You just arrived
here earlier didn't you ? You must be very tired"
Rob said with a low voice not wanting to disturb Taeyeon as he sat next to Taeyeon on
his bed.
Rob almost died at the sight of Taeyeon fluttering his eyes open only half lidded and As
Taeyeon leaned to his right where Rob was sitting to get the glass of water Rob was
offering their fingers accidently brushed making both of them pause at the touch

Taeyeon wasn't thinking straight right now and he only paused to get a good grip on the
glass not realizing what Rob is feeling right now
Taeyeon finally took the glass from Rob's hand and looked straight braking the weird
eye contact they were having and closed his eyes again than started drinking the water.
Rob could only stare at what he couldn't have as Taeyeon drank the water slowly and
making the harder for rob
How long and thick Taeyeon's eyelashes and how his Adam apple moved up and down
as he gulped the water, How Taeyeon's neck is covered with a thin layer of sweat
making his skin shine and how curvy is his chest line, his smooth looking pale skin that
begged to be touched and above all that sinful beauty mark on the side of Taeyeon's
chin
Rob has to admit
This beautiful man is the hardest temptation he has ever faced in his life
When Taeyeon finally finished the glass of water her placed it on the table next to them
and smiled at Rob
He was about to open his mouth but the hand that gripped his own stopped him
"Taeyeon..."
Rob was looking at him right in the eye looking all sexy and charming and the dim light
of the room wasn't helping at all especially that Taeyeon wasn't thinking straight at the
moment
"Taeyeon...let me comfort you..."
Rob said as he looked at Taeyeon feeling brave for a moment

"Let me take your pain and sadness away..."

Rob held Taeyeon hand tighter to make his point get through
"Just for tonight...Let me be your mate..."
Rob said with his sexy deep voice as he got closer to Taeyeon's face
Taeyeon's eyes traveled to Rob's red lips and Rob's eyes were on his pink once
Slowly getting closer to each other as Rob's other hand traveled to Taeyeon's waist
Just a little more...
Rob's heart was waiting in anticipation for this moment
But it never came
Taeyeon turned his face away and pushed Rob gently on the chest to make a little
space between them
Rob lowered his head a little at Taeyeon's rejection
"I'm sorry..."
Rob said softly and Taeyeon turned to him quickly and looked at Rob
"No Rob, I'm the one who's sorry...I might have made you get the wrong idea..."
"No Taeyeon, you're not the one who's supposed to be sorry, I'm the one who got
ahead of himself and thought that I could maybe--"
"Rob ! it's fine...I should...go back to my room now...it's getting late"
Taeyeon said as he stood up but stumbled not feeling steady because of the alcohol in
his system

Thank god Rob stood up in time to catch Taeyeon before he fall to the floor
"At least...Let me walk you to your room"
Taeyeon looked at Rob for a moment smiled softly at him
"Yeah..,I would like that"
The walk to Taeyeon's room was awkward but Rob couldn't stop his heart from beating
incredibly fast just being near Taeyeon but he was also sad that what he did might have
ruined a chance to friends with Taeyeon
When they finally reached Taeyeon's room they booth just stood awkwardly in front of
the door not daring to look at each other
"I'm really sorry Rob..."
Taeyeon finally broke the awkward silence and looked up at Rob who's way taller than
him
Rob looked sadly at Taeyeon
"If you weren't taken...would you have considered being with me ?"
Taeyeon was taken a back by the question but smiled gently at Rob who's now looking
away again
"Yes...I would be more than happy to be with someone as charming as you"
Taeyeon said standing on his tiptoes and planted a soft kiss on Rob's cheek
making Rob blush a little and smile finally looking at him
"Thank you Rob...really..."

Taeyeon extended his hand to Rob and Rob smiled softly and held Taeyeon's hand and
rubbed it gently with his thumb
"No...Thank you"
They stood up there for about a minute before Taeyeon retracted his hand and slipped
inside his room leaving Rob there with a smile
What a Beautiful Stranger
That was the last thought Rob had of Taeyeon before walking away with a smile
On the other side Taeyeon slumped tiredly on the bed after taking off his shirt and belt
Taeyeon has no regrets
It was the perfect chance to get back at Tiffany for what she's doing to him
But no
If Tiffany finds out about this she would so much hurt...Just like him
Taeyeon doesn't want her to express any of this horrible pain that's seeping through his
heart as if cutting it to million pieces
She's too precious
But he can't help but feel sorry for Rob
He seriously didn't mean to make Rob feel like that
But it seems he doesn't know what's he himself is capable of
Thanks to Rob, now Taeyeon think that he could pull him self together a little more
And just like that he fell in a deep sleep

The next morning Taeyeon thanked god that he wasn't that hang over because today is
an important day
He took a shower and freshened up
He made sure that he's looking proper and made his way down
He had a light breakfast that he couldn't finish and immediately set out to the
programing company
"Welcome sir, You must be Mr.Kim Taeyeon, we have been expecting you"
Taeyeon was immediately greeted at the front desk and led to the CEO room where he
met the troubled old man
"I'm really sorry about the mistake that happened"
As soon as Taeyeon met with him the man didn't stop apologizing and bowing and
wiping the swat off his forehead with a napkin To the point of making Taeyeon feel
ashamed of him self for causing a man as old as his dad to bow this much
"Please stand up, I'm not asking you to apologize, I'm here to look for a solution for this"
The man finally Stood up straight and sat back in his seat
"If by any chance you can sell the program for both companies..."

The old man started sweating more

"I'm afraid we can't do that, this system is exclusive, it's either you or the other company
who is the preferable one since they made the request for the program system
first...unless..."
"Unless what ?"
"Unless...you negotiate it out with them and come out with a solution...that would be
great..."
The man wiped his sweat again
Taeyeon had already seen that coming
The only solution is to talk this out
After the meeting was done Taeyeon went back to his car and sighed
Even though he saw it coming he felt stressful
He drove to his next meeting with the CEO
As Soon as he arrived to the company he was more than welcome there he got a little
suspicious about cause the employees were getting out of there way to make him
comfortable
When He finally sat alone in the meeting room he relaxed a bit but tensed up as the
meeting room door opened slowly and a familiar figure came in smiling.
"We meet again Taeyeon"
Taeyeon was really shocked at the revelation
"Rob ?"

The CEO/Owner of Robin Heart studios...Robin Heart himself...Is the same Rob he met
Last Night ?

Home
"So did you know who I was all along ?"
Taeyeon asked Rob who's sitting across him on the table before sipping on his coffee
"Actually yes, the moment you told me your name"
Rob smiled and also sipped from his coffee
Right now they're sitting in a cafe smiling at each other awkwardly
Taeyeon wanted to ask...
He wanted to ask Rob so bad if he knew that he was married yesterday when he made
a move or not
"I didn't know my rival leans that way though"
Taeyeon chuckled and Rob chuckled back
"But you don't right ? You're married to women"
Taeyeon paused for a second feeling the pain again but...he has to endure...
"Yes, I see you've read my profile"
Taeyeon smiled
"Taeyeon, I'm really sorry about last night, I knew you were married and I knew you
were straight yet I..."

Rob sighed and face palmed

He knew he's going to regret it and now he is
"And you were even kind enough to cheer me up after...my god I feel horrible"
"It's alright Rob *chuckle* I was seriously about what I said though, if I wasn't straight I
wouldn't have rejected you"
Rob chuckled
"Well that's very kind of you Mr.Kim, your wife is a very lucky women to someone as
loyal and faithful as you"
Taeyeon didn't answer and just looked down
Rob inspected Taeyeon's face as he went quite
There is something tearing Taeyeon to pieces from the inside
And it's definitely related to his wife
Rob really wanted to talk to Taeyeon...But it wasn't one of his business
"Ahaha, let's leave that aside for now, we're supposed to be in a meeting"
Taeyeon giggled and Rob smiled
"About the Programing company..."
"I already settled that with them earlier"
Rob immediately said when Taeyeon trailed off
"I have given up the system to your company"
"What ? but..."

"I have already contacted another programing company a while ago to make a new
system just in case something went wrong with this one, it should come in handy now,
besides you need it more than I do, you're opening up a new branch right ?"
Rob said and took a sip of his coffee
Taeyeon went silent for a little progressing all what Rob just said again he brushed his
nape just like last night
"Are you sure Rob ? I mean...this isn't something trivial to give up that easily"
"I know, but as I said I have already contacted another company and everything is
settled, it might even be a better opportunity for my own company you know, so
everything is fine"
Rob sipped his coffee and Taeyeon smiled apologetically
"How can I ever repay you for this Rob ?"
Taeyeon leaned forward and Rob put his finger on his chin pretending to think
"Just promise me that the next time you visit Ohio you would treat me to lunch"
Taeyeon laughed quietly
"Alright, I promise"

After Meeting with Rob Taeyeon went back to the hotel and sat back a little
He called the programming company and settled thing with and his company will get the
system installed in their hotel just in time for the grand opening
Now Taeyeon can rest assured
He did some work on his laptop after calling Sunny
Right now it's night and Taeyeon is waiting in a restaurant for his friend that he hasn't
seen in months
"Taeyeon !!"
Taeyeon immediately stood up and hugged the girl with blue hair who just approached
him
"Hyo ! Oh my god , I love the hair !!"
This girl here is Kim Hyoyeon
Taeyeon's childhood friend since elementary school
She owns a dancing school and has a lot of signature moves and was the
choreographer for a lot of famous groups
Overall Hyoyeon is a very successful women
"So how have you been ?"
Hyoyeon asked after they placed their order and Taeyeon sighed
"Stressful, how about you ? getting used to the live here ?"

"I'm struggling a bit with my English but I'm good"

"And that's why I was taking English lessons in high school, it's your fault for skipping it
!!"
"You know I was going to a dancing school at the same time !!"
And just then their food arrived and the topic dropped
After catching up on each others lives they went to Hyoyeon's house to have a drink
and as soon as they sat down and the wine was poured Hyoyeon asked
"How's your wife ?"
"My...Wife ?"
Hyoyeon looked at Taeyeon weird
"Yeah, You know Stephanie"
Taeyeon hesitated
"Actually..."

Five Minutes Later...

"What ?! Taeyeon !!"

Hyoyeon exclaimed
"Taeyeon !! She's cheating on you !!"
Taeyeon didn't say anything and just looked down at his wine glass

"How...How could she do that !!?"

Hyoyeon face palmed thinking of Taeyeon's situation
"But...Why ? there must be a reason"
Hyoyeon lowered her voice and Taeyeon looked up at her
"The only reason I could think of is because I don't give her enough attention...or
because I'm not good enough...or..She might be board with me...maybe she doesn't
love me anymore..."
"Yeah...right"
Hyoyeon said in sarcasm and grimaced
"Taeyeon...how did it end up like this ?"
Taeyeon's eyes gave up on holding back any longer and tears streamed down
"I don't know..."
"Taeyeon..."
Hyoyeon was surprised to see Taeyeon like that
He wasn't the type to cry easily
He would always be calm and bravely find a solution to any situation
But now he's all weak and falling apart
"Why won't confront her ?"
Hyoyeon asked calmly

"I...I can't *inhale* if I confront her *inhale* she's going to leave me *inhale* all alone...I
can't bare that"
Hyoyeon sighed
"So are you going to leave it like that ? Taeyeon she's with another man right now, are
you really okay with that ?!"
"No !!...no..."
Taeyeon exclaimed
"I don't want that !!...but...*inhale* I will wait for her to come back...I will give her time"
"But Taeyeon...what if she doesn't come back ?"
Taeyeon went silent for a moment before more tears came down
"I don't know !"
Taeyeon sobbed more and Hyoyeon hugged him to comfort him until he calmed down a
little
"I'm sorry for crying on you like that...god I'm so pathetic"
Taeyeon said leaning on Hyoyeon who was patting his head
"Taeyeon everybody needs to let it out every once in a while"
Taeyeon sigh
Hyoyeon is the only one who he can show this side of him self to
"Don't worry Mr.Kim...everything will get through"

After checking out of the hotel and buying souvenirs Taeyeon made his way to the
airport
The only available trip to South Korea was To Daejeon which Taeyeon wasn't very
please with
Honestly Taeyeon doesn't want to go back to Seoul
He doesn't want to face Tiffany right now
Not at all
Taeyeon looked at his watch when he finally took his seat in the airplane
1 PM
Which means he will arrive to Daejeon Airport in 3 in the morning and than ride in car
for 2 hours so he called poor Sunny to come pick him up
This time Taeyeon is on second class just because there wasn't any seat available in
first class
Today Taeyeon isn't lucky at all
"Oh, sorry sorry, didn't mean that. sorry..."

Taeyeon looked up as he heard a female's voice apologizing repeatedly and it was a girl
with ginger hair, green eyes and bright red lip stick who looked like about his age
pumping into people and bowing to them muttering quick apologize
Taeyeon didn't mind her and just looked out the window
"Oh sorry, Hi"
Taeyeon was surprised when The apologizing girl sat right next to him and greeted him
cheerfully with English
"Hello..."
Taeyeon greeted with a low voice and a little nod before looking back out the window
"Where are you from ?"
Taeyeon cursed him self mentally
He doesn't want to talk at all right now
"Korea..."
He answered smiling softly
"Oh interesting !!"
He might as well let the conversation flowing to not die from boredom for the next 14
hours
"Yeah, and where are you from ?"
"Me ? I'm from Germany"
"Germany, huh"

The conversation was cut off when the voice of a flight attendant echoed through the
plane asking them to tight on the safety belts.
"Can you hold my hand ? I can't take take-off's"
Suddenly the ginger girl turned to Taeyeon with pleading eyes and Taeyeon was so
taken aback by the girl's request
"Um...Ahh...A-Alright ...I guess"
Taeyeon gave her his hand and she clenched it tight until the plane took off and it as
okay for them to unfasten the safety belts
"Are you okay now ?"
"Yeah, thank you very much, you didn't tell me your name"
Taeyeon smiled softly at her
"Kim Taeyeon"
"So is Kim Your first or last name ?"
"Haha, my last name, you can just call me Taeyeon or just Kim if that's too hard for you"
"Alright, nice to meet you Kim !! Lea Roth"
They shook hands and got lost chatting
Taeyeon learned in a this short while that Lea is a 24 years old independent women
who actually owns a Bakery in Daejeon and she was at Ohio to visit her 16 years old
younger brother who fell off the stairs when he was too sleepy and humorously broke
both his legs.

"He said it doesn't hurt but we all laughed because we all knew that he was lying
because his face speaks for it self"
"I see, he probably doesn't want you to worry about him so much so he pretended it
doesn't hurt"
"Yeah, that's more like it"
Taeyeon and Lea continued chatting but not really because Lea did all the talking and
Taeyeon did the listening and responded when he was needed to until Lea decided to
fall asleep and it was the perfect time for Taeyeon to open his laptop and do some work.
When they reached Daejeon Taeyeon woke Lea up and fastened the seat belt for her.
"Do you need me to hold your hand this time too ?"
Taeyeon chuckled and Looked at Lea who blushed a little
"If it doesn't bother you..."
She said shyly and smiled when Taeyeon held out his hand for her
"I got it"
Lea smiled shyly at Taeyeon who just handed her her belongings from up the cabinets
"Thank you Taeyeon"
They shook hands and Taeyeon was about to bid goodbyes but before he could say
anything Lea got closer and landed a kiss on his cheek accidently leaving her lips mark
on his cheek because of her lipstick making both of them chuckle and at that moment
Taeyeon realized
Lea's intimate gaze at him as if she's waiting for him to say something...

The way she's caressing his hand with her thumb...

Taeyeon knew that she might be interested in him just by the way she's looking at him
now
It another perfect chance to get back at Tiffany...
But it also made Taeyeon realize something else
He doesn't feel anything anymore
Unless it's Tiffany he's thinking about he could not feel anything
"Well it was nice meeting you Lea"
Taeyeon quickly said as he discarded his hand from Lea's grip
"It was nice to meet you too, Kim..."
Lea said with disappointment visible on her face but Taeyeon wasn't looking at her
anymore to notice it
When Taeyeon finally got out of the suffocating plane and entered the airport he
immediately ran to the bathroom later to wash the kiss mark
When he got out he somehow spotted Sunny in the crowd with a banner with his name
on it
"Welcome Back Tae"
They hugged for about 2 seconds before Sunny broke it and looked at Taeyeon's face
"You look tired, how was the trip"
"It was...alright actually"
Taeyeon smiled and the smile only got wider when Sunny handed him Iced Mocha

"Yummy"
Taeyeon wiggled cutely before following Sunny out to the car
"Seriously Tae you're 26 you should act more mature by now"
"Hey I'm always mature !!"
"Right..."
On the way back they discussed work mostly and Taeyeon told Sunny about what
happened to him that night at the hotel
"Wow...I wonder what he saw in you"
"What ?! what do you mean ? I'm full of charms you know !"
Taeyeon exclaimed when Sunny showed an uninterested face
"You just don't realize how good I'm because we're cousins !"
Taeyeon crossed his arms and pouted looking out the window
"Taeyeon...have you ever looked at the mirror and said your self Man do I look like a
child ?"
Taeyeon looked at her with a poker face
"Hell no"
"Well you should"
Taeyeon was about to protest but Sunny suddenly stopped the car.
"Why did you stop ?"
"We're almost out of gas"

Sunny said before getting off

Taeyeon sighed and looked around the station they're in and spotted a fast food
restaurant
Perfect
"Where are you going ?"
Sunny asked when Taeyeon got off the car
"Food..."
He didn't look back at Sunny and just continued walking.
When he got inside he was blessed with the cold air conditioning
He smiled blissfully and ordered some food for himself and Sunny for the road
He took out his wallet from his pocket but he accidently dropped it
When he leaned down to get another hand got it first
He looked up to see that it was a very beautiful lady who looked like in her early 20's
and somehow looked a lot like Tiffany
He was silent for a second and didn't realize that the girl was offering him back his
wallet until she spoke up
"Um...your wallet"
"Oh yes ! Sorry, I mean Thank you !!"
Taeyeon cursed him self mentally as the girl giggled softly at him as took back his wallet
"I'm Sooji by the way"

The girl offered a hand to Taeyeon who offered his hand back
"Kim Taeyeon"
He smiled and she smiled back at him
"Say Taeyeon-ssi, are you on your way to Seoul ?"
"Oh yes, I'm coming back from Daejeon"
"I see...well I'm actually hosting a party tomorrow night...I think a new face wouldn't hurt"
Sooji smirked at Taeyeon and took out a pen from her purse and got a hold of
Taeyeon's hand
"Call me..."
And she left just like that leaving Taeyeon stunned
"What just happened ?"
Taeyeon asked the dude who's supposed to be the cashier that just witnessed the
whole scene while leaning on his cheek
"A Cute girl just invited you for a party, wrote her number on your hand and asked you
to call her"
Taeyeon looked down trying to progress but Sunny's voice interrupted his thoughts
"Tae let's go"
Sunny said with a loud voice peeking out of the door
"Ah, yeah"
Taeyeon snapped out of it and followed Sunny out to the car after paying for the food

"Great, you will get me fat Taeyeon, Burgers and Fries at 3 in the morning ?"
Sunny exclaimed as Taeyeon handed her a burger he just unwrapped for her to eat
while driving
"What ?! you're driving ! and besides aren't burgers like your favorite food ?"
"You know what fuck it"
Sunny said and took a big bite out of her burger
"Language"
"Oh please, like you don't curse"
"...A little"
"I wanted to ask earlier but when did you dye your hair back ?"
Taeyeon glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and looked back to the front
"Saturday"
"I like it better this way, it makes you look younger than you already look"
"Ow thanks...I really appreciate it"
Taeyeon said his tone full of sarcasm
They continued chatting until Sunny parked the car in front of Taeyeon's condo and she
let the steering while and relaxed on her seat with a sigh
''Finally, that felt like death..."
"Thanks Sunny, I don't know how to repay you..."
Taeyeon said really appreciating what Sunny did

"Let's just say you own me one"

Sunny smirked
"Not anything crazy all right"
They bid good bye to each other and Taeyeon for the first time doesn't want to go home
He stood in front of the elevator hesitating whether he should go up or not
After all for all he knows The other man might be in there with his wife
Go Up ? Stay Down ? Go Up ? Stay Down ?
He doesn't know anymore but eventually he gathered enough courage and pressed the
elevator button
He got in and watched the numbers go up slowly
10 ^
11 ^
12 ^
Unlike last time he did this, this time he's not smiling he's frowning
15 ^
Unlike last time he's not humming he only could hear his heart beating loudly in his ears
18 ^
Unlike last time he's not anticipating seeing his wife he doesn't want to see her at all
20 ^ *Ding*
Taeyeon felt himself sweating bricks as he entered his passcode slowly

He entered his living room as the elevator door opened and slowly looked around
scanning the place
It's past 5 AM right now so it's very unlikely for Tiffany to be up right now so he didn't
bother to call her name like last time
He looked around his condo very slowly inspecting every room and purposely leaving
their bedroom for last
When he found nothing and no one all around the house he knew it's time to face
Tiffany and whoever she's with that is if they were there
As he stood up in front of their bedroom he thought over and over of what kind of scene
is he going to face
All he could do is to pray for god that there is no one in the room other than Tiffany
He's sweating so much out of fear and he never thought his heart could get any louder
but it did as he put his grip on the door knob
After he muttered his prayers he slowly twisted the knob and paused when he found out
that the door was unlocked
He let go of the handle, closed his eyes and pushed the door open as slow as he can

Relief washed in his whole body and mind because when he opened his eyes the only
thing he saw was his beautiful wife sleeping alone on their bed
Just like I left her
He smiled to himself as he put his hand on his beating heart, closed his eyes and let out
a deep breath
Taeyeon legs gave out and he fell on all four
He was so glad that he doesn't have to face that now
So glad
After a while Taeyeon stood up and collapsed on their bed as he hugged Tiffany from
behind accidently waking her up
She turned around and faced him
"Hey..."
He whispered smiling and she smiled back
"You're back...how was your trip ?"
Tiffany whispered back as she put her hand on Taeyeon's cheek and rubbed it slowly
and softly with her thumb
"It was alright..."
Tiffany leaned in and pecked both of Taeyeon's cheeks and his lips
"You must be very tired..."

Tiffany whispered as she hugged Taeyeon's head and smoothened out his silky hair
"Yeah..."
Taeyeon smiled
"Go to sleep..."
Tiffany whispered softly in his ear and caressed his hair until she felt his steady breath
on her nape
Taeyeon didn't know why
Maybe it's the relief that washed over him
Maybe it's the relaxation of getting the system in time
Maybe it's the happiness that Tiffany wasn't with that guy
Maybe it's the tiresome of the trip kicking in
Or Maybe it's Tiffany's whisper that put him to sleep
Taeyeon Didn't know why at all he was able to sleep that good at that time
But he knew he could forget everything that's happening right now and just sleep
peacefully

Revelation
"Taeyeon ?''
Sunny called out.

Taeyeon looked up at Sunny who just entered his office.

"What's wrong ? are you sick? you look like a mess."
Sunny walked over to Taeyeon's desk and touched his face.
"Nothing's wrong...I'm just not getting enough sleep"
Taeyeon lied and Sunny didn't believe him.
"No, you can't lie to me, I can tell that you're suffering from something since you came
back from the US, what is it ?"
Taeyeon has been suffering since before he even went to the US two weeks ago but
Sunny didn't know why is Taeyeon being like this.
Taeyeon looked at Sunny for a moment and hesitated.
"Nothing...Nothing...I need to work Sunny...I will see you later"
Sunny sighed and decides that she will let it pass for now but she has to know what's
wrong with Taeyeon.
Because she knows something is really off.
"This isn't over yet. "
Sunny warned and left his office making Taeyeon face palm and sigh.
The last two weeks has been the most stressful in his whole life.
He has to go through hundreds of CV's with Sunny and some other employees tonight
to finally finish the employment for his new hotel and he just can't bring himself to focus
with his personal life interfering and affecting his mind setting
Tiffany Tiffany Tiffany Tiffany Tiffany Tiffany

That's all he could think about right now.

When Sunny came back later with the CV's and coffee Taeyeon was very thankful
If not for that coffee he would have collapsed
"Taeyeon...how about taking a small vacation ? you look so...zombified..."
It was almost midnight and the two were still working.
"Zombified...is that even a word ?"
"It actually is but don't change the subject"
"Sunny, you know that I can't take a vacation right now"
Taeyeon leaned back on his chair and spun around to face the glass wall behind him to
look at the night lights of the city and Sunny got up and faced him.
"Yes you can, I can handle the company for a couple of weeks, besides you have been
working none stop for months now Taeyeon, you deserve a little vacation...a stress
reliever...maybe you can go somewhere with Tiffany ?"
"Tiffany ?"
Taeyeon chuckled lowly and sighed then turned around to face his desk again.
"What was that ?"
Sunny questioned going back to her chair in front of Taeyeon
"Did something happen with you and Tiffany ? is that why you're being like this ?"
Sunny talked as if she has found out everything and Taeyeon was taking a back by how
fast Sunny caught up and turned around to the glass wall again to avoid Sunny's
piercing stare but to no avail because Sunny stood in front of him crossing her arms.

"Okay, something definitely happened between you two, explain...now..."

Taeyeon sighed for the nth time that day and face palmed as he turned around to his
desk again only to be face by Sunny again
"Nothing happened between us Sunny, I'm just tired..."
Sunny chuckled with a bitter expression on her face.
"Yeah right..."
There was silent for a moment .
"So you're not going to tell me ? okay...I get you..."
Sunny bit her lip and continued working glancing at Taeyeon every now and then.
His perfect silky hair is messy but still looks good.
She could tell that he can barely open his eye.
Dark circles are invading under his eyes and his skin looks paler than usual.
"Taeyeon I really think you need some rest...let's continue this some other time, okay ?"
Sunny flinched when Taeyeon punched the pile of papers with his fist and let out a loud
sigh.
The glare on his face was terrifying.
Taeyeon was always calm and collected but now he looks like he's about to commit a
crime.
Even Sunny was scared.
That was rare because she knows Taeyeon since they grew up together.

Sunny thought she was going to get killed only for Taeyeon to let out another sigh and
cover his face with both hands.
"You're right..."
Sunny relaxed when Taeyeon removed his hands and his face was back to normal.
"...I can't focus like this, let's continue this Monday..."
Taeyeon got off his chair and got a hold of his stuff before glancing at Sunny.
"Wanna go drinking or something ? I don't feel like going home"
Sunny immediately stood up.
Taeyeon barely ever drinks.
That is rare again.
"Uhhh...sure..."

As Sunny thought there was no way Taeyeon would go in a bar.

He bought a few bottles of Soju and drove them to the Han river and sat on the side on
the grass in a spot where people don't really know staring at the lights of the bridge.

Taeyeon was indeed drinking.

Sunny was only taking small sips not intending to get drunk because someone has to
drive.
To Sunny's surprise Taeyeon wasn't only drinking
He was crying as well.
Not quite sobbing but tears were coming out and his expression wasn't normal.
"Taeyeon...!?"
Sunny put her bottle down and got a hold of Taeyeon's shoulder.
"I'm...I'm just stressed...I need to let this out..."
Nope.
There was no way Sunny would believe that Taeyeon was crying because of stress.
The last time she saw him cry was when they were 11 and Taeyeon's puppy got run
over by a car and that was it
The last time Taeyeon ever cried in front of someone was freaking 15 years ago
But now he's saying he's crying because of stress ?
Sunny panicked
"Ahhh...uhhh...Tae...Taeyeon...d...don't cry !! uhh..."
Taeyeon chuckled while tears continued going down.
"It's alright...you don't have to comfort me or anything..."
Taeyeon wiped his right cheek only for it to get stained by tears again

"Just stay here...I need you..."

Taeyeon face palmed to hide his puffy eyes and Sunny relaxed and felt guilty for feeling
somewhat happy.
It was the first time ever that he tells her that he needs her.
Sunny has always respected Taeyeon.
He was always so cool and collected and good in anything he does.
His mood rarely ever changed always laid back and serious at the same time.
She wanted to be needed by someone like him.
She wanted to become so good that someone like Taeyeon would always need her.
To have him tell her this was something Sunny has always wanted to achieve
But now he's looking so sad and broken
This isn't how Sunny wanted it
Seeing Taeyeon like this wasn't in Sunny's bucket list
"Taeyeon...why are you like this ?...who did this to you ?"
Sunny had a painful expression on her face as she stood on her knees and hugged
Taeyeon from the side
Oh how pathetic Taeyeon felt
All he has been doing is make everyone around him conscious of what he's going
through and get comforted
He has to put a stop to this soon

This isn't working

It's all his fault
It's all his fault for driving Tiffany to the point where she had to find someone else
"Are you sure you're going to be okay ?"
Sunny asked Taeyeon who's sitting lifelessly in the passenger seat
"Yeah...I can manage..."
Taeyeon smiled at Sunny
"Thank you for staying with me...I really needed you"
"No problem...I'm always here for you..."
Taeyeon waved at Sunny as she drove away
"Ah...the car..."
Sunny realized that she's driving Taeyeon's car
She would just have to take it back tomorrow
When Sunny arrived to her apartment she took a quick shower and went to her
bedroom only to find an adorable mess of blue hair peeking out from under the blanket
She giggled when a figure under the blanket smiled cutely at her
"Hey...you're back..."
A fit guy wearing only jeans took the blanket off to look at Sunny probably
"Hey..."

Sunny greeted and accepted the cuddling offer the guy was making by opening his arm
and scooting over
She snuggled to his warm chest and he hugged her small body tightly
He placed a kiss on her temple and played with her blonde hair
"Are you tired ?"
The guy asked
"Yeah..."
Sunny responded
"Sleep..."
The guy covered them both with the blanket and Sunny fell into deep sleep
When she woke up in the afternoon, her boyfriend has already made lunch for both of
them
"Good afternoon pretty"
Sunny's boyfriend immediately got a hold of her and kissed her
"Hey Soo..."
Her boyfriend Sooyoung led her to the dining table and surprised her with all of her
favorite foods
"You could have at least wore a shirt"
Sunny laughed as Sooyoung shivered a little
"You know that shirts are my enemies"

Sunny giggled as her boyfriend made a funny look

After having lunch they both snuggled on the couch in front of the TV
She was sitting on his lap and he was back hugging her with his chin on her shoulder
He placed kisses on her neck every now and then which slightly tickled her
This is Sunny's ideal Saturday
Snuggling with her affectionate boyfriend on the couch while watching a good TV show
in the middle of the afternoon after a delicious lunch
Too bad they couldn't do this a lot cause he is still in college and she's in work more
than she's in home
This is what you get for being the first love of a cute, young, smart and handsome
college student
There is also the age gap of 6 years between them but they have been managing just
fine since he moved in with her
Sunny has always thought she was in a happy relationship which is true
But there is someone who's certainly suffering because of trying to maintain a happy
relationship
Taeyeon...
She's wondering what in the heavens happened between them to get Taeyeon to that
state
If Taeyeon isn't going to tell her she just has to ask the other party
Tiffany...

"I'm going out tonight and I need you with me"

She said to Sooyoung
"Where are we going ?"
"Taeyeon's place...''
"Ohh, Taeyeon Hyung, alright"
Sooyoung didn't question any further and as agreed once it was night time Sunny texted
Tiffany and as she suspected
Taeyeon wasn't at home right now
He borrowed Tiffany's car to go do his weekly check up on his hotel and as always he
would come back soon after
It was her chance to talk to Tiffany
She doesn't mean to meddle with their lives but she just wants to know if she's able to
help them
It's their first time having a fight
Or so Sunny thought
After parking Taeyeon's car in it's place Sunny knocked on her boyfriend's car window
"Stay here, okay ?
Sunny left Sooyoung in his car without explaining anything and Sooyoung only sighed
and waited as instructed
"Hey! it's been a while"

Tiffany and Sunny hugged before Tiffany led Sunny to the living room and served her
probably
After chatting and catching up a little Sunny sensed something weird about Tiffany
They have been friends since high school
She could at least tell if Tiffany is trying to hide something
"Did something happen between you and Taeyeon ?"
Sunny asked out of the blue which confused Tiffany
"What do you mean ? nothing happened"
"Taeyeon has been acting really weird lately, he's bumping into everyone and
everything when he's walking, the other day I caught him chewing on an empty fork
while spacing out instead of the food on his plate, he's looking more and more tired with
every passing day, I thought maybe you two had a fight or something"
"A fight ? nah, we didn't have anything of that sort, actually our relationship just got
better recently"
Tiffany blushed a little as she remembered the little things Taeyeon has been doing for
her for the past two weeks
Sunny got silence lost in thoughts
"How is he acting weird ?"
Sunny remembered the state Taeyeon was in last night
If she were in his place she wouldn't want Tiffany to know

And the fact that he needed her more than Tiffany means that what he's going through
has something to do with Tiffany
"Maybe I'm just worrying too much...you would know better"
"Now that you mentioned it, he does seem more stressed out lately even though the
work is supposed to be lighter now ?"
"Yeah...as I said maybe I'm just worrying too much"
After catching up with Tiffany some more Sunny remembered her poor boyfriend who
has been waiting for her in the car for how long ?
Two hours now ?
Sunny bid goodbye to Tiffany and when she reached the car she smiled at the scene of
Sooyoung hugging his knees to sleep waiting for her
"Baby...Wake up..."
"Huh?! what?! I wasn't sleeping!!"
Sunny giggled when Sooyoung jumped as she closed the door behind her
"Are you done ?"
"Yeah, let's go have dinner...my treat"
Sunny kissed her boyfriend and as she pulled away she saw a figure coming out of the
building from the corner of her eye
Sooyoung noticed where she was looking and turned to the same direction
"Isn't that Tiffany ?"
"Hm ?

Sunny and Sooyoung looked confused at Tiffany who was acting sneaky and suspicious
As if she doesn't want to get caught doing something
She was looking right and left and smiled when a sports car stopped right in front of her
and a guy as tall as Sooyoung got out
Sunny and Sooyoung couldn't believe what they were witnessing when Tiffany and the
dude kissed
"You have gotta be kidding me"
Sunny and Sooyoung watched as The guy put his arm around Tiffany and led her to the
car, opened the door for her and drove away
"Oh my god...did that just happen ?
"She's cheating !!"
Sooyoung looked so scared right now
He wanted Sunny so badly to tell him that (No, Tiffany is not cheating) and give him
some lame excuse but the look on Sunny's face said otherwise
Sunny had a hand on her mouth to prevent her sobs from coming out
Taeyeon has been suffering all alone
Suffering because of the fact that his own wife is cheating on him
How scary that is to have the person you love cheating on you behind your back and
pretend that everything is okay
Just what kind of pain is Taeyeon going through right now ?
Why is Tiffany doing this ?

Why is she hurting Taeyeon like this ?

How could this be ?!
A lot of questions went across Sunny's mind
But one thought interrupted them all
"Taeyeon knows..."
Sunny muttered
Taeyeon knows that Tiffany is cheating
And he's quite about it
That's only typical of him
"...What do we do now ?"
Sunny glanced at Sooyoung who had a shaky voice and a scared look in his eyes
"Now we go home...and than we think about it"
When they got home they both sat on the couch still in their coats looking down
"I didn't know Fany was that kind of person..."
Sooyoung broke the silence looking over at Sunny who was biting her thumb nail
"Now Taeyeon's actions make sense...he knows Tiffany is cheating"
Sunny said putting her hand on Sooyoung's thigh
Sooyoung looked down and seemed hurt as if he's the one being cheated on
He imagined Sunny cheating on him with another guy...older...and more mature

It's like a bang in his heart

The feeling of betrayal
The feeling of being thrown aside
The feeling of being left behind by the person you love the most
It's horrible
"Stop imagining things..."
Sooyoung snapped out of it when Sunny's hold on his thigh got tighter
"I know you're imagining things...stop it..."
Sooyoung looked up at Sunny scared
"I'm never going to cheat on you or leave you behind..."
Sunny wrapped her arms around Sooyoung's neck and pulled him in for a warm
assuring hug
It was almost like Sunny heard what he was thinking
"Trust me...there will never be a person who I will love more than you...okay ?"
Sunny's whispers and the hand that is caressing his blue hair put Sooyoung's heart at
ease
"I trust you..."
Sooyoung muttered and hugged back
Sunny knew how precious she was to Sooyoung
He let her know everyday since the day they met

It was only normal for him to feel insecure

The good thing was Sooyoung spoke out loud whenever he felt that way
And Sunny would always assure him that she loves him and him only
Unbeknownst to Sooyoung that sometimes Sunny feels insecure too
But his everyday actions always reassured her that Sooyoung will always be her's
Unlike Taeyeon and Tiffany who drifted away because of Taeyeon's work
That might be the reason why Tiffany is cheating
Taeyeon isn't assuring her
Taeyeon wasn't there for her when she felt insecure
So she ended up looking for someone else to tell her how much they love her
Ignoring the fact that if Taeyeon ever knew he would be so much hurt
Taeyeon isn't going to say anything to Tiffany
Sunny knows it
And Tiffany wouldn't stop unless she realizes how much hurting she is causing Taeyeon
But Taeyeon thinks that he can get her back with time
Maybe that will work
But Tiffany seemed so happy with that other guy
At that moment Sunny imagined herself in Taeyeon's shoes
Wishing to get Tiffany back

Praying every night to not get separated from her

Trying to turn back time to fix the mistakes
Doing his best to at least gain back an ounce of her attention
And enduring a whole lot of pain through all that
If Sunny was Taeyeon she would cry
But her crying would come to an end eventually and she would show the other person
that she can be happy without them
But in Taeyeon's case he can't
The truth will always be that Taeyeon will never be happy without Tiffany in his life
"Just what kind of messy situation is this ?!"
Sooyoung said with a stressful expression
"I need to help Taeyeon..."
Sunny said looking at Sooyoung
"I can't take seeing him like this, it's too much!!"
Sooyoung nodded aggressively almost crying himself
"I don't wanna see Taeyeon suffer because of this!! he doesn't deserve it!!"
Taeyeon needs help
Taeyeon isn't going to say it
Than they will just have to help him without him knowing
They need a plan

Telling Tiffany that Taeyeon knows is a no no because Taeyeon doesn't want that
Telling Taeyeon that they saw Tiffany is useless because it would just add to the wound
Tiffany needs to know how much it hurts to be betrayed
And she needs to learn it the hard way

Limit
Taeyeon sat inside the car in front of his condo
He doesn't want to go back right now
Because today It's Monday
Which means today Tiffany will meet up with that guy
He sighed and leaned his forehead on the steering wheel
And for the nth time Taeyeon prayed that Tiffany is being careful not to be spotted being
together with that guy.
He also prayed that the guy already left.
But his prayers weren't answered
He looked up when he heard his wife's beautiful laughter echoing in the parking lot.
Tiffany and that guy were coming to the parking lot from the elevator.
He looked at them with a poker face

They hugged tightly and started making out which made Taeyeon clench his teeth and
tighten his grip on the steering wheel until his knuckles were pale.
Taeyeon is mad
It took everything out of him to stop himself from getting out of the car and murdering
the guy in the most painful way possible
When they were finally done the guy drove away in his red sports car and Tiffany went
inside the elevator
After the elevator door closed Taeyeon got off the car and ran to the elevator
Once the elevator reached the 20th floor Taeyeon pressed the button with a determined
look in his eyes
When he reached the 20th floor he slowly pressed the password in and the door
opened
"Oh...Y...You're back...early"
Tiffany looked up from her phone on the couch
She looked very nervous
"Yeah..."
Taeyeon smiled
Tiffany walked to him and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips as if she didn't just kiss
somebody else 5 minutes ago
Taeyeon looked at her eyes for a moment
His smile turned into a sad frown

He was angry because of this situation and he can't do anything about it so he keeps it
inside
All the pain returned again
But this time the pain is thousand times more compared to the pain he already felt.
He glanced elsewhere only to spot a few plastic bags that has been resting on the
kitchen counter for the last two weeks
"I...I need to go now...I will be back later"
Taeyeon broke out of Tiffany's hold and got a hold of the plastic bags
"Where are you going ?"
Tiffany asked confused
Taeyeon averted his eyes from her's
"Just...no where important..."
Taeyeon ran to the elevator and pressed the close button repeatedly
"Bye..."
And just like that he left Tiffany in the middle of their living room confused as hell
Why is he being like this ?

"Is everyone here ?"

Sunny asked as she arrived with Sooyoung to their friend's place
"Yeah, what's the emergency ?"
A guy with light chestnut hair asked
"I will get straight to the point...Taeyeon needs our help but he's not going to ask for it"
Sunny has called their close friends to think of something to help Taeyeon through his
problem
Their friends weren't aware of the situation so Sunny shares it with their friends.
"What?!"
The guy with light chestnut hair said and stood up with anger visible on his face
"Calm down Yoong"
The girl with brown hair that was sitting next to him pulled him back down to the couch
and tried to calm him
"How did this happen ?"
The guy asked now more calmly
"I think he only found out two weeks ago but I'm sure she's been doing this for a longer
time already, Jessica you should now"
Sunny looked at the girl with chocolate brown hair that pointed at her self and shook her
head

"Honestly I'm just as shocked as everyone in this room, I didn't know..."

Now Jessica, Tiffany's best friend is feeling hurt because Tiffany didn't tell her anything
about this, she could simply just ask her for advice if she was having a problem with
Taeyeon but she chooses not to tell her instead
Why ?
Who would have ever thought that Tiffany would do something like this for Taeyeon
"How could this be...?"
The tanned guy next to Jessica face palmed and let out a deep sigh
"Are you sure you saw them kissing ? wasn't it just a peck on the cheek as a goodbye
or something ?"
The same guy asked
"We had front seats and they kissed on the lips, he even put his arm around her waist"
Sooyoung retorted
"Is oppa okay ?"
The girl sitting next to Yoona asked
"No...he's not okay at all...he's breaking down...that's why I called you"
This group of friends is the closest to Taeyeon
Sunny is his cousin and secretary, they basically have been together since hey were
born
Yuri, the tanned guy with dark brown hair is his best friend since high school

Jessica got really close to Taeyeon since he helped her get together with Yuri and they
see each other a lot because she's Tiffany's bestfriend
Yoona, the guy with light chestnut hair is his little brother
Sooyoung, Sunny's boyfriend and Yoona's bestfriend since they were kids is like a little
brother to Taeyeon
And Seohyun is Yoona's sweet girlfriend since high school and is like a little sister to
Taeyeon
Just the inner circle of his and Tiffany's friends
The people who are willing to do anything to help the two's relationship
"She's going to pay for this!! how could she do this to hyung!!"
Yoona was in rage
Yoona rarely ever gets angry
He's always smiling and laid back
But when it comes to anything that might bother Taeyeon he turns into a completely
other person
"Yoong...please calm down...''
Seohyun held Yoona's arm trying to calm him down
"How can I calm down!? My brother is suffering like that because of her and her
selfishness and you're telling me to calm down?!"
"Getting mad right now won't make the situation any better...calm down and let's all
think of something..."

Yuri said as he stood up and put his hand on Yoona's shoulder

Yoona took a deep breath and sat back down crossing his arms
Jessica was obviously very hurt because first of all she knew nothing of what Tiffany
was doing behind their backs and because she was hurting Taeyeon
"Jessica...do you have any idea of something Taeyeon did to make Tiffany resort to
cheating ?"
Jessica only looked down and thought of an answer to Sunny's question
"I don't know...she never told me anything...she complains sometimes that Taeyeon
doesn't spend anytime with her...it stopped for a while but now she only says good
things about him, I thought they were good but...seems not"
They all sat down in the heavy silent atmosphere and thought of the situation
*Ding* *Dong*
Like...what the hell ?
Who in the heavens is visiting at a time like this ?
Yuri and Jessica exchanged a look and Yuri got up to open the door
"Hi..."
Everyone stood up when they heard the voice of the person standing at the door with
Yuri
"I bought you and Sica souvenirs from the US"
Taeyeon looked tired but he smiled sweetly at Yuri who looked at him as if he just heard
that somebody died

"Are you okay ?"

Taeyeon waved his hands in front of Yuri's face trying to snap him out of it
"Oh...you have guests...sorry Yul is this not a good time ?"
Taeyeon scratched his neck awkwardly when he saw all the shoes and smiled
apologetically at Yuri
"Yeah...I will just..."
Taeyeon was about to walk away
"No wait !!"
Yuri immediately grabbed Taeyeon's arm
"Actually everyone is here right now, come in"
Taeyeon wondered who Yuri meant by *Everyone* but smiled tiredly when he indeed
saw the sight of everyone in the living room
"Hey...everyone is really here...wait...why is everyone here ?"
Taeyeon was indeed happy to see everyone at once but than became confused when
he realized that they were all gathered in YulSic's apartment
"What is this ? *chuckle* you're having a secret gathering without us ?"
Taeyeon looked tired and stressed out but he smiled at them which just made them
more worried because they knew how much that smile is hiding
"Hyung...are you okay ?"
Yoona scooted over to Taeyeon who just sat on the couch with them and Taeyeon
paused before looking at him confused

"I'm completely fine...why ?"

Everyone exchanged glances with each other wondering if they should confront him or
not
"Taeyeon, is Tiff really cheating on you ?"
Gun Shot
Jessica fired the question like a gun shot at Taeyeon
She wanted to know the truth about her bestfriend and the fastest way was to confront
Taeyeon
"What...?"
Taeyeon chuckled obviously trying to hide something
"Taeyeon...actually the other day...Me and Soo...saw Tiffany kissing with some dude in
the parking lot..."
Taeyeon had an unexplainable expression on his face
Like he doesn't know how to react
"So you are telling me she's cheating ?"
Taeyeon asked with his head down
"...Is she ?"
Yuri asked with a hand on Taeyeon's shoulder
Taeyeon didn't say anything
Images of Tiffany and that guy started flashing in his mind

When they were doing it in his own bed

The calls and texts she secretly has with him
Their secret dates
All the things that Tiffany does with that guy without him knowing
"I will take that as a yes"
Jessica was pissed
"Oppa...how are you feeling ?"
Seohyun scooted over to Taeyeon and held his cold hand
It took only one second for Taeyeon to look at Seohyun's worried face to feel that bang
in his heart yet again
He immediately stood up and averted his eyes from everyone
He intended to walk to the door but he didn't get far as Yuri's arm stopped him
"Yul...get out of my way..."
Taeyeon didn't raise his head
Yuri didn't budge
"Please...let me go..."
When Taeyeon finally raised his head tears were soaking on his red cheeks
"Taeyeon!? You..."
Yuri's hold immediately relaxed which gave Taeyeon the chance to get away but was
stopped again by the same arm around his torso

"Why wont you let me go?"

Taeyeon's legs gave up and he fell on his knees pulling Yuri down with him
"Why?!"
Taeyeon was now sobbing hard
He leaned down on the floor and covered his face with his arms and sobbed hard
"I was okay!! why did you have to say it out loud!!"
Taeyeon punched the floor
"Why?!"
"Taeyeon..."
"Now I'm all broken and I don't know what to do!!"
Taeyeon punched the floor again
"I don't want to bear with this pain any more!!"
Taeyeon has never cried this hard in his whole life
"It hurts and I'm waiting but the pain isn't going away"
Taeyeon clenched his hair
"I have had enough of this..."
Taeyeon raise his head
He looked like a mess
"Please..."

Taeyeon's voice turned into a whisper

"...Help me..."

After Taeyeon's breakdown Sooyoung and Seohyun got Taeyeon in a car and drove
away immediately
Taeyeon needed to get away
Away from all of this mess and stress or he's going to go crazy at this rate
Back inside YulSic's apartment the mood was worse than before
Yoona have never been this angry in his whole life
He had a terrifying expression on his face, his fists were clenched tightly and his legs
were shivering
Jessica just sat there in silence and Yuri Was leaning on the wall face palming
"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to kill her"

Yoona suddenly exploded and got up from his seat

He was raging walking to the door but was stopped
"Calm down Yoona"
It was Yuri
"How do you except me to calm down ?! didn't you see how Taeyeon Hyung came to be
!!"
"I know but--..."
"But what ?! leave it at that until she's satisfied with whatever she's doing ?"
Yoona paused
"You except me to accept the fact that my brother is hurting like that because of her and
leave it at that ?"
Yuri stayed silent
"I don't think so..."
Yoona yanked his arm out of Yuri's grip and was about to walk to the door only to be
stopped again
"Let go !!"
Yoona immediately calmed down when he turned around and saw the expression on
Yuri's face
"...Who said anything about leaving it like that ?"
Yoona looked confused

"If Taeyeon doesn't want to make her pay back for what she's doing then we will make
her..."
Everyone looked at Yuri
"But first calm down and let's all think of something..."
Yuri led Yoona back to the couch and all of them looked at Sunny when her phone rang
"Is that so ?...I see...yeah, I think so too...be careful..."
When Sunny closed her phone she looked up at everybody
"It's Soo...he says that Taeyeon wants to go back to Jeonju..."
"Jeonju...?"
Yoona questioned
The good thing was that Seohyun is with the two because she knows where their
parents house is
"You know Yoona, let's just go and think about it some other time, but for now it's
getting late"
And just like that they split
When Yoona and Sunny left, Yuri took a shower after Jessica and when he walked into
their bedroom Jessica was sitting on their bed crossing her legs with a hand on her chin
He turned off the lights and turned on the night light before approaching her
She was looking down lost in thoughts and didn't realized Yuri sitting next to her until he
wrapped his arm around her
"What's on your mind ?"

Yuri asked softly and Jessica leaned in to his embrace

"Hmm...just thinking about Tiff and Taeyeon..."
Yuri chuckled sadly
"Who would have ever thought that They would end up like this...they were the cutest
couple since high school"
Jessica didn't say anything for a while
"Why do you think Tiff didn't tell me...?"
Yuri could hear hurt in Jessica's voice
The great, high and mighty Jessica Jung is hurt
By non other than Tiffany Hwang who seems to be hurting others without realizing it
Yuri sighed
"I don't know but...I'm sure she has a reason..."
Yuri kissed Jessica's temple and snuggled her in more
Jessica tightened her grip on Yuri's shirt and pushed him down on the pillow so they can
sleep

"Hm ? I wonder when Tae is coming back"

Tiffany looked up at the clock that is signaling 9:32 AM
It wasn't weird for Taeyeon to not actually comeback from work but Tiffany was worried
Today is Saturday which means there is no work
In other word Taeyeon is supposed to be here right now
And just then the bell rang
Tiffany glanced at the elevator and turned on the TV to look at who it was through the
camera
"Sooyoung...?"
Tiffany immediately got up and opened the elevator door to reveal a poker faced
Sooyoung
"Sunny is busy so I'm here in her place to deliver a message to you from Taeyeon"
Sooyoung didn't even bother to greet Tiffany
"Tae ? where is he ? and why can't he tell me himself ?"
Tiffany frowned but stepped aside to let Sooyoung in
"There seems to be an emergency related to work so he went up road last night. he
wont be able to contact you for a while"

"What ?"
Tiffany is surprised...
Very surprised
"Why didn't he tell me ?"
Tiffany asked and Sooyoung's eyes turned cold which was a rare sight for him
"Why don't you ask your self ?"
Sooyoung glared and went back inside the elevator leaving Tiffany dumbfounded
"What just happened ?"
Tiffany sat down and asked herself
Did Sooyoung just came in and informed me that Tae isn't in Seoul and he wont be able
to contact me ?
How suspicious
"And why the hell won't he contact me ?"
Tiffany frowned and sighed
"What the hell is happening with him ?"
Tiffany changed into her sleep wear and laid on their bed
No matter how many lonely nights she go's through the loneliest of them all would be
when Taeyeon is out of the country
When his heart is away from her
But now he seems to be suffering from something

And he's not telling her

"Why am I doing this...?"
Tiffany closed her eyes and instead of sleeping she started thinking
Why is she going out with Nichkhun even though she has Taeyeon ?
Because she's doesn't feel like she has Taeyeon
Not any more
Is it bad to feel like owning someone ?
Even though she feels this way
Why am I going out with someone else ?
Remembering all the lonely days and nights she spent all alone makes it hurt
Makes it harder to let go of what ever she has with Nichkhun right now
Nichkhun approached her when she needed someone
At that time Tiffany was frustrated
She didn't know how to talk to Taeyeon about this
It made her feel selfish for asking him to give her his time instead of working
But Nichkhun made her feel loved again
She's enjoying her time with Nichkhun and she enjoys her time more with Taeyeon
So it wouldn't hurt if he doesn't know, right ?
Right ?!

Or that's just what she thought

Not putting in mind that she's betraying Taeyeon this way
Actually Tiffany is feeling really scared right now
What if Taeyeon finds out ?
How hurt will he be ?
It didn't hit her before but...
Through all the things that happened between her and Nichkhun and the things that
happened between her and Taeyeon
Taeyeon still is Number One in her heart
No one can replace him
Then why is she going out with Nichkhun ?
Even Tiffany is asking that to herself

Karma
It's been a few days since Tiffany last saw Taeyeon
She woke up this morning feeling heavy and for some reason bothered
She can't help it but get this sinking feeling in the bit of her stomach of being scared
But what is she scared of ?
She herself doesn't know

What's worse than being scared is not knowing what you are scared of
She took a warm shower early hoping to feel refreshed or get this feeling out but no
avail
It was still there and today she has a date with Nichkhun
They were supposed to watch a movie and get dinner after but Tiffany just didn't feel
like it at all
Some how she managed to put some make up on and do her hair with the thought that
Taeyeon wasn't there and she could be comfortable instead of being sneaky as always
"Hey"
Nichkhun greeted as soon as Tiffany stepped in his car
"Hey"
Tiffany sighed heavily and greeted back
She wasn't in the mood for this at all
"Did you have lunch ? shall we get something to eat first?"
Tiffany sighed again
"No...I'm not in the mood"
"What's wrong ?"
Nichkhun glanced at her
"Nothing...nothing at all..."
Tiffany face palmed and thought about everything

What the hell is she doing ?

Why is she going out with this guy again ?
She forgot sometime ago
Why is she still doing this ?
Taeyeon is keeping his promise of spending time with her
He showers her with his love everyday
He's back to being her lovely husband that he used to be before he got busy in work
and even better now
The starvation for love she felt is now replaced with overflowing emotions because of
Taeyeon
Then why is Nichkhun still in the picture ?
She already started regretting her decision of cheating the moment she started doing it
Cheating is not a mistake, it's a choice
Everyone knows that
She knows that
It was a horrible horrible choice she made
If only she talked it out with Taeyeon earlier this wouldn't have happened
She needs to end whatever she has with Nichkhun
And she needs to do it today
It's a chance that Taeyeon isn't here

She needs to get her shit together

Good thing Taeyeon doesn't know otherwise this would have been a million times
harder for her
Or so Tiffany thought...
After watching a movie the two went to a restaurant for dinner
"Nick...I need to tell you something..."
After they finished their meal Tiffany suddenly interrupted their happy chatting and put
on a serious face
"What is it ? why so serious ?"
Nichkhun laughed
"Nick...this is serious..."
''Okay okay, I'm listening..."
Tiffany took a deep breath to relax
"Nick...I think it's about time we end this..."
Tiffany looked at him right in the eye to show him how serious she is
"What...?" He chuckled and leaned back on his seat
"I told you from the very beginning that I would be just using you if we jump into this
relationship and that one day we will have to end it...and you accepted"
Tiffany looks at him apologetic , after all Nichkhun does actually really love her
otherwise he wouldn't have made a move on her knowing that she's married and went
along with her selfishness of keeping it a secret, it wasn't just a simple affair

"Well that day is today"

Nichkhun smile was gone and he looked down at the table
"Why ? I thought I was making up for the things your husband neglects...why now out of
nowhere ?"
Nichkhun grimaced
"Nick, it's not out of nowhere...actually I had a talk with him a while ago...I told him what
I really felt and that I was lonely and he told me that he wont let me feel that lonely or
leave me in the shadow again...he promised...and he kept his promise since then"
Nichkhun didn't say anything
"He's making up for the time we could be together in..."
Now Tiffany is in tears
"It's only fair to be by his side again...I love him"
After a moment of silence Nichkhun looked up with a poker face
"I only have one last question..."
Tiffany looked at him waiting for him to ask
"Did you ever feel anything towards me ?"
Tiffany let out more tears
"I did...*sniff* I thought I did, but when ever I think of Taeyeon *sniff* I realize that what
ever I'm feeling towards you is nothing compared to what I feel towards him..."
Nichkhun face palmed and let out an exhausted sigh
"I understand...we shall not meet any more...but...you should now this..."

After a pause
"I really do love you...''
Nichkhun smiled at Tiffany with pain on his face
"I'm really sorry..."
Tiffany let out more tears
They stayed silent for a while than Nichkhun smiled at her
"You can walk away first..."
Tiffany cried more
"I'm really really sorry..."
And just like that Tiffany walked out leaving Nichkhun lost in his own thoughts

Tiffany finally managed to calm down as she reached the bus stop

She sat down on the bench and looked down at the floor rubbing her hands together
"Hi...'' A pretty girl suddenly appeared in front of her
Tiffany looked up with puffy eyes
"Hi...?"
"I'm sleeping with your husband" The Girl said
"What...?" Tiffany frowned
"I'm sleeping with your husband" The girl repeated
Tiffany chuckled and forced a smile out
"I'm sorry I'm really not in the best mood for pranks"
The girl didn't waver
"This isn't a prank, I'm sleeping with your husband Taeyeon"
Tiffany's eyes widened when she heard her husband's name coming out of the pretty
girl's mouth
"Don't lie, you don't even know him" Tiffany glared at the girl
"No really, here's the proof''
The girl tooks out her phone and after a few taps she showed a picture to Tiffany
Tiffany's eye got wide and her mouth dropped to the floor
She slowly put a hand on her mouth and held her stomach with the other
This can't be happening
Taeyeon...has been cheating ?

All this time...?

She would have never believed the girl if it wasn't for the photo
It was a selfie of the girl laying next to sleeping Taeyeon who's half of his naked body
was covered by a blanket with messy hair in an unknown bedroom
What ?
What is this feeling ?
Tiffany slowly dropped to the floor with a hand still on her mouth tears streamed out of
her eyes like a waterfall
How is this possible ?
Everything she feels right now doesn't make any sense
She's so sad that it feels like her heart is about to rip into small pieces but she also feels
angry
She feels a sense of panic
A lot of disbelieve
Betrayed
Humiliated
And everything in between.
So this is what it feels like to be cheated on
She was afraid that one day Taeyeon would find out about this but how Ironic
It was her who's feeling it first

Or so she thought
Karma is a bitch isn't it ?
Tiffany cried...and cried...and cried...completely disregarding that she's in a bus stop
right now
The pretty girl just stood there next to Tiffany who was on the floor and stared at her
What now ?
Tiffany doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon
*sigh*
The girl sighed and held on to Tiffany's body and pulled her up on the bench again

2 Hours Later

"So...you're sleeping with Taeyeon ?"

Tiffany asked after blowing her nose with a tissue the girl handed her
"Yes...I'm sorry he didn't tell me he was already in a relationship"
Tiffany paused
"Well you didn't know so it's not your fault"
Tiffany sniffed for the last time before looking at the pretty girl

"So...since when has this been going on ?" Tiffany asked

"I don't know...6 months maybe ?"
6 Months ? that's about the time he started getting busy
So this is what he has been doing ?
"Can I see the picture again ?"
"Sure"
The girl took her phone out again and showed Tiffany the picture
It seemed very recent because that's how Taeyeon looks right now
By seeing the picture Tiffany felt new tears blurring her vision
Taeyeon is cheating
Tiffany is not enough for Taeyeon
Taeyeon doesn't love her enough
What should she do now ?
"Why is he cheating ?"
Tiffany blurted before throwing her head between her arms and started crying again
"It's all my fault! I wasn't good to him! I always asked for what I wanted and never
considered him! I always thought of myself first! I was horrible to him! I was too selfish
and went as far as cheat on him! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh''
The girl sighed loudly again but this time in relief and put the phone next to her ear
"Hey...yeah...I think my work is done here"

Tiffany glanced side ways at the girl next to her and her eyes went wide when she saw
Yuri, Sunny, Jessica and Sooyoung come out from behind the bus stop they were sitting
in
Tiffany stopped crying and just looked at her friends very confused
"Fany-ah...I want you to meet Cho Eunyoung"
Yuri gestured to the girl sitting next to her and the girl stood up and bowed to her
"Hello again..."
Okay Tiffany is now getting more confused
"Eunyoung-ssi is a friend of Seohyun from Jeonju"
''Ok...ay...?"
"She agreed to help us making you realize how much cheating hurts" Yuri said with a
gentle smile on his face
Tiffany's eyes went wide again
"What ? you knew all along ?...wait...so Taeyeon isn't cheating ?!"
Jessica glared at her bestfriend
"Of course he's not cheating! It's Taeyeon we're talking about!! we only found out
because Sunny and Sooyoung here saw you with the other guy!!"
Jessica is angry...very very angry
Tiffany stood up with her eyes going wide for the nth time that night
"Wait...Taeyeon knows ?" She asked
"Yes...I think he found out a month ago" Sunny said

"A month ago..."

That's about the time they had that talk
He didn't talk about it with me before because he thought I was okay with how things
were going between us
But when he found out he realized I wasn't okay
If I had talked about it with him before I rush into anything all of this wouldn't have
happened
A rush of panic passed through Tiffany
"Where is he right now ? he's not really in a business trip is he ?"
Tiffany asked with a rush
"He's resting back in Jeonju in his parents house with Yoona and Seohyun" Sooyoung
said
"Thanks !!"
Tiffany stopped a taxi and disappeared from their sight
"This should do"
Sunny sighed
"Thank you Eunyoung-ssi, you were a great help"
Jessica smiled at the pretty girl in front of them
"I was just returning a favor for Seohyunie" Eunyoung shook her head
"The picture looks so real, how did those two manage to make Taeyeon agree to take
this ?" Sooyoung stared at the picture in aw

Eunyoung paused and chuckled

"He didn't know...he was actually really asleep"
Well that explains a lot
Taeyeon would never agree to something like this ever

Tiffany searched through her stuff in their bedroom

She was going to pack a few things and drive away to Jeonju
But while she's packing she realized something
How could I ever face him now ?
I betrayed him and now I'm going to apologize and hope that everything goes back to
the way it used to be ?
What if we ended up getting divorced ?
No no no no no no no no

I will not be able to take that

The pain she felt for one hour almost drove her crazy
How is Taeyeon capable of handling all of that ?
She walked to their big window and looked at the sky hoping that Taeyeon is looking at
the same sky right now
"TaeTae...what are you doing right now ?"

A Farm In Jeonju

"Hyung...please eat something..."

Yoona was standing in front of a bench looking at an exhausted looking Taeyeon who
was looking at the sky ignoring the tray of food Yoona placed next to him a while ago
Taeyeon didn't even answer him nor looked at him

The last words Taeyeon said were when he told Sooyoung and Seohyun he wanted to
come to Jeonju in the car
That was almost a week ago
Since then he didn't say anything
It's not that he didn't want to talk
He just couldn't
He barely ever eats
He can never really sleep
He just take long walks in their farm in the morning and doesn't come back to the house
until sunset
He spends all the night hours siting on the bench looking at the sky lifelessly
When it gets late he go's to his bedroom and try failed attempts to get some sleep
Oh how shocked his parents were to see their eldest son in that state
They have been trying to talk to him the moment a blue haired boy knocked on their
door with Seohyun standing next to him and Taeyeon unconscious on his back but to no
avail
Taeyeon doesn't look at their eyes or faces
He doesn't respond to anything they say nor anything they do
They thought of taking him to a hospital but the problem wasn't with his health
Every time either of them would mention Tiffany Taeyeon's eyes would go red and silent
tears would fall down on his cheeks without even a change in his expression

Yoona have been helping him take care of his personal hygiene by helping him bath
and shave and etc.
And if it wasn't for Seohyun he would have died from hunger by now
She would always somehow manage to make Taeyeon take a few bites of what ever
they serve him
''Hyung...why are you being like this ?"
Yoona fell on his knees and broke into tears on Taeyeon's lap
Taeyeon finally glanced at Yoona and put a hand on top of his head
When Yoona looked up Taeyeon glanced at the tray of food Yoona placed next to him
Yoona immediately pulled the tray closer and smiled widely when Taeyeon actually
started eating...slowly...little by little...
Taeyeon is trying to get better
He really is
He hates how he's driving everyone around him worried
But he just can't get better in a single day
A Broken heart needs time to heal
But even after some time it wont completely heal because the heart is like a mirror
It breaks, you can put it back together But it wont be as good as new
You would be able to see the crack marks
Just like scars

It might completely heal but you can still see the effect it left on you
"Hyung...please eat more" Yoona frowned when he saw Taeyeon had stopped and the
food is not even quarter finished
Taeyeon as expected didn't respond and looked back up at the dark sky
Why does the sky seems so sad tonight ?
Taeyeon asked himself
There must be something wrong with Tiffany
Oh Tiffany
How much Taeyeon misses her
How much he wants to hear her voice...her laugh
How much he wants to see her face...her eyes...her cute nose and those pretty pink lips
How much he had been daydreaming of hugging her and kissing her as if nothing had
ever happened
But he can only think of all of that in his daydreams
Taeyeon got off the bench he walked to the his bedroom and laid on the bed
He wants to sleep
He wants to dream
He wants to see Tiffany even if it's just a dream or a daydream
When ever he closes his eyes on bed all he get is night terrors instead of sweet dreams
He would wake immediately startled, panting and sweating

Sleep never visits his eyes after and he would spend the night laying on the bed
thinking, daydream and trying failed attempts of puling himself together or just simply
staring at the clouded moon like tonight
"Taeyeonie...''
Taeyeon didn't need to look at the now open door to know that it was his father who
entered his room
His father Kim Minjong was a gentleman in his middle 40's
Never once did he scolded Taeyeon
He was always gentle, patient and kind while raising Taeyeon and Yoona with all his
love along side their mother Kim Hyesoo
That's how Taeyeon turned to be the great man he is
But the Taeyeon right now is no where near how he used to be
"Taeyeonie...are you okay ?"
Taeyeon glanced at Minjong who sat next to him on the window railing
He shook his head and his expression turned sad
He could be honest and open with his dad
His dad has always been the pillar of wisdom in Taeyeon's eyes
He always knows what to do and what to say in every situation which is something
Taeyeon got from him
However his mother never cheated on him so he wouldn't know how it feels
"Taeyeonie...it's not the end of the world you know...Fany is still there..."

He's right...it's not like Tiffany is gone or anything...

She still exists
"What do you want to do ?"
Taeyeon looked down
What does he want to do ?
He wants Tiffany of course
''Do you want to be with her despite what she did ?"
It's going to be hard...so hard to trust her again
"Or do you want to end things with her ?"
The thought of ending things with Tiffany terrified Taeyeon
He can't imagine how life is without her
He immediately looked up at his dad and shook his head
He tried recalling the time before he met Tiffany
How he laughed and smiled and lived happily just fine without her
He couldn't remember
Minjong sighed
"Taeyeonie...you're a strong man...you went through a lot..."
Minjong smiled

"You can get through this...hardships make humans stronger...you're going to stand up
again stronger than ever and rebuild your relationship with Fany and it's going to be
better then it used to be"
Taeyeon's lips curved into a small smile for the first in a while
He just needs to try a bit more harder
And everything will be okay

Ball
Fear
Every since that night Tiffany has been living in fear
She now knows what she was and is afraid of
Losing Taeyeon
Any other guy in the world would have never forgave her
But it's Taeyeon
It's typical of him to do something like that
She was supposed to pack her things and drive to Jeonju the other night
But she was too scared to face him
Too ashamed of what she did to him and to herself
And the shame only got worse when Sunny told her that Taeyeon had already forgave
her since day 1
Just how ?

Taeyeon is in his parents house to be away from her

He doesn't want to see her
He doesn't want her presence to be any where near him
Taeyeon isn't the type to stay angry so Tiffany's guess is that he's living hellish pain
right now
His anger is bad for her but his pain is bad for him
Taeyeon would 100% choose to bare with it than share it with her
Tiffany decided to stay in here and leave Taeyeon in his parents care for now
Right now what Taeyeon needs isn't her
He doesn't need the source of his pain near him right now but a shoulder to lean on
But eventually they would have to talk it out with each other
And until that time comes she has to think of some way to get things right again
After waking up late in the afternoon Tiffany freshened up and tried to eat something
By evening she sat on the couch in front of the turned off TV and was lost in thought
How can I make this any better ?
Just as she asked that question in her head the bell rang
She glanced at the elevator door and turned on the TV to see who it was and to her
surprise
It was Jessica Jung
Her Best friend

The girlfriend of her husband's best friend

She got up and pressed open the elevator door only to get her collar pulled by an angry
Jessica
''What are you still doing here ?"
Why the hell does everyone enter this place without greeting first ?
"I thought you wanted to get Taeyeon back! Don't you ?!"
Tiffany got a hold of Jessica's hand that was on her collar which made Jessica relax a
little
"Jessie...calm down...I do want Taeyeon back''
Jessica let go of Tiffany's collar slowly and stared at her eyes
"Why are you so angry ?"
Jessica looked at her very hurt
"Because you got yourself in some deep shit and I knew absolutely nothing about it"
She chuckled
"So much for being your bestfriend" Honestly Jessica was feeling hurt
Best friends supposed to tell each other these things, right ?
Tiffany sighed
"Come in" Tiffany said after pressing a button that closed the elevator door
"Why didn't you tell me anything ? don't I deserve to know ?'' Jessica asked after
settling down in the living room
Tiffany looked down at her carpet finding it more interesting to look at

"Why aren't you saying anything...answer...please..."

Jessica's voice turned from cold to shaky which made Tiffany finally look up at her
''How can I tell you something like this ?"
"Why ?"
"Jessie! cheating isn't exactly something I want to brag about !! how can I tell you
something so shameful!" Tiffany raised her voice
"Than why did you do it in the first place!!" Jessica raised her voice as well
"Because I was lonely and I'm a fool for not telling Taeyeon but then Nichkhun was
there when I felt sad!!"
"Your reason is not good enough Tiff!! if only you saw how he broke down in front of
us!!" Jessica glared
Tiffany swallowed the lump in her throat
The hellish hour Tiffany lived that night was nothing compared to what she cased
Taeyeon for the past month
"I know...I want to make it up for him...I want to show him how much I really love him
and how much I regret making that decision"
Tiffany wiped the tears that slid on her cheek
It's not her place to cry
"Well here I was thinking I will have to give you an earful of scolding but you seem to
know what you should be doing" Jessica smiled

"But...how could you do that Tiff...you guys have been together since high school and
through out collage and you have been married for only two years and you cheat on him
?"
"I don't know Jessie...I have been asking myself this question from the very begining...I
don't know...I just don't know what to do with myself"
Tiffany cried more
"Tell me honestly Tiff...do you actually love that guy ?"
Jessica asked in a calm manner
Tiffany covered her face with her hands as more tears came out
"I though I did...I really thought I did but when I compared what I felt for him to what I
feel for Taeyeon I realized I feel absolutely nothing for that guy"
It was silent for a moment and the only thing that could be heard is Tiffany's soft sobs
"Did you sleep with him ?"
Tiffany cried more and nodded her head
Jessica widened her eyes and her jaw reached the floor as she gave Tiffany an
unbelievable look
"Tiff...that was an asshole move..." Jessica face palmed
''I know..." Tiffany sobbed more and gave in to Jessica's arms that went around her
"What's done is done...we can't turn back time to prevent that from happening..."
Jessica whispered into her ear
"But you can still make it right...You're a lucky girl Tiff...Taeyeon loves you"

"I know...that fact makes me feel more horrible"

"But you could have at least told me..." Jessica glared at Tiffany
"I'm sorry...*sniff* I didn't want your vision of me to change...what I was doing wasn't
really something I wanted my loved once to know....especially you"
"Idiot...why would my vision of you ever change ? we have been best friends since as
long as I remember, I wouldn't judge you because of something like that...I'm your
bestfriend...it's my job to support you in what ever you do" Jessica smiled softly
"Even if you fucked up...it's my job to help you make things better again"
Tiffany smiled
This indeed is her BFF Jessica Jung who can either solve things or make them worse
"You're right...I'm so sorry..." Tiffany said
"Well, you should be...but not to me..."
Tiffany knew exactly who Jessica was talking about
First she fell hard for Taeyeon, she dated Taeyeon, she married him, she was selfish to
him, she didn't consider what he was going through in work and made a mental note in
her mind that Taeyeon didn't care for her anymore, she cheated on Taeyeon and hurt
him until he ran away just not to see her.
As the cold realization sank in Tiffany grimaced
The feeling of fear in the bit of her stomach had become stronger
There is a big possibility that Taeyeon would ask for divorce and Tiffany knew that she
will never be ready for something like that

"Taeyeon...no...no...I need to make it up for him...I just have to..."

Tiffany clenched her hair imagining a life without Taeyeon or more pacifistically a living
hell of guilt because she will always live with the thought that she hurt the person she
loves the most
Tiffany snapped out of it when she felt Jessica's hand tighten on her shoulder
"Well this is all I can do, pull you up , cheer for you and wish you good luck"
Jessica said getting up and walked to the door
"I hope you learned something from this Tiff..."
Jessica pressed the button that opened the elevator door and turned back to Tiffany for
the last time
"You know where to find him, I suggest you get your ass up and get to him as fast as
possible...talk it out...show him that you really care...and let's not show him that by
cheating this time''
Jessica closed the elevator door with a sarcastic smile on her face leaving Tiffany
staring at the closed elevator door lost in thought
What is he doing right now ?
Is he eating well ?
Is he getting enough rest ?
He must be really lonely right now just like me
"I'm sorry TaeTae...I miss you" Tiffany mumbled with a new tear sliding down Tiffany's
cheek

She hoped that somehow Taeyeon would hear her

She hoped that Taeyeon would stay strong and wait for her

"Hyung..." Yoona called out for Taeyeon who's sitting on the side of the sink with only
boxers looking down at the marbled floor
"Hyung...please talk to me" Yoona who's also only in his boxers hugged Taeyeon who is
by now a skeleton
Yoona cried
Seeing his older brother's fit body turn into a skeleton wasn't really something he
wanted to see
Also not hearing his voice for so long makes Yoona on edge

Taeyeon appears to have developed some sort of a selective mutism because of the
emotional shock and doesn't seem able to talk right now and Yoona who was basically
raised by his older brother had it the hardest
Taeyeon has always been there for him since he was born
The time when he tripped on the side walk and scrapped his knee, Taeyeon was there
to take care of the wound and bought him cotton candy afterwards
The time when he got bullied in the park when he was 5 Taeyeon was there to defend
him
The time when Taeyeon bought him ice cream the day he got hit in kindergarten
The time when he got his allowance stolen on his first day of school Taeyeon got his
money back and avenged him
Those were just childhood memories for Yoona but as they both grew up Taeyeon didn't
stop taking care of him
But now seeing him like this...
It's hard
But Yoona has to stay strong and take care of Taeyeon
After all what kind of brother will he be if he isn't there when Taeyeon needed him ?
Yoona pulled out from Taeyeon's body when he felt Taeyeon's hand on the back of his
neck
When he looked at Taeyeon's tired eyes he felt so guilty for not knowing what Taeyeon
is feeling right now and for not being able to share these feelings with him and just
resulted of him crying more

But his tears were wiped away as always by none other than Taeyeon
Whenever Yoona cried Taeyeon was there to wipe his tears even if Taeyeon was the
one who needed someone to wipe his own
Yoona can understand what Taeyeon was trying to say with that painful expression on
his face
Don't cry
Who knew how painful taking a bath is
Yoona knew that Tiffany will be here anytime soon and he had to make a mental note
not to murder the girl when his eyes land on her
He still remembers that day clearly in his mind
That day back in forth grade when he was 10 and Taeyeon was 17 in his second year of
high school
Taeyeon came to his soccer game holding hands with a pretty girl and introduced her
as Tiffany Hwang, My Girlfriend
At first he thought that Tiffany was cool because she has an American name and
actually came back from America, she was really pretty and suited his brother very well
But eventually he got jealous of her because Taeyeon smiled the brightest when he
talked about her
It's not like Taeyeon neglected him or anything
It's just that Yoona felt like he was giving his brother away but eventually all those
feelings were gone when he saw how nice Tiffany really is and how she asked Taeyeon
to take him with them on dates sometimes

He remembers how happy Taeyeon was when Tiffany came all the from Seoul to
Jeonju just because she forgot to give him his birthday present
That's when he realized that Tiffany wasn't there to take his brother away
She was there to give Taeyeon the happiness he very much deserved
He liked Tiffany
And she only grew in hi eyes when she introduced him to her cousin when he started
middle school
Seohyun was Tiffany's cousin name which is now his lovely girlfriend
He trusted Tiffany
And she broke that trust so easily
Taeyeon already forgave her but it will sure take a while for him to trust her with his
brother again
"Hyung...I'm done..." Yoona said as he finished washing Taeyeon's back
Taeyeon as expected didn't say anything and just got up and followed Yoona out of the
bath into the dressing room where Yoona would help him put on his clothes and brush
his silky brown hair after drying it
"...Your hair got a little longer..." Yoona said after he was done brushing Taeyeon's hair
Taeyeon looked up at the mirror for the first time in a while and noticed how his hair
indeed got a little longer

His skin looks awful and his eyes look puffy

Over all Taeyeon looks like death right now
He glanced at Yoona's face in the mirror
Oh how worried he looked

He almost looked just like Taeyeon

He wanted to ask Yoona if he has been eating
He wanted to ask him if he has been sleeping well
But his voice didn't come out when he opened his mouth
His body got hot
He started sweating and suddenly he's feeling nervous and scared
This is what Tiffany did to him
No...
He can't blame Tiffany for everything
He did this to himself by loving her too much
He only fell into this misery because he feels so much for Tiffany
And the worst part is that he doesn't regret falling for her, after all Tiffany is the best
thing that ever happened in his life
If he get the chance to turn back time and choose someone else he wouldn't change a
thing
He would still choose Tiffany and that fact sadden him
He can't feel anything for anyone else
It's just like his heart is dead to everyone but Tiffany
Taeyeon suddenly chuckled sadly which grabbed Yoona's attention
So this is what it feels when a heart dies

It really feels like you are dead to the world

Taeyeon thought and leaned his head back to the armchair where he stared up at
Yoona
Taeyeon was smiling softly which bought Yoona to tears again
''Hyung...''
Yoona leaned down and pressed his forehead to Taeyeon's and felt Taeyeon's hand
going up and patting his hair gently as he used to do
When Yoona leaned up again and looked at Taeyeon's face he smiled and the tears
that came out from sadness and hurt turned into tears of happiness
Just because the look on Taeyeon's face changed
The look in his eyes didn't look as blank as it first was
It shined and looked hopeful
His smile wasn't forced and hurtful
It was sincere and somewhat happy ?
Instead of a painful expression that said Don't cry Taeyeon's eyes are now saying
something else
I'm Okay
Taeyeon knew he will be okay soon
He just needs time to organize his thoughts, know what to say to Tiffany when he see
her and most importantly how in the heavens he's going to face her
He doesn't know what kind of look he should give her and how he's going to talk to her

Talk to her ?
How is he going to talk to her if he's stuck like this ?
He needs to do better, try harder and get stronger if he's going to make Tiffany his again
Taeyeon stood up from the armchair and looked at himself again in the mirror
What women would want a man with a skeleton like body and a ghost like face
He needs to snap out of it and get back up again and show Tiffany that he isn't that
weak of a man that she could play with his feelings like that
By the time he sees Tiffany again he has to be up on his own and stronger than ever
And he has to do it the right way
"Hyung, let's go to the field"
Taeyeon turned back and looked at Yoona face to face for the first time in a while
He wanted to ask why but he couldn't find his voice again
"I miss playing soccer with you, will you come with me"
Taeyeon looked at Yoona with a poker face for a moment before smiling and held
Yoona's hand
Yoona also smiled widely and let himself be led by Taeyeon to the storage and out of
the house then down to the field where only a bright flash was lighting up the field in the
dark
Yoona wore his gloves and cracked his neck as he stood in front of the goal with a
smirk on his face
It's been a while since he and Taeyeon stood like that face to face in a soccer field

Taeyeon was standing right in front of him spinning the ball on one finger then put it on
the ground ready to shoot
Taeyeon needed to let this out
He needed to let out all the anger, sadness and hurt he has been feeling and he has to
do it the right way
And what better way to do it than playing soccer with his little brother ?
Taeyeon kicked the ball with the scene of Tiffany and that other guy on his bed like he
saw them for the first time
The ball went through the goal right beside Yoona's head
Yoona looked back a little scared of the strength the ball held
The second time Taeyeon hit the ball the scene of Tiffany lying to him flashed through
his mind
And again the ball went right through the goal with more strength than before
The third time Taeyeon kicked the ball he remembered The sneaky phone calls Tiffany
had when they were in the mall
The ball went right through the goal
By now Yoona was just trying to avoid the strong kicks Taeyeon was shooting
The forth time Taeyeon kicked the ball he remembered his phone call with Tiffany back
in Ohio
it went right through the goal again

The fifth time Taeyeon kicked the ball he remembered seeing Tiffany kiss the guy in
their parking lot
All those bad memories he will remember for the rest of his life
He's saying goodbye to the pains it bought him and hurt it caused him
That was the moment when Taeyeon swore to himself he will never let another guy
touch Tiffany in that kind of way and stay quite about it ever again
At that night Taeyeon was finally able to sleep with the thought that everything is going
to be better
He's going to settle this with Tiffany when she comes
Once and for all

Rejected
It's a new morning
After having a good night sleep for the first time in a very long time Taeyeon finally has
an appetite to eat something
He sat down with his family on the dining table for the first time since he arrived which
caused the four of his family members to forget their food and just watch him eat like he
hadn't ate for weeks which is true
His mom kept on refilling his plate while his dad nodded in approval
Yoona and Seohyun couldn't help it but grin and place their silverware down and just
watch Taeyeon eat again

Taeyeon still didn't talk but the look on his face changed
He started expressing him self and what he's trying to say though his face expression
and he actually started smiling again
Although he isn't back to his cheerful dorky self yet but at least he has stepped out of
the zombie phase for now
As days went by Taeyeon only got better and better
Now he doesn't need Yoona to take care of his personal stuff any more but instead he
pulled Yoona in the bath one night with a smile and washed his back for him
There was this one time when he sat in the middle of the living room with Seohyun and
did her nails for her and it looked gorgeous as if it's the most natural thing for him to do
One evening after dinner he sat with his dad in front of the TV as Minjong sipped beer
while he pretended that the bottle of apple soda in his hand is beer like the one his dad
was drinking
He also didn't forget to help his mom with the house work every now and then
He goes out with Yoona and Seohyun every afternoon where he and Yoona would
teach Seohyun how to play soccer
Taeyeon didn't know how many days went by but he knew one thing for sure
He isn't ready to see Tiffany yet
Although he's getting better Mentally and Emotionally, he isn't anywhere near better
physically
Unbeknown to Taeyeon, Yoona and Seohyun has been taking secret photos and videos
of him and sending them to his friends

Right now Tiffany didn't need to hear how Taeyeon is doing

She needed to see it for herself
She needed to see what she has done
One morning Tiffany woke up feeling lighter than usual and decided that it's time to go
and see Taeyeon
Although she doesn't know how she's going to face him but she has to
Not seeing him or hearing from him is killing her and the calls she's getting from Jessica
and Sunny to go and meet with Taeyeon aren't making things any better
She freshened up, did her hair and dressed up
She didn't pack anything and just got in her car with her phone and wallet
Through out the whole 4 hours Tiffany drove to Jeonju she kept thinking the same thing
she has been thinking for the past few weeks
How will face him ?
*sigh*
As she parked her car in front of the Kim's farm gate she inhaled and exhaled over and
over again
Taeyeon is right behind these bars
She got out of the car and straightened her clothes before pressing the bell located next
to the big gate
Tiffany saw the red light of the camera go green which means that somebody inside of
this land is looking at her right now but no answer came at all

She didn't say anything and just stared at the camera

The light turned red again and the gate slowly opened in front of Tiffany
Tiffany walked inside the land knowing her way to the big house in the middle of the
farm as she already have came here several times before
Every step she took she feels that her heartbeat increases
She was sweating so much and her breath hitched when she saw a figure walking to
her from the direction of the house
"Unnie!!"
Tiffany relaxed when she realized it's Seohyun who's running to her right now
The two engulfed into a tight hug and Tiffany caressed Seohyun's hair to rest assured
"You finally came unnie..."
Seohyun mumbled and pulled away from the hug to look at Tiffany's face
"You don't look too good unnie"
Seohyun said as she touched Tiffany's pale, dry face knowing exactly why her cousin is
looking like that right now
"I know...I must look horrible right now..." Tiffany chuckled and looked down
Seohyun chuckled too and held Tiffany's hand leading her back inside the house
"But you know Unnie...there is someone who's looking worse right now..."
Tiffany looked up at Seohyun with shock visible on her face but before she could say
anything a voice interrupted her
"Aigoo, if it isn't Fany..."

Tiffany looked up to see one of the people she has been shivering at the thought of
meeting again in such a situation
Taeyeon's mom aka Kim Hyesoo, one of the strongest business women in Korea
or was one of the strongest as she retired a few years back
"H...Hi...mum..." Tiffany was so scared right now
Taeyeon's mom has been nothing but a great mother figure to Tiffany since the very
beginning and has been nothing but kind and helpful to her in everything but right now
Tiffany has done something horrible and hurt her son badly
Tiffany didn't know what kind of reaction she would get from Hyesoo but she had
already prepared herself for a bad reaction or worse...get kicked out...
"Sit down...I will be back in a minute" Hyesoo smiled gently and left the room confusing
the shit out of Tiffany
Is that how a mother treats someone who hurt her son ?
Honestly Tiffany has seen how a tigress protects her children before and she's terrified
of what Hyesoo's reaction will be
"How was your trip ?" Hyesoo said placing the refreshment and took a seat right next to
Tiffany and held her hand with both hands just like always
"It...was okay...'' Tiffany was sweating bricks right now getting ready for the what's
coming next
"So what brings you here ?" Hyesoo asked
"I..,I'm here to talk to Taeyeon...and hopefully he will come back to Seoul with me...''
Tiffany put on a determined look on her face

Hyesoo didn't look too please by Tiffany's answer and took a deep breath before
opening her mouth
"...Thank you for coming..."
?
?.....??...??????
"What...?" Tiffany questioned looking right at Hyesoo
"Honestly I thought you forgot about Taeyeon...but you seem to still care for him..."
Tiffany was way too confused at this point
"It's been sometime since Taeyeon came back here and you didn't bother to come get
him so I thought he made the wrong choice in a girl...but I'm glad that you didn't turn out
to be like that..." Hyesoo smiled
"You're not...angry ?"
Hyesoo glared which froze Tiffany at her place
"I was angry...you dare cheat on my Taeyeon..."
Tiffany immediately looked down in guilt
Of course she was angry, what kind of question is that, why did she even ask that
question ?
"But Taeyeon has already forgave you so I have no reason to be angry other than the
fact that his weight has dropped to less than half it used to be" Hyesoo's glare right now
could pierce a wall

"I should have taught you how to cook before the wedding, shouldn't I ?" Hyesoo clicked
her tongue
"Anyways, you're here to fix things and that's pretty admirable if I may say, you are not
giving up, you're actually here to fight aren't you ?" Tiffany blushed and nodded slowly
as Hyesoo was right on spot
Honestly Tiffany has came here ready to fight to get to Taeyeon even if she has to do it
physically
"How was dad ?" Tiffany asked after getting Hyesoo out of the picture
''Actually you shouldn't be worrying about neither me or Minjong, the person you should
beware of is Yoong''
Tiffany already knew it
She knew that the hardest person to get through is going to be Yoona
He and Taeyeon had a special bond with each other that even she didn't understand
sometimes
Taeyeon was everything to Yoona and Tiffany dared to make a huge scratch on
Taeyeon's heart
Yoona is out there to get her
The image of the tigress protecting her children flashed through her mind again
resulting to a shiver running down her spine
"May I know where Taeyeon is right now ?" Tiffany asked
"He just went out with Yoona earlier" Hyesoo said pointing at the back of the house
So Taeyeon isn't here right now

Tiffany felt a mix of emotions

One of them was relief because she didn't have to face him right now and another one
was disappointment because she wouldn't be able to see his face that she's missing so
much
"Oh...Fany...you finally came..." A familiar voice called for her from the back
Tiffany knew exactly who that voice belonged to but she had to turn back to make sure
she got it right which she indeed did as it turned out to be Taeyeon's dad aka Kim
Minjong the biggest business tycoon of Korea or used to be
Tiffany immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Minjong
"Hello dad!!" Tiffany greeted flustered which only made Minjong laugh
''Don't be so uptight I'm not gonna eat you"
Tiffany was honestly going to ask You're not ? but thankfully she was able to bite her
tongue before anything stupid like that comes out of her mouth
"What took you so long ?" Minjong asked as he slowly walked closer to Tiffany
'I...I didn't know how to face any of you..." Tiffany looked down in guilt again
"Oh...look who's shying away right now" Minjong chuckled and patted Tiffany's hair
"Well you're here right now and hopefully you have prepared your self for a punishment"
Minjong sad which made Tiffany stand on thin ice
"'Hahaha, I'm only joking...but I don't know about Yoona though" Minjong's laugh turned
into a bitter smile
Tiffany couldn't take this

Honestly being scolded and kicked out would be way better than getting forgiven and a
pat on the shoulder
"Why...why aren't you too saying anything to me ? I have hurt Taeyeon badly and dared
to show up in front of you again but you forgive me ?" Tiffany asked with tears blurring
her vision
Minjong and Hyesoo looked at each other before looking back at Tiffany
"Fany...sit down" Minjong said and she obliged
"I want you to know that the anger I have felt towards what you did is nothing compared
to how proud I am of you because you actually dared to come here after all that and it's
not like you're here to make things worse but to the better...hopefully..." Minjong said
trying to put Tiffany on ease
"But I don't deserve this! I don't deserve to be forgiven!! I would rather get treated like
shit for doing this to Taeyeon than be forgiven for everything" Tiffany was seriously
about to cry but she held it in
She didn't feel it was right for her to cry when she wasn't the one who got hurt
"Well you're the one who choose this path, you have to accept the consequence if they
were either good or bad" Hyesoo said with a serious expression on her face
It was just too much for Tiffany
The guilt only got worse and the fear in her the bit of her stomach got heavier and tears
started streaming out
"I don't deserve this!!" Tiffany covered her face
Seohyun scooted closer to Tiffany and put an arm around her

"Unnie..." Seohyun didn't know what to say

It hurt her when she knew that Tiffany cheated on Taeyeon
It hurt more when she saw how Taeyeon came to be
And the pain is only getting worse as she's watching Tiffany cry in front of her
How did that happy and cute couple became like this ?
"We're back!" The sound of a door opening got their attention
Tiffany immediately stood up and watched the corridor in anticipation
Any moment now
"You!!"
How ever the person who came out of the corridor wasn't Taeyeon but Yoona
Yoona pointed at her and immediately stomped until he was standing right in front of
her
"You actually dare to show your face after what you did ?!" Yoona yelled at Tiffany's
face
"Yoona!! calm down..." Yoona immediately backed off a little when he heard his dad's
stern voice
His chest went up and down, his face got red and if looks could kill Tiffany would be
murdered mercilessly right now
"What are you doing here ? do you know how much you hurt hyung ?! do you really
think I would ever let you see him again after what you've done ?!"

Seohyun immediately went to Yoona's side and held his arm trying to calm him down a
little
"Yoona, where is Taeyeon ?" Minjong asked with a stern tone
"He's changing in his room'' Yoona said with a low voice
"I'm sorry..." Tiffany said to Yoona and shut her eyes tightly as tears continued to come
out of them
Yoona clench his teeth and fist as hard as he can't as an attempt to control his anger
"Oppa, please calm down" Yoona had never been this angry his whole life
He almost looked ready to murder
"Go get him..." Minjong said
"What...?" Yoona asked lowly
"I said go get him..." Minjong repeated more sternly
"You want me to get hyung to meet her?!" Yoona turned to his dad and asked with
shock visible in his voice
"Yes...she's here to talk to him and hopefully make things better..." Minjong said calmly
Yoona glanced at Tiffany with a glare that made Tiffany wonder
If this is Yoona's reaction how the hell will Taeyeon react to her ?
"I'm going to get him now...if you dare to make hyung cry anymore...I will be sure to take
care of you myself" Yoona said before leaving
Yoona's threat was unneeded

After all she already swore to her self that she will never ever make Taeyeon cry tears
of sadness and hurt ever again
"Seohyunie...take Fany to the living room" Hyesoo said as she followed Minjong out of
the lounge
Seohyun did as she was told and led Tiffany to the living room where she handed
Tiffany tissues and sat next to her
"Unnie...please don't hurt Taeyeon oppa anymore...he doesn't deserve it" Seohyun said
before she left the living room
Tiffany's mind is in state of panic right now
She's going to meet with Taeyeon any moment now and she has no idea how she's
going to face him
As she sat there she wondered what would Taeyeon look like right now
Right now seeing Taeyeon's beautiful and cute smile is one of her dreams
Her heart beat is increasing by the second and her palms are sweaty
Taeyeon...Taeyeon...Taeyeon...
Taeyeon is all she could think about
Tiffany immediately stood up when she saw the door knob turn around slowly
This is it
"Too bad it's not Taeyeon hyung, huh ?" It wasn't Taeyeon who entered the room but
instead it was Yoona again with a sarcastic look on his face

"W...Where is Taeyeon ?" Tiffany hesitated at first but asked as she watched Yoona's
every move as he sat beside her
"He's still in his room" Yoona said nonchalantly which made Tiffany more confused
She was about to open her mouth and ask why is Taeyeon still in his room but Yoona
beat her to it
"He says he doesn't want to meet you"
What Yoona said was like a knife had been stabbed into her chest and got rotated
around
Taeyeon doesn't want to meet her
He doesn't want to see her and she doesn't blame him for not wanting to
Her breath hitched
She could hear her heart pound in her ears
She glanced up at Yoona's poker face as she felt a new rush of tears tickle her eyes
She immediately covered her face not wanting Yoona to see any of it but she just had to
look up again when she heard Yoona's shaky voice
"Why did you do it ?" Yoona asked with a red face but this time not from anger
"Why did you cheat ? there must be a reason, what did hyung do wrong ?" Yoona held
her hand
"It's not completely your fault for cheating...there must be something hyung did wrong to
make you do it...what happened ?" Yoona asked
Tiffany only closed her wet eyes tightly and shook her head furiously

Tiffany couldn't tell Yoona her pathetic reason, it wasn't valid, it wasn't good enough
''He didn't do anything wrong did he ?" Yoona asked with tears on his cheeks
His hyung got hurt unfairly
"Did you really have to resort to cheating ?" Yoona held Tiffany's hand tighter as he
clenched his teeth and also closed his stinging eyes
"Was it really worth all of this ?"
No
What she did only bought sadness, pain and broken trust to Taeyeon
"Hyung might have already forgiven you, mom and dad will go with whatever hyung
choose...I have no other choice but to do it too because it's not my place to be angry
with you...*inhale*...but you have to promise me...*sniff*...that you will take good care of
hyung after this...you have to promise that you will never hurt him again...you absolutely
have to...other wise I won't be able to look at you for the rest of my life..."
Yoona paused and looked down for a moment trying to take a proper breath
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry, I'm sorry I promise"
"I don't want the only happiness hyung has in his life to turn into hell...please...he needs
you...if it weren't for that..."
Yoona couldn't continue any more
He stood up pulling Tiffany up with him and stormed out of the living room to the big
ceiling to ground window that showcased the beautiful view of their farm

Tiffany's eyes widened and she had to put a hand on her mouth to stop any possible
scream from coming out as her eyes drank in the figure standing under the shadow of a
tree
There was a tiny fragile looking boy with pale skin wearing thin clothes that revealed his
skin under it
The boy looked so weak and tired Tiffany felt sorry for him
But then when she looked at his face the cold realization hit her
That boy was Taeyeon
She did this to Taeyeon
She drove him to this point
Tiffany wanted to run away from there as soon as possible
She didn't want to see Taeyeon like that and if her disappearance like that would make
him any better she will gladly disappear right this moment
Tiffany couldn't bare to see him like that any more and ran out of the house and out of
the farm to her car
Her presence near him right now will only make it worse
Tiffany choose the wrong time to see Taeyeon
But next time she comes she will probably talk to him
Make it up for him
And just turn these hellish times into good times again

Memories
After Tiffany ran away Yoona took a seat back on the couch and tried to regain his
normal breath again
When he was finally positive that he looks okay he got up and went to the back where
Taeyeon is now sitting down under the same tree
"She's gone...are you sure hyung ?" Yoona said as he sat down next to Taeyeon
Taeyeon looked at him with a poker face and nodded
Earlier on when he was about to go out with Yoona their bell rang
That was extremely rare so he went to check who it was only to see the face he has
been missing for so long
He almost fell back on the floor and didn't know what to do
Thank god for Seohyun who was right next to him when he buzzed the gate open
He immediately went out of the house through the back door grabbing the clueless
Yoona with him
Through out their walk Taeyeon felt like his blood dried out
Tiffany is right there back in the house probably wanting to meet him
He isn't ready
Not now at least
Not with how he looks and his incapability of muttering a word

So instead of going right in the lounge and facing her he let Yoona do it and he ran
away up to his bedroom
Hiding
That's all he want to do right now
He wants to hide away from her
He's just getting better and Taeyeon knew that if he saw Tiffany right now he will surely
breakdown again
He just sat on his bed shivering for some reason
He waited...and waited...and waited more until he heard the sound of his door knob
turning
He was so scared that it would be Tiffany but thank goodness it was just Yoona
"Hyung...Fany noona is down stairs..." Yoona said as he sat next to Taeyeon on the bed
''She's here to talk and make things better...she says..."
Make things better ?
No no no
Seeing her right now will only make things worse
"Will you come down with me ?" Yoona asked and Taeyeon immediately scooted further
to the corner of the bed hold on to the bed sheets
The idea of seeing Tiffany right now terrified him and thankfully Yoona didn't push it and
understood Taeyeon

"Should I tell her that you don't wanna see her ?" Yoona stood up and let out a deep
sight when Taeyeon nodded aggressively
"Hyung, go outside for a while...take a breath...you don't look too good" Yoona said and
he smiled a little when Taeyeon after pausing a little gave out a another nod and stood
up with him
He watched as Yoona stepped in the living room where Tiffany is probably sitting there
expecting him
He did as Yoona advised and went out through the back door and took shed from the
sun under the nearest tree
He started thinking
Knowing Tiffany, there are two reaction he's expecting from her
One, is that she will insist on seeing him and succeed in doing it
And two, is that she will understand and will go for now
It's probably the latter but...Taeyeon didn't think he can say that he knows her anymore
He thought he knew her, he knew he knew her...but apparently he was wrong
The Tiffany he knew wouldn't have done what she did
When Yoona came and sat next to him and told him that Tiffany indeed did leave he felt
some sense of relief
For the rest of the day he sat there and remembered
He remembered everything of his relationship with Tiffany from the start until now

It was back in 11th grade when a cute girl transferred to their class in the middle of the
semester
At first Taeyeon didn't pay much attention to the girl
She was simply just a classmate he barely exchanged two or three words with when the
teacher asked her to gather their homework
At the start of the second semester they had to change seats after drawing a number
randomly from a box and guess who got to sit next to each other ?
Correct, it's Taeyeon and Tiffany
In The first week Taeyeon admired Tiffany's beauty
In The second week he admired her intelligence
In The third week he admired her cute and charming personality
In The fourth week he admitted to him self that he has a crush on this pretty girl next to
him
But the problem was that Taeyeon had no confident at all
He was the shortest in class
His skin was the palest in the whole school instead of a cool tan like the other guys
He wasn't in any sport teams but instead he liked to go to the library and read adventure
books
Not to forget his baby face that until now looks like he never hit puberty
He thought that Tiffany was completely out of his league

But Taeyeon didn't give up and he's glad that he didn't because when he decided to
court Tiffany...she didn't seem to dislike it at all
In fact she seemed to enjoy the sudden attention Taeyeon was giving her
Eventually they got together
They went on dates every weekend just like any normal couple
They went from and to school together everyday
They wouldn't go to sleep before hearing each others voice on the phone
Taeyeon's favorite time was when they used to go to the local library and they would
each grab a book and sit in front of each other exchanging secret glances and play
footsys
Taeyeon was completely head over heels for her
They were your typical high school sweet hearts
They maintained an amazing relationship
High school ended
Collage ended
They started living together
Each had their own work
Taeyeon's parents finally retired and went back to Jeonju to their farm passing over the
company to Taeyeon while Tiffany got the opportunity to work in the comfort of home for
a big company
Their time together was so sweet

Taeyeon remembers one of their most memorable nights together when they went to
the beach in the middle of the night to enjoy some wine and cheese under candle lights
and the big full moon light and the beautiful stars with the relaxing sound of the waves
crashing agents each other in the background, they staid up the whole night sweet
talking and exchange sweet addicting kisses every now and then until sunrise
It was one of the most romantic nights they ever had
One day when they were 24 Taeyeon finally built up enough courage and asked Tiffany
to marry him
Taeyeon felt like the luckiest man in the world to get to merry his wonderful first love
At that time Taeyeon wasn't that pressured on his days in the office
It started slow but then it got too much to the point when one time he didn't see Tiffany
for a whole week
Despite missing her to death he thought everything was fine
For six whole months he thought that everything was fine
There didn't seem to be anything odd or weird or extraordinary about how they
interacted when they could
Until that night accord
That night when he witnessed the love of his life sleeping with another man on their bed
That fateful night that almost drove him insane if not for the support people surrounding
him gave he would have already went insane long ago
Taeyeon thank god every day and every night for giving him such family and such
friends surrounding him

For the rest of that day Taeyeon kept having weird flashbacks
Maybe it was because of too much free time
Maybe it was because he wasn't mentally stable
Or maybe because he saw Tiffany standing at their door today
But thanks to those flashbacks Taeyeon now knows what to do
He wanted to be a little selfish for the first time in his life
He will definitely get Tiffany back
He will definitely get his happiness back
Cheating or whatsoever
Tiffany married him for a reason
That reason was because she loved him
If drifting away turned the flame down a little bit than he should just turn it back up
After all he is the great Kim Taeyeon
The man who can do anything if he wanted to
But first he really needs to get his shit together

By evening Tiffany has already reached Seoul

She had to stop the car on the side way every now and than to wipe her tears and calm
her self before resuming her way back
It was a dangerous ride indeed but she managed to arrive safely to their penthouse
As soon as she got inside she didn't even bother to take her coat or shoes off and
immediately ran to the bedroom where she laid on the bed for the whole night thinking
of Taeyeon and the scene of seeing how fragile and petite he became replayed in her
mind all night long that she didn't even get a wink of sleep
When she got out of bed the next morning she started roaming around the house
looking for something
Something that reminded her of Taeyeon
Taeyeon hadn't stepped foot in this penthouse for a long time
His scent that used to linger on his side of the bed is now gone
The only thing that reminded her that she and Taeyeon were once a happy couple were
the things Taeyeon left behind
His neatly folded and hanged clothes in the closet, his personal laptop that has been
sitting on the coffee table in the living room connected to the charger since forever, his
blue tooth brush next to her pink one in the bathroom, the shoes that are neatly placed

inside the cabinet next to her heels, his hair brush, his cologne that he bought but never
used, his Dave minion mug, his half eaten candy bar that has been sitting on the dining
table for who knows how long and now ants are all over it..
She really should clean that up..
When she closes her eyes she can see shadows of Taeyeon
She remembers how happy they used to be
When she wakes up late and would go out to the living room only to see the back of
Taeyeon's head as he works on his laptop and turn around and smile at her when he
sense her presence
When he would leave her romantic notes every now and then
He sends her flowers a lot and act clueless when she asks him about it
She remembers that time she messed up with the washing machine and the laundry
room ended up in a sea of bubbles by the time he got back from work, he laughed at
her and helped her clean up
That time when she tried to pull out a plate from under and ended up breaking all the
plates they had in that cabinet, again he laughed at her, cleaned up for her and took her
to buy a prettier new set of plates
There was also that time she forgot to put his Ice Cream in the freezer and it all ended
up melting, Taeyeon loved his Ice Cream but instead of getting mad he again grabbed
her hand and they went on a midnight grocery shopping date with fabulous matching
hoodies
Although one of Tiffany's favorite moments ever was when Taeyeon woke her up on a
cold autumn morning and took her on an outing to a beautiful park where the leafs just

turned to yellow, orange and red and they took a walk under them locking arms and had
a warm relaxing talk while sipping on costa hot chocolate and watched the leafs fall on
their duffle coats
Taeyeon is the best husband you could ever imagine
Through out their whole relationship Taeyeon only made one mistake which is not being
there when needed for the last few months only
But she made the biggest mistake by choosing to cheat instead of talking it out with him
Tiffany would rather die than give up this man that she hurt him beyond belief
And she knows she has to work for it

A few days later Tiffany visited The Kim's land again seeking Taeyeon
Unfortunately Taeyeon refused to meet her again
She continued visiting over and over again almost everyday

But every time she would go back to Seoul with not even a glimpses of Taeyeon
She didn't know or see how much better he is getting day by day
His dark circles are almost gone, his skin looks as beautiful and fair as before and he
gained a little bit of his weight back although there was no improvement with his
incapability of speaking his overall complexion kept on getting better and better
After a few weeks of Tiffany's usuall visits he started opening his curtains to see her
leaving the farm through the trail surrounded by trees
Her lovely figure never failed to make Taeyeon's heart skip a beat
He had to fight the temptation of running after her and telling her that he loves her and
that he forgives her but no..
He knows that he isn't ready to sit and talk face to face with her yet
Just a little bit
A little bit more and he will be able to finally see her in front of him up close and finally
find a solution for this problem that bought hell for both of them
A few more weeks passed and Taeyeon is almost ready to face her
Almost
And finally came the day..
Taeyeon woke up this morning and the thought of seeing Tiffany didn't make his knees
weak
He knew that if he see's Tiffany now he won't brake down again
Today is the day he will finally see her up close and hear her music like voice

It's finally here and Tiffany is as always in front of their gate by 11 AM ringing the bell
hoping that she will meet Taeyeon today unbeknown to her that today is the her tries
finally succeeded and she's actually meeting Taeyeon today
Taeyeon was sitting in the living room face palming and thinking over how he will get his
point through to Tiffany when Yoona and Seohyun went over to the front gate to
personally let Tiffany in the Kim's property
''Hi unnie !!" Seohyun welcomed her with enthusiasm which made Tiffany frown
"Did something good happen ?" She asked
"Not really, can't I greet my favorite unnie ?" Seohyun smiled
There is definitely something weird about this
In the past days Seohyun had the saddest look on her face because of all that's
happening between her and Taeyeon but today she's suddenly happy and smiley ?
But on the other hand Yoona only gave her a small smile he could gesture as if nothing
happened
''I will go call Taeyeon hyung..." Yoona said and left the two girl in the lounge
Tiffany as always sat with Seohyun in the lounge and waited in silence for Yoona to
come back and tell her that Taeyeon doesn't want to see her today either
"Unnie...don't be too upset...it will work out somehow" Seohyun said trying to comfort
the tired looking Tiffany
All Seohyun has been doing is either comfort those who needed comfort and help those
who need help
Seohyun is truly an angle

Tiffany doesn't remember how long she has been going back and forth from Seoul to
Jeonju almost everyday just in hope to be able to see Taeyeon but in the end she go's
back disappointed and Tiffany knew she was going insane soon if this keeps up
because not seeing him at all alone is making her act like a mad person
After a while Yoona came back in the lounge with a shocked expression on his face
"...Today...Hyung is..."
Yoona couldn't even continue what he was saying as both Tiffany and Seohyun stood
up with a confused look on their face
''What ? is there something wrong with Taeyeon ?" Tiffany asked as she walked closer
to Yoona who shook his head
"No...today...there is something finally right with hyung..." Yoona smiled
Tiffany titled her head to the side not understanding what Yoona is trying to tell her
"Fany noona...hyung is waiting for you in the living room..."
That was all Yoona needed to say to make Tiffany's body start shivering
Taeyeon actually wants to meet her today
He wants to see her
He is waiting for her
Tiffany took a minute to inhale and exhale in attempt to stable her breathing
She couldn't believe this
She is finally going to hear Taeyeon's voice
She is finally going to see his face

She is finally going to look at those onyx orbs and they would look back right at her
again
All that waiting
All that pain
All those tears
Today might be the end of it all, she might hold Taeyeon's hand again, hold Taeyeon's
body between her arms again, inhale his addicting scent and kiss those sugary lips
Today might be the day...
That's what her heart told her
But her brain was telling her something else
Today might be the day of the end of her and Taeyeon
The end of everything they have gone through together and the end of every single
memory they shared together
For all she know he might push her away
He might slap her hand not to touch him and tell her to stay the hell away from him and
that he never want to see her ever again in his life and honestly she doesn't blame him
if he really did that cause she deserves it
Today might be the day she finally get what she deserves of bitter words and unruly
treatment
With shaky footsteps and a pounding heart Tiffany followed behind Yoona's and
Seohyun's footsteps to the living room where Taeyeon is waiting for her

When they finally arrived Yoona and Seohyun stepped back and left her in front of the
door
She reached out for the door knob with a shaky hand and gripped it
She already committed herself on this
For better or for worse
There is only one way to find out
*click*
\

Forgiven
'I hope everything is going well..."
Yoona muttered as he stared at the bright sky
At this moment Taeyeon and Tiffany are together in the same room for the first time
since...two months ?
After watching Tiffany enter the room Yoona and Seohyun made their way out to the
back where they sat in silence on a bench
Both of them lost in their own thoughts
This could only go right or go wrong
If it went wrong they could grantee that the 9 year relationship between Taeyeon and
Tiffany would be over
Oh how pathetic it would be if it really ended this way

A question they asked them selves everyday

How did it become like this ?
For all they know the big reason for this to happen was the inconsideration and
miscommunication that happened between Taeyeon and Tiffany
Taeyeon thought everything was alright and didn't consider what Tiffany might feel
Tiffany wasn't alright. she felt anxious and did not consider Taeyeon's circumstances
That anxiety prevented her from communicating with him probably
Therefore the relationship was ruined long before Tiffany even cheated and it was only
half her fault
Taeyeon carried the other half
He started all of this mess
He chose work over his own wife even though it was painful for him as well
What remained of their relationship was the love they had for each other and the trust
If it continued like that it was only a matter of time before that trust broke and that love
turned into something else
And it happened that there was someone beside Tiffany when she felt on edge. It just
happened that it was the wrong person
Trust Broken
But is the love ruined as well ?

*click*
The door closed slowly on it's own as Tiffany made her way inside not removing her
eyes from the figure in front of her
"Hi..." Tiffany said
She even tried to smile but that smile just wont go up
How could she ever smile seeing Taeyeon looking like this ?
Although he's looking a lot better than she last saw him
Taeyeon who was standing in front of a desk turned to her and looked at her sideways
with no emotions whatsoever while holding a big notebook between his hands and a
marker
"It's been a while" Tiffany said this time she managed to pull up a little smile but the
emotionless look on Taeyeon's face didn't change
"Soyou knowabout me" Tiffany cursed herself mentally at the way she started the
conversation
"I'm sorry" Tiffany said tearing up a little

"I'm really sorryI'm so sorry that I can't even tell you how sorry I amI didn't mean for
it to escalate this wayI was so lonely and I felt horrible and you weren't there and I
know that's not a good enough reason for what I didbutyou know ?...It's not entirely
my fault and you know itbut I was an idiot for not talking about it with you before
rushing into anythingIt was stupidI'm sorry"
After blurting all that out Tiffany took a breath and closed her eyes tightly letting the
tears go down freely
"Please talk to me" Tiffany said after not hearing a single word from Taeyeon and
seeing his unchanging expression
"Please don't do this to me..." Tiffany mumbled under her breath and took a step closer
to Taeyeon
Taeyeon finally took his emotionless eyes off her and struggled with the big notebook in
his hand and flipped a few pages
Tiffany looked at him confused as he seemed to look for something in the notebook
When Taeyeon was done with what he was writing he showed the notebook to Tiffany
I can't talk
Okay, now Tiffany is more confused but everything cleared up when Taeyeon flipped
the page
I can't talk temporarily because of the emotional shock
Tiffany dropped down on the floor squatting with a hand on her mouth to prevent any
possible scream from coming out
"What have I done..." Tiffany closed her eyes and cried

Right now it's Taeyeon's turn to look at Tiffany with sympathy

She caused him this and she's guilty as hell
That's all he wanted
He just wanted her to realize how much she really hurt him
How much she actually hurt their relationship
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I love you...I really do..." Tiffany muttered between sobs and sniffs
She glanced up at Taeyeon who now has a similar painful expression on his face but
not because he's hurting
Because Tiffany is hurting too
He knew he couldn't get through this situation without Tiffany getting hurt too
All her tears..
Oh how bad he wanted to wipe them all and never see them in those beautiful eyes
ever again. if possible he would ever rather cry them for her
How mysterious
Watching the people you love cry is more painful to Taeyeon than crying those tears
yourself
Taeyeon walked light steps to Tiffany and stood on his knees in front of her
I'm sorry I neglected you
Taeyeon flipped the page when he made sure Tiffany was looking
I didn't mean to make you feel that way

"I know...*sniff*" Tiffany nodded painfully

I should have realized that sooner
At that time I missed you so much I thought I would die
I didn't realize that if I'm feel that way than what would you be feeling then ?
I'm sorry I left you alone for all that time
I'm so sorry
I'm sorry I wasn't enough for you
Taeyeon wanted to cry
He wanted to cry so much to let all of these emotions that has been ribbing his heart
apart to not hurt as much
He wanted to cry so bad but Taeyeon has already decided, No more crying. He's done,
he's already done with it
Taeyeon wanted to say comforting words to Tiffany out loud so bad but his goddamn
vocal chords just won't listen to him
And Taeyeon knew that it was for the best. It's best if he can't comfort her right now
"I have no right to get an apology from you after what I have done, so please...don't..."
I was wrong too, I shouldn't have let work take over all of my time but you never left my
mind, I'm a bad husband
"No you're not !! I'm sorry if I made you feel like you're not good enough, it's me who's
not good enough. I cheated on you..."
Taeyeon griped hard on the marker as the last words left Tiffany's lips

He scooted away from Tiffany and placed the notebook between them
Tiffany watched as a lone tear dropped down from Taeyeon's left eye to the notebook
he's certainly writing in
That night when I saw you with him
I was excited to ask you out for dinner because I was able to finish work early
I went in our place
I called out your name
You didn't answer
I decide to check the bedroom thinking that maybe you were sleeping
How do you think I felt when I saw you on our bed with another ?
You said you loved him
I don't blame him for loving you
I tried to make it up to you
We went on a date
But you were busy texting and talking with him on the phone even though I was right
next to you
You said you wanted more attention from me
How come when I gave you that attention you didn't even look at me ?
I started praying that Mondays won't come so you won't see him when I'm away
When I called you from Ohio you were also with him

How do you think that made me feel ?

Taeyeon looked at Tiffany right in the eye
Despite the glare on his face his eyes were glistening
Tiffany put her hand on her mouth to prevent getting loud
Just imagining what Taeyeon went through made her feel sick in the stomach
He just had to find out in the worst scenario possible
"I'm so sorry Tae...I'm so sorry"
Taeyeon huffed and proceeded to write again in the notebook
Are you still meeting him ?
Tiffany immediately shook her head furiously
"I broke it off with him two days after you left'' Tiffany explained
Taeyeon had all the rights to question her and she's prepared to answer but she isn't
sure anymore that after hearing all her answers Taeyeon would still look at her the
same way
Do you love him ?
Again Tiffany shook her head
"What I felt for him is nothing compared to what I feel for you"
Then you still love me ?
"Yes!! Yes I do...more than anybody else in the whole world. I never even stopped
loving you...ever..."

Then what is it that you have with him ?

"I don't have anything to do with him anymore, he was there when I felt lonely and
frustrated...that's it..."
Tiffany was startled when Taeyeon threw the marker on the floor as hard as his petite
body could right now
The look on Taeyeon's face looked like he was ready to murder someone right now
After a few seconds Taeyeon huffed again and grabbed the marker from the floor
Then why did you sleep with him ?!
Tiffany leaned down to the floor kneeling
"I'm so sorry Tae...It was a really horrible decision and I will take responsibility for it...but
please..." Tiffany inhaled
"Don't say you will leave me..."
Taeyeon was panting
A minute ago he was ready to murder but now all the anger vanished leaving pure
sadness when he heard Leave me
He doesn't want to leave Tiffany
But...
Will it really be alright if he took her back right now ?
Of course not
How will it ever be the same anymore ?

"Please don't...please don't leave me...I need you...I love you...I'm so sorry...I wish I can
turn back time and prevent all this from happening...but I can't...I'm so sorry...please
don't leave me...please don't say divorce...please don't hate me...I'm so sorry...please
don't leave me..." Tiffany kept repeating those words over and over to the point
Taeyeon wondered if she even knew what she was saying
They stayed like that for a few minutes
Tiffany with her face on the floor and Taeyeon just glaring at her while trying to hold
back his tears
"Please don't say we're over...I'm sorry I didn't think...I was frustrated...I know it's not an
excuse...but I'm really so sorry...please don't end it like this...I will do anything...punish
me if you want but please don't leave me...just one more chance...just give us one more
chance, Taeyeon...please...I can't live without you...I'm sorry, I love you..."
Taeyeon softened up a little and held on Tiffany's shoulders to lift her off the floor
Both of them now standing on their knees with Taeyeon holding on to Tiffany's face
wiping her tears away with a small glare on his face
Tiffany searched his blank onyx eyes for assertion. but there was none at all
They stayed in that position for who knows how long
Taeyeon broke away from Tiffany and scooted to the notebook again
Tiffany swallowed as she watched Taeyeon write every letter in the white page
This could only end up with her getting a second chance or Taeyeon filing a divorce..
When Taeyeon was finally done he turned around to her and showed her the page with
a sad expression instead of the glare from earlier

I don't know where we will be in the future but I would rather spend the rest of my life
with you who betrayed me than spend it in regret and pain over letting you go and not
giving us another chance
Tiffany smiled widely and felt new tears forming in the corner of her eyes out of
happiness
"Thank you...*sigh*" Tiffany placed her forehead on Taeyeon's who's having a sense of
incredible relief wash over him
Having skin ship with Tiffany again bought back memories of that night
Upon remembering the painful memory Taeyeon found him self shivering and cowering
away from Tiffany
As if he's afraid of something
He knew he will regret this decision someday
But until that day comes he just have to enjoy every single moment of it

"OhFany's here, where is she ?" Hyesoo asked as she saw Tiffany's shoes in the
entrance but no sign of Tiffany in the lounge
"Hyung finally agreed to talk !!" Yoona said standing up with a big smile full of
enthusiasm
"What? how in the heavens"
Honestly Hyesoo thought that Taeyeon gave up on Tiffany long ago and wasn't planning
on seeing her at all after get back on his feet but it turned out she was wrong
"Really ?" Hyesoo asked in disbelief
Yoona and Seohyun followed Hyesoo who was speed walking until they reached the
door that takes to the living room and separated the lounge from the rest of the house
"Mom...what are you doing ?" Yoona asked in disbelief when he saw Hyesoo press her
ear on the door attempting to listen on Taeyeon's and Tiffany's conversation behind the
door
"Shhhhhhhh, I'm trying to listen here" Hyesoo said making Yoona chuckle
"Mom, you're acting like an old ahjimma" Yoona said making Seohyun chuckle under
her breath not wanting to offend Hyesoo
"Who are you calling an old ahjimma!?! I'm still young!!" Hyesoo said exclaiming at
Yoona
"Right...you're so young even me and Seohyun are grandpa's compared to you" Yoona
said in sarcasm

"Aish this boy I swear--" Hyesoo couldn't continue what she was about to say when the
living room door she's leaning on suddenly opened making her fall on the floor inside
the room directly on her forehead
"Aigoo aigoo my forehead..." Hyesoo said rubbing her forehead in pain
"Mom...? what are you doing ?" Hyesoo looked up upon hearing the husky voice of her
daughter in law
It was indeed Tiffany holding the door knob and looking down at her with a confused
expression
"No no this is not what it looks like!!" Hyesoo immediately stood up trying to explain her
self not wanting Tiffany to think that he was eavesdropping on them
"This is exactly what it looks like!!" Yoona and Seohyun burst out laughing at Hyesoo
after sensing that Tiffany's aura has changed drastically to the better
Tiffany only chuckled already getting the idea of what Hyesoo was trying to do although
she couldn't blame her really
"Where is Taeyeonie ? is he alright ? did you talk to him ? did you two made up ? how
did you two co--"
"Mom...*chuckle* calm down, he's alright...I think" Tiffany said stepping aside outside
the room to reveal Taeyeon who was standing right behind her with a poker face and
somehow he looked so cute staring at them with his big eyes
Hyesoo immediately launch on Taeyeon hugging him and kissing his face everywhere
while Taeyeon tried to struggle out of his mother's strong hold
"My baby!! you're okay now!! wait does that mean that you two made up ?" Hyesoo
asked looking at Tiffany while still holding Taeyeon who was struggling

Taeyeon wanted to snap at her so bad for calling him a baby, he's 26 for god's sake
"Well not exactly..." Tiffany said with a sad little smile on her face
"What ? what does that mean ?" Hyesoo asked letting got of Taeyeon and looking back
and forth between him and Tiffany
Yoona and Seohyun who thought positively immediately turned serious upon hearing
what Tiffany just said
"We decided to start over" Tiffany said embarrassed while looking at Taeyeon who was
also looking at her with crossed arms and walked away to the stairs
Hyesoo looked at Tiffany feeling so sorry for her after witnessing Taeyeon's now
different attitude towards her
"What do you mean start over ?" Hyesoo asked putting a gentle hand on Tiffany's
shoulder
"I mean that the trust between us is already ruined and it's no use to try and fix it...so
we're building it again" Tiffany smiled at the last sentence not wanting Hyesoo or Yoona
and Seohyun to worry any further. she had already caused enough problems
"So are we in peace now ?" Yoona asked to make sure...just to make sure
"I guess...for now..." Tiffany said shrugging
After that the four went back to the lounge and sat there in silence waiting for Taeyeon
to come down
"Unnie...what are you going to do now ?" Seohyun asked in a low voice breaking the
silence
"Are you going back to Seoul now ?" Yoona asked in worry

"Nah, Taeyeon says we leave tomorrow morning" Tiffany sighed and massaged her
temples
She had finally got what she has been coming here everyday for
Taeyeon
Taeyeon still loves her
Despite all what she had done he still loves her
He's willing to give them another chance
That's not something Taeyeon would do
Taeyeon's logic says that if something doesn't work out then he's not fated to have it
And that's it
Clearly their relationship stopped working long ago
Then why is he giving them another chance ?
That is so out of Taeyeon's character
Unbeknown to Tiffany that Taeyeon was just acting out to his feelings and decided to be
selfish for the first time in his life
If trying again means his happiness than he will just try again ignoring every single logic
he had build up and ignoring what his brain was telling him
His brain was telling him to let go of Tiffany cause he's only going to get hurt over and
over again
His heart was telling him to hold on to Tiffany and never let her go cause she's the only
person in the world that could make him happy or hurt him and drive him to this state

Letting go of a person who has such an effect on his life wasn't really the brightest idea
Or so Taeyeon thought
But...Tiffany does deserve another chance
All their days weren't sad
The happiest days of his life were all spent with her
Letting go will be just stupid
But holding on is stupider

Hopes
After spending the night in the guest room Tiffany freshened up like she has never did.
Although it's the same clothes from yesterday she took a quick shower, applied light
make up and did her hair, grabbed her purse and left the room with a smile on her face
When she went down and found no one in the living room she went to the lounge where
everybody usually hangs and to her surprise she saw two figures sitting next to each
other
"Good morning Unnie" the first was Seohyun who smiled brightly at her
"Morning Seohyunie" Tiffany greeted back just as brightly
She eyes the other figure sitting next to Seohyun eyeing her with no emotion
whatsoever

"Morning..." Tiffany's smile didn't reach her eyes when she saw Taeyeon's unwelcoming face but that smile went up again turning her eyes into crescents when
Taeyeon shot her with a cute sincere real smile and waved
Taeyeon indeed was in a good mood
A very very good mood
"Ah, Unnie I packed you two some food to eat in the car, you have to go now if you want
to avoid traffic" Seohyun said getting up and walked to the kitchen leaving Taeyeon and
Tiffany alone
Tiffany smiled a little upon seeing the suitcase near the door realizing that she's going
back home with Taeyeon but she still got that scary feeling in the bit of her stomach.
she is so scared that when everything goes back to normal again Taeyeon would turn
back to that same neglecting husband he was a few months ago. the thought scared
her so much
Her thoughts were disturbed when she felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket
She pulled it out and opened it and was surprised by a text
Did you sleep well ?
She immediately looked up from her phone at Taeyeon who was also holding his phone
with a smile
She got flustered for a moment not knowing how to act and what to say or not say
"Y-...Yeah, I did. You ?" Tiffany asked and looked down after but looked up again when
she saw Taeyeon nod furiously

"Hyung..." Both Taeyeon and Tiffany looked up upon hearing a hoarse voice coming
from behind them
"Are you leaving ?" It was Yoona who just woke up, still in his Pajamas and rubbed his
messy hair while struggling to open his eyes
Both of Taeyeon and Tiffany chuckled because of Yoona's disheveled but somehow
cute appearance
"We're just about to leave" Tiffany said answering for Taeyeon
"Oh...Thank god I woke up then..." Yoona said pumping into the side of the couch
Half an hour later the four of them were standing near the front gate to the farm in front
of Tiffany's car while Yoona put Taeyeon's suitcase in the trunk
"When are you two coming back to Seoul ?" Tiffany asked getting in the driver's seat in
the car with Taeyeon
"We will just stay for a few more days and then come back. after all we have to enroll for
the next semester" Seohyun sighed and Yoona showed a displeased expression
remembering that they had collage
Yoona and Seohyun had postponed their enrollment and took this break to be beside
Taeyeon and thankfully they were of some help to him
"Bye Unnie!! Bye Oppa!!" Seohyun waved at the back of the car as it slowly vanished
from their sight leaving them with laughers when Taeyeon stuck his head out the
window and waved back at them
"I hope they get it right this time" Yoona sighed stressfully and went back inside the
farm with Seohyun

"Taeyeon ?" Tiffany broke the silence that had engulfed the car since they set off to
Seoul. Taeyeon looked at her sideways waiting for her to speak
"Do you know when you will be able to go back to work ?" Tiffany swallowed some spit
before speaking and was answered by Taeyeon shrugging and shaking his head
She sighed thinking of how things are going to be from now on
"Does Sunny know ?" Taeyeon nodded
"We should thank her and Yuri, they helped a lot with the company" Tiffany glanced at
Taeyeon for a second before looking back at the rode
He didn't say anything
He is so grateful for what the two did that he doesn't even know how to repay them
Silence engulfed the car again

Their arrive to Seoul is getting closer and Taeyeon felt so anxious that he started
sweating and fiddling with his fingers and feet
They will soon be back home where they shared their best memories and worst
memories together for years now
For some reason he remembered that night that kept replaying in his mind again and
again making his days hellish
When they finally reached their penthouse they just sat there inside the car in the
building's garage looking into empty space
Tiffany felt so scared to go inside and get back to that terrifying routine she used to live
in a few months ago. Wake up, eat, work, do choirs, miss Taeyeon and sleep while on
the other hand Taeyeon was looking at the spot he saw Tiffany and that guy make out
in and felt so scared to go in the building and go back to those days when Tiffany was
so close yet so far
But one bright little thought invaded Taeyeon's mind that made him courage up and exit
the car
I just need to look at her as much as I have been always wanting to and she will never
leave my side again - Taeyeon
Tiffany's heartbeat quickened and she went out of the car following Taeyeon who had
already got his suitcase from the trunk to the elevator. She got in nervously and
watched him press number 20. She felt like she was going to get a heart attack from
how fast her heart is beating out of fear right now
But a tiny voice in her head made her rest assure for now
Everything is going to be alright

Maybe it was her conscious ?

They finally reach their floor and Tiffany watched Taeyeon press the passcode slowly
and she felt a sense of relief when the elevator door opened and the two walked in their
penthouse together
It was the same as Tiffany left it yesterday's morning and literally the same as it was two
months ago when Taeyeon left excluding his half eaten chocolate bar that the ants ate
away before Tiffany finally cleaned it up
Taeyeon placed his suit case in the middle of the living area that was dimly lit by the
slight sun light that was getting in through their curtains before propping himself on their
comfortable couch and threw his head back closing his eyes in attempt to relax. He
inhaled and exhaled over and over again before opening his eyes to look at the ceiling.
Nothing had changed in this penthouse except for the chocolate bar that he left on the
coffee table that is now gone.
He glanced at Tiffany's back who was doing something in the kitchen and let out a little
smile before he felt that his eyelids getting heavy and slowly his vision went black with
Tiffany's back as the last thing he saw.

Finding Tiffany was the first thing that was on Taeyeon's mind when he woke up in the
evening.
He glanced right and left and Tiffany wasn't there
Tiffany ?
He tried to call out but nothing came out from his mouth but failed attempts
He stomped angry at himself for being so pathetic and ran directly to the bedroom and
stood in front of the slightly opened door. light was coming out of the crack but Taeyeon
didn't hesitate in opening the door immediately this time. he let out a sigh in relief upon
not seeing anyone in the room
But wait, where is Tiffany ?
He walked around opening every door but this time calmly in search for his wife
"Oh...You're awake, are you hungry ?"
And he found her
In the walk in closet they shared
Folding what seemed like his clothes that were in the suitcase and placing them on his
side of the closet
Even the pair of shoes he used in his parents farm were cleaned and placed with his
other footwear
He leaned his head to the side and looked at Tiffany with an expression full of confusion

"Uhh...yeah I thought getting this done now will be more convenient" Tiffany said with a
hand on the back of her neck
After not seeing any reaction from Taeyeon she stood up and smiled
"Eat with me ?" Tiffany smiled gently getting closer to Taeyeon
At that note Taeyeon let out a deep breath and smiled back a little
He didn't notice the pot that was boiling on the oven when he first woke up because the
only thought he had in mind was finding Tiffany
When they sat in front of each other on the dining table the both of them felt at ease
Taeyeon felt his heart healing a little bit when he took a bite
He remembered how awful Tiffany is at cooking
Or was
What he has in his mouth at the moment is far away from awful
This was delicious
He truly can't remember the last time he ate Tiffany's cooking
Maybe a couple of years ago ?
Yeah..When she tried making mashed potatos...and they ended up with liquid that he
had to remake into soup...yeah...maybe that time...
That night was way back from a few days after their honey moon
He put his chopsticks down feeling sick in the pit of his stomach
What man doesn't eat his wife's cooking for two years ?

"Is it not good ?" Tiffany asked panicking on the inside

This is the first time Taeyeon eats her cooking since long ago and she didn't want to
screw it up
She wanted to show him how much she developed her cooking skills
Taeyeon had an apologetic look on his face
He put his palms together and squinted his eyes while looking down as if he's praying
hardcore or being thankful or apologizing with no words
Probably the later
"You're thankful ?" Tiffany guessed and Taeyeon nodded furiously
When he looked up Tiffany just had to laugh
He was crying silent tears with the funniest crying face ever and eating like he hasn't ate
in years at the same time
"Eat well so you can get healthy again" Tiffany leaned on her hand forgetting about her
own food and got engrossed watching Taeyeon instead
He looks like a 9-year-old eating his favorite food that his mother only makes once a
year, so cute that Tiffany just had to take a picture of him while he's emptying the plate
like a starving bear
The broken pieces are getting back together...not that, their relationship is being built
again
Slowly...
Peacefully...

No rush...
No one to get in their way...
For now
Hopefully to the better this time
No more idiotic neglecting from Taeyeon and no more doubts and bottling up from
Tiffany
They just need to care about each other a little bit more, Talk to each other a little bit
more, Consider each other a little bit more and reach out for each other a little bit
more...
Then maybe...
Just maybe...
They can be happier than ever

Later that evening Taeyeon opened his work laptop for the first time in forever after
taking a bath and settling in his home again
His Outlook was exploding with e-mails most likely from work related shit that he hadn't
looked at for a while
Just looking at the number of e-mails he need to replay to gave him a headache
If he wants to finish all this work as fast as possible he needs to work over night and not
to forget all the documents and files he needs Sunny to send to him as soon as he gets
back to work and all the reports and stocks of the company's progress from the past
couple of months not to forget to check on the Developing company for their brand new
system for the new hotel and lots and lots of other stuff that are just too much for a mere
human to handle not to forget that Taeyeon is still recovering from a load of shit he went
through
"Taeyeon..."
A beautiful voice rang in Taeyeon's ears snapping him out from anything work related
and he looked up to see Tiffany staring at him with worry in her eyes
"I don't think you should go through anything work related while you're like this..." she
said her voice full of consideration with a hand on his thigh
Taeyeon looked down at her warm hand and back up at her worried pretty face
Tiffany has never butted in his work...never ever...
This was new to Taeyeon
This was also new to Tiffany

She used to just watch over Taeyeon while he's working without actually interrupting
anything but look where that led them to
She felt like she had to change her ways
And one of them is showing him that she's there for him when he's in his lowest points
Taeyeon stared at Tiffany's hand that's on his thigh for a minute before looking back at
his laptop screen and shutting it down
This was not the time for work
This was the time to get his shit back together and by that not just his relationship with
Tiffany but also within himself
He needs to get up on his own feet again soon
And it made Taeyeon feel so good when he realized that he doesn't have to do it all
alone
Tiffany is here for him

Sleeping on the same bed again was very awkward but they managed to sleep after
calming down their nerves
It reminded Taeyeon of their first night together and how nervous and panicked he was
when a year after they began dating he woke in Tiffany's bed the day after a party
Tiffany used to laugh at him a lot and remind him of how he pulled the blanket over his
head and tripped three times while trying to get away from the bed when he realized
what they just did
Honestly Taeyeon was terrified at that time because they were both pretty much still
illegal and they just had to go and do it under the influence of who knows what
At that day Taeyeon noted to himself that in the next life he should have a talk with
Tiffany before hand to not do it before marriage
He himself is a happy mistake and he isn't sure he thanked god enough for not letting
him make the same mistake his dad made
The next Morning Taeyeon was first to wake up
It feels good to freshen up in your own space again
He took his sweet time showering, shaving, brushing his teeth, combing his doesn'tneed-to-be-combed hair and finally dressing up in something he hadn't been wearing
repeatedly every week
By the time he finished he expected Tiffany to be awake when he's done but not to his
surprise she was still asleep when he went back to the bedroom

He roamed around the house to check if anything needs cleaning or anything like that
but there wasn't anything of that sort
The house was still neat and no sign of dust anywhere
He feels kind of sorry for leaving Tiffany in this place all alone but he couldn't help it. he
just hopes it was worth it
When he went outside in the balcony to check on their little garden that they started
growing when they first moved in and his smile just couldn't get any bigger
The plants and flowers grew up beautifully in the time he wasn't watching which is even
before going to Jeonju
What a miserable feeling it is to see how much he had missed on things that are
important to him
What a failure... - Taeyeon
Taeyeon let out a deep sigh and closed the balcony door behind him before walking to
the railing
He's feeling bitter, hopeless, useless, unneeded and everything in between
He could just jump off this building and end his life just to get rid of this depression but
that would be pure stupidity and besides...there are too many loved once whom
Taeyeon is not ready to leave behind yet
He needs to find a way to get rid of this depression
How ?
Therapy ?
No...

Even if he goes to therapy he knows that he wont be able to open up and let a single
thing out
He's not that kind of person
Maybe he just needs to talk to someone about it ?
Oh yeah, he can't talk
Taeyeon had already figured it out...
He just needs to feel good about himself again
Satisfied
Confident
He lost so much of those things
Gaining them back would be a hard way but Taeyeon had already swore to himself
I will never let myself fall in that pitch black pit place again - Taeyeon
That place where he could no nothing but cry and feel bad about himself and worry all
of those who are around him
Never ever does Taeyeon want to go back to that phase again
Little by little, put everything in the right place
He doesn't even has to success from the first time because he already failed once
Just try again and again and again until you reach your goal
It isn't even that hard
He jut needs the drive to do it

"Taeyeon...?"
And he has one
"Good morning"
Even though it hurts to hear that voice he will never want to stop it
He lives to hear it
Things might be difficult right now but everything gets better
Taeyeon believes so
And so he turns around with the best smile he could pull up right now with all the
difficulty of doing so because it's a step
A step to a better Taeyeon

Jealousy
It's been a few days since Taeyeon has been back
There has been no progress between the two whatsoever
If not for their friends visiting to check on them they would have realize it sooner that
this isn't working
They can't find a pace to go at
Taeyeon started to eat healthy again and exercise which is a good thing, his usual pale
skin is coming back to it's original state and even better than before since he's stress
free at the moment

On the other hand Tiffany is struggling, everyday she would sit with Taeyeon in their
living room in front of the TV without saying anything. as much as she would like to have
a conversation with him she somehow feels like if she says anything she would end up
breaking Taeyeon down again and he isn't exactly completely in a very good shape so
she has been busying herself with her own work while Taeyeon is busying himself to
gain his health back again
They barely have one or two conversations a day aside from Tiffany asking if Taeyeon
was hungry or if he's going to sleep
Today is a bit different
Taeyeon has woken up several times at night because of repeated nightmares
The last time he woke up he was so terrified he looked around on the bed only to find
Tiffany sleeping right next to him and sighed in relief
After getting a glass of cool water Taeyeon got back on the bed only to stare at his
beautiful wife's sleeping face under the moonlight
Even when she's a sleep he could tell that she's tired
He feels sorry for doing that to her
If only he wasn't so stupid this all wouldn't have happened
That's right...If only...
But what happened already happened and he can't turn back time
Stop it
Just stop thinking about it
It's already over

Move on
Be a better person
Tiffany promised to be better too
You're getting better
It's gonna work out this time
After convincing himself that everything will be alright, a bright thought invaded
Taeyeon's mind
It doesn't hurt to think, look or be around Tiffany anymore
He was so focused on getting better that it beat the pain away
He's really getting better
But what about Tiffany ?

"Good morning Tae''

Ahh, what a bright sight to wake up to
You're wife with an apron, a big gorgeous smile on her face and an addicting smell
coming from the kitchen
It made the smile go up on Taeyeon's face automatically
Taeyeon just knows it's going to be a good day
It was time to set things straight again
He took his sweet time recovering and today he's sure that he's going to make a little
progress between them
"Taeyeon..." Tiffany says making Taeyeon look up form his food breaking his line of
thoughts
"I have to go out tonight" At the mention of go out Taeyeon's heart pounds loudly until
he can't hear anything, his legs felt numb, his eyes widen, his mouth opens slightly, his
breath hitched and he couldn't think of anything other than Tiffany going out
Panic attack
"Taeyeon!!" Upon seeing Taeyeon breathing heavily with his hand on his chest Tiffany
immediately passed him the glass of water that he immediately consumed half of it
"Calm down Tae!" Tiffany was now kneeling in front of Taeyeon with her hands on
either of his shoulders looking him straight in the eyes
"Calm down TaeTae...I'm still here...I'm not going anywhere if you don't want me to...I
will stay by your side. I promise'' Tiffany said trying to calm down Taeyeon which
appeared to be a success because Taeyeon's breath was slowing down back to normal

Taeyeon needed something so bad right now...but what is it ? He himself didn't know
When he finally fully calmed down he nodded his head to Tiffany and got up to the
balcony
He needed fresh air away from the stuffy atmosphere that was just created inside
Taeyeon felt anger flood into his body and he punched the railing so hard and it hurts as
hell but it hurts him more that he couldn't handle Tiffany simply saying that she's going
out
At moments like these Taeyeon wonders where the hell did all his patience go ?
Get your self together Kim Taeyeon

At that night both Taeyeon and Tiffany sat in front of the TV as usual
It didn't go unnoticed by Taeyeon that Tiffany kept looking at the time in her phone
Maybe this is when she wanted to go out

Where was she going anyway

It bothered Taeyeon so much that he just couldn't stop to think about it
He needs to do something
Yes!
For the sake of their progress
And that's when he grabbed his trusty huge note book and marker
You can go if you want to
And at that Tiffany's eyes went wide
She surely didn't see that coming
''What ? but Taeyeon..." Tiffany trailed off when Taeyeon wrote the next sentence
I'm alright
"Taeyeon, how could you be okay after what happened this morning ?! you literally had
a panic attack" Tiffany tried to explain as calmly as she could
Taeyeon responded by shaking his head and wrote again on a new page
Go
It must be important
Tiffany swallowed and looked at her phone's clock again before letting out a deep sigh
"Listen to me Taeyeon, I have an emergency at work and they need me in the office.
this wont take long. I will be back before you even know it, okay ?"
After roughly five seconds Taeyeon lowers his head and slightly nods

And at that Tiffany hurried and dressed up office appropriate before taking out her heels
from their shoe cabinet
"I will be back soon, I promise'' Tiffany said to Taeyeon who was at the door with her
She seemed hesitant for a moment as if she wanted to do or say something but went
out with a deep sigh and a small seeya to Taeyeon who waved at her with an uncertain
expression
Roughly 15 minutes later Taeyeon was on the couch looking down to the floor with both
hands clenching his hair
He's having a panic attack again and it's feels like he's going crazy
Tiffany tiffany tiffany tiffany tiffany tiffany tiffany tiffany tiffany tiffany
Goddamit stop thinking about her !! she promised she wont be be late
He got up and walked around the house like crazy looking for something to distract him
He opened all the drawers in the whole house looking for something to take his mind off
things but he couldn't find anything.
It started getting too much that he walked to the shower and opened the cold water
stepping in without taking his clothes off
Calm down, calm the hell down, everything is okay, she promised she will be back
soon, she promised she wont be late, just calm down oh my god!!
It seemed like the cold water wasn't working on calming Taeyeon down so he stepped
out of the shower and went to the mirrored cabinet to find a pill that will let him sleep a
little but before he opens the cabinet he caught his reflection in the mirror
Wow...

Taeyeon was amazed by how he looked right now

He must have been crying again without realizing it because his eyes looked red and
puffy and he could now taste salt in his mouth plus his nose felt stuffy
His semi long brown hair was wet and messy and Taeyeon's hair is never messy
His cloths are wet and disheveled and his overall appearance looked pathetic
He unconsciously chuckled by seeing his appearance like this
This is the worst that Taeyeon has ever looked in his life
Upon seeing himself like that Taeyeon found himself calming down again
As if nothing happened he took a real shower, changed his wet clothes to clean dry
ones and blow dried his hair to it's fabulous state again
He sat in the living room in front of the TV again and put his hand on his heart
So collected with systematic beats
His heart is so calm so why is his mind on chaos
Distraction distraction distraction
He needs distraction
How to not think of your loved one ?
By doing something he likes to do of course
And what does Taeyeon likes to do when he's not busy with work or trying to keep up
with Tiffany ?
Well...there is singing but he obviously can't do that right now

What else ?
...
......
Art !!
Yes Art !
He got up and opened one of the drawers he keeps his personal things in and got a
hold of his sketchbook and a pencil case
*sketch* *sketch* *sketch*
*sketch* *sketch* *sketch*
Yes...distraction...
With music playing loudly in his ears and his hands busy with sketching Taeyeon found
the perfect distraction
*sketch* *sketch* *sketch*
*sketch* *sketch* *sketch*

Tiffany literally ran out of the company to her car and tried her best to not go over the
speed limit just to reach Taeyeon
As expected the meeting took nearly two hours and she's hoping that luck is by her side
tonight and there is no traffic ahead
She needs to keep this promise to Taeyeon for him to trust her again. doesn't need to
she has to or else...there might not be that much chances in the future
Finally reaching their building's parking lot Tiffany parked easily and ran to the elevator
nearly forgetting her bag in the progress
Taeyeon Taeyeon Taeyeon Taeyeon Taeyeon Taeyeon Taeyeon Taeyeon Taeyeon
Okay okay, calm down Stephanie, you're not late it's been just two hours and 30
minutes
God damn it !! what is even considered late ?!
*Ding*
Perfect
After pushing in the passcode Tiffany made her way in the living room where she see's
a sight she hasn't seen for a very long time
Taeyeon sleeping peacefully on the couch
No sign of stress or tiresome on his face
Just a relaxed Taeyeon with ear buds in his ears

She sat next to him on the couch softly careful not to wake him up, her smile goes up as
she notice a little smile on his face
What is he thinking about to make him this relaxed ?
Tiffany thought to herself
She then noticed his sketchbook on the coffee table with a worn out pencil plopped next
to it
So he was drawing again
Picking up the sketchbook Tiffany flipped through the pages she's familiar with as she
saw them a million times before but what made her jaw hang was the most recent
drawing
With today's date on it and Taeyeon's sign freshly engraved on the bottom of the page
Tiffany scanned the whole drawing from the top to the bottom of the page
It was Tiffany Hwang...which means herself...
Taeyeon drew a lot of things before... but it was never her...
Her stomach got that familiar feeling she hasn't gotten in a while
What did they call it again ?
What was it...?
Ah yeah...
Butterflies

Taeyeon woke up with a grunt as he realized that he was sleeping on the couch
As comfy at it is, it wasn't the best place to sleep on
Feeling a weight on his shoulder Taeyeon turned to his left only to see the most
beautiful smiling face his eyes laid upon
Tiffany
What is she doing here ?
Why are we sleeping on the couch ?
Slowly taking his arm from under Tiffany and replacing it with a cushion, Taeyeon made
his way to the kitchen attempting to look for some water
The fridge was pretty much empty except for the two water bottles on the side
They haven't went shopping since they came back from Jeonju so it was excepted to
run out of food after a few days but damn, right now ?
Looking at the clock while drinking water Taeyeon frowned

He is hungry
The kitchen is pretty much empty
It's 2 in the morning so no one delivers
What to do ?
What. To. Do ?
He could go to the convenient store near by but he cant just leave Tiffany alone like that
and besides he might need to communicate with words
He stared at Tiffany for about 30 seconds thinking of what to do and with a ding he
walked over to the couch hesitating to wake her or not
*shake* *shake*
*shake* *shake*
Taeyeon felt sorry for having to wake up Tiffany when she's this deep into her sleep but
oh well
*shake* *shake*
*shake* *shake*
Slowly opening her eyes, Tiffany looked to her side to see who was shaking her gently
and it was none other than Taeyeon of course
Upon seeing Taeyeon face Tiffany sat right up and rubbed her eyes
"What ? is something wrong ?"
Tiffany felt worried at the weird situation
Taeyeon put his hand on his stomach and made a sad face which made Tiffany chuckle

"You're hungry ?" She asked

Taeyeon smiled and nodded furiously and grabbed his phone
*ding*
Tiffany looked at her phone expecting Taeyeon's text
Let's go to the convenient store...he said

And so...

The convenient store it was

"God damn it, I lost him again!" Tiffany mumbled as she realized that Taeyeon went
around on his own again
Tiffany has always hated going to convenient stores with Taeyeon

He doesn't stay still at all just like real kids, grabs whatever he wants and goes where
ever he wants
Especially this particular convenient store because it was unusually huge and you could
get lost in it easily
"Taeyeon! please don't go around by yourself" Tiffany said when she caught sight of
Taeyeon in front of the ice cream freezer with a big pint between his hands
Taeyeon smiled at her and nodded...before going off again
"Oh dear *sigh*"
"Excuse me miss'' Tiffany looked behind her as she felt a hand on her shoulder
It was a guy in his early 30's maybe smiling at her friendly
"Can I help you ?" Tiffany asked returning the same friendly smile
"I believe this is yours" Tiffany looked at what's in his extended hand and her eyes
widened when she realized that it was her phone that she must have dropped it while
looking for Taeyeon earlier
"Oh my god, thank you so much!" Tiffany bowed a million times to the man before he
waved goodbye to her
On the other side Taeyeon while Taeyeon was in the snacks section he caught sight of
the exchange that happened between Tiffany and the man
Why is he feelings so upset right now ?
It was just a normal exchange
Nothing happened and the man left and Tiffany went back to picking what fruit she
should buy

Jealousy isn't one of Taeyeon's traits

He suddenly wants to run up to Tiffany and lock her up in his heart forever so no one
can see her or interact with her other than him
Taeyeon felt scared of himself because as much as that thought crept him out he might
have as well done it if he could have
Back to Tiffany, lost in thought on what fruit to pick, it was down to Apple VS Strawberry
now but since both of them loved strawberries so much she decided on that
She was so focused on picking up the Strawberries that she didn't notice Taeyeon
standing beside her
I will just stay beside her and glare at any guy gets close so no one approaches
her...damn I feel like a kid
"Oh your here, which one do you want ? white strawberries or red strawberries" Tiffany
smiled forgetting the awkwardness that was between them
Upon seeing Tiffany's smile Taeyeon couldn't help it but smile too and picked the white
strawberries because they were kind of pinkish and Tiffany loved pink and
besides...white strawberries tasted like pineapples so it's like hitting two birds with one
stone...or three in this case
Tiffany couldn't stop herself from glancing at Taeyeon who was now sticking beside her
instead of going off on his own like usual
What is he thinking ?
While inside of Taeyeon's mind he was scheming the perfect plan on how to scare off
whoever tries to get close

Jealousy...oh jealousy...it messes with your mind

While the cashier scan's the barcode on their stuff Taeyeon couldn't top himself from
shooting imaginary laser at the guy because he found the man staring at Tiffany who
was looking for the right card in Taeyeon's wallet
At that moment he wanted to speak so bad so he could scold the guy but couldn't and
just resorted to clenching his teeth
Taeyeon's eyes went wide when he saw the guy's hand touches Tiffany's when he
handed her back the credit card and the guy blushed at the slight contact
It was so little
Such a little thing that isn't worth it
But Taeyeon raged at the sight
He put his arm around Tiffany's waist and glared at the guy whose probably a high
schooler who's still a virgin and made their wait out of the convenient store
Tiffany looked at him surprised but pretended that everything is normal by picking up a
couple of the plastic bag to not make things awkward again
Taeyeon was so angry that he didn't notice Tiffany look at him from the passenger seat
while he drives
"Why are you so angry ?" she asked
Taeyeon pouted and shook his as if saying I'm not angry
"No, you are angry. did I do something wrong ?" Tiffany was so scared that she did
something that hurt Taeyeon again overlooking that Taeyeon might be just being
childish

Taeyeon shook his head and bit his lower lip replaying what he just witnessed in his
mind
"Seriously Tae, what's wrong ?" Tiffany asked pleading Taeyeon to tell her by putting
her hand on his thigh which softened Taeyeon up immediately
*sigh*
There is no use in making Fany worried like this
Yeah...
Just enjoy her company while we're alone
Yeah...
I should just do that...
That was nothing...
Yeah...
She's all mine after all
Yeah...
She promised to never look at anyone other than me again
Yeah...
She said she loves me
Yeah..

But no...
How the hell can I believe her ?

Taengoo
*munch* *munch* *munch*
After reviewing all the feelings Taeyeon has had in this whole relationship with Tiffany..
Taeyeon realized that he made the right choice in her
*munch* *munch* *munch*
And that's why he's sitting on the dining table eating chicken and watching Tiffany
making tick tack tock noises with her laptop
He doesn't even bother looking at his food and only concentrate on Tiffany trying to
figure out what's her mood like right now
She was frowning and biting her lower lip which made Taeyeon get some old memories
of when Tiffany made a face like that and he sure doesn't want to remember that now..
Love has it's problems. so what ?
Just get over it and be happy
There is no need for all this drama !
He's already over being miserable, heartbroken and all those sick feelings he had
especially the jealousy one, it's an experience he doesn't want to remember

Being jealous over something so silly isn't an easy task to accept for a 26 year old man
He felt a little disgusted in himself
What Tiffany did somehow made a weird switch inside of Taeyeon flip
Looking at all his problems, Taeyeon frowned in bitterness
Problem A: Taeyeon became insecure
Problem B: Taeyeon became overprotective
Problem C: Taeyeon can't bring himself to trust Tiffany in making things better
Fighting with himself is one of the hardest thing Taeyeon is going through right now
He wants to believe in Tiffany but he just can't lie to himself
He's not really believing
But Tiffany is clearly trying to make things better
Aside of being perfect Taeyeon can see the changes that were made since they got
back together
Tiffany pays attention to him a lot now, she tries to have a conversation with him every
now and then everyday but end up falling miserably because of him
On the other side Taeyeon is feeling more miserable than Tiffany
It feels like going crazy to fight with yourself to believe in something that is in front of
your eyes
"Are you done with that ?"
Taeyeon snapped out of it and when he came to he realized that Tiffany is standing in
front of the table rubbing her head in stress and looking all sexy somehow

He nodded and Tiffany was about to pick up his dish but he held her hand and shook
his head to prevent her from doing so
Tiffany chuckled seeing Taeyeon pat his chest twice and did his dishes himself
She felt a bit touched that Taeyeon wouldn't let her do any house work these past few
days
He was like that too before he got busy with work but now he's almost doing the same
things he used to do
She sighed as she remembered the sweet relationship they used to have
That is before disaster struck

"Will you be okay ?" Tiffany asked from the drivers seat

Taeyeon nodded at her before writing something in his phone

"Alright, see ya then" Tiffany waved at Taeyeon who waved back and went inside the
apartment
*Ding*
The elevator door opened revealing Jessica who instantly smiled
"Sup Taeng ?" they shared a high five before Taeyeon smiled and gave her two thumbs
up
"Don't mess up the place okay ? I just cleaned today and I don't even clean" Jessica
warned with a glare which had Taeyeon nodding furiously
"Glad you understand" She finally smiled and gave a thumb up before making her way
to the car where Tiffany was waiting for her
"Took you long enough" Tiffany said as soon as Jessica closed the car door
"Had to make some rules to Yul, I just clean and I don't want any one to get near the
carpet"
"But your carpet almost takes all the space in the living room" Tiffany frowned not taking
her eyes off the rode
"Exactly" Jessica said back nonchalantly
The plan for this evening originally was to meet up with Jessica and Yuri and get dinner
but they ended up separated because Jessica kept whining mentioning girls night so
Yuri and Taeyeon also decided to have a guys night, stay indoors, play video games
and order pizza while Jessica and Tiffany are out
*ding* *dong*

Taeyeon grinned devilishly as he rang the door bell and heard Yuri say "Come in
Taeng!" from inside the apartment
*ding* *dong*
"I said come in!!" Yuri yelled
*ding* *dong* *ding* *dong*
"..."
*ding* *dong* *ding* *dong* *ding* *dong* *ding* *dong* *ding* *dong*
"What the hell Taeyeon!!" Yuri opened the door furiously to stop Taeyeon from ringing
the bell
Yuri immediately relaxed and chuckled when he saw the silent laughing face Taeyeon
was making
"Glad you enjoyed that. now come in, the pizza is gonna get cold" Yuri opened the door
wider for Taeyeon to come in and fixed his hair under his hoodie
"Ah...don't step on the carpet please, I don't wanna die" Yuri grimaced and Taeyeon
had the same face remembering Jessica's warning before tip toeing on the edges to the
couch in front of the TV where a large Pizza was waiting
"What do you wanna play ?" Yuri asked Taeyeon who was rummaging through the
video games under the coffee table and picked WWE2K16 cause they have never
played it together before

"So when was the last time you two did something hot ?" Tiffany grimaced at Jessica's
ridicules question. that definitely wasn't the right thing to ask right now
"I don't know...a little bit over four months ago ?" Tiffany squinted trying to remember
their last time
"Was it before or after he found out ?" Jessica squinted back taking a sip from her drink.
they were at a bar after dinner
"Judging from how he found out, it was after" Jessica's eyes widened hearing that
"Taeng sure has balls"
"What ?"
"Nothing...anyways, so I thought of a way to make your relationship with Taeng stronger
that whatever you two have now" Jessica smiled cutely
"Awsome...what is it ?" Tiffany rolled her eyes and listened instantly
"Get the bedroom action back on" Jessica's cute smile and wink definitely didn't match
what she just said which left Tiffany's jaw hanging

"What the actual hell Jess!! As much as I would love to, it would be awkward as hell if
we actually face each other on a bed right now" Tiffany grimaced again imagining the
awkward situation
"And besides...I think it would be more hurtful for him if we do it right now...you
know...without setting things straight again" Tiffany had a pained expression as she
played with her hair
"Hmm...maybe get him drunk first and maybe some--..."
"Jess...just...no...even his physic makes it dangerous, he's literally a human paper right
now. I don't think he could even last one round if he doesn't eat a whole chicken bucket"
Tiffany whispered making Jessica sigh
"And where did the unexpectedly fit Taeng go ? you know...from college ?" Tiffany
grimaced again at the memory of them back in college
They had art class and the theme was half nude, Tiffany still curses that professor until
this day for choosing the shortest, whitest most beautiful guy in that class which
happened to be Taeyeon thinking that he would have a petite figure and suprise
surprise, a slap into everyone's face. Plus his shy attitude made it even better. Tiffany
still remembers the chaos that accord after that. and she definitely still remembers how
actually really petite he was back in high school before he started working out for her
and she wouldn't be surprised if he's back to that shape again
"Ugh enough Jessy, stop asking me about my sex life!!" Tiffany put the class hard on
the counter
"Fine, fine. But you know what ? I think I will talk to Yul about trying to get Taeng back to
the gym" Jessica said with a smile
"..."

"That actually might be a good idea"

"I won again. you lost your touch man, you ain't doing anything" Yuri frowned and
tapped Taeyeon's shoulder
Taeyeon responded with a glare after losing for the millionth time that night
"Let's take a break" Yuri stood up and stretched
"Want another beer ?" Taeyeon nodded and laid fully on the couch after Yuri
disappeared in the kitchen
A Few seconds later Yuri handed Taeyeon a can and sat on the edge of the couch
looking at Taeyeon's face
Taeyeon who was looking at his phone screen looked up at Yuri

"What ?" Yuri asked after a while of silent

Taeyeon looked back at his phone and it was only a couple of seconds before Yuri's
phone dinged
I just noticed but what the hell happened to your hair ?
By instinct Yuri immediately touched his hoodie and the horrible reality hit him that it
was down
"Ah~ don't ask!! Sica insisted on doing it today" Yuri frowned and messed up his
unusually spiked up hair
You look weird
You're so whipped lol
Yuri looked at Taeyeon's face
"Yah!! get that smug look off your face" Much to Yuri's distaste, a few hits were not
enough to get the annoying look off Taeyeon's face and they ended up throwing
shapeless claws at each other like how people imagine girls fight
"...Taeng ?" Suddenly Yuri asked as they were resting from their cat fight
Taeyeon looked at Yuri sideways with a somewhat tired expression
"Are you and Tiffany okay now ?" Yuri asked carefully
Taeyeon paused to think of an answer and was not surprised that he himself didn't
know the answer
Are they okay ?
Judging from how they act around each other they are kind of okay

Although still a little bit awkward sometimes especially when it's bedtime
Taeyeon would sometimes go to sleep early or purposely stay up a little late just to
avoid Tiffany and would slip in bed quietly later
And it's not like they fight or anything it's just...quiate, peaceful days passing by with
Taeyeon waiting for his heart to trust and believe in Tiffany again
That's the only problem that's left between them
Trust
Taeyeon smiled and looked up at Yuri
Almost there
And that was his answer

"I just don't know what to do anymore, I can't think of anything to do more that would
help him !!" Tiffany clench her hair feeling a headache coming after paying the
bartender for their drinks (mostly Jessica because Tiffany has to drive)
"Then just don't think about it!!" Drunk Jessica said leading the way to Tiffany's car

Drunk Jessica was the best Jessica to talk to, can even solve the most difficult math
problems and come up with world peace
"How can I not think about it when he's in front of me all day !! as much as I hate this
sentence. he's so near yet so far" Tiffany said closing the car door and locking the
seatbelt securely on Jessica's lifeless body and then her own
"As I said...don't...*squint*...don't think" Jessica closed her eyes as a car flash light hurt
her eyes
"Don't think...about it...just do...whatever...your heart tells you...you screwed
up...because...because...you think too much...idiot!!...do not...think......I repeat...do
not...think..." Jessica said with her index finger up and still squinting
"Follow...you're fucking...heart......you're heart...that loves...Taengoo..." She raised her
other index finger distracting Tiffany from driving
"Wait...*squint*...who the fuck is Taengoo..." Jessica asked looking at her now
discarded palms
"*sigh* Jessy, Taengoo is Taeyeon...my husband ?" Tiffany said glancing at Jessica
who's probably calculating the magnitude between them and the traffic light they're
waiting at
"Right...Taengoo is Taeyeon......Taeyeon ?...Taeyeon who ?" Tiffany face palmed
Jessica has reached her limit and is not functioning probably anymore
"But wait...I feel like I know a Taeyeon...*chuckle*...I think I forgot"

"I thought about it for a while.." Yuri started as they continued playing another game this
time
"There is no questioning wither or not Tiffany loves you. then why did she cheat ? and
she said because you were neglecting her"
Taeyeon nodded and felt the guilt come back again
"That ain't a sufficient reason and she knows that"
Taeyeon frowned as he lost to Yuri again
"She knew that and yet she still did it...the main question is, why ? Why did she do that
even though something like this might happen"
"..."
"Then you happened" Yuri frowned as he remembered how Taeyeon was not long ago

"Imagine yourself in her shoes, If Tiffany was the one neglecting you what would you
have done ? You would have talked it out with her right ? and you would probably
become so insistent to the annoying point and you will end up fighting"
"..."
"......"
Taeyeon nodded. Yuri was probably right, he imagine himself to be that kind of person
"I think Tiffany probably fell in depression...like you did..."
Taeyeon thought about it for a little and distasted the thought of Tiffany falling into
depression because of him
But it was probably true nonetheless
"Otherwise she's just the kind of person who can't stay loyal and just realize that which
is unlikely"
Taeyeon nodded furiously
Through out all the time they have been together now Tiffany was the most loyal person
he knew...
Until now that is
"When she's sad, you're sad. that's how love is"
Taeyeon looked down
"Tiffany is sad right now because she resulted into all this, and that's why you're also
sad"
Taeyeon grimaced feeling a bang in his heart

It's his fault

All of it
"And I think...that's the solution...just forget that ever happened and do happy
things...you know...happy thoughts ?" Yuri smiled
"That's what I think when me and Sica fight, a little time to calm down, go on a date or
something, do something happy...and just happy thoughts everywhere, then we
naturally come together again"
Taeyeon smiled
For a moment there he forgot about him and Tiffany and thought about Yuri
Jessica is a very very very very hard person to deal with
And Yuri seems to know just the right things to do to maintain a good relationship
Honestly right now he's just very happy for Yuri and Jessica
Just thinking of how his best friend is brings happiness for him too
Because they're happy
Ahh...
So that's what he means
Happy thoughts
*Ding*
Taeyeon looked at his phone on the coffee table and saw the first notification was with
Tiffany's name
I'm waiting outside

*Click*
Both Taeyeon and Yuri looked up at the apartment door just to see Jessica squinting at
them
"Ahh~ so you're Taeyeon...Taengoo......wait...who ?"
Question marks were all over Taeyeon's face as he frowned and watched Jessica walk
in the apartment normally as if she didn't just chug a million shot
"Honey I'm home~~~~" Jessica said sweetly to Yuri and that's when both of them
realized that she was incredibly drunk. sober Jessica would never ever say Honey to
anyone, not to Yuri, not to Tiffany, not in a million years
"Honey~ I know who Taengoo is but I don't know him" Jessica said as she rested her
weigh on Yuri who immediately held her
"Sica baby, you're drunk" Yuri chuckled nervously trying to hold up Jessica to at least
get her to the bedroom when Taeyeon waved in front of his face and pointed at the door
after getting his attention
"Ah you're leaving ? think about what I told you earlier, okay ?" Taeyeon nodded and
closed the apartment door behind him bursting in laughter on the inside at the reticules
scene he just witnessed of Yuri trying to negotiate with Jessica to get change and go to
sleep
Happy thoughts
That's what Yuri said
What happy thoughts does he has right now

Although it was just for a short while, Taeyeon misses Tiffany so much right now partly
because of what Yuri told him that Tiffany is actually depressed
Here's a happy thought, he's going to see Tiffany right now
*smile*
A success
He thought of something happy and now he's happy to the point of getting a little bit
hyped up at the thought of seeing Tiffany right now
The elevator door opened revealing the security guard who bowed to him as he made
his way out almost forgetting to bow back but did it nonetheless
A pink car in front of him and a big smile on his face
"Hi" Tiffany greeted once Taeyeon entered the car
Taeyeon resorted to just stare at Tiffany's face that he missed so much in just a short
time
"You seem happy" Tiffany said with a smile forming on her face
Double success
Yuri was absolutely right
When you see someone you love happy you unconsciously get happy too
"Why...are you looking at me like that ?" Tiffany asked uncertain of the look Taeyeon
was giving her
She stared back at him as he put his elbow on the console and leaned on his palm
She felt her cheeks get warm because of how Taeyeon was staring at her

It was just so...so...gentle and...what else ?

She felt herself melt under Taeyeon's eyes
"What ?" She chuckled and asked again
Taeyeon responded with a shake of his head and the look in his eyes just got more and
more gentle
She can't remember the last time Taeyeon been this happy or the last he looked at her
like that
It was long ago that it seems so unreal
She snapped out of it when Taeyeon put his warm hand on her cold cheek and rubbed
it gently with his thumb
Her stare went from his eyes to his pink lips that she missed so much then back to his
eyes only to get lost in them again
She wanted to say something so bad and ask him why he's being like this all of a
sudden but she was afraid that he would remove his hand and scoot away
Ahh, so that's what it is...
Tiffany smiled as she realized what the look Taeyeon is giving her is
It's love
Taeyeon is staring at her so lovingly like this again is almost bringing her to tears
Happy tears
She can see Taeyeon's face is getting closer to her's and she can feel his warm breath
He opened his mouth and closed again looking down and chuckled

She was about to ask why he chuckled but what happened next left her in shock

"I'm sorry, I love you"

Again
Tiffany didn't know if she was imagining stuff or not but she definitely heard something
And she settled with that she was imagining stuff because Taeyeon's lips are certainly
on her's
She fought with herself on wither she pushes Taeyeon away and ask him or just stay
still and melt under his warmth

Before she made a decision Taeyeon pulled away and looked at he with the same
loving eyes
"Did...did you just--...?!"
"Yeah..."
She didn't get the chance to continue because Taeyeon leaned in again and kissed her
lips with more passion
Oh my god!!
She couldn't think straight right now
Her eyes started stinging because of the tears
"Don't cry~ smile please" Taeyeon smiled after pulling out and successfully got a
chuckle out of Tiffany
"You sound so soar"
"Yeah..." Taeyeon laughed at himself before leaning in again capturing Tiffany's lips
"But...*chu* *smack*...how ?" Tiffany struggled to speak in between kisses
"How...*chu*...you ask" Taeyeon finally pulled away but stayed within close contact
"Because I'm not sad anymore ? I don't know *chuckle*" Tiffany hasn't been this happy
in forever
Although a bit soar, she can now hear Taeyeon's voice again
*smack* *chu*
More kisses from Taeyeon all over Tiffany's face

"Just what in the heavens did Yuri do ?" Tiffany said circling her arms around Taeyeon's
neck
"Let's just say he made me realize how stupid I am" Taeyeon chuckled
"Then why are you being so...so affectionate ?" Tiffany chuckled when Taeyeon got
back to planting more kisses all over her face
"I guess *chu* *chu* *chu* so much has been building up...and it's all coming out now ?"
"But...are you really okay now ?" Tiffany asked lowering her to avoid looking directly at
Taeyeon
It was an awkward silent for a few seconds before Tiffany felt herself being pulled into a
warm embrace
"I believe in you, so...you believe in me too, okay ?"
This all felt so unrealistic
Taeyeon looking happy again felt unrealistic
Taeyeon actually really talking to her felt unrealistic
Taeyeon embracing her and kissing her felt unrealistic
"Now will you stop crying ?" Taeyeon chuckled wiping Tiffany's wet cheeks with his
thumb
A smile was painted on Taeyeon's face when Tiffany sniffed while nodding
"Good, will you kiss me back ? I just miss my Fany so much" Taeyeon closed his eyes
and hugged Tiffany as hard as he can almost squishing her but Tiffany was where she
wanted to be the most right now and didn't have any complains

"But...But what about--..."

"Fany-ah...I'm so tired...you are so tired...let's just forget about it...you already promised
not to do it again...and now I'm promising you not to neglect you again...and if I ever
happened to do something that makes feel that bad...just..." Taeyeon couldn't find the
right words and held on to Tiffany tighter
"Just punch me or kick me on the balls or something" Tiffany giggled at what Taeyeon
which made Taeyeon relax
"And the next time you do something like that--..."
"I won't!! I promise!!" Tiffany was quick to cut Taeyeon off and not give him a chance of
even thinking that she might do something like that again
"Okay then...I will trust you..." Taeyeon pulled away from the hugged and caressed
Tiffany's cheek with his left hand and held the side of her neck with his right
"Fany-ah, let's be happy again, okay ?" Tiffany nodded furiously with a smile on her face
and tears forming again
Both forgetting that they're still at a parking lot in front of their best friends apartment
engaged in a full make out session
As weird as it was to be able to do that again, they just went on without a care

"Ugh I'm so tired" Taeyeon stretched walking inside their home after the elevator door
opened and Tiffany followed behind staring at Taeyeon's back
"Haha sit down, I'm gonna make something to warm up" Tiffany said as she took off her
shoes and put on slippers
Taeyeon relaxed on the couch and looked at the ceiling
It kind of looked so different than it usually does
The TV looks bigger than usual
The paint on the wall looks dark even though it was pure white
Even Tiffany's quite impressive antique collection looked so dull despite being the most
fascinating thing for Taeyeon
Just what is it about this place that is making everything so different ?
"Here" Tiffany smiled after successfully getting Taeyeon's attention by placing the cups
on the coffee table
Taeyeon smiled softly as the relaxing aroma of the tea invaded his nose trills
"What is this ? it smells so good" Taeyeon asked while taking a sip
"And tastes good too"
"It's honey mixed with tea for your throat, it's quite sore isn't it ?"

"Yeah, It feels a bit rough when I talk, Thank You" Taeyeon talked in English with the
deepest voice he could muster up which made Tiffany giggled
"You're welcome" Tiffany smiled as she took a sip of her own cup
A staring battle has begun
Taeyeon couldn't take his eyes off Tiffany because he just missed her so much and
Tiffany couldn't take her eyes off Taeyeon because he's actually smiling to her and
looking at her with the most loving eyes he ever looked at her with
They ended up chuckling at each other before continuing their tea
A while later Taeyeon washed the tea cups while Tiffany took a bath and Taeyeon went
in after her while Tiffany dried her hair and prepared their bed
For the first time in forever their sleeping on the same bed at the same time with only a
little bit of awkwardness involved
The lights were off and only the lamp on the night stand was on giving the room enough
lighting for them to see each other
They just laid there staring at each other with little smiles on their faces
A little while later Tiffany scooted closed to Taeyeon and hugged him on her warm chest
Taeyeon let out a relaxing breath and warped his right arm around her waist and closed
his eyes
"Does it hurt ?" Tiffany suddenly asked
"A bit" Taeyeon answered understanding what Tiffany is employing at
"I'm sorry.." Tiffany mumbled

"I know.......I'm sorry too"

They stayed in that state for a few minutes
*bathump* *bathump* *bathump* *bathump* *bathump* *bathump* *bathump*
Taeyeon opened his eyes and smiled
"You're heart is beating so fast...and loud" Taeyeon said chuckling
"Do you know what that means ?" Tiffany asked also closing her eyes
"That you love me ?" Taeyeon answered with his eyes still closed
"No...it means that I'm in love with your entire existences" Tiffany said hugging Taeyeon
tighter while Taeyeon did the same
"You know that I feel the same way, right ? actually you know what...it might be even
more..."
At hearing that Tiffany put her palm on both of Taeyeon's cheeks and made him look up
at her before placing a sweet kiss on his pouty lips
Once she pulled out Taeyeon leaned in this time and captured her's
The moment Taeyeon pulled out Tiffany pulled him in again
One kiss led to two and two led to three and three led to another make out session
After a while both of them pulled out at the same time feeling a bit confused
"Fany-ah..." Taeyeon started
"Let's just sleep" Tiffany continued for Taeyeon understanding that both of them feel the
same way about this

"Yup, Let's" And just like that they let go of each other and turned the opposite side of
each other
Both of them understood something at that night
They were not ready to get to that point again
Not for now

The next day Tiffany woke up in an empty bed

Taeyeon wasn't there beside her like she expected him to be
She woke up a bit more energetic than usual at the thought that Taeyeon will be beside
her but much to her disappointment he wasn't
Instead she heard his voice outside the bedroom

"Must be on the phone..." Tiffany muttered and closed her eyes again feeling that this
scenario has happened before
In those hellish days when she was in her worst shape
At that time she would wake up everyday either to an empty house or the back of
Taeyeon while he's wearing his suit or the echo of his voice outside talking about work
related things on the phone that she didn't understand or worst of all when she wakes
up at the same time as him and he only spare her a nod of acknowledgment as he
makes his way out in a hurry while on the phone at the same time
Is it all repeating itself again ?
Tiffany bit her lips and swallowed at the scary thought
She pulled herself out of the bed and made her way to the bathroom to freshen up
After dressing up in comfy but stylish clothes Tiffany brushed her perfect black hair and
made her way out to the living room only to find out that Taeyeon wasn't there
His voice was coming from the kitchen
She slowly walked to the kitchen and took a peek only to find Taeyeon, in an apron,
chopsticks in a hand and a frying pan occupied with bacon in the other, a phone
pressed between his ear and shoulder
"Put that in the previous file, I swear Sunny if any of my files turned out to be messed
up..." Tiffany stifled a laugh when she heard the glare in Taeyeon's voice as he placed a
new set of bacon in the frying pan
"Wha--!! What do you mean you didn't know ?! I clearly told you in my text to put
everything in place according to my PC dividing system" Tiffany watched Taeyeon in

amusement as he made perfect bacon while arguing with Sunny on the phone at the
same time
"Okay, now you're just straight up insulting me. I invented that dividing system" Taeyeon
stopped what he was doing for a while and looked down
"Sunny...I will look for you...I will find you...and I will kill you" Tiffany couldn't help it but
laugh at that and finally Taeyeon realized Tiffany's presence in the kitchen
"Yeah, whatever talk to you later" The moment Taeyeon closed his phone a smile was
painted on his face but he didn't say anything
"Morning TaeTae" Tiffany greeted
"Good morning to you too, can you set up the utensils ?"
"Sure" Tiffany smiled back at Taeyeon
It was nice to be back like this again although a bit weird since they were completely the
opposite only yesterday
"It's delicious" Tiffany stated after tasting the food Taeyeon presented her
"Good to know" Taeyeon smiled and ate away his own food
Okay now it's weird
A person can't change that much in such a short time
Taeyeon is definitely pushing himself
But the weird thing is, all his actions seem genuine, not forced, not fake, just...it's just
Taeyeon being Taeyeon

"Let's go out today" Tiffany looked up surprised at Taeyeon who had his eyes on his
food
"Go out ? why all of a sudden ?"
"I don't know, I just feel suffocated inside. and besides, we haven't went out together for
a very long time" Taeyeon glanced at Tiffany before checking the time on his phone
"Where would you like to go ? Flower viewing ? amusement park ? oh how about the
beach ?" Taeyeon said excitedly
"The beach sounds nice" Tiffany unconsciously smiled at the thought of going on a date
again with Taeyeon
"Okay then, the beach it is" Taeyeon shot Tiffany with a cute smile that made her a little
on the inside
After finishing their brunch, doing the dishes together and changing, they decided to set
off in Taeyeon's car that has been abandoned for months now
"Ahh mah baebe did you miss me" Taeyeon said in a cute voice planting kisses on the
steering wheel
That awkward moment when your partner is more affectionate towards their car than
they are towards you

A few minutes later~

"Put on some music, I'm bored" Taeyeon gave Tiffany his phone once they stopped in a
traffic light
"Which playlist ?" Tiffany responded by taking the phone from his hand and scrolling
through his songs and playlist
"American Hip Hop Pleas"
"..."
Y'all gon' make me lose my mind up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out up in here, up in here
"Y'all gon' mek me act a fool up in heare, up in heare" Tiffany laughed out loud at
Taeyeon who was singing along with his Korean accent, Taeyeon has the voice of an
angle but no not in rap, especially in English , but hey she gives him credit for practicing
"Da da da da daa It's tha modaf*ckin' T A single E" She laughed harder when she heard
Taeyeon swear with the song and change the lyrics
"TaeTae no swearing" Tiffany tried to talk between laughs

"Hey you can't tell me not to swear when I'm jamming to a rap" Tiffany didn't protest at
that
"Change the playlist please"

A few more minutes later~

"Hallo from the other side~~~~" They both ended up singing on top of their lungs
despite having a little bit of the lyrics describing some of the things that happened
between them but enjoyed singing together again nonetheless
And at the same time Taeyeon loosened up his vocal chords again and sang until they
arrived and by that time his voice was completely back to normal

"Ugghhh nothing beats stretching after getting out of the car from a long ride" Taeyeon
stretched and made weird noises as a few joints in his body cracked
"The weather is amazing" Tiffany said with a smile also stretching and closing her eyes
feeling the relaxing light wind tickle her face and brush her bangs off her eyes, not hot
and not too cold, just perfect for a walk
When Tiffany opened her eyes she noticed that Taeyeon was staring at her intensely
"What ?"
"You...look...amazing"
"..."
Tiffany burst out laughing at the way Taeyeon said it
"Thanks ?"
"Let's go" Taeyeon offered his arm which Tiffany immediately accepted and wrapped
her own around it

As much as they wanted to swim today, it was still a little bit chilly for that despite being
spring already so they settled with having ice cream on a bench and walking hand in
hand on the sand without any shoes after. There wasn't that many people today
because it was not the swimming season yet AKA summer which made it perfect for
Taeyeon, he never liked crowded places to begin with
They had a nice talk for the first time in forever
Holding hands felt like a long lost ancient dream
Although the atmosphere was a bit romantic when the they watched the sun set and it
reflection on the beautiful sea making the waves turn orange
Honestly Tiffany thought this was all a dream, a fantasy or possibly an old memory
It's almost like nothing had happened
She knew Taeyeon was pushing himself today but she couldn't help it but stay quite
about it
They were both having fun so isn't it okay to forget everything for today ?
Didn't Taeyeon already said to forget about it last night ?
And aren't his actions since this morning a proof that he meant what he said ?
Then why can't she stop thinking about it ?

"That was fun" Tiffany mutter feeling a bit shy for some reason
"Glad you enjoyed yourself, It was fun for me too" Taeyeon let a little smile take over his
face as he glanced at Tiffany from the side
And the awkward atmosphere is back again
As if they were back to their first date
And both of them are remembering the reason of why things are like this...again
They stayed in awkward silence for a while before Taeyeon suddenly spoke up
"You know what ? I'm not satisfied yet. if you're not tired...maybe we could get dinner at
some place nice ?" Taeyeon asked nervously and Tiffany smiled shyly again
"Yeah...I would really like that"
"Okay...okay then...hehe"
Super awkward
Tiffany was panicking mentally
Why are they being like this ? are they back to stage one again ?

For god's sake they're supposed to have an adult relationship of a married couple!!
While on the other side only one word was repeating it self in Taeyeon's mind
f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck
When they got back, they rested for a little bit before both of them took a shower to
wash the sand away and dressed up
Tiffany was finished first...what a miracle...when she went out of the room she couldn't
help it but laugh at Taeyeon who was glaring at himself in front of the mirror
"What are you doing ?"
"Well...I...have no idea what to do with my hair...I have never had it this long before"
Taeyeon grimaced at the sight of his semi long hair
The moment his eyes laid on Tiffany in the mirror he turned around and just stared at
her with his lips a little apart
"You...you look very beautiful" Taeyeon said with a tint of pink on his cheeks
"Really ?" Tiffany asked shyly and looked at the ground,
"Yeah..." Taeyeon swallowed
"...Thank you"
Tiffany had heard that sentence millions of times in her whole life but it was Taeyeon
and only Taeyeon that every time he says it, it sets her hurt raising and the clich
feeling of having butterflies in her stomach...not even Nichkhun had that effect on her
When she finally snapped out of it she looked up at Taeyeon who was still staring at her
with a little smile on his face

"Why don't you go and get your hair cut tomorrow ? should I accompany you ?" Tiffany
asked smiling gently while taking the hair brush out of Taeyeon grip making him shake
his head a little bit to snap out of it
"That would be nice...haha, thanks" Taeyeon leaned back on the night stand and closed
his eyes as Tiffany did whatever with his hair
"There, perfect" When Taeyeon opened his eyes and turned around he got surprised
"You know what...that actually looks nice" Taeyeon nodded at his reflection
"I know" Tiffany smiled proudly
Tiffany had divided his hair from the side, tucked the small side behind his ear revealing
his cute ear while the other side was resting gracefully on the side of his face
After that they went to fancy restaurant that Sunny recommended to them and Taeyeon
was being such a gentleman like he has always been
The food was very good, the conversation they had was the best they have ever had in
months, the candles and the amazing wine made it even better because it made the
atmosphere very romantic the whole time, they're hands barely got separated from each
other and they hardly broke eye contact
It was too good to be true
Everything that's happening right now is too good to be true
They suddenly went from angsty shit to romantic lovebirds between night and day
When they went back to their home they changed into their comfy sleep wear and
Taeyeon oh so gently made Tiffany invited Tiffany to his arms once they were on the
bed

As always the lamp on the nightstand was the only light source in the room as they both
looked at the ceiling
The hand rubbing gently on Tiffany's soft hair made her so relaxed she almost fell
asleep
But she fought it
She didn't want to fell asleep now
She's too scared to do that
She's too scared to wake up tomorrow and find out that this whole day was just a dream
caused by her wishful thinking and they're still back in those hellish days when Taeyeon
was in Jeonju and she was all alone in this lonely apartment
So she fought sleep
"Fany-ah..." Taeyeon's soft voice broke the silent
"Yes TaeTae ?"
"What do you think about moving ?"
Tiffany looked up at Taeyeon a bit surprised, she was not expecting that
"Moving ? why ?"
"I don't know...I've just realized this but...I have come to hate looking at the ceiling in this
place *chuckle* it might sound childish but...I get the feeling that if I stayed here any
longer...this place will eat me up" Tiffany chuckled holding in her laugher
"And where do you wanna move to ?" Tiffany decided to go along with what Taeyeon
was saying, it wouldn't hurt to change the setting, would it ?

"I don't know...somewhere here in Seoul...not too far...just...someplace new...you

know...for a new beginning ?" Taeyeon finished with a glance at Tiffany to see how her
reaction is
"Okay"
"...."
"Okay ? just like that ?" Taeyeon asked meeting Tiffany's eyes with surprise
"Yeah, why not ?"
"But...But don't you love this condo ? Didn't you say it was the best home you ever lived
in ?" Tiffany chuckled
"I did but...the best home will always be where you are...so...I don't mind at all" Tiffany
answered snuggling a bit in the crock of Taeyeon's neck enjoying Taeyeon's beautiful
and relaxing aroma
"Fany-ah..." Taeyeon's heart fluttered at Tiffany's words
He couldn't help it because his body moved on it's own
He gently placed his hand on Tiffany's soft cheek which made her look up
Their eyes met full of love and passion
The same went for the kiss they shared a second after
So passionate and full of love and affection
Time seemed to have stopped between them
When they pulled away Taeyeon's warm hand still rested on Tiffany's cold cheek to
warm it up

One more peck later the smile on Tiffany's face slowly went down as she saw the smile
on Taeyeon's face turn into a serious face Taeyeon rarely ever makes
"Fany-ah...I have something to tell you." Taeyeon started slowly which made Tiffany
worry of what it was
"What...is it ?" She bit her lower lip getting really scared of what Taeyeon might say

"I'm...going back to work this Monday"

Ahh...
Although it didn't last long...
It was a wonderful day
So that's what it was
They were going back to that time again
That time before any of this happened
That time when all Taeyeon did was work none stop
That time when she hated the hell out of her self
Just when she thought it was all over
It's all coming back again

"Don't...don't cry!! Fany-ah" Taeyeon panic a little when he saw the silent tears slide
from Tiffany's eyes to her delicate cheeks as they both sat up
"Fany-ah don't cry" Taeyeon's heart clenched tightly at the sight of his wife crying in
pain
He felt a lump in his throat forming but he hardly swallowed
After all...this time wasn't his place to cry
"Fany-ah...I swear...I swear to god...I swear on my life...this time will be different"
Taeyeon never lied
Tiffany knew that
"This time won't be the same and this is my promise to you"

Taeyeon promised

And Tiffany believed him

Well

It's been a little bit over a month since Taeyeon has gone back to work
He's keeping his promise alright
His schedule has completely changed since then
Wake up, go to work, go back home in the evening to spend time with Tiffany wither it's
having dinner inside/outdoors or just stay at home and be around each other's presence
Pretty much everything has gone back to normal
And as in normal it means the way they used to be before Taeyeon started with the Italy
hotel project
The first day Taeyeon finally got back to work Sunny literally broke down in tears and
not just because she was happy to see him all healthy and energized but because she
can finally get a relief from doing tasks in place of Taeyeon. Though Yuri has been
helping when he could by attending important business and signing contract and even
the investment state got better but still the work load was way more than Sunny is used
to
Taeyeon made a mental note to send thank you gift to all their friends for all the support
and the help they received from them
Over all, life has been great
"Tae, here's the files you asked for" Sunny held up a file out of a pile she was carrying
to Taeyeon's desk
Taeyeon who was busy talking on the phone gestured for her to put them down next to
the PC

Sunny sat there for a while waiting for Taeyeon to finish with the phone call before he
finally hung up and sighed stressfully
"Tired much ?" Sunny chuckled as she stood behind Taeyeon's chair and massaged his
stiff shoulders
"A little...thanks" Taeyeon answered after putting his arms on his eyes to block the lights
"I wanted to ask you about Italy's branch for a while now but what are you going to do ?
everything is already in place and there is left is for you to be there and cut that ribbon
with those scissors and we're done"
Taeyeon sighed again
"I'm waiting to catch up with all of this shit that has been piling up" Taeyeon clicked his
tongue
"When you're done will you give me a vacation ?" Sunny smiled cutely looking at
Taeyeon from the side
Although he couldn't see her he knew exactly what kind of face she was making. She
isn't his cousin for nothing after all
"Sure why not" Taeyeon said tiredly
"YES I LOVE YOU TAENG!!" Sunny jumped from excitement
"It's almost spring break...go on a vacation with Soo or something, when was the last
time you traveled for a reason other than business ?" Taeyeon removed his arm from
his eyes and looked at Sunny sideways not having the energy to even muster up an
expression other than his resting b*tch face
"I don't know like...3 years ago ?" Sunny said bitterly

"Exactly...I will be on a vacation too soon, you go on one too"

"What ? weren't you on one for two months not long ago ?"
"That's different, your argument is invalid"
"Okay gosh, you became such a know-it-all" Taeyeon raised an eyebrow at that
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"No I'm n--..."
Their petty argument was interrupted when a knock on the door was heard
"Come in" Taeyeon announced
The door opened to reveal a delivery guy with two drink containers
"Um...I was asked to deliver this to this location by Mr. Choi Sooyoung " Sunny's ears
immediately perked up at the mention of her boyfriend's name
"Sooyoung ?" Taeyeon questioned as the delivery guy placed the pack with the plastic
containers on his desk and bowed before leaving
"This is fresh organic juice" Sunny announced after taking a sip from one of the
containers
"Dear Bunny, my body is simply crazy with wanting you. If you dont come tomorrow. I
dont see how I can wait for you. I wonder if your body wants mine the way mine wants
yours, the kisses, the hotness, the wetness, all melting together, the being held so tight

that it hurts, the strangle and the struggle." Taeyeon read the note that came with the
pack
"Oh my god!! that is so sweet...and hot!!...as f*ck!! my baby is so sweet~" Sunny cooed
while hugging the container
"Yeah...*chuckle*...your baby" Taeyeon smiled smugly obviously making fun of the age
gab between the two
"Yah!!"
"Hehehehe"
"..."
"He's so getting some tonight" Sunny said with an erotic look on her face
"Yah!! don't do that stuff in front of me!! ugh just go home already!!" Taeyeon grimaced
after seeing the look on Sunny's face and the way she changed the way she was
standing up
"Okay thanks Taeng!!" Sunny took that as a quo for her to leave work early and go to
the arms of her sweet blue haired boyfriend
Taeyeon was speechless for a moment before he sighed loudly and chuckled
He drank his share of the delicious juice before going back to work
A couple of hours later he decided that he was done for the day and it was time to go
home
Just the thought of going home and seeing his wife's face turn his mood upside down,
from grumpy to happy

He picked up his sweater and pulled it over his white dress shirt before folding up the
sleeves a little
He turned the lights of his office and off and didn't forget to lock the door and even
check on Sunny's desk if it was locked or not
All through out his way of the building he has been humming with the most adorable
smile on his face
A rare sight to see these days
He put his laptop bag in the passenger seat before driving away
He pressed the green call button on his phone to his wife and the sound of the phone
ringing echoed all over the car
A few more rings later there was no pick up
He tried the same a couple more times but to no avail
Weird
Tiffany never fails to pick his calls or rather she's the one who calls first half of the time
now
He suddenly felt down because of the failed attempts of hearing his wife's voice and felt
the stress eating his body away
He cracked his neck right and left trying to get more relaxed and get rid of the stiffness
Remembering his wife's eye smile succeeded in bringing the smile back on his face
He sped up a little more looking forward to seeing her but still in the speed limits
Once he was in the parking lot he lowered the sun visor and opened the little mirror

He fixed a few strands in his now short dark brown hair and closed it with a smile

He fixed his clothes in the elevator while waiting for it to reach 20 and all the while his
heart has been racing like crazy in anticipation of seeing Tiffany
Once it reached 20 he quickly put in the passcode and the door opened with a ding
He didn't bother to call for her or anything because he thought that she might be taking
a nap or something and he might disturb her
He looked around the penthouse quietly taking his time from room to room until only
one room was left

The bedroom
He stood in front of the slightly open door of the bedroom and listened quietly to the
noise coming from inside
He put his hand on the handle with a smile and pushed it open
Once the bedroom was in full view Taeyeon's smile dropped and he felt something
weird in his chest

Tiffany was there

With only a short towel covering her glorious wet body

And sexy music was playing

And no one else

"Oh you're home, I was just about to call you back" Tiffany smiled at Taeyeon who
swallowed hard
"You were in the shower ?" Taeyeon said nervously getting further in the room and sat
on the edge of the bed
"Yeah, I accidently spilled sauce all over myself" Tiffany frowned at the memory
"Sauce ? what were you doing ?" Taeyeon frowned back
"What I was doing ?" Tiffany smirked
"Why the best meal you will ever have in your life of course" Tiffany smiled proudly
Taeyeon chuckled at Tiffany's cuteness

"Change first and then we eat" Tiffany went inside their walk in closet to get dressed
and Taeyeon hesitated to go in
She did say get changed but then she goes in her self to get dressed
If this was like before he would just go in without a care in the world and get dressed
But it isn't
Therefore he should wait until she's done and then he goes in himself
That's right, he should just wa--...
"Tae ? why aren't you in here yet ?" Tiffany said from inside the closet which made
Taeyeon freeze in his place
What does this mean ?
Should he go in ?
But Tiffany is in the middle of dressing up there and he will have to get naked too and
that would be way too awkward
"Tae ?"
"I...I need to pee" Taeyeon announced making his great escape to the bathroom where
he planned to stay there until his raging heart calms down a little and Tiffany was done
dressing up
On the other side Tiffany didn't give it much thought and proceeded to dress up
As Taeyeon expected when he was out of the bathroom Tiffany was already done and
was standing In front of their nightstand with a frown on her face

"What's wrong ?" Tiffany's expression immediately relaxed when she heard Taeyeon's
voice
"Oh nothing, go change and let's eat" Tiffany smile made Taeyeon also smile
Taeyeon successfully managed to get changed into more comfortable set of clothing
and made his way to the dining room where an amazing table of food was waiting for
him with some of his favorite foods
"God I love you" Taeyeon didn't realize he even said that as he stared lovingly at the
table
"Me or the food ?" Tiffany chuckled
"Both" Taeyeon answered taking a seat and not taking his eyes off the food
"Nope, you gotta choose one" Tiffany also took a seat in front of him
"Then you" Tiffany smiled at sweet Taeyeon who was almost drooling for looking at the
gorgeous presentation of the food alone
"Thanks for the meal" Taeyeon smiled widely before grabbing his chopsticks and
devouring the food in front of him
"THAT. IS. GOOD" Taeyeon said after swallowing the first bite which made Tiffany
giggle at his cuteness
"Good to know"
A couple of hours later they were cuddling under a warm blanket in front of the TV
enjoying each other's warmth
"Fany-ah" Taeyeon started without looking at Tiffany
"Hm ?" And Tiffany did the same

"Let's go on a vacation" That grabbed Tiffany's attention and made her look up at
Taeyeon's face
"Vacation ? where to ?"
"Italy"
"Oh..." Tiffany remembered the talk they had months ago about going to Italy
"..."
"Great when are we setting off ?" Tiffany asked cheerfully
"..."
"What, really ?" Taeyeon looked down to meet Tiffany's gorgeous eyes in surprise that
she agreed this fast
"Yes really, I mean...why not ?"
"Okay then, I will book a flight, how does this weekend sound ?" Taeyeon asked
remembering Tiffany's work schedule and the things she needs to submit in certain
times
"Sounds good to me"
"Okay then"
"Okay"

*Yawn*
"Sleepy ?" Taeyeon asked Tiffany who was sitting next to him in the airplane
"Yeah, a little"
"Well we did stay late to pack, we're gonna be here for almost 12 hours, might as well
get some sleep" Tiffany nodded before closing her eyes
While Tiffany was sleeping Taeyeon took the chance to open his laptop and do some
work he needed to catch up with
The trip in the airplane was peaceful nonetheless
When they got off the airplane a chauffeur was waiting for them to drive them to the new
hotel
"Wow" Tiffany said in aw
"Yeah..." And Taeyeon had the same expression as her
Even though it's his own it's the first time he's in it

The staff were running all around the place preparing for the grand opening that's
happening tomorrow
"Oh signor Kim, Sei gi qui !! Mi dispiace tanto per fare te e tua moglie attendere (Oh
Mr. Kim, You're here already!! I'm so sorry for making you and your wife wait)" A middle
aged man with a fabulous mustache came running in panic at the sight of Taeyeon and
Tiffany waiting for someone to attend to them
Taeyeon and Tiffany looked at each other and back at the man
They realized that they didn't think this through
Both of them don't know much Italian
The man panicked more after not receiving a response from the two
"Permettetemi di guidarvi alla vostra camera (Please allow me to guide you to your
room)"
"Camera ?" Taeyeon questioned
"Ah I know this one, I think it means room"
"Oh maybe he wants to take us to our room ?" Taeyeon asked
"Wait..." Tiffany struggled to find something in her purse and when she finally found it
Taeyeon realized that Tiffany was carrying a dictionary and though
How thoughtless of me
"Search on how to ask him to repeat what he said" Taeyeon said in a hurry at the sight
of the man sweating and almost dying in his place
"Ugh...um...ri...ripetere..." The man immediately understood what the two were trying to
say and repeated what he said

"Permettetemi di...guidarvi...alla vostra camera" The man repeated more slowly

"Guidarvi means guide !!" Tiffany found the word right away
"So he dose want to guide us to our room ?" Taeyeon frowned
"I think so" Taeyeon turned to the man with the most professional smile he could muster
"s grazie (Yes, please)" Taeyeon said the couple of words he knew the meaning of and
the man has never been happier in his whole life

"We seriously need to learn some Italian" Taeyeon stretched as they finally made it to
their room and immediately laid on the super comfy bed
"Already on it" Taeyeon glanced up at Tiffany who was shaking the dictionary in front of
him

"You do so...I'm gonna rest for a bit cause I think my head is gonna break apart" Tiffany
giggled at Taeyeon's cuteness
"You're probably just jet lagged" Tiffany laid on the same bed opposite direction of
Taeyeon and started massaging his temples to lessen the headache
Taeyeon opened his eyes slowly and looked at Tiffany's beautiful face
She looked just as tired as him but here she is tending to him
"Thanks...you're so nice" Taeyeon chuckled and put his warm hand on Tiffany's cheek
Tiffany just smiled and leaned in for a kiss
Once they're lips connected they engaged in a long make out session
A few minutes went by before Tiffany pulled away
"Wow...*pant* that was weird" Taeyeon chuckled at what Tiffany said
"It's our first time kissing upside down, wasn't that bad if I may say" Taeyeon smiled
"Wasn't bad at all.." Tiffany smiled back and leaned in again
"Fany-ah..."Taeyeon tried to talk between kisses
"Hm ?" Tiffany responded with a hum
"I love you" Taeyeon breathed before the kiss got hotter
"I love you more" Tiffany replayed with a hazy smile before diving in again
Fany-ah..
You will never love me half as much as I love you

Italy
"TaeTae.." Tiffany called not looking away from her phone
"Yea ?" Taeyeon responded not looking away from the mirror as he fixed his messy wet
hair
"Where the hell are Sunny and Soo ?" Taeyeon frowned
"Where ? On vacation, don't know where they went though"
"Look..." Tiffany raised her phone to Taeyeon who turned around only to be looking at
an Instagram post on Sooyoung's
A selfie of him and Sunny in swim wear, shades and wet hair under the sun
There was no tags or any text with it
Only the picture
"The hell ?" Taeyeon raised an eyebrow
"I will give them a call later" Taeyeon chuckled and Turned around to continue fixing his
hair
Tonight will be very eventful for Taeyeon
Tonight is the good results of his hard work
Tonight is the grand opening of the hotel
This hotel is the first big project Taeyeon has ever worked on since his dad gave him
the corporation
Everything must up to perfection for him to be satisfied with himself
He had already called his parents a while ago to inform them of the opening

Oh how super amazing it felt when his dad said over the phone "I'm proud of you"
Taeyeon couldn't stop smiling for the whole week at that time
"Alright" Taeyeon finished getting ready with a sigh
"Do I look good ?" Tiffany raised an eyebrow at that
"And when do you ever not look good ?"
"What ? Really ? well I do make an effort so.." Taeyeon turned around to fix a few
strand of his hair to make it more symmetrical
"Aigoo *sigh* such a perfectionist" Tiffany squinted at the sight
"What~? I'm not ? I think..." Taeyeon frowned a paused to think
"You are a perfectionist TaeTae, you think I don't noticed the difference in the our closet
every time I fold the laundry ? can't you already settle down with one place for your
underwear ? also that one time when you were late for work because you were trying
not to leave any creases on our bed sheets and you're laptop oh god don't get me
started on your laptop--..."
"Okay okay, Jesus Christ Fany-ah I never thought you noticed any of that" Taeyeon got
embarrassed after realizing that he was caught making the bed sheets even that one
time
"I did notice of course, because I'm always looking at you" Tiffany smiled
Taeyeon's heart was set a flutter
Tiffany has been paying attention to him all along
"Aww how cute, Taeyeon you're blushing"

"What ? *chuckle* that might be because you just set my heart fluttering" Tiffany died
inside a little when Taeyeon covered his mouth with the back of his hand in attempt to
hide the blush on his face
"When did you get so cheesy ?"
"You tell me" Taeyeon smirked getting closer to the bed edge where Tiffany is sitting
and got his knees on both sides of Tiffany
Tiffany also smirked and put her hands on Taeyeon's waist that is starting to get to a
healthy size again
Both of them leaned in to the delicious kiss and got lost in their little world forgetting
about everything around them
"Wait *pant* we're reversed" Taeyeon breathlessly after leaning out of the kiss to look at
their weird position
"Oh just accept it Tae you like it this way don't you ?" Tiffany smirked and hugged his
waist tighter
Taeyeon had a confused face for a second before he smirked and let out
a throaty chuckle
A warm hand on Tiffany's neck made her look up at Taeyeon
The most seductive smirk was on his face
"I think we'll need to review on who's the husband here" Taeyeon spoke in her ear
Tiffany felt her whole body heat up and a pool starting between her legs as Taeyeon's
soft hands went over her arms slowly pushing her down the bed
Tiffany started into Taeyeon's deep eyes as both of them got stuck in a trance

They looked at each other's lips feeling hungry for each other before letting out a little
chuckle
Their lips connected into a a slow kiss
Taeyeon planted feather-light kisses barely grazing over Tiffany's lips that put both of
them at ease
Tiffany thanked god that she didn't put any lipstick or lip gloss today because that would
have only ruined this amazing kiss by drying her lips out and making them taste not that
good
On the other hand Taeyeon who didn't know any of that stuff enjoyed every bit of
Tiffany's soft, smooth and slightly moist perfect full lips
Feeling all relaxed and comfy, the kiss got more sensual. The sound of lips
intertwining together filled the room.
Slow and gentle
That was the kind of kiss both of them liked
Tiffany opened her eyes just a little bit feeling the tension build up only to find Taeyeon
too lost in her lips which made her smile into the kiss and close her eyes again
Taeyeon also smiled into the kiss feeling Tiffany's arms wrap around his neck and
slightly pulling him in more
Their lips locked and Taeyeon's lower lip is now trapped between Tiffany's lips that
lasted for less than a second before Taeyeon did the same
Taeyeon's tongue slowly slid into Tiffany's mouth and went under her tongue which
made Tiffany moan a little and ticked her to respond more to the kiss and started

moving her tongue around Taeyeon's attempting in making him react vocally to what
their doing
Taeyeon retreated his tongue and it was Tiffany's turn to control the kiss more by sliding
her own tongue into Taeyeon's warm mouth
Just the mere act of their lips touching turned both of them on greatly making the action
get faster
Doing so back and forth made them start breathing a bit roughly as they kissed more
and more passionately by the minute pulling back every now and then to take small
breaths with their foreheads still touching and sharing small smiles then diving back into
the kiss and it's still as heated as before if not more
Taeyeon let out a groan when Tiffany pulled out and immediately connected their lips
again letting Tiffany successfully make him react vocally
Taeyeon sped up the kiss for a few seconds before slowing it down again which left
them both breathless again but Tiffany went in for a deep shallow kiss right after getting
a breath
Taeyeon who felt bolder than usual put a little more pressure in his tongue and kept it in
motion which made him think that he might be enjoying this a little too much
Shrugging that aside he went straight for the back of Tiffany's teeth after a quick breath
which made Tiffany get a little ticklish and lightly bite his lower lip which made him let
out a little moan before going in again
Taeyeon didn't know how this happened but he found him self under Tiffany with one
hand over her arousing hips while the other is in her hair massaging and one of her
hands on his red cheek while the other is also rubbing gentley in his hair

They both were unconsciously getting touchy with each other's bodies which only added
more to the amazing sensation
"You're so good" Tiffany tried to say breathlessly which succeeded to get a chuckle out
of Taeyeon before she brushed his lips with her own without actually kissing him
"And you're being a meanie" Taeyeon shot Tiffany with the cutest pout which made her
heart beat very loudly that even Taeyeon hear it
"I can't tell if it's my heart or yours that I'm hearing" Taeyeon chuckled
"I think it might be both" Tiffany also chuckled before going back in to continue the best
and the most fun make out session they ever had so far
Once they both were sure that they were going to die soon if they don't stop to breath
probably they both pulled out as if they had the same thought and smiled at each other
They kept their foreheads connected as they caught their breath and the smiles could
not leave their faces
"I think you need to do your hair again" Tiffany laughed at Taeyeon's ridiculously spiky
hair
How did it get like that ?
Judging from what they were just doing they might have a hint
"Yeah ahh...uhm...*cough* *cough* I need a little exercise" Tiffany frowned as Taeyeon
swiftly got off the bed covering his crouch and went in straight to the bathroom
"Did he...get a..." Tiffany blushed deeply as she stared at the bathroom door and bit her
plump sore lips
What am I going to do ?

On the other side Taeyeon was sitting down on the toilet seat and got up then sat down
and got up again
He repeated this action for 30 seconds until his privets were calmed down and made a
mental note in his mind to thank Sooyoung for teaching him this
He made his hair again and adjusted his clothes before going out again only to find
Tiffany speaking on the phone with who seemed like on of their friends,probably Jessica
since she switched to white girls English
"Oh my god Jessie, I told you I'm bringing prosciutto!! get over it already, pizza
can't make it through a 12 hours flight and still stay fresh!!"
Yup, definitely Jessica
He quietly passed by Tiffany making his way tot eh kitchen and felt her stare on his
back
Once he opened the fridge he immediately chugged a bottle of water to get rid of the
dryness in his mouth
His eyes almost jumped out of their sockets when he looked at the time and realized
that he just spent two hours making out and it's already time to go down the lobby
After quickly changing into his dark suit & tie Taeyeon was busy putting on his watch
that he only wears at formal events because who needs a watch anymore when you
have your phone ?
Tiffany put on a gorgeous red dress that hugged her curves perfectly and took
Taeyeon's breath away once he saw her. Tiffany has always looked her best in red and
Taeyeon liked every single bit of it

They went down to the already crowded lobby and Taeyeon looked around proud of his
work
This is all happening after blood, sweat and tears
"Taeyeon-ah...this is amazing" Tiffany was amazed by everything. the furniture, flowers,
plants, paintings, lighting and the over all color scheme were all on fleek. the soft jazz
music the live band was playing made the atmosphere more enjoyable and the mood
seemed very bright
Tiffany felt happy when Taeyeon introduced her to the people who came up to talk to
him as his wife
Even though It's almost 3 years since they got married it's still new to them to introduce
each other to people as each other's spouse
Taeyeon's speech was very short and scripted because he gets really awkward in front
of big crowds and the longer the speech will get the more chance of him screwing up
andembarrassing himself in front of all these important people and not to mention the
media cameras that were pointed at him
The soft opening Taeyeon did previously was a big success which makes it guaranteed
that the grand opening will be an explosion especially for a part of chain hotels like this
one
What makes this one different is that the new owner worked on this one
Not the famous successful business man Kim Minjong but his son who people didn't
know existed before Kim Minjong stepped down his high chair
If you looked really hard at the people attending this party you will see that 30% of them
are either presidents of rivaling companies or their minions

Taeyeon however wasn't ticked off by any of them and acted naturally not really minding
their attendance, in fact. some of them was his idea to invite. Just to show them that he
wasn't there to just continue on the success his dad has already built but to make it
bigger and get more
Greed
Taeyeon smelled it in the air around these people
"Ah...I'm so tired" Taeyeon slumped a little once he reached the refreshments table and
to his luck he found Tiffany there
"Haha here eat some" Tiffany held a chocolate covered strawberry in front of Taeyeon's
mouth
Taeyeon looked at it confused for a minute, his brain wasn't functioning probably after
all that little talk that he could barely muster
"Umm...dis is good..." Taeyeon smiled in bless at the sweet taste in his mouth
When the last bit of it was gone he was about to ask for another one but a tap on his
shoulder stopped him
"Hello stranger" A familiar deep voice spoke in English
That voice...could it be...?
Once Taeyeon fully turned around he got lost in beautiful light blue eyes
"Rob ?! I didn't think you would make it!" Taeyeon was so surprised to see Rob
Robin Hart, an American 30 years old gay man who owns a famous film producing
studios in Ohio where Taeyeon had met him over 3 months ago to negotiate the

managing system ownership and not to mention what happened between them that one
night
Taeyeon had invited Rob to the opening but didn't really think that he would come all the
way across the north Atlantic ocean from Ohio to Italy just to attend but here he is with
all his glory
"Haha, surprised much ?" Rob laughed softly at Taeyeon and pulled him into a short
hug which Taeyeon gladly accepted
"Yup! I'm so happy you made it" Taeyeon smiled widely at the blonde man he melted
on the inside because of him
"I wouldn't miss it, congratulation Taeyeon, this is something to be very proud of"
Rob smiled gently which made Taeyeon get a little shy
"Thank you...Oh!! Rob, I want you to meet my wife, Tiffany...Tiffany, this is Mr.
Robin Hart. he owns film producing studios in Ohio" Taeyeon introduced the two
"Oh...Hello...I see Taeyeon here doesn't only have good taste in choosing a good
suit but also in choosing a good women...it's very nice to meet you" Tiffany
blushed at the compliment Rob threw at her and stifled a giggle
"Thank you, it's very nice to meet you too" Tiffany's smiled wavered a little as she too
got lost in Rob's gentle blue eyes and his fine features
After a few minutes of getting friendly, Tiffany excused herself to the ladies room which
left Taeyeon alone with Rob
"Are you happy now, Taeyeon ?" Rob suddenly blurted as he stared at the variety of
refreshments to choose from

Taeyeon looked at him side ways a little confused before he understood what he Rob
meant and smiled a little painfully
"Yeah...I'm happy...very..." Taeyeon chuckled at his own lousy replay and the smile on
his face went down when he saw how painful the smile on Rob's face was
"Good for you.." Taeyeon looked apologetic at Rob and opened his mouth to apologize
but Rob beat him in speaking first
"You know Taeyeon...I never stopped thinking about you since then...I tried to
forget but I just couldn't...I thought by coming here I would get a chance with you
but...ha...when I saw you with your wife...the smile on your face...I realized that I
wasn't the one...I don't think I could ever get you to smile at me like that..I thought
of leaving without saying anything but, who am I kidding, I hate leaving things
undone so.."
Taeyeon looked at Rob's alluring sad eyes but didn't say anything
He didn't know what to say
"I have fallen in love with you on first sight" Taeyeon looked at Rob in surprise and
just stood there awkwardly after the new info sank in
"I...I don't know what to say.." Taeyeon looked down not daring to look at Rob right
now
"You don't have to say anything, It will be very hard to get over you *chuckle*"
"I...I'm sure that you will find the right person someday, a person who can make
you smile like I do" Rob smiled gently at that
"Thank you...I wish you have a wonderful life full of happiness and laughers, good
bye Taeyeon" Rob turned around and made his way thought the crowd

Taeyeon just stood there and watched Rob's back disappear in the crowd
What a man
When Tiffany got back she noticed that Taeyeon was alone with a sad look on his face
"What's wrong ? where is Robin ?" Taeyeon looked at her and smiled brightly
"He went back home, let's enjoy our selves Fany-ah" Taeyeon held Tiffany's hand and
looked at her appreciating every bit of her existing
"What's up with you all of a sudden ? you're acting weird" Tiffany chuckled at Taeyeon's
cuteness
"Nothing! I'm just glad to be here with you right now" Tiffany's heart skipped a beat and
she stared deep in Taeyeon's eyes
"Yeah...me too" Tiffany held Taeyeon's hand just as tightly

The next day Taeyeon and Tiffany woke up in the afternoon and Tiffany was surprised
by how crowded the lobby was and felt proud that this whole place belongs to her hard
working husband
The two went out for a late lunch
And damn, nothing beats pure Italian pizza margherita on the street side of Florence
After lunch they went to take a stroll around the boboli gardens not forgetting to take a
bunch of pictures
They rode a train after from Florence to Venice for two hours so when they arrived it
was already evening
They went in Doge's palace and were stunned by the gold plated ceiling and frescoed
walls
After they were done with the museum they went to dinner, tramezzini and spritz were
definitely things they wanted to try not to forget frittole for desert
Although one of the most romantic things they did together was going for the gondola
ride
It was like their honeymoon all over again
They couldn't keep their hands off each other for the whole day until they reached the
hotel room they were staying at that night
After Taeyeon was done with his shower he took a seat on the edge of the bed and
opened his phone for the first time that day
Where are you ? What are you doing ?

He texted Sunny remembering the picture Tiffany showed him the previous morning
An immediate replay came
About to have the best sex I ever had in my life in sharm el sheikh
Taeyeon grimaced at the answer and threw his phone away to god knows where
"Oh my god..." Taeyeon gagged a little and immediately went for the little fridge to get
some water
As he held up a bottle water to his mouth and chugged the water his attention was
bought to the bathroom door that just opened revealing Tiffany in the sexiest nightgown
he had ever seen her in

Wait...

What ?

He didn't even realize the water sliding on his chin as he watched Tiffany walk to the
bed swaying her hips in front of his eyes
She turned around and sat on the bed then pushed her self to the bed post with the
most sexual look on her face that Taeyeon wondered if he had nose bleed yet

"Come here TaeTae" and the husky voice came

"Oh my god..."

Lust

Taeyeon had no clue what had gotten into Tiffany at that point
All he knew was that after being frozen in place with his mouth agape he was being
pulled onto the bed by his wife, their lips pressed firmly against each other while
intertwining torridly with each other's.
Tiffany held her breath when Taeyeon began necking her slowly and gently.
She gasped a little bit, surprised how his tongue felt so warm and soft against her neck.
"Yeah, Tae... That's it." She moaned softly
Taeyeon's head was in a complete daze.
Although he had been quite surprised with his wife a few minutes ago, seeing her in that
sexy nightgown and such, that didn't stop him from wanting Tiffany all to himself.
He was anticipating the moment they could finally get together and make love again for
a while now.

Yeah, that felt a little weird for Taeyeon to think, but he just couldn't help himself and his
lustful thoughts.
"Lower.." he heard Tiffany whisper softly.
Deciding to go a bit slower, Taeyeon slowly made his way down Tiffany's body and
began planting soft, gentle kisses on her skin.
He felt the soft, velvety fabric of her nightgown as he trailed down her perfect body,
feeling her soft, creamy skin as well.
She felt so perfect to Taeyeon, it was just so unbelievable and he couldn't even get
enough of her.
Soon enough, the top part of Tiffany's was completely undone and her breasts perked
up.
He noticed her nipples fully erect due to the coldness surrounding them and quickly
engulfed them into his mouth, wanting to warm them.
He went slow and gentle as usual, licking softly against her areola and lightly on her left
nipple for a few minutes.
Taeyeon kissed the outside of Tiffany's breast once more before attacking her nipple
and began sucking and kissing them.
Tiffany gasped a little at his sudden movement, but relaxed and let herself drown in the
embrace of her husband.
His tongue and kisses felt so lovely and warm against her cold skin, making her whole
body shiver and that much hornier and wetter as time flew by.
But as much as Tiffany was enjoying the moment, she was getting impatient as well.

"Ah fuck... Tae... hurry."

Tiffany groaned as she met Taeyeon's eyes.
"I... want you..." Taeyeon arched his eyebrows, seeing that his wife looking more horny
than she had ever been.
He didn't really know how to respond at first, since he was always so gentle and calm
when it came to sex, but he finally got a grip on himself and decided to go faster.
After all it's been a very long time since the last time he had a taste of Tiffany
And this time he intend on marking every part of her as his own, heart and body
He literally pulled her body closer to his and, in one swift motion, pulled her dress off.
Tiffany's eyes widened a bit at first.
She was shocked at Taeyeon since he was normally so gentle with her, but soon smiled
naughtily at him, giving Taeyeon her full consent.
She liked the idea of pulling out a completely different side of him with few single
actions and words
Taeyeon kissed her fully on the lips before making his way to her jawline, neck, collar
bone, breasts, her beautiful erect nipples and to her stomach.
He licked and kissed her bare stomach, making circle motions with his tongue, tasting
the luscious skin of his wife before going lower.
Like always, Taeyeon was nervous, even though he wasn't acting that way, but
continued to make his way to the inside of her thighs.
He rubbed the inside of Tiffany's thighs before kissing at them gently successfully
getting out quick breaths from her

And when he hotly breathed on her crotch area, Tiffany trembled profusely.
"Aahh... Shit, Tae..." She huffed.
"Please... k-keep going..."
Taeyeon kissed the warm area of Tiffany's crotch gently before plunging his head into
her and began licking the inside of her folds.
He felt the wetness of her labia lips and smelled her sweet aroma as he continued to
suck and lick inside her.
Again, he could feel Tiffany tremble and shiver under his touch, but she moaned in
satisfaction, letting Taeyeon know that he could continue with pleasuring her.
He went more aggressive, sucking at her nub and licking around her labia lips.
Her sweet taste was driving his mind haywire, making his lustful actions increase on her
tenfold.
Taeyeon found that he was fully engulfed into his wife's insides, his tongue making
circles in her cunt while his mouth sucked her as well.
It wasn't long before he felt her cunt muscles tremble around his tongue, signaling her
impending orgasm.
With a stifled moan that shook Taeyeon's insides, Tiffany finally released her juices,
causing Taeyeon to lap them up quickly.
He savored her sweet taste as she released and continued to lap her up like a wild
animal feeding on its prey.
Once he was finished, Taeyeon sat up and looked at his wife who was panting heavily.
Their eyes met in a lustful manner... Taeyeon knew what was next.

And that was one moment both of them cherished

Because when they looked at each other in these steamy moments they wouldn't only
find lust in each other's eyes
There is love
Want
Craving
Passion
And lust was definitely one of the things that existed between them
Taeyeon's pants and boxers were already jumbled up to his knees.
He quickly tore his shirt off as Tiffany sat him near the edge of the bed with and sat on
the floor between his thighs
She grabbed his erection and jacked him off slowly before kissing the tip she hasn't
seen in a while and engulfed and sucked him off aggressively.
Taeyeon gasped and instinctively threw his head back gripping on the bed sheets,
feeling his dick being infiltrated by her warm mouth and wet tongue.
She bobbed her head up and down on Taeyeon while giving him the sweetest puppy
dog eyes as her tongue would occasionally lick the underside of his shaft.
This was one of Tiffany's favorite moments during sex
The moment when Taeyeon surrenders to her and just let her do whatever she wants
and give her the best reactions ever
"Oh my god...uhh"

Taeyeon panted, feeling his wife's tongue and mouth attack his dick mercilessly.
"So good, Fany..."
Yes, feel it more TaeTae
He felt himself about to give in at that point, completely ready to let his load go.
They both made eye contact with each other and Tiffany's eyes gave a clear message
that she wanted to suck every bit of cum that he had to offer.
Taeyeon was rarely ever down with that because he knows that it doesn't taste that
good but Tiffany liked doing it to him because the embarrassed look on his face turns
her on the best
"So.. sexy..."
He blew his load only a few minutes later, and of course, Tiffany sucked and licked
every sticky spunk he had to offer.
Taeyeon gasped again, feeling her tongue swirl and explore every part of his member
then finally finish.
Tiffany stood up on the bed on her knees and gave Taeyeon who's sitting down a hard
kiss, twirling tongues all the way.
They broke the kiss a couple minutes later, gasping for breath.
"I need you inside me..." Tiffany sounded desperate as she whispered, scaring the hell
out of Taeyeon
"Now!"
He didn't even have to think twice about it.

In one swift motion, Taeyeon picked his wife off the floor with her arms around his neck
and her legs around his lower torso.
He could feel his erection press against her crotch as he roughly sat her on the surface
of the dresser.
Their mouths were still pressed firmly on each other while their tongues intertwined
quite messily.
"Put it... in me..." Tiffany gasped as she broke away from their kiss, nibbling at
Taeyeon's ear right after.
Her talking literally started a hurricane in Taeyeon's brain and drove him insane so,
wasting no time at all, he quickly guided his member and placed it on her wet entrance,
wetting his dick with her seeping wetness and put it into her tight snatch.
He felt her inner walls pulsate against his member, causing him to groan out
loud. Tiffany began digging her fingernails into his back as she felt his fat member
inside her. After finally adjusting she opened her eyes and saw Taeyeon with his head
back, mouth slightly open and a deep blush across his cheeks
What a beautiful sight
She bit her lower lip feeling herself get way hornier than she ever been
Taeyeon was truly a sexy, beautiful man with lots of charms
And I own him
Taeyeon began thrusting into her cunt, feeling his fullness inside her, making her much
hornier than she was before.
"Ah, shit, Fany... So tight..."

He couldn't help but thrust into her like a horny jackrabbit.

His mind was full of her with the thought of over writing everything in the back of his
head
After moments passed, he was drilling himself faster into her than he was before.
Tiffany's butt was still placed on the dresser as he kissed and licked her neck, pumping
himself harder and faster into her.
Five minutes passed and they were both drenched in sweat.
Taeyeon kissed her on the lips once more before picking her up and throwing her on the
bed, still not breaking their hot connection.
Taeyeon sat on his knees as he grabbed onto Tiffany's waist and pumped himself faster
inside her, feeling the friction of their skins as they slapped loudly against each other.
"Ah... fuck... Tae... Harder! Faster!...so good!" Tiffany moaned.
Taeyeon thought she was almost insane for saying that, mostly because he was
humping her as fast as possible.
But he decided to try his best and take it a notch higher by pressing his upper body
against hers.
Tiffany's breasts squished against his chest as he leaned closer to her.
His hips continue to thrust fast and hard into her, so hard that he was literally moving
her across the bed as he fucked her relentlessly.
"Ahh... Ahh... Yeah! Just like that, Tae!" She breathed hotly into his ear as he
continued to thrust hard into her.
Taeyeon switched from nibbling to her ear to her neck, leaving soft kisses once a while.

Tiffany's breath was starting to shake a bit more now, signaling that she was probably
going to cum soon.
"My turn..." Tiffany spoke again, causing Taeyeon to become confused.
It was only a minute later where Tiffany was found sitting on top, grinding her butt
against his groin.
It was a complete blur for Taeyeon but the feeling of Tiffany on top of him was so
wonderful that he grabbed her waist again and began thrusting.
Tiffany placed her hands on his chest and grinded her hips against him as he thrusted
into her.
The rhythm was confusing, neither consistent, but the feeling of her tight walls made
Taeyeon feel so good that he continued.
He looked up Tiffany to see her mouth slightly open and her hair disheveled as she rode
him like a wild cowgirl.
"Damn it Fany, do it at your own pace, okay?"
He panted as he noticed Tiffany starting to rock herself on him even faster and harder.
The bed was creaking tremendously loud at that point and Taeyeon worried if Tiffany
was tiring herself out at that point.
But, no, Tiffany continued... for a while...
The next few hours consisted of them fucking each other silly in different positions,
cumming multiple times.

"Oh my god..." Tiffany panted as she fell on top of her husband.

"That... was so amazing..."

"Yeah..." Taeyeon panted, looking up at the ceiling.
"It was..."
It was comfortable silence for a while as both of them finally regained their normal
breathing pace
Taeyeon wasn't thinking of anything that could bring headache as usual
Instead he was just feeling the warmth beside him and smile to himself
He had missed that warmth so much
Maybe they should do that again
Not have sex for some time than do it so it's more amazing
"TaeTae ?" Tiffany started not taking her eyes off the ceiling
"Hm ?"
"I love you, will you please stay with me forever ?"
At that moment Tiffany was super insecure at the silence
She looked sideways at Taeyeon who had a poker face and still looking at the ceiling
A sudden chuckle made her confuse
"I think my heart just stopped and started beating again"
Taeyeon turned to Tiffany and looked at her with that cute smile of his that he does
unconsciously sometimes
"You know Fany-ahforever is a long time"

Tiffany got lost in Taeyeon's deep dark eyes that were full of love and somehow a little
bit of bitterness
"I know"
Taeyeon chuckled again
"Smile you idiot"
Tiffany smiled bitterly
"Are you afraid ?" She asked
Taeyeon looked down for a moment deep in thought
"Not anymore. Fany-ah, forever is a long time. but I wouldn't mind spending it by your
side"
And another cute smile
"It's where I want to be"
Tiffany finally fully smiled
"Me tooIt's where I want to be"
They shared deep eye contact for a little before Taeyeon noticed sunlight coming in the
room from the balcony
The next minute Taeyeon and Tiffany were side by side wrapped together in a blanket
and watching the sun rise together
In a balcony in Italy
"By the way Fany-ah"

Tiffany looked at Taeyeon who was leaning on the railing with a hand supporting his
cheek
"I love you too"

Blood
"Seohyunie~ could you re-fill the pot ?" Yoona called
"Give me a minute Oppa~" Seohyun replayed from TaeNy's living room
Yoona and Seohyun were in charge of taking care of the penthouse while Taeyeon and
Tiffany are gone for the week
Their flight is scheduled for this morning so the two should arrive by evening
Certainly Seohyun is mopping the living room floor and Yoona is taking care of the
garden at the huge balcony
"Here you go Oppa" Seohyun put a water filled pot next to Yoona who was removing
some weed that grew out next to the flowers
"Thanks" Yoona smiled at Seohyun who wiped the sweat from his temple with a napkin
"I prepared some snacks Oppa, let's take a break" Yoona nodded at Seohyun
"Right after watering the flowers, you should go ahead and rest" Yoona proceeded to
water the garden with the water pot Seohyun bought him not noticing the pout on
Seohyun's face
"But i want to rest together with Oppa" Yoona who is now looking back at Seohyun with
wide eyes clenched his raging heart and felt dizzy all of a sudden

God damn it Seohyunie!! why are you so adorable !??!!?! A@%^ G@$
"I...I understand..." Yoona looked away from Seohyun to hide his reddened face and
took off his working gloves
"Shall we ?" after he made sure he looks composed he turned around to Seohyun with
the most charming smile he could muster up
Seohyun smiled cutely and got under Yoona's extended arm putting it around her
shoulder than the two walked together to TaeNy's dining table where the
snacks Seohyun prepared are
On the dining table laid a plate of fruits kebabs and what looked like chocolate sauce
next to it
"Ugh I was craving for this, you know me too well Seohyunie" Yoona smiled wide when
he saw the colors in front of him and immediately went for one but his hand was
slapped
"Wash your hands first Oppa, you just took them out of dirt" Seohyun frowned
"Oh right, I forgot" Yoona face palmed and got up to wash his hands and came back
fast
"Thank you Seohyunie" Yoona smiled sweetly at Seohyun and Seohyun returned his
smile with a shy one in return
The two seems to be stuck in the honeymoon stage forever since they started dating till
now, although they haven't went past innocent butterfly kisses yet as they both were
raised with the No sex till marriage rule
"I can't wait for the day we start living together" Yoona looked at the ceiling dreamily and
Seohyun looked at him with a blush on her face

Yoona never really realizes the effect he has on Seohyun

He just speaks of what's in his mind and that's one of the reasons Seohyun fell in love
with him
"Me too Oppa.." Yoona looked at Seohyun with infatuation in his eyes
He fell in love with Seohyun at first sight and he just keeps falling for her harder and
harder every single day
Seohyun is perfect
Or that's just what everybody thought
But Yoona saw past that
Yoona saw who Seohyun really is
Yoona knows when Seohyun is pushing herself
Yoona knows when Seohyun feels angry
Yoona knows when Seohyun feels scared
Yoona knows the weak points Seohyun has that everybody just assumes she's good
at because they only see her from the outside
But Yoona doesn't know everything
Yoona is craving to learn more about Seohyun all the time
He asks himself everyday what good deed he did in his life to get such a girl to be with
him and accept him with all his flaws
Seohyun knows how to bring out the best of Yoona
She also however knows how to bring the worst out of him

And both these things no body but her knows how to

Seohyun knows Yoona's fears and insecurities that everyone assumes that he doesn't
have them because of his background
Seohyun knows what ticks Yoona off and what makes him happy and smile
Seohyun also knows how to make Yoona sad and cry
But all those things are buried deep inside her and are a secret shared between her and
herself to never be used ever forever
Seohyun knows who the real Yoona is
The real Yoona who is always calm on the outside and on the inside
The real Yoona who never trust people and never let them in
The real Yoona who smiles on the outside and is a raging mess on the inside
Seohyun is very thankful to know all these sides of Yoona
Such a difficult person to let people in like Yoona let her in
She's one of the very few people Yoona let in
Yoona made Seohyun feel special
Yoona knows good things and bad things about her
Yoona who doesn't frown when she do or say something unusual for her
Yoona who accepts everything about her
Yoona who she fell head over heels for
Both of them knew..

There will never be someone who can replace the other

There pretty much wasn't any work to be done other than taking care of the garden and
keeping the dust away since TaeNy's place was very OCD which pleased Seohyun and
crept out Yoona
He lived with his Hyung for 13 years and never really noticed how much of a cleaning
freak Taeyeon is which only means one thing
It's not Taeyeon it's Tiffany..
How unexpected
But come to think of it Tiffany always left her place neat and cleaning if not cleaner than
it already was

And that's when Yoona realized something..

He really should ask Tiffany for advise on how to please Seohyun
Since they're cousins ?
He should ask her when they get a chance alone or something, or just meet up in secret
Yeah..
"Seohyunie...come here" Yoona positioned himself in a comfortable, relaxed way on the
soft comfy couch and Seohyun accepted his offer for cuddles with a shy smile
"Your hands are cold" Seohyun flinched at how cold Yoona's hands were but pressed
them on her cheeks nonetheless
"Sorry...are you warming them for me with your cheeks ?" Yoona asked cutely
"Yeah, my cheeks are hot because I'm with you..."
Might as well die..
Seohyun sometimes does things or say things that Yoona gets a mini heart attack from
And it is definitely not healthy even for people with big hearts
"I love you Oppa" Seohyun blushed and kissed Yoona's palm
Unf
Yoona suddenly dropped his whole weight on Seohyun making her fall back on the
couch in surprise
"Oppa ?! are you okay ?" Seohyun patted Yoona's head which is on her shoulder
It was silent for a few seconds but it was soon broken by Yoona's voice

"Seohyun-ah you're killing me" Yoona planted a butterfly kiss on Seohyun's cheeks
Seohyun blushed at what Yoona just said and did
She looked at her side to face Yoona and put his hand on his cheek
An innocent kiss (more like a peck) on the lips froze Yoona in place
This was the first time Seohyun kisses him intentionally
If living together will give him this much opportunity to flirt and kiss Seohyun like this he
pretty much wants to do it right now, moving in together that is
"This is so hard" Yoona grunted buried his face in Seohyun's embrace
"What is hard Oppa ?" Seohyun asked innocently as she started playing with Yoona's
hair
"Secret.."
"What ? Tell me Oppa, now I'm curious"
"No.."
"Oppa~~~"
"...No..."
"Please ?"
"Seohyun-ah I didn't know you could play dirty too !?"

"Hyung!!" Yoona waved to the couple exiting the gate hand in hand
"Hey Yoong" Taeyeon immediately accepted the hug from Yoona and responded with a
light pat on the cheek as their sign of affliction while Tiffany and Seohyun just hugged
very tightly and didn't let go
"I missed you so much Unnie~" Seohyun said
"Hey~ you're saying that like you haven't seen me in months when it's only been a
week, the usual" Tiffany chuckled
"That's different Noona~" Yoona answered for Seohyun and hugged Tiffany politely
"That's right Unnie, you were actually out of Asia not a couple of blocks away" Seohyun
pouted which resulted in having her right cheek pulled lightly by Taeyeon
"Aigoo you're so cute" Yoona and Tiffany stood at the side with a frown and watched
Taeyeon and Seohyun get some of their usual father-daughter time

This was something usual to see

Seohyun saw Taeyeon as a big brother while Taeyeon for some reason saw her as a
daughter
"This will always be weird to me" Yoona whispered to Tiffany
"Me too" Tiffany said back
A few minutes later they were in Yoona's car with Yoona driving back to TaeNy's home,
Taeyeon in the passenger seat and The girls in the back seat because they insisted on
sitting there
"So what did you do this week other than water my garden which by the way thank you
very much" Taeyeon spoke
"Well... not much really, We experienced Netflix & Chill for the first time, a couple of
dates and you're welcome Oppa, anytime" Seohyun responded
"Oh and by the way Hyung, you will not find anything in the cookies jar" Yoona butt in
"Yo ate mah cookees ?" Taeyeon asked in his cute broken English that only comes out
when he gets comfortable
"What cookies Hyung ? you had gummy bears in there" Yoona frowned
"So that where you hid my gummy bears ?!" Taeyeon looked at the back side ways and
glared playfully at Tiffany
"What ? you were getting unhealthy again" Tiffany argued
"Not true, I don't think I can even go off that diet where Yuri is watching me like an owl"
Taeyeon disagreed

"TaeTae I saw sneaking out the bedroom at the middle of the night and I'm pretty sure
that could be the only reason to go out of the room and don't you dare tell me you went
out to drink water because i prepare a glass for you on the nightstand every night"
Tiffany argued back
The car stayed silent for a moment
"Don't tell Yul ?" Taeyeon said with the brightest smile he could muster up which melted
Tiffany from the inside
"You know that will come with conditions right" Tiffany smirked
"Yeah...of course..." Yoona looked sideways at Taeyeon and noticed the traumatized
look on his face as he look down at his lap
Just what did Tiffany make him do ?
"Hyung ? Soo came by two days ago and gave me a container to give to you two and
also one for us, he said it was a souvenir" Yoona said quietly closing the previous
subject that he felt like he really shouldn't get into
"What was it ?" Tiffany asked
"It was some delicious Egyptian cheese" Seohyun said
"I see, everyone is coming over later, will you stay ?" Taeyeon asked
"Of course we'll stay, we already know" Yoona said as if it's all old news even though
Taeyeon and Tiffany themselves didn't know until that morning
As they finally arrived Taeyeon stretched upon entering his home and smell the fresh air
in the living room

"Why is it easier to breath here ?" Taeyeon asked and looked around confused at how
the air is easier to take in
"Oh i left the balcony door open so the oxygen from the garden comes in and it also
smells nice" Yoona said
"As expected" Tiffany chuckled as she walked in the huge balcony AKA Garden and
saw how beautiful the garden became
Yoona was known for his amazing gardening skills, Taeyeon was good too but not as
much as Yoona
After all Yoona's dream was to be a gardener since he was little after seeing how
beautiful the work of the gardeners in their farm is
"We don't have any drinks" Taeyeon frowned at the sight of their empty fridge
"I'll go buy some" Taeyeon didn't even sit down since he came in and he just landed
after a 12 hours air plane
"It's okay Hyung, I'll do it. you rest before the others are here, you must be Jet lagged"
Yoona beat Taeyeon to the car keys
"Nope, I'm going. I'm not really tired, i slept the whole time in the airplane" Taeyeon
snatched the keys from Yoona's hand and walked to the door with Tiffany following him
"Don't buy any snacks, okay ? let's go shopping together some other time" Tiffany
cupped Taeyeon's face when he was done putting his shoes on
"Alrighty then.." Taeyeon smiled and planted a kiss on Tiffany's sweet lips
"You go rest.." Taeyeon smiled gently at Tiffany when he pulled put only to get a cute
nod and a breathtaking eye smile from Tiffany

Yoona and Seohyun watched the two being all cute and loving compared to what they
were like two months go
This was all different
It's like they only fell in love deeper than they even were before any of that happened
Just from that small moment Yoona and Seohyun witnessed they could tell that the aura
between the two is different
The around them is different
The way they talk and look at each other is different
Taeyeon is communicating more, before he just didn't say any of the important stuff just
because Tiffany already knows it
Tiffany is showing how much she cares, before her attitude didn't show that she's in
love with Taeyeon
If an outsider looked at them before he would think Ahh...what a pretty couple
But now if anyone looked at them they would immediately realize that Taeyeon and
Tiffany were a loving married couple that that have been together for not so long which
is the opposite
On Taeyeon's way out he met with Sunny and Sooyoung who were coming in the
apartment building
"Sup Taeng" Sunny smiled and punched Taeyeon's chest lightly
"It's good to see you Hyung" Sooyoung bowed 90 degrees to Taeyeon who he respects
and looks up to very much

"Good to see you too" Taeyeon smiled and frowned when he realized that Sunny is
wearing Sun glasses at night and besides....this is indoors."
Taeyeon opened his mouth about to ask her why but she stopped him with a palm up
"Please Taeng...spare me...don't ask" Sunny grimaced
"Ok...ay ?......you guys want anything from the convenient store ? we just realized that
the fridge is empty" Taeyeon asked the two changing the subject
"Just don't forget to bring my favorites okay ?" Sunny asked nonchalantly while entering
the elevator
"Ah Hyung, bring me a pack of Trident" Sooyoung managed to say before the elevator
door closed
Taeyeon chuckled and decided to walk to the convenient store since it wasn't that far
It's a bit late to be walking alone in the street but he's a grown man, he can take care of
himself
As he walked on the side walk he looked up the night sky and the far moon reminded
him of his wife's eye smile which made him smile
Taeyeon was raised to never abandon his loved once
Be a gentleman and forgive, give second and third chances
And he will never forget what his dad once told him: Everyone has something to live for
Never give up and try again
Taeyeon is glad he has been raised that way
Because all of that helped him even if by tiniest bit bear with the pain

But that experience also taught him something: You must overcome pain just so you
can be even stronger
Taeyeon knows he is very close to achieving his dream
Happiness
He so close, he's glad he never gave up

(Warning: Violence ahead)

"Hey"
Taeyeon stopped his steps and looked around him to find where the voice that
interrupted his thoughts came from
"Over here"

Taeyeon was immediately alerted when he saw the person calling for his attention
It was a tall guy dressed in black with a hoodie on standing behind him
Despite being in the dark, Taeyeon knew that face
He remembers that exact same face that it owner bought chaos into his life
"This is for taking my happiness away from me!!!!"
And before Taeyeon knew it the guy was running in full speed towards him and he could
only get a glimpse of what the shiny weapon the guy was holding in his hand before it
broke through his shirt and to his waist
Taeyeon was in shock as he looked down slowly at his abdomen as the guy pulled back
and stared at him shaking
Just then he realized that the side of his waist is started to get wet with something that
seemed like it was coming out of his own body
Taeyeon didn't feel that much pain and just stood frozen in his place looking at the red
spot on the side of his white V-neck that is starting to get bigger
"You...you came to me to do this ?" Taeyeon asked as he looked up slowly at the guy in
front of him
The cause of all the horrible feelings he and Tiffany went through
Even his face could make a decision of what expression to give this guy
"It's all your fault !! if it wasn't for you Tiffany and I would be happy right!! look at
what you've done!! now she won't even open my texts!! It's all your fault" The guy
screamed at the top of his lung
Taeyeon stayed silent and looked at the guy's face

Taeyeon knew this guy

He's Nichkhun
He's the dude who dared to snatch his wife away from him, flirt, go out with and even
sleep with her
And now he says he was trying to reach Tiffany ?
And she Ignored him ?
Taeyeon's eyes widened
Not in surprise but in anger
When he saw Nichkhun run to him again for another stab with his blood dirtied knife he
unconsciously raised his hand and instead of his face, the knife went through his palm
and came the blade broke into the other side
Taeyeon looked so calm as he looked at the knife stuck in his hand
Nichkhun was about to run away as he achieved his goal in hurting Taeyeon but a pull
on his hoodie as he ran away caused him to fall back on the floor
Nichkhun grunted in pain and leaned up to look at Taeyeon who was looked at the
blade stuck in his hand and pulled it out without a single change in his face
He walked slowly towards the terrified Nichkhun with wide open eyes and a calm
expression
Taeyeon grabbed Nichkhun by the hoodie and forced him to stand up
Nichkhun stood up tall in front of Taeyeon which made him think that Taeyeon was only
acting tough but the punch that was thrown to his face proofed otherwise

Nichkhun let out a painful grunt as he felt the taste of blood in his mouth and on the
ground laid one of his teeth
Taeyeon's had traveled from the hoodie to the neck cause the hoodie to drop
Nichkhun started coughing and trying to bray Taeyeon's tightened hand off his neck but
to no avail
Next thing he knew he was slammed at the wall so hard he wondered if his back broke
or not
A knee to his stomach caused him to cough blood everywhere on Taeyeon's hand that
was still on his neck
Another knee to his stomach and more blood came out
Nichkhun looked up at the sky and realized he had made a horrible mistake
approaching Taeyeon
His vision traveled from the sky to the ground face first and the little cracking sound
coming from his nose upon the impact scared the shit out of him
"Stop !! Stop !!"
Nichkhun got a chance to take deep breaths when he didn't feel Taeyeon near him but
oh how wrong he was
He felt a hand go around his wrist and pull his arm up backwards
A scream of pain was let out from his bloody mouth when he felt Taeyeon twist his arm
and pull on it
Any harder than this and Nichkhun knew he would hear a crack
"STOP STOP PLEASE !!!!!!"

Nichkhun's screaming and pleading went unheard by Taeyeon's ears and he put his
foot between Nichkhun's shoulder and arm and pulled harder until he heard a crack
along with the noise of screaming beneath him
All Taeyeon could see now was red
He wasn't satisfied yet so he grabbed the other hand as well and did the same as he did
to the other arm
Break it mercilessly
Taeyeon backed away from Nichkhun and looked at the grunting mess on the floor
squirming in pain
This wasn't enough
So he walked to him again and grabbed Nichkhun's body and turned it around
He grabbed his long leg, a hand before his foot and Taeyeon's own foot on Nichkhun's
knee
"PEASE PLEASE DON'T !!!!!"
Taeyeon looked at the mess of a guy beneath him
How pathetic
"You don't want me to break it ?"
"NO NO PLEASE DON'T!!!!!!"
"But you didn't seem to have hesitated when you bedded my own wife, and now you
dare to come and face me" Taeyeon said calmly as he pushed Nichkhun's knee down
causing a loud cracking sound to come from it

Nichkhun's ugly scream ticked Taeyeon off

"Does it hurt ?"
"IT HURTS IT HURTS SO BAD !!!"
"Were you happy when Tiffany looked at you in that way ?"
Nichkhun stopped screaming for a moment and just breathed very loudly in fear and
pain
"I was..."
Next thing Nichkhun knew his other leg was in Taeyeon's hands and foot pressed on his
knee
A loud cracking sound caused more screaming to come out of Nichkhun and another
hard push on the wall made him look up
In front of him was Taeyeon with his white t-shirt stained with blood everywhere, wide
eyes were looking calmly at him and a poker face that definitely was not calm on the
inside
When Taeyeon stepped one step closer to him triggered Nichkhun's screams again
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!"
"There is no use, no one walks around here at this time in the night. isn't that why you
chose to attack me here ?"
Taeyeon's Icey voice and calm face screamed danger to Nichkhun
"I will not kill you this time...but next time i see you again near me or anyone important
to me..."

"YOU WONT YOU WONT I PROMISE YOU WONT"

By now Nichkhun actually peed his pants at the sight of Taeyeon getting closer to him
"You know what ?" Taeyeon started as he spoke close to Nichkhun's mortified face
"You're lucky I'm so nice...even I'm surprised that i could be nice to someone like you"
Taeyeon smiled sadistically
Taeyeon stood up again as the smile went down when he realized that Nichkhun lost
conscious
*Chuckle*
Now I feel better
There was a calm smile on Taeyeon's face as he pressed his phone to his ear and
called an ambulance giving them Nichkhun's location
"Who knew you would come to me...You're so luck I'm so nice..."
Cause otherwise I would have hunted you down a long time ago

And killed you

Happiness
"Hello" Taeyeon greeted as he made his way inside a convenient store
"Welc--...oh my god !! Taeyeonie, are you okay !?" The Ahjumma in the cash register
gasped at the sight of Taeyeon
That was a normal reaction to someone who walked in normally but looked far away
from normal
"I'm okay Ahjumma, can I get tissues ?" Taeyeon smiled at the Ahjumma to reassure
her that he's okay
"What happened to you, Taeyeonie ? and where is Fany ?" The Ahjumma
immediately literally ran around the counter grabbing Taeyeon with her and pulled him
to the back room
"Fany is at home..." Taeyeon chuckled as the Ahjumma forced his bloody shirt off and
gasped when she saw that blood was still oozing out of a very long cut that extended
from a little above his hips to the end of his waist, a little before the back not to mention
the bloody nail marks on his wrist and the freaking hole in the middle of his right hand
"Who did this to you Taeyeon-ah ?!" At that moment Taeyeon hesitated
What the hell should he tell her ?

He can't just tell her that the guy his wife had an affair with attacked him and that he
broke a tooth, his nose and 4 of his joints after
"I encountered a robber in the street, but I managed to run away with this"
Taeyeon hoped that the Ahjumma will believe him because he's not a good liar
"Aigoo You're always good at dealing with these things" The Ahjumma remembered
how she first met Taeyeon
A guy with a long beard and a long jacket came in the store and the first thing he did
was lock the shop and say This is a hold up, no body moves
The guy held a gun to the poor Ahjumma as she emptied the register in a bag he threw
at her but the next thing he new was that he was an arm around his neck from behind
and another one around the arm he was holding the gun with
The man was immediately subdued by none-other than Taeyeon
The Ahjumma collapsed right after and was sent to the hospital as she got a heart
attack
it turned out that she needed an urgent surgery and didn't quite have the fund for it but
when she woke up she was told that all her hospital bills were already paid by the guy
who rode the ambulance with her
The Ahjumma immediately knew it was Taeyeon because he was the last face she saw
before losing conscious
She didn't know how to repay Taeyeon for all the things he did even though he was just
a stranger that happened to be shopping in her store at that time

When he came in the store again after she opened it again, she was immediately on the
floor thanking him and asking how could she repay him
All Taeyeon did was smile while looking at the pictures the Ahjumma kept behind the
register and say: Just stay healthy for your grandson
From that day on Taeyeon became one of her favorite people in the world that she even
cried at his wedding
And now he just came in her store late at night drenched in blood
Let's just say chaos was in her store when she realized how serious Taeyeon's wounds
were

One Year Later~

That night gave Taeyeon a headache

After the Ahjumma forced him to ride a taxi with her to the hospital, the next thing
Taeyeon knew that he was sitting on a bed getting his wounds treated
When Tiffany and the rest arrived to the hospital they got the shock of their lives
"You go for an errand for 30 minutes and this happens ?!" Was what Tiffany said
Taeyeon just smiled as he stared at Tiffany's angry/crying face
Thank god the wound across his waist was not that deep but it made Taeyeon lose
conscious because of the blood lose and had to get blood transferred
Yoona stared at the hole in his hand "That's kind of badass" is what he said
"I always knew that he would get attacked one day, he looks so weak" is what Jessica
said
Taeyeon indeed was in so much pain after, the anger clouded his mind so much when
he saw that guy that he couldn't think of anything else
No body really knew what happened between Taeyeon and Nichkhun that night
Everybody believed the robber story and Taeyeon just went along with it
Taeyeon decided he would just forget about that dark spot he has in his heart for that
guy

He realized that he had a side of him he himself is scared of and he didn't want that side
to come out ever again
And the only way for that to happen is if he saw that guy again or if Tiffany decided to
cheat again which isn't likely to happen
About Taeyeon's wounds ?
His excuse was that he was attacked in the street but managed to run away
Thank god the knife managed to only cut a little by the side of his waist and wasn't life
threatening
Though his body is now forever scared but later on he challenged himself and went with
Tiffany to get tattoos to cover up his wounds
Beautiful, elegant patterns covered the wound on his waist and another one on his hand
to his his wrist
After that day Taeyeon was prohibited to walk alone at night if it was past 9 PM
Taeyeon rented their apartment to a new client since he owns the building and their
friend's helped them move a few weeks later to a much friendlier neighborhood that had
trees and flowers everywhere and not much cars
And it was closer to work
it was the perfect place to start a family
A lot had happened since that night Taeyeon found Tiffany and him who-should-not-benamed in their bedroom
it's been a year since that incident with Nichkhun now

Taeyeon & Tiffany's relationship is better than ever, let's just say that what happened
helped in making their relationship only stronger after so much shit
Sooyoung got Sunny pregnant because of the lack of protected sex between the two
and they are expecting a baby girl in five months, not in Sooyoung's wildest dreams
would he have thought that he's going to be a 20 years old father, whether it's Dilf or
Milf both are happier than ever
Yoona's and Seohyun's relationship is still in the honeymoon stage. such an idol
relationship that everyone in collage wants to have one like it
Jessica and Yuri, the free souls who are just doing whatever they want
And finally the good news arrived from Hyoyeon that she finally got a boyfriend, a dude
who's crazy about her named Niko
Also Taeyeon is starting a new project with Yuri soon but this time he decided to go
slow, take his time and live his life
Although silly fights between Taeyeon and Tiffany started happening like
"Why didn't you put my laptop in the charger ?" Taeyeon would say
"You didn't tell me" Tiffany would answer
"But I tell you every night!!" Taeyeon would argue
"But you didn't tell me last night!!" And Tiffany would argue back
Or
"Fany-ah where is my ice Cream ?" Taeyeon would ask when Tiffany comes back from
shopping when it's her turn
"I didn't buy any" Tiffany would answer without looking

"What ?! Why ?" Taeyeon would ask

"Because you just finished a whole cartoon yesterday!!" Tiffany would answer
Or even
"TaeTae why didn't you tell me we ran out of shampoo ?! I got stuck in the shower this
morning" Tiffany would ask
"I forgot.." Taeyeon would smile sheepishly
"You forgot ?! you could have at least replaced it !!"
"I said I forgot !!"
Although all the fights end at the same night with the one at the fault apologizing and
make up
it was new to them but it made them feel normal cause that's how it's supposed to be
Everything is well
Everything is fine
Although it's not perfect
But it was for both of them

*click*
"I'm back *huff*" Tiffany said as she closed the house front door behind her
Today was an unusual day
Tiffany had to go in the company today for some urgent meeting while Taeyeon had the
day off
Taeyeon liked to put all the lights on when he's alone and turn on the TV and washing
machine so he won't feel alone but today was different
Today every single electric machine was off except for the lights in the hallways
"Do I hear music ?" Tiffany frowned upon hearing some sexy music playing from behind
the bathroom door
She put her stuff on the couch in the living room and moved to the bathroom
"TaeTae ? What are you doing ?"
The sight she witnessed when she entered the bathroom almost made her drool

Sexy music is playing in the clean and warm bathroom that smelled like lavender all
around
She could see a little steam coming up from the bubbles filled gorgeous bathtub
A few of their cotton towels were piled up on the side and a few little candles around the
bathtub were the only source of light
Essential oil was also on the side with a plate of fruits and a bottle along with a half
empty glass of champagne in a reachable distant from the tub
What looked like the most comfortable pillow behind Taeyeon's relaxed sexy naked
body that was covered with all the bubbles
And Taeyeon was sleeping
"Oh my god..."
His hair looked like the best thing ever and his body was screaming I just rubbed myself
with oil
Unf
Tiffany immediately took off everything and jumped in the shower to clean herself then
she slowly lowered herself in the tub with Taeyeon and leaned against his chest
Oh this is where she wanted to be the most today
Her hand slid from Taeyeon's shoulder to his chest to his now no longer flat stomach
but fit chocolate abs
"My god I missed this..."
Taeyeon worked hard in the past 8 months with the help of Yuri to get to this shape
again and damn she's happy about it because their sexy time only got sexier

"Hey..." Tiffany looked up when she heard Taeyeon's voice only to be met by his onyx
eyes staring lovingly at her
"Hey..." And Tiffany replayed with a kiss
"You're back..." Taeyeon said when Tiffany pulled away
"I'm back..."
"When did you get back ?"
"Just now"
And the kiss got deeper as Tiffany held Taeyeon's cheek to deepen the kiss while
Taeyeon's hand slid around her waist to get her closer
Tiffany pulled back briefly to look at Taeyeon probably only to have him give her the
sexiest smirk ever and a hand comb through his hair to push it out of his face
"Why are you being all sexy ?"
"Hm ? I wonder..."

Roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes later

The two were cuddling on their big comfy warm bed in their cozy bathrobes
The room was dimly lit by the lamp on the bedside table and a good novel in Taeyeon's
hand as both of them read through it in silence plus the warm teat they took sips of
every now and then
Eventually they got sleepy and cuddled more as they closed the book and got closer
Tiffany suddenly got playful and smiled and
Taeyeon felt a small peck land on his arm and a soft chu~ sound that made his heart
skip a beat
He smiled and responded by kissing her hair
Tiffany looked up at Taeyeon with a cute eye smile
They just smiled and stared at each other lovingly
"I love you so much" Taeyeon confessed and kissed Tiffany's nose
"I love you so much too" Tiffany giggled and kissed Taeyeon's chin
And just like that they fell asleep in each other's arms all clean, warm and relaxed

Tiffany woke up the next morning alone

She didn't wake up when Taeyeon left for work today which upset her a little
But a little note on the bedside table made her smile

You r the reason of my smile. and I hope I'm the reason for yours too
Good morning Sunshine <3

When she entered the kitchen for a glass of water she saw food on a tray in a wrapper
with another note on top of it

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

Eat up sugar cheeks ;3

Tiffany stayed in a good mood the whole day even through doing the house choirs and
the head aching work
it's almost evening when Tiffany finished her work load for the day and it's almost time
for Taeyeon to come back home
She suddenly really really felt like seeing Taeyeon right now
He has been so sweet since last night and she couldn't stop thinking about him so she
picked up her phone and proceeded to write a text to Taeyeon who's working hard right
now
Just wanted you to know that someone is thinking of you!
And sent
She smiled as she placed her phone on the night stand and continued what she was
doing
They were not usually like this
But at sometimes when they don't see each other for a while and they miss each other
things get a little messy and they end up either fighting or get overly clingy
But this time
This happened
A couple of hours later Taeyeon finally texted back
Aww that's so sweet

You just fixed my mood

Thank you Mrs. Kim
You're the best thing that ever happened in my life
Tiffany smiled and swooned over the sweetness
I could stare at that message for days <3
Tiffany walked to the kitchen with her phone in hand and as she was drinking a glass of
water a new text came in
Well when you're done staring at your phone look up so I can kiss you <3
She chuckled and put a hand on her cheek as she felt a blush creep up her face
Only a minute later Tiffany heard the sound of a car engine getting turned off and she
immediately knew it was Taeyeon
"Honey~ I'm home~" Taeyeon came in with a big smile and blurted that in English and
his smile only got bigger when he was hugged tightly by the love of his life
What a bless
"Welcome back *giggle* that felt good to hear"
"I have always wanted to say that haha" Taeyeon started attacking Tiffany's face with
chase kisses and they both laughed in the progress as Taeyeon slowly got them to the
couch in the living room
"Can I try to say something too ?" Tiffany looked up at Taeyeon who relaxed by now
"Oh course! fire away" Taeyeon answered excitedly
"Okay.." Tiffany smirked and cleared her throat before speaking

"Would you like dinner ? a bath ? or maybe...me"

"..."
Taeyeon stayed frozen with a grimace for a few seconds before finally coughing a little
"I think I died a little on the inside"
After having dinner and washing the dished Tiffany found Taeyeon sitting on the couch
with a blanket and a playful look on his face
"What are you trying to get to with that look Mr. Kim" Tiffany asked as she walked closer
to the couch
"I don't know, you tell me" Tiffany was pulled gently by the hand to Taeyeon's lap and
felt the blanket warp around her and they both just settled down like that
A few minute later and Tiffany felt that Taeyeon is going to fall asleep soon because his
eyes were barely open
"I wanna go to bed ? to sleep..." Tiffany asked and stated that she didn't mean anything
by that and Taeyeon immediately shook his head
"I wanna stay with you a bit longer"
"Okay...but don't push yourself" Tiffany caressed Taeyeon's hair softly and Taeyeon
leaned in to the touch
After a few minutes of caressing Taeyeon chuckled
"This is so relaxing I'm gonna fall asleep at this rate"
"Well you do look tired"
"I think I got a headache from work"

"Would you allow me to listen ?"

Taeyeon smiled
"Nothing much actually...we had this deputy from a client company visit today...he was
kind of unprofessional, he didn't put his phone on silent and it kept ringing and he kept
answering it in the middle of the meeting...and it seemed like some of them
were...hookup calls..." Taeyeon frowned at the memory
"Wow...I can't even..." Tiffany's eyes widened
"Exactly...Yuri was there too and he got it harder than me since he's involved in more
details. he looked like a zombie afterwards"
"Haha poor ZombieYul"
"Yeah..." A sad look was on Taeyeon's face
"And I don't know what to do without Sunny, her vacation is starting next week and I
need a temporary replacement as soon as possible"
Tiffany got off Taeyeon's lap and sat a little bit away from him
Taeyeon was about to protest but did not say a word when Tiffany gently pushed him
down so his head is resting on her lap and adjusted the blanket on him
"Sunny...how is she ? last time she had terrible nausea" Tiffany started playing gently
with Taeyeon's fluffy brown hair and looked a bit distant
"She's better now since the nausea stopped, a lot better actually" Taeyeon had a bitter
look on his face when he remembered going over last night to get his laptop that Sunny
accidently switched with her's and while they were talking he realized the sexual tension

between Sunny and Sooyoung. The two has so much sex that it wasn't a surprised
Sunny got pregnant
"Pregnancy seems hard..." Tiffany looked sad for a moment that it made Taeyeon
wonder
They have not discussed the topic of having babies before but Tiffany seemed like she's
curios since the news of Sunny
"Fany-ah...would you like to have a baby with me ?" Tiffany's eyes widened at what
Taeyeon said and Taeyeon immediately realized the weight of his question and blushed
heavily when he saw the teasing smile on Tiffany's face after the question sank in
"I would love to" Tiffany smiled and Taeyeon smiled back but still covered the blush on
his face
"How many kids do you want ?" Taeyeon asked
"I don't know...I have never thought of the number"
"I thought about it before...remember our first night together ?" Taeyeon chuckled
awkwardly remembering that alcohol influenced night which made Tiffany laugh a little
"Yeah..."
"I have always wanted to have a cute baby girl" Taeyeon closed his eyes and imagined
the life with a baby
"That sounds beautiful TaeTae" Tiffany said calmly
They shared a moment of eye contact and little smiles before chuckling and Taeyeon
accepted the kiss Tiffany gave him on the lips

Tiffany's expression turned worried when Taeyeon yawned and sleepy tears wetted his
long eyelashes
"Take a nap Taeyeon-ah...and when you wake up let's talk a little bit more...I miss you"
Taeyeon smiled at how thoughtful Tiffany is being
"Okay..."
Taeyeon stayed silent for a while which made Tiffany think that he already fell asleep
"You know Taeyeon-ah...I'm proud of you for all your little and big accomplishments"
Tiffany whispered and kissed Taeyeon's hair
Taeyeon who wasn't asleep yet stayed silent for a moment before smiling sadly
"Thank you for saying that Fany-ah" Tiffany looked down at Taeyeon who suddenly
spoke
"You make everything seem worthwhile, now I want to do that all over again to have you
do this to me"
"I will do this anytime if you want" Tiffany chuckled
"Really ?"
"Yeah..."
"Then I will take you up on your invitation" Taeyeon smiled and snuggled more on
Tiffany's thighs
A few minutes passed and Taeyeon was about to fell completely asleep
"You know Fany-ah, I have always been scared of what married life could bring, but
now that I am with you, it is even scarier to imagine a life without you"

"Taeyeon-ah..."
Tiffany didn't know what to say
She knew that this something Taeyeon wouldn't have said if this was two years ago
when things weren't as perfect as now
What he did and what she did hurt both of them badly
But without it they wouldn't have moved on from that wicked stage where they started
drifting apart
it scares both of them to think that if they have continued like that they might have gone
too long without missing each other
There might have been other ways to fix things
But what happened happened and that's that
They can't turn back time or change anything and it will always be a painful memory to
remember
But it was a life experience that helped them loved each other more and changed part in
themselves to the better
And that's why both of them secretly pray every night and thank god for triggering
something for them to love each other again
They started to believe that everything bad happens for a reason
Before falling asleep Taeyeon looked up at Tiffany
"I'm so scared..." Tiffany was so surprised when she saw a tear slid down Taeyeon's
eyes

She hadn't seen him cry since...since so long, but she tried to stay calm about it
"What are you scared of Taeyeon-ah" She asked softly and didn't stop caressing
Taeyeon's hair
Taeyeon was finally opening up to her about his fears, that's good
"I'm so scared of the fact that if things have gone differently we might have not been
together right now"
"Taeyeon-ah..." Taeyeon put an arm on his eyes and didn't make any sound
Just imagining that made Tiffany feel scared and somewhat hurt
"Taeyeon-ah...I love you so much that it hurts...even if this body turns to ashes...I will
never leave your side...that's my promise to you"
Taeyeon removed his arm from his eyes and looked up at Tiffany's painful expression
"Really ?"
"Yes.." Tiffany answered without hesitation
Taeyeon let out a breath and relaxed a little but still had his eyes wet with salty hot tears
that were
"Will you still be here when I wake up" Taeyeon asked
"Yes"
"Will you stay with me forever ?"
"Yes, forever and more, will you ?"
Taeyeon finally smiled at that
"Me too forever and more"

Taeyeon closed his eyes anticipating to wake up and look at his favorite person in the
world and hear her voice
What a wonderful emotion he's feeling right now
What is this ?
What, he wonders
Ahh
That's right
This is it
This is happiness
And just like that Taeyeon fell asleep
in the arms of his loved one
So worth it
