Sunny was seated at the garden table and little Taeyeon sat
on the chair beside her.
Taeyeon's feet were dangling off the chair as she watched
her aunt play with Sunny's daughter.
"Taeyeon why don't you join them?" Sunny asked the three
year old.
"I like to sit with you," the little girl replied. She was fairly
eloquent for her age.
"You should play with my little girl, Yuri," Sunny said as she
looked at Yuri. An unconscious smile appeared on her face.
Sunny then took a sip of her coffee.
"Did you stop drinking milkshakes already?" Taeyeon asked
with a curious frown. Her statement took Sunny by surprise.
"I still like earl grey," Taeyeon said with childlike innocence.
Sunny tried hard to hide her surprise but it was not easy.
Little Taeyeon reminded her of her best friend, Taeyeon.
Her eyes then fell to the birthmark that sat along Taeyeon's
wrist. It was identical to the scar her best friend had. That,
was too much of a coincidence, but Sunny was never a
believer of reincarnation or any force beyond her
comprehension.

Then, she was too little to go sailing on her own, but now
that she has grown up, the yacht was her way to escape
from the rest of the world.
Her grandfather wanted to give her a new yacht for her
twenty-first birthday but she declined. She did not fancy any
other yacht, she only fancied this particular one.
It was an inexplicable feeling, but there was this weird sense
of familiarity and comfort when she was on board this yacht.
Taeyeon had just turned twenty one a few months ago, on
the 9th of April.
It was never a truly happy day for her because her mother
had passed away on the same day she was born.
Taeyeon heard a lot about her mother from her aunt, her
father and one of her father's old friend, Uncle Kang-In.
She knew that her mother was once a model and that she
was very beautiful. She had also found out from her father
that the last thing her mother did before losing her life, was
to name her Taeyeon.
Taeyeon had asked her father once or twice on whether
there was any significance behind her name, but her father's
answer was always the same.
He always said that it was just a name that her mother loved
very much and there was nothing more to it.

Youre kidding me are you? She likes you too? Yuri said in
a soft whisper.
Apparently so. Taeyeon picked up her pace.
Kim Taeyeon you sure are on a roll.
Well the only thing Im rolling around here are my eyes.
Seriously. If you dont like the other ones, give this one a
go. Shes beautiful.
Taeyeon happened to trip over Yuris feet at that moment
and she stumbled forward.
You are so going to die Kwon Yuri, Taeyeon said under her
breath as she shot Yuri the killer stare. She knew that her
friend stuck her feet out intentionally.
Taeyeon sunbae are you ok? The first year student started
running towards Taeyeon.
It was too late for Taeyeon to make her escape.
Seriously. Consider what I said. Im sick of people hounding
me because of you too. Yuri gave Taeyeon a cheeky grin
and then disappeared around the corner.

"Does it matter? I'm not dating you for sure." Taeyeon said
as she walked around him and continued on.
Taeyeon was quite amazed that walking down the hallway
with someone else besides Yuri could be so effective.
Along the way, her junior tried making a conversation but
Taeyeon only replied with minimal words. Even though she
did that, she could tell that her junior was happy enough to
be walking beside her.
They finally arrived at the restaurant and Taeyeon saw her
aunt sitting inside the restaurant.
"Ok, bye now." Taeyeon said to her junior coldly.
The moment she turned away, she flashed her aunt a bright
smile. It has been a while since she met her aunt for a meal.
Taeyeon walked over to the table and gave her aunt Soojung a big hug. "I miss you."
"I miss you too," her aunt replied.
"Who's that?" her aunt asked her as she looked at
Taeyeon's junior.
"Nobody. Let's have lunch."
"Shall we ask her to join us?" Soo-jung suggested.
Taeyeon protested immediately.

It wasn't too long before they reached the school. "Ok, bye
now," said Taeyeon as she turned to leave her junior.
It was then that she felt a tug on her wrist.
Taeyeon was about to turn around and shake that hand
away, but before she could even open her mouth to speak,
she felt her junior's lips clamp down on hers.
Her junior then pulled away from the kiss after a while. "I
really like you and I hope that you'll give me a chance too. At
least I now know that you're gay too."
Her junior then ran off before Taeyeon could even react.
Taeyeon was still standing there in shock. She had never
shared a kiss with anyone before. Not on the lips at least.
It took Taeyeon a few seconds to recover from what had just
happened. She then quickly walked away and into the
library.
It was a disaster. Taeyeon was quite sure that half the
school witnessed the kiss.
The entire duration of the class was peaceful, but once the
lecturer ended class, Yuri started her teasing again.
"So did you enjoy the kiss?"
Taeyeon glared at Yuri. "Why don't you try kissing her
yourself?"
Yuri broke into a laugh once more.
After they packed their stuff and stood up, Yuri placed an
arm around her best friend's shoulders. "Ok ok I'm sure you
feel violated, but it's a good way of keeping the others off
your back ain't it?"
"I guess, but I'm definitely staying away from her." Taeyeon
was still feeling quite bitter about the situation. It was after
all her first kiss.
"But seriously, how did it feel? Kissing someone." Yuri was
quite curious since she hasn't kissed anyone yet.
"When are you going to stop talking about that?" Taeyeon
said feeling quite irritated.
"After you tell me how it feels," said Yuri with an extremely
cheeky grin.
Taeyeon sighed before she spoke. She knew there was no
better way to shut Yuri up then to tell her.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
"Her lips were soft. Slightly warm. Very smooth. And if you
really want to know how it feels, you should kiss her
yourself."
"I think she only wants you. Not me."
"Do I sense some disappointment in your voice?" Taeyeon
asked with raised brows.
"What are you talking about!" Yuri started flailing her arms
around and being on the defensive.
Taeyeon laughed. She knew she got her friend.
"Oh my god you punk!" Yuri started chasing Taeyeon down
the hallway. Even though Yuri was slightly taller, Taeyeon
was quite speedy.
She sped on and out the door. Just as she burst through the
door, she saw a girl heading straight towards her. The girl
was looking at a piece of paper as she walked and Taeyeon
was not able to stop in time.
Before she knew it she rammed straight into the girl and the
both of them fell into a heap on the ground.
Taeyeon got up quickly and extended a hand to the girl. "I'm
so sorry, are you ok?"
The girl took Taeyeon's hand and stood up. "I think so," she
said as she dusted herself. She then bent over and picked
up her stuff that was on the ground.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Taeyeon helped her out too. It was then that Taeyeon saw
that the girl's arm was bleeding.
"Oh man i'm so sorry. You're bleeding." Taeyeon gently held
the girl's arm as she said that.
All that time, Yuri was standing in the doorway. She didn't
move an inch.
"Kwon Yuri, come on, let's help her out with her injury."
"Ok," Yuri said, snapping out of her daze.
"Hey Yuri, why don't you sit her down, I'll go and get some
first aid." Taeyeon then ran off upon completion of her
sentence.
By the time she returned, she saw Yuri and the stranger
having quite the conversation.
"Ok I'm back. Here give me your arm," Taeyeon instructed
expertly.
She opened a bottle of water and poured it over the wound
to wash it. The girl tried to stop herself from crying out in
pain, but it was written all over her face.
"Does it hurt? I'm sorry but we have to clean the wound
before it becomes infected." Taeyeon continued dousing the
wound in water before dabbing it with antiseptic very gently.

The both of them were having fun bickering with each other
when Taeyeon noticed Yoona walking down the hallway.
"Holy crap. It's her," Taeyeon said in terror. She was still
traumatised by the kiss.
"I think you need to get your 'girlfriend' to tell our dear friend
to back off," Yuri said trying to stifle a laugh.
"Quit laughing, it's not funny."
It didn't take long before Yoona caught sight of Taeyeon and
Yuri. Her eyes sparkled when she saw them.
"Hi it's such a coincidence," Yoona said as she waved to
them.
Taeyeon couldn't stop staring at Yoona's lips when she
spoke. It was an involuntary reaction.
"Why are you looking at my lips like this, don't tell me you
miss my kiss?" Yoona said teasingly as she moved forward.
Taeyeon stuck out her finger by reflex and placed it on
Yoona's lips to stop her from moving.
Her actions surprised both Yuri and Yoona.
Taeyeon seemed to be losing her composure day by day.
She quickly took her finger away when she realised what
she just did.

She knew it was her soulmate. She just knew. She could
feel it.
Taeyeon held the hand tenderly. She looked up wanting to
see the face of the person whose hands she had in her own,
but the person was looking away.
"Look at me," said Taeyeon gingerly.
The person turned to face her and all of a sudden all she
saw was Yoona's face and her lips heading right for hers.
Their lips met and Taeyeon started struggling.
The table of contents is empty. In the Document Inspector, select paragraph styles
whose text will appear in the table of contents.
It was Yuri.
Taeyeon picked up the phone and gave her best friend a
muffled greeting.
"What are you up to today? Want to go out? I'm meeting the
new girl to go shopping. Come along alright."
Taeyeon spat out the toothpaste in her mouth after she
returned to the toilet.
"You're calling me so early just for this? You're lucky I had a
nightmare and woke up early."
"What did you dream of?" Yuri asked innocently.
"Ahhhh let's not talk about it," Taeyeon said as she recalled
the scene of Yoona with her lips pressed tightly against her
own.
"Don't tell you me you dreamt of Yoona?"
Taeyeon could hear the excitement in Yuri's voice when she
mentioned Yoona. She knew that Yuri really wanted her to
get hitched.
"So what time are you meeting?" Taeyeon asked with every
intention to change the subject.
"Tiffany said to meet at..."
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
"Ok you know what. I'm actually not in the mood. I'm going
on my yacht. You two have fun." Taeyeon ended the call
before Yuri could even protest.
After Taeyeon was done washing up, she went downstairs
and into the dining area. Her grandfather was sitting at the
table, reading the papers.
"My dear, you're up early today."
"Mmhmm," said Taeyeon as she reached for a slice of bread
and buttered it.
"Grandpa can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"When you met grandma, how did you know she was the
one? Did you know immediately?"
Tayeon's grandfather laughed at her question.
"Is my dearest grand daughter bothered by affairs of the
heart?"
Taeyeon shook her head. "No. I'm just curious."
She then leaned back in her seat and took a bite of her
bread. "It's because I don't ever seem to feel for anyone. Am
I weird?"

Taeyeon looked over to Yuri for help but all she received in
return was a helpless shrug.
As their service began, Taeyeon could feel Yoona inching
closer. Taeyeon attempted to move herself further away
from Yoona but she was getting too close to Tiffany.
It later reached a point where Taeyeon just had to move an
inch before she was pressed up against Tiffany, and she
didnt want that.
Taeyeon gave up and ultimately decided to place her left
hand on the bench so that Yoona had no way of closing up
on her.
Taeyeon was concentrating on the sermon when she
suddenly felt a hand on hers. It caused her to jerk. When
she did so, she unintentionally nudged Tiffany.
Tiffany looked over and whispered, Are you ok?
Taeyeon nodded and apologised.
The moment Tiffany turned away, Taeyeon tried to remove
her hand from under Yoonas very subtly.
It wasnt easy since Yoona was anticipating that and kept a
firm grip on her hand.
Taeyeon gave up after a while since she didnt want to
attract any unwanted attention.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
The both of them sat there, hand in hand, for the rest of the
service.
As Fate would have it - Chapter 6
Service was finally over and Taeyeon couldnt wait to get
away from Yoona.
Hey Taeyeon want to hang out? Yuri asked the moment
service was over.
Sure, lets get out of here now, Taeyeon stood up quickly
and went over to her father.
Dad Im gonna just hang with Yuri, you head home yourself
ok?
Sure, Ill see you back home.
Taeyeon turned her back to urge Yuri along, but she saw
three people instead of one.
Taeyeon shot her best friend a what in the world is going
on kind of look, only to be met with a hand around her
shoulder.
Come on I asked Tiffany along and Yoona just kinda tagged
along, I cant help that, Yuri said in a low whisper.
You know what that girl did? She held my hand throughout
service, Taeyeon said in frustration, Whats up with you

Yuri stood there with Tiffany and Yoona as she watched her
best friend leave on a cab.
I apologise, Taeyeon can be a little temperamental at
times, Yuri said to the two girls.
Shes got character, Yoona said dreamily.
And you are cuckoo over her, Yuri said to Yoona.
Anyway since your Taeyeon Sunbae is gone, are you still
coming along to the hotel? Yuri asked Yoona.
I doubt so, I actually have an assignment to complete,
Yoona said sheepishly.
Ok then, hurry off now, well see you around, Tiffany said
as she bid Yoona goodbye.
***
Yuri was in Tiffanys hotel room with her and she was
surprised by the amount of pink items in the room.
You really love pink dont you? Yuri said stating the
obvious.
Yes I do, if you were pink Id love you too, Tiffany said as
she started packing her stuff.
Yuri could feel herself reacting to Tiffanys comment. She
took her phone out quickly, You know what I think I have to
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
call for help. I dont think the both of us can manage moving
your stuff using public transport.
Who are you calling? Tiffany asked as she continued
packing.
Youll see, Yuri said as she placed her phone to her ears.
The moment the person on the other end picked up, Yuri
told her the hotel name and requested for the person to
drive over in half an hour.
Whos that? Your chauffeur? Tiffany asked.
You can say so, Yuri said with a laugh.
***
Taeyeon was standing at Tiffanys hotel room door. She had
been summoned by Yuri to help out with the luggage.
She made sure that Yoona wasnt around before she took
her dads car and offered her services.
Taeyeon buzzed and waited for someone to come to the
door.
Hi, so youre Yuris chauffeur? Tiffany said with a grin as
she opened the door.
Taeyeon grimaced, I really wonder if Im her best friend,
calling me a chauffeur like this.

Yuri was sitting on the fence. Her curiosity was evident, but
her reluctance to act was also clear.
Taeyeon jumped off the bed and marched towards Yuri. She
was absolutely curious and her curiosity always got the
better of her.
If you wont do it, Ill do it. Taeyeon was about to take the
book from Yuris hands when a knock on the door made the
three of them jump.
Girls, its late. Im going to bed now. It was Uncle Kang-In.
Good Night, the girls said in unison.
Ok you know what, I think we shouldnt read it, Yuri said as
she quickly returned the book to the center of the dictionary.
Yes, I agree. Two votes beats one vote, Tiffany said
quickly.
Tsk, if Yoona were here im sure shed be on my side,
Taeyeon said bitterly as the little book slowly disappeared
from view.
Now, is someone missing Yoonas presence? Yuri said in a
cheeky tone.
God no! Taeyeon said a little too loudly.
Shhhh.. Yuri said trying to hush her friend.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Tiffany broke into a laugh once more. It was clear that the
friends were quite amusing.
Ok, but promise we wont hand this over to anyone alright?
Its our little secret, Taeyeon said holding out her hand,
lets shake on it.
Yuri took her hand and so did Tiffany.
***
Taeyeon and Yuri had just left for the car. It was parked
further down the street since there were no lots available
earlier in the day.
Why do you think she hid that book in a dictionary?
Taeyeon asked Yuri for her opinion as the both of them
walked the dimly lit street.
I have no idea, but it was probably something she didnt
want to share with the rest of the world, said Yuri.
Taeyeon didnt know why but she had a strong urge to just
take a peek.
I really think we should take a peek. Its like discovering an
archaeological artifact.
Yuri mused at her best friends analogy. Youll have to get
past Tiffany first.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
It has been left alone ever since, even though Taeyeon was
clearly still very interested to find out the contents of the
book.
She had been thinking about it every once in a while.
Over the weeks, Taeyeon had also gotten closer to Tiffany
and Yoona.
It was creepy how Yoona had managed to inch her way into
Taeyeons life the way she did.
She proved overbearing and utterly irritating at times, but
Taeyeon did admire the strength she had to fight for what
she wanted, no matter how futile.
It was Sunday once again and they were all just done with
church. As they walked out of the chapel, Yoona turned to
Taeyeon and asked her a question. Why is it that after so
many weeks of attending service together, I have never
seen your girlfriend once? Is she not a christian?
Taeyeon nudged Yoona instantly, Hush, my dad is here and
Yuris parents are here too. Dont speak so loudly.
Yoona turned to Tiffany and continued, You know weve
been friends for so long now, I think its about time we met
Taeyeon Sunbaes girlfriend. Its almost as if she isnt really
Taeyeon Sunbaes girlfriend.
Tiffany and Yuri both tried to hide a snigger since they knew
there wasnt a girlfriend to begin with.

She was thankful that her aunt maintained herself really well
and didnt look old at all.
It wasnt long before her aunt appeared.
Taeyeon smiled widely. She ran over and gave her aunt a
big hug. Im counting on you. Its time to pay her back in her
own coin.
Is she the same girl who followed you to our lunch
meeting?
Yes, Taeyeon sighed, You really have got to help me
otherwise I doubt id be able to ever find someone else. She
really sticks to me.
Soo-jung laughed at her niece. Dont worry, Ill definitely
help you, I want you to find your special someone too.
Taeyeon smiled sheepishly, Youll definitely be the first
person Id tell if I find my special someone.
Thats my Taeyeon, Soo-jung said as she took Taeyeons
hands.
What are you doing? Im not a kid anym
Im supposed to be your girlfriend arent I? Soo-jung said
as she interlocked her fingers with Taeyeons.
Oh yes, Taeyeon said grinning widely.

The scene was too much for Yuri to handle so she excused
herself to the toilet. If she didnt, she would probably have
burst out laughing at the table.
Taeyeons motivation was to exact revenge on Yoona. It was
for all the times that she forced herself upon Taeyeon.
By the time Yuri returned, they were all almost done with
lunch.
After they got the bill, the five of them stepped out of the
restaurant and stood at the entrance.
So where are we heading now? Yuri asked everyone.
I dont know where youre heading, but Taeyeon is heading
home with me so that we can spend some quality time
together, Soo-jung said as she placed her arms around
Taeyeon.
Oh yes please go home, the both of you are so mushy that
I am almost dying, Yuri said with absolute honesty.
Taeyeon and Soo-jung both got what she meant.
I think Im going home, Im not feeling too well, Tiffany said
without looking at anyone.
Shall I see you home? Yuri offered instantly.
No, its ok, you should hang out with Yoona, Tiffany replied.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Yes she is. She needed a place and well Uncle Kang-In has
a room.
Soo-jung nodded and then drove towards the bus stop.
When they arrived, Taeyeon saw Tiffany standing by the
road. She looked fairly herself once again.
Taeyeon poked her head out of the window and motioned
for Tiffany to get into the car.
Tiffany walked over briskly and got into the car.
Well Tiffany, meet my aunt.
I really thought that the both of you were...
Soo-jung laughed, Taeyeon we should really pursue a
career in acting shouldnt we?
So do you think Yoona bought it? Taeyeon asked Tiffany
excitedly.
Most definitely, but that was really mean, Tiffany said with
her arms folded.
Mean? Like how? Taeyeon asked.
Mean like heartbreaking mean. Do you know how upsetting
it was?

I dont know. It just felt like I had to come back, and Im glad
I did.
***
Tiffany and Taeyeon were both sitting on Tiffanys bed,
talking.
The lovely Haelmeoni had asked both Soo-jung and
Taeyeon to stay for dinner.
It was quite a while to dinner time so the both of them
decided to hangout in the room as Soo-jung accompanied
the old lady.
So you know I havent asked you before but how did you
and Yuri become friends?
Our parents were friends. Yuri and I were the only kids so
we kind of grew up together.
That is so cool, no wonder the both of you are so close.
Come to think of it, I havent seen your mum before, Tiffany
said, unaware that Taeyeon too had not seen her mother.
She passed away after giving birth to me.
Taeyeon rarely talked about it with anyone else, but she felt
comfortable enough with Tiffany to tell her. Yuri was the only
friend who knew.
Im sorry, said Tiffany apologetically.

There was a time where she never felt the need to say
anything like that to anyone.
This was her first time.
***
It was dinner time and Taeyeon and Tiffany were seated
beside each other.
All my favorite food again! Taeyeon said in glee.
You better wash all the dishes after dinner then, since
Halmeoni always cooks your favorite food, said Tiffany to
Taeyeon.
Soo-jung nodded too, I second that.
The five of them ended up having an enjoyable family
dinner, even though they werent all really family except for
Soo-jung and Taeyeon. At least not in this life.
Technically, the Halmeoni could have been Soo-jungs
stepmom, but she of course didnt know what Soo-jung
knew.
Taeyeon who was the reincarnated Taeyeon was actually
once the daughter of the Halmeoni, and the half sister of
Soo-jung, but Taeyeon of course knew nothing as well.
It was quite the complicated relationship if they were to take
into account Taeyeons previous life.
Taeyeon who was once Kang-Ins crush was sitting at the
table with Tiffany, her new found love.

It didn't take them too long to get a taxi and get down to
where Yuri and Yoona were.
"OH MY GOD! You're finally here!" Yuri cried out loud as she
saw Taeyeon walk in.
Her instant reaction was to drag Yoona over to Taeyeon.
Yoona's face was red and Taeyeon could smell the strong
smell of alcohol on her.
"Why didn't you stop her," Taeyeon reprimanded Yuri.
"Who is the one who's breaking her heart. And you blame
me for not stopping her? I've been forced to sit here with her
the entire day!" Yuri said slightly pissed at her friend.
"Taeyeon Sunbae, you're here!" Yoona said in a woozy and
happy manner. She placed her arms around Taeyeon's neck
and pulled her close.
"Ok Yoona, It's time to go home," Taeyeon said as she
swayed back and forth under Yoona's weight.
Tiffany quickly lent Taeyeon a hand and they walked
towards the side of the road. Yuri was following behind
them.
"So where should we bring her?" Tiffany asked Taeyeon.
"I don't know," Taeyeon said as she shook her head.

Tiffany came out of the room at that moment, "What are the
both of you up to?"
"Oh, nothing," Taeyeon lied.
"The both of you are together?" Yuri questioned. She was
still standing in the same position.
Tiffany looked at Taeyeon. She was surprised that Taeyeon
had been so quick to tell Yuri.
"Yes we are, but I'm upset at her already," Tiffany replied.
Yuri turned and grabbed Taeyeon by the collar, Ive been
clearing your shit the entire day, and ive been clearing it the
entire time Ive been your friend, and now you want me to
stay because Tiffany is mad at you?
Yuri was furious. Its your first day together and there you
go making her upset already. Im not staying and dont you
dare hurt Tiffany anymore now that youre with her! Clear up
your own shit! Im leaving!
Yuri stomped off and let herself out of the house.
Tiffany and Taeyeon were both shocked at her reaction.
What just happened? Will Yuri be ok? Tiffany asked the
equally confused Taeyeon.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
"I think she might just be tired of all the crap that she has to
put up with," Taeyeon replied.
Taeyeon knew that Yuri had been a very good friend to her
all her life, and she knew that she wasnt the easiest person
to be friends with, but the outburst was unlike Yuri.
Yuri had always been a patient friend.
There was a nagging feeling that there was more to her
reaction.
Taeyeon tried to think of all the possible reasons.
Then, it hit her. Could her best friend be attracted to Tiffany?
Was that the real reason for the outburst?

You sure seem obsessed with it, Tiffany said as she dried
her hair.
mmm... Taeyeon nodded without taking her eyes away
from the book.
Fifteen minutes later, Taeyeon was still very focused on the
book, and Tiffany was just sitting on the edge of the bed
watching her.
Do you want to go to bed? Tiffany asked her.
Ill join you later, you should sleep first if youre tired,
Taeyeon said once again without taking her eyes off the
page of the book.
Ok, Good night, Tiffany said as she positioned herself in
the center of the bed so that she would be between Yoona
and Taeyeon after Taeyeon joined them in bed.
Before she shut her eyes, she glanced at Taeyeon hoping
that she would pay her some attention, but she was not
given any.
Taeyeon was absorbed in her reading. She was like a child
that had just found her new favorite toy.

You know if you dont have a girlfriend, just say you dont,
said Yoona.
No, I do have a girlfriend, Taeyeon confessed.
Youre not going to tell me that your girlfriend has the same
name as your aunt are you?
In fact, I have to admit that my girlfriend doesnt have the
same name as my aunt, her name is Taeyeon stopped
short of completing the sentence. She got interrupted by
Tiffany.
Yoona ah.
Yes Tiffany Unnie? Yoona asked with a curious gaze.
You know that I really really really like you and that you are
one of my close friends after I returned.
Yes and you are telling me this because...OMO, Yoona
exclaimed as the truth hit her, YOU are Taeyeon Sunbaes
girlfriend?
Taeyeon nodded.
Both Tiffany and Taeyeon watched Yoona with bated breath.
They had already had a nasty experience the night before
with Yuri and they were hoping not to get blasted by Yoona
too.

All Yoona did was turn her back on them and went back to
washing the dishes.
Taeyeon and Tiffany exchanged a look of disappointment. It
seemed like the two people close to them were not
accepting their new status.
After Yoona finished, she got her stuff and then went to the
Halmeoni, thanking her for breakfast. She then said
goodbye and left the house without saying much to the two
girls.
***
Taeyeon and Tiffany were alone in the room.
Taeyeon was once again engrossed in the book she found
the night before and Tiffany was laying in bed and staring at
the ceiling.
How can you have the mood to read at a time like this?
Dont you think that the both of us are in a crisis?
Crisis? Taeyeon questioned, not getting the point.
Yuri and Yoona, Tiffany said directly.
Oh. Give them some time? I think theyll be ok after that.
Do you really see things that simply? Tiffany said slightly
exasperated at her girlfriends insensitivity.

Within the two days, there was so much that happened, that
all Taeyeon wanted to do was distract herself. It was all too
overwhelming for her.
The book was the perfect distraction.
***
It was already evening and Taeyeon was just done reading
the book. She kept it in her bag.
It was almost as if the book was planted in the bookshelf
intentionally, for the sole purpose of conveying a message
to her at this very time.
It made Taeyeon think. The whole idea behind the concept
of Destiny and Fate was very deep. A million things had to
happen for that one thing to happen or exist.
It made her wonder why God made man with freewill. Did
her choices impact her Fate? Or was her Fate already
written in the stars like in a playbook, and all she had to do
was to act it out.
Taeyeon sat deep in thought for a long moment.
She finally decided that freewill was given for a reason.
People had a choice in certain matters. They can choose
their actions, they can choose to react in any manner, but
their choices impacted the future.

Yuri had just returned to her room after helping her mother
with the dishes. Taeyeon followed suit.
What are you doing here? Yuri asked coldly the moment
the door was shut.
I came to apologise.
Apologise? Yuri turned around curiously. It was rare that
Taeyeon apologised for anything at all.
Yes, Im here to apologise. Im sorry if I had been a selfish
friend. Please forgive me, its just that you have always
been there for me. I appreciate you, I really do. If you are
unhappy that Im with Tiffany now, Ill
Tiffany is your girlfriend. If shes happy with you, and thats
what she really wants, Ill respect that. Just dont ever break
her heart, or youll break mine too. Im your friend, Ill always
be your friend.
With that, both friends came to a mutual understanding.
Taeyeon knew that Yuri did in fact harbour feelings for
Tiffany, but she was being the bigger person. Yuri just
wanted Tiffany to be happy, and if Taeyeon was what Tiffany
wanted, why should Yuri interfere.
So, did you come just to apologise? Yuri started warming
up to Taeyeon again.

After the check-in, the four of them went to a fast food joint.
They had about an hour more before Tiffany had to leave.
Taeyeon was never into publicly displaying her affection for
Tiffany, but today, she rarely took her hands off Tiffanys.
Dont you think Taeyeon Sunbae is exceptionally
affectionate today, Yoona teased.
Everyone laughed except for Taeyeon.
Well, Im going to miss her too, Tiffany said as she turned
to look at Taeyeon with sad puppy eyes.
Two weeks will be over in a jiffy, Taeyeon said as she
attempted to act like it was nothing, but the look in her eyes
betrayed her. It was clear that she was having a hard time
herself.
Yuri laughed at the sight before her eyes, Tiffany you have
changed her. Im happy you did.
Why thank you Yuri, Tiffany said jokingly as she squeezed
Taeyeons hands tightly.
Taeyeon just wrinkled her nose at the both of them.
Im glad the both of you happened too, Yoona said as the
watched the couple and their interactions, Otherwise I
would never have known that she has such a soft and
mushy side to her, I prefer the cool Taeyeon Sunbae.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Im glad you feel that way, now I can leave her behind and
feel more assured now, Tiffany joked.
Dont worry! Shes not as attractive as before! Even if you
gave me a hundred bucks to date her, I wouldnt! Yoona
continued.
Taeyeon grinned at Yoona, Alas! I finally feel safe around
you, she returned the tease.
Before they knew it, time went past so quickly that Tiffany
had to leave already.
Yuri and Yoona said goodbye to Tiffany and gave her a hug.
It was Taeyeons turn to say goodbye and Yuri suddenly
gave the excuse that she wanted to get something from a
shop further down the terminal.
Perhaps it was because she wanted to give the couple
some privacy, or perhaps she wanted to refrain from
causing her tender heart further heartache.
It could have been both.
Taeyeon gave Tiffany a long and tight hug. She was already
used to having Tiffany around her for the past one month
and it felt weird to know that she would be waking up for two
weeks without her.
Their relationship had developed and strengthened over the
past month and for the first time, Taeyeon was experiencing
the sorrow of having to part.

It was tedious for her to turn the car around since the street
was so narrow and her car wasnt the smallest. Even an old
lady took a shorter time to walk down the slope.
After much effort, Taeyeon had finally turned the car around.
She made her way down the slope only to realise that the
old lady who had passed her earlier was passed out on the
ground.
Taeyeon quickly pulled to a stop and got out of her car.
She crouched over the old lady and called out repeatedly to
her. There was no answer.
Taeyeon quickly lifted the old lady with much difficulty and
laid her in the back seat. She then hurriedly drove off.
Taeyeon was very focused as she drove and she had only
one thing in mind, and that was to get the old lady safely to
the nearest hospital.
Thankfully, the roads were not congested with traffic and so
Taeyeon managed to arrive at the hospital under twenty
minutes.
Taeyeon alighted quickly and called for the staff at the
hospital to help her out with the old lady at the back of her
car.
The hospital nurses found the old ladys purse and her
identification. It wasnt long before they pulled out her details
and called her home to look for her next of kin.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Taeyeon suspected that it may have been the old lady she
brought in, so she kept her phone away and approached the
counter.
It may be the patient that I brought in, can you pull out her
name? Taeyeon asked the nurse as she propped herself up
against the counter beside the girl.
It was then that the nurse picked up the file along with a
copy of the identification card, Is this your grandmother?
The girl nodded furiously, Yes yes! Shes my grandmother!
How can anyone not know their grandmothers name,
Taeyeon thought to herself in great amusement.
She then turned so that she could catch a glimpse of the
girl.
The girl turned at the same time, and their eyes met.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
I know, I was impatient for your return too. You dont know
how badly I wanted you here instead of in America,
Taeyeon admitted, still caught in the hug.
After a few seconds, they pulled apart and Taeyeon helped
Tiffany with her bags.
So how was the trip? Did you have fun? Taeyeon asked.
Yes I did, but I wish you could have been there with us, it
would have been so much more fun!
Soon enough, that time will come wouldnt it? Taeyeon
responded.
Uh huh! But before that, I have some exciting news to
share! My best friend is intending to return to Korea too!
Tiffany said excitedly.
Oh? You mean for a holiday? Taeyeon clarified.
Nope, my best friend intends to stay here long term,
Tiffany said with a wide grin.
Well, thats wonderful. At least you have a close friend to
talk to if anything, said Taeyeon.
I dont need anyone else if I have you, Tiffany said with a
shy smile, but of course, my best friend is a bonus.
When is your best friend intending to move over? Taeyeon
questioned.

the open air lots by the apartment and made her way up to
her aunts place.
Instead of knocking on the door of the apartment, Taeyeon
took out her own set of keys and unlocked the door.
She missed the place. It had been a while since she
dropped by.
She could hear Tiffany having fun and joking around with
her best friend in the bedroom.
Taeyeon smiled to herself as she thought, Shes always so
loud and bubbly.
Taeyeon knocked on the bedroom door to announce her
arrival.
Taetae is that you?! Tiffany shouted excitedly. It was
obvious that she couldnt wait to introduce her best friend to
Taeyeon and vice versa.
Taeyeon smiled again. Tiffany was quite excitable and it was
quite amusing at times.
The door opened and Tiffany gave Taeyeon a big hug before
dragging her into the room.
The both of you finally meet! Tiffany said eagerly.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Dont listen to Tiffany. I would invite you, its just that the
Yacht isnt doing so great now. We can go after I get
everything back in order, Taeyeon said, negating whatever
Tiffany said.
Cool! Taeyeon youre the best, Taecyeon said as he gave
Taeyeon a friendly nudge to the shoulders.
Tiffanys friend is my friend, Taeyeon said just before she
drove off.
Thats my Taetae, Tiffany said with a smile.
***
It was dinner time and the restaurant was quite packed. The
four of them had no choice but to sit at a dinky table at a
tight corner.
Taecyeon was quite big so he literally took up more than
two-thirds of the table.
Poor Jessie, having to squeeze beside you like that,
Tiffany said as she shook her head.
Its ok, she likes being this close to me, Taecyeon said with
pride and wrapped his arms around Jessica.
Oh please, Tiffany said as she rolled her eyes, here we go
again. How can you stand his behavior? Hes so full of
himself at times.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
After the waiter left, the table was silent for a while until
Tiffany spoke up. So Jessie I heard from Taecyeon that
your grandmother isnt feeling so well thats why you
decided to move back to Korea?
Yes, shes old now so I thought that I should come back
and take care of her.
Is she better now? I heard she was hospitalized? Tiffany
continued.
Oh yes shes fine now, thanks for asking, said Jessica.
Should we pay her a visit later? Tiffany asked.
No, Taeyeon said immediately.
Omo Kim Taeyeon, I wasnt asking you, Tiffany said feeling
appalled at her girlfriends inappropriate response.
Its ok, my grandmother is probably tired. Its best not to
visit, Jessica quickly added on.
Woah! Kim Taeyeon? Taecyeon suddenly cried out, Your
name is Kim Taeyeon?
The three girls turned to look at him, wondering what in the
world was the cause of his random outburst.
Yes? My name is Kim Taeyeon? Taeyeon said as she
looked at Taecyeon with a doubtful look.

***
They four of them were in the car and headed for different
destinations.
Who should drop off first? Tiffany asked Taeyeon.
It should be Taecyeon first and then you and
Oh ya, Jessica where do you live? Tiffany asked just
before Taeyeon completed her sentence.
Jessica revealed the address and Tiffany then asked if they
should still be dropped off in the same order.
Taeyeon nodded.
Anyway why dont you just come over to my place tonight?
Its a really long drive so if we omit your place, we can save
some time, Taeyeon suggested.
Ok, I was just waiting for the offer, Tiffany said cheekily.
Silly, Taeyeon said as she drove the car out of the parking
lot.
The rest of the journey was fairly quiet as compared to the
ride earlier.

Dont worry I wont ask her up front, Ill just mention it when
I have the chance, Tiffany said as she read Taeyeons
mind. She knew that Taeyeon didnt want the Halmeoni to
have to talk about her dead child.
Didnt we find Taeyeons book? If its a diary dont you think
we can find a clue? said Taeyeon.
So you rather pry into a dead persons book than ask her
mother about it? Tiffanys words sent shivers done
Taeyeons spine. She got reminded of Taeyeons ghost.
Whatever it is, dont hurt the Halmeoni by bringing up the
memories of her child, Taeyeon made her point clear with
her firm tone of voice.
Ok, Tiffany said as placed a hand on Taeyeons thighs
lovingly, I wont do it.
The rest of the journey following that was filled with
mindless talk between Jessica and Tiffany. They were
speaking in english, which automatically excluded Taeyeon
from the conversation, not that Taeyeon actually minded.
Taeyeon was actually glad that she didnt have to participate
in the conversation. All Taeyeon wanted to do was to get
Jessica home quickly so that she wouldnt have to see her
anymore.
Taeyeon picked up speed as she stepped on the
accelerator.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Omo why are you speeding? Tiffany asked as she felt the
car speed up.
I cant wait to drop Jessica off so that I can get home,
Taeyeon said making known that she didnt want Jessica in
the car.
That makes two of us, Jessica added on spitefully.
Tiffany could sense the animosity between the both of them,
so much so that It frustrated her.
In Tiffanys mind, the four of them were supposed to have
great fun together and become new best friends.
She never expected her girlfriend and her best friends
girlfriend to actually start out on such bad terms.
At the speed Taeyeon was traveling, it didnt take long
before they arrived at Jessicas place. Taeyeon pulled to a
stop at the bottom of the slope.
Here, you can walk up yourself.
Tiffany turned to Jessica after she saw the dark and steep
slope, Is this your place?
Somewhat, its further up the slope, around the corner,
Jessica responded.
Taetae why arent you driving her up? Tiffany questioned.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Its a dead end and itll be tough to turn back out, said
Taeyeon. She knew since she had been here before on a
different occasion.
Its ok, Ill just walk by myself, Jessica said to Tiffany, Ive
been sitting in this car for too long, its suffocating.
Jessica tugged on the handle only to realise that the door
was locked. At least unlock the door if you were intending
for me to walk up alone, Jessica said snarkily.
Oh, most definitely, Taeyeon replied sarcastically and
unlocked the door.
Bye Tiffany, Jessica said as she alighted from the car.
The moment Jessica shut the door, Tiffany said in a low and
threatening voice, If you dont get out of the car right now
and make sure that my best friends girlfriend gets home
safely, I will personally skin you alive when we get back to
your place.
Taeyeon stared at Tiffany in disbelief, her mouth agape.
Now! Tiffany yelled suddenly, unleashing all her
dissatisfaction with that one word.
Taeyeon scrambled out of the car quickly and shut the door
behind her. She had never seen Tiffany this mad before.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Dont worry, its ok, its ok, Taeyeon said as she tried to
calm Jessica down.
Its just a dog, Taeyeon said as she stroked the back of
Jessicas head.
Its ok, Taeyeon said in the gentlest and calmest voice she
could manage, but the slight tremble in her voice could be
heard.
A brief moment later, they disengaged from the hug. The air
was filled with an awkward silence, except for the sound of
the dogs heavy breathing as it trotted along.
The both of them started making their way towards
Jessicas house without saying another word.
When they arrived at the foot of the house, Jessica took her
keys and let herself into the house.
Taeyeon just stood there and watched her enter. They made
no eye contact. There were no words spoken.
Once Jessica disappeared from view, Taeyeon started
making her way down the slope again.
Taeyeon arrived at the car shortly and she had to rap on the
window to get Tiffanys attention. The car doors were locked
and Tiffany was on the phone.

Taeyeon was laying in bed as she waited for Tiffany to come
out from the shower.
Taeyeon was just spacing out, with her eyes fixated on a
particular spot in the ceiling.
A sudden cool sensation on her left cheek startled her.
Tiffany was blowing at her cheek.
What are you thinking about? Tiffany asked as she slipped
into bed with Taeyeon.
Nothing. I was just waiting for you.
Tiffany slid her arms around Taeyeon and cuddled up to her.
Fany ah.
Yes?
Can you kiss me?
Tiffany propped herself up and kissed Taeyeon on the
cheeks.
Can you kiss me on the lips?
Tiffany did as she was asked. She placed her lips on
Taeyeons lips.

going to Church! You can bring Tiffany along with her best
friend!
Taeyeon crawled back into bed and hid under the covers.
She could feel Tiffany nudging her gently. Taetae, Taetae,
are you mad at me?
Taeyeon ignored her.
Taetae... Tiffany whined.
Taeyeon stood her ground and stuck to her silent protest.
There was then a knock to the door once again, Taeyeon
ah, youre not feeling well? Do you need me to bring you to
the doctor?
Taeyeon poked her head out so that her father could hear
her. Its ok dad, I just need to stay in bed. Oh and Tiffany
will be introducing her best friend to you. He needs your
expertise as a PI. Tiffany will be out soon so she can tell you
more.
Ok, rest up then, Jonghyun said to his daughter through
the door, Tiffany Ill wait for you in the living room.
Ok! Tiffany responded.
After her father left, Taeyeon continued ignoring Tiffany. She
then went back to hiding under the blanket.

Come on sit down, her Aunt said as she laid a plate for
Taeyeon right beside Jessica.
Taeyeon sat down beside the very reason she wasnt in
Church.
Unbelievable, Taeyeon thought to herself.
So wheres Taecyeon? Soo-Jung asked Jessica.
Oh, hes at Church with Tiffany.
Come on both of you, help yourself to the toast, Soo-Jung
said as she pushed the plate towards the two girls.
In that same moment, both girls reached out for the toast at
the same time. Jessicas left hand hovered over Taeyeons
right arm and the both of them paused for a few seconds.
Taeyeon quickly retracted her arm, allowing Jessica to help
herself to the piece of bread that sat at the top of the pile.
Taeyeon then helped herself to the bread and started
buttering it.
The table was silent for a moment. Even her Aunt wasnt
talking, which was odd.
Taeyeon looked at her Aunt, only to see her Aunt looking all
distracted.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Here you can have this, Taeyeon said as she handed her
Aunt the piece of bread that she buttered.
Thanks, Her Aunt said as she took the bread.
Jessica, how old are you? Her Aunt asked out of the blue.
Im twenty-one, Jessica replied.
I see...so youre the same age as Taeyeon.
I suppose, Jessica said as she took a bite of her toast.
Taeyeon followed her Aunts line of sight and noticed that
her Aunt kept looking at Jessicas left hand.
Taeyeon looked closely only to see a faint mark on the back
of her hand. It was so faint that she had never noticed it
before.

She then dug around her bag for some tissue and handed it
to Jessica.
Thank you, sorry for the trouble, the old lady said to
Taeyeon.
Its no trouble at all, Taeyeon quickly said.
Do you need to leave? I should be fine now, Jessica said
to Taeyeon.
Its fine, I was driving around aimlessly before I saw your
Grandmother. Ill just stay with you since youre not familiar
with Korea and all.
Are you sure? Jessica asked doubtfully.
Yes I am, Taeyeon said with a warm smile.
They ended up staying in the hospital until they were being
chased out by the nurse.
Before Jessica left, she promised her Grandmother that she
would be back first thing the next morning.
The moment they left the hospital, Taeyeon offered to give
Jessica a ride home.
While they were in the car, Taeyeon saw that Jessica had a
worried frown on her forehead. That hasnt changed since
they left the hospital.

Taeyeon ah, its been a while since Ive seen you, the old
lady said when she saw Taeyeon.
Ive just been slightly busy recently, Taeyeon explained,
well but here I am again.
Taeyeons my biggest customer, the old lady said to
Jessica, without her, I think id have to close down.
Taeyeon laughed, Oh you give me too much credit, your
Hotteoks are different from the ones at the famous stall.
Whats the difference? Jessica asked curiously.
The ones here come with a little dash of love, Taeyeon
said with a grin, and love makes everything so much
sweeter, dont you think?
The old lady then handed them each one Hotteok after a
while.
Go on, take a bite. Becareful though, its hot, said
Taeyeon.
Taeyeon watched as Jessica blew at the Hotteok before
taking a bite.
Mmmm, its really good, Jessica said right after she
swallowed.

They got all the bags of stuff that they had bought and
started strolling up the slope.
The night sky is so beautiful isnt it? Jessica said as she
watched the stars twinkle in the night sky.
Absolutely. Its even more beautiful out at sea, Taeyeon
said as she reminisced the nights she had out at sea on her
Yacht.
You spent the night out at sea before? Jessica asked
slightly surprised.
Yes, and very often at that.
How is that so?
I actually have a Yacht. My Grandpa gave it to me.
Wow, you sure are fortunate.
I am, Taeyeon said with a smile.
When they arrived at the house, Taeyeon set everything
down by the door as instructed by Jessica.
Thanks for spending the day with me, Jessica said
appreciatively.

The fun mood from earlier was slowly becoming more and
more solemn. Taeyeon really wanted to see Jessica again,
but she didnt know how to ask.
I had a good time too, Taeyeon admitted. She was smiling
as she said that, but there was a hint of sadness in her
voice.
She was not ready for goodbye yet.
Me too, Jessica said as she reached over for a quick but
tight hug, Thank you for everything.
Its really nothing, Taeyeon said as she gave a coy smile.
Alright, you should go in now, its late and you have to visit
your Grandmother tomorrow, Taeyeon said as she
motioned Jessica into the house.
Jessica stepped into the house and turned to look at
Taeyeon as she wished her Good night.
Good Night, Taeyeon said as she stood at the same spot.
Go on, Ill shut the door after you leave. Jessica motioned
for Taeyeon to leave.
Ok. Ill be leaving now, Taeyeon said as she turned around
slowly.
Drive safe, Jessica called out to Taeyeon.

grabbed her set of keys and her wallet before she headed
downstairs.
She grabbed the packet of herbs and headed right out the
door.
She then took a taxi down to the hospital that Jessicas
Grandma was currently admitted to.
It didnt take long before she arrived. Before Taeyeon
headed up to the ward, she decided to buy Jessicas
Grandmother some fruits since it was only polite.
After she got the fruits from a shop a slight distance from the
hospital, Taeyeon made her way to Jessicas Grandmothers
ward with both her hands full.
When she arrived, she could hear Jessicas voice coming
from the room. Taeyeon knocked before she entered.
Oh, who can that be? Is that the doctor? Taeyeon heard
Jessica ask.
Its the miracle Hotteok healer, Taeyeon joked as she
stepped through the door.
Oh! What are you doing here? Jessica was extremely
surprised to see Taeyeon standing at the door. Her
expression said it all.

Jessica, her body tilted slightly so that the both of them were
facing each other.
I think engaging my chauffeur services is fairly reasonable
dont you think? Ten Hotteoks and you dont have to endure
this, Taeyeon said and used her eyes to express how
packed it was, I cant even move my arm.
Jessica laughed. You are quite humorous for a chauffeur. It
seems like youre really desperate for the ten Hotteoks.
Yeah, you dont know what Hotteoks do to me.
I think I do, Jessica said as she looked at Taeyeon.
Probably the same thing Bulgogi does to The bus
braked at that moment and the momentum pushed Jessica
forward.
It was then that Taeyeon felt a warm feeling on her cheeks
and Jessicas arms on hers.
She wasnt worried about falling that was the least of her
worries.
Jessica had just inadvertently landed a kiss on her cheeks
and what she was feeling was different than usual.
She hated it when Yoona kissed her. It was the exact
opposite with Jessica.

I cant tell you what to do. You cant let anyone tell you what
to do. You have to do what you want to do. You have to
listen to your heart. Only you know who you want to be with.
Only you know how you feel.
Taeyeon stared at the ground. She was still as confused as
before.
I dont want to hurt Tiffany. I dont want to hurt anyone, but
Im hurting, Taeyeon was almost in tears when she said
that.
I wont tell you what to do. Its not right for me to tell you
what to do. If she loves you, shell know too. Its up to the
both of you. I cant interfere, but all I can say is follow your
heart. Just follow your heart, Soo-Jung said as she lifted
Taeyeons chin and looked into her eye, Your heart knows
best. Deep inside, you know best.
***
Taecyeon was sitting in the living room, together with Yoona
and Yuri. Jonghyun had excused himself to get his laptop
and Tiffany had gone up to Taeyeons room.
So what is it that Uncle Jonghyun wants to show you?
Yoona asked Taecyeon inquisitively.
I dont know. I was just looking for a person named Kim
Taeyeon. She saved my life when I was little. I told him
about it and here I am.

Taeyeon, Tiffany called after her, Are you ok? Where did
you go?
Taeyeon turned to look at her girlfriend, Im ok. I went out
for some food.
You didnt wait for me to have lunch? Tiffany pouted.
I didnt have lunch, just some snacks, Taeyeon continued.
Youre not mad at me anymore right? Tiffany said with
downcast eyes as the both of them entered Taeyeons room.
Taeyeon shook her head. She held an expressionless look,
but she was filled with guilt. She was never mad at Tiffany,
she was mad at herself.
Taetae you know what? Tiffany said as she faced Taeyeon
and placed both hands on Taeyeons shoulders, Youre the
best girlfriend ever.
Taeyeon tried to hide her pain and her guilt that intensified
with Tiffanys words.
She hugged Tiffany to avoid looking into her eyes.
***
Taeyeon borrowed her fathers car so that all of them could
head out.
While they were in the car, Taecyeon gave Jessica a call.
Taeyeon was praying that Jessica would choose not to join
them for lunch, but her prayers were not answered.
It turned out that Jessica would meet them at the lunch
venue.
They decided to go for Samgyetang since Tiffany was
craving for it.
After they arrived and settled down, Taecyeon received a
phone call from Jessica asking for directions.
Jessica is lost, can anyone direct her? Taecyeon asked as
he held the phone towards the center of the table.
Yoona said the first thing that came to mind. Taeyeon
Sunbae is the pro when it comes to directions.
Taecyeon handed the phone to Taeyeon and she took it.
She was reluctant, but she didnt show it.
Hi, its Taeyeon. Where are you now?
There was a short pause before Jessica replied her.

It was painful to key in each and every digit since this meant
that she now had Jessicas number.
Taeyeon drove off and arrived at the destination quickly.
From a distance, she saw Jessica talking to the old lady that
made the Hotteoks.
Taeyeon honked to get Jessicas attention just as she pulled
to a stop along the road.
Jessica turned to look and identified the car immediately
since she had been in the car more than once.
Jessica entered the car and the strong smell of Hotteok
wafted into the vehicle. Here, some Hotteoks for you. It
would have been weird if I didnt buy any since I was
standing there beside the cart.
Thanks, Taeyeon mumbled.
It was awkward for the both of them to be alone in the
vehicle. It had been a while since the two of them were
alone together.
Taeyeon took the first step to break the deafening silence. I
have something to tell you. Taecyeon found out... Taeyeon
paused for a moment as she made a U-turn. She wasnt
good at multi-tasking.
He did? Does Tiffany know? Jessica asked, unaware that
Taeyeon had not completed her sentence.

Oh no. I think she was the only child. Right? Tiffany turned
to Yuri and Taeyeon for affirmation.
The both of them nodded.
It must be hard on her mother, Taecyeon said with a sad
frown.
Yes. I think it gets so bad for her that she sometimes sees
my Taetae as her own daughter.
Can we visit later? Taecyeon requested.
Sure, why not, Tiffany nodded.

See you later, Taeyeon said as her best friend got off, I
need you to be around.
In that short period of time that Taeyeon had to herself in the
car, she started thinking.
Taeyeon couldnt understand why she was feeling such
intense feelings for Jessica.
She didnt know how it got so bad. She could not
comprehend everything that was happening to her.
...I know that shes happy to be with you so why should I
even have such a thought? Yuris words resounded in her
head.
Can I do the same? Taeyeon started asking herself.
Taeyeon then recalled what her Aunt said, ...Just follow
your heart...
It was all too much for Taeyeon to handle. She was feeling
too much and there were too many considerations.
Taeyeon chucked her thoughts aside. She was back at the
car park.
Everyone got in and Tiffany had shotgun.
After everyone settled in, Taeyeon started towards Uncle
Kang-Ins house.

Wait till you try the one at the famous stall, Yoona added
with a smirk.
When they got back to the car, Tiffany handed the extra
Hotteok to Taeyeon. Here you go.
Did you get any for Yuri? Taeyeon asked Tiffany.
Oops. I didnt, Tiffany responded. It was obvious she felt
bad about it.
Well just keep this for her, I dont need to have any,
Taeyeon said as she got into the car.
When they were all settled, Tiffany offered some of her
Hotteok to Taeyeon, Here Ill share mine with you.
Tiffany extended her arm and brought the Hotteok to
Taeyeons lips.
Taeyeon took a small and cautious bite. Ok, Im done.
Do you not like it too? Tiffany asked curiously.
Oh no, Im just quite full, Taeyeon said which then
reminded her of the day she shared a single Hotteok with
Jessica.
That was a beautiful day and she couldnt bear to share a
Hotteok with Tiffany in front of Jessica.

Yuri finally picked up her Hotteok and got down to eating it.
This seriously tastes like the ones you like, Yuri said to
Taeyeon.
Oh Taeyeon has a favorite stall? Tiffany said slightly
surprised, Taetae you should bring me there one day.
Yes she does, its at
Yuri ah just eat, Tiffany Ill bring you one day, Taeyeon said
quickly. The situation was getting slightly stressful and
Taeyeon really wanted out of it.
The three of them were so engrossed in their conversation
that they didnt notice that Yoona was reaching for the
dictionary.
Taeyeon was the first to notice and she rushed over.
Yoona yah, Taeyeon said as she tugged at Yoona, Stop
fiddling with th
The dictionary slipped out of Yoonas hands and landed on
Taeyeons head with a sharp thud.
Omo Yoona said in shock as Taeyeon cried out in pain.
Tiffany hurried over and started massaging Taeyeons head.
Yuri went over, picked up the dictionary and shoved it into
the drawer, This dictionary is hazardous, she said as she
kept the dictionary away from Yoona.

Its ok Taeyeon, you should hang out with the rest of them.
I dont want to, Taeyeon said, Ill help you out.
The old lady relented.
Moments later Tiffany entered the Kitchen. Halmeoni Ill
help you too, Tiffany offered.
You can go outside and entertain Taecyeon and Jessica. I
should be enough help, Taeyeon said to Tiffany.
Yes Tiffany, the kitchen is too small for three of us, the old
lady added on.
Just as Tiffany left, the old lady asked Taeyeon, Taeyeon
dear are you ok? You seem upset.
Taeyeon was actually still in control of herself, but the
sentence translated her frustration and her sadness into
tears.
Aigoo dont cry my dear, the old lady said as she wiped the
tears off Taeyeons face, Whats the matter?
Taeyeon just shook her head since there wasnt anything
she could tell the Halmeoni.
Do you want to go and hang out with them, the old lady
asked.

The dinner was over fairly quickly and everyone was ready
to leave after that.
Alright so who needs a lift home? Soo-jung offered.
Me! Yuri said immediately.
Ok, you and obviously Taecyeon is coming along with me,
Soo-jung said since Taecyeon was now living in her house.
Yoona where do you live? Soo-jung asked the young girl
that refused to talk much to her.
Yoona replied reluctantly.
You can come with me too, Soo-jung said, Its on the
way.
How about you Jessica, Soo-jung continued, Where do
you live?
Jessica replied her and Soo-jung gave an apologetic smile,
Im sorry, its out of the way. Youll have to go with
Taeyeon.
Ok,Ill take her, Taeyeon said quite readily, which surprised
everyone including Jessica.
Lets go, Soo-jung said as she tried to get everyone on
their feet.

Are you sure youll be alright going home alone this late?
Jessica asked as they stood at her gate.
Yeah Ill be fine, Taeyeon said with a confident smile.
Anyway thanks for accompanying me again today, Jessica
said from the bottom of her heart.
My pleasure, Taeyeon said as she contemplated whether
or not to offer Jessica a ride to the hospital in the morning.
Do you want to stay the night? At least Ill know that youre
safe, Jessica offered.
Oh no its fine, Taeyeon declined the offer, Ill just appear
tomorrow morning and give you a lift to the hospital. If you
dont see me tomorrow morning, you can call the police,
Taeyeon joked.
Wouldnt it be too late by then? Jessica said as she folded
her arms.
Ill be here, I promise, Taeyeon said as she walked away
quickly, Tomorrow morning at nine, ill see you. Good night!
Taeyeon left without giving Jessica the opportunity to reject
her.
Taeyeon walked with light footsteps towards the main road
so that she could hail a cab.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
It took her quite a while to walk down the slope, but time
passed by rather quickly as happy thoughts filled her head.
It was quite a special day.
***
Taeyeon had just gotten home. It was dark and quiet at
home since her Grandfather and father were probably
already asleep.
Taeyeon returned to her room and made her way to the
shower.
After she was done she plonked down on her bed only to
feel a sharp pain to her back.
Taeyeon reached beneath her only to find her phone. She
had completely forgotten about it until now.
She pushed on a button only to realise that her phone was
completely out of battery.
Taeyeon charged her phone and switched it on so that she
could set an alarm for the next morning.
As her phone switched on, Taeyeon got a surprise when she
saw forty missed calls and plenty of text messages.
It was then that she remembered that she was supposed to
meet with Yuri.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Crap!
Taeyeon quickly read her messages and she saw a load of
messages from Yuri asking her what time she was going
over. By the fourth message, Yuri was sounding more and
more worried. By the seventh message, Yuri was guessing
that Taeyeon had disappeared onto her Yacht again.
Taeyeon sent Yuri a text message to apologise. She lied
that she had gone on her Yacht and left her phone behind.
Taeyeon settled down in bed again and snuggled into her
pillow. She turned on her sides to face the window that
overlooked the backyard.
Taeyeon touched her cheek. She could still remember the
manner in which Jessicas lips brushed against her cheeks.
It made her heart pound.
She thought of her promise to appear at Jessicas place
tomorrow morning. It frightened her slightly there was a
certain desire rousing in her heart.
Taeyeon disapproved of cheating and she did not want
herself in that situation.
I have to stop seeing Jessica. I must be lonely because
Tiffany isnt around.
Taeyeon convinced herself to meet Jessica for the last time
and never be in touch ever again.

It was not right to let a girl like that slip by for a fleeting
moment with somebody else.
From the first day of being away from Jessica till now,
Taeyeon was in two minds about whether or not to see
Jessica again. She could if she wanted to since she knew
perfectly well where to find her.
Taeyeon ended up convincing herself that if they were fated
to meet, they would eventually. Despite that, Taeyeon
thought it no harm if she were to increase the odds by
frequenting Jessicas favorite restaurant.
Taeyeon finished half of the Bulgogi and couldnt bear to
continue. She was sick of the taste. Even the smell of
Bulgogi made her queasy.
I cant do this anymore, I cant.
Taeyeon made payment and left.
What is wrong with me? I need to stop being such an idiot.
Taeyeon made the decision to go on her Yacht for the rest of
the week so that she wouldnt have to try so hard to refrain
from wandering near Jessicas doorstep or the hospital.
Taeyeon set off to buy supplies so that she could survive out
at sea without returning to land for the next few days.
She ended up buying more instant Ramyun and some other
snacks and instant food so that she would have plenty of
food to keep her away until Jessica left. Along with all that
food, Taeyeon got herself plenty of bottled water and some

Yes, your friend. The one who is about your height, whats
her name the old lady paused as she tried to recall.
Jessica? Taeyeon said as she filled in the blanks for the
old lady.
Oh yes! Jessica. Yes. Shes the one, the old lady said as
she flipped the Hotteoks.
Taeyeon almost gave herself a hard smack to her forehead,
but she just stood there wide-eyed.
To think that I have been frequenting the Bulgogi restaurant
for nothing. If I had only kept to my usual routine, Taeyeon
chided herself for trying too hard.
Speak of the devil, the old lady said as she pointed behind
Taeyeon.
Taeyeons heart pounded violently against her ribcage. She
knew that Jessica was walking towards her and she
suddenly felt disoriented and nervous.
Taeyeon didnt know how to act or what to say.
She took a deep breath to calm herself before she turned
around.
The moment she saw Jessica, the feeling of anxiety
vanished and was replaced by a bout of euphoria.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
All she wanted was to spend some time with Jessica and
ease her pining heart.
Great! I just happen to be available. Are we going directly?
Jessica asked with a look of elation.
Yes, we are. Ill just have to give my Grand dad a call to let
him know that his car is at the Marina.
Wonderful, Jessica said as she rubbed her hands together
in glee, Ill inform my Grandmother too just in case she
worries.
Jessica called the hospital and she spoke to her
Grandmother for a while. It did not take too long before the
both of them were done with their phone calls.
Jessica and Taeyeon then headed off towards the car with
the ten Hotteoks that Taeyeon got. It was clear from both
their faces that they were delighted to see each other once
again.
As they were walking, Jessica commented teasingly, You
sure smell like Bulgogi. Have you been eating Bulgogi
without me?
Well its only fair since you have been eating Hotteoks
without me too, Taeyeon responded wittily.
Oh Taeyeon suddenly stopped in her tracks, We were in
such a hurry to leave that I didnt realise you havent gotten
Author : Yongel

Jessica took the other lot of it, but the both of them definitely
had to make a second trip back to the vehicle. Seriously,
how long were you intending to head out for? We cant even
carry everything to the Yacht, Jessica said as she struggled
with the bags of supplies.
Honestly, I was intending to go for at least a week and a
half, Taeyeon confessed.
Wow that is so long, I would have gone back to America by
then, Jessica said as she counted, Its fortunate I bumped
into you today isnt it? Otherwise we would probably never
get to see each other again.
Taeyeon just laughed it off, but deep down she was having
mixed feelings about the chance meeting.
Which is your Yacht? Jessica asked as she inspected the
dock full of beautiful Yachts.
You can pick one, if you pick the right one Ill reward you,
Taeyeon said confidently. She was pretty sure that Jessica
wouldnt be able to identify the correct Yacht since there
were so many Yachts there.
Taeyeon stopped walking and stood in the middle of the
wooden deck. Two rows of private Yachts lined the sides,
one on each side. The pathways branched out so that more
Yachts could be docked there.
From where they were standing, Taeyeons Yacht was
clearly visible.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Why dont you just stay here while I head back to the car
and get the rest of the stuff, Taeyeon said as she placed
everything on the ground and started towards the car.
Ok, Jessica said as she explored the rows of Yachts.
Some were very magnificent looking and some were totally
lavish. There were also a few that were colonial looking.
Taeyeon finally returned after a short moment, only to see
that Jessica was standing in front of her Yacht. Jessica was
looking at the Yacht with a far-away look in her eyes. It was
as if she was in a meditative state and the Yacht had
captured her soul.
"Don't tell me that's your choice?" Taeyeon asked as she
tried to hide the surprise in her voice.
"Oh I I was just looking and I chanced upon this one. The
moment I set my eyes on it I don't know, I just really feel
for this one. Is this yours?" Jessica asked as she stood by
the Yacht.
"It is actually," Taeyeon said feeling slightly creeped out.
"It is?" Jessica's jaw dropped. She was surprised that she
got it right too since she was just drawn to it before she
even had time to make a real consideration.
"Yeah, let's get on," Taeyeon said as she headed onto the
Yacht.

How about I let you try your hand at taking us out to sea?
Taeyeon suggested. She knew that Jessica was excited
about the idea the moment she saw Jessicas eyes light up.
Yay! Jessica squealed in excitement.
Taeyeon smiled as she unlocked the door to her personal
refuge that she so rarely allowed foreign entry. It was a
personal space that even Tiffany had no access to
frequently. In fact, Tiffany had only been on the Yacht once.
The moment Jessica stepped through the doors, she was
impressed at the interior. She was met with the dining table
to her right and some stairs that spiraled downwards on her
left. Further ahead was a full blown kitchen fitted into a
decent space, and as they stood there, they were
surrounded by tinted panes that gave them an all round
view of the surroundings.
Wow, you have a kitchen in here, Jessica said in awe.
I do, Taeyeon said with pride, You should take a look at
the rest of the Yacht.
The both of them set the bags of stuff in their hands by the
dining table and Taeyeon brought Jessica around.
Taeyeon first took her up the stairs to the helm station where
they had a clear view of the deck at the front of the Yacht.
Wow, that is a good spot to sun tan in summer, Jessica
said as she pointed to the front.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Its a nice spot to chill out and relax too as dusk falls,
Taeyeon added on. It was where she frequently laid on her
back so that she could watch the wondrous star studded
night sky.
Come on, Ill show you the bedroom, Taeyeon said as she
led Jessica down the stairs towards the other spiral
staircase.
As the both of them walked down the twirling set of stairs,
Jessica couldnt help but give a gasp of amazement.
The salon featured a cosy U-shaped Sofa that faced a flat
screen TV, and further front was the door to the master
cabin. The opened cabin door revealed a double bed that
was lit by the sun rays that fell through the portholes and the
skylight.
Jessica headed for the bedroom immediately and Taeyeon
followed behind her.
She then sat down on the bed and looked up towards the
skylight. This is absolutely amazing. I would love to just live
here all my life. Who needs a house, Jessica said as she
let loose and fell backwards onto the bed.
Wait till you see the night view, Taeyeon said, It is
absolutely captivating and nothing compares to that.
Really? Jessica asked as she sat upright, Can we see it
tonight?

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
If you want to, but that means that well only get back to
mainland the next morning, Taeyeon said apprehensively.
Why not? Ill be home alone anyways, Jessica said as she
sealed both their fates with that sentence.

that Jessica had already left for the shower. All Taeyeon saw
were a heap of clothes on the bed.
Taeyeon returned to the galley and made herself a nice
warm cup of tea.
Ill make it through the night just fine, Taeyeon thought to
herself.
Little did she know.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Yes, she loves me. Tiffany loves me. I love her, yes, I love
her.
OH Taeyeon? Jessica said as she entered the master
cabin, the shock evident in her voice, what are you doing
huddled at the corner? You scared me.
Taeyeon was equally startled at Jessicas sudden entrance,
I was just looking through my phone, said Taeyeon as she
quickly locked the screen of her phone before she turned to
face Jessica.
Jessica was clad only in a towel. Her hair was still wet, but
her shoulders were dry and smooth, except for a few drops
of water that dripped onto her shoulders and trickled down
her back.
You can shower now, Jessica said as she sauntered
towards the bed.
Did you need another set of clothes? Taeyeon questioned.
Oh, Jessica said with a laugh, Im sorry if youre not used
to this, its just that in America I walk around a lot in just my
towel. In fact, we all do that in the locker room. Im not
making you feel uncomfortable am I?
Oh Umm, no. Im ok, Taeyeon said as she turned to face
the wardrobe. She quickly grabbed her clothes and a towel
before she left for the shower.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
After her cold shower, Taeyeon felt much better. It made her
more refreshed.
When Taeyeon returned to the master cabin, she saw
Jessica laying on the bed and staring up at the sky through
the skylight.
Enjoying the view? Taeyeon asked as she hung up her
towel.
Mmhmm, the night sky really looks different out at sea,
Jessica said in a relaxed voice.
Its even better at the deck, Taeyeon said as she sat at the
edge of the bed and looked up through the skylight as well.
Then what are we waiting for, Jessica said as she sat up
and slipped her arms through Taeyeons.
Jessica dragged Taeyeon out the door and the both of them
clambered up the stairs.
They finally arrived at the top deck and Jessica sat down
and leaned back on a big cushion that Taeyeon left on the
deck, Beautiful, Jessica said feeling quite pleased with the
view.
Of course it is, Taeyeon said with a smile. She sat down
beside Jessica and watched as the girl fussed over the
beautiful night sky.

spend the rest of your life with them. Then what? Taeyeon
said voicing her own fears.
Then that is love at first sight at the wrong moment, but it
still is love at first sight.
Love at first sight is an excuse for being irresponsible,
Taeyeon said with strong emotions. She was chiding herself
for feeling that way towards Jessica.
She downed the glass of champagne and placed the empty
flute on the deck.
But it cant be helped, Jessica insisted.
It can be, the person just has to exercise self control and
love at first sight is out the door, said Taeyeon.
That, was what she wanted to believe.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
She felt Jessica slip her arms around her waist and all
Taeyeon could think of in that moment was Jessica and not
the storm that could cause them their lives.
There were a few claps of thunder and Jessica tightened
her grip on Taeyeon.
Taeyeon ended up stroking the back of Jessicas head very
tenderly and whispered, Its ok. Everything will be ok.
What if it isnt? Jessica asked, the worry evident in her
voice.
Then Ill be with you every step of the way, doing my best to
make sure everything is ok, Taeyeon said sincerely.
Moments later, Taeyeon felt a few drops of water on her
neck and she started to panic.
Is there a leak? What should I do.
After a few more drops, Taeyeon felt like something wasnt
quite right. The droplets felt warm.
Jessica?
Yes? Jessica said as she tried to hide a sniffle.
Are you crying or is there a leak in the ceiling?
Jessica kept quiet and Taeyeon instantly knew that it was
Jessicas tears that were trickling down her neck.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
She reached for Jessicas cheeks and wiped her tears away.
Dont be afraid, stop crying, Taeyeon said lovingly amidst
the violent storm.
It was then that came a bright white flash of lightning along
with a loud crack, causing the both of them to hug each
other tightly.
Taeyeon was quite sure that some part of her Yacht had just
gotten struck by lightning. She was uncertain if they would
survive the night.
What was that? Jessica asked in panic.
A sign for me to do this, Taeyeon said as she pressed her
lips against Jessicas.
She couldnt hold back any longer. If her Yacht was going to
sink and if she was going to die, the least she could do was
to die without regrets.
As Fate would have it - Chapter 40
*Continuation of Flashback*
The moment their lips touched, Taeyeon felt a warm fuzzy
feeling in her heart and something unleashed itself and took
over her body.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
The pair kept going and the sound of their wet lips caressing
each other filled the room. They were so absorbed in their
show of affection that they didnt realise that the waves were
getting less violent and the Yacht was gently swaying to the
waves instead of crashing into the waves.
In fact, the storm started to die down the moment their lips
touched, but they were too busy to notice.
By the time they realised what was going on around them,
the both of them had already kissed themselves silly.
The Yacht was still afloat and the storm had gone on by.
Were alive? Im not in heaven? Or am I? Jessica said
shyly as she played a perfect pun.
Reality started to kick in for Taeyeon as she grasped the
situation.
Im alive. Were alive, and we kissed. No, I kissed her.
Are you ok? Jessica asked as she caressed Taeyeons
face very lovingly.
Yes I am, Taeyeon said as she nodded.
Jessica then hugged Taeyeon tightly and leaned against her
shoulders, I have feelings for you.
Taeyeon simply nodded.

It was her dream come true, but yet, at the same time, she
knew that she had given in to her impulse and made a
terrible mistake. She had a girlfriend and Jessica didnt
know that.
Taeyeon felt rotten for lying to Jessica and betraying Tiffany.
If her best friend found out, she would get so upset.
Jessica, were not entirely out of danger yet. I need to
check on the damage, Taeyeon said so that she could get
out of the embrace that she so enjoyed, but shouldnt be.
Ok, Jessica said as she released Taeyeon from the hug.
As Taeyeon got off the bed, Jessica followed suit. Taeyeon
then felt Jessica reach for her hand and interlocked their
fingers. It felt so good even though Taeyeon knew that it
wasnt right.
The both of them walked hand in hand up the stairs to the
galley area. There were no apparent damages from where
they were so Taeyeon decided to head out.
Why dont you stay inside. Ill just go out and quickly take a
look, Taeyeon said as she led Jessica to the dining table.
Ok, Jessica said as she gave Taeyeon a quick peck to the
lips.
Taeyeon could feel her ears heat up as she walked away
from Jessica.

Are you sure thats what you miss? Taecyeon said with a
cheeky grin.
Tiffany hit Taecyeon hard, Stop teasing!
Are you attached? Jessica joined in the teasing.
Yes she is, and guess what? Taecyeon continued.
What? Hes a hottie? Jessica made a guess.
More like shes a hottie, Taecyeon revealed, causing
Jessica to do a double take. It made her think of Taeyeon.
Tiffany groaned and hid her face in her palms which caused
Taecyeon to roar with laughter.
How did it happen? Jessica asked curiously.
Yes, how did it happen my dear friend, Taecyeon teased
even though he already knew, theres plenty of time to fill
Jessie in on the long car ride, Taecyeon continued.
The moment they got into the car, Jessica turned her head
to face Tiffany, So how did it start?
Taecyeon laughed as he drove off, Ive never seen Jessica
this enthusiastic before.
It just did, Tiffany explained, I spent time with her and the
more I got to know her, the more I fell.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Didnt you ever get bothered that shes a girl and so are
you? Jessica questioned.
I did, but it doesnt matter. Id rather be with a girl I love
than be with a guy that I dont.
Tiffanys sentence hit too close to home. Jessica was in love
with someone else besides Taecyeon, and she wanted to be
with her.
Perhaps I should return to Korea too, theres a certain
charm about the place, Jessica said without revealing her
true motivation.
Taeyeons words resounded in her head as she said that,
But youre living in America...
How is she?
Shes ok now, but she was hospitalized for quite a long
while, Jessica said in a tired voice, She needs someone to
be there with her.
Well go back and take care of her together ok?
Jessica pretended to fall asleep. She didnt want to have to
reply to Taecyeon.
Jessie, Taecyeon called out softly, are you asleep?
Jessica laid still and feigned unconsciousness .
Silly girl, you must be really tired, Taecyeon said as he
planted a warm kiss on her forehead.
Jessica felt like crying, but she held back her tears.
Moments later she heard Taecyeon call Tiffany.
Hey Tiffany, seriously, find me a place when you get back.
Jessie seems serious about going back to Korea. She wants
to go back because of her Grandmother. Her Grandma
fainted and was hospitalized for a bit, Taecyeon explained.
Jessica felt even more guilty as she heard the conversation.
She then turned her back to Taecyeon as a tear rolled down
her cheek.

I have feelings for you too, but you live in America and
were both girls."
Tiffany then shoved both of them closer to each other and
forced a handshake. When their hands came into contact,
all Jessica could think of were the kisses and the hugs they
shared.
Jessica felt cheated. To think that she was willing to give up
so much for someone, someone who already belonged to
someone else.
*End of Flashback*
Jessicas tears were flowing non-stop as she stood with
Taeyeon by the river.
Taeyeon raised her hand in an attempt to wipe away
Jessicas tears but her hand was knocked away violently by
Jessica.
Dont touch me! Your hands are only good for Tiffany!
Jessica said spitefully.
"You came back for me?" Taeyeon repeated the question
that Jessica conveniently ignored.
"Does it matter anymore? You're with Tiffany, remember?"
Jessica said as she sobbed.
"I'm sorry," Taeyeon said as she lowered her head.

Tiffany called for you just now, you may want to call her
back, Jonghyun replied.
Yes dad, my phone is out of battery. Thanks and good
night.
Taeyeon returned to her room quickly only to have Jessicas
lips crashing against hers once again. .
"Someone is so desperate for me isn't she?" Taeyeon
teased as she pulled apart and locked her room door.
Jessica blushed a deep red and hid her face in Taeyeon's
shoulders, "don't you want it too?"
"I do, but it's time for a shower," Taeyeon said as she gave
Jessica a peck on the cheeks, "I'll get you a towel."
The both of them held hands as Taeyeon walked around her
room and gathered a towel and some clothes for Jessica.
"Has Tiffany been in your clothes before?" Jessica asked in
a jealous manner.
Taeyeon shook her head, "Nobody has."
"Good," Jessica said as she tossed the clothes on the bed.
Jessica began to strip out of her clothes in front of Taeyeon.
Taeyeon quickly turned away. She could feel her pulse
quicken and her ears heat up.

How can I pull that off without making any of them upset?
Jessica who was wrapped only in the towel sat down beside
Taeyeon. It was apparent that she was going to sit there and
listen in on the conversation until Taeyeon ended the call.
It was such bad timing.
An ingenious idea suddenly popped into Taeyeons head.
She smiled.
Taeyeon moved towards Jessica and landed a kiss on her
lips with a loud smack, I love you, she said.
Jessica smiled and Tiffany giggled.
Ok Fany ah, Im really tired and I need to shower. Ill see
you tomorrow. Good night, Taeyeon said quickly.
She knew she wouldnt be able to hold up any longer. The
two girls were not easy girls to deal with and she knew that
perfectly well.
Ok Taetae, Good night. I love you too, Tiffany said sweetly.
Taeyeon quickly ended the call.
The moment she hung up, Jessica gave her a knowing look,
Dont think I dont know what you were trying to pull off just
now.

It seems like the blanket doesnt want to let you go, its not
me, Jessica said cheekily.
Taeyeon tugged at the blanket and tried to free herself. It
was a mistake.
Im sorry, Taeyeon said as she stood up and quickly turned
her back, I didnt mean to.
Taeyeons face turned a deep red and her ears turned hot
immediately.
She then felt Jessicas arms around her waist as Jessica
pressed against Taeyeons back.
Taeyeon could feel every single inch of Jessicas body as
she rested her chin on Taeyeons shoulder and giggled.
She then whispered into Taeyeons left ear, Youre so cute
when you behave this way.
Taeyeon blushed even more.
Im assuming you and Tiffany havent Jessica paused.
She kissed the back of Taeyeons neck lightly.
Taeyeon gulped.
Im going to shower, Taeyeon said quickly as she escaped
into the bathroom.

but its yours and yours only, Jessica said as she sat
Taeyeon down very gently in bed and then straddled the girl.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
She pictured Tiffany crying over her and she felt a pinch in
her heart.
Taeyeon turned to look at Jessica once more. She recalled
Jessica hurting so badly the night before and her heart
contracted in pain.
What am I to do now?
Taeyeon knew that what she had just done with Jessica was
plain selfish no matter how in love they were with each
other.
Taeyeon ran her fingers along Jessicas neck and then
touched the diamond star that sat squarely against Jessicas
chest.
It fitted her perfectly.
For a moment, Taeyeon found it hard to believe that she
actually gave Jessica her mothers necklace.
Why did I do that?
Everything with Jessica didnt make logical sense at all.
What am I doing?
Since she woke up, Taeyeon had been asking herself
countless questions and she knew it. She was feeling
conflicted and she was the kind that needed a reason for
everything.

Ok, Ill let them know. Should I head over to your place?
Taecyeon asked.
No, just let me know what time to meet and where.
Ok, Ill text you later. Love you.
Love you too. Bye.
Taeyeon frowned and then turned her back on Jessica.
She switched on the water and continued with her shower.
Is someone jealous too? Jessica said as she gave
Taeyeon a back hug.
Cant I be?
Of course you can, Jessica said as she turned Taeyeon
around to face her, Youre exceptionally cute when youre
jealous.
Jessica planted a gentle kiss on Taeyeons lips.

You sure took a long time to shower. Your noodles are all
soggy already, Tiffany said as she sat on the couch
watching TV.

The look in his eyes were so intense and filled with a tinge
of sadness that it almost seemed as if a heart wrenching
memory was playing out in his head.
Are you ok? Jessica asked.
Jonghyun seemed to have snapped out of the trance with
that sentence. He then took the keys, Yes, yes Im ok.
Nice to meet you, Jessica said politely, Ill be leaving
now.
Jessica started down the stairs but before she even reached
the foot of the stairs, Jonghyun spoke again, Its hard to get
out of here, do you need a lift to the bus stop?
Jessica was surprised at the offer, Oh its ok, Taeyeon
called a cab for me. It should be here soon.
I see, Jonghyun said as he walked behind Jessica.
How did you meet Taeyeon? Jonghyun continued with a
question as he caught up with Jessica.
She sent my grandmother to the hospital, Jessica said
truthfully.
Jonghyun continued walking Jessica to the front door. How
do you feel about Taeyeon?
Jessica was taken aback by the question, Umm, shes
great, Jessica said awkwardly. She had no choice but to

I dont get it. If Taeyeon is with Tiffany, why cant she accept
that her mother used to be in love with Taeyeon, I mean the
super Taeyeon, not the lousy mean pig of a Taeyeon whos
our friend.
You dont get it. Taeyeon may appear to be mean, cold and
unfeeling at times, but thats because she grew up without a
mother. Shes not good at expressing herself, but shes
actually a very sensitive person.
And? How does that relate to if she finds out that her
mother was dating my super Taeyeon.
Shes not your Taeyeon, and, if our Taeyeon found out that
her mother was not as perfect as she thought she was, I
believe itll hurt her quite a lot. You dont understand what
its like for Taeyeon. Just imagine, if you found out that your
Super Taeyeon wasnt as perfect wouldnt you get
disappointed?
Yoona pondered for a moment.
Hmm, it seems like you do make sense. Ill try to be more
careful, Yoona said as she continued to explore the room.
But this is really so cool. They spent so much time in this
room and it really hasnt changed much. Everything is
almost the same except for Taecyeons stuff. Can you
imagine? My Super Taeyeon slept on this bed before. The
first picture that dropped out of the book was taken in this
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
room on this bed, Yoona said as she got more and more
excited.
You know what, Taeyeon is right, youre a little mad. Youre
obsessed with a dead person.
Because theres nobody around whos worth my attention.
Shame on all of you, a dead person is actually more
worthy, Yoona rebuked.
Fine, Its a good thing. At least nobody has to escape from
you. That sure is a relief, Yuri said sarcastically, Im a little
worried for Jessica though.
Ha, she is quite the hottie, but shes not really my type.
Super Taeyeon is, Yoona sighed, I wish she could return
from the dead and enter my oh so pathetic life.
Dream on Im Yoona, Yuri smacked her on her forehead.
Oh cant you let a girl dream for a bit? You didnt have to do
that, Yoona said as she furrowed her brows.
Yoona dug in her bag and took out the faded book that was
filled with pictures of Soo-yeon and Taeyeon.
She then flipped it open and looked at the first picture again,
You know what, I have to admit that Taeyeons mother was
really attractive, its no wonder she managed to capture my
Taeyeons heart. Look at whats written here, the best things
happen by accident. Taeyeon was such a romantic.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Yoona removed the photo from the slot and flipped it around
to show it to Yuri. It was then that she saw the words written
on the back of the photograph in a different handwriting.
My love, this is no accident. I am your destiny.
What are you talking about again? Anyway please keep the
photo and the book, we dont want anyone else walking in to
see you holding a photo of Taeyeons mother, Yuri said in
an urgent whisper.
Yoona returned the photograph to the slot and kept the book
away. The both of them were so very much in love. This
book is total proof of their love. It makes my heart ache. Im
so curious what happened and why did Taeyeons mother
end up marrying Uncle Jonghyun.
Be curious all you want, just be careful not to let Taeyeon
find out, Yuri instructed.
My career as a private detective begins here, Yoona said
with gusto.
Oh please, you mean obsessed nosey parker.
"Let's just buy the tickets and say that I chose the show,"
Yoona suggested, "She can't get mad at me."
"Great idea!" Taecyeon snapped his fingers, "Yoona's a
genius!"
"Are you sure?" Tiffany double checked.
"Yeah, or I'll never ever get to watch the movie in the
theaters," Taecyeon responded, "I feel bad but it's just once
that I'm pulling something like this."
"Give yourself a break, let's go," Yoona said in her usual
attitude.
"Any objections?" Taecyeon asked the rest one last time.
Everyone shook their heads and Taeyeon was in no position
to protest. She enjoyed horror movies and Yuri knew that.
The four of them ended up at a mall and they had no choice
but to get tickets for the show screening an hour later. There
were no other available time slots.
"Where's Jessie? Will she make it in time?" Tiffany asked
Taecyeon.
"She's still home I think," Taecyeon said as he took out his
phone, "I'll call her again. Anyway she wouldnt mind
missing some parts of the show."
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Taeyeon knew that Jessica was already home and she was
having her lunch.
What exactly is she busy with? Tiffany questioned.
I dont know, Taecyeon shrugged his shoulders.
And you dont bother to find out? Tiffany asked Taecyeon
in surprise.
Nah, doesnt bother me. She tells me stuff if its important,
said Taecyeon as he waited for Jessica to pick up the
phone.
Hey love, Taecyeon said with a cheerful smile.
Taeyeon was watching Taecyeons expression intently. He
was constantly speaking with a cheerful smile.
It was clear that Jessica brought him joy.
He continued explaining to Jessica that they had gotten
tickets to a movie for an hour later.
They conversed a bit more and then hung up.
She wouldnt be able to make it in time. She said to leave
the tickets at the ticket counter, Taecyeon said to the rest.
Alright, lets go for some food please, Yoona said as she
rubbed her tummy, Im starving. Yuri unnie and I didnt have
lunch.

Ok, here goes. Tell him that his punishment for buying the
tickets before even seeking my consent is this. Im not going
to sit beside him later and Im not going to talk to him for the
rest of this week.
Umm, Yoona is the one who wanted to watch the movie,
Tiffany said in an attempt to cover for her best friend.
Regardless, I know he wants to watch it too. Dont bother
speaking up for him. That boy needs to know Im serious,
Jessica responded.
Jessica handed the phone back to Taeyeon.
Hello, Taeyeon said to let Tiffany know that it was her
again.
Is Jessica serious? Tiffany asked immediately.
Sure seems like it, Taeyeon replied. She shuddered at the
thought of Jessicas feisty statement even though she knew
that was Jessicas way of creating an opportunity for the
both of them to be closer.
Just pass the message, well be there as soon as possible,
Taeyeon said and ended the call shortly.
Im sitting beside you later, Jessica said smugly.
Youre so sly, Taeyeon said disapprovingly, poor Taecyeon
must be scared out of his wits.

Taeyeon kept quiet. She had her own thoughts but she was
not going to say anything to Jessica.
Taeyeon knew that Yuri must be feeling torn at the moment.
Taeyeon knew that her best friend would never ever come in
between Tiffany and her.
Tiffany was just hanging on to Yuri because Taeyeon wasnt
there.
It was sad.
Taeyeon knew that Yuri was suffering deep inside and she
couldnt talk to anyone about her feelings.
Yuri was a selfless friend, and it made it even more difficult
for Taeyeon to hurt them both.
Remember were supposed to be acquaintances who
dislike each other now. Lets stop talking, Taeyeon said as
she walked towards their seats.
The moment Taeyeon arrived by the aisle, she saw two
pairs of eyes look up at her.
Tiffany was glad that Taeyeon was here and she reached
out for the girl immediately. She looked like she was almost
going to cry.
Yuri on the other hand had a guilty and anxious expression.
It was obvious that she was worried that Taeyeon would get
upset.

The longer she sat there with Tiffany, the more she yearned
for Jessica. It was as if Jessica cast a spell on her.
Taeyeon finally reached her breaking point. It bothered her
too much. Thoughts of Jessica filled her mind.
Taeyeon clutched her tummy and then whispered to Tiffany.
Fany ah, my tummy hurts. I need to go to the bathroom,
Taeyeon lied.
Go on, Tiffany said as she released Taeyeons arm.
Taeyeon hurried along and left the cinema hall. The moment
she stepped out, she saw Jessica standing by the door.
You came after all, Jessica smirked.
Thats because youre the reincarnation of Siren, Taeyeon
joked, who can possibly resist you.
You can choose not to, Jessica said as she walked on
towards the ladies.
Taeyeon followed her like a dog on a leash.
When they arrived in the toilet, Taeyeon pushed Jessica into
a toilet stall the moment nobody was around.
Taeyeon locked the door behind her and started kissing
Jessica frantically.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
cubicle and was about to get Jessica to make a run for it,
but the door to her left suddenly pulled open again causing
Taeyeon a panic attack.
Taeyeon instantly nudged Jessica and pulled her to the back
of the door, and just in time too.
Yoona happened to step out of the stall to see a pale-faced
Taeyeon standing awkwardly between the half open door.
Taeyeon was in a weird position because she wanted to
shut the door, but she did not have enough time.
"Is there toilet paper? There should be since you had an
upset tummy," Yoona asked and answered herself as she
waited for Taeyeon to get out of the way.
Dont you want to get out? I need to go badly, Yoona said
as she watched Taeyeon who was still rooted in the same
spot.
"No, don't use this one," Taeyeon said as she broke out in
cold sweat.
"Why are you dictating which cubicle I can or can not use?"
Yoona said as she narrowed her eyes at Taeyeon.
"I'm not," Taeyeon said and then held on to the door. She
knew that if Yoona forced her way through, there was no
way they could explain what Jessica was doing behind the
door.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
"Then get out and let me in," Yoona said impatiently, "I really
really need to go and I want to get back to the movie
pronto."
"It stinks ok, I just took a crap so just use another cubicle,"
Taeyeon said as she held on firmly to the door.
Yoona started laughing at Taeyeon. She had never seen
Taeyeon behaving this way before.
At least spare me some toilet paper, Yoona said as she
clutched her sides and laughed.
Taeyeon turned back and removed the entire roll of toilet
paper, Here you go. Now, enjoy your business, Taeyeon
said as she shoved the entire roll into Yoonas hands.
"I'm so telling Yuri unnie what happened," Yoona said as she
disappeared into the same cubicle she had gone in to earlier
on.
Taeyeon waited a while. Once she heard Yoona doing her
business, she motioned for Jessica to leave.
Before Jessica ran out, she stole a quick kiss with Taeyeon.
Jessica had barely left her side for three seconds when
Taeyeon heard the sound of two bodies colliding together.
She heard Jessica shriek and so she instinctively ran out of
the cubicle.

Taeyeon felt bad, but she knew that there was absolutely
nothing she could do.
Anyway Jessica unnie, umm, are you still mad at Taecyeon
Oppa? Yoona asked as she started walking beside Jessica.
Yes, Jessica replied, her tone of voice changing in an
instant.
I was the one who wanted to watch the show, why dont
you forgive him? Yoona pleaded for her forgiveness.
No, in fact, theres no reason for me to still be here. I
should just leave now, Jessica said in frustration as she
picked up her pace.
Jessica, Tiffany called out to her, but she garnered no
response from the girl.
Jessica just walked further and further away from them.
What should we do? Tiffany turned to Taeyeon for her
advise.
Lets go after her? Taeyeon suggested.
Ok, Im not interested in the movie anyway, said Tiffany,
What about the rest of them?
Yoona can just let them know, they can call us later when
theyre done with the movie, Taeyeon said as she picked up
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
her pace too, Yoona you can do that cant you? Come on,
Jessica is gone.
Thanks Yoona, Tiffany said as she struggled to catch up
with Taeyeons quick foot steps.
Yoona stood at her spot, watching as the couple went after
Jessica.
Yoona folded her arms and pursed her lips.
She wore a frown and her brow were knitted together as she
watched Tiffany and Taeyeon hurry after Jessica.
Hmmm...
As Fate would have it - Chapter 55
Yoona stood at the same spot. She was anxious to get back
to her movie previously, but not anymore. Whatever this
was, it was way more interesting.
Taeyeon was unusually earnest to go after Jessica. Yoona
has never seen her behaving like that before. It was not
Taeyeon's style to behave this way.
She actually seemed anxious?
The Taeyeon Yoona knew rarely cared about anything at all.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
While she was walking beside Jessica, she found her scent
strangely familiar. It was now that she realised why. Jessica
smelt like Taeyeon.
In the period that Yoona had a serious crush on Taeyeon,
she took note of every single detail. This was why she could
recognise the scent. It was the smell of Taeyeon's shampoo.
Is this a mere coincidence? Am I over thinking things?
Yoona knew that it was a crazy thought, but there was
something that just didn't sit quite right. She didn't recall
seeing a third cubicle being occupied.
Did I remember wrong? Maybe I did.
Yoona chided herself for her over active imagination and
returned to the movie.
When Yoona returned to the cinema, she returned to her
seat that was in between Yuri and Taecyeon.
She turned to Yuri first, "There was a little incident in the
toilet, I don't exactly know what happened, but Jessica
actually got mad suddenly and she decided to leave.
Taeyeon Sunbae and Tiffany went after her."
"In this case, I think we should tell Taecyeon," Yuri said as
she glanced at Taecyeon.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
The movie was finally over. Yoona and Yuri were walking out
of the cinema.
"Should we look for them now?" Yoona questioned, "Why
don't you call Tiffany unnie?"
Yuri shook her head, "Why don't you just call them and tell
them that we will be heading back ourselves."
"Ok," Yoona said as she saw the look on Yuri's face. Yuri
was looking quite bothered. Something was definitely up.
Yoona called Tiffany and informed her that they would not
be joining. They spoke for a while before Tiffany ended the
call.
"Is everything ok?" Yuri asked once Yoona ended the call.
"Jessica broke up with Taecyeon," Yoona revealed.
"She what?" Yuri asked in astonishment.
Yoona frowned as she emphasized, "She broke up with
Taecyeon over a movie."
"Is Taecyeon ok? Tiffany's with him?"
"He's crying. Tiffany's with him. Taeyeon went home," Yoona
said with her lips pursed.
"He's what?" Yuri asked with her eyes wide open.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
"Ok, I will. Don't worry," Taeyeon said just as she opened the
door and entered.
The moment Taeyeon shut the door behind her, Jessica
stood up and pushed Taeyeon away. "Go away. I don't need
you here!"
Taeyeon stumbled backwards into the door handle. She
winced in pain. "No."
"Go away!" Jessica shouted as she moved forward and
started hitting Taeyeon repeatedly, but Taeyeon just stood
there, motionless.
"No," Taeyeon said in the same calm and persistent tone.
"Go back to Tiffany!" Jessica said as she grabbed Taeyeon's
arm and bit down hard on Taeyeon's right shoulder.
Taeyeon gritted her teeth and repeated in the same tone as
before, "No."
Jessica finally stopped when she tasted blood in her mouth.
Jessica bit down so hard that Taeyeon's shoulder started
bleeding.
Taeyeon felt Jessica's teeth loosen its grip on her shoulders.
"Are you less angry now?" Taeyeon asked the girl in her
arms. There was not a single hint of anger or impatience in
Taeyeon's voice.
Jessica nodded, her tears still streaming down her cheeks.

*Flashback*
Taeyeon dragged Tiffany along as Jessica disappeared
around the corner.
"Jessie," Tiffany called after Jessica but there was no
response.
"Taetae, go after her and stop her, I had better call Taecyeon
now," Tiffany said to Taeyeon as she took out her phone.
Taeyeon let go of Tiffany's hands and started running
towards the direction in which Jessica disappeared.
She managed to catch up with Jessica shortly after and she
grabbed Jessica's hands.
"Stop Jessica Stop," Taeyeon panted.
Jessica glared at Taeyeon, "Don't come after me. You know
why I'm upset and there's nothing you can do about it so
why did you come after me? You should just let me leave,"
Jessica said overflowing with bitterness and jealousy.
"I care that's why i'm here," Taeyeon tried to explain. She
knew there was not much she could have done, but she did
not want Jessica to get all mad and upset as well.
"I feel like you don't care about me whenever Tiffany is
around," Jessica continued.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Thats what you get for having two girls at one time,
Jessica countered.
Taeyeon knew better than to bring the conversation that
way. Oh anyway I havent gotten a chance to ask you yet.
You bumped into my father? What happened?
Oh, I was on the way out of your room and heading down.
Before I could even get to the stairs, he caught me. He
started asking me questions and I answered them. We kind
of ended the conversation with him asking me to go over
more often.
He did? Taeyeon said quite taken aback by her fathers
reaction, That is quite unusual.
It is, but I guess Im just so adorable thats why, Jessica
joked.
You shouldnt come over to my place today, Taeyeon said
immediately.
But you promised me seven nights together, Jessica
whined.
I know I did. Lets just spend it on my Yacht, Taeyeon
suggested for fear that her father might inadvertently spill
the beans to Tiffany or Yuri.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
I was just saying. I love you and I dont think I can bear not
being with you, Taeyeon said from the bottom of her heart.
She also knew that she was dreading the day where she
broke up with Tiffany, but she didnt say it.
What if one day you found out that we can really get
reincarnated? Will you really stick with Tiffany and not break
up with her? I want an honest answer, Jessica probed.
Taeyeon gave serious thought to the question before she
answered Jessica.
Firstly, according to my beliefs, reincarnation is not
possible. Secondly, if reincarnation is possible I may stick
with Tiffany this lifetime since I already committed to her
before I did to you. Now dont get me wrong, its a matter of
principles, not that I love you any less. In fact, I love you
more. But for the rest of my infinite other lifetimes, Ill make
sure to spend it with you. Time after time, life after life.
There is no one else I want to be with. I love you that much.
Jessica looked at Taeyeon, she was unsure whether to be
mad at her or to be happy. She knew that Taeyeon meant
every word.
But reincarnation is not possible, so, know that my choice is
to stick with you. Like I said, I just need some time so that I
can do it properly. In the best case scenario, Yuri may even
be able to get together with Tiffany. Thats all I want, for
everyone I love to be happy.

was sitting at the corner of her bed, with her head tilted
towards the skylight.
"Why should I? Shouldn't I keep it on so someone will feel
bad whenever she sees the blood stain," Taeyeon said
cheekily.
"Don't be silly, I already feel bad as it is," Jessica said as
she conveniently picked a T-shirt out of Taeyeons wardrobe.
She walked to Taeyeon and held on to the ends of her
stained T-shirt. "Lift up your hands," Jessica instructed.
Taeyeon did so obediently as Jessica removed the stained
top. "
Jessica slipped the clean T-shirt over Taeyeon's head and
leaned forward for a kiss. The end of Taeyeon's lips turned
up into a smile as she felt Jessica's lips against hers.
"If only you could always be this sweet and gentle," Taeyeon
said with a crooked smile.
"I'm always like that if you don't get me upset or angry,"
Jessica responded as she crinkled her nose and rubbed it
gently against Taeyeons.
"Why were you so mad just now?" Taeyeon asked as she
slipped her arms around Jessica's waist and rested against
Jessica's tummy, "Did you not know that I love you?"
Taeyeon asked as she looked up at Jessica and puckered
her lips.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Well yeah, its true isnt it? Jessica said as she bit her
lower lip and wrinkled her nose at Taeyeon, We were
probably sleeping in the same nursery.
We probably were, Taeyeon said as she placed an arm
tenderly around Jessica and pulled her closer.
Halmeoni probably has some pictures of me in the nursery,
I shall go home and dig for it. Then Ill have proof that I met
you first, Jessica said and gave Taeyeon a playful smirk.
It doesnt matter does it? Im still going to end up with you,
Taeyeon said as she tucked Jessicas hair gently behind her
ears so that she could have a better look at her face.
Jessica kept a straight face, but the upward twitch of the
corner of her lips gave away how she truly felt.
Your mother is really beautiful, Jessica then said, quickly
changing the topic. Taeyeon smiled at her reaction once
again. As much as Jessica had a violent temper at times,
she had an innocent and cute personality as well.
Your mother is not wearing the necklace, Jessica said as
she pointed at the photograph.
She isnt? Taeyeon said in doubt as she took the
photograph out of Jessicas hands, I never noticed.
I thought she would wear it a lot since she treasured it, just
like what im doing now, Jessica said as she touched the
diamond star.

Taeyeon was walking towards the lecture theatre. As she
entered, she was surprised to see that Yuri wasnt seated
alone. Yoona sat right beside her and they were pretty
engrossed in their own conversation that they didnt notice
Taeyeon walk in.
What are you doing here? Taeyeon asked the moment she
was within earshot.
Yoona looked up at her, Cant you tell? Im crashing the
lecture.
Ok? Taeyeon said as she sat down beside Yuri. It was her
plan to start talking to Yuri about Tiffany but it was evidently
not going to happen now that Yoona was around.
Hows Taecyeon and Jessica doing? Yuri asked the
moment Taeyeon settled in her seat.
Not too good. Jessica refuses to get back with him,
Taeyeon said giving them a factual update.
Dont you think its ridiculous that she broke up with him
over such a trivial matter? Yoona said sounding quite
baffled at the entire matter.
Whatever it is, it is their problem. Lets stop poking our
noses into other peoples business, Taeyeon rebutted.

could get on with their lives and live happily ever after. That
was her wishful thinking since life rarely went the way
anyone wanted.
Now now, Taeyeon Sunbae is all complacent and confident
isnt she, Yoona added on, If shes this confident, I say you
shouldnt need to worry for her, Yoona said as she looked
over at Yuri.
Where should we go for lunch? Yoona asked as she
placed her free hand to her tummy, Im really hungry. The
other hand was still in Yuris.
Your girlfriend can decide, Taeyeon said, intentionally
emphasizing on their new found relationship. She was still
not quite sure how to be feeling towards the news. Just
then, Taeyeon felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
The couple started discussing where to eat as Taeyeon
whipped out her phone. It was a message from Jessica
asking her if she wanted to have lunch together.
Youre still here? I thought you left already. Taeyeon sent
her reply. She didnt expect Jessica to still be around.
Jessica had tagged along with Taeyeon in the morning since
she had some paperwork that still required submission.
Jessica and Taecyeon had applied to study in the same
school as Tiffany before they arrived.
I left, but im back. Ive got something to show you.
Taeyeon smiled at Jessicas reply. Jessica was just so
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Jessica agreed before Taeyeon could hint for her not to. The
girls were too quick.
Yuri turned to Taeyeon instinctively. She raised her
eyebrows to ask Taeyeon if she was ok with it. Taeyeon
responded with a blink and a slight nod.
Anyway were going for wraps, are you ok with that? Yuri
asked Jessica.
Yes I am, Jessica said as the four of them started walking.
Taeyeon was dreading the moment where Jessica realised
that Yoona and Yuri were holding hands. It was just
yesterday that she promised Jessica that shell speak to Yuri
so that she could be there for Tiffany. Now that Yoona was in
the picture, it would make everything much more
complicated to execute. Everything seemed to be spiraling
out of control.
Is Taecyeon Oppa going to study here too? Yoona asked
the moment she got the opportunity.
Yes, he is, Jessica answered.
I also heard that the both of you broke up? Yoona
continued.
We did, Jessica said openly. Taeyeon on the other hand
was more worried that Jessica may inadvertently reveal too
much.

"I'm sorry I should have asked, but these babies just look
soooo adorable," Yoona said as she looked at Jessica with
an apologetic pout.
"It's ok," Jessica said to Yoona, "those are just pictures of
when I was a new born."
"Ooooo," Yoona said as she looked at the second picture.
"Anyway I'm tucking in," Taeyeon said as she tore open the
white paper that sat around her wrap. Yuri did the same.
Is this you? Yoona asked as she pointed at a little baby
that was in the centre of the photograph.
Mmhmm, Jessica nodded as she undid the paper wrapped
around her food.
Youre so cuteeee, Yoona squealed as she fussed over the
photograph.
Yoona then flipped to the next photograph in the stack,
Wow there sure are many babies. When were you born
again? Yoona asked.
Ninth of April, Jessica said as she took a bite of her beef
wrap.
Oh you have the same birthday as Taeyeon, Yuri said
joining in the conversation, How old are you?
Twenty one, Jessica said without much thought.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
that Jessica was making friends with the baby beside her
took the entire situation to a whole new level.
Quit joking Kwon Yuri, Taeyeon finally said her first
sentence after she started eating.
Im not fooling around. Yoona show her the picture, Yuri
instructed.
Taeyeon felt a chill run down her spine when Yoona turned
the photograph around. It was really a picture of her. The
spooky part was that the other baby, which she was
assuming to be Jessica had her arms outstretched and so
did she.
Even though they were in separate cribs, it was clear that
they were looking at each other through the clear plastic that
separated them, with their arms stretched towards each
other. They connected at birth and that itself was out of this
world.
Woah. This is awesome, Yoona said as she looked at the
picture carefully.
I have to agree, Yuri said, seconding Yoonas statement.
You must totally tell Tiffany about it, Yoona said to
Taeyeon.
What for? Its no big deal is it, Taeyeon said as if she didnt
care at all.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Can I see the picture, Jessica said, asking Yoona for the
picture.
Yoona handed it over and then continued talking.
Remember how I was just saying the other day that all this
is one whole epic coincidence? You even said I was
ridiculous, Yoona said as she turned to face Yuri.
Taeyeon looked at Yoona with a clueless look on her face,
What are you talking about? You sound ridiculous now.
Remember when Taecyeon was at your place and your
father was showing us a video of my Taeyeon. Dont you
think that itself is already freaking cool. If you didnt meet
Tiffany, Taecyeon wouldnt ever get to see that clip. If
Jessica and Taecyeon werent an item, you would never
have met Jessica and you would never have known that the
both of you were born on the same day in the same
hospital, and were making friends as babies! Yoona said in
disbelief.
This is so epic. Its too cool. Look at the string of
connections, its all over the place! Yoona said feeling quite
hyped up about the entire matter.
And Taeyeon and your mot Yoona said and then
suddenly stopped talking as Yuri nudged her under the
table.
What? Taeyeon said as she furrowed her brows, What
about me and my what? Whatever youre saying is all over
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
food is getting cold, you should really eat it. It doesnt taste
as nice when it turns cold.
Oh yeah, im actually quite hungry, Jessica said as she put
the pictures aside and resumed her lunch.
Taeyeon caught Yuri giving a relieved smile when Jessica
took a bite of her beef wrap. Taeyeon knew that Yuri must
have thought that she had just prevented yet another
argument from happening. She felt bad that Yuri had to be
kept in the dark about her relationship with Jessica. Yuri was
always the first person to know anything and everything that
happened in her life.
Yuris eyes suddenly widened and Taeyeon trailed her line of
sight to see that Jessica had just stained the sweater with a
whole chunk of beef, beans and sauce from the wrap. It
must have oozed out from the wrap when Jessica bit down
on it.
Taeyeons first reaction was to want to wipe it off for Jessica.
She picked up a paper napkin and then realised that she
wasnt supposed to be helpful. Instead, she was supposed
to get mad.
Taeyeon thrusted the napkin at Jessica, You better wipe
that off. If the stain sets, youre in trouble. If I could wipe it
off myself, I would, since Id do a better job, but the sweater
is on you so you better do it properly, Taeyeon hinted.
Jessica then looked at Taeyeon, Ill let you wipe it for me,
show me how you do it. I dont think you can wipe it as well

"You mean like this?" Taeyeon said as she moved her head
and attempted to peek at the hand beneath the collar.
Jessica smacked Taeyeon lightly on the forehead, "What if
Yoona or Yuri walked in now."
"Yuri wouldn't," Taeyeon said confidently, "and I bet you
she's talking to Yoona now. Asking her to behave."
"Someone's so confident huh," Jessica said as she pinched
Taeyeon's cheeks gently.
I just know my best friend well enough, Taeyeon said with
a confident grin.
Seems like she doesnt know you too well.
Actually, she does. I dont think I can pull off arguing with
you later so please try not to take the necklace out ok? Im
sure Yuri would be able to see through that act.
Ill agree if you kiss me, Jessica said with a mischievous
smile.
Taeyeon shook her head, You forgot what we said last
night, about being careful.
So did you, Jessica said as she crinkled her nose, when
you watched your hand.
Taeyeon ignored Jessica and continued with her effort to rid
her sweater of the stain. She knew that Jessica was getting
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
upset with her silence and she smiled to herself. She was
having fun teasing Jessica.
Finally, all done, Taeyeon said as she tossed the napkin
into the bin. Jessica was still standing there and glaring at
her with both hands on her hip.
Great, the perfect expression to exit the bathroom with,
Taeyeon continued with her jokes.
Jessica walked over and was about to hit Taeyeon on the
arm when Taeyeon pushed forward for a quick kiss. There
you go. Now, remember to continue sulking, Taeyeon
smiled as she turned around and walked out of the ladies.
As Taeyeon walked out, she saw that her best friend was
indeed doing what Taeyeon expected her to be doing. Yuri
was really talking to Yoona and they stopped when they
noticed her.
Where is Jessica? Yuri asked as she saw Taeyeon return
to the table alone.
No idea, Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders, I just finished
cleaning the sweater and left. Whatever, shell come out.
Jessica is quite a pleasant girl, stop being so mean to her,
Yoona said, speaking up for Jessica.
Taeyeon was quite surprised at Yoonas sudden change in
attitude. Just a few hours ago, Yoona was saying that
Jessicas decision to break up with Taecyeon was ridiculous.

You dont have to feel bad, its not your fault, Taeyeon
blurted out.
Yoona turned to Taeyeon and looked at her in shock, Did
you just say something nice to me?
Im just saying its not your fault. Like Yuri said, if there
wasnt a problem to begin with, nothing would have broken
them apart, Taeyeon quickly said.
Ok, Yoona nodded at Taeyeon, But Im actually still
curious. If theres no one else, perhaps we can help the both
of them reconcile.
Jessicas back, Yuri said quickly. She assumed the role of
the lookout throughout lunch.
Jessica sauntered over, with Taeyeons sweater in hand.
Thank you, Jessica said as she handed Taeyeon the
sweater.
Taeyeon just took the sweater and put it on. Jessicas scent
lingered and it reminded Taeyeon of how they hugged each
other to sleep the night before. The memory brought a smile
to Taeyeons face.
Well you sure are happy to have gotten your sweater back,
Yoona commented, bringing unwanted attention to Taeyeon,
I dont ever see you smile like that.
She probably just thought of Tiffany, Yuri said, reading her
best friends expression.

Yuri bit on her lip, Taeyeon will never allow it. Its not that I
wouldnt ask. I know with certainty that she will not let you
on for sure.
Fine fine, Ill bring you there. Remember dont say a word
or Im screwed, Yuri said, finally conceding.
Yuri leaned back against the headboard and sighed, Its
sure isn't easy being your girlfriend.
Ok, and? Yuri said not quite getting where Yoona was
getting.
Yuri didnt say a word. She thought about it for a while and
then nodded, It seems like youre right. But how did you
know that Aunty Soo-yeon was actually in love with your
Super Taeyeon. For all you know she may have been with
Uncle Jonghyun and then started seeing Taeyeon behind
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
his back, and that was the day they decided to end the
relationship.
From all this, Yoona said as she lifted the book in her
hand, Just look at all the words behind the pictures, those
were written by her. Yoona then flipped to a random page of
the book and took out the photograph, quickly flipping it
around.
Yoona then read out what was written in blue ink, You give
me so much, but know that all I need and want is you. I'll
never be with anyone else.
The best friend that makes life so difficult for you? Youre
really a silly person, Yoona said as she returned the
photograph to the slot.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Yuri glanced over, "What about the neck Omo," she said
as she saw the pendant that she was so familiar with.
"Yes, it's the same necklace," Yoona said as she brought the
photograph closer.
"But I'm very sure it's the same necklace. So where's the
necklace? Is it with Taeyeon Sunbae?" Yoona continued
with her probing.
"Yes. We can ask to see it. She told me that she picked it up
at a pawn shop, but why would she have kept it away after I
saw it in the ladies? Something is definitely up," Yoona said,
thinking of the few other coincidences at the movie.
pawn shop. Doesn't that make sense?" Yuri spoke up for her
best friend in great confidence.
"They hate each other, we all know that," Yuri said as she
rolled her eyes at Yoona.

Yes I am, had lunch too. Are you ok? You sound quite tired,
are you still with Taecyeon?
Yes I am. I think I really need to meet Jessica and talk to
her soon, Tiffany said as she sighed, Shes not picking up
his calls or mine since this morning.
I see, well, Yoona, Yuri and I bumped into her at school and
we had lunch with her, Taeyeon told Tiffany as she glanced
at Jessica.
You should have told me and I would have gone down
immediately! Tiffany said as she raised her voice at
Taeyeon.
How am I supposed to know? You didnt tell me anything,
Taeyeon said in her own defense.
Im sorry, its just that I didnt get much sleep, Tiffany said
apologetically.
Jessica was just standing there, nibbling at the Hotteok as
she watched Taeyeon.
Have you had lunch yet? Taeyeon asked, expressing her
concern and indirectly showing that she accepted Tiffanys
apology.
Actually I havent and Taecyeon has no mood to eat. I
actually called to see if you could pop by with some food for
us, Tiffany said sheepishly, and I miss you too.

Taeyeon made her way to the lift and ran for the lift just as
the doors were closing. She pushed the button and
managed to stop the lift in time. The lift doors opened to
reveal her Grandfather.
Oh, Taeyeon ah, what are you doing here? Soo-jung is
out, her Grandfather said to her as she entered the lift.
Im here to look for my friends, Taeyeon said to her
Grandfather. Taeyeon was never very close to her mothers
father. There was just no affinity between the two.
I see, her Grandfather responded, are the two of them
dating?
No theyre not, Taeyeon replied.
I see, I thought they were because the girl didnt go home
last night, Taeyeons Grandfather revealed, unaware that
Tiffany was actually Taeyeons girlfriend.
Theyre just really close friends. Taecyeons girlfriend broke
up with him yesterday, Taeyeon explained to her
Grandfather. Even though she appeared like she didnt
really care, deep inside she was feeling a little sour that
Tiffany did not tell her that she stayed over.
Have you had lunch yet? Taeyeons Grandfather asked her
as the lift arrived on the right floor.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Yes I have, Taeyeon said as she stepped out of the lift with
her Grandfather and continued with their meaningless
conversation.
Ok, thats good, her Grandfather said as he unlocked the
doors.
Taeyeon then walked in and towards Taecyeons room
immediately. She then knocked.
It took a while before the door was pulled opened by Tiffany.
Taetae youre here, Tiffany said as she stood in the
doorway.
Hi Taecyeon, Taeyeon said as she greeted him. He was
laying in bed looking listless. Taeyeon saw that his eyelids
were swollen when he turned to nod at her.
Tiffany then walked out of the room and shut the door
behind her.
Sit down, Ill do it for you, Taeyeon said to Tiffany who had
considerably darker eye circles since the last time she saw
her.
Taeyeon entered the kitchen and returned with the food in
under a few minutes.
The moment the food was placed in front of Tiffany, she
started eating heartily. She was really hungry it seemed.
Hows Taecyeon? Taeyeon asked.

Did the both of you just come from the cafe? I sure feel like
having a brew of Earl Grey first, Taeyeon quickly made up a
random excuse.
Actually, we did, Yuri responded.
Oh, but. I really want to get some tea. Can we go please,
together? Taeyeon repeated herself once more. She was
rarely this polite, but she knew that Yoona was more inclined
to give in if she were. Desperate times called for desperate
measures.
Yuri and Yoona exchanged a brief look before Yuri replied, I
can get the tea for you. You should just go on ahead with
Yoona.
Seriously? Taeyeon said as she showed Yuri a look of
disbelief.
Yes, Ill get it, Yuri reiterated, showing that she was not
kidding.
Taeyeon started protesting, But tea tastes better brewed in
a pot and
Well then I can get the tea leaves and we can brew it in
your pot, Yuri interrupted, clearly implying that Taeyeon had
a pot somewhere, waiting for her.
Taeyeons heart rate spiked. If Yuri had started explicitly
talking about her Yacht, there was a high chance that
Yoonas visit was inevitable. On normal days, that would

couple. Why did they split up, Yoona sighed, They love
each other so much. Aunt Soo-yeon loved her so much she
named her kid Taeyeon. Do you think the pregnancy was an
accident? Do you think she didnt love Uncle Jonghyun?
I wouldnt know all that, but the fact that theyre no longer
with us means that well never know the answer since we
can never hear it from them. Uncle Jonghyun may or may
not know but then it would be inappropriate to even ask him
about it. So, Im Yoona, you better just be happy exploring
the contents of the book and setting foot on the Yacht.
Yes Madam! Yoona said as she did a salute to Yuri.
A couple of minutes later, they arrived in the vicinity of the
Yacht. Yoona ah, just hang around here, Ill go to the Yacht
alone first, Yuri said. She was being quite careful since she
didnt know where Taeyeon was.
Moments later, Yuri sneaked onto the Yacht. It seemed fairly
peaceful, with no sign of activity. Yuri tried the handle, it was
locked.
Yuri returned to Yoona and then brought her back to
Taeyeons Yacht. When they arrived in front of the Yacht,
Yoona let out a cry of disbelief, I am here, this is so
surreal.
Indeed, I cant believe I brought you here, Yuri added.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
When they arrived at the cafe, Yoona and Yuri waited for
someone to direct them to a table. As they stood there,
Yoona suddenly nudged Yuri, Isnt that Jessica? Yoona
said as she pointed to the open air deck just behind the
cafe.
*End of Flashback*
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
By the way, which pawn shop did you get the necklace
from? Yoona continued with her informal, self-proclaimed
interrogation, I should really go there and see if I can get a
steal like you did. How much did you spend on it by the
way? Yoona asked with certainty that Jessica was going to
have difficulty giving her the details.
Hmmm, you know what? I dont remember the name of the
pawn shop. I was just walking and then I decided to step
inside, Jessica responded, Anyway I really need to go to
the toilet. Ill be right back. Yoona watched as Jessica
walked away briskly.
Yuri then returned to her side, Youve got ten more minutes
to do your thing. So anyway, whatve you got so far?
For one, Ive just asked her about the pawn shop and the
price of the necklace. She couldnt answer me. She claims
that she cant remember. Its really likely that she didnt get it
herself, Yoona said as she pinched her lower lip.
I swear Im right. There is no reason for her to appear here
out of the blue and get so nervous when I mention Taeyeon
Sunbae, Yoona said as she analysed the situation.
Perhaps it really is a coincidence and she really cant
remember? Yuri said, giving Jessica the benefit of the
doubt.
So, are you in denial now? Why do I have this strong
feeling that you are reluctant to face the truth of the matter?

*Flashback*
Taeyeon had just heard from Jessica that she was at the
cafe, and that Yoona and Yuri were approaching her.
Taeyeon hated that it was she who sent the girls towards
Jessica.
It took Taeyeon two second of silence before she responded
to Jessica. Ok Jessica Jung, I need you to just pretend that
you dont know anything about my Yacht and youre just
there at the cafe because someone recommended for you
to try out whatever it is that youre having right now. We
should be fine if you pull that off.
But, your father is with me right now. Ive been trying to get
you all day to tell you that. Did you not read your
messages? Jessica said sounding anxious.
I didnt have time to. You know what, just keep up with your
best poker face. You dont have to let them know youre with
my dad. Just tell them that youre done eating and youre
about to leave. Ill call my dad now and tell him not to
mention even knowing you. It seems like Ill have trouble
explaining things to him later, but whatever it is, this is the
only way out, Taeyeon said as her mind worked quickly.
Ok. It seems like were not left with much choice anyway,
Jessica said as she hung up.
Taeyeon called her father immediately. It didnt take him too
long to pick up the phone too.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
He was always doing things for her, but it never really felt
like he was doing it out of love. It felt more like he was doing
it out of responsibility more than anything else.
*End of Flashback*
The moment Yuri hung up, Taeyeon spoke up. About
Jessica, Taeyeon said and then paused. As much as she
was about to confess, she was still having trouble finding
the right words.
About Jessica, Taeyeon repeated, I...
*Flashback*
Yuri looked in the direction where Yoona was pointing and
she saw Uncle Jonghyun instead of Jessica. She was about
to make a comment about Yoona having seen wrongly when
she realised that Jessica was indeed there, seated across
from Uncle Jonghyun.
Yuri blinked a couple of times. She didnt think that what she
saw was real.
Uncle Jonghyun, Yoona then whispered, as if she was
afraid that the pair seated at the open air deck would hear
her.
Would you like to sit outdoors? The waitress asked,
garnering an instant no from Yoona.
Well sit there, Yoona said as she quickly pointed at a table
in a dark corner of the cafe. It gave them an advantage
since they would pretty much have a clear view of Jessica
and Uncle Jonghyun, and yet at the same time wouldnt be
easily spotted due to the low lighting.
Yuri was still frowning and trying to make sense of the
situation. In her memory, Uncle Jonghyun and Jessica never
met. Jessica was the only person that was not at the house
when Uncle Jonghyun showed them the clip of the demised
Taeyeon.

Little did Taeyeon know how much truth there was in the lie
that she had just spun.
What are you talking about, youre sending chills down my
spine, Yuri said as she shivered.
Why do you ask anyway? Did you see the necklace on
Jessica? Taeyeon asked, setting a trap for Yuri. She knew
that Yuri could not have seen it on Jessica and she wanted
to test if Yuri was hiding anything.
I No, I didnt. I just put two and two together, Yuri said in
response. Taeyeon knew that look on Yuris face. If felt like
something was up.
What do you mean? Taeyeon pushed on. From what she
had heard from Jessica in the afternoon, Yoona was clearly
the one that recognised the necklace, but how? That was
what Taeyeon wanted to know.
Yoona talked about the necklace during lunch and said that
it might have been from the person Jessica was seeing and
you happened to have lost a necklace so I thought maybe
its the same one.
Where is the link in that? Doesnt that sound more like Im
the one cheating with Jessica, Taeyeon said, making a bold
remark in a bid to make her best friend spit out the truth.
II, that is why I thought to ask you, because I just had a
thought that it could have been the same one. I dont know
for sure and I just had a feeling. Maybe your dad took it
Author : Yongel

You were a little weird at lunch, just a little, and that made
me doubt. But now I understand why, Yuri said as she
placed an arm around Taeyeons shoulder. It was all for
your father wasnt it?
Taeyeon couldnt make out whether or not to be glad that
her father had been spotted with Jessica at the cafe. To
think that she thought that Yuri was clueless all this while.
She never expected that Yuri and Yoona had caught on so
quickly.
What would you have done if you hadnt seen Jessica and
my father at the cafe today? Taeyeon questioned. You
would have thought that I was with Jessica?
Yuri frowned. To tell you the truth, even though I keep
standing up for you in front of Yoona, I was beginning to
have my doubts like I mentioned. I would have asked you
about it eventually.
You would? And what if you found out that Jessica and I
had something going on? Taeyeon asked. She wanted to
know how her best friend would react, Would you have told
Tiffany?
No. I wouldnt tell Tiffany. Taeyeon eased up when she
heard what Yuri said to her, but the next sentence caused
her body to tense almost instantly.
But I dont think that Ill ever be able to forgive you for doing
such a thing to Tiffany.

Anyway, you seem a little out of sorts today, are you ok?
Yoona asked, the concern in her voice clearly evident.
IIm ok, Yuri said trying to hide how she was really
feeling. Just hours ago, Tiffany was holding on to her so
tightly and it killed her. Yuri wanted so much to have Tiffany
for her own, but she knew that Tiffany and Taeyeon were
very much in love. She felt absolutely rotten that she wanted
her best friends girlfriend.
Even though Yuri fell for Tiffany at first sight, she didnt tell
Taeyeon, neither did she make a move. If she did, Taeyeon
would never have gotten with Tiffany. And even if she did
make a move, things would possibly still not go her way
since Tiffany was attracted to her best friend and not her.
Yuri recalled the moment where Taeyeon walked into the
cinema earlier on. Tiffany released her immediately and held
on to Taeyeon for dear life. It was painful, but at the same
time she was relieved and glad that Taeyeon appeared. The
longer Tiffany held on to her, the more she wanted the girl.
Yuri did not want to do anything to harm her friendship with
both Tiffany and Taeyeon. She had been feeling
uncomfortable ever since the conversation that occurred in
Taeyeons car just the other day.
Lets go for ice cream? Yoona suddenly suggested, It has
been such a bad day, lets do something happy.
Ok, Yuri responded, but her mind was still filled with
thoughts of Tiffany and Taeyeon.

Yoona hooked Yuris arm and led her towards the ice cream
parlor across the street. Yuri just followed.
When they arrived at the ice cream parlor, Yoona started
asking Yuri what she wanted to have. Yuri asked for Yoona
to decide for her since she was still feeling quite down from
all that happened earlier.
Ok, you take a seat, Ill go and order, Yoona said as she
motioned for Yuri to sit at one of the tables.
Yuri sat down and started spacing out once again. Yuri
touched her left shoulder. Hours ago, Tiffany had her hands
in that same spot, and Yuri could still remember the warmth
of Tiffanys touch. Yuri then recalled how Taeyeon walked in
and how afraid she was to look her friend in the eye. Guilt
overwhelmed her.
Yuri sighed.
Here, the ice cream is really good, Yoona said as she held
out a cup to Yuri.
Thanks, Yuri said, wearing a weak smile as she took the
cup of ice cream from Yoona.
You know something? After seeing all that happened today,
Im quite glad im single, Yoona said just before she placed
a big spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. Mmmm,
heavenly.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Yuri poked at the ice cream, her mind wandering off once
more. I should never have such thoughts about my best
friends girlfriend ever again. I hope she isnt upset that
Tiffany was hugging me.
Do you not like the ice cream? Yoona questioned, bringing
Yuri back from her thoughts.
Oh no, I like it, Yuri said almost immediately.
But you havent even tasted it, Yoona frowned. Something
is bothering you. What is it?
Yuri shook her head and then started eating the ice cream.
Its really good.
I know it is, but you dont seem to be enjoying it. Youve
been weird since the movie, Yoona pursed her lips and
frowned.
Im not. All that drama is just madness, I dont want any part
of that, Yuri said quickly.
Whoever said you were part of it? There is no way you can
be part of it. Unless you like one of them? Yoona raised her
right brow and looked at Yuri.
Dont be silly, Yuri said as she gave off a nervous laugh.
Yoona dug into her ice cream and took yet another huge
spoonful. Mmm. Who could it be.

Yoona sat back down on the bed and kept quiet. She was
thinking hard.
Please? Yuri continued with her pleading.
Yoona sighed. Fine. Only if you promise to do the following.
Let Taeyeon Sunbae do her job as Tiffany Unnies girlfriend.
Stop interfering so much. Can you promise me that?
Ok, I will, Yuri said immediately.
Oh and help me with my conquest to gather as much
information as I possibly can and want about my Super
Taeyeon, Yoona said with a mischievous grin.
Fine, fine, Yuri said unwillingly.
Youve got yourself a pseudo girlfriend, Yoona smiled
sweetly as she said that.
*End of Flashback*
And your tea, Jessica said holding out the cup to Taeyeon.
Thanks, Taeyeon said as she took the bag of fries from
Yoona and the cup of tea from Jessica. Taeyeons fingers
brushed gently against Jessicas when she took the cup.
The both were feeling conscious about it. Their guilty
conscience was at work, and it was working hard.
The four of them stood there in silence thereafter. It was a
situation where everyone had something to hide and nobody
knew exactly what to say.
Yoona and Yuri exchanged a brief look and so did Jessica
and Taeyeon. If anyone said one wrong thing now, their lie
would be exposed. It was all the more difficult since nobody
knew what the other pair talked about. Yoona and Yuri were
hiding the truth about the Yacht, Taeyeons mother and the
deceased Taeyeon, whereas Jessica and Taeyeon were
lying about Jessicas relationship with Jonghyun. If they had
wanted to survive the lie, all they could rely on now was
their chemistry.
So, about the Yacht that I like, Yoona initiated, Ill show it
to all of you. It was quite the irony since every single one of
them knew that the Yacht belonged to Taeyeon, and the only
person that hasnt been in it was the one who was going to
show it to them.
Yoona walked ahead and Jessica walked on beside her.
Taeyeon and Yuri trailed behind. Yuri then turned to Taeyeon
and gave her a look that said its your Yacht, your choice.

But your reaction just now? When I said that Yuri was going
to tell someone, why did you look so worried? Yoona
started with her usual questioning.
Taeyeon came to her rescue once again. She probably
thought that Yuri was going to tell Tiffany. Tiffany suspects
that Jessica is seeing someone else. In fact, I just met
Tiffany and she chided me for not telling her that we had
lunch with Jessica. Which reminds me, can everyone here
please keep this a secret from Tiffany? This entire situation,
its complicated, Taeyeon said as she looked at Yoona.
I already promised Jessica earlier not to tell anyone,
Yoona said with an innocent shrug. Im just surprised that
you knew.
How can I not know, Taeyeon said.
So the both of you, youre ok with each other? Yoona said
directly.
We are, Taeyeon said before Jessica said the same thing.
Yes, we are.
Now, for the bedroom, Taeyeon said breaking away from
the conversation. She walked towards the master cabin and
pulled the door open.
Yoona followed behind and as she entered she turned to
look at Yuri, Its neat and tidy, Yoona said sounding slightly
taken aback.

She stopped in her tracks when she saw her mothers face
staring back at her. Taeyeon touched the picture gently, My
mother? Does this book not belong to Taeyeon? Taeyeon
asked her two friends.
Whats going on? Jessica asked feeling a little lost.
Youll see, Yoona said as she let go of Yuris hands and
walked towards Taeyeon.
This book, its Taeyeons book. Read here, Yoona said as
she pointed to the words written by the deceased Taeyeon.
The best things happen by accident, thats what my Super
Taeyeon wrote. Shes trying to say that the best thing that
ever happened to her was your mother, Yoona said
disregarding Taeyeons feelings. Yoona then took the
photograph out of its slot, Look behind. Your mother wrote
this in response, my love, this is no accident, I am your
destiny.
They were an item? Taeyeon said as she sat down on
the couch. Her face was pale and she seemed to be in
complete disbelief.
You wanted to see it, so face it. Your mother was in love
with Taeyeon. She was in love with her up till the very end.
She never stopped loving her. Just look at all this pictures
and every single thing that they ever said to each other. This
book is proof of their love. Every bit of it is proof of their
love, Yoona said as she flipped through the pages one by
one as she spoke.

Look, this one was when they were in New Zealand. Their
relationship started there, Yoona started giving a live
commentary because she had already looked through the
book of photos multiple times.
Taeyeon kept quiet and continued flipping through the
pages. She flipped through the entire book at random,
skipping some pages since there were quite a lot of
pictures. The more she looked the more she could see how
in love they were.
Yoona continued with her commentary and went on and on
to her audience of three.
Taeyeon was finally at the last page. This is where Taeyeon
said goodbye, Yoona said as she leaned back, her eyes
slightly red. They said goodbye on this Yacht. By this time,
Jessicas eyes were red too.
Taeyeon shut the book and placed it on the coffee table.
That was the end of them, it was all just a fleeting memory.
My mother stopped loving her. She loved my father after
that. Its good that I caught a glimpse into my mothers life.
No she didnt. Your mother never stopped loving Taeyeon,
Yoona said, negating Taeyeons words.
Yoona you have talked enough tonight, Yuri quickly said in
an attempt to stop Yoona from continuing.

The Yacht was bobbing gently to the waves. It was quiet and
the skies were filled with thousands of stars. Taeyeon was
seated at the helm with Jessica seated in between her legs.
Both the girls were petite and they had no trouble fitting
comfortably on the seat.
Jessica had her back against Taeyeon as Taeyeon rested
her chin on Jessicas shoulders. Taeyeon had her arms
around Jessicas waist as both their feet dangled off the
chair. Jessica looked up at the sky as she spoke, I love it
every time the both of us are out at sea. It feels like theres
no one else on earth but us, said Jessica as she toyed with
Taeyeons fingers.
If only we could just sail away and live out at sea for the
rest of our lives, Taeyeon said with a doleful expression.
But not on this yacht, Taeyeon added.
Youre still upset at your mother? Jessica asked as she
brought Taeyeons hands to her lips and pressed her lips
against Taeyeons fingers tenderly.
I cant believe she had me and even named me after her.
She should have just gotten rid of me instead of giving birth
to me and causing me all this pain. Taeyeon gritted her
teeth in anger.
Taeyeon ah, dont be this way. What would I do if you didnt
exist, Jessica said as she nibbled at Taeyeons fingers.

You know how Yoona is, dont be so mad at her. After all
both of you are now an item. You should learn how to
communicate and work things out together, Tiffany advised.
Yuri let out a long sigh. Dont worry about Yoona and I. It
seems like Taeyeon is feeling quite depressed. You know
what Yoona actually said? She told Taeyeon that Aunt Sooyeon named her after Taeyeon because she never stopped
loving her. She said that the fact that Aunt Soo-yeon wore
the necklace that Taeyeon gave her to her deathbed meant
that she never stopped loving her. You know what Yoona did
there? She killed Taeyeon, Yuri said sounding agitated
once again.
What necklace? You mean the one Taetae lost? Tiffany
asked. She was clearly lost because there was a lot she
didnt know.
Yes, its that necklace. It was from Taeyeon, not Uncle
Jonghyun, Yuri revealed.
Aunt Soo-yeon named Taetae after Taeyeon? Her ex lover.
She doesnt love Uncle Jonghyun? Taetae must feel so
upset. Maybe I should just wait by the dock. Wait for her to
return, Tiffany said with a great deal of worry displayed on
her face.
Shell be in touch again once shes back. Dont worry. I
have seen her disappear enough times to know, Yuri said
as she glanced at her phone when it vibrated.

needed in her life now, was Jessica. She didnt care what
her mother did or had done. Her mother is dead, and will
remain dead.
Taeyeon felt Jessica sucking gently on her lower lip and she
smiled. Sleep, Taeyeon commanded, even though she
didnt mind what Jessica was doing.
I love you, Jessicas warm breath caressing Taeyeons lips
as she whispered.
Taeyeon couldnt help it but smile once again. Im your
Taeyeon, and youre my Jessica.
Jessica giggled yet again as she closed the gap between
their lips. Ok, Im getting up. If you want to sleep, you can
continue sleeping, Jessica said as she got out of bed, Im
going to take a shower.
Jessica took off her clothing and tossed it aside before
heading to the shower.
Taeyeon laid on her back and thought of the things Jessica
had said to her the night before. At least now you know why
your father is the way he is, its not too late to work things
out and start loving each other properly isnt it? What
matters is what we can do now, not what happened before.
It was a fairly emotional night and Taeyeon released all her
anger, pain and sadness. She let it all out as Jessica stayed
by her side and showered her with love, care and affection.
Jessica was very gentle and understanding and Taeyeon
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
would never have gotten to see that side of her if not for
whatever happened. The thought of Jessicas actions from
the night before brought a smile to Taeyeons face.
Taeyeon climbed out of bed and dragged herself to the
kitchen. All she wanted to do now was to make Jessica
some breakfast. She thought of the food Jessica made the
other day and she started laughing to herself. Jessica was
really bad at cooking, but it didnt matter. What mattered
was that Taeyeon could cook for her for the rest of their life.
Taeyeon opened the refrigerator and took out the milk, eggs
and bacon. She then opened the cabinet and took out some
instant pancake mix. She had gotten all that while she was
grocery shopping because she knew that Jessica missed
the food in America. Taeyeon started preparing everything
quickly and within minutes, the smell of food filled the Yacht.
Whats cooking? It smells so good, Jessica said as she
emerged from the deck below.
Are you that hungry? You didnt even dry your hair
properly, Taeyeon said as she turned her head and saw
water dripping from Jessicas hair. Youre just in time
though, Taeyeon said as she dished the scrambled eggs.
The pancakes and bacon were already plated.
Jessica walked over and picked up a piece of bacon and
took a bite. Jessica gave off a satisfied smile as she looked
at Taeyeon.

You can come along if you want. We can both have dinner
with my Aunt, Taeyeon suggested. She appeared calm on
the outside, but she was struggling with the increased
hatred she felt about cheating.
Are you sure? Jessica asked with a look of uncertainty. It
was almost as if she was worried that Taeyeons Aunt would
not approve of their relationship.
Yes. My Aunt, she knows about us and she doesnt seem to
object, said Taeyeon as she held Jessicas hand and gave
it a gentle squeeze.
What about your father? It seems like we have to come
clean and tell him everything, Jessica asked as she placed
her other hand on the hand that was on hers.
We will, Taeyeon nodded. I will end things with Tiffany
very soon. You are the one for me. I wont be with anyone
else but you. I was stupid previously. I was being an ass. I
cant love two people at one time. Its wrong, Taeyeon said,
determined not to be like her mother.
Are you sure youre ready for that? You kept telling me that
you needed more time. Its ok, you can take your time to do
it. What matters is that you are ready for it, Jessica said,
her words contrary to what she had been saying the past
few days. Jessica was concerned that Taeyeon was pushing
herself too hard just because she didnt want to be like her
mother.

Did my mother really name me after her? Did she not love
my father at all? Taeyeon became more liberal with her
questions now that the truth of the matter was out in the
open.
Taeyeon ah, you dont know the full story so dont jump to
conclusions about your mother or anyone at all, Soo-jung
said, chiding her niece.
Then tell me, Taeyeon said defiantly.
You should stop thinking about things that happened in the
past, focus on the present, Soo-jung stole a glance at
Jessica when she said that. Know that what matters is now,
why focus on matters that happened before your current
lifetime. Whats the point?
I just want to know why did my mother still get with my
father? Why did she have me? Why did she have to name
me after Taeyeon? Why did she have to be so irresponsible
and be with my dad when she loved someone else and be
so blatant about it? Taeyeon rattled on, question after
question, her agitation apparent.
Its complicated and whats past is past, Soo-jung
reiterated. Just know that your mother, Taeyeon, your
father, they were all innocent parties who were suffering at
the hands of Fate. The three of them were not to be blamed
for whatever happened. Lets just say that all of them just
happened to fall in love with the wrong person, Soo-jung
sighed.

From the last picture in the book of photos, it was clear that
the two bore deep feelings for each other. Yet, Soo-yeon
married Jonghyun! That was someone that she supposedly
didnt love.
Jessica stood around, not daring to sit. She couldnt sit on
the bed and she didnt know if she should sit on the study
chair. Instead, she walked to the corner of the room and
stared out of the window into the backyard.
All of a sudden, the light in the backyard was turned on.
Startled, Jessica saw three figures walking out onto the lit
grass patch. It was Tiffany, Yuri and Taeyeon. Tiffany and
Yuri must have been worried about Taeyeon, she surmised.
Tiffany did look like she was worried sick. In fact, she looked
drained. Just at that moment, Tiffany turned and glanced in
Jessicas direction. Jessica ducked quickly, adrenaline
rushing through her veins. Did she see me? For a split
second, she thought Tiffany might have seen her. Her heart
was beating furiously, but before she could calm down, the
door opened suddenly. She almost cried out in shock.
It was Jonghyun.
What are you doing? He asked curiously at the strange
sight in front of him. Jessica was huddled under his window.
She smiled sheepishly and waddled towards him like a
duck. I was standing by the window and I thought I saw
Tiffany look up, she admitted.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
A smile broke out on his face. Jessica could see the boyish
charm he possessed beneath his weathered face. Just then,
they were both distracted by a clink. There was a glimmer of
metal beside Jessicas feet, it was the necklace that
Taeyeon gave her. Of all times, it had to fall out in front of
Jonghyun now! She gave an inward grimace as she
hurriedly stuffed it back into her pocket.
Taeyeon, she gave that to you? Jonghyun muttered in a
barely audible voice. Jessica quickly stood up, avoiding the
window as she did.
Yes, Jessica responded, keeping her reply as short as
possible, praying that he wouldnt continue.
It belonged to Soo-yeon, Jonghyun said to Jessica as he
glanced out of the window and drew the curtains. The room
became considerably darker. You should put it on, so you
dont lose it, Jonghyun said with a quiet sense of despair.
Its ok, Ill put it on later, Jessica said in a considerate
manner. She didnt want him to look at the necklace and get
reminded of his wifes love for someone else.
I can put it on for you if you need help, Jonghyun offered.
Jessica was surprised, it was almost as if he didnt mind
seeing it.
Its really ok, I dont think I should wear it, Jessica
declined. She still didnt think it was a good idea.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Well, why are you standing in the middle of the room? Take
a seat, Jonghyun gestured in the direction of his bed. Even
though Jessica was standing nearer to the bed, she walked
towards the study chair that was about ten steps away.
You must have a lot of questions for me, go ahead and ask
them if you must, Jonghyun said bluntly as he sat on his
bed.
Jessica was surprised at how direct he was. It was true, she
had many questions for him, but she had to tread carefully.
What do you know? Jessica asked cautiously. She didnt
want to inadvertently reveal things that he didnt know.
I know that Taeyeon is seeing Tiffany, and I know that
nobody knows whatever it is that is going on between you
and Taeyeon, said Jonghyun. I figured something was
going on when I caught you sneaking out of my house, he
explained.
Thank you for helping us out, Jessica said gratefully.
Contemplating, she decided to take a leap.
Can you do me a favour? Jessica asked sincerely.
Taeyeon has always felt that there is a distance between
the two of you, and that sometimes, it may be that you dont
love her very much. Is it because she reminds you of your
wifes love for someone else? She rattled on before her
sense of decorum could stop her.

with her fingers. Ok, Tiffany said with a sniffle. Ill come
clean soon enough, Taeyeon thought to herself as the both
of them walked into the house, one more night wont kill.
The both of them went up the stairs and headed for
Taeyeons room. All this time, all Taeyeon could think of was
how to explain the situation to Jessica. Jessica was now
stuck in her fathers room and there was no way Taeyeon
could sneak Jessica out unless Tiffany was distracted or
asleep.
Taeyeon decided to try her luck. Have you showered yet?
Taeyeon asked Tiffany as they entered her room. Taeyeon
was hoping that she hasnt, but Tiffany nodded, to her
disappointment. Have you? Tiffany returned the question.
I havent, Taeyeon said as she stood by her door.
Dont you want to? Shower quickly and come to bed with
me, Tiffany said as she grabbed Taeyeons towel that was
hanging behind her door and handed it to her girlfriend. Ill
do so now, Taeyeon said as she walked towards the
bathroom, her mind still pre-occupied with the fact that
Jessica was still stuck in her fathers room.
***
Im sorry about the random episode I had out there,
Jonghyun said apologetically, I was just overwhelmed by
memories of the past.
Its ok. You should cry if it hurts. It helps with the healing,
Jessica said as she hovered near the bed where Jonghyun

Jessica, she fell asleep waiting for you. She didnt want to
go home until you told her personally that Tiffany was
staying over, Jonghyun explained to his daughter.
I see, I should wake her up, Taeyeon said as she walked
towards the bed. Was my father watching her sleep?
No, its fine, let her sleep. Im going out and I wont be
home for the rest of the night, Jonghyun said to his
daughter as he stood up and got his overcoat.
Are you sure? Taeyeon said in doubt. Her father rarely
spent the night out ever since he retired being an
investigator.
Jonghyun nodded. Yes. By the way, Jessica told me
everything. I know that youre with Tiffany too. Do the right
thing, pick the right girl, Jonghyun said as he gave his
daughter a sudden hug. Taeyeon was left speechless. This
was the first and only hug she got from her father. I guess
youre meant to be, always have been. Love her well,
Jonghyun said, his voice cracking slightly towards the end.
Jonghyun then left his room and shut the door behind him,
leaving Taeyeon and Jessica alone in his room.
Taeyeon was overwhelmed by the hug. She was also
confused at the apparent resonance of sorrow in her fathers
voice. Taeyeon walked towards her fathers bed. Jessica
was sleeping soundly, The Solitaire Mystery placed neatly
by the bed. The sight of that book irked her, it reminded her
of its owner.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Taeyeon then left her room and went to her fathers room.
She locked the door as she entered and slipped into bed
beside Jessica, holding her close as she did. Jessica
snuggled up to her and held the hand that was around her
waist. Taeyeon was more at ease with Jessica beside her,
she didnt know why but Jessica had that effect on her.
***
Taeyeon felt someone shaking her gently. She opened her
eyes and saw two beautiful round eyes staring back at her.
Good Morning, Jessicas sweet voice filled her ears.
Taeyeon smiled sleepily and then shut her eyes, Good
Morning, she responded.
Arent you supposed to be in bed with Tiffany, why are you
here? Jessica questioned. I had a nightmare, Taeyeon
confessed. The memory of the weird dream gave her
goosebumps.
What about? Jessica asked, concerned. I dreamt of my
mother, and Taeyeon, Taeyeon admitted, conveniently
leaving out the part where she was Taeyeon. She then felt a
cold hand on her cheek, Poor thing. Stop thinking about
that ok? Its nobodys fault that happened and nobody can
change things. Lets work on being happy. She felt
Jessicas lips against hers in that moment. Ok, Taeyeon
responded, her words muffled by the kiss that progressed.
Dawn was breaking and Taeyeon could hear the sound of
birds chirping as she felt a warm tongue enter her mouth,
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
just want to spend the rest of the day with you, Tiffany said
as she pulled apart slightly, the warmth from her kiss still
lingering on Taeyeons lips.
The room fell silent. Taeyeon was unsure how to react. All
she felt in that moment was the overwhelming sense of guilt
that was gnawing away at her conscience.
***
Taeyeon was in the car with Tiffany. She had somehow
managed to convince Tiffany to go for classes and she was
sending Tiffany back to get her stuff for school.
Will you go to class with me? Tiffany requested as they
pulled to a stop along the road in front of Tiffanys place.
I have to return the car after this, I dont think I can,
Taeyeon lied. She felt terrible inside.
Ok, Tiffany said in disappointment. The both of them
headed up to the apartment together, not speaking much.
When they arrived, Tiffany opened the door, the strong smell
of beer wafted through the air. Phew, has Uncle Kang-in
been drinking or what, Taeyeon commented as she
stepped through the door. I dont know. He wasnt when I
left the house last night, Tiffany said as she shut the door.
Taeyeon was surprised to see that her father was sprawled
across the couch, Uncle Kang-in on the other. The coffee
table and the area around the couch was filled with cans of
beer. Taeyeon did a quick sweep with her eyes and

After Taeyeon entered the house, she returned the car keys
to its original position.
She was about to go up the stairs and return to her room
when her Grandfather entered through the sliding door that
led to the backyard. He was dressed in the attire that he
usually wore when he tended the garden out back. Good
Morning Grandpa, Taeyeon greeted. Instead of continuing
up the stairs, Taeyeon changed her course and headed for
the kitchen instead. Would you like some tea? she asked
her Grandfather.
Yes please, her Grandfather said as he removed the pair
of gloves he wore. Taeyeon proceeded to brew them both
some brown rice tea. It was her Grandfathers favorite tea.
Once she was done, she brought the tea out to the
backyard where her Grandfather was seated.
What is it that is bothering you? Her Grandfather asked the
moment she sat down. Nothing much, Taeyeon said as
she sipped her own cup of tea. Her Grandfather kept quiet
and enjoyed his own cup of tea.
Do you have any regrets in life? Taeyeon asked after a
while. I do, but there isnt a point to harp on things that
happened in the past, Taeyeons Grandfather said with
profound wisdom.
Does my father have any regrets in life? Taeyeon
continued, finally revealing the purpose of her little tea
session.

Taeyeon jolted awake. She was plagued with a similar
nightmare to the one she had the night before. The only
difference was the setting. This one took place near her
Aunts place, at the park. It was dark and late at night. Her
father appeared in this dream too. She was actually the one
with her mother, but moments later her father came and
took her place. This dream actually felt painful and Taeyeon
was on the brink of tears when she woke up.
"What's the matter?" Jessica asked tenderly. Taeyeon felt
Jessicas smooth hands against her arm. Taeyeon just held
on to her hands and snuggled up to her without saying a
word. Bad dream again huh, Jessica said as she kissed
Taeyeon gently on the forehead. Taeyeon nodded.
Dont worry, it is all but a dream. Do you want to get some
lunch? Its already noon, Jessica said as she gently rubbed
Taeyeons shoulders.
Lets just cook noodles, I dont feel like going out, Taeyeon
said moodily.
Ill cook for you, tell me where you keep the stuff, Jessica
said as she stroked Taeyeons cheeks lovingly.
The pot is on the drying rack, the noodles are in the cabinet
on the right side of the stove, Taeyeon said as she took
Jessicas hand and gave it a gentle kiss. Jessica bent
forward, the two girls then exchanged a few sweet kisses
before Jessica left the room.

http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Taeyeon laid on her back and faced the ceiling, her mind
filled with plenty of thoughts and questions. It was working
on overdrive and so was her heart.
Are you ok? Taeyeon felt a hand on hers along with the
question.
I am, Taeyeon nodded as she placed the cup aside.
Theres something I wanted to speak to you about,
Taeyeon said, unable to look in to the eyes of the girl that
sat across from her. She was afraid that she wouldnt be
able to end the relationship if she did.
I have thought about it long and hard. I dont think we
should be together, Taeyeon said, breaking the news.
Whaaat do you..mean?
I mean, we should end the relationship. We shouldnt be
together. I cant be with you. Were not meant to be. Im
sorry, Taeyeon said as she placed a few bills on the table
before she stood up and walked away.
No, wait. A hand gripped Taeyeons and jerked her to a
stop.
Let go, and dont come after me, Taeyeon said callously as
she shook off the hand that held on to her wrist. Its over,
Taeyeon said coldly as she walked away, leaving the
devastated girl behind her.

They were all done with lunch and Taeyeon and Tiffany were
in the car with Jonghyun and Jessica. Jonghyun was going
to send Jessica back home and Tiffany was going over to
Taeyeons place.
Why dont I go over to your place too? Jessica suggested
as Jonghyun drove off.
Ok, Jonghyun agreed. Taeyeons heart was in her boot
when she saw Jessica place her hand on Jonghyuns. It
wasnt a pleasant sight. Those were the hands she once
held in hers.
Dad, I forgot, I wanted to go over to Uncle Kang-ins place
to visit the Halmeoni. Can you send me there instead?
Taeyeon said a few minutes later.
Ok, Jonghyun said as he changed his course.
***
Thanks Dad, Taeyeon said as she alighted from the car
with Tiffany. She made it a point not to look at Jessica. She
didnt want Jessica to feel that she had any feelings left for
her.
Taeyeon intentionally held Tiffanys hands as the both of
them headed towards the apartment block, for all to see.
*Flashback*
Taeyeon stood outside her fathers bedroom, unsure how
she was to carry out the conversation that was going to
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
follow. She had been standing in the same spot for the past
five minutes.
She was about to turn her back and leave when her father
opened the door, shocked by the figure standing in front of
his door. Is something the matter? He asked shortly after.
I just wanted to tell you that I have decided to be with
Tiffany instead of Jessica. I heeded your advice, I picked the
right girl. I just wanted to let you know that. I ended things
with Jessica earlier and she might come looking for me. You
can console her if you want, but dont let her in. You can
help her to get over me, Taeyeon said and then left.

Taecyeon walked alongside Yoona and Yuri, his footsteps
slow and careless.
Still bothered by Jessica and Uncle Jonghyuns
relationship? Yoona said, disregarding the use of any tact in
the conversation.
Taecyeon nodded, I cant believe Jessica chose such an
old guy she just met over me.
What did you ask her when you went after her just now?
Yoona asked.
I asked her if she was sure, and she said she was,
Taecyeon said, his eyes turning red. I wished the both of
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
them the best. If not for him I wouldnt be standing here after
all.
Hes not your only savior, Yoona said, indirectly hinting that
Taeyeon was also his savior.
I know, Taecyeon acknowledged. By the way how did you
know so much about my Savior Taeyeon?
Because shes just so cool. She used to frequent your room
a lot too, Yoona said without thought.
She did? Taecyeon said in surprise.
Yuri nudged Yoona immediately. It doesnt matter if he
knows does it? Yoona retorted, Its not like Taeyeon
doesnt already know.
Anyway, you dont mind if I hang out at your place do you?
Yoona requested, I really want to spend some time in the
place where Super Taeyeon used to hang out.
Sure. You can tell me more about her too, Taecyeon said,
his face brightening up slightly.
Are you coming along? Yoona asked Yuri, her pseudo
girlfriend who was busy with her phone.
I think Ill give it a miss, Im quite sick of hearing you talk
about them, Yuri said in response, her eyes still glued to
her phone.

Are you certain? the old lady asked Taeyeon as she held
her hands lovingly.
Yes, Taeyeon nodded, Ill bring you out for dinner one day
though, for all the times you cooked for me, Taeyeon said
with a warm smile.
Aigoo, you dont have to, the old lady said as she shook
her head.
I dont have to, but I want to, Taeyeon said as she saw a
smile appear on the old ladys face.
Ok then, Thank you, the old lady said, tears of joy
glistening in her eyes. The elderly were always more
emotional.
Taeyeon and Tiffany sat with the old lady for a bit before
returning to Tiffanys room. When the both of them returned
to the room, Taeyeon sat at the study table and stared
blankly at the book shelve above the table. Would you like
to shower or wash up? Taeyeon asked mindlessly.
Yes, but I want to spend time with you too, Tiffany said as
she slipped her arms around Taeyeons neck and gave her a
back hug. It was an awkward position since Taeyeon was
sitting on the study chair. You should shower first, Ill still be
here, Taeyeon responded, her eyes still on the shelve. The
shelve looks quite old, why dont I put up a new one for
you?
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Dont be silly, it works just fine, Tiffany said as she ran her
fingers through Taeyeons hair lovingly.
Do you even read all those books? If you dont, perhaps we
should pack it into a box and return it to Uncle Kang-in,
Taeyeon continued. I really should get you a new shelve.
Lets pack away those books soon, Taeyeon said, not quite
caring if Tiffany wanted it or not. She just couldnt bear to
look at anything that belonged to the deceased Taeyeon.
Taeyeon stood up abruptly, forcing Tiffany to take her arms
off of her. Ill go and get a box. You should shower,
Taeyeon said as she walked out of the bedroom and to the
living room so that she could ask the Halmeoni for a box.
***
Taeyeon? Soo-yeon? Taecyeon said in astonishment.
Taeyeons mother and my savior were.. Taecyeon
continued, wide-eyed.
Mmhhmm, Yoona nodded as she continued looking around
the room. She pulled open a closet door and examined the
furniture. Was the room empty when you moved in?
No, we had to clear out some stuff. There was a box too, in
the closet, that belonged to Aunt Soo-yeon, Taecyeon
responded as he looked through the book of photos. This is
unbelievable, Taecyeon said in amazement.
There was? Yoona questioned, the excitement in her voice
rising, Where is it now?

You can look around online and see what you like. Just let
me know and Ill buy it. Anyway Ive got some things to
settle. Ill see you tomorrow ok? Taeyeon said as she
headed for the door.
Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Tiffany said as she
held on to Taeyeons wrist to stop her from leaving.
I just have something I need to do alone, Taeyeon said,
avoiding Tiffanys eyes. She didnt want to tell Tiffany the
details.
Taeyeon felt an arm snake around her waist as Tiffany
pulled her in for a hug. But I havent gotten enough time
with you, Tiffany said as she leaned against Taeyeons
shoulder, Will you come back and stay with me tonight?
You really should dry your hair. My top is getting all wet,
Taeyeon said as she nudged Tiffany gently, Ill call you later
ok?
Ok, Tiffany agreed and let Taeyeon go reluctantly.
***
Taeyeon heard footsteps. She turned and saw Yoona
walking towards her. Taeyeon took a deep breath, preparing
herself for the conversation that followed.
What did you want to talk to me about that we cant talk
upstairs?

*Flashback*
Why are you giving off such a devilish grin? Taecyeon
asked Yoona after she put down the phone.
Ive got a plan. Taeyeon Sunbae is going to get me her
mothers box if its in her Aunts room, Yoona smirked.
Come on, lets check the store room first.
The both of them searched for a bit and concluded that the
box was in Soo-jungs room. I guess we have to wait for
Taeyeon Sunbae, Yoona shrugged.
Why would she help you? Taecyeon questioned as they
entered his room.
Because she wants to ask me something, and I think I
know what, Yoona said smugly.
What? Taecyeon asked curiously as he sat down in his
bed and leaned back, hugging his pillow as he did.
Im not sure but I think she is curious about her birthmark
and the relation to Super Taeyeons scar, Yoona said,
unaware that she guessed right. They are identical.
So what if it is? Taecyeon continued, his simple mind
unable to grasp the complexity of the matter.
Yoona rolled her eyes, What are the odds of that? Theres
something about it. I dont think its just a mere coincidence.
I think that Taeyeon Sunbae is Taeyeon.

said just before she walked away. She knew that Yoona was
smart enough to catch on.
word was filled with sadness and before she knew it, she
was crying.
Yoona was never one to shed tears so easily, but the love
between her Super Taeyeon and Soo-yeon was just so pure
and so deep. The fact that they didnt get to be together, and
the fact that they didnt know of their true feelings for each
other was heart wrenching.
Lets go, Yoona said to Taecyeon as she stood up, her
eyes all red and puffy. She was about to pick up the box but
Taecyeon helped her instead. Ill do it, he said as he
picked up the box carefully.
Did you want to bring this home or should we just return it?
Taecyeon asked Yoona.
Lets just keep the box in your room. I just want to keep the
book, Yoona said as she took it out of the box and kept it in
her bag.
Ok, Taecyeon nodded obediently as they walked back to
the apartment.
Do you really believe that Taeyeon Sunbae is the
reincarnation of your savior? Yoona asked the gentle giant
that walked alongside.
I do, Taecyeon responded, even though it was against his
religious belief.

quickly and headed to the bathroom where she could let her
tears flow freely.
***
Taeyeon roamed about the streets of Seoul aimlessly, not
knowing where to go or what to do. The words reincarnate
of Taeyeon kept resonating in her head. The nightmares that
she had were actually a glimpse into her past life, or so it
seemed.
The thoughts of her kissing her mother made her sick.
Taeyeon ran to the side of the road and bent over as she
threw up. The combination of whiskey and the acid in her
stomach burnt her throat as she emptied the contents of her
stomach onto the road.
Taeyeon stumbled backward and landed on the ground. She
was a total wreck and there wasnt a single soul she could
talk to. She brought her knees towards her chest and
started sobbing to herself. The pain was hers to bear.
Her phone started ringing but she ignored it. She knew who
it was, and she didnt want to pick up.
Taeyeon Sunbae? Taeyeon heard Yoona calling out to her.
Taeyeon got on her feet quickly and attempted to walk away,
stumbling along as she did. She tripped on her own foot and
almost fell flat, but a strong arm broke her fall.
Taeyeon, are you ok? She heard a male voice that she
vaguely recognised as Taecyeon ask.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Taeyeon was relieved that Yoona was just being her usual
sarcastic self.
Taeyeons throbbing head hindered her from remembering
the previous nights events. It took her a while to recall
random snippets.
Seriously, what happened last night? Why are we in bed
together? Taeyeon asked once more. Youre my best
friends girlfriend and you were hugging me! What were you
thinking! Taeyeon exclaimed as she got reminded that
Yoona had her hand on hers just moments ago.
Yoona grunted as she sat up in bed, displaying clear
displeasure that she had to be woken up so early, and in
that manner, You were the one that held my arm first. I tried
to pull away but you held on so tightly. You kept calling out
too and I barely got much sleep.
Calling out? Taeyeon asked, worried that she may have
accidentally called out Jessicas name.
Yes. You sure talk a lot for a person whos supposed to be
asleep. Youre talking a little too much now as well.
Seriously, let me sleep. I dont even know why I helped you
last night. I shook your Dad and Tiffany off for you. Pfft,
Yoona said irritably as she laid back down and burrowed her
head into the pillow.
You what?? Taeyeon asked, getting more worried by the
minute.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Just check your phone and stop talking to me! Yoona said
as she pulled her blanket over her head. Yoona was
obviously more grouchy than usual since she barely got
sleep.
Taeyeon started looking around the room for her phone. She
saw it within seconds and she walked towards the study
table quickly. Taeyeon sat down heavily as she picked up
her phone. It took her a while to switch it on.
The message tone beeped twice the moment the phone
came on. One was a reply from her father saying ok to the
message that Yoona had sent. The next one was from
Tiffany.
Taeyeon sighed and placed her phone on the study desk
after she read the message from Tiffany. She was thankful
that Yoona had replied on her behalf, otherwise she would
have had a hard time explaining why she got drunk.
Yoona has this book too? Taeyeon thought to herself as she
saw the copy of The Solitaire Mystery on the desk. She
picked it up and flipped it open out of habit.
Taeyeon was quite surprised when she saw so many words
scribbled on the front of the book. She read the first line out
of curiosity. For my love, my destiny...Ill find you every
lifetime, Ill love you all the same
She felt her heart tremble when she read that sentence,
unaware that it was she who wrote that sentence in her
former life. Taeyeon was filled with sorrow. The idea of
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
destiny, love, and reincarnation was just the thing that was
causing her so much torment, but that sentence that she
had just read made all the three things that tormented her
suddenly sound so romantic.
There was a sudden sharp pain to her heart as she took a
breath. She clutched at her chest, surprised at the sudden
pain. She took slow breaths, barely inhaling with each one.
Soon enough, the tension in her heart eased and the pain
went away.
Taeyeon pushed the book aside, not wanting to have to read
anymore of that crap. It was too painful. She rested her
elbows on the table and held her pounding head. It was her
first hangover and it felt horrible.
***
*Flashback*
The more Taeyeon stared at the ceiling the more confused
and bothered she got. She couldnt understand the dreams
she had and she couldnt stop thinking about what her Aunt
said earlier this morning when she picked up her fathers
phone and overheard the words not meant for her ears.
Taeyeon felt the pressure growing in her head. It hurt. She
didnt know if it was due to the lack of sleep or the lack of
fluids. Either way, Taeyeon decided to get out of bed and
join Jessica in the Kitchen. A warm cup of tea now seemed
quite tempting.

Taeyeon reached for Yoonas door knob, but the words that
followed made her freeze in her tracks.
Congratulations..I wish you both well. I got to go..See you,
Taeyeon said as she ended the call immediately. The
moment she ended the call, Taeyeon felt all lightheaded and
dizzy. The ringing in her ears got louder and louder, blocking
out everything else.
Impossible. This cant be happening.
Taeyeon held on to the door for support, her face turned
pale.
Her fathers words resonated, Taeyeon, I called just to tell
you that Jessica and I are getting married...
Getting married...Jessica..My father..
Taeyeon felt her heart contract in pain. As she inhaled, she
realised that she couldnt breathe properly, she gasped,
trying to take in air. Her tears flowed as she continued taking
quick gasps of air, not being able to stop.
Taeyeon Sunbae, Taeyeon Sunbae, are you ok?? Yoona
asked, sounding quite worried.
Taeyeon shook her head, unable to speak as she struggled,
unable to stop herself from gasping. She needed oxygen.
Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Whats that noise? Its eerie. Tiffany felt the hair on the
back of her neck rise on its ends as she heard a blood
curling scream in the background.
Its a horror movie, Taecyeon responded.
Catching up on lost time I see. Continue watching then, call
me if you need me.
Ok, bye, Taecyeon said and then hung up.
Tiffany sighed. It was a long wait. She was so bored she
started counting the planks on the dock as she walked. One,
two, three...hundred and one. Tiffany looked up and she
saw a bin by a bench. She walked towards it and tossed the
empty cup before settling on the bench.
Tiffany picked up the distant sound of an engine moments
later. She looked in the direction of the sound and squinted
her eyes as she shaded it from the sun. Tiffany smiled as
she identified her girlfriends yacht.
Tiffany stood up quickly. She was about to run over when
she noticed that there was someone else on the top deck.
For a moment, Tiffany thought she recognised the wrong
yacht since she hasnt been on it too many times, but as the
yacht sailed through the Marina towards the empty spot,
Tiffany was sure it was Taeyeons.
The smile on her face vanished completely when she saw
what she saw. The other girl on the yacht seemed to be
hugging Taeyeon from the back as she maneuvered the
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Tiffany was so tired from all that crying that she finally fell
asleep in Yuris arms.
Yuri watched as the girl slept in her arms. Yuri felt a rising
sense of anger as she thought of what her best friend had
done. She wasnt aware of what had happened until
recently. When Tiffany told her, she was so mad that she
wanted to beat Taeyeon up.
If Tiffany hadnt begged her not to, Taeyeon would have
already been beaten to a pulp. Tiffany was so afraid that if
Taeyeon knew that she knew the truth, Taeyeon would leave
her in the blink of an eye.
The puzzling thing was the entire relationship between
Taeyeon, Jessica and Uncle Jonghyun. If Uncle Jonghyun
and Jessica were together from the start, where did
Taeyeon and Jessicas relationship begin? Yuri forced those
thoughts out of her head and focused on the sleeping girl.
Dont be sad, Ill be here for you all the way. Youll pull
through, Yuri said as she stroked the sleeping girls cheeks
lovingly, a tear running down her own cheek.
***
Did you hear what I said? Yoona said sounding quite
frustrated at Taeyeons silence. Jessica is Soo-yeon and
you are Taeyeon. The both of you are meant to be, Yoona
repeated.
I..already knew that, Taeyeon said softly.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
*Flashback*
Taeyeon was still grappling with the fact that her father was
in love with Jessica when the next sentence ensued, totally
catching her off guard.
So you are admitting that you recognised the fact that
Jessicas the reincarnate of my sister? I know that you
asked her to have some coffee with you at the Marina. What
were you trying to pull then? She belongs with Taeyeon.
They should continue where they left off in their past life.
You steer clear! Soo-jung said as she gave Jonghyun a
mighty shove.
Taeyeon became extremely confused at what she just
heard. Jessica? Sister? It wasnt possible. Reincarnation..It
didnt make sense. No..
"You're being ridiculous if you think that I'd make a move on
her!" Jonghyun retorted, "I love her and I can't stop loving
her. Whether she's Jessica or Soo-yeon, I love her! That
doesn't mean I want to possess her. She's always been
Taeyeon's to love. Always been.." Jonghyun said as he
dropped down on his knees and broke into tears.
Taeyeon couldn't believe the sight before her eyes or the
words that came out from their mouths. Her world felt like it
was being sucked into a black vortex, vanishing bit by bit,
crumbling. She slid to the ground very slowly, her knees
weak. Her father was in love with her lover? No..No. She
was in love with her mother? There were no words to
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Ok. Dont do it if you cant. Just do what you can. You can
talk to me if you need someone, Yoona said as she
extended her arms and wrapped it around Taeyeon as
Taeyeon sobbed into her shoulders.
***
*Flashback*
Im sorry I took so long to cook you noodles. You father
came back and he hasnt had food so I offered it to him
instead, Jessica said as she entered the room. By the way,
your Aunt is here too, Jessica said as she approached
Taeyeon.
Taeyeon felt Jessicas arms snake around her gently as she
neared. Are you feeling better? Jessica asked as she
planted a gentle kiss on the nape of Taeyeons neck,
sending a tingle of pleasure down her spine.
I am, Taeyeon lied. She was feeling a million times worse
after the conversation she overheard.
Go on down to the kitchen before the noodles turn soggy,
Jessica said as she playfully tapped Taeyeons bottom.
Dont do that, Taeyeon said instantly. She didnt like it
since it reminded her of something a parent would do to a
child.

the empty bus stop. They had been walking for a while now,
aimlessly.
Lets hop on the first bus that comes, Taeyeon suggested,
even though they didnt know where the bus would head.
Moments later, a bus came along and the two girls boarded.
Do you think Im crazy? Taeyeon asked Jessica.
Were creating memories, Jessica giggled.
We are, Taeyeon said as she hugged Jessica tightly.
The both of them sat in the bus, enjoying the warmth of
each others body as the bus continued on.
Wake up, Taeyeon heard a voice say as someone nudged
her arms, Wake up.
Taeyeon opened her eyes and saw that it was the driver of
the bus, Were at the terminal. Taeyeon quickly nodded
and apologised, waking Jessica in the process.
Taeyeon held Jessicas hands and the both of them
alighted. This strangely feels like were running away with
each other, Jessica joked. She sounded happy even
though they didnt know where they were.
Yes, Im running away with you. Lets just go, live
somewhere together. Forget about the rest of the world,
Taeyeon said solemnly.

Dont blame him. I told him he could be there for her when I
ended things with her. He deserves to be happy, Taeyeon
said, her voice cracking at the end of the statement.
Sure, Yoona said as she gave Taeyeon a doubtful look,
Jessica, she cant possibly have any real feelings for your
father, can she? Yoona asked.
I dont know, Taeyeon said as she looked away. Deep in
her heart, she had her doubts. The many times Jessica
looked at her, she saw the longing and the overwhelming
look of love in her eyes. Taeyeon felt a stabbing pain to her
heart.
She definitely loves you. You may not like to hear this, but I
think shes getting married to your father just so she can be
around you. No other reason.
But that doesnt change anything. It is a fact that we cant
be, shes Jessica, but shes also my mother, Taeyeon
responded, her heart aching as she reminded herself of the
painful truth.
Yoona sighed, Shes really going to become your mother if
you allow them to go through with the marriage.
Taeyeons phone beeped, saving her from having to say
anything else to Yoona. It was a message from Yuri. It
seems like Yuri is asking us out on a double date, Taeyeon
said as she showed Yoona the phone.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
Taeyeon quickly dried her face before she opened the door,
Yes.
Good morning, Jessica said as she hugged Taeyeon and
kissed her on the lips. The image of Soo-yeon flashed into
her head, causing Taeyeon to pull away immediately. The
images from the dream she had was still fresh in her head.
Whats wrong? Jessica asked, surprised at the sudden
movement.
I havent brushed my teeth yet, Taeyeon said as she
fidgeted uneasily.
Silly, its ok, Jessica said as she entered the bathroom,
wrapping her arms around Taeyeons waist, Come on, Ill
brush your teeth for you, Jessica said as she nuzzled
Taeyeons nose.
Jessica unwrapped the toothbrush that they got and rinsed it
before squeezing toothpaste onto it. Taeyeon watched the
girl standing before her, and she asked herself, Can I stop
loving you if you were really my mothers reincarnate?
Jessica held the toothbrush by to Taeyeons mouth, Open
up.
Taeyeon did as she was told, watching her lover brush her
teeth. Jessica did it with so much love, care and attention
that it made Taeyeon wish that she could just stay by her
side like this, forever.

I know I shouldnt be asking a question like this right now,
but how did you realise that you had feelings for Jessica?
She was with your father wasnt she? Yoona asked her
crying Sunbae.
I met her, at the hospital after I sent her grandmother to the
hospital. My father, he was never with her until now,
Taeyeon responded, her eyes red and swollen, her cheeks
stained with fresh tears.
Yoona handed her a box of tissue, So..whatever we saw at
the marina, it wasnt real? Jessica was there with you, not
your father?
Taeyeon nodded, sniffling and wiping her tears at the same
time.
Yoonas jaw dropped. She continued after a while, I cant
believe this. The both of you are so good at concealing the
truth. I should have known from the way Jessica looked at
you. To think that I was duped into believing that the both of
you had feelings for each other, but werent together. I
should always trust my instincts. When did the both of you
start seeing each other?
It happened when Tiffany went back to the states during the
school break. I knew I wasnt supposed to be attracted,
but..I was. We were out at sea and we just caved when
there was a storm. We thought we were going to die. It was

Yuri frowned. She could sense the anger rising in her when
she saw the pain in Tiffany's eyes as Taeyeon walked out
the door. Yuri glared at her best friend, "What are you
doing!" Yuri grabbed Taeyeon by the collar, a reflex action
caused by her anger.
"I'm sorry Yuri, I can't do this anymore. I told Tiffany of your
feelings," Taeyeon said, causing Yuri's jaw to drop slowly.
"You..what?"
"I'm sorry," Taeyeon said and she walked away as did
Yoona. Yuri stood rooted to the spot, unsure of her next
course of action. Tiffany was sobbing in the room.
*End of Flashback*
"Hi," Yuri said to the two best friends who were seated
together. She was still feeling conscious around Tiffany. She
had been ever since Taeyeon exposed her. The last time
she spoke to Tiffany was also the last time she spoke to
Yoona and Taeyeon. It was as if they had all gone their
separate ways after the break-up escapade.
Yuri sat herself down beside Taecyeon, her knees feeling
like jelly. It took her tremendous courage to even approach
them. "Have you heard from Taeyeon? She doesn't seem to
be around," Yuri said, not looking at anyone in particular.
"No. We didn't see her since we arrived," Taecyeon
responded.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
"I see. I'll see you around," Yuri said as she looked at
Taecyeon, not knowing what else to say.
"Why don't you just sit here with us," Taecyeon said with a
warm and inviting smile. Yuri looked quickly at Tiffany,
contemplating for a second before she rejected him, "My
mother, she's there," Yuri said and then quickly stood up.
It was then that she saw Uncle Jonghyun enter. He was
looking around, seemingly for his daughter who clearly
wasn't around. She was missing and nobody knew where.
He approached Soo-jung and spoke to her. It was clear that
he was asking her if she knew where Taeyeon was. Her
response was urgent and she seemed like she was mad at
him. It could be seen from the angry frown she wore, as well
as the way she glared at him.
Jonghyun on the other hand wore a look of worry along with
guilt.
In that same moment, the Chapel doors burst open
suddenly, a loud voice booming, the sound echoing off the
walls, "Stop!"
All heads turned and stared at the tall figure that had just
made a dramatic entrance. It was Yoona. She nodded in
apology when she realised that the ceremony had not
begun. It was supposed to, but it probably hasn't
commenced because Taeyeon wasn't around.
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
She did her best, but she felt that she hadnt done enough.
Yoona used ways and means to convince Taeyeon that it
was ok, but the emotions Taeyeon felt and the thoughts
going through her head were too complex. Despite that, she
knew that she had succeeded in messing with Taeyeons
head, just enough to set her thinking. Whatever happened
next was entirely out of her hands.
It was a pity that time was not on her side. She had a feeling
that Taeyeon was that close to breaking. If only she had
something to give Taeyeon that final push, but she didnt.
The more Yoona thought, the more displeasured she was.
She banged on the shelf, angry, frustrated. All she wanted
was a fairytale ending for the pair, was that too difficult to
ask? She banged once more in frustration. A clatter on her
desk startled her. Great! Now I ruin the shelve that Super
Taeyeon left behind! Yoona reprimanded herself in her head
as she picked up the piece of wood that fell off almost too
easily and cleanly. She was going to try to fit it back into
place, hoping that it would stick. It was then that she
realised that there was something in the hollow of the wood,
something brown, something that looked strangely like
leather.
Yoona reached in out of curiosity and slid it out of the hollow
compartment. She felt a tingle of excitement in her fingers
and her toes, her hands trembling as she uncovered the
brown leather book. She opened the book and she
recognised the handwriting immediately.

the complexity of their relationship overwhelmed her. Soojung was Taeyeon's half sister and Soo-yeon's sister.
Jessica, Taeyeon, Jonghyun, they were all entangled in this
mess. Yoona finally understood why her Taeyeon Sunbae
was feeling so lost and unsure.
She looked around for Taeyeon Sunbae, but she was
nowhere to be seen. Where can she be? Yoona decided in
that split second to speak to Uncle Jonghyun instead. If she
couldnt make Taeyeon Sunbae stop the wedding, perhaps
she could stop the wedding instead.
Yoona approached Uncle Jonghyun and spoke. You are
going to get married to Jessica, who was your ex-wife, who
is also the same person who loves Taeyeon, both Taeyeons.
They couldnt be together in their previous life because they
were sisters. Are you really going to not let them be together
in this life too? Taeyeon, she still loves Jessica. Just stop all
this nonsense already. Yoona was surprised at what came
out of her mouth, but she stood her ground and waited.
Before he could reply, his phone rang. He picked up the
phone, and his face turned pale. Whatever it was, it sure
was not good news.
Taeyeon, she got run over by a car and shes in the
hospital.

Taeyeon was laying in the hospital bed. Her arms and legs
were in casts and her head was wrapped in bandage. She
was still unconscious, and the only sound from the room
came from the cardiac monitor.
Jessica sat by Taeyeons bed, holding on to her fingers
gently. Taeyeon, please wake up soon. I love you, and I
cant live without you. I need you and I miss you.
Jessicas words brought tears to some of their eyes, Yoona
and Soo-jung in particular, since they were of the few who
knew the entire story.
She will, Yoona said as she squeezed Jessicas shoulders,
and when she does, Ill make sure that she embraces the
feelings she has for you. She loves you more than you can
imagine.
After a while, most of them had left to go home with the
exception of Jessica, Tiffany and Yuri. It was an awkward
combination but they were all staying for Taeyeon, possibly
hoping that she would wake up soon.
Im going to go to the bathroom, Jessica said, breaking the
silence in the room. The moment she left, Yuri took her
place, sitting beside her best friend.
Im sorry I wasnt there for you. Im sorry, Yuri muttered to
her best friend.

Anyway you were way cool when you busted through that
door shouting, Taecyeon said, his ears turning red.
I was? I thought that everyone was looking at me like I was
a freak, but I had to do it. Anyway is Tiffany really ok with the
entire Taeyeon and Jessica being together thing? Are you
really ok too? Yoona asked.
Before Taecyeon replied, Yoona interrupted, not allowing
him to continue. Even if you are not ok, I will not let
anything come in between them. In the past life, they
couldnt be together because they were half siblings. They
waited so long to be together again. Ill kill you if you try to
stop them.
Yoona then noticed that Taecyeon was smiling to himself,
which was an unusual reaction. Why are you smiling?
Because you are adorable, the way you care so much for
them. It came out without much thought and Taecyeons
ears turned an even deeper shade of red when he realised
what he had just said to Yoona. Anyway Tiffany, shes fine.
In fact, I think she misses Yuri. Taecyeon quickly changed
the topic.
She does? Yoona said in surprise.
Uh huh, Taecyeon nodded as he responded. She has
been telling me how she finds it weird that shes missing
Yuri more than she has been missing Taeyeon. Dont know
you love her until shes not there. Dont know that you dont

love her as much as you think you do until shes not there.
Human emotions, weird aint it?
Thats good. Lets just hope that one of them would take the
first step. Knowing Yuri, she wouldnt. By the way, are you
interested in me? Yoonas last sentence caught Taecyeon
by surprise, causing him to gape like a goldfish.
waiting for now, is for you to wake up, Yuri said to her best
friend.
Yuri's phone then rang quite loudly. "Oops," Yuri said as she
whipped her phone out quickly.
"Hello. Yes. I'm at the hospital right now. Yes, Im here with
Jessica. I'll see you in a bit. Bye."
"Was that Tiffany?" Jessica asked Yuri. She was curious if
the both of them were an item yet.
"Mmhmm."
"How are things? Are you ever going to ask her to be your
girlfriend?" Jessica questioned, causing Yuri to fumble.
"I err...You may find this ridiculous, but I want to wait till
Taeyeon is awake before I do it. I need her blessing."
"I'm pretty sure you have her blessing. Look at Taecyeon
and Yoona. The both of them sure know how not to waste
time. You really should learn from them."
Yuri laughed. "That's because our dearest Yoona charges
like a bull."
Jessica touched Taeyeon's cheeks gently, caressing them
as she spoke to Yuri. You should really ask Tiffany to be
your girlfriend already. Im sure shes waiting for that to
happen. What if Taeyeon doesnt..anyway, just ask Tiffany
Author : Yongel
http://www.yongelwrites.blogspot.com
and quit waiting when you dont have to. Dont keep Tiffany
waiting.
The silence that came after the conversation was broken by
the sound of the door opening. Yoona and Taecyeon
entered, hand in hand.
Look at the pair of lovebirds. I never ever thought Yoona
could date a guy, Yuri teased.
Yoona gave a devilish grin before she spoke. And I thought
that you would have made a move on Tiffany by now.
Taecyeon laughed at his girlfriends cheeky comment and
then placed an arm around her shoulders. Stop teasing.
Ill let you off since Taecyeon said so, Yoona said smugly.
Taecyeon was a perfect match for Yoona since he had a
gentler and softer personality, one that could compliment
hers. It was thanks to the fact that he lived with only a
mother for most of his life.
By the way, why are all of you here. You should go out and
have fun, Jessica said upon realising that they were all
cooped up in the hospital ward with her.
No way. Were not leaving. Were going to have fun right
here, together, Yoona said as she went to the side of
Taeyeons bed. Happy Birthday Taeyeon Sunbae. We are
here to celebrate your birthday with you in the very same
hospital that you were born in. Were going to have so much
fun in this room that youll have no choice but to open your
eyes and join us.

It was late and Tiffany and Yuri had just left together with
Yoona and Taecyeon. Tiffany had arrived with a birthday
cake earlier. It was pink and in the shape of a heart, on it
were the words, Happy Birthday Jessica and Taeyeon.
Jessica had made her birthday wish and blew out the candle
on behalf of Taeyeon and herself. Her wish was none other
than for Taeyeon to wake up soon. It was a fun night, but
amidst that, Jessica was constantly pining for Taeyeon. She
was there, and at the same time she wasnt.
Jessica decided to spend the night with Taeyeon. Twentytwo years ago, they were born in this hospital, meeting as
babies, unaware that they would fall in love as adults. Today,
they were once again in the same hospital, but for a
different reason. She climbed into bed cautiously and got
under the covers with Taeyeon. It had been a long time
since she saw Taeyeons beautiful brown eyes staring
deeply into hers, and she missed it dearly.
She slipped her hands into Taeyeons, hoping that there
would be some sort of reaction or movement, but there
wasnt any. Jessica snuggled up to Taeyeon, wishing that
Taeyeon would place an arm around her, but she knew that
it was wishful thinking. Even though Taeyeons body was
warm and her heart was beating, she hasnt moved an inch
since that fateful day.

for the rest of your life, as your mother. Are you sure that is
what you want? If you still have any feelings for her, any at
all, let me know. I wont go through with the marriage then.
Just so you know, you have the power to stop it at any given
time.
Jessica anticipated Taeyeons response with bated breath.
The words that followed caused Jessicas tears to well in
her eyes. Jessica, shes my mother. Thats what she is.
Theres nothing romantic about that. I dont feel a single
thing. Youll be happy with her, Ill be happy for the both of
you.
*End of Flashback*
Jessica started tearing as her mind filled with thoughts of all
the possible scenarios after Taeyeon awoke from her coma.
She knew that Taeyeon had broken up with Tiffany, but it
was also true that Taeyeon did not do a single thing to get
her back. She was even willing to see Jessica get married to
her father. That by itself was already enough to fear. What if
Taeyeon woke up and decided that she didnt want Jessica?
What if what she said the night before the accident was
true? What if she didnt feel a single thing for Jessica any
more. Thoughts like that plagued Jessica, and it scared her.
You didnt mean a thing you said did you? Youll wake up
and tell me that you love me still. Please dont push me
away anymore. Please, Jessica pleaded, hoping that
Taeyeon would hear her, My heart wouldnt be able to take
it if you woke up and said that you didnt love me.

he could use. The people who noticed him eyed him warily,
and some were shooting him looks of disgust. Just the
sheer act of observing the scene before her eyes made
Taeyeon question the meaning of life on earth. Why were
people doing what they did?
Taeyeon stood up and approached the man, handing him
some money. Here, get yourself something to eat with this.
The man looked at her weirdly and took a long pause before
he took the money. He then left without saying a word.
Taeyeon scoffed lightly, in amused bewilderment, What is
the world coming to, she said to herself. Taeyeon shook her
head, thinking how very cold people were. She walked on
as cars zoomed past. Taeyeon tilt the face of her watch with
her right hand. There was still quite a bit of time before the
wedding.
Taeyeon walked on and ended up settling at a nearby cafe.
She ordered a drink and waited. While she did, she kept
thinking about the people she came across at the bus stop.
It made her feel that life was so pointless. The simple
thought grew and grew, and it came to a point where she
started questioning the point of her existence. Why am I
alive?
Taeyeon toyed with the spoon in the cup of tea that arrived a
while ago, still pondering, attempting to find a good reason
for her existence. She thought of the life ahead of her, life of
Jessica as her mother surely pained her. The pretense was
getting harder and harder to upkeep. The sound of a little
toddler giggling distracted her for a moment. She looked up
and saw that the man playing with the toddler seemed pretty

While she was in the States caring for her parents, she was
constantly receiving updates from Yuri on the progress of
Taeyeons recovery. It seemed like Taeyeon was on the road
to recovery and it wouldnt be too long before life would get
back to normal for her. It was a couple of days back that
Jessica received news that Taeyeon was now fully
conscious and receiving therapy. Jessica was overjoyed and
she rushed back the moment her parents were able to
regain their day to day lives. They had also decided that
they would move back to Seoul so that they could stay with
her and her Grandmother. It was thanks to the accident that
they made the decision. Everything was going perfectly well
now.
Jessica bought a bunch of flowers from the florist by the
entrance of the hospital, feeling slightly nervous since the
last time she saw Taeyeon was the night before the faux
wedding. Jessica didnt quite know what to expect and she
didnt know whether Taeyeon knew the truth yet.
Regardless, all she wanted to do was to give Taeyeon a big
and long hug when they met. She didnt care if Taeyeon
resisted it or not. Jessica walked with hurried footsteps,
impatient to see the one person whom she wants to spend
the rest of her life with. It didnt take her long before she
arrived at the corridor that led to Taeyeons hospital room.
She saw a few of them standing in the corridor, outside the
room, and she felt a sudden wave of panic. Did something
bad happen to Taeyeon?
Jessica ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Is there
something the matter with Taeyeon? Is she ok? Jessica
asked Tiffany, the person nearest to her. Oh Taeyeons just

for the longest time. This was the moment, the moment
where the both of them could be together, with nothing else
in the way.
Im glad that Im awake too, and uhh youre hugging me a
little too tight, Taeyeon managed, sounding a little out of
breath. Jessica pulled back to face Taeyeon, with tear
stained cheeks, Im sorry, Im just overjoyed to see that you
are awake. For the first time in a long time, their eyes met.
The look in Taeyeons eyes brought Jessica back to the time
where they first met. It made Jessica feel so much and so
deeply that all she wanted to do was to feel Taeyeons lips
against hers.
Im sure I would have been too, Taeyeon said in response
to Jessica, suddenly looking quiet uneasy, But..how should
I put it. Tiffany? Those words stopped Jessica from heading
for Taeyeons lips. Jessica was confused, unsure what
exactly was happening. Would have been? Tiffany? It took
her a while to register the sight before her eyes. Taeyeon
and Tiffany were holding hands.
Shes Jessica. You met her after I went to America. Tiffany
replied. Taeyeon turned to Jessica with an apologetic look,
Im sorry. Jessica? Im sure Ill remember eventually.
Remember eventually? Jessica felt absolutely devastated at
that point in time. She never expected such a thing to
happen. "I'm sure she'll remember at some point," Yuri said
as she placed an arm around Jessica comfortingly. Jessica
looked up at Yuri and then at Tiffany. The both of them

Yoona sat across from Taeyeon, watching her. She was
feeling upset, but she knew that she couldnt blame Taeyeon
for not remembering. Whats wrong with you? Taeyeon
asked her junior. Yoonas intense look must have made
Taeyeon feel uncomfortable.
How much do you love Tiffany? Yoona asked Taeyeon,
conveniently ignoring her question to her. Iwhwhy are
you asking such a thing? Taeyeon stammered. The
question came too sudden. Im just curious, Yoona
answered casually, not wanting to reveal too much.
If you werent dating Tiffanys best friend Taecyeon right
now id think you were still interested in me, Taeyeon said
as she picked at the plate of oranges Tiffany peeled for her.
You wish. Im in love with Taecyeon and when you truly love
someone, I dont think anything can get rid of that feeling.
Not even amnesia, Yoona said, her sentence filled with
plenty of hidden meaning. She was hoping that Taeyeon
was faking amnesia, and Yoona was doing her best to get
the old Taeyeon back. Yoona could see how heartbroken
Jessica was.
Are you trying to imply something? Taeyeon said as she
narrowed her eyes at Yoona. What do you think of
Jessica? Yoona continued, responding to Taeyeons
question with yet another question.
*Flashback*

hard for her to be this indirect, but she knew that she had to
because Taeyeon was still recovering.
I think she looks like a nice girl. Shes the one Yuri likes is
she not? Yuri mentioned that she was interested in
someone, but she never said who, Taeyeon continued.
Yoona snorted a laugh, Of course Yuri didnt say who.
What is that supposed to mean? Taeyeon questioned, Is
there something Im missing out on?
No, Yoona shook her head. She reminded herself not to
reveal too much and just wait for Taeyeon to regain her
memory, if that was going to happen. She truly wanted to
see Taeyeon and Jessica get together in this lifetime, but
she knew that there was only so much she could do.
Taecyeon told her to let things progress naturally and not to
play God. I just wanted to say, please just follow your heart.
Whatever it is you feel, I trust your heart knows best.
Why are you so weird? Taeyeon said as she picked up
another slice of orange and ate it. Im leaving now, Yoona
said as she stood up, Take care Taeyeon Sunbae. Yoona
then left Taeyeon alone in the room.
***Four months Later***
Taeyeon sat at the helm of her Yacht, the sky a nice hint of
blue. She wore a stylish pair of shades with pink rims. It
wasnt her style, but she didnt have much of an option since
it was noon on a bright and sunny summer day.

the warmth of each others lips. With their lips still touching,
Jessica then breathed, I love you too, and Ill never love
anyone else but you.
I smell eggs, Taeyeon said cheekily and then licked
Jessicas lips, I taste them too. Jessica couldnt help but
smile at her girlfriends playful demeanor. Do you want a
better taste? Jessica purred as she parted her lips. Yes,
Taeyeon said with a grin. She moved forward and was about
to give Jessica a full blown kiss when she felt a finger on her
lips. The eggs are downstairs, waiting for you, Jessica
then said with a triumphant smirk as she pulled away,
leaving Taeyeon yearning for more.
Jessica headed for the stairs and Taeyeon scrambled after
her. Wait for me love, Taeyeon said as she slipped her
arms around Jessicas waist, pulling her close as the both of
them went down the stairs together.
Taeyeon Sunbae just cant keep her hands off Jessica can
she? Yoona remarked as the both of them appeared on the
lower deck looking like they were glued together. Just the
way you like it, Taeyeon said mischievously. When Taeyeon
showed interest in Jessica, Yoona made it very clear that
she was was for the couple. Even though Taeyeon didnt
know what was the strong motivation behind her behaviour,
she liked how Yoona had her back and their relationship
improved tremendously after that.
I cant keep my hands off my Yuri too, Tiffany said as she
fed Yuri. Yuri bit down shyly on the piece of food in Tiffanys
hands and her ears showed how she felt about it. But Yuri

Later that night, when Taeyeon was alone in the room and
trying to fall asleep, her mind was plagued with thoughts of
Jessica and it boggled her. She tried to fight it, but it seemed
like an impossible task. Why am I feeling this way? What is
this? Is this love at first sight?
*End of Flashback*
Honestly? It would have taken me a while more, but Im
sure that I would have. It only took a few seconds for me to
fall in love with you, and I couldnt stop thinking of you after.
I guess that is what we call love at first sight, Taeyeon said
as she kissed Jessicas forehead tenderly.
It was love at first sight for me too, Jessica confessed as
she fought a yawn.
Taeyeon could feel her eyelids getting heavier, and soon
enough the both of them drifted off to sleep, locked in a
loving embrace.
If only they knew that their love was a lifetime of love, a love
so strong that it overflowed into the next life, translating into
what they both termed Love at first sight.
