Stay

The dark room was silent save for the heavy breathing of the two people lying on each side of the bed.

The air was still thick and warm, rendering the cover useless. It lay in a heap on the foot of the bed, dangling off the mattress after being kicked out of the way roughly an hour ago.

There was a considerable distance between the two people even though the bed wasn’t that big to begin with. The one on the left had her back to the other who was staring at the ceiling.

People in their situation would usually fall asleep or say something to one another or maybe even cuddle. But they couldn’t do any of those. They couldn’t even inch closer and reduce that awkward distance between their bodies.

Finally, one of them began to shift, sitting up.

She turned her head towards the other who still had her back to her and bit her lip, unsure of what to say.

They weren’t always this awkward.

It was a mutual agreement that started as a playful challenge, an experiment maybe.

They were friends. Not very close friends or best friends, but good friends who were introduced through mutual friends a few years back. Their friendship didn’t start right away. It only began a year and a half ago when they started hanging out with a small group of these mutual friends.

Since then, they discovered that they were polar opposites who, surprisingly, could get along very well. It was comfortable to just be themselves when with each other.

Their friends began calling them the odd couple. But they would argue. No, Taeyeon and Tiffany weren’t odd. They were the cool ones. “You’re just jealous ‘cause we’re so rad,” they would say and laugh while high-fiving each other.

One day, at a party where both had too much to drink, that empty beer bottle Taeyeon had spun stopped to point at Tiffany instead of at that oppa she’d been eyeing all night.

Someone shouted a dare for Taeyeon to be true to the game and suddenly the whole room was chanting for them to kiss – not just pressing their lips or giving each other a peck but they demanded a proper french kiss.

Bets were placed and their friends began pushing them towards each other.

“What do you say?” Taeyeon had asked with a smirk.

Tiffany replied with a cool shrug then proposed a deal to share the bet money they’d win.

They shook on it, kissed and high-fived each other before collecting their wins.
