Killers: Taeyeon

Taeyeon: 28

"Taeyeon! Were you really kidnapped?"

"Tiffany, how are you coping from your recent break-up?"

"Seohyun, is it true that your brother is involved in illegal business?"

Obviously, the vibe in this party is really negative for the three of us. The others, well, they seem pretty happy with the press asking about their lives as newlyweds, or how rich they are this year. I could've answered them that I wasn't kidnapped, that I just tried to get away. Seohyun could've easily answered "no", but she didn't. And Tiffany, well, I could see how she reacted to it. She became glum.

I can't believe how the people see us! We went inside and went to our seats. On the far end, we could see some of the supermodels with their boyfriends, members from a famous boyband, popular fashion designers, socialites, heiresses and more famous people. That boyband I saw walked away from their seats. They might perform tonight.

After a few hours, we decided to leave the party because we eventually got bored, and to avoid the press. We decided to eat late dinner in my hotel room. We ordered pizza, burgers, fries and all the other food we couldn't enjoy at the party.

When we arrived at the hotel, I quickly changed into my home clothes, while Tiffany and Seohyun borrowed some of my clothes. I guess it's a sleepover, then. I also ordered room service. I started eating the pizza, and drank my lemonade. After pigging out in my hotel room, we took a bunch of photos and tried so hard to fall asleep. After a while, we couldn't take it any longer, so we got changed and looked for a great place to party.

We arrived in a club, and everyone is in their party mood. Everyone but me, that is. I suddenly wanted to go home, but I can't back out now. I don't want to kill their mood. We went to the VIP area and ordered some drinks. I didn't want to drink, but I have to. After a few drinks, I got a bit tipsy and we all went to the dance floor.

We kept on dancing, and I felt someone dance behind me, like he's moving with me. I just let him, and I could hear Tiffany's loud laughter. I turned around only to see someone familiar. Tiffany went closer to the guy and gave him a tight hug.

"Mark!" Tiffany yelled. "It's been a long time since I saw you!"

"Same here. Where's Seohyun?"

"Ah," Tiffany looked around, but couldn't see our friend. "She's around here somewhere. Anyway, why are you here? Are you with Seulgi?"

"Yeah. Let's go to the VIP area to catch up?"

"Sure!" And Tiffany pulled me with her.

I saw Seulgi waving at us. I smiled at her and went directly to hug her. She smiled at me, and I saw her friend smile at me, too. I remember her as Irene. New money, I guess? But it doesn't matter. I looked around and saw Seohyun being escorted by... Sehun? What's he doing here? I glanced at Tiffany, and the smile on her face faded. But she quickly put on a facade.

"Seo!" Seulgi called and hugged her cousin.

"Hey! You're here!" She smiled at her cousin.

"I have to tell you something!" We all sat down, and she grabbed Sehun's hand. He went to her side and kissed her forehead. Is something going on? "Since you're not in Korea, I had to fly all the way here to tell you girls personally that... Sehun and I are engaged!"

I was so surprised by what she said. Isn't she 21? Why is she engaged so early? I know it's none of my business, and I don't have the right to express my opinion, so I won't. But I can't help but think about it! I smiled at her and stood up to shake her hand.

"Congratulations!" She smiled at me, and I looked at Seohyun is now frowning. "We're all just shocked."

"Thanks, Taeyeon." She smiled at me, and glanced at her cousin. "Seo?"

"Ah, yeah. Congratulations." Seohyun stood up to hug her cousin. She then turned to Sehun and grabbed his arm. "I'll murder you if you try to hurt my cousin."

"Don't..." Sehun flinched in pain. I just giggled. "worry, I won't."

"Good." She smiled once more and faced everyone. "Let's celebrate!" And ordered more drinks.

And again, we drank harder. Now I feel really drunk. I tried to get out of the club, and I felt someone following me. I turned around, only to see... What's this guy's name again? Ah, I can't even remember! I just smiled at him, and he went to my side.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'll just drink coffee, I..." And I could feel my body fall. If he didn't catch me, I would've slept on the floor. "Oops."

"Careful!" He said seriously and carried me. I wanted him to stop, but I'm already too tired to even talk.

He put me inside his car, and asked me a bunch of questions. I answered him, hoping he understood me. I tried to open my eyes, and the only thing I could see are the lights coming from buildings, lamp posts and such. He stopped and got out of the car. I started to get nervous, but I felt so tired. Even so, I tried to sit up straight and looked around. He stopped in front of a coffee shop. I saw him get out of the coffee shop and coming closer.

"You're awake." He declared when he sat in the driver's seat. "Have some coffee first."

"Thanks." I accepted it and waited for it to cool down.

"Now, I'm assuming your hotel is in 5th Avenue?"

"Yes."

"Alright." He said and drove there slowly.

When we arrived, I got out of the car, but I almost fell. If this guy didn't catch me, I would've fell. I smiled at him as he brought me to my hotel room. When we arrived, he helped me get to my bed. I thanked him and smiled at him before lying to bed.

"So you're Taeyeon, Seulgi has been talking about." I heard him say and scoff. "You act like Irene when drunk. But at least you're not as troublesome as her." He said and sat on my bed. What is he doing?

"What are you-"

"I don't like girls who drink so much, but couldn't handle it..." He said and kissed my forehead. "But for you, I'll make an exception." He got up and I heard the door close. What just happened?
