You Give Me Butterflies

Chapter 18

Taeyeon walked towards Tiffany's house unknowingly. He missed her. Not talking to her the whole day is paining him. He stayed around outside and left. But Tiffany who just had to close her curtains before sleep saw a familiar figure downstairs.

"Kim TaeYeon?"

Tiffany ran downstairs and chased after Taeyeon.

"KIM TAEYEON! STOP!"

Taeyeon turned to look when he heard a familiar voice. It's Tiffany.

"Why didn't you look for me since you're here?"

"I'm.. just passing by.."

"Yea right. Tell me why you've been avoiding me." Tiffany directly shoot Taeyeon. She is not one person who likes to run away from a problem. She needs to know the reason.

"Am I?"

"You're not? Okay. Then let's eat lunch tomorrow."

"I've.." Taeyeon hesitated for a moment

"No excuses."

"Okay okay.. fine"

~~

Taeyeon waited for Tiffany half an hour earlier for their date. He can't believe he is so easily whipped. He was once ignoring Tiffany because he is really bothered with the rival, but just 1 word from the girl could totally make him listen like a child. Taeyeon wore a collared baby pink long sleeve with really small white polka dots all over and grey formal pants. Pink checked. He gelled his hair and make sure he has shaved his facial hair properly. He looked radiant and confident on the outside, but he is actually very nervous for their date.

He held on the bouquet of flowers he prepared. Pink again checked. Her favourite. Taeyeon started to chucked when he realized what he was doing. He actually became vain and made the effort to buy a bouquet for the girl.

"She.. didn't even say it was a date right? Then why am i..? Hais.. I'm really.."

While he was at his own conversation, his phone rang. His smile become bright when he saw the name. "Hello Tae?" Taeyeon could not hide his smile when he heard his little name given by Tiffany.

"Fany ah. I've reached."

"Huh..? Really?"

"What's wrong? Your voice sounds hoarse."

"Er.. nothing, I'll come down soon."

"Wait. Open the door. Now." Taeyeon walked towards the door.

Once Tiffany opened the door, she welcome a very worried Taeyeon. She is still in her cute pink pyjamas but she has combed her hair well. He frowned and rushed towards her. He placed the back of his hand on Tiffany's forehead. "YAH! You're having a fever! & you still wanted to hide from me and go out?!"

"What's this?" Tiffany said to Taeyeon but the boy is busy worrying for the girl.

"Yah! Where's your medicine box? WHERE! Butler BUTLER!!!"

"No one is home.."

"What?! What about your maid?! Heesh." Taeyeon speed walk to Tiffany's kitchen and started rampaging all the cabinets & drawers.

"Tae.. You've not answer me."

"AH! Found!" Taeyeon took out the first aid box and grabbed Tiffany who is standing at the entrance of the kitchen. He brought her to take a sit on the living room's couch before opening the first aid kid.

Tiffany took the bouquet that Taeyeon left on the kitchen table when he was busy finding the medicine. "Is this for me?"

Taeyeon looked at Tiffany and stunned. He totally forgotten he has been holding on to the pink roses.

"Shit." Taeyeon mumbled and started to blush.

"Y-Yes.." He admitted shyly. "Here. Take this. I will pour water." Taeyeon quickly changed the subject to stop himself for blushing further. He ran to the kitchen and drank a mouthful of water to calm his mind before pouring a glass for Tiffany.

Tiffany took the water from Taeyeon but never did her eyes left him. She ate the pill obediently and nothing could stop her from that smile.

"Why.. are you smiling like that?" Taeyeon gave a scared face when he packed the first aid box.

Tiffany daring grabbed Taeyeon's arm and hugged it tightly. "Why give me flowers? Are we dating already?" Tiffany said teasingly. Taeyeon overcome his nervousness at the sudden skinship but rub his head in doubt. "Are..we?" He asked the question back at Tiffany.

Tiffany pouted and let go of Taeyeon. "I don't know." She said with a hint of annoyed. Tiffany went upstairs, leaving Taeyeon still thinking about what he should do. He can be really stupid sometimes.. Heesh. - Tiffany thought

He then chased after Tiffany to find her already on her bed, covered under her blanket.

"You must be tired. Sleep tight." Taeyeon took down the blanket that is covering the girl and places just right at Tiffany's shoulders. Taeyeon then went to the toilet and took the pink face towel to place it on the girl's forehead. "Tae.."

"Y-Yeah?"

"I'm.. cold."

"I'll turn off the aircon then." Taeyeon was about to walk away but got pulled back by Tiffany.

"No."

"Why?"

"I want you to hug me. Please?" Tiffany said semi-consciously. She felt a little drowsy already.

"What?!" Taeyeon exclaimed in whisper.

Taeyeon then saw Tiffany's watery tired eyes. He felt pain in his heart. "Alright alright.." Tiffany flashed her eyesmile immediately and scoot over to give Taeyeon a space for him to lie right next to her. Since he is not really comfortable with them lying on the same bed, Taeyeon leaned his head against the bedboard and not on Tiffany's pillow. Tiffany did not use her pillow either, she rested her head on Taeyeon's chest naturally. They are just like a couple.

"Good night, Tae"

"Good night, Fany."

Tiffany closed her eyes with a smile on her face as she hugged Taeyeon's waist and went to dreamland. Taeyeon on the other hand barely made his heart calm down at this moment. He looked down at the peaceful face Tiffany has when she sleeps. His lips curled upwards with him too. He took his hand and shifts Tiffany's stray hair away from her beautiful face before resting them over her waist as he hugged her back to sleep.

It's okay if we didn't go for our date. I just want you to be alright.- Taeyeon thought
