(Taeyeon's POV)
My eyes starts to feel tired and dry, so i put down the coloring pencil in my hand and then used my free hands to gently rub my eyes. I stand up from my chair and do some stretching to break few joints.
*krak* *krak*
"Ahh~now i feel better." I sighed in satisfaction.
I take a glance on the clock that hanging on my bedroom's wall. Omo, it's 2 AM already, no wonder my eyes feel this tired for keep staring at my coloring book for more than 2 hours.
I was planning to take a sip of my favorite beer inside the refrigerator and then directly go to bed but then i realize i haven't hear any noise nor seeing any sign that showing my housemate is at home already. No, not Sunny. I know she's already sleeping soundly in her room by now. She got back home like 1 hour ago after done with her radio show for today. I was talking about the other 'ny'.
"Aish where is she? It's late already. And she even didn't send any message to me to let me know she will go home late." I mumbled grumpily by myself.
Done with my before sleep routine, which is drink a cup of my favorite alcohol drink, brush my teeth, and wash my face, my heart still somehow feeling restless and i know why.
I hate to being left in uncertainty so i decide to call her instead.
*tut.. tut..*
"C'mon, pick it up.. pick it up.." i keep continuing my monologue.
"Yes Tae?" The latter from the other line finally pick up her phone.
"Where are you?"
"Still at the filming location for Heart A Tag."
"Is the filming still have so many scene left to take?"
"Ermm actually no, we're going to wrap it up for today like in 5 mins."
"Good to know. Just directly go home after this okay? It's late already."
"Okay, yobo. And you.. just go to bed. No need to wait for me."
"I didn't say i'll wait for you."
"But you are waiting for me right now, Tae. And don't you dare to deny it because i know you too well."
"*chuckles* fine, i was waiting for you because i'm a caring friend slash housemate."
"Yes yes i know that already. That's why you're my best bestfriend slash wife for eternity."
"Right.. what a bad luck~" I sighed dramatically.
"YAH KIM TAEYEON!"
"Yes Tiffany Hwang? I can clearly hear you. So no need for you to loudly calling out for my name like that." I keep teasing her more. She's just so teasing-able. Wait, is that even a word? Haha
"Ugh, i'm hanging up now." She said, sulking like always but i know she's also just kidding. I mean we won't have a real fight over silly teasing and bickering like this. After all this just how our friendship is.
"Bye, come home quickly kay? Stay safe." I said seriously this time with no more teasing or joking tone in my voice. I know despite her threat to hang up the phone, i know she won't. She'll wait for me to hung up the phone or saying goodbye/see you/etc to her first.
"Hm. I will. Sleep tight, Tae. See you soon."
"Hm. Love you.." i said sleepily.
"I love you too." And i hung up the phone first. Now i can sleep in peace.
Tiffany to me.. she is like a troublesome sister who always love to made me feel worry for her. Remember how many times she had hurt herself? i lost count already. she was way more careless when we were younger. fell down from the stairs, causing a broken leg. fell down from the stage, resulting another broken leg. *sigh* She is like a little sister that always need to be protected by me. That's why i always have this feeling toward her. A feeling that make me always want to take care of her.
********************"Good morning, rise and shine, Taeyeon-ah~" Ughh this loud voice, English greetings, so much energy in the early morning. That must be my american friend.
"5 more minutes, Fany-ah."
"Nah uh. I already prepare the breakfast for us. Sunny already ate hers but you... c'mon wakey wakey you sleepyhead~ ppalli ireona~" now she's adding my torture by pulled down my comfy warm blanket, and tugging my clothes.
"Geez! Fine! I'm awake now. Happy?" I asked grumpily. Yes, the sleepy Taeyeon is not a really friendly person to meet FYI. That's why my member usually kind of 'afraid' to wake me up when i'm still deep in my slumber especially when i just got few hours of sleep, but not for this mushroom. Tiffany is never really afraid of me because she knows that i always have a soft spot for her.
"Not really. You have to eat the breakfast that i prepared for you first to make me happy."
"Tiffany Hwang, you nasty little mushroom, remind me why we're friends again? Sometimes i'm wondering how could i survive through these years living under the same roof with you. I mean it's passed one decade already and here i am, still alive, and intact."
"You nasty little teeny-tiny midget! I know you love me so much. Just admit it and stop pretending you hate to live together with me through these years."
"Tsk. So full of yourself as always. And by the way, why we always have this kind of bickering almost every day, Fany-ah?"
There's a total silence for a sec or two and we just look at each other eyes wordlessly.
"Because that's just how we are." We both answer at the same time and end up laughing together. Yes you are right, Fany-ah. I love you. So much.
Tiffany to me.. she is like a walking speaker-alarm-microphone-you name it. She's so loud, annoying at times and having too much energy inside of her small body. I don't know how can she manage to keep smiling when me and the other members already all worn out after our hectic schedule. She's indeed an 'extraordinary' person. But thanks to her i can smile more often and laugh a little louder. It's somehow contagious to hearing her low husky laugh. Seeing her eyes turning into crescents shape when she smiles is enough to boost up my mood. Her bright and bubbly personality radiating strongly from her. People like me, who have a serious mood swings issue, who can easily feel depressed and gloomy without any specific reason, really need a person like her in their life. I know i'm lucky for already found that person for me. That's why i always like it for having her around. That's why i always try my best to keep her close. Even though i never said all of this directly to her. Nah, i won't. She will tease me non stop with that annoying smirk on her face if she knows.
********************"Let's go out today! eat patbingsoo or our favorite cheesecake." Tiffany just barge in to my room. Not that i mind, we usually just come in and out each other's room freely without even bothering to knock on the door first.
"Nah, i'll pass. I'm too lazy to move even an inch." I replied nonchalantly while still keep my eyes to focus on my phone, playing my current favorite game. C'mon! I have to pass this level today. I have stuck here for few days already.
"Kim Taeyeon, you have been staying inside your room for too long. C'mon, you need a fresh air." She insisted.
"It's okay, Fany-ah. My room's air is fresh enough."
"Yah! Why is it so hard to hang out with you? I just missed our q-time. Guess my best friend loves her game more than she loves me." She sighed dramatically while making sad face. That's it. That pout is my weakness.
"Geez, fine. C'mon, let's go. Wherever you want." I said in defeat, swiftly locking my phone before i put it on the small table beside my bed.
"You'll drive?" She asked.
"Hm." I answered shortly while trying to find more presentable clothes to wear inside my closet.
"Yay! I'm too lazy to drive today."
"Ah, so that's why you're keep insisting to drag me out? Because you need a driver to drive you? Well now i'm hurt." I showed her my fake hurt expression.
"I just want my best friend to have some fresh air. I don't want her to get stressed out more than what she already feel in the past few weeks. Because i'm afraid, really afraid, if she keeps locking up herself alone in her room, she will gets frustrated more and end up with nothing but torturing herself with her overthink." I can see worries and concern in her eyes. It's making my heart feels so warm on the inside. I'm so touched.
"If what you're afraid of is about your best friend will likely lose her sanity, trust me, she won't. She will be fine as long as she has you by her side." I smiled back. I see her come closer and soon i feel myself get enveloped in a warm familiar hug. I gladly hug her back.
"I will always here by your side, Taetae." She softly whispered in my ear, making my smile grew even bigger.
Tiffany to me.. she is like a strong pillar that hold me steady when i'm too weak to stand on my own feet, or when the wind is too strong trying to blow me away. She has a shoulder for me to lean on when i'm tired. She has two attentive ears that always willing to listen to my stories, to my complaints, to everything that i need to say. 11 years of friendship and still counting. Living together under the same roof for 11 years. I'm seeing her more often that i saw my own family. I'm spending my time a lot more with her compare with the time i spend with my own family. We're not related by blood but our heart is strongly connected with each other. Calling her as my friend is an understatement. It's just not right. Stating her as my best friend also seems lacking because she's more than a best friend. For me she is my family. She knows me too well, even better than myself sometimes. I must be lying if i said to knowing that fact didn't scare me. In fact i'm terrified! How can someone understand me better than my ownself? How can someone read me easily as if i'm an open book? But i don't mind because that 'someone' is the person that i deeply love and care about. Because that 'someone' is the person that i held so dearly in my heart. Tiffany Hwang, i don't think words could be enough to explain how precious you are to me.
