[TAENYFic] You are to me (completed)

12>Bonus story X

(Tiffany's POV)
*knock knock*
"Fany-ah, have you wake up?" I heard a faint knocks on my bedroom door followed by a familiar hoarse voice. I had to chuckled hearing her hoarse voice. She always sounds like this in the morning when she just wake up. No matter how many times i've heard her voice like this, i will always find it funny and cute.
"Yeah, i have. Wait, Tae." I quickly stand up from my bed, want to open the door for my beloved housemate, unfortunately i lost my balance and tripped down.
"Ouch!" I yelped in pain.
"Yah! What happen? Are you okay?" I heard that hoarse voice's getting louder than before and i can sense the worried in her voice. Suddenly the pain i feel before is gone and replaced with a warm feeling. My lips curved into a small smile as i get up from the floor and this time successfully open the door without hurting myself.
Once i open the door, she 'greets' me with a worried face of her. I can see how her not-so-hairy eyebrows furrowed and how she bites her cheek. The habit she did whenever she feels uneasy.
"Yah, you're alright?" She asked me while both of her hand make their way to hold my shoulder, pulling me closer to her in the process. She's scanning me from top to below, trying to find something 'wrong' on my body. Then her eyes landed on my left knee.
"That.. eish. That bruise will turn into blue or purple color soon if you didn't put some oinment on it immediately. You hurt yourself again right? You pabo." She lightly knocked my head with her knuckle.
"Where do you put that oinment?" She asked me as she leads the way back into my bedroom. She holds my hand and beckoning me to sit on my bed which i silently complied.
After she put the oinment on my red injured knee, she sit beside me.
"Just when will you be not so clumsy anymore, Miyoung-ah?" She sighed.
"It's not like i want to be clumsy, Taengoo-ah." I defended myself while put some aegyo in it, hoping it will saves me from her scold.
"Just please be more careful next time. Hurting yourself won't bring any good." She reprimanded.
"Ne, unnieee~" i playfully replied by calling her with unnie and showing her my best eyesmile i could make at 8 in the morning.
"Ah right! The reason why i came here is because i want to tell you that manager oppa wants to see the three of us later at 10 in our company."
"Ah, okay. Wait, you said the three of us?"
"Yeah, you, me and Seohyunie."
"Ah, maybe it's about TTS's performance in Gayo Daechukjae?" I asked again.
"Maybe. Because surely SNSD will perform. Maybe they want TTS to perform too there."

(In SM main building)
Well, sometimes our prediction isn't always turn out to be the right guess.
"So i will sing 'Dear Mom' with Wendy?" I asked our manager oppa after he ended his long explanation. Honestly, i want to ask so many why right now. Like, why it has to be me to sing that song out of the 8 members we have. Then, why it has to be that one particular song out of almost one hundred songs that SNSD have. Why? Just why? It's not that i dislike the song or what. Heck, that song is one of my favorites and i think will always be my favorite. It always remind me of my mom. And that's the 'problem' is. We used it sing it together on stage. Sharing the part in the song between us 9. So i won't have to sing it all. But now, it's a duet. There will be more parts for me to sing. The camera will have more time to focus on me since there will be just the two of us. I have to act longer. To pretend and put up my facade longer. I'm afraid i will break down before the song reach its end.
"Yes, Fany-ah. While Taeyeon will sing her solo hit, 'I'. And our maknae will sing 'Memory below the window' with Kim Changwan's band."
"Okay." I replied weakly but still managed to put up a little (fake) smile on my face and pretend to be fine, when i'm totally not fine after hearing this. But again, we don't always have the right to choose, do we?
Little did i know, i'm not the only one who feels worried and disturbed in this room.
**********

"Fany, Seohyunie, you two can leave first. I still have few things to ask to manager oppa. I'll follow you two soon." Taeyeon said once we ended the meeting.
"Oh, okay then. See you later, Taeyeon." I softly squeezed her shoulder as i make my way out of the room with maknae beside me.
I was waiting in front of the elevator to bring us down to the ground floor when i remember i accidentally left my favorite pink pen on manager oppa's table when i took some notes about the schedule he told us earlier.
"Eish. My bad memory." I scolded myself.
"What's wrong unnie?" Seohyun asked with concern. I smiled at her before replying.
"Nothing, it's just i accidentally left my pen on manager oppa's table."
"Ah.. then just text Taeyeon unnie, and ask her to take the pen with her and later give it back to you." Seohyun said.
"Or i can just take it by myself now since we still haven't too far from the office room. You can go first, Seohyun-ah. I will take the pen and follow you soon." I told her.
"It's okay, unnie. I'll wait for you here." Aww, as expected from our sweet maknae.
"Okay then. I'll be quick i promise. Be right back." I told her and dashed off toward manager oppa's room.
It took only 2 minutes to reach back to the room. I almost knock on the door but halted my movement when i heard Taeyeon's stern voice. She sounds mad or displeased or maybe both, about something. So i decided to secretly listen to their conversation for awhile and peeking through a small gap of the unfully-closed door. Don't judge me. I'm just curious and care for my member slash best friend for life.
"Oppa, with all respect, can't you change the arrangement?" Taeyeon sounds pissed and her face expression, it gets harden and hostile with every words she said.
"Which one?" Manager oppa asked.
"Tiffany's. Can you swap it with the other? Or swap the song maybe? I believe you understand the reason why i ask you this." I just can't help but feeling touched deeply. She's always like this. Care for the others a lot. I'm lucky to be one of the people that she deeply care about. I start to feel tears forming in the corner of my eyes.
"*sighed* i know, Tae. But that's what the upper management arranged. You know i'm also powerless here."
"But oppa, can't you try for another way? Another alternative? How about me or Seohyun replace Fany's position?" She bargained.
"Then who will sing your hit song, 'I'? You can't expect the other member to sing your song right? It's only you who can sing that song. And as for Seohyun, the management thought it will be good for her to sing that song with a sunbaenim. Y'know the image of Seohyun as a good-mature maknae, a good girl that respect and blend well with the elders."
"Then we have Sunny! She has good image with the elders too." Taeyeon fastly added.
"But she isn't part of TTS, is she? The company wants a performance of TTS, just not as a group this time."
"..."
"And besides i think the reason why company wants Tiffany to sing that song is because.."
"Because what, oppa?" Taeyeon impatiently asked.
"I know our company can be kind of mean s-"
"Utterly devil." Taeyeon quickly added with hint of hatred in it.
"Yeah, you can put it that way too if you want. My point is, the company most of the time only concern about the advantages and profit for theirselves. I think the reason why they chose Tiffany for that song is because they know people will highly anticipated it especially Sone because they know Tiffany's situation. It will draw a lot of attention since they know how this song will be hard for Tiffany to sing. They surely will sympathize her."
"Screw them." Taeyeon said through her gritted teeth. By now tears already rolling down my face. I cupped my own mouth to suppressed my sobs.
"Look, Taeyeon. I know you just deeply care about Tiffany. But i really can't help you this time. The schedule already printed out and approved by the CEO. There's nothing we can do. And i believe Tiffany will be fine. She's a strong bubbly girl. SNSD's happy virus. Look at how she always flashed us her pretty eyesmile."
"Exactly! How can you think it's normal for someone to always smiling beautifully at us when she supposed to frown or even crying when she faced the hard times?! That's not normal! You don't know her the way i do. You can't easily told me that she will be fine because i know she won't. I know how much it will kill her on the inside for singing that song on stage and pretending to be fine while throwing smiles to everyone, when deep down inside, she's crying her heart out!"
"I'm..i'm so sorry, Taeyeon." Manager oppa lowering his head in regret.
"I'm sorry too, oppa for snapping at you when you did nothing wrong. I'll be going now. Thank you, oppa. Ah, i'll take this pen with me. This is Fany's. I think she accidentally left it here." She bowed at manager oppa and turn her back on him, walking toward the door to leave. I don't have enough time to run away, and too tired to do so because i feel like all of my energy get drained. So i let my feet glued on the floor where i'm standing on while wiping away the tears that keep on coming down from my already puffy eyes.
I don't even know why i'm crying so bad like this right now. Maybe because i'm missing my mother and the idea to sing that song hurt me severely because no matter how many times i sing that song, no matter how good i sing it and pouring all of my feelings in it, my mom won't able to compliment me like normally how a proud mother complimenting her beloved daughter. She might be listening to the song i sing from above, but whether she does or doesn't, i will never know. Or maybe because i hate the company so much for keep toying with human's feelings. Don't care whether it will hurt somebody so bad or not, they will keep sticking to their evil plan for the sake of gaining more money. They are such a heartless jerk! And i can do nothing about that. Or maybe because i'm so touched with Taeyeon's thoughtful action that keep trying her best to protect me from any harm. Maybe i'm crying because i'm happy for having an amazing person like Taeyeon to be my best friend. She promised to take care of me and she never failed in to do so. Just how much more you're able to make me adoring you, Kim Taeyeon?
The funny shocked expression on Taeyeon's face when she opened the door and saw me was priceless. I can't help but chuckled at it.
"F-fany?" She said unsurely.
"I-.. y-you..since when..here?" She cutely stuttered.
"*chuckles* stop stuttering, you dork. And you don't have to look at me as if you're just seeing a ghost." I lightly shoved her by the shoulder, causing her to lose her balance. Pft, the human paper.
"I'm sorry. Uh, so you heard it all, i presume?" She asked as her hand make its way toward my face. Gently wiped away the tears stains on my face.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Don't worry, Fany-ah. I know you can do it. I will always be there behind you. To catch you when you fall. So don't be afraid to let your walls down. You don't have to be always guarded. It's okay to let your real feelings showing once in awhile. And don't worry about the pain because even when you fall, i'll hold you tight. I won't let you fall. Even when i can't prevent you from falling, i'll fall with you so you can fall on me instead. That won't be as painful as falling alone by yourself on the cold hard ground, right?" She playfully winked at me and causing me to let out a small laughter. Now i feel much better. Thanks to her. My guardian angel.
"Even when you fall, i will be there to pick you up again. To help you to standing on your feet again. To cure your wound. Literally. Just like what i did this morning." She joked and make me laugh even louder this time. She grinned wider when she saw me laughed again because of her.
"And i'll be by yourside, shouting from the top of our lungs while raising our middle fingers up high in the sky to show to everyone that trying to bring us down to fuck off. Nothing can really hurt us as long as we got each other's back. I promise you that." Can she stop being so adorably sweet? I smiled gratefully at her before i pulled her into a tight hug. Trying to conveying my feelings through the hug, if that's possible. Soon i feel her hugging me back as tight.
"Kim Taeyeon, you really don't have any idea about how much you mean to me. Or about how much i love you and cherish you. But you do know that i will do the same for you right?" I can feel her head nodded against my shoulder, so i continue.
"I promise you to always be there for you. Will never ever desert you. Stick with you through the ups and the downs in your life, in my life."
"Fany-ah?"
"Yes, Taetae?"
"Why i feel like as if we just exchanged wedding vows to each other?"
"WAY TO RUIN THE MOMENT, KIM TAEYEON!!!!!" I angrily shouted at her and forcefully break the hug.
"Yah yah yah! Wait for me, Fany-ah! Yah!" She shouted from behind as i walk faster and faster leaving her behind, totally ignoring her shouts and pleads, while she's still trying her best to catch up with my quick walking pace. Serves you right, Kim. Next time you shouldn't ruin our romantic moment just like that. i inwardly said with an evil smirk on my face.
