[TAENYFic] PASSIONATE PASSIONS. (Continues episode)

212>Jo-Hee

Tiffany cuddles closer into Taeyeon's arm, she looks up at the girl whose fringe is sticking at her forehead from all the sweats formed due to what they have just done ten minutes ago.
"Feeling better now...?" Tiffany asked in hesitance.
Very reluctantly Taeyeon shrug her shoulders in reply, earning a small pinch on her waist coming from Tiffany- that made her smirk, she rubs her palm on Tiffany's bare back.
"I'm fine" she lied.
"Liar"
Almost an hour ago when they were done having sex, or so has Tiffany thought. She informed Taeyeon about her upcoming packed schedule which includes her to fly over to L.A for her extended photoshoot and also some parts of the music video of her solo that she wants to amend and retake. At first Taeyeon was being really happy and excited as well for Tiffany but when it comes to realization that Tiffany won't be in Seoul during her birthday itself, Taeyeon immediately become silently and Tiffany was trying hard to cheer the girl up (naked) when Taeyeon suddenly sat on her and that was the start of round two for the both of them tonight.
Taeyeon lets out an unwilling groan.
Tiffany lifts half of the blanket that was covering her lower part of her body off, "Look at my butt Taeng! You practically left a bite mark there! I thought I was going to bleed" she rolls her eyes and covers her butt with the blanket again as she place her palm on Taeyeon's chest before sighing guiltily.
"What do you suppose my reactions should be, Fany-ah? It's the first time in my life that you're going to not be around me during and even after my birthday! How should I respond to that?"
Tiffany lets out another sigh again, "I'm sorr-" but Taeyeon shakes her head no.
The hand that was rubbing Tiffany's back is now squeezing her shoulder instead, "Don't be. Is not your fault to work, it's what we do afterall..."
"Taeng-ah" Tiffany gets up, one hand holding the blanket up to her chest while the other hand runs through her own hair.
"You know how incredibly sexy you look right now?" Taeyeon reach out to stroke across Tiffany's lip with her thumb as she grins.
"My thighs are sore, no and..I'm really feeling guilty but I hope you understand, this will be my first single and I-"
"Want it to be perfect" Taeyeon finishes her words, "Me too"
Taeyeon finally sit up as well, on purpose, their faces only inches apart, "Trust me on that part" said Taeyeon with a deeper tone in her voice, "I want the best for you too because I love you very much..." she holds Tiffany face and Tiffany uses her hand to hold it still, letting the warmth coming from Taeyeon's palm stays on her cheek.
"I'm sorry, I love you..."
Taeyeon grins, pressing her forehead against Tiffany's, she smiles brightly causing Tiffany to give in and smile back in return as well, "Stop apologizing for something like this, replace it with 'I Love You' instead...sounds way better that way"
Tiffany kneels as she gets up a little bit to wrap her arms around Taeyeon's neck, she couldn't even be bother to care less when the blanket she was holding up drops off when her eyes remain staring into Taeyeon's gazes, "I fucking love you" Taeyeon raised an eyebrow when she hears Tiffany cursing in English, a smile plays across her face when her arms find its own way around Tiffany's waist as she knows what is coming up next.
"Pany-ah" with that Taeyeon lifts Tiffany up to her face and that was the last they talk to each other that night.

*****

Taeyeon has tried to keep herself busy with her coloring books, music and stuffs. But every time when she has thoughts of her birthday that is happening tomorrow without Tiffany with her, she gets tired of whatever that she's doing at the moment and just plop herself onto bed with her phone in her hand as she scrolls through and read all the old messages in between herself and her girlfriend.
It wasn't only because of the time zone difference but Taeyeon doesn't want to make Tiffany feels way more guilty than she already did by showing how needy she is. The day when Tiffany was packing in the dorm for her trip to L.A Taeyeon had a hard time to put up a straight face with no sad expression when she sat in the same room with Tiffany while watching her pack. She doesn't want Tiffany to feel guilty or apologize for something related to her first solo single. Taeyeon in all honesty understands the situation, in fact, she is very excited for Tiffany's album. But at the same time, her feelings aren't something she could control all the time.
To make Tiffany feel less guilty so she could focus on her album even more in L.A, Taeyeon has allowed letting her members to throw her a small birthday party in a private club down Seoul. Tiffany's face instantly lit up when Taeyeon mentioned about it through their video call, Taeyeon could see the worries being wiped off with that big bright beautiful eyesmile in a second.
The first three days were the most difficult, she doesn't want to sound like a needy girlfriend but she was desperate enough checking through the air tickets on the internet for the flights to US whenever she is alone and has nothing to do. When the positive sides of hers were 'awaken' she would shut the internet down and think of doing something that could fill her empty hours with something useful or perhaps one of her hobbies. Within seconds from her decision to do something to fill her time up, her lazy bug kicks into her immune system and she went over to her bed thinking to herself that she'll just lie down for a few minutes to check her sns before she gets herself busy but always ended up allowing herself to take a nap instead of getting up and do something like she intended to in the first place. During the first three days, she would over slept in the lock room herself and wakes up when is dinner time or worse, on the third day itself, she woke up early enough for supper.
Taeyeon ransack through the kitchen cabinet for some food she could quickly fix in minutes to stop her tummy from growling and that was the time she got caught by her member, Sunny who was just in time home to pack some stuffs before flying off to the states as well for her own personal schedule. At first, Taeyeon thought Sunny would have agree with her that it is so funny to be spending the days sleeping and being lifeless but everything backfires when Sunny warned Taeyeon to stop acting so lifelessly or else the first thing she would do is text Tiffany all about it. Which is exactly the least that Taeyeon wants. She doesn't want her clingy needs to disrupt Tiffany or her focus on the album. Taeyeon had no choice but to promise Sunny that she won't waste her other remaining days till Tiffany comes back, so lifelessly.
It doesn't help either when Tiffany kept sending raw unseen photos of her for the album. It surprises Taeyeon when Tiffany told her what the album title was and which is the main song. Given that Tiffany is well known for her goofiness when it comes to dancing, how she is always seen as the one who lack most when it comes to following the beat of the choreography but Taeyeon is more than eager than the singer herself for the outcome. Every single time when there's a photo shoot and new pictures, it will definitely be given to her from Tiffany and never in her life, she would change her phone wallpaper on a daily basis.
Jo-Hee: Happy belated birthday :)
Taeyeon receives a Kakaotalk message from her.
Taeyeon: Hi! Thank youuuuuuu, where's my present though?  ㅎㅎ
Jo-Hee: That depends when we can meet! 하하
Taeyeon: I was just kidding on the present part ^^ how is Japan's weather right now? Is it colder than Korea the time you left?
Jo-Hee: I wasn't though..hmm, idk, I'm not in Japan :D
Taeyeon: :O Where are you??
Jo-Hee: S-E-O-U-L
Taeyeon: 0.0 and you have the nerves to not look for me TT TT
Jo-Hee: Can I?
Taeyeon stops for a moment, she won't blame Jo-Hee for that reply when she's the one who indirectly initiate for a meet up but now that Jo-Hee actually asked so- how should she reply? It would appears to be her playing with Jo-Hee's feeling if she were to say no and is not like she really can't meet her, Taeyeon just don't think it would pleases Tiffany to know that they'll be going out ever since their last argument relates to just that one gift from Jo-Hee and also the mistake that Taeyeon accidentally let Jo-Hee to be the first to listen to her latest song, Rain.
Jo-Hee: TaeTae?
Jo-Hee: LOL! Regretted for saying that huh? Feel like taking your words back huh? :P
Now that made Taeyeon felt guilty, yes she do felt that way indeed, she wished she could take her words back but then again, she kept thinking why should she feel that way when she isn't cheating on Tiffany. Wasn't even trying to date this girl-duh, they were just best friends, used to be.
Jo-Hee: Hm..I'm bored! What are you doing right now TaeTae? Any work?
Taeyeon: I'm boring myself to death either, I'm hanging my head off the bed upside down like a bat right now!
Jo-Hee: You weirdo!! LOL!! Why??????
Taeyeon: So I can be Batman!
Taeyeon chuckles at her lame joke while Jo-Hee laughs at Taeyeon's immature joke.
Jo-Hee: When you have Batman's automobile, can you take me for a ride?
Taeyeon: Like how we used to ride on fallen tree log and pretended it was airplane?
Jo-Hee: *chuckles* Yes, well, we could find one now and pretend its Batman automobile..
Taeyeon: Headline on the news tomorrow, has our Korean Idol Kim Tae Yeon Turns Crazy? *laughs*
Jo-Hee: Since when our Taeyeon isn't silly?
Taeyeon: Why aren't you in Japan? I thought you went back for work?
Jo-Hee: Something happened...
Taeyeon: You need an ear?
Jo-Hee: I DO!! But I also prefer expressing myself through my mouth instead of my fingers.
Taeyeon: Now that just sounded erotic or was it just me? XD
Jo-Hee: >//< TaeTae since when you have become such a pervert??
Taeyeon: WTH, NO!
Jo-Hee: Yes you are!! >//< oh wait, now that I think of, you were already pervert since you were a kid...remember the time when you lift my skirt up to see if I was wearing any underwear?
Taeyeon blushed remembering so as Jo-Hee mentioned it.
Taeyeon: THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO THE PARK ON THE SLIDE AND THERE WERE BOYS AROUND! I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Jo-Hee: *laughs loudly* Okay fine! I'll let you off the hook this time ;p
Taeyeon: So I should thank you then?
Jo-Hee: Perhaps you should thank me with a cup of coffee? You know, if this gets out, it'll be one heated topic...
Taeyeon: Tskkkkkkkk. All that for a coffee?
Jo-Hee: Coffee with Kim Tae Yeon why not?
Taeyeon: Ha-Ha, I'm amused =_=
Jo-Hee: But seriously though, find something to do Taeyeon...other than trying to become Batman...you seldom have your own free time and you should make full use of it right now instead of wasting it.
Taeyeon: :( I honestly have 0 idea on what to do...I just kept giving up whenever I want to start doing something...
Jo-Hee: What do you have in mind lately?
Taeyeon: Scented Candles, I bought a set of scented candle maker online and I've been keen on doing it when I received the parcel but heck now it's just sitting at the corner of my room collecting dust!
Jo-Hee: Sounds fun!
Taeyeon: Leaving the box at the corner of my room for it to collect dust, sounds fun?
Jo-Hee: Ha-Ha, I'm amused! *inserts thumbs down emoticon*
Taeyeon: :P
Jo-Hee: Can I try?
Taeyeon: Making it? Yeah, I can give you the link to the website ^^ It's kind of fun.
Jo-Hee: No. I meant do it with you. I want to do it with you..
Taeyeon: Again with those dirty messages again. Jo-Hee please..
Jo-Hee: LMAO OK GOODBYE Ms. PERVERT!!
Taeyeon: XD
Jo-Hee: Does your girlfriend know about this?
Taeyeon: o.O ??
Jo-Hee: You and your fond in perverted stuffs...or do you act innocent in front of her? :P
Taeyeon: LOL, she accepts me wholly :p
Jo-Hee: So what now...is that a yes or are you evading to my question? Can you take a few hours out to meet up with me or you gotta get the permission from your manager/company first?
Taeyeon: *insert eye rolling emoticon* I'm neither a baby nor a trainee, so nope, I can go out whenever I want to BUT! I can't go wherever I wanted to due to my identity so yes TT TT my freedom is practically threw out of window when I signed the contract with SMEntertainment.
Jo-Hee: That sounds good enough, I could pick you up wherever you want and bring you to a small beach I found on my way home from your parent's house that I found out yesterday...
Taeyeon: You were at my parent's house yesterday?
Jo-Hee: *insert nodding emoticon*
Taeyeon: How small is the beach though...
Jo-Hee: It was quiet even when it's 2pm.
Taeyeon: That sounds *insert thumbs up emoticon*

Taeyeon parked her Porsche Boxter besides a Mini Copper at the parking lot, other than her car and the Mini Cooper beside her, the parking lot is not only small but practically small. At most it would only fit 10 cars. Getting out from her sport car, the quiet beautiful beach in front of her made her smile, I should have done this early..spend more time alone by the beach..it feels so much more peaceful.. Sitting on a log in front of the beach on the sand, Taeyeon could guess who it is already. Carrying the box in her hand as she makes her way to where Jo-Hee is at, Taeyeon yelp a little when every step she takes, her sneakers would sink in a bit into the sand.
Jo-Hee turns her head around to where the noise is coming from. Seeing the person in a dark blue shredded jeans and a white tee with a leather jacket over it, she smiles and waves to Taeyeon as she gets up to go over and help Taeyeon with the box, "Hey"
"I can handle it" Taeyeon holds tightly against the box.
"You were yelping" Jo-Hee replies with a smirk.
"Cos I'm getting sands in my sneakers" Taeyeon puffs her cheek and went over to the picnic mat where she believes Jo-Hee has prepared for them. Sitting on the mat with Jo-Hee joining next to her, Taeyeon took out her sneakers to pour out the remaining sands that were stuck in it. Taeyeon looks around at the quiet beach, it was really just the two of them in the morning. She loves it, the sound of the waves hitting the shore not far from them.
Jo-Hee smiled seeing how Taeyeon's smile slowly widens when she was checking around the beach. Their eyes met in the end.
"Do you like this place?" she asked.
"Yeah, it's cool. Never thought about coming here before.." Taeyeon undo the tape that was taped across the box, "How did you find out about this place?"
"I needed a place to chill" said Jo-Hee as she rest her chin on her knees while watching undo the box, "I needed a quiet place"
"Something happened?" Taeyeon briefly looks at Jo-Hee before putting her attention back to the box.
"Yeah"
"Wanna share? It's always better to pour your emotions out rather than keeping them bottled up" Taeyeon is done unboxing, she starts taking out a few packages packed in the box.
"Perhaps later" said Jo-Hee, she now kneels on her knee in front of the box and helps Taeyeon to unload the packages, she giggles as she pulls out a mini saucepan and Taeyeon pull out a mini burner as well at the bottom of the box, "We should have picked somewhere more comfortable? This looks dangerous"
Taeyeon nods her head towards the shore, "We'll just have to run there if anything happens" causing Jo-Hee to burst out laughing.
Taeyeon taught Jo-Hee step by step but at last she gives the simplest task to the girl, to stir the wax in the saucepan.
"This is so boring, why can't I do something like yours?" Jo-Hee watch as Taeyeon starts pouring the melted wax into a jar filled with dried lavenders.
"Cos it burns"
"Ah..how caring" Jo-Hee rolls her eyes, "Ouch!!" she felt one of the wax landed on her knuckles as she didn't concentrate on stirring properly which causes it to have tiny bubbles popping around.
Taeyeon got up and dashes to the shore to fill the small empty jar with the cold beach water. She came back kneeling on the sand right next to Jo-Hee and took the injured hand into hers as she pours a little of the cold water onto Jo-Hee's red knuckle, "Still think this is fun? Or boring?" Taeyeon teased as she looks at Jo-Hee, her eyebrows are raised but she quickly changes her expression when she realizes Taeyeon is looking at her in the eyes right now.
"Are you okay?" Taeyeon continues to pour the cold water onto the slightly red knuckle and rub the water off with her thumb, when Jo-Hee has suddenly become too quiet, Taeyeon looks up again to only find the girl's eyes were filled tears.
"W-what, urm, are you okay???????" Taeyeon starts panicking, "Urm, does it hurt that much?? Oh my God, I'm so sorry! I should've brought some gloves along, I'm sorry, please don't cry? Should we go the pharmacy nearby or something???" she looks at Jo-Hee worriedly since the girl hasn't says a thing.
Taeyeon has emptied the jar of cold water, but yet Jo-Hee's expression remains the same, she was biting her lower lips as though she trying her hardest to hold her tears back. Her nose and cheeks were starting to turn red as she holds back for too long while keeping her stare at Taeyeon and finally, when she blinks, tears roll down her cheeks. Taeyeon eyebrows knitted together as she wonder what is going on in Jo-Hee's mind, it doesn't hurt that bad...
"Jo-Hee?" Taeyeon tilts her head a little, trying to take a good look at Jo-Hee's face since the girl has her head look downwards instead. Taeyeon hears a sniffle coming from her friend's hidden face.
"I..."
"Yeah?"
A gust of wind blows past them and Taeyeon realize how thin Jo-Hee's dress were at the moment, she lets go of Jo-Hee's hand, the girl finally look up from her hidden position to see what is going on. She watches as Taeyeon takes off her leather jacket and put it over her shoulders. Once done, Taeyeon returns to the same position, kneeling right next to Jo-Hee.
"Does your crying now have something to do with why you're here in Seoul instead of Japan?" Taeyeon ask softly.
Jo-Hee nodded, "I found him sleeping with another woman on my bed in our house" her voice cracks at the end, Taeyeon frowned upon hearing so and can't hold it in any longer, Jo-Hee's tears starts rolling down her cheeks again as she sobs uncontrollably, hiding her face behind her hands as she covers her face. Her whole body trembles as she cries harder.
That sucks Taeyeon sighs, "Cry it all out" she looks at her friend sobbing and shaking so hard, she reaches out to pat Jo-Hee's head a few times, there's nothing she could do but be there for her to let her cry it all.
"TaeTae"
Jo-Hee leaps towards Taeyeon and Taeyeon caught Jo-Hee in her arms.
"That scene keeps repeating in my mind like it was on auto-replay, help me Taeyeon, please..."
Taeyeon felt really bad to see her long lost friend who is probably one of the most smiley person she has ever known in her life to actually break down in front of her right now, Taeyeon slowly but has her arms wrapped around Jo-Hee firmly, "It's okay to cry when you feel hurt..."
"Help me, TaeTae, help me" she mumbles randomly through her sobs.
Taeyeon nodded, "Shhhhhh" Taeyeon hush the girl, hoping she would stop sobbing so uncontrollably, tapping Jo-Hee's back a few times.
They spent the next 2 hours in that position, Taeyeon believes that Jo-Hee has drained herself out with all the crying in those two hours. How long have you held it in, JoHee-sshi... Taeyeon smiles to herself. Taeyeon felt movement coming her shoulder, Jo-Hee retreats a little, covering her mouth like she's in disbelief of what is happening.
"..."
Taeyeon looks at Jo-Hee's swollen eyes, "Feeling better now?" her eyes fell on the dried stain from the tears on Jo-Hee's cheek this time.
Jo-Hee avoided looking straight into Taeyeon's eyes, but nodded in reply.
"You've been keeping it inside of you too long...that explains why you can actually drained yourself out"
"Oh shit..." Jo-Hee looks at the wet patch on Taeyeon's left shoulder.
"Salty water from your eyes"
Jo-Hee laughs at Taeyeon's statement, "Thanks..."
"Lets pack these things up, we should get going"
"I'm sorry that I ruined it..."
Taeyeon shakes her head, "It's not ruined, don't worry...as long as you're fine..."
Jo-Hee blushed and nodded at the same time. She then helps Taeyeon to clean the place up and when they were done packing all the candles making material, Taeyeon instructed the girl to sit by the log as she pulls the picnic mat up and gives it a few shake to let the sands fall off before folding them up.
Taeyeon helped keeping the mat into the boots of Jo-Hee's Mini Cooper.
"Thank you..." she held intertwined her own hands together in front of her skirt.
Taeyeon nods her head, "I guess I'll see you aro-"
"Can we talk in your car?"
Taeyeon looks at Jo-Hee.
"I..still haven't tell you all about my feelings.."
Taeyeon tilts her head, crossing her arms across her chest, wondering what does Jo-Hee meant by that.
"You told me not to bottle them up right? My hurtful feelings..?"
"Yeah..."
"And my eyes are still sore from all the salty water" she giggles causing Taeyeon to laugh at the remark.
"Sure, why not" Taeyeon signals Jo-Hee to go to her car.
"Nice car" said Jo-Hee as she watch Taeyeon insert the key into the ignition and starts the car, the latter could only smile proudly at the remark as she adjust the temperature of the aircond. Taeyeon places a hand in front of it, she looks at Jo-Hee, wanting to ask her about it, "Is good enough" answers Jo-Hee quickly as though she knows what Taeyeon was about to ask.
"So" Taeyeon's voice suddenly turns into a serious one, she crosses her arms again as she leans slightly sideways to face Jo-Hee, her head resting against the headrest behind her, "How serious were you and him?"
Jo-Hee sigh, she looks at her own hands sitting on her lap.
"He's a colleague of mine- senior actually.." Jo-Hee shakes her head in disappointment.
"Damn...what are you planning to do? Does your family know about him?"
Jo-Hee nodded, "But you're the only person who knows what happened except for me and him"
Taeyeon's eyes widen, "B-but...wait what? You left Japan not telling your mum or dad? They'll be worried sick about your whereabouts!"
"Calm down, TaeTae...that I told them, I never abscond from my company either, just told them I need a longer period of holiday. My boss allowed me to take an advance annual leave since I told him its quite an emergency"
"What about the house then? You mentioned its yours and his..."
Jo-Hee shrugs, "One thing for sure, I'm not going back there...I just don't want to see that bastard ever again. Not now at least"
Taeyeon pouts sadly, "If you need any help, just let me or my family know, we're always ready to lend you a hand"
That made Jo-Hee smiles a little, "I know...thank you" she finally looks at Taeyeon with no embarrassment.
"How about you?"
"What do you mean?" Taeyeon looks at the roof of her car.
"You and your girlfriend..."
Taeyeon immediately glare at Jo-Hee's direction, "What..."
"Taeyeon...I felt it"
"Felt what"
"That you're at least deeply in love with her if you guys are not together"
Taeyeon opens her mouth wanting to say something as her mind starts working whether she should find a way to change the subject or lies to Jo-Hee, play pretend like she doesn't get what she meant. She just doesn't want anything to jeopardize her relationship with Tiffany.
"I trust you a lot Taeyeon..." Jo-Hee sighs in frustration, "But I guess is different for your case"
"No...is not like that" Taeyeon closes her eyes.
"Tiffany Hwang"
Taeyeon's eyes pop open immediately when her friend mentions her girlfriend's name but she tries to remain a cool composure, hoping Jo-Hee did not see how she reacted to the name being mentioned.
"Isn't it?"
"She's my best friend" Taeyeon takes a deep breath, hoping Jo-Hee will jump off her back on this topic, she then bravely looks right in the stare of Jo-Hee's eyes, "best friend for many many many years"
"You like her don't you?"
Is not wrong to admit to that... Taeyeon nodded, "I love her" she mumbles, her cheeks instantly flushes red.
"You deserve to give your feelings to someone who will return the same to you, TaeTae"
"Huh-" they were both interrupted by Taeyeon's ringtone blasting in the car loudly, "Sorry"
Surprised by the caller's name flashing on her phone's screen, Taeyeon answers the call.
Tiffany: Hi baby!
Taeyeon: Hey...
Taeyeon secretly hopes that Jo-Hee didn't hear what Tiffany just call her, is not like she cares if Jo-Hee does, but is just kind of embarrassing in this situation, besides, she did sort of avoided to answer Jo-Hee that Tiffany is indeed her girlfriend instead of just best friend. But then again, she didn't deny anything, she just avoided it. Taeyeon look over her shoulders to find Jo-Hee looking out of the window.
Tiffany: Surprise surprise!
Taeyeon: Eh?
Tiffany: I'm about to board on plane!! Coming home soon to you boo...
Taeyeon instantly smiles at the good news, but she can't sound overly excited- just not now, is awkward..
Tiffany: Where are you boo? You seem indifferent.
Taeyeon: Eh? No no, I'm just very surprised Fany-ah..
Jo-Hee takes a quick look on her left to see how Taeyeon is blushing while her other free hand gripping tightly on the steering wheel, so tightly that her knuckles were starting to pale.
Tiffany: I miss you.
Taeyeon: *clears throat* me too...
Jo-Hee inhale deeply.
Tiffany: Okay, you sounded awkward..but pick me up? I'll text you when I arrive..or are you too busy?
Taeyeon: No no, lets do that, I want to...what time are you arriving?
"No"
Taeyeon turns her head around to catch Jo-Hee eyes widening in surprise as well.
Tiffany: I'll text you, I'm not sure if there's any flight delay...hope not. Cos I miss my baby.
Taeyeon: Okay, text me, I'll wait for it...see you later.
Tiffany: Love you.
Taeyeon: Yeah, me too *smiles*
Jo-Hee watch as Taeyeon thumb press on the end call button on the screen, "I meant no, don't let me be the reason to hold you back..."
"..."
"Besides, my eyes are fine already! So, I'm good to go as well. You need to rush to the airport right?"
"I-"
"Okay then" Jo-Hee has her hand at the door, ready to open and leave Taeyeon's car, "Call me whenever you felt like becoming a Batman" she giggles.
Taeyeon smiles shyly, "You too"
"I have never want to be Batman, Cat Woman perhaps" she jokes, getting out of car when she opens the door, "Bye Taeyeon...thanks for everything"
"Its cool" Taeyeon waves, Jo-Hee smiles, "Now get in your car...this beach is too quiet, I'll leave after you leave"
"I'll text you when I'm home silly, don't worry, I'm no longer the 6 year old Jo-Hee that you used to know" she smirks, gave Taeyeon a cheeky wink for her statement, she bows a little before closing the door.


*****

After bidding goodbye and they went their own ways on the road, Taeyeon went back to her dorm to unpack the boots of her Porsche so that Tiffany could load her luggage bags later. She went up into the dorm to pack some simple sandwich and thereafter starts taking a slow drive to the airport. Once arriving, she parked her car in the basement area and pulled her seat down so she could lay straight and take a quick rest. Based on the time that Tiffany text her, including the time of the arrival plus the checkout time, it should buy Taeyeon almost 3 hours of time for herself before Tiffany is ready to be picked up. Taeyeon spent her time being the car, playing to games on her phone, listening to radio music and she even managed to catch a few winks of sleeps before Tiffany rings her.
Tiffany's personal manager helps to load two of Tiffany's luggage bags up and had the rest other three to be sent to their dorm by himself.
Entering the car, Tiffany looks at the back seat being lowered down.
"You slept?" she asked as Taeyeon gets into the car after making sure the boot is locked.
Taeyeon nodded, adjusting the back seat upright again, "More like a nap" she answers. Then Taeyeon turn around to look at Tiffany with a goofy grin on her face, "It felt long this time" she said earnestly.
"I miss this face" said Tiffany as she cups Taeyeon's face with her right hand.
"Just the face?"
"This too" Tiffany bites own bottom lip as she stroke Taeyeon's bottom lips with her thumb, stroking back and forth a few times before pulling Taeyeon into the centre of the car so they could steal a few peck of kisses, "Tae..you mentioned that you had the car windows tinted well right?" she sighs longingly, her lips returning back to pressing it up against Taeyeon's- firmly.
"Yes" Taeyeon press her lips against Tiffany's neck, receiving a pleasurable groan coming from Tiffany as a reply.
Tiffany wraps her arms around of Taeyeon, pulling the girl in for a hug, "I miss you"
Taeyeon smiled and hug Tiffany in return, "Yeah, me too"
Tiffany rests her chin on Taeyeon's shoulder, but pulled back the seconds after she did so. Tiffany grimace as she rubs her nose a few times, "Who did you met?" her voice suddenly change in a matter of minutes.
Taeyeon scratches the back of her neck, wondering what does Tiffany meant.
"That doesn't smell like any of yours or my perfume..."
Taeyeon follows Tiffany's gaze and it landed on her left shoulder, then something hits her.
"Oh.." will she be mad though? Will we argue again? Taeyeon so badly wanted to facepalm at this moment, but if she does what she wants right now- it would completely make the whole situation misunderstood.
"Oh?" Tiffany repeated it suspiciously.
"I met Jo-Hee, alright listen" said Taeyeon quickly enough before Tiffany could say anything.
"I am listening" Tiffany said sternly but is not like she's preparing herself for another round of argument.
"She caught her boyfriend on bed with another woman in their house" said Taeyeon.
Tiffany's jaw drop open and the next minute she was frowning, feeling sorry for the girl to actually witness such scene, "That's bad..."
"Uh-huh, is terrible" Taeyeon added.
"And you're to tell me that her perfume is so strong that it lingers on your body even when you sat next to her?"
"I'm trying to tell you that I have lent her my shoulder to cry on, that's why her perfume lingers" said Taeyeon really softly where she hope Tiffany didn't hear part of it. But when she bravely looks at her girlfriend, all she receives were stare that sends daggers through it.
"And to my defense, she suddenly came on to me..." Tiffany jaws open a little when Taeyeon said so, "...so I have no time to react, is not like I could push her away" she mumbles.
"You know what?"
"What?"
"I'm trying my hardest to not imagine another woman in my woman's arms" Tiffany huffs and return back to her seat, pulling the seatbelt harshly as she put it on.
"I'm just going to shut up so we wouldn't argue" Taeyeon starts the engine, reversing her car out from the parking space.
"You think that'll help?" Tiffany snorts.
"No" Taeyeon starts driving out of the car park basement, "But it's definitely going to enlighten the heated situation rather than I reason it"
Taeyeon stops at the red light, "I love you and I have miss you so much that I have kept it all to myself these few days, a week, yeah...it's been a week..and I just want to go home and hug you all night till tomorrow morning. So I'm not going to ruin it by talking about something that isn't even my concern. You are the love of my life and that's all it matters"
Tiffany's mood immediately lifted up when she hears Taeyeon saying so as she was looking out of the window.
"Are you listening?" Taeyeon ask in a very firm tone as she place a hand on Tiffany's thigh.
Tiffany turn around to look at Taeyeon, she has never seen this side of Taeyeon ever before. Every time whenever they were arguing, Taeyeon would either try all sorts of ways to cheer her up or reason with her. But this time, from the way Taeyeon speaks, Tiffany can feel that Taeyeon is determine to not let anything ruin their reunion after a long week of not seeing each other.
They look at each other in silence.
Tiffany finally gives a soft nod.
"But" Tiffany begins, I just can't let it go...you need to be fair with me, TaeTae "You understand why I'm not happy about it right?"
"Yes"
"Hmm"
"She's a friend, perhaps my only friend out of SNSD and Heechul oppa"
"I know"
"But you don't understand?"
"Please Taeyeon...what happens to no argument?"
Taeyeon immediately keep quiet, "I made sandwich-"
"I'm not hungry now"
Taeyeon sighs, disliking the situation they are in right now, especially when she really misses seeing Tiffany and having her girlfriend around her again for don't know how long until Tiffany starts being busy again for her schedules.
"I'm just jetlagged, nothing to do with the situation right now..."
Taeyeon hums in reply, not wanting to say anything to triggers hers or Tiffany's anger at this moment.
Once they were home, Tiffany made way passed Taeyeon who pulled her luggage bags into their dorm's entrance. Taeyeon could only sigh as she looks at the person walking up the stairs to their room, not saying a word to her as well. Leaving those luggage bags by the dining table, Taeyeon made her way to the living room as she turn the tv on and sat on the couch to take a breather.
In the shower, Tiffany tried hard not to think about Jo-Hee being in Taeyeon's arms- crying. She knows that she can't blame Taeyeon on it, she trust her girlfriend more than anyone else but to think that someone was seeking for comfort from her girlfriend in her girlfriend's arms, it pisses her off. She's mine Tiffany inhales deeply. When she was done, Tiffany went downstairs to only find Taeyeon at the living room with a random American movie on, as she tip toe her way there she finds Taeyeon with her arms crossed but her eyes closed. Seemingly the girl was asleep.
Tiffany moves as quietly as could towards where Taeyeon is at, she stood in front of the sleeping latter, light snores were heard as Tiffany is just right in front of Taeyeon. She looks at the soft features on Taeyeon's face and she could always understand why boys and girls are easily falling in love with Taeyeon. That girl has a striking face features, she looks good. Sometimes even better looking than many of the guys she knows. Taeyeon was special. One of a kind.
Tiffany lean forward steadily, presses her lips as lightly as she could on Taeyeon's forehead in hope that it didn't wake the sleeping latter. But she gasps loudly when her wrist were being held, Tiffany lower her gaze and find Taeyeon eyes staring back at hers. Slowly, a grin spread across Taeyeon's face.
"Since when you were so cheeky?" asked Taeyeon with a gentle voice, the hand that held Tiffany's wrist now has a thumb stroking across her skin around her wrist.
Tiffany blushed as she was caught off guard for sneaking a kiss thinking that Taeyeon was asleep.
"Talk to me" this time Taeyeon urges and she gave a tug on Tiffany's wrist, making Tiffany fall on top of her. Taeyeon smiled as she finds Tiffany just lying on top of her chest instead of resisting it or pushing her away.
Tiffany sighs a little bit before brushing her own fringe off her face and adjusted her body comfortably against Taeyeon, "I'm just really tired and all...to think that someone else is being in my girlfriend's arms instead of me...just, a little jealous"
"Well" Taeyeon wraps her arms around Tiffany tightly.
"I know and I trust you" Tiffany quickly clears off any negative atmosphere, "Just hold me now, okay?"
"Okay"
Tiffany felt her eyelids getting heavier as her head goes up and down softly with every breath that Taeyeon inhales.
Taeyeon plant a kiss on the crown of Tiffany's head but her lips never left where she kissed even when she's done, "Goodnight" she bids.
"Love you" Tiffany replies sleepily.
The two little boys were squatting in circles as they were mesmerized by the black beetle on the grass. Standing behind them was another little girl, hair tied up into two pony tails as she too was wondering what caught the boys' attention in the park. She didn't need to guess for too long because one of the boys suddenly stood up and turn around so quickly before she could snap herself back to reality. While the other boy was squealing and chuckling naughtily at the same time, the girl only realized the reason why he was reacting that way-
His friend has picked up the beetle with his fingers, he grins at the little girl in front of them.
"No. Please" pleaded the little girl as she starts taking a step backwards.
But when she see how the boys are still smirking and they step forward instead of going away like she pleaded them to, she turn around and starts running off. She was worried of how slow she is and how close they are coming up behind her. Because of that, she fell on her knees, her knees were scraped but her fear is the first thing in mind, she turn around, sitting on her butt crying as the boys are still coming up close to her.
"STOP IT"
The crying girl stops crying when she hears another voice shouting in a distance, she look and so did the boys. Up come running towards them is another girl in a short hair, somewhere around their age based on her height. The girl on the ground watch as this girl with bob haircut steps right in front of her, blocking the boys in between her.
"Just because you are boys doesn't mean you have to be gross and bully"
The boy who had the beetle in his fingers lift it up to the girl's face, just right in front of her, "I'll throw it at you" but he and his friend and also the girl sitting on the ground was shock to witness what happened.
The girl in the short haircut smacks his hand so hard that the beetle flew off from his fingers.
"This is much scarier"
And she stomp hard on his foot.
Receiving a loud scream in her face before he runs off with his friend following closely behind him.
The girl in short haircut now turn around to look at the girl on the ground, she smiles at her.
"Hi" she shyly greets, unlike her fierce voice she had just now against the two boys.
"H-hi"
"Are you okay?"
The girl now squat next to the girl sitting on the ground, she looks at the two scraped knees.
"Does that hurt?" she points at the knees.
"Not anymore...the bug was scarier..."
The other girl chuckles loudly.
"Don't worry, they won't bully you for now...come on, I think my oppa has plasters kept in his wallet"
The girl in pony tails shakes her head, "What if they come back and bully me again?"
"Will you come here every day?"
"Only on weekends"
"Then I'll be here every weekends too"
"Really??" the girl sitting on the ground finally smile, after 2 months in this new neighborhood, she finally meets someone new, someone who may be a new friend of hers.
The girl with the short hair nodded, she stands up and offers a hand to her new friend.
As they walked their way down where she pointed her oppa is at, hand in hand, "I'm Taeyeon by the way...what's yours?"
"JoHee"
