[taengsic] Moonlight

Chapter 5

In the black and white world,
you were the one ray of light.

— Rain, Taeyeon.

Taeyeon entered the bedroom to get the books she needed for the classes on that day. Regardless of Jessica, who was still sleeping on the bed, she just walked straight to her desk and rummaged her things to get the books.

In consideration of the sick Jessica, Taeyeon took the initiative to sleep on the couch. It was her first time entering the bedroom after she left Jessica there alone the day before and just asked the maid to get the things she needed from there. But it was a kind of unfortunate for her because she hadn't seen the maid since she woke up a while ago. And thus she decided to get her things on her own.

Jessica suddenly let out a small whimper in her sleep and it caught Taeyeon's attention. It seemed that she was still in pain, or perhaps, having a nightmare.

Taeyeon turned her attention briefly to Jessica. She stared at the latter and emitted a sigh as she muttered, "Fool."

At the same time, the door was being opened from outside and the maid appeared.

Taeyeon made her way to the door and stood in front of the maid while holding her books against her chest, "Prepare some porridge and milk for her. And don't forget the medicines as well. She should heal quickly. I can't bear sleeping on the couch."

The maid nodded her head in understanding and Taeyeon left.

In the classroom, Tiffany was chatting with Sooyoung and Yoona while waiting for their class to start. As they ran out of topic, Tiffany decided to talk about Taeyeon and the time when she saw the latter singing in the practice room, which had successfully dominated her mind ever since she witnessed the breathtaking moment.

"Her voice is so melodious. I don't know how else to explain it but for sure her voice is not a joke. I almost fainted when I heard it and I'm serious." Tiffany recalled in admiration.

"Please don't tell us that you have fallen in love with her." Yoona said suspiciously.

Tiffany grinned. Her friend's words painted a blush on her cheeks.

"No way," Sooyoung added to Yoona's suspicious, "Have you fallen in love with her?"

Tiffany cleared her throat with a sheepish smile, "What... if?"

"YOU CAN'T!" The duo responded simultaneously.

Tiffany frowned, "Why? Is it wrong to love people?"

"Yes! It is wrong to love the wrong person!" Yoona said with concerns in her eyes.

"And Taeyeon is obviously not the right person for you. She is married and her wife is our own best friend!" Sooyoung added.

"Do you think I don't know that?" Tiffany pouted and rolled her eyes, "Gosh, you guys make me sound like a traitor!"

At that time, Taeyeon made an appearance and walked into the classroom. Tiffany, who was sitting with her legs crossed on the table immediately sat in a more appropriate way as she fixed her necktie and hair.

Tiffany smiled at Taeyeon, but the latter didn't even glance at her. She bit her bottom lip in embarrassment.

A few moments later, Tiffany can't resist her hidden desire anymore. She decided to approach Taeyeon and sat on the empty seat next to the girl, leaving Yoona and Sooyoung in bewilderment at her boldness.
