[taengsic] Moonlight

Chapter 08

In your dark eyes,
I'm often not there
So I get greedy.

— Heavy Heart, RIO.

Taeyeon stopped playing the piano and turned around. Her eyes rolled in an instance as she turned back around to face the piano upon realizing that it was none other than Tiffany, who was clapping and approaching her from behind.

Tiffany smirked. She had her hands gathered on her lower back while she kept on staring at Taeyeon, who was obviously avoiding her.

"You've a lovely voice." Tiffany commented.

"..."

"No wonder Jessica fell in love with you."

"..."

"Oh." Tiffany cocked an eyebrow, "Are you sure you are going to keep ignoring me like this?" She refused to stop herself from tempting Taeyeon.

On the other hand, Taeyeon was not even considering the presence of the other girl and proceeded to continue playing with the piano.

Tiffany could not help but to get annoyed as seconds passed. She exhaled loudly, "You know what? Fuck it! I don't care at all!" She turned around, pretending to leave, in hope that Taeyeon will prevent her from doing so. No matter how impossible it was for such thing to happen.

"Hey." Taeyeon spoke up. Her eyes fixated on the piano keys.

Tiffany stopped with her arms crossed on her chest, "See? I know you can't resist me-"

"Don't forget to close the door after you get out."

"That's enough, Kim Taeyeon!" Tiffany turned back to Taeyeon. She straightened her arms on her sides and her hands were already forming tight fists.

Taeyeon was surprised when the dark haired girl suddenly raised her voice. She could sense frustration in her voice and it was not something usual. Nevertheless, she refused to budge.

"You 're killing me, did you know that?!" Tiffany's chest was heaving up and down and her eyes got watery, "Did you know how hard is it for me?! Did you think I'm enjoying this?! I know you can feel it, but you pretend like you don't! I don't fucking care if you do that to Jessica, but I beg you, don't do the same thing to me! It hurts!"

"What are you talking about? If you are trying to, like, show me your acting skills," Taeyeon shooked her head, "This is not the place for you."

"I love you." Tiffany blurted out.

Taeyeon snorted with Tiffany's sudden confession and shook her head again in disbelief, "You are not in your right mind."

"Yes! I'm not in my right mind for falling in love with you and betraying my own best friend!" Tiffany eventually burst into tears. It hurt her to think that it was nothing but a forbidden love. It hurt to stare into the eyes of someone that she was not supposed to fall in love with. It hurt to realize that she was betraying her best friend. She knew her foolishness but at the same time, she could not help it either.

Taeyeon was completely at a loss for words. She was stunned that she could not do anything other than looking at Tiffany. It was dumb to think that Tiffany could be so ignorant. Just like her.

"I'm sorry." Tiffany sobbed. She dropped her gaze onto the floor, witnessing her own hopeless tears. It was already so wrong to let her tears fall for the wrong person.

"You should apologize to your best friend. Not me." Taeyeon remarked coldly and left the scene heartlessly by slamming the door behind her.

Tiffany continued to cry her heart out in her attempt to get rid of the pain for being a complete fool. She could not deny it either that she felt more guilt for Jessica, her best friend. And she knew she had no one to blame but herself.
