[TAENYFic] Pretending(Completed)

Nine

"Wake up, Narsha-yah, Hyuna-yah." Taewoo nudged the sleeping girls beside him.
"Hm~ 5 more minutes, mom." Instead of waking up, Hyuna shifted further from Taewoo and go back to sleep.
Meanwhile Narsha,..
"Patience, yobo (honey). I'm too sleepy to give you what you want right now." She slurred.
"YAAAHHHH!!" Taewoo half shouted. He was surprised with Narsha's comment that sounds somehow wrong.
"Oh my God! What are you guys doing behind the curtain?!" Hara who's already wake up can't help but to questioned them after hearing the weird conversation they had from behind the curtain.
"Yah! It's not like what you think!" Taewoo quickly said and opened the curtain that separating them to prove that he didn't do anything weird. It's just Narsha being her weird-perverted-self again.
"Oh God, why you guys are so loud in the early morning?" Taeyeon being the light sleeper she is easily get waken up after hearing the commotions. Her groaning stopped once she saw Tiffany looks disturbed in her sleep because of the noise.
"Sssttt! Yah! Don't be so noisy." Taeyeon hissed and gently placed both of her hands on each side of Tiffany's head, covering the latter's ears, and trying to blocked the sounds that might disturbing Tiffany in her sleep.
"But Taeyeon unnie, it's time for us to wake up. Go help me wake the others up." Hara said. But honestly she found it cute and sweet for seeing Taeyeon acted protectively toward Tiffany like that. Even right now Taeyeon still had her hands covering Tiffany's ears.
"Fine. I'll wake Shinyoung unnie up first. You go wake that blank girl up and also the dipsy beside her." Taeyeon told Hara, referring to Seonhwa and Bora.
"Ne, unnie." Hara replied in between her giggle. Taeyeon can be a bit childish at time. Look at how she's indirectly made fun of her big rival's tan skin by calling her with dipsy. But they all know that Taeyeon didn't mean any harm. She's just joking and it's surely not her first time to called Bora with that 'petname'.

"Shinyoung unnie, wake up wake up." Taeyeon said as she lightly patted Shinyoung's cute rounded stomach, but Shinyoung didn't even move an inch.
"Unnie, c'mon wakey wakey~" Taeyeon tried again and added more power this time when she pats Shinyoung's stomach, even it starts to make an echoing voice, causing the others who's witnessing it to laugh.

Finally, in their 22nd episode, Taeyeon and Tiffany can be in the same team again. Today Shinyoung's team which consist of Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Hara are heading to the forest to pick beans and pepper that planted around that area. While Taewoo's team will do a heavier job, literally speaking, which is cutting trees and its branches and then loaded it to the cars.

Taeyeon keeps yawning for the nth time today. Last night she really couldn't have a proper sleep, all thanks to Tiffany Hwang for messing with her mind, and also her feeling.
"You're still sleepy?" Tiffany attentively asked as she keeps picking up the beans beside Taeyeon.
"Yeah, i couldn't sleep last night." Taeyeon honestly said.
"Wae?"
Because i was thinking of you.. "I don't know. I just couldn't sleep." Taeyeon lied. There's no way she will admit it to Tiffany.
"Then finish this quickly and have some rest in that shack."
"It's okay. I'm fine." Taeyeon insisted.
"Don't be stubborn. I can clearly see your dark circles."
"Fine. But i don't want to be alone in there. Accompany me? Please?" Taeyeon pleaded using her cutest puppy eyes.
Damn it. How can i say no to that? "Tsk. Fine." Tiffany as always giving in to Taeyeon.

Now that the two girls already finished their job, they go to the nearest shack and try to get some rest.
Taeyeon is fighting back her drowsiness as she keeps opening and then closing her eyes before she forced herself to open her eyes again.
"Just sleep, Tae." Tiffany softly said.
"No, i shouldn't sleep. I can't sleep."
"Says who?"
"The PD-nim? We still need to continue the shooting."
"Just 10 minutes, Tae. Close your eyes for 10 minutes and i'll wake you up in case you really fall asleep."
"O..kay. 10 minutes. I think that will be alright." Taeyeon said with her sleepy voice.
It didn't take more than 3 minutes for Taeyeon to fall asleep with her head leaning on Tiffany's shoulder.
Tiffany smiled as she heard the light snores come from Taeyeon. She can also feel how the latter breathing steadily, indicating that the girl is already drifted to her slumberland.
Carefully Tiffany raised her right hand and placed it on the side of Taeyeon's head. She keeps patting and stroking Taeyeon's head softly like what a mother usually did to her babies in their sleep. Little did she know, her gesture really put Taeyeon into a very good sleep.
It's already past 10 minutes, that's for sure. But Tiffany doesn't have a heart to wake Taeyeon up.
After around 15 minutes passed, suddenly Taeyeon's eyelids make a slight movement as the sleeping girl squinted her eyes. The strong sunlight is disturbing Taeyeon in her sleep. Seeing that, Tiffany quickly raised her left hand and put it close in front of Taeyeon's still-closed-eyes, blocking the sunlight, while her right hand never stop caressing and patting Taeyeon's head.
It surprised Tiffany when she feels a soft warm hand suddenly holds her left hand.

Taeyeon lazily opened one of her eyes and saw Tiffany's hand in front of her. Her heart flutters and feels so warm on the inside. Lately it's getting harder for Taeyeon to control her heart. It's always acted weirdly like this whenever Tiffany around, and especially when she's being, or maybe acting, sweet like this. Taeyeon knows what she feels for Tiffany is wrong because it will only hurt herself in the end since all Tiffany did was pretending and being a professional while Taeyeon, she's weakling and let her personal feeling involved.
Taeyeon softly takes Tiffany's left hand and pulled it down before she laid Tiffany's hand to rest on her lap. She looked at Tiffany and smiled at her, trying to convey her gratefulness.
Tiffany was confused at first but she didn't resist when Taeyeon took her hand and holding it in hers. The two keep staring at each other eyes for few good seconds before the PD-nim called them, causing the two to unwillingly break the eye contact.
The show must go on they say. So Tiffany and Taeyeon have to go back to the shooting scene and continue their part. 20 minutes of resting is all they can get for now.

Tiffany said she wants to look for their friends who is in the another side of this forest, cutting the trees with bear Taewoo. Taeyeon told her to not go because the location is quite far from theirs but Tiffany keep insisting to go.
Taeyeon was dead tired so she declined Tiffany's invitation to go with her to visit their friends and look at their doings.
If only Taeyeon knows that she will soon regretting her decision to not go with Tiffany, she surely will changed her mind and do the otherwise.
If only Taeyeon could turn back time, she surely will do it with no second thought.

Taeyeon was talking with Hara and Shinyoung in the middle of their break time when she heard the news.

"Tiffany fell in the forest when she's on her way to see Taewoo and the others. The path is slippery. She hit her head against a big rock. She was unconscious when the crew bring her to the hospital. Her head was bleeding." One of the crew told them.
Taeyeon didn't want to believe this. She badly wished for this to be a prank or something. Anything but reality.
"No no no! Please tell me you're just joking. You're joking right? Right?!" Taeyen shakily spoke as she began to tear up.
"Taeyeon, calm down." Shinyoung holds Taeyeon's arm, trying to consoled the crying girl.
"How can i, unnie?! I mean, this joke is not even funny!" Taeyeon bitterly laughed.
"I'm so sorry, Taeyeon-ssi. But what i said is true. Now your manager with 2 of our crew are on their way bringing Tiffany-ssi to the nearest hospital."
"NO NO NO! It's all my fault." Taeyeon racked her hair in frustration.
"I shouldn't let her to go there alone by herself. I was a jerk. Damn it, Kim Taeyeon you're such a useless piece of shit." Now Taeyeon even starts to blame herself.
"Unnie, don't be like this please? Tiffany unnie will be alright. She will. Let's pray for her." Hara hugged Taeyeon and try to consoled her unnie while she herself also trying hard to fight back her tears. Tiffany is already like her sister just like the other member of G7. She can only hope for Tiffany to be alright.

"Yoboseyo?"
"Oh my God, Tiff! You're alright?!" Bora unconsciously raised her voice from the another line once she hear Tiffany's voice. She didn't expect Tiffany will answer her call after her previous 12 calls left unanswered by the latter.
"Yah, tone down your voice. Geez.. You're giving me a headache." Tiffany scolded.
"Sorry, sorry. I'm just too happy to finally able to hear your voice again. Are you okay? Did you get a serious injury?" Bora worriedly asked.
"Nah, i get my head bandaged because it was bleeding earlier and i also got few stitches on it. But the doctor said that i don't have to worry much because there is no internal bleeding or whatsoever, and this wound on my head will healed soon and it will leave no mark after around a month or two."
"Did you hurt yourself anywhere else?"
"I sprained my left leg too. But that's all. I'm fine, really." Tiffany said.
"Ah, i'm relieved now. You don't know how worry i was when i heard about your accident. Not only me, but the other girls too."
"Sorry. I also didn't want it to happen actually." Tiffany jokes.
"Good. Now you can even make a joke." Bora sarcastically said.
"Hahaha, but seriously though. I'm sorry for make you guys worry."
"Hm. Anyway, is Taeyeon with you now?" Bora asked.
"Taeyeon? No. I just woke up from my sleep when i answered your call. The medicine they gave me had their side effect which is drowsiness."
"Ah, i see. Taeyeon supposed to be there anytime soon though."
"What? Why?" Tiffany is still confused.
"Tiff, that girl was a crying mess when she heard about your accident. She cried non stop and keep asking for the crew to drive her to the hospital ASAP because she wants to check on your condition. She was dead worry for you. But your manager oppa told her to wait with us and he will pick her up from Yuchi-ri once he made sure that you're fine. Taeyeon also keep blaming herself for what happened to you because she said she shouldn't be a lazy jerk and let you to go alone by yourself. If she agreed to go with you, she could prevent this from happening. She said, if there's anything happened to you, she will hate herself for the rest of her life. God, that girl..she must really love you, Tiff."
"..."
"Tiff?"
".."
"Yah, Hwang Tiffany, you're still there?"
Tiffany was speechless. She only opened her mouth to closed it again. Surprised was an understatement. She really didn't know that Taeyeon will reacted this way. She didn't know either that Taeyeon will care about her this much.

Once she ended her phone call with Bora, a nurse came and bring her another pill to take. Tiffany had to take it no matter how much she hates medicines.
She just closed her eyes for few minutes before the door of her room suddenly slammed open from the outside.
Tiffany almost open her eyes to see who is the visitor she had but when she heard that familar voice, she decided to keep her eyes shut tightly.
"Fany.. Wake up. Please don't be like this. Don't scare me. They said you'll be fine. They said there's nothing serious about your injury but why you haven't open your eyes?" Taeyeon said with her hoarse voice. Even without opening her eyes to look at Taeyeon, Tiffany can tell that Taeyeon is crying right now.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't let you go alone by yourself. I should have accompany you and prevent this from happening. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Tiffany." Taeyeon sobbed louder.
That's it. Tiffany have heard enough. Her heart is aching too for hearing Taeyeon's cry.
"You stupid, stop crying." Tiffany slowly opened her eyes and looked at Taeyeon with such tenderness and adoration in her eyes.
"Ti-Tiffany?? oh my God! You're really alright?!" Taeyeon smiled widely in the middle of her flowing tears. She looks like a crazy girl with that creepy wide smile and non-stop tears that wetting her cheeks.
"Are you crying or are you smiling right now? You're such a weirdo." Tiffany teased her.
"I'm doing both right now. And yes i'm a weirdo." Taeyeon happily admitted. She's too happy right now and have a fight with Tiffany is the last thing she wants to do.
"Are you worried about me?" Tiffany asked the obvious. Don't blame her, she just want to make sure.
Instead of answering verbally, Taeyeon just timidly nodded.
"Are you feeling sad after hearing about my accident?" Tiffany asked again.
And Taeyeon nodded again.
"Why? Shouldn't you feel happy instead because if something bad happened to me, you can be free. You don't have to keep on pretending in front of everyone like almost 24/7. You can finally put an end to this pretense. And besides, you hate me." Tiffany said, half joking.
"Don't say things like that." Taeyeon deeply frowned.
"But--"
"Shush." Taeyeon put her index finger on Tiffany's lips, successfully shushed the eyesmile girl.
"I told you before, didn't i?" Taeyeon asked and Tiffany could only raised her eyebrows in questioning manner.
"Told me what?" Tiffany mumbled against Taeyeon's finger that still placed on her lips.
"I told you before, i don't hate you. I never hate you." Taeyeon honestly said. Hate is a very strong word. And for Taeyeon, 'hate' is not seems to be the right word to describe what she felt or feels toward Tiffany. She might disliked her in the past, she still does sometimes, but no, she never hate Tiffany no matter how annoying and mean she could be.
"You don't hate me?" Tiffany asked again.
Taeyeon shook her head. That's her firm answer for Tiffany's question.
Tiffany took a deep breath as she prepared herself to drop the bomb.
"Then..


do you love me?"
