Second Chance (One Chance epilogue)

Tiffany flops herself onto the couch inside her apartment. She just had a date with Taeyeon, her best friend since ten years ago who happens to like her the same way guys like girls. It was hard for her to accept it at first. She didn't even contact Taeyeon for a good full week. But she realized that she has been too attached to her best friend, and it felt so weird for not having Taeyeon in between her days. There were no days spent without Taeyeon in her life, be it a simple phone call, the never ending chats and messages, and of course the hang outs. Taeyeon has always been with her during her ups and downs and not having Taeyeon for a week made her miss her best friend more. But after Taeyeon's confession she also knows that every thing will not be the same anymore. So, after thinking for the whole week, she finally asked Taeyeon for a chance to like her the way Taeyeon likes her.

Her phone beeps and she takes it out of her purse. It was a message from Taeyeon.

"Wash up and get enough rest."

Tiffany smiles at the text and replies immediately.

"No texting while driving, Taetae. Safe drive."

Tiffany takes her purse and phone to her room. Putting the purse on her working table and charging the phone, she wash up as Taeyeon said. A warm shower would be nice and relaxing. She takes off her clothes and steps under the shower, adjusting the temperatures and starts showering. While showering, her mind starts to wander about her relationship with Taeyeon. They are not a couple yet. Ever since she asked for a chance to like Taeyeon back, they never takes things in a rush. It has been six months already. They go on a date once in a while, they hold hands sometimes, they have their own share of being awkward around each other, share hugs when they are about to part, and sometimes a light timid peck on the cheek. Taeyeon is still Taeyeon just with a little bit more affections than before.

Tiffany finishes her shower and dries herself up before leaving the bathroom and changes into her pjs. The pink pjs, which she bought together with Taeyeon – who got the purple one. She smiles at the realization; they have a lot of couple things from matching phone cases to matching pjs. They even once had couple necklaces which caused a fuss back in their university days, saying that they were couples. She shakes her head as she continues her step to the bed and takes her phone, she opens the last message she sent to Taeyeon and sends another one.

"Done showering. Are you home already?"

She smiles again. Texting. It's not a new thing between them to text one another at anytime. But now, she feels the needs to text Taeyeon to let the latter know about her activity, even as simple as finish showering and go sleeping.

A moment later her phone rings, showing Taeyeon's caller ID.

"Hi." She answers while smiling.

"Are you sleepy already?" Taeyeon's voice from across the line sounds cheerful.

"Not yet. Are you home already?" She asks back.

"Yes, about to take a shower now." Now there is an echo in Taeyeon's voice.

"Are you bringing your phone to the bathroom?"

A soft gasp is heard, followed with a chuckle. "How could you know?"

Tiffany chuckles at the answer while shaking her head in amusement. "What if your phone gets into the water?"

"iPhone 7 is water resistant, don't you know?"

Tiffany laughs softly. "But still, it doesn't mean that you can have a phone call while showering."

"I will call you later after finish showering then."
