Call Me Maybe - 3

(Part 3)

Taeyeon huffed and stopped playing the piano, abruptly lifting her fingers from the keys. She was bored. She turned the instrument off, stood up and sat down on the bed. She lay down and checked her phone.

Her thumb tapped a blue icon. She saw the rows of tweets loading in her timeline. She decided to check her mentions first before she backtracked the others. She saw the top tweet on her mentions, time stamped just 15 minutes ago.

"Computer, why are u doing this to me?! I'm running super late now! So sorry, @kty_309 ㅠㅠ Will be done soon!"

She chuckled and pressed the reply button.

"@tiff_hwang take your time! Let me know when you've finished ^^"

They had been meeting each other every week for the past couple of months in addition to the daily messages and calls. Although Tiffany secretly wanted Taeyeon to just go ahead and make it official, she knew Taeyeon still had doubts so she was willing to wait patiently. She was satisfied with the fact that, so far, Taeyeon appeared to be different indeed. In a good way, of course.

The phone screen suddenly displayed a cute picture and a name Taeyeon knew so well, accompanied by her ringtone. She smiled as she answered the call. "Done?"

"No but I don't wanna do this anymore. Get me out of here! It's bad gadget day."

She laughed. "Bad gadget day?"

"First I dropped my phone. Then my laptop battery ran out faster than I could say Kim-Taeyeon-is-a-stuttering-nervous-lost-chick-who-flirts-shamelessly-and-eats-too-much-jelly even though I was sure that I've charged it all night."

"Yah!"

She ignored the protest. "So I have to use the computer at the workshop but the stupid thing just keeps freezing on me! And I lost my flash drive with all my backup files! Argh! I HATE THIS DAY!"

Taeyeon grimaced. "Why are you so loud?"

"Why are you still home?"

"Because you're not done yet."

"I'm done now so why are you still home?"

"You've just notified me a minute ago!"

"Then you should've gotten your short butt moving a minute ago!"

She sighed. "Fine. I'm on my way. Stay put."

"Hurry!"

"Okay! Bye!" She hung up and smiled. She had never felt happier.

Taeyeon put on her thick jacket then grabbed her wallet and keys. She picked up the paper bag from her desk on her way to the door, took out a scarf from it then wrapped it loosely around her neck. She rushed down the stairs, stuffing the wallet and phone in her pockets.

She was nervous and excited for tonight so she began to grip the rustling paper bag tighter. She only realized how crumpled it now looked when she placed it on the passenger seat. She frowned. It looks so shabby. She got out of the car and ran back inside the building to get her bag.

"What took you so long?!" Tiffany quickly sat down and closed the door. She shivered in her thick jacket.

"Good evening. Nice to see you too. And you're welcome."

She only rolled her eyes. "I'm hungry!" She put the seatbelt on.
