Triple Play: Part 3

Triple Play: Part 3 – Drown

"Good night, Tiffany. Get home safely." The old man waved to the bowing young woman before walking away, towards his car. He unlocked the door and had just pulled the handle when he heard a car roar past behind him. Turning around, he saw a silver sedan stopping abruptly in front of the clinic doors.

Doctor Park furrowed his brows, contemplating on whether he should tell the driver to be more careful, when he saw a familiar woman stumbling out of the vehicle with a bouquet of flowers. He immediately smiled then shook his head before stepping inside his car and drove away.

Taeyeon nearly tripped but regained her balance and managed to get out of the car unharmed. She ran towards the waiting Tiffany while hiding the bouquet behind her back.

"I'm sorry I'm late! I got held up at work because that annoying boss of mine couldn't stop yapping in that boring meeting and traffic was suddenly crazy and my phone ran out of battery so I couldn't call you to tell you that I was going to be late and I-mmphmmhmm..."

She stopped talking when Tiffany grabbed her face and kissed her. Her body instantly relaxed and she considerably calmed down in that short few seconds, smiling when Tiffany released her.

"Breathe. You're just ten minutes late. It's okay."

"But I made you stand out here alone for ten minutes."

"I had a chat with the receptionist and the doctor while I waited. No big deal, Taetae." Tiffany moved her hands up Taeyeon's face, fixing the disheveled hair. "Did you speed all the way here?"

"Err..."

"That's dangerous. I'd rather have you late but whole. Don't do that again, okay? I don't know what I'd do if anything happens to you."

Taeyeon grinned at that. "Okay. I promise to drive safely from now on."

"Good." Tiffany then noticed the colors behind Taeyeon's back. "What's that?"

Taeyeon showed Tiffany the bouquet of pink roses. "Happy first meeting anniversary."

"What?"

"We first met last year today, right here at this very building."

Tiffany began to smile widely as she took the flowers. "You're cheesy."

"Yes, I am. If I could, I'd celebrate everything we've done so far but since that might be impossible for my limited memory, and not to mention my insufficient resources, I'll pick a few things and probably surprise you from time to time."

"Feel free to do so." Tiffany gave Taeyeon another peck and smiled when Taeyeon pulled her into a hug. "But don't feel like you're required to do anything. I'm happy with just you and your love."

Taeyeon had to laugh, curling her fingers behind Tiffany's back. "Who's the cheesy one now?"

"Let's call it even for tonight. Now come on, your car is blocking the entrance."

"Isn't it a bit late for a walk?" asked Tiffany as she unbuckled her seatbelt. "You've just recovered from that cold, I don't want you to get sick again from the evening wind."

"I'll be fine. I need the light exercise and some fresh air," answered Taeyeon who then patted Tiffany's thigh. "Let's go."

Tiffany got out of the car then went around to the other side where Taeyeon was waiting for her with an extended hand. She grabbed Taeyeon's arm instead, clinging to her as close as she could as they began walking.
