Entangled in

26. Reunited

Taeyeon's POV

I put on my jacket, poured the hot coffee in my glass and went out. I watched the dark sky and wondered what she's doing. If she still thinks about me because I can't stop thinking about her. I know this is my choice, this has been my dream since I was little, but why do I feel so empty?

"Hey doc" I heard a voice from behind.

I turned around and saw Amber "Hey. What are you doing here? Why aren't you home?"

"Oh, I decided to stay with Krystal. She's asleep and my back is hurting from sleeping on the chair so I decided to get some fresh air."

She looked at me "How are you, Doc?"

"I'm fine"

"Sorry about you and Tiff"

I shook my head "It's okay. You can't have everything."

Amber stood next to me, looked at the sky and said, "Dreams, even fulfilled ones, is it still going to be that beautiful if you have no one to share it with?"

I knew what she wanted to say.

I looked at ger as she said, "Work, it's always there. You dreamed about helping people, there will always be people to help, no matter where you are, no matter what language you speak. A person that makes you happy, that makes you laugh, that makes you believe that everything you do has a meaning, is rate. And once you find that person, you shouldn't let go that easily."

She stretched her body and yawned "But considering that all came from a very dense person, you are free to ignore it." She smiled and said "See you around, Doc"

I nodded.

The first thing I did once I got home was pick up the phone, I dialed her number and said, "Seohyun, I have an offer to make"

Tiffany's POV

I wiped the sweat on Dad's forehead. He just had another seizure. I washed my hand and went into my room. It was a mess. I need to clean up and as I did that I stumble on an old photo of me and Tae. I turned it upside down, It's over between us. She choose work over me. I don't blame her though, I know how hard she worked to be where she is now. Her Mom raised her alone and worked three part times jobs. Tae worked since she was in high school. I understand that she doesn't want to start all over again.

I frowned as I heard the bell ring. Who could that be?

My heart stopped beating when I saw the very person I think about stand in front of me.

"I'm sorry" she said "I'm sorry for leaving like that. I can't be without you Ppany, everything was empty without you. I want to start again with you. Can you please forgive me?

My tears starts to fall down. She was taken aback.

"I'm sorry. I understand if you can't forgive me. I'll leave now. Goodbye l"

Slap!

My hand was shaking after I slapped her. I didn't mean to, but my hand moved on it's own. I wasn't mad, maybe it was the frustration.

She looked at me with big eyes, holding her cheek.

"Why did you give up so easily on us?" I started to sob.

"Ppany...."

"Do you know how much I cried because of you?"

"I'm sorry"

"I HATE YOU"

She froze at my words and moved a few step back.

"I'm sorry" she cried "I don't deserve you, I know. I'm sorry for hurting you"

She was crying so hard I could barely understand what she was saying. I can't hold mu feeling anymore, I crashed my lips on hers.

"I love you. I can't stop loving you" I whispered to her as I broke the kiss "Don't give up on me that easily again"

She held me tight "I'll never ever let you go again. NEVER." She kissed my lips "Can we start all over again, Ppany?"

I nodded "What about your work?"

"I gave up my practice to Seohyun. I want to be here with you"

"Tae, we can try to work this out without you having to live here"

"No, we tried, remember? I don't want to feel thay ever again"

"You sure?"

She nodded.

"What made you change your mind?"

"Can I come in?" She said "I'll tell you all about it"

"Oh, sorry, sure"

"How's your Dad?"

I shook my head.

She put her luggage in my room and sat herself on my bed.

"I guess we need to catch up a lot"

"We do" I said "But before that...." I snuggled with her and rested my head on her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around me "Can we just stay like this for a while?"

She kissed my forehead and said, "I love you Tiffany Hwang"

"And I love you Kim Taeyeon. Don't let me go"

"I won't. I promise."

Meanwhile in Korea, Amber took Krystal home, feeling a little awkward with each other. Amber braced herself as they were in the bedroom and said "Krys, about yesterday"

"What about it?" Krystal looked in Amber's eyes

"What I wanted to say to you." She took a deep breath and opened her mouth "Krys, I I— lo"

DING DONG!

Amber groaned and slapped her own forehead. This is a curse, she said to herself.

Krystal laughed "Go get the door"

DING DONG!

Uuuuuggghhhhhh this must be a premonition, can I please confess without someone interrupting?! Amber cursed all her way to the door

"Who is it?!" She yelled in frustration as she opened the door and gulped as she saw who stood there.

The blonde girl smirked and said, "Hello Dork. We meet again"
