Black Blue and Gold

Chapter 1 (Part 10)

Welcome to the Team

The second night went smoothly as Taeyeon and Tiffany repeated the routine they had gone through the night before.

"Goodnight." Taeyeon left the bedroom.

She dialed Joonmyun's number. "Hey, how did it go? Did he talk?" She sat down on the couch, lying down and closing her eyes.

"No. He only asked for a lawyer. Yuri noona had told him what we're charging him with though."

"Okay good. Just let it sink in. I'll deal with him in the morning. You guys go home and get some rest."

"I'm already walking out of the station," Joonmyun said.

"Good. Yuri too?"

"Yes. She left a few minutes ago."

"Okay then. Thanks, Joonmyun."

"No problem. See you tomorrow, Noona."

Taeyeon hung up.

"Taeyeon?"

She sat up when she heard Tiffany's voice. She saw Tiffany standing at the bedroom door. "Why are you up?"

"Can we go visit Sooyoung tomorrow?"

"Sure. I'm planning to go see her too. During lunch maybe," Taeyeon answered.

"Okay then." Tiffany didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Taeyeon looked at Tiffany's confused face.

"I... err..." Tiffany changed her mind. "Nothing. Goodnight." She turned around and went back inside the bedroom.

Taeyeon raised her eyebrows. What was that about? She lay back down and closed her eyes. The events of the day tired her out and she fell asleep within minutes.

Tiffany sat down on the bed. She had wanted to sneak out to take a better look at his picture but then she heard Taeyeon on the phone. She thought she should ask for Taeyeon's permission but was afraid that it would only make things awkward between them again so she changed her mind.

She was curious though. She had a feeling that he was the reason behind Taeyeon's rapid changes of behavior and she knew she was almost never wrong.

Tiffany lay down carefully. After a near death experience and another threat on her life, she knew that life was too short to be filled with doubts and fears. She liked Taeyeon although she still wasn't sure to what extent. The only thing she was sure of was that she wanted Taeyeon to like her too. Now how am I supposed to make that happen?

Taeyeon quietly walked towards the bed. She kneeled down next to it. "Good morning," she said as she gently nudged Tiffany's upper arm. "Sorry to wake you but we have to be at the station in an hour."

Tiffany groaned, turning away from Taeyeon.

Taeyeon chuckled. She found this behavior cute. "Come on. Wake up, Fany." She stood up and slightly shook Tiffany's shoulder.

"Five more minutes..."

Taeyeon sat down on the edge of the bed. She nudged Tiffany's hip with her elbow. "Get up. You're not in school anymore, Miyoung."

"No Korean name," Tiffany mumbled. Her eyes were still closed.

Taeyeon chuckled. "Would you rather stay home today? I'll send one of the boys to accompany you."
