Tiffany ran all the way back to her dorm, wiping her tears several times as she run. She leans on her room door after she slammed it. She slowly sits on the ground and pours her sadness out. She looks above and took the withered flower that Taeyeon gave it to her. Even though Taeyeon told her to throw it away, she didn't. She hung it behind her bedroom door.

She cries and stares at the flowers.

"Tiffany.." Taeyeon's voice echoed back in her head during that time he gave her the flowers and chose her as the most beautiful girl in class. She smile bitterly and wipe her tears again.

Tiffany closes her eye for a moment and let out a breath. Then she threw the withered flowers far away.

This is the first time Tiffany ever feel that way to a guy. She has never expected her first love to be like this. She has never expected the one she love doesn't love her back. All of these are her wishful thinking. She blamed herself for being the one acting like an idiot, desperate for his love. She blamed her stupid confidence in asking Taeyeon that question she should have never asked.

The whole night she cries as she hides her face behind her knees. Sobs could be heard in the room echoing loudly. No one knows that room 108 has once cheerful beautiful girl crying because her heart is broken.

Taeyeon drags his feet back to the dorm. He has been thinking about Tiffany. Looking how broken is she just now makes him feel the same too. Taeyeon holds his tears until he reaches his dorm.

"Oh. You're back.. finally! How's your date??" Yuri smirks and grins at Taeyeon.

Taeyeon was busy thinking about Tiffany, thus he didn't hear Yuri talking to him. Yuri notices Taeyeon walks towards his room without taking a look at him. He feels angry.

"Alright buddy. You have to talk!" Yuri ran over and grab Taeyeon's arm, swinging Taeyeon around to face him.

"Huh..? What?"

"What happen? I've noticed it since yesterday. You.. you cried last night.."

Taeyeon was shocked. He didn't knew Yuri noticed he cried.

"Taeng. I'm your best friend. Tell me.." Yuri soften his tone at Taeyeon.

The boys went to the sofa and started talking. Taeyeon told Yuri he cried because he is afraid that he might fall in love with Tiffany. Yuri didn't get why at first. But after Taeyeon told him about his father, Yuri knew Taeyeon is afraid of hurting Tiffany. Like how his father hurt his mother.

"You're really stupid."

Taeyeon stares at the mat. He knows Yuri is right.

"You hurt a nice girl, Taeyeon.. That is really stupid of you.."

That night, Taeyeon kept staring at their one and only photo they took together and unknowingly slept with his phone on his hand.

The next day, Taeyeon and Yuri went to class a little later than usual. Taeyeon woke up late. By the time they arrived, they are already 5 minutes late for class.

"Sorry Ms Choi we are late." Yuri knocked the door and apologized. Followed by Taeyeon.

"I thought you guys are having fun outside. Since it's the first time, I'll let both of you off."

"Thank you Ms Choi" Yuri and Taeyeon said in union.

While taking their seats, Taeyeon noticed Tiffany's seat is empty. He immediately panics and starts to worry. He doesn't feel good about this.
