"So how was your test?" Tiffany asked into her phone as she balanced it between her ear and her shoulder and tried to pour herself some water at the same time. Taeyeon sighed dejectedly and nodded on her end of the line while she fiddled with the ends of her workbook. "It was ok I guess, tough…I don't wanna think about it…" Tae sighed sadly.
"Yah well it's over now! Why don't you stay over here tonight? Just you and me?" Tiff asked with a bite of her lip and a smile. They had been dating for about a year and a half now and it had become tradition for Tae to sleep over on at least Friday night at Tiff's apartment.
"That sounds amazing baby…I'll see you soon, I'm gonna grab us some dinner on the way ok?" Tae said as she stood up and stretched tiredly, clicking her neck. "Yeah sure…I've missed you this week…actually I…" Tiff trailed off before sighing heavily into the phone. "Yah baby, what's wrong?" Tae asked in concern.
"I just…it sounds stupid but I miss home…" Tiff said with a sad laugh. Tae frowned sadly, trying to understand Tiff's perspective. Yes, they were both living away from home with Tae's family in Jeonju but Tiff was thousands of miles away with none of her family even checking if she was alright. Tae gulped when she realised that she would have to fill that role for Tiff, she would have to be her family. "I'll be there soon ok? Hang tight baby," Tae said before getting dressed to head over to Tiff's apartment.
"Knock knock!" Tae called cheerfully from the door. Tiff swung her door open and found Tae with the cutest chin-dimpled grin on her face as she held up a brown paper bag with a familiar logo on it. Tae had bought them an all-American meal of cheese burgers and fries. "Oh my god baby! You're the sweetest!" Tiff exclaimed, wrapping Tae up in a warm hug as she thanked her for buying the one meal that reminded her so much of home.
Tae stepped inside and left the food on the dining room table as Tiff wrapped her arms around her waist and snuggled into her. "You're the best Tae…thanks for making me feel better baby…" Tiff said as she leaned in to kiss Tae's cheek.
Tae smiled and turned her body so that she could cup Tiff's neck and place a sweet kiss on her lips. Tae kissed her lips and sniggered as Tiff slid her maroon beanie off her head and tossed it on the table before running her fingers through Tae's pepperro hair.
"Mmm…Fany hold on…aren't you hungry?" Tae chuckled out before unwrapping Tiff's arms from around her waist and lacing their fingers together and pulling away from her lips. "Yeah...I guess we should eat…but I've missed you..." Tiff mumbled against Tae's lips playfully. Tae sniggered and intertwined their fingers before kissing Tiff's hand. "I've missed you likke crazy! But we have all night! We need to spend time together too baby..." Tae said with a tilt of her head, trying to sound logical. Tiff nodded with a pout, agreeing with Tae's point that their relationship was definitely not only based on the sex but on their emotional connection.
They ate at the table and Tae listened intently as Tiff shared some stories about her life back in America. "Oh my gosh, my mom was the coolest! She would've loved you! I can picture you two sharing dirty jokes and making fun of me!" Tiff laughed out, making Tae give an ahjumma laugh.
There was a slight pause before Tae took Tiff's hand and kissed her skin before leaning in to kiss her lips. "Wae?" Tiff asked, smiling at Tae's sudden sentimental behaviour. "Anniyo…it's just…you're amazing Fany…you're so strong and you talk about your mother with so much love and admiration even though I know you miss her deeply. It takes a lot of courage to be so open and positive about her life…" Tae said as she kissed Tiff's hand again.
