Yes Tiffany had confessed, but that didn't mean things were finally coming to a happy ending. No, because they were far from that.
South Korea was unforgiving for same sex relationship and though more people had becoming more open to lgbt community, Tiffany was not ready to come out yet, and thus making it hard for Taeyeon and Tiffany to be with each other when they were in public.
In public, Tiffany was still that girl, friendly and obnoxiously pretty and had tons of popular friends. In public, Tiffany and Taeyeon were only close friends, and Taeyeon had to bear the burnt of jealousy when Tiffany flirted with some random boys at school.
No, Tiffany wasn't interested with them, and she didn't want anything with them. But she was keeping up her image, and although she did flirt with them, she didn't entertain their invites for dates, reasoning that she wanted to focus on her studies instead, while really, she was just interested with this one girl.
She knew she was hurting Taeyeon, but it wasn't like Taeyeon was out and proud either. Sunny, Taeyeon's best friend, had suspected the relationship between the two since forever, but even when Sunny had been Taeyeon's best friend for years couldn't change the fact that Taeyeon wouldn't bring herself to come out of her closet.
Their college life were pretty much like a backstreet relationship. Secret hook ups on Taeyeon's dorm room when Taeyeon's roommate was gone, fooling around at Tiffany's parents apartment on weekends, making out in Taeyeon's tinted Toyota car after a long drive, basically anywhere where the public wouldn't catch them.
Still, Tiffany was insecure because their meet up places were also had some risk, since there were also other people living in Taeyeon's dorm and Tiffany's apartment. The parking lot was also a risky place for hook ups and dates.
Fights were becoming inevitable. Both were so in love with each other yet both were also frustrated with each other.
It made Tiffany reluctant to be intimate with Taeyeon, especially when she was in her ovulating cycle since she was paranoid that Taeyeon would make her pregnant. She was still unsure about their relationship and to make it worse Taeyeon didn't make her feel assured about the future.
But, holy god, was the sex was so good.
The fact that Tiffany had been taking birth control pills regularly and the fact that Taeyeon was always fucking her with condoms didn't change the fact that the sex was simply the most earth shattering – hair ripping – amazing sex.
It was like an endless cycle. Taeyeon got jealous, they fought, then they had make up sex. Tiffany got frustrated with college stuff, they fought again, and they would had make up sex.
Like that one time when Tiffany was alone at the apartment because her parents went away for the night. Tiffany was nose deep in her project, and Taeyeon came to her apartment with good intention, cooking food for her girl, which was left untouched despite Taeyeon's effort of reminding the taller woman to eat for several times into the evening. Needless to say that the shorter woman was upset, it wasn't that she was upset that her effort went to waste, but it was more to how Tiffany couldn't take care of herself.
They ended up shouting at each other, and Taeyeon ran away from the apartment, leaving Tiffany alone with her project. Honestly, the taller woman didn't really care, she felt like she needed to focus on meeting her deadline, and anyway she could eat later. Eating was not her priority at that moment and neither was Taeyeon, because to her, at that moment, Taeyeon had overreacted, and Tiffany was the right one.
