Heaven only knows where you been. But I don't really need to know. I know where you're gonna go

Taeyeon sighed again for the nth time that day when she finally found the person she was looking for. Her first love.

She walked closer to the girl who was carrying a flower bouquet, facing a flat headstone. When the girl glanced back over her shoulder, Taeyeon felt her heart stopped for a beat as their gazes met each other's. Taeyeon continued her walk closer to the girl before she also squatted in an arm-reach far from the squatting girl.

Since 7 years ago, Taeyeon has always know where to find her whenever she's trying to run away from everything. Even though Taeyeon knew it would hurt herself so bad, she would still go and find her first love there. In her first love's first love's 'place'.

That time too, Taeyeon's heart was breaking at the sight of her first love's mournful state. Taeyeon saw how her eyes were glistening with tears, how she kept on biting her lip just to stop herself from crying. And how her hand was supporting her beautiful face by her cheek.

But it was a whole lot better than the previous years. Taeyeon was there for her when she cried all night long, Taeyeon was there to feed her even though she was pushed away countless times, and Taeyeon was always there to stop her from following her past lover.

It was a lot better that time. There were no tears spilled, and as usual, no words needed.

A small but comforting smile broke out in Taeyeon's face when she was faced with a bitter smile from the latter. Then a hand was reaching out for Taeyeon. She didn't waste even a second to hold it, and giving it encouraging grips along with another smile.

They needed no words.

And the best part was Taeyeon knew that it also goes the same way for the latter.

They stood up at the same time, and walked to Taeyeon's old jeep hand in hand with no words to be heard.

Driving away, Taeyeon couldn't help but to steal glances to the passenger on her side every minute, or every second possible. She still looked stressed, with her hand supporting her head that Taeyeon believed was filled with thoughts of her past lover. And like usual, her leg was up folded in the seat, and the other one was up the dashboard.

"You're gonna end up crashing the car if you keep on looking at me instead of the road"

Finally.. a voice Taeyeon was dying to hear. Taeyeon snapped out of her daydream and smiled shyly when she also saw a smile from the latter. She diverted her gaze back to the road while her mind was still daydreaming about that girl's smile. Probably it was because Taeyeon was still got a little hint of hangover from last night, but Taeyeon really liked that smile. It seemed like the brightest she had ever seen, and ofcourse it made her heart race faster.

"I'm a pro" Taeyeon replied with still the same shy smile, and she was soon got a reply in a form of a chuckle.

Her heart felt like bursting anytime soon. She looked at her left hand that was out of the window, fingers playing with the wind, reminiscing the feel of the hand that held hers earlier.

How Taeyeon wished she could make the latter laugh daily that easy. But, oh—if she really want that to happen, she had to hard practice not to crash herself instead everytime she hear that voice and see her smile. She still wasn't too much of a pro in that field.
