Incheon airport,

Taeyeon’s POV

Like I told Tiffany, I’d be waiting for her at the airport until she comes. And here I am, standing there and waiting for her. I told her to come before 1pm and it is already 11am…only 2 hours before it’s too late to board the plane. I came quite early today; I was already there at 9 in the morning. Of course, I knew she wouldn’t come this early, if she was to come but I wanted to be there, just in case.

Honestly, my mind wasn’t only thinking about Tiffany…I was also thinking about Sungmin. I’m not scared of him but I’m scared of the consequences. Soon, I’ll have to pay for my mistakes. When that day comes, I hope Fany will be by my side. I can’t win without her.

12pm…no Tiffany. I knew that if she doesn’t arrive on time then she won’t come at all. I’ve been standing for hours now and I admit that I’m tired. When I was starting to lose hope, I saw Tiffany. I haven’t seen her for a day only and I forgot how beautiful she was. Unfortunately, by looking at her demeanor, I didn’t know if I should be happy or not. Did she come just to break up with me? She wouldn’t do that right?

Every step that made her closer to me made me more nervous. I was scared that it might be the end. Tiffany was walking slowly and her face didn’t show any emotion at all. That was confusing and irritating not being able to guess what she was thinking or how she was feeling. Now I understand how Fany feels when I put on a blank face.

I took a deep breath when she stopped right in front of me. “Tiffany, I’m happy to see you” I said. Immediately, I thought my words were lame but I didn’t know what else to say.

Her face remained serious until she finally spoke. “First, let’s be clear about something” she started. “I’m going with you to Greece BUT it doesn’t mean that I’m not angry anymore”

For no reason, I couldn’t help but smile. “Okay and I’m still happy that you’re here”

“I’m serious Taeyeon, I’m still angry at you for lying to me!” she said but once again, I couldn’t help but smile.

“I know and I totally understand”

“So why are you smiling?” she said irritated.

“I’m just happy to see you again. I missed you” I said sincerely.

Tiffany didn’t smile but I knew she wanted to. She was just acting cold and weirdly, I found it amusing.

“Whatever. What about our luggage?” she asked me.

“Don’t worry about it. Do you have your passport?”

“Of course, so are we going?” she asked in an impatient voice.

The situation wasn’t funny but I couldn’t erase the smile on my face. I knew she was still angry but the fact that she acted cold was kinda cute.

We were walking to our gate when I tried to take her hand…and I totally didn’t expect her to reject me.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“I…”

“I’m serious Taeng, still angry!”

“Fine”

“So no hand-holding”

“No hand-holding”

“And no hug” she added.

“No hug” I repeated with a smile.

Then we sat down and looked at the plane we were going to take soon. None of us talked but it felt nice…having her by my side.
