Taeyeon joined her friends in the kitchen. Her friends and girlfriend were sitting and talking at the table. For whatever reason, the fact that Jessica was an idol didn’t faze Tiffany or Sunny at all. They just dealt with the facts of life that came with the complicated-ness that was Taeyeon. Taeyeon pocketed looked at the note from Hyoyeon once more. On the back it had the exact meeting time: 6PM. Before announcing her entrance, Taeyeon pocketed the note.
“Hey, did you guys figure out what you wanted for dinner?” Taeyeon asked as she stepped into the room.
Sunny shrugged. “Not really. We’re debating between chicken and pizza. Do you care?”
“Chicken sounds good to me.”
Jessica did a small victory dance in her seat. “Yes! Tied 2 to 2.”
“Poo…I was hoping we could get pizza.”
“We can do both.” Tiffany suggested.
“There aren’t enough of us to finish that much food.” Sunny said. “Can we please just get pizza from Super Pizza?”
“But Chicken Jr. is so good…” Taeyeon replied.
Jessica stood up. “I have an idea! Let’s invite Sooyoung and Yoona. Then there will be 6 people, and we can get both.”
Tiffany popped up from her seat, too. “Genius!” Tiffany and Jessica high-fived each other. “Get them over here so we can eat, girl!” Tiffany proceeded to call Super Pizza, while Jessica called Sooyoung and Yoona. Sunny called Chicken Jr., leaving Taeyeon free to just sit and think for a minute.
“I need to go pick up Sooyoung and Yoona. I’ll be back in a little while.” Jessica gave Taeyeon another kiss on the cheek before heading out the door.
“Be careful!” Taeyeon yelled as Jessica shut the door. Taeyeon took Jessica’s seat gleefully and relaxed a bit knowing that everything at home seemed to have gotten better. Not enough to forget Hyoyeon’s little message, but enough to know that she no longer had to pretend around her friends.
“So,” Tiffany asked as she slid her chair next to Taeyeon, “What’s it like dating Jessica?”
“It’s nice, but I can’t see her as often as I want.” There was an obvious blush creeping onto Taeyeon’s face, but she didn’t care. “Just don’t make this super public, please? We don’t want a lot of attention about us...”
“We wont!”
The girls continued to chat while Jessica was off getting Sooyoung and Yoona. Time passed quickly and Jessica returned sooner than expected. “Hello~!” She said as she returned to the kitchen. Taeyeon scooted to the side so that Jessica could share her seat.
There was a round of exchanges filled with awe and excitement. With the entirety of ZoNE in Taeyeon’s house, Tiffany and Sunny were starting to get star-struck. Taeyeon leaned into Jessica and quietly asked “Is that how I was when I first met you three?”
“Not really.” Jessica let Taeyeon rest her head on her shoulder. Everyone continued to talk while waiting for the food to arrive. The doorbell rang and Taeyeon stood up to get the door.
“Uh, delivery of two pizzas for Tiffany?” Said the man at the door. He was a really handsome looking guy.
Taeyeon stared for a moment before accepting the food and paying the man. He had dyed his hair blond, which made him stand out quite a bit. Taeyeon could see he had a nice build even with long sleeves covering his arms. “Thanks, how much is it again?” Taeyeon asked.
The man showed Taeyeon the receipt as Taeyeon pulled out some money. The two exchanged food for money. “Have a nice day!” Said the man before he turned to leave. Taeyeon shut the door and walked into the kitchen with the two boxes of deliciousness. “How much longer until the chicken gets here?” She asked as she put the boxes on the kitchen counter.
