Taeyeon stands still unmoving from her place.
Yuri hands her the car keys to her Benz. “Take her home.”
Jessica takes Tiffany, whose still wrapped up in the sheets, guiding her to the car outside and they drive off.
“Clean yourself. I’ll be outside waiting.” Yuri says with a hint of anger at Taeyeon.
A few minutes later.
Taeyeon emerges from her room after showering and getting dressed. She out to join Yuri who is standing outside on the patio.
“What were you think?” Yuri hisses at her without looking at her.
“I don’t know.” Taeyeon says honestly.
“You’re not like this. Why did you do it?”
“I was angry okay.”
“You were angry okay but you’ve never done that to other girls that have done worst to you. So why her?” Yuri demanded.
There is no response.
This time Yuri turns to face her friend. “I know that you’re better than that. What I don’ t get is why you did it?”
“I don’t know.” is all Taeyeon says.
“I’m not even sure if I know you anymore.” Yuri says with some sadness.
Taeyeon finally looks at her. “What do you want me to say? What-what do you want me to do?
“If you can’t tell me why you did it then tell me why of all the girls that have offered themselves to you, humiliated you, insulted you, worst than what Tiffany did, you didn’t take advantage of them or force them like you did to her. So, why her? Why Tiffany?” Yuri questioned.
Taeyeon doesn’t say anything as she just looks away and stares out into the ocean.
…
At Tiffany and Jessica’s place.
They enter the house and Jessica guides Tiffany to her room over to the bed and seated her there. Tiffany hadn’t said anything on the way back and she didn’t want to force her so she didn’t ask.
Tiffany just sat there sad.
“Fany-ah.” Jessica says softly almost to a whisper.
This catches the girl’s attention. “Hmm.”
“Let’s get you cleaned up okay?”
Tiffany didn’t respond, she just gave a slight small nod at her best friend.
Jessica guided her to the bathroom and turned on some warm water for Tiffany.
Slowly she unwraps the sheet from around Tiffany and slowly guides her into the tub.
Gently she takes the sponge and slowly washes Tiffany down. Tiffany stares off into space not really being present. Jessica looks at her with worry.
They finish and head back to the bedroom where Jessica fixes clothes on her.
They sit in silence for what seems like hours before Jessica breaks the silence.
“Fany-ah?”
Tiffany greets her with silence.
“Fany-ah, please talk me. I’m your best friend.” Jessica pleaded. “At least look at me please.”
After some hesitation, Tiffany finally looks up at her best friend. Tears form in her eyes.
Without words, looking back at her friend, Jessica understood and got up and rushed over to hug her friend into a tight embrace.
“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you.” Jessica repeats. “I’m so sorry.”
The two best friends hug each other as they cry.
The day has gone by pretty fast and it’s already evening.
Jessica and Tiffany lay on the roof and stare at the stars.
A moment of silence before Jessica cuts it.
“Fany. About Taeyeon and you…what…?” Jessica asks carefully.
“What about Taeyeon and I?” Tiffany says with a defeated voice.
She knew Jessica wouldn’t let her get away with it. She decided it’s better to talk about now with her than hold it in and not talk about it.
“Are you okay? How are you?”
“Honestly I don’t know Sica-ah. But if you want to know if I’m angry, mad, pissed, all I can say is that I’m tired and sad.”
“I’m sorry.” Jessica said with sadness.
Tiffany turns to face her and Jessica also turns to meet her gaze.
“I’m okay. Stop apologizing.”
“I know but I promised your mom that I would take care of you and protect you but I failed.”
The girl said as she burst into tears.
Tiffany pulled the girl close to her and kissed her temple. “I’m okay Sica. I’m okay.” She repeats as she rubs the girl’s arm up and down trying to soothe her.
Jessica ceases her crying and looks up at her. “I’ll do whatever I can to protect you from now on.”
Tiffany lets out a small smile to play on her lips while looking at the girl in her arms.
“Okay. I’ll hold you to that.”
“I wish I knew what to do.” Jessica said.
“We all do.” Tiffany repeats the words. “We all do.”
With that, the two of them lay on the roof hugging each other as they both fall asleep.
…
At Taeyeon’s beach house.
They are sitting outside on the patio watching the waves of the ocean crashing onto the shore as they sit for w while in silence.
Than Yuri decides to break the silence.
“Say something more than ‘I don’t know’” Yuri was now getting impatient.
“What do you want to hear? Huh?”
“Taeyeon –ah, I’ve known you for years. Tell me the truth. Did you really do it for revenge or did you do it because you can?” Yuri stated.
Taeyeon turns to face her.
“She insulted me and embarrassed me.” Taeyeon reasoned.
“Stop dodging the questions and just tell me truthfully.”
Taeyeon sits in silence pondering.
Yuri breaks her thoughts.
“Tae-ah, remember what you told me when we were kids?”
Taeyeon raises an eyebrow at her.
Yuri continues. “You told me that when you found the one you love you’d kiss her and give her all your love without a second…even if it was just meeting her for the first time.”
Taeyeon doesn’t say anything and just continues to stare at her. A smile slowly started to form across Yuri’s lips.
“So you didn’t just do it rashly and without thinking, huh.” It was more of a statement than a question.
“Whatever. It was nothing.” Taeyeon stated plainly.
Yuri laughs at her. “If it was nothing than why are you sulking?”
Taeyeon ignores her and looks back out to the ocean.
“Somewhere deep beyond that hard exterior you like her don’t you? Yuri asks.
Taeyeon scoffs. “Like her? What’s to like about her? There’s nothing to like.”
“You like her toughness and how she wasn’t scared to call you out on things. You liked how she wasn’t afraid to stand up to you in front of everyone despite
knowing you’re the heiress. Don’t you?”
“Whatever. Could you stop talking.” It was more a command than question Taeyeon threw at Yuri.
“Come to think of it, she’s actually really cute. Maybe I’ll go after her instead then.” Yuri suggests. “I mean was she at least a good lay? If she was maybe I could…”
“YAH! KWON YURI.” Taeyeon warned.
Yuri lets out a laugh at her best friend.
“And you said she was nothing? HA. Tae-ah you’re so full of it.”
“Whatever.” Taeyeon mumbles.
“I’m your best friend. You can tell me anything.” Yuri says with a huge smile.
Taeyeon lets out a heavy sigh. “You’re impossible.”
“C’mon tell me.”
“You’re really not gonna let it until I answer you are you?”
“Tae-ah, you should know me by now. Of course.” Yuri says continuing to annoy her.
Still no answer.
“Well then tell me this. Do you regret it?”
Taeyeon thinks about it. She thinks about seeing her with the old lady at the hospital and the sweet smile she gave the old lady to the bar when she was cold and tough to when she was sleeping peacefully in her bed with so much glow.
Yuri could only stare at her wondering what is going in Taeyeon’s head right now but only left clueless.
Her thoughts are cut short by Taeyeon’s voice.
“No.” Taeyeon turns to face her. “No regrets.”
'I don't regret it at all. Why? I don't know...I don't know.' Taeyeon thinks to herself.
NOTHING!
The next morning came. Taeyeon and Yuri fell asleep outside on the patio as they were talking late last night.
…
Tiffany and Jessica too fell asleep on the roof outside while they were chatting and star gazing all night.
…
Yuri wakes up and nudges Taeyeon.
“Tae. It’s morning wake up.”
Taeyeon groans sitting up and rubs her eyes.
“Mmm. What time is it?” Taeyeon asks with a husky tone.
“It’s around 9.” Yuri says looking at her watch.
Taeyeon stretches cracking of bones could be heard.
“Ah, Tae, what are you going to do about Tiffany?” Yuri asked.
“What about her?” Taeyeon said nonchalantly.
“Yah. KIM TAEYEON. Did you forget about what you did?”
“Already forgotten. Besides I have a date with Gyuri later tonight.” Taeyeon said.
Yuri was in shock at Taeyeon’s sudden change in mood. Last night she was sure she was gonna get her assed kicked when she mentioned hitting on Tiffany but then today she acts as if nothing ever happened between them.
“Tae?” Yuri asked but sounded more like a warning.
“It was nothing but revenge.”
“Okay, whatever you say. I just hope you won’t regret it later on.”
With that said, Yuri gets up and leaves Taeyeon to her thoughts.
‘Psh. Whatever Kwon Yuri. I’m the heiress I do what I want and I get what I want.’ Taeyeon says to herself.
Taeyeon than too heads inside after Yuri.
…
Tiffany wakes up first and as her eyes adjust to the warm sunlight she realizes that they had fallen asleep on the roof. She looks over and sees that Jessica is still asleep. She chuckles.
‘Still the sleeping beauty she’s always been.’ Tiffany smiles at the thought.
“Sica.” Tiffany says gentle shaking her. “Sica. Wake up.”
Jessica doesn’t move and only mumbles. “5 more minutes Miyoung-ah.”
Tiffany’s eyes widen at the mention of her name. “YAH! JUNG SOOYEON!”
Tiffany yells.
Jessica quickly snaps up and in the process falls of the bench and onto the floor.
Tiffany’s mouth drops open but she quickly covers it trying not to laugh. She rushes over to help the girl up.
“OMO. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you fall.”
“Fany-ah, why did you do that?” Jessica asks rubbing her butt with a pout.
But her out quickly fades turning into a smile as she sees Tiffany trying not to laugh but can’t help it. She was just happy to see that the girl was smiling and that she had forgotten about what happened the day before.
Tiffany’s voice breaks her thoughts. “C’mon let’s go get ready and head out to get some breakfast.”
Jessica nods and they head on back inside the house to get ready.
A few minutes later they step out of the house and realize that they still have Yuri’s car. Tiffany looks at Jessica.
“She won’t mind if we take it for a spin.” Jessica says casually and walks over to the driver side.
Tiffany looks at her with a raised brow. “Sica. Are you sure? I mean, we should return her car.”
“I’m sure I’ll see her later anyways so it’s okay. C’mon I’m getting hungry.”
No protesting, Tiffany gets into the passenger side and head out.
Not long after they arrive at the OMG bakery shop. They walk on in and get
themselves some sweet bakery and coffee to go with it. Then they seat themselves at one of the open tables to eat and chat.
“So, what’s on your agenda tonight?” Jessica asks as she takes a bite from her muffin.
Tiffany just looks at her confused. “Huh?”
“Do you want to do something today? I could get someone to cover my shift for me and we can go where ever you want today.” Jessica suggests.
“Ah, that’s sweet of you Jessica but it’s okay. Maybe some other time.” Tiffany responds not wanting to burden Jessica.
“Are you sure? I mean it’s not a big deal.”
“Yeah.” Before she could continue her phone rings and she goes to pick it up.
“Hello?” Tiffany answers. “Oh, oppa? Yeah?”
Jessica stares at her while sipping on her coffee and picking her muffin.
“Ah, sorry. I forgot. Thank you for calling me to remind me though.”
Jessica mouths at her. “Who is it?”
Tiffany raises a finger at Jessica to hold on a second.
“Yah. I’ll see you later tonight then. Okay then. Bye.” Tiffany finishes and hangs up the phone.
“Who was that?” Jessica asked curiously.
“Oh, Siwon oppa. He just called to remind me of tonight. I totally forgot about it.”
“Ah. I’m so jealous. I want to go on a date too.” Jessica expresses in envious.
Tiffany lets out a small chuckle.
Jessica brightens up and flashes her a smile. Tiffany turns her attention to her coffee sitting in front of her. Jessica’s smile quickly fades and she gets all serious.
“Fany-ah.” Jessica says softly causing the girl to look up at her. “Are you doing it to avoid what happened with Taeyeon?”
Tiffany just looks at her frown at the mention of the name.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to bring it up causing you sadness. I just want to know what you’re thinking? I mean, are you really okay? All the smiles and now a date?”
Tiffany continues to stay silent but looks down and stirs her coffee endlessly.
“Fany, I’m your best friend. You can tell me anything. If you don’t want to see Siwon tonight tell me and I can tell him you’re busy. Whatever it is you can tell me. Please don’t shut me out.” Jessica asks with sadness behind her voice.
Tiffany looks up at her best friend and notices that tears are forming. She didn’t know what to do. She was at a lost for everything. Honestly, she didn’t want to do anything but curl up and cry endlessly but she didn’t want to burden her friend.
Tiffany reaches out and grabs Jessica’s hand and grips it tightly. Jessica never once looks away. Tiffany lets out a sigh and small smile.
“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me okay? If I don’t want to stay at my date, I’ll just tell Siwon oppa he’ll understand and I’ll call you and you can come pick me up okay?”
Jessica decides not to push the girl and just nods at her giving her hand a squeeze.
…
She had taken a cab after her talk with Taeyeon this morning back to the city. She was walking down the sidewalk looking for a shop that had something good to eat when she saw her car.
She walked over to it. ‘Did she abandon my car here?’
She then looked around and in front of her, she saw Jessica and Tiffany through the glass holding hands.
She sees them holding hands and smiling at each other, she began to grow furious.
Just as she was about to enter the place, she saw a guy walk up to them.
Jessica released her hand from Tiffany to which she was relieved but now Jessica is hugging that guy. Wait. It’s the guy from the other night.
…
In the bakery shop.
They were just holding hands and smiling at each other until someone walked up to them.
“Hey girls.” The gentleman said.
They turned to look at him. Jessica let go of Tiffany and got up giving him a hug.
“Oh My Gosh! Taecyeon-ah, I’m so sorry you were left alone at the club the other night.”
They pulled back and he smiled at her. Tiffany just continued to look at them.
“It’s okay. I left after you did. Anyways, what are you doing tonight?” Taecyeon asked.
“Uh, not much. I work later.” Jessica said sadly.
“That’s okay. How about I stop by later and pick you up and we can go for some midnight snacks?” He asked with a smile.
All of a sudden the doors of the shop opened and Yuri walked in furious over to Jessica and grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away from them and out the door.
…
Outside.
“Oh Yuri-ah.”
Yuri scoffs at her. “So, you were quick to come back to see your boy toy huh?”
After the incident, Jessica decided she wanted nothing more to do with Yuri or Taeyeon.
“Yeah, so what? You’re just as a jerk as your friend. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
Yuri grabs her and pulls her close to her and smirks at her. “You’re right. You’re nothing but a game to me and I’ll do whatever I want with you just like Taeyeon did to your friend.”
Jessica pulls back and slaps Yuri in the face and then knees her in the stomach.
Yuri falls to the ground clutching at herself.
Taecyeon and Tiffany who was watching from inside have now come out to join them. They walked up to join Jessica.
“Sica, what’s going on?” Tiffany asked.
“No. Nothing at all.” Jessica replied then took out the keys and tossed them on the ground nest to her. “This is yours.”
That was the last thing she said before the three of them left.
…
After Jessica had left for work, Tiffany had broken down and cried her heart out.
She was sad and hurt and angry yet she couldn’t do anything but cry as hard as she could. “Umma, I miss you so much.” She continued to cry out. “Why? Why”
She was so exhausted from crying she fell asleep before so she could meet up with Siwon later.
…
Later that night.
Taeyeon and Gyuri were on their date at one of the nicest and most expensive restaurants in the city.
“Taeyeon-ah, where were you the last two nights? I really missed you.” Gyuri complained with such cuteness.
“Oh, I was busy with other things.” Taeyeon answered expressionless.
“Well, you should’ve called me. I could’ve came over and helped you relax after a long day.” Gyuri said with a seductress voice.
“Oh, keudae?” Taeyeon said with no emotions behind it and continued to eat.
“TAE-AH!”
Taeyeon looked up at her. “Mmm.”
“Pay some attention to me.” Gyuri whined.
“I’m here aren’t I?” Taeyeon says putting down her fork.
Gyuri decides to change the subject. “How about we go somewhere fun after this?”
Taeyeon looked at her with no interest but Gyuri continues to ramble on about what she wants to do and what they should do.
Taeyeon lets out a breath of annoyance and looks away. But just as she rolls her head to the side something catches her eyes.
