Tonight came faster than she wanted.
Tiffany was going through her wardrobe looking for something to wear.
Jessica walks into the room and finds her head covered with a shirt from Tiffany’s tossing. Her room was now filled with clothes all over the place.
Jessica pulls the shirt off her head and tosses it onto Tiffany’s head covering her head this time. Tiffany pulls the shirt off and turns around to find Jessica standing by the doorway with her hands on her hips.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m looking for something nice to wear. Siwon oppa set me up with this friend of his tonight and I have nothing to wear.” Tiffany says.
Jessica looks around the room. “Nothing to wear? Seriously? You have more than enough to wear missy.”
Tiffany looks around before turning back to her and giving her an innocent smile.
“Oops.”
“Well, what’s he like?” Jessica said while making her way over to the bed and sitting on it.
“I don’t know. It’s more of a blind date so to speak.”
“Jessica grabs the least pink outfit from the pile and hands it to her. “Here.”
It was a white dress about knee length and crossed at the neck.
Tiffany looks at her with a raised eyebrow. “That one?”
“Trust me. This dress says I’m cute but sexy.”
Hesitating for a minute or two but she complies and grabs it heading into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Tiffany steps out of the bathroom with the dress on and her hair swept to the side. She looked gorgeous. So gorgeous that anyone who saw her would fall head over heels in love with her.
“Wow. You look gorgeous. Will you date me?” Jessica asks.
Tiffany giggles at her friend’s silly remark.
“I would but you have someone already.” Tiffany winks at her.
On that note, Jessica’s phone starts ringing.
“Hello?”
“Hey you. What are you doing right now?”
“Nothing. Why?” Jessica asked curiously.
“I want to take you out tonight. Is that okay with you?” the person asked.
“Of course.” Jessica replied quickly and joyously.
“Alright. I’ll see in a few then.”
“I’ll see you soon too. Bye Yuri.” Jessica hangs up.
Tiffany looks at her. “I see you have a date yourself missy. Go. Go get ready.”
Jessica beamed and walked out of the room.
Tiffany smiled at her silly friend before turning back to the mirror to finish her make-up. While she was smiling and fixing her make-up, Taeyeon’s image popped up into her head.
Tiffany snapped back from the mirror and shook her head. ‘Why am I thinking about that jerk? No. No thinking of her.’
Tiffany finished up and headed downstairs to wait for her date.
After an hour or two, Jessica also emerged from her room and joined Tiffany on the couch.
“So, where is she taking you?” Tiffany asked.
“I don’t know. She didn’t say.”
“Ah, must be nice huh?”
“What is?” Jessica asked confused.
“To have someone treat you nicely.” Tiffany said with a hint of sadness.
Jessica scooted closer to her and hugged her from the side, leaning her head on Tiffany’s shoulder.
“Ah, Fany-ah, I don’t know about that but I hope so.”
Tiffany lays her head on top of Jessica’s.
“She better treat you right or she’ll get it coming to her.”
Jessica giggled at that and lifts her head up to look at Tiffany.
“Fany-ah, are you okay with this date tonight?” she asked worriedly.
Tiffany smiles at her. “I’ll call you if I’m not.”
Jessica takes the answer and lays her head back down on the shoulder.
They sit in silence for a minute or two before the door bell rings.
They both look up and over at the door. Jessica instructs her. “Stay here, I’ll get it.”
…
Taeyeon and Gyuri are joined by Taeyeon’s parents. They are eating dinner at a formal restaurant.
Mr. Kim wipes his mouth with his napkin and places it back on his lap and then takes his water and takes a drink form it setting it back down. He looks at Taeyeon.
“Taeyeon, it’s time for you to get married.” He blatantly says.
Gyuri’s eyes widen at the excitement of hearing this.
Taeyeon sets her fork and knife down and looks back at her father. “Why?”
Her mother intercepts her response. “You aren’t getting any younger. Besides you need to stop your playing around.”
“After discussing with your mother, we have decided to have an arranged marriage for you. You have no choice so don’t even bother arguing with me. It’s setup
already.”
Taeyeon takes her napkin and wipe her mouth throwing it on the table.
Gyuri is disappointed at the mention of an arranged marriage.
“Who’s the lucky girl? Are they rich?” Taeyeon asks bluntly.
“She’s the daughter of one of my good friends. He is the CEO of one of the biggest companies in Korea.”
Taeyeon scoffs at the statement. “Psh, I thought you said never to associate with low class people? I thought she would’ve at least been an heiress too. Why the sudden change of heart?”
Her father glared at her. “He saved my life when we were kids not knowing of my status plus they aren’t low class people. I owe him my life and people can change Taeyeon-ah.”
“Taeyeon-ah don’t argue with your father. Just do as he says.” Her mother pleads with her.
Taeyeon softens at her mother’s words. “When’s the wedding?”
Gyuri looks at Taeyeon shocked that she would accept just like that. She nudged Taeyeon by the elbow. Taeyeon looks at her.
“You don’t even know her and yet you’re okay with it?”
“So, and your point is?” Taeyeon asked bluntly.
“Just wondering.” Gyuri made up an excuse.
No. Her chance of living as a rich person was being taken away. She had to think of another strategy.
Her father relaxed hearing Taeyeon’s words. “Next month. I’ll allow you to have your fun until then.”
“Yes, father.” Taeyeon replied.
Everyone went back to eating but inside, for some reason Taeyeon felt troubled.
…
Jessica opened the door and revealed a happy and amazed Yuri who is staring at her without blinking.
Yuri just stood there in the doorway gawking at Jessica. Tiffany peeks at the person and sees Yuri standing there staring at Jessica. She giggles at the sight.
Jessica waved a hand in her face. “Yuri-ah?” she repeats. “Yuri-ah?”
Yuri finally snaps out of her gaze. “Wow. You look…wow.”
Jessica blushes. “Thank you. Uh, do you want to come in?”
“Sure.” Yuri steps inside.
“Wait here while I go grab my purse.” Jessica says as she rushes upstairs.
Yuri looks around before noticing that Tiffany has approached her. She looked at Tiffany and gave her the same reaction she gave Jessica earlier.
“Hi.” Tiffany waved as she approached Yuri.
“You look…wow. Taeyeon is sooo lucky.” Yuri said unconsciously.
“Huh?”
“Oh, you look beyond beautiful. If I wasn’t falling for the gorgeous lady upstairs, I would definitely fall for you.” Yuri said making her blush.
Tiffany smiled at her sincerely. “Thank you but please treat Sica nicely and protect her.”
Yuri returns the smile. “I will. I promise.”
They stand there smiling at each other just as Jessica comes down the stairs. She notices this and breaks their gaze.
“What are you two smiling about?” Jessica said suspiciously.
They turned towards her and smile at her as Yuri answers her. “About how gorgeous you are.”
Jessica again blushes and stutters out, “W-we s-should um get-get going.”
“Why are you stuttering all of a sudden?” Tiffany teases.
Jessica ignores her and drags the smiling Yuri out of the house.
A few minutes after they leave the door bell rings again. Tiffany gets up and heads over to the door.
Upon opening the door, pulling it open, she came face to face with a handsome tall young gentlemen.
“Hi. You must be Tiffany. I’m your date.” He says.
Tiffany smiles at him shyly. “Yes, I am. And you are?”
“Oh, sorry, I’m Jung Yunho.” Yunho replied with a smile.
“It’s nice to meet you.” Tiffany said.
“Same here and you look amazing.” Yunho extends his arm out to her. “Shall we?”
Tiffany loops her arm into Yunho’s and walks out the door pulling it shut closed.
They walked to the gate and she also closes it shut. They walk over to his car and he pulls the passenger side door open for her.
Tiffany smiles at his action. “Thank you.” She gets in and he gently closes it and walks over to the other side getting in.
They drive off.
What they didn’t know what that someone was watching them. From afar, Taeyeon gripped her steering wheel so tightly she makes hand dents into it.
Taeyeon then loosens her grip thinking, ‘Yah, Kim Taeyeon, you're not even together get a grip on it. Argh, jealous much?’ to which she frowns at the thought.
HE'S A KEEPER!
Yuri and Jessica were enjoying their dinner. Afterwards, Yuri takes Jessica for a walk on the beach.
“So, am I still a jerk?” Yuri asked curious.
Jessica doesn’t answer so Yuri steals a glance at her and sees that there’s a smile on her face.
“Is that a no?” Yuri says with a beaming smile.
Jessica stops in her tracks. Yuri’s smile sudden fades.
Jessica turns to face her smile faded and replaced with an icy cold stare.
Yuri stares at her eyes wide and unsure of what to do next.
Jessica walks towards her and like an animal stalking its prey. Yuri stands still and continues to stare at Jessica without blinking.
Closing the gap between them, Jessica suddenly tip toes up and kisses Yuri on the lips.
“You’re okay.” Jessica says before continuing her walk.
Yuri stands frozen in place and brings her hands up to her lips. A smile slowly forms and she turns to see that Jessica is a few steps ahead of her.
Yuri races up to Jessica and grabs unto her wrist stopping her in her tracks and spins her around to face Yuri. As soon as Jessica’s body swings around, Yuri grabs onto her face and kisses her.
It’s not a forceful or rough kiss yet a rather soft and passionate one.
Jessica stands frozen in place for a minute before she snakes her arms up around Yuri and start kissing back.
After a few minutes, they part to catch a breath. They lean their foreheads together and smile at each other. They stay like that for a minute before they continue walking along the beach hand in hand.
“You know something?” Yuri asks.
“Hmm.”
“I think I fell for you the second I kissed you that night in the bar.” Yuri confessed.
“Seriously?” Jessica says shocked at the sudden confession.
“Mmm. I don’t know how but when I kissed you I felt electricity rush through me.
And I’m sorry for being such an ass that day at the bakery. I was jealous and confused.”
Jessica removes her hand from Yuri’s. Yuri suddenly missed the contact and frowned but her frown is soon replaced with a BIG smile when Jessica wraps her arm around Yuri’s waist and leans into her.
Yuri wraps her arm around Jessica’s shoulder.
“I forgot all about it ever since you saved me. Thank you. And you have nothing to be jealous about.” Jessica reassures her.
“But you seemed happy with that guy.” Yuri says.
Jessica giggles at her.
“What’s so funny about that?” Yuri whines.
“Taecyeon oppa is married to my friend Eunjung. They have a baby on the way.
And I told you before, Fany and I are nothing more than sisters.” Jessica tells her.
Hearing this, Yuri pulls her closer to her if that was even possible.
Jessica hugged her around the waist tighter as well. “You know I have something to confess to you too.”
“You do?”
“Yeah. I started liking you when you gave me an innocent peck, the day you followed me from the coffee shop. I just thought you were so cute…”
Yuri beamed with a smile.
“…until you told me all those hurtful things at the bakery.” Jessica finished.
Yuri felt guilty and tensed. Jessica could feel it. “But now I think I like you even more.”
Yuri gave her a kiss on her head and they made their way back to their car.
They reach their car and Yuri opens the car for Jessica and closes it before getting in on the driver side.
Inside, Yuri looks at Jessica. “Um, what do you want to do now?”
Jessica looks at her. “I don’t know. What do you think we should do?”
“Coffee and cake?” Yuri mentions.
“Sounds perfect.” Jessica said with a smile.
Yuri then started up the car and they started down the road.
…
Taeyeon followed the couple out and watched as they ate dinner together talking and smiling at each other.
She squinted at them in rage.
…
Inside the restaurant.
Yunho and Tiffany ate their dinner and made some conversation.
“So, your brother is a persistent guy.” Yunho commented.
Tiffany laughed at his comment. “Yeah, he is. Sorry to bother you like this.”
“Oh no, not at all. Wouldn’t want to miss a chance with such a beautiful lady like you.” Yunho said.
Tiffany smiled and blushed at the compliment.
…
‘You’re even blushing for him?’ Taeyeon said to no one but herself as she watched on. ‘Not one guy but two different guys? You’re play so innocent but all you really are is a player.’
…
“I can’t believe such a pretty girl like you isn’t seeing anyone or should I say isn’t taken by now?” Yunho asked.
Suddenly, Taeyeon popped up into her head. Surprised, she shook her head to get rid of the image. ‘Why did she pop up in my head?’
“Tiffany-shi?” Yunho asked gently.
Tiffany snaps out of her thoughts. “Sorry.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah. Sorry about that.” She apologized.
He smiled at her. “Don’t apologize. It’s okay.”
For some strange reason she was suddenly feeling guilty.
“Tiffany-shi?” Yunho said.
“Yeah?”
“I would like to be your friend if that’s okay? I mean, we don’t know each other yet so we can start as friends and see we go from there, is that okay?” Yunho asked.
Tiffany smiled at him and extended her hand out to him. “Of course.”
…
‘What is she doing?’ Taeyeon thought. ‘Don’t you dare touch her.’
…
Yunho smiles back at her gestures and extends his hand forward to shake her hand.
A second later and they are laughing while still holding hands. They let go and continue to eat their food.
After dinner, they decide to go for a walk by the street markets. They walk past the stands and small stalls step on the streets one by one. Not far behind them is
Taeyeon.
“Tiffany-shi, would you like some ice cream?” Yunho asks.
Tiffany’s eyes beam. “I love ice cream.”
He smiles at her. “What kind would you like Tiffany-shi?”
“Yunho-shi?” Tiffany says in a soft tone.
“Yes?” he waits.
“You can just call me Fany. You don’t have to say Tiffany-shi. And strawberry would be nice.”
He smiles brightly at her shyness. “Okay, Fany-ah.”
At this, Tiffany flashes him an eye-smile that captures him instantly.
…
‘You smile so sweetly at him now huh?’ Taeyeon hides behind another stall not far from them as she pretends to look at some things.
…
Yunho gets them ice cream and they continue their walk and look at the things in the stalls. They come up to one with some cute couple items. They stop and look at them.
Taeyeon is in the stall right behind them this time.
“Oh, what a cute couple you are.” The lady in the stand tells them.
They look at each other and smile.
Taeyeon hears this and hisses to herself. ‘What? Couple?’
“We’re -- ” Tiffany tries to explain but the lady cuts her off.
“You two are so perfect for each other. I have the perfect gift for you two.” The lady extends her excitement and rushes over to grab the item.
A few minutes later, the lady returns with cute couple rings. “Here. For you two love birds.”
They look at each other again and blush as they giggle.
“Omo. Look at you two blushing.” The lady continues her teasing. "Couple rings."
Taeyeon tightens her jaw. ‘I can't believe this.’
Yunho reaches out and takes the rings. “How much are they ajumma?”
Tiffany looks at him surprised.
“They’re 10,000 won please.” The lady says with excitement.
Yunho hands over 20,000 won to the lady. “Here. You keep the change.”
The lady is so happy. “Oh, you’re such a gentleman.” She turns to Tiffany.
“You’re so lucky. He’s a keeper.” She says giving her a wink.
“Thank you.” Tiffany says politely.
This makes Taeyeon even angrier as she steps out of the stall and stare the couple now moving away from her.
1 MONTH!
After a night of events, Yunho brings Tiffany back to her place. They stand at her door and say their goodbyes.
“I had a great time. Thank you Yunho-shi.” Tiffany says shyly.
“I did too.” Yunho says with a smile.
An awkward moment crosses before Yunho takes Tiffany’s hand and places the rings in them. “Here. You can keep them.”
Tiffany looks at him. “Are you sure? I mean, you bought them. I don’t want --”
He cuts in. “It’s okay. Take it as a present.”
She smiles at him thankfully. They stand there and smile at each other.
Taeyeon watches in disgust.
…
Yuri and Jessica arrive at Yuri’s place. Yuri opens the door for Jessica but as she gets out she is confused.
“I thought we were going for coffee and cake?”
“We are, inside.” Yuri says.
Jessica hesitates. Yuri walks over to her. “It’s just coffee and cake, nothing else.”
They walk inside and Yuri goes over to prepare the coffee and get some cake. She
then prepares them and brings them over to the living room handing them to Jessica.
They sit outside on the patio and admire the stars while they sip on coffee and eat some cake.
With no warning Yuri sets her coffee down on the table and gets up walking over to sit next to Jessica.
Jessica is startled by the sudden movement.
Before she could turn around and say anything, Yuri wraps her arms around her waist and rests her chin on Jessica’s shoulder.
“Sica-ah, I think I love you.” Yuri suddenly confesses.
“Sica-ah, I think I love you.” Yuri suddenly confesses.
