One half of me is yours, the other half yours Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, And so all yours
That bright morning in the penthouse the two had stayed over night filled with a new air. Yuri had lain beside Jessica, staring and gazing at her. The
brunette was captivating, she couldnʼt take her eyes off her. Why hadnʼt she noticed it earlier? She must look like a creep to a person who walked in and catch her staring at Jessica. But she couldnʼt help it. People wouldnʼt
understand how she felt right now; there is no adequate word to describe the overflowing emotions inside. This was greater than having the world, wait no, this is the world in her hands. Jessica was the world to her.
She wondered what it would feel like to kiss those soft lips again. Another second of contemplation is another second wasted. With that Yuri close in on the luscious lips, Jessica has a unique scent, it was sweet to the nose and it makes you long for more. The girl moved she shifted because of the
disturbance to her sleep.
“I thought you were sleeping beauty so I had to kiss you awake” Yuri said sarcastically, but it was what she really thought. Gazing into the beautiful eyes her inside fluttered. It wouldnʼt go away, she doesnʼt think it ever will. She had sworn to herself to do whatever to keep this special person safe, happy and technically hers for the rest of her life. Jessica was a gift from heaven, she remembered when she was younger her grandma who had past away had told her when she first saw Jessica she had asked her these exact words, “Grandma, is she an angel?” She was clueless what an angel was. But this person appeared at her front door. She would smile in her pretty white dress. She always smiled so widely. It was contagious. She was a living medicine. [Flash back]
R.I.P Kwon Dong Sun, 12, 1997 the grave read. The engraved print brought tears the people who were left at the funeral. The little girl grieved as she stood there with her parent to say the last farewell. Her brother had died because incurable cancer; it came so sudden that she couldnʼt accept it. She doesnʼt know what to say or do. She doesnʼt understand why god had taken her brother. He was kind, generous and lovely. Each day she had spent hours and hours playing all sort of adventures with him and sometimes together with other boys but now she was all alone. She hugged her mother who tears couldnʼt stop either. Her father grieved silently, he wasnʼt his usual self too. From that day onwards the little girl stayed depressed, silent and lost. She refused to go out and play, she refused to do anything she used too do. She stayed in her room or at home and tried hide away from the outside world. Until that day, someone arrived at her front door. It was an Aunty and a little girl. Was it the daylight or a real shining exterior? She didnʼt know. Her brother said angels would come and save him. Was this one hers? It was like an angel had drop by her door. They were fake wings but she didnʼt need to prove they real. But she was real.
[End of flash back]
“Youʼre so ridiculous” Jessica said laughing, but she secretly loved it “I never knew you had such a sweet tongue” Jessica added as she sat up and fixed her hair.
“It is reserved for only you” Yuri helped Jessica fix the hair strands on the back.
“Do I have to get use to this from now on?” Jessica asked.
Yuri pretended to think about for a second before she fastened into a gentle long lasting back hug. Tighten around Jessica, locking her down so she couldnʼt move.
“Maybe I will” Jessica felt all this came so sudden, was it there to stay? She doesnʼt know. The chances seems to be thin, this overwhelming love Yuri is giving her, feels burdening. She wants to remember what their past was but nothing came to mind. Yuri's sprouting extreme affection was a rare sight, she had never seen Yuri been like this to anyone. This must be real. She wants to enjoy the most of it, even if this had only lasted one day she was happy. ___
Taeyeon watched Tiffany move around the house, what was she doing? She looked like she was avoiding her. She knew why but Tiffany doesnʼt have tired herself out. Taeyeon rested her head on her arms and watched Tiffany
“You know you are making it easier for me to check out your buttock?” Taeyeon said pressing against her arm that steadied itself on the table. Tiffany backside was facing Taeyeon; she automatically extended her hands to cover her behind. Taeyeon giggled. Tiffany turned around and pierced straight at Taeyeon as a warning.
“Are you giving me the silent treatment because I said I love you?” Taeyeon asked
Tiffanyʼs silence preludes as a consistent treatment to Taeyeon, she earned with her outright confession. Tiffany pretended Taeyeonʼs existence was an object; she ignored the voice that tried to get into her mind.
“I lovvveeeeeeee you, I love you, I love you” Taeyeon said repetitively like an annoying parrot. The type of parrot you donʼt need to train to say words but instead it repeats itself to satisfy boredom. She was enjoying herself; there was nothing better than teasing Tiffany. She had a stack of assignments to do but she didnʼt bother to touch it because this was entertaining, Tiffany
fascinates her.
“You know youʼre adorable when youʼre angry?” Tiffany scrubbed the kitchen top harder. “If I stop staring at you for one second, I stop breathing”
Can she stop being so annoying? Tiffany thought.
“Do you know yuʼre like an addictive movie? I could watch you forever” Procrastination was way fun compared to writing essays. She could write an essay about Tiffany. That would be fun.
“Tiffannnnnnnnnnnnnnyy-NY-ny” “Tiffffffffffannnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy” “Tif-FANY” “FANNY Fanny!” “PANNII!” “What?!”
“Describe how water tastes”
Tiffany paused and thought, what a weird question. Was it a trick question or a riddle?
She remained silent because she couldnʼt think of words to describe it. “Exactly, that. You canʼt explain it because it is impossible, it just like how impossible it is to describe how much I love you” Taeyeon made a heart
shape and pointed to Tiffany.
Tiffany pretended to puke. She was starting to get nausea. If this were how her days will go on, she would have fallen ill by the end of the 100 days. “My forehead is really hot” Taeyeon said feeling her own temper. Tiffany felt concerned. Taeyeon hasnʼt fully recovered yet? Or did she catch a fever. “I think youʼve got me lovesick” Taeyeon said un-shamefully. Tiffany shouldʼve known. It wasnʼt going to stop. She rolled her eyes and looked away. Taeyeon smiled from ear to ear.
“Tiffany do you have a sister?” Taeyeon question struck Tiffany. She did not expect Taeyeon to ask so boldly. Tiffany froze and waited to see if Taeyeon was going to add something.
“I do”
“What is her name?”
“Yoona” Tiffany wiped the kitchen bench as she answered “Im Yoona?” Taeyeon pretended to act stunned
“Yeah”
“So youʼre from the Im family, I didnʼt expect that” Taeyeon lied
“Not thatʼs that important” Tiffany said. Taeyeon acting is pretty poor Tiffany thought.
“Not important? Theyʼre my in-laws, I have to at least know they exist” Taeyeon said.
“And now you know. I like to change topic”
“Back to Iʼm-so-in-love-with-you topic?” Taeyeon grinned. She was ready. Taeyeon wanted to bombard Tiffany with love. She feels Tiffany had lived in her cold little world, she needs a person to make her smile, make her laugh, make her happy and make her feel loved. Tiffany makes her do ridiculous things she never done. This was ridiculous, but she enjoyed every bit of it. She was addicted to Tiffanyʼs presence. If the 100 days were up what was going to happen to them? Could the verbal contract between them be renewed? Well it doesnʼt matter; she would work it out later.
“I think I like that better” Tiffany doesnʼt know why but she starting to find it hard to lie in front of Taeyeon. She use to be able to do it, it was natural and guiltless. Now she canʼt stop fiddling when she tries to tell false truth. Facing
Taeyeon was even harder by the day, why was that? She couldnʼt find the answer.
“Tiffany…”
Tiffany turned to face Taeyeon. Taeyeonʼs soft call caught her attention. Compared to Taeyeonʼs teasing, one of those sincere calls overlaps it a thousand times.
“Make sure you tell me when youʼve fallen for me” Taeyeon passionate eyes and genuine smile touched her heart. She felt it beating, pounding against her chest. She wants to say what was on her mind. She wants to say yes I do love you. But she immediately discontinued her contemplation.
Taeyeon could see her words had some effects on Tiffany, she now strongly believes Tiffany extrudes the same feelings inside, her eyes says it all. When I look into your eyes, you make me stronger but weaker in the knees. Youʼve chained my heart and my soul but when will I rest my head upon your beating chest. And listen to the sound of pure love? Is it the inner raving engine that brakes our love on halt? Possibly it is too powerful to predict the result. If our love were to collide, our hearts will bind and our hand will intertwine, shared only between you & I. But can we happen?
