"I warned you not to hurt her" Tiffany growled out 
"I-I'm s-sorry" Taeyeon stuttered as she slowly stepped back 
'You think a sorry is going to solve problems? Sorry only makes the guilty feel less guiltier about themselves, but it does nothing to the one who got wronged" Tiffany said dryly  
"Don't say sorry to me, you wronged Jessica, not me" Tiffany continued
"I-I know, I-I'm sorry. I-I just, I-I know I did wrong. I-I didn't mean to hurt her" Taeyeon said meekly

Tiffany without warning lunged at Taeyeon, holding up her collar and pushed Taeyeon against then wall.
Hyoyeon moved towards them sensing Taeyeon was going to be in danger.

"You stay where you are Kim Hyoyeon, don't you move an inch" Tiffany commanded in a dangerously firm tone. Hyoyeon had no choice but to obey. 

Tiffany turned her attention back to Taeyeon. 

"You didn't mean to hurt her?!" Tiffany fumed with anger "Wasn't her love in enough for you?! Didn't you love her?!" Tiffany was filled with anger.
"I-I'm sorry, I-I was j-just being i-impulsive" Taeyeon struggled with air
"Impulsive?!" Tiffany wanted to laugh
"Then why don't you impulsively go die?" Tiffany mockingly questioned 
"I-I..." 
"Did you know how much Jessica has suffered just because of you being impulsive?!" 
"I-I..." 
"No, you don't know. She could've died. She was in so much despair. Depressed even. If I did not find her in time... I don't even want to think about it. If she did pass away, I don't think I can ever in my life forgive you or myself for agreeing to her to date you" 

Taeyeon stayed quiet. Not knowing what to say. Hyoyeon could only watch with sympathy. 

"Cat got your tongue Kim?" Tiffany mocked
"I'm warning you, stay away from her" Tiffany uttered before releasing her grip on Taeyeon
"S-sorry T-Tiffany, I-I can't d-do that" Taeyeon said between breathes
"I-I still love her, and I'm not letting go" Taeyeon said firmly 
"If you loved her you wouldn't have done this!" Tiffany yelled 
"It was a mistake! A never wanted it to happen, I used to and still love her, it never changed!" Taeyeon yelled back 
"What's been done is done Taeyeon. She's already hurt, let her go" 
"I said I'm not letting go Tiffany, I'm firm on that decision" Taeyeon said, holding her ground 
"You have no sense of shame Kim" 

A sudden punch was thrown at Taeyeon. She wasn't able to react fast enough until she felt herself fly towards the walls. Blood trailed in the corner of her lips. 
"" Taeyeon muttered as she held her face, wiping off the blood stain
"I told you to back off!" Tiffany said, she was burning with fury 
"Never" was all Taeyeon could mutter 

Taeyeon squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for another hit to come. But none came 

"S-Sooyeon?" Taeyeon looked up to see Jessica holding Tiffany back
"Miyoung. I told you not to find her" 
"Jessi, how could I not?!" 
"Let's leave" Jessica said. It wasn't a question asking for opinion, it was a command. 

Jessica dragged Tiffany away from the house. Tiffany could only obediently allow Jessica to pull her away.
"I'm not done with you Kim! Just be glad Jessi was here to save you!" Tiffany shouted as she was dragged out, not forgetting to forge a glare. 

"Shut it Miyoung" Jessica uttered
Tiffany then shut . 

"Thanks Jessica!" Hyoyeon shouted after the leaving figures
Jessica gave a wave of dismissal as she pushed Tiffany into her seat. 

Hyoyeon breathed a sigh of relief watching the two girls leave.

"Thanks for the call Hyo" Taeyeon breathed 
"No worries man. If I didn't call things would've been ugly" 
"Y-yeah"
"Tae"
"Yes"
"With things happening at this rate you might need to consider plastic surgery" 
"What?" 
"Yeah, you see, your face keeps getting busted. One day your face is just going to get distorted. By then you will need to deeply consider plastic surgery, and with you and Jessica together you guys would become Beauty and the Beast" Hyoyeon joked, she was trying to liven the atmosphere up a bit sensing the coldness. 
"Gee thanks for your worries" Taeyeon rolled her eyes while faking an annoyed smile
"Anytime Tae, that's what friends are for" Hyoyeon said with a wink
 Both of the girls just laughed at their silliness.

Hyoyeon was worried for her. Taeyeon always bottled up her emotions and kept it to herself. Hyoyeon knows Taeyeon didn't want to burden people with her concerns and emotions, but Taeyeon would be stuck with the burden instead. A burden where she shares with no one, but could only carry it alone. 

"But seriously Tae, look after yourself okay?" Hyoyeon began in all seriousness 
 "Otherwise Jessica will totally kick you away" Hyoyeon continued
"Yes mum, I will. Don't worry I won't give her the chance" Taeyeon said as she mustered a smile.

"Jessi" Tiffany whined
Jessica kept silent, focusing her attention on Tiffany's bruised knuckles.
"I'm sorry Jessi" 
Jessica gave a sigh as she finished off patching up Tiffany.
"Jessi please don't be angry. Please I'm sorry, don't ignore me" Tiffany sniffled 

Jessica turned around and looked at the girl. Truthfully, she wasn't angry at Tiffany, she was upset with herself. She looked at Tiffany's hand which was covered in white bandages, blood threatened to seep through and her face was covered in untried tears, snot and saliva. Given other times Jessica would've laughed at the sight, but the fact that Tiffany went through so much trouble for her, Jessica felt guilty.

"No Tiff, I'm the one who's sorry. I'm not angry at you, don't worry" Jessica gave Tiffany a reassuring smile 
"Why are you sorry? I shouldn't have been so impulsive, I'm sorry" 
"You don't have to be sorry Tiff. I know you just wanted to protect me. I just... It's just that you have to go through so much trouble for me and I feel bad about it. You didn't have to experience things like this, yet I brought it upon you. I'm sorry"
"No Jessica, I am willing to do this, to protect you, you didn't bring it upon me alright? I chose to do this" 
"I'm sorry Tiff" Jessica mumbled as Tiffany forced Jessica into a hug
"You big baby" Tiffany teased as she felt her shirt was gradually getting wet
"Don't do it anymore Tiff, don't injure yourself anymore, it's already the second time this month" Jessica continued to mumble
"Yes Wifey" Tiffany laughed 

Tiffany pulled Jessica out of the hug, wiping the tears away with her thumb. Jessica sniffled continuously, looking like a lost kitten. Tiffany just smiled at the cute sight.

"Sir, has operation 28841 been reactivated?" R asked 
"Yes" 
"Never thought the operation we thought failed years ago is back on track" R laughed
"Exactly, this is great. That girl is just icing to the cake" Sir said in smiles 
"Very well sir. She is a promising character" 
"She is indeed" Sir said in agreement 
"Kim Taeyeon just can't stand against temptations can she?" R smirked 
"She sure can't. Jessica Jung's suffering face just gives me so much pleasure" Sir gave a satisfying expression 
"What has she done to you sir?" R asked in curiosity 
"Hush, you talk too much. It's something you are not required to know about" Sir spoke in a harsh tone
"Sorry sir" R apologised 
"Now leave, keep your eyes out for any movement" Sir said and closed his eyes shut
"Yes sir" R said in a respectful tone before retreating out the door. 

"Both shall suffer" R thought.
________________________________________________________________________________________
The road of suffering sure is long! 
Tiffany sure has been protecting Jessica lots (done in a well and promised manner). I might just make this into a JeTi fic instead? 

Haha just kidding :P 

The storyline has gotten more complicated now with the sudden appearance of Sir and R. What have they got in store for The girls? 
Stay tuned to find out! 

Btw Happy late Birthday to our beautiful Yoona!
