English Lessons

The elevator doors parted as a loving couple exited it with their petite hands intertwined. The shorter girl was overly excited as they approach the information counter and the latter was rather a bit irritated. She doesn't like the idea of her girlfriend wanting to take English lessons, not when she's a native speaker herself. Tiffany couldn't believe Taeyeon would rather want to pay some random stranger to give her lessons when Tiffany can teach her without any payment. She grunted in agitation as she watches Taeyeon look through some brochures provided for anyone who's interested. They took some and went to the resting lounge to go through them thoroughly.

"Why are you doing this?" Tiffany pouted as Taeyeon appeared more interested in the thin piece of vivid paper than her own girlfriend.

"Because I'm meeting your parents in three months," she replied composedly without taking her eyes off what she's doing.

"My family understands Korean too," Tiffany countered. "Even if you want to improve your English, I can help you. Why would you want to waste your time and money to come here every week?" She sways her lover's arm, nagging the older girl to somehow change her mind.

"Because you're a huge distraction for me," Taeyeon explained. "And you know what happens when there are books and a mushroom in the same room. Which do you think I'm more interested?"

Tiffany tries to preserve a stern expression, but Taeyeon's response made the younger girl inexorably delighted. She know her girlfriend's true nature extremely well, therefore she couldn't defy Taeyeon's explanation. Not being able to persuade Taeyeon, Tiffany can only help the latter find the best fitted course for her lover. Her head is comfortably rested on Taeyeon's shoulder as she takes a look on whatever Taeyeon is reading.

"I think I will take the four days a week program," Taeyeon mumbled to herself. "From 11:00AM to 4:00PM seems pretty good..."

"What?!" Tiffany shot up upon hearing Taeyeon's selection and caused the older girl to look at her in bemusement. "But that's five hours," she whined. "Why can't you just take the three hour course instead? Your Engrish is okay. You don't have to take the longer session." The younger girl tries to convince her lover to change her mind, but was rather unsuccessful.

"Hwang Miyoung." Taeyeon eyed her lover firmly. "What did I told you earlier?"

"Hmph." Tiffany crossed her arms and look away from Taeyeon. "You don't even care about me," she pouted.

Taeyeon let out a defeated sigh at her girlfriend's childish behavior and turn Tiffany around to face her. "You know how important this gathering is to me, right?" Tiffany hated when Taeyeon is being serious and logical. "It's just going to be a few hours. I practically spend every day and hours with you. Can you at least bear with five short hours?" she smiled brightly and tightens her grasp on Tiffany's arms.

"Fine." Tiffany agreed in defeat and received a peck on the cheek from the latter. "I want lips." She requested babyishly, causing Taeyeon to let out a small chuckle.

"If a kiss on the lips is what my mushroom wants, then it's what she'll get." Taeyeon teased and landed her lips on Tiffany's. If this wasn't a public community, Taeyeon wouldn't have only given her girlfriend a simplistic kiss, but rather something beyond innocent.

After a little while of going through some more brochures, the couple went over to the customer service counter and obtained an application from an employee. They stood by the counter as Tiffany fill out Taeyeon's application for her. Taeyeon is embracing her girlfriend from behind as Tiffany fill out each section of the two page long application. The younger girl would bite her lips cutely when she came upon a question that she doesn't know and earned herself a light pinch on the cheeks from the latter for not knowing the correct answer. Each pinch is quickly replaced with a peck to refrain Tiffany from complaints.

Once the application is completed, Taeyeon was arranged to an interview with one of the mentor to determine her level. The couple was lead to a small cubicle where a man dressed in a presentable business suit is already waiting. Taeyeon peck Tiffany's lips hastily before she walk through the transparent door for her interview. Tiffany waited outside as she observe Taeyeon's every gestures and expressions from the various questions she is being asked. She enjoys the view on how baffled Taeyeon is from time to time when she came upon a complicated question. It was just pure amusing and entertaining to see the older girl struggle in such a situation.

When Taeyeon stood up from her seat and exchanged a handshake with her adviser, Tiffany knew the interview have already ended. She quickly stood up and greets the smiling Taeyeon who left the stall.

"How was it?" Tiffany asked cheerfully.

"Great!" Taeyeon intertwine their hands as they make their way back to the reception for her results and class placement.

It was the first day of class for Taeyeon and Tiffany came along, even though Taeyeon had told her beforehand not to come, but her girlfriend insisted. Tiffany walked Taeyeon to class and doesn't want to part when the time came. Taeyeon was already a few minutes late, but she stayed outside of her classroom a little bit longer before going in, just to accompany her lover a bit more before they separate.

"Go home first. I'll call you when I get off." Taeyeon commanded and pecked her girlfriend goodbye.

Tiffany pouted on the quickness of their kiss, but loosens her grasp on Taeyeon's hands anyway. She observes as Taeyeon enter the small room and was bombarded with various questions from the teacher because of her lateness. Laughter can be heard outside of the room even when the door is closed shut. The interested girl didn't leave like Taeyeon had wanted her to because Tiffany doesn't know what to do when Taeyeon is absent. Therefore, she stayed outside of the classroom and lurks around, hoping time will pass quicker and Taeyeon will come out soon. Constantly peeking from the little window of the door, Tiffany can see Taeyeon was undividedly focused on the lecture.

Standing too long is exhausting and Tiffany's legs are getting numb, so she decided to wait at the resting lounge instead. The large clock continues to tick as time slowly passes, making the impatient girl mope in boredom. Then drowsiness took over her body and she leisurely drifted off to dreamland for the time being. Tiffany doesn't know how long she has slept, but she was awakened when someone tapped her shoulder.

"TaeTae..?" Tiffany rubs her eyes sheepishly and became excited when her vision becomes clear. "TaeTae!" She stood up animatedly and embraces the latter.

"I thought I told you to leave hours ago." The shorter girl scolded, but her volume maintained low. "Aish...you never listen to me..."

"But I don't know what to do by myself." Tiffany pouted when she slightly pulled away from the hug.

Taeyeon let out a defeated sigh on her girlfriend's reasoning, but soon break into a smile when the latter peck her lips to cheer her up. "You're not ma
