The weeks continued to fly by as I continued not speaking to Taecyeon. I'd still hang out and go on dates with Chansung regularly, even after what had happened on Valentine's day. I couldn't help but notice a change in the way Chansung held me and kissed me. They weren't as longing and passionate as they had been prior to that day. I guess he's given up...

Swimming continued to be my only stable activity, since school was still kicking my .

Then one day, as I was rushing to get into the pool, I slipped on the deck and landed on my hand when I tried to break my fall, twisting my right wrist and left ankle. I was more felt more anger than I did pain at the fact that now I couldn't even take my frustrations out in swimming.

When the coach took me to the health office, I bumped into Taecyeon.

"Hey," His face was filled with concern as he saw me limping into the office, rushing over to assist me to a chair. "What happened?"

"I think I twisted my wrist and ankle," I tried to sound positive.

"Are you... okay?"

I nodded. "Mmhmm."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Taec. Thank you for worrying, but I'm really fine... just a little angry."

He sat down next to me as we waited for the nurse to get some ice packs.

At first, all was silent, but then he spoke.

"So... are we okay now?"

I didn't reply for a while, not knowing what to say. "I just want things between us to be stable. I really do miss you."

He put one arm around me. "Do you want to go out for coffee or ice cream after you finish icing?"

"Yeah.. That sounds.. good." I smiled at him.

"If it makes you feel better... I missed your smile." He ran his fingers through my hair, "It's been a while since I've seen it."

I looked away, partially cringing at the cheesiness, partially flattered by the sweetness of the comment.

A few moments later, the nurse came back to tell me that I could leave the health office once my joints felt numb enough. After a few more minutes, Taecyeon helped me up and disposed the ice packs for me.

We walked out of the health office; He wrapped one arm around my waist, assisting me as we made our way to the little town near our school.

"I can piggyback you," He offered.

"It's fine. I'll probably break your back," I continued to limp.

Then suddenly he let go of me and grabbed my legs instead, hoisting me onto his back.

"Taec!! Put me down! I just need you to help me walk," I began to flail my arms and legs.

"Don't make me drop you like last time," He jokingly teased.

I had no choice but to wrap my arms around his neck, trying to seem weightless, though I'm sure i was of no help. When we got to the ice cream shop, he finally put my down and helped me into the store.

He quickly ordered for the both of us, and to my surprise, he remembered what my favorite ice cream flavor is... green tea. I was actually quite touched.

We sat at a table near the window, facing each other.

"Tiffany?"

I snapped back to reality. "Yeah?"

"Are you still mad?" He sounded sincerely worried.

"A little, but I think it's about time I moved on. I realized... in these weeks apart from you... that I really..." I paused, "can't stay mad at people for a long time." I wanted to say that I really needed him around, despite what had happened, but I couldn't just hand the game over to him like that.

He smiled. 

We quickly finished our ice cream before we made our way to the park in the little town. We found a bench on the top of a hill that over looked most of the park.

"You know... I really miss being with you."

I smiled to myself. 

"I just... keep remembering that night at the garden... at the tent... even at the pond."

I wanted him to continue. I leaned on him and closed my eyes.

"Let's not fight, again, okay?"

I nodded, slowly dozing off.

"Tiffany, are you even listening?"

"Of course I am. Sheesh."

"Wait." He shifted around so I sat up a little bit.

"What?" I turned my head.

He quickly tilted my chin upwards so that he could kiss me. It was so unexpected. I couldn't even comprehend what was going on. Then I remembered my promise to Chansung and began to pull away, but he quickly and swiftly put one hand on the back of my neck, urging me to loosen up. I gave in, and kissed him back. Then he began to nibble and on my lips while occasionally pressing his tongue against mine. Our breaths grew deeper as he held each kiss for a longer period of time.

Finally, we stopped as my lips began to redden from all the attention they were getting from his.

"I'm sorry. I've been waiting for weeks to do that."

I wiped my lips. "It's okay... I uh..." I didn't know what I was trying to say, so I didn't finish my sentence.

"How about we go back to campus? You seem tired." He wrapped his arms around me.

I nodded. I was still craving for more kisses, but knew that I should resist my urges.

When we got back to campus he brought me to my dorm, kissing me on the cheek before he left.

I didn't know what I was thinking. I knew I shouldn't have kissed him. I should have resisted him, but I guess you could say that I've been waiting for weeks to kiss him too...

I went to bed feeling incredibly guilty, though I still was happy that Taecyeon and I were finally okay after all these weeks of torment.

The second I walked into the student lounge the next day, people whispered to each other as I walked pass each group, looking at me like I had committed a crime.

Then I saw the bulletin board.

On it there were pictures of Taecyeon and me making out on the park bench, and many many other pictures of Chansung and me holding hands or kissing that surrounded that one single picture. Beneath the collage of photos, a sentence read "You selfish shameless . How dare you try to take two boys at once."

I was absolutely shocked. Who on Earth would do such a thing?
