Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs

Taeyeon fasten her pace when saw Seolhyun still drinking with her friend. The kid leader knows from Seolhyun’s eyes that she likes Taeyeon even more when using black hoodie and walking into her

“Sunbae!” Seolhyun shouted happily but decreased when Taeyeon grabbed her by her collar

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME LAST NIGHT?”

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you
 

Jessica is tidying her stuffs and preparing for going home when Gugyeom, her personal bodyguard waiting for her

“Oppa, you look bothered. A penny for your thought?” Jessica asked when takes her folders

“Oh, this is roses for you”

“From Taeyeon?” Jessica chuckled happily when read the sender, Taeyeon and her cheesy words still making her happy after all this time “Thank you, Oppa”

“Jess…” Gugyeom hesitated “Umh…”

“What’s wrong, Oppa?”

“When Taeyeon gave it to me, she looks in hurry. She rushed when Yuri called her about MX Club”

“Yuri? MX Club?”

“I felt something happened to her” Gugyeom scrubbed his nape “She’s so weird”

“It’s near. Let’s go there”

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours
 

Jessica saw Taeyeon’s Porsche Boxster and Gugyeom hurriedly takes her hand to entering the place. Jessica also feels the tense, as in why Taeyeon came here at her free time and alone

The moment when she saw Taeyeon hurriedly ran to Seolhyun, Jessica feels jealous but the scene after makes her gaped

Taeyeon takes the younger girl by her collar and shouted

“This is wrong…” Jessica whispered “Oppa, spare her”

Gugyeom nodded and running into the commotion. He takes Taeyeon’s arm and the girl glared at him before realizing that Jessica’s bodyguard is here

“Stop it, Taeyeon” Jessica’s voice is coming from behind “Let’s go home”

“Sica? But she was…”

“Let’s talk about this on the home, won’t you?”

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine
 

Jessica told Gugyeom for taking her car and she will go home with Taeyeon. She took the bouquet and her bag before heading to the Porsche

Their trip is silent, Jessica is busy fidgeting her fingers. Taeyeon isn’t dumb, it’s the sign for the younger girl that she had something to talk about

Feeling guilty, Taeyeon took Jessica’s hand and intertwined them. She caressing her back of hand with her thumb, giving comfortable feeling

Jessica drifted her eyes to Taeyeon, who still locking her eyes on the road

“What did you do?” is Jessica’s first words when they reached their home. Taeyeon still shut while helping Jessica putting off her coat and place her bag

“Taeyeon…” Jessica desperately calling her girlfriend

“Do you think when you confronted Seolhyun, everything will be alright?”

“Yes” Taeyeon replied “I have to make her know, that I’m just loving you!”

“For what? Everyone know, Taeyeon”

“You were doubting me, you always do”

“Taeng…” Jessica looking at Taeyeon, not believing what did Taeyeon just said “Why did you think about it?”

“Because you are…” Taeyeon clenched her jaw

“I’m not, Taeng”

“How can you say something like that? Whenever I went with other girls, or being kind with hoobaes, can you just not be jealous?”

“I was burdening you, wasn’t I?”

Taeyeon could see Jessica’s reddening eyes. She made a mental note and cursed herself, how can she ask Jessica something terrible like that?

“Taeyeon, I’m sorry…” Jessica hung her head down. After all this time, Taeyeon always be the one who said sorry. Jessica almost never did, she would be crying her heart out rather than saying sorry first and Taeyeon knows that was Jessica’s way to say sorry

But now Jessica said sorry first? The hell was that

“Sica… Sooyeon…”

“Taeng, I’m so sorry…” Jessica cried “Gyuri Unnie was right. I’m just a burd…”

“No!” Taeyeon hugged Jessica first “No, Sica. You were never being burden to me. Never”

“Taengoo…”

“Hmm?”

“Please… Make me forget”

And you'll say
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours
 

Taeyeon can see the breathless woman beneath her. She had her inside Jessica, she had her lips all over Jessica’s bare body. She had leave marks on Jessica, to makes sure that she is hers

Taeyeon hopes that Jessica could forget everything that happened just now when she takes the sheet for covering their bare bodies

“Sooyeon, I love you” Taeyeon pecks Jessica’s forehead before following her lover to the dreamland

But Taeyeon is wrong. Jessica suddenly gripped the sheet and mumbled. She had the bad dream again

It happens twice

“Sooyeon…” Taeyeon should hold both of Jessica’s hand so that the younger girl won’t tossed out from the bed

“Sooyeon… I’m here…”

When Jessica back to her sleep, Taeyeon could see the nails marks on her arm. Jessica was holding it very tight

That weren’t hurt as her heart

And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong and
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
With this song for you
