Tiffany took her hand back with a snap. She knew that her Top loves her. She sees it to the way he looks at her, every time he looks at her. How he acts like a kid when they’re alone. One time, he even tripped himself intentionally when they were jogging at some private park so that Tiffany will mend him. Sometimes, he would send her CDs of him playing his guitar singing his own songs written for her. One of the songs is titled My Bright Bunny Tiffany. She always listens to it before she sleeps. But most of the time, when they find time to be together, he would use the time to annoy her, with random stuffs like pulling her hair, tickling her sides, or he would hide at a corner and take her by surprise. Usually when they go out to grab a coffee, Top would order pure black coffee while she loves to put lots of cream and sugar on hers. Top would exchange their drinks when she’s not looking. Fany hates pranksters the most, even if it was her boyfriend. She hates them with a passion. She would slap him at the back in full force in numerous times but Top would only laugh as if she’s tickling him. But at the end of the day, love would still conquer everything and they would find themselves ending up on a couch cuddling and making out.

The last time that they had been apart from each other was when SNSD had an Asian tour around South East Asian countries for a month and YG Family was also preparing for their impending concert.

They only get to have contact with each other through phone which was very seldom since those times were really hectic times for both of them. When she got back to Korea, she was not able to see him immediately because she, Taeyeon and Seohyun had to go directly to MBC to film for Show Music Core. It was after the filming that she finally had time to see him. Although exhausted and sleepy, she didn’t mind because she really wanted to see him straightaway. But she didn’t tell him that she was coming that day because she wanted to surprise him.

She arrived when Big Bang and 2NE1 were practicing their Lollipop performance for their coming YG Family concert. Since she just came from filming, her make-up and hair was still beautifully done. She bought snacks along the way because she knew that her boyfriend tends to forget eating lunch when he’s working. When she opened the door of the practice room, it was Top’s part that was being played and she saw him running through his rap. He looked so serious while everyone was just fooling around during practice. She sat and watched at the side. Certainly, some dancers at the sides noticed her when she came in. She just bowed slightly.

A brown poodle sniffed her feet. She let it play with her boots. It was break time and Minzy sat beside her dog and played with it. “This is Dougie, isn’t she cute? Oh and welcome back to Korea, unnie!” Minzy said.

“So this is the infamous Dougie.” She patted the dog’s head. The rest of the YG artists welcomed her too.

Top sat beside her and drank water. She looked at him and saw him soaked with sweat. She missed him so much she just wanted to gaze at him for the whole night.  He looked at her. “You didn’t tell me you were going back today?”

“I wanted to surprise you. I even bought food for you. Oh and..” She moved closer to him and whispered at his ear. “I got something for you from Thailand.” She threw a wicked smile.

“What?”

“Swimming trunks. It’s in my bag. Will you wear it for me now? So I could see if I bought the right fit.”

“What? Babe, I’ll wear anything for you, but not right now. We’re in the middle of practice. I promise I’ll wear it later, when we’re alone and making out.” He said in nonchalance and drank his water again.

“Whoa, Tabi-ah, look at you so sure of yourself.” She saw his sweat dripped from his chin. She took his towel that was just placed on his lap and started to wipe his face.

Everyone in the room noticed the sweetness of the couple especially the Park-unnies, Bom and Dara, that were sitting at the opposite corner. “Wow, yah, look at them Bommie. They look so sweet. I’m so envious!” Dara said who purposely spoke loudly to let the couple hear them.

“If you’re so envious, why don’t you date Tae Hwan-ssi?” Bom said referring to the swimmer Park Tae Hwan who admitted to the public that he wanted to date Sandara.

Sandara’s face turned red. “He never contacted me.” She said sheepishly.

“Unnie, I know some boys from my company who constantly talks about you.” Tiffany said who, by now, was feeding Top with the biscuits that she bought.

“Who?”

“Minho and Donghae-oppa. They’re crazy about you.” She was happy that she can finally talk to YG artists in a comfortable manner. She never knew YG people could be as friendly as people from her company. They’re so different from their usual poised, cool and in-your-face arrogance images when they’re on TV.

“Oppa, will you play with Dougie for awhile, she wants to go outside. I have to go to the bathroom.” Minzy told Top. Top agreed and carried the dog. The reason why Top agreed to was because it was an opportunity for him to be alone with Tiffany. The couple went out and sat on the floor at an empty corner since there were no seats around. They played with the dog quietly. Dougie lied down on her back on Top’s lap.

It took a lot for Top to stop himself from grabbing her and kissing her when they were inside the room. But now, it was just impossible. The air was a bit awkward now that they’re alone and everything is quiet. Now, the tension between them was so unbearable. Without a word, he scooted close towards her and kissed her. Initially, Tiffany was apprehensive to the kiss because they were outside and people may see them but Top was very persistent so she finally gave in. Besides, she had always wanted for him to kiss her in public and not care what people may think. To get deeper with the kiss, Top rested his one hand on the wall behind Tiffany while his other hand was placed on her back to pull her closer to him. He was getting more and more aggressive as seconds passed by. It had been a very long time since their last kiss. And both of them missed it so much.  Tiffany couldn’t help but moan as she let him taste the insides of . Her hands tracing his chest and around the back of his neck and head. The air around them felt so hot and steamy. Top couldn’t sustain himself anymore from demanding more from her so he started kissing, and her neck, her sweet spot. Tiffany felt so good and just closed her eyes out of bliss. She pulled him closer to her. She definitely missed this. She realized that sometimes it’s important  to give in to temptation to feed her physical needs.  

At that same moment, Top could feel something weird happening at his crotch. Something warm and weird and wet. And it smelled awful. It was odd for him. But he didn’t stop, he assumed that that was just getting excited. Besides, when was the last time they made out with each other? He didn’t care even if his junior would stick out from his pants and people would see it. But it was Tiffany who pulled out first.

“What’s that smell? Oh my God!” She was looking at his crotch.

He blushed and covered it immediately with his hands. He expected that he will feel something standing but as he tried to cover his crotch, nothing was sticking out; instead he felt some kind of a warm barf-like substance. He turned his head and looked at it. “What is this? Vomit?” He looked at Dougie who looked back at him with her innocent eyes. He totally forgot about the dog that was resting on his lap.

Tiffany laughed. “That is not good.” She laughed again. He looked at her doubling up on her seat.

“Hyung, it’s practice time. Get back here.” Taeyang said and closed the door just as fast as he opened it.

“But my pants..” He said in a bewildered state. “I didn’t even bring with me any spare.” Top couldn’t believe this was happening. He didn’t really mind that the dog puked on his favorite pants, but it really pissed him that it had to be when he was making out with Tiffany. “Out of all times, and you do this to me.. just when I’m getting a score with my girlfriend.”  He told Dougie. Tiffany couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Babe, haha, don’t worry.” She said in between laughs. “Just wear the trunks that I bought you.” She said and winked mischievously. She excitedly took out the garment out of her bag.

“No. No way.”

“Wae? Just wear it. It’ll look good on you.” Tiffany laughed more.

“Yah! Are you making fun of me?”

“No, of course not. Wear it oppa, pleassse for me.” She said and showed her best eyesmile. She handed out the trunks to him.

“But they’re not trunks, they’re underpants. And it’s pink.” He said, afraid to even touch the embarrassing piece of cloth.

“This is not pink, it’s fuchsia.” She said in a matter-of-fact tone but some chuckles still escaped.

After contemplating for a long moment, “Alright. I’m doing this for you. I better get a reward.” He said in a frown and walked to the direction of the changing room.

People in the practice room kept sniggering and they weren’t able to focus on their steps anymore as all of them can’t help but look at Top who was wearing a white tank top and some tight skimpy fuchsia-colored trunks. Top felt so embarrassed that he felt so stiff to move. Tiffany kept laughing at the corner with everyone else. She kept laughing more because Top’s face was so red yet the rest of his body was so pale and fair.

She always laughs when she remembers that.

But this time, she needs to be strong. All these lovey-dovey shams should be ignored. She looked at his pleading eyes. She had to say that it did melt her heart and made her want to hug him and kiss him there and then because she missed him so much too. On the other hand, those eyes seemed like it’s expecting her to do exactly those, to be forgiven and get hugged by her. No! Fany, seriously! Isn’t it the reason why you’re cold at him in the first place was because you want him to feel how infuriated you are of him right now! This is insane!  Treat him cold for once. “Get up! Or someone will see you. This is not the right time to do this!” She tucked her hair behind her ear.

But Top didn’t seem to listen. Instead, he kneeled down completely with both of his knees and buried his face on her lap. “Fany-ah! I miss you so much. I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry!” He said in a muffled voice while putting his arms around her.

“Yah! Tabi!” Fany was shocked. He doesn’t easily show this childish side of him in a very exposed area. She her leg to push him away. “Get off!” She stood up and walked away as soon as he let go of her.

“Welcome back! Now as you can see behind me, we are in a different area.” The camera zoomed in to the area. The new area was inside a small swimming pool area. A big floating platform was placed in the middle of the pool, with some staffs standing on either side of it to keep from wavering. The Idols were now wearing shirts with their group color and were standing in line with MC Lee Chang Myung. “But first, let us congratulate the Red Team for winning the relay race. They have garnered 50 points! With Pink Team, surprisingly Sooyoung-ssi, at second place with 40 points.” Sooyoung smirked with pride at everyone.

“Hah! I told you I can run, oppa!” Sooyoung told MC Chang Myung who in return laughed as an acknowledgment.

 “Yellow Team for 3^rd place with 30 points, Blue team for 4^th with 20 and Green Team for 5^th place with 10 points. We apologize and feel responsible to Tiffany-ssi who got injured during the first game.”

“No, it’s ok Chang Myung oppa. I was already not in a very good condition even this morning.” Tiffany said. She was standing beside Minzy and Hyoyeon, with her hands and her left elbow bandaged. Her forehead was also plastered with a Band-Aid. Top looked over at her sulkily. She wouldn’t even let him stand next to her.

“All the same, all teams should still do their best for the next games since the points are accumulative. That means, points you earn for each game will be tallied up at the end of this day, and the team that gets the highest points will win the competition. So! Are you ready for our 2^nd game?!” MC Chang Myung screamed.

“NE!!!” All of them shouted. All this time, Top was still looking over Tiffany through his peripheries with a very burdened expression. He couldn’t put his mind in the game, he wanted so much to grab Tiffany away from everybody and find a place for them to talk alone to fix everything out between the both of them.

“What? I didn’t hear you. Let me hear you scream!!!” MC Chang Myung shouted again. GD, who noticed Top being unresponsive, elbowed him on his side.

“WOOOH!!” Everyone else shouted.

“That’s the spirit people! Our 2^nd game will be a floating game. One member from each team will be selected to play the game. But they will be selected using the infamous covered box. This time, the covered box contains the balls that have all of your names. One member from each team will pick one ball and it does not matter if you pick a person from the other teams, as long as one person gets selected from each team, then it is ok. And if one member is already picked, the staffs will remove the names of his or her fellow group mates, to avoid confusion. However, it is very unfortunate that we will have to pull out Tiffany-ssi’s name from the box as she is not in a good condition to play the game.” Tiffany smiled and nodded reassuringly. “Ok, so should we start?”

The first to pick from the covered box was Seobaby from Pink Team and luckily she picked her group member CL who seems to be a strong contender. Taeyang from Blue Team picked Bom for Red Team. Seung ri from Red Team picked Donghae for Yellow Team. Daesung from Yellow Team picked Yoona for Blue Team. Finally, it was the Green Team’s turn to pick for their contender. Hyoyeon pushed Top forward so he went to the center front to pick a ball.

“Finally, from Green Team, TOP-ssi, who was pushed by his fellow member Hyoyeon-ssi, yes I saw you, will pick a ball from the covered box. It is somewhat odd that nobody from the other team was able to pick any members of Green Team.”

Top put his hand inside the box and tried to feel each ball as if touching the balls will give him an insight to whoever he will pick. Finally, his hand has finally chosen a ball that he felt that there was something special about it. He pulled out his hand and looked at the name written on the ball. Everyone was silent. “TOP.” He said in an unenergetic manner.

Everybody laughed at him. He wondered why he was so unlucky that day.

“At the end, TOP-ssi picked his own name. Now, let us see all the contenders, please line up in front.” CL, Bom, Donghae, Yoona and Top stood together side by side. “We have three girls to fight against two boys. In this game, boys and girls are equal, but boys please take it easy. Okay?” MC Chang Myung announced. “But first, we will take a short break so don’t touch that remote. We will be back soon.”

“I’ll repeat the basic rule of the game; you push your opponent to drop them in the water. If ever both of you will fall, the first to fall will be eliminated. And, this is an elimination round people, the player who will win this game will earn his or her group 200 points. This is just like Family Outing. Arraseo?” Hyori instructed. She wanted to do the MCing even awhile ago. It was good timing that MC Chang Myung had a sudden stomach ache so he had to excuse himself from filming. Hyori and Rain happily took his place.

 “But in order to proceed to our elimination round, we have to make the numbers of players even, which means we have to eliminate one from you since all of you are five. That is why all of you are there.” Rain instructed. The players were all standing on the small floating platform. They overcrowded the platform but luckily the platform was thick enough to prevent them from submerging into the water. But it was really hard for them too; they had to hold onto each other, almost hugging each other, just to stay on the platform. “This is the pre-elimination round. When the signal starts, you push your opponents and whoever is the first to fall to the water will automatically be eliminated. Ok?”

The players looked at one another. While some were making mental signals through their eyes to the other players others were strategizing to who they will push first. “Yah! Don’t push me Chae-rin ah!” Bom told CL who was standing beside her.

“Of course, Unnie. You know who I’m going to push.” CL showed her wicked smile and looked at Top.

“Yah! Don’t you even think about it.” Top said who held a tighter grip to the players beside him, which were CL and Yoona. “If you push me, I’ll drag you with me.”

“Oppa, If you’re gonna do that I’ll tell on you to Fany-unnie.” Yoona said who stood closer to the center.

“Yah. Yoona don’t go there, or we’ll all fall.” Donghae said and pulled Yoona back to her place.

“But wait guys, what’s the signal?” Yoona asked cluelessly.

Without notice, a shrill sound of whistle reverberated in the whole room. “That’s the signal!” CL yelled then seriously pushed Top with all of her strength. Top almost got toppled but was able to hold on due to his tight grip on CL and Yoona. This led to Yoona, who was very unlucky to be in the middle of two guys, being the first to fall down. Donghae and Bom lost their balance and fell off too.

“Yoona-ssi from Blue Team has finally been eliminated. Now, let’s start with the game proper.” Rain announced.

The first round was CL vs. Donghae. Donghae was towering CL a whole lot. “Ottohke? How am I going to beat this guy?” Cl asked the other Idols. Both of them were now standing in front of each other. The staffs that were stabilizing the goofy platform were already prepared.

Toot! CL, in an instant, pushed Donghae with all of her strength with a growl. The other idols that were watching were surprised by her arrogance. That is why she is ‘the baddest female Seoul City ever had’.  She was vicious. But it was very lucky of Donghae that he got a good grip on her on the last second. He held on to her so tightly that it looked like he was about to kiss her. The Idols that were watching the game teased them.

“Donghae-ssi! You’re the man!” Dara yelled. Donghae looked at them and smirked. This gave CL an opportunity to make her move. She knew she couldn’t push him away without her being taken with him, so she pushed him forward and let herself fall down with him.

“Both of them fell over the water, but since Donghae-ssi was the first to take the plunge, he is then eliminated. Pink Team will proceed to the next round.”

“Tabi, lift me up.” Bom told Top since they have to swim to get into the platform in the center of the pool, and the water was at their neck’s height. Top positioned behind her and lifted her up carefully. Bom slowly climbed the platform but almost slipped, luckily Top was still behind her so her kind of smacked his face.

“Whoa!” Everyone voiced out.

“Hyung, that’s too much! Haha!” GD yelled and laughed.

“Sorry Tabi. Haha. Come on up. I didn’t mean to do that.” Bom said with a smile on. She was after-all just an amused noona. Top rubbed his nose and climbed up the platform too.

All this while, Tiffany was watching the game beside Yuri. She took her arm in a strong grip. “Ow! Fany Yah!” Yuri took away her arm and rubbed it.

“Sorry.” Tiffany said, who didn’t sound sorry at all. She did not even look at Yuri. She was too focused on what she was looking at. Obviously, she did not like what she was seeing. She knew she didn’t have reasons to be jealous because it was just Bom who she is friends with and is her unnie. But still, I still don’t like what I’m seeing. She really did not like the fact that there was a smile plastered on Top’s face. He’s actually enjoying this. She turned her back and stomped on a seat at a corner.

“Ok! Are you ready? This is a battle for two YG artists. Keep it cool guys!” Hyori shouted.

Top looked over the Idols to look for Tiffany. But she wasn’t around. So he looked back at his opponent. “Noona, let’s take this easy.” He said and positioned himself steadily.

“You bet I will. I’m freaking Park Bom.” Bom said and giggled mischievously.

Then the whistle came. Top didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to make the first move because he’s the guy. So instead of attacking, he stood there waiting. Oddly, Bom did not attack just like CL. She stood frozen on her place too. She smiled and tried to push Top lightly on his chest, but he did not budge. She tried again. Nothing happened still. They looked like they were doing lame high fives to each other. She decided to do it one more time, but this time, with power. So she moved forward and tried to push him but instead slipped and fell down in his arms. Everyone guffawed again. Some guys whistled.

“That’s twice already. Quit flirting around. HAHAHA!” Taeyang hollered.

Seohyun, who was standing next to her team mates, remembered her Tiffany-unnie and sat beside her. Her Unnie looked like she could kill anyone right then and there just by using her raging eyes.  “Unnie, don’t take that seriously. It’s just a game.”

“What? What are you talking about? I’m not affected. Why? Do I look like I’m affected?” Tiffany asked Seobaby in an accusing manner.

“Anni..” Seohyun waved her hand lightly. She got a bit scared at her vicious unnie. She knew Tiffany would be like this. She tends to be horrid and spiteful to anyone whenever she’s mad. Right then, Sooyoung went over and sat on the other side of Tiffany. She then hugged Tiffany, unlike Seobaby, she did not care if Tiffany doesn’t want to be hugged at that moment.

“Fany-ah. Smile a bit. It’s not good to sulk around for a whole day. If you don’t want Top to see you like this then don’t act like it. You’re ruining the mood.” Sooyoung told her while rubbing her hand on Tiffany’s back in a circular motion.

Although she wants to do all things bad, dark and just the opposite of being calm, she shook her head instead to try to clear her mind. She released all her burden through exhaling slowly.

Meanwhile, Top realized that he and Bom were actually hugging. He carelessly pushed Bom away and looked over to Fany. He strained his eyes more but he really couldn’t find her over the crowd of Idols. SPLASH! Bom fell over the water. He didn’t notice how strong he must have shoved her away. “Omo. Noona are you ok?”

“Yah! Where did that ‘taking it easy’ go?” Bom retorted as she swiped water from her face.

“Oppa, that was really not good what you did to Bom-unnie. But I’m not worried; give me your best shot Oppa!” CL said with a smirk on her face. Top stepped back a little. He admits he got slightly intimidated by her. WONG WONG WONG!!! “Hyah!” CL lunged herself completely towards Top.

“Woah woah woah!!” Top yelled. And they both fell down in the water.

CL was the first to rise up from the water and immediately threw her hands up. “I won!”

“And the first place goes to the baddest female CL-ssi!” Rain announced.

Top congratulated CL and both swum back to the edge of the pool. When he got out of the pool, he decided to look for his girlfriend even if he was soaking wet. He searched through the crowd and saw her sitting at a corner, looking back scowling at him.

He sat beside her and wiped his face with a towel nearby. “Aigoo. I never thought Chae rin could be so strong. She pushed me too hard under water when we fell down. It was so sudden; I didn’t even had time to catch my breath.” Tiffany didn’t respond. She just kept looking straight, her arms folded over her chest.  Then after a moment, she turned her head slightly on his direction. “But you’re not hurt, right?”

“Ne? No. I’m as hard as a rock. You know that.” Top playfully flexed his arms. When she didn’t respond to his joke he scooted and looked at her closer. “You’re not mad anymore?” He said in a whisper.

Tiffany gave him a ridiculed look. “You wish.” Then got up and walked away.

“Yah! Why are you always walking away?” Top yelled.
