Taeng was waiting for Tiffany in front of her building. He was leaning on Yul’s BMW, waiting patiently for her while playing with his handphone. He was thinking about something deeply as his mind started to wander. But then he heard someone coming down from the stairs. He couldn’t help but to smile widely when he saw Tiffany was coming out and walking towards him.

“Good morning.”He greeted her.

“Morning.”Tiffany smiled brightly, giving him her eyesmiles.

Taeng froze.

“Taeng?”Tiffany waved her hands in front of him.

Taeng snapped out of his daze and took Tiffany’s hand that was in front of his face. He opened the car’s door and waited until Tiffany was seated properly before closing the door. He went around the car to the driver’s side. ‘Snapped out of it, Tae’ He scolded himself. He couldn’t believe that he froze when he saw her smiling at him. He felt like a fool already.

“Are you okay, Taeng?”Tiffany questioned him when she saw Taeng was very quiet in the car.

“Huh?”Taeng looked at her. “Yeah, I’m fine.”Taeng smiled. “You?”Taeng asked back.

“I’m feeling great.”She smiled again brightly, her eyes disappearing.

Taeng saw Tiffany’s smile and felt his heart skipped a beat. ‘It’s only a smile, Taeng!’ He snapped at himself. On the bright side, he felt relieved that Tiffany was returning to her normal self. Although, he couldn’t help but to notice Tiffany’s puffy eyes and it looked like she hadn’t slept much.

Suddenly, Taeng’s phone rang. He fished out his phone from his pocket and answered it without looking at the caller id.

“Hello?”

“I need a favour.”A tired voice was heard.

“Yul? Are you alright?”Taeng asked out of concern since his voice was not as cheerful as it has always been.

“I’m fine. Can you pick up Jessica for me? I mean, drove her to school today.”

Taeng raised his eyebrows. “Why me? You pick her up.”He saw Tiffany’s questioning stare at him and he mouthed ‘Yul’ to her.

“I’m not going to school.”

“Why?”

“I don’t want to see her yet.”Yul told the truth. He was always so honest with Taeng.

“Yul, this will only worsen the problem.”

“I’m just not in the mood right now. Just pick her up.”

“Alright.”Taeng gave in. “Talk to her soon, Yul.”

“Right. Thanks Taeng.” Yul hung up.

“What was it?”Tiffany asked Taeng as soon as he put his phone back into his pocket.

“We need to pick Jessica up.”Taeng said calmly as he made a U-turn to head towards Jessica’s house.

“Yul didn’t talk to her?”

“Nope. He’s stupid.”

“Don’t say that. Maybe he’s still mad.”

“But he shouldn’t avoid her. It’ll make things worse.”

“Things will get worse if they talk it out while still being angry.”

Taeng nodded quietly, agreeing to what Tiffany had just said. He didn’t reply instead keeping his eyes on the road with a million thoughts running through his mind. They both were quiet until they reached Jessica’s house.

“Good morning, Jess.”Tiffany said happily.

“Morning.”Jessica replied sadly. She was disappointed. She expected Yul to pick her up like he’ll always do. ‘You’re really mad at me, Yul?’

“Where’s Yul?”Jessica asked after a moment.

“He’s not coming to school.”Taeng answered.

“Why?”

“How would I know?”Taeng answered coldly. He received a glare from Tiffany because of it.

“He doesn’t even want to see me anymore.”Jessica muttered quietly.

“No, Jess. Maybe he’s not feeling well.”Tiffany tried to comfort Jessica.

After that, they stay quiet until they reached school, and hoped that time would pass by fast there.

School was going on like it always. For some students, it was boring, for some it was fun but for Jessica it was the worst school day ever. She felt awful and sometimes she would hide her face on the table to cry. She texted Yul and kept on calling him but none of it was answered.

Taeng and Tiffany noticed how dreadful Jessica was and they even saw her crying at her desk. Taeng didn’t know what to do anymore, since he was never good with consoling people while anything that Tiffany said would only cause Jessica to cry more, so they just kept their mouth shut.

“Taeng, you don’t have to send me home.”Jessica said after coming out of their class. School has already ended.

“What? How you’re going home then?.”Taeng asked.

“I’ll manage.”

“No, come on. I’ll take you home.”Taeng walked towards Jessica and grabbed her hand. Taeng felt responsible to get Jessica home safely since Yul is his bestfriend.

Jessica felt Taeng was pulling her towards the parking area and she struggled to break free from him. “Let me go, Taeng.”Jessica glared at Taeng.

“Yul will be mad if you wander around by yourself.”He dragged Jessica with him towards his car.

“Yul doesn’t care about me anymore, Taeng.”Jessica voice cracked. “He won’t even answer my calls.”

Tiffany who was watching the scene followed them quietly. She felt something stir inside her but she shrugged it off.

“Taeng, please let me go.”Jessica’s voice was weary.

Taeng turned to look at Jessica and saw her crying again. He finally let go of her, feeling guilty immediately. “Why won’t you just let me take you home?”

“I can’t. His car.”Jessica muttered.

Taeng finally understood. Jessica didn’t want to go because of Yul’s car. Maybe she feels worse riding in Yul’s BMW. Taeng sighed.

“You have a chauffeur right?”Taeng asked Jessica.

Jessica nodded.

“Call him, tell him to come here. We’ll wait until you get home.”

Jessica didn’t say anything more and dialled up her chauffeur’s number. Jessica used to have her own personal driver. But when she got together with Yul, it doesn’t seem like she needs him anymore. Yul had driven her around for nearly a year now. It never occurred to her that she might need a chauffeur someday since Yul was always with her.

After watching Jessica’s chauffeur came and drove Jessica home, Taeng and Tiffany went to the car and got in.

“So, where to?”Taeng asked Tiffany but he didn’t hear any answer from her. He looked at Tiffany and saw her daydreaming. Suddenly, he felt mischievous. He moved closer towards Tiffany and pecked her cheek quickly.

Tiffany snapped out from her thoughts and put her hands to her blushing cheeks. “Yah! What was that for?”

Taeng grinned. “For ignoring me.”

“I was not.”

“Well, you didn’t answer me before.”Taeng said. He saw her pouted and he chuckled at the sight. “Do you want to change before going to work?”Taeng asked.

“Huh? Oh, I’m on an off day.”Tiffany answered.

“Really?
