said it's over, but I lied.

----------------------------------------------

 

 

 

Two pairs of prying eyes behind, wearing a black tuxedo, sunglasses and a smirk. They are taller than the tan guy as they stop behind him, looking furiously to Taeyeon and Fany.

 

“Guys? What are you doing here?”

 

Before Taeyeon and Fany could respond, the two men had abruptly pushed Yul aside already, surprising the latter. He stared in confused to the two men. But before he could fight back, another man appeared in the corner, much to his surprised again.

 

The couple stared back and fined the same man that they’ve been avoiding was in the same place with them. Taeyeon steps back together with Fany, the same goes for Yul.

 

“I knew it, I’ll just spot you here.” grins immediately was seen from him as he steps forward.

 

This made Fany frightens, she holds in her girlfriend’s arm, afraid that the latter will snaps her back again. Taeyeon would’ve let go immediately, but her mind suddenly.

 

It took her a while to realize the meaning of Fany's grasp in her, before her forward. “Mr. Hwang, it’s over… your daughter, is now all yours. “She determinedly said, grabbing fany’s hand and make her face her father.

 

Yul and Mr. Hwang stared in disbelief to the petite girl. This isn’t the Taeyeon, Yul all thought.

 

“What are you doing Taeyeon-ssi?” asked Yul.

 

“Wow! I am proud of you. So you realize it now?” Mr. Hwang victoriously acclaimed.

 

Taeyeon nods and brave enough to let go of her lover, she pushed the still crying eye-smiled girl towards her father. "Fany... I'm sorry... It's the least I can do…. It's-it’s… over between us." she said with a heavy heart. Her tears were tempting to fall as she tried herself to hold it in.

 

Fany stared in disbelief to her girlfriend. Her hold earlier was a cut in her heart. The tears that streams down her eyes were non-stop. She couldn’t believe it. Where was the promise now? That they’ll love each other and won’t give up on it? it’s just unbearable to think but it’s the reality. She let go of her, the girl she almost love for her entire 20 years of existence can simply pushed her that easily.

 

Is it easy to let go? She wants to asked it for her but she can never now. She can never hold her back now or can she?

 

“Tae-tae?” she manage to say before she always already being drag by her own father. She watches as her visions were getting far from her. in dazed, she wishes to stop the time now to fitght with her father and go back for her, but she’s just too weak. She’s just too weak now with the pain she is holding.

 

Tae-tae… why?

 

She asked in such a low voice that only her can hear. By the time she lost her visions for her, she was already dead in a seat together with her father. Her girlfriend’s image still lingering in her mind. Her girlfriend that never did look her back is the most painful for her.

 

“Let’s go now.” A faint voice from her father made her realize that she can never have her again. She buried herself to her palms and cried out.

 

It’s all OVER now.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It was fast. Taeyeon snaps back to reality the moment the car drives away from them. The two men who were holding them in place had finally let go and she drops to the ground.

 

Tears started to form in her eyes. She needs to stand in her decision. Fany will never be happy in her side, or she thought?

For her, she just did the right thing to do. She needs to let go of her to fix herself. She will never be proud of herself, if one day, Fany will live with her with nothing in their pockets. The thought of her girlfriend living in a mansion still prefers for her rather than seeing the latter living in Im's residence that she thought not a good advice. Fany has her own family and should be stay there. Plus, seeing the latter hiding from her father pains her so much. She wanted to end it and so she did, she gives her back to her father.

 

“I’m sorry… fany.” The same goes for her, she buried her face to her palms and cried out, wanted to release all her disappointments to herself. It’s hard to let go, but she chooses let go.

 

Yuri on the other hand can only bend down and pulled the older girl to a comforting embrace. This is all he always do, keeping someone who is down in safe to his arms. He rubs the latter’s back and whispers… “It’s okay… Taeyeon-ssi… .”

 

She didn’t respond and continues to cry in his warm comforting arms.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A sound of music was heard upon arriving at the restaurant. She scanned the place to spot her two parents and there, she spotted them in the corner where they can freely view the street.

Wearing a smile, she walks slowly to where they are. But before she could surprise them, her father had already spotted her. it makes her brightens even more.

 

“Look who’s y in her HRM uniform.” She was greeted by a grin from her father before she could sat beside her mother.

 

“And look who’s gorgeous with his suit and… “ turning to her right, she teases her mother. “look who’s this young wife who seems to be enjoying her night?”

 

Mr. and Mrs. Jung giggles with their daughter’s antics.

 

“Anyway, let’s call the waiter now?” Mr. Jung suggested.

 

“Oh wait… I won’t eat dinner Dad, I had a great dinner with my friend.” She shared happily, thinking of the tan guy earlier.

 

“Fine… waiter!”

 

Mr.and Mrs. Jung just proceeds to order their dinner and soon, they started to eat while Jessica only has a desert.

 

------------------

 

“So… I’ve heard Yunho is back?” asked Mr. Jung, as he finished his own desert. They’ve been chatting a lot earlier until it ended with Yunho.

 

“Omo, Yunho? Dear? He’s back at the Hotel?” also surprised, Mrs. Jung asked.

 

Jessica contemplated to answer. What she always expect is her parents to be excite to know her old friend back at the hotel. It’s been a while and it seems her parents were still interested to the guy.

 

“So will this be a chance?”

 

Jessica shot raising eyebrows to her father. “De?” she innocently wants a further words.

 

“Honey, you still love to see him as your son-in law?” turning her attention to her mother, she then finally gets it. a while ago, she wishes that the topic won’t brought out but guess? Her father still does.

 

“Not literally, but you see… he’s back and I guess… it’ll be perfect time. I’ve known you for so long Jess… you’ve been to Yoong and now Yul? Both aren’t deserving for you… so I guess, Yunho would be perfect. His background is good, a hardworking person and above all? It seems like, you guys are destined.”

 

“Destined? Are you sure, Dad?” couldn’t believe what she just heard, Jessica wants to asked. She scoffs a little for some reason.

 

“Yes I do. you see… he left the hotel and then got back again, to reunite with his old friend. Wasn’t that enough?”

 

“Your so funny dad.”

 

“It is.” Mrs. Jung agrees.

 

“But I am serious.”

 

Jessica almost choke with her own desert. She gulps and looked up to her father.

 

“I want you to choose Yunho this time honey.”

 

Jessica put her utensil on the side to answers her father, which she observes a little bit ridiculous. “Dad, I thought we’ve talk about this now? I am happy with no one in my side at the moment and besides I am—“

 

“In love with that choir member? Yul? Look, honey… he never loves you”

 

“But he love me for once.”

 

“But you say, that was a long time ago. Come to think of it? Yoong dumps you… and Yul sure does too. I just don’t want my princess to be forever empty.”

 

“I was never a empty Dad… Yul and Yoong were still there for me.” she defended.

 

“Honey… I and your mom just want the best for you. And I do think Yunho likes you too.” Mr. Jung determinedly said. He has known Yunho for a year and really of him. Now that he's back at the hotel. He can see his old plan to be a reality.

 

“How sure you are?”

 

“99% percent.”

 

“See… and… have you ever thought? I only see him as a brother to me. Nothing more.” Jessica whines.

 

“I know… but in this time? There’s no 'love' now.” Mr. Jung raises his shoulders.

 

“What about you and mom?”

 

Mr. Jung felt silent after hearing the question, he turned to his wife and a little bit chuckling after he noticed his wife is giggling with their non sense fight. It was right, he and his wife were both married because of love.

 

“Fine, you win.” He rolled his eyes.

 

“Then?”

 

Sighed.

 

“Just give me one reason why I should like this guy? I’ve known that guy for so long now. He’s only dedicated if he’s—“

 

“interested with something? like his father? Dad, you know they’re totally different.” Irritated, Jessica once again defends her friend. "Look how he is so active at school? he does all things accordingly."

 

Another shots from his daughter, Mr. Jung could no longer see his way out. He knows he should not interfere his daughter’s love life, but how can he? He’s just a father who wants a good partner for his daughter in the future.

 

“Alright, I’ll consider him. But—“

 

“I’m telling you Dad, I’m confident that Yul still love me.”

 

Mrs. Jung laughs this time, amuse to her daughter’s own beliefs. “So proud of your confident honey.” She said, earning both of Jessica and Mr. Jung.

 

“Anyway, let’s stop talking about your love life Jess… I think we need to go home.” Mr. Jung announced, gathering their things on the side.

 

Jessica and her mom just simply smile in agreement, following the head of the family.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

A creak sound was heard, as the door was gently pushed gently to the side, revealing the mini living room of SEO residence.

 

After she opened the door, she turned and immediately a warm and contented smile formed into her lips, showing it to the doe-eyed guy.

It’s the best night for her. She celebrated her birthday twice; yesterday with her friends and just a while ago, with her special someone. Though her birthday will be tomorrow, all this celebrations were just too overwhelmed for her to ask for more. She was grateful to have her family and friends. 

 

Now, what's left for her, is to how to pay them back.

 

"Yoong?"

 

The doe-eyed guy simply wrote another text as a respond… ‘What are you going to do tomorrow?’

 

She raised a brow after reading the text. “I guess I’ll need to continue my study session. What about you? Don’t tell me, you’re not studying?” she glared.

 

As if got caught, the doe-eyed guy immediately wave his hand, telling the latter that he’s indeed studying.

 

“Are you sure?”

 

Yoong raised his chin and patted his chest. “I am.” He mutters.

 

“Hmm… let’s see then. If I still top for this final exam, I’ll smack your head.” The younger threatened. This is going to be her first time to threat someone and it seems she’ll enjoy this.

 

But only a smack? In Yoong’s mind, it is just too simple. His lips formed into a smirk as he thought for a moment to respond.

 

“Say now?” the younger waited, crossing her two arms near her chest. A smirk also formed into her lips but later then it hits her. it’s just too small. “Wait—“

 

Before she could utter another word, the doe-eyed guy had already shown a text to her, telling her…

 

If I’m going to top this exam. You need to kiss me. On THE LIPS.

 

She almost hit the naughty boy friend of her, on his arms after reading it. “How can you do that? There’s no way!!!” she gladly showed her disapproval as she exclaimed.

 

The doe-eyed guy only raised his shoulders, giggling.

 

“Aish! I won’t ever. But wait… I’ll change mine.” The younger immediately grabs back what she
