* Since I’m introducing two new goddesses in one chapter, I shall reveal the identity of one.  The Goddess of Eye Smiles/ Insight is indeed Tiffany.

Relationships are never simple...

 GODDESS OF HAPPINESS & CARE’S POV

Days after attending Jessica’s funeral.

And here we are again, fighting...

‘I love you, and only you. I don’t understand why, you keep making me repeat myself. If you still can’t understand that, then I don’t think we should stay together.’ I stated frostily.

‘No please don’t leave me. I’m so sorry, it’s just... I still can’t believe that someone as perfect as you wants, me.’ Tiffany explained, as her eyes moistened.

‘Well believe it. I want you and only you and for the record I’m far from perfect. You just seem to be ignorant to my many flaws.’ I was no longer mad at her, how could I be? She was only afraid of losing me, again. As she parted her lips to utter words of argument, I swiftly placed my finger upon her lips silencing her. I could tell she was confused at my sudden movement, as her eyebrows furrowed, crinkling her nose in the action. I slowly withdrew my finger, once I knew that I had her complete attention.

‘I love you Tiffany.’ I whispered repeatedly against her soft lips. She closed her eyes almost instantly parting her lips, inviting me in, her breathing hitched awaiting my next move. To her disappointment, I progressed no further. I waited as she slowly fluttered her eyelids open, pouting at me, asking me why I didn’t continue.

‘You must practise patience, baby.’ I tutted, as I lazily wrapped my arms around her waist.

‘Hmph, what if I don’t want to?’ Tiffany slyly replied, trailing her fingers underneath my shirt, caressing my back.

‘Oh Fany, no practise means no play.’ I said grinning broadly, as I caught her hands bringing them in front, between the two of us.

‘Fine.’ Tiffany whispered, gazing at me with a deadly pout.

‘You’re just too cute, Fany-ah’ I lovingly told her, as I quickly pecked her on the lips.

Pleased by my actions, her breath-taking eye smile formed taking me captive. She giggled at my open-mouthed reaction to her smile.

‘Hush you, enough of this. Aren’t you hungry?’

‘Famished actually.’ She responded almost too quickly.

‘Good, cause I am too. Do you want to eat in or out?’ I asked, leaving her with the decision.

She contemplated for a while, before coming to a conclusion. ‘In, I like it better when you cook.’

‘I’ll cook, if you tell me why.’ I said testing her.

‘Firstly, because you’re amazing at it, secondly I get to watch your behind swaying side to side, as you prepare our meal. ‘Tiffany hesitantly answered smiling at me.

‘I see.’ I said rather amused, laughing lightly.

‘Oh goodness, I love the sound of your ahjumma laugh it’s heaven to my ears. But you should hurry and prepare our dinner, it’s getting late. ‘Tiffany stated, as she ushered me into the kitchen. Before I had even realised, she already had my apron tied.

‘Thanks Fany.’

Just like that, the two spent their night comfortably eating home-made dinner in front of the television, enjoying each other’s company. Tiffany was in absolute bliss, finally content with the relationship and assured that her girl friend only loved her, unaware of what was ahead.  Even though they argued on a daily basis, even though breaking up was always discussed. Tiffany was convinced that all couples did the same. She was certain that it was how loved worked. Tiffany lovingly nuzzled her head into her girl friend’s chest, happily imagining their future.

***

If only I could tell you everything Tiffany, but I’m just too cowardly to do so. I’m afraid that if I tell you, you’ll leave me and I can’t cope with that. I love you, I know I do. It’s just that, the constant bickering, the constant doubting pushed me away from you, and within that time frame my heart was confused and started to drift. I didn’t mean to kiss him; I didn’t think it would lead to . It was a mistake; well that’s what I keep telling myself. Even so, it didn’t feel like a slip-up. Kangin confessed his love for me, and I’m slowly unintentionally reciprocating his feelings for me. If only I could tell you everything, Fany-ah.

‘Give it to me, please.’

'You're going to have to do better than that.’

'Urgh, but I'm so wet, I'm practically dripping.’

'And whose fault is that?' I teased, as a smirk danced upon my face.

‘Stop with the taunting, and give it to me!'

‘Fine, here take the stupid umbrella, even though I don’t see the point of it considering you’re already drenched.’ I said giving in to her stubbornness.

‘I’d prefer not to be sick, that’s all.’ She coldly spat at me.

Here we go again, fighting.

When did everything become so complicated, and sterile? What happened to those times, when we’d kiss under the rain carelessly, when we made love spontaneously, when were utterly happy oblivious to the world around us, when we were madly in love? It’s all disappeared, and now we’re only left with an illusion of love.

‘Tiffany, I think we should take a break from each other.’ I stuttered, avoiding her eyes.

Her cold expression immediately dissolved into one of fear, and concern, resulting with her dropping the umbrella.  ‘Don’t you love me anymore?’ Tiffany whispered with a heart wrenching tone.

‘No of course I love you; it’s just that I need time to think. I think some distance will be best for our relationship at the moment. ‘I softly reasoned with her.

‘If you love me, then why do you want to leave me?’ she asked rather confused at the brink of crying.

‘I’m not leaving you Fany; it’s just a short break. Like they say distance makes the heart fonder.’ I said, as I looked into her eyes searching for her response.

‘My heart doesn’t need nor want distance to become fonder.’

‘Tiffany please trust me, it will be better for us.’  I whispered pleading with her.

‘Only for you.’ She said finally giving in, looking into my eyes at loss.

I gently cupped her face, gazing directly into her warm brown eyes before bringing our lips together. I kissed her slowly beneath the chilling rain, tenderly caressing her soft lips with my own. As our kiss deepened I could feel hot droplets of tears run against my cheek. I broke away from our kiss, looking in to her once cheerful eyes.

‘Please, don’t cry my Fany-ah it’s only for a short time frame. You know I love you.’ I said to her as I wiped away her tears.

Saying nothing more, she continued to look into my eyes, as if pleading for me to change my mind. I’m sorry Tiffany, but I need this.

As I hastily kissed her on the forehead, I turned immediately and started to walk before she had a chance to react. To my surprise she didn’t try to hold me back, or call out to me. She let me walk away from her, believing that I would return. I also believed that I’d return to her.

Countless days had passed, since the couple’s decision to spend time apart. Tiffany spent most of her days, moping around their apartment waiting for her girl friend’s return. Whilst the goddess on the other hand, was in a completely different situation. Almost immediately after the couple’s decision for a break, the goddess had called Kangin asking him to meet up with her. I need to talk to Kangin oppa and settle all this, so that Tiffany and I can revert to our previous loving ways.

‘Kangin, you came!’ I unwarily yelled excitedly, running up to him.

‘Of course I came, anything for you baby.’ He replied with a cheesy grin, embracing me in a bear hug.

‘Oppa, about that...’ I managed to murmur.

‘Is this about our first night together?’ he asked, smiling at me.

‘Why do you have to say it like that, you know it was a mistake, I love Tiffany.’

‘Stop lying to yourself, you know it wasn’t a mistake, and I didn’t ask you whether you loved Tiffany or not.’ He insisted, still with a caring expression.

‘I’m not, well I don’t think I am. I don’t know I’m confused Kangin.’

‘How did you feel when you spent the night with me?’ He asked, encouraging me to be truthful.

‘I hate to admit it, but I felt happy, during that moment I honestly felt compelled to you. Even so what I did was wrong, I cheated on Tiffany.’ I softly replied, looking down to the floor avoiding eye contact.

He lifted my chin, forcing our eyes to meet. ‘You can’t help the way your heart beats, please don’t be upset, Tiffany would understand, and I felt happy too. I’ve loved you ever since our first meeting, I was just too scared to confess and as I was about to, you started to pursue Tiffany. ‘

I didn’t know what to say, I was at loss of words. Kangin’s loved me all this time? Even so I can’t I’m with Tiffany. Stop this.

 I looked directly into his eyes, pleading him to stop but he merely ignored me.

‘I love you.’ His whispered. I tried to discourage his efforts, by ignoring him but failed.

Thinking that, I didn’t hear him he decided to yell. ‘I love you!’ startling the couple next to us.

‘I can’t do this.’ I cried, abruptly standing up to leave.

With one swift move, he had his arms wrapped around me tightly, denying me the right the run.

‘You can’t run away from love.’ He said, as he swept my fringe off my face.

‘Yes I can!’ I argued angrily, strugglingly against his tight grip, pounding my fists against his solid chest.  Please don’t do this to me Kangin, you’re going to make me admit to loving you...

‘Let me go!’ I continued to scream, still struggling.

‘No’ he whispered into my hair.

‘Don’t!’ I yelled, still fighting against his hold.

Almost suddenly, just like in the movies, time slowed to halt as his lips crashed against mine.  Though I was supposed to pull away, I just couldn’t manage to do so. I could feel the passion spurring through the kiss, as he continued to lock his lips with mine. Almost on cue, I parted my lips inviting him in, desperately wanting more of him. I moaned softly as I felt the warmth of his tongue explore the cavern of my mouth, my body shuddered against his as his hard member rubbed against me.

Due to my surprising discomfort, he pulled away from me and then I realised why, we were in public. I shouldn’t but I can’t resist his temptations. He’s so patient, caring and loving and most importantly, he’s all mine.

‘Baby, I know you’re frustrated but if we keep going I’ll have you right here on this coffee table.’ He whispered in my ear huskily ensuring that I was the only one that could hear him.

Still aroused by the intense kiss, I barely managed to nod; but even so he beamed at me brightly.

‘I’m glad you finally listened to your heart baby.’ He said pulling me suddenly, causing me to stumble onto his lap.  I couldn’t help but shift slightly as rubbed against me. I wanted him. Kangin, you were right I do love you. I just didn’t want to admit it. I was afraid of my feelings, but now I admit I want you and only you. Ever since our first night, I’ve been trying to soothe my ual frustration with Tiffany, but the fire within me just wouldn’t comply.

As he noticed my shifting, he lifted me off his knee and placed me gently beside him, casually laughing at my pouting. ‘I see, some one’s had a change in heart.’

The fire within me was raging, my lust was boiling. I needed him to subdue it, and quickly! I had to take matters into my own hands.

I shuffled closer to him, trailing my fingers along his neck, playfully tugging at his ear. ‘I want you.’ I purred softly letting my hot breath tickle his ear. As he turned to look at me, I moved my hand to his cheek caressing it lightly, biting my lip anticipating his move. To my dismay he restrained from , and instead grasped my hand from his cheek and brought it to his heart. ‘I love you, and I want this to be about love. Not ual lust. Feel that rhythm, as long as my heart continues to beat, it shall be purely yours and yours only.’ He unhurriedly raised my hand to his lips, whispering ‘I love you’ softly against my knuckles. Kangin you are my Mr. Perfect.

‘But before we progress any further, you need to tell Tiffany.’ He said with an utmost adoring expression.

‘I want too, but I’m a...fraid.’ I stuttered.

‘It’s okay beautiful, I’ll be here for you.’ He reassured me.

So here I am standing at the door step, of the apartment I share with my girlfriend, ex-girlfriend? I nervously enter the digits, unlocking the door. I frigidly stepped forward to meet a distraught Tiffany. She looked terrible, it seemed like she had spent her nights crying, waiting for my return. As soon as she saw me, a glow flickered across her eyes; she immediately threw herself at me crying. ‘I thought you left me for good.’ She blubbered. I sat down on the lounge pulling her with me, soothing her in my arms. ‘It’s okay Fany-ah, I’m here now’ I crooned, restlessly.

My heart was conflicted. Yes I love Kangin, but I love Tiffany too, I don’t want to hurt her. But if I want any future with Kangin I need to tell Tiffany.

The goddess anxiously waited till Tiffany had completely calmed down, before telling her the information.

‘Tiffany, I have something to confess please don’t say anything till I finish talking okay?’

The younger girl, nodded carefully.

‘Whilst we were fighting, I slept with Kangin... and from there I started to develop feelings for him. Even though I didn’t see him, I still thought of him. He consumed my thoughts daily. I hated it. I tried so hard to ignore my feelings, to ignore everything, so that I could be with you.  But it didn’t work, as the tension grew between us, the love I had for him grew as well. That’s why I suggested the break, hoping that time would fix my heart, but instead it only made me realise that I want to be with him.’

Surprisingly Tiffany was still calm as she asked, ‘Did you ever love me?’

The goddess quite shocked by the bluntness of Tiffany’s question quickly answered, ‘Of course I did, I was happy with us in the beginning but things just changed, and Tiffany I still love you, but as my best friend.’

‘Get out.’ Tiffany calmly said.

‘Tiffany, please don’t do this, I don’t want to lose you.’

‘Please, get out’ Tiffany repeated once again, in the same calm tone.

Now it was my turn to cry. Didn’t she care? Didn’t she want to be at least friends; after all we’ve been through. How can she just tell me to leave calmly, not even flinching a muscle.

‘I’ll leave, but just know I’m only a call away. I love you Tiffany, don’t forget that.’ I said turning my back and closing the door behind me.

Tiffany calmly watched as her ex-girlfriend walked out of the apartment, closing the door behind her. She waited till her ex-girlfriend’s footsteps became distant, before completely falling apart collapsing on the floor. She cried out in pain, as her heart shattered into a million pieces within her. She continued to cry heart wrenchingly upon the floor, as she continued to scream in agony her breathing became strained. Ignoring the intense tearing throb in she continued to cry horrendously to the point where each breathe earned a death throttle.

She harshly clawed at and chest trying to ease the burning inferno within her, but it was pointless...

The goddess was suddenly overwhelmed by an uneasy pang; she immediately knew Tiffany was in trouble. Without delay she changed her direction and ran back towards, the apartment door, blindly smashing the digits into the lock, hoping that her gut feeling was wrong. The door opened torturously slow, revealing Tiffany’s wounded body in a pool of blood. The goddesses’ legs collapsed beneath her,’ Tiffany, no, no, how could you be so naive?’ what were you thinking?’ I yelled as crawled to her scar covered corpse, hugging her body tightly. ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong I love you, I don’t love him, please come back to me.’ But it was all too late, Tiffany was gone. The goddess wasn’t able to handle the situation before her; she couldn’t accept the fact that she stupidly caused the death of her love.  As the minutes ticked by with the goddess hugging Tiffany’s now cold corpse, she fell in to insanity. ‘You’ll be fine, it’s just a little blood, you’re only sleeping right Fany-ah. ‘

‘Wake up Fany.’

‘Fany wake up!’

‘Fany’

‘Tippany’

‘Wake up!’

She screamed shaking Tiffany’s corpse roughly.

‘Sleepyhead, it’s time to open your eyes.’ she said to Tiffany’s corpse, giggling insanely.

That very night, whether it was the full moon’s glorious glow that caught her attention or her just wanting fresh air. She jumped off their apartment’s balcony.

GODDESS OF BEAUTY & THE ICE GODDESSES’ POV

‘Sica, why do they have a red cross above their heads?’

‘Yoongie, it means they’re going to die today, which makes it’s our job to protect them today.’

‘But I still don’t know how.’ Yoona answered confused.

‘I don’t know how exactly either, but we need to try.’ Jessica assured her.

‘We can do this, hwaiting!’ they cheered full of hope.

‘Yoongie...I’ve already scanned the situation, there’s nothing we can do to save them.’ Jessica informed the doe-eyed girl reluctantly.

‘But why?’

‘It’s because, they take their own lives.’ Jessica almost whispered.

‘But we can’t just watch them die, we have to do something Jessica, what happened to our pact!’ Yoona burst out angrily.

‘I know Yoongie, but there’s honestly nothing we can do.’ Jessica said softly, looking below them at their two best friends.

‘Jessica, they’re our best friends, you expect me to watch them kill themselves.’

‘There’s nothing else, Yoona.’

‘Jessica, why are you so calm about all this! Don’t you care about them? They’re about to die, and you’re just standing here telling me to watch.’ Yoona yelled, as she shook Jessica by her shoulders.

‘Im Yoona, you calm down for a moment. Don’t you dare accuse me of not caring about them, I love them as much as you do and more. It’s just I’ve already had to watch you die. Yes it was excruciating, yes I felt utterly helpless, but it was okay because I knew you’d be okay with sacrificing your life for Taecyeon. ‘Jessica argued.

‘I’m so sorry Jessica, I didn’t think of it like that, please forgive me?’ Yoona realising that she had made a horrible accusation immediately pleaded for forgiveness.

‘Yoona its fine, you’re still new to this. Best friends; don’t need to ask for forgiveness. We expect it, remember?’ Jessica said laughing rather amused.

‘Oh Sica, how I love you.’ Yoona giggled.

‘Doesn’t everybody.’ Jessica jokingly scoffed.

‘Here hold my hand we’ll get through this together Yoona, I promise. Soon two more of our best friends will be joining us here. It’s all going to be okay.’ Jessica continued to reassure the younger girl, who seemed so lost and confused by the new world recently introduced to her.
