Confrontation
Love in my life
Tiffany stood on the street waiting for the bus to come. She just finished talking to Taecyeon.
Taecyeon went back to the dance club after talking to her. Tiffany didn't go with him because
she needed be alone for awhile. The conversation with Taecyeon was troubling her. Her mind
felt like something was burning inside. Her heart felt like a arrow just pierce into it. When the bus
arrived, she took her spot in the row. She spotted an old lady with tons of grocery bags running to
the the bus stop. She ran but fell all her fruits she brought on the ground. The people who was
saw her didn't even move an inch to help her. All of them stood there and didn't care. Tiffany,
who didn't want to be like them, walked to the old lady and helped her pick up the fruits. She
also insisted to help her hold her bags too. The old lady thanked her. They got up and look that
the bus was ready to leave. Tiffany ran like hell and yelled to the driver to wait for them. Tiffany
was tired but at least she made it in the bus with the old lady. In the bus, Tiffany kept glaring
at the people who didn't help the old lady. Was it in Korean that you should help the elderly...
Tiffany sat beside the old lady with the grocery between her knees.
Old lady : Thank you so much. If it wasn't you, well I wouldn't be in the bus.
Tiffany : No worries halmuhnee. You should be more careful next time.
Old lady : Yes (Noobs)
Tiffany : By the way, halmuhnee? What stop is near your house?
Old lady : (Looks outside) Almost there. And don't worry. I should be fine going alone. You should
go home.
Tiffany : It's okay. I have time.
Old lady : (Pats Tiffany's hand) Such a nice girl.
Tiffany : By the way, my name is Tiffany. Tiffany Hwang or Hwang Mi-young.
Old lady : Such a nice name for a nice girl. You can call me Hanni.
Tiffany : Halmuh...Hanni-san. (Smiles)
When the bus arrived at the stop of Hanni-san. Tiffany helped her carry the bags and left the bus with her.
They walked together to halmuhnee's place. For some reason, Tiffane felt that this place was familiar.
It was a rich neighbourhood not like hers. House's were big and the street was empty of cars. Tiffany
felt like she been here before. Tiffany was walking with the heavy bags on her hand. She was tired
and felt like collapsing because her leg was drained. She continues walking with a smile on her face
because she wouldn't want the halmuhnee to notice. She had a responsibility to help the elderly.
They suddenly stop in front of a house. Tiffany looked up and was surprised. This house, this
familiar house, this place,this car, no way!
Tiffany : (Don't tell me she's his grandmother) Um..Halmuhnee..Do you live here?
Hanni-san: Yes. Why?
Tiffany : (Hid her worries) Nothing.
Tiffany let the bags fall on the ground without dropping anything. She bowed to halmuhnee.
Tiffany : I think its time I go. Be safe halmuhnee.
She was about to go but Hanni-san held her shoulder.
Hanni-san : Come inside. I'll make something to eat for you. It's the least I can do after you help me.
TIffany didn't had a choice and went inside. She hoped that he wasn't home yet. In the house, things
have changed in her since last time Tiffany came in here. Tiffany and Hanni-san let the bags fall on
the table of the kitchen. Hanni-san told Tiffany to sit on the chair and offered some tea. Tiffany drank
it as quickly as it can even tough it's hot. She really wanted to get away from this place. Hanni-san
went back to the kitchen to cook something for her. All Tiffany can do is wait and hope that he
won't be here. Just as the food arrived, a guy entered the house and walked to the kitchen. Tiffany
looked at him and immidietly hid her face. The guy was shocked for a bit because of her
presence in her house.
Hanni-san : Ah! Nichkhun. You've come back.
Nichkhun : Tiffany? Why are you in my house?
Tiffany : (Worrying) Ummm....
Hanni-san : You know this girl? She helped me with my bags so I invited her for some tea and some
cake.(Waved at Nichkhun to come sit) Khun, come here and joined us. You can introduce me to your
friend too.
It was quite akward while Tiffany was eating the cake. Hanni-san was chatting all sorts of things.
To Nichkhun's birth place to her cake recipe. Tiffany wasn't even paying attention to Nichkhun.
She didn't look directly at his eyes. All she was doing was eating her cake and listenning to
halmuhnee's words. For Nichkhun, he kept gazing at Tiffany when her grandmother wasn't looking
at him. He wa worried about her. After finishing up the cake, Hanni-san went upstairs to let them
talked for a bit because she felt tension between them. They were now sitting on the couch
of the living room. It was silent for a bit until Nichkhun started to speak.
Nichkhun : It was a good cake.
Still silent.
Tiffany didn't want to stay here. She didn't want to look at him nor talk to him after what she found
out. She stood up and walked to the door. Nichkhun followed her and held her against the wall.
Tiffany was trapped. She couldn't do anything other than look down.
Nichkhun : What's the matter with you?
Tiffany : Can you let go of me. I need to go.
Nichkhun : Tell me what's troubling you then I'll let you go.
Tiffany tried to moved but couldn't.
Tiffany : Please...Let go of me.
Nichkhun noticed her sad aura. He didn't want her to fell this way. All he could do now is let go of her
and let her leave. Tiffany walked away from him and went to the door. She opened it and saw a girl
in front of her. It was that girl she saw before. That girl from Nichkhun's past. That girl she felt hurt.
Girl : Oh Annyoung! (Waved at Tiffany and Nichkhun)
And then, the three of them are now in the living room.
Tension was rising in the room. Tiffany was sitting on a chair. Nichkhun and the girl were sitting on the
couch. Silent filled the room until the girl spoke.
Girl : Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Victoria. Victoria Sung. And you?
Tiffany : Tiffany. Tiffany Hwang.
Victoria : English name! From US?
Tiffany : Yes. Diamond Bar, California.
Victoria : I'm from Qingdao,China. My name is english but I'm origin chinese.
Tiffany : You can speak korean?
Victoria : Yes. I've lived here when I was in middle school. And now, I'm back. My family moved back here
because our company wanted to be heartquarted in Korean instead of China.
Tiffany : Company?
Victoria : Yeah. My family is head of the trade system between Korea and China.
Tiffany : (Amazed)
Victoria : And now I'm back here to study and finish high school here. (Looks at the silen Nichkhun) I
presume your a friend of Nichkhun or something.
Tiffany : Friend. Same school.
Victoria : You came here...?
Tiffany : Oh. Just helped her grandmother with the bags.
Victoria : Ah jinja! Hanni-san?! Such a nice girl. Thank you.
Tiffany : No worries.
Victoria : Anyway, I need to leave. I got things to unpack.
Victoria stood up. She bent down to Nichkhun's ears and said something in it. Tiffany was heating up
with anger and jealous.She then bowed and said goodbye to Tiffany. After that, she left the house leaving
the two of them alone in the living room. Tiffany immidietly pick her bag and headed to the door. She
opened it but was closed by Nichkhun's hand. Tiffany turned around and looks at him.
Nichkhun : It's not what you're thinking.
Tiffany : Please let me go. And I don't know what you're talking about.
Nichkhun : She's a friend. That's all.
Tiffany couldn't keep it in her mind. She wanted to confront him.
Tiffany : Yah right....Someone you promise to marry with....
Nichkhun frozed for a moment. He couldn't believe it that she knew. He looked down, let his hand of the door.
Nichkhun : I'm sorry.
Tiffany let all her frustation into him.
Tiffany : I can believe you...
Tiffany felt cheated or something. Even tough she's not dating him but she loved him. And knowing that his
heart wasn't totally at her. She felt anger and heart broken. This feeling wasn't the first time. Nichkhun looked
back up and held her hands.
Nichkhun : It's just an arrange marriage.
Tiffany : Arrange? And you accepted it before ! But she left you when you were together in middle school.
Nichkhun : How much you know?
Tiffany : I know the right ammount....You dated her when you were in middle school. You're parents and hers
settled an arrange marriage between you two. You two accepted it but one day, she left you. You were
heartbroken because you loved her so much. She's the girl that made you change your love from Yoona.
She's the one that you can't let go off even tough she did that to you.She's the only girl you'll...ever...love.
(Tearing eyes)
Nichkhun : No. I love you.
That's all Nichkhu could say.
TIffany : (Disgust) Say it to someone else...
TIffany let got of his hands and ran to the door. She stopped for a moment and looked at Nichkhun.
TIffany : (I'm sorry) Please don't come near me again.
She then went away. Nichkhun stood there motionless. He sat on the floor and looked down. His hands were
on his head. His head was on his knees.
Nichkhun : I'm sorry...
Tiffany ran and ran. She ran at least a mile. She couldn't take it anymore. Love is so hard. She couldn't handle
it anymore. She couldn't handle him anymore. Tiffany stopped for awhile.She sat on the road and cried.
She was hurt. Hurt because she loved him to much. She knew that his love for her could never be real
because he was with someone else. Tiffany thought of letting him go. Can she?
Tiffany stood back up and didn't cry anymore. She took her cellphone and called someone. The person
answered.
Tiffany : Annyoung? Wooyoung?
Wooyoung : Tiffany? Yes.
Tiffany : How are you?
Wooyoung : Good you?
Tiffany : Good.
Wooyoung : So what's up.
Tiffany : Can I come to the bookstore or is it busy there?
Wooyoung : Come come. It's okay.
Tiffany : Be there in a second.
Tiffany ended the call and ran to the bookstore. She wanted to have so fun and the first thing and person she
thought of was him for a reason.
