CHAPTER 22

       “TAE TAE…,” the husky voice was heard, calling out her lover name seductively hence making the latter nerves getting tense already.

       “Hmmmh?” Taeyeon responded, but didn’t tilt her head even for an inch, making Tiffany frowned.

       Losing his patience, Tiffany rose from the bed, getting approach Taeyeon who was still concentrating in front of her laptop and didn’t really pay an attention to her. She clutched her arms around her neck from behind and ended the wrap by intertwining her own fingers, and deliberately rested them on Taeyeon’s chest. While leaning her head on her left shoulder, she whispered (seductively again) in purpose.

       “Tae tae, what are you doing?” she asked; her warm breath tickled Taeyeon’s neck and, of course, distracted her concentration. Tayeon groaned and Tiffany giggled in victory as she’d already known it worked.

       “Jamkanman, Fanny~aaa,” Taeyeon replied briefly; her eyes were still sticking at the screen though actually she knew she couldn’t stand it anymore in the next second; however Tiffany didn’t give up easily. She brushed her lips to Taeyon’s cheek gently; making the latter groaned again.

       “I’m…,” Taeyeon trailed off, trying hard to keep focusing. “… playing the Sims,” she continued.

       Tiffany put her eyes on the monitor as well and frowned again, trying to figure out what her lover was doing. She caught Taeyeon was clicking one of the girls with brunette hair to display the options. In a blink, there’re some options popped at the screen.

       Quick peck.

       Hug.

       Make out.

       Talk.

       Taeyeon smirked and mumbled. “What I suppose to choose, Baby?”

       Tiffany didn’t answer fast as she still paid attention to the game. Unconsciously she spread smile once she knew her lover created their own characters on that game. She giggled as she got the knowledge that the brunette girl was referred to Taeyeon; and the girl that was standing in front of the brunette one was no other than her.

       “Ummm,” Tiffany knitted her eyebrows together. “Isn’t there any other options?” Tiffany mumbled.

       “Huh?” Taeyeon finally tilted her head.

       “Can’t ‘Taeyeon’ do anything else?”

       “In this game?” Taeyeon said. “No,” she smiled. “But in real life, yes,” she answered dorkily; earning a cute peck from Tiffany.

       “You’re silly,” Tiffany said.

       “What do you want ‘Taeyeon’ to do?” Taeyeon asked patiently.

       “Ummm… something more challenge, perhaps? The options were less challenge, anyway,” Tiffany mumbled again.

       “Something more challenge?” Taeyeon repeated. She felt Tiffany nodded her head as she’s still leaning her head on her shoulder.

       “Yeah, making love, perhaps,” Tiffany said. Taeyeon couldn’t help but laugh hard.

       “Wae?” Tiffany frowned in bemusement again. “Anything funny?”

       “Yes. Babo,” Taeyeon mumbled, trying hard to hold her laugh. “Jamkan…,” she trailed off and moved the mouse again to move both of them to climb onto the bed. “Bwara!” she asked her to watch while doing right-click on the mouse. In a blink, there’re some options emerged again.

       Tiffany eyes widened in amusement and suddenly she clasped her hand and laughed hard. Taeyeon smiled complacently witnessing her childish action.

       “Making love… Woo-hoo… Cuddle…,” Tiffany mentioned the options one by one.

       “Making love! Making love!” she clasped her hands again in excitement. Taeyeon grinned.

       “So you get it now?” Taeyeon asked playfully. “You have to move them to bed or to the pool to do ‘something challenge’. Because you know, it would be difficult to do something challenge just by standing face by face at the living room,” she said and made her tone seemed serious. Tiffany couldn’t help but pecking her cheek again.

       “Come on, let’s them making love, Taeng,” she ordered again in enthusiasm. But strangely, Taeyeon just moved the mouse again to “EXIT” bar then quickly pressed Alt + F4 to shut down the laptop; earning a disappointment frowned from Tiffany.

       “Yah… Jaemiobsso,” she mumbled “you’re not fun” remarks in protest tone. “Why you didn’t do what I want?” she pouted and turned down her lips. Taeyeon giggled again and slowly rose from the chair; and before Tiffany saw it coming, she already ed Tiffany’s clothes.

       Taeyeon smirked naughtily and dragged her gently to the bed. Finally Tiffany smiled once she knew what her dork lover was about going to do.

       “Still dare to say that I’m not fun?” she whispered as she placed her gently on the bed.

       Tiffany shook her head cutely and pulled her to the bed as well; making the latter stumbled into bed and kissed her afterward.

       “Good kid,” Taeyeon murmured. “Because I think I prefer to do it in real life than…”

       “Can’t you just stop teasing me and make it fast?” Tiffany cut off her sentences and made another protest expression on her face; while her hand already began to her short impatiently. Taeyeon saw her impatience and giggled again. Once she caught Tiffany already slightly panted, she dropped another kiss and murmured.

       “Let’s rock the night, Baby.” she winked.

       Taeyeon yawned lazily that morning and still with her half-consciousness, her hand scrabbled around the bed; however once it found only vacant space beside her, she quickly opened up her eyes and jolted in surprise.

(Where’s her? It’s unordinary to find her not be beside me when I woke up in the morning)

       “Hmhhh… Arasseoyo, Appa,” suddenly she overheard Tiffany’s voice from the bathroom.

       “Ne… ne…,” Tiffany said again. “Since Taeyeon is my manager, I have to ask her permission first…,” Taeyeon caught her remark again.

(What? What to ask my permission first?)

       “Okay, I’ll tell you later,” with that Tiffany stepped out from the bathroom and as she noticed Taeyeon already woke up she beamed her smile. She jumped onto the bed and gave her quick morning peck as usual.

      “Morning, Tae,” she greeted cheerfully.

       “Morning,” Taeyeon replied and threw her a baffled look. Tiffany caught it and widened her smile as she already known what’s on her mind.

       “I’m not sure you’re cool with it,” Tiffany told her. “But don’t worry; you might have heard that I’d like to ask your permission first.”

       Taeyeon nodded her head and stared at her. “What’s it about, Baby?”

       “Hmmh, you know Choi Enterprise?” she asked her. Taeyeon thought for a moment; the name was familiar and it’s one of entertainment and advertising company, but she remembered well she had never did any cooperation or contract with that company.

       “That company offered an interesting deal for me…,” Tiffany trailed off while scrutinizing Taeyeon’s expression. But the later kept putting impassive mark, so Tiffany just decided to went on.

       “The chairman asked my father to persuade me as well.”

       “What kind of offer? If it would reveal your asset even if just a bit, you’d already know the answer,” Taeyeon stated firmly. Taeyeon’s jealousy statement made her giggling complacently. Spontaneously, Tiffany brushed her cheek against hers.

       “I won’t accept it as well, Silly,” she uttered. “Mine is only yours,” she whispered sincerely.

       Taeyeon smiled satisfyingly heard her remarks.

       “They wanted me to cast a commercial,” Tiffany explained again.

       Taeyeon frowned. “What CF? Is there any hot scene? CF?”

       Tiffany giggled again and smacked her chest playfully. “Aishhh… Stop thinking dirty!”

       “Aigooo… why did you smack at me?” Taeyeon pretended to be hurt. “Moreover, you made me think that way since you said I wouldn’t be cool with it,” she smirked.

       “Because…,” Tiffany paused momentarily and made a worried face.

       “Aish, my girl… just don’t spin out the time, would you? You talk to me like to talk to a monster,” she giggled. “Am I that scary?”

       Tiffany nodded her head cutely. “I’m always afraid to make you hurt… or mad… or sad, Taeng.”

      Taeyeon cupped her cheek and kissed her forehead warmly.

      “Let’s make it clear,” she chuckled afterward. “No revealing assets, no hot scene, no intimacy. Why I should be worry, then?”

      “Because… The chairman of Choi Enterprise is Siwon’s father, Taeng.”

       CHOI ENTERPRISE.

       The name banner was pinned in the front of the building. Taeyeon rolled down the window and peered up to look how high this building.

       “He must be very rich,” Taeyeon said. Tiffany assented.

       “Choi generation is indeed rich, Taeng,” she said. “I hate to say this, but… my father’s friend and relations are all from high-class population. He wouldn’t make any business with the one who he thought wasn’t equal with him.”

       Taeyeon shook her head in disbelief hearing Tiffany confession.

(Damn… that crap… Sometimes I wonder if Tiffany doesn’t have any blood linkage with him. I mean she had angelic heart… a far cry from his behavior…)

       Taeyeon drove the car aside, put the gear on P, and turned off the engine.

       “Taeng,” Tiffany called out her name before she got out. Taeyeon tilted her head and beamed smile.

      “Ne?”

      “Are you sure you want me to take the CF?” she asked dubiously. “You know I’d be just fine if I don’t take it. And if you allowed me to do it because you considered my father, this time I assure you once again, it isn’t necessary…”

       “I don’t want you let me do it for any particular reason unless because it’s you – because you genuinely and literally want me to do it.”

       “Because if I haven’t told you yet… Let me let you know now, for me your want and your feeling are above at everything in this world. I’ll make sure that protecting your heart is my priority above all.”

       Taeyeon widened her smile listening for her sincere admission. She shook her head and caressed her cheeks.

       “Don’t make me falling into you this deep, would you?” she asked.

       Tiffany frowned.

       “Because I’m afraid I couldn’t give you in any return… as much as you’d already given to me,” Taeyeon said sincerely; her eyes were slightly watery.

       “Don’t say that, Tae,” Tiffany smiled and leaned forward.

       “Don’t talk about giving in return. A pure love didn’t request any condition… and…”

       “As long as you’re still providing your heart for me only I promise I wouldn’t ask for more.”
