CHAPTER 25

       “I’ve already told you,” the man gentle voice was heard; sounded patient enough. “Don’t forget to wear any scarf whenever you’re standing outside,” he chuckled then wrapping the pink scarf around the girl neck carefully.

       “I don’t want you’re getting cold.”

       The girl tilted her head after finishing to watch the last snow dropping and beamed him an innocent smile; making the latter never able to be mad at her.

       The man touched the pinkish cheek carefully before angling his head and planting a kiss on her lips.

       Another December breeze blown, hitting their face; making him tucked her straddles of hair behind her ears.

       “Thank you for loving me during this time,” she said sincerely while staring at him; making the latter smiled satisfyingly.

       “You don’t need to say that,” he shook his head. “I’d do anything for you because I love you.”

       The girl didn’t say anything but she slightly tip toe and pulled his neck closer.

       “You won’t leave me, rite?” he asked her.

       “Silly question,” the girl giggled hearing the question.

       “Because I really couldn’t live without you,” the man continued seriously.

       “Of course I wouldn’t,” she leaned forward. “I love you too, Nick.”

       The man smiled again before brushing his lips toward her.

       “I love you again, Stephanie Hwang Mi Young.”

Here is the original chapter and...

Happy holiday!

If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting 
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has 
Turned to gray
Watching through windows--you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

(Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper)

CHAPTER 25

       Jessica was still sleeping peacefully, nestled into Yuri’s hug when suddenly her cell-phone was ringing unstoppably; making both of them groaned in annoyance.

       Yuri was the first who opened up the eyes; struggled hard to kill the drowsiness in order to find the cell-phone and was planning to release some harsh words to whomever calling in the middle night like this. Jessica blinked few times and grumped as well.

       “Seobang~aaa… Can you mute it?” she mumbled, still half-consciousness.

       “It’s very irritating,” she babbled again.

       Yuri who was still adjusted her sight with the sudden light still made a chance to give her quick peck.

       “I’m working on it, Baby,” she said with her sleepy voice.

       “Where’re you put it?” she asked again, but she just found the latter already fell asleep again.

       She chuckled amazingly and smiled; while her hand scrabbling around their bed and finally found the cell-phone. But instead of releasing her tantrum, her eyes just widened and she totally just regained her full consciousness once she discovered the caller.

       “Ya, Fanny~aaa? This is Yuri,” she picked up the phone. “Jessica was sleeping,” she added briefly, without any need to explain that they’re sleeping together. Tiffany of course had already the knowledge, she’s sure about it.

       Jessica who overheard her name was mentioned, once again opened up her eyes. Similar to Yuri now the drowsiness just like already gone away as she felt sudden alarm emerged inside her heart.

       “Who’s it Seobang?” she asked. Yuri mouthed “Tiffany” to her and lifted her hand, giving a cue for her to hold on.

       “I’m sorry for bothering you this late night,” Tiffany said and Yuri was sure she wasn’t good at all. Her voice was definitely cracked and that meant… something bad had already happened.

      “Tiff, what’s happened? Are you okay?” Yuri asked confusingly.

      “Tae hadn’t come back yet,” she explained, couldn’t hold her sob anymore.

       “What???” Yuri jolted in surprise, but at the next second she had already managed herself again.

       “Are you… two… had a row?” she asked carefully and when she just caught her sobbed again, she had already known the answer.

       “Okay, okay… Don’t be panic. I’m gonna go to your house now and help you looking for her. Don’t worry, I promise you we’re going to find her.”

       After ending the conversation, Yuri faced Jessica, who had already created an anxiety mark as well on her face.

       “What’s up? Taeng didn’t back home?”

      “Yeah. I guess this time their row was really serious,” Yuri said and rose from the bed; walking to the closet and pulled an outfit.

       “I’m gonna help Tiffany to find her,” Yuri explained and she caught Jessica was climbing out from the bed as well.

       Yuri shook her head as she’d already known what’s going on her girlfriend mind.

       “No. You just stay home,” she commanded.

       “Wae?” Jessica made a face. “I wanna go along with you.”

       “It’s not a time for arguing, Baby,” she said patiently and changed her clothes quickly, then walked toward her.

       “You need a rest,” she said. “Your body slightly uneasy, remember,” she continued and cupped her cheeks. Jessica turned her lips down and stared at her, but didn’t persist anymore.

       “Don’t make that face. You know I couldn’t bear it,” she shook her head. “But this time I wouldn’t grant it as well.”

       She dropped a kiss on her forehead afterward. “I’ll let you know as soon as possible and I’ll be back soon, okay?” she murmured.

       A smile finally was hung on Jessica’s face as she knew how much her girlfriend loved her. She nodded tamely and kissed her back afterward.

       “Good girlfriend,” Yuri smirked. “I love you.”

       “I love you too, Seobang.”

       “Hey, Tiff, are you okay?” Yuri asked Tiffany once they met. Tiffany had already waited for her nervously at the gateway and directly jumped into her car afterward.

       “How could I be okay when I even had no idea where she now is,” Tiffany raised her voice unconsciously; but Yuri didn’t take it as a matter as she knew she was on her panic mode now.

       “What about the club?” Yuri just went on with her thought.

       “Club?” Tiffany raised her eyebrows. Yuri nodded.

       “Yeah. I thought that girl most probably went to the club and had some drink. Don’t you think so?”

       Tiffany frowned for a moment before finally she assented with her thought.

       “It very makes sense,” she said. “I think I know where she’s now,” she added. “There’s one club she used to go.”

       Once after they went inside the club, they had already spotted the scene. It was unmistakable, anyway. The petite girl was seemed already drunk and even couldn’t realize what was going happen to her.

       “She’s so reckless,” Yuri shook her head in disbelief and hastily got approach toward her; Tiffany was trailed behind.

       Taeyeon was surrounded by some man with bad intention pictured on their faces. One of them was already revealed touched her thigh, but before he had any chance to go further, Yuri had already grabbed his collar and barked.

       “Get rid your hand of from her!” she warned with her smoldering eyes; making the man laughed in disbelief.

       “Another pretty girl was coming,” he said and was about to touch her chin; but Yuri was too fast to anticipate it and rewarded a sudden blow to him; making all of them abruptly hushed their mouth stunningly.

      “Watch your step!” she barked again vehemently. “You have no idea about me and believe me you don’t want to make any mess with me!”

       The man exchanged a confusing glance before finally they just decided to believe her remark as they didn’t have any idea at all whether she just bluffed or told the truth.

       Yuri used the chance to reach her friend and Tiffany helped her to carry Taeyeon. Both of them were standing side by side, with Taeyeon in between, her hands were flung around their necks, leaving the place.

       After helping Tiffany put Taeyeon on the bed, Yuri left her house in order to give them some privacy to solve their problem.

       Taeyeon just kept mumbling and laughing all the way, and the face was dreadfully red now. Tiffany squeezed some watery towel and rubbed her face gently; exhaled a deep breath while staring at the one who have had a skinful now.

       Abruptly Taeyeon just sat up and grabbed Tiffany’s sleeves and before Tiffany saw it coming, she had already thrown up into her chest. Tiffany jumped back instinctively; getting startled and Taeyeon just lying back again. Tiffany peered down, looking at her shirt that now was drenched with the puke, and shook her head patiently.

       Without even any anger either disgust expression, she ed her own clothes and threw it to the nearly basket, then cleaned up the puke Taeyeon had earned.

       She mused for a moment while mopping it. It was just very first time she did it during 23 years she lived. Receiving the puke without even getting upset or complaining it. Cleaning up and mopping the remaining puke on the floor patiently. And after all, still… staring at the girl who had already hurt her heart sadly.

       At that time she already knew, she had terribly in love with her.

       She jumped onto the bed again, rubbing carefully and with all of the pain she bear she murmured.

       “Why this happened again to us, Tae?” she shook her head sadly; her hand now caressing her cheeks.

       “Why you couldn’t see what I see?” she questioned again desperately.

       “After all this time… how couldn’t you think that I would never be with someone else unless you?”

       Still her face gently, suddenly she caught her lips moved, mumbled something again.

       “Mianhae… mianhae, Fanny~aaa,” the girl mumbled, her eyes was remained shut.

       “I lost control… Mianhae…”

       “I was so damn afraid of losing you… I can’t bear it…”

       Tiffany kept listening thoroughly, trying to capture the words as she didn’t spill them clearly.

       “I was shock when your father asked me to help pairing you with Choi…,” she mumbled again; this time her remarks somehow was heard clearly on her ears; making her taken aback.

       Slowly, she thought she could make sense of everything.

(Is it the reason why she suddenly acted like this?

Because this morning my father asked her that favor?

Oh my God… Tae… why didn’t you just tell me the truth?

You didn’t want me to argue with my father, did you?

You hide it from me to not place me on the dilemmatic position, did you?

Omo… Tae… Mianhae…)

       After getting the knowledge, Tiffany couldn’t stand her tears anymore. It flew heavily even some was poured down to Taeyeon’s neck.

       “I’m indeed ing bastard…,” suddenly Taeyeon laughed hard after saying it.

       “I always makes you hurt! I always hope could be reason behind your smile… but you could see… I just became the reason behind your pain! I’m … like you said!” She laughed again.

       “You deserve someone bett…” her voice gradually faded away as Tiffany already hushed and locked her lips with hers. She kissed her for some moment, tenderly and passionately. Her hands cupped her face smoothly.

        After finally Taeyeon didn’t speak again, Tiffany pulled away.

       “I deserve nobody but you, Tae,” she whispered near her ears. “I also couldn’t bear if I lose you, you know?” she whispered again to her, though the latter had already slept; but somehow she believed that despite her unconsciousness Taeyeon was able to absorb everything she said.

       “And despite all the moment we had, either it sorrow or happiness, I would always joyfully to pass through them, Tae… You know why?” she talked again. “Because I experienced it along with you…”

       “Even if you had no place to stay in this world anymore, I’d surely carry you on my back… Even if all the worlds declare a war against you, I’d surely be the one who is gonna staying on your side… Even if you drag me to the deepest black pit in this universe, I’d just follow you and never complain at all… And…,” she paused momentarily before releasing the last sentence.

       “If you’re lost you, can look and you’ll find me… time after time…”

    “I love you and good night, my universe,” with that she kissed her again and embraced her protectively all the night.

Hell... I'm getting shivered as well when I typed this scene... Do you feel the same?

Somehow, in some way, I really could feel that they're real....

Oh yeah, how is about Yulsic? Good enough?
