Taeyeon's POV

 

"Ring!" The school bell went off as it signalled the start of the shikshin's favourite time of the day, recess.

 

Everybody didn't even bother to pack their things, just stood up and rushed out of the classroom in a flash, all except for me. I remained in my seat and all I did was stare at the table. I have been doing this for the whole day actually, not paying attention in class while the teacher was teaching. I just couldn't, not when something or should I say someone, was occupying my mind the entire time.

 

"Should I tell her?" I asked myself again for god knows how many times already.

 

"But she would never believe me...we'll just end up fighting again..." I thought and sighed, that was the last thing I wanted to happen.

 

"But .... She would be even more angry with me if she found out I have kept it from her the whole time.." I thought as I clenched my fists and sent my right one hitting heavily onto the poor table.

 

I dropped my head heavily onto the table as both my forehead and fist stung in pain. I didn't know what to do. I was in a dilemma. I was stuck. I raised my head to check the time and realized 10 minutes have passed since I've heard the school bell.

 

"Wow! Time really flies... I guess I better go down to the canteen before the rest gets worried about my absence.." I thought.

 

I stood up slowly and took my own sweet time stolling to the canteen, with my hands dug deep into my pocket, with my eyes glued to the ground, still thinking about whether I should tell my angel about that jerk.

 

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

 

"Kim Byuntaeng! It's about time you got your down here! Where have you been?" Yuri asked as my face started to heat up.

 

"Yah! Kwon Black Pearl! How many times have I told you not to call me that in public? And the girls are here! Are you crazy?!" I exclaimed as the other five girls giggled together.

 

"Yah! Byuntaeng! I told you not to call me that in public!" Black Pearl snapped back, shooting up from her seat and slammed hardly on the table.

 

"Serves you right for starting it!" I barked and smirked in victory.

 

Yuri glared at me but slowly sat down on her seat again, knowing she couldn't beat me. The others were still giggling, watching us 'fight'.

 

"So.... Where did you go?" Yoona asked as all of them stopped their giggles and turned to face me.

 

"Em.. I was just..em... asking my History teacher some questions...." I lied.

 

"Anyway, where's Fany?" I asked, realizing that my dorm mate was no where in sight.

 

"Oh...Probably at the basketball court I guess.." Jessica replied as I sighed.

 

"Oh...Thanks..." I said softly, sad that she was with that jerk.

 

I still didn't know whether I should tell her, and even if I did, Siwon would be there to defend himself, I would have zero chance of winning. However, there was still a part of me urging to tell Tiffany the truth, I just couldn't stand hiding things from her, especially when this would break her heart into a million pieces.

 

"Aigoo! I better find her first and decide later..." I thought as I walked to the basketball court.

 

To my astonishment, not a soul was in sight, not even that jerk and his team.

 

"Where could she be?" I asked myself as I walked back to the rest.

 

"Taetae?" A familiar sweet voice called as I stopped in my track.

 

"Fany? There you are! What are you doing here? I thought you'll be with Siwon," I said as I walked towards the girl sitting on the bench beside the big tree with a book on her lap, glad she wasn't with that jerk.

 

"Oh, he left early for his match," she said.

 

"Then why didn't you join us at the canteen table?" I asked.

 

"Because I like studying alone in nature, the peace and quiet, the smell of it is just so soothing, it calms me down and I can study better here. Why are you here then? Aren't you supposed to be with the rest?" She asked me back.

 

"Oh, I see...em... I'm actually..here to look for you..." I stuttered as she tilted her head in confusion.

 

"Okay, what's up?" She asked as I bit on my lower lip.

 

"Should I tell her now? Is it too soon?" I thought.

 

Silence filled the air as we continued to stare into each others' eyes, she was waiting for me to continue while I was hesitating whether I should.

 

"Oh for crying out loud,stop hesitating, Kim Taeyeon! Siwon's not here so this is your chance!" I thought as I've finally made up my mind.

 

Before I uttered another word, I took a deep breath of air, preparing myself for the worst as I broke the silence, "I have something to tell you..."

 

"Ok, shoot!" She said as I began to panic.

 

"Here goes nothing..." I thought.

 

"Well....the truth is..." I got cut off when someone interrupted me, "So sorry girls, do you know where's Miss Tiffany Hwang?"

 

I turned to the source of the voice, realizing it was our principal.

 

"Why the hell is she looking for Fany?! Is she in trouble?!" I thought as Tiffany raised her hand and used her index finger to point at herself.

 

"Good morning, sir. I'm.... Tiffany..." She answered, or should I say whisper.

 

I could tell she was starting to be scared too, wandering what this innocent angel has done wrong.

 

"Oh, Miss Tiffany, would you mind if we go to a more quiet place? I have some private things to tell you and I don't think you want others to know it..." he said as Tiffany turned to me.

 

She reached for my hand and held onto it as she said, "Okay, but can I bring Taeyeon along with us?"

 

"Sure, it's up to you if you don't mind her listening to our conversation," he said as she held onto my hand tighter.

 

"No, not at all!" she replied.

 

"Okay then, let's go over to that corner and we I can tell you about something," he said as he proceeded to the corner of the field while Tiffany and I followed slowly behind him.

 

With every step we took, Tiffany held onto my hand even tighter. I could feel her hand vibrating in mine as I put my other hand on top of hers and used my thumb to gently rub the back of her hand, trying to sooth her. I bent towards her ear.

 

"Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright," I comforted her.

 

"But I'm scared, Taetae....Really scared! He looked so serious! I'm afraid I'm in deep trouble!" She said.

 

"Don't worry, I'm here! It's gonna be alright!" I comforted her again.

 

"I hope..." She said as we finally reached where the principal had stopped and stood infront of him.

 

"Sir, am I in trouble?" She asked as the principal smiled.

 

"Ofcourse you're not! You're one of my most well-bahaved students!" He said as Tiffany sighed in relief.

 

However, his smile soon faded as his eyebrows knitted together into a straight line. He was starting to get serious.

 

"But....I have some bad news for you...worse than being in trouble..." he said.

 

"Oh no! Even worse than being in deep trouble?! What's the bad news?!" I asked myself.

 

"What bad news?!" Tiffany asked, or I should say exclaimed.

 

"Well...this is hard to say...it's about....your sister.." he said.

 

"What?! Michelle?! What happened?!" She exclaimed with wide eyes.

 

"Oh no... this ain't gonna be good..." I thought.

 

"The school has received a call from a hospital in the city, your sister had a car accident and she's lying in the hospital with doctors treating her now..." he said as my jaw dropped.

 

"! I was right!" I thought as Tiffany let go of my hand instantly.

 

"Wh...What?! How can this be?! She's working! She should be in the office, sitting infront of her computer now! I don't believe you, you're lying!!!" she exclaimed as tears swam in her eyes.

 

"Fany..." I said as I held onto her hand again, hoping to calm her down.

 

"I'm sorry, I wished I was....But...They have confirmed....It is your sister...." he said as I turned to my angel immediately, afraid she would break into tears any moment.

 

"I cannot let you go now, but you can go to the hospital to visit her after school... I'm...so...sorry..." he said in the sweetest tone I've ever heard from him.

 

"I need to go now, please take care, Tiffany...." he said as I nodded and he left.

 

As soon as he was out of sight, I turned to my lover and pulled her into my embrace, squeezing her tightly in my arms. I knew how much Michelle meant to her, I could never imagine the pain if Hyoyeon ever gotten into a car accident, it would be too painful to bare.

 

She hugged me back, squeezing me tightly too as she silently cried in my arms. Gently and slowly, I pulled away from her as I put my hand below her chin and raised her face which was hanging low so that I could look her in the eye.

 

"She's gonna be okay.....Don't worry.." I whispered into her ear.

 

"I'll accompany you to visit her after school, okay?" I asked as she gave me a weak smile, a smile I wasn't used to.

 

"Thanks Taetae...You're the best..." She said as she gave me a quick squeeze.

 

"Oh my! We better get going before we are late for class!" I said as she nodded.

 

She came closer to me, grabbed my hand as I held onto hers and walked to her classroom together, never letting go of each others' hands.

 

"It is not the right time to tell her about Siwon....I'll just tell her next time... She's not ready for it...not in this state.." I thought.

 

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

 

After school in the taxi

 

I held onto her hand throughout the entire ride as I looked at the depressed girl beside me. Unlike usual, she wasn't sleepy, she kept her eyes on the ground, deep in thought.

 

I held onto her hand tighter, realizing this, she turned to face me as I smiled at her, trying to cheer her up. Suddenly, she tilted her head towards mine and rested it on my shoulder. However, unlike the usua chatty and cheerful Tiffany, she was awfully quiet and depressed. All she did was remain quiet for the entire ride and kept her eyes glued onto the floor, deep in thought. Awkward silence filled the air as I wasn't used to this side of Tiffany.

 

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

 

Tiffany's POV

 

We reached the hospital a few hours later, after checking Michelle's room number with the nurses, we went straight to her room. I stopped right outside her door as I put my hand on the door knob, hesitating whether I should open the door. A part of me didn't want to, I was afraid to see my sister badly injured, however, there was also a part of me which had the urge to open the door, to make sure my sister was alright. Just then, I felt a warm and soft hand on mine, I turned to face the owner of the hand as she smiled sweetly at me.

 

"It's alright, Fany. Your sister will be alright...." she said as I smiled weakly back at her.

 

"Thanks, Taetae~" I whispered before taking a deep breath, turning the door knob and pushing it open.

 

The door opened, revealing a familiar girl, unconscious on the bed, with bandages around her right arm and hand, with a a few plasters on her left hand and one on her forehead. My heart ached at the sight of my sister so badly injured. Little did I realize that there was someone else in the room too.

 

"I'm guessing you're her sister?" a girly voice asked as I turned to the source of it.

 

There, behind the door which was blocked by it a few seconds ago, stood a beautiful and young nurse in her white uniform with a clipboard in her hand.

 

"Yes, I'm Tiffany. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here...I should've knocked first..." I said as she giggled.

 

"And I'm Taeyeon, her friend," Taeyeon said.

 

"It's okay! Hey Tiffany and Taeyeon! I'm Ji Young, I've just became a trainee nurse here and I'm currently attatched to your sister just to do some checking every now and then! It's nice to meet you two!" she said as she beamed a smile at us.

 

I tried my best to smile but could only smile weakly back at her. Her smiled soon faded as she realized the situation here.

 

"I'm so sorry about your sister, Tiff..." she apologized.

 

"It's okay, tell me.... How's Michelle?" I asked.

 

"Well... According to what the other nurses told me, she had a car accident with some wounds and gaudy scars, it wasn't very severe so all her wounds had already been treated by the doctor. However, due to the impact of another car banging into hers, her head hit the back of the seat heavily, resulting in a coma," she explained as Taeyeon and I listened attentively.

 

"What?! When is she gonna wake up?!" I exclaimed.

 

"I don't know, it's all up to her. We can't do anything to wake her up, she must wake up on her own. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe....." she paused and continued, "Never..."

 

My mouth hung open as her words replayed in my mind over and over again. Tears gathered in my eye but I tried my best not to let them fall. Taeyeon held onto my hand as I grabbed onto it immediately. I knew she was trying to comfort me, and I was very thankful for that.

 

"N....N...Never?" I repeated her word that I thought I have heard wrongly.

 

"Well... There were...some cases....I'm really sorry, Tiff....but based on that impact when the car hit your sister's, I suggest you prepare yourself for the worst that can happen.... " She said as my heart ached severely.

 

I did not hear the word wrongly. I heard it perfectly. I just didn't want to admit it.

 

Taeyeon grabbed onto my hand even tighter when Ji Young continued," I must go now, I have other stuff to do before I can come back to check on your sister again...bye, Fany....I'm so sorry..."

 

I couldn't believe what I have heard, I couldn't even utter another word, I just couldn't.

 

"Bye, Ji Young!" Taeyeon helped me answer as she immediately pulled me into her embrace as soon as Ji Young closed the door behind her.

 

"I'm so sorry, Fany...." she said as tears streamed down my face.

 

"Tae...T...TaeTae....I....Michelle...." I was sobbing so much that I couldn't even speak properly.

 

She put her hand on the back of my head and it gently and carefully, sending chills down my spine but at the same time, soothing me a little.

 

"Sh! Don't talk, it's okay....Everything is gonna be fine....Sh~ Quiet down, Fany ah~" she said it in such a sweet voice that I couldn't help but melt under it.

 

We stayed in that position for a few minutes in total silence as she squeezed onto me tightly and continuously my hair while I cried silently in her arms. It didn't take long for me to calm down and could speak normally again.

 

"Taetae...I'm....scared..." I said as she stopped stoking my hair and brought her hand to her side.

 

"Michelle means alot to me.... After Omma has left us, she was always the one looking after me, taking good care of me, like the old times when Omma was still around, Appa was too busy to take care of me and Leo, well, he had too many outings with friends to even come back home.... Michelle and Omma means the whole world to me....I was already devasted by Omma's death, I have already lost someone so dear to me....I can't afford to lose Michelle too....Taetae....I'm scared.... scared that they'll both go to heaven together and leave me here all alone...." I said as more tears fell effortlessly.

 

She gently pulled away from me as she looked me in the eye. She reached for my face as she brushed off a tear that had just escaped my eye with her thumb. I didn't why, but those eyes, those perfect chocolate-brown eyes had this power over me, I couldn't look away from it even for a second.

 

"Fany....It's going to be okay! Michelle will wake up! She will! Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but someday she will....And if we love her, we should think positive! We should wait patiently for her, I don't even care if it take years, I'll be here waiting together with you for her, until she finally wakes up.... I believe in her, and you should too...She's gonna be alright, she's gonna wake up....." She comforted me as my sadness seemed to fade.

 

"Do you really think so?" I asked as she smiled sweetly at me again.

 

"She loves you too much to leave you here alone, Fany ah~.... I don't just think so....I know so..." She said as more tears swam in my eyes, but this time, tears of joy.

 

Without hesitation, I opened my arms and wrapped her in my arms, squeezing her so tightly I thought I could make her choke, fortunately I didn't. She hugged me back, just as tightly as I did.

 

"Thanks so much, Taetae....You've always been there for me when I needed you, caring for me, helping me in every way you could, being such a great dorm mate and friend...You never fail to make me feel safe and protected...What would I ever do without you?" I thought as I squeezed onto the petite girl even tighter.

 

"Thanks so much, Taetae~ You're the best!" I said as she giggled and pulled away from me.

 

"Ofcourse! I am Kim Taeyeon! The best dorm mate on Earth!" She praised herself as I rolled my eyes playfully.

 

"Sure, you are~" I said sarcastically as she frowned.

 

"Yah! Hwang Mi Young! What does that mean, huh?! So I'm not the best dorm mate on Earth now?! Then who is?!" she exclaimed as I giggled at her dorkiness.

 

"Yah! Kim Byuntaeng! How many times have I told you not to call me that?! And I have never ever said you were, in the first place..." I said, teasing the dorky girl.

 

"Yah! Hwang Mi Young! When did you even start calling me that anyway?! And who even taught you to call me that?!" She exclaimed as I smirked.

 

"From the ever-so-helpful Miss Kwon~" I said as she glared at me cutely.

 

"Why that little...." She said.

 

"You do know that she's taller and bigger than you right?" I asked as turned into an 'o' shape and nodded in undersatnding. 

 

"Why that giant Kwon....You better beware, Black Pearl! Cos I'm getting my revenge on you first thing tomorrow in History class!" I thought as I shot Tiffany another glare.

 

"So now, I'm short and I'm not the best dorm mate on Earth?! Just great..." She said as I couldn't help but giggle at her dorkiness.

 

"Yes, pretty much..." I teased as she pouted cutely again and crossed her arms.

 

"Okay, I think I should stop teasing this poor kid..." I thought.

 

"I know you're not the best dorm mate on Earth, there's surely someone better than you...But....." I stopped as she faced me, waiting for me to continue.

 

"You're the best dorm mate I, Tiffany Hwang Mi Young, could ever wish for!" I said as a smile appeared on her face almost instantly.

 

She jumped and punched her fist into the air in victory, as if she has just shot a goal in, at the last second in a soccer match.

 

"Yay! Kim Taeyeon's the best~ Kim Taeyeon's the best~ Who's the best? I'm the best!" She exclaimed at the top of her lungs.

 

"Bam Ratatata Tatatatata~ TAE! Bam Ratatata Tatatatata~ TAE! Bam Ratatata Tatatatata~ Tae! Bam Ratatata Tatatata............... KIM TAEYEON! (Oh my god!)" She sang 2NE1's 'I'm the best' with some changes in the lyrics, inserting her 'awesome' name in it while dancing randomly in the room like a crazy girl, totally forgeting that we were in a hospital.

 

I couldn't help but laugh at her dokry ways.

 

"Dork!" I teased but she ignored and continued singing the song while randomly adding funny and wierd dance moves into the song.

 

"Kim Taeyeon.... You never fail to cheer me up whenever I'm down.... Even at such depressing moments, you can still dance so wildly and sing at the top of your lungs?! Even when I'm so depressed, as if like magic, you can still make me laugh so hard! You are really something, Taetae... Thanks so much, you dork!" I thought as I continued to look at the 'dancing queen', still dancing wildly and singing like there's no tomorrow.

 

 

To be continued.....
