Tiffany's POV

"Hehe, that was fun, oppa!" I said I got into the dorm.

"Taetae~!"

No answer.

"Taetae?"

Still no reply.

Could something bad have happened?

I ran to her room.

Empty?

The bed was nicely made.

I opened the closet.

No clothes...

What the hell happened?

"She's gone. Don't bother looking for her." I heard.

"Yuri? What happened?"

"She moved out."

"What? Why?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "She said she left you a letter."

"No... why... Taetae..." 

I searched the whole room for the letter.

It's nowhere to be found!

I called Yuri, "It's nowhere to be found!"

"She told me to tell you to expect the unexpected."

"What? Oh right!"

I hung up and walked to her room.

I lifted her bedsheet up.

There!

A pink letter.

I opened it hastily.

         Dear Tiffany,

                                 Hey~! As you can see, I'm gone. Reason being: I'm bored of this school. Nah. I love this school! Just wanted to try something new. Got a place in an arts school so I thought might as well try right? Heh XD Anyway, give me an invitation when you and Taecyeon get married okay? I still find it so amusing how his and my name are different only by one letter. I just hope I could find someone... a guy to love. It ain't easy to get over someone and let them go you know? Oh well, I did it... I hope. Hope it goes well for you and Taec. Is that wedding bells I hear far away? You always wondered why I always cried right? I told you I miss my family. But eh, it's just an excuse. I actually always cried because I was always heartbroken. Having to see the person you love and someone else making out all the time... not that fun. But I lived through it anyway. So actually, to conclude. The reason why I left was cause I wanted to try something new and I was hoping to get away from the love mess I'm in.

 

Signed,

Your Best Friend XD

What...

Why...

Who..

She left...

I don't get it.

Who made her heartbroken?

Why didn't she confess in the first place?

What the hell did she mean?

Maybe Sica and Yul would know something.

I called them over.

Sica wasn't really helpful.

All she did was sleep.

But Yuri...

"Yul! What do you think of this? Who is the one who made her heartbroken? Can you find any clues?"

She looked through the letter.

"The person is someone she sees everyday. Does Taec go over to your dorm everyday?"

"Well... yeah."

"So it's either you or Taec. Taeng doesn't see us making out everyday. We only do that in our dorm."

"But... she didn't seem close to Taec... then again it couldn't be us. She even said she heard wedding bells far away."

"Haven't you heard of sacarsm? Or maybe lying?"

"But why would she...?"

"Think about it Fany. How does she treat you? Does she treat you like a best friend... or more?"

"I don't know..."

"Okay then... what does she do with you?"

"She always helps me whenever I have probelms... She protected me from bullies and those erted boys..."

"Okay... anything else?"

"She... she's very close to me. She kisses my forehead before I sleep everynight. She wakes me up in the morning and cooks breakfast for me. She often takes me out to destress."

"Wait what... what's the second thing you said?"

"She kisses my forehead before I sleep everynight."

"I think it's you, Fany ah. Taeyeon wouldn't do that. The Taeyeon I knew never bothers to cook for others and seldom goes out to destress."

"It can't be... It just can't... how could she love me?"

"Yes. It all makes sense now. Those gazes she gave you. Look. She loved you, but couldn't confess because you are a devout christian."

"But... no. It's impossible. It's just impossible. She couldn't possibly love me."

"Well, believe in what you want. I'm just gonna go back to our dorm. Sica yah, wake up."

Sica stretched and then followed Yul back to their dorm.

I walked back to the dorm and just slept.

Taeyeon's POV

I arrived in my new school.

Did I mention that the exterior looks really old but the interior is totally awesome?

I love this school already!

I went to my assigned dorm.

I knocked on the door.

A golden haired girl with ponytails greeted me, "Annyeong! Are you the new kid? WOW, you're cute. Hey, I'm Sunny. What's your name?"

"Yeah... I am the new kid... I'm Taeyeon..."

"Well, hello Taeyeon. Come in. I don't want my new roommate to freeze to death outside."

I chuckled.

"Okay."

I went into the room and started unpacking.

When I almost finished unpacking, I saw a group photo of YulSic, Fany and myself.

No... I can't... I have to forget her.

She's gone from my life.

I walked out and found Sunny playing her PSP.

"Wow. Are your fingers fast or what?"

She turned around, "I played this since my childhood. So naturally, my fingers move faster."

"Oh. Are you from a rich family or something?"

"Meh, not really."

"Okay. Anyway, do you have a lighter?"

"Don't set yourself on fireeeeeeeeeee!" she whined.

"Uhh, I'm not going to do that."

"Oh. Sorry, I watched a movie yesterday night and someone set herself on fire."

"O--Kay... So, do you have one?"

"Yup. It's in the drawer next to my bed."

"Okay. Thanks."

I went to her bed and found pictures of Lee Bumsoo everywhere.

I was personally shocked, but I was kind of used to having a idol-crazed roommate.

I went to the drawer and took the lighter, went to take the picture, then went to the balcony (yes, this room totally had a balcony).

I was about to burn it when Sunny suddenly said, "Wow. Is that your girlfriend? She's so pretty!"

"Huh? No... just... my old schoolmates."

"Oh. Why are you burning the picture then? You need some sort of memory right?"

"No, I don't."

"Okay." she shrugged and went out.

Then I burnt the picture.

I don't need these memories.

It's just too much hurt.

And today's television just had to do with Dennis Oh...

She must be watching it on the other side of town too.

I changed the channel.

2AM appearing on Strong Heart.

And WOW, Taecyeon just HAS to be inside too?

"Aren't the brothers just cute?" Sunny asked, as she looked up from her PSP.

"Seulong is cute. Taecyeon..." I sighed.

"Why? You don't like him?" Sunny asked me.

"Not that. Just..." I sighed again.

"Just?"

"I just dislike him."

"Okay... well, I do like Seulong too. He's really cute."

"Yeah... he is."

"Why don't you like Taecyeon?"

"I just don't."

He's the reason why I left.

"By the way, which school were you from previously?"

"SM High."

"OMG. Isn't that the place where Lee Bumsoo graduated from? And the school where Seulong's brother is studying at?"

"Yeah. It is."

"Then why did you change schools? You're so lucky to be able to study there."

"I wouldn't have changed schools if I didn't fall so deeply in love that I got hurt every second that I was there."

"What?"

"Nothing."

I walked back to my room.

And slept, wanting to get away from everything bad in life.

Tiffany's POV

"No... don't leave me..."

With that, I woke up.

Oh right... she's gone.

But me?

She loves me?

Impossible.

Definitely impossible.

We're best friends... that's all.

And I'm straight. She's straight.

So how could she fall in love with me?

Even if she did, why did she keep it to herself?

Was it rejection that stopped her?

Or was it my religion?

I shook my head.

"No. It's impossible, Miyoung ah." I told myself as I walked out of the dorm and towards the classroom.

"What's impossible, babe?" Taecyeon embraced me.

"Nah. It can't be us.." I continued muttering.

"What?" he asked.

I snapped out of my trance.

"Oh... Taeyeon left."

"Really? That's great. Never really liked her anyway."

"What?"

"She always disrupted us."

"But she's my best friend. Or was... now that she's gone..."

"Yup. She WAS your best friend. Now she's not."

"Taecyeon, what are you saying?!"

"What I'm saying is that I'm glad she's gone. It's as if you and her are together instead of us! You look at her as if you love her!"

"Wha-- I look at her as if I love her?"

"Obviously. God I thought you'd be fun to play with. But you aren't. Since you're so deeply in love that you can't see it yourself."

"Wait... so you were playing with me? I was just a game?"

"Well, no. At first I thought of you like that. But meh, I started falling in love with you. Yet you're so in love that you can't see it."

"Taecyeon oppa..."

"I should be able to find her. There aren't many art schools around this area. But I think she wouldn't be so dumb to choose a school nearby. My guess is she's right on the other side of town. There are only about...3 to 4 art schools there."

"In that case could you...?"

"Sure I can."

"Thanks, Taecyeon oppa."

"No problem, Fany."

We went into the computer lab a few weeks later and found 3 schools on the other side of town.

There was Kirin Arts High, Jeonju Arts High and Gyeongkwang Arts High.

Which school would she be in?

I went to meet up with Yul and Sica again.

Yuri and I were wondering when Sica just said, "Kirin."

"What makes you so sure?"

"I've known Taeng since childhood. It was always her dream to go to Kirin Arts High. Plus, I was the only one who knew about her crush on Fany."

"As if, Sica baby. You just heard us talking."

"I knew, Yul. Believe me. I knew. She wouldn't have survived for so long if she was alone."

"Then again... true..." I nodded.

"Exactly."

"So... why go check out Kirin Arts?"

"Yeah. Let's go."

We went to Kirin Arts High School by Sica's car.

When we got in, a few people were squealing about seeing Yuri.

"OMG It's Kwon Yuri!"

Taeyeon's POV

By now, I was settled down in the school already.

I was enjoying the breeze outside in the balcony, but I suddenly heard screaming.

"OMG It's Kwon Yuri!"

Yul? What's she doing here?!

"Taengoo! Did you hear? Kwon Yuri is here!"

"Yeah. I heard."

"Aren't you going down to greet the all-so-popular Kwon Yuri?"

"OH MY GAWD! ISN'T THAT SEULONG'S BROTHER, OK TAECYEON?!"

He's here too?

Wait... he wouldn't just come with Yul... he would only hang with YulSic when... Oh my gawd.

Please tell me she isn't here.

"Aren't you going out to meet them?"

"No. Definitely not. If any of them came to our dorm, tell them that you're living alone in this dorm."

"Okay..."

Yuri's POV

I went to one of the students.

"Excuse me, do you know a Kim Taeyeon around here?"

"Kim Taeyeon? Oh. The new kid?"

"Yup."

"Yeah. She's staying on the second floor."

"What unit?"

"6 or 7... either one."

"Thank you." I bowed.

I turned to Fany, Sica and Taec.

"2nd Floor. Either 6 or 7."

We took the stairs to the 2nd floor.

We walked to unit 6 and rung the doorbell, only to be greeted by a black-haired girl.

"Annyeong, I was wondering... do you know Kim Taeyeon?"

"Yup! She's my classmate."

"Do you know where she stays?"

"Nope. We're not that close."

"Oh okay..." Fany said dejectedly.

We then went to unit 7.

"Annyeong, I'm Kwon Yuri. Do you know a Kim Taeyeon?"

"Yeah... she's in the class next to mine."

"Are you close to her?"

"I guess?"

"Do you know where she stays?"

"What? Nah. She never tells anyone."

"Can we check your dorm?"

"W-what? W-why?"

"Why not?" Taecyeon came in.

"Oh. So you're Taecyeon. Wow. You really do look like Seulong." the gold nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Sunny."

"Okay. So, can we check your dorm?"

"Uhh... I don't.... really..."

"Please?" I pouted.

"Uhh... s-sorry... I don't think you can..."

"Why?"

"My belongings! I don't like people touching my belongings. Yeah..." Sunny said.

Taeyeon's POV

Sunny Lee, why can't you make a better excuse?

Ugh, I'll have to face them sooner or later anyway.

I walked to the door.

"What are you here for?" I asked in my coldest voice.

"Taeyeon..." Sica looked at me.

"What are you guys here for? If it's nothing, just leave." I was about to turn around and walk back but I was stopped.

Sunny looked at me, "I don't think it's nothing, Taeyeon. At least talk to them."

I nodded reluctantly, "Fine."

So Sunny invited them into the dorm and we went to my bedroom.

Taecyeon looked at his watch.

"I need to go. Bye." he walked out of the dorm.

"So? What do you want to say?"

"Taeng." Yul looked at me.

"What?"

"Who was the one that broke your heart?"

I looked at Sica.

"Haven't you told them?" I asked Sica.

"Not exactly. But they guessed." she replied, shrugging.

"Then why are you asking?" I asked Yuri.

"Confirmation?"

"Yeah. I love Tiffany. So what?"

Tiffany looked at me, "Taeyeon..."

"Ugh. This is enough okay? Just go." I said.

"We're not finished, Kim Taeyeon." Yuri said.

I knew she was serious. She only called my full name when she was.

"What the hell is there to talk about?" I asked.

"Taetae, I..." she stopped for a while, "I... uhh...love you too..."

I scoffed, "Yeah. That explains Taecyeon. Just go. I left SM High for a reason. I don't want to get hurt anymore."

I walked out of the room but Fany held me back.

"I'm serious. I just never saw it... if not for Taecyeon oppa, I never would have." she told me with pleading eyes, "Please... just... be with me."

I looked at her and gulped.

I never expected this. For her to ask me to be with her.

"You heard her, Taeng." Sica said.

"I won't hurt you, Taetae. I really really love you."

And so we dated.

Until we were adults.

Then... we got married.

So maybe... just maybe, my life isn't a tragic story afterall.

Ending fail, I know.

But I tried my best.

At least they were together in the end XD
