Taeyeon's POV

The maknae ran into my arms as soon as I opened the door, causing me to stumble a couple steps back, "S-Seohyun?" I stuttered.

Seohyun cried, "Taeyeon-unnie!" she sobbed.

I hugged her back, not sure why she was crying. I shut the door with my foot as I walked, still hugging the younger girl, "Yah, tell unnie what's wrong," I said softly to her, wiping the tears away.

"I'll never have a chance with Yoona," she pouted before the tears fell again,

I widened my eyes, "Yoona?"

Seohyun buried her face into my neck, "She told me she doesn't date girls,"

Still confused, I brought my hand up and rubbed Seohyun's back. The door opened and in walked Tiffany, looking tired. Tiffany's eyes widened seeing Seohyun hugging me, she connected eyes with me. I looked away, looking down as I continued to pat Seohyun's back.

"Unnie, I'm in your position now, aren't I?" Seohyun mumbled and I widened my eyes in panic.

"Yoona and I are just like you and Tiffany unnie, a one sided love," Seohyun continued to talk as Tiffany's eyes continued to bore into me.

I pulled away from the hug and clapsed my hand over Seohyun's mouth and put my lips next to her ear, "Tiffany's here," I whispered, making Seohyun widened her already large eyes, "Did she hear?" she mumbled softly.

Taking a glance at Tiffany, I saw her looking at me with a confused face, I shook my head, "I don't think she did," I whispered.

Seohyun grabbed both of my hands, "Unnie, what do I do?"

I smiled at the maknae before leaning up and kissing her forehead, "Aigoo, poor maknae, already in love,"

Seohyun widened her eyes, "Unnie! It's not.. not love," she muttered.

Winking at her, I smirked, "Sure it isn't, you should go back to your dorm before it gets late, some weird things can happen at night,"

Seohyun looked at Taeyeon, "Like Yuri unnie and Jessica unnie screaming?"

I burst out laughing and ruffled Seohyun's hair, gently pushing the girl away, "Right, so go quickly, I'll talk to you tomorrow," Seohyun walked out my dorm and bowed to Tiffany before leaving. Tiffany looked at me and I my heel, going to the kitchen.

Grabbing myself a glass of water, I gulped the liquid down, mentally praying that Tiffany didn't hear what Seohyun had said. Tiffany sat in one of the dining chairs and looked at me, observing me. Being stupid and careless, I turned my head and locked eyes with her.

Both of us were not going to look away any time soon so Tiffany spoke, "What did Seohyun mean by that?"

Dammit.

"By what?" I asked, playing dumb as I sipped on some more water.

"Don't be ignorant, Taeyeon, you know what I mean," Tiffany frowned.

I shook my head and shrugged, "I'm not being ignorant. I don't know what you're talking about," I responded, placing the empty glass in the sink and proceeded to walk out of the kitchen. Tiffany followed behind me, "Kim Taeyeon," she called out sternly.

I turned, "Stephanie Miyoung Hwang," I replied.

The younger girl frowned, making my stomach churn. Tiffany shouldn't frown like that, it doesn't suit her.

"What did Seohyun mean by one sided love?"

I turned my back on her and walked to my desk, sitting down, "Say, how are you and Nickhun?" I asked, changing the topic.

Tiffany leaned on the desk, crossing her arms, "Stop changing the subject," she ordered.

I rolled my eyes and looked at her, "I'm not changing the subject, I'm being curteous by including your boyfriend in the conversation,"

"He's not my boyfriend anymore," Tiffany commented, making me do mental fist pumps.

I turned to her, "Oh? Tell me what happened," I said, pretending not to know.

"Taeyeon, stop it, you know what happened between us,"

Shaking my head, I placed my chin on my palm that was on the desk, "Nope, I don't, tell me,"

"You punched him and broke his nose, Taeyeon, he could sue you,"

I scoffed, "Let him sue me then,"

"Yah! We're getting off topic!" Tiffany exclaimed, making me jump.

"What's the topic?" I asked her.

Tiffany threw her hands up in the air out of frustration and walked away, "I give up,"

I let out a deep breath, I surely just saved myself.

Yoona and Sunny stuck around our table even though theirs were already finished, perhaps they actually liked our company.

"Gosh! You annoying piece of crap!" Sunny yelled, shoving Sooyoung off her chair, sending the sandwhich flying out of her hand and landing on the ground besides her.

Sooyoung widened her eyes and grabbed the sandwhich immediately, glaring at Sunny, "You just wasted a perfectly good sandwhich!" she yelled.

Okay, maybe I was wrong about them enjoying our company, but it seems like Yoona enjoyed our company, or more like Seohyun's company.

I saw Seohyun smile at something Yoona said.

My heart constricted. I didn't want our poor maknae to go through what I've been going through, I don't think she can handle that type of pain.

I can barely handle this type of pain.

Seohyun glanced over to me and connected eyes with me. Her eyes turned sad when she saw mine before Yoona caught her attention again.

Sighing, I told Yuri I was going out for some air and she nodded.

Putting my hands in the jean of my pocket, I walked around the campus, seeing the fog come from my breath. It was mid winter now, about four months since Tiffany moved in with me.

Four months since my love for TIffany has bloomed.

I tugged the coat around me tighter as I continued to walk.

"Mind if I join you?" The recognizable voice asked me as my heart began to beat faster. I turned my head and saw Tiffany standing next to me while we walked in sync.

I didn't reply as I continued to walk.

We walked in silence until Tiffany spoke again.

"Nickhun asked me for another chance," she said in a low tone.

I looked at her in surprise, waiting for her to continue. Tiffany looked at me and our eyes connected. Seeing as Tiffany wasn't going to keep talking, I spoke, "What did you say?" I said, keeping my voice steady.

"I denied him," 

Those three words made my heart leap in joy but I managed to keep my cool manner, "Oh," I said in response.

As we walked, a small content smile was placed on Tiffany's face and it made me smile as well. I felt Tiffany's cold hand wrap around mine and I looked up at her. Tiffany looked down at me and smiled widely before squeezing my hand.

And here I am, back at the friend zone.
