The following days filled with Tiffany being restless and dying caused of curiosity. Sunday had passed and it meant she had to write another letter soon. Since she could meet Taeyeon more often and more freely now, she actually didn’t have to write the letter any longer but Taeyeon would grow suspicion if the letter suddenly stopped and Tiffany didn’t want that to happen. Tiffany too knew she wouldn’t have much time left since in approximately 2 weeks, she would have to enter her campus, doing registration and such.

“Sigh! Who is that Sunny girl?! And I even skipped my lunch time with Sooyoung today just because I can’t seem to stop thinking about that girl!” Tiffany groaned in her bed. She hadn’t got out from her room since Taeyeon had come home this morning.

“I really wonder if she is important for Taeyeon or not. Sigh.. Talking to myself isn’t helping enough. Maybe I should just pour my protest and revolt through the letters. Well, even I know Taetae will never read it anyway, at least I have asked her about Sunny, right?” Tiffany got rid of the blanket and walked drowsily to the bathroom.

“People say that love is the greatest bliss, love is fun, love is bla bla bla.. But look what I’ve had experienced since I’m in love with that stupid midget! She doesn’t even know my feelings for her! Why is she that dense?! Should I knock her head with a stainless steel pot or something?!” Tiffany continued complaining while applying the toothpaste on her pink toothbrush. She then brushed her teeth and gargled with water right afterward.

“I’m getting crazier each day because of a certain someone. I have to wake up so early in the morning! Heck, I can even replace the rooster to crow since I’m sure I can wake up much earlier than him.” Tiffany mumbled and went back to her room. She sat on her seat in front of the dressing table.

“I’ve become a loner since my sleeping schedule is a mess. I wake up too early, eat breakfast with my Taetae and right after she has gone, I will have myself sleeping like a pig until lunch time passed. You really are crazy, Tiffany Kim! Yeah, Kim.. Can I even become a Kim someday? Will my sacrifice go to waste? Sigh… Since when I’ve become a pessimist?” Tiffany shook her head, disagreed with her negative thoughts.

“Fany-ah, you are beautiful! Guys are drooling over you; they will even willing to have their eyes squinted just to follow where you are going. They don’t mind to plant and cultivate roses or any kind of flowers in case the florist is out of stock just to make your heart fluttered. They willing to inject themselves with stupid poetry just to own your heart, but here you are; Falling in love with a mere postwoman whom you used to meet not more than twice a month.” Tiffany couldn’t stop talking. She applied light make up to emphasize her beauty.

“Well I just hope all of these sacrifices and stupid things I’ve made worth it.” Tiffany closed the powder lid and out it back on the dressing table. She then took her lipstick and put it on her lips.

Tiffany’s stomach grumbled in havoc. She rubbed her tummy to calm and lower the voice down. She got up and wore casual clothes and her denim jeans. She let her hair fell down on her shoulder beautifully and walked out from the room. She went to her shoes rack and took a black and white sneaker. She first put on her socks, followed by her shoes. She tied the shoestrings tightly and stood up. Tiffany didn’t forget to lock back the front door and the gate before leaving the houses. She intended to just search for something to eat inside the restaurant near from her house. She faintly remembered that there was a Japan restaurant few blocks from her house so she planned to just eat there.

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

The bell rang when Tiffany pushed the restaurant’s door opened. Some of the staffs turned their heads to greet Tiffany using Japan language. They politely bowed at Tiffany and Tiffany bowed back. One of the staff led Tiffany to the table around the corner. He gestured Tiffany to follow him so the girl just did as what she had been told. He guided her to the table of two. Tiffany was about to sit when a familiar voice called her name.

“Fany-ah!!” The girl was sitting in front of Tiffany’s table.

“Taeyeon?” Tiffany canceled her plan to sit on her own table and stood up. She walked to Taeyeon’s table and sat in front of her.

“Hey! What are you doing here alone? Don’t have any friends? Or uhmm… Were you planning to meet up with him here? I can accompany you while waiting for him to come, you know.” Taeyeon generously offered. Tiffany could only smile hearing sincere words coming from her Taetae.

“Yeah.. I fell asleep and just woke up when I heard my tummy grumbling. Are you alone too?” Tiffany asked back. Deep inside her heart, she prayed that Taeyeon would say yes. Probably God heard her complains just now and decided to help her out in making Taeyeon hers. She bit her own tongue to prevent her smile from growing out.

“Oh nope. I’m with Sunny but she’s in toilet now. She ate too much and now her stomach is having difficulties to digest it.” Taeyeon chuckled. She felt her story was quite amusing but she stopped immediately when Tiffany’s expression was serious.

“Hey, Taeng! Did I take too long?” A girl, shorter than Taeyeon by an inch coming and hugged Taeyeon;s shoulder from behind while standing. She then took a glimpse to Tiffany and smiled.

“Who is this, Taeng? You already have a new company even when I just left you not more than 10 minutes? Ckckckck…” The girl flicked Taeyeon’s forehead playfully and occupied the space beside Taeyeon. Tiffany’s frown became more distinct. She fumed and her eyes flared in jealousy.

“What are you talking about, bunny. Fany-ah, this is Sunny, the person who called me before and Sunny, this is Tiffany. She is the person whom I always visit before going to work. You know, to have breakfast together and such.” Taeyeon introduced them to each other casually. She didn’t notice the dark aura coming from Tiffany. Different with Taeyeon, Sunny could notice Tiffany had special feelings for Taeyeon alright. She smirked and planned to tease the girl a little bit further to ascertain that her feeling was right.

“Hello, Tiffany! My name is Sunny but Taeng here prefers call me her bunny. Right, Taeng?” Sunny winked at Taeyeon before reaching out her hand to Tiffany’s direction. Taeyeon winked back at Sunny and yes, Tiffany could clearly see it.

“Hi. My name is Tiffany.” Tiffany nonchalantly replied. She honestly didn’t want to shake her hands with Sunny but she didn’t want to have bad impression in Taeyeon’s eyes so she unwillingly welcomed Sunny’s hand.

“She even notifies Sunny about our daily breakfast to Sunny? Am I really losing the game? Am I too late, Taetae?” Tiffany said inside her mind. She couldn’t bear imagining Taeyeon with anyone else but her, moreover seeing it for real. Tiffany suddenly lost her appetite. She wanted nothing but to curl up on her bed to cry her heart out.

“So what do you want to order, Fany-ah? Today is Sunny’s birthday so let her bear the honor to pay for our meal. You can order anything you want for today. Just make sure your tummy can handle it.” Taeyeon giggled and glanced at Sunny, smiling at her oh so sweetly or at least that’s what Tiffany saw from her eyes.

“Yep! You can order anything and I will pay it. Let’s just say to celebrate our first meeting and my birthday altogether! How does that sound, Taeng?” Sunny nudged Taeyeon’s stomach.

“What a great idea you have there! It’s not every day you can be this smart, bunny. Maybe God just granted your wish to be smarter than you were before. Hehehehe…” Taeyeon mocked Sunny. She forgot the fact that Tiffany was still there. Sunny knew Tiffany was getting more jealous in each second passed yet she still wanted to proceed with her plan.

“Uhm… He just canceled our date for today. He said he couldn’t come because he doesn’t feel good. Maybe I will just take the food home if that’s okay with you of course, Sunny.” Tiffany lied while grabbing her cell phone inside her palm tightly.

“Are you sure? But you can always join us eating here. It’s better than eating alone, Fany-ah. The more the merrier, remember?” Taeyeon reasoned out. She tried to persuade Tiffany who had the sad face now. Taeyeon thought it was caused by the canceled date. If only she knew~~

“Yep! She is right, Tiff. But it’s your choice anyway. Are you sure you want to take it home instead?” Sunny added. She made a note to knock some sense inside Taeyeon’s empty brain later.

“Yes.. I will just order anything in the display table and wait for it on the cashier. Thank you for the treat, Sunny-ah and it’s nice meeting you.” Tiffany said. She stood up and bowed politely. She abruptly left the table with her head hug low. She didn’t even manage to say goodbye to her Taetae like she used to do.

“You really are dense, stupid, idiot, moron, and pabo, aren’t you, Taeng?” Sunny stated firmly once Tiffany had gone from their sight.

“Huh?” Taeyeon asked dumfounded.

“Sigh.. I just hope one day she will ask you about our relationship before she assumes everything.” Sunny let out a deep sigh.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Taeyeon tilted her head and asked again.

“Nevermind. Just eat and finish your food. You still have some works to do after this.” Sunny reminded.

“Aye aye captain!!” Taeyeon faked a salute and started digging her food again. She made a note to entertain Tiffany tomorrow in case she was still gloomy.

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

Dear Midget,

Aaaghh!! I hate you!! How could you be lovey dovey in front of me, Taetae? Don’t you know how hurt I was?! I still am even up until now! Because of you I lost my appetite and haven’t shoved any food in since our breakfast this morning! It means, it has been 8 hours since I last eating and my tummy keeps protesting! I have kept the questions to myself for some days already but I don’t think I can hide it any longer. Who is Sunny? Who is she to you? What is your relationship with her? Is it possible that you and her are…. Sigh. This is not helping. I can’t bring myself to mention the word. I just hope you and her is just nothing but friends even though I know that my hope will be left not granted.

I hate you yet my love for you conquers the hatred.. I love you so damn much, Kim Taeyeon! I don’t even know how I can fall in love with you at the first place. I can mention things why I shouldn’t be in love with you. I can describe your negative traits that should have prevented myself from falling in love with you. Shall I mention it then? Okay… Here we go~

1.      You are short!! I always dreamt having a lover who would be taller than me so I could always lean my head on his warm broad chest and clung to him but how can I do that to you? You are even shorter than me for god sake!

2.      I’ve always wanted a romantic guy who knew what I wanted and needed even before I told him those. I wanted a guy who knew what I was thinking and the one who could shower me with flowers and surprises. A gentleman who would walk silently from behind and covered my eyes and asked, “Guess who??” But you!! You can do nothing but teasing me, insulting me, mocking me, and making me embarrassed. You are not romantic even a bit. Sigh.. What do I do with you?

3.      I’ve always longed for a sensitive guy who would ask me how was my day? What would I eat for dinner? With whom I went with? A tender man who would be there 24/7, who would offer all his time just to hear me blabbering and telling story about nothing and everything. But you!! You are so dense and stupid!! You know nothing about girl’s heart and how a girl wants to be treated! You even thought that a kiss could wake me up from my daydreaming just because of that tale! What are you, Taeyeon? 9 years old?! Okay I’m so hopeless now.

I think 3 things are enough to make me realize how love can make people stupid, helpless, lifeless, and crazy. Look at the numbers and descriptions above and you will know why, Taetae. I’m crazy for loving you and crazier because I keep falling deeper, I keep hoping further even when I know that my love will always be unrequited.

Seeing you for mere 2 hours is enough for me. I don’t need you to be there 24/7 because I know, 2 hours is more than enough already. I don’t need you to be romantic because seeing you happy and cheerful caused of teasing and insulting me is enough for me. Looking at your happy face is capable to make me happy too. I don’t need a tall guy because knowing the fact that you are short means I don’t need to pull my head up just to stare at your beautiful image. I only have to lower down my stare a bit and there you are, beautiful and charming as always.

Wew! This is probably the longest letter ever! Well I don’t care because love is crazy, Taetae. I even imagine myself to be a Kim. Tiffany Kim sounds okay, doesn’t it? #blushing. Will we ever be more than we are now someday, Taetae? Can I ever be more than I am now for you? I realize you will never read this letter and as I’ve said, I’m a crazy person who could do this far just to be able to meet you twice in a week. Fortunately that term has changed now.

God is kind enough to make me able to see you every day and I will cherish each day with all my heart. I love you Taeyeon-ah, so much that I don’t even know what I will do if someday you stop coming into my house. Being us is enough for me and insisting you to be my lover will be selfish. I also don’t know when I will stop writing this stupid diary that will just end up addressed to my place again. If sending myself a letter is the only thing I can do to keep you then I will continue doing that. Until when? I don’t have an answer to that too I’m afraid. Maybe until you retire from being a postwoman or maybe until you send me your wedding invitation which I hope you will never do the later. I love you and I will never get tired in saying it.

Sincerely yours,

Tiffany Kim

Tiffany folded the letters neatly and put it inside the envelope. She had spent her hours crying alone inside her bedroom. The fact that her parents were rarely home and that her brother had married and lived in another country didn’t help at all. Her sister was living in a dorm so practically she was used to be alone. In normal days, she wouldn’t feel so lonely because she knew she would meet Taeyeon every day and would have lunch with Sooyoung like any other day. If the college had started, she would meet her other best friends too like Jessica and Yoona but since it was holiday and her friends mostly went out with their families, it left her had to pass the night alone, thinking of her loved one.

She was still sobbing and sniffing. She would wipe out her runny nose once in a while. Her mind too was still occupied by a certain someone and her unknown relationship with Sunny. She was lost in her own world that she didn’t realize she had written the wrong name. Tiffany wrote her own name as the sender and Taeyeon’s name as the receiver. Tiffany still oblivious with that fact even after she had finished attaching the stamp and writing the address. She put the letter that was ready to be sent tomorrow inside the drawer and went to the bed. She decided to just trying to sleep to forget the painful moment where she met Taeyeon and Sunny this afternoon.

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

Taeyeon was getting ready to work. She had put on her brown uniform and didn’t forget to take her cap. She went downstairs to meet her family and as usual, she would skip breakfast. Her family had known about her habit of having breakfast together with her friend and they didn’t mind a bit. Today was Tiffany’s turn to make the breakfast so she didn’t bother to rummage the fridge and think about the menu. She bit her farewell by kissing her parent’s cheeks, her younger sister’s forehead and waved her older brother goodbye. She wore her helmet, ignited the engine and drove away to her office to grab the letters to be sent.

“Morning, Taeng! Early as usual, eh?” Sunny greeted her best friend.

“Good morning. Mam.” Taeyeon acted professional. Yes, Sunny was her best friend outside of work but when they had back to the company, Sunny was her boss and Taeyeon was Sunny’s employee.

“Hey, chill up! There’s no one here at this hour.” Sunny walked to Taeyeon.

“Ah yes, I forgot. Then what are you doing this early?” Taeyeon asked back. She let go of her bad and started to gather the letters she would deliver for today.

“I fell asleep. I had overtime to finish the preparation for the presentation tomorrow but well I guess I just lost count of time and ended up sleeping on my desk.” Sunny yawned widely, stretching her arms upward.

“You should just go home and take a proper rest, Sunny. You have important meeting tomorrow.” Taeyeon advised. She raised her eyebrows when she couldn’t find any letter addressed for Tiffany.

“I think you are right. Ah yeah, are you looking for this?” Sunny took out a quite large white envelope and showed it to Taeyeon.

“Is that letter for Tiffany? Why is it in your hand then?” Taeyeon asked wonderingly. She then went to Sunny direction, intending to take the letter away, but Sunny avoided it.

“It’s not for her, Taeng. It’s for you but weirdly, the address is not your home address. It says that the sender is Tiffany. Weird right?” Sunny read the sender and receiver name written on the envelope cover.

“Uhmm.. It’s Tiffany’s address but it says for me from her. What does it mean?” Taeyeon already retrieved the letter from Sunny’s grip and reread the sender and receiver name. she tapped her chin using her fingers while her other hand was still holding the letter.

“I don’t know. Maybe she actually never has a lover or a special one. Who knows that she in fact has a feeling for you but she doesn’t know how she can meet you if you don’t have any obligation to deliver the letter so she went as crazy as making fake letter and arrange the random address and send the letter to her own place. That’s the only way to meet you, right?” Sunny randomly said. She just told anything she had in mind, didn’t even have a second to think about her random explanation before blurting it out.

“My theory is crazy right? Hahaha.. I know. Sorry, Taeng. Lacking of sleep has made me this way. I’ll go back to my office and take my things then. I’ll go home directly after that. See you tomorrow!” Sunny yawned again but this time she succeeded to cover with the back of her hand. She headed to her office room and slammed the door closed.

“Wait.. Is Sunny’s theory true? Oh my God!” Taeyeon stared blankly at the letter while pondering whether what Sunny had crazily explained was proven to be valid or not. Taeyeon quickly went to her own cubicle and without any hesitation unfolded the letter and started reading it. Taeyeon gasped in shock reading the letter made by Tiffany.

“This can’t be true.” Taeyeon shook her head frantically.

She read how Tiffany confessed her love for Taeyeon over and over again. She didn’t skip the part where Tiffany used Taetae as her nickname. Taeyeon smiled at that and continued reading. It turned out that this was the nth letters Tiffany had made for Taeyeon unknowingly. Taeyeon chuckled silently when she found some protesting words regarding her. However, Taeyeon couldn’t help but frown when Tiffany insulted her, telling that she was short, unromantic, and insensitive. Taeyeon let out a sigh knowing that Tiffany’s statements were somehow were true. Taeyeon grinned widely reading Tiffany’s sweet words about her and couldn’t help but feeling lucky for having herself being loved by a very sweet and beautiful person as Tiffany. She finished reading it and put the letter aside.

"Tiffany Kim, huh?" Taeyeon enchanted the name Tiffany always used to address herself. A bright smile appeared on Taeyeon's face.
