  Previously:  Taec came back and works as a taxi driver. On his first day of work, destiny seemed to be against him. His first costumers are Donghae and his own son, Jinhae. When they picked up Yoona, Taecyeon felt his heart in deep pain, but what will happen next??  [srry for this lame "Intro"]   Listening to Shinee - Replay Piano vers. - Fanmade haha~ so cool~ and Davichi Songs ;D btw listening to songs while reading is a way to feel the ups and downs the characters are going through , maybe ^^ anyways, Enjoy! ^-^ *excited*      She stole his breath, Taecyeon didn't even had enough life in him to fight against his desire. His brain stoppped working.  Even though he looked through black glasses, he could recognize the way Yoona walked, the way she smiled happily. Unfortunately,Yoona waved at JinHae and Donghae, not at him.  Was it a selfish desire?   He tried not to blink, afraid of maybe missing her eyes if she would look at him for a couple of moments. But no, not even a glance. Understandable though, she didn't even knew that the homely taxi driver would be someone, she thought to never see again.   What could Taecyeon do?  Nothing.  Just nothing. Now, he was caught between destroying her life once again or keep it all inside until the day comes when he decided to shoot his brain away, while watching the sunset.   So, before she got into the car, he looked at the steering wheel again and turned round his taxi-ID.   He felt her steps were coming closer and his breath getting heavier, like a man with 200 pounds. Donghae leaned to the right door, and opened it from the inside.   "Thank you~", Yoona said after spotting Donghae opening the door for her, whereas he smiled back. Her voice was like a sunflower blooming in his ears. After so many years, he heard her voice again and every winter could be as warm as in spring for him. Now, Taecyeon was like in a cage. He was a lion that longed for the great field but was caught by some hunters.   "Hello~ Jinhae", the driver watched everything in secret through the rearview mirror, when Yoona greeted his boyfriend and her child.   Donghae gave her a kiss on her cheeks and smiled like there was no bad thing in his life, "okay, let's go..", he turned his head to the taxi driver, ".. to Lotte World please..".    The taxi driver coughed nervously,"..Neh", he was indeed jealous of Donghae.  He wished to be the one who will play around with this kid and eating ice cream with Yoona.  However, his destiny choose the painful way. It was a decision, he made 4 years ago. Now, he had to bear it.   During the whole ride, He and Her seemed to be very happy. But Taecyeon also noticed how absent Jinhae sometimes was. Everytime, Donghae told something and asking for confirmation, Jinhae just gazed out of the car window and nodded abstracted.   When the cab reached the parking area for cars in front of Lotte world, Yoona opened the door, while Jinhae followed her.    "Thank you and please wait here for us", Donghae said and slowly stepped out of the taxi.   "s-Sure", Taecyeon rushed himself to write down his number on a yellow notepad and gave it to him, "Just call me."   "Okay, will call you then", Yoona and Donghae held Jinhae's hands while they left someone heartbroken behind, without even knowing.    Some minutes went by and the anxious taxi driver tried to breath normally, his head leaned against the steering wheel. He laready took off the sunglasses.   Perhaps a late coffee wouldn't hurt me - he opened the car door and was suprised of the cool temperature outside. With a click on his key and the car automatically closed.   He searched for some coffeeshops near the big amusement park and spotted a little but nice-looking Café.    --------------   The smell of coffee always reminded Her of Him.  The day they met, how she was interested in him from the first sight; it was not love...  "..not yet..", she added to her thought. But still, there it was. Just one more thing in this world that constantly reminded her of him. One day, just one friggin' day, she'd get a cup of coffee without thinking of him in sadness.   One day ... I will tell him... - she bit her lip. she got scared. There was still 0.0000...1 % that he will never come back again, that's what Fany said.   Shelling out some bills for her late cup of coffee, and grabbing a magazine about "The 7 Things to be an independent woman"; she lay her money on the counter and turned without looking towards the door. She was going to be late for her first evening class and if she was late, .. "no that's not gonna happen.I was never late since..", she broke her thoughts and focused on walking.    The young woman sighed, shifting her messenger bag and hipping open the door of the coffee shop, stepping out into the crisp evening air. The wind lifted her black wavy hair, falling into her eyes just enough that she later blamed them for the reason she ran into Him.   "Oh crap..Sorry.." she muttered, as coffee spreaded all over his black polo-shirt with "Mr. Taxi" on it.   "Oh jeez~ are you o-", he stopped immediately as well as she did, "I'm s--"   Their eyes met and both stopped short though her mind kicked into high-gear.   Speak, dammit. Pretend you're an actual human, "..Taec!", she yelled with a half-forced smile on her face that he thought might actually indicate genuine happiness to see him. Taecyeon stared at her with surprised expressions,"uhmm..."   "oh. your shirt..", pointing at his chest, "Uhhm..let me get some napkins", she opened the door for him but only to crash into him again and sent her magazine sailing to the ground.   "Aigoo~" she swore, dropping her thing onto the sidewalk and throwing her now half-empty cup of coffee into the trash can next to the coffee shop entrance.  Taecyeon and the familiar young lady bent down at the same time to pick up her things.  A moment later both stood straight again, her magazine luckily not completely damaged, her hair carefully moving with the wind and slightly out of breath.  She was just.. Krystal.       "Do you have a minute?" he asked, nodded to the door and opened it for her, while he ignored the big wet circle in the middle of his shirt.   He followed Krystal into the coffee shop, who automaically entered the shop again and waved at someone behind the counter before finding an empty table. Krystal let her magazine slightly fall into her bag, when she sat down before staring at him without a single clue of what to do or say next.   She opened with, "It's funny running into you like this."   "Neh, it's been..awhile," he nodded. "Couple years, I guess. How've you been?", tearing his hair.   "It's weird, you know, I'm actually really busy". she told him, "but somehow I'm feeling to stay here...", her lips stopped moving, it shouldn't come out like that. She almost told him but it remained as an 'almost".   "Sorry about that", she pointed to his shirt to distract him from what she said before.   "It's dark-brown on black.. shouldn't be that bad", an amused grin played on her lips, after hearing his well-meant words. Taecyeon mustered his shirt and scratched his forhead before looking up and giving her a natural smile.   "You work at a Taxi Company?", asking him curiously, pointing to the logo on his shirt.   He laughed half-sarcastically at himself, "Neh.. nothing better to do... so, I thought driving people from A to B shouldn't be too difficult for the beginning..", making her thoughtful about the last 4 years.   "So, do you still work as a waitress or is something else getting your attention now?", He leaned his chin onto his fist and peaked to the person at the counter from before, letting her look at his smile.   ".. someone..", she mumbled, overthought what she said once again and avoided his eyes,continuing to speak faster and let him forget what came out of , "uhm~ I'm a hardworking student now..I have no time to work as a waitress anymore", Taecyeon slightly widened his eyes. Indeed she had changed somehow. She heavily matured in her Looks and additionally, she's a busy, young lady.     "Taec.. you do come to ..Ho Dong's funeral right?"   "Neh...", after breathing two times,"Do you know what he wanted to tell me?", he asked the same question again to get something out of her and leaned closer to make her nervous.   "uhm.. Unfortunately not..", trying to get away from this topic that she actually started, "Uhm.. So, what did you do in America?", leaning back on her chair to escape Taecyeon's seductive face. "I've waited ..", adding it nervously.   What?! she waited?? .. for what?? - his attempt to ignore what she murmured in silence failed.    "ehmm... I studied and helped my uncle..", he leaned back on his chair as well and tried to avoid her eyes.   "What have you studied?", her eyes was getting interested instead and searched for the eye-contact.   "..just Literature..", watching the coffee-making-process again, "What about you? What are you studying?"   Krystal followed his eyes and also looked at the person who made coffee, "Literature hm... I'm studying Design and currently learning how to draw as a professional artist, Fany's my teacher.."   "Chinja? Design is .. cool", when he noticed that Krystal also looked at the same direction, he promptly turned to her and gave her a half-smile.   "You said you're busy right? So, how about buying you another cup of coffee, since I can't let you leave with no coffee in your hands.", he immediately stood up and went over to the counter, ordering two cups of "Coffee-to-Go".   Krystal stared at this tall guy from behind, who leaned on the counter.  He was the one for her, she was sure of it. But one thing extremely  bothered her.   Does he has a Girlfriend already? A man with that handsome face and that height should usually have tons of girlfriends at the same time... - she was lost in thoughts, when she didn't even realized that Taecyeon came back and already sat across from her.   "..just a few minutes", he had a giggle over Krystal staring into the air and jokingly tapped her forhead, "...Kr

Chapter 28: Love the ending... At first, I thought I shouldn't read it bit I just read a little for my FINAL decision. Before I knew it, I had read the whole story. Great story, by the way.... Taecyeon was in so much pain in most of the story that I almost thought TaecYoon wouldn't be in there and Yoona would end up with Donghae. After reading it all, I was so happy that hey ended up together. I read this for of course my TaecYoon couple and it's a good thing I did because it was wonderful. :)
