Friends in Need

Into the New World

 

 

I woke up the next morning with a munchkin attached to my arm. I guess the love of cuddling runs in the family too. I quietly laughed as I slowly made my way out of my sister’s bed, desperately hoping to not wake her up. Aha! Success!

As I made my way in to the kitchen I noticed that my mom was already awake. Ah! Perfect. I needed to talk to her before the cameras got up and rolling.

“Umma,” I said quietly as I stepped in our kitchen. She hugged me.

“Good morning Taeyeon-ah. Is your sister or Tippany up yet?”

“Tiffany,” I corrected with a slight laugh.

“Ah right, those ‘f’s always get me.” I grinned.

“Why don’t you just call her by her Korean name, Miyoung.” She looked at me. “Or not, you can call her whatever you want mom.” Jeesh. No need to give me a dirty look like that. I opened the refrigerator.

“Ani, you’re just now telling me she has a Korean name?” She sighed. “What am I going to do with you Taeyeon?” I laughed.

“Fany-ah says the same thing.” I got a glass and poured myself a glass of orange juice. I noticed my manager staring to stir in our living room. Omo! “Umma.” She hummed. “I need to ask you something.”

“What is it?” I took a deep breath. This was it. I knew this would be the only chance I got to talk to her about it today too, without cameras in our faces of course. Omo, should I just wait? No! I’m going to tell her. I need to-. “Taeyeon?”

“Ri-right.” Oh god here it goes. “Mom, what would you say if-if I told you I wanted to ask Tiffany to marry me?” I held my breath waiting for her answer. Her hand covered and her eyes were wide. Oh god. Was that good? Bad?

“Are you serious Taeyeon?” I nodded.

“Completely. I don’t think I’ve been more serious about anything actually,” I added. She still wasn’t responding. “I-I just wanted to know what you thought before I took the next step and asked our boss and then of course her.” She sat down. Oh no, this was totally bad right? I heard her sniff. Holy .

Was she crying? Oh my god. I thought they had really hit it off too. Oh no, this was bad. This was very very bad.

“Umma,” I asked shakily. “Wh-what’s wrong?” She hopped up and wrapped her arms around me.

“My little boy is grown up.” Omo, wait. “Of course I would accept it Taeyeon.” She released from the hug. “I already thought of her as a daughter anyway.” Oh my god.

“Seriously?” She nodded. “You’re seriously serious?”

“Yes Taeyeon,” she laughed. “Your father liked her too. We talked about it last night. She’s a very charming girl.” Wah! I kissed her on the cheek.

“Thank you so much umma! This means so much to me.” Ahh~! Oh my god, I was one step closer to making Tiffany mine for forever.

Now I just needed to get the OK from Lee Sooman. I don’t think he would be legally aloud to say no either! He would however be able to drop us from the label and/or punish our groups for our decision and I really didn’t want that to happen. I was hoping I would be able to make a compromise or something with him. Ohh who knows! I couldn’t think of anything else right now besides Tiffany!

“Ah, I can’t wait to tell your father.” Omo. That brought me back.

“Umma, you can’t tell anyone besides him, okay?” She grinned. “Not even Hayeon.”

“Of course, now go wake everyone up. I’ll get breakfast started.” I nodded with the biggest smile possible on my face. This was amazing.

I started my new task with the crew members and our managers for a couple different reasons. First off I wanted to let Fany sleep as long as she could. She had to leave again for Japan this afternoon. Hyung told me we were going back to the MBC studios to do our backroom commentary/interviews for the filming they did these two days and then she would have to leave immediately. He also told me that because there was so much that we did, this trip would actually be two episodes.

Which was stupid and completely unfair, but I guess we did film a little by ourselves last month when we made the list. Ugh! I was totally getting cheated out of a date with Tiffany, but I guess I shouldn’t be complaining too much.

The second reason I woke them up first was so that they could go ahead and eat. I’m assuming they want to catch me waking Tiffany up anyway. The fan’s obsession with female idols without makeup on was unreal.

I was right too. The PD stopped me as I got up from my chair to go to the bathroom. They told me to wait for a cameraman to come with me, but I reassured them I wasn’t going to wake her up yet.

Whatever! I went ahead and woke Hayeon up though, who then insisted on wearing her new clothes that ‘Fany unnie’ picked out. Uhm hello brat, I helped too! I sighed and left the room so she could change. Stepping in to the living room, I was met with a camera right in my face.

“Wuhuh!” I jumped back. “Ah, you startled me,” I laughed. “Oh, are we ready?” They gave me a thumbs up. “Alright. Viewers at home, prepare to witness the beauty that is a newly awaken Tiffany Hwang,” I said in to the camera with a laugh.

I quickly went to my door and walked in. The sun was already peeking through the blinds, so I didn’t feel too bad when I the overhead light.

I frowned when I saw her position on my bed though. She was off to one side, sort of, with her arm spread out to the other. Omo, was she… reaching for me? I felt pain in my heart all of a sudden. Even if she wasn’t, that’s what my mind had settled on. I went quickly to the side of the bed and kneeled down taking her non-stretched out hand in mine.

“Fany-ah~!” Nothing. I shook her shoulder a little. “Fany-ah~ wake up!” I felt her grip on my hand tighten and then an immediate release when she opened her eyes. She brought the covers right over her head and started groaning. I just laughed. “Tiffany~.”

“Kim Taeyeon, I really hate you sometimes,” she said huskily. Ah, I loved her voice in the mornings, even more so than I normally do. Oh! Or when she’s really sleepy! It gets the same raspy sound that’s just the most adorable thing in the world. I grinned from ear to ear.

“No you don’t. Now get up. Umma made food for us!” She groaned again.

“Can I change first?” I hummed. “Okay…leave.”

“You’re forgetting something.”

“What?” I grinned.

“You know, the thing we do every time we see each other in the morning…” I heard her sigh from under the covers.

“Really?” I hummed.

“I’m not leavening unti-“

“Mwah!” She suddenly had popped up from the bed and pulled my face in for a quick kiss, making sure to cover hers again quickly. “Now get out.”

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I quickly got changed out of my comfortable shorts and one of Taeyeon’s old sweatshirts that I found last night, which I’m totally taking by the way. I traded in for a pair of skinny jeans and a plain gray, scoop neck tee. After applying a quick layer of makeup I left his room.

As soon as I stepped out I could smell the food, omo and it smelled great.

“Annyeonghaseyo Umma,” I bowed as I entered the kitchen. She quickly pulled me in to a hug. Uhm alright. I hugged her back briefly before she released.

“Good morning Miyoung-ah. Did you sleep well?” I froze at the sudden use of my Korean name. I really was going to have to kill Taeyeon one day, first bringing cameras to wake me up and now his mom using my Korean name. Ugh! “I hope it’s alright it I call you that. Taeyeon said I could since Tiffany is sometimes hard for me to get out correctly,” she smiled. Aish…I couldn’t say no to her.

“Uh, ne umma. You can call me whatever you feel comfortable with,” I returned her smile. I guess I could handle a couple of people calling me that. It wasn’t that I necessarily hated it or anything, even though I might say I do. It’s just that it makes me sound so old. I’ve literately never met anyone named Miyoung that wasn’t at least forty. Ugh!

“Good. Taeyeon-ah already has a plate for you at the table.”

“Oh jinjja?” she hummed as I looked around. I saw a camera pointed right at me instead. “Annyeong,” I waved. Looking past that I did see Taeyeon, but he was facing away from me talking to Hayeon. I swiftly went to the table. “Hi~.”

“Fany!” Taeyeon quickly stood and planted a quick kiss on my lips.

“EWww, mom~. Oppa and unnie are kissing,” Hayeon yelled. I felt my face heating up as I froze. I totally didn’t even think about her being there. Kissing Taeyeon was just out of habit any more, not in a bad of course! It was just something that I needed to do, and often. Almost like breathing, which I wasn’t doing much of right now until I heard the next comment.

“Let them be Hayeon! Eat your breakfast.” Taeyeon stuck his tongue out at the younger girl who in turn made a face back. Aish, if he wasn’t slightly taller than her I really would have a hard time telling who was older.

“Have a seat. I made your plate already.” I looked down to see that my pancakes had already been cut up in to little pieces and everything.

“Taeyeon,” I smiled. “You even cut it for me?” He hummed.

“Since you always do it anyway, I thought I’d save you the time.” I grinned even wider.

“Thank you. Did you already eat?” He hummed.

“I did while I was waiting for you.” I nodded as I took a bite.

His mom soon came to join us. This felt really nice too. His whole family around the table eating together. Wah~ I was so glad I could experience this with him. Wait a second. “Where is your dad at?”

“Oh, he had to go run the shop.” Ah that’s right! I totally forgot that Taeyeon’s parents owned an eyeglass shop. “You two could go visit him if you have time later.” Ooh! That could be fun, I thought. I’d get to see more of where Taeyeon grew up too!

“What are we doing today,” Taeyeon asked aloud as I took a bite of eggs.

“Well since we only have an hour and a half before we need to leave there’s not much we can do. Do any of you have any suggestions? Even you Mrs. Kim, is there anything you want to do?” I looked at Taeyeon and then to his mother.

“I could show Miyoung-ah how to prepare one of Taeyeon’s favorite foods.” I gulped and Taeyeon started to laugh. “Why, is that not a good idea?”

“Aniyo, umma,” he started. “It’s just that well…”

“I’m a horrible cook,” I finished. “If it were something easy I could probably do it though,” I added. She pensively hummed.

“Oh! I could teach you to make the cheese kimbap that you like so much.”

“Jinjja?” That was a good idea. “Taetae, do you like it too?” He nodded.

“Of course I do!”

“Then let’s do that!”

“Okay,” the PD said.

“We can get everything ready while you finish eating mom,” Taeyeon suggested as he stood up.

“Wait! I’m not done either!” He laughed.

“Then Hayeon and I will.” Ugh!

“Ani~! Help me finish this, I’m getting too full.” He sat back down and opened his mouth like the obedient boyfriend he was. I grinned and fed him a piece. After a minute or so we had finally finished. Taeyeon took our plates and put them in the dishwasher and I followed closely behind.

We then did as his mother directed from the table. We put rice in the cooker and then got out everything else we needed. Taeyeon began to cook up the omelet as he left me in charge of slicing the carrots and cucumber. I started to worry until his mother finally came to the rescue. She showed me the proper way to slice it and then made me do it by myself. Ugh, I wish she would have just done it, I was at least ten times slower than her.

After a while we had everything ready to start creating the rolls though. I felt bad for not talking much, but I really wanted to get this down. I took a deep breath and looked around. I smiled as I noticed Taeyeon staring at me from the other side of his mother. I playfully stuck out my tongue at him.

“Now, you just lay everything right in this end, okay,” his mother said loudly bringing my attention back to her. I hummed. “And then you roll it all together like…this,” she said as she rolled the bamboo mat together. A few seconds later she unrolled the mat from the kimbap and oh my god.

“Wah~! It looks so good,” I complimented. That was so simple too.

“Now you try.” Wait, what?

“Me?” She hummed.

“I need to go take the laundry out anyway.” She started to walk away.

“But, but…”

“We’ll finish it up umma,” Taeyeon called after her. “Fany it’s not even hard, watch.” I did too. I watched him place everything just as him mom did and then eventually roll it. Omo, his turned out just as nice. “You do it.” I nodded.

“Okay.” I spread out the rice on the seaweed. Good. Next I laid the cheese down and then placed the slices of carrot, cucumber, and omelet on top of that. Now came the part I was worried about. “Like this?” I started to roll the kimbap together.

“Yep! Perfect babe!” I don’t know about that, I was just glad none of it was falling out. I finished doing it and slowly removed the mat. Omo! It looked just as good as theirs!

“Wah! I did it!”

“I told you it wasn’t hard. Hayeon, do we have more of these,” he asked as he held up the bamboo mat.

“I think so oppa let me check…” She went off as I began to make another one. Soon enough Taeyeon and I were left with ten rolls of kimbap. “Oppa can we eat them now?”

“You’re hungry? Didn’t you just eat Hayeonie?” She nodded. “I swear she’s Sooyoung’s sister,” he said quietly to me. I started to laugh.

“Well can we?”

“Jeesh Miss. Impatient. I guess, but,” he paused. “Do you remember the right way to eat these?”

“Duh, oppa,” she said sassily.

“Taeyeon, it’s kimbap of course she- oh my god,” I said in English. That child just picked up the whole roll and took a bite from it. “Taeyeon-ah! Did you teach her that?” He nodded proudly. “Yah! You can’t teach that to children!” I shook my head. He was really too much to handle. “Where are the knives?”

We soon finished cutting up all the rolls. After we let the crew eat some Taeyeon’s mom packed them in a little box for us to take home. Unfortunately it was time to go too.

We put on our jackets and then Taeyeon and I sadly packed our bags into the truck of the car.

“I don’t wanna leave,” I whined. It was nice to be here. Even though we had cameras following our every move, we didn’t have to worry about schedules or rehearsals, or fans.

“Don’t worry,” Taeyeon said as he wrapped his arm around me. “We’ll come back.” I wrapped mine around him and leaned in to him.

His mom and Hayeon were waiting at the door.

“Bye Unnie! You’ll come back soon right?” I smiled as the little girl wrapped her arms around me.

“Of course. When we get a chance to we’ll come back.” Taeyeon was still hugging his mom when I looked over. I couldn’t hear what they were saying to each other, but I didn’t really try to either. They released and she moved on to me. She gave me a quick hug.

“Take care of my son, I’ll leave him in your hands.” Uhm, what? How was I even supposed to respond to that?

“N-ne, umma. I will,” I said hesitantly. Was that right? The smile on her face sure did say so.

Taeyeon and I walked to the car once more where he opened the door for me. I buckled myself in as Taeyeon took his seat. Once we got the signal that we could leave, Taeyeon began driving. We waved at the two in the door until we couldn’t see them anymore. This was a horrible feeling, and I knew it was getting at Taeyeon even more. I reached over and took the hand that was in his lap.

“Thank you for taking me to visit your family Taeyeon-ah. I had a really great time.” He grinned and kissed my hand.

“They really liked you, you know.”

“Jinjja?” He hummed.

“My aunt said you were a lot cuter in person too.” I laughed.

“Well I’ll have to thank her next time.” I smiled. Next time sounded great.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Ahh~,” I voiced. I had the day free today. Sooyoung and Yuri were both filming, WGM and a CF respectively. I actually think I’ve seen more of Yuri on television recently than I have in real life. Ever since his drama ended a few months back he had been getting offers out of the for CFs and different kinds of ads and since we weren’t doing anything right now but preparing for the SM tour dates in Tokyo at the end of the month, I didn’t see a reason to not take them. We weren’t promoting or preparing for a new album yet so we had all the free time.

I heard my phone ringing. Omo! I ran to the noise. I had been waiting for Tiffany to call me back this morning. I knew she had just got back from Japan last night again after more than a week of being there. We didn’t even get to watch the first episode of our show together. Ugh!

Our show however was a hit! We expected it to do alright since it was going to be a WGM spin-off, and WGM was so popular in the first place, but nowhere near this. There were all kinds of articles out about us on the internet too, this time however they were mostly nice! There were still the few that were complaining about this and that though. Thankfully we had more supporters than antis, for now at least…

I ended up watching it with Sooyoung, Yuri was off at an audition I believe. I think he almost had another lead role in a drama. How cool right?

Anyway, it was amazing for me to watch. Not only because I got to see all of Tiffany’s cute little facial expressions I missed or even her one on one interview in the black room, but because the commentators that always commented on the WGM episodes also watched and commented on ours. It was so funny to see their reaction to any skinship we had, even when we just shared the same straw they went nuts. I guess we were a bit different than the fake couples they usually got to watch though. Kim Nayoung-ssi always had the best reactions for sure, screaming or ‘ooh’ing loudly. It was seriously hilarious. I would have been just as fine with watching them watch us for the hour.

I picked up my phone and read the caller ID. Ugh! It was Hyung.

“Yeboseyo?”

“Taeyeon-ah. You need to be at SM at noon.”

“Uh, okay? Why?” I looked at my watch. It was 11:30. Thanks for the warning, I sarcastically thought. I wasn’t even dressed yet.

“Lee Sooman has time to see you today and since Soo is here filming I’ll be able to go with you.” Oh my god. I totally forgot about this.

I had told hyung what I wanted to do with Tiffany. He was obviously against it, but only because he didn’t want it to hurt our, and especially my, career. He then continued to say if LSM was okay with it he obviously wouldn’t have a problem either. This did oddly make me feel a little bit better though. He was just looking out for me career wise the best he could, which was his job, so I wasn’t mad at all really. Just nervous, very, very nervous. What if he said I couldn’t? That couldn’t be legal, right?

“Taeng?”

“Ah, ne hyung I’ll be there soon.”

“Arasso, a car should be there in 10.”

“Alright! Sounds good. See ya.” I hit end and went quickly to my room. Finding the most presentable outfit I could I heard my phone start to ring again. Ugh, what now? I checked the caller ID. What? It was Soo.

“Yeboseyo?” I set it on speaker phone so I could continue to get dressed.

“Taengo! What are you doing today?”

“I’m heading to SM in a few, why?”

“Jinjja?” I hummed. “Would you be able to help Sunny and I out then?” What?

“What am I going to be able to help you two out with,” I laughed. Give them dating tips? Psht.

“We have to write a song and it’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you when you get here. Please,” he called out cutely. I heard Sunny using her aegyo too. Ugh, I guess I didn’t have anything better to do since Tiffany wasn’t calling me back. Maybe Sunny could get her to meet me there?

“Yah, yah. Get her to stop!” I heard silence. “I will, but I have a meeting first.” He started cheering. I rolled my eyes. “Hey, Soo! Yah!”

“What? Sorry!”

“Tell Sunny to get Tiffany to come too okay? I’ll be there as soon as possible. I gotta go now bye,” I said quickly and hung up. It was already time for me to leave.

I quickly put on my jacket, but I knocked over a notebook in the process. Aish… wait. Maybe I should bring one of my song notebooks? Just in case they can’t write one at all or I can’t think enough to help today.

Yeah, good idea Taeyeon.

I grabbed a backpack from my closet, threw a few notebooks in to it and headed out.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I walked out of the president’s office in a complete daze. I could not believe that just happened.

“Good luck Taeyeon,” hyung said as we stepped out of the elevator. What the hell? We were already in the lobby? “If you ever need anything from me in the future let me know, I’ll be more than happy to help you out.” I nodded.

“Ne, hyung don’t worry. I’ll definitely need you soon.” He laughed.

“Arasso, you and Soo will be fine here right?” I nodded again.

“Yeah, Sunny’s manager is probably here if we need anything anyway.”

“Right! I’m going to catch up with Yul then. See you later.” Crap. I forgot to see where Soo was. I’ll just text him.

What room are you guys in?

 

I took a seat in the nearest chair to wait for his reply. I still couldn’t believe the last ten minutes even happened. Oh my god. I wasn’t dreaming was I? I pinched my arm. “Ow! Yep.” I wasn’t dreaming.

Omo, that means it was real!

Lee Sooman gave me the OK to ask Tiffany to marry me.

It of course came with a set of warnings, but warnings shmarnings! I was allowed! I would have done a backflip if I knew I wouldn’t die trying I was so happy.

Really it only came with a few warnings, but none of them were new. ‘It would have a huge impact on your fans.’ Yep, us dating was supposed to too but that thankfully worked it’s self out…kind of. 

I think we were both still down in numbers in our fan cafés, but both of our most recent albums were in the top ten list of having sold the most last year overall. I think SNSD was placed at numbers 2, 3, and 4 while we were at number 7. So our little ‘scandal’ couldn’t have rocked the boat too hard LSM! Take that!

The other warning however was a bit scarier, it still wasn’t new to me, but it was a little more intimidating. He said that if our relationship gets in the way of our jobs or roles of entertainers he will have no choice but to reprimand us. He also that he didn’t know how yet, but he would figure it out if need be. He then mentioned that it would probably only be fines, but it would also depend on whatever happened.

I guess I didn’t have a problem with it though, because I in no way wanted to give up on my career, and especially not TYS, I just wanted to do everything with Tiffany by my side… permanently. “Ooh!” I felt my phone vibrate.

I read the text and swiftly got in to the elevator. Soon arriving at the floor, I stepped out and found the correct studio. I knocked. After hearing a faint ‘come in’ I opened the door.

“Taengo! You’re here!” I was pulled in to a quick hug by Sooyoung.

“Uh, ne,” I laughed still slightly taken back. “I told you I would be!” I saw the camera pointed at me as soon as Sooyoung released me. Oh right! “Annyeonghaseyo! I am TYS’s song writing master Kim Taeyeon,” I laughed. “I’m totally kidding by the way.” I heard laughter from the crew. Whew. Good, I really hoped people didn’t take that seriously.

“Thank you Taeng!”

“Aniyo, it’s no problem Sunkyu. I had nothing else to do. Ah! That reminds me. Where’s Tiffany and why isn’t she texting me back?” She laughed.

“Oh, she left her charger in Japan. I told oppa to bring her here after her shoot though.” Aish that girl.

“Oh jinjja?” She nodded. “Good, she had me totally worried.” Sunny laughed.

“Don’t worry Taeng. She’s not mad at you,” she teased. Ugh!

“Yah! How’s your song coming along?” Her expression changed completely.

“It isn’t. We're so bad at this.”

“Seriously, how do you do it,” Sooyoung asked. Wait…

“How do I write songs?” They both nodded. I don’t think there was a particular trick I had or anything… “Uh, well I just write down the things I’m thinking or feeling usually. Oh, or things that I want to say and can’t... Does that make sense?” I looked at their blank faces.

“Ye-yeah Taeng, but how? Everything that we’ve tried ends up sounding stupid.” Hmm.

“Are you writing it together?” They nodded again. “Ah, simple. Write around a verse each yourself and then you can just combine them later.”

“Oh my god. Why didn’t we think of that?” I laughed.

“Ne, just write about what you want to tell the other person or something, I don’t know,” I suggested.

“Ah Taeng you are a genius. Alright Sooyoungie, you go over there and I’ll stay here.”

The separated and started to try and write verses again. Wait a second.

“What is this even for? Are you guys releasing a duet?”

“Yes, but we’ll also be performing it live in a month.”

“Oh, jinjja?” Sooyoung hummed. “That’s awesome.”

“Yeah all the WGM couples are going to perform on a Valentine’s Day special MBC is having.”

“Really?” I heard a hum. “That should be a lot of fun.”

“Ne, you’ll be singing with IU too, so don’t feel left out Tae,” Sunny teased. I almost questioned it, but then I remembered that ‘Nagging’ was sort of for WGM so that was totally understandable.

I gave then another ten minutes or so before I asked to see what they had done. I knew they weren’t going to be finished, but I wanted to see if they were at least headed in the right track.

They weren’t. At all. I could see where they were trying to go, but they were not going to get this finished today at this pace. They haven’t even put music to it, let alone start the recording. Aish! It was already 1:30!

“Okay, so-“

“They ?”

“Ani! They aren’t bad, it’s just that it’s not quite there yet. You have to get this done today right?” They hummed. Hmm, I guess I could easily solve this problem. “Why don’t you just use a song that I’ve already written?”

“Really? You would let us do that?” I nodded.

“I don’t see why not,” I laughed. “It’s not like I can sing them all. I’ve only written a few duets though. So let me scan through and see if I can find them first.”

I pulled out a notebook from my backpack.

“Omo, he brought his song books! We’re saved Sunny!”

“Yah~! Not yet, who knows if they’re even in these two.”  One of their cameramen tried to get around me, I’m assuming to watch me look at my books. I had to stop him though. “Ani, ani. You can’t film these,” I said as I motioned toward the book. “What if Tiffany saw them? Wah~ it would be so embarrassing. Just please stay over on that side.” They agreed and soon I was flipping through pages.

“I’ll go get Kenzie unnie and the other music producer,” Sunny jumped up. Not long after I felt my phone vibrate. Ah! Finally she bought a new charger.

From: Shikshin

Taeng, I’m begging you to pick out one of your cutest songs. I want to ask her to be my girlfriend soon…like today. This has to seal the deal.

 

Oh my god. I looked at him to see that he was looking right back at me with a very hopeful yet distraught face. He was totally serious about this. I nodded at him.

With all the help he’s given me in the past this was the least I could do. I wanted to so bad though, but I knew I couldn’t…not yet anyway!

I began searching even quicker.

No, not a duet, nope, ah here’s one. I started to say something, but I decided against it. Sorry Soo. I like this one too much!

I kept looking. The next one wasn’t a duet either. Aish this one isn’t… wait a second. This one might…

I read over the words once again. Omo. If I just changed a few words here and there this would be totally perfect. I didn’t write it as a duet, but that was easily fixable. I laughed at how well this was going to fit to his situation. Daebak, this will be beautiful.

I began to quickly edit bits of it, making it even more perfect for them to sing together.

“I’m back,” Sunny exclaimed bringing me from my thoughts. I looked up to see Sunny entering the room followed by Kenzie, one of the more known producers and composers here at SM. I quickly stood to bow. Then another lady came in behind her. I wasn’t sure who she was but I bowed nonetheless. Then it looked like an assistant walked in after her. Jeesh, there was a whole little army here today.

“Ah, Kim Taeyeon! What are you doing here?”

“I am giving them one of my songs,” I laughed.

“Oh really?” I nodded. “Now I’m really excited,” Kenzie laughed. “Is it about Tiffany?”

“Not anymore! It’s now about Sunny and Sooyoung,” I joked. “But yeah… it was.”

“This should be interesting.”

________________________________________________________________________________________________

As soon as the assistant came back with the copies of my song, Kenzie started to go over it, as did everyone else in the room. I was putting my notebook away when I heard a loud voice.

“Yah! How do you expect me to sing this?” Aish. I laughed.

“Soo, we’ll obviously have to move the notes down for you and up for Sunny. I wrote all these with my voice in mind,” I laughed again.

“Are you going to stay and help us?” I looked at Sunny and then to Soo, who was nodding his head. “Tiffany’s coming here when she’s done anyway.” Crap, she’s right.

“Yeah, I guess I’ll stay.”

After Kenzie and I decided who would sing which lines, she and the other PD that came in began to work on the music. Since we really couldn’t help her either, the three of us sat at the table a little off to the side.

“So you really like it? It’s not too… much?”

“Ani it’s a really cute song Tae,” Sunny complimented. “Tiffany is so lucky wah~! Her boyfriend writes songs about her all the time.”

“No~, I just write them, because I don’t think I could say it any other way.”

“Yeah Taeng likes to keep his problems to himself, even though I tell him all the time that he can talk to me,” he said loudly as he wrapped an arm around me. I nodded. I couldn’t even disagree with that.

I knew I kept to myself most of the time, but I just don’t want to make my members worry even more than they already do. I mean, we all have our own problems, so I don’t want to add mine on to their own. I know Soo for one would be trying to help me out before he helped himself too because that was just the kind of person he was. I didn’t want that though, so I tried to keep it all in.

“Well you should Taeng. Soo is a great listener. So is Tiffany, kind of,” She paused. “Eh, well I’m sure she’d listen to you anyway.” I grinned. She was right. Tiffany was the one person who I tried to share everything with. I knew it wasn’t fair to her to complain or just talk about my issues all the time, but I wanted her to know and she wanted to know them just as much. She would just make me tell her anyway if she caught on that there was something bothering me anyway. I smiled.

“Yeah, I’ve been trying to tell her everything. What I usually write down is stuff that I’m too embarrassed to say aloud,” I laughed. Like the past few songs we’ve put out, I said in my head.

“Yah,” Sunny’s tone was harsher. “Why can’t you write me one?” Sooyoung just laughed.

“Because I am not Kim Taeyeon,” he grinned. “I’ll make you delicious food instead, okay?” She glared at him for a second and then broke out in to a grin.

“Okay,” her tone was back to being cute. What the hell? Was this what it was like to watch Tiffany and I? I shook my head and started spinning in the chair I was in.

It was around thirty minutes or so later when a voice broke through our small talk.

“Alright! We have a few different choices.” Seriously? Already?

“Really?”

“Ne, we went through music that was already made, but hasn’t been used yet. Okay here’s the first one. Taeyeon do you want to trial sing them?”

“Uh sure!” I took the sheet with the words on it and she hit play.

I knew the first few weren’t right from the start. They didn’t have the feel that I was trying to give off.

“Okay we have two more. Here’s one.”

It started with a light guitar and piano sound. Ooh, so far so good. I sang the first verse with it and everything seemed to fit right in. The chorus fit too!

“Omo, this is it,” I exclaimed.

“We have another to listen to-“

“Ani. I vote this one! What do you think?” I looked to Soo and Sunny.

“I think you should just sing it with me,” Sunny teased. “That was so good Tae!”

“Yah!” I laughed. “What about me?”

“I’m just kidding Sooyoungie,” she grinned up at him. “Jeesh, calm down.”

After fixing the pitch and another minor lyrical adjustment, they began recording, and recording and recording. I tried my best to help for a while, but I didn’t know if I was helping or being annoying… so I decided to keep my mouth shut until they asked for my opinion.

What really surprised me though was Sunny’s voice. I never knew how good of a singer she actually was. Don’t get me wrong, she sounds great in all the SNSD songs, but compared to what I was hearing now it was completely different. It almost seemed like they had her sing with an extra cute voice or something. I don’t know, but they should definitely let her sing like this more often.

Sooyoung wasn’t doing too bad either. I could truly tell those extra singling practices he’s been going to have really been helping. Since he was usually rapping I’m sure that this was way different for him. I was really impressed.

After another hour or more I began to get hungry. They were about done recording too thankfully. I looked at my watch. Holy crap! It was already almost 6!

“Hey does anyone want food? I’m gonna go to the place across the street.” I got everyone’s orders and headed over.

Around forty minutes later I finally returned with Sunny’s manager. “Sorry guys,” I announced as I entered. “That place was packed.” I noticed a brunette that definitely wasn’t there before I left. “Fany-ah?” She turned and yes! It was her. I quickly set the bags down on the table and pulled her in to a big hug. “I’ve missed you.” I felt a peck on my jaw.

“I’ve missed you too Tae.” We released. “Wah~ you look nice today.” I grinned.

“I had a- an interview,” I quickly lied. I couldn’t tell her the real reason I dressed nicer today. Not yet anyway.

“Jinjja? With wh-“

“Yah , the song is done.” Oh thank god.

“Really?” He hummed.

“It’s not all the way done,” Kenzie corrected. “We just have the raw cut. We’ll have to go through and clean it up and probably even mix it again before it’s done.”

“Well, then it’s close to being done,” Sooyoung laughed. “We’ve been waiting on you to listen to it.” What!

“What are you waiting for now? Go, go, go!” I noticed Tiffany laughing. “What are you laughing about punk,” I teased. She shook her head and smiled even wider. Her eyes were almost invisible now.

“I just really missed you Taeyeon.” I felt myself get all fuzzy inside again. Aish! Why does she always do this to me?

I pulled her close to me and kissed her forehead. “I really missed you too. Hey, you know I wrote this song?” She nodded.

“Sunny told me. Is it about me?” I proudly hummed.

“Well it was. I changed it a little so it fit to their, uh… predicament…perfectly,” I said as I started to laugh. Her eyes widened.

“Alright here we go,” Kenzie announced as she hit play. I heard the piano start followed by the soft sound of the guitar and then I heard Soo’s voice.

 

[Sooyoung]
Are we friends or dating?
Nowadays I’m confused about you and even more about myself,
[Sunny]
When we’re walking and also watching movies
I have a deep secret to tell you. Ohh~

[Sooyoung] We’re friends, closer than lovers
[Sunny] But what should I do, I love you [Both] baby~

[Both] Suddenly everything of you, I’m fond of everything of you
I will slowly and slowly become closer
I like everything about you
I don’t have to say you’re my one love,
Please stay with me and promise me
Forever~

[Sooyoung] With all of my heart like a man, I want to confess
[Sunny] You’d better catch my heart, you’d better know my heart [Both]  baby~

[Both] Suddenly everything of you, I’m fond of everything of you
I will slowly and slowly become closer
I like everything about you
I don’t have to say you’re my one love,
Please stay with me and promise me
Forever~

[Sunny] There’s no friendship between boys and girls, I didn’t believe it back then
[Sooyoung] No, even though we are lovers we are still being good friends.
[Sunny] I will listen to you / [Sooyoung] I will listen to you

[Both] More than the word ‘I love you’ we’re still, we’re feeling sweet.
A little bit more starting from today
I like everything about you
Your hands I took, I won’t let you go
I will say I love you instead
Forever~

 

 

Tiffany was hitting my chest almost the whole time the song was playing, but she didn’t need to. I saw the whole thing. Sooyoung and Sunny’s reactions to hearing the song all put together were priceless.

I’m sure it was different while they were in the booth alone recording just a line or two at a time, but all together? Omo, Sooyoung was so red, you would have thought he just ate like 15 jalapeno peppers. At once.

Sunny wasn’t making eye contact either. Oh my god, these two were so in to each other. I don’t even know why they were trying to deny it anymore.

“That was fantastic,” Tiffany complimented from beside me. Her smile was big too, maybe a little too big. I nudged her and then chimed in myself.

“Yeah that sounded great guys.” It did too, Sooyoung’s deeper voice mixed in with Sunny’s higher tone sounded phenomenal. Hmm, I wonder what Tiffany and I would sound like together on a real track? We’ve only sang songs together for fun so far.

Our voices were closer in range, but they’d still sound good right? They definitely wo-

“Really?” I shook out of my thoughts and nodded.

“Yeah that was really good.”

“Kenzie unnie,” Tiffany called out. “Is Taeyeon free to go now?” She laughed.

“Of course Tiffany. Thank you again for letting them use your song, we’ll give you all the credit for it.” I grinned.

“No problem! Just don’t screw it up you two,” I teased.

“Yeah yeah, get out of here,” Sooyoung said as he pushed me toward the door.

“Yah! This is what you do to me for helping you out? Aish! I see how it is,” I called out teasingly. As soon as we were in the hall I was pushed up against the wall. “Ow, omo-,“ was the only thing I could utter before Tiffany’s lips were on mine.

Her hand was on the back of my head pulling me in deeper and deeper as she plunged her tongue hungrily in to my mouth, causing me to literately gasp. I felt the corners of turn upward as her tongue made sweeping motions inside my mouth, eventually meeting with my tongue. It was almost intoxicating, like I was being pulled back in to a drug that I had been missing for so long. Too long really.

My hands soon found their favorite resting spot. They didn’t rest however, they mindlessly caressed over her back pockets inducing small moans from the girl in front of me.

That unfortunately brought me back to reality. We were in the SM building. Not only that, but there was a camera crew in the room just five feet away. I silently thanked the gods that the door didn’t have windows as I began to retract myself from her. She however, did not want to stop.

“Fany-ah, “ I said in between her onslaught of kisses. “Fany… we have… to stop.” Oh boy did I wish we didn’t have to too, but we couldn’t do this here, and especially not now. I started to softly push her away. She groaned and pulled away with my bottom lip in between her teeth. Oh good lord. My breath hitched just as she released it.

“Fine.” With one final peck on the lips she turned around and started walking away. What the hell? Seriously? How could she just walk away like that when I was still standing here catching my breath? Omo. I felt my lower region reacting in a way that it definitely shouldn’t be right now. Oh god and I just had to wear skinny jeans today. Ugh!

“Tiffany,” I called after her. “Fany-ah!” I quickly caught up to her. “Fany, I can’t leave the building like this.” She looked at me confusedly.

“Like what?” Seriously? I looked down at the uncomfortable position I was in and back up. She did the same and then shyly looked away. Oh my gosh, really? One minute she was full on attacking me and the next she was shy about it?

“Fany-ah, we can’t leave yet.”

“Taeyeon,” she started leaning closer. “Maybe you should learn to control yourself better,” she whispered huskily. Omo!

ME? Control MYself? Oh my god…

Immediately returning to her position she spoke again. “Let’s go to Starbucks. I want coffee.” My eyes doubled in size at her.

“Coffee?” COFFEE? Seriously? I could not believe this. She nodded.

“Mhm, let’s go,” she said as she turned and walked away yet again.  What the hell!

“Yah, Fany!” I caught up to her in the elevator where I quickly put my jacket on. Thankfully it was long enough to cover the problem area. I let out a small ‘assa.’ I then noticed Tiffany giggling at me and shook my head.

Aish, who knew SNSD’s Tiffany Hwang was such a tease?
