“When I introduced the sponsored items, you guys didn’t speak a word but you were very noisy,” Yoo Inna cheered. We all laughed.

Whoops!

We were in a pretty good mood today though…

“I felt like I was a teacher of mischievous high school boys… it wasn’t a bad feeling though,” she teased.

“Sorry Inna noona, we’ll try to behave,” Yuri said back.

“Ne,” she laughed. “Today’s Crank Up the Volume guest is TYS! Welcome!” We greeted her quickly. “Wow~ it’s been a long time! What is it almost a year?” I tried to think back to the last time I saw her.

“I think so.”

“Aniyo, I saw you last December on Heroes,” I corrected.

“Ah! That’s right! How has everyone been?”

“We’ve been doing well, very busy, but very well too,” Yuri laughed.

Yul had a tiny crush on Yoo Inna noona…

“Well good! Let’s introduce yourselves one by one to the Volume family.”

“Ne! Annyeonghaseyo I am TYS’s kid leader, Taeyeon!”

“Annyeonghaseyo, I am TYS’s maknae, Sooyoung!”

“Annyeonghaseyo! I am in charge of TYS’s looks, Yuri.”

“Woo,” she cheered! “Comments and questions are already coming in at an amazing speed,” she marveled. “I heard when you went on Sukira a few days ago that over one hundred thousand messages came in! Wow~! Can we expect the same thing on Volume?”

“Of course!”

“We believe in our fans,” I said happily.

It still felt amazing that so many people sent in messages and questions! I really did love our fans. Ah, I really wish we could answer all of their questions too, but unfortunately we could only do a few.

“Ne, so many fans came today,” she said referring to the ones that showed up at the studio. “Your new single ‘Boy in Luv’ has been getting a lot of love these days too. You already all-killed the three broadcasting stations this past weekend, is that right?”

“Ne!” “It’s such an honor!”

“Wow, congratulations.” We thanked her. “I really liked it too! It was so cool. I watched the TV with my mouth open for the first time in a long time,” she laughed. “Ne I knew you guys were great but I thought, wow, they are really great this time.”

We thanked her again.

“Sooyoung-ssi, people have been talking about how great your performance was especially.”

“Ah jinjja?”

“Ne, there was even an article out the other day that said you were such a great rapper.”

“No way! On what? I’ll have to frame it,” he laughed.

“Seriously, it said that you were on the same level as G-Dragon-ssi and TOP-ssi.”

“Really?” That’s the same response I was thinking too.

“Yeah! Haven’t you seen the article?”

“Aniyo, we’ve been so busy with our promotions,” he laughed. “We’re lucky if we get four hours of sleep… They really said that though?” She hummed. “Wow.” He stood and bowed toward the camera that was filming us. “Thank you so much to whoever said that. Wah~! That’s such an honor; to be compared to either of them is amazing.”

“Yeah, they are great. Since we’re from the same company I try to see them as often as I can,” she laughed. Sooyoung still looked way too shocked.

I totally understood though. To be compared to the people that you look up to is great, especially when they’re saying good things. It always felt so weird to be compared to Yesung hyung. Weird, but very, very nice.

“2NE1 was here yesterday and CL said she was really impressed with you too,” Inna said, completely blowing Soo’s mind again.

“Jinjja?!”

“Ne! I asked who they would want to collaborate with in the future and she said you.”

“No way…”

“Yes way! I’m sure you can go back and watch it when you get home.”

“I definitely will…Daebak.”

 I agreed.

That was awesome. CL was the best female rapper hands down.

“Uh, CL-ssi I would gladly work with you in the future. Please have your manager contact mine or something,” he said. “I can’t believe this… You’re not pranking me are you?” Inna laughed.

“Aniyo, of course not, but we are getting a little off topic…”

She was right, but I can’t believe that he just said that on a broadcast, he was so lame!

“So back to your single ‘Boy in Luv’… How was the response? Amazing right?”

I pulled myself back in to interview mode.

“We’ve gotten comments like ‘it’s exciting’ and ‘the dance is unique’, things like that… so yeah, we’re enjoying it,” I responded truthfully.

“Ne the dance is very impressive, how long did it take to learn?”

“Around a month?”

“Yeah, we practiced the choreography even with the sample track,” I laughed.

“Wow, you learned all of that in a month?”

“A month is actually a long time,” he paused. “But some of us are a little slower when it comes to picking up the dance moves,” he grinned.

“Me,” I admitted. She just laughed.

“Don’t worry; I wouldn’t have been able to do that even if I devoted my entire life to learn it.” We all laughed. “So when you got this choreography did you think ‘oh wow, how are we ever going to do this’ or like ‘wow, what a piece of cake’?”

“I thought I was going to die,” I admitted again. “I had no idea how they expected me to learn that.”

“Ne, this has been the most intense dance we’ve ever had.”

“Even last time with the chairs wasn’t too bad because there weren’t actually that many moves. This one, however I was excited,” Yuri admitted. “I really like dancing, so I was happy with a more complex one.”

“Ahh I see… so the dances get harder each time you promote?”

“It seems that way,” Sooyoung laughed. Oh god.

“I don’t even want to imagine next time then,” I said earning a round of laughter.

“It might take him two months this time to learn it,” Yuri teased.

“Ne, sorry fans. Please patiently wait for my slow learning. Next time I’ll try even harder.” We all laughed.

“That’s not the only thing that has changed since debut though, is it?”

“Of course not!”

Oh no, I knew where this was heading. I cleared my throat to prepare to answer the questions about Fany-ah.

“Alright then let me ask you a few questions I have here, okay?” We all agreed. “Uh, let’s all answer with ‘yes or no’ when I count to three, alright?” Okay, so maybe it’s not about Tiffany…

“Ne!”

“Okay, honestly, even when I look at myself, I’ve become more handsome. 1, 2, 3!”

We all replied with a ‘ne’.                                 

“Wow! Who do you think changed the most?”

“Hmm,” I started. We all then answered at the same time… with two different answers.

I said Yuri, while those two picked me.

Wait… me?

“Ah why Taeyeon-ssi?” I saw Soo grin. Oh god.

“I don’t know… I just think overall he looks brighter and happier?”

“Ahh, I think I might know the reason for that one,” she laughed.

Oh gosh here we go…

“But, we’ll talk about that later.” Whew. “You know, just like last time we met, I still think that TYS is the least nervous and most relaxed idol group.”

“Ah jinjja?” She confirmed.

“Wow, thank you. You must meet a lot of groups too since you’re a radio DJ,” I commented.

“But it’s also the atmosphere here because Yoo Inna noona makes us feel so comfortable,” Yuri said charmingly.

“That’s right,” Sooyoung agreed. I just laughed.

“Ah wow, thank you, but Taeyeon-ssi, why are you laughing like that?”

Oh crap. I laughed even harder now that I’ve been caught.

“It’s nothing,” I said quickly.

“Aye~! You have to tell us now!”

“Arasso, I said. “It’s just Yuri was so nervous before he met you again and now he’s acting like this.”

“Yeah, Yuri has a huge crush on you noona,” Sooyoung boldly admitted. I knew the crush wasn’t much past him thinking she was very pretty, but still.

“Ah jinjja?” He shyly nodded. “Ah well thank you! I’m a big fan of yours too.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“Maybe we can work on a drama together soon.” I watched her grin.

Oh my god. Was Yoo Inna actually enjoying this?!

“Ah, maybe Yuri-yah,” she said with a smile.

Omo, and she spoke comfortably!?

“I hope s-“

“Yah! What’s going on here,” Sooyoung asked loudly.

“Right! I’m getting off topic again,” Inna quickly recovered and took a look at her paper in front of her. “Getting back to what I was saying, you three are more of the relaxed idols I’ve had on here. I know you guys talk pretty recklessly too, well not reckless, but… comfortably, right?”

“Ne, ne.”

“Does the company say anything? Like tell you to do things more like an idol or say only the prepared lines or such?”

I got a good kick out of that one.

“Now, even when they do, we don’t listen to them,” Soo said cheekily.

“They used to a lot, like in the beginning,” Yul added.

“Ah jinjja? Why don’t you listen to them?”

“Well it’s not that we don’t listen to them,” I tried to correct. “It’s just that we want to do it in our own style, I guess?” She asked me to explain. Ugh! “Uhm, well we don’t want to come out here and give cookie cutter answers, we want our fans to know the real us and our actual personalities, not just the concept we were given this time.”

“Wah~ he really is the leader,” Inna gushed.

“Kinda,” Soo teased. Inna laughed again.

“It really does seem like TYS says whatever they want!”

“Ne, we do. Most of it skips the brain and just come right out,” Soo teased again.

“It skips the brain?” Sooyoung confirmed and she just kept laughing.

I wish more interviewers were like her, it hasn’t once felt awkward like it does with some of the other MCs or interviewers.

“Ah then since you took first place again with ‘Boy in Luv’ is there anything you want to ask your boss? It’s been over a year since your debut right?”

“Ne, it’s actually closer to two years now I think.”

“Oh, well then using this place, since you three are the best now, say something to your boss.” I laughed.

“There’s no need to say anything,” Yuri said. “But every time we win first, he buys us meat.”

“Ah that’s right,” I agreed.

“So you don’t have anything to ask him? Taeyeon-ssi? I heard you weren’t happy with the song choice of ‘Boy in Luv.’”

Crap. I should have known this would have been brought up after Eunhyuk hyung brought it up on Super Junior’s Kiss the Radio…

“Yeah,” I laughed.  “At first I didn’t think it suited us, but it started to grow on me. I don’t really hate it anymore, but I don’t love it either.” She smiled.

“Now that it’s a hit doesn’t hurt either does it?” I laughed.

“Aniyo, that’s not all of it,” I started. “It might have made a small difference, but it actually is a really fun song to perform.” She laughed again.

“So what kind of a song is it that made your leader not like it? Sooyoung-ssi?”

“Uh, ahh well it’s a bit faster and more powerful than our songs before,” he started. She agreed. “This is the first one since our debut song that we have promoted that Taeyeon hasn’t written too.”

“Ah jinjja? Why didn’t you write this one?”

“Ne,” I replied. “LSM wanted us to quickly put out a new song before we go on tour here in a month or so and because it would take too long for an album or even a mini album, he just had us record a song that was already made for us.”

“Ahh well let’s take a listen then shall we? We’ll be back with some questions for TYS from our Volume family in just a little bit! Sooyoung-ssi what song is it going to be?”

He went on to announce our new single and soon it began playing. When we got back from the break it was exactly like she said. Question time!

She asked us a few random questions from viewers like ‘Do we visit the company when we don’t have any schedules?’ and ‘When is your next album?’ and things like that, but then it got to the more interesting ones.

“Here’s a question from No Yunji; ‘Sooyoung oppa, when you are not shooting WGM do you ever meet Sunny unnie? I’m so~ curious!’”

“Ne”, he answered quickly. “We meet often.”

“Ah jinjja?! Why? Where do you go?” He laughed, for now he had to play it just right so he wouldn’t reveal anything.

“Ne, of course. For starters we were close to SNSD even before we got fake married so they’re our good friends and not to mention in the same company as us.”

“Ne, that’s right.”

“And since Taeyeon and Tiffany are together and have been for a while, we’ve been brought together because of their meetings as well.,” he paused. “Even back in the day they would often use us as shields to help protect their secret, so we met those times too.”

“Ooh what do you mean? Taeyeon-ssi?” Aish!

“Ne, in the past when Tiffany and I would go out we always tried to bring someone with us so we weren’t being too suspicious.”

“Ah because if you were in a group you could say things like ‘oh it wasn’t a date so and so was there too’?”

“Yep, that’s exactly right,” I agreed.

“So all you idols out there that want to date, these are some good tips,” she said cheerfully in to the mic.

“They can’t be very good if they got caught,” Sooyoung teased.

“You’re right,” she laughed. “That’s a very good point… Now that you two are publicly a couple, how is it? Would you prefer to have kept it a secret the whole time?”

I knew Tiffany questions would show up eventually…

“I actually don’t know,” I answered honestly. “They both have good qualities and bad ones.”

“Like what?”

“Uh, like the best thing that has come out of us being out is that we can go out whenever we can and we don’t have to live in fear like, oh no what if they saw us look at each other like that or other silly things.”

“Ahh,” she nodded. “And the worst?”

“Hmm,” I thought about it for a second. “I was about to say privacy, but I guess we didn’t have much of that in the first place,” I laughed. “So I’ll say the worst part is that my fans have become Tiffany’s antis.”

She asked me to explain.

“Well it’s just that people who are fans of mine have turned against Tiffany and have been saying very mean things to her on the social networking sites and I just feel horrible, especially when they mention my name in the mean comments!”

Which was true, I hated that she had to get all these mean messages just because I loved her.

“Ah I see, because they like you so much they don’t want to see you with anyone.” I hummed. “Do you have anything you want to say to all the Tiffany antis out there?”

Oh did I... I doubt half of them could be said on the radio though, so I had to tone it down.

“Ne. Please do not hate Tiffany for being with me, or well for any reason,” I grinned. “I love her, so that means you should too!”

“Aww~! Is he always this cute?”

“Noona, this isn’t even anything.”

They went on to embarrass me even more on the live radio by telling some of the other ‘cute’ things I do for Fany. Ugh!

_________________________________________________________________

It was around 4PM the next day and the three of us had just arrived in Japan… along with our managers and a small filming crew.

Today was the first stop on SNSD’s First Japan Arena Tour and we were here to surprise them.

Actually it was only supposed to be Sooyoung that came, for this was also doubling as one of the SooSun couple’s WGM dates. Yuri and I however talked Hyung into letting us come along. I mean we surprisingly didn’t have another schedule until tomorrow morning anyway and we could totally be back by then.

I also really wanted to watch one of the concerts eventually, so what better than the first one?

 I wanted to watch the product of my Fany working so hard these past weeks. I don’t think I’ve seen her in two weeks so this better be fantastic.

The not seeing each other was partly my fault too though.

We had been doing our non-stop promotions for ‘Boy in Luv.’ Not to mention rehearsing for our tour coming up soon.

She didn’t even get to watch us win on any of the music shows this past weekend either though because she’s been so busy. Rehearsing and rehearsing some more for her tour and the SM Tour date we both had coming up in just a little under a week.

I was surprised we won in the first place though honestly.

The song that I thought for sure would go right down the drain, took off.  Like… it blew my mind. I think our music video, that was just released two weeks ago, already had around nine million views, maybe more by now.

Was that even possible?

Every interview we had been on so far has brought up how popular the song was…and how I didn’t like it.

It’s not that I didn’t like it, I think it was just hard for me to digest the ‘bad boy’ concept at first, especially before we released it because I thought it didn't match me at all. However, when I watched Yuri and Sooyoung doing it with such an ease, I started to think about how silly my thoughts were. It’s just a concept, almost like an acting role.

Just like how I put on the ‘bad boy’ show in the music video, after takes and takes mind you. I needed to pull through and give the fans a great performance too. Since they were expecting bad boy Taeyeon, that’s exactly what I gave them... er, I tried to at least.

Actually performing like that was sort of fun now that I’ve done it a good number of times. Our powerful dances and quick lyrics really got my adrenaline going. The fan’s too obviously.

They cheered louder than they ever have for us… it was crazy.

I knew Yuri and Soo enjoyed it as well.

Yuri had a pretty husky voice, so all the softer and cuter songs we sang were sort of stressful for him. He could do the soft and cuter things great, it was just that he preferred the songs where he could be more natural.  However, Sooyoung just liked acting arrogant. He was good at it too, and I mean this in the best way possible.

We got to the arena around an hour later and snuck in the back way. SNSD’s manager knew that we’d be here so he helped us in and gave us the passes that basically gave us free roaming capabilities.

“Now with these you’ll be able to get backstage after the concert is over, okay?” We nodded. “We reserved space for you pretty close to the stage so that the camera crew can stay in the camera area and still capture you Sooyoung.”

“Ah, thanks hyung!” Wait a minute.

“Is it just going to be us three going out there?” Won’t there be a little bit of a crowd issue?

“Ne, don’t worry Taeyeon. There are plenty of security guards out there.” I nodded. I guess he was right. “Plus, they came to see the girls, not you guys.”

That was also a very good point.

“Alright, I’ve got to get back. Have fun!”

Thirty minutes later we went out to the area we’d be in and omo. He wasn’t kidding.

We were very close to the stage, maybe too close. The main stage was like ten feet away from us. The only thing that separated us was a gate, cameras, and a few security guards…

I obviously loved it, but it would sort of ruin the whole surprise element if they saw us!

I was hoping with all the lighting effects and screaming fans though, their eyes would be drawn somewhere else. Especially since the stage was huge… there was no way they’d see us!

Wrong.

Through almost the first forty minutes there wasn’t a scare, not even when they stopped and talked to everyone for a few minutes. We did hide our faces through that time though, but still, it was scare free.

However, during the performance of ‘Oh’ I accidently locked eyes with Seohyun while I was smiling stupidly at Tiffany’s aegyo.

Oh no…

“Crap,” I said aloud.

“What’d you say,” Sooyoung called over the screaming fans around us.

“I think Seohyun saw me!” His eyes doubled.

“Jinjja?” I nodded. “Ugh! Taeyeon~!” He gave me a mean glare.

“Don’t worry I’ll text Jiho hyung and tell him to figure it out!” He nodded and I pulled out my phone quickly.

Jeesh. I don’t even know if she actually saw me!

The girls soon finished the song and now there was a cute little video playing. I think it was time for the solo stages so they were probably backstage changing. Neither Tiffany nor her manager would tell me what her solo performance was though.

I was so annoyed.

All that Tiffany said was that it was a song that I would like… What the hell does that mean? That could mean so many things!!

Ugh! I would just have to keep my solo stage a secret from her during our tour too…

The video ended and then piano music filled the air!

Omo, was this Fany?!

Aish! No.

It was Jessica’s stage… and it was in English. I looked over at Yuri and he was watching with wide eyes.

Thanks to all my English lessons I’ve been taking I was actually able to understand the song too! Well kinda…

Wait, this was a sad song…

“I hope this is about you Yul,” Sooyoung said as he laughed.

“Yah, that’s not funny,” he argued. I laughed.

It was a little funny. She was singing about almost loving someone, someone that’s obviously Yuri. Actually, the song was pretty perfect for their situation which just made this even better. The only difference was that the song is saying that it’s over, when I was pretty sure that ‘YulSic’ was just beginning, especially with the look that was on Yuri’s face.

I heard the music come to an end, only to start again a couple seconds later. The stage in front of us lit up and… it was Sunny?

Omo, she was in a short black outfit and dancing a little uh… provocatively.

Lee Sunkyu you little devil.

I looked at Sooyoung and his jaw was basically on the ground. Omo, I burst out in laughter at his frozen gaze. He quickly pulled himself together though once she got a little close to one of her backup dancers.

“Yah,” he shouted loudly. I had to quickly cover his mouth.

“Sooyoung, jesus. You can’t yell like that!”

“He touched my Sunny!” I just laughed.

“Okay, then beat him up after the concert though Soo, not in the middle of it.” I heard him exhale forcefully.

It got even worse a minute or so later when Sunny almost laid on the one dancer while another one hovered closely over top of her.

Oh good lord Sunkyu, you’re going to give Soo a heart attack… and maybe a lawsuit.

If we wouldn’t have been there I really think he would’ve hopped the gate and punched those guys right in the face.

Thankfully the song came to an end and then the next song started. I held my breath and…

Aish! It was Seohyun with a slower ballad… that was also in English.

What was with all their solo stages being in English?

They did know this was Japan right?

Whatever. I shrugged it off and continued to enjoy her song, especially because I knew Tiffany had to be next. I guess they really did save the best for last eh?

Seohyun’s song ended and I turned toward the main stage where she would probably be performing at since Seo was on one of the smaller ones just like Jessica was.

The lights and I knew I was right!

Her beautiful voice filled my ears. Ah~!

She too was singing in English. With it being her native language though it sounded flawless.

I was just happy she wasn’t doing anything too provocative like Sunny did. I did not need any more fan-boys lining up to hurt me for taking ‘their’ Tiffany away.

Even her outfit was pretty unrevealing; a long white rain coat. I was proud. Maybe all my picking on her finally got through.

“Ah~! She’s so goo- omo.”

Just then she took off the hat she was wearing and started to walk away from the microphone stand.

The beat dropped, along with her coat that she just took off and-

OH.

MY.

GOD.

Tiffany!

She was in a short and tight silver dress and I don’t think I was breathing any more.

Was this even legal?

Oh good lord. I really needed to start thanking one or all of the gods for letting that beautiful, y…UGH!

I don’t even know anymore.

She smirked in my direction and then kept singing.

Oh god, Seohyun totally saw me and then told Tiffany.

No~ she wouldn’t have.

Tiffany walked to the far side of the stage and did a dance move where she dropped down low giving me the perfect view of her flawless and I lost it.

It was definitely illegal to be this damn attractive. Also, I’m 300% sure that it is illegal to tease me like this… in public.

It was evident a few seconds later though that Seohyun had told her, for Tiffany stopped right in front of us and started to basically rock her back and forth. I looked at her behind and then up to her eyes and…

I gulped.

She was staring right at me with a devious smirk plastered across her face.

I didn’t know whether I wanted to hug or hurt Seohyun for this, but I was definitely thankful.

Was it getting hot in here, or was it me?

She soon threw the umbrella she was holding on the ground and started walking down the runway thing in the middle of the fans. She repeated the chorus once and then suddenly the music stopped.

“Oh no,” I said aloud. A quick jolt of panic went through me, but then I was relieved.

Thankfully she wasn’t lip syncing this performance because that would have been so bad. Whew.

My Tiffany continued to sing the last twenty seconds or so a cappella. Wah~! She even adlibbed at the end. Oh gosh she was so great.

I felt a sudden sense of pride come over me.

______________________________________________________

 

“That was so good everyone,” Oppa said as we came in from performing our encore.

“Ah thanks oppa!”

“Ne, it felt good to be back out there!”

I had to agree with that. I loved performing… even though the stupid audio glitched on my solo stage. Ugh!

“Let’s hurry and get changed and back to the dorm, we have to do this all again tomorrow.” We all called out various confirmations and continued in to our waiting room.

“Sunny unnie still doesn’t know,” Seohyun asked as she came over to where I was. I shook my head.

Before our solo stages Seohyun told me that she saw Taeyeon here. At first I just looked at her, like… really? Why would they come all the way to Japan for our concert?

Don’t get me wrong, I would love if they did. It makes me so happy that Taeyeon supports me so much in everything I do, but they have got to be super busy right? They’re right in the middle of promoting their new single and Taeyeon is already taking a few extra days off here in a week or so, so I figured they’d be in Korea doing or filming something!

I was wrong though. As soon as Oppa came up to Seohyun, who had just got done telling me, he told her to not say anything to anyone else, especially Sunny.

After that I got so excited. Taeyeon was here! My Taetae was actually here in Japan! Omo and he’d get to watch my first performance of ‘Umbrella.’

When I went out on the stage I saw that he really was here! That was when I decided to give him a little… thank you, and stop right in front of him for my booty shaking move.

I couldn’t see his face all that well for all the lights and whatnot, but I could tell his jaw was low. Ah~! It felt so good to be looked at like he looked at me. For him to still look at me like it’s the first time he’s seen me do something like that, when it obviously wasn’t… It was indescribable really.

Throughout the rest of the show I tried to steal as many glances as I could at him without giving it away to Sunny and especially the audience. I was still shocked that no one had jumped on them yet. Eh, well I bet they had a few extra security guards with them.

Whatever! I quickly finished putting on my regular clothes and stepped outside of the room. I expected to be greeted by a smiling Taeyeon, but it was only my manager and a few other random people.

What the hell?

“Oppa?” He hummed. “Have you seen-“ Suddenly my eyes were covered. “Aish!”

“Muwahah,” I heard come from behind me. “Guess who!”

“Taeyeon~ I know it’s you pabo-yah.” His hands dropped and I turned around quickly to see his pouting face.

“Aye~, you’re no fun.” I grinned and moved my hand under his chin, letting my thumb caress his protruding lip. Before I took my hand away though he kissed my thumb and I couldn’t contain my smile anymore. He was so adorable, and even more adorable since he thankfully dyed his hair back to a darker brown color.

 “Are you trying to seduce me with your eye smile Fany-ah?” I looked at him looking back at me questioningly.

“No,” I laughed. “Why, is it working?” He grinned and slid his arms around my waist.

“Maybe a little bit.” I hit his bottom before I tightened my embrace. “I do have a question though.” I leaned back so I could see him.

“What is it?”

“Do you get to take that little silver dress home?” I smirked. I knew he would say something about it.

“Nope I have to leave it… why do you want me to wear more clothes anyway?” He hummed.

“That’s a good point. You’re always wearing clothes… it’s kinda annoying.” I could only laugh.

I’m so glad he can joke like this now. I remember when he wouldn’t dare talk about this kind of stuff in public.

“Shut up and kiss me.” He did, but almost as soon as our lips touched my buzzkill manager yelled at us.

I was allowed to fire him right?

Probably not even a minute later Seohyun came out of the door.

“Omo! I gotta hi- Oh, it’s just Seohyun…,” he paused. He must have thought it was Sunny. “You brat! You weren’t supposed to tell her I was here,” he scolded teasingly.

“Oppa! How was I supposed to know?”

“You should have just read my mind or something,” he laughed.

“Oppa~.”

“I know, I know. I’m just kidding Seohyunie… but I should go back to my hiding position now before Sunkyu gets out here.” I pouted.

“I just got to see you though.” He kissed my cheek.

“We’ll get to spend the rest of the night together Fany-ah, our flight leaves at 1AM.” I looked at my phone; 10:07. Ugh!

That only gave us an hour or two!

“I’ll see you in a few minutes.”

I sighed and leaned against the wall.

This was so unfair!

I do get to see him though… I should be grateful.

Right!

Urgh… It was still unfair.

I yawned.

Oh no.

Do not be tired Tiffany! You have to stay up at least another hour with Taeyeon.

Damnit! I yawned again.

I’m going to have to find something to do to keep myself awake.

No Tiffany you can’t do that…Uhm, think!

Duh!

Wedding details.

Taeyeon and I can work on wedding details tonight!

We’ve yet to meet Jisook again, but my manager did relay the message that she found two places that were available for our date and that could hold the number of guests we had previously decided. I was excited, but also very worried. Other than the number of guests, we had absolutely nothing else decided. Hell we didn’t even have the guest list itself decided.

Wow, we really did need to see her again, and soon. I don’t know the exact amount of days until the big day like Taeyeon does, but I did know we had less than five months to get it all figured out.

That’s it! We would finalize the guest list tonight! I’ve made up my mind.

“Hey I’m going to see what’s taking them so long,” oppa said. “She won’t have enough time to film anything for WGM if she doesn’t hurry.” We laughed.

Omo. That reminds me…

“Seohyunie?”

“Ne unnie?”

“Do we need to invite CN BLUE to the wedding? Or would just Yonghwa be okay?”

Since Taeyeon and I both weren’t really close to any of the members we thought it might be weird. I was supposed to ask her a week ago, but I totally forgot. Whoops!

“You don’t have to invite either of them really,” she replied. I rolled my eyes. This girl…

“Seohyun, we know you’re dating him.” She opened to say something, probably a denial, but I spoke first. “Okay, if you aren’t dating, you two are … well, something. Just tell me if we should invite just him or his whole group. I won’t tell the others, I promise.”

I don’t know if she was embarrassed to be dating someone or if she-

“Yonghwa and I aren’t close anymore.”

Oh god. I didn’t even think about that option. I’m such an idiot.

“You two…you two broke up?” She nodded.

“You can say that.” Omo.

Good job Tiff!

“Seohyun-ah~ I’m so sorry!” I wrapped my arms quickly around the younger girl.

“It’s fine unnie. I’m okay, really.” When I looked at her again she really did look okay. I mean I didn’t even see her eyes watering up or anything!

I would be dying if something happened to Taeyeon and I.

I shuddered. I don’t even want to think about that, ani. I couldn’t even think about it!

I took another look at Seohyun’s face and hummed.

“Well then we don’t need to invite that jerk at all.” I watched her smile a little bit just before the door flung open.

“Yeah, yeah.  I know,” I heard Sunny snapping back at what I’m assuming is our manager.

“Good,” he replied. Yep! I was right! “Let’s just go.”

We walked in the direction that Taeyeon went, but nothing happened… what the hell guys? Hurry up and do this little surprise thing so I can be with Taeyeon!

We walked another ten feet before I heard a high pitched voice behind me.

“Ahh! Sunny-san I’m such a big fan of yours,” the person said in perfect Japanese. Oh god.

Good thing she was our second best Japanese speaker. We all turned around and… No freaking way.

“That was you?!” I saw Sooyoung laughing his off with a camera crew behind him. He nodded and I shook my head.

“I watched you guys all freeze up like a loose sasaeng fan had gotten in or something,” he teased. “Oh that was too good.”

“What are you doing here?!”

“I came to watch my wife on her first stop on tour, what else?” They both smiled at each other. “And now we’re going out for food. Let’s go,” he said with an extended hand.

“Wait, seriously?” He nodded and she looked at oppa.

“Yeah, just be back by midnight. Sooyoung’s flight leaves at one.”

We all yelled embarrassing things at her as she walked out with Sooyoung hand in hand, but I stopped once I saw Taeyeon pop out from around the hall that we passed. Yuri soon followed. I looked at Jess and she looked almost as happy as I was.

“Taeyeon I’m serious~,” I called out he continued to kiss the back of my neck. He chuckled.

“You’re too irresistible Fany-ah.” I sighed. “You should probably stop performing ‘Umbrella’ too before all the other guys in the world get urges to kiss you like I did.”

“That’s what we have security for babe… and well you need to resist… or I can go put a sweatshirt on.”

“No,” he quickly shouted. I grinned.

Teasing Taeyeon was seriously my favorite thing to do. It was just so fun. I never knew how he would react!

 “I will if you don’t pay attention Taeyeon. This is important!” He pulled me closer, which I don’t think I could actually get any closer without being on his lap. I was sitting in between his legs on the bed and he was leaned up against the head board, how much closer could I get?

“Okay babe I’m sorry. You have my full attention… just don’t take away my perfect view,” he said as he put his chin on my shoulder. I assumed he was talking about looking down the low cut shirt I had on, but I didn’t really mind it. Such a byuntae…

“Fine. If you get hands-y one more time though, I’m putting a sweatshirt on and moving over there,” I said as I pointed to the other side of the bed.

“I promise.” He kissed right in front of my ear. Oh my god.

“Kim Taeyeon! You literately just promised!” I heard him laughing.

“That was my lips Fany-ah, not my hands!” I exhaled sharply and started to get up.

“Ani, ani, ani! Please don’t move Tiffany,” he said quickly. “I haven’t seen you in weeks and I just miss you so much. I’m sorry.” Oh gosh, now I felt bad.

This was super important though! This was for our wedding, that we haven’t even started to plan! We haven’t even set a location yet! Thankfully we were meeting with our wedding planner just before we left for Paris next week.

“Now where were we?” Right! Back to the task at hand.

“We got done with the family part, now we have to decide which of our friends are invited.” I heard him hum. “Obviously both of our groups and everyone at SM.”

“Everyone?” I laughed once.

“Who did you want to leave out? Lee Sooman,” I teased.

“Aye you know that’s not what I mean Fany,” he laughed. “Like that new rookie group LSM is putting together and the trainees… and maybe Siwon…”

There it was. I should have known that’s where he was getting to.

“Babe,” I started. “We have to invite Siwon. We can’t just invite all the Super Junior Oppas except Siwon.” He sighed.

“I guess you’re right,” he sighed sadly as he rested his chin on my shoulder again. I hummed.

Moving an arm up to fluff his hair once I spoke again.

“Plus don’t you want him to see me up there telling you how much I love you?” I heard him softly chuckle.

“That’s a good point Fany-ah, I didn’t even think of that.” His arms tightened around me again as he snuggled in even more. Ah~ this feels so good.

Maybe we should do this another time and just cuddle.

No! You can’t think like that Tiffany.

Guest list first, and then cuddle.

“Okay now who else?” I heard him hum some more as I finished writing out all of our SM label mate’s group names. “Hold on,” I said quickly cutting him off. “Should we invite by person or by group?”

“Group.” Hmm, I think I would want my own invitation if I was invited to a wedding though. So I could keep it and remember it that way.

“Why?” He laughed.

“So we don’t have to send what is it now… like 11, 12 invitations to the same place when we could just address it ‘Super Junior.’”

Alright. He did bring up a great point.

“You’re right Tae. I’ll just mark the number beside the name of the groups.”

“Sounds good babe.” His arms squeezed around me briefly.

“Okay~,” I said as I finished writing everything out. “Who else?”

“IU!” Oh! Duh. She was the one that helped Taeyeon propose to me and one of his better friends outside of our groups.

“What’s her real name again?”

“Lee Jieun.”

“Okay, done! How about Sunye and the rest of the Wonder Girls?” I was trying to think of all my friends now. After SNSD and f(x) the list didn’t stretch that far.

“I don’t know them that well but sure,” he said happily. “They seemed really nice all the times I’ve talked to them.” I hummed and marked them down.

After around twenty more minutes we had added KARA, SISTAR, 4Minute, Jewelry and H2YO, along with a handful of actors and actresses and of course our favorite MCs and entertainers.

It’s not a real party without Shinyoung unnie anyway!

We were hesitant about inviting Hyomin though. Obviously Hyoyeon would be coming, I mean they’re cousins but Hyomin…

We figured that people would think something was up though so we just went ahead and invited him. Hopefully he just wouldn’t show up.

I looked down at the list and tried to think of anyone we missed.

“I think we’re done Taeyeon.”

“Jinjja?” I hummed. I mean sure there were a ton of groups we didn’t invite, but all of the ones we were friends with, we invited. We even invited 4Minute because Sooyoung and Hyuna were good friends and Jewelry because Sunny was close to Yewon. We also put down Im Yoona because apparently she and Yuri were back to being friends again? I don’t know, I don’t care.

He just better not screw anything up with Jessica, especially with that flirty interview with Yoo Inna-ssi the other day.

I will literately murder him.

“Do we have anything else to plan?”

“I don’t think so babe.”

If we did, I wasn’t aware of it at least. Jisook-ssi should be doing the rest for us.

“Are you sure?” I hummed.

“Yeah? Why? Is there something you-ah, oh god Taeyeon.”

His mouth was on my neck again in the most amazing way I could even think of. I leaned in to him and let his lips and his tongue press in to me even more.

“Tae…you know… we can’t do this.” The hand that was slowly moving up my chest froze.

“Why not?” I pushed his hand down.

No matter how much I miss us being together like this, we couldn’t. Not tonight.

“Jess, Yuri, my manager, and Seohyun are all in the room just outside, and you know I can’t control my volume…”

“Fany-ah,” he whined as he slid his hands up my thigh.

Oh god. My breath hitched.

“I’m sorry Taetae. The next time we’re alone, no matter where or when, we’ll continue this okay? I just can’t let Seohyun accidently hear us. That girl is as pure as well… something that’s super pure.” He whined again and I pouted. “Taeyeon~ don’t be mad at me.” I turned to look at him pouting too. His lips turned into a small grin.

“I’m not mad Fany-ah, you’re too super cute to be mad at,” he said as he pulled me in his lap. “I’m just sad that I can’t make you mine tonight,” he said seductively and kissed my shoulder. Oh goodness.

“I’m always your Taeyeon-ah,” I said as I brought my lips closer to his. He grinned.

“You know what I mean Fany-ah.” I giggled.

I definitely did.

“When we live together we can be together every night.”

“Mmm,” he hummed. “I can’t wait. It will be the best thing in the world to wake up to you every morning.”

“Oh yeah?” He grinned.

“Yep! I’m kissing you right when we wake up every day, so I hope you’re okay with that.” I laughed.

“And what if I’m not?” He scrunched up his nose at me and put on a ‘mean’ face.

“Then I’ll steal them anyway!” I laughed and shook my head.

_________________________________________________________

“Thanks Taengo,” Sooyoung said as he hopped out of my car.

“Yeah! Thanks. We’ll see ya when you get back.”

“Okay, tell Tiffany to hurry!”

“Ne, we will,” he laughed.

I was in the parking garage at SNSD’s dorm, yet again. This time it was even earlier in the morning than last time though.

Tiffany and I had a meeting with Jisook-ssi, our wedding planner, today. We were excited for it too because we’d be seeing the two locations that we had to choose from. I just hope she likes one of them!

Yuri and Sooyoung however came to hang out with the SNSD girls before we left tomorrow for Paris. Sooyoung was especially easy to wake up this morning too due to Sunny’s incident yesterday.

Sunny was rushed to the hospital during their concert. Apparently she fainted from over exhaustion or over working, crap I can’t remember now. Either way our little Sunkyu fainted and was taken to a hospital.

The thing that really shocked me was that she left the hospital and was able to get back in time for their encore stage

Gah she really was a trooper.

After a few more minutes I finally saw Fany getting out of the elevator. She quickly scurried to me and snuggled right in my arms.

“Ah~ it’s cold!” I chuckled.

“I told you to wear a jacket babe.”

For some reason it had been especially cold these past few days in Seoul. It didn’t really bother me, but it was strange. I mean its June; it should at least be warm. I think tomorrow it was supposed to start warming up though.

“I thought you were telling me that just because you always do,” she said into my chest.

“Yah~! Well maybe you should start listening to me.” She fake punched my tummy and I laughed. “Arasso, get in, I’ll turn on the heated seats.”

We followed the GPS to the first location, which was a hotel not that far from where she lived.

It looked really nice on the outside though, let’s just hope the inside is up to par…

We met Jisook-ssi in the lobby and Tiffany was practically bouncing.

“Ah, it’s so good to see you again.”

“Ne, how have you two been?”

“Very busy,” I responded. “Tiffany actually just got back from Japan late last night and we’re flying to Paris tomorrow.” I saw her eyes widen

“Wow, that is a pretty full schedule.” I chuckled.

If she only knew…

“Now, if you follow me I’ll show you the areas available here.” We both agreed and quickly followed behind her.

I felt Tiffany’s hand slip in to mine and the worries that filled my head all melted away.

I wasn’t TYS’s Kim Taeyeon right now, I was Tiffany’s Taetae and nothing mattered besides being here with her.

Not the Paris tour or our first ever tour that started in a month or so. It was just Tiffany.

Jisook-ssi brought us first to a good sized room and then started explaining things.

“Since you wanted to do a truly Western style wedding, we would have to rent two rooms. One for the actual ceremony and then another for the reception, luckily this location has two rooms available.” I nodded.

I was still a little iffy about this American style wedding, simply because I’ve never actually been to one. I mean I’ve only been to a few weddings in general, and those were years and years ago. If Tiffany wanted it this way though, it would happen.

“First let me say this, the only problem with this location however is that the room can only hold about 175 chairs.”

“Aniyo, actually that’s even better. We wrote out a full list and could only come up with about 150 people anyway and I doubt all of them will come.”

“Ah, well then that’s perfect,” she cheered.

Then she started going into even more detail about how she was thinking of decorating.

The walls of the room were already white, so that did go with the colors that Tiffany had already picked out; white and literately every shade of pink known to man.

She went on and on about how she could accent this wall with a see through pink curtain and how each aisle of chairs would have its own flower bouquet and just so many other things I couldn’t focus on.

The look on Tiffany’s face was just so beautiful. Her eyes were wide and full of excitement, almost as wide as her perfect little grin. This was the main reason I wanted to let Tiffany decide everything for the wedding.

I knew she wanted a big wedding, she didn’t ever have to say it, but I knew. She loved that kind of stuff, anything romantic that is. The movies, the cheesiness that I always give her, the dressing up and getting all fancy… That was Tiffany. She was the biggest girly girl I’ve ever met.

I wouldn’t have it any other way either. I loved it. With her being like she is, it always made me feel like I had to protect her even more so than I would have if it were anyone else, it made me feel even more needed. Ah~, and that was a good feeling.

I guess what the place looked like didn’t really matter to me anyway.

It’s not that I didn’t care, I mean it was just that we could get married in some shack in the middle of nowhere and I’d be perfectly happy.

For Tiffany though I would try my best to help her make all the decisions we needed to, together.

“Tae, what do you think?”

“I think it looks great babe, what about you?” She smiled.

“I totally love it.” I kissed her forehead.

“We still have to look at the other place too ya know.”

“I know~, I’m just saying that this is my favorite so far.” I laughed.

“It’s the only place so far!” She stuck out her tongue at me and ran off to catch up to Jisook-ssi.

I really didn’t know where she got off on calling me a child…

The next room she showed us was even bigger than the last.

“This would be where the reception would be held.” I nodded like I knew what she was talking about, but Tiffany saw right through my façade.

“You know like where everyone eats and dances and they give the speeches and stuff like that Taetae.”

“Ahh! Okay. I got it!”

I’ve unfortunately been forced to watch my fair share of romance movies in the past year and a half, so I did know what she was referring to now.

Instead of the ceremony and the eating and the well… everything being thrown in all at once like they did in a more Korean style wedding, everything was separate.

Instead of the guests eating while they watched the ceremony, in an American wedding everyone simply just watched the ceremony. Only afterward they go to the reception and eat.

An America style wedding was also way longer than a Korean wedding. I’m not kidding when I say that a whole Korean wedding could be fit in to a single hour, whereas the American wedding we were planning would take multiple hours.

____________________________________________________________

“Ah~,” she squealed from beside me. “I can’t believe we have a location!”

After seeing the second place, we decided that we liked the first one better. The second one was nice don’t get me wrong, but the first one just seemed right. I guess after all the describing Jisook did of how she was thinking of decorating really stuck in my head, for as soon as we even walked in to the second room I had made my decision.

“I know babe, I’m so excited.”

Within the next few minutes we had made it to her dorm. We walked inside and saw Sooyoung and Sunny playing video games in the living room.

“Sunny~! I’m back.” I watched the girl look excitedly in our direction. She threw down the controller immediately and hopped up.

“Tell me everything! What did it look like? What’d the lady say?”

“Sunny~,” I heard Soo whine from the other room. “You can’t leave in the middle of a game pabo-yah!”

“Shut up Sooyoungie, I’m trying to listen.”

For the next twenty minutes or so I listened to Tiffany explain in full detail to Sunny almost everything that had happened earlier today. Manager Hwang was seriously no joke... I don’t think she left a single thing out. She did that while I filled in for Sunny on the game, in which I was totally killing Soo! Mwuahaha!

“Tae?” I hummed. “Come help me pack for tomorrow.” I whined.

“But Fany~ I’m in the middle of a big game!” I heard her sigh.

“Please~?”

Oh gosh, who am I kidding? Resisting Fany was the hardest thing to do in my life.

“Arasso~.” I watched her eye smile blossom.

Yep, I definitely made the right choice.

“You can’t bring that,” I said just minutes later.

I laid down on her bed as soon as I got in her room and watched her get out a good sized suitcase. She then went straight to her closet.

She was now holding up a pair of very, very short jean shorts.

“And why not?”

“We’ve gone over this a zillion times babe.” She scrunched up her nose at me.

“Whatever, I’m bringing them.” I laughed and laid back down on her bed.

“If you weren’t going to listen to my advice why did you need me to help you pack?”

“I don’t know. It’s fun!” I laughed again and shook my head. “How about this? It’s new!” I hummed and took a glance at it.

“Ah~ now that I approve of.” It was a flowery skirt. It was short, but not too short.

“Jinjja?” I nodded. “I bought these to match too!” I smiled.

“It looks good Fany. You have to wear that when we go out!” Her smile was big as she continued to pack the outfit she just showed me as well as a few other things.

I returned to my horizontal position on her bed and pulled out my phone. I’ll just find a game or something to play while I ‘help’ her pack.

“Should I bring this,” she asked five or so minutes later, right when I was in the middle of a freaking level too!

Ugh. I took a quick glance and-

Oh my god…

“Ow~!”

“Omo, Tae, are you okay?” I felt the bed dip in beside me and a soft hand caress my face. I nodded.

Oh yeah. I was good.

I hummed.

“Are you sure,” she laughed. “I saw the phone hit you right in the nose.”

“Well you can’t just spring stuff like that on me!” She laughed even more.

“So~, should I bring it?”

I took another look at the tiny, sheer black piece of cloth that was supposed to be a shirt.

“You have to bring it.”

I mean Paris is the city of love, right?

“You know,” she grinned. “I’m not even sure if it fits anymore…” I quickly caught on this time.

“Well then you better-“

The door flew open.

“Damnit,” I said quietly as Tiffany did her best to hide the lingerie.

“What is it Jess, I’m a little busy here…”

“I kissed him.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa… You kissed who,” I asked

“Yuri.” Holy crap! I knew it!

I knew they would happen eventually.

Oh crap. How long has it been? Did I win the bet?

Damnit! I think I lost it. Aish, there goes a hundred dollars…

“Wah~! Jess! How was it?”

“Yeah, where’s Yul at,” I asked. Now I could finally back.

“We-we got photographed.”
