“Babe~ I’m so tired though,” Tiffany complained from the bed in her hotel room.

We had just got here not thirty minutes ago and my baby was already tired. Psht, and I thought she would be the bouncing off the walls to go look around the city.

It was only around 3:30PM here, but due to the long flight and all the time zone changes, I think it was almost 11PM back home. So yeah, I understood why she was tired, but I wanted to go look around…especially since we were still allowed.

Because of Yuri and Jessica’s relationship being forced out in to the public, they weren’t allowed to be seen together yet, which I thought was odd, but whatever. I guess they’re waiting to see what the fans’ reactions were?

Both of our groups had to stay away with each other for now, besides Tiffany and I obviously. We were for some reason given a free pass.

I figured it was probably so SM could ride off our popularity as a couple, but I wasn’t going to complain. I mean I was in Paris, France with my fiancé!

I couldn’t be happier.

“Taeyeon please~. Can’t you just stay and nap with me,” she asked cutely. I grinned and quickly moved beside her on the bed. Her giggles filled the room when I started placing quick little kisses all over her head.

“See~ just like that.” I laughed. Gosh, she was such a brat.

“But I want to go out and look at things~!”

“We’ll have all week!”

She was right since we weren’t going back to Seoul directly after the concerts. That’s right! Tiffany and I were staying in Paris, alone, for a few days afterward.

I remember I jokingly asked Lee Sooman one day if we, as in TYS, could stay in Paris longer than we were scheduled to. I wasn’t even thinking about staying with Tiffany, or even my members really. It was honestly a joke. When I was informed that we actually could stay though I couldn’t believe it!

We now had a tiny three day vacation. Wah~! I was so excited. We were even going to stay in the same hotel room, secretly of course. Just to be safe though, I booked us a room in a totally separate hotel from the one we’re staying in with SMTOWN. Just in case!

“Please Fany-ah,” I begged. I put on the biggest puppy dog look I could muster up and looked right at her. She sighed.

“Don’t give me that look,” she said as she covered my mouth with her hand. I laughed.

“Please~ I’ll buy you something yummy!” She pouted.

“Will you buy me something pretty too?” I laughed even harder.

“Yes baby, I’ll buy you whatever you want,” I said before kissing her again. She sighed.

“Fine.” Woo, I internally cheered. She got up from the bed and stopped. “Let me change first.”

“What? No! You look fine. Let’s just go,” I said as I hopped up beside her. She looked at me with a confused expression.

“Taeyeon, I just rode on a plane for 12 hours…”

“And you still look great,” I smiled. “How is that even possible?” She gave me a tired took. “I’m serious, you look beautiful Hwang Miyoung,” I said as I cupped her cheeks. She grinned.

“Really?” I nodded. “So I don’t have to change? Or do anything?” I laughed.

“Of course not. I just want to walk around with you.”

“Okay, well if people start staring at me because I look gross, I’m blaming you.”

“Alright,” I laughed. They might stare, but definitely not because she was gross.

She had a cheetah or leopard or whatever animal that was printed dress on and a long gray cardigan. Her hair was down and she didn’t have any make up on and just…Wah~! She was so beautiful, just like always.

Thankfully within the next ten minutes, and after getting our managers’ permission, we were in the lobby of our hotel.

“Where should we even go?”

“I don’t know,” Tiffany responded. “I’m sure the counter has a map or something.”

“Ooh, you’re right!” We headed to the counter and the sudden realization hit me. “Fany, we don’t speak French.” She chuckled and took my hand.

“Everyone knows English Taetae.” Oh, right. Duh~!

We stepped to the counter and Tiffany began speaking. She asked for a map and what attractions were the closest I think. What the man behind the counter said however was a mystery. I knew he was speaking English, but with his heavy French accent it was hard for me to get all the words he was saying.

Within a few minutes however, the conversation ended. We began to walk away and I immediately asked what he said.

“He said the famous Arch thing was the closest and then some cathedral. Then mixed all in were a bunch of little shops and cafes and everything.” I hummed.

“Well, where do you want to go? Since I dragged you out you get to pick!”

“I don’t want to go anywhere important.” I laughed. “What? I want to look good in the pictures that we take there so we can’t go anywhere important.”

“Fine,” I sighed. “We can just walk around then.”

“And eat.”

“And eat,” I repeated.

“And shop!” I laughed.

__________________________________________________________________

We had just left the first shop and I couldn’t be happier. No, not because I found something pretty for Taeyeon to buy me, but because the two of us were walking around alone! Okay, not technically alone.

There was a small group of teenagers following us around. I think they spotted us once we left the hotel, but I’m not really sure. They weren’t being annoying or anything though, thankfully.

However they were taking our picture almost every chance they got. They even followed us in to the shop!

I didn’t mind them, but I just wished they weren’t there. I think Taeyeon was holding back on his kisses and cute gestures toward me too because he was probably afraid of being photographed and then scolded or something. Ugh, I’m just glad that he stayed beside me the whole time holding my hand, my waist, or shoulder. Ahh~, I loved this.

The next few shops we passed didn’t look very interesting to me so I just kept walking. Taeyeon however spotted one of his liking.

“Fany-ah, it’s a candy store.” I grinned.

“Wanna go in?” He looked at me with his eyes wide open.

“Can we?” I nodded. I knew he loved candy and it was so cute to see him like this. So I knew we had to go inside.

We walked to the door, where he then held it open for me. I thanked him and took a step inside and…

Oh my god.

This place was no joke.

There were bins of candy literately lining one whole wall of the shop. The rest of the place was filled with tables full of other goodies; mostly it looked like various forms of chocolate.

I heard Taeyeon gasp when he finally stepped up to my side.

“I’m buying all of it.”

“Yah~ no you aren’t,” I laughed.

“Well then I’m buying a bunch,” he replied before pecking my lips. “Now, how do we do this?”

I didn’t really know either so I decided to just go ask the girl at the counter, Taeyeon in tow.

“Excuse me,” I started in English. “How does this work?”

The blonde flashed me a quick smile before giving her best attempt of directions in English. I nodded and often repeated things to clarify, but soon I think I got the point.

“Okay, merci,” I replied. That was about the only French I knew, besides the obvious, hello and various other small greetings.

We walked back to the wall and I swear I could almost hear Taeyeon’s heart pounding he was so anxious.

“How do we do it?”

“Jeesh, give me a second pabo-yah,” I teased. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer.

“I’m sorry, I’m just so excited.” I felt his lips on the side of my face just as I saw what I was looking for.

“Ahha! Okay,” I said as I stepped closer to the candy wall. “You take these little bags and fill them with whatever.”

“Whatever?” I hummed. “So we can mismatch?”

“Mhm, I think she said that the price was by weight.”

“Ahh, thank you Fany-ah,” he said while taking the bag I handed to him.

“Hmm,” I pondered. “Should I get one too?”

“Of course babe, get all that you want!” I smiled. “Oh my god there’s a gummy section.” Taeyeon started to move around excitedly, it was almost like a dance really. I couldn’t help but crack up. Even the girl behind the counter started to laugh.

Oh goodness… That is Taeyeon though. I grabbed a bag for myself and took a few steps toward Taeyeon, who had already started to fill his up.

He was right though. They had gummy candy in like every shape you could think of; sharks, bears, worms, fish, almost every kind of fruit, and the weirdest one I thought, eggs.

Not just the oval kind of shape, which I’m sure they had too, but a fried egg.

I’m not kidding. It was so strange.

I put my hand on Taeyeon’s back in hopes to get him to stop dancing, or whatever he was doing and it worked.

“What’s wrong?” I shook my head.

“Nothing, people are just staring,” I laughed. He shrugged.

“Oh well… Wait are you embarrassed?” I quickly shook my head.

“Why would I be embarrassed Taeyeon,” I asked with a smile. “You’re the most adorable guy in the world.” He smiled cutely.

“Well you’re the most adorable girl in the world,” he said back as he shyly looked away. “Omo! Fany-ah, you haven’t even started to fill your bag.” I laughed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do it!”

Finally after about twenty more minutes we left the shop with a large bag in hand.

Besides the two very full bags of candy, mostly gummies, Taeyeon picked out a bunch of chocolate candy as well. He said most of it was for his family, but he also got some for s and managers.

“Ooh try this babe, they’re yummy.” He held up a blue and white gummy shark.

“They better be, you got a ton of them,” I teased before letting him feed me the shark. He laughed.

“What? They looked the coolest!” I shook my head and continued to eat it. “It’s good, right?”

“Mmhmm, very yummy,” I agreed. “Wah, this place is so pretty,” I marveled.

Everything looked straight out of a movie. Cute little shops lined the street along with a café every now and then and-

“Tiffany! Taeyeon!”

Oh no, the fans have finally started to talk to us. Taeyeon halted and immediately turned around. I followed suit to see that the little group had grown into a group of about eight or nine. Oh lord, what did they do? Tweet our location?

Actually that’s probably exactly what they did. Aish, and I thought we’d be able to sneak around a little. I mean we weren’t even at any of the big tourist spots. Hell I didn’t even know where we were…

I took a deep breath.

“Hi~,” I greeted the incoming crowd. Some of them looked to be Korean, but I could tell that a few were definitely not.

Taeyeon then quickly took a step closer to me, putting his hand on my waist. My smile grew at least ten times

Ah~! My personal body guard.

“Tiffany! You know, I wore pink just for you,” one of the girls said to me in English.

“Oh thank you,” I replied quickly. “That is my favorite color~.” The girl laughed and then asked me to sign something for her. I noticed Taeyeon’s hand leave my side when another girl asked him a question, also in English. I had to take a second to watch him.

I don’t know what it was, maybe I loved him too much, but there were sometimes when I just had to take a moment. He made me so happy that I couldn’t stop smiling even if someone told me too. Ah~!

To anyone else this scene would look like some cute Korean boy trying his best to utter a few English words, but to me it was something totally different.

Whenever I heard him utter his cute yet broken English I couldn’t help but get little butterflies, especially when I could tell that he had been practicing.

Taeyeon had been taking extra English lessons for a while now. He never told me, I guess he wanted to keep it a surprise or something, but Sunny ruined that. Sooyoung told her and then she told me.

Sorry Taetae!

It was why he took the lessons that made me so happy and warm inside though. Wah~!

It was all for me.

He wanted me to be able to speak comfortably with him in my native language and I just loved him so much more for that. Gah, he was really so good to me. I really couldn’t screw this up. Ever!

“Thank you, thank you,” he said back to the new girl in front of him. She asked him for an autograph and his eyes went wide. Oh gosh. I laughed a little until he spoke up again.

“Uh, sign,” he asked very unsurely. The girl laughed and then nodded. I saw him let out a deep breath. “OK, what is yar name,” he asked, not quite getting the accent right. Ugh! It was so cute though!

Aigo~! I would have kissed him right then and there if there weren’t so many people with us.

“You two are so cute,” the girl in front of me commented, bringing me back to what I was doing.

“Oh, uh thank you,” I laughed. “What was your name again?” She told me her name and I quickly signed the CD she held.

We both continued to sign and take pictures with the kids that had been following us around for a while, but then I noticed a lot of people staring. I even heard someone ask who we were.

The boy responded with ‘they’re famous Korean singers’.

“Can you sign this,” another girl asked in a very thick french accent.

“I sure can.” I took the picture of SNSD and quickly signed it. “Taeyeon-ah, we should probably go,” I said through my teeth.

“Wae?” I nodded to the crowd forming around us and he kicked into action.

“OK! Last picture,” he said over the crowd. A few of them aww’d. “We have to geet going. Uh Parlis is verly big.” I laughed.

“What he means is that we can’t stay in one place too long,” I grinned. “We have to see many more things!”

“Tiffany, are you two seeing the Eiffel Tower?” A few of the other people ‘ooh’d.

“Yes we will,” I smiled. “Not today, but hopefully soon!”

We took the picture and finally left. We waved back a few times but soon we were focused on heading away from the small crowd that gathered.

“Do you think all those people knew who we were?”

“I don’t think so Taetae.” I heard him whine. “Aye~ I think a bunch of them did though. The others probably came to us just because everyone else was around us, ya know?” He hummed.

“That’s a good point.” I hummed.

“Your English is getting better you know.”

“Really,” he asked loudly in English with a slight accent. I laughed.

“Yes really!” I let go of his hand and wrapped my arm in his.

It would have been too if we didn’t have so many other things to do as well. Not only were we preparing for all of our other performances, we had our duet that we haven’t sung in forever… along with the added pressure of us being recorded the whole time, it was crazy.

I don’t mean by just the fans either.

MBC was here and they were recording our whole concert to broadcast in Korea later on. Not just the performances though, they were backstage as well, even pulling us into interviews and asking us questions! Ahh~!

Since TYS was the ‘baby’ of the company, we also had to perform first. It was so nerve-wracking! I didn’t even get to see Tiffany before we went on!

We started off with ‘Beautiful Stranger’ and then went directly into the talk portion where we introduced ourselves and spoke to the crowd a bit. After that was over we performed two of our other songs and then the lights dropped.

This was a newly added feature to the concert… Since f(x) performed right after us, they were using our song that we did with Krystal and Luna as the bridge, if you will, between artists.

Yuri left the stage and the two girls came on right before the music started.

The crowd loved it! This was the first tour stop we did this at too, so I guess it was pretty new! They especially loved Sooyoung’s rap part. It was intense.

After that f(x) continued to perform and then it was SHINee’s turn, with a video separating their acts.

There was another video on right now and I was waiting for Tiffany to get to the stage. One of the Super Junior subunits were on next and our duet was after that.

Ugh, she was taking forever.

“Hyung, I’m going to look for Fany.”

“Hurry back,” he called before I was on my way. I didn’t have to go that far either. I went down a few different hall ways, but eventually ran into her.

“I found ya!”

“I was on my way pabo,” she grinned. “I had to change. I couldn’t go out there in my ‘RDR’ outfit and sing a cute song, especially with you looking like that Mr. Handsome~.” I could feel my face light up.

I was wearing a more casual tuxedo and Tiffany was wearing a small white dress that showed an awful large amount of skin. I wouldn’t complain too much though because she looked amazing.

I really couldn’t take my eyes off of her.

“Aye,” I said finally. “You look fantastic baby.” Her eyes turned into perfect crescents and my heart skipped a beat. Gah… That still gets me every time.

I took her hand in mine and quickly led us to where the stage was. That was where I saw something that I think I would never un-see…

Four Super Junior members, including Shindong, in very short and very tight black dresses. They even had on wigs. Oh goodness.

Tiffany started laughing and I soon followed suit. It was pretty hilarious.

I saw a camera, that I’m assuming was from MBC then point in our direction, quickly leaving whoever they were filming behind.

The two of us bowed and greeted it and then I noticed who the camera must have been focusing on before…

Choi Siwon.

Ugh, and we were being filmed so now I couldn’t even give him dirty look back.

“Taeyeon, Tiffany, what do you think of all this,” they asked as they then motioned toward the boys in dresses.

“They’re very pretty,” I laughed.

“Prettier than Tiffany?”

Oh come on~.

“Aye~, I couldn’t even name one person that was prettier than Tiffany, let alone four.”

“Aww, thank you Taeyeon-ah~,” Tiffany said back cutely as she grabbed my hand.

“You do look good Tiffany.”

Oh jesus, don’t tell me that was…

Yep. It was.

Siwon.

I took a deep breath.

UGH! Who does he think he is to say something like that anyway?! Oh and how he said ‘you do look good’. Ugh...

I could have punched him right in the throat.

Usually if someone were to compliment or even try to flirt with Tiffany, I wouldn’t get that mad about it. I know I usually pretend to be jealous or angry, but it was all an act.

Okay maybe it wasn’t all an act, I mean I didn’t like when guys tried to hit on her at all. I actually hated it a lot, but I was confident.

Not confident as in ‘oh~ I’m way better than you,’ but confident in how deep Tiffany’s love for me was. I trusted her with my whole existence. I knew that if some random guy or a random idol said that she was their ideal type or even tried to make a move it wouldn’t mean anything to her.

For one, it was just that; random. They didn’t actually know Tiffany. They only liked her because she was beautiful and could sing well. They didn’t know the cute little grin she wore after I tell her I love her and they definitely didn’t know that Tiffany was an even bigger byuntae than me, and my nickname is ‘Byuntaeyeon.’ No one knew her as well as I did. I don’t even think her members did honestly.

That’s why I felt so strongly against Siwon I think. They were friends. Actually they used to be really good friends from what I remember seeing in the past. That’s why it bugged me so much.

As her friend shouldn’t he be happy and supporting her in her relationship, not trying to date her himself. I mean if he wanted to date Tiffany, why didn’t he try to do so in all the years I wasn’t even around?

“Thank you Siwon-ssi,” Tiffany said very professionally back to him, with no hint of interest whatsoever.

That brought up my second point.

Tiffany could definitely take care of herself; I mean she’s been turning guys away for years. So sometimes I let her chase the guy away herself. Not all the time of course, I mean I had to stand up for my woman! Not only did I have to, I wanted to as well. I loved the feeling of protecting my cute little precious Fany-ah. Making a point to tell whatever guy that thinks my fiancé is beautiful that she was mine made me feel so good.

“I mean it Tiff, you look fantastic,” that jackass replied. Seriously?

That was it.

“She knows,” I commented flatly, wrapping an arm around her waist. “I tell her that all~ the time, right Fany-ah?” I smiled and looked right at her. The eyes that I fell for at first sight were imitating the crescent moon and her beautiful smile was widening by the second.

Gah, no wonder people fell for her so easily.

“Mmhm,” she hummed. “At least twenty times a day.” I laughed.

“It’d be even more, but I don’t want her to get tired of hearing it,” I said to the camera.

The person holding the camera laughed and then asked Tiffany what the two of us were doing all dressed up like this, thankfully moving past the awkward moment with Siwon...

“Ahh, well that’s a secret right now.”

“Ne,” I agreed. “It’s a surprise to all the fans!”

“Taeyeon-ssi, we need you over here,” a crew member called. Aw~ man! I didn’t want to leave her here with Siwon.

“Okay,” I called back sadly. Quickly, I pulled Tiffany into a short hug. I didn’t want to kiss her due to the camera being there, but a hug was okay right?

I thought so at least. The next thought I had, was definitely not right though. I swore I heard Fany say ‘kiss me’ as I pulled out of the hug.

I gave her a questioning look, but then she just smirked. Oh god she really wanted me to…

I looked at the camera and then back at her. She did realize that all of Korea would be able to watch this very soon, hell probably even the whole world! Her eyebrows rose.

Omo.

I looked at the camera again and then noticed Siwon still staring at both of us.

Alright, I had to now… but how?

 It only took a few seconds before a great idea popped in my head. Ah, this would be so good.

Taeyeon you can do this.

On the count of three. One, two, three!

I swiftly put one of my hands over the camera’s lens, while my other hand moved behind her neck and pulled her in toward me, where our lips met briefly.

I wasn’t going to hold the kiss long, until she bit my lip Aish! This girl really wants us to be seen!

She makes sure all the other SNSD members always show a good image, but never does so with herself! What a weirdo!

I pulled away from her, just before I moved my hand away from the camera. I’m sure fans knew what we did anyway due to the ‘ooh’s from people around, as well as the loud kissing noise Fany made.

I really didn’t know what to do with her.

After I told her good luck, I was almost dragged away by Hanyoung hyung to the other side of the stage, where I was supposed to be entering from.

The SuJu subunit was soon over and I was very excited to perform this. Since they took out Jessica and I’s duet for ‘Nagging’ for our Paris concerts I originally wasn’t even supposed to have a duet, but surprise! I even got to perform with Tiffany!

The music started and the crowd went as loud as I’ve heard it all night. Oh my god.

“Everything feels so right when I’m with you, Taeyeon-ah~,” Tiffany spoke during the first few notes.

“Ahh~,” I sounded. She was so adorable, especially when she was doing all the little gestures and expressions while singing it. When she held up her engagement ring for the ‘couple ring’ line the crowd went crazy again. I just laughed and took a deep breath.

I was almost on.

The crowd cheered more when I stepped on the stage, but what really did it was when I took Tiffany’s hand and walked down the platform to where the stage in the middle of the floor was.

Actually those times don’t even compare to the screams we got when Tiffany did something totally outrageous…

Where I usually move in closer to act like I’m going to kiss her, but never do... She did.

Actually she did it so quick and shockingly that I almost forgot to keep singing. Thankfully I only had the rest of one word to sing before it was Tiffany’s turn.

I thought she might have been a little sidetracked from doing that, but nope! She was just fine. She continued singing with the biggest smile on her face like nothing happened at all.
