For the next days, Taeyeon and Tiffany were back to exchanging notes like texting each other wasn't enough. They tried their best to concentrate and do well on their exams but really what they wanted was to get it over with and go through their plan of having the long-awaited ice cream they promised each other, or more like Taeyeon making Tiffany promise.   From: Dookong   To: Totoro   Hi! Are your exams done? How was it?   From: Totoro   To: Dookong   Yup! Finally!! It was okay I guess. Hope I passed though. How about you?   From: Dookong   To: Totoro   Yes! I am done as well. I am so glad it is all over. Because you know.... :p   From: Totoro   To: Dookong   Because what?   From: Dookong   To: Totoro   Because...it means that you'll buy me ice cream! :p   From: Totoro   To: Dookong   Oh geez. You ice cream freak! Didn't I just bought you one though?   From: Dookong    To: Totoro   But :(    From: Totoro   To: Dookong   Fine! I'll buy you another one lol :p   "Such a dork." Tiffany muttered as she was smiling widely at her phone. For the past few days, she was glad that their exams and Taeyeon helped her distract herself from thinking about the holidays. Whenever she is reminded by it, she can't help,but feel lonely, empty. Then, came Taeyeon. It is as if the other girl is always right on cue, texting or calling her right on time.   Taeyeon makes her feel like she finally found someone...someone that would take her out of the pit of hurt and darkness. It is not that Jessica and Yuri weren't able to help her out, but it just felt so different with Taeyeon.    Tiffany sighed as she entered her empty dorm, dragged herself to her room and let herself fall on her bed, holding tight on her phone, letting her mind wander off.   ———————————————   Taeyeon, herself, is letting her mind wander off, all she is thinking about is Tiffany. "Tiffany. Tiffany. Tiffany." She is sitting at the couch inside her office staring blankly with a weird smile painted on her face.   After a few moments, she took her phone from the table and started to dial a number.   "Buddy!!!" Taeyeon excitedly said as soon as she heard her call was answered.   "Whoah. Taengoo! Aren't you too excited? You missed me that much huh?"    "Whatever, Yul! I bet you're the one who misses me more." Taeyeon answered back, laughing as well.   "Well, well. It's been a while since I last heard you that cheerful. May I know why?"   "Ice cream!!!"   "What? Ice cream???"   "Yes. Ice cream. I'm gonna have ice cream soon!" Taeyeon answered like a little kid which earned her laughters from her best friend.   "Okay, Taengoo. You are way too weird. Haha"   "Yeah yeah Yul. You're just jealous."   "Of what? Your ice cream? Never!"   "Haha. Well, I don't know why but I feel a bit happier today."   "That's something new. Why is that?"   "I... I don't know actually..."   "Hey. Don't lie to me."   "I'm not!"   "If you say so. But, I'm just glad that you're able to have a reason to laugh and be happy like that. And you know that I mean it." Yuri said, seriously this time as she wants to let Taeyeon know that she means it.   "Thanks..." Then there was a short pause before Taeyeon started talking again, "Yul, how did...h-how did you know that you like Jessica?"   "Like? I love her, Taengoo. Not just like. It is more than that. To be honest, I don't know either. It just, it just happened. There is no reason or anything why. I love her because she is her. Wait, why are you asking? Do you like someone huh? Are you in l
