Jessica’s POV

As I stepped outside apartment building, I was greeted by the bright Seoul sky,

Sadly it doesn’t speak the same with inside my heart at the exact moment.

My eyes are already longing for figure that I had to let go,

not more than 5 minutes ago.

Even tears started to build up when elevator’s door close, but I manage to hold it in,

And when a ding sound heard, I finally came to my senses and went inside my car.

Soojung has been waiting for almost an hour now, since I took that long to finish packing and saying goodbye to members and taeyeon.

“finally, it’s about darn time you came out, unnie,” soojung said as she looking up from her phone, while I open the door,

She moves from her seat, so I can sit to where her last spot was.

“language soojung,” I said as I close the door.

“sorry,” she said casually as she absorb with her phone again, searching through Polyvore and tumblr, geez this kid.

“do you have your passport?,” I asked as I took out my own phone,

“yes, it’s on my bag,” she answered without looking away from screen.

“you do realize if I wasn’t on your phone screen, right, soojung?,” I asked with an eyebrow raised and my serious-but-playful tone,

“yes I do,” still not taking a glance at me.

As I exhaled, calm down jung sooyeon, this is only the beginning, as I told myself I finally defeat and searching through her bag on my own. After checking her passport, I’m checking mine. When I’m sure she has hers and I have mine, I’m trying to remember things that we should bring there but then there is a new window chat. It’s from Taeyeon, I don’t want to read it before I step on the plane but then curiosity kills me, screw this.

Members are mocking me for moping around,

I don’t though, god knows I don’t.

 it’s just I don’t have energy left in me.

They want me to go outside and go shopping with them,

but I don’t wanna. can you save me..

can you save me.. – kty

A small smile plastered on my face, but then my phone buzzed again before I had a chance to reply,

I was singing infinite’s back on the last part, did you realized it?

Dorawajwo, I want you back back back back

/aggressively moving my thumbs/

you get the idea – kty

And I let my small giggling out.

It’s barely 10 miles away and she already makes this hard, and I decide to reply it later when I was already on the other side of the world, san fransisco. I’m afraid if I’d lose my senses again and going back to her arms, and forget about what am I supposed to do.

Maybe it’s already a hundredth time for me to sigh and pinching my bridge nose,

And when I’m about to get some sleep before jump in on the plane, my phone buzzed again,

and now when I finally want to go out, members are preventing me.

they are afraid if I would run to the airport and begging you to stay,

or maybe I’ll stuff myself on your luggage.

These girls, they were asking me to go out before,

but then sunkyu catches me saying to myself, when is your plane gonna take off,

 now they don’t want me to go out.

Sigh, what should I do now – kty.

This one makes me giggling, soojung throws her strange look at me,

I just shrugged it off as it was nothing.

In spite to reply her message, I typed sunny’s name and start private chat,

Make sure she won’t go after me, thanks lee sunny <3

Not a second later, I have 2 new chats from 2 different people,

I don’t know,

she is a lot to handle you know

even if she is a midget

that was from sunny, I scoffed a little, look who’s talking,

I’ll bring you something nice on my way back,

 just keep her save, and sunny,

you are midget-er than her, thanks Xx

Even before I read her message, another chat comes,

2 messages from ktyY,

You had time to chat sunkyu but not answering mine?

You meannie : ( - kty

Thanks for defending me though,

 but you are still mean : (

don’t just read it! Answer it! - kty

And another 2 chats come up before I had a chance to reply hers,

It’s worth more than that, you know how strong taeyeon is

Within second I answered it,

But you are the strongest between 9 of us though,

you’ll figure it out.

 I’ll bring something nicer then, Sunny-ah.

And I open again taeyeon’s chat and let my fingers dance to type my reply,

Did you just use exclamation marks on me, kim taeyeon? - jsy

And my phone buzzed again from sunny’s reply,

I will, and you know what,

she’s been glaring at me for a while now

because you talk to me but not to her,

 I gotta go, I want to live long – sunny bunny

 (p.s. I’m trying to put a signature since you and taeyeon did it too,

ain’t I the cutest?)

 

And it got me chuckling, I remember that night when me and taeyeon argue what we want to put each other names on our phone. Taeyeon insisted to put my princess but then she got mad because I want to use my cute prince for her.

“Cute? Really now, Cute? do you think I’m cute? I’m small? Do you think I’m that short? Tell me again do you pity me because of my height so you want to be my girlfriend?,” she said while she was glaring at me.

And I have to silence her with my lips before her self-conscious gets the best of her. That was just the most ridiculous thing to be fight over. Then we end up using each other initial.

Oh how I loved it when you call my name like that : (

 I miss you : ( – kty.

Well I was trying to not let that 3 words affected me, but she makes it harder than it should, why does she have to do this now, why did she say that?

and I could hear her voice in my head, I could imagined she’d say,

That’s just because I am crazy about you, you made me fall over feet in love with you

Another sighed out from my lips,

“unnie, you do know you’ve been sighing for over hundreds time in less than an hour?,” soojung’s voice interrupt me from my phone,

I didn’t answer, but then she tries to steal glances to my phone’s screen,

“did taeyeon unnie have a hard time?,” she asked,

She folds her legs up to her chin and hugs it, a phone still on her hand,

And I just nod, she looks concern at me though.

“of course she is, I swear she is like a 5 years old sometimes,” she said as she wiped her phone screen and focused on it again,

“don’t talk about my girlfriend like that,” I said with a pout on my face.

Soojung is eyeing me from her seat then she puts her phone to her ear,

she dares to call someone while her unnie is being all sad and miserable right now?

“hello, yes unnie, I know, yeah she is right beside me, hold on,” soojung said as she gives her phone to me,

“who is it?, who ‘unnie’?,” I asked with slightly my sharp voice,

“just answered it,” soojung said as she force her phone to my ear, and not to mention, she has a smirk on her face,

“hello,” I said, and there is a whiny voice that I learned to love more,

I wonder how soojung could manage to get her number,

“why aren’t you chatting with me? Are you trying to drive me insane?,” she asked with her whiny voice, I could picture a pout plastered on her face,

“taeyeon, don’t make this hard,” I said after an exhale,

“for you, yes, but you didn’t talk to me that’s making it harder for me, stop ignoring me and answer my messages,” and I meet with a dead line.

And soojung takes her phone back,

“unnie, you should try to get used to this term you know, you can’t be on her side every time and everywhere, but that doesn’t mean you have to distance yourself like this, it tortures both parties, that’s the last thing you want, right?,” she said as she pats my hand,

And silence surrounding us, I couldn’t lift my head and meets soojung’s eyes, she is right, it can’t be like this every time we were away from each other, but god, do I missed her presence, I missed being so close to her.

“I know,” I said softly, “I was just trying to pull myself together and call her later when we were off the plane, but then ….”

“she was just…not used to being away from you, that’s all,” soojung cuts in while patting my hand,

“I know, believe me I know,” I said as I reply to taeyeon’s new chat, asking if I was at airport already, I reply it right away,

“thanks though,” I added, I throw a gratitude smile towards my sister, and she just shrugs her shoulder and going back to read some articles from her phone before,

“but, how do you get my girlfriend’s number?,” I asked out of curiosity,

“from sm the ballad promotion maybe,” she said, she takes her phone off and look at me.

“what?,” I asked, can’t bear with her intense gaze, she has her annoying smirk on her face, a sign if she was going to tease me or such,

“you brought a lot of things at home last night, unnie,” she said, there was definitely tease in her tone,

And my face is blushing hard,

“I was wondering if it was from taeyeon unnie, but then I saw men pants and shirts, and some dresses, and you were wrapping bunch of things until dawn, and I saw you wrote a letter, I guess, and then you fell asleep on top of it.”

I could feel myself shrinking by her tone,

“and suddenly, this morning, all of it disappear,” she said again.

and this time she was grinning from ear to ear after looking at my tomato face,

“where did it go? Your manager said he dropped you off to post office this morning before we go to your members’ apartment.”

And she lets out her giggle, I hid my face on my palm, then she grabs my hand, trying to take a better look on my blushing face,

“unnie, tell me, are you really this serious with taeyeon unnie?.”

If my face couldn’t went redder before, it would right now, I’m already worried if they won’t like my present and here, my sister teases me like there is no tomorrow,

“I’m pretty sure they’ll like your gifts, but, why didn’t you mention your name in it?”

And it gets me to look up at her, with my incredulously looks,

“wh…wha…you read the letter?.”

“as a matter of fact I did, actually that was sweet of you, unnie.”

Her smile reached her eyes, Her soft tones soothes me,

“that was a good way to win parents’ heart,” and she added in with her lopsided smile, and I manage to flick her forehead,

“unnie, That hurts!,” I know she exaggerates a bit, I didn’t flick her forehead too hard though, but then I’m starting to tickle her and hit her playfully, of course my whiney voice didn’t left out,

“unnie, stop it!.”

“you know I’m already scared to death if they don’t like the presents, and you dare to tease me now? Seriously, how supportive sister you are.”

---

“I’m going to call you later when we arrive, baby, i love you too, and you, behave.” I said as we walk in to the gate. I was clinging to soojung’s hand. paparazzi and fansites are gathering around so much today. Lights are flashing from any kind of directions. Taeyeon would hate this, being at the center of attention. I could picture her remarkable annoyed face when she saw a lot of people gathered just to flash their camera towards us. A smile lingers on my face longer than it should, remembering taeyeon’s expression becomes a habit for me. It’s like my favorite kind of daydream.

Once we seat ourselves on our seat, of course soojung sits beside me, we were busy with our own business. Soojung with Her movies, and I’m with jack ryan. When I’m about to fall asleep, soojung suddenly nudge me and she pointed at her screen, she was already talking when I’m about to sleep, so only I catch on this phrase,

“…I wonder how Scarlet could pulled off y voice even if it wasn’t a scene.”

I, who was absorbed with my own thoughts about wanting to sleep, try to stay awake for soojung,

“unnie, listen to this,” soojung said as she plugs her ear buds to my ears, and being annoying soojung, she makes me listen to the actor and actress’s moans (which is rated part with black scene) to pay me back. She has mischievous grin on her face. My face is burning right now.

“unnie, you’re so red, you should’ve get used to this kind of scene already since you and Taeyeon unnie probably always go at it every time you guys have time.”

And I snickered a little, my cheeks blushed hard, as in my face couldn’t go redder already.

“unnie, don’t tell me….you haven’t…?,” soojung asked me warily,

Her eyebrows are judging me hard. I can’t help but thinking about Taeyeon on top of me and being in control,

 

“what do you know, you are only a kid,” I said as I turn away from her judging eyes and eyebrows, i close my eyes, trying to let sleep kidnapped me away from this soojung,

“oh my god, it’s been months since you were together!, why haven’t you did it?, better yet, how do you guys resist it?.”

And I gasped, I was taken aback with soojung’s questions, after few seconds trying to find the answer, I finally catch my breath and regain my composure,

“don’t blame me, she is scared herself too.”

Soojung looks at me with her soft but intense gaze, she reaches for my hand and give a soft pat,

“if she was scared, you should man up and lead the way, aren’t you?.”

As much as I hate to admit it, soojung was right.

“are you scared, Unnie?,” ask soojung carefully.

I didn’t answer, but soojung reads me better than I thought,

“what are you scared off, unnie?.”

Being brokenhearted, being replaced, being left out in the end.

“don’t answer it, unnie, I think I know.”

And I stay quiet,

“I think she really loves you unnie, I don’t think she would step back and running away again, you know, she aged a lot now, she can’t run every time she wants.”

“she wasn’t that old, she still can run for her life as I know,” I try to reason her.

“you have to trust me this one, Unnie, even runners need to find their finish line so they could stop running until their lungs hurt, it’s the same with Taeyeon unnie, I can tell if she wants you to be her finish line, maybe she want to run again one day but by that time, she will run with you. She used to being alone, Unnie, it takes a little bit more time for her brain to register what she had, but don’t let your worry eats you alive, Unnie.”

“don’t build barrier around you, Unnie, one thing at a time, don’t let tomorrow ruins your present.” She added.

And a smile spread from my face, maybe she was right,

“give yourself a chance, because Unnie, physical affection or we usually say “making love” is as much important as any kind of affection.” She said as she air quoted herself.

And here I am, laughing at her silly antics.

“oh my god this is awkward to talk about this topic with my sister,” she said suddenly after her pep talk, as she buried her face on her hand,

“hey! You were the one who started it!.”

San Francisco, April 18th, 01:55.

Today was a long day.

My eyes were swollen from all the crying today.

We were driving around the town, since it’s the first time after months going back home. We never stopped filming today, even if we were at Disney land. We had the time of our lives. Then when we reach home, staffs and soojung give me a little surprise. I was crying, pouring my hearts out. Suddenly our reality show turning to soap opera tonight. Being loved by these crews and thousands people out there were beyond my imagination, as in being loved by one person isn’t enough for me. Tonight is almost perfect, but ariana said almost is never enough. There is, still, something missing, or in my case, someone. How I wish Taeyeon were with us today. How I wish we spend my birthday, first, together as a couple. As much as I love the surprise, I can’t help but hoping Taeyeon would be here. But who am I kidding, she was in the other end of the world. She should’ve been at company right now, or as she told me a few hours ago.

Speaking of Taeyeon, my phone lit up with her name on caller ID. I pick up her call a little bit eager, she’s been trying to call me for these pass 2 hours.

“hey birthday girl.”

I could picture her cheeky grins and I can’t help but do the same, I’m smiling so hard until I could feel my cheekbones hurt,

“hey you,” my voice sounds hoarser without trying,

She was giggling,

“happy birthday my sooyeon-ah,” she said with her tender voice, it soothes me to the core, the silence in the room matches with her voice, I feel cold yet warm, I feel alone yet surrounded by her present,

“I wish you were here with me, since I’m done with filming today,” I said as I twirling my hair, I lean my shoulder to closer wall as a support,

“I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you,” she said with her sad voice, I could imagine her lips jutting in to a pout, I can’t help but do the same again,

“you know how our company works, right?,” she said,

it feels bitter.

“I know,” I said as I close my eyes, trying to prevent tears run down on my face again.

After a few moments of silence, she suddenly said with a slightly happier tone,

“you know, I send you something through soojung, you might see it later,” she said.

“you don’t have to give me anything, your love is already enough for me,” I said,

And I could hear her heartily laugh,

“eyy I think I already corrupt you, didn’t i? ice princess became cheesy cupcake now, thanks to me.”

There’s kiss sounds surround my ears,

“are you giving yourself self-kisses, kim taeyeon?.”

“yeah, since I couldn’t get one from you, so.”

This dork.

“unnie! Open up!,” soojung’s voice echoed from hallway, I was startled by her voice, this kid needs to calm down, it’s almost 3 in the morning for god’s sakes.

“what soojung? I thought you have your key.”

“I didn’t bring it with me,” she said.

“is that soojung?.”

“yeah.”

“oh, I gotta go then.”

“what?,” my tone went up an octave, “no, don’t.”

“I’m sorry, I’ll call you later, I have something to do,” she said.

“unnie!,” soojung’s voice raised an octave too, I sighed for thousandth time today.

“alright, bye, I love you,” I said.

After taeyeon answered with a hum, she hung up.

I don’t even get an I love you too, thanks to soojung.

“UNNIE!.”

“coming!,” I said as i throw my phone away and going to the door,

My heart feels gloomy, I can tell if I was about to cry again later tonight.

and I mean later is right after I let soojung in,

“soojung-ah, you should bring your key next tim…TAEYEON?.”

when I open the door, it revealed a figure that I’ve been craving,

Taeyeon is standing there, with her goofy smile, and a bouquet of lily in her hands.

I just frozen on my spot, my brain is slowly registering what happened right now. It takes a few seconds to let it sink in. when it does, my eyes are burning, my lungs are out of breath, but something heavy been lift up from my heart,

“surprise!.” she said as her bright smile sends me shiver to the bones,

Forget about hug, I just run and jump to her embrace,

My face hides on her crook.

“later unnie,” soojung’s voice echoed behind us and just like that, taeyeon brings me in to my room, without breaking our contact.

And then the tears are starting to stream down again,

I cry harder than before,

She’s my back until I calmed down a little bit,

here I am, pouring my hearts out, my body is trembling, and her tones turn to worry ones,

“wh-why are you crying? Are you alright?.”

She asked as she broke our hug and cupped my face, she intensely look my eyes, trying for searching something that upset me, but I’m not upset, I’m beyond happy right now, I’m in the blissful state. I have her here, I couldn’t ask for more, between sniffling, I manage to answer her,

“it’s perfect.”

---

“I swear that time when you leave our dorm, I was ready to jump on the plane too, and the next day after that and the next day, and thank God members were trying to hold me back with threatening me if they’ll choke me to death if I’m going to fly days before, since I have schedule too,”

And here we are, laying on me and soojung’s king bed, talking about her plans to surprise and visit me. I let her talk without wanting her to stop, even though my eyes feel heavy, my feet almost give in, I just want to stay, I don’t want to sleep, I want taeyeon.

“you are sleepy,” she said as she my hair. We are facing each other on the bed, our legs entangle each other, it’s been only a week for us to not seeing each other but it feels longer. I don’t know for some people who manage to get through long distance-relationship, I just don’t. I can’t imagine craving for taeyeon’s presence in the middle of the night, I can’t imagine spending years of nights without her embrace.

Taeyeon, what did you do to me?

“no, I’m just a little bit tired,” I said as I try to give her my best smile,

And her face fell,

“of course you are tired, I’m sorry, I should’ve been more considerate,” she said, her voice suddenly sounds so small, and I can’t let her feel like that, so I reach for her collar and grab it, bring her lips bruising with mine, after a few moment battling with lip locking, we pulled out to catch our breath.

“we could cancel this if you’re tired,” she said as she show me a white envelope.

There are 2 ticket under her name,

“you bought ticket to watch movie on graveyard?,” I asked with an amusement in my voice,

“yeah, I like scary things and you like Breakfast at tiffany’s, which is classic and you were craving to watch it the other time, and I have to drive for 5 hours or more then we could stop to watch sunrise on the way there, I already reserve a room for us to stay at daylight, and at night we’ll have our date, how was that sound? Am I talking non-sense? But you know, if you’re tir…,”

“God! It’s perfect!, Taeyeon, stop making me feel like this, like…like I’m a princess,” I cut in after I gave her a light peck on her lips so she could stop being nervous and all,

“you are a princess, at least to me,” she said with her soften voice and warm smile.

“you may make me fall harder for  you,” I said after a few moments of silence.

I find myself burning, the way she was saying things, the way she talks to me, it makes the hole getting bigger and it me in.

“well, that’s my purpose, I’ll make you fall as hard as I am, which is I still have a long way to go,” she said as she cupped my face and softly brush my hair to tuck in behind my ear,

She makes me feel beautiful and worth all the love in the world, this is Kim taeyeon I love. This is kim taeyeon I fell hard since day one on our trainee day. She makes me feel whole.

“let’s get going then,” I said eagerly.

---

“this is your first sunrise with your new age, sweetheart.”

Taeyeon was on the driver side when she wakes me up with caressing my face,

It’s still early in the morning.

Thank God she lets me sleep for a few hours before we arrived at the Hotel. I already have my belongings on luggage on our rent car. Soojung is going to go home today at noon, and we are in the midnight.

“so, this how sunrise looks like,” I said a few second after gaining my consciousness,

And taeyeon giggles,

“do you want us to stop by the beach? For a few minutes until the sun fully rise?,” she asked, taking my hand in hers, she intertwined our hands and the back of my palm with her thumb,

“sure, a few minutes break wouldn’t hurt.”

And after bought 2 cups of coffee and a pack of sandwich and burger, we finally take a little walk on the beach. Hand in hand. Since the beach is almost empty, there is only a few people there.

“it’s nice.”

She said after awhile,

“yeah, it is, watching first sunrise on my seventeenth birthday with someone I love,” I said, looking up to dark sky,

“excuse you?,” she asked, clearly want me to take my words back,

“I’m still 17 at hearts,” I defend, and she scoffs.

“fine, be that way,” she said after I nudge her softly with my elbow.

“aren’t you cold?,” I asked with my slightly tremble voice,

“you are?,” then the next thing I know, she wraps her arms around me,

As much as I love being close to her, I can’t help but worrying,

“taeyeon, we are in public,”

I regret saying this, because she pulls away and makes me missing her warmth.

But I feel warm again few seconds later, she covers me with her white cardigan and intertwine our hands again.

“thank you,” I said as I step closer to her,

She nods, and her cute yawn shows a bit later after the sun fully rise,

“are you sleepy?,” I asked again after few moments of silence.

she shakes her head, but another yawn betrays her,

“give me the key, you need to sleep,” I said.

“but today is your birthday,” she tried to reasoned up,

“so? Give me the key,” I demand.

And she stubbornly shakes her head,

“do you want us to get into crash before you let me watching on a graveyard?.”

And she swiftly takes out the key and give it to me, I was grinning when she was pouting,

“let’s go,” I said as I drag her faster to our car.

---

We manage to get good sleep while we were at the Hotel. We didn’t wear something fancy or it might draw attention, so we just wear our jumper (me with her hoodie) and pantsuits. When we arrived at parking lot, taeyeon immediately reach for my hand and hold it tightly. We find a spot a little bit further from the screen.

It’s 7 pm when we arrived at graveyard, and there are already a lot of people but thank God it’s dark and we could barely tell each other face. Taeyeon prepares some Korean and American dish, a red velvet cake and champagne. It’s like we were picnic, but we didn’t only surrounded by the living but also the death. When the movie is starting to play, I scoot a little bit closer to her and lay my head on her shoulder. She was a little bit stiff at first but then she has her arms around my shoulder.

“taeyeon,” I said in whisper, since the graveyard is so quiet and people were focusing on the screen.

“yeah?,” she answered,

“thank you,” I said as I snuggled closer to her.

“thank you for greatest birthday present ever.”

a hum and kiss on the crown I received as an answer.

“ah! I almost forgot!,” she said a little bit loud and gain shushing warns here and there. She was saying sorry and I just laugh softly, then her hand reaches a small white box from her pocket. And it’s written tiffany & co on top of it. My jaw was almost dropped when she opened the box,

“this is the real birthday present,” she said as she shows me a silver bracelet with snowflake and star ornaments covering its body. And there is our name initials engraved in the star ornaments. tj.

“ta-taeyeon, it’s beautiful!,” I gasped, I was surprised, when I thought my birthday couldn’t get any better, well, it’s definitely can.

And she lets out a small chuckle and puts it on my wrist,

“not as beautiful as you though,” she said after give my hand a kiss, and this is the state where my face is so red.

“taeyeon, I don’t deserve this,” I said as I look at her,

“you do deserve it, I don’t take no as an answer, anything you are going to say is wrong,” she said sternly. She has her face focus on screen again,

“even if I say I love you more?.”

And I can see her face breaks into grin,

“I would kiss you if we weren’t in public,” I muttered under my breath,

And she kissed my crowns again.

After almost 2 hours being captivated by audrey’s acting (and tiffany’s silver bracelet on my wrist of course), before people get up from their seat, we are already on our way to our car.

“I was going to ask you later, but I want to ask you right now,” she said with nervousness show on her voice, we were walking hand in hand. It’s a little bit creepy talking while there are a lot of grave around us.

 “first of all, I want to say thank you,” she said, I can hear voice tremble a little bit, I caress her hand that’s in mine softly, it’s like an automatic reflect for me to soothe her while she was being all nervous like this.

“thank you for your so not little present for my family.”

Ah. That, I forgot.

“oh, it’s arrived already?,” I asked, still walking with her slow pace.

“yeah, mom and dad asking me about the present, and I said it’s from someone that makes me happy, and they ask me to meet you next week when they are in town.”

And right there, my world stops. My feet stops working.

When I’m about to pulled out my hand from her embrace, she holds it tighter, before I’m starting to fidget. She takes a step closer to me and found my lost soul in her eyes.

"Meet my parents, I'll introduce you to them," taeyeon whispered as she intensely looking at my eyes.

“are you sure?,” I asked with my groggily voice, and she nods, with her gracious smile that makes me weak on my knees,

“of course, I’ll protect us though, don’t worry,” she said with her childlike face.

Her words give me more strength, if I have her on my side, I could do anything especially meeting her parents. I don’t know how her parents would react, maybe not as fascinated my family but I could worry that later, because I can tell, taeyeon is more scared than I am right now.

“I’d be happy to, taeyeon-ah,” I said as a soft smile plastered on my face, and her relieved smile drawn on her face,

“good.”

And we are starting to walk again,

“let’s make a bet,” she suddenly says.

Not letting worry thoughts eating me and her mind alive.

“who reach the car first, would have a free night without packing and stuffs,” she added in.

“including removing makeup and changing their dress?,” I asked.

“yeah, basically you’re being a slave for few hours until midnight.”

“wow you do know if my feet is hurting as hell right?,” I jutting my lips, trying to look weak.

And she scoffs,

“says the one who runs like a channing tatum on the finish line before, like literally.”

Yeah, we met channing tatum on our way here. And I run with all I might and I ended up take a picture with him. With taeyeon gritting her teeth, since she was the one who took it.

“fine.”

“yes! On the three, one…two…”

And she runs before finish counting,

“hey! That’s cheating! Kim taeyeon!.”

I run with all I might, and I could hear taeyeon’s laughter filled the night.

“don’t drop the bracelet!.”

Even if my feet gave in, I’ll never want to stop following her. I’ll never let anyone to stop me, because on her side, is a place I’d always rather be. what tomorrow brings, I couldn’t care less.

Chapter 23: This is by far one of the best Taengsic fluff that I’ve ever read. Oh how I wish things to be turned out like that in reality too :’)
