Taeyeon’s POV

The sight of not-so-morning sunshine has gone through my window,

Lifting up my eyes from my slumber sleep

I’m on my dorm’s bedroom, covering up with blanket,

Once I try to sit myself, the pain from hangover is taken me aback

I groan and massage my scalp at the same time

Still trying to completely opened up my eyes

10 am

Fortunately, I don’t have any schedule until tonight

I try to remember what I did before everything went black

I grab my phone and start to check any messages,

it's only bunch of manager's texts to inform my schedule and fany's,

but then I checked call logs,

and there it was, her name at the latest call that I made last night,

uh-oh,

I was calling sica, wasn’t I?

and the memories of the night comes crashing in my mind,

I remember saying things,

and some confession,

and my eyes got burn,

the tears welling up,

I remember she didn’t answer my apology,

she just hangs up.

I'm aware if I wasn’t that drunk last night

I remember the details

After she hung up

I drink everything until everything went black,

and sunny takes me home.

What a pathetic loser,

as I let out a big huffed

Between conversation in my head, I heard familiar voices in the living room,

And they are bickering noisily,

“jinjja, if you dare to drag her in to a club and make her drunk again, I swear I’m going to go san fransisco height’s just to make you sorry, got it?.”

“sicaaaa she is the one who asked for it, and as her best friend, I just want her to relax.”

Huh? Sica? Sooyeon is here?

I panicked.

Wha..what is she doing here?,

and her voice becomes clearer,

“you, just watch out,”

And the sight of her pretty face appear behind that door,

she wears her favorite black sweater and a long pants.

she seems so calm,

and she manages to give me her 1 million smile.

she walks to my bed and she brings something in her hand,

“oh you’ve finally waking up,” she says as she walks to my side.

I just stunt. Watching her walking and sitting next to me.

She put a tray food on the edge of bed,

She takes the aspirin out and giving it to me

“take it, you seems trying so hard to endure it, and please don’t, just eat this meds,” as she giving the pills in my hand and try to take a glass of water.

I just nod a little and drink it.

She never take her eyes on me

She’s watching me, every move,

Maybe just to make sure if I’m fine

She takes my half empty glass to night-stand.

And there’s the silence

She’s just sitting next to me and watching me,

I’m starting to fidgeting all of sudden

“what were you thinking? Drinking until that late, you aren’t like that, seriously what were you thinking?,”

Her voice sounds stern and strict

I don’t dare to bring my eyes up

“did sunny drag you up there?, really if that little rascal did this I swear…”

“no no, it’s me, it wasn’t her fault,” I cut in. as I’m trying to lock our eyes. “you don’t have to be mad at her though, she was just being my friend, she knows I had a lot in my mind and I feel like I might explode if I didn’t do something about it, so we went to the club…”

I reluctantly continue my sentences but she dares me to, so I did,

“and drink until I passed out."

And her stare at me turn softer,

She grabs and holds my hand on hers,

she doesn't seem hesitant at all,

“do you remember anything last night? The fact that you called me?.”

as expected from her, we're back to unfinished business,

but she was the one who hung up,

What am I supposed to say?

“what if I say, I don’t remember it?.”

“and I would say, do you know if you are a bad liar?.”

she knows me too well,

“you really have a lot in your mind, didn’t you?.”

I manage to nod,

I just study her figure in front of me,

Why would she be here after everything I put her trough,

How could she be here when I was confessing to her last night,

Right, what’s she was doing here after she hangs up me?

“what are you doing here, I thought you didn’t want to contact me?.”

and she sarcastically scoffed,

“isn’t that you, taeyeon? You are the one whose drawing the line between us, so why would I do that?.”

“last night…you hung up on me.”

And I just stare down,

Watching our intertwined hands,

I try to remove my hand but she hold it tighter,

“so you remember it, I guess you remember it all perfectly well of what you’ve said to me last night.”

Her voice is so calm, she didn’t sound angry

But I couldn’t lift my head,

And she knew if I’m scared,

Because her voice turns softer than ever,

“what do you expect me to say, taeyeon-ah?,”

that name, it sounds better when she is the one who said it,

She sounds more like pleading

I brought my gaze back to hers

“I didn’t.”

And she lets out a loud sighed,

“I couldn’t do it over the phone, taeyeon, and I thought you are that drunk.”

“so you just cut the phone and now you are here and being nice to me, what am I supposed to think now, sooyeon?, I thought you hated me.”

“nooo, I couldn’t ever hate you, tae,”she whined as she caresses my arms,

“you suppose to think that I’m your friend too, even you did that to me, I always be your friend.”

ugh, the stings tears make a comeback

“I’m sorry, sooyeon-ah, I really am, I wish I could turn back time and make sure it didn’t happened but I couldn’t, if you giving me another chance, I’ll show you what I really feel and how sorry I am, I can’t hold it any longer, I really want you back in my life again,”

She just stares at me with her beautiful expresionless face,

“could you give me another chance?,”

and I’m pleading,

After all these years try to ignore this feelings, which never work out,

I just can’t stand to let her go again,

not without her forgiveness,

even in the end she doesn't love me back, who cares,

as long as she could forgive me, right?

right?

and she reaches me into her embrace,

“of course, we’ll work things out, one thing at the time.”

as she my back,

And I feel weights on my shoulders been lifted up.

her hair gotten their way to my face,

I could smell her sweet strawberry shampo,

and I could smell her lotion that has been my favorite scent,

vanilla.

and I feel like I'm finally home.

then she unwraps her arm and let me go, as she beams her beautiful smile that I’ve been missing out,

I turn the smile, the shy one of mine,

“eat your breakfast and take a shower, we’re going out.”

And suddenly sunny’s head plops in my room

“YES! Sica, you are jjang!, I’m going to take shower first then!”

 “you were eavesdropping, weren’t you?,” sooyeon shots sunny with a dead glare,

“Ops, sorry!.”

“yah!," and I manage to yell at her.

“so I guess we’re going out as me, you, and sunkyu," sooyeon said as she brings her attention back at me.

I just let a little laugh and taking a glance to soo yeon’s food

“did you make this? for me?.”

“of course, my cooking skill’s improving, you know?.”

She lets out her cute giggle,

I can’t help but smile at her response.

I reach a tuna sandwich that soo yeon made,

Take a big bite and let out a loud moan,

“goodness, this is what foodgasm is.”

Soo yeon just shakes her head and smiling.

“and tae,”

“nee?,” as I take another bite of my sandwich,

She shakes her head and put a stray of my lock behind my ears,

I stop chewing my food,

I miss this gentle moves,

we are locking our eyes, and I wait her saying things that could make me choked up, but feel alive all of sudden,

“don’t do that again, don’t ever ignore me again, don’t shut me out, please, just let me in.”
