*Dongdaemun Market*

 

Taeny, Kryber, and Soosica were all walking together down the many aisles of food, clothes, shoes, toys, performances, etc. It was a beautiful, fun, enjoyable, peaceful and calm night-

 

“Taeyeon!!Amber!! Why are you two stalking me and Sica?! HUH?” Sooyoung took her two sisters by their arms and dragged them to the Merry-go-Round when JeTiKrys went to shop at a clothes booth. So much for a peaceful and calm night huh?

 

As soon as they got into the Merry-go-Round, Sooyoung forced TaeBer onto a seat while she sat on a horse next to them. Taeyeon and Amber rubbed their arms when Sooyoung finally let them go. Sooyoung was not happy at all.

 

Amber was the first to speak when the machine began moving. “Calm down Soo! WE-” Amber emphasized on the word ‘we’ and then pointed to herself and Taeyeon. “ -were not following you and your precious Sica.” Amber finished with a small smile, hoping that the tall girl will believe her.  She even ended her comment with a little tease just because she couldn’t help it.

 

“Liar!” Sooyoung yelled in Japanese, earning some stares and inaudible mumbles from some nearby people. Even the people not riding on the Merry-go-Round turned their heads around.

 

“Yah! Shut up!” Taeyeon grumbled as she stared at Sooyoung intently. Sooyoung just turned her head away. “Sooyoung, Amber and I had no intention of following you and “Sica.” Taeyeon did the quote signs with her fingers on ‘Sica’, earning a glare from Sooyoung.

 

“Excuse me Ms. Kim and Ms. Liu, only I’m allowed to call her ‘Sica’.” Amber raised her eyebrow at Sooyoung’s declaration while Taeyeon just looked lost.  However, TaeBer’s expression soon changed into one of anger.

 

“Ms. Kim?” Taeyeon said with a hint of anger as she stood up. Sooyoung took a gulp and got off the plastic horse.  And the worst part of this was that the ride was over.

 

“Ms. Liu??” Sooyoung looked at Amber and saw that even the tomboy wasn’t so pleased with Sooyoung’s name for them. Sooyoung took a second gulp.

 

“Are you ending our relationship over your nickname for Jessica?” Amber asked and then took steps toward Sooyoung as well. Sooyoung looked in horror as both her sisters walked toward her slowly with piercing stares.“Oh ! 2 against 1?! I’m so dead.”

 

“An-aniya! That’s not what I meant!” Sooyoung tried to defend herself but it was too late, before she knew it, she was already running around the Merry-go-Round.

“Ms. Choi! You !” Amber screamed as she frantically tried to grab a nervous Sooyoung who barely escaped her sister’s wrath. The whole time, Sooyoung was also dodging hits from Taeyeon.

 

“Don’t call me that!” Sooyoung screamed back as she blocked one of Taeyeon’s punches and then swiftly dodged one of Amber’s kicks to her .

 

“Wae? You called Amber and I “Ms. Liu” and “Ms.Kim”! So we can call you any name we want!” Taeyeon angrily responded as she gave Sooyoung an evil smirk.

 

“And  I think that calling you Ms. Choi is fair.” Amber added with a smile as she stopped for awhile to see Sooyoung’s expression.

 

“But-but that makes me sound old.” Sooyoung whined as she gave her sisters a pout. Taeyeon and Amber had given up catching their tall and long-legged sister. Both now had their arms crossed.

 

“Now you know how we feel.” Taeyeon stated as she poked Sooyoung on the chest. Sooyoung just let out a childish smile but unfortunately for her, Amber wasn’t going to be so easy on her.

 

“HI-YAH!” Amber yelled aloud as she gave Sooyoung her much deserved kick in the .

 

“Ow!!” Sooyoung groaned in pain as she rubbed her cheeks. Amber just smiled victoriously and gave Taeyeon a high-five.

 

“Now we’re even.” Taeyeon said with a small wave and then exited the Merry-go-Round. Amber just followed while Sooyound did the same thing except for the fact that she was rubbing her the whole time.

 

“You guys are so embarrassing.” TaeSooBer looked up to see JeTiKrys standing before them with different facial expressions. Tiffany was smiling, and JeKrys were just shaking their heads.

 

“Sorry Princess . But if it makes you feel any better, it was all Sooyoung’s fault.” Amber said with a wide smile and pointed to the Shikshin.  Jessica turned to give Sooyoung a ‘what-did-you-do’ look and that was more than enough for Sooyoung to put her hands up in defense.

 

“An-aniya Sica! They’re lying!” Sooyoung quickly explained as she gave TaeBer a piercing glare. Her sisters just shrugged it off. They weren’t scared at all.

 

“Did you guys know that the three of you were the only ones left on the Merry-go-Round for 10 minutes?” Tiffany suddenly asked followed by a small smile.

 

“We were?” Taeyeon asked aloud and then put a finger under her chin as she began to think and unknowingly, pouted. “Stupid Shikshin. I lost valuable ‘date’ time already.” Taeyeon angrily whispered to herself, but Tiffany heard. Tiffany found this too cute so she did something that caught Taeyeon off guard.

 

“Aigoo! You’re too cute Tae-tae!” Tiffany beamed as she pinched Taeyeon’s cheeks. Taeyeon was trying to pry Tiffany’s hands away from her face.  SooBer just looked at them with opened mouths while JeKrys looked at them with envy.

 

When Tiffany finally let go of Taeyeon’s cheeks, SooBer and JeKrys took no time to vent out their own opinions.

 

“Tae-tae?” Jessica teased. Krystal let out a small chuckle while Tiffany just nodded her head happily.

 

“Jessica stop it. Can’t you see that Taeyeon’s blushing?” Krystal then pointed to Taeyeon who was in fact, blushing due to Tiffany’s actions.

 

“I-I’m not blushing. It’s just hot.” Taeyeon then pretended to fan herself tried and went to stand next to SooBer. 

 

“Tiffany and Tae-tae sitting on a tree…” Amber began singing happily as she ran to Krystal. Taeyeon face palmed herself. She should’ve known better but at least Sooyoung didn’t …WRONG!

 

“…K-I-S-S-I-N-G…” Sooyoung also sang and ran to hide behind Jessica before Taeyeon can inflict pain on them.

 

“Hey! I’m not the only one with a nickname. Amber calls Krystal ‘princess.’” Taeyeon retorted after she realized that as long as SooBer was hiding behind their dates, she couldn’t do anything.

 

Amber’s face jerked up at Taeyeon’s statement. “Yah! That’s a low blow!” Krystal just giggled.

 

“It’s okay. Even though Amber is my ‘servant’, I prefer calling her ‘Am’.” Krystal then intertwined her arm with Amber and gave everyone a smile. Tiffany and Jessica were gagging as if it was the most horrible thing they heard while Taeyeon and Sooyoung just stayed silent.

 

“I like our nicknames…Am.” Krystal then looked at Amber and smiled, making Amber smile back.

 

“Hello!! We’re still here!” Tiffany’s voice immediately broke the reverie that Amber and Krystal were in and they just laughed it off.

 

Jessica on the other hand was tired of her cousins showing off the closeness they had with their dates.

 

“Okay enough with the nick-names.  I want to continue my date with Sooyoungie.” Jessica immediately covered the moment she realized what she had just said. Everyone else just looked at her in surprise. Especially Sooyoung.

 

“Sooyoungie?” Sooyoung happily asked with a wide smile as she looked at the embarrassed Jessica.  Jessica just let out a fake cough and avoided the stares she was getting.

 

“No need to be embarrassed Jessica. Sooyoung was really pissed at Amber and I because we called you ‘Sica.’” Taeyeon admitted with a shrug, not noticing Sooyoung making a big X in the air with her arms behind Jessica, to stop Taeyeon from saying anything else.

 

“Really? Is that why she dragged you guys away earlier?” Krystal inquired and looked at Amber. Amber nodded her head.

 

“Yep. Sooyoung warned us that only she was allowed to call Jessica ‘Sica’.” Amber finished and gave Sooyoung a smirk. Now it was Sooyoung’s turn to be embarrassed and Jessica looking at her intently didn’t make her feel any better.

 

“Aw…is Sooyoung getting embarrassed now too? All of you guys are so cute.” Tiffany squealed causing TaeSooBer to stare at each other.

 

“Cute?” Tiffany turned to look at Taeyeon the moment she heard Taeyeon’s comment. Tiffany got close to Taeyeon again and Taeyeon responded by quickly covering her cheeks just in case Tiffany wanted to pinch them again.

 

“Yes Tae-tae. But you’re cuter.” Tiffany said with her famous eyesmile while Taeyeon gave out a fake cough to hide her nervousness at their close proximity. Taeyeon then realized how close Tiffany’s chest was to her. “wow…they’re so-! AH! Andwae! Go away Byuntae!”

 

“Umm..let’s continue on with our dates okay?” Taeyeon suggested and stepped away from Tiffany so she will stop having erted thoughts.

 

“Alright! Hey you guys want to go clubbing later?” Krystal asked as they began walking around the market again.

 

“Sure. We don’t mind right?” Amber looked at her sisters who just shook her head.

 

“If Tiffany wants to go, I have no problem.”

 

“Me too. If Sica wants to then I’m in.”

 

Tiffany smiled and Jessica did the same thing.

 

“Fine then since it’s almost 8pm, why don’t we enjoy ourselves here for another hour or so then go clubbing? We’ll meet each other at the entrance and then leave together.” Krystal was really excited about clubbing and Amber can see that just by her planning and expressions.

 

Everyone else just nodded their heads and went their separate ways to continue their dates.

*Kryber*

 

“Hey Krystal?”

 

“Yeah?” Krystal responded as she looked at some shirts that were on sale.

 

“You want to hear a joke?”

 

“Sure.”

 

Amber took a breath and told Krystal the joke. “What did the anemone say to his fish friends about the crab?”

 

Krystal stopped what she was doing and started to think of possible answers. However, all of her guesses were incorrect.

 

“What did he say?” Krystal asked.

 

“Don’t talk to the crab because he’s my ‘anemy’.” Amber then broke out laughing while Krystal just looked at her with a puzzled look.

 

“I don’t get it.” Krystal admitted after Amber calmed down a bit. Amber looked at Krystal incredulously.

 

“Seriously?” Amber asked and Krystal nodded her head.

 

“Well the anemone is saying that the crab is his enemy.”

 

“A-huh.So???” Krystal was still confused.

 

“So then that’s why the anemone said ‘anemy’. The words anemone and enemy are put together. That’s the joke.” Amber explained and let out some more giggles. When Krystal finally understood, she let out a small chuckle.

 

“You are so childish Am.”

 

“I guess. But don’t you think life’s too short to be serious?” Amber asked as she and Krystal continued exploring the market. They were walking side by side and somehow, Amber suddenly got nervous with PDA.

 

“That’s right but at the same time, you can’t be happy all the time.” Krystal added and looked at Amber with a small smile.

 

Amber just looked at Krystal. “For me, happiness is all I want.”

 

“Do you like glass figurines Krystal?” Amber asked with a smile.

 

“I don’t collect them like Hana but yes, I do like figurines. Wae?” Krystal asked back with a smile.

 

“Nothing.” Amber quickly said.

 

Krystal then remembered something. “Oh! Amber there’s something I’ve been curious about. Don’t’ be offended alright?” Krystal cautiously asked.

 

“Go ahead and ask. I won’t mind.” Amber said with a smile.

 

Once Krystal got permission, she slowly let out her thoughts. “Well, that night…at Hana’s birthday…” Krystal stopped and looked at Amber to decide whether or not she should continue.

 

“That’s all?” Amber asked and turned to look at Krystal. Krystal shook her head and continued her questions.

 

“As I was saying. That night at Hana’s birthday, Taeyeon mentioned that you were the one who made the glass phoenix. Is that true?”

Amber came to an abrupt stop and was no longer smiling. This actually scared Krystal a little. She quickly apologized.

 

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you. Just forget I asked.” Krystal let out a small smile and went off but was stopped by Amber. Krystal expected Amber to be angry but to her surprise, Amber was neither angry nor sad.

 

“I’m not mad. Don’t worry.” Amber reassured with a smile that made all the doubts Krystal had go away. Now Krystal was just waiting for what Amber had to say.

“Yes. It’s true that I know glassblowing.” Amber admitted with a small smile.

 

Krystal’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s so cool? Did someone teach you?” Amber’s smile immediately disappeared, confusing Krystal.

 

“What’s wrong Amber?” Krystal asked in concern. Honestly, if it was some other person, Krystal could care less, but this was Amber. Krystal couldn’t help but wonder what’s wrong.

 

It took a few minutes before Amber finally talked, but it wasn’t difficult for Krystal to sense the saddened tone in Amber’s voice.

 

“My-my parents. But they’re dead.” Krystal didn’t say anything. In fact, she didn’ know what to say.

 

“I-I’m so sorry Amber. It was stupid of me to have even asked that question. Please forgive me.” Krystal hanged her head in shame. “I should’ve kept my mouth shut.”

 

“Hey-” Amber spoke and lifted Krystal’s chin so that she can see her face. “-don’t feel bad about it Krystal. I’m okay.” Amber reassured but Krystal didn’t believe it at all. She felt really bad. Krystal couldn’t believe how apathetic she was to Amber.

 

“Really. I’m fine.” Amber began to do some weird dance and facial expressions to make Krystal laugh or at least smile. Fortunately, it worked.

 

“Finally! I thought I had to take you to see Sooyoung.” Amber said with a chuckle. When Krystal stopped laughing, she was confused.

 

“Sooyoung?”

 

“Yep. Sooyoung. She calls herself a psychologist but unfortunately, she has no professionalism. If you know what I mean.” Amber stated and then broke out in a fit of giggles.

 

It took a while until Krystal understood. “So you mean…”

 

Amber nodded her head. “Sooyoung claims that she’s psychologist but her solution to every problem is food, which gets her into a lot of trouble with me and Taeyeon.” Krystal broke out in laughter upon hearing this. She could imagine Sooyoung advising Taeyeon and Amber and getting hit.

 

Amber was glad that Krystal was smiling again. Krystal slowly averted her attention back to Amber when she felt a certain someone staring at her. All of a sudden, Krystal gradually walked up to Amber and gave her a hug.

 

Amber was taken by surprise by the hug but returned it.

“I’m really sorry Amber. I mean it.” Krystal mumbled. Amber smiled and released the hug a little to look at Krystal.

 

“Yep. Look at me. I’m all fun and smiles and all Amber.” Amber said with a dorky smile. Krystal closed the gaps again, giving Amber another hug.

 

“I’m glad. Am I um—am I comforting you Amber?” Amber chuckled at Krystal’s silly question and was enjoying the hug but when she realized they were becoming a public spectacle, she tried to break away from the hug.

 

“Uh… Krystal-” However, Krystal was too engrossed in the hug that she didn’t want to break away. “This feels so nice.”

 

“Krystal, Krystal, Krystal!” Success! Amber’s yell broke Krystal out of her daydreaming.

 

“Huh?what? what’s going on?” Krystal broke the hug and saw people looking at them.

 

“Heh..sorry?” Krystal was quite embarrassed and quickly walked away by herself. Amber shook her head and chuckled at Krystal’s behavior.

 

“So princess, what should we do now?” Amber asked upon catching up to Krystal. Krystal blushed upon hearing Amber’s nickname for her but she was too embarrassed to even suggest anything. Krystal begin playing with her own fingers.

 

“I don’t know. What if we-Omg! Amber look at that big teddy bear!” Krystal excitedly pointed to a bear and ran toward the booth that had it. Amber followed and realized that the bear was huge.

 

“Hello miss. Play some basketball and if you score all three times, you get any prize you want.” Krystal excitedly nodded her head, paid the guy and then took shots but she missed all three times.

 

“So sorry Miss. Maybe next time.” Krystal didn’t say anything and just before she turned to walk away, she was prevented by Amber.

 

“I would like to try.” Amber then paid the guy while Krystal just looked at Amber in disbelief.  The basketball hoop was oval, so making shots would be hard. (A/N: Anyone of you ever tried playing this? I hate it! lol) Krystal didn’t think Amber would be successful but she was proven wrong when Amber scored all 3 shots.

 

“Winner! And what would you want as your prize?” Amber pointed to the huge teddy bear that Krystal wanted.  Upon receiving the bear, Amber quickly handed it to Krystal.

 

“For me?” Krystal took the bear and then looked at Amber in confusion as she pointed to herself.

 

“No. You’re just holding it for my girlfriend.” Amber sarcastically responded but Krystal took it quite seriously.

 

“Oh. Sorry-Wait! If you have a girlfriend, what are you doing here on a date with me?” Amber just laughed at Krystal’s cluelessnesss and walked away. Krystal quickly ran to catch up to Amber.

 

“Hello??? Why aren’t you answering me? Who’s your girlfriend? When did you two start dating? Are you a player? Are you-” Krystal’s ranting came to a stop the moment Amber put a finger on her lips.

 

“Shh!” Krystal just looked at Amber and was in a daze just looking at the closeness of Amber’s face.

 

 “Are you going to listen to me or are you going to keep talking?”

 

“I’m listening.” Amber smiled and removed her finger. Amber then put her hands on Krystal’s shoulders before speaking. Krystal was just anticipating what Amber was going to tell her.

 

“Krystal…I have a girlfriend.” The moment Krystal heard the word ‘girlfriend’, she became speechless and for some reason, disappointed. Krystal looked down onto the ground to avoid Amber’s eyes.

 

“Oh…sorry. I didn’t know you had a-a girl-girlfriend.” Krystal couldn’t bring herself to say the last word.“The first person I actually really like and she’s taken.”

 

“You want to know my girlfriend’s name?” Amber continued. Krystal weakly nodded her head. “Sure. Why not?” Krystal responded with a fake smile. “I don’t care about your girlfriend’s name-”

~You´re better than the best
I´m lucky just to linger in your life
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow that´s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it´s ok yeah it´s ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade~

“Krystal Jung.” The moment Krystal heard her name, she quickly raised her head to look at Amber with a bewildered look. 

 

“Me?” Krystal asked as she pointed to herself, still a little dazed.

 

Amber chuckled at Krystal’s puzzled look and ruffled her hair.

 

“Yes. It’s you. You’re a girl who’s also my friend so that makes you my girlfriend.” Amber explained. Krystal let out a sigh of relief and happiness.

 

“So you’re single?” Krystal asked again just to make sure that everything she heard was true. “Not that I care though.” Krystal added just to save her dignity. She didn’t want to sound desperate.

 

“Yep. I’m single and ready to mingle!” Amber exclaimed and did a dance, causing Krystal to giggle. However, people were looking at them strangely as they walked by.

 

“Hahahaha…Okay Amber I heard you. Now can you please stop dancing?” Krystal whispered as she let out an embarrassed smile. Amber stopped when she finally realized the weird looks she was receiving.

 

“Sorry.” Amber apologized and then took a hold of Krystal’s hand. “Let’s go.”

 

As Amber and Krystal walked back to the entrance, Krystal couldn’t stop admiring the huge bear that Amber won for her. She felt so special.

 

“You like the bear that much?” Amber asked and looked at Krystal who only nodded her head.

 

“Yep. It’ll remind me of you when we don’t see eachother.” Krystal was now hugging the bear and smiling widely. “I love this bear already.”

 

“Glad you like it.” Amber stated with a charming smile, making Krystal blush. Krystal can’t stop but feel strange around Amber. Even though they haven’t known each other for long, Krystal feels comfortable around Amber.

 

After awhile, silence followed. Kryber were just waiting for the other couples to arrive.  However,  Krystal couldn’t help but think back to what she discussed with Hana earlier that day.

 

“So I heard something weird from Hana today.” Krystal stopped thinking and looked at Amber, who just had a blank expression. Krystal on the other hand, was quite nervous. “What did that little brat tell Amber? She had better not told her that-”

 

“What did she say?” Krystal hesitantly asked. Amber stopped in her tracks and turned her body so that she can see all of Krystal. Amber then held Krystal’s shoulders and leaned in so that their faces were only inches apart.

 

“Do you like me?” Amber’s question surprised Krystal. Krystal was speechless and stunned, she was caught off guard but luckily she was able to regain her senses.

 

“No! Who said that? Hana?” Krystal challenged. “Because that little girl is speaking nonsense. You and I are just friends.”

 

“Good. Nice to know.” Amber then let go of Krystal’s shoulders but maintained their close distance. “And for the record …” Krystal held her breath for Amber’s next words. “… I like you too Krystal.” Krystal opened her eyes wide, quite speechless at Amber’s confession.

 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about servant.” Krystal denied. Amber smirked.

 

“Oh really? That’s not what Hana told me this afternoon.” Amber countered as she looked at Krystal, who was still avoiding eye contact. Amber then reiterated her conversation with Hana earlier that afternoon to Krystal.

 

*Flashback*

 

“Hello!!!I’m here!” a happy Hana screamed as she entered the bakery and hugged TaeSooBer.

 

“Hello there my lovely Hana. How are you doing today?” Sooyoung asked with a wide smile as she patted Hana’s head. Hana just did a thumbs up.

 

“That’s good. Why were you late Hana? Did something happen? Did someone bully you again?? What’s that green thing on your leggings??” Hana giggled at Taeyeon’s protectiveness. Taeyeon was turning Hana around to make sure she was alright.

 

“I’m alright Tay. I was only 5 minutes late. And I was sitting on the grass earlier so that’s why my leggings have dirt on it.” Hana said with a smile before taking a seat on the counter. It wasn’t really busy so TaeSooBer had time to spare for Hana.

 

“Oh..well in that case, do you want ice cream? We have chocolate. Your favorite.” Hana nodded and Taeyeon got up to fetch the ice cream.

 

“Such a worry-wart.” Sooyoung said aloud after Taeyeon disappeared into the kitchen. Sooyoung then remembered something.

 

“Oh! Hana. I have the shirt that knitted for Bling-Bling. Wait here!” Sooyoung then also disappeared into the kitchen as well since their personal belongings were in the back.

 

“So Hana, why were you late?” Amber asked as she took seat across from Hana and gave Hana a cup of milk. Hana took a sip of her milk before answering.

 

“Ah..this is so good. I was late because of Tiffie, Jessie, and Krys.” Amber looked at Hana upon hearing Krystal’s name.

 

“Really? What happened?” Amber put her arms on the table and looked at Hana.

 

“Krystal asked me if you like her and I told her that I don’t know. And then she asked me if you had a girlfriend and I told her I didn’t know. And then Tiffie and Jessie wanted to know if…”

 

When Hana finished telling Amber the story, Amber let out a chuckle.

 

“What’s so funny Ahjhusshi?” Hana really couldn’t understand why Amber was laughing. Hana found the whole ordeal quite confusing since she was just a kid and was treated like an adult by her cousins and sister. (A/N: Poor Hana…if only you knew.hehehehe)

 

“Nothing. Maybe you should also tell Soot and Tay why you were late. I’m sure they would love to know.” Amber suggested before lightly poking Hana’s cheeks, which make Hana giggle.

 

“Know what??” Taeyeon and Sooyoung simultaneously asked when both of them returned. Amber just smirked and signaled Hana to retell the whole story.

 

*End of Flashback*

 

By the time Amber was finished, Krystal was so shocked and embarrassed. Suddenly, Krystal smiled sheepishly to Amber

 

“So…both Sooyoung and Taeyeon know too? About Tiffany and Jessica’s questions?” Krystal managed to ask after a minute of silence. Amber nodded her head and smiled at Krystal, who was now rubbing the back of her neck, not sure what to say or do any more. 

 

~Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Even when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that~

 

“Damn it. That little brat told Amber! What do I do now?” Krystal thought to herself as she looked at Amber. Amber kept smiling at her and without knowing, Krystal returned the smile. At that moment, it seemed as if time stopped for the princess and her servant.

*TaeNy*

 

Taeyeon was walking fast ever since she and Tiffany separated from the others. Tiffany had to double her speed just to catch up.

 

“Taeyeon! Stop!” Taeyeon ignored her and just continued walking away. Taeyeon was scared as hell of Tiffany. Taeyeon never knew Tiffany was so daring and persistent. And frankly, Taeyeon didn’t know how to react.

 

“TAE-TAE!!!” Somehow, Taeyeon came to an abrupt stop at the mention of Tiffany’s nickname for her. Taeyeon turned around to see an angry Tiffany looking at her intently. It actually made Taeyeon feel guilty for walking so fast. When Tiffany finally caught up to Taeyeon, she looked really angry.

 

“Why didn’t you wait for me?” Tiffany asked after regaining her breath. “That’s rude you know?” Taeyeon just listened to Tiffany, not answering, which irked Tiffany even more.

 

“Hello? Answer me.” Tiffany demanded. All the while, Taeyeon was looking at Tiffany’s lips. Those shiny, pink, smooth lips that Taeyeon just wants to-

 

*SLAP* Taeyeon had slapped herself to stop having erted thoughts. Tiffany just looked at Taeyeon in shock.

 

“Oh my god! Tae-tae, are you alright? Why did you do that? Does it hurt?” Tiffany then began to rub Taeyeon’s cheek just to make sure it was alright. Taeyeon cringed at Tiffany’s touch and stepped back.

 

“It-its nothing. Let’s go.” Taeyeon then began walking but stopped when she realized Tiffany wasn’t next to her.

 

“Tiffany?” Tiffany had her arms crossed and had a hurt expression. And for some reason, Taeyeon felt really bad upon seeing this. “Kim Taeyeon. What’s wrong with you?”

 

“Do I make you uncomfortable Taeyeon? Or am I just too bothersome? I really didn’t mean to scare you or hurt you by my actions.”  “No! Tiffany its not you!”

 

“Tiffany-” Taeyeon called Tiffany’s name for the second time but was interrupted.

 

“It’s just how I am. I’m just too happy that you gave me a second chance and if I did something that was unacceptable or –or stupid, I didn’t-” Tiffany kept ranting that everytime Taeyeon tried to say something, she couldn’t.

 

“SHUT UP!” Tiffany stared at a frustrated Taeyeon, who was rubbing her forehead. “Nice move Tiffany. Now you gave her a headache.”

 

“Do you act like this on every date you go on?” Taeyeon managed to ask after she got Tiffany’s full attention. Tiffany shook her head.

 

“No. I’m sorry. I must be embarrassing you right Taeyeon? I’ll just shut my mouth then.” Tiffany apologized and looked to the ground. Taeyeon just looked at Tiffany and then let out a sigh. “Why isn’t she calling me Tae-tae anymore? Did I do something wrong again? Aish! Stupid Taeyeon!”

 

“Tiffany.” Tiffany didn’t even budge when Taeyeon called her name. Now it was Taeyeon’s turn to panic. This is what happens when she doesn’t have dating experience.

 

“Tiffany, if you don’t answer me right now, I’m going to-to”

 

Unbeknownst to Taeyeon, Tiffany was actually enjoying the frantic and confused Taeyeon. She wanted to see what Taeyeon would do to get her attention.

 

“You’re going to leave me right? I’ll save you the trouble. I’ll leave first. Bye.” Tiffany then secretly smiled to herself before leaving a dumbfounded Taeyeon behind.

 

“Oh ! What do I do?” Taeyeon thought to herself. Just then two voices popped in her head.

“Go after her dumbo! She doesn’t deserve this. She likes you remember?Likes you!!!” Amber’s voice echoed in her head.

 

“Are you really going to let that y thang walk off alone? Run after her Tae! You want your y back!Yeah!” Sooyoungs voice soon followed.

 

“AISH!!!” Taeyeon shook her head and rubbed the back of her neck. Obviously, the mental image of Sooyoung and Amber didn't help. Suddenly, Taeyeon was chasing after Tiffany.

 

“Our date’s not over.” Tiffany looked at a panting Taeyeon and smiled. But then it soon changed to a frown.

 

“I thought you found me annoying.” Tiffany said in a dejected and sad voice. Of course it was just an act but Taeyeon doesn’t need to know that. On the other hand, Taeyeon couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

 

“Did you hear me say that? Geez Fany! You’re letting your emotions get the best of you again just like when you concluded I called you stupid at the theatre.” Taeyeon then let out a huff of breath and looked at Tiffany in irritation.

 

Tiffany, however, was smiling like a crazy person.

 

“Wae? Omo! Were you acting?” Taeyeon asked, quite creeped out by Tiffany’s smile and took a step back.

 

“Fany? I like that Taeyeon.” Taeyeon just let out a fake cough before answering. Taeyeon has dignity too right? Right.

 

“It’s only fair. You call me Tae-tae so I can call you Fany. Wait, how come you don’t call me Tae-tae anymore?” Taeyeon inquired with an eyebrow raised.

 

Tiffany let out some giggles before pinching Taeyeon’s nose. Taeyeon looked up at Tiffany and sighed.

 

“Look Tiffany. I’m really sorry about my actions. It’s just that I have very little dating experience.” Taeyeon whispered. But Tiffany heard everything.

 

“Why didn’t you just say so?” Tiffany calmly asked. Taeyeon looked at her in disbelief.

 

“You really expect me to tell you that I don’t have dating experience when I’m the one who asked you out on a date? Does that make any sense?” Taeyeon commented in frustration and annoyance. “This is so embarrassing.” Tiffany wanted to say something but Taeyeon kept ranting on.

 

“I even asked Sooyoung and Amber for dating advice but their advices are just-Ugh! I’m not even going to tell you what those two told me.  Anyways, when I try to do things my way, I mess everything up.. Aish! Dating is so complicated! I should’ve just-” Taeyeon paced back and forth, quite angry with how everything was turning out.

 

“Taeyeon, it’s-” However Tiffany’s voice went to death ears. Taeyeon was obviously still angry with…herself?

 

“TAEYEON!!!” Taeyeon immediately stopped her actions and turned to look at Tiffany, who didn’t look too happy. “Come here.” Tiffany gestured with her finger. Taeyeon reluctantly complied.

 

As soon as Taeyeon got close enough, Tiffany put her arms around Taeyeon’s neck.

 

“Yah! What are you doing?! Get your-” Taeyeon was silence by Tiffany’s finger on her lips. Now what should Taeyeon do? She can do lots of things but somehow, she just froze.

 

“Shh!.” Tiffany demanded and she took the silence from Taeyeon as a sign to continue. “Good girl. Now listen to me. We’ll take things slowly and you don’t have to do anything. I’ll show you. Actually, we’ll just do it together. Just be yourself and that will make me happy. Do you understand Taeyeon?” When Tiffany finished, she retreated her finger and anticipated Taeyeon’s answer.

 

“Why aren’t you calling me Tae-Tae?” Taeyeon asked with a little pout. “I called you Fany.” Taeyeon childishly reasoned.

 

Tiffany couldn’t help find Taeyeon’s childish antics adorable. Tiffany rolled her eyes in a cute manner before responding. She couldn’t believe that was all Taeyeon had to say after her incredible speech.

 

“Aish! Okay. Do you understand….Tae-Tae?” Taeyeon vigorously shook her head and put out her hand.

 

“That’s better Fany-ah. I understand by the way. Now are you going to take my hand or leave me hanging?” Taeyeon asked impatiently. Tiffany happily intertwined her hand with Taeyeon and the moment their hands came together…

 

~You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile~

 

…Taeyeon SMILED!!! (A/N: ahh!! Jumping in happiness right now! Lol)

 

The moment Tiffany saw Taeyeon’s smile, she didn’t know how to feel or think anymore. Taeyeon’s smile was so beautiful. It was the first time Taeyeon ever smiled to Tiffany.

 

“What’s wrong Fany?” Taeyeon said, not understanding why Tiffany was staring at her with a smile. Actually, it was more like Tiffany was squealing inside with happiness.

 

“You smiled for the first time.” Tiffany explained as she began to swing their intertwined fingers back and forth with a smile plastered on her face. She then added a little dance as well.

 

“You made me smile Fany-ah. Yuck! I’m starting to sound like SooBer.” Taeyeon made a disgusted face, which caused Tiffany to giggle. 

 

“I swear, living with Sooyoung and Amber has definitely rubbed off on me.” Taeyeon thought to herself before walking again with Tiffany right next to her. Taeyeon looked at Tiffany who was humming and smiling the whole way.

 

“You remember my rule huh?” Taeyeon asked, causing Tiffany to look at her.

 

“Of course. I won’t forget anymore and besides I made you smile so beat that Hana!” Taeyeon looked at Tiffany in confusion upon hearing Hana’s name.

 

“Sorry. It’s something between Hana and I.” Taeyeon just nodded her head and took Tiffany to eat some food.

 

“You must be hungry. Let’s eat before we meet the others.” Tiffany agreed and sat down next to Taeyeon. As they looked at the menu, Tiffany kept stealing glances at Taeyeon.

 

*Flashback*

 

“Hana, does Taeyeon ever smile?” Tiffany asked with a sad sigh.

 

Hana looked at her sister weirdly. “She smiles, you just haven’t seen it. At least I’ve seen her smile.” Hana proclaimed proudly.

 

“Aigoo.” Krystal and Jessica said together before lightly knocking Hana’s head.

 

“You’re lucky Hana. She must hate me. That’s why she never smiles when she sees me.” Tiffany sadly stated.

 

“That’s not true unnie. Tay does smile but Soot and Ahjusshi says its only when she’s really happy. So all you have to do is make her happy.”

 

“Easier said than done. Tiffany dejectedly answered, earning a comforting pat from JeKrys. “How do I make her smile when we’re on date?”

 

“It’ll happen. Just be yourself.” Hana then got up, brushed herself clean before leaving.

 

“Oh and unnie.-” Tiffany looked up at Hana. “-be nice.”

 

*End of flashback*

 

“Thinking about what you asked Hana?” Taeyeon coolly asked as she flipped through the menu.

 

“Yes.” Tiffany bluntly answered since she was still daydreaming happily.

 

“You want cold noodles?” Taeyeon asked.

 

“Yes.”

 

“You want kimchi?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“You want spicy octopus and dubokkogi?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Did you ask Hana for dating advice?”

 

“Yes- No!” Tiffany quickly changed her answer, and covered after realizing what she has just said. Taeyeon just looked at her blankly and tapped her chopsticks on her palm.

 

“…”

 

“Yah! Why would I do that? I didn’t ask my baby sister for advice on going to dates with you.” Tiffany blurted out.

 

“Did I say the advice was in regards to me?” Taeyeon answered casually as she laid out the food plates. Tiffany face palmed herself at her clumsiness.

 

“Stop that. Now eat.” Taeyeon demanded and handed Tiffany a bowl of rice and utensils. Tiffany nodded her head and complied. She soon forgot about her confession since she was really hungry and was eating as if there was no tomorrow.

 

“This is really good Tae-Tae. Here eat some.” Tiffany then got some spicy octopus and put it in Taeyeon’s bowl.

 

“Thanks. But Tiffany you have some…” Tiffany had some sauce on the side of her lips and Taeyeon was trying to tell Tiffany where it was.

 

“Huh? What is it?”

 

“On your face, next to your mouth…” Taeyeon tried to explain and Tiffany was trying to wipe off the smudge with her tongue and hands but the smudge was still there.

 

Taeyeon then stretched out her hand to wipe of the smudge that was on Tiffany’s face. Gently wiping it off with a napkin. Tiffany froze upon Taeyeon’s touch.

 

“Th-thank you.” Tiffany said and quickly went back to eating. She couldn’t believe just how much progress she was having with Taeyeon. 

 

“Maybe I should thank Hana too.” Taeyeon mumbled to herself.

 

“Huh? Did you say something Tae-Tae?” Taeyeon looked at Tiffany, who was staring back with food still in .

~Don´t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes~

“I didn’t say anything. Finish your food Fany-ah.” Tiffany smiled and nodded her head. As soon as Tiffany went back to eating, Taeyeon couldn’t help but smile again. “I could get used to this...again.”

*Soosica*

 

“Giant! Can we please stop?! I’m so full and tired.” Jessica said as she took a seat on the grass.

 

“Andwae! Sica! Get up! Pleassseee!!!We have so much more food waiting for our arrival.” Sooyoung pleaded and pulled on Jessica’s arm. However, Jessica was reluctant to get up.

 

“No! We’ve been eating for 2hrs straight! I’m tired. Let’s just relax.” Jessica closed her eyes and was about to sleep until-

 

“Liar! We were only eating food for 15 minutes. Quit exaggerating. Come on, let’s go back huh? I didn’t complain when you kept dragging me with you to shop for clothes in the booths. Shopping with you was torture but I didn’t complain for those 2 hrs.” Sooyoung pouted and crossed her arms.  Jessica opened her eyes and saw Sooyoung fuming with anger.

 

“Sooyoung. Sit here.” Jessica patted to the empty space next to her.

 

“Shido! No!” Sooyoung stood firm on her decision to do more eating and enjoying the night with Jessica. “Why don’t you get up and let’s go back to our date?”

 

“We arere on our date now. Now come sit down next to me.” Jessica once again commanded with her eyes closed.

 

“No! I’m not-”

 

“Sooyoung!” Jessica immediately opened her eyes upon hearing another girl’s voice.

 

“ Hye Sun!” Jessica looked in shock as Sooyoung and this “Hye Sun” girl hugged each other in what seemed like an intimate embrace.

 

“What are you doing here? Wow…you got hotter.” Hye Sun complimented as she let go of the hug and looked at Sooyoung from head to toe.

 

“I’m here with a friend. Thanks for the compliment. Why are you here?” Jessica let out a scoff upon hearing that Sooyoung call her a “friend.” “A friend? You don’t need to tell her anything Sooyoung!”

 

“I’m here for the festival of course. Having fun so far?” Sooyoung looked at Jessica disappointedly before answering Hye Sun.

 

“Well, not really. I wanted to go explore some more but my friend there didn’t want to go anymore.” Sooyoung said in a dejected tone and pointed to Jessica.  Hye Sun followed Sooyoung’s gaze and finally noticed Jessica.

 

“Oh. How rude of me. I’m Goo Hye Sun. A good friend of Sooyoung. And you are?” Hye Sun introduced herself with a smile and put out her hand.  Jessica got up and just glared at Hye Sun.

 

“I’m Jessica Jung. Nice to meet you.” Jessica said between gritted teeths and gave a fake smile as she shook hands with Hye Sun.

 

“Jessica. Since you’re tired, why don’t you go back to the others and I’ll go with Hye Sun? That way, you won’t be alone.” Sooyoung suggested with a smile and stood next to Hye Sun. Jessica was not happy with Sooyoung’s idea at all. “Psh! And leave you alone with that wrench? No way.”

 

“So how do you know Sooyoung?” Jessica asked Hye Sun, ignoring the fact that she didn’t even answer Sooyoung. All that Jessica cared at that moment was who the hell this Hye Sun girl was to Sooyoung. And the worst part was that Jessica didn’t know why she even cared.

 

“Oh. We’re really, really good friends.” Hye Sun stated and grabbed Sooyoung’s hand and smiled. Sooyoung smiled back. On the other hand, Jessica did not like their skinship at all.

 

“Ahem! I see. Well..Sooyoung’s my GIRLFRIEND.” Sooyoung’s jaw dropped while Hye Sun shook her head in disbelief.

 

“R-really? Is this true Sooyoung?”  Hye Sun said with her eyebrows raised.

 

“No! We’re just friends.” Sooyoung defended herself and glared at Jessica, who only shrugged.

 

“Friends don’t go on dates Sooyoungie.” Jessica scooted close to Sooyoung and put her head on Sooyoung’s shoulder. Sooyoung shuddered at their skinship.

 

“Hye Sun. We’re on a date but we’re just friends.” Sooyoung said and removed Jessica’s arm, much to Jessica’s dismay. “Wait! I mean we’re just friends.”

 

“I’ll see you later Sooyoung. Give me a call.” And with that, Hye Sun left.  When Hye Sun’s figure couldn’t be seen anymore, Sooyoung quickly turned around to face Jessica.

 

“What the hell was that?!” Sooyoung snapped.

 

“What’s what? I told her the truth.” Jessica coolly answered and sat back down on the grass.

 

“The truth? You are not my girlfriend!  If you didn’t want me to go with her, you could’ve just told me.” Sooyoung reasoned as she paced back and forth.

 

Jessica rolled her eyes. “Look. I don’t care what you do with her or who you are to her. But you are my girlfriend genius. I mean, you’re a girl who’s also a friend so that makes you my girlfriend. Arasso?” Jessica commented as she leaned back a little on the grass. She just wants Sooyoung to stop being so childish.

 

“Aish! You’re so strange sometimes Jessica.”

 

“And when you’re here with me, you stay with me. You don’t go leaving me for another person, let alone another girl. Understood?” Jessica sternly stated with her arms crossed and gave Sooyoung a cold stare.

 

Sooyoung couldn’t believe the words that came out of Jessica’s mouth.

 

“Oh, so you can do that right? Just like how you met your friends back in the market and left me for alone for 30 minutes while you chatted with them?” Jessica just stared at Sooyoung, not sure of what to say. She couldn’t believe that she was getting a lecture from Sooyoung.

 

“And not to mention the fact that all of your friends were giving me the y and snotty stare.” Sooyoung continued on. Jessica didn’t realize that Sooyoung was so observant.  “Then when I meet friend who’s willing to have some fun with  me while you chose not to, you finally remember me.”

 

“Sooyoung-” Jessica tried to talk but was stopped. Sooyoung wasn’t finish.

 

“And this is suppose to be our date Jessica. Not yours, not your friends, and definitely not you and your friends together. But noooo…when I finally have the chance to suggest an idea, you reject it.” Jessica was starting to feel guilty now. She didn’t know she was being so rude.

 

“You know what Jessica? I just realized that throughout our date, you were more focus on yourself. Now that I think about it…you stay really far away from me at times. Am I scaring you or something?” Sooyoung finally stopped to let Jessica say something. Sooyoung really wanted an answer. Even though Sooyoung only known Jessica in a short period of time, something about Jessica tells Sooyoung that she’s hiding something.

 

“Am I allowed to speak now? Or should I go back to my snotty and y friends?” Jessica asked in annoyance. She didn’t like to be lectured at all. It made it seem like she was still a child. And her last question was more than enough to show Sooyoung that she was irritated.

 

“Up to you.” Sooyoung dryly responded and took a seat on the grass while Jessica remained standing up. “Say whatever you want and do whatever you want Jessica. I don’t care.” Jessica flinched a little at Sooyoung’s words. For some reason, Sooyoung’s words really bothered Jessica.

 

“I can’t talk to you while we’re in this position.” Jessica stated as she tapped her foot and looked down to Sooyoung. Sooyoung looked up at Jessica and just stared at her with a “so what” look.

 

“Do what you what. I don’t care.” Sooyoung then laid down on the grass and looked at the stars. “The stars will keep me company. You can go back to your friends.”

 

“Fine. Then you leave me no choice Sooyoung.”

 

“Whatever.” Sooyoung then closed her eyes. Within seconds, Sooyoung felt someone on top of her.

 

“Jessica! What are you doing? Get off me!” Sooyoung began to push Jessica off but Jessica was laying on top of Sooyoung and was reluctant to let go.

 

“No! Since you don’t want to talk to me, this is the only way I can get you to listen.” Jessica argued back while smiling to herself.

 

“Jessica. This is really inappropriate-”

 

“Inappropriate? Says the woman who held me down the same way a couple of days ago. I learned this from you.” Jessica smirked to herself when she lifted her head up a little to see Sooyoung’s shocked expression.

 

“Hey! That’s because I had to do that or else you would have gotten into another fight. It was the only way for you to listen to me.” Sooyoung truthfully defended herself.

 

“Exactly. And we’re in the same position for the same reason. You won’t listen to me so I have to do this.” Jessica answered back bluntly and laid her head back on Sooyoung’s chest.

 

“Aish! Fine. Talk! Before I change my mind and shove you off.” Sooyoung threatened.

 

“Okay. I will. Grouch.” Jessica whispered the last word just incase Sooyoung really acted on her threat.

 

After a minute or so, Jessica took a breath and finally spoke.

 

“First of all, I’m-I’m-so-sor-Aish!” Jessica just couldn’t bring herself to apologize. She’s not the type to apologize.

 

“Are you trying to apologize? Cause if you are, you at it.” Jessica lightly pinched Sooyoung’s stomach upon hearing Sooyoung’s comment.

 

“Shut up. Now as I was saying, I didn’t mean to make you feel insignificant.” Jessica began.

 

“Actually, you were just about to apologize.” Sooyoung corrected. Jessica pinched Sooyoung’s stomach again.

 

“Ow! Alright, I’ll just shut my mouth now.”Jessica was proud of her victory and continued talking.

 

“Those people that you saw aren’t my friends. They’re more like potential business partners, who I have to act nice with for the future.” Sooyoung just listened, which Jessica appreciated. It’s a good sign.

 

“And I’m not scared of you Sooyoung. I’m just-” Jessica paused, not sure if she should continue or not.

 

“You’re just what?” Sooyoung asked. She wanted to know what’s bothering Jessica.

 

“The last time I was on a date, my heart got broken.” Jessica’s voice slightly quivered as she said that sentence. Sooyoung, on the other hand, didn’t know what to say or do.

 

“That’s why I kept my distance from you at times. I was-”

 

“That’s enough Sica.” Jessica stopped talking the moment she heard Sooyoung’s voice.

 

“You don’t need to explain yourself to me. I should have been more understanding. I would like to apologize for making you remember such painful memories. I’m sorry.” Jessica just listened and held her tears back. She can’t let Sooyoung see her tears.

Sooyoung then wrapped her arms around Jessica and rubbed Jessica’s back. “But you want to know something Sica?” Jessica nodded her head.

 

“If you lose someone, it means that the both of you were not meant to be with each other. Although I don’t know anything about your past relationship, I know that if you tried your best, then have no regret. But if it’s the other person you love who broke your heart, then clearly, he or she doesn’t know how to treasure you.” Jessica listened the whole time. Sooyoung’s words were truthful and honest.

 

“Its better to let go and move on. There’s plenty of more ducks in the park.” Sooyoung then began to make duck noises just to lighten the mood. In a few seconds, Sooyoung could hear Jessica giggling.

 

~Even when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that~

 

“You’re such a dork Sooyoungie.” Jessica mumbled as she slowly closed her eyes.

 

“Jessica? Don’t fall asleep. We still have to meet the others.” Sooyoung warned and tried to move Jessica but Jessica refused to move.

 

“Let’s just stay like this for awhile. I like this position.” Sooyoung smiled.

 

“Whatever you say Sica.” Sooyoung then laid back on the ground.

 

“Oh and Sica..”

 

“hm?”

 

“…next time, wear thicker clothes.” Sooyoung confessed while looking at the sky and tightening her hold around Jessica.

 

Jessica only smiled. “Thank you Sooyoungie.”

~You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile~

*Later on at the Dongdaemun Entrance @ 11pm*

 

“Yah! What took you guys forever?!” Amber yelled out upon seeing TaeSoo coming approaching with their JeTi.

 

“None of your business.” Taeyeon retorted back, earning a smack from Amber.

 

“What the hell? Why did you hit me?” Taeyeon asked back. She was pissssed!

 

“Calm down! Now let’s go out clubbing like planned. Which one should we go to?”

 

“Oh I know! We can go to BB’s or NightFever-” Tiffany began to talk about the clubs with JeKrys while TaeSooBer just listened.

 

Just then TaeSooBer received a text message from Donghae.

 

It read:

 

Meet me at my apartment now. We have trouble. Heechul is coming to take the your dates home. Come NOW!!

 

TaeSooBer looked at eachother and knew that whatever Donghae was referring to, it was not a good thing at all.

 

“Sorry you guys but we have to go. Something urgent came up. Heechul will be coming here in a moment to take all of you home.” Sooyoung said, bringing the talk between the cousins to a stop.

 

“What happened Sooyoungie?” Jesssica asked in concern. “Is everything alright?”

 

“Its nothing Jessica. Just some family problems.” Amber intervened. Even Amber wasn’t sure what could have happened.

 

“Family problems? Is it serious?” Krystal asked back.  After the talk with Amber earlier, Krystal wanted to make sure that if anything does happen, she will be there to help out Amber and her sisters.

 

“Don’t worry about it. We’ll see all of you later.” Taeyeon quickly said and motioned her sisters to go.

 

“But Tae-Tae, we’ll go with you.” Tiffany didn’t want to Taeyeon to leave yet. For some reason, she wanted to accompany Taeyeon and ensure her safety.

 

Jessica seemed to have the same thoughts. “Just wait a little. We’ll go together.” Krystal nodded, to show her agreement.

 

“No. We’ll go ourselves. All of you go home and we’ll talk later. Arasso?” Sooyoung said with a smile and gently patted Jessica’s head.

 

“But-”

 

“No buts Tiffany. You go home with your cousins. I’ll call you later.” Taeyeon reassured. 

 

“Amber. I’ll go with you.” Krystal suggested and stood next to Amber but Amber put her back with JeTi.

 

“No Princess. You be a good girl and go home. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Krystal reluctantly agreed. Amber gave her a charming smile and just to make sure that Krystal won’t be so disappointed, Amber intertwined her hands with Krystal’s and rubbed it. Krystal smiled at Amber, feeling a lot better.

 

As this was going on, Taeyeon and Sooyoung was saying their goodbyes.

 

“Sooyoung! You better call me tomorrow! If you don’t, I will kill you. Understand?!” The ice princess yelled with her arms crossed. Sooyoung giggled at Jessica’s way of showing concern and nodded her head.

 

“Okay I will. Geez. You’re so demanding.” Jessica glared at Sooyoung. Sooyoung immediately shut up but then remembered something.

 

Jessica looked with wide eyes as Sooyoung took off her jacket and put it on her.

 

“Its cold. Stay warm.” Sooyoung softly said as she put the scarves and jacket on Jessica. Jessica felt so warm and touched by Sooyoung’s actions.

 

Meanwhile, with Taeny…

 

“Tiffany. I’ll see you later.” That was all Taeyeon said and Tiffany wanted more.

 

“Wait. That’s all you’re going to say? Why don’t you, you know.” Tiffany blushed as she pointed at SooBer and showed Taeyeon what they were doing with their dates.

 

“You don’t honestly want me to be touchy with you right?” Taeyeon raised her eyes skeptically. Tiffany sighed at Taeyeon’s cluelessness.

 

“No, but you can be a little understanding and make me feel better. Our date isn’t even over and you’re leaving.” Tiffany explained, hoping Taeyeon would get the hint.

 

“So what? We’ll see eachother again.” Taeyeon commented and looked at Tiffany with a blank expression.

 

Tiffany was getting a little annoyed. “Fine! Just go then. I’ll see you later.” Tiffany said and walked to JeKrys. Taeyeon smirked to herself upon seeing Tiffany’s impatience.

 

“She is one demanding woman.” Taeyeon whispered to herself before walking to join her sisters as well.

 

*BEEP BEEP!* All six individuals turned around to see Heechul’s car.

 

“Okay. Your ride is here. Bye Princess.” Amber said and gave Krystal a light hug, to which caused Krystal to blush and run off.

 

Before Jessica was going to leave, she turned back to say something but it seems Sooyoung got to her first. “I’ll call you tomorrow Sica! Bye! Good night!!” Sooyoung then waved her hand excitedly. Jessica felt assured so she left, not to mention the fact that she was slowly getting used to Sooyoung’s childish, yet cute behavior.

“Bye.” That was all Tiffany said to Taeyeon before walking to the car as well.  Tiffany was still a little upset she didn’t get something sweet from Taeyeon like her cousins did. However, Taeyeon held her wrist to stop  her from going further.

 

“Wait Tiffany.”

 

“What? I have to go now. I don’t-” However, Tiffany’s sentence was cut short the moment she felt Taeyeon’s lips on her cheeks.  After Taeyeon retreated, Tiffany used her hand to feel the cheek that Taeyeon kissed and blushed.

 

“I’ll see you tomorrow Fany.” Tiffany gave Taeyeon her eyesmile before running off to Heechul’s car.

 

When the car disappeared from sight, the night no longer seemed to be one that was peaceful.

 

“Let’s go.” Taeyeon spoke seriously before running off with her sisters to their motorcycles.

 

“What could’ve happened?I have a bad feeling about this.” Sooyoung spoke in between running.

 

“Don’t know. But whatever it is, it must be serious.” Amber joined in before getting on her bike with Taeyeon.

 

“We’ll soon find out.” And with Taeyeon’s last sentence, the sisters drove off into the chilly night.
