All became quiet as soon as those words left Taeyeon's mouth. Taeyeon and Sunny continued to have a staring showdown, but Taeyeon never loosing her grip on Tiffany's hand.  Tiffany felt as if her world became so small at that moment. All she could see and feel was Taeyeon. It was so...so...quiet, tense and yet...soothing for her. Her trance lasted for awhile until Tiffany finally decided to take a glance at the people behind her. She saw Sooyoung and Amber, both had a stone expression, yet Tiffany could've sworn she saw both of them smile a little. And then she looked at Jessica and Krystal, who now had a satisfied smile on their faces and their arms crossed. Almost as if...they knew this will happen.

Tiffany slowly turned back to look at Sunny, who was shaking a little now and was staring at Taeyeon menacingly. Tiffany doubt that Sunny was shaking from fear. No, her shaking was based on repressed anger and hatred. For whatever reason, Tiffany didn't know.  Tiffany only knew that Sunny and Taeyeon were NOT friends...in fact, she did not know what they were at all...for now. It wasn't until Taeyeon spoke again, that Tiffany finally returned to reality.

"I doubt I need to prolong this conversation." Taeyeon said in a calm yet cold tone to Sunny. She then let go of Tiffany's hand and wrapped an arm around Tiffany's waist now. "Think about it Sunny. I don't want anymore trouble." Taeyeon then turned both her and Tiffany around. Just before Tiffany lost complete visual of Sunny, Tiffany quickly glanced back to look at Sunny. And the sight she saw..was not of mere friendship or enemy. It was more...almost like a woman...who has lost something..or someone valuable.

"Don't look and dont' think of anything." Tiffany immediately looked at Taeyeon, but Taeyeon kept her eyes forward. Tiffany saw Taeyeon's tense face muscles and shaky voice. Something was wrong. Taeyeon tightened her hold around Tiffany's waist, but didn't hurt her. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SooSica and KryBer followed behind, keeping a distance between them and TaeNy. They gave TaeNy the space they needed. For almost 25 minutes, nothing was said. The only thing heard was their footsteps and the noises of bugs and insects in the night.

"Taeyeon, are you-" Tiffany's words were cut short with Taeyeon's sudden stop. Taeyeon looked at Tiffany and gave her a warm smile. A smile that was only meant for her...a smile to comfort Tiffany and let her know that her 'Tae-Tae' was fine.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it." Taeyeon assured, once again flashing a smile to Tiffany. Tiffany wasn't convinced.

"But-"

"Should we leave you two lovebirds alone?" Taeyeon and Tiffany both turned around to see a Amber and Krystal looking at them with a smile. " I swear, you two should just kiss already."

Tiffany quickly felt Taeyeon's arm go loose around her and before she knew it, Taeyeon was already charging toward Amber. Amber ran behind Sooyoung, who refused to block her and then she ran behind Jessica, who only shook her head and then she finally dashed back to hide behind Krystal. Amber was panting from all the running and dodging of Taeyeon's wrath.

"AMBER! Once I lay my hand on you I'm going to strangle you and then leave you stranded on an island and then -"

"Stop over-reacting Taeyeon." Sooyoung suddenly retorted with a laughter. Taeyeon glared at Sooyoung. "You should be happy Tiffany is willing to kiss you. If it was me, I won't even-" Sooyoung couldn't even finish her sentence because now an embarrassed and angry Taeyeon was charging right at the tall girl.

"AHHHH!!!!" Sooyoung screamed and ran around, barely escaping Taeyeon's grabs. "JESSICA! Help me!"

Jessica was laughing now, enjoying the little chase in front of her. "Sorry Sooyoungie. You brough this upon yourself."

Sooyoung sighed. Even her girlfriend couldn't help her. Sooyoung then ran over to Amber. "Amber! This is your fault!"

"Yah! I was just playing around. Who knew she would-"

"Hello!!! She's TAEYEON! TAEYEON!!!!" Sooyoung reasoned in fear and irritation. Amber got angry now.

"Don't you yell at me! I never told you to interfere. You were pretty dumb for saying those words to her."

"Dumb? I'll show you what a dumb person can do then!" Sooyoung then put Amber in a choke hold. "What do you think now?"

"You stupid Shikshin! Let me go!!" Amber then began to got out of the hold and both were now grabbing each other like kids.

Krystal found the whole ordeal too amusing so she quietly left her place, leaving SooBer vulnerable to Taeyeon. SooBer were so engrossed in thier fight that they forgot the reason why they were hiding in the first place. 

"Are we just going to stay here and not help?" Tiffany whispered in between her giggles, as she saw Taeyeon slowly walking toward SooBer.

Krystal just nodded her head. "Yep. This is quite entertaining. If only i brought popcorn..or some kind of food." Krystal mumbled sadly.

"Don't worry girls. I brought gummy worms." Jessica intervened and past her bag of gummy worms to her sister and Tiffany.

"When did you start keeping a stash of food?" Krystal inquired and took a gummy. "You're not the type to eat sweets."

Jessica shrugged. "These are Sooyoung's. It's her midnight snack". Jessica used her fingers to do quotation marks as she said 'midnight snack'.

"Really? Then maybe we shouldn't-" Tiffany was going to suggest putting the gummy worms away but Jessica stopped her.

"It's okay. She wouldn't even notice that they're gone. Look." Jessica then opened her bag.

Krystal and TIffany looked into the bag and gasped. 

"OMG! She eats all of these?" Krystal asked incredulously when she saw the contents of the bag. There were food ranging from sweets, cup noodles, sweet drinks, juice, lollipops, rice crackers, chips, microwavable rice-

"Microwavable rice?" Tiffany asked in confusion as she took out the microwavable rice. Jessica only nodded her head. "She eats it in my office. Cute huh?" Jessica smiled like a dork.

"Your girlfriend really likes food huh?" Tiffany asked and put the rice back into Jessica's bag.

Jessica only smiled. "Yep. My girlfriend is a shikshin."

"Hahaha!!!" Krystal's laughter broke JeTi's conversation. "It's amazing how these girls can go from being so serious and mysterious to...that" Krystal spoke as she put a gummy worm in and pointed to TaeSooBer. Taeyeon was doing the noogie on Sooyoung while Amber was pleading Taeyeon to stop.

Jessica nodded wiht a smile. "That's what makes them...them." JeKrys broke out in giggles.It's true...TaeSooBer won't be the same without these silly    bickering.

Tiffany laughed again when Taeyeon got kicked in the by both SooBer. SooBer was teaming up on Taeyeon now. She couldn't stop laughing.

Meanwhile...

Taeyeon stopped and faced her sisters, her back turned to Tiffany. Sooyoung and Amber were tired and hungry now. 

"Yah! This is just so childish!" Amber complained and pointed to Taeyeon. "Can't you take a joke?!" 

"Yeah! We're just joking. We just wanted to make it less awkward for you and Tiffany."

"Is she smiling?" Taeyeon asked, eyes not leaving her sisters. Sooyoung and Amber looked at Taeyeon in confusion.

"Dugu? Who? Me or Sooyoung?" Amber then looked at Sooyoung. Sooyoung was wiping her sweat with her arm.  "Neither of us are smiling. Besides, why the hell would we be smiling when we're fearing for our lives-"

"I'm talking about Tiffany." Taeyeon face-palmed herself and explained herself clearly this time. She didnt think her sisters would be so careless.

"ohhhhhhh...why didn't you just ask that earlier?" Sooyoung asked, making Taeyeon look at her in disbelief. Sooyoung and Amber then looked at Tiffany, who was not only smling but laughing as well. 

"She's having blast. She's smling and laughing so much with Jessica and Krystal." Amber answered back. Taeyeon sighed and recomposed herself. She then smiled at her sisters. 

"Good. Thanks for the help. I hope I didn't hurt both of you."

Sooyoung rolled her eyes. "Both of us are fine but-wait! You did this on purpose?!"

Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders and turned around to walk back to JeTiKrys. Amber and Sooyoung looked at eachother and everything became clear to them. They grinned at each other and ran to catch up to Taeyeon.

"Wow Taeyeon. You will do anything to see her happy huh?" Amber asked with a smiled and put an arm around Taeyeon's shoulder.

"Duh! You would the same Amber." Sooyoung answered and nudged Taeyeon. "Right sis?"

"Why ask her when I can answer you? Of course I would do the same thing for Krystal. She's my princess afterall." Amber said proudly and proudly slapped her hand on her chest.  "And I'm proud of it!"

"Aish..both of you be quiet." Taeyeon tried to sound serious but SooBer took notice of the softness in Taeyeon's demand.

"Eeekkk!!! You are so in-" SooBer squealed but was interrupted.

"So what?" TaeSooBer looked up and saw JeTiKrys looking at them in amusement. TaeSooBer broke apart from eachother, not even realizing that they have already reached their destination.

"Taeyeon is so what?" Tiffany inquired again. Sooyoung and Amber was going to answer but got their mouths covered by Taeyeon.

"No-nothing. I'm nothing." Taeyeon answered nervously. "Right? SooBer?" Taeyeon asked between gritted teeths and gave her sisters a "don't-you-dare' look.

SooBer peeled Taeyeon's hands from thier mouths and shook their heads. "Nothing at all. Let's go. It's getting late." Amber then grabbed Krytals' hand while Sooyoung did the same with Jessica. However, as Amber passed Taeyeon, she whispered, "-you are so in love with Tiffany." Taeyeon gulped and hoped Tiffany didn't hear anything. Fortunately, Tiffany didn't.

Amber grinned. "See ya later sis." 

"Both of you don't stay up too late!" Sooyoung yelled and walked ahead with KryBer and Jessica.

"Are you sure we should leave them alone?" Jessica looked up to her girlfriend for an answer. Jessica doesn't like leaving Tiffany alone, no matter who she was with. Sooyoung looked down at Jessica and wrapped an arm around her. 

Sooyoung smiled. "Don't worry. You can trust Taeyeon." Jessica smiled back to her girlfriend and nodded her head. Sooyoung then reached over to grab Jessica's bag.

"I need some snacks." As Sooyoung rummaged through her snacks gleefully, Jessica just stared at her girlfriend, who was making a child expression as she tried to get the snack she wanted. Jessica smiled at her girlfriend's child behavior. After a few minutes, Jessica realize that Sooyoung wasn't so happy anymore.

"Sica! WHERE'S MY GUMMY BEARS???!!!"

"Oh !" That was the only words Jessica thought of as she now faced a frantic, angry Sooyoung going through the bag like crazy. So what did Jessica do? She did what anyone  would do if someone, especially if that someone was your lover, is pissed off.

"Amber took it." Jessica said as cool as possible and put on her innocent and puppy face as she pointed at Amber, who was happily chatting with Krystal.

What happened next? Let's just say that the Jung sisters will be having a hard time being the referees for that night's match: 'Giant vs. Llama'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taeyeon and Tiffany just stayed still after the others left. Taeyeon scratched the back of her neck, and avoided looking at Tiffany.On the other hand,Tiffany just kept looking at Taeyeon.

"Why are you staring at me?" 

Tiffany put her hands in her pockets and smiled. "Why aren't you doing the same?"

"Um..um..." 

"Um is not an appropriate answer." Tiffany laughed a little. "I want an answer that makes sense."

"Um...Imshyandidon'tknowhowtofaceyou." Taeyeon blurted out fast and stared at Tiffany. She then quickly looked at the ground again.

Tiffany smiled at Taeyeon's nervousness. "What? I didn't understand you."

Taeyeon looked at Tiffany in disbelief. "How-how can you not have understood what I said? It was clear." 

Tiffany raised her finger and moved it side to side. "It was not clear at all. You said it too fast."

Taeyeon sighed and decided to repeat herself. "I'm shy and I don't know how to face you."

"That's it?"

"What do you mean?How can I not be after what I just said earlier to you?" Taeyeon asked and ran her hand through her hair in frustration. "I'm going crazy." Tiffany was going to answer but got stopped by Taeyeon's palm in the air, signaling her not to say anything.

"Don't say anything. Don't talk until I tell you to. Okay?" Tiffany nodded her head so Taeyeon continued. 

"Tiffany." Taeyeon stood before Tiffany and said her name softly. She then looked at Tiffany and found the girl looking at her with a small smile. Taeyeon sighed and continued.

"Tiffany...I'm sorry." Taeyeon said with an apologetic tone and frown.

Tiffany wanted to say something but Taeyeon prevented her from doing so. "Don't talk. Just listen to me. Please."

Tifany nodded her head but took a hold of Taeyeon's hand, to calm her down. Taeyeon smiled upon seeing Tiffany's little gesture of understanding and comfort.

"Tiffany, I'm sorry for hurting you in the past. I'm sorry for making you cry. I'm sorry for making you wait for me. I'm sorry for being a jerk, a and an to you. I'm so sorry for everything that I have said or done to hurt you." Taeyeon then gently grabbed Tiffany's hand and finally looked into Tiffany's eyes.

"However, what I said earlier...it wasn't a lie. I hope that you believe that at least." Taeyeon said in a gentle and desperate tone.

"Taeyeon-"

Taeyeon hushed her. "Wait. Before you say anything, I want you to know that I completely understand if you don't believe me or if you wont' forgive me." Silence. "You can talk now."

 Silence followed after Taeyeon spoke those words to Tiffany. Both were just looking at each other, thoughts and emotion running around in places. Tiffany was speechless. Taeyeon had said more than she expected. She was take aback by Taeyeon's confession but she was deeply happy.

Taeyeon took the silence as a rejection. "It's fine. I understand. I'll take you home." Taeyeon faked a smile and left. However, she just took few steps before Tiffany held her wrist to stop her. 

"Turn around." Tiffany demanded but Taeyeon refused. 

"Look. I understand how you're feeling now. Let's just go."

"No. You don't. Turn around now." Tiffany raised her voice. Taeyeon sighed and reluctantly turned around, not looking at Tiffany.

"Look at me." Tiffany said in a gentle voice. However, Taeyeon just stayed still. So Tiffany raised Taeyeon by her chin so that they were both now looking at each other.

"Tiffany. I don't need you to-"

Tiffany's sudden hug silenced Taeyeon. Taeyeon didn't hug back. She didn't know if she was allowed to or deserved to be hugging Tiffany.

"What-what are you doing?" 

"What does it look like I'm doing?"

"..."

Tiffany silently chuckled to herself before letting go of the hug and faked a serious look. "You say you understand my feelings. Mind telling me what they are?"

"You hate me." It's amazing how those words can come out so easily from Taeyeon's mouth. Perhaps its because that's what she has always heard from people her whole life. People who judge her. People who dislike her. People who are jealous of her. People who..people who leave her. On the other hand, Tiffany froze. Why would Taeyeon have such horrid thoughts? How can Tiffany hate her?

"Why do you say that?"

Taeyeon just kept quiet. 

"I'm talking to you Kim Taeyeon."

"It's nothing." Taeyeon turned back to walk away but was suddenly tackled down onto the grass. Tiffany was hovering over her with both arms on the sides of Taeyeon's head.

"Wh-what are you do-doing?" Taeyeon stuttered but was silenced by Tiffany's finger.  Tiffany then smiled mischievously to Taeyeon.

"I'm going to show you exactly how I feel. And since you alreadly know, don't be surprised." Tiffany stated seductively. Taeyeon gasped and quickly brought her arms up to cover her chest and body.

"Yah-yah!!!We're still too young and- Yah! Don't you dare touch me! I-I..."

Tiffany raised an eyebrow. "You what?" She challenged.

"I'll-I'll..." Taeyeon tried to think of things to say and do that will make Tiffany back off. Suddenly, Taeyeon came up with a solution she knew Tiffany will definitely disagree. Taeyeon then looked at Tiffany, who was still staring back at her with that small smile of victory.

"I'LL KISS YOU!!!!" Taeyeon blurted out her genius idea. Genius? Really? Apparently, it worked because Tiffany suddenly stiffened and her smirk disappeared. Tiffany now looked at Taeyeon blankly.Taeyeon huffed a sigh of relief. Finally, all Taeyeon has to do now is slowly remove Tiffany's arm and she will be free from Tiffany's clutches and-

Listen Lady Antellbellum- Just a Kiss: http://www.:youtube.com/watch?v=SQQWQpbrmco (start at 0:53)

"I'll take your challenge." Taeyeon opened her eyes in shock and was going to protest but she got silence by Tiffany's lips on hers. Taeyeon was shocked and surprised. Tiffany is actually kissing her! Right now!! Eekkk!! Taeyeon was caught in the moment and slowly wrapped one arm around Tiffany's waist as she used her other hand to gently push Tiffany's head closer so that the kiss can be deepened. 

Tiffany felt it. She could feel Taeyeon's love, passion, and sincerity as they kissed. And she was sure...that Taeyeon felt the same thing. The kiss lasted a while until Tiffany broke the kiss to catch her breath. She was panting and looked down at Taeyeon with a warm and loving smile. She then tucked a hair behind Taeyeon's ear.

"Do you think I still hate you?" Tiffany asked and showed off her eyesmiles. Taeyeon responded by pushing Tiffany so that she was now laying on the bottom while Taeyeon was on top.

Taeyeon smiled at Tiffany, showing off her 'byuntae' trademark smile. " I don't know. Let's kiss again to find out." Taeyeon leaned back down but her lips were blocked by Tiffany's fingers.

"I'm serious Tae-tae." Tiffany said in between giggles. Taeyeon chuckled before turning serious again.

"No. I think you feel the same way I do. Is that true?"

Tiffany blushed and started to play with the buttons on Taeyeon's shirt. "Say it again."

"Huh?" Taeyeon was confused wiht Tiffany's request. "Say what again?"

Tiffany sighed and looked up at Taeyeon with her brown orbs. "Your confession to Sunny."

Taeyeon relaxed. Now she knew what Tiffany meant. "The one where I coolly, and in a very y manner, tell her my true feelings toward you?"

Tiffany nodded.

"Then will you kiss me?" Taeyeon teased.

"Yah!" Tiffany hit Taeyeon lightly on her shoulder.

"I'm just kidding. Gosh." Taeyeon then stopped and caressed Tiffany's cheeks, while Tiffany enjoyed every loving touch Taeyeon gave her. "I, Kim Taeyeon..." Taeyeon began while Tiffany held her breath. Taeyeon leaned closer now, both faces were only inches apart.

"...love Tiffany Hwang." Taeyeon finished and pecked Tiffany's lips again. Tiffany was overwhelmed with happiness and her heart was beating fast from hearing Taeyeon's confession again.

"Whoa! I guess my heart isn't the only one beating fast." Tiffany looked down and saw Taeyeon was alreadly listenign to her heartbeat. 'When did she get so close to my chest?' Tiffany thought to herself.

Tiffany pushed Taeyeon. "Byuntae!!" She smiled. Taeyeon shrugged and just pecked Tiffany's cheeks again. "You're mine Kim Taeyeon." 

"Only for you and all for you." Tiffany gave Taeyeon her eyesmile after hearing Taeyeon's sweet statement. And with just a kiss, Taeyeon made sure she sealed the night another kiss under the moonlight. Tiffany won. Tiffany has helped Taeyeon believe in love again and now holds Taeyeon's heart. In return, Taeyeon has made a vow: to protect her Goddess and their newfound love.
