~ The place we went together, it’s my merry-go-round. My memory is still fresh with this appearance, always…

“Hello?” Taeyeon picked up her phone with her free hand, whilst she kept the other on the steering wheel

“So Taeyeon. I heard you’re giving Tiffany a chance” Yuri chuckled through the phone. “Whatever happened to ‘never get close to a human’?”

Taeyeon rolled her eyes

“Just for the record she doesn’t have a chance. I just thought that this would be something that could pass time easier. After Christmas though, I doubt she’ll still like me” Taeyeon answered bluntly

“Omo” Yuri faked a gasp before giggling. “You’re so heartless Tae~” Yuri teased

“I have a heart. I choose not to use it” Taeyeon replied as she stopped at a red light

“Well just for the record, I’m siding on Tiffany with this game. Yoona too” Yuri said seriously

Taeyeon raised her eyebrow unconsciously

“May I ask why you’re choosing her over me, your LEADER” Taeyeon emphasized

“Well for the record, LEADER, if it weren’t for Tiffany you would’ve abandoned us. This is a little pay back for that. Don’t worry we’ll still follow you, just we’ll be helping Tiffany along the way” Yuri chuckled

Taeyeon gritted her teeth as the light turned green and she made a left turn

“Was that all you wanted to call for? I’ll be hanging up if there’s nothing else” Taeyeon said through her teeth

“Oh and…” Yuri said urgently before pausing

“And…?” Taeyeon urged on

“Yoona’s persona is stuck I think. Dark Yoona’s been activate for quite a while and no matter how much ice cream I offer she declines it” Yuri whispered through the mic of the phone

“Have you tried teasing her? Making her laugh?” Taeyeon asked as she pulled up to her house

“Tried it. Doesn’t work”

“Offered her anything she wants to eat? Skipping competition? Speed racing?” Taeyeon said indifferently as she tried to find her house key

“Been there, done that” Yuri faked a yawn

“Have you tried turning her on and off?” Taeyeon chuckled as she stuck her key into the keyhole

“Yeah I… Wait… Yah!” Yuri  yelled through the phone

“Were you even listening to me in the first place?” Taeyeon raised her shoulder to keep the phone in place as she took off her jacket and put it on the rack

“I was. I told you I tried everything. Dark Yoona’s been raging at my game console for the past half hour, cussing like a sailor at that too” Yuri sighed

Bubz immediately came bounding up to Taeyeon and greeted her by standing on its hind legs and reaching for her

Taeyeon bent over and patted its head and smiled

“She’s at your place right?” Taeyeon asked Yuri

“Yeah… Why you visiting?” Yuri asked curiously

Taeyeon looked at Bubz and smiled even wider

“Yeah, I’ll be visiting. Don’t go anywhere” Taeyeon said sternly

“I don’t think we’ll be going anywhere. Yoona’s busy beating up 2D characters and it doesn’t look like she wants to stop” Yuri chuckled. “But wow, THE Kim Taeyeon is visiting us. Leader of the pure-bloods is visiting my house. I wonder if I should be honoured” Yuri teased

Taeyeon knew Yuri was just teasing but yet she still tensed up

“Should be. Clean up your house while you wait. I’m not cleaning it for you again” Taeyeon said before hanging up on the phone

She then turned her attention to the dog who was lying flat on its back, wanting a tummy rub

“We’re going for a little visit. Go fluff up your fur, or whatever it is you need to do” Taeyeon chuckled as she clicked her fingers

Bubz immediately sat up and ran to its toy stack and pulled out a squeaky toy bone. He bit into once, letting the loud squeak echo through the room.

Taeyeon laughed at her unique pet as she went to get some dog snacks and a collar.

“I can’t believe I’m actually going to reveal you to those two” Taeyeon muttered under her breath as she put everything into a bag

She then walked pass a photo of her with Yuri and Yoona and paused in front of it.

“Chodings” Taeyeon chuckled before proceeding to the door, clapping her hands to signal Bubz to follow

Bubz immediately ran up to Taeyeon and jumped into her open arms.

Taeyeon, with Bubz in her arms, closed and locked her doors and heading for her car. As she turned away from her door she bumped into Gikwang again

“Ew. Dirty mutt” Gikwang said as he looked at Bubz

Bubz growled at Gikwang before letting out a loud threatening bark

Taeyeon just smirked

“His bite is worse than his bark by the way” Taeyeon warned as she walked straight pass Gikwang

“Where are you going?” Gikwang asked curiously

Taeyeon just shrugged

“None of your concern” Taeyeon said bluntly before entering her car and driving off

Gikwang stood there with a frown on his face as he watched Taeyeon drive away.

“Well there goes my excuse” Gikwang groaned as he walked into the night

 

-Knock knock knock-

“Coming” Yuri called from behind the door

“Bubz stay for a while okay. Shhhh” Taeyeon whispered to Bubz as he hid in the bag on Taeyeon’s back, having an opening so that he won’t suffocate

“Oh Taeyeon” Yuri greeted as the door flew open

Taeyeon just raised her eyebrow at Yuri and walked pass

“Tsk. Still haven’t changed yet” Yuri muttered

Taeyeon just chuckled quietly as she walked into the lounge room where Yoona’s eyes were fixed onto the screen as her fingers smashed the buttons of the game controller

“Have you thought of buying a wii? It will prevent button smashing” Taeyeon said as she nodded her head towards Yoona

Yuri just shrugged

“I don’t see any point in trying to get fit.” Yuri lifted up her shirt and poked her stomach. “This is the fattest it gets and also the skinniest”

Taeyeon just rolled her eyes as she gently set her bag on the couch and sat next to Yoona

“Yoona. Snap out of it” Taeyeon said tiredly as she watched the TV screen

Yoona didn’t flinch

“Dark Yoona has taken over” Yuri sighed from behind

Taeyeon stood up and stood in the way of Yoona’s view of the TV.

“Snap out of it before I make you carry the couch by yourself. WITH me and Yuri on it” Taeyeon smirked as she pointed to the couch

Yoona just shot Taeyeon a glare and shuffled to the side, focusing on her game again.

Taeyeon then told Yuri to come closer and stand next to her, blocking Yoona’s way again.

Yoona just growled under her breath as she shuffled right beside Taeyeon’s bag and continued playing

“Bubz. Attack!” Taeyeon suddenly said as she pointed to Yoona

Yuri looked at Taeyeon worriedly, with her eyes wide open.

“What are you doing?” Yoona said coldly as she stared up at Taeyeon

“Punishing you” Taeyeon shrugged

Just as Yoona was about to ask, something wet was on the side of her cheek

“Omo!” Yuri exclaimed as she saw a white fluffy animal climb onto the lap of Yoona and started her face

Yoona froze as she smelt the putrid smell of Bubz’s saliva all over her face. She focused on the black nose of the dog right against her cheek, hearing nothing but Bubz’s panting noises, seeing nothing but a black nose and smelling nothing but horrid dog’s breath

“What is this?!” Yoona yelled as she quickly stood up

Taeyeon quickly moved to catch Bubz before he could get injured

“Oi watch it will you?” Taeyeon shot Yoona a quick glare as she held Bubz in her arms

Yuri was still standing on the side, admiring the white fluffy thing in Taeyeon’s arm

Yoona used her sleeve to wipe the wet marks on her cheeks in disgust

“What did you do?!” Yoona growled as she looked at Taeyeon

Her anger slowly started to die down as she saw something moving in Taeyeon’s arms. Bubz’s tail was wagging furiously against Taeyeon’s stomach and it’s pink tongue stood out from the background of white fur. The dark round eyes showed pure innocence as its pointed ears twitched every once in a while

“I’ve brought you a little visitor” Taeyeon chuckled as she held Bubz up

“Awwww” Yuri finally reacted as she moved closer to Taeyeon

Yoona watched from afar, admiring the unstoppable dog in Taeyeon’s hands. Her dark persona slowly began to fade as a smile crept onto her face

“Kyahhhh” Yoona screamed as she ran and took Bubz from out of Yuri’s and Taeyeon’s grasp

Taeyeon and Yuri’s eyes popped open as they saw the white fluff ball disappear from their sight

“His sooo cute” they heard Yoona say from the side

Taeyeon just smiled contentedly as Yuri joined Yoona

“Am I right to assume normal Yoona is back?” Taeyeon asked teasingly

Yoona held Bubz up high and nodded quickly

“Where did you get him? It’s rare to find a dog who won’t bite us” Yoona chuckled as she cuddled Bubz

Bubz gave a short whine as it felt out of breath

“Yah!” Yuri yelled as she hit Yoona on the head. “You’re suffocating it”

Yoona loosened her grip and smiled guiltily. She then stopped and stared at Taeyeon

“Since when did you have a pet?” Yoona asked curiously

Yuri stopped patting Bubz and raised her eyebrow

“Aren’t you supposed to have a soft spot if you have pets?” Yuri added

“Urrr…” Taeyeon opened to give an explanation but nothing came out

A smirk began to grow on Yuri’s and Yoona’s faces. Bubz gave an excited bark and wagged its tail, sensing the atmosphere around him

“I-It’s not what you think…” Taeyeon quickly said

“Oh really?” Yuri chuckled as she checked Bubz’s collar

“Bubz” Yoona read out aloud

Taeyeon gulped as she took a few steps back

“Wow leader. Not only were you planning on abandoning us, you hide stuff like this from us too?” Yoona said accusingly

“Hey I was not abandoning you. I was planning to come back after a hundred… years…” Taeyeon’s voice trailed off

“A hundred?! What did you expect us to do during that time?” Yuri said in a shocking matter

“I don’t know… travel? Make the record for skipping reach 20 years? I don’t know” Taeyeon waved her hands in defeat

Yoona took a seat back on the couch with Bubz laying on her lap and smiled widely

“So what made you stay? If we were right… You should’ve left before Tiffany even got there” Yuri chuckled as she pulled Taeyeon down to sit

Taeyeon awkwardly cleared

“Were you waiting for something? Miss your flight?” said Yoona

Taeyeon didn’t answer

“You couldn’t leave yet, could you?” Yuri said sincerely

“What?! Why couldn’t I leave?” Taeyeon quickly said in a fake shocked expression

“Because you’ll miss us” Yoona answered cheerfully

Bubz gave a bark in response

“See? Even he says so” Yoona chuckled

Taeyeon frowned and turned her head away

“Why would I miss you two?” Taeyeon said bluntly

“Beeecause~ We’re the hottest, iest, greatest beasts you’ve ever seen?” Yuri said hopefully

Taeyeon made a face of disgust towards Yuri

“Beast yeah. The other adjectives… I don’t think so” Taeyeon replied coldly

 “Aww come on Taeyeon. Stop being such a Grinch” Yoona pouted

Taeyeon looked to the side at Yoona and saw Yoona pouting with sorrowful eyes

“Besides you purposely came here and revealed one of your secrets to us in order to help Yoona right?” Yuri nudged Taeyeon’s arm

Taeyeon’s resolve slowly began to break away as she knew she was being cornered

“Just kidding~” Yuri suddenly smiled as she stuck her tongue out

Taeyeon stared at Yuri confusingly, and so did Yoona

“You didn’t stay back because of us. You stayed back because of Tiffany” Yuri winked

Taeyeon gritted her teeth and glared at Yuri

“Tiffany sure has an influence” Yoona added with a nod

“You two seriously!” Taeyeon exclaimed as she slammed her hand against the couch and stood up

The two just gave an innocent pout

“You two are the most annoying people I’ve ever met” Taeyeon growled

Yoona just shrugged

“Either you live with it or not” Yoona smiled

Taeyeon gritted her teeth as she headed for the door

“Taeyeon! What about Bubz!?” Yuri yelled after her

“Babysit him!” Taeyeon called back

Yoona looked through Taeyeon’s bag to see a blanket and a bag of dog food inside it

“Looks like she planned it” Yoona said aloud

Yuri just sighed and slumped back onto the couch

“Hey pass me him for a while” Yuri clapped her hands, waiting for Yoona to pass Bubz to her

Bubz gave a yawn and a whimper as it was passed to Yuri

“His so cute” Yuri said again as Bubz slowly fell asleep in her lap

“So you okay now?” Yuri finally said after Bubz was asleep

Yoona rested her elbow against the arm rest and rested her chin against her hand

“Yeah I guess…” Yoona said slowly

“Want to talk about it?” Yuri offered

Yoona just sighed

“I wish things were the way they were before… well… whatever it is that caused all this” Yoona waved her hands carelessly

“When we were still tutors?”

Yoona nodded

Yuri smiled

“You’re missing SeoHyun aren’t you?” Yuri said sympathetically

Yoona just nodded grimly

“Just wait a little longer. I’m sure Tiffany will sort things out. She knows that we weren’t the ones with the wrong doings so she’ll be able to persuade them.” Yuri smiled

“What about you Yuri?” Yoona suddenly asked

Yuri tensed

“What about me?” Yuri asked innocently

“What’s your view on this? Should we continue keeping in contact with them? You saw Tiffany’s reaction. If I didn’t slap some sense into her, she would’ve probably organized the military to hunt us down already” Yoona sighed

“My view?” Yuri lowered her voice. “I don’t really know. Jessica has more reasons to be mad at me than anyone else…”

“Why don’t you try talking to her then?” Yoona suggested

Yuri shook her head

“And say what? Hey Jessica guess what, I’m not human and that I’m about a hundred years old?” Yuri said sarcastically

Yoona chuckled

“I’d love to see that”

Yuri rolled her eyes

“What are we going to do tomorrow?” Yuri pondered

“College. We have an image to keep up you know”

“Yeah but what are we going to DO there? I know every nook and cranny of that old place” Yuri frowned

“We have to teach Tiffany remember?” Yoona smiled

“Ohhh right. That” Yuri nodded

“Well where should we start with her?” Yuri asked

Yoona shrugged

“Just let her ask the questions” Yoona replied dimly. “Should we tell her about Taeyeon’s past though? If she ever asks that is…”

Yuri shook her head sternly

“Best not to. Last thing we want is for Tiffany to be trying to be like Miyoung. The fact that she looks like her is enough already” Yuri chuckled

“Well we should put Bubz to bed. Taeyeon would probably kill us if we didn’t look after it” Yoona said as she nodded her head towards the sleeping dog in Yuri’s lap

Yuri just nodded as she carefully carried Bubz to the couch and put a blanket over him

“His so cute” Yuri squealed again

Yoona just smiled as she walked to the door

“See you tomorrow Yuri.” Yoona called out

“See ya” Yuri replied as Yoona exited the house

 

 

 

“Taeyeon’s gone somewhere so that left me with nothing to do” Gikwang groaned as he stood before the figure

“Well instead of provoking Taeyeon and making her even madder, why don’t you find a way to get her back?”

“What do you expect me to do? I already gave her the diary, what else is there that I can do to make her come back to us?” Gikwang complained

“Well THINK of something” the figure growled

“Well if we had a certain SOMEONE help. You’re not the leader yet so you have no right to tell the others what to do. No one listens to you besides me because I’m probably the only one who even talks to you. Great leader you’re going to be” Gikwang said sarcastically

“My cover will be blown if she sees me. It will cause a lot more trouble. I will reveal myself to her once she hands over the leader role.”

Gikwang sighed

“Can’t you wait another fifty years? It’s not like you’re getting any older”

“I think I’ve waited for some time now. Trying to make others not suspect me isn’t an easy task to do. The low class immortals mustn’t know that I’m a pure blood either. It will cause a lot of ruckus and my chances to get Taeyeon to return will drop”

Gikwang face palmed himself

“Screw the Legion’s leader system” Gikwang muttered

“Keep an eye for that Tiffany girl. She might come in handy later” the figure finished off

“Whatevers. I’d rather be doing something better with my time” Gikwang grumbled as he walked off

“Things are going to fall in place soon” the figure whispered as they grasped their hands into a fist
