Taeyeon POV

The day after Tiffany came over, it seemed as if everything were back to normal. I had all my tests, which I did okay on. Tiffany and I had resumed our friendship. The only thing that wasn’t 100% normal was my relationship with Sooyoung. We had for sure drifted apart a bit, and that made me sad.
