A.N: I know, I've been missing for a long time, and I'm deeply sorry about that, I don't know when I'll update again, school's killing me! though this ain't much as I only remembered a drabble I read back then and decided to create a Taengsic fic outta it.

_______________

Two bodies snuggled closer together under the confines of blankets, both person's eyes not leaving the screen in front of them , both taking in the scenes that unfolded before them.

"Hey Taengoo?" one called, eyes still glued in front.

"Hmm?" the other hummed as an answer.

"Remember that I love you, no matter what happens okay?"  was her reply as she pulled the older girl closer to her. "I will always wish for your happiness so promise me you'll be happy at every happenings in your life" she continued as she's now caressing the cheek of her lover.

"Where did that come from?" the older but shorter asked as she shifted in bed, sitting up and leaning against the headboard as the brunette beside her followed, leaning her head on the older's shouder. "And no, I won't be happy" she added, earning scrunched brows from the younger. "Cause you'll be here with me, so the correct phrase is 'we'll always be happy'" she ended with a cheeky grin, causing the brunette to let out a chuckle.

"You're so dorky"

"You've been with this dork for almost five years" she retorted. "So, like it or not, I'll stick with you till we grow wringkly" she finished with a kiss on the crown of the younger's head, missing the sorrowful look that flashed on her other half's face.

*******************

"Yul! Tiff!" a certain blonde yelled across the room,fully earning the attentions of the people she called and didn't.

"Hi TaeTae" the on greeted back with eyesmiles as she walked towards Taeyeon with her partner.

"Yo midget" the sun-kissed woman said as she ruffled the shorter's hair when they were close enough.

"What is our dear famous Architect doing here?" Tiffany asked as they pulled Taeyeon out the room, which was actually the editing room for their magazine articles.

"Well, you know that Jessica and I will be having our 5th anniversary next Monday right?" she started, swaying back and forth, causing Yuri to hold her still.

"Yes we know, so?" the black haired woman said. "Gonna work out on a surprise?"

"Actually, I want to propose to her on the same day" she answered  truthfully, causing Yuri to have her jaw slacked open, and Tiffany to give out eyesmiles as she squealed. "I'm here to ask for help from you two, a help to plan better things for the best proposal ever" she added, excitement and hope oozing out from her body - not literally of course.

"What do you have in mind then?" Tiffany asked with undivided attention.

"Actually, I..."

*********************

"Jessica Jung" Taeyeon started as she kneeled on one knee as their friends surrounded the two. They were in the middle of their previous university's soccer field: the place where they first met. It was a fine day, Jessica and her team were playing soccer, when the captain accidentally kicked the ball harder than supposed to be so it went pass the goal and went straight into Taeyeon's head - who was studying, seating on a bench, the rest is history.

Her proposal was simple actually: to call Jessica over to their alma mater,sing to her then ask the question that will bind them, but they made some modifications- to kidnap the woman - as it seemed that she didn't answer Taeyeon's calls, but of course, the older didn't mind it as she knew how busy her lover was. Anyways, Yuri, together with her other friends, namely Yoona and Sooyoung, went over to the brunette's workplace and waited for her to get out of work then 'kidnapped' her.

"I know I'm not a perfect person but I do know you complete me. I know I will make you cry but I promise to make you smile more. I know that we'll have ups and downs but i promise to never leave your side." she stated, smiling as she pulled out a velvet box.

"Will you, Jung Sooyeon marry this dork? to carry her surname? to own her body, heart, and soul? to spend your life with?" she ended, hopefully and lovingly looking into her lover's eyes which was unexpectedly blank.

"I'm sorry" were the first words she uttered since she came, not the usual 'yes' ,and as she let out those words, she turned around, leaving the still shocked Taeyeon still on her knees, tears dripping down her face as she watched the woman of her life walk away farther and farther away as she fianlly disappeared.

****************

"Unnie, Taeyeon unnie's downstairs" her sister, Soojung stated as she opened the door, but didn't receive any sort of response, causing the younger to sigh as she shook her head at the sight before the closed the door.

"Taeyeon unnie" she called the older girl who sat on one of their house's couch, in front of the Jungs.

"I assume she doesn't want to see me?" the blonde asked with a small and sad smile on her stressed face.

"I'm sorry" Soojung mumbled as she went to sit beside her parents.

"What for? It's not your fault. Maybe I just lacked on something, or maybe she didn't like my plain proposal" was what she said, chuckling to herself but her eyes showed pain.

"That's not true!" Soojung let out,slightly shocking the shorter with the sudden volume raise. 'She liked it so much that she retold me what happened almost everyday with a pained and longing expression' she said at the back of her mind.

Taeyeon then stood up, then bowed to her lover's parents. "Mom, Dad, I'll be going now then" she bidded, she was about to turn away but was stopped with Mrs. Jung's voice.

"Dear, I can't stand seeing them like this" she said, obviously talking to her husband who let out a deep sigh.

"Taeyeon, sit down first" he motioned to the young woman who willingly obliged.

The four of them sat there, waiting for the elder Jungs to talk.

"Taeyeon, my daughter is dying" and she was again given a shock at what she just heard.

"C-can you please repeat?" she asked - no, pleaded, hoping to have misheard the piece of information that will affect her life and world.

"She has a heart disorder" Mr. Jung continued. "The doctor already suggested an operation, but sadly, we didn't find a donor" he added, smiling bitterly as she saw the tears of the supposedly strong woman that her daughter loved.

"B-But how come I only h-heard of this now?" she managed to ask with a shaky voice.

"We only knew of it last year" Soojung answered her.

"How much time?"

"Two weeks at most" 

******************

"Great that you could come" Taeyeon said as she eyed her friends around her, all having concerned looks as they saw through the eldest's facade.

"Don't act all cheery on us" Hyoyeon, the group's dancer was the one who voiced it out.

"Yes unnie, that's not healthy" The youngest seconded.

"What is it Tae? We can see that something else is bothering you" Tiffany, who sat beside her on the couch.

"You all really do know me best" she said, shrugging.

"Well duh, we've been together for almost ten years!" Sunny, the shortest of the bunch exclaimed.

"Spill out midget" Sooyoung, the tallest added as she put away the chips that she was munching on earlier - which was a miracle.

The oldest signed, "Jessica's dying" she flatly let out, looking down on her hands which were placed on her thighs.

"What?" Yoona, the second maknae asked.

"She's dying" she repeated, much louder.

"Don't fool us Tae" Yuri said, letting out an awkward chuckle which died down as she saw the seriousness on Taeyeon's now lifted face.

"How?" the maknae asked, eyes glimmering.

"Heart disorder, seems like they didn't find a donor"

"When did you know?" Sunny asked.

"A week ago"

"Why didn't you tell us immediately?!" Tiffany, who was now bawling her eyes out exclaimed.

"I needed to compose myself first you know" she answered with a sad smile.

"How much does she have left?" Hyoyeon asked.

"Till she gets wrinkly" she answered with a grin

"Wha- " Sooyoung stopped when it dawned on her. "Kim Taeyeon don't you ing dare!" she screamed, startling the others as the shikshin rarely shouted or cursed.

"Don't dare what?" Yuri asked with a questioning look then she saw Taeyeon's smile and Sooyoung's defeated expression. "Don't tell me..." she trailed of as she stared at Taeyeon who just grinned larger.

***************

"Girls, what are you doing here?" Jessica asked the girls who just entered her hospital room. "How did you know?" she added, eyes landing on Taeyeon who had a solemn expression on, as she saw that, she immediately looked away.

"Girls" Taeyeon said, the others took it as a cue to give them some alone time. "How are you feeling?" she started as she inched closer.

"Good, when did you know?" Jessica asked, finally looking straight into her lover's eyes.

"Two weeks ago" she answered with her dimpled grin, causing a giggle to escape the other's lips.

"Taengoo, if...if the operation becomes a success-"

"It will be, no doubt"Taeyeon assured, caressing her lover's cheeks.

Jessica gave her a thankful smile. "Can I answer your proposal then?" she asked, hopefully waiting for an answer, but all she got was a soft smile before arms engulfed her in a hug, she then felt the shoulder part of her hospital gown dampen. "Hey, why are you crying? I'll be fine"

"Yes you will" Taeyeon said as she planted a kiss on the other woman's forehead, cheeks, eyes, nose, and lips, which all lasted for a few seconds.

A knock came through the door before it slid open, revealing the surgeon's figure. "Miss Kim" she called, making Taeyeon nod.

"Seems like you need to rest first" she said, holding both Jessica's hands, giving them tender kisses. "I love you. I love you. I love you." she repeated over and over again. "Don't forget that okay?, I always will" then she placed a still enveloped letter on Jessica's hand. "Open that after your operation okay?" making Jessica nod, before she could speak, she again found herself inside a warm hug which she returned. "Don't miss me okay?" Taeyeon said she she reluctantly released Jessica.

The younger shoved the other jokingly, "Who would?" she teased, earning the ahjumma laugh. "I love you too"

The shorter pecked her again on her lips then ruffled her hair. "Goodbye princess" then she was out.

"Tae..." Tiffany called as she walked closer to them.

"Do you really need to-" Yuri followed.

"We talked about this" she sternly replied then she faced her parents who came all the way from Jeonju despite their busy lives.

"Taeyeon-ah" her mother called before she was pulled into a hug, tears wanted to flood out, but she held it all in, not letting a single drop out.

"I'm so proud of you" her father joined the hug, then her siblings.

"Taeyeon unnie" a voice called behind her, there stood the Jungs who had thankful and apologizing gazes, she bowed towards them, keeping up her smile.

"Take care of your sister" she told the younger Jung who now had tears on her cheeks , she then started walking away, before turning to a corridor, she turned around, seeing her families and friends stare at her, she gave out a huge grin that her cheeks began to hurt and waved both her hands - and for the last time, she cried.

Then she thought of the love of her life, oh how she would love to see her smile again. Her mind drifted back to the letter she wrote with passion, love, and hope.

Dear Sooyeon,
  I know I started this letter in a formal way, but hey! you can't blame me! hahaha. By the time you'll be reading this letter, I'm sure that you'll already be safe and sound.
 Sooyeon, I'm sorry. I know, I'm such a jerk for leaving you behind, again, I'm sorry for that, you do know that I love you right? and I know that you love me just as much!
 We promised each other that we'll be together 'till we're wrinkly, and I did keep my promise, I'm there, inside you,alive and beating - wait, that sounded creepy haha. But in all seriousness,you have my heart and you always will,metaphorically and literally, take care of it okay?I don't want anyone else to give you their hearts! So promise me to take care of yourself, though that sounded selfish. But if you want,you can let others in, if it's someone who can give you happiness, go for it, I won't stop you.
 Don't forget my love for you okay? If you're feeling down, just put your paml over your chest, you won't feel alone then, cause I'll be there - and no, I'm not a ert!
I don't intend to make this letter longer, so I'm ending this now.
Mrs. Kim! Mrs. Kim Sooyeon! I love you!

With all the love in the world,
Kim Taeyeon
