13.




Jessica looked at Yuri expectantly.

'Tiffany collapsed at the sidewalk. She's been brought to the hospital.'

'Has she found Taeyeon yet?'

'Is she with Taeyeon??'

Yuri shook her head. 

'I don't think so.'

'Taeyeon would've called. But that wasn't her. It's the hospital.'

'I'm gonna go and see Tiff now. Shall I drop you off-'

'I'm coming with you. And that midget has got to be there.'

Yuri was surprised with the determination and enthusiasm that is embodied in the latter. 

She can't help but to form a smile thinking of Jessica.

With Yuri's amazing and death-threatening biking skills, it is no wonder that they made it to the hospital within minutes and Yuri receiving a hell wrath from Jessica.

'Do you want me to land in bed next to Tiffany, you idiooooottt!!??!'

Though they made it to the hospital with a speed of lightning, Yuri and Jessica managed to get to Tiffany after a good 15 minutes as Yuri had quite a hard time calming down hell-Sica.

Tiffany was still unconscious.

So all they could do was to wait outside.

'Hey, call Taeyeon and tell her that Tiff's been hospitalized.'

Yuri nudged the girl who's falling asleep right next to her.

Jessica nodded, almost forgetting if not for the latter's reminder.

Before she could dial the number, a hand captures her wrist.

'Don't tell Taeyeon what happened between me and Tiff okay. I'd like for them to be open with their feelings.'

Yuri smiled bitterly.

Jessica could only comfort the broken-heart with a smile and a hold of Yuri's delicate hands.

Not long after the call, Taeyeon walked in with quick steps, anxious to know how her wife's doing.

She was relieved to see Jessica, but she was ready to take off knowing Yuri is there to take care of her wife.

Jessica knew her best friend in and out.

'Taeng, stay till at least she's conscious okay?'

Through the two hours that Tiffany was out, Jessica was going back and forth between consoling both Yuri and Taeyeon.

Finally, after the doctor confirmed that Tiffany had woken up from her sleep state, Yuri wasted no time barging into the room, making sure Tiffany is fine.

Seeing that, Taeyeon smiled helplessly to Jessica and slowly made her way out of the duo's sight. 

Jessica knew there's no way now that she could hold Taeyeon back.

In the room, Yuri was clutching the patient's hand hard and using the other hand to the latter's hair.

'Hey, don't scare me like that anymore okay.'

Tiffany could only smile gratefully.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar someone.

They made a quick eye contact when the latter decided to walk away.

Thinking that her eyes are playing tricks on her, she tried to get up and head towards the door.

'What are you doing?!

Just stay in bed. You've not fully recovered yet Tiff.'

'I think.. I.. I saw.. Tae..' She said weakly.

'Let me.. See her..'

'Please.. Yul..' Tiffany asked with tears threatening to fall.


 

---

Taeyeon had already walked quite a distant from the room.

As much as she wanted to stay and made sure Tiffany's health is not in jeopardy, she can no longer witness the interaction her wife is having with Yuri.

She'll stay by her words to Yuri.

She'll let Tiffany be.

With tears streaming down her cheeks, she heard someone screamed her name. 

'KIM TAEYEON!'

She turned.

'Don't you dare walk away from me.'

Tiffany, her wife, was standing in the middle of the corridor, looking straight at her.

Taeyeon stood rooted, following Tiffany's motion, moving towards her.

She wanted to leave, but looking at Tiffany, she can't.

She doesn’t want to.

She wanted Tiffany close.

'Hey.'

'Hi.'

'Going somewhere?'

'Airport.'

'Why?'

'Got a flight to catch.'

'Are you leaving me?'

'I have to.'

'Why?'

'Because I’m in love with you.'

Tiffany's dam of tears flowed freely.

Looking past Tiffany, she saw Yuri and Jessica standing by.

She let out a defeated sigh.

Taeyeon turned to walk away when someone caught her wrist.

In her sobs, Tiffany looked up
