"I can't take this anymore

I keep falling deeper and deeper

Let me breathe."

“Taeyeon-ah…” The soft voice took Taeyeon’s breath away. She jerked her head up to face the voice’s owner. Your voice is the greatest melody of my life.

A pair of eyes formed into crescents, locking her gaze and she lost another chance to breathe. Even the moon loses its beauty because of your eye-smile. A toothy grin plastered on the flawless face. Taeyeon held her breath. Nothing is perfect but you.

“Thanks for the dinner.” A gentle tap on her arm sent shivers down to her spine.

“You’re welcome, Fany-ah.” A shy grin was drawn on Taeyeon’s face.

Tiffany’s hand reached the doorknob but did not open it yet. “Are you okay?”

Still smiling, Taeyeon gave a nod as an answer. How can I be okay if this feeling keeps growing and suffocates me?

“I will see you tomorrow. Get enough rest, okay?”

Another timid nod answered Tiffany.

Tiffany smiled at the cute response and leaned forward, planting a soft kiss on the cheek. “Good night.”

Time stopped and Taeyeon was barely breathing.

A soft chuckle was heard followed by the sweet voice. “Breathe, Taetae.”

How can I breathe?

“Fany?” 

This feeling is suffocating.

“Yes?”

I need to breathe.

“I like you.”

Please let me breathe.

The silence engulfed them.

“I thought you would never say that.”

What do you mean, Fany?

“Hmmm...”

That’s all?

“So, what’s next?”

Taeyeon put her last breath into the sentence. “B-be mine?”

“Yes.”

And with that simple ‘yes’, Taeyeon could finally breathe again.
