Sitting alone at McDonald with a broken heart was no fun. Her gut told her to turn her phone on. Tiffany must be worried sick right now. It wasn’t fair for her. She didn’t do anything. Punishing Tiffany for her father’s deed was not right.
And yet, she couldn’t do it. She was afraid she’d end up screw everything even more.
Taeyeon pulled out the small red box from her bag as she stared at it. She opened it, inspecting the engraving of their name at the inner side. The diamond wasn’t huge, she couldn’t afford a bigger stone but it was gorgeous.

“Really? I thought you wanted to marry her?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Did? What do you mean did?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“Of course it is not! Marriage is a big deal, you don’t decide it over a night and you certainly don’t cancel it in an instant!”
