On the Han trail. . .

Love Epiphany on a cycle . . .

Disclaimer: I only own this fanfic

 

 

 

Stephanie Miyoung Hwang, or as her stage name goes, Tiffany Hwang is a multi talented person. She is good at singing, is a wizard with numbers and anything commerce related and is the unofficial manager of SNSD. And now days, she is even getting better at cooking, thanks to YouTube tutorials and her internal drive to impress her best friend Jessica Jung.

Though the term 'best friend' is highly debatable, considering how much pink Tiffany becomes whenever Jessica praises her cooking.

Or even just a glance or smile from the ice princess of Girls Generation is enough to send Tiffany's heart spinning.

Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, Tiffany Hwang is a multi talented person. But there is one thing she can't do.

She doesn't know how to ride a bicycle.

And Tiffany Hwang is currently 21 years old.

Tiffany Hwang is a 21 year old woman who knows how to drive a car, but she can't ride a bicycle.

Unless it is with training wheels that is.

Do you see how much embarrassing this is? Tiffany Hwang, the proud pink gangsta of SNSD doesn't know how to ride a bicycle.

Tiffany had kept this a well guarded secret from everyone. Only her family knows this eternal shame of Tiffany Hwang. But now, during her promotions for the SNSD, her secret almost came out.

The whole SNSD was required to ride bicycles. And Tiffany not knowing how to even sit on the cycle was forced to run along with her bicycle, while her teammates happily peddled away.

It was ridiculously humorous to see Tiffany running with her bicycle in tow, desperately trying to keep her pace with her biking teammates.

And this instance has happened two times

And both the times, Tiffany came up with excuses to keep her dignity intact.

"I have sprained my wrist! So I can't steer my cycle! And also I am scared, what if my dress skirt lifts up while I ride my cycle? "

"Tiffany, we all are wearing skirts . . .”

"SHUT UP TAEYEON!"

 

"The street is sooooo narrow Taeyeon! What if I crash my cycle in to someone else?! I can't let Jessica get hurt!"

"From where did Jessica come in to this conversation Tiffany?”

"Arrghhh!" I just refuse to ride a cycle in this narrow street Taeyeon! Do we have an understanding!?"

 

Tiffany quite cleverly managed to keep her nonexistent cycling skills a secret. Her members were a bit bewildered over Tiffany's absolute refusal to even sit on a cycle, but they ultimately bought her excuses.

After all, it’s not like a twenty one year old Tiffany Hwang did not know how to ride a cycle! That would be unbelievable! Everyone knows how to cycle.

But Tiffany didn't take in to account one particularly observant member, who even though sleeps half the time, somehow always manages to keep a careful eye on her pink loving teammate.

.

.

.

Jessica Jung could not be fooled by Tiffany’s lame lies. She knows that whenever her fellow American says something that is not true; her voices pitch slightly increases, her left eye brow twitches, among many other minute details that Jessica's laser sharp eyes have noted down.

Don't ask why Jessica observes Tiffany so much. She herself is in a denial over it.

I am just worried for that clumsy pabo! She can fall over even thin air! It's not like I have a crush on her or something! Who would like that pink obsessed girl who has a beautiful eye smile that rivals the moon itself, who's husky smooth voice dissolves just like dark chocolate in my ears, who's cooking even though tastes like burnt coal but is still tasty somehow, who's . . .

DAMN IT! STOP SINGING PRAISES TO THAT PABO!

Oh yes, where were we? Right, so Jessica knows that Tiffany is lying through her teeth about cycling. The girl clearly doesn't know how to ride a cycle. No one in their right mind comes up with such exaggerated excuses to avoid sitting on a cycle.

She wondered how her rest of the teammates got convinced by Tiffany's silly excuses.

But then, she can't blame them. A twenty one year old woman not knowing how to ride a cycle is blasphemy.

But Jessica has observed -stalked- Tiffany enough to see through the girl's lies. And also through Tiffany's embarrassment and shame over her inability to ride a cycle.

And Jessica wanted to remedy this. She doesn't like it when the always smiling angel of SNSD is sad.

And so, Jessica Jung decided to take up the challenging task of teaching Tiffany how to cycle.

.

.

.

"Jessi, why did you wake me up at four in the morning?"

Tiffany yawned loudly as she got up from her dorm bed, rubbing at her eyes cutely. Jessica resisted the urge to pinch the girl's cheeks and go all 'aigoo' on her.

No Jessica! Control your wiggling fingers! This is no time to fawn over how cute Tiffany is! You need to teach her an important life lesson!

Jessica pushed Tiffany out of her room quietly, not wanting to disturb a sleeping Taeyeon. She shoved Tiffany in to a bathroom's shower stall ignoring all her sleepy protests and did something that she wished Tiffany would forgive her for.

She the shower in its coldest temperature and watched Tiffany shriek loudly when the ice cold water hit her skin.

Jessica refused to admit that a sopping wet Tiffany in a knee length pink night dress -which was sticking oh so deliciously on her skin, showing all her curves- was making her heart hammer in her chest.

I am just scared about how I will get Tiffany on a cycle! That's why my heart is beating so fast! It's not like I am by how hot Tiffany is looking under a shower. Nope! Nada! No sir!

Jessica shook her head. She doesn't have time for inner monologues. She needs to get Tiffany in the place she has decided ASAP. Jessica only has till 6 AM for her first -of many- cycling lessons.

So, when Jessica was sure that Tiffany is sufficiently awake now, pulled a grumbling Tiffany out of her cold shower and gave a wide eyed Tiffany cycling clothes and gear which were all in pink, Jessica made sure of that before ordering online.

Tiffany looked at Jessica with confusion "Jess, what's all this?”

"Get dressed in this, and meet me outside. We are going to Hanyang cycling trail." Jessica glared at Tiffany so hard that Tiffany didn't even bother to put up a single protest, frantically nodding.

Satisfied, Jessica went outside, leaving Tiffany alone in the bathroom.

Tiffany looked down at the items in her arms.

A pink winter edition bike jersey, black with pink stripes running shorts, cycling gloves, shoes and socks, knee and elbow guards and a pink helmet.

Tiffany was known as the densest member of SNSD, but even she can put two and two together.

Jessica somehow knows I can't ride a cycle . . . Is she going to teach me how to?

Tiffany doesn't know whether to jump in joy or go crawl in a hole.

It really warmed her heart to now that Jessica cares for her enough to notice her lack of cycling and do something about it. Its shows how much Jessica cared for her.

It gave her love sick heart a ray of hope, that maybe Jessica likes her back.

But at the same time, there is a reason why Jessica is known as 'Sergeant Sica’. She is a bona-fide slave driver, who really knows how to get her work done with those 'icy glares of death' she specializes in. Tiffany really didn't want to be on the receiving end of that the glare.

But Jessica was clearly putting in so much effort for her. She even woke up at 4 in the morning, just to teach her the art of cycling.

Tiffany felt rock candies bursting in heart as she smiled softly, looking at the items in her hands.

She got them in pink. You are so thoughtful, Jessi.

Tiffany started to strip down and dress in the clothes and gear she was given. She was determined to learn cycling under Jessica, no matter how much she really wanted to bury herself in her comfy bed and sleep away the autumn morning.

I won't let you down Jessi.

.

.

Tiffany was adjusting the strap of her pink helmet as she stared at the Han River before her. It was still pitch dark, the only source of the light being the full moon shining in the starry sky of Seoul, on the isolated cycling trail of Han River.

While Tiffany was admiring how beautiful Han River looked with moonlight gently dancing on its waters, Jessica Jung was busy taking out a pink folding cycle with low seat and a matching set of training wheels from her white Audi A3.

She unfolded the cycle, and started to attach the training wheels to the back wheel of the cycle. Her eyes strained in the silver moonlight, her hand faltering a few times while screwing the bolts with her screw driver.

Damn it! This seemed so easy in that YouTube video!

Jessica was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice Tiffany looking at her with adoration in her eyes.

She got me a cycle too, and just look how hard she is working. I bet she didn't ever touch a screw driver in her posh rich life. But now here she is, trying to attach training wheels just so that she can teach me how to ride a cycle.

You are so easy to love Jessi . . .

Jessica, unknown to the loving gaze directed at her, finally finished tinkering with the cycle. She stood up, wiping the sweat off her brow and checked if the training wheels are tight and firm.

Hmm, seems like it is ready to go. Great job Sooyeon! You deserve a pat on your back!

After putting away her screwdriver in the car, she turned towards a smiling Tiffany.

Jessica's throat went dry when she saw Tiffany in her a tight running shorts, nicely sticking to her mile long legs.

God . . . I want those legs wrapped around my waist, while I . . .

"Ummm, Jessi? Can I ask you something?"

Jessica immediately snapped her eyes up towards a shy looking Tiffany.

STOP BEHAVING LIKE A HORMONAL TEENAGED BOY! THAT'S YOUR BEST FRIEND'S LEGS YOU ARE STARING AT!

Jessica cleared to get the dryness away "Sure Tiff, fire away. But don't take too long. We need to be back at dorm by 6 AM."

Tiffany nodded, understanding why it was necessary to not stay here late, even though all she wanted to do was stay here with Jessica near the beautifully serene Han River for all eternity.

"How did you . . ." Tiffany fidgeted, her index fingers twiddling together in nervousness "know that I can't ride a . . ."

"Bicycle?" Jessica chuckled, her hand scratching the back of her neck "Well you are a horrible liar Tiff. And your excuses were as transparent as a crystal clear glass." She dropped her hand back besides her side "It's a miracle that the others bought your explanation."

Tiffany pouted, her eyes lightly glaring at Jessica "I am not that transparent! You are just good at reading me Jessi!"

Jessica blushed "Whatever! Anyway, enough chit chat!"

Jessica put on her 'Sergeant Sica' face, scaring the living daylight out of Tiffany.

I swear, if I can get out of this ordeal alive I will confess to Jessica! So please keep me alive Jesus Christ!

Suddenly, cold winds started to blow, making Jessica wrap her brown leather jacket closer to her body, and rubbed her palms together to generate some heat.

Damn! I got to bring some warm gloves with me next time, it's so frigging cold! Wait! Tiff must be shivering! She is just wearing running shorts! I should have ordered a full running winter slacks instead. What was I thinking? It's the autumn season!

Jessica's guilt increased when she saw Tiffany's legs shivering a little. But Tiffany noticed the expression on Jessica and immediately consoled her.

"It's k Jessi! I will get warm once I start cycling."

Jessica looked unconvinced but nodded nonetheless. She resolved to buy winter slacks for Tiffany as soon as she gets to their dorm.

"OK then, let's start our first lesson Tiff!" Jessica grabbed the pink cycle's handles and dragged it near where Tiffany is standing.

Jessica waved her hand towards the cycle as she started to describe the first lesson "Tiff today you are just going to peddle the cycle ok? I want to see how you are able to push the peddles. And don't worry about falling down; the cycle has training wheels attached to it"

Tiffany grinned her most brilliant eye smile to Jessica as she grabbed the handles from Jessica "I know you won't ever let me fall Jessi!"

The blonde girl just stared at the glowing face of Tiffany. The moonlight made that smile even more radiant. Even though Tiffany was looking kind of funny wearing that bright neon pink helmet, Jessica still can't help but feel her heart beat thudding rapidly in her chest.

The sheer, honest adoration and devotion present in that crescent-eyed, smiling face gave an instant love epiphany to Jessica.

All her denial shattered into a million pieces in front of that trusting smile.

Jessica smiled at Tiffany softly, surprising her. Tiffany had expected a blushing tsundere Jessica. "You are right, I will never let you fall" She whispered softly as she leaned closer towards a blushing Tiffany over the bar handles.

"J-Jessi . . ." Tiffany stuttered, her heart beating a mile per second over the close proximity with Jessica. She could feel hot breathing of Jessica on her trembling lips. Just one more inch and their lips would touch.

Something Tiffany had desperately wanted ever since she laid her eyes on Jessica.

But neither Jessica nor Tiffany leaned in to cover that one inch gap. It didn't feel right somehow. They both needed to confirm something first. And so both the girls just kept staring deeply in to each other's eyes, as the moon in the night sky kept raining silver beams on them.

Jessica's face was a rare soft expression right now, something that is only shown to her family. But now Tiffany is among the lucky ones to behold the sweet curve of Jessica's lips, her caramel eyes completely unguarded, b with love and devotion.

Tiffany felt the air leaving her lungs. Jessica had never been this relaxed and open before her. But in this moment, Tiffany can see the very soul of Jessica.

And that soul was singing love songs to Tiffany. And she heard each word loud and clear.

Jessica's smile got wider when she saw understanding dawn on Tiffany's face. She leaned forward and pressed her forehead gently on Tiffany's forehead.

She has given up. Jessica knew that she loved this girl, always has ever since the pink obsessed girl screamed "American Girl!" loudly to her face. Being in anymore denial would only hurt both of them.

Because Jessica knows Tiffany returns her feelings as well. Or why else would she look at her with such open longing in her eyes?

Jessica was a blind idiot to only notice it now.

"Let's get started, shall we?" Jessica softly whispered in to the silent sounds of the flowing river.

Tiffany rubbed her nose affectionately on Jessica's making the blonde giggle. Tiffany could feel the vibrations of that laugh on her lips. It sent a shiver down her spine.

"Yes Jessi, let's begin."

The girls understood the hidden implications of these words.

Tonight would be a new beginning for both of them.

No words were needed to be said. Jessica and Tiffany always understood each other. They don't need words.

Both of them leaned in, and covered the one inch gap.

Only the moonlit Han River was a witness to the kiss between them.

.

.

.

"Hi Jessi, let's go cycling together alongside Han River once I learn how to ride a bicycle!"

"Sure Tiff, once you are able to cycle without the training wheels."

"You are mean Jessi! You know I am trying hard. I am just scared, what if I. . . ."

"I will keep a hand on the cycle until you learn how to balance yourselves on your own Tiff! Just like how I always have your back!"

"Promise you won't let me fall Jessi?"

"I will keep holding you until you are able to ride on your own Tiff. . . Always."

 

 

 

 

And that’s a wrap!

Chapter 1: Waah.. so much fluff in here. Jessi is so cool and sweet, and a bit erted all in all. Did Tiff learn how to ride the bike? I laughed a lot at the amount of pink in this one. Now that I think about it, they're like strawberries and cream. Pink + white and sweet ^^
