Chapter Five

Taeyeon stopped talking and focused his gaze in front of him. Meanwhile, Tiffany’s gaze was focused on Taeyeon’s pretty eyes. It was like he was born with a perfect genes of billionaires, giving him a slightly evil and dangerous aura.

"The way you're looking at me...are you inviting me to kiss you? hug you? or..."

Tiffany held in her nervousness. She reached out her hand and grabbed onto Taeyeon’s arm trying to avoid his passionate gaze. "Before we go to our new home, could you accompany me somewhere first?"

"After we go, can we finish off what we didn't finish last night? huh?"

Taeyeon was questioning her casually, but Tiffany couldn't hide her nervousness because deep down she knew she may not be able to gather the same amount of courage she had the previous night. Taeyeon did not pressure her, nor did he continue to speak. He just allowed her to continue holding onto his arm as he let out a sneaky smile.

The two of them didn't end up heading straight home as per Tiffany’s request. Instead they ended up at a famous cherry blossom forest. This was a place Tiffany had frequently met Nichkhun, for their dates.

However, today, she was going to remove him completely from her heart. So, in the end, she finally picked up her phone, "I am at the cherry blossom forest, where we always met on our dates. If you still want to see me, then meet me there...see you there."

"OK, I will come right away." Nichkhun agreed immediately. Even though he was having an affair with Hyuna, he never intended on giving up on Tiffany. Where was he going to find another woman that was so easy to trick?

Plus, all along she had been loyal to him, she had a good family background and she had a good temper.

Tiffany hung up and looked over at Taeyeon who was sitting opposite her. With an honest but choked up voice she promised, "This is the last time I will speak to him on the phone regarding our personal feelings. From now on...never again."

Taeyeon lifted his eyebrows. Without a word, he patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Tiffany to sit beside him; giving off a sense of possession.

Tiffany obediently sat beside him. The two of them looked out the window of the restaurant at the scene below. Not long after, an anxious figure appeared beneath the cherry blossom tree.

Nichkhun had arrived!

So many times, in the past had she stood in the same spot Nichkhun was currently standing in, naively waiting all day. 5 out of 10 times she would be stood up. Thinking about it now, the sincerity she had shown was so easily stepped all over, so...

...being stood up, being played around with, being betrayed...she wanted Nichkhun to experience it all.

"Will this really relieve your hatred?" Taeyeon asked with one arm over Tiffany’s shoulder as he looked at the figure below them.

"Of course not, but I want him to experience everything I went through, no matter big or small!"

Taeyeon reached out his long fingers and grabbed hold of Tiffany’s chin. Looking into her eyes, he saw a delicate woman, yet, when she was faced with emotional pain, she could deal with things so cleanly; she ended things quickly like she said she would without an ounce of pretense.

"When ordering, I ordered some Lobster. The waiter said it had come directly from France, I thought it would be quite good."

Taeyeon released her from his grasp and let out a surprised smile, "How did you know I like it?"

"It's not hard to find out my husband’s preferences." Tiffany gestured for the waiter to start serving their dishes, "Let's eat while we chat."

Taeyeon looked at her pink and soft, rose-like thin lips. His gaze revealed a trace of danger, "But...I don't want to chat, I just want to...kiss you!" he thought

Who said he was the entertainment industry's poison? Obviously...the woman in front of him also carried traces of poison, that was unknowingly addictive.

Downstairs, Nichkhun was still standing in the same spot. While, upstairs in the restaurant, Tiffany and Taeyeon were enjoying their meal. Tiffany didn't like speaking to Taeyeon about her work and he understood. After helping Tiffany twice, he saw her handle things smoothly this time on her own. This woman sure isn't weak.

However, even though she wasn't weak, she was still Taeyeon’s wife. As long as she was his wife, he would make sure she would be doing the bullying and not the other way around.

In a flash, one hour had passed. Downstairs, Nichkhun continued to wait even though he was getting impatient. During this time, he continuously tried to call Tiffany, but, Tiffany had already turned off all notifications. Unknown to him, at this moment, in the eyes of Tiffany and Taeyeon, he was like a gatekeeper standing guard under the tree.

Finally, the two finished their meal. Taeyeon took a glimpse downstairs and asked, "Do you want to continue watching?"

"No, I want you to help me move houses."

Taeyeon nodded and quickly paid the bill, then escorted Tiffany out through the side door. Not long after, the couple arrived at Tiffany’s home. However, as Taeyeon was about to enter, Tiffany requested for him to wait outside for 5 minutes. 5 minutes later, as he entered the house, all traces of Tiffany and Nichkhun’s relationship were gone. Tiffany didn't have to remove much, as Nichkhun never stayed over anyway.

"Tae, wait a moment, I am going to pack a few things."

Taeyeon examined Tiffany’s house. He found a huge photo in the living room; it was a photo of Tiffany receiving her trophy for the number one model. If she had never retreated from the industry...she would have already gone international.

5 minutes later, Tiffany reappeared from her bedroom holding a totoro in her arms, "This is all of my possessions."

He chuckled, “Is that…a bear?” Tiffany playfully glared at him, “Nope, it’s a totoro”

Taeyeon raised his hands in defeat. “Your cute,” he smiled charmingly

"You don't want anything else?"

"No, let's leave the memories behind." Tiffany shook her head in certainty. Suddenly, Taeyeon pulled her over to him and pressed down onto her with his cold lips.

At first, Tiffany was surprised, but not long after, she closed her eyes and returned his kiss. It was not until Taeyeon’s hands uncontrollably reached...under her skirt, did the two suddenly stop. "Let's leave the rest for when we get home. But for now, has my kiss made your memories better?"

Tiffany wrapped her arms around Taeyeon. She could feel his calm breaths. From now on, she wasn't going to let anyone hurt her again. She was going to keep what belonged to her, tightly in the palm of her hands.

Back at the cherry blossom tree, Nichkhun had been waiting for four hours. He originally intended to keep waiting, but then...he received a phone call from Hyuna, "Nick, where are you? I am at your home, I can't find you, my stomach is in pain...Babe, why haven't the photos been removed yet? I'm afraid I will be destroyed like this."

Nichkhun woke up in an instant and quickly rushed home. Seeing Hyuna standing pitifully on one foot outside his door, he couldn't help but run up to her. "I won't let you be destroyed and I won't let Horvjk be destroyed."

"Nick, I only have you. Don't leave me and the baby."

Nichkhun comforted Hyuna, patting her gently on her back. That night he forced his staff to release a statement that there were others there at the time. The truth was that Hyuna lost her footing because of her injured right leg and accidentally fell into the arms of Nichkhun with both of them landing on the bed.

It's not like how it appeared in the photos, they weren't kissing on the bed.

Most importantly, at a time like this, Nichkhun still wanted to sacrifice Tiffany by hinting someone was behind all of this and telling the public not to be fooled.

After Nichkhun’s PR news was posted up, he paid out a few influential social accounts to help them clean their reputation. In the next three days he used every method he could to clean up Hyuna’s professionalism and image - again, his intention was to continue throwing the blame on Tiffany.

After all, gossip like this usually only lasted a few days before the public became bored. Once new news gets released, this little scandal would just disappear into the depths of everyone's memories. It wouldn't be long before Hyuna would be able to return to work.

Their plan was to help Hyuna win the Top Ten Model Awards and then announce she would be going overseas to study.

At that time, she could sneakily give birth to their child. The only reason Nichkhun was willing to accept the child was because Hyuna was his first love and she had stayed by his side patiently for many years. On top of everything, Hyuna currently had a promising future, so he wasn't going to give up on this money tree.

Tiffany’s manager had an expression of irony as she looked at the PR news Nichkhun had released. She sneaked over to Tiffany’s home and let herself in since she had the keys, but to her surprise, Tiffany wasn't home.

So, out of uncertainty, she decided to give Tiffany a call, "Tiff, why aren't you home?"

Tiffany was in the middle of filling up a bathtub for Taeyeon. She let out a chuckle, "I haven't had the chance to tell you...I moved houses."

"Where did you move to? Is it safe? Does Nichkhun know?"

Tiffany turned around and looked at Taeyeon who looked incredibly cute and handsome at the same time, had just entered the bathroom. Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by Taeyeon, who didn't realize she was on the phone, "Stuff like this, you should have left it to the maid..."

On the other side of the line, Sunny listened attentively. She heard the voice of a man and immediately asked in a high pitch voice, "Tiffany, who are you with? In order to upset Nichkhun, have you used extreme measures? I knew it, who would give a helping hand to a retreated model during this time of chaos. You...you're really frustrating me, is someone supporting you?"

"Where are you? I'll come get you...you don't need to stoop so low..."

"Where are you? I want to see you right now, or else I'll die!"

Tiffany didn't know what to do. She looked over at Taeyeon as she covered the mouthpiece on her phone and asked for his opinion, "My manager seems to have a misunderstanding regarding my moving houses. So, I need to pop out for a little to explain to her."

"Do you trust her?" In actual fact, Taeyeon had already investigated Sunnt in private. She was Loyal and professional - even though she was often simple-minded and far from being a top manager - but she was loyal to Tiffany and was a helpful person to have around.

"Uh huh."

"Then let me immediately go pick her up."

Tiffany thought about it carefully. She understood what Taeyeon meant and trusted his judgment. She was no longer the Tiffany from the past that would allow others to play games right before her eyes. So, she told Sunny she would be sending someone over to pick her up from her old house.

Sunny sighed, giving off a sense of disappointment.

Tiffany smiled as she hung up. She put down the phone and turned to Taeyeon, "I've filled the bath, are you going to bathe yourself now?"

Taeyeon raised an eyebrow as he re-buttoned his shirt, covering up his attractive collarbone, "We have a guest, the man of the house must be present...most importantly, I want to bathe...with you."

Tiffany blushed, but...nodded shyly.

...

Sunny was extremely frustrated, she felt it wasn't worth it for Tiffany to give up so much for Nichkhun. She especially couldn’t believe that Tiffany had willingly thrown herself at a man when there was obviously no true love in the entertainment industry. Most people in the industry just wanted one night of fun – the next day they would pretend they don’t know each other.

How can she be so silly to take part in something like this?

Sunny was fuming as she walked back and forth cursing under her breath until Choi Sooyoung arrived at the house and saw Sunny, "If you want to see Miss Hwang, come with me."

Sunny was familiar with Kim Taeyeon, however…she didn’t recognize Choi Sooyoung at all. So, she wasn’t very friendly towards him. She lifted her leg and gave him a kick, "If anything happens to my precious Tiffany, I will paralyze both you and your boss."

Sooyoung held his tidy hairstyle in place, the sudden kick made it hard for him to keep his image as his face screwed up in pain, "Let’s not talk about who’s going to paralyze who, come with me first."

Sunny gave a "hmmph", raised her head and glared at Choi as she boarded the car wi
