An old truth
The art of youAs she stepped out of the museum, slipping past reporters and critics hoping to catch a glimpse of the many artists who were gathered today, Tiffany's held onto Taeyeon's sleeve, the pair quietly making their way away from the hubbub.
"You seem to know you way around the place," Taeyeon said as they slowed their pace.
"I spent some time wandering around before the exhibition, so I kinda familiarised myself with the building, or at least the first floor," Tiffany laughed softly in response, taking a breath as she looked at the path before her feet, "Seohyun– She told me about yesterday,"
"Oh, that," Taeyeon mumbled, feeling somewhat embarrassed about the little act she put on yesterday.
She didn't receive a single clue from Seohyun about what Tiffany wanted to tell her, but she figured it out, more or less. Tiffany liked her, and she was painfully aware of it, despite not hearing a single word about it from her, because she didn't need to hear anything from her to know that much.

"What the am I saying?"
"Oh, and you want me to model for you?" Taeyeon asked, piecing two and two together, feeling a tad disappointed that she didn't con–
"Yes, but not that look," Tiffany said, Taeyeon being able to feel her hands trembling as they gripped onto her shoulders, "I've seen that look yesterday, it's Disappointment."
"You did?" Taeyeon asked, not knowing she could catch on to her facial expressions so quickly.
