[PART 12]

"Sunny-ah, shouldn't you be with Taeyeon?" Shin Hye asked confused when she saw Sunny enter their room alone

"Someone wants to meet her" Sunny replied as she kept the bag on her desk

"The girl majoring in art?" asked Bora curious

"You're right," replied Sunny

Sooyoung breathed heavily.

"You know, I don't have a good feeling with that girl" Sooyoung said while looking out the window

"Hi guys, Tiffany contacted me--.. o-oh, where's Taeyeon?". Now it's Yuri's turn to look for Taeyeon's whereabouts.

"She met Heize" Dara replied lazily

"H-huh?" Yuri's response was confused

“What did you just want to say, Yuri-ah?” Shin Hye asked curiously

"Oh, Tiffany called me. She asked us to stay by Taeyeon's side because of her situation, it might make it difficult for Taeyeon to move” Yuri replied while sitting in her chair.

“But Heize took her away”

"Where to?" Yuri asked

"I don't know" Sunny replied

"I think, Tiffany will not like it if she hear Heize take Taeyeon away" said Sooyoung

“Should we bring her back? After all, the first class will be starting soon” Yuri said

“I think it's better” said Dara 

“Taeyeon unnie, are you okay?” asked Heize when they arrived at the edge of the lake, the girl knelt in front of Taeyeon and looked at Taeyeon worriedly. “I tried to call you, but seems your cell phone is off. I was worried about you after knowing that you were on the cruise ship,” she continued, holding Taeyeon's hands.

"I'm sorry, I lost my cellphone" Taeyeon replied feeling guilty

"I see. Then what about your feet, is it bad? How did it happen?"

"Nah, you don't have to worry. I just sprained it. It will heal quickly. Thanks to Tiffany because when it happened, I was with her"

“A-ahh.. I see” said Heize who looked disappointed, her face turning gloomy

"Why?" Taeyeon asked

"Oh no. That's okay--.."

“I mean, why are you looking for me? Is there something you want to say?” Taeyeon asked curiously

“No, I'm just worried about you and… I miss you too, unnie. A day without seeing you makes me miserable” replied Heize.

Taeyeon was silent in shock.

Heize has often expressed her feelings, but this time Heize was very frank with her feelings for Taeyeon.

For a moment they looked at each other, Taeyeon had not even blinked her eyes. Taeyeon still couldn't believe if Heize said that in front of her, if last time when Heize said her admiration for Taeyeon—the little girl would have responded jokingly. But this time Taeyeon felt it was inappropriate for her not to take Heize's words seriously.

Is Taeyeon happy?

Yes, Taeyeon is happy.

However, her feelings for Heize weren't that great.

“You look skinny, unnie. Are you eating well?” said Heize while tucking Taeyeon's hair into the little girl's ear, making Taeyeon smile stiffly while nodding her head.

“Taeyeon unnie” Heize called softly

"Y-yes?"

“Have you considered your feelings for me?”

Taeyeon was silent again.

She tried to digest all the circumstances and what she was facing right now.

Heize was really waiting for reassurance from her, while her heart didn't move in the direction Heize wanted.

Then, Taeyeon exhaled and rubbed Heize's hands which were still holding hers.

"Heize-ssi" Taeyeon called making Heize look nervous, the girl seemed to have difficulty swallowing her own saliva.

"Yes, unnie?"

“You really want to hear my answer?”

Heize nodded her head “I hope, your answer is as I wish” Heize replied with a smile

"I hope so too, but.. I'm sorry, I can't accept your feelings"

“W-why, unnie? Am I not good enough for you?”

"No, you've been good enough to me. You treat me very well, but no matter how hard you try, my heart can't take it. I'm sorry, Heize-ssi" Taeyeon replied

"Then what about Tiffany? Do you love her?” Heize asked as she stood up, the girl could clearly see that Heize didnt accept her answer, which rejected Heize feelings.

"Why are you discussing Tiffany now?". Taeyeon looks confused

"I know you love her, right?" asked Heize, “I've seen you often watching over her” continued Heize

"You watching me?" Taeyeon asked in disbelief

"If you know Taeyeon loves Tiffany, you should stop chasing Taeyeonnie" Yuri said coldly as she approached the two people and stopped behind Taeyeon's wheelchair.

Yuri who intends to bring Taeyeon back to their class accidentally saw Taeyeon and Heize on the lakeside, the girl also overheard the conversation of the two people. Yuri also decided to watch Heize and Taeyeon from behind the tree and during that time, Yuri had no idea that Heize, who was usually a shy and feminine girl, suddenly looked bolder in front of Taeyeon.

Heize smiled sarcastically.

"Isn't it rude to meddle in other people's business?" ask Heize

“To me, Taeyeon is not someone else. She's my best friend and also my family" Yuri replied unconcerned, "But who are you? Don't you know your position before expressing your feelings to Taeyeon?" Yuri continued who then smiled sarcastically

“Yuri, stop. That's not a good attitude" Taeyeon said trying to stop everything

"You're lucky if I came here" Yuri said, "Everything would be different if Tiffany met you" she continued

"Kwon Yuri" Taeyeon called which sounded like warning her best friend.

Yuri is right. Luckily Tiffany didn't have class today, so she wasn't the one who met them, but Tiffany. If Tiffany was in Yuri's position, Tiffany's words would definitely be more piercing than Yuri's words to Heize. Tiffany's words will be very painful when the girl feels annoyed and disturbed, all the elite members know Tiffany well.

Heize was silent. The girl was offended by Yuri's words.

Yuri managed to make Heize worthless in front of Taeyeon, it made Heize clench her fists tightly.

“Taeyeon-ah, I will take you back to the class.” Yuri said

“Okay” Taeyeon responded, “Heize-ssi, once again I apologize and please don't take Yuri's words to heart. I'm sorry for what my best friend said" Taeyeon continued who looked guilty

"Tae—" Yuri was about to protest Taeyeon's words, but the girl looked straight at Yuri. As if saying not to make things worse.

"I have to go, Heize-ssi" said Taeyeon who then let Yuri push her wheelchair to go to their class.

"!" Heize muttered while staring intently at Yuri's back which was getting further away from taking Taeyeon away from her.

.

"Princess Young, thank you for coming here" said Eugene excitedly while bowing in front of Tiffany, "Your schedule must be very busy, sorry for bothering you" said Eugene

"No problem, Mrs. Kim. I'm glad to meet you" said Tiffany with a sweet smile, "So, why did you invite me to meet you?" Tiffany asked curiously

"Aaahh.. I want to ask for your help" said Eugene doubtfully

"Sure, Mrs. Kim. As long as I can help you, I will definitely do it" Tiffany replied making Eugene relieved

“I have to accompany my husband on an overseas assignment for a few weeks. And seeing Taeyeon's condition, which is still injured, I'm afraid she will have a hard time at home alone. Well, actually not really alone but the servants here are not as many as in the Queen's kingdom. So I want to ask for your help to accompany Taeyeon while we are away” explained Eugene

"Only that?" asked Tiffany in disbelief

"Do you mind?" Eugene's response, which looked reluctant, the woman was worried if Tiffany objected to her request.

"Of course it doesn't matter, Mrs. Kim. I'm actually happy if I can be with Taeyeon all the time" Tiffany replied happily, "When are you and Mr. Kim going?" she continued

“We are leaving tonight and before leaving I will call her. But I don't know how I can contact my daughter. I heard she lost her cell phone on the cruis
