Thirty-Seven
HerAnd I'm back! Sorry for making you all wait✌️😅 I love this chapter. Special thanks to @intogravity for the idea!
Since they all share a room with two bunk beds inside, Taeyeon is still able to take a look at Jessica inside after drinking. She is now sleeping beside Tiffany. Once she's done washing her face and brushing her teeth, Taeyeon went to check on Tiffany and kiss her goodnight. Of course, without forgetting to check on Jessica as well. Taeyeon then noticed Tiffany took the blanket all to herself leaving Jessica with nothing to use so she went to get her and Yuri's supposed blanket and covered Jessica with it, not wanting Jessica to feel cold later on. She proceeded to go up and lay beside Yuri afterwards.
Jessica opened her eyes the moment she felt Taeyeon go up. She actually waited for Taeyeon to come in because she's worried, moreover, the latter went drinking by herself. And feeling Taeyeon put a blanket on her just brought back all the feels. She bit her lip, trying to prevent herself from smiling so much. All this time, after all the pain she's been through, Taeyeon still has the same effect on her.
Assuming the midget is already asleep since she drank, Jessica carefully gets off the bed to take one last look on Taeyeon above only to find out Taeyeon is doing the same for her.
They both gasped upon meeting each other's faces, they clearly didn't expect to look at one another at the same time. "Hi." Taeyeon greeted in a low voice.
"Hi." Jessica greets back as they stare into each other's eyes.
"I thought you were asleep."
"No, I-..." Jessica couldn't think of a reason to say so she thanked her instead. "Thank you for this." she said, showing her the blanket.
Taeyeon smiled at the appreciation. "Goodnight, Sica."
"Goodnight." Jessica went back to bed and hugged her pillow, thinking of the midget above with a smile plastered on her face.
She then recalled the conversation they had earlier.
"Do you...do you like Yuri?" Jessica could not forget the look in Taeyeon's eyes when she asked that question. It's as if she was desperate to know the answer.
"What's it to you, Kim Taeyeon?" Jessica mentally asked. She could only wonder why.
The following day, all of them except Hyoyeon decided to wake up earlier than usual so they could still have fun for hours before leaving. As per usual, Yuri is in charge of cooking with Yoona helping her. Taeyeon wanted to help as well but Yuri told her to make up with Tiffany instead after what happened last night and that's what Taeyeon did.
As the two of them sit beside each other while watching the others go for a swim again, Taeyeon interlocked her fingers with Tiffany. She knew she had to make it up to her after making her feel bad yesterday.
"I'm sorry, I just got distracted yesterday. Nothing else, Fany-ah." Tiffany just listened to her talk. "But I understand why you're upset. It will never happen again." Taeyeon started caressing her hand, wanting to say something more but isn't able to for there is no excuse for what she did.
After a while, Tiffany let out a sigh and finally faced her. "I was hurt, Tae. I don't want you looking at other girls the way you look at me. You know how easily jealous I am."
"I know, I'm sorry." Taeyeon apologized once more, seeing the frustrated expression on the redhead's face. "But please, don't you ever take out your frustrations on Jessica. She's not doing any wrong, Fany-ah. She's your friend."
Tiffany went silent. "What you said last night also must've hurt her. It wasn't nice." Taeyeon says.
Because of that, Tiffany rolled her eyes. "Look, I get it, okay? I was drunk, I wasn't thinking straight. Are you trying to apologize or to make me feel bad even more?" she started to get annoyed again.
"No, that's not what I-" before Taeyeon could even finish talking, a loud scream was heard from Krystal.
"Unnie!" both of them immediately looked where the voice was coming from and the sight horrified Taeyeon. Jessica is panicking in the water due to her sudden leg cramps and Krystal and Amber are already far to get to her.
Taeyeon quickly stood up and rushed into the water to save Jessica. Worse, there aren't many people around to come and get her. Taeyeon never felt this terrified before and never did any of them except something like this would happen. Seeing how much Jessica is struggling, she swam as fast as she could, not minding about anything else. Jessica must've drank a lot of water by now.
Hold on, Sica.
But by the time she finally reached her, Jessica was no longer conscious causing Krystal in an extreme panic as well.
