Nine
HerI immediately washed Taeyeon's jacket and my jeans before showering myself. It's embarrassing to know her personal stuff needed to be used because of a period stain. But remembering how she protected me from all those people's looks flatters my heart.
"God, imagine if Taeyeon hadn't seen it, I would've ridden a freakin' bus back here and I don't even have any idea." I told Tiffany as I hang the jacket outside.
"I know, I didn't have any idea, too. Taetae's really attentive. It's one of the things I love about her." Tiffany talked about her wholeheartedly. Funny how Taeyeon has a lot of great qualities yet Tiffany cannot reciprocate Taeyeon's feelings for her.
It was silent for a moment but when she started talking again, it came off very unexpected. "You know, maybe if it wasn't for Nickhun, I would be with Taeyeon right now."
I knitted my eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Can't you tell?" she asked, almost as if she knows something but I acted like I didn't know anything so she'd get straight to the point. "It's obvious that she likes me. As in more than a friend."
So she knows. "How are you so sure? I don't even notice it." I continued to play dumb.
"Jessi, if you were me, you'd know. I'm not making up." she said. " I've been friends with her for years, I've totally memorized everything about her by now." I didn't say anything, I wanted her to keep on going. "And ever since Nickhun became my boyfriend, she started treating me extra special knowing the fact he won't be around." she stared at me, waiting for me to say something.
"Tiff, no hard feelings but I think you're being delusional." I told her, knowing the whole truth.
"No way." she shook her head in disagreement. "Look, all I'm saying is, maybe if I knew sooner back then, I'd totally give it a try. Taeyeon does everything for me, how can I not love her?"
Her statement caused me to stop what I was doing. So after all these years, Taeyeon actually has a chance with Tiffany? Tiffany could actually love her back romantically?
"What can you say? Am I right?" she asked.
"What do you want me to say? You already have a boyfriend, ." I tried to distract my feelings by being sarcastic towards her.
She laughed at my response. "I'm just saying. Taeyeon deserves love too, you know." I didn't say anything anymore, completely dropping the topic.
Taeyeon and Tiffany? No. No way.
I went to my room after finishing what I was doing. I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling. My heartbeat is weirdly rapid again. "Jessica, what is happening to you? What is this?" I questioned myself as I breathe heavily.
"Taeyeon does everything for me, how can I not love her?" her voice keeps on repeating inside my head, I want it to stop.
"Shut up, Tiffany." I mumbled to myself. I put a hand on my chest and calmed myself down.
"What's happening to me? Why do I hate the thought of them being together?" then I remembered how Taeyeon takes care of Tiffany. The way they cuddled up in the sofa yesterday. It only grew my annoyance.
"Am I seriously crushing on that midget?" I laughed at myself. "Come on, Jessica. Stop this nonsense." I sat back up and my eyes stopped at the note Taeyeon wrote the other day. It was now on my cork board with other post-its. Why would I keep it if it's just nothing?
"What did you do to me, midget?"
TAEYEON's POV
Saturday. I was minding my business, cleaning the dorm as usual when Tiffany called and invited me for dinner. I was about to turn down the invitation but I think she's starting to get suspicious of me.
"Don't tell me you're busy again? It's saturday, Taeyeon."
