Episode XV: Epilogue
Aegis
"YAH. This hospital's going to get rich because of us." Im Yoona's voice rang inside the hospital room as she ate the apple Seohyun handed her. She turned towards the quiet girl and gave her a sweet smile. "Thanks.", she said and took a bite. Seohyun blushed.
Because of Tiffany's persistence, Taeyeon found herself in a hospital room along with Yuri and Sooyoung. Her boss was nursing a shoulder injury while Yuri lay unconscious on her bed. Taeyeon turned her attention on her boss.
"Hey, Chief. You've got lots of explaining to do. And where did you get that injury?"
Sooyoung wore an expression of mock surprise. "Explaining? You want to get fired? How dare you talk to me like that!" She laughed. "But, seriously. I got this while saving some shorty's here."
"WHO YOU CALLING 'SHORTY'?!" It was Sunny. She was sitting beside the Chief and began punching her uninjured arm in retaliation. "It wasn't my fault that I got kidnapped!"
Sooyoung turned to look at her. "Of course it's your fault! What on earth were you doing loitering around the city like that?!"
"But you told me to go there!", the small girl snapped back.
"What? I did no such--"
"Okay, stop that now.", Tiffany calmed the quarreling pair. She turned towards Jessica, who was watching over Yuri on the bed next to Sooyoung's. "Sica, how's Yuri?"
"The doctor said she's stable. There wasn't any major injury so she should be waking up after a few days.", Jessica answered, her weariness evident on her face.
Seohyun interjected. "Oh. It's just like what happened to Taeyeon-unnie before."
"Yeah.", Taeyeon nodded in agreement. "Why is she unconscious anyway?"
Yoona swallowed the apple mush in before speaking. "Honestly, I don't know. When I arrived, Yuri-ah was already out cold with Sica-ssi here beside her. The reinforcements arrived a few minutes later."
The Energy, Taeyeon thought but decided to worry about it at a later time. She turned towards Tiffany. "Also, why is Hyoyeon-ah here? What are you planning to do with her?", she said, motioning towards the Child lying unconscious on another bed.
The girl pointed towards Sooyoung who immediately explained. "Oh, we just placed her here so I can keep an eye on her. She's under SSP custody. She'll be undergoing questioning once she recovers."
Taeyeon nodded. After a while, she asked, "So. What are we going to do once we get out of here?"
"The... Well, Tiffany-unnie's room needs repairing.", Seohyun suggested.
"Oh. Don't worry. That'll be easy. The SSP'll take care of that.", Sooyoung answered her.
"OH! OH! Then we can just go and arrange a date for Fany- and Taeyeon-unnie!", Sunny shouted with a dreamy, mischievous look on her face.
Taeyeon laughed. "That's nic-- Wait, WHAT?! You... You guys knew?!"
Jessica couldn't help but join the commotion. "We're not blind, you know. It's so obvious even if you don't tell us." Taeyeon looked at Tiffany who blushed.
Sooyoung chimed in with the teasing. "I told you it might turn out to be something good, didn't I?"
"Yah, Unnie! Just because we know about you two, doesn't mean you're just going to protect her, okay? You're still our Guardian after all.", Sunny reinforced.
The Guardian chuckled. "Of course. I'm not forgetting that at the slightest." Taeyeon could only smile and take Tiffany's hand within hers as the happy jeers and teasing of their companions echoed within the room.
