Song title: Something About Us- Daft Punk

https://soundcloud.com/kevin-pavanello/daft-punk-something-about-us

Everything's moving way too fast for Taeyeon.

One second ago, she was near to hugging Tiffany and then a sudden commotion occurred then her hand was trapped between Yejin's palm before she gets pulled away and into the living room, her eyes didn't fail to see Tiffany's befuddled expression, her face was an abstract piece of multiple emotions.

Shock, puzzlement, wonder, and for a second there, Taeyeon swear she could she hurt in those eyes.

Tiffany gave them a tight smile then bit her lip when Yejin turned around and dragged a frozen Taeyeon into the living room. She inhaled a deep one, closed her eyes and went to the kitchen.

She needs something stronger than boring old wine to get her through the night.

She grabbed a cold bottle of vodka resting inside Sunkyu's chrome fridge and poured herself a generous amount of it.

She was shaking; her knees were suddenly weak, like they've been beaten by a baseball bat again and again.

If it weren't for the warm touch she felt on her shoulder, she would've done something stupid like snatching Taeyeon away and bringing her someplace where they could be alone or sit beside Taeyeon or on Taeyeon's lap or in between Taeyeon and Yejin.

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us, I want to say
'Cause there's something between us anyway

It had never occurred to her before, maybe because she was too used to it that she didn't find the time to actually think about it but she somehow considered Taeyeon hers. Being away from her close friends, Taeyeon included, for two years wasn't as easy as one two three, her decision about getting married was something heavy hence it had taken most of her time, time with the wedding planner, the florist, the venue organizers, her family, her husband's family, her husband.

She wondered how hard it must have been for Taeyeon, the fact that they couldn't see each other and especially the fact the she's getting married.

Getting married.

Married.

Past tense.

She's not going to lie, it was damn hard for her too. Her emotions were killing her, sometimes she would think that it's better not to get married and just stay in a relationship, at least in that way she could still live with Taeyeon and live life as it is but no, her rash and moronic feelings just had to push and pull herself away and towards Taeyeon, Other times, she would feel very content and at peace with the guy.

It’s confusing the hell out of her.

Now she thinks it's her impulsiveness she followed because judging from what she's feeling right now, this isn't where her heart wants her to be. She wonders if she might not have thought this through thoroughly, she's always so meticulous of things, so this was kind of surprising.

Maybe she panicked or something. Then again, is there anything she could do to fix this? Or if there is something to fix. Marriage isn't a joke and she knows that.

But looking at Taeyeon now, who changed her seat and was now sitting on the opposite of the couch, with her beautiful face on display, Tiffany thinks that maybe she made the biggest mistake in her life.

It was ridiculously funny, it seems like Taeyeon, who was from Korea, was taking whatever's going on between them more seriously than she, Tiffany Hwang does, who grew up in a free country that sees homouality as something normal.

It wasn't that she thinks it's abnormal, she totally fine with it.

It’s just a matter of strict religion and aiming to have a perfect family, with kids and a father they could call ‘Daddy’ and all that, much like her family back in the days.

And so, seeing Taeyeon in front of her with a very amused Yejin sitting very close to her, almost cuddling and looking very happy with whatever Hyoyeon's talking about started to carve its way into her heart.

And carving can never be not painful.

I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you

She could see it now as she ran a hand through her hair and sighed.

"So everything's not okay I assume?" the blonde girl surmised. Tiffany didn't answer. Her thoughts were muddled and unorganized.

Jessica helped herself with some vodka, downed her first shot, face scrunching just a little at the taste, and poured Tiffany her second.

From there they could see the happenings in the living room. Sunkyu, Hyoyeon and Juhyun were talking to Yejin who was sitting beside an uncomfortable Taeyeon who was chancing a glance on them through a wall mirror.

Tiffany caught her stare and Taeyeon immediately tore her eyes off of her looking guilty and flushed.

Cute. Tiffany thought, there was a one second smile on her face before it turned back to its previous stern and stoic look.

Sooyoung was making her way towards them.

"Shouldn't this be a party? Why are you guys over here?" she said jubilantly, but after a second her energy died.

"Okay, I get it, it's too awkward to be there and pretend that everyone's having fun blah blah" she rambled and sat one of the elevated stools, she grabbed a piece of garlic bread from a plate set down by Sunkyu as a finger food even before the party started while Jessica placed a flute filled with wine in front of her.

"Thanks, gosh, is there anything else here that's more exciting than garlic bread?" Sooyoung questioned later after gulping down her drink.

"You can rummage inside, I think." Jessica commented, pointed her thumb behind her, where Sunkyu's fridge was located.

Sooyoung's attempt to liven up the mood failed miserably. She half-slouched on her seat and sighed before standing up and doing what Jessica had said. Yuri who just got out from the powder room came beaming at them.

Jessica stiffened.

“Hello ladies” she greeted with a charming smile.

“She has gone mute since they arrived” Jessica explained, lips pursed toward Taeyeon and Yejin’s.

Yuri made an audible ‘aww’ and proceeded to Tiffany, kissing the top of the girl’s head.

Tiffany still hasn't moved an inch nor talked a word, but she patted Yuri’s legs for acknowledgment. Yuri then stood behind Jessica and placed her arms around the latter’s shoulders; her chin was resting on the crown of Jessica’s head.

Jessica leaned back and let herself fall on Yuri’s front, and held Yuri’s arms with one of her hands. She smiled, this is the closest I could ever get to you, she thought. Yuri hugged her tighter.

"She did say that she was bringing someone along right?" asked Jessica to no one, but Sooyoung was considerate enough to answer it with a small ‘yep’.

"Maybe you'll find time later, we'll keep her busy, Yejin, I mean." said Sooyoung, her words were obviously aimed at Tiffany who was still staring hard at Taeyeon as she sat back to her place, but not without playfully shoving Yuri away.

Slowly nodding, Tiffany brought the glass near ; her lips were gently touching the lid as she looked fervently at Taeyeon, who looked back at her with an unreadable expression she was so curious to know.

It seems like Taeyeon was brave when she's far away, having managed to stare back at Tiffany for close to a minute now. Then again, it was second nature to them, to look at each other for no apparent reason, wherein they sometimes get too lost in each other's orbs, silently guessing if the other one's feeling the same way, it's been like that before, until their eyes drowsily flutter and droop lazily, the members would just see them sound asleep beside each other.

Taeyeon feels like it has something to do with force, a force that keeps pulling her right from the start, she wanted so badly to look elsewhere, but she can't or maybe she doesn't want to. She hasn't seen her for two years. Her eyes wanted to take in as much as it could, to engrave Tiffany on her mind, just like all the other Tiffany's it had engraved ever since.

There was a 15 year old Tiffany rehearsing difficult dance choreography, also a sleeping Tiffany. Tiffany at 18 years old, beauty becoming more evident, Tiffany at 21 years old, seemingly looking like an irresistible goddess, Tiffany at 24, looking at Taeyeon like she's her favorite thing in the world before she held Taeyeon's face firmly and kissed the life out of her.

The force is getting stronger. Taeyeon couldn't help herself. She mentally thanked Hyoyeon and Yoona for keeping Yejin busy right now, because it would be very painful for the girl to see what she's doing right now.

Shamelessly gawking at another woman.

But Tiffany isn't just some other woman.

She was Taeyeon's first love.

And though it wasn’t really proclaimed for everyone to know, she was the best Taeyeon has ever had.

Tiffany had that look in her eyes, she's a fine seductress alright. If her eyes could burn, it would burn the air, it would burn Yejin, it would probably burn Sunkyu's new house. It was that intense. It might burn Taeyeon too, but she wouldn't mind.

It was the same stare Tiffany had when they shared their first kiss which almost lead to something more deliciously serious. It didn't happen immediately though, they were both careful and didn't want to screw up their friendship, or just rashly screw, literally.

For them, it wasn't the pleasure they're after.

Tiffany slowly brought the glass to , her red lipstick imprinting her y lips on the glass. She slowly sipped her vodka while looking at Taeyeon dead in the eye, she never missed a second, never missed a single action like the way Taeyeon slowly scoots further away from Yejin and into her own personal space without the other girl knowing, how Taeyeon would wet her lips from time to time and she thought that maybe, the taste of Taeyeon’s lips hadn’t changed.

I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

There is no way of finding out, is there?

Sooyoung finally entered the scene, chatting amicably and never-endingly to Yejin, buying the two some time to hit a proper timing and finally get the chance to catch up.

Tiffany drank the rest of her cocktail, closing her eyes for a moment when she reached the top and letting the vodka burn its way down , she forcefully planked down her glass on the marble countertop and it landed with a resounding clink. She bit her lip, tasting the dregs of alcohol left on it before she stood up, sauntering towards Taeyeon, her hips professedly hypnotizing as it swayed here and there, her heels clanking rhythmically against the floor.

Her face was serious but it was dazzling, twitched and there was now a small smile sketched on her smooth face. She wanted to run, just like the old times, run towards Taeyeon, hug her and feel the safety, the comforting familiarity the girl brought, hold her hand and drag her around like they’re little kids.

But this was their first meeting after a long time, she wanted it to be different. She wanted every second, every minute to be worthwhile; she wanted to savor every feeling, all the yearning and hurt and regret and happiness and...and love.

The nearer she got, the faster her heart pounded, but she set the thought and anxiety away and smiled. The smile that captured the world’s heart, it seemed to work, along with her curved eyes, a small curve on Taeyeon’s mouth started to appear.

Taeyeon got up clumsily and just stood there, waiting.

Taeyeon, though broken, was always waiting, always hoping that maybe some crazy fate would grant her a miracle. A second chance and maybe...

Maybe this was the start of it.

I added a little bit of Yulsic for all the royal shippers out there. Also, the taeny running together sentence was inspired by this gif, cause sometimes the two of them are just too childish it's so adorable! <3

BONUS! Just look at fany go for an awesome staaaare
