Dark Ties Chapter 12
Taeyeon P.O.V
First snow flake.
First raindrop.
Last sun ray, disappearing over the horizon.
I sat in the car, admiring the slumbering beauty before me. None of the above could be compared to her. Her milky white skin glowed under the soft moonlight, her face peaceful. She had always been intriguing to say the least. From the very first moment we both met, I had always taken a keen interest in her affairs.
I had always declined the requests to tutor but she was another matter. I agreed knowing it was a chance to know her better and finally being able to fix the confusing puzzle that was her.
Slowly placing her hand on her lap, I couldn't help but notice the fading bruises on her thighs. The dark brown splotches marred and outlined her milky skin. Questions began surfacing. Where did these bruises come from? Was she hurting herself? If so why?
I stared at her as my thoughts began to wonder. The slow rise and fall of her chest, the furrowing of eyebrows in her sleep and the small fidgets that she made in deep slumber. Each and every one alluring. Her scent overwhelmed my senses.
Just like before.
Without warning, I leaned forward, eyes shutting. My lips brushed her forehead, softly placing a small kiss on her velvety skin. As I retreated, a sense of déjà vu took over my mind. This happened before, a year ago.
Stuck in the same bunk with Tiffany Hwang at a stinky camp with way too many flies. We both went to bed without a word, a small sense of awkwardness in the air. Only the soft shuffling of our sleeping bags could be heard.
The hot, humid air and the noisy chirping of the crickets prevented me from falling into slumber. I fidgeted in my small sleeping bag, tossing and turning, trying to find a comfortable spot. Flipping over to my right, my eyes made contact with the sleeping Tiffany. Her face looked so serene under the moonlight.
I wasn't aware of my slow approach towards the girl. I scooted over, close enough to see her every feature. The small mole on her chin, the thin line of her eyelids, the softness of her lips, everything become so clear.
The sudden realisation of our closeness made me retreat back in shock. What the hell are you doing, Kim Taeyeon? You don't even talk to her. Heck, you don't even know her. But as I stared at the sleeping angel before me, the attraction for her was no joke. It was a pull like no other. Even now, as she slept. I slid forward again.
My lips hovered over her forehead before softly kissing the cool skin. Slowly shifting back to my spot, my mind was a mess. What the hell did I just do? I shook my head clear before snuggling back into the sleeping back, struggling to fall asleep. Oh why do you, Tiffany Hwang have to be so God damn intriguing.
I smiled to myself as I reminisced the sweet memory. I wanted to know her then, I wanted to know her more now. She was beautiful to say the least, inside and out. Her mind was so complicated, her personality twisted and tangled. The real her doesn't seem so real anymore.
Snippets of her house flashed through my mind. A cold house with little comfort. What exactly goes on there? Was it the cause of Tiffany's agony?
Too deep in my thoughts, I failed to notice the now awake Tiffany. A small tap on my shoulder brought me back to reality. I ly to be greeted by heaven's angel, a small smile on her face.
"Thanks for getting me home. Bye Taeyeon," she turned to open the door, only to be stopped by my hand on her wrist.
"You still hasn't answered me. What happened to us?" I asked, eyes pure and sincere. She didn't turn around. Her face hidden by her fallen hair.
"I don't know. Let's keep it that way for now," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. She softly pried her wrist free before getting off the car.
I watched her back disappear into the house. A small tinge of pain in my heart. I don't know why I'm feeling all these funny feelings but I'm certain it's because of that one special girl.
A pair of headlights lit up the dark road behind me. Peering into my rear mirror, I spotted a couple in a small coupe.
Tiffany's parents I assume.
Starting up the car, I drove into the night, with Tiffany leaving me with more questions than answers.
