Epilogue: TaeNy

(TaeNy's wedding photo)

"Taeng, you'll be free this weekend, right?" Sooyoung asked as she handed Taeyeon a bowl of naengmyun.

"This weekend? I guess so. Wae?" Taeyeon asked as Sooyoung took a seat opposite her. "Where's my drink?"

"Amber is getting the drinks. Anyway, me and Sunny are planning to bring Kyungsan to the orphanage this weekend. It's been quite a while since we last visited the place. I think Kyungsan has been feeling a little lonely lately." Sooyoung replied as she started to mix her bowl of bibimbap.

"Here's the drinks." Amber placed the tray that has got 3 glasses of fresh juice on them.

"Thanks, Am. So you want to have a gathering with everyone at the orphanage? But Sica is not back yet and I'm not sure if Jae can make it though. I think she's still in Hong Kong." Taeyeon commented.

"We're having a gathering?" Amber asked as she scooped a spoonful of rice.

Sooyoung repeated what she told Taeyeon earlier as Amber nodded her head.

"Can I join you guys too? Maybe I can bring Krystal too?" Amber grinned.

"What's actually your relation with her, Am? Are you even serious with her?" Taeyeon asked as she knocked Amber lightly on her forehead with her knuckles. "I see you flirting around with almost all of my workers at work, especially the girls."

"I wasn't flirting. I was just being friendly. Even in school, I'll mingle with everyone. Me and Krystal.... Well, it's complicated." Amber sighed.

"It's complicated because you're too friendly to everyone. How do you expect Krystal to understand your gestures when you treat everyone else the same way?" Sooyoung added on as Taeyeon agreed. "Anyway, Sunny told me to just invite everyone. Whoever can make it, just meet us up at the orphange."

"Okay. I'll check with Fany first. I'm not sure if Miyeon has her ballet lessons this weekend though. Usually, Fany will be the one arranging her schedules." Taeyeon tilted her head and pouted as she tried to remember something.

"Get back to me by tonight then. You too, Amber. So far, Yul and Yoona are coming, along with Manse." Sooyoung said as Taeyeon and Amber nodded their heads.

Taeyeon's POV

Once lunch was over, the 3 of us rode Sooyoung's car back to the office. Walking separately to our own office, I took a seat at my table. Lunch always make me sleepy but a certain loud voice would always be able to wake me up. Taking my phone, I dialed the number.

"Taetae!!!"

I smiled as I heard her giggling on line. I greeted her back as she asked what I had for lunch. We continued chatting for a while before I remembered about the talk I had with Sooyoung.

"Fany, does Miyeon has her ballet lesson this weekend?"

"Let me check. Hhhhmmm.... She doesn't have. Waeyo, Taetae?"

"Soo is planning to visit the orphanage with Sunny and Kyungsan. She's inviting the rest of the girls along. She said that so far YoonYul and Manse are coming."

"Oh my god. Let's go, Taetae. It's been a while since I last saw them. I miss them so much but Sica is not back yet, right?"

"That's right. Sica is not around. Maybe Jae won't be there too. I don't know when she's coming back from Hong Kong."

"Aigoo.. The two of them are so busy, I wonder how they can sustain their relationship. Honestly, I can't wait to see them settling down. By the way, will Seo and Hyo be joining us too?"

"I think Soo or Sunny will be informing them soon. Amber might be joining us and she's planning to bring Krystal along."

"The more the merrier. Anyway, I need to go off first, Taetae. There's a meeting in 10mins time. You'll be fetching Miyeon later, right?"

"Yes. I'll fetch her later from Appa Hwang's house. I love you, Fany. I'll see you later tonight. Arraseo?"

As I ended the call, there was a big smile on my face. Looking at the photo that was on my table, I knew my life was complete.

(Imagine this is the photo on Taeyeon's table.)

It was a photo taken by Jae early this year when she sent us off for our very 1st family holiday. Tiffany had bought similar clothings for us and our baby girl, Kim Miyeon. 6 months after YoonYul's wedding, it was my turn to get married to Tiffany. We had read our marriage vows to each other, just a day before we celebrated my birthday and one day after Tiffany's birthday, Kim Miyeon became part of our lives.

(Flashback 4yrs ago)

Kim Miyeon was only 7weeks old when she was abandoned in front of the orphanage late one night. Actually, she doesn't even have a name initially. Someone left her with just a blanket and a little note at the entrance of the orphanage. That note only stated her birth date and that she's unwanted. Ms Song had panicked when she found the baby and had immediately called Jae to inform her about it. At that time, Jae was still staying at my house so both of us ended up speeding to the orphanage.

While Jae and Ms Song were busy trying to figure out about how to handle the matter, I was left to tend to the baby. She was quietly staring at me and once a while, I saw her smiling a little. She was fragile but yet she had this calming effect on me as I didn't panicked even though it was my first time holding a baby. I noticed that the baby girl also had a mole on her left chin just like Tiffany.

"Hey, this baby has a mole on the chin. Just like you." Jae suddenly said as she stood beside me.

"Mine is on the right." I said as I pointed to my right chin. "But Fany's on the left, just like this baby. She's cute, don't you think so?"

Jae nodded her head as her phone rang. I spend the whole night at the orphanage, preparing milk for the baby girl, played with her and even put her to sleep while Jae and Ms Song worked the whole night, trying to find ways on what was the proper way to handle the situation.

"We can register the girl under the care of the orphanage but we need a name for her." Jae said as she flopped on the couch, her face showing the signs of fatigue.

"Miyeon." I suddenly said as Jae looked at me. "Let's name her as Miyeon."

********************************

Tiffany's POV

"So, is there anything else that any of you would like to bring up?"

When everyone shook their head, I gave them a smile and ended the meeting. As my staffs started to leave the conference room, I packed my paperworks and glanced at my watch. The meeting had ended slightly later than I had expected. Just when I had closed the conference door behind me, my phone rang.

"Omma!!" Giggles could be heard from the other line.

"Yes, Miyeon? Are you home yet?" I smiled as I entered my office.

"I'm already home. Tae Omma ask me to ask you something. What do you want to eat?" Miyeon giggled again before she continued talking. "Omma, will you be home soon?"

"Tell Tae Omma that I'm fine with anything that she cooks. I'm getting ready to go home now. I was held back by a meeting earlier. Mianhae." I started packing my stuff and headed to the door.

"Okay, Omma. I'll see you soon. Love you."

I heard a smooching sound as I ended the call. Walking down the hallway towards the lift, I noticed that some of my staffs were still at work. Telling them not to stay too late, I bid them farewell as I entered the lift to get to the basement where the carpark was.

Since taking over Appa's position in his company 2yrs after I graduated, this had been my usual routine. It was not an easy task to be the chairman of Hwang Corporation. Sometimes I would have to put in extra hours to get urgent matters settled as soon as possible or even travelled overseas to meet with my clients. I was lucky that Taeyeon had always been understanding with my job commitment. I wished that she could accompany me all the time when I travel but because of her company, it was not always possible.

I was thankful with Miyeon's presence in our lives. The first time I met that bundle of joy was the day after she was abandoned at the orphanage. I had received a call from Taeyeon, asking me to meet her at the orphanage. When I arrived, I saw her sitting at the couch while she was making faces at something that she was cradling. Approaching them slowly, I was shocked to see a small baby in her arms. But what was more shocking was how Taeyeon was still smiling when she obviously looked fatigue.

(Flashback 4yrs ago)

Taeyeon had noticed me just before I had reached her as she patted the empty space beside her. The moment I sat down, she handed me the thing that was in her arms earlier. I was shocked to see a small baby wrapped in the blanket.

"Oh my god." I was really startled as Taeyeon giggled. "Who..? How..? When..?"

I couldn't even make any proper sense of the words that was coming out from my mouth as Taeyeon started her ahjumma laughter. Afraid that it might startled the baby and made her cry, I shushed Taeyeon and nudged her shoulder. But I was surprised when I saw the baby smiling.

"Miyeon loves my laughter." Taeyeon said as she yawned before placing her head on my shoulders. "And I'm sleepy."

"Miyeon? By the way, since what time were you here, Taetae?" I asked as I started to get a little nervous with the baby in my hands.

"Since last night. Jae is here too. She's doing some paperworks with Ms Song. Are you okay, Fany? You looked stressed out." Taeyeon asked as I handed the baby back to her.

"I'm sorry, Taetae. But I'm not that confident with babies. They will usually cry everytime I hold on to them." I sighed as Taeyeon just smiled at me.

"Don't worry, Miyeon is different. She's not a crybaby." Taeyeon then turned to face the baby girl who seemed to be going off to sleep.

I was about to say something when Jae walked out from the office with Ms Song behind her. They started to narrate to me about what had happened, everyone telling their own parts as I just listened and nodded my head occasionally.

"After I take a short nap, I'll go and register for Miyeon's birth certificate." Jae also yawned as I noticed that she had the same tired expression as Taeyeon's. "Before that, why did you choose the name Miyeon?"

Jae turned to face Taeyeon who was grinning like a dork. After hearing their story earlier, I was also curious as to why Taeyeon had chosen that name.

"The baby reminds me of Fany, especially with her mole on her left chin. Miyeon is taken from Fany's name and mine. Mi from Miyoung and Yeon from Taeyeon."

Jae chuckled out loud at Taeyeon's explanation while Ms Song just smiled. For me, I was more than surprised with Taeyeon's reasoning.

"Do you want to adopt her, Taeng?" Jae's question made everyone turned to face her.

"But me and Fany are not married yet and I...." Taeyeon sighed before continuing her sentence. "I'm not financially stable yet."

Taeyeon had told me before that if possible, she too would like to propose to me as soon as possible but she wanted to prove herself first. I saw how hardworking she was with the setting up of Miracle Pte Ltd. Even though it's co-shared with Sooyoung, I saw her determination to push the company forward. I was about to say something to console her but Jae overtook me.

"I can just put your name as the guardian while the baby still resides at the orphanage. I can see that you've taken a liking to the baby girl. Kim Miyeon. How does that sound to you?" Jae asked as I saw Taeyeon's eyes brightened up as she repeated the name.

"Taetae, once you're ready, we can adopt the baby. In the mean time, we can always come here to visit her." I said to which Taeyeon nodded her head.

(Present time)

So that was how it has been until Miyeon legally became our daughter. Stepping on the accelerator, a smile appeared on my face as I can't wait to be home with the two person that I love so much.

********************************

"Thank you for the dinner, Tae Omma." Miyeon said as Tiffany wiped and cleared her plate. "Tae Omma's kimchi fried rice is the best."

"That's the only dish that she can be proud of, Miyeon-ah." Tiffany said as Taeyeon meronged at her wife while she lifted Miyeon to the counter and help her to wash and face at the sink.

The 3 of them had just ended their dinner together with the kimchi fried rice that Taeyeon had cooked. Usually, Taeyeon and Tiffany would finished their dinner first and would wait for Miyeon to finish hers. Taeyeon would then help to wash her up before bed while Tiffany would clean up the kitchen.

"Miyeon-ah, do you want to meet Kyungsan-oppa and Manse-oppa?" Taeyeon asked as she was helping Miyeon to gargle a cup of water.

The little girl just nodded her head as she spit out the water. "I want to meet them."

Tiffany, who was done with clearing of the table, brought the dirty dishes to the sink where Taeyeon and Miyeon were.

"Miyeon-ah, do you like Kyungsan-oppa better or Manse-oppa?" Tiffany asked as she started washing the dishes.

"I love both of them." Miyeon answered cheerfully as Taeyeon placed her down to the floor.

"Love?" Taeyeon was shocked with Miyeon's answer. "Andwae, andwae. Like is okay. Love is not okay. You need to grow older to understand love, Miyeon-ah."

Tiffany giggled as she looked at how protective Taeyeon was over Miyeon. The two of them then skipped to Miyeon's room where Taeyeon would prepare her for bed.

Tiffany's POV

After I was done clearing the whole kitchen, I made two cups of americano with the help of the Nespresso machine. By the time I had placed both cups on the table at our balcony and took a seat, Taeyeon had walked in. It was one of our favourite things to do after Miyeon went off to bed and that was to chill at our balcony which had a view of the city.

"Hi y." Taeyeon smirked at me while I just rolled my eyes at her.

Taking a seat beside me, I handed her the drink as we started talking about work, about Miyeon and some other random stuff. I don't remember what we were talking about that lead us to talk about JaeSica.

"Taetae, don't you think it's about time that Jae and Jessi settle down?" I asked as Taeyeon nodded her head. "Both of them are already 27yrs old this year."

"I agree too but both of them are so immersed in work that I don't even know if they had thought about marriage." Taeyeon took another sip of her drink. "Fany-ah, because of you I'm getting used to drinking this bitter coffee."

I smiled at Taeyeon before leaning in to kiss her pouting lips. "Sometimes I'm afraid that both of them are so busy with work that they might grew apart from each other."

"Don't worry. Both of them has been working hard to spend time together. Jae even bought a private jet so that she can travel easily and save time whenever she wants to have a date with Sica. One thing good though, at least both of them are permanently residing in Seoul. It's only at times that they need to travel overseas separately." Taeyeon explained as I nodded my head.

"They're one of the sweetest couple among us and also one that had went through a lot of hardships so I really want them to get married soon." I expressed my honest feelings.

"All of us wishes for that, Fany. The last wedding that we had was HyoHyun's which was around 14months ago. Jae is currently in Hong Kong for a meeting and she has her on-going hotel project in Bangkok. Sica will only be back to Seoul in November which is in 2months time. Let's just hope something will trigger in their hearts to think about marriage soon." Taeyeon said as she looked out at the view in front of her. "But one thing for sure, I'll be the first one to know if Jae's planning a proposal. That was what she had promised me before."

(Flashback 19months ago)

Taeyeon's POV

"Since you're the first one to know about my plan, you must promise me that I'll be the first one to know about your proposal to Sica too." I shoved my pinky finger at Jae's face.

"Yah!! How old are you? Pinky promise?" Jae pushed my finger away as I chuckled. "Anyway, I'm the first one to know because you need my help with the video. If not, I won't be the first."

"Yah, Park Hyun Jae!! How can you say it like that? If I really needed help with the video, I could have just asked Soo's help. She's good with that. But I inform you first instead because both of us had a lot of history. We grew up together. We were practically each other's shadow since we were 5yrs old. I can't believe you think that way about me." I pretended to be upset and folded my arms while pouting away.

"Aigoo, aigoo.. Someone's upset." Jae said as she smiled at me. "I was just kidding, Taeng. Of course you'll be the first to know about my proposal and you'll need to return the favour to me."

"No problem. I'm just a phone call away." I replied with an okay sign.

"I was thinking of singing live while the video is being played so I will need your help to play the guitar for me too." I chuckled when I saw Jae rolling her eyes at me while I let her listen to the song that I've chosen to sing.

"I think the song suits both of you. You've finally worked hard to prove your worth. You've set up your own company and will soon have your own office building. So now you can marry her with no worries." Jae said as she patted my back.

"It's not fully owned by me though. I'm sharing it with Soo." I replied with a half-hearted smile.

"Oh come on, Taeng. Give yourself some credit, will you? You've worked hard and I know no matter what, those close to you will always be proud of you. Especially Fany." Jae started to nag at me.

"Arraseo, arraseo." I replied trying to end the nagging. "Anyway, this is what I plan to do."

Tiffany's POV

I can's stop smiling ever since I woke up today. It's the day when my beloved girlfriend would be able to show everyone the hard work that she had put in the past 3yrs. Today will be the grand opening of Miracle Pte Ltd office building.

"Miyoung. Are you done yet?"

I heard Appa's voice calling me from the living room. I'll be attending the event with Appa since Taeyeon need to be there much earlier to make sure that everything was in order. I quickly grabbed my handbag and headed to where Appa was waiting for me.

I reached the building 30mins before the start of the event. It was my first time there as I saw familiar faces at the lobby area. It was a simple two-storey building with a tentage all set-up at the front of the building where all the guests were gathered. Appa went off to meet the other girls parents while I walked up to the table where the girls were.

At the table, Sunny was there with YoonYul and HyoHyun. Kyungsan and Manse were there too as they played with each other.

"Is my Taetae with your shikshin, Sunny?" I asked as I sat beside Sunny.

"I think so. Both of them would be hosting their own event which is why there's a stage there." Sunny replied as she pointed to a small stage with a white screen at the side of the tentage which was just a few tables away from us.

"Where's Jessi and Jae?" I asked as Yuri replied that they were on their way.

10mins later, a familiar figure approached our table.

"Hi everyone." We turned to see a smiling Jessica who sat beside me. "Hi Manse, hi Kyungsan." The two boys bowed their heads and greeted her.

"Why are you late and where's Jae?" Yoona asked as Jessica told her that Jae had went off to look for Taeyeon and Sooyoung.

I'm not sure if my eyes were playing tricks with me but I thought I saw Hyoyeon and Yuri smirking at each other. I was about to ask them when the lights dimmed except for the stage. Sooyoung and Taeyeon were smiling as they started to address the guests. Both of them started talking about their company, the hardships that they went through while joking around and brought laughter to everyone. It was not a big group of people that was invited. Mostly were family members, close friends and staffs which was about 50 of them.

"I believe me and Soo had been talking too much for the past one hour. Is everyone getting hungry?" Taeyeon asked as Sooyoung quickly replied that she was, bringing another round of laughter from the crowd. "The food will be serve soon and I need to go to the Ladies. In the meantime, Soo will entertain you."

I saw Taeyeon running off to the side and was surprised to see Jae there. 'Are those two up to something?' My thoughts were interrupted when Sooyoung's voice echoed through the speaker.

"Stephanie Hwang Miyoung. Can you please stand up so that I can see you?" Sooyoung chuckled as I slowly stood up with a clueless expression. "There's something that Kim Taeyeon would like you to watch and also listen so please have your eyes fixed on the screen."

By now, it was total silence as everyone was also interested to see what was on the screen. The lights became much dimmer as the screen lights up. I was totally suprised when photos of me and Taeyeon appeared one by one on the screen.

(Imagine that these are the first few photos that appeared.)

As the photos continued to appear on screen one after another, the sound of someone strumming the guitar was heard as the lights came on at the side of the stage. Jae was smiling as she bowed a little to the crowd. I was about to look back to the video when I heard Taeyeon's voice.

(Imagine Taeyeon was the one singing this song.)

I was looking to and fro between the stage and the piano, trying to search for the person that was currently singing. When I noticed Sunny's shocked expression as she pointed to something behind me, I turned around quickly to a grining Taeyeon who was holding on to the mic.

"I'll say will you marry me... I swear that I will mean it... I'll say will you marry me.."

I covered my mouth as tears started to flow down freely. Taeyeon stopped and hugged me when I didn't stop crying. Jae, who noticed that Taeyeon had stopped singing, helped out by continuing to sing the song.

"Wae? Why are you crying, pabo-yah?" She whispered at my ears as she my back to calm me down.

"It's because of you. You're the pabo who made me cry." I replied as Taeyeon chuckled and tightened her embrace.

When the song finally came to an end, Taeyeon went down on bended knees and smiled at me.

"Fany-ah, I knew you've waited patiently for my proposal. Thank you for understanding the reason behind the delay. I wanted to be someone that you can rely on, emotionally, physically and financially. I've worked hard the past few years so that I can provide a better future for us and maybe for Miyeon too." Taeyeon took out a box from her blazer pocket and opened it in front of me. "This is from your favourite company that has the same name as you and this ring has your favourite color on it. So, will you please marry me?"

Taeyeon made a puffy face at me and with that cute face, I don't think anyone could resist her. So I nodded my head quickly and pulled her up to kiss her passionately, ignoring all the whistling and teasing sounds that was surrounding us as everyone cheered us on.

********************************

"Taetae-ah, let's go to sleep now. By the way, don't forget to inform Soo that we're going to the gathering this weekend." Tiffany said as she took the two cups and walked towards the sliding door.

Taeyeon grinned and quickly followed Tiffany into the kitchen. While Tiffany was washing the cups, Taeyeon slipped her hands from behind to give her wife a backhug.

"Fany-ah, my body has been aching a lot lately. Will you be able to give me a massage tonight?" Taeyeon chuckled as Tiffany tilted her head to the side and she saw the erted smile on Taeyeon's face.

Understanding her wife's need, Tiffany smiled and nodded her head. "Make sure that once I'm done with the dishes, you're already in bed waiting for me. With nothing on."

Like a lightning bolt, Taeyeon disappeared into their bedroom as Tiffany just chuckled at her wife.
