Chapter 27

“So, Tiffany, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Does Jaejoong Oppa have anything planned for the both of you?” Seohyun asked, as she vigorously looked through her closet.

“He’s busy tomorrow. A meeting in Taiwan he said.” Tiffany was busy trying to fold Seohyun’s orange short-sleeve scoopneck top when her frown formed. She understand how important his job was to him & she wasn’t about to force him into dropping everything just for her. Actually, she was quite thankful. Even though he hadn’t spent that much time with her, he tried. They would go on late night dates & dinner.
