Krystal was sitting down on the couch, fully dressed and waiting for Ms 
Kim and Taeyeon to come downstairs. They had been up there for the 
past forty minutes. They must have had a lot to talk about. The 
blonde always said that her mother was open-minded, but from 
the look on her face, that might not be the case. She did not want to 
get in between her and her daughter, but what if Ms Kim really did 
not approve of them seeing each other? What if she tried to pull them 
apart by forbidding Taeyeon to see her? Krystal found that thought much 
more terrifying than she assumed it would be, and instantly thought 
about going up there and pleading her case. Just as Krystal got worked 
up enough to go upstairs, Taeyeon and Ms Kim came downstairs. 
Taeyeon ran into Krystal’s arms and hugged her tightly, as Ms Kim 
walked up to them and smiled. Krystal only looked at her questioningly. 
 
“So, does this mean...that you approve of me and Taeyeon?” She asked.
 
Taeyeon’s mom just nodded, and looked at her seriously.
 
“Yes Krystal. To see the two of you like that then did catch me 
off-guard, but from talking to Taeyeon, I can see that you make each 
other happy. And at the end of the day, that’s all I want. Love is 
love and you can’t help who you fall in love with.”
 
Krystal nodded and smiled happily. “Thank you.”

Three days later, Taeyeon found out that the pianist from Germany would 
be delaying his trip by a month, but she was happy for this, it gave 
her a chance to practice for it a bit more. She had really been 
neglecting her practice to spend more time together with Krystal. But 
after then things got ruff between them. Very ruff. 
 
**********
 
Krystal and Taeyeon were at school, at lunchtime. The two did seem to be 
pretty much besotted with each other, but for some reason, Krystal was a 
lot more careful and worried about showing their affections in public. 
Krystal didn’t know why she was so fearful, but the fact that Taeyeon’s 
mother knew about them made her more nervous. For Taeyeon it was the 
exact opposite. She now wanted to be more open with the relationship 
and was letting her guard down more and more, especially at school. 

Taeyeon led Krystal to the outside of the northern block of the school, 
around the bike shed, with a mischievous look on her face. Krystal 
blushed at her, and looked around for anyone.

“We can’t do that now, Taeyeon...” Krystal said.
 
Taeyeon just pushed Krystal up to the back of the shed and against the 
wall. The musician raised her eyebrows suggestively, as her hands 
travelled around Krystal’s body. 
 
“Can you really say no to *me* Krystal?” Taeyeon asked.
 
Krystal would have protested at that, but found that she couldn’t. She 
actually couldn’t say no to Taeyeon no matter what she felt like. Krystal 
pulled Taeyeon in closer to her, and lightly kissed her. Taeyeon giggled 
slightly, and let her hands drop to Krystal’s slender waist. Krystal, 
driven by her desire, pressed her lips onto Taeyeon’s more forcefully, 
but instantly jerked back when she heard footsteps. 

The blonde musician gasped as she felt Krystal pull away so abruptly, 
and wondered what was wrong, but caught on as she saw three boys walk 
past them. They didn’t see Krystal or Taeyeon, and the brunette-haired girl 
sighed in relief. Taeyeon’s face twisted into an angry expression. The 
blonde musician began to walk away, but was halted when Krystal grasped 
her wrist. 
 
“What’s wrong Taeyeon?” The blonde di
