"I don't know anyone by the name of Tiffany Hwang Miyoung."

"What are we going to do?" Amber asked aloud as she recalled Taeyeon's proclamation.  "Do you think she is lying Hyoyeon? About not knowing Tiffany?"

Hyoyeon, who was sitting next to Amber,  looked at Amber strangely, as if that was the most stupidest things Amber has ever said. "That is one of the most stupidest things you have ever said to me. And trust me, you have said alot of stupid things since I have come to know you." 

Amber scoffed at Hyoyeon's remark while the latter just shook her head and smiled before saying, "I doubt Taeyeon is lying. I was there when your dad took her away. Taeyeon did suffer some rather fatal blows to her head."

"Dad did say that Taeyeon's were a bit hazy when she woke up the first time after 4 months in a coma. She would have attacked Tiffany if dad didn't step in at the right time." Sooyoung voiced her opinion from behind them before joining the two women in the living room. Sooyoung sat next to Amber while Hyoyeon sat in a chair in front of them. "Even Donghae said that Taeyeon's brain seemed to have been injured, even though her concussion wounds and critical organ damages are healed."

Hyoyeon nodded her head and leaned forward with her chin rested on top of her hands. "The fact that all three of you lived through this ordeal is a miracle itself. There was no guarantee that the water Uncle Jae preserved for dire situations such as this would have helped." 

True.

Jae saved what would be a sufficient amount of the cave water to prepare for 'death' situations such as what had happened to TaeSooBer.   The night where the doctors deemed Taeyeon and Amber to be at the brink of death with little chances of survival forced their father to use the water. He took a risk and was able to save his daughters' lives.  

"And when I found you Sooyoung-" Hyoyeon continued, leaning back on her chair with a somber expression, "- I was at my wit's end as to how to keep you alive until your father arrived with the water. But in the end, all three of you lived. And that's all that matters."

Sooyoung and Amber couldn't help but appreciate and love Hyoyeon even more for all that she has done for them. "Thanks sis." Both of them said in unison. Hyoyeon chuckled at the sappy moment and changed the subject. 

"Enough about the sad, scary past.  Now we have Taeyeon to worry about. She is firm on meeting Tiffany and we can't keep her here forever. We can only stall her for so long. I told her to google up Tiffany's name."

"You really think there's more than 1 'Tiffany Hwang Miyoung' in the world?" Hyoyeon asked, skeptical about Sooyoung's ideas. "I mean, the heiress Tiffany Hwang Miyoung? The one Kim Taeyeon loves?"

"Well your idea of tying her up didn't work." Sooyoung rolled her eyes as Hyoyeon couldn't help but laugh in embarrassment. It was true. Hyoyeon tied Taeyeon to a chair to stop her from going out to search for Tiffany. But...Hyoyeon forgot to put away the knife that she had used to cut the rope and well, Taeyeon got a hold of it and freed herself. Hyoyeon was fortunate to catch Taeyeon before the latter escaped. Very lucky.

"Hey. I was in a rush to go see my special someone. I was sure both of you could have handled Taeyeon." Hyoyeon defended herself with a grim frown. 

"I did suggest just knocking her out and take her somewhere she can't find her way back."

Sooyoung and Hyoyeon both looked at Amber in disbelief. "You really that THE KIM TAEYEON will not be able to find her way back here? Correct me if I'm wrong my stupid sister, but didn't Taeyeon come back to South Korea, without our own father's knowledge?"

Amber rolled her eyes and crossed her arms to rest against her chest. " She had help from Kibum."

"Who she threatened to help her. Right now, Kibum might be at our dad's mercy."

"Actually-" Hyoyeon held up her phone to show a text she had just received from Donghae. "-it seems that your father and Kibum are here in Seoul. And well, listen to this-"

Hyoyeon played the voice message left by SooBer's dad and it was anything but happy. Once it was done, Hyoyeon sighed and put her phone back in her back pocket. "Don't worry." She assured with a nervous chuckle as she looked at the terrified SooBer. "As long as Taeyeon is here with us, everything will be fine.

"You're right." Sooyoung agreed with a smile before standing up. "Once dad gets here, he will talk sense into Taeyeon. She will most likely listen to him. Im going to bring some food for Taeyeon and try to talk to her again. She has been in there for the last 2 hours so I think she must have considered all that we said to her."

Once Sooyoung was gone, Hyoyeon leaned closer to Amber, with her hands placed under her chin. 

"What do you want?"

Hyoyeon had a chesire grin and honestly, it disgusted Amber. "Get away from me."  Amber pushed Hyoyeon away so she can have her personal space back. 

"Yah. Are you really going to continue treating Krystal like a..." Hyoyeon tried to think of the right word without offending or defending Krystal. One word and Amber might kill her...

"Like?" Amber raised an eyebrown, waiting for Hyoyeon to finish her sentence. 

"Like a...dark shadow of your past?" 

"..."

"How was that? Did I say it to your liking? Or should I refer to Krystal as a heartless? Or a cheater? Or a liar? Or a goddess of darkness? Or-" 

Amber shook her head and lightly punched Hyoyeon's stomach to shut her up. She then stood up to go to the kitchen for water, ignoring Hyoyeon's groan of pain. Amber rolled her eyes. She didn't even hit that hard...what a dramaqueen.

She wasn't even halfway to the kitchen when Sooyoung ran out. Her face pale with fear as she spoke the next words: 

"TAEYEON IS GONE!!!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Who the hell is calling me at this hour?!!!" Krystal angrily mumbled to herself as she stuck out her right arm to grab her phone, which was on the desk next to her bed. It was 1 am!!!

But when she saw who it was that was calling, Krystal's anger dissipated right away and was replaced with a big smile. She happily answered the call. 

"AMBER!!! What a surprise that-"

"WAKE UP TIFFANY RIGHT NOW AND OPEN THE DOOR."

"What?" Krystal was confused at this weird order, but nonetheless, wore her slippers, put on her robe and walked out of the room. " Why and what door?"

Krystals question was reciprocated with a frustrated sigh. "Just wake up everyone in the house and open the door for us."

Krystal stopped just outside Tiffany's door when she heard Amber's order. "What do you mean, 'us'?"

"I'm here with Hyoyeon...and-"

"And?"

There was a brief pause and then a bit of whispering and before Krystal got an answer. "You'll find out soon."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you mean Tiffany may or may not be in danger? " Mr. Hwang was very confused now. " I though everything was resolved and we can all live our lives peacefully now?" Standing in front of his family was Amber and Hyoyeon, who were trying to persuade them to leave their temporary home (vacation home in Gangnam) and go somewhere else.

"Well, it's complicated." Amber explained. "So for the meantime, stay at Victoria's house. At least until we get this 'problem' resolved."

"Isn't Victoria living there?"

"Yes Krystal she is. But she is aware of the problem and has agreed to stay in her condo for the time being."

Krystal narrowed her eyes at Amber, not liking what she was hearing. "Why? And where is the other person who is suppose to be wiht you two?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Hyoyeon. Amber made it seem like it was going to be a few of you coming here tonight on the phone. So where are the others?"

Hyoyeon exchanged knowing glances with Amber and knew exactly what to say. "They're waiting for us at Victoria's."

"And! I already told you why all of you must leave. Now come on, we are wasting time." Amber changed the subject, so as to avoid more questions and stalling of time. "Hurry."

"You never told us what the problem is." Tiffany stepped up to question the absurdity of the situation. "And Hyoyeon is very quiet. And why is it me specifically in trouble?"

"I have nothing to do with this.I'm a victim."

"Hyoyeon.Shut up."

"Yes Amber!" Now wasn't the time for jokes.

"We have to leave, now!" Amber got behind the family members and started to usher them out toward the door with very little help from Hyoyeon. "Yah! help me out!!!"

Hyoyeon jolted to life and began to help, apologizing every now and then to everyone but Amber.

But just as they got outside and was about to enter the van that Hyoyeon had driven there, a car pulled up the driveway, headlights blinding them. 

"Who is that?" Tiffany asked, shielding her eyes from the bright eyes and it wasn't until the lights were turned off that she was given any chance to see who it was in the car but it was too dark to see. 

"Oh s*hit!!!" (Hyoyeon)

"!!!" (Amber)

"Who are you?" Mr. Jung asked, stepping up closer to the figure, but keeping a safe distance incase it was someone bad. "I'm talking to you!" He yelled, when he received no answer. 

Amber and Hyoyeon quickly made their way to the mysterious person. Amber had to careful not to exert too much force or risk making her injuries worsen again. Unfortunately, Amber exerted a bit too much and halfway toward the figure, she bent down from the sudden pain from her ribs. Her bones were still in recovery. 

Naturally, Krystal rushed to help Amber, who was groaning to control her pain and balance. "Stupid! Be careful!" Krystal yelled but her eyes and voice were full of concern.

"What is wrong with the two of you?" A voice spoke from behind Hyoyeon, who also stopped to help Amber. 

That voice...

As the figure got closer and closer to the others and the light, the face got a bit clearer but before anyone can tell who it was, the person stopped.

"I'm here for one person."

Tiffany's heart rate increased exponentially when the voice was heard the second time, but closer to her. Is it...no it can't possibly be...

'Taeyeon'

"Tiffany! Stay here!!" Mrs. Hwang warned, trying to pull Tiffany by her arm when the latter unknowlingly got closer to the stranger, who is still hidden in the darkness. 

The figure smirked in the darkness upon hearing this name mentioned. And was just about to step into the light if Hyoyeon didn't intervene. Amber pushed back Krystal and rushed to help Hyoyeon hold back the unknown person. But the stranger refused to leave, so it proved to be a very difficult struggle. It started to get noisy with Amber constantly warning everyone to leave and go back inside but Tiffany refused. And then, it got quiet.

"Amber??" Krystal whispered, scared and concerned, taking a few steps forward. "come out. You're scaring me."

After a few minutes, someone did step out but it was neither Hyoyeon nor Amber.

Shock...that was an understatement when everyone saw who it was that came from the darkness. 

Slowly,calmly yet carefully, the person stepped froward into the light and flashed a smile to the speechless spectators. "It's been awhile."  And then focused on one, specific person...

"Jessica."

 Jessica didn't say anything. Nothing at all. Not that she could anyways because her world suddenly went dark, just like the darkness that was surrounding her in the night.

---------------------------------------------------

Jessica regained consciousness and found herself in a foreign place or rather a different room. This was definitely not her room. Jessica suddenly remembered last night's events and sat up abruptly. What she didn't notice or realize, was that there was another person in the room with her. 

"OW!!!" 

Jessica quickly stood up and grabbed the closest thing to her to use as a weapon. There was another person, specifically a woman in the same room wiht her. Jessica grabbed the glass of water next to her and held it tight, ready to throw it if necessary. 

The unidenitified woman slowly stood up, back facing Jessica. Jessica was about to throw the cup as the woman turned around but stopped herself when she finally saw who it was.

With heavy tremors and tears pooling in her eyes, Jessica literally dropped the cup on the carpet floor, ran toward the woman, and tackled her with a very, very tight hug!

"I-I can't breathe." 

Jessica couldn't believe it....

"Let-me-go...oxy-gen"

Jessica shook her head. She doesn't want to wake up from this dream. Never.

"Jessica!!!" Another voice intervened and before Jessica could stop the intruder, she was harshly pulled away from cloud 9....by none other than-

"Tiffany?" Jessica was confused. What is Tiffany doing in her dream? "Why are you in my dream? Leave so I can be alone with Sooyoung."

"Heh? Dream?" Tiffany laughed and shook her head. " You were suffocating your precious dream lover."

"Leave my dream!! Now!!" Jessica tried to push Tiffany out but stopped when she felt a familiar, warm sensation on her right arm. Jessica stopped and looked down at the hand on her arm and her eyes trailed the hand that eventually slid down to her wrist. Tiffany left the room, not wanting to disturb.

"Jessica."

Gulp...

"Are you not going to look at me?"

Gulp...Jessica gradually turned to look at the owner of the voice. And the sight she saw...was so heartwarming and unexplainable...

The woman laughed at Jessica's stunned expression and gently cupped Jessica's face in her hands. "Jessica. I'm not a dream."

"Is it..is it really you?" Jessica managed to ask, afraid of the answer. She has had many dreams like this but always wake up disappointed and heartbroken. 

"Why don't you hug me and tell me? But gently okay? Im a bit broken right now."

Jessica nervously walked closer to the woman and when close enough, rested her face on the woman's left chest, careful of the cast. 

Please...Jessica wants to hear it...

Dugeun...dugeun...

An arm draped around Jessica's waist, giving her a sense of warmth, protection and happiness. Only one person can affect her this way...

"Soo-Sooyoung." was the only name Jessica was able to say despite her shaking voice. "Is it-is it really you? Or is this another nightmare? Don't leave me anymore okay? I miss you so much!!!" Jessica desperately clutch on tighter to the woman she was hugging.

Jessica broke down crying in the woman's arms when she heard the next words. "This is reality. And I really  miss you too, Sica." 

A kiss to each of Jessica's eyes. "Stop crying."

Kiss to Jessica's tip of nose. "I miss you so much."

Kiss to Jessica's cheeks. "I'm sorry."

Kiss to Jessica's lips. "I want to be with you from now on, if you still want me."

Jessica smiled between her tears and responded in the best way she can.

After the kiss, Jessica led Sooyoung back to the bed and pushed Sooyoung to lay down on the bed. Jessica then took her rightful place next to Sooyoung, wasting no time to hug Sooyoung again, basking in Sooyoung's warmth.

"Don't stop loving me." Jessica ordered with a cute, but serious pout.

Sooyoung chuckled and carefully pulled Jessica closer to her. "Never."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tiffany sneaked away from the non-stop chatter that seems to have no end ever since last night's events. Everyone was gathered in Tiffany's home, along with Uncle Jae and Kibum. Tiffany escaped to her room and sat down on her bed, thinking about everything that Uncle Jae told her.

Everything starting from TaeSooBer's miraculous recovery from death by the help of the 'magic water', Taeyeon's disappearance from the hospital, Sooyoung's survival, Amber's whereabouts when she kept disappearing and most important to Tiffany, why Taeyeon left Japan (yes, that's  where she was hiding this whole time) and why Tiffany was in 'trouble'.

Tiffany reached over to grab the yellow envelope in front resting on the desk next to her bed. This was 1 of  3 envelopes given to her after the embezzlement of the company was resolved. Tiffany sighed and took out the contents in the  folder. The other 2 was with Krystal and Jessica, each with their own.

There was only one document in the folder. Tiffany hasn't looked at this since the day she received it.

A deed.

Not just any deed. But a property deed...a very valuable property deed that was used to save Tiffany and her family from losing everything. 

Tiffany was the sole owner to land that was worth over $5 billion dollars. 

Land that belonged to Taeyeon...

An inheritance gift that was left for Taeyeon by her parents...

...And given to Tiffany, by Taeyeon, to save her.

Tiffany smiled sadly when she saw Taeyeon's scribbled signature on the bottom of the paper before putting it back away. It was only a copy. The original has always been with Kibum. He was their self-appointed family lawyer after all. 

Tiffany then laid down on her bed, laying on her side as she stared at the warm body next to her. She then recalled Kibum's words spoken to her earlier:

"There was a condition given if Taeyeon was to ever give her family inheritance away. In fact, all of the deeds used to help your family had it's own crucial requirement."

Sooyoung was with Jessica at the moment while Amber was back as the hospital to get checked up by Donghae. So they weren't in this meeting.

Kibum then took out another document and putting it on the table,  he calmly said : " Taeyeon did this with good intentions."

"But this is-" Mr. Hwang looked at Kibum and Jae in absolute disbelief. He can't even finish what he wanted to say. Everyone knew what it was. Tiffany didn't know how to feel when she saw what Taeyeon had to do to help her...to protect her.

"The requirement to acquire the inheritance and be able to give it away at her own will, was to be-"

"...married? And to me?" Tiffany finshed for Jae. Jae nodded his head but this was to much...Tiffany was married to Taeyeon. "How did she get my signature?"

"Only Taeyeon will know that. But, tat's why she left to look for you Tiffany. But keep in mind that she does not remember you so she had to seek help from her sisters.  She is determined to get back what she believes in rightfully hers."

"Oh my god." It was too much...Tiffany felt overwhelmed with all this new information. 

"For now, just take care of her. It was hard enough to subdue her yesterday." Uncle Jae mentioned with warning and worry. "If I was not there, who knows what could have happened."

. 

Tiffany's reverie was broken when she felt the body next to her shift a bit, and Tiffany smiled when she saw the face in front of her. Tiffany got closer, draped an arm over the waist of the other person and laid down on the chest, just where the heart is. 

Carefully...

...Tiffany kissed Taeyeon's cheek and then nuzzled against the sleeping woman's neck, making sure to not hurt the latter.

"I won't allow you to leave me. " Another kiss to Taeyeon's neck as she gently caressed the peaceful, sleeping woman's smooth jaw. "I won't give up on you. Tae-Tae."

-------------------------------------------------

"I don't want to see your face again Jung." Amber hissed, putting on her shirt again, refusing help form Krystal. 

Krsytal was angered by this action and tried to help Amber again but was rejected, again. "Yah! I have to help you! You might hurt yourself again. Didn't you hear Donghae?!! He said that you will recover faster if you had help." 

"Not from you." Amber hissed venomously. "I don't want you touching me or talking to me. After what you did to me with Kai, you expect me to just forgive you and forget everything? Be real." Amber was finally able to put on her shirt and quiclkly left the hospital. " 

Krystal caught up to Amber and held the latter's hands forcefully. "Well if you are going home then you are going back with me."

Amber roughly pulled away from Krystal and lightly shoved Krystal away from her, not caring about how actions hurted the young Jung. "What? Are you going to cry? go ahead and cry. I'm not the weak, naive Amber that will always choose you and be there for you anymore. That Amber Liu died that day in the office with you and Kai. And my love died with you that day that I should have died."

"Amber. Please don't do this." Krystal pled with a shaky voice, as she clutched on to Amber's shirt by the waist. It's a good thing they were outside and there wasn't much people.  "you don't mean what you say."

Amber scoffed and pulled Krystal's hands away from her. "Don't touch me with those filthy  hands that you used on Kai!!! I'm not an angel too since I have always had a tainted history with blood. So leave me alone and dont come near me again! You understand?! We are over! You are just a stranger to me now. So off!!!" 

Amber exploded and then stormed off, leaving a heartbroken, crushed Krystal crying behind. never to look back. 

Hyoyeon happily exited the hospital and saw Krystal crouched down by the sidewalk crying, people looking at her weirdly or gathered around to stare at her with pity. 

"What the hell? I was literally gone for 5 minutes to sign discharge papers and all this happened?" Hyoyeon was beyond angry with Amber when Krystal told her what happened. But she can't blame Amber alone. "You know Krystal? Maybe Amber is right. Perhaps, both of you are better off strangers."

"No." Krystal glared at Hyoyeon, as if she wanted to kill Hyoyeon for even agreeing with Amber.

Hyoyeon held up her hands in surrender. "Hey. It saves both of you pain. Amber is very serious about this. I meand, you should be celebrating your freedom from Amber?"

"We're not over. I'll fix this. I won't give up on Amber. She loves me still and I know it. I-I won't give up and I'll fix this. I'll be the one to prove myself to her this time around."

Hyoyeon sighed and pulled Krystal for a hug to comfort her. "Okay. You have my support little Jung. Don't this up."

"Thanks Hyoyeon." It felt good knowing Hyoyeon was on her side. 

"YAH!!!Hands off that woman Kim Hyoyeon!!"

That scream defintely caused Hyoyeon to push Krystal away. It was a woman...

Hyoyeon looked nervous when the woman began to walk toward them, angry and menacingly.

"Oh sh*t!!!"

Krystal looked at Hyoyeon  weirdly. "You know her?"

"Uh...bye!" Hyoyeon ran off, not answering Krystal's answer. So when the woman finally approached Krystal, the young Jung was ready to fight in case the woman was crazy.

"I'll kill her later." 

"Huh?"

The woman smiled at Krystal and held out her hand. "You're Krystal Jung. Nice to meet you."

"Uh...okay." Krystal shook the woman's hands, unsure what to think of this situation. "Who are you?"

"I saw everything. You have  my support. You really Amber." The woman smiled. Krystal does not know how to respond since she doesnt even know this woman who knew her.

The woman laughed and pushed a strand of hair to the back of her hair. " I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself."

"You can do it now."

"Direct and blunt. Just like I have been told."

"..."

"I am Nicole Jung Kim. CEO Of NJ Corp."

"Hm...I have heard of that name before."

Nicole waved off Krystal's effort to recall who she was. Nicole seemed to care less.

"Don't worry about that. I have a more important title that I hold very dearly and strongly."

"Oh...you do?"

"Yes. Would you like to know?"

"Why don't you guess?" Nicole winked at Krystal, as she pointed at herself and then in the direction Hyoyeon ran off in.

"uh..." Krystal didn't understand. Is this a riddle?? "So your name is Nicole Jung Kim and you are a CEO and-" Krystal looked at Nicole, then in Hyoyeon's direction, and then did that a few more times, and then finally saw the ring on Nicole's left ring finger. It looked like it could have been a couple ring with Hyoyeon's- 

OMG...

Krystal was shocked and she stared wide-eyed at Nicole when it finally occurred to her what Nicole was trying to tell her. "OMG."

Nicole laughed and nodded her head to confirm Krystal's realization, as she flashed Krystal a bright, proud smile. "I am Kim Hyoyeon's wife."
