YulTi part 1

Tiffany was sitting in the office of the huge building of her and Jessica's company. It had gone well the 

last years for them and the company was going forward, not talking about that their parents were very 

proud of their success. Tiffany looked towards the desk that was opposite hers, a brunette sitting 

behind it. Tiffany sighed and placed her hands on top of her growing stomach.

The cravings were kicking in again, she thought she had already eaten a few minutes ago but it 

seemed that the other person she was feeding wasn't satisfied with the ham sandwich she had eaten. 

She bit on her lower lip and tried to suppress her cravings but it didn't go that well. She let out a sigh 

which made the other woman in the office look up from her work and eyeing the woman behind the 

other desk.

"Is it kicking again?" Jessica asked and returned to her pile of papers in front of her.

Tiffany looked up from her hands and looked at the person that had spoken, she chuckled and leaned 

back in her chair rubbing her stomach. "No, I'm hungry." Tiffany confessed.

Jessica looked towards her pregnant best friend with a raised eyebrow, eyeing the stomach before  she 

looked at Tiffany's face. She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair as well. "Didn't you just eat 

a whole sandwich?"

Tiffany giggled. "I did. But I'm craving something sweet now." Tiffany said and ended with a cute pout. 

Jessica continued to look at her best friend with a raised eyebrow.

"Call Yuri and tell her to bring you something sweet." Jessica said and continued with her paper work. 

Tiffany continued to pout even more.

"But Yuri is working, I can't just call her and interrupt her work." Tiffany said with a pout. Jessica 

glanced at Tiffany and shook her head in disbelief.

"Yuri is working for your father, I'm sure your father would let Yuri go if it's to his pregnant daughter." 

Jessica said and continued signing papers. Tiffany let out a sigh and slumped her shoulders down.

"But I told Yuri-ah that I wouldn't disturb her at work today." Tiffany pouted. Jessica slammed her pen 

down startling Tiffany, she looked at Jessica and hoped she hadn't angered the woman.

"Stupid pen." Jessica muttered and stood up from her chair and walked towards a shelf in the room, 

she rummaged through some things before she brought out another pen and returned to her seat. 

Tiffany continued to look at her friend to see if Jessica was angry or not.

Jessica picked up the phone that was on her desk and pressed a button. Tiffany now looked at the girl 

with questioning eyes. Jessica kept her eyes at the papers on her desk to not make eye contact with 

her best friend.

"Boram?" Jessica asked when a person on the other line had picked up.

"You're not busy now right? Good. Bring coffee for me and Mrs. Kwon-Hwang. We want our usual." 

Jessica said and ended the call. Tiffany's face brighten up when Jessica's call had ended.

"We don't have an assistant for nothing." Jess ica said and returned to her work. With a wide smile on 

her lips Tiffany also returned to try to do some of her work before their assistant arrived with their 

coffee.

After a few minutes of the sound of scribbling pens a short woman with brown hair put up in a pony-tail 

walked into the office. Both Jessica and Tiffany looked up at the newly arrived person, a satisfied smile 

came upon their lips when they saw the coffee cups in the younger woman's hands.

"Here's the coffees you requested Ms. Jung." The young woman said and placed one cup on each desk 

before she bowed to both of her bosses and left the office.

"That was fast." Tiffany chimed and grabbed the cup in front of her and took a sip of it. Jessica also 

grabbed the cup but could only bring it up to her lips before something else distracted her. She placed 

her cup back down when the sight of a teary eyed Tiffany startled her.

"What's wrong?" Jessica asked and almost stood up from her chair. Tiffany wiped the tear that had 

rolled down her cheek.

"It's not the coffee I usually drink." Tiffany sniffled. Jessica blinked to try to understand what's so sad 

about that but instead she took a sip of her coffee to see if their coffee's might have been mixed up. Not 

tasting anything wrong with her coffee she st ood up and walked over to Tiffany's desk and took a sip of 

her best friend coffee, Tiffany looked at Jessica that examined her coffee. The coffee was indeed 

wrong, this coffee tasted exactly the same as hers.

Jessica placed down Tiffany's coffee on the desk and placed a hand on her hip. "Can't you drink that 

coffee for now?" Jessica asked and looked at her teary eyed friend. Tiffany looked shocked at Jessica.

"No, I want my coffee. Not the thing you drink!" Tiffany shouted angry. Jessica was a bit taken a  back 

by Tiffany shouting at her. But that should be expected by a pregnant woman. Jessica tried to act cool 

and instead brushed it off walking towards her desk instead.

"Okay, I'll tell Boram to bring you a new coffee." Jessica said calmly. Tiffany scoff ed.

"Save it. I'll do it myself because you obviously can't order the right thing." Tiffany said and proceed to 

call Boram. Jessica spun around on her heels and faced her best friend, dumbfounded by what she just 

had heard.

"Yah, I don't care how angry you get when you have your mood swings but it was clearly not my fault 

that you got the wrong coffee." Jessica said angry for being accused for something she couldn't help.

"Whatever. I won't drink coffee." Tiffany said and crossed her arms. Jessica let out a sigh and pinched 

her nose bridge.

"This is why I wanted you to stay at home to work for the last weeks during your pregnancy, so I don't 

have to deal with your mood swings." Jessica said and looked up at Tiffany.

"Oh, so you don't want me here?" Tiffany said hurt. Jessica sighed again.

"No, I want you here, but not in the state you're in now." Jessica said and sighed. Tiffany crossed her 

arms, tears welling up in her eyes again.

"I see how it is." She said and started picking with the papers on her  desk. Jessica pinched her nose 

bridge again.

"No you don't." Jessica said and turned towards her desk. "Can't you go home?" Jessica asked and 

looked at the teary eyed Kwon-Hwang.

"No, there workers at our home. They're designing the baby room." Tiffany s aid without looking up from 

her paper work.

"Your parents home?"

Tiffany stopped in her action and looked up at Jessica that was leaning against her desk. Tiffany shook 

her head no and continued sorting out her papers. "No, I don't want to bother them."

Jessica sighed again. "Didn't your mother say you're welcome there any time you want if you need 

help?" Jessica said.

"I said I.DO.NOT.WANT to bother them." Tiffany emphasized her words. Jessica let out another sigh.

"But it would be the best for now. You're not in a state to be in an office working with me, I'm sure we 

would get more done during this time if we work at two different places; we won't argue about small 

things."

Tiffany glared at Jessica. "Small things? You call this small things? You're saying me being pregnant is 

a problem. It's not small!" Tiffany shouted angry.

Jessica sighed again. She was tired of this, they didn't get anything done by arguing about this and she 

had a plan to make Tiffany go home no matter what. She turned to her desk and picked up her phone 

that were lying beside a pile of papers. Tiffany looked questioning at her best friend and wondered what 

Jessica was up to.

"Yuri get your pregnant wife out of our office and bring her home to her parents." Jessica said to the 

person on the other line. Tiffany gaped at her friend in shock. She couldn't believe she called Yuri to 

bring her home.

"Yuri-ah don't listen to her!" Tiffany shouted across the room.

"Yeah, okay. She doesn't listen to me so bring her to her parents house, where she can work and being 

taken care of at the same time. Yeah, thank you." Jessica said and ended her call. Tiffany continued to 

look at her shocked by what she had just done.

"Why did you call Yuri out of all people?" Tiffany asked angry.

"To get you home. Seriously Tiff, look at you, you're not in a state to work here. Arguing with me won't 

be good for the baby, just imagine the stress you're putting yourself and the baby through. I don't think 

you want your and Yuri's first baby to get damaged even before birth." Jessica said with a gentle tone.

Tiffany let the words sink in and sat back down on her chair again, feeling tears welling up in her eyes 

again. She blinked away the tears and looked away from Jessica that still stood in front of her and 

looked at her. She exhaled and slumped further down in the chair.

"We just don't want anything to happen to you or the baby. Do you think I want something to h appen to 

my best friend and unborn godchild?" Jessica said with a gentle smile. Tiffany sighed and wiped her 

cheeks to make sure there were no tears on her cheeks when Yuri arrived. She turned to the piles of 

papers on her desk and started organizing them again.

"I'll go home to my parents house with Yuri. But I won't be there without doing any work, so what do you 

want me to do while I'm there?" Tiffany spoke more calmly this time. A satisfied smile appeared on the 

Jung's lips and she walked towards Tiffany's desk to help the woman find the right papers.

"What about the meeting tomorrow?" Tiffany asked and looked up at the woman that was putting in 

papers in a folder for her. Jessica placed the pink folder in front of her pink loving friend and smiled.

"I'll handle it myself, don't worry. I'll mail you about the meeting when it's over." Jessica said with a 

smile. Tiffany sighed.

"I will feel bad if I let you do everything." Tiffany said with a pout. Jessica smiled.

"Don't feel bad. I help you now so you can get the family you want and when it's time for it, you'll help 

me." Jessica said still with a gentle smile. Tiffany looked shocked at her friend.

"You're thinking about getting a family with Taeyeon?" Tiffany asked hopefully. The Jung's cheek turned 

a bright shade of pink and she turned away from her friend and coughed awkwardly.

"No, I didn't mean that. I meant that when I might need help you'll help me. Cause you owe me from this 

time." Jessica explained herself.

"Because you'll start a family wit h Taeyeon." Tiffany said with a wide grin. Jessica let out a sigh.

"No!" Jessica almost whined. And before Tiffany could say anything else the door to the office opened 

and a tanned woman with long black hair entered the office. Upon seeing the woman Tiff any smiled 

even wider and Jessica let out a sigh of relief.

"Yuri-ah!" Tiffany happily shouted and extended her arms for a hug. Yuri smiled and walked up to her 

wife and hugged her and gave her a kiss.

"Okay, lets get you to your parents house. Do you have the things you need?" Yuri said and looked at 

all the papers on the desk.

"Those folders and that bag." Tiffany said and pointed at the things she was going to bring home. Yuri 

grabbed the said folders and took the bag that stood beside Tiffany's desk and swung it around her 

shoulder.

"That's everything?" Yuri asked and looked at Jessica.

"Yes, I'll mail her the rest of the papers." Jessica said and walked back to her desk.

Yuri nodded her head before she looked at Tiffany that was busy putting on her jacket. Yuri smiled and 

walked up to the woman and helped her to put in her arms. Tiffany smiled at her and gave her a kiss on 

the cheek.

"I'm going now, Jessi. Call me if there is any problem, okay?" Tiffany said before she proceed to walk 

out of the office.

"Okay, okay. Take it easy now Tiff!" Jessica said and sat down on her seat. Tiffany smiled and waved at 

Jessica before she excited the office holding Yuri's free hand.

The happily married couple walked through the company building, greeting employees on the way. 

When they had excited the building they went to the parking lot where Yuri's car was parked. Yuri 

opened the door for Tiffany to enter and closed it after her. She placed Tiffany's things in the backseat 

before she went to the drivers seat and got in.

When the engine had started Yuri drove towards the engine. Both females in the car was always 

smiling and Yuri took secret glances at Tiffany as she drove. Everytime she stopped at a red light she 

took the time they stood still to hold Tiffany's hand and look into her wife's beautiful eyes or pat the 

stomach where her future child was.

When they had arrived at the big Hwang mansion Yuri quickly got out of the car and went to the 

passenger seat to help Tiffany out. She took out Tiffany's things from the backseat and grabbed one of 

Tiffany's hands with her free one and both of them walked towards the large house.

When they stood at the front door Tiffany pressed the doorbell and it didn't take long time before one of 

the maids opened the door. W hen the maid saw the young couple she quickly let them in a bowed to 

them and wished them welcome.

"Is my mom here?" Tiffany asked the maid when she had stopped bowing.  

"Yes, she's in the living room." The maid said and led the two younger women towards  the living room. 

When they came there they saw an older lady, having some resemblance of Tiffany, sitting at one of 

the couches there. When she saw the two visitors she broke into a wide smile and she stood up to give 

them a hug.

"Hello!" Mrs. Hwang said and hugged both Yuri and Tiffany. She eyed her daughter and a proud smile 

crossed her lips.

"You're so beautiful. Is the baby okay?" Mrs. Hwang asked and led both Yuri and Tiffany towards the 

couches and made them take a seat. She took a seat on the arm c hair adjacent to the couch.

"Yes, the baby is fine. I was on a check up last Friday I think." Tiffany said and looked at Yuri that 

nodded her head.

"Yes, the doctor said there isn't any problems with the baby. Tiffany just need to take it more easy." Yur i 

said and squeezed Tiffany's hand that she was still holding. Tiffany tried to suppress a smile, she was 

happy that Yuri was so caring about her.

"I've told you that you can come here and let us take care of you when Yuri is working, dear." Mrs. 

Hwang said and placed a hand on Tiffany's lap.

"I know, that's why I've come here now. I'll do my work here while I'm being watched by you and the 

maids. Jessi didn't let me stay in the office." Tiffany said with a pout. Mrs. Hwang looked at her with a 

knowing look.

"It's because she cares about you." Mrs. Hwang said and patted Tiffany's thigh. Tiffany smiled at her 

mother.

"I know." Tiffany said still with her bright smile.

Mrs. Hwang smiled and turned towards Yuri. "My husband speaks so much good about you. You're so 

hardworking. Do you even have time to be at home when you work that much?" Mrs. Hwang asked the 

tanned woman. Yuri just smiled and Tiffany looked proudly at her  wife.

"Yes, I always manages to be at home and spend time with Tiffany. And Tiffany gives me so much 

energy that I work even harder." Yuri said and wrapped an arm around Tiffany's waist. Mrs. Hwang 

watched with a pleased expression how the couple interacted.

"That's good. But I'm gonna make sure my husband let you off for some time when the baby is born. 

You should spend time with the baby and Tiffany once it's born." Mrs. Hwang said and winked.

"Thank you." Yuri said with a smile.

"So, do you want tea or coffee?" Mrs. Hwang asked and stood up.

"It's okay, mom. I need to get back to work, I only left to be able to bring Tiffany here." Yuri said and 

stood up. Mrs. Hwang looked at the tanned woman with a little disappointed look.

"Too bad, I wanted to have you here to talk to you. But if you really have to go I can't force you to stay." 

She said. "I'm gonna make my husband give you a month off so you can spend time with my daughter 

and your mother-in -law!" Mrs. Hwang jokingly said.

Yuri laughed and hugged the older woman. "Thank you. I'll make sure to come and visit when I have 

time." Yuri said and broke the embrace. Yuri turned towards Tiffany that still was seated on the couch.

"Take care now, okay?" Yuri said and gave a kiss on Tiffany's lips. "Don't  work too hard now. I'll come 

and pick you up after I've finished at work." Yuri said and winked. Tiffany smiled and stood up to follow 

her wife to the door.

Tiffany and her mother watched as Yuri drove away from the Hwang mansion. Once the car was out of

the way Tiffany let out a sigh and turned to all the things she had gotten help from Yuri to bring here. 

She wanted to start working right away.

"I'll go to the study room to finish my work." Tiffany said to her mother and bent down to pick up the 

things. Her mother however stopped her.

"Let the butler take that. You can go to the study and I'll come up with some good tea for you later." 

Tiffany's mother said and smiled at her daughter. Tiffany nodded and turned to climb up the stairs.

When she finally was on the second floor she was breathing heavily because she is caring on a weight 

she isn't used to have. While she walked to the room that was located opposite her old bedroom she 

talked to herself.

"Once I've given birth to this kid I'm gonna start exercising to get my stamina back. Walking up the 

stairs and feeling like dying isn't good for the health." Tiffany panted and opened the room to the room 

opposite her bedroom.

In the room was a desk located by the window and the rest of the walls in the ro om was only 

bookshelves. In this room had Tiffany spent most of her younger days studying to tests and exams she 

had in school. At the point when she had just arrived in Korea she also had home tutoring here to learn 

Korean before she could start in a Korean school. Tiffany smiled as she remembered those days.

"I feels like such a long time since I used this room. Now I'm married and about to have my first kid." 

Tiffany said and walked to her desk and let her fingers slide on the wooded surface.

"Here are your things, Mistress Tiffany. Where do you want me to put them?" A man's voice was heard. 

Tiffany turned around and saw the butler that had been working for them since forever. Tiffany greeted 

him with a smile.

"You can just put them on the desk." Tiffany said and pointed at the desk. The butler did what he was 

told and Tiffany took her seat behind the desk with a satisfied smile. She started unpacking her things 

when the butler had left.

When she had prepared her laptop and picked out the papers she needed for today's work a knock was 

heard on the door to the study room and Tiffany's mother came in. Tiffany greeted her mother with a 

smile.

"I have tea that's good for you." Her mother said and walked towards the desk and placed the cup of 

tea she had brought.

"Thank you." Tiffany said and took a sip of the tea. "It's really good!" She exclaimed. Her mother smiled 

at her after hearing the answer.

"I always drank this when I was pregnant with you and Ida. And look at you now, both of you are 

healthy as ever." Her mother said proudly. Tiffany could only smile at her mother.

When Tiffany's mother left the office Tiffany continued with her work. Her work however got interrupted 

by either the butler or the maid that was sent by Tiffany's mother to check on her every hour. 

Sometimes they had something to eat or drink with them. Tiffany's mother wasn't someone that was 

going to let her daughter work without eating and drinking.

When the maid had come to the office for the fifth time that day Tiffany sighed and said she was done 

with her work and would go down stairs. The maid brighten up and bowed to Tiffany. 

"Yes, ma'am." The maid said and left Tiffany to finish up the last parts of her work. She faxed some 

documents to Jessica and sent away the last e-mail's for today before she closed her laptop and 

proceed to put it back in the computer bag but stopped herself.

"I'm going here tomorrow as well, I might just leave the things as they are." Tiffany said and placed 

back the laptop on the desk and left the office to go down stairs.

When she came to the first floor of the house she found her mother in the living room. She went there 

to talk a bit to her mother before she would call Yuri and see when her wife could pick her up. Her 

mother smiled when she saw her youngest daughter entering the living room.

"Did work go well?" Mrs. Hwang asked after Tiffany had taken a seat on the couch adjecent to the 

armchair she was seated on.

"Yes, I'm surprised I could finish it so fast even though the maid and butler constantly checked up on 

me." Tiffany said jokingly. Mrs. Hwang just chuckled.

"I just wanted to be sure my daughter had everything she needed when she was working." Mrs. Hwang 

said and patted Tiffany's knee. Tiffany smiled at her mother.

"I'm gonna call Yuri and see when she will finish work." Tiffany said and held up her cell phone. Mrs. 

Hwang nodded in acknowledgement.

Tiffany pressed the number one on her speed dial and listened to the dial tone as she waited for Yuri to 

answer. After three rings a voice was heard on the other line and she smiled brightly. Mrs. Hwang that 

was looking at her daughter couldn't help to smile when she saw her daughter so happy.

"Yuri-ah, are you busy?" Tiffany asked the woman on the other line.

"No, not right now, honey. Why?" Yuri said.

"I just wanted to ask when you'll pick me up." Tiffany said with a cheeky smile. She could hear Yuri 

chuckle on the other side.

"I'll come around 7pm. Is that alright?" Yuri said with a gentle voice.

"Huh, that long?" Tiffany said disappointed. Yuri chuckled again.

"I'm sorry, honey. I can't get off any earlier than that." Yuri apologized. Tiffany frowned.

"I'll make sure to talk to my dad later." Tiffany said angry.

"Do that. I'm sorry Fany-ah, but I have to go now. I'll come and pick you up as fast as I can, okay?" Yuri 

said with an apologetic tone. Tiffany sighed.

"Okay, good luck on work."

"Thank you. I love you."

"Love you too." Tiffany said and the dial tone started beeping in her ear again. With a sigh she removed 

the device from her ear and stared at it angry.

"Was she busy?" Mrs. Hwang asked her daughter and placed a hand on Tiffany's knee. Tiffany sighed 

and looked up and met her mother's eyes.

"No, it's just she won't be able to get off work until 7pm." Tiffany said with a po ut. 

"Ah, your dad is pressing the emploees as much he can. And Yuri won't be an exception even though 

she's married to his daughter." Mrs. Hwang said. Tiffany exhaled some air and leaned back on the back 

rest of the couch. "Don't get angry over this. I'll make sure to talk to him about it." Tiffany's mother said 

and patted Tiffany's knee.

Tiffany had to wait for Yuri's arrival for two hours. And she spent those two hours in the living room with 

her mother not saying much because she was sulking over how her father could still treat Yuri like any 

other employer even though she was married to the girl and everything. She thought her father was 

very unfair.

After one and a half hours waiting Tiffany got surprised when she heard her father's voice in the 

hallway. She stood up and walked to the hallway with her mother to greet her father that had left work 

before her wife, and her father was the owner of the company. Tiffany was not pleased at all.

"Daddy, where's Yuri-ah?" Tiffany asked in sweet voice as she watched her father take off his coat.

"Yuri? Oh, she's at work finishing up some works I assigned to her." He said with a smile. The youngest 

daughter of the Hwang family frowned and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Dad, you know full well that Yuri is married to a woman that's pregnant, and that woman happened to 

be your daughter. Can't you go a bit easy on her?" Tiffany asked with the sweetest smile she could 

muster up.

"It's not that easy sweetheart. I don't want the other's to think I'm going easy o n Yuri because she's 

married to my daughter, that's why I'm doing this." Mr. Hwang said and patted Tiffany's head before he 

walked pass her to the living room. Tiffany's smile faded and was replaced with a frown.

"Yah, dad! Yuri has a pregnant wife! You s hould go easy on her!" Tiffany whined and followed her 

father to the living room.

"That wouldn't be fair for the other employees." Her father reasoned. Tiffany frowned and glared at her 

father. Mrs. Hwang patted Tiffany's back to calm her fuming daughter  down.

"But it's unfair for Yuri, if the other employees are getting married or getting a bigger family you always 

let them off and welcome them with open arms later on, why is Yuri an exception?" Tiffany asked.

"It's not that easy, sweetheart."

"Dad, stop treating me like I was five. I'm twenty four and have my own company now for godsake! I 

know full well what's easy and not when it comes to these things." Tiffany reasoned. Mr. Hwang looked 

up at his daughter and smiled.

"Take it easy, Fany. Think about the baby." He said.

Tiffany groaned and turned around and left the living room. "I can't believe you, dad!" She shouted and 

stomped her way to the kitchen. Mrs. Hwang looked disappointed at her husband before she followed 

her daughter to the kitchen.

"Calm down. I'll talk to him later." Mrs. Hwang said and rubbed her daughter's back. She motioned for 

the maid that was in the kitchen to make some tea and she hurriedly went to do her assigned job.

"It's just that he treats me like I was still some kind of kid. I'm gonna have a family soon!" Tiffany said 

and sat down on one of the kitchen chairs. Her mother did the same and sat down on the chair beside 

her.

"I know, I know. But let me tell you something, no matter how old you get, how succesful you get an d 

how big family you have you'll always be a kid in his eyes. You're his precious little jewel." Mrs. Hwang 

said and stroked Tiffany's hair. Tiffany sighed and stared at the tea cup the maid just placed in front of 

her.

"But he sure treats Ida as an adult." Tiffany muttered before she took a sip of the tea. Mrs. Hwang 

smiled.

"It's because she's your older sister." Mrs. Hwang said and took a sip from her tea as well.

"I don't see any difference." Tiffany said and placed down the tea cup and cupped her ha nds around it.

"The difference is that she was born first." Tiffany's mother explained. Tiffany let out a sigh.

The door bell was heard and Tiffany peeked her ears up to hear who it was. The maid opened the door 

and greeted the person who just arrived. Tiffany's face brighten up when she saw the maid show Yuri 

the way to the kitchen where she was. She smiled brightly when she her wife walked up to her and 

gave her a hug and a kiss.

"Hello." Yuri said and hugged Mrs. Hwang as well.

"Hello, Yuri. We've been waiting for you."

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry I couldn't leave earlier." Yuri apologized and took a seat to on Tiffany's right 

side.

"It's okay, dear." Mrs. Hwang mused. "Do you want some tea?" She asked and glanced at the cups in 

front of her and Tiffany.

"Yes, I can drink one cup before we go home. That's alright, right honey?" Yuri said and intertwined her 

fingers with Tiffany's. Tiffany smiled and nodded in answer.

Mrs. Hwang motioned for the maid to bring a cup of tea for Yuri as well and minutes later Yuri also had 

a cup of tea she was sipping on. Mrs. Hwang smiled at her daughter and daughter -in -law that looked so 

happy together.

"The tea is really good!" Yuri exclaimed after she had tasted it. Mrs. Hwang smiled even wider.

"I know. It's really good for pregnant women, but I'm sure you might need it as much Tiffany does. 

You're the one that need to keep up with her mood swings and cravings." Mrs. Hwang joked.

"Mom!" Tiffany whined and her mother and Yuri started laughing.

"No, actually Tiffany doesn't have that much cravings anymore, and I've gotten used to her mood 

swings." Yuri said and patted Tiffany's head.

"You're so nice, Yuri. I'm sure you're just saying that." Mrs. Hwang chuckled.

"Mom!" Tiffany whined once again.

"I'm just joking with you, dear." Mrs. Hwang said and patted Tiffany's shoulder. The daughter pouted at 

her mother for teasing her like that.

The three women continued to chat in the kitchen as they drank their tea. The most things they talked 

about was the future baby that would come in a few months. Mrs. Hwang was already excited over her 

first grandchildren. She wondered how it was going with the baby room in Tiffany and Yuri's house.

"Because we're not sure whatever it will be a boy or a girl we will wait with painting t he room. We have 

however gotten our eyes on some furniture for the room, and the furniture is in either blue or pink so we 

can just order them when the baby is born." Yuri said. Mrs. Hwang nodded satisfied.

"But all the security things and those necessary things are already done?" Mrs. Hwang asked.

"Yes, they were fixing those things today." Yuri said and nodded.

"I see, you've thought about everything." Mrs. Hwang said and smiled.

"All thanks to the list you gave us after we had told you about the preg nancy." Yuri said with a smile.

"Oh, it's true. She checks the list every night and morning to make sure we've thought about everything 

before the baby is born." Tiffany said and pointed at Yuri. "It feels like she looks more on that list than 

me!"

"No, that's not true." Yuri mused and circled her arm around Tiffany's waist. "Hehe, your stomach is 

cute." Yuri said and rubbed the lump under Tiffany's shirt. A blush appeared on Tiffany's cheeks and 

she pushed away Yuri's hand.

"Not in front of my mom." Tiffany hissed, her face red as a tomato.

"No, let her continue. It's cute." Mrs. Hwang said with a wide smile.

Tiffany looked down on Yuri's hand she was holding between both of her hands to keep her wife from 

embarrassing her in front of her mother. She sighed and let go of Yuri's hand but Yuri just placed her 

hand on Tiffany's stomach and kept it there.

"Your father was never that loving when I was pregnant, and I've been it two times and he never cared 

so much about me!" Mrs. Hwang exclaimed. Tiffany just smiled.

"I guess I'm lucky." Tiffany said and stroked Yuri's hand.

Mrs. Hwang smiled proudly and watched her daughter being lost in the world of love when she stared 

into Yuri's eyes. As a mother this was the only thing she wished for, for her daughte r to be truly happy 

with the one she love.

"Honey, maybe it's time for us to go home." Yuri said and grabbed Tiffany's hand that was lying on top 

of hers. Tiffany turned to the clock on the wall to see how much the time was. It was almost 8pm.

"Yeah, we should go." Tiffany said.

The three women in the kitchen maid their way to the hallway where they stopped to bid goodbye of 

Tiffany's parents for the night. Mrs. Hwang hugged both her daughter and daughter-in -low and wished 

them a save drive and a good night. Tiffany and Yuri bid good bye and wished Mr. Hwang a good night 

as well but he was too busy watching baseball that he couldn't bid them farwel by the door.

Mrs. Hwang stood bye the door until Yuri and Tiffany was inside the car and it was on the way away 

from the Hwang residence. When they finally was on the road to their own home Tiffany let out a sigh.

"It's exhausting being at my parents house." Tiffany said.

"Why so?" Yuri asked and kept her eyes on the road.

"Everyone wants to take care of me like I was some kind of kid." Tiffany mumbled and pouted. Yuri 

chuckled and quickly took a glance of her pouting wife.

"You sure it you they want to take care of and not the little baby in your stomach?" Yuri asked. Tiffany 

looked down on the lump on her  stomach, she stroked it and looked up at the road.

"I don't know."

"I'm sure they want to take care of both of you." Yuri said with a smile.

Tiffany smiled and rubbed her stomach. "Yeah."

After a fifteen minutes long drive Yuri turned left into a driveway to a big white house. Both Yuri and 

Tiffany went out of the car and hand in hand they walked to the house they had gotten as a wedding 

present from their parents.

They entered their big house and Yuri closed and locked the door after them. With a hand on Tiffany's 

back they went into their unecessarly big kitchen where Tiffany took a seat by the counter while Yuri 

went to the refrigerator.

"Want something to eat?" Yuri asked while she rummaged through the things in the refrigerator.

"Just something small." Tiffany said and smiled while she watched her wife work in the kitchen.

"Ham sandwich?" Yuri asked and took out ham and bread.

"Our child will become a ham sandwich lover if I continue eating ham sandwiches like this." Tiffany said 

with a smile. Yuri smiled as well.

"I volunteer to make ham sandwiches if that happens." Yuri said and started cutting the ham to put it on 

the bread.

With a satisfied smile Tiffany watched Yuri making their after noon meal. When Yuri was done with the 

sandwich both she and Tiffany went to the living room where they plopped down on the big pink couch.

While Yuri turned on the TV Tiffany started eating on the sandwich her wife had made for her. With her 

mouthful she looked to her left where Yuri was and noticed Yuri hadn't made anything for herself.

"Why aren't you eating anything?" Tiffany asked after she had chewed and swallowed her bite.

"Because I ate at work." Yuri said with a smile.

Tiffany frowned and looked at the sandwich. "I will feel fat if I'm the only one eating late at night." She 

mumbled and glared at her sandwich. Yuri laughed and patted Tiffany's head.

"Remember you are eating for two people now. Think about the sandwich as something our kid wants 

to eat." Yuri said and placed a hand on the lump on Tiffany's stomach. Tiffany broke into wide grin.

"Yeah, but our kid wants appa to eat as well." Tiffany said and reached out the sandwich for Yuri to take 

a bite of it. Yuri took a large bite of the sandwich, just to make Tiffany happy and Tiffany watched a s 

Yuri was chewing.

"Good?" Tiffany asked and took another bite of the sandwich. Yuri nodded her head.

"Yeah, my usual ham sandwich with a bit of Fany saliva." Yuri said and rubbed her chin like she was 

thinking.

"Yah!" Tiffany elbowed Yuri but Yuri dodged it. She knew that was coming. "It's not like I drool all over 

my food when I eat!" Tiffany said angry.

"I know, I know. I was joking with you, honey." Yuri said and kissed Tiffany's temple. Happily Tiffany 

continued to munch on her sandwich and together they watched the TV. A usual night for the married 

couple.

A hour later after Tiffany had finished her sandwich the couple decided it was time to go to bed. Hand in 

hand they went upstairs to their bedroom. They both got ready for bed inside the bathro om located near 

their bedroom before they went to bed.

Tiffany was already lying in bed when she felt the mattress dip down when weight was added. The light 

in the room was switched off and an arm was placed around her waist. She smiled when she felt Yuri

lean her head against her shoulder.

"Will you drive me to my parents house tomorrow as well?" Tiffany asked and played with Yuri's fingers.

"Of course. I told you I wouldn't let you drive when you're carrying our baby." Yuri said from behind her. 

Yuri's warm breath brushed against her exposed shoulder.

"Because you're worried about me or the baby?"

"Both of course."

"Good answer." Tiffany turned around in Yuri's embrace and kissed the tanned woman. Yuri smiled and 

kissed Tiffany as well. With her head leaned against Yuri's chest Tiffany succumb to slumber and the 

soon-to-be parents fell asleep.

YulTi - Part 2

The reflection of a woman with long black hair was seen in the full body mirror. She was tying a tie 

around her neck and smiled when she thought it looked good. She straighten out it with her hand 

together with her blouse.

She turned to the bed of the room and saw a sleeping figure still sleeping on the bed. She smiled and 

walked closer to the bed, taking a seat beside the sleeping figure and leaned closer to the figures face.

She kissed the exposed shoulder and continued to kiss the person all the way to the forehead where 

she stopped. She noticed the sleeping person was frowning and she smiled against the forehead her 

lips were still lingering on.

"Fany-ah. Wake up." Yuri said and leaned away from Tiffany. With a pout Tiffany opened her eyes and 

turned to her wife that was sitting beside her. Yuri beamed a wide grin at her newly awoken wife but 

Tiffany thought it was way too early for smiling and turned around to go back to sleep.

"Fany, I need to drive you to your parents’ house." Yuri said and lightly shook Tiffany's shoulder.

"Can't you go to work later today?" Tiffany groggily asked.

"I'm sorry. I can't." Yuri said and kissed Tiffany's cheek. Tiffany sighed and opened her eyes. She 

proceed to sit up which went slowly cause of the extra weight she was carrying due to the baby she 

was carrying. She let out an exhausted sigh when she managed to sit up.

"Your baby is heavy." Tiffany muttered and got out of bed with one hand on her big stomach. Yuri was 

just smiling and went to her wife's side and put on a bathrobe on her wife before following her 

downstairs to the kitchen.

They went down to the kitchen where Tiffany sat down by the kitchen table and Yuri went to get the 

breakfast for her wife. Yuri had already eaten but she had prepared for Tiffany as well. She placed the 

plate of food in front of the pregnant woman and sat down opposite her.

Tiffany started eating and glanced at her wife that was staring at her while she was eating. She frowned 

and took a bite of one of the sausages.

"You know I don't like it when you stare." Tiffany said and chewed on her food.

"I know, but I can't help it. You're so beautiful that I can't take my e yes of you." Yuri said with a wide 

grin. Tiffany smiled and continued to eat her breakfast.

"You think I'm beautiful even though I have this big belly?" Tiffany asked and took a sip from her orange 

juice. Yuri continued to smile.

"Yes, because what's inside the belly is what represents our love for each other." Yuri said. Tiffany 

blushed and stared at her plate. Yuri was indeed good with words.

Tiffany finished her breakfast and later went upstairs again to fix herself before Yuri would drive her to 

her parents’ house. Yuri was left in the kitchen clearing up the dishes. They had a maid that would 

come over to clean for them but Yuri had a habit to do the dishes before she went to work because she 

had always done it until Tiffany's parents had suggested that they should hire a maid.

When Yuri was done with the dishes she went to go to their living room but stopped on her way out and 

looked at a calendar hanging on the wall beside the door to the kitchen. A wide smile appeared on her 

lips when she looked at it. A red circle was around the 27 of the month, which was almost a week from 

the day it was today. With pink letters it was written 'baby arrival'. Yuri smiled even wider and went to 

the living room.

She picked up the newspaper that was lying on the coffee table in front of the couch and took a seat in 

the couch. She turned to the sport page and started reading while she waited for Tiffany to get ready. It 

took about thirty minutes for Tiffany to get ready and the woman with the big belly came down the 

stairs.

Yuri looked up from the newspaper when Tiffany came into the living room. In Yuri's eyes Tiffany's 

beauty was glowing and she couldn't help herself but to smile when the other woman was in her 

presence. She placed the newspaper down on the coffee table and got up from the couch and walked 

to her wife that stood in the door to the living room.

Yuri wrapped one arm around Tiffany's waist that had grown during her pregnancy and brought the 

other woman closer to her to kiss her. Tiffany kissed back and they parted when they needed to 

breathe.

"Shall we go?" Yuri asked and slided her hand into Tiffany's. Tiffany smiled and both of them walked to 

the door of the house.

They exited and walked to the black Audi R8 that was parked on the driveway. Beside the black car 

was a pink car in the same model. The cars were a wedding gift from Taeyeon and Jessica. The two 

friends had insisted that when Yuri and Tiffany were married the couple needed to have couple things, 

and they could start off by having couple cars.

The couple took a seat in the car and when Yuri was sure Tiffany had the seatbelt on she started the 

engine and drove off towards her parents-in-law's house. Throughout the ride Yuri glanced at Tiffany 

and noted that Tiffany was always keeping a hand on her belly. A rush of worry filled the tanned 

woman.

"You okay?" Yuri asked after she had glanced at Tiffany for the up nth time.

"Yes, I'm fine." Tiffany said and smiled. Yuri wasn't convinced and glanced one more time at Tiffany.

"You sure? You aren't in pain or anything?" Yuri asked.

"Yuri-ah, I'm fine. Keep your eyes on the road or we might get into a car accident and be in real pain 

afterwards." Tiffany said.

After the warning Yuri focused her eyes on the road.

The morning traffic made the drive take longer than it did in the evening and the couple arrived at the 

Hwang mansion after a thirty minutes’ drive. Yuri parked the car right outside of the big house and 

turned the engine off before she got out of the car to open the door for her wife.

Hand in hand the couple walked to the door, without ringing the bell Tiffany opened the door and went 

inside. She thought it was no big deal to just walk into her parents’ house, her parents already expected 

her to come anyway.

The pair walked to the living room where they usually found Mrs. Hwang but the older woman wasn't 

there. Yuri and Tiffany looked at each other before they went to the kitchen where they found one of the 

maids.

"Where's my mom?" Tiffany asked the maid that was busy wiping the kitc hen counter. The maid turned 

around and smiled at Tiffany.

"Hello." The maid said and bowed. "I think Mrs. Hwang is in her room. I haven't seen her all day." The 

maid said. Tiffany and Yuri glanced at each other. After all years Tiffany had been living with her mother 

she knew that her mother was an early bird and woke up early in the morning.

"I'll go and check on her." Tiffany said worry was heard clearly in her voice. Yuri let go of Tiffany's hand 

and watched Tiffany go to the stairs to head upstairs to her parents room. Yuri was left in the kitchen 

with the maid and both waited for Tiffany to return.

"Do you want some tea?" The maid asked and held up a cup.

"No, thank you. I'm fine." Yuri said with a smile. The maid nodded and returned to her chores  in the 

kitchen.

"Oh my God! Mom!" Tiffany's loud voice was heard from the second floor of the house. The maid and 

Yuri exchanged glances before both of the hurried upstairs. Yuri practically jumped up the stair to come 

to the second floor to see what was  wrong.

Yuri ran to the room she knew was her parents-in -law's room and saw Tiffany crouched on the floor 

beside her mother. Fear and worry was evident in the Hwang daughter's face and Yuri ran to her wife's 

side.

"Yuri... mom... she's..." Tiffany could barely talk.

"Call an ambulance." Yuri told the maid that just had arrived by the door. The maid nodded and ran to 

call an ambulance.

Yuri put her index and long finger over Mrs. Hwang's artery to feel if there was any pulse. She could 

feel a faint pulse and she turned to Tiffany that had begun shacking in fear.

"Don't worry, she's still alive." Yuri said and rubbed Tiffany's back. Tiffany nodded her head, her face 

had gone pale.

Suddenly Tiffany's worried face turned into a grimace of pain. Tiffany bent over with her arms wrapped 

around her belly. Yuri panicked and looked at Tiffany that suddenly seemed to be in much pain.

"Yuri-ah, the baby." Tiffany looked up at her wife's worried face. "My contractions has started." Yuri's 

eyes widened and her mouth gaped. This wasn't how she had imagined it to happen.

The maid returned in the door way, she was panting after running up and down the stairs.

"An ambulance is on the way and I called Dr. Park that will be waiting for us at the hospital." The maid 

informed.

"Call him again and tell him we'll have a child birth as well." Yuri said and turned to the maid. The maid 

shot Yuri and confused look and her gaze traveled from the tanned woman to the Hwang daughter. 

"Tiffany's contractions has begun." Yuri added.

A expression of shock appeared on the maids face and she looked around like she was trying to find 

something to do.

"Take care of Mrs. Hwang and I'll handle Tiffany." Yuri told the maid.

Yuri helped Tiffany to stand and led Tiffany to one of the chairs in the Hwang parents bedroom. Yuri 

was holding Tiffany's hand that had a tight grip on hers. Yuri had all her focus on Tiffany while Tiffany 

watched the maid was looking after Mrs. Hwang on the floor.

"Yuri-ah, my mom." Tiffany said and turned her head to her wife.

"Don't worry about her, she'll be fine." Yuri said and patted Tiffany's leg. 

"But she's-"

"Tiffany." Yuri stopped Tiffany from talking any further. "Don't worry about her. Focus on yourself, you're 

gonna deliver a baby soon. You need to worry about yourself and the baby, let the doctor take care of 

your mom." Yuri said gentle.

Tiffany nodded and turned to her mother that was still lying on the floor. Another contraction came and 

she jumped in pain and gritted her teeth. Yuri rubbed her back through out the whole contraction before 

Tiffany released her hard grip on Yuri.

"Yuri, I lied earlier today." Tiffany said afterwards. Yuri looked at her perplexed. "I was in pain when you 

asked me in the car. My first contractions begun at night, but they were so small that I was able to go 

back to sleep.Tiffany explained.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Yuri asked shocked.

"I knew you would worry and I didn't want to wake you up. And if I told you in the car I was afraid you 

would drive me to the hospital instead." Tiffany explained. Yuri relaxed and looked at her wife's brown 

orbs.

"Well, you told me now." Yuri said with a calmer voice. Tiffany smiled but her half -moon formed eyes 

widened after a second and she looked down at her legs.

"My water broke." Tiffany said and looked up at Yuri. Yuri looked up at her wife and they stared at each 

other for a minute before Yuri seemed to have come to her senses again.

"Tiffany's water just broke!" Yuri shouted at the maid that was by Mrs. Hwang's side.

"What?" The maid asked shocked. The maid looked down at the floor and noticed the pool of liquid 

under Tiffany's feet.

"Yuri, you need to call my dad. And Jessi and Taeyeon as well!" Tiffany said panicked. Yuri's eyes 

widened and she flipped her phone open and speed dialed once of the numbers on her speed dial. It 

didn't take long before the person on the other line answered.

"Hello, it's me. I won't be able to make it to work today because Tiffany's going to deliver the baby 

soon." Yuri said calmly to the person on the other line. "And your wife might need you. We found her 

unconscious in her room and an ambulance is on the way to pick her up." Yuri added.

Yuri was quiet while she listened to the person's reaction on the other line that was none other that Mr. 

Hwang. Tiffany looked at her wife while Yuri seemed to be calm to how Mr. Hwang reacted to the 

situation.

"He wants to speak to you if you can." Yuri said after a while and offered her phone to Tiffany. Tiffany 

took the phone and put it against her ear and  heard her father's voice on the other line.

"I'm fine dad, except for the constant contractions that comes now and then." Tiffany said. "I don't know. 

I found her lying on the floor in your room when I came here." Tiffany said and looked over to her 

mother.

"Yuri takes care of me. Don't worry." Tiffany said and smiled. "Okay, see you at the hospital." Tiffany 

said and ended the call just in time for another contraction.

Yuri took her phone from Tiffany's hand and proceed to rub Tiffany's back. She looked at Tiffany with a 

concerned expression until the contraction had stopped and Tiffany straighten up in her sitting position.

"Call Taeyeon and Jessi." Tiffany told Yuri and looked at Yuri's phone. Yuri speed dialed her best 

friends number and kept her eyes on Tiffany.

"Are you okay?" Yuri asked while she waited for Taeyeon to pick up.

"I'm fine. I'm stronger than I look." Tiffany said and stroked her hand over Yuri's cheek. Yuri frowned but 

the frown disappeared when she heard a voice on the other side o f the line.

"Taeng! Your godchild is on the way. Take Jessica with you and go to the hospital." Yuri said. She saw 

in the corner of her eyes how two paramedic were carefully placing Mrs. Hwang on a stretcher.

"Yes! I'm serious. Me and Tiffany are going to the hospital now." Yuri said and helped Tiffany to stand 

up. "I need to hang up now. See you at the hospital." Yuri ended the call and put her phone in her jeans 

pocket before she turned to her wife to help her.

Yuri led Tiffany carefully down the stairs and out of the house. They stopped beside the ambulance 

where a paramedic was standing.

"Child birth on the way." Yuri told the female paramedic. The paramedic's eyes widened when she 

looked at Yuri and she turned to the ambulance.

"Place her on the other stretcher and we'll take her to the hospital as well. Is she related to the older 

woman?" The paramedic asked and helped Yuri leading Tiffany into the ambulance.

"I'm the daughter." Tiffany said. The peramedic nodded in understanding.

The paramedic and Yuri went inside of the ambulance where another paramedic was already working 

on helping Mrs. Hwang. Tiffany's eyes watched as the paramedic was putting an oxygen mask over her 

mother's mouth.

The ride was tense and stressful. Yuri was giving all her support to Tiffany while the female paramedic 

was asking Tiffany questions. Tiffany answered the questions the best she could and Yuri filled in the 

parts Tiffany was unable to answer.

The ride felt like it took ages until it reached the hospital. When they arrived two teams of nurses was 

waiting together with Dr. Park. One group took Mrs. Hwang while the other took Tiffany, Yuri followed 

after her wife.

"Mr. Hwang will arrive later." Yuri informed Dr. Park. The doctor nodded his head.

"I'll have a nurse look out for his arrival. Is there anyone else that will come?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, two of our friends. And maybe my parents. I haven't called them." Yuri said when she suddenly 

remembered she had forgotten to call her parents.

"Give this nurse the contact information to your parents and she will call her for you, you go after Mrs. 

Kwon-Hwang." Dr. Park said.

Yuri nodded and the nurse that was going to call Yuri's parents followed Yuri when she was walking 

after the nurse group that had taken Tiffany to a room. Yuri gave the nurse both of her parents numbers 

and their names before she entered the room Tiffany was inside. Hours of painful screams, supporting 

words, sweats and tears was what Yuri was going to face.

---After six hours inside the room a little boy was born. It screams was heard in the room as one of the 

nurses wrapped it around a sheet. A exhausted Yuri and Tiffany watched the little boy that was carried 

their way. The nurse gave the small little life to Tiffany to hold and the newly m other broke out in a wide 

smile.

Yuri watched her wife and son with a proud smile on her face. Tiffany looked at Yuri with their son in 

her arms and they exchanged smiles before both of them turned to the little boy in Tiffany's arms.

Yuri let out a happy chuckle and stroked away Tiffany's damp bangs to kiss her wife on the forehead. 

Tiffany smiled when Yuri fixed her bangs again.

"Do you wanna hold him?" Tiffany asked and held up the little boy for Yuri to take. Yuri carefully took 

the boy and cradled t he little boy in her arms and took a seat on the chair beside Tiffany's bed. She 

looked down at the little boy that had stopped screaming.

"Hello, there." Yuri said to the small little life in her arms. "I'm your appa, this is your umma." Yuri said 

and showed the baby to Tiffany. Exhausted Tiffany smiled at the baby. "Welcome to our crazy little 

world." Yuri said and smiled at the baby.

Tiffany smiled by the sight of her wife holding their first children. Her whole body feel warm by the sweet 

moment of their new family member, she smiled brightly as Yuri handed the baby carefully back to 

Tiffany to hold.

The door to the room was slowly opened and Tiffany's father peeked his head inside. A smile was 

plastered on his face and he opened the door and pushed in a wheelchair Mrs. Hwang was seated on. 

Tiffany's parents was followed by Yuri's parents and Jessica and Taeyeon that entered the room.

Upon seeing her mother Tiffany's eyes widened and she got teary eyed.

"Mom, you're okay?" Tiffany asked the woman in  the wheelchair that was beside her bed. The woman 

smiled and patted her daughters head.

"Yes, honey. I'm perfectly fine. I just have to rest a few days." Mrs. Hwang answered and wiped the tear 

that had escaped her daughter's eye.

"But you were all unconscious when I found you." Tiffany said with a pout.

"Yes, I had fainted. But I'm fine now." Mrs. Hwang said. "You should think about yourself now, and this 

little thing." Mrs. Hwang said and smiled at the baby in Tiffany's arms. "A boy or girl?" Mrs. Hwang

asked.

Tiffany smiled wide. "You've gotten a grandson, mom." Tiffany said and handed the small little boy to 

her mother.

Mrs. Hwang smiled when she was holding her first grandchildren. Mr. Hwang leaned over Mrs. Hwang's 

shoulder and looked at the baby in his wife's arms. They both smiled at each other before showing 

Yuri's parents the baby.

Yuri's mother was given the baby to hold and she and her husband looked at the baby together and 

they smiled proudly at each other before they handed back the boy to  his mother. Tiffany and Yuri 

smiled at each other when they glanced at each other before turning to their little son.

"I'm going back to my room now, dear. I need to rest some. But we'll see each other around, probably. 

I'll definitively come by your room." Mrs. Hwang said. Tiffany nodded her head.

"Yeah, I'll probably come by your room as well." Tiffany said with a smile.

Mrs. Hwang patted Tiffany's head once more before she left with her husband pushing her wheelchair. 

Yuri's parents also left but not before they had congratulated their daughter and daughter-in -law. The 

Kwon parents left with proud smiles on their faces.

Now it was only the four friends left in the room. Taeyeon and Jessica had given the new parents time 

to be with their parents before they had said anything. Taeyeon and Jessica stood on the side of the 

bed where Tiffany's parents had been before they left.

"Congratulation Fany!" Jessica said happily. Taeyeon just smiled.

"Thank you." Tiffany said with an exhausted smile.

"How does it feel now when everything is over?" Jessica asked.

"Finally! I thought I would never be able to get him out!" Tiffany said. Jessica, Taeyeon and Yuri 

laughed at Tiffany's statement. "But I'm happy; now that he's born." Tiffany said and smiled at her son .

"Isn't it weird that it is a boy?" Taeyeon asked out of nowhere. Everyone in the room sent the woman 

that was sitting on a chair beside the hospital bed a questioning look.

"I mean, it was one man and two women that made the baby. It's a bigger chance  it would have 

become a girl." Taeyeon said and grinned. Everyone in the room just shook their head and Taeyeon 

earned a slap on the shoulder from Jessica for her weird statement.

"I just consider us lucky that it became a boy." Tiffany proudly stated. The  rest in the room could only 

nod in agreement.

They all watched in silence as Tiffany held the baby that now was sleeping soundly in Tiffany's arms. It 

was a very heart warming sight as they saw Tiffany and Yuri both looking down at their son. Taeyeon 

and Jessica also smiled happily at each other.

"Jessi, do you wanna hold him?" Tiffany asked and turned to her best friend that would be her son's 

godmother. Jessica surprised looked at the baby and Tiffany.

"Really?" Jessica asked. Tiffany only nodded her head.

Jessica moved closer to the bed the mother and son was resting on and stretched out her arms to grab 

the small little boy. Once her godson was in her arms she sat back down on the chair beside Taeyeon 

and looked at the small little baby.

"His hands are so small." Jessica said and let the small baby hold her index finger with it's hands. 

"Hello, little friend. I'm your aunt Jessica that will spoil you with everything, if it's something your parents 

don't want to buy for you just come to me." Jessica said and smiled at the boy in her arms.

"Yah, don't spoil my child." Tiffany scolded from the side when she heard what Jessica was promising 

her son the first hour of his life. Jessica just stuck out her tongue at Tiffany.

"No, I'll spoil him. I'll shower him with toys and money and everything." Jessica said and stood up to 

hand back the boy to his mother.

"Have you decided on a name yet?" Taeyeon asked. Yuri and Tiffany looked at each other.

"No, we haven't come that far yet." Yuri said with a grin. Taeyeon smiled at her best friend.

"You'll have time to think about it." Taeyeon said. Yuri and Tiffany nodded their heads.

A nurse entered the room and bowed to the people in the room.

"I'm sorry, but Mrs. Kwong-Hwang must rest now. You all will have to go, you can come back tomorrow 

if you want to visit." The nurse said with a gentle and polite tone. Everyone in the room nodded in 

understanding.

"We'll be back tomorrow, Fany." Jessica said and patted her friend's head. "Rest well." Jessica said and 

walked to the side.

"Bye, Fany. Congratulation to your son." Taeyeon said and smiled at her friend. Tiffany smiled back at 

the girl.

"Bye, Yuri." Jessica and Taeyeon said to the tanned girl and hugged her goodbye. They smiled at their 

friends before they left the room to let the exhausted parents rest after a long day.

"I'll need to take him to put him in another bed." The nurse said and reached out her arms towards the 

baby boy. Tiffany gave her son to the nurse to put in the small bed for babies. Once the  baby was 

inside the bed the nurse left the hospital room leaving the small Kwon-Hwang family for themselves.

"God, I'm tired." Tiffany let out a sigh and leaned her head against the piles of pillows behind her. Yuri 

leaned her head against Tiffany's shoulders and held Tiffany's hand and interlocked their fingers.

"Me too. Who would have thought child birth was so exhausting by just standing by the side?" Yuri said 

tiredly. "I wouldn't even imagine how tired you must feel now." Yuri said and turned towards  Tiffany that 

had her eyes on the baby in the bed that stood next to hers.

"I'm very tired. But I think my happiness makes up for it." She said with a smile and turned to her wife. 

Yuri also managed to crack a smile even though her tired state. Yuri gave Tiffany a kiss on the cheek 

before she placed her head on Tiffany's shoulder again and closed her eyes.

Tiffany leaned her head against Yuri's and closed her eyes as well. She felt the need to sleep after her 

long day of worrying about her mother and giving birth to her son. She never thought her day would go 

like this.

With a smile on her face the new mother drift off to sleep with her head leaned against her wife's that 

joined her in their much needed sleep.

YulTi part 3

Tiffany looked up from the bag she just had finished packing when the door to the hospital room 

opened and her wife with their son came in. Yuri and Tiffany smiled at each other and Yuri went 

over to Tiffany to give her their baby boy.

Tiffany took the baby from Yuri and stood up with him in her arm while Yuri grabbed the bag on 

the hospital bed and with wide smiles the small family left the hospital room. They greeted some 

of the nurses on their way out before they got stopped by Dr. Park.

"Mrs. Kwon-Hwang!" The older man called Tiffany. Yuri and Tiffany turned to face the man that 

stopped in front of them.

"I see they've discharged you already." The man in the white robe said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm a strong and healthy woman so they didn't need to keep me here. The same g oes for 

my son." Tiffany said with a smile and held up the baby that was sleeping in her arms. The doctor 

smiled and the son and mother.

"Congratulations to your son. I hope he will grow healthy and strong as well." Dr. Park said.

"Did you want to talk to us about something?" Tiffany asked.

"No, nothing in particular. I just wanted to see how you're doing and it seems like you're doing just 

fine, and I also wanted you to greet your parents from me." Dr. Park said with a smile.

"I'll do that. It was nice seeing you Dr. Park." Tiffany said with a smile.

"The pleasure is mine. Take care." Dr. Park patted Tiffany's shoulder before he went off, probably 

to check on some other patient.

The small family continued to the exit of the hospital and went out. It was a nice autumn 

afternoon, the sun was shining and the weather was nice. Yuri was showing where she had 

parked her car and the small family got into the car and drove off.

The drive didn't take long. Yuri and Tiffany had promised they would stop by Tiffany's parents’ 

house before they went home and the small family was now getting out of the car that had parked 

in front of the Hwang mansion. The two parents together with their son went to the door of the big 

house and didn't even need to ring the bell as the maid opened the door for them. She greeted 

them and the two women greeted back.

"My daughters!" Mr. Hwang that already stood in the hall to greet his daughter and daughter -in -law welcomed them with wide arms. Tiffany and Yuri chuckled by Mr.Hwang's  greeting and went 

to give him a hug. He enveloped both women in a bear hug but was extra careful with his 

daughter that had delivered a baby.

"And how's my grandson?" Mr. Hwang asked and bent down to take a look at the boy in Tiffany's 

arms.

"He’s doing fine, dad. Just tired, like his mom." Tiffany said with a smile.

"I see, come in then." Mr. Hwang said and led the two women to the living room. Upon seeing the 

two women already seated in there Tiffany's smile widened and she went to the first woman in 

the room and hugged her.

"I'm glad to see you're fine mom." Tiffany said and hugged her mother that had been discharged 

from the hospital before her. The older woman just chuckled and gave Yuri a hug once her 

daughter had released her.

"I told you it wasn't serious, Tiffany." Her mother said.

"Let me see my nephew now! I can't believe I missed the day he was born." The other woman in 

the room said and went up to Tiffany's side to take a look at the boy. She smiled wide and looked 

at Tiffany and gave the girl a pat on the back.

"Do you wanna hold him, unnie?" Tiffany asked and held the boy for Ida to hold. Ida carefully took 

the boy from Tiffany and held him in his arms. Both Tiffany and Yuri smiled as they saw the older 

woman hold their son.

A flash made the three women turn their heads to Mr. Hwang that was holding a camera in his 

hands. He smiled at the women and his wife as he looked at the photo on his digital camera. He 

nodded satisfied by the photo and brought up the camera to take another photo.

"No pictures, dad! I just got discharged from the hospital." Tiffany whined and hid behind Ida and 

Yuri. The old man just chuckled and took another picture anyway.

"But this is a moment to remember. My youngest daughter with her first born baby. It's lovel y." He 

said.

"But I look awful." Tiffany said and peeked over Ida's shoulder. The old man held up the camera 

again and took a picture of his two daughters. He chuckled by the picture and looked towards a 

smiling Ida and a pouting Tiffany.

"It's not like the pictures will get into the newspaper, Tiffany. It's just for the family." Mr. Hwang 

said. Tiffany ignored her father as Ida was handing back her son to her.

Everyone took a seat on the couches. Tiffany and Yuri took a seat beside Ida while the Hwang 

parents took a seat beside each other. With proud smiles they watched their daughter with her 

wife taking care of their son.

"Have you decided on any names?" Mrs. Hwang asked. Tiffany and Yuri looked at each other 

and Tiffany smiled shyly as she cradled her son.

"Yeah, his name is Jason Kwon-Hwang Kyungkyu." Tiffany said with a smile. Tiffany's parents’

eyes widened as they were impressed by the name. They nodded satisfied by the name.

"So you gave him an American and Korean name?" Ida said. Tiffany nodded her head.

"Yeah, I thought it was for the best. Then he can decide if he wants to be called Jason or 

Kyungkyu." Tiffany said with a smile.

"But what will you call him by?" Mr. Hwang asked. Tiffany and Yuri looked at each other again 

and smiled.

"Because we're in Korea we will call him Kyungkyu." Yuri replied. The Hwang parents nodded, 

thinking it was a good idea.

The Hwang family continued talking about the baby, the Hwang parents making sure what Yuri 

and Tiffany had planned for the little boy's future. Some of the things the parents asked about 

was things Yuri and Tiffany thought it was too far into the future to be planned so far ahead. Ida 

was also very curious about her nephew and also very excited for the days she would be able to 

take care of him.

"Ida when will you start thinking about getting kids?" Mrs. Hwang asked.

"Mom, please not know. You know we've talked about this." Ida protested. Tiffany looked back 

and forth between her sister and mother, she feared an argument would start.

"I'm just wondering." Mrs. Hwang said and shrugged her shoulders and casually taking a sip from 

her tea that had gotten served earlier. Tiffany and Yuri exchanged glances, thinking that it might 

be better to escape this before the argument had started.

"Yeah, but I've told you I'm busy with my career and I don't have time to get kids." Ida said.

"Mom, I'm starting to feel really tired. I think it's better if I go home to rest." Tiffany said and was 

about to stand up.

"Why don't you stay here for the night?" Mr. Hwang suggested. Tiffany sat back down on the 

couch and looked to her wife like Yuri would have some kind of answer.

"I wanna go home to rest. I've been in the hospital and I wanna go home. Besides I think it's 

better we get Kyungkyu to his home." Tiffany said and stood up. She hugged Ida goodbye and 

her parents. Yuri did the same and the two women was followed to the door by the Hwang 

parents and Ida. The three people that was staying was bidding goodbye to the sleeping boy Yuri 

was carrying.

Once they had bid goodbye Yuri and Tiffany left the Hwang mansion and got into the car and Yuri 

drove off towards their home. Tiffany feeling relief as she finally was on her way home where she 

could relax. She turned towards her wife in the driver seat that had her eyes focused on the road, 

suddenly remembering something Tiffany groaned which made Yuri take a glance at her before 

turning back to the road.

"Is something wrong?" Yuri asked concerned.

"No, I just remembered we need to visit your parents." Tiffany s aid. Yuri furrowed her eyebrows.

"But that's tomorrow." Yuri said.

"I know, but I don't feel like going out at all tomorrow. I just wanna be at home with you and 

Kyungkyu." Tiffany said.

Silence filled the car. Tiffany took a small glance at her wife that seemed to concentrate at 

driving. A slight fear that she might have hurt Yuri when she had showed she didn't feel like 

visiting Yuri's parents started to grow inside her.

"It's not that I don't wanna visit your parents, Yuri. I've been away from home a nd I just wanna get 

settled with Kyungkyu before we start going around and visiting people." Tiffany explained.

Yuri turned her head towards Tiffany and gave her wife a reassuring smile before she turned her 

head towards the road again. She took one hand off the steering wheel to pat Tiffany's leg before 

she brought it back to the steering wheel again.

"Don't worry, if it's not too much of a problem I can ask them if they can come to our house 

instead." Yuri suggested. Tiffany smiled and turned to her  wife.

"That's a great idea. It's better than going around to a lot of places." Tiffany said. Yuri returned 

her wife's smile and focused her eyes on the road again the rest of the ride back to their house.  

---Tiffany smiled as she saw her parents-in -law holding her son. He was currently sleeping in his 

grandmother's arms as she and the grandfather was looking at him, admiring his cute little hands 

and his dark hair they were so sure would be the same color as Yuri's.

Tiffany turned to her wife that entered the living room with a tray with tea and cookies for her 

parents and her wife. When Yuri had placed the tray on the coffee table and taken a seat beside 

her wife Tiffany smiled at her and Yuri returned her smile and they both continued to watch Yuri's 

parents as they cuddled with their son.

"If you ever need a baby sitter you know you can call me, right?" Yuri's mother said. Tiffany and 

Yuri smiled at the older woman and Yuri proceed to pour up tea for her parents.

"I know, mom. But I think you have c ompetition for that, a lot of people have offered themselves 

to be baby sitters." Yuri said and gave a cup of tea to her father. Her mother made a shocked 

expression and handed the sleeping boy to Tiffany before she took the tea cup she was given 

from her daughter.

"Oh, a lot of people you say?" Mrs. Kwon said and sipped her tea.

"Yeah, we have Tiffany's parents, and Tiffany's sister offered to take care of him as well, and 

Taeyeon and Jessica that's going to be his godparents also offered themselves to babysit him." 

Yuri said and watched as Tiffany went to the baby's bed to place the sleeping boy there.

"I'm sure your sister also wants to take care of him when she got time." Mrs. Kwon said.

"Yeah, then we have unnie as well." Yuri said and followed Tiff any with her eyes as her wife 

returned to the couch and took a seat beside her again. Tiffany smiled at her and she returned 

the smile and placed an arm around Tiffany's waist.

The two newly parents continued the afternoon by talking to Yuri's parents about the things they 

had talked about with Tiffany's parents the day before. Their parents seemed more curious about 

the boy's future than they were. Something their parents didn't seem to like the idea of was that 

Tiffany was going to put him in a kindergarten when he is old enough. Tiffany thought it's good 

that he learn to get a long with people from a young age and going to kindergarten is a great 

experience, but the parents thought that they had maids to take care of the boy if it was needed.

Yuri was of course on her wife's side. She thought it would be good if their son got to go to 

kindergarten. Both she and Tiffany didn't had that chance as both of them had maids that took 

care of them at home when they were small. Also Tiffany spent her first years  of school getting 

home schooled, and that was something she wouldn't put her son through. She would put him in 

a school where he could get friends and also join all the school activities.

Yuri's parents were wondering if they had thought about to send him away to study abroad for a 

few years. The truth was that Tiffany and Yuri had thought about it but they thought that when the 

time for that had come they would let their son decide what he wants to do. If he wants to study 

abroad for a few years they would help him to do it and if he wanted to stay in Korea they 

wouldn't force him away. They have seen with their own eyes what can happen if you force kids 

to study abroad.

"It seems like you're letting him choose everything on his own." Mr. Kwon said after  they had 

listened to everything Tiffany and Yuri had said about their son's future.

"In his later years we will do that. We will just show him what he can choose from and let him 

decide from that. It's his future, not ours. We will just be his support." Tiffany said and took a sip 

from her tea. Mrs. Kwon smiled at Tiffany's wise words.

"I guess it's true that you get wiser when you become a mother." Mrs. Kwon said. Tiffany stared 

at the older woman and began to blush as she got shy by the compliment from her mother-in -law.

They continued to chat about business related things now when Yuri's parents had gotten a view 

how their grandson's future would look like. Mr. Kwon was curious how Tiffany and Jessica's 

company was going and when she would start working again. Tiffany had said she would start 

working the next week, but from home. She couldn't let her partner do all the job.

"I heard Jessica's mother had started a company as well." Mrs. Kwon said. Yuri and Tiffany 

looked at each other before they turned to the older couple.

"Ah, you mean the law firm?" Tiffany asked.

"Ah, yes. Do you know anything about that?" Mrs. Kwon asked.

"No, you'll have to ask Jessica as she should know more about it." Tiffany said and lifted up the 

tea cup to drink from it.

"I think Taeyeon also knows about it." Yuri said.

Tiffany turned her head towards Yuri and like they had a telepathic conversation Tiffany nodded 

knowingly and agreeing with her wife.

"Yeah, Taeyeon should also know about it." She said and smiled.

The time fly by as the four adults talked and soon it was time for Yuri's parents to leave. They had 

to go to another city to go on a dinner at a friends house. Yuri and Tiffany bid the parents good 

bye and promised to call if they needed help with the baby. And soon the small family was alone 

in their home.

When Yuri and Tiffany had sent Yuri's parents off Yuri wrapped her arms around Tiffany and 

leaned her head on the shorter woman's shoulder and let out a tired sigh. Tiffany wrapped her 

arms around Yuri as well and they stood in the hall and continued to hug each other.

"Taeng and Sica are coming over with dinner later." Yuri mumbled into Tiffany's hair.

"You don't want them to come over?" Tiffany asked and rubbed her wife's back.

"Of course I want. I'm j ust so relieved our friends are nothing like our parents and they're also are 

bringing food so I don't have to cook."

Tiffany giggled by her wife's explanation and they broke the embrace to walk to the living room. 

Tiffany began clearing the coffee table while Yuri took a seat on the couch and watched her son 

sleep in the crib. She smiled as she watched the boy peacefully sleep. Later on Tiffany joined her 

on the couch and both of them continued to watch the sleeping boy as they cuddled with each 

other.

---"Yuri-ah, Jessi and Taeyeon are here." Tiffany shouted as she heard a car stop outside their 

house.

Yuri came out from the kitchen and went to the window to see if it really was the two people 

Tiffany had said. Seeing that her wife was right Yuri smiled and went to the door to open it for 

their two friends. Tiffany had just finished feeding Kyungkyu and went to place him in his bed. 

She heard Yuri talking with two other people that just had entered their house and she smiled as 

she recognized the two voices well.

When Kyungkyu was in his bed Tiffany made her way to the hall where she saw her two friends. 

She smiled at both of them and embraced them in a welcoming hug. Yuri showed Taeyeon to the 

kitchen as they would place the food they had brought on plates while Tiffany and Jessica went to 

the living room. The best friends took a seat on the couches and made themselves comfortable 

there while Yuri and Taeyeon took care of the food.

"How are you feeling?" Jessica asked when she and Tiffany had settle d down.

"Can you believe that you're actually the first one to ask that? My parents and Yuri's parents only 

asked about Kyungkyu." Tiffany said and chuckled. Jessica smiled at her friend.

"You're just as important as he is. So why shouldn't I ask?" Jessica said. The two friends laughed 

together.

"But I'm fine. I'm just tired by the constant questions about Kyungkyu." Tiffany said and sighed. 

Jessica nodded knowingly.

"How much do they actually think you've planned for his future. He is a week old and it  sounds 

like your parents expect you to have decided on a college for him already." Jessica said and 

glanced towards the boy.

"Yeah, but you do know there actually is people that decide that even before the kid is born." 

Tiffany said and looked towards her son like Jessica did.

"Yeah, but you aren't one of those crazy people. I think you're too busy to plan that." Jessica said 

and smiled.

"Yes, and no. I actually think my son should decide that on his own when the time comes." Tiffany 

said. Jessica nodded her head in agreement.

"Ladies, here is the food." Taeyeon announced as she and Yuri entered the living room carrying 

two plates each. They placed the plates on the coffee table and took a seat on the couches 

beside Tiffany and Jessica.

"Oh, where did you buy this?" Tiffany asked after she had tasted the meat on her plate.

"It's from the restaurant close to where we live." Taeyeon said after she had swallowed the food 

in her mouth.

"It was really delicious." Tiffany said and took another bite of her food.

"Me and Taeyeon always go to eat there if we don't feel like cooking." Jessica said and smiled. 

She turned towards Taeyeon that sat beside her and they exchanged smiles before they went 

back to eat their food.

The four friends continued to eat the dinner and chat with each other. This was actually a rare 

moment for them as one of them always were busy and couldn't meet up with the others, so 

sitting together and eat like this all four of them was a blessing and they enjoyed the moment to 

the fullest as they tried to catch up with each other's lives. They only got interrupted when 

Kyungkyu woke up and either Tiffany or Yuri had to go and attend him. Taeyeon and Jessica just 

looked on with knowingly expressions. They knew their two friends would be  busy with their son 

from now on and they would do everything they could to support them.

TaengSic part 1

Jessica stood up from the chair that was in front of the mirror. She checked her appearance one 

last time before she turned around to see  if the other person in the room also was ready. Her 

eyes however landed on the empty bed she was sure she had seen Taeyeon standing by a few 

minutes ago.

"Taengoo-ah!" Jessica shouted and walked around the room.

"In the bathroom, Sica!" Jessica heard Taeyeon's voice say. With a smile she walked towards the 

bathroom where she found the bathroom door slightly open. She carefully opened it and saw her 

girlfriend standing in front of the bathroom mirror and fixing her now short, blonde hair.

"You ready?" Jessica asked and walked to stand beside Taeyeon to see how she looked in the 

mirror.

"Yes." Taeyeon said and turned to Jessica with a wide grin. Jessica fixed a strand of hair she 

thought was misplaced on her girlfriend's head before she nodded satisfie d and grabbed 

Taeyeon's hand and they both left the bathroom together.

Jessica took the set of keys on the counter before they went to the hall where they put on their 

shoes and headed out their apartment. Jessica closed and locked the door after them bef ore they 

went to the elevator and pressed the elevator button.

"You nervous?" Jessica asked and squeezed the hand she was holding.

"No, should I be? It's not the first time I meet your parents." Taeyeon said cheekily.

"Just making sure." Jessica said and they both entered the elevator.

They went down to the underground parking lot that were located under the apartment complex 

they were living at. They walked to the white BMW that stood there, Jessica had hooked 

Taeyeon's arm in the elevator and was leading the girl to her car.

"Let me drive." Jessica said and held up her set of keys. Taeyeon just chuckled and went to the 

passenger seat when Jessica had let go of her arm. The couple took a seat in the car, and when 

they had been secured with the seatbelt Jessica started the car and drove off towards her parents 

house.

When they arrived at the Jung mansion the two girls greeted Jessica's parents that stood in the 

hall and waited for them. When they walked to the dinning room they saw Krystal already seat ed 

by the dining table. Jessica and Taeyeon walked to the younger girl and greeted her as well 

before they took a seat at the table. The Jung parents also came and took a seat by the large 

table that probably could fit Tiffany's and Yuri's families as well if they were to come over.

"It's good that both of you finally have the time to come over together. It's always one of you that's 

away on something." Mr. Jung said. Jessica and Taeyeon looked at each other and smiled before 

they turned to Jessica's father again.

"Yeah, it's just been a lot to do." Taeyeon said. Mr. Jung nodded knowingly and glanced at his 

wife that sat beside him.

"I'm sure she doesn't let you off easy, huh?" Mr. Jung said and nodded towards his wife. The 

statement made him earn a slap on his shoulder and the younger people around the table 

chuckled.

"No, she's easy on me, as long as I do my work." Taeyeon said and smiled at Jessica's mother. 

The mother of her girlfriend smiled back at her.

"Yeah, and you always do your work, in a very good way." Jessica's mother praised. Taeyeon 

and Jessica exchanged glances, Jessica smiled proudly at Taeyeon and squeezed the woman's 

hand that was on top of the table.

Through the door to the dinning room a maid and a butler came. The butler was carrying two 

plates in his hands while he balanced a third on his left arm, the maid was carrying two plates. On 

the plates was a salad that had been neatly placed. The butler and maid made sure there was 

one plate in front of every person around the table. When everyone had gotten a plate each they 

began eating without further adieu.

The five people around the table ate happily while conversing with each other. Mr. Jung curious 

to how Taeyeon's job was going as he only had heard Jessica and his wife talking abo ut it. 

Taeyeon was busy telling him that the most of the things Jessica and Mrs. Jung had told him was 

actually the only things that had been going on with her work.

When they had finished their starter the maid and butler returned with the main dish. The main 

dish consisted of a steak with fried potatoes and vegetables. The people happily began eating, 

the only thing that stopped them from talking was when they had food in their mouths. Table 

manners was something Jessica and Krystal had been taught since they were small, and since 

Taeyeon and Jessica had started dating with Jessica's parents acceptance Taeyeon had also 

been given a small lesson about table manners.

"So when will you two get married?" Mr. Jung suddenly asked. Taeyeon choked on her food and 

began coughing, Krystal began patting the older woman's back while Jessica sent her father a 

disapproving glare.

"Dad please let's not talk about that." Jessica begged and handed Taeyeon a glass of water. 

Jessica took over the job of patting Taeyeon's back while Krystal looked worriedly at the older 

woman beside her.

"But I'm just wondering. I thought you two would get married right after High School, or when 

Taeyeon had finished her studies." Mr. Jung said and sipped his wine. Taeyeon that now had 

calmed down glanced at Jessica which glanced back at her. The couple averted their gazes from 

each other to the opposite direction.

"Can we change the subject?" Krystal asked when she noticed how awkward it was starting to get 

between the two older women beside her.

"So Taeyeon, when will you put a ring on my daughter's finger?" Mr. Jung ignored his youngest 

daughter. Krystal sighed and slumped further down in her seat. Taeyeon slowly looked up at the 

elderly man in front of her, she glanced at Jessica that was poking her food with her fork. 

Taeyeon looked up at Mr. Jung again and tried to fake a smile.

"I haven't really thought about it. I think we're happy as we are." Taeyeon spoke truthfully. With 

his eyebrows slightly raised Mr. Jung nodded his head.

"Considering how badly you two wanted to be together I thought you'd put a ring on her finger the 

first thing you did when I had accepted your relationship." Mr. Jung said with a smile. Taeyeon 

awkwardly smiled and glanced at Jessica again that was still was poking her food.

"I don't-"

"I think you should get married. It's time, no, it's been time for a long time. What do you say 

Taeyeon?" Mr. Jung said still with a smile plastered on his lips.

"Oh, gosh dad, why are you only pressuring her? Why not pressuring me? I can also put a ring on 

her finger you know, we're two people in this relationship." Jessica finally spoke up. She was 

starting to get annoyed by her father. Mr. Jung looked shocked at Jessica.

"But I thought-" Mr. Jung pointed at Taeyeon.

"No, she doesn't have the manly role in our relationship dad, even though it might have seemed 

like it. We're actually switching roles, we are more dominant in the areas we're more confident in, 

that's why this relationship works out so well." Jessica explaine d with a slightly annoyance in her 

voice. Mr. and Mrs. Jung exchanged surprised glances.

"So if you don't mind I think we should change subject, because it's not only me and Taeyeon that 

don't like this conversation, Krystal seems very uncomfortable about it too." Jessica said and 

pointed at the younger woman that sat on Taeyeon's left side. Krystal looked surprised up when 

she heard her name, the truth was she was uncomfortable with the conversation, and how 

Jessica had noticed it surprised her.

The subject wasn't brought up anymore, and the awkwardness that had appeared was still 

lingering between Taeyeon and Jessica throughout the dinner. Mr. Jung had switched his 

attention to Krystal instead and had began asking her to tell a bit about her life now when her 

sister and sister's girlfriend finally was there together. Slightly annoyed that she had to talk about 

things her sister probably already knew Krystal told them with a bored tone about her life for the 

last passed weeks. The only one that seemed genuinely interested in what Krystal was saying 

was Taeyeon, Krystal's parents was obviously faking their interest and Jessica didn't bother to 

fake at all. She knew everything Krystal was telling anyway.

The dinner was coming to an end when all of them had finished their desserts. Jessica and 

Taeyeon started to bid goodbye to Jessica's parents and Krystal before they had left the house to 

go home. The couple was however silent the whole way home, the awkwardness that had arisen 

between them during the dinner was still there.

---Jessica huffed a sigh and stared up at the ceiling above her and Taeyeon's bed. The 

awkwardness that had erupted between her and Taeyeon had been so obvious, and that it even 

had followed them home was making Jessica slightly frustrated. Awkwardness wasn't something 

Jessica was used to in their relationship.

The light that streamed out from under the bathroom door was turned off and the door opened. 

Jessica continued to lie still on the bed while she felt the side of the bed dip down when Taeyeon 

lied down. Jessica waited for the usually hug and kiss they shared before they went to sleep, but 

it never come.

"Taengoo-ah." Jessica looked over at the woman beside her. Taeyeon had her back facing her, 

which was also kind of unusual for her. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows and moved closer to 

Taeyeon.

"Taeyeon." Jessica whispered into Taeyeon's ear. Taeyeon slightly moved but didn't turn around. 

When confirming Taeyeon was alive and moving Jessica put one of her arms around Taeyeon's 

waist and placed her chin on Taeyeon's shoulder.

"What's bothering you?" Jessica asked.

"Nothing." Taeyeon reply came short. Which was also unusual. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows 

again and glanced at Taeyeon's face in the dark. She could see Taeyeon's eyes were closed.

"Are you...tired?" Jessica asked carefully.

"Yes."

The answer made Jessica lie down on her side of the bed. She stared at the back of her girlfriend 

through the dark. For some reason she felt rejected, she felt rejected even though she hadn't 

intended anything. Jessica's eyebrows furrowed again and she continued to  bore her eyes 

through Taeyeon's back, like it would make the other woman turn around. Minutes passed and 

Taeyeon didn't seem to get the hint. Jessica sighed and turned around with her back now facing 

Taeyeon.

When she finally had accepted Taeyeon was tired and she would get no cuddling tonight Jessica 

heard Taeyeon turn around. She lied still and waited for Taeyeon to do something, when nothing 

happened Jessica glanced over her shoulder at the other woman. Taeyeon was lying on her side 

of the bed with her eyes closed. Jessica's face showed disappointment.

Jessica turned around again to face the woman, Taeyeon didn't move nor open her eyes. Jessica 

confirmed Taeyeon wasn't sleeping, because if Taeyeon was sleeping, Jessica would know, after 

all the years of sleeping together Jessica knew Taeyeon's sleeping habits inside and out. 

Carefully moved Jessica one of her hands towards Taeyeon's that was lying on the pillow, she 

interlocked their fingers and held the hand.

"I can't sleep." Jessica confessed.

"Me either." Taeyeon said. That Taeyeon actually talked made Jessica smile. She moved closer 

to the girl, so close she could feel Taeyeon's breath slightly brush against her face.

"Is something keeping you awake?" Jessica whispered through the dark. She had s tarted to 

make circles with her thumb on the spot between Taeyeon's thumb and index finger.

"The lack of contact." Taeyeon said. Jessica raised her eyebrows and looked questioning at 

Taeyeon even though the woman wouldn't see her expression when her eyes were closed. "The 

lack of contact with you." Taeyeon said like she actually had seen Jessica's expression. Jessica 

opened her mouth to say something but Taeyeon had acted faster. The first minute they had 

been lying beside each other while holding hands and the next second Jessica was brought close 

to Taeyeon's body and felt her head rest on Taeyeon's shoulder.

"Much better." Taeyeon said satisfied. Jessica smiled and nuzzled closer to her girlfriend while 

she wrapped one arm around Taeyeon's body. And in that position Jessica finally felt her eyelids 

get heavy and she could let sleep succumb her.

---Feeling bored Jessica stretched her arms above her head and let out a sigh. She was alone in 

the office today because it was Tiffany's day off, Tiffany was  at home spending time with her son. 

These days Jessica felt extremely bored in the office without her friend, and that the conversation 

from the family dinner she had yesterday kept repeating in her mind didn't help her at all.

She placed her head on the desk and stared blankly at the computer screen. Her eyes felt tired 

after having staring at it for hours already. She closed her eyes thinking she would rest them for 

awhile but the sound of the office door opening caught her attention instead.

The door stood open ajar for a few seconds without someone entering. Soon a small little boy 

come wobbling into the office. Jessica's face brighten up upon seeing the boy and she smiled 

wide and felt all energized.

"Kyungkyu!" Jessica happily said and stood up from her seat to greet her godson. The boy that 

saw Jessica happily walked to Jessica.

"Aunt Jeshka!" The boy said and reached up his arms wanting to get picked up by the woman. 

Jessica picked up the boy and hugged him.

"Hello my big little boy. Are you here alone? What is your mommy doing?" Jessica asked and 

broke the embrace but kept the now three years old boy in her arms.

"Mommy buying coffee." Kyungkyu said and put his thumb in his mouth. A habit he had these 

days.

"Buying coffee? I see, should we wait for mommy here then?" Jessica said and walked to her 

desk with Kyungkyu still in her arms. The little boy nodded his head.

Jessica took a seat in front of her desk and put the little boy in her lap. She closed all the tabs on 

her computer and opened a tab with games instead, something she knew the little boy would like. 

She had let Taeyeon installed games on her computer here just in case Kyungkyu would come by 

and Jessica needed to have something to distract the boy with.

The boy quickly got immersed in the game and started playing. Jessica let him sit on her lap as 

she opened a drawer where she knew she had put sweets in, she took out a package of gummy 

bears and opened the package and took out one bear and offered it to the boy. The boy opened 

his mouth not tearing his eyes away from the screen, Jessica happily fed the boy the gummy bear 

and ate one herself as well. 

"Yah, are you trying to give my son a sugar rush? He just woke up from his afternoon nap, he’s 

gonna be so hyper later on." A voice was heard. Jessica looked away from the boy and at the 

woman that just had entered the office. A smile appeared on her face and she took another 

gummy bear and ate it.

"That won't be my problem." Jessica said and grinned.

Tiffany sighed and placed her bag on her desk and took a seat on the chair behind the desk. She 

looked towards her best friend and son that was sitting across her on the other side of the room, 

her best friend was looking at her as well.

"Was is boring at home?" Jessica asked and gave a gumm y bear to Kyungkyu that still played the 

game and acted like his mother hadn't entered the office.

"No, I just wanted to come by to see how you were doing. Boram told me you're always so bored 

when I'm not here." The eye-smiling mother replied. Jessica chuckled.

"Our secretary can't keep secrets, huh?" Jessica said and ate another gummy bear.

"She just tells me what I need to know." Tiffany said and propped her chin on her hands. "Don't 

give him too much candy, he will be running around the house later on." Tiffany said and 

furrowed her eyebrows.

"Make Yuri play soccer with him." Jessica suggested.

"Yuri will be home late." Tiffany said and closed her eyes. "She'll be in meetings all day."

"You play soccer with him." Jessica said and opened her mouth  to eat another sweet bear. 

Tiffany sighed.

"I always get tired before him." Tiffany said and leaned back in her chair. Jessica chuckled.

"You're getting old."

"Look at yourself before you speak." Tiffany said and grinned. "Anyway, I heard from Heechul -oppa that talked to Sulli that heard from Krystal that you had a family dinner yesterday. How did it 

go? Did your dad talk about the business as usual?" Tiffany asked.

Jessica almost choked on her saliva when she heard her friend mention the family dinner.  She 

avoided Tiffany's questioning look when she had beginning coughing awkwardly.

"Are you sick?" Kyungkyu that was still sitting on Jessica's lap asked the woman that had begun 

coughing.

"No, aunt Jessica just needs some water." Jessica said and lifted  up the boy from her lap and 

placed him back in her seat to let him continue playing his game. She grabbed the water bottle 

that stood on her desk and drank a few gulps before putting the lid back on. Tiffany was still 

eyeing her with a questioning look.

"What happened at the dinner yesterday?" Tiffany asked when Jessica now took a seat in front of 

her desk instead. Jessica let out a sigh and cupped the water bottle with both of her hands.

"My dad wants me and Taeyeon to get married." Jessica said with a  sigh. Interested Tiffany 

leaned over her desk, wanting to hear more what Jessica had to say about her father suddenly 

wanting her to get married.

"He says it's time. Me and Taeyeon have been together for years and we're not even engaged." 

Jessica ended with a sigh. "It's just, we never really talked about getting married, you know, we're 

happy the way we are now, and we practically live like a married couple so I don't understand 

why he wants this so badly all of sudden."

Tiffany nodded. "Maybe he thinks it's time to hand you over to Taeyeon." Tiffany said and leaned 

back in her chair.

"He's already done that." Jessica said and raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I know. But I mean for real. You know, weddings means a lot to parents, I understood that 

after I got married to Yuri. They really want to see their daughter wear that white dress, walk 

down the aisle and make vow with the love of their life. It's important to them. And not to mention 

the preparations for the wedding, your mom would think it's fun."

Jessica let out a sigh and leaned back in her chair. "Krystal can get married, she's with someone 

too." Jessica said with a pout. Tiffany chuckled.

"Yeah, but you know Krystal's relationship isn't as stable as yours. It would be more likely that 

you and Taeyeon get married than Krystal and whoever she's dating now." Tiffany pointed out.

"She's back with Sulli."

"Oh, I find it funny how she always seem to go back to her. When will she stay in Sulli's arms and 

not wander to someone else?" Tiffany asked.

Jessica sighed and propped her elbows on top of the desk. "When she stops thinking it's exciting 

to go around with other people all the time." Jessica said.

"Your sister is complicated."

"Tell me something I don't know."

The two best friends sat in silence. The only sound coming from the computer Kyonkgyu was 

playing his game on.Jessica let out another sigh and slumped further down in her seat. The 

marriage thing was bugging her. Tiffany looked at her, she leaned back in her chair and 

supported her arms on the armrests.

"To be honest, I think it's strange that you aren't married yet." Tiffany said honestly. Jessica's 

eyes widened and looked at her best friend.

"Not you too, Tiff." Jessica begged.

"But Jessi, it is strange. You've been together for over  ten years, it's impressing that you've 

avoided talking about marriage for that long. And you even live together!" Tiffany exclaimed.

Jessica groaned and tilted her head back and stared up at the white ceiling. Tiffany looked at the 

woman opposite her with a sympathetic look. Jessica obviously didn't like this conversation, but 

now when Jessica's father already had brought it up Tiffany thought it could be good to get her 

thoughts out about Jessica's relationship.

"You've dated for so long, and you've went through so much to be able to be together. You even 

travelled half across the world just to get her back, that's how strong your love for each other is. 

What would a ring on your finger change?" Tiffany asked.

"I don't know, marriage is just... I can't imagine Taeyeon and me go through that." Jessica said. 

Tiffany's eyebrows raised and she looked surprised at Jessica.

"Jessi... you aren't thinking about breaking up with Taeyeon now, are you?"

"No!" Jessica almost jumped up from her seat after hearing  the absurd comment her friend made. 

"I'd never break up with her." Jessica said in a more calmer tone. Tiffany smiled warmly at her.

"Then why not getting married?" Tiffany asked and tilted her head to the side. Jessica sighed and 

shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know." Jessica said and stared at the water bottle in her hands.

Seeing that Jessica seemed to be in deep thought Tiffany leaned back in her chair. The answer 

Jessica gave was enough for her because the conversation had made Jessica at least thi nking 

about marriage. Tiffany wasn't a friend that would force Jessica to get married, but she wouldn't 

hold back and say what she thought about them getting married. In truth Tiffany thought it was 

good for Jessica and Taeyeon to get married, it could make them take their relationship to 

another level.

"Jessi, if this marriage thing is causing problems for you and Taeyeon then I think you two should 

just wait. But if it's not then I think you two really should think about it. It can be good for both of 

you." Tiffany said with a gentle smile. Jessica looked up at Tiffany, Tiffany thought the woman 

looked like a kid when she looked at her like that, a small smile appeared on Jessica's lips and 

she nodded her head.

"I'll try to talk to her today."Jessica said. The two friends looked at each other and smiled. The 

sound from the game Kyungkyu was still playing filled the office.

---With the electric device pressed against her ear Jessica entered the restaurant, she stopped by 

the counter to the small bar in the restaurant and waited for the person on the other line to pick up 

the phone. After the fourth ring a familiar voice answered and Jessica smiled widely.

"Hello, when will you get off work?" Jessica asked the person on the other line. She nodded her 

head and looked up at the waiter that had appeared on the other side of the counter. Jessica held 

up a hand, motioning for the waiter to wait a few seconds, he nodded his head and went to attend 

another customer.

"What do you say about eating out today?" Jessica said. She was making patterns on the counter 

surface. She nodded her head with a smile on her face.

"Okay! I'll reserve a table for us on our favorite restaurant then." Jessica said happily. Her 

eyebrows furrowed in confusion when she heard what Taeyeon said on the other line.

"How did you-" Jessica stopped mid-sentence when she saw Taeyeon entering through the 

entrance to the restaurant. She smiled and hung up her phone and walked over to the woman.

"You're full of surprises, my love." Jessica said and hooked her arm around Taeyeon's. Taeyeon 

smiled and kissed Jessica's cheek before they both went to the counter and asked for a table for 

two.

The waiter led them to a table in the back of the restaurant. Jessica and Taeyeon took a seat on 

the chairs after they had hung their coats over the backrest of respective chair. Once they had sat 

down Jessica noticed it, the feeling that had been between them since yesterday. The 

awkwardness was still there. She glanced at Taeyeon that was looking at the interior of the 

restaurant, like it was a new place they had visited, but Jessica knew as much as Taeyeon knew 

that the restaurant hadn't changed their interior since two years back, so nothing in the restaurant 

was new to them.

Jessica tried to make eye-contact with her girlfriend, which was slightly impossible when Taeyeon 

was avoiding her stare. It was beginning to annoy Jessica. She opened her mouth to say 

something but the waiter returned with menus, stopping Jessica from speaking. The couple 

thanked the waiter and proceed to look through the menu, which was pretty much useless since 

they knew everything the restaurant offered.

Jessica placed down the menu on the table, she already knew what she was going to order. And 

because she for some reason had learned how fast Taeyeon decided on what she would eat she 

quickly noticed Taeyeon was sitting with her menu way too long that usual. It made Jessica 

wanting to flail her arms to get Taeyeon's attention but she knew it would look kind of stupid to 

do. And calmly Jessica waited for her girlfriend to decide what to eat, even though she knew by 

the boring looks Taeyeon gave the menu Taeyeon had already decided  a long time ago.

Finally put Taeyeon down the menu. Hope rose inside of Jessica and she opened her mouth to 

speak but stopped herself when she realized how awkward it would be to talk about the thing she 

was about to speak of. She clamped her mouth shut and stared at Taeyeon. She hoped for 

Taeyeon to start some kind of conversation, but Taeyeon sat quietly in the seat in front of her. 

Jessica mentally groaned by the silence.

How can something that my dad talked about bring out so much problems? Jessica thought and 

averted her gaze to the waiter that was approaching them. Jessica felt kinda relieved by his 

arrival.

The couple ordered their food. Jessica laughed inwardly when she noticed they had ordered the 

same thing without speaking to each other. The waiter took the menu and left the couple to bring 

them their drinks. Silence engulfed between them again. An awkward one at that. Jessica 

propped her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her palm. Table manners was thrown out 

the window. She was having  dinner with her girlfriend which didn't care what manners Jessica 

had at the table. And even though she had promised her parents she would have a proper image 

in the public the awkwardness made it impossible for Jessica to uphold her elegant image. She 

hoped a picture of them would be put on the first page in one of the gossip magazines tomorrow, 

just to show her parents what problems they're causing her with their stupid talk about marriage.

Time passed in silence and their food arrived. The waiter put one plate in front of each woman, 

and in silence they began eating. Jessica began wonder how they appeared to the staff in the 

restaurant, because the staff knew that the couple was always vividly talking to each other when 

they were having dinner at the restaurant. And Jessica knew they knew, because the owner, an 

elderly lady, had once told them she liked to seem them so happy when they were eating there. 

She had even asked them how they could uphold the happiness in their relationship. Jessica 

smiled a small smile by the memory.

Jessica cut the meat on her plate and slowly brought it up to her mouth. She chewed slowly and 

glanced at the woman sitting opposite her, Taeyeon cut her meat too, dipped it in the sauce 

before she also brought it up to her mouth and began chewing on it. Jessica swallowed her bite 

and proceed to cut another bite, her right hand was slightly shaking, probably because she was 

getting frustrated over the silence between them. And everything because of her father.

I'm impressed he manages to bring problems to my relationship now after years of staying out of 

it. Jessica thought and let out a sigh. The sigh didn't go unnoticed by Taeyeon and she looked up 

at her girlfriend across the table. Jessica noticed it and looked up as well, their eyes met for a 

brief second before Taeyeon awkwardly looked away.

Okay, that's it. I can't take it. Jessica put down her utensils with a clatter and wiped her mouth 

with the napkin. Taeyeon looked startled up at her and watched her every move.

"Taeyeon." Jessica said firmly. Taeyeon looked questioning at her, making Jessica sigh. "Do you 

want to talk about what my dad said at the dinner yesterday?" Jessica asked gently. Taeyeon 

chewed slowly on the food she had in her mouth, this time she didn't avert her gaze elsewhere 

and had eye-contact with Jessica.

"No, not really." Taeyeon said and shook her head. Jessica sighed and clasped her hands 

together on the table. "But if you want to talk about it we can." Taeyeon added. Jessica shook her 

head.

"No, it's just... don't let his words get to you Taeyeon, don't think about it. It have never been a 

problem between us, don't let something he said cause one." Jessica said and smiled. The corner 

of Taeyeon's lips turned upwards into a smile as well and she nodded her head.

"Yeah, sorry. I won't think about it anymore." Taeyeon promised.

The awkwardness seemed to fade away between them. Jessica smiled almost relieved, but 

Tiffany's words from earlier today kept bugging her. She chewed on her food slowly while 

watching the woman opposite her that was smiling so widely. Jessica smiled back at Taeyeon, 

Taeyeon's smile that was so contagious to her.

Tiffany said that if it was a problem we should wait with it. Jessica tried to remind herself. Even 

though she actually had prepared herself to talk about the marriage issue with Taeyeon she didn't 

want to force Taeyeon to talk about it. That's why she had asked beforehand, and Taeyeon had 

clearly said she didn't want to. And Jessica knew that if she said she wanted to talk about it, 

Taeyeon would talk about it too, no matter if she wanted to or not.

Jessica slightly furrowed her eyebrows while she watched the blonde woman eat her food.  Maybe 

that's the problem in our relationship. Jessica thought.

When Taeyeon looked up at her Jessica instantly changed her expression and smiled at the love 

of her life. Taeyeon had noticed her expression and worriedly looked at her, Jessica mentally 

scolded herself for being obvious about her inner battles.

"Something wrong?" Taeyeon asked. Jessica knew that lying now was no use.

"I'm just thinking about a meeting." Jessica covered up her real intentions of looking bothered. 

Taeyeon slowly nodded her head, a smile appeared on her lips.

"I'm sure whatever the meeting is about it will go well. You've done it so many times it should be 

no match for you." Taeyeon reassured Jessica. Jessica smiled. Taeyeon had always been 

supportive when it had come to her work.

"Yeah." Jessica said.

"Just get the time to prepare for it and it will be flawless." Taeyeon said with a smile that was so 

wide it showed her teeth. The smile being so contagious that Jessica also smiled widely. Jessica 

nodded her head still with her wide smile plastered on her lips.

"Eat your food or it will get cold." Jessica said  still with her smile on her lips. When she glanced at 

Taeyeon again she noticed the woman had begun eating. "You'll need energy for later." Jessica 

added with a smirk. When she looked at Taeyeon the woman was smiling widely, the smile 

showing how obviously excited Taeyeon was made Jessica break into laughter which soon 

followed in Taeyeon laughing as well.

TaengSic – Part 2

A knock was heard on the door before a woman with long brown hair came in. Jessica raised her 

eyebrow when the woman walked up to her desk and slumped down in the chair right opposite 

hers. She glanced towards Tiffany that had her eyes on the woman that just had arrived. Jessica 

let out a sigh and leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed over her chest and locked her 

eyes on the woman before her.

"I've told you to not just barge into our office, what if I was in an important meeting?" Jessica 

asked the woman.

"I know you don't have meetings on Sundays." Krystal replied while she looked at her nails. 

Jessica let out a sigh and picked up her pen that was lying beside a pile of papers.

"What are you doing here?" Jessica asked and started to fill in papers while she prepared herself 

to listen to her sister's story.

"Just getting out. Dad is nagging about things, telling me to get  a job and things like that." Krystal 

said with a sigh. Jessica stopped signing the paper and looked up at her younger sister that had 

changed so much through the years.

"Well, considering that you're an adult and you should act like one I don't see anyth ing wrong in 

what dad is doing. You should get a job and earn your own living, Krys." Jessica said and went 

back to her work. Krystal looked up from her nails and averted her gaze to her older sister.

"Whatever. Give me a job then, you have this huge company. I'm sure you have some job for 

me." Krystal said and leaned her elbows on her sister's desk. Jessica looked up from the papers 

at her sister. Her gaze went to Tiffany on the other side of the room that was watching the two 

sisters conversing. Jessica let out a sigh and looked back at her sister.

"This company is not only mine, Krys. Besides we don't have any spot for you right now, so I can't 

give you any job." Jessica said and smiled apologetic. Krystal frowned and leaned back in her 

chair and crossed her arms. She looked exactly like Jessica had done when she had entered the 

office.

"I'm your sister. Just kick out one of your other employees and give me the spot, shouldn't be that 

hard."

Jessica's eyes narrowed and she let out a sigh. "Krys, I can't just fire my employees to give my 

sister a job. That's not how business works. Why don't you ask dad if he can find you a job? I'm 

sure he has some contacts." Jessica suggested. Krystal continued to frown.   

"You have contacts too! Why don't you pick up  the phone and call one of them? Besides, why are 

you on dad's side? You're supposed to be on my side!" Krystal said with a louder voice.

"I'm not on dad's side Krys. I'm trying to help you." Jessica reasoned. Krystal rolled her eyes and 

picked up her phone from her pocket and had her focus on the device instead. Jessica let out a 

sigh and looked at Tiffany that looked at her with a sympathetic expression before both of them 

went back to their work.

---Two women was sitting inside the office, both of them were chatting vividly while eating of the 

food that stood on the desk that was beside them. They laughed and the woman that was more 

tanned made hand gestures making the other woman laugh, almost so much she choked on her 

food.

"I'm telling you, he's crazy!" Yuri exclaimed.

"I know. It's too bad I missed the episode yesterday." Taeyeon said with slight disappointment in 

her voice.

"But you got something better." Yuri said and grinned. A wide grin appeared on Taeyeon's lips 

too and she propped a meat piece into her mouth while chewing on it with the grin still on her lips.

"I know." Taeyeon said when she had swallowed the meat. She and Yuri broke into a chuckle 

again while they returned to eat. Yuri went back to tell Taeyeon about the episode Taeyeon had 

missed yesterday of their favorite show. The two friends occasionally talked about the show as 

they watched it every week.

The door to the office opened and an elderly woman entered. The woman's eyes was focused on 

the opened folder in her hand, not noticing the person that was visiting, also not noticing that her 

employee was having lunch. When Mrs. Jung looked up from the folder and her eyes landed on 

the two women that looked back at her her eyes slightly widened.

"Oh, I didn't know you were having lunch." Mrs. Jung said.

"It's okay." Taeyeon said with rice inside her mouth.

"Hi, Yuri. How are you doing?" Mrs. Jung turned to Taeyeon's friend. Yuri smiled at the elderly 

woman.

"Good, how are you?" Yuri asked back. 

"I'm good too." Mrs. Jung said and turned to her daughter's girlfriend.

"This is for you." Mrs. Jung handed the folder to Taeyeon. Taeyeon looked at it questioning while 

she wiped her hands on a napkin before she grabbed the folder. "Take care of it after lunch." Mrs. 

Jung said and glanced at the boxes of food on Taeyeon's desk.

"Okay." Taeyeon placed the folder on a pile of other things that was far away from the food. She 

was careful to not spill anything on her important papers and documents. Mrs. Jung smiled at her 

and with a quick and sudden movement she had grabbed a meat piece from one of the boxes 

and she hurried towards the door. Taeyeon and Yuri looked after the woman that just had stolen 

meat from them.

"You're welcome." Taeyeon said before Mrs. Jung had reached the door.

"Shush, I fed you dinner the other day." Mrs. Jung said before she exited the office. Leaving the 

remaining women to laugh at her comment.

"Talking about dinner, I heard from a reliable source that a very interesting topic was brought up 

during that dinner. Care to tell me about it?" Yuri asked.

Taeyeon let out a sigh and slumped further down into her seat. She thought that since Jessica 

brought it up yesterday it would be the last time she heard about that topic for a while.

"Jessica's dad asked me to propose to Jessica. He wants us to get married." Taeyeon said.

"From my perspective I don't see anything wrong with it." Yuri said with a smile. Taeyeon sighed 

once more and rubbed her right temple.

"I never thought about marrying Jessica, to be honest. I just wanted to be with her. Marriage was 

never on my mind." Taeyeon explained. Yuri nodded her head.

"Why? Do you have a problem with marriages?"

Taeyeon shook her head in answer and Yuri furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"You know me and Jessica are from two different parts of society. My family was poor and she's 

rich, if I was to marry her it would look like I did it for the money. And I don't want that." Taeyeon 

explained further. Yuri's expression softened and she nodded her head.

"But Taeyeon, if at least you and Jessica know the real reason why you are getting married it 

doesn't matter what others thinks." Yuri said with a smile. "Besides, you've got plenty of money 

yourself now. And that money wasn't some birthday present from Jessica's parent s, that's 

actually money you've earned from working."

Taeyeon sighed and propped her chin up on her hand. "Yeah, but how did I earn that money? By 

taking a job with the education Jessica's parents paid for me." Taeyeon said. "And thanks to Mrs. 

Jung's contacts I didn't even need to finish my whole education because I was learning so quickly 

and I could start working earlier."

"Yes, but if you listen, you're saying it happened because you were learning fast, and you got 

your job because you had studied. I don't think Mrs. Jung would have given you a job if you didn't 

have the right education." Yuri said with a smile.

"Yeah but-"

"Excuses Taeyeon, the human mind is good at coming up with those. But your excuses aren't 

really relevant to why you shouldn't marry Jessica."

Taeyeon sighed and slumped further down in her seat. Yuri continued to smile at her friend that 

seemed to be in much distress.

"So what's the real reason you don't want to marry Jessica?"

"That is the reason. Because we're from two diff erent parts of society." Taeyeon said.

"I see. But from what we've talked about you can see it's not a big problem. And besides, that 

differences between you haven't been a problem for you before. And you know why?" Taeyeon 

shook her head with a brow raised. Yuri smiled. "Because even though you're from two different 

worlds, you're both living together in the same world right now. See what I mean?" Yuri explained. 

Taeyeon's eyes widened slightly upon realizing what Yuri had said was true. Satisfied by 

Taeyeon's reaction Yuri smiled.

"Now, think about that marriage thing. I'm sure it won't break your relationship, you've went 

through too many things together already." Yuri advised. Taeyeon nodded her head, and for the 

rest of the lunch she was in deep thoug ht about what Yuri had said.

---After a long day at work Taeyeon finally came home. When she had entered the apartment she 

and Jessica had been living in since they had moved in together after Taeyeon had sold her 

parents house she noticed Jessica also was home. The other woman's shoes stood in the hall. 

Taeyeon stared at the pair of shoes for a few seconds before she proceed to remove hers.

She went to the living room where she heard the TV was on, which she thought was odd as 

Jessica didn't watch that much TV. The lights in the living room were turned off and the only light 

came from the TV. Taeyeon noticed it was a figure sitting on the couch with a blanket covering 

her legs. Upon seeing the woman Taeyeon smiled and made her way to the couch and took  a 

seat beside Jessica that had her eyes glued to the TV.

"Hello." Taeyeon said and leaned in to steal a kiss from her girlfriend. Jessica however didn't turn 

her head from the TV and the kiss landed on her cheek instead. Without thinking any further 

about Jessica weird behavior Taeyeon turned to the TV.

"What are you watching?" Taeyeon asked and turned to Jessica.

"This movie with Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, it's quite old." Jessica answered 

without turning her head. Taeyeon nodded her head and turned her head back to the TV.

"I see, what is it called?"

"The wedding planner." Taeyeon clamped her mouth shut when she heard the title of the movie. 

She glanced at Jessica beside her, but the other woman didn't seem to notice as her eyes were 

fixed on the large TV screen. Taeyeon averted her gaze to the TV again before she stood up and 

made her way to their bedroom to change out of her clothes.

"Is there anything you want to eat?" Taeyeon asked from the bedroom.

"Pasta." Jessica replied without taking her eyes from the TV.

Taeyeon came out from the bedroom when she had changed out of her clothes into a set of more 

comfortable ones and made her way to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. She poured water 

into a pot which she would cook the pasta in later. When she had placed the pot on the stove she 

went to the refrigerator to see what they could eat with the pasta.

"What do you want with the pasta?" Taeyeon asked while she tried to see what they had in the 

refrigerator.

"Bolognese." Jessica replied.

Upon the reply Taeyeon took out things to make bolognese. She went to the kitchen counter and 

started her task and constantly checking the water to see if it started boiling. She could hear the 

sound from the TV into the kitchen. The movie was American and the actors was speaking 

English. Taeyeon could understand some of what they were saying, thanks to the English lessons 

Mrs. Jung put her on when she had started working for the woman. When Mrs. Jung had 

discovered what level Taeyeon's English was at she was disappointed and put Taeyeon on 

English lessons until Taeyeon's English skills was at a level Mrs. Jung was satisfied with.

'Why are you only eating the brown ones?' A male man from the movie said. Taeyeon listened 

in tently at the conversation on the TV while she focused on the bolognese she was making.

'Because someone once said they have less artificial colouring because the chocolate's already 

brown. And it kind of stayed with me.'

'You kind of stayed with me.'

Taeyeon smiled upon hearing the corny line from the male lead. She moved to the stove to start 

heating up the bolognese as well. From the living room she could hear music, she guessed the 

movie had ended.

The sound from the TV disappeared and Taeyeon didn't mind it as she was focused on the 

cooking. When a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist she noticed that another 

person had joined her in the kitchen. Feeling the familiarity from the person she smiled while she 

checked how the pasta was cooking.

"It smells like pasta and bolognese." Jessica said and placed her chin on Taeyeon's shoulder.

"It's because it is pasta and bolognese." Taeyeon replied. The arms around her waist tighten and 

she felt lips press against the side of her neck.

"Why did you work so late today?" Jessica asked with her face buried into Taeyeon's hair.

"Because a client called when I was supposed to go home and I had to go there immediately."

Jessica sighed and followed when Taeyeon walked to the refrigerator still with her arms wrapped 

around the other woman's waist.

"I missed you today." Jessica said. Taeyeon smiled and put a free hand on top of the hands 

Jessica had clasped together in front of her stomach.

"I missed you too." Taeyeon said.

The couple remained quiet while Taeyeon continued to cook their dinner. The sound from the 

boiling pasta and bolognese filled the kitchen when the couple was silent. Jessica continued to 

hug Taeyeon tightly around her waist, like a koala hugging a tree. And whenever Taeyeon moved 

somewhere, Jessica moved with her.

"Even though I really like this position we're having, can you take out some plates for us?" 

Taeyeon asked after a while. Jessica looked up at the cupboard she knew they were keeping 

their plates, bowls and saucers. She let go of Taeyeon's waist with one arm and tried to reach the 

cupboard with it, when she couldn't reach it she moved herself and Taeyeon closer to the 

cupboard. Taeyeon broke out in a chuckle when she realized what Jessica was doing.

"It would have been easier if you had let me go." Taeyeon said when she let herself being led by 

Jessica that now moved them towards the table with the two plates.

"But it's hard to let you go." Jessica said and placed the plates on the table and once  again 

moved to the cupboards to get two glasses for them. She continued to drag Taeyeon with her 

while she was getting the items.

"Are we gonna eat like this too?" Taeyeon asked when she now was watching Jessica getting 

them a forks and knives to eat with.

"You could sit on my lap." Jessica suggested. Taeyeon chuckled.

"Sounds tempting." Taeyeon replied.

"Is the food done?" Jessica asked when she had placed the forks and knives on the table.

"Yeah."

Upon the reply Jessica moved towards the stove and helped Taeyeon to bring the pot with pasta 

and the bolognese to the table. Once the food was placed on the table she dragged Taeyeon 

towards a chair which she took a seat on first and then made Taeyeon sit on her lap, just like she 

had said they would eat.

"You are really clingy today." Taeyeon replied but didn't make any sign of moving away from her 

seat on Jessica's lap.

"But you like it." Jessica said with her arms wrapped around Taeyeon's waist.

"How much do you want?" Taeyeon asked and showed the  plate she had poured up some pasta 

and bolognese on. Jessica glanced at the plate and nodded her head.

"That's enough." Jessica said. Taeyeon placed the plate in front of them and took the other and 

poured up almost the same amount on food on it too before she placed it beside the other plate. 

She grabbed a fork and took some pasta and bolognese from the first plate and turned to Jessica 

with it.

"Here." Taeyeon said. Jessica opened her mouth and let herself be fed by Taeyeon. Taeyeon ate 

some pasta and bolognese from the second plate. Her eyes landed on the two empty glasses 

when she was chewing her food.

"We forgot to bring out something to drink." Taeyeon said when she had swallowed her food.

"I'm not getting it." Jessica said and opened her mouth to  get fed another bite. When she had 

being fed the food on the fork she felt Taeyeon move away from her lap but she tightened her 

grip on the woman making her unable to move away from her position. "And neither do you." 

Jessica said with her mouth full of food.

"Okay..." Taeyeon said and ate another bite from her pasta and bolognese.

"We'll be fine without something to drink." Jessica assured.

Taeyeon smiled and fed Jessica another bite. "Can't you eat by yourself?" Taeyeon asked.

"It was you that started to feed me." Jessica reminded. Taeyeon smiled and grabbed the second 

fork and gave it to Jessica. Jessica grabbed the fork and proceed to eat. When she brought up 

the fork to put it in her mouth some sauce from the bolognese dropped on her chin, making th e 

woman on her lap giggle.

"Gosh, you can't be thirty years old." Taeyeon said and grabbed a napkin to help Jessica wipe 

away the sauce.

"I'm twenty seven." Jessica corrected her with a grin.

"But you're acting like a three years old. I think even Kyung kyu eats better than you." Taeyeon 

said when she had finished wiping away the sauce. Jessica continued to look at her with a wide 

grin. "What am I going to do with you?" Taeyeon said with a smile.

"Love me." Jessica said with a grin. Taeyeon chuckled and  placed one arm around Jessica's 

neck.

"I'm already loving you." Taeyeon said and kissed Jessica on the lips. When she broke the kiss 

and looked at Jessica the woman had a grin, wide enough to rip her face apart. Taeyeon 

chuckled and turned to the plates in front of them.

"Eat now." Taeyeon said and proceed to feed Jessica. Happily Jessica opened her mouth to let 

herself be fed again. "When I look at you like this I can't help to think that you intentionally 

dropped sauce on your chin to make me feed you." Taeyeon said and fed Jessica another bite 

when she had swallowed.

"Ops, you got me." Jessica said with a smirk. Taeyeon shook her head and fed herself a bite.

"So how was your day today? Except from the part that you missed me." Taeyeon asked and fed 

Jessica another bite. Jessica finished chewing on her food and swallowed before she answered.

"Krystal came over." Jessica said and opened her mouth to let Taeyeon feed her some pasta. 

Taeyeon raised her eyebrows in surprise while she chewed on the food in her mouth.

"Oh, that's nice." Taeyeon replied. Jessica shook her head.

"No, she was getting away from our dad. He's nagging her about getting a job and she went to 

me and complained about it. Then she asked me to fire one of my employees to give her a job." 

Jessica said and ate another bite of pasta Taeyeon fed her. Taeyeon nodded her head and a 

smile appeared on her lips.

"Hire her as your private office cleaner." Taeyeon suggested. Jessica chuckled and almost made 

Taeyeon fall down from her lap by her sudden laugh.

"God, why didn't I think of that? I should totally call her tomorrow and offer her the job." Jessica 

laughed. Taeyeon chuckled too and fed Jessica another bite of food.

"Nah, she should get a real job. She should ask your mother, I'm sure she has some contacts." 

Taeyeon said. Jessica nodded her head.

"Yeah, but she's stubborn and won't ask our parents for help. But she can ask me for help." 

Jessica said and sighed. Taeyeon nodded her head knowingly.

"I'll see if I know something too. If that would lessen your burden." Taeyeon said. Jessica smiled 

and nodded her head.

"Yeah, please do." Jessica said.

A comfortable silence settled between the couple. Taeyeon continued to feed Jessica and at the 

same time eating her own food. The couple exchanged happy smiles when they looked at each 

other. Jessica looked at the plates that stood in front of them, she noticed they almost had 

finished their dinner.

"Taeyeon, how long do you want to live with me?" Jessica asked all of sudden. The woman on 

her lap that had been about to feed her another bite lowered the fork and placed it back on the 

plate. Taeyeon turned towards Jessica, confusion was showing in her eyes by the sudden 

question.

"If only forever was long enough I'd have answered that, but it  isn't. I want to live with you longer 

than forever." Taeyeon said with a smile. A smile broke out on Jessica's lips. She wrapped her 

arms even tighter around Taeyeon's stomach, not even minding that the woman just had eaten. 

Taeyeon smiled upon the reaction from Jessica and placed her arms around Jessica's neck and 

stroked Jessica's hair.

"Why did you ask?" Taeyeon asked.

"Just because." Jessica said still with her smile on her face. Taeyeon nodded her head and the 

couple continue to sit in silence while they hugged each other.

"You know what, I'm beginning to get thirsty." Jessica broke the silence. Taeyeon looked at the 

empty glasses and then back to the woman she was sitting on top of.

"I'm not getting anything to drink." Taeyeon said. She was enjoyi ng her position too much to 

move away now.

"And neither do I." Jessica said.

The couple was silent for a while, both of them trying to come up with an idea to satisfy Jessica's 

thirst.

"We hire Krystal as our maid and she can get us something to drink."  Jessica suggested. 

Taeyeon laughed by the comment.

"Good idea. Let's call her right away. Oh, our phones is in the bedroom. Too bad we can't call her 

if we don't move away from here." Taeyeon said. A sigh left Jessica's lips.

"Okay, we get up on three." Jessica said.

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Taeyeon." Jessica said when she noticed the woman on her lap hadn't made any attempt at all 

of getting off.

"It's too comfortable on your lap." Taeyeon said honestly.

Jessica sighed and leaned her head agianst Taeyeon's arm. "I guess I'll just bear with the thirst." 

She replied defeated. Taeyeon smiled satisfied and kissed the crown of Jessica's head.

"I knew you would." Taeyeon said with her lips still lingering against Jessica's head.

TaengSic part 3

The sleeping woman stirred as she felt the body she had her arm wrapped around moved away from 

her. She blinked her eyes to adjust them to the darkness in the room while she listened to the rustling 

sound of fabric. Wanting to know what was going on she searched for the light switch to the lamp above 

the bed. Finding it she turned the lamp on and saw Taeyeon beside the bed, busy putting on her skirt.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" Taeyeon asked and leaned over the bed and kissed Jessica's forehead.

"Are you going somewhere?" Jessica groggily asked.

"Something about a client came up." Taeyeon said and turned to the mirror to fix her tie. Jessica tiredly 

rubbed her eyes.

"Can't you go tomorrow? It's in the middle of the night." Jessica asked. Taeyeon turned around when 

she had fixed her tie and smiled apologetic at Jessica.

"I'm sorry, they said I needed to be there quickly." Taeyeon apologized and kissed Jessica's cheek.

"Sounds like a lie to make you work hours you don't usually work at." Jessica muttered and  watched as 

Taeyeon put on her blazer and fixed her hair before grabbing her shoes.

"I'm sorry. I've to go now. Don't wait up." Taeyeon pecked Jessica's lips before she headed out from the 

bedroom and left Jessica alone in the room to sleep.

Jessica heard Taeyeon grabbing the keys on the kitchen counter and seconds later she heard the door 

opened and closed which was followed by Taeyeon locking the door. Jessica sighed and laid down with 

her face down on Taeyeon's pillow.

"You know I can't sleep when you're not here." Jessica mumbled into the pillow.

---Tiffany walked into the office, greeting Boram before she entered, and almost dropping her coffee and 

other things in her hands when she saw Jessica was already sitting by her desk. Her best friend and 

partner didn't seem to notice her as Jessica continued to type on her computer, her eyes never leaving 

the screen.

Tiffany could see eye bags behind the spectacles and the layer of make-up Jessica was wearing to 

cover them up. While arching an eyebrow Tiffany made her way towards her desk and placed down the 

cup of coffee and folder she had been holding in her other hand.

"You're here early. I thought you'd come around 11." Tiffany said and took a sip of her coffee and 

looked at Jessica over the edge of her cup.

Jessica stopped typing and turned to look at Tiffany. The tiredness in the woman's eyes were evident 

and it looked like she hadn't slept all night.

"Did someone keep you up late tonight?" Tiffany asked when she figured Jessica wasn't going to say 

something to the first sentence, and her inquiries about Jessica's tired state took the better out of her.

Jessica rolled her eyes as she knew what Tiffany was hinting at. And she had wished it actually was 

what Tiffany was thinking about. She turned to the computer again and resumed her work.

"An empty bed kept me awake." Jessica mumbled in answer.

Tiffany raised her eyebrows in surprise as she took another sip of her coffee. "Oh, where was 

Taeyeon?" Tiffany asked and lowered her cup from her mouth and turned to turn on her computer so 

she could begin working as well.

The sound from Jessica's typing paused and Tiffany looked towards her best friend and saw Jessica 

staring blankly at the computer screen.

"Something about a client came up in the middle  of night and she had to go and didn't return." Jessica 

said and began typing again. Tiffany nodded in understanding. She knew that Taeyeon is Jessica's 

sleeping pill and without Taeyeon Jessica would be awake all night. Then she realized what Jessica 

just had said and she looked at the other woman again.

"In the middle of the night? Isn't that kinda strange?" Tiffany spoke out her ponder. Seeing how 

surprised Jessica seemed by what she just had said she immediately wished she hadn't said anything. 

"Or maybe they just needed someone extra." Tiffany said in hope of calming Jessica down but Jessica 

had already picked up her phone and was dialing a number. With concerned eyes Tiffany watched her 

best friend wait for someone on the other line to pick up.

"Mom." Jessica spoke when the person had picked up. Tiffany nervously watched the woman 

conversing with her mother.

"What kind of client meets up with their attorney in the middle of the night?" Jessica asked. She was 

spinning her pen around her fingers while she stared at the screen of her computer. The woman's eyes 

widened and Tiffany bit down on her lower lip.

"But Taeyeon-" Jessica stopped and nodded her head. "Oh, I see. Thank you mom. But I need to go 

now. Love you too. Bye." Jessica hung up and stared at her phone. Tiffany could see the confusion in 

her friend's eyes while she waited for Jessica to say something, she didn't dare ask Jessica first about 

what the woman's mother had said.

"Do you think Taeyeon is cheating on me?" Jessica suddenly asked and  spun her chair around to face 

Tiffany. Tiffany's eyes widened and she shook her head.

"No, Jessi. I don't think Taeyeon could do that to you. She loves you too much." Tiffany said. Jessica 

nodded her head and placed her phone on her desk.

"But why would she lie about meeting a client just to go out in the middle of the night?" Jessica asked. 

Tiffany shrugged her shoulders, still looking at Jessica with her sympathetic expression. "And a few 

days ago she came home later than usual, and she also said it was because of a client." Jessica 

remembered. Jessica looked towards Tiffany that still looked at her with a sympathetic look.

"Maybe I'm trusting her more than I should. Maybe I'm blind to what she's doing to me." Jessica said. 

Her eyes widened when she started to piece things together. "Maybe that's why she's avoiding the 

issue about marriage."

---Light shone through the small opening in the curtains that had been drawn to cover the windows in the 

room. One of the figures on the bed stirred when the light reached her eyes. She opened them slowly 

only to cover them again when she got dazzled by the light. Her head turned away from the light and 

she rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up on the bed. She stopped rubbing her tired eyes and she 

scanned the room she was in. One thing was sure, she wasn't at home.

A yawn escaped her lips and she turned to the other side of the bed. Seeing the other figure on the bed 

her eyes widened and a guilt stricken expression appeared on her face. She turned her head away 

from the other person on the bed and she began searching for a certain device. Not finding the item in 

the bed nor on the bedside table Taeyeon got up from the bed. She found her blazer on the couch in 

the room and she made her way towards it. With her left hand  she lifted the item of cloth and began 

searching its pockets. Finally finding what she was searching for she took out her cellphone from one of 

the pockets.

The device was turned off, which worried her more. She tried to turn it on but the battery was dead. A 

curse slipped her lips and she instantly snapped her head to the bed where the other woman was still 

lying on. The woman was still sleeping, which made Taeyeon a bit relieved. The blonde woman sighed 

and she put her dead cell phone back into her pocket and began searching for some kind of watch or 

clock to see what time it was.

Her eyes caught a watch around the sleeping woman's wrist. Taeyeon bit her lower lip when she 

figured she had to go near the woman again to see what time it was. Realising she  hadn't much choice 

she closed in on the bed again and got up on it to get a better view of the watch. She hoped the woman 

wouldn't wake up when she was moving closer to her like this.

A mumble escaped the sleeping woman's lips and Taeyeon froze in her spot, afraid the woman would 

wake up. The woman mumbled some more before she turned her head. Taeyeon waited for a few 

seconds before she dared to take a look at the watch, the time was 9.35am. Having memorized 

Jessica's schedule Taeyeon knew the woman started at 11am today, which meant Jessica was still at 

home. A sigh left Taeyeon's lips and she moved to get off the bed. She sat down at the edge of it and 

rubbed her temples.

I can't go home. And I won't take a shower here. I guess I'll just have to go to w ork like this. Taeyeon 

thought and glanced at the woman on the bed that was still sleeping. A frown appeared on Taeyeon's 

lips and she began searching for her shoes.

She can take care of herself now. Taeyeon thought and continued her search for her pair of shoes.

---Two women was standing in the elevator that was on its way down. The woman that was standing to 

the right glanced carefully at the girl standing to the left. Tiffany knew that ever since Jessica had come 

up about the theory of Taeyeon possibly cheating on her the woman had been down pretty much all 

day. She also had been treating their employees pretty coldly. Something that were unusual. Jessica 

was always filled with love, and happiness seemed to surround her friend at most times. Tiffany wished 

she hadn't pointed out that it was strange Taeyeon had left in the middle of the night. She didn't want to 

be the reason for Jessica to be unhappy.

"Jessi." Tiffany turned to her best friend since birth. Jessica was blankly staring at the elevator d oors. 

The woman looked even more tired now than when Tiffany had got to work. The younger of the two 

women swallowed nervously. "About the dinner we were supposed to have tonight, you don't really 

have to come if you don't feel like it." Tiffany assured.

"No." Jessica said. Her voice was ice cold. "We'll come to the dinner. Don't worry about it." Jessica said. 

Once her sentence had ended the elevator had reached their destined floor which was the underground 

parking lot of their company building. Jessica was the first one to exit the elevator and Tiffany was 

following right after her.

"Are you sure?" Tiffany asked when they were walking to their cars that were parked beside each other.

"I'm sure. It's probably just some misunderstanding. Like you said, Ta eyeon loves me too much to cheat 

on me." Jessica said and entered her white BMW M Boss. Tiffany looked at the car with helpless eyes. 

She wanted to believe what Jessica was saying, but when Jessica spoke with that kind of tone it was 

hard to get convinced that the woman was fine. With a sigh Tiffany entered her pink Audi R8.

---

A black BMW M Boss was driving down the road. The driver being a blonde woman in her late twenties 

was rubbing her temple while she had her eyes fixed on the road. Her eyes caught a familiar woman on 

the street. The woman being taller than she is, and had  long brown hair seemed to have trouble walking 

straight. She was also being helped by a man with brown hair, the man seemed to the around the same 

age as the woman. A frown appeared on Taeyeon's lips and she started slowing down her car.

"Not again." Taeyeon muttered under her breath and drove to stop beside the the sidewalk. She 

stopped the car and got out of the car and made her way to the man and woman.

With quick steps she caught up with the man and the woman. Her hand took a hold of the woman's 

wrist and she pulled at her, making the woman stop and the man turned towards her. The man's 

eyebrows were furrowed when he saw who it was.

"Thank you for helping her, but I'll take it from here." Taeyeon said and began leading the woman 

towards the car. The m an that had his arm around the woman's waist didn't let go and kept a firm grip 

around her.

"Sorry, but she promised to be with me today." The man said with a grin. Taeyeon stared blankly at him 

and then back at the woman whose wrist she was still holding.

"If she was in the right state of mind right now she wouldn't be with you, and if she somehow ended up 

being in the same place as you she would probably slap you across the face for everything you've done 

to her." Taeyeon said and tugged at the woman's  wrist to make her follow her. The woman let out a 

giggle. "Krystal, let's go." Taeyeon said and tried to pull her girlfriend's little sister away from the man.

The man continued to hold a firm grip around Krystal's waist. Taeyeon noticed it and sent a glare 

towards him before she looked at Krystal that was too wasted to even bother what was going on.

"Krystal did you promise to be with Minho today?" Taeyeon asked the drunk woman. Krystal furrowed 

her eyebrows and tried to focus her eyes on Taeyeon, but in her condition it was quite impossible.

"Minho?" Krystal asked like she hadn't heard the name before. A triumphant smile appeared on 

Taeyeon's lips while a frown appeared on the man's.

"Minho, you know, your ex. He told me you had promised to be with him today." Taeyeon continued. 

Krystal let out a laugh and slapped Taeyeon's shoulder.

"It's bullsh*t. He doesn't know what he's talking about." Krystal said. Minho let go of Krystal's waist, 

making the brown haired woman stumble a bit until Taeyeon took a hold of her to let her use her as a 

support.

"I thought it sounded like a lot of bullsh*t too. Now let's take you somewhere else." Taeyeon said and 

began leading Krystal away from the man that had been the woman's ex.

Taeyeon helped Krystal into the passenger seat while she went to the drivers seat. When both of them 

was inside the car Taeyeon let out a sigh and put her car keys inside the ignition. She glanced at the 

woman in the passenger seat that leaned her head against the window. Another sigh left T aeyeon's lips 

and she started the car.

"Seriously, you need to stop drinking Krys. And keeping it a secret from your family won't help you 

either." Taeyeon said and drove out on the road. She checked the time and a sigh left her lips. "Lucky 

you that I got off early from work today."

---The black BMW came into a halt outside a small house. Taeyeon glanced to the house before her eyes 

landed on Krystal on the seat beside hers. A sigh left the older woman's lips and she made her way out 

of the car and began helping Krystal out of the car. The brown haired woman had fallen asleep during 

the ride and now when Taeyeon was trying to lift her out of the car it felt like she was lifting dead 

weight.

When she finally been able to get Krystal out of her car, Taeyeon closed the car door and made her 

way to the front door of the house. She somehow managed to ring the doorbell even though she was 

carrying the woman that was still asleep. A relieved sigh escaped Taeyeon's lips when she heard the 

door unlock.

The door opened and an older Sulli stood on the other side of the door. A confused expression 

appeared on Sulli's face but changed drastically to a worried when she saw Krystal in Taeyeon's arms. 

Taeyeon managed to smile apologetic at the younger woman by the door.

"I'm really sorry, but could you take care of her?" Taeyeon requested. Sulli averted her worried eyes 

that had been on the sleeping Krystal to the older woman that had spoken. Sulli nodded her head and 

held out her arms to take the sleeping woman from Taeyeon.

"Yes, of course I can." Sulli assured. Just when Taeyeon helped Sulli to carry Krystal the sleeping 

woman stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes. Krystal's eyes landed on Sulli that was now carrying 

her, a wide smile appeared on Krystal's lips.

"Hi." Krystal said. Her smile suddenly faded and she turned her head away from Sulli and before either 

Taeyeon or Sulli had reacted Krystal had puked over Taeyeon's shirt. Both Sulli and Krystal stared at 

the yellow stain on Taeyeon's white shirt.

"Sorry..." Krystal mumbled before she dozed off to sleep in Sulli's arms. Taeyeon sighed and Sulli 

continued to look at her with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry." Sulli apologized. Another sigh left Taeyeon's lips.

"It's okay. Just take care of her. I have to go now." Taeyeon said and turned to go back to her car. She 

glanced down at the stain on her shirt, another sigh left her lips and she tried to not breath with her 

nose. She didn't feel like breathing in the smell of puke for the whole way home.

---The woman with the chestnut colored hair closed the door to the apartment when she had entered. The 

first thing she noticed was the pair of shoes that had been missing when she had left for work, the two 

other things she noticed was the sound of the shower and the laundry machine. Jessica's eyes widened 

slightly.

The maid leave at three, so she can't be washing any clothes. And why would Taeyeon wash 

clothes? Jessica thought and removed her shoes and made her way into her apartment. She placed 

her hand bag on the counter in the kitchen while her eyes looked the way towards the bathroom.

Why would she wash clothes and take a shower? Jessica swallowed nervously.

The sound from the shower stopped. Jessica went to the kitchen and took a glass from the cupb oard 

above the sink. Her ears was focused on the sound from the bedroom. She took a bottle of water from 

the refrigerator and poured up a glass for her before she put the bottle back, her ears still strained to 

listen to what Taeyeon was doing in the bedro om.

When she had finished drinking half of her glass of water Taeyeon came out from the bedroom. Her 

hair was still damp and she had a fresh set of clothes on. Seeing the sight Jessica placed down her 

glass on the kitchen counter and went up to Taeyeon that was busily buttoning up her white, clean shirt. 

Taeyeon felt her approaching and the blonde woman looked up and flashed Jessica a smile. Jessica 

didn't smile back and instead took the job of fixing Taeyeon's clothes. 

"When did you get home?" Taeyeon asked with a smile on her lips. She watched Jessica's hands that 

were fixing her shirt.

"A few minutes ago." Jessica replied and straighten out some invisible wrinkles on Taeyeon's shirt. Her 

hands lingered on Taeyeon's shoulders, her eyes were focused downwards. Taeyeon eyed her with 

confusion.

"Is something the matter?" Taeyeon asked worriedly.

Jessica let her hands slide behind Taeyeon's neck and she pressed the woman closer to kiss her. 

Taeyeon was stunned by the sudden kiss but reciprocated soon. When Jessica broke away from the 

kiss she let her arms slide down to Taeyeon's shoulders and she held the woman in an embrace. 

Taeyeon was still confused but let herself be hugged while she hugged Jessica back.

"Do you love me?" Jessica asked all of sudden.

"Of course I love you." Taeyeon said.

"You would never do anything to hurt me, right?"

"No, that would just hurt me as well." Taeyeon replied. A small smile appeared on Jessica's lips and 

she broke the hug. She smiled at Taeyeon while she fixed Taeyeon's shirt again before she backed 

away from the woman she loved so much.

"I'm gonna take a shower before we go. We'll meet Yuri and Fany at seven, right?" Jessica asked and 

began undressing while she went to the bedroom.

"Yeah, at seven." Taeyeon said and watched when Jessica left for the bedroom. She was still confused 

by the sudden questions Jessica had asked, but she didn't think much about it and went to the kitchen. 

She finished Jessica's glass of water before she put the glass in the dishwasher and went to the living 

room to wait for her girlfriend to get ready.

---The jet black haired woman and the brown haired woman stopped talking when they noticed two other 

women take a seat by their table. They turned their heads to the two people they had been waiting for. 

A smile appeared on their lips when they saw their friends finally had arrived.

"You're ten minutes late." Yuri pointed out after she had checked the time on her watch.

"Sorry, I took longer in the shower than intended." Jessica apologized while she picked up one of the 

menus on the table. Taeyeon that were sitting beside her copied her act and picked up another menu.

"It's okay, we didn't wait that long after all." Tiffany assured and picked up a menu as well and began 

looking for something suitable to eat. The four women sat in silence while they tried to figure out 

something to eat. They only broke the silence to ask the others what they thought of a certain dish.

When they all had come to a decision to what they'll eat they called for a waiter and made their orders. 

They also made the order of their drinks at the same time, which they got while they were waiting for 

their food to arrive. Now when the four women was settled with their drinks they began chatting, like 

they always do.

"Where's Kyungkyu?" Taeyeon asked the parents of the little boy. Tiffany and Yuri smiled at the 

mention of their son.

"At my parents' place." Yuri said with a smile. "They've been begging me to let them babysit him. 

They're a bit jealous of Tiffany's parents because we always let them babysit him." Yuri said. The black 

haired woman had one of her arms placed around Tiffany's shoulders while she spoke. The brown 

haired woman was nodding her head to everything she said.

"I also wanna babysit him." Jessica said with a pout. The three women started laughing by the chestnut 

haired woman's statement.

"But when I need a babysitter you're always so busy." Tiffany pointed out. Jessica furrowed her 

eyebrows.

"I can't help it. I happened to be one of the owners of  this big company. I'm sure you know what 

company I'm talking about." Jessica said. Tiffany chuckled while smiles appeared on the other two 

women's lips.

"But I'll make sure to fix a day for you to babysit him. Maybe when we both have a day off?" Tiffany 

suggested and sipped on her white wine. Jessica nodded her head agreeing on the suggestion.

The talk continued when the food had arrived and when they began eating as well, now they talked 

about Taeyeon and Yuri's work. While Jessica and Tiffany was the CEOs of their company, Yuri had 

become Mr. Hwang's partner in his company. The older man that had began thinking about retiring from 

his spot at his company needed someone that could take his spot, and seeing what a good job Yuri had 

done during her years of working for him he couldn't find any better person to take his spot. Yuri that 

also was family to him only made the decision better.

After Taeyeon had dealt with her mother's death ten years ago the girl had taken up an interest of law, 

which also had caught Mrs. Jung interest. And while the woman helped Taeyeon to get the education 

she needed, Jessica's mother had started up a law firm which she soon had hired Taeyeon to after 

seeing what a talented kid Taeyeon was. And since the first day at her work for Mrs. Jung's law firm 

Taeyeon had done an extremely good job as an attorney. Both Mrs. Jung and Jessica had been proud 

of Taeyeon, and now after four years of working for Mrs. Jung Taeyeon had a saying in the decisions in 

Mrs. Jung's law firm, even though the woman preferred to be bossed around.

A laughter broke out around the table when Taeyeon had told them about one of the times when Mrs. 

Jung had lost her glasses at the law firm and had almost called a private detective to search for them. 

Both Jessica and Taeyeon knew that Mrs. Jung had a pair of eyeglasses that she treasured dearly as it 

had been a present from Taeyeon and Jessica for her fifty fifth birthday, and they knew why the woman 

must have been so desperate to find the glasses, but the event was still funny when they talked about it 

afterwards.

"Too bad it was her glasses she lost, or she might have seen where she had put them." Jessica said 

and ate a piece of meat from Taeyeon's plate. The chestnut haired woman had already finished her 

food and was now helping Taeyeon eating hers. The statement made the three other women chuckle.

"Yeah, but I felt so sorry for her. She made everyone at the firm search for them and none was able to 

leave until they were found. It was a disaster." Taeyeon said . Jessica chuckled while she imagined how 

desperately her mother must have looked for the eyeglasses.

"Didn't you tell her we could get her another pair of glasses if she didn't find them?" Jessica asked and 

glanced at Taeyeon beside her.

"I did! But she wouldn't listen to me. Your mother is as stubborn as you are sometimes." Taeyeon said. 

The last statement earned Taeyeon a slap on her shoulder while the two other women laughed.

"But it's quite cute that she's treasuring your present like that." Tiffany pointed out. Jessica shrugged 

her shoulders and ate another piece of meat from Taeyeon's plate.

"Well, it's eyeglasses from France. She might be thinking we won't be able to get her another pair if we 

don't go there." Jessica said. Tiffany nodded her head. The chestnut haired woman glanced at Taeyeon 

which smiled at her.

"It's nice talking like this, but I need to go to the ladies room before my bladder explodes." Taeyeon 

finally announced and stood up from her seat. She kissed Jessica before she made he r way towards 

the bathrooms.

Jessica watched Taeyeon leave while she finished the food on Taeyeon's plate. She grabbed a napkin 

and wiped her mouth when she had finished the food and turned to the couple opposite her. A smile 

appeared on her lips when she caught the sight of Tiffany leaning her head against Yuri's shoulder.

"Are you tried, Tiff?" Jessica asked. A nod came from the brown haired woman.

"It's the food's fault." Tiffany said. A chuckle came from Jessica and Yuri.

"I think I'm going to the ladies room too. Be back later. And do not dare leave me and Taeyeon with the 

bill." Jessica said jokingly. Tiffany and Yuri smiled by Jessica's joke and the brown haired woman 

motioned for Jessica to go. With a smile on her lips Jessica went the same way Taeyeon had done a 

few seconds ago.

When she closed in on the bathroom she heard a familiar voice from inside the room. With confusion 

Jessica slowed down in her track until she came to a complete halt outside of the bathroom. Taeyeon 

was speaking with someone inside the bathroom, and because it sounded like Taeyeon was alone 

Jessica figured the woman was on the phone. With her heart beating irregularly fast Jessica waited 

outside the bathroom while she listened to the woman on the other side of the door.

"I can't meet you right now." Taeyeon's voice said.

Jessica furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She thought this scene was too familiar. She remembered 

it from a drama she had seen a long time ago when the girlfriend had caught her boyfriend cheating on 

her. Jessica wished she wasn't in the same situation the girl in the drama had been it. Jessica gulped 

nervously and continued to listen to what Taeyeon was saying.

"I'm with Jessica right now, I can't leave her. It will look suspicious. And I can't blame  it on work either." 

Taeyeon said.

Jessica's eyes widened. She felt a pain in her heart that she hadn't felt for years. Tears started to brim 

in her eyes but she didn't care, she moved towards the door and opened it. She stood face to face with 

a guilt stricken Taeyeon that had her phone pressed against her ear. The blonde woman lowered the 

phone from her ear when she saw the sight of Jessica entering.

"Sica..."Taeyeon said when the chestnut haired woman had entered.

"You’re cheating on me." Jessica said in a sad voice.

Taeyeon's eyes widened and she looked at her phone that was in her hand.

"No! I'd never, I was only-"

"It sure as hell looks like you're doing it. Going out in the middle of the night, lying about it being work 

when in truth it's not. And avoiding the talk of marriage. The signs have always been there, I've just 

been too blind to see them!" Jessica said. The first tears had now begun to run down her cheeks. 

Taeyeon looked at her with sad eyes.

"It's not like that Sica, it's-"

Jessica didn't listen to her. She had had enough of this, she didn't know what more lies could come out 

of Taeyeon's mouth, and she wasn't someone that was to stay and find out. The chestnut haired 

woman left the blonde woman in the bathroom while she made her way back to the table. By the sound 

of following steps she knew Taeyeon was following her out.

"Jessica, let's talk about this. It's not what it looks like." Taeyeon tried to reason but Jessica didn't look 

back at her.

When Jessica arrived at the table she began looking for the car keys in Taeyeon's jacket. They had 

come to the restaurant with Taeyeon's car, and she didn't care how the other woman was going to get 

home, but Jessica would get home in the vehicle she had arrived in. Tiffany and Yuri looked confused 

at Jessica that frantically searched Taeyeon's jacket pockets.

"Are you leaving?" Yuri asked confused. She turned her head when she noticed Taeyeon approaching.

"Jessica, where are you going?" Tiffany asked when she noticed the woman had gotten a hold of the 

keys in Taeyeon's jacket pocket. Jessica however didn't reply any questions and turned to leave but got 

stopped by a hand that grabbed her wrist.

"I'm not cheating on you, I've been with Krystal!" Taeyeon explained. Jessica spun around and sent  a 

glare towards the blonde woman that was keeping her from leaving.

"Oh, it's Krystal now? Sure as hell it's Krystal! You think I'd believe you now after you've lied to me one 

time already? You cheating b*astard!" Jessica snatched her hand away from Taeyeon and pushed the 

blonde woman away. "And I believed you when you said you loved me today. What a fool I've been." 

Jessica said and turned on her heels and left the helplessly looking Taeyeon and the confused Tiffany 

and Yuri at the restaurant where they were supposed to have a nice and calm dinner.

---The blonde woman didn't mind taking off her shoes when she entered the apartment. The whole place 

was dark and it looked like no one was home, but the sound of someone crying led her to the bedroom. 

The door was closed and when she felt the doorknob she notice the door was locked. The crying sound 

stopped and she pressed her ear against the door to hear what was going on inside.

"Sica, let me in." Taeyeon knocked on the door. No response came and she sig hed.

"I haven't been cheating on you." Taeyeon said and averted her gaze to the floor. Footsteps was heard 

on the other side of the door, and ever since the incident at the restaurant Taeyeon felt some glimpse of 

hope. The bedroom door unlocked and opened.

Taeyeon caught a glimpse of Jessica before a pillow got thrown into her face and the door slammed 

shut again. Taeyeon slumped her shoulders and removed the pillow from her face. A blanket was lying 

by her feet and with sad eyes she looked up at the closed door in front of her.

"Jessica-"

"Shut up or I'll throw you out of the apartment. I don't want to hear your stupid excuses that's probably 

just another lie. You blew it Taeyeon." Jessica's reply was. Taeyeon sighed and looked down at the 

blanket on the floor. She slowly bent to pick it up.

With the blanket and pillow in her hand she glanced at the door one last time, the crying had begun 

again, and even though it pained her heart Taeyeon turned on her heels and made her way to the 

couch. She lied down on the furniture and stared up at the ceiling. The sound of Jessica crying 

continued to keep her awake, the guilt inside her was eating her alive. Finally when Jessica's crying had 

stopped Taeyeon was able to close her eyes and trying to sleep, even though it was only a few hours 

until she needed to get up for work.

TaengSic part 4

A woman with a cap was sitting with a brown haired woman by a table in a cafe. It was ten in the 

morning, both women had a coffee cup in front of them. The cap clad woman had a glass of orange 

juice and a plate with french toast in front of her too. The toast and orange juice was untouched, the 

same for the coffee. Only the brown haired woman had touched her coffee, and with concerned eyes 

she looked at the cap clad woman that were staring outside the window with lifeless eyes.

Tiffany brought up her coffee cup to her mouth and sipped on the coffee. Her eyes never left Jessica 

that were sitting in front of her. The cap the woman in front of her was wearing was partly hiding her red 

and swollen eyes. But Tiffany had seen in what state Jessica had been once she had arrived at the 

cafe, she knew that whatever had happened at the restaurant yesterday must have caused for her 

friend to look like this today.

The brown haired woman lowered her coffee cup and placed it down on the table. Her eyes landed on 

the newspaper that were lying beside her arm, she bit her lower lip upon seeing the title of the front 

page. She glanced at Jessica that still had her eyes fixed outside the window, seeing that Jessica 

seemed to be too deep in thought to take notice of things around her Tiffany turned the newspaper 

around to hide the front page. The title hurt her, but not as much it must hurt the woman that sat in front 

of her.

Tiffany turned to Jessica again; her hands cupped around her coffee cup. The warm cup was heating 

up her hands, it felt good in a sense. Her eyes landed on the untouched toast, juice and coffee in front 

of the other woman. The concerned expression she had had worsened and she glanced at the cap clad 

woman.

"Jessi, shouldn't you try to eat?" Tiffany asked. Jessica continued to stare outside the window without 

even give Tiffany some kind of reply. The brown haired woman bit her lower lip and glanced at the 

newspaper again before she averted her eyes back to Jessica. "Jessi."

Finally turned Jessica her head to face Tiffany. Tiffany smiled a small smile at her friend, but Jessica 

didn't return it. Instead the cap clad woman averted her gaze to the breakfast she was supposed to eat 

that was placed out in front of her. Tiffany continued to watch her with observing eyes.

Jessica lifted her hand and moved it towards the fork that was placed beside the plate with the french 

toast. Her hand stopped mid-air and her eyes moved to the glass of orange juice that stood in front of 

the plate. She moved her hand towards the glass instead  and grabbed it and lifted it to her lips to take 

small sips from it. A relieved sigh escaped Tiffany's lips and she sipped on her coffee while she 

continued to watch Jessica in front of her.

After drinking a few gulps of the orange juice Jessica placed down the glass back to the spot where she 

had taken it from. She looked up at Tiffany that still watched her, Tiffany smiled at her and looked at her 

with anticipating eyes, like she waited for Jessica to say something. Jessica leaned back in her chair 

and clasped her hands together on top of the table. Her eyes landed on the newspaper that was lying 

beside Tiffany's arm. Tiffany saw where Jessica was looking and she looked at Jessica with an 

apologetic look.

"Don't mind what the newspaper writes Jessi." Tiffany said and proceed to place the newspaper on the 

empty chair beside her. Jessica turned her head to stare outside the window again, a sigh left her lips.

"The newspaper writes the truth." Jessica said. Tiffany continued to look at Jessica with sympathe tic 

eyes, she glanced at the chair where she had placed the newspaper on before she turned to Jessica 

again. A sigh left her lips and she drank from her coffee.

"Maybe." Tiffany said and lowered her cup. A sigh left Jessica's lips and she turned to face T iffany. 

"What did Yuri say?" Jessica asked and averted her eyes to her hands on the table. Tiffany looked 

questioning at Jessica as she didn't quite understand what Jessica meant. "About that." Jessica said 

and nodded towards the chair where the newspaper had been placed.

"Oh." Tiffany said when she understood what Jessica meant. She glanced at the chair where the 

newspaper was lying, it was the same newspaper she had seen Yuri reading before she had went to 

meet up with Jessica. She remembered clearly what Yuri had said about the newspaper, and the 

disappointed look on her wife's face.

"Yuri was angry. She didn't know about it either, she thought that if Taeyeon had been going behind 

your back she would at least have told her about it. She felt kind of  stupid when she hadn't figured out 

earlier that Taeyeon had been doing that to you. All signs were there. We all believed in the love 

Taeyeon seemed to shower you with." Tiffany said with a sad tone. Her mind thought back to how 

disappointed Yuri had been over her best friend. And when Yuri had tried to call Taeyeon the latter had 

been avoiding her calls. Yuri's disappointment had continued to grow ever since they had left the 

restaurant yesterday. Tiffany hoped for her wife's sake that she could somehow ge t a hold of Taeyeon 

during the day, and maybe get some kind of explanation from the woman.

"Yuri shouldn't feel stupid." Jessica said. Tiffany nodded her head.

"I tried to tell her that." Tiffany said and looked down at the coffee cup in her hands.

"The stupid one is Taeyeon." Jessica said with a sad tone.

Tiffany looked up at the woman in front of her. The expression on Jessica's face was so sad that it 

almost made Tiffany want to cry. The brown haired woman nodded her head with a sympathetic 

expression on her face. She looked down at Jessica's hands on the table, and by instinct she reached 

out one of her hands and placed it over one of Jessica's and squeezed it.

"It will be okay Jessi. I'll always be there for you." Tiffany assured. Jessica nodded her head, even 

though her expression seemed to say something else. And even though Tiffany didn't want to think it, 

but she was wondering if Jessica really would be okay.

---The door with the name 'Kim Taeyeon' on opened, making the person inside the room look up at the 

person that just entered. Taeyeon frowned when she saw the woman with the long, brown hair enter. 

The woman that wore sunglasses sat down in the chair in front of Taeyeon's desk. Taeyeon leaned 

back in her chair and eyed the woman that looked like she just had woke up from the dead.

"What are you doing here?" Taeyeon asked with a slight coldness in her tone.

"Sssh. Speak lower." Krystal whispered. Taeyeon rolled her eyes and picked up a paper in front of her 

and began reading it.

"That's what you get for drinking. And I won't even bother to listen to you right now. You kind of deserve 

it." Taeyeon spoke in a higher tone. Krystal looked questioning at the older woman in front of her, even 

though Taeyeon probably wouldn't see her questioning look behind the paper Taeyeon was holding in 

front of her eyes and the sunglasses Krystal was wearing.

"What's with you? Did you wake up on the wrong side or something?" Krystal asked. Taeyeon sent a 

deadly glare towards the younger woman that made her lean further back in her chair. Whatever it was, 

Taeyeon was mad, and it was specifically at her she was mad at.

"Get today's newspaper and you might know what's wrong." Taeyeon said and returned to her work. 

Krystal continued to sit quietly in the chair and looked at Taeyeon while the older woman was working. 

Taeyeon was obviously not going to tell Krystal what was going on.

Silence filled between them, and when Taeyeon looked up at the woman with the sunglasses, it looked 

like Krystal had fallen asleep. Taeyeon shook her head and returned to her work. She wasn't going to 

bother about Krystal anymore, and she might not even be able to do that since the Jung family will 

probably forbid her to get near them. And that's all because she had tried to keep one of the family 

member's secret. Taeyeon was constantly mentally beating herself up for keeping the youngest Jung 

sister’s drinking problem a secret. Even though she had promised the younger woman she would, she 

should have figured out it wouldn't have turned out well.

The door opened abruptly to her office again making Taeyeon look up from her work again. Seeing an 

elderly woman that resembled her girlfriend enter her office she let out a groan, by the look on the 

elderly woman's face she knew where this was going. And Taeyeon had prepared herself all morning 

for what was to come since she had read the newspaper. With the newspaper’s front page, it wouldn't 

take long until all her and Jessica's friends had found out about what had happened between them.

"Taeyeon explain to me why-" Mrs. Jung stopped when she noticed that Taeyeon wasn't alone in her 

office. Mrs. Jung glanced at Taeyeon and then at the woman in the chair, realizing who it was her eyes 

widened.

"Krystal!" Mrs. Jung said shocked. The shout wok e the sleeping woman up and she groaned and 

looked up at the woman that just had spoken. Seeing that Krystal really had fallen asleep Taeyeon 

rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair with crossed arms and waited for Mrs. Jung to go on.

"What in the world are you doing here? And where have you been for the last two days? You've never 

returned home." Mrs. Jung began bombarding Krystal with questions.

"Speak lower, mom. Or my head will explode. And take one question at the time. My head can't 

proceed that much." Krystal said. Mrs. Jung cocked a brow at her daughter and looked at Taeyeon that 

shrugged her shoulders. The elderly woman turned back to Krystal with a hand on her hip.

"You never change, huh." Mrs. Jung said and turned to Taeyeon. Her eyes sudd enly narrowed. 

"Speaking of last night, explain this to me." Mrs. Jung demanded and placed a newspaper on 

Taeyeon's desk. Taeyeon took a small glance at the newspaper before she looked up at the elderly 

woman. Krystal removed her sunglasses to take a better look on the newspaper, her eyes widened 

when she saw the title and the picture on the front page. She gulped and looked guiltily at Taeyeon.

"It's a misunderstanding." Taeyeon said honestly. Mrs. Jung's eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms 

over her chest while she walked closer to her desk.

"Don't lie to me Taeyeon. Jessica called yesterday and asked me what client you met in the middle of 

the night. But I know we don't meet up with clients in the middle of the night, so care to tell me about 

your whereabouts if the newspaper is lying?" Mrs. Jung said with a serious face. Taeyeon glanced at 

the younger woman that sat in the chair on the other side of the desk. Krystal had her eyes focused 

elsewhere, but guilt was still written all over her face.

"I can't tell you." Taeyeon said.

A frown appeared on the elderly woman's lips and she placed both her hands on Taeyeon's desk and 

leaned closer to the blonde haired woman.

"Then I can't help but think the newspaper is telling the truth Taeyeon, because if  you can't tell me the 

truth of where you've been I can't assume anything else than what the newspaper is telling me. And I'm 

afraid I've to-"

"Oh, stop jumping to conclusions mom." Krystal exclaimed. Mrs. Jung and Taeyeon turned to the 

youngest person in the room that finally had spoke up.  

"Taeyeon have been with me. Two days ago I went to this party, I had one more drink than I should and 

I called Taeyeon to pick me up, but I told her to not tell unnie and not bring me home so she brought me 

to this hotel, and because I was afraid to be alone I asked her to stay the night with me. And yesterday 

Taeyeon picked me up and brought me to Sulli's place, but I left Sulli's place and called Taeyeon to pick 

me up, but she couldn't because she was with unnie, or something like that. Taeyeon haven't cheated 

on unnie, she have been taking care of me behind unnie's back." Krystal said. After she had explained 

everything she rubbed her pounding head.

Mrs. Jung looked wide eyed from her daughter and to the woman that she just had accused for 

cheating on her oldest daughter. Taeyeon nodded her head, agreeing with what Krystal had said.

"There you have my explanation. Therefore is the newspaper lying." Taeyeon said. "And Krystal might 

not have realized it, but she has a drinking problem." Taeyeon added.

Mrs. Jung placed one hand over her forehead and looked back and forth between her daughter and her 

oldest daughter's girlfriend. She was feeling slightly guilty for believing the newspaper, but she wasn't 

the only one that believed the newspaper. Jessica thought Taeyeon had been cheating on her, 

everyone that read the newspaper probably thought so too. Mrs. Jung lowered the hand from her 

forehead and looked at the two women in the room.

"You have to explain this to Jessica. This is clearly a misunderstanding that needs to get explained." 

Mrs. Jung said. "We're all going to Jessica now."

"But I'm hungover." Krystal groaned.

"You brought that upon yourself. But I won't let you ruin your sister's relationship, now go." M rs. Jung 

ordered her daughter. The youngest woman put on her sunglasses and stood up from her chair and 

made her way towards the door. Mrs. Jung glanced at Taeyeon and motioned for the woman to come 

with her, and without protest Taeyeon followed the elderly woman out of the office.

The three women went down to the parking lot and made their way to Taeyeon's black BMW M Boss. 

Mrs. Jung walked between her daughter and Taeyeon, when Krystal turned to take a seat in the back 

seat of the car Mrs. Jung was fast with slapping the back of Krystal's head, making the younger woman 

let out a yelp.

"Don't you ever make Taeyeon keep secrets from your sister again." Mrs. Jung threatened and made 

her way to the passenger seat. Krystal rubbed the back of her head and took  a seat in the back seat 

with a pout on her lips. Taeyeon started the car and began driving towards her girlfriend's company.

---An elderly man burst through the door to the office. One of the occupants of the room looked up at him, 

not the person he was looking for however. The man went to the desk where the woman that wasn't 

looking at him was seated. He stopped in front of the desk and held out a newspaper. Only now looked 

Jessica up at the man that was her very own father.

"Explain to me what this is." He said through gritted teeth. The hand that wasn't holding the newspaper 

was pointing at the first page of the newspaper. Jessica rolled her eyes at the sight and averted her 

gaze to the pile of papers in front of her.

"I don't feel like seeing that thing in my office. Especially not right in front of my face when I'm working." 

Jessica said coldly. Mr. Jung gritted his teeth.

"I don't needed to hear what you think of it, I want to hear an explanation!" The man demanded. Jessica 

sighed and placed down her pen and looked up at her father.

"For once the newspaper wrote something that isn't a lie. What happened at the restaurant is true." 

Jessica said calmly. Mr. Jung slammed the newspaper down on Jessica's desk, startling Tiffany that sat 

further away. Jessica however didn't flinch one bit.

"You couldn't have discussed your relationship problems in a more private place instead of shouting it 

out in the public?!"

"It just happened that way." Jessica said still as calmly as before.

"You don't have any right to do this to your family. I've supported your relationship since ten years ago, 

and now this happens. How am I going to explain this to the media?" Mr. Jung asked furious. "I told you 

that girl was a good-for-nothing! From the start I said you shouldn't date her. And here's my proof, who 

knows for how long she has cheated on you?"

Jessica averted her gaze elsewhere. She was gritting her teeth and her right hand had grabbed a hold 

of her pen that she was gripping tightly until her knuckles turned white. She looked up at her father 

again, tears brimming in her eyes.

"You didn't tell me to not date her because she could hurt me, you told me to not date her because she 

was a girl." Jessica said. Mr. Jung opened his mouth but closed it again. "And you can't lie about it, 

because you told me that ten years ago, and not only me, Mr. Hwang, mom, Taeyeon, Krystal and 

everyone else too." Jessica let out a sigh and looked off to the side.

"I knew she would hurt you." Mr. Jung said and looked to the side. Jessi ca shot a glare towards her 

father.

"A few weeks ago you told us to get married! That is only a proof that you trusted her! So don't tell me 

you've known that she would hurt me. Cause no one thought this would happen, everyone thought she 

loved me. Everyone! Even the media thought so. And now this!" Jessica grabbed the newspaper and 

held it up towards her father. The title glared at the elderly man.

'Taeyeon cheating on Jessica.'

The elderly man looked at the newspaper with sympathetic eyes. Jessica dropped the newspaper down 

on her desk, the front page landed upwards. Under the title was a ripped picture of Taeyeon and 

Jessica. The elderly man bent his head downwards towards the newspaper on his daughter's desk. He 

came here to scold his daughter about making her relationship problems public, but seeing what broken 

state she was in he couldn't do it. He wanted to get his hands on someone else at the moment.

The door to the office door burst open and three women came in, Mrs. Jung was the one leading the

two other women that were Krystal and Taeyeon. The newly arrived women stopped in their tracks 

when they saw Mr. Jung standing in front of Jessica's desk and Jessica standing up with tear brimmed 

eyes. The three pair of eyes landed on the newspaper on Jessica's desk.

"It's a mis-" Mrs. Jung began speaking but Mr. Jung acted faster.

The elderly man turned on his heels and walked up towards the blonde woman that had entered. His 

hand grabbed a hold of Taeyeon's collar and dragged the woman closer towards him only to land a 

punch on Taeyeon's chin. Taeyeon flew backwards and landed on the floor with blood trickling down 

from her lower lip.

"Dad!"

"Taeyeon!"

Mrs. Jung went to stand between her husband and Taeyeon while Krystal went to Taeyeon's side. Even 

Jessica had went from her desk to check on Taeyeon but had stopped by her father's side. Tiffany had 

stood up from her seat, confused of what to do with the drama that had broken out in the office.

"How dare you cheat on my daughter? I trusted you, I gave you an education! I even asked you to 

marry her only to have you cheat on her!" Mr. Jung was furious and tried to get closer to Taeyeon but 

Mrs. Jung was holding him back. Taeyeon was half sitting up while she wiped her lip that now had a cut 

from the punch.

"It's a misunderstanding!" Mrs. Jung shouted and hoped it could calm down her husband. But he was 

too focused on getting his hands on the woman that ha d hurt his daughter. The only one that seemed to 

hear what the elderly woman had said was Jessica that immediately turned to her mother.

"A misunderstanding?" Jessica asked.

"Yes." Mrs. Jung said and nodded her head. She was getting tired from holding ba ck the man. "Calm 

your father down and listen to Taeyeon's explanation!" Mrs. Jung demanded.

"Dad! Dad calm down!" Jessica took a hold of one of her father's arm and tried to pull him back, in hope 

of getting him away from Taeyeon. Feeling that she nor her mother would be able to calm her father 

down Jessica looked towards Tiffany.

"Tiffany call security." Jessica said. She didn't want to put her father in this position but if it perhaps 

could save her relationship she wasn't someone that would stop it. T iffany reacted immediately and 

called the security that was in the office in no seconds.

Two men that wore black suits came into the office. Jessica and her mother backed away from Mr. 

Jung that instead got grabbed by the two stronger men. Jessica told them to put her father down on one 

of the chairs in the room, which they did and held him to prevent him from getting up. Now when the 

raging man was placed in a further distance from Taeyeon, and was also held back Jessica finally 

looked towards the woman with the cut and swollen lip.

"It was all a misunderstanding?" Jessica asked the blonde woman. She had her arms crossed over her 

chest.

"Yes, I told you the truth." Taeyeon said.

"She was with me the whole time, I asked her to be with me and told her to  not say anything to you." 

Krystal explained.

A slap was heard in the room. Mrs. Jung, Taeyeon and Tiffany all flinched when they saw the older 

sister had landed a slap on her younger sister's cheek. Jessica's eyes were burning with anger when 

she looked at the younger woman that now had cupped her stinging cheek.

"S-she was drunk, she didn't want you to-" Another slap was heard that shut up Taeyeon that had 

wanted to explain why Krystal had done what she had. Taeyeon cupped her stinging cheek and looked 

at Jessica with sad eyes. Jessica looked back at the blonde woman with the same sad eyes. The 

feeling of Taeyeon's cheek still lingered in her hand after the slap.

"Your sister has a drinking problem. I took care of her, I didn't tell you about it because  she was afraid 

you'd freak out, and I didn't want to worry you because I know how much you care and love your sister." 

Taeyeon explained with a sad tone. "And I know I did wrong from keeping it a secret from you, but I 

promised Krystal that I wouldn't tell anyone. But if I had known it would go this far I'd have told you right 

away." Jessica lowered the hand she had raised up to land another slap on Taeyeon's cheek. Taeyeon 

gulped, and Jessica was taken aback when she saw the sight in front of her. Tears streamed down 

Taeyeon's cheeks.

"I told you I'd never hurt you. And cheating on you have never crossed my mind. It hurts me that you 

even could think of that." Taeyeon lowered the hand from her cheek. She sighed and averted her gaze 

to the floor. "I guess your mom and sister can explain the rest to you, Krystal knows everything and 

we've already told your mom." Taeyeon said and looked up at Jessica. Taeyeon let out another sigh 

and glanced at Mrs. Jung that stood beside them and watched. The elderly woman's  eyes were wide 

and she looked like she was ready to jump in between the two of them if it would get too violent.

"I'm going back to work." Taeyeon mumbled and turned on her heels.

"Tae-" Jessica reached out her hand towards the leaving woman but stopped.  She bit her lower lip and 

closed her hand into a fist and looked away from Taeyeon's leaving back. She was feeling guilty, guilty 

because she had misjudged Taeyeon like that and not trusting her. When the door closed to the office 

Jessica looked up at it, she sent a glare towards her sister that looked guiltily down on the floor.

"Stop drinking Krys, it's not good for you or the people around you. And I have a job for you, it's in the 

blue folder on my desk." Jessica said and made her way towards the door. "I'm taking the rest of the 

day off, Tiff. If someone tries to contact me tell them to leave a messages." Jessica told her brown 

haired partner and best friend before she turned the doorknob and left the office where her family and 

best friend remained.

---For some reason Jessica had a feeling that Taeyeon wouldn't go back to work. She didn't know why, 

but she had a feeling Taeyeon would go to this place instead. Her feeling was right when she saw the 

black BMW parked outside the cemetery. Jessica parked her car beside it and got out of it. She slowly 

made her way into the cemetery, her head turned the way she knew Taeyeon's parents were resting, 

and like her feeling had told her, she saw the back of the blonde woman standing in front of the two 

graves.

Jessica slowly started to make her way towards where Taeyeon was standing. When she reached the 

woman she stopped right beside her and looked at the two tombstones in front of her. One with 

Taeyeon's father's name and one with Taeyeon's mother's name. Jessica glanced at the woman that 

was staring blankly at the two tombstones in front of her.

"How did you know I was here?" Taeyeon asked. Jessica shrugged her shoulders and turned to the two 

tombstones.

"I had a feeling you'd be here." Jessica replied.

Silence filled between them. The sound from the wind rustling the leaves on the trees around them was 

heard. Jessica wrapped her arms around her body, she had left her jacket in her office. The two women 

continued to stand in front of the tombstones of Taeyeon's parents in silence.

"How could we hurt each other like that?" Taeyeon finally broke the silence. Jessica shrugged her 

shoulders and rubbed her arms with her hands.

"That's things that can happen in a relationship." Jessica said. Taeyeon furrowed he r eyebrows.

"Yes, but we've had arguments but it have never gone to this extent, and we've been together for ten 

years." Taeyeon said and turned her head to Jessica. Jessica nodded her head and turned to Taeyeon, 

her eyes locked with the blonde woman's.

"I know, but arguments are natural in relationships. Even Yuri and Tiffany fights sometimes. Yuri have 

been sleeping on the couch many times when they have had fights. So it's just natural." Jessica said. 

Taeyeon nodded her head.

"Yeah, I know. But this wasn't an argument, this was a misunderstanding that came between us." 

Taeyeon said and averted her gaze to the tombstones. Jessica bit her lower lip and looked down at the 

ground. 

"You know, relationships don't end because of one misunderstanding, if the  people in the relationship 

really wants to be together they try to see what went wrong, and when they've done that they try to work 

on it to prevent for more misunderstandings to happen." Jessica said. Taeyeon nodded her head, she 

took a deep intake of air and let out a long sigh and turned to Jessica.

"Yeah, but do you really want to be with me?" Taeyeon asked. Jessica's eyes widened in shock by the 

absurd question, the question almost hurt her. A small smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips and she 

turned away from Jessica. "I was just kidding. I know you want to be with me, and I hope you know that 

I do too." Taeyeon glanced at Jessica. The chestnut haired woman nodded her head.

"Yeah, I know." Jessica said. Taeyeon nodded her head and turned to fully face Jessica.

"Wanna go for a walk and try to figure out what went wrong between us?" Taeyeon asked. A smile 

appeared on Jessica's lips and she nodded her head. Taeyeon held out one arm towards Jessica and 

the chestnut haired woman hooked her arm with Taeyeon's  and they began walking through the 

cemetery.

---Two women was seated at the couch in the apartment. The woman with the chestnut colored hair was 

sitting up while the blonde woman was lying down with her head resting on the other woman's lap. The 

first woman's fingers were tangled up in the blonde's woman's hair as t hey both were watching the 

movie that was showing on the large LED TV that hung on the wall in front of the couch.

Jessica turned her head from the TV and bent it down to look at Taeyeon's face. The reflection of the 

TV was showing in the blonde woman's brown orbs. A small smile appeared on Jessica's lips and she 

looked down at Taeyeon's chin and lips. The lower lip was still a bit swollen with a small cut on the side 

and the area around it was a bit blue, red. With gentle fingers Jessica traced the bruised area. The 

touch made Taeyeon looked up at the woman whose legs she was using as a pillow.

"What is it?" Taeyeon asked in a gentle tone. Jessica let out a sigh and let her thumb linger on the 

bruise.

"Did it hurt?" Jessica finally asked. A small smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips.

"Not as much as it did when I broke my fingers." Taeyeon said with a grin. Jessica furrowed her 

eyebrows and glanced at Taeyeon's hand which the woman had broken her fingers on ten years ago.

"You're always getting hurt because of me." Jessica said in a sad tone. Taeyeon lifted one of her hands 

and grabbed the hand that were caressing her cheek.

"It's kinda worth it if I get to be with you." Taeyeon said with a reassuring smile. A small smile appeared 

on her lips and she let out a sigh.

"But what would I do if you get so badly hurt that you won't be here with me anymore?" Jessica asked.

The smile on Taeyeon's smile disappeared. The blonde woman glanced at the hand she was holding, 

she squeezed it lightly and looked up at Jessica again. A smile appeared on her lips one again.

"But I'll always be with you." Taeyeon said with a smile. A sad laugh escaped Jessica's lips and she 

removed her hand from Taeyeon's hair and hugged the woman.

"Idiot. I feel even more stupid now for not trusting you." Jessica mumbled into Taeyeon's hair.

"Don't feel stupid. We talked about that already, and we've forgiven each other already." Taeyeon said 

and patted Jessica's arm. 

"I don't think I deserved to be forgiven."

A frown appeared on Taeyeon's lips. She sat up which made Jessica break the hug and turned to the 

chestnut haired woman. Jessica looked at Taeyeon with confused eyes while Taeyeon's frown still 

remained on her lips. The blonde woman let out a sigh and dragged Jessica by her arm to  get her 

closer for a hug. With her arms around Jessica Taeyeon nuzzled into the crock of Jessica's neck and let 

out a sigh.

"You're kind of stupid actually. No, you're more of an idiot for thinking like that. The one that decides if 

you deserve to be forgiven or not is me because it was up to me to forgive you. And I'm gonna add 

something else to what you need to work on, except the trust issue we talked about." Taeyeon 

whispered into Jessica's ear. The chestnut haired woman nodded her head.

"You'll have to listen to what I'm saying. Not everything of course, but things like these for example. It 

kind of goes with the trust thing too." Taeyeon said.

"Okay, I'll try to." Jessica said. Taeyeon smiled and kissed Jessica's shoulder.

"Good, and I'll not keep secrets." Taeyeon said. Jessica smiled and hugged the blonde woman tighter.

"Good." Jessica said and rested her head against Taeyeon's shoulder.

The rest of the evening the couple watched TV in the arms of the person they love the most.

TaengSic part 5

Four women were sitting around a table in the Jung family's house. Two of them were talking while the 

third was listening, giving nods here and there. The fourth woman was however too immersed in what 

she was doing on her laptop to take notice of what the other three women were talking about. Even 

though this idea had been hers from the start she didn't take part in the talking as she had found 

something else that she thought was more of her interest.

"You'll have to work six days a week for a start,  and you might even need to take some of your work 

home to work with, or work over time. They usually put you through that to see what you go for." Tiffany 

said and with her pen she pointed at the documents that were spread out in front of Krystal that sat 

beside her. The younger woman nodded her head.

"But will she have time to go to rehab if she works that much?" Mrs. Jung asked and glanced at the 

document. Krystal and Mrs. Jung looked at Tiffany that smiled.

"Oh, but I think Jessi talked about that to t he one that will be in charge of Krystal." Tiffany said and 

pointed at the woman that sat with the laptop. The three of them looked at her but Jessica was too 

immersed in what she was doing on her laptop that she didn't take notice of them.

"Jessi." Tiffany called out in hope of getting the chestnut haired woman's attention.

"Hmm?" Jessica said without taking her eyes off the screen.

"Did you talk about the rehab with Krystal's boss?" Mrs. Jung asked.

"Yes, I did." Jessica said and continued to look at the screen. The three women waited for her to say 

something more but Jessica continued to sit in silence while she was focused on the things on her 

laptop.

"Jessica!" Mrs. Jung raised her tone as she called for her oldest daughter. Only now turned  Jessica 

away from the screen to look at the three women.

"What?" Jessica asked and looked back and forth between her mother, sister and best friend that were 

all staring at her. Mrs. Jung let out a sigh and shook her head, Krystal did the same action but  smiled 

while she shook her head and Tiffany just smiled.

"Can you please be here with us and save whatever you are doing for later?" Mrs. Jung requested and 

pointed at the laptop. Jessica glanced down at the thing in her lap before she nodded and closed t he 

laptop and gave the three women her undivided attention.

"Okay, what were you saying?" Jessica asked after she had put away her laptop.

"Your mom was wondering if Krystal would have time for her rehab if she worked the hours she does, 

but if I remember correctly you talked to Heechul-oppa about that." Tiffany said. Jessica only nodded 

her head.

"Yes, I did talk to Heechul-oppa about that, and he said that it's a health thing and it goes before work 

so if Krystal needs to she can go to rehab during work hours. He will cover up for her." Jessica said.

"That's great." Mrs. Jung said and turned to the youngest woman by the table. Krystal nodded her head 

in agreement.

"That's about it. You start working on Monday morning. If there is any questions you ca n either call me, 

Tiffany or Heechul. His numbers is written here." Jessica said and pointed at the sheet of paper that 

were in front of her sister. Krystal nodded her head.

"Thank you." Krystal said and looked up at her older sister.

"No problem. If doing this could help you live a better life I would do it over a hundred times. Just don't 

screw this up, Krys. I promised Heechul you could help him out in this project, and I know you have the 

right knowledge for this. You just have to try." Jessica said with a serious tone.

"I'll do my best." Krystal promised. A smile appeared on Jessica's lips and she looked at her mother that 

smiled proudly at her. The chestnut haired woman turned to her best friend and partner that sat to her 

right; Tiffany was smiling at her and she smiled back at her.

"Good, but I'm afraid me and Tiffany have to get back to work now." Jessica said when she had 

checked the time on her watch. Tiffany nodded in agreement.

"Yes, of course. But thank you for helping out." Mrs. Jung said.  The four women stood up from their 

seats and they all started to make their way to the hall.

"It's nothing mom, we all need to help and support Krystal now, right?" Jessica said and turned to her 

younger sister that just nodded her head. "Anyway, I have to go now. Bye." Jessica gave a hug to her 

mother and sister before she left for the door. Tiffany hugged her best friend's mother and sister too 

before she followed Jessica out the door.

The two women made their way to the white BMW M Boss that were parked outside the house. Jessica 

put her laptop bag in the backseat before she took a seat in the driver seat, Tiffany went to the 

passenger seat and when they both were buckled up, Jessica started the engine and headed towards 

their company.

"May I ask what was so interesting on your laptop earlier?" Tiffany asked and glanced at the chestnut 

haired woman in the driver seat. Jessica shrugged her shoulders.

"Jewelry." Jessica replied. Tiffany raised an eyebrow.

"Jewelry? Seriously?" Tiffany asked. Jessica nodded her head.

"I'm in a need of new earrings for the opening tomorrow." Jessica said and smiled.

"For some reason I'm not believing you." Tiffany said and looked suspicious at Jessica. A frown 

appeared on Jessica's face and she turned to Tiffany when she had stopped at a red light.

"But it's true. I've already used all my earrings for the all openings we have attended." Jessica said. 

Tiffany chuckled and shook her head.

"And you think your earrings is the first thing people will take notice of?" Tiffa ny asked. Jessica furrowed 

her eyebrows.

"Maybe not the economy writers, but the fashion writers will probably look at our attires." Jessica said 

with a grin. Tiffany shook her head. "Just look at last time, your attire became a hot topic in the fashion 

magazines."

"That's true." Tiffany said when she thought back to it. Jessica smiled triumphantly. "God, you're kind of 

pressuring me now, Jessi." Tiffany said. The chestnut haired woman only chuckled.

"Why? You didn't exactly spend hours to prepare your self for that opening, you shouldn't feel pressured 

now either. Be yourself and it will go well. Just like last time." Jessica said with a smile. Tiffany nodded 

her head to what her best friend was saying. A relieved smile graced her lips and she turned to the 

chestnut haired woman that were focusing on the road. 

"Yeah, it'll be fine." Tiffany said more relieved this time.

---The black haired woman stared at the brochure from a jewelry shop. She however could only see the 

backside and the front side of it because she wasn't the one that was looking through it. She lifted the 

glass of water she was holding in her hand to her mouth and sipped on it, her left brow arched and she 

stared at the brochure with a questioning look. She hoped the person that was holding it would soon be 

explaining why she was looking after jewelry at this moment.

"Are you looking for anything specific?" Yuri finally asked and placed her glass of water beside her plate 

of Caesar Salad. Taeyeon finally lowered the brochure she had been looking through and looked at 

Yuri.

"A necklace for Sica." Taeyeon said and placed the brochure to the side. She picked up her fork and 

knife and began eating on her lunch, but her eyes still glanced at the brochure that was lying beside 

her.

"A necklace?" Yuri asked and eyed Taeyeon that was eating her chicken filet. The blonde woman 

nodded her head as she was chewing on her food. "Doesn't she already have like a dozen of 

necklaces?"

"Yeah, but she can need a new one." Taeyeon said and shrugged he r shoulders. Yuri raised an 

eyebrow, but she didn't question further about the necklace thing.

"So what are you doing on Monday next week?" Yuri instead asked. Taeyeon pondered a bit on the 

question.

"Oh, it's my free Monday." Taeyeon remembered. A grin  appeared on Yuri's lips.

"Good, remember Sica wanted to babysit Kyungkyu? I was thinking you two could do that on Monday 

while me and Fany go out to spend some time together." Yuri said. Taeyeon nodded her head.

"I'm okay with it, I'll just talk to Sica about it." Taeyeon said and ate another bite of her chicken. Yuri 

smiled satisfied.

"Good." Yuri said and leaned back in her chair. Taeyeon ate another bite of her chicken and took up the 

brochure right after. Yuri shook her head and let out a sigh. She g uessed the rest of the lunch Taeyeon 

would be busy looking at necklaces while she tried to start up a conversation.

---After having spent a long day at court Taeyeon finally arrived home. She had a smile on her lips when 

she entered the apartment she shared with Jessica. Seeing her girlfriend seated on the couch with a 

laptop in her lap made Taeyeon smile and she dropped her bag on the floor beside the couch and took 

a seat beside Jessica and leaned her head against the chestnut haired woman's shoulder.

"Hello." Taeyeon said and closed her eyes.

"Welcome home." Jessica said and kissed the crown of Taeyeon's head before she returned to what 

she was doing on her laptop. Taeyeon opened her eyes and took a look on the laptop. A word 

document was open on the screen.

"What are you doing?" Taeyeon asked and lifted her head off of Jessica's shoulder.

"Memorizing my speech for the opening I'm attending tomorrow." Jessica said with her eyes focused on 

the screen. When Taeyeon glanced at the woman she noticed the  light from the screen was reflecting 

in the glass of the eyeglasses Jessica was wearing.

"There's an opening tomorrow?" Taeyeon asked and got up from her seat to change out of her work 

clothes.

"Yes. A friend of me and Tiffany is opening this new company, we'll have a cooperation with them. 

Krystal will also start working there. She will be involved in one of their first projects." Jessica said 

without tearing away her eyes from the screen.

"I see. That's nice. When does the opening start?" Taeyeon ask ed and entered their bedroom.

"I'll have to be there at 10am to do an interview with the reporters before the opening starts at 11.30." 

Jessica said. Taeyeon peeked her head out of the bedroom when she heard what Jessica just had 

said.

"Reporters will be there?" Taeyeon asked while she was undressing by the door.

"Yes, the TV will be there too and film the whole opening."

Taeyeon stopped in her action of undressing when an idea had popped up in her head. A smile 

appeared on her lips and she went back into the bedroom again to change out of her work clothes into 

another set of clothes. When she came back out of the bedroom she was wearing a pair of jeans and a 

sweatshirt.

"I wish you all the luck on the opening tomorrow then." Taeyeon said and kissed Je ssica's cheek when 

she went past the couch.

"Thank you." Jessica said. Taeyeon smiled and went to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and 

pretended to look at the items they had inside. As it always was in their home, the refrigerator was filled 

with food.

"You're free this weekend right?" Taeyeon asked and closed the refrigerator and looked at Jessica's 

schedule that was hanging on the refrigerator door.

"Yes." Jessica said.

"You're free on Monday too?"

"Yes, that's our free Monday, isn't it?" Jessica asked from the living room. A smile plastered itself 

across Taeyeon's lips and she nodded her head satisfied.

"Good, on Monday we're babysitting Kyungkyu. Yuri asked me." Taeyeon said and made her way to the 

hall.

"Okay." Was Jessica's answer. Taeyeon knew the woman would have sounded more excited about the 

babysitting if she wasn't concentrating on the speech.

"I'm going out to buy a few things. I'll be back soon." Taeyeon said when she had put on her shoes and 

taken her car keys.

"Okay." Was the answer she got from Jessica and with that Taeyeon excited the apartment.

---The brown haired woman that were sitting on a chair in the room with all toys and other children things 

looked up from her laptop at the black haired boy that wa s sitting on the floor and playing with his Lego. 

The woman smiled at the boy that was building some kind of tower, before she went back to what she 

was doing on her laptop. A sigh left her lips and she rested her elbow on the armrest while her eyes 

were focused on the screen.

A sound of a car outside the house brought both the woman's and the little boy's attention towards the 

window. The boy was on his feet faster than a second when the car had stopped outside the house. He 

ran towards the window where he climbed up on the couch that were in front of it.

"Yuri-omma." Kyungkyu said when he had climbed up on the couch. Tiffany furrowed her eyebrows and 

checked the time on her laptop. Her wife wouldn't be home until another hour.

"Aunt Taeyeonnie!" Kyungkyu said with an even more happy voice and jumped down from the couch. 

Tiffany blinked surprised when she watched Kyungkyu run out from the playroom towards the hall.

Tiffany slowly followed her son to the door, when she had arrived at the door she saw her son trying to 

open the door, but because of his shortness he didn't quite reach the doorknob. Tiffany patted the boy's 

head and opened the door in time for Taeyeon to arrive by the door. The blonde woman smiled when 

the door opened.

"Aunt Taeyeonnie!" Kyungkyu said and ran up to the woman that easily lifted him up and hugged him. 

With Kyungkyu in her arms Taeyeon entered the house.

"How are you?" Taeyeon greeted Tiffany and gave the brown haired woman a hug. Quite surprised to 

see Taeyeon here Tiffany greeted the woman as well. She looked towards the door like she expected 

someone else to come too.

"You're here alone?" Tiffany asked.

"Yes." Taeyeon said and placed Kyungkyu down on the floor. The little boy clutched himself on on the 

woman's leg. Taeyeon smiled at the little boy and patted his head. "Isn't Yuri home?" Taeyeon said 

while she and Tiffany walked to the living room. Taeyeon walked with slight difficulty as Kyungkyu was 

still holding her leg.

"No, she won't be home until an hour." Tiffany said and took a seat on one of the armchairs in the living 

room. Taeyeon took a seat on the couch and Kyungkyu took a seat beside the blonde woman that was 

one of her godmothers.

"I see, well it doesn't matter. I came here to talk to you about something." Tae yeon said with a smile. 

Tiffany looked rather surprised by what Taeyeon said.

"With me?" Tiffany asked surprised and pointed at herself.

"Yes, it's okay, right? I didn't interrupt you in anything?" Taeyeon asked and looked around the living 

room like she would find something that she could had interrupted Tiffany in there.

"No, it's fine. I was just memorizing my speech for tomorrow." Tiffany said and leaned back in the 

armchair.

"Oh." Taeyeon said; her mouth forming an 'o' shape.

"But it's fine, Taeyeon. I needed a break from that anyway. What was it that you wanted to talk about?" 

Tiffany reassured the woman. Taeyeon smiled and looked at the boy that had gotten one of his toys 

and was now using her leg as something he could play on.

"The opening tomorrow, how does the schedule look for that?" Taeyeon asked. Tiffany's eyes widened 

and her eyebrows slightly raised by the mentioning of the opening.

"Let's see, the founder of the company will talk, then his partner will give a speech, then it's Jessica's

turn and after Jessica it's me. And then some of the sponsors will talk too and -"

"Okay, I think I know the important thing now. But will Jessica do anything else during that opening than 

giving a speech?" Taeyeon asked.

"She will do some interviews with me and Heechul-oppa." Tiffany said.

"But that is in the morning, right?"

"Yes, after the opening the media usually take pictures of the people that had attended the opening." 

Tiffany said. Taeyeon nodded her head.

"Right, but it will be fine if Jessica wasn't in those pictures, right?" Taeyeon asked.

"Yes, I suppose it will be fine." Tiffany said a bit skeptical. A smile plastered itself across Taeyeon's lips 

and she leaned back in the couch satisfied. She glanced at the boy beside her while Tiffany still 

observed her.

"What were you thinking?" Tiffany asked and crossed her arms.

"I'm planning a surprise for Jessica, but I can't give you the details. But you need to be aware that you 

might need to cover up for Jessica in some parts of the opening tomorrow." Taeyeon told the brown 

haired woman. Tiffany raised an eyebrow. "And you need to make sure that what's happening on stage 

won't get interrupted by bodyguards." Taeyeon said a bit carefully. Tiffany's eyes widened in shock.

"What are you planning to do?" Tiffany asked when the mention of bodyguards was brought up.

"It's harmless, no one will get hurt. I promise. Some might suffer from a shock though, but that's why I 

need you to cover it up." Taeyeon said with a grin. Tiffany looked even more doubtful now.

"Whatever you are planning I hope it's good." Tiffany said. Taeyeon smiled wider.

"The start of it won't look that good but the end will definitely look good." Taeyeon assured.

---After Taeyeon had spent some time talking to other things than the opening Taeyeon had thought she 

should let Tiffany continue memorizing her speech while she went home. She had put on her 

headphones when she had entered the car and now her phone was dialing a number. She was 

focusing on the road while she waited for the person to pick up their phone.

"Hello?" A familiar female voice said. Taeyeon smiled upon hearing it.

"Mom." Taeyeon said.

"Omo, Taeyeon. Why are you calling?" Jessica's mother said on the other line.

"Hold on, I might need to call you boss because it's work related." Taeyeon jokingly said. The woman 

on the other line chuckled.

"Mom is fine. At least if it's not in front of the other employees. So what is it? Want a higher salary?" 

Mrs. Jung joked. The joke made Taeyeon chuckle.

"No, it's not that. How does my schedule look for tomorrow and Tuesday?"

"Tomorrow you have a meeting with Mrs. Choi in the morning, afterwards you're supposed to meet Ms. 

Park, and you have a court meeting at three." Mrs. Jung said. Taeyeon bit her lower lip when she heard 

her own schedule. "On Tuesday you'll have a meeting with Mr. Kim and later on a meeting with Mr. 

Kang. Why?"

Taeyeon let out a sigh. "Is there any possibility to clear my whole schedule for tomorrow and maybe 

postpone everything to Tuesday?" Taeyeon asked carefully.

"Everything?!" Mrs. Jung shouted on the other line. Taeyeon made a grimace as the woman's voice 

almost damaged her hearing. "Why?" Mrs. Jung asked in a calmer tone. Taeyeon sighed again.

"You see, I want to make a surprise for Jessic a. After everything that happened between us." Taeyeon 

said with a small smile.

"Oh, Jessica it is." Mrs. Jung said. Taeyeon could almost feel the woman smile on the other line. "I'll 

see what I can do, but don't complain to me when you'll have to work your ass off at Tuesday, alright?" 

Mrs.Jung said. A wide smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips.

"I won't. I promise." Taeyeon promised. The woman on the line chuckled.

"Good. The surprise you're doing better be really good!" Taeyeon chuckled by the woman's com ment.

"I can assure you it will be good." Taeyeon said with a grin.

"If it's you I have no doubts. But I have to go now, I have a schedule to clear. Say hello to Jessica from 

me, will you?"

"Yes, I'll. Good bye."

"Bye."

When the woman had hung up her phone Taeyeon had a wide smile on her face for the rest of the ride 

home.

---When Taeyeon arrived at hers and Jessica's apartment again Jessica had left the laptop in the living 

room but she was nowhere to be seen. Taeyeon looked confused at the empt y living room and the 

empty kitchen that were adjacent to the room. She started making her way to the bedroom which the 

door was closed to. Just when she was about to grab the doorknob to the room the door opened and 

she stood face to face with Jessica that looked rather surprised by her presence.

"Where have you been?" Jessica asked the blonde woman that smiled at her.

"I've been at Yuri and Tiffany's place." Taeyeon said with a shrug. The couple had started to make their 

way to the kitchen.

"I tried to call you but you were on your phone with someone else." Jessica said with furrowed 

eyebrows. Taeyeon smiled again and wrapped one arm around Jessica's waist and kissed the slightly 

taller woman on the cheek.

"I was on the phone with your mom." Taeyeon said and released Jessica from her one armed embrace. 

Her eyes landed on the pizza carton that was lying on the kitchen table. "You bought pizza?" Taeyeon 

asked surprised and lifted on the lid of the carton; the pizza was untouched.

"I was getting hungry and I didn't know when you'd be home." Jessica said with a pout. Taeyeon smiled 

and turned to Jessica again.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have left you without any food. You could have starved." Taeyeon said with a faked 

guiltily expression. Jessica slapped her shoulder slightly and made her way to one of the chairs by the 

table and took a seat.

"What if I starved?" Jessica asked and took a slice from the pizza and began eating. Taeyeon also had 

taken a seat by the table by now and was looking at the chestnut haired  woman that was eating. "Eat, 

it's for you too." Jessica motioned for the blonde woman to eat.

"No, you can starve if I eat it too." Taeyeon said with a grin. She felt air swish past her shin. Jessica had 

tried to kick her under the table. She chuckled and took a slice from the pizza too. "I was only joking." 

Taeyeon said and took a bite of the slice.

"Uhu." Jessica said and wiped her mouth with a napkin. "But seriously, what would you do if I starved?" 

Jessica asked again.

"Is it even any risk you'd starve?" Taeyeon asked with a raised eyebrow. Jessica shrugged her 

shoulders.

"You never know." Jessica said with a smirk. Taeyeon chuckled and finished chewing on her bite before 

she answered:

"I'd obviously feed you if you were starving." Taeyeon said.

"But there's no food." Jessica said and took another bite from her pizza slice. Taeyeon chuckled by how 

ironic that statement sounded.

"I'd feed you something else then." Taeyeon said. Jessica nodded her head approving.

"But there's nothing else. We're in the desert together."

Taeyeon stopped in her action for a moment while she was thinking. "I'd feed you my leg." Taeyeon 

said and took a bite from her pizza. Jessica that had been about to finish her first pizza slice stopped in 

her action and looked at Taeyeon with her mouth open in disgust.

"Your leg?" Jessica asked incredulous.

"You said there was nothing else there." Taeyeon said and shrugged her shoulders.

"And your option then is cannibalism?" Jessica asked. Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders.

"Would it have been better if I said I'd feed you sand?" Jessica made a grimace of disgust and slightly 

chuckled.

"No. But back to the leg, if you feed me your leg you'd probably die of blood -lost, what then?" Jessica 

asked and took another pizza slice from the carton.

"I'd die." Taeyeon stated the obvious.

"Yeah, but before that happens. You know that once you're dead I'm alone." Jessica said and took a 

bite of her new pizza slice. Taeyeon was quiet for a few seconds while she was thinking.

"I'd tell you to drink my blood, because I'd die of blood-lost anyway and you'd survive from dehydration, 

and for you to eat the rest of my body." Taeyeon said.

"Okay, ew." Jessica dropped her half eaten pizza slice in the carton. Taeyeon looked innocently at the 

chestnut haired woman that probably had been disgusted by what she had said.

"What? It's about surviving here, and because I'm the one dying it's obviously best to use my body for 

your necessities." Taeyeon explained. Jessica nodded her head knowingly.

"Yeah, I know." Jessica said and looked at the remaining pizza in the carton. A smile appeared on her 

lips and she began laughing. The blonde woman that sat opposite her looked questioning at her. "I 

don't know if I should think sacrificing your leg and the rest of your body for my survivability should be 

romantic or if it's just plain stupid." Jessica said and chuckled again. Taeyeon smiled and finished 

eating the pizza slice in her hand.

"It's romantic." Taeyeon said with a confident smirk. Jessica smirked too and leaned her elbows on the 

table while she watched her girlfriend eating the pizza.

"It could be selfish too. Because you die pretty fast if I drink your blood, but once I've eaten your body 

and there's nothing left of you to eat I need to suffer all alone in the desert." Jessica said and leaned 

back in her chair again. "You die with me and have a pretty fast death, while I have to die alone and 

suffer for a long time before my body finally gives in." Jessica explained. Taeyeon nodded her head as 

she was understanding what Jessica was getting at.

"Then I change what I said. While I make you eat my leg, I eat your leg, and then we'll both will die of 

blood-lost together." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica chuckled and shook her head.

"You always have to be right, don't you?" Jessica said and lifted on the half eaten pizza slice she had 

abandoned earlier.

"It's part of my work." Taeyeon said with a smirk. Jessica shook her head.

"I wouldn't want to end up in the desert with you." Jessica said and glanced at the blonde woman.

"Why not?" Taeyeon asked almost disappointed. Jessica smiled and ate a bite from the pizza slice in 

her hand.

"Because I don't want to eat your leg, and I don't want you to eat my leg either." Jessica stated simply.

"Now that's selfish." Taeyeon said. Jessica shrugged her shoulders and eyed the rest of the pizza slice 

she was holding in her hand.

"I'd rather have us suffer together." Jessica said and averted her gaze to Taeyeon. Taeyeon nodded 

understanding.

"But the question was about what I'd do if you were starving." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica 

smirked to.

"I thought you realized I've changed the topic to 'what would you do to not let your girlfriend die 

alone?'." Jessica said and ate her pizza. Taeyeon continued to smile.

"No, I didn't realize that." Taeyeon said and shook her head.

"Doesn't matter. At least I know what we're talking about." Jessica said and smirked.

"I don't think I like businesswomen." Taeyeon said and smirked. Jessica chuckled.

"Too bad you're dating one." Jessica said and winked. The wink and statement made Taeyeon laugh, 

which soon brought Jessica to laughter as well.

---The chestnut haired woman looked at the earrings in her ear in the mirror. Seeing it matched she 

smiled and closed her jewelry box and glanced at her reflection again. Her eyes landed at the reflection 

of the lump that was on the bed, a smile graced her lips and she turned around and went to her purse 

to find make-up she needed. Movements from the lump on the bed made Jessica turn her head 

towards the blonde woman that still was lying in bed. Seeing that Taeyeon had woke up she smiled at 

the woman that smiled tiredly back at her.

"Did I wake you up?" Jessica asked and went to the bed and took a seat beside Taeyeon that was s till 

lying down. Taeyeon stifled a yawn while she stretched up her arms above her head.

"Your absence in bed woke me up." Taeyeon said with a grin. Jessica smiled and bent down to plant a 

kiss on Taeyeon's lips.

"When do you start today?" Jessica asked and took a pocket mirror to see her own reflection while she 

put on her make-up.

"Twelve I think." Taeyeon said and changed her position to lie her head on Jessica's thigh. Jessica 

glanced down at the woman that used her thigh as a pillow.

"You think?" Jessica asked and proceed to put on her make-up again.

"No, twelve I know it is." Taeyeon said tiredly and closed her eyes again. Jessica smiled and continued 

to put on her make-up. When she had applied the make-up she looked at both sides of her face to see 

if it matched.

"If it doesn't match you can just turn one side to the camera." Taeyeon's mumble was heard. Jessica 

frowned slightly and slapped Taeyeon's head lightly before she got up from the bed. She turned her 

back to Taeyeon so the blonde woman couldn't see the smile the was on her lips.

"Babo." Jessica muttered still with a smile on her face.

"But you love this babo." Taeyeon said from the bed. The statement made Jessica smile even wider.

When Jessica had made sure the make-up matched on both sides she turned to walk back to the bed 

where Taeyeon was still lying. Seeing the chestnut haired woman approach Taeyeon extended her 

arms towards her, and Jessica let herself be hugged by Taeyeon and get dragged back down to bed. 

Jessica giggled when she felt Taeyeon's hands tickle her sides.

"You're going to ruin my clothes." Jessica laughed and squirmed.

"You'll have time to fix them." Taeyeon said and checked the digital clock on her bedside table. Feeling 

tired she stopped tickling Jessica and let her arms just rest around the chestnut haired woman's body 

while she was lying underneath her.

"What now?" Jessica asked when she noticed Taeyeon had stopped tickling her.

"It's tiring tickling you." Taeyeon said with a grin. Jessica shook her head before  she leaned it against 

Taeyeon's shoulder to rest for a while.

"Did you eat breakfast?" Taeyeon asked with her eyes closed. She was leaning her head against the 

other woman's.

"No, Tiffany will bring me breakfast." Jessica said. She felt Taeyeon's chest vibrate as the blonde 

woman laughed.

"You know, Tiffany isn't your mother. You can't always make her bring you breakfast because you don't 

feel like cooking." Taeyeon said with a smile.  

"But what should I do when my girlfriend is too lazy to get up from  bed to make me breakfast?" Jessica 

asked and glanced at Taeyeon. Taeyeon began laughing again.

"You wake her up with a kiss and hopes she won't drag you back down to bed." Taeyeon said and 

kissed Jessica.

"Not a solution." Jessica said when they had br oken the kiss.

"Because you always comply when I drag you back down to bed." Taeyeon said and smirked. Jessica 

pondered about it for a bit before she nodded her head. She was partly the problem in this.

"But it's because you're so inviting when you're lying in bed." Jessica said and traced her fingers over 

Taeyeon's jawline. The blonde woman burst out laughing from hearing her girlfriend's comment.

"So I'm always the problem?" Taeyeon asked and opened her eyes to look at Jessica. Jessica nodded 

her head.

"It's hard resisting you." Jessica said and gave Taeyeon one last kiss before she tried to get up from her 

favorite place.Taeyeon slowly let her hands slide of Jessica's side, when Jessica had gotten out of bed 

completely she let her right hand slide down Jessica's leg. Jessica turned to her with a pout on her lips.

"What?" Taeyeon asked innocently and turned to lie on her side while she looked at Jessica. Jessica 

looked down at her leg Taeyeon's hand just had slid down.

"You just had to do that unnecessary move, didn't you?" Jessica asked. Still looking innocent Taeyeon 

played oblivious.

"I'm afraid I don't know what move you're talking about." Taeyeon said. Jessica sighed and shook her 

head.

"Of course you don't." Jessica said and leaned down to kiss Taeyeon. "I have to go now. Remember to 

get out of bed and get ready for work later. You can't lie in bed the whole day and think about me, 

alright?" Jessica said after she had kissed Taeyeon. She stroked her fingers through the woman's 

blonde locks.

"Alright." Taeyeon said and smiled up at the chestnut haired woman. Jessica smiled back at her and 

kissed her forehead before she finally turned to leave.

From the bed Taeyeon watched Jessica exit the bedroom. She continued to listen to the sound of 

Jessica walking to the hall, and finally to the door that opened and closed. She waited for a few more 

minutes to make sure Jessica wouldn't come back before she got out of bed.

She put on a purple bathrobe that were hanging over the backrest of a chair in their room before she 

made her way to their shared walk-in -closet. From there she took out two suitcases, one was hers and 

one was Jessica's. She opened both of them and started packing them with their clothes; clothes she 

thought was necessary for what she had  in mind.

Oh, baby. If you only knew what I have in store for you today. Taeyeon thought with a smile and placed 

some of Jessica's shirts inside one of the suitcases.

---The chestnut haired woman slumped down on one of the chairs. She put one leg over the other and let 

out a tired sigh. She heard two other persons sit down on the two chairs that were besides hers. With 

her eyes now open she looked towards her left and saw Tiffany had sat down on the chair closest to 

her, and beside Tiffany was a man sitting.

"So many reporters. I thought we only would do two or three interviews." Tiffany said. Jessica nodded 

her head agreeing.

"It's hard staying away when Jessica is here. They're still curious about the rumor of Taeyeon cheating 

on her even though it was cleared up a week ago." The man with the sign 'Heechul' said. Jessica 

frowned and nodded her head. She had expected some of the questions to her would be about her and 

Taeyeon, but she hadn't expected every reporter to bring up that issue.

"I'm just happy that it's over now." Jessica said and saw her and Tiffany's secretary coming over to 

them with coffee cups. She gladly took the cup with the bitter liquid and drank a sip of it. She let out a 

satisfied sigh and continued to watch the technology staff fixing the sound system on stage.

"How come you were in such a hurry when you came this morning?" Tiffany asked and turned her head 

towards Jessica. Jessica sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Taeyeon used an unfair move this morning." Jessica said. Tiffany s miled and the man beside her let 

out a chuckle.

"Seems like you didn't have to lie about your relationship to the reporters then." Heechul said and 

turned his head away from the phone he had been looking at the whole time.

"I never lie." Jessica said and drank another sip from her coffee. The man and the woman beside her 

smiled and they lifted their coffee cups to their mouth and took a sip of them too. The three of them 

continued to watch while staff members ran around them and fixed with all the technology things before 

the opening would start.

---The black BMW M Boss came to a halt on the parking lot that was filled with cars already. A blonde 

woman clad in a black skirt that reached above her knees, a white blouse and a blazer that matched 

with the skirt. The heels on her black high heels clicked against the pavement when she followed the 

crowd of people that walked towards a large stage In front of the stage were numerous of chairs put up 

in lines. Half of the chairs had already been taken by people  that had come to watch.

Taeyeon continued to walk towards the chairs that were right in front of the stage. She noticed some 

people looked her way and she nodded towards them in a greeting. When she had reached the front 

seats she noticed an elderly woman and a woman with brown hair was already sitting there. Feeling 

someone was watching them they both turned their head towards her.

"Taeyeon, you came." Mrs. Jung exclaimed upon seeing the blonde woman. She stood up to hug her 

and Taeyeon returned the hug before she went to Krystal and hugged the younger woman .

"Yeah, but I don't think I'll be able to be here that long though." Taeyeon said with slight disappointment 

in her voice. Both Mrs. Jung and Krystal turned to the woman that talked.

"Oh, that's too bad." Mrs. Jung said.

"I need to fix the surprise." Taeyeon said with a smile and winked. Jessica's mother started chuckling 

and Krystal smiled. The three woman turned towards the stage where people already were standing on. 

Taeyeon's eyes quickly landed on the chestnut haired woman that was seated on a chair with a white 

paper in her lap that she was reading. Beside her was Tiffany that were busy talking to two men that 

stood in front of her.

"Was dad going to come too?" Krystal asked her mother. The  question made Taeyeon turn away from 

Jessica and look at her girlfriend's family members that were seated beside her.

"He would try to come." Mrs.Jung said. A frown appeared on Krystal's lips and she crossed her arms 

while she looked towards the stage where her sister and her future boss was on.

"I'm impressed he always tells unnie to be successful but yet he doesn't seem to support her when she 

is." Krystal mumbled. Mrs. Jung sighed and looked towards the stage.

"That's just how he is." She said sadly. Taeyeon turned away from the two women towards the stage; 

her eyes landed on Jessica again that now had looked up from the paper in her lap. Their eyes locked, 

the chestnut haired woman's eyes widening slightly. Taeyeon smiled upon seeing Jessica's reactio n.

"Oh, you didn't tell her you were coming." Krystal said when she had seen her sister's reaction to 

Taeyeon's presence. The blonde woman shook her head.

"No, she probably thinks I'm still in bed at home." Taeyeon said cheekily. The chestnut haired  woman 

stood up from her chair on stage, she said something to Tiffany and the brown haired woman looked 

Taeyeon's way before she nodded her head with a smile.

Taeyeon watched as Jessica walked towards the front of the stage, she stopped right in front of 

Taeyeon and crouched down. The blonde woman continued to smile at Jessica that still looked 

surprised at her.

"What are you doing here?" Jessica asked Taeyeon but looked at her mother and sister that were 

beside her girlfriend.

"Am I not allowed to come?" Taeyeon asked innocently. Jessica turned back to her with her mouth 

slightly open.

"No, that's not what I meant." Jessica said and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Let's just say it's for the media. And for my amusement. I want to see my girlfriend in action."  Taeyeon 

said and leaned back in her chair. Jessica raised an eyebrow at Taeyeon's statement.

"I'm giving a speech, nothing more." Jessica said. Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders.

"You're still in action." Taeyeon said. The blonde woman eyed the chestnut hai red woman that was 

crouching in front of her on the stage. "Besides, business women are rather sexy in action." Taeyeon 

said with a grin. A flabbergasted expression appeared on Jessica's face while Mrs. Jung and Krystal 

couldn't hold in their rather shocked reaction to what Taeyeon just blurted out.

"Lucky you that it's two business women on stage today then." Jessica said when she had recovered 

from her shook. Taeyeon smirked.

"But one of them is married, and I don't look at married women." Taeyeon said  with a wide smirk. 

Jessica could only shake her head at what Taeyeon was saying.

"You change your opinions rather quickly, don't you?" Jessica said with a smile.

"Gotta do what's best for you, right?" Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica chuckled and glanc ed over her 

shoulder at Tiffany and the two men that still were talking.

"I need to go back. But I'll probably see you here, or somewhere else." Jessica said and stood up. 

Taeyeon nodded understanding and the chestnut haired woman smiled at her mother and sister before 

she made her way back to her seat beside Tiffany.

The three women continued to watch the people on the stage that were preparing. Soon music went off, 

indicating they were starting. A man clad in a black suit and a baby blue tie went to one  of the mics that 

stood in the middle of the stage. He began talking, explaining what the opening was about and to end 

his little speech he introduced one of the founders of the company. One of the men that Tiffany and 

Jessica had spoken earlier to went forward to the mic and began talking. The opening continued like 

that.

---Jessica looked up at Heechul that just had finished giving his speech while ending it with introducing 

her as one of the representatives that was here to talk for J&T corporation. She smiled at the man while 

she made her way towards the mic. She glanced towards the seats where she had seen her mother, 

sister and girlfriend sitting before. She got rather surprised to see the seat beside Krystal that Taeyeon 

had been sitting on before was now occupied by her father. Not thinking much about Taeyeon's 

absence she turned towards the audience and smiled.

"It's a great honor to be here today. I'm really grateful towards Heechul-sshi and Yunho-sshi that invited 

me and Tiffany today." Jessica said with a smile and pointed at the two men that stood behind her. "As 

Heechul-sshi said, we will cooperate with each other, and by showing him my trust I'm even giving him 

my sister to work for him." Jessica said and pointed at the brown haired woman that was sitting beside 

her mother. The audience gave her little joke a small laugh. She smiled again and continued on with 

her speech, explaining what the cooperation will mean for her and Tiffany's company and also what 

they can expect to see in the future from both companies.

In the corner of her eye Jessica could see something was going on beside the stage. She quickly 

glanced to see what was going on but saw nothing except the bodyguards’ backs. With a professional 

smile Jessica turned towards the audience and continued talking and blocked out whatever disturbance 

that was happening beside the stage.

"And with that I give the word to my partner Tiffany." Jessica said and turned away from the mic 

towards the brown haired woman that stood behind her. The  two best friends smiled at each other.

"Stop!" A bodyguards shout and the audience gasps made the two friends break away from their eye -contact and turned towards a person, clad in a black jeans, a black hoodie and a cap that was covering 

the person's face came running towards them on the stage.

Jessica didn't have time to react when the person's glove clad hand covered her mouth and with the 

other arm that was wrapped firmly around her waist dragged her off the stage. Wide eyed Jessica 

looked at Tiffany that stared at her in shock.

"S-stop them!" Tiffany finally said and pointed at the black clad person that was dragging Jessica 

towards the end of the stage. Jessica tried to struggle free from the person's grip but the person was 

surprisingly stronger than her.

A woman came forward and pulled on the black clad person's hood that was covering its face. The 

hood feel down, showing the person's blonde hair. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as she 

thought the hair was familiar. The person kidnappi ng her swatted away all the hands that were trying to 

stop them until the person finally had gotten Jessica off the stage.

Still being dragged Jessica was led towards a car that was parked behind a few trees and bushes. The 

person hadn't said anything to her yet, but when the car came into view Jessica raised both her 

eyebrows in surprise. It was Taeyeon's car.

The person opened the driver seat to the car and pushed Jessica inside. The person continued to push 

her until she had moved over to the passenger seat. Once she was seated on the passenger seat the 

black clad person got in and started the car and began driving. Jessica waited for the person to say 

anything to her, or reveal their identity as the person was still masking their face with the cap.

"Kidnappers usually say something like 'don't say a word' or 'be quiet or I'll kill you' or something of that 

sort." Jessica said and glanced at the person in the driver seat that she had a clue of who it was.  

Finally the person removed the cap that was covering her face. The person's blonde hair fell down and 

a face with a smile was revealed. Jessica let out a sigh and shook her head when she find out she had 

been right about who it was.

"Seriously, what are you doing?" Jessica asked angry and looked at  Taeyeon that was now focused on 

driving.

"Kidnapping you." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica shook her head again.

"Yeah, I can see that. Too bad you're failing at it! Turn around, I have to go back there. I wasn't finished 

over there." Jessica ordered. Taeyeon shook her head.

"Nope." Taeyeon said.

"What no? Seriously Taeyeon. People will freak out, you will get the police after you. My family was 

even there and saw it! The TV filmed it. It will become a huge issue!" Jessica said.

"Calm down. I planned this." Taeyeon said with a frown. "Besides, I've people that's covering for you 

there." Taeyeon said and a smile appeared on her lips. Jessica looked at the blonde woman with her 

mouth open.

"What?" Jessica finally asked when she had processed the information Taeyeon told her.

"Fany knew about it, your mom and Krystal knew about it too. I told your secretary, who almost blew it 

when she removed my hood, but it was good anyway, and I spoke to the bodyguards too." Taeyeon 

started counting up all the people she had told about the fake kidnapping. "Oh, Tiffany also told those 

two guys, what were their names again?" Taeyeon glanced at the chestnut haired woman in the 

passenger seat. Jessica was so angry about it that she was gritting her teeth.

"Yunho and Heechul." Jessica spoke through her clenched teeth. She crossed her arms and looked 

outside the window. Taeyeon carefully glanced at Jessica again.

"Are you angry?" Taeyeon asked. Her head going from looking at the road to Jessica that d idn't answer 

her question. The blonde woman let out a sigh and slumped her shoulders. "Here, call Fany." Taeyeon 

tossed her cellphone to Jessica. The phone that had landed in Jessica's lap got a glare from the 

chestnut haired woman.

"I have my own phone." Jessica said and continued to look outside the window. Taeyeon bit the inside 

of her cheek and tightened her hold on the steering wheel.

"I know, I just..." Taeyeon trailed off and glanced at the untouched phone in Jessica's lap. "Can you 

please just call her?" Taeyeon asked.

"Why?" Jessica asked back. Taeyeon let out a sigh and grabbed her phone from Jessica's lap and 

quickly dialed Tiffany's number. She had put the phone on speaker mode and the dial tone was heard 

in the whole car.

"Hello?" Tiffany's voice was heard when the woman answered.

"Fany, it's me." Taeyeon said; her eyes focusing on the road.

"Oh my God, Taeyeon! Do you know how freaked out people got after what you did? Even I got a bit 

shocked. Where's Jessica? Is she with you?" Tiffany asked.

Taeyeon opened her mouth to answer the woman but her phone got snatched away by the woman in 

the passenger seat. With a raised eyebrow Taeyeon glanced at Jessica that held the phone now.

"Yes, I'm here Tiff." Jessica spoke coldly.

"Oh, hi Jess! What did you think about your surprise?" Tiffany asked in a cheerful tone.

"I loved it." Jessica said sarcastically and hung up the phone and tossed Taeyeon's phone backwards 

to the backseat. Wide eyed Taeyeon watched in the rear view how her phone landed on one of the 

suitcases in the backseat. She pouted and glanced at Jessica that had got back to staring outside the 

window.

Her phone went off again and she glanced at it again. Hoping Jessica would answer she glanced at the 

woman in the seat beside her, Jessica however didn't move at all, nor giving any sign that she had 

heard the phone ringing.

"Can you please answer?" Taeyeon asked and focused her eyes on the road. Jessica didn't say 

anything and gave Taeyeon the cold shoulder. The blonde woman heaved a sigh and made a sharp 

turn and drove up to the side of the road and stopped the car. She unbuckled the belt and turned 

around to get her phone. When she had gotten the device she checked who had called, it was no 

surprise to her when she saw it was Tiffany.

Now when the car was still Taeyeon texted the woman and put her phone in her black sweater pocket. 

She let out another sigh and sat with her arms crossed while she looked at all the cars that passed by 

them on the road.

After a while another phone went off. Taeyeon and Jessica glanced at Jessica's coat pocket where the 

sound was coming from. The chestnut haired woman looked at Taeyeon that shrugged her shoulders 

and turned to look outside the window again. With a sigh Jessica picked up her phone and answered.

"What?" Jessica said and didn't even try to hide how angry she was. She frowned and glanced at the 

blonde woman in the driver seat.

"Yes, it was very enjoyable to think you got kidnapped while no one seemed to care." Jessica said 

sarcastically.

"But mom, I-" Jessica stopped. She pinched her nose and sighed once again.

"Yes. I'll. Bye." Jessica hung up the phone. She stared outside the window for a while before she in 

anger threw her phone backwards. Taeyeon checked in the rear view how the phone landed at the 

exact same place her phone had been thrown to earlier. The two women continued to sit in silence for a 

few more minutes.

"Why aren't we moving?" Jessica finally asked.

"We're waiting." Taeyeon said. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows.

"For what?"

"For you to love me again." Taeyeon said and turned to Jessica with a smile.

Jessica turned her head the other way. She let out a sigh and continued to stare outside the other 

window while she was being watched by Taeyeon.

"I still love you, I'm j ust angry." Jessica said.

"For what I did?" Taeyeon asked.

"Yes!" Jessica turned her head towards Taeyeon again. The two women locked gaze.

"Okay, I can understand that. But I won't apologize for it. It was supposed to be a fun thing." Taeyeon 

said.

"Fun? Is it fun thinking you're being kidnapped?" Jessica asked angry.

"It's fun when you realize you aren't really being kidnapped." Taeyeon said.

Jessica let out a laugh and shook her head like she couldn't believe what Taeyeon was saying.

"Does it look like I think it's fun?" Jessica asked angry and pointed at herself.

"No, I'm quite disappointed in your reaction to this." Taeyeon said and crossed her arms.

"And I'm quite disappointed to find out that you actually did something like this to me."

"It was a fun thing!"

"You interrupted me during work!"

Taeyeon stared at Jessica with an incredulous look. Finally she let out a laugh and shook her head.

"So this is what it is about? That I interrupted you during work?" Taeyeon asked like she hadn 't heard 

anything more stupid.

"Yes!" Jessica said firmly. Taeyeon shook her head again.

"But you were finished over there. You gave your speech and after that you weren't supposed to do 

anything else." Taeyeon reasoned.

"People could have asked questions that I had to answer." Jessica said.

"That's why I told Tiffany to prepare herself to cover up for you. I think she can answer those questions 

by herself." Taeyeon explained.

"She can't possibly prepare herself for all the millions questions that could have been asked."

"Like the possibility that none of those millions questions could have been asked."

"Whatever. It's still bad that you interrupted me during work. It will look so unprofessional of me to just 

leave in the middle of everything." Jess ica said and crossed her arms. Taeyeon sighed and shook her 

head.

"You got kidnapped. You didn't exactly leave because you wanted to." Taeyeon said.

"By my girlfriend. I got kidnapped by my girlfriend. That doesn't sound good anywhere. Definitely if I 

don't go back there."

A frown appeared on Taeyeon's lips. She put her left hand on the steering wheel and started the car. 

She drove out on the road, but she still didn't head the way that was back to the opening. Jessica 

looked confused at Taeyeon.

"The opening is that way." Jessica said and pointed backwards.

"We're not going there." Taeyeon said with her eyes focused on the road. Jessica furrowed her 

eyebrows in confusion.

"Taeyeon didn't you listen to anything of what I said?"  

"Yeah, yeah. I heard. I interrupted you during your oh-so-important work that suddenly become the 

most valuable thing on earth for you. But too bad that I kidnapped you and won't return you." Taeyeon 

said stubbornly. Wide eyed Jessica looked at the woman in the driver seat.

"Turn around!" Jessica demanded.

"No!" Taeyeon finally raised her voice, which shocked Jessica so much the chestnut haired woman 

clamped her mouth shut and stared shocked at the blonde woman. Taeyeon focused her eyes on the 

road and gripped the steering wheel tightly. Jessica looked from Taeyeon's face that looked tensed to 

the hands that were gripping the steering wheel; Taeyeon's knuckles had turned white from how hard 

she was holding it.

"Why?" Jessica asked carefully.

"Because I don't want to." Taeyeon replied shortly.

"But... why not?" Jessica asked still not understanding why Taeyeon didn't want to turn around. The 

blonde woman heaved a sigh.

"Your work isn't important right now." Taeyeon mumbled.

"Taeyeon, it isn't for you to decide." Jessica said calmly.

"It is. If I suddenly feel that your work is more important than me then something went wrong."

Jessica clamped her mouth shut and averted her gaze to her hands. Silence filled the car and none of 

the two women looked at each other or exchanged any words. The chestnut haired woman heaved a 

sigh and glanced at Taeyeon that was focused on driving. She glanced at the hands that were holding 

the steering wheel, the knuckles weren't white anymore which meant Taeyeon wasn't gripping it as 

tightly as before. Nervously Jessica gulped.

"Sorry, I didn't want you to feel that way." Jessica finally said. Her eyes was still focused on Taeyeon's 

face. The blonde woman didn't respond or give any sign of having listened to what Jessica had said. 

Jessica sighed once again and slumped down in her seat while she looked outside the window.

"And thank you for at least letting me do my speech." Jessica said with her eyes still outside the 

window.

"Of course I'd let you do your speech. I know how much effort you put into that." Taeyeon finally said. 

Jessica glanced at the woman that suddenly had spoken. A small smile appeared on her lips and she 

nodded her head.

"Yeah." Jessica mused and continued to look outside the window.

"Am I forgiven for what I did?" Taeyeon asked and gave Jessica a quick glance. The chestnut haired 

woman turned towards Taeyeon again.

"Yes, am I forgiven?" Jessica asked and tilted her head to the side. Taeyeon smiled with her eyes still 

on the road. She let go of the steering wheel with one of her hands and placed the hand on Jessica's 

lap.

"Yes." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica smiled too and lifted on the hand on her lap and intertwined 

her fingers with the hand. And like that the two women smiled at each other before Taeyeon went ba ck 

to driving and the car filled with a more comfortable silence.

--- 

The car went to a place that were in the mountains. Jessica noticed quickly how the scenery changed 

as it become more woods than houses along the way. She looked at the woman in the dr iver seat that 

had 'kidnapped' her. Because she had no clue of where they are going she felt like she was really being 

kidnapped. The only good thing is that the kidnapper is her girlfriend.

The car turned right and was now driving towards a house, that from the look looked more like a 

cottage, but from the size of it it was more like a big house. When the car came to a halt in front of the 

house Jessica turned to Taeyeon with questioning eyes. The blonde woman was oblivious to it and 

went out of the car. Jessica followed right after her.

"Here." Taeyeon's voice broke Jessica away from her trance as she had been staring at the house 

while Taeyeon had went to get out the suitcases out of the car. The chestnut haired woman looked 

down at the handle to a suitcase Taeyeon was holding towards her. Without asking anything she 

grabbed it.

"And here." Taeyeon held out the phone Jessica had thrown to the backseat earlier. Remembering how 

it had gotten to the backseat Jessica embarrassed took the phone from her girl friend's hand.

Now when they had gotten everything they needed they started walking towards the door to the house. 

Jessica looked still surprised at the house.

"Care to explain what this is?" Jessica finally asked when Taeyeon had gotten out a key she wa s going 

to open the door with. Taeyeon looked at the door and back to Jessica again.

"A house. You know, a place where human being residence and-"

"I know what a house is, Taeyeon. But what is  this house?" Jessica pointed at the place.

"A surprise for you." Taeyeon said and shrugged her shoulders. The blonde woman turned to unlock 

the door while Jessica stared at her with her mouth open in shock.

When the door was unlocked Taeyeon opened the door and entered the house; Jessica followed right 

after. Her eyes was scanning the place with observing and amazed eyes.

Taeyeon took off her shoes when she entered and walked further into the house. Jessica copied 

Taeyeon's act and followed the blonde woman that had stopped by the end of the stairs that led up to a 

second floor. Jessica continued to look around the house, it was big but for the houses Jessica was 

used to it was rather small.

"The kitchen is that way, a bathroom is there, there's another one on the second floor where the 

bedroom also are. The living room is that way and you can go out on the veranda through  a door there." 

Taeyeon explained. Jessica looked at the blonde woman still with her eyes wide by amazement.

"When?" Jessica asked and walked closer to Taeyeon. Taeyeon smiled at her.

"Yesterday." Taeyeon said. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"Someone called me about this house when I was at work yesterday, when I took a look at it I thought it 

would be perfect so I bought it. I planned to take you here this weekend as a surprise, but then I heard 

about the opening you'd attend today so I got the kidnapping idea instead." Taeyeon said with a smirk.

"It's yours?" Jessica asked and looked around again.

"It's ours." Taeyeon corrected.

Jessica let out a laugh and walked even closer to Taeyeon and wrapped her arms around the blonde 

woman's neck in a hug. Taeyeon smiled by the reaction and hugged Jessica back.

"I thought you'd stop doing things behind my back." Jessica said. Taeyeon smiled even wider.

"It didn't include surprises." Taeyeon said with a grin. Jessica shook her head and let go of  Taeyeon.

"So, show me around." Jessica said and held Taeyeon's hand. Taeyeon intertwined their fingers and 

began walking towards the kitchen.

"Of course, madame." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica smiled back and let herself be led around the 

house by her blonde girlfriend.

TaengSic part 6

The chestnut haired woman fluttered her eyes open. It took her awhile to take in the place she was in,

she knew for sure she wasn't at home. Even the bed felt unfamiliar, but it usually didn't matter as long 

as she had her girlfriend sleeping with her. Jessica tiredly rubbed her eyes and looked at Taeyeon that 

was sleeping beside her. She smiled at the blonde woman that was sleeping with her mouth slightly 

open.

Jessica gave the sleeping blonde a kiss on the cheek before she took one of the blankets in the bed 

and wrapped it around her body before she made her way out of the bed. She now remembered where 

they were. She slowly looked around the room while she put on her bathrobe Taeyeon somehow had 

managed to pack with her. With one last glance at the woman still sleeping in bed Jessica exited the 

bedroom.

The chestnut haired woman made her way down the stairs and went to the living room. The living room 

had a Led TV hanging on the wall, a low coffee table in front of the TV with two cushions they could sit 

on. On the other side of the living room was a small fireplace. The house reminded her a little of the

houses you could find in northern America, Canada or northern Europe.

Jessica made her way to the door that led out to the veranda. She stopped by the window that was 

beside the door and looked out. A frown appeared on her face when she saw the sight. T he weather 

was cloudy and it looked like it would start raining any minute. With a sigh the woman turned around to 

head upstairs again.

Before she entered the bedroom again she took out her phone she had managed to place in her 

bathrobes pocket before she had left the room. She unlocked it to check the time, she noticed their 

maid had called two times and sent three messages, her mother had also called and Tiffany too. 

Seeing the time was only 10 in the morning Jessica only bothered to answer the maid's messages 

about their whereabouts before she made her way into the bedroom again.

Taeyeon was still sleeping in the position she remember she had left the woman. Jessica bit her lower 

lip and glanced at the two suitcases that were on the floor before she loo ked at the woman that was 

sleeping soundly. Having made a decision Jessica went for her suitcase and carefully opened it and 

started looking for something in it. She glanced at Taeyeon from now a then to make sure the woman 

wouldn't wake up.

She found the item she searched for. She carefully lifted on the white coat Taeyeon had managed to 

pack down. Jessica felt the coat's pockets; feeling something in the right pocket she let out a relieved 

sigh and put the coat back down in the suitcase.

When the coat was back in the suitcase Jessica went to the bed again. She crawled up by Taeyeon's 

side and lied down beside the woman with her head resting on Taeyeon's shoulder. She started to blow 

air inside the blonde woman's ear, which soon resulted in Taeyeon moving her head and letting out a 

small whine. Triumphant by what she had achieved Jessica smiled and watched how Taeyeon opened 

her eyes and looked at her.

"Good morning." Jessica chimed with a smile.

"Morning." Taeyeon said and closed her eyes. Jessica lea ned in and kissed Taeyeon, feeling the 

woman responding to the kiss she quickly pulled back and giggled by the pout.

"Hey." Taeyeon tiredly said and opened her right eye to look at Jessica. She closed it again and a smile 

was on her face. "It's too early to tease." Taeyeon said. Jessica giggled again and nuzzled closer to the 

blonde girl.

"It's already ten, you know." Jessica said and drew invisible patterns on the blanket that was covering 

Taeyeon's body.

"Too early for a Saturday. Besides you worn me out yesterday night." Taeyeon said. A chuckle left 

Jessica's lips and she stopped drawing patterns on Taeyeon's stomach and placed her hand on top of it 

instead.

"You have bad stamina." Jessica said and looked at Taeyeon's face. The blonde nodded her head .

"Or maybe you just worn me out." Taeyeon said and opened her eyes to look at Jessica. Jessica 

covered her face by leaning against the crock of Taeyeon's neck and giggled. She felt an arm wrap 

itself around her shoulders and she looked up at Taeyeon that  had closed her eyes again. A frown had 

appeared on Taeyeon's face and she felt the woman stroke her hand over her back.

"You're wearing something." Taeyeon said with a frown. Jessica began giggling again.

"To make it harder for you." Jessica said and pecked Taeyeon's lips before she moved away from the 

woman. Still with her eyes closed Taeyeon tried to reach out towards the woman that had moved away. 

Jessica looked at the woman with a smile on her face.

"It's cold." Taeyeon began whining. Jessica chuckled again and removed the bathrobe she had worn 

before she crawled under the blanket that covered Taeyeon and lied back down beside the woman. 

She could see a satisfied smile appear on Taeyeon's face.

"Hey, you're-"

"Pervert, shush." Jessica ordered and wrapped her arms around Taeyeon's waist. She could feel 

Taeyeon's stomach vibrate when the woman laughed.

"You made me one." Taeyeon said. Jessica only smiled and moved her hand, she felt Taeyeon's body 

flinch by her touch.

"Oh." The blonde woman let out. A smirk appeared on Jessica's lips. "You know, I'm still tired." Taeyeon 

said. Jessica lifted her head off of Taeyeon's shoulder and looked at the blonde woman that had her 

eyes open.

"Never stopped me before, have it?" Jessica said with a grin. Taeyeon' s body started squirming under 

her.

"Not really." Taeyeon replied fast. Jessica smiled and leaned in to capture the blonde woman's lips.

"Stop talking then and let me do what I do best." Jessica said before she captured the blonde's luscious 

lips.

---The chestnut haired woman opened her eyes and looked towards the curtain covered window. She 

could hear raindrops hit against the window and the roof. With a sigh she let her head fall back to the 

shoulder it had been resting on before.

"It's raining." Jessica said with a pout and pressed herself closer to Taeyeon. She felt their legs 

entangled under the covers and blankets that were covering their bodies.

"I can hear that." Taeyeon said with her eyes closed.

"You couldn't have checked the weather forecast before you brought me here?" Jessica asked and 

closed her eyes.  

"Too busy planning to kidnap you." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica slightly shook her head.

A comfortable silence filled the bedroom and the couple on the bed continued to cuddle until late 

afternoon. Feeling like it never would stop raining Jessica looked towards the window again. She let out 

a sigh and turned her head to the bedside table where Taeyeon's phone was lying. She leaned over the 

blonde woman to grab the device and checked the time before she placed the device to it's original 

spot.

"How much is it?" Taeyeon asked and opened her eyes and looked at Jessica.

"One thirty. And you have missed calls from Yuri and my mom." Jessica said and placed her head down 

on the pillow this time and looked at Taeyeon. She let one of her hands stroke Taeyeon's blonde locks 

while she and Taeyeon got locked in an eye contact.

"I was busy when they called." Taeyeon said with a shrug. She moved her head closer to Jessica's 

touch. Jessica smiled and looked at her fingers that were entangled in Taeyeon's hair.

"Yeah." Jessica mused and let Taeyeon's soft hair slip out of her hand before she began stroking the 

hair again. "It doesn't look like it will stop raining." Jessica said and looked back  at Taeyeon's brown 

orbs that were looking at her. The other woman nodded her head.

"Nope, but it doesn't matter." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows.

"You can't be serious that we should stay inside the whole day." Jessica said with a frown. Taeyeon 

shook her head and started to slowly move away from Jessica.

"No, get dressed and I'll show you." Taeyeon said and left the bed. Feeling the coldness Taeyeon left 

behind Jessica pouted while she watched Taeyeon finding clothes she could  wear.

"It got seriously cold when you just left like that, you know." Jessica complained but got out of bed 

anyway. Taeyeon chuckled and threw a sweater at the complaining woman. Jessica threw Taeyeon a 

glare but started to put on clothes anyway.

---With a smile on her face, Taeyeon turned to Jessica when she had stopped the car. With her mouth 

open in shock Jessica turned to Taeyeon that was still smiling, she turned to the sight in front of them 

again before she turned to Taeyeon again. She lifted a hand and with her index finger she pointed at 

what was in front of them.

"What are we doing here?" Jessica asked with her finger pointing forward. Taeyeon unbuckled her seat 

belt and turned around to take something from the backseat. Jessica watched the woman still with her 

shocked eyes.

"We're going to swim." Taeyeon said and threw a plastic bag that landed in Jessica's lap. The chestnut 

haired woman's left eye twitched and she looked down at the plastic bag in her lap. She carefully 

opened it like it could contain a bomb or something else that could jump out at her. A frown appeared 

on her lips when she saw what were inside the plastic bag.

"This is my bikini." Jessica said and glanced at Taeyeon.

"Do you think I'd let you swim naked in public? Now  change. You can change in the backseat." 

Taeyeon motioned for the woman to go on. Jessica gave her a you-can't-be-serious look.

"It wouldn't matter if I swam naked or not. No person are insane enough to go out in this weather." 

Jessica mumbled but complied to Taeyeon's order and climbed into the backseat of the car. She 

removed the sweater and looked up at the rear view where she saw a pair of eyes looking at her. She 

shook her head.

"Pervert in bed, pervert in the car, pervert everywhere." Jessica said a nd threw her sweater at Taeyeon. 

Taeyeon gave her an innocent look and turned her head around instead.

"But I told you that you made me one." Taeyeon said with a pout.

"Excuses, Kim ByunTae." Jessica said and continued her task in changing into her bikin i. Taeyeon 

continued to watch the woman while she undressed and got dressed. A smirk appeared on her lips 

when she watched how well it seemed to go for Jessica even though the space was rather cramped.

"Hey, you're pretty good at changing in backseats of cars." Taeyeon said. Jessica let out a chuckle.

"I'm good at changing in the backseat of your car. Thanks to all the practice you put me through a few 

years ago." Jessica said and climbed back to the passenger seat when she now was wearing the bikini 

underneath her clothes.

Taeyeon bent her head while she chuckled by the memory of the practice she had put Jessica through 

a few years ago. Seeing her girlfriend chuckle Jessica couldn't help but smile too by that memory.

"Well, I guess it wasn't only your fault then." Jessica said with a smile.

"It needs two people to do that, you know." Taeyeon said and kissed Jessica. Jessica furrowed her 

eyebrows when they had broken the kiss, making Taeyeon look at her in confusion.

"Actually it doesn't need to be two people to do that, because if you want you can..." Jessica looked at 

her girlfriend's expression that had changed from confused to shocked. "But I wouldn't know that, I have 

you, so yeah..." Jessica trailed off and looked another way. Taeyeon nodded her head and turned her 

head to the steering wheel.

"I see." Taeyeon said and looked outside the window.

"You have to believe me." Jessica said when she noticed that Taeyeon didn't believe what she was 

saying.

"Well, considering the fact that I'm so hot and  not always available, and that it's another pervert in this 

relationship I'm not surprised if you did." Taeyeon said and opened the car door and exited the car. 

Shocked by what she just heard Jessica stared at the car door Taeyeon just had closed after she had 

left the car, when she began coming to her senses she got out of the car and ran towards the blonde 

woman that began running away from her towards the lake the car was parked by.

"Yah! Stop!" Jessica began shouting after the running woman. The wind was blowing right in her face, 

making it hard for her to see as the rain came into her face.

When Taeyeon finally had stopped she was already by the water and Jessica didn't stop until she had 

caught up to the other woman. With a punch on Taeyeon's shoulder she stopped her running and 

looked angry that the blonde woman that was rubbing her sore shoulder now.

"Ouch, that hurt." Taeyeon said and continued to rub her shoulder. The rain had already soaked them, 

their hair was stuck to their face and the clothes was dripping wet. Jessica looked around them, she 

was beginning to get cold in this rain.

"Now what?" Jessica asked. A smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips and she looked at the water beside 

them.

"Just get into the water." Taeyeon announced.   

"What?" Jessica asked liked she couldn't believe it. She felt Taeyeon grab her right hand and she was 

dragged towards the water.

"Come on, it's said that water is warmer when it's raining." Taeyeon said and ran into the water while 

dragging Jessica with her. Jessica shrieked when she got into the water, and that Taeyeon made them 

fall didn't help either.

Both of them were sitting in the water now, if they hadn't been soaked before, they definitely were now. 

Taeyeon laughed while she looked at Jessica that had a dumbfounded expression on her face. The 

chestnut haired woman looked at the laughing blonde.

"Seriously, are you trying to kill me?" Jessica asked and splashed water into Taeyeon's face. Taeyeon 

only began laughing harder. Not being able to be angry at the blonde woman for a long time Jessica 

began smiling and she soon burst out laughing as well.

"Sorry, but your face... it was hilarious." Taeyeon said when she had calmed down. She moved closer 

towards Jessica in the water while the chestnut haired woman  began moving away from her, further out 

in the lake.

"Glad that my face could be for your amusement." Jessica said while she continued to swim away from 

Taeyeon. Like a tail Taeyeon followed the chestnut haired woman wherever she swam. Jessica began 

to notice Taeyeon wouldn't stop following her unless she stopped.

"Are you gonna continue follow me?" Jessica asked while she was swimming on her back.

"Well, you're the carrier of my heart, what can I do? Even if you were to go across the world I'd have to 

follow you." Taeyeon said with a smile. The statement made Jessica smile and she stopped swimming 

to allow Taeyeon to catch up with her. She felt two arms wrap themselves around her waist and a body 

was pressed against hers. With Taeyeon's face barely an inch away from hers she smiled at the blonde 

woman that smiled back at her.

"What was the purpose of changing into a bikini when we were gonna swim in our clothes anyway?" 

Jessica finally asked. Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders.

"I didn't think we would get soaked the first thing we did when we got out of the car." Taeyeon said with 

a smile. Jessica lightly shook her head and began swimming towards the shore again. Taeyeon's arms 

didn't let go of her waist and the couple swam together to shore.

"Why are you going back?" Taeyeon asked when she felt herself being dragged away by Jessica 

because she was still holding onto the other woman.

"Because keeping us both afloat it tiring for my arms. I'm not superwoman you know." Jessica 

explained.

"Use your legs." Taeyeon suggested.

"Someone worn them out this morning." Jessica mumbled while she looked towards the shore to see 

how far she had left. Taeyeon let her mouth get covered by the water while she laughed by what 

Jessica said.

When both women were able to stand up Jessica stopped swimming and Taeyeon let go of Jessica's 

waist and grabbed the chestnut haired woman's hand instead. Now when their upper body was out of 

the water they felt how cold the air around them was compared to the water. Not feeling like b eing in 

the water was fun anymore, Taeyeon dragged Jessica with her out of the water.

The couple ran towards a tree that could give them a bit of a shelter from the rain, but not from the 

wind. And shivering both women stood under the three while still holding hand. Jessica looked at the 

shivering woman beside her.

"Now what?" Jessica asked. Her body was shaking badly because she was shivering so much.

"We should get to the car. The towels are there." Taeyeon said and tried to rub her free hand on her 

arm to get some warmth from it. But it was futile.

"You didn't plan this so well, did you?" Jessica asked and moved closer to Taeyeon.

"Too busy thinking about you." Was Taeyeon's excuse. The chestnut haired woman shook her head 

while the blonde woman smiled at her.

---A hand was placed against the foggy mirror and slid across it; making a blonde woman appear in the 

reflection. Taeyeon smiled upon seeing her own reflection and she sat down on the bathroom chair that 

was placed behind her. Her hair was still dripping went after the shower she had taken.

Something white came into view behind her head before her vision got covered by something. She felt 

two gentle hands rub her hair with the soft towel that had been placed on her head. She removed the 

part of the towel that was covering her eyes and looked into the mirror again. A newly showered 

Jessica was in the reflection now and the other woman was busy drying her hair.

She smiled at Jessica that looked at her through the mirror. A smile appeared on Jessica's lips as well 

before the chestnut haired woman turned her eyes to the towel around Taeyeon's head.

"Can I tell you the truth?" Jessica asked while she continued to rub Taeyeon's hair dry with the towel.

"You can always tell me the truth." Taeyeon said and smiled at Jessica through the mirror.

"I hate this house."

Taeyeon looked confused at Jessica that was focusing her eyes on the towel that was around her head. 

When the chestnut haired woman looked up and met her eyes through the mirror reflection she let out a 

sigh and looked down at the crown of Taeyeon's head.

"But it was a surprise for you." Taeyeon said with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Exactly why I hate it." Jessica said and looked up to meet the blonde woman's eyes. "If we were gonna 

move into a house, I'd want us both to decide which house, where the house should be, and all that. I 

want us to do that together. Like with the apartment." Jessica explained. Taeyeon nodded her head 

understanding.

"So, you really don't like this house?" Taeyeon asked and leaned her head back to look up at Jessica. 

The chestnut haired woman looked down at her, another sigh left her lips.

"It's not that I don't like it, I just can't imagine us live here all the time, you know. I like the apartment, we 

have so much memories there, it's close to our work places too, it's close to our friends and family. I like 

it there. I wouldn't want us to move away from there just yet." Jessica said and stroked her fingers 

through Taeyeon's messy damp hair. A smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips while she looked into 

Jessica's eyes.

"Let's not move then. We can use this house as our summer house." Taeyeon suggested.

"You sure? You don't just say that because of me, are you?" Jessica asked and placed one of her 

hands on Taeyeon's forehead while the blonde woman was leaning her head against her stomach.  

"No, I don't want to move away from the apartment just yet either. Like you  said, we have a lot of 

memories there." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica nodded her head and stroked Taeyeon's bangs. 

"And if we were to move we should at least talk about it together." Taeyeon added. Jessica smiled and 

nodded her head again.

Taeyeon bent her head down to look into the mirror again. When she did Jessica bent down to hug her 

around the neck. The reflection in the mirror looked like a picture of them together. Both women smiled 

at each other through the mirror.

"Should I sell the house then?" Taeyeon suddenly asked. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows.

"Why?" Jessica asked confused.

"You said you hate it."

"I might have exaggerated a bit." Jessica said with a guilty smile on her lips. Taeyeon smiled a 

reassuring smile at the chestnut haired woman.

"It's okay. I won't sell it if you don't want to." Taeyeon said. Jessica nodded her head with a smile and 

broke the hug. Taeyeon leaned back against Jessica's stomach again. Still with the smile on her lips 

Jessica began to brush Taeyeon's messy hair. Taeyeon watched the other woman brush her hair with 

an appreciating look on her face.

"It would be good to grow old with you." Taeyeon suddenly said. A questioning look on Jessica's face 

appeared. "You always take care of me." Taeyeon said with a grin. Jessica smiled knowingly.

"But when you're old, I'm old too. Do you think I still will be able to take care of you then?" Jessica 

asked and looked at Taeyeon's hair she had finished brushing.

"I thought you said on your 23rd birthday that you would stop aging then." Taeyeon said with a smile. 

Jessica chuckled by the memory of that birthday.

"Too bad that my body won't listen to that." Jessica said with a smile.

"Really? I think you still look like 17." Taeyeon said with a grin. Jessica raised an eyeb row at the blonde 

woman.

"And you look like nine years old. Especially with that grin." Jessica said and put her hands inside her 

bathrobe pockets. In the mirror reflection she saw Taeyeon's grin quickly disappear and was replaced 

with a frown. Jessica laughed by the sight and took out one of her hands out of her pockets and patted 

Taeyeon's head. "Let's go now." Jessica said and exited the bathroom.

The couple went downstairs to the living room when they had exited the bathroom. Taeyeon noticed 

that Jessica had lit the fire in the fireplace. A smile appeared on the blonde woman's lips while she was 

led towards the floor in front of the fire where Jessica had prepared with blankets and pillows for them.

"When did you do this?" Taeyeon asked and sat down  on one of the pillows on the floor.

"When you thought I was getting the hairbrush and another towel." Jessica said with a smile. Taeyeon 

smiled and grabbed the chestnut haired woman's hand.

"It was kind of romantic of you." Taeyeon said and squeezed Jess ica's hand.

"Gotta do some romantic things sometime." Jessica said and squeezed Taeyeon's hand back. The 

couple smiled at each other before they turned to the fire. 

"But you forgot one thing." Taeyeon pointed out and glanced at Jessica.

"What?" Jessica asked and looked around like she would find the item in the living room.

"You forgot the wine and the food." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica chuckled and looked at the 

blonde woman with the big smile on her lips.

"I thought I could leave that task to you." Jessica said with a grin. Taeyeon smiled and moved closer to 

Jessica to place her arm around the chestnut haired woman.

"Or we could just feed off of our love."Taeyeon suggested.

"Sounds like a healthy diet." Jessica said with a smile. "No calories." She added while she leaned her 

head against Taeyeon's shoulder. The blonde woman nodded with a smile on her face.

In silence the couple continued to watch the fire while enjoying the presence of each other. Taeyeon 

placed her other arm around Jessica as well and brought the chestnut haired woman in for a hug. 

Jessica laughed by the hug that was rather unexpected and sudden. She hugged the blonde woman 

back with a smile on her face.

"Jessica, I know we haven't really talked about this, and we've prett y much avoided this subject through 

all years." Taeyeon released Jessica from her hug and moved slightly away from the chestnut haired 

woman. She sat on one knee in front of Jessica with a nervous smile on her face.

"Jessica," Taeyeon put her hand inside  her pocket and brought out a small blue box and held it in front 

of her towards Jessica. "will you marry me?" Taeyeon asked and opened the box and revealed the ring. 

Her heart beat hard against her ribcage, her eyes locked with Jessica's that looked up from the ring at 

her. A smile was tugging on the other woman's lips.

Jessica turned her head away from Taeyeon's gaze and started to laugh. Not expecting that reaction 

Taeyeon lowered the box and looked at Jessica that seemed to not being able to stop laughing. When 

Jessica finally had stopped Taeyeon had lost all hope and had sat down in front of Jessica again with a 

frown on her lips. Jessica looked apologetic at the other woman when she had stopped laughing.

"Taeyeon, it's not a no." Jessica said and held the other woman's hand. Taeyeon looked up at her still 

with a frown. "I just think it's funny." Jessica said and chuckled. A confused expression appeared on 

Taeyeon's face and the woman looked at Jessica with a raised eyebrow.

"Why is it funny?" Taeyeon asked and thought the situation was anything but funny. She had practiced 

this for days and had prepared herself for all kind of reactions from Jessica. Everything but laughing, 

she really had expected something else from her girlfriend.

"It's funny because of this." Jessica put her hand inside her own bathrobe pocket and brought out an 

identical blue box as well. When she opened it it revealed a ring, not the same that had been inside 

Taeyeon's box though.

"I prepared all this to propose to you, I just waited for the right moment, but you beat me to it." Jessica 

said and looked at Taeyeon's shocked eyes. Taeyeon stared at the ring inside the box and looked up at 

Jessica, this was far, way far from what she had imagined her proposal to go. The woman that now 

held out a blue box towards her smiled.

"So, Kim Taeyeon, will you marry me?" Jessica asked.

Taeyeon looked at the ring and then up at Jessica again. A smile spread itself across her lips which 

made Jessica also smile.

"But I asked you first." Taeyeon jokingly said with a smirk on her lips. 

"But I won't accept it if you don't accept mine." Jessica said with a similar smirk on her lips. The 

statement made Taeyeon chuckle.

Taeyeon moved closer to Jessica and tilted her head to the side and kissed Jessica on the lips. When 

they parted from the kiss Taeyeon had a wide grin on her face.

"I'd love to marry you, Jessica." Whispered Taeyeon in Jessica's ear. Jessica shuddered by the hot 

breath but a smile appeared on her lips.

"And I'd love to marry you, Taeyeon."

Taeyeon smiled and opened the blue box she had held in her hand, she looked up at Jessica and their 

eyes met. Like Jessica had read Taeyeon's thoughts the woman took out the ring out of the box she 

was holding and Taeyeon did the same.

"Because I asked you to marry me first I get to put on the ring first." Taeyeon cheekily said. Jessica 

smiled and held out her left hand and Taeyeon put on the ring for her; the ring fitted perfect. When the 

ring was on Taeyeon held out her left hand for Jessica  to put on the other ring, and same there did the 

ring fit perfect. They looked each other in the eyes with smile on their faces.

"I love you Jessica." Taeyeon said and interlocked their fingers. Jessica smiled and moved closer to 

Taeyeon to placed her arm around Taeyeon's neck in a hug.

"I love you, too, Taeyeon. I've always done and I'll always do."

TaengSic part 7

The door to the bedroom opened and a blonde woman came in with a pile of folded clothes in her arms. 

Seeing the chestnut haired woman that was standing by the bed were two suitcases was lying a smile 

appeared on her face and she went to the chestnut haired woman's side. The two women smiled at 

each other and the blonde held up the pile of clothes towards the other woman.

"Here's your clean and dry clothes." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica smiled and took the pile of 

clothes and put them into her suitcase.

"Thank you, fiancée." Jessica said and pecked Taeyeon's lips. A giggle escaped Taeyeon which earned 

her a questioning look from Jessica.

"You called me fiancée." Taeyeon said. Jessica raised an eyebrow.

"Well, last time I checked on the status of our  relationship it said 'engaged', which makes you my 

fiancée." Jessica said. Taeyeon smiled knowingly.

"Yeah, it's just new to hear you say that." The blonde woman said and held Jessica's hand.

"Yeah. It's new." Jessica said and swung their interlocked hands back and forth. She looked at the 

brown orbs of the other woman that looked at her with a smile. "We'll meet Fany and Yuri today." 

Jessica said. Taeyeon nodded her head. "Should we tell them?"

"No, they're going to spend time together today. If we t ell them they'll cancel everything they have 

planned and instead wants to hear everything from us. You know how they are." Taeyeon said with a 

smile. Jessica nodded knowingly and let out a sigh.

"I guess it will have to wait for another time." Jessica said and let go of Taeyeon's hand to close her 

suitcase she had finished packing. Taeyeon placed her now free hand on Jessica's back and stroked it 

up and down.

"We'll find time to tell them." Taeyeon said. Jessica nodded knowingly.

"And my parents." Jessica said and looked at Taeyeon. The blonde woman nodded her head.

"And your parents." Taeyeon repeated. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Taeyeon. 

Confusion spread across the blonde woman's face when she saw her fiancée's expression.

"What is it?" Taeyeon asked concerned.

"I'm suddenly worried about what my parents will think of it." Jessica said with a frown. Taeyeon nodded 

her head understanding.

"Remember who asked us to get married." Taeyeon said and winked. Jessica nodded her head but her 

worries didn't seem to disappear anyway.

"I know. But my dad has his ways of changing his mind." Jessica mumbled the last part.

"He can't really say anything right now. You fulfilled his first wish, and even if he changes his mind now 

you're still old enough to make your own decisions." Taeyeon reminded her fiancée. Jessica nodded 

her head and sighed.

"True. And I shouldn't worry about it now. I should be happy to be with you, and later babysit our 

godson and meet our friends. That's what I should think about." Jessica said and placed her arms 

around Taeyeon's neck and brought in the woman for an embrace.

"Yeah, and maybe Fany's wrath when she finds out you kept this a secret from her." Taeyeon said and 

felt Jessica leaned her forehead against hers. She  could see the frown appearing on the chestnut 

haired woman's lips.

"Don't remind me of that. Let's not destroy this sweet moment." Jessica begged. Taeyeon smiled and 

stole a kiss of Jessica.

"As you wish, my love." Taeyeon said after she had broken the kiss. The engaged couple smiled at 

each other before they went back to pack their things to get back home.

---The brown haired woman looked at her reflection in the mirror that showed her whole body. She 

straighten out some wrinkles on her dress and fixed her hair a bit before she put on a coat over the pink 

dress she was wearing.

"Fany-ah, Taeng and Sica are here!" Yuri's shout was heard from downstairs. Tiffany smiled and picked 

up the handbag that was on a chair beside the mirror before she exited the bedroom to go downstairs.

When the brown haired woman had made her way down the stairs she saw her wife and son waiting for 

her there. The little boy was clutching to Yuri's leg while they waited for the woman to c ome down the 

stairs. The married couple smiled at each other when Tiffany got closer.

"Mommys are going out now. Be nice to aunt Jessica and aunt Taeyeon, okay?" Tiffany bent down to 

the little boy. The boy nodded his head and Tiffany smiled at him before she gave him a kiss on the 

cheek. "Good boy." Tiffany said and patted Kyungkyu's head. Yuri did the same and the couple went to 

the door.

When they opened another couple was standing on the other side of the door. The four women smiled 

at each other when they saw each other. Tiffany that had been linking her arm with Yuri's let go of the 

woman to hug Jessica and Taeyeon.

"Welcome back, and thank you for being able to babysit Kyungkyu." Tiffany said when she had broken 

her hug with Taeyeon. Jessica and Taeyeon just smiled at both Tiffany and Yuri.

"It's okay. I told you I wanted to babysit him when we both had a day off." Jessica said. Tiffany nodded 

her head and turned to her wife.

"Well, we should go. Call if there is anything, okay?" Tiffany said and  turned to the two other women. 

Taeyeon and Jessica nodded their heads before they pushed their two friends out of the house to get 

them going.

"Have fun." Jessica said while she watched the couple go to Yuri's car. The married couple waved to 

Jessica before they got into the car, and with a smile Jessica closed the door to the house when she 

had seen both women entering the car.

She spun around and expected to see her fiancée behind her, but found no one. With her eyebrows 

slightly raised Jessica began her search for the blonde woman that had disappeared somewhere in the 

house.

"We play hide and seek. Aunt Jeshka is it!" A boy's voice said. Jessica chuckled by the cute voice that 

came from the play room.

"Okay. I'm it." Jessica said and began walking towards where she had heard the voice. 

When she had entered the room she noticed that someone was standing behind the panel curtain. By 

the person's length Jessica could only think of one person that could be hiding there. With slow steps 

Jessica made her way towards the curtain and pulled it away.

"I found my way back to you, my love." Jessica said with a smile to the blonde woman that had been 

hiding behind the curtain. Taeyeon only smiled at the woman that had found her.

"Looks like you did." Taeyeon said and wrapped her arm around Jessica's waist. Taeyeon scanned the 

room before she pulled in Jessica for an embrace and pulled the curtain back to hide them.

"Oh, what is this new game?" Jessica asked when she and Taeyeon were both behind the curtain n ow. 

She smiled when Taeyeon leaned closer to her and brushed their noses together.

"It's called +18 scenary." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica chuckled and wrapped her arms around 

Taeyeon's neck.

"That's a bad game to play in a kid's playroom." Jessica said with a smile. Taeyeon smiled too.

"That's why we only keep it to this." Taeyeon said and leaned closer to capture Jessica's lips. The 

chestnut haired woman quickly responded to the kiss.

Remembering where they were and what they were supposed to do Jessica pulled away from the kiss 

and got a disappointed pout from her fiancée. Jessica smiled apologetic at Taeyeon and caressed the 

blonde woman's cheek before she broke away from the arms that were holding her.

"Stop distracting me and help me find Kyungkyu instead." Jessica said and pulled away the curtain. Her 

eyes landed on a little boy that was standing in the middle of the room with his arms crossed and a 

frown on his lips. Taeyeon saw where Jessica was looking and began laughing.

"Seems like you don't have to look." Taeyeon said. Jessica smiled and went to the boy that continued to 

frown.

"I found you!" Jessica said and patted the boy's head. Kyungkyu continued to frown and Jessica looked 

to Taeyeon; the blonde woman shrugging her shoulders.

"W hat is wrong?" Jessica asked and bent down to the boy's level. Kyungkyu continued to look at his 

godmother with his lips pulled down in a frown.

"You supposed to find me!" Kyungkyu whined. "Not only play with aunt Taeyeon."

Jessica smiled and looked over to Taeyeon that had a grin plastered on her lips. The smile on the 

chestnut haired woman's lips quickly disappeared and she looked back to the disappointed boy.

"I was going to find you, but I had to make sure Taeyeon wouldn't go and hide somewhere else  when I 

looked for you." Jessica explained and patted Kyungkyu's head. The frown on the boy's lips slowly 

faded.

"Okay, come and play here." Kyungkyu grabbed Jessica's hand and began dragging the woman 

towards his toys. With a begging look of help Jessica looked towards Taeyeon that only shook her 

head.

"You go and play." Taeyeon said with a smile.

"Aunt Taeyeon too." Kyungkyu said and held up one of his toys towards Taeyeon. Taeyeon's smile 

faded and a triumphant smile appeared on Jessica's lips when she watched the blonde woman take the 

toy from Kyungkyu and joining them on the floor.

"You the prince." Kyungkyu gave Jessica a toy horse made out of plastic with a knight on top. Jessica 

looked at the toy with a questioning look and watched when Taeyeon got the princess.

"Why am I the prince?" Jessica asked and watched while Kyungkyu prepared the castle.

"Mom said you're aunt Taeyeon prince." Kyungkyu explained. Jessica's eyes widened and she looked 

at Taeyeon that smiled at her.

"Tiffany said I'm the prince?" Jessica asked still looking at her fiancée. Taeyeon shrugged her 

shoulders and put the princess toy inside the castle.

"You'll have to ask her. Right now you're supposed to rescue your princess from the dragon." Taeyeon 

said and nodded towards the green dragon toy Kyungkyu was holding. Jessica looked towards the toy 

that was much larger in size compared to the horse and knight toy she was holding.

"Hopefully this knight has sharpened his sword." Jessica mumbled. Taeyeon chuckled and shook her 

head.

"Don't take it too seriously now." Taeyeon reminded her. Jessica only nodded her head and lifted o n the 

knights arm which the toy held the small sword.

"Okay, let go of my princess." Jessica said and moved the toy closer to the green dragon. Kyungkyu 

opened the dragon toy's mouth and placed the open mouth over the knight toy's head. When he moved 

away the toy Jessica was holding a headless knight in her hands. Jessica stared wide eyed at the small 

boy's doing while Taeyeon had to bite her lip to prevent from laughing.

"Prince, dead." Kyungkyu said and took the toy from Jessica and placed it on its si de to show it was 

dead.

"Gosh, you fail as a prince." Taeyeon said and shook her head. "What will happen to the princess 

now?" Taeyeon said with a faked sad voice. Jessica sent a glare towards her fiancée. When she turned 

back to the green dragon he was now holding the princess toy in its mouth.

"She's getting eaten." Jessica mumbled. Taeyeon faked crying.

"It's because her prince is dead." Taeyeon said with faked sadness. "Oh, how can you fail at rescuing 

your princess?" Taeyeon continued talking with  her faked sadness while placing her hand on Jessica's 

shoulder. Jessica frowned and looked at the headless knight.

"Oh, no. It's not over yet. The headless knight can still rescue the princess." Jessica said and lifted on 

the headless knight toy. Both Taeyeon and Kyungkyu looked at the knight that must have woke up from 

the death. A disapproving frown appeared on Kyungkyu's lips and he grabbed the toy from Jessica 

again.

"No." He said and placed the toy back down. Jessica looked at the toy she thought she  could bring 

back to life.

"Yes, he's a headless knight now." Jessica said and placed the toy back up again. Being a stubborn 

child Kyungkyu placed the toy back down on its side.

"No. Can't live again." Kyungkyu explained.

"Jessica." Jessica that had been about to take the toy again stopped when she heard her fiancée. She 

looked towards the woman that sat beside her and saw Taeyeon shaking her head. "Admit your 

defeat." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica looked back at the toy on the floor before she looked at 

Taeyeon again, her mouth opened ready to protest but Taeyeon shook her head.

"We can continue playing princess and prince when we get home." Taeyeon said. Jessica raised her 

eyebrow.

"Role playing?" Jessica asked. Taeyeon glanced at Kyungkyu that  was busy playing with his toys and 

didn't seem to take notice of the adults conversation. With a smile the blonde woman looked at Jessica 

again.

"Yes, and we can both be princesses then if you want. Or princes. Whatever you feel comfortable with." 

Taeyeon said and grabbed Jessica's hand to hold. Jessica smiled and looked back at the boy that was 

immersed in his playing.

"We'll discuss it when we get home." Jessica said and squeezed Taeyeon's hand. When she looked 

back at the blonde woman she saw a smile on Taeyeon's lips, she smiled back at her finacé and they 

both went back to watch Kyungkyu play.

---The woman took of the frying pan from the stove and moved closer to the plates that were placed on 

the counter beside it. She placed the food that had been made on the three plates before she put the 

empty pan in the sink. She grabbed two of the three plates and made her way to the dinning room that 

was adjacent to the kitchen.

"Sica, Kyungkyu, food is ready!" Taeyeon shouted and placed the plates on the  table in the dinning 

room. When she looked up she saw a chestnut haired woman enter the room with a black haired boy in 

her arms. Seeing her fiancée's appearance Taeyeon's eyes widened.

"What have you two been doing?" Taeyeon asked when she saw Jessica's  face that now looked like it 

had been used as a coloring book. The chestnut haired woman placed Kyungkyu down on his chair by 

the table.

"Painting." Jessica said with a grin on her face. Taeyeon shook her head and made her way into the 

kitchen again to get the third plate.

"Did you paint by using your face as a brush?" Taeyeon asked and looked at the woman that had 

followed her into the kitchen. Jessica went to the refrigerator to get them something to drink.

"I kind of fell asleep. Which apparently makes my face a sheet of paper to paint on." Jessica said and 

went to the cabinet to take out glasses for them to drink with. Taeyeon shook her head and turned on 

the faucet.

"Come here. Let me wash that off for you." Taeyeon motioned for Jessica to come clos er which the 

other woman complied to. Grabbing a piece of paper that she had soaked in the water Taeyeon began 

removing the paint from Jessica's face.

When she had removed most of the paint Taeyeon stepped back to take a look at Jessica's face. A 

smile appeared on her lips and she went to take a new piece of paper which she soaked in the water.

"I'm thinking of saving your mustache. It looks good on you." Taeyeon said with a grin. A slap landed on 

her shoulder following with a disapproving pout on Jessica's lips.

"Take it off." Jessica ordered. Taeyeon chuckled and placed the soaked paper above Jessica's lips and 

began rubbing it to remove the paint.

"I thought you were a prince. And if you're gonna be my prince I want you to have a mustache." 

Taeyeon said with a smile and looked Jessica in the eyes. Jessica looked at her with a raised eyebrow, 

making the blonde woman chuckle. "I was just kidding." Taeyeon said and removed the soaked paper 

from Jessica's face to see if all the paint was gone.  

"Good to go." Taeyeon said and threw the used paper in the garbage bin. When she turned her head 

back to Jessica a peck landed on her lips making her stunned for a second.

"What was that for?" Taeyeon asked while she watched Jessica take the glasses and the drinks to the 

dinning room. Jessica looked back at her with a smile.

"Remember to always check yourself in the mirror before you go to work these upcoming days." Jessica

said before she entered the dining room. Taeyeon was left in the kitchen wondering what the warning 

was for.

Still wondering what Jessica was talking about Taeyeon went to the dinning room with the third plate in 

hand. She sat down by the table opposite Jessica that sat beside Kyungkyu. The chestnut haired 

woman was busy helping the boy cutting his food.

"Why should I?" Taeyeon asked when Jessica had finished cutting Kyungkyu's food. With a sweet smile 

Jessica looked at Taeyeon across the table.

"I also want to see my prince charming sometime." Jessica said and began eating her food. Taeyeon 

raised an eyebrow while watching Jessica eat. The chestnut haired woman noticed she was being 

watched and she flashed the observer a smile while motioning for Taeyeon to eat.

Taeyeon slowly picked up her utensils and began eating the food with her eyes still glued at Jessica 

that now helped Kyungkyu wipe his cheek. Jessica continued to smile at Taeyeon that still looked at 

her.

"Prince charming, huh." Taeyeon said after she had swallowed the food in her mouth. Jessica nodded 

her head with a smile.

"Princess charming works too." Jessica said. A wide smile plastered itself across Taeyeon's lips and 

she looked up at her fiancée that sat across her. The two women exchanged smiles before they both 

went back to eat their food.

---"The End." Taeyeon said and closed the story book she had in her hand. She looked down at the 

sleeping boy that was lying between her and the chestnut haired woman that was on the other side of

the bed. The two women looked at each other with smiles before they slowly and quietly made their 

way out of the bed.

With one last glance at the sleeping Kyungkyu the engaged couple made their way out of the boy's 

bedroom to go downstairs to the living room. Hand in hand they went to the couch and plopped down 

on it. Both heaving a sigh.

"Finally alone." Taeyeon said and looked at Jessica. The other woman nodding her head while turning 

to face Taeyeon. Smiles appearing on their faces when their eyes me t.

"Yup. So what should we do now?" Jessica asked and placed her chin against Taeyeon's shoulder. A 

grin appeared on Taeyeon's lips.

"Well, there's a guest room..."

"No." Jessica said and moved away from the blonde woman that now had a frown on her lips .

"Why?" Taeyeon looked at Jessica with a pout. Jessica smiled and shook her head.

"Because, we're still babysitting. Our work here isn't done until Fany and Yuri gets back." Jessica said 

and leaned closer to Taeyeon to place a kiss on the pouting woman's lips. When she broke the kiss 

Taeyeon's pout was gone but her disappointed look was still there.

"Let's watch a movie instead." Jessica said and nodded towards the TV. Without protesting Taeyeon 

got up from her seat on the couch and made her way towards the DVD collection that was on a shelf 

beside the TV. She scanned the numerous of different movies their friends had.

"They have porn movies..." Taeyeon suddenly exclaimed.

"What?!" Jessica asked shocked. With a grin on her face Taeyeon turned around to  face the wide eyed 

Jessica.

"Just kidding." Taeyeon said and laughed by Jessica's reaction.

"Yah, don't say that kind of things. It's our friends you're talking about." Jessica said and grabbed one of 

the cushions on the couch and hugged it. Taeyeon shr ugged her shoulders and continued to search for 

a good movie they haven't seen.

"Well, just think of yourself. Are you keeping your porn movies on the shelf in the living room where all 

our visitors can see them?" Taeyeon asked with her back still facing Jessica. The woman seated on the 

couch looked at Taeyeon with an incredulous, her face slowly turning red.

"Yah! I don't have any porn movies!" Jessica shouted and held up the cushion ready to throw it at 

Taeyeon.

"Keep it down. Kyungkyu is sleeping." Taeyeon warned and turned to Jessica now with a movie in 

hand. Jessica lowered the cushion she was holding and watched as Taeyeon put on the movie.

When Taeyeon had put on the movie and the TV was on she returned to her seat beside Jessica on the 

couch. She grabbed Jessica's hand and the couple in silent watched the movie that was played on the 

TV.

Jessica glanced at the silent woman beside her. She looked down at the hand that was holding her left 

hand, a sigh escaped her lips and she turned towards the TV again.

"How did you know?" Jessica asked. She felt Taeyeon move in her seat beside her.

"I didn't. But now I know." Taeyeon replied. Jessica's clenched her teeth when she realized she just had 

been fooled. She looked at Taeyeon that had her eyes fixed on the TV.

"Are you-" Jessica didn't had time to finish her question as Taeyeon planted a kiss on her lips. 

Everything she was supposed to say was forgotten when she felt the other woman's lips on her own. 

When they parted Jessica was dazed for a few seconds as she tried to remember what they had been 

talking about.

"It's okay. Let's enjoy this movie instead." Taeyeon kissed Jessica on the cheek before she went back 

to watch the movie. Forgetting about what they had been talking about Jessica leaned her h ead against 

Taeyeon's shoulder and watched the movie with her fiancée.

---The door slowly opened and two women entered the house. Their arms were linked when they went 

from the hall to check where the babysitters and their son were. The sound and light  from the living 

room made the couple go there. On their couch they saw Jessica and Taeyeon sleeping soundly in 

front of the TV.

Tiffany and Yuri made their way to check on the sleeping couple on the couch. Jessica's head was 

leaning against Taeyeon's shoulder while Taeyeon was leaning her head against Jessica's. The two 

sleeping women were breathing regularly while the light from the TV illuminated their faces. Tiffany and 

Yuri looked at each other with smiles.

Tiffany grabbed the blanket that was folded on the armrest and proceed to put it over her two sleeping 

friends. Getting closer to them her eyes landed at the couples intertwined hands. A ring on her best 

friend's finger caught her eyes and she immediately pulled away with her eyes wide. The blanket 

slipped out of her hands and she pointed at the couple's hands.

"Yuri, Jessi's hand." Tiffany whispered to Yuri. The black haired woman looked where Tiffany was 

pointing and noticed the ring too. Her eyes widened and she looked at Tiffany again that had the same 

shocked expression.

The married couple turned the sleeping couple on their couch again. They looked at each other and 

back to them; their eyes were wide. Tiffany looked down to the hands that were interlocked. She 

thought the ring on Jessica's finger stood out. And it bugged her that she didn't know, or that Jessica 

and Taeyeon had said anything. She couldn't take it anymore.

"You got engaged?!" Tiffany shouted which made both Jessica and Taeyeon wake up. The couple 

almost jumped up from the couch when Tiffany had shouted. They looked shocked around the living 

room before their eyes landed on the married couple in front of them.

"Oh, you're back." Jessica said. Taeyeon yawned and stretched her arms above her head.

"Don't 'you're back' me. Explain this to me." Tiffany grabbed Taeyeon's left wrist and Jessica's left wrist 

and held out both hands in front of her. The rings on the two women's left ring fingers glimmered by the 

light from the TV. Taeyeon and Jessica looked at their hands before they looked at each other.

"Uh, it just suddenly happened." Taeyeon said and turned to Tiffa ny that just had released their wrists.

"And you didn't even tell us? You just went away and got engaged without saying anything!" Tiffany 

said and crossed her arms.

"Tiff calm down. You'll wake up Kyungkyu. We'll tell you what happened." Jessica said a nd tried to calm 

Tiffany down. Tiffany frowned.

"That day at your parents house when you said you were looking at earrings, don't tell me you were 

looking at an engagement ring?" Tiffany asked; the frown still downed her lips. A guilty expression 

appeared on both Taeyeon and Jessica's face. The statement her wife just said made Yuri remember 

something.

"You! You weren't looking at a necklace for Jessica, you were looking at an engagement ring!" Yuri 

pointed at the blonde woman on the couch. Taeyeon laughed embarrassed and rubbed the back of her 

head.

"I was afraid you'd realize that so fast." Taeyeon said and smiled.

"You just keep secrets from me!" Yuri said and pouted. The black haired woman crossed her arms over 

her chest like Tiffany did. The married couple looked with disappointed looks at their best friends that 

were seated on their couch. Taeyeon and Jessica looked up at them with apologetic looks.

"We didn't really plan anything. It just happened, I didn't even know she was gonna propose to me." 

Jessica said and pointed at Taeyeon.

"And I didn't even know she would propose to me." Taeyeon added. Tiffany and Yuri looked at the 

engaged couple with wide eyes.

"You both proposed to each other?" Tiffany asked surprised.

"Yes." Taeyeon and Jessica replied in unison.

Both Yuri and Tiffany let their arms hang down to their sides and they looked from the couple on the 

couch to each other and then back to the couple. They had hard to understand how the couple had 

managed to propose to each other at the same time without even knowing about it.

"The worst thing was that I proposed first but she wouldn't accept my proposal if I didn't agree to hers 

first." Taeyeon said with a pout. Jessica smiled and slid her hand into Taeyeon's and interlocked their 

fingers.

"But I accepted it. After you had accepted mine." Jessica said with a grin. Taeyeon turned to Jessica 

still with her pout on her lips.

"But I was still first." Taeyeon said.

The conversation the couple on the couch were having made the married couple burst out laughing. 

Jessica and Taeyeon turned from each other to their two friends that still stood and watched them.

"Gosh, you two are so... I don't know. You don't do anything like a normal couple should." Tiffany said 

and shook her head. Yuri nodded her head agreeing. The statement made Taeyeon and Jessica look 

confused at their two friends.

"First both of you are like 'nooo, no marriage talk' and then you both propose to each other. I don't get 

you at all. What made you change your mind?" Tiffany asked. She was shocked and happy at the same 

time. She didn't think the couple would get engaged so soon when both of them had avoided the talk of 

marriage so dearly.

Jessica and Taeyeon looked at each other. They smiled and looked back at their friends.

"Well, I don't really know. I just felt that when I love her as much as I do there's no point in not staying 

married. When we've come this far why not go the whole way out?" Taeyeon said with a smile. She felt 

Jessica squeeze her hand which made her turn to the chestnut haired woman. A smile was on 

Jessica's face which Taeyeon returned.

"For me, I just wanted Taeyeon's surname." Jessica said. The living room fell silent for a few seconds 

before all four women burst out laughing. "I was just kidding." Jessica added when she had stopped 

laughing. "I just felt it was the right moment. We've been together for so long, we've been through so 

much. I didn't see what could be wrong with getting married, it's just a change of a relationship status 

really. And a change of surname but that's optional." Jessica said and smiled at her last part which 

made the three other women smile too.

"Oh, Jessi. I'm so happy for your guys. Congratulations." Tiffany finally took a seat beside the chestnut 

haired woman on the couch and squeezed her in a hug. On the other end of the couch had a Yuri taken 

a seat beside Taeyeon and hugged the blonde woman.

"I've been waiting for you to get married for ten years! And now it's finally happening." Tiffany said 

happily after she had released Jessica from her hug. "Have you set up a date yet?" Tiffany asked and 

looked back and forth from Taeyeon and Jessica. The smiles on the engaged couples faces faded and 

they looked at each other before they looked back at Tiffany.

"No, we haven't told my parents yet. We thought that we would set up the date after we have told 

them." Jessica said with a small smile. She felt the blonde woman holding her hand squeezing it. 

Tiffany noticed that something was off with the two women and she studied them for a  bit.

"But there's something wrong." Tiffany said while eyeing Jessica. Being friends for so long Tiffany could 

read all messages Jessica's body language sent out. With a sigh Jessica nodded her head.

"Yeah, you know my dad has his ways of changing his mind about things." Jessica said and looked at 

Tiffany.

Tiffany's concerned expression changed to a unbelievable. She looked at Yuri and Taeyeon before she 

looked back at her best friend.

"He can't change his mind now. It was he that brought up the marriage thing in the first place!" Tiffany 

argued. Both Jessica and Taeyeon nodded their heads.

"I know. Taeyeon said that too." Jessica said and glanced at her fiancée that squeezed her hand in a 

comforting way. "But as Taeyeon told me, I'm old enough to make my own decisions now. I shouldn't 

care about what he says." Jessica said and looked back at Tiffany with a smile. Tiffany smiled at the 

chestnut haired woman and brought Jessica in for a hug once again.

"Oh, I'm so happy for you. I hope everything will g o well with the wedding." Tiffany said while squeezing 

Jessica in her embrace.

"Group hug!" Yuri announced and stretched her arms out to try to reach Tiffany with Taeyeon and 

Jessica between them. Jessica and Taeyeon got squeezed in between the married couple when they 

were engulfed in the group hug. Giggles and laughter escaped the four women while they sat on the 

couch and hugging each other.

TaengSic chapter 8

An Americano coffee was brought up to a pair of lips. The lips parted and the cup with the coffee was 

tilted, making its content enter the person's mouth which she swallowed befor e she put down the cup 

on the table again. Tongue licked lips and she looked at the brown haired woman in front of her.

The two women were at a café having their morning breakfast before they were going to their work. 

One of them was reading a newspaper while the other one was watching her, or looking at the people 

that went in and out of the café.

The woman not reading cupped the cup with her Americano. Her fingers were drumming restlessly 

against the porcelain. Something was on her mind, and she wanted to bring it up to the person in front 

of her. But she had difficulty to put words on her thoughts.

The sound of a page turning made the woman look away from the coffee she had been looking at and 

she was once again looking at the woman in front of her. Teeth bit down on her lower lip. When she 

released her lip she cleared her throat which brought the other woman's attention to her. An 

embarrassed smile appeared on her lips.

"Uhm Sulli..." Krystal began now when the other woman was looking at her. Sulli  nodded her head 

while looking at the now fidgeting woman.

"We're together, right?" Krystal asked. Sensing where this conversation might be going Sulli closed the 

newspaper she was reading and gave Krystal her undivided attention.

"Well, it depends." Sulli said. Krystal's smile faded and she gulped nervously as she knew what would 

follow Sulli's statement. "It depends on you." Sulli added. Knowing that it would come Krystal nodded 

her head and looked down at her coffee.

"I want us to be together. And not just some fling or something like that." Krystal said still looking at her 

coffee. "I actually want to be serious this time." Krystal said and looked up at Sulli. The other woman 

had a smile on her face when she heard what Krystal was saying.

"Wow, your job has really changed you. You're finally taking responsibility in your life." Sulli said and 

chuckled. Embarrassed Krystal looked down. "So, you want to take it seriously. Is there something 

else?" Sulli asked the woman that was looking at her coffee. A smile appeared on Krystal's lips and she 

glanced at Sulli.

"Can we move in together?" Krystal asked with a smile. Rather dumbfounded Sulli stared at the other 

woman across the table. Feeling nervous Krystal gulped and leaned back in her chair like she was

afraid Sulli would jump at her. "I mean, I live at my parents house, the same do you. Can't we find a 

place and move in together?" Krystal said with a sky smile. A smile slowly appeared on Sulli's lips, her 

eyes disappeared into crescent moons.

"I'd love to move in with you Krys. I can't believe it took you such a long time to ask it." Sulli said with a 

smile. A relieved smile appeared on Krystal's lips and she chuckled.

"I guess I've been living my life without really thinking about my future." Krystal  said with a smile. Sulli 

nodded understanding.

"Well, better late than never." Sulli said. Krystal nodded her head.

Still with a smile Sulli glanced at her wristwatch. Seeing the time she looked back at the other woman 

opposite her.

"I have to go to work now." Sulli said with an apologetic smile. Krystal nodded understanding.

"I understand. But I'll call you by lunch, and can we meet up after my rehab? You know, talk more about 

this moving in together thing." Krystal asked with a wid e grin. Sulli only nodded her head.

"Yeah, of course. I'll come and pick you up after your rehab." Sulli suggested. She had stood up from 

her seat gathering her things. Krystal nodded her head while she watched the other woman put on her 

coat and grab her handbag.

"See you later." Sulli said and kissed Krystal's cheek before she exited the café. With a taint of pink on 

her cheeks Krystal remained in the café, smiling by herself and not bothering about the onlookers that 

had looked her way when Sulli had kissed her cheek.

---Knocking following by the sound of the door bell woke the sleeping woman up. She rubbed her tired 

eyes while looking at the woman sleeping beside. Removing the arm that was around her waist, 

Taeyeon was able to make her way out of the bed. Jessica remained asleep on the bed while Taeyeon 

put on a sweater and made her way out of the bedroom to get the door.

A yawn escaped the blonde woman's lips and she unlocked the door and opened it. On the other side 

of the door stood an older version of her fiancée with a man that had some resemblance to the woman 

that was currently sleeping. Taeyeon's eyes widened instantly upon seeing Jessica's parents there.

"Oh, hello." Taeyeon greeted the two older people with a slight bow. She tugged on the  hem of her 

sweater as she wasn't really dressed properly.

"Good morning Taeyeon-ah. Is Sica awake?" Mrs. Jung asked and entered the apartment without even 

waiting for Taeyeon's answer. Still dumbfounded that Jessica's parents were there Taeyeon just closed 

the door when the parents had entered.

"N-no. She's still sleeping." Taeyeon said still trying to cover her bare legs with her sweater.

"I see. Well I'll go and wake her up then." Mrs. Jung announced and made her way to the bedroom. 

Wide eyed and with one hand outstretched towards the mother Taeyeon watched the elderly woman 

enter her and Jessica's bedroom.

Seeing Mrs. Jung had already entered the bedroom Taeyeon bit her lower lip and lowered her 

outstretched hand. She glanced at the elderly man that remained in the living room. Mr. Jung was 

walking around the room, looking at the books, DVDs and CDs in the bookshelf. He also looked at the 

photos that were hanging on the wall. Still feeling embarrassed Taeyeon continued to tug on the hem of 

her sweater.

"Long night?" Mr. Jung asked casually while looking at the photo of Taeyeon and Jessica that hung on 

the wall.

"Yeah, me and Jessica was at Tiffany and Yuri's place." Taeyeon said and looked down on her bare 

feet. The elderly man spun around, a small  smile was on his face when he faced the blonde woman.

"I see, that's nice." He commented. Taeyeon only nodded her head while looking towards the bedroom.

They heard the faint sound of a thud and a groan following afterwards. The elderly man and blonde 

woman glanced at each other before they looked back to the bedroom which voices could be heard 

from now.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Jessica's tired voice said.

"Just checking if something I heard is true." Mrs. Jung's voice followed.

The ruffling of sheets and covers were heard afterwards. The two people in the living room remained 

quiet while they listened to what happened inside the bedroom.

"Oh my God. It's true." Mrs. Jung's shocked voice was heard. Confused Taeyeon looked at Mr. Jung 

that stood with his arms crossed over his chest. The elderly man had no expression on his face, his 

smile was long gone.

"Mom - wait, what are you doing? Mom!" Jessica's voice and shriek was heard. The sound making 

Taeyeon turn her head back to the bedroom which Mrs. Jung came out from while dragging Jessica 

that tried her best to cover her body with a blanket.

Mrs. Jung pushed Jessica to stand beside Taeyeon. The couple looked at each other before they 

looked back at Jessica's parents that stood in front of them. A  smile was on Mrs. Jung's face while Mr. 

Jung's expression remained blank.

"What is this about? Why are you here?" Jessica asked and wrapped the blanket tighter around her 

body. She glanced at the blonde woman beside her and noticed Taeyeon's uncomfortable pose.

"Well, we found something really interesting this morning." Mrs. Jung said and opened her handbag. 

When she took out her hand from it she was holding a newspaper in the hand. Seeing the folded paper 

a groan and sigh escaped Jessica's lips.

"I'm not fond of the gossip page, but when I was gonna turn past that part I came upon this picture of 

my daughter and her supposed-to-be-girlfriend, and the title and pitcture really interested me." Mrs. 

Jung said and opened the newspaper and turned it to show Taeyeon and Jessica what she was talking 

about. A picture of them holding hand while walking in a grocery store was on the page. But soom parts 

of the picture were zoomed in.

The title read 'Taeyeon and Jessica engaged?' while their hands was zoomed in on, clearly showing the 

rings on their fingers.

Jessica groaned again while Taeyeon just bent her head down. This wasn't how they had planned how 

Jessica's parents would find out about it. They had talked about how to tell Jessica's parents once the 

time was right, but they had forgotten that some reporters and paparazzis really like to stalk their life.

"So, when checking your hands I guess it's true." Mrs. Jung said and folded the newspaper and crossed 

her arms over her chest. Jessica just sighed while glancing at Taeyeon that still had her head bent 

down.

"Let us explain. Sit down and we'll tell you the whole story. This wasn't really how we had planned it." 

Jessica said and mumbled the last part. The older Jung's took a seat on the couch while Taeye on and 

Jessica took a seat on the armchair. Now when they were sitting beside each other they shared the 

blanket that was wrapped around Jessica.

"So, engaged or not?" Mrs. Jung said. Jessica and Taeyeon glanced at each other before looking back 

at the parents, a sigh left the chestnut haired woman.

"I guess it's no point in keeping it a secret. Yes, we're engaged." Jessica said with a sigh.

"Oh my God! Finally!"

"You're not ready for this!"

The two elderly people's different reaction towards the news made both Jessica and Taeyeon stare 

wide eyed at Mrs. and Mr. Jung that was now looking at each other, rather shocked by the other 

person's respond as well. While Mr. Jung looked really angry Mrs. Jung looked very happy.

"What's the problem now? Wasn't it you that wanted them to get married?" Mrs. Jung said disappointed.

Mr. Jung glanced at the engaged couple on the armchair before he looked back at his wife.

"But they're not ready. You know the problem their last argument caused." Mr. Jung argued.

"It was a misunderstanding and they could solve that problem between them. It's part of a relationship. 

They're more than ready to take this new step!" Mrs. Jung defended the younger couple. Rather 

surprised by the argument that had broke out between the parents Taeyeon and Jessica listened and 

watched wide eyed the battle that was playing out before them.

"They're not ready! If misunderstandings like this can happen between them they're far from rea dy." Mr. 

Jung continued to defend his opinion.

"Oh, shut it. They're adults now, I'm sure they've already come to an agreement on how to avoid 

misunderstandings like that for happening again. Besides, you have no right to make decisions for them 

anymore. They're independent now and can take care of themselves." Mrs. Jung spoke like the couple 

wasn't even there.

Taeyeon and Jessica looked at each other, giving approving nods to what Jessica's mother was saying 

before they went back to listen to the parents argument.

"But we're still here to guide them. She still have to get my agreement before marrying my daughter!" 

Mr. Jung said and pointed at the blonde woman that was sitting on the armchair. Upon being pointed at 

Taeyeon's eyes widened and she looked at Mrs. Jung.

"But-"

"I proposed to Taeyeon." Jessica butt in before Mrs. Jung could say anything.

"What?!" Both parents said in unison and turned to their daughter after they just heard what Jessica 

said.

"Actually, we both proposed to each other." Jessica said and intertwined her hand with Taeyeon's which 

were under the blanket. Taeyeon nodded her head.

With mouths agape the parents looked at the two women on the armchair. Their eyes went from 

Jessica to Taeyeon and then back to their daughter that sm iled at them.

"So yeah, that's how it is. That also explains why our rings are different." Jessica said and held out her 

left hand and held out Taeyeon's too to show the rings that aren't identical. The Jung parents looked at 

each other. At least that was explained now, the newspaper hadn't been able to pinpoint if Jessica and 

Taeyeon really were engaged because of the different rings. It was good actually, it worked as a cover 

if the couple didn't want to spill the news just yet.

"Wait, wait, how did you both propose to each other?" Mrs. Jung said when she found difficult to 

understand how something like that could happen. Smiles appeared on the two women's faces and 

they looked at each other.

"I had planned to propose to Jessica during the weekend. And  I had planned what we were supposed 

to do and how I should do it but then she had prepared something else instead." Taeyeon said and 

pointed at Jessica. Jessica chuckled by the memory.

"I had prepared for us to have a romantic time in front of the open fire in the house Taeyeon had bought 

for us. I also had planned to propose to her during that weekend, but I had no idea about the surprise 

she had planned so I changed my plans quickly and come up with that idea, but when I had prepared 

the perfect moment, someone beat me to my real intention with it." Jessica continued.

"Jessica had prepared the romantic setting, but I proposed to her first, and then she revealed she had 

planned to propose to me too. So we ended up proposing to each other." Taeyeon said with a smile.

With dreamy eyes Mrs. Jung nodded her head while she listened to the story. A smile was on her lips 

when she heard the story.

"So how did you guys do, when you proposed to each other." Mrs. Jung asked. Jessica and Taeyeon 

looked at each other, both smiling with a knowing look.

"Taeyeon proposed to me first, but I said I wouldn't accept it if she didn't accept mine first." Jessica said 

with a grin. Taeyeon smiled by the memory. She thought back to how she had complained about that 

only yesterday evening when they had told Tiffany and Yuri about their engagement.

Mrs. Jung laughed and clapped her hands when she heard the story.

"That's my daughter." Mrs. Jung said when she had stopped laughing. With a proud smile Jessica 

looked at her mother. "But I still don't understand how both of you could plan this proposing without 

knowing about it. Did none of you suspect the other was up to something?" Mrs. Jung asked and looked 

back and forth from her daughter and her soon to be daughter-in -law.

"I didn't notice anything. I was busy with other things to notice anything going on." Jessica said and 

looked at Taeyeon. The blonde woman nodding in agreement.

"I was also too busy to notice anything. I had my own proposing to think about." Taeyeon said and 

laughed at the end. Mrs. Jung and Jessica smiled knowingly.

The older woman turned to the man sitting beside her. The man was silent and sulked over his defeat in 

the argument earlier. With a frown Mrs. Jung elbowed the man.

"Oh, stop being a grumpy old man now." Mrs. Jung said. The man continued being grumpy about the 

matter and remained quite. Mrs. Jung didn't bother about it and turned to the two women instead. Her 

happiness about their engagement showed on her face as she was smiling widely.

"I'm so happy for you. It's so good to hear you've finally come to this decision." Mrs. Jung got up from 

her seat to hug the two seated women. With smiles on their faces both Jessica and Taeyeon hugged 

the elderly woman.

"Krystal is moving out and Jessica is getting married, ah, life feels good right now." Mrs. Jung said with 

a proud smile on her face. Jessica nodded with a smile until she realized what her mother really said.

"Wait. What? Krystal is moving out?" Jessica asked surprised. With a surprised look Mrs.  Jung looked 

at her daughter that didn't seem to know about this.

"Yes, after having breakfast with Sulli this morning Krystal came by before going to work and she said 

she and Sulli are talking about moving in together." Mrs. Jung explained. Surprised by the news Jessica 

and Taeyeon looked at each other before they looked back at Mrs. Jung.

"You and your sister need to catch up with each other. I'm sure Krystal doesn't know about your 

engagement either." Mrs. Jung said and patted Jessica's head. Jessica nodded and glanced at 

Taeyeon that gave her a knowing look.

"I'll. I'll go by Heechul's company before work and check on her." Jessica said with a smile. Mrs. Jung 

smiled back but remembering something her eyes widened and she looked at the blonde woman 

beside her daughter. 

"Talking about work, aren't you supposed to be in the court soon?"  Mrs. Jung asked Taeyeon. 

Remembering she actually had work to do today Taeyeon turned to look at the wrist watch on Mrs. 

Jung's wrist. Seeing the time Taeyeon's eyes widened and she jumped up from her seat on the 

armchair and ran to her and Jessica's bedroom. The two remaining women remained in the living room 

while looking after the leaving blonde.

"I can't believe my boss made me be late for my work!" Taeyeon shouted from the bedroom. The 

statement made the daughter and mother laugh.

"That's how it goes when you get engaged to your boss's daughter!" Mrs. Jung replied back.

They heard the door to the bathroom slam shut, making Jessica and her mother snicker. There was a 

few sounds following afterwards before the sound of something crashing and a loud ban g. Wide eyed 

Jessica and her mother looked at each other.

"Damn... Sica..." Taeyeon's voice came from the bathroom. Worried expressions appeared on Mrs. 

Jung and Jessica's faces.

"What happened?" Jessica asked worried. She was already on her way up from  her seat.

"I... just... just come, please?"

Jessica glanced at her mother that nodded towards her.

"Go and take care of your finacée." Mrs. Jung said and motioned for Jessica to go on. Giving a smile to 

her mother Jessica left to check on Taeyeon.

When Jessica left Mrs. Jung looked at the man seated on the couch. Mr. Jung was sitting with his arms 

crossed, his head turned to the side. He looked like a stubborn kid that wouldn't listen to what his 

mother was telling him to do. Mrs. Jung shook her head by her husband's childish behavior.

"Oh my God Taeyeon. How did you manage to do this?" Jessica's concerned voice came from the 

bathroom. Mrs. Jung turned her attention to what her daughter and daughter's girlfriend was saying.

"I don't know. I just- ouch! That hurt." Taeyeon's voice answered.

"Sorry. Wait let me-"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, hold on. Can you let go of that?"

"Like this?"

"Yeah, now I think I can- AAAAAAAH."

Taeyeon's shout made both people in the living room jump in surprise. Worried Mrs. Jung made her 

way to the bathroom and lightly knocked on the door.

"Girls is everything alright?" Mrs. Jung asked concerned. The sound of steps on the other side was 

heard following by the click sound of the doorknob when someone on the other side opened the door. 

With a light opening Jessica peeked her head outside of the bathroom. Jessica had the same worried 

expression her mother had when she looked at her mother.

"Uhm... I don't think Taeyeon will be able to get to the court meeting in time." Jessica sai d. She bit her 

lower lip when she heard the moan of pain coming from inside the bathroom. Mrs. Jung furrowed her 

eyebrows and tried to look behind Jessica that was blocking the way. "Mom, I don't think it's good to 

enter." Jessica said when she noticed her mother's attempt in coming inside the bathroom. 

"Oh please, you're both girls, and I've already walked in on you two when you lived in our house so 

there's nothing to hide." Mrs. Jung said and pushed her daughter aside to see what was wrong with the 

other woman. She stopped when she saw the sight in front of her.

Taeyeon was sitting on the toilet lid, her left foot was wrapped with a towel that had some red stains on 

it. On the floor in front of Taeyeon was shattered glass that seemed to have come from a  glass bottle 

Taeyeon had dropped. Mrs. Jung's eyes travelled from Taeyeon's wrapped foot to the hand Taeyeon 

was holding against her head.

"What-"

"She had glass in her foot and I pulled it out for her. But it started bleeding more than I thought it 

would." Jessica said and looked guiltily at her fiancée.

"What are you two waiting for then? She needs to be taken to the hospital." Mrs. Jung said and turned 

to Jessica.

"I know, but..."

"I don't wanna go to the hospital." Taeyeon said with. Mrs. Jung and Jessica turned to the injured 

woman.

"Nonsense. I'll take you there." Mrs. Jung said.

Without being able to protest any further Taeyeon went with Jessica's mother to go to the hospital to get 

the cut under her foot treated.

---Phone in hand, handbag over her shoulder, the woman walked through the company building. Seeing 

it's fresh interior as it just had opened made her smile. When she walked past the employees of the 

company they all halted in what they were doing to send her a glance or if they were close enough they 

greeted her with a bow. Knowing her relationship to the owner of the company, she greeted them back 

like it could have been her own employees.

The phone in her hand vibrated and she looked down at the text messages she just had receiv ed. She 

quickly read through it, a relieved smile appeared on her lips, and she began type a reply to it. Her 

fingers moving quickly over the buttons. When the text had been sent she looked up and noticed she 

had arrived to her wanted destination.

A hand lifted and knuckles came in contact with the door with the sign 'Jung. K' on. After a few knocks 

the woman outside waited for a reply.

"Come in." A familiar voice said from inside. With a smile the woman went inside the office.

The office room wasn't that big, but it definitely suited the woman occupying it. Behind the desk that 

were in the middle of the room was a woman with brown hair. Piles of papers and folders were 

surrounding the woman on the desk. A compute was in the middle of the towers of papers  and the 

woman by the desk was busy typing on it.

The woman in the room looked up when the person had entered. A shocked expression appeared on 

her face while the woman that just had entered smiled at her while walking to the empty chair in front of 

the woman's desk which she took a seat on.

"Unnie what are you doing here?" Krystal asked when she saw her sister were the person that had 

entered her office. Jessica continued to smile while looking around the small room. On the wall beside 

Krystal's desk hung plans of upcoming projects. Seeing most of the projects had her sister's name on 

them Jessica proudly smiled at her sister.

"I'm just here to check how you're doing." Jessica said with a sweet smile. Krystal looked around her 

desk with works before her eyes landed on her sister again.

"Well, it's going well, just a lot to do." Krystal said. Jessica nodded knowingly.

"Yeah, me and Tiffany said it would be like that the first months. They will test how well you can handle 

the pressure." Jessica said. Kr ystal nodded and closed the folder she had been reading before Jessica 

had entered and placed it to the side.

"Yeah, they're really doing that." Krystal said with a smile. Jessica smiled back and leaned back in the 

chair.

"So I met mom this morning, she told me something about you and Sulli." Jessica said and tilted her 

head to the side. The woman behind the desk looked questioning at first as she didn't know what it 

could be that their mother had told her sister, but she quickly remembered what she had t old her 

mother before she had went to work. An embarrassed smile appeared on Krystal's face and she shyly 

looked down at her hands.

"Well, it just felt right." Krystal said and shrugged her shoulders. Jessica nodded her head.

"So it's serious this time?" Jessica asked the younger woman. Krystal let out a sigh and looked up at 

her older sister.

"Yes, this time it's serious. Otherwise I wouldn't have suggested moving in together in the first place. I 

just feel that Sulli deserves it, I also think I deserve  it. Our relationship deserves it. We've been through 

some things already and that we're still able to even talk to each other is a miracle. At least to me." 

Krystal said with a crooked smile. The older sister nodded knowingly.

"If you feel that you want this, then you should do it. Because moving in together is one of the big steps 

in a relationship." Jessica said. Krystal nodded her head understanding.

"Yeah." Krystal mused. Jessica smiled at her sister and her gaze averted to her left hand, the ring on

her finger reminding her of the second thing she was here for.

"By the way, have you read the newspaper today?" Jessica asked casually. Krystal shook her head 

while glancing at her handbag that were on the floor beside the desk. The newspaper Sulli had been 

reading that morning was sticking out from the bag. Krystal was supposed to read it for lunch.

"No, not yet at least." Krystal said.

"Well, on the gossip page were some rumors and mom came over to my and Taeyeon's place today to 

clear them up." Jessica said. Krystal furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and moved her chair to get 

the bag off of the floor and took the newspaper and opened the gossip page.

She couldn't unnotice the picture of her sister and sister's girlfriend that was on the page, the big title 

with the bolded letters also made it impossible to not notice the article. Krystal glanced at the older 

woman sitting in front of her. Jessica just smiled at her.

"So, it's only a rumor?" Krystal said and dropped her bag with the newspaper inside  to the floor. A 

sheepish smile appeared on Jessica's face.

"Well, for the public it is. But for closer family members and friends it shouldn't be." Jessica said and 

held up her left hand. Krystal's eyes travelled from her sister's face to the hand that was held up. 

Seeing the ring on Jessica's finger, the same one she had seen in the newspaper, her eyes widened 

and she looked back at her sister.

"Oh my God, you're really engaged?!" Krystal exclaimed upon the realization.

"Yeah." Jessica said with a smile on her lips.

The younger woman jumped up from her seat on the other side of the desk and almost flew over to 

Jessica and hugged the older woman around the neck. Almost strangling her sister Krystal continued to 

hug Jessica tightly around the neck while trying to express how happy she was with words Jessica 

barely could comprehend in Krystal's excitement.

"When's the wedding?" Krystal asked and finally moved away from her sister to give her a chance to 

breathe.

"We haven't decided on it. But we'll probably talk about it soon now when our friends and family knows 

about it." Jessica said and held Krystal's hands. Krystal nodded satisfied, a smile was still on her lips 

while she looked at her sister.

"I've been waiting for this! You must make me your maid of honor!" Krystal said and lightly slapped 

Jessica's shoulder. Jessica laughed but stopped when a realization came up, her eyes widening.

"But... I promised Tiffany on her wedding that I'd make her my maid of honor if I get married." Jessica 

said and looked up at her little sister. The younger sister's excited expression turned into a disappointed 

one; her shoulders slumping and her lips formed a frown.

"Why?" Krystal asked and snatched her hands away from her sister's hold. Jessica looked apologetic at 

the younger woman.

"Because she made me her maid of honor." Jessica said with an apologetic smile.

"But I'm your sister!" Krystal protested.

"You know, Tiffany also has a sister. But even so she chose me as her maid of honor." Jessica tried to 

reason.

"Whatever! It was her decision, but you should have your free will to choose whoever you want to be 

your maid of honor and not feeling obliged to choose your best friend just because she chose you!" 

Krystal said and made her way to her seat by the desk. Jessica continued to look apologetic at her little 

sister.

"But Krys-"

"I don't want to hear it. Get out of my office!" Krystal protested. The sisters stared at each other, Krystal 

sending glares to her older sister while Jessica continued to look apologetic.

A sigh left Jessica's lips, but she remained seated and didn't show any sign of leaving.

"Krys, do you even have time to be my maid of honor? Do you know how much work it is? You have 

your job now, and you're going to fix your relationship with Sulli, and your rehab to think about. As I see 

it you won't really have time for that." Jessica said in a calm tone. Krystal seemed to relax in her seat 

when she saw the big picture of it all. Jessica smiled understanding at her sister when Krystal showed 

she wasn't as mad as before.

"Just because I won't make you my maid of honor it doesn't mean I'll leave you completely out of my 

wedding planning. You are after all my sister, and I want to hear your good opinions too." Jessica said 

with a smile. Krystal bent her head down, not wanting to look her older sister in the eyes now.

"You understand, right? Just because I'm getting married it doesn't mean that you should stop with 

everything you're trying to accomplish in your life, you need to priority things." A small nod was 

Jessica's answer. Satisfied with the respons Jessica smiled.

Getting up from her seat Jessica made her way to Krystal's seat and put her arm around Krystal's 

shoulders and bent down to her sister's level.

"You and Tiffany need to share me with each other, just like when we were small, you remember right?" 

Jessica said. A small smile tugged on Krystal's lips and she nodded. "You remember what mom always 

said when you were mad that Tiffany always got to hang out with me?"

"That if I don't share you with Tiffany she needs to cut you in two." Krystal said with a smile.

"Yeah, and I don't think I can find a good wedding dress if I were to be cut in half. Also I don't think 

Taeyeon would want that either..."

Krystal chuckled and turned to face her sister. Her disappointment was washed away and she nodded 

while smiling at her sister. Seeing that Krystal finally had agreed on letting her make Tiffany the maid of 

honor Jessica wrapped both her arms around the younger woman and hugged her.

"Good. Now when that's been settled I'll let you go back to your work." Jessica said and smiled at her 

sister. Krystal nodded her head and watched as Jessica left for the door.

---The chestnut haired opened the door to the apartment and entered. Just by the sight in the hallway 

Jessica knew she wasn't alone when she had gotten home. With a smile on her face she happily 

skipped towards the living room. There on the couch she found a blonde woman lying outstretched on 

her back, her left foot that was bandaged was resting on the armrest.

Seeing that Taeyeon seemed to sleep Jessica slowly made her way to the blonde woman. With careful 

hands Jessica took away the papers Taeyeon had fallen asleep with in her hands, when the papers 

was out of the woman's hands Jessica proceed to remove the glasses Taeyeon was wearing.

Just when Jessica had grabbed the glasses with the black frame a pair of hands was brought up 

towards her and stopped her from removing them. Her eyes widened when she found herself staring 

into Taeyeon's now open ones. A smile appeared on her face when she saw the blonde woman smile 

tiredly at her.

Her hands was removed from Taeyeon's eyeglasses and the woman lying down pulled her down to the 

couch. Taeyeon had now closed her eyes again, but her hands was s ecurely wrapped around Jessica's 

waist. Jessica studied the woman that seemed to have gotten back to sleep.

"If you're gonna sleep you should remove your glasses." Jessica pointed out with a smile.

"Mhmm." Was Taeyeon's response. Jessica smiled and remov ed the eyeglasses that she placed on the 

coffee table on top of the papers she earlier had taken away from the sleeping woman. Now with no 

spectacles to worry about Jessica rested her head against Taeyeon's shoulder while listening to the 

regular breath of the woman beneath her.

"Taengoo." Jessica whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Can you stay awake a few minutes to talk?" Jessica asked. The blonde woman's eyes fluttered open, 

making Jessica smile satisfied. "It won't be long. I promise." Jessica assured and patted Taeyeon's 

shoulder. The blonde woman gave a small nod in response. 

"First I want to ask how work went. Did it go well even though your foot was injured?" Jessica asked 

and glanced towards the bandaged foot. A small smile appeared on Taeyeon's face.

"Yeah, lucky me that I'm not a runner." Taeyeon said tiredly. Jessica smiled and nodded her head.

"And the second thing I want to say is that I love you." Jessica said and kissed Taeyeon's chin before 

she moved up to Taeyeon's lips. When she broke the kiss the blonde woman chuckled.

"I love you too." Taeyeon said and wrapped her arms tighter around Jessica body. She closed her eyes 

again and Jessica was left with watching the blonde woman sleep. The chestnut haired woman took 

time to study Taeyeon features, even though she already knew them inside and out. When she had 

enough of only looking she carefully traced the sides of Taeyeon's face with her fingers. She could feel 

Taeyeon shiver; making her smile triumphantly.

"Mid October." Taeyeon suddenly said. The statement made Jessica stop in her action and she looked 

questiongly at the blonde woman that still had her eyes closed. "The wedding, I want to have it in mid 

October." Taeyeon said and opened her eyes.

"Okay, any special reason for that?" Jessica asked while now playing with Taeyeon's hair.

"That was the first time we got together." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica furrowed her eyebrows in 

confusion.

"No, we got together May-"

"No, the first time. First first time." Taeyeon said. Understanding what T aeyeon meant Jessica widened 

her eyes.

"Oh. You remember that?" Jessica asked quite amazed that Taeyeon still remembered that. Taeyeon 

only smiled.

"Of course I'd remember that. I was nervous, I was confessing my feelings to you, you ran away, two 

hours later you showed up and kissed me. It's worth to remember." Taeyeon said with a smile. 

Embarrassed by how her thirteenth year old self had acted at that time Jessica buried her head into 

Taeyeon's shoulder while she felt her cheeks flushed red.

"God, we were so young that time." Jessica mumbled. Taeyeon nodded her head.

"Yeah, we were young. But turns out that our feelings wasn't that stupid after all. It was not some 

teenage love." Taeyeon said and stared up at Jessica that now had lifted her head up. Th e chestnut 

haired woman smiled and placed her hands on Taeyeon's cheeks and cupped the face.

"Yeah, but it's hard because you always make me feel like I'm a teenager high on hormones, that we're 

about to reach our thirties is unbelievable."Jessica said. Taeyeon smiled knowingly.

"I know. We're still living in our teenage love. Maybe this wedding will make us change it into a more 

mature love?" Taeyeon said and tilted her head. A disapproving frown appeared on Jessica's lips.

"No, I like it as it is now. If it's going to change I want it to change by itself, not that we're intentionally 

changing it to suit the status we're having." Jessica said. Taeyeon nodded agreeing.

"True, let's leave it at that." Taeyeon said and pursued her lips. Jessica smiled as s he knew what 

Taeyeon was waiting for. And like the blonde woman wanted she leaned closer and planted a kiss on 

the waiting lips.

"About the wedding, you now mid October is like three months away." Jessica pointed out when she 

had broken the kiss. Taeyeon's eyebrows furrowed.

"I was thinking mid October next year." Taeyeon said. Jessica smiled and caressed Taeyeon's cheek.

"I want to get married this year, my love." Jessica said while looking lovingly into Taeyeon's eyes. 

Taeyeon couldn't help but smile when seeing Jessica's smile.

"Then we gotta hurry up." Taeyeon said and slightly shifted under Jessica. Jessica smiled and kissed 

Taeyeon's lips once again.

"I like it when you always can compromise and make the best out for both of us." Jessica said when  she 

broke the kiss. Taeyeon smiled and placed the side of her face against Jessica's.

"Yeah, that's how relationships should be." Taeyeon said. Jessica could only nod in agreement.

TaengSic part 9

The typing on a laptop was heard in the living room of the Jung residence. When the typing stopped the 

woman looked up at the other five women that were in the room. The brunette woman that had typed 

nodded towards the chestnut haired woman that was seated on the couch beside the blonde woman.

"Oh, yeah. So I guess here is where the wedding planning starts?" Jessica said when she had gotten 

the sign that her sister was ready to listen. She looked at her mother, Tiffany and Yuri that were the 

other women in the room. All of them smiled at her. She turned to the person sitting beside her, her 

fiancée smiling widely at her.

"I guess you finally have come up with a date with for the wedding now." Mrs. Jung said and leaned 

back in the armchair she was seated on. The engaged couple only smiled and nodded their heads.

"Yeah, actually we come up with it earlier, but we thought the planning could wait until Taeyeon's foot 

had healed a bit." Jessica said and glanced at Taeyeon that sat beside her. The blonde woman nodded 

her head. "Because when you find out when we want to have the wedding you will probably drag us 

around and we'll probably not be able to sit down." Jessica added.

"Gosh, Jessi, you make it sound like you want to have the wedding in December." Tiffany said. 

Taeyeon and Jessica exchanged glances before they looked at the four women waiting for the date 

they have been waiting for for so long.

"No, not December. We want to have it in mid October." Jessica said. To her comfort Taeyeon held her 

hand as both feared the reaction of Jessica's family members and their friends.

It was silent for a few seconds, but like on cue both Mrs. Jung and Tiffany stood up from their seats and 

started yelling at them for how crazy that is, and it's way too soon, and how impossible it is to get 

everything ready in that short amount of time.

Impossible to hear what the two women were saying when both of them was yelling at the same time, 

Taeyeon and Jessica could only watch. They had expected this kind of reaction from either Jessica's 

mother or Tiffany. They knew it was a bit soon, but that's what they wanted.

When the two women had stopped yelling they panted heavily and looked at the engaged couple like 

they were crazy. Jessica and Taeyeon continued to smile at Jessica's mother and Tiffany like they 

hadn't heard a word of what they had said, which was almost true.

"Can you two calm down and take a seat so we can explain why it is so soon?" Jessica asked the two 

women in a calm tone. Realizing they might have acted in a stupid manner Tiffany and Mrs. Jung took a 

seat and tried to calm down. Satisfied that the two women had listened to her Jessica smiled.

"So what I wanted to say is-"

"It's crazy Jessi, you can't have the wedding that soon. Me and Yuri's wedding took almost a year to 

prepare." Tiffany butt in before Jessica had been able to finish her sentence. The chestnut haired 

woman sighed.

"Yeah, I know but me and Taeyeon don't want a wedding like the one you and Yuri had." Jessica 

explained and glanced at her fiancée. Taeyeon smiled at her and squeezed her hand she was holding.

"What kind of wedding do you want then?" Mrs. Jung asked. All four women looked confused at the 

engaged couple.

"We want it simple. We just want to invite a few guests, not too many. We don't want to invite over 

thousands people like they did." Jessica said and pointed at the married couple in the room.

"That wasn't my fault, it was my dad that invited all those people." Tiffany defended herself.

"Yeah, but that's why I'm saying this right now. We don't want anything big, just invite our closest friends 

and family members. We don't want anything over 50 people." Jessica said. Taeyeon nodded her head 

agreeing to what Jessica was saying.

The four women looked at Taeyeon and Jessica like they were talking another language. They were all 

used to big and fancy things when it come to ceremonies like this, that Taeyeon and Jessica wanted 

something simple and small was confusing them.

"It sounds cheap." Krystal finally broke the silence that had engulfed the room. The five older women 

looked at the youngest one in the room. Seeing their looks Krystal shrugged her shoulders and typed 

something on the laptop she had in her lap.

"Just saying." Krystal said. Mrs. Jung smiled at her youngest daughter while Jessica sighed.

"You know Krystal, it isn't the price on the wedding that counts, it's the ceremony. Just because the 

wedding is cheap it doesn't mean that the wedding will be less worth." Taeyeon explained to the 

younger woman. Krystal raised an eyebrow in confusion while Jessica smiled proudly at Taeyeon.

"Even if the wedding looks cheap to outsiders, it's what it means to the people getting married that 

counts. Get it?" Taeyeon tried to explain to the woman that looked at her confused. Finally getting what 

Taeyeon was trying to say Krystal nodded her head.

"Look who's gotten wise." Mrs. Jung said with a smile. Taeyeon laughed embarrassed and looked at 

Jessica that continued to smile at her.

"But it's true though, simple things are the ones that you remember the most." Taeyeon said. Jessica 

nodded her head agreeing.

The others in the room could only nod their head in agreement to what the blonde woman had said. 

Taeyeon smiled at Jessica that smiled back at her.

"So, about the wedding, except for when to have it have you decided on anything el se?" Mrs. Jung 

asked.

"Yes, we'll exchange the rings we aren't using." Jessica said with a smile. Again the four women in the 

room looked at her like she came from another part of the universe.

"That sounds cheap, and weird." Krystal once again broke the silence with her comment. She earned a 

disapproving glare from her older sister.

"If you don't have anything else to say than that be quiet." Jessica ordered and looked at her mother 

that still looked confused.

"You see, because me and Taeyeon both proposed to each other we're supposed to have two sets of 

rings each, but we're only using one right now, so we thought that we could exchange the other sets of 

the rings on the wedding." Jessica explained.

"Why not just buy new rings?" Mrs. Jung asked still  a bit confused.

"Because she's become cheap." Krystal said before Jessica got to answer her mother. Another glare 

was sent from the older sister to the younger that seemed oblivious to it.

"No, because those rings means more to us than buying a new pair. " Jessica said and sent a final glare 

to her sister before she looked at her mother that nodded understanding.

"I see, well if that's what you want then it should be like that. Anything else?" Mrs. Jung asked. Taeyeon 

and Jessica looked at each other before they turned back to Jessica's mother, both shaking their 

heads.

"We haven't really discussed anything else than that. We thought we could brainstorm a bit with you 

and see if we can come up with an idea." Taeyeon explained.

Knowing their purpose there the four women nodded their heads and looked at each other to see if 

anyone had anything to say.

"Have you decided where to have the wedding?" Yuri asked and turned to the engaged couple.

"Sica wants to have it in San Francisco." Taeyeon said and nodded  towards her finacée that nodded 

her head in agreement.

"Krys look up good wedding places in San Francisco." Mrs. Jung ordered her younger daughter. The 

youngest woman in the room typed in on the computer in search for a good place her sister could have 

the wedding.

"Why can't you have a fancy but small wedding? Like the fancy part of the wedding represents the 

world Jessica is from while the simple part represents the world Taeyeon is from and the wedding is like 

the ceremony that combines those two worl ds into one." Krystal muttered while still looking at the 

screen of her laptop.

When no one was saying anything the youngest woman looked up and noticed everyone was staring at 

her. She looked at everyone questioning to their stares.

"What?" Krystal asked and turned to her older sister.

"You know Krys, sometimes you're so smart that it even amazes me. That idea is excellent!" Jessica 

praised. "I think we should go with Krystal's idea. What do you think?" Jessica asked and turned to 

Taeyeon. The blonde woman smiled and nodded her head.

"Yeah, I think the idea was great too. It has a deep meaning to it." Taeyeon said and looked at Krystal 

and smiled at her. Seeing that her sister and her sister's fiancée liked her idea Krystal also smiled.

"I actually got the idea from this fantasy book I'm reading." Krystal admitted. The smiles on Taeyeon 

and Jessica faces faded and the room went silent again.

"Yeah, Krystal, can you look for a place that 50 people can fit in?" Mrs. Jung broke the awkward silence 

that had engulfed the room.

The typing from Krystal's laptop was heard. When she stopped she looked at the screen for a few 

minutes before she turned the laptop towards her sister. Seeing that Krystal had found some places to 

have the wedding at both Taeyeon and Jessica leaned forward to see them better.

"Hey, that is by the beach." Jessica said and pointed at a place on the screen. Taeyeon nodded her 

head with her eyes glued to the screen.

"That is also by the beach. Should we have it by the beach?" Taeyeon as ked and looked at her fiancée. 

Jessica furrowed her eyebrows while still looking at the screen.

"Isn't that too common?" Jessica asked and looked at Taeyeon. When she turned to Taeyeon her eyes 

widened when she saw another person enter the living room. Seeing Jessica's face Taeyeon turned 

towards where Jessica was looking and her eyes landed on the same person Jessica was looking at.  

The engaged couples reaction made the three other women facing the door to the living room also look 

that way, seeing who it was that had entered everyone kept quiet. Mrs. Jung looked to what seemed to 

have made the younger women stop talking, noticing it was just her husband a frown appeared on her 

face.

"If you're not gonna participate in a nice and encouraging way I don' t want you here." Mrs. Jung said to 

Mr. Jung. Mr. Jung stopped by the door, he swirled the content in the glass he was holding while he 

watched all the women in the room. Seeing that he wouldn't leave Mrs. Jung turned to Jessica.

"Sica, don't invite your father to the wedding. I'm sure he doesn't want to go anyway. I can tell my 

brother that he can walk you down the aisle instead." Mrs. Jung said to her eldest daughter. Jessica 

exchanged glances with her sister before both of them turned to their mother ag ain.

"Uhm.. mom." Jessica began and glanced at her father that still stood by the door.

"Yes, hon?" Mrs. Jung said and turned to Jessica.

"I don't want my wedding to make it complicated between you and dad." Jessica said and glanced at 

Krystal. The younger sister giving an understanding nod to what Jessica said.

"Don't feel like that. It's not your fault." Mrs. Jung assured her daughter. Jessica frowned and glanced at 

Taeyeon that gave her a sympathetic look. The chestnut haired woman looked at the man  in the room.

"Dad..." Jessica called her father. Seeing the man turn and leave the room she let out a frustrated sigh. 

Mrs. Jung shook her head when she saw how naïve her husband was acting.

"See, he is acting just like a kid." Mrs. Jung said. Jessica sighed again.

"I'll go talk to him." Jessica stated and stood up from her seat. She looked at Taeyeon that gave her an 

encouraging smile before she went the way her father had gone.

---The chestnut haired woman arrived in front of the door to her father's office room. She looked at the 

wooden door, she reminisced about all those times she had stood outside this door, waiting for a right 

moment to enter, or those times she had wished for anything else than not to enter. A sigh left her lips 

and she knocked three times on the door before entering the room.

Her father was sitting behind his desk when she entered. He didn't seem to take notice of her presence 

when Jessica took a seat in the chair on the other side of the desk. The elderly man continued to stare 

at the painting that was on the wall beside his desk. Jessica glanced at the painting her father stared at 

before her eyes settled back at him.

"Dad, can we talk?" Jessica asked carefully.

"What is there to talk about?" The man asked without tearing  his eyes away from the painting. A frown 

appeared on Jessica's lips and she looked at the painting as well.

"My wedding is one thing to talk about." Jessica said and glanced at the man. His face was blank and 

he lifted up the glass he had in his hand and took a sip of it before bringing it down and resting it 

against the armrest.

"And the other thing?" He asked nonchalantly. Jessica sighed and slumped further down her seat.

"Your dislike towards it." Jessica said and averted her gaze to her father.

The man remained silent and instead took a sip of his glass. Jessica kept her eyes on the silent man 

that didn't seem to say anything. Her mind had even started to consider what her mother had said 

before about not inviting her father to the wedding if he continued being like this.

"Can't we talk about it like adults?" Jessica asked the silent man. A sigh left the man's lips and he finally 

turned around to face his daughter; still no expression was shown on his face, very much like how 

Jessica was looking right now.

"It's not that I dislike it. I just don't think you're ready to get married yet." Mr. Jung said.

"Why not? You were the one asking Taeyeon to propose to me. Now she has. What's the problem? 

How are we any less ready now than when we were when you asked us to get married?" Jessica 

asked. Mr. Jung sighed and rubbed his head with his free hand.

"The misunderstanding. It wouldn't have happened if you truly trust and understand each other. If you 

don't have those things in the relationship it won't work out." Mr. Jung stated and leaned back in his 

chair. Jessica nodded her head understanding what her father was coming from.

"I see your point. But me and Taeyeon do trust each other, and we understand each other to the point 

that we almost seem telepathic. And during that misunderstanding that happened our trust for each 

other was a bit strained, but it's always something we work on. We work on it everyday. And we're 

trying hard for misunderstandings like that to not happen again." Jessica explained. Mr.  Jung listened to 

his daughter in silence; nodding his head in acknowledge when Jessica had stopped talking.

"Can you tell Taeyeon I'm sorry for before? When I punched her." Mr. Jung asked and averted his gaze 

to the carpeted floor of the room. A small sm ile appeared on Jessica's lips.

"No." The daughter stated. Mr. Jung looked up at Jessica again; seeing her smiling at him. "Tell her 

yourself. Because you need to start communicating with her. Because no matter what you think, she's 

gonna become your daughter-in -law." Jessica said.

The man chuckled. His chuckle bringing a smile to Jessica's face as well and the father and daughter 

smiled at each other.

"You're always disobeying me. What am I going to do with you?" Mr. Jung asked with a smile on his 

lips.

"Hoping my future wife will have better control over me?" Jessica said with a smile. Mr. Jung chuckled 

and nodded his head.

"Hopefully Taeyeon will have better control over you." Mr. Jung said and looked at his daughter with a 

smile. The father and daughter beamed smiles at each other.

"I think you should go back." Mr. Jung said and pointed at the door. Jessica nodded and stood up from 

her seat.

"Aren't you coming?" Jessica asked before she turned to go to the door. Mr. Jung shook his head.

"Wedding planning has never been my thing. I better leave it to the females." He said with a smile. 

Jessica nodded her head understanding before she began walking to the door. She halted with her 

hand on the doorknob and turned to the man behind the desk.

"Dad, are we okay?" Jessica asked. Mr. Jung smiled and took a sip of his glass and swallowed the 

liquid.

"Everything for your happiness, dear." Mr. Jung said with a smile. Jessica returned the smile before 

twisting the doorknob and exiting the office.  

---The couple took their seats in the white BMW M Boss that stood parked outside of Jessica's parents 

house. Jessica that were the one sitting in the driver's seat started the engine and started driving in 

reverse to get out the car from the place it had parked.  Finally outside she began driving towards the 

direction of where her and Taeyeon's apartment was located.

"I thought we never would get away from there." Jessica said after a while. The woman in the 

passenger seat chuckled and nodded her head in agreement.

"Yes. But I guess they got a bit stressed when we told them how soon we want to have the wedding." 

Taeyeon said with sympathy towards their friends and family. Jessica slowly nodded her head.

"Yeah. I guess we will have our hands full of things to do  now." Jessica said with a frown. Taeyeon 

nodded her head.

"But even though I will have my hands full I will still continue to hold one of your hands." Taeyeon said 

cheekily and looked at the woman in the driver seat. Unable to keep a straight face by the  comment 

Jessica started smiling and she glanced at the blonde woman.

"Cheesy much?" Jessica said and averted her gaze back to the road.

"If it continues to make your heart beat fast I'll continue to say those kind of things forever." Taeyeon 

said with a grin. A slap landed on her thigh making her laugh by Jessica's reaction.

"Can't you see I'm driving?" Jessica asked and tried to hide the smile forming on her lips.

"Driving me till I'm crazy in love?" Taeyeon said.

Jessica slapped Taeyeon's thigh again, but when she was going to remove the hand another hand was 

keeping it there. She glanced at her hand and noticed Taeyeon holding it.

"I need that hand when I'm driving." Jessica said tugged at her hand a bit. Taeyeon smiled and placed 

her free hand on the gear stick where Jessica's hand was supposed to be.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Taeyeon said with a grin. Jessica glanced at the gear stick where 

Taeyeon's hand was now on. A panicked expression appeared on Jessica's face and she looked back 

and forth between the road and the gear stick.

"Taeyeon that's dangerous, you're going to get us into an accident." Jessica said panicked and tried to 

pull away her hand that Taeyeon was still holding.

"Don't worry. Just trust me. Think of this as a test.  You trust me right?" Taeyeon said. Jessica stopped 

pulling at her hand and focused her eyes on the road. She sighed and slowly nodded her head.

A satisfied smile appeared on Taeyeon's face. "Good, now relax and let me take care of this. I promise 

we won't get into an accident if you just focus on driving and I'll focus on gearing."

Jessica exhaled and nodded her head. She felt her body relax as she calmed down and she did as 

Taeyeon told her to; focusing at driving. She quickly noticed driving went as sm oothly as it had done 

when she had been in control of the gearing stick. Driving like this actually did work.

---Handbag was dropped to the floor and feet continued walking towards the bedroom. The feet stopped 

moving when she felt her legs hit against the bed and she let her body fall forwards on top of the bed. 

She let out a relieved sigh when she felt her body not moving anymore.

She heard shuffling of feet coming behind her and soon a weight was added beside her. She didn't turn 

her head to look at the person and continued to let the person look at the back of her head.

"Aren't you going to change out of your clothes?" Taeyeon asked and poked at the immobile Jessica. 

The chestnut haired woman remained immobile on the bed while Taeyeon continued to poke her back.

"We managed to get home in one piece. I told you it would be okay." Taeyeon's reassuring voice said. 

Still Jessica remained unresponsive.

Taeyeon sighed and got up from the bed and proceed to change out of her clothes. She went to their 

walk-in -closet and tried to find a set of clothes to change into while she undressed.

Jessica felt the missing presence beside her and she lifted her head and turned it to look where 

Taeyeon had went. Seeing her fiancée undressing she turned around and furrowed her eyebrows when 

she saw Taeyeon putting on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.

"Aren't we going to sleep?" Jessica asked when she saw Taeyeon approaching. The blonde woman 

smiled at her and stopped beside her by the bed.

"Yes, we are." Taeyeon said and leaned down to kiss Jessica on the forehead.

"But why are you dressed like that then?" Jessica asked and tugged to Taeyeon's t -shirt. Taeyeon 

smiled and grabbed ahold of the hand holding her clothes and released it from its hold before 

intertwining her fingers with it.

"Because you seem so tired." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica frowned while looking at their 

intertwined hands.

"I am but..." Jessica trailed off when Taeyeon placed a kiss on her lips and pushed her down to lie on 

the bed again. The kiss broke and Jessica found herself lying on her back with Taeyeon's arm wrapped 

around her waist.

"I need to change out of my clothes." Jessica mumbled and started playing with the fingers on 

Taeyeon's hand. She felt the blonde woman lying beside her nodding her head. "Help me?" Jessica 

asked and turned her head to look at Taeyeon.

"Can't promise that won't lead to anything else than just undressing." Taeyeon mumbled. Jessica let out 

a sigh and turned her head to look up at the ceiling. She nibbled on her lower lip while she continued to 

contemplating her options.

"Let's grab a snack so I will get some energy." Jessica said and lightly slapped Taeyeon's arm to tell the 

woman to remove it. Slowly released Taeyeon Jessica from her hold and lifted her head while she 

watched Jessica get out of bed. Feeling that Taeyeon didn't follow her Jessica turned around and 

looked at the blonde woman on the bed.

"Aren't you coming?" Jessica asked when Taeyeon didn't move. The blonde woman shook her head 

and laid her head back down.

"No, you go eat. I'll stay here. I think there's some cherry pie left that you can eat." Taeyeon mumbled. 

Jessica shrugged her shoulders and made her way to the kitchen, she felt that putting energy into 

forcing Taeyeon to eat with her wasn't worth it. There was other things she could invest in with that 

energy.

When Jessica had found the cherry pie and taken a bite from it, she returned to the bedroom with it and 

took a seat on the bed while munching on it. She noticed her presence made the woman lying on the 

bed move and look at her. With a smile Jessica held out a bite of the cherry pie towards Taeyeon to 

eat.

"We have a kitchen to eat in you know." Taeyeon said but ate the bite she was offered anyway. Jessica 

shrugged her shoulders and continued to eat her cherry pie happily.

"But there's no you in that kitchen. It would be lonely to eat there all by myself." Jessica said and 

pouted. Taeyeon chuckled and placed her head back down and wrapped one arm around Jessica's 

legs that were outstretched beside her.

"I guess." She chimed and closed her eyes while she waited for Jessica to finish eating the pie.

Seeing her pie was slowly disappearing from the plate Jessica glanced at the immobile blonde woman 

that was hugging her legs. She ate the last bite of her piece of pie and nudged Taeyeon. Taeyeon lifted 

her head and looked at the chestnut haired woman that had wanted her attention.

"Are you finished?" Taeyeon asked and looked at the empty plate. Jessica nodded her head with a 

smile. "Good, go leave the plate in the kitchen." Taeyeon said and laid her head back down.

"I was thinking you could do it for me." Jessica said with a wide smile.

Silence filled between them and they continued to sit and lie immobile. Jessica kept her eyes on the 

blonde woman while she waited for her answer. Soon Taeyeon started to slowly move.

"Fine. Just because it's you." Taeyeon said and took the plate from Jessica's hand and got out of bed to 

leave it in the kitchen. With a wide smile Jessica waited on the bed for Taeyeon to return after leaving 

the plate.

Jessica heard Taeyeon turn off the lights in the rest of the apartment before the blonde woman returned 

to the bedroom. Seeing Taeyeon enter Jessica extended her arms towards Taeyeon that walked up to 

her to let her engulf her in a hug. A kiss was shared between them and when they  broke it Taeyeon 

licked her lips and looked at Jessica that waited for another kiss.

"You taste like cherries." Taeyeon commented.

"Now we know that cherry pie contains cherries." Jessica joked and brought Taeyeon closer for another 

kiss. Before the kiss deepened Taeyeon broke the kiss again making a groan escape from Jessica.

"What is it?" Jessica asked and looked at Taeyeon that had an apologetic expression.

"Sorry, but the cherry pie ruined it." Taeyeon apologized. Jessica sighed and released Taeyeo n from 

her hold. The blonde woman rolled on her side and hugged Jessica's waist. The chestnut haired 

woman heaved another sigh.

"What if it had been apple pie then?" Jessica asked and looked at the woman lying beside her. 

Taeyeon shook her head.

"No pie." Taeyeon stated.

Jessica sighed while she tried to come up with something else that could bring up the mood again. Not 

coming up with something at the moment she moved so she could lie down next to Taeyeon.

"Cherries are supposed to be seductive." Jess ica said while staring up at the ceiling. "But I guess it 

doesn't count when it's pie." She later stated and glanced at the blonde woman lying beside her. She 

turned to lie on her side to face the blonde woman completely.

"We should just sleep." Jessica said and kissed the blonde woman's lips. Taeyeon nodded her head 

and nuzzled closer to Jessica that now placed her arms around the blonde.

"What about your clothes?" Taeyeon asked and opened her eyes to look at the chestnut haired woman. 

Jessica heaved a sigh and eyed her attire.

"When I get too uncomfortable I'll change out of them myself." Jessica stated and laid her head down 

on the pillow. Knowing Jessica would be fine on her own Taeyeon closed her eyes again and wrapped 

her arms tighter around Jessica's waist.

Jessica also closed her eyes and the couple proceeds to sleep to restore their energy for their 

upcoming hectic schedule for the wedding preparations.

TaengSic part 10

The chestnut haired woman sighed while she once again turned page in the binder that showed her 

different kind of tableware. She tried to look for a good one that would fit the simple but fancy wedding 

she and Taeyeon was going to have. By the outlook for how it had gone for her, she was starting to 

considering hiring someone to make something that could be fitting for their wedding as she couldn't 

find something herself.

Letting out a loud sigh she closed the binder and placed it away only to take another  one and opening 

it, that also showing different kind of tableware. With a bored look Jessica skimmed through the pages 

while trying hard to find something fitting.

Getting frustrated by still not finding anything Jessica closed the binder and placed it on top of the other 

while she instead turned on the computer in hope of finding something on the internet instead. Her mind 

was telling her to leave this matter and let Tiffany or her mother handle it, but knowing how much those 

two women already had to do she continued to look for the tableware.

"Does everything have to be this perfect?" Jessica asked herself and skimmed through what she had 

found.

A knock on the door brought Jessica's attention to the woman now entering the office. Her face instantly 

brighten up upon seeing the blonde woman coming to visit her. She smiled wide when Taeyeon came 

to give her a hug and a kiss before the woman took a seat on the chair in front of her desk.

"God, your mother drove me crazy." Taeyeon said and released a reliev ed sigh.

"Let me guess, you tried on the wedding dress today?" Jessica asked and glanced at the blonde 

woman. Shocked that she knew, Taeyeon's eyes widened.

"Yes, how did you know?" Taeyeon asked surprised. Jessica smiled while focusing her eyes on the 

computer screen.

"Because I tried on mine yesterday, and while I was in the changing room I heard my mom talk on the 

phone. I kind of heard her talk about you and wedding dresses so I figured it out." Jessica said with a 

smile. Taeyeon nodded understanding.

"I see." Taeyeon mused and focused her eyes on the woman that was looking at the computer screen. 

"What are you doing?" Taeyeon finally asked.

"Looking for tableware." Jessica said. Taeyeon nodded her head as she remembered Jessica had been 

assigned the task of finding the tableware. Remembering her own task she bent down to her handbag 

she had placed on the floor and picked out a folder.

"By the way, I fixed the flowers. Here's the ones I chose, and this is the ones you wanted." Taeyeon 

said and handed Jessica the folder. Jessica opened the folder and looked at the pictures of the different 

flowers. Under the flowers was a description of them and the flowers meaning. Jessica nodded her 

head approving and handed back the folder to Taeyeon.

"They are perfect." Jessica praised with a smile. Taeyeon smiled back and placed the folder back into 

her handbag.

The couple went back to sit in silence. All that was heard was the clicking sound that came from the 

mouse Jessica used for her computer while she looked at the tableware. Taeyeon patiently waited for 

her fiancée to find something she thought would fit for their wedding.

"Okay, I'm down to two. Can you help me now?" Jessica said and leaned back in her chair. Taeyeon 

stood up from her seat and made her way around the desk to be able to look at the computer screen.

"This or this one?" Jessica asked and showed the two different sets of tableware she had found. 

Taeyeon furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the two different sets.

"You know what, order twenty five of one and twenty five of the other. We can mix them." Taeyeon said 

with a smile and turned to look at Jessica. Jessica's eyebrows slightly raised as she heard her fiancée's 

suggestion.

"That's pretty good, but how should we mix them then?" Jessica asked and looked at the two sets on 

the screen.

"We'll figure out something." Taeyeon said and kissed Jessica's temple. Jessica smiled and did as 

Taeyeon had suggested.

When the order was sent she turned to Taeyeon and extended her arms to put them around Taeyeon's 

neck. Taeyeon smiled and leaned closer to Jessica so the chestnut haired woman would be able to put 

her arms better around her neck.

"It's good to have you here by my side. You're so full of great ideas." Jessica said and pecked 

Taeyeon's lips. Taeyeon smiled and gave Jessica's lips a small peck as well.

"I have other ideas too." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica smirked and leaned closer to Taeyeon's 

lips, she could feel them lightly brush against the other woman's lips.

"I hope there are ideas that involve you and me." Jessica said and backed away slightly when she felt 

Taeyeon coming closer. Taeyeon smirked and nodded her head.

"Some of them are." Taeyeon said and was finally allowed to close the distance between her and 

Jessica. Jessica smirked into the kiss when she could only imagine what ideas Taeyeon's might have 

for them.

Before the kiss could get out of hand the door to the office opened and the couple broke their make-out 

session and turned their heads towards the newly arrived person.

"Jessi, can you call-" Tiffany stopped in her tracks when she saw the engaged couple in each others 

embrace, both blushing like they had been caught doing something more than just kissing.

"Oh, Taeyeon's here too. Good, then you don't have to c all anyone." Tiffany said and made her way to 

her desk in the room.

Taeyeon and Jessica looked at each other before they slowly let go of one another. Jessica turned to 

the computer screen while Taeyeon was busy straighten out her clothes and returning to  the seat on 

the other side of the desk.

"You aren't going to do anything today, right?" Tiffany asked from the other side of the office. Taeyeon 

and Jessica looked at each other before they turned to the brown haired woman in the room.

"No, nothing special at least." Taeyeon answered for them. Tiffany nodded her head with a smile on her 

face.

"Good." She chimed and picked up her phone and dialed a number.

Taeyeon and Jessica exchanged glances again before they shrugged their shoulders and went back to 

doing their things. When they heard Tiffany talking to someone on the phone both of them tried to 

ignore the conversation, but hearing their names being mentioned they couldn't help but listen a bit.  

"Don't worry, I'll bring them. Just go after the plan l ike what we said. Yes, Taeyeon's also here. Yes, I 

have her things too." Tiffany said with a smile. Jessica and Taeyeon once again looked at each other 

before they turned to Tiffany again. Her phone call was ending and when she had hung up she looked 

at the two people that were staring at here.

Tiffany smiled at them before she made her way out of the office again. Jessica and Taeyeon knew she 

would return as Tiffany had left behind her belongings. The couple sat in silence as they waited for the 

brunette woman to return.

After a few minutes Tiffany came back to the office. Once again the couple looked her way when she 

entered. Their eyes now looking questioning at the brown haired woman that now entered the office 

while carrying three dresses.

"Did you go shopping?" Jessica asked as she watched Tiffany place the dresses on the chair by her 

desk. The brown haired woman shook her head with a smile.

"No, I didn't. But your mother did." Tiffany said while she was typing something on her phone. The 

couple exchanged confused glances.

"Taeyeon undress and put this on." Tiffany ordered the blonde woman in the room and held up one of 

the dresses.

"W-what?" Taeyeon asked and looked at Jessica that had her mouth wide open when she heard what 

Tiffany ordered her fiancée.

"Y-yah, Fany you..." Jessica began speaking but she stopped as the door to the office once again 

opened. An elderly lady came in, clad in a dress that looked to fancy to be wearing for a casual 

meeting.

Jessica looked back and forth between her mother that just had arrived and to her best friend.

"Why aren't you changing? Tiffany, take Jessica, I'll take Taeyeon." Mrs. Jung stated when she saw her 

daughter and her daughter's fiancée still sitting down. Without listening to Taeyeon nor Jessica  Mrs. 

Jung grabbed Taeyeon by the arm and dragged the woman to the other end of the room. She eyed 

Taeyeon before she went to Tiffany that handed her the dress she earlier had ordered Taeyeon to put 

on.

"We don't have much time. Just put this on." Mrs. Jung told the blonde woman that looked confused. 

Taeyeon looked Jessica's way and saw Jessica being dragged to the other side of the office where 

Tiffany tried to make her put on one of the other dresses.

"Yah, what is this about?" Jessica asked annoyed.

"Don't ask so much, just do as we say." Mrs. Jung ordered her daughter. With a frown on her face 

Jessica finally gave in to the orders and undressed to put on the dress. Seeing her best friend clad in 

the dress Tiffany also changed into the third dress she had brought.

When the three younger women were dressed in the dresses Mrs. Jung nodded approving of their 

clothes. Her eyes landed on the engaged couple that stood beside her. Taeyeon still looked confused 

while Jessica was still annoyed.

"What to do with your hair? You can't go like this." Mrs. Jung suddenly said and looked at the couple.

"Go where?!" Jessica asked annoyed.

"Tiffany what do you think we should do? We don't have time to bring them to the saloon either..." Mrs. 

Jung ignored her daughter and turned to the brown haired woman that stood beside Jessica.

Jessica let out a frustrated groan when she once again had been ignored by her mother. Taeyeon 

looked worried at the chestnut haired woman. She placed her hand on Jessica's back and rubbed it  in 

hope of calming the woman down.

"Let just do it like this," Tiffany pulled Jessica's hair back into a ponytail and fixed some of the hair 

strands on the side of Jessica's face. Still annoyed Jessica sent her best friend a glare, which got 

ignored as Tiffany was too busy to fix her hair. "Doesn't it look okay?" Tiffany asked when she was 

done with Jessica's hair. Mrs. Jung looked at her daughter, her head nodded approving.

"Good, what about Taeyeon then?" Mrs. Jung asked and turned to the blonde woman.  Taeyeon looked 

nervously at Tiffany and Mrs. Jung that both eyed her while they tried to figure out something for her 

hair.

"It will look weird if both of them have ponytails, won't it?" Tiffany asked the elderly woman. Mrs. Jung 

nodded her head.

"Yeah, their dresses are already similar, we can't have them have the same hairstyle as well." Mrs. 

Jung stated.

Taeyeon and Jessica exchanged glances before they turned back to Mrs. Jung and Tiffany. Jessica 

was still annoyed for being forced to get dressed for something she didn't know what it was, and 

Taeyeon was still being confused about everything.

"Let's just do it like this." Mrs. Jung stated and pulled Taeyeon's hair into a simple side ponytail.

"Not too simple and not too fancy. It fits." Mrs. Jung s aid when she was done with the blonde woman's 

hair. Both Jessica and Tiffany looked at Taeyeon that just gotten her hair done. Tiffany nodded her 

head, and even Jessica gave a small nod approving of her fiancée's hairstyle.

Remembering she should be angry Jessica snapped out of her daze after looking at Taeyeon and 

turned back to her mother and best friend.

"Care to tell me what all this is about?" Jessica asked annoyed.

"No time for questions. We're already a bit late. Let's go." Mrs. Jung grabbed Taeye on’s and Jessica's 

wrist and dragged the two of them with her. Tiffany followed them out of the office, making sure they 

didn't leave anything behind before she too exited the office.

---The car stopped in front of a large hotel. The engaged couple that had been seated in the backseat of 

the car looked questioning at each other before they turned to the two other women that sat in the front 

seats.

"What are we doing here?" Jessica asked and looked back and forth between her mother and best 

friend.

"You'll soon see. But before we go out, be careful. Reporters are here." Mrs. Jung said and grabbed her 

purse; getting ready to go out. Jessica and Taeyeon's eyes widened and they looked at each other 

again.

"Tiffany, you and me will go out first. It will giv e time for the bodyguards to get into position." Mrs. Jung 

said to the woman beside her. Tiffany nodded her head understanding. The engaged couple looked 

even more confused and also worried now. 

"Why would there be a need of bodyguards?" Taeyeon asked the two women. But like all of Jessica's 

questions had been, hers got ignored too and the two women in the front seat stepped out of the car.

Like on cue reporters surrounded the two women that had stepped out of the car. Trying to fend of the 

reporters they went to the backseat of the car. Mrs. Jung tried to tell the reporters that questions would 

be answered later while in the meantime the bodyguards came to block the reporters from the two 

women. When the bodyguards were in position Tiffany finally opened the door to the backseat of the 

car, letting Taeyeon and Jessica step out.

"Don't say anything, don't look up, just follow us and keep close to each other." Mrs. Jung told the 

couple. Jessica and Taeyeon nodded their heads and linked their arms to make s ure they stayed close 

to each other.

They felt a light push in their backs and they began walking. They kept their heads low while Mrs. Jung 

and Tiffany walked by their sides, leading their way, and the bodyguards stood around them like a wall 

that blocked the reporters cameras from snapping a photo of them.

"I feel like a criminal." Jessica mumbled.

"Maybe we did something bad?" Taeyeon suggested.

"And what would that be?" Jessica asked back. Her annoyance was still there.

Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders and looked down on the ground that now had shifted to steps. While 

supporting each other the couple walked up the steps while still being led by Tiffany and Jessica's 

mother. The door to the hotel opened and the four women with two bodyguards entered.

They stopped in the lobby of the hotel. Taeyeon and Jessica's eyes widened when they noticed 

Jessica's father and Yuri with Kyungkyu was there. The man and the woman made their way to the 

newly arrived women.

"What took so long?" Mr. Jung asked and wrapped his arm around Mrs. Jung's shoulders. Yuri went to 

Tiffany's side and kissed her wife before handing Tiffany their son. Taeyeon and Jessica continued to 

look at the people there.

"We had to dress these two up. They couldn't come here in their casual clo thes, could they?" Mrs. Jung 

said to her husband and pointed at Jessica and Taeyeon. The engaged couple exchanged glances 

before they looked back at Jessica's parents.

"Okay, we should enter. Is Krystal here?" Mrs. Jung checked her wrist watch before she  started to look 

around the lobby for her youngest daughter. Her eyes landed on the back of a woman, dressed in a 

denim dress, that chatted with another woman that was dressed in a light pink tube dress. The elderly 

woman's eyes narrowed when she saw the couple that stood a few feet away and chatted.

"Yah! Jung Soojung! We're about to enter!" Mrs. Jung shouted across the lobby; earning both of the 

women's attention. The women turned out to be Krystal and Sulli. They watched as Krystal whispered 

something to Sulli that giggled and with intertwined hands they made their way to the rest of the group.

"Oh, look at you. You're acting more like a couple that's getting married than what the engaged couple 

do." Mr. Jung commented. His statement earned him a glare from both of his daughters that looked 

very displeased.

"Now when we're here. Can someone tell me what all this is about?" Jessica asked and earned 

everyone's attention. Her question was followed by silence as everyone looked at her then to the 

woman that had given birth to her.

"You didn't tell them?" Mr. Jung asked. 

"They would find out sooner or later anyway. Okay, let's go. We'll have Taeyeon and Jessica enter last, 

alright?" Once again ignored Mrs. Jung Jessica's question and she motioned for the group to walk. She 

made Krystal and Sulli go first, followed by Yuri and Tiffany that carried Kyungkyu, and then Mr. and 

Mrs. Jung walked after them with Taeyeon and Jessica trailing behind them with the two bodyguards 

following them.

The group stopped outside of two doors that seemed to lead to the dining hall in the hotel. Mrs. Jung let 

Krystal, Sulli, Yuri and Tiffany enter first before she turned to her daughter and her soon-to-be-daughter-in-law. A smile graced her lips and she fixed the two women's hair s.

"You two look really good." She praised. Taeyeon smiled and thanked the woman for the compliment. 

Jessica however frowned because she had been ignored all this time. Mrs. Jung saw her daughter's 

expression and sighed.

"Jessica, please smile when you enter through those two doors." Mrs. Jung told her daughter and 

pointed at the doors they soon were going to enter through.

"Why?" Jessica asked and crossed her arms.

"Sica..." Taeyeon could see the argument that could start between the mother and daughte r. She 

rubbed her fiancée's back in hope of getting Jessica in a better mood. Mrs. Jung and Taeyeon 

exchanged glances and through those glances they had come to an agreement and Mrs. Jung left 

Jessica for Taeyeon to handle.

"Sica." Taeyeon turned the chestnut haired woman around towards her. She smiled in hope of getting 

Jessica to smile as well, but the woman before her continued to frown. A sigh left Taeyeon's lips and 

she placed her hands on Jessica's shoulders while gently massaging the woman's nape.

"I have no idea where your mom and Tiffany have brought us, I have no idea why we got treated like 

dolls that got dressed up and all that, but let's just be happy we're together, okay?" Taeyeon said and 

looked Jessica in the eyes. Jessica's frown slowly disappeared and a sigh escaped her lips, her eyes 

averted to the side before they looked back to Taeyeon's.

"It's just they kept ignoring us when we asked. It makes me angry." Jessica said and pouted. Taeyeon 

smiled and nodded her head understanding.

"I know. But let's just assume that they had a reason for it." Taeyeon said and smiled wider. Jessica 

nodded her head and continued to look at Taeyeon that was stupidly grinning. The expression her 

fiancée had was making it hard for her to keep a straight fac e and soon Jessica was also smiling.

"That's better." Taeyeon said satisfied and pecked Jessica's lips that now was stretched into a wider 

smile.

The engaged couple turned to Jessica's mother that stood by the closed doors. She was speechless by 

what she just had witnessed. When the couple shot her a questioning look the elderly woman shook her 

head.

"It's nothing. Just follow me, okay?" Mrs. Jung said and held both of the handles to the two doors. The 

engaged couple linked their arms and nodded. Seeing they were ready Mrs. Jung opened the two 

doors and entered with Taeyeon and Jessica following right behind her.

---When they had entered the large dinning room of the hotel Taeyeon and Jessica stopped by the door 

as both of them got shocked by what was inside. With mouths hanging slightly open they looked at Mrs. 

Jung that stood by the side and smiled. 

The tables in the dining room had been moved to the side, making a passage from the door to the other 

end of the room where a larger table was. By that table stood Mr. Jung that now was smiling at the two 

people that had come through the doors.

By the other tables in the room stood some of Jessica and Taeyeon's friends, colleagues and other 

acquaintances. Jessica's relatives were also there. A bit dumbfounded the couple stood and watched 

as the people in the room was applauding and cheering on them.

"Go up to your father." Mrs. Jung whispered to Jessica.

Jessica finally snapped out of her shocked state and motioned for Taeyeon to begin walking. Feeling 

the small tug on her arm Taeyeon started walking with her finacée to the table right in front of them 

while they greeted some of the people on the way there.

"My daughter!" Mr. Jung exclaimed and held out his arms. Jessica smiled awkwardly at her father as

she still felt surprised.

The daughter and father embraced, and when they broke their hug Mr. Jung turned to Taeyeon. They 

too smiled at each other and Mr. Jung held out his arms for Taeyeon to hug him too. Without any 

awkwardness between them Taeyeon hugged the father of her fiancée.

When they broke the hug Mr. Jung motioned for Taeyeon and Jessica to stand beside him. The couple 

did as they were told and they now were facing the whole room that had their focus on them.

"I'd first like to thank all of  you for coming." Mr. Jung started to speak. People nodded their heads and 

some smiled at him. "I told you that the purpose of the party would be revealed during the party, and 

that time has come now." Mr. Jung continued. He glanced at Jessica and Taeyeon t hat once again 

looked confused.

"But before I tell you that I'd like to thank my wife, and my daughter's best friend, Tiffany, for preparing 

this whole thing. Thank you." Mr. Jung said and looked at his wife and Tiffany that stood beside Yuri by 

the door. The room was filled with applaudes and Mrs. Jung and Tiffany bowed to the people that 

applauded them.

"And now on to the purpose of this whole thing." Mr. Jung said and looked at his daughter that stood 

beside him. He smiled at her and placed a hand on the upper back of her. "The past weeks I've been 

denying the question if my daughter is engaged, but the truth is, she is." He said and smiled. The 

people in the room gasped in a positively shock. When they had recovered they started congratulating 

Jessica that now was awkwardly thanking them.

"And the person she's engaged to is none other than this lucky girl right here." Mr. Jung said and 

pointed at Taeyeon that now looked surprised. Some were surprised but others weren't and they started 

to congratulate the couple that now was busy thanking them.

"My daughter and her fiancée didn't had the chance to have a real party for their engagement, so me 

and my wife thought we could make one for them. So with the help of Tiffany we managed to do this." 

Mr. Jung said and spread out his arms to show the room Mrs. Jung and Tiffany had helped to design for 

this occasion.

"And enough talking from me, let's enjoy this party." Mr. Jung said, and like on cue music was played.

Jessica and Taeyeon looked at each other before they turned to Mr. Jung that smiled at them widely. 

Jessica opened her mouth to say something but got stopped as she was engulfed in a hug.

"Surprise!" Krystal that now had her arms wrapped around her sister exclaimed."This was beyond your 

imagination, right? And I knew about it all the time." Krystal said proudly and released her sister from 

her hug. Jessica looked at her sister but her eyes caught a much more interesting person and she 

pushed her sister to the side to be able to talk to that person.

"Mom!" Jessica shouted to the woman that was talking to a few men around the same age as her. Mrs. 

Jung turned around when she heard her daughter's call, a smile graced her lips and she excused 

herself from the men before she went to her oldest daughter.

"What is it, dear?" Mrs. Jung asked.

"I thought it was no time for these kind of things, how did you and Tiffany manage to do all this?" 

Jessica asked. Mrs. Jung chuckled.

"Everything is possible, dear. But you shouldn't worry about how we were able to  do this, you should go 

around and greet people. Your grandpa and grandma is here too!" Mrs. Jung said.

Jessica's eyes widened and her eyes searched the room for the oldest people there, they were easy to 

find as they were sitting by a table where Tiffany was.

"I'll go and greet them." Jessica said and got ready to go. Feeling she was missing something, or more 

someone, she turned around and looked at Taeyeon that stood behind her. "Taengoo-ah, come on, 

we're going to greet my grandparents." Jessica said and held out her hand. Without objections the 

blonde woman grabbed the hand that was outstretched towards her, and together they began walking 

to the old couple in the room.

When the couple came closer to the two older people that were chatting with Tiffany, the old man 

looked to the two approaching women and a smile appeared on his face when he saw them.

"Jessica!" The older man exclaimed, making Tiffany, and Jessica's grandma stop talking and the three 

of them looked at Taeyeon and Jessica that smiled at them.

"Hello grandpa." Jessica said and bowed towards him. Taeyeon bowed too before they turned to 

Jessica's grandmother and bowed to her as well.

"You two look beautiful." Jessica's grandmother praised. Taeyeon and Jessica smiled at them and 

bowed in gratitude. "I was talking to Tiffany here, and she told me you didn't want a big wedding. How 

come?" Jessica grandmother asked and looked confused by what she just had heard her 

granddaughter's best friend say.

"We don't want anything big because our wedding is in a few months only, and it's not possible to 

prepare anything bigger." Jessica explained and smiled at her grandmother. "Besides, me and Taeyeon 

said that it's the ceremony itself that counts, not if it's big or not." Jessica added and turned to T aeyeon. 

The couple exchanged smiles before they turned back to Jessica's grandparents.

"That's really clever of you to think like that. Because in our time, grandness was all it was about. We 

didn't get to decide anything! It's good that you've put down your foot and telling them from the start 

how you want it." Jessica grandfather said. A grin appeared on Jessica's lips and she nodded her head.

"Because it's not your parents wedding. It's your wedding. You're the one that decides how you want it, 

where you want it, when you want it, and who you're going to marry. Isn't that how modern time works?" 

Jessica's grandfather stated.

His statement made the four women by the table chuckle, making the older man smile proudly as he 

got confirmation that his humorous side was still with him.

"I'm going to be honest with you Jessica. At first I didn't like you being with a girl, and you knew that." 

He began speaking in a more serious way. Jessica nodded her head as she knew about her 

grandparents dislike towards her relationship. 

"But after much thinking I thought it's better you're with someone you're happy with than some guy your 

parents set you up with." The old man explained. A relieved smile appeared on Jessica's lips and she 

looked at her grandmother that smiled as well.

"So, Taeyeon-ah, you better make my granddaughter happy, or else you'll have to deal with me." The 

old man jokingly threatened the woman that stood beside Jessica. They all laughed by his joke.

"No worries, I'll take good care of her and make her happy." Taeyeon assured the old man. Jessica 

grandparents nodded pleased by what they heard.

"Well, we won't be holding you here much longer. You should go and greet the others here. I'm sure 

we'll bump into each other some other time." Jessica's grandfather said. Taeyeon and Jessica bowed 

towards the grandparents before they made their way to the next person they were going to greet.

"I like how your grandparents could let go of old traditions and let you be with who you want." Taeyeon 

said when they were walking to a table where Jessica's uncles were seated by with her father.

Jessica nodded agreeing on what Taeyeon had said. "Yeah, I guess they didn't want the past to repeat 

itself." Jessica said and shrugged her shoulders. "But because I st arted to be open about my sexuality, 

Krystal and some cousins got it easier to reveal their sexuality too. I have a male cousin that's gay." 

Jessica said and turned to Taeyeon. Taeyeon's eyes slightly widened and she nodded her head.

"But aren't your relatives thinking you might have influenced them? You know how some people think." 

Taeyeon turned to Jessica with furrowed eyebrows. Jessica smiled and shook her head.

"I guess my aunt thought so in the beginning, but she came to accept it later on. Like how  it was with 

Krystal. My dad was accusing me for having a bad influence on her, but later he just had to accept that 

both his daughters were like that." Jessica said and turned to Taeyeon with a grin. Taeyeon laughed by 

the grin that was plastered on her finacée's lips.

"Do you have to look so proud over it?" Taeyeon asked and pinched Jessica's cheek. A giggle escaped 

the chestnut haired woman.

"Yeah, it's good that I can make people's lives easier." Jessica said and smiled wider. Taeyeon smiled 

too and both of them arrived at the table with big smiles on their faces.

The table the four men were sitting by was round, they all were clad in suit, two of Jessica's uncles had 

ties while the third wasn't wearing anything around his neck. Jessica's father always wore tie to 

occasions like this, and was of course wearing one today.

The men that had been laughing suddenly stopped when they noticed they had two extra people with 

them. Jessica's uncles shone up when they saw who was there.

"Omo, it's my favorite niece!" The man without a tie exclaimed and stood up from his seat. He went to 

the two younger women with his arms outstretched. Jessica stretched out her arms, ready to hug her 

uncle, but got surprised when he went past her and hugged Taeyeon instead.

"It's good to see you." The uncle said while he hugged Taeyeon tightly. Taeyeon that was a bit shocked 

hugged Jessica's uncle back while Jessica watched a bit dumbfounded from the side.

"Uncle, are your eyesight bad? I'm here." Jessica said and poked her unc le's arm. The man released 

Jessica's finacée and his eyes landed upon Jessica. He gave her a smile and patted her head.

"I saw you Jessica. But your finacée here as taken your favorite spot. And now when we'll be family for 

real, I can finally call her my niece-in -law!" He said excited and turned to Taeyeon that only could smile 

in awkwardness. 

"Yah!" Jessica slapped her uncle's arm, and the man began laughing.

"I was only kidding with you. How can I replace my favorite niece´s spot with someone else?" H e asked 

and held out his arms like he was asking for a hug. With a pout on her lips Jessica went to hug her 

uncle that lifted her up and spun her around before he put her down.

"Wow, Jessica. You've gained some weight. You aren't pregnant, are you?" A mis chievous grin was on 

his lips and he poked Jessica's stomach. Jessica swatted his hand away and frowned.

"Yah, how is that possible?" Jessica asked and glanced at Taeyeon that stood by the side. Taeyeon 

smiled at her and Jessica turned to her uncle again. "It's because uncle has gotten weaker!" Jessica 

exclaimed. The uncle and the men that were around the table started laughing by what Jessica just 

said.

"Bold as always, I like that." The man said and ruffled Jessica's hair.

"Yah, dongsaeng." A woman's voice made the man turn away from Jessica and his eyes landed on 

Jessica's mother. He smiled and released Jessica completely before turning to the woman.

"Yes, noona?" He said with a grin on his face.

"Don't ruin my daughter's hair." The woman said before she went up to Jessica and started fixing her 

hair which the man had messed up a bit.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I just ruin the hairstyle your mommy fixed for you?" The man asked Jessica with a 

pout on his lips. Jessica's mother raised her hand up and threatened to slap the man. The man instantly 

backed away from the mother and daughter and went to Taeyeon's side.

"Taeyeon-ah, save me. My noona is crazy." The man said and clutched on Taeyeon's arm. Taeyeon 

looked at Mrs. Jung that now had finished fixing Jessi ca's hair and stood with her arms crossed while 

she sent a glare to her younger brother. The man smiled at her like it would make up for what he just 

had said.

"I think you should be nice to her." Taeyeon said. The man looked at her incredulous before tur ning to 

the older woman who was his sister before he turned back to Taeyeon again.

"Oh, that's how you got on her good side!" He suddenly exclaimed.

"Yah, it's enough teasing them!" Mrs. Jung suddenly said and grabbed her younger brother's arm and 

dragged him back to his seat by the table. The woman greeted her two other brothers and watched as 

Taeyeon and Jessica finally got the chance to greet the two other men as well.

"I was wondering when you'd marry Jessica." A man with a blue necktie said. Jessica  and Taeyeon 

looked at each other before they looked back at the man, both smiling shyly.

"We never really thought about marriage as we were happy as we were. But we both kind of realized 

we had to take our relationship to the next step." Taeyeon explained to Jessica's uncle and glanced at 

Jessica that nodded her head in agreement.

"Oppa, did you know that they both proposed to each other?" Mrs. Jung asked the man that had 

questioned the engaged couple. The man's eyes widened and he shifted his gaze towar ds the couple.

"Oh, please, tell me how you were able to do that?" The man asked interested in the story. Jessica 

smiled at her uncle and looked at Taeyeon.

"Sorry, but we thought of saving that story for the wedding dinner." Jessica said and smiled.  

"I see. Then I'll wait for that story until then." The man said and smiled.

Happy that her uncle understood Jessica smiled at the older man. Her gaze shifted to the people that 

were mingling at the party, her eyes caught a familiar female on the other side of the room. A happy 

expression appeared on her face and she turned to the men around the table she was standing by.

"I'm sorry, but I have to greet some other people as well. We'll talk more later." Jessica excused herself 

while she hooked her arm around Taeyeon's and brought the other woman with her. Taeyeon barely 

had time to excuse herself before Jessica had dragged her away from the table.

When they got closer to the woman Jessica was walking to, the chestnut haired woman released the 

blonde woman and a wide smile was on her face when she tapped the woman's shoulder. The woman 

spun around, a smile appeared on her lips as well when she saw who it was.

"Auntie!" Jessica exclaimed happily and hugged the woman without notice. The woman smiled and 

patted Jessica's back.

"Omo, Jessica. I just saw Krystal, but she went to greet someone else just now." The woman said when 

Jessica had released her from the hug.

"There's a lot of people to greet on this party. I just greeted my uncles." Jessica said. The wom an 

nodded her head and glanced over Jessica's shoulder at Taeyeon that was standing behind her.

"Hello, Taeyeon." Jessica's aunt greeted the blonde woman. Taeyeon greeted the woman with a bow. 

Satisfied of not being ignored Jessica's aunt turned to Jessica again. Her eyes went downwards to 

Jessica's left hand, her eyes instantly caught the sight of the ring.

"Let me see this." The woman said and lifted on Jessica's hand to get a better look on the ring. Her 

eyes slightly widened when she saw the ring and she glanced at the woman that still was standing 

behind Jessica. 

"Is this the only thing you can afford with a lawyer's salary?" The woman asked while her eyes 

remained on Taeyeon. Realizing the question was to her Taeyeon looked the aunt's way, her eye s 

showing confusion. Jessica's eyes widened when she realized her aunt hadn't looked at the ring to 

admire it, just to seek of some kind of insult towards her finacée.

"No, I found that ring and thought it would fit with Jessica's style." Taeyeon defended  her choice of ring. 

The aunt raised an eyebrow when Taeyeon had talked back at her.

"A more expensive ring would've fit Jessica better. Besides, you shouldn't chose the ring based on how 

it's going to fit with the person's style. The ring should stand out so onlookers will be able to see that the 

person is already taken." The aunt argued back.

Taeyeon clamped her mouth shut and glanced at Jessica that wore a worried expression.

"Auntie, please stop." Jessica begged her aunt. The aunt shifted her eyes fr om Taeyeon to Jessica.

"Well how can a person like her know that?" The aunt nonchalantly said.

With concerned eyes Jessica looked back at Taeyeon that was now looking somewhere else instead of 

the aunt and niece that talked. Jessica could easily see how  Taeyeon tried hard to keep her anger 

inside. She regretted in bringing the woman with her now, she should have left her with her uncles that 

were way more fond of her than what her aunt was.

"Did Seunghyun oppa come?" Jessica asked her aunt. Her aunt look ed at her.

"Seunghyun? No, he's still in America." Her aunt replied. A solemn expression appeared on Jessica's 

face which she quickly covered up with a smile to not disappoint her aunt.

"But Dara and Eunji is here." Her aunt later added. Jessica's eyes widened and she looked around the 

room in hope of find her cousins. She couldn't see them among the people that were there, and so she 

turned back to her aunt.

"I guess I'll probably bump into them later." Jessica said with a smile. Her aunt nodded her hea d. Her 

eyes took a quick glance behind Jessica before she leaned closer to Jessica like she was going to 

whisper something to her niece.

"Jessica, about Taeyeon-"

"Noona!" A man's voice interrupted the woman that leaned away from Jessica. Jessica didn't  know if 

she ever had been so relieved upon seeing her father that now embraced her aunt. Jessica smiled at 

her father that now had started a conversation with his older sister.

Jessica spun around, expecting to still see Taeyeon next to her, but got surprised when she found out 

the blonde woman had left her side. Her eyes searched the room in hope of finding the blonde woman, 

but her eyes couldn't see her.

Maybe she went to greet someone else. Jessica thought and began her search of Taeyeon.

---"Hi, what a surprise to see you here!" Jessica caught the familiar voice and she turned her head to 

where she heard the voice come from. Her eyes caught the sight of Taeyeon hugging a woman with 

short blonde hair.

Her eyes studied the woman for a while. She thought the woman was familiar, but she couldn't 

remember from where she had seen the woman. Her feet began walking towards the two women that 

were engaged in a conversation. When the short-haired woman started laughing, Jessica could now 

see who it was.

"Sunny." Jessica whispered to herself.

The corners of her lips turned downwards into a frown and she marched her way to her fiancée that 

was talking to the short-haired, blonde woman. Jessica made her way to Taeyeon's side, and without 

showing what she felt she smiled at Sunny while placing her arm around Taeyeon's waist and brought 

the blonde woman closer to her.

"Hi, Sunny." Jessica greeted the short-haired blonde woman.

"Hi, Jessica. Congratulation." Sunny said. Jessica smiled and nodded her head while  glancing at the 

woman she was holding.

"Well, I'll be going. It was nice talking to you Tae." Sunny said and smiled at the other blonde woman. 

Taeyeon smiled back and the engaged couple watched as Sunny made her way to chat with some 

other people on the party. Seeing they were finally alone Taeyeon turned to Jessica and placed an arm 

around the younger woman's shoulders.

Taeyeon studied Jessica's expression for a while. She noticed Jessica wasn't looking at her and was 

looking somewhere else. With her free hand Taeyeon brought up her hand and started poking Jessica's 

cheek.

"Jealous?" Taeyeon asked and continued to poke the chestnut haired woman's cheek.

"Is it bad if I was?" Jessica asked and looked at Taeyeon with a raised eyebrow. A smile appeared on 

Taeyeon's lips and she stopped poking Jessica's cheek.

"It's good if you admit it, but if you lie about it it's another story." Taeyeon said while looking at Jessica 

with a knowingly look.

"Then yes, I am jealous, but I saw no reason to be when I know th at you're mine and it's me that you're 

marrying." Jessica said and turned to fully face Taeyeon. A wide smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips.

"Good that you figured that out yourself." Taeyeon praised.

Jessica smiled and glanced behind Taeyeon at an approaching person. Seeing who it was her smile 

faded and she looked at her fiancée that looked at her questioning.

"I guess you'll be going through the jealousy test too." Jessica said with a slight smile before releasing 

Taeyeon. Still confused Taeyeon spun around and saw Jessica talk to a taller woman. Even though it 

had been a long time since she saw the taller woman Taeyeon could still recognize her.

"Oh, Sooyoung." Taeyeon said upon seeing the taller woman. Being called the taller woman stopped 

talking to Jessica and both of them looked at Taeyeon. The taller woman flashed Taeyeon a smile 

which Taeyeon managed to return.

"Hello, Taeyeon. Congratulation on your engagement." Sooyoung said. Taeyeon smiled and nodded.

"Thanks." Taeyeon said and took the spot beside Jessica. She crossed her arms and pretended to 

listen to Jessica and Sooyoung as they were catching up with each other. Her eyes searched for the 

person that had prepared this party, the person also being the one responsible for the people that had 

been invited.

Not seeing the person she was looking after Taeyeon turned back to Sooyoung and Jessica that 

seemed about to end their conversation. The taller woman and the chestnut haired woman was sharing 

a laugh while Taeyeon stood by the side and just smiled as she didn't know what they were talking 

about.

"That's funny. Oh, but I think I'm going to find Tiffany. It was nice talking to you Sica, we should hang 

out sometime." Sooyoung said and gave Jessica a light hug. Standing right by the side Taeyeon' s eyes 

widened in surprise upon seeing the hug the two women shared.

"It was nice to see you Taeyeon. We should talk more." Sooyoung said when she had broken the hug 

with Jessica. Taeyeon nodded her head with a smile and again the engaged couple watched as 

another person from their past left to mingle with the other people at the party.

"Wow, I'm impressed." Jessica finally said and looked at Taeyeon.

"Why?" Taeyeon asked and turned to Jessica with a raised eyebrow. With a smile Jessica put her arm 

around Taeyeon's shoulders.

"Because you didn't flip when she hugged me." Jessica said with a smile.

"For your information, Sunny hugged me too." Taeyeon admitted. Jessica smiled and nodded her head.

"I know, but I was standing over there when that happened. It was a safer distance than at where you 

were standing." Jessica said and pointed to the spot she had been standing when she had witnessed 

Taeyeon and Sunny's reunion. Taeyeon nodded her head and looked at Jessica again.

"Well, as you said, there's no need to blow up in jealousy, cause I know your feelings and you know 

mine, and that should keep us from being afraid that we will leave each other." Taeyeon said with a 

smile. Jessica smiled and put both arms around Taeyeon's neck.

"True, but it's good to feel a bit jealous sometimes. Then we know we still care if we're with someone 

else or each other." Jessica said and leaned her forehead against Taeyeon's. Taeyeon smiled upon 

their close proximity.

"Yeah, but it shouldn't be like we blow up because of  it. The jealousy should be kept at a level where 

we can contain it." Taeyeon said and stared into Jessica's eyes. Jessica smiled too and slightly nodded 

her head.

"Yeah." Jessica chimed and leaned closer to plant her lips on Taeyeon's. Taeyeon smirked whe n she 

felt the other woman's lips inch closer to hers, and to make it go faster she leaned in to close the 

remaining distance between them.

A flashlight was what made the couple break away from the kiss and they turned to a person that stood 

with a camera. The person lowered the photo-taking-machine and a pout on the person's lips was 

revealed.

"Don't stop kissing. I thought you were used to flash your intimacy in front of cameras by now?" Hyomin 

said. Both Jessica and Taeyeon blinked surprised upon seeing the person. They glanced at each other 

before both of them turned away from the woman.

"Hey, where are you going?" Hyomin asked the leaving couple.

---A hand with a napkin was lifted up to the little boy's mouth. The hand wiped away the sauce that was 

smeared around the boy's face. When the hand was removed a grin appeared on the boy's face and he 

turned to his mother that had wiped his mouth. The mother only chuckled and shook her head.

"Gosh, how are you eating actually?" Tiffany asked and placed t he used napkin on her empty plate that 

stood on the table her son was sitting by. She got no answer from her son as he grabbed the glass in 

front of him and proceed to drink.

A tap on her shoulder made Tiffany turn around. Seeing the two people standing behind her she 

flashed them a smile, but it quickly faded as none of them returned the smile. Her expression turned 

into a questioning one.

"Is something wrong?" Tiffany asked.

"How many have you invited to the party?" Jessica asked.

"I'm not sure, why?" Tiffany asked and looked back and forth between Taeyeon and Jessica.

"We've already bumped into Sunny, Sooyoung and Hyomin. Is there anyone else from our past we 

should be aware of?" Taeyeon asked. Tiffany's eyes widened and an apologetic smile appeared  on her 

lips.

"Sorry. I should have told you. But I hired Hyomin as the photographer, and because Hyomin and 

Sunny are dating now she asked if Sunny could join and I said yes, Sooyoung is currently dating 

Sunye. You remember her right?" Tiffany asked and looked at Jessica.

"Oh, yeah, how can I not remember her?" Jessica asked.

"Yeah, so I invited Sunye and she asked if it was okay to bring Sooyoung along, and I said yes there as 

well. That's why Sunny and Sooyoung are here." Tiffany said with a smile. Jessica and Taeyeon slowly 

nodded their heads. 

"That explains why Hyomin is running around with a camera." Taeyeon stated. Jessica only nodded her 

head while Tiffany just smiled.

"But I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I should've at least warned you that they would be here. But because the 

party wasn't really something you knew about I couldn't really do that." Tiffany said and smiled 

apologetic.

"It's okay, I guess." Jessica said and took a seat beside her best friend. Taeyeon did the same and took 

the seat beside Jessica. The couple watched as Tiffany continued to feed Kyungkyu food.

Remembering why she had been looking for Taeyeon before Jessica turned towards her fiancée that 

was still watching the little boy eat. A concerned expression appeared on Jessica's face when she 

studied Taeyeon's face.

"Taeyeon-ah, about my aunt, I'm sorry." Jessica apologized to the blonde woman. Her apology earned 

her both Tiffany's and Taeyeon's attention. Taeyeon tried to smile but Jessica could easily see it wasn't 

the bright smile Taeyeon usually smiled.

"It's okay." Taeyeon said and shrugged her shoulders. Jessica placed her hand over Taeyeon's hand 

that was resting on the table.

"No, it's not. She had no right to tell you that the ring you bought wasn't enough. I love the  ring, just 

because it's you that picked it out for me. That's what counts, at least to me." Jessica said and brought 

her other hand up to Taeyeon's cheek and started caressing it.

"I thought your aunt was okay with this." Taeyeon said while her eyes were  fixed on the table surface.

"She's okay with the same-gender relationship thing. But she had wanted me to meet a girl from a 

richer family. Someone like Tiffany or Yuri." Jessica said sadly. Taeyeon slowly nodded her head, but 

Jessica could see Taeyeon wasn't okay. She lowered the hand that still had been caressing Taeyeon's 

cheek and looked worriedly at Taeyeon.

"Taeyeon, I can ask my dad if it's okay that I don't invite my aunt to the wedding. Because if she's not 

going to be supportive I honestly don't want her there." Jessica said in hope of making Taeyeon feel 

better. When all she got was a shrug in answer she fell lost of words. She looked at Tiffany that had 

been watching the couple this whole time, her best friend gave her a sympathetic look.

The sound of a chair moving made Jessica turn back to Taeyeon. She noticed the woman stand from 

her seat and a confused expression appeared on Jessica's face when she noticed the woman leaving.

"Where are you going?" Jessica asked and tried to get a hold of  Taeyeon's wrist but missed it with a 

mere millimeter.

"Restroom. I'll be back soon." Taeyeon replied without looking at Jessica. Jessica helplessly watched 

as Taeyeon made her way through the crowd of people. A sigh left her lips and she turned to Tiffan y 

that still looked sympathetically at her.

The two friends sat in silence while the slurping sound from Kyungkyu that had finished his drink filled 

the quietness around the table. Tiffany helped him to get off his chair when he started to whine to get 

down. When he was on the floor she noticed he had found some friends his age he could play with. 

After having made sure there was an adult to watch the kids Tiffany turned back to Jessica that looked 

like a big baby with the pout and on her lips.

"Your aunt isn't okay with you marrying Taeyeon?" Tiffany finally asked. Jessica shrugged her 

shoulders and sighed once again.

"I thought she was. But I guess this high-status thing is still left in her. She can't accept someone from a 

family with a lower status." Jessica said with sadness in her tone. Tiffany nodded her head and looked 

at her son that was playing with another boy that looked about the same age as him..

"Jessi, Yuri told me that when she talked to Taeyeon about marriage, Taeyeon had said she was mo stly 

afraid people will think she married you because of your money." Tiffany confessed and looked at 

Jessica. Jessica's eyes widened and she let out a groan and covered her face with her palms.

"Great. Then this will absolutely make Taeyeon feel better about it." Jessica mumbled sarcastically.

Tiffany patted Jessica's back while her eyes noticed a black haired woman coming towards them. 

Tiffany smiled upon seeing the woman, but seeing that she didn't return the smile her smile faded and a 

confused expression appeared on her face.

"What's up?" Tiffany asked when Yuri had stopped by the table. Yuri glanced at Jessica that still was 

covering her face before she turned to her wife. Yuri let out a sigh and leaned closer to Tiffany's ear to 

be able to whisper to her.

Tiffany nodded her head, and her eyes widened and she glanced at Jessica that sat beside her. She 

looked at Yuri when Yuri had finished saying what she wanted.

"Really?" Tiffany asked. Yuri nodded her head and turned to look at Jessica that was o blivious to the 

couple's conversation. "Who's there now then?" Tiffany asked.

"When I left Jessica's mom was there, and Krystal had also arrived." Yuri explained.

The mention of her mother and sister finally caught Jessica's interest. She uncovered her  face with her 

hands and turned to look at Tiffany and Yuri; she shot the couple a questioning look.

"What's with my mom and sister?" Jessica asked and looked back and forth between them.

"They're in the restroom." Yuri replied. Thinking that it was no big deal of her mother and sister to visit 

the restroom Jessica nodded her head. Her mind finally remembered the place Taeyeon had said she 

would go to and her eyes instantly widened and she looked back at Yuri.

"They went there because of Taeyeon?" Jessica asked the black haired woman.

"They more got stuck there because of Taeyeon." Yuri corrected her. Without asking further about the 

matter Jessica stood up from her seat and made her way to the restrooms. Whatever the reason was 

for her mother and sister to be with Taeyeon right now, she wanted to find out on her own rather than 

questioning Yuri about it.

Jessica quickly reached the restrooms as she had walked there fast. Her hand reached out towards the 

doorknob of the restroom with the sign 'Females' on. Feeling the door was locked a frown appeared on 

her face and she got ready to knock on the door but stopped when she heard voices from inside.

"I'm going to kill that woman." Jessica could hear her mother say from the other side.

"Mom, don't do anything rash." Krystal advised.

Jessica furrowed her eyebrows and prepared to knock on the door again but stopped again to hear 

what was being said on the other side.

"I said I’m fine." Taeyeon's hoarse voice said. A concerned expression appeared on Je ssica's face 

when she heard Taeyeon's voice.

"Fine? You call this fine?" Mrs. Jung asked angrily.  

"Mom, calm down. It's not Taeyeon-unnie's fault."

"Yes, I know. I'm sorry. It just makes me so angry that she dared to corner you like this when you were 

alone. I'm sure she wouldn't have dared to say such things to you if Jessica was with you." Mrs. Jung 

said in a calmer tone.

Jessica's eyes widened. Not being able to listen any longer on this without knowing exactly what had 

happened to Taeyeon Jessica knocked on the door. The voices inside went silent for a while. The 

silence was followed by the sound of high-heels clicking against tiles.

"Can it be Yuri?" Mrs. Jung asked, her voice sounding closer to the door. The sound of the door 

unlocking was heard and it was carefully opened. Mrs. Jung's shocked expression was what greeted 

Jessica when she had opened the door.

"Jessica..." Mrs. Jung said, shocked upon seeing her daughter there. Jessica ignored her mother and 

pushed past her into the restroom. Her eyes instantly fell on the two people on the floor, one looking 

messier since she last saw her, and the other looking scared.

Both Taeyeon and Krystal looked wide eyed at Jessica that stared at them. Jessica studied Taeyeon's 

messy state, when Taeyeon left for the restroom she remembered Taeyeon hadn't left with red and 

puffy eyes, and ruined make-up.

"Who?" Jessica asked, getting straight to the point.

The sound of the restroom door closing was heard while Jessica waited for someone to answer her 

question. Her eyes traveled from Taeyeon to Krystal that was seated beside her. Krystal quickly averted 

her eyes to her mother that came to stand beside Jessica.

"Jessica, calm down." Mrs. Jung said and placed her hand on Jessica's shoulder. Mrs. Jung knew her 

daughter had inherited her temper, and because she knew how she had felt about what had happened 

to Taeyeon, she could imagine how Jessica was feeling.

"Not before someone tells me what happened to her!" Jessica demanded and shrugged off her 

mother's hand. Mrs. Jung looked away from her oldest daughter and looked at Taeyeon and Krystal 

that were still seated on the restroom floor.

"Your aunt had a very unpleasant conversation with Taeyeon." Mrs. Jung said and looked with sad 

eyes at Taeyeon that now had her eyes focused on her hands that were clasped together in her lap.

Jessica clenched her teeth and looked at her finacée. A sniffle escaped the blonde woman and 

Jessica's expression softened some.

"What did she say?" Jessica looked at her mother and back  at Taeyeon. When none were saying 

anything Jessica made her way towards Taeyeon, she crouched in front of the blonde woman and 

placed her hands on Taeyeon's shoulders.

"Taeyeon, please tell me what she said to you." Jessica asked the blonde woman. She co uld see 

Taeyeon let out a sigh and bit her lower lip. With soft eyes Jessica continued to look at the woman that 

was contemplating whether she should say or not.

"I'm not worthy to be in this family, and I should find someone that's from the same low clas s of people 

I'm from. She also said she knew people that could break us apart and it would hurt less if I ended it 

right now with you." Taeyeon mumbled. Jessica clenched her teeth and removed her hands from 

Taeyeon's shoulders in case she would intentionally tightened her hold on them out of anger.

"She also said it wasn't love I felt, it was greed towards your money." Taeyeon finally ended.  

"That woman is crazy." Mrs. Jung exclaimed from behind Jessica.

Jessica let out a sigh and lifted up Taeyeon's hands to hold them between hers. She felt Taeyeon's cold 

hands heating up in hers and she smiled in hope of comforting the blonde woman in front of her.

"You know it isn't true Taeyeon." Jessica said and rubbed Taeyeon's hands.

"I know it isn't true, but it hurts that people are always picking on me because I happened to be from a 

poor family, and I ended up falling in love with a girl from a rich family." Taeyeon snapped and snatched 

away her hands from Jessica's hold. Wide eyed Jessica looked at the blonde woman that had tears 

streaming down her cheeks.

"No matter how much I know it isn't true, it still hurts when they say things like that. It's like they're 

saying my love is less worth because my family had less money." Taeyeon spoke in a calmer tone. 

Taeyeon clenched her teeth and looked away from Jessica's sorrow filled eyes. "And my family is dead, 

they can't even say anything." Taeyeon mumbled.

Jessica clenched her teeth and looked down at her hands that had closed into fists. She knew full well 

that when people pick on Taeyeon's family that had been poor, or when people insult Taeyeon's family, 

Taeyeon had to take the blow all alone. No matter how much Jessica wanted to be there and take 

some of the pain for Taeyeon during those times, she couldn't because she had no idea how it was to 

be in the situation Taeyeon was in. She had never been accused of the things Taeyeon was being 

accused of. And so Jessica always ended up comforting the blonde woman during those times, even 

though she wanted to do so m uch more than that.

Silence filled the restroom and Jessica felt her anger rise the longer Taeyeon's tears continued to fall. 

She finally had come to a decision and stood up. Her sister and mother looked questioning at her and 

she ignored their looks and proceeded to walk, but got stopped.

A pull on her wrist made Jessica stumble backwards because of the high-heels she was wearing made 

her already a bit unstable. She landed on Taeyeon's lap and felt the blonde woman wrap her arms 

around her waist. Still a bit confused Jessica remained still on the other woman's lap while Taeyeon's 

hold on her tightened.

"It still hurts so don't leave me." An almost inaudible mumble came from Taeyeon. Jessica relaxed and 

a sad smile appeared on her lips. She began stroking the blonde woman's hair in a comforting manner 

while she let Taeyeon hold her. As long as Taeyeon could stop hurting she would let her hold her as 

long as she wanted.

---When Taeyeon had stopped crying and Mrs. Jung had helped to fix Taeyeon appearance a bit, the four 

women exited the restroom. When they came outside they noticed Tiffany and Yuri were waiting for 

them outside. The four friends exchanged smiles and they proceed to go back to the party.

The first sight the now six women caught was the sight of Jessica and Krystal's aunt that were chatting 

with Mrs. Jung's brothers. The woman laughed at one of the men's jokes and nodded her head to 

something one of them said.

Taeyeon felt a hand grab her own and she looked down and noticed the familiar hand that always 

seemed to hold hers. She looked up at the chestnut haired woman that stood to her left. Jessica 

flashed her a smile, and this time, Taeyeon was able to return it  with one of her brighter ones.

"Mom, where are you going?"

Krystal's voice made the couple break away from their eye contact and they looked the way Mrs. Jung 

was walking. They noticed the woman was headed towards where her brothers and sister-in -law was 

standing. Worried what might happen the five younger women started following her.

"Unnie." Mrs. Jung's call for her sister-in -law made the woman stop her conversation with the men and 

she turned to Jessica's mother. She smiled upon seeing her.

"Yes, did you want something?" The woman asked Mrs. Jung.

"What right do you have to tell Taeyeon not to marry my daughter?" Mrs. Jung went straight to the 

point. Dumbfounded the woman looked behind Mrs. Jung and noticed Taeyeon with the group of 

friends around her. A displeased expression appeared on her face and she turned back to Mrs. Jung.

"I have all the right in the world tell her that, as she's marrying into my family too." Jessica's aunt went 

ahead in defending her actions.

"No, you don't have any right to tell her that. It's either me or my husband to decide that, and we've 

come to the decision in letting Jessica choose her own partner, no matter what gender, or what family 

that person comes from." Mrs. Jung stated. Jessica's aunt flared her nostrils an d sent a glare towards 

Taeyeon before she looked back at the woman before her.

"And what right do you have to talk back to me? I'm your sister-in -law." Jessica's aunt spoke back. 

Jessica's mother's eyes narrowed and she opened her mouth to say something b ut a gentle hand that 

was being placed on her back made her stop. She looked behind her and noticed her husband's mother 

standing there while smiling warmly at her.

"Don't bother about her." The older woman advised and smiled. Mrs. Jung bowed towards the  elderly 

woman and watched as she made her way to her daughter instead. "And you." The elderly woman said 

while pointing at Jessica's aunt. The woman now looked scared when her mother spoke to her.

"What have I told you about butting into other people's business. Let your brother and sister-in -law 

handle their daughter's marriage. If they're okay with their daughter marrying Taeyeon, you should be 

too. Stop causing trouble." The mother scolded.

"Yes mother." Jessica's aunt said and bowed her head.

The five younger women that had been watching the older women argue exchanged surprised glances. 

Noticing the conversation between Jessica's mother and aunt had been stopped by Jessica's 

grandmother they all briefly smiled at each other.

"I don't know if it's good saying this, but I think your parents would have been happy to know you are 

going to marry a girl from a family that supports you this well." Yuri finally said and looked at the blonde 

woman that was standing beside her.

Tiffany, Jessica and Krystal smiled when they saw Taeyeon nodded her head in agreement to what 

Yuri was saying. Taeyeon looked up at her black haired friend with a smile on her face.

"I think my parents are smiling widely from wherever they're watching." Taeyeon said with a smile and

turned to Jessica that smiled back at her. The five group of women exchanged warm smiles.

"And I think it's time to see the engaged couple dance." Yuri said with a smile. The smiles on Jessica 

and Taeyeon's faces faded and they looked at each other.

"Yuri I don't think it's a good idea." Jessica said when she felt she was being pushed by Tiffany and 

Krystal to the floor that was for dancing.

"Don't worry, me and Tiffany is also going to dance. Krystal and Sulli can also dance with us, right?" 

Yuri looked at the younger woman that was walking beside her wife on Jessica left side. 

"Of course. Let me just find Sulli first and I'll join you on the dance floor." Krystal said and went off to 

find her partner. Taeyeon and Jessica continued to be dragged out on the dance floor by their best 

friends. When they were in the middle of the dance floor Tiffany and Yuri left them there alone and 

Jessica and Taeyeon was found standing still while facing each other.

"C'mon you two! Dance!" Tiffany shouted from the side.

Because of Tiffany's shout the couple on the dance floor had earned some of the other peoples 

attention too. The music changed to a more fitting song for the couple to dance to and everyone waited 

for the couple to begin moving to the music.

"I guess we don't have much of a choice now." Taeyeon said and looked at Jessica. Jessica smiled at 

her and naturally placed one hand on Taeyeon's waist and held Taeyeon's hand with the other.

"Let me lead this first dance." Jessica said with a smile. Taeyeon chuckled and placed her free hand on 

Jessica's shoulder.

"Then I'll be in your care, my love." Taeyeon said and smiled.

Jessica smiled back at her and started to move them after the music that was played. While the couple 

danced around the space they had been given to dance on they could hear some of the people that 

watched cheer them on. The grins on Jessica and Taeyeon's faces widened and they continued to 

dance while the people around them started to slowly fade away from their world.

The couple continued to dance while being immersed in each other. They didn't notice how other 

couples joined them on the dance floor, and they continued to dance like they were alone in the room. 

Happiness glowed from them and they didn't stop until the last song was played.

TaengSic part 11

The blonde woman closed the suitcase that was on top of the bed with a smile on her face. She turned 

and saw the chestnut haired woman was almost done with packing her own suitcase.

Taeyeon lifted on her own suitcase and started carrying it to the hall. She heard Jessica closed her own 

suitcase when she had exited the bedroom. She turned to looked behind her and saw Jessica carrying 

the suitcase with her as well.

Taeyeon flashed a smile towards the chestnut haired woman and continued towards the hall with the 

heavy baggage in her hand.

"So, is everything packed?" Taeyeon asked after she had walked her suitcase to the hall. She turned 

around and saw her fiancée carrying her own suitcase and placing it down beside hers.

"Yup, everything is packed." Jessica said and checked the list she had in her hand. Taeyeon nodded 

her head and looked at the two suitcases on the floor. A grin appeared on her lips and she turned to 

Jessica again.

"Then we're almost good to go." Taeyeon said and approached the chestnut haired woman. A smile 

appeared on Jessica's lips when she felt Taeyeon wrap her arms around her.

"Why almost? Did we forget something?" Jessica asked when she noticed Taeyeon's face inch closer 

to hers.

"Hmm? What was it? I don't remember." Taeyeon said stopping barely an inch away from Jessica. 

Jessica smiled while feeling Taeyeon's breath brush against her face as the woman spoke.

"That's bad. Hopefully it wasn't something important." Jessica said with a mischievous grin and star ted 

to back away from Taeyeon.

"No, it is important." Taeyeon said and stopped Jessica from escaping by holding her tighter. A giggle 

escaped Jessica's lips and she wrapped her arms around Taeyeon's neck.

"Let's get it done then. We have some hours befor e we're going to the airport." Jessica said and leaned 

closer to Taeyeon. Taeyeon smiled triumphantly and leaned in to capture Jessica's lips. When she was 

a mere millimeter away from the lips her phone went off. A groan escaped her lips and she and Jessic a 

pulled away from each other.

"Yes, Taeyeon Kim speaking." Taeyeon answered her phone a bit annoyed. Knowing her fiancée's 

annoyance Jessica grinned and leaned closer to Taeyeon, placing featherly kisses on Taeyeon's neck 

while Taeyeon was trying to have a normal conversation on the phone.

"Ah... yes... Wait now?" Taeyeon pushed Jessica away from her, making Jessica look at her confused. 

The chestnut haired woman waited for Taeyeon to finish her phone call while she settled with just 

keeping her arms around Taeyeon as it seemed it was something important going on.

"I understand. Yes. I'll be there." Taeyeon ended the phone call and looked at Jessica. Seeing Taeyeon 

had finished the call Jessica leaned closer to resume kissing the blonde woman's neck.

"Sica..." Taeyeon tried to push away the chestnut haired woman that continued to kiss her neck while 

leading them backwards.

"Hmm?" Jessica asked and moved her kisses higher up.

"I have to go."

Jessica completely halted in her action and pulled away to look at Taeyeon's face that showed an 

apologetic smile. A sigh left Jessica's lips and she stroked her fingers through her hair before her eyes 

landed on Taeyeon again.

"Tell me you're kidding." Jessica demanded.

"I'm sorry." Taeyeon apologized and kissed Jessica's lips. Jessica wanted to take the kiss further but 

the blonde broke the kiss before anything could happen. A whine left Jessica's lips and she tried to hold 

on to Taeyeon that was now trying to walk away.

"I'm really sorry Jessica." Taeyeon kissed the pouting lips and managed to wriggle free from the 

chestnut haired woman.

"What about the plane?" Jessica asked as she remembered they were supposed to go to the airport 

soon. Taeyeon smiled a reassuring smile and pecked Jessica's cheek.

"Don't worry, I'll be there in time. I promise." Taeyeon said. The pout on Jessica's lips never left and she 

watched as Taeyeon put on her shoes.

"I can't believe you're leaving me in this state." Jessica mumbled and hugged her arms around her 

body. Taeyeon smiled apologetic at her again.

"See it from the bright side. You'll have the apartment for yourself until you go to the airport." Taeyeon 

said and walked up to the pouting woman. A slap landed on her shoulder.

"Yeah, that's so optimistic of you." Jessica mumbled angry. Taeyeon smiled again and wrapped her 

arms around Jessica and kissed the pouting woman again.

"Where do you have to go anyway?" Jessica asked when they had broken the kiss.

"Something about papers at work." Taeyeon said. Jessica sighed and wrapped her arms around 

Taeyeon.

"Can't papers wait thirty minutes? I only need fifteen, I promise." Jessica said and looked Taeyeon in 

the eyes. The blonde woman bit her lower lip, the invitation was  very tempting.

"I know you want too." Jessica began using her seductive voice and started massaging the nape of 

Taeyeon's neck. "Please?" Jessica batted her eyelashes while still keeping Taeyeon in an eye lock.

"What the hell. Better now than on some cramped airplane." Taeyeon said and kissed Jessica. Jessica 

smiled into the kiss, knowing she had won this battle.

---The chestnut haired woman took off her sunglasses when she saw the brown-haired woman and black 

woman coming towards her. A wide smile appeared on Tiffany's face and she hugged Jessica that half 

heartedly hugged her back. Noticing Jessica was alone Tiffany started to look around for the other 

person she expected to be there.

"Where's Taeyeon?" Tiffany finally asked when she didn't see the blonde woman anywhere.

"She had to get some papers from work, or something of that sort." Jessica said and put on her 

sunglasses again when a group of people came closer to them. Tiffany waited for the group of people 

to pass by them before she shot her best friend a questioning look.

"I don't know. She said she would be here in time for the plane. Should we go and take a coffee while 

we wait?" Jessica asked and grabbed her luggage and started to walk towards an nearby cafe.

Without protesting against Jessica's suggestion Yuri and Tiffany started following her to a cafe where 

the three friends ordered one coffee each and sat down on a table to wait for Taeyeon to arrive at the 

airport.

Tiffany noticed how Jessica seemed to always check her phone like she waited for someone to call her, 

or like she would be late for something.

"Would your parents go with us today or take a later plane?" Tiffany asked to make Jessica think about 

something else. Jessica looked up from her phone she had looked at for the up nth time the last past 

ten minute.

"They will go with us. Krystal will however take a later plane with Sulli." Jessica replied and shifted her 

eyes to her phone again. Yuri and Tiffany exchanged glances before they turned to the woman sitting 

opposite them.

"Sica, I don't think she'll call any sooner if you continue to look at the phone that much." Yuri said. Her 

words made Jessica look up from her phone, and with an embarrassed smile she put her phone in her 

pocket instead and turned her attention to her two friends that smiled at her.

"Don't worry too much. I'm sure she'll come here as fast as she can when she's done with what she had 

to do." Tiffany said with a smile.

"Yeah, and knowing Taeyeon, I'm sure she wouldn't spend much time on some papers when she could 

be with you instead." Yuri added.

Letting her friends’ words sink in Jessica started to feel calmer, as she knew her friends spoke the truth. 

She smiled at them and nodded her head agreeing to what they had said.

"Yeah. She'll probably be here any minute." Jessica said and took a sip from her coffee cup.

---The blonde woman entered the office with a disappointed look on her face. A man with a pile of papers 

in his arms instantly went up to her side and started bowing to her while chanting  apologies.

"I'm so sorry that I had to call you here Taeyeon. I should have fixed it yesterday when you were here." 

The man said while Taeyeon went to take a seat by her desk. The blonde woman sighed and motioned 

for the man to give him the papers that had been so important she had to leave Jessica.

"You shouldn't apologise to me. You should send your apologises to Mrs. Jung's oldest daughter." 

Taeyeon said and started filling in the papers the man had placed in front of her. The man's eyes 

widened when he heard who he should send his apologises to. He gulped and looked nervously at 

Taeyeon that was oblivious to him.

"W-w-were you with Mrs. Jung's daughter?" The man stammered. Taeyeon looked up from the paper 

she was about to fill in, she looked at the man like he was stupid.

"Yes, I was with her, and I'm going to meet Mrs. Jung later on as well." Taeyeon said and continued 

with her task.

"O-oh. I'm sorry." The man once again started bowing. Taeyeon sighed and put the papers she had 

filled in a pile and held it out towards the man.

"You'll be sorry when Mrs. Jung finds out this happened. You should be lucky she'll be away for two 

weeks now." Taeyeon said and gave the papers back to the man. He looked surprised at Taeyeon for 

knowing that their boss had taken two weeks off.

"Y-yeah. And when will we see you back?" He asked. And watched the woman that had started to pack 

up her stuff.

"In a month. And also, if there's anything else you forget to tell me before I walk out of this office, tell Mr. 

Park about it. Mr. Park will take care of my work when I'm gone." Taeyeon said and begun moving 

towards the door. The man bowed to her and hurriedly start ed to walk Taeyeon out of the law firm.

"I see. Have a nice vacation Ms. Kim." The man bowed towards her when she had reached the door of 

the law firm. Taeyeon shook her head because the man was acting so tensed around her. She started 

to wonder how the people at the law firm will treat her when she comes back and share the same name 

with the boss.

"Don't worry too much Choi. Just do your work well and our boss will be pleased." Taeyeon told the 

man and gave him an encouraging pat on his shoulder before she went out of the law firm.

A sigh escaped the blonde woman when she walked to her car that stood parked at the parking lot 

beside the law firm. She checked her time and got revealed when she saw she still had time before she 

needed to be on the air port. A smile graced the blonde's lips when her thoughts went to the woman 

that probably was waiting for her on the air port.

Soon I'll be there. Taeyeon thought and started her car.

---Two pair of eyes watched as the chestnut haired woman continued to pace back and forth between the 

three suitcases that stood on the floor. The woman once in a while stopped to check the time on her 

phone, a sigh left her lips when no messages or missed phone call was displayed, and she continued to 

pace.

The two pair of eyes exchanged concerned looks before they looked back at the anxious woman that 

continued to move around. She stopped again and looked at her phone, a frustrated sigh escaped her 

lips and she looked at the two women that were watching her. She held out her  phone for them to look 

at.

"She's late!" Jessica finally exclaimed. "And no phone call, no messages, nothing!" Jessica said started 

pacing again. Tiffany and Yuri looked at each other before they looked back at Jessica again.

"Twenty minutes ago she said she would be here in fifteen minutes. She's five minutes late." Jessica 

mumbled to herself.

"Jessi, remember there's a lot of traffic around this hour. It could be because of that that she's late." 

Tiffany tried to calm her friend down. Jessica however didn't seem to listen and continued to pace back 

and forth. Yuri and Tiffany exchanged worried glances before they turned to Jessica that still anxiously 

paced around.

"Hello!" A woman's voice said from behind Yuri and Tiffany. The couple together with Je ssica turned 

towards the source of the voice, only to see Mrs. Jung with Mr. Jung arriving after having bought 

coffees for themselves. With a disappointed look on her face Jessica went back to pacing while now 

four pair of eyes settled on her.

"Taeyeon still haven't shown up?" Mrs. Jung asked the couple that watched Jessica. Both Tiffany and 

Yuri shook their heads. A puzzled look appeared on Mrs. Jung's face  and she looked at her daughter 

that didn't seem to be able to relax.

"Can't you call her?" Mrs. Jung asked and turned to Yuri. The black haired woman took out her phone 

and dialed her best friend's number. Mrs. and Mr. Jung together with Tiffany watched Yuri while the 

woman waited for Taeyeon to pick up. Hearing someone on the other line pick up Yuri's expression 

brightened.

"Oh, Taeyeon." Yuri said when someone had picked up.

Hearing her fiancée's name Jessica instantly snatched the phone away from Yuri's hand.

"Where are you? You said you'd be here twenty minutes ago." Jessica asked.

Everyone watched as Jessica's eyes widened and her expression went from confused to shocked. 

Jessica's mouth hung open and she nodded from now and then, they took notice of how Jessica 

composure seemed to shrink.

"Y-yes, th-thank y-you." Jessica stammered.

Her hand fell limp to her side and she stared in front of her like she was in a trance. Her parents and 

friends that still were watching and waiting for her to say something looked questioning at each other 

because of Jessica's weird behavior.

"What did she say dear?" Mrs. Jung finally asked as she didn't feel like waiting. In a dazed and 

confused state Jessica turned to her mother, she looked down at the phone in her hand before she 

looked up at her mother again.

"Taeyeon is..." Jessica looked down at the phone again before she looked up at her mother. "in the 

hospital." Jessica finished her sentence.

It became silent around the group and everyone waited for Jessica to say something else. But nothing 

came from the chestnut haired woman and she looked down at Yuri's phone that still was in her hand. 

When she looked up again she had tears in her eyes and everyone understood this was serious.

"Oh my God, why? Did you speak to the doctor? Which hospital is she in?" Mrs. Jung asked and went 

to put her arms around her daughter. Jessica sniffled and Tiffany came to Jessica's other side and 

embraced her best friend.

"It was a nurse. She said Taeyeon had been in a car accident." Jessica cried. Mrs. Jung rubbed 

Jessica's back while Tiffany continued to hug her.

"Did she say anything about her condition?" Tiffany asked and looked at Yuri whose bright expression 

had turned solemn. Jessica shook her head and sniffled again.

"She said that if I can I need to come to the hospital." Jessica cried.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the hospital." Mr. Jung finally spoke up. He looked at the 

three younger women before he looked at his wife. "I'll drive." He announced and the five of them 

began walking to the exit of the airport. The trip to San Francisco long forgotten.

---When they arrived at the hospital and they had told a nurse they were here for Taeyeon Kim, the nurse 

had showed them to a doctor that had been waiting for them. The doctor motioned for the five of them 

to take a seat and he took a seat opposite them.

"How's Taeyeon?" Jessica asked. She had stopped crying but she was trembling, and to have some 

support and comfort Tiffany and her mother were holding her hands.

The doctor smiled sadly at her and looked at the five people that sat in front of him.

"May I ask how you're related to Ms. Kim?" The doctor asked.

"She's Ms. Kim's fiancée." Mrs. Jung spoke up for Jessica. The doctor nodded his head while he 

studied the other people that sat beside Jessica.

"Does Ms. Kim have any relatives?" The doctor asked. Jessica shook her head.

"She has never had any contact with any relatives, and her parents are dead." Jessica said. The doctor 

nodded again.

His expression became serious and he looked directly at Jessica. Jessica tightened her hold on her 

mother's and Tiffany's hand she was holding.

"You see, Ms. Kim came in with serious wounds after the car accident. We had to put her in surgery 

immediately." The doctor began. The five people in front of him nodded their heads.

"We tried our best, but Ms. Kim was so badly injured she couldn't survive the blood lost she already had 

suffered. Her heart stopped during the surgery, and we tried to revive her but it was futile." He ended.

Tears started to stream down Jessica's cheeks again and she bent her head down. She had lost the 

strength in her body and wasn't holding the hands that held hers anymore, and she let the tears fall 

while she felt like she was choking.

She felt two pair of arms wrap around her, like they were trying to keep her from falling apart, but 

because it wasn't the pair of arms she longed for to hold her now, it felt like she slipped through the 

arms and continued to fall into pieces.

She looked up at the doctor that still sat in front of them. He had a sad expression on his face when he 

met her gaze. She sniffled and tried to muster up some kind of strength to talk, one last chance, one 

last request.

"M-may I s-see her?" Jessica said between her sobs. The doctor first looked surprised, but his 

expression softened and he nodded his head.

"I'll fix for you to see her." He said.

---They entered the morgue that were in the basement of the hospital. The room where cold and the first 

thing they noticed when they went inside was a table where something was covered by a white sheet.

The doctor went to the table and motioned for Jessica and her parents and friends to come too. With 

her mother's arms around her, and her hand held by Tiffany, Jessica went towards where the doctor 

was. He grabbed one end of the sheet and with a swift motion he had removed the sheet.

Jessica let out a gasp and put her hand over her mouth when she saw the sight in front of her. Yuri and 

Tiffany embraced beside her while her mother hugged her. But Jessica didn't take notice of it, she only 

could take in the sight of Taeyeon that lied completely motionless in front of her.

The blonde woman she had remembered kissing a few hours ago before Taeyeon had went to fix the 

papers lied motionless in front of her. If it wasn't for how cold and pale Taeyeon looked like, Jessica 

would think the woman was sleeping. But Jessica knew, no matter if she wanted to or not, that Taeyeon 

wasn't sleeping. She was dead.

The chestnut haired woman sniffled and reached out a hand towards her fiancée's corpse. Her fingers 

traced a cut on Taeyeon's cheek, she moved the hand towards Taeyeon's blonde hair that probably 

had been washed as there were no traces of blood in it. A sniffle escaped her again and she placed her 

hand over Taeyeon's chest. Not feeling the familiar heart beat she always had bee n able to feel.

Jessica fell down on her knees, not able to take this anymore. Mrs. Jung hugged her and tried to make 

her stand up but Jessica only shook her head and mumbling objections. She held Taeyeon's limp hand 

tightly, the hand that were ice cold  compared to hers now. She wanted to try to make it warm, like she 

usually did, but her mother tried to pull her away from the body.

"No." Jessica began saying louder when her mother tried to pull her back.

"No!" Jessica cried and clutched harder onto Taeyeon's limp hand.

Her cries filled the morgue, and her parents and and friends tried their best to make Jessica let go of 

Taeyeon. But Jessica continued to chant 'no' while she remained by her fiancée's body's side.

TaengSic part 12

"No!" Jessica shouted and opened her eyes. Her eyes met with brown orbs that looked startled and 

shocked at her. Confused Jessica looked down at the coffee cup that was being held in front of her 

before she looked up at the woman that stood before her.

"I thought you said you wanted coffee, unnie." Krystal said still holding out the coffee cup towards 

Jessica.

"Oh, right. Thanks." Jessica lifted her left hand to grab the cup. It was then she noticed the two rings on 

her ring finger, then everything came back to her. The trip to San Francisco, the wedding, the wedding 

night, the honeymoon, her pregnancy, their first daughter, Taeyeon's pregnancy, and why she was in a 

hospital right now.

A smile appeared on Jessica's lips and she let out a relieved sigh when she realized the accident only 

had been a dream. She felt Krystal taking a seat beside her and she could see in the corner of her eye 

that the younger woman was looking at her.

"You seem more relaxed now." Krystal pointed out and sipped her coffee. Jessica nodded her  head.

"Yeah." Jessica said. Krystal furrowed her eyebrows when she heard Jessica's answer.

"You do know that you got thrown out of the hospital room because you were freaking out, right?" 

Krystal said and while looking at Jessica worriedly. Jessica widened her eyes when she remembered 

how she had ended up on the bench outside of the hospital room Taeyeon was currently inside.

She turned to her younger sister and opened her mouth to say something but changed her mind when 

she saw Tiffany and Yuri coming towards them at the other end of the hallway. A smile appeared on 

Jessica's lips when she saw Tiffany was carrying two girls in her arms while a boy was walking in 

between Tiffany and Yuri while holding Yuri's hand.

"Look Sooyeon-ah, mommy seems to feel better." Tiffany said to one of the girls in her arms. The girl 

Tiffany spoke to stretched out her arms towards Jessica when the woman had stopped in front of her. 

Jessica smiled and took her daughter from Tiffany's arms.

"Here's my little girl." Jessica said and put the little girl that resembled both her and Taeyeon in her lap. 

The girl nuzzled closer to her and looked towards the door that was in front of them.

"Where mommy Taeyeon?" The little girl asked. Jessica stroked the girl's hair and looked towards the 

door which the girl looked at.

"Mommy Taeyeon is picking up your siblings." Jessica said with a smile. The girl nodded her head 

slowly and turned towards the girl in Tiffany's lap. The girl that was eating ice cream reached out her ice 

cream towards Sooyeon which the girl gladly took a taste of. The two mothers looked at each other and 

smiled.

"Do you want ice cream?" Jessica asked the little girl on her lap. Sooyeon shook her head. "You don't 

want ice cream?" Jessica asked puzzled.

"I want mommy Taeyeon." Sooyeon mumbled and clutched at the fabric of Jessica's shirt. Jessica 

smiled sadly and hugged her daughter.

"She will be here soon." Jessica promised.

The four women together with the three kids sat in silence in the hospital hallway. Patie nts, nurses and 

doctors passed by them in the hallway when time ticked away. The two mothers had let go of their 

daughters to let them sit on the floor in front of them to play. The two girls was now clapping their hands 

together in some kind of a game. Kyungkyu that sat on Yuri's lap beside Tiffany was playing a game on 

his PSP.

Jessica saw two people coming at the other end of the hallway and she turned her head towards the 

two people that seemed to come their way. She smiled at her mother and father tha t came to join them. 

After greeting the four women on the bench, and also greeting their granddaughter they turned to the 

door to the hospital room where Taeyeon was inside.

"Why aren't you in there?" Mrs. Jung asked her daughter and nodded her head towar ds the door.

"She freaked out and the nurses couldn't have her there." Krystal said nonchalantly while looking at her 

nails. Jessica sent a glare towards her sister but when she met her mother's disappointed look she felt 

embarrassed.

"I knew it. I told you she would be exactly like you!" Mrs. Jung said and shoved her husband's shoulder. 

The man looked innocent at her wife while he pretended to act like he didn't know what she was talking 

about.

"But apparently it was Taeyeon-unnie that said she didn't want unnie there." Krystal said and earned 

her parents and Jessica's attention.

"Be quite." Jessica hissed but the eldest daughter was already receiving the disappointed looks her 

parents were giving her. She laughed embarrassed.

"Well, she's moody and all that. You know how it is." Jessica said embarrassed. Her parents looked at 

each other before they looked at their eldest daughter; both of them shaking their heads.

"I'll pretend I haven't heard anything of what was said during this conversation." Mrs.  Jung said and 

bent down to her granddaughter on the floor. The little girl smiled upon seeing her grandmother.

"Hello." Sooyeon said and bowed towards the woman even though she already had greeted her before. 

The girl was becoming shy in the presence of her grandmother.

"Oh, I know that look." Tiffany said upon seeing the girl's expression. "Did you know she always does 

that towards Yuri? Yuri doesn't know what to do so she ends up giving her candy and other things in 

hope of getting her more comfortable." Tiffany said while she turned to the mother of the girl. Jessica 

began laughing when she heard what techniques her daughter used at the people that usually babysit 

her.

"She's a slug one." Jessica said and patted her daughter's head.

"It's not something you should praise her for though." Krystal pointed out. Jessica stopped patted 

Sooyeon's head and turned to her sister to reply with a witty comeback but was never allowed to do so 

as the door to the hospital room in front of them opened.

"Taeyeon wants to see Jessica." The nurse that had come out from the room said. All eyes landed on 

Jessica that seemed frozen to her spot. It wasn't until Krystal nudged her that Jessica got up from her 

seat and followed the nurse into the room.

The first thing Jessica's eyes landed on was the now brown haired woman that was on the hospital bed. 

A baby was in Taeyeon's arms and the woman smiled upon seeing Jessica. Jessica wanted to go 

forward but got stopped by another nurse that was holding another baby in front of  her. Jessica looked 

at the baby in the nurse's arms.

"Congratulation. It's twins." The nurse said. 

Jessica that had known it would be twins all along took the baby from the nurse before she went to the 

chair that was beside Taeyeon's bed. The married couple smiled at each other while they both looked 

at the babies they were holding.

"It's girls." Taeyeon said tiredly. Jessica smiled and leaned closer to Taeyeon to kiss the woman's 

forehead.

"You did a good job." Jessica said with a smile.

"You mean delivering the twins you wanted?" Taeyeon asked. Jessica chuckled and  cradled the girl in 

her arms.

"Yeah." Jessica said and looked at Taeyeon. "My family is complete now." Jessica said. Taeyeon 

smiled and let the nurse take the baby from her arms to put it in a bed. The baby in Jessica's arms was 

also taken away and the couple looked at the two babies that were sleeping in the two beds beside 

each other.

Jessica grabbed Taeyeon's hand and at the same time the door to the hospital room opened and Mrs. 

Jung peeked her head in. Jessica motioned for her mother to be quite and pointed at the two sleeping 

babies. Mrs. Jung nodded her head understanding before she said the same thing to the people outside 

the room before she made her way in. Mr. Jung was following her while carrying Sooyeon. Tiffany 

together with Yuri, their daughter Stephanie, and son Kyungkyu entered too.

When Sooyeon had taken a look at her two sisters that were sleeping she quickly ran towards her 

mothers by the hospital bed. Jessica helped the little girl up on the bed and the girl quickly hugged 

Taeyeon that hugged the small girl back. The mothers looked at each other and smiled. Taeyeon 

hugging Sooyeon while Jessica was stroking the little girl's head while they watched their fam ily and 

friends admire their two other newly born kids.

---Seventeen years later

The sound of high heels clicking against the floor of the airport was heard as the two young women 

walked through the arrival exit. Even though they were tired from the long trip they were chatting 

happily upon their arrival in their home country. Both of them stopped and scanned the area of people 

that were waiting for people that just had arrived, their eyes landed on an older woman that was waving 

at them. Smiles appeared on their faces upon seeing the woman and they went to where the woman 

was standing.

With their luggage dragging behind them they went up to the woman that had a wide smile on her face. 

The smiles on the two younger women's faces widened too and the woman that had long blonde hair 

released her hold on her luggage and stretched out her arms towards the woman that had waited for 

them.

"Omma I missed you!" Sooyeon exclaimed when she embraced the woman. Taeyeon chuckled and 

patted her eldest daughter's back when they hugged.

"I missed you too Sooyeon-ah." Taeyeon said.

After the daughter and mother had stopped hugging they turned to the other younger woman that stood 

and watched them. The woman that had strawberry red hair smiled at Taeyeon, and the elderly

woman  stretched out her arms towards the other woman as well.

"Good to see you Stephanie." Taeyeon said and embraced the red-haired woman. Stephanie smiled 

while she was being embraced by her godmother.

"It's good to see you too auntie." Stephanie said and released Taeyeon from her hold. Taeyeon smiled 

at the young woman and turned to her daughter again. That's when her smile faded and she looked 

back and forth between the two younger women.

"God, your moms are going to kill you when they see your hair ." Taeyeon commented. The blonde and 

red-haired woman looked at each other before they looked back at the older woman.

"But it looks good." Sooyeon said. Taeyeon shook her head and turned her on her heels to exit the 

airport with the two younger women tailing behind her.

"Try to convince your mom that." Taeyeon said to the blonde girl. The two younger women exchanged 

worried glances while they exited the airport with Taeyeon leading them to the car.

The three women arrived by a car that seemed seemingly new by the looks of it. The blonde woman 

stopped and looked at the car while Taeyeon went to open the trunk for them to put in their suitcases in.

"Did you buy a new car?" Sooyeon asked while she placed her suitcase in the trunk. Taeyeon shook 

her head and closed the trunk.

"No, your mom bought a new car, for you." Taeyeon corrected. Sooyeon's eyes widened in surprise 

while she looked at the white car.

"It's mine? Can I drive?" Sooyeon asked her omma excited.

"Pfft, no. You probably don't know how to drive properly when you've been in Britain this long. You'll 

probably drive on the left side!" Taeyeon said and entered the driver seat. A pout appeared on the 

blonde woman's lips while the red-haired laughed and patted her back.

"Next time Sooyeon-ah." Stephanie said and pushed the blonde woman to enter the car.

Still with a frown on her face Sooyeon entered the car with Stephanie following right after. When the 

two women were seated in the car Taeyeon started the car and speed of towards their home.

"Steph we're going to stop by our place first, is it okay?" Taeyeon asked and checked in the rear view 

mirror on the red-haired woman in the backseat. The woman smiled, her eyes forming crescent moons 

exactly like her mother's eyes did when she smiled.

"It's okay auntie." Stephanie assured the woman. Taeyeon smiled back at her and focused her eyes on 

the road.

---The car took a turn and came to a stop on a driveway outside a white house with two floors. The 

women inside the car went out of it and Taeyeon took the lead up to the house while Sooyeon and 

Stephanie followed her with their luggage in tow.

Taeyeon opened the door to the house and entered, making sure that Stephanie and Sooyeon also 

came inside with their belongings. Seeing them inside Taeyeon turned around.

“I’m back with two young ladies here.” Taeyeon announced their arrival.

"My daughter!" Jessica and Tiffany said in union when they heard Taeyeon and the two younger 

women had entered the house. The smiles on the mother's faces however faded and they completely 

stopped in their tracks when they saw the blonde and red-haired woman that stood by the door.

"Y-your hair..." Tiffany pointed at her daughter's hair. Jessica and Tiffany exchanged glances before 

they looked back at their two daughters that had been in the UK to study.  

"What have you done to your hair?!" Jessica asked her now blonde daughter. She remembered last 

year when she had sent off her daughter to study, and it had been a brunette girl at that time.

"We dyed it." Sooyeon said and looked at the red-haired woman by her side. Stephanie nodded her 

hair.

"My hair was blonde too at first, but because people got us mixed up I dyed my hair red instead." 

Stephanie explained with a smile.

"But why red?!" Tiffany yelled and walked up to her daughter that had grown taller than her. She 

grabbed the red locks of the girl's hair and looked sadly at it. "Your beautiful hair..." Tiffany said and 

released the hair strands.

"Think of it as my red phase mom." Stephanie said with a smile.

"Like hell I'd. Go back to your school and read about what happens when you dye your hair in weird 

colours. You're gonna go bald!" Tiffany said and shoved her daughter's shoulder.

"Mom..." Stephanie began whining.

"You too Sooyeon! Don't you know what happens when you dye your hair in colours like this?" Jessica 

scolded her oldest daughter and held out Sooyeon's hair for the girl to look at.

"I know, but mom, you and omma once had blonde hair too." Sooyeon said with a smile. Jessica 

released her daughter's hair and turned to Taeyeon that was talking to Yuri a few feet away. The 

mother of the daughter looked back at the blonde girl. A grin on Sooyeon's face was plastered on her 

lips, but Jessica wasn't smiling at all.

"That was a long time ago. And you shouldn't do everything your mom and omma have done!" Jessica 

continued to scold the poor girl. Sooyeon winced when Jessica raised her voice, the blonde daughter 

looked at the red-haired woman that was looking at her helplessly while her own mother was standing 

beside her with arms crossed and a disappointed look on her face.

"Sica, let her enter the house before you scold her. Remember she has been on a long flight." Taeyeon 

finally went to her daughter's rescue and tried to calm Jessica down. Jessica continu ed to look at her 

daughter with a disappointed look.

"Mom, please. Let this go. Besides, I suit in blonde. Don't I?" Sooyeon tried to calm down her mother. 

Jessica let out a sigh and looked at her daughter from head to toe, a scoff was heard from Jessica  and 

she turned to walk to the backdoor of the house.

"You only suit in blonde hair because you got my looks." Jessica said before she disappeared out from 

the back door.

Sooyeon looked at Taeyeon. The omma of the daughter shrugged her shoulders, and a sm ile appeared 

on the daughter’s lips. A smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips as well and she patted her daughter's back.

"Leave your things in your room and come outside." Taeyeon said and left the same way Jessica had 

done. The blonde daughter of the parents that had just left turned to Stephanie that still was looking 

helplessly at her. She saw the red head mouthed 'help me' when she looked at her.

Sooyeon turned to Tiffany that seemed to not let go of the fact her daughter had dyed her hair in a 

'weird' color. Sooyeon walked up to the older woman that was like an aunt to her. She wrapped her 

arms around the woman's shoulders and looked at Tiffany's disappointed expression.

"Auntie, can't you let Steph off this time. She has done worse things, haven't she?"  Sooyeon asked and 

looked at Stephanie that now looked worriedly.

Tiffany shot her godchild a questioning look. She made Sooyeon break the embrace around her while 

she looked the blonde girl in the eyes.

"What worse things?" Tiffany asked.

A panicked expression appeared on Sooyeon's face and she looked at Stephanie that face palmed 

upon the blonde's failure in helping her. Sooyeon laughed embarrassed and looked back at Tiffany 

while rubbing the back of her head.

"Well, how would I know?" Sooyeon said sheepishly. Tiffany raised an eyebrow while she looked at the 

blonde girl that fidgeted under her stare.

"One day," Tiffany pointed at both girls that looked equally nervous about what she was going to say. 

"both of you are going to tell me everything abo ut these worse things that you have done. And 

depending on what it is, I might not tell your mom or omma about it, understand?" Tiffany turned to 

Sooyeon that looked panicked. The blonde girl could only nod her head in agreement.

"Good. Now I can let you off." Tiffany said and looked at Stephanie. "And you young lady, next time you 

come back from school I dare you to have your hair in any other color than your natural. You do now 

the basement has a lot of space, don't you?" Tiffany said and looked at her d aughter that had wide 

eyes.

"Yes mom." Stephanie said and bowed her head.

"Good, come outside when you're done here." Tiffany said and walked the same way Taeyeon and 

Jessica had went.

The two younger women looked at each other and then back to the older woman that were still in the 

hall. Yuri smiled at them and walked up to her daughter and embraced Stephanie in a tight hug.

"Don't listen to her. Your mom won't lock you in the basement." Yuri said after she had released her 

daughter. Stephanie could sigh in relief and watched as her omma hugged Sooyeon as well.

"But do listen to her considering your hair. Next time dye it black or some shade of brown. Strawberry 

red won't go well." Yuri suggested and patted Stephanie's shoulder before the older woman t urned to 

walk the same way Tiffany had went. Stephanie and Sooyeon was left in the hall with their luggage 

while the adults had went out to the backside.

"You!" Stephanie suddenly shouted and pushed Sooyeon's shoulder. Sooyeon looked innocently at 

Stephanie that had a disappointed look on her face.

"What?" Sooyeon asked and looked puzzled.

"You promised you would never tell or mention anything about those incidents to my parents!" 

Stephanie shouted and a frown appeared on her face. Sooyeon smiled and laughed while rubbing the 

back of her head.

"Well, I thought they might find out sooner or later anyway." Sooyeon said sheepishly. Stephanie sighed 

and grabbed her luggage while she made her way to the stairs and started to walk upstairs. Sooyeon 

hurriedly grabbed her luggage and went after the red-haired woman that had disappeared to the 

second floor.

Sooyeon noticed the door to her bedroom was open and she made her way there while she carried her 

heavy luggage. When she came inside the room she noticed the red-haired woman had occupied her 

bed. With a tired sigh Sooyeon let her luggage fall to the floor in the middle of the room and she closed 

her bedroom door while she went up to her bed and laid down next to Stephanie.

"Hey, Steph." Sooyeon poked the other woman's shoulder. Stephanie continued to lie immobile and 

didn't respond to Sooyeon's call.

"I'm sorry I mentioned it. But isn't it better if our parents hear about it from us than some other people?" 

Sooyeon asked and once again poked Stephanie's shoulder. This time the red-haired woman turned to 

face the blonde woman. Sooyeon smiled at the woman that sighed.

"Yes, but it's not something I want to tell them right when I come home." Stephanie said. Sooyeon 

nodded her head.

"True. It just slipped my tongue. I'm sorry." She said and looked into Stephanie's brown orbs. The red-haired woman sighed again, but a smile appeared on her lips this time.

"What would you do without me to cover up for you every time you say things you shouldn't?" 

Stephanie asked with a smile. Sooyeon chuckled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Be in trouble, I suppose." Sooyeon said with a smile.

Stephanie laughed tiredly and turned to lie on her side instead and faced the blonde woman beside her. 

The two women looked at each other in silent, until a yawn escaped Sooyeon's lips and a grin appeared 

on Stephanie's face.

"Told you you would feel tired if you didn't sleep on the plane." Stephanie teased and poked Sooyeon's 

stomach. Sooyeon covered her mouth and swatted the hand away.

"How were I supposed to sleep in that cramped place?" Sooyeon asked when she had stopped 

yawning.

"You're not someone to complain. I let you rest your legs on my lap. Still even in that position you didn't 

fall asleep." Stephanie said. A pout appeared on the blonde woman's lips.

"But you sure fell asleep." Sooyeon mumbled.

"Because I had no other choice. I couldn't exactly go anywhere with your legs all over me."

"They weren't all over you." Sooyeon mumbled with a pout.

"Aish, stop pouting like a kid." Stephanie complained and pinched Sooyeon's cheek. Sooyeon yelped 

and held her now red-marked cheek the other woman had pinched. Stephanie shook her head.

"Hey kiddo, let's sleep." Stephanie announced. Sooyeon stopped rubbing her cheek and furrowed her 

eyebrows.

"Who are you calling kiddo?" Sooyeon asked with a frown.

"Aish." Stephanie grabbed one of the pillows on the king sized bed and covered Sooyeon's face with it. 

She continued to hold the pillow against the face while she rested her head on Sooyeon's  waist.

"You talk too much Sooyeon." Stephanie said with a smile, when all she could hear now were 

Sooyeon's mumbles from under the pillow. When she removed the pillow Sooyeon took a loud inhale of 

air and sent a glare to the red-haired woman that used her stomach as a pillow.

"I don't talk too-" The blonde woman got slapped in the face by the pillow; making her shut up. Now with 

her mouth clamped shut she looked at Stephanie with a hurt expression on her face.

"It hurt." Sooyeon mumbled.

"Ssh, let's just rest for now." Stephanie said and closed her eyes and patted Sooyeon's stomach. 

Without saying anything else Sooyeon grabbed the pillow she had been choked and slapped with and 

put it under her head. She let out a sigh and closed her eyes to prepare to rest for a while.

---The chestnut haired woman sighed while she placed out the plates on the table. She looked towards 

the backdoor of the house, expecting so see that blonde young adult to come out through it. But the 

door remained closed, and the woman continued to place out plates on the table.

"Is something bothering you?" Taeyeon appeared by Jessica's side and placed out utensils beside the 

plates Jessica had placed out. Jessica turned to the brunette woman, a sigh left her lips, and she 

nodded towards the door.

"What happened to Sooyeon?" Jessica asked and continued with her task.

"I don't know. Maybe she went to rest a bit after the long flight." Taeyeon said and followed where 

Jessica went to place out the utensils. Jessica's eyebrows furrowed and she glanced towards the 

window on the second floor of the house.

"Do you think she's sick?" Jessica asked and followed Taeyeon with her eyes as the woman walked 

past her. Taeyeon chuckled and looked up from the utensils she was placing out. She made her way to 

Jessica with a smile on her face and wrapped one arm around her wife.

"First you scold her because she dyed her hair blonde, and the next second you're worried if she's sick. 

I wonder when you'll stop acting like a bipolar mother." Taeyeon sa id and smiled when she saw the 

frown on Jessica's face.

"I'm just worried about her wellbeing, alright! It can't be easy with the time difference and all. I'm sure 

she's jetlagged." Jessica said and a worried expression appeared on the mother's face.

Taeyeon nodded her head understanding. She released Jessica from her one-armed hug and turned 

towards the swimming pool that was on the backyard. Beside the pool stood two girls that looked like a 

replica of each other, they were helping a girl that looked like a younger version of Yuri to enter the 

pool. Taeyeon smiled upon seeing the sight.

"Taehyun! Jihyun!" Taeyeon called her twin daughters. The two girls spun around when they heard their 

mother's call. Taeyeon motioned for them to come and like diligent daughters they went to their mother.

"What's up, omma?" The twins said in unison.

"Can you go and check on your unnie? She's in her room with Stephanie right now." Taeyeon asked the 

twins. Both of them nodded their heads and hurried away to the backdoor  of the house to go in and 

check on their older sister.

After Taeyeon had sent away her younger daughters, the girl that looked like a younger version of Yuri 

appeared by her side. The girl had put on a sweater and was drying her wet hair with a towel while she 

looked the way the twins had went.

"Where did they go?" The young girl asked.

"They went to check on your Stephanie-unnie and Sooyeon-unnie." Taeyeon replied. The girl's eyes 

widened upon hearing where they had went.

"Unnie is back?" The young girl asked excited. 

"Miyoung-ah! Come here and help mom with the salad!" Tiffany suddenly shouted. The girl turned 

towards her mother, and with a pout on her lips she went to her.

"But mom, I wanna meet unnie." Miyoung said with a pout on her lips.

"You'll see her later. Let your unnie rest for now." Tiffany told her daughter and handed her a tomato 

and a knife to cut it with. Without any further objections the daughter went ahead with helping her 

mother preparing the salad.

While Taeyeon and Jessica were preparing the table, Tiffany and Miyoung were making the salad, Yuri 

was trying to heat up the barbecue. The black-haired woman was trying hard with lightning a fire.

"Omma, you're doing it wrong. Let me help." A man's voice suddenly spoke up beside Yuri.  Yuri turned 

towards the young man that had appeared, and with a pleased smile the woman watched as her son 

helped her turn on the barbecue.

"Thank you." Yuri said to the now older Kyungkyu. He smiled and put an arm around her mother's 

shoulder.

"I fixed the meat too. It's over there." He said and pointed at the table where Tiffany and Miyoung were 

standing. Yuri nodded her and patted her hand on her son's back.

"Good job." She praised.

The two of them smiled at each other and went to Tiffany and Miyoung to check how they were doing.

When Taeyeon and Jessica were done with setting the table they looked at the table with big smiles. 

They hadn't seen the table being so full ever since their oldest daughter had went overseas to study.

The sound of the back door opening made the two mothers turn their heads towards the door, their 

smiles fading as they saw Sooyeon's exiting through it, with both her sisters' in a headlock under each 

arm.

"Yah! Kim-Jung Sooyeon! Release your sisters this instant!" Jessica warned her oldest daughter. 

Sooyeon stopped in her tracks and looked surprised at her mother.

"Why?" Sooyeon asked and looked at each sister whose heads she had under each arm.

"You could hurt their necks. Release them. Now!" Jessica ordered.

With a frown Sooyeon released her sisters, and now the twins could stand up straight. Jessica and 

Taeyeon now noticed that their younger daughters almost were as tall as their oldest.

"Look at them, they're almost as big as me. What do you feed them?" Sooyeon as ked and pointed at 

her younger sisters.

"It's because we eat vitamins." Jihyun that stood on Sooyeon's left side said.

"And unnie never ate her vitamins when she was our age. That's why unnie will be small while we grow 

big." Taehyun added.

"Vitamins barely existed when I was young." Sooyeon said. Jessica rolled her eyes at her daughter's 

comment.

"I hope you're just acting stupid, and not really think like that." Jessica said.

"Well, my vitamins always seemed to disappear when I was going to take them ." Sooyeon said with a 

shrug.

"It's because you fed them to the dog!" Jessica said. Sooyeon once again winced when her mother had 

raised her voice.

"Easy now Sica." Taeyeon came to Jessica's side and put an arm around her waist. She smiled at her 

three daughters that stood in a line in front of her. "Why don't we go and take a seat by the table?" 

Taeyeon suggested.

The four members of the family agreed on Taeyeon's idea and they went to take a seat by the table. 

Taeyeon and Jessica took a seat beside each other, and Sooyeon ended up sitting beside Jessica 

while the twins took a seat beside each other opposite their other family members.

"Sooyeon-ah, where's Stephanie?" Tiffany asked when she noticed her oldest daughter was missing.

"Stephanie went to the bathroom." Sooyeon said. Tiffany furrowed her eyebrows and looked towards 

the door. She turned to her youngest daughter that was by her side, ready to tell her to check on her 

older sister but the back door opened and Tiffany turned to her head to see her oldest daughter come 

going.

"Unnie!" Miyoung exclaimed happily upon seeing her older sister and released the knife and lettuce she 

was about to cut to go up to the red-haired young woman that had arrived. With a tired smile Stephanie 

embraced her younger sister.

"Hello Miyoung-ah." Stephanie said and released the younger girl from her hug. When they broke the 

hug Kyungkyu went up to his younger sister and embraced her in a tight hug.

"Welcome back dongsaeng." He said and tightening his embrace.

"O-oppa, I-I c-can't b-breath." Stephanie tried to say when she felt like her insides were about to be 

squeezed out of her.

"Yah, Kyungkyu be careful with your younger sister." Tiffany slapped her son's shoulder, making him 

release Stephanie from his tight embrace.

"What? I just wanted to express how much I've missed her." Kyungkyu said and grinned. He ruffled 

Stephanie's red hair, making the younger woman swat away his hand in annoyance.

"Aigo, you're acting the same as usual." Tiffany commented on how her o ldest children acted and fixed 

Stephanie's bangs. "Kyungkyu go and help your omma with the meat. Steph go and take a seat." 

Tiffany ordered her kids around.

Her son went to help Yuri with the meat, but not before he had ruffled his youngest sister's hair. He got 

a displeased look from both his sisters and his mother. After fixing her younger sister's hair Stephanie 

went to take the seat beside Sooyeon by the table.

"Are you okay?" Sooyeon asked when the red-haired woman had settled down beside her. Stephanie 

furrowed her eyebrows and slightly shook her head.

"I'm a bit nauseous." Stephanie admitted.

Sooyeon grabbed the can of water that stood on the table in front of her. She poured up one glass and 

gave it to Stephanie which the red-haired woman took and smiled an appreciating smile.

"Thank you." Stephanie mouthed and sipped her water. Sooyeon flashed her a grin.

Tiffany that had taken a seat by the table watched how the two younger women interacted. She turned 

to Taeyeon and Jessica that sat on the ot her side of the table, when she met their gaze she knew they 

had also seen how their daughters interacted with each other.

Trying to act like they hadn't seen anything Taeyeon started to pour up water to her and Jessica, while 

Tiffany poured up water and handed it to her youngest daughter that sat beside Stephanie.

"The meat is done!" Yuri said and with the help of Kyungkyu they carried the two plates of meat and 

placed it on the table.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's eat." Yuri said when she had tak en a seat beside her wife. Everyone 

smiled upon Yuri's statement and they began taking from the plates of food.

The dinner went smoothly, and while everyone ate, they all took turns in asking Sooyeon and Stephanie 

how England and the UK was as they had been gone for almost a year now. The two young women 

took turn in telling their parents and siblings about how their school was, and what they did after school, 

and everything that happened in their life. Even though they felt like they already had told their moms 

and ommas that over the phone.

"Are everyone finished?" Taeyeon asked when she looked at the empty plates around the table.

"Yeah." Everyone said and some nodded their heads.

"Good. Taehyun, help me with the plates." Taeyeon ordered one of the t wins that sat opposite her by 

the table. Instead of getting one of the twins to help her carry the plates, she got both. And both Jessica 

and Taeyeon had learned that when you call one of the twins, you'd usually get both. The same when 

you ordered them to do something. The parents had it hard separating them from each other as they 

acted like they were glued to together.

Taehyun and Jihyun gathered two piles of plates they carried, and Taeyeon gathered one piles of 

plates, and the two twins and their mother started walking to the house to get the used plates inside.

Tiffany turned to her oldest daughter, she had noticed Stephanie hadn't eaten very much and she 

thought the girl looked a bit pale.

"Steph are you okay?" The mother asked concerned.

"Yes, mom. I only have a bit of headache." Stephanie replied. Yuri and Tiffany exchanged looks before 

they turned back to their daughter.

"That's why you should drink a lot of water. Didn't I tell you that before?" Sooyeon said and refilled 

Stephanie's glass.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Stephanie asked and turned to Sooyeon with a grin.

"You always tell me what to do, so I figured it should me my turn now." Sooyeon answered and with the 

same grin on her lips. Stephanie shook her head and took a sip of her glass of water.

"But you're like a kid that needs a mother to tell you what to do." Stephanie later stated after she had 

swallowed the water in her mouth.

The parents that had been observing their daughters looked at each other. Jessica exchanging  knowing 

looks with both Yuri and Tiffany before the three of them turned back to observe their two daughters.

"You two seems to have grown closer." Yuri finally pointed out. Yuri's statement made the black haired 

woman earn both of the younger women's attention. The red-haired woman and the blonde exchanged 

glances before they looked back at Yuri. 

"Isn't that what's expected of people that live together?" Stephanie asked and furrowed her eyebrows 

together as she didn't think it was strange for her to be c loser to Sooyeon.

"I don't think we're any closer than what we were before. The difference between before and now 

should be that we know each others routines inside and out as we've lived together." Sooyeon said and 

thought back to how she and Stephanie had been before they went off to UK to study and live together.

"I just thought you seemed closer than before." Yuri said and shrugged her shoulders.

"Your explanation to that, auntie, is that we've lived with each other for a year now, so that's why we 

seem closer." Sooyeon answered for them. Stephanie nodded her head in agreement, and Yuri settled 

with that answer while she exchanged looks with Tiffany and Jessica.

The parents sat in silence while they continued to watch the two daughters interact while they all waited 

for Taeyeon and the twins to come back. In the meantime the two daughters took turns in asking 

Miyoung how school was for her, both of them seeming much more interested in the younger sister of 

Stephanie than what they were of Kyungkyu. When they had heard Kyungkyu's university story, and his 

future plans, the two young women had switched to ask Miyoung about her life instead.

"It's boring here without unnies here." Miyoung later said and pouted. Both Stephanie and Sooyeon 

chuckled at Miyoung's cute act, and the older sister of the girl patted Miyoung's head.

"But you have your Taehyun and Jihyun-unnie here." Stephanie said in attempt of cheering her little 

sister up.

"But it's more fun with you unnies. Taehyun-unnie and Jihyun-unnie are always so busy." Miyoung said 

with a pout.

"I guess they're getting more busy now when they're starting their last year of High School." Stephanie 

said and turned to Sooyeon. Sooyeon nodded her head.

"They have a lot to do. And with our parents they probably have piles of things to do." Sooyeon said.

"Ouch!" A jab to the blonde's ribs made her turn her head towards her mother that sat beside her.

"What do you mean by that?" Jessica asked angry.

"I'm just saying that all our piano lessons, violin lessons, acting lessons, ballet lessons, private English 

lessons, and what else lessons we have to attend is taking up a lot of our spare time." Sooyeon said 

and rubbed her side where her mother had elbowed her.

"In case you didn't know, you started taking Eng lish lessons from the age of four, and your piano 

lessons started at the same age, then you ended those lessons at the age of nine and started taking 

violin lessons that you ended when you were twelve years old, and you took up acting and ballet 

lessons in stead that you stopped doing when you were seventeen. And your sisters are doing exactly 

the same!" Jessica scolded her daughter for putting the blame on her.

"I guess they aren't that busy with the schedule you put up for them then." Sooyeon said and rub bed 

her ear she thought would go deaf by her mother's yelling.

"No such schedule exists, and it never has. I just put you in English classes, everything else was your 

decision to start doing. Don't you remember begging me to buy you a violin because you wanted to start 

playing?"

"I don't ever remember the need to beg in my life." Sooyeon said and turned away from her mother to 

flash their observers a grin. 

"Yah, I haven't raised you to be like that!" Jessica scolded and slapped Sooyeon on the crown of h er 

head. "If you aren't careful, I will stop paying for your education and your apartment in London. I'll also 

take away your new car, and then you might be able to see how some people has to live their lives."

"Mom I was just kidding!" Sooyeon whined and rubbed her head.

"Auntie, in Sooyeon's defense I actually have to say she do know how people not with this  fortune is 

living. In London she volunteer in this orphan and other places for people that doesn't have homes. She 

gives them clothes and makes food to them with other people there that are there to help them. She 

even helped this old lady to a hospital once and paid for her hospital bill." Stephanie came into 

Sooyeon's defense.

Surprised to hear this side of her daughter Jessica looked at Sooyeon that still was rubbing her head 

with a pout on her lips. The daughter she always had seen as the joker suddenly had grown up so 

much in her eyes, but one thing was still bugging her.

"Sooyeon-ah, if you do things like that, why don't you tell me? You can't keep things to yourself like 

that." Jessica said, but in a more calmer tone this time.

"But it'll sound like I'm bragging." Sooyeon said and glanced at her mother. Jessica let out a sigh and 

put an arm around her daughter's shoulders.

"No, it won't sound like you're bragging. If there's something you're incapable of doing it's probably 

bragging." Jessica said and rubbed Sooyeon's head. A smile appeared on Sooyeon's lips and she 

turned to her mother.

"Really?" Sooyeon asked and looked at her mother. Jessica smiled.

"No, but it would be good if you actually were incapable of doing that." Jessica said.

"Yah!" Sooyeon exclaimed and frowned when everyone laughed at her reaction.

"You can't always be perfect Sooyeon-ah." Stephanie said and ruffled Sooyeon's hair.

"But I do know I'm far from perfect." Sooyeon mumbled. Stephanie giggled and ruffled Sooyeon's hair 

again, which earned her a pout from the latter, which made her pinch the blonde's cheek.

"I told you to stop pouting like a kid." Stephanie said when she had released the cheek and watched 

Sooyeon rub her red cheek.

"Dessert is here!" They heard Taeyeon's voice announce and they turned the way the voice was 

coming from and saw Taeyeon carrying a cake. The brunette woman placed the cake in front of 

Stephanie and Sooyeon that looked surprised at the cake.

"Welcome back." Taeyeon said and hugged her oldest daughter. Jessica joined in the hug and soon the 

two twins came to hug their older sister as well.

The same was for the Kwon-Hwang family. Yuri and Tiffany went to hug their oldest daughter and their 

other two kids came to join them. The two families shared laug hs and giggles while they hugged each 

other.

"I will never let you go back to your school now." Jessica said and continued to hug her daughter even 

though the others in the family had stopped hugging. Taeyeon shook her head at her wife's behavior.

"I'm feeling replaced." Taeyeon said and pouted. Jessica sent a glance towards her wife, a grin 

appeared on her lips. 

"Oh, don't feel replaced Taengoo-ah. You know none can take your place in the bedroom..."

"MOM!" Three shouts came from the three daughters of the two parents. Sooyeon now had been able 

to push her mother away from her while she was grimacing.

"God, and now I'm wondering why I looked forward to come home again." Sooyeon said and glanced at 

Stephanie that giggled.

"If you're worried you'll get more corrupted by your parents, you don't have to worry. You have your own 

perverse side that won't let you get corrupted." Stephanie assured the blonde. The parents that heard 

Stephanie's statement looked at each other before they looked back at the two daughters.

"Uhm, Steph, may I ask when you and Sooyeon are going to reveal you're dating?" Tiffany finally 

asked. The two young women looked at Tiffany with wide eyes.

"Well, you do know a lot about each other, and you're very close. We won't get angry if  you're dating." 

Taeyeon added. The two young women turned to look at Taeyeon.

"Actually, we'd like if you're dating, because then we'll be family for real." Jessica said and smiled at her 

daughter.

"Yeah, I'm okay with it too. Sooyeon is already like a sister to me." Kyungkyu assured the two women.

They all looked at the two women that remained quiet and wide eyed when they heard what their family 

members said. After a while they managed to look at each other before they looked back at Tiffany that 

had started this conversation.

"Mom, I think you've got things wrong." Stephanie began and fidgeted with her fingers. "Me and 

Sooyeon are just close, like best friends and even sisters. Like how you and aunt Jessica are." 

Stephanie explained. Disappointed looks appeared on Tiffany and Jessica's faces.

"Yeah, and even though we slept once with each other things are still like that!" Sooyeon spoke up. The 

disappointed looks on the parents faces disappeared and was replaced with shocked looks. Stephanie 

face palmed and Sooyeon looked questioning at everyone's reaction.

"This is why I tell you to not open your mouth every time you feel like talking. I told you to not tell our 

parents about it!" Stephanie scolded Sooyeon.

"Why? They already had it figured out anyway." Sooyeon whined. Stephanie let out a sigh while happy 

looks appeared on the parents faces. Excited Jessica and Tiffany looked at each other.

"Fany we'll become family!" Jessica said excited.

"I know Jessi! I've been waiting for this day since I g ot pregnant with Stephanie!" Tiffany said.

The two mothers hugged in joy. While their two daughters didn't look that pleased.

"Mom, mom, mom." Stephanie began calling her mother in hope of getting her attention. But Tiffany 

was too busy with hugging Jessica and jumping up and down like an excited kid.

"Yah! Mom!" Sooyeon finally called and earned both women's attention.

"What?" Jessica asked her daughter that had interrupted her joyous moment.

"Aren't you dating?" Tiffany asked and looked back and for th between the women. Stephanie sighed 

and looked at Sooyeon that motioned for her to tell their parents the truth. Stephanie sighed once again 

and looked around her at their families.

"We are, but, it's just a test. Because something happened between us,  and we figured out we could try 

dating each other, but both of us don't feel ready to date. That's why it's just a test to see how it's going. 

And I wanted to keep it a secret because I didn't want to get your hopes up and in the end get you 

disappointed when it doesn't work out." Stephanie explained for them.

The parents looked at each other, Jessica and Tiffany had calmed down from their excitement now 

when they knew how their children thought about it, and Yuri and Taeyeon gave each other an 

understanding look.

"But how long have you done this then?" Taeyeon asked and took a seat while she listened on her 

daughter's story. Sooyeon let out a sigh and looked at Stephanie.

"How long has it been? Two months?" Sooyeon asked and looked at Stephanie that nod ded her head.

"Yeah, about two months." Stephanie said and looked at Yuri that smiled at her.

"And how has it been going between you those two months?" Yuri asked. Stephanie looked at Sooyeon 

that smiled at her.

"Well, it was awkward in the beginning, but the more we did it the better it went. I guess we're used to 

be like this now, and think like this about each other." Stephanie said and furrowed her eyebrows.

"God, do I even make sense?" She asked and laughed embarrassed. The parents laughed to get 

Stephanie more comfortable again, and Sooyeon rubbed Stephanie's back in an comforting manner.

"Well, it's like that. We're used to be with each other like this now." Stephanie said and looked into 

Sooyeon's eyes. The latter smiling at her.

"We understand your insecurities about this. But we want you to know that we support you, no matter 

how this relationship goes. And if you need help, we'll be here for you, okay?" Tiffany said and went to 

her daughter and put her hands on her daughter's shoulders. Stephanie looked up at her mother, both 

smiling at each other.

"We just want you to be happy." Jessica said and smiled at her daughter.

The two families smiled at each other. Thinking they had investigated Stephanie and Sooyeon enough 

they ordered the two women to cut the cake. With the help of each other, Sooyeon and Stephanie cut 

pieces of the cake for all their family members, all of them laughed and chatted with each other as the 

evening went on.

Everyone knowing that most actions are acted upon a belief. And what that action is depends upon 

what the person believes.

---The brunette woman entered the large bedroom, a smile gracing her lips when she found her wife 

already in bed with a book in her hands and her glasses on. The brunette woman skipped towards the 

bed, removing the covers and blankets from her side of the bed before she crawled down and laid down 

next to the chestnut haired woman and wrapped one arm around the woman's waist.

The woman with the book looked down at her wife that just had joined her in bed. She caught her wife's 

smile, and with that she closed the book in her hands and removed her glasses and placed them on the 

bedside table before she crawled down under the duvet and cuddled closer towards her wife. A 

satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

"Our big baby is home." Jessica said after a while.

"I know. And she had grown up so much." Taeyeon said with a sigh. Jessica nodded her head in 

agreement.

"Remember the first time Sooyeon told us she was dating that guy?" Jessica asked and  glanced at 

Taeyeon.

"Yeah, I remember." Taeyeon said and nodded her head.

"It was then I realized Sooyeon had started to be independent and look for a suitable partner." Jessica 

said with a sigh. "I started to think back to the days when she used to ask  me if I could let her come with 

me to the company." Jessica said and frowned.

"You mean those days when she always followed you around?" Taeyeon asked with a smile.

"Yes! Like, when will I be able to experience that again? I'm sure she doesn't even want  to sit in the 

same car as me now, especially now when she has her own car and can drive." Jessica said and 

pouted. Taeyeon chuckled and kissed her wife's cheek.

"Don't say that. I'm sure she wants to be with you just as much as before. But she might not  follow you 

around." Taeyeon said. Jessica sighed and leaned her head against Taeyeon's shoulder.

"They grow up so fast." Jessica said with a sigh. Taeyeon nodded her head.

The two mothers laid in silence while they listened on the nights sounds. An owl was heard in the far 

distance outside of the house, while a barking dog was heard from a neighboring house. The couple 

remained still as the night went on.

"Stephanie's and Sooyeon's insecurities made me think back to how it was for us the first days we  were 

dating." Jessica finally broke the silence. Taeyeon turned her head and looked at Jessica. "I remember 

being scared of dating you, not being sure if it was right, scared of how my family would react and all 

that." Jessica said and studied Taeyeon's expression. A small smile appeared on Taeyeon's lips and 

she stroked her fingers through Jessica's hair.

She knew how it had been the very first time they had dated. Everything had to be made a secret. Most 

of the times they had went on dates they had brought either Tiffany or Krystal along, and sometimes 

both Tiffany and Yuri had needed to come along. But both of them knew how that relationship had 

ended for them.

"I suddenly miss the time when it was only you and me in Yuri's summer house, even though we  had 

ran away from home, it was very memorable." Jessica said and a small smile appeared on her lips. 

Taeyeon smiled too.

"It was nice." Taeyeon said.

"It was you and me against the world then." Jessica said with a bigger smile. Her statement earned her 

a chuckle from her wife.

"But who said it's still not like that?" Taeyeon asked and looked at her wife. With furrowed eyebrows 

Jessica looked at Taeyeon. "I mean, it still you and me against the world, we just have three beautiful 

girls to protect at the same time." Taeyeon said with a smile. Understanding what her wife meant 

Jessica chuckled and placed an arm around Taeyeon's waist.

"I guess it will always be you and me against the world." Jessica later mumbled.

"We can let Yuri and Fany join too." Taeyeon said with a smile. Jessica laughed and hugged Taeyeon 

tighter.

"No, even though Yuri and Fany have helped us out a lot, this will be our fight." Jessica said with a 

smile and nuzzled closer to Taeyeon. Taeyeon smiled and wrapped her arms around Jessic a.

“It’s you and me then.” Taeyeon said.

“Taeyeon I love you.” Jessica said and placed a tender kiss on Taeyeon’s lips. Taeyeon responded to 

the kiss and flashed a smile at Jessica when it broke.

“I love you too.” Taeyeon chimed.

“Never let me go?”

“Never letting you go, even with my arms and legs cut off I’ll still hold on.”

Jessica smiled and placed her head on Taeyeon’s chest. Hearing the heartbeat beat in the rhythmic 

pace she had gotten used to hear. A warm feeling filled her chest and traveled to the rest of her body.

Her life felt complete.
