Part One: Lie About Us

I need to go.

Now? Why? Cant you stay a bit longer?

You know I cant.

Why dont you just leave her? You told me you love me and not her, so why not just
leave her?

She sighed. I cant hurt her. Weve been together for so long and I dont know. I just
cant hurt her, at least not right now.

What are we doing exactly? Who am I to you? She could hear the anger in the other
girls voice.

You are my girlfriend and I love you.

A scoff. Yeah right. You love me but you cant hurt her nor can you leave her. So much
for loving me.

I didnt say I cant leave her. I will just not right now. Please wait a little longer? I
promise you I will leave her. I just need more time. Please?

The other girl stared at her for a few seconds before sighing. Fine. Nothing I can do
about it anyway.

-

Hey, youre home. She walked up to the girl who just arrived and gave her a chaste
kiss.

Yeah

Tired?

A bit. I think Im just going to bed. Im not that hungry anyway.

Oh okay then. Goodnight.

Night. She watched her walk to the bedroom, leaving her alone.

I guess I can just invite the guys over tomorrow and eat all these. She sighed before
starting to clean up the food on the table.

-

Boo!

Aahh! She fumbled her phone for a bit before finally being able to hold it properly.

The perpetrator laughs but stopped when she eyed the phone in her girlfriends grasp.

Who are you talking to?

She pretended not to hear just to think of an excuse. Huh? What?

I asked who you are talking to? The girl pointed to the device she was holding.

Oh! I was um talking to a friend. Yeah. She was just asking me about some few
things for work.

Oh, is that so? Well, then Ill leave you be. With that, the other girl left.

Once she was sure that the other girl was out of hearing range, she brought her phone
back against her ear and spoke. Hey, still there?

Yeah.

Sorry.

You keep saying that, but youre not really doing anything.

I promise you, Im just thinking of a plan. Just please wait a bit longer?

Whatever. But just so you know, it hurts me every time you lie about our relationship.
Even if she doesnt know who I am.

I know. It hurts me too. She sighed.

Yeah right.

It does! She was careful not to say it too loud. Just please trust me on this? I love you
and I will think of something.

Okay. Be thankful that I love you too or else youd be dead meat by now.

She smiled at that. Thanks.

-

Hey, you think we can go out tonight?

Um welll Im kind of tired from work right now. Do we really have to go out
tonight? Cant we do it some other time?

Oh thats fine. We can do it when youre not that tired.

Thanks. She hesitated then kissed the other girl.

No problem. You should rest now.

Will do. Thanks again. She walked to the bedroom and closed the door, leaning against
it with her eyes closed.

She sighed. I cant keep doing this to her.

-

So when are you leaving her?

She sighed and placed her cup back on the table before answering. Honestly? I dont
know. I want to officially be with Jessica but

But you cant hurt Taeyeon. Yeah, yeah. You keep telling me that. But cant you see?
Youre hurting her right now! With the way you keep brushing her off? Her heart must
be made of steel if shes still not hurt with what youre doing.

I know that. Its just what am I supposed to tell her anyway? That I dont love her
anymore because I love someone and that Ive been secretly seeing that someone for
some time now? That Ive actually been cheating on her?

Well, yes. That would be a great start, actually.

She sighed again. You know I cant do that. Weve been

She was cut off yet again. Been together for so long that you dont think you can tell her
the truth because shes been nothing but faithful to you. Yes, I know!

What am I supposed to do? She groaned and buried her face onto her palms.

Gosh, tiffany. I swear, if you werent my friend, I wouldve probably killed you right
now.

How exactly are you going to do that? Pour hot coffee on my pretty face? She scoffed.

That wont kill you, sadly, but youd be ugly and I think it would be much easier
Taeyeon to let Jessica have you by then.

She scowled at her friend. Ha ha. Very funny, Sunny.

Well at least that can solve your problem. Although Im not sure if Jessica would want
you either.

She stared at the other girl in disbelief. Wow, I call you here to give me some advice,
but youre just crushing my spirit.

Psh! Nonsense. I was merely attempting to lighten up your mood, it just kind of
backfired since it lightened mine instead.

Tiffany didnt say anything.

Sunny sighed. Tiffany, just be honest with her. Im pretty sure it would hurt her less
when you tell her the truth. Think of it this way: the sooner you tell Taeyeon, the faster
youll be with Jessica.

Tiffany took a deep breath. Fine. Ill think about it.

Not the answer I was expecting but good enough.

-

So what do you want to do now?

I dont know. Im starting to get a little tired.

Do you want me to bring you home then?

If I say yes, will you stay with me for a while?

Of course.

Then lets go!

She laughed at Jessicas sudden burst of energy as they made their way to the car park.

-

The two girl were cuddling on the couch watching their favorite movie when Jessica
propped herself up from Tiffanys arms and just stared at her.

Why are you looking at me like that? Tiffany asked without taking her eyes off the TV.

Nothing. Cant I stare at my girlfriend whenever I want.

Tiffany turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow. You can, but why would you want
to?

Jessica shrugged. Just because.

Hmm alright then.

Tiffany went back to watching the movie while Jessica continued to stare at her. After a
few minutes, Tiffany grew conscious of the pair of eyes seemingly trying to trace every
detail of her face.

Okay, seriously, I think Im going to melt any time soon if you if you keep staring at me
like that.

Jessica laughed. Why? I just wanted to stare at you because youll be leaving me again
in a few hours. By this time, Jessicas laughter was replace by a trembling voice.

Tiffany turned her head and saw Jessica on the verge of crying.

Hey, she moved to hug the crying girl, why are you crying? You know Im going to be
back tomorrow, right? Ill only be leaving for a few hours.

Jessica sniffed and returned the hug. Yes, I know. But I cant help but feel sad that even
though you love me, you still go home to her.

Im sorry. Its my fault. Dont cry please? She wiped Jessicas tears with her thumb.
Will it help if I stay with you until you fall asleep?

A bit. Tiffany nodded her head and continued to hug the girl until she heard soft,
steady breathing. She lifted the girl and up and brought her to the bedroom.

Once there, she gently placed the girl on the bed and moved to lie down beside the girl.
She placed the blanket over their bodies before hugging Jessica. They stayed that way
until Tiffany herself drifted off to sleep.

-

Tiffany woke up to the blaring sound of her alarm clock.

Ugh, its so early. She glanced at the clock on the bedside table. 8AM. Wait, why is the
clock different? And Taeyeon doesnt usually set the alarm to 8AM. She looked around
the room for a bit before her eyes landed on the space beside her where a brunette can
be seen clinging onto her like her life depended on it.

Jessica?!

She finally realized where she was and slowly got out of Jessicas hold. She frantically
searched for her phone and immediately checked for messages.

42 missed calls. 30 messages.

All from Taeyeon.

Omo.

She quickly wrote a note for Jessica, saying that she will be back tonight, and left the
apartment right away.

She drove home as fast as she could while thinking of an excuse to tell Taeyeon.

Once she arrived, she saw Taeyeon sleeping peacefully on the couch while clutching her
phone, probably still waiting for Tiffany to respond to her calls and messages.

Tiffany slowly walked to the couch and sat down on the floor, right in front of it.
Noticing that Taeyeon forgot to remove her glasses, she tried to take them off slowly so
she wouldnt wake the girl.

But she failed.

Taeyeon stirred and soon opened her eyes to see Tiffany smiling sheepishly at her.

Hey, sorry. I just wanted to take your glasses off. I tried to take it off slowly but

Before she could finish her sentence, Taeyeon tackled her with a hug. She heard sobbing
and pulled away to see Taeyeons cheeks wet from her tears. Where were you? I tried
calling you but you werent replying. I thought something bad happened to you.
Taeyeon hugged her tightly.

Im sorry. I was out with a friend last night and um she got drunk so I had to bring
her home and it was late so uh I was tired and fell asleep on her couch. Lies.

You couldve called me.

I know. I forgot, Im sorry. Please stop crying? Im here now and Im fine. Im sorry.

It took Taeyeon a few more minutes to stop crying. When she did, she looked at Tiffany.
You went out with a friend? I tried calling your friends last night and they all told me
that they havent seen you all day.

D*mn. Well, shes a new friend. Yeah. Someone I met at work the other day. I was just
trying to be friendly, you know, since the other workers didnt seem to care when she
walked n the office on her first day.

New friend? I didnt know about that. Despite her thought, Taeyeon decided to just let it
go. Ah, well, thats nice of you.

Yeah.

So, what do you want to do today?

Tiffany scratched her head and smiled sheepishly. I was planning on staying home,
actually. You know, I went out last night and Im still kind of tired. When she saw
Taeyeons face fall, she quickly added, But its still early, so maybe when I wake up, we
can go out?


Taeyeon knew that Tiffany only said that because of how she reacted, but decided to
just go with it. She forced a smile. Sure.

Tiffany smiled in relief.

-

I dont know what to do anymore.

Why? Whats up?

She keeps on brushing me off! If shes not tired from work, shes tired from going out
with her friends! Her friends, Yuri-ah! She goes out with her friends every night but she
cant even go out with me for one day!

Dude, chill.

How am I supposed to chill? What will you do if Yoona suddenly ignores you for some
friend?

Ill be upset, obviously. But calm down. Its probably nothing.

Taeyeon sighed but didnt answer. She looked out the window of the coffee shop, letting
her eyes wander for a bit but stopped when she spotted a familiar figure walking down
the street hand-in-hand with another girl.

Yul, look! Its Tiffany!

What? Where?

There! Taeyeon pointed to the girl on the side of the street.

Oh yeah! Thats her! But whos the other girl?

Taeyeon shrugged. One of her friends, maybe?

Maybe. Want to go and say hi?

Sure, it wouldnt hurt.

The two walked out of the coffee shop and crossed the street.

Babe! Tiffany was too engrossed with her conversation that she didnt hear Taeyeon.

Babe! Tiff! Taeyeon called, louder this time.

Tiffany turned her head and was shocked to see Taeyeon there. She immediately lets go
of Jessicas hand and glanced at the girl briefly, seeing her equally shocked expression,
before focusing back on the girl jogging towards them.

Jessica was shocked but she was also glad to see Taeyeon there. She didnt want Tiffany
to get into any kind of trouble but she thought that this would be a good opportunity to
finally let Taeyeon know about their relationship.

Tiffany, hey! What are you doing here? Are you on your break?

Tiffany hesitated. Y-yeah. Im on my break. By the way, this is my friend. The one I told
you about the other day, Jessica. Jessica, this is my girlfriend, Taeyeon and her friend
Yuri, she gestured to the smiling girl behind Taeyeon.

Jessica felt her heart break into a million pieces but decided to put up a front for
Tiffanys sake. Hi. Jessica. Its nice to finally meet you, Taeyeon. Tiffany tells me so
much about you. She forced out a smile. Its nice to meet you too, Yuri. For Tiffany.

Oh, does she? Taeyeon chuckled. Well, its nice to meet you too. Im glad that I got to
meet another one of Tiffanys friends.

Ah Jessica forced a laugh. Taeyeon didnt notice the hurt in Jessicas eyes.

But someone else did.

Oh! Taeyeon, we have to go now. Our breaks going to end in a few, Yuri said and
pointed to her watch.

Oh, youre right! Well, babe, Ill just see you back at home, okay? Love you! She pecked
Tiffanys lips before turning to Jessica, who was trying so hard not to break down in
front of the three. Again, its nice to meet you Jessica. I hope we can hang out some
time.

O-of course.

Taeyeon flashed her a smile before leaving with Yuri.

A few minutes were spent in silence before Tiffany decided to break it.

Im sorry.

Silence.

Jessica.

Nothing.

Please say something.

Its hurts that you have to lie about us.

Tiffany sighed. Im really sorry. It hurts me too.

Then please, Jessica begged, please tell her soon. I dont think I can stand it anymore.

I will. Im sorry.

Stop saying sorry.

Okay. Well, what do you want to do now?

I dont feel like doing anything anymore. Just bring me home.

Jess

Please.

Okay.

-

Tiffany came home to an empty apartment. She found it weird that she came home
before Taeyeon because it was usually the other way around. She didnt want to think
much of it and just assumed that Taeyeon was out somewhere with Yuri.

She showered for half an hour then she decided to watch TV in the living room. She was
watching one of her favorite movies when her phone suddenly went off, signaling an
incoming call. She picked it up without looking at the ID.

Hello?

Honey.

She looked at the caller ID before placing it back against her ear. Jess? Whats up?

I just miss you. She unconsciously smiled.

I miss you too.

What are you doing now?

Just watching TV.

Oh Jessica hesitated but went on with it anyway. Honey, Im sorry for how I acted
earlier. I didnt mean to ruin our date. Its just that I was really hurt when you told
Taeyeon that I was just your friend and when you introduced her to me as your
girlfriend.

I should be the one saying sorry. I promise Ill think of something to break it off with
Tae. You know youre the one I love right? Just wait a little longer and Im all yours.

She could practically hear Jessica smiling. I will.

She smiled too. So, arent you going to sleep yet? She glanced at the wall clock. 10PM.

Hm can you sing me to sleep?

Tiffany chuckled. You know Id do anything for you. What song do you want me to sing
then?

Any song.

Okay then. Here goes


Oh, oyy
Yeah, yeah

Baby, I know when we started out
There were things you didnt know

The last note ended and although she knows that Jessica has fallen asleep, she still
whispered softly. Baby, I cant wait until I can tell the world about us. Just please wait a
little bit longer.

She ended the call and sighed.

Songs Part Two: Let Me Be The One

So what exactly do you want me to do?

I dont know. Confront her, maybe? Its not that hard you know.

I know.

But?

But my emotions might get the best of me. I might say things Im going to regret later
on.

Then how do you plan on talking to her?

I dont know. I was hoping you could think of something. Any other plans?

Beats me.

Wow, thanks.

Ill come up with something. For now, lets finish eating lunch and head back to the
office.

Okay.

-

Do you want to go out tomorrow night? We havent gone out for weeks. I kinda miss
having a date with my girlfriend, you know, she said as she stared at the TV, not really
watching the movie playing.

Um

You have other plans?

Okay then. She stood up. Ill go to bed now. Ive seen this movie about ten times
anyway. The girl dies in the end. She retreated to the bedroom.

Thanks so much for spoiling the ending for me, Tiffany mumbled. She continued
watching for another ten minutes before finally deciding to stop.

She spent another minute thinking of what else to do until she pulled out her phone
from her pocket and dialed a number.

Hello?

Honey, did I wake you up?


Yes, but thats okay. Whats up? Why arent you sleeping yet?

Well, Taeyeon and I were watching a movie but she decided to bail out on me and just
sleep. She even spoiled the ending for me so now I dont want to watch it anymore.

Wow, a movie date huh? Thats nice, Jessica said sarcastically.

Oh come on, Honey, well see each other tomorrow anyway.

Alright. So what do you want to talk about?

They continued talking until the wee hours of the morning.

-

So have you thought about how youre going to do it?

Nope.

Wow, you dont seem to be bothered by it that much anymore.

I am, its just that Im used to it by now. Being brushed off like that. She shrugged.

Okay, lets not talk about that now. What are you planning for your birthday?

Hm, you mean besides being ignored and left behind by my girlfriend of six years?
Nothing.

Oh come on, I dont think shes that heartless. Im pretty sure shell still remember your
birthday. Yuri paused. Oh! Maybe she keeps blowing you off because shes planning
something for your birthday! Uh-huh! Nice one, Kwon Yuri!

I highly doubt that.

Dont be such a pessimist, Taeyeon-ah.

Im not. Im just keeping it real.

Youre not. Youre being a pessimist. Come on, why dont we plan something for your
birthday then?

Its a month from now. Dont you think its a bit too early to plan anything?

Its not. Its never too early to plan for a party! Come on! What do you want? We can
hire a clown, if thats what you want.

I was not deprived of my childhood, Yul. Ive seen a clown before and trust me, even
when I was two years old, I hardly found them a tad bit funny.


Okay fine, so maybe Im the one who wants the clown. But come on, Taeyeon-ah! Lets
plan this birthday of yours.

Lets plan a week before it.

You really like bringing down the mood, dont you?

Yes.

Why are you my best friend again?

Taeyeon rolled her eyes. Im your only friend.

Yuri scratched her head. Ah yeah, dont remind me.

You asked, remember?

It was a rhetorical question, Taeyeon-ah.

Doesnt mean I cant answer it.

Whatever.

-

Wanna go out with me tonight?

Tiffany looked up from her phone. Tonight?

Yeah, tonight.

Well, you see, she racked her brain for a way to tell Taeyeon that she cant. Um

Other plans?

Yes, sor

Its fine. Im going over to Yuris. She took her keys from the counter and headed out.

-

Hey.

Hey. She smiled.

Do you have anything on Friday?

Hm not that I know of. Why?


Wanna go out?

Um

Taeyeon silently sighed. If thats the case then Ill just go out with Yuri and Yoona. Is
that okay?

Well, yeah. I guess.

Okay. Thanks. Taeyeon walked to their room and close the door.

-

Taeyeon, where is she right now?

Hm? Oh, I dont know. Probably hanging out with her friends or something, she
answered nonchalantly.

Why arent you bothered that your girlfriend isnt here for your birthday?

She shrugged. Whats new? Todays just another day that shes not with me anyway.

What do you mean?

She looked at the two people in front of her. When exactly was the last time youve
seen her with me? Outside our apartment?

The younger girl thinks for a few seconds before responding. I think it was your
birthday last year. After that, weve never really been able to hang out with the two of
you anymore. It was always just you.

She leaned back on her chair. I rest my case.

But this isnt just another day, Taeyeon-ah. Its your birthday.

Tell her that.

Did she even greet you? Yuri asked.

No. I woke up to an empty bed this morning. Not that it was surprising or anything.

Whats up with her? Shes not like that, Yoona said.

Well, thats her now.

Yoona and Yuri both sighed before deciding on completely changing the topic. After a
few more hours of talking, they decided to head home.

Guys, I think we should go home. Its a bit late now anyway. Thanks for being with me
on my birthday, guys. It really means a lot to me that I get to spend it with the two of
you.

You shouldve spent it with your girlfriend, Yoona muttered.

Taeyeon sighed and weakly smiled. That was the idea, but where exactly is she now?

The other two stayed quiet.

Right. Well, bye guys!

She hugged both of them and went to the car park.

-

Where were you?

Oh, youre here? She was genuinely surprised. Thats new. She shrugged. I was out
with Yuri and Yoona. I thought I told you that. I guess you forgot.

Ah, Tiffany nodded. I guess I did.

Do you still need to say something? Please dont tell me you forgot about my birthday.

Tiffany was confused. Huh? No, I dont.

She sighed. Right. Ill sleep now then. Dont forget to turn off the lights before you turn
in. Goodnight.

-

Im going out.

Taeyeon nodded.

Are you okay?

Yes, of course. Why?

You dont seem to be yourself lately.

Wow, Taeyeon chuckled, you noticed that much?

Whats that supposed to mean? Tiffany frowned.

Taeyeon shook her head. Nothing.

Okay, well, I better go. Bye.


Taeyeon sunk back into her seat and sighed. Why cant you just tell me?

-

She woke up to the sound of her phones ringing tone.

Hello? Her voice was still laced with sleep. She cleared her throat.

Taeyeon-ah! Happy anniversary!

Yoong?

Well, who else?

Stop shouting. You woke me up, so my minds still not working.

Oh! Sorry. Well, happy anniversary! What are you planning on doing today with
Tiffany?

Upon hearing the name, she looked to the other side of the bed and was not surprised to
see it empty. Well be playing hide and seek.

Youre really weird, you know that? Anyway, Yul said you should meet her at the coffee
shop at about ten. She said she has a plan. I dont know what she meant by that but I
decided not to ask her anyway. You know how her mind works.

Yup, I do. You do too, so I dont know why you still agreed to be with her.

Well, love makes us do crazy things sometimes.

Taeyeon glanced at the empty side of the bed and shook her head. Yeah. I guess. Well, I
gotta go and prepare to meet your girlfriend now. Thanks again and bye.

No problem. Bye!

-

Yul, your human vacuum of a girlfriend told me to come and meet you here. Whats
up?

I know how to tell Tiffany, Yuri said in a serious tone.

Oh? How?

All you need to do is to memorize this, she handed her a piece of paper, and bring
Tiffany to Sooyoungs bar later tonight. Leave the rest to me.

She raised an eyebrow. What is this?


Lyrics? Come on, Taeyeon-ah. I consider you a genius so please dont let me down.

What the you know what I mean! What does this have to do with Tiffany.

Just read it and memorize. Oh and do anything and everything to make sure shes there
tonight.

Okay.

-

Hey.

Hey, Tiffany said without looking up from her laptop.

Um, youre probably doing something tonight but um, can you do me a favor and come
with me?

What for? Did we plan anything for tonight?

Taeyeon held back a scoff. No.

Oh, um

She saw Tiffany hesitating. I promise I wont bother you about it again after night. Just
please come with me?

She would have to cancel on Jessica tonight but she agreed. Okay then.

-

Thanks for coming with me tonight.

Its nothing, Taeyeon-ah. She smiled.

Sooyoung came up the stage and spoke into the microphone. Good evening everyone!
Welcome! Welcome! As you may all know, I dont usually come here to speak, but since
it was a special request from a friend, I cannot turn it down. So, tonight is a special night
for two of our guests. She glanced at Taeyeon and Tiffanys table. Taeyeon doesnt react
but Tiffany seemed confused. To tell you the truth, theyre actually celebrating their 7th
anniversary today! Lets give them a round of applause!

While everyone was clapping, Taeyeon flashed a small smile while Tiffany turned her
head to look at Taeyeon with her eyes as wide as tennis balls. Our anniversary! Today!
Her birthday was two weeks ago! I forgot!

Taeyeon felt Tiffanys eyes on her but she didnt look back. Instead, she took a sip of her
drink and stands up before heading to the stage.


Let me introduce to you this friend of mine. Taeyeon!

Taeyeon will be singing something for us tonight. Please show her some support!
Thank you!

Tiffany stared wide-eyed at Taeyeon who was now standing in the middle of the huge
stage with a microphone on her hand.

-

H-hi guys. So embarrassing.

Go Taeyeon! She heard one of the audience members say.

She laughed awkwardly. T-thanks.

She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. So, um, Im here tonight because like
what Sooyoung said, Im celebrating my 7th anniversary with my girlfriend. She tried to
smile as she looked for Tiffanys face.

She swallowed. I just want to dedicate this song to her. Im I T-thanks for the best
seven years of my life. I dont know what will happen after this but She trailed off, not
knowing how to continue. She gave the DJ the signal to start the music.

Soon, music filled the bar and Taeyeon started singing.

Somebody told me you were leaving
I didn't know
Somebody told me you're unhappy
But it doesn't show
Somebody told me that you don't want me no more
So your walkin out the door
Nobody told me you've been crying
Every night
Nobody told me you were dying
But didn't want to fight
Nobody told me that you fell out of love for me
So Im setting you free

Tae, Im telling you, I saw the hurt in her eyes. I dont know what to make of it, but
its surely not nothing.

I get what your saying Yuri, but I cant just straight up tell her that shes cheating
on me. What if shes not? What if that Jessica girl just likes her?

I dont know Tae. I just dont feel so good about this.

Let me be the one to break it up

So you won't have to make excuses
We don't need to find a set up where
Someone wins and someone loses
We just have to say our love was true
But has now become a lie
So Im tellin you I love you one last time and goodbye

Somebody told me you still love me
I don't know why
Nobody told me that you only needed time to fly
Somebody told me that you want to come back
When our love is real again

After a night out with Yuri and Yoona, Taeyeon stumbles into her apartment but
trying her best to do so quietly so as to not wake up her girlfriend, who she was so
sure was already sleeping.

Or so she thought...

Jess? Whats up? She heard her girlfriend say.

I miss you too. What? Jessica?

Just watching TV.

I should be the one saying sorry. I promise Ill think of something to break it off
with Tae. You know youre the one I love right? Just wait a little longer and Im all
yours.

She felt her heart break. She wouldve never expected Tiffany to cheat on her. She
wanted to go up to the other girl and talk to her, but her feet were glued to the floor,
so she had no choice but to listen to their conversation.

So arent you going to sleep yet?

You know Ill do anything for you. What song do you want me to sing then?

With every note Tiffany sang, she felt like her heart was being stepped on
repeatedly.

Let me be the one to break it up
So you won't have to make excuses
We don't need to find a set up where
Someone wins and someone loses
We just have to say our love was true
But has now become a lie
So Im tellin you I love you one last time and goodbye

She tries to push back the tears that were threatening to fall when she remembered
Jessica and Tiffanys conversation that night.

Just turn around and walk away
We don't have to live like this no, no
But if you love me still then stay
Don't keep me waiting for that final kiss
We could work together through this test
Or we could work through it apart
I just need to get this of my chest
That you will always have my heart
Let me be the one

While reading the song lyrics Yuri gave her, she received a message from the girl

-Tae, you know the plan right? Yoona and I will be right by the door so just come to
us after-

-Okay, thanks-

With that, she packed all of her stuff. Luckily, Tiffany was still out at that time.

Let me be the one to break it up
So you won't have to make excuses
We don't need to find a set up where
Someone wins and someone loses
We just have to say our love was true
But has now become a lie
So Im tellin you I love you one last time....

She finished the song and glanced at Tiffany one last time. The girl was frozen on her
seat and tears were streaming down her cheeks. Taeyeon goes down the stage to get her
things and headed to where Yuri and Yoona were. They left.

and goodbye.
