Come in.
Tiffany opened the door and saw the CEO sitting behind the
huge table. It is always stressful to enter this particular room of
the agency no matter how many times she has been in here.
You were looking for me, Mr. Park?
Ah yes, Fany. Sit down.
Tiffany took the seat across the CEO.
How have you been?
Good. A little tired from the schedules but its the good kind of
tiresome.
Thats good. How do you find the agency after being here for
almost five years?
Awesome, of course.
You can speak in all honesty, Fany. CEO Park laughed.
Im not lying, its really awesome. Although my family is still
back in America, its like I have a new family here in this homely
agency. Youre like a father to me, I have friends who Ive made
during trainee period, current trainees who are like my younger
brothers and sisters Tiffany smiled. Im not sucking up to
you, Mr. Park. Its pure honesty.
Im glad to hear that. Mr. Park sat up all of a sudden, making
Tiffany tensed. As you probably already know, your contract is
since I last had a nice, proper meal with my family. And what about
her? How long do I have to hide this? But my fans, the stage
She felt a pair of arms circling her waist while she stared into
space. She jumped a little.
What were you thinking about that you didnt even know I
came in? Is something wrong?
Nothing. Tiffany patted the hand that was on her abdomen.
The person let go and Tiffany turned around.
Hi. Tiffany placed her arms over the persons shoulder, resting
her hands behind the latters neck.
Hi, but are you sure nothings wrong? You were so deep in your
thoughts.
Dont worry, Taeyeon-ah. Everythings fine. Ill tell you in due
time.
Okay, if you say so. Taeyeon smiled. Your listening ear is
always here if you need her.
I know.
Tiffany rested her head on Taeyeons shoulder, muffling a sigh.
Long day? Taeyeon brought her closer, pulling her into a hug.
Tiffany nodded into her shoulder.
Had dinner yet?
Nope. Tiffany lifted her head while Taeyeon loosened her hold.
Tiffany ended the call and sighed. The phone call made her
missed her father even more. What do I do?
===
It was her debut anniversary and a special fanmeeting with her
fans was held to celebrate it.
Weve just heard Tiffanys biggest hit and wasnt it amazing?
The audience screamed and Tiffany smiled.
Well be moving on to the next corner now while we let Tiffany
drink and take a breath, The emcee said. Weve asked you guys
for your burning questions for Tiffany earlier and theyre in this
box right now. He tapped on the box that was in between him
and Tiffany. What kind of questions are there for the star right
next to me? Go ahead and pick one whenever youre ready,
Tiffany.
Im done catching my breath. Im ready. Tiffany laughed.
She picked out one of the pieces of paper from the box and gave
it to the emcee. The emcee looked at the paper and chuckled.
Wow, what a start to this Q&A.
What is it?
It says Will you marry me?
What a start indeed, Tiffany laughed. But Im sorry to the
person who asked this question.
Does that mean youre dating right now?
given her so many precious memories and also because she still
loves singing. Her passion is still burning. Every time she hears
her fans cheering for her while shes standing up there, the
feeling inside her is inexplicable. Of course, her family and
Taeyeon are able to make her happy too, but it was a different
feeling. A feeling that she doesnt know how to describe either.
She was on the bed, leaning against the headboard, while
scrolling her Twitter timeline and checking the mentions from her
fans when Taeyeon lied down next to her. Tiffany placed her
phone aside.
How was work?
The usual, Taeyeon sighed. Got a really difficult client to
handle but Ill survive.
I hope the client isnt pretty.
I dont care if shes pretty if shes this difficult.
But Im not liking the idea of you facing a pretty client. Tiffany
frowned.
Possessive huh, Miyoung? Taeyeon smirked. She gave Tiffany
a peck on her lips. Dont worry, the clients an ahjusshi.
Thank god.
Maybe I should find a pretty client. I like possessive Miyoung.
Dont you dare.
Feisty. Taeyeon laughed. Ill try to avoid them then.
Good.
worst. Im a jerk. I dont deserve anything that Taeyeon has done for me.
I dont deserve Taeyeon.
Sorry
Dont be. Circumstances, I know.
Tiffany felt another jab at her.
Lets just sleep. Im tired. Taeyeon lied down, facing away from
Tiffany. Goodnight.
That night, Tiffany felt alone despite having Taeyeon right next to
her. She knew she had to do something. She knew she has
inflicted enough pain on Taeyeon. She knew she had to stop
hurting the person she loves and cherishes the most, the one who
is always with her no matter how tough it is.
Ill make you happy, Taeyeon, I promise. And this time, I will keep it.
===
Tiffany opened the door excitedly, but only to be greeted by the
darkness in the living room.
Taeyeon?
She checked the kitchen, bathrooms and all the rooms in their
apartment but there was no sign of Taeyeon. She sighed and
walked back to their bedroom. She placed her bag and the paper
gift bag down. Where did you go, Taeyeon?
She checked her phone, hoping there will be a message but there
were none. She sent a message.
Two hours had passed and the loud scream from the television
jerked her awake. She switched the television off, muffling a
curse. She was surprised when she saw the time on her phone.
23:48. She also saw a reply from Taeyeon.
Im out with the gang. And its fine.
The short reply hurt her. But who am I to complain when I have hurt
her even more?
Are you coming back soon? I can go look for you.
Yuris sending me back later.
Oh, okay. She looked at the time. It was five minutes before the
end of the day. Happy anniversary, Taeyeon-ah.
Happy anniversary.
Another jab.
Come back soon? Ill wait for you.
Im not sure when Im going back so go to bed if youre tired. Ill
just see you tomorrow.
Third jab.
Okay. I love you.
Love you too.
Tiffany kicked the air in frustration. After the event she had to go
for, her manager told her that the producer of her next album
needed to talk to her before he had to catch his flight and that he
wouldnt be back for another two weeks, which will affect her
comeback plan greatly. She had no choice but to go. She rushed
back the moment she could, wanting to spend the rest of the
night with Taeyeon celebrating their anniversary together, and
not alone like this.
So much for an anniversary.
She looked at the clock again. 23:59.
Happy anniversary, Taeyeon-ah, She whispered to herself,
closing her eyes to prevent her tears from falling.
Another hour passed when she heard the commotion outside the
door. She ran out of the room, knowing it was Taeyeon who
finally came back home. To her.
Taeyeon threw herself at the couch, suppressing the urge to puke.
Tiffany could smell the alcohol even from afar. She checked on
Taeyeon quickly and saw her in her drunk state.
Taeyeon? Why did you drink so much?
Go away. Taeyeon pushed Tiffany. Go for your event, go see
your producer. You dont have to care about me.
Tiffany felt the tears in her eyes again, but she forbade herself to
cry. Taeyeon needed her care.
Im sorry, Tiffany muttered. I really am.
Stop saying that. You promised!
I know. Im sorry I broke the promise. But I pro-
She set aside her phone and went to wash up in the bathroom.
She went to the kitchen after hearing the grumbling sound
coming from stomach. A hangover drink and aspirins were on
the counter along with a note.
Take them if your head hurts.
Taeyeon sighed. After all the hurtful things Ive said to you
After gulping the drink down and breakfast, she went back into
the room. She realized the paper bag sitting on the table.
Curiosity got the better of her. She peeked inside the paper bag
and saw a box along with a card. She took the box out and
opened it, revealing a beautiful heart pendant sitting in the
middle of it. She placed the necklace down and took out the card.
Happy 3rd anniversary, Taeyeon-ah. I know Ive disappointed you
countless times in the past three years and Im really thankful that you
stuck around for so long despite it. Thank you and I love you. Ill make
you happy from now on. Ill let it go now.
Let what go, Fany-ah? Please dont do this
===
Knock knock.
Come in.
Tiffany entered the room.
Good morning, Mr. Park.
Good morning too, Fany. Sit down.
===
A few months had passed since she made her decision. Her
album was finally getting released and she devoted all her time
into the preparations for her showcase.
It was finally the day of her showcase.
Fans started filling the huge space below the stage, screaming
every now and then in excitement. Tiffany suppressed a smile
when she heard them from backstage.
Anxious?
Always.
Dont be, youre a pro by now.
Thanks for the compliment, oppa, but I cant help it. I still get all
jittery before every stage.
Tiffanys producer laughed.
I can understand that. Youll do well, Fany. He patted her
shoulder.
Thank you.
She let her stylist checked her one last time before taking the
microphone from one of the backstage staffs. She checked her inear monitor again and did the usual breathing exercises she
always does to calm her nerves. She exhaled one last time and
went on stage.
Hi everyone!
Now then, Tiffany stood up while she said. Thank you for all
your hard work. I love you all. She gave a huge bow to the
audience.
Tiffany straightened up and waved her fans goodbye for the last
time from the stage.
Youve worked hard! Tiffany greeted every one of the staffs as
she passed by them to return to her waiting room.
She entered the room and got a shock from seeing the person
standing in front of her.
Taeyeon smiled and opened her arms wide. Come here.
Tiffany pounced on Taeyeon, hugging her tightly.
I wanna be in your arms forever, until always huh? Taeyeon
repeated the lyrics from Tiffanys song.
You heard it?
Taeyeon nodded her head. Watched the start till the end here.
Was that you me?
Who else?
Taeyeon grinned and Tiffany attacked her lips.
Hey, were in public. Taeyeon gave her a last peck and let go.
Dont want your manager to walk in and get his mind
corrupted.
I dont care. Tiffany refused to let go of Taeyeon.
We have all the time in the world to do this at home later with a
bed thats ten times more comfortable.
Byuntae.
Says the person who literally pounced on me like a hyena the
moment she entered the room.
I missed you.
We just saw each other yesterday, Fany-ah.
I still missed you.
I missed you too. Taeyeon held Tiffanys hand tight. So this is
it huh?
Tiffany sighed. They sat down on the couch side by side.
Sad?
Would be lying if I said no.
You didnt have to do this, you know. Taeyeon tugged Tiffanys
hand lightly.
I wanted to. Tiffany smiled. Ive been neglecting you way too
much. Besides, its time I start spending time with my family. I
cant even remember when was the last time we had a proper
meal together.
But you love singing. The stage is where you belong.
I had that for the past five years, Im contented. I want to start
the next chapter of my life now, Tiffany turned to Taeyeon.
With you.
I cant wait for that. Taeyeon smiled. Come to think of it, I was
really scared when I read your card.
The card I wrote to you on our anniversary?
Yeah. It scared the hell out of me because you said you were
going to let it go. I thought you meant our relationship.
Tiffany chuckled. Ill never let you go. Not after Im given a
second chance. She held Taeyeons hand.
Im never letting you go too. Taeyeon tightened the hold.
They started packing up when Tiffanys manager came in. They
left through the back door to Tiffanys car. Taeyeon entered the
car first while Tiffany waved to her fans who had been waiting
for her to appear for the last time.
Ill miss you guys. Thank you again. Tiffany bowed to the fans.
Take care of yourselves and stay healthy, okay? Goodbye.
The car started moving, getting further away from the fans.
Hearing Tiffanys sigh, Taeyeon went closer to her and held her
hand. Tiffany squeezed the hand as an acknowledgement, also a
sign to Taeyeon that she was okay.
I was happy, I am happy, and I will be happy.
She looked at Taeyeon and smiled, with the latter giving a
comforting smile back.
With you.
