Miyoung-ah,
wake
up!
Youre
going
to
have
your
first
driving
lesson
today!
Driving
wha-mmphh
she
groaned
sleepily
as
she
slammed
her
face
back
against
her
fluffy
pillow.
Miyoung.
The
voice
was
stern.
She
huffed
before
sitting
up,
squinting
due
to
the
brightness
of
the
suns
rays
peeping
through
the
window.
Dad,
why
do
I
have
to
learn
how
to
drive?
she
whined.
We
have
a
driver!
Isnt
that
what
hes
here
for?
To
drive
us
around
so
we
wont
have
to
do
it
ourselves?
Her
dad
shook
his
head.
You
need
to
know
how
to
drive,
Miyoung-ah.
What
if
theres
an
emergency
and
Mr.
Park
is
not
here
to
drive
for
you?
You
drive.
What
if
Im
not
here
then?
Then
she
trailed
off,
not
knowing
how
to
continue.
My
point
exactly.
Now
get
ready.
Ill
take
you
there
in
about
an
hour.
Ugh.
The
instructor
better
not
be
some
old
perverted
bald
dude,
she
groaned
frustratingly
before
finally
shuffling
out
of
bed
and
walking
to
the
bathroom.
Her
dad
chuckled
before
leaving
the
room.
-
Oh
gosh,
Dad.
Do
you
really
want
me
to
learn
driving
from
them?
she
pointed
to
a
bunch
of
slightly
old
men
sitting
at
the
other
side
of
the
room.
She
looked
at
them
then
back
at
her
dad.
Please
tell
me
theyre
not
the
instructors
here.
Please,
Dad.
The
man
chuckled
something
he
seemed
to
be
doing
a
lot
today
and
she
was
starting
to
get
irritated
with
it.
Unfortunately,
they
are,
Miyoung.
Theyre
some
of
the
best
driving
instructors
around
so
I
know
youll
learn
fast,
he
said
and
ushered
her
daughter
to
an
office
room.
At
least
theyre
not
old
bald
dudes,
right?
he
said
teasingly.
They
can
still
be
perverted
though,
she
muttered
while
taking
a
seat
beside
him.
He
chuckled
yet
again.
I
dont
think
they
are.
Relax.
She
was
about
to
retaliate
when
a
man
entered
the
room
and
settled
on
the
chair
behind
the
table
in
front
of
them.
Good
morning,
Mr.
Hwang
and
he
read
the
file
he
was
holding
before
looking
at
her
with
a
small
smile.
Miyoung,
right?
She
nodded
but
quickly
said,
Yes,
Miyoung,
but
Id
prefer
it
if
my
instructor
calls
me
Ms.
Hwang,
whoever
he
is.
She
didnt
want
some
old
guy
being
all
buddy-buddy
with
her.
She
didnt
want
them
to
call
her
Miyoung,
or
worse,
Tiffany.
The
man
smiled
and
nodded.
As
you
wish.
Now,
Ms.
Hwang,
please
read
through
this
and
sign
at
the
bottom
if
there
are
no
problems.
Please
kindly
wait
here
as
I
talk
to
your
instructor
and
prepare
the
car.
He
handed
her
a
folder
before
standing
up.
Mr.
Hwang
nodded.
Thank
you,
Mr.
Kim.
Mr.
Kim
flashed
him
a
smile
and
walked
out
of
the
room.
-
She
sighed
as
she
slumped
back
on
her
seat,
waiting
for
Mr.
Kim
to
come
back.
Stop
sighing
as
if
youre
carrying
all
the
worlds
problems.
Its
just
driving
lessons.
Learn
how
to
drive
and
youll
get
out
of
here
sooner.
She
sighed
again.
But
Dad,
fifteen
days?
Really?
Fifteen
days
with
an
old
guy,
in
a
car
thatll
probably
smell
of
his
sweats?
No
way.
You
dont
have
to
finish
the
whole
fifteen
days.
You
clearly
didnt
read
the
whole
thing,
he
nodded
towards
the
bunch
of
papers
she
just
finished
signing
and
sighed.
It
says
that
if
your
instructor
finds
that
your
driving
is
good
enough
even
before
the
fifteen
days
are
over,
then
you
can
stop
having
lessons.
Her
face
lit
up.
Really!?
Okay
then!
Ill
learn
fast!
Anything
to
get
away
from
some
old
dude.
Mr.
Hwang
only
laughed
at
her.
Just
then,
the
door
of
the
small
office
swung
open,
revealing
Mr.
Kim,
still
with
a
kind
smile
on
his
face.
The
cars
ready.
Please
follow
me.
Both
did
as
they
were
asked
and
walked
behind
the
man.
He
led
them
outside
the
building
and
into
the
parking
lot
located
beside
it.
They
stopped
in
front
of
a
Silver
Honda
Civic.
Mr.
Kim
took
out
the
key
and
clicked
a
button
on
the
remote
attached
to
it,
making
the
car
beep
as
the
doors
unlocked.
Please
go
in
the
drivers
side,
Ms.
Hwang.
Your
instructor
has
a
few
papers
to
sign
for
a
while
and
will
be
with
you
shortly.
She
nodded
and
entered
the
car.
She
closed
the
door
and
sighed,
waiting
(im)patiently
for
the
instructor.
She
watched
her
dad
converse
a
little
with
Mr.
Kim
before
shaking
his
hand.
Mr.
Kim
walked
back
to
the
building.
Her
dad
knocked
on
the
window
and
she
opened
it.
Ive
already
told
Mr.
Park
to
fetch
you
at
12:30,
so
just
wait
for
him
inside
the
building,
okay?
She
nodded.
Good
luck,
honey,
and
have
fun.
He
bent
a
little
and
kissed
her
forehead.
I
doubt
it,
but
thanks,
Dad.
He
smiled
at
her
before
walking
away.
-
A
knock
on
the
passenger
side
was
heard
and
she
straightened
up
before
looking
to
the
side.
The
door
opened
and
she
winced
as
she
prepared
herself
to
see
a
large
bald
man
covered
in
a
lot
of
facial
hair
sit
on
the
passenger
seat,
but
what
she
saw
was
the
complete
opposite.
Smooth
milky
white
legs
made
its
way
through
the
door
and
onto
the
car
floor
before
a
body
of
a
petite
woman
came
in
right
after.
She
gulped
when
she
studied
the
girls
face,
thanking
the
heavens
that
the
girl
was
too
busy
fixing
her
things
inside
the
car
to
notice
her
staring.
It
was
so
white
and
looked
so
smooth.
It
made
Tiffany
want
to
reach
out
and
touch
it.
Managing
to
hold
herself
back,
she
cleared
her
throat,
catching
the
other
girls
attention.
Er
I
think
you
might
have
entered
the
wrong
car,
she
said
as
politely
as
she
can,
afraid
of
offending
the
girl.
She
actually
didnt
want
her
to
leave,
but
heck,
she
wanted
to
finish
all
her
lessons
as
quickly
as
she
can.
Oh
my
gosh,
I
did?
The
girl
frowned
before
looking
at
the
clipboard
she
was
holding
and
flipping
through
the
papers
attached
to
it.
Hmm
she
hummed
then
looked
around
the
parking
lot.
Her
frowned
deepened
as
she
focused
her
gaze
back
to
the
clipboard
and
flipped
to
yet
another
page.
But
this
is
the
only
Silver
Honda
Civic
our
company
owns.
Tiffany
shook
her
head
a
bit,
trying
hard
to
focus
on
the
conversation
rather
than
the
cute
expressions
the
other
girl
was
making.
B-but
Im
waiting
for
my
driving
instructor.
Im
a
new
student
here.
Er
She
flips
to
another
page.
Ms.
Hwang?
Tiffany
was
confused
but
nodded
anyway.
The
girl
sighed
in
relief.
Oh,
good.
I
seriously
thought
I
entered
the
wrong
car.
That
wouldve
been
embarrassing,
she
chuckled.
Tiffany
was
only
staring
at
her,
which
made
the
other
girl
nervous.
The
girl
coughed
shyly
before
gasping.
Oh
gosh,
no
wonder.
She
rummaged
her
bag
and
pulled
out
an
ID
before
clipping
it
on
her
shirt.
She
pointed
at
it
before
giving
Tiffany
a
smile.
Im
Kim
Taeyeon,
your
new
driving
instructor.
Tiffany
almost
laughed
out
loud,
but
thankfully,
she
managed
to
control
herself.
Is
this
some
kind
of
joke?
How
in
the
world
can
this
Kim
Taeyeon
be
her
driving
instructor
when
she
doesnt
even
look
like
she
was
in
high
school
yet.
Dont
get
her
wrong;
she
was
happy
that
she
got
to
meet
this
girl,
but
seriously?
Driving
instructor?
She
scoffed.
She
saw
Taeyeon
frown.
Excuse
me,
but
is
there
anything
wrong?
Tiffany
wanted
to
let
out
a
squeal
as
she
thought
the
girl
was
cute,
but
controlled
herself.
Im
sorry,
but
are
you
serious?
You?
A
driving
instructor?
My
driving
instructor?
Er,
yes?
Didnt
I
just
tell
you
that?
Tiffany
let
out
another
scoff.
Is
this
some
kind
of
joke?
I
mean,
what
are
you?
Like
thirteen?
Fourteen,
maybe?
How
can
you
be
a
driving
instructor?
She
immediately
regretted
her
words
as
a
look
of
hurt
flashed
on
the
girls
face.
Im
sorry
to
say
but
I
am
actually
twenty-three
years
old,
and
I
have
been
driving
since
I
was
sixteen.
If
my
credentials
dont
impress
you
then
its
no
problem,
I
can
easily
transfer
you
to
Mr.
Hans
care.
She
gestured
to
a
man
standing
not
far
away
from
them.
Tiffany
looked
at
him
and
saw
that
he
was
exactly
what
she
didnt
like
to
be
a
student
of.
Feeling
guilty,
she
apologized
sincerely
to
the
girl
beside
her.
Im
sorry,
Taeyeon-ssi.
I
just
couldnt
believe
that
you
were
my
age.
You
look
young.
She
saw
Taeyeons
face
soften.
Well,
I
guess
its
okay.
I
get
that
a
lot.
Sorry
for
blowing
up.
Its
fine.
She
gave
the
girl
a
smile,
which
the
other
girl
returned.
-
Okay,
now
before
we
start,
Im
going
to
ask
you
a
few
questions
to
know
your
level
of
knowledge.
Tiffany
nodded
but
was
focusing
mainly
on
the
girls
lullaby-like
voice
and
tantalizing
eyes.
She
wondered
just
exactly
how
good
Taeyeon
is
for
her
to
be
teaching
driving
at
such
a
young
age.
So
have
you
ever
driven
before?
Taeyeon
asked
as
she
clicked
her
pen
and
started
scribbling
words
on
the
paper
she
was
holding.
No,
she
shook
her
head,
eyes
still
wandering
on
the
girls
beautiful
face.
Oh,
well
thats
okay.
Taeyeon
looked
back
at
her
and
smiled,
completely
stunning
Tiffany.
Ill
have
you
driving
like
a
pro
in
no
time!
My,
my,
Taeyeon-ah.
Look
how
much
youve
grown.
You
look
so
much
like
your
mother
now.
Very
pretty.
Taeyeon
blushed
and
bowed
again.
Thank
you,
Uncle.
Eh?
Uncle?
Mr.
Hwang
turned
to
her
daughter.
I
see
youre
getting
along
with
your
instructor.
Tiffany
was
confused
about
how
her
dad
and
Taeyeon
knew
each
but
smiled
and
nodded
nonetheless.
Good.
See?
I
found
you
an
instructor
that
wasnt
some
old
perverted
bald
dude,
he
said,
purposely
using
the
words
she
used
earlier.
Taeyeon
laughed
at
that.
I
guess
thats
why
you
looked
surprised
earlier.
But
the
guys
here
are
anything
but
those
things
youve
mentioned.
Theyre
really
good
guys.
Experts,
even.
Tiffany
was
embarrassed.
Sorry.
I
just
didnt
really
want
to
end
up
with
those
types.
Its
okay,
Taeyeon
smiled.
Anyway,
may
I
be
excused?
I
think
I
need
to
report
to
my
boss,
she
chuckled.
Nice
seeing
you
again,
Uncle.
See
you
tomorrow,
Ms.
Hwang.
She
smiled
at
them
before
waving
goodbye
and
heading
towards
one
of
the
offices.
-
So
how
was
your
first
day?
It
was
fine.
Pfft.
It
was
easy
as
pie.
Well,
Im
glad.
I
knew
Taeyeon
would
be
able
to
teach
you
well.
Oh
yeah,
about
that.
How
do
you
know
her?
Yes.
I
know
you
dont
want
old
guys
teaching
you
so
I
asked
Mr.
Kim
if
Taeyeon
would
be
up
for
the
job.
Tiffany
looked
at
him,
confused.
He
glanced
at
her
and
chuckled
before
focusing
back
on
the
road.
Taeyeon
is
the
daughter
of
Mr.
Kim,
the
man
we
talked
to
earlier,
remember?
Tiffany
nodded.
Well,
their
family
owns
the
driving
school
and
Mr.
Kims
an
old
friend
of
mine.
We
go
way
back,
him
and
me.
And
since
you
kept
complaining,
I
asked
him
a
favor
and
he
gladly
complied.
He
glanced
at
her
again.
Taeyeon
doesnt
usually
teach,
but
for
family
and
friends,
she
does
so
willingly.
But
shes
so
young.
And
beautiful.
Cant
forget
beautiful.
Mr.
Hwang
chuckled.
She
is,
isnt
she?
Shes
your
age,
I
assume
you
know,
but
she
has
had
an
interest
in
cars
since
she
was
little
so
it
wasnt
a
surprise
to
anyone
that
she
ended
up
being
a
really
good
driver.
Tiffany
nodded,
trying
to
digest
every
bit
of
information
she
can
about
her
crush.
How
come
Ive
never
seen
her
or
Mr.
Kim
before
And
how
come
you
call
Mr.
Kim,
Mr.
Kim
if
you
go
way
back?
We
were
doing
business,
so
its
only
proper
to
call
him
that.
And
you
were
never
interested
in
coming
with
me
to
the
parties
I
go
to
so
you
didnt
have
a
chance
to
meet
them.
Taeyeon
was
always
with
her
dad
because
it
was
apparently
one
of
the
conditions
before
she
could
start
learning
about
cars
and
driving.
Well,
since
you
know
Taeyeon
now,
I
think
itll
be
easier
to
force
you
to
come
with
me.
Tiffany
nodded
once
more
and
smiled
to
herself,
happy
that
she
got
to
know
more
about
that
cute
instructor
of
hers.
-
It
was
a
Saturday
and
although
she
enjoyed
the
whole
week
with
Taeyeon,
she
was
happy
to
be
sleeping
on
her
comfy
bed
with
her
fluffy
pillows
and
stuffed
toys
surrounding
her.
She
heard
her
door
open
but
didnt
open
her
eyes
to
see
who
it
was.
She
assumed
it
was
one
of
their
maids
so
she
didnt
bother
looking.
She
suddenly
felt
someone
shaking
her
shoulders.
She
groaned.
Im
sleeping.
She
heard
a
low
chuckle
and
instantly
knew
that
it
was
her
fathers.
She
hid
herself
under
her
covers,
hoping
her
dad
would
get
the
idea
that
she
wants
so
sleep
some
more.
Wake
up,
Miyoung-ah.
Its
a
Saturday,
I
dont
have
driving
lessons.
Let
me
sleep
in.
She
didnt
need
to
look
to
know
that
her
dad
shook
his
head.
She
felt
him
move
away
and
sighed
in
content.
She
was
about
to
resume
her
sleep
when
she
heard
her
dad
say
something
he
was
probably
on
the
phone.
Oh
well,
Jaewoo,
Tiffany
doesnt
want
to
wake
up.
Shes
probably
tired
from
all
the
driving
she
did
this
week,
he
chuckled.
Please
tell
Taeyeon
that
Im
sorry.
Maybe
next
time
Ill
force
Tiffany
to
come
along.
Her
eyes
instantly
fluttered
open
upon
hearing
Taeyeons
name.
She
sat
up
and
saw
her
dad
by
the
door
with
his
phone
against
his
ear.
Alright,
Jaewoo.
Ill
see
you
later.
He
ended
the
call
and
was
about
to
close
the
door
when
he
noticed
Tiffany
looking
at
him
while
sitting
on
her
bed.
Good
morning.
I
thought
you
wanted
to
sleep
in?
Who
was
that?
she
said,
completely
ignoring
her
dads
question.
Kim
Jaewoo,
the
owner
of
the
driving
school
you
attend.
Taeyeons
dad?
He
nodded.
Oh
She
wanted
to
ask
him
but
didnt
know
how.
Theres
a
small
gathering
at
their
house
later
at
lunch
and
he
invited
me.
He
told
me
that
Taeyeon
wanted
you
to
come,
but
I
told
him
that
you
wanted
to
sleep
in
so
Ill
just
go
by
myself.
Whats
the
occasion?
His
youngest
daughter,
Hayeon,
won
an
art
competition
and
theyre
celebrating
by
inviting
a
few
friends
over.
Ah
she
nodded.
Well,
I
better
get
ready.
Its
already
11
and
I
promised
to
be
there
at
12.
Ill
see
you
later,
Miyoung.
Wait!
Her
father
looked
back
at
her.
I
want
to
come.
Are
you
sure?
I
thought
you
wanted
to
sleep
in?
Actually,
never
mind
that.
Get
ready
and
get
dressed
as
quickly
as
you
can.
I
dont
want
to
be
late.
She
nodded
and
scurried
her
way
to
the
bathroom,
earning
a
chuckle
from
her
dad.
-
She
looked
around
the
garden;
trying
to
find
the
only
other
person
she
knows
other
than
her
dad.
She
squinted
her
eyes
when
they
landed
on
the
desserts
table.
There
she
saw
a
petite
figure
seemingly
trying
to
devour
all
the
cupcakes
available.
She
laughed
silently
and
made
her
way
there.
She
tapped
on
the
figures
shoulder
and
laughed
loudly
as
the
girl
faced
her.
Taeyeons
mouth
was
filled
with
the
Red
Velvet
cupcakes.
Yah,
are
you
that
hungry?
Though
it
had
never
crossed
her
mind
to
like
the
same
gender,
somehow,
liking
Taeyeon
wasnt
that
bad.
She
found
it
very
helpful,
actually.
Not
only
did
she
pester
Mr.
Park
to
help
her
practice
every
afternoon
after
driving
class,
but
she
would
also
take
the
initiative
of
asking
the
man
about
more
advanced
techniques
on
driving
just
so
she
could
impress
Taeyeon
the
next
day.
She
also
started
waking
up
early
earlier
than
her
father
even
much
to
everyones
surprise.
That
lazier-by-the-minute
Tiffany
Hwang
was
finally
taking
initiative
in
something
as
simple
waking
up
early
was
something
none
of
the
people
in
their
household
would
ever
thought
of
seeing.
But
here
she
was
waking
up
way
ahead
of
everyone,
even
with
a
big
smile
plastered
on
her
face.
Taeyeon
smiled
brightly
at
her.
Tiffany
was
growing
accustomed
to
that
innocent
child-
like
smile.
It
had
been
five
days
since
she
started
driving
lessons
and
she
loved
every
bit
of
it.
The
two
of
them
also
grew
closer
as
they
spent
more
time
together.
Although
she
didnt
know
if
the
feeling
was
mutual,
Tiffany
was
just
as
happy
spending
time
with
Taeyeon.
Oh,
by
the
way,
I
have
this
car
show
tomorrow,
and
I
was
wondering
if
youd
like
to
come?
Omo!
M-me?
Calm
down,
Tiffany.
Its
not
like
shes
asking
you
to
go
on
a
date
with
her
or
anything.
Taeyeon
nodded.
Yeah,
I
mean,
only
if
you
want
to.
Would
it
be
just
the
two
of
us?
Play
it
cool,
Miyoung.
O-oh.
Okay.
Ill
ask
Dad
if
I
can
go.
Really?!
Yay!
Oh,
text
me
if
your
father
allowed
you.
Heres
my
number.
They
exchanged
phone
numbers.
Thank
you,
Tiffany!
No
problem,
Tiffany
said
as
she
wiped
her
mouth
clean
of
the
cupcake
remnants.
Oh,
you
missed
a
spot.
Tiffany
didnt
hear
Taeyeon
and
turned
her
head.
Her
eyes
widened.
So
close
to
her
face
was
Taeyeons.
Taeyeon
seemed
to
notice
their
proximity
too
as
she
had
the
same
expression
of
shock.
Tiffany
took
the
chance
to
observe
Taeyeons
face
up
close.
The
girl
was
definitely
beautiful;
no
one
can
ever
deny
that,
which
makes
her
wonder
if
Taeyeon
was
taken.
She
was
then
drawn
to
the
girls
mesmerizing
orbs.
She
gulped
and
unconsciously
leaned
forward.
She
wasnt
sure
if
she
was
seeing
things
but
it
seemed
to
her
like
Taeyeon
was
leaning
towards
her
as
well.
No
one
said
a
word
as
both
continued
leaning
towards
the
each
other.
Their
faces
were
so
close
to
each
other
that
she
could
feel
Taeyeons
breath
on
her
lips.
She
was
about
to
close
the
gap
when
a
loud
shout
from
behind
brought
them
out
of
their
trance.
UNNIE!
Part
2
Tiffany
huffed
in
annoyance
as
she
remembered
the
earlier
events.
She
remembered
how
both
of
them
looked
at
Hayeon
with
flushed
faces,
as
if
theyve
been
caught
doing
something
illegal
which
wouldnt
be
as
irritating
for
Tiffany
if
that
stupid
kiss
did
happen.
Taeyeon
refused
to
look
at
her
after
that
incident,
and
it
irked
her.
She
spent
the
rest
of
Hayeons
celebration
avoiding
Taeyeon.
But
didnt
she
want
that
too?
Or
was
I
only
assuming
things?
Maybe
she
wasnt
even
leaning
forward!
She
shifted
on
her
seat
for
the
tenth
time
during
the
fifteen-minute
ride.
Whats
wrong?
She
glanced
at
her
father
briefly
before
looking
out
the
window.
Nothing,
Dad.
Oh
come
on,
Im
your
father.
I
know
its
not
nothing.
She
contemplated.
Should
she
ask
him
if
she
could
go
to
the
car
show
tomorrow?
Wait,
does
the
offer
even
still
stand?
Does
Taeyeon
still
want
her
to
come?
She
was
confused
and
bothered.
She
sighed
and
shook
her
head.
Unknown
to
her,
Mr.
Hwang
was
observing
her
from
the
other
side
of
the
car.
He
chuckled
silently
at
how
her
expression
would
change
from
confusion
to
that
of
irritation.
He
shook
his
head
and
decided
to
just
let
his
daughter
be.
-
She
groaned
when
her
phone
beeped,
fighting
the
urge
to
throw
it
against
the
wall.
She
massaged
her
aching
head,
which
was
the
result
of
a
sleepless
night.
She
was
still
frustrated
about
that
kiss
if
you
can
even
call
it
that
that
she
found
it
hard
to
get
some
shut
eye.
She
grabbed
her
phone
from
her
bedside
table
and
tapped
the
screen
to
open
the
message.
Good
morning,
Tiffany!
Have
you
asked
your
dad
about
that
car
show?
Her
brain
instantly
started
working
and
her
eyes
widened.
It
was
Taeyeon.
She
still
wants
me
to
come?
She
fumbled
on
her
phone,
trying
to
think
of
a
reply.
She
ruffled
her
head
and
just
let
her
fingers
do
the
work.
You
still
want
me
to
come?
She
waited
for
the
reply.
It
soon
came.
Of
course,
silly.
Why
wouldnt
I
want
you
to
come?
I
invited
you,
didnt
I?
She
indeed
felt
silly
but
she
had
to
make
sure.
She
didnt
want
to
assume
again
and
get
disappointed
again.
Yes,
you
did.
Okay
then.
So
what
did
he
say?
Oh
right.
I
havent
asked.
She
jumped
off
her
bed
and
practically
ran
to
her
fathers
room.
She
furiously
knocked
on
the
mans
door,
only
to
receive
no
answer.
She
knocked
harder
until
she
felt
a
tap
on
her
shoulder.
Ms.
Hwang,
is
there
a
problem?
Ahjumma,
wheres
Daddy?
Oh,
hes
having
breakfast
downstairs.
Oh,
right.
She
thanked
the
old
lady
and
rushed
to
the
dining
room,
finding
her
dad
sipping
his
coffee
while
reading
the
newspaper.
Daddy!
The
man
was
startled
by
the
sudden
appearance
of
his
daughter,
who
shouted
and
was
panting.
Yes,
darling?
Youre
up
early
today.
Do
you
have
any
plans?
Dad,
can
I
go
to
a
car
show?
Car
show?
He
furrowed
his
eyebrows
in
confusion.
Since
when
was
his
daughter
interested
in
cars?
Yes.
Taeyeon
invited
me
to
come
with
her.
Ah
He
finally
understood.
I
got
confused
there
for
a
second,
he
chuckled,
but
go
ahead.
Im
sure
Taeyeon
will
take
good
care
of
you.
She
squealed
in
delight
and
hugged
her
father
tightly.
Thanks,
Dad!
She
pecked
his
cheek.
Ive
never
thought
Id
see
the
day
youd
be
this
interested
in
cars,
he
shook
his
head
and
went
back
to
reading
the
papers.
She
grinned
at
him,
happy
that
he
didnt
know
her
true
reason
for
being
this
excited.
She
ran
back
to
her
room
and
grabbed
her
phone
again,
only
to
see
another
message
from
Taeyeon.
Tiffany?
Did
he
allow
you
to
go?
I
can
talk
to
him
if
he
didnt
agree.
She
smiled.
No
no.
He
said
yes.
What
time
is
it
again?
Ah,
good.
Its
at
10:30,
so
you
have
about
an
hour
and
a
half.
Okay,
Ill
meet
you
there
at
around
10:15?
Can
you
text
me
the
address
so
I
can
tell
our
driver?
She
waited
for
the
reply
but
when
none
came,
she
shrugged
and
took
her
bathrobe
from
her
closet
then
went
inside
her
bathroom
to
get
ready.
-
She
came
out
of
the
bathroom,
feeling
refreshed.
She
grabbed
her
phone
from
her
table
again
and
frowned
when
there
was
still
no
reply
from
Taeyeon.
How
was
she
supposed
to
go
to
the
show
if
she
doesnt
know
where
it
will
be?
She
decided
to
text
Taeyeon
again.
Taeyeon?
Wheres
the
show
going
to
be?
She
pushed
her
phone
aside
while
waiting
for
the
reply
and
dried
her
hair.
She
let
out
a
frustrated
sigh
when
there
was
still
message
from
her
crush.
Was
this
all
a
joke?
Just
then,
she
heard
a
knock
from
her
door.
She
huffed
and
walked
slowly
to
the
door.
She
opened
it
and
was
shock
to
see
the
person
standing
in
front
of
her.
Taeyeon?
She
saw
Taeyeon
freeze
in
her
spot
as
she
looked
at
her
from
head
to
toe.
Following
the
girls
gaze,
she
realized
that
she
was
only
in
her
bathrobe.
She
let
out
a
gasp
and
slammed
the
door
on
Taeyeons
face.
She
frantically
searched
for
a
shirt
and
a
pair
of
shorts
and
put
them
on
quickly.
She
checked
herself
in
front
of
the
mirror.
She
grimaced
at
the
sight.
Her
hair
was
all
over
the
place
and
her
clothes
were
not
worn
properly.
She
grabbed
her
brush
and
quickly
fixed
her
hair.
She
then
ran
to
the
door
and
opened
it,
only
to
see
Taeyeon
still
frozen
and
dazed.
She
smiled
at
the
cute
sight.
She
snapped
her
fingers
in
front
of
Taeyeon.
Taeyeon?
Taeyeon
shook
her
head
and
blinked
rapidly.
O-oh.
Sorry.
Tiffany
grinned,
happy
to
have
that
kind
of
effect
on
Taeyeon.
Its
alright.
Oh!
Wait!
Why
didnt
you
reply
to
any
of
my
messages?
Oh!
I
was
driving
so
I
cant
be
bothered
with
my
phone.
Where
were
you
going?
Here.
Huh?
I
drove
here.
It
would
be
such
a
waste
of
gas
if
we
go
separately,
so
I
thought
Id
pick
you
up.
If
her
face
could
get
any
redder,
it
would
have.
She
suppressed
a
wide
smile
and
asked
the
girl
to
come
in
her
room,
as
she
got
dressed
inside
the
bathroom,
mind
you.
She
walked
out
minutes
later
clad
in
a
pair
of
white
short
shorts
and
light
pink
button
up
blouse.
Couple
look,
she
heard
Taeyeon
mumble
under
her
breath.
Confusion
was
written
all
over
her
face
but
it
soon
turned
into
that
of
surprise
when
Taeyeon
clutched
her
blue
light
blue
how
did
she
even
not
notice
that
button
up
blouse.
Now
that
she
had
a
proper
look
at
Taeyeon,
the
two
of
them
definitely
looked
like
a
couple.
She
thought
about
changing
but
when
she
took
a
glance
at
the
time,
she
realized
that
should
she
decide
to
change,
theyd
end
up
running
late.
She
took
a
deep
breath
and
picked
up
her
purse,
acting
like
she
didnt
hear
what
Taeyeon
said.
Lets
go?
Looking
like
a
couple
isnt
that
bad.
Right.
Lets
go.
-
They
got
there
just
in
time
before
the
opening.
The
place
was
packed
with
spectators
and
participants.
It
was
hard
for
anyone
to
squeeze
through
the
crowd
even
for
Taeyeon
and
Tiffany.
Actually,
it
was
a
little
easier
on
Taeyeon
as
she
was
a
little
on
the
short
side
and
her
body
was
petite.
For
Tiffany,
however,
it
was
like
a
great
challenge.
Taeyeon
barged
through
the
crowd
but
Tiffany
found
it
hard
to
follow
the
girl,
as
the
people
would
go
back
to
their
places
and
block
her
way.
She
was
pushed
and
shoved
and
it
was
making
her
a
little
irritated.
I
shouldnt
have
come
here.
Just
as
she
was
about
to
give
up
on
making
her
way
through,
a
hand
grasped
hers
and
she
was
pulled
near
the
stage.
When
she
had
a
proper
place
upfront,
she
looked
at
the
hand
tightly
holding
hers
and
saw
Taeyeon
looking
towards
the
stage,
obviously
trying
hard
not
to
look
back
at
her.
The
girls
face
was
as
red
as
a
tomato
but
she
didnt
say
anything.
On
second
thought,
Im
glad
I
came.
She
saw
Taeyeons
dad
come
up
the
stage.
He
did
the
opening
speech
and
everyone
in
the
huge
room
clapped
their
hands
except
her.
She
wanted
to
clap
too,
but
she
didnt
want
to
let
go
of
Taeyeons
hand.
Surprisingly,
Taeyeon
didnt
let
go
of
her
hand
either.
The
girl
was
only
smiling
brightly
at
her
father.
Once
the
opening
ceremonies
ended,
the
crowd
dispersed
and
went
to
look
at
the
displayed
cars.
Not
having
an
idea
what
to
do
next,
Tiffany
let
Taeyeon
lead
the
way.
The
girl
led
her
to
the
side
of
the
stage
where
she
sees
Mr.
Kim
standing.
He
smiled
at
them
as
they
walked
nearer.
Good
morning,
Ms.
Hwang.
Im
glad
you
could
come.
She
bowed
to
him
and
smiled.
Please
call
me
Tiffany
or
Miyoung,
Mr.
Kim
and
its
my
pleasure.
Then
feel
free
to
call
me
Uncle.
He
then
eyed
his
daughter.
Good
job
with
the
marketing,
Taeyeon-ah.
Your
first
project,
and
its
going
great.
Thanks,
Dad.
He
smiled
at
Taeyeon
before
looking
down
at
their
hands.
Tiffany
followed
his
gaze
and
saw
that
he
was
looking
at
their
hands.
Oh
my
gosh,
why
is
he
looking
at
our
hands
like
that?
Friends
do
this
right?
And
were
friends,
right?
The
last
thought
made
her
sad,
but
she
didnt
show
it.
She
looked
back
at
Mr.
Kim
and
saw
him
shaking
his
head
while
smiling.
Ill
be
going
around,
Taeyeon-ah,
but
Ill
probably
leave
in
half
an
hour.
Do
you
think
you
can
handle
everything
around
here?
Taeyeon
nodded.
If
I
need
anything,
I
can
just
ask
Jihae
unnie
or
Minwoo
oppa
for
help.
Mr.
Kim
nodded.
Alright.
Enjoy
you
two.
He
waved
and
left.
Once
he
was
out
of
sight,
Taeyeon
turned
to
her.
Do
you
want
to
see
the
cars?
She
nodded
and
felt
Taeyeon
squeeze
her
hand
before
leading
her
to
the
exhibit.
-
And
that
ones
a
Nissan
GTR
R35.
Ive
always
wanted
one
but
mom
and
dad
told
me
to
save
up
for
it.
She
nodded,
trying
to
digest
everything
Taeyeon
was
telling
her
about
the
different
cars
they
saw
but
found
it
hard.
How
many
different
cars
are
there?
Why
isnt
there
a
pink
one?
Taeyeon
stopped
walking
to
look
at
her
and
chuckled.
Pink?
Pink
wont
look
cool
in
a
car
show.
Says
you.
Pink
can
be
cool
too,
you
know.
Taeyeon
laughed
and
pulled
her
hand
to
start
walking
again.
Alright,
whatever
you
say.
They
continued
walking
with
Taeyeon
telling
Tiffany
about
the
different
cars
displayed.
Taeyeon
even
introduced
her
to
some
of
her
friends
who
owned
some
of
the
cars
displayed
in
the
show.
She
half-expected
them
to
be
big
burly
men
with
tattoos
or
women
with
huge
chests,
big
hair,
and
chewing
gum
disgustingly.
That
earned
a
loud
laugh
from
Taeyeon
who
asked
her,
You
really
like
stereotyping,
dont
you?
She
had
to
lower
her
head
in
shame
and
told
Taeyeon
that
it
was
because
of
the
movies
she
watched
from
before.
Fortunately,
Taeyeon
didnt
take
it
badly.
Taeyeons
friends
were
anything
but
big
and
disgusting.
They
were
actually
all
pretty
and
nice.
The
two
of
them
spent
about
two
hours
in
the
car
show
before
Taeyeon
asked
her
if
she
would
like
to
have
lunch.
She
said
yes,
obviously.
-
Can
I
ask
you
something?
Tiffany
asked
as
she
took
a
bite
of
her
burger.
Sure,
go
ahead.
What
made
you
interested
in
cars?
I
mean,
its
not
usual
for
a
girl
to
be
this
interested
in
cars.
Oh,
I
dont
know.
Maybe
its
because
Appa
likes
cars
too.
People
often
say
that
were
like
mirror
images
of
each
other,
and
I
guess
it
extended
until
the
things
we
like.
Appa
and
Umma
never
had
a
problem
with
it
anyway,
so
everythings
cool.
Ah,
Tiffany
nodded
and
took
another
bite.
She
thought
about
how
Taeyeon
looked
cool
earlier
when
she
was
driving.
She
wasnt
even
driving
that
fast!
Taeyeon
was
driving
at
a
normal
speed
but
everything
about
her
screamed
cool.
By
now,
all
thoughts
of
liking
a
girl
seemed
insignificant
to
her.
Whats
wrong
with
it
anyway?
Okay,
so
maybe
Dad
would
kill
me
if
he
found
out,
but...
Can
I
ask
you
something
too?
Her
thoughts
were
interrupted
by
Taeyeons
sweet
voice.
Go
ahead.
Were
you
really
going
to
kiss
me
yesterday?
Tiffany
choked
on
her
burger.
She
coughed
and
tried
to
reach
out
for
her
drink,
which
Taeyeon
handed
to
her.
She
completely
forgot
about
the
kiss
and
thought
maybe
Taeyeon
forgot
about
it
too
because
theyve
been
together
since
this
morning
and
Taeyeon
wasnt
saying
anything
about
it.
Taeyeon
looked
on
concernedly.
Im
sorry.
I
shouldnt
have
asked
that.
N-no.
Its
uh
Taengoo!
They
both
turned
their
heads
at
the
voice
and
saw
Yuri,
one
of
Taeyeons
friends
from
the
car
show,
walking
in
the
restaurant.
Hi,
Yul.
Tiffany
just
waved
her
hand,
still
thinking
about
what
Taeyeon
asked.
Would
it
be
weird
if
she
asked
Taeyeon
the
same
question?
Why
would
it,
though?
She
asked
first!
But
what
if
she
was
going
to
tell
me
that
she
thinks
its
disgusting?
But
but
Tiffany
was
too
preoccupied
with
her
thoughts
that
she
didnt
notice
Yuri
leave.
Aish,
youre
really
a
messy
eater.
Taeyeons
voice
broke
her
thoughts
again.
Her
head
snapped
to
the
side,
and
for
the
second
time
this
weekend,
Taeyeons
face
was
so
close
to
hers.
Her
eyes
were
wide
and
so
were
Taeyeons.
She
gulped,
wanting
that
kiss
that
never
happened
yesterday.
She
was
contemplating
on
whether
to
close
the
gap
or
not.
Then
she
remembered
her
thoughts
earlier.
What
if
Taeyeon
didnt
like
to
be
kissed
by
some
girl
she
just
met
not
even
a
week
ago?
What
if
shes
disgusted
by
the
thought
of
girls
liking
girls?
Her
mind
was
a
whirlwind.
Luckily,
or
unluckily,
Taeyeon
pulled
away
and
handed
a
napkin.
Er,
here.
Th-thanks.
And
for
that
second
time
in
that
weekend,
too,
everything
was
awkward.
-
Tiffany
stepped
out
of
the
car
and
Taeyeon
followed.
They
walked
up
the
stepped
and
Tiffany
took
out
her
keys
from
her
bag
before
inserting
it
into
the
keyhole
and
twisting
the
doorknob
to
open
the
door.
She
then
faced
Taeyeon.
Thanks
for
today,
Taeyeon.
I
enjoyed
it.
I
wouldve
enjoyed
it
more
if
a
kiss
was
involved
but
whatever.
Me
too.
Silence.
Um,
well,
goodbye.
Bye,
Taeyeon
mumbled.
Tiffany
took
one
last
look
at
Taeyeon
before
turning
to
walk
inside
her
house.
W-wait!
Tiffany
turned
back
when
she
heard
Taeyeon
but
what
happened
next
made
her
eyes
almost
pop
out
from
its
sockets.
Pressed
against
her
lips
were
Taeyeons.
She
couldnt
breathe.
Heck,
she
didnt
want
to
breathe
if
that
would
mean
ending
whatever
this
is.
It
wasnt
even
a
real
kiss.
It
was
just
Taeyeons
lips
gently
pressed
against
hers.
But
it
sent
her
to
heaven.
Taeyeon
pulled
away
shortly
and
muttered
another
goodbye
before
scurrying
to
her
car
and
driving
away,
leaving
Tiffany
breathless
and
wanting
for
more.
Part
3
Tiffany
woke
up
the
next
day
with
a
huge
smile
on
her
face.
She
woke
up
earlier
than
usual
and
prepared
for
driving
class.
She
was
about
to
get
dressed
when
a
knock
on
the
door
stopped
her.
Come
in.
The
door
cracked
open
and
her
dads
head
popped
in.
Miyoung.
No
driving
class
for
today.
Taeyeon
said
she
needed
to
do
something
important.
She
was
sad.
O-oh.
Okay.
Thanks,
Dad.
She
forced
out
a
smile,
which
her
dad
returned
before
he
closed
the
door
and
left
her
alone.
Her
shoulders
slumped.
She
was
so
happy
waking
up
and
thinking
about
howd
they
treat
each
other
now
after
the
kiss
but
all
thoughts
dispersed
when
her
dad
told
her
the
news.
Whats
so
important
that
she
has
to
cancel
classes
today
anyway?
She
huffed
like
a
kid
and
sat
on
the
edge
of
her
bed.
She
was
in
no
mood
to
do
anything
now.
Without
much
to
do,
she
decided
to
just
go
back
to
sleep.
-
She
woke
up
to
the
sound
of
someone
knocking
on
her
door.
She
sat
up
and
groaned.
Who
is
it?
Ms.
Hwang?
She
heard
the
ahjummas
voice.
Ahjumma?
Come
in.
The
house
helper
opened
the
door
and
walked
in
her
room.
She
bowed.
Ms.
Hwang,
Mr.
Park
is
asking
me
if
youre
going
to
practice
driving
today.
What?
Its
too
early.
She
looked
at
her
clock
and
saw
that
it
was
already
past
1PM.
Oh.
She
didnt
even
know
she
slept
that
long.
Mustve
been
very
tired
yesterday,
she
thought.
Well,
I
guess
I
could
practice
now
and
impress
Taeyeon
again
tomorrow.
She
looked
at
the
ahjumma
and
said,
Yes,
Ahjumma,
I
am.
Please
tell
him
to
wait
for
me.
Ill
just
freshen
up.
The
ahjumma
nodded
and
bowed
before
leaving
the
room.
-
It
was
a
bright
and
sunny
Tuesday
and
Tiffany
was
waiting
inside
the
car
for
her
lessons
with
Taeyeon.
One
of
the
office
workers
in
the
driver
school
gave
her
the
keys
so
she
could
wait
inside
the
car
instead
since
her
driving
instructor
wasnt
there
yet.
The
shorter
girl
was
unusually
late
but
Tiffany
waited
patiently
and
a
bit
nervously.
She
woke
up
extra
early
this
morning
earlier
than
yesterday,
would
you
believe
just
to
get
ready.
The
people
in
the
Hwang
household
Mr.
Hwang
included
couldnt
fathom
what
happened
to
the
youngest
Hwang.
They
were
both
amazed
and
bewildered.
Tiffany
snapped
out
of
her
thoughts
when
the
door
to
the
passenger
side.
She
was
preparing
to
scold
the
other
girl
for
being
late
and
maybe
even
offer
a
shy
smile
after,
so
imagine
her
surprise
when
a
man
in
his
40s
with
short
hair
white
hair
sticking
out
came
in
and
sat
on
what
was
supposed
to
be
Taeyeons
spot.
Good
morning,
Ms.
Hwang.
The
man
let
out
a
kind
smile.
She
tried
to
return
it
but
it
made
her
look
weird.
Er,
morning.
She
couldnt
utter
anything
else.
Where
is
Taeyeon?!
Im
Mr.
Lee,
your
instructor
for
today.
Shall
we
start?
She
nodded
but
wasnt
really
paying
any
attention.
Should
I
ask
him?
Okay
then,
please
start
the
car.
Wouldnt
that
seem
weird
though?
Ms.
Hwang?
But
its
okay
to
be
curious
right?
Excuse
me,
Ms.
Hwang?
I
mean
she
is
my
driving
instructor.
Hello?
Ms.
Hwang?
She
still
is,
right?
A
loud
honk
made
her
jump
on
her
seat.
She
looked
at
the
man
and
saw
him
smiling
apologetically.
Sorry,
I
was
calling
you
and
you
werent
answering.
O-oh.
Sorry.
She
lowered
her
head,
feeling
very
embarrassed,
but
the
thoughts
about
Taeyeon
whereabouts
were
still
lingering
inside
her
head.
Its
fine,
Miss.
Shall
we
start
now
then?
She
nodded
and
quickly
started
the
car.
-
She
walked
into
her
house
and
was
greeted
almost
immediately
by
her
dad.
Hello
there,
Miyoung.
How
was
driving
class?
Fine,
she
muttered,
but
driving
class
was
anything
but
that.
The
engine
died
on
her
more
than
five
times
while
driving
in
light
and
I
mean
very
light
traffic.
She
almost
scratched
another
persons
car
while
attempting
to
park
which
she
did
smoothly
last
week.
And
the
car
wouldve
rolled
downhill
if
it
werent
for
the
instructors
fast
reflexes.
She
was
distracted
all
morning
and
she
wasnt
the
least
bit
happy
about
it.
She
was
doing
fine
last
week!
How
can
that
stupid
shorty
have
this
much
effect
on
me?
Her
face
scrunched
up
in
irritation.
Her
dad
chuckled
at
her
face.
What
is
wrong
with
you,
child?
She
shook
her
head.
Im
tired,
Dad.
Call
me
when
its
time
for
lunch.
He
patted
her
head.
Okay.
Ahjummas
just
cooking.
Ill
call
you.
She
nodded
her
head
and
went
upstairs
to
her
room.
She
rolled
on
her
bed
and
sighed.
Maybe
shes
just
busy.
Heck,
I
shouldnt
even
be
bothering
myself
with
this.
But
the
kiss.
Was
it
just
a
spur
of
the
moment?
Something
she
just
thought
of
doing
because
she
was
curious?
Various
thoughts
went
through
her
mind
and
it
was
driving
her
insane.
She
knew
she
liked
the
girl
but
does
the
girl
feel
the
same?
She
used
to
not
care
if
the
feeling
was
mutual
but
she
kissed
her!
I
didnt
even
initiate
it!
She
did!
She
ruffled
her
hair
before
turning
to
lie
on
her
stomach
and
burying
her
face
into
the
thick,
fluffy
pillow.
-
It
was
now
a
Friday
and
Taeyeon
hasnt
come
to
class
in
four
days.
Tiffany
was
completely
losing
her
mind
over
it.
She
hasnt
driven
well
since
that
first
class
with
Mr.
Lee
and
to
say
that
Mr.
Park
was
surprised
that
she
bumped
into
one
of
her
dads
other
cars
while
practicing
was
an
understatement.
The
man
was
baffled.
She
was
almost
driving
like
a
pro
last
week
so
to
see
her
suddenly
bump
a
car
and
almost
completely
take
out
its
front
bumper
made
the
man
worry.
What
happened
to
her?
She
didnt
go
to
driving
class
today
for
fear
that
Mr.
Lee,
the
new
driving
instructor,
might
be
experiencing
trauma
after
she
almost
ended
both
their
lives
with
her
madwoman-like
driving
more
than
a
couple
of
times.
She
felt
sorry
for
the
man
but
felt
more
sorry
for
herself.
What
was
she
doing
moping
over
someone
who
was
probably
enjoying
her
time
somewhere
out
there?
And
she
stole
a
kiss
before
leaving
too.
Tsk.
Kiss
and
run.
What
the
hell.
Sure
she
could
text
the
girl,
but
it
just
doesnt
seem
right.
It
didnt
feel
right.
She
wanted
to,
but
she
was
afraid
to
be
rejected.
She
lied
lazily
on
her
bed,
looking
at
the
ceiling
as
if
it
held
answers
to
the
countless
questions
circling
her
mind.
Her
dad
tried
talking
her
into
going
out
with
him
for
lunch
but
she
kindly
refused.
She
was
in
no
mood
to
move.
Her
head
was
hurting
and
so
was
her
heart.
Kind
of
fast
to
call
it
love
but
she
definitely
she
was
sure
of
it
liked
the
girl
very
much.
And
that
kiss
worsened
it.
She
blamed
everything
on
that
kiss.
If
that
didnt
happen,
then
maybe
she
was
still
able
to
see
Taeyeon
now
with
a
driving
license
to
boot.
Yes,
she
didnt
initiate
it,
but
it
happened,
and
now
Taeyeons
nowhere
to
be
seen.
Her
phone
vibrated
and
she
ran
her
hand
on
her
bed,
searching
for
it.
She
held
up
the
device
in
front
of
her
and
there
was
a
tiny
part
of
her
that
hoped
it
was
a
message
from
Taeyeon.
It
wasnt.
It
was
from
her
dad
telling
her
to
at
least
practice
driving
with
Mr.
Park.
She
sighed.
Her
dad
really
wanted
her
to
learn
how
to
drive.
He
wasnt
even
mad
about
the
dented
car.
He
said
it
was
part
of
learning.
She
got
out
of
bed
and
went
to
the
bathroom
to
fix
herself
up.
-
Ms.
Hwang,
is
everything
okay?
She
looked
to
her
side
and
saw
Mr.
Park
looking
at
her
worriedly.
They
were
parked
at
the
side
of
the
road
after
the
man
told
her
to
do
so
when
she
yet
again
almost
crashed
into
another
car.
She
sighed.
Yes,
Mr.
Park.
The
man
eyed
her
before
sighing
too.
Ms.
Hwang,
I
know
Im
not
part
of
your
family,
but
you
can
still
tell
me
everything.
I
have
been
with
your
family
since
your
father
married
your
mother
and
Ive
always
treated
you
as
my
daughter,
so
I
know
that
everythings
not
okay.
She
didnt
say
anything,
but
was
silently
thanking
the
man
she
grew
up
considering
her
second
father.
Mr.
Park
continued.
Plus,
you
were
doing
fine
last
week
until
last
Monday.
You
were
even
driving
better
than
me.
He
chuckled,
trying
to
lighten
up
the
mood.
Tiffany
smiled
a
little.
Just
out
of
my
element,
I
guess.
The
man
took
in
Tiffanys
answer
and
figured
she
needed
some
more
time
alone.
Alright.
But
if
anythings
wrong,
anything
at
all,
please
dont
hesitate
to
talk
to
your
dad.
She
laughed
at
the
mans
attempt
to
joke.
The
man
smiled.
Its
good
to
hear
you
laugh
again,
Ms.
Hwang.
But
kidding
aside,
if
theres
anything,
please
dont
hesitate
to
talk
to
me.
She
nodded
and
smiled
gratefully.
-
Saturday
eventually
came
and
Tiffany
woke
up
with
a
start.
She
tried
blocking
out
any
thoughts
of
Taeyeon
and
was
a
bit
successful.
She
decided
on
asking
her
dad
to
go
out
for
lunch
today
to
catch
up
with
him.
She
walked
down
the
stairs
and
surprisingly,
she
heard
an
unfamiliar
yet
strangely,
very
familiar
voice
coming
from
the
kitchen.
Curiosity
got
the
best
of
her
and
she
headed
towards
the
source.
Her
eyes
widened
when,
standing
in
front
of
her
talking
and
laughing
with
her
father
was
the
person
she
was
hoping
to
not
think
about
today.
Oh
great.
Probably
sensing
another
presence
in
the
room,
Taeyeon
and
Mr.
Hwang
turned
towards
the
door
to
see
Tiffany
staring
at
them
with
wide
eyes
and
mouth
agape.
Good
morning,
Tiffany.
Taeyeon
smiled
brightly.
Good
morning,
Tiffany??
Thats
all
you
can
say??
Tiffany
wasnt
answering
and
was
just
staring
at
Taeyeon.
Er,
Tiffany?
How
about
explaining
why
you
didnt
show
up
for
class
for
four
days!
Mr.
Hwang
got
worried
at
his
daughters
lack
of
response.
Miyoung?
How
about
explaining
why
you
didnt
even
text
me!
Taeyeon
and
Mr.
Hwang
exchanged
worried
glances.
How
about
explaining
why
you
kissed
me
one
day
then
disappeared
the
next!
Mr.
Hwang
walked
closer
to
his
daughter
and
nudged
her
by
the
shoulder
gently.
Miyoung.
Youre
making
us
worried.
Why
arent
you
saying
anything?
Her
surprised
expression
eventually
turned
into
a
glare
directed
to
Taeyeon.
The
shorter
of
the
two
saw
the
look
and
gulped,
feeling
less
worried
and
more
scared
by
the
second.
Tiffany?
Taeyeon
squeaked
out.
No
answer.
Miyoung,
Taeyeon
has
something
to
ask
you.
Answer
her.
A
bit
mad,
but
still
curious
about
what
the
girl
had
to
ask,
she
finally
spoke.
What
is
it?
Taeyeon
released
a
sigh
of
relief.
Shes
finally
talking.
Oh,
Ill
leave
the
two
of
your
for
a
while,
okay?
Taeyeon
smiled
at
Mr.
Hwang
while
Tiffany
only
nodded,
still
looking
at
Taeyeon.
Once
Mr.
Hwang
stepped
out
of
the
kitchen,
Taeyeon
turned
her
attention
to
Tiffany.
How
are
you?
She
asked
awkwardly.
Im
a
mess!
Fine.
You?
Im
great.
Whoopie!
Good
for
you.
Good.
How
are
driving
lessons?
Tiffany
raised
an
eyebrow,
refusing
to
tell
the
other
girl
about
her
horrible
driving
because
that
would
mean
indirectly
confessing
that
shes
distracted
without
her.
A-alright.
Im
just
going
to
assume
its
going
fine.
Silence.
Taeyeon
cleared
her
throat.
A-anyway,
I
just
want
to
ask
if
you
want
to
go
to
another
car
show
with
me
tomorrow.
I-I
already
asked
Uncle
so
I
she
trailed
off,
not
really
knowing
how
to
continue.
What?!
How
can
you
just
barge
into
my
house
and
ask
me
ever
so
casually
to
go
to
another
stupid
car
show?
Then
what?
Youre
going
to
kiss
me
again
then
leave
AGAIN?!
Her
inner
self
was
on
a
rampage.
It
took
a
lot
of
self-control
for
her
not
to
throw
something
at
Taeyeon.
Shes
not
even
going
to
talk
about
that
kiss,
is
she?
She
silently
sighed.
I
knew
it
was
just
an
experiment
to
her.
Not
hearing
an
answer
from
the
taller
girl,
Taeyeon
dared
herself
to
ask
the
girl
again.
Um,
Tiffany?
Would
you
like
to
go
with
me
to
that
car
show?
I-Im
entering
the
competition.
Yeah,
and
that
helps,
how
exactly?
Tiffany
almost
scoffed.
Taeyeon
lowered
her
head,
not
really
finding
this
version
of
Tiffany
very
comfortable
to
be
with.
Tiffany
noticed
her
discomfort
and
immediately
softened.
How?
How
in
the
world
do
you
have
this
kind
of
effect
on
me
when
I
dont
think
I
even
cross
your
mind?
She
sighed.
Fine,
Ill
go.
Taeyeons
head
snapped
back
up,
showing
a
shocked
face
that
later
spread
out
into
a
wide
smile.
I
must
be
a
fool.
That
smile
made
her
smile
as
well.
-
Tiffany
walked
out
of
her
house
and
saw
Taeyeon
leaning
against
her
car
while
lazily
looking
at
her
nails.
Observing
the
girl
for
a
few
seconds,
she
found
it
cute
how
Taeyeon
was
only
wearing
a
pair
of
skinny
jeans
and
white
shirt
with
light
blue
sneakers.
Adorable.
Hearing
faint
footsteps
getting
nearer,
Taeyeon
looked
up
from
her
nails
and
saw
Tiffany
walking
closer
to
her.
She
smiled.
Good
morning.
Tiffany
was
still
a
little
mad
about
the
sudden
disappearance,
but
figured
she
shouldnt
scare
the
girl
so
much.
Morning.
Ready
to
go?
Yup.
Taeyeon
opened
the
door
for
her
and
she
smiled
gratefully
before
hopping
inside
the
car.
She
watched
Taeyeon
close
her
door
and
jog
her
way
to
the
drivers
side
before
getting
in
as
well.
Taeyeon
started
the
car
and
soon
enough,
they
were
on
their
way
to
the
venue.
It
was
a
quiet
ride.
One
was
thinking
about
her
competition
while
the
other
was
thinking
about
the
girl
beside
her.
Seriously?
We
arent
even
going
to
talk
about
it?
Were
just
going
to
pretend
like
nothing
happened?
Much
as
she
wanted
to
ask
Taeyeon
about
that
kiss,
she
was
scared
to
know
the
truth.
What
if
it
was
really
just
out
of
curiosity?
What
then?
What
will
happen
to
us
then?
She
was
so
busy
with
her
thoughts
that
she
didnt
hear
Taeyeon
calling
her
name.
Not
until
a
smooth
hand
came
in
contact
with
her
arm
did
she
snap
back
into
reality.
She
felt
a
tingly
sensation
within
her
as
she
looked
at
the
hand
and
traced
her
way
to
its
owners
face.
Are
you
okay?
She
felt
Taeyeon
squeeze
her
arm
a
little
before
letting
go.
She
nodded
but
was
a
little
disappointed
at
the
loss
of
contact.
Taeyeon
eyed
her
for
a
moment
as
if
seeing
if
she
was
really
okay
before
letting
out
a
smile.
Good
then.
Anyway,
were
here.
As
the
girl
gestured
at
the
building
in
front
of
them,
it
was
only
then
that
Tiffany
realized
that
the
engine
was
no
longer
on
and
that
Taeyeon
has
already
taken
the
keys
out
from
the
ignition.
Have
I
been
thinking
to
myself
that
long?
Mentally
shrugging,
she
picked
up
her
bag
from
the
car
floor
and
opened
the
door
to
go
out.
She
slung
her
bag
over
her
shoulder
before
closing
the
door.
She
waited
for
Taeyeon
to
lock
the
door
before
they
walked
side
by
side
to
enter
the
building.
They
walked
to
a
table
where
a
tall,
slender
girl
was
sitting
by.
Once
they
were
close
enough,
the
girl
looked
up
and
smiled
at
them
before
talking
to
Taeyeon.
Ms.
Kim?
Taeyeon
nodded.
Please
sign
here.
The
girl
gave
her
a
piece
of
paper
and
showed
her
where
to
sign.
Once
Taeyeon
was
done,
she
was
handed
two
IDs.
She
gave
one
to
Tiffany
and
put
on
the
other
one.
Tiffany
looked
at
her
ID
and
saw
that
it
was
labeled
with
Guest.
She
then
looked
at
Taeyeon
and
read
Participant.
They
were
directed
to
an
open
door
on
the
far
left
of
the
hall,
where
Tiffany
assumed
was
the
source
of
the
loud
music.
Tiffany
eyes
widened
in
amazement
at
the
sight.
It
was
almost
the
same
as
the
car
show
Taeyeon
brought
her
to
last
week,
but
it
was
also
different
at
the
same
time.
She
could
hear
the
loud
music
blasting
as
soon
as
she
stepped
foot
inside
the
large
room.
Different
colored
lights
were
dancing
their
way
to
every
part
of
the
huge
space.
People
were
everywhere
too.
Some
were
talking
among
themselves,
while
others
were
just
standing
there,
enjoying
themselves.
The
difference
was
that
the
room
gave
out
a
different
feel
like
a
more
competitive
feel.
She
then
remembered
Taeyeon
saying
that
she
joined
the
competition
and
the
difference
between
her
ID
and
Taeyeons.
Theres
a
competition?
Taeyeon
stopped
walking
and
looked
at
her.
Yeah,
there
is.
Its
just
to
see
who
fixed
up
their
cars
the
prettiest,
she
chuckled.
I
wanted
to
have
a
competition
in
my
first
car
show
too,
but
Dad
said
itd
be
too
much
to
handle.
Tiffany
nodded
and
nudged
Taeyeon
to
start
walking
again.
They
passed
by
some
awesome
looking
cars
and
Tiffany
felt
as
if
all
the
cars
she
saw
would
win.
They
all
looked
amazing!
Sometimes
shed
get
a
glimpse
of
a
cars
interior,
and
although
she
didnt
know
much
about
them,
they
still
look
pretty
to
her.
Taeyeon
suddenly
directed
her
attention
to
a
specific
car
across
the
room,
shining
under
the
spotlight
designated
for
it.
Tiffany
saw
and
instantly
gasped.
PINK!
She
all
but
dragged
the
grinning
Taeyeon
towards
the
car,
somehow
managing
to
dodge
the
other
guests.
She
squealed
and
jumped
in
delight
as
she
came
face
to
face
with
the
Pink
Audi
R8
GT.
Sure
she
didnt
know
the
model
she
only
saw
the
model
name
on
the
sign
beside
the
car
but
it
was
very
pretty.
And
its
pink!
PINK!
She
went
around
the
car,
admiring
every
inch
of
it.
The
bumper,
the
fender,
the
tires,
the
rims,
the
side
skirts
EVERYTHING.
OMG!
Who
owns
this?
I
want
to
congratulate
them
early
because
I
know
theyll
win!
Taeyeon
laughed
as
Tiffany
skipped
towards
her
with
a
wide
smile
plastered
on
her
face.
Once
Tiffany
was
finally
in
front
of
her,
she
pointed
to
the
sign
beside
the
car
the
same
sign
where
the
model
of
the
car
was
written.
Read
it.
Tiffany
did
as
she
was
told
and
her
jaw
dropped
when
she
read
the
owners
name
written
under
the
car
model.
She
turned
to
Taeyeon
with
her
mouth
still
open
in
shock.
C-car?
Y-yours?
Taeyeon
smiled
brightly
and
nodded.
She
walked
closer
to
the
still
surprised
girl.
You
were
right.
Pink
can
look
cool,
too.
Tiffany
was
still
looking
at
Taeyeon
with
wide
eyes.
Taeyeon
chuckled
then
suddenly
blushed.
She
cleared
her
throat
and
swallowed
before
saying,
I
figured
isnt
such
a
bad
color,
especially
since
its
your
favorite
color.
Tiffany
cannot
process
Taeyeons
words.
What
is
this
girl
saying?!
Looking
around,
Taeyeon
sighed
before
grabbing
Tiffanys
hand
and
pulling
her
to
a
less
noisy
but
not
really
much
quieter
part
of
the
room.
It
was
so
Taeyeon
can
be
assured
that
Tiffany
was
going
to
hear
every
word
she
was
going
to
say
next.
I
like
you.
Tiffanys
brain
has
shutdown.
Taeyeon
panicked
when
there
was
no
reaction
coming
from
Tiffany,
but
she
decided
to
continue
anyway.
It
was
now
or
never,
she
thought.
Tiffany,
I
like
you.
Ive
liked
you
since
her
reddened
face
couldnt
possibly
get
any
redder,
s-since
I
saw
the
picture
on
your
profile
on
Appas
office
desk
a
week
before
your
first
driving
class.
Picture?
Driving
class?
Tiffanys
mind
was
slowly
starting
to
reboot.
I-I
I
asked
Appa
if
I
can
teach
you
and
specifically
asked
him
and
Uncle
Hwang
not
to
tell
you
about
it,
so
I
think
they
made
it
look
like
Uncle
requested
for
me
instead.
She
winced,
expecting
probably
a
slap
to
the
face
or
punch
to
the
gut
not
that
Tiffany
was
that
violent.
When
none
came,
she
continued.
The
kiss
i-it
was
something
unexpected
but
I
didnt
regret
doing
it.
Just
as
Taeyeon
was
slowly
gaining
confidence,
Tiffany
finally
regained
herself
upon
the
mention
of
that
troublesome
kiss.
She
unconsciously
brought
her
hand
up
to
touch
her
lips,
as
if
trying
to
remember
how
it
felt
to
have
Taeyeons
lips
on
hers.
Taeyeon
couldnt
read
the
expression
on
Tiffanys
face.
She
was
beginning
to
feel
scared.
Scared
of
the
reaction
she
might
get.
I
took
a
week
leave
from
the
company
because
I
wanted
to
surprise
you
with
that
car.
Tiffanys
face
suddenly
darkened
the
complete
opposite
of
what
Taeyeon
was
expecting.
Yah!
A
hit
to
the
shoulder.
You
made
me
almost
kill
a
lot
of
people
this
week!
Taeyeon
felt
elated
when
Tiffany
finally
spoke
but
was
a
bit
confused.
How
did
I
do
that?
You
made
me
distracted!
I
was
wondering
where
you
were
and
why
you
suddenly
vanished
after
that
kiss!
Tiffany
said,
unconsciously
blurting
out
her
worries.
The
shorter
girl
felt
a
boost
of
confidence.
She
grinned.
Sorry.
I
never
wanted
to
worry
you
but
I
couldnt
tell
you
what
I
was
up
to.
Tiffany
nodded
then
remembered
something.
But
Tae,
your
car
might
not
win
if
its
pink.
I
mean,
of
course
it
looks
cooler
than
any
other
car
in
here,
but
thats
just
my
opinion.
What
if
the
judges
think
that
having
a
pink
car
isnt
really
worth
giving
a
trophy
and
prize
to?
Taeyeon
smiled
and
went
closer
to
her
before
gently
grabbing
her
hands.
Its
okay
as
long
as
I
can
get
the
girl.
Tiffany
frowned.
Girl?
Oh
come
on,
you
just
confessed
and
now
you
want
to
win
another
girl?
What
kind
of
car
show
is
this
anyway?
Girls
as
prizes?
Tsk!
The
shorter
girl
laughed
at
Tiffanys
face.
She
smoothened
out
the
frown
from
the
other
girls
face
and
said,
What
I
mean
to
say
is
that
its
okay
if
I
dont
win
this
car
show
as
long
as
I
can
win
your
heart.
Tiffany
stared
at
the
flushed
Taeyeon
in
disbelief.
I
know
weve
only
met
two
weeks
ago
and
thats
fast
by
anyones
standards,
Taeyeon
chuckled
nervously,
and
this
probably
isnt
the
sweetest
confession
youve
received,
but
what
Im
telling
you
is
the
truth.
My
heart
flutters
when
Im
with
you
and
it
aches
when
youre
away.
She
almost
cringed
at
her
cheesiness.
This
whole
week
that
we
havent
seen
each
other
has
been
the
hardest
for
me.
She
breathed
deeply
before
continuing.
Its
not
about
the
amount
of
time
weve
spent
together,
but
the
feeling
that
I
get
when
Im
with
you.
Hwang
Miyoung,
she
grinned
when
Tiffany
scowled,
will
you
be
my
girlfriend?
G-girlfriend?
Omo.
She
mentally
did
a
victory
dance.
It
took
her
awhile
to
answer
for
she
was
thinking
of
what
to
say.
When
she
figured
words
might
fail
her
because
her
brain
crashed
again
she
did
the
next
best
thing
she
could
think
of.
She
launched
herself
onto
Taeyeon
and
gave
the
girl
a
sweet,
deep
kiss
as
an
answer.
Both
smiled
into
the
kiss
and
have
completely
forgotten
about
the
car
show.
Epilogue
Taeyeon.
She
looked
up
from
her
computer
and
saw
her
father
standing
by
her
office
door.
Yeah,
Dad?
A
new
applicant
came
in
today.
I
want
you
to
personally
interview
her
and
test
her
skills
to
see
if
shes
fit
to
teach.
Me?
Interview?
It
wasnt
the
first
time
someone
came
in
for
an
interview,
of
course,
but
being
the
COO
child
of
the
owner
and
the
Vice
President,
she
was
never
asked
to
conduct
an
interview
and
a
test.
They
had
Human
Resources
for
that,
didnt
they?
Which
is
why
she
found
it
weird
that
her
father
the
CEO,
no
less
had
specifically
asked
her
himself
to
conduct
it.
Yes.
Now
get
up
from
there
and
do
the
interview.
The
applicants
in
conference
room
#2.
Be
nice,
but
not
too
nice,
understand?
She
nodded
and
watched
him
leave.
Be
nice
but
no
too
nice?
What
does
that
even
mean?
She
mumbled
to
herself
before
switching
her
computer
off
and
heading
towards
the
conference
room
for
that
interview.
-
She
opened
the
door
to
the
room
and
found
herself
staring
at
the
back
of
a
familiar
figure.
Ah,
now
I
understand.
She
didnt
even
have
to
make
the
girl
face
her
to
know
who
she
was.
Deciding
to
be
professional,
she
straightened
her
clothes
and
clutched
the
files
she
was
holding
tightly
before
walking
to
the
other
side
of
the
long
table
and
pulling
out
a
chair.
The
second
she
was
seated
and
faced
the
girl,
she
was
instantly
welcomed
by
a
breathtaking
eye-smile,
one
that
wouldve
prompted
her
to
kiss
the
owner
senselessly
if
not
for
the
serious
atmosphere
she
was
trying
to
create.
She
cleared
her
throat.
Ms.
Hwang?
Probably
sensing
the
seriousness
she
was
trying
to
maintain,
Tiffany
sat
up
straight
and
wiped
the
smile
off
her
face.
Yes.
Lets
start
with
the
interview,
shall
we?
Tiffany
nodded
and
the
interview
began.
-
The
interview
went
fairly
well
if
one
were
to
ask
Tiffany.
Of
course,
she
did
have
those
moments
wherein
she
would
just
blankly
stare
at
Taeyeons
serious
face
which
she
found
extremely
hot
and
sexy
but
other
than
that,
she
did
just
fine.
Now
they
were
heading
towards
the
parking
lot
for
her
skills
test.
She
was
to
be
tested
of
her
driving
skills
as
well
as
her
ability
to
teach
properly
and
effectively.
She
was
confident
shed
be
able
to
pass
with
flying
colors,
especially
since
her
number
one
inspiration
was
walking
side
by
side
with
her.
Okay,
Ms.
Hwang.
Its
time
for
your
test.
She
nodded
in
response
as
she
motioned
for
Taeyeon
to
go
inside
the
car
through
the
passengers
side.
Her
test
began
shortly
after.
-
She
put
the
car
on
break
and
glanced
nervously
at
Taeyeon
who
was
busy
scribbling
something
on
a
piece
of
paper.
She
was
done
with
the
test
and
was
positive
that
she
did
well
but
seeing
Taeyeons
expressionless
face
made
her
fidgety.
Alright.
Thats
the
end
of
it,
Ms.
Hwang.
Please
wait
for
our
call
by
the
end
of
this
week
to
know
if
you
got
the
job
or
not.
Thank
you.
She
went
out
of
the
car
as
Taeyeon
did
the
same.
The
older
girl
was
waiting
for
her
by
the
rear
of
the
car.
Taeyeon
held
out
a
hand
to
her
and
she
did
the
same
as
they
shook
hands
and
exchanged
smiles.
-
She
didnt
let
go
of
the
hand
immediately.
Instead,
she
pulled
it,
making
Tiffany
stumble
forward
towards
her.
She
finally
let
go
of
the
hand
and
slid
both
her
arms
around
the
girls
waist,
engulfing
Tiffany
in
a
hug.
Feeling
the
girl
relax
in
her
hold,
she
pulled
away
just
a
little
and
gave
Tiffany
a
couple
of
pecks
on
the
lips.
You
did
a
good
job.
Ill
see
you
at
home.
She
gave
Tiffany
a
final
peck
before
letting
her
go.
-
Im
home,
she
said
softly
as
she
threw
her
bag
on
the
sofa
and
took
off
her
jacket.
She
placed
it
beside
her
bag
and
went
to
the
room
after
receiving
no
response
from
her
lover.
She
walked
inside
to
see
Taeyeon
sitting
up
on
the
bed
with
her
eyes
closed
and
mouth
slightly
opened.
The
girl
was
wearing
her
glasses
and
her
laptop
was
resting
on
her
lap.
A
bunch
of
papers
were
surrounding
her,
making
Tiffany
come
to
the
conclusion
that
the
girl
was
working
before
falling
asleep.
Tiffany
chuckled
and
shook
her
head.
She
went
to
their
walk-in
closet
to
get
a
fresh
change
of
clothes
before
heading
to
the
bathroom
for
a
quick
shower.
Fresh
and
clean
from
the
bathroom,
she
headed
to
Taeyeons
side
of
the
bed
and
put
the
laptop
aside
before
gathering
all
the
papers
and
setting
them
on
top
of
Taeyeons
table.
She
took
off
the
girls
glasses
and
patted
her
cheeks
softly.
Taeyeon,
she
cooed.
Taeyeon
stirred
and
closed
her
mouth,
only
to
go
back
to
sleep.
Tiffany
smiled
and
tried
again.
Taeyeon-ah,
wake
up.
The
only
response
she
got
was
a
soft
snore.
She
stifled
a
laugh.
She
decided
to
use
a
different
method.
She
climbed
the
bed
and
straddled
the
sleeping
girl
before
leaning
forward
and
planting
a
soft
kiss
on
Taeyeons
nose.
She
watched
as
Taeyeons
nose
twitched
and
repeated
it
a
couple
of
times
before
finally
hearing
the
older
girl
groan.
She
sat
back
as
she
felt
Taeyeons
hands
on
the
soft
of
her
back
and
knew
that
the
girl
wasnt
in
deep
sleep
anymore.
She
smiled
and
leaned
forward
again
to
place
a
chaste
kiss
on
Taeyeons
lips.
She
was
about
to
pull
away
when
she
felt
one
of
Taeyeons
hands
behind
her
neck,
preventing
her
from
doing
so.
Taeyeon
then
started
kissing
her
back,
tugging
and
pulling
on
her
lower
lip
as
she
prevented
the
formation
of
another
wider
smile.
She
pushed
Taeyeon
by
the
shoulder
and
watched
as
the
older
girl
opened
her
eyes
slowly.
Taeyeon
pouted
and
frowned.
More,
please.
She
laughed
softly
before
getting
off
the
girl
to
lie
beside
her
instead.
Taeyeon
followed
suit
and
they
were
now
on
their
sides
facing
each
other.
I
only
woke
you
up
to
tell
you
to
lie
down
properly.
I
know
youre
tired,
so
sleep.
She
brought
one
of
her
arms
up
to
rest
it
on
Taeyeons
waist.
Im
not
that
tired!
Taeyeon
tried
to
say
but
failed
when
a
yawn
followed
straight
after.
Tiffany
chuckled.
You
are.
Taeyeon
finally
gave
up.
Okay,
I
am.
She
moved
closer
to
Tiffany
and
placed
one
arm
under
Tiffanys
neck
while
the
other
circled
the
girls
waist.
Im
sorry
for
not
picking
you
up
earlier.
I
didnt
notice
the
time
and
I
kinda
fell
asleep.
Its
fine.
Tiffany
leaned
forward
to
kiss
Taeyeon.
I
know
you
were
doing
a
lot
of
things
for
your
next
project.
I
understand.
Taeyeon
smiled.
How
was
work?
Besides
being
boring
without
you
there?
That
earned
her
a
laugh
from
her
lover.
It
was
fine.
A
couple
of
new
students,
but
they
were
fast
learners.
Thats
cause
youre
a
great
teacher.
Because
you
were
the
one
who
taught
me.
Well,
duh.
Tiffany
pinched
her
waist
but
didnt
say
anything.
Taeyeon
chuckled.
They
laid
there,
holding
each
other
in
silence
until
Tiffany
heard
the
slow
and
soft
breathing
coming
from
the
person
beside
her.
She
kissed
Taeyeons
forehead
before
following
her
to
dream
land.
-
A
knock
on
the
door
was
heard
and
she
looked
up
to
see
Tiffany
smiling
at
her
while
holding
up
and
paper
bag.
Hi.
Busy?
She
smiled.
Not
for
you.
Come
in.
Tiffany
did
as
she
was
told
before
walking
to
her
lovers
desk
and
placing
the
paper
bag
on
top.
She
leaned
forward
to
peck
Taeyeons
lips
then
sat
down
on
one
of
the
chairs.
Brought
you
lunch.
Figured
youd
stay
cooped
up
in
here
if
I
dont
bring
it.
Taeyeon
laughed.
I
was
actually
thinking
of
buying
a
sandwich
later
but
you
beat
me
to
it.
Thanks.
No
problem.
Eat
it
now.
Im
sure
you
still
have
a
lot
of
things
to
do.
Arent
you
eating
with
me?
Taeyeon
asked
when
she
saw
that
there
was
only
one
sandwich
and
one
cup
of
drink
inside
the
bag.
Tiffany
shook
her
head.
Took
an
early
lunch.
I
have
a
class
in
thirty
minutes
and
I
dont
want
to
be
late
nor
do
I
want
to
smell
like
food
when
I
teach
especially
if
its
a
new
student.
Taeyeon
swallowed
and
laughed.
Ah,
another
new
student?
Youre
getting
popular
these
days,
Ms.
Hwang,
she
teased.
You
bet
I
am,
which
is
why
I
dont
want
to
ruin
the
students
impression
of
me.
No
matter.
Eat
lunch
five
minutes
before
and
youd
still
smell
like
you
came
right
out
of
the
shower.
Taeyeon
grinned.
Tiffany
laughed.
Youre
hopeless.
She
stood
up.
I
better
go
now.
Still
need
to
talk
to
Yoora
unnie
about
that
new
student
and
the
car
were
using.
Ill
see
you
later
okay?
She
walked
around
the
table
to
give
Taeyeon
a
hug
and
a
kiss
before
walking
out
of
the
room.
-
Tiffany?
I
bought
food.
She
kicked
off
her
shoes
and
placed
the
paper
bag
she
brought
on
the
dining
table.
She
made
her
way
to
their
shared
bedroom
and
found
it
empty.
She
was
about
to
walk
out
and
look
for
Tiffany
when
the
bathroom
door
swung
open,
revealing
Tiffany
only
in
a
towel.
She
grinned
mischievously
as
she
strode
her
way
to
her
freshly
showered
girlfriend.
She
wrapped
her
arms
around
Tiffanys
waist
and
brought
her
closer.
Hey,
youre
home,
Tiffany
said
as
she
relaxed
in
Taeyeons
hold
and
returned
the
hug.
Yeah,
I
brought
us
dinner
too.
Im
sorry
for
coming
home
late.
She
let
her
head
rest
on
Tiffanys
shoulder
before
swinging
their
bodies
side
to
side.
Dont
worry
about
it.
Its
fine.
Tiffanys
fingers
then
expertly
moved
to
massage
her
nape.
They
stayed
that
way
until
Tiffany
pulled
away.
Its
cold,
I
need
to
change.
Actually,
you
dont
have
to
get
dressed.
She
winked.
Tiffany
laughed.
Ew.
Not
gonna
happen.
Maybe
after
Im
full
but
only
then.
Taeyeon
pouted.
Fine.
Now,
be
a
dear
and
fix
the
table.
Tiffany
went
in
their
walk-in
closet
and
she
followed
stealthily.
She
stayed
by
the
doorframe
and
watched
as
her
girlfriend
rummaged
her
side
of
the
closet
for
a
fresh
set
of
clothes.
Tiffany
was
about
to
untie
the
knot
of
the
towel
covering
her
body
when
she
felt
something
strange.
Looking
back,
she
saw
Taeyeon
watching
her
every
move.
Yah!
What?
Taeyeon
tried
to
put
on
her
most
innocent
look.
This
is
not
a
free
show,
byuntae.
Tiffany
turned
her
around
and
pushed
her
out.
Taeyeon
groaned.
Its
not
like
theres
something
I
havent
seen
before.
Yah!
Taeyeon
gave
her
a
final
push
out
the
bedroom
before
slamming
the
door,
effectively
hiding
her
pink
cheeks.
Taeyeon
chuckled
and
shook
her
head
before
making
her
way
to
the
kitchen.
She
liked
it.
She
liked
how
they
were
right
now.
She
smiled
to
herself
and
prepared
the
table.
-
She
strolled
out
of
her
office
just
in
time
for
lunch.
She
headed
towards
the
room
for
the
instructors
in
hope
to
find
her
girlfriend
and
eat
lunch
with
her.
It
was
one
of
those
few
times
that
she
could
actually
go
out
for
lunch,
since
she
was
swamped
with
meetings
and
paperworks,
and
she
didnt
have
to
think
twice
to
decide
to
have
it
with
her
girlfriend.
She
knocked
on
the
door
and
after
hearing
footsteps
from
behind;
it
opened,
revealing
one
of
the
senior
instructors.
She
bowed
and
greeted
him.
Hi,
Samchon.
Is
Tiffany
there?
The
man
bowed
as
well.
Hello
there,
Taeyeon-ah.
Oh,
Tiffany?
He
looked
back
and
tried
looking
for
the
girl.
Nope,
I
dont
see
her
here.
She
must
still
be
in
a
class,
but
it
should
be
over
by
now
so
maybe
you
can
wait
for
her
inside.
Shaking
her
head.
No
its
okay,
Samchon.
Ill
just
wait
for
her
by
the
entrance
since
I
need
to
talk
to
Minwoo
oppa
too.
The
man
nodded.
Alright
then.
See
you,
Taeyeon.
Taeyeon
thanked
him
before
knocking
into
another
door
just
a
few
steps
from
the
entrance.
The
door
opened
and
she
busied
herself
with
talking
to
the
man
standing
before
her.
Not
long
after,
the
entrance
doors
slid
open
and
in
came
Tiffany
with
an
unfamiliar
guy
who
Taeyeon
believed
was
also
their
age.
Hurriedly
saying
goodbye
to
her
Minwoo
oppa,
she
fastened
her
pace
when
she
saw
Tiffany
slap
the
guys
arm
lightly.
Tiffany!
Tiffany
looked
back
and
smiled
widely
when
she
saw
Taeyeon
coming
towards
her.
Hey.
She
greeted
the
panting
girl.
Hi.
Taeyeon
answered,
completely
ignoring
the
guy
beside
her
girlfriend.
Lunch?
Sure!
Tiffany
answered
happily.
Taeyeon
saw
the
guys
face
fall
and
smirked
inwardly.
Oh,
by
the
way,
Taeyeon,
this
is
Jinho.
Tiffany
then
faced
the
guy.
Jinho,
this
is
Taeyeon.
Taeyeon
saw
the
guy
eyeing
her
from
head
to
toe.
She
eyed
him
as
well.
She
held
out
a
hand.
Nice
meeting
you,
Jinho.
Taeyeon.
Kim
Taeyeon.
She
made
sure
to
stress
her
last
name
although
she
did
suddenly
remember
that
Kim
was
a
very
common
last
name
in
Korea
so
she
had
to
add,
The
Vice
President
of
the
company.
Jinhos
firm
stance
from
before
falter
a
bit
and
she
caught
it.
She
smirked.
Tiffany,
knowing
fully
well
why
Taeyeon
did
that,
only
rolled
her
eyes.
Anyway,
Ill
see
you
tomorrow,
Jinho?
Come
on,
Tae.
She
smiled
at
the
guy
before
linking
her
arm
with
her
girlfriends
and
dragged
the
smirking
girl
out
of
the
building.
-
I
know
what
you
did
back
there,
and
it
wasnt
nice,
Taeyeon,
Tiffany
told
her
girlfriend
as
they
made
their
way
inside
a
restaurant
hand-in-hand.
Huh?
Back
where?
Tiffany
rolled
her
eyes.
Back
at
the
company.
With
Jinho.
The
guys
just
my
student.
Theres
seriously
nothing
to
be
worried
about.
She
pushed
the
girl
to
sit
down
before
taking
the
seat
beside
her.
It
was
Taeyeons
turn
to
roll
her
eyes.
You
should
have
seen
how
he
looked
at
you
like
a
predator
to
a
prey.
I
had
to
show
him
whos
boss.
You
shouldve
seen
his
face.
She
laughed.
Tiffany
shook
her
head
but
smiled.
It
was
nice
seeing
Taeyeon
get
all
worked
up
because
of
her
jealousy.
Yeah,
youre
the
boss
alright.
I
think
he
got
the
message.
She
leaned
and
planted
a
kiss
on
Taeyeons
cheek.
He
better!
Taeyeon
exclaimed.
-
It
was,
again,
one
of
those
days
when
Taeyeon
had
no
lunch
meetings
and
no
mountains
of
paperwork
to
do.
She
grabbed
her
bag
and
walked
out
of
her
office
just
in
time
to
see
Tiffany
walking
in
the
building
with
Jinho.
Jinho
saw
her
approaching
and
had
a
smirk
on
his
face.
Hey,
Tiffany,
he
said
loudly
as
Taeyeon
drew
nearer,
want
to
come
have
lunch
with
me?
My
treat?
He
grinned
then
flashed
a
charming
smile
that
could
probably
make
any
woman
fall
for
him
any
woman,
that
is,
except
Taeyeon.
And
Tiffany.
Tiffany
saw
right
through
him
and
was
about
to
reject
his
offer
when
Taeyeon
stood
beside
her
and
held
her
hand.
So,
I
was
thinking.
Maybe
I
could
treat
you
for
lunch?
Just
a
little
thanks
for
being
such
a
good
teacher.
Taeyeon
rolled
her
eyes.
Sorry,
Chunghae,
but
I
already
have
plans
with
someone
else.
Oh,
who?
Me.
Taeyeon
stepped
in
between
them.
Hi,
Im
Kim
Taeyeon.
VP
of
the
company.
Oh,
hi
Ms.
Tae
Im
also
Tiffanys
fianc.
We
have
a
date
right
now,
so
if
you
will
excuse
us.
She
grabbed
Tiffanys
hand
and
dragged
her
away
before
the
poor
guy
could
even
say
anything.
Looking
back,
Tiffany
managed
to
give
him
a
smile
and
a
wave
using
her
ringed
hand.
