Mi young's POV

The next day, lunch time in the canteen.

I was sitting next to Taeyeon while Stephanie was in front of us. She looked really happy right now while we're eating our lunch.

Taeyeon was just focused on her meal, I kept glancing at her. I don't like the silent treatment.

"Um... H-how's your date last night?" I asked.

Taeyeon looked at me in disbelief and sighed "It's fine, just a friendly date."

"Are you still mad?"

"I'm not mad Mi young, I know that you're not ready and I'm not forcing you." She just care about me, not what she feels.

Then Roxanne spoke on the stage with mic. Yeah, there's improvised stage here in the canteen. I don't know if there's even here or whatever.

"Good afternoon everyone! Maybe y'all wondering why we have a stage here right?"

Some people nodded.

"We have stage here because someone will serenade us!" She squealed.

I rolled my eyes, I don't care about this. I want to have quality time with Taeyeon. I want to talk to her.

"She will serenade us and dedicated that song to her special someone," Roxanne announced.

I noticed that Taeyeon froze, her mouth was slightly opened while looking shocked at Roxanne.

"Oh no..." I heard her mumbled.

"Let's welcome to stage! Miss Kim Taeyeon!" Roxanne cheerfully said.

The people in the canteen gave her a round of applause. Taeyeon was shaking her head while smiling sheepishly.

"Oh come on Taeyeonie! I made this for you. Come on, just one song. The one you told me last night! Please..." Roxanne requested.

Taeyeon stood up as she drew in a long breath, she glanced at me before going to stage.

What's going on?

Taeyeon took the mic from Roxanne and they chatted for few moments then Roxanne briefly hugged my Tae. I scoffed, why did she need to be touchy with my girlfriend?

Now, everybody's attention was on Taeyeon and she's holding the mic.

"Whew... so, this is so unexpected. Uh... I will sing... I guess... Yeah..." She said while scratching her head.

Taeyeon sighed heavily and she looked at me "Okay, I will dedicate this song to my special someone. Yeah, it's a girl. You can call me whatever you want... a lesbian, bisexual or even a dyke but it wasn't I am. I don't care if you're talking behind my back but I'm just being me. You can mock me or humiliate me, it's okay... but this is me. I just love a girl but only one girl."

She said not breaking our eye contact, my tears were threatening to fall. How could I be so blind? I'm so stupid to deny her.

"Being lesbian or whatever it is doesn't define my personality because actually, I'm not into girls. It just happened that I love her, that I followed my heart. I will wait her and I will never force her to me because I love her. This song is dedicated for her." Taeyeon cleared her throat.

Then the music started. (I need you by K. Will)

Even if a year passes, if ten years pass, I am the same
I'm a person who didn't forget even for a single day
It needs to be you, you are my love
I can't go on without you, I need you...

I couldn't take it anymore but to cry, gosh, she has a beautiful angelic voice. I could feel every word that she sing as her eyes never leave mine.

I was happy to hear your voice for the first time in a year
When you said you missed me, tears kept falling
Did you hurt as much as I did too?  

I missed you too Taeyeon, it hurts me to see you like this. I'm sorry if I'm coward bitch, I always hurt you.

I need you, I need you
Even if a year passes, if ten years pass, I am the same
I'm a person who didn't forget even for a single day
It needs to be you, you are my love
I can't go on without you, I need you  

I need you more, you don't know how much I need you to know that I'm ready. I'm ready to face the world with you. I want them to know that you are mine and I am yours. I'm sorry Tae, I'm sorry for everything.

I will run to you now and hold you in my arms
I'm running out of breath, I will shout till it overflows

I need you, I need you
A hundred times, a thousand times, I will love you
I won't ever let you go again
I won't leave you because you are my love
I will promise you that I will love you forever till I die

I love you so much Kim Taeyeon, I wiped my tears and stood up to give her a round of applause as people here did the same. They felt the song as Taeyeon delivered it so great, indeed, she's really good in singing. 

"I love you so much... always remember that..." Taeyeon was about to go down of the stage but I ran to her.

I walked up at the stage and took the mic from her.

"Who's the lucky girl you're talking about?"

Taeyeon gave me a confused look.

"Is that song for me?" I blurted out.

People began to murmur things, I don't care.

"Mi Young..." Taeyeon mumbled.

I nodded and gave the microphone to her "I... I dedicated that song... for you Mi young."

Then I took the mic again "Did you hear that?" I asked as I looked around the crowd.

"Kim Taeyeon dedicated that for me," I cockily said. "And I want y'all to know that Taeyeon is not my best friend anymore because of that." I glanced at Taeyeon and she frowned.

"Kim Taeyeon here... is my girlfriend." 

Stephanie shouted "Whooohooo! That's my girl, Mi young! Go for it! Whooo! Yeah!" I guess, she's really happy today.

"Thank you Steph," I smiled at her.

"You heard it right and clear, Taeyeon is my girlfriend." I reiterated and looked back at Taeyeon, she's crying. My heart melted as I gingerly wiped her tears.

"Don't cry love, I just want them to know how much I love you and you are mine." I giggled.

Some chuckled and some whistled.

"I will also take this opportunity to say this things... So please listen to me." Then I took a sharp breath.

"First, I want to thank you for giving me so much love when I am undeserving. For your forgiveness when I make mistakes and hurt you with my harsh words and actions. For your untiring faithfulness to our relationship. You have taught me so much about tenderness and unconditional love, even when it is hard to give." I kissed Taeyeon's forehead.

"Our relationship is my most precious possession, and I will take this love with me everywhere I go. I loved you the minute our eyes first met. If you remember that, we're just little kids that time. You even promised me that when we grow old, you'll ask me to be your girlfriend. And you did it," Taeyeon smiled and nodded then I kissed her nose.

 "I love you deeply, and I always will. Remember that, Kim Taeyeon." With that, I finished my long speech.

"And I love you so much more Hwang Mi young... I will always will."

Then I kissed Taeyeon on lips and I heard everybody shouted like we won in a competition as they clapped their hands.

This feeling was so good.

No hiding.

No denying.

No torturing.

I feel free and all the guilty feelings were gone.

Accepting yourself first is the most difficult to overcome because if you denied yourself, you will never be accepted or even out to others.

But if you accept yourself, the whole world will accept you as well.

The End.

*****
