SP XII - Losing
Taeyeon hastily wiped her tears but it kept streaming down "No I won't give up!" She snorted. "I love her and I need to win her back! I can do it!" She said with her perky but groggy voice.
Taeyeon smiled at her own cheer and she sorta felt better. Again she gave the place a once over as her eyes landed on the couch she was sitting, she noticed something underneath the pillow and took it. "It was Tiffany's phone! She went here!" Taeyeon shouted inside her mind and the corner of her mouth quirked up but Tiffany's phone was low batt. Duh.. -_- But where would Tiffany go? Taeyeon could sense that she's on the right track though.
Taeyeon tried to think deeply "Where are you?" She bit her nails while she jiggled her foot "Where? Where? Where will you go Pani?" Taeyeon stood up and she walked around then loomed closer to the upright piano. She looked at the picture there, it's still there, she was with Taehyung. Then she stared at her brother "Taehyung oppa, where is she now huh? Please help me. Can you give me a clue my brotha?" She chuckled.
Taeyeon just stared at the picture then a light bulb popped up in her head "Right! Maybe she's there!" She shrieked and scrutinized the picture, it was taken in her hometown "Jeonju..." She remembered that Tiffany was so excited to go there "Thank you Taehyung oppa.. Wish me luck!" This time she felt and she was sure that Tiffany was in Jeonju right now. Sighed, I hope so!
Taeyeon grabbed her stuffs as well as Tiffany's phone then she rushed out. She was so excited to see Tiffany. But what if it's just random thought of her? In spite of that, Taeyeon made up her mind and prepared herself for the consequences of her idea, she will go to Jeonju no matter what. She will stake her last hope for this.
Taeyeon drove 121 miles for almost three hours just to go in Jeonju, she just listened to her instinct and she was full of hope that this time she's right. She arrived there almost 5 pm.
First, she went to the hotel where she as Taehyung made reservation last three years ago and asked the receptionist if there's Hwang Tiffany that checked in. Unfortunately, there's none.
Then she went at the ahjumma eatery but Tiffany wasn't there. Nayeon saw her and was calling her but she just ignored it because all that matters to her was to find Tiffany. It's her priority for now.
She went to the Hanok Village, she strolled her car there but there's no sign of Tiffany. She was tired and again, she was losing hope that she will see Tiffany there. Well, that's very random and why would Tiffany go there? She don't have any friends and relatives in Jeonju. But Taeyeon motivated herself, she knows that her love was just near somewhere.
Taeyeon headed on her parents' grave, she saw flowers there, and her features brightened "Pani ah? You came here?" She squatted and stared at her parents' grave "Mom, dad? Did Tiffany come here? Did you see her?" Then the wind blew a little hard and it was like dancing around as the leaves flew in the air with circular motion "Is that a yes... Or no?" She forcefully shut her eyes and her chest rose then fell rapidly.
"Jeondong..." Taeyeon suddenly murmured "Mom, dad.. Is she there?" Then the wind blew with much more force again "I'll take that as yes, thank you eomma, appa!" She stood up and bowed 90 degrees "I gotta go, I love you both!" Then she ran towards her car.
Taeyeon was driving again and she was on her way to Jeondong Cathedral, she remembered how much she prayed for Tiffany and realized that she really loves the girl. She sped up because she was so eager and impatient to go there.
After half hour, she arrived at Jeondong it was already dark outside, the exact time was 6:57 pm. She quickly went out of the car and ran, she entered the church and she was panting. There was a girl sitting in front, it was like Tiffany's back.
Taeyeon's heart was pounding and her eyes welled up. She slowly walked to the front and drew nearer to the girl.
"Pani ah.." She whispered.
Taeyeon tried to look up to stop her tears but still, it escaped in her eyes. She was happy and thanked God that she found her love?
Taeyeon held the girl's shoulder "Tiffany?" She called.
The girl looked up to her and she froze. It's not Tiffany!
"I'm sorry but... I'm not Tiffany miss," the girl said.
Taeyeon stepped back but her knees became weak as she lost her balance and sat on the long pew, she supported her body by her hands. The girl tried to help her too as she stepped nearer to the blonde.
"Are you okay miss?" The girl asked and she looked worried.
Taeyeon didn't answer, she felt that heart was skipping beats and she unconsciously held her breath. Everything that happens were in slow motion as she heard the girl like in very slow echos.
"I-I'm ok-kay," Taeyeon managed to answer as she let out a sharp breath.
The girl leaned much closer to her, Taeyeon stared at her and she actually looks like Tiffany. The blonde's eyebrows furrowed and her mouth gaped. She's beautiful heheh...
"Are you sure miss?" The girl asked again with concern in her tone.
Taeyeon nodded as she sat properly.
"Anyway, the name is Irene. And you?" Irene smiled offering her hand to shake.
Taeyeon shook their hands briefly "I'm Taeyeon."
"Nice to meet you Taeyeon. Hmm..." Irene bit her lower lip. "What are you doing here? It's already late," Irene asked politely.
"I went here because I thought that my love was here but..." Taeyeon trailed off and shook her head "She's not here." She don't care of what will Irene think about her when she said that her love was SHE and not HE.
"Now you know that she's not here, are you going to give up?" Irene asked more personal but she didn't care.
Taeyeon raised her eyebrows and gazed at the girl "What if she don't want to see me? I know that she probably hate me because I lied to her."
"Then what if yes, she don't want to see you and she really hates you. What will you do?" Irene asked again and Taeyeon realized her point.
"Then I will let her go, I will not bother her anymore... And I will not force her to forgive me," Taeyeon hung her head down.
"Don't give up if you really love her, I bet she will forgive you if she really loves you. We're just human we make mistakes and if she can't forgive you because you did something wrong, maybe she's not the one for you," Irene stated, it was rational though.
Taeyeon smiled at her statement.
"So don't give up unless you heard it from her then you need to stop. Anyway... Fighting!" Irene cheerfully said.
Taeyeon chuckled "Thank you Irene," she felt better and alive. "And how about you? Why are you here?"
"I'm praying, it's one of my hobbies. And... I'm a nun here," Irene smiled and she stood up. "So I'll pray for you Taeyeon," she turned her gazed at the blonde.
"Ohh..." "Are all nun here beautiful like this lady? She's not dress like a nun so it didn't cross my mind that she is. She's so beautiful like my Tiffany and she's not against us," Taeyeon thought.
Irene gave her toothy smile and Taeyeon gaped, and there's an invincible drools on her mouth. She was astonished by Irene's beauty.
"I need to go Taeyeon, keep fighting for your love!" Irene bowed at her.
"O-okay thank you s-sister," Taeyeon stood up and bowed also at Irene.
Irene walked towards the main door of the church as Taeyeon watched her, Irene was very feminine. Just in time, she noticed a girl that was sitting on the last row of long pew and the girl stood up. Taeyeon widened her eyes as she slowly stood up.
The girl walked towards the blonde, Taeyeon gulped hard and she froze at her position.
The girl was wearing white dress like a bride, she was like walking down the aisle and Taeyeon was the groom waiting for her.
Everything went in slow motion again around them but this time it feels perfect for Taeyeon, Tiffany was finally there walking near to her with the sparked in her eyes.
Tiffany stopped in front of her and Taeyeon was just gazing at her with her teary eyes.
"You're here Pani..." Taeyeon said the obvious thing.
Then Tiffany gently held Taeyeon's cheek up to her ear and she pulled the blonde's ear, just lightly, and twisted it.
Taeyeon's face screwed up in pain "Ahh! Ah! Pani! Aww! It hurts!"
Tiffany immediately let go of Taeyeon's ear and glared at the blonde, the latter caressed her ear while pouting.
"So... You look happy flirting with that girl huh?" Tiffany said with the hint of jealousy in her tone "Why? Because she's beautiful?"
"Yes she's beautiful and..." Taeyeon trailed off as she wanted to make Tiffany more jealous.
"What??" Tiffany easily fumed and a line appeared between her brows.
"And she's a nun here, sister Irene," Taeyeon continued then smirked.
Tiffany's face became calm but it was too calm that Taeyeon can't read her.
"Pani ah.."
Tiffany was just looking at Taeyeon, expressionless.
"I'm sorry Pani... I swear I'm planning to say the truth to you, I'm just preparing myself. I'm sorry and I missed you," Taeyeon quickly said as she held Tiffany's cheeks.
Tiffany squeezed her eyes shut.
"I know you're mad, I will not force you to forgive me but I'm really happy because I see you here," Taeyeon stared at Tiffany's face while fondling the girl's cheeks. "You're so beautiful as ever."
Tiffany opened her eyes and it were glossy.
"If you hate me and if you don't want to see me, just say it and..." Taeyeon paused. "I'll leave," she softly said with her frail features.
"I already knew it Tae, I'm just waiting for you to say it to me but Nick ruined it."
Taeyeon has her 'questioning look' while her mouth fell open.
"I think you're not hiding it because you let anyone to eavesdrop on your conversation with Yuri like Nickhun did, you're not really cautious about it. Remember when you saw me outside your office? I heard everything Taeyeon, loud and clear that you are the Taehyung I love back then," Tiffany finally smiled. "At first I was shocked of course... but I just played it cool. Each day, I noticed that you're the same as him. You are exactly the same as Taehyung, and I'm convinced that you and Taehyung that I know are just one."
"....."
"And I also noticed this," Tiffany held Taeyeon's necklace with key pendant. "You always wear it. So do I," she showed Taeyeon the necklace with lock pendant she's wearing around her neck.
"Yes I always wear it, I thought you already forgot."
"Nope, I will never forget this cuz I'm the one who gave it to you Tae"
"But i-if you know al-already, why d-didn't you tell me? Do you, do you h-hate me?" Taeyeon stammered.
Tiffany shook her head "I can't hate you Tae, I can't..."
Guys I gave hints that Tiffany already knew it when Taeyeon saw her with serious face in front of the door of Taeyeon's office then when Tiffany called her Tae. Ah! Also when she said that she thought Taeyeon will leave her again in the airport. Maybe some of you guessed that! Then I'll give you high five!
"I just went here to think Tae but... I'm not mad. Besides, I already said what I wanted to say that night when Nick told the truth and you confirmed it. That night, everything was cleared to me," Tiffany held Taeyeon's cheek. "I wanted to text you but I lost my phone to somewhere," she murmured then pouted.
Taeyeon pulled out Tiffany's phone in her pocket and waved it to Tiffany "You went to my old apartment right?"
Tiffany gave her eye smile and snatched her phone from the blonde "Yes last night! Anyway, I saw Nayeon and she let me stay in their house with ahjumma."
"Ah, she was calling me but I ignored her!" Taeyeon hissed. "I've checked you to every place we went last three years. I'm glad that you're here I thought you checked in at the same hotel"
"Yes I did."
"But the receptionist said there's no Hwang Tiffany-"
"Yes, because I used Kim Tiffany and I already moved at Nayeon's house early in the morning."
Taeyeon reddened "R-really? You used Kim?"
Tiffany nodded "Yes, no biggie. Anyway, how did you know that I'm here?"
"Just my instinct, or maybe my family helped me?" Taeyeon mentally thanked her parents and Taehyung.
"Ahh... great! I went to eomma and appa to visit them and I gave them flowers."
"I saw it, I knew it was you."
Tiffany hummed and just grinned.
"Pani ah, thank you for accepting me" Taeyeon cuddled Tiffany "I'm so happy now, I feel so much fine now."
"But I realized something Tae..."
Taeyeon quickly pulled away to look at Tiffany "What is it?"
"You and Taehyung have so many similarities right? I noticed it everyday that I'm with you, of course you just said it, you are also him but you have also differences," Tiffany inched forward.
"....."
"First, he's a boy and you're a girl..." Tiffany chuckled with her silly remark "Then he's shy type while you're not. He left me-" She lowered her head "And now you're here..." She looked up at Taeyeon to meet her eyes again. "You promised that you will never leave me and I trust you Tae," Tiffany pecked Taeyeon's lips.
"Yuri's right Pani, your heart is sincere. I came back as Taeyeon but still," Taeyeon pointed on Tiffany chest, "it recognized me even if I changed my identity and I'm so lucky to have you."
Tiffany giggled "That's why you're so familiar to me Tae, it's just you all along." She looked around the place "So this is the second time that we went here it means..." She slowly turned around 360 with her eye smile. "You and me will be together forever," she leaned forward to kiss Taeyeon for a moment, she just can't help it.
Then Taeyeon pulled out a small box in the pocket of her shirt, it was color blue, she showed it to Tiffany "Pani ah~"
"Tae..." Tiffany was speechless as she blankly stared at Taeyeon
Taeyeon opened the blue box, it was a ring with tiny diamond in the center! "Hwang Tiffany, I always bring this with me. I'm just waiting for the perfect timing. And I think right now is so perfect to ask you this. Will... will you marry me Pani? Will you be my wife?" She asked and her eyes gleamed with love and hope.
Tiffany gave a teary eye smile "Yes! Kim Taeyeon! I will marry you!" She wrapped her arms around Taeyeon's neck "I want to be your wife! You don't know how much I've waited for this!"
Taeyeon faced Tiffany and wiped her tears, she pulled out the ring and took Tiffany's hand "Let's get married soon Pani," she put the ring on Tiffany's finger, it fits to her. Just perfectly.
Tiffany inspected the ring on her hand "Tae, it's so beautiful and it looks very expensive."
"You're more beautiful than the ring and yeah, it's quite expensive but it's okay. You're worthy for it," Taeyeon winked and grinned as she held Tiffany's hand and kissed the back of it.
"I regretted that I left you once but now, I promise that I will stay now. I will always thank God because I found you Pani. I love you so much," Taeyeon rested her forehead to Tiffany and closed her eyes.
Tiffany shut her eyes too "I know Tae, I love you so much... too," she giggled.
Taeyeon slowly kissed Tiffany, from simple smack to passionate long. Taeyeon was happy that finally she has no secret that burdens her like for almost three years. She's contented and satisfied by the result of being brave to face her problem, to fight for her love and not to easily give up. They felt so good being with each other, and I think, this is one of the best feelings we will ever have. To be with someone we love and someone who's willing to love us back, unconditionally.
"Falling in love is like jumping off on top of a really high building, your mind tells you that it's not good idea and just stupid thing but your heart tells you, YOU CAN FLY."
*****
So, the end?
This chapter is dedicated to alien_kth, she's my friend who likes Kim Taehyung badly! That's why I named Taeyeon's brother here Taehyung because she's the mastermind of it. I love you Tae! (Our callsign cuz of our biases)
