The weekend was done in a heartbeat. Tiffany doesn't have fever anymore because Taeyeon was taking care of her.
Monday at J&HEnt.
Yuri was back to her work as the secretary of Jessica. At the canteen of the building. Jessica, Krystal and Tiffany were seated together in a table. While Taeyeon and Yuri in the other table not so far from the three. They are chatting.
In the table of the three while having their coffee.
"You didn't tell me anything Jess! Taeyeon just said it to me." She glared at Jessica
"Sorry Tiffany, it just happened. At first, I'm not really sure about my feelings for Yuri. But I can't take it anymore. My feeling burst when she said she'll gonna leave me." looked sad
Tiffany smiled "I'm just kidding Jess, well... congrats! I'm happy for you"
"Thank you Tiffany"
"Ehem! Anyway sis... um" Krystal coughed for attention
"Yes sis?" Jessica asked
"I'm sorry for my behavior. I know you were a player before and I'm kinda used to it. Sorry for doubting you sis." Krystal sincerely said
"It's okay Krystal, I appreciate your concern to Yuri. And I'm happy that you're protecting her."
"I just don't want her to suffer again."
"Wait, do you like Yuri?" Tiffany looked to Krystal
"Huh? No! Of course not! She belongs to Jessica unnie now and she's not my type Tiffany unnie." She blushed
"But you looked in love?" Tiffany chuckled
"A-actually... y-yes I am" she stuttered
"Yes, it's her D-day today" slyly said
"Huh? D-day?" Tiffany asked "Looks like you're keeping secrets now."
"Not really, it's her bar's anniversary today. And she will serenade someone." Jessica grinned and looked to the seat of Taeyeon and Yuri.
Tiffany also looked towards the two and confused "And who's the lucky girl?"
"It-its Taeyeon." Krystal said
"WHAT?" she shrieked and stood up
The people glanced at them in confusion. Taeyeon and Yuri looked at them too but Krystal gave them sign that it was just nothing to worry. As Jessica grabbed Tiffany's arm and she was back to her seat.
"What was that? Why did you shout?" Jessica asked
"Taeyeon? Krystal likes Taeyeon?" Tiffany dreadfully asked
"Yes unnie, I really like her or maybe I love her. I will confess to her later at locksmith's bar." she was excited
"B-but she's straight!" she pointed out
"I doubt that, she has no boyfriend. She's still single until now. And I think I have a chance. I'll just try. She's close to you, can you support me and go to the bar later unnie?"
Tiffany was still out of the blue. Jessica could sense something about her best friend's reaction.
"Don't worry Krystal, we will come to support you." Jessica guaranteed "Right Tiff?"
"Ah, um, y-yeah... of course. Why wouldn't I?" she retorted
"Thank you both. I'm really nervous but excited. I hope she will accept me." Krystal looked at Taeyeon and Yuri's table and smiled.
While at Taeyeon and Yuri's table.
"Wow, gosh. That's great Yul! And you looked happy now with Jess." Taeyeon assumed
"Yes. She makes me feel love every day. She changed a lot, though sometimes she's still have icy attitude. I just melt it down with my kiss." Cockily said
"Eww, overconfident huh."
"At least now I have experience unlike you, no touch and no kiss." She teased
"No. I've been kissed." She smirked
"Huh? Who's the guy? You have a boyfriend??"
"I don't have boyfriend."
"What Tae? You kissed a random guy for nothing?"
"Not a guy. I kissed Tiffany."
"Huh? Tiffany?? You're a-" she's pointing to herself "Like me and Jessica?"
Taeyeon sighed "She just kissed me because I asked for it. I mean, I wanted her to teach me."
"S-so you like her?" she sipped her coffee and still in confused.
"I don't know Yul. I thought I'm straight like a lamp post but when we kissed I felt something weird. I want more of her touch, and... kiss." She glanced at Tiffany in the other table. "What will I do now?"
"You must tell her what you feel."
Taeyeon looked at Yuri "Are you serious?"
Yuri nodded "She was like a best friend to you, so don't keep secrets from her."
"But what if... what if she doesn't love me back?" fearfully said
"Then you must accept it."
"Okay, I will tell her later" sternly said
"What?? Are you sure?? LATER?"
"Yes, I made up my mind. I just want you to push me to do it." She chuckled "I know you will suggest it"
"Aishh... smarty head. Anyway not all lamp posts are straight. You should know that."
"Whatever"

At Tiffany's office.
Tiffany was spacing out. She was thinking of what Krystal said before about her feelings to Taeyeon.
"Taeyeon was straight, she will definitely reject Krystal. But what if... no no. I know Taeyeon has no feelings for her because she would tell me. If Taeyeon like someone she would tell it to me. We're like best friends too." She said in mind
Someone entered the room and sit on the side of her table but Tiffany didn't notice it.
"I feel sorry for Krystal, maybe I will accompany her later. Taeyeon, Taeyeon shoudn't be in a relationship with others, I'm not ready to let her go. I'm her friend, I don't want to share her attention with other. I want her attention. All of her attention to me. Just me."
"Tiffany"
Someone called her "Tiffany? Are you alright?"
Tiffany was back from her spaced out. She looked at the person who was talking to her.
"I'm already here few minutes ago, and you're on your deep thought. Maybe you're thinking about me?"
Tiffany was shocked. The person who was talking in front of her was her ex-boyfriend Nickhun.
"Miss me?" Nickhun asked
"Nick... why you're here?"
"Because I miss you." He smiled
~
While at Jessica's office.
"Hmm wwmm Iwrrhmmm chap shuushh hmmm chap mushshhh @#$%^&****** chap chap"
"What did you say Yul?" Jessica asked
Jessica was kissing Yuri as she sits on the tan's lap in front of Yuri's table. Her arms wrapped on Yuri's neck while Yuri was holding her back.
"I said, how will I work if you are doing this?"
"I just miss you. And besides I'm the one who will pay you." She kissed Yuri fleetingly
"But how about my job?"
"Hmm, okay. Do your job. I will give you task." She grinned
"Good. What task miss?"
"Your task is... to kiss me. If I'm not satisfied, I will deduct it to your salary"
"What?? Please be serious Jess."
"I'm serious! Okay fine! If you don't want it, then don't do it!" Jessica stood up
Yuri stood up and hugged Jessica from her back, leaning her chin to the woman's shoulder "Of course I want it." She kissed Jessica's shoulder "I always want it" She kissed Jessica's neck.
"Uhh... don't do that Yuri. You're turning me on. I just ask you to kiss me on my lips."
"Oh sorry"
"No sorry, you'll be punished later when we got home." She faced Yuri and hugged her.
"I will accept your punishment then. As well as the task you gave me today." She kissed Jessica's cheeks
"We still have three hours left. Can you do it in three hours?"
"It's not enough though." She kissed Jessica's lips "I can kiss you all day Jess" her lips still on Jessica's.
Jessica chuckled and Yuri started to kiss her passionately.
~
Taeyeon finished her vocal lesson. She was heading to Tiffany's office. She looked nervous but she made up her mind and she will tell Tiffany about her feelings. She stopped on SeoHyun's table.
"Is Tiffany in her office?" Taeyeon asked
"Yes unnie, but I'm afraid you can't go inside for a moment."
"She has a meeting?"
SeoHyun shook her head. As the door of Tiffany's office was slowly opened. Taeyeon looked at the door, she was freeze and no reaction. She saw Nickhun and Tiffany came out to the room. And her eyes got bigger when Nickhun kissed Tiffany's lips. She was shaking, she doesn't know what to do. She wanted to run away but her feet didn't move. She tried to control herself, as she managed to walk away. She was unconsciously crying.
After the kiss, just a smack. Tiffany doesn't have reaction.
"Thank you"
Tiffany smiled. Nickhun smiled back and leave. SeoHyun came near to her boss.
"Madam, are you together again?"
Tiffany just smiled.
"Ah. Anyway Taeyeon was here a while ago. She wanted to talk to you."
"Taeyeon? Where is she?" she looks excited
"I don't know madam, she leave when you and Mr. Nickhun came out from your office."
"She saw me with Nick?"
SeoHyun nodded.
"Did she see Nick kissing me?"
~
Evening. At locksmith's bar.
The party was already on. The typical session in the bar wasn't the same this night because it's the anniversary. Taeyeon and Yuri were on their day off. Taeyeon was like boozy. She drinks a lot than her usual. She was a bit dizzy. Yuri was trying to stop her but Taeyeon looked desperate to drink.
Jessica and Yuri were on the counter having their drinks. They looked at Taeyeon.
"Why she's like that?" Jessica asked
"Heartbroken I guess?" Yuri said
"Huh?"
"I'll tell you if the things are clear but now let's wait what'll happen" Yuri firmly said.
"Okay but I hope she's not drunk until a bit later, with the main event." She sipped her drink
"Main event?"
"It will start just few minutes more." She looked at her wrist watch. "10 minutes more"
"Huh? I don't know about it. That's why Krystal gave us day off?"
Jessica nodded "It's her D-day, she will confess to Taeyeon"
"WHAT?" she choked "CONFESS TO TAEYEON?"
"Yes, she likes that midget." She chuckled
"Oh my gosh..." she mumbled
At Taeyeon's Table. Tiffany sits in front of Taeyeon. She was worried to the petite woman. Taeyeon didn't answer her calls and text messages. And Taeyeon keeps ignoring her since they arrived at the bar.
"TaeTae, stop now... You're drunk." Softly said
"I'm..." she hiccupped "I'm not drunk P-Pani."
"What's wrong with you today?" worriedly said
"Just leave me alone" she was about to drink but Tiffany get the glass containing alcohol from Taeyeon's hand and drank it all.
"I don't like how you behave today. I hate it!" Tiffany said
"So you hate me now?"
"It's not you, but it's what you're doing." She irritably said
"It's just the same"
Tiffany put alcohol drink to the small glass. And drank it all.
The crowd started to clap, Krystal was already on the stage holding a mic. She was ready to sing. She looked nervous but she can't hide her excitement too. All people looked at her as well as Tiffany and Taeyeon. Tiffany stood up and walked towards Jessica and Yuri. She sat in front of the counter too. Taeyeon was confused to her action. Taeyeon wasn't really drunk. She still knows what she was doing. And Krystal started to talk.
"Good evening everyone. As you all know, it was locksmith's anniversary. I'm happy because my business has been in its successful year. And I want to thank y'all. It's also my D-day. In this beautiful night, I want to confess my feelings to someone I love." People teased Krystal on stage. "I will sing her a song, this is dedicated for you... Taeyeon ah."
Taeyeon look stunned as the music plays and Krystal started to sing. The place got darker and there were spotlights over Krystal and Taeyeon. Krystal sings When I was, When you were (It's her song). Her voice was beautiful. All people were amazed by her singing. As she sing, her gazes only to Taeyeon.
"Manheun geol baran geon anya neul gyeote isseotdeon geon
Neoui maltu misoga nal utge mandeureotji eonjena,
Geureon nega sirchi anhasseo
Geuraenni naneun mollasseo hangsang gwichanheun deut useoseo
Nae nuneul barabwa jinsimini?
Gakkeumeun nado moreuge muttukttukhan nega tteoolla
Ireon nae mam seolleneun naega isanghae woo.."
English Translation:
"I didn't want much, you were always by my side
The way you talk and your smile always made me smile
I didn't hate it
Really? I didn't know because you always smiled as if you were a little annoyed
Look at my eyes, do you mean it?
Sometimes, without even knowing, I think of the cold you
It's strange how my heart races.."
The petite woman was looking back at her with a straight face. Tiffany wasn't comfortable looking at Taeyeon. She was panicking inside. Jessica could see her emotion. While Yuri was shaking her head looking at Krystal, she felt bad for the girl.
Krystal was done to her performance. People gave her round of applause. She can't stop it but to smile.
"Kim Taeyeon, can you be my girlfriend?"
Tiffany suddenly stood up and she look worried "Taeyeon" she mumbled
"I love you since the day we first met. I don't why and how. I just did. I always want to see you around. You make me feel happy just with your presence. I feel comfortable with you. I've been waiting for this day. Can you be my girlfriend? Please say yes, Taeyeon?"
Taeyeon stood up and walked near to Krystal. She came up to stage. She was saying something to Krystal, the latter looks shocked. They were talking but the people can't hear them. Tiffany was quivering until Krystal finally spoke to the mic.
"Drinks on me, everyone!"
The crowd gone crazy, they were happy.
Taeyeon held Krystal arm, Krystal kissed her. Some people shouted. Tiffany was about to cry. "No Tae, you can't do this to me" Tiffany said in mind
Taeyeon broke the kiss, looks like Krystal saying something to her. And Krystal kissed her again, passionately. Taeyeon kissed her back. Tiffany can't take it anymore. She walked out to the bar.
"Get a room!" some people from the crowd shouted
Taeyeon broke again the kiss as she saw Tiffany walked away. She came down from the stage and followed Tiffany outside. Krystal bitterly smiled, Jessica noticed her sister's eyes. And she could sense something bad.
~
Outside the bar. Taeyeon was running towards Tiffany, she also shouted her name. But Tiffany was keep walking faster. Taeyeon sped up and chased the latter. She was now in front of Tiffany.
"Where are you going?" she gasped for air
"Congrats! So, you're not straight at all? And what about our kiss before, it has meaning to you?! Liar!" her voice cracked
"I don't know Tiffany! I really don't know!" she shrieked
"f**k! I hate you!" she slapped Taeyeon's cheek
"And what about you? You and Nickhun are... together again?" Taeyeon fearfully asked
"Yes! He talked to me and pleased me to come back to him. He's my boyfriend again! So what?? And you're Krystal's girlfriend now right? I'm not like you Taeyeon, I'm straight! Real straight" said nonchalant
"Oh" Taeyeon paused "Actually... I rejected Krystal." Her tears fell on her cheeks down to her chin
"Huh?"
*flashback*
In the stage.
"I'm sorry Krystal, I'm really sorry."
"What? What do you mean?" Krystal was confused
"I'm sorry Krystal but I can't be your girlfriend. I already love someone else. I don't wanna hurt you, so I'm saying this to you" frankly said
"Can you give me a chance at least? Please" Krystal begged
"I'm sorry but as I said I already love someone. I can't give you a chance, you're just a little sister for me."
Krystal was about to cry, she was really hurt but she played it cool. She spoke to the mic.
"Drinks on me, everyone!" And the crowd gone crazy.
Taeyeon held Krystal's hand. The latter kissed Taeyeon, the petite woman was shocked and pushed her. The kiss broke. Krystal leaned forward to Taeyeon.
"Please kiss me for the last time. And I will accept your rejection."
"Okay"
Krystal kissed Taeyeon passionately. They wanted to show to the crowd that Taeyeon accepted Krystal as her girlfriend. Taeyeon also think for Krystal's reputation.
*end of flashback*
"That was happened on stage" Taeyeon clarified.
Tiffany wanted to say something as she open her mouth but no words came out.
"So... I'm the one who needs to congratulate you."
"Taeyeon"
"Tiffany maybe I'm not straight because I like you. Yes, I really like you."
Tiffany was just dumbfounded.
"I will tell you about it but I saw you with Nickhun. He kissed you. I'm so frustrated that's why I acted like that. I tried to ignore you."
"Are you crazy?? I'm straight!"
"Maybe I am, I believed that I'm straight too. But it all changed when we became friends Pani." she exclaimed "I didn't expect anything from you, and I'm happy for you."
"I'm sorry Taeyeon... But I-I don't like you. You're just a friend to me like a best friend."
"I understand. I hope we're still friends?" she bitterly smiled
"Y-yes, of course Tae."
"Good to hear that, Tiffany"
