Hola minasan! How are you guys doing? I finally finished 7 yesterday and I believe I am done with my drama. Well I hope I am... ^^;;. My mood was really affected but I think I'm done. There's nothing left for me to do but walk away and move on. Though I think that I am still having this writer's block thing I also think it's getting better. I don't really want you guys to wait anymore so thus, here you go. =x.
My only warning for this chapter is that it's intense. UNF, pelvic thrust.

Selca Seven: If Dreams Come True (I'll Be with You)
Tiffany held onto Taeyeon’s arm and gazed at her. It was around four in the morning and she could not believe that this would be the last time that she would be able to wake up like this.
Tiffany then kissed Taeyeon’s cheek and it left her dazed. Taeyeon’s cheeks were so soft that she couldn't help but blush. She even felt like she was stealing a kiss from someone that she had been crushing on for a long time. Tiffany leaned in and kissed her again. Tiffany couldn't restrain herself from grazing Taeyeon's lips with her own. She began to move her lips more and even occasionally bit Taeyeon's lower lip.
She felt Taeyeon’s hands on her torso and she began kissing Taeyeon a bit more intensely.
“We can’t do this.” Taeyeon whispered to her, while doing the opposite of what she said they couldn't do. Taeyeon bit her neck, licking it ever so sensually that nothing in her brain would register. She longed for Taeyeon’s hands on her heating body, her flattering words.
She needed those butterflies in her stomach, the burning touches that Taeyeon gave.
At that moment, she didn’t need Taeyeon for just a quick f u ck. She needed her entire being. All the Taeyeon could give. Tiffany wanted it.
“Please. Taeyeon. I’m gonna go insane.” She panted. Tiffany trailed kisses from Taeyeon’s neck and started moving down.
Taeyeon shivered from the heated touching. Her breathing grew heavy and she found herself closing her eyes from Tiffany’s touch. She cursed at herself for the fact that it was so wrong. She just broke up with her girlfriend, and here she was, getting weak from her touch all over again. It was as if Tiffany did not even know that they broke up.
“Ahhh…” She sighed when Tiffany kissed her collarbone. Her body heated up and she could feel Tiffany’s body do the same. She squirmed on the bed, letting Tiffany have her way with her body.
“One…one last time…” She said as she let her shorts slide off her legs to join her shirt. Lenience for one last time, she told herself. Her desperation overcame self-control and all thoughts of anything but Tiffany vanished into thin air.
The two of them hungrily devoured each other, desperately holding on to whatever they could grasp. It was the last time that they would feel complete.
-----
Tiffany opened her eyes and found Taeyeon peacefully sleeping next to her. She could hear light snores coming from Taeyeon, and all that she wanted at that moment was a gentle kiss. When she did though, Tiffany couldn't help but feel guilty with what Taeyeon had proposed and at what she just did.
It was a hasty decision on her part and she could have sworn that she was lulled into the decision of having Taeyeon embrace her. She thought that yesterday's event was all part of her dream. She heard Taeyeon vaguely say something about them ending it, but she had nothing else on her mind but being held by her, so she agreed to whatever Taeyeon said. Unfortunately, her stupidity caused everything she feared of to become a reality and she knew it was irreversible. Taeyeon wanted to be fair to Yuri and Jessica by ending their own relationship, and Tiffany should also try to do the same. After all, she was the one who was worried and concerned for Jessica in the first place.
Taeyeon stirred in her sleep and Tiffany looked at her with a breaking smile. Her smile was filled with sorrow as she lingered on the sight. This was going to be the last time she would see Taeyeon basking naked in the sun like this, and the time when she would be able to kiss Taeyeon at will. Now it's gone.
They were done, and truth be told, Tiffany’s heart was slowly breaking.
Tiffany’s eyesight eventually went blurry from tears and she covered her mouth to decrease her weeping. It was unbelievable. The feelings of love that she felt from Taeyeon were slipping away from her so much, that it started to sting. All she could do was cry out her despair, leave her feelings behind, and accept the death of their love. Fate was cruel, but love had her in a death grip.
“Pani-ah…” She felt a hand caress her cheek. She could not find the power to look her in the eyes. Her sorrow would reveal all the pain she held, and she did not want Taeyeon to see that. Tiffany didn't want anyone to see her in this state right now. “I’m here…”
“I’m here, Tippani. I’m here.” Taeyeon said as if she was dying in her arms. She could tell that Taeyeon was crying as well.
“Please…don’t cry.” Taeyeon secured her in the crook of her neck.
Taeyeon’s whisper had somehow calmed her, but her tears would just not stop. So she closed her eyes to hold her tears. She pretended that everything was just a dream and she felt infant-like. Her contents were emptied out, and she was becoming a clean slate for her and Taeyeon’s sake.
“Thank you.” She gave the best smile she could.
Tiffany did not want Taeyeon to remember her in tears or sorrow, because everything she shared with Taeyeon was nothing close to it. Their relationship felt perfect-yet simple in every single way. She felt secure and she knew she belonged with Taeyeon. But as the seconds went by and their silence passed, she knew that she had to stop, just like Taeyeon had already done yesterday.
Forgetting was the first step in letting go. Forgetting Taeyeon was the first step in letting go.
---
Hour four of their break up and Tiffany felt exhausted. Mentally tired of figuring out how Taeyeon could hold out for so long, while she felt depressed and frustrated. Tiffany longed for Taeyeon and she could not read the other girl's actions if she felt the same way.
She felt dismayed. Taeyeon had addressed her formally as "Tippani-sshi" rather than the usual "Pani-ah". She was hurt that Taeyeon was treating her like a stranger, as if she was not guilty of robbing Tiffany's heart right from the start.
Tiffany wanted to grab Taeyeon possessively and kiss her, to show her that everything needs to go back the way it used to be. Taeyeon will then kiss her more, tell her that she really loves Tiffany and that she had been holding back her true feelings. It would be just like the movies where the protagonist proclaims her true love, to the love of her life and they live happily ever after. But of course, Tiffany knew that hopeful wishes only lead to great disappointments. So she brushed her thoughts off.
Maybe she’ll try to live without Taeyeon. Or maybe she’ll die pretending that she could.
Tiffany rested her back on the couch, and shifted her attention to the show on T.V.. She found it amusing how shows in Korea were excessively corny, some complete with grown men wearing makeup and wigs.
“Unnie…stop…” She heard Seohyun speak from the kitchen. Tiffany could faintly make out what she was seeing but it seemed like Yoona was cornering Seohyun. After Seohyun finally took notice of Tiffany, she shoved Yoona to the side and straightened up her clothes. “Yoona…later.”
Yoona’s mood turned sour and she proceeded back to the living room. Seohyun meekly smiled at Tiffany and proceeded to sit next to her on the couch.
Yoona and Seohyun sat on the couch across Tiffany and Tiffany felt bothered with Yoona’s actions. Yoona held Seohyun’s hand in a seemingly painful way and Seohyun meekly kept calm with it. Seohyun focused her attention in the show and Tiffany felt their actions as being out of the ordinary.
Tiffany instead focused her attention to the show called “We’re a Fake Couple” and she realized why Yoona looked so upset. The girl in the show under the “Baked Potato couple” had a girl that looked like Seohyun and Tiffany deduced that Yoona was obviously not happy with that. In certain parts of the show, Yoona cringed at sweet moments that the girl had with man she was paired with and Tiffany found it amusing. Her dongsaeng looked like a little boy trying to fight off the people that wanted to take her favorite toy-or girlfriend away.
Shortly after the credits rolled, Tiffany stood up to leave. Before she could get very far Yoona stopped her.
“Unnie…can we talk.” She hung her head and Seohyun seemed to immediately know what was happening. Seohyun stood up after pecking Yoona on the cheek.
“Sure…” Tiffany sat back down with uneasiness looming over her.
“Taeyeon-unnie told me about the break-ups and that I should do it with Hyunnie too…” Yoona’s voice sounded shaky which made Tiffany worry. She felt sad that Yoona felt this way and that things were beyond her control. “I-I can’t…I just-I just can’t do it.”
Tears began to fall from Yoona and Tiffany comforted her. She never saw Yoona cry like this, despite the fact that she thought that Yoona was a total player when it came to girls. Tiffany never imagined that she would see the day where Yoona would cry. It pained her to see her junior shed tears.
“Yoona…” She comforted and held her. The weeping girl looked vulnerable and Tiffany felt the guilt surge all over her. If she did not intervene with Yuri and Jessica, this would not happen to her and Taeyeon, nor would it happen to Yoona and Seohyun.
She observed and began to reflect on their own destruction. It's true that it was Yuri and Jessica's fault but her accidental decision of breaking up with Taeyeon had brought things to a more catasthropic level that she was truly in pain. Yoona held onto her and she felt like most irresponsible unnie. She promised to herself that she'd watch over her dongsaeng and being unable to do that was simply unforgivable. she thought that maybe she should just exclude the maknaes in all this. Yoona was still young and Seohyun was responsible enough to know what their limits were.
"She can't go. I'm not letting you." Yoona said bitterly with her head on Tiffany shoulder. "I can't live without her."
The last few words struck her that she began to relate things with Taeyeon. And indeed, she could totally relate.
----------------
When Tiffany waited for Taeyeon at the dining table, she had made up her mind. Tiffany intended to reason out with Taeyeon, that what they were doing was unnecessary and that they can go back and fix Yuri and Jessica’s relationship. Things would then go back to how they used to be, Taeyeon waking up next to her, smiling and kissing her when her day starts and when it ends. They did not need to separate for their future’s sake because they could work it out.
Tiffany was optimistic and she hoped that Taeyeon could see her reasoning.
Seohyun served their meal and as time passed, Tiffany felt her courage disappear. Thoughts of worry occupied her mind and she became scared of the number of possibilities of how Taeyeon would react. Taeyeon could logically reason how they were incompatible with each other, explain how much of a hypocrite she was becoming, or worse-but probably the most realistic solution; Taeyeon telling her that she had come to her senses and concluded that she did not want Tiffany anymore.
She worriedly ate her kimchi, that she instinctively looked down when she felt Yoona and Seohyun’s eyes on her. Tiffany did not want her dongsaengs to worry about her so she ignored them by avoiding their gaze. The dinner was probably the most awkward dinner that Tiffany had experienced during her stay in their dorm, but it all dissipated when Taeyeon entered the room.
Somehow, Taeyeon’s presence was so overwhelming that Tiffany couldn’t help but feel nervous. She looked back at her meal, while her heart started beating uncontrollably and she suddenly lost her appetite. Flashbacks of the times she spent with Taeyeon began to pan through her mind and it was like she had this little childish crush for Taeyeon again. She was reminded of how Taeyeon kissed her, held her, and said sweet things to her.
“Tippani-sshi, would you like more rice?” She heard Taeyeon’s voice linger in her ears that her knees suddenly turned weak. It was now obvious that she was having her own little spazz attack, feeling highly sensitive to any interaction that she was having with Taeyeon.
How it happened left her flabbergasted. But Tiffany hoped that she would find out soon.
“Uh n-no. I’m fine.” She stood up and she hid her face from Taeyeon and everyone she ate dinner with.
She needed to know soon before her cover gets blown.
“I’m done eating.”
----------------
Day three of their break up and Taeyeon felt the awkwardness that Tiffany had towards her. Recently, Tiffany had been avoiding her at all costs, eating late dinners and staying outside late to decrease the chance of their meetings. During practice, Tiffany would never meet her gaze, or Tiffany would immediately look away.
Though it was nothing serious, Tiffany often looked worried or sick, and this caused Taeyeon to feel a bit concerned and distressed.It was either the fact that, she still had feelings for Tiffany that are so hard to pacify, or maybe it’s the fact that she was genuinely concerned as a fellow trainee.
Of course, it was obvious that it was the first theory that was the truth, but for everyone’s sake, she was working hard towards making the second theory truer than the truth.
“Okay, let us begin.” The trainer announced to them and they took their places. Taeyeon spotted Tiffany and observed her every single move. Tiffany looked extra beautiful that day. Taeyeon just could not take her eyes off of her. Although she’s seen Tiffany for more than three months straight now, there was something about her that took her breath away. This, she admits happens on a daily basis, but somehow, today felt a bit more special than the other days.
-------------------
Taeyeon didn’t know how it happened but Tiffany was now right next to her. They were practicing their greetings. The man next to her used to be her crush, Leeteuk, but Taeyeon had her attention on Tiffany, who was also side by side with her. Tiffany still looked nervous and worried around her, and she still could not take her eyes off of Tiffany. She was constantly being drawn in by that worried smile and that cute voice that kept on beaming apologies.
“Now, I would like all of you to hold hands.” The trainer said and it took each of them a while to process what was going on.
When Taeyeon came back to her senses, she took hold of Tiffany’s shaking hand. It reminded her of how she held Tiffany’s hand before and she felt nostalgic. She almost instinctively caressed Tiffany’s hand with her thumb, unconsciously trying to calm her down. Tiffany eventually relaxed her muscles and Taeyeon found Tiffany looking down with a deep blush on her face.
Looking at her made Taeyeon’s heart skip a beat.
It felt like having a crush that totally liked her back.
If dreams come true
I'll be with you
I love that smile in your eyes
You see a dream in the skies
In your caress there is happiness
And love in view
If dreams come true
