[To: Jessica]
[From: Tiffany]
don’t be late… I won’t wait
She pushed the send button as she leaned against the wooden back seat. It was 1 in the afternoon and the coffee bar seems really quiet, just some customer can be seen. Tiffany yawned loudly and stared outside the window, she frowned.
‘should I back to her?’ she thought.
FLASHBACK
“TIFFANY HWANG I LOVE YOU!!” she heard Jessica shouted. “I SWEAR I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! pl-please don’t give- up on me” she lowered her voice. “pleas-se”
Tiffany freeze, can’t move when she heard Jessica’s word. She said she loves her, she felt anxious. Tiffany turned around and saw Jessica kneeled down and buried her face onto her palm.
“I’m… I’m sorry” Tiffany said.
Jessica looked at her in shock, waited for another words.
“I… I can’t forgive you just like that” Tiffany sighed. “prove it to me. Prove that you love me”
END FLASHBACK
“please Jessi” she whisper to herself. “I hope I do the right thing to give you another change”
The appointment is 1.30, just 30 more minutes until Jessica arrived here with Gyuri and told her everything. Her heart beating fast as the clock ticked. Tiffany straightened her sat when her phone vibrate. It is Eunjung, she smiled and pick up the call.
“yas Jungie?”
“nervous?”
“yeah... Wish you were here. I need someone to talk to. Glad you calling”
Eunjung chuckled but Tiffany can sense the pain look on her face. However, she knows Eunjung loves her and she felt guilty because Eunjung knows that she gave Jessica another change to win her love. She is her best friend - maybe more than Taeyeon and Sunny because she always there when she needs her.
“Jungie-ah, mianhae. I don’t know if I make a good decision or not. I’m confuse”
“don’t be, I support you whatever your decision is. It’s your life Fany, you choose your own way. You need you soul and Jessica is yours”
Tiffany smiled weakly. Eunjung was very a great listener and everything. She knows Eunjung was hurt so much and decided to not come and stood there beside Tiffany and gve her some strength. It is not because the work make her busy, but her mind make her busy. She was busy thinking, busy fighting with herself to moving on or just stuck with Tiffany.
“thank you so much. I owe you everything”
“yes you are” Eunjung giggled.
When she about to talked again, the door opened and she held her breath when she saw Jessica with Gyuri behind her. Looking for her at the edge of the door. Jessica’s eyes found Tiffany and Tiffany looked at to another side of the coffee bar to avoid her gaze.
“uh… Jungie, I call you again latter. She is… already h-here”
“ah… I see. Good luck”
She put her phone on her jeans pocket again when Jessica took a sit beside her, Gyuri sat in front of her - looked at her boringly. Tiffany exhale softly before she faced the 2 blonde in front of her. Jessica looking at her with her hopeful stare, pain still can be notice.
“so?” tiffany asked tried her best to be calm.
Jessica shift in her sit, signaled Gyuri to spoke first. The other blonde huffed annoyingly.
“I don’t know what I supposed to say Fany but this ice princess” she pointed Jessica with her thumb. “started to scared me with her begged” Gyuri crossed her hands and leaned against the back seat. “let’s make it clear now. Listen to me carefully because I won’t and never want to repeat this again. Pff~ embarrassing
“me and Jessica didn’t made out that night. I did something to her but not slept with her okay… not. Slept. With. Her” she said. Tiffany nodded.
“go ahead”
“that was me who made those love-marks, she didn’t do anything wrong with me. I put some drugs to her drink so she can’t do anything at that time. She is truly innocent, I made her drunk. She didn’t even touched me. Not a just a little touched”
“really?” Tiffany took a glance at Jessica who just nodded at Gyuri’s statement.
“it’s all up to you if you want to trust me or- awww… hey, that’s hurt!” protested Gyuri.
Tiffany looked at Jessica who pouted at the other blonde, begged Gyuri wth her puppy eye. Gyuri groaned.
“heck that puppy eyes!” she hissed. Tiffany want to giggled but she held it.
“so?”
“Tiff, I love you” Jessica took Tiffany’s hand and held it tightly, her eyes teary. “forgive me, please? I-I swear I won’t hurt you again”
The brown haired girl sighed heavily before she answered but Gyuri interrupt her.
“don’t give up on her. She was just… just… love you so damn much. I am more better than you but I don’t know why she likes you more than me” Gyuri stood up. “I gotta go, I’ve something to do. Forgive them or she’ll be mine” with that, Gyuri stepped out the coffee bar and gone in sight.
Tiffany looked at her hands that held by the teary blonde in front of her. Jessica begged with her eyes and with her hurtful look. Tiffany smiled at her, she was just to lovely to be hate.
“you… forgive me?” Jessica asked.
Tiffany leaned closer to her and pecked her pale lips.
“I always forgive you”
Jessica smiled wildly, she took a sit beside Tiffany and hugged her girlfriend tightly, just if it’s their last hugged. Tiffany hugged her back, buried her face on Jessica’s neck.
“I miss you so much” Jessica mumbled. “don’t dare you leave me again”
The brunette can feels the blonde cried in happiness when she heard a sniffed. Tiffany let go of their hugged and stared into the older girl’s brown eyes. She wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and kissed Jessica forehead, tip of her nose, until her soft lips.
“I won’t” she said as she flashed her eye-smile. “I love you so much”
Jessica hugged her again. “thank you”
“don’t be” she kissed Jessica cheek. “but I totally mad with the two danshin”
“uh?” she let go of her hug. “why?”
“because she didn’t tried to looking at me”
~~~
Yuri stood up when she looks at the edge of the door frame. Tiffany leans on the door with Jessica hugged her from behind. A wide smile plastered at the tall girl’s face as she run and hugged Tiffany slightly. Yuri tapped her head playfully.
“glad to see you again, Mushroom”
“me too” Tiffany hugged the taller girl again which made Jessica pout.
Yuri let out a giggled when she looked at Jessica and let go of the hug. Sooyoung came afterward with her snacks. She chews for a good five second before her eyes widened when Tiffany turn around to looked at her.
“Fany-ah!!!”
She giant jumped at the shorter girl and cuddled her up as she messed Tiffany’s brown hair.
“don’t you know I miss you? where you’ve been Sica’s gem?”
Tiffany blushed by the nickname that sooyoung gave her. She flashed her eye-smile. Yuri grabbed Sooyoung’s snacks and made the giant let go of her cuddle.
“gimme back my snacks you…”
Yuri chews the snacks teasingly. “you what?”
“aish~~~”
The both of them now - like always - fooling around and hit one another head. Sooyoung kicks Yuri’s butt when she tried to grabs the taller girls snack from her gripped. She slaps Sooyoung’s head and when the giant lose her balance, Yuri kicks her butt and ran away before Sooyoung ran after her. Both Jessica and Tiffany watch the two taller girls as they laugh.
Tiffany turned around when someone tapped her shoulder and she immediately changes her happy expression to the bored and annoyed one. Jessica looked at Taeyeon and when she realize what Tiffany wanted to react to the older girl, she hide behind her girlfriend’s back and started playing with her brown hair before she hugs her from behind.
“Fa…..ny-ah” her expression suddenly change when she notice her bestfriend’s annoyed expression. “w-what with that face?”
Tiffany scoffed. “nothing”
“y-yah~” Taeyeon peeked at Tiffany’s back and took a glance at Jessica. Jessica shrugged and mouthed a ‘what?’. Taeyeon looked at Tiffany again.
“uh… did I-“
“FANY!! is that you?? omooooo~~~~” Sunny run at their direction with joy, but suddenly when she looked at the younger girl’s face she looked confused and asked her girlfriend beside her.
“what’s… wrong?” she asked carefully.
Tiffany crossed her hands on her chest as she tilted her head and narrowed her eyes. Glance at the two danshin in front of her.
“why you two didn’t tried to found me?”
Jessica mouthed an ‘uh-oh’ with her mouth teasingly at Taeyeon and Sunny. The dandyu glance at her.
“can’t answered it, uh?”
Both of them looked at Tiffany again, confused how to answer the question.
“we- we did tried to found you… really” Sunny answered and Taeyeon nods.
“liar~~~” Jessica said melodically, softly into her girlfriends ear, Tiffany held back her giggled, still plastered her face with fake annoying expression.
“shut up, Sica”
“yah, don’t say like that to my girlfriend, kiddo”
“yah! I’m not kid!” Taeyeon pouted.
“yes you are” Jessica teased and giggled.
“yah!” Sunny shouted.
“what shorty?”
“what the… shut up you sleepyhead!”
“yah! Lee Soonkyu!”
“aish… you Hwang Miyoung!”
“yah!”
“yah!”
“yah!”
“yah!!”
The four of them stay silent for a while. Tried to figure out what was just happened as they stared at each other. Few seconds latter, all of them brushed in laugh and Tiffany just forgot her mission to mad at the two shorter girls. They continue joking around like a fool for a good ten minutes before the bell finally rang.
The lecturer stood in front of the class, smile on his face. He didn’t know what was just happened with some of his students few weeks ago. He still stood there with his fool smiles when Gyuri knock the class door and stood at the edge of the door. He signaled her to enter the class but Gyuri scoffed at him and looked at the other six girls in the class. Gyuri smile at them.
“like seriously, just leave this class forever” she laughed and winked at Jessica and Tiffany as she go away.
Jessica stood up, smile on her face. She stick her hand at her girlfriend - Tiffany took it - they walked towards the door but stopped for a while to face the confused lecturer.
“sorry sir but, we just learned something more important because of that stupid assignment” Jessica said cooly.
“sorry… we don’t need anything more from your class” Tiffany waved at him and walked out the door hand in hand with Jessica.
Yuri, Sooyoung, Taeyeon, and Sunny giggled and stood up. They made their way to the door and leave the class without say goodbye.
------------
Eunjung sat alone on the swing with earphone plugged on the ears. She was tried to move on after she realized that she couldn’t made Tiffany fully hers. Tiffany was Jessica only, and that’s the bitter fact which she had to plaster on her brain. She scoffed because her own stupidly.
“how stupid I am” she said to herself as she stood up and lay down to the green grass below her. She closed her eyes but opened it again when she feels someone lay beside her. She rise her eyebrow and turned off her iPod.
“hi there”
“Hyomin? H-how did you know that I’m here?” Eunjung sat up and crossed her legs. Hyomin sat up beside her.
“I know you so well, Jungie”
Eunjung nodded. They stay silent for awhile before Hyomin broke the silent after she gathered her braveness. She exhale loudly.
“so… h-how is it now?”
“move on?” Hyomin nodded. “well, it’s quiet hard but I still tried it though”
“it’s been a week… I know it’s hard but” she stopped and bit her lips. Eunjung looked at her but Hyomin refuse to look back.
“but what?”
“maybe if… if you need help” she gulped. “I-I uh… maybe I can he-lp”
Eunjung tilted her head to one side so she can see Hyomin’s face clearly. “what kind of-“
“HamEunjungIlikeyou” she blurt out but snapped back when she realize what was just she said. She slapped her mouth with her hand.
“uh? I can’t hear you clearly… can you… repeat it again?”
Hyomin sighed in relieved - but mostly in disappointment because Eunjung can’t hear what was she said.
“nevermind” she force smile at Eunjung and stood up. “s-see you… see you again, Eunjung”
Eunjung rise her eyebrow by Hyomin’s call. It was ‘Eunjung’ not ‘Jungie’ like she used to. She watched Hyomin walked away from behind, the girl had her head down and Eunjung felt guilty. She was not actually didn’t hear what Hyomin said oppositely she was clearly heard it but she just wanted to make sure that what she heard was right.
Eunjung stood up and ran towards Hyomin’s directions with smile on her face. She hugged her from behind and buried her face on the other girl’s back. Hyomin gasped in shocked and struggled. Eunjung didn’t care and didn’t let go of her hugs instead she hug Hyomin tighter than before.
“I like you too”
Hyomin froze, her heart feels like stopped by itself. Joy and shocked at the same time.
“Hyomin-ah… do you hear me? I like you too”
Hyomin still froze until Eunjung let go of her hug. She heard Eunjung sighs and heard her footsteps, she didn’t wanted to lose her change anymore so she turned around and grabbed her on the wrist. She pulled the short haired girl to her embrace and buried her face on Eunjung’s neck.
“don’t go” she said.
Eunjung smile and hugged her back.
“love me like… like you love Fany”
Eunjung felt guilty by her words and she hugged Hyomin tightly.
“Hyomin…” she rested her chin on the other girl’s head. “I’ll love you like you love me. I would never use you. I promised”
--------------
Tiffany watched the blonde sleeping figure beside her, she missed her girlfriend so damn much. Jessica shifted in her sleep, she hugged Tiffany and rest her hand in the younger girl waist. Tiffany smile and cupped her face.
“Jessi” she whisper. “I love you”
Tiffany hugged her, she rested her forehead on Jessica’s and peck her lips before she closed her eyes. Jessica opened her eyes lazily and smile lovingly at her girlfriend. The closeness make her heart melted by her girlfriend’s beauty, she missed her touch, her hug, her kiss and everything. She got it again now, she got Tiffany again and all of her heart. She was just love the brown haired girl too much. And she knows, that’s not a good thing. Because if Tiffany left her again for the second time, she couldn’t move on anymore. She knows that but she didn’t care about it. As long as Tiffany with her, it was more than enough.
Tiffany shifted in her sleep and buried her face on Jessica’s neck. The blonde smile and hold of her hand, she kissed her girlfriend’s fingers and rested her head on Tiffany’s head, inhale her smell.
“I love you more than you do”
She took a glance to the white paper on her desk and smile. She still remembered what the words written there. The paper which Gikwang gave her, the paper which made her love her girlfriend even more, the paper that always made her smile when she read it. The paper which written by her one and only lover; Tiffany Hwang.
