Alone & New Director
Its coming to an end. I knew it. You cant stand this. You cant just wait. But I
dont want to blame you. You just want to be happy. I know. I understand. I gave
you your happiness, you smile, you laugh…with me, with me, youre all beyond
happy.
“Choose. Me or your job?”
Youre hurt. Me, I cause it. I think I took your happiness away from you. I rare see
you smiling and laughing just like you used to be. Sighs are always escaping from
you. I am bad. But I want you. I want to make you happy once more. I know I can
do it. But as I said, you cant wait. And again, I dont blame you.
I cannot, unable to reply you. My mouth is completely frozen. Its not cold here. I
cannot think straight, I just cant do it.
“Lets break up Kim Taeyeon. Goodbye.”
Thats it. Typical lines for breaking up for couples. Typical scenes I watch in the
movies. Packing up your stuffs into the bag, you walked to the door, without
looking back me, you reached the door, opened it, stepped out…and you left me.
Alone. You left me alone. I cannot say more, my tears flowing down my cheek andI could see earlier, you cried also. I dont know what to do, I cannot stop you. If I
stopped you, it means I am taking away your happiness too. So I just let you go.
‘If thats make you happy Fany-ah, I cannot say no to it.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 3/537
You finally left me. You left me because I cannot choose. Maybe if I chose you,
you would be still here, beside me, in my arms.
……………………………………………………………………………
8 months later.
“I heard, today we are going to have a new director. And the most important thing
is, our new director is a woman!” Jo Kwon cannot hide his excitement about the
new director who is coming to their company.
“Really? A woman? What is her name? I better prepare myself.” Hearing the news,
Boom is running to the restroom, preparing him self. The other staffs are just
laughing at his action.
The staffs in the company are excited for the new director. A woman. Their
previous director is a man. To make it worse, the man is really mean, alwaysasking them to work and complaining their works though their works are really
good and fine. Seriously, who really can live with that kind of director? Hearing
that the new director is coming is like giving them a year of day off.
“Guys stop it okay. Gosh…it seems you guys have not seen a woman for centuries.
The new director must be freaked out to know your behavior like this. She might
as well want to be transferred.” Being the secretary of the company, Tiffany
Hwang is already used with the chaos that the employees created.

“Tiffany, do you, by any chance, know when will the new director is coming? I
cannot wait. I need to give her my brightest smile ever and show my charms. And I
need to make her fall in love with me. And I will-“
“Boom, for god sake, it is too early for that. Do you even know her age? What if
she is around 40s, do you still want her? I dont think so. And I have no idea when
shes coming. Typical behavior of director, I guess. Coming late, but have high
salary. Huh.” Boom who is coming from the restroom approached Tiffany,
thinking that she knew about the new director. Hearing Tiffanys reply, Boom is
frowning. Worried what if the new director is really in her 40s. Its going to be hell
again.
Tiffany walked to her desk which is located across the directors room and
continued her job. At the back of her head she is also wondering about the new
director. What she knew about the new director is only that the director is coming
from overseas and she had just succeeded with her new project. A big project. But
she cannot find an answer to why Mr. Kim the real owner of the company wanted
Mr. Park to be replaced with this new director.
‘She must be a talented woman then.
Tiffany wanted to continue her job but was distracted when she saw a photo of her
girlfriend in the photo frame, standing on her desk. She took it and smile.
‘I miss you…Kwon Yuri

I Am Back
A long-haired and tanned woman just stepped out from the airport.
“I am back, Tiffany. I miss you.”
A smile formed on her face.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Inhaling the new fresh air, she feels like in heaven. Finally, I am coming home.
‘Its been 8 months now.
Looking at her surroundings, observing the people, sometimes she cannot help but
smiles seeing the scenes in front of her. She missed Korea so much. She missed
home.
‘I miss her
Waiting for someone to pick her up from the airport, the woman cannot help but to
think of a certain someone. Truthfully, she is missing someone…so badly. Back to
Korea is like a dream come true. Finally, she can search for her love, come back to
her love, and finally, in her mind, she could see her soon and hoping that she could
meet her soon. Finally.
‘I am back, Fany-ah.

…………………………………………………………………
“Hello.”
“Tiffany, come down.”
“What? Wait, Yuri?”
“Tiffany, I am back, come down. I am down at Mr. Kims company now.”
Tiffany is a bit slow to digest the information. After a while, she finally received
the information.
“Baby, youre back already?! Wait, I am coming down!”
Tiffany ran to the elevator, excited to meet Yuri. Yuri, her girlfriend. She is just
coming back from a business trip for 3 weeks. They missed each other as they
cannot call each other often.
Tiffany ran to Yuri once she spotted the younger girl waiting outside the company.
Yuri is offering her arms for Tiffany to hug her. Tiffany gladly hugged her
girlfriend. She cant hide her happiness and excitement upon knowing Yuri is
back. She is happy to see Yuri. It seems her world is complete now. She thinks.
“Babe, I miss you.” Breaking the hug, Yuri looked at Tif fany, smiling.
“I miss you too. I miss you so much Yuri-ah. Why you didnt tell me that youre back? I can pick you, you know.”
“A surprise for you actually. Besides, I dont want to disturb you. After all youre
one of the busiest workers here since youre the secretary. So I dont want to
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 7/537
burden you.” Yuri is now caressing her girlfriends cheek with her right hand. Her
skin is smooth, she thinks.
“It is not a burden Yuri-ah. When it comes to you, I am even willing to take my
day off, seriously.” Tiffany is pouting after hearing the word burden. For her, Yuri
will never be a burden to her. Yuri makes her happy and she will do anything for
Yuri on how grateful she is being with the girl.
Looking at each other deeply, both knew what their heart wants. They missed each
other. Missed each others touch. No words need to be spoken. Yuri leaned
forward, trying to kiss Tiffany. Tiffany is hesitating at first, but since shes missingYuri so much, so she didnt budge. Knowing that Tiffany is not going to push her
away, Yuri leaned in further and giving a peck on her girlfriends lips. A short kiss.
It means a world to both of them.
“Thank you Yuri-ah.” Blushing, Tiffany cannot hide her smile.
Across the company, someone is silently watching the couple. Observing them.
‘She really has moving on. What the others told me is true, Fany found someone
already
Kim Taeyeon rolled up the window of her car. Sigh. A tear escape from her eyes.
She failed to control her emotion. Her body is suddenly shaking. Seeing Tiffany
received the kiss even though they were in the public just made Taeyeon hurt
more. She is wondering whether the couple is aware of their surroundings.
Taeyeon placed her hand at the chest. It is still beating, so fast. She is still alive,
still survive.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 8/537
‘Am I not that important?
Taeyeon finds herself such a fool for asking that question. She already knows the
answer. Of course she is no one. Tiffany left her. It seems that Taeyeon is still
denying the fact, the truth that she was left by Tiffany. She is still hurt inside. She
is still crying at nights. She is still thinking of her. 8 months…how can she forget
Tiffany in that time? Even for years, Tiffany is still in her heart. That is what she
believes.
Kim Taeyeon, who is just coming back from overseas after succeeding the big
project, left the scenes and drives to her home.
‘I miss home
‘………….but I miss you even more.
The first paragraf is Yuri's POV, second is Taeyeon's
The Arrival
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 9/537
The company is still in chaos when the new director has not come to report herself
since yesterday. Lots of rumors are spreading about the new director just because
she did not turn up at the supposed time. Well, most of the rumors are made by
none other than Boom.
“Why do you think the new director did not turn up yesterday?” Boom has
attracted the workers attention. He is really great when making up stories.
“I heard the new director is meeting Mr. Kim yesterday.” One of the ladies said,
informing the others with the new information that she got from her friend in the
morning earlier.
“I think, the new director is not qualified to be in this position yet. Perhaps Mr.
Kim is still hesitating about her ability. I heard she is young and new in this field.
And the position of director is no joke.”
“Hmm…I dont think so. I mean, why in the first place she is selected by Mr. Kim.
That man does not easily select anyone to run his company. Lets think of that. Or
perhaps…” Boom put his hand over her mouth.
“Omo! I think..Mr. Kim wants to keep the new director as his wife s ince I heard
the new director is young and beautiful and all that, you know he has not married
since what…if thats happen, then there will be a higher chance that the cruel Mr.
Park is coming back! Oh My God!”
Gasps could be heard across the room. Soon the room is filled with whispers
among each other. They are considering of what Boom has said earlier. Thinking
of Mr. Park, the workers can only gulp.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 10/537
Seeing the situation, Tiffany is just shaking her head.
“Boom, just look what you have cause now. You are making unnecessary
delusional thoughts and your invalid theories are now scaring them. I dont
understand why they hire you at the first place.”
“What? Tiffany, I am just letting out my opinions. Sharing is caring.”
“And to answer your question, it is because, they cant resist my charms.” Boom
continued and smiles proudly.
Hearing that JoKwon just simply replied, “Eww…disgusting.”
JoKwon turned his attention to Tiffany.
“Tiffany, by any chance, do you know when is the new director is coming?”
.....................................
Parking her black Mercedes Benz SLK55 AMG Roadster, looking at the mirror,
fixing her hair, grabbing her office bag, Taeyeon is ready to go.
Walking to the building, with her high heels clicking on the ground and
unconsciously, she is actually attracting attention. People are whispering with each
other asking who she is. Kim Taeyeon gives her best smile to the workers, ignoring
the whispers and she went straight to the elevator, going up, to her new office.
“I can do this. I am ready to hold the position, ready to take the huge responsibility,
ready to face everyone.” Kim Taeyeon said to no one but herself. She is honestly
nervous, perhaps she is scared of others reactions or others judgments towards
her. After all, this is still new for her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 11/537
‘I am ready to face and meet her too…soon
The elevator is already opened, she stepped out from it.
“Hwaiting!”
Taeyeon then slowly walked to the hallway, leading to a large area where it is
filled up with the desks, small offices and lots more. She has learnt almost
everything about the company before she took the offer from Mr. Kim. Entering
carefully the large room, she can hear the conversation between the workers. It
seems like nobody smells her presence. Perhaps due to her small petite body or
maybe her complicated height. Sigh.
Taeyeon spotted a room labeled ‘Director and she walked carefully towards the
room. She is still amazed with the workers who are not aware of her presence.
‘Am I really a ninja here?
While walking to the office, she looked around, hoping to look for a certainsomeone.
There.
She could see her. She could see Tiffany. Her smiles, her eye smile. She missed it.
Her heart beats faster.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 12/537
Taeyeon thanked to her heels for making that clicking sound, now that everyone
starts to aware of her presence.
Including her, including Tiffany.
Eyes are following her. She didnt care of the looks that they are giving to her.
‘They must be talking about my height now
Taeyeon finally standing in front of her room labeled ‘Director on it. She is
looking at it for a while. Silently, she thanks Mr. Kim for not labeling the room as
‘Director Kim Taeyeon. Feels that she had cause a scene and she also aware that
most of the eyes are landing on her small body, Taeyeon turned around, facing the
workers.
‘Finally they see me
“Who is this midget kid?” She could hear it. She cant help but blame her gene.
Sigh again.
The room went silent. She looked around the room.
Taeyeon can spot Tiffany.
‘I can see you now Fany-ah. I can see you every day now. But I am not sure how to
face you. You have someone already
Sigh.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 13/537
Being a professional she is, Taeyeon decided to introduce herself. She already
practiced her lines for many times. It is just a simple introduction and yet she is
still unsure and feeling uncomfortable. She hates this feeling. Taeyeon however
does not want to left bad impression in her first encounter with the workers. Breath
in, breath out. Feeling that her body is relaxing a bit, Taeyeon opens her mouth.
“Annyeong haseyo. I am the new director.” Gasps can be heard.
Taeyeon takes off her shade.
“I am the daughter of Mr. Kim.”
“I am, Kim Taeyeon.”
Hearts
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 14/537
“I am, Kim Taeyeon.”
My eyes are not lying. My ears must not hearing things.
I look away.
My heart…it is beating much faster. This is not normal.
I am trembling. My body is shaking.
‘Is that really Kim Taeyeon?
I asked myself. It feels weird. My stomach is feeling strange.
I look at her again. The woman is really Kim Taeyeon. I knew her just by looking
at her eyes. That onxy eyes. She looked at me. She found me.
‘Does she know me already?
After a while, she looked away.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 15/537
‘She doesnt remember me?
Her small body, her flawless skin, how can I forget about her? How can I forget
about someone who has once brought happiness to me? Someone who also took
the happiness away from me.
I observe the woman who is still standing in front of the directors room. Her
room. She has short blonde hair. That black office suite looks perfect on her body.
The memories of her suddenly rushed to my mind, processing it. Like a flashback.
I remember almost everything about her. I remember that I once lived with her. I
remember Taeyeon, I remember us. I also remember the last day, at her apartment.
It hurts. My heart, it hurts. Pain is all over my body.
‘Why? Why are you here now? Why does my heart feels hurt when we are not
even together?
……………………………………………
After my short introduction, I look at everyone. Shock, surprise, cannot believe it,
all written in their faces. I can see it.
‘I can also see that you are surprise, Fany-ah.
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 16/537
‘I am sorry Fany-ah. I am sorry because I just come back and turn up now. I am
sorry that we will meet each other every day. I am sorry because you will work
under me. And I am sorry if youre still hurt by me.
I hope I can tell you all that. I hope I can voice it out. But I know deep inside I
cannot. I know my limit, my capability. I am a coward. Still a coward even though
its already 8 months since that incident.
‘Since you left me
I cannot look at you straight in the eyes, so I look away. Knowing that you are not
mine is just further crushing my heart. My soul, my mind, my heart, they are not in
the right places after hearing the news from my cousin, Sunny, telling me that you
have found someone when I am working in the overseas, working for the big
project.
‘Working. Because of it we are apart
Seeing you happily with your girlfriend yesterday just broke my heart into pieces. I
know I have no right to judge. I have no right to control your life. I am not in a
right position to have such feelings. After all, I am just a useless jerk in your eyes.
I wished I own the time machine, going back to the past.
‘Going back to you
I wished I could reject the offer by my dad 8 months ago. But I know I cannot. He
is my father. I have to. I have to help him. I have to choose. I have no choices. He
made all the decisions. He is all right. I hate him. Of course I made it into a
success. But at the same time, I am also a loser, I lost you.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 17/537
After seeing the scenes yesterday, I decided to go to my apartment, where once we
lived together. But before that, I went to my dads house. Yeah, I did not live with
him. Not anymore since that incident.
‘Since mom had passed away
Dad praised me and said he was happy to have a successful daughter like me. I
think he is greedy, he is selfish. He is just thinking about his life, the company and
the money. He is just using me. I knew it. But I still have to listen to him and do
what he asked me to do. It is because my mother asked me to do so. And that is
one of her last wishes before she closed her eyes, forever.
I turn around and reach for the knob of the door. I turn it around and my feet bring
me to my office. It is big. I am impressed. I walk around. I like this room. So
peaceful.
‘I hope at least my heart can find a peace in this room
……………………………………………………………………………….
“She is our new director?! The daughter of Mr. Kim?!” JoKwon raised his voice,
asking to no one.
The workers looked at each other. Still cannot believe it.
“But she seems like an underage kid. How can she run the company?” One of the
ladies questioned.
“Yeah…I never once saw her in this company. I am sure she has no idea about this
company. ”

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 19/537
disappoint you, and I hope we can create a great team work in the future and I am
looking forward to it.
“Well, I guess, I need to arrange a meeting then. Ah…by the way, I am not an
underage kid, I am 24 and I study about this company before. Remember that.”
With that, Taeyeon walked back to her office room.
“See that? Director Kim is falling into my charm!! She really likes me!” Boom is
jumping like a kid, celebrating alone. People around him just shook their head and
walked away, leaving him alone.
“I swear Boom is not a normal person.” JoKwon said and went back to his desk.
The door of directors office is opening again, revealing the small body.
Tiffany turned her head to the door.
“Who is the secretary? May I see the secretary for a while?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 20/537
Seeing You
After calling for the secretary, I went back to my office. I look outside the big glass
window; the scenery is quite nice from here. I can see the cars passing by. The
weather is nice too. It is sunny. The sun is shining so bright, I cover my eyes. But I
like the atmosphere. So peaceful.
Knock Knock.
I can hear someone opened the door. I did not turn around…yet. Soon, I hear
footsteps against the floor. It is coming, seems so near to me. The person spoke.
“Annyeong haseyo, director Kim. I am the secretary of this company. My name
is….”
………………………………………
After Taeyeon had finished her conversation with her father, Taeyeon decided to
go home, to her apartment. Though she left her apartment for 8 months already, her
cousin Sunny lived there, so she is not worried about her apartment. Sunny is
accompanied with her lover, Sooyoung. Taeyeon is wondering what her cousin did
in her house with her girlfriend when she was not around.
“Ms. Kim.” Manager Park approached her. He is Mr. Kim personal assistant.
Taeyeon turned around and raised her eyebrow. She could see manager Park was
holding a black file and it was quite big. The man gave the file to Taeyeon.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 21/537
“This is the file containing the information about the company. You need to at least
know the simple things about the company. Also, there are some of the employees
that you need to know as you will be working with them closely.”
Taeyeon took the file. Employees? Taeyeon already knows some of them actually.
And one of them is Tiffany. She received the position was not because of Tiffany
though, well maybe part of it is because she wanted to see Tiffany again, but the
biggest reason is because of her father. Or more like Taeyeon was forced to take
the responsibility.
Taeyeon looked at the 40-year-old man in front of her. She smiled. Taeyeonwalked to the man and hugged him.
“Welcome back Taeyeon-shi.” Manager Park hugged her back. He brushed her
hair so gently.
“Congratulation. You really work hard enough. I am proud of you. I am sure Mr.
Kim is also proud of you too.”
Upon hearing her fathers name, Taeyeon stepped back. She was not in a mood
since she came to the house earlier. She let out a long sigh. Manager Park knows
well why Taeyeon was like that. Mr. Kim has a bad relationship with her daughter.
They always argue with each other ever since his wife has passed away. Manager
Park however does not want to be involved between the two, he just trying to help
the two to improve their relationship but always failed.
“Thank you, Manager Park. Our family owes you a lot.” Taeyeon then went to her
car and drove to her apartment, leaving Manager Park.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 22/537
After about an hour, Taeyeon reached her apartment. She took her time to rest her
mind and body for a while in the car. Headache. Taeyeon closed her eyes. The
memories of Tiffany hugging her girlfriend were playing in her mind. She felt her
heart hurt again. Taeyeon opened her eyes, trying to erase the memories.
‘I am going to see her tomorrow though. It is going to be awkward
Taeyeon looked at the black file and took it. She opened it, flipping the page one
by one. She stopped when she came across to a familiar face, Tiffany. Taeyeon
smiled seeing Tiffanys eye smile.
‘I miss her so much
She read Tiffanys profile. Her smile soon wiped out from her tired face. Her eyes
wide opened after reading the last information that she got about Tiffany. About
Tiffanys position in the company.
“Directors secretary?!”
………………………………………………………………………………
“Annyeong haseyo, director Kim. I am the secretary of this company. My name
is….”
‘I miss her voice
“Stephanie Hwang”
‘So she does not want me to call her with Tiffany? Fine.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 23/537
I turn around and ready to face her. My heart started to race again. I look at
Tiffany.
‘I hate this feelings
Our eyes met for the first time. Beautiful. I almost say that out loud. Tiffany
looked at me, straight in the eyes. I know this is so common, but the time seems to
stop from tickling. It seems like we froze in our spot.
‘Fany-ah, I miss you so much
I look at her. That flawless hair. Her eyes, her cute nose. Her lips. She is a bit thin.
“Ehem.” She coughed. Breaking the silence.
“Director Kim, why do you want to see me? Anything that I can help?” She is so
relax while me, my heart is almost collapsed.
‘She has move on
I think I am disappointed seeing her reaction. But I cannot show it to her. I must be
professional. I dont want to show her that I am actually weak inside.
“Uh…yeah about that. Since today is my first day here, I need all the files about
this company including all the information about the employees. Actually I already
received some of the information about this company from Manager Park but I
think it is not enough.”
I look at her all this time. She is writing something. I look at her soft hand. I miss
holding that hand. My eyes caught on something. The ring.

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 26/537
My tears almost slipped out. I breathed in and breathed out. I think it is better to
introduce myself with Stephanie. Not that I dont want her to call me with Tiffany,
it is just that I want to be professional. Yeah, professional. I tried to relax in front
of her when actually my mind is wondering around. I just want this to over soon, I
want her to finish this soon. When she is finished with what she wanted to say, I
am really thankful. I can go out from the room, I can make a distance between us.
Sigh.
Some of the workers are already left for their lunch. I frowned. I am hungry. I peek
around. Through the glass-wall, I can see director Kim is working, writing onsomething.
Ring ring.
I picked up my phone. Seeing Yuris name on it, I cant help but smile.
“Hello Yuri.”
“Hi baby. Do you want to go out lunch with me? Its been a long time.” I miss her
voice.
“Yuri-ah, I also want to go out with you. But I have work to do. I need to finish
this for the meeting in the afternoon.” I can just pout.
“Cant you leave it for a while Tiffany? You need to eat to work.” Yuri is not
satisfied.
“I know. But I cannot leave my work, Yuri-ah.” I use my aegyo.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 27/537
Tiffany did not realize that a pair of eyes is watching her, hearing her conversation
with Yuri. The person is not feeling happy hearing that sweet conversation.
‘Yuri. That must be her girlfriend
“Yuri-ah, I am sorry. Maybe we could eat next tim-“
“Stephanie-shi, you can eat first. You need to eat. Just dont be late.”
Tiffany looked to the owners voice. Taeyeon can see that Tiffany is surprised.
“Err...yes, director Kim”
“Ill meet you later, Yuri.” I end the call. I looked at director Kim again, she just
smiled at me. But her smile is not that happy-smile. I wonder why.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 28/537
Awkward
"So Tiffany, I heard Mr. Kim's company have a new director." Yuri asked as soon
they sat at the cafe near Mr. Kim's company. Tiffany requested Yuri to take her to
the nearby cafe for their lunch knowing her unfinished works are still waiting. She
didnt want to be late coming back to the office.
"Wow...news is spreading really fast, huh. Yeah, we got new director this
morning." Tiffany answered uninterested, hoping that Yuri would ask different
questions next. Afraid of Yuris unexpected questions knowing that the younger
girl loves to ask.
"Who is the new director then? I heard the new director is a woman." Tiffany
already expecting this coming from Yuri.
'Shall I tell her about the new director?'
Tiffany was staring at Yuri. Hesitating to answer that question.
"Well, she is Mr. Kim's daughter."
Tiffany paused.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 29/537
"Her name is Kim Taeyeon, if you are curious."
She looked at her girlfriend now. Waiting for her reaction. Tiffany could see that
Yuri was frowning. She can see that Yuri was thinking of something. Both of them
did not say anything. Tiffany started to regret her action of what she just said.
"Kim Taeyeon? I think I have heard that name. Let's see...where could it be?"
'She is my previous girlfriend'
Yuri stopped thinking. She turned her head to Tiffany. Looking at Tiffany in the
eyes. Yuri leaned forward and took her girlfriend's hand. Holding it tightly. Tiffany
was nervous. Yuri's expression was changing now. She is serious. Yuri has never
been serious like this before, not with this expression. Tiffany was feeling uneasy
with the look that Yuri gave to her.
'She must have something in her mind now'
"Fany, don't tell me that this Kim Taeyeon is..."
Honestly, I am not prepared for this. Yuri must be not pleased to know that I am
working with someone that has broken my heart before. She is always caring and
that's why I am attracted to her. When I broke up with Taeyeon, I went to the club

Excited was all written on Yuri's face. I wonder why she was so happy about this.
Why the name Kim Taeyeon can bring a smile to her face while me, when I heard
that name, a part of me is struggling, trying to search for the air, I am trying to
break free. Trying to run away.
Free from that name.
"Yeah, she is that Kim Taeyeon. Yuri, why are you all excited like this, about this?
So what if she had won that big project? I don't find that is amusing. I think it is
possible though for a regular someone to get the project."
"What?! No!” again she half screaming.
“Tiffany, that is so unexpected because that project is no joke, it is so big and
risky. I heard lots of other successful businessmen gave up while working on that
project. I dont know about this Kim Taeyeon before, I am sure she is not popular
though and when I heard she managed to get the project, I am impressed. In
addition, Kim Taeyeon is a woman. It is rare to see a woman who really works
hard just to get that project. I wonder why and what drove Kim Taeyeon to get that
project. She could be blamed if she lost that big contract...well you know how Mr.
Kim is right. He is so strict.”
Hearing Yuris explanation, I started to think. I knew that Taeyeon was working
something big before we broke up. She had told me before. But before that, she
also had handled big tasks too and she never abandoned me. So when she left me
for her works almost in every possible time, I felt broken. I need to see her too. I
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 32/537
need her love. I need us to be together. Taeyeon always came home late and she
left early. We barely talk and that's when I felt Taeyeon loves her work then me.
Honestly, I have no idea and I not even care about her job. For me, what matter is
that we love each other. I don't even know that she is Mr. Kim's daughter until this
morning. I was surprised after hearing her introduction. Taeyeon never told me too.
Thats mean that she is also rich. But weird, Taeyeon never acted like a rich
daughter. I remember she told me that she had no money and thus she had to
borrow some from me. And thats why also she needs to work hard, to make the
money for both of us when in fact I am also working, but not in Mr. Kims
company. But as the time goes by, Taeyeon seems loves to work and she loves to
make money and forget about me. When I thought about that, I am sad, I am upset.
Job and money are more important to her.
"Ah...whatever Yuri. Let's stop this, okay. I am hungry and the time is tickling. I
haven't done my works and I need to come back early. So shall we take an order?"
Tiffany successfully ended the conversation although Yuri actually got some more
to ask her girlfriend. Tiffany has lots in her mind already and she doesnt want to
think of something that she believes is her past.
The two ordered for their lunch and talk about Yuri's trip business. Yuri was given
the responsibility by her father to meet some clients in the overseas to discuss their
companys new project. Unfortunately, the clients were not confident with Yuris
presentation and thus she went back with empty-handed.
After the two finished their lunch, Yuri sent Tiffany back to Mr. Kims company.

It is nearly 2pm. Meeting is going to start soon.
‘Finally I manage to prepare these files. ‘
Tiffany made her way to the conference room. She put the files on the desk,
arranging them neatly. Soon, the head of departments are coming, taking their
seats. They were talking with each other, asking what the meeting was all about.
Tiffany looked at her watch, 1:57pm. Director Kim has not arrived yet.
‘Shall I call her personally instead?
Tiffany then decided to assist director Kim to the conference room. She was on her
way to get the director Kim but then she stopped.
‘Isnt going to be awkward again?
Thinking the possibilities that she might encounter, Tiffany decided to just wait for
director Kim at the conference room. She was about to make her way back to the
conference room but then she heard someone called her.
“Stephanie-shi?”
Tiffany looked back.
Director Kim was calling her. Her new boss was approaching her. Every steps that
the older woman take, made her hard to breathe.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 34/537
“Everyone is already in the room?”
“Err..Y-yes director Kim. They are all waiting for you.”
“Good. Come on, dont want them to wait longer now.”
With that, both of them made their way to the conference room. Truthfully, the two
were actually felt nervous when seeing each other.
……………………………………….
“So, I hope in the future we can work hard in order to maintain and improve this
company. Thank you for coming to the meeting. I really appreciate it.”
Taeyeon ended her speech and she bow to each and every one of the heads of the
departments, shaking their hands and asked them to guide her in the process.
The conference room was empty, leaving Taeyeon and Tiffany. Both didnt know
what to do. Tiffany decided to gather back the files to avoid the awkwardness
though she can actually feel that the tension was still there. Taeyeon on the other
hand just watched Tiffany from afar. She also had no idea what to do. She did not
want to leave the girl alone though. Taeyeon decided to help Tiffany carrying the
files and walked to the younger girl.
“Stephanie-shi, let me help you with the files.” Taeyeon took some of the files
from Tiffany. Their hands brushed softly against each other and both Taeyeon and
Tiffany were surprised with the contact.
Tiffany was feeling weird again in her stomach.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 35/537
“I-it is okay, director Kim. Let me do this. I am already getting use to this.”
Tiffany took back the files from Taeyeon. Due to the stubbornness between the
two, the files dropped on the floor.
Taeyeon and Tiffany at the same time kneel down to get the files and they
accidently bumped their head with each other.
“Aww…” Both of them rubbing their heads.
“I-I am sorry, Stephanie-shi. I did not mean to do that. Were you hurt?” Concerned
could be seen in Taeyeons eyes. Feeling guilty, she started to rub Tiffanys head
on the spot where she believed was hurt from the impact of the incident earlier.
Taeyeon did not realize her action. She continued to rub until she realized that
Tiffany was staring at her. Looking at her eyes.
That eyes.
They stopped. Looking at each other…deeply. Searching for something.
‘I miss her lovely touch. That concerned eyes.
Tiffany looked at that concerned eyes in front of her. Somehow, her heart was
saying something, trying to tell her but cannot figure out what it is.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 36/537
‘She is beautiful. So beautiful. I miss her
“Stephanie-shi…I-“
“Oh, here you are director Kim! I am searching for you the whole afternoon.”
Boom just came at the right timing, maybe.
Taeyeon and Tiffany turned their heads to Boom. Disappointed with his sudden
appearance. They get on their feet and the two smiled to each other awkwardly.
“Boom-shi, why are you looking for me?”
“Director Kim, I heard you asked Tiffany to guide you around this company. So I
requested Tiffany to bring me along. She agreed. At least, it is better to have a man
in between to protect both of you, just in case. Also, at the same time, we can learn
about each other.” Boom smiled shyly.
Taeyeon was again disappointed. She just wanted to be alone with Tiffany and not
this clown Boom. Taeyeon wanted to protest but she decided not to because she
felt that Tiffany might get awkward when there were only both of them.
“If thats the case, then I am okay. Lets go then.”
Taeyeon can see Boom was celebrating and danced crazily but she just let him go,
still tired from a long journey of yesterday.

………………………..
Taeyeon was the last one to get back from the office. She switched off all the lights
and took the elevator. Taeyeon walked to the main entrance and the automatic
glass door opened. She took the stairs. Her feet were suddenly frozen on the spot.
She stopped. And so her heart.
In front of her was a familiar car that she had seen yesterday…and also Tiffany.
Tiffany opened the door and greeted Yuri. She got into the car and gave Yuri a
peck on the lips. Tiffany didnt realize that someone was watching her. She was
about to close the door but then she realized that a figure was standing on the
stairs, watching her. Looking at her with those hurtful eyes. But Tiffany cant
interpret that look.
Their eyes met.
Taeyeon was the first one to break the moment. Taeyeon looked away. Soon
Taeyeon made her way to her car. Tiffany was feeling guilty. Part of her was
blaming herself. Another part of her said that she should not have those feelings as
she has no special relationship with Taeyeon anymore.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 38/537
Taeyeon went to her car. She closed her eyes. Trying to get rid of the scenes that
she has witnessed earlier. She failed to erase it.
Not long after that, Taeyeon felt her face was damped.
Her tears were flowing.
Her heart was bleeding again.
8/9/2019 Between the Two

Strange Feelings
It has been a week already Taeyeon works as a director in her fathers company. It
is hard at first to get use to her current position. Manager Park sometimes comes to
her, checking and monitoring her works. She understands that he was asked by her
father. Taeyeon has been busy with all the paper works that she had to go through
and she has no time for lunch.
Her cousin, Sunny and Sooyoung, Sunnys girlfriend visited her sometimes
bringing the food knowing that the older girl would skip her lunch when she was
occupy with her work. Sunny moves out from Taeyeons apartment as soon as the
older girl went back to Korea. She lives with Sooyoung. Sunny knows Taeyeon too
well. She knows how heart-broken Taeyeon is. But she could not do anything other
than checking on the older girl from doing anything stupid that can harm herself.
She was surprised to now that Tiffany also works under the same company withTaeyeon. She thinks it is a bit difficult for Taeyeon to move on since Tiffany is
always there in Taeyeons eyes.
Taeyeon always went home late. She always makes sure that everyone already left
before she got home. To be accurate, she wanted to make sure Tiffany would go
home first before her. Taeyeon quite often see Tiffany went home with Yuri. She
tried to avoid looking at the couple but failed miserably. In the office, Taeyeon did
not talk with Tiffany that much although they were supposed to communicate more
often since Tiffany is the secretary. She just cant handle her feelings whenever
seeing the one that she loves. Yes, Taeyeon still loves Tiffany. She cannot deny it.

………………..
‘Tomorrow I am going to start working again
The woman is preparing her staff for tomorrow. She is happy with her vacation
with her family, but she also missed her friends at the company and she missed her
daily job though it is tough.
‘Cant wait for tomorrow
………………….
Taeyeon went out from her apartment, ready for work. She put her bag at the back
seat. Wearing her shade, Taeyeon is ready for another day at work. Taeyeon is
speeding off to the company. On her way to the company, her eyes caught on
someone. She can see the woman waving at the passing cars, perhaps asking for
help. Unfortunately, she was ignored. Taeyeon passed the woman. Looking at herwatch, Taeyeon finds it is still early. She decided to stop her car and help the
woman. Taeyeon went out and walked to the woman who was still asking for help.
“Err...Hello.”
Taeyeon tapped her shoulder. The woman turned her body to Taeyeon.
“Do you need help miss?”
Still startled by Taeyeon action earlier, the woman did not respond.
“I see you waving earlier. I assume you need some help.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 41/537
The woman just came back to her senses.
“Oh, Hi. Sorry. I did not notice you earlier.”
Taeyeon just nodded.
“Uh…my car stops working. I think something is wrong with my car. I dont know
anything about the car so I am kind of panics. I am late for work for sure. I cannot
reach my sister too and thats why I am asking for help.”
The woman explained to Taeyeon. Taeyeon can see that the woman was a bit
exhausted.
“Hmm…truthfully, I also know nothing about cars. But I think I can help you by
asking my friends to check for your car. I can ask help from my friends if you
dont mind, miss.”
Taeyeon looked at the woman. The woman was happy to hear of what she just
said.
“Really? Oh thank goodness. Thank you. Thank you for coming and help me. I
owe you Miss…er..?”
“Taeyeon.”
“Ah…Thank you so much Taeyeon-shi for helping me. Seriously, I dont know
what to do if you did not come. I owe you Taeyeon-shi.” The woman took
Taeyeons hand and she felt her body was moving forward, towards the woman.
Soon Taeyeon felt that the woman hugged her. Taeyeon was startled with her
action, but she did not push her though. Taeyeon understands that the woman
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 42/537
might be scared and she was just feeling happy to find someone who is willingly to
help her.
After calling her friend, Taeyeon accompanied the woman. They went to
Taeyeons car because it was cold outside. Taeyeon did not want both of them to
catch cold. She started a conversation with the woman because she felt awkward.
And she doesnt like it.
“So, where do you want to go after this?” Taeyeon looked at the woman who
seems have a lot in her mind.
“Today is actually my first day of working. I am late already. My boss might scold
me later. I am sorry to burden you, Taeyeon-shi.” The woman sighed.
“Dont worry miss. It is not a burden. You just need to explain to your boss later. I
am sure your boss will understand you.” Taeyeon gave her sincere smile to the
woman.
The woman thinks that Taeyeons smile was cute. She looked at Taeyeons face
carefully.
‘Her skin is so flawless. Like a baby. So cute
Taeyeon realized that the woman was looking at her. She started to feel uneasy.
Taeyeon looked away.
“Youre so cute, Taeyeon-shi.” The woman compliments the older girl. Upon
hearing that, Taeyeon blushed. She thinks it is a bit weird to hear that coming from
that woman, from someone she just met and this person is a completely stranger.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 43/537
“Uhh...Thank you. I hear that often though. Haha..” Taeyeon laughed to erase the
uneasiness in her stomach.
“Taeyeon-shi.”
The woman called her. Taeyeon turned around facing the girl. She raised her
eyebrow.
What she found next was totally unexpected.
The woman leaned forward to Taeyeon and made Taeyeon freeze in her spot. Her
breathing rate is not normal again.
‘What is she doing right now
The woman leaned forward and she looked at Taeyeon with her lovely eyes.
So deep. So deep that it touches Taeyeons heart. Taeyeon stared at the eyes and
she gasped. Their faces were just inches away.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 44/537
“Err..M-miss…”
“You have something on your face, Taeyeon-shi.” The woman brought her hand to
Taeyeons face. She touched it and finally remove what she believed was a dust.
Taeyeon can only looked at her action.
“There. Done.” The woman blew the dust and returned to her seat. Dazed, Taeyeon
blinked her eyes for a couple of times. Her heart is surely not normal now, she
thinks.
Ring ring.
Taeyeon realized her phone was ringing. She picked up the call and talked to the
person on the other line. She looked at the back and saw her friend was already
arrived.
“Miss, my friend is already coming. Come on and meet him.”
The woman nodded. The two stepped out from Taeyeons car and walked to the
man. After checking the car, the man said that the womans car needs to be sent to
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 45/537
the workshop. The woman just obeyed of what the other man said, just wanting her
car to be fixed as soon as possible.
“Thank you Taeyeon-shi. Thank you again. Youre so kind, I owe you a lot.” The
woman smiled at Taeyeon.
“It is okay. I am happy to help you. So, are you going to follow my friend to the
workshop? You sure you dont want me to send you to your office?” Taeyeon
asked, concerned.
“Yeah I am sure. You help me a lot already. I will try to contact my sister again
later.”
The two then have nothing to say but to look at each other. Taeyeon is attracted to
the persons lovely gaze.
“Well then, I think I need to go to my office now.” Taeyeon seems hesitating to
leave the woman. But she also doesnt want to force the woman to go with her.
“Yeah. It is nice to meet you, Taeyeon-shi.” The woman offered her hand again.
Taeyeon shook it. After saying goodbye to the woman and her friend, Taeyeon
started to walk away.
Taeyeon was on her way to her car when she heard the woman called her back.
Curious, Taeyeon looked back.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 46/537
“By the way, Taeyeon-shi, my name is Jessica. Jung Jessica.”
…………………………….
Taeyeon can only smile when she thinks of the woman.
‘She has a different personality
It is already 10:30am. Taeyeon has nothing to do. She is bored. From the glass wall
she can see the other workers are working on their computer. Tiffany. She can see
the younger girl was writing on something. Taeyeon sighed for unknowing
reasons. She spun her chair to the glass window now, looking outside at the city.
Knock knock.
“Come in.” Taeyeon simply said.
The person walked to the room. Taeyeon can hear the other person was breathing
heavily.
‘Must be Boom again. He is always nervous seeing me
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 47/537
Taeyeon decided not to turn around, dont want to see the other pers on to whom
she believes is Boom.
“Annyeong haseyo, director Kim.”
“I am your personal assistant.”

“Oh, Im sorry. I mean, director Kim.” She bowed again.
“Oh…Jessica-shi.” Taeyeon lost at words. She looked at the person in front of her.
Still cannot believe her own eyes. Her mind is still processing the information.
“W-what are you doing here?” Taeyeon asked the woman to sit. Jessica obeyed
and opened the chair, now facing Taeyeon.
“I guess it is a fate, director Kim. As I said earlier, I am your personal assistant.”
She smiled at Taeyeon.
“Personal assistant? What do you mean?”
“Well actually, my job is similar to the secretary, but the only difference is that I
am working closely with you. I can say that most of the time, I am going to be with
you. So if you have any meetings outside the company, then I am going to
accompany you. I hope that will help you to understand a bit about my position,director Kim.” Jessica explained to Taeyeon. She actually had no idea that the new
director is Kim Taeyeon that has helped her earlier. As soon as she arrived at the
office, Jessica approached Tiffany, asking for the new boss. Tiffany however did
not tell Jessica about their new boss and asked Jessica instead to personally meet
the new director.
“Oh…so you are going to be with me like…24-hours like that, Jessica-shi?”
Taeyeon raised her eyebrow.
“Exactly! I hope we can a great working spirit then, director Kim.” Jessica was a
bit excited knowing that she will be working with Taeyeon then her previous
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 51/537
director, Mr. Park. Jessica offered her hand. Taeyeon was still confused at her
action, but at the end, she shook it.
‘Jessica is surely different than any other worker. She is comfortable with me
“My table is just there, opposite Tiffanys desk. You can call me anytime you
want. Ill be around in any seconds.” She winked at Taeyeon now.
Taeyeon can only stare at Jessica. Surprised again with her attitude.
‘She is friendly too…and flirty
“Uhh..sure. Thanks.” Taeyeon let out her awkward laugh. She brushed her hair
hoping her goosebumps would be gone. She was feeling hot though the air
conditioner was working finely.
“Cute.” Jessica said out loud making the atmosphere turned a bit weird.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere in the room, Jessica opened her mouth once
more.
“Hmm…Ill proceed to my table now. And thanks again for helping me, director
Kim.” Jessica bowed for the last time and then she walked out from the room.

Tiffany on the other hand felt uncomfortable, uneasy after hearing Jessicas story.
Frown appeared on her face. She turned to look at Taeyeon through the glass wall
and saw Taeyeon was smiling brightly. She hasnt seen that smile for a long time.
She looked back at Jessica who was also smiling. Not wanting to disturb the girl,
Tiffany walked back to her desk, trying to continue her work. She cannot
concentrate. Her mind is not cooperating with her. And so her heart. She felt lost,
she needed air. She has no idea why she was behaving like that. Earlier she was so
cheerful knowing Jessica is going back to the company. But now, she did not feel
the same. It feels different.
‘Why I felt uncomfortable after Jessica told me her story?

Closer
Taeyeon was working on something when she heard a knock on the door. She
asked the person to come in. The door slowly opened, revealing her personal
assistant, Jessica. It was the second day of Jessica working. Taeyeon stopped
working on her computer and divert her attention to Jessica, wondering why she
came to her room.
“Director Kim, I hope I am not disturbing you as I have to inform your schedule
for this afternoon.” Jessica paused, waiting for Taeyeon to respond.
“Go on.”
“Okay. So far, you are going to have a meeting with a client discussing about their
project with this company, collaboration between the companies. It is going to be
on 3pm, at conference room. Tiffany had prepared the files. Some of the head of
departments are going to be there also.”
“Collaboration? What is this project all about?”
“I think it is about the project that was left by previous director Park, something
about introducing solar watches.” Jessica answered unsure.
“Okay, noted. Thank you for the information. Remind me later as I might forget
since I have to sign these files also.” Jessica saw bunch of files lying on Taeyeons
desk. Not wanting to further distracting her boss, Jessica went out, closing the door
carefully.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 55/537
Jessica was about to walk to her table when she heard someone called her name.
She stopped, looking at the person.
“Hey, Jessica! Welcome back! How was your vacation? Anything for us? For your
Boom-oppa?” Disgusted, she rolled her eyes and walked away from Boom,
ignoring the man. The man was following her to further annoy her. Not satisfied
when Jessica did not talk to him.
“Jessica, dont you miss me?” He blinked for several times. Trying to look cute.
“Because I miss you so badly.” She saw the man now pouted.
Sigh.
“Boom, as you can see I am really busy now. I have to prepare these paper works
for director Kim. So please, just do your work and dont disturb me. Gosh…youre
so annoying.”
“Ouch. Jessica~ please dont be mad. If you want, I can help you. Besides if it isfor director Kim, I am more than willing to help her.” Boom turned his direction to
Taeyeon now.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 56/537
“Just look at director Kim, she is hot when she is focusing on something.”
He was now looking at Jessica.
“Hey, do you want to know the hot news about director Kim?” Boom whispered to
Jessica. Jessica stopped from doing her works. She looked at Taeyeon and then to
Boom.
“Hot news? What do you mean? If you want to tell me that she is Mr. Kims
daughter, just forget about it, I knew that already.” Curious, she asked.
“Of course not about that. This is hotter than that.”
“Then what is it?”
JoKwon who were passing Jessicas table overheard the conversation. Not wanting
to miss the hot news, he approached the two silently.
Boom was now leaning to Jessica, whispering to her ear.
“Director Kim actually, has a feeling towards me. On the first day she came to the
office, her eyes were planted on me. Even now, she keeps on looking at me when
she walked out from her office. You know what, director Kim is falling for me
and-“
Upon hearing the ridiculous news from Boom, JoKwon hit him with the file on his
hand hard on the back of Booms head. Boom turned around and glared at him.
“Ouch! Yah!! What is your problem? Period? That was hard.” He is rubbing her
head feeling his world now spinning from the impact. Jessica who witnessed the
scene can just laugh.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 57/537
“Good for you. I hope youre awake now. I cant believe your imagination Boom.
It is getting worse each day. Just for your information, director Kim is not
interested at you. Not in million years. Full stop.” With that, JoKwon left the two,
waving his hand to Boom.
“Just what is wrong with him? Jealous?” Boom walked to h is table, still rubbing
his head.
Jessica can only shake her head, slightly felt sorry at Boom when JoKwon hit him.
The file is quite big and thick.
‘I wonder what type of person does she likes
……………………………………….
Knock Knock.
“Come in.”
Taeyeon looked at the person at the door. She stopped immediately when she saw
the person was Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 58/537
“Oh… Tiff - Stephanie-shi.”
Tiffany approached Taeyeons desk. She slightly smiled at Taeyeon. Seeing that,
Taeyeon heart skipped a beat.
‘She rarely smile at me
Taeyeon smiled back. She asked Tiffany to sit.
“Director Kim, I need you to sign these files. Here.” Tiffany showed the files.
Nervous actually.
Taeyeon took the files and signed them. She took her time signing those files. She
just wants Tiffany to stay a bit longer. At the corner of her eyes, Taeyeon was
actually eyeing Tiffany. She could smelt the perfume that the younger girl used.
‘Still the same perfume
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 59/537
Tiffany shifts uncomfortably in her seat. Eyes were wondering around. She tried to
avoid from looking at Taeyeon but failed miserably. Tiffany decided to look at
Taeyeon who was busy signing the files, hoping that Taeyeon would not notice.
‘So cute, so flawless.
Tiffany rests her eyes on Taeyeons face. Observing that onyx eyes. She missed
those lovely eyes. Her eyes then travelled to the older womans nose, then down to
her lips. Tiffany stopped there. She bites her lips.
‘Those plum lips. Those kissable lips.
Taeyeon finished signing the files. She looked up and noticed that Tiffany was
spacing out. Taeyeon tried to call her but it seems that Tiffany was in her own
world.
‘Those eyes…where is she looking at?
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 60/537
Seconds passed and the two were just looking at each other. Or more like Taeyeon
was looking at Tiffany who were observing her since she had no idea when.
Feeling her heart starts to beat faster, Taeyeon tried to call Tiffany again.
“Stephanie-shi…Stephanie-shi?”
Tiffany now realized that Taeyeon was calling her. She looked at her and now felt
embarrassed realizing her own action.
‘Did she notice me looking at her?
“Uhh…yes. I am sorry director Kim, I did not hear you. Have you finished signing
the files?”
“Yep. You can take it already.” Taeyeon gave back the files. Tiffany took it but
still remained in her seat.
Their eyes met once more.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 62/537
The meeting ended quite late and most of the staff went home already. Tired from
the constant works, Taeyeon decided to go home too. She looked at a certain table
and Tiffany was no longer there.
‘She is going home already, I guess
After finishing packing all her stuff, Taeyeon switched off the light and walked out
from the office. She took the elevator. Taeyeon said goodbye to some of the
workers who were still in the buildings. She brought her tired body to her car.
Sensing someone around the corner, Taeyeon turned to her right.
Tiffany.
‘I think she went home already. It wont hurt to talk for while, right?
Taeyeon made her way to the girl. She was preparing herself on what she was
about to say to Tiffany. Taeyeon was excited seeing the girl. Not long after that,
her excitement died immediately, she stopped in her track. A car now stopped in
front of the younger girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 63/537
Yuri.
Tiffany got into the car and Taeyeon can see that Tiffany was flashing her eye
smile to her girlfriend. Soon the car left the building, Taeyeon was left alone.
‘I should know this coming
Feeling dejected and hurt, Taeyeon walked back to her car. She was about to left
the building too when she noticed a figure standing at the main entrance.
‘Jessica?
Taeyeon drove her car to the main entrance, approaching her personal assistant.
She stopped her car and rolled down the window. Jessica was startled with the car
in front of her. She was busy with her phone, trying to reach her sister.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 64/537
‘This car is familiar
“Jessica-shi, are you waiting for someone?”
“Oh…director Kim.” Jessica walked closer to the car and bent down, looking at the
person inside the car.
“What are you doing? I thought you went home already.”
“Well…I kinda forgot to tell my sister to pick me up. My car is still at the
workshop. I tried to call my sister but she did not pick up.” Jessica is now
frowning. She tried to call her sister again, placing the phone on her ear.
Looking at her watch, Taeyeon still got time. Feeling concerned about her personal
assistant, Taeyeon spoke up.
“Jessica-shi, if thats the case, I can send you home. I am afraid your sister did not
get your message and you might be alone here.” Taeyeon was offering a ride home
to Jessica. She doesnt want Jessica to be alone in the building afraid if something
might happen to the girl.
Hearing the offer, Jessica was feeling happy. Truthfully, she was afraid when she
saw most of the workers were going home already. She did not want to be alone.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 65/537
“Really?” She asked, still not believing of what she heard.
“Yes. Come in. Get in now Jessica-shi.” Jessica opened the door and get into the
car.
“Thank you, director Kim. I owe you once again.” She smiled to the woman beside
her.
“No problem. And actually you can call me Taeyeon since we are not working
now.” Taeyeon chuckled.
“Alright then, Taeyeon-shi.” Jessica still doesnt want to drop the formality.
The ride was filled with Jessica sharing her stories about her vacation with her
family and how she got her position in the company. Taeyeon in turned told Jessica
why she accepted the job. The two constantly laugh. Taeyeon felt comfortable
around Jessica and Jessica actually feels the same too. Taeyeon who were at first
felt dejected now was happy talking to the woman beside her. For once, she can
focus than thinking about Tiffany the whole time.
The car now stopped in front of Jessicas house. Taeyeon looked at the house.
“You live alone in this big house?” She turned her head to Jessica.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 66/537
“No. I live with my sister.”
“Oh…” Taeyeon nodded.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Words are not needed at that time.
“Thank you again, Taeyeon-shi. You always help me.”
“Its okay. Its my responsibility anyway to take care of my employees.” Taeyeon
gave her sincere smile.
‘That smile again
“Aww~ youre so cute, Taeyeon-shi.” Jessica pinched the older girls cheek and
then went out from the car. Taeyeon was surprised and left speechless.
“Drive carefully Taeyeon-shi. Ill see you tomorrow. Goodbye.” With that Jessica
opened the gate and went to her house. Taeyeon was so slow, still processing in her
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 67/537
mind. Soon, she touched the cheek where Jessica had pinched her earlier and
smiles like a fool afterwards.
‘She is surely different

The Unexpected Meetings
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
“Is this Miss Kwon from Kwon Enterprise?”
“Ah…Yes. Who is this?”
“Hi. I am Miss Jung, calling from Kims Cooperation.”
“Kim Cooperation?!”
“Yes. Actually, director Kim was interested with your proposal that you have
submitted earlier this week. So, can you spare some time to come to our company
to discuss about the proposal?”
“I am always free and ready. When can I come to the company?”
“Great. Then how about next week on Monday, afternoon, after lunch about 2pm?”
“Okay, noted.”
“Thank you Miss Kwon for your time.”
“No…I should be the one who should have said that. Thank you miss…err…”
“Jung”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 69/537
“Ah yes. Thank you again, Miss Jung.”
“See you tomorrow. Goodbye.”
Yuri was celebrating after she ended the call.
‘Ill make a surprise for Tiffany
Yuri smiled.
‘The voice seems familiar though
That afternoon, Yuri asked Tiffany to go out for lunch. Tiffany did not ask Yuri to
pick her as she brought her car. The two meet at the café near Tiffanys working
place, their usual place for lunch. Yuri was the first one to come to the café. She
waited for Tiffany. While waiting, she ordered a glass of orange juice and picked
up the magazine nearby her place. 10 minutes already passed, Yuri still did not
spot any sight of Tiffany. She looked outside, hoping to see for her girlfriend. Yuri
decided to call Tiffany while looking outside. Tiffany picked up the call and told
Yuri that she was on her way to the café. Feeling bored, the younger girl just
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 70/537
wondered around the place. She stopped in front of the glass wall and looking at
the passing cars.
‘So crowded
Yuri looked at the left and her head slowly turned to the right. She stopped when
she taught she caught seeing something. She turned to look at the left once more.
There was a sight of a woman that caught her attention, standing just around the
corner. But Yuri cannot see her face since the woman was trapped in the middle of
the crowds. Trying to get a better look, Yuri moved forward a bit and searching for
the face. The woman wore a shade and looking down at the ground, her face was
still a mystery to Yuri. The crowds started to move and so the woman. Yuri went
outside, trying to search for the woman. She was just curious.
‘She looks like someone that I know
Yuris heart beat faster as the face of the woman seems to be clear to her sight.
Like a slow motion, the crowds were making a way for the woman, it was like the
crowds were now trying to reveal the woman for Yuri to look at. The woman was
moving slowly, slowly looking up, revealing her face. Yuris breath caught almost
immediately.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 71/537
‘Could it be the one that I was looking for…?
Yuri decided to make her way to the woman, she was starting to take her steps
when suddenly someone grabbed her arm. Yuri looked at the person who was
standing beside her.
“Yuri? What are you doing here?”
Tiffany.
“Huh? I…”
Yuri could not answer the question. She turned her head to the left once more,
searching for the woman. Unfortunately, she lost the woman.
‘Where is she?
Not giving up, Yuri looked everywhere for the girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 72/537
Lost. Disappointed.
“Hey babe. What are you searching for, huh?” Tiffany was now demanding Yuri to
answer her.
“Uhh..nothing. I thought I saw someone. Lets…lets just go inside.”
“Hmm…okay.” Tiffany was the first one to enter the café. Before going in, for last
time, Yuri looked at her left, searching for the face. Not getting what she wanted,
Yuri decided to go inside.
………………………….
Kim Cooperation was so busy since Taeyeon held the directors position. Lots of
meetings were arranged in order to introduce Taeyeon and also to discuss for the
incoming projects. So far, most of the projects were rejected by Taeyeon because
most of the proposals for the projects were common already. Taeyeon wanted
something new and unique. Sometimes Tiffany was feeling annoyed with Taeyeon
because she thinks that Taeyeon was demanding. And Tiffany was tired of
preparing the paper works. Taeyeon just likes to work. And Tiffany doesnt like it.
This is also the main reason why she broke up with Taeyeon. Taeyeon always
prioritize her work.
Tiffany also noticed that Jessica always went out with Taeyeon, getting closer to
Taeyeon. Well, that was because Jessica is Taeyeons personal assistant. She needs
to be around with Taeyeon to accompany the older girl for meetings. Tiffany
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 73/537
barely talked with Taeyeon. Sometimes Tiffany noticed that Taeyeon wanted to
initiate the conversation but Tiffany cut it short. Tiffany was still confused with her
feelings. She assumed that she got nervous around Taeyeon was because Taeyeon
was just her past and nothing more. She also aware that she has Yuri already and
her feelings is just for Yuri and not Taeyeon. After all, Tiffany cannot still forget
of what Taeyeon did to her and she cant still forgive Taeyeon for not being able to
choose between her and the job.
When Tiffany thinks about that, she has this feeling that she can tell that it is a
feeling of hatred. She hates Taeyeon for leaving her. Tiffany blames Taeyeon for
causing her to cry when the two broke up. She also noticed that the older woman
already knows that she already has Yuri, her girlfriend. At first, when Tiffany
caught Taeyeon seeing her with Yuri, Tiffany felt guilty. But right now, not
anymore. She doesnt care to show her love to Yuri when Taeyeon was around.
But at the same time, she can see that Taeyeon was not happy seeing her with Yuri.
Maybe Tiffany was selfish, but she did that purposely to let Taeyeon knows that
she could move on and survive without Taeyeon.
At this time, at this rate, Tiffany was confident and sure that she has no more
feelings for Taeyeon but only for Yuri.
…………………….
‘Today is the day. I will do my best. Yuri, Hwaiting!
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 74/537
Yuri prepared herself before she went to Kim Cooperation. The meeting was
supposed to be after lunch but she decided to make a surprise for Tiffany. Her
girlfriend didnt know that she is going to have a meeting with director Kim, the
one that Yuri wanted to meet the most because of what the older girl had achieved.
Yuri went to the company earlier. She parked her car and made her way to the
company. Yuri decided to go to Tiffanys office. She smiled just thinking of what
Tiffanys reaction going to be.
……………………..
It was nearly lunch time, Taeyeon was busy reading something on the screen of her
computer. Jessica had reminded her earlier that she is going to have a meeting with
Ms. Kwon from Kwon Enterprise after lunch. Taeyeon personally choose the
proposal from that company because she finds the proposal was quite unique,
something that she was looking for all this time. After she read the proposal,
Taeyeon did not hesitate to ask Jessica to call the company.
Thinking about Jessica, Taeyeon realized that she is getting closer to her personal
assistant. Perhaps because of her works are requiring Jessica to be around with her.
Taeyeon was actually happy to have someone to accompany her, no doubt. Beside,
Jessica always makes her smile and the girl loves to tease her. Sometimes, Taeyeon
wanted that kind of relationship to be exists between her and Tiffany. But she
knows better, that was almost impossible. Taeyeon does not want to believe it but
when she looked at Tiffany in the eyes, she cant see the love anymore. She can
only see the love when Tiffany was looking at Yuri. Taeyeon wanted to move on
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 75/537
by working most of the time but failed. She lost. Her feeling for Tiffany is so deep
that it was almost impossible for her to move on.
‘It is just me to have this feeling?
……………….
Most of the workers are already gone for their lunch. Tiffany was still stuck with
her works. She asked to meet Yuri for lunch but the girl rejected her, saying that
she was busy. Tiffany was disappointed. Yuri never rejects her offer for lunch. But
she didnt mind though.
Sigh.
‘I need to rest a bit
Tiffany leaned back to her chair. She looked up, at the ceiling. Headache. Tiffany
placed her palm on her forehead, massaging it while closing her eyes. Soon, she
felt there was another hand, closing her eyes. Panicked, Tiffany held the hand that
was placed over her eyes and trying to look at the person. Tiffany opened her eyes.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 76/537
“Yuri?!” She placed her hand over her mouth, eyes wide opened. Not believing her
own eyes.
“Yuri, what are you doing here?” Tiffany was now standing in front of Yuri.
“Well…surprise~” The younger woman laughed afterwards.
“Actually, I have a meeting later here. So I decided to surprise you. And I think it
works.”
“Of course. You said earlier that you were busy and now, youre standing in front
of me.”
“Ahh~ about that. I hope you wont mind I didnt tell you the truth. Youre not
mad right, babe?” Yuri was now holding both of Tiffanys hands, caressing it
softly, hoping her girlfriend would not get mad.
“I am not mad, babe. Instead I am happy to see you here.”
“But I miss you…” She continued, now whispering to Yuri.
Yuri smiled. Sensing that no one was around and only the two of them in that
room, Yuri started to leaned forward. Their foreheads were now touching each
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 77/537
other, noses were brushing against each other, enjoying the moments together.
Yuri was now leaning closer…
…………
Taeyeon just realized that it was already lunch time. She was too busy until she
forgot to take a break. Looking outside the big window, she noticed that the clouds
were black; it is going to be raining. Feeling thirsty, Taeyeon grabbed her mug and
decided to make a drink for herself. She walked to the door, opening it slowly.
Taeyeon looked up.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 78/537
She stopped in her track. Frozen in the place.
She saw the scene in front of her.
Yuri was leaning closer to Tiffany, closing the gaps between their lips.
Taeyeons eyes were almost gone out from the socket. Mouth wide opened.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 79/537
Her heart stopped from beating.
She lost her grip. The mug slipped from her hand.
SMASH!
The mug shattered into pieces…just like her heart.
Yuri was about to kiss Tiffany when a sudden loud noise interrupting their
moment. Shocked, the two turned their head to the source of the noise.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 80/537
There.
They saw Taeyeon…frozen in her place.
……………….
Tiffany turned her head immediately to the sound. She saw Taeyeon, her mouth
was wide opened.
“Director Kim…” Tiffany can only call the name soft, almost whispering. She was
also shocked. Shocked from the noise, shocked seeing Taeyeon standing there.
Taeyeon realized that two pairs of eyes were looking at her. Still processing the
information, Taeyeon can only utter sorry to the both of them. Panicked, she bent
down, trying to gather around the pieces of the mug that were lying on the floor.
Her mind cannot function very well, she was in a mess, and she did not even
realize that her hand was already bleeding from the pointed edges of the brokenmug that had penetrated her hand. The cut was quite deep, but not that deep when
it was compared to the cut in her heart. Her heart was bleeding….bleeding once
more.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 81/537
“Omo! Director Kim!” Jessica shouted upon seeing Taeyeons hand was bleeding.
She just came back for a small meeting, representing Taeyeon. Jessica ran
hurriedly to Taeyeon.
“Oh my god! Your hand is bleeding!” Jessica looked at Taeyeon. Taeyeon can
only stare back at Jessica with her already dead stare. Her eyes were empty. Her
eyes were lonely.
Taeyeon was fragile.
Jessica has not seen Taeyeon being like this. She can feel the pain in her heart
seeing Taeyeon in that state. Jessica wondered why.
“Come on. Lets go to your office. Ill clean your cut.” Jessica helped Taeyeon to
stand up, to get on her feet and she led Taeyeon to the couch.

Soon, Taeyeon can no longer hold her tears. Her dam was broken. She was crying
realizing the truth.
Tiffany can only see that Taeyeon was sobbing hard from a far. She cannot take it.
She decided to comfort the girl.
But she was late. Jessica passed her and now sitting beside Taeyeon, comforting
the crying Taeyeon.
“Does it hurt so much? Shhh…dont cry.” Jessica was worried. The cut must be
hurt a lot that it makes Taeyeon cried. She hurriedly cleaned the blood and treated
the cut. Jessica noticed that Taeyeon was still crying. Her heart almost brokeseeing the woman in front of her crying. She then slowly hugged Taeyeon.
“Stop crying Taeyeon-shi. You make me worry.” Jessica brushed Taeyeons hair
slowly, trying to comfort the girl.
“Taeyeon-shi, it breaks my heart seeing you like this.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 84/537
Tiffany saw the whole scenes and cannot do anything about it.
…………………………..
Yuri on the other hand was surprised not just because of the loud noise, but
because of the woman she just saw in front of her eyes.
“Jessica”

…………………….
Yuri left the building after she met Tiffany. She wanted to ask Tiffany about
Jessica but she had no courage to do so, afraid her girlfriend would suspect
something. Yuri offered to send Tiffany home but the latter refused. Tiffany said
she had needed to finish her work and will be going home when her works were
already done.
The ride of going to her house was so slow. Yuri had a lot in her mind, lots of
unanswered question. Her past was hunting her back. The questions that were
always ringing in her mind a long time ago now demanding for answers.
Headache, unable to focus on the road, Yuri stopped her car. She rests for a while,
massaging her head.
Yuri took a long breath.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 87/537
‘That woman…was really Jessica. How come she did not recognize me?
‘That woman…my fiancée
……………………………..
“Yuri-ah…3 days left. Arent you excited?” The woman asked Yuri, holding
Yuris arm as they were walking around the playground nearby the womans
house. It was afternoon and Yuri wanted to be with her girlfriend at that moment.
The two cant just be separated.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 88/537
“Of course I am! Weve been going through a lot. From high school until now.
And the next 3 days, youre mine, Sica-ah.” The two sat on the bench. Jessica
rested her head on Yuris shoulder. Hands were still intertwining.
“Thank you for these past few years, your love really makes me happy. I am happy
Yuri-ah.” The older girl looked up to her girlfriend which would suppose to be her
fiancée after the next 3 days. She smiled.
“Aww~ you make me happy too baby. And thank you for all these years too. ”
Yuri pecked on Jessicas lips.
“And most importantly, thank you for choosing me, my love.” She continued,
whispering and after that she leaned in to kiss Jessica.
Their lips almost touched when Jessicas phone was ringing.
“Sorry.”
“Its okay.” Yuri assured her girlfriend.
Jessica sat up and took her phone out from her pocket and answered the call. Yuri
was playing with her hair with her finger.

back, to US. After hearing that, Yuris body turned weak. She did not want to
believe it but reality struck her as Jessica did not come to their engagement day the
next day. Embarrassed, Yuri locked herself in her house for months. She cried her
eyes out knowing that Jessica left her without saying anything to her. Yuri cried so
hard not believing that Jessica did that to her. Yuri turned to a cold person. But she
changed after she met Tiffany. Yuri thinks all this while was just a lie, Jessica
broke her heart. Her girlfriend betrayed her at the end.
‘Jessicas love was just a lie
When Yuri remembered that, her tears will escaped and her heart will start
bleeding. She may be tough, but inside, she is so fragile.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 92/537
……………………..
Tiffany was still in the office. She looked at her watched and realized that it was
already 6.30pm. She decided to go home when her body can no longer cooperate
with her brain. She packed her stuff and ready to go. Tiffany made her way to the
elevator. She pushed the button and the elevator opened. Tiffany went inside and
was about to closed the elevator when someone just asked her to wait. She pushed
the button back, opening the elevator.
The person turned out to be Taeyeon. She was breathing heavily perhaps her boss
did not want to miss the elevator.
“Oh…Tiff - Stephanie-shi.”
“Director…”
Taeyeon went in she pushed the button, closing the elevator. Only both of themwere inside. The atmosphere was awkward. Tiffany steal glances at Taeyeons
injured hand.
“I-is that still…hurt?” She pointed at the bandaged hand and looked at Taeyeon.
Taeyeon seems tired.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 93/537
Taeyeon was surprised actually, not expecting the younger girl to ask her about her
condition. After all, Tiffany never starts a conversation with Taeyeon, only doing it
for work, not in personal matter.
“It hurts. The cut is just…too deep.” Taeyeon stopped, looking at her bandaged
hand.
“But it will heal soon…I hope.”
‘Just not sure how long it will take…just how my heart, still not healing
Taeyeon smiled though inside she was hurt. She was injured because of the scenes
that she saw, and remembering that, she just wanted to run away…run away from
Tiffany.
Hearing Taeyeons answer, Tiffany just nodded. They went silence after that.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 94/537
“Miss Kwon Yuri…is your girlfriend, right?” She asked, finally. Her tone was
desperate.
Tiffany was taken aback, never expected that Taeyeon would ask her that question.
The younger girl turned her head to the owner of the question, and she wasnt sure
how to answer it. Taeyeon was looking down unable to look at Tiffany when she
answered her question. Afraid that she would broke in front of her secretary,
though she was already broken. Taeyeon drew something on the ground with her
feet, waiting for the answer.
“Yes. She is my girlfriend now.” Taeyeon finally heard Tiffanys reply. Shestopped from her drawing action. Half regretting about what she asked.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 95/537
“I see…I hope you guys are happy together.” She controlled her voice from
cracking saying those things.
“I am happy now.”
Taeyeon flinched hearing that. It isnt really necessary to add ‘now at the end,
Taeyeon thoughts.
The elevator opened and the two walked to the main entrance. Tiffany was
relieved, at least Taeyeon would not ask her more about Yuri. Taeyeon despite her
broken heart seeing Tiffany, said goodbye to her and the two went to their
cars…separately.
…………………
That night, Taeyeon went to her fathers house as her father invited her to have a
dinner together and also to discuss over something. Probably about the company
again. Taeyeon dragged her tired body and managed to stop in front of her fathers
house.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 96/537
Sigh.
Taeyeon and her father had their dinner together. Taeyeon only answer short when
her father asked her. Her father seems like a stranger to her. She doesnt feel
comfortable whenever she is with the old man. She still cannot forgive her father.
“So Taeyeon…how was the company?” They sat in the living room. Taeyeon loves
the smell of the room. It reminds her of her mother.
“Fine. I am working on several proposals.” She was not looking at her father.
“Ahh~ I see. Manager Park told me that you personally chose the proposals.”
“Yeah. Only that attracts my attention.”
“Taeyeon…as a director, you should have look from different aspects too. Not just
the one that attracting your attention.” Mr. Kim was now lecturing his daughter.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 97/537
“What if you missed out some potential proposals that have potential to increase
our companys income? That would be a great loss. You should be very careful
next time. I think I need to-“
Knowing that her father would not stop from lecturing her, Taeyeon got up. She
was annoyed.
“Mr. Kim, I know what I am doing. I know whats good for the company. And
believe me, I will make sure that the company will not bankrupt in my hand if that
really what makes you worry.” Taeyeon end her speech and started to walk away.
“Wait.” Her father called out.
“What now?” Her voice showed how annoyed she was at that time.
“What happened to your hand?” Mr. Kim asked, concerned about her daughter. He
already saw it at first but he didnt ask.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 98/537
“Why? You are worried about me?” Taeyeon faced the older man.
“Of course.”
“Haha..” She faked her laugh.
“Stop pretending that youre worried about me. I hate it when people pretending to
care when they were actually not.” Her tone was serious. She meant what she said
and what she said implies on something.
“Because…if you really care about me, youll not force me over something. Youll
respect my decision. ”
“…and I will not struggling and look lost by now” Taeyeon whispered the last part.
She walked away, leaving her father, the house and went home after that.

A Great Adventure
Two days already passed after the meeting with Yuri. Taeyeon was having a
discussion with the important staff and experts from the company about Yuris
proposal. Although Yuri is actually her rival but she put that aside and be
professional. She did not want to be childish and just ditch the proposal when she
could see that the proposal was different, unique and has potential to be a
successful project between the two companies. Taeyeon asked Jessica to call Yuri
to inform that her proposal was selected for their new project.
“Hello.”
“Yes…Hello.”
“This is Jessica speaking from Kim Cooperation. May I speak to Miss Kwon
Yuri?”
Yuris mood changed. Her heart was beating to the familiar rhythm again.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 101/537
“This is Kwon Yuri speaking.”
“Ahh~ Miss Kwon, I am gladly to inform you that Kim Cooperation chose your
proposal for our upcoming project.”
Excited. “Really?!” Yuri screamed to the phone, not remembering that Jessica was
on the other line.
Yuri can hear Jessica was laughing.
“Yes, Miss Kwon. Director Kim needs to see you again for further discussion.
When are you free?”
“I can come tomorrow.”
“Great. I will inform director Kim later.”

“…”
“…”
“Err...Thank you Jessica-shi.”
“No problem. You should say that to director Kim. She made the final decision.
We are looking forward to work with you.”
“Yeah. I am looking forward for this project…and you too.” Yuri whispered the
last part.
True she felt betrayed by Jessica but she cannot deny her heart that missing the
older girl.
“What? I cannot hear you, Miss Kwon.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 103/537
“Uhh..nothing. I am just excited for tomorrow.”
“Hmm..okay Miss Kwon. See you tomorrow. Goodbye.”
“Bye…….Sica”
Yuri called the last name when Jessica was already not in the other line.
………………..
Jessica went to the café and bought drinks for herself. She also bought extra drinks.
That day, Jessica brought her lunchbox. She went up to her office department.
Most of the workers were already gone for their lunch. Jessica saw Tiffany, still
working on her laptop. She approached the younger girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 104/537
“Hey Tiffany. Not eating your lunch first?”
“Hmm…I will. But later. Need to finish this last paperwork.” Tiffany looked at
Jessica. She stopped for a while from typing the document.
“How about you? You eat already?”
“I am about to do it…with director Kim. I brought my lunchbox especially for
director Kim.” She smiled proudly with her effort. Jessica woke up early that day
just to prepare her lunchbox.
“With director Kim?” Tiffanys expression was now changing.
“Yeah. I observed Taeyeon-shi doesnt always eat her lunch. So I think I want to
eat with her today.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 105/537
“Taeyeon-shi?” Tiffany was now frowning. Uneasy with Jessica calling Taeyeon
with that name.
“Ahh~ I should stop calling her like that when we are still in the office. Director
Kim asked me to call her like that if we are not working…and I think I am just
getting use with that name.”
“Oh…”
“I will leave you now, Tiffany. Dont work too hard. Go and eat your lunch first.
Bye.” Jessica left Tiffany who was still frowning.
Tiffany saw Jessica knocked on Taeyeons door and soon she was disappeared
from her sight.
Sigh.
……………
Knock Knock
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 106/537
“Come in.” Taeyeon stopped working and look ed at the person behind the door.
The door opened slowly and within that small gap, Jessicas head popped out.
“Director Kim…” Jessica called Taeyeon with her aegyo.
Taeyeon had goosebumps hearing that. She tilted her head.
“Jessica, what are you doing standing there? Come in here.”
“Okay” Jessica jumped in happily. Taeyeon can only chuckled seeing the sudden
girl behavior.
Jessica put her lunch box down at the table nearby the couch in the room. Taeyeon
raised her eyebrow, silently asking Jessica. Jessica was nervous, afraid that
Taeyeon would not want to eat with her.
“Actually, I kind of notice that you did not eat your lunch, director Kim.” She is
now playing with her fingers, looking at the ground, unable to look at the older
girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 107/537
“So I thought, it would be nice if I accompany you to eat your lunch for today. It is
not good to skip your lunch. You might run out of energy too.”
Taeyeon was eyeing the girl in front of her. She was now giggling seeing Jessica
like that. Never seeing Jessica acting so cute like that. Today must be really special
she thought. Jessica heard Taeyeon and she looked up at her boss. Taeyeon was
grinning like a crazy kid at that time, a cute one to be exact. Seeing Taeyeons
reaction, Jessica said, “I think youre cool with this right, director Kim. It is only a
lunch though.”
‘Shes so cute…and caring too
“Hmm...Well it depends on your cooking skills though. Are you a good cook,
Jessica-shi?” Taeyeon got up and made her way to Jessica, approaching the table
where Jessica put down the food earlier. Taeyeon bent down and take a look at the
food inside the container.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 108/537
“Err..about that. I am not really good though. But I put my effort this time. I even
looked at the recipes and I woke up early. I swear. If you dont believe me, see
this. I got an eye bags.” Jessica showed her eyes as evidence.
Taeyeon looked at Jessica who was still standing, pressing her eye bags. Taeyeon
laughed at her action.
“Aigoo…I believe you Jessica-shi. Youre so cute. Haahaa…” Jessica was
blushing when Taeyeon said she was cute. Her boss was still laughing after
imitating her own action and she cannot help but to laugh too realizing their
childish acts.
The two sat on the couch. Jessica opened her lunch box and proudly showed her
masterpiece to Taeyeon.
“Is this even edible? You sure youre not putting any poison in it?” Taeyeon
continued to tease her personal assistant.
Jessica pretended to be mad. “Yah! Taeyeon-shi! Stop it already.” She slapped
Taeyeon on her shoulder and pouted. Taeyeon saw Jessica was pouting and she
herself was now pouting too.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 109/537
“Aww~ I am just kidding okay. I just like to tease you. Come on. Dont get angry
now.” Taeyeon did not realize that she was actually showing her aegyo to Jessica.
Jessica saw that and was surprised. Taeyeon realized what she did and now she
was embarrassed.
“That was cute Taeyeon-shi. Can you show me more?” Now it was Jessicas turn
to tease the older girl. Jessica pinched Taeyeons baby face and that just made the
older girl blushed even more.
“Err…” Taeyeon shifts in her seat.
“Okay, stop playing. Now eat.” Jessica said.
“Taeyeon-shi, open your mouth, say ‘ahhh~” Jessica brought the spoon containing
the food close to Taeyeons mouth. Taeyeon moved backward slightly. Her eyes
now wide opened.
“W-What are you doing now, J-Jessica-shi? I can do it by myself.” Taeyeon tried
to take the spoon from Jessica but her personal assistant just glared at her, showing
her ice princess side. Taeyeon sensed that sudden changes and gulped.
“Your hand is still not healing. Just let me feed you, okay.” Taeyeon nodded. She
was looking like a kid, feeling small. Jessica really has her aura.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 110/537
“Good.”
“Now open your mouth Taeyeon-shi.” Jessicas ice princess side was gone now,
replaced by a-happy-and-excited-Jessica. Taeyeon felt amused with the sudden
changes. Afraid her personal assistant would shot an ice glare to her again,
Taeyeon like a little kid opened her mouth and munching the food.
Jessica observed her expression. “How was it?”
Taeyeon had this hard and difficult expression on her face. She seems having a
hard time to digest the food inside her mouth.
“It-It was…interesting. I think…I just come back from a great adventure.” Jessica
did not understand Taeyeon. Taeyeon took the spoon and took a bite of the food in
the container. She asked Jessica to open her mouth and Jessica just obeyed. She ate
her own masterpiece.
“It was good, right?”
“….”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 111/537
“A great adventure…”
“I think…I need to go to the toilet later.”
With that Taeyeon hurriedly left Jessica and walked out from her office, leaving
Jessica alone, dumbfounded in the couch. Jessica was still processing what
Taeyeon meant with her last words.
Jessica was so slow. It took her a while to process the last statement, Jessica finally
got the message.
“YAH, TAEYEON-SHI!! IT IS NOT THAT BAD!”

Unknown to them, a pair of jealousy eyes was watching them.
Tiffany.

Stealing Glances
Kwon Yuri came to Kim Cooperation as promised. She was excited to work on the
new project about a brand new perfume which is especially made for the women.
Her father, Mr. Kwon was proud hearing the news about her daughters successful
proposal. Working with Kim Cooperation is everyone, specifically in the business
areas dreams. Kim Cooperation is famous because of their successful projects.
Yuri came early in the morning. She was prepared physically and mentally.
Mentally prepared to face Jessica. 6 years Yuri in a relationship with Jessica, it was
a long time. Forgetting the past memories that they had made was not an easy thing
to do.
Yuri walked in the company and was greeted with her girlfriend, Tiffany, waiting
at the entrance. Tiffany then led Yuri to meet with director Kim at her office.
Taeyeon personally asked Tiffany to bring her girlfriend to her office the day
before. Tiffany thought Taeyeon does not care anymore about her relationship with
Yuri just by looking at how cool Taeyeon is. Taeyeon even chose the proposal
which mean that the two will meet quite often in the future.
‘Maybe she has already move on
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 114/537
‘Maybe Jessica has change her
Tiffany and Yuri went to Taeyeons room. Inside, Jessica was already there
reading on something, while Taeyeon was actually nervous inside but she did not
show it. Jessica did not realize that their working partner has already coming. Only
when Taeyeon stood up and greet Yuri that Jessica realized.
“Oh…Hi Miss Kwon.” She extended her hand and Yuri shook it gladly.
“Hello Jessica-shi. We meet again.”
‘Jessicas hand is cold
“Yeah. I guess we were meant to meet again then. Haaha…”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 115/537
Both Taeyeon and Tiffany were clueless. They can just stare at the two without
saying anything. Jessica sat beside Taeyeon, facing Yuri who sat beside Tiffany.
Jessicas own role on that meeting was to note down anything that related with
Kim Cooperation, while for Tiffany, she was asked to work with Yuri, noting
down anything that Yuri said for both Kim Cooperation and Kwon Enterprise
reference in the future.
The small discussion about the new project lasted about 2 hours. Yuri was stealing
glances at Jessica who just sat in front of her, observing her past lover. Jessica was
oblivious of what Yuri did. On the other hand, Tiffany was feeling uneasy as she
always caught Taeyeon watching her and sometimes Taeyeon was spacing out.
Jessica who sat beside Taeyeon would always nudged Taeyeon waking her up. She
did not realize that Yuri and Tiffany were watching on how sometimes she was
showing her sweet side to Taeyeon. The director can only blushed afterwards,
embarrassed with Jessicas affection towards her.
The meeting continued in the afternoon with Kim Cooperations other important
employees to announce their new upcoming project. Yuri presented her ideas to the
audience in the conference room and sometimes, Taeyeon would also add
something to her presentation. Yuri ended her presentation by asking them to guide
her in the process. She also said that she was glad her proposal was chosen by
director Kim.
Taeyeon, Jessica, Tiffany and Yuri walked out from the conference room together.Taeyeon and Yuri were in front followed with Jessica and Tiffany at the back.
Jessica and Tiffany just listened to the twos conversation. They were exhausted
and tired. It was already the time to go home. They stopped in front of Taeyeons
room.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 116/537
“Thank you for today Miss Kwon. I am looking forward working with you. If you
have anything in your mind regarding the new project, you can just tell me
directly. I am sure you have a lot, youre a very creative woman, I can see it.”
Taeyeon said sincerely. Tiffany can just listen. Happy inside as Taeyeon did not
hold any grudge against her girlfriend.
“Thank you, director Kim. I am sure you are also creative and smart. But I have
one question though.”
“Hmm…what is it?”
“Why did you choose my proposal in the first place?” Jessica and Tiffany were
also curious about that. They never asked their boss regarding her decision.
“Why not? I like your idea. I have this collection of perfume coming from different
brands in my room. Perfume is my favorite.” Taeyeon beamed proudly.
“Besides, it was my mothers dream to introduce a brand new perfume especially
made for the women. That was her last dream before she passed away. So I am
really working hard for this project, for my mother.”

drag Jessica and asked the older woman directly. But Yuri did not want to scare
and hurt Jessica. So at the end, she will be the one who will get hurt.
Taeyeon however was not blind to see how sweet Tiffany is on treating her
girlfriend. Maybe Tiffany was oblivious. Sometimes Taeyeon cant just sit down
and watch the two lovers having their sweet time while working together. So
Taeyeon would leave the scene and said that she needed to go to somewhere else.
At one point, Taeyeon was badly hurt inside and her tear would escape seeing how
happy Tiffany is with Yuri.
Tiffany on the other hand would shift uncomfortably seeing how close Taeyeonand Jessica were. She will look away and remind herself that she has Yuri already.
In order to ease the strange feeling that lingering in her stomach whenever she sees
Taeyeon and Jessica, Tiffany will play with Yuri.
The only one who was oblivious of the situation was Jessica. She was happy
working with Taeyeon. She felt much closer with Taeyeon. She was comfortable
also working with Yuri and cannot deny that Yuri is really smart and creative.
Sometimes Jessica caught Yuri stealing glances at her but in return, she will just
smile to the younger girl. Jessica did not know that whenever she smiles to Yuri,
Yuri will feel butterflies in her stomach. Those smiles can bring her mood up.
Jessica often brings Taeyeon to have a lunch with her. The blonde girl will not
reject her offer if Jessica shot her famous dead glare, Taeyeon will obediently
follow Jessica. Jessica loves to tease Taeyeon, the two actually love to tease each
other. Taeyeon sometimes sent Jessica home when Jessica did not bring her car.
She feels happy when she is around Taeyeon.

“But…Tiffany?”
“Hahaa…dont worry Jessica-shi. I will tell her later okay. She is a cool woman.
Dont worry.”
“Well then…I will go with you, Miss Kwon.”
“Okay. And just call me Yuri.” Yuri smiled and opened the door for Jessica.
Throughout the ride, Yuri asked Jessica on several things wanting to know this
Jessica better. Yuri however decided not to question Jessica about something that
always ringing in her mind, instead she just wanted to talk with Jessica. She felt
happy with Jessica beside her. Her memories with Jessica, the time they shared
together, their sweet moments, came across in her mind and she cannot help but to
smile happily. Jessica guide Yuri to her house and the girls reached the housewithin an hour.
Being a gentlemen she is, Yuri get out from her car and opened the door for
Jessica. Jessica chuckled and said thank you to the younger girl. Jessica also
thanked Yuri for sending her home. The two said goodbye to each other and Yuri
went home after that. Although it was just a short journey, but she felt satisfied.
…………….
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 122/537
Early that morning, Taeyeon talked to Tiffany that she needs her secretary to
attend a meeting outside the company since Jessica was away for another meeting.
Tiffany was showing an expression that Taeyeon could not understand so she
asked whats wrong. After forcing the younger girl to talk, Taeyeon found out that
Tiffany did not bring her car on that day. So Taeyeon asked Tiffany to just use her
car and follow her.
Taeyeon and Tiffany had just finished with the meeting. It was already late.
Tiffany was hesitating to follow Taeyeon as Taeyeon offered to send her home.
Tiffany cannot reject the offer as she was afraid to be left alone. She reluctantly got
in Taeyeons car for the second time on that day. Unknown to Tiffany, Taeyeon
was smirking after successfully forcing the girl to get into her car and even
celebrate inside. She cannot hide her excitement and just grinned. She also wanted
to know Tiffanys house.
The atmosphere was awkward. As usual, Taeyeon started the conversation. Tiffany
will just answer her short.
Taeyeon decided to ask Tiffany on her personal life.
“So…since when are you together with Yuri?” Her tone was serious. Tiffany did
not feel right whenever Taeyeon asked her about her relationship with Yuri.

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 124/537
“I dont think I need to answer that.” Tiffany remained composed in her seat.
“Why? Youre not sure of your own feelings?” Taeyeon looked a t Tiffany now.
Upon hearing that statement, Tiffany glared at Taeyeon. Half-boiling inside. She
did not like Taeyeon for asking that question.
“Stephanie-shi?” The two were still looking at each other.
Tiffany decided to look away and she did not answer. They arrived at Tiffanys
house already. After saying thank you to Taeyeon, Tiffany hurriedly unlocked the
door. She opened the door and was about to step out from the car when she felt her
wrist was being grabbed.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 125/537
Tiffany stopped and looked at her wrist. Taeyeon was holding it. She looked up
and met those onyx eyes again.
“Let me go, director Kim.” Her voice was desperate.
“You have not answered my question. Why? Youre not sure of your feelings?”
Taeyeon became so serious.
She was demanding for an answer from the younger girl.
Feeling annoyed, Tiffany responded. “Fine, I love Yuri so much. Happy?”
“…”
Taeyeon flinched and looked away, still holding on Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 126/537
“No.” Tiffany was confused with what she heard.
Taeyeon looked Tiffany once more. Their eyes met.
“How can I be happy, Tiffany? When youre always in my mind.” Her voice was
soft and her eyes showing hurt.
Her heart skips a beat. Tiffany was surprised after hearing Taeyeons confession.
The blonde girl also called her Tiffany instead of Stephanie, dropping the
formality. Tiffany felt dizzy.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 127/537
“How can I be happy when I still like you…” Taeyeons last statement brought
Tiffany back to reality.
‘No. This cant be happening. I have Yuri already.
Tiffany forcefully let her hand free from Taeyeon. She even pushed the older girl
and caused the older girl to hit her back. Taeyeon can only hiss, not showing how
hurt she was.
“No...that is not true. We are not together now, you left me.” Her voice was
shaking.
“I have Yuri. I love her and only her.”
Taeyeons heart crushed.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 128/537
“I dont like you. Not anymore, Taeyeon.”
With that, Tiffany opened the door and left Taeyeon. Taeyeon was frozen, did not
want to believe Tiffany. Her mouth was frozen. She felt hurt again. Her eyes
showed tears. They dropped one by one but soon, her tears flowed rapidly.
Yes, Taeyeon was crazy to ask that question. But she just wanted confirmation.
She needs to know. Though it was already obvious that Tiffany loves Yuri but
Taeyeon just wanted to hear it from Tiffany. And she already knows that she will
just hurting herself at the end. But she did not care. Taeyeon was just too stubborn.
She was just too stubborn to accept the fact that Tiffany is no longer hers. But
Yuris.

Wrong Timing
After crying the whole night due to last nights incident, Taeyeon had no energy to
go to work. Her eyes were swollen so badly. One might think that the blonde must
be involved with some sort of fight. Remembering her meeting with Yuri that day,
Taeyeon had no choice but to bring her tired body to the company.
The blonde arrived at the company quite late. After she parked her car, Taeyeon
walked to the main entrance with her short legs. The passing employees greet her
but Taeyeon made no effort to greet them back. She never acted that way, shes
always humble with her workers, throwing her smiles whenever possible. That day
was different.
The director pressed the button when the elevator was about to close. The elevator
opened back. She entered and looked up to see the people in the elevator after she
felt she had stared at the ground long enough to make her neck hurt. The older girl
caught someone familiar in the elevator and the person after seeing Taeyeon,
immediately avoided the older girls eyes.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 131/537
Tiffany.
‘Great. She hates me now
Sigh
“Oh…Director Kim.” Taeyeon looked at her right.

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 133/537
The elevator opened, people were moving to their respective departments. Taeyeon
walked fast, passing Yuri and Tiffany. She had enough already seeing how
intimate the couple is.
Tiffany saw Taeyeon passed her. She was actually feeling guilty inside as she
knows that Taeyeon still likes her and Tiffany also knows that she just made
Taeyeon jealous when she linked her arms with Yuri earlier. But what she can she
do, she already has Yuri, she is happy with Yuri and she loves Yuri already.
The blonde went to her office quietly. Jessica saw that Taeyeon arrived already and
decided to approach her boss.
Knock Knock.
No answer.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 134/537
Jessica knocked again on the door but still Taeyeon did not answer her. The
younger girl decided to check her boss. The door cracked open. Taeyeon heard that
and looked at the person behind it.
“Good morning, director Kim. Youre late” Jessica smiled.
“Yeah…” Taeyeon closed her eyes. Her head was throbbing crazily. She needs
some rest.
“So how was the meeting yesterday?”
“Fine. Good.” She answered shor t.
Jessica noticed that Taeyeon looked so different on that day. She observed the
older girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 135/537
‘She looks tired, her face is pale
“Director Kim, are you ok? Are you sick? You look pale today.”
Taeyeon nodded, showing a signal that she was fine.
Jessica however was not satisfied with Taeyeon. She walked closer, bent down and
placed her hand over Taeyeons forehead. Taeyeon was startled with the cold hand
and opened her eyes immediately. Taeyeon was surprised seeing how close Jessica
is. Their faces were just centimeters away.
Taeyeon gasped due to the sudden contact.
“Omo! Taeyeon-shi, you are definitely not fine. Your body is burning, youre
sick!” Jessica was holding Taeyeons hands now. Her face was showing concern.
Taeyeon can only watch the person in front of her.

“What to do? You still have a meeting today. Do you want to cancel the meeting
instead? I can arrange the meeting to another day. Or I can even replace you for
the-“
Taeyeon was observing her personal assistant the whole time. Jessica was panic.
Taeyeon chuckled seeing how panic Jessica was and decided to calm her down.
She held Jessicas hands and squeezed it, hoping to get the younger girls attention.
Jessica body leaned closer to Taeyeon when Taeyeon grabbed her hands while she
was panicking thinking her boss health condition.
Their faces were once again just centimeters away. Both hearts were beating faster,
butterflies appeared in their stomach.
“Shh…” Taeyeon placed her finger to Jessicas soft lips.
Jessica blinked her eyes. Never really close with Taeyeon before.
“I am perfectly fine, Jessica-ah.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 138/537
‘Jessica-ah? She called me with that?
“Dont worry. Thank you for your concern but I can still manage myself.” Taeyeon
looked at Jessicas eyes.
“Besides…”
Taeyeon leaned forward, closing the gap between their faces.
Jessicas heart almost jumped out. She can feel Taeyeons hot breath.
“I have you all the time…to catch me when I am falling down.”
Taeyeon whispered the last part.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 139/537
“…”
“…”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 140/537
“Ehem.”
It was not coming from Taeyeon or Jessica.
It was Yuri.
She was observing the whole scenes and decided to break the moment after
knowing that she could no longer stand how close Taeyeon is with Jessica.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 141/537
Behind Yuri was Tiffany, also witnessing the whole scenes.
Taeyeon released Jessicas hands. Jessica moved back and brushed her hair. The
atmosphere was awkward, no one dare to utter any sound. But Jessicas cheek was
hot, blushing.
Err…Taeyeon is not feeling well, so I gave her medicine.” She decided to break
the dead atmosphere.
Yuri raised her eyebrows after hearing that statement and Taeyeon was looking at
her weirdly. Jessica felt something was wrong and she recalled back what she just
said.
“Director Kim! Yeah…I mean director Kim.” She was half screaming often
realizing her mistake.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 142/537
“Are you ok, director Kim?”Although Yuri was jealous but she decided not to
show it off and asked the older girls condition.
“Yeah. I am fine.” Taeyeon replied. She did not notice that Tiffany was hiding at
the back and just realizing her presence when Yuri walked to the chair. Taeyeon
looked at Tiffany but Tiffany still did not make an eye contact with Taeyeon. The
latter was disappointed but hides it.
…………….
“So our next step is to search for a model to promote the perfume.”
“Yes. We need to arrange a photo shoot with the model too in some other time.”
“Okay I get it. Anything more, Miss Kwon?”
“I think thats it for today.” Yuri closed her files and Taeyeon did the same.
“Jessica-shi, please remind me to search for the model, okay.”

“Okay.” Jessica was actually hoping for Taeyeon to drop the formality because she
feels close when Taeyeon says that…just like earlier.
Tiffany kept silence the whole time, silently writing the important notes on her
book. She felt uncomfortable…maybe because of the scenes that she had witnesses
earlier. She was surprised to see how close Taeyeon and Jessica were.
‘She said she likes me
Tiffany avoided Taeyeon the whole day. She only answered short when Taeyeon
asked her. Taeyeon even called Tiffany to her office because she wanted to
apologize with her behavior on last nights incident. Tiffany however did not say
that she forgive Taeyeon and said she did not want to talk about it and asked
Taeyeon to be professional when it comes to her work and her personal problems.
Taeyeon at the end was suffering more and more.

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 144/537
The next day, Taeyeon did not come to her office much to Jessicas
disappointment. She was hoping to see Taeyeon and she had no idea why. Perhaps
the older girl just successfully made her heart beat faster when remembering how
close Taeyeon was. Taeyeon texted Jessica that she was feeling sick and had no
energy to come to work since Jessica is her personal assistant.
During lunch, Jessica was hesitating to text her boss, to ask her condition. At the
end, she had no courage to do so. The rest of the day, Jessica felt hopeless without
Taeyeon in her sight. She realized that she missed the older girl and desperatelywanted to meet Taeyeon.
On the same day, Yuri invited Tiffany to have a lunch with her. Tiffany noticed
that Yuri has this dull expression on her face. Tiffany was worried seeing her
girlfriend and she decided to talk about it once they had finished their lunch.
“Yuri, I notice that you seem weak. Whats wrong? You can tell me, you know
that.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 145/537
Yuri was hesitating to tell Tiffany. She was not sure. She thinks the timing for this
is not right. It is not right even more when she had meet Jessica. Yuri feels so
wrong at that moment because she has feelings for Tiffany too. She had think
about it the since yesterday. She moved around in her seat and sighed.
“Actually…I dont know how to say this. I am afraid that youd freak out. But I
think I have to say this too because it involves us.”
“What is it, Yuri?” Tiffany never sees Yuri was so serious.
Yuri breathed in deeply, totally not ready for this.
“Tiffany…” Yuri looked at her lover.

Sick Taeyeon
“Actually, my dad asked me, us…to engage soon.”
“….”
The sound of the car passing by, the noise coming from the café…filled the silence
moments between Yuri and Tiffany. It seems like Tiffany was frozen in her place,
unable to utter any sound, unable to move. Her eyes did not blink. All she can hear
is the sound of her heart, beating wildly.
“Tiffany?” Yuri shook Tiffanys body, getting the older girls attention.
“Hey, are you okay?” Yuri squeezed her hand, bringing her back to the reality.
“Uhh…” She looked around, panicked for a while. She blinked her eyes.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 148/537
“Did you even hear me babe?” Yuri was worried seeing Tiffany in that state.
“Uhh…Yuri. I am sorry.”
“I think I was just surprise after hearing the news.” The older girl squeezed back
Yuris hand. She breathed in, trying to get the air, all the fresh air.
“So…what do you say? What do you think of us…to engage soon?” the younger
girl was asking back her girlfriend, wanting to know what the other girls thought
about that matter. After all, this thing is involving them. But deep inside, Yuri was
actually nervous to know Tiffanys answer. She is not ready yet.
Not ready when she just found Jessica back.
“Yuri, isnt…a bit too fast? I mean…not that I doubt you, in fact I trust you so
much, I love you so much, Yuri. But arent we moving fast? You have your work,
the project. Youre busy. Can you manage your time for this?” Tiffany tried toreason out.
“Yeah…I know. Actually I have been thinking about this the whole night. I know I
have a lot of thing to do. But my dad asked us to do it because he said the sooner
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 149/537
the better. He wants us to be official, you know what I mean, right? But I
understand my dad though. He doesnt want us to delay good things when he
knows that we really love each other. Besides, I am the only daughter of the
family, and my dad is already old.”
Yuri did not want to disappoint her family. Her dad is really important to her.
“I am sorry babe. I did not mean to surprise you with this sudden news.”
‘Because I am not ready too
“Hmm…it is okay. I know and I understand your situation. Youre a good
daughter, Yuri. I k now you dont want to disappoint your family. I will think about
this. I hope you can give me some time.” Even though Tiffany loves Yuri, but she
also needed time to think carefully.
“Dont worry. Take your time. This is for your life. I wont pressure you.” Yurismiled. She felt relieved inside as Tiffany didnt give the answer on the spot. Yuri
was relieved because she still got time to get the answer for the unanswered
questions that were hunting her for years.

………………
Ding Dong. Ding Dong.
A woman rushed to the door to open it. She reached the door knob and twisted it,
opening the door. In front of her was a woman, standing and smiling sweetly at
her. Sunny raised her eyebrows, curious of the woman.
“Err…yes?”
“Hi. My name is Jessica.” She offered her hand and Sunny shook it.
“Sorry if I am wrong, but is this director Kims house? Kim Taeyeon?” Jessica
continued. She did not expect to see different person to open the door.
“Yes, youre right. This is her house. Who are you by the way?”
“I am her personal assistant. I heard director Kim was sick, so I think it would be a
good idea to visit her.” A smile still appeared on her face.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 151/537
“Oh…I see. Well…Taeyeon is really sick.”
“…”
“Err...come in Miss Jessica.”
Sunny did not want Jessica to wait long so she let Jessica to come in. Sunny asked
Jessica to sit on the couch while she is preparing something in the kitchen. Jessica
was observing Taeyeons house. She decided to visit the older girl as she was
worried about the older girls condition as soon as she got off from the company.
And besides that, Jessica just missed Taeyeon.
‘Her house is quite big. Impressive.
“Taeyeon is sleeping right now. I have been taking care of her since this morning.
That woman is stubborn, she insists to go to the company but I kinda scold her to
stay and at last, Taeyeon listened to me.” Jessica was a bit startled with the sudden
voice coming from behind. She listened to Sunny and she was curious of this
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 152/537
Sunny, what kind of relationship she has with Taeyeon. How can she manage to
convince Taeyeon to stay at home?
Jessica cannot help but felt jealous.
“I am her cousin by the way.” The short hair girl seems to know what is running on
Jessicas mind so she just told her.
“Oh…I see. I thought youre her…hmm…”
“Her girlfriend? Taeyeon? Oh please…no. Not in a million years. That girl is so
stubborn. I cannot handle the kid.” Sunny shook her head, unable to imagine her
life with Taeyeon.
Jessica laughed watching Sunny. She was relieved knowing that she is just her
cousin and not her special ones.
‘I still have a chance
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 153/537
“So Miss Jessica-“
“Just call me Jessica.”
“Right. So Jessica, how do you work with Taeyeon?” Sunny was surprised actually
when Jessica introduced her as Taeyeons personal assistant. She never thought the
girl needed assistant. She knows well that Taeyeon can manage her life.
“It is great. I am happy wor king with Taeyeon. She is so kind. She never asked me
to work that often, she is not bossy though. I just love to work with Taeyeon, being
so near to her.” Maybe Jessica did not realize her statements, thats why she was
smiling so proudly answering Sunny.
Sunny was taken aback hearing Jessicas answer. Especially the last part, ‘love to
work with Taeyeon and being so near to her. Sunnys thoughts were cut short asshe heard Jessica talked some more.
“Taeyeon is caring too. She always asks me to eat. We of ten have our lunch
together because I knew Taeyeon will leave her lunch when she is so into her
work. I am worried about her health because she told me that she did not really
take her breakfast at home and at work, she skipped her lunch. Now she is sick.
Sigh. I need to lecture her later. Do you know what, she will listen to me when I
lecture her. Haahaa…Taeyeon is so cute when she listens to me.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 154/537
Sunny, for the second time was taken aback by Jessica. She observed the girl and
she noticed that Jessica would smile if she said Taeyeons name. Sunny was
wondering, who is Taeyeon in Jessicas mind? Could it be that Jessica likes
Taeyeon? Because her actions are so obvious.
And Sunny is always right.
“Err…Sunny.” Jessica called her as Sunny was spacing out. Jessica waved her
hand and finally gets the younger girls attention.
“Ohh…sorry Jessica. I am spacing out for a while. What do you say just now?”
“It is okay. Hmm…I am wondering if I could see Taeyeon for a while.” The older
girl was playing with her finger, looking down.
“Uhh..yeah. Sure. But she is sleeping though.”
“I wont mind. Just wanna see her.”
Sunny then led Jessica to Taeyeons bedroom. She opened the door really carefully
and slowly, dont want Taeyeon to wake up.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 155/537
Jessica saw Taeyeon was lying down at her bed. She made her way closer to the
bed, watching the sleeping figure. Jessica was frowning as she saw Taeyeons
condition. Taeyeons face appeared pale. Jessica placed her hand on Taeyeons
forehead.
‘She is really burning
Sunny excused herself, leaving Jessica in Taeyeons bedroom as she had to pick
her call. Jessica watched Sunny closing the door and then she turned her head to
the sleeping figure. She bent down and rests her upper body on Taeyeons bed,
leaning closer to Taeyeon. Jessica looked at the Taeyeons face, observing the face
that she had missed a lot the whole day.
“Taeyeon-ah, youre sick. What should I do?”
Jessica brought her hand to Taeyeons face, caressing it. Hoping that her touch
could reduce the burning skin.
‘So soft
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 156/537
The younger girl took Taeyeons hand and intertwine it with hers. She brought
their hands closer to her, feeling the hot skin against her skin. Jessica brushed
Taeyeons hair slowly and softly. She did not want to wake the older girl.
“Taeyeon-ah…you need to heal soon. I want to be with you, work with you, eat
with you, play with you, and tease you. I love to tease you, youre so cute when I
tease you. So you need to heal soon, okay.” Jessica talked softly to the sleeping girl
softly.
“I want to see you smile. Do you know that you make me happy when you smile at
me? Your smile will light up my day, Taeyeon-ah.”
Jessica kissed Taeyeons hand lovingly.
Once, twice, thrice.
She did not aware that Sunny was watching her. Looking at how Jessica treatedTaeyeon, Sunny was sure that Jessica likes Taeyeon and fall for Taeyeon already.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 158/537
The sick girl calm down a bit and due to the constant shaking of her body, Taeyeon
woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, adjusting her vision to her surroundings.
Taeyeon breathed in deeply, taking as much air as she needed. She blinked her
eyes for several time. She can feel that her body is still burning hot. Her lips are
dry. She is exhausted.
“Hey…youre awake now.” Taeyeon heard the soft, lovely and familiar voice. But
she could not figure it out.
“Taeyeon…” Jessica called Taeyeon once more as she realized that Taeyeon did
not see her yet.
“Hmm…” The older girl was trying to respond to the voice. She turned her head to
the left, searching for the voice, and there…she saw someone.
“Hello Taeyeon.” Taeyeon opened her eyes wide. She scrunched her eyebrows and
blinked her eyes a few times. She rubbed her eyes, not sure of what she really saw
in front of her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 159/537
‘Jessica?
Jessica chuckled seeing at Taeyeons action. Taeyeon was like a kid when she
rubbed her eyes like that. She cannot help but pinched that baby face.
“Hahaa…youre so cute Taeyeon. Youre not seeing ghost, kid. It is really me.
Your lovely personal assistant, Jessica.” Jessica waved her hand to Taeyeon.
“Uhh..J-Jessica. What are you doing here? W-where is Sunny?” Taeyeon tried to
sit up and Jessica helped her.
“She went out a while ago and she asked me to take care of you. And obviously, I
came here to visit you. Sigh.”
“And I am your personal assistant, remember, so I know your address.” The
younger girl explained as she saw the older girl was still frowning.
“Aigoo. Dont be like that, whats with your expression. Haaha…” She patted
Taeyeons head, treating her like a kid.
8/9/2019 Between the Two

Confession
“Youre so cute Taeyeon-ah. Thats why I like you.”
“….”
Yes, Taeyeon heard that, clearly. She was frowning even more and blinked her
eyes for several times, still looking at Jessica. Taeyeon was eyeing her personal
assistant suspiciously. Wanting to hear some more from the girl.
“What? I cannot say that to you?” Jessica asked Taeyeon, now with her soft voice,almost whispering to Taeyeon. She was sitting on a chair nearby the bed and now
leaning her body forward, towards the sick girl. Their faces were just centimeters
apart.
“Uhh…”
Jessica was observing Taeyeon, looking at her boss. Taeyeon shifted a bit, feeling
uncomfortable under Jessicas eyes. She was feeling trapped under the ice princess.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 162/537
“Err…Jessica?”
The younger girl was actually enjoyed seeing Taeyeon in that condition, being
trapped under her gazed. Jessica smirked when she noticed that the sick girl was
holding her breath. She decided to further tease the older girl.
“Wae Taeyeon-ah? You dont like it when I say I like you earlier?” As she was
talking, or more like whispering to the sick girl, her eyes were actually landed on
that older girls lips.
Taeyeon noticed that Jessica was looking at her lips. She again felt uneasy. She
almost exploded. Taeyeon was feeling hot. She got mixture of feelings at that time.
Jessica brought back her eyes, now staring at Taeyeons wide open eyes. She
cannot deny it, her heart was actually beating so fast that it almost jumps out. ButJessica did not want to stop it yet. She was really enjoying the moment.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 163/537
Jessica leaned more, closing the gaps between their faces. Their noses almost
touched each other.
“Taeyeon-ah….”
Jessica can feel Taeyeons hot and unsteady breath. She was at first wanted to tease
the older girl. But the situation right now was different. The atmosphere was a lot
more different than she expected. When she said that she likes Taeyeon earlier, she
did not realize it. Yes, she likes Taeyeon but Jessica thinks the perfect time to tell
Taeyeon about her feelings is not coming yet. Upon seeing how surprised Taeyeon
was, Jessica decided to tease the older girl. She was really enjoying the momentsbetween her and Taeyeon and did not realize that she was drowning even more in
her own world when she was eyeing Taeyeons lips.
Taeyeon on the other hand could not do anything. She cannot say anything, cannot
utter any sound, and cannot move in her position. She was trapped.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 164/537
Taeyeon was lost in Jessicas eyes.
“Taeyeon-ah…”
Jessica leaned a bit and caused their noses to touch. Taeyeon gasped, she closed
her eyes. Both were surprised with the contacts and frozen instantly in their
position at that time.
Both hearts were stopped at that moment.
“…”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 165/537
“…”
Taeyeon opened her eyes when she felt Jessica did not do anything to her. Slowly
she opened her eyes.
In front of her was still a pair of eyes, Jessicas eyes, looking straight at her own.
Jessica was eyeing her all the time.
Taeyeon felt her stomach flipped again. She was shaking inside.
“It is true that I like you. I hope you wont mind…Taeyeon-ah.” The younger girl
spoke softly, finally decided to confess to Taeyeon about her sincere feelings. She
did not care about anything, did not want to know whats going to happen after
that. Jessica just wanted to confess and finally she said it.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 166/537
Taeyeon was surprised with the sudden confession. She cannot process very well.
Her body was weak, her brain was full of thoughts and questions.
Taeyeon was feeling sick again.
No more teasing. Jessica was serious at that time. She herself did not expect that
she would confess to Taeyeon. She just cannot control herself. It is now or never.
Jessica was really happy when she is beside Taeyeon, she really wants to be with
Taeyeon. She wanted to know more about Taeyeon.
Jessica wants to be with Taeyeon.
“Jessica…I-“

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 167/537
Teayeon could not finish her words when she saw Jessica moved forward, closing
the gaps, the girl tilted her head slightly to the right.
Taeyeon once again close her eyes when she saw Jessica was now leaning forward
to her.
Kiss.
Jessica kissed Taeyeon.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 168/537
On the forehead.
Taeyeon can feel Jessicas cold lips against her burning skin. She was stunned with
Jessicas action but at the same time, Taeyeon felt safe. She felt secured. And she
likes the feeling…
Taeyeon felt loved.

Decision
I kissed Taeyeon on her forehead. The time was just perfect and my feeling is
sincere so I didnt hesitate to kiss her. I think my action was not wrong.
Her skin was burning. I can feel it against my lips. I held her chin when I kissed
her. Taeyeon did not push me but she was surprised with my action. I placed my
lips on the burning skin for a while, taking my time and then I brought myself back
to my original position. Taeyeon closed her eyes and opened it when she feel the
lost of contacts on her forehead. I smiled to Taeyeon. I can see that she was
breathless. I did not know why but I felt so peaceful after I kissed her. Perhaps due
to the thoughts of Taeyeon already knows my feeling.
“Jessica…I-“The sick girl broke the silence in the room.
“Shh…” Jessica cut Taeyeon once again by placing her finger on Taeyeons lips.
She shook her head and looked at Taeyeon, giving her sweet smile.
“I just want to let you know my feeling, Taeyeon-ah. I did not ask for anything.”
Jessica continued. She brushed Taeyeons dry lips with her thumb.
The room was silence again.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 170/537
Both did not know what else to say to each other. Seconds passed but Jessica was
still brushing Taeyeon lips, making the older girl nervous inside. Taeyeon still
cannot believe it but she was starting to learn the situation.
Their silence moment was interrupted when both heard a noise coming from
Taeyeon. Jessica widened her eyes and realized that the sound was coming from
Taeyeons stomach.
“S-Sorry. I am really hungry. I did not eat earlier.” Taeyeon hid her face when she
said that. She was embarrassed and cannot look up at the younger girl. She knows
that she had ruined the moment. Seeing Taeyeons reaction, Jessica can only
laughed. She finds that Taeyeon was so cute like that, like a kid.
“Haahaa…aigoo. You need to eat when youre sick. Come on, get up. I will
prepare your food.” The younger girl patted Taeyeons head and the made her way
to the door, going to the kitchen leaving Taeyeon on her bed still feeling
embarrassed and surprised from the sudden confession.
Taeyeon went out from her room after a few minutes and sat on the couch. She saw
Jessica preparing the food in the kitchen. Jessica was busy preparing the food, not
realizing that Taeyeon was watching her all this while.

“Yes, I went there earlier with Sunny. I was asked to rest and so I might not come
to the company. The doctor asked me to rest for a week. So I will not be in the
company for a week.”
“A week?! Wow…that was long. What to do? I will miss you.” Jessica meant what
she said. She was feeling much more comfortable to tell her feelings to Taeyeon
directly.
Taeyeon was blushing. She did not say anything back to Jessica.
“Maybe I can still visit you, right?”
“Uhh…yeah. Of course.” Taeyeon knows that it will be awkward but she did not
mind having Jessica as a company. She needs someone too.
“Great. Then I will come every day after work.” The younger girl told Taeyeon
happily, not knowing that Taeyeon was having a faster heart rate upon hearing her
statement.
“Okay enough of that. Now lets eat. Say aaahhh~”
Taeyeon was looking at Jessica suspiciously, frowning.
“W-wait. W-what are you doing Sica?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 173/537
“Sica? I like it. Call me with that name from now on. And obviously I am trying to
feed you, pabo yah.” Taeyeon accidently called her with that name. She wants to
call Jessica with that name but she was hesitating, afraid that her personal assistant
would not like it.
“I-I can eat by myself. I am not a kid anymore. Just give me the food.” Taeyeon
reached for the bowl containing her meal but her hand was push away by Jessica.
Taeyeon looked at Jessica and her body suddenly felt cold, goosebumps forming
when Jessica was giving her icy glare to her.
“I said I want to feed you and that is final. Now open your mouth.” The younger
girl was using her monotone so Taeyeon could not fight back because she knows
she will lose at the end too. Taeyeon knows Jessica better already.
Like a good kid, Taeyeon opened her mouth, eyes still looking at Jessica. Jessica
on the other hand also opened her mouth when she was feeding Taeyeon. Taeyeon
feels that she was a kid and Jessica is her mom at that time.
“Thats my girl. Good kid. Say aaahhhh~ again.” Jessica smiled to Taeyeon and
leaving Taeyeon in confusion.

‘What is she, a bipolar?
The sick girl obediently did what Jessica asked her. She ate the bitter medicine
when Jessica forcefully asked her to eat, changed her clothes though she didnt
want to do it because Jessica threatened her that the younger girl will instead do it
for her. Although Taeyeon was hopeless when she was dealing with Jessica, she
was actually did not mind about it.
The two said goodbye to each other when Sunny came. They were standing at the
door, Jessica was ready to leave. Her heart was heavy to leave Taeyeon but she has
to do it too since she got something to do.
“Rest well, eats more and sleeps more okay. Dont worry about the company,Manager Park can handle it at this moment and I will help him, okay.”
Taeyeon can only nod, giving an okay sign to Jessica.
“I will come tomorrow again, okay?” the older girl nodded again.
Jessica was worriedly looking at Taeyeon. She took Taeyeons hand, squeezing it.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 175/537
“And…” Her voice was now soft. Taeyeon looked up at Jessica, expecting her next
word.
Their eyes met.
“I mean it when I say I like you earlier.” She ended it with her smile. Taeyeon
acknowledge it and she smiled back to Jessica, squeezing Jessicas hand.
“I know. Thank you for today, Sica.”
……..
Kwon Yuri went to Kim Cooperation as she needs to discuss on several things. She
was excited because she could see Jessica again. Yuri prepared earlier, fixing here
and there, wanting to look good in front of Jessica. She forgot that Tiffany is
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 176/537
working on the same company for a moment. Yuri used Jessicas favorite perfume,
hoping the girl will remember her.
The tall girl brought her feet straight to Taeyeons department. While walking at
the department, her eyes were wondering searching for a certain someone.
“Yuri?” She heard someone called her. Yuri looked back.
“Oh…Tiffany.” Now she remembered that Tiffany was working there. Yuri smiled
to her girlfriend.
“What are doing here?” Tiffany was approaching Yuri, holding her arm.
“I need to see director Kim.”
“Oh…she was not here. Since two days ago.” Tiffany told Yuri. She knows
Taeyeon was sick but she did not make any effort to ask Taeyeons condition
personally to her boss. She did that because she did not want to give hope or want
Taeyeon to misinterpret her action. After all, her relationship with Taeyeon is just
a-boss-and-a-worker relationship. Tiffany got more important things to do.

“N-no one. I-I am just huh..” Yuri cannot arrange her words properly.
“Haahaa..you look like a fool like that. Come on, lets eat. I am hungry”
Tiffany dragged Yuri. The younger girl was confused but follows obediently. They
took the elevator. Yuri suddenly felt upset, perhaps because of no sight of Jessica
just now. The elevator opened and the girls went inside. When the elevator was
about to close, someone shouted from outside so Yuri pressed the button and the
elevator opened again. A woman walked inside and Yuri was surprised upon
seeing the woman.
Jessica.
Yuri nearly screamed Jessicas name seeing the older girl. She missed Jessica so
much.
“Oh...Yuri-shi! What are you doing here?” Jessica went beside Tiffany, but her
body was facing Yuri who stood beside Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 179/537
“She was looking for director Kim.” Tiffany replied as Yuri did not answer Jessica.
Yuri cannot believe to see Jessica at that moment. But inside, of course she was
happy.
“Oh…Taeyeon was not feeling well. She will be away for one week.”
‘Taeyeon? Now she called her Taeyeon?
Yuri was not pleased hearing Jessica called Taeyeon with that name. She can feel
that Jessica likes Taeyeon but Yuri was not sure. She did not want to confirm it
though because she is not ready yet.
“Whats the matter you want to see her? I can personally tell Taeyeon.” Jessica
was oblivious of the sad Yuri.
“Personally tell her?” Tiffany was curious with Jessicas statement.
“Ah…ever since the first day she did not come to the company, I went to her
house, taking care of her after I finish my work.” Jessica told Tiffany and Yuri

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 180/537
proudly. A smile was visible on her face. The two who heard her were not feeling
good inside. They shared the same feeling; jealousy.
“You meant, you went to director Kims house every day?” Yuri just wanted to
confirm her doubt.
“Yes. Every single day. I need to take care of that kid.” Jessica did not realize it
that she had just stabbed a knife to Yuris heart.
“Now I wonder if she eats already. Aish…I need to call her.” the oblivious girl
took her phone out and dialed Taeyeons number. Her action was being witnessed
by Yuri and Tiffany. Tiffany could not take her eyes off Jessica, she wanted to
crush the phone so that Jessica could not talk to Taeyeon.
‘She is serious with Taeyeon
Tiffany sighed. She did not know why she was not feeling good with the thoughtsof Jessica taking care of Taeyeon. Usually, when Taeyeon was sick, Tiffany is the
one who would take care of the older girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 181/537
“Hello”
Tiffany looked up at Jessica who stood beside her.
“Have you eaten your medicine, Taengoo?” Both Yuri and Tiffany flinched
hearing the name. Jessica was using her sweet voice talking to Taeyeon on the
phone.
“What? You havent eaten? Do you want me to feed you like yesterday,
Taengoo?” Her voice was serious now.
‘She must be close with director Kim
Yuri can only watch Jessica talking to Taeyeon on the phone. Her heart hurt
watching how sweet Jessica talked to Taeyeon. Now Yuri was wondering of
Jessicas relationship with Taeyeon. She knows the two were close but she did not
think the two is a couple.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 182/537
“Okay. I will come later. You better eat or else I will burn your peas!” Jessica
ended the conversation and smiled afterwards. She did not realize that Yuri and
Tiffany were watching her all this while.
‘Taeyeon still keeps her dookong
Tiffany remembered the day she gave the peas to Taeyeon. That day was another
memorable day of her with Taeyeon. She could see Taeyeon was smiling all day
with the peas in her hand. Tiffany missed that moment.
The elevator opened. Yuri asked Jessica to eat with them but Jessica refused
because she needs to buy something for Taeyeon. Hearing Jessicas reason Yuri
felt uneasy and starting to doubt between Jessica and Taeyeons relationship.
Jessica waved to Yuri and Tiffany and rushed to her car, leaving the couple.
…………..
The next day Yuri went to Kim Cooperation again. This time she wanted to meet
Jessica. She told Jessica that she wanted a confirmation from Taeyeon regarding
some matter. Jessica agreed to meet Yuri. The two settled in the big conference
room. They were accompanied with Tiffany. Jessica personally wanted Tiffany to
join the meeting as she did not want to be alone with Yuri. Yuri however did not

“Err…Yes?” Jessica raised her eyebrows, looking at Yuri.
‘Its now or never. I need to ask her
“Dont you….?” Her eyes were pleading. Her gripped on Jessicas wrist tightened.
“Yuri-shi?” Jessica was confused.
Yuri gathered herself, searching for some courage. She needs to be composed. Yuri
looked straight at Jessicas eyes.
“Sica,...dont you remember me?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 185/537
Silence.
“Huh?” Jessica turned her body, now fully facing Yuri.
“Dont you remember me?” Yuri asked again. She almost cried. Her body was
shaking. Her tone was desperate.
“W-what do you mean, Yuri-shi?” Jessica can feel that Yuri was shaking, she can
see that Yuri was nervous. It just made Jessica afraid.
Yuri breathed in deeply.
“I am…not your Yuri-shi. Sica…dont you really remember me? Youre just
pretending, right? I am…” Her tears finally escaped. It just made Jessica wanted to
run away at that moment.
“I am…I am your….”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 186/537
Both of them gasped. Yuri was interrupted by Jessicas phone. Yuri looked at
Jessica, asking with her pleading eyes, not to pick up the phone.
Yuri lost. She released her grip when Jessica picked up the call.
“Taeyeon?”
After hearing that, it just crushed Yuri.
“What? I cant hear you?” Yuri looked away. Her tears were falling down. She did
not want to show it to Jessica.
“Taeyeon. I cannot hear you. Wait, I think there is no service in here.” With that,
Jessica left the room, leaving the crying Yuri.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 187/537
Yuri can only see Jessica walking out from the room. The feeling was the same the
day Jessica left her at the playground few years ago. Yuri felt her heart died at the
moment. Her body was feeling weak. Her head was spinning around.
‘So she doesnt remember me? How can she be so cruel to me? How can Jessica
do this to me?
Yuri was now sure that Jessica really doesnt remember her. She did not want to
accept it. But she has to. Jessica is really leaving her.
‘So Taeyeon is more important to her. How about me, Sica?
……..
Yuri did not come to Kim Cooperation for a few days. She was too weak. Yuri was
too fragile. Shell break the moment she sees Jessica. But that day Yuri was asked
to come to Kim Cooperation because she needs to take an important document.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 188/537
And she can only get the document from Jessica.
Yuri went to the company and brought her heavy heart to the place to meet Jessica.
She walked to the department, uninterested to meet Jessica. Her heart has already
broken when Jessica left for Taeyeon on the other day. No. It was already broken
the day Jessica was missing and did not come for their engagement day.
Yuri stopped walking when she saw Jessica was talking to Tiffany. She stopped
because she heard something that attracts her attention.
“Tiffany…I think, I like Taeyeon.”
Two pair of eyes went wide.
“No…actually. I already confessed to her.”

Tiffany opened the door and saw Yuri was leaning her back to the car, looking at
the ground. Tiffany was wondering why her girlfriend was doing in front of her
house at that moment. She walked slowly, approaching Yuri.
Yuri can feel the presence of Tiffany. She looked up and saw Tiffany in front of
her.
“Tiffany…I already made my decision.”
Tiffany was confused.

Pink Envelope
Director Kim Taeyeon woke up early, preparing herself for work. She decided to
come early after she has been away, sick for a week. She missed her work. She
missed to be in the company.
‘I miss seeing Tiffany. I miss her.
Taeyeon was wondering why Tiffany did not ask about her condition or where she
had gone. Didnt that girl worry about her anymore?
Sigh.
The director was feeling great that day. As soon as Taeyeon stepped her feet in the
company, she was greeted by the passing workers who came earlier than her.
Taeyeon smiled brightly to each and every one of them. No one knows that she
was coming back for work except for her personal assistant, Jessica. Her personal
assistant really did a great job in forcing Taeyeon to eat the medicine in every
single day, Taeyeon never had a chance to skip from eating the bitter medicine.
Though Jessica forced Taeyeon, the blonde was actually felt thankful to Jessica for
taking good care of her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 193/537
‘I need to at least treat her lunch for her sincerity in taking care of me
Taeyeon took the elevator. She did not know why but she cannot stop smiling,
perhaps she could see Tiffany again that day. Taeyeon already put aside about the
earlier incident on that evening where she had confessed to Tiffany. She did not
care anymore about it. She just wanted to see Tiffany.
The elevator opened and Taeyeon walked to her office. She was expecting a sight
of her workers working on their respective tables, working with their computers or
even checking files. But that morning was different. Taeyeon saw a group of her
workers, forming a small circle. It seems that they were busy discussing over
something. Taeyeon can only shook her head, something will never change.
The director was slowly approaching the group, they did not realize the presence of
a petite body coming towards them. Taeyeon noticed that they were gathering
around Booms table.
‘This guy must have something to share again
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 194/537
“She is lucky. I envy her. They look really perfect with each other. Right?” That
was coming from Boom. People surrounding him can only nod, agreeing. Taeyeon
was curious of what he said. She however did not disturb them yet.
“Although they are a perfect couple, still…nothing can compare between me and
director Kim.” Boom said proudly, making people surrounding him rolled their
eyes.
“Now I wonder why director Kim did not come back yet. I mean, didnt she miss
me? How could director Kim live without texting me, telling about her condition,
huh?” The proud man was ask ing his friends, or more like his audience.
“It has been a week already. I miss my director Kim.”
Hearing of what Boom had said Taeyeon just wanted to puke. She decided to wake
up her workers about her existence. Taeyeon walked slowly, to the small group.
“Ehem.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 195/537
All heads were turning to her. Taeyeon showed her ‘bossy-look and she could see
her workers seem shocked seeing her. Taeyeon can only smirk.
“So…this is what you guys have been doing while I was gone, huh? Gossiping
around is all you can do, Boom-shi?” Taeyeon looked at Boom, expecting his
answer. Of course Taeyeon was not mad, she knows that her workers were
working while she was gone. Thanks to Jessica. Taeyeon just wanted to tease
them.
“W-what. O-Of course n-not, director Kim. Were just talking about something.”
Boom was stuttering, surprised seeing Taeyeon, the woman who made him crazy
all this while, appearing in front of him.
“Hmm…what are you guys talking about huh? Talking bad about someone again?”
The blonde raised one of her eyebrows.
Taeyeon then looked around, searching for a face that she missed a lot. Her eyes
landed on Tiffanys table. Taeyeon noticed that Tiffany was not there. She was
wondering why her secretary did not come yet. Maybe because it was still early.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 196/537
“Of course not, director Kim. We are good people, we are not going to talk bad
about someone.” Boom answered, or more like he was trying to defend himself.
“Then…what is so interesting till you got almost the whole people gathering
around your table?”
“Omo! Director Kim, dont tell me that youre jealous?” Boom blinked his eyes.
Taeyeon was unable to comprehend what he said earlier. Then she just realized
what he meant. In returned, Taeyeon also blinked her eyes, not believing how this
guy can be so confident of himself.
“OMO! Director Kim, did you just flirt with me?” Boom did not expect Taeyeon to
react like that. He thought Taeyeon was responding to him. Boom was in shocked,he covered his mouth, seeing how cute his boss blinking her eyes to him.
“….”
Taeyeon was left speechless.

She smiled remembering that. Taeyeon looked at the envelope and was about to
opened it when someone interrupted.
“Oh. Youre coming already, director Kim!” a high-pitched sweet and familiar
voice can be heard. Taeyeon looked at her right and found Jessica coming to her
direction. Her personal assistant was giving her sweet smile. Taeyeon can only
smiled back to Jessica and waiting for her to stand near her. The older girl was
fully aware of Jessicas feelings towards her. Since Jessica doesnt expecting a
reply from Taeyeon, so Taeyeon decided to just keep herself shut. She honestly has
no idea of what her feelings is towards Jessica. But Taeyeon knows that her
feelings towards Jessica is not an ordinary feelings.
“You okay already?” Jessica placed her hand on Taeyeons forehead, not caring of
others giving suspicious look to her. Taeyeon noticed of the eyes that were
watching her and Jessica so Taeyeon responded.
“I-I am perfectly fine already. Dont worry.” Taeyeon gave an awkward smile to
the younger girl, hoping the younger girl realize her action. Jessica got the message
and brought back her hand. Her eyes landed on the pink envelope on Taeyeons
hand.

This Is Real?
It was like in a movie, I turned my head slowly, looking, searching for the familiar
voice.
There.
Yuri and Tiffany walked towards us, hand in hand.
I thought I misheard of something. And so I kept myself composed in front of
them. I must heard it wrong.
“Me and Tiffany are going to be engaged.” Yuri voiced out, looking at me directly.
I gulped and looked at their intertwined hands. Yuri was holding Tiffanys hand so
tight. I may look dumb in front of them.
“This weekend.” Yuri looked at Tiffany and smiled to her girlfriend. I saw
everything with my eyes.

surrounding me to ask for confirmation. They were smiling and were
congratulating Tiffany and Yuri. And I asked why they were doing that.
In my hand was the pink envelope. I looked at it for a long time. I put my bag
down. My body suddenly felt weak. My heart feels heavy. I looked at Tiffany once
again but still she didnt look at me.
‘Why Tiffany, why?
I took my time opening the envelope. I was shaking. My hands were trembling. My
lips were frozen. I successfully get the card out from the envelope. I asked myself
if I really should open it or not. I was curious. I need to know. Slowly, I opened the
card and read it.
Kwon Yuri and Tiffany Hwang.
I only read the names. And I read it many times, to confirm my doubts.

I put aside the card. My head started to spin crazily. Headache. I felt dizzy. My
breath became shorten. I need oxygen. I need air.
My eyes were searching for Tiffany. For a long time, our eyes finally met. Tiffany
finally looked at me. I was searching for something in her eyes. Love perhaps. But
there was nothing. So empty. Her feelings for me…had gone? Gone just like that?
Did she realize of what she had done?
Did she know what she had done to me?
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 205/537
I was fully aware of the situation. I finally found the answer, I found the truth. The
truth that slowly kills me inside, the truth that is so hard for me to believe, the truth
that could end everything.
The truth…that Tiffany doesnt love me anymore.
……….
It was probably the hardest time for Taeyeon to stay rooted in her place. Her
workers one by one were approaching the couple, shaking their hands, saying good
luck to them, congratulating them. Taeyeon can only see the scene in front of her.
Her eyes felt heavy.
‘Tiffany doesnt love me anymore
Taeyeon wanted to cry at that time. She wanted to cry so badly. Taeyeon wanted to
run from everyone. Her eyes began watery. Her body was trembling, shaking.
Jessica who stood beside her noticed that Taeyeon was so quite. She was worried
so she decided to talk with Taeyeon.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 206/537
“Hey. Are you okay?” Jessica put her hand on Taeyeons shoulder. She didnt get
any responds from the older girl.
“Director Kim, youre not feeling well again?” She waved her hand in front of
Taeyeons face, wanting her attention. Taeyeon still did not move. This just made
Jessica worried. The younger girl shook Taeyeons body. Finally she got
Taeyeons attention.
“Youre spacing out. Whats wrong?” Jessica was frowning.
Taeyeon slowly shook her head, telling Jessica that she was perfectly fine.
‘I am fine. I am truly fine. I am a good woman. I should be fine
“You look so pale right now. I thought youre fine already. Do you want to go
home instead?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 207/537
“…N-no. I am perfectly felt well. Please dont worry about me.” Taeyeon smiled
weakly to Jessica. The younger girl was not convinced with her boss but she didnt
question her further.
Jessica looked at Tiffany and Yuri. Most of the workers were already settled in
their respective tables. Jessica decided to approach the couple also.
“Director Kim, come on.” Jessica dragged Taeyeon, smiling happily.
The blonde girl was still in shock. Her mind could not process the information that
she had just received. One week she was gone and big thing could happen.
Taeyeon did not understand. How come Tiffany didnt inform her about this? Is
she really not that important? Taeyeon was slowly blaming herself for confessing
to Tiffany that night.
‘Maybe if I didnt confess to her, she would not engage this fast
Taeyeon felt her body was being dragged by Jessica. She woke up from her
thoughts. Taeyeon looked in front and realize that she was approaching Tiffany
and Yuri. Her steps became heavier and her body felt weak.

Overflowing Tears
Kim Taeyeon and Jung Jessica stood in front of the couple. Taeyeon did not want
to look at them yet. Her heart was broken so badly, crushed into million pieces. It
dies already. She could even faint at that moment. Taeyeon was unable to handle
her mixed of feelings at that moment.
“Tiffany, finally you guys made your decision. I am happy for the both of you.”
Jessica then hugged Tiffany. Yuri who stood beside Tiffany can only watch Jessica
with an unknown feeling. Her heart was still able to beat at that special rhythm
whenever she sees Jessica and Yuri did not understand her heart. Yuri somehow
wanted to blame Jessica for what had happen. She decided to engage with Tiffany
because Yuri thinks it was really the time for her to move on and forget Jessica.
After all, Jessica has Taeyeon already.
Yuri saw things and thinks like that. However she did not blame Taeyeon. Taeyeon
did not know anything so Yuri did not want to hold a grudge against the older girl.
“Yeah, thank you.” Tiffanys voice came out, almost whispering.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 210/537
Jessica then shook Tiffanys hand, congratulating the girl. Then she stood in front
of Yuri. Jessica smiled at Yuri and offered her hand. The younger girl looked down
and saw the hand. Shes supposed to shake it back. But Yuri was afraid that she
could not let go of the hand after she took it.
Yuri took her time and only realized the situation when Tiffany nudged her.
“Uhh…I am sorry.” The girl then shook Jessicas hand. People can see that she
was smiling, but inside, she felt terrible. Yuri felt hopeless in front of Jessica. She
was devastated knowing the fact that Jessica does not remember her anymore. Yuri
could not accept the truth and so she made decision to move on.
“Its okay. You must have a lot to think. I understand. Take care of Tiffany. You
two look perfect together, right Director Kim?” Taeyeon who stood rooted on the
floor, looking down the whole time hearing the conversation going on can only
nodded. ‘Perfect, when Taeyeon heard that, she almost flinched. She wanted to
object it, but she knows she cannot. She has no energy left. Taeyeon was weak.
The older girl was aware that the others were waiting for her reply, including
Tiffany. So she decided to speak out.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 211/537
“Yeah…you guys are…good to be together.” She cannot say the word ‘perfect. It
was too much for Taeyeon to handle, to accept the situation. How can she accept it
when it is too sudden? No…she cannot and she will never be accepting it.
The older girl responded weakly. Nodding her head like a kid. Eyes were still on
the floor. Taeyeon could not look up to see Tiffany. At that moment, Taeyeon just
wanted to let her tears out, she wanted to pour her heart out, Taeyeon wanted to cry
out.
There was an awkward silence. The four girls did not know what to do, what else
to talk. Luckily for Jessica, she could escape the awkward situation when one of
the workers called her, asking for her help. Jessica excused herself and went to the
worker. She passed Yuri and her hand accidently brushed against Yuris hand.
Yuri gasped at the contact. Jessica however did not realize it and just walked away.
Now, only Taeyeon and the couple left. The two were still avoiding each others
eyes. Yuri was looking at Taeyeon. She noticed that the girl was not as bright as
she saw her earlier. Yuri wanted to ask Taeyeon but she decided not to ask, Yuri
thought maybe Taeyeon was still sick and so she had that gloomy face plastered on
her face.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 212/537
“Hmm…Tiffany, have you given Director Kim the invitation card?” Yuri broke
the silence.
Tiffany turned her head to Yuri and shook her head.
Yuri smiled, she now has a reason to sneak out from the awkward atmosphere. Not
only that, Yuri actually wanted to look for Jessica. She knows she should not do
that since she is going to engage with Tiffany soon. If she did that, it means that
Yuri was actually lying at herself and Tiffany. But Yuri at that time did not want to
think of the consequences, she just wanted to see Jessica. Yes, Yuri was pathetic,
at some point, she wanted to avoid and run from Jessica but at some point, Yuri
wanted to see Jessica so badly that she could suffer at the end without seeing
Jessica.
“Then I will get it for Director Kim.” The younger girl then went away, leaving
Tiffany and the broken girl. Tiffany wanted to protest but Yuri already left her with
Taeyeon. Now, Tiffany did not know what to do, talk to Taeyeon and ask her
condition or just being muted, eyeing the older girl.
On the other hand, Taeyeon just wanted to cry. She wanted to cry in front of
Tiffany, begging at the girl not to agree with the engagement. Taeyeon wanted to
kneel in front of Tiffany, asking her to come back to her. Taeyeon wanted to tell
Tiffany that she still love her and not just like her. Taeyeon wanted to do it
but…she cannot. Taeyeon cannot do it. Her body felt weak as the time passed by.
8/9/2019 Between the Two

She was trembling. Her eyes felt heavy. Her tears were about to come out. Taeyeon
was feeling cold. Her body was shaking. Taeyeon was fighting with herself. She
wanted to stay composed in front of Tiffany, she wanted to stay strong. But at the
end, Taeyeon lost.
She found herself sniffing.
Her tears finally escaped…sliding down her face, betraying her.
Tiffany looked at the girl in front of her. Taeyeon was still looking at the floor,
avoiding her eyes. She wanted to tell Taeyeon not to bother her anymore. She
wanted to tell Taeyeon that her heart was not for the older girl anymore. Tiffany
wanted to be mean towards Taeyeon. She was about to open her mouth but then,
soon after that, Tiffany noticed that Taeyeon was sniffing.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 214/537
Tiffany then realized that Taeyeon was sobbing. Her heart instantly dropped at the
sight in front of her. Taeyeon rarely cries. And when Taeyeon cries, it was only
because Taeyeon was deeply hurt.
Tiffany did not know what to do. She knows why Taeyeon was like that. She
knows she has hurt Taeyeon. Tiffany then decided to comfort the girl. She took
one step forward, approaching Taeyeon. Tiffany felt her heart hurt seeing Taeyeon
in that state.
Taeyeon found herself sobbing so hard. She did not want people surrounding her to
notice her condition especially Tiffany. She did not sure whether Tiffany already
knows that she was actually sobbing hard or not. Taeyeon did not want to cry in
front of Tiffany. The older girl finally decided to left her spot and walked fast to
her office, leaving Tiffany who were about to place her hand on Taeyeons
shoulder. Taeyeon closed the door and locked it immediately. The curtain was
already down, blocking others to see her in her broken state.
Taeyeon walked to the couch, placing her bag on the couch. She then sat on the
floor, leaning her back against the couch.
Taeyeon cannot hold her tears anymore and she just let it out. Taeyeon poured her
heart out, she cannot hold her emotion. Taeyeon cried. She cried alone. Her tears
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 215/537
were rapidly flowing down her face. Taeyeon felt so broken, she felt devastated.
She felt miserable. Her heart seems to be ripped, torn into pieces. The pain was
now overflowing.
Taeyeon did not understand why Tiffany left her. Taeyeon started to reminisced
the time she shared with Tiffany. She remembered the promise that they had made,
to stay with each other forever no matter what. Taeyeon needs Tiffany, she wanted
Tiffany to stay by her side. She wished someone would wake her up at that time
because she still could not believe. Taeyeon still could not accept the fact that
Tiffany does not love her anymore, Taeyeon cant still accept the fact that Tiffany,
the only one she loves would be engage with someone else other than her. Taeyeon
did not understand why she had to suffer. Why she cant live with Tiffany? Did she
really make a huge mistake in the past until Tiffany had to leave her hanging like
this? Taeyeon just did not understand why Tiffany need to leave her when she
already told her that she still likes her, that she still has feelings to Tiffany.
Am I too late?
Questions kept flowing in her head and so her tears down her face. Taeyeon was
still crying, sobbing so hard. No one knows how badly hurt she was. No
one…except for Taeyeon.

Outside, Tiffany was standing outside Taeyeons office. She could hear Taeyeon
was crying, sobbing and sniffing hard. She also wanted to cry.
But Tiffany…at end, she left.

Only Tears
After receiving the shocking news about the engagement of Yuri and Tiffany, Kim
Taeyeon starts to change. She locked herself in her office, only going out for
meetings or several important events that need her presence. She rarely talks with
the staff, eats her lunch, greet and smiling brightly to everyone. All she can do was
showing her cold expression. It makes Jessica worried.
Taeyeon also left the office late at night. Tiffany also noticed what happened to
Taeyeon. She was actually worried for the older girl would do something bad. But
Tiffany was too busy preparing for her engagement day so she did not really pay
attention for Taeyeon. Tiffany knows Jessica is always there for Taeyeon so she
believes that Jessica was taking care of Taeyeon.
Taeyeons sudden change of behavior has becoming a great concern to Jessica.
Jessica actually talked to the older girl, asking for her problems or anything that
bothering her but the older girl refused to talk about it. Taeyeon assured Jessica
that she was perfectly fine and said that she was just into the project. Of course
Jessica doesnt believe Taeyeon. Jessica however does not want to force Taeyeon
because she respects Taeyeons privacy.
Almost every day Jessica bought food for Taeyeon, for her lunch. Jessica was
having a hard time to ask the older girl to eat. Usually, her trick would be by
shooting her icy glare to Taeyeon but when she did that these few days, Taeyeon
seems unaffected by it. Since Jessica was deadly worried about her bosss health,
she has no other way but to force the older girl to eat by dragging her to eat her

meal on the couch. Taeyeon often scold her personal assistant but the younger girl
did not care and she seems not afraid of Taeyeon. So at last, Taeyeon will always
lose and Jessica wins.
Taeyeon on the other hand felt lost. She had lost her mind, her soul. She cannot
think straight, she does not feel right. Every time she saw Tiffany, Taeyeon just
want to cry. She wanted to approach that girl, ask her to cut off their engagement
and come back to her, but Taeyeon has no courage to do it. She knows Tiffany is
happy with Yuri. And Taeyeon does not want to ruin the relationship though it
ripped her heart inside. Taeyeon received the invitation card but she did not open it
yet. She only knows the day of the engagement but Taeyeon did not bother to
check for the time as she has no plan to come to the event.
The day to the engagement between Yuri and Tiffany was nearing. Taeyeon felt
her days went so slow. She filled up her days with work, work and work. But for
the couple, as the time goes by, they were busy preparing for their event. Taeyeon
has no idea what has going on with her. She asked herself why she did not ask
Tiffany to cancel the engagement day, why she did not talk to Tiffany properly but
instead she got scared to approach Tiffany. Taeyeon even gave a break to Yuri
from discussing their project and given her time to prepare instead.
Taeyeon has no idea whats running on her mind, maybe, she thought maybe… she
has given up and she just wanted to see Tiffany happy.
……..
Tomorrow is Sunday, the day where Tiffany is going to engage with Yuri.
8/9/2019 Between the Two

‘The day I will lose Tiffany
It was already 6:30pm. Her employees should have gone home already. Taeyeon
was still in her office, making herself busy with her work. She wanted the time to
go fast, Taeyeon wanted to skip tomorrow, she wanted tomorrow will never come.
Taeyeon sighed. She decided to rest her mind for a while. Taeyeon was thinking
about tomorrow. Jessica earlier asked her to come with her for tomorrows event.
Her workers were busy discussing what gifts should they give to Yuri and Tiffany.
Taeyeon can just let the discussion passed her ears. She was not interested. She did
not even plan to come to the event. The heartbroken girl looked outside.
It was raining heavily. The rain keeps pouring down, bathing the earth.
‘Rain…they are just like my tears. It keeps flowing down
Taeyeon sighed. She felt pathetic. The girl decided to go home. She felt tired,physically, mentally and emotionally. She needs rest. Taeyeon packed her stuff,
shut down the computer, turned off the air-conditioner and then she walked out
from her office. Taeyeon made her way to the elevator. Her body was tired and so
her feet. She pressed the button and the elevator opened.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 220/537
Taeyeon saw a woman.
Tiffany.
They looked at each other for a longest time.
‘I miss you Tiffany
Tiffany broke the eye contact. Taeyeon sighed again. She stepped her tired feet
into the elevator. She pressed the closed button and stood beside Tiffany. Only the
two of them were in the elevator. It was silence, so quite. Taeyeons heart starts to
beat fast. She looked down to the floor.
‘Maybe this is the time I could talk to her…
Taeyeon was fighting with herself. She was sighing the whole time. Tiffany
noticed that Taeyeon was sighing for a lot of times. She turned her head to
Taeyeon, looking at the older girl. Tiffany noticed that Taeyeon looked so tired.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 221/537
Her face was pale, Taeyeon is a thinner. Her eyes were not even better, it seems
her eyes were swollen. Tiffany wondered why. When she saw Taeyeon earlier,
Tiffany cannot deny that her heart skipped a bit. But the girl assumed that perhaps
she was just surprised seeing Taeyeon.
Having Tiffany beside her was a very hard situation for Taeyeon to handle.
‘Shall I talk to her…or not?
After having a mental discussion with herself, Taeyeon finally decided to talk to
Tiffany. After all, that was her only chance. The older girl looked up and turned
her body, facing Tiffany. She took a long breath before opening her mouth.
“Tiffany…” Her voice came soft but Tiffany could hear it. Somehow, Tiffany
missed Taeyeon calling her with that name.
Tiffany also then turned her body facing Taeyeon, looking at the older girl.
“Tiffany I…” She wanted to confess again for the last time. But Taeyeon was
somehow felt weak. Taeyeon then looked at Tiffanys eyes, seeking for an
encouragement.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 222/537
Tiffany on the other side was nervous. She did not know what Taeyeon was about
to tell her. She noticed that Taeyeon was having a hard time to deliver her words
and she could see that Taeyeon need something to push her words out. Tiffany
nodded her head, encouraging Taeyeon to continue.
‘I cannot do this
Sighed. The older girl can only sighed.
Taeyeon closed her eyes, preparing herself of what she was about to say. She then
opened her eyes.
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany once more and their eyes met again. Taeyeon then took
Tiffanys hands and held it.
Gulped.
“Tiffany…I need to say this to you. I know you know that I still like you. But
Tiffany, it is not just that. I…I actually still…” Her tears almost escaped again.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 224/537
Taeyeon almost fall when she heard Yuris name. Her hope was gone instantly
hearing that name.
Ding!
The elevator opened and Tiffany was the first one to step out from it, still talking to
Yuri on the phone.
“I am already finished. Yeah. I will wait for you…”
Taeyeon can only see Tiffany left the elevator, walking out from it…
‘Walking out from me
Her tears that she had hold for the longest time that she could was now flowing
down, sliding slowly down her face. Taeyeon walked out from the elevator and
saw Tiffany was already waiting outside for Yuri. She can only see the back of the
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 225/537
person that she loves. Taeyeon wanted to confess earlier but now…she knows her
chance just gone like that.
‘Maybe this is it
Taeyeon took small steps, going out from the building. A few meters away from
her were Tiffany, standing alone. Tiffany seems to forget what Taeyeon wanted to
say earlier. Taeyeon can only watched Tiffany who seems so excited to meet for
her girlfriend.
Taeyeon can only watched Tiffany sadly.
‘This is going to be the last time
It was still raining heavily. Taeyeon felt glad that it was raining. At least she could
hide her tears away. Taeyeon then walked passed Tiffany, taking the stairs, slowly
at a time. Though it seems impossible, but at that moment, Taeyeon wantedTiffany to call her name.

…………..
Kring! Kring!
Her alarm had awoken her. 9:30 Am. A few hours left…then Tiffany will be
Yuris fiancée.
Her eyes hurt. Due to the constant crying from last night. Taeyeon rubbed her eyes
and opened them slowly. She can still see. Taeyeon hoped that she would be blind
at the morning. The blonde girl then woke up from her bed, heading to her
bathroom, for shower.
Taeyeon took her time in everything that she did. She knows what day was that
day. Taeyeon just want the day to go fast. That was the only thing she wished for.
Taeyeon wore something simple for that day, jeans and white simple-designed-
shirt. She decided to go out. Taeyeon took her black jacket, grabbed her keys and
left her home. Taeyeon drove her car mindlessly. She did not know where to go.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 228/537
Taeyeon just wants to be free. Her phone kept on ringing. Taeyeon knows it was
probably Jessica asking her to come to the engagement event. But Taeyeon ignored
her phone and enjoyed her ride.
It was already 12:00pm. Taeyeon bought something for lunch and somehow her
car ended at her company. Taeyeon wanted to kill the time so she decided to
continue her unfinished works. From outside, Taeyeon looks normal. People might
think that Taeyeon was a successful businesswoman who really loves her work.
She even sacrifice her weekend, working. But deep inside, only Taeyeon knowsthe truth, only she knows her actions.
Only Taeyeon knows how broken her heart is.
………………………………..
The weather was nice. People were constantly coming to Wish Hotel where the
engagement event will be going on. It was already 1:30pm. Another half an hour
the event will start. Jessica checked her phones for thousandths times but still she
havent got a single reply from Taeyeon. She wondered where Taeyeon had gone
to.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 229/537
Jessica brought a gift for Yuri and Tiffany. She asked where Tiffanys room was
and a lady showed her the direction. Jessica thanked the lady. She knocked the
door for several times but no one answered her. She twisted the door knob and
opened it slowly. Jessica walked into the room and observed the room.
Weird. The room was so quite. Jessica wondered around, searching for Tiffany.
“Tiffany. Tiffany.” Still she got none responding to her.
“Tiff -“ Jessica stopped when she saw someone, a woman, was standing at the
balcony. She made her way to the person.
“Excuse me, do you know where-Oh…Yuri.” Jessica realized the woman was
actually Yuri.
“Oh…S-Sic- Jessica.” Yuri was obviously surprised seeing Jessica in f ront of her.
She looked at Jessica from head to toe.
“Youre…beautiful, Sica.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 230/537
Yuri then realized what she just said.
“Uhh…Why are you here?” Immediately she asked.
“Oh…I was actually looking for Tiffany. A lady told me this is Tiffanys room but
I think I entered a wrong room then.”
“Uhh…Yeah. I guess so.” Yuri was still eyeing Jessica.
‘Sica is so beautiful
“I bought a present for the both of you. Congratulation, Yuri.” Jessica was
obviously oblivious of Yuris gaze. She approached Yuri which only made Yuri
felt uncomfortable. Yuri suddenly felt her stomach was filled with butterflies.
“Yuri…you look so gorgeous today. Tiffany is lucky. I envy her.” Jessicas last
statement just made Yuri wondered.
“What do you mean?” Yuri was still hoping for something though she knows it
was impossible.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 231/537
“Yeah. I mean, youre very smart, know how to do business, beautiful...Tiffany
must be happy.” Jessica looked at Yuri in the day when she said that. Yuri got
hypnotized under Jessicas eyes.
The feelings came back. The special feelings when Yuris with Jessica were now
coming back to Yuri. It made Yuri felt breathless. Jessica always made her feel
like this but Yuri does not know why. Through Jessicas eyes, Yuri can still see
and feel something. Something that she was so sure that Jessica also felt it.
Jessicas eyes were reflecting something. Her eyes seem like telling her a story.
And Yuri wanted to know the story. That feeling that she had felt most of the time
when she is with Jessica. That feeling…
‘Love
There is no doubt that her feeling was actually…love.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 232/537
‘I love Jessica
Yuri now realized her feelings. Yuri just woke up from a reality. Yuri took
Jessicas hand, startling the older girl.
“Jessica. Sica. I-its…” Yuri needs to do this. Jessica was confused with Yuris
action.
“Sica…look at me. Its me, your -“
“Yuri…lets go. It is going to start soon.” A lady came and interrupts the moment.
Their heads turned to the lady. A sighed escaped from Yuri.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 233/537
“…”
“Okay. I will bring her.” Jessica looked at Yuri and smiled. She squeezed Yuris
hand that was holding hers earlier to get her attention. Jessica dragged the
speechless Yuri out of the room. She did not know that Yuri was about to tell her
something important. Her head was throbbing frantically, Yuri nearly faint.
Yuri was dragged to the room where everyone was already seated, waiting for her.
Across the room was Tiffany, smiling at her. Yuri looked confused. As she was
walking, approaching Tiffany, her eyes were searching for Jessica.
‘Sica. My Sica
Yuri wanted to cry at the moment. She was already stood beside Tiffany. Tiffany
noticed Yuris confused expression. She was worried.
“Yuri, are you okay?” Tiffany shook Yuris arm. Her eyes were still search ing for
Jessica.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 234/537
She just found out her love.
‘Sica is my love
Yuri then realized her situation. In her hand was a ring, an engagement ring.
Beside her was Tiffany. To her left were her parents, smiling proudly at her. Yuri
looked at her father. Her father was nodding her head, asking Yuri to put the ring
to Tiffany.
In front of her were the guests, clapping their hands.
To her right was Jessica. The only one she loves.
‘Am I too late to realize my feeling?
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 235/537
Yuri closed her eyes. A tear escaped.
‘I am sorry…Sica
……..
Taeyeon felt asleep in her office. Taeyeon looked around and noticed that it was
already 8:30pm. She knows she slept for a long time. When she looked at her
watch, she also knows that the event was already ended.
Taeyeon woke up lazily from the couch. She went out from her office. Taeyeon
saw Tiffanys table. Her feet slowly brought her to the table. On Tiffanys table,
there was a photo of Tiffany smiling happily. Taeyeon took the photo and looked
at it. She brought her hand and caressing the photo.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 236/537
Taeyeon then realized that she was sobbing hard seeing Tiffanys photo. She
placed the photo on her chest and embraced it.
‘Tiffany. My Fany
……………
Yuri and Tiffany were already engaged. Tiffany is Yuris fiancée. Yuri felt her
body was weak after the event. She was smiling to the guests who were
congratulating her but inside Yuri was dying. If she could, she wants to run away.
She wants to run with Jessica. Yuri did not want to hurt Tiffany and cancel off the
engagement, after all it was her fault.
Yuri sent Tiffany home. The ride was slow and quite. Both of them were tired and
in their own thoughts. Yuri was thinking about whats going to happen in the
future. Whats going to her whenever she sees Jessica, Yuri knows that she could
not handle her feelings when Jessicas around. Tiffany on the other hand was
wondering where Taeyeon was and why she did not feel so happy being engaged
with Yuri.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 237/537
They were already in front of Tiffanys house. Yuri opened the door for Tiffany
and smiled weakly to her.
“Thank you for today, Yuri. I am glad everything runs smoothly.” Tiffany held
Yuris hand.
“Youre welcome. Thank you also for today.” Yuri kissed Tiffanys hand. Tiffany
smiled happily.
The couple did not realize that a pair of eyes was watching them.
Yuri then said goodbye to Tiffany and drove away. Tiffany waved at Yuri and
waited for Yuri until her car disappeared from her sight. Then Tiffany unlocked the
gate. She inserted the key into the hole, pushing the door opened and walked into
it. She was about to close it when…

“T-Tiffany.” A familiar voice.
Tiffany opened back the door.
“Di-director Kim?”
Tiffany was surprised to see Taeyeon. The older girl was approaching her, slowly.
Taeyeon was looking at the ground.
“W-what are you doing here?” Tiffany was trying to look at Taeyeons face.
“….”
“Director Kim.” Tiffany noticed that Taeyeons body was shaking.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 239/537
Taeyeon decided to visit Tiffany at her home. She thought she really needs to talk
to Tiffany.
To greet her….and to say goodbye.
It was so hard for Taeyeon to lift up her head and look at Tiffany. Taeyeon was
afraid that she could collapse in front of Tiffany. Taeyeon does not want that. She
needs to be strong. But now…she was so weak .She was fragile. After witnessing
the earlier scenes, Taeyeon has no energy left. She failed to control herself.
And she always fails to hide her tears away.
“Do-dont call me director Kim, T-Tiffany-ah. We are not working.” Taeyeon
finally lift up her head.
Their eyes met.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 240/537
Tiffany noticed that Taeyeons eyes were a bit swollen. She gasped. Seeing
Taeyeon in that condition just pains her heart.
“D-dont be afraid. I-I wont harm you Fany-ah.” The older girls eyes starts to
watery.
“What are you doing here…Taeyeon?” After a long time, Tiffany now called her
with that name.
“I didnt come earlier. I-I just want to say…” Her tears were finally flowing down
her face, betraying her.
Tiffany saw that. Her heart dropped at the sight.
“I want to say…huhh…C-Congratulation to you, Fany-ah.” Taeyeon wiped away
her tears.
“I hope youre happy with Y-Yuri.” Taeyeon wiped away her tears again.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 241/537
“Taeyeon, why are you being like this? Why are you crying?” Tiffany also wanted
to cry seeing Taeyeon in that state.
“I-I am just happy for you, Fany-ah. Finally, youre…youre….” Her next word
was supposed to be ‘engaged. But Taeyeon seems cant no longer bring herself
and so she stopped. She put both her hands on her face, hiding once again the rapid
tears that constantly flowing out.
It was such a pain seeing Taeyeon like that, Tiffany felt her dam almost broke
seeing Taeyeon weak in front of her.
“I am sorry. I am s-sorry. I should not be like this.” Taeyeon wiped away her tears
with her hands. She took a long breath and then looked at Tiffany.
Taeyeon observed at the person in front of her. Looking at her eyes.
‘She was mine. We love each other before. And I still love her even now. After allthese years, how can I live without her? She is my life, she is my love. She is the
reason why I was happy. Tiffany is my everything. How can this happen to me, to
both of us? Why I need to lose her at the end? I love her with all my heart. But now
Tiffany is already someone elses. I should be happy for her
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 242/537
There was an awkward silence.
“Fany-ah…for the last time, c-can I…hug you?” Taeyeon was not breaking the eye
contacts.
“I…”
Taeyeon did not wait for Tiffanys answer. She moved forward and hugged
Tiffany tightly. Her head was resting on the younger girls shoulder. Tiffany was
stunned at her place and cannot do anything. Tiffany felt her heart beat fast.
“Just…just let me hug you like this, for the last time, Fany-ah.”
Tiffany can feel Taeyeon was embracing her so tightly. Somehow Tiffany felt safe
and secure. She was not so near with Taeyeon like this, she never gets a hugged
when they met the first time when Taeyeon appeared at the company. Taeyeons
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 243/537
body felt warm. Tiffany felt Taeyeons body was shaking. She realized that
Taeyeon crying. Her shirt was damp, Tiffany can feel it.
‘Why Taeyeon-ah
“F-Fany-ah…why do we have to be like this? Why…Why I need to be a-alone?
Why-why do you left m-me, Fany-ah? I still like y-you. I never l- lie to you…”
Taeyeon was sobbing, her voice was cracking. It breaks Tiffanys heart.
“Why Fany-ah? Why do you do that when you know my f-feelings? Wh-what I did
wrong?” The younger girl was silently crying having Taeyeon so broken in her
arm.
“I cannot live without you Fany-ah. How am I supposed to live now? How can you
do this to me? I-I miss you each day. It hurts me seeing you with other people. But
I cant…I cannot do anything too. You-you have someone a-already. You-you
keep pushing me a-away, F-Fany-ah.” Taeyeon was crying so hard and she cannot
hold anymore. She did not want to see Tiffany looking at her crying like that and
so she hugged her even tighter. Tiffany felt guilty inside. She did not know why.
Her heart just break seeing Taeyeon was suffering because of her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 244/537
“Fany-ah….I…”
“…..I love you. I always love you, Fany-ah.”
Tiffany was surprised hearing what just came out from Taeyeon.
“I love you, Tiffany.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 245/537
All this time, Tiffany was not convinced when Taeyeon said she likes her. Hearing
what Taeyeon just said just made her heart throbbing wildly. She did not expect
Taeyeons sudden confession.
Taeyeon then released Tiffany from the hug. She wiped away her tears. Tiffany
was still shocked.
“A-After this, I promise, I will not…disturb you anymore, Tiffany. I will not
bother you anymore, I-I promise.” Taeyeon looked at Tiffany. She saw a tear slides
down Tiff anys face. Taeyeon brought her thumb and brushed away the tear. She
caressed Tiffanys cheek for the last time, admiring Tiffanys soft skin.
“I am sorry for everything, for what have I done to you. I cannot take care of you
properly.”
Taeyeon then placed both of her hands on Tiffanys head. She leaned forward and
kissed Tiffanys forehead. Taeyeon stayed like that for a while, pouring her love to
Tiffany. She broke away, leaving Tiffany hanging.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 246/537
“Taeyeon, I-“ The older girl cut off Tiffany, silencing her with her finger. She
shook her head.
“I am happy being with you. I never regret living with you.”
Taeyeon stepped back. Her tears were still running down her face but she
controlled it.
“Take care, Fany-ah.”
With that, Taeyeon walked away from Tiffany.

Missing Hearts
One week. It was already one week since Tiffanys engagement. One week has
passed by and Taeyeon didnt come to the company. She was replaced by Manager
Park for a moment. The workers were confused why Taeyeon did not show up.
They were worried, including Jessica and Tiffany. Manager Park told them that
Taeyeon was assigned for important meetings arranged by her father and so she
has to attend the meeting. Tiffany however was not sure with that reason.
‘Why she has to go? Did she really have important meetings or perhaps she is
avoiding me?
That question always lingering in her mind. Tiffany cant find the solution.
“Tiff, when do you think director Kim is going to be back?” Jessica asked.
Tiffany looked at the older girl. She sighed. Somehow Tiffany did not feel good
when Jessica was worrying about Taeyeon.
“I dont know. I am not sure. You should know that since youre close with her.”
“I tried to call her many times but she did not answer it. I am just worried. She is
not like this. Usually, she will answer my calls.” The older girl frowned.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 248/537
“Huh…I dont know Jess. Shes an adult now, dont worry about her. She knows
how to take care of herself.” Although Tiffany said that, inside she was deadly
worried about Taeyeon. Part of her feels guilty.
Guilty. For not stopping Taeyeon that night.
Memories of seeing the crying Taeyeon really…really break her heart.
“Hmm…hope so.” Jessica nodded.
“By the way hows your life as someones fiancée? You must be the happiest girl,
right?”
Jessica wants to be someone elses, she wants someone to love her.
‘I want to be happy with Taeyeon also
Jessica smiled at the thought of her happily with Taeyeon.
“As usual. We are good. I am happy.” Tiffany answered short.
Jessica eyed Tiffany and she noticed that Tiffany was moody.
“Hmm…how come I rarely see Yuri come here by the way?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 249/537
Tiffany sighed again. Why Jessica has a lot to ask her?
“Yuri is busy. Besides director Kim is not here so she cannot do anything without
the presence of director Kim.”
It is true that Yuri was busy nowadays. Tiffany rarely goes out for lunch with
Yuri. The two were just texting each other when they were free. Yuri also rarely
picks up Tiffany from work so the older girl would just use her car. Tiffany did not
mind though. She understands Yuri and did not want to burden her fiancée.
Besides, Tiffany needs time to sort things out, she needs to sort out her feelings.
“Make sense. No wonder I did not see her these past few days.”
Tiffany can only nod.
The two then proceed with their works.
Jessica went back to her table. She looked at Taeyeons office. She was imagining
Taeyeon was there working with her computer.
‘I miss her
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 250/537
……………….
Taeyeon woke up from her bed. It was 6:30am. She went for shower, preparing
herself, ready to come back to her office. Taeyeon was tired. The meetings that
were held for a week made her feel exhausted. Thanks to the meetings for making
her busy, Taeyeon at least can survive her days although her inside is already
ripped. For the first time also, Taeyeon was thankful to her father for giving her too
much works. She just cannot face anyone, especially Tiffany in the office when she
is not fully ready yet. Accepting the works was just an escape route for Taeyeonfrom facing Tiffany.
No, she is not a coward. She is just not ready to face the reality.
……….
Outside Kim Cooperation, people can hear the roaring sound of the motorcycle.
Eyes were planted to the figure who dared to park the motorcycle at the entrance of
the company. Some of the workers were suspicious about the new comer, they
were whispering with each other. Some even had to go out to see who really dare
to make a scene in the early morning. Jessica was one of the witnesses.
The engine of the motorcycle stopped from roaring. The person was aware of the
situation but choose to ignore it; did not care of others and let more to come,
crowding the place.

workers can only watched the scene in front of them as they were also curious of
the woman.
The woman had fun with so much attention that was given and decided to reveal
herself. She lowered her head and took her helmet slowly. People surrounding her
were trying to take a brief look at the woman. The helmet was already off. The
woman looked at everyone surrounding her.
“Its me.”
People who were in the scenes were totally shocked seeing the person in front of
them.
“Hi Jessica.”
“Director Kim?!”
………
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 253/537
“Wow! You look cool just now director Kim. I didnt expect that was you actually
though you look familiar.”
“I know.”
Taeyeon and Jessica were now at Taeyeons office room. Taeyeon threw the
leather jacket to the couch. Jessica was just following the older girl, becoming her
tail.
Taeyeon put her bag on the table. On her table, there were lots of files need to be
signed. Taeyeon frowned at the sight in front of her.
“Director Kim, how was the meetings? I hope it went well. Do you know what,
when you were gone for a week, the workers were looking for you. And that
includes me.” The younger girl stood across Taeyeon, smiling brightly seeing her
boss.
“Yeah.”
Taeyeon can only answer shortly. At first she feels energetic to be back but after
she saw Tiffany and the ring on her finger, Taeyeon suddenly lost. She lost energy,
she lost herself…again. Her mood went down. Her expression becoming cold.

“Director Kim, can you hear me? “ Jessica waved her hand in front of Taeyeon,
wanting her attention. The younger girl however failed to get Taeyeons attention
and so she walked to Taeyeon, worried about the older girl.
From her office, through the glass-wall Taeyeon can see Tiffany working on her
table. She was so focused. Earlier, Taeyeon and Tiffanys eyes met with each other
but only for a brief second. After that the two broke the eye contact as if nothing
was happening between them.
True, there was actually nothing between the two of them…if there were
something, then it only came from Taeyeon. To think about it again, it will justbring pains to Taeyeon.
“Director Kim?!” Jessica shook Taeyeons body which just make the older girl
surprised with her action.
“What?!” Taeyeon unknowingly raised her voice. Both of them were startled
especially Jessica. Her grip on Taeyeons shoulders starts to lose.
Jessica brought back her hands.
“I…I thought you did not hear me.” The younger girl replied softly.
“I heard you clearly okay. No need to do that next time. Youre startling me. And
you have so many questions.”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 255/537
Taeyeon on the other hand cannot hold her emotion at that time. Her emotions can
easily change these past few days. Taeyeon can be very sensitive so easily. She
will unconsciously hurt people surrounding her. And on that day, it happened to be
Jessica.
The younger girl felt hurt by Taeyeons words. Taeyeon never talk to her with that
tone and voice. Jessica suddenly feels afraid of Taeyeon. She feels so small.
“I-I am sorry, Director Kim. I will not do that again. I am sorry.” The younger girl
lowered her head. Her tears almost escaped from her eyes. She was just excited to
see Taeyeon and she did not expect Taeyeon to scold her.
Taeyeon finally realized that she had hurt the younger girl. She felt guilty. It was
her fault for not able to handle her emotion. Jessica is not at fault.
‘I am not supposed to raise my voice like that
Silence filled the room. Taeyeon can only look at the younger girl who had her
head lowered.
‘I have hurt her
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 256/537
Jessica decided to step out from the office room as her eyes started to watery. She
walked away slowly from Taeyeon. Taeyeon knows she just made a mistake. The
older girl caught Jessicas arm and stopping the younger girl in her track. Taeyeon
stood in front of Jessica. She could see tears coming from Jessica.
“Shhh…” Taeyeon placed both her hands on Jessicas face, wiping away the tears.
Jessica was still unable to look straight at Taeyeon. Taeyeon sighed again for her
mistakes.
“Shh…dont cry, Jessica. I am sorry. I did not mean to raise my voice
like that. I did not mean to hurt you. These past few days just made me exhausted.
Please, I am sorry. Stop crying. It is my fault. You can hit me. I-I am just tired.”
Jessica was sobbing in front of Taeyeon. Taeyeon felt pathetic. She did not know
what to do.
“Sica-yah…I-“
Jessica brought her body closed to Taeyeon and hugged the older girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 257/537
“I-I miss you Taeyeon-ah. Do you know that?” Jessica tightened the hug. Taeyeon
was left stunned in her place, surprised with Jessicas words.
“I havent seen you for a week. You did not answer my calls either. I am deadly
worried about you. Do you know how much worried I am about you? Do you
know that, Taeyeon-ah?”
“Shh…I am sorry okay, I am sorry.” Taeyeon hugged Jessica back, patting her
back.
Taeyeon felt bad for ignoring Jessicas calls. She just wanted to be alone at that
moment. She did not want anyone to disturb her when her mind and heart were in a
mess.
“I promise I will not hurt you anymore, Sica-yah. Stop crying. It hurt me seeingyoure crying because of me.” Taeyeon continued soothing the crying Jessica.
The two stayed at that position long enough…for someone to accidently watch the
whole scenes from the outside of Taeyeons office room.

The Past and Jessica
“So...the next three days, we are going to go to the factory with the model for the
photo shoot, okay?”
“Yes, Director Kim.”
Though the younger girl was replying Taeyeon but her eyes were fixed onto
Jessica who was oblivious with Yuris stare throughout the meeting.
“Okay then. I think thats it for today.” Taeyeon closed her file. She was ready to
get up, to walk out from the conference room.
‘To walk away from Tiffany
Tiffany had her head low, unable to look at Taeyeon the whole time. She just cant
and she didnt want to do so either.
The eldest among the four of them got up from her seat. She was about to leave the
room when someone called her.
“Err…Director Kim?” Taeyeon turned around to look at Yuri.
“Yes?” The blonde take a look at the person who was sitting beside Yuri for a brief
second. She was a bit hurt when Tiffany did not look at her. Her eyes then went
back to Yuri.
“What are you going to do after this?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 260/537
Taeyeon tilted her head. “Lunch. Why?”
Yuri smiled after hearing Taeyeon. She looked nervously at Jessica who was
confused with her.
‘This is my chance
“Good then. My fiancée and I are going to go out for lunch too. Since we have not
gone together, then why not we do it today, eating lunch together…the four of us?”
Yuri waited for Taeyeons reply. Of course she wants Taeyeon to agree with her
offer. Yuri wants to stay with Jessica as long as she can. In order to do so, she
needs to drag Taeyeon with her since Jessica mostly sticks with Taeyeon.
Taeyeon flinched at the word fiancée. However she did not show it off. She looked
at Tiffany and saw the surprised expression plastered on her face.
“Err…Yuri-ah, Director Kim have a lot to settle. She just came back. I think-“
Taeyeon sighed.
‘She does not even want me
“Miss Kwon, I-“
“Good idea! Id love to eat lunch together with Tiffany and Yuri. Taeyeon-ah,come on. It wont take a long time you know. Beside, youll do anything for me
just like what you promised me yesterday. Now I want us to eat together with
them. Okay?” Jessica pleaded.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 261/537
“Taeyeon please…” She added with her aegyo.
Yuri who was seeing how Jessica was acting cute with Taeyeon cant help but to
feel jealous.
Taeyeon shifted her eyes to Yuri, then to Tiffany. She did not know what to do.
Taeyeon was just afraid. She did not want to break in f ront of others when shes
seeing Tiffany being with someone else.
But when she thought about it again, Taeyeon knows that she needs to move on
and start a new life. So she concludes, accepting Yuris offer will not cause any
harms, right?
“Okay then. Lets eat together.” Taeyeon did not wait for others to respond. She
hurriedly left the room and went to her office.
“Yes! She agreed!” Jessica was celebrating alone. The other two were watching
them. One was smiling because she was happy. The other one was also smiling but
not because she was happy. It was because she was nervous to sit and eat together
with Taeyeon. By smiling, she can cover her real thoughts and feelings.
……………
Jessica, Tiffany and Yuri were waiting for Taeyeon outside the entrance of the
company. Soon Taeyeon appeared, approaching them, a black leather jacket was in
her arm.
“What are you going to do with that leather jacket? Dont tell me that youre…”
Jessica asked Taeyeon suspiciously. Yuri was obviously did not understand what
was Jessica meant.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 262/537
“Yes. I am going there riding my motorcycle.” Taeyeon replied coldly.
“So…where are we going?”
“We actually havent plan about that yet, Director Kim.”
“Just call me Taeyeon. We are not working, Yuri-shi”
“Ah…okay. Then in return you can call me Yuri, no need to use the honorific.”
Tiffany was hearing the conversation that was going on between Yuri and
Taeyeon. She can only silently listen to them but she knows she cannot utter any
sound especially when Taeyeon was around.
“Alright. Since you guys have no idea where to go, just follow me. Ill lead you the
way. I know this good restaurant. And Jessica, I think you should just go together
with Yuri. Same car, save everything.”
Jessica nodded in reply. She cannot talk back since she did not bring her car on that
day and Jessica definitely did not want to see cold Taeyeon at that moment.
On the other hand, Yuri was silently thanked Taeyeon for her brilliant idea. At
least, Jessica is with her for the moment. Yuri turned to her left and saw Tiffany
with unreadable expression on her face.
‘Ahh…I still have Tiffany with me
Yuri just realized that Tiffany was going with her too. For the first time, she forgot
about Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 263/537
All of them then proceed to their own separate ways; Taeyeon going to her
motorcycle and the rest followed Yuri to get the car in the parking area. Taeyeon
started the engine and roaring sound of the motorcycle can be heard. She put on
her helmet and ready to go. Taeyeon lead Yuri as she said. The latter can only
followed the blonde girl since she didnt know their destination.
Inside Yuris car, the atmosphere was kind of weird. Jessica sat at the back. Yuri
would constantly eye the girl with the set mirror. Tiffany on the other hand was
biting her lips throughout the ride. She was looking for Taeyeon who was riding
her motorcycle like crazy.
“Aint that kid too careless riding her motorcycle? She seems like a drunken
person though.” Jessica voiced out her thoughts.
“Aish that kid! She just wants to show off. I need to lecture her later.”
Both Yuri and Tiffany sighed...
…..
The girls settled down at a table of four. Taeyeon sat beside Jessica. Opposite her
were Tiffany and Yuri. Yuri was exactly in front of Jessica. The girls were amazed
with the beauty of the restaurant. The atmosphere was calm and at that time, only
few customers were present.
“Wow! How did you find this romantic restaurant, Taeyeon-shi?” Yuri asked.
“I dont know about that too. One time, I was so lonely and my body brought me
here. So yeah, I ended up hanging here. Oh…I also sing here. There, at that stage.”
Taeyeon pointed out.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 264/537
“You sing?” Jessica asked.
“Well…not really. I mean, I only sing when I wanted to do so.” Taeyeon replied
calmly.
Soon after that, a waiter came and took their order. Coincidently, Taeyeon and
Tiffany ordered the same menu.
‘Taeyeon has not change after all
“So Taeyeon-shi…” Yuri started the conversation.
“Youre a successful business woman so far. How come you can achieve so much
in your young age? Im always wondering about your life.”
Taeyeon looked at Yuri when the younger girl asked her that question. She of
course would steal glances at the woman in front of her.
Jessica was waiting for Taeyeon answer and so she nudged the blonde girl.
“Uhh…nothing much actually. Just…I think by luck?”
“Luck? Oh. Do you mean because youre Mr. Kims daughter?”
For the first time, Tiffany looked at Taeyeon, waiting for her answer. Honestly,
Tiffany does not know really much about Taeyeons family because the latter did
not really talk about it when they were together. Now that Yuri brought up that
question, Tiffany becomes curious.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 265/537
“When I think about it again, it is not luck.” Taeyeon replied.
Jessica raised her eyebrows, confused. Taeyeon saw that and smiled. She sighed
after that.
“Lets say that, Ive gone through unfortunate events before Ive achieve all these
things.” Taeyeons eyes wondered around the restaurant. She did not want to
remember back the past.
“Huh? I dont get it. I dont understand.”
“Yuri-shi, what I meant is, I was here, being a successful business woman just like
what others said, is because of something. Something that changed me... and I had
to accept it unwillingly.” Her last statement came out soft.
“What is that something that you need to accept unwillingly?”
Taeyeon looked at Yuri. She shifted her eyes to the girl beside her.
“I…I need to help my father with his works back then because he was sick at that
moment. And so I really work hard for my father. Days and nights…I really work
hard. Though I was not really willing to do it, but I know I had to. I am the only
daughter of Kim family. I need to help my family somehow. The company was
found by both my mother and my father. My mother was already gone, and I had
promise her to take care of the company…so when my father needs my help,
though I did not like him, yeah the rumor about me disliking my father is true by
the way, I cannot object my father. I just cannot and so I had to lend my hands.”
Taeyeon said all those without breaking eye contacts with Tiffany. It was like
Taeyeon wants Tiffany to know something.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 266/537
“But at the same time…I have to give up on something. The fact that I have to lose
on something really…really breaks my heart. And I, at the end, I had to give it up
and accept it unwillingly.”
Tiffany was listening all while. She surely didnt know about Taeyeons family.
Now she knew a bit about her family, Tiffany did not know how to react. That was
the past, she is living in a present time.
“Oh. So you actually had to give up on something in order to achieve these
things?” Yuri was getting curious.
“Yes.” Taeyeon replied.
“In other words… you choose your job other than everything, Taeyeon -shi?” Her
mouth for the first time opened. Tiffany finally spoke up. Her eyes were sharply
piercing at Taeyeons. Tiffany was demanding an answer.
Taeyeon on the other hand was taken aback with Tiffanys remark. She bit her lips.
Taeyeon was obviously hurt with Tiffanys words.
‘Did she really think I choose my job?
“At that moment, yes. I have to do it. I-“
“Including leaving your love ones behind?” Tiffany cut Taeyeon off.

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 268/537
Taeyeon felt the pains in her heart returned. She looked up.
“I, fortunately found my lover when I came home from overseas. I was informed
that she was taken already. And so I tried to get my love back. I knew I should not
do that, she was happy with someone else already. But every time I see my lover
with someone else…” Her breath got caught.
“My heart was throbbing wildly. It just breaks my heart…so much.” Taeyeon
looked at Tiffany when she said it.
“I however cannot blame anyone. It is my fault after all.” Her voice almost came as
whisper.
The girls who were listening to Taeyeons story were surprised. Yuri and Jessica
were totally shocked.
‘Taeyeon never told me about this. Is that why she did not return her feeling back to me when I said I like her?
“Taeyeon-shi, it must be hard for you. Bringing this up, it must be really difficult
for you. Lets…just stop it here. You might get hurt more.” Yuri felt guilty seeing
Taeyeon who were struggling telling her story.
Taeyeon shook her head.
“Its okay. I in fact, want to apologize to you for not being able to come to your
engagement day last week.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 269/537
Tiffany noticed Taeyeons eyes starts to watery.
“Last week, on your engagement day, it was the day that my lover got engaged too.
So I…was unable to come to yours. I am sorry for that.” Taeyeon breathed in
deeply and let it out. She was trying hard to keep calm at that moment.
“No…it is okay. Really. I understand you. I totally understand how you feel.” Yuri
shifted her eyes to Jessica at the last statement. “It hurts. I knew it, you must be in
a lot of pain.” Yuri did not want to recall her past. But her memories of her
supposed engaged with Jessica came back, hunting her mind.
Jessica who was aware of Yuris voice turned her head to the younger girl. She
was confused seeing hurt in Yuris eyes. Jessica then turned her head back to
Taeyeon. She was curious of something.
“Taeyeonnie…may I ask you? Who is your past lover, what is her name?” Her
voice was demanding.
Tiffany was now taken aback with Jessicas question. Her expression was
changing and Taeyeon noticed the sudden change in Tiffanys expression.
“Her name is…” Tiffany looked at Taeyeon instantly after hearing Taeyeons
voice. Their eyes met. Tiffany glared at Taeyeon. She was afraid of the outcomes if
Yuri knows the truth. Tiffany was panicked at that time. Her heart was racing. Her
mind was thinking the possibility if Taeyeon blurted out her name. Yuri might be
suspicious of their relationship. Yes, Tiffany was mean and greedy at that time.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 270/537
“My lover is…” Tiffany wanted to blame Taeyeon. She was getting hot at her seat,
afraid of Taeyeons answer. Her eyes fixed on Taeyeons. Tiffany was throwing a
warning look at Taeyeon.
“Miyoung.”
Tiffany breathed out.
……….
Taeyeon excused herself to the restroom. She washed her face immediately after
entering the restroom. Taeyeon felt cool once again. But her face was getting hot
soon after that as her tears ran down her face.
Taeyeon, once again, cried.
Taeyeon got startled when she saw Tiffany on the mirror. She looked back and
there, Tiffany was standing still, looking at her intensely.
“I have no idea what is your intention back there, Taeyeon. But I hope, you can
understand that we are no longer together. And I hope you can also realize that, at
that night after my engagement event, you promise me that you wont disturb me
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 271/537
anymore and so I believe you. I believe you that you will not make a scene in front
of Yuri, telling about the past anymore.”
How much Taeyeon was hurt after hearing that…only Taeyeon knows it.
Tiffany was ready to leave Taeyeon but stopped in her track when Taeyeon called
her. Her back was facing Taeyeon.
“Tiffany.” Her tear dropped, maybe for the last time.
“Dont worry. I will not disturb you as I promise. You dont have to worry
anymore. ” Taeyeon said that softly. She was trying hard to keep her sobs from
being heard.
The younger girl then moved forward, twisting the knob door, leaving Taeyeon
alone in the restroom.
………..
When Taeyeon and Tiffany were gone, the only one left were Yuri and Jessica.
Since the atmosphere was awkward, Yuri tried to initiate the conversation with
Jessica. This is also her opportunity to talk with Jessica.
“Taeyeon-shi…must feeling a lot of pain, right?” Yuri asked Jessica while eating
her lunch.
“Yeah. It seems so. I had no idea she had a lover. She never talks about it anyway.”
The girl replied weakly.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 272/537
“Do you have a lover before this?” Yuri looked at Jessica. Waiting for her answer.
Jessica scrunched her eyebrows, thinking hard.
“I dont think I have one. I dont know.” She replied nonchalantly.
Yuri felt sting in her heart. After all, she was her lover. Hearing Jessica said those
words, it seems like Jessica was denying her presence.
“What do you mean by you dont know?” Yuri found it weird with Jessicas
answer.
“Hmm…well, I cant remember.”
“Do you mean…you have so many that you cant even count?” Yuri was getting
suspicious.
Jessica smiled hearing that.
“No Yuri-ah. I have bad memory. A really bad memory. I keep on forgetting
something.” Jessica sighed.
“You…cant remember things?”
“Well…sort of. I cant remember things clearly. When I tried to remember things,
my head will get hurt so badly that I think Im going to explode. And so I have to
rest after that, taking my pills.”
Yuri was really getting suspicious of Jessicas statement. She was getting worried.
“Jessica. What happened to you, Sica-yah?” Yuri was searching for the older girls
eyes.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 273/537
“What happened to you till you cant remember things?” She added and finally met
Jessicas eyes.
Jessica stopped eating, looking at the younger girl.
“Things happened.”
“I was involved in an accident. I…lost myself.” Jessica said softly, looking at Yuri.
“Since then, I lost my memory.”
“……….”
“……….”
“Hey.” Tiffany came back.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 274/537
“Where is Taeyeonnie? I thought she went to the rest room also.” Jessica asked
Tiffany almost immediately after seeing the girl. She was worried about the older
girl. But Jessica was unaware of the other person, who was deadly worried and
shocked after hearing her confession.
Yuri had her mouth wide opened.
“Yuri?” Tiffany called Yuri. She shook her body and finally caught Yuris
attention.
“Whats wrong?” Tiffany noticed the dark expression that Yuri had.
Yuri looked at Tiffany. Her mouth still opened. She looked back at the girl in front
of her who was searching for something. Yuri was totally surprised by what
comings from Jessicas mouth.
‘She lost her memory? Jessica was involved in an accident? How come I did not
know about these? How come I only knew about these today? What? Why? How
come?
Her breath was gotten short. Yuri still had her eyes on Jessica. So her Jessica was
in fact involved in accident and thats the reason why Jessica cannot recognize
Yuri all this while. Is that so? Yuri did not want to believe it. She wanted to cry in
her seat. Yuri opened her mouth, she was about to call Jessica when…
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 275/537
“Ah…thats Taeyeonnie. Wait, what is she doing there?” Jessica pointed out at the
stage.
All eyes were turning to Taeyeon who already sat on a chair, a mic was in her
hand.
“Today, for the last time, I would like to sing a song for everyone. This song has
its own meaning for me. I could say that Im singing this song for myself.”
Taeyeon spoke through the mic.
“Today will be my last tears. I will not going to cry anymore after this…” From a
far, Taeyeon looked at Tiffany.
“One Last Cry...for all of you.”
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany. And then she closed her eyes.
My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
8/9/2019 Between the Two

I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry
I was here you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 277/537
I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on and on
I'm gonna dry my eyes
Right after I have my one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...
to my last cry

Celebration Party
Yuri sent Tiffany and Jessica back to the company after they had finished their
lunch. They were amazed with Taeyeons sweet voice and constantly compliment
the older girl. It was not the first time Tiffany heard Taeyeon sings but she admit
that she missed that sweet voice. Hearing the song that was delivered by Taeyeon,
Tiffany felt something inside. She did not know her feelings. When she heard the
lyrics, it was obviously directed to her. And it was bothering Tiffany after that.
Taeyeon after she sang the song wiped her visible tears away and Tiffany saw that.
Somehow, Tiffany felt guilty with her words back then in the restroom.
‘I made her cry again. Why do I feel threaten when she wanted to reveal my name
earlier? Is it because I am too afraid to be alone again?
Her thoughts were cut when Jessica spoke.
“What do you think of Taeyeon? I didnt know about her past lover. She didnt tell
me about it before. When I think about it again, Taeyeon is…I dont know. She
knows how to hide her feelings. I feel pity for her.”
Tiffany somehow was taken aback with Jessicas statements.
“Hmm...yeah. I did not know that Taeyeon had a lover before. I feel bad for her.Taeyeon is a very strong woman. I think her lover should not leave her because
Taeyeon is just doing her role as a daughter. Her lover should understand her
better. Not leaving her like that.” Yuri also voiced out her thoughts.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 279/537
Tiffanys expression became dark.
“Her past lover surely cannot appreciate people like Taeyeon. She is just a loser for
not noticing Taeyeons love.”
“Yeah…I agree with you Sic-Jessica.” Yuri nodded, agreeing with what Jessica
said.
Yuri who was still in shock knowing the truth about Jessica can only process the
information and accept the fact that her lover is losing her memory for the moment.
She was determined to know more about Jessica. But she knows it is not going to
be easy. She has fiancée already. Yuri was sad when knowing her situation. It is
complicated. Tiffany is her fiancée. But Jessica…Jessica is everything to her.
Sigh…
………….
Taeyeon arrived at the company first. She felt much better after she had cried hereyes out. Taeyeon did not want to think about it…
Taeyeon walked weakly, approaching her office. She noticed her worker, Boom,
was waiting outside her office, smiling shyly at her. Taeyeon was suspicious. She
looked around and saw that most of her workers had their eyes on Boom, seems
like hoping something. Taeyeon was aware of the situation. She stopped in front of
Boom.
“Hmm…whats the matter, Boom-shi?” Taeyeon asked.
“Err…Director Kim.” Boom was playing with his fingers.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 280/537
“Yes?”
“Well…actually, Jo Kwon had this idea-“
“Yah! It is not my idea alone! WE plan it okay. OUR idea.” Jo Kwon glared at
Boom. The latter can only smirked.
“Yeah…it is actually our idea. Heehe…”
“Okay. Just spill it already. I have works to do.” The blonde girl was feeling tired
already.
“Actually…we plan to have a party. I mean…a celebration party.” Boom looked at
Taeyeon. But Taeyeon remained expressionless.
“Wow! A celebration party. For what occasion? When?” Jessica interrupted, just
got back with Yuri and Tiffany. She stood beside Taeyeon. The blonde looked
back and noticed that Yuri was also there. She was wondering where was Tiffany.
“Yeah. It is actually to celebrate Tiffany and Yuris engagement since some of us
did not turn up at the event last week.” Boom said excitedly. “And thats including
you, Director Kim.”
All eyes were staring at Taeyeon. Taeyeon was feeling uncomfortable.
‘Do I have to attend it also…for Tiffanys engagement?
Taeyeon was hesitating. She did not know what to do and she was dumfounded.

between Yuri and Jessica about Taeyeons past lover, Tiffany realized something.
She was thinking hard along the ride.
‘Am I too mean towards Taeyeon all this while? Perhaps I was in a fault
Those kind of thoughts were hunting Tiffany and when she looked back, Taeyeon
really did not do anything wrong, she just want to do her role as a daughter.
‘Then…if thats the case, Taeyeon is still have feelings for me?
Tiffany looked at Taeyeon. The latters eyes were swollen. That just made Tiffany
guiltier.
“Great! The celebration is going to be tomorrows night at Diamond Club.”
………..
The next day.
It was already 6:30pm. Tonight Taeyeon and her workers are going to celebrate
Tiffany and Yuris engagement. Taeyeon felt her heart was heavy to attend the
party. She did not want to think about it and she had set in her mind that she would
attend the celebration just to relax her mind.

Knock knock.
The door opened and it revealed Jessica. Taeyeon raised her eyebrows. She
thought all her workers were already going to the club. Taeyeon asked Jessica to
come in. The younger girl smiled.
“I thought you were going to the club already.”
“Well…I dont want to leave you alone. Afraid that you are not going to turn up
later.” Jessica sat on the chair opposite Taeyeon.
“I wont break my promise, Sica-yah.” Taeyeon said weakly.
“I know. If thats the case, then lets go. They are probably waiting for us.”
“Wait. So you are going with me?”
“Of course. You are not good with direction. You need me to guide you, Taeyeon-
ah.”
“Huh…okay then. I dont want to argue with you. Just…lets me finish this one
first then we will go.” Taeyeon continued working on her computer.
“Sure.”
In the room, there were only the both of them, Taeyeon and Jessica. The younger
girl looked at Taeyeon, watching the older girl so focus on her work. Jessicaobserved Taeyeon. She was feeling pity every time she looked at Taeyeon. Jessica
remembered about Taeyeons story. Jessica was wondering how her past lover can
leave Taeyeon. The younger girl feels that it was not fair for someone who is really
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 284/537
kind and caring towards other people to be left and hurt like that. When Jessica
thinks about it, she cannot help it but to fell more for Taeyeon.
The younger girl therefore has set her mind to always be there for Taeyeon and
make her happy no matter what.
Jessica made up her mind to fill up the space of Taeyeons past lover.
“Okay. Im finished. Lets go.” Taeyeon got up and walked to the door.
“Jessica, you dont want to go?” Taeyeon looked back at Jessica who was still
sitting on the chair.
After hearing Taeyeon, Jessica got up and walked towards Taeyeon. The blonde
was about to open the door when she felt Jessica grabbed her hand. Taeyeon was
surprised with the contact. She turned her head and looked at Jessica. The latter
smiled at her.
Jessica held both of Taeyeons hands and looked Taeyeon in the eyes. She walked
more closely towards Taeyeon. The older girl was taken aback with Jessicas
action. She held her breath.
“J-Jessica…what are you doing r -right now?” Taeyeon was stuttering.
Jessica leaned closer, closing the gaps between them. Her heart beat faster when
she was just centimeters away from Taeyeons face.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 286/537
Taeyeon and Jessica came together one hour after that. The two also sat beside
each other.
Every time, Tiffany looked at Taeyeon, she sensed that the older girl was avoiding
her gaze. They ordered a drink and played truth and dare. It always ended up
Taeyeon losing and so she was forced to drink. Tiffany was worried of Taeyeon
since she knows Taeyeon is not much of a drinker.
Yuri on the other hand kept her eyes on Jessica. She volunteered herself to drink
on behalf of Jessica. Since Tiffany did not mind it, so Yuri did it for Jessica. Soon,
the workers were getting high. They were singing loudly. Boom and Jo Kwon weredancing together and earned a disgusting looks from others. Taeyeon offered to
pay the entire bill for that night.
“Ah…I want to dance also.” Yuri said loudly. She asked Tiffany to dance with her
but her fiancée declined the offer. Then out of nowhere, Jessica who seems a bit
drunk offered herself to dance with Yuri. Yuri looked at Tiffany and Tiffany only
nodded, giving Yuri permission to dance with her friend. Yuri gladly brought
Jessica on the dance floor and dance with her.
Yuri remembered in the past, Jessica and her love to dance together. Yuri did not
want to get away this chance and so she just wanted to make Jessica happy through
dancing and also at the same time, Yuri wanted Jessica to remember their past
time. The younger girl requested a song that she and Jessica used to dance in the
past. Yuri led Jessica how to dance and surprisingly Jessica knows the movement.
Yuri was wondering if Jessica could remember her at that time.
…..

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 287/537
On the other hand, in the room, there were Taeyeon and Tiffany and some of the
workers who were enjoy singing. Taeyeon sat opposite of Tiffany. The blonde
seems drunk. Tiffany was concerned with Taeyeon and so she can just watch
Taeyeon from afar. Boom asked Taeyeon to sing with her and the latter agreed to
it. Taeyeon got up from her seat, ready to sing. She stood in front, facing the
audience in that small room. The mood was changing when Taeyeon requested to
sing a sad song at that night.
Throughout the song, Taeyeon was looking at Tiffany only. She had her eyes on
Tiffany the whole time. Though Taeyeon was a bit drunk she was still able to
recognize her surroundings. Tiffany noticed it but she didnt look away and instead
watch Taeyeon. Tiffany looked at Taeyeon and she noticed something.
‘Is Taeyeon crying? Why I can see her tears…?
The blonde finished singing the song. She walked to her seat wobbly with the help
of other workers. Taeyeon laughed like an insane man while drinking. She keeps
on drinking and drinking. She wanted to get rid her feelings for Tiffany. Taeyeon
wanted to be freed. And so she kept on drinking until she was drunk. Taeyeon then
excused herself to the restroom. Others wanted to help the small girl since she was
drunk but Taeyeon refused. Her actions were followed by a pair of concerned eyes,
Tiffany.
An hour already passed. Taeyeon didnt come to the room. Tiffany was getting
worried knowing Taeyeon is not good with her directions and moreover after
knowing her condition. Tiffany then decided to check on Taeyeon.
……….
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 288/537
Yuri put her hand on Jessicas waist. Jessica was surprised for a second.
“You dont mind, right?” Yuri was searching Jessicas eyes.
“Uhh…no. I dont mind at all.” Jessica replied.
Jessica then put her hand behind Yuris neck. Yuri was glad with Jessicas action.
The two dance slowly, moving to the left, to the right, just looking at each other.
“Hmm…I think I know this song.” Jessica spoke.
“You know this song?”
“Yeah…Ive heard this before. It is so familiar. But I dont remember it.”
‘Of course you know this song, Sica-yah. This is our favorite song
“You will…remember it. Maybe not now, Sica-yah.” Yuri said softly. She missed
calling Jessica with that name and so she just slipped it away.
Jessicas heart skip a bit when she heard Yuri called her with that name. She
looked at Yuri who was smiling at her. Jessica looked at Yuris eyes.
That eyes. That smile.
She have seen that before also. It was too common for her. Jessica closed her eyes.
Images came to her mind, blurring her vision. Jessica shook her head. She opened
her eyes and she felt her world was spinning. Yuri noticed at Jessicas behavior
and she was aware of the situation. Yuri brought Jessica to the nearby chair. She
ordered water and asked Jessica to drink it.
“Are you okay, Sica?” Yuri was worried of Jessica.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 289/537
“I dont know. I think…I have headache. Arrgghh…my head. It hurts.” Jessica
massaged her head.
Yuri bit her lips. Worried.
“Wait here. Lets go out. Ill send you home instead.” Yuri did not want Jessicas
condition to become worse.
“No. I should be fine after this. Its okay Yuri-ah.” Jessica tried to convince Yuri
but failed when she was whining about how hurt her head was.
“No. You are not okay. Ill send you home. Dont worry, I will tell Tiffany.” Yuri
ran to the room and found that Tiffany was nowhere to be found. She asked the
workers to tell Tiffany that she needs to send Jessica home since the girl was
having headache. Yuri took Jessicas bag and ran back to Jessica. Since the girl
could not walk properly, Yuri helped Jessica. She placed her hand on Jessicas
waist, side-hugging Jessica, and Jessicas hand, she brought it around her neck.
The two then leaved the club.
….
Tiffany was searching for Taeyeon. She asked others where Taeyeon could be. She
was informed that Taeyeon was in the restroom all this while. Tiffany made her
way to the restroom. She finally found it. Tiffany opened the door and walked into
it.
Tiffany walked slowly and called Taeyeons name. Around the corner, Tiffany saw
a figure sat on her knees, hiding her face. Tiffany walked closely to the figure and
realized that the figure was indeed Taeyeon, resting her body against the wall.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 290/537
“Taeyeon?” Tiffany called out. Taeyeon did not response. Tiffany walked closely
to Taeyeon.
Tiffany noticed that Taeyeons body was shaking. Tiffany was getting worried.
“T-Taeyeon-ah…are you okay?” Tiffany stopped in front of Taeyeon.
The younger girl heard sobbing sound coming from the older girl.
“T-Taeyeon. Its me, Tiffany.”
Taeyeon stopped crying. She looked up at Tiffany. Tiffany realized the older girl
was crying.
For thousandths times, Tiffany felt bad seeing Taeyeons tears.
The older girl got up. She was having a hard time to get up and so Tiffany helped
Taeyeon by holding her hand. Taeyeon took back her hand immediately. Tiffany
felt hurt.
“You..hic…you, who are you?” Hic.
Taeyeon was obviously drunk.
“Its me Taeyeon-ah, Tiffany. Youre drunk.”
“I…I dont know..hic..you. My Tippani..hic..is not you.” Taeyeon pointed out at
Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 291/537
“Youre drunk. Lets go back.” Tiffany grabbed Taeyeons hand. Taeyeon was
asking to be freed.
“Yah! Y-youre hurting..hic..me. Let me go! Hic…My Tippani..hic..will not hurt
me. You said youre Tippani. Hic…Youre not my..hic…Tippani.”
Tiffany released Taeyeons hand. Taeyeon wiped her tears and then laughed.
“Haahaahaa…hic…My Tippani.”
Tiffany shook her head watching Taeyeon. She felt sad for Taeyeon. She was in
this state because of her.
“It is me, Taeyeon-ah. Its me, Tiffany. Come on. Let me lead you.”
Once again Tiffany grabbed on Taeyeons hands. The older girl however did not
like it.
“Let go! Let me go! Youre hic…hurting me! My Tippani will not hurt me! My
Tippani.. hic..will not hurt me..” Taeyeon was getting weak.
It was much easier for Tiffany to hold both of Taeyeons hand, restricting her
movements. Eventually, at the end, Tiffany was able to hold Taeyeon.
Taeyeon stopped from moving wildly. She stared at Tiffany. The latter was
confused with the older girls behavior.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 292/537
“Taeyeon?” Tiffany called out Taeyeon who had her eyes fixed on hers.
“Taeyeo-“
The blonde was losing her footstep and end up collapsing her body onto Tiffany.
Tiffany caught Taeyeon. The latter was surprised but she then hugged Taeyeon,
not wanting the both of them to fell down.
“Taeyeon-ah…”
“My Tippani…left me. My Tippani…hurt me. I miss my Tippani…I miss her so
bad.” Tears start to flow down from Taeyeons eyes.
“I...I try to forget her. But I cannot. I cannot…I love my Tippani so much.”
Tiffany who was hearing, feeling weak inside.
‘I hurt Taeyeon. I had hurt her so bad. I made her like this
Tiffany cried silently. Taeyeon was still in her arms. The older girl was murmuring
something and soon after that Taeyeon felt asleep.
Tiffany decided to accompany Taeyeon. She did not want anything bad happen to
Taeyeon. They were already out from the club. Taeyeon was still sleeping. Tiffany
had a hard time holding the drunken Taeyeon by her side. She sat on the bench that
was located few meters away from the club.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 293/537
Tiffany let Taeyeons head rest on her lap. She brushed Taeyeons hair away that
was hiding her face. Tears were still visible on Taeyeons face. Tiffany wiped it
away. She examined the face.
“Taeyeon-ah…you should stop getting hurt because of me. Stop crying because of
me. You need to move on.”
Tiffany felt her heart broke seeing Taeyeon in that state…again.
“Taeyeon-ah…I made a mistake.”
“I am sorry Taeyeon-ah.”

The Truth
Kwon Yuri cannot concentrate during the ride to Jessicas house because she was
worried of the older girl. Yuri kept on looking and checking on Jessica who had
fallen asleep as soon as the girl entered the car. The younger girl decided to stop at
a nearby shop to buy water for Jessica. Yuri came back immediately after she
bought the water.
Yuri was about to wake up Jessica but she stopped when she looked at the sleeping
girl. She leaned forward, observing the older girl. The younger girl brushed off
Jessicas hair aside revealing her face. Jessica was breathing softly.
Yuri brought her hand to Jessicas face, caressing it for the first time after a few
years. She admired the smooth skin. Yuri then remembered what Jessica told her
earlier. She was frowning realizing the complicated situation.
“Sica-yah…if only you knew…”
Yuri sighed deeply.
After sometime, Yuri decided to wake up Jessica.
“Jessica.” She shook the sleeping girls body.
“Jessica, wake up.” Still she didnt respond.

lean half of her upper body into the car. She was careful enough not to crush on
Jessicas body.
After 2 minutes of struggling with the seat belt, Yuri finally succeeded. She moved
a bit and turned her head to the left and her breath was instantly caught up.
Their noses touched and their lips…were just inches apart. Yuri was frozen in her
place. Her heart was thumping wildly. Yuri blinked her eyes.
She diverts her eyes on Jessicas lips once more.
‘Those lips…
Yuri gulped. Nervous.
‘Is it wrong to say that I miss those lips?
Unconsciously, Yuri leaned a bit. Her breathings were becoming short. She closed
her eyes.
Their lips were about to touch….
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 297/537
Yuri opened her eyes. She realized what she was about to do was wrong. Yuri
stood up almost immediately. She breathed out. Her heart was still beating wildly.
She reminds herself not to lose herself. Yuri calmed herself and after a while, she
lowered herself back to get Jessica. She leaned forward. Yuri put her hand at
Jessicas back and her other hand around Jessicas legs. Yuri then lifted up Jessica
and carried her in a bridal style.
Carrying Jessica like that just made Yuri remembered their past on how she used to
carry Jessica after their date. Yuri smiled at her memories but at the same time, shefelt sad. Yuri walked slowly to the door. Since both her hands were occupied, Yuri
could not ring the bell. She put down Jessica and put Jessicas hand around her
neck. Yuri supported Jessica by placing her hand on Jessicas waist. Her other
hand was reaching the bell. Yuri pressed on the bell button for several times. She
heard the other person inside the house was responding back and so Yuri stopped.
“Jessica unnie?”
Yuri heard a girls voice behind the door. She however did not respond back as she
was exhausted.
The door slowly opened. Yuri looked up.
A girl was standing rooted in her spot.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 298/537
Their eyes widen.
“Yuri unnie?!”
“Krystal…”
………
“That afternoon, I had a fight with Jessica unnie. She scolded me for not listening
to her and she asked me to stay at home. Unnie prevent me from going out. I was
frustrated and stayed at my room. Then I got hungry and went to the kitchen. I
overheard your conversation with my sister that you guys were going to take a
walk. So I made a planned to escape from Jessica unnie. When she went out, then I
immediately went out to see my friend. That night, I drink a lot because I was so
stress. I blamed Jessica unnie for always controlling my life. At the end, I got
drunk so badly. My friend called Jessica unnie to get me back because I did not
stop drinking. I heard my friend talking to my sister and I got mad.”
Krystal stopped explaining and looked up to see Yuri. They were in the living
room. Yuri forced her to tell everything to her about the incident. Krystal had no
way out and since she felt guilty for a long time, she decided to give in.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 299/537
“I was so angry at me friend. At that time I really did not want to see Jessica u nnie
because I knew she would scold me once I got home and she will not let me out
again. Then after some time, unnie came. She grabbed me by the collar and in front
of my friends, unnie scold me. I felt ashamed at that time though I was drunk.”
Krystal once again stopped and looked at Yuri nervously. Yuri can only raise her
eyebrow, asking silently for the girl to continue.
“Err…Jessica unnie then brought me back. She was having a hard time to make me
walk. On our way back home, unnies phone was ringing. It was from you. That
time, I really hate you, Yuri unnie. I think Jessica unnie had spent a lot of her timewith you than with me. I dont know why but I feel jealous. I need my sister, my
only family. And at that time also, both of you were going to get engage. I felt left
behind. I was sad when I think about it. When Jessica unnie took out her phone, I
immediately grabbed her phone. Unnie was surprised. She asked me to give her
phone back but I brutally refused. I was drunk at that time and I did not know my
action. I threw her phone away and it landed on the road. Unnie was so angry at
me.”
Krystal breathed deeply. Her tears started to appear.
“Then…then Jessica unnie ran to the road to get her phone back. After that,
everything happened so fast. I heard a horn sound, unnies screaming, and a
screeching noise. Jessica unnie…was hit by a car. Her body flew forward and it
landed harshly after that. I was witnessing all those events. After that I realize what
happened and I ran to Jessica unnie. Blood was everywhere. I screamed for help.”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 300/537
The younger girl wiped away her tears. She was sobbing so hard. After hearing the
story, Yuri was unable to hold up her tears and she burst up, crying out. Krystal
walked to Yuri.
“I-I am so sorry, Yuri unnie. I am sorry. It was my fault. It was my fault that J-
Jessica unnie lost her memory after that.” Krystal knelt down beside the crying
Yuri.
“I-I did not know what to do with J-Jessica unnie. I called my uncle who was a
doctor at that time and told him what happened. He was the only relative that I
know. He a-asked me to transfer J-Jessica unnie to the hospital where he works at.We-we went to oversea for unnie treatment because she was injured so badly. We
had to go.”
“Then why…why you did not tell me?! Jessica is my fiancée. She is…supposed to
be my fiancée.” Yuri said weakly at the last statement. Her voice cracked after
crying her eyes out.
“I-I was so scared at that time. I was so scared and I did not know what to do. I- I
am sorry, Yuri unnie. I-I am really sorry. It was my fault.” The younger hid her
face with both her hands. She failed to meet Yuris eyes.
The two shared tears at that night. One was crying remembering her fault and the
other one...
8/9/2019 Between the Two

was crying after knowing the truth and knowing how her lover had suffered a lot.

Together For A Moment
Jessica was unable to come to work. Tiffany had to handle Jessica's work on that
day. She came extra early because Tiffany was unable to sleep because she kept
remembering Taeyeon.
Tiffany kept thinking of Taeyeon's words. Last night incident, seeing how brokenTaeyeon was caused Tiffany to feel something inside. She know that the older girl
was hurt because of her. Tiffany realized that it was actually her that caused
Taeyeon to change and suffer all these while.
Realizing how deep Taeyeon's love was towards her, Tiffany wanted to cry. She
kept asking herself of what she had done to Taeyeon. Her tears were flowing
because she knew, she was guilty. Tiffany knows her mistake and she started to
regret it.
The younger girl wiped away her tears, not wanting others to see her in that state.
She closed her eyes, tring to find peace in her mind.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 303/537
Tiffany then opened her eyes and looked at the files piling up on her table. She
sighed knowing that she got a lot of work to do.
Tiffany read and checked the file. After finished doing so, she took another files
and start checking it. She realized that some of the documents need Taeyeon's
signature. The younger girl sighed knowing that she need to meet Taeyeon later. It
was not like Tiffany wanted to avoid Taeyeon, it is just that she was afraid that she
might broke in front of Taeyeon. Tiffany did not want that to happen.
After 2 hours working on the files, Tiffany decided to relax her mind for a bit.
She closed her eyes and put both of her hands, covering her face. Tiffany breathed
in deeply.
"Fany-ah, I love you."
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 304/537
"I love you."
Tiffany opened her eyes immediately. She looked at her surrounding and noticed
that no one was actually nearby her. She realized that Taeyeon's confession was
hunting her and Tiffany kept remembering how Taeyeon was confessing to her.
Tiffany grabbed the bottle of water and drink it. She put it back when she had
enough. Tiffany noticed the files that need Taeyeon's approval. She looked at
Taeyeon's office room and the curtains were down, preventing her to see Taeyeon.
The younger girl got up slowly, fixing her hair and her shirt. She took the files and
walked slowly to the direction of Taeyeon's office room.
Knock. Knock.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 305/537
"...."
Knock knock.
Still no response.
She knocked several times after that but still, Taeyeon did not respond. Tiffany
was hesitating to go back to her table knowing how important the documents were.
She then decided to come into Taeyeon's office even without Taeyeon's
permission.
Tiffany opened the door slowly. She walked inside and noticed that Taeyeon was
not there. The older girl would usually working on her table. Tiffany was confused
where Taeyeon had gone. She was sure that she did not see her boss went out
earlier.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 306/537
Feeling a bit disappointed, Tiffany decided to leave the files on Taeyeon's table.
She started to make her way back to her table but then her eyes caught on
something.
There was a figure laying on the couch situated on the left corner of the room. The
younger girl walked to the couch to confirm her suspicious.
Tiffany gasped seeing the figure was actually Taeyeon. The older girl was
sleeping, curling her body like a ball.
Tiffany smiled at the sight in front of her. She approached Taeyeon and knelt
down. Tiffany was observing the sleeping Taeyeon.
'She is cute. Its been a long time I haven't see her sleeping like this'
Past memories started to flood her mind. She remembered how she would put a
blanket for Taeyeon when the older girl was sleeping. Tiffany smiled at the
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 307/537
memories. Somehow, deep inside, she missed the past time that she had shared
with Taeyeon.
The air blowing from air-conditional caused some of Taeyeon's hair to cover up
her face. Tiffany noticed that and she brought her hand to brush off the strands of
hair. Her hands brushed slightly against Taeyeon's face. She could feel the smooth,
baby-faced Taeyeon.
'I miss this moment'
Tiffany continued to caress Taeyeon's face, feeling Taeyeon's smooth skin against
her hand. She stopped when Taeyeon shifted a bit.
Tiffany stayed there and stared at the older girl. She could smelt Taeyeon's scent.
Tiffany encouraged herself to touch Taeyeon once more. She placed her hand on
Taeyeon's forehead and start to stroke it gently. Her hand then went to Taeyeon's
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 308/537
nose and then to Taeyeon's cheek. Then, her hand went lowered and meet
Taeyeon's plump lips. Tiffany stopped and looked at Taeyeon. The older girl was
still sleeping.
Her heart started to race again seeing Taeyeon. Her body felt weak. She started to
tremble.
That familiar feeling that she had when she is Taeyeon's lover came back.
That familiar feeling.
'Love'
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 309/537
'Is this...love?'
Tiffany leaned more and now, their faces were inches away. Her eyes stared at
Taeyeon's lovely eyes, her nose, and it falls to Taeyeon's lips. Her eyes planted at
Taeyeon's eyes for a while.
Feeling nervous inside, Tiffany felt Taeyeon's lips brushing against her thumb. She
brushed it gently and lovingly.
"Taeyeon-ah...."
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 310/537
Taeyeon heard someone just called her name. She was half-sleeping. The older girl
then suddenly got up.
Tiffany's eyes went wide. She felt something soft pressed on her cheek. Her heart
stopped beating for a moment.
'Taeyeon...is kissing me'
The girls were frozen in place.
Tiffany got up immediately upon registering of what had just happened. She felt
hot all of sudden and she knew that she was blushing at that time.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 312/537
Seeing no response from Tiffany, Taeyeon felt a bit embarrassed.
"Err...why are you here? Anything important?" The older girl was confused seeing
how red Tiffany was in front of her. She looked outside and thought that the
weather was hot so no wonder, Tiffany might feeling hot at that moment.
"Ahh...I need your sign." Tiffany said without further thinking, confusing the older
girl. Noticing Taeyeon's expression, Tiffany opened her mouth once again.
"I mean for the files...there." She pointed out at the table. "The documents need
your approval. So...it is an urgent matter."
Taeyeon looked over the files and then returned her gaze to Tiffany.
"Okay. Anything else, Tiffany?"
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 313/537
Her heart skipped a beat when Taeyeon called her name like that. Taeyeon would
call her as Stephanie when they were still at work.
Taeyeon started to feel worried towards the younger girl due to the late responding.
She stepped forward to check on Tiffany but the latter stepped backward. Taeyeon
stopped and felt hurt inside.
'I shouldn't be doing that if I knew thats going to be her reaction'
Taeyeon sighed and Tiffany heard it. She knew Taeyeon was hurt. She didn't know
why she did that, perhaps Tiffany was afraid that she could no longer hold herself
anymore.
Tiffany then excused herself and went back to her table.

She let out her breath that she held back since the moment Taeyeon...kissed her.
Tiffany brought her hand to the spot where Taeyeon had kissed her earlier. Weird,
Tiffany didn't feel like to blame Taeyeon, instead, she started to like it when she
remembered it again.
......
Taeyeon had finished checking and signing all the documents. She skipped her
lunch that day probably because Jessica was not there to remind her lunch. She
didn't feel hungry either.
It was already 1pm. Taeyeon still felt headache. She didn't remember what
happened after she went to the toilet last night at the club. When she woke up, she
was already in her bedroom. Taeyeon was wondering who sent her to her house.
After thinking hard, Taeyeon thought that probably Manager Park had helped her
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 315/537
last night knowing that the older man will always help her in every situation that
she got in.
Taeyeon closed her eyes, resting for a while. She remembered that she had to
attend a meeting soon at Lee's Company. Usually, when Taeyeon had a meeting
outside, Jessica would accompany her. Now that her personal assistant was sick,
Taeyeon need to search for someone to accompany her.
Taeyeon looked at the files that she had checked. She decided to call Tiffany to get
the files back.
There was a knock on the door. Taeyeon asked Tiffany to come in.
"Yes, Director Kim?" Tiffany nervously asked.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 316/537
"I have done with the files, you can take it now." Taeyeon pushed the files slightly.
Tiffany picked up the files one by one. Her action was witnessed by a pair of eyes
in front of her. Feeling that Taeyeon was staring at her, Tiffany looked up and she
met the onyx eyes.
Taeyeon looked away. She bit her lips knowing that Tiffany had caught her staring.
Tiffany was in her way back to her table when suddenly she heard Taeyeon was
calling her name. She stopped in her track and saw Taeyeon was walking towards
her.
"Yes?" Tiffany raised her eyebrows.
Taeyeon stopped. She gulped nervously.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 317/537
"Err...I have a meeting this afternoon. Since Jessica was absence today, so can you,
if possible, replace her just for today, Tiffanyyyyy...-shi?" Taeyeon was hoping
that her secretary will agree to her request.
Knowing that was part of her job and also she did not want to disobey her boss,
Tiffany just agreed.
"Sure. I can." She replied simply.
Taeyeon smiled inside hearing Tiffany's answer.
......
Taeyeon and Tiffany used Taeyeon's car to go to Lee's Company. The atmosphere
was awkward as both girls did not know what to say to each other. Taeyeon
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 318/537
wanted to initiate the talk but then she was afraid that Tiffany would not interested
so at the end, Taeyeon just remained silence. The only sound that they heard was
the music playing, entertaining their own minds.
After a ride of 30 minutes, the girls were finally arrived. Tiffany walked in front
and Taeyeon just followed her. They stopped in front of the elevator.
Tiffany went in first then followed by Taeyeon behind. Soon, more people were
coming into the elevator, pushing both girls to the back. As a result, Tiffany was
standing at the corner of the elevator. In front of her was Taeyeon. Taeyeon felt a
little bit of discomfort as the person in front of her kept pushing her. Taeyeonwanted to push back but as a result, she would get pushed in more.
Aware of the person at the back was Tiffany, Taeyeon made an effort to give a
space for her love. But due to the constant pushing, Taeyeon then had no choice
but to turned back and facing Tiffany, not wanting to crush on that girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 319/537
Tiffany was surprised with Taeyeon's action. Taeyeon put her hand on the wall of
the elevator, trapping Tiffany and also to support herself. Their faces were just
centimetre away from each other.
Taeyeon was unable to look straight at Tiffany. She started to blush knowing their
position.
Tiffany was touched with Taeyeon's action. Taeyeon was very protective towards
herself. Her eyes were staring at the older girl who were unable to raise her head.
They could feel each others' breathing. Both hearts beat faster than usual.
Taeyeon feeling Tiffany was staring at her all these while. After a moment of
hesitating, she finally looked up only to meet with those lovely eyes.
Their eyes met, for the longest time, looking at each other lovely.
Taeyeon then unconsciously shift her eyes to Tiffany's lips. She bit her lips and
Tiffany noticed that.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 320/537
Both hearts skipped a beat.
"Fany-ah..."
Taeyeon was about to spoke up when out of sudden, someone was pushing her
more. Taeyeon lost her balance and her body then pressed against Tiffany's body.
Not only that, Taeyeon felt something soft against her lips. She opened her eyes
slowly.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 321/537
Tiffany's eyes went wide due to the sudden contact. She felt Taeyeon's warm body
against her own. She wanted to yelp but somehow, her mouth was being shut by
something warm and soft.
Then...Tiffany just realized that....
Taeyeon had her lips pressed softly at the corner of Tiffany's lips.
.....
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 322/537
Curious Of Each Other
It was such a warm and pleasant feeling. Her soft and warm lips pressed against
mine so lightly. I felt butterflies in my stomach. Even though she kissed accidently
at the corner of my lips, but it felt so good. It was so innocent and pure.
Unexpectedly, I like it when Taeyeon kissed me. I know it was an accident and I
did not even push her. Maybe I was shocked and I had no idea what to do. But
when her lips pressed against my lips, there was this feeling; it seems there was an
electric shock running down my body that made my body went paralyzed instantly
against her soft lips. I was frozen in my place, stunned and did not know what to
do.
‘I miss her kisses
We stayed at the position where Taeyeons body fully pressed against mine and her
both her arms were trapping me. We were frozen in our place, eyes widen, heart
beating fast. Nothing really matters at that moment.
Ding!
The elevator opened and people were starting to going out from it.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 323/537
Taeyeon who was finally came back to her senses after learning the situation
pushed her body away from further trapping Tiffany. She blinked her eyes and
shook her head. It seems unreal to her. The scenes earlier were playing slowly in
her mind where someone suddenly pushed her forward to Tiffany, causing her to
accidently kissed the younger girl at the corner of her lips. Taeyeon recalled the
taste that just lingered on her lips, sweet and warm. So innocent. Taeyeon then
immediately opened her eyes and saw Tiffany with her red cheek, greeting the
older girl.
Tiffany had her eyes planted on the floor, unable to see Taeyeon directly. After a
moment of silence, the two encouraged themselves to look up and unknowingly,
their eyes meet and again, the two can feel the butterflies within their stomach.
Due to embarrassment and unable to stare at each other furthermore, Taeyeon and
Tiffany looked away and shifted uncomfortably.
‘Oh no. What shall I do? Tiffany must blame me and she will hate me after this
Her mind was in a race. Taeyeon was panicked.
“Uhh…” Taeyeon started to speak up.
“I am sorry. I did not mean to kiss..uhh…I mean I d-did not plan or mean to do it.
I-I…I just want to protect you from being crushed and suddenly someone just
pushed me and I-I lost my balance and end up…”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 324/537
It was hard for Taeyeon to arrange her words to explain her situation to Tiffany.
Taeyeon was afraid that Tiffany would get angry at her and the situation would get
worse. No, Taeyeon did not want that.
Tiffany looked up at the older girl who was unable to finish her words. Taeyeon
was biting her lips and her eyes clearly showed that she was worried. Tiffany
wanted to laugh at the sight in front of her. She rarely saw the panicked Taeyeon
and seeing Taeyeon in that state just made Tiffany wanted to chuckle.
‘She is cute when she is panic
The older girl was aware that Tiffany was now looking at her. She was searching
for Tiffanys eyes and said, “…kissing you”, to end up her explanation.
Taeyeon saw Tiffany was inhaling so deeply. She was sure that soon the younger
girl in front of her would slap her. Taeyeon closed her eyes at the thought,
expecting a slap from Tiffany.
“Its okay. I-I understand.”
Taeyeon opened her eyes, surprised hearing Tiffanys calm voice.
“And…thank you for protecting me.” She smiled.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 325/537
It seems that her mind was still processing what Tiffany had just said and because
of her slow mind, Taeyeon stared at Tiffany like a dumb person, making the
situation getting more awkward.
‘Did she just thank me? Tiffany…was thanking me?
Taeyeon then can only nod and smiled back at Tiffany.
For a moment there, Taeyeon can feel something really good deep inside her heart.
It seems that she had achieved a good deal in her life. The feeling is just to great
for words. It seems that she could just let go all of her burden and fly freely in the
sky. Taeyeon felt joy, she is happy, she is just simply happy to be with Tiffany at
the moment.
Realizing that they were the only ones that left in the elevator, Taeyeon carefully
asked Tiffany to step out from it. Tiffany nodded and went out first. Behind her
was Taeyeon who was still in the daze. They were walking awkwardly together
searching for the conference room where the meeting would be held.
The coldness of the room made Taeyeon finally felt a bit comfortable. They were
already settled in the conference room alongside with other important people.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 326/537
Tiffany sat beside Taeyeon, preparing herself for the meeting. She and Taeyeon
did not talk after the incident in the elevator. Her mind kept replaying the incident
and every time she remembered about it, Tiffany could feel butterflies in her
stomach.
'No. I should not be like this. It was just an accident'
Tiffany shook her head numerous times. Taeyeon witnessed her action and saw
Tiffany covered her face. The older girl was worried. She leaned forward to
Tiffany and bent slightly to see the younger girl's face. Tiffany was still covering
her face. The curious girl burrowed her eyebrows.
Tiffany felt something beside her. She could feel someone was like breathing
beside her. The younger girl then slowly brought her hands down, uncovering her
face only to meet with a pair of brown and onyx eyes in front of her. She gasped
and almost yelped seeing how suddenly Taeyeon was so close beside her.
"Are you okay? Do you feel sick, Tiffany?" Taeyeon asked her almost immediately
after she met with that brown-eyed girl.
"I saw you are shaking your head just now.
"I-I am fine. Yeah. I was just..." Tiffany saw Taeyeon was raising her eyebrows,
her onyx eyes went big looking at her, expecting her words. Tiffany thought the

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 328/537
Tiffany unconsciously smiled seeing the older girl. She felt peace and comfort with
Taeyeon at that moment. She likes seeing Taeyeon in that state. The Taeyeon that
she knows in the office is serious, rarely smiling, hardworking and sometimes
fragile.
Taeyeon felt someone was staring at her. She quickly turned her head to the left
and saw Tiffany was staring at her with a smile plastered on her face. Taeyeon
looked at Tiffany and noticed that the smile that was initially there disappeared
when she met Tiffany's eyes. The latter cleared her throat and looked away.
Taeyeon was left speechless.
The meeting ended quite late since it was postponed in about an hour. Taeyeon and
Tiffany walked out from the room. The older girl rubbed her eyes and yawn. Her
body felt tired. Her mind has been working endlessly and thus made her body felt
weak. Moreover, Taeyeon haven't eaten anything on that day, she only ate her
breakfast and she skipped her lunch. Her stomach was growling in hunger.
Tiffany looked at Taeyeon when she surely heard a sound coming from the girl
beside her. The older girl looked at Tiffany in embarrassment.
"Sorry. I did not eat my lunch and so I feel kind of hungry." Taeyeon smiled
apologetically when she realized that Tiffany was startled because of her. The
younger girl nodded her head.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 329/537
Taeyeon asked Tiffany to wait for her outside the building, as she needs to go to
the restroom for a while. She walked faster to the restroom as her stomach was
growling. In the restroom, Taeyeon put her arms around her stomach, hoping that
her stomach would listen to her to stop from growling. She clenched her teeth tight
when the pain and the discomfort in her stomach started to attack her. Taeyeon
knows that she was suffering from the pain because she skipped her meal earlier
and now, she needs to face the consequences. Her face was turning pale and
Taeyeon was in minutes, covered in sweat.
Tiffany stood near the entrance, waiting for Taeyeon. She checked her phone and
curious to why her fiancé, Yuri did not call or text her on that day. Tiffany then can
only assume Yuri was busy and had no time to do so. She put her phone back to
her pocket, still waiting for Taeyeon
"Hi, beautiful girl." Out of nowhere a man was approaching Tiffany, throwing his
sweet smile to her.
"What are you doing here alone? It is not good for a beautiful girl like you standing
here alone, you know that?" Tiffany stared at the man that was coming closer to
her. She felt disgusted at the man just by looking at his messy hair and cloths.
Tiffany didn't reply. She ignored the man and looked away hoping that the man
would go away if she ignored him like that. Unfortunately, the man was so
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 330/537
stubborn. He bravely went closer beside Tiffany making the younger girl to face
the man. The man then brought his hand to Tiffanys hair played with it.
"Yah! What are you doing?! Go away from me." Tiffany yelled.
The man smirked and continued playing with her hair. Tiffany was feeling
insecure; all she wanted on that time was to have Taeyeon to come fast and help
her.
The man stopped playing with Tiffany's hair and unexpectedly grabbed Tiffany's
hand instead, making Tiffany shocked and gasped.
"Get your hand off my woman!”
Tiffany turned her head and saw Taeyeon was standing behind the man. She felt
relieved seeing the older girl.
Taeyeon then went quickly beside Tiffany, releasing Tiffany's hand from that man.
The older girl was now holding Tiffanys hand, tight and secure.
Taeyeon stood in front of the man, protecting her love behind. She was boiling
inside and wanted to punch the man instantly when she saw the man grabbed
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 331/537
Tiffany's hand but she did not do so and controlled herself as she was still fighting
with the pain in her stomach.
"Hey Shorty, I get her first and so she is mine." The man said.
Taeyeon stared at the man fiercely and was about to punch that man when he said
to her like that. The younger girl was fast enough to know what Taeyeon wanted to
do and so Tiffany was holding her hand tightly, preventing Taeyeon to start the
fight. Taeyeon looked behind and saw Tiffany was shaking her head. Taeyeon
looked back at that man and saw a smirk on his face. She greeted her teeth.
Tiffany forgot that Taeyeon has her short legs.
Taeyeon smirked, showing her white and perfect teeth. Then she launched her
kicks, hard on the man precious asset. Yes, kicks. Not once, but twice, making the
man groaned in pain. The man was bending, feeling the pain due to Taeyeon's
strong and powerful kicks on the lower part of his body.
Tiffany was surprised. She never sees that side of fierce Taeyeon. The younger girl
covered her mouth while Taeyeon chuckled at the sight of the man.

Only For A While
"Messing with my woman again then I'll surely put you in a jail."
‘Did I hear it right or was it just my imagination?
Tiffany stared at Taeyeon who was obviously still mad at the man that disturbed
her earlier. The older girl grabbed Tiffanys wrist tightly and walked away from
the scene.
Tiffany did not utter any words and followed Taeyeon behind. Her hand was
securely held by Taeyeons. Tiffany did not know why but she likes it when
Taeyeon claimed herself as her woman. It sounds nice to her ears and surely, she
would love to hear it again from the older girl. Although she felt hurt from
Taeyeons tight hold, Tiffany cannot help it but smiled along the way recalling the
incident earlier.
Tiffany just loves the protective Taeyeon.
The two slowed down when they were nearing Taeyeons car. The atmosphere was
awkward when Taeyeon just realized that she was actually holding Tiffanys hand.
She looked at where her hand was and gasped. Taeyeon looked up to see Tiffany
and found that the younger girl was staring at her. Tiffany was raising her
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 334/537
eyebrows when she met Taeyeons eyes and the older girl immediately released
Tiffanys hand.
“Uhh…sorry. I-I did not realize it, Tiffany.” Taeyeon looked at the ground. “But
did he hurt you earlier? Did he touch you anywhere perhaps?” Taeyeon asked
worriedly.
Tiffany was wondering how Taeyeon can still care about her when they were not
even together.
“No. He did not do anything to me. Dont worry. Im fine.” She smiled.
Taeyeon was frozen for a while after witnessing Tiffany flashed her eye smiles to
herself. She was blinking for several times and made her looked dumb in front of
the girl that she loves.
For a moment there, Taeyeon forgot the pain in her stomach.
The girls then went to Taeyeons car. Taeyeon unconsciously opened the door for
Tiffany. Again, Tiffany was moved by Taeyeons kindness and gentleness.
The older girl walked to the opposite side of the car and opened the door. She put
the key, about to start the engine when she suddenly felt the pain in her stomach
was coming back, hunting her. Taeyeon stopped her doing and put her hand on her
stomach, hoping to ease the pain.
“Arrghh.” She growled not so loud but still can be heard by Tiffany.
Taeyeon closed her eyes. She blamed herself for not taking her lunch on that day.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 335/537
“Taeyeon, are you okay?” Tiffany questioned when she saw Taeyeon was slightly
bending down in her seat.
Knowing a pair of eyes was watching her, Taeyeon can only nodded, convincing
Tiffany that she was fine. Not wanting to waste any time, Taeyeon started the
engine and soon drifted off although the pain in her stomach was still bothering
her.
Along the ride, Tiffany had her eyes on Taeyeon, watching the older girl. She was
wondering whats wrong with Taeyeon. Tiffany noticed that Taeyeon was
groaning in pain and her face was pale.
“Are you sure youre good, Taeyeon? Because youre not looking fine right now.”
‘And you make me worry, Taeyeon-ah
She looked at Taeyeon who was already sweating.
“I…huh…I- hold on.” Taeyeon decided to stop her car for a while when the pain
was too much for her.
“Hey, whats wrong?” Tiffany worriedly asked, putting her hand on Taeyeons
shoulder. Taeyeon felt Tiffanys touch and she was actually surprised with the
younger girls action but she cannot do anything since she was having a fight with
her growling stomach.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 336/537
“Taeyeon?” Tiffany called once more.
Taeyeon could not answer back.
Tiffany then took off her seatbelt and scooted near the older woman who had her
head down and her hand on her stomach. Tiffany observed Taeyeons face and
pain was clearly shown on her face. Beads of sweat were already forming on
Taeyeons forehead.
‘Did Taeyeon have stomachache?
Tiffany did not know what else to do when Taeyeon was not responding to her
questions. She can only stare at the older girl and think of any possible reasons to
why Taeyeon was behaving that way.
“Uhh…do you, by any chance, skip you lunch today?” Tiffany asked when she
remembered that she had seen Taeyeon in these situation long time ago when theywere still together. To her question, Taeyeon turned her head seeing Tiffany and
slowly nodded her head.
“Gastritis?” Tiffany asked again.
Taeyeon nodded. Tiffany sighed. She shook her head.
“Err..do you have s-something to e-eat?” Taeyeon painfully asked. Her hand was
clutching on her stomach.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 337/537
Tiffany frowned hearing Taeyeons question. She rummaged through her bag when
she remembered she had some cookies that she had brought from her home.
“I only have some cookies if you dont mind.” She offered the cookies to Taeyeon.
Taeyeon smiled, feeling relieved for a second. At least she has something to eat.
She was about to take the cookies from Tiffany when the younger girl retreat back
her hand, leaving Taeyeon frowning in her seat. The older girl looked at Tiffany.
The latter was tearing off the cookie wrapper and took out one of the cookie. She
turned to face Taeyeon and put the cookie in front of Taeyeons mouth.
“Ahhhh~”
Taeyeon mindlessly opened her mouth and bite on the cookie. Her lip was slightly
touching Tiffanys fingers that were holding the cookie. Upon the contact, Taeyeon
looked up and met with Tiffanys eyes. They were staring at each other for a while,
too immersed in each others eyes.
Tiffany especially felt her heart sunk and it beats fast looking at Taeyeon. Her
stomach felt like they were flipped feeling Taeyeons cold lip on her fingers.
Taeyeon broke the eye contact and looked away after she took the cookie away
from Tiffany. The two were blushing and unable to see each other. Taeyeon
silently munched the cookies while Tiffany was silently watching her all the time.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 338/537
After Taeyeon had finished eating the cookies, she resumed riding her car, sending
Tiffany back to her home, though the pain was still there. The journey to Tif fanys
house was quiet as both of them were too caught up in their own thoughts.
After about 20 minutes, they finally arrived at Tiffanys house. The younger girl
looked at the girl beside her. She frowned seeing Taeyeon was still having her
hand around her stomach. Her worried expression was shown for Taeyeon who
suddenly turned her head to the younger girl.
“Err…” Tiffany was caught staring at Taeyeon.
“T-thank you for sending me h-home.” She spoke up.
Taeyeon smiled painfully at her.
“Youre welcome. Thank you also for being my company today. And also for the
cookies.” Taeyeon managed to say.
Tiffany nodded. She opened the door and went out from the car. Her feet were
heavy to leave Taeyeon especially when knowing the older girl was not feeling
well at that moment. Tiffany stopped in front of the gate house. She turned her
body and looked at Taeyeon. The latter had her head resting against the steering,
groaning in pain. Tiffany slowly walked back to Taeyeons car. She knocked on
the window attracting Taeyeons attention. Taeyeon shifted her head to see Tiffany
and opened the window.

Taeyeon observed the house. Still the same, she thought. Pink is still everywhere.
Taeyeon chuckled remembering Tiffanys obsession. She looked around at the
living room. She can still remember the familiar scent of the room. Taeyeon
missed it. She missed being at Tiffanys house. Suddenly, old memories that she
shared with Tiffany flooding her mind. She smiled reminiscing the memories.
“What do you want to eat?” Tiffany brought her attention back.
“Uhh…anything.” Taeyeon mindlessly said. She soon saw the younger girl was
frowning.
“Uhhh. I mean, anything that you can prepare will do. I dont mind. I just need
something to fill my empty stomach.” She explained.
“Okay then. I will be at the kitchen if you need something.” Said the younger girl.
Soon she left Taeyeon who was now sitting on the couch.
Both of her hands were on her stomach, rubbing it. Taeyeon bent her body slightly
just to ease the pain. However her method was futile as the pain was still there. She
then decided to lie down on the couch, trying to at least have a peace in her mind.
Taeyeon breathed in deeply. She still could not believe it that Tiffany was letting
her to come to her house.
‘I think Fany is worried about me
Taeyeon smiled on her thought. Her smile widen when she remembered she just
claimed Tiffany as her woman that afternoon. She liked it. Honestly, Taeyeon likes

the pictures, Taeyeon still decided to look at the pictures. Tiffany and Yuri wearing
the couple shirts, Tiffany and Yuri holding hands, Tiffany back hugged Yuri and
lots more. Her tears unconsciously slipped down her face. The pain in her stomach
seems to be forgotten. Taeyeon stopped at a certain picture. A picture that she
wished she didnt want to witness. A picture of Tiffany and Yuris engagement day
where Yuri was seeing holding a ring and was about to slip the ring into Tiffanys
finger. Taeyeon stared at the picture for a while. She can only stare at the picture
with her already watering eyes. She remembered that day. That hurtful and tough
day for her to go through where she had to deal with her already broken heart. She
did not want to remember it but seeing the picture just made her remember that
day.
Taeyeon silently sobbed in her place.
“Tae-Taeyeon?” a voice called her.
Taeyeon turned her head and see Tiffany was looking at her. The younger girl did
not expect to see tears from Taeyeon.
“T-Taeyeon?”
Taeyeon looked away immediately and wiped away her tears.
“Uhh..s-sorry I was…I was just…” Taeyeon lost her words. She looked away once
more and brushed off the remaining tears on her face, unconsciously allowing
Tiffany to see her action.

“T-Taeyeon-” She stopped when Taeyeon cut her off.
“I-I think I better go, Tiffany. I think the pain in my stomach is already g-gone. I
am fine now. Thank you anyway for…for...” Taeyeon was unable to finish off her
words as she could no longer control her emotions. She decided to walk away from
the house.
To walk away from Tiffany.
Taeyeon walked slowly and passed Tiffany who seemed to be frozen in her place.
The younger girl was in fact did not know what to do after hearing that Taeyeon
wanted to go home already. Tiffany was panicked.
Her feet suddenly stopped from moving when her arm was grabbed tightly.
“Please…dont go.”

Stay For Me? Miss Me?
I did not know what runs to my mind. I have no idea what happened to me. I just
cannot let her go. Not yet. Maybe I was selfish. Yes you can say that. I think I
really love being with Taeyeon. I think I missed the moments that we had shared
together just like before. Perhaps because of that, I asked her to stop. I begged her
not to leave me.
I grabbed her arm and I held it tightly.
“P-please…dont go.”
‘Stay for a while
Taeyeon stopped in her track. She was surprised.
Did Tiffany really ask her to not leave her?
Taeyeon was confused. It was hard for her. It was difficult for her to decide. It was
too much for her already. Seeing the pictures of Tiffany being lovely and all with
Yuri just broke her heart. They were not together anymore. And now, at times like
this, Tiffany asked her not to leave her? How can Taeyeon just stay with Tiffany at
that moment when she knew really well that her heart could not take any more
pain?
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 346/537
‘She is not mine. Not any more
Taeyeon closed her eyes. She hoped to find the answer. She was still standing still
in her track and Tiffany was holding her tight, not wanting to let her go.
‘Why she is always making me fall into these situation?
“Tiffany…” Taeyeon bit her lips. She was confused. She could break in front of
the younger girl anytime if she stayed longer there.
It was hard for her to say what her heart really wanted to say. It was so different
with what her mind told her. It just made Taeyeon confused. It made Taeyeon
weak as the time goes by.
“I-I am sorry.” She opened her eyes finally. Tiffanys gripped becoming tighter.
“T-Taeyeon, I just want-“Tiffanys voice was shaking. And so her body.
“I am sorry, Tiffany. B- but I cant.”
Taeyeon turned her body to Tiffany, now facing the younger girl who already had
tears in her eyes.
“Why? Just stay…even for a moment.” Tiffany begged. She sounds so desperate.

Taeyeon looked at her hand that was being held by Tiffany. She looked at it sadly.
Her other hand hold Tiffanys arm that was initially holding her hand. Now
Taeyeon was holding Tiffanys hand instead.
The older girl then looked at Tiffany. Searching for Tiffanys eyes. Their eyes
connected for a while.
“You...you are confusing me, T-Tiffany.” Her words came out softly.
Tiffany did not talk back.
“Why do you ask me to s-stay now? I…I cant. It is not fair.” Taeyeon said sadly.
Tiffany was starting to frown. She did not understand what Taeyeon meant.
“I cannot stay here. Because of…this.” Taeyeon held up Tiffanys hand high. Her
eyes were planted on Tiffanys hand. The younger girl soon looked at her hand that
was held by Taeyeon.
Taeyeon traced softly at the ring that was on Tiffanys finger. Seeing that, Tiffany
can only bite her lips. She finally understood. She looked back at Taeyeon and
noticed that Taeyeon was feeling hurt.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 348/537
“Youre…someones fiancée already. And so…I need to go.” Her last words came
as whisper.
Taeyeon released Tiffanys hand. For the last time, she looked at the younger girl.
Taeyeon smiled at Tiffany.
“Im sorry and thank you for today.”
With that, Taeyeon walked away from Tiffany, leaving the girl behind.
Tiffany was totally speechless. She felt dizzy. She walked to the couch and sat on
it. Tiffany just witnessed Taeyeon just walked away from her. Being with Taeyeon
all day made her forgot her status. She looked at her ring. Her heart unexpectedly
felt hurt after she realized that she was already engaged with someone else. Tiffany
then realized what she had done to Taeyeon just now, asking her to stay was not
right. It was not right because she was just making the older girl confused. It was
not fair for Taeyeon. Tiffany just realized her mistake.
But somehow, deep inside, Tiffany really wanted Taeyeon to stay.
‘I think I fall for her again
…..
The next day
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 349/537
Taeyeon came to her working place weakly. She did not have enough sleep
because she kept thinking what just happened. She was confused with Tiffanys act
towards her. Not only that, Taeyeon was feeling hurt after witnessing the pictures.
She was jealous.
Taeyeon walked to her office slowly. She twisted the door knob and….
“BOO!”
“Ah!”
Taeyeon stepped backward a little. Her hand was pressing against her chest. She
was startled, totally surprised. Her heart was beating fast and hard.
“Hahaaha...Just look at your face, Kim Taeyeon. Youre funny when youre
shocked. Haahaa…”
Taeyeon breathed in deeply. She glared at the culprit that just made her body shook
because of the sudden surprised.
“Aww~dont be mad please. I just want to play. I did not see you yesterday.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 350/537
Jessica was pouting when Taeyeon was still giving her a dead glare. She walked to
the older girl and took her bag. Jessica pushed Taeyeons petite body into the
office and closed the door.
“Jessica, I swear I almost had a heart attack just now. Do you really want me to
die, huh?” Taeyeon finally spoke. She was already seating on the couch. Jessica
placed Taeyeons bag on the table. She can only giggle after hearing Taeyeon. The
younger girl then went to the couch and sat beside Taeyeon.
“Aww~I am sorry okay. Of course I dont want to make you die, silly. Like I said,
I just want to play.” The younger girl then fixed Taeyeons hair that was slightlycovering Taeyeons eyes. The older girl felt Jessicas cold fingers brushed slightly
against her skin. It made Taeyeon held her breath unconsciously because of the
younger girls sudden affection.
“Besides, I miss you.” Her eyes met with Jessicas soft -lovely eyes. The younger
girl already stopped her doing.
Seeing Taeyeon seemed like suddenly frozen in her place, Jessica decided to lean
forward. She just wanted to tease the older girl. She stopped when their faces were
just centimeters away from each other.
Jessica smirked when realizing Taeyeon was holding her breath.
“I said I miss you, Taeyeon-ah. Dont you miss me?” Her voice came soft. It seems
like Jessica was seducing the older girl.
For the second time, Taeyeon was left surprised with Jessicas behavior. The more
Jessica leaned forward, the more Taeyeon felt uneasy in her stomach.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 351/537
“Je-Jessica-yah, can you p- please err…”
Watching the uncomfortable and cute expressions that were shown by Taeyeon,
Jessica failed to further tease Taeyeon and end up bursting laughing.
“Haahaahaa…” The younger girl laughed hysterically and just made Taeyeon
widen her eyes.
“W-what is funny now?” Taeyeon found it weird that one second, the girl in front
of her seemed like to seduce her and another second; the girl was laughing her
heart out. Taeyeon just found it weird.
“Taeyeon-ah, you really need to see your face just now. So cute!” Jessica suddenly
pinched the flawless and chubby cheek in front of her.
Taeyeon once again was left speechless.
The younger girl then got up and faced Taeyeon. She raised her eyebrows and
looked at Taeyeon. The latter tilted her head not understand what Jessica meant by
raising her eyebrows.
“Yes?” Taeyeon asked.
“You did not answer me yet.”
“Huh? Answer what?”
Jessica sighed.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 352/537
“Do you miss me, Taeyeon-ah?”
“Err…I..I dont know?” Her answer came out as a question as Taeyeon was not
sure about it.
“What was that? You mean you dont miss me, huh?”
Jessica frowned.
“No...no. I mean, yes. No, I mean, yes I...did remember about you though.”
Taeyeon tried to explain herself. She found it odd that she did not want Jessica to
feel disappointed from her answer.
“Ah…good. At least youre thinking about me. Next time, I will make you think
about me all day long.” Jessica winked.
‘What was that? And what was her wink supposed to mean?
Taeyeon blinked her eyes. Jessica was there witnessing her cute action.
“Haha…so cute. Okay, Taeyeon. I need to resume my work.” The younger girl
headed to the door and opened it. She was about to walk out from Taeyeons
office when she suddenly remembered something.
“Ah! I want to talk to you about something. Can we go for lunch later?” Jessica
asked.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 353/537
Taeyeon was curious what the younger girl wanted to talk about.
“Yeah, sure.” She nodded. “But before that, can I ask you what you want to talk
about though?”
Jessica can only smile.
“Something important and…personal.”
.............
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 354/537
Who knows...Maybe
Taeyeon got up from her seat. She rearranged the files and paperwork that were
lying on her table neatly.
Taeyeon stretched for a while. She fixed her suit and then her hair. Taeyeon looked
at her watch.
“Time for lunch…with Jessica.”
Taeyeon grabbed her bag and walked out. She closed the door and turned her body
and saw Tiffany working diligently. Her eyes were focus on the computer in front
of her.
Taeyeon sighed as she remembered what happened last night at Tiffanys house.
The pictures that she saw, the way Tiffany stopped and begged her to stay. She
shook her head to erase the memory. Taeyeon walked away from her office and
went to Jessicas table just across her office, in front of Tiffanys table.
“Ehem.”
That caught Jessicas attention. The girl turned her head and looked at Taeyeon.
“Oh. Already?” Jessica looked at her watch. “Wait a bit. I am nearly done.”
Taeyeon nodded. She just stood rooted in her place while looking at her workers.
Some were already gone for their lunch. Some were still working.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 355/537
Taeyeon glanced at the girl who was sitting across the table. Tiffany was still
working. Taeyeon wondered when the girl would stop. She knew that Tiffany is a
very hardworking woman when it comes to job and that somehow worried
Taeyeon. She was worried about her health.
“Okay. Im done.” Jessica got up, grabbing her bag. Her back was still facing
Taeyeon. The latter can only watched her personal assistant.
Jessica flipped her hair and slowly turned her body facing Taeyeon. She fixed her
hair for a while. Taeyeon noticed her actions and she cannot help but to held her
breath as she witnessed how Jessica flipped her hair. Her heart stopped for a while.Taeyeon was mesmerized with the beauty in front of her.
“Come on.” Jessica approached Taeyeon. She noticed that Taeyeon was staring at
her.
“Whats wrong?” Jessica was already standing in front of her. Taeyeon stared at
Jessica, observing Jessicas face and suddenly admiring the girl.
“Taeyeonnie?”
Taeyeon blinked her eyes.
‘Why do I feel like this?
“Oh. S-Sorry.”
“You are spacing out. Come on. Lets go. I am hungry already.” Jessica flashed a
smile.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 356/537
“O-Okay.”
Without any warning, Jessica grabbed Taeyeons hand and held it. The sudden
contact was startling the older girl. Taeyeon raised her eyebrows, looking at
Jessica.
“I dont think this is wrong though.” Jessica held their already intertwined hand s.
“Lets go. I can hear your stomach is growling already.” Jessica laughed and
swings their hands while walking away from her table, feeling happy inside when
Taeyeon did not even protest her action.
The working girl was silently watching the two women. She breathed out heavily
when the two were already gone.
“It seems that Taeyeon likes Jessica. Maybe she is really moving on.”
……
Jessica put down the fork on the plate. She stopped eating as she was already full.
Jessica leaned back, watching around the restaurant. There was not much customer
on that day. The atmosphere was calm and Jessica likes it. Moreover, the
background music helped her to relax her mind.
Jessica grabbed her bag and took out a small bottle. She opened it and took out two
pills. Jessica put down the bottle and ate the pills. Then she drunk the water to help
her to swallow the pills that she had taken.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 357/537
“Why do you always eat that pill?” Taeyeon finally spoke out after silently
watching the girl.
Jessica met Taeyeons gaze.
“So youre always watching me, huh?”
Taeyeon was taken aback with the question. She can see a smirk appeared.
“Well…we always eat our lunch together.”
Jessica put back the small bottle inside her bag. She placed her bag beside the
empty chair beside her. Jessica then leaned forward, looking at Taeyeon.
“Im sick.”
Taeyeon furrowed her eyebrows. Jessica thought that was cute. She smiled.
“Well…not really sick though. I kind of lost my memory.”
“Huh. What do you mean?” Taeyeon asked, confused.
Jessica inhaled deeply. She then told everything to Taeyeon. The latter had her
eyes and mouth opened upon listening her story.
“Thats why I always have headaches. My head will be throbbing in pain when I
started to remember things. But I cant exactly remember what it is actually. It was
blurred. It is not clear.”
Taeyeon slowly tried to digest what she had just received from Jessica.
“Why you did not tell me about this before?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 358/537
“I thought you knew. You read my profile, right?”
Taeyeon thought for a while.
“I dont think I read your profile file. I dont receive it. Youre the last one to
report yourself to me. Remember, when you introduce yourself to me? I was
clueless at that time because I was not informed earlier that I have a personal
assistant.” A beautiful and kind personal assistant.
“Oh. Then that explain why you did not know me when you helped me the first
day. Honestly I also did not know who my boss is at first. Thats why I was scared
knowing I was late.” Jessica pouted remembering the past.
Taeyeon saw it and she chuckled.
“But I was relieved when I knew that you are our new director.” The girl smiled.
“Oh...why is that so?” Taeyeon asked then grinned expecting Jessicas answer.
“Because I know that my boss is kind and caring. The first time I saw her was
when she helped me when my car was broke. She even accompanied me, not
wanting to leave me alone. I was touched with her actions.”
The grin on her face was gone. Taeyeon felt her cheek was warm.
“But I regret something though.”
“Huh?”
“I did not ask her number before she left.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 359/537
At that time, Taeyeon just want to hide her face or ran away from Jessica. She did
not know why. She did not do anything wrong though but Jessicas words were
enough to make her blushed.
Jessica chuckled seeing how red Taeyeon was at that time. She then leaned
forward more.
“But now I am not worried. Because now I already have her number and I can
contact her all the time when I wanted to, right?”
Taeyeon shifted uncomfortably. She felt like a criminal under interrogation. But in
this case, under Jessicas stare. Intense stare.
Jessica did not receive a reply from Taeyeon. She saw Taeyeon had her hand on
the table. Jessica then held Taeyeons hand, surprising the older girl. The latter
silently cursed herself for placing her hand on the table at the first place.
‘Seriously, Jessica is seducing me now
“Taeyeon-ah, I can call you anytime, right?” She squeezed her hand.
“Of -Of course. A-anytime you want.” Taeyeon blamed herself for stuttering.
“Good to hear that.”
The younger girl smiled in victory. She released Taeyeons hand.
They went silent after that with Jessica still staring at Taeyeon. The older girl
however did anything that she can to avoid the intense stare that Jessica was giving
to her. She could feel her stomach flipped.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 360/537
Taeyeon cleared her throat before she asked the younger girl.
“So…I guess thats all you want to talk about?”
“Actually, I have something else to ask.”
“Okay. What is it?”
Taeyeon prayed inside hoping that Jessica would not ask weird questions to her.
“Do you have someone special?” Jessica asked bluntly.
Taeyeon did not expect Jessica would ask her such question. She tried to remember
what she had done in the past that her prayer was not heard.
“Youre single, right?”
Taeyeon exhaled heavily. Whats wrong with Jessica today? She tried to come out
with something but her brain seemed like it stops from working as soon as she
heard Jessicas straightforwardness.
Taeyeon finally looked at Jessica and nodded.
Her answer brought a hope and smile for the younger girl. Jessica silently thanked
for Taeyeons answer.
‘So I still have a chance, right?
She wanted to ask that question but looking at how uncomfortable Taeyeon was at
that time, Jessica just keep it.
Maybe another time.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 361/537
“Good then.”
Taeyeon raised her eyebrows, curious to what Jessica meant. Jessica noticed it but
she didnt say anything afterwards, leaving Taeyeon in questions.
Taeyeon then suggested to leave the restaurant and went back to their working
place, not wanting Jessica to ask more unexpected questions to her.
Their journey went quite with Taeyeon who was trying to figure out her feelings
for the younger girl and with Jessica who was smiling happily knowing that
Taeyeon has no one special at that time.
They walked together side by side when they arrived at the building. In the
elevator, Jessica held Taeyeons hand and intertwined their hands together. She
again smiled when Taeyeon did not complain her action.
The older girl was somehow feeling secure with Jessica holding her hand. Taeyeon
likes it. She felt great. Taeyeon was happy. Though she did not know what exactly
she feels towards Jessica, Taeyeon was sure that she was indeed falling slowly for
the girls charm.
They went hand-in-hand without saying anything. Others were looking at them and
started to talk about them.
Jessica released their hands as they were already arrived at her table. Taeyeon felt
lost when Jessica released her hand. She felt disappointed a bit.
“Thank you for the lunch though I am supposed to pay it instead of you.”
“No problems. Maybe next time?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 362/537
“S-sure.” Jessica did not expect for Taeyeon to offer her another time. It was rare
for Taeyeon to ask her such thing.
Taeyeon turned her body, about to leave Jessica when she heard the girl was
calling her again. She raised her eyebrows.
“So I guess…I still have a chance, right?”
Taeyeon once again was taken aback with Jessica. She knew what Jessica meant.
Taeyeon looked at the floor avoiding Jessicas eyes.
Jessica felt her heart beat faster than before waiting for the answer. She blamed
herself for rushing asking Taeyeon that question.
Not only Jessica, the girl who was sitting in front of her, Tiffany, was also
anticipating Taeyeons answer. And surely, she did not want an answer that would
shatter her heart.
Taeyeon looked up and smiled at Jessica.
“Who knows…maybe.”
Jessica smiled back and silently mouthed a ‘thank you to Taeyeon. She was
beyond happy.

real feeling. Taeyeon was bored and it was still early. She glanced at the clock
wall.
11 am.
Sighed.
Not interested with the storyline of the movie, Taeyeon switched it off. She looked
at her hand. There was some sauce from the snack that she had eaten. Taeyeon got
up to, heading to the kitchen to wash her hand.
Ding Dong!
The blonde stopped in her track, facing her body to the main door. She frowned,
thinking of the possible guests behind the door. Taeyeon brought her petite body to
the direction of the door while licking her fingers hoping to get rid some of the
sauce that was sticking on her fingers.
Before opening the door, Taeyeon looked at the peephole, searching for the personbehind it. Unfortunately, Taeyeon did not get to see anyone. It seemed the person
was hiding. She unlocked the door and opened it slowly, still licking her fingers.
The door was opened widely and not so far from her, there was a woman with
black hair, back facing her. The figure was so familiar to her. Taeyeon tried to look
at the woman in front of her.
“Ehem.” She cleared her throat, attracting her attention.
Upon hearing that, the woman turned her body and finally faced Taeyeon.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 365/537
Gasped!
Taeyeon covered her mouth, surprised to see her in front of her house.
“Hello, Taeyeon.” The girl smiled at her and walked to her, slowly approaching the
stunned girl.
The girl was wearing something that was different from her office outfit. Of course
since it was not their working day but still, Taeyeon was admiring the appearance
of the girl in front of her. The girl really got a great sense of fashion.
“Taeyeon? Hey.” She waved her hand in front of the blonde.
“H-Hey. Sorry. What are you doing here, Jessica?”
Jessica smiled at Taeyeon seeing how confused Taeyeon was at that time.
“Well. I want to ask you go out. With me, of course.”
Taeyeon might only see the bright smile plastered on her face, but inside, Jessica
was nervous. Before coming to Taeyeons house, she was hesitating about asking
Taeyeon going out with her. Thinking how nice Taeyeon treated her all these
while, Jessica was sure that Taeyeon will not reject her. Besides, Taeyeons answer
to her question whether she had a chance or not, further encouraged her to come
and meet Taeyeon on the next day.
“Huh?” Taeyeon did not get what Jessica said.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 366/537
‘Shoot! I have to repeat myself again
“Lets go out today with me, Taeyeonnie.”
The older girl widened her eyes. She gulped nervously.
“G-going out?”
“Yes.”
“Uhh…”
It was so sudden for Taeyeon. She knows that Jessica likes her. The girl told her
once before. Also, remembering about yesterday, Taeyeon felt her cheek suddenly
went warm.
‘Wait…is this a date?
Taeyeon furrowed her eyebrows, still thinking for a proper answer.
“Why? Do you have something already, Taeyeonnie?” Now it was the younger girl
to pout after seeing Taeyeons expression was not that good seeing her.
“Hmm…it seems that you have something up already. Well, maybe next time?”
Jessica asked.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 367/537
“Err…” Taeyeon felt like a fool for not giving a reply for the girl who asked her
out when she was initially felt bored.
“Then, I will just go then. Goodbye, Taeyeon.”
Jessica felt dejected. It was like Taeyeon was rejecting her. She was about to
turned her body when suddenly she felt her hand was being gripped. Jessica looked
back at Taeyeon. She raised her eyebrows, expecting Taeyeon to say something.
“W-wait. Where are you going? I have not said anything yet and you just left?”
“But you did not answer me.”
“No. I was actually thinking of something.”
Taeyeon released her hand.
‘Is this some sort of a date, Jessica? She wanted to ask.
“Well, since I am also feeling bored so…lets go then.” Taeyeon said softly.
“Really?! Great!” Jessica grinned happily hearing Taeyeons answer.
“Come inside then. I need to change, first.”
Taeyeon welcomed Jessica and asked her to get inside and sit on the couch while
waiting for her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 368/537
Taeyeon closed the door. She suddenly felt something inside thinking her day with
Jessica. Just her with Jessica. Of course she had shared her time with Jessica before
but that was on their working days. It was not the same. Her mind was still
thinking if Jessica was actually indirectly asked her for a date.
All these while, she had her head down, looking down.
Taeyeon turned around and stopped instantly after seeing Jessica was just right in
front of her, staring at her with that unknown expression.
“Y-yes? Something wrong?” Taeyeon asked.
The younger girl did not answer. Instead, she leaned forward and eyed Taeyeon.
The latter felt small under her gaze. The more Jessica leaned forward, Taeyeon
took a step backward.
“Uhh...Jess-“
Taeyeon gasped and stopped from going backward as Jessica put both her hands onTaeyeons arms, holding her to stay.
“Stay.”
The blonde looked directly at Jessicas eyes, silently asking what the girl was
about to do. Her heart was beating fast as soon as she found Jessica was leaning
forward, approaching her.
Knowing that Taeyeon would not go to move any further, Jessica released her
hands from holding Taeyeon. Her eyes went down from looking at Taeyeons eyes
to the girls lips.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 369/537
Taeyeon noticed that. She gulped her saliva.
Her thumb went to Taeyeons lips, caressing it softly. Taeyeon hissed at the sudden
contact. Her heart fluttered. The touch was cold.
“J-Jessica…” Taeyeon called out for the girl who had her eyes on her lips.
Jessica looked up to see Taeyeon. It was so obvious that Taeyeon was feeling
uncomfortable under her touch. She smirked.
Jessica leaned forward and whispered something to Taeyeon. The latter can feel
the younger girl warm breath against her skin. Taeyeon shuddered.
“Taeyeon-ah…”
Her voice was dangerously low that make it so sexy for anyone to hear. One might
think that Jessica was seducing Taeyeon.
Taeyeon clenched her fist. Somehow she felt that Jessica had this power to control
her that made her to go weak and unable to move instantly.
“I think…your lips are so soft and smooth. It feels so good under my touch. No
wonder…”
Taeyeon closed her eyes.
‘Oh my god. This…not again
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 370/537
She held her breath.
“…no wonder the sauce wants to stick on your lips.”
“….”
Jessica went away from Taeyeon and laughed so hard. She had her hand on her
stomach after seeing Taeyeons awkward and confused expressions.
“Hahaha...Taeyeon-ah, there is still some sauce on your mouth.”
Taeyeon felt embarrassed after realizing that she had not washed her hands and
mouth earlier. So her personal assistant, all these while was witnessing the mess on
her face.
‘Shoot myself
Taeyeon wiped away her mouth with the back of her hand, not wanting to further
embarrass herself in front of Jessica. Taeyeon was already blushing.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 371/537
“Aigoo. Youre like a kid, Taeyeon-ah. Go and wash your mouth already.” Jessica
directed Taeyeon.
She then asked Taeyeon to change her clothes.
Soon, the girls went out using Taeyeons car.
.....
With You (Part II)
“What are we supposed to do here, Jessica?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 372/537
Taeyeon asked the girl as soon as they arrived at the Lotte World. Her eyes
wondered around the place. Quite a number of people were there. The last time
Taeyeon went there was when she was still with Tiffany. There were lots of
memories created between her and Tiffany in that place. She was hesitated to come
to the place when Jessica requested her. But knowing that past is a past and so she
needs to move on, Taeyeon decided to give it a try.
Her eyes went back to the girl beside her after scanning the large place.
“So, why are we here?”
Jessica looked back at Taeyeon. She smiled.
“My sister, Krystal, told me that I used to go here often. So I thought it would be
good to visit this place so that I can gain my memory back.” Still flashing her
smile.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 373/537
Taeyeon nodded. She pitied Jessica. The two then started walking. They went
around the building, just wondering around to get the familiar feelings that they
used to have before.
As they were walking around, Taeyeon remembered the moments she and Tiffany
would ride the Merry-Go-Round. Tiffany and her shared one horse and ride it
together. She always teased and tickled the girl.
Taeyeon smiled sadly at the memory. She sighed.
‘Past is the past
Jessica on the other hand tried to recall back her past. Since she was curious about
her pass, Jessica asked her sister about herself. Wanting to help her only dear
sister, Krystal told her sister about her past little by little. She however did not tell
the older girl that she had someone that really loves her.
Krystal did not tell Jessica about the existence of a woman called Kwon Yuri.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 374/537
The reason was because Krystal did not want her sister to get surprised to receive
such information. Jessica might suffer massive pain just from recalling her past.
And Krystal certainly did not want that. She really loves her sister and so she
promised herself not to hurt Jessica again, the only one that care about her.
Krystal regretted what she had done in the past. She knew the accident occurred
because of her. It was started because of her. If only she did not behave so wrongly
at that time, if only she could listen to her sister on that particular night, Jessica and
Yuri will probably live happily together already. Krystal blamed herself to whathad happened to her sister and Yuri. Yes, she really hates Yuri but that was before.
She was too immature to see things clearly.
After knowing that her sister lost her memory, Krystal did not know what to do.
She wanted to tell Yuri but her ego had deceived her at that time and caused her to
get greedy. She thought, with Jessica losing her memory, maybe she can reset
everything and create a new story between her and her sister. She thought she
could repay everything by just doing so. Krystal forgot and neglected the pure and
sincere love that existed between the two persons.
It cant be denied, Krystal had really changed after the incident. She treated Jessica
very well and she really took care of her sister with undivided love. Time passed
and Krystal thinks like a grown up people. She becomes a mature woman. She
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 375/537
really thought a lot about the pass. And by then, she just realized that she had yet
made another mistake again.
Thats separating Jessica and Yuri.
Krystal made up her mind to tell her sister everything on one night since she was
feeling so much guilty inside. But unfortunately, the night she wanted to tell
Jessica about the truth was the night when she learnt that Jessica was in fact
already met Yuri. And that would make it more complicated. After knowing that
Yuri was already engaged with someone, Krystal felt like she was carrying a big
sin on her shoulder.
It was too late. And Krystal did not know what to do.
Jessica tried to recall the past but it only brought pains in her head. Every time she
did that, she will get headaches. For the past few weeks, Jessica had been hunted
with a blurred picture of a woman, calling for her name.

“Hey.” She touched her shoulder.
Jessica was startled with the contact. She opened her eyes and saw Taeyeon was
looking at her with a worried expression plastered on her face.
“Are you okay?”
“I…”
Jessica turned her head, again scanning the place. That familiar feeling was coming
again.
‘I think I have been here before
She turned to look at Taeyeon again.
“I am fine, Taeyeonnie.” She smiled at the girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 378/537
“Are you sure? Your face looks pale though.” Her eyes were round, worrying her
personal assistant. “Lets sit here first.” Taeyeon suggested.
They made their way to the nearby bench.
“I think I have been here before. But I cannot remember it clearly.” She said softly.
“For the past few weeks, there is this woman coming to my mind. And every time I
want to recall who she was, my head will throb like crazily. Sometimes I will get
faint.”
The older girl listened to her.
“Dont do that. I meant youre just putting pressure at yourself. At the end you will
get the pain. And thats not good for your body. You might get sick if you
overthinking of something. I am sure you will gain your memory back. You just
need to wait for the time, Jessica.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 379/537
Jessica looked Taeyeon in the eyes while the older girl was saying those to her.
Taeyeons words somehow brought some weird feelings to her.
She was touched.
Jessica felt loved.
“Wait here. I will get you a drink. Dont go anywhere, okay.” Taeyeon stood up.
“Taeyeon.” She caught her wrist. Taeyeon raised her eyebrows.
“Thank you.”
After a while, Taeyeon came, bringing a fruit juice to Jessica. Jessica took it.
Seeing that Jessica was getting better, Taeyeon felt relieved inside. She did not
know why she was worried about the girl before.

Tiffany nodded her head.
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat now or you want to do something else
perhaps?”
“Lets just walk. I am not that hungry.”
“Okay. I am fine with anything actually.”
Yuri shifted her eyes from Tiffany, looking around the place. She gulped at the
past memory that suddenly coming to her mind. She used to go there often, almost
every week just to spend her time with the one that she loves.
‘I miss her
Yuri breathed in deeply when she saw a couple playing at the ice rink, laughing
together while pushing each other. They were so lovely, so sweet while leading
each other at the same time.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 382/537
‘Just like me and Jessica
Her thoughts were cut when she suddenly a sudden contact. Yuri looked at Tiffany
and saw the girl was holding her hand. She raised her eyebrows.
“You miss me so much, eh?” She meant to tease.
Tiffany did not say anything. She felt weird. She usually would feel butterflies in
her stomach every time she holds Yuris hand. But strangely, it seems that fee ling
was gone. She squeezed her hand, trying to assure and convince herself about
something.
Yuri was confused with Tiffanys action. She moved in front, facing Tiffany, still
holding her hand.
“Is something wrong, babe?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 383/537
Again, Tiffany did not re ply. She kept squeezing Yuris hand while closing her
eyes.
“Tiffany.”
Yuri frowned when Tiffany did not utter any sound. She brought her other hand up
and brushed Tiffanys hair aside. She removed the strains of hair that covered her
face.
“Why?” She cupped her face. Tiffany looked up to see her fiancé.
She looked at her eyes. The unusual beating of her heart when every time she looks
at Yuri was no longer there.
‘What is wrong with me? Yuri is my fiancé. I love her. I lov-
Tiffany shook her head.
“Are you sick, Tiffany?” Yuri asked.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 384/537
“Uhh…no. I am good. Perfectly fine. I am sorry. I got distracted a while ago.”
Tiffany tried to convince the other girl.
Not wanting to question the girl again, Yuri just nodded. She stared at Tiffany for a
while.
‘I cant get back though. Tiffany is too nice for me
Yuri sighed.
She leaned forward, wanting to kiss Tiffany on the forehead.
“Tiffany! Yuri!”
Yuri stopped from doing what she wanted to do earlier. She turned her head to the
voice. She cannot help but to gasp at the sight of the person that called her name.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 385/537
‘Jessica
Her eyes light up watching Jessica approaching at her direction. Her heart came to
alive. Her heart was beating to a rhythm of love. She was surprised but she cannot
hide the happiness that she felt inside seeing her love, seeing Jessica again.
“Hi. Did you guys come to play here?” Jessica waved her hand, greeting them.
“H-hi. We actually-“Yuri stopped when she saw someone behind Jessica.
“Oh. You come with Director Kim.” Feeling disappointed inside but she didnt
show it.
Taeyeon stood beside Jessica. Her eyes were planted at the girl who was standing
in front of her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 386/537
“No need to call me Director. Taeyeon is enough.” She smiled. Her eyes darted to
the hands that were intertwined together. Taeyeon bite her lips. Feeling jealous
inside though she had seen it enough.
Taeyeon looked away.
Tiffany was the first one to see Taeyeon. She thought Jessica was coming alone
initially but it turned out that Taeyeon was coming with Jessica. She felt uneasy
seeing Taeyeon with Jessica. It did not feel right for her. Taeyeon was not
supposed to be with Jessica.
‘Are they official already?
It just made her jealous.
“Me and Taeyeonnie here…” Jessica suddenly linked her arms with Taeyeon,
startled the latter. Two pairs of eyes automatically planted on the now linked armsin front of them.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 387/537
“We are going to play at the ice rink. Want to join us?” Jessica who was clueless of
the tension suggested.
The others did not reply. Taeyeon was hoping that the couple would not join them.
It would be awkward. But part of her wanted them to join as she wanted to see
Tiffany.
“Come on. Play and relieve the stress just for today.” Jessica said excitedly while
eyeing Yuri and Tiffany, waiting for their answers.
“Okay. We will be playing.” Tiffany finally said something while staring at
Taeyeon.
Her reason was simple.
Tiffany also wanted to see and spend some time with Taeyeon.
......
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 388/537
With You (Part III)
Jessica clapped her hands, a kind of celebration for her. She was too excited having
the couple also joining her and Taeyeon to play at the ice rink. She was too excited
that she did not notice Yuri was watching her all these time, never leaving her eyes
from staring at Jessica.
‘Just like the past, she will be really excited to play
Yuri smiled watching her love was happy.
They made their way to the ice rink with Taeyeon and Jessica in front and followed
with Tiffany and Yuri at the back. They were silent, just following the other girls
in front of them, lost in their own thoughts. Their eyes were constantly eyeing the
linked arms which made both Tiffany and Yuri bitter inside. They could hear the
conversation between Taeyeon and Jessica. Well, mostly Jessica was the one who
talked the most. Taeyeon can only listen and sometimes nodded her head in
replying the younger girl.
Taeyeon was feeling tense inside. She had a lot to think. She thought of how
awkward it will be when they were going to play later. She was thinking how she
could talk to Tiffany. Or maybe, Taeyeon might not initiate any conversation with
Tiffany. But that would be rude. She did not feel that was a right thing to do.
There were few questions that she wanted to ask Tiffany. What the latter meant by
asking her to stay on that particular night. Did she really want me to stay with her?
Those questions were haunting her. She was demanding for the answers coming
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 389/537
from Tiffany herself. Taeyeon wanted to ask, but she was hesitating. Maybe
Tiffany was just asking her to accompany her that night.
She sighed.
Tiffany did not say anything after seeing Taeyeon was with Jessica. She was
actually surprised to see the two were together. She remembered Taeyeons reply
to Jessica at the office.
“Who knows…perhaps…”
‘So that means Taeyeon is giving Jessica a chance?
Tiffany looked up. Across, she could see Jessica, clapping her hands. Then she was
punching Taeyeon lightly on the shoulder. They were joking around. Taeyeon was
laughing along. It brought sting in Tiffanys heart witnessing such scene. She
gritted her teeth watching how happy Taeyeon was whenever she with Jessica.
“Thats wrong. You wore it wrongly, babe.” Yuri pointed out, cutting off her
thoughts. Tiffany looked up to see Yuri. The latter bent down, showing how the
right way to wear the ice skating boot.
“Here. It goes like this. Then like this. There, done. For your information, I
especially chose the pink boot since you like pink so much.” Yuri smiled
afterwards.
“Thanks.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 390/537
“No problem.”
“Err…Yuri-ah.” Tiffany called out. Yuri raised her eyebrows, staring at her fiancé.
“Actually, I have no idea on how to ice skate.” She confessed. Feeling embarrassed
at the same time.
Yuris mouth was opened. Then she chuckled.
“No wonder you did not know how to do it earlier. Its okay. I will teach you
later.”
Yuri again flashed her smile to the girl.
“Ah…its been a long time I havent played this. I miss this so much.”
‘I miss playing with Jessica
Yuri looked at Jessica who was now looking at the people playing at the ice rink.
‘Sica-yah, do you remember us playing here?
Taeyeon watched silently the couple across her. She admits that Yuri is a kind and
also a gentle woman. No wonder Tiffany fall for her.

“Ah. It hurts.” Tiffany rubbed her knees. She was having a hard time balancing
herself while getting up.
“I-I am sorry. I got distracted.” Yuri silently blamed herself.
“Its okay. I am at fault because I dont know how to do it in the first place.” She
said simply, not wanting to make Yuri feel guilty.
“Tiff, are you okay?” Jessica approached the couple. Taeyeon followed behind.
When she heard Tiffany was yelping in pain, Taeyeon immediately went to the
couple. But since she was being careful moving to them, it made her the last one to
arrive. She was deadly worried after seeing Tiffany had that painful expression on
her face.
“Uhh…Its okay. I am fine. Just feeling hurt a little.” Tiffany replied. She looked
at Taeyeon. Concerned was showing on her face.
“Can we rest for a while?” Tiffany asked.
“Of course. Lets go.” Yuri supported Tiffany. She felt guilty. If she did not leave
the girl earlier, Tiffany would not get hurt. And that happened because she was too
mesmerized with Jessicas beauty.
Taeyeon and Jessica also decided to take a rest for a while. Taeyeon watched at
how unstable Tiffany was when she walking. She remembered the younger girl
once injured herself because she was in a hurry. That caused Tiffany to stay in the
bed for the whole week, unable to walk.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 395/537
“Sit here first. I will buy drinks for us.” Yuri ordered. Before Yuri went away, she
asked what Jessica and Taeyeon wanted to drink. She also asked the two to look
over her fiancé.
“Yuri is so protective, right?” Jessica said. She looked over at Taeyeon. “Tiffany is
lucky.”
Taeyeon did not say anything. Her eyes went to the people that occupied the ice
rink. Her mind was actually thinking what Jessica just said. She did not want to
admit it because she thought she could have done better in taking care of Tiffany if
they were still together.
Taeyeon was so deep in her thought that she did not realize that Jessica was
already leaning to her. Her head was on her left shoulder. Taeyeon looked over at
Jessica and she can only shake her head. She thought the girl was adorable.
Taeyeon looked up and her eyes met Tiffanys. There were frozen for a while, still
staring at each other. From what Taeyeon can see, Tiffanys expression was not
that good. It seems that the girl was not pleased seeing her and Jessica like that.
Seeing how Tiffany was at that moment, part of her felt guilty. She almost asked
Jessica to not rest her head to her body so that she can wipe out the frown that was
shown on Tiffanys face.
Tiffany then looked away. She was feeling jealous seeing how freely Jessica can
behave with Taeyeon.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 396/537
At the same time, a pair of eyes was actually observing Jessica and Taeyeon. Yuri
was at first wanted to call the two and gave them their drinks but she was no longer
had that confidence when she saw Jessica was leaning to Taeyeon.
‘You only did that to me, Sica-yah
She felt hurt inside. And so Yuri called them and gave them their drinks to break
their moments. Because of that, Jessica was no longer leaning to Taeyeon and that
somehow made Yuri felt better inside.
“Oh. Wow! Look at that couple. They are so sweet together while ice skating. I
want to do that also.” Yuri unconsciously said rather loudly which caused Jessica
to turn her head to face the girl.
“Do you skate well?” Her sudden question surprised Yuri.
Yuri looked at Jessica and smiled afterwards. “Of course.”
‘I am the one that taught you before, Sica-yah
“How about you? Did you learn by yourself?”
Jessica thought for a while. She pouted.
“I dont know. I cant remember. But I has these strong feelings for ice skating.”
She put her hand over her chest.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 397/537
‘Thats because we always spend our time here
“Ah~I wish I can play like that.” Yuri pointed out at the couple that was holding
their hands, skating together with their arm opened wide.
“Lets play together then!” Jessica suggested surprisingly.
Yuri who cant believe what she heard looked at Jessica. The latter was serious and
through her eyes, Yuri can see that Jessica really wanted to play.
“Uhh…thats if Tiffany-“
“I am okay. Just go and play with her. I dont think I can play again since my
knees are hurt.” Tiffany cut off Jessica.
Yuri thanked her fiancé and turned to look at Jessica again.
“Taeyeon, lets go.” Jessica said, already getting up.
Knowing that Jessica was also asking Taeyeon along to play, Yuri felt dejected.
She only wanted to play with Jessica alone. Her head hang down, waiting for
Taeyeon to stand up from her seat. Yuri sighed for the umpteenth times.
“Err…I dont think I want to play, Jessica-yah. You can see me earlier how bad I
am, right?” Truthfully, she was actually concerned with Tiffany. All these while,
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 398/537
she was actually observing the younger girl who constantly rubbing her knees. And
Taeyeon wanted to accompany her.
Hearing what just coming from Taeyeon, Yuri suddenly felt excited. She thanked
Taeyeon silently. Not only Yuri, Tiffany also felt the same. It meant that she and
Taeyeon were left alone.
“Well then, lets go, Yuri-ah.” Jessica extended her hand, making Yuri confused.
“You dont mind if I hold your hand, right?” She asked Yuri.
Yuri shook her head, feeling her head beat much faster than before.
“Tiffany, I will borrow Yuri for a while, okay?” Tiffany nodded and smiled at
them. The two then went away from Taeyeon and Tiffany.
‘I am yours, Sica-yah
Yuri brought Jessica further, still intertwining their hands together. She held her
hand tightly, telling herself not to let go of Jessicas hand. Since there were so
many people on that day, it was difficult to spot the two.
They were moving in sync, laughing together. Just like the old times that they usedto be. Yuri and Jessica moved around, spinning and they even raced together.
Jessica laughed at Yuri as the girl fall since she was unable to balance herself after
doing a lot of spinning. Yuri sat at the ice rink, laughing along with Jessica. She
again felt the happiness from the past.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 399/537
Jessica offered her hand to help Yuri. The latter took her hand but found herself
falling again as Jessica playfully shoved Yuri back. Yuri found it amusing seeing
how that kind of action brought laughter and smiles to Jessica. Yuri then faked
cried and rubbed her eyes like a kid. That caused Jessica to burst out laughing.
“Hahaha…”
“Do you really like that?”
“Youre seriously funny, Yuri-ah.” Jessica then sat beside her. They rest for a
while.
A slow and romantic music played as the two got up, ready to play again. The
timing was perfect. Soon, she found people surrounding them paired up and dance
in a couple. Yuri looked at Jessica and met her eyes. She raised her eyes.
“Shall we?”
….
Taeyeon cant stay seated when she heard Tiffany hissing in pain whenever she
rubbed her knees. After contemplating a few times, Taeyeon decided to approach
Tiffany. She did not even care what she might encounter next. What she wanted to
do that time was to confront the girl and asked about her condition.
“Tiffany.” She called out.
The called girl turned her head and saw Taeyeon standing right in front of her. She
did not realize her presence as she was busy soothing the pain around her knees.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 400/537
Tiffany noticed that Taeyeon was not looking at her but instead at her knees that
she had rubbed constantly. Tiffany then stopped from what she was doing. She
looked at Taeyeon again. Observing her face. She saw Taeyeon was frowning.
“Are you okay?” The blonde asked.
‘Are you really worried about me, Taeyeon-ah?
“Yeah.” Tiffany looked away. She cant look straight at Taeyeon for long. Inside,
she was having a mix of feelings. She was sad knowing that Taeyeon was with
Jessica. Remembering how Jessica leaned earlier to her and how Taeyeon treated
Jessica nicely just brought sting in her heart.
“But I dont think youre fine though. You cant even walk properly earlier.”
Tiffany did not say anything.
A part of her was feeling happy knowing that Taeyeon was actually asking about
her condition. It meant that she was worried about her. But a part of her felt that
she was not supposed to have that kind of feelings as she was no longer with
Taeyeon.
That Taeyeon was actually not hers anymore.
That Taeyeon was already have Jessica, replacing herself.
That means that…she is not going to be with Taeyeon anymore.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 401/537
Tiffany was unconsciously pressing hard on her knees while thinking all those
things which caused her to flinch afterwards.
“Ah!”
“Omo!”
Taeyeon suddenly bent down in front of Tiffany and sat on her knees. Her action
surprised Tiffany.
“W-what are you d-doing?”
“Does it really hurt, Fany-ah?” She looked up at Tiffany. Her eyes showed
concerned. Her hands rested on the sides of Tiffanys legs, trapping her.
“I-I am f-fine.” Though honestly she was not.
Taeyeon brought her hand on Tiffanys knee and lightly touched it. Her small
action caused Tiffany to yelp in pain. Her eyes went closed.
“Youre hurt!” Taeyeon raised her voice. The younger girl was taken aback.
“Im fine!” Tiffany replied back.
“No, youre not. Let me see it.”
“No. Dont.”
“Dont be stubborn. I will not hurt you, Tiffany. I promise.” Taeyeon raised her
hand.
“No need to do that. It only hurts a bit.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 402/537
Tiffany was actually feeling touched inside.
“I insist. Just let me see it.”
“No-“
Unfortunately she was late. Taeyeon was already rolling up her jean up slowly and
carefully. Tiffany shivered a little when she felt her fingers brushed lightly against
her skin.
“Omo! You got bruise there.” Taeyeon pointed out. Her expression darkened
seeing the bruise on Tiffany. Her hands started to tremble knowing that it must be
hurt a lot.
Taeyeon looked up at Tiffany. She saw her tears were already rolling down. That
made Taeyeon more worried.
It was not because of she was feeling hurt. It was not because of the pain that she
felt. Her tears were because of Taeyeon. She was moved with the older girlsconcern towards her. Taeyeon was so nice although they were not together
anymore. Tiffany felt guilty inside knowing that again, she had misjudged the
older girl.
Taeyeon still cares. Taeyeon is still the same. She never changed.
‘It was me that changed

Remember Me
“Shall we?”
Yuri offered her hand.
“B- but I cant really dance.” Jessica whispered. She looked at the other couples
who were already moving along the music. They were so engulfed in their own
world.
“Its okay. I will guide you.” Yuri again offered her hand. Seeing the smileplastered on her face, Jessica did not want to disappoint the younger girl and so she
hesitantly took Yuris hand. Yuri smiled, feeling glad that Jessica did not reject
her.
The two shuddered as their skin touched each other.
Yuri leaned forward. She placed her left hand around Jessicas waist making the
older girl inched forward towards her. She intertwined her other hand with
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 405/537
Jessicas left hand. The older girl had no choice but to place her right hand on
Yuris waist.
They moved slowly along the music. Jessica was unable to look up, to face Yuri.
She was feeling awkward. Her body became tense around Yuri. It was strange, it
seems that her body was rejecting it but inside, she felt like she had done this
before. The feeling was familiar to her. Jessica likes it.
As the time passed by, Jessica was feeling comfortable around Yuri, dancing and
moving along with her. She can smell Yuris scent. Jessica closed her mind as she
wanted to remember the nice scent coming from Yuri.
All these while, Yuri was looking at Jessica. She observed her features, trying toremember back Jessicas face in the past. Not much a difference. It is just that
Jessicas face is a bit thin. But she still looks beautiful in Yuris eyes.
“I like your scent.” Jessica looked up, finally, facing Yuri. “It seems familiar to
me.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 406/537
‘Thats because you always hug me
Yuri smiled, not saying anything back.
Jessica was staring at Yuris face, slowly tracing her face. It started from her eyes,
then her nose and it ended on her lips. Her eyes stopped at Yuris lips for a while.
It seems soft. Jessica wanted to touch it.
She closed her eyes and lightly shook her head. A flash of memory came to her
mind. She was tightly hugging a woman, placing her head on the womans
shoulder.
‘Sica baby~’
She heard the voice.
Jessica instantly opened her eyes and when she looked up once again, Yuri was
still looking at her. The older girl lost in Yuris eyes.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 407/537
Jessica can feel and see loneliness in Yuris eyes. Strangely, she felt the same as
Yuris. Her eyes were searching f or something. It seems that by only looking at
Yuris eyes, Jessica can discovered secrets and stories from Yuri. And so she kept
her eyes staring at Yuris.
As Yuri was staring at Jessicas eyes, the past memories came flooding in her
mind. The moments that they shared and created together were running in her
mind. There were times when she wanted to tell Jessica the truth but every time
she wanted to do it, there must be something that interrupt her. And that made her
feel frustrated.
They used to stare at each other when they have nothing to say. Yuri can feel like
she was communicating with Jessica. She can feel love in her eyes. And the love
was still there but it was just that Jessica did not remember her. And so the love
was buried deep inside, so deep that Jessica cant see it.
‘Sica-yah, cant you really remember me?

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 409/537
Yuri breathed in deeply. She shook her head.
“I am fine. I am s-sorry. It is just that, this place reminds me of my past love.” Her
voice cracked.
“Oh…” Jessica clenched her jaws, suddenly feeling guilty. “I am sorry. I dont
know.”
“Its okay.”
“Do you want to sit there for a while?” Jessica suggested, pointed at an area where
there was less people. “I mean only if youre-“
“Yeah. Lets.”
The two then went to the suggested area, not uttering any sound in the way.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 410/537
As they were sitting, not talking to each other as Jessica wanted Yuri to calm
down, another soft music was played.
“Do you know this music?” Jessica suddenly asked.
“Kiss the rain.” Yuri replied.
Of course she knew it because it was Jessicas favorite.
“Youre right. How do you know?” Now facing the younger girl.
“My lover loves this music.” She smiled at the older girl.
“Tiffany?”
“I meant my past lover.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 411/537
“Oh.”
A silence accompanied them for a while.
“I also love this music so much. When I am down, I will listen to it. Then I will
just cry till I fall asleep.” She again faced Yuri.
“Yeah. I know.” Not really realizing what she said.
“Huh?”
“Oh. No. I meant…this music is good to accompany you when youre down.”
Jessica nodded. She then stared at Yuri for a while. She then moved closer to the
younger girl. She brought her hands to Yuris face, making Yuri to face her. Yuri
was surprised with the sudden contact.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 412/537
“Let me wipe away your tears.” She wiped away her tears with her thumbs.
“Now, smile for me.”
‘I love you, Sica-yah
She smiled doing what Jessica asked her to do. Jessica released her hands.
“I always went here to play with my past lover. Almost every week, we spent our
time here.” Yuri looked at other couple who were still dancing. Then she turned
her head, looking at Jessica.
“When we danced earlier, it reminds me of her. I cant control my tears because I
miss her so much, I am sorry.”
“Its okay, really. Hmm…if you dont mind, may I know why you two broke up?”
Jessica asked carefully.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 413/537
Yuris expression changed. Jessica noticed it. She felt guilty.
“Im sorry. Dont mind-“
“We were never broke up actually.” Yuri cut her off. “We really love each other so
breaking up never exists in our dictionary.”
Yuri inhaled deeply. It was hard for her to tell Jessica when she was actually
talking about the older girl.
“Something happened. It happened just a few days before our engagement day.”
Jessica gasped. “Oh my. I am sorry again.”
Yuri shook her head, telling her it was okay.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 414/537
“She is really beautiful. She is sweet. A caring and a great sister who really loves
her one and only sister. Everything. She is really perfect.”
Jessica felt something as Yuri said those.
“We promised to live together. We never really argue. Even when we did, she will
be the one that confront me, hugging me.”
Jessica closed her eyes. A blurred picture of her hugging a woman came to her
mind.
“Unfortunately, something happened and it cant be avoided. That incident
separated us.”
Jessica groaned as another blurred picture of a woman appeared just in a flash. She
opened her eyes. She looked at Yuri again.
“Huh. What actually happen to her?” Jessica asked. Her head was feeling dizzy.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 415/537
‘Even if I told you, you wouldnt remember me
“She cant remember me.” Yuri was expecting of the older girls reaction. The girl
was scrunching her eyebrows.
“Accidents happened. She…lost her memory.” Yuri said weakly. Another tears
escaped.
‘It was you
Her heart suddenly beat a little beat faster as she saw the tears escaped from Yuri.
Remembering what the girl said about her past lover weirdly brought sting to her
heart. She thought it must be the feeling of pity towards the younger girl.
Jessica again brought her hand to Yuris face, wiping away the tears with her
thumb slowly.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 416/537
Yuri held Jessicas hand that she used to wipe away her tears. The older girl was
confused with her action. Yuri stared at Jessicas eyes for a moment.
‘Please remember me, my love. Even just for a second
She then closed her eyes, guiding Jessicas hand to caress her face. She missed her
touch, Yuri missed how Jessica used to caress her face. Slowly, she guided
Jessicas hand on her face. Then she opened her eyes and kissed Jessicas hand
softly.
Jessica was taken aback with Yuris action. She felt familiar with it. A picture of a
woman kissing her hand exactly just likes what Yuri had done to her came in a
flash. Immediately, she released her hand from Yuri.
Yuri felt hurt with her action.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 417/537
‘Cant you really remember me? Its me, Sica-yah. Its me, your love
Jessica looked away. She felt her heart beat unusually fast. It made her head throb
crazily. The two did not look each other.
“L-Lets go b- back.” Jessica stuttered.
Yuri nodded. She got up then followed by Jessica. Yuri was honestly feeling hurt
as Jessica retreated her hand. Not wanting Jessica to witness another tears coming
from her, Yuri went away first.
She felt her head was heavy. Her world was spinning.
Jessica watched as Yuri went away from her.
There was a flash of a woman walking away from her, waving her hand to her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two

8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 419/537
“Sica!” She shouted and went fast to the unconscious girl, still with her ice skate
boot on.
“Oh my god!” Yuri knelt down and brought Jessicas body up on her lap. Yuri
called her name but Jessica did not response.
She called for help. Her screams were heard by Taeyeon and Tiffany. The two
went hurriedly to her and call an ambulance. Jessica was sent to the hospital.
The ride to the hospital was filled with Yuri constantly calling Jessicas name. Yuri
held Jessicas hand, bringing it close to her. She was crying as she was worried of
Jessicas condition.
She did not realize that in the ambulance, there were also Tiffany and Taeyeon.
Her actions towards Jessica brought confusion and questions to the two girls
especially Tiffany.
…….
The next day.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 420/537
Tiffany was unable to concentrate doing her works. She kept remembering how
Yuri reacted when Jessica was sent to the hospital. She can still remember how
Yuri cried for the girl and called her name constantly. Tiffany cant describe her
feelings as she watched Yuri treated the unconscious girl in front of her. What she
knew was that she certainly felt jealous at that time. She felt unfair.
Tiffany felt unfair the most as Yuri asked her to go home first. She asked why Yuri
was so caring towards Jessica and Yuri can only said that she was feeling guilty for
leaving the girl and did not notice her becoming unconcious. But even so, Tiffany
felt thatYuri was over reacted. She did not feel right.
Tiffany was deep in her thought. She did not realize that it was already time for
lunch. She called Yuri for lunch and was disappointed as her fiancé was unable to
make it. At the end, Tiffany decided to eat alone.
She got up from her seat. She grabbed her bag and walked away. Tiffany stopped
in her track as the door to Taeyeons office suddenly opened. Then she saw
Taeyeon coming out from it.
Their eyes met.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 421/537
“Ah. There you are. I am about to call you. Come to my office for a while.”
Taeyeon directed without waiting for Tiffanys reply.
Tiffany hesitantly walked into Taeyeons office and she was left standing in front
of the directors table.
“Sit on the couch first. I will come back in a while.” Taeyeon said and left Tiffany
in her office alone.
The younger girl sat and huffed loudly as she had a lot in her mind. The moment
Taeyeon called her into her office, her mind started to think the possible things that
Taeyeon wanted to talk to her.
The door opened stopping the girl from thinking further. Taeyeon then appeared
and walked back to her table without even looking at Tiffany. The latter was
pouting with her action. Tiffany was silently watching Taeyeon who seemed
looking for something.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 422/537
“Oh. Here it is!” In her hand, there was a small white box. Tiffany was curious of
what it could be.
The older girl then made her way to the girl who sat on the couch. She knelt down
in front of Tiffany, surprising the younger girl. She looked up at Tiffany and a
smile formed on her face.
Tiffany raised her eyebrows, completely confused with Taeyeon.
The blonde then put the box beside Tiffany. She placed her hand on the younger
girls knee. Her action caused Tiffany to flinch from her seat.
“It still hurts? I am sorry.” Taeyeon looked at Tiffany.
She bites her lips, looking hesitant at that moment. Taeyeon then lifted up
Tiffanys skirt slowly. Tiffany widened her eyes. She immediately stopped the
other girl from lifting up her skirt further.
“Wait! W-What are you doing right now?!” She held Taeyeons hand, stopping the
girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 423/537
“I thought your knees are still hurt?” She looked at Tiffany.
“Y-Yes.”
“And so I brought this plaster. It says that it can heal your bruise.”
Tiffany looked at the small box that Taeyeon held.
“I-I am not g-going to do anything to y-you, if thats what youre worrying about.”
The older girl said softly as her cheek turned warm.
Tiffany did not say anything. She felt embarrassed.
“Hmm…if you dont mind, please a-allow me to p- put this plaster on your knees.”
Taeyeon looked up and saw Tiffany was staring at her. She looked away after that.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 424/537
“Err…you can put it-“
“Please…put it on me.” Tiffany spoke cutting off the older girl.
Taeyeon was surprised. But at the same time she was glad that Tiffany did not
reject her. She took the box, opening it and took out the plaster.
Carefully, Taeyeon put the plaster against the bruise on Tiffanys knees. The
younger girl flinched at the contact while observing Taeyeon taking care of her.
Tiffany smiled seeing how carefully Taeyeon was. She was touched as the older
girl still concerned about her. Tiffany felt thankful towards Taeyeon.
“There. Done.” Taeyeon smiled at her work. She lif ted up her head and looked at
Tiffany who also had a smile shown on her face. Taeyeon got up, wanted to get
something from her desk.
“Thank you, TaeTae-ah.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 425/537
She stopped in her track.
‘TaeTae?
Taeyeon turned her head to see Tiffany to assure herself that she heard Tiffany was
calling her with ‘TaeTae earlier.
“Huh?”
Tiffany was caught. Her eyes went wide. She covered her mouth instantly. Inside,
she was cursing herself, calling herself a fool as she said it out loud.
After seeing Tiff anys reaction, Taeyeon was convinced that she heard it right. She
smiled widely. Taeyeon was so happy at that moment.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 426/537
‘So she still remember about it
“Hmm…do you want to eat lunch with me?” Taeyeon asked.
“Err…”
“But if youre already going out with Yuri, then I am fine.” Taeyeon suddenly
remembered about Yuri. She sighed.
“Well actually, Yuri is busy. So she was unable to eat lunch with me.”
“So…thats mean you can come with me, right?”
Tiffany nodded.
Taeyeon again smiled.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 427/537
“Lets go then.”
She grabbed Tiffanys hand as she was too excited at that moment. Tiffany was
again surprised with Taeyeons sudden action. But she did not release it as she was
also enjoying the moments she shared with Taeyeon.
‘Just like the past
Tiffany smiled at the thought.
…..
Taeyeon and Tiffany went to the hospital to visit Jessica. It was Taeyeons idea
and Tiffany just followed the girl. Tiffany just wants to spend her time with
Taeyeon alone. But it turned out that Taeyeon was thinking about Jessica. The fact
that Taeyeon was thinking about Jessica bothered Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 428/537
They walked silently. Taeyeon opened the door slowly, not wanting to create noise
for other patients. She was informed that Jessica has not woken up from yesterday
and so she decided to visit her personal assistant.
“Sica-yah~opens your eyes, please.”
They heard a womans voice.
“Its me, baby. Just…open your eyes for me, please.” The voice seemed familiar.
The two walked slowly, approaching Jessicas bed. They saw a woman sat beside
Jessica, watching the sleeping girl, not realizing the presence of the two.
Taeyeon tapped the woman on her shoulder.
“Y-Yuri?” Taeyeon was clearly surprised seeing the woman was actually Yuri.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 429/537
Tiffany took a closer look and the woman was definitely her fiancé, Kwon Yuri.
She noticed tears coming down from her fiancé. It made Tiffany confused.
“Whats going on here?” She cant help but to ask. Since yesterday, Yuri was
acting suspicious.
“T-Tiffany-ah.” She got up and wiped out her tears immediately.
“Why are you crying?” Tiffany took a step closer to Yuri, facing her fiancé.
‘Maybe it was time Yuri thought.
“Fany-ah…I am sorry.”
Tiffany frowned. Taeyeon can only watch from a far.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 430/537
“W-what is it?” She never saw Yuri acted like that. It made her nervous.
“There are so many things that I wanted to tell you. There are things that I kept
from you. I am sorry.” Yuri looked at the floor.
Tiffany held one of Yuris hands and brought her to the corner, away from
Taeyeon.
“Yuri-ah, youre scaring me. T-Tell me. What happened here? Why were you
crying earlier?”
Yuri lifted her head. The tears that she wanted to hide flowed as she looked
Tiffany.
“To tell you the truth, Jessica is, she is…actually…my…”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 431/537
They heard sobs and heavy breaths coming behind them.
“K -Kwon Y-Yul…”
“Sic-Sica-yah…”
……
Yuri lied to Tiffany. She did not go to work. She was actually staying in the
hospital to accompany Jessica. She was worried about the girls condition. She
simply prepared herself and soon went off to the hospital.
As soon as she arrived, Yuri sat on the chair, scooting closer to the bed. She then
took Jessicas hand and kissed it lovingly.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 432/537
“Sica-yah. Im here already, baby.”
She talked to the sleeping girl. Yuri got up and leaned forward. She kissed Jessica
on her forehead. She stayed like that for a while not realizing that she was wetting
Jessicas face with her own tears.
Yuri sat back, still holding Jessicas hand.
“Sica-yah, do you know that I am really worried about you, huh? You always
make me worried about you. Youre a bad girl, Sica-yah.”
Yuri rubbed Jessicas hair.
“Bad girl. Youre such a bad girl. Youre such…a b-bad g-girl.”
She started to sob.
“Youre so bad. We used to be together, we love each other so much but you cant
even remember me now. Youre…such a b- bad girl.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 433/537
Her heart felt like it wanted to explode as she recalled the past where she met
Jessica in Kims company without the girl even noticing and remembering her. It
hurt her so bad. She was so clueless about Jessicas condition. She thought Jessica
was cheating on her and that caused her to make a wrong move in agreeing for the
engagement.
“I-I did not know youre involved in accident. I didnt know. I swear I did not
know anything about it. I-If I know about it, I will surely come to you…like I used
to be and h-help you, Sica-yah.”
Her mouth was trembling.
“I am sorry because I thought youre cheating on me. I thought your love was all
lies. I-I am so sorry.”
She held her hand tight.
“When I knew your real condition, I cried so much. So much that it really hurts.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 434/537
Her tears dropped on Jessicas face again.
“Please come back to me, Sica. I-I beg you. I-I cant live without you.”
Yuri didnt realize that Jessicas fingers were moving.
“Sica…I love you.”
......
“Sica…I love you.”
“I love you too, Yuri-ah.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 435/537
‘I need to get up from this sleep. Yuris waiting for me
…..
Taeyeon kept her eyes on the couple. She did not realize Jessicas head were
moving, turning to the left and right. And soon after that, her eyes went wide
opened.
Jessica looked at her surroundings, blinking her eyes. She felt weak.
“Sica…I love you.”
She remembered.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 436/537
‘Yuri. My Kwon Yuri
Jessica got up slowly. She got off from the bed.
Taeyeon gasped as she finally saw Jessica was already awake. She called out her
name but was ignored. Taeyeon then approached Jessica and asked her to lie back
but again she was ignored. Instead, Jessica already got up from the bed.
“To tell you the truth, Jessica is, she is…actually…my…”
‘Thats her…my Yuri
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 437/537
Jessica walked slowly, approaching the tall girl. Her body felt weak and she could
fell anytime. But Jessica wanted to be strong and so she continued walking,
nearing her love. As she took a step forward, her tears slipped down her face and it
continued flowing.
“K -Kwon Y-Yul…” She called out weakly.
Yuri turned back as she heard a voice, calling her name. She gasped when she saw
Jessica who was looking pale, walking to her.
“Sic-Sica-yah…”
Yuri ran and caught the girl as she saw Jessica was about to fell down. Yuri caught
her body and hugged Jessica tightly.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 438/537
“Thank god, youre awake now.” She kissed her head.
Jessica pushed Yuri, wanting to see the girls face. She placed her two hands on
Yuris face, caressing it slowly and softly. Her breaths got shorter as she observed
Yuris face.
‘Yuri-ah…I miss you so much
“S-Seobang…My…My K -Kwon Yuri, my s-seobang…”
“…I remember you.”

Moments For Us
Kwon Yuri placed her hand on Jessicas waist, slowly moving, helping the girl to
sit back on the bed. She put a pillow behind the girl so she can rest her body
comfortably against it.
“Do you want to eat or drink anything?” She asked.
Jessica shook her head. She watched Yuri who was still standing up, purposelydoing something, perhaps trying to avoid her gaze. Jessica observed the younger
girl carefully and lovingly.
“Seobang-ah.” She called out while reaching out for Yuri. She grabbed her wrist,
immediately stopping the girl. It was obvious that the younger girl was surprised
with the sudden contact when she let out a gasp, making Jessica chuckled.
Two days had passed since Jessica gained back her memory. Yuri accompanied
Jessica since then. Only god knows how grateful and happy she was when she
knew Jessica had gained her memory. She made a promise to always accompany
Jessica no matter what. It was a miracle to know that the girl that she always
prayed for to remember her finally could recognize her. It was just beyond words
to describe her feelings. The day Jessica called her name not as a stranger but as
someone that she knew was a memorable day for Yuri.
She was crying of happiness till she forgot about her fiancée, Tiffany, who was left
speechless and clueless from the dramatic scenes. Yuri was too happy that she
didnt have time to fully explain Tiffany of what actually had happened between
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 440/537
her and Jessica. At the end, Tiffany left the hospital with and information that the
two were once in love and was about to engage. Tiffany did not get the full story.
She left with confusion and tears when she saw her fiancée was hugging another
girl whom she considered as her best friend and also someone that constantly made
her jealous and questions about her feelings towards Yuri. Her disappearance was
witnessed by another girl that faithfully loves her though the girl was getting hurt
for numerous times already. And the girl was Taeyeon, the one that Tiffany
developed her feelings for. Taeyeon was running to get Tiffany but failed as the
latter was faster than her.
“Yuri-ah?” Jessica called out once more.
“Huh? Sorry. I-I was just-“
“Come here.” She patted an empty space beside her. “Sit here, with me.” Jessica
ordered.
Yuri nodded and made a move. She was somehow feeling awkward around
Jessica. The latter giggled seeing how uneasy Yuri was.
“Dont like to sit with me? Feeling uncomfortable perhaps?” She looked at the girl
who already sat beside her.
“Oh. No no. Of course not. I was just…err…I…” Yuri rubbed her head.
“Its okay. It must be awkward. It has been a long time already. I understand you.”
Jessica patted Yuris hand.
Jessica breathed in deeply. The smelt of the hospital filled in her nose. She opened
her eyes. She looked out through the window. The sky was fine and clear, perfect
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 441/537
for a walk. She felt peaceful. Jessica smiled, feeling great on that day. She shifted
her head to see Yuri and saw the girl was biting her lips.
Again, Jessica let out a chuckle. Yuri looked at her after that. Their eyes locked
with each other. Yuri admires the face in front of her. She felt calm all of a sudden
by looking at Jessicas eyes. Her eyes told Yuri a story. And it was a story of love.
There is no doubt, the love that was shown through Jessicas eyes was the love that
is created between her and Jessica. Her heart flattered once again.
Yuri smiled at Jessica. She unconsciously let her eyes fall from Jessicas eyes and
it rested on her lips. Jessica noticed it. Unknowingly, her eyes were all set onYuris lips. Jessica gulped when she suddenly remembered how sweet and
passionate Yuri was when they were kissing. Her thoughts were cut when she felt
Yuri was already leaning closer to her. She felt her heart went wild as she noticed
that Yuris breathing rate was getting unstable.
Moving closer, slightly tilting her head so that her lips would fit perfectly against
Jessicas. Yuri closed her eyes. And so did Jessica. A smile formed on her face.
Yuri leaned closer. Her heart beats faster.
Jessica suddenly opened her eyes. She then made an unexpected move that startled
the younger girl. She brought her hands up and placed them on Yuris face. Jessica
leaned closer and gave Yuri a peck on her lips.
The younger girl opened her eyes as soon as she felt her face being cupped and
pulled in by Jessica. Soon, she felt a soft pair of lips was being pressed lightly
causing her eyes to widen. Then Jessica released her hands and moved back. The
kissing was ended so soon that it made Yuri felt disappointed. Nonetheless, Yuri
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 442/537
had to give in, not wanting to force Jessica. She unconsciously let out a sigh
making Jessica to hear it. Yuri looked away and pouted.
Jessica smiled for the umpteenth times seeing how Yuri behaved like that. She
forgot that the younger girl can easily get sulky.
Jessica took Yuris right hand and intertwined it with her left hand. She rested her
head on Yuris shoulder, closing her eyes and breathed in deeply. She stayed like
that, enjoying their moments.
“I miss you, Yuri-ah.” She held her hand tightly.
“I miss you so much. I am sorry, it took me quite a long time to remember you.”
Jessica opened her eyes.
Jessica turned her head and rested her chin on Yuris shoulder. Yuri also turned her
face to face the older girl. Their faces were just inches away. Her stomach flipped
seeing how close she was from Jessica.
“Say something.”
Yuri saw Jessica was looking at her lips.
‘Such a tease
“I miss you too. I miss you so much.” Her voice came as whisper.
Jessica then averted her eyes from the plump lips, looking at Yuris eyes again.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 443/537
“Why dont you tell me that were lovers?”
“I tried, many times. But it was futile.”
Jessica raised her eyebrows.
“Things always happened. And when I wanted to tell you, you will always be with
Taeyeon. I had no chance.”
“You should act fast. I might end up with Taeyeon, you know.” Jessica teased.
Yuri scrunched her eyebrows. She leaned back. “What do you mean?”
“I can feel that we share a mutual feeling.” She continued with the teasing.
“Dont tell me that-“
“I think we like each other.”
Yuri widened her eyes. She looked at Jessica, not believing what she just said. Of
course Yuri knows that Jessica likes Taeyeon but that was when she lost her
memory. And now she had gained her memory back, shouldnt Jessica get rid of
those feeling?
Yuri pouted and looked away.
“She is cute too.”
Yuri hissed as Jessica said those. Jessica smiled knowing that she had successfully
made her jealous.
“Hey, look here. Look at me, Yuri-ah.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 444/537
Yuri didnt reply nor doing anything. She made a mental note to meet and talk with
Taeyeon later.
Jessica giggled seeing how Yuri was so focus in her thoughts that she didnt notice
that she was practically waving her hand in front of the younger girl to get her
attention. Jessica finally placed her hand on Yuris face and turned the girl so that
Yuri was facing her again. Their faces came close again.
“Hey…” Jessica purposely whispered.
It made Yuri gulped. Her low and sexy voice made her racing thoughts to stop for
a while.
“Dont worry. If you asked me to choose between you and Taeyeon…”
Jessica tilted her head.
“It will definitely be you, Yuri-ah.”
With that, Jessica leaned in, closing the gap between her and Yuri. Jessica let out a
soft moan as their lips pressed and perfectly fit against each other. She closed her
eyes and moved her lips.
Yuri was surprised but soon, she also closed her eyes. Their lips moved in sync. A
spark formed as they kissed. They missed these feelings. Yuri bit Jessicas lower
lips causing the girl to again let out a soft moan for the great and wonderful
sensation. They took their time to savor the moments that they had waited and
missed so much. Jessica put her hand at the back of Yuris head, causing Yuri to
lean more to her.

The innocent kiss slowly…becoming a sweet passionate kiss for the two.

Realization
Minutes of searching, going all around the place, Taeyeon finally found an empty
space around the corner to park her car. She took the basket which contains
varieties of fruits on the next seat before she went out. Taeyeon fixed her hair
while thinking of what she needs to do once she stepped into the room to where
Jessica was located.
Purposely taking baby steps, Taeyeon took her time making her way into the
hospital. She took the lift, hesitated for a while whether it was a right thing to do,
to visit Jessica when she clearly knew that the other girl had just found about
herself and obviously needs time to digest and sort things out.
Taeyeon was drown in her thoughts that she didnt even realized that she was just
few meters away from Jessicas room.
She sighed.
‘It is not wrong to visit a friend, right?
Taeyeon inhaled deeply. She looked up. A frown visible on her face as her eyes
caught on something. Someone was standing outside the room, holding the door
knob, standing rooted in her place. She was wondering why the woman didnt justgo into the room but standing there, doing nothing. Taeyeon walked slowly
approaching the girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 447/537
Taeyeon brought her hand up. Her intention was to talk to her and ask her why she
was just standing outside the room but not going in. She was about to land her
hand on the womans shoulder when the woman suddenly turned around and
clumsily bumped into Taeyeon.
Gasps came out from the two, eyes widen when they meet each others eyes.
“Uhh… Taeyeon, Im s-sorry.” She stepped back, looking at the floor. “I didnt
see you.”
“Its okay, no worries.”
She rubbed her head, easing the pain. Taeyeon lifted her head slightly to see the
other girl who already had her eyes fixed on the floor.
“Why youre not going in?”
“I…”
Taeyeon saw the uneasy expression on her face.
“I dont know.”
Taeyeon felt guilty afterwards though she did not do anything wrong. She knew
what went on the girls mind.
Since Tiffany knew the truth about Jessica and Yuri, Taeyeon cant keep her mindstraight and was distracted while doing her works as she kept thinking of Tiffany.
She knew the younger girl was feeling hurt after knowing the truth. At one time
Taeyeon wanted to approach Tiffany and talk to her, comfort her but she was
thinking that she should not be involved knowing that she has no rights. In the end,
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 448/537
Taeyeon can only watched Tiffany from a far. She also noticed that Tiffany often
in her own thoughts, in her own world. She wanted to wipe away the tears that
unconsciously rolled down from the younger girls face and hug her but she cant.
She felt herself was futile as she cant do anything to comfort Tiffany.
It breaks Taeyeons heart to see Tiffany got hurt. She knew she cant blame anyone
in this case. A week had passed and she cant let another week to see Tiffany
getting hurt more.
Taeyeon brought her hand and placed it on Tiffanys arm, running her hand up and
down, rubbing Tiffanys arm as she felt pity for her.
“I know I have no rights to say this or I being smart but just listen to me first.”
Tiffany looked up and stared at her.
“It must be hard for you. I know youre getting hurt because of this. But at the end,
you need to meet and talk to her too, you know. You need to sort things out with
Yuri. You cant run, Tiffany. Because if you do, youll end up getting hurt more.”
Taeyeon looked away.
“And I dont want to see you hurt.” It came out as whisper but Tiffany can still
hear it.
Somehow Taeyeons words touched deep inside of her, making small part of her
feels relieved inside.
Tiffany sighed. She nodded. A small smile crept on her face, silently felt thankful
to Taeyeon.

“Come on. Lets go inside.”
Taeyeon knocked and opened the door. She stepped first then followed by Tiffany.
Their visit surprised the other two girls, especially Yuri.
…
“Is it really awkward?” Jessica eyed Taeyeon who cant sit still after Tiffany and
Yuri were going out.
Taeyeon looked at her. A smile was presented by Jessica. The younger girl tilted
her head. She saw the fruits that were given by the older girl.
“Ahh. I feel hungry.”
“Huh? Err…what do you want me to do?” Taeyeon got up.
“I want to eat those fruits.” She pointed out.
Being a good girl she is, Taeyeon quickly brought the basket with lots of fruits
inside and shown it to Jessica for the girl to choose herself. The younger girl
picked an apple. Taeyeon put back the basket on the table. She then returned back
to the chair and sit on it.
Jessica kept her eyes on Taeyeon. She missed the older girl. She missed teasing
her.
“W-why are you s-staring at me like that?” Taeyeon finally realized.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 450/537
Jessica who was in the bed threw away the blanket that was initially covered the
lower part of her body and scooted closer to Taeyeon. Her action surprised the
older girl.
She brought her hands up and cupped Taeyeons face. She caressed her face
lovingly. Taeyeon flinched feeling Jessicas cold hands on her face.
Taeyeon held her breath. This isnt right, she thought. Yuri will surely kill me.
“Hows work without me? Do you eat your lunch? Do you miss me?”
Taeyeon blinked her eyes. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but it
seems that something prevents her as nothing came out from her mouth.
“Haha. Youre still adorable, Taeyeonnie.”
Jessica leaned back.
“Why? Do you afraid of me?”
“What? Of course not.” She replied instantly.
“Then why youre all awkward with me? I am still me, you know. Difference is
just that, I got my memory back.”
Taeyeon can only nod.
“Tsk. Youre no fun. Here. Peel off the skin for me.” She gave the apple to
Taeyeon, ordering her now.
Taeyeon without complaining anything took the apple and started to peel off the
skin with the small knife.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 451/537
Silence filled in the room. The two didnt say anything.
“Things might be a bit different though.”
“Hm?”
“I found my true love.”
Taeyeon turned her head sensing that Jessica was not playing around this time. She
saw the girl was caressing something on her finger. She also noticed the wide smile
plastered on her face. Jessica then turned her head and stared at Taeyeon.
Jessica rose her right hand up, showing Taeyeon what she meant.
A ring.
…
“Im sorry.”
“Dont be. Its not your fault anyway.”
Tiffany asked Yuri to go with her for a while as she had something that she needs
to talk about, leaving Taeyeon and Jessica in the room. They went into the hospital
canteen, each ordering a cup of hot coffee. They havent touched their drinks yet as
both were tense, suddenly feeling awkward with each other.
“I didnt know it was her at first. She acts differently to me. I thought she did it on
purpose.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 452/537
Tiffany didnt say anything.
“The first time I saw her was when she ran to get Taeyeon when she saw
Taeyeons hands got cut. I didnt know that was her. Then the second time was
when I did my presentation about the proposal in the conference room. I
approached her just to confirm my doubts but it turned out that Jessica didnt really
know me. I was heartbroken. I thought she did it on purpose just to avoid me.”
Tiffany remained silence.
“I only knew that she lost her memory when one night I sent her to her house.
There, I met her sister, Krystal. She told me everything about Jessica. I only knew
the truth that night.”
“Then why you didnt tell me after that?”
Tiffany cant help but to ask as the younger girl didnt tell her the truth even after
she knew about it already.
“I am really sorry, Tiffany. I wanted to tell you too but I cant. We were just
engaged. I dont want to hurt you. I am sorry.”
The word engaged caused them to become silence. The two didnt know what to
say.
‘Youre already hurting me, Yuri-ah

“No words can describe how I f elt when you came into my life. The feeling of
happiness came back to me when youre around with me, Tiffany. I am very
thankful towards you for being able to take me as someone that you can lean and
trust.”
Tiffany felt her hot tears sliding down her face as she remembered the time that she
had shared with Yuri. She too felt thankful to the younger girl for making her
happy and for always being there when she was in blue, comforting her.
“I never regret knowing you. I really appreciate your presence in my life, Tiffany.
But…”
Tiffany was the first one to break their eye contact. She knew what ‘but means.
“I cant lie to myself, Tiffany. I had known Jessica for a long time. This fool is so
in love with Jessica. This heart is always missing Jessica since she was gone from
my sight. If the accident didnt occur, we were already married.” She mumbled the
last part.
Tiffany felt jealous.
“I didnt mean to hurt you. I knew I am such a mean and selfish person. Maybe I
am not really meant to be with you, Tiffany. You deserve someone thats much
better than me.”
A picture of smiling Taeyeon came in her mind.
“I-I am sorry, Tiffany. I hope, even after this, we can still be friends.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 455/537
Yuri inhaled deeply. Tiffany saw her took something from her pocket. Yuri took
Tiffanys hand and put the ring on her hand.
Tiffanys breath hitched.
“If you ask me to choose between you two…then Jessica is the answer.”
She got up, not wanting to see more tears coming from Tiffany as she felt the
intense guilty.
“Thank you for everything. Please forgive me. Im really sorry.”
Tiffany was left alone, staring at the ring. She knew it would happen. She just
refused to believe it. When it happened right in front of her eyes, it seems that the
world was becoming black. The world seems spinning slowly but surely. It made
her felt dizzy. Her breathing became heavy. Her cheeks were damped because of
the constant overflowing tears.
It made Tiffany realized of something, of reality. It hit her hard. She realized that
she was again…left alone.
Tiffany finally realized what Taeyeon felt all these time. And she knew it really
hurt so much. It felt like she was being stabbed. The thoughts of what she had done
to Taeyeon haunting her once again.
‘I felt like being stabbed. It feels like someone just killed me
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 456/537
She closed her eyes, letting a tear escaped.
‘Thats mean…I must have stabbed and killed Taeyeon for so many times
before…
“Im sorry, Taeyeon-ah. I have hurt you for so many times before. This feeling of
rejection really hurt me...so much.”
....

Hearts Beat Fast
She stared at the person who was standing in front, presenting her ideas about the
companys upcoming project. The woman had that satisfied smile visible on her
face after she had done presenting her ideas. The latter bowed for the last time after
receiving applauds from the other staffs before she walked and took her usual seat
in the conference room, beside Jessica.
‘Back then, that was where I usually sit
Tiffany eyed the couple who was officially engaged just a week ago. Yes, Yuri and
Jessica were finally engaged. And yes, Tiffany went to Yuri and Jessicas
engagement event. She even prepared a gift for the couple and congratulated them.
The happy couple in front of her somehow brought discomfort feelings within her.
Giggles and laughers from them caused her to move around her seat.
Hatred? Of course not. Jealousy? Perhaps.
Tiffany sighed.
She looked away and took out the documents in the file and read it. No, actually
she pretended to read it.
It was difficult at first to face the truth. It was very hard to keep her mind straight.
The sudden changes in her life brought a shock to her. She got distracted. Tiffany
was confused. And she was really bothered because she didnt know exactly what
made her confused and distracted.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 458/537
Is it because of the fact that Yuri and Jessica love each other? Well no.
To tell the truth, Tiffany was actually glad to see the couple is happy and that
theyre together. Of course at first she had her eyes red and swollen but it was only
for a few days. She realized that theres no use to cry when she knows that her
feelings for Yuri was not love.
It was not love when every time she sees Taeyeon.
So what actually bothered her till it made her felt worse and worse each day?
Tiffany feels guilty and she wanted to find the reasons why.
She let out a heavy sigh and put down the file on the table. She turned her head as
she felt someone was eyeing her movements. Tiffany caught Taeyeon looked away
as their eyes met for a brief seconds and the older girl planted her eyes on the
screen soon after that.
Not once but many times she had caught Taeyeon staring at her. But the older girl
would always turn away and avoided her gaze. Tiffany was not curious though.
She knew exactly the reasons behind Taeyeons every actions towards her.
Compared to the past, Taeyeon talks more often to Tiffany now. Every time she
meets the younger girl, Taeyeon would be the one that initiate the talks. She would
ask Tiffany to go out for lunch with her. She appreciate Taeyeons effort to
comfort and stay with her even for just a moment. Tiffany knows Taeyeon did all
that because she cared.
But thats it. The two will only talk when theyre just inside the company. They
never go out together or anything related to it. Taeyeon never texted Tiffany and
same goes to Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 459/537
Why?
Because their relationship is only based on boss and a worker. Friends? Well…the
two were actually confused about it. They themselves also had no idea whether
theyre friends or not because the two never ask to be friends or sorts. And that
causes the two to feel frustrated and hesitated. In short, they are just hopeless and
pathetic. Or to be correct, theyre just cowards who are afraid to reveal their
thoughts and most importantly their feelings for each other though it was actually
pretty obvious that the two wanted each other back.
….
They were on the set for a photo shoot for their new products. The staffs were
organizing and decorating the set. Taeyeon arrived late on the set as she had a
meeting that was schedule earlier. She was in a rush coming to the set and as soon
as she arrived, she approached Jessica and asked the girl to brief her again. She had
so much in her mind that she got confused with her works.
“Dont worry, Director Kim. Everything is going well for the first part. Now we
will proceed with the second part of the photo shoot.” Yuri stood beside Jessica
when she saw Taeyeon just arrived from her meeting, explaining her in details of
what had and would happen in the photo shoot as she was also had responsibility
and was in charge in the photo shoot.
“Good. Thank you for your hard work.” Taeyeon smiled at the couple and patted
Yuris shoulder. Her eyes then wondered around the set and at the same time
searching for a certain someone.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 461/537
Yuri smiled in victory. She took a seat near her fiancée and made a bro-fist action
with Jessica as a celebration. “My Seobang is smart.” A giggle came from the
couple.
“Tsk. You two are just noisy.”
Taeyeon also sat beside the couple and observed the place. She likes the set
decoration. The theme is white which symbolizes pure. White roses were
purposely scattered on the stage, covering it. Taeyeon loves it. The idea for the
theme was coming from the two that is so in love, sitting beside her.
“Director Kim.” Boom ran to her side. “I think we have a problem here.”
Taeyeon looked at the man who had worried expression on his face.
“What happened?” She stood almost immediately followed by the couple.
“The model for the photo shoots left as she just received a phone call saying that
her husband is involved in an accident. And she just left before we manage to stop
her.” Boom bit his finger, looking down at the floor afraid Taeyeon would scold
him.
“Well, it is an emergency. We cant stop her though. Hmm.”
Taeyeon was thinking for a while. She looked at Yuri and asked the girl, “Didnt
we have someone to replace the model?”
“I am afraid not.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 462/537
“We cant postpone the photo shoot for another day. It wil l cost a lot of money
then. If were looking for another model, I am afraid we have no time to finish the
photo shoot on time. What to do? What shall we do now?” Taeyeon sat back. She
was thinking for any possible ways to finish off the photo shoot.
Damn. For all the ways that she thought, she still needs a model to hold the
products because it looks more realistic with the presence of the model.
She was so in her thoughts that she didnt realize a figure was approaching her.
Taeyeon realized someone was standing beside her and so she looked up.
“I think I can replace the model.”
“T-Tiffany?”
She was indeed surprised of the younger girl sudden appearance. She can feel her
heart skipped a beat. No, not because of her offer. But because she just see Tiffany
after a week of not seeing her. Her heart missed the girl.
Taeyeon was about to open her mouth but Jessica beat her and said, “The problem
is settled then.”
….
Taeyeon sat alone, quietly looking at the model that was making different poses
and gestures for the photo shoot with the new product in her hand. Her eyes were
already fixed on Tiffany since the girl entered the set. Her appearance captured
many eyes. They were stunned witnessing how perfect and gorgeous she was in the
white dress. Her exposed collarbone made Taeyeon gulped her saliva. She cant
keep her eyes off from seeing how flawless her skin is.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 463/537
“You can at least shut your mouth. Staffs are looking.”
Taeyeon instantly closed her mouth and saw Jessica was standing beside her.
“Beautiful, isnt?”
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany again. A small smile crept on her face.
‘Of course. Shes always been
“She is.” Taeyeon didnt say more but agreed.
The older girl turned her head to look at Jessica as she believed she heard a
chuckle coming from her.
“Yes?”
“When someones in love, they didnt even realize what theyre actually saying.
Just like you.”
“What did I say wrong?” Taeyeon looked bewildered.
Jessica stood in front of Taeyeon and cupped her face. “Saying Tiffanys beautiful
is not wrong. But I am actually talking about the photo shoot.” She then walked
away leaving Taeyeon dumbfounded.
She glared at her personal assistant after realizing what Jessica meant.
“Damn.”
“Dont curse at my fiancée or I will do the same to you,” came Yuri with a file on
her hand, approaching the older girl.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 465/537
The door opened after a few knocks, revealing Taeyeon behind it. People in the
room greeted her and Taeyeon replied with smiles.
Tiffany saw Taeyeons reflection on the mirror. She stared at the older girl,
observing her every movement in the room while she had her make-up done.
Tiffany saw Taeyeon talked to one of the stylist and suddenly she felt jealous when
she saw the stylist touch Taeyeons face.
‘She didnt have to touch her face like that though
“Please close your eyes, Tiffany-shi,” said the make-up unnie.
Tiffany watched Taeyeon before she closed her eyes and silently cursed the stylist
who had fun talking with the older girl.
“You have a good skin.” The make-up unnie praised her.
Tiffany managed to smile and said thanks to her while her eyes were closed.
She didnt hear Taeyeons voice and so she thought the older girl had gone out
when she heard the door was opening and soon closing.
Tiffany cant also deny how she really missed Taeyeon. She was glad and excited
when she saw the presence of Taeyeon after she got back, buying the food for
lunch. She purposely took baby steps approaching Taeyeon after she heard they
needed a model for a replacement. Tiffany was contemplated at first to become a
model or not. She then made a decision and confronted Taeyeon after she saw the
one that she missed so badly was struggling in her thoughts searching for the
model.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 466/537
She realized the look of amazed shown on Taeyeons face once she stepped out
from the room for the photo shoot. She also realized the lovely eyes owned by the
older girl were all focused on her when the photo shoot was being done.
Thinking about it, Tiffany honestly feels a kind of relief inside. She didnt know
why and how to describe the reasons with words as it involves her feelings.
“You can open your eyes now.”
And with that she opened her eyes and looked at herself on the mirror after she
said thanks to the make-up unnie.
Tiffany gasped when she saw Taeyeon was standing just beside her, crossing her
arms, looking at her, with her body resting on the make-up table so her back was
facing the mirror.
“Oh, s-sorry. Did I scare you?” Taeyeon asked when she saw Tiffanys reaction
when the younger girl saw her.
“N-no. I was just surprised.”
Tiffany suddenly felt tense with Taeyeon watching her. It was uncomfortable and
uneasy for her to have someone looking at her like that. She was curious what the
older girl had in her mind and why she stayed in the room but not going out
instead. Not that Tiffany did not like it, but it was just embarrassing to have
someone watching you while you had your make-up done.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 467/537
“Min-ah, can you go out for a while? Boom is looking for you.” A male worker
called out the make-up unnie, leaving both Taeyeon and Tiffany in the room as the
other stylists had already left the room earlier.
Awkward and silence filled the room.
“Uhh...how was the meeting?” Tiffany finally spoke out. Taeyeon didnt expect
that was coming.
“So far it was good. Manager Park helped me a lot. It was tiring though. How
about you?” Taeyeon uncrossed her arms, eyes on the floor, unable to look at the
younger girl.
“Fine. Everything went well, I guess.” Tiffany was also in the same situation. She
was unable to look at Taeyeon.
The older girl nodded hearing the other girls answer.
Again, it was filled with silence. Both were trying to find something to talk.
“Did you eat your lunch when-”
“Is it hard-” Taeyeon was about to question the girl but Tiffany was faster than her.
“Ahh, yes. With Manager Park. For the entire week with him though.”
This time, it was Tiffanys turn to nod her head.
“You look beautiful, Tiffany.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 468/537
She sincerely said those when she met the other girls eyes. Finally, Taeyeon was
able to look at Tiffany.
“T-thank you.” She smiled. She can feel Taeyeons answer was honest when she
looked at the older girls eyes.
They stared at each other for a while, silently saying ‘I miss you behind the stare.
They broke the eye contact at the same time when they realized that they had
stared at each other for quite a long time. Taeyeon can hear her heart race. She
gulped her saliva hoping to calm down herself. Taeyeon started to walk around the
room. On the other hand, Tiffany shut her eyes and breathed in deeply to calm
herself.
Taeyeon noticed there was a necklace, sparkling from the other table. She caressed
it and took it out from the box. Taeyeon really admires the necklace. It looks
elegant.
Taeyeon turned to see Tiffany and noticed that Tiffany wasnt wearing any kind of
necklaces. She thought it would look good for the model to wear it.
“This looks nice, right?”
Tiffany looked up and saw Taeyeon showed her the sparkling necklace.
“Is it okay for you to wear it? I think it suits the theme too.” Her voice shows
excitement and Tiffany did not want to let down Taeyeons suggestion.
“Well, I am fine with it, I guess.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 469/537
Tiffany got up from her seat. She walked to Taeyeon and offered her hand. Her
action confused the older girl.
“Give it to me. I will wear it myself.”
“Oh. Here.”
Tiffany took the necklace from Taeyeon. She looked at it for a brief seconds and
tried to wear it after that.
Taeyeon noticed that Tiffany was struggling putting the necklace on and so she
mindlessly stepped forward and leaned to Tiffany.
“Let me help you.” Her voice was like a whisper. It brought chills to the younger
girl.
Tiffany gasped when their skin brushed each other as Taeyeon took the necklace
from her. Tiffany can hear her own heartbeat. She felt her face warmed when
Taeyeons body was in contact with hers. It may seem that Taeyeon was huggingher.
Tiffany closed her eyes.
On the other hand, Taeyeon didnt really realize what was actually happening. She
only realized it when she felt her body pressed against Tiffany when she tried to
hook up the necklace. She felt her body tense and she froze for a while.
Not wanting to make it looked more awkward between the two, Taeyeon hurriedly
hook up the necklace. When she managed to do it, Taeyeon instantly said, “There,
done.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 470/537
She said it a bit too early.
Tiffany who earlier had her eyes closed thought that Taeyeon was already moving
away from her as she can no longer feel Taeyeons warm body against her. But
Tiffany was wrong at that time.
She turned her head a bit slightly to the left and…at the same time, Taeyeon was
also trying to take a step back from the younger girl.
Their simultaneous movements caused their noses to brush and touch. The two had
their eyes wide opened.
But what made the two gets really surprised was when their lips touched, when
they decided to stop moving after their noses touched.
The two stayed and stared while their lips were still in touch. It seems that their
eyes told a story of each others feelings at that time.
The wants. The needs. The desire for each other.
The story of love.
Taeyeon then shifted her lips, trapping Tiffanys lower lip in between.
....
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 471/537
The Touch
Dilated eyes. Fluttering hearts. Rushing blood heightened all the senses.
Warm breaths against their lips.
Hearts beat erratically, they can hear it.
She slid her hands up and rested it on the girls shoulder . The younger girl
shuddered upon the touch. She can feel the older girl lightly squeezed her
shoulders.
Taeyeons soft and lovely eyes against hers weaken her knees.
They had stayed in that position for a while without making any movements,
allowing their lips to touch and feel each other.
So soft.
Taeyeon knew their feelings were mutual. The wants, the desire, the need of love.
She can feel Tiffanys shaky breaths and trembled body pressed against hers.
Taeyeon was determined to hold Tiffany until the end.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 472/537
She needed to make an action. It will be now or never. That was chanted on her
mind. Taeyeon needs to take an action first in order to start anew.
The hands that were initially rested on her shoulders slowly went down and rested
on her waist. Taeyeon brought Tiffanys body closer to her, not wanting to leave
any space between them. A quick intake of breath was coming from Tiffany. Due
to that, their lips were parted but only inches away from each other.
Tiffany searched for the onyx eyes and they were intensely stared at hers. She was
lost in those lovely eyes. Soon, she found out that Taeyeons eyes were going
down to her lips. She gulped when their eyes met once again. It seemed that the
older girl was asking for her permission.
Tiffany did not say anything.
She did not say anything and closed her eyes as Taeyeon tilted her head to the side.
For the second time, their lips touched and felt each other.
She was relieved when the younger girl did not reject or push her away.
Taeyeon then shifted her lips, trapping Tiffanys lower lip in between.
Her heart hammered as those soft lips moved sensually against hers. Tiffany
brought her hands up and wrapped around Taeyeons neck. She also tilted her
head, moving her lips tenderly, feeling the kiss.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 473/537
Oh, they really missed each other.
....
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 474/537
Won't Be Leaving
A smile crept over her face. She cannot hide her inner feelings upon the touch. She
can still feel the softness of her lips pressed against her plump ones. She did not
mind of her workers throwing weird looks at her unusual acts.
Her eyes were already looking down, unable to watch the younger girl who was
currently making poses for the photo shoot. Her cheek felt warmed when she
recalled back the moments where she and Tiffany shared an innocent kiss in the
room where they were left together a while back. If only Jessica did not interrupt…
“I am sorry to interrupt you and your thoughts, Director Kim, but my Yuri is
calling for you numerous times already. Can you please at least respond to her for
once?”
The older girl looked up to see Jessica who was now had one of her eyebrows
raised, seems like wanting to know what her boss was thinking of till she cant
hear Yuri was calling her earlier.
“W-what?”
She got Jessica rolling her eyes in return. “Never mind, Director Kim. Just notice
your surroundings.”
“I am, actually.”
“Youre obviously not. There, Yuri is calling for you.” She pointed at the other
girls direction.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 475/537
Taeyeon then turned away to face Yuri, not wanting to argue more with Jessica.
Her body was facing Yuri but her eyes were locked with a pair of familiar brown
eyes when she met them. She gulped down her saliva. She lost again in those
lovely eyes. Taeyeon noticed a small smile crept on Tiffanys face as their eyes
met.
“So, can we take a break, Director Kim?” Yuris voiced suddenly appeared beside
her that made her broke the eye contact. Taeyeon was back to her senses again.
“Huh. Another break? But why?” Taeyeon asked, now fully facing the tanned girl.
“I thought I already reasoned out just now.”
“Shes in another world. Guess what, I think you need to tell her once again.”
Jessica spoke up.
“But I already-“
“Shh. Okay, fine,” the older girl cut off. “Breaks for 15 minutes then continue withthe shooting.” She walked away from the two girls and wanted to head to a better
place from the couple when she heard Jessica mumbled something that made her
stopped in her track.
“Shes out of her mind since the kiss she shared with-“Jessica stopped when she
noticed Taeyeon was glaring at her.
“Its not like what youre thinking, okay. I was just helping her to put the necklace
and-”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 476/537
“And thats how it started. Aww…so sweet.” Jessica intertwined her hand with
Yuri and immediately walked away after she stuck her tongue out to the older girl
who already shot a deadly glare.
Taeyeon shook her head.
“Tsk. Those two. I think I need to rest my mind for a while.” And so she brought
her exhausted body to an unoccupied and isolated room, far from the others. She
was too exhausted that she didnt hear her worker, Boom, was calling her name.
The older girl rested her tired body on the couch, lying there, breathing lightly, and
recalling back the innocent kiss.
……
“Thank you for your hard work.” Tiffany bowed to everyone when the photo shoot
was officially ended. She flashed her eye smiles to her co-workers who threwcompliments for her professionalism in the photo shoot.
“That was great, Tiffany. I am sure everything will be just as planned.” Yuri stood
beside the model and caressed the other girls arm, silently telling Tiffany that she
did a good job.
“I hope for the best too. Thanks Yuri.”
At that moment, Jessica was coming towards the two girls and saw what Yuri did
to Tiffany. The tanned girl noticed the presence of her current fiancée and
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 477/537
immediately stopped her action, not wanting Jessica to misinterpret her doing
towards Tiffany.
“Tiffany, Min unnie is calling for you. Shes at the room where other stylist unnies
are resting,” the older girl out of the three spoke up after an awkward silence when
she came.
Tiffany nodded and excused herself.
Yuri eyed her fiancée who were flipping over a document. She stood behind
Jessica and wrapped her arms around her waist. “Youre not jealous, are you?”
“Hmm. Of course, I am not.” Jessica turned her head to look at Yuri. “I trust you,
Yuri-ah.” It came out almost like a whisper.
The younger girl smiled at her answer. “I trust you too, baby.” She pecked a kiss
on her cheek.
“Tsk. Others might look at us.”
“Let them be.”
Jessica turned her body fully to face her lover. “It is still early. Can we eat after
this? I am hungry.”
“Sure. Thats what in my mind actually.” Yuri fixed her hair. “Us, only the two of
us.”

The other workers were already packing up and some were already gone home.
Since the place for the photo shoot was quite far, Taeyeon had decided to rent a
bus for her workers. Tiffany was one of them who took the bus. She was already
changing her attire and was all ready to go home.
Her eyes wondered around as she packed her belongings for a certain someone.
She had not seen Taeyeon after the short break of the photo shoot. The last time
she saw the older girl was when the couple was teasing her. Tiffany started to
question the whereabouts of her boss. She did not know why but she really wanted
to see that lovely face and drown in her soft and soothing eyes.
“Did anyone see Director Kim?” Tiffany heard Jessica asked. She watched others
reacting to the question but unfortunately, her co-workers also had no idea where
on earth Taeyeon was.
“I saw her.” Booms answer somehow brought a glimpse of hope to Tiffany. “But
that time was when we had our short break before the shooting. I was calling for
her but she did not answer me and if Im not mistaken, she went out. I think
Director Kim had gone home. I dont see her car around too.”
Hearing his answer, a frown was visible on Tiffanys face.
“Hmm. Maybe she had something that cant be avoided. Well then, I guess lets
just go home, everybody. I am sure you guys are tired and exhausted. Pack up and
go home.” Jessica instructed everyone. She then walked to Tiffany and put her
hand on the other girls shoulder.
“Taeyeon is always busy. You can see her tomorrow, I guess. Cheer up, Tiffany.”
She patted the younger girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 479/537
“W-what? I-Im perfectly fine. Im just tired, I think.”
“Is that so?”
Tiffany nodded.
“Well, if thats the case, can you at least put a smile on your face? Because…Its
just too obvious that youre missing her already.”
…..
Tiffany went ahead to the bus. She put her bag on the seat next to her which also
means that she did not want anyone to sit beside her. Jessica told her that she was
going home with Yuri. Tiffany was invited by the couple to join a dinner with
them but she refused as she did not want to interrupt the couple.
Minutes passed by and almost all of the workers were already in the bus. Tiffany
was searching for her notebook and realized that she had left her notebook inside
the room where she had her make-up done. Not saying any words, she went downfrom the bus and ran lightly to get her notebook. When she walked inside, she
noticed that the place was already dark and cant really see things inside.
Tiffany used her phone as a source of light to get the way to the room where she
had left her notebook. She twisted the doorknob and rushed inside. Not long of
searching for the book, Tiffany finally found her book that she had placed on the
table. She grabbed it and went outside.
Tiffany put her hand on the front door handle and pulled it down. To her surprised,
the door was not opening. It was locked. She tried it again, with lots of effort this
time but still, the result was the same.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 480/537
The younger girl started to get panicked. She banged the door and shout for help
hoping someone could hear her scream.
“Anyone, open the door! Im still inside.” But no one heard her. They were too
exhausted to care for her shouts. “Jessica! Yuri!”
Her ear was planted against the door, trying to eavesdrop if anyone was near so
that she could ask for help. But what she heard terrified her. It was the sound of the
bus leaving the place.
Tears started to form. She banged the door louder this time and even shout as loud
for help. But still, no one was approaching.
The thoughts of being alone in the area with no lights frightened her. Her body
started to shook. She kneeled down and hid her face.
Her sobs then filled up the empty place.
…..
She was awake because of the noise. A lazy groan escaped from her. She rubbed
her eyes and slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust at her surroundings.
Taeyeon stretched her hand to grab her phone. Her eyes shot opened as she
realized that it was already 7 pm. She also realized that she had overslept when she
planned to take a nap at first.
Taeyeon got up from the couch and made her way to the door. She went outside,
walked to the set and found that no one was there. At that time, Taeyeon knew that
everyone had gone home already, leaving herself alone. She sighed as no one

Taeyeon who was just across the younger girl heard the shaken voice. After she
had convinced herself that there was also another person inside the building, she
slowly approached the person who was sitting around the corner.
“Who a-are you?” Tiffany started to get up.
Taeyeon thought she knew that voice. She might be sleepy but she was sure that it
was Tiffanys voice and that she was not mistaken.
“P-Please dont do anything to me.”
Taeyeon was convinced that it was indeed Tiffany. Questions started to fill up her
mind to why the younger girl was there in the building when everyone was already
gone. Taeyeon however decided to ignore that for a moment and get Tiffany in her
arms right there.
Tiffany was scared as she could see a shadow was approaching her. The sound of quicken footsteps almost made her heart to jump out. Tiffany closed her eyes and
covered her face with both of her hands. Tears were overflowing as she can sense
someone was standing in front of her.
She prayed for her life.
Taeyeon touched Tiffanys cold hands which made the younger girl gasped loudly.
“Please….”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 483/537
“Its me, Fany-ah.”
As soon as her heard that soothing voice, Tiffany opened her eyes and met
Taeyeons concerned eyes. She felt relief and thankful to see the person in front of
her was Taeyeon.
“Are you okay, Fany-ah?” Taeyeon was getting worried as Tiffany didnt say
anything yet. “Did you get hurt?” Taeyeon touched her face. She wiped away those
tears with her thumbs.
Tiffany can only stare at Taeyeon at that time. She was out of words.
The older girl intertwined her hand with Tiffany as she knew the latter was scared
at that time. Facing away from the younger girl, still holding her hand, Taeyeon
decided to guide Tiffany out from the place.
“Come here then. Lets get out and then we can-“
But Taeyeon then felt her body was being spun around and soon after that, a warm
body was pressed against hers. Tiffanys arms were already wrapped around her
body. Taeyeon held her breath.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 484/537
“I-I was scared. I thought I was left alone here.” Tiffany was sobbing again. The
hug became tightened. She did not want to lose the older girl. She hid her face and
let her tears flowed on Taeyeons shoulder.
Taeyeon then also wrapped her arms around the younger girl, bringing her body
closer to hers. She rubbed her back gently trying to make the younger girl calm
down from her cries.
“Shh. Im here. Stop crying. I wont leave you.”
Her words touched deep inside of her. Tiffany felt loved again.
“I wont leave you anymore, Fany-ah.” She whispered to her ear.

If Only You Knew
“Do you want to take a walk?” The younger girl looked at the other girl while
pointing out at the riverside walk.
Her eyes wondered at the place and soon after that, a smile formed on her flawless
face. “Sure. Since its still early anyway.”
The two then made their way to the riverside, walking hand in hand, and feeling soblessed at that moment. They were drowned in their thoughts, remembering back
the old times when they used to go at that place. Laughter, pain and tears, they
shared them all at that place. Lots of things had happened in the past and that place
holds special memories between the two.
The younger girl purposely led the other girl to take a sit further from anyone
where they could witness the slow moving but peaceful river view in front of them.
“Its nice, isnt?”
She nodded. “It feels so refreshing here.” She faced the other girl. “It brings back
memories, right?”
“Yeah. We used to go here in the weekend. I missed all those moments, Yuri-ah.”
“Me too.” Yuri leaned back. “But dont worry. Well go here often after this.”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 487/537
“I love you, Sica-ah.”
She opened her eyes and met Yuris intense yet lovely ones. Jessica held Yuris
hand that was initially cupping her face. She slowly led Yuris hand in front of her
lips, still locking her eyes with the younger ones. Jessica kissed her hand, causing
the owner to hold her breath for a moment.
“I love you too, Yuri-ah. I love you so much.”
She then leaned forward and landed her plump lips on Yuris for a brief seconds.
Yuri was unable to react and was surprised with Jessicas bold action. But
nonetheless, she loved it.
Yuri kissed Jessicas upper lip before she shifted to her lower lip, trapping it
between her lips. She sucked on her lips and earned a moan from the older girl.
The kiss was sweet and innocent. Yuri felt satisfied and was the first one to pull
away. She was about to say something when Jessica put a hand at the back of her
neck and pulled her in for another long and passionate kiss.
It was her turn to moan when she felt Jessicas tounge on her lips.
…..
“Ive called Manager Park. He will help us to get out from this place.”
The latter did not say anything but nodded. Her tears had dried up a while ago.
Taeyeon led the younger girl to sit on the stage where the photo shoots were taken.
She took a seat not too far away from Tiffany.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 488/537
Taeyeon watched the other girl who had her head lowered and somehow she felt
pitied for her. Seeing Tiffany drowned in tears earlier brought stings to her heart.
When Tiffany suddenly embraced her, Taeyeon can feel the younger girls body
was trembling in fear. Thus, Taeyeon was determined to protect the girl with all
her might.
Curious of what the other girl was doing, Tiffany raised her head and turned to
look at Taeyeon. Her eyes meet with a pair of lovely onyx eyes which seemed to
stare her for a while already.
Taeyeon was caught. She looked away and cursed under her breath for gettingcaught. Her action made the younger girl smiled as she could hear what her boss
was mumbling under her breath as she turned around.
Not wanting to make it awkward, Tiffany cleared her throat and spoke up.
“Where did you go after the break? Boom said youre going home already.”
Taeyeon faced Tiffany as soon as she heard the girls voice.
“Huh? I did not. I was tired and decided to take a nap in the room just around the
corner. But I overslept.”
“You must be really tired then.”
“Yeah.”
And it went silent again. Taeyeon played with her fingers, brain was working to
find something to talk to the younger girl as she did not want their conversation to
end just like that.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 489/537
Taeyeon took a peek at the girl beside her before she opened her mouth. “Hmm. So
why were you still in the building earlier? Did they purposely lock the door and
leave you behind?”
“Ah. Its not lik e that. I was already inside the bus when I realized that I left my
notebook. And so I went down to get it. When I tried to open the front door, I
noticed it was locked and I could hear the bus was leaving the place. I shouted for
help but no one heard me.”
“Oh. No wonder I can hear someone was screaming in my sleep.”
“Err. Yeah. Sorry for that.” Tiffany looked down in embarrassment.
“No, you shouldnt be. Thanks to you that I was awake. If not, I might be sleeping
till tomorrow and miss my meeting.” She smiled. “Manager Park would scold me
then.” She chuckled.
Tiffany watched Taeyeon and cant help but smiled seeing how the girl beside her
suddenly let out her weird way of laughing, kind of how the oldies laugh.
“It seems that youre really close with Manager Park. He always comes to help
you.”
“Ah, yes. He had helped me a lot.”
“I can see that.”
Taeyeon leaned back, both of her hands were supporting her body.
“He is like a father to me. In times of blues and happiness, he will always there
besides me. And Im really thankful for that.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 490/537
Tiffany was just listening while nodding her head.
“Honestly, I rely on him a lot when compared to my father.” That made Tiffany to
look at the older girl. “I feel so safe to share my stories and problems with
Manager Park. I dont know why. I guess because of his ability to deliver good and
wise words to me. Hearing his advices always makes me feel motivated and I get
the strength. Sometimes I feel bad because he is still working under my family
when he is supposed to spare his time with his family.”
Hearing what just came out from Taeyeon made Tiffany think about her
relationship with her father, Mr. Kim. She rarely heard the older girl talk about thechairman of the company.
“I rarely hear you talk about your father.” Tiffany was curious. Even when she was
in a relationship with Taeyeon, Taeyeon didnt really talk about her father.
The older girl sighed as the thoughts of her father clouding her mind. Her
shoulders slumped forward in disappointment-that was what Tiffany could see.
“Its okay though if you dont want to talk about it. Just ignore what I just said.”
Tiffany stopped Taeyeon before she could open her mouth seeing how
uncomfortable the girl was.
“Im fine actually. Its just that we are not that close anymore.” She sighed.
“He was too busy with the company. Too busy that he cant accompany mom
when she was sick. I blamed him when mom let out her last breath because he was
not beside her. It hurt me a lot. The fact that his job was more important than
anything else really hurt me a lot. I moved out and since then, we did not really
communicate with each other.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 491/537
The older girl breathed in deeply.
“As much as I want to run away from him, I still cant erase moms last words to
always listen to him. One day, he asked me to take over the company. I refused at
first. I knew he will ask me to take over the company when the time came and
honestly, I was preparing myself for it. But the timing was not right as I had
something already planned for my life. I was trapped as I need to choose. I need to
make a decision. At that time I had a lot of things in my mind, thinking the future
of the company and also the future of my own life.”
The memory of her on her knees, begging to her father to at least listen to what shewants in life, rolled in her mind. She was not given a chance to decide. Everything
had been decided by the old man. She had no words to protest but to obey her
father.
It was the day where she was asked to choose between the two; to obey her father
and run the company or to walk out from his life which also meant that she did not
keep her promise with her mom to listen to her father. Those were the choices and
Taeyeon decided to choose the first option.
She was saddened by the fact that her father was so heartless that only thinks about
his business but not his own daughter and so Taeyeon decided to open up and tell
Tiffany about the old man and his company.
But everything didnt go as planned. Taeyeon noticed something was not right as
soon as she stepped into the house that she shared with Tiffany. She was greeted
with the girl sitting on the couch with both of her arms crossed on her chest.
Taeyeon sat just beside the girl and was about to tell Tiffany about what his father
had prepared for her when Tiffanys words surprised her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 492/537
“Choose. Me or your job?”
That was when she knew, not only she had lost her father but also the one that she
loves the most, Tiffany.
Taeyeon cant erase that one particular day where she had lost everything
including herself, just in one day.
Tiffany who noticed the slight changed in Taeyeons tone, searched for the older
girls eyes. She can see her eyes were filled with tears that threatened to fall in
anytime. Tiffany was confused with the sudden change and wanted to stop
Taeyeon from further talking about her father but her mouth was sealed.
Tiffany scooted closer to Taeyeon and was all ready to take Taeyeon in her arms.
She rubbed Taeyeons back wanting to give her a comfort.
Tiffanys touch brought her back to reality. She looked away and wiped away her
tears that secretly fall.
“Im sorry. I turn emotional and all just by talking about him.”
“Its okay. I dont mind if you want to talk more. I am here all ready to listen.”
Taeyeon shook her head and smiled afterwards, indicating that she did not want to
talk about it again. Tiffany then changed the topic of their conversation as she felt
guilty because it was her that asked in the first place.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 493/537
They continued talking about things and shared laughter in between. Taeyeon felt
good being with Tiffany. She missed the old times where they used to share stories
just to fill up their nights. Taeyeon felt relieved that Tiffany was not awkward with
her.
“Remember the time when Boom wanted to pull prank on Jessica by putting the
wasabi on the sandwich?”
“Yeah.”
“And Yuri who saw what he did forced him to eat it instead as his punishment.”
“Hmm.”
“I saw his expression and it was seriously funny. I wanted to burst out laughing but
seeing how Jessica was giving her icy glare caused me to just shut up and-“
She stopped when she felt a weight on her shoulder. Taeyeon turned her head and
realized Tiffany was falling asleep on her shoulder. She was frozen at first she did
not know what to do.
Taeyeon positioned herself so that Tiffanys head was resting comfortably on her
shoulder. She watched the sleeping girl, silently admiring the face. Taeyeon
carefully caressed her cheeks, pushed her bangs aside to fully look at her sleeping
face.
“Youre so beautiful even when you sleep, do you know that?” She whispered. “I
bet you didnt know that.” And chuckled afterwards for talking to the sleeping girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 494/537
Taeyeon leaned back on the wall and rested her body.
“Fany-ah, there are so many things that you didnt know. If you know what
actually happened in the past, probably we will be married now you will stay
beside me, in my arms, just like now.”
Tiffanys scent invaded her nose, bringing back the past memories. Taeyeon
inhaled her hair and kissed it.
“Remember the last day when you walked out of my life? It really hurt me a lot,
Fany-ah. If only you didnt ask me to choose. You just left without listening to my
explanation. Instead you chose to break up with me when my heart was totally
against it.”
What Taeyeon didnt notice was the pair of eyes that were already opened since
she landed her lips on her head.
“At that time I was thinking that maybe you were not happy living with me and so
you make me to choose. If you can still remember, I didnt even make my choice,
Fany-ah. But you still walked away and left me at the end.”
Taeyeons words made Tiffany realized one thing, Taeyeon in fact did not choose
between her or her job. But what made her walked away at that time?
It was simply because Taeyeon cannot choose between the two.
“I cant choose. I just cant. It was not because my job is more important to me. If
you really want the answer, even with so many options you gave to me, I will
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 495/537
choose you, Tiffany. No doubts, certainly I will choose you over anything else. I
love you, Fany-ah. If only you knew…”
Taeyeon inhaled deeply.
“And I still love you, Tiffany. Even though you asked me not to.”
…..
Her heart started to beat as realization hit her like a tones of bricks. Her eyes were
already brimming in tears but she held it. She wanted to cry. Taeyeon did nothing
wrong. She made a mistake and she was the reason to why they broke up.
‘So all of these while, it was my mistake. I had misjudged Taeyeon
“Tiffany-ah.” Taeyeon called out softly, when the front door opened.
The called girl did not respond. She was afraid if Taeyeon noticed her tears.
Taeyeon placed her hand on Tiffanys shoulder and lightly squeezed it. “Fany-ah,
wake up. Manager Park is here.”
Tiffany pretended that she just woke up. She placed both her hands on her face and
secretly wiped away her tears. She looked at Taeyeon who offered her hand. It
took her some time to hold that hand.
“Seems that you have a good sleep. Sorry though I have to wake you up.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 496/537
The two then walked out from the building. Manager Park left the two as soon they
were coming out as Mr. Kim was calling him. Taeyeon can only sigh as she pitied
the man that just helped her to get out from the building. The older girl walked in
front and Tiffany followed behind.
Tiffany then realized that Taeyeon was not using her car but instead the sight of
her motorbike greeted her.
“Here, take this.” Taeyeon offered the helmet. “Ill take you home. Its already
late, not good to take the cab.”
Tiffany said nothing and took the helmet. A smile formed across Taeyeons face
when she saw Tiffany was struggling wearing the helmet. She then helped the
younger girl which only made the younger girl fluttered inside. Their eyes met.
Taeyeon looked away as she was not sure if she could handle her feelings at that
moment. Not after when she confessed about what happened in the past when the
girl was sleeping.
“Lets go.”
It was her first time riding the bike with Tiffany behind. The cold air brushed off
her worries. The calm night brought peaceful within her heart. Taeyeon felt hands
wrapped around her waist. She felt Tiffany was leaning on her back. Taeyeon felt
more than happy at that time to have the girl that she loves hugging her behind.
On the other hand, while Taeyeon was all happy and smiling, Tiffany behind was
letting her tears out. She wanted to run into Taeyeon and hug her all night but
control herself when the girl walked in front earlier. She wanted to say sorry to the
older girl but she cant bring herself to that. At the thought of Taeyeon suffering all
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 497/537
alone, her heart ripped apart. Tiffany tightened her hold on Taeyeons waist,
silently saying sorry for all the mistakes that she done.
….
The two decided to stop at one of the food stalls along the street as both had
nothing in their stomach since lunch. Taeyeons stomach was already growling and
she was drooling at the smell of varieties of food in front of her.
“Taeyeon-ah, do you mind if I drink?”
....
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 498/537
I Love You
“I should have stopped you earlier. Now youre drunk already.”
Her eyebrows furrowed at the sight of the helpless younger girl. Taeyeon walked
to Tiffany and helped her to get up. She decided to walk the drunken girl to her
house since it was not far from the food stalls.
Realizing that Tiffany cant even walk properly on her own, Taeyeon decided topiggyback the girl. She shook her head but she did not complain. In fact, she liked
it. She was feeling that she needs to protect the younger girl more.
“Why do you drink so much, huh?”
Taeyeon received mumbled from Tiffany. She chuckled as she finds drunken
Tiffany was cute.
“Tae…” Her name was called. Heavy breaths were slapping against her ear.
Taeyeon shifted her head slightly to the right. “Yes?”
But she received no response.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 499/537
“Fany?”
“Hmm.”
“Just sleep then, I will wake you up when we arrived.”
Her phone suddenly rang and she had to stop at the nearest bench to put Tiffany
down. She took out her phone and sat beside the younger girl allowing the latter to
rest her head on her shoulder.
“Yes, Manager Park.”
Taeyeon felt the other girl moved in her seat. Not wanting Tiffany to fell from the
bench, Taeyeon put her right arm over Tiffanys shoulder, keeping the girl in her
seat.
“So the meeting is cancelled tomorrow? Okay. I get it. Thank you for informing
me. Yeah. See you.”
She put her phone back and was ready to continue walking back to Tiffanys home.
Taeyeon was about to get up when her hand was gripped and she was pulled down.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 500/537
“What-“
“Taeyeon-ah…”
She had no choice but to sit beside Tiffany.
“Tiffany, are you okay?”
“Sit...here…with…me…please.”
The younger girls eyes were closed. It made Taeyeon wonder if Tiffany was sleep
talking or it was just the effect of the alcoholic drink.
“It is cold here, Fany-ah. Besides, youre drunk. Come on, Ill carry you on my
back.”
A tug on her right hand made her stop from getting up yet again. Taeyeon looked
at Tiffany.
“You...keep saying that...I am drunk. Hic.” A pair of drowsy eyes staring back at
Taeyeon. “I am not…drunk…TaeTae-ah.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 501/537
TaeTae.
It was the second time she heard Tiffany called her with that name. Her cheeks
were blushed, lips were pouting. Taeyeon smiled at the sight of Tiffany.
“Tiffany-ah.”
“Yes, TaeTae.” Tiffany leaned closer to Taeyeon, her chin rested on the older
girls shoulder.
Taeyeon had to hold her breath for the sudden mere gap. Their noses were almost
touching. She found herself staring deeply at Tiffanys eyes.
Body went tense. She shuddered. Not because of the cold night air.
“Fany-ah, we need to-“
“Shh.”
A finger pressed on her lips, shutting her mouth.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 502/537
Heart started to hammer.
Taeyeon was trapped in the staring contest.
She wanted to look away, to step back from the staring contest.
But her intention vanished when Tiffany whispered to her ear.
“I am falling in love with you, Taeyeon.”
Their noses finally touched.
A pair of soft lips brushed against Taeyeons cold ones.
“I love you so much Taeyeon-ah.”
….
Did Tiffany really mean it? Was that a confession?
Those questions lingered in her mind. She ended up smiling remembering how
Tiffany said those words to her not once but twice. Her heart fluttered as Tiffany
mentioned love to her.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 503/537
Her mind was still in daze from the kiss. Taeyeon kept recalling back how
Tiffanys soft lips pressed against hers, how her lips were nibbled and molded by
Tiffany.
The feeling was heavenly.
As much as she wanted to taste Tiffanys lips, Taeyeon knew what they were doing
at that time was wrong. Allowing her to be kissed and returning the kiss means that
she was just taking advantage over the drunken girl.
Taeyeon was having a hard time carrying Tiffany on her back when the latter was
moving a lot. Tiffany was not listening to her and was saying incoherent words in
return.
Taeyeon took out the house key from the younger girls purse and insert it into the
key hole. She was only succeeds at the third try.
Taeyeon sighed as she made her way inside the house.
“I thought you have a high tolerance of those drinks. Guess I am wrong.”
As she was all exhausted from carrying her secretary, Taeyeon decided to put
down Tiffany on the couch first. She got up and did some stretching before she
made her way to the kitchen, gulping down the cold water to quench her thirst.

Taeyeon returned back to the living room and walked to the already sleeping girl
on the couch. She took off Tiffanys heels carefully not wanting to wake the girl
up. She went to the corner of the living room and put the heels aside.
Her eyes caught on the photo frames assembled nicely on one of the furniture. She
had seen those pictures before when Tiffany invited her inside to prepare some
food as she had gastritis.
Taeyeon walked slowly to the photo frames and noticed pictures of Tiffany
together with Yuri were no longer there to be displayed. Instead, it was all replaced
with only Tiffanys picture.
She was somehow feeling sympathy at the girl knowing that it must hurt the girl to
remove all her pictures with her ex-fiancée.
Taeyeon sighed at the thought.
…
Taeyeon put Tiffany down on the mattress, resting Tiffanys head on the pillow
gently. She extended her hand to get the remote control on the table just beside the
bed. She pressed a button which soon makes the air conditioner turned alive.
The clock stuck at 11. Taeyeon heaved a sigh. She needs to go home, she thought.
Her eyes landed on the sleeping girl yet again. A frown on her face faded and
replaced with a smile at the sight of the sleeping girl.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 505/537
“Beautiful.” She said unconsciously what was on her mind. “Youre so beautiful,
Miyoung-ah.”
She chuckled after finding herself praising the sleeping girl.
The older girl decided to spend a few more minutes observing Tiffanys sleeping
face. Her hand brushed the hair that was covering Tiffanys flawless face.
“I love you so much Taeyeon-ah.”
Tiffanys sudden confession flashed in her mind.
“Fany-ah. Did you really mean it when you say you love me? Since youre drunk,
it kind of makes me confuse.”
She traced Tiffanys face softly.
“But honestly Fany-ah, I really hope you mean it when you said those to me.
Because I also feel the same, I love you. I really love you so much.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 506/537
Her thumb stopped at a pair of soft lips. She brushed it gently feeling the soft lips
against her skin.
The more she stared at those lips, the more she found herself leaning closer to it.
Taeyeon was surprised when she realized that she was just few inches away from
Tiffany.
Her heart started to speed up, taking its pace.
She wanted it, she wanted to taste those luscious lips. Her heart was yearning for it.
Taeyeon closed her eyes, moving slowly though hesitantly, lessening the existence
gap between her and Tiffany.
Sparks of excitement filled up her whole body as her quiver lips lightly pressed
against Tiffanys soft and cold ones. She didnt move and stay for a while.
Through the kiss, she can feel joy and happiness. No words can describe how right
she was feeling at that time. It was like she was on the cloud nine.
Through the short kiss also, Taeyeon was suddenly feeling guilty when she just
realized what she had done. She was taking an advantage of the unconscious
Tiffany.
What have I done?
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 507/537
She started to blame and curse herself for her mindless action.
Taeyeon hurriedly got up and decided to walk out from the room when she feel a
strong grip on her wrist, pulling her down back to the mattress.
She turned her head ad gasped when she meet with Tiffanys eyes.
“T-Tiffany, youre a-awake.”
Her head was in a race to come up with explanations for what she had just done.
“I-I am sorry. I was not thinking. I was not in my right mind when I did that. I-“
Tiffany sudden back hug made Taeyeon instantly stop from saying more. The
younger girl rested her chin on Taeyeons shoulder just like what she did when
they were sitting on the bench earlier that night. Her arms wrapped around
Taeyeons waist.
“I am not drunk, Taeyeon-ah. I heard you. I was also not sleeping when we were
trapped inside the building. I heard all of it.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 508/537
Taeyeon felt her body went tense as Tiffany touched her face, forcing her to face
the younger girl completely. It was like a déjà vu. Taeyeon had to hold her breath.
“You have gone through a lot just to win my heart back and yet, all those time, I
had my eyes on other people. I had misjudged you and I asked you to choose
between me and your job. I was such an idiot back then.”
Tiffany kissed Taeyeons cheek.
Once. Twice.
“It was my mistake for us to get separated and you get hurt all the time, because of
me. It was all my mistakes. The fact that you still love me when I am not yours
makes me think that I am totally a fool for breaking up with you, for leaving you,
Taeyeon-ah. I am sorry. Please forgive me.”
“I…I had forgiven you a long time ago.”
Tiffanys heart touched at the sincerity.
“I love you, Taeyeon-ah. I really love you. I really mean it.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 509/537
Taeyeon wanted to cry as she was finally able to hear it from Tiffany.
She was feeling overwhelmed. All emotions rushed, flooding her heart and her
mind.
“I love you too, Tiffany.” A tear escaped. “I really love you with all my heart.”
Tiffany felt relieved as she can finally able to confess her true feeling towards
Taeyeon. She buried her face on Taeyeons neck, taking her scent. Tiffany
tightened the hug. She was happy.
No.
She was beyond happy.
Tiffany showered kisses on Taeyeons neck, causing Taeyeon to gasp, making her
breathless. Tiffany started to bite the soft flesh, nibbling it with her teeth, making it
hard for the older girl to catch her breathe.
“Fany-ah, ughh…” Her eyes rolled back.

A Real Happiness
The sound of her phone alarm woke her up from her deep sleep. She reached for
her phone, turned off the alarm and flopped back to the mattress.
She groaned in frustration when her phone rang, leaving her with no choice but to
get her phone again.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the name on the screen.
“Hey.” Her voice cracked earning a chuckle from the other person.
“Hi. Morning. I am actually outside of your apartment, can you open the door?”
“W-what?” Her eyes went wide.
“Just open the door. Im tired of waiting here.”
The still sleepy girl had no choice but to bring her tired body towards the front
door to welcome the other girl.
“Oh. Wow. Youre still sleeping. I thought you were awake already. Sorry.”
“Its okay. It is time to get up anyway.” She let the door close once the other girl
entered her apartment.
Since it was the first time Tiffany visited her apartment after they got together two
weeks ago, Taeyeon was not sure how to serve the girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 512/537
“Your apartment is nice. Big. I like it.” She looked at Taeyeon.
“It is not that big actually but thanks.” Taeyeon beamed a smile.
Tiffany seated on the couch and watched the older girl who was standing not far
from where she was seated. She noticed the puffy eyes and approached Taeyeon.
Tiffany chuckled at the sight of Taeyeon yawning while rubbing her eyes. Her
ghostly appearance shocked the older girl.
Taeyeon let out a gasp.
“W-what?” She was not comfortable being watched by Tiffany.
“What happened to your eyes?”
“I was sleeping late last night.”
“What were you doing?”
“Need to check the paperwork for the next project.”
“But this is not an office, Taeyeon-ah.”
“I know. I just wanted to make sure.”
“You have been working too much, Taeyeon-ah. I honestly do not like it.”
“I know. You have been nagging at me. I will not do it anymore, okay.” Taeyeon
walked away from Tiffany when she saw the girl was about to open her mouth and
went to the kitchen. “What do you want to drink?”
Tiffany did not respond.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 513/537
“Fany?”
“Anything will do.”
Taeyeon came back with a glass of orange juice in her hand. She gave it to the
younger girl and sat beside her on the couch.
“Thanks.”
“Why are you coming this early?”
Tiffany placed the glass on the table. “Why? You do not want me to come? Do you
have something that you hide from me?” Her eyes suddenly wondered at the
apartment.
“Wha-? Of course thats not what I mean.” Taeyeon intertwined their hands.
Tiffany rested her head on Taeyeons shoulder.
“Then?”
“I mean, you could have told me earlier. So that I can prepare myself.”
“There is really nothing to prepare, Taeyeon-ah.” She placed her hand on the girls
cheek and made Taeyeon faced her. “I accept you, everything about you.” It came
out as a whisper which suddenly brought shiver down her spine.
Taeyeon held her breath. Tiffany let her thumb caressing her face and the younger
girl ended up with brushing Taeyeons plump lips.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 514/537
Taeyeon was clenching her fist, controlling herself from touching Tiffanys lips
with her own. The younger girl surely knows how to tease her.
“Never thought that I would have a chance to see you wearing this cutie pajamas,
Director Kim.” Tiffany giggled afterwards.
“Y-yah.” She pouted. “Youre ruining the moment.” She mumbled and looked
away from Tiffany.
The younger girl raised her eyebrow.
“What moment?”
“N- Nothing.”
She found the older girl was really adorable that she feels she wanted to pounce on
her.
Tiffany cannot stand watching that pout and so she once again made Taeyeon face
her.
“What moment do you expect, TaeTae-ah.” Her eyes trailed down to those pouting
lips. “Ah. Do you mean, this moment?”
She leaned closer and let her lips kissed Taeyeon. Tiffany let the kiss linger for a
bit longer than she intended to do when she found herself loving how Taeyeon
trapped her lower lips and nibbled them gently.
“T-Tae.” Tiffany pushed Taeyeon. “Do you miss me that much?” She was gasping
for air.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 515/537
Instead of answering the girl, Taeyeon leaned her body towards Tiffany, hovering
over the girl on the couch, “T-Taeyeon-ah, what are you-?”
“I guess I am missing you too much, Fany-ah.” The older girl then continued
kissing Tiffany more passionately this time, leaving the other girl moaned under
her touch.
…
Knock knock.
“Come in.”
The couple walked in when they heard the voice behind the door.
“Director Kim.”
“Stop with your Director Kim, Jessica. What brings you two here?” Taeyeon
stopped typing and watched Jessica and Yuri. She noticed the broad smiles on the
two lovebirds.
“We have a gift for you and also for -“
Knock Knock.
Tiffany opened the door and walked in.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 516/537
“Oh, Tiffany! Youre here too. Good then.”
The girl who was just walking in looked bewildered. “What are you two doing
here?”
“Gee. That face. You really need to see your face just now. Why? Cant we come
to see your lover for a while?”
Taeyeon blushed when she heard the word lover.
“Y-yah! Thats not what I mean, Kwon Yuri.”
“Stop it, Yuri-ah. She is not in a good mood. That time is coming,” Taeyeon
glanced at Tiffany. She was given a death glare by the younger girl.
“Ahh… no wonder she has been pouting since this morning. TOM is coming.”
Taeyeon chuckled at Jessicas words.
“Anyway you two, we are coming here actually for… this! Tada!” Jessica waved
the folded small golden card in her hand, showing it off to Taeyeon and Tiffany.
“What is that?” Tiffany asked.
“Our wedding invitation card, of course!”
…
They were having their lunch when Taeyeon noticed Tiffany did not talk much.
“Why are you so quiet today?”
She put her coffee down.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 517/537
Tiffany looked at Taeyeon, meeting her eyes. She heaved a sigh.
“What has been bothering your mind, Fany-ah? Talk to me.”
“Jessica and Yuri are going to get married soon. Only a few days left.”
“I know. I remember.”
“Time flies so fast, right? It was just a month ago since we received the card. They
are going to live under one roof, like finally. I am happy for them.”
Taeyeon observed the other girl.
“Why it feels like youre not actually mean it?”
“I mean it!”
“Your expression does not say so.”
Tiffany sighed once more. She looked down at her hand. At her fingers.
They were empty.
Taeyeon leaned forward and took her hand.
“What is it, Fany-ah? You are making me worried.”
Tiffany looked up only to meet with her lovers brown loving eyes.
“I am jealous of them, Taeyeon-ah.”
Taeyeon was taken aback by her words. “Why are you jealous? Y-Yuri? Because
of her?”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 518/537
“No. Not her. Come on, you should know by now that I love you, Taeyeon.”
“I know. It was just… I am confused. What makes you feel jealous then?”
Tiffany cannot help but to sigh again causing Taeyeon to furrow her eyebrows.
“They are going to get married, Taeyeon-ah. Married.”
“I know. But shouldnt we feel happy about it.”
“I am! I am happy for them.” The younger girl unconsciously raised her voice.
“Then, what is it?”
Taeyeon was clueless and it made Tiffany felt irritated.
“Are you seriously asking me that?!”
Tiffany retreated back her hand from Taeyeon. She got up from her seat. “And I
thought you knew me well but guess what, I think I was wrong. You only know
your job.” Then she walked away from Taeyeon, leaving the girl alone. Tiffany
took a taxi to the company.
Strangely after they got together, Taeyeon was loaded with her works and more
upcoming projects. Due to that, the time that Taeyeon was supposed to spend with
Tiffany was wasted with her works.
It scared Tiffany because she was seeing back the hardworking Taeyeon who will
give her all on her work instead of her personal life.
Tiffany did not want the history to repeat itself. Taeyeon had made a promise to
her that she will not leave herself.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 519/537
…
“I, Kwon Yuri, take you, Jung Jessica, to be my partner of life. I promise to be true
to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love and honor
you all the days of my life."
People in the hall were standing, applauding as Yuri and Jessica were declared as
official.
“Thank you, Yuri-ah. I love you.” She whispered. A tear of happiness escaped.
“I love you more, Sica-yah.”
Yuri leaned forward and kissed Jessica sweetly on her forehead. The scene once
again causing people to applaud and tease the two married lovebirds.
When she turned to face Tiffany and saw the happiness in those crescent eyes,
Taeyeon knew what Tiffany means. In fact, she had already known about it.
Just wait, Fany-ah. Trust me.
…
“What?! Another meeting?!”
“I promise, this will be the last time, Fany-ah.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 520/537
“You have said those to me when you had a meeting in Paris and guess what,
exactly a week after that you were flying again to London.”
“But this will be the last time! I am not going to attend any overseas meetings
again.”
“Let me ask you, Taeyeon.”
Please, not again, Fany-ah.
“Is work really that important to you?”
“See. You cant even answer that. What happen to you, Taeyeon-ah?” Dont you
love me anymore? She wanted to add. “Just…go.”
…
“I am sorry. I will be back in no time. I promise I will spend every little seconds
with you. I promise.” Taeyeon like a little kid raised her right hand in front of
Tiffany. The latter chuckled.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 521/537
“Stop with your promises, Taeyeon-ah. What are you going to do if you cant
fulfill it?”
“This time is true. Just trust me, Fany-ah.”
They knew they had to be separated again when they heard the last call of her
flight.
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany and smiled at her.
“I am going to miss you, you know that right?”
“I am going to miss you too.”
Taeyeon cupped her face and leaned forward. She kissed Tiffanys right cheek.
“I will call you when I arrive there. What do you want me to buy for you?”
“Your heart. I just want your heart.”
“Aww. Then I will give all my heart for you.”
Tiffany giggled. They were leaning their foreheads together, staring at each other.
Although they had argued numerous of times before, deep inside they knew it
happened because they shared the same deep and sincere feelings toward each
other.
Taeyeon for the last time kissed Tiffany on her lips, taking her time savoring the
cold lips.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 522/537
“I love you, Fany-ah. I promise, I will come back for you.”

The End
Perhaps, she had gone crazy. She kept thinking of Taeyeon, where ever she went,
whatever she did. The thoughts of Taeyeon filled up her mind. It was insane.
“God. I am really missing her.”
I am definitely missing her.
She was checking her phone for the umpteenth times, especially on that night. Still,
there was nothing from Taeyeon.
Giving up, Tiffany threw away her phone.
“Seriously though, where on earth is she?!”
Her calls were not answered, her texts were ignored. Taeyeon was making her
worried and frustrated at the same time.
It had been three weeks since they were apart.
“Just look Kim Taeyeon. If you ever call me, I swear I will not answer your call
and-“
Her phone suddenly vibrated. When the name of her lover flashed on the screen,
her eyes lit up, she immediately answered.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 524/537
“Hey, baby. Wha-“
“Taeyeon-ah!”
“Oh, wow! That was loud. Hey, I-”
“Where on earth have you been? Why you didnt reply my tex t? Were you really
that busy? Cant you spend some time for me? When are you going to come back,
Taeyeon-ah? I-”
“I miss you too.”
“W-what?”
“I am missing you too. I am missing you so much.”
Oh. How badly she missed that soothing voice. Damn you, Taeyeon.
Unconsciously, a smile crept upon her face.
Hearing only those words coming from Taeyeon was already enough to make her
forget all her anger towards the girl.
The line was quiet for a while.
“Say it.”
“W-what? S-say what?”
“I know youre missing me too. Say it. I want to hear it, Fany-ah.”
“TaeTae-ah, seriously though, where have you gone? Youre making me worried,
do you know that?” Her voice hinted concern.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 525/537
“I… I am missing you so damn much, you idiot.” And it came out as a whisper,
but enough to make Taeyeon grinned wide at the confession.
“Aww. Youre so cute, Fany-ah.” Taeyeon chuckled at the end.
“I am serious here.”
“I know. I am missing you too. I have said it earlier.”
Tiffany walked into her bedroom and flopped herself on the mattress.
“What are you doing by the way?” Taeyeon asked.
“Im lying on my bed right now. And this might sound crazy, but I can smell you
through this blanket.” Tiffany brought the blanket closer to her.
“Does it smell nice?”
“Can you please stop joking around? I am not in a good mood.”
“Why not? Ahh… dont tell me TOM is coming again.”
“Taeyeon-ah.” She groaned.
“Okay. Okay. Im sorry. I just miss teasing my baby.”
“If you miss me then I suggest you to come back and just cuddle with me, maybe?”
Tiffany can hear the other girl chuckled at her words.
“Is that a command, Miss Hwang? Youre bossing me around now, eh. Well, as a
matter of fact, you can actually cuddle with me, make me your baby in… lets see,
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 526/537
err… less than 24 hours from now? But that only applies if we sleep early though.”
Taeyeon giggled.
The line was quiet for a moment as Tiffany was digesting what Taeyeon was trying
to tell her.
“Fany? Are you still there? Did you just fall aslee-“
“A-are you saying that, youre coming back?”
“Actually, I lied to you. I am already in Korea. Well, I just landed. Manager Park is
picking me up. Im just waiting for him now.”
The line went silent again. Taeyeon looked at her phone and she was sure Tiffany
was still on the other line.
“Wha-? But how come you-“
“Oh. Youre still there. I thought the line was cut off. Anyway I was saying that-“
“YAH! KIM TAEYEON! YOU IDIOT! HOW DARE YOU DIDNT TELL
ME!”
“Err… Fany-ah. Sur-surprise?”
___
She woke up early the next morning with a wide smile. She could not wait to meet
Taeyeon.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 527/537
She lectured her girlfriend for an hour straight. Taeyeon kept apologizing, but
Tiffany was still mad at the girl. In the end, Taeyeon admitted that she was wrong
and asked Tiffany out for dinner on the next day to repay her action.
Tiffany was informed that Manager Park would drive her to the restaurant and
asked why not the older girl instead as she misses Taeyeon so badly. But Taeyeon
gave an excuse that she has to meet someone. Knowing that she would lose
anyway, Tiffany just agreed.
Taeyeon also informed Tiffany that she will not be coming to the company as she
needs proper rest after hours on the plane.
Tiffany finished her work early and can only stare at the clock ticking slowly. She
wondered why the day seems to be longer than the usual.
She sighed, looking at her phone. She kept checking her messages, hoping that
Taeyeon would send her a text or even call her. But there were none. Tiffany was
contemplating to text Taeyeon instead but knowing the girl needed her well-rest,
she decided not to disturb.
When the clock struck at 6pm, Tiffany left the building impatiently.
She wore a black dress that Taeyeon gave to her on her birthday and put on a light
make-up. When her phone rang, she jumped from her seat excitedly and answered
the call.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 528/537
“Are you done?”
“I am almost done actually.”
“Oh. I just want to tell you that Manager Park is already on his way. Ill text you
once he arrives.”
“Ahh… Okay. I am done in a bit anyway.”
“Umm. Can you do me a favor?”
“Hmm. Depends. What is it?”
“Can you err.. just let your hair untied? I love seeing your hair down, Fany.”
Taeyeon whispered at the end, too shy to let Tiffany hear her reason.
The younger girl chuckled at the sudden cute request.
“Well. I am done with my hair actually and I dont think I have time to change it
since Manager Park is on his way.”
“Oh,” came Taeyeon replied.
Tiffany noticed the girls tone and silently giggled.
“I am sure you will like it too, so just anticipate and come early.”
“I will! Cant wait to see you. I miss you, Fany-ah.”
“I miss you too, my TaeTae.”
A giggle could be heard from the older girl.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 529/537
“I love you, Tiffany.”
“Hmm yeah.”
“W-what?”
“I know Taeyeon-ah.”
“T-thats it? Why dont you say it back?”
“I am saving it for later,” Tiffany teased. “So please come as early as you can,
yeah.”
“Okay then. See you later, Miyoung.”
“Yah!”
___
“Have you guys arrived already?”
“Yes, Taeyeon-shi.”
“Great. I am on my way. Is everything ready?”
“I have double checked everything and now we are just waiting for your arrival,
Taeyeon-shi.”
“Okay. Thanks again, Manager Park. I owe you a lot.”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 530/537
Taeyeon glanced at the small box on the seat beside her. She had rehearsed what to
do since the afternoon and could not wait any longer to see the ring on Tiffany.
Her smile went wide when she knows she was nearing the place where she wanted
to propose Tiffany.
___
Tiffany received a text from Taeyeon telling her that her lover was already on her
way. She placed her phone down and realized her heart started to drum fast
knowing that Taeyeon would be in front of her in any minutes.
She could not wait to hug the girl.
To kiss Taeyeon.
Her smile went wide and her eyes lit up when she could see Taeyeons car stopped
for the traffic light. Since the car was on the last row, Tiffany could not see
Taeyeon clearly, but she was sure that it was indeed Taeyeon.
The light finally turned green. Tiffany waited patiently for Taeyeons car to pass
by in order to see the girl.
However, what comes next left Tiffany screamed in horror when Taeyeons car
was hit hard by the sudden upcoming truck, right in front of her eyes. The impact
of the collision was really loud that it almost made Tiffany drop herself on the
floor.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 531/537
“Oh my god! Tae-Taeyeon-ah!!”
She ran outside, knees were shaking.
Her mouth was trembling, chanting of Taeyeon.
“T-Tae. Tae-Taeyeon. Tae… ”
The older girls name was accompanied by hot spilling tears.
She could hear Manager Park was calling for her, but Tiffany ignored.
As her feet brought her closer to the scene which was already surrounded by
people, she can feel her heart beats madly faster than it could ever be.
“T-Taeyeon… please.. dont...”
Tiffany had her eyes only at the car and failed to notice the approaching car that
was coming in her direction. She was late to hear the loud horn already warning
her.
Only when she stopped and looked at it that she realized a car was already coming
to her. The bright light that was directed to her cause her to freeze on her spot.
Tiffany was unable to move, unable to speak.
Her eyes closed, giving up herself to the fate.
However, she did not feel hurt from the impact of the car hitting her body, but
instead she was being engulfed in a hug of a warm body.
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 532/537
After what it seems like eternity, finally Tiffany could open her eyes only to meet a
pair of concern eyes.
“Tiffany! A-are you crazy?! Why did you do that?!”
She could not answer as her mind was confused to what actually had happened.
“Hey. Are you okay?”
In front of her was Taeyeon, cupping her face.
Tiffanys mouth went open, but there were no words could be heard. When
Taeyeon brought her closer and planted a kiss on her forehead, Tiffany can feel her
tears flowing down her face.
___
“T-Taeyeon-ah. This is you, right?”
“You have asked me already and I could not find a better answer for that other than
yes, Fany-ah.”
“I am sorry. I just… I thought it was you.”
“Didnt I text you telling you that I was on my way earlier? You didnt receive my
text?”
“I did. But I never thought on your way means you were actually walking. I am
sorry, Taeyeon-ah.”
8/9/2019 Between the Two
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/between-the-two 533/537
“Why are you even sorry? Its okay. As long as you are safe. That’s all matters to
me now.”
Taeyeon decided to bring Tiffany to her apartment after seeing how scared the girl
was and told herself that the special dinner could be done on another day instead.
Tiffany was sitting on the coach, body wrapped in a blanket. Her body was weak
and she was thankful to Taeyeon because the girl never leaves her after she almost
got hit.
Her eyes were following every movement of her lover in the kitchen. Something
about Taeyeon made Tiffany feel different that night, but she could not point it out.
Was it because the white, long-sleeve smart shirt that exposes her milky neck with
hair tied in a bun? Or was it because of the short shorts that Taeyeon wore? She
was not sure either.
“Here. Drink this.”
“T-Thanks.”
Taeyeon sat beside Tiffany and caressed the girls' hair quietly.
“I love your hair by the way,” she said softly. “Thanks for letting your hair down.”
Taeyeon smiled at the younger girl.
Tiffany faced her body to Taeyeon and held her hand.
“I am the one who should be thankful to you, Taeyeon -ah. Thank you for pulling
and saving me.”

Taeyeon squeezed her hand, wanting to let the girl knows that she will always be
there for her.
“Stop saying that.” Taeyeon pulled Tiffany closer and hug the girl. “I promise
myself to protect you, and thus, I will definitely going to protect you no matter
what, Fany-ah.”
Tiffany nuzzled closer to her lovers neck, loving the scent of her girlfriend, not
knowing that her action made Taeyeon shivered because of her breath slapping
against the exposed skin.
Tiffany wrapped her hands around Taeyeons waist. She looked up and met a pair
of loving eyes stared at her.
“I miss you so much.”
“I miss you too.” Taeyeon kissed her forehead.
“It feels empty when you were not around. I could not wait for you to come back and now you are back, I wont let you go, Taeyeon-ah.”
“I am not planning to go anywhere anyway.”
“You better keep your words.”
“I promise.” Taeyeon brought one of her hand up and made a promise sign. Her
action made Tiffany chuckle.
The younger girl nuzzled back into Taeyeons neck while Taeyeon rubbed
Tiffanys back softly.

The girls love the moments and the state they were in and just let the time passed
by.
Taeyeon looked down at Tiffany, who were playing with her collar shirt.
“You okay now?”
“Hmm.”
“I was surprised to see you running crossing the road earlier.”
“I am sorry. I thought it was your car.”
Tiffany kissed Taeyeons jawline and continued tugging the collar.
Taeyeon noticed that Tiffany was clingy at that time, but she did not protest and
enjoy the moments. There was something with Tiffanys action that sent shivers
down her spine.
Especially when Tiffany started to plant kisses on her neck.
“F-Fany?”
She received a hum, but still Tiffany did not stop.
Taeyeon was relieved when Tiffany rested her head against her chest.
Seconds passed and the younger girl opened her mouth.
“I like it when you are wearing this shirt.”
“Really?”

She trailed her hand up and down on Taeyeons arm.
“Yeah.”
“And why is that?”
“Because you look sexy,” came her husky voice.
Taeyeon chuckled at her answer finding it ridiculous. But Tiffanys next reason
completely caught her off guard.
“And it is a see-through too.” Tiffany looked up and gave Taeyeon a look that
meant for danger to the older girl. “I can see what you are wearing inside, Tae.”
Taeyeon gulped.
“Red is sexy.”
Chills ran down her spine when Tiffany gave her an innocence stare while the
girls fingers were already working, unbuttoning her shirt.
“F-fany. I-“
“I really miss you, Tae. And I mean it.”
Her voice hinted Taeyeon for something.
Before Taeyeon can speak a word, Tiffany was already taking her lower lips,
kissing her slowly with so much passion. Taeyeon closed her eyes and returned the
kiss. She let Tiffany kissed her, nibbling her lips and sucking it gently.
Taeyeon wanted to lead the kiss but Tiffany was already breaking it.

“I love you, Taeyeon.”
“Love you too, sweetheart.”
Before Taeyeon could register what happen when Tiffany smirked, the younger
girl was already throwing her shirt on the floor.
“Wha-“
“As I said earlier, red is sexy.” Taeyeon can feel her bra unclasped within seconds
