WISH ING YOU WERE HERE

Chapter 01

Tiffany, why cant you just stay home? I am really worried about

you going to school in Korea. Why cant you just stay here, inAmerica? You dont even speak the language well. Said a man

looking at a girl who seems to be his daughter. Surrounding themwere other passengers checking in at the airport, as well as their

families. Her flight must be either very early or very late sincethere arent that many people at the airport at this time.

His daughter quickly responded to her father, Daddy! Its going to

be just fine. We have talked about this many times already.

It seems like she has already checked in her other suitcases since

there was only one carry-on bag sitting on the ground next to herfeet. Tiffany, a girl with short brown hair, doesnt look tired at all

despite the fact that she is at the airport either very early or verylate in the day. To be exact, she was quite excited before her dadbegan this conversation that apparently had taken place many

times already.

I know, I know, but it still worries me. What if you offend

someone with your poor Korean? Her father acclaims.

Itll be just fine Daddy. Jessica will be there, and she will be ableto help me out.

All passengers going on the flight to Korea must board the plane

now to avoid any delays. I repeat all the passengers


2/220

I have to go, Daddy! She leaned over and gave him a hug. I

love you, Daddy. Ill be fine, I promise. But I have to go now!Bye, Daddy. She finishes her farewell to her dad then quickly

grabbed her bag and head for the gate.

I love you too, honey. Give me a call when you settle in to your

hotel! And if anything happens, CALL ME! He yells and waves

at the sight of his only beloved daughter walking away towards the

airport gate. He sighs then left the airport.

***

After an extremely long flight, Tiffany has finally arrived in Koreaat 4:00 PM, her home country. It took her about another hour tofinish checking out and reclaimed her luggage. One could be

fooled by her one carry-on bag that she didnt take anything with

her. But the fact is, the second she exited the airport, you can see

her cart with two huge pink suitcases. How she managed to pass

the weight check is unknown.

Yay! Im finally in Korea! She screamed excitedly in English

extracting numerous of weird looks from the people around her.

She noticed their eyes and just smiled back at them showing herpair of smiley eyes. Then feeling kind of embarrassed she

continued to walk on.

Out on the street, she spotted a taxi driving towards her direction

and quickly waved at him to get his attention. The taxi sloweddown, stopped in front of her, and then got out of his seat to help

Tiffany with her two huge suitcases. After placing the suitcases inthe trunk, both the taxi driver and Tiffany entered the car.

Where would you like to go, miss? The taxi driver asked in

Korean.


3/220

Tiffany, sitting in the back seat, scratched her head then slowly

responded back in Korean Star Hotel, please in her hugeAmerican accent. Then worried that the driver did not understand

her, she handed him the brochure to the hotel.

Star Hotel? Ok! The taxi driver said. After driving off from the

airport for a few minutes, the taxi began to start a conversation

with Tiffany. What are you, miss? Chinese? Japanese?

Vietnamese? He asked in his best English. Let me guess, ok?

You Chinese, right? Your Korean is very good for Chinese guest.

Um Already feeling embarrassed, she softly replied Im

actually Korean.

The rest of the ride was just in an awkward silent. But nonetheless,

Tiffany enjoyed the sceneries that she passed by on the ride to her

hotel. She just couldnt wait until she gets settled in so she could

roam the streets of Korea.

Finally, she arrived at the hotel. After Tiffany has paid him, thetaxi driver helped her with her suitcases then drove off. Though

struggling, she managed to pull both her suitcases to the front desk

in order to check in.

Do you have a reservation? Asked the front desk lady in Korean.

Yes maam, I do. My name is Tiffany Hwang. Once again she

used poor Korean. She wasnt afraid of getting embarrassedanymore. Besides, she should get used to it if she wants to live

here, she thought to herself.

***

After checking in, Tiffany, with the help of a hotel employee

settled in room with her two pink suitcases. And just when Tiffany


4/220

was about to go out on an adventure in Korea on her first day, she

remembered that she was supposed to call her dad as soon as shesettled in.

Alright, Ill give him a call before I go. She took out the cellphone that her dad as personally got for her that would work in

Korea as well. She dialed her dads number and waited till

someone picked the phone up. Hello? Daddy, its me

TiffanyYes Im ok. Nothing happened. Everything went

fineYes Im settled in the hotelNo, I havent called Jessica

yetI will I will in just a bitOk Daddy, Ill let you get back toworkBye Daddy, Ill be fine and will call you as often. I love

you, bye. She then hang up the phone call and stood up.

Korea, here I come! She excited screamed again then left her

hotel room without calling Jessica like she promised her dad.

Tiffany didnt go too far from her hotel, afraid that she might be

lost. Good thing her hotel was surrounded by many shops and

restaurants for Tiffany to look around. She spent about hourswalking around, buying things, eating, taking pictures and merely

just observing places.

Omo, its Dennis O! She squealed as she saw a poster of her idol

Dennis Oneil at a bus stop. She quickly took a picture of herself

standing next to the life-size poster. One picture is not enough.

Click. A different pose. Click. Another pose. Click. This time with

her signature peace sign.

Once again, she found herself being stared at by numerous eyes.She cleared her voice in embarrassment then just walked away.Remembering that she passed by a bridge on the taxi she decided

to take a look. It is already 9 PM and Tiffany isnt even tired yet.

She wants to observe the beautiful city light on that bridge that she

has passed.


5/220

Finally she arrived at the bridge and stood on bridge looking downat the lake. Although with many cars passing by and strong winds,

the city lights reflected on the surface of the lake was extraordinary

beautiful for Tiffany. She noticed there was another girl standingabout 10 meters down but she didnt care and continued to observe

the city from the bridge. And as she was looking around, the girl

that was standing there caught her attention.

I can do it! I can do it! I can do it! The girl screamed in Korean

with both hands around her mouth.

It was too dark and thus, Tiffany cant really see the girls face.She can see, though, that the girl had a medium hair length to hershoulder and wasnt very tall.I wonder if shes okay, Tiffany

thought.

Tiffany finally decided that it was late so she headed back to the

hotel. After taking a shower and brushing her teeth, she lie down

on her bed. She must be too excited and anxious for anotheradventurous day that it took her another hour to finally fall asleep.

***

Ya! Tiffany, open the door! A girl screamed from outside of

Tiffanys room as she bangs against the door.

I must be dreaming, who here speaks perfect English? Aish,Tiffany mumbled as she tries to fall back to sleep.

Still the banging kept going. Tiffany! Wake up already! Ya! Itsme Jessica! The girl screamed again.

Jessica? Ohits Jessica. I dont know a Jessica. And as she was

about to go back to sleep, her eyes popped open. Wait, Jessica?!


6/220

Im coming! She screamed back to the girl and quickly gets up

from her bed to go open the door.

As Tiffany unlocks her door, the door swings open hitting the half

asleep Tiffany in her forehead.

Ow! What the heck, Jessica?!

Chapter 02

How did you know I was here? Tiffany asked as she rubbed herfingers against her forehead.

Your dad called me. Jessica replied. Jessica has long hair passed

her shoulders. She was wearing jeans with a casual top, while

Tiffany was still in her pajamas. Why, do you not want me here?

Of course I want you here! I was just surprised how you found

me. Still rubbing her forehead Aigo, Daddy is sohe never trust

his daughter!

Tired of standing she gave herself permission to sit on Tiffanys

bed. Maybe its because his daughter isnt so smart that he has to

worry about her all day and night. Jessica joked.

Hey! Is this how youre going to greet your childhood best

friend? She raised her tonebut still rubbing her forehead.

Why do you keep rubbing your forehead? What did you do? Let

me see. Pulling Tiffanys hand from her forehead, Jessica could

see the bruise on Tiffanys forehead. No wonder she kept rubbing

it. Must of hurt. Ya! You got a bruise! She yelled.


7/220

What?! Its all your fault! You swung the door open when I wasright in front of it! OwI have a bruise now, great. She whines as

she checks in the mirror in the bathroom.

Do you have any pain reliever cream? Jessica asked as she

looked around the room.

Yeah, in my bag.

Here, let me help you. Jessica walked in to the bathroom to helpTiffany with the pain reliever cream. She squeezed out a bit of

cream from the bottle then rubbed the cream against Tiffanysforehead.

While Jessica was rubbing the cream on her forehead, Tiffany eyes

were on Jessicas face. She hasnt seen Jessica in person for 4

years now since Jessica moved back to Korea from the States,

though they did keep in contact through the internet. And wow

Tiffany thought to herself as she scans Jessicas face from herforehead down to her chin.Her face is a bit different than before

she thought,prettier to be exact.

Jessica, youre hot. She finds herself saying it out loud then

quickly covers her mouth.

I know I am Jessica replied while still rubbing Tiffanys

forehead. Since Im at it, would you like a kiss along with it?

Tiffany quickly nodded with a smile on her face but only to finddisappointment to come. You wish. Jessica whispered as shebacked away from Tiffany. Your forehead should be ok now.

Hurry, get dressed, Ill show you around Seoul. Jessica demanded

as she smiled at Tiffanys disappointed face.


8/220

After ten minutes, Tiffany has finished washing up and got

dressed.

Ok, Im ready lets going! Tiffany excited said as she walked out

of the bathroom. She had on a pair of jeans and pink top.

Both Tiffany and Jessica walked out of the hotel room, and closed

the door.

But we have to eat first. Jessica added as they walk towards the

elevator.

I know. You like to eat. I remember. Tiffany responded.

***

After Tiffany and Jessica ate lunch, Jessica showed Tiffany

around. They went to parks, shopping malls/centers, theme parks,

and as simple as riding on the bus looking out the window. Finally,

there was a place that Jessica has to show Tiffany. It was theirfuture university. It was Honey University.

This is where we will be staying from tomorrow on for the next 4years. Jessica said.

Wow, the school is beautiful! Im going to have a great time

here. Excited Tiffany claimed, not knowing all the hardship shell

face later on.

Yeah, you wont say that anymore after we start class. ThereJessica goes again, ruining the mood for Tiffany.

Will we be roommates? Tiffany asked.

Yeah. With two other persons...kind of.


9/220

What do you mean?

Well the building that were going to be in only has joint rooms.

Meaning two rooms separated only by a shared bathroom for allfour of us. Jessica sighed Id rather be by myself.

Ay Jessica, she nudged Jessica You still havent changed a bit.

Dont be such a loner.

Im not a loner. Im already gonna share a room with you.Jessica claims denying the fact that she doesnt like people very

much. Hey, Im hungry. Lets go eat. Jessica demanded.

Eat? Again? Didnt we just eat? Tiffany questioned Jessica

eating habits.

That was lunch, now its dinner time. Lets go! and so Jessica

dragged Tiffany along.

***

(in Korean) No appa, everything is fine here. Dont worry aboutmeI will move into the dorm tomorrowYes appa. Tell Umma

not to worry too much about me. I will be fine Yes appa,

goodbye. As a girl hangs up her cell phone walking on the

sidewalk of a street, another girl bump into her. The girl dropped

her cell phone and at this time, the girl that bumped into herquickly grabbed her phone and ran.

Ya! Come back! Thats my phone! Help! She took my phone!The girl screamed as she chased after the other girl that took her

cell phone. But no one seemed to care to stop the other girl.

The girl kept chasing the girl thief into a park where the other girl


10/220

thief slipped on the watery ground. The girl who was chasing

slowed down and walk towards the other girl thief who was downon the ground. Just when the girl thief was going to get back up

and run, the other girl kicked her leg, making the girl thief fall

down again.

Give me back my phone! The girl demanded while breathing

heavily.

What do you think youre doing?! said a third person with an

extreme American accent towards the girl who want her phoneback. Why are you bullying another girl? It was no one else but

Tiffany. She was on her way back to the hotel with Jessica whenthe two girls caught their attention.

What?! The girl asked, still breathing heavily from the running.

Tiffany, dont mind them. Lets go home. Jessica said her

calmed voice, not wanting bother other people nor to be bothered.

You should go; Ill talk some sense into this girl. Tiffany bends

down and lets the girl thief on the ground go.

Ya! Come back! The girl yelled as the other girl thief walked

away sticking her tongue out. Then the girl turned back to Tiffany,

What do you think youre doing?! Do you even know whats

going on?! She screamed into Tiffanys face with furious. Tiffany

didnt seem to care what the girl was trying to tell her. She tookmy phone, you idiot! She screamed again. UHHH. This must be

the most unlucky day of my life! The girl ran towards thedirection that the girl stole her phone went.

Tiffany finally realized that she has misunderstood the whole

situation and help the bad girl get away. Hey! Im sorry, I didnt

know. Tiffany apologized but the girl has already left to chase the


11/220

other girl.

Knowing she has done something wrong, Tiffany puts her head

down and sighs. And since she did, she noticed a wallet on the

ground where they were standing. She kneeled down to pick it up.After scanning the persons ID she knew it was the girl who she

had wrongfully accused. Her name is Taeyeon? Hmm, she looks

familiar in this picture. Hey Jessica, have you ever seen her

before? Tiffany asked as she turned her attention to Jessica and

showed her the ID.

No, never seen her before in my life. Jessica answered after she

took a two second glance at the ID.

Tiffany continued to dig the wallet to see if she could find a way to

return the wallet to this Taeyeon girl. Oh look, her student card.

Shes going to Honey University too! We can find her there

tomorrow and return it! Finally Tiffany let out a smile after all the

guilt she felt.

Ok, now lets go home shall we? Jessica forced out a smile

because though she askedit was more like a command.

***

Chapter 03

(From now on, all speeches are in Korean unless stated)

Taeyeon! A girl screamed in excitement as Taeyeon enters the

hotels lobby.

Yuri? When did you get here? You shouldve told me to come

and get you. Taeyeon replied in excitement as she hugs Yuri who

was rushing towards her.


12/220

I did! I called you many times but no one picked up. But its ok, I

just got here. Yuri said as she let go of Taeyeons hug.

Oh, yeah I kind of dont have my phone anymore. Taeyeon

mumbled and once again felt her anger from the incident withTiffany.

Why? What happened? Yuri asked curiously. And so Taeyeon

retold what happened to Yuri. Oh my gosh, are you serious? Im

sorry such thing happened to you!

Well its over. Lets go to our room and get us a goodnight

sleep. Taeyeon suggested with a lightly forced smile on her faceas she reach into her back pocket to get herwallet. Wait,wheres my wallet? Ah, dont tell me it fell out when I was chasing

that girl! Aish the rooms key was in there! And my student ID!

Once again Taeyeon was furious of all the things that have

happening to her lately.

After she and Yuri discussed, they decided to go to the front deskto ask for another key.

May I see your ID please? The front desk lady asked.

But I lost my wallet and everything! Taeyeon replied.

Im sorry but to prevent thieves faking as one of our guests we

need to see their ID. The front desk lady responded. Though shepity Taeyeon, its against the hotels rule if she give Taeyeon the

keys.

Oh great. This is such a great day. Good thing I always put my

money in a different pocket or else I would have to walk home.

Taeyeon sigh. Then she recognized a hotel employee that helped

her with her luggage earlier and pointed straight to him. He


13/220

helped me to get in my room earlier; he can prove that the room is

actually mine!

After checking with the hotel employee that the room really

belongs to Taeyeon, the front desk lady gave Taeyeon the keys toher room. Taeyeon helped Yuri with her luggage then settled in the

room where they spent the night together.

***

Come on, hurry! Youre so slow, Jessica! Tiffany nagged as sheand Jessica pulled their luggage towards the school gate. Though

she had her two pink suitcases with her she was still too hyper toget into her dorm. Even though she has already been in Korea for 3days and is about to start school, she refuses to use Korean towards

Jessica.

Why are you so hyper? Were just moving in to SCHOOL. Not

like going were going on a vacation. Jessica complained as her

struggle with her own luggage.

Since today was the official day to move in, there were many other

students checking in as well. The line to check-in to get their roomassignments was long and it took Tiffany and Jessica about 45

minutes to get to the front. After checking in and receiving their

room assignments, Tiffany couldnt wait even another second and

quickly dragged Jessica with her to their room. Because of the

perfect English they used towards each other, they attracted manyeyes of curious students. And so they both got to their side of the

joint room and settled in.

Lets go look around the school! And maybe we can find that

Taeyeon girl! Tiffany quickly suggested to Jessica who is about to

take a nap on her new bed. Hey! Jessica! Are you really going to

take a nap?!


14/220

Ya! Hwang Mi Young! We have 5 more days until school start tolook around. Why rush? Just let me rest, ok? Goodnight! Jessica

scold then pulled the blanket over her head.

Fine! Ill go alone! Tiffany screamed back then headed for the

door. When she opened the door, she heard a bumping sound. Did

she hit something...or someone?

Ow, a sound came from the other side of the door. It sounded

like a girls voice.

Oh my gosh. Im so sorry. I didnt know you were there. Are youok? Tiffany quickly responded back in English, forgetting thatshes in Korea and she wasnt even talking to Jessica. Then she

stepped out of the room to talk to the girl.

Huh? The girl looked at Tiffany with much curiosity in her eyes.

Then out her wild guess that Tiffany does not know Korean, the

girl responded back in her Korean-accented English, Its ok. Hi,my name is Yuri. I am your next door roommate. Nice to meet

you. Then she bowed to Tiffany.

Hi! I mean annyonghaseyo. Tiffany corrected herself then

started to speak Korean towards her new roommate. Im Tiffany.

Nice to meet you too. Your name is Yuri? Again with her huge

American accent and the English r in Yuris name. Then she

held out her hand and shook hand with Yuri who still lookedconfused. Oh wait, am I supposed to bow? Aish Tiffany you need to

learn all the traditions or else youd offend someone! Tiffanythought.

Oh you speak Korean. Yuri continued but now in Korean. I just

came to introduce myself since we will be sharing the bathroom

and all. Yuri tried to look over Tiffanys shoulder to see that


15/220

Jessicas sleeping on her bed. Is that your roommate? She then

asked.

Oh Jessica? Yes, shes my roommate. Shes taking a nap.

Tiffany replied with a mocking tone towards Jessica.

Jessica? Such a pretty name. She has an English name she must be

a native English speaker as well? Yuri thought. Oh, would you

like to meet my roommate? She asked.

Of course Tiffany couldnt wait to see new people and quickly saidYes! and followed Yuri to her room.

Taeyeon ah! Come meet our next door roommate! Yuri saidwhile opening the door to their side of the room.

Taeyeon was sitting on her bed unpacking her things. Once she

heard Yuris voice, she stood up and walked towards the door to

greet her new roommate.

Thinking that she should bow this time, Tiffany bends down and

bows her head down in front of Taeyeon, hiding her face from

Taeyeon. By the time she finished bowing and looked up, shequickly realized Taeyeon was the girl from yesterday.

You! Youre that girl! Taeyeon pointed as soon as she saw

Tiffanys face.

You two know each other? How come I didnt know this before?

Yuri asked.

Shes the girl that made me lost my cell phone! Taeyeon

screamed bring back her anger.

Oh. So I guess she couldnt catch that other girl last night. Ah


16/220

Tiffany, youre in trouble already. Tiffany thought. Im really

sorry; I didnt mean to do it. Tiffany apologized again softly asshe bends her head down.

Sorry? Did you know how many meals I had to skip in order tosave enough money for that phone?! Taeyeon screamed in

Tiffanys face.

Ya, Taeyeon. Its ok. Look at her, she looks so apologetic. She

must not mean to. She was trying to help a girl who she thought

was being bullied. Yuri said and patted Tiffany on her shoulder.Its okay Tiffany,

But I found this though. Tiffany said pulling out Taeyeonswallet. I was going to look for you since I know you will be going

Honey University. Handing the wallet back to Taeyeon.

Yay! My wallet! I dont have to worry about my student ID

anymore. Taeyeon rejoiced as she looked through her lost wallet.

See. Now that you got your wallet back, dont be mad at Tiffany

anymore. Ok? Yuri said as she wrapped her arm around

Taeyeons shoulder. How about we go and get lunch together?Yuri suggested, hoping to be able to ease Taeyeons tension

towards Tiffany.

Whatever you want Yuri. Taeyeon replied

Great! Let me get Jessica, she loves to eat. Tiffany excited

responded then went to her side of the room to get Jessica.

Jessica? Taeyeon asked curiously.

Yeah, its Tiffanys roommate. Yuri replied.


17/220

Oh.

Chapter 04

Jessica. Wake up. Tiffany taps Jessicas shoulder to wake her up.

Leave me alone. Jessica replied as she pushes Tiffany off of her

bed.

Were about to go eat, wouldnt you like to join us? Tiffanyadded knowing how much Jessica loves to eat. Oh my gosh, her

eyes just popped open when she heard the word eat. That scared

the sh!t out of me. Tiffany thought as she saw Jessica quickly get

up from her bed.

Eat? Where? Who are we? Im ready. Jessica stood up all ready

to go.

That was fast.

Why are you talking to me in Korean? Dont you know how

horrible your pronunciation is? Jessica asked.

Since Im here, Im going to have to use Korean. Come on lets

go. Tiffany said as she pulled Jessica outside of the room.

You never told me whos we. Jessica questioned Tiffany againnot knowing she was about to bump into someone.

Ya, watch out. Yuris behind you. Tiffany warned Jessica and so

Jessica took a step away from Yuri.


18/220

Hi! Im Yuri, your next door roommate! Nice to meet you Yuri

excitedly introduced herself as she did her greeting bow again likeshe did to Tiffany.

Jessica scanned Yuri from head to toe then finally said Hi, ImJessica. Nice to meet you too. Jessica replied in her typical calm

voice and bowed her head a little bit. Just at that moment Yuri

thought to herselfWow, her Korean is perfect. And I thought shewould have an accent like Tiffany. And her voice is so sweet.

Im Taeyeon, Im sure weve met before. Taeyeon came frombehind Yuri and introduced herself to Jessica and they both did a

light bow to each other. Jessica recognized her but it didnt botherit nor was she interested in knowing what has happened betweenher and Tiffany.

Were going to eat lunch with Yuri and Taeyeon. Tiffany added

excitedly and jumped up and down. But once she noticed the weird

look on Taeyeons face she calmed down and apologized Im

sorry.

And so they all walked to the closest school cafeteria. After a few

minutes each got themselves a tray of food and sat down together.

So Tiffany, are you from the US? Yuri asked as she took a bite

into her food.

Uh huh. And so is Jessica, right Sica? Tiffany asked Jessica,hoping she would actually join the conversation. But to her dismay

Jessica was only interested in her food and so only nodded.

So did you both come to Korea together? Yuri asked again, she

is just too curious her two new roommates.

No, Jessica came back from the States 4 years ago with her


19/220

parents. I just came back to go to school here. Tiffany answered

as she continues to eat.

And just as Tiffany finished her sentence, Taeyeon had a smile on

her face.No wonder your Korean sucks so badly she thought toherself.

As Yuri turned around, she saw that Taeyeon was smiling and once

again it ranged the bell of her curiosity. What are you smiling

about Taeyeon?

Huh? Nothing. I wasnt smiling. I was just eating. Taeyeon

answered, refusing to say the truth.

So are you two friends? Or did you guys just meet? Tiffany

asked Yuri.

Yeah we went to the same high school in Pusan. Yuri replied.

Alright, Im done eating. You guys have fun, Im going back tosleep. Jessica said as she stood up from the table. And before

anyone could say anything she has left.

Jessica! Tiffany yelled then turned back to Yuri and Taeyeon,

Sorry you guys, she doesnt really like people. The only two

things that she likes in the world are food and sleep. Tiffany

apologized as she glanced at Taeyeon again, this time it was more

carefully. She does look familiar, but from where? Tiffany thought.Um, Taeyeon, have we met before? She finally couldnt contain

her curiosity and asked.

Yeah, when you made me lost my phone. Taeyeon replied coldly

that resulted in an elbow from Yuri. Tiffany felt bad and just stop

asking more questions.


20/220

They didnt talk nor do much after that. Each of them went back to

their own room after they finished their lunch. Some to unpack,one to just wonder around, and one to sleep. And soon it was night

timea time to wash up before going to bed.

Jessica, Im going to take a shower first, ok? Tiffany told Jessica

who was lying on her bed again, but this time she wasnt sleeping.

She was playing on her laptop. Tiffany went towards the bathroom

and opened the door not noticing that the occupied light was on.

By the time she could see what was in the bathroom, she saw

Taeyeon standing there with only a towel wrapped around herbody. And before she could react, Taeyeon turned around and saw

Tiffany at the door.

Ya! Dont you see the lights on?! Taeyeon yelled at Tiffany

whose eyes were still on Taeyeon.

Tiffany was frozen to the sight in front of her eyes. It took her

another 5 seconds after she heard Taeyeons voice to blink and

quickly turned around. Im sorry! I didnt mean to. I forgot tolook. Then she quickly went back out of the bathroom and closed

the door behind her. Oh my gosh. That was weird. Tiffany ah, what

are you thinking about? Why is your heart beating so fast? Tiffanythought to herself.

That was fast. Jessica said after she heard the door closed. Ya,

why is your face so red? Are you ok? She stood up from the bed

and walked towards Tiffany then she placed both of her hands onTiffanys cheek. Youre burning up. Are you ok? Tiffany!

Waved her hand back and forth in front of Tiffanys face.Tiffany! Come back!

Tiffany finally snapped back from her daze. Im okay. Uh,

Jessica, why dont you shower first? After she finished her

sentence Tiffany just walked towards her bed and sat on it.


21/220

Um, ok. Jessica replied though she was curious about Tiffanywhos always hyper just sat still on her bed. After she grabbed her

clothes and towel and noticed that the occupied light was not on,

she opened the door. But by fate, Yuri on the other side was alsoopening the door to her side of the bath room.

Oh, Jessica. Go ahead; Ill just wait till youre done. Yuri said

with courtesy and a smile on her face.

Ok, then. Jessica replied without any emotion and went in theshower stall.

Since Jessica is now taking a shower, Yuri stepped back out to herside of the room.

Whats wrong? Taeyeon asked as she saw Yuri came out.

Jessica is taking a shower now. Yuri replied and went to sit

down on her bed.

That Tiffany girl is weird. How could she forget to look at the

occupied light? And her reaction is so slow. It took her like 5seconds before she could hear what I said. Taeyeon said.

Come on, Taeyeon. Im sure youll forget to too one of these

days. Youre just still holding grudge against her. Yuri insisted.

She did cause me to lose my phone, didnt she? Taeyeon replied

in her mocking tone. And before Yuri could rebut, Taeyeon addedNo more comments.

After a while just sitting there and talking Taeyeon noticed the

occupied light was turned off and said Hey, the lights off. Go

shower.


22/220

Ok. Yuri responded then went in the bath room.

While on the other side, Tiffany was still sitting on her bed, dazed

out.

Ya, Yuris going to take her shower so youll have to wait a bit.

Ya. Tiffany. Tiffany. Jessica sighed. What am I going to do with

you? Aish.

Chapter 05

Yuri let me hide behind you! Taeyeon shouted after she saw thesight of a guy walking by. They were in the cafeteria eating lunchon their second day of moving in.

Omo. Dont tell me he followed you all the way here. Yuri

wondered as she saw the guy Taeyeon was hiding from.

Ya, Kim Tae Yeon. Is that really you? The guy saw Taeyeon andquickly walked over to their table.

Great. He caught me. Aish. Taeyeon thought as she forced out afake smile. Junsu. Its you. What are you doing here? She

questioned.

Same thing you are. Im going to be going to school here. Are

you excited? Because I am! Junsu excited replied.

Yeah, Im really excited. Taeyeon said sarcastically.I would bemore excited if you werent here, she thought.

Oh, hey Yuri! How are you? Junsu asked again very excited.

Finally, there is someone thats as hyper as Tiffany.


23/220

Im fine, thank you. Yuri replied with a smile.

Ya Taeyeon, since school hasnt started we should go out

sometimes. I know a lot of cool places in Seoul. Junsu suggested.

Go out? Uhyeahsurewhenever. Taeyeon expressed

sarcastically

Great! Im free tonight. Lets go out! Ill wait for you at the

school gate at 7, ok? Well, Ill see you then! Bye bye! Junsu

coerced then quickly walked away without giving Taeyeon achance to reject.

Aish! Whats wrong with him? Taeyeon whinnied and stumbledher feet as he walks away.

So are you going? Yuri asked.

Lets not worry about it till later. She sigh as she thought Why

me? Why does he have to like me out of all the girls in the world?

After they finished eating, Taeyeon and Yuri went back to their

room.

The hyperactive Tiffany was in her room with Jessica. Still prefer

to stay inside; Jessica was lying on her bed reading her book intheir cool air-conditioned room. It was now 5 PM.

JessicaSica ahh. Tiffany whines.

What? What do you want? Jessica groaned.

Can we go out today? And have some fun? Please? Tiffany nags


24/220

as she grabs a hold on Jessicas arm.

Ya. Cant you see Im reading a book here? Dont disturb me.

Jessica scolded though her eyes are still on the book without even a

glance at Tiffany.

Sica ahh. Jessica unnie Sica jjang. She whines as she shook

Jessicas right armthe one thats holding on to the book, causing

the book to swing back and forth in front of Jessicas face.

Ya, stop it. I cant read. Jessica yelled as she tries to remove herarm out of Tiffanys tight grip.

Jessica ahhh. Please? Pretty please? I will love you forever andever and ever! Tiffany kept begging and nagging and whining as

she shakes Jessicas arm again. This time she added a pout on her

face and a pair of puppy eyes that kept blinking towards Jessica.

Aish. Fine. Fine. And just as Tiffanys face brightens, Jessica

added, Once you finish unpacking your two suitcases. CausingTiffanys face to frown.

How about one?

Nope. Jessica shook her head. Either you unpack both or we

both stay here today.

Fine. And with that Tiffany let go of Jessicas arm and began tounpack her two gigantic pink suitcases.

Jessica sighs as she began to continue reading. Youre so easy to

trick Tiffany. You wont be able to finish unpacking till late night

even if you try. Jessica thought and smiled to herself. But how

wrong could she be?


25/220

The hyperactive Tiffany was too desperate for some fun that she

worked like a bunny on caffeine. Within only two hours Tiffanyhas finished unpacking all of her things and placed them on

specific shelves and locations. There were all of her electronics,

random pink stuffed animals, piles of magazines and posters thathas Dennis O on them, pink pencil case, pink flute in a pink case

(the one we gave her), pink camera, plus many other pink things.

And just as Jessica was about to finish reading her book and lie

back down on her bed, Tiffany quickly rushed over to Jessica.

Jessica! Look! I finished unpacking! Yay! Lets go! Tiffanyexcitedly showed Jessica who looked shock.

Oh no. I underestimated her. Jessica thought feeling like hittingherself in the head. Fine. Jessica grumbled as she stood up and

grabbed her phone. Well, are we gonna go or not?

Of course we are!

***

Yuri ah, go with me. I dont want to go with him by myself.

Taeyeon plead.

Ok, Ill go with you. Yuri happily replied since she knows how

much Junsu bothers her.

And so they both walked out of their room and headed towards thestairs. Just before they pass by Tiffanys and Jessicas room, their

door opens causing Taeyeon and Yuri to halt. At this time Taeyeonsaw Tiffany jumped out of and thus an idea came to her mind.

Tiffany. Jessica. Would you guys want to go out with us tonight?

Taeyeon asked with a plan in her mind.


26/220

Where are you guys going? Tiffany asked.

We actually dont know. A friend of us is taking us out and were

wondering if youd like to join us. Taeyeon replied.

Seeing Taeyeons odd behavior, Yuri pulled Taeyeon a step back

and whispered, Ya, what are you up to?

With Tiffany hyperactive personality just like Junsu Im sure

theyll get along and then Junsu wouldnt want to hang out with

me anymore. Taeyeon whispered back.

Im fine with that, what about you Jessica? Tiffany turnedtowards Jessica.

Yeah, sure. I dont care. Jessica replied without any emotions,

still bothered by the fact that she could be sleeping in her room

now.

Great. Then lets go, Junsus waiting for us. Taeyeon said asthey headed for the school gate.

It took them about another two minutes before they all got to thegate where Taeyeon can see Junsu waiting.

Taeyeon! Junsu excited shouted when he saw herwith a few

other girls.

Hey Junsu! I invited a few friends with us, is that fine with you?

UmyeahItsfine. Junsu said.

TheReal Chapter 06


27/220

Although Junsu did not like the idea of so many other people

tagging along with him and Taeyeon, he did invite the four girls inhis car and drove them around. Of course Taeyeon had to sit next

to Junsu while Tiffany Jessica and Yuri sat in the back. Supposedly

Junsu was going to take Taeyeon to a nice restaurant to eat withher alone, now hes just going to have more guests.

Taeyeon ah, you havent eaten yet, right? Lets us all go to this

nice restaurant that I know. Junsu suggested as he drove his car.

Yeah, up to you. Taeyeon replied.

Coincidentally Junsu passed the bridge that Tiffany was on, on herfirst day in Korea. And as she looked out the window, she saw acouple of people standing there. Then she quickly looked at

Taeyeon and realizes that it was Taeyeon who was at the bridge!

Tiffany snapped her finger and yelled out Oh! I remember now!

Youre the girl that was screaming I can do it! at the bridge a few

nights ago right? Taeyeon? It caused everyone in the car to stareat both Taeyeon and Tiffany.

What? She saw me there? I cant let the others know that I did

such an embarrassing act. Taeyeon thought as she turns around

and acts dumb. What girl? Said what? What bridge? What are you

talking about?

Remember? A few nights ago, at the bridge that we just pass by.

Nope. You must have mistaken me with someone else. Taeyeonlied again.

Really? Well you look a lot like that girl. Tiffany said though

she still suspects that it was indeed Taeyeon.


28/220

Were here! Said Junsu as he parked the car and turn off the

engine. Lets go in. As he got out of the car and quickly rushedto the other side to open Taeyeons door.

Thanks, Taeyeon smiled.

Taeyeon ah, I got something for you. Junsu hinted then went to

the back of his car and open the trunk. There he took out a bouquet

then return to where Taeyeon was standing. I know you like all

type of purple flowers and so I specially ordered them for you.

Junsu smiled as he handed Taeyeon the bouquet.

Oh gosh, what is he doing? Taeyeon thought and uncomfortablyreplied. Um, thanks Junsu. But dont do this again.

You dont like flowers? Ill find something different next time

then. Junsu smiled again unable to see the discomfort in Taeyeon.

Ya, Yuri ah. Do you know whats going on? Tiffany asked as

she stares at Taeyeon and Junsu walking a few steps ahead fromher.

Oh. Junsu has liked Taeyeon since high school. We believe thathe came to this university because of her. But Taeyeon never likes

him. I wouldnt like him either if he bothers me 24/7. Yuri replied

as she stared over at the Jessica who has been quiet all this time.

Jessica ah, youre so quiet. She finally asked.

I just dont like to talk. Jessica replied.

After Yuri finished her sentence, Tiffany came up with a plan inher head. She rushed towards Taeyeon and Junsu and squeezed in

between them, grabbing Taeyeons left arm and Junsus right arm.

Hey, youre Junsu, right?! Tiffany smiled at Junsu showing her

smiley eyes again. I forgot to introduce myself but Im Tiffany,


29/220

Taeyeons friend. She added with her smile again as she turned to

Taeyeon who gave her the when-did-we-became-friends look.

Uh, hi Tiffany! Junsu forced out a smile though he felt very

interrupted.

I heard youre from the same high school as Taeyeon, right? Wow

youre really cute. Do you have any other brothers or sisters?

Tiffany continues to question Junsu.

And so the whole way from the parking lot to the restaurantTiffany was between Junsu and Taeyeon and keeps asking random

questions. Even when the waiter shows the group to their table,Tiffany still remains in the middle between Junsu and Taeyeon andended up sitting between them. She wasnt going to let him sit next

to her. Junsu kept his cool though he wishes to sit next to Taeyeon.

After they all has ordered their meal, Junsu tried to look over

Tiffanys shoulder and asked Taeyeon ah, do you think I can have

you phone number so if we were to hang out again, it would beeasier to contact you.

Phone? Tiffany once again interrupted. Taeyeon doesnt have aphone anymore.

I wonder why, Tiffany. Taeyeon said sarcastically as she gave

Tiffany her dirty stare. Still, Tiffany smiled back at Taeyeon.

Thats all she could ever do. Taeyeon thought as she rolled hereyes.

Wait, why not? Junsu curiously asked.

Someone took it from her. Tiffany answered in place of

Taeyeon.


30/220

Its a long story, Taeyeon added.

Oh yeah? Junsu replied then smiled to himself. He mustve

thought of something. And the whole night, Tiffany continued to

interrupt Junsu and Taeyeon whereas Taeyeon doesnt mind that atall.

Jessica, so what do you like to do for fun? Yuri asked, trying to

start a conversation with Jessica.

Sleep. Jessica quickly replied. Oh and eat. She added.

Jessicas odd and cold personality didnt cause Yuri to lose interestin talking to her but actually raised her curiosity in getting to knowJessica more.I wonder how the icy Jessica and the hyperactive

Tiffany became best friends. Yuri thought to herself as she

continue to observe and compare the two.

After a whole night of interruptions the girls and Junsu returned to

the university where they all went back to their room.

***

With her habit of taking a shower before bed, Tiffany grabbed her

pajamas and towel and headed for the bathroom door. This time

she checked to see if the occupied light was on, which it wasnt.

But once she opens the door she saw Taeyeon was about to walk in

as well.

The light wasnt on this time! Tiffany defends herself.

I didnt say anything. You go ahead then. Taeyeon said and was

about to headed back to her room when she heard Tiffanys voice.

It was you on the bridge, wasnt it?


31/220

I dont know what youre talking about. Then she steps out ofthe bathroom.

Keep denying it. I know it was you. Tiffany mumbled to herselfas she enters the shower stall.

***

Can you please wrap it for me? Its a gift for someone. Tiffany

asked the employee at a store. It seems like she was in a cell phonestore since there were lots of cell phone accessories hanging on the

wall as well as many new phones in the glass display cabinet.Tiffany sighs and mumbled I was saving for a new itouch but Iguess Ill just stick with my ipod nano. She sighs again.

After the employee came back with the wrapped box, Tiffany paid

the employee and left the shop.

***

It was about 9 AM when Tiffany got back to their dorm. When she

opens the door, she noticed that Jessica was still lying in her bed.Of course, she thought.

Tiffany, where did you go so early in the morning? Jessica said

half awake, as she looks at Tiffany.

Oh, I just wanted to look around the school so I wont get lost

when classes start. Tiffany smiled nervously.

Whats that in your hand? Jessica questioned.

Oh, nothing. Its nothing. Go back to sleep Jessica. Tiffany

suggested.


32/220

Ok.

Chapter 07

Tiffany put her bags down then with the box still hiding from

Jessica, she left the room again. Obviously she has bought a new

phone for Taeyeon and is now looking for her. She knocks on the

door of Taeyeons and Yuris room. No one answered. She knocks

again. Still no one answered.

Maybe theyre down the cafeteria? Tiffany wondered then

headed for the cafeteria. But before reaching the cafeteria, she sawTaeyeon and Yuri leaving the cafeteria, heading towards herdirection. Perhaps they were returning to their dorm. Just when

Tiffany was about to call out Taeyeons name, Junsu came out of

no where and got Taeyeons attention. She saw Yuri walked away

leaving them alone then Taeyeon and Junsu walked towards the

stairs away from the crowd. Without knowing why, Tiffany had

sneaked behind the door close by and overheard their conversation.

What is it, Junsu? Taeyeon asked.

I got something for you. Then he pulled a box out from behind

him. I know that you dont have a phone anymore so I bought you

this. Junsu said then handed the box to Taeyeon as he smiles to

her.

Oh my gosh, he bought her an iphone! Aish that guy. Tiffany

thought as she looks down at the phone she bought Taeyeon. Imsure that iphone is better than this pathetic phone.

Woah! Its the cool iphone that was on those commercials!

Taeyeon got really excited about the phone, but then calmed down

again.


33/220

Just look as how happy she is. I guess she wont want my phone

anymore. Tiffany thought and sadly walked back to her room.

Junsu, I dont deserve this kind of present from you. I cant takeit. Taeyeon handed the box back to him.

Its no biggie. As long as you like it, its okay. Just take it. Well, I

have to go now. Avoiding of getting rejected, Junsu shoved the

box to Taeyeon then quickly walks away.

Junsu! Junsu! Taeyeon shouted but Junsu just kept walking

away. She sighs then walks back to her room.

***

So what did you guys talk about? Did he ask you out? Yuri

asked as Taeyeon came in the room.

Dont tease me. Im already annoyed. He gave me this iphone butI dont want to take it. Taeyeon said as she puts the box on her

desk.

Oh, that phone is really expensive! You can listen to music and

surf the internet on it. Yuri complimented the phone as she looks

at the box.

I know, but if I take it, its like giving him hope. And I dont wantthat. Taeyeon reasoned.

***

Where did you go again? With that box? Dont think Im blind, I

saw it the first time. Jessica interrogated Tiffany as she came in

the door with the cell phone box in her hand. Tiffany didnt answer


34/220

and just sat down on her bed leaving the box on her bed. By the

time Jessica noticed Tiffanys sad face, she realized somethingmust have happened. She didnt say anything. Shes never like that

unless its something serious. Jessica thought. Tiffany ah, whats

wrong? Jessica asked as she stood up and sat down on the bednext to Tiffany.

Nothing. Nothings wrong. Im fine. Tiffany replied and forced

out a smile on her face.

Alright then, but if you want to talk, you can always talk to meok? Just not when Im sleeping or when Im eating. Jessica joked

as she stood up and walked back to her bed.I know shes not fine. Ican tell that her smile was forced. Ive known her long enough to

be able to tell the difference between her hyperactive smiles and

her forced ones. But I wont force her to tell me now. She thought.

Tiffany lied down on her bed and faced the ceiling when she

thought to herself,Jessicas right. Whats wrong with me? Why am

I acting this way over a person Ive just known? Aish forget it,

Tiffany. Youre A ok! Yeah! Im the Fany Fany Tiffany, I will

always be happy. And she smiled again to herself.

Tiffany, lets go out again tonight. What do you think? Jessica

suggested, thinking that it would make Tiffany feel better. And

maybe we could invite Yuri and Taeyeon too, since you like it

when there are more people.

I knew Jessica was trying to make me feel better and if I refused it

would only convince her that there IS something wrong with me.Tiffany thought as she replied Are you serious, Jessica? Ofcourse! Yay!

***


35/220

It was dinner time and there was no way Jessica could miss such a

crucial time of the day. She and Tiffany went to the cafeteria andto have dinner when they saw Yuri and Taeyeon and invited them

to sit with them.

Hey Tiffany, Jessica. Yuri said as she sat down on her chair.

Would you guys want to go with us to the shopping center after

dinner? Tiffany excitedly asked.

Im interested! You, Taeyeon? Yuri turned to Taeyeon and askedexcitedly.

Yeah, Ill go. Taeyeon replied.

So after they finished eating dinner and getting their things, the

four of them took a taxi to the shopping center.

HmmI think it would be better if we split up since we might not

like where the other person want to go. Yuri suggested.

Yeah, thats fine. Let us trade phone number so we can regroup

later. Tiffany said as she pulls out her phone.

Here is my number, Yuri showed Tiffany her phone and she and

Tiffany exchange their numbers.

And here is mine, Jessica exchanged number with Yuri.

Yeah, just in case she goes off to some hotel or restaurant withouttelling us. Tiffany joked only to find Jessicas slap on hershoulder.

Well, in that case. Ill just stick with Yuri since I dont have a

phone. Taeyeon said surprising Tiffany.


36/220

You dont have a phone? Tiffany surprised and asked again.

You know that I dont. Taeyeon reinstates herself.

I dont know why but when she told us that she still doesnt have a

phone, it made me smile. Tiffany thought to herself as she smiled

and Jessica took notice of her smile.

After that, they split up and shop in pairs. Taeyeon with Yuri and

Tiffany with Jessica. That night, Jessica noticed how Tiffanyshifted from forcing out her smiles to the hyperactive Tiffany that

she has always known. She felt that it had to do with Taeyeonsomehow but couldnt figure out what it is. When it was time toregroup again, Taeyeon and Yuri came back with a few bags in

their hands and so did Tiffany and Jessica.

Are you girls ready to go home? Tiffany asked.

Yuri takes a look at her phone and it was already 10 PM. Yeah,its getting late. We should head back now.

And as they walk out of the shopping center to find a taxi, Tiffanyrushed to Taeyeons side.

So, you havent gotten a new phone? Tiffany asked.

Where do you think I have the money to buy a new one?Taeyeon gave Tiffany a sarcastic reply. Although she meant to

sound mean, it only made Tiffany smiles.

Gosh, she IS weird. Why would she smile at my sarcasm? Taeyeon

thought.

Thats great. Tiffany mumbled to herself.


37/220

What did you say? Taeyeon asked.

Oh, nothing. Just nothing. Tiffany denied then smiled at Taeyeon

again.

And for the first time, Taeyeon couldnt hold her smile in and

smiled at Tiffany. But it wasnt because she thought Tiffany was

cute. She smiled because she doesnt know what shes going to do

with this hyperactive weirdo next to her. She is truly amazingly

weirdshe thought as she shook her head in disbelief.

Chapter 08

Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone was knocking on the doors of

Tiffanys and Jessicas room, disturbing the two sleepy heads. It

was about 8:30 AM.

Tiffany was too excited last night that she didnt sleep till 2 in themorning thus she is really tired and does not wish to be awakened.

Jessica didnt stay up that late but since shes the sleeping beauty,

she never wishes to be awakened.

Jessica, answer the door, Tiffany whines as she covers her face

with her blanket.

No, you go. Jessica replied as she went back to sleep.

Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone knocked again.

Aish! Tiffany grumbles as she gets on her feet and headed for

the door a quarter awake three quarters asleep. Who is it? She

opens the dooronly to find that no ones there. UGH. Tiffany,

frustrated went back to her bed when she heard the knocking again.


38/220

Who is it?! Tiffany screamed as she headed for the door again.

Its me Yuri, Yuris voice was heard. But when Tiffany opens

the door, no one was there.

Yuri, dont play games with me. Where are you? The furious

and tired Tiffany yelled.

Over here, in the bathroom. Yuri said.

Tiffany closed the front door then walked towards the bathroomdoor. Once she opens the door she finds Yuri standing there.

What is it, Yuri? Tiffany asked making a face.

Im sorry, did I wake you guys up? I thought you guys would be

up by now. You look very tired what did you do last night? Yuri

asked as she saw Tiffanys pair of panda eyes.

I was on the computer last night and didnt sleep till 2, and our

sleeping beauty over there doesnt usually wake up till a minutebefore we go somewhere. Tiffany said as she wipes her eyes.

Well, I just wanted to invite you guys to have breakfast with us.Yuri said.

Im ready! Jessica shouted as she walked towards the bathroom

where Tiffany and Yuri were standing.

Woah. Yuri commented as she laughs along with Tiffany.

Yeah, I almost forgot that she loves food. She smiled againlooking at Jessica wiping her eyes. Though she looks sleepy, she

rather eats then to continue sleeping. She is oddbut unique in a

way. Yuri thought. So I guess you guys are going?


39/220

Tiffany yawns as she stretches her arms out and said I guess so.

Well meet you guys at the door in 5 minutes.

Ok. Yuri respond then went back to her room so Tiffany and

Jessica could wash up and get ready.

Within 5 minutes Tiffany and Jessica changed, washed up, and

went to Taeyeons and Yuris room through the bathroom doors.

Wheres Taeyeon? Tiffany asked as she looks around the room.

And finally her eyes came across the iphone box on Taeyeonstable.

Ah, Taeyeon went to the convenient store close by to buy a fewthings. Shell meet us down in the cafeteria in a bit. Yuri said as

she brushes her hair while facing the mirror.

Whos iphone is this? Tiffany asked as she picks up the box.

Oh, Junsu gave it to Taeyeonwell he didnt give it to herheshoved it to her without letting her reject it. Taeyeon didnt want it

since she thinks it would only give him hope.

She didnt want to accept it? But she looked so happy to me when

he gave it to her. Tiffany thought.

Yuri replied as she walks towards Jessica who was standing there

quietly again. Im still amazed by how you can wake up that fast.She joked.

Food is the magic alarm to me, thats all. Jessica replied.

Ok, lets go! Tiffany suggested.

When Tiffany Yuri and Jessica arrived at the cafeteria, they saw


40/220

Taeyeon heading towards their way.

Hey guys, Taeyeon said as she walks over.

And so they ate breakfast and started to head back towards theirroom when Yuri suggested that they should all go to the theme

park. How could Tiffany refuse such a chance to play around? She

quickly agrees with Yuri. Taeyeon also wanted to have some fun

so she said she would go. Jessicas the only one left that didnt feel

too great about going.

Its going to be really hot, Jessica said though she knows there

was no way Tiffany would let her off the hook.

Jessica, come on go with us. Tiffany said.

Yeah, Jessica go with us, Yuri said then she thought of

something there are going to be lots of food there. And well go to

dinner right afterward.

Ok, Im in. Jessica replied.

Good job, Yuri! then Tiffany did a high five with Yuri. Youvealready figure out how to deal with our sleeping beauty. She

joked.

***

Hey, lets go on that ride! Taeyeon excited pointed to therollercoaster.

Ive had enough of intense rollercoaster today. Yuri shook herhead and refused to go.

I dont want to go either. Its getting too hot, I want to go in the

castle over there. It looks cooler. Jessica said as she pointed the


41/220

castle.

Ill go with you, Taeyeon. I want to go on this ride too. Tiffany

said. There is no ride on the world that she would say no to.

Well then, Ill go with Jessica to the castle while you guys go on

the rollercoaster. Well meet again here after were done with our

rides, how about that? Yuri suggested.

Yeah, that sounds good. Lets go then. Taeyeon said as she and

Tiffany gets in line for the rollercoaster ride while Yuri and Jessicahead towards the castle.

Since today is a weekday, there werent many people so the linedid not take long. After the ride was over, Taeyeon and Tiffany

walked out with a smile on their faces.

That was a really cool ride. Tiffany said.

Wanna go again? Taeyeon excitedly suggested. Tiffany noddedand they both went in for another time on the rollercoaster.

***The castle that Jessica wanted to go to was actually a haunted

house attraction. But they did not know since they went in without

looking at the sign.

It is much cooler in here, Jessica said.

Yeah, but isnt it a bit too cool? Yuri questioned.

Suddenly, a fake skeleton falls down from the ceiling in front of

their faces causing both Yuri and Jessica to scream their heads off

and jumped into each others arms. After 10 seconds, they calmed

down and looked at each other but still not dare to move. Yuri was


42/220

brave enough to look at the skeleton and noticed it was fake.

Its fake. Yuri saidthen slowly Jessica lets go of Yuri. I think

were in some sort of haunted house. Then she looked around and

saw a sign, and read it aloud You may not turn around. You canonly proceed. But if you are already too scared to continue, the exit

door is to your left. Yuri turns to her left and spot a door thats

marked exit. The exit is this way, do you want to go on or get

out? Yuri asked.

Lets get out. Its scary in here. Jessica replied causing Yuri tochuckle.

As cold and odd of a person she is, its interesting to see her

scared face. Yuri thought as she smiled and exit through the door

with Jessica.

Chapter 09

Yuri and Jessica finally got out of the haunted house and so theyheaded back to the place where theyll be meeting Taeyeon and

Tiffany. But once they got to the place, Taeyeon and Tiffany was

nowhere in sight.

Hmm, do you think theyre still on the ride? Yuri asked.

Maybe. Lets wait for them, here. Jessica suggested.

Jessica, you have a really sweet voice, you should talk more

often. Yuri said as she looks at Jessica.

Im not interested in anything nor do I care about anything to say

anything. Jessica responded.

Well, at least youre talking to me now. Yuri smiled.


43/220

Yuris words seem to shock the emotionless Jessica. Shes right.

Besides Tiffany, I usually dont talk to anyone. And why is she

trying so hard to talk to me when Ive been so cold to her. Jessica

thought as she reply, `Because you ask too many questions!

The sight of the normally quiet and emotionless Jessica getting

frustrated made Yuri smiles. And as Yuri look around she saw

Taeyeon and Tiffany walk out from the rollercoaster ride. They

seem very happy and are talking and smiling to each other. Ya!

Over here! She yells to get Taeyeons and Tiffanys attention.

The ride was really fun, you guys totally missed out! Tiffanystated.

Yeah. Tiffany and I had so much fun. Taeyeon commented, So

how was the castle thing that you guys went to? Taeyeon added.

Both Yuri and Jessica looked at each other with the I-dont-want-

to-let-them-know-that-we-were-scared look. It was ok. Nothingtoo exciting, but like Jessica said it was cooler than standing

outside. Yuri said. So I see that you guys are fine now? Yuri

asked trying to change the subject.

Taeyeon looked at Tiffany and finally realizes how she was talking

and laughing with Tiffany the whole time. I guess so. She replies

as she notices Tiffanys face brighten.

Thats good to hear. Yuri said then she noticed how Jessica was

staring at the food court. HmmIm getting hungry. Lets eatover there in the food court.

Everyone agrees with Yuri and headed over to the food court.

There they got their food and sat down at a table. Taeyeon and

Yuri on one side facing Tiffany and Jessica on the other.


44/220

Today was really fun! Tiffany asserted as she took a bite into herfood.

Yeah, it was. Im glad we got to do something like this beforeschool starts. Taeyeon agreed.

What about you, Jessica? Still preferred to stay back at the

dorm? Yuri teased. Although she did have a bit of fun, Jessica

nodded to confirm her anti-social life style.

Im going to use the restroom so would you guys excuse me.

Tiffany said then smiles. But as she was about to leave, a guybumped into her from the back. It caused her to lose her balanceand fell forward toward Taeyeon, who at the time was drinking her

cup of water. The falling Tiffany knocked over the cup and

splashed water all over Taeyeons face. Oh my gosh. Im so sorry,

I didnt mean to! Tiffany quickly apologizes. But is that enough?

Ya! Hwang Tiffany! Taeyeon screams as she wipes her face witha napkin. Youre so dead. She added.

Uh oh. Tiffany let out as she ran for her life while Taeyeon ranafter her with a cup of water.

Ya! Come back here! Taeyeon shouts as she chased after

Tiffany. They went round and round and round then finally

Taeyeon caught up to Tiffany and pour the cup of water overTiffanys head.

Ya! It wasnt even my fault! Tiffany yelled back as she wipesthe water off her face and saw Taeyeon sticks her tongue out. If I

dont get you back, Im not Tiffany! And with that Tiffany chased

Taeyeon back to their table.


45/220

Kids, stop playing around. Yuri shouted.

Ya, were even now. Stop chasing me! Taeyeon screamed.

Fine! Tiffany said. And as they both return to the table, Tiffanysecretly pour water on her bottles cap. She waited till Taeyeon sat

down then splashed it in her face. Now, were even. Then both

she and Taeyeon stick their tongues out to each other.

If I didnt know better, I would think that you guys had been

friends for a while. Yuri chuckled at the sight in front of her.

If youre going to be her friend, you have to prepare yourmentality. Jessica said. Whoa, she actually used sarcasm thistime. Is she finally opening up to Yuri and Taeyeon?

What mentality? Clueless of what Jessica is trying to say,

Tiffany asked.

That shes going to be annoyed to death like me. Jessica added.

Jessica! Tiffany grumbled.

By the way Jessica talked today Yuri let out a smile on her face.

Shes finally open herself up to us. Yuri thought.

***

It is now 10 PM and the girls have all showered and were getting

ready to sleep. When Tiffany saw Jessica get on her bed, she tookthe wrapped box and walk in the bath room. She knocks on thedoor to Taeyeons and Yuris side and waited till someone opens

the door. It was Taeyeon, the person who Tiffany was hoping to

see.


46/220

Come in here, I have something for you. And close the door.

Tiffany said softly, not trying to wake anyone up.

What is it? Taeyeon got in the bath room and closed the door

behind her. Are you trying to be pervy in here? Taeyeon joked.

Yes. Tiffany replied causing Taeyeons eyes to widen. Just

kidding. She said and smiled at Taeyeons reaction. Here, I got

something for you. Tiffany handed the wrapped box to Taeyeon.

What is it? Taeyeon asked as she took the box.

Open it.

And so Taeyeon unwraps the box and discovers a new phone box.

It wasnt the newest style like the iphone but it was still very high-

tech. Taeyeon was surprised when she saw the box then look at

Tiffany. Whats the meaning of this? She asked.

Its for you. Since I made you lose your phone, Im giving youanother phone. Tiffany explained.

I cant take this. It looks expensive. Besides, you didnt have tobuy me another phone. Although I said all those things, I didnt

expect you to buy me a new phone. Taeyeon said.

Just take is as my Christmas, Birthday, and New Year gift for

you. Since I dont have anymore money to buy you more gifts.Tiffany frowns.

Taeyeon chuckled. Ya, Tiffany. Youre so weird. Ok, Ill take it.She replied.

And you have to use it. Tiffany added.

Taeyeon rolls her eyes. Youre so much troubles. Fine. Taeyeon

said then opens the box and takes out the phone. She turns thephone on then asked Whats your number? Tiffany grabbed the

phone and saved her number in Taeyeons new phone phonebook.

Fany? Taeyeon asked looking at the name Tiffany has savedherself under.

Uh huh. Tiffany nodded then did her signature move Fany Fany

Tiffany! Then she smiles again.

Taeyeon couldnt hold in her laughter and laughed. Ya, Tiffany.Youre supposed to be going to college? Taeyeon joked causing

Tiffany to stick her tongue out.

Meany. Well, Im going to sleep. Tiffany said as she turns

towards her bathroom door.

Thanks, by the way. Taeyeon added just before Tiffany opens

the bathroom door. And so Tiffany turned around and gave

Taeyeon another smile then return to her room.

Chapter 10

the fun ended when school officially starts. Since all the freshmen

will be taking the same 5 subjects, classes are divided by the

stories of the dorm. So those students living on the same story will

be having those 5 classes at the same time together. Those subjectsinclude Science, Math, History, English, and Tiffanys worst

nightmare, Hangul. Also everyone was required to participate in asport that they might like.

Jessica! Jessica, wake up! If you want to eat breakfast you need to

wake up now! There is only 30 minutes left before class starts!

Tiffany yells as she shakes Jessicas body back and forth.


48/220

How about you go buy me food while I stay in bed for another 20minutes? Jessica nags, still with her eyes shut.

No way! Ya! Wake up already! If you dont Im going to giveyou a body slam like on WWE! Ya! Tiffany yelled again still

shaking Jessicas body.

Ok. Ok. Ill wake upin 5 minutes.

No! Youre going to wake up now! Tiffany screamed again anddragged Jessica off her bed, making her body hit the ground. Still,

Tiffany didnt bother and dragged her in the bathroom. Wash up!

Jessica hasnt woken up yet? Yuri said as she peaked into the

bathroom. After she saw Jessica lying on the ground, she found the

answer. Need some help? Yuri asked. After Tiffany had nodded,

Yuri came back to her room to get something then brought it back

in the bathroom. The thing that Yuri came back with was nothing

else but her breakfast. She kneeled down to Jessicas level then ateher breakfast in front of her Jessicas eyes with a smile on her face.

Ya! How dare you eat in front of me?! Jessica yelled.

I guess shes up now. Ill go back to my room and get ready. Ill

see you guys in class later. Yuri said then walks back to her room.

Ya, Jessica. Hurry up and get ready. Tiffany commanded.

Fine.

After Jessica got ready, they only had 20 minutes left before school

officially begins though its not another 10 minutes till students

need to be in class. After they grab a quick bite for breakfast,

Tiffany and Jessica rushed to their class. When they came in, they


49/220

saw Taeyeon and Yuri sitting in the right corner, and it seems like

theyve saved Tiffany and Jessica both a spot. Tiffany and Jessicaquickly get seated when the class bell rang. Tiffanys behind

Taeyeon and Jessicas behind Yuri. It is now math class.

That was so close! Its all your fault Jessica. Tiffany stated

though quietly, not wanting to disturb.

Im sorry; Ill try to wake up earlier tomorrow. Jessica replied

softly.

Try? You WILL wake up earlier tomorrow. Tiffany emphasized.

Good morning class. The teacher greeted the class.

Good morning teacher. The students replied.

How is your first day so far in college? Well since today is just

the first day, I will let you all have 30 minutes to chat at the end of

class. But as of right now, I will go over the classroom rules andwhat materials are needed in this class. The teacher announced

and begins his lecture.

After the teacher finished there was still 30 minutes left and the

teacher did as he promised and let them chat.

I hope there wont be homework from any other class. Tiffany

said hopefully.

Yeah, I hope so too. Yuri added. Hey, have you guys chosenwhat sport you will participate in?

Tennis! Both Tiffany and Jessica replied at the same time. But

they didnt seem surprised that the other said the same thing that

they did.


50/220

Wow, did you guys plan that? Yuri joked.

Well, back in the States, Jessica and I were double partners for

our middle school tennis team. Although she left, I still continue toplay tennis in high school. So Im definitely going to continue

playing tennis. Tiffany answered then turns to Jessica, Oh yeah,

Yuri. There is another thing that Jessica likes to do besides

sleeping and eatingand thats tennis! But only at times since she

still prefers to sleep and eat over tennis. She joked.

Really. Yuri and I were doubles partner in high school. Yuri, do

you want to play tennis again? Taeyeon jump in finally. Shesbeen sitting at her desk pretty dazed out.

Since you three are going to, I cant be left out. Ill join tennis

too! Yuri agrees.

Taeyeon ah, you look troubled. Are you ok? Tiffany asked.

Huh? I look troubled? Im fine Fany ah. Taeyeon replied then

forced out a smile to cover her troubled mood.

Taeyeon ah?

Fany ah?

When did you two become so close? Yuri asked as she looksback and forth between Taeyeon and Tiffany.

Why are you so surprised? Its not like we were enemies oranything. Taeyeon said creating a suspicious look on Yuris face.

Well, anyways. Im glad you guys are friends now. Yuri smiled

then she looked over at Jessica who was falling asleep on her desk.


51/220

No wonder I stopped hearing her voice. I wonder when she fell

asleep. Yuri thought. Look guys. She pointed over to thesleeping beauty, Jessica.

A little bit later, the bell rang and everyone gets up and walkstowards their next class. Tiffany noticed that Taeyeon still looks

troubled though she said everything is fine. She knows

somethings troubling her but doesnt know what it is.

While theyre walking to their next class, Taeyeons new phone

vibrated and so she took and out. She got a new text message. Butwho else knows her new number besides Tiffany. Taeyeon read the

message to herself, Ya, Taeyeon. Why arent you telling mewhats wrong? You suck so badly at lying. If you want to make mebelieve that everythings fine then dont carry such a long face.

Tiffany. The simple message took Taeyeon about 2 to 3 minutes

to understand since some words were misspelled and some

grammars were out of place. Taeyeon shook her head at Tiffanys

poor Hangul. Then she texted Tiffany back with the message Ill

tell you later. And YOU, you suck so badly at Hangul! XP.Taeyeon.

Ya, Taeyeon. When did you get a new phone? How come I didntknow about it? Yuri asked surprisingly when she saw Taeyeons

phone.

Ohthis? Tiffany bought it for me. Taeyeon replied with a bit

of arrogance on her face.

Oooh Yuri said then added No wonder you two are so closenow.

What? You make it sounds like Im such a shallow person.

Taeyeon said.


52/220

I knew it! It was that box that you brought back that morning,

wasnt it? Jessica claims. And all Tiffany did was smiles back.

Wait. Youre going to use her phone and not Junsus phone?

What are you going to do about him? Yuri asked.

Suddenly, Taeyeons mood dropped again. I dont know.

Taeyeon sighed.

After reading the text message that Taeyeon had sent her, Tiffany

giggled a little. Then she noticed that Taeyeons mood drop whenYuri mentioned Junsu and so she knew that Junsu has something to

do with Taeyeons troubled mood.

While they were walking towards their class, Junsu was watching

Taeyeon from far away.

Its her again. He mumbled to himself. Always interrupts me

and Taeyeon.

Chapter 11

Finally, the school day was over. The four girls didnt have much

homework other than getting all the materials needed for each

class. As the girls head back to their dorms after the final bell has

rang, Taeyeons phone vibrated again. She took it out and noticedthat she has a new text messagefrom Tiffany. She read the text

to her Meet me in the bathroom right when we both settle in ourrooms. She turned to Tiffany with a questioning face to whyTiffany had sent her such a text. Tiffany acts dumb and continues

to walk. The second Jessica enters the room, her body was already

on the bed. Tiffany puts down her things then went into the

bathroom and waits for Taeyeon. Taeyeon settled in then came into


53/220

the bathroom when she saw Tiffany standing there. What Taeyeon

didnt know was that Yuri had already noticed that the occupiedlight was on. Wait Taeyeon, someones in there! Oh no she went

in. Yuri thought.

So whats going on? Taeyeon asked.

You told me youd tell me why you look troubled. So tell me.

Tiffany said though she already has a clue of whats going on.

Oh. About that. Taeyeon said. Well, its nothing serious.

Dont think you can walk out of here without telling me. Tiffanydemanded with her hands on her waist.

Fine. Taeyeon grumbled. Well, its like thisbefore school

started today

***Flashback***

Taeyeon! Junsu shouted as he ran towards Taeyeon.

Oh. Junsu. Whats up? Taeyeon asked.

Did you get my text? He asked.

What text? Taeyeon asked back with a clueless look on her face

as she pulls out her phone. Oh no. Im not using his phone. Ah,

Kim Taeyeon. Nice going. Taeyeon thought.

Junsu noticed her phone and his face sadden. Did you get a newphone? He finally asked.

Oh, this. II actually got it before you gave me the iphone, thats

why I didnt want to take your iphone. Taeyeon lied.


54/220

Oh. Really? He mumbled. Well, its fine. He forced out asmile. I just want to ask if you want to go out with me again

tonight. Just me and you. He asked with a hopeful smile on his

face.

Um, Im not sure. Im afraid not. Im just worried that the

teachers will assign a lot of homework.

How about I come to your dorm and ask you later today? Then

you can give me a solid answer, ok? Well I have to go to classnow. Ill talk to you later! Junsu, once again insisted, and then

quickly walks away without letting Taeyeon reject him.

***End of Flashback***

OhBut I dont get it. If he hasnt successfully asked you out

ever since high school, shouldnt he catch on that youre not

interested? Tiffany questioned.

Tell me about it.

Just tell him you like someone else already. Tiffany suggested.

But I dont! And what if he asks about that person? Taeyeon

replied, That wouldnt do.

Oh, I got an idea! Taeyeon, you dont have your racket with you,right? Tiffany asked. When Taeyeon shook her head, Tiffany

continued. Me neither. We should all go to the sport shop close byand buy our rackets before Junsu gets here.

But then it would be rude since he told me he would come by.

Taeyeon protested.


55/220

Just leave a note on the door that I dragged you out. Ok, lets do

it. Ill get Jessica. Tiffany insisted.

Gosh you guys are so much alike. Never give me a chance to say

anything. Taeyeon grumbles then walk out of the bathroom.

Yuri has been staring at the bathroom door ever since Taeyeon

walk in. She couldnt hear anything but was wondering who was in

there with Taeyeon.I wonder who Taeyeons in there with. And

what are they doing in there? Oh shes coming out. Im going to

check who was in there. Oh Taeyeon, finally. I really need to go!Yuri said as she rushes toward the door.

Wait! Taeyeon screamed.I cant let her see Tiffany in there.

Shell think that we were doing something. Uh oh. Too late. She

has already opened the door.

Jessica? Yuri asked, surprised. She was expecting Tiffany since

she has been suspecting theres something going on with them.

What was Taeyeon doing with Jessica in the bathroom? Yurithought as she stares at Taeyeon.

Are we going, or not? Jessica turns to them and asked not evenbothered that they came in the bathroom when she was in there.

Go where? Yuri questioned as she gave Taeyeon her suspicious

look.

Oh. Well, since neither of us have our rackets. Tiffany and I

talked about going to get our rackets together at the sport shopclose by and before Taeyeon could finish her sentence she wasinterrupted by Yuri.

When did you guys talk about that? I was with you both the

whole time today. Yuri interrupts


56/220

We talkedover the phone. Yeah, over the phone. Taeyeonquickly made it up. Well, lets get ready, Yuri. She quickly

changes the subject. Phew. That was close. She thought.

Oookay. Yuri replied.Im watching you. Yuri thought.

Well within five minutes, they were all ready to go. Tiffany even

made a note saying Sorry Junsu, Tiffany dragged me to go with

her. I cant go out with you today. And taped it on Taeyeons

door. Twenty minutes after they left, Junsu came to the door andsaw the sign.

Tiffany again. Its her again. Why does she always have to messup everything I plan? Junsu grumbles as he walks back to his

dorm feeling both mad and disappointed.

***

The way to the sport shop, Taeyeon avoided any close contact withTiffany. Instead, she stays close to Jessica. She knows Yuri is

suspecting between her and Tiffany and thus believes that by

staying away from Tiffany, Yuri would lose her suspicion.However, by staying close with Jessica, Yuri even has a better

reason to keep an eye on her. Finally, they arrived at the store.

Oh, pink racket! Tiffany shouted then quickly grabs the pink

Prince racket off the shelf. Sica ah, doesnt this look like the oneback in the states? Tiffany asked showing Jessica the pink racket.

Jessica took a quick glance over it then replied, Looks like it.

Tiffany, do you like pink or something? Taeyeon asked since

how excited Tiffany is seeing a pink racket.


57/220

Have you not seen our room? Jessica questioned her back.

Taeyeon shook her head. Well you should come over, and look athow obsessed she is with that color. She added with sarcasm.

When she turns her head to look around the store, something

caught her eyes. She walks over to the shelf and grabbed a Headracket.

Oh, Ive always wanted a Head racket. Yuri said when she saw

Jessica grabbed the Head racket. As she looks around, she saw

another Head racket and grabbed it. I think Ill take this one.

Im getting this pink one. Tiffany said smiling excitedly with the

pink racket in her hand.

Im used to Prince so I guess Ill take this blue Prince racket.

Taeyeon said as she grabs a blue Prince racket. Ironically, its the

exact same style as the pink one that Tiffany has just picked out,

except blue.

After a few more minutes of browsing the girls check out with therackets that they chose. Tiffany and Taeyeon both got a Prince

racket while Yuri and Jessica both got a Head racket. After

checking out, the girls ate dinner at a close by restaurant then wenthome. As they walk past the school gate to enter the school, they

didnt notice that Junsu was staring out of his window and saw

Tiffany and Taeyeon happily walking with each other, not noticing

that they were separated by Yuri and Jessica. All he could felt was

anger.

***

The next morning when Tiffany wakes up, she noticed that theres

a letter by her door. She quickly picks up the letter and read it to

herself, Tiffany. Meet me behind the stairs on the second floor 30

minutes before class starts. Junsu.


58/220

Whats this all about? Tiffany scratched her head. She didntwant anyone else to know and quickly threw the letter away. Lets

see, what youre up to now. She mumbles to herself as she head

towards the bathroom to wash up.

Chapter 12

after Tiffany finished washing up she came back to the room to

wake Jessica up.

Jessica, wake up. Tiffany said shaking Jessicas body. Withoutpermission, Tiffany pulls Jessica up and dragged her to thebathroom. Suddenly Yuri opens the door. Yuri ah, can you help

me wake Jessica up? I know youre really good at it. Tiffany

asked.

Yuri stared at the sleeping Jessica on the floor and mocked, I

think she would prefer Taeyeon to wake her up, than me. Thenshe walks out of the bathroom. She must still be suspecting

something ever since last night.

At the time Taeyeon came in the bathroom and heard what Yuri

said. What are you talking about? She asked.

You know what Im talking about. Yuri added as she steps out of

the bathroom leaving Tiffany and Taeyeon in the bathroom withtheir clueless face. Oh, and the sleeping beauty is still on the

floorsleeping.

Tiffany then turns to Jessica and shouted, Jessica! If you dont

wake up, Im going to stuff cucumbers in your mouth!

Ya! How dare you?! Dont you know how much I hate


59/220

cucumbers?! Jessica shouted back as she stood up.

Hurry up and get ready already. Tiffany added, I have to go

somewhere a bit. Once I get back you must be ready.

Ok, ok already. Jessica complains as she washes her face.

Where are you going? Taeyeon asked, still in the bathroom.

Just somewhere! Tiffany said then with a smile she walked out

of the bathroom. She didnt want Taeyeon to know that shesmeeting up with Junsu.

***

When Tiffany arrived, she saw Junsu was standing there waiting

for her.

Tiffany. He said.

What do you want? Tiffany asked.

Ill just get straight to the point. He said. Well Im sure youknow that I like Taeyeon, right? And I just want to ask that you

could and would stop interrupting us. He finally spitted it out.

What are you talking about? Interrupting you guys? She

responded and acted dumb about what shes been trying to do.Im really sorry if I really interrupted you guys. I really didnt

mean to. Can you please forgive me? Im sorry. Im really sorry.Tiffany dramatically apologized with her tears-filled puppy eyes.

Junsu didnt know how he should react. He thought Tiffany would

blow him off or somethingnot like this. Err He said

scratching his head. Its ok, Tiffany. Im sorry, I didnt mean to


60/220

sound rude or anything. He apologized back to Tiffany. Just

please allow me to borrow Taeyeon a few times. Ok? He thenasked.

Of course! If Taeyeon wants to then definitely! Tiffany quicklyanswers with a smile on her face showing her smiley eyes. Yeah, if

she ever wants to hang out with you. Tiffany secretly thought

behind her smile.
