Taeyeon waved and waved at the aeroplane which was taking off. She looked through the thick glass walls, waving and smiling, hoping that she'd see her. The waving quickly became increasingly frantic and anxious, which eventually culminated in Taeyeon crying inconsolably like a baby, slumped against the cold glass walls of the airport.
It had been a year or so, you know, being in a 'relationship'.
Tiffany had always given her hope that everything would work out just fine in the end: smiling her little eye-smiles, saying, "I'll leave everything and run away to America! Just for you, with you." Taeyeon looked up at her with dead serious eyes, "Hm?" Tiffany, for the life of her, couldn't act serious. She hoped her impromptu bear hug and forehead kiss thereafter would convince Taeyeon of the seriousness of her promise. What she didn't notice, however, was Taeyeon's tight grip on her jacket lapel, Taeyeon's slight tear threatening to fall through her long eyelashes, Taeyeon's desperateness for that promise to come true, for them to be together forever.
This happened at the college library. Taeyeon was trying to immerse herself into Bernard Shaw, but all she could do, was to ogle shamelessly at her Tiffany. Her Tiffany was busily skimming and scanning the pages of five legal coursebooks simultaneously. And taking notes. And drafting the report. Finishing her final paper. "Done?" Taeyeon prods softly. No response. After an hour, Tiffany, gaze still locked in her coursework, said,"You do know how important a career is to me, right." Question? Wrong. It was cold, hard reality, bitch-slapped on to your face as a statement. But the sting comes a while after the slap, right? That's why Taeyeon felt nothing, blissfully humming in agreement and continuing to read Shaw.
And when the sting came.....oh, what a sting it was! It singed Taeyeon's small pink cheek. "The firm accepted me as their very first foreign intern!" announced Tiffany, prancing in joy. Taeyeon just smiled and acted happy for her Tiffany's sake. My Tiffany got a chance at her dream.....
Tiffany left everything and ran away to America, chasing her dream, but without Taeyeon, who knew that you should let go of the one you can't hold on to.
