Chapter 01
“Tiffany, why can’t you just stay home? I am really worried about you going to school in
Korea. Why can’t you just stay here, in America? You don’t even speak the language
well.” Said a man looking at a girl who seems to be his daughter. Surrounding them were
other passengers checking in at the airport, as well as their families. Her flight must be
either very early or very late since there aren’t that many people at the airport at this time.
His daughter quickly responded to her father, “Daddy! It’s 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 her feet. Tiffany, a girl with short brown hair,
doesn’t look tired at all despite the fact that she is at the airport either very early or very
late in the day. To be exact, she was quite excited before her dad began 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.
“It’ll be just fine Daddy. Jessica will be there, and she will be able to 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…”

“I have to go, Daddy!” She leaned over and gave him a hug. “I love you, Daddy. I’ll 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 Korea at 4:00 PM, her home
country. It took her about another hour to finish checking out and reclaimed her luggage.
One could be fooled by her one carry-on bag that she didn’t 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! I’m 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 her pair 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 slowed down, stopped in front of her, then got out of his
seat to help Tiffany with her two huge suitcases. After placing the suitcases in the trunk,
both the taxi driver and Tiffany entered the car.
“Where would you like to go, miss?” The taxi driver asked in Korean.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 4/252
Tiffany, sitting in the back seat, scratched her head then slowly responded back in Korean
“Star Hotel, please” in her huge American 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 “I’m 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 couldn’t 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, the taxi 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 ma’am, I do. My name is Tiffany Hwang.” Once again she used poor Korean. She
wasn’t afraid of getting embarrassed anymore. 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 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 she settled
in.
“Alright, I’ll give him a call before I go.” She took out the cell phone that her dad as
personally got for her that would work in Korea as well. She dialed her dad’s number and
waited till someone picked the phone up. “Hello? Daddy, it’s me Tiffany…Yes I’m ok.
Nothing happened. Everything went fine…Yes I’m settled in the hotel…No, I haven’t
called Jessica yet…I will I will in just a bit…Ok Daddy, I’ll let you get back to
work…Bye Daddy, I’ll 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 didn’t 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 hours walking around, buying things, eating, taking pictures and merely just
observing places.
“Omo, it’s Dennis O!” She squealed as she saw a poster of her idol Dennis O’neil 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 isn’t even tired yet. She
wants to observe the beautiful city light on that bridge that she has passed.
Finally she arrived at the bridge and stood on bridge looking down at 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 standing
about 10 meters down but she didn’t cared 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 can’t really see the girl’s face. She can see, though, that
the girl had a medium hair length to her shoulder and wasn’t 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 another adventurous day that it took her another hour to finally fall asleep.
***
“Ya! Tiffany, open the door!” A girl screamed from outside of Tiffany’s room as she
bangs against the door.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 7/252
“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! It’s me Jessica!” The girl
screamed again.
“Jessica? Oh…it’s Jessica. I don’t know a Jessica.” And as she was about to go back to
sleep, her eyes popped open. “Wait, Jessica?! I’m 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 her fingers 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 so…he never trust his daughter!”
Tired of standing she gave herself permission to sit on Tiffany’s bed. “Maybe it’s
because his daughter isn’t so smart that he has to worry about her all day and night.”
Jessica joked.
“Hey! Is this how you’re going to greet your childhood best friend?” She raised her
tone…but still rubbing her forehead.
“Why do you keep rubbing your forehead? What did you do? Let me see.” Pulling
Tiffany’s hand from her forehead, Jessica could see the bruise on Tiffany’s forehead. No
wonder she kept rubbing it. Must of hurt. “Ya! You got a bruise!” She yelled.
“What?! It’s all your fault! You swung the door open when I was right in front of it!
Ow…I 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 9/252
“Yeah, in my bag.”
“Here, let me help you.” Jessica walked in to the bathroom to help Tiffany with the pain
reliever cream. She squeezed out a bit of cream from the bottle then rubbed the cream
against Tiffany’s forehead.
While Jessica was rubbing the cream on her forehead, Tiffany eyes were on Jessica’s face
She hasn’t 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 Jessica’s face from her forehead down to her chin. Her
face is a bit different than before she thought, prettier to be exact.
“Jessica, you’re hot.” She finds herself saying it out loud then quickly covers her mouth.
“I know I am…” Jessica replied while still rubbing Tiffany’s forehead. “Since I’m at it,
would you like a kiss along with it?”
Tiffany quickly nodded with a smile on her face but only to find disappointment to come.
“You wish.” Jessica whispered as she backed away from Tiffany. “Your forehead should
be ok now. Hurry, get dressed, I’ll show you around Seoul.” Jessica demanded as she
smiled at Tiffany’s disappointed face.
After ten minutes, Tiffany has finished washing up and got dressed.
“Ok, I’m ready let’s go!” Tiffany excited said as she walked out of the bathroom. She had
on a pair of jeans and pink top.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 10/252
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 their future
university. It was Honey University.
“This is where we will be staying from tomorrow on for the next 4 years.” Jessica said.
“Wow, the school is beautiful! I’m going to have a great time here.” Excited Tiffany
claimed, not knowing all the hardshi p she’ll face later on.
“Yeah, you won’t say that anymore after we start class.” There Jessica goes again,
ruining the mood for Tiffany.
“Will we be roommates?” Tiffany asked.
“Yeah. With two other persons...kinda”
“What do you mean?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 11/252
“Well the building that we’re going to be in only has joint rooms. Meaning two rooms
separated only by a shared bathroom for all four of us.” Jessica sighed “I’d rather be by
myself.”
“Ay Jessica,” she nudged Jessica “You still haven’t changed a bit. Don’t be such a loner.”
“I’m not a loner. I’m already gonna share a room with you.” Jessica claims denying the
fact that she doesn’t like people very much. “Hey, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.” Jessica
demanded.
“Eat? Again? Didn’t we just eat?” Tiffany questioned Jessica eating habits.
“That was lunch, now it’s dinner time. Let’s go!” and so Jessica dragged Tiffany along.
***
“(in Korean)No appa, everything is fine here. Don’t worry about me…I will move into
the dorm tomorrow…Yes 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 her quickly grabbed her phone and ran.
“Ya! Come back! That’s 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 12/252
The girl kept chasing the girl thief into a park where the other girl thief slipped on the
watery ground. The girl who was chasing slowed down and walk towards the other girl
thief who was down on 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 you’re doing?!” said a third person with an extreme American accent
towards the girl who want her phone back. “Why are you bullying another girl?” It was
no one else but Tiffany. She was on her way back to the hotel with Jessica when the two
girls caught their attention.
“What?!” The girl asked, still breathing heavily from the running.
“Tiffany, don’t mind them. Let’s go home.” Jessica said her calmed voice, not wanting
bother other people nor to be bothered.
“You should go, I’ll 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 stick ing her tongue
out. Then the girl turned back to Tiffany, “What do you think you’re doing?! Do you
even know what’s going on?!” She screamed into Tiffany’s face with furious. Tiffany
didn’t seem to care what the girl was trying to tell her. “She took my phone, you idiot!”
She screamed again. “UHHH. This must be the most unluckiest day of my life!” The girl
ran towards the direction that the girl stole her phone went.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 13/252
Tiffany finally realized that she has misunderstood the whole situation and help the bad
girl get away. “Hey! I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” Tiffany apologized but the girl has
already left to chase the 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 person’s 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. She’s 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 let’s go home shall we?” Jessica forced out a smile because though she
asked…it 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 hotel’s lobby.
“Yuri? When did you get here? You should’ve told me to come and get you.” Taeyeon
replied in excitement as she hugs Yuri who was rushing towards her.
“I did! I called you many times but no one picked up. But it’s ok, I just got here.” Yuri
said as she let go of Taeyeon’s hug.
“Oh, yeah… I kinda don’t have my phone anymore.” Taeyeon mumbled and once again
felt her anger from the incident with Tiffany.
“Why? What happened?” Yuri asked curiously. And so Taeyeon retold what happened to
Yuri. “Oh my gosh, are you serious? I’m sorry such thing happened to you!”
“Well it’s over. Let’s go to our room and get us a goodnight sleep.” Taeyeon suggested
with a lightly forced smile on her face as she reach into her back pocket to get
her…wallet. “Wait, where’s my wallet? Ah, don’t tell me it fell out when I was chasing
that girl! Aish the room’s 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 desk to ask for another key.
“May I see your ID please?” The front desk lady asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 15/252
“But I lost my wallet and everything!” Taeyeon replied.
“I’m sorry but to prevent thieves faking as one of our guests we need to see their ID.”
The front desk lady responded. Though she pity Taeyeon, it’s against the hotel’s 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 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 to her room. Taeyeon helped Yuri with her luggage then
settled in the room where they spent the night together.
***
“Come on, hurry! You’re so slow, Jessica!” Tiffany nagged as she and Jessica pulled
their luggage towards the school gate. Though she had her two pink suitcases with her
she was still too hyper to get into her dorm. Even though she has already been in Korea
for 3 days and is about to start school, she refuses to use Korean towards Jessica.
“Why are you so hyper? We’re just moving in to SCHOOL. Not like going we’re going
on a vacation.” Jessica complained as she struggle with her own luggage.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here

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 room assignments 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 couldn’t 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 many eyes of curious students. And so they both got to their side of
the joint room and settled in.
“Let’s 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?!”
“Ya! Hwang Mi Young! We have 5 more days until school start to look around. Why
rush? Just let me rest, ok? Goodnight!” Jessica scold then pulled the blanket over her
head.
“Fine! I’ll 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 girl’s voice.
“Oh my gosh. I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you were there. Are you ok?” Tiffany quickly
responded back in English, forgetting that she’s in Korea and she wasn’t 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
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 17/252
English, “It’s 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. “I’m Tiffany. Nice to meet you too. Your name is YuRi?”
Again with her huge American accent and the English “r” in Yuri’s name. Then she held
out her hand and shook hand with Yuri who still looked confused. Oh wait, am I
supposed to bow? Aish Tiffany you need to learn all the traditions or else youd offend
someone! Tiffany thought.
“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 Tiffany’s
shoulder to see that Jessica’s sleeping on her bed. “Is that your roommate?” She then
asked.
“Oh Jessica? Yes, she’s my roommate. She’s 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 couldn’t wait to see new people and quickly said “Yes!” and followed
Yuri to her room.
“Taeyeon ah! Come meet our next door roommate!” Yuri said while opening the door to
their side of the room.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 18/252
Taeyeon was sitting on her bed unpacking her things. Once she heard Yuri’s 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, she quickly realized Taeyeon was the girl from yesterday.
“You! You’re that girl!” Taeyeon pointed as soon as she saw Tiffany’s face.
“You two know each other? How come I didn’t know this before?” Yuri asked.
“She’s 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 Tiffany, youre in trouble
already. Tiffany thought. “I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.” Tiffany apologized
again softly as she bends her head down.
“Sorry? Did you know how many meals I had to skip in order to save enough money for
that phone?!” Taeyeon screamed in Tiffany’s face.
“Ya, Taeyeon. It’s 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. “It’s okay Tiffany,”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 19/252
“But I found this though.” Tiffany said pulling out Taeyeon’s wallet. “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 don’t 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, don’t be mad at Tiffany anymore. Ok?” Yuri
said as she wrapped her arm around Taeyeon’s shoulder. “How about we go and get
lunch together?” Yuri suggested, hoping to be able to ease Taeyeon’s 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, it’s Tiffany’s roommate.” Yuri replied.
“Oh.”

Chapter 04
“Jessica. Wake up.” Tiffany taps Jessica’s shoulder to wake her up.
“Leave me alone.” Jessica replied as she pushes Tiffany off of her bed.
“We’re about to go eat, wouldn’t you like to join us?” Tiffany added 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’s we? I’m ready.” Jessica stood up all ready to go.
“That was fast.”
“Why are you talking to me in Korean? Don’t you know how horrible your pronunciation
is?” Jessica asked.
“Since I’m here, I’m going to have to use Korean. Come on let’s go.” Tiffany said as she
pulled Jessica outside of the room.
“You never told me who’s we’.” Jessica questioned Tiffany again not knowing she was
about to bump into someone.
“Ya, watch out. Yuri’s behind you.” Tiffany warned Jessica and so Jessica took a step
away from Yuri.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 21/252
“Hi! I’m Yuri, your next door roommate! Nice to meet you” Yuri excitedly introduced
herself as she did her greeting bow again like she did to Tiffany.
Jessica scanned Yuri from head to toe then finally said “Hi, I’m Jessica. 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 herself Wow, her Korean is perfect. And I thought she would
have an accent like Tiffany. And her voice is so sweet.
“I’m Taeyeon, I’m sure we’ve met before.” Taeyeon came from behind Yuri and
introduced herself to Jessica and they both did a light bow to each other. Jessica
recognized her but it didn’t bother it nor was she interested in knowing what has
happened between her and Tiffany.
“We’re going to eat lunch with Yuri and Taeyeon.” Tiffany added excitedly and jumped
up and down. But once she noticed the weird look on Taeyeon’s face she calmed down
and apologized “I’m 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 22/252
“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 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 to herself.
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 wasn’t 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, I’m done eating. You guys have fun, I’m going back to sleep.” 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
doesn’t 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 couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 23/252
“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.
They didn’t 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 time…a time to wash up before going to bed.
“Jessica, I’m going to take a shower first, ok?” Tiffany told Jessica who was lying on her
bed again, but this time she wasn’t 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 her body. And before she could react, Taeyeon turned
around and saw Tiffany at the door.
“Ya! Don’t you see the light’s 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 Taeyeon’s voice to blink and quickly turned around. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to. I
forgot to look.” 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? Tiffany thought 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
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 24/252
both of her hands on Tiffany’s cheek. “You’re burning up. Are you ok? Tiffany!” Waved
her hand back and forth in front of Tiffany’s face. “Tiffany! Come back!”
Tiffany finally snapped back from her daze. “I’m okay. Uh, Jessica, why don’t you
shower first?” After she finished her sentence Tiffany just walked towards her bed and
sat on it.
“Um, ok.” Jessica replied though she was curious about Tiffany who’s 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 also
opening the door to her side of the bath room.
“Oh, Jessica. Go ahead, I’ll just wait till you’re done.” Yuri said with courtesy and a
smile on her face.
“Ok, then.” Jessica replied without any emotion and went in the shower stall.
Since Jessica is now taking a shower, Yuri stepped back out to her side of the room.
“What’s 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 5 seconds before she could hear what I said.” Taeyeon
said.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 25/252
“Come on, Taeyeon. I’m sure you’ll forget to too one of these days. You’re just still
holding grudge against her.” Yuri insisted.
“She did cause me to lose my phone, didn’t she?” Taeyeon replied in her mocking tone.
And before Yuri could rebut, Taeyeon added “No more comments.”
After a while just sitting there and talking Taeyeon noticed the occupied light was turned
off and said “Hey, the light’s off. Go shower.”
“Ok.” Yuri responded then went in the bath room.
While on the other side, Tiffany was still sitting on her bed, dazed out.
“Ya, Yuri’s going to take her shower so you’ll 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 the sight of a guy walking
by. They were in the cafeteria eating lunch on their second day of moving in.
“Omo. Don’t 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 and quickly walked over
to their table.
Great. He caught me. Aish. Taeyeon thought as she forced out a fake smile. “Junsu. It’s
you. What are you doing here?” She questioned.
“Same thing you are. I’m going to be going to school here. Are you excited? Because I
am!” Junsu excited replied.
“Yeah, I’m really excited.” Taeyeon said sarcastically. I would be more excited if you
werent here, she thought.
“Oh, hey Yuri! How are you?” Junsu asked again very excited. Finally, there is someone
that’s as hyper as Tiffany.
“I’m fine, thank you.” Yuri replied with a smile.
“Ya Taeyeon, since school hasn’t started we should go out sometimes. I know a lot of
cool places in Seoul.” Junsu suggested.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 27/252
“Go out? Uh…yeah…sure…whenever.” Taeyeon expressed sarcastically
“Great! I’m free tonight. Let’s go out! I’ll wait for you at the school gate at 7, ok? Well,
I’ll see you then! Bye bye!” Junsu coerced then quickly walked away without giving
Taeyeon a chance to reject.
“Aish! What’s wrong with him?” Taeyeon whinned and stumbled her feet as he walks
away.
“So are you going?” Yuri asked.
“Let’s 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 in their cool air-conditioned room. It was now 5
PM.
“Jessica…Sica ahh.” Tiffany whines.
“What? What do you want?” Jessica groaned.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 28/252
“Can we go out today? And have some fun? Please?” Tiffany nags as she grabs a hold on
Jessica’s arm.
“Ya. Can’t you see I’m reading a book here? Don’t 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 Jessica’s right arm…the
one that’s holding on to the book, causing the book to swing back and forth in front of
Jessica’s face.
“Ya, stop it. I can’t read.” Jessica yelled as she tries to remove her arm out of Tiffany’s
tight grip.
“Jessica ahhh. Please? Pretty please? I will love you forever and ever and ever!” Tiffany
kept begging and nagging and whining as she shakes Jessica’s 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 Tiffany’s face brightens, Jessica added, “Once you finish
unpacking your two suitcases.” Causing Tiffany’s 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 Jessica’s arm and began to unpack her two
gigantic pink suitcases.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 29/252
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?
The hyperactive Tiffany was too desperate for some fun that she worked like a bunny on
caffeine. Within only two hours Tiffany has 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 that has 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! Let’s
go!” Tiffany excitedly showed Jessica who looked shock.
Oh no. I underestimated her. Jessica thought feeling like hitting herself 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 don’t want to go with him by myself.” Taeyeon plead.
“Ok, I’ll go with you.” Yuri happily replied since she knows how much Junsu bothers her
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 30/252
And so they both walked out of their room and headed towards the stairs. Just before they
pass by Tiffany’s and Jessica’s room, their door opens causing Taeyeon and Yuri to halt.
At this time Taeyeon saw 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.
“Where are you guys going?” Tiffany asked.
“We actually don’t know. A friend of us is taking us out and we’re wondering if you’d
like to join us.” Taeyeon replied.
Seeing Taeyeon’s odd behavior, Yuri pulled Taeyeon a step back and whispered, “Ya,
what are you up to?”
“With Tiffany hyperactive personality just like Junsu I’m sure they’ll get along and then
Junsu wouldn’t want to hang out with me anymore.” Taeyeon whispered back.
“I’m fine with that, what about you Jessica?” Tiffany turned towards Jessica.
“Yeah, sure. I don’t care.” Jessica replied without any emotions, still bothered by the fact
that she could be sleeping in her room now.
“Great. Then let’s go, Junsu’s waiting for us.” Taeyeon said as they headed for the school
gate.

Coincidentally Junsu passed the bridge that Tiffany was on, on her first day in Korea.
And as she looked out the window, she saw a couple 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! You’re 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 stare at 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.” Taeyeon lied again.
“Really? Well you look a lot like that girl.” Tiffany said though she still suspects that it
was indeed Taeyeon.
“We’re here!” Said Junsu as he parked the car and turn off the engine. “Let’s go in.” As
he got out of the car and quickly rushed to the other side to open Taeyeon’s 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 33/252
“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 uncomfortably replied. “Um, thanks
Junsu. But don’t do this again.”
“You don’t like flowers? I’ll find something different next time then.” Junsu smiled again
unable to see the discomfort in Taeyeon.
“Ya, Yuri ah. Do you know what’s going on?” Tiffany asked as she stares at Taeyeon and
Junsu walking a few steps ahead from her.
“Oh. Junsu has liked Taeyeon since high school. We believe that he came to this
university because of her. But Taeyeon never likes him. I wouldn’t 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, you’re so quiet.” She finally asked.
“I just don’t like to talk.” Jessica replied.
After Yuri finished her sentence, Tiffany came up with a plan in her head. She rushed
towards Taeyeon and Junsu and squeezed in between them, grabbing Taeyeon’s left arm
and Junsu’s right arm. “Hey, you’re Junsu, right?!” Tiffany smiled at Junsu showing her
smiley eyes again. “I forgot to introduce myself but I’m Tiffany, Taeyeon’s 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 34/252
“I heard you’re from the same high school as Taeyeon, right? Wow you’re 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 restaurant Tiffany 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 and ended
up sitting between them. She wasn’t 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 Tiffany’s shoulder and
asked “Taeyeon ah, do you think I can have you phone number so if we were to hang out
again, it would be easier to contact you.”
“Phone?” Tiffany once again interrupted. “Taeyeon doesn’t have a phone 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 her eyes.
“Wait, why not?” Junsu curiously asked.
“Someone took it from her.” Tiffany answered in place of Taeyeon.
“It’s a long story,” Taeyeon added.
“Oh yeah?” Junsu replied then smiled to himself. He must’ve thought of something. And
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 35/252
the whole night, Tiffany continued to interrupt Junsu and Taeyeon whereas Taeyeon
doesn’t mind that at all.
“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.
Jessica’s odd and cold personality didn’t cause Yuri to lose inter est in talking to her but
actually raised her curiosity in getting to know Jessica 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 wasn’t. But once she opens the door she saw Taeyeon was about to walk in as
well.
“The light wasn’t on this time!” Tiffany defends herself.
“I didn’t say anything. You go ahead then.” Taeyeon said and was about to headed back
to her room when she heard Tiffany’s voice.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 36/252
“It was you on the bridge, wasn’t it?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Then she steps out of the bathroom.
“Keep denying it. I know it was you.” Tiffany mumbled to herself as she enters the
shower stall.
***
“Can you please wrap it for me? It’s a gift for someone.” Tiffany asked the employee at a
store. It seems like she was in a cell phone store 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 I guess I’ll 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 37/252
“Oh, I just wanted to look around the school so I won’t get lost when classes start.”
Tiffany smiled nervously.
“What’s that in your hand?” Jessica questioned.
“Oh, nothing. It’s nothing. Go back to sleep Jessica.” Tiffany suggested.
“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 Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s room. No one answered. She knocks
again. Still no one answered.
“Maybe they’re down the cafeteria?” Tiffany wondered then headed for the cafeteria. But
before reaching the cafeteria, she saw Taeyeon and Yuri leaving the cafeteria, heading
towards her direction. Perhaps they were returning to their dorm. Just when Tiffany was
about to call out Taeyeon’s name, Junsu came out of no where and got Taeyeon’s
attention. She saw Yuri walked away leaving them alone then Taeyeon and Junsu walked
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 38/252
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
don’t 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. Im sure that iphone is better than this pat hetic phone.
“Woah! It’s the cool iphone that was on those commercials!” Taeyeon got really excited
about the phone, but then calmed down again.
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 don’t deserve this kind of present from you. I can’t take it.” Taeyeon handed the
box back to him.
“It’s no biggie. As long as you like it, it’s 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 39/252
***
“So what did you guys talk about? Did he ask you out?” Yuri asked as Taeyeon came in
the room.
“Don’t tease me. I’m already annoyed. He gave me this iphone but I don’t 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, it’s like giving him hope. And I don’t want that.” Taeyeon
reasoned.
***
“Where did you go again? With that box? Don’t think I’m 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 didn’t answer and just sat down on her bed leaving the box on her bed. By the
time Jessica noticed Tiffany’s sad face, she realized something must have happened. She
didnt say anything. Shes never like that unless its something serious. Jessica thought.
“Tiffany ah, what’s wrong?” Jessica asked as she stood up and sat down on the bed next
to Tiffany.
“Nothing. Nothing’s wrong. I’m fine.” Tiffany replied and forced out a smile on her face.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 40/252
“Alright then, but if you want to talk, you can always talk to me ok? Just not when I’m
sleeping or when I’m eating.” Jessica joked as she stood up and walked back to her bed. I
know shes not fine. I can 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? Of course! Yay!”
***
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 and to 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 41/252
“Would you guys want to go with us to the shopping center after dinner?” Tiffany
excitedly asked.
“I’m interested! You, Taeyeon?” Yuri turned to Taeyeon and asked excitedly.
“Yeah, I’ll go.” Taeyeon replied.
So after they finished eating dinner and getting their things, the four of them took a taxi
to the shopping center.
“Hmm…I think it would be better if we split up since we might not like where the other
person want to go.” Yuri suggested.
“Yeah, that’s 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 without telling us.” Tiffany
joked only to find Jessica’s slap on her shoulder.
“Well, in that case. I’ll just stick with Yuri since I don’t have a phone.” Taeyeon said
surprising Tiffany.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 42/252
“You… don’t have a phone?” Tiffany surprised and asked again.
“You know that I don’t.” 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 Tiffany shifted from forcing out her smiles to the
hyperactive Tiffany that she has always known. She felt that it had to do with Taeyeon
somehow but couldn’t figure out what it is. When it was time to regroup 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, it’s getting late. We
should head back now.”
And as they walk out of the shopping center to find a taxi, Tiffany rushed to Taeyeon’s
side.
“So, you haven’t 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.

“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 door…only to find that no one’s there.
“UGH.” Tiffany, frustrated went back to her bed when she heard the knocking again.
“Who is it?!” Tiffany screamed as she headed for the door again.
“It’s me Yuri,” Yuri’s voice was heard. But when Tiffany opens the door, no one was
there.
“Yuri, don’t 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 bathroom door. Once she opens the
door she finds Yuri standing there. “What is it, Yuri?” Tiffany asked making a face.
“I’m 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 Tiffany’s pair of panda
eyes.

“Ah, Taeyeon went to the convenient store close by to buy a few things. She’ll meet us
down in the cafeteria in a bit.” Yuri said as she brushes her hair while facing the mirror.
“Who’s iphone is this?” Tiffany asked as she picks up the box.
“Oh, Junsu gave it to Taeyeon…well he didn’t give it to her…he shoved it to her without
letting her reject it. Taeyeon didn’t 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. “I’m still
amazed by how you can wake u p that fast.” She joked.
“Food is the magic alarm to me, that’s all.” Jessica replied.
“Ok, let’s go!” Tiffany suggested.
When Tiffany Yuri and Jessica arrived at the cafeteria, they saw Taeyeon heading
towards their way.
“Hey guys,” Taeyeon said as she walks over.
And so they ate breakfast and started to head back towards their room 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
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 47/252
fun so she said she would go. Jessica’s the only one left that didn’t feel too great about
going.
“It’s 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 we’ll go to dinner right afterward.”
“Ok, I’m in.” Jessica replied.
“Good job, Yuri!” then Tiffany did a high five with Yuri. “You’ve already figure out how
to deal with our sleeping beauty.” She joked.
***
“Hey, let’s go on that ride!” Taeyeon excited pointed to the rollercoaster.
“I’ve had enough of intense rollercoaster today.” Yuri shook her head and refused to go.
“I don’t want to go either. It’s getting too hot, I want to go in the castle over there. It
looks cooler.” Jessica said as she pointed the castle.
“I’ll 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 48/252
“Well then, I’ll go with Jessica to the castle while you guys go on the rollercoaster. We’ll
meet again here after we’re done with our rides, how about that?” Yuri suggested.
“Yeah, that sounds good. Let’s go then.” Taeyeon said as she and Tiffany gets in line for
the rollercoaster ride while Yuri and Jessica head towards the castle.
Since today is a weekday, there weren’t many people so the line did 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 nodded and 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 isn’t 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 other’s arms. After 10
seconds, they calmed down and looked at each other but still not dare to move. Yuri was
brave enough to look at the skeleton and noticed it was fake.

“It’s fake.” Yuri said…then slowly Jessica lets go of Yuri. “I think we’re in some sort of
haunted house.” Then she looked around and saw a sign, and read it aloud “You may not
turn around. You can only 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 that’s marked “exit”. “The exit
is this way, do you want to go on or get out?” Yuri asked.
“Let’s get out. It’s scary in here.” Jessica replied causing Yuri to chuckle.
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 they headed back to the place
where they’ll be meeting Taeyeon and Tiffany. But once they got to the place, Taeyeon
and Tiffany was no where in sight.
“Hmm, do you think they’re still on the ride?” Yuri asked.
“Maybe. Let’s wait for them, here.” Jessica suggested.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 50/252
“Jessica, you have a really sweet voice, you should talk more often.” Yuri said as she
looks at Jessica.
“I’m not interested in anything nor do I care about anything to say anything.” Jessica
responded.
“Well, at least you’re talking to me now.” Yuri smiled.
Yuri’s 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 Taeyeon’s and Tiffany’s attention.
“The ride was really fun, you guys totally missed out!” Tiffany stated.
“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-don’t-want-to-let-them-know-that-
we-were-scared look. “It was ok. Nothing too 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.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 51/252
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 Tiffany’s face brighten.
“That’s good to hear.” Yuri said then she noticed how Jessica was staring at the food
court. “Hmm…I’m getting hungry. Let’s eat over 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.
“Today was really fun!” Tiffany asserted as she took a bite into her food.
“Yeah, it was. I’m glad we got to do something like this before school 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.
“I’m going to use the restroom so would you guys excuse me.” Tiffany said then smiles.
But as she was about to leave, a guy bumped into her from the back. It caused her to lose
her balance and 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 Taeyeon’s
face. “Oh my gosh. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to!” Tiffany quickly apologizes. But is
that enough?
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 52/252
“Ya! Hwang Tiffany!” Taeyeon screams as she wipes her face with a napkin. “You’re so
dead.” She added.
“Uh oh.” Tiffany let out as she ran for her life while Taeyeon ran after 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
over Tiffany’s head.
“Ya! It wasn’t even my fault!” Tiffany yelled back as she wipes the water off her face
and saw Taeyeon sticks her tongue out. “If I don’t get you back, I’m not Tiffany!” And
with that Tiffany chased Taeyeon back to their table.
“Kids, stop playing around.” Yuri shouted.
“Ya, we’re even now. Stop chasing me!” Taeyeon screamed.
“Fine!” Tiffany said. And as they both return to the table, Tiffany secretly pour water on
her bottle’s cap. She waited till Taeyeon sat down then splashed it in her face. “Now,
we’re even.” Then both she and Taeyeon stick their tongues out to each other.
“If I didn’t know better, I would think that you guys had been friends for a while.” Yuri
chuckled at the sight in front of her.
“If you’re going to be her friend, you have to prepare your mentality.” Jessica said. Woah
she actually used sarcasm this time. Is she finally opening up to Yuri and Taeyeon?
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 53/252
“What mentality?” Clueless of what Jessica is trying to say, Tiffany asked.
“That she’s 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 took the wrapped box and walk in the bath room.
She knocks on the door to Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s side and waited till someone opens the
door. It was Taeyeon, the person who Tiffany was hoping to see.
“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 Taeyeon’s eyes to widen. “Just kidding.” She said and
smiled at Taeyeon’s reaction. “Here, I got something for you.” Tiffany handed the
wrapped box to Taeyeon.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 54/252
“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 wasn’t 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. “What’s the meaning of this?” She asked.
“It’s for you. Since I made you lose your phone, I’m giving you another phone.” Tiffany
explained.
“I can’t take this. It looks expensive. Besides, you didn’t have to buy me another phone.
Although I said all those things, I didn’t 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 don’t have
anymore money to buy you more gifts.” Tiffany frowns.
Taeyeon chuckled. “Ya, Tiffany. You’re so weird. Ok, I’ll take it.” She replied.
“And you have to use it.” Tiffany added.
Taeyeon rolls her eyes. “You’re so much troubles. Fine.” Taeyeon said then opens the
box and takes out the phone. She turns the phone on then asked “What’s your number?”
Tiffany grabbed the phone and saved her number in Taeyeon’s new phone phonebook.
“Fany?” Taeyeon asked looking at the name Tiffany has saved herself under.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 55/252
“Uh huh.” Tiffany nodded then did her signature move “Fany Fany Tiffany!” Then she
smiles again.
Taeyeon couldn’t hold in her laughter and laughed. “Ya, Tiffany. You’re supposed to be
going to college?” Taeyeon joked causing Tiffany to stick her tongue out.
“Meany. Well, I’m 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 subjects
include Science, Math, History, English, and Tiffany’s worst nightmare, Hangul. Also
everyone was required to participate in a sport that they might like.

“Jessica! Jessica, wake up! If you want to eat breakf ast you need to wake up now! There
is only 30 minutes left before class starts!” Tiffany yells as she shakes Jessica’s body
back and forth.
“How about you go buy me food while I stay in bed for another 20 minutes?” Jessica
nags, still with her eyes shut.
“No way! Ya! Wake up already! If you don’t I’m going to give you a body slam like on
WWE! Ya!” Tiffany yelled again still shaking Jessica’s body.
“Ok. Ok. I’ll wake up…in 5 minutes.”
“No! You’re going to wake up now!” Tiffany screamed again and dragged Jessica off her
bed, making her body hit the ground. Still, Tiffany didn’t bother and dragged her in the
bathroom. “Wash up!”
“Jessica hasn’t 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 Jessica’s level then ate her breakfast in front of her Jessica’s eyes with a
smile on her face.
“Ya! How dare you eat in front of me?!” Jessica yelled.
“I guess she’s up now. I’ll go back to my room and get ready. I’ll see you guys in class
later.” Yuri said then walks back to her room.

After the teacher finished there was still 30 minutes left and the teacher did as he
promised and let them chat.
“I hope there won’t be homework from any other class.” Tiffany said hopefully.
“Yeah, I hope so too.” Yuri added. “Hey, have you guys chosen what sport you will
participate in?”
“Tennis!” Both Tiffany and Jessica replied at the same time. But they didn’t seem
surprised that the other said the same thing that they did.
“Wow, did you guys plan that?” Yuri joked.
“Well, back in the States, Jessica and I were double par tners for our middle school tennis
team. Although she left, I still continue to play tennis in high school. So I’m definitely
going to continue playing tennis.” Tiffany answered then turns to Jessica, “Oh yeah, Yuri
There is another thing that Jessica lik es to do besides sleeping and eating…and that’s
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. She’s been sitting at her desk pretty dazed out.
“Since you three are going to, I can’t be left out. I’ll join tennis too!” Yuri agrees.
“Taeyeon ah, you look troubled. Are you ok?” Tiffany asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 59/252
“Huh? I look troubled? I’m 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 looks back and forth between
Taeyeon and Tiffany.
“Why are you so surprised? It’s not like we were enemies or anything.” Taeyeon said
creating a suspicious look on Yuri’s face.
“Well, anyways. I’m glad you guys are friends now.” Yuri smiled then she looked over at
Jessica who was falling asleep on her desk. No wonder I stopped hearing her voice. I
wonder when she fell asleep. Yuri thought. “Look guys.” She pointed over to the sleeping
beauty, Jessica.
A little bit later, the bell rang and everyone gets up and walks towards their next class.
Tiffany noticed that Taeyeon still looks troubled though she said everything is fine. She
knows something’s troubling her but doesn’t know what it is.
While they’re walking to their next class, Taeyeon’s new phone vibrated and so she took
and out. She got a new text message. But who else knows her new number besides
Tiffany. Taeyeon read the message to herself, “Ya, Taeyeon. Why aren’t you telling me
what’s wrong? You suck so badly at lying. If you want to make me believe that
everything’s fine then don’t carry such a long face. Tiffany.” The simple message took

“It’s her again.” He mumbled to himself. “Always interrupts me and Taeyeon.”
Chapter 11
Finally, the school day was over. The four girls didn’t 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, Taeyeon’s phone vibrated again. She took it out and noticed that
she has a new text message…from Tiffany. She read the text to her “Meet me in the
bathroom right when we both settle in our rooms.” She turned to Tiffany with a
questioning face to why Tiffany 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 the bathroom when she saw Tiffany standing there.
What Taeyeon didn’t know was that Yuri had already noticed that the occupied light was
on. Wait Taeyeon, someones in there! Oh no she went in. Yuri thought.
“So what’s going on?” Taeyeon asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 62/252
“You told me you’d tell me why you look troubled. So tell me.” Tiffany said though she
already has a clue of what’s going on.
“Oh. About that.” Taeyeon said. “Well, it’s nothing serious.”
“Don’t think you can walk out of here without telling me.” Tiffany demanded with her
hands on her waist.
“Fine.” Taeyeon grumbled. “Well, it’s like this…before school started today…”
***Flashback***
“Taeyeon!” Junsu shouted as he ran towards Taeyeon.
“Oh. Junsu. What’s 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 new phone?” He finally
asked.
“Oh, this. I…I actually got it before you gave me the iphone, that’s why I didn’t want to
take your iphone.” Taeyeon lied.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 63/252
“Oh. Really?” He mumbled. “Well, it’s fine.” He forced out a smile. “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, I’m not sure. I’m afraid not. I’m 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 class now. I’ll talk to you later!” Junsu, once again
insisted, then quickly walks away without letting Taeyeon reject him.
***End of Flashback***
“Oh…But I don’t get it. If he hasn’t successfully asked you out ever since high school,
shouldn’t he catch on that you’re not interested?” Tiffany questioned.
“Tell me about it.”
“Just tell him you like someone else already.” Tiffany suggested.
“But I don’t! And what if he asks about that person?” Taeyeon replied, “That wouldn’t
do.”
“Oh, I got an idea! Taeyeon, you don’t 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 by and buy our rackets before Junsu gets here.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 64/252
“But then it would be rude since he told me he would come by.” Taeyeon protested.
“Just leave a note on the door that I dragged you out. Ok, let’s do it. I’ll 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 couldn’t 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 there’s something going on with them. What was Taeyeon doing with Jessica
in the bathroom? Yuri thought as she stares at Taeyeon.
“Are we going, or not?” Jessica turns to them and asked not even bothered that they came
in the bathroom when she was in there.
“Go where?” Yuri questioned as she gave Taeyeon her suspicious look.

“Oh, pink racket!” Tiffany shouted then quickly grabs the pink Prince racket off the shelf
“Sica ah, doesn’t this look like the one back 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.
“Have you not seen our room?” Jessica questioned her back. Taeyeon shook her head.
“Well you should come over, and look at how 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 Head racket.
“Oh, I’ve 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
I’ll take this one.”
“I’m getting this pink one.” Tiffany said smiling excitedly with the pink racket in her
hand.
“I’m used to Prince so I guess I’ll take this blue Prince racket.” Taeyeon said as she grabs
a blue Prince racket. Ironically, it’s the exact same style as the pink one that Tiffany has
just picked out, except blue.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 67/252
After a few more minutes of browsing the girls check out with the rackets 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 went home.
As they walk past the school gate to enter the school, they didn’t 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 there’s a letter by her door.
She quickly picks the up and letter and read it to herself, “Tiffany. Meet me behind the
stairs on the second floor 30 minutes before class starts. Junsu.”
“What’s this all about?” Tiffany scratched her head. She didn’t want anyone else to know
and quickly threw the letter away. “Let’s see, what you’re up to now.” She mumbles to
herself as she head towards the bathroom to wash up.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 68/252
Chapter 12
After Tiffany finished washing up she came back to the room to wake Jessica up.
“Jessica, wake up.” Tiffany said shaking Jessica’s body. Without permission, Tiffany
pulls Jessica up and dragged her to the bathroom. Suddenly Yuri opens the door. “Yuri ah
can you help me wake Jessica up? I know you’re 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.” Then she 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 I’m talking about.” Yuri added as she steps out of the bathroom leaving
Tiffany and Taeyeon in the bathroom with their clueless face. Oh, and the sleeping
beauty is still on the floor…sleeping.
Tiffany then turns to Jessica and shouted, “Jessica! If you don’t wake up, I’m going to
stuff cucumbers in your mouth!”
“Ya! How dare you?! Don’t you know how much I hate 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.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 69/252
“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
didn’t want Taeyeon to know that she’s meeting up with Junsu.
***
When Tiffany arrived, she saw Junsu was standing there waiting for her.
“Tiffany.” He said.
“What do you want?” Tiffany asked.
“I’ll just get straight to the point.” He said. “Well I’m sure you know 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 she’s been trying to do. “I’m really sorry if I really interrupted you guys. I
really didn’t mean to. Can you please forgive me? I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” Tiffany
dramatically apologized with her tears-filled puppy eyes.
Junsu didn’t know how he should react. He thought Tiffany would blow him off or
something…not like this. “Err…” He said scratching his head. “It’s ok, Tiffany. I’m
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 70/252
sorry, I didn’t mean to sound rude or anything.” He apologized back to Tiffany. “Just
please allow me to borrow Taeyeon a few times. Ok?” He then asked.
“Of course! If Taeyeon wants to then definitely!” Tiffany quickly answers 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.
Wow, is she bipolar? How could someone changes from being so depressed to so hyper?
Junsu thought as he smiled back to Tiffany. “Well, I have to get ready now. I’ll talk to
you later.” Junsu said and walks away.
“Bye, Junsu!” Tiffany waved and smiles. Tiffany, you deserve 100 points for your acting
skills today. Tiffany thought and sticks her tongue out as Junsu walks away.
***
Today Tiffany and Jessica actually made it to class a minute before the bell rings. Though
they had to rush everything to be able to, it was an improvement for Jessica. And the
school day goes by without much trouble. Today is the first official practice for those
who want to join the tennis team. The four girls changed into their athletic outfits and
headed to the tennis courts with their newly owned tennis rackets. By the time they got to
the tennis court, there were already other students playing friendly matches with other
students. Some are beginners, some are intermediates, and some are just like pros.
“Well, since today is the first practice. I just want you to find a partner and play a friendly
match. I will be watching you guys play to be able to choose your double partners or if
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 71/252
you should be playing single. Now, let’s start hitting.” The female coach said as the
students choose a partner to hit with.
Tiffany had chosen to hit with Jessica, her middle school double partner. Taeyeon and
Yuri will be playing against each other on the court next to Tiffany and Jessica.
“I haven’t played with you for a while now. I hope we can be doubles partner again!”
Tiffany excitedly yells as she serves the ball to Jessica.
“We’ll see.” Jessica replied as she rushes towards and returns Tiffany’s serve.
Finally, the coach blows the whistle and calls everyone in. The students were all sweaty
since they have been playing for an hour in the heat.
“Ya, Jessica. You’re still as good as ever.” Tiff any said as she walks along side with
Jessica heading towards the coach.
“Well, good job everyone. I’ve been watching all of you play and have now paired up the
doubles and the chosen the singles players.’ The female coach said. “Sorry boys, the male
coach is not here today. So you guys will have to wait for that later. I will only announce
the girl players today. So listen up. Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Tiffany, you guys will be
doubles partners. Kwon Yuri and Jung Jessica, you guys will be doubles partners. Choi
Sooyoung and Lee Sunny, you guys will be partner. Min Sun Ye and Sun Mi you guys
will be playing singles. Well, that’s it for today. Practice’s over.” The coach announced
and the students started to head back towards their dorm.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 72/252
“I’m going to be doubles partner with Taeyeon? I’m so excited! Let’s play a double game
before we head back!” Tiffany suggested, so excited to play with her new double partner.
“I’m up for it. Unless if you guys are scared.” Taeyeon agrees.
“Let’s beat them, Jessica.” Yuri said as she turns to Jessica. The four walks towards the
court when they saw Jessica nodded her head.
After a close match, they’ve finally agree to head home. The score was 7 to 5. Jessica and
Yuri had beaten Taeyeon and Tiffany. Although the four were almost equally as good as
each other, Jessica and Yuri seem to be slightly better. And also because Taeyeon is a bit
short, or so she complains.
“If I was a bit taller, we would’ve beaten you guys.” Taeyeon remarks as they head back
towards the dorm.
“Just admit that we’re better than you guys.” Yuri rebutted.
“We’ll beat you tomorrow so don’t get too cocky.” Tiffany butts in.
“Can’t wait till I get back in the dorm and shower.” Jessica shrugged and mumbles to
herself minding her own business again.
***
After an hour of taking turn, the four girls took their showers and change into their casual
clothes. Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone knocks on the door.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 73/252
“You guys ready?” asked Tiffany inside the bathroom.
“Yeah, come in. The door is unlocked.” Taeyeon said.
“Can we work on the Hangul homework first? I really need help on that.” Tiffany asked
with a face that describes her poor Korean.
“We know.” Taeyeon joked. “Ok, let’s start. Where’s Jessica?” She asked, causing Yuri
to squint at Taeyeon again with her suspicious look.
“She’s actually done with her homework. Since she was the first one to shower, she used
the time that we were in the shower to do her homework. Now she’s sleeping on her bed,
waiting for dinner time.” Tiffany described.
“That was fast.” Taeyeon replied, surprised by Jessica’s speed.
“She always does her homework really fast so she could sleep.” Tiffany explained.
“Well, let us finish our homework then eat dinner.” Taeyeon suggested and so they get
started on their homework. Since this is just the first week of school, homework load was
not heavy and thus only took them about an hour to finish.
“Jessica, wake up. Time for dinner.” Tiffany yells shaking Jessica’s body.
“Okay, I’m up.” Jessica responds and the girls head for the cafeteria to eat their dinner.

Chapter 13
The next few days of school everything went…normally. Sleeping beauty woke up as late
as usually but managed to get to class on time. After school, they four girls went to tennis
practice as usual then back to their dorm to shower, and do homework. And for Junsu, he
continued to ask Taeyeon out on a date. And like normally, Taeyeon rejected him or tried
avoid him, some how. Today is Saturday and everything was about to go as normal until
Yuri stepped out of her room to get something from the convenient store close by. Junsu
had noticed that Yuri has stepped out and quickly knocked on Taeyeon’s room.
“Did you forget your keys?” Taeyeon asked from inside, thinking it was Yuri. When she
opens the door she was surprised and felt annoyed to see Junsu. “Junsu, what is it?” She
asked.
“Oh, I just wanted to ask if you want to go out tonight. I’ve asked your classmates and
they said that you guys didn’t have much homework.” Junsu said slowly entering the
room.
He even asked my classmates? What is he? Why wont he get the fact that I dont want to
go out with him?! Taeyeon thought as she tries to block Junsu from entering her room.
“Um, yeah. But I think Tiffany and I are going to play tennis against Yuri and Jessica in a
bit.” She lied.
Tiffany was in the bathroom washing her face when Taeyeon’s and Junsu’s conversation
caught her attention. Since Taeyeon’s bathroom door was unlocked, she could clearly
hear what they’re saying. Ya, use a better reason, would you? Always using me as an
excuse. Tiffany thought and continues to eavesdrop.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 75/252
“I’m sure Tiffany wouldn’t mind if I borrow you for a bit. I’ve already asked for her
permission if I could borrow you. And she says yes. Tiffany’s a really nice girl, she’ll
understand.” Junsu insisted as he advances in the room.
Oh my gosh. He asked for her permission? And why in the world did she say yes?! Im
going to kill her! Taeyeon thought. “Even if that’s so, I’m really tired from the first week
of school.” She lied and forced out a smile. “Oh, and your iphone. I’m sorry but it’s too
much for me to accept it so please take it back.” Taeyeon grabbed the phone and handed
to Junsu.
Junsu held on to the iphone box and stared at it. “You just don’t want to go out with me,
right?” Junsu asked with a serious face. “It’s not like I’m dumb, Taeyeon. I know you’ve
always tried to reject me or avoid me. I know. I’m not dumb. But I continue to be
shameless because I believe that one day I will succeed in asking you out. Tell me, is
there anything I can do or change so you would like me?”
“Junsu…” Taeyeon was speechless. She didn’t know what she should say next. She
didn’t want to hurt him since she’s too nice of a person. Finally she thought of what
Tiffany told her the other day. Just tell him you like someone else already. She recites it
in her head. “It’s not your fault, Junsu. It’s me.” She paused, and reassured that this was
the only thing she could say to him right now. “I already like someone else. And we’re in
a relationship right now.”
Not only did Junsu’s eyes widen, so did Tiffany’s eyes. She covers her mouth and
continued to listen while Junsu just stood there.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 76/252
“Who is it?” He finally asked.
Oh shoot. Who am I going to say? Oh my gosh. What to do now? “I can’t tell you who it
is.” Taeyeon pulled it off coolly.
“Don’t lie to me. You’re just trying to make me give up. I know.” Junsu insisted.
“No, I do like someone.”
“Then who is it?”
“It’s…it’s…” Taeyeon hesitated as she tries to think of something. What to do. What to
do. She repeated in her head.
“You don’t like anyone, you’re just trying to lie to me. I can tell.” Junsu said.
Just then Tiffany opens the bathroom door and came in Taeyeon. Also at the same time,
Yuri had come back from the convenient store. Tiffany noticed Yuri but ignored it and
stepped in front of Taeyeon.
“Ya! Kim Junsu! She’s my girlfriend!” Tiffany shouted then quickly turns around and put
her arms around Taeyeon’s shoulder. “So stop bothering her, already!”
They were all shocked by Tiffany’s words, even Tiffany herself. She didn’t know what
she was doing but she didn’t care.
“So you’re telling me you and her are….? I don’t believe you!” Junsu yelled back in
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 77/252
disbelief.
“You don’t believe me? We’ve even kissed! I’ll prove it to you!” Tiffany said and looked
at Taeyeon.
Taeyeon’s eyes widen when she heard that Tiffany was going to “prove it”. What does
she think shes doing? Tiffany! Are you nuts? Taeyeon thought while giving Tiffany the
don’t-do-it look.
To prove her point, Tiffany ignored Taeyeon’s don’t-do-it look. She wrapped her arms
around Taeyeon’s shoulder so she wouldn’t be able to struggle. Her face gets closer and
closer to Taeyeon, to the point where they could felt each other’s breath. Taeyeon tried to
struggle but Tiffany had such a tight grip on her so she was unsuccessful at doing so.
Unable to struggle, Taeyeon gave in and closes her eyes, waiting for Tiffany’s kiss.
When Tiffany saw that Taeyeon had closed her eyes, she also closes her eyes and begins
to move towards Taeyeon’s lips. It took Tiffany about another two seconds before her
lips touch Taeyeon’s. Their lips stayed in contact for the next three seconds. But to them
the three seconds seem to last three centuries. Finally, Tiffany let go of Taeyeon and the
kiss. Both Tiffany’s and Taeyeon’s cheeks were flushed red.
Oh my gosh. Tiffany, what are you doing? Do you even know what youre doing? Are you
crazy? Tiffany thought to herself as she stood next to Taeyeon.
Both Yuri and Junsu were shocked at what they’re seeing.
“But I thought you and Jessica were together? I saw you came in the bathroom with
Jessica inside.” Yuri asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 78/252
Taeyeon was still in shock to hear Yuri’s question thus, she ignored it completely.
“That was me. I was in the bathroom with Taeyeon. After Taeyeon and I had left, Jessica
came in the bathroom.” Tiffany explained.
“Stop! I believe you now.” Junsu screamed then walked towards Taeyeon who was still
in shocked from the kiss. “I’m sorry to have bothered you for so long.” With that Junsu
walked out of the room with the iphone in his hand.
“Ok. I’m going back to my room now.” Tiffany said with a smile and tried to escape the
scene before she gets in trouble.
“Well, I’m going to take a shower.” Taeyeon said as she grabs her towel and headed for
the bathroom.
“Taeyeon! Didn’t you just take a shower?” Yuri asked but Taeyeon had already gone in
the bathroom with Tiffany.
“Ya, what just happened out there? What were you thinking?!” Taeyeon asked as she
wipes her lips with her hand.
“I was just trying to help you out. I…I didn’t know what else to do to make him believe
so…” Tiffany tried to explain to Taeyeon.
“Aish, what are we going to do now?” Taeyeon scratched her head. “We can clear it up
with Yuri but what about Junsu?”

Chapter 14
“Wait. So there’s nothing going on with you and Tiffany?” Yuri reassured.
“Nope. Nothing. We’re just friends.” Taeyeon replied.
“So, it was Jessica who you were in the bathroom with last time?” Yuri asked again and
raised her eyebrow.
“No. It was Tiffany. But we didn’t do anything. We just talked.” Taeyeon explained.
“And why do you always bring Jessica up? Is there anything going on with YOU TWO?”
She questioned Yuri back.
“Eh? There’s nothing going on between us. Absolutely nothing. Think about it, Jessica
only cares about sleep and eat. How can there be anything going on between us.” Yuri
replied nervously.
“Geez. I was just asking you didn’t have to explain all of that to me. Well, let’s get some
breakfast?” Taeyeon suggested.
“Sure.”
“Ok. Let me get those two.” Taeyeon said and she went in the bathroom to get Tiffany
and Jessica on the other side.
And she says theres nothing going on between her and Tiffany. Yuri rolled her eyes.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 81/252
“Tiffany, Jessica, breakfast!” Taeyeon shouted from inside the bathroom.
After a few minutes of getting ready, the four girls walked down to the cafeteria. As they
were about to enter the cafeteria Tiffany linked arms with Taeyeon surprising her.
“Ya, what are you doing?” Taeyeon whispers. Tiffany didn’t say anything but used her
eyes to tell Taeyeon to look behind her. Taeyeon acts like she was fixing her hair and
looked behind her. She saw Junsu walking towards them and her body stiffed up.
“Just act normal.” Tiffany whispered back to Taeyeon and pulled her in the cafeteria
following Yuri and Jessica.
Even after the girls got their food and sat down at a table, Tiffany noticed that Junsu was
still watching them.
“Tae Tae ah…” Tiffany said giving Taeyeon the chills. “Open up. Ahhh.” She said as she
blows the spoon of soup in front of her.
“Ya, isn’t this a bit too much?” Taeyeon whispered back.
“AHHHH!” Tiffany demanded. Taeyeon rolled her eyes and open her mouth so Tiffany
could feed her. “Good girl.” She smiled.
The whole Tiffany feeding Taeyeon scene totally caught the sleeping beauty attention.
She shif ted her eyebrows and stared at the two in disgust. “What are you two doing?” She
asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 82/252
“Can’t you see? I’m feeding my TaeTae.” Tiffany answered with a smile on her face.
“Another spoon, open up TaeTae. Ahhh.” She turns to Taeyeon who just looked
embarrassed.
“TaeTae?” Both Jessica and Yuri asked.
“Whatever. You two are weird. I’m done. I’m going back to the dorm and read.” Jessica
said then stood up and walks back to the dorm.
“I’m leaving too.” Yuri said then stood up and follows Jessica back to the dorm.
“Ya! Don’t just leave me here…with her.” Taeyeon groaned.
“Ya. Is this how you’re going to treat the person who helped you?” Tiffany asked.
“Help me? I think you’re just trying to take advantage of me.” Taeyeon mumbled to
herself.
“What did you say?”
“Nothing. Let’s go back to the dorms. I’m full.” Taeyeon suggested forcing out a smile.
***
“Oh, Taeyeon has the keys. Jessica, do you think you could let me in your room so I
could go through the bathroom doors?” Yuri asked, though she was the one who locked
the door earlier thus she does have the keys.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 83/252
“Whatever. I don’t care.” Jessica replied as she opens the door and walked in letting Yuri
close the door behind them. After putting down the keys on her desk, Jessica sat down on
her bed leaning against the wall. She opens her book and starts reading ignoring the fact
that Yuri is still standing there in her room.
“What are you reading?” Yuri asked.
“A book.”
“Oh. What is it about?” She continued to ask.
“Stuff.”
“Oh. I see.” Yuri said nodding her head. “So_”
“You know, my whole life I was nicknamed the Ice Princess for a reason, right?” Jessica
interrupts.
“So? And your point is? I’m going to melt the ice then!” Yuri responded.
“Whatever. I don’t care. Just don’t bother me. I’m sorry but I have to sleep now so if you
would.” With the cold remark, Jessica lie down and closed her eyes.
Even with the cold remarks, Yuri was not mad at Jessica at all. She was still very
interested in figuring out Jessica and determined to change her. “Watch! I’m going to
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 84/252
melt that ice and make you a warm-hearted person.” She declared then through the
bathroom doors she went back to her room.
***
“Ya. Hwang Fany. No one’s around so we can stop acting already.” Taeyeon said as she
unlinked her arm with Tiffany’s.
Tiffany rolls her eyes and sticks her tongue out. “Whatever Kim Taeyeon. You know you
like it.” She smirked and went into her room while Taeyeon goes in her room.
“Ya, Jessica. I thought you were going to read?” Tiffany asks as she closes the door then
went to sit down on Jessica’s bed.
“Your new friend was bothering me, so I thought if I went to sleep she would leave me
alone.” She replies, still lying on her bed.
“Who? Yuri?” Tiffany asked again and Jessica nodded. “Oh come on. Yuri’s a nice girl.
She’s just trying to be friends with you. And she is your doubles partner after all.” She
defended Yuri.
“I don’t care. I don’t like to be bothered. And I don’t want nor need a friend.” Jessica said
“What about me? Wasn’t I bothering you when we first met?” Tiffany questioned.
“Because you’re different.” She replied
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 85/252
“How so?”
“Because you were way more annoying than she’ll ever be.” Jessica protested.
“Whatever, you just fell in love with me. I know.”
“Keep dreaming.” Jessica said in English.
“You know it’s true.” Tiffany replied in English.
“And what’s with you and Taeyeon? What were you two doing?” Jessica asked and so
Tiffany told her the whole story. “What?! You kissed her?!” She shouted.
“Yes I did. Why are you so shock? Are you jealous? Do you want a kiss too?” Tiffany
gave Jessica a wink and got closer to her face.
“Ew, no. Stay away from me.” Jessica yelled trying to push Tiffany away from her. “You
know what? A kiss?” She said calmly again. “I’m fine with it.” She added.
“What?” Tiff any asked as she eyes widen.
Jessica grabbed Tiffany’s neck and pull Tiffany in for a peck on her lips. “There. Now let
me sleep.” She said then pulled the blanket over her head leaving Tiffany sitting there
blanked out.
“What just happened?” Tiffany mumbled.

Chapter 15
Morning came and woke Tiffany up from bed. Still sleepy she finds her way to the
bathroom. After she washed her face she started to brush her teeth, still with only half of
her eyes open. Suddenly, the door from Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s side of the room busts open
Tiffany was shocked then as she looks clearly, she sees Taeyeon enters the bathroom.
Tiffany quickly rinses her mouth and wipes her face.
“Ya, you scared me. Who was the one who asked if I didn’t see the occupied light last
time?” Tiffany scolded at Taeyeon who just kept walking towards her.
“Tiffany ah…” She paused. “I have something to ask to you…” Taeyeon said softly as
she steps forward, facing Tiffany at about only about 1 foot from her face. Their eyes are
locked into each other’s.
Tiffany’s heart starts to beat fast since they were standing so close to each other. Her
hands start to tremble. “What…is it?” Tiffany asked nervously. Oh my gosh. Ive only felt
this way when I saw her in the bathroom last time. Whats going on with me? She thought
“If…” Taeyeon hesitated then slowly holds Tiffany’s hands bring them up to her cheeks.
“If I tell you that I…that I like you more than just a friend…how would you react?”
Taeyeon asks nervously still holding on Tiffany’s hands.
“Huh?” Tiffany questioned softly. Her heart is beating too fast for her to be able to think
clearly. “I…I don’t know_”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 87/252
Just when Tiffany was about to finish her sentence, Taeyeon pulled Tiffany in for a kiss
on her lips. Tiffany’s eyes widen to Taeyeon’s action but did not resist. Finally Tiffany
closed her eyes giving in to Taeyeon’s kiss and kisses her back.
***
“YA! HWANG MI YOUNG!!! What are you doing on my bed?!?! Ok, ok, I give up. I’ll
wake up. Stop kissing me already! Ya!” Jessica shouted as she pushes Tiffany, who was
lying next to her on her bed, away from her.
“Huh?” Tiffany asks wiping her eyes. When she opens her eyes and found herself lying
on Jessica’s bed she was shocked. “Why am I on your bed?” She asked.
“You tell me!” Jessica yelled and wipes her cheeks. “Please don’t ever try to wake me up
by kissing me.” She demanded.
“Kissing you? Why would I kiss you?” Tiffany asked with a clueless face.
Jessica raised her eyebrows. “Oh…you must’ve sleep-walked and got on my bed.”
Jessica assumed. “So you must have kissed someone in your dream then! Who was it?!”
Jessica asked.
It finally hit Tiffany what Jessica is talking about. Wait. Was it that kiss that Taeyeon
gave me? It was a dream?! “Ah…I was kissing…Dennis O! Of course!” Tiffany made up
and smiled. “And you just had to ruin the moment!” She added.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 88/252
“Eh? If I didn’t wake you up, you would have taken advantage of me.” Jessica said,
rolling her eyes at Tiffany. “If you didn’t wanted to wake me up then I’ll go back to sleep
Don’t ever get near me like that again.” She demanded.
“Whatever. Ok, go back to sleep then.” Tiffany said as she stood up and went back to her
bed and lie down. Why did I have such a dream? She pondered. And the whole thing felt
so real. My heart was pounding and my hands were trembling. And her kiss was...Ya,
Tiffany what are you talking about? It was all a dream…a dream Tiffany. And nothing
else.
After lying on her bed thinking about the dream for a bit, Tiffany fell asleep again.
***
“Let’s ask them to join us.” Yuri suggested as she and Taeyeon get ready to go eat
breakfast.
“Why? They can go whenever they want to.” Taeyeon replied.
“Come on, we’re roommates with them. It’s courteous to ask.” Yuri nags then finally
Taeyeon headed in the bathroom.
“Ya, you two! You guys want to get breakfast with us?” Taeyeon shouted from the
bathroom. After 30 seconds, no one answered so. Thinking that they couldn’t hear her,
Taeyeon decided to open the door to their room. As she was opening the door, she heard
and felt a bump.
“Ow!” Tiffany growled and rubs her forehead.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 89/252
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t know you were right there. Why didn’t you answer?” Taeyeon asked
Tiffany finally lifts her face to see that it was Taeyeon standing in front of her. Just then
her dream flashed back in her mind, widening her eyes. Tiffany, snap out of it. It was just
a dream! Tiffany thought. “Uh…I…uh…we’ll be ready soon.” Tiffany responded though
she didn’t actually answer Taeyeon’s question.
“Um, okay...”
After a while, Tiffany and Jessica got ready and join Taeyeon and Yuri to eat breakfast.
Once the girls were in the cafeteria, Taeyeon quickly took notice of Junsu’s appearance.
She quickly gave Tiffany a smile and linked arms with her.
Tiffany was surprised then turned around to question Taeyeon’s behavior “What are you
doing?” In fact, she was quite nervous when Taeyeon touched her. Her heart felt like it’s
beating faster. She finds herself stuttering when she asked the question.
“Junsu’s over there.” Taeyeon signaled to Tiffany. “Why else would I link our arms?”
She added.
Tiffany looked around and saw Junsu. “Oh,” she replied. With Taeyeon linking arms with
her and being so closed, she was once again reminded of her dream. She felt some sweats
were about to drip down from her neck as she swallowed. Taeyeon looks so hot today.
Omo. What am I saying? Tiffany thought as she continues to walk with the group.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 90/252
“Ya, Tiffany. What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Taeyeon asked as she put her hand on
Tiffany’s forehead. “You’re sweating a lot.”
Taeyeon action obviously intensified Tiffany even more. Tiffany continues to stare at
Taeyeon’s face and continue to sweat like as if she has just exercised for two hours under
summer’s sun. Her heart beats even faster than before. “Taeyeon ah…I don’t think I will
be eating with you guys...I’ll be back in the dorm.” Tiffany weakly replied as she runs
back towards the dorm.
“What’s wrong with her?” Yuri asked seeing Tiffany had just run off.
“I don’t know. Maybe she’s sick?” Taeyeon assumed.
***
Once Tiffany got in her room, she went to the bathroom and washed her face. Ya Tiffany.
What are you doing? Why are you acting like this? And that dream, why does it keep
repeating in my head whenever I face Taeyeon? Tiffany thought as she splashes her face
with water. After thirty seconds she wiped her face with a towel then went back to her
bed. This has never happened before. Not even when I was literally drooling over
Dennis half -naked pictures. What is wrong with me? Do I…like girls? No, definitely not.
There were many pretty girls that were in my life but none of them made me felt this way.
Or is it that I might just like…Taeyeon? Ah, Im so confused. What am I going to do?
Just then Jessica had just come back from eating breakfast with Yuri and Taeyeon. It
seems like she hasn’t eaten yet since she was carrying 2 to-go boxes in her hand.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 91/252
“Ya, Tiffany. Are you ok? Since you didn’t eat, I brought back breakfast for us.” Jessica
said as she shows Tiffany the too boxes.
“Jessica, help me.”
Jessica was shocked by Tiffany’s words and quickly placed the boxes down on the table.
Then she walks over to Tiffany’s bed and sat down next to her. “Ya, are you okay?
What’s wrong?” Jessica asked.
“Ah, it’s so weird. I don’t know what’s going on. I have these weird feelings that I’ve
never had. And I’m just so confused! Help me, Jessica! Help me!” Tiffany whines.
“Woah, hold up. You’re just saying a whole bunch of stuff. Slow down and tell me the
whole story.” Jessica requested as she held onto Tiffany’s hands calming her down.
“It started last night when I have this dream…” And so Tiffany told Jessica about the
dream and how she felt afterwards. “Do you think that I like her? Or why else do I feel
this way?” Tiffany asked as she shakes Jessica’s arm.
“Well let me ask you one question. If Taeyeon were to kiss you, like in the dream, would
you want to kiss her back?” Jessica asked.
Tiffany thought about it for a while then finally responded with a “Yes.” Then calmly she
continues, “I think I’ve found the answer now. Thanks Jessica.” She smiled. “This is why
you’re my best friend! Promise we’ll be best friends forever!” As she finishes her
sentence Tiffany wrapped her arms around Jessica’s shoulder giving her a hug.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 92/252
“Yeah, I will always be…your best friend.” Jessica said then forced out a smile. Her tone
though, did not sound like she was any bit happy. To be exact, it sounded bitter. “Ok, I’m
hungry. Let’s eat.” Jessica suggested as she stood up from Tiffany’s bed and grabbed the
to-go boxes.
“Were you just trying to calm me down as fast as possible so you could eat?!” Tiffany
questioned raising her eyebrows. “Just kidding. I know you wouldn’t do that. Let’s eat
then.” She smiled again and joins Jessica at their little table.
Chapter 16
It has been a few weeks since that day that Tiffany realizes her feelings for Taeyeon. And
since that day, Tiffany has accepted her feelings towards her. Although her heart still
beats fast when she’s around Taeyeon, she can now pull it off coolly without Taeyeon
noticing it. Although Taeyeon doesn’t have any special feelings for Tiffany and only used
her to avoid Junsu, Tiffany is still very happy to play a part of their “fake” relationship.
And Jessica could see that. The sleeping beauty that has never cared about anything other
than eat and sleep has started to pay more attention to Tiffany and often take glances at
her and Taeyeon.
On the other hand, Yuri continues to try to melt the ice in Jessica’s heart. With Tiffany’s
tip, she has often successfully tricked Jessica into hanging out with her by providing food
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 93/252
And it seems like it’s working for both Yuri and Jessica. But on the surface, only
Jessica’s physical body was with Yuri. Her mind and heart resist to be warmed up. Either
that or both her mind and heart were with Tiffany.
***
Today is the girls’ first game with Ko-Ko University (obviously made up). First doubles
game is Taeyeon and Tiffany.
“Hi, nice to meet you. I’m Tiffany.” Tiffany said with a smile as she shook hand with
both of their opponents.
“Hi, I’m Taeyeon.” Taeyeon gr eeting then shook hands with their opponents.
“Hi, I’m Miyoung.” One of the opponents said and shook Taeyeon and Tiffany’s hands.
“And I’m Yoojin.” The other opponent greeted and shook their hands.
“Hey, isn’t that your name Tiffany? Miyoung?” Taeyeon smirked sticking her tongue out
knowing that Tiffany hated her Korean name.
“Watch yourself.” Tiffany warned with her evil glare.
“Oh you two have matching rackets! That’s so cute.” Miyoung said smiling at them.
“Yeah of course since we’re_” Excitedly, Tiffany was about to spill everything out.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 94/252
“Very close friends.” Taeyeon interrupted and forced out a fake smile to Tiffany.
“Are you guys ready?” Yoojin asked with courtesy. After seeing Taeyeon and Tiffany
nodded the four girls began their game.
After the first point, Taeyeon and Tiffany were confident they could beat their opponents.
It seems like they’ve just started playing so it was just an easy match for Taeyeon and
Tiffany. They beat the poor girls by 8-1.
“Good game you two! You guys are really good.” Miyoung complimented as they shook
hands.
“Thanks, you’re really good as well for just starting.” Tiffany replied with a smile on her
face.
“Good game.” Both Taeyeon and Yoojin said as they shook each other’s hands. After
they had finished shaking hands the four girls left the court for the next game.
“Good job guys!” Yuri shouted as Taeyeon and Tiffany came back to the bench. Yuri and
Jessica have been sitting on the bench waiting for their turn as well as watching
Taeyeon’s and Tiffany’s game.
“Kwon Yuri and Jessing Jung please come to court number two!”
“That was too easy for yall, watch us play.” Jessica smirked then jump off the bench with
Yuri and headed for the court.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 95/252
“Wait, Jessica.” Yuri shouted catching Jessica’s attention causing her to turn around. “I
bought you a sweatband since I know you sweat a lot.” Yuri said handed Jessica the
sweatband.
Jessica accepted the wristband and looked at Yuri, “Thanks.” She said and headed off for
the game.
Gah, how many times does she actually say ‘thanks? But she said it to me! Yay! Yuri
thought and smiled.
“Look at her.” Tiffany pointed to Yuri. “She must’ve liked Jessica or else why would she
be doing all this stuff for her.”
“We should hook them up.” Taeyeon suggested and both she and Tiff any nodded.
“Hey, Taeyeon and Tiffany. Nice game out there.” A girl said as she taps Taeyeon’s
shoulder from behind. The girl’s name is Lee Sunny. She’s on the tennis team playing
doubles with Choi Sooyoung. Taeyeon and Sunny has been getting close since they were
on the tennis team together and have all of their classes together like her and Tiffany.
Tiffany never liked the sight of her because every time she’s around, Taeyeon seems to
always talks to her and ignores Tiffany. And her partner wasn’t much of a pleasant sight
for Tiffany either and especially for Yuri. No matter where she is she’s always munching
on something. Because of that Sooyoung and Jessica seems to have a lot in common and
would often eat with each other.
“Oh, hey Sunny! Have you guys played yet?” Taeyeon asked excitedly. “If not, I want to
watch your next game!”

“Wouldn’t you want to see Yuri’s and Jessica’s game?” Tiffany butts in before Sunny
could answer Taeyeon.
“Ya, don’t be rude. Sorry she’s immature like that.” Taeyeon apologized then continues
to have a decent conversation with Sunny ignoring Tiffany.
Immature? Did you just call me immature? Ya! Kim Taeyeon! How dare you? All
because of her? Tiffany thought with much jealousy.
“Hey, Sooyoung and I are going to go out to dinner tonight, would you guys want to
come with us?” Sunny asked.
“Oh, of course I_”
“GO YURI GO JESSICA!!! GO YUSICA!!!” Tiffany screamed cutting Taeyeon’s off
from her sentence. Although after that Tiffany received a deadly glare from Taeyeon, she
still managed to interrupt their conversation. It was worth it for her.
“Lee Sunny and Choi Sooyoung please come to the court number 3.”
“I guess we’re up next.” Sunny said then stood up with Sooyoung.
“I’ll come watch you guys play.” Taeyeon said as she stood up with Sunny and Sooyoung
“Where are you going?” Tiffany quickly asked the second she saw Taeyeon stand up.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 97/252
“I’m going to watch Sunny play on court number 3.” Taeyeon replied.
“But what about Yuri and Jessica?”
“I’m sure with you as their cheerleader they’ll be fine without me.” Taeyeon responded
then left with Sunny.
Oh no you dont. Youre going to leave me here to go with her? In your dreams! Tiffany
thought as she quickly follows Taeyeon to the bench on court 3.
Yuri and Jessica were doing a great job on the court against their intermediate opponents.
Their score as of right then was 6 - 2. They only need to win two more games and the
game is theirs. But as Jessica sees Tiffany following Taeyeon to another court her mood
changed. And it wasn’t a good one either. Jessica quickly becomes ill-tempered and hit
all the balls that she gets out. After a few games the score was 8 - 8. And with the help of
Yuri who was still in the game they managed to win the tie breaker by 7-5.
“Good games guys.” The four girls said as they shook each other’s hands and walk off
the court.
Jessica immediately walks off to a place where no one was once she was out of the court.
Her mood was still bad.
“What’s wrong, Jessica? Are you okay?” Yuri was worried and followed Jessica.
“I’m fine. Sorry I almost made us lost.” Jessica apologized as she wipes her sweats with
her towel.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 98/252
“Is it because of Tiffany?” Yuri asked as she looks at Jessica’s change in expression.
“I’ve always noticed that you always have this special gaze towards her.” The next thing
she notices was Jessica’s wet face. At first she couldn’t tell if they were the sweat on her
face or tears but when she saw Jessica’s watery eyes, she knew they were her tears.
“Yuri ah. I don’t know how long I can keep this up anymore.” Jessica cried then finds
herself get pulled into Yuri’s embrace.
“It’s okay, Jessica. Just let it all out. Just cry to me. I’m here with you.” Yuri expressed
while patting Jessica’s shoulder. This is the first time Ive seen any emotion on her face.
But I would rather see the cold Ice Princess that she has always been than to see her
crying like this. Does it hurt a lot? I promise Ill be here for you whenever you need me.
Yuri thought as she continues to embrace the crying Jessica.race the crying Jessica.

Chapter 17
After a while of staying in Yuri’s embrace, Jessica has finally calmed down. She released
herself from Yuri’s embrace. “Did I trick you?” She forced out a cold smile. “I knew you
were waiting for me to be emotional so acted out for you. Take it as my gratitude for your
sweatband. Did you really think that the Ice Princess would actually cry? Don’t be a
fool.” She chuckled then walked back to the bench.
“If it makes you happy to call me a fool then go ahead!” Yuri said as Jessica walks away.
“Me, a fool?” She chuckled. “Babo, you can’t lie to me. But if you’re not ready to tell me
I won’t force you to. Just know that I’ll always be there for you.” She whispers at the
sight of Jessica’s back walking away. Slowly she too walks back to the team’s bench.
***
“Sunny and Sooyoung, hwaiting!” Taeyeon screams as Sunny just scored a point for her
team.
“Ya, Kim Taeyeon. You never cheer for anyone else! Why are you cheering for them?!
For HER!” Tiffany protested angrily at Taeyeon.
“Ya, Hwang Miyoung. You need to stop giving Sunny this tone of yours. What did she
ever do to you?” Taeyeon scolded at Tiffany.
“She did many things to me.” Tiffany mumbled.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 100/252
“What?”
“Why are you always on her side? I’m the one who’s your girlfriend!” Tiffany whines
causing the people around to stare at them.
“Ya, be quiet. People are staring at us.” Taeyeon demanded. “And remember, we’re just a
fake couple.” She added.
“Kim Taeyeon, I hate you!” Tiffany yelled and stood up to walk back to the other bench
where Jessica and Yuri were playing.
With Tiffany’s yell, everyone around stared at Taeyeon. It was both curious stares and
the annoyed stares.
“Sorry,” Taeyeon bowed and apologized. She ignored about the fact that Tiffany walked
away and continue to watch the game.
***
“Jessica! Yuri!” Tiffany shouted as she sat down next to Jessica. “How did you guys do?
Sorry, I had to go somewhere and couldn’t watch you guys play.”
“We won.” Jessica stated calmly.
“Jessica, why are you eyes red? Did you cry?!” Tiffany quickly noticed and asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 101/252
“You’re kidding me. Why would I ever cry? It’s my contacts, they’re not feeling too
good.” Jessica lied denying the fact that she did cry.
“Oh, okay.”
Just then Tiffany saw Sunye walks past her. She thought of something then quickly
followed Sunye.
“Sunye!” Tiffany shouted catching Sunye’s attention.
“Hey Tiffany, what’s up?” Sunye turned around and asked.
“You know Junsu right?” Tiffany asked. When Sunye nodded she continued, “Can you
spread a rumor to him for me?”
Sunye shifted her eyebrows, “Eh?” After seeing Tiffany’s secret weapon, her pair of
puppy eyes, Sunye finally agrees. “What is it?”
“Can you please tell him that you heard from somewhere that Taeyeon and I are just a
fake couple? And we only act as a couple in front of him.” Tiffany asked.
“Ookay? And why do you want me to tell him that?” Sunye questioned.
“Just do it, please. Pretty please?” Tiffany nags.
“Alright then, I’ll tell him that.” Sunye said. “Well I have to prepare for my next match
so I’ll talk to you later.” She added and part with Tiffany.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 102/252
Ya, Kim Taeyeon. I will never let you go to that Sunny girl. Tiffany thought with an evil
smile on her face.
***
“Yuri, are you coming with us?” Taeyeon asked as she gets ready to go out with Sunny
and Sooyoung.
“No, I’m tired from today’s tournament. You guys have fun.” Yuri replied lying on her
bed reading a book.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone knocks on the door and Taeyeon walked towards the
door and opens it.
“Hey, are you guys ready?” Sunny asked excitedly with Sooyoung behind her.
“Yeah, I’m ready. Yuri said she’s tired so she won’t be coming with us.” Taeyeon replied
“What about Tiffany?” Sunny asked.
“Forget her.”
“Why what’s wrong? Oh yeah, I heard you guys argue while we were playing. Is
everything okay with you two?” Sunny questioned.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 103/252
“Don’t worry about it. She’s always immature like that.” Taeyeon answered. “Let us go.”
She suggested.
“Um, ok.”
“Going somewhere fun without me?” Tiffany’s voice was heard from inside the
bathroom. Then as soon as the door opens everyone could see Tiffany walking out.
“Hey Tiffany, join us!” Sunny invited Tiffany when she sees her.
“Thanks for the invitation Sunny, but then again I don’t think Taeyeon could go
anywhere without me.” Tiffany smiled then linked her arms with Taeyeon.
“You guys are so cute.” Sunny complimented and smiled at them. “Let’s go then.” She
suggested.
Though Taeyeon wasn’t expecting Tiffany to join them, Tiffany did end up going with
them. Sunny though, does not seem to notice Tiffany’s jealousy and continues to be nice
to both of them. The whole night, Tiffany never gave Taeyeon a chance to have a full
solid conversation with Sunny. And although Taeyeon had warned her many times not to
do so, Tiffany ignored her warnings completely. Finally it was getting late and the girls
return to their dorm.
“Ya, Hwang Miyoung! What is your problem?” Taeyeon yelled as the two entered
Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s room. “Why do you always act so immature? Grow up already!”
She continues to yell at Tiffany.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 104/252
“You’ll never realize it, will you?” Tiffany cried as she storms through the bathroom
doors back to her room.
“Right! Just run back to your room and cry! That’s all you’ll ever do!” Taeyeon shouted
then sat down on her bed. “Did you see that? How immature can she get? I knew she was
trouble the first time I met her.” Taeyeon pointed at Tiffany to Yuri then sighed.
“What did she do this time?” Yuri asked.
“Like every other time! Always being rude to Sunny and interrupts our conversation the
whole night!” Taeyeon replied.
“She’s right.”
“What?”
“You’ll never realize it.” Yuri continued.
“What are you saying?” Taeyeon asked.
“Do you really need me to tell you? She’s jealous!” Yuri replied. “Haven’t you notice
that whenever you’re around Sunny, you completely ignore Tiffany and everyone else?
Even I sometimes feel like I’m no longer your best friend.” She continues then gets up
from her bed and walks over to Tiffany’s room.
“Where are you going? Are you mad too?” Taeyeon asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 105/252
“I’m not that narrow-minded. I just want to go calm Tiffany down.” Yuri replied then
walks through the bathroom doors to Tiffany’s and Jessica’s room.
Chapter 18
“Tiffany? What’s wrong?” Jessica asked when she saw Tiffany stormed back and hid
herself under the blanket. Worried, Jessica got up and sat on Tiffany’s bed. “Tiffany, are
you okay?”
“Jessica!” Tiffany uncovered herself and hugged Jessica. “I’ve always thought that loving
someone is such a happy thing but why haven’t I felt any happiness ever since I love her?
I know she doesn’t like me but does it have to hurt so badly?” Tiffany cries on Jessica’s
shoulder.
Yuri heard everything as she was about to step into Tiffany’s and Jessica’s room. Finally
she realizes Tiffany’s true f eelings for Taeyeon. Tiffany, I know you are hurt. But do you
know that there is someone else whos hurt even more than you do? A person that has to
hide her feelings from you. A person that has to see you in pain that was caused by
another person that you love. I know, because I know this person. Yuri thought at the
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 106/252
sight of Tiffany and Jessica hugging each other. She decided not to bother them and walk
back to her room.
“How is she?” Taeyeon asked when Yuri came back in the room.
“She’s crying. But don’t worry, Jessica’s comforting her.” Yuri replied.
“What about you? How are you?” Taeyeon asked and faced Yuri on her bed. “Your mood
changed ever since you came back.” She added.
“I just feel sorry for Jessica.” Yuri replied then let out a sigh.
“Huh? Why?”
“You don’t understand.” Yuri said. “Ok, I’m going to sleep now. See you tomorrow.”
She continued then lie down on her bed.
“Good night.”
***
While Yuri was still sleeping, Taeyeon has already finished getting ready for school. She
purposely gets up a bit early today for a reason. She sat on her bed waiting for something
to happened, and that thing happened when the occupied light above the bathroom door
was turned on. Taeyeon knew Jessica wouldn’t ever wake up that early so it has to
Tiffany, the person she was waiting for. She quickly marches to the bathroom door and
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 107/252
opens it. Just as she expect, Tiffany was in there washing her face. Once Tiffany sees
Taeyeon, she rolled her eyes and starts brushing her teeth, ignoring Taeyeon.
“Tiffany ah…uh…” Taeyeon hesitated as she notices that Tiffany didn’t even look at her.
Then she thought of the new Zia’s I’m sorry I love you song she has just heard and starts
to sing a line from it. “Mianhae (I’m sorry) Mianhae Mianhae…” Still Tiffany was
uninterested. She decided to recite it again. “Mianhae Mianhae Mianhae…” This time she
noticed that Tiffany had turned around.
Taeyeon you dork. Tiffany thought as she turns around to hide the smile on her face.
“Ya…Fany ah.” Taeyeon whines trying to act cute. “Ok, I’ll say it. I’m sorry. You’re
happy? I’m sorry that I didn’t realized how I ignored everyone else when I’m with Sunny
And I’m sorry that I yelled at you. I’m really sorry, okay? Would you forgive me?”
Taeyeon finally apologized. Then she heard Tiffany giggled and turned Tiffany’s body
around. “Oh! You were playing around with me!” she acts mad.
“It’s not my fault you’re such a dork Kim Taeyeon.” Tiffany smiled. Then she notices
Taeyeon’s pout. “Taeyeon ah.” She said biting her lips. “I want to tell you that I’m sorry
as well. I shouldn’t have acted so immaturely towards you and Sunny. I’m sorry. So
we’re even, now. Okay?” She continued then smiled sweetly at Taeyeon.
Looking at Tiffany’s smile, Taeyeon can’t help but to smile herself. “Okay, we’re even
now.” She said.
“Actually, no I take it back.” Tiffany said. “You have to promise me something first,”
She added.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 108/252
“Eh? Tell me what it is first.” Taeyeon raised her eyebrows.
“You have to promise me that you’ll never yell at me again.” Tiffany demanded with a
cute pout on her face.
“Okay I promise. Now get ready for school.” Taeyeon said as she turns around and walk
back to her room.
After that, Taeyeon and Tiffany wake Jessica and Yuri up. It takes another 10 minutes or
so for them all to get ready.
“So you two were just acting the whole time?” Some random girl asked as Taeyeon
walked out of the room.
“What are you talking about?” Taeyeon asked looking clueless.
“You know the rumor that you and Tiffany are a fake couple. You guys just pretended so
you could avoid Junsu. Stop acting, it’s all over the school now.” After she finished she
walks off leaving Taeyeon looking clueless.
When Taeyeon saw Tiffany making a face she knew Tiffany had to do with all this.
“Tiffany! What did you do?” She yelled.
“Well…I was just…a bit…impulsive after you blew me off at the tennis game…and I
kind of…just kind of…told someone to tell Junsu that we were a fake couple…to you
know…payback.” Tiffany hesitated and stuttered. When she sees Taeyeon’s eyes getting
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 109/252
wider she quickly added, “But, I didn’t think the whole school would know. And…and
you promised me you wouldn’t yell at me.”
“Yeah, I won’t yell at you.” Taeyeon said calmly. “But I didn’t say I won’t hurt you, did
I?” She shouted.
“Uh oh.” Tiffany quickly ran for her life while Taeyeon chased closely right after her.
“Tiffany! Stop running! Ya!” Taeyeon screamed as she chases Tiffany around the school.
Tiffany while running kept looking back to see Taeyeon and did not see who she was
about to bump into. “Ow.” She groaned then looks up to find that it was, “Junsu! Hey!
How are you?” She smiled nervously.
“Tiffany!” Taeyeon screamed as she ran towards Tiffany, not yet noticing Junsu. It took
her another two seconds to notice that Junsu was right there with Tiffany.
“What a loving couple you guys are.” Junsu said sarcastically.
“Of course we are. Right TaeTae?” Tiffany smiled then stands next to Taeyeon and
linked arms with her.
“Of course.”
“What about the rumor about you guys being a fake couple?” He asked.
“We’ve never heard of that rumor. Right, Fany?” Taeyeon replied.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 110/252
“It’s probably because Taeyeon and I recently got into a fight. You know, couples get
into fights. It’s just a normal thing.” Tiffany said. “Oh, we’re getting late. Let’s grab
something to eat before your stomach growls again, TaeTae ah. Bye Junsu!” Tiffany said
then quickly pulls Taeyeon with her and headed towards the cafeteria.
Once they were safe inside the cafeteria without Junsu, Taeyeon unlinked her arm with
Tiffany causing her to pout.
“Taeyeonnieee~” Tiffany nags and shakes Taeyeon’s arm. “I’m sorry. It’s nothing that
serious. Now we just have to act like a couple everywhere, and not just to Junsu. That’s
all. Since he might be asking his friends to spy on us.”
“Oh…I see your plan now. You just want me to be with you the whole day, don’t you?”
Taeyeon questioned.
“No…What are you talking about?” Tiffany denied with a mischievous look on her face.
“Oh you guys are here.” Yuri’s voice interrupts the conversation. “Jessica and I were
wondering where you guys were.” She added.
“This kid right here deserves to be punished!” Taeyeon said pointed to Tiffany who just
stood there and smile like as if she’s so innocent.
“It’s getting late, let us just eat and move on with the subject okay?” Tiffany suggested
then dragged them to get in line.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 111/252
After a while, the four girls ate their breakfast and rushed to class. So the whole school
day, with or without Junsu, Taeyeon and Tiffany had to act as a couple. Taeyeon didn’t
like the idea one bit but there was nothing else she could do unless if she wants to get
with Junsu. Yuri can tell how uneasy Jessica was seeing Taeyeon and Tiffany being so
close together so she tries to talk to Jessica as much as possible.
“Jessica ah, are you hungry?” Yuri asked while jogging side by side with Jessica during
tennis practice. “Let’s go to a good restaurant I know after we finish our homework.” She
suggested as she pants from the running.
“Ok.” Jessica replied making Yuri smile.
I guess food still works on our Ice Princess. Yuri thought to herself.

“Hey you guys want to want to come with us?” Yuri asked while getting ready.
“Where?” Tiffany asked.
Tiffany and Taeyeon were also in the room since they had just finished doing their
homework. Jessica was in her room sleeping like always. It’s unknown that she’s
sleeping because she prefers to sleep or because she needed to avoid the sight of Taeyeon
and Tiffany together.
“Me and Jessica are going to go out to eat.” Yuri explained.
“Oh…no you guys can go.” Tiffany said giving Taeyeon the wink.
“Yeah, I think I’ll stay. There’s actually something from English class that I didn’t get so
I think I’ll ask Tiffany to help me on that.” Taeyeon said. She knew what Tiffany was up
to.
“Um, okay.” Yuri replied with a weird look on her face but decided to ignore them and
walk over to Tiffany’s and Jessica’s room to wake up Jessica. “Jessica, I’m ready to go.”
She said.
“Ok.” Jessica replied as she stretches out of her bed.
So after Yuri and Jessica get their bags and phones they headed out.

Taeyeon a peck on her left cheek. “I won.” She said jumping off the bed as quickly as she
could.
“YA! HWANG MI YOUNG!” Taeyeon shouted and was about to chase Tiffany and give
her a lesson but by the time she gets off her bed, Tiffany had already went through the
bathroom doors back to her room. “Ugh, that girl.” She grumbled and wipes her cheek. “I
have to teach her a lesson!”
***
After Yuri and Jessica finished eating from the restaurant they decided to go on a little
walk before headed home.
“Did you like the food, Jessica?” Yuri asked.
“It was good.”
“Do you like to sleep, Jessica?”
“Uh huh.”
“Do you like to eat, Jessica?”
“Yes.”
“Do you like Tiffany, Jessica?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 115/252
“Uh huh…” Jessica paused, realizing she has just admitted it to Yuri without knowing it.
“As a friend, yes.” She added trying to cover up her mistake.
“What about me, do you like me?” Yuri asked as she looks at Jessica. “As a friend, of
course.”
“Yuri ah…” Jessica hesitated. “I’m really not worthy of all your effort. You will only
hurt yourself if you keep this up.” She warned.
“I’ve already told you. I’m determined to melt the ice in your heart.” Yuri responded.
“And just the fact that you’re saying this to me shows that I’ve made progress.” She
continued with a smile on her face.
“Yuri_”
“Jessica.” Yuri interrupts. “You can’t stop me. And if you really don’t want to hurt me
then just…let me into your ice castle. And give me a chance to melt those thick walls of
ice around your heart.” Yuri stated as she looks deeply in Jessica’s eyes. And for that
moment she could felt as though, she could see the warm-hearted Jessica through her
eyes. The real pure hearted Jessica that was covered by the numerous layers of ice.
“Yuri…” Jessica paused. No one has ever put in so much effort to me as her since Tiffany
She is a really nice girl, I have to admit. And I have been tempted many times to allow
her into my heart, to be able to comfort my pains. I dont know how long I can keep
resisting the temptation anymore. Because as my heart weakens, the more I feel the need
of a comforting shoulder to lean on. Yuri ah…wait just a bit longer. I want to overcome
my own problem bef ore letting you into my heart. You dont deserve to be just a shoulder
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 116/252
to lean on when Im in rough times. You deserve to be more than that. Jessica thought as
she looked at Yuri’s pair of eyes, hoping that Yuri would understand how she feels right
now. “I_”
“Jessica, watch out!” Yuri shouted as she reaches her hand out to grab Jessica’s hand.
Finally she was able to grab Jessica’s hand and pull Jessica towards her own body.
Jessica did not know what has happened and was surprised by Yuri’s action. It was not
until another split second that she felt something passes by her back at high speed. She
was startled and tightens her grip around Yuri’s waist closing her eyes. Seeing how
Jessica reacted, Yuri wrapped her arms around her to calm her down as she look towards
the red car that had almost hit Jessica. It seems like the driver was drunk since the car
was swerving left to right on the road without pay attention to anyone. After a few more
seconds, Jessica notices how close she was to Yuri and lets go of her body.
“Jessica, are you okay?” Yuri asked with her body as she checks Jessica’s body. “Are
you hurt anywhere?! Aish, stupid drivers these days. If you’re hurt, I’m not going to let
him go.” She stated, still checking if Jessica’s okay.
“Yuri ah, I’m okay.” Jessica responded as she held onto Yuri’s hands confirming that she
is fine. “I’m not hurt.” She reaffirmed herself and looked straight into Yuri’s worried
eyes. And that position was kept for another five seconds before Jessica lets go.
Biting her lips, Yuri suggested “I think we should head home now.” With Jessica’s nod,
the two began to walk home. “What was it that you were going to say earlier?” Yuri
asked trying to change the subject.

“That’s fine but I think I sprained my ankle as well.” Taeyeon replied with a painful
expression on her face.
“Let me take you to the nurse.” Tiffany said as she lifts Taeyeon up.
“No, I want to continue playing.” Taeyeon responded as she pushes Tiffany’s hand away,
trying to stand on her own. “It’s okay Tiffany. I can do it. We only need one more point.”
She said confidently. Tiffany nodded then they went back to their position.
The score is now 5-6 and it is Tiffany’s turn to serve. Tiffany, you have to serve your best
serve now. You cant afford not to. You cant let Taeyeon run and in that case, the only
thing you can do to prevent that is to ace your opponent. You can do it, Tiffany. Hwaiting
Tiffany thought to herself as she prepares her serve. “Hwaiting!” She whispers to herself
as she throws the ball in the air. And with all the strength that she has left Tiffany
smashed the ball with her racket. Tiffany did not even dare to look but when she heard
the loud applause she knew she had done what she needed to do.
“Good games guys.” The four girls said as they shake hands with each other and exit the
court.
“Taeyeon ah, are you okay? Let me help you. Here sit on the bench.” Tiffany said as she
helps support Taeyeon walk to the bench. “Aish, your knee is bleeding. Does it hurt a
lot?” She asked with her worried face as she blows air to Taeyeon’s wound hoping it
would help. As she looks around she saw that the coach has brought the first aid kit and
quickly take it from her. “Thanks coach.” She said as she help Taeyeon clean her wound.
“Does it hurt, TaeTae?”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 119/252
“Ya, Tiffany. You’re making it such a big deal. It’s fine.” Taeyeon insists noticing how
everyone’s eyes were on them.
“No, you’re not fine.” Tiffany argued as she applies the band-aid on the wound. “Let me
take you to the nurse.” She said. Taeyeon was about to refuse but with Tiffany’s glare she
decided not to rebel and just lets Tiffany take her to the nurse.
Tiffany was too blind to Taeyeon that she did not notice how uneasy Jessica was sitting
on the bench. Yuri, on the other hand, paid close attention to Jessica’s uneasiness. She
knew it must be hard for Jessica to see the very person that she loves take care of another
person, worse it’s Taeyeon, the person Tiffany loves. Jessica couldn’t hold it in anymore
and removed herself from the scene. She quickly walks away to an empty place where no
one was.
“Jessica!” Yuri shouted as she rushes behind Jessica.
Yuri, please dont chase after me. Jessica thought as she increases her speed trying to
hide her tears. Please dont chase after me. I dont want to give in to my weak heart and
take you as a rebound. Please dont chase after me. I dont want to show you this side of
me. At least not yet. And she continues to walk away with tears dripping down her face.

“Jessica! Jessica!” Yuri continues to scream as she chases after Jessica. She wasn’t going
to let Jessica be by herself knowing what she has just seen. She sped up and step in front
of Jessica facing her. When she could see her face, Yuri was surprised to see all the tears
on Jessica’s face. “Jessica…”
“Leave me alone!” Jessica yelled then pushed Yuri aside and walked forward. Just as she
was about to continue walking, she felt a tight grip on her wrist pulling her back. It was
no one else but Yuri. Please let me go. Jessica thought.
Once Yuri got a grip of Jessica’s wrist, she pulled her back and hugged her tightly.
Though Jessica struggles to break free, Yuri wasn’t going to let her go by tighten up her
grip even more. Soon, Jessica gave in and cried on Yuri’s shoulder.
“No one was like her.” Jessica cries. “No one cared about me enough to get to know me,
but she did. Because of her, I felt as though in my life there was a bit of warmth. Though
I never show it but only with her do I feel like I’m a warm-hearted person. I love her,
Yuri ah.”
“You’re doing good. Just let it all out. Just cry as much as you need to.” Yuri advised as
she pats on Jessica’s shoulder and forced a smile on her face. Hearing Jessica’s words, it
just tears her heart apart. Although she knew it all along, with Jessica confirming it
herself only worsen the pain. But what hurts her the most right at that moment was the
sight of Jessica’s tears. Each drop of tears that dripped from Jessica’s eyes is like a stab in
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 121/252
her own heart. I cant show her my pains. I have to show her that I am strong, and that I
can give her comfort. Yuri thought as she continues to calm Jessica down.
After another minute of crying, Jessica slowly releases herself and looks at Yuri. “Yuri
ah…” her voice cracks.
Yuri didn’t say anything and just places her hands on Jessica’s cheeks. Then slowly she
uses her thumbs to wipe Jessica’s tears away. After she finished wiping Jessica’s tears
away, Yuri looked into Jessica’s eyes and smiled. “Don’t run away again. If you ever
need a shoulder to lean on, come to me. I will always be there for you if you ever need
me.” She stated.
“Yuri ah_”
“Not only can I be a shoulder for you to lean on, I can also be the next person to melt the
ice in your heart and in your life. I promise I will make you feel warm again, and not only
when you’re with me but also when you’re with just about anyone. Just give me a chance
to do so, huh?” Yuri asked as she looked deeply in Jessica’s eyes with as much sincerely
as she could show. Jessica looked back at Yuri then slowly nodded and hugged Yuri.
I know this is so wrong but it felt so right to finally open my heart for Yuri. I know its
wrong knowing how I gave in to my weakened heart but I just cant bare this pain
anymore. I need someone to ease the pain in my heart, and that person is Yuri.
“Yuri and Jessica to court number 3. I repeat Yuri and Jessica to court number 3.”

“I think they’re calling us.” Yuri said as she lets go of Jessica’s hug. “Are you ready to
hit?” She asked. When Jessica nodded, both of them headed back.
With Tiffany and Taeyeon gone, on the bench were only Sunny and Sooyoung who
continued to watch their teammates. After the four girls introduced themselves, the game
begins. Their opponents were definitely a lot better from the previous ones but if Yuri
and Jessica try their best, it wouldn’t be too bad. And as it seems, both Yuri and Jessica
tried their best at this game. Neither of them was losing their concentration and stayed in
the game the whole match. After much sweat and effort, Yuri and Jessica won by 8-5.

“Is she okay?” asked Tiffany with her worried face again. She couldn’t help but to be so
worried about Taeyeon.
“Her ankle is sprained, that’s all.” The nurse replied as she wraps Taeyeon’s ankle up.
“See, I told you it wasn’t that serious. You were just freaking yourself out.” Taeyeon said
“I’ve wrapped her ankle so she should be fine now. Just try not to walk on that leg,
okay?” The nurse advised.
“So you mean she’ll need crutches or how else can she walk without using that leg?”
Tiffany asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 123/252
“Yes,” The nurse replied. “But I suggest you to not attend class tomorrow if you’re going
to need to be walking at all. You shouldn’t use any strength on that ankle within the next
twenty four hours or else it’ll get worse.” She added.
“Thank you nurse.” Taeyeon thanked as she struggles to get off the patient bed in the
nurse office.
“Ya! What do you think you’re doing? Stop!” Tiffany demanded then bends over in front
of Taeyeon.
“Ya, what are YOU doing?” Taeyeon asked mocking Tiffany.
“Get on, I’ll give you a piggy ride back since you can’t use your ankle.” Tiffany said
widening Taeyeon’s eyes.
“You?! Give ME a piggy ride?” Taeyeon questioned.
“How else do you think you’re going to get back in your room? Do you want to just walk
and damage your ankle even more?” Tiffany reasoned. Taeyeon rolled her eyes but gave
in to Tiffany’s demand and got on her back. “Gosh, you’re heavy for your size.” Tiffany
remarked.
“Hey! Then let me off!” Taeyeon shouted.
“No!” Tiffany responded then slowly carries Taeyeon back to the dorm. Although it took
her quite a while to go up the stairs, she was able to make it to the dorm. “Luckily we
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 124/252
only live on the second floor.” She said while dropping Taeyeon on her bed. She breathed
heavily then drops herself on the bed as well next to Taeyeon.
“You’re the one who asked for it.” Taeyeon mocked looking at the panting Tiffany next
to her. “Ya, go shower or something. You’ve been sweating the whole day and now it
smells so bad.” Taeyeon commanded.
“You say it like as if you’re not smelly.” Tiffany rolled her eyes. “Fine, I’ll go take
shower. And once I’m done, I’ll help you shower.” She winked then hops off to her room
to prepare to shower.
“What does that suppose to mean?” Taeyeon blinked in confusion. “Wait, is she telling
me that she’s going to shower for me?!” Taeyeon asked herself in shock. Just then the
door slowly unlocks and Yuri came in. “What happened? You looked brighter today.”
She asked.
“Nothing.” Yuri replied with a smile and just sat on your bed. “How is your ankle?” She
asked, remembering what happened during their game.
“I’m fine. I just sprained my ankle that’s all but Tiffany made it sound like such a big
deal.” Taeyeon replied as she stares at her ankle. “Where’s Jessica?” She asked.
“Oh, she’s in her room. Probably sleeping again.” Yuri responded.
“Sleeping? Doesn’t she hate it when she’s all sweaty?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 125/252
“Oh, we took our shower in the locker room knowing it would take forever for all of us to
shower back here.” Yuri replied as she lies down on her bed. “Didn’t you notice I was
wearing a different outfit?” She asked Taeyeon back.
“Oh, I see.” Taeyeon said. “Wait, you guys took a shower…together?!” She asked
causing Yuri to jump up on her bed.
“Ya! What are you thinking?” Yuri yelled and knocked Taeyeon’s head lightly. “Get
your mind out of the gutter.” She demanded. “There are more than one shower stall in the
locker room.”
Wow, what was I thinking asking that? Is it because Tiffany had just told me she was
going to ‘help me shower? Taeyeon thought in her mind as she smiled nervously back at
Yuri. “I wasn’t thinking dirty, it was just the way you said it.” She blamed Yuri.
“Ya Taeyeon. It’s still early, we should all go do something fun.” Yuri excitedly
suggested. Taeyeon didn’t say anything and just stares at her ankle. It took Yuri another
second to remember that Taeyeon had sprained her ankle. “Oh…I’m sorry.” She
apologized.
“TaeTae, I’m done showering!” Tiffany shouted as she walks out from the bathroom to
Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s side. “Now let me help you shower.” She added widening Yuri’s
eyes who was just sitting there. “Oh, hey Yuri!” Tiffany smiled once she noticed that
Yuri was also in the room.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 126/252
“No wonder you asked if Jessica and I showered together. ‘Cause you guys were going
to!” Yuri mumbled to Taeyeon’s ears. After hearing what Yuri had to say Taeyeon
quickly shakes her head and hands denying it.
“What’s wrong?” Tiffany asked with a curious face seeing how Taeyeon shook her head.
“Anyways, let me help you shower. You’re so smelly.” She said as she help Taeyeon gets
up.
“You guys have fun. I’ll go check on Jessica.” Yuri stated then quickly went to Jessica’s
side not wanting to see what Tiffany and Taeyeon were about to do.
“What are you doing?” Taeyeon asked as she struggles not to get pulled into the
bathroom by Tiffany.
“What else?”

Chapter 21
“Just come in here.” Tiffany commanded pulling Taeyeon into the shower stall. “Lift up
your_ Never mind, I’ll do it for you.” Tiffany said causing Taeyeon to widen her eyes
and cover her body with her arms.
“Ya! Hwang Mi Young, stay back!” Taeyeon shouted. Tiffany rolled her eyes and
walked towards Taeyeon. As Tiffany gets closer to her, Taeyeon just closed her eyes and
tighten her grip on her own body.
“What are you doing?” Tiffany asked as she bends down and wrapped Taeyeon’s injured
leg with a bag. Then she tightly taped around the bag sealing Taeyeon’s leg. “The nurse
said you can’t wet your leg either so hopefully this should do.” Explained Tiffany.
“Huh?” Taeyeon let out reopening her eyes. “You meant lift up my leg?”
“What did you think I was telling you to lift up? Your shirt?” Tiffany shook her head in
disbelief. “Ya! Kim Taeyeon, what kind of person do you think I am?!” She yelled. “I
also put a chair in the shower stall for you in case you weren’t able to stand. Hmph!” She
stated and made a face then left the bathroom.
***
While Taeyeon and Tiffany were in the shower, Yuri came to see Jessica in her room.
When Yuri was in the room, she noticed that Jessica was sleep again. She shook her head
and walked towards the bed.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 128/252
“Look at you, sleeping peacefully already. And you were just crying so much earlier.”
Yuri mumbled to herself and smiled at the sight of the sleeping beauty Jessica. Ive never
taken such a close-up glance her sleeping like this. Yuri thought as she continues to
watch Jessica. Jessica ah, you are truly a sleeping beauty. Have you ever seen yourself
sleep? You are so beautiful. Slowly she finds her hand reaching her Jessica’s hair, then
brushing it gently. Suddenly Jessica made some movements causing Yuri to retract her
hand quickly.
“Yuri, what are you doing here?” Jessica asked as she slowly opens her eyes.
“Uh…I…I.” Yuri stuttered trying to think of something to say. “I came to ask you what
you want to eat.” She made up. But seeing Jessica looks like she’s not believing the
excuse, Yuri added. “Since Taeyeon can’t walk, I was thinking maybe we should order
something and ask them to deliver. So yeah, what do you want to eat so I can order?”
Then she let out a nervous smile.
“Oh. Why don’t we just go down to the cafeteria and buy something back for all of us?”
Jessica suggested.
“Yeah, I didn’t think of that.” Yuri said.
“Okay, just wake me up when we’re going.” Jessica stated then went back to sleep.
“Did she just went back to sleep?” Yuri mumbled to herself as she stares at Jessica,
who’s sleeping soundly already. Just when she was about to turn around, Tiffany came in
the room.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 129/252
“Jessica’s asleep already?” Tiffany asked looking at Jessica. “Sleeping beauty will
always be sleeping beauty.” Tiffany shook her head and sighs.
After Taeyeon finish showering the girls went down to the cafeteria to buy their dinner
and brought it back to their dorm so they could eat together with Taeyeon.
***
Morning came and Taeyeon slowly stretches her arms out. She yawns then wipes her
eyes with her hands. When she had finally opens her eyes while still lying on the bed, she
noticed that Tiffany’s face was inches always from her, staring straight at her…as if she
has been watching her sleep the whole time.
“Ya! You scared me! Don’t you know it’s scary to wake up and find someone’s face right
next to their own?!” Taeyeon shouted as she jumps up on her bed from the fright. Then
seeing all Tiffany does is smiling she rolled her eyes and looked around the room.
“Where’s Yuri?” She finally asked.
“Yuri and Jessica are in class.” Tiffany replied still staring at Taeyeon’s face.
“Oh.” Taeyeon acknowledged. Then it finally hit her, “Wait. Then why aren’t you?” She
asked.
“Because I have to take care of you since you can’t walk.” Tiffany responded with a
smile then sat on Taeyeon’s bed. “Don’t worry, I’ve already ask Yuri and Jessica to take
good notes so we can catch up.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 130/252
“Eh? Take care of me? You?” Taeyeon chuckled. “You just want to skip school and stay
with me.”
“You’re only half right. You were right when you said that I wanted to stay with you but
going to school or not doesn’t matter to me as long as I’m with you.” Tiffany smiled
again.
Taeyeon shrugged at Tiffany’s statement. “Ya, you’re giving me goose bumps.
Tiffany…” she hesitated. “Is it possible that you…like me?”
“I do!”
“Not as a friend, but as if you like me like me.” She restated her question.
“It’s very possible!” Tiffany responded but then she was afraid that it would freak
Taeyeon out if she confesses to her right now. “But I don’t. Babo, what’s on your mind?”
Tiffany added and knocked Taeyeon’s head lightly. If only you would ever know,
Taeyeon. Tiffany thought as she sighs in her mind.
“What? It’s reasonable for me to think that. You have taken advantage of me before.”
Taeyeon claimed glaring at Tiffany.
“Whatever. Hey are you hungry?” Tiffany asked. With Taeyeon nodding her head she
added, “Let me get you some food from the cafeteria. I’ll be right back.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 131/252
After getting the food from the cafeteria, Tiffany headed back to the dorm. On her way
back she bumped into someone that she did not wish to see at all.
“Hey Tiffany.” Junsu said. “Shouldn’t you be in class right now? And where’s your
girlfriend’ that you hang out with day and night?” He asked.
“Oh, Taeyeon sprained her ankle and did not to class today so I stayed with her too. Now
I’m just buying her breakfast so we can eat together.” Tiffany forced out a smile on her
face.
“I’m just kidding, Tiffany.” He chuckled confusing Tiffany as it shows on her face. “I’ve
actually been over Taeyeon a few weeks ago. I was going to tell you guys that day when
you bumped into me but you guys just walked off.” He explained. “So yeah, you guys
don’t have to act anymore. I’ve known it all along.” He added.
“What?!” Tiffany asked. “So you mean, you don’t care about Taeyeon anymore?” She
reaffirmed her beliefs. After Junsu nodded she thought to herself, Oh no. I cant let
Taeyeon know this. Shell stop acting like a couple with me. “We weren’t acting. We’re
really together. Anyways, I have to bring back our breakfast or else it’ll be cold. I’ll talk
to you later, Junsu!” She bowed and greeted farewell then walks off. Hopefully well
never see you again so you wont be able to tell Taeyeon about it.
***
So finally the school day was over. Jessica went into her room and Yuri went in hers. But
as soon as Yuri opens the door, she saw Taeyeon sleeping on her own bed and Tiffany on
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 132/252
hers. Aish these lazy pigs. Yuri thought as she closes the door. After putting her bags and
books down she went to Jessica’s side through the bathroom doors.
“What’s up?” Jessica asked when she saw Yuri came over. She was already lying on her
bed only a minute after she got in the room.
“Taeyeon and Tiffany are sleeping over there so I didn’t want to disturb them.” Yuri
responded. “On different beds though.” She added. Then there was a long silent between
them. Neither had nothing to say to each other. “Jessica, do you know what melts ice?”
Yuri asked breaking the silent.
“I don’t know, fire?” Jessica responded.
“Exactly! So I have a lighter right here, let me see if it could melt the ice in you.” Yuri
declared as she sat down on Jessica’s bed with the lighter in her hand.
“Ya, what are you doing? Are you crazy?” Jessica questioned as she sat up on her bed.
“Don’t you know it’s dangerous to play with fire?
“It might work, let’s try it.” Yuri suggested as she flicks the lighter on causing a little fire
to appear.
“Ya! Kwon Yuri!”
As Yuri moves her hand towards Jessica, she showed a sign of pain and released the gas
button on the lighter. “Ow!” She cried.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 133/252
“Ya, are you okay? I told you not to play with fire.” Jessica lectured. Unknowingly she
had held on to Yuri’s hand and rubs it gently. “Does it hurt?” She asked with a worried
face and continues to rub Yuri’s hand.
Seeing Jessica’s worried face, Yuri couldn’t help but to smile. “I told you fire would
work.” Yuri stated in her calm voice still smiling.
“Wait, did you just trick me?” Jessica questioned. Seeing the smile on Yuri’s face she
knew she had been tricked. “Jerk!” She shouted then hits Yuri lightly on her shoulder.
“You’re already warming up to me. Am I that irresistible?” Yuri joked as she flings her
hair.
“In your dreams.” Jessica said then kicked Yuri making her fall off the bed.
“Ya, that actually hurt.” Yuri whines as she rubs the back of her head.
“That’s what you get!” Jessica stated. “I’m going back to sleep.” With that she covered
herself with the blanket. She didn’t really want to sleep, she just needed to cover up the
smile that she couldn’t hold in any longer.
Since she couldn’t go back to her room, Yuri decided to take a nap on Tiffany’s bed.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here

Chapter 22
The next day, Taeyeon returned to classes again. Although she was limping along the
way, Tiffany was always there to help her. Soon Taeyeon was able to recover fully.
Tennis practice was just over and the four girls returned to their dorms to shower. Tiffany
was the last one to shower and thus finished last. Once she finished drying her hair, she
quickly came over to Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s room.
“Where’s Taeyeon?” Tiffany asked looking around the room then made a pout.
“Uh…” Yuri hesitated. “Taeyeonnie…went out with Sunny and Sooyoung.” She
answered. “She didn’t tell you?”
“What?! She went out with Sunny and Sooyoung and didn’t even tell me?!” Tiffany
grumbled with a frustrated face. Then she pulled out her phone and dialed Taeyeon’s
number. “Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voicemail.” She dialed again and
the same thing happened. “Ugh!” Tiffany grumbles again as she walks back to her room.
***
“That movie was so good!” Taeyeon remarked as the three of them walk out from the
theater. “And Kang Dong Wan was so cute in it.” She smiled.
“Yeah the movie was really good.” Sunny agreed. “Hmm, I’m hungry do you guys want
to eat something?” She asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 135/252
“I do!” Sooyoung shouted in agreement. Both Taeyeon and Sunny laughed at Sooyoung
and headed for a restaurant near by.
And as the three walk towards the restaurant, Taeyeon took out her phone and turn it
back on. Once she saw the screen of her phone, her eyes widen and her jaw dropped. 52
missed calls?!?! 18 voicemails?!?! And 22 text messages?! What the heck? Was there an
emergency? Wait…theyres all from Tiffany. Taeyeon thought as she looks through her
phone. Then as she was about to read one of the text messages, her phone rang. It was no
one other than Tiffany. “Hello?” Taeyeon answered.
“Ya! Kim Taeyeon! Where were you?! Why didn’t you pick up my phone calls?! Why
didn’t you return my text?! Oh wait, your phone was off. Why was your phone off?! Why
didn’t you tell me you were going out with Sunny and Sooyoung?! Are you trying to
avoid me? Or hide from me?! Ya! Kim Taeyeon! Aren’t you going to answer me?!”
Tiffany shouted from the other line. So loud that even the other pedestrians near by can
hear. If Taeyeon hadn’t held her phone 3 inches from her ear, she might have gone deaf.
“Ya!” Taeyeon shouted back. “First of all, lower your voice! You’re about to make me
go deaf!” Taeyeon stated. “Second of all, I couldn’t have answer you because you had
your little monologue there, how am I suppose to answer you?! Third, I turned off my
phone because I was in the theater thus I didn’t get any of your calls or texts. Anyways,
I’m going to eat with Sunny and Sooyoung before we head home so I’m going to hang up
now. And don’t you call back or else I swear you won’t be alive the next morning.” With
that Taeyeon hung up without letting Tiffany say another word. She then turned to Sunny
and Sooyoung and smiled shyly. “Sorry about that.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 136/252
“You guys are just like husband and wives.” Sunny joked.
“Don’t tease me, you know we’re just a fake couple.” Taeyeon responded. “She is so
annoying sometimes.” She added.
***
“Ya!” Tiffany shouted in her phone but it was too late, Taeyeon had already hanged up.
“Ugh!”
“Are you really going to wait for her?” Yuri asked as she sits on her bed reading a book.
“Yup!”
Yuri shook her head. “What’s Jessica doing?” She asked.
“Sleeping.” Tiffany answered. “Ya, Yuri. Why are you so interested in Jessica? Do you
like her?” She raised her eyebrows and questioned Yuri.
“What are you talking about?” Yuri replied acting dumb.
“You know what I’m talking about.” Tiffany smirked.
“What about you? Do you like Jessica?” Yuri asked and paid close attention to what
Tiffany has to say.
“She is my best friend of course I do.” Tiffany replied.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 137/252
“What do you think of her?”
“In what area?”
“Um…her looks? Her personality?”
“Well, you know. Jessica wasn’t nicknamed the sleeping beauty and the ice princess just
because of her hobby and her personality. She is truly beautiful.” Tiffany described.
“Never mind about me, what do YOU think of Jessica?” She questioned Yuri back. “I
can tell by the way you look at her that you’re in love with her.”
Wow youre so observant when its about other peoples business and not so much about
yourself, just like Taeyeon. Yuri thought in her mind as she rolled her eyes at Tiffany.
“What about you? I know you are in love with Taeyeon. In fact, the whole world knows
it.” Yuri tried to change the subject.
“What? Is it wrong to love someone?” Tiffany responded then her mood drop as she
added, “If only she was one of those people who knew.”
“It’s okay, Tiffany. She’ll figure it all out one day and you guys will be together.” Yuri
encouraged Tiffany.
And so Yuri continued to read her book while Tiffany lay down on Taeyeon’s bed
waiting for her to come home. Thirty minutes passed. When Yuri turned over to check on
Tiffany, she had already fallen asleep. Yuri chuckled lightly. At that moment she thought
of something then quietly get off her bed and went over to Tiffany’s and Jessica’s room.

“You promised you would give me a chance to melt the ice. And this is the first lesson,
now do it.” Yuri demanded. Jessica refused to do it by shaking her head.
“I’m a promise breaker.” She responded.
“If you don’t do it, I’m going to tell Tiffany that you’ve been secretly in love with her.”
Yuri blackmailed Jessica and noticed how her eyes widen and slowly and unwillingly
agree to Yuri’s demand.
“Hi, Yuri.” Jessica forced out in her cold and unwillingly tone.
Yuri rolled her eyes as she heard Jessica. “You better do it right.”
Even though she made a face, Jessica gave in and repeated, “Hi, Yuri” in a more friendly
tone.
“Good. Now say Hi, Yuri’ again with a sweet smile on your face.” Yuri directed.
“Ya! You don’t know what you’re asking for.” Jessica whined.
“I’ll buy you another ice cream cone.” Yuri added.
“Deal.”
Yuri smiled seeing how easy it is to get Jessica to do something. “Then do it.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 140/252
Once again she made a face then finally did what Yuri asked for. “Hi, Yuri.” Jessica said
with a sweet smile on her face. A smile that wouldn’t have happened in a million years if
Yuri hadn’t bribed her for it.
Jessica’s sweet smile led Yuri in a wonder land as she smiled back to Jessica. Woah.
Jessica just smiled…Jessica just smiled! To me! I will never forget this moment in my life.
Yuri thought as she dazed out on Jessica’s smile.
“Ya. Yuri ah!” Jessica called as she waves her hand back and forth in front of Yuri’s
dazed out face. “Snap out of it. I know I’m pretty but do you have to be so obvious?” She
stated.
Finally, Yuri snapped out of it when she heard Jessica calling her. “You? Pretty? Keep
dreaming.” Yuri said. “I was dazing off because of that cute boy that just walked by
behind you.” She added, lying about what had gone off in her mind just a while ago.
“Eh?” Jessica turned around and saw no one. “Where?” She asked.
“He’s gone now.”
“Whatever. Aren’t you going to buy me another ice cream cone?” Jessica questioned as
she finished off the cone that she had.

"Ah!" Jessica yelled.
By the time Yuri turned her head around, Jessica was already on the ground. "Jessica,
what's wrong?!" She yelled and quickly runs back to Jessica. "Are you okay? Are you
hurt?" Yuri asked worriedly kneeled down at the same level as Jessica.
"You're not the only one who knows how you use trick." Jessica announced as she
snatched the ice cream cone from Yuri’s hand and pushes the worried Yuri on the ground
Seeing Yuri's butt hit the floor, she sticks out her tongue and finishes her ice cream. Yuri
didn't respond and only shows signs of pain. "Ya, Yuri. Don't play tricks on me again."
Jessica said poking Yuri.
"I think I sprained my ankle. No, I think YOU sprained my ankle." Yuri replied as she
tries to stand up. Unfortunately she wasn't able to but luckily Jessica caught Yuri in time.
"And now I can't walk." She added staring at Jessica.
"Ya, I didn't mean to...I just wanted my ice cream back. It's your fault for tricking
me...Fine, here. Let me carry you back." Jessica offered with a guilty face. Yuri didn't
mind it at all and got on Jessica's back.
Ha! You think you can beat me at playing tricks? Yuri thought as she smirked at her
smartness.
***
"Do you ever eat? You're so light." Jessica commented as she carries Yuri in the room.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 143/252
"Ya, Yuri. What happened to you? Why are you on Jessica's back?" Tiffany, who was
still in the room, asked when she saw Yuri and Jessica came in the room.
"Oh. Jessica just loves me a lot and offered me a piggy ride back here. Nothing is wrong
with me, see?" Yuri claimed then hops off of Jessica's back and sat on her bed.
"OooOh. You tricked me again!!!" Jessica yelled pointed her index finger at Yuri who
stuck her tongue out.
"Jessica, is that you?" Tiffany asked curiously and placed her hand on Jessica's forehead.
"You're actually playing around with Yuri?"
Jessica stared at Tiffany's hand on her forehead then looked back at Yuri. "I wasn't
playing around. She was just treating me to ice cream." Jessica replied and shoves
Tiffany's hand off her forehead. "I'm going to sleep now." She said walking back to her
room.
When Tiffany noticed Jessica had gone through the bathroom doors, she looked at Yuri.
"Treating her to ice cream? And you tell me you don't like her?"
Tiffany refused to return to her room and fell asleep as she waits for Taeyeon to return.
Yuri also fell asleep as it was getting late.
Taeyeon, Sunny and Sooyoung actually decided to go to a noraebang (karaoke), thus
returning later than expected. By the time she was in her room, Taeyeon saw Tiffany
sleeping on her bed.

"Ya, Tiffany." Taeyeon whispered in Tiffany's ear as she pats her shoulder.
Tiffany yawned then slowly opens her eyes. "Taeyeon!" She said excitedly, almost
shouting out loud.
"What are you doing on my bed?" Taeyeon asked in a lowly tone not wanting to wake
Yuri up.
"Waiting for you of course since you told me not to call you back." Tiffany answered
with a pout on her face.
"Eh?" Taeyeon shook her head in disbelief. "Well, I'm back now. So go back to your
room and sleep." She demanded.
"Fine."
***
"Ya, why are you acting like this?" Taeyeon asked as she eats her breakfast sitting across
from Tiffany. Besides her was Yuri and Jessica was across from Yuri. "I just went out
with my friends. Do I need to report everything to you?" She questioned with much
annoyance.
"I...I was just...worried." Tiffany replied trying to hide her jealousy towards Sunny. "I'm
sorry, ok?" She smiled nervously trying to make up for what she did.
Taeyeon shook her head. "Always smiling. I don't know if I should consider that a good
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 145/252
thing or not." She remarked at the smiling Tiffany.
"Ya. You better watch yourself. I might be the only good thing that will happen in your
life. And once you lose me, you will regret everything you have and haven’t done to me."
Tiffany responded with much confidence and smirked. Taeyeon, on the other hand, just
rolled her eyes at Tiffany carried on with her breakfast. "Well, I need to use the restroom,
so I'll be back in a bit." Tiffany said with a smile then stood up.
After a while a group of random guys approached their table.
"So where's your little girlfriend?" A random guy mocked Taeyeon as he and a group of
other guys walked pass Taeyeon.
"Shut up." She replied.
"Yeah, aren't you guys together twenty four seven? Day AND night?" Another boy from
the group mocked Taeyeon and laughed with the rest of the group.
"I said shut up already." Taeyeon affirmed with anger in her tone. Ugh, these boys are so
immature. And it's all Tiffany's fault for causing so much drama in my freshman year .
Taeyeon thought.
"Why, aren't we saying the truth?"
Jessica was about to stand up and give the guy a slap across the face when Yuri held her
back shaking her head. "Taeyeon, are you just going to let them talk like that?" Jessica
asked with a yelling tone towards Taeyeon but Taeyeon didn't say anything. Jessica felt
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 146/252
mad that the very person that Tiffany loves so much is not doing anything about the
situation, even if they were talking about Tiffany.
"And who are you? Her other girlfriend?" Another guy joked and laughed away at
Jessica's face.
This time, Yuri had put up with all the remarks and softly said. "Ok, that's it." It was so
soft that no one actually understood what she said until she stood up and splashed her
glass of milk into the guy's face, the one that made fun of Jessica. "You GIRLS better
learn how respect other people." She raised her voice screaming directly into the guy's
face. She was mad. She was really mad. The glare that she gave that boy probably left a
huge mark in his life since he just stood there and swallowed hard then ran away. The
tension grew and all eyes were on Yuri.
"You! You better watch yourself." Another guy from the group warned pointing his
finger at Yuri. Then they all turn around and left.
"That's what you get for making fun of my Jes_" Yuri paused, "my friends." She
corrected herself. Once she turned around, she noticed that both Jessica and Taeyeon
were staring at her. "What?" She asked innocently with a nervous smile then sat back
down at the table.
"You were...great." Taeyeon said still staring at Yuri in disbelief of what she has just seen
"Yeah..." Jessica agreed.
"Hey, I'm back!" Tiffany excitedly shouted then sat down across from Taeyeon. Seeing
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 147/252
how unexcited the girls look, Tiffany questioned. "What's wrong? Did something happen
while I was away?"
"Nothing." Jessica replied. "I'm going back to the dorm now. I can't stand the sight of
someone, right now." She left the cold remark then left.
"Jessica!" Tiffany called but did not get a respond. "What happened?"
"I'm going back to my room too." Taeyeon stated then stood up from the table and
headed back to the dorm.
"Can someone tell me what just happened?" Tiffany questioned looking back and forth at
Taeyeon who was leaving and Yuri.
"It's nothing. Come on. Let's go back too, Tiffany." Yuri suggested then grabbed
Tiffany's hand and the two headed back to the dorm.
Tiffany decided that maybe it wasn't the right time to ask and kept her quiet. So everyone
went back to their room, even Tiffany. She knew it’s not the best time to bother Taeyeon,
especially after what she did last night, so she stayed in her room with Jessica.

Chapter 24
“Ya, Yuri ah. I didn’t know you had that in you.” Taeyeon commented when Yuri arrives
in their room.
“I just felt annoyed.” Yuri responded then sat on her bed.
“It seems like that wasn’t the case. You were mad because they made fun of Jessica,
right?” Taeyeon asked though she knew that she was right.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“It’s so obvious. You like Jessica. I can see it.”
Again, so clear about other peoples business when youre so blind to your own. Yuri
thought as she remembers her conversation with Tiffany last night. “You’re wrong.” She
denied.
“Whatever, you know it’s true.” Taeyeon asserted. “Speaking of Jessica, what’s with her
today? She never seemed to care about anything but did you see her getting all emotional
And what she said before she left?” Taeyeon exclaimed.
“Well, you should consider the fact that those guys were making fun of Tiffany, her best
friend.” Yuri reasoned though she knows that Jessica sees Tiffany as more than just a best
friend.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 149/252
“But what does that have to do with me? I’m not her best friend.” Taeyeon raised her
voice.
Yuri just shook her head at Taeyeon. “I still don’t get why you’re so heartless to Tiffany.
She’s such a sweet girl.”
“Sweet? 52 missed calls, 18 voicemails, and 22 text messages? You call that, sweet?”
Taeyeon questioned.
“Well, she’s a bit impatient and impulsive, that’s all.” Yuri rebutted still trying to defend
Tiffany.
“You will never know how I feel, Yuri.” Taeyeon said as she lies down her bed, feeling
defeated by Yuri’s stubbornness.
“And you will never know how she feels.” Yuri mumbled then she lies down and took
out her phone. “How are feeling?” Yuri typed then sent the message. After a while of
lying on her bed waiting, her phone vibrated signaling that she has received a new text
message. She read it to herself, “Fine.” Yuri rolled her eyes at the response.
“Can’t you give me a better response than that?”
“Ok, how about, I am fine?”
“Ya, Ice Princess. Can’t you_” Yuri was typing the message when she received another
one that says. “Actually, I am not fine. I was scared by your action early.” Reading the
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 150/252
message in her mind, she chuckled a bit and wrote back another message. “If I hadn’t
done anything, I’m sure you would have done something worse. Am I right?”
“Maybe.”
“Did you tell Tiffany what happened?”
“No. She didn’t ask. She’s just lying on her bed playing with her laptop. I would have
been sleeping if someone hadn’t text me.”
“Hehe, sorry. Hey, Jessica. I’m bored, what do you recommend that I do?”
“I don’t know, sleep? And dream of me? That should be fun.”
“No wonder you sleep all the time. It’s so you can dream of me, right?”
“In your dreams. So yeah, you should go dream of me dreaming of you, so I can sleep
too.”
***
“Ya, Jessica. Why are giggling over there?” Tiffany asked staring at Jessica from her bed.
“I wasn’t giggling. You must be schizophrenic.” Jessica responded denying the fact that
she has been giggling while texting with Yuri.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 151/252
“Whatever. Aren’t you usually asleep, at this time?” Tiffany asked again. This time she
was smarter and slowly walks over to Jessica’s bed. She noticed that Jessica’s phone was
vibrating next to her pillow, and before Jessica could grab it, Tiffany quickly snatched it
away from her. “Ah…you and Yuri are texting each other. No wonder.” Tiffany asserted
and looks through the texts that were exchanged between Yuri and Jessica.
“Ya! Give me my phone back!” Jessica shouted and got up from her bed trying to snatch
the phone back from Tiffany.
“Oh, you guys are planning on dreaming of each other? How sweet.” Tiffany teased as
she continues to read the texts. “Ya, Jessica. You never talk to me like that, and I’m your
best friend. I’m jealous.” She stated still trying to keep Jessica away from her phone.
“When did you guys start? How come I didn’t know about this?”
“None of your business. Ya! Give me back my phone!” Jessica shouted and chased
Tiffany around the room trying to get her phone back. She heard the phone vibrated again
“Jessica ah, do you want to go to the movies tonight? Just me and you?” Tiffany read the
text messages out loud. “Yes, I would love you.” Tiffany wrote back in Jessica’s name.
“YA! I didn’t agree!”
“It’s great Jessica. You’re going to have a new friend, a girlfriend.” Tiffany teased
Jessica again “You know you’d agree anyways if it wasn’t because of me.”
“That’s it. I’m getting my phone back.” Jessica stated then pretty much jumped Tiffany.
Once Tiffany was down on the floor, Jessica grabbed her phone out of Tiffany’s hand. By

“Uh…”Yuri hesitated looking back to Jessica with a puzzled look.
“How about me, you, Taeyeon, and Sunny get some ice cream instead?” Tiffany
suggested trying to help Yuri out. “I’m sure you would like ice cream, more right?”
“Yeah! Let’s go get ice cream then.” Sooyoung quickly replied in excitement.
Yuri showed sign of relief causing Jessica to giggle in her mind. After 30 more minutes
of eating the groups began to part in front of the cafeteria.
“Yuri and Jessica, you guys have fun.” Tiffany said giving Jessica a wink.
As they were about to part, a voice suddenly shouted “Yuri unnie!” catching Yuri’s
attention. When Yuri turned around, she found herself hugged tightly by another girl.
“Yuri unnie! I missed you so much!” The girl claimed. All eyes were on them, especially
Jessica who was standing next to Yuri. After a while the girl lets go of Yuri and finally
Yuri was able to identify who it was. The girl was extremely pretty, even prettier than a
flower.
“Yoona?” Yuri asked in surprised to who is in front of her. “What are you doing here?”
“Aren’t you happy to see me?” Yoona questioned.
“Of course, I am.” Yuri responded. “But answer me, what are you doing here?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 154/252
“I got transfer here! I missed unnie so much that I had to transfer here to be able to go to
the same school as unnie.” She replied with a smile on her face. “Aren’t you happy?”
“Of course, I am!” Yuri excitedly responded to the news that just came to her.
“Oh, hey Taeyeon unnie!” Yoona turned around and greeted Taeyeon with a smile.
“Oh hey, Yoona. How have you been? I haven’t seen you in a while.” Taeyeon replied.
“I have been good, unnie.” Yoona answered. “Yuri unnie, you have to show me around!
Let’s go!” she demanded and swings Yuri’s arm back and forth.
“Uh…I_” Yuri hesitated again looking at Jessica.
“Come on let’s go.” Yoona said and dragged Yuri unwillingly along. “Bye all the
unnies!”
“Ya, Yoona. Calm down.” Yuri asserted then turns her head back to Jessica. “Jessica, I’m
sorry. We’ll go to the movies another time, okay?” She was only able to say that before
Yoona dragged her off. “And sorry you guys, I’ll introduce her to you all later.” She
apologized for Yoona’s rudeness.
“Then you should come with us, Jessica.” Sooyoung invited.
“No, I think I’ll head back to the dorm.” Jessica replied feeling a bit of disappointment as
she looks towards Yuri and a girl that’s supposedly “Yoona”. “Tiffany, don’t forget to get
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 155/252
me a cone when you head back.” She added, not wanting to miss out on the food, even
though she doesn’t feel very happy.
“Um, ok.” Tiffany replied.
I wonder who that is to Yuri. Jessica thought as she heads back towards her room.
Chapter 25
Morning came and Tiffany with Jessica and Taeyeon were found eating breakfast in the
cafeteria. Yuri was nowhere in sight.
“Where’s Yuri?” Tiffany asked seeing how Jessica didn’t seem right.
“Yuri and Yoona went to the theme park together this morning.” Taeyeon replied.
“Theme park? That early?”
“Yeah. They used to always be together before moving to Seoul.” Taeyeon explained.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 156/252
“I’m going back to read now.” Jessica declared and stood up right after she finished
eating her bowl of cereal. Whether she really wanted to go back to her room to read was
unknown, though it was obvious that when Yoona was mentioned her mood was even
worse.
After Jessica had gotten out of the cafeteria, Tiffany turned to Taeyeon and asked. “Ya,
so who’s this Yoona?”
“Eh? Why do you care?”
“Can’t you see? Yoona totally interrupted Yuri and Jessica’s date last night.” Tiffany
responded. “So who is she to Yuri?”
Taeyeon chuckled, Now Yuri is going to know how I feel when interrupted when she
wants to be with someone else. “She’s Yuri’s cousin.”
“Oh…it’s just her cousin.” Tiffany showed signs of relief. “Hey, how about we join Yuri
and Yoona at the theme park?” She excitedly suggested smiling her way out.
“No.”
“Please?” Tiffany pouted.
“Don’t you still have homework to do?” Taeyeon asked avoiding Tiffany’s pout.
“No, I finished it while waiting for you the other night.” Tiffany replied with an excited
smile still on her face.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 157/252
“Hey, what are you guys up to?” Sunny’s voice was suddenly heard.
“Oh hey, Sunny, hey Sooyoung! You guys want to go to the theme park?” Taeyeon asked
with a smile when she saw Sunny and Sooyoung.
“Yeah! I’d love to.” Sunny replied with a smile though she noticed that Tiffany didn’t
look happy at all. Actually she was pretty disappointed that Taeyeon had just told her
“no” but when Sunny came, it was a different story.
***
Well, as expected, Sunny was Taeyeon’s riding partner during their time at the theme
park. Sooyoung and Jessica were riding partners since they always try to sneak off to eat
while Tiffany was the only loner. She had to watch Taeyeon being happy with Sunny
next to her while riding behind them with a stranger.
“Taeyeon unnie!” Yoona’s voice was heard catching Taeyeon’s attention.
“Oh, Yoona! Yuri!” Taeyeon shouted back. “You guys having fun?”
“Yeah, definitely! Right, Yuri unnie?” Yoona responded happily as she looks back at
Yuri.
“Yeah.” Yuri responded. “When did you guys get here?” She asked as her eyes catch
Jessica standing next to Sooyoung. “Hey, Jessica.” She said but Jessica only gave Yuri a
slight nod.

“You can be.” Jessica responded truthfully. “But I dislike the way she’s talking to you
like that. I’m sure anyone can find a better way to handle the situation.” She added with
anger in her tone.
“Should I just give up on her?” Tiffany asked out of the blue as she sat back up on her
bed. “My patience is running low. She doesn’t seem like she’s getting any of my hints.
And all she ever does is hurt me. Do you know how much tears and pains I’ve kept inside
of me?” She exclaimed and slowly her voice cracked as drops of tears slips down her
cheeks.
Seeing Tiffany crying because of Taeyeon, Jessica wasn’t able to stay still. She quickly
gets up from her bed then sat down next to Tiffany and lets Tiffany’s head onto her
shoulder while wrapping her arms around Tiffany’s shoulder. “I know. I know how
painful it is to see the person you love so oblivious to your love for them.” Jessica
sympathized. I know this because that is how I feel every moment youre with her. Dont
you know how much it hurts me as well? Jessica thought as she continues to console
Tiffany.
“Don’t you know how jealous I am of you and Yuri? You guys are so cute with each
other. Why can’t that happens between me and Taeyeon as well? Why?” Tiffany
continued to cry on Jessica’s shoulder.
“Tiffany…” Jessica paused. “It’s okay. You will find happiness one day. And remember,
you can always count on me.” She said.
Af ter a while of crying on Jessica’s shoulder, Tiffany agrees to stop crying and went to
bed. Jessica too headed for bed though she wasn’t able to sleep. She too wanted to cry
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 160/252
like Tiffany but she can’t show Tiffany her tears. Kwon Yuri, youre a promise breaker
just like I am. You said youll always be there when I need you, but where are you now?
Are you with Yoona? Is she more important to you than I am? Jessica thought as she
slowly pulls out her phone and typed up a message. “Yuri, meet me in the cafeter ia as
soon as possible.” But Jessica hesitated then closed her phone without sending the text. I
shouldnt bother their precious time together. Jessica thought then pulled the blanket
over her head.
***
Unfortunately for Yuri and Jessica, Yoona also stays on the same floor as them, meaning
their classes are pretty much the same. Throughout the school day, Yuri was busy with
Yoona around her. Jessica took notice of everything and unknowingly avoided any
possible eye contact from Yuri. Finally, it was time for tennis practice. However, Yoona
wasn’t interested in tennis and joined the dance club instead.
“Jessica, I’m sorry I couldn’t go to the movies with you last night.” Yuri apologized as
she hits the ball to Jessica.
“It’s fine. It wasn’t me who wanted to go anyways. It was Tiffany being naughty and
replied to your texts.” Jessica replied coldly to Yuri and returns the ball.
“Oh.” Was all that came out of Yuri’s mouth. Wait, so it was Tiffany the whole time? Not
Jessica? Yuri thought with much disappointment in her heart. “Would you want to go out
to dinner with me tonight?” Yuri tried again.
“I’m sure Yoona will like it better if you take her instead.” Jessica replied coldly.

Even though Jessica’s hitting her, all Yuri felt was happiness. She grabs Jessica’s hand
and pulled her for a hug. “Ya, and you’re an ice princess…that’s been melted by the great
Kwon Yuri.” She whispered to Jessica’s ears and continued to hug her.
Chapter 26
When Yuri hugged her, Jessica felt the need to hug Yuri back. And for that little moment
she felt a bit of warmth and joy that hasn’t felt for so long. But something stopped her,
“Yuri…” she hesitated then lets go of the hug. “I don’t think I’m ready yet.” She revealed
“Why, what’s wrong?” Yuri asked.
“I think I still like Tiffany…” She paused while staring into Yuri’s eyes as they’re filled
with tears. “You have to understand. I need to confirm my feelings, Yuri ah.” She
asserted still looking directly into Yuri’s eyes. “I need confirm that I’m not just using you
as a rebound and that I do in fact like you. Please wait for me.” She continued. Is it too
much to ask? I know Im being very selfish but I dont want to lose you nor do I want to
hurt you. Please Yuri, please understand me. Jessica thought.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 163/252
Yuri didn’t want to show Jessica her tears and quickly swallows them back in to her heart
She forced out a smile and replied to Jessica, “I will wait for you. And even if your
answer is not of what I desired, I will continue to wait until I can win over your heart.
Jessica, I will wait for you.”
“But I’m hungry now.” Jessica joked trying to change the subject. “Are you still treating
me to dinner?”
“Who said I was treating you? I was just asking if you wanted to come along.” Yuri
replied as the two began to head back to the tennis court. Seeing Jessica grumbles, Yuri
gave in to Jessica demand though she knows that it will only be like ripping her own
wallet.
***
“So who exactly is Yoona?” Jessica asked shyly as Yuri and her wait for their food to
arrive.
Yuri chuckled then asked Jessica back, “Are you jealous of Yoona?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Either way, you got jealous at the wrong person. Yoona is my cousin. Don’t you think
we look alike?” Yuri explained as she sees Jessica’s mood lightened. “And unlike you,
I’m straightforwardly telling you right now that I don’t like it when you’re with
Sooyoung.” She admitted. “I have confident when it comes to rivaling against Tiffany but

Tiffany made a face in disappointment and slowly switches to Yuri’s bed, not dare to step
on the floor. Being bored, she turned on the TV and starts to watch her favorite drama,
With All My Heart (made up). “Oh my gosh, why are you so dumb?!” She yelled at the
TV screen. “She obviously likes you, can’t you see that after all the things that she’s done
for you?! You will regret it.”
“YA! Can’t you watch that dumb drama in your own room?” Taeyeon shouted feeling
annoyed by Tiffany’s shouting.
“I don’t want to be by myself over there.” Tiffany replied with a pout. But seeing how
annoyed Taeyeon looked, she added, “I can’t because the bug is right there,” She pointed
to the floor.
Taeyeon rolled her eyes then stood up and grabbed a broom from the bathroom. She then
came out and chased the cockroach out of the room. “There, now you can leave.” She
stated then sat back on her bed.
Feeling defeated, Tiffany head back to her room with a disappointed feeling. It wasn’t the
first time though she still hasn’t been able to get used to it. After lying on her bed for a
while, she heard the door unlocks. “Oh you’re home? How was your date with Yuri?”
Tiffany asked seeing Jessica enters the room.
“We ate.” She replied not wanting to disclose any other ideas to Tiffany’s mind. “Did
you get kicked back again?” She asked seeing how Tiffany was lying on her bed in a bad
mood. After seeing Tiffany nodded, she continued. “Then why don’t you just give up
already?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 166/252
“I want to, Jessica. But I can’t. I don’t know why I always find myself running to her.”
Tiffany replied with a sigh. “If only the person I like is Yuri.” She said surprising Jessica.
“Look how nice and patient she is with you. If I were you, I’d agree to be with her
already.” She added.
“She is…a very good girl.” Jessica mumbled to herself in agreement.
***
“Where’s Tiffany? I would think that she’d be over here at this time.” Yuri asked as she
enters the room.
“I just told her to go back to her room since she was bothering me. Seriously she needs to
stop bothering me before I go off on her even though I promised not to yell at her.”
Taeyeon exclaimed.
Yuri shook her head at Taeyeon. “You think being mean to her is a good tactics? Ok,
even if you succeed by doing so, don’t you think she’ll be hurt?” She lectured then went
to the bathroom to change into her pajamas.
“What about me? Do I deserve to be bothered to death?” Taeyeon reasoned knowing Yuri
had already gone in the bathroom.
***
The next day went as usual though Yuri and Jessica seems to be together a lot more.
After school ended, the girls changed into the athletic clothes and head to the tennis court
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 167/252
for their tennis practice. Before practice even starts, Tiffany had already seen Taeyeon
and Sunny walking together. Not wanting to get left behind, Tiffany quickly rushes to
Taeyeon’s side.
“Hey guys!” Tiffany greeted.
“Hey, Tiffany.” Sunny greeted back with a smile when Taeyeon didn’t even give her eye
contact. “Oh Tiffany, I heard you also watch that drama With All My Heart. Do you like
it?” She asked.
“Yeah, I like it, except for one character. I hate that girl named Sun Kyu. She’s always
bothering the two main characters. It annoys me so much. She just doesn’t know when to
stop bothering them. And interfere with the two main characters. I dislike her so much.”
Tiffany exclaimed staring directly at Sunny.
“Ya, Tiffany! What are you trying to say?” Taeyeon raised her voice, sounding almost
like yelling.
“Nothing. I’m just telling her how I hate that girl.” Tiffany responded then rolled her eyes
“Apologize to her!”
“You! You promised not to yell at me!” Tiffany exclaimed. “And it’s all because of
her?!” She added pointing her finger at Sunny.
“Ya, Taeyeon. I don’t think Tiffany is trying to be mean.” Sunny said trying to sooth
Taeyeon down. “Right, Tiffany?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 168/252
“I don’t need your fake acting!” Tiffany yelled then ran off.
“Ya!” Taeyeon screamed but Tiffany continued to run away. “That girl needs to learn
some manners.”
Tiffany had ran off to a tennis court and started to vent her anger on the tennis balls.
After a while later, the coach came and gets the players started on their practice. Taeyeon
and Tiffany were to play against Sunny and Sooyoung, and Yuri and Jessica were to play
with Sunye and Sunmi. The whole time they were playing, Tiffany did not say anything
to anyone. The only time she would say anything is when she was keeping score or if she
was calling for the ball.
“Wait!” Sooyoung shouted after they had just finished a game. “Can I use the restroom?
I’ll be back in a bit.” She said then rushed off to find a restroom.
While Sooyoung went to the bathroom, Taeyeon went to talk to Sunny at the net while
Tiffany stayed back at the baseline. Still mad, Tiffany avoided every possible contact
from both Sunny and Taeyeon. While just standing there by herself, she turns to watch
the game that was happening behind her. It was Yuri and Jessica versus Sunye and Sunmi
Distracted by something, Sunmi was off when serving causing the ball to go beyond the
short fence separating Tiffany from them. Tiffany noticed that the ball was heading for
Taeyeon and quickly ran towards it.
“Taeyeon!” Tiff any shouted then turned her back towards the ball, thinking that it would
hurt her less. Finally the ball that was going 75 miles per hour hit her back.

“Sorry!” Sunmi shouted from the other court, though no one could really hear her from
such distance.
“What?” Taeyeon asked in annoyance not realizing that Tiffany had just saved her.
“Nothing.” Tiffany replied forcing out a smile to hide the pain.
“Sooyoung is back, let’s continue.” Taeyeon said then walk back into position.
Not wanting to let anyone knows her pain, Tiffany swallowed it down and went back to
the baseline. It is now her turn to serve. Taeyeon was in front of her at the net, and on the
other side, Sunny was at the net while Sooyoung was back at the baseline ready to
receive Tiffany’s serve. Showing signs of pain, Tiffany threw the ball in the air and
pulled her racket back ready to swing at the ball. However, before she could hit the ball a
strong feeling of pain attacking her back causing her to miss the ball completely.
“Ah!” A loud voice screamed.
“Sunny!” Taeyeon’s shouted then rushed to Sunny. “Are you okay?”

Chapter 27
Tiffany was surprised to hear Sunny’s scream and quickly turns to her direction. It seems
like a tennis ball had hit Sunny’s face as she is down on the floor with hands over her
nose. Tiffany did not know what has just happened since she had bend down when she
felt the pain on her back. She knew it wasn’t her since her racket didn’t touch the ball.
Still with the pain in her back, Tiffany rushed over to the Sunny at the net. But before she
could get there, Taeyeon had turned around and gave her the most hatred glare she ever
given and it stunned Tiffany. A glare that stayed deep in Tiffany’s heart.
“Are you happy now?! Your aim was right on.” Taeyeon scolded. “How immature are
you?”
“What are you talking about?” Tiffany asked clueless of what was going on.
“Don’t try to pull this off with this act. I know you did it on purpose.” Taeyeon stated still
giving Tiffany the worst look ever. “I know how well your serve is and no matter how
bad it is, it would never go to the opposite side. Which means, you hit Sunny on
purpose!” Taeyeon exclaimed.
“I didn’t!” Tiffany denied.
“You think by hurting Sunny, I would treat you better? You’re wrong!” Taeyeon yelled
ignoring the fact that Tiffany had just denied the accusation. “I like being with Sunny
because she’s not an immature little girl that clings to me day and night like you!” She
yelled again.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 171/252
“Do you really…think so…?” Tiffany asked as her voice cracks and tears fill her pair of
eyes. “Is that all I am to you? Is it?” She asked again with drops of tears roll down her
cheeks.
“Yes! Don’t you know how annoying you are? Always meddling into my business. And
do you know how much I hated that?” Taeyeon stated.
“Am I that annoying? Do you…hate me?” Tiffany asked as her teary eyes looked at
Taeyeon with hopes that she will not answer the question.
“YES! I hate you! I hate you Hwang Mi Young!”
Those words hit Tiffany hard. It felt like her heart was about to burst into million of
pieces. The tears from her eyes couldn’t stop falling out and dripped from her chin. She
swallowed and forced herself into forming another sentence. “If you hate me that much
then let’s break up.” She said.
“Break up?” Taeyeon chuckled sarcastically. “I’ve been wanting to ever since we started
this whole fake couple thing. And you know what? I saw Junsu with his new girlfriend
yesterday. So THANK YOU!”
“Kim Taeyeon, I hate you!” Tiffany yelled then stormed out of the tennis court with her
hand wiping the tears off her eyes. Why? Why did I fall in love you so that you can hurt
me like this? What did I ever do to deserve this?
“Tiffany!” Jessica shouted and quickly followed Tiffany.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 172/252
After Tiffany ran off, Taeyeon turned back to Sunny. “Are you okay? Your nose is
bleeding.” Taeyeon said worriedly. “Let me take you to the nurse. I can’t believe she did
this to you.”
With no where to vent her anger, Tiffany put it on painful back and legs and ran as fast as
she had ever ran. But no matter how fast she ran or how long she ran, the pain in her heart
could not stop as in shows in the non-stop amount of tears that dripped from her eyes.
Finally with no strength left, Tiffany returned to her dorm.
“Tiffany!” Jessica pants grasping for air fr om running after Tiffany.
Once Tiffany sees Jessica, she quickly ran to her and hugged her tightly. “Jessica…” she
cried.
“It’s okay, everything will be okay. I’m here.” Jessica said consoling Tiffany as she pats
Tiffany’s back.
“Jessica, why does it hurt so much? Why do people say that being in love makes people
happy? Why do they lie like that? Being in love is so painful. All I ever feel is sadness
and disappointment.” Tiffany continued to cry on Jessica’s shoulder. Her tears just won’t
stop. The words that had came out from Taeyeon’s mouth earlier had left a mark deep in
Tiffany’s heart.
“They didn’t lie, Tiffany ah. They’re just missing the other half of it. Love can bring you
all the joy in the world as well as all the despair you can imagine. But don’t worry
Tiffany ah, you will definitely find happiness one day. May it be with her or someone
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 173/252
else.” Jessica counseled and continued to console Tiffany. As she pats Tiffany’s back she
turned around and noticed that Yuri had been standing outside the door watching them.
She looked at Yuri with guilt in her eyes. Yuri only showed her a forced smile as she
lowered her head and went into her room. She wanted to say something, or even hold her
back but she wasn’t able to. A part her wishes to run after Yuri and tell her not to
misunderstand the situation and a part of her wishes to stay right where she was,
comforting Tiffany.
***
After taking Sunny back to her dorm, Taeyeon went back to her room. When she opens
the door, she finds Yuri lying on her bed staring off into space. She seems to be in full of
thoughts.
“What are you doing there?” Taeyeon asked as she sits down on her bed. Yuri did not
reply. “Ya, Yuri. Are you okay?”
“Don’t you know how much you’ve hurt her?” Yuri finally responded to Taeyeon. “Do
you know how much pain she is in right now because you?!” She added raising her tone
and looked at Taeyeon.
“If she hadn’t been so immature, I wouldn’t have_”
“Don’t you know that she likes you? No, she doesn’t like you. She loves you, Taeyeon!”
Yuri exclaimed. “How can you not see that?”
“She what? What do you mean she loves me?” Taeyeon questioned Yuri, clueless of
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 174/252
what was going on.
“Tiffany…she loves you.” Yuri revealed. “Why else would someone get so jealous so
easily seeing you with another girl? Why else would someone wish to stay with someone
they’ve just known for a few months day and night? Why else would someone stay up all
night waiting for you to come home?” She asked with anger at her best friend who is so
oblivious to Tiffany’s feelings.
“Wha…what?” Taeyeon stuttered. “Even if she does, you shouldn’t expect me to like her
back. I don’t like her like that.” She rebutted. “Besides, she’s one hyperactive girl. She’ll
be fine by tomorrow.”
“I can’t believe I have a friend like you.” Yuri exclaimed then left the room.
“Ya!”
***
“I need some time by myself, Jessica.” Tiffany said sitting down on her bed. Tiffany had
just stopped crying not long as her eyes are still puffy. She needed some times to be alone
some times to forget about the incident.
Jessica knew Tiffany need time and agrees to leave her alone. As she stares out the
window, she could see Yuri sitting at bench in the courtyard. Yuri, she must be hurting. I
need to talk to her. She thought then left the room and quickly rushes down to the
courtyard. Once she there, she saw Yuri sitting there by herself with her head down.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 175/252
She needs some time, I know. She had already told me and I am willing to wait. But why
does it hurt when I see her consoling Tiffany? Yuri thought as she sat there on the bench.
“Yuri ah…” Jessica said in a lowly tone as she sat down next to Yuri. She then turns her
head and face Yuri. Noticing that Yuri’s cheeks were wet she figured that Yuri must have
cried. She slowly uses her hand to wipe away the remaining droplets of tears on Yuri’s
face. Unknowingly, her own tears had formed and dripped down her cheeks onto Yuri’s
hand. Yuri, Im sorry. Im sorry for hurting you. Jessica thought and continues to let her
tears form drop by drop.
The second Yuri f elt Jessica’ tears on her hand, she lifted her head and looked at Jessica.
She noticed that Jessica is crying in front of her. “Jessica…just cry. Cry to me. Leave all
your pain on my shoulder.” She stated as she pulls Jessica in for a hug. Jessica is hurt
again. I dont wish to see her like this. I feel so useless seeing her crying because of
Tiffany. What should I do? What can I do? Jessica ah, it must hurt you a lot to see Tiffany
in so much pain, right? Yuri thought. “Jessica ah, do you want to eat? I’ll treat you to any
restaurant you want.” She offered hoping that it would distract Jessica’s pain.
However, Jessica shook her head. “No. I don’t want anything other than being in your
arms right now.” She said and hugged Yuri even tighter.
Yuri was surprised by Jessica’s word but continued to hug her. After a little while, both
Yuri and Jessica release the hug. “Do you want to eat now?” Yuri asked again.
“No.” Jessica shook her head. “I want to stay here with you a bit longer.” She said as she
wraps her left arm around Yuri’s right arm then leaned her head onto Yuri’s shoulder.
“Do you know that there are stars that are so far from earth that even if it stopped

Chapter 28
“Ya, Taeyeon wake up.”
“Tiffany, go wake Yuri up first.” Taeyeon growled and pulls the blanket over her head.
“What are you talking about? I am up. Get up before you’re late.” Yuri stated and shakes
Taeyeon’s body.
“Yuri?” Taeyeon asked and slowly opens her eyes.
“Of course it’s me. You think Tif fany would come here and wake you up like everyday
after what you did to her yesterday?” Yuri responded rolling her eyes at Taeyeon.
Taeyeon didn’t say anything then went to the bathroom to get ready. When she was in the
bathroom, she saw Tiffany brushing her teeth. Tiffany continued to brush her teeth as if
she did not see Taeyeon at all. After she finished, she left the bathroom as if no one was
there.
“Eh? Trying to play it cool?” Taeyeon muttered then went continued to wash up.
***
“Tiffany, didn’t you hurt your back yesterday? Does it still hurt?” Jessica asked but
Tiffany did not answer. She seems blanked out. “Tiffany!” She shouted. “Tiffany, you’re
scaring me. Are you ok?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 178/252
“I’m fine.” Tiffany replied, still with a blank expression.
“Let me see your back, is it ok?” Jessica asked but Tiffany didn’t reply. She walks around
Tiffany to her back and slowly lifts up her shirt. “Oh my gosh, Tiffany. Are you sure
you’re okay? There’s a big bruise there. Does it not hurt?” She exclaimed as she stares at
the tennis ball size bruise on Tiffany’s back.
“I’ve already experienced the worst pain there is, that is nothing compared to it.” Tiffany
replied then pulls herself away from Jessica.
“Tiffany, don’t scare me.” Jessica said worriedly.
“What’s wrong?” Yuri poked in from the bathroom door.
“She’s scaring me.” Jessica responded pointing to Tiffany.
“I’m fine. Really. Let’s just go to the class.” Tiffany stated then head for the door.
“Just let her be for a while.” Yuri suggested and pats Jessica’s shoulder.
Through out the day, Tiffany stayed quiet as in the morning. She did not make a sound.
She did not smile. She did not cry. She was like a body without a soul. She managed to
follow her classmates to class accordingly and that was about it. Jessica and Yuri tried to
talk to her but failed miserably.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 179/252
After the final bell rings, the announcement came on. “Attention all outdoor sport
players, todays practice has been canceled due to the rain. Indoor sport players will
have their practice as usual.” With that being said, the girls went back to their dorm
instead of dressing out for tennis practice.
“Tiffany, you haven’t eaten all day. Come on, let’s eat with me.” Jessica stated shaking
Tiffany’s arm.
“I’m not hungry. You and Yuri go ahead.” Tiffany replied sitting on her bed hugging her
legs. She has been sitting like that ever since she was back from school, not moving a
muscle. Her head was down, her face was blanked, her eyes dazed out.
“At least drink some water, please?” Jessica begs handing Tiffany a glass of water.
Seeing that Jessica is worried, Tiffany took the glass of water. “Well, Yuri and I will get
something to eat. If you need anything call us, okay?” After seeing Tiffany nodded
slightly, Jessica went out the room and met Yuri at the stairs. They then walk down to the
cafeteria together.
***
Once Jessica and Yuri were down the cafeteria, they noticed that Taeyeon and Sunny
were eating dinner together with Sooyoung. It seems like the ball hit Sunny really hard
since there is a big bruise on Sunny’s nose. Taeyeon noticed Jessica and Yuri entered the
cafeteria but did not say anything and continued her conversation with Sunny.
“I can’t believe her. She’s acting like nothing has happened.” Jessica stated. “Doesn’t she
know how much she has hurt Tiffany? I need to talk some sense in to her!”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 180/252
“Jessica!” Yuri called as Jessica walked over to Taeyeon, Sunny and Sooyoung.
“I can’t believe you’re just sitting here like as if nothing has happened. Can’t you tell that
you’ve hurt her? Can’t you see how you’ve faded the everyday smile on her face?”
Jessica scolded staring straight into Taeyeon’s face.
“Ya!” Taeyeon yelled. “Why are you guys all blaming me? It wasn’t like I wasn’t been
patient with her. I put up with so much of it already. And yesterday was when I can’t put
it with it anymore.” She reasoned. “Just because she likes me doesn’t mean I have to like
her back!”
“You!” Jessica yelled.
“Jessica!” Yuri held her back. “Come on let’s go. Just leave her.” She said and dragged
Jessica away from Taeyeon. She didn’t want to cause too much of a scene since Taeyeon
is still her friend.
***
The next few days were even worse. Tiffany still refused to eat. Although Jessica had
tried many ways to get her to eat, she was not successful at all. She has tried to talk to her
beg her, feed her, and even threaten to stop eating but they were no use. Tiffany remained
still on the bed as a few days back. She did not attend class. She did not go to tennis
practice. She sat there and continued to sit there. She is now very pale.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 181/252
Tonight again, Tiffany stayed still in the same position while Jessica was lying on her bed
As much as she tries to sleep, with Tiffany acting like that it wasn’t easy for her.
Suddenly some music was heard. It sounded like it had came from the bathroom.
“Mianhae Mianhae Mianhae…”
Hearing the song played, Tiffany was reminded of how Taeyeon used to sang the song to
her.
***Flashback***
“Tiffany ah…uh…” Taeyeon hesitated as she notices that Tiffany didn’t even look at her.
Then she thought of the new Zia’s I’m sorry I love you song she has just heard and starts
to sing a line from it. “Mianhae (I’m sorry) Mianhae Mianhae…” Still Tiffany was
uninterested. She decided to recite it again. “Mianhae Mianhae Mianhae…” This time she
noticed that Tiffany had turned around.
Taeyeon you dork. Tiffany thought as she turns around to hide the smile on her face.
“Ya…Fany ah.” Taeyeon whines trying to act cute. “Ok, I’ll say it. I’m sorry. You’re
happy? I’m sorry that I didn’t realized how I ignored everyone else when I’m with Sunny
And I’m sorry that I yelled at you. I’m really sorry, okay? Would you forgive me?”
Taeyeon finally apologized. Then she heard Tiffany giggled and turned Tiffany’s body
around. “Oh! You were playing around with me!” she acts mad.
“It’s not my fault you’re such a dork Kim Taeyeon.” Tiffany smiled.

***End of Flashback***
The Tiffany that had been sitting on her bed motionless started to sobs. Tears formed and
rolled down her cheeks as she thought of Taeyeon. “K im Taeyeon, why are you so
heartless?” She cried.
“Ya, Tiffany. Are you okay?” Jessica asked and quickly rushes over to Tiffany’s side.
She began wiping her tears away but there were just too much. They kept coming out
non-stop. “Tiffany ah…”
“Jessica!” Tiffany cried even louder then hugged Jessica. “Did you hear the song?
Taeyeon once apologized to me singing that song. Do you know how happy I was? I
thought that she really cared about me then. I really did. But now it hurts so much, Jessica
ah. Those words that came out from her mouth are like thousand of needles stabbing at
my heart. Why did I receive so much pain? Was it wrong to love her? Why didn’t she
believe my words? Jessica ah, how can I get rid of this pain? It hurts a lot. It hurts more
than anything in this world.”
“Just cry it all out. Just let it all out. It will be easier if you let everything off your chest. I
will always be here for you whenever you need me to.” Jessica consoled and continued to
hug Tiffany. After a few seconds, she noticed that Tiffany did not say anything and lets
go of the hug. “Tiffany! Tiffany! Don’t scare me! Say something! Tiffany! Tiffany!
Come on, don’t do this to me! Wake up!” She shouted as she shakes Tiffany’s body
hoping it would wake her up.
Suddenly the door bursts open. “What happened?!” Taeyeon asked. The music that
Tiffany heard actually came from Taeyeon’s phone as a ringtone since she was in the
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 183/252
bathroom. So she had been standing in the bathroom the whole time and overheard their
conversation.
“She fainted!” Jessica exclaimed. “Call the ambulance!”
***
Tiffany had been taking by the ambulance to the closest hospital. She is now in the
emergency room while Jessica Yuri and Taeyeon are outside waiting.
“Are you happy now?” Jessica yelled but Taeyeon did say anything. She just stood there
patiently waiting for any news of Tiffany.
After waiting patiently for thirty minutes, the doctor finally came out. “Who’s here is
Tiffany’s family member?” He asked.
“Both her parents are in the States, but I’m her best friend.” Jessica responded. “Is she
okay?”
“She hasn’t been eating nor sleeping for a couple of days so her body was basically worn
out. We have injected an amount of glucose in her body so she should be fine now. She
just needs to rest for a couple of days and eat regularly. I highly suggested that she stays
in the hospital during those days so we can keep an eye on her.” The doctor answered.
“Can we see her, now?” Yuri asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 184/252
“She is asleep so I suggest that you do not interrupt her sleep since she hasn’t been
sleeping for a while. But once she is awake you are welcome to see her then.” The doctor
replied.
“Thank you, Sir.” Jessica thanked and bowed to the doctor as he walks off to treat
another patient.
Chapter 29
After filling out some paperwork, Taeyeon, Yuri, and Jessica walked to the room where
Tiffany will be resting for the new couple of days. They didn’t want to interrupt Tiffany’s
sleep so they stood outside and watch her through the glass window.
Tiffany…she really loves me that much? Enough that she has done this to herself?
Taeyeon thought as she watches Tiffany through the glass window. Im sorry, I did not
know that. I didnt know that I had such an impact on you. And Im sorry that I…cant
return your love. I am a bad person, dont love me anymore. She felt somewhat guilty
and regretful for what she has done. “I’m going back now.” She said then left the hospital
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 185/252
Jessica did not want to leave Tiffany alone so she decided to stay here with her. With
Jessica staying, Yuri had no choice but to stay with her as well, though she wanted to stay
with Tiffany either ways. After a few hours of sitting on the bench outside Tiffany’s
room waiting for morning, Jessica was found sleeping on Yuri’s shoulder. Soon Yuri too,
fell asleep and leaned her head on Jessica’s.
Morning finally arrived and of course it was Yuri who woke up first while Jessica was
still sleeping on her shoulder comfortably. Yuri had a good amount of time watching
Jessica sleeping before she finds herself awake on Yuri’s shoulder.
“Finally awake?” Yuri teased with a smile.
“Your shoulder was comfortable that’s why I stayed in for a bit longer.” Jessica replied
then slowly lifts her head from Yuri’s shoulder.
As they sat on the bench looking through the glass window of Tiffany’s room, they
noticed some movement. After a few more seconds, they saw Tiffany’s eyes slowly
opens. And so together they went in the room to check on Tiffany.
“Tiffany, are you okay now?” Jessica asked as she sits on the bed.
“I’m fine now.” Tiffany replied and showed them something that they hadn’t seen for the
past few days, her smile. After looking around, Tiffany said, “I remember hearing
Taeyeon’s voice.”
Jessica looked at Yuri then back at Tiffany. “She was with us when we took you in but
left after the doctor treated you.” She replied though hesitated.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 186/252
“Well, at least I know that she doesn’t hate me.” Tiffany stated.
“Tiffany you_”
“No, Jessica.” Tiffany interrupted. “I’m fine now, really. During the time that I was
resting here, I’ve thought it over. I thought about how I still have you and Yuri by my
side. I thought about my life and my future. And after all that thinking, I’ve decided that I
won’t hurt myself any longer over this. I can’t let you guys worry about me.” She stated
looking at Jessica with seriousness. “I’m really fine.” She added with a smile.
***
Jessica and Yuri had called the school to let them know that they won’t be attending
school today since they had to take care of Tiffany. Even without them, Taeyeon went to
school as normal. After the final bell rang, Taeyeon, Sunny, and Sooyoung walked to
tennis practice as usual.
“Taeyeon!” A voice shouted catching Taeyeon’s attention. When she turned around she
found Sunmi running towards her.
“What is it?” Taeyeon asked. Although they are on the team together, they rarely talked
thus, it surprised her when Sunmi called out her name.
“I wanted to talk to you about something…” She paused. “I’m sorry but last time, it was
actually me who accidentally hit Sunny.” She continued lowering her head. “I have been
worried about my grades therefore I wasn’t able to concentrate that day and missed the
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 187/252
serve badly. I know I should have been more careful after the first one but it came
unexpected. I’m really sorry for causing so much trouble.”
“What do you mean by the first one? There was a second one?” Taeyeon asked curiously.
“Oh, I guessed you didn’t see it. I had another bad serve when you guys were taking a
break. I almost hit you but I saw Tiffany rushed over and used her back to block it from
getting to you. I thought you would have noticed since I remember hitting that serve
really hard.” Sunmi explained scratching her head because she was feeling so guilty.
“She did what?” Surprised from Sunmi’s words, Taeyeon asked with a raised tone.
“I was going to tell you that day but you guys left before I could have. And the following
days I was not able to make it to tennis practice and thus I wasn’t able to tell you till
today.” Sunmi stated.
“But Sunny must have seen it_”
“Actually,” Sunny interrupted. “I didn’t really see where the ball had come from since I
was distracted by Sungmin oppa’s game on the men’s court.” Sunny shyly disclosed.
“Why didn’t you tell me? That means…I’ve wrongly accused Tiffany.” Taeyeon realized
***
After the staying with Tiffany for an entire day, Jessica and Yuri returned to school the
next day leaving Tiffany at the hospital. Though they left her there during the day, they
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 188/252
would always return after tennis practice was over. And they continued to do that till the
4th
day, which was when Tiffany was discharged from the hospital.
Tiffany is fine now. She’s eating regularly like usual and smiles as usual though not as
much. And since she was fine, she decided that she should come back to class on this
very morning. Waking up as early as usually, she went in the bathroom to get ready.
While brushing her teeth the door from Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s side swing opened.
“Yuri, are you in here?” Taeyeon asked as she sticks her head in the door…only to find
Tiffany there. “Oh, sorry.”
“It’s fine.” Tiffany replied then carried on with brushing her teeth. She didn’t know how
she should act in front of Taeyeon anymore and so she decided that it would be best if she
keeps her mouth shut. She quickly finish brushing her teeth then turned to Taeyeon, “If
you need to use the bathroom, I’m done.” She said then turns back around towards her
room.
“Ya, Tiffany.” Taeyeon hesitated. When Tiffany turned back around she continued.
“I’m…I’m sorry for accusing you the other day. And I…don’t really hate you. I was just
being impulsive that day…”
Tiffany was surprised by Taeyeon’s word but just smiled and replied “It’s fine. I’m sure I
was pretty annoying to you as well. So I’m also sorry.”
“Uh…no problem?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 189/252
“We’re still friends, right?” Tiffany asked, again with her usual smile then sticks her hand
out waiting for a handshake.
“Yeah, definitely…” Taeyeon responded then shook Tiffany’s hand though it was quite
awkward after all that has happened.
“Well then, see you around.” Tiffany bid farewell to Taeyeon then went back to her room
“See you around?” Taeyeon mumbled to herself after Tiffany had left the bathroom. How
could she act so normal again after what shes been through? But ‘see you around? This
is the first time Ive felt so distanced from her ever since the first week of school.
***
“Sica ah, wake up already!” Tiffany nagged as she shakes Jessica’s body back and forth.
“I haven’t had a goodnight sleep for so many days because of you! Let me sleep in a bit
more. Or best if I just skip school today.” Jessica groans pushing Tiffany aside.
“Ya! Maybe I should get Yuri to wake you up. I’m sure she has a cucumber somewhere
in her room.” Tiffany stated then chuckled evilly.
“What’s wrong? Jessica’s not awake yet?” Yuri poked in out of the blue from the
bathroom door. “Let me try,” Yuri said then walks over to Jessica’s bed. “But you have
to turn away though.” She added staring at Tiffany who was carefully watching her.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 190/252
“Why?” Tiffany asked. But after seeing Yuri’s glare, she gave in. “Fine.” She replied
then turned away.
Confirmed that Tiffany has looked away, Yuri slowly lowers her head getting closer to
Jessica’s face. Once again, Yuri turned around to confirm that Tiffany is indeed looking
away. After reconfirming herself, she turned back to Jessica and whispers to her ears.
“Ya, if you wake up right now I’ll give you a special treat tonight.”
“What special treat?” Jessica asked back popping her eyes open to see Yuri so close to
her face.
“A cucumber sandwich.” Yuri chuckled then pulled herself up from being so close to
Jessica. “Come on, get up already.” She demanded and pulled Jessica up.
“Wow, you’re so good. Want to give me some tips?” Tiffany asked as she stares at
Jessica who’s wide awake.
“Kwon Yuri, you’re a jerk.” Jessica stated then went to the bathroom to wash up.
“It’s a secret, I can’t tell you.” Yuri replied then smiled at Tiffany.
“Whatever. I don’t want to know what’s going on with you guys anyways…” Tiffany
stated then rolled her eyes.

Chapter 30
Well, it has been a good two weeks since Taeyeon and Tiffany apologized to each other
in the bathroom. Everything, well most of everything went back to normal. They all went
to school, then tennis practice, then ate, and sleep. The only difference is that, Tiffany
was no longer Taeyeon’s double partner due to the argument that took place two weeks
ago. The coach had commanded that Taeyeon and Tiffany play singles now when Sunye
and Sunmi play doubles. Another difference is that Tiffany and Taeyeon were stopped
seeing around together like they used to be. Everyone knew that they had “broken up.”
With those changes Taeyeon and Tiffany had separated into two different friend groups.
Taeyeon continued to be with Sunny and Sooyoung while Tiffany had Jessica. Yoona and
her roommate Seohyun, occasionally switch back and forth between Taeyeon’s group and
Tiffany’s group because of Yuri. Taeyeon is still Yuri’s close friend and roommate so it
was logical that she would be with her group. As for Tiffany’s group, of course it was
because Yuri is now Tiffany’s close friends, and not just because of Jessica or so she
claims.
But whether it was because of guilt, curiosity, or other causes, it seems like Taeyeon had
take numerous glances at Tiffany. To her, it felt very different since Tiffany used to be by
her side twenty four seven for the past couple of months and now they barely talk to each
other. It took her a while to get used to it as it shows her typical day life.

“Aren’t you our number one men player?” Yuri asked recognizing him.
Nodding his head the guy introduced himself “I’m Donghae by the way.” Then stick his
hand out to Tiffany waiting for a handshake.
“Hi! Yes, I’m Tiffany.” Tiffany r eplied with enthusiasm then shook his hand.
“Um…I know this is sudden but…” Donghae suddenly started to trembles and stuttered
in his own words. “I wanted to ask if you and your friends want to join my friend and I
for a dinner tonight.”
“Dinner? Hmm…what do you guys think?” Tiffany asked turning to Jessica and Yuri.
“I’ll go if there’s food.” Jessica replied with a grin.
“I guess I’ll join too.” Yuri added.
“Ok…um. So I’ll see you girls at the school gate at 7, ok?” Donghae asked. “Well my
friend is waiting for me, so I’ll see you later.” He said then left to catch up with his friend
***
“Where are you going?” Taeyeon asked seeing Yuri was getting ready while sitting on
her bed trying to do an assignment from school.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 194/252
“Dinner. This Donghae guy asked Tiffany and us to join him and his friend for dinner.”
Yuri responded while staring at the mirror trying to put on her make up.
“Donghae? Our number one men player?”
“Yeah, him. He’s good at playing tennis and he’s cute. I think he has something for
Tiffany.” Yuri said still fixing herself up using the mirror. “But you wouldn’t care, would
you?” She added.
“Why do you always have to bring that up?” Taeyeon petitioned and showed signs of
annoyance. “Well you guys have fun then.” She added then went back to her assignments
***
“Oh, I forgot to introduce. This is my friend, Changmin.” Donghae said while sitting
down at the table with Tiffany, Yuri, Jessica and his friend, Changmin.
“Uh, hello.” He greeted shyly.
“And this is Tiffany.” Donghae said pointing to Tiffany. After introducing Tiffany,
Donghae scratches his head looking at Jessica and Yuri.
Believes that Donghae doesn’t actually know their name, Yuri introduced herself. “Hi,
I’m Yuri. And this is_”
“I’m Jessica. Nice to meet you both.” She interrupted then introduced herself with a smile
Soon after that she felt her phone vibrated. She just got a text from Yuri. Why did I have

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 196/252
“Whatever.”
“Tiffany, are you always this outgoing to people you’ve just met?” Seeing how Tiffany
acts in front of him, Donghae asked.
“I like talking to people.” She replied with her smiley eyes.
“Your friends must feel great to have you as a friend then.” Donghae complimented only
to find Jessica’s sarcasm to follow.
“Imagine her always smiling and talkative to you twenty four seven. I wouldn’t think it’s
a great thing.”
“Hey…” Tiffany whines.
“Hey, we’re planning on going to the movies after this. Would you girls like to join us?”
Changmin asked, after seating there quietly for a while. Although he addressed the
question to the girls, he was looking directly Jessica when asking the question.
“Yeah, I’d love to!” Tiffany excitedly responded. Obviously the hyperactive Tiffany is
back though she might not be as hyper as used to.
“Yeah, I’ll join you guys too.” Jessica said.
After their food came out they ate and carried on with their conversation as they eat.
Donghae continued to talk to Tiffany and she is willing to keep him company. Jessica
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 197/252
was actually participating in most of the conversation, especially those with Changmin.
Yuri was the only one that wasn’t talking much and only watched over Jessica’s and
Changmin’s conversation. Finally they finished their food and headed out of the
restaurant.
“Actually, I think I’m not going to the movies.” Yuri stated once they were outside of the
restaurant. Then looking at Jessica she added, “Yoona wants me to hang out with her.”
“Aww well, tell Yoona I said hi.” Tiffany said waving goodbye to Yuri.
“Bye guys. Have fun.” Yuri waved then started to head home.
Yoona actually never said anything about wanting Yuri to hang out with her. In fact, Yuri
never got any text message from Yoona at all. She just didn’t want to see Jessica and
Changmin together. And after walking for five minutes, she found herself at a park
nearby the school. As she was about to sit down on a bench she heard someone’s voice.
“Kwon Yuri, you are a jerk.” To her surprise, when Yuri turned around she saw Jessica
there with hands on her waist.
“I thought you’re going to the movies with Changmin and them?” Yuri asked.
Jessica rolled her eyes as she walks closer to Yuri. “If you don’t want me here, I can go
back.” She said.
“Then go back.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 198/252
“Fine.” Jessica responded then turned back around.
“Ya!” Yuri shouted. “But I want you here…with me.” She added.
Jessica turned around and shook her head. “I don’t want to be here…” She said. “I want
to be home.”
Yuri smiled then responded with “Fine, let’s go home.”
“You need to stop getting jealous over so little things.” Jessica stated on their way home.
“And you said you wanted me to be more social. How can I be if you get jealous over
anyone I talk to?”
“Who told you I was jealous? Jealous of what? Why should I be jealous?” Yuri denied by
asking Jessica back.
“Whatever.”
As they continue to walk home, they saw a couple walking together holding each other’s
hands. Yuri bit her lips then looked at Jessica. She was sure Jessica saw the couple too,
but would it too sudden if I held her hand? Yuri thought. She closed her eyes and took a
deep breath then slowly moves her right hand towards Jessica’s left hand. She paused for
a bit, reassuring her decision. Then she took another deep breath before sliding her
fingers between Jessica’s. After getting a firm grip on Jessica’s hand, Yuri closed her
eyes waiting for any sudden or dramatic reaction to hit her. But there wasn’t anything like
that. Yuri opened her eyes and found Jessica lowered her head with a smile on her face.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 199/252
Seeing Jessica smiled, Yuri knew she Jessica also felt the same way. She smiled then
continued to walk back to their dorm hand-in-hand with Jessica.
Chapter 31
Yuri and Jessica were walking home from the park hand-in-hand when they ran into a
little bit of a problem. What should they do when they arrive in front of Jessica’s door?
They stood in front of the door, unsure of what they should do or say each other.
“Uh…” Both hesitated. “You go first then_” Again, they said it at the same time and just
smiled shyly. An awkward moment of silent begins again.
“Do you…want to come in?” Jessica hesitated but asked shyly. “I mean, since Tiffany
won’t be home until a while…you can play with me. I mean, you keep me company. I
mean_” Oh great Jessica. Youve said all the wrong things to say. Jessica thought
wanting to slap herself.
“Uh…sure?” Yuri replied.
“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 200/252
“I do!” Yuri exclaimed. “I mean I don’t want to bother Taeyeon doing her homework
over there. It would be great if I can stay in yours for a little while.” She pulled it off.
“Ok…” Jessica responded. They stood there for another ten seconds without doing
anything. “Yuri ah…”
“Huh?”
“You have to release my hand…I can’t get the keys in my left pocket.” Jessica said softly
staring at her hand. After she heard what Jessica said, Yuri released her hand and Jessica
was able to get the keys to open the door. Finally the door was open and the two went in
then close the door behind them.
Jessica sat down on her bed and Yuri sat next to her. They had a little moment of silent
since neither knew what to say.
“Let’s watch TV.” Jessica suggested breaking their moment of silent. Once the TV screen
fully loaded it was playing the movie Titanic. And the worse timing of all, it was the
scene where Jack and Rose were kissing each other on the car. When Yuri and Jessica
saw the screen, their eyes widen as they turned to each other. “Let’s not watch TV now.”
Jessica said and quickly turned it of.
“Jessica ah…” Yuri called softy.
“Huh?” Jessica asked softly then turned to face Yuri. Her face was very close to Yuri’s
and they stood in that position for the next ten seconds without saying anything.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 201/252
“Do you want your special treat, now?” Yuri whispered breaking the silent.
“What special treat?”
“A kiss.” Yuri replied as she moves closer to Jessica’s face.
Hearing Yuri’s words, Jessica’s eyes widen. She was about to give in when, “Wait.” She
said interrupting the moment.
“Why?”
“What if Tiffany gets home and sees us?” Jessica responded.
“The movie will take a while. Even if it didn’t…look, she forgot her keys. We’ll be ok.”
***
Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone knocked on the door. It wasn’t on the doors of Tiffany’s
and Jessica’s room but was actually Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s room. Taeyeon was still doing
her assignment when she heard the knock. She wondered who it is but stood up to open
the door. Once she opened the door, she finds standing outside was…Tiffany.
“Tiffany…?” Taeyeon asked in surprised.
Tiffany smiled at Taeyeon then shyly said, “I forgot my keys and Jessica is probably
sleeping so can I go through your bathroom doors?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 202/252
“Oh. Yeah, go ahead.” Taeyeon replied.
“Thanks.” Tiffany thanked then enters the room. As she headed for the bathroom door,
she heard Taeyeon’s voice and turned around.
“Tiffany.” Taeyeon called. Tiffany turned around and had a questionable look on her face
“What is it?”
“I haven’t talked to you in a while, just wondering how you’ve been.” Taeyeon stated.
“Oh, I have been very good.” Tiffany replied with her signature smile. “What about
you?” She asked.
“I’ve been good.” Taeyeon replied. “I heard you guys were going to dinner with Donghae
how was it?”
“It was fun actually. Donghae was a fun guy. I had a lot of fun talking to him.” Tiffany
said.
“Wait, so why was Jessica home earlier?”
“Oh. We were planning on going to the movies, Yuri and Jessica didn’t want to come
with us so they left early. But since there was some accident near the theatre, the traffic
was horrible, so we decided to go home.” Tiffany explained.

“Yeah? Will Changmin be there?” Jessica asked trying to stir some jealousy in Yuri’s
mind. Just as she expect, Yuri quickly gave her a deadly glare after she asked the
question.
“I’m assuming so since they’re best friends.”
“Then I guess I’ll be bringing Yoona and her roommate too.” Yuri stated with a smirk on
her face. “I’m going back to my room now, tell me more about it later.” She said then
starts to head towards the bathroom doors.
“I’ll walk her back to her room.” Jessica stated then quickly follows Yuri in the bathroom
and closed the door behind them.
Tiffany rolled her eyes at Jessica. “Walk her? It’s only a couple of steps away. You’re so
obvious.” She mumbled to herself then chuckled at the sight.
After Jessica closed the bathroom doors, she grabbed and pulled Yuri’s hand making
Yuri turn around facing her. Once she pulled Yuri in closer to her body, she placed both
of her hands behind Yuri’s ears and pulled her head in closer to her own. Right then was
when she planted a light kiss on Yuri’s lips. Seeing how Yuri blushed, Jessica let out a
smile and said “You’re so cute when you’re jealous.”
“And do you know how you can make me look even cuter?” Yuri asked. “Kiss me
again.”
“You’re too greedy.” Jessica stated then starts to the turn around to head back to her
room.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 205/252
“You’re not going anywhere.” Yuri said then pulled Jessica back towards her. After
pulling Jessica’s body into her embrace Yuri reaches for Jessica’s lips. First she started
with a light touch on Jessica’s lips, then begins to press their lips together as she felt
Jessica’s hands around her neck pulling her in. Soon, they were making out while
embracing each other in the bathroom. After a long passionate kiss, they lets go of each
other. Both blushed and refused to look at each other feeling embarrassed.
“I’m going back to my room now.” Jessica said then rushed out of the bathroom leaving
Yuri standing there smiling.
***
“Ya, I want to sing So Nyeo Shi Dae!” Exclaimed Tiffany excitedly with my microphone
in her hand.
Just as planned, Tiffany, Yuri, and Jessica joined Donghae and Changmin at noraebang
along with Taeyeon, Sunny and Sooyoung.
“Let me choose that song for you then.” Donghae stated then smiled sweetly at Tiffany.
Soon Tiffany begins to sing “Don’t make fun of me because I’m young.” After Tiffany
finished everyone applauded especially Donghae. “Taeyeon sings really well, here sing
Taeyeon!” She suggested and by force she shoved the microphone into Taeyeon’s hand.
“Oh, I know what to pick for her to sing. She sings this song all the time.” Sunny stated
then chose the song she wanted using the remote.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 206/252
“Sunny, not that one.” Taeyeon warned but she was too late.
Soon the song came on and surprised both Tiffany and Jessica. It was no other song but
Zia’s Saranghae Mianhae (I’m sorry I love you) song, the song that brought many tears to
Tiffany the last time she heard it. Jessica knew because she was there when Tiffany cried
and fainted in front of her. She looked over to Tiffany to see if she was ok and as
expected, Tiffany did not look happy.
“Taeyeon sing, this is your favorite song, isn’t it?” Sunny asked insisting that Taeyeon
should sing the song.
“Yeah, sing. I haven’t heard you sang that song in a while…” Tiffany requested as she
forces out a smile.
“Um…okay.” Taeyeon accepted the request then begins to sing. Everyone was in awe
with Taeyeon’s voice, even Tiffany. But once Taeyeon reaches to “Mianhae Mianhae
Mianhae” part, Tiffany looked awfully worse and Taeyeon took notice.
”Um, I need to use the restroom for a bit.” Tiffany said then forced out a smile before
leaving the room.
Taeyeon and Jessica knew exactly what’s going and both were about to stand up to
follow Tiffany when Donghae volunteered to. “She didn’t seem right, let me check on
her.” He said then followed Tiffany outside.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here

Chapter 32
After Donghae exit the room to look for Tiffany the rest carried on, except for Taeyeon
and Jessica. Seeing how Taeyeon just sat there without saying anything, Jessica looked at
her disgusted.
“I’m going to use the phone outside.” Taeyeon stated then stood up and walks outside.
Jessica rolled her eyes and mumbled, “You would never care about her.”
“What’s that, Jessica?” Changmin asked. He was sitting on Jessica’s left side while Yuri
was on her right.
“Nothing.” She replied.
“Jessica ah, would you like to go to the movies with me?” He proposed then added, “Just
me and you?”
Jessica smiled when she felt Yuri’s grip on her right hand. She turned over to Changmin
and said, “Sorry Changmin, but I’m already taken.”
“What? Who is it? Do I know him?” Changmin questioned.
“You do but you don’t.” Jessica replied then smiled at him. “Ya, Yuri ah…you’re hurting
me.” She stated once she turned to face Yuri. Once Yuri lets go of her grip, Jessica linked
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 208/252
her fingers with Yuri’s hand and leaned her head on her shoulder. “Stop being jealous.”
She whispered.
***
Taeyeon didn’t really need to use the phone at all. She wanted to check if Tiffany was ok
even though Donghae has already followed her. Once she was about to turn the corner,
she heard Tiffany’s and Donghae’s voices causing her to halt and listen.
“Are you okay? You don’t look good.” Donghae asked as she looked at Tiffany
worriedly.
“I’m fine, really...” Tiffany replied and forced a smile though the tears that formed were
visible in her eyes. Her voice suddenly cracks.
“Tiffany, is there anything wrong? Is it because of…that song? Or…Taeyeon?” He asked
though reluctantly. “I’ve heard of your relationship with Taeyeon before.” He added.
“I’m fine…” She lied in her crackling voice again trying to hold back her tears. “Let’s go
back now.” She said forcing out another smile and headed back towards the room. And as
they turn the corner, they heard Taeyeon’s voice and it surprised them.
“Yeah appa, I remember. I will watch my health, don’t worry. You should worry about
your health too.” Taeyeon said then turns to Tiffany and Donghae signaling to them to go
inside first. “What about umma, is she okay?” She asked but once Tiffany and Donghae
had entered the room, Taeyeon closed her phone. Obviously, she was faking it. Tiffany,
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 209/252
you are still hurt because of me? Taeyeon thought as she watches Tiffany and Donghae
enter the room.
***
After noraebang, the girls all went back to their dorm to rest. Needed to brush her teeth
before bed, Taeyeon enters the bathroom and coincidently, Tiffany was also opening the
bathroom doors.
“I’m just going to brush me teeth so if you don’t mind, go ahead.” Taeyeon stated seeing
how Tiffany was about to go back out.
“I was going to brush my teeth as well.” Tiffany said then went back in the bathroom.
And with that the two began to brush their teeth sharing the same sink. Just when
Taeyeon was about to leave the bathroom, Tiffany called her. “Taeyeon ah.”
“What is it?”
“Um…” Tiffany hesitated. “Yuri and Jessica are going on a date tomorrow and I will be
really bored at home alone…so…I was wondering if maybe we could…I don’t
know…catch a movie together…or dinner…or something.” She finally asked with her
trembling voice. “Only if you want to that is.” She added trying to avoid the impression
that she’s clinging on her again.
Taeyeon thought about then replied, “Yeah, that’s fine with me. Sunny and Sooyoung are
going to watch the men’s tournament tomorrow so I guess it’ll just be the two of us.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 210/252
Hearing Taeyeon’s answered, Tiffany smiled delightedly. “Ok then. How about we go at
5?” She suggested. After seeing Taeyeon nodded she smiled back. “But…never mind
then I guess.” She said.
“Why?”
“I remember hearing that it’s going to rain tomorrow evening.” Tiffany stated dropping
her delighted smile from earlier.
Taeyeon chuckled at Tiffany’s expression and said. “Rain or shine I’ll be there, okay?”
“Okay! Deal!” Tiffany quickly responded then smiled again.
“Okay then, go to sleep.” Taeyeon said then the both of them goes back to their room.
***
“Ya, it’s 4:30, do you want to get ready now?” Taeyeon shouted from inside the
bathroom.
“Ok!” Tiffany shouted back then began to get ready.
After ten minutes, Taeyeon finished getting ready. “Tiffany ah, are you ready?” Taeyeon
asked as she pokes her head in the room. “Tiffany?” She called seeing no one in the room
“Where did she go?” She was about to call her when her ringtone goes off telling her that
someone’s calling her. It was Tiffany. “Where are you?” Taeyeon asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 211/252
“Sorry Taeyeon, something came up so we can’t go over there together. But meet me at
the bus stop by the park and we’ll continue from there. But I think I’ll bit a bit late though
so wait for me.” Tiffany explained over the phone.
“Ok then, I’ll see you there in a bit then.” Taeyeon replied.
“Oh by the way, it looks like it’s going to rain so be sure to take your umbrella.” Tiffany
added before hanging up.
***
“So what is it, Donghae?” Tiffany asked standing in front of Donghae at the park.
“I have to tell you something…” Donghae said. Seeing Tiffany’s questioned face, he
continued. “I’ve liked you for a long time. I was going to make my move but then there
were rumors that you and Taeyeon were…you know. Once I found out that it was fake, I
quickly made my move and that was the first time we had dinner. Tiffany ah, will you be
my girlfriend?”
“Donghae…I…” Tiffany hesitated, not knowing what to answer him. “I…don’t_”
***
After she hangs up, Taeyeon grabbed her stuff and headed out the door. It took her about
fifteen minutes to walk from their dorm to the park. She was about to sit on a bench at the
bus stop when something caught her eyes. It was Tiffany…with Donghae. They were
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 212/252
standing on a path in the park. Curious, she decided to watch them from far away. So is
that what came up? Taeyeon thought as she watches them.
Standing there Taeyeon saw Donghae leaning towards Tiffany attempting to kiss her. The
sight shocked her enough to cause her to let go of the umbrella in her hand. Her eyes
were widened and her heart suddenly aches. She doesn’t know why she felt this way but
that is how she felt. She didn’t know what else to do but to turn her back and not look at
them. What else can I do but to turn around? Taeyeon thought as she walks away. As she
leaves the rain starts to pour down but she continues to walk like an idiot. Like a body
with no soul. All that was on her mind was Tiffany and Donghae. Tiffany has moved on.
She thought.
***
“Donghae, please don’t!” Tiffany yelled and pushes him away from her as he tried to kiss
her. After she has successful pushed him out, she stated. “I’m sorry but I don’t have any
feelings for you, at least not yet.”
“Is it because of Taeyeon?” He asked.
“No. Why would she have anything to do with this?”
“Well anyways, I’m sorry for my action earlier. But I have confident that I will win over
your heart one day.” Donghae stated with confidence then walked off.
After Donghae left, Tiffany let out a sigh. She quickly looks at her watch and noticed that
it was already 5:05. “Oh no, I’m late.” She exclaimed then ran over to the bus station.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 213/252
While on her way there, it started to rain causing her to pull out her hot pink umbrella to
cover herself. By the time she gets there, she saw an umbrella on the ground. “It’s
Taeyeon’s umbrella. Did something happen?” She questioned then quickly takes out her
phone and dialed Taeyeon’s number. No one answered. “TaeTae ah, where are you?” She
mumbled then quickly walks back to the dorm.
It took her about 20 minutes to get back to the dorm since it was raining really hard.
When she arrived at Taeyeon’s door she quickly knocks on it. A few seconds later, the
door opens and Taeyeon was standing behind it. It seems like Taeyeon has changed her
clothes since they were different than before and looked dry. But it seems like her face is
much paler than before.
Seeing Taeyeon there, Tiffany sighed out of relief. “Ya, Kim Taeyeon. I was only five
minutes late. You didn’t have to leave.” Tiffany exclaimed.
“You didn’t need me to go with you. You have many other friends.” Taeyeon replied
though very softly as if she didn’t have any strength.
“Taeyeon ah, you don’t look too good, are you okay?” Tiffany asked worriedly seeing
Taeyeon’s pale face and her soft voice.
“I’m fine_”
“Taeyeon!” Tiffany shouted when Taeyeon closed her eyes and fainted. Luckily she was
able to catch her before she fell to the ground. “Taeyeon ah, don’t’ scare me! Are you
okay?! Wake up!” She shouted and shook Taeyeon’s body back and forth. “Let me take
you to the nurse office.” She said then carried Taeyeon’s on her back. While carrying her
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 214/252
to the nurse office, she continued to talk to Taeyeon. “Taeyeon ah…you’ll be fine right?”
“We’re almost there, just hang on.” “TaeTae ah, please be okay, please be okay.”
Chapter 33
“Is she okay, nurse? Please help her! Is there anything wrong?” Tiffany questioned the
nurse shaking her arm back and forth.
Tiffany had taken Taeyeon into the nurse office where Taeyeon was placed on a bed in a
private room.
“Calm down. She just has a high fever because of standing in the rain.” The nurse
answered Tiffany. “Here, let her take his.” The nurse said handing Tiffany some
medicine. “After you give her the medicine, you can take her back to her room. And just
to help it even faster, place a cold towel on her forehead.” The doctor commanded to
Tiffany and left the room. It seems though there were a few other students who need to be
taken care of.
“Here, take this.” Tiffany said as she gave Taeyeon the medicine and a glass of water.
After Taeyeon took the medicine, Tiffany took the glass and handed to the student aid
standing there. “Let me take you back to the room.” She said then carried Taeyeon on her
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 215/252
back to her room.
Tiffany ah, why do you still care about me so much? You shouldnt be nice to someone
who has hurt you as deeply as I have. Taeyeon thought as she’s being carried by Tiffany
half awake.
Luckily the rain she stopped and it was easier for Tiffany to carry Taeyeon back to the
room. It takes her about 10 minutes to reach the room. She quickly but lightly set
Taeyeon down on the bed. “Stay here, let me go get you a cold towel.” Tiffany stated
then walks towards the bathroom. A moment later she came back with a cold towel and
placed it on Taeyeon’s forehead. “Okay, now rest. I won’t bother you anymore.” She
stated then stood up from the bed when she felt a grip on her wrist.
“Don’t leave…” Taeyeon said softly as if it was a whisper.
Tiffany turned around and gave Taeyeon a smile. It wasn’t her ordinary hyperactive smile
Nor was it her happy smile. It was a smile of agreement to Taeyeon’s request. Tiffany sat
back down on Taeyeon’s bed. “Okay, sleep, I’ll stay right here.” She said soothing
Taeyeon to sleep as she brushes Taeyeon’s hair with one hand and held Taeyeon’s hand
with the other.
After two hours of resting, Taeyeon wakes up and finds Tiffany sleeping next to her, still
holding on to her hand. She attempted to get up but was unsuccessful. Feeling
movements, Tiffany wakes up.
“Taeyeon, are you okay now?” Tiffany asked then seeing Taeyeon nodded she smiled.
“Do you want some water?” She asked again. After Taeyeon nodded, Tiffany gets up and
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 216/252
brought back a glass of water. Before handing it to Taeyeon, she blows the surface of the
water and said, “The nurse said not to drink cold water. This is a bit hot, so be careful.”
After drinking some water, Taeyeon looked at Tiffany and said, “Thanks Tiffany, for
taking care of me. And sorry, I couldn’t go with you to the movies.”
Tiffany chuckled. “No problem, we’re friends, right? And it’s okay. I wanted to go to the
movies because I thought I was going to be bored, but you kept me company.” She
replied with a smile on her face.
“Kept you company? All I did was sleep.”
“But I had fun watching you sleep_” Tiffany blurted her thought out. She knew she
shouldn’t have said that and quickly covers her mouth with her hand.
“Watching me…sleep?” Taeyeon questioned shifting her eyebrows.
“Sorry Taeyeon, I left you the whole day today.” Yuri’s voice was heard when the door
suddenly opens. “Tiffany? What are you two doing?” She asked staring at the two on
Taeyeon’s bed.
“Nothing!” Tiffany shouted. “I’m going back to my room now.” She stated then headed
towards the door. And before she went in the bathroom, Tiffany turned around and stared
at Yuri. “Don’t tell Jessica.” She added.
“What’s going on? Did you guys made up?” Yuri asked staring at Taeyeon with a
confused face.

“I guess?”

After being taken cared by Tiffany, Taeyeon quickly recovers and was back to normal the
next day for class.
“Do you need help?” Taeyeon asked seeing how Tiffany turns her head side to side with
her nervous and confused face.
“Taeyeon…?” Tiffany asked in surprise since it has been a while since Taeyeon would
initiate to help or even talk to her. “Yes, I need help. Can you help me?” She asked and
smiled happily at the fact that Taeyeon has offered to help her.
“Do you get it now?” Taeyeon asked after she has explained it to Tiffany. Once Tiffany
nodded, she let out a smile and hesitated in continuing the conversation. “Tiffany ah, do
you have anything to do tonight?”
“No,” Tiffany shook her head.
“Well, to thank you for taking care of me last night…I want to treat you to dinner. What
do you say?” Taeyeon asked.
“Wait, you’re asking me to go on a date with you? I’m not dreaming right?” Tiffany
stated in surprise. When Taeyeon made the notion that this is not a dream, she quickly
replies with “Why would I say no?” Then she smiled like she always does causing

Taeyeon to laughs at her.
***
After two hours of tennis practice, the coach called the players in to adjourn the practice.
“Tiffany ah, here’s some water.” Donghae popped out of no where and handed a cup of
water to Tiffany.
“Uh…thanks Donghae.” Tiffany replied and forced out a smile. “What are you doing?”
She asked in her whispering voice.
“I told you, I will win your heart.” He replied.
“See that? That’s exactly what you should be doing.” Jessica told Yur i, watching
Donghae and Tiffany from a few feet away.
“Okay, let me give you two options to choose from. Water or a special treat’?” Yuri
asked.
“I want both!” Jessica whines and pouts in front of Yuri shaking her arm like a child.
“Okay, okay. I’m no match for your pout. I shouldn’t have melted your icy heart.” Yuri
gave in and quickly ran to get Jessica some water.
“And that’s how you should’ve treated her.” Jessica mocked then rolled her eyes at
Taeyeon who was standing there with her and Yuri.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 219/252
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Taeyeon said as she watches Tiffany ran over
to her side.
“Taeyeon ah, I’m not thirsty, do you want this?” Tiffany asked and brought the cup of
water that Donghae gave her up to Taeyeon’s face.
“Uh…he got it for you…”
“But if you want to, you can have it.” Tiffany insisted. She obviously didn’t want to give
Donghae any hope.
“Tiffany ah,” Donghae called trying to get Tiffany’s attention again. “If you’re not doing
anything tonight, we should go to the movies together since we couldn’t last time.”
“Uh…” Tiffany hesitated then looked over to Taeyeon who seems a bit uneasy. “I
actually have a date today already.” She finally admitted.
“Oh…then how about tomorrow? Or Friday?” Donghae continued to ask.
“We’ll see about it then.” Tiffany stated then forced out a smile again.
“Well, I guess I’ll leave you girls now. Bye.” Donghae bid his farewell then took off.
“Taeyeon ah, we should go get ready, fast!” Tiffany stated then pushes Taeyeon back to
their dorm quickly.

“What just happened?” Yuri asked as she walks back and handed Jessica her cup of water
“Are they together again?”
“I don’t know.”
***
After Taeyeon had treated Tiffany dinner, they took a stroll home.
“Tiffany ah, are you that…forgiving?” Taeyeon ask ed.
“What do you mean?”
“I know, I’ve hurt you a lot in the past but you are still nice to me.” She explained.
When Tiffany heard Taeyeon’s comment she smiled sweetly at Taeyeon. “What’s the
point of hating someone? It’ll only make them remember the pain from the past.” She
replied. “Besides, it wasn’t your fault. I was definitely…annoying.”
Tiffany has definitely matured after the incident . Taeyeon thought as she smiles back at
Tiffany. “No, I was being a jerk to you.” She said almost like arguing with Tiffany.
“Ya. Now you’re just trying to pick a fight over whose fault it was.” Tiffany stated.
“Anyways, why were you in the rain anyways? You obvious were at the bus stop since I
saw your umbrella.” She asked.
“Uh…I…” Taeyeon hesitated. “I saw you and Donghae kissing each other…” She stated.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 221/252
“Oh…no. It wasn’t what you saw. You only saw half of it!” Tiffany exclaimed. “Don’t
misunderstand. I mean he did try to kiss me but I pushed him away. I didn’t kiss him! I
promise!”
“Really?” Taeyeon assured then seeing how serious Tiffany looked, she smiled.
“But wait, what does that have you to do with you getting rained on?”
“I forgot that I left the umbrella on the ground when I was tying my shoe.” Taeyeon lied.
“And when I left it wasn’t raining so I didn’t remember when it started to rain and I
didn’t have an umbrella…yeah…that was it.”
After hearing how Taeyeon reacted when she saw Donghae trying to kiss her, Tiffany
just smiled. “Taeyeon ah…” Tiffany paused. “Can I…call you TaeTae again?” She asked
“Huh?” Taeyeon looked at Tiffany strangely. Why would she want to call me that? But I
recall she did call me that when she was carrying me to the nurse as well. She thought
and replied, “Um, I guess?”
“TaeTae!” Tiffany shouted and linked her arms with Taeyeon. Afraid that Taeyeon might
not like it she was about to release her arm.
Noticed that Tiffany was about to let go of her arm, Taeyeon turns to her and said. “Let’s
be just like before, huh?” Tiffany smiled back at her and continued to linked arms with
her till they arrive at their dorm.

Chapter 34
“Taeyeon!” Donghae’s voice was heard, catching Taeyeon’s attention while she was
walking back to her room from somewhere. “I need talk to you.”
“What is it?” Taeyeon asked. “Do we even know each other that well?”
“I’ll get straight to the point. I want you to leave Tiffany.” Donghae stated.
“What? Who are you to say that?”
“You know, Tiffany is a great girl and I don’t want you to hurt her again. Tiffany still has
feelings for you and I’m sure you know that but what about you? Do you love her? Do
you have confidence that you won’t hurt her again? You might think that you love her
now but you’re just feeling guilty about what you’ve done before or maybe you pity her
but it’s not love. Once you realize what you have for her is not love, no matter how nice
of a person you are, you will only hurt her. So if you even care about her just a little bit,
then leave her.” Donghae reasoned while looking seriously straight at Taeyeon.
“And you think you can make her happy?!” Taeyeon rebutted.
“At least, I truly like her.” Donghae replied. “Think about it.” He added then left Taeyeon
standing there
“TaeTae ah!” Tiffany called her as she ran over to Taeyeon’s side. “What are you doing
here?” She asked.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 223/252
“Nothing. I was…just looking at the scenery.” Taeyeon stated then smiled at Tiffany.
“Well, Jessica is hungry and Yuri’s taking her to cafeteria to eat dinner. She said we
should join them and eat.” Tiffany stated and started to pull Taeyeon’s arm dragging her
towards the direction of the cafeteria. “Come on, let’s go.” She said with a smile.
“Okay okay.” Taeyeon replied and followed Tiffany. Am I just doing this because I feel
guilty? Or because I pity her? Tiffany ah, do I really deserve your love? Taeyeon thought
M aybe its best for me to leave her. I have hurt her enough before and shouldnt continue
to hurt her.
***
“TaeTae ah,” Tiffany called as she opens the bathroom door to Taeyeon’s and Yuri’s
room. “Where is she?” She asked seeing only Yuri in the room.
“Oh, Taeyeon left early today. Don’t ask me why because I would like to know that
also.” Yuri replied. “Well, we got to go now or else we’ll be late.” She stated then rushes
over to Tiffany’s and Jessica’s room. “Jessica ah, let’s go.” She called.
***
While everyone had already sat down, Taeyeon came in right before the bell rang.
“TaeTae!” Tiffany called. “Over here,” she added pointing to a seat she has saved for
Taeyeon.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 224/252
Seeing that Tiffany was calling her, Taeyeon showed the expression that she needs to talk
to Sunny and thus will be sitting next to her. Tiffany understood what Taeyeon was trying
to convey but pout when Taeyeon sat down next to Sunny instead of by her.
After class ends, Taeyeon took her chance and quickly gets out of class before anyone
else does. Obviously, she’s trying to avoid Tiffany. And so she continued to avoid
Tiffany for the next couple of days.
***
While wandering around the school campus on a Friday evening to avoid Tiffany,
Taeyeon heard some music coming from her pocket. It was Zia’s I’m sorry I love you
song, and Taeyeon quickly knew that it was no one other than Tiffany who was calling
her. She picks up the phone and answered “Hello, Tiffany?”
“Taeyeon ah, where are you?” Tiffany asked on the phone.
“Uh…I’m the mall with Sunny.” She replied lying about her location.
“Really? Can I join you guys?”
“No. I mean, we’re about to watch a movie at the mall. It’s going to start soon, so I’ll talk
to you later, okay?” Taeyeon stated then quickly hangs up without allowing Tiffany to
say another word. After she hung up, she sighed of relief.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 225/252
“Kim Taeyeon!” Tiffany voice was heard…but it wasn’t on the phone. It sounded like
she was right behind Taeyeon.
Hearing Tiffany’s voice, Taeyeon was shocked. Then hesitated, she slowly turns her
body around, praying that it wasn’t Tiffany. Once she could see who was behind her, all
she could do was lower her head. “Tiffany…”
“Why are you lying to me? If you don’t want to see me just tell me, why do you have to
lie to me?!” Tiffany exclaimed with a loud voice.
“…”
“Who do you think you are Kim Taeyeon? Who do you think you are to play with my life
like this?” She questioned. “One day you would be so close to me then the next day you
just avoid me! You know what? I’m sick of this! If you never want to be so close to me in
the first place then don’t give me that hope! Fine, if you don’t want to deal with me
anymore then I’ll stay away like you want me to!”
“Tiffany ah, I…I…”
“That’s enough! I don’t want to hear anymore of your lies. You have a good life then,
because this will be the last thing I will ever say to you.” Tiffany stated then stormed off.
After Tiffany left, Taeyeon just stood there watching her walk away. “That right, just
hate me. You’ll be better off without me.” She mumbled to herself, still with her head
down low.

“Taeyeon…?”
When Taeyeon looks up, she finds Yuri standing there. It seems like she saw the whole
scene between Taeyeon and Tiffany. “Yuri ah…I’m such a bad person, right?”
“What happened?” Yuri asked as she browses Taeyeon’s face to find droplets of tears
running down her cheeks. Ive never seen Taeyeon cried before. What exactly is going on
Yuri thought as felt Taeyeon hugged her tightly.
“Why does it hurt so much pushing her away even if I know it’s the best for her?”
Taeyeon questioned while continuing to cry on Yuri’s shoulder.
“Look at how pathetic you are.” Out of no where, Jessica’s voice was heard surprising
Taeyeon.
“Jessica?”
“Do you not know how to differentiate between pity and love?” Jessica asked in her
mocking tone. “If you never had any feelings for her, it wouldn’t have hurt you. And yes,
I overheard your conversation with Donghae.” She disclosed. “Yuri ah, let her figure out
her own feelings herself.” She stated then pulled Yuri away leaving Taeyeon standing
there by herself.
“Ya, Sica ah…we can’t leave her like that.” Yuri said.
“It will only help her, don’t worry.” Jessica assured then she turned to Yuri and asked,
“Do you love me or do you pity me?”

After Yuri and Jessica left, Taeyeon went back to the room to think over her feelings. As
she sat on her bed looking around the room, she was reminded of the numerous events
that took place in this room. She was reminded of the day Tiffany claimed that she was
her girlfriend and gave her a kiss. She was reminded of the time when Tiffany had tricked
her and gave her a peck on her cheeks. Then she would be reminded of how Tiffany
would always be in the room to only be ignored by her. After so much thinking, Taeyeon
shrugged. As she moves around on her bed, she accidentally pressed a button on her TV
remote. It seemed like she hit the power button since the TV turned on.
“Ye Eun!” A man cried while kneeling down in front of a grave.
Isnt this that With All My Love drama that Tiffany and Sunny watch? Taeyeon thought
as she continues watching.
“I’m sorry I’ve failed to see your love for me. I’m sorry Ye Eun ah.” The man continued
to cry. “If only I had known sooner and convey my love to you sooner, you wouldn’t
have been in so much pain. If only, I could tell you before you left. Ye Eun ah, please
forgive me.”
Babo-ah. This whole time, shes been giving you so many hints that she loves you. Why
were you so blind to her love? Taeyeon thought as she remembers Tiffany’s reaction
when she last saw the drama in the room. Kim Taeyeon, you have made the biggest
mistake in your life to hurt her, the person that you are in love with.

Chapter 35
After Tiffany stormed off, she went off campus to the mall. She wandered around and
around the mall until late at night. By the time she returns to university, she saw Taeyeon
sitting on a bench.
“Tiffany!” Taeyeon called as she stands up and ran over to Tiffany. It seems like she has
been sitting on the bench waiting for Tiffany the whole day. “Tiffany, let me explain.”
“Look, I don’t hate anyone as of right now, so don’t be the first person.” Tiffany stated
pushing Taeyeon aside.
“Tiffany!” Taeyeon yelled and ran in front of Tiffany. “Please, just hear me out.” She
said.
“I’ll give you thirty seconds.” Tiffany stated.
“Come on, Tiffany. Don’t be like this.” Taeyeon protested.
“Twenty five seconds.”
“Fine. At first I didn’t know that you like me. And after everything I wanted to treat you
better but someone challenged my feelings for you. And I…I wasn’t confident enough to
say that I do actually like you…but now I know. I’m sure of it. Tiffany, I like you.”
Taeyeon claimed.

“Ya, Kim Taeyeon. Don’t tell me you’re just going to give her up like that. After all you
guys have been through? After you realize that you like her?” Yuri questioned
challenging Taeyeon.
“Well, if she hates me, I should just give up.” Taeyeon replied.
“If you don’t try, how do you know she doesn’t still like you?! You’re always like that,
yet you never try to apologize to her and show her that you’re sincere.” Yuri exclaimed
shaking her head at Taeyeon. “I’m going back to Jessica now, you should think about
how you can apologize to Tiffany.” She added before leaving Taeyeon in the room
Yuri is right, I should try to apologize to her again. More serious and sincere. Taeyeon
thought and snapped her fingers. She then jumps off from her bed, quickly gets dressed,
and left the room.
***
“Hi, welcome to our restaurant. I’m Wenting, and I will be your waitress tonight.” A
waitress said welcoming the lonely Tiffany into the restaurant. “Is it just you tonight?”
She asked.
“Yes, I’m just alone tonight. Actually, I think you were our waitress last time too. I
remember you.” Tiffany stated as she sits down at a table that was guided by the waitress
named Wenting.
“Oh really, I think I remember you too. So, what can I get you tonight?” Wenting asked
taking out her writing pad and took Tiffany’s order.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 233/252
As she sat waiting for her food, her phone suddenly vibrated. You got a new text message
Tiffany read to herself. It was from Taeyeon. Can you give me one last chance to show
you my sincerity? Meet me at the place where you first met me at 8:00 tonight. Rain or
shine, I will be there waiting until you show up. Tiffany read the message. “What does
she want now?” She asked and rolled her eyes then glancing at the clock in the restaurant
It was 7:00 PM.
“Here’s your food, enjoy!” Wenting stated as she place the plate down on the table with a
smile. “If you need anything else, just call me over.” She added before leaving Tiffany
alone.
It took Tiffany about half an hour to finish eating. And after leaving the restaurant, she
headed to the mall to wander around. As she wanders around from store to store at the
mall, she came across an electronic store. She went it to check out the itouch that she has
always wanted to buy. But before reaching to the itouch section, she came across a TV
that was broadcasting the weather channel.
“Its predicted that there will be a 90% chance of rain within a couple of hours. So if you
really need to leave the house, please do so carefully.”
“I’m sure she’s not that dumb.” Tiffany mumbled and continues to walk towards the
itouch section.
***
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 234/252
While Tiffany was wandering around the mall, Taeyeon was sitting on a bench at the
stated location waiting for Tiffany the whole time. It has already past 8 but Tiffany was
no where in sight but she continues to wait. It was cold. Although Taeyeon was in her big
coat, she was freezing while sitting there waiting for Tiffany. And as she continues to sit
there, she felt droplets of water on back of her hand. By the time she looks up to the sky,
a heavy rain has already poured down on her.
“Oh no, my drawings!” Taeyeon exclaims as she gets up from where she’s sitting to
cover up the drawings she has drawn with chalk on the sidewalk. But the rain was too
hard for her little body to cover her numerous drawings that are all scattered around. “If
only I brought an umbrella.” She muttered under her breath still trying to cover her
drawings.
After a while, she gave up on trying to cover up the drawings and sat back down the
bench hugging herself in the rain. “Tiffany can come at any moment now, so I can’t leave
I’m sure she’s going to be here soon. I’m sure.” She mumbles as her body trembles in the
freezing cold weather.
***
“Jessica ah…” Yuri called. She was lying on Tiffany’s bed while Jessica was reading her
book on her bed again.
“Hmm?”
“I’m bored.” Yuri stated then slowly climbs on Jessica’s bed lying next to her. “What are
you reading?”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 235/252
“A book.”
“What is it about?”
“Stuff.”
“How about you give me a kiss?”
“Okay.” Jessica replied without even thinking. “Wait. What did you just ask me?” She
asked turning over to f ace Yuri but all Yuri did was smiling. “What?”
“No one’s home, Jessica. We should…do something.” Yuri suggested giving Jessica a
wink.
“…like what?...”
“I don’t know, what do you think?”
“Read?”
Yuri just rolled her eyes at Jessica’s answer then grabbed the book from Jessica’s hand.
“No more reading for you tonight.” She stated placing the book on the table next to the
bed.
“Yuri ah…if you get me food, I’ll give you a kiss.”
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 236/252
“What?” Yuri asked. “You’re always using me, this is no fair.” She complains shaking
her head.
“It’s a fair trade.” Jessica stated with her mischievous smile. “Food for a kiss.”
“I really wonder if you like me or food more.” Yuri stated in disappointment as she gets
up from the bed.
“Ya…Yuri ah…” Jessica whines pulling Yuri back down on the bed. “Food is essential
to my life and so are you. Is that a good enough answer for you?” She stated pulling
Yuri’s face closer to her own. Looking into Yuri’s eyes, she gave Yuri a smile before
reaching for a light kiss on her lips.
“Jessica ah, do you think Tiffany would mind if I spend the night here?” She asked as she
lies down next to Jessica putting herself under Jessica’s blanket.
“Kwon Yuri, trying to take advantage of me again?”

Chapter 36
It was about 9:30 when Tiffany arrives at the school gate. Knowing that it was going to
rain, she was smart enough to buy an umbrella and was safe from the heavy rain that was
going on. After getting off the taxi, Tiffany walks quickly to her dorm building. There,
she saw someone that she didn’t expect to see, Donghae.
“Tiffany.” He called, standing up from sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the dorm
building.
“What is it?” Tiffany asked, though not interested in what he has to say.
“I’m actually leaving by the end of this week, and want to say goodbye.” He stated.
“Oh, well good luck to wherever you’re going.” Tiffany said with a smile.
“Actually, besides that I also wanted to talk to you about Taeyeon.” He paused, waiting
for Tiffany’s reaction.
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“It was my fault. I told her to leave you. I challenged her to her own feelings, saying that
the only reason why she’s treating you better is because she feels guilty and pities you.”
Donghae stated lowering his head with guilt. “You should let her explain.” He added.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 238/252
Now Tiffany finally understands what Taeyeon was trying to tell her before. “But if she
didn’t have doubts about her feelings, she wouldn’t have done so.” Tiffany argued.
“Well, it’s up to you to decide. I guess I’m leaving now. It was nice knowing you
Tiffany.” He stated then walks up the stairs to his dorm.
Tiffany too, walks up stairs back to her dorm after Donghae left. Once she enters the
room, she can hear Yuri and Jessica giggling inside.
“What are you guys doing?!” Tiffany asked seeing how they were both on Jessica’s bed.
“It’s not what you think!” Yuri exclaimed. “We’re just sleeping…together.”
“Nothing else.” Jessica added
“Right. Whatever.” Tiffany said then sat down on her bed.
“Yuri, your phone is vibrating.” Jessica stated pointing to Yuri’s phone on the desk.
“Thanks.” Yuri replied and picks up the phone. “Hello, ahjusshi?...Oh, Taeyeon? I
haven’t seen her today…hmm you can’t call her? I’ll try to find her for you. Don’t worry
too much ahjusshi. Ok, bye.” After hanging up, Yuri stood up and goes through the
bathroom doors to her room. After a few seconds, she came back. “Have you guys seen
Taeyeon?” She asked.
Both Tiffany and Jessica shook her head to Yuri’s question.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 239/252
Hmm, could she still be waiting for me? Tiffany thought. Nah, I doubt it, its raining
heavily outside, who would be so stupid to wait.
“Args, she’s not picking up her phone.” Yuri grumbles as she hangs up her phone call to
Taeyeon.
“I might know where she is…” Tiffany let out softly causing Jessica and Yuri to look at
her. “She sent me a text message saying she wants to meet me at 8…” She continued.
“8? It’s already 10.” Jessica commented.
“Where at?” Yuri asked.
“She said the first time I met her.”
“So at the park?” Jessica asked.
“I guess?”
“But it’s raining really hard would she still be there?” Yuri questioned.
“And if she’s out there…” Jessica proposed.
“We need to find her.” Tiffany stated then rushes out the door.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 240/252
It took the girls about 30 minutes to get to the park since it was hard getting a taxi in the
rain, and driving there wasn’t great either. But once the girls got there, they did not see
Taeyeon.
“Where could she be?” Yuri asked.
“I think I know where she is. You guys head home, I’ll go over there myself.” Tiffany
stated then hopped on another taxi.
After telling the taxi driver where she needs to be dropped off, the taxi driver drove off
leaving Yuri and Jessica behind. She must be at the bridge then if shes not here. Tiffany
thought as she sits in the taxi waiting until she arrives. Through the windows she can see
that Taeyeon was sitting on a bench at the bridge. She told the driver to drop her off and
he did. After paying him, Tiffany got off the taxi with a pink umbrella over her head.
As she walks towards Taeyeon, who did not see her, Tiffany notice there were some
blurry image on the sidewalk. She tries to make up what they were and only see blurry
figures and words. She could barely make up what the words were saying, and they
looked like “I’m Sorry” in English. Then she continues to walk to Taeyeon who was
sitting on the bench hugging herself. “Kim Taeyeon! What do you think you’re doing?!
Let’s go home!” Tiffany shouted.
Hearing Tiffany’s voice, Taeyeon woke up from sitting there in the cold. Her face was as
pale as a sheet of paper. Her body was still trembling from the cold weather and soaked
in the heavy rain. Once she finally opens her eyes, she saw Tiffany running to her with
her pink umbrella. “Tiffany ah!” Taeyeon whispers weakly with a smile on her face and
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 241/252
attempted to stand up. Unfortunately, Taeyeon never got the chance to stand up before
she fell down on the ground.
“Taeyeon!” Tiffany shouted and rushes to see Taeyeon on the ground. “Taeyeon!”
“Tiffany ah,” Taeyeon whispered and slowly pulled the phone from her pocket out. “The
pictures_” was all she could continue before losing conscious.

Taeyeon was immediately rushed to the hospital with Tiffany along her side. Yuri and
Jessica came in afterwards after hearing about it from Tiffany who had called them.
“Where is she?” Yuri asked rushing to Tiffany who was sitting on a chair.
“She’s in the emergency room right now.” Tiffany stated. “Apparently she had been
outside in the rain this whole time.” She added with a sense of guilt that she did not show
up.
“What?! Is she crazy?!’ Yuri exclaimed.
“She was telling the truth…she was going to stay there till I show up.”
“Ya, Tiffany. I know you have every right not to show up, but couldn’t you at least tell
her that? She was sitting there waiting for you?” Yuri exclaimed. “Don’t you know she
could get sick sitting out there in the rain?!”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 242/252
“Yuri ah, calm down.” Jessica stated holding her back.
“I didn’t think she was going to continue to stay there.” Tiffany stated.
“Why wouldn’t she? She loves you!” Yuri yelled but Jessica continues to hold her back.
“Have you ever put yourself in her shoes? Right, she did hurt you badly before but can
you really blame her for being ignorant to your love? And did you know that after that
day that you confronted her that she was avoiding you she was crying to me? She thought
it would be the best if you were to stay away from her because she was not confident of
her love and afraid that she was going to hurt you again.” She disclosed.
“Yuri, calm down. Yelling at Tiffany isn’t going to help anything right now.” Jessica
asserted.
“If you want to side with her than go ahead, I’m leaving.” Yuri stated then stormed out.
“Yuri!” Jessica shouted. “Tiffany, I’ll be right back.” She said then quickly chase after
Yuri.
As Tiffany waited outside the emergency room, she remembers that Taeyeon had given
her her phone. Curious of what Taeyeon meant by “the pictures” she took out Taeyeon’s
phone. It was wet. No wonder we couldnt reach her. Tiffany thought as she tries to dry
the phone with her shirt. Still wasn’t able to turn the phone back on, she opens the battery
and cleaned it. Finally, Tiffany thought as she sees the screen turned on. Assuming she
meant the pictures that she took, Tiffany looked for the picture folder on Taeyeon’s
phone. There, she saw them. They were pictures of the chalk drawings that Taeyeon has
drawn on the sidewalk of the bridge. Tiffany could tell that Taeyeon had taken these
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 243/252
pictures while it was raining since she can see the droplets of rain on the ground.
Although it was raining, Taeyeon had managed to take the picture before the chalk was
completely washed away and thus could see clearly what the drawings were of.
The first drawing was of a little girl on her knees looking very sad and sincere. Above her
head was “I’m Sorry” written in English. With the droplets of rain there, it seems though
like the girl was crying while kneeling. The second drawing was of the same little girl,
but this time it looks like she was slapping herself with the saying, “I deserve to be
punished” written in Korean. The third drawing was of the same little girl with her hands
together like she was begging for something. And above it was the words “please forgive
me, I can’t live without you.” The last picture, with the additional of the previous ones,
had left an impression in Tiffany as it shows in her teary eyes. It wasn’t really a drawing.
All it was, was “Tiffany, I love you” written in English.
Babo-ah. Tiffany thought as she closes her eyes letting the tears that were formed in her
eyes to drip off.

Chapter 37
Yuri continued to walk away while Jessica continued to chase after her. Soon, they were
outside of the hospital. Although the rain has stopped for a while now, the ground was
still wet causing Yuri to halt.
“Yuri ah!” Jessica shouted chasing after Yuri.
“Go back to your Tiffany!” Yuri shouted back.
“Oh…so that’s what this is all about.” Jessica realized. “Why would I go back with
Tiffany when you’re out here?” She asked while wrapping her arm around Yuri’s waist
hugging her back. “I wasn’t siding with her, I was just trying to calm you down, Yuri ah.
Don’t you know my love for you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Yuri lied though her smile was definitely
visible. “I was just mad that Tiffany could have called and tell Taeyeon then she wouldn’t
be in this state.” She stated.
“But don’t you think it’s a good thing?” Jessica questioned. “Think about it. This shows
that Taeyeon loves Tiffany a lot and I’m sure Tiffany would acknowledge that.” She
proposed.
“I guess you’re right.” Yuri agreed then turns her body around facing Jessica. “Let’s go
back with Tiffany.” She suggested then smiled at Jessica.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 245/252
“Ok,” Jessica replied smiling at Yuri.
So Yuri and Jessica walked back in the hospital together. Once they arrived at the
emergency room, they noticed that the emergency room’s door was open.
“Doctor Dong, how is she?” Tiffany asked as Taeyeon was pushed away on a bed.
“She should be fine now. Just don’t let her stand in the rain anymore. Her body is very
weak and wouldn’t be able to stand it.” Doctor Dong answered.
“Thank you, doctor.” Tiffany said bowing to him. Turning to Yuri and Jessica she stated,
“She’s okay now. You guys must be tired. Go home, I can take care of her.”
After Yuri and Jessica looked at each other, they decided that they should leave Tiffany
and Taeyeon alone. “Ok then.” Jessica replied. “We’ll be back tomorrow to check on you
two.” She added before leaving the hospital with Yuri.
After Yuri and Jessica left, Tiffany walks to Taeyeon’s room. Taeyeon was sleeping
peacefully when Tiffany entered the room.
“I’m Miwa,” A nurse introduced herself. “If you need anything, I’ll be right out there.”
She stated then left Tiffany and Taeyeon in the room.
Seeing that nurse had left, Tiffany sat down on a chair besides Taeyeon’s bed. She
scooted her chair closer to the bed to be able to watch Taeyeon clearly. Slowly she
strokes Taeyeon’s hair with her hand while watching Taeyeon. Kim Taeyeon, all you
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 246/252
know how to do is to hurt me. Do you think Im happy seeing you like this? Tiffany
thought.
***
Once Taeyeon regained her conscious and opens her eyes she saw Tiffany sleeping with
her upper body on the bed while the rest of the body was on the chair. Knowing that
Tiffany is easily awakened, she did not move at all and just lay there watching Tiffany.
Not long after did Tiffany wakes up.
“Taeyeon, you’re okay now?” Tiffany asked sitting up from the bed.
“I’m fine now.” Taeyeon replied with a smile on her face.
“Do you want some water? Let me get you some.” Tiffany stated and was about to get up
when she felt Taeyeon grip on her wrist. She sat back down and turned to Taeyeon.
“Don’t leave me, please?” Taeyeon stated. “I know have done many wrong things and
have hurt you greatly and I’m truly sorry. I know that I don’t even deserve your
forgiveness but I beg of you to forgive me.” She continued with a droplet of tears rolling
down her cheeks. “Tiffany ah, I love you. I’m sorry for realizing this too late but I really
do Tiffany ah. I don’t know when it started but all I know now is that I don’t wish to live
without you. So please, give me one more chance to prove my love to you, to treat you
better, to love you.”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 247/252
Tiffany didn’t say anything but the tears on her face were visible. After Taeyeon finished
her sentence, Tiffany nodded in tears and hugged Taeyeon. “Taeyeon ah, there was never
a day that I stopped loving you and I hate you for that.” She cried.
After the long warm and passionate hug, they let go of each other. Seeing that there are
still tears on Tiffany’s face, Taeyeon uses her hands to wipe them away. After she had
finished wiping Tiffany’s tears away, she brought her hands down from Tiffany’s cheeks
to her jaw line. Their eyes were locked on each others as Taeyeon pulls Tiffany in closer
to her. Slowly but steady their faces move in closer and closer to each other. Soon, their
lips touch one another’s and the next they know, they were making out with each other.
“Tae_” Yuri shouted as she opens the door to the room but as soon as she saw Taeyeon
and Tiffany, she was shocked.
“What’s going on?” Jessica asked trying to see why Yuri was standing still.
Hearing Jessica’s question, Yuri turned around and blocked her from entering the room.
“Jessica, close your eyes!” She demanded.
By this time, Taeyeon and Tiffany had pulled themselves away from each other in
embarrassment. “Ya, Kwon Yuri.” Tiffany called. “Don’t act like you two have never
made out before.” She stated.
“You guys were making out?!” Jessica shouted pushing Yuri aside and enters the room.
“You should have let me see!” She stated staring at Yuri who just rolled her eyes at her.
“I see you guys are fine?” Yuri asked as she and Jessica walks towards Taeyeon’s bed.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 248/252
“Why of course.” Taeyeon smirked as she lets Tiffany’s head rest on her shoulder.
“Tiffany ah, so does this mean you’re not going back to the States?” She asked.
“Of course I’m going back. I’ve already bought the ticket.” Tiffany answered
“But…but…I thought we made up. Doesn’t this mean you’re going to stay with me?”
“What are you talking about? I’m just going back to visit my parents for winter break.”
Tiffany stated looking at Taeyeon with a clueless face.
“But_” Taeyeon was about to say something when she heard Jessica and Yuri giggling.
She knew she has been tricked. “Jessica, you tricked me!” She yelled.
“I didn’t trick you. All I said was she’s going back to the States. I didn’t say for how
long.” Jessica rebutted.
“Don’t look at me.” Yuri stated. “She tricked me too until last night.”
“Wait. So the reason why you apologized was because you thought I was going back to
the States?” Tiffany questioned.
“No, of course not. I would have done the same thing if you weren’t leaving.” Taeyeon
claimed then smiled nervously at Tiffany.

It was about 9 AM in the morning when Taeyeon and Tiffany arrived at the airport with
her two pink suitcases. One by one, Taeyeon helped Tiffany carry them through the
check in station.
“Ya, you’re just going back for a few weeks, why are you taking so much stuff?”
Taeyeon complained at the weights and sizes of the two suitcases. Once Tiffany gave her
a glare, Taeyeon knew she shouldn’t complain anymore.
“Here’s your plane ticket.” The airport worker said giving Tiffany her ticket.
“Thanks,” Tiffany replied and with Taeyeon they left the station so the next person
behind them could check in. “I told you, you didn’t have to take me to the airport. You’ve
just healed. What if you get sick again?” She petitioned.
“You’re going to leave me for so long, and expect me not to see you off?” Taeyeon
rebutted.
“When did you ever like being together with me? Remember? I was that annoying girl
who bugs you 24/7.” Tiffany stated rolling her eyes at Taeyeon.
“It was different then. Now, I just want to be with you as much as possible.” Taeyeon
replied with a mischievous smile on her face. “Tiffany ah, we just made up and you’re
going to leave me like this?” She whines with a pout on her face that caused Tiffany to
giggles.
“It’s not my fault you made up with me too late.” Tiffany reasoned and used her hands to
pinch Taeyeon’s cheeks. Suddenly, she leaned in and gave the pouting Taeyeon a peak on
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 250/252
her lips. “Don’t worry, I will be back soon. I promise I’ll call you as much as I can,
okay?” She claimed.
“Passengers going to the United States, please board the plane at this moment.”
“I have to go now.” Tiffany stated then hugged Taeyeon tightly. “I’ll be back soon. Bye
Taeyeon!” She bid her farewell waving at Taeyeon as she walks towards the gate.
“Remember to call me!” Taeyeon shouted.
***
It’s been a couple of weeks since Tiffany had gone back to United States. And Taeyeon
has waited long for this day to come, the day Tiffany returns. Taeyeon wait patiently at
the arrival gate for Tiffany to come out any second now. After a while, Taeyeon sees
many people coming through the arrival gate. She knew it has to be Tiffany’s flight and
looked hard to find her. After looking back and forth, side to side, she finally spotted
Tiffany. Taeyeon was excited and was about to shout out Tiffany’s name when she saw
two handsome guys besides her. Taeyeon didn’t say anything and just follow them until
the two guys separated from Tiffany.
“Tiffany!” Taeyeon shouted as she rushes over to Tiffany. “Who were those two guys
with you?” She questioned.
“Your first question after I came back is that?” Tiffany asked rolling her eyes. “Taeyeon
ah, when did you learn to be jealous? From your best friend, Yuri?” She asked again.
“They’re as straight as you and I are.” She added brighten up Taeyeon’s mood.
8/10/2019 wishing you were here
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 251/252
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was just curious who they were.” Taeyeon
stated lying about her jealousy.
“Bye Tiffany!” A girl voice’s shouted.
“Bye Wenting! See you around.” Tiffany shouted back to the girl who was waving her
hand at her.
“And who was that?!” Taeyeon asked.
“My girlfriend.”
“What?!”
“But don’t worry, you’re my wife.” Tiffany stated then wraps her arm around Taeyeon’s
arm as the both of them exit the airport with Tiffany’s suitcases.
“Who said you’re the man in the relationship?” Taeyeon asked. “You’re MY wife.” She
emphasized. “But really, who was she?” She asked again.
“She’s a waitress at a restaurant that I go to and we just happen to be on the same flight.”
Tiffany stated.
“Are you sure she’s not stalking you?”

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wishing-you-were-here 252/252
“I’m sure, Taeyeon ah.” Tiffany assured. “Let’s go home now, I want to give you a
kiss.” She stated.
“What?!”
