Chapter 34: Taeyeons Bir (1/1)

Chapter 35: Taeyeon’s Birthday Tiffany’s POV“Yahhhh Fanyyyyyy. It’s too earlyyyyyy. Why do I have to get up?” Taeyeon complained.“Aish you are still so lazy in the mornings!” I yelled back at her.I kept a grip on her wrist, guiding her in the somewhat darkness of the early morning.“Fanyyyyyy!” She kept complaing.I immediately stopped. I could tell Taeyeon was probably making that super confused face she gives me whenever I do something weird. But….“SURPRISE!!!!”The lights came on as everyone appeared with full smiles on their faces and laughing at Taeyeon as she jumped up from shock.“Oh my god! It’s too early for this!” Taeyeon said giggling.Everyone came up and we all circled around the birthday girl, squeezing her tightly. Even all the guardians joined in to celebrate the birthday girl’s special day.“Yahhh happy birthday Tae!” Haruna yelled.“Happy birthday Unnie!” Sulli yelled as well.Taeyeon couldn’t stop smiling and immediately woke up from all the excitement and love.“Oy! Get off the girl everyone. Hugs are nice, but Asuna, Lucy, and Ji Eun all made us special breakfast.” Reager commented.“Oh my gosh! Asuna’s cooking. I’m excited.” Sunny said.Everyone proceeded into the dining room and took a seat. Taeyeon took a seat at the head of the table and I took the seat right next to her.It definitely had been a while since Asuna had time to make us a meal. Never have had Lucy or Ji Eun cook for us either, but pretty sure the three of them could make special stuff.Looking at Taeyeon, I saw that she had brought a chair next to her.Sigh….Tae…..“Taeyeon, we don’t need that extra chair there. You know that.” I told her.Taeyeon shook her head, being adorable and cutesy like she always tried to be around me.“He could wake up today Fany. I don’t want him to feel like we left him out of anything.” She replied.That girl was very hopeful. I honestly wish I had her optimism with all of this. It had been months since Damian was in a coma. Honestly…I didn’t think he would pull out from it. Taeyeon kept me going though, getting me out of bed on my hardest days and always cuddling me when we were sleeping. She deserved a happier me today of all days.“Tada! Alright everyone, hope you are ready to get fat.” Asuna shouted as her, Lucy, and Ji Eun came in.Asuna was carrying a large stack of pancakes, while Ji Eun had trays filled with what looked like crepes stuffed with bacon and potatoes. Lucy on the other hand had a large bowl of fresh fruit with her.“This is actually just a bit of what we have prepared everyone.” Ji Eun said with a large smile.“Oh my god. Songie made crepes. This is why if I were a lesbian I would be in love with you.” Hyosung exclaimed.“Hyosung!” Victoria said.All of us had gotten used to Hyo being a little blunt at times. It was what made her pretty amusing to be around though.“Ah! Taeyeon Unnie, I forgot!” Krystal said.Shuffling through her pockets, she pulled out Damian’s phone. Ever since she was given it, she had not let it go.“I video called Jessi. She wanted to say happy birthday!” Krystal said with a grin.Sliding the phone over to Taeyeon, I smushed my cheeks close to my best friend and looked on as Jessica waved hi to the both of us.“Jessi! We miss you!!!! How is everything with Blanc going?” Taeyeon asked.“It’s going well Tae. I’m promoting everywhere I can and for now nothing with Seris has popped up so everything is better than I could have hoped for.” She replied with a thumbs up.“We are so proud of you Jessica.” I told her.“Thank you Fany. I miss you all. Is he awake yet by the way?” Jessica asked.Taeyeon shook her head and gave a small pout.“Hey. It’s your birthday. Besides when he wakes up, he’ll be so shocked at all the progress all of us made.” Jessica told Taeyeon, tubbing the camera with her finger to make it look like she was petting Tae.“He will be super proud of you Jessi. He knew he wanted to chase your dream and even in bad circumstance you are doing it. I know I’m proud of you.” Taeyeon said with a soft smile.Jessica laughed a little and kissed the camera.“That means a lot to me Tae. Thank you.” She said.Adjusting her hair, Jessica gave us the peace sign with one of her hands.“Go have a good birthday. Love you girls, tell everyone I miss them.” Jessica said.“Love you too! Have a good day Jessi.” Taeyeon replied.Hanging up on the video call, we slid the phone back over to Krystal. During this time, all of the food was presented and…well we had a job ahead of us.“WOOOO! Time to get fat!” Luna yelled.“Aish Luna you hopefully can control yourself.” Sooyoung said.“Coming from you Soo….that’s a bit hard to comment on.” Yuri said laughing.“All right everyone! Dig in!” Asuna yelled.“ITADAKIMASU!” Half of the table yelled.“MOKE GA!”The other half yelled.Oh boy…I might get into a food coma after this….Ji Eun’s POV…I think I might have ate too much.Now I wasn’t as sexy according to fans as much as Hyo was, but hey, pretty sure I ruined the figure I did have after all that food.“Oh my god….I don’t wanna move….” Seohyun said, holding her stomach.I will be the first to admit, both SNSD and f(x) were all pretty adorable girls. I could see why Damian gravitated towards them so easily. In the past few months, all of us had easily gotten close, well…maybe except for Hyosung. Of course she was friendly, but that woman and her obsession with winning Damian of course caused some interesting situations to come up. Honestly she wanted to just screw him like a lioness, I knew that better than anyone.“Thank you for the meal girls, it was really delicious.” BoA said out loud.“No problem Onaychan. I’m glad you were able to have a good meal today! I hope your album has been coming along well.” Asuna said happily.All of the relationships that were broken seemed to have evened out. I honestly was satisfied with everything happening and couldn’t be more relieved that we all have had the past few months to just relax.Of course we had to go on to promote Secret Summer, I had 25, and Sunhwa and Hyosung were requested for more activities. However, outside of that, things were pretty calm.“Gah…so fullllll….” Hyosung moaned, rubbing her belly.“Well if you would have controlled yourself Hyo this wouldn’t have happened.” Sunhwa told her.“Sooyoung Unnie didn’t even eat as much as you Hyosung Unnie…” Sunhwa said.“…did Sunhwa just call me fat?” Sooyoung questioned.“I don’t think so Soo, just…really hungry?” Hyoyeon said with a giggle.As much as I loved watching everyone get along extremely well. I had one job left to do. Damian entrusted me with a lot. To be honest I never would have thought that I would have to implement some of this stuff. Training with the Omega braces for the others seemed to be completed. However…there was one bracelet that wasn’t completed yet.Standing up I walked to the other side of the table, focusing on a very interesting individual. I would finally be able to get to spend some alone time with her.“Krystal. May I see you in private for a moment?” I said, putting my hand on her shoulder.“Ah. Of course Ji Eun Unnie.” Krystal said with a nod.Getting up, we walked to my room. I remained silent because I needed just a tiny bit of focus on what to say. Sure I was easy to talk to, but Krystal was kinda Damian’s special “little gem”.Once we got in, I knew I would only have a couple minutes with her. Better make them count.“Go ahead and sit down Krystal.” I said.The younger girl sat down, looking around in my room as I looked for the necessary component I needed for what I was tasked to do.“Ji Eun Unnie, that dress on your chair. Is that the black one you wore in the music video for 25?” Krystal asked.“Ah yes, that is the exact same one. Good eye Krystal.” I said, still rummaging through my things.(said dress if you have not seen it **)“Yah it looked so good on you! The people in wardrobe must have a good taste when it comes to choosing for you.” She said.“Actually….Damian was the one who gave me that dress. While he started protecting the rest of you, he sent that to me.” I replied.“Hmmm? Oppa gave it to you?” She asked.After finding the item I needed, I sat down on my bed and stared at the dress in question with a smile.“Yes. Damian and I have…flirted in the past. Hyosung jokes that I was his second love. He always knew what looked good on me. At first when he sent it I told him I refuse to wear it for him, however, when I was shooting for the video, I requested to wear it.” I replied.Krystal gave a pretty surprised look.“Damian’s taste in fashion is that good?” she said with a wide-eyed expression.I couldn’t help but laugh at this. I knew that me and Damian were attached to each other in many ways, but I was surprised he kept that aspect of him hidden for so long. I guess if you have the reputation of being one of the most deadliest men in the world, you leave out a few details.“Krystal can I see your bracelet?” I asked.Giving me her wrist, I looked at the prototype with as much focus I could give. This one…I knew what it was. How could I not.“…he wants to protect you a great deal Krystal.” I said with in a hushed tone.“Hmm? Why would you say that?” she asked me.Better to show her I guess. Taking out a screw driver, I scanned the bracelet for something that shouldn’t be there…low and behold I found a metal plate that looked a bit out of place. I unscrewed the one small screw that kept it on the bracelet. Once it fell, I couldn’t help but smile.“Look, an engraving. Read what it says.” I told Krystal.“…to protect the one I love most…” Krystal read.Her face went from a look of confusion for a few seconds, to one of shocking revelation.“Is this…?” Krystal asked while pointing at the bracelet.I nodded.“That is Mi-Hi’s brace. The only one of its kind, we call it the Lotus Brace.” I replied.I honestly didn’t know how it worked, but my job was to unlock it’s potential. Besides producing a force field and short range teleportation, it had other uses. Only Damian knew them though since well…he did build the thing.Taking a small chip, I touched the gem that was dominantly shown on the brace.Passphrase pleaseA female computerized voice asked.“…My life, for yours.”Vocal identification : Song Ji EunAnalyzing….Vocal identification deemed safe. The gem slowly disappeared, showing a slot for something to be inserted into the core of the bracelet. I pulled out the chip necessary for the brace to activate. Once placed, the gem reformed over the brace, and instead of being a red color, it changed into a blue one.“Wait….all it did was change colors? “ Krystal asked perplexed.“It’s okay. It changing to blue means that it is changing to your color preference. Red was Mi-Hi’s, yours on the other hand is blue. This is a good thing. I can tell you now I do not know what it does, none of us do. Now you know though…Krystal you are the key to keeping our boy safe.” I told her.Looking at the Lotus Brace, Krystal’s face had a serious expression on it as she nodded to me.Goodness gracious. Damian what were you thinking?Hyosung’s POVThat birthday breakfast was amazing. Girls Generation and f(x) were alright in my book, even if some of them were trying to take my man away from me. All of us grew together, celebrating Yuri’s birthday, then Hana’s and Sooyoung’s. It was a lot of parties, food, and kind of just understanding each other.Well….understanding kinda being maybe me…kind of dominating the other girls in a naughty time sort of way, especially Tiffany.I could understand the allure of that girl now to Damian. She wasn’t super curvy like me, but had fat in the right places. Also her tiny pink nipples, soft skin, and those moans…mmm, so much to play with.These girls were each delicious in their own way. I did wonder though how many of them Damian got to. Hopefully when he woke up, he might be willing to share with me.“Hyosung!” I heard someone call out.Turning around, I saw the birthday girl herself run towards me pretty quickly.Crashing into me, I pushed my arms forward to catch the girl.“Woahhhh Taeyeon. What’s the rush?” I asked her.Looking at the smaller girl, I realized, she was dressed quite damn nice. She was wearing a pretty sexy dress that I hadn’t seen before.“Sorry…I wanted your opinion. Does this look alright?” Taeyeon asked nervously.Now I get it. She wanted to look nice for her little one on one time with Damian.“Tae. Holy crap you look freakin amazing. You look more than alright girl. “ I said .She breathed a sigh of relief and gave me quite a pretty smile as a thank you.“Hyosung…can I ask you a question?” she asked me, pausing for a sec.“Sure, what’s up?” I replied.“Damian….what was he like when he met you.” Tae asked.Oh god, this might be my favorite question of all time.Motioning her to sit down with me, I closed my eyes, and I felt that smile form on my lips.“He was shy, very quiet, kept to himself a lot. He was very loyal to us though, never left our sides.” I stated.I kept thinking back, remembering how I fell head over heels for that man.“But…he was strong. When we had our problems, most days we didn’t even need to tell him what they were. He held us, made us feel the safest we ever did in our lives. Even if he didn’t speak, his actions showed us he had the best intentions for us.” I said.“He didn’t speak?” Taeyeon questioned.I shook my head no.“We got him too eventually. When we had him, he wasn’t fragile, more like his heart was covered in stone. Sunhwa and I brought out his ability to physically love people. Hana his sense of humor, and Songie well…she got him to at least believe that love could be out there for him again.” I told her.I opened my eyes and looked over at Taeyeon who had an adorable thinking look. The SNSD leader was known for being quite cutesy at times, this definitely was one of those times.“Ji Eun…what was her relationship with Damian anyways? She seems to know a lot about him too.” Taeyeon asked.“I thought you would never ask that. Believe it or not, Damian and Ji Eun dated for a short period of time.” I told her.Taeyeon’s eyes got big at that response. Haha, everyone freaked out a little when they find out Songie actually accomplished that feat.“Wait….what?” Taeyeon said.“Haha. Believe it or not, yes, he chose her over me. They both dated for a while, up until Damian had to leave us to take care of some business.” I said.Taeyeon sat there for a second, still in shock. I mean…hopefully everyone doesn’t keep reacting this way. It does annoy me that my best friend did get my man’s heart before I did.“Hyo…do you think I have a chance with him?” Taeyeon asked me.…Damn. Does every girl want him? Seriously? Well….I guess Taeyeon did fuck him before? So….well I’ll be nice.“Tae, if you want him, you have to get through a lot of people, including me. However… from what I heard, he seems to like you. If you want him, fight for it. “ I said, putting my hand on her shoulder.“Thanks.” She said with a sincere smile.I saw Taeyeon get up and run in her heels, probably going off to see my man.Let’s see what you got girl.Taeyeon’s POVI ran as quickly as I could to his room. I haven’t been able to spend much time there…especially with my schedule, however today I got him to myself.Krystal lately had been the one spending the most time with him, as well as Sulli since she was still on hiatus. The rest of us tried to get whatever time we could, talking with him, telling him what had been going on. None of us were really sure he could hear us, but we all still felt like he was still awake.Tiffany got to spend some one on one time with him just a few days ago. She was telling him how she was becoming such a fashionista and the Korean media world was finally realizing it and asking for her opinions. Her conversations always started pretty happy, but she was still torn that Damian was just lying there without responding to her.I will admit though…I have my moments too. In my heart though I knew that he wanted me to try my best to be happy, no matter what, just some days I couldn’t imagine that without him.I was whipped pretty bad, a man like that stole my heart and honestly I wanted him to. When I kissed him and the world saw it…to be honest I didn’t care about what others thought for once. I got out of my own head and wanted someone I might not be able to have. However, if I never took a risk…what is the point of this life I was living?I was the leader of one of the largest groups in not only South Korea, but the world was watching us. But one thing I felt I could never have was a normal everyday relationship, you know, the non-friendship kind. Maybe just this once…the answer to that problem would be in front of me.I felt my heart race as I approached the door. Even unconscious, he still had that effect on me.“You know Mister Cross, I don’t know why I even try to look pretty for you when you can’t even see it.” I said out loud and laughing a little.Walking over to his bed side, I sat down in the chair I had grown pretty comfortable with during these talks.Holding his hand, I felt my goosebumps come back in full force. Sending shivers down my spine. I really did miss this feeling that he gave me.“It’s my birthday today you know? I was hoping that you would have been up right now…to celebrate it.” I told him.I brushed my hands through his long hair, already knowing that I looked like a love sick puppy to anyone who might come in.“Jessi is doing fine now. She took some time to adjust being away from us, but Lucy’s plan is working. Nothing bad has happened to us so far.” I told him.For the first time in a while, I had a hard time finding the words to say to him.I don’t know whether it’s just the fact I haven’t seen him for a while or what…but I felt weird.“Oh…you know Seohyun wrote a song for our new TaeTiSeo album? It’s called Only You. I think she has started to have a little crush on you too. But she told me and Fany that the song put all of our emotions together…how we felt at that moment about someone we loved.”I started humming the melody for him. Then I found myself singing the chorus.You are everything I’ve been looking for nae gyeoteul jikyeojullae?

(You are everything I’ve been looking for, will you protect me?)

Neoui sarang neoran saram hamkkehan sunganbuteo

(The moment I was with you and your love)

Baraejin gieoge apeumi ondaedo

(Even if pain from the faded past comes)

Eonjena neoegeman ttwineun nae maeumeul jeonhae jul geoya

(I will always tell you my heart that only beats toward you)You, You, You, Only for You, You, You…

“It’s really pretty isn’t it?” I asked him.I started stroking his cheek, and I felt some of the sadness I had been able to keep in for so long well up in me.“The first time we all sang that song together in the studio…we cried. Especially Tiffany, we all miss you so much. You became our rock and we became so…addicted to you like an amazing drug.” I told him.I put his left hand on my chest, telling him all the things I couldn’t before.“You feel my heart beat? It’s going at a million miles a second just being near you. I never can explain the way you make me feel. It’s embarrassing to admit that at 27 I don’t know how to explain how much I …love you. How every time I see you I can’t help but smile and believe that everything will turn out better than okay. You make me believe in the extraordinary…” I told him.This time, I kissed him on the lips, with as much emotion as I could. I didn’t break contact for a few seconds, wanting to savor what I could.I was left breathless, even if he couldn’t kiss me back at the moment.“I remember…the first time you kissed me. It was so passionate and I didn’t quite understand it at the time. Everything about it though made my head spin and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.” I told him out loud.I kept looking at his face…some sign he was able to hear me. Nothing, again just no response to me.I didn’t know how much longer I could wait for him to get up. I could feel my heart breaking little by little every day.I could my tears trying to escape….I’m such a wuss sometimes.“One more song okay? Asuna told me it was your favorite. Even if it’s my birthday, let me sing to you.” I said.I cleared my throat the best I could, singing a song that I sang so much, this time to a person I loved.My Love, saranghaeyo, saranghaeyo

(My love, I love you, I love you)

keudae deutgo ittnayo

(Are you listening to me)I couldn’t continue. I stopped singing and just laid my head on his chest, crying.“Come back….please….” I told him.I broke down, knowing that he might not ever wake up. I was scared knowing that I couldn’t tell him how I felt truly about him.I felt someone touch the back of my head…stopping me in place as my head shot up and I looked to see who had touched me.….Long time no see my little Tae.I looked up…a pair of hazel eyes met mine, as well as a soft smile. The floodgates burst, I couldn’t see anymore but I know the wish I had in my heart this whole entire time was made real.“DAMIAN!” I cried.Thank you….whoever did this….thank you.
