Chapter 3 (1/1)

The long week of waiting and learning was finally over as the motorcycle appeared on Jonghyun's doorstep. While he was waiting for the Ducati's arrival, he had taken a crash course on riding motorcycles by a private instructor, and gotten his motorcycling license. As soon as the motorcycle arrived, he took it out to show Tiffany. "OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOD!!!" Tiffany squealed. She was jumping up and down, running towards it and stroked the motorcycle's leather seat. "It's sooooo beautiful!!!" "Let's go home!" Jonghyun said excitedly. "Yeah!... Wait. I still have cleaning duties...." Tiffany said gloomily. "It's okay, I can wait!" "Really?? Thank you SO much, Jonghyun!!" She gave him a quick hug. "I'll see you later, okay!"  -------------- Jonghyun rode a little bit slower than he had learned, because Tiffany was riding with him. And also because it was the closest that she had ever been to Jonghyun. Ever. Why didn't I think of buying this earlier? "Jonghyun?" Tiffany softly spoke into his ear, sending him shivers. He almost fell over. "Y-yeah..?" "Can you let me ride the bike now?" "Oh... Oh, oh yeah. Sure." As he slowed into a stop, Tiffany jumped off. "YEEEES! FINALLY!" She squealed. She was like a kid all over again, jumping up and down as Jonghyun handed her the driving gloves. As the both hopped on, Jonghyun made sure to leave Tiffany some space. She started to drive carefully, slowly, as if she was afraid. "You can drive faster, if you want." Jonghyun assured her. "No.. I like riding slow like this." Tiffany smiled, soaking in the slight breeze. With her long hair swaying in front of Jonghyun, he had to keep himself from caressing it, even though he really wanted to know how it felt between his fingers. "Come closer. I'm not stinky." He inched closer and closer, until he was able to hold onto the sides of her jacket. "No, silly, hold tighter!" She grabbed his arms and wrapped it around her hips. He felt a surge of ecstasy as he was practically hugging Tiffany. Out of all the moments that he would remember forever until he died, this would be one of the top 3. He couldn't hold it in anymore..... So he started singing.The most beautiful moment of my life is…

… When I loved you after meeting youNow I know that you’re the biggest gift of my life.(K.Will- Gift)Tiffany smiled, tempted to just close her eyes and feel everything. Everything, right then and there, just seemed so perfect.   ----------------- They'd taken a break at a hill nearby. TIffany had ridden the bike all the way out of town--- She didn't realize it until Jonghyun had pointed it out. And when they stopped to a small, grassy hill, she collapsed right on the ground, hugging it as if she had been flying for the past few hours. "Thank you so much Jonghyun." She whispered with her eyes shut tight. "This was the first time that I've felt things were perfect. It's all thanks to you." She sat up and smiled at him. Her eyesmile enchanted him, making his heart beat quicker, causing his face to turn red. "You're welcome." He said looking down, kicking the grass under him. "Come sit with me." She patted the ground beside her. "I wish we can do this everyday." She sighed. "We could... If you want." "Really!?" She exclaimed, hugging him tightly. "I love you!!" He couldn't help but blush and smile. The first "I love you" was said by Tiffany. After Tiffany let go of him, the next few minutes were spent in silence. A blissful one, as the warm wind gently lifts their hair, making it dance. "You know... This is the first time I've been this close to you." Jonghyun finally took out his courage and broke the silence. She turned to look at him, and gave it a thought. "You're right. Why is that? You're such a nice person!" She said happily, her eyesmile erupted once again. "Mmm..." He said, nodding. "Whenever we get together, it's always in a big group. Plus, you're always with Yonghwa... I guess you didn't really notice me until Yonghwa introduced me, right?" He threw in a joke, to ease up his awkward confession. "Hm. Yeah, I guess that's true. We should hang out more often then--- Just the two of us!" She nudged him with her shoulder, and proceded to lie down on the grass, with her arms tucked under her head, facing the bleeding sky. He followed, but turned to the side to look at Tiffany. "Won't Yonghwa get jealous?" "Why would he be jealous?" She turned around to look at him. They were lying in front of each other, smiling to ease the awkwardness. Yet they continued to stay in that position. "Because he likes you." He told her, even though it pained him. But she laughed, and shook her head. "No, no, you've got it wrong. He only sees me as a younger sister." "Then.. Is it okay if I like you?" He turned around, embarassed at his dumb confession. She sat up and turned him back, nudging him. "Why would you like me?""Because you're cool, and you're cute, and you're brighter than anyone I'd ever known." She smiled, and gave him a hug. "Of course you can like me. You know, I think I'm starting to like you too!" Yes, everything really was perfect.  ------------- Yonghwa strolled down the hallways, whistling a random tune. After he'd received his first "paycheck", he went to a store and bought a miniature motorcycle model. ---------"Hey, you think Tiffany will like his?" He asked Hongki, who was busying reading his hentai. "Motorcycle? You really think a girl like her would like that?" "Ay, you don't understand. She's not a normal girl. Nevermind, I'll just go ask Jonghyun." "Did you buy that with the cash from yesterday?" "Yeah. Fany's birthday is in a couple of days. I hope she's going to like this..." "Whatever man. Just ask her out already, stop being such a pussy." "I will, it'll be the second birthday present."-------------He really couldn't wait to talk to Tiffany, and see her reaction on the present. Today is the day that he would finally confess to Tiffany, and stop all the coy acting. He got anxious thinking about it. The thought was interrupted, however, when he saw Seohyun through the classroom window. She was writing something down, probably studying, even though it was lunch break. "Hey." He said, leaning on the window. She didn't hear him, though. "Helloooo, anybody there?" "OMG! It's Yonghwa talking to Seohyun!" A girl beside her had squealed. She looked up, he whistled to catch her attention. "Oh. Hi." She gave him a small smile. "How's hyung?" "He's back to normal. You know, flirting with the nurses.." He chuckled, knowing how true that was. "Oh man, even if he was dying, he still couldn't give up on his girls." His joke made Seohyun laugh. "OMG! He's laughing! OMG SHE'S LAUGHING!" Another girl had said. "OMG! They're not dating are they?!" "Ew, why would she date something like him? She's so much better than that." A guy had scowled. "Why?! He's soooo cute!!""But he's like, an idiot.""And you guys are a lot smarter than he is?" Seohyun turned her head to look at them. "Seriously, we're right beside you, do you think we're so stupid that we wouldn't understand you?" The group of kids shifted in their seats, going back to whatever they were doing previously. Yonghwa smiled at her tenacity. "Ouch, your words could've hurt someone." He said jokingly. "Aren't you insulted? They called you an idiot." "Nah, I'm used it. It's kinda true, anyways.""Whatever." She turned back to her work, tracking back to the place she had lost. Yonghwa could only shake his head and laugh. Somehow, her attitude had elicited a faint image of Krystal in his mind. He shook it off, not wanting to appear weak around so many people.  --------------- "Hey! Fany!" He ran to catch up to her. "What are you doing after school?""Oh.. Um.. I'm.. I have cleaning duties!" She said quickly. "Yeah. Sorry. Why?""Again? This is like the 3rd week you're doing it!""Yeah I know.. The teacher hates me, I swear." He laughed, it was something that happened to him quite frequently. "Okay then. I'll drive you home after that, then.""Um... Actually I have tutoring classes after that." "Oh.. Oh really? Okay... I'll see you tomorrow then, okay?" "Yeah. OK. See you tomorrow." She ran off towards her classroom. No matter what, today was going to be the day that Yonghwa will confess to Tiffany. A better idea struck him, like an epiphany. "Yess.." He snapped. "Wow, why didn't I think of that earlier?! This is SO much better!" Kids in the hallway looked at him like a lunatic, but he didn't care. He could only focus on making this confession perfect.  ----------------Jonghyun held onto Tiffany comfortably as she drove the motorcycle. As soon as she reached home, she jumped off and linked her arms with Jonghyun. "So, what's the surprise you're giving me??" Her eyes lighting up."Actually, your birthday present is in your house.""Huh? How did it get into my house?" "I talked to your parents.""What? They let you in my house? Impossible!" Tiffany exclaimed. "HOW?" "Why are you so surprised? They were really nice..." "Seriously? To you? Wow..... Whenever I brought guys home they never let them get past the gates!... You're amazing!" She laughed. Jonghyun felt proud. But it was quickly replaced by jealousy. "Wait.. How many guys did you bring home?" His expression went a little sour. "Oh not many, just Yong.. Oh." Tiffany stopped speaking, making the moment even more awkward. They just stared at each other, then erupted into laughter shortly after. "Sorry, Jonghyun. You seemed like such a carefree person that I didn't think you can get jealous." "Nah, I'm alright now." "You were jealous, weren't you!" She teased. "... Okay maybe just a bit." He admitted, scratching the back of his head. "Oh! That's so cute haha!" She skipped inside, pulling on Jonghyun's arm. "Come on! I want to see what my present is!" He stopped in front of her, blocking her when they were just a step away from the door. "Close your eyes. I'll bring the present out, so you just stay in the living room, okay? And don't peek!"Slowly, he made his way into the kitchen, taking out his guitar. He treaded quietly into the living room, and placed the guitar beside the sofa. He returned to the kitchen and grabbed the small strawberry cake, lighting the pink candles up. Taking one last deep breath, he composed himself and stepped out again, humming a small, familiar tune. The most beautiful moment of my life is…

… When I loved you after meeting you

Now I know that you’re the biggest gift of my life

We would chat

We would stroll

These were the happy moments because it was just two of us

We are two different persons

But we’re alike Tiffany's eyelids lifted themselves out of happiness. The eyesmile he loved so much, he made them appear. Pride took over him, and the confidence was back. He placed the cake on the table in front of her, and reached for his guitar. Standing in front of her and strumming the tune of the music, he continued to sing in his sweet, melodic voice that could melt even the cake. Tiffany stood up and took in a deep breath after Jonghyun was finished. "Oh my god..." He was glad to see that he had elicited tears in her eyes. "Thank you so much Jonghyun.... This is the greatest gift I've ever gotten from anyone." He was proud. But he  couldn't show that. "Really?""Yes!" She squealed, pulling him into a tight hug. "Really.. This is the first time someone sang me a song for my present. People would usually buy me expensive stuff, but it's so easy to grow tired of them. Thank you so much, Jonghyun. I'm really touched." He was hesitant at the tempation to wrap his arms around her waist, but decided to do so anyways. The embrace finally felt.. Complete.  --------------- Yonghwa stood outside of Tiffany's house, a large bouquet of flowers in hand. He drew in a deep breath, knowing if he postponed this any longer, something inside of him would surely break. "Okay... I can do this. It's just a present......." As he was approaching the gates, he heard laughter; Tiffany's, to be exact. He quickly hid the bouquet behind his back, and stood straight. He looked down to take one last deep breath of composure, and looked up; the thing he saw beside Tiffany, arms around her shoulder... It looked familiar. But he couldn't comprehend anything as his brain had completely blanked out. The surprise on the latter's, and TIffany's, face quickly brought him back to reality. "...Jonghyun..?" "Uh... Yong.." "Were you in.. Her house?" Jonghyun looked down; he didn't think of Yonghwa when he was with Tiffany. But now that he was in front of Yonghwa, he finally felt the realization hit him: He had stolen his best friend's love interest. "Yonghwa... What are you doing here?" Tiffany gathered her senses up quickly. "I.." He couldn't recover from the shock. "Jonghyun? Is that really you?" He just couldn't believe that the person he considered a brother had just stolen his love from him-- Betrayed him. Tiffany felt the tension between the two. She didn't know why Yonghwa was acting like this, but she decided to step up. "Yes, this is Jonghyun, Yonghwa. Why do you look like you've been hit? Why are you here?""What.. What were you guys doing in there..?" The question came out before his mind could process it. "We were celebrating my birthday.... It's today... Remember?""Are you two...""We're dating, Yonghwa. Sorry I couldn't tell you before, but we actually just got together recently."He didn't want to hear anymore. Shut up shut up shut up.. He jolted out of the couple's sight in an instant, the bouquet of flowers gripped tightly in his hands, but the petals were ripped out of their bodies. I can't believe he would do this to me.... Lee Jonghyun... You fucking bastard...
