8. Tiffanys Birthday Par (2/2)

“O… oh… i… it’s okay.” Tiffany stuttered. Seriously, every word that came out from his mouth could melt her especially when those words directed to her.

Siwon gave her a sweet smile. Tiffany’s jaw slightly dropped when seeing his sweet smile that could kill her right now especially when he was the type of person who always looked serious and rarely smile. Sometimes, it made others wonder if he had a problem that caused him to be a lonely and desperate person.

Before walking away, Siwon took a look at Yuri. Yuri, who was also paying attention to Tiffany and Siwon, got slightly shocked when Siwon looked at her. Her eyes went bigger when their eyes met. Siwon walked away and Tiffany sat back on the chair.

“Wow!” Tiffany hove a deep sigh. “My heart is beating faster!”

Yuri was still wondering why Siwon looked at her. She did feel uneasy if he really liked her. She didn’t want to be in difficult situation where she could hurt Tiffany. She took a mineral water bottle and she gulped down the water to ease her minds.

“Somehow, I really wonder what Siwon feel towards Yuri.” Hyoyeon said her opinion boldly.

Yuri, who was still gulping down the water, choked when she heard what Hyoyeon said. She immediately put back the mineral water bottle on the table. She coughed continuously. “Yuri, are you okay?” Yoona looked at her with concerned face and patted her back to make her feel better.

“I… I’m okay,” Yuri replied after her cough stopped. She hove a few deep breathes. “What nonsense are you talking about?!” she said to Hyoyeon angrily.

“What nonsense?! I’m talking the truth. He keeps looking at you!” Hyoyeon emphasized.

“He didn’t look at me!” Yuri replied back.

“Hey, I’d see with my eyes…” Hyoyeon stopped after being given a deathly glare by Yuri as a sign to stop it even it’s the truth.

“Fany-ah, don’t take it to the heart.” Yuri said apologetically. Tiffany gave a force smile. “Anyways, don’t you want to invite him to your birthday party?”

“Invite him to my birthday party? Do you guys think it is okay?” Tiffany asked. She was really not sure if Siwon would come or not. She didn’t want Siwon feel like it was a burden for him to come and eventually he would find how annoyed she was.

“I don’t think it would be a problem for him. Just invite him!” Jessica agreed completely with that suggestion.

“He is still there!” Sunny pointed to Siwon who was not too far from them.

“Let’s go!” Sunny and Jessica pulled Tiffany’s arms to force her getting up immediately before Siwon walked away.

“Yes, yes. I’m going! Why are you so in rush?” Tiffany asked.

“Then, you want him to go first before talking to him? Let’s go. Hurry up!” Sunny and Jessica accompanied Tiffany going to Siwon. “Choi Siwon!” Sunny called loudly.

“Hey, why did you call him so loud?!” Tiffany hit Sunny’s arm.

“Hurry up, he is looking towards us, now.” Jessica and Sunny pushed Tiffany strongly towards Siwon. They smiled widely after that as they did it on purpose. Tiffany almost fell and Siwon held her arms to support her.

Tiffany stared at him with a bashful smile on her face. She was very happy with her first skinship with him. She immediately stabilized her position. Siwon looked at her in confusion. “I just want to invite you to my birthday party. It’s tonight.”

“Your birthday? Oh… I’ll come.” Siwon nodded while beaming at her.

“Really?” Tiffany looked at him. The sparkle could be seen in her eyes. Siwon nodded once again as a reply. “O… ok. Thanks!” Tiffany dragged Sunny and Jessica away as she couldn’t resist standing in front of Siwon. She was afraid that he would realize her cheeks which become red as time went by.

“It’s not that hard as you think, right?” Jessica asked Tiffany while smiling.

[Yuri’s P.O.V]

After school, Yoona and I go to the SBS buildings as we are asked to. This is our first time being here and it is really fascinating. The buildings are so large and tall. If we are lucky enough, we can meet a singer here. Oh, we really see a singer here! It is Lee Seunggi! Wow, he is very good-looking! But, it’s really a pity as we can only see him at a far distance.

We really hope to see the three girls who also get chosen in the top 5 list. At the discussing room, we can meet them. I do feel uneasy because all of them are very beautiful and I think it’s really hard to get chosen by 2SG as their partner. We also talk to each other. The first girl is Narsha. She is older 8 years from us and we also feel shocked at first because it is really unexpected. She looks much younger than she is supposed to.

The other two girls are Nicole and Hara. They are also best friend like me and Yoona. Oh, by the way, of course the three of them are also amazed at how I and Yoona are look-alike. Nicole is really good at English and she says she came from America and Hara is so funny, she likes to make a lame joke. Somehow, she looks funny and she also is fun to be around with.

The staffs tell us the further information about the first episode recording. They also tell us about the place of recording. For the first recording, the five of us will go to the beautiful and luxurious place like a dreaming place in fairy tales where usually everyone will think it is impossible. There are two luxurious villas like a castle. 2SG will stay at one of that villa and 2 final chosen girls will stay at another villa.

After confirming everyone agrees with the condition of the contract, we sign the contract. The first recording will be held tomorrow, ah~ it really makes us excited and nervous at the same time.

Tiffany’s birthday party was started at 8 o’clock. However, the girls had been with Tiffany 3 hours before the party to help her decorating everything to make it as pretty as possible. As time went by, there were more people coming and it became noisy merrily. The girls also changed their clothes to the elegant and beautiful dress. They looked very beautiful and more mature dressing like that.

Tiffany got a bunch of gifts but she still didn’t satisfy unless the one, who she was waiting for, came. She kept taking a glance at the entrance. She wondered if he would get her a gift and at the same she felt quite uneasy since he still didn’t make his appearance even the party had started an hour ago. However, she tried to stick the positive thought in her minds especially when he had said that he would come. She didn’t think he was the type of person who could break the promise.

“Fany-ah, don’t worry too much. He will come soon.” Sunny said after seeing Tiffany’s worried face.

“Why? Am I being too obvious?” Tiffany got slightly shocked at how Sunny knew her minds without talking to her.

“Yes, your expression shows everything.” Sunny laughed.

“However, I think you should worry too right now.” Tiffany smiled at Sunny. It seemed there was something behind that smile.

“Why?”

“I invite Wooyoung too. And, he should bring some companion with him too… Don’t you think so?

“What?!” Sunny asked in disbelief.

“Why?” Tiffany asked sarcastically. “Why shouldn’t I invite him? He is my cousin.”

“But, it still…” Sunny paused for a while. “Ah! I don’t care about it!” Sunny pouted her lips. Actually, she really cared about it. She did feel uneasy about those matters. She was okay if Wooyoung came, but his best friend is Sungmin. He also must come. She didn’t want to see his face.

Out of nowhere, Hyoyeon appeared behind them. “Did you guys say Wooyoung will come too?”

“Oh! You startled me!” Tiffany blurted out. “From where did you come?” she asked Hyoyeon in astonishment. “Yes, Wooyoung will come. Why?”

“Then, doesn’t that means Junho will come too?” Hyoyeon asked Tiffany with full of hope. She could see sparkle in Hyoyeon’s eyes.

“Em… maybe…” Tiffany nodded hesitantly as she was unsure. “Why?” she smirked as she already knew the answer for her question.

Hyoyeon controlled her expression. She cleaned her throat and made I-don’t-care expression. “Well… I’m just asking…”

“Oh~ look at these two eating!” Sunny pointed to Sooyoung and Yoona who were eating hungrily. “Yah! Are you two still a human? How can you put that much food into your stomach?! It looks like both of you didn’t eat for a year!”

“We are too hungry!” Sooyoung and Yoona replied at the same time while grinning.

Not too long after, Yonghwa came. “Happy Birthday!” Yonghwa sincerely congratulated Tiffany.

“Thanks!” Tiffany showed her eye-smile. “Where is my present?”

“I must bring the present too?” Yonghwa asked.

“No, I’m just kidding.” Tiffany replied.

“Yonghwa, you should bring a present for your sister-in-law!” Hyoyeon teased.

“What?” Yonghwa looked at Hyoyeon in confusion. He didn’t understand what Hyoyeon meant.

“Yah! Can’t you keep your mouth shut up?!” Tiffany hit Hyoyeon lightly. Tiffany looked back at Yonghwa. “Just mind her. Sometimes, she would be crazy.” Tiffany said to Yonghwa in whisper rate. Actually, Tiffany also agreed with Hyoyeon’s words. Anyways, it’s too early to say so especially when Seohyun was totally didn’t have any experience in love. If their relationship could progress well, the girls definitely would give their approval.

“Hey, I can hear you!” Hyoyeon informed.

Tiffany pretended to chuckle. “Anyways, you should keep asking for her forgiveness. She is there!” Tiffany pointed to Seohyun who was sitting on the chair. As expected, she won’t waste her precious time without doing anything. She was reading a book.

“Thanks!” Yonghwa smiled. He walked towards Seohyun.

Wooyoung also arrived and as expected, he came with Sungmin and Junho. As soon as Sunny saw Sungmin, she walked away and hanged out with other girls. However, Hyoyeon stayed at Tiffany’s side and she just stared at Junho. “Miyoung-ah, Happy Birthday!” Wooyoung said happily.

“Ahhh! Wooyoung!!!” Tiffany got angry because Wooyoung called her by her real name. Wooyoung chuckled seeing his cute cousin. Tiffany greeted Sungmin and Junho. “Hi, thanks for coming. Let bygones be bygones, okay?” Tiffany meant that she asked Junho and Sungmin to forget about their argument with Sunny.

“I’m okay with it. But, I don’t know how about him.” Junho pointed to Sungmin. Sungmin just gave a force smile. He didn’t have any problem with all the girls except Sunny.

Junho spotted Hyoyeon, who looked so quiet and he greeted her. “Hi, Hyoyeon!”

“H… hi!” Hyoyeon replied bashfully.

Tiffany chuckled when seeing Hyoyeon’s reaction when Junho greeted her. She didn’t expect that this girl, Kim Hyoyeon who always being down-to-earth, also had this side of her. “Since when did you become this shy?” Tiffany asked sarcastically. Hyoyeon gave her a deathly glare.

--------------

Yonghwa approached Seohyun who was into reading the book. “Here.” He offered her a drink.

Seohyun stopped reading for a while and she took a look at who was the person talking to her. Her mood changed a bit when she found out it was Yonghwa. Anyways, she didn’t reject his offer. “Thanks.” She replied coldly while taking the drink from his hand.

“Can I sit here?” Yonghwa pointed to the chair beside Seohyun.

“Why asking me? I’m not the owner of that chair.” Seohyun still replied coldly.

Anyways, Yonghwa found it was a good sign since she didn’t refuse it. He sat down on that chair. He didn’t have anything to do except staring at Seohyun who was reading the book. She looked so pure and innocent.

“Don’t you have manner?” Seohyun did feel uncomfortable when knowing Yonghwa was staring at her all the times.

“Ok, ok. I’m sorry. It’s just that I don’t have anything to do.” He said apologetically. “Ok, I’ll look away.” Yonghwa turned his body to other side.

“Then, why don’t you read book too?” Seohyun asked. Yongwa was slightly shocked when Seohyun asked that question. Did her anger have gone? He looked at her. He could see she was taking something out from her bag. It was a book. She gave it to him.

“A… b... book?” he took the book from Seohyun hesitantly. Actually, he didn’t hate book but when he tried to read one, he did feel sleepy.

“Why? Don’t you like reading book?” Seohyun asked after seeing Yonghwa’s reaction when she gave him a book.

“No! I really like it!” he emphasized his words and opened the book. Seohyun continued reading her book. Even Yonghwa’s eyes locked on the book, sometimes, he would steal a glance on Seohyun while smiling widely.

“Anyways, that doesn’t mean I forgive you.” Seohyun said coldly.

“Yes…” Yonghwa replied with a grin on his face. Even Seohyun had clarified she still didn’t forgive him, he still couldn’t help and being happy because at least she talked to him.

--------------

Tiffany and Wooyoung were having a conversation with each other. “Tiffany, are you close with Taeyeon?” Wooyoung asked while his eyes were locking on Taeyeon who was talking to someone else.

“Of course!” Tiffany emphasized her answer. “What type of question is this?” she looked at him in confusion.

“Nothing.” Wooyoung shook his head. “But, she looks beautiful tonight.”

“Who? Did you mean Taeyeon?” Tiffany thought there was something weird about Wooyoung’s behavior. “Hey, do you like her?” she smirked.

“O… of… course not!” Wooyoung slightly raised his voice.

Tiffany chuckled. “Why did you mad? I’m just asking!” However, she still didn’t believe that was the real answer from Wooyoung. “Should I call her?” she raised her eyebrows.

“What?”

Instead of waiting for Wooyoung’s reply, Tiffany just called Taeyeon. “Taeyeon-ah!”

“What are you doing?!” Wooyoung asked angrily while covering Tiffany’s mouth with his hand. He was afraid that Tiffany would tell nonsense things about him. Tiffany struggled with Wooyoung to put away Wooyoung’s hand from her mouth.

As expected, Taeyeon came to them when she heard Tiffany called her. “Yes?”

Wooyoung didn’t have any choice except letting go of Tiffany since it would just give rise on suspicion. Tiffany grinned before saying, “Nothing much. I just want to talk with you.” Tiffany approached Taeyeon and put her hand on Taeyeon’s shoulder. Wooyoung hove a relief sigh.

Finally, Tiffany got what she really wanted for her birthday. Siwon came to her. She felt much better now. She thought he won’t come. “I’m sorry for my late.” Siwon said apologetically.

“It’s okay,” Tiffany showed her eye-smile. He didn’t know that just with his appearance to her birthday, could make her happy.

“This is your present.” Siwon gave a small box to Tiffany. “I hope you like it.”

Tiffany took that box. “Thanks!” she exclaimed. She couldn’t describe how happy she was right now. She really didn’t expect that he would prepare a gift for her.

“Tiffany, what is it? Open it! I want to see!” Jessica said to Tiffany while smiling widely.

“Em… can I open it now?” Tiffany asked Siwon. Siwon gave a nod as a reply. Tiffany opened the box and she could see a shiny and heart-shaped necklace in that box. She took it out from the box. Tiffany observed it in amazement. She really liked that present.

“I try my best to find the best present. I really didn’t know what are the things that you like.” Siwon explained.

“No, I really like it!” Tiffany emphasized her words while beaming.

“Wow, I’m so envious at you. It’s really beautiful!” Jessica said.

“Then, why don’t you put it on Tiffany by yourself?” Yuri asked Siwon. This was the first time Yuri talked to Siwon. She didn’t know how those words came out from her mouth. Maybe it’s because she felt much relief when seeing Tiffany being happy because of Siwon. She still felt uneasy if Siwon liked her.

Tiffany gave Yuri a glare. She felt that it was still too early. She didn’t want Siwon felt annoyed at her.

Siwon stared at Yuri and Yuri also looked at him back. Her eyes were blinking faster when looking at him as she didn’t expect that he would gave a longer stare at her. However, his lips curled up before looking at Tiffany back. Yuri got very shocked because of the smile that was given by Siwon to her. He was really driving her crazy now. She really wondered what was the reason behind his unclear action towards her.

“I’ll put it on for you,” Siwon offered while smiling. Tiffany gave the necklace to Siwon. Then, she turned around. Siwon came closer and put the necklace on Tiffany.

Tiffany turned back her body towards Siwon. “Thanks!” she beamed at him.

Sungmin was on the way to the restroom. He opened the door of the male restroom and however, he stopped when he heard a suspicious conversation between two guys. The two guys didn’t realize that their conversation was being eavesdropping by Sungmin.

“Tonight, we must catch her after the party end.” A guy said.

“Please do it properly this time. Otherwise, our boss will kill us!” another guy replied.

Sunny who was also wanted to go to the restroom, saw Sungmin who was eavesdropping the conversation. She rolled her eyes. “Why did you always be where I am?!” she said to him angrily.

Sungmin looked at Sunny when he heard her loud voice. He frowned as a warning for her to keep her mouth shut up. He really wanted to know who was the person that the two guys wanted to catch.

“Hey, I think I heard someone’s voice. Go check it!” the guy said.

Sungmin’s eyes went bigger as they had been caught for hearing the conversation. He immediately ran towards Sunny and grabbed her wrist before dragging her away. “Hey, what are you doing?!” Sunny asked angrily. However, Sungmin just ignored her and pulling her to force her running away from that bad guys.

Then, he went to the left, at a corner. He pushed Sunny to the wall by holding her shoulders. Sunny’s eyes went bigger. He covered her mouth with his hand to keep her mouth silent. Sungmin took a glance for a few times at the guy who was chasing them to see if he was still looking for them. Sunny just stared at Sungmin anxiously. Her heart started pounding and her eyes were blinking faster than usual.

Sungmin took a last glance to make sure that guy was not looking for them anymore. After making sure, he hove a relief sigh and put away his hand from Sunny’s mouth. He took a look at Sunny whose eyes were still locking on him. The distance between their face was only a few inches away. They stared into each other’s eyes with pounding heart.
