Chapter Sixty

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Their kiss ended when Stephanie suddenly pulled away from Taeyeon and sneezed into the empty space beside them.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Ah choo!”

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It was until then Taeyeon realized Stephanie only had a thin piece of fabric covering her body. Her usual coat was nowhere to be seen.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Yah!” Taeyeon quickly took off her coat and wrapped it around Stephanie. She pulled her girlfriend into her embrace and hugged her tightly. “You should at least wear a sweater or something before coming out of the house!” Taeyeon shot her a blaming glare, but Stephanie looked away and sulked. “Aish! Okay, okay! It’s not your fault, it’s my fault! I’m sorry for making you worry. Will you forgive me please?”

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Stephanie glared at Taeyeon fiercely before sticking her tongue out at her. She pushed Taeyeon’s arms away from her waist and stomped to the other corner.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Aish!” Taeyeon scratched her head in frustration. How could she forget that whatever Stephanie had done was all for the sake of her? She got to stop blaming her girl!

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Walking over to Stephanie, Taeyeon wrapped her arms around her waist from behind and rested her chin on Stephanie’s shoulder.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Phanie-ah~~~ I’m sorweee!” Taeyeon snuggled her nose against the nook of Stephanie’s neck as she apologized with aegyo. “Will you forgive me pweaseeee?”

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Yah! You’re giving me goosebump!” Stephanie slapped Taeyeon’s arm and reprimanded. Although that was what she said, the curve on the corner of her lips betrayed her feeling.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And Taeyeon saw it obviously.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Ppanie! Ppanie! Will you forgive Taetae pweaseee?” Taeyeon jumped up and down with her arms still embracing Stephanie’s waist. “Pweause? Pweaseee? Pweaseeeeee?”

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Yah!” Stephanie spun around and held Taeyeon down by pressing her palms on the latter’s shoulders. “Stop!”

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Taeyeon stopped obediently and looked at her girlfriend with puppy eyes.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“I’ll forgive you.” Taeyeon was about to clap her hands and celebrate when Stephanie suddenly added, “But! You got to promise me to be back home before sun sets everyday! Unless I’m with you.”

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Promise!” Taeyeon said with a wide grin on her face. She hugged Stephanie by her waist again and planted a light peck on her cheek. “Can we go in now? I’m freezinggggggg~~~” Taeyeon shivered tremendously as though there was an earthquake going on under her feet.

m style="font-size:14px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Stephanie knew that was an act however – seeing how thick her long-sleeves shirt was – but she couldn’t bear to see a shivering Taeyeon even if it was only half-true. Intertwining her hand with Taeyeon’s, Stephanie dragged Taeyeon back into their house quickly.

The two hunters and one blonde were sitting in the center of the training room with packets of snacks (brought by Sooyoung) stacked up in the middle of their circle. Sooyoung was busy explaining her discharge matters to both of her friends, but only one was paying attention to her while the other one – the blonde – had, not only her gaze, but her mind too, fixed on the snacks in front of her.

“… He said my body is in great shape, so he let me go.” Sooyoung shrugged, grabbing a few pieces of chips from the packet on her laps and shoved them into her mouth.

Yuri frowned upon seeing that. “Did he really say that? Or did you run away from the ward? And are you sure you can eat these snacks now?” If only there was an apple in her hand now, Yuri would have stuffed that healthy fruit into Sooyoung’s mouth and threw away all her junk foods.

Sooyoung rolled her eyes at Yuri, “Do I look like a liar to you?”

Yuri nodded without any hesitation, “I strongly believe you will do anything for food.”

“YAH––Ow!”

Sooyoung had already lifted her butt from the ground and was about to tackle Yuri when a piece of broken potato chips came out of nowhere and hit the corner of her eye. Her butt met the solid ground with a loud thud as she fell backwards. She rubbed the ‘injured’ spot and glared to her left.

It appeared that Jessica had secretly taken – in other word, stolen – a bag of potato chips from the pile of snacks and was trying to open it when the packet tore open suddenly due to her exerted force, causing one of the chips to fly away while some of them found their ways to Jessica’s lap and the ground before her.

Jessica flashed an awkward and embarrassed smile at them, “Sorry…” She quickly scooped up the chips on her legs and swept them back into the packet again. She didn’t expect the chips to fly out like this.

Yuri quickly leaned over and helped Jessica with the cleanup.

“Yah Jessica…” Sooyoung crawled over as well and helped the both of them. Except that the chips went into her mouth instead of the ripped package. “You know you can always ask for help if you can’t open that thing.”

Yuri rolled her eyes at Sooyoung’s behavior and slapped her hands away. “Will you ever stop eating for a second?”

“Yah!” Sooyoung was provoked by Yuri’s reaction. “You are in no position to say that to me!”

Yuri was annoyed by Sooyoung as well. “Well, tell me.” She folded her arms across her chest and returned a glare at her fellow hunter.

“You!” Sooyoung narrowed her eyes and pointed at her. “My love for foods is equivalent to your love for Jessica! As much as you can’t take your hands off her body, I can’t take my hands off my foods too! We are in the same situation just for you know, Miss Kwon!”

“YAH!” Yuri lost the battle instantly. Along with the quiet Jessica, they were blushing like a mad tomato. “You… you!” Yuri wanted to retaliate, but ‘you’ was the only word she could come out with her shocked mind now.

“Well, cat got your tongue?” She knew it alright?! Yuri was always soooooo passionate towards Jessica that she wasn’t even surprise to see them kissing earlier on––But she was kind of shock to see two people eating one another’s mouth inside the training room.

Sooyoung pulled the bottom of her eyelids and stuck out her tongue at Yuri.
