"R-really?" She started to act nervous and I smirked.
"Yeah." I turned the car and stopped at the side of the highway.
"Why did you stop?" I saw her hands clutching the arm rests.
"Ahh don't jump off topic Tiffany. What happens if I am blushing. What will you do?" I looked to her eye to eye and she was blushing.
"Can't answer? Now who's the one who's blushing?" I cupped her face with my hand not removing the smirk off my face.
I was leaning in and her eyes widened before she shut them.
I moved back and started laughing. She sure was cute!
"Wha?" She finally realized what I was doing and she covered her face. She also blushed in embarrassment.
"Sorry you're just adorable to tease." She looked up to me and glared.
I leaned in and pecked her on the cheek. Once I moved away her cheeks were bright red and her eyes were as wide as golf balls.
I started to car once again and started to drive.
"Have I got closer to you? An I unveiling the real you?" She placed her hand on my thigh and I hesitated to answer.
"Figure it out yourself. I can't give you answers." I didn't spare her a glance.
"Ok I will sleep then." She placed her earphones in her ears and slowly drifted off to sleep.
After a few hours I arrived at the place where I grew up. I arrived at the place where horrid events happened.
If you're wondering how I know the group if my house is all the way here in Jeonju, well they were I'm the sa-
Nah. I'll say it another time. Merong.
I got out of the car and moved to Tiffany's side. I opened the door and started to shake her.
"Yah wake up." I started to become more vicious as her facial expressions turned sour.
"5 minutes." She grumbled and turned her head the other way.
"YAH!" I shouted at her and she woke up.
"Aish Taeyeon!" She shouted at me and pouted.
"We're here." I left her and pulled out the luggages from the trunk.
She came and tried to grab her luggage but I refused.
"Just follow me."
I walked into the house and I noticed her mouth agape.
"Just how rich are your parents?" She suddenly said and by that word I dropped the luggages. One landed on my foot and I lost my balance.

"OMO! Taeyeon! How on earth did you fall?!" She pushed the luggage away and searched for any injuries.
"Tiffany. I just fell." I chuckled.
"Whatever. Where's the rest here? Where is your family?" She looked around.
"They aren't here anymore." I stood back up and clenched my jaw, hard.
"Oh so they're in the US or something?"
She really is dense huh?
"No they are gone." I picked up the luggages and made my way to my room.
I didn't dare to look back as I walked up the stairs. I placed the luggages down and looked around the room I haven't seen in years.
I heard footsteps shuffling closer to me and who else would it be besides Tiffany.
"I-i'm sorry. I didn't know." I turned to her and her head was facing down.
"Don't worry. Like what you said, you didn't know. This is the only room you can enter besides the necessary rooms like bathrooms, kitchens etc." I patted her head and she shot me a sad smile.
I went to go get the rest of the other luggages and when I came back I immediately dropped them.
"YAH! DON'T TOUCH THAT!" I scurried to her side and grabbed the object.
"Why it's cute!" She tried to pry it off my hands but I refused.
I counted the items inside and felt relieved they were all there.
"No! I hate losing each one!" I placed them back in their original place and scolded her.
"They are just peas. Peas in a pod. What's the big deal?" She pouted and searched around my room once again.
I saw her stop at one picture and a confused look was splattered all over her face.
"Th-that is." She kept pointing and when I saw the photo I immediately took it and threw it out the window.
"Don't mind that." I shrugged.
She only nodded.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did your family uhhh..." She played with her fingers unable to answer the question.
"They were murdered." I sighed and placed all my Dookongs on one shelf.
"O-oh. Ok. Thank you." She heaved out.
"Tomorrow we can go shopping, I will pay, just don't exceed. Let's also watch a movie." I smiled at the Dookongs.
"Ok that's fine with me! Just so you know. I shopping." She emphasized 'love' and I smiled.

"I had a feeling. I need to make a phone call so you can rest, roam around the house, anything besides walking into those rooms." She nodded and I made my way outside.
Once I was out of her sight I dialed a number.
"Hello? Taeyeon?"
"Uncle!"
"TAEYEON-AH! Are you here in Jeonju?"
"Yes uncle! How's the shop?"
"Very good. Stable as always. Are you staying there?"
"Yes uncle. No where else to stay. Besides, this house brings back memories."
"Are you alone now? Maybe I can visit you. I can also bring your cousins."
"Someone is with me actually."
"Really who?"
"A friend."
"Wow Taeyeon you're moving on from her aren't you?"
"I don't know."
"Well you don't bring people to your past places. You just shut them out. So this is a good sign."
"I will visit and bring her along."
"Do that I want to meet her."
"Wait. Your cousin, does he know where they are?"
"I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure we have to talk about this face to face so I can break the news to you."
"Ok uncle."
"Alright Taeyeon-ah. Bye!"
"Bye uncle."
Out of frustration I went back inside the room and didn't see Tiffany. Now where did that kid go?
All of a sudden I hear a booming voice ring through the room. I look around but she's not there. I look towards the source of the voice and see the bathroom door.
She must be taking a shower I thought. Wow I made my thoughts sound so dramatic.
I listen closely to what she's singing and immediately I recognize the song, Lost in Love. She really has a nice voice, it sounds exactly like Stephanie from SNSD.
Shrugging the thought off I crash down on my bed and think about them. I need to get her back. She can't be living with another family.
FLASHBACK:
Here we are, in front of their grave, mourning, crying, grieving. It's only us 3 now.
"Oppa..." I try to hug him but he pushed me away.
I look up at him in disbelief.
"What do you think you're doing? Why are you even here with us?" He holds back no longer.
"Oppa... I didn't know." I bow my head and my tears are flowing.
"Because of you they're dead." He faces the sky, trying to stop his tears.
"Oppa.. I didn't know her plan!" I clench my fists.
"You are so dense! How could you fall for someone like her! Because of her they're dead! Because of you! Your stupidness! How could we even call you our sibling?! You're probably working with her right? Since the company is now gone, we will get the inherits and the money? Your greed?" He pushed me back and caused me to stumble.
"I LOVED THEM! WHY WOULD I PLAN ON KILLING THEM?!" I shouted at him and he kept glaring.
"What do you say in this?" He pointed to the kneeling child in front of the grave.
"I love you Taeyeon-unnie. Please don't fight. You might be 18 and you're an adult. Also you too oppa. But I'm still underage of becoming an adult. What would happen to me? Will you keep me?" She looked up to us with red and puffy eyes.
"I will try my best to." I smile at her but a sudden blow to my face was given.
He slapped me.
"Never. I won't let her go with you. After what your 'lover' did. After what you caused our family. I would never trust you with her." He pushed me down and grabbed her.
I stayed there kneeling and crying. Tears formed in seconds and fell in seconds.
"I-i'm sorry." I hung my head.
I heard nothing but grass crumpled against their walking feet. I looked up and saw both of them walking and away from me.
She looked back to me and I mouthed.
"I will be fine, you should be fine too, I love you."
END OF FLASHBACK
"Taeyeon? Taeyeon-ah. Wake up." I grumbled and turned my back towards her.
"Yah wake up." She kept shaking me and I slowly opened my eyes.
"Are you ok? You were crying." She rubbed my eyes and I sat up.
I removed her hand from my face and rubbed my own tears away.
"It's nothing don't worry." I stood up and aimed to walk outside.
I opened the door and I heard her faintly say:
"When will you tell me it's everything and let me help you?"
