I'll Trade My Soul For You Taeyeon is a girl who has a long crush for her best friend. She has loved her since when she was still in college up until now. She didn’t have the courage to confess because she knew her best friend isn’t gay like her so she poured all of her feelings through the stories she uploaded in AFF. One day a reader named Tiffany Hwang entered her life. They started their relationship as a mere reader and writer. The relationship expanded vastly from being strangers to friends and finally best friends. However Tiffany is not an ordinary girl. She has a gift which allows her to predict future and read people’s mind. When Taeyeon finally acknowledged her feeling for her best friend has changed and shifted to her reader, Tiffany Hwang; the girl suddenly vanished and left her a goodbye message. The story will tell about how Taeyeon tried hard to find the reason behind Tiffany’s leaving and how she would do almost anything just to bring Tiffany back to her embrace. My Family, My Life, My Love, and My Special Reader.. My name is Taeyeon, full name is Kim Taeyeon but people usually call me Taeyeon or Taeng or Taengoo, well it actually depends on who is the one who calls me. I live a not so normal yet quite a pleasant live. I am 23 years old this year and yes I have finished and got my bachelor degree in engineering department last year. I am now working as one of the scientist in local oil company. I live with my parents and grandmother. I have 2 brothers, one is older while the other one is younger. One of them is still studying to achieve his master while the other one just graduated and finished his study from senior high school. “Taeyeon!!” My mother called me from downstairs. My mother has a high pitch voice which has the ability to ruin your hearing organs if you didn’t come to her as soon as you heard her call. “Yes, Mom! I’ll be right there in 5 minutes!!” I replied to my mother’s call with my not-so-loud voice. “You better be or you may be late for work!” My mother reminded me. I didn’t need to reply her protest again since I would be there soon anyway, right? If you haven’t noticed, my mother still treats me like a kid. She will make sure breakfast is ready and served on the table of dining room before all of us wake up; us refers to my brothers and me of course. My father usually wakes up as early as my mother since his office where he is working is quite far from our home and the traffic jam is not helping at all. That’s why my mother always wakes up at 5 am to prepare the breakfast for us, including our lovely Daddy. Mom will wrap Daddy’s breakfast so that he can enjoy his breakfast in car. Yep, we have a driver so Daddy won’t have to drive on his own. Well actually it’s not a ‘we’ since me and my siblings use motorcycle. My mother and father are such nice parents. They treat us equally and fairly. They give each of us a motorcycle to use, even the motorcycle’s brand are the same. The difference is only the color of our bike. Mine is blue, just like my favorite color while my youngest brother’s is black while the other one is white. Oh yeah I haven’t told you my brothers’ name. The older one is Jiwoong while the youngest one is Jinwoon. It feels similar, right? Sometimes I even call the wrong person since I keep forgetting their names. Tsk! What a bad sister I am. So here we are having breakfast together as usual in the dining room. “Taeyeon-ah, what time you will come home later?” My Mom asked me. “I don’t know, Mom. I think I have to work overtime. There’s oil leaking incident and me and others have to investigate it further.” I answered while chewing my bread. “Stop talking when you are eating! You will get chocked, you know!” My Mom said strictly. And have I told you how strict and fierce my Mom is when she is being serious. Geezz, you don’t even want to know about it. “Sorry, Mom.” I answered shortly. My mother nodded and turned to my brothers. “Then how about you, Jiwoong? When will you go back to your dorm? Have you done packing?” Yup! Jiwoong stayed in dorm near his university and he just finished his one month vacation at home. Soon he will be back to his dorm. I still miss him being here though. “Later this afternoon, Mom. Yup! I already packed everything, don’t worry.” Jiwoong answered before gulping his milk “Sighed. It surely feels fast huh? It’s just like yesterday you came home and now you already have to go back there again. Can’t you just live here, son?” My mother asked Jiwoong with a hint of sadness. I know my mother loves each of us very much that she still find it hard to separate with one of us. “I want to do that too, Mom but you know how far the distance between my university and our home is. It’s not possible to do that. Even if the road is as empty as graveyard, I will still need at least an hour to reach my campus.” Jiwoong disappointedly answered. Jiwoong is a mommy kid, well actually each of us is. It’s not our fault though. It’s just our mother loves us too much that she almost never let us do things on our own. “Yes I acknowledge that. It does just feel lonely here without you.” My mother’s comment made Jiwoong felt guiltier than before. “Stop saying that, Mom. I’ll be here on each weekends okay?” Jiwoong smiled and tried to cheer out mother up. Oh yes it works alright when a smile suddenly appeared on Mom’s face “Really?? Great! I will keep your promise then!” My mother smiled widely. “Jinwoon, you still have your holiday right? So have you applied to universities you want? Give me the bank account so I can send the registration fee this afternoon.” My mother talked to our maknae. “Of course, Mom. I will give you later after the breakfast, okay?” Jinwoon said. “Mom, I need to go now. I’m late already!’ I stood up and kissed my mother’s cheek. “I’ll see you around then. Jiwoong-ah, take care okay? I will miss you~” I kissed his cheek and ruffled his hair. “Jinwoon, be a good kid and stay at home! Don’t wander around too often! You will just send out parents to bankrupt later.” I said to my youngest brother who loves to play around too much. I seldom find him at home whenever I come home from work. “Be careful on driving, Tae. Bye!” My mother accompanied me to my bike. “Okay, Mom! Bye!” I put on my helmet and turned the gas backward, ready to go. ----------------------------------- "Tae, let's grab some lunch. You will grow shorter if you are too occupied with those strange liquids." Jessica, my workmate approached me. She worked in lab too just like me but we have difference job desk. "Yah! We need to investigate this further. Why the oil keeps leaking? What's wrong with its viscosity? Is there something wrong with the mud injection? And-" My explanation was cut by the scary blonde, especially when she is hungry. "Bla bla bla I don't care! We don't even get additional payment for skipping our lunch, right? So come on take that weird big eyeglasses off and accompany me to lunch." Sighed Jessica had used her demanding tone means I have to comply with her order. "Right. Just go to the canteen first. I'll just need to wrap this up. I will be there in 5 minutes, okay?" I put down my lab glasses which I always use to protect my eyes. I start gathering my documents and put it on my table neatly. "You better be or else!" Jessica threatened me again before slowly dissipating from my eyes. I followed precisely as Jessica ordered me. I took off my lab jacket and grabbed my purse, making sure that I've brought my wallet since I've promised Jessica that I would treat her lunch today. I past the hallway and headed to the canteen. From afar, I could alocated my blonde friend. I walked to the table for two and sat in front of her. "So, what do you want to order? Please just order adequately, don't be too much okay or I don't think I will last for another week." I pleaded her. "Hahaha.. Don't worry, Tae. I'm not greedy with food, remember? Be thankful I have you treated me lunch intead of shopping for clothes or bags." Jessica teased me. "Right. So what do you want? I will buy it for you." I offered to be the one who has to go and line up. "Just tuna sandwich and lemon tea ice, please." Jessica smiled at me. "Okay. Anything else?" I asked her. "Nope. That will be sufficient, thank you." Another smile appeared on her flawless face. Sighed if only she knew that I have a crush on her since we were highschool yet I was too coward to confess.
