Author's Note: Whew. Glad to know you enjoyed that heavy TaengSic sequel, 'Baby, Maybe'. Now, here's a seriously old piece I wrote back in SSF. It was written in 2011. This is a drabble which I came up in the wee hours of the morning that time. :3 This is read both ways: Taeyeon's rant is read from top to bottom. Jessica's retort reads from bottom to top... It's meant to be read like TaengSic's conversation. Read from top to bottom and you have Taeyeon speaking. Read from bottom to top and you have Jessica speaking. :3 Enjoy!

I know, you’re frustrated with me.

I’m sorry…

I just wanted you to meet my gaze

But now you always looked away.

We were so close that our skins would touch,

And we were really the closest among the nine back then.

Yet we both ruined it all.

We had the best relationship anyone could wish for…

Do you still remember those youthful days?

We were both so young and carefree before.

Everyone used to love your fresh image.

That is what I missed of you these days.

I want to see your vibrant self again.

Questions of why and what ifs have plagued me.

Why did we change so much?

Why did we let each other go?

What if I stopped you from going?

What if you stopped me from accepting the role for the musical?

Would it have been different for the both of us?

Those hateful questions, I now resent…
