As the party proceeds, Taeyeon just gets more unwell.

She make her way to the front lounge trying to get some fresh air..... since that's possibly the most quiet corner.

However, it isn't easy for her petite size to walk through the crowd.

 
Before she could even make it there, she got knocked down by some drunkard who doesn't even realise he knocked down someone. Taeyeon tried to get herself up on feet..... but her heels is giving her difficulty.

While she's struggling, a pair of hands helped her up.
 

"Komawoyo"

She thanked and looked up.

Taeyeon: It's you....

Baekhyun: Watch your step.

Taeyeon: (get up to her feet)... thanks.

But before Taeyeon could say another word, she found him walking away with a cigarette in his mouth.

"What is he thinking...?"

"This is a MBC party and he's smoking here??"

Though it's not a rare thing to do in this party.... but S.M has just tried to clear his name and now he did it again.

Taeyeon knew she can't just do nothing.

She walked back into the crowd until she found him at a corner.

Taeyeon approached him.

Taeyeon: Keep that stuff away.

Baekhyun: (lifted his head and found Taeyeon)

Taeyeon: (stepped closer and removed the stick from his mouth)

Baekhyun: ... what are you doing??

Taeyeon: Are you out of mind? Doing this here??

Baekhyun: ...what?

Taeyeon: You can do whatever you want in private. But this is a MBC event. Smoking here will only bring you more trouble.

Baekhyun: That's my problem. I know how to deal with my own life.

Taeyeon: Apparently you don't! Look at you. What have you become?

Baekhyun: .... (look away)

Without warnings, Taeyeon stretched her hands into Baekhyun's pocket...

Baekhyun: (shocked) what are you doing?!

Taeyeon: Don't be foolish. This stuff damage your voice.  

She took out all the cigarettes from his pockets, and dumped them into the bin.

Taeyeon: Look, I don't know what's got into you. But please don't risk what's most important to you.

Baekhyun: ....??

Taeyeon: Your voice. Protect it well if you still want to sing.

Baekhyun: (laugh coldly) Why do you even care?

Taeyeon: Of course I care.

Baekhyun: (laughs) .. aren't you afraid?

Taeyeon: ..afraid of what?

Baekhyun: Aren't you afraid I get the wrong idea?

Taeyeon: .......

Baekhyun: (step closer) Don't try to be good to me. What if I get the wrong idea and start bothering you again..?

Taeyeon ignore him and attempt to walk away.

But Baekhyun stop her by cornering her against the wall with his arms.

Baekhyun: That's possible you know.

Taeyeon: Don't be like this... you had too much drink.

Baekhyun: I'm sober... you know I'm a good drinker.

Taeyeon: Then good. Just watch yourself and don't get into trouble again.

Taeyeon tries to break free from Baekhyun's wall but she couldn't.

Baek doesn't allow her to.

Taeyeon: Let me go.

Baekhyun: What are you taking me for? Come and go as you wished? Who do you think you are...??

Taeyeon: Stop this, Baekhyun. You are not being yourself.

Baekhyun: (laugh) Don't act like you know me very well. 

Taeyeon: .... just let me go, please.

Baekhyun: (lean closer to tae) You said you never look at me as a man...

Taeyeon: ... .......

Baekhyun: ... or maybe I should do something to show you I'm not a kid anymore.

Taeyeon: (eyes widen) ....what are you trying to....?

Baekhyun move his arms down...

he wrap her waist with one hand, grab her neck with the other and he leaned his face forward...

"Oppa!!"

Miya's voice stopped him.

Miya: Oppa, Taeyeon sunbae... what are you doing?

Baekhyun: (let go his hands and look at tae with a smirk) Erm nothing. I was just having fun with my favourite noona.

Taeyeon: (look back with furrowed brows)

Miya: Having fun??

Baekhyun: (laughs) Just kidding. I was consulting Taeyeon sunbae about some things....

Miya: (doubted) Jinja?

Baekhyun: (walk over to Miya and place his arms around her) Of course.... If not, what else can we do?? Right, Taeyeon sunbae?

Taeyeon frozed.

She couldn't believe her ears. 
 

"What did he just do to her...?"

"What has he become....?"

"He is longer the same person she knew..."
 

A tear dripped down from Taeyeon's eyes.

She simply freezed at the spot where Baekhyun almost forced himself on her.

She just stood there as she watched the two walked away clinching onto each other.

Shortly, a grip held onto her hands... and followed by a pull away from the spot.

It's Jonghyun.

Jonghyun: Come with me!

Taeyeon: .....

Jonghyun pulled Taeyeon all the way through the crowd until they are totally out from the event venue. He turned to look at the girl who is now broken apart by what just happened. He heard every single word Baekhyun said to her. He saw whatever he did to her.

Jonghyun: (look at tae) Don't be hard on yourself any more. Just cry out if you want to...

Taeyeon: ..... (look up at Jonghyun)

Jonghyun: (nods)

Taeyeon could no longer hold her tears.

She let it out.

All her tears... all the pain.

It pains Jonghyun to see her like this. But he didn't say a word.

He knows all she needs now is nothing but a crying shoulder... 

Jonghyun step closer and bring her into his arms.

Just like this, she stayed in his arms and cried...

"It's painful.... it really is..."
