The day after, Taeyeon open the cafe earlier than usual to clean and bake to cope up with the day that she closed it. 
Looking around the cafe reminds her of Tiffany. Every corner has Tiffany's touch imprinted. She's thinking of letting her go for them to fully stop hurting each other. 
She knows that if they insists of staying together, hurt instead of happiness will fill in their relationship. She loves her no doubt about it. But is love enough for them to survive the never ending ups and downs? Or will letting go will be the key for them. 
Taeyeon knew that she is still not fully healed from the tradegy. She is beyond okay and will never be okay until she can finally forgive herself about what happended. She knows it wasn't her fault but there is no one to be blamed besides her. 
Minutes later, the opening time of the cafe, Tiffany walks inside. She looks at her for a brief moment before continuing what she's doing.
Tiffany run to her and hug her like they haven't seen each other for a long time. Then she hear her sobbing. She wanted to hug her and tell her that it's okay but she can't, knowing that she will just fool herself. They are not okay. She is not okay. 
"If you will just cry, you can go now" A cold voice that send chills to Tiffany. Tiffany look at her like she's thinking if she's dreaming. 
That is not Taeyeon, she thought. 
The Taeyeon she knew will try to make her feel better, will try to stop her from crying and the Taeyeon she knew will just throw her arms around her for comfort. 
"Tae" Tiffany calls her but Taeyeon didn't even bother looking at her. 
The sudden change on Taeyeon after the night Nickhun talked to her really scared her. It feels like she is slowly losing Taeyeon. 
It was a quiet day at the Cafe. Not because there are no customers but the two in-charge are not talking to each other as they makes their selves busy with their own task. 
Taeyeon at the kitchen and Tiffany at the counter. 
"Uhm. Excuse me. I think you gave me the wrong drink. I ordered black tea lemonade but you gave me a black coffee" a customer return
Tiffany is not her usual self with a lot going on in her mind "I'm so sorry. Let me make you the black coffee and you can keep the first one. My fault" she bows and quickly fix a black coffee for the customer. 
After 3 minutes Tiffany him his order, the right one "Here you go, sir. Again my apologies"
"Nah. No worries. It's okay as long as you acknowledge your mistakes. Miss, I think you need some rest. You don't look okay" the customer told her before going out. 
It's not everyday that she makes mistakes like that. Her problem with Taeyeon and her worry about her dad didn't really help her. 
She wants to check on her dad but she can't leave Taeyeon at the same time. Tiffany is helpless. She doesn't know what to do. 
When Taeyeon return to the counter she saw Tiffany squatting on the floor with head low. She wanted to hug her bur she choose not to. 
Taeyeon is determine to push her away. The pain must stop, not just for her but also for Tiffany. One must sacrifice and the other one needs to accept. 
"Tiffany, rest at the office for a while. I'll take over here" Taeyeon speaks to her as she put some cookies and cake on the stand. 
Now she's calling her Tiffany that add up to what she's feeling.
Tiffany scoffed "So it was Tiffany now. Great. Just great" 
Taeyeon felt bad seeing doing that to her. But that is the only thing she could think of. 
"I'm sorry,Fany-ah"
Few minutes after, Taeyeon pass by her office. Outside she could hear Tiffany crying. Her heart can't bear knowing that she made her cry. 
Taeyeon is debating weather she's doing the right thing or not. With everything that is going on, whatever she decided to do will greatly hurt the other girl deeply. But she needed it. Taeyeon needs it to heal herself, that is what she believe. 
More than an hour later, Tiffany steps out of the office with swollen eyes with her coat on and carrying her bag. 
"I'm going home. I already asked Sunny to help you" Tiffany says before leaving the cafe. 
There is nothing that she can do and Taeyeon just sigh looking at her until she can no longer she her. 
Just like what Tiffany told her, Sunny arrived at the cafe few minutes later. 
"Okay. What did you to her AGAIN this time?" Sunny didn't beat around the bush as she angrily ask her upon arrving. 
Taeyeon look around. It was almost 6pm and she decided to close the cafe early. 
Now it was only the two of them and Taeyeon trust Sunny more than anyone. 
"Sunny, I want to end things with Tiffany"
"WHAT! But why?" Sunny ask in surprise. This is not what she expected to hear from her friend. 
Watching Tiffany and Taeyeon rekindle their relationship, she never expected Taeyeon to just suddenly give up and end everything.
They saw how she waited for 5 years for her to return. They saw her how she struggle keeping everything in place. They saw how she almost losses herself. 
"I am not who I am anymore. I am not fully healed. I will just continue hurting her it she stays with me" Taeyeon is frustrated. It was like she needed to choice between what she wants and what she needs.
Sunny had to think hard. She doesn't know what to say "Taeng, you've waited 5 years. You've been through a lot. You suffered more than anyone could think. You endure everything. Are you really sure you want to throw that away?"
"I want to be fully healed before I commit myself again. I want to trust myself again before I could trust her. Please Sunny, out of everybody it's you that I know will understand me" Taeyeon is desperate. 
"You know what, I beg to disagree. I don't understand you. You're being unfair to Tiffany. You didn't even think of the sacrifices that Tiffany did for you. She sacrifices a lot. She gave up her family, her life just to be with you. You don't see her pain because you're just thinking of your own pain. You didn't think of her. It was always you. You're being unfair and selfish, Taeyeon and that is not my friend" 
Sunny's words lingered in her mind. Thinking everything from the start. 
She is lost. 
Taeyeon is lost. 
"I hope you can close the store by yourself. I can't stand staying with you right now" Sunny says as she walk away leaving a distress Taeyeon alone at her cafe. 
Taeyeon quickly left her cafe and went to the place that she always go whenever she feels alone and sad.
