THREE SECOND GIRL  

 This story is based on the movie "A Millionaires first love" with members of the idol group Girls Generation replacing the two leads. This is viewed from Taeyeon's perspective.

 1… 2… 3… Three seconds. That’s how long it took for me to fall for her.

 “Sorry,” she squealed as she took off at top speed into the distance.

My arm still tingled from our collision. What’s happening? Who is she? Where is she going? I stood there for what seemed like hours, unable to move my body until I was forced back into reality by a faint voice.

“Hey Taeyeon!” someone yelled out from the distance.

I quickly snapped out of the trance. “Oh Yuri,” I yelled back.

“What’s wrong with you?“ said Yuri.

What is she on about? I thought to myself. She must have seen me standing out here staring at nothing and looking like an idiot. Way to go Taeyeon.

She pushed me and said “hurry up dork. We’re late for class.”

We run into class and everyone’s doing their usual thing messing around and not paying any attention whatsoever.

“Late again eh girls,” Mrs Hwang snarled looking at us with those creepy eyes of hers.
"I swear one of these days she’s going to come to our houses and murder us in our sleep," I muttered to Yuri as we walked to our seats. She giggled and nodded in agreement at my morbid sense of humor. I proceeded to sit down in one of the empty seat at the back of the room behind Yuri and Jessica.
“Now where was I, Oh yes! This is Yoona who has just moved down here. Please make her feel at home,” barked Mrs Hwang.

My vision was blinded momentarily as the sunlight hit her beautiful face. It was her! The girl I had bumped into earlier! The three second girl. Yoona. She's so gorgeous. To my surprise she walked up to the back and sat in the seat next to me.

“Hi,” she whispered softly.

I said nothing. I was too stunned to say anything.

“Hello, is anyone home?” she said and giggled.

I didn’t reply. I was too immersed in her beauty.

“You are very pretty,” she said smiling.

“Thanks,” I managed to squeal out. I was in complete disbelief with the statement she had just made.

“Hey I remember you! You’re the girl who bumped into me earlier aren’t you?” she said. She pouted a little. “That hurt!”

“Sure,” I replied with a small smile in return. “I would love too."

“It’s okay. Anyway, now that we're friends you should show me around!” she exclaimed while smiling at her little joke.

“Sure,” I replied, with a small smile emerging from my lips. “I would love too."

Over the next few months we grew closer. We were practically inseparable. You couldn’t find one of us without finding the other and with our friendship growing, so were my feelings for Yoona. I could only hope that she would feel the same way. There was something odd about her though. There was something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. She was hiding something. She had some sort of secret, I was absolutely positive but I had no clue as what she was hiding. This is where my heartbreak began.

“Where have you been I asked her?” She hadn’t been to school in a week and was missing consecutive days at random times.

“I’ve had a cold,” said Yoona.

“Are you okay?” I questioned her. “I’ve been worried sick.”

“Yes I’m fine so don’t worry about me okay,” she said as her face saddened.

I knew she was lying again. It was the same excuse that she had given me last time and today I would make it my mission to find out why.

I waited until school was finished and said goodbye to all of my friends. Then I prepared myself and followed her. She walked up the street and into town. Not surprisingly she made her way to the hospital and proceeded to go inside. I decided to follow just to be sure. It took me all but five seconds to lose her. Scrambling around I quickly attempted to find her again but to no avail. I walked about for 15 minutes then decided to give up and go home.

I started to walk out when all of a sudden I overheard a girl crying in the corridor. It was Yoona.

She glanced up and saw me standing there.

"Taeyeon," she said with tears dripping down her unbelievably perfect features onto an already tear drenched T-shirt.

"What's wrong?" I asked, stunned by the look engrossing her beautiful face.

"I'm dying Taeyeon. I have been suffering from a terminal illness and I don't have much time left," she said with a grim tone.

My heart almost died. The look on her face said it all. I didn't think it was this bad. "But you can't die! why? how is this possible?" I had started to shake uncontrollably. I ran to comfort her and within a second I had wrapped my arms around her body and squeezed like I was hanging on for dear life.

"Taeyeon, there's something I need to tell you," she whispered.

"I love you!" I blurted out. "I love you so much Yoona."

"I know," she replied. "I love you too Taeyeon."

We stayed there for hours embracing and crying. I didn't know what to do. I was happy that I had finally confronted her but at the same time my heart was dying because of her situation. From that day forth it was a constant battle against her illness. My day consisted of sitting next to her bedside comforting her, holding her, loving her, and as each day passed she became worse until the day came where she finally passed away.

I would always cherish the memories we shared and our short but meaningful time spent with one another and I know deep down in my heart, that I would always remember that three second girl.
