I'm back BABYYYY. Also this is kinda rushed, methinks. 

It was tough for the girls. There would be pages upon pages of hardships if they were to write it down at that very instance.

Sana doesn’t understand how Tzuyu could smile in a situation like this. If she was her age she would have ran, ran far away enough to change her name and assimilate into a new culture. Yet she had the courage to stand up and go to the idol athletics competition. Well, Sana knows that JYP treats his artists fairly, from giving them education to psychologists, so she knew Tzuyu would be well equipped, it’s just that she couldn’t get it completely.

Tzuyu is stronger than she’ll ever be, she thinks.

Currently they were on a track, filming for the idol athletics event. Noise was a continuous input as numerous sunbaes and fans alike yelled back and forth at each other, it was also a great time to interact with other people, yet Sana had none of that.

Whilst others played Sana had kept quiet for the majority of the time. She only played with her members and went out of her spot once every so often. She had observed quite a few things though.

Down on the other side of the track was Apink’s Namjoo and BTOB, what they were doing was a little bit weird but hey, she couldn’t judge when she was known as the weird one in the group. Namjoo was on the ground, a jacket covering her whilst members of BTOB surrounded her figure with water bottles. It made a perfect outline and once they were done they bowed down, praying for god knows what reason.

May she rest in peace though.

Momo throughout the day has been falling asleep and many fans had noticed it, calling out to the blonde girl as her head hung low as she sat.

If she knew how crazy this event would be before she started she might have brought something of her own. She knew that Sojin from Nine Muses had brought a fanny pack full of chocolate and candy, giving it out to her members and anybody who asked.

As time went on it made some of her members go crazy. Nayeon was talking non-stop, as if she was given an unlimited supply of oxygen and she was making the best of the offer before it was gone. Then if she wasn’t talking then she was doing something else, something incredibly weird.

Currently the oldest member was sitting to the side, pretending to cook and eat thin air. She received a few looks from other idols, mainly Chaeyoung who was ten seconds away from slapping some sense back into her. The other members of Twice were sitting down in a crude circle, chatting amongst themselves with the occasional jump when the race’s trigger went off.

When the others were off in their own little world Sana was completely focused on the maknae. No matter how much Tzuyu smiles as she sits on the field playing with the other members she couldn’t help but think back to the recent scandal and how much her giant must have felt at the time.

Sana wanted to wrap her arms around her, to shelter her from the potential dangers lingering outside of her comfort.

It was her motherly instincts, one could say. Or maybe Tzuyu was just the best cuddle buddy in the world. She wouldn’t tell Mina that or else the Japanese girl would throw all of her belongings out onto the curb.

Maybe now was the time to strike. Shuffling forward on her , a technique she had learnt at the tender age of 2, she moved towards Tzuyu and wrapped her arms around her waist, chin resting on the tall maknae’s shoulder.

“Hm?” The Taiwanese girl was about to turn her head back, but was restricted in doing so as Sana’s grasp tightened.

“Nothing,” the squirrel muttered, her warm breath hitting against the youngest’s neck, “Just in the mood for cuddling.”

“Don’t you have Mina for that?”

“Hush, hush. Now it’s just SaTzu time.” Reaching up with her hand, she patted the girl’s hair down tenderly, going over and over without a care in the world.

What the Japanese girl didn’t know, was that behind her from afar was a girl, glaring daggers at the two with an ominous aura protruding from her.

“Sana-chan…”

Thirty minutes had passed and the older girl was still oblivious to the looks she was receiving. How could she pay attention to them though? Here in her arms was one of the most beautiful girls in existence- bar Mina- and she had all of the time and attention to herself. The gods had blessed her!  

Sana’s eyes were closed, she was focusing completely on the way that body molded against Tzuyu’s, how her warmth spread and filled her with comfort. How she felt like falling asleep, much like Momo who she believes is already ready for nap no.12.

Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea taking a nap. The others were awake and partying, they could capture the fans’ attention well enough for her to sneak in a couple of minutes.

With that decided the girl took in a deep breath and sighed, moving her head to rest directly on Tzuyu’s back, forehead nudging against her clothes. Perfect.

And shut down in 3… 2… 1…

Or so she thought. A small thud startled her, pulling her back from Tzuyu and into the world of piercing lights and screams. With eyes wide open, she looked to the right to find the culprit.

“Mina-chan, what’s wrong?” She mumbled, closing and rubbing her eyes to adjust to the sudden change in light. Tzuyu was already focusing on something else or maybe she was asleep as well.

"My shoulder hurts- I think it happened when I went to go for a run.”

“A run? But you weren’t a part of the tea-”

A finger was shoved against her lips to stop her from talking. With a huff she stared at her lover, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

Instead of replying Mina opted to turn around and show off her shoulders. “Help.”

With the roll of her eyes Sana complied, hands already  placed on her lover’s body with nimble fingers delving into the soft flash.

‘Tweet: Fanacc: Sana gave Mina a massage, Mina looks quite satisfied.’

“Are we done here?” Sana muttered energy being sapped out from her with each passing second.

“I guess so,” Mina mumbled, turning her head to look at her lover, “Fine. It’s okay, don’t worry. Thank you for your help. I’ll go to the others.”

“Mmmm-” Nodding off with heavy eyelids, she didn’t have the strength to give her girlfriend a farewell wave.

Well that’s the first time today she’s paid attention to me, Mina mused.

Sana was asleep as she sat straight, completely oblivious to her surroundings once more. Her cuddle buddy was off somewhere else, talking to Chaeyoung and giving her a piggy back ride, which resulted in the shorter girl to fall off and feel like she was dying.

The other members were interacting with other groups, as well as taking part in the sports events as much as they could, but they weren’t as great as the others.

(Better than 9muses, that’s for sure, but then again, the announcers told the stadium that they wouldn’t move from their spot and they received thunderous applause. They’re truly the winners of this situation.)

Separate from the group, Mina was to be found near the crew members who were setting up the equipment to get the next part of the event running - Archery. There stood by her was Jackson, whose mouth was running off at a speed that the silent girl couldn’t comprehend. All she could do was nod politely, her eyes darting back and forth from the got7 member to the crew still setting up.

“Then- then,” Jackson made huge gestures with his hands, “As I shot, it nearly hit the manager!”

“Uhuh,” Mina mumbled, eyes starting to scan the rest of the stadium, “You really practiced hard for this, huh?”

“Well, yeah! I mean, this event is important for the fans AND the idols! We get to interact with other groups and the fans get to support us all day! We get to show off our athletic prowess!”

“I think you’re more excited about interacting with other groups, aren’t you?”

“H-hey! Don’t accuse me like that! It’s not like i’m some predator!”

All the penguin could do was squint at the blonde haired boy, staring at him suspiciously as her head bobbed up and down, “Sound awfully suspicious, eh? Hm. Not like i’m concerned, anyways.”

“You’re not concerned about the almighty Jackson’s love life?”

“Nope.” With that her eyes continued to scan, the crew was nearly done with their preparations and off to the side were the groups talking and hanging out. Except for Twice, who were back into their original spots.

“What about your love life, then? Huh? I bet Mina-CHAN has something going on in her life!” Jackson stressed the suffix as his arms flailed about once more, “I wouldn’t be surprised if you already have a boyfriend!”

The more Jackson spoke the more the Japanese girl drifted off, his voice becoming a small whisper in her ear as her eyes finally landed on what was most important. Her Sana.

“A boyfriend?” She mumbled, body prepped to move to the love of her life until a coarse shout rang throughout the stadium.

“We’ll start archery now!”

Sana was broken from unconsciousness when she heard loud laughter ring throughout the entire stadium. Back snapped, she sat up straight and looked everywhere, hair whipping to and fro as she tried to find the source of the laughter.

Her search eventually came to an end as the laughter started to quieten down, it was the abysmal efforts of Jackson’s archery which was the cause of everyone’s laughter.

Jackson had shot at the target, but it went way off course, eventually finding itself stuck somewhere across the field. One by one the idols clapped, then the fans, and then the filming crew. Playing along, Jackson had bowed in all directions.

Eventually her lover came up, bow and arrows in hand as she walked gracefully into place.

‘When did she sign up for archery?’ Sana squinted, rubbing at her chin in thought, ‘Did she practice for this or what?’

A quick glance at the scoreboard said that Got7 and Twice weren’t doing too well, yet one person stood out in the group. Where Jackson, Mark and Dahyun hit under 5 points for each turn, Mina managed to hit 7s and 8s. She was the ace of the group.

As the girl stood in place, she knocked an arrow in and started to draw the string back. It pressed against her lips, and the black swan could feel as it trembled in her grasp. It was quite tough trying to hold for too long, so she released, the arrow flying through the air, whistling and hitting the target square on.

Cheers erupted from her team, their arms thrown in the air as Mina hit a 9.

She’s definitely carrying the team.

As Mina looked at the others she smiled, as if archery wasn’t a hard task.

She was at ease, she was perfection. Not a single hair was out of place and the whole entirety of Sana’s world was dazzled by those pearly whites.

That’s what she liked most about her lover and that was the second time that day that she paid attention to the black swan.

By the time filming had finished, everyone just wanted to go home. They had used the last of their energy to sprint to the vans, shoving their way in to get a seat and hopefully pressure the managers to drive as fast as they could. All of the members besides Mina didn’t pay much attention to the other, more so focusing on themselves and trying to stay awake.

Mina’s mind was in turmoil, she hadn’t had any Sana touches throughout the day besides the massage and that was barely enough for her liking. Her worries were shown clearly on her face, nose and eyebrows scrunched up as she muttered under her breath. The others, especially sana, didn’t take note of it.  

They were too tired and the moment that their bodies hit their bed they’d be gone for the night, no doubt about it.

So when they did arrive, all of the girls, except for Mina, stumbled out of the car, pushing and shoving so they could get to their bed the fastest.

“I’M DYING! I’M DYING! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!”

“HEY! DON’T HIT ME LIKE THAT!”

“Guys- kids- slow down- I’m too old for this.”

Mina kept it slow, taking her time as she followed behind the others, the whole entire day playing through her mind. Was there anything else besides the massage? She swore the other girl smile at her when she was doing archery. No, that can’t be. Sana was too busy cuddling with the maknae.

Scowling, she finally made her way into the house. The black swan made her way to her room, pushing the door so hard that it hit itself against the wall.

Thwack!

A squirrel was alert as she sat up from her Mina’s bed, staring at the intruder who dare interrupt her precious sleep (which had been interrupted one too many times today).

When the squirrel noticed who it was, she turned her head to the side, smiled and patted the space next to her.

When the younger girl made no attempt to move was when Sana gave the girl her full attention.

It was quite the sight.

Mina stood in front of the door to their room, chest and cheeks puffed out with arms crossed. She stared at her through narrowed lids, foot tapping against the ground in an obnoxious manner.

Never in her lifetime has she ever seen a penguin so jealous, nor has she seen one as cute as this.

“Ha- Hey Mina?” Sana stammered out, an awkward smile on her face, a normal reaction as she didn’t know how to deal with this current dilemma.

Mina was quiet in response, puffed cheeks expanding further  when she heard her girlfriend’s voice.

The room was about to fall back into a somewhat uneasy silence until Mina exhaled, foot planting down firmly onto the ground. It surprised Sana, who at the time was expecting her girlfriend to say something instead of giving her more of the silent treatment. Her back snapped straight, the top of her head immediately connecting with the top bunk.

Thwack!

“Ah-” Sana had to look through clouded eyes to stare at her lover, who made no reaction to her misfortune besides turning around.

In all honesty the penguin was trying to stifle her laughter, attempting to stop her shoulders from shaking as the scene of Sana hitting her head replayed in her mind. That was one for the books, and if only she had her camera then it would have been one for the laptop.

If Sana saw her now she’d know that her jealousy was slowly receding- but no- she had to hold onto it. Sana has to be punished for her wrongdoings!

Squaring her shoulders, she took in a loud deep breath and turned around once more, hair whipping across her face as she squinted at the older girl.

“You.”

“Me?”

“You.” She pointed at Sana.

“...Me?” Sana pointed at herself.

“YOU!”

“ME!?”

“You owe me.” Mina clicked her tongue and crossed her arms, keeping her eyes wandering everywhere besides the other person in the room.

“Owe you what?”

“Y-you know!”

“Know what?”

“S-stop playing games with me!” She huffed, ready to stamp the ground once more.

“Games? Like your Elsword?”

“No!”

Maybe this was payback from laughing at her when she hit her head.

“W-whatever!” Mina waved her hand in the air, “It’s fine! Not like I wanted you anyways. Hmph!”

She was seconds away from leaving the room when she felt arms wrap around her waist, warm breath hitting her skin.

“You know i’m kidding.” Sana mumbled, lips dangerously close to her neck. “The second you walked in here you reeked of jealousy.”

“J-jealousy? P-preposterous! Come back to me when you make a real claim!” She really wanted to run away right now, the thought of punishing Sana far from her mind. Mina squirmed, trying to move forward with her arms stretched out.

Freedom please come to me, I can’t deal with this.

“Mina-chan you’re quite cute when you’re like this.” Sana breathed out, her grasp on her lover far too strong for the other to escape. “I’m sorry.”

“How’s that supposed to help with anything? Tsk! Not like I cared or anything,” Mina snapped back.

A small peal of laughter left Sana as she started to walk backwards to the bed, pulling the penguin with her, who refused to move and was basically dead weight.

As Sana sat down, she pulled Mina onto her lap and pressed close to her as much as she could. “I mean it. I was- You know- Worried about our giant maknae.”

Guilt flashed across Mina’s face as she heard her words. Looking down, she fiddled with her fingers, “Yeah. I guess it was a little bit selfish to ask for some attention.”

“What? Nonsense! It’s just you’re strong, Mina. Emotionally and mentally. I thought I could leave you alone at least for a day.”

“My bad.”

“No it’s mine. I need to organise my time properly. You know you’re one of my top priorities, right?”

“Not your first?” Mina turned around on the squirrel’s lap to look at her, a small smile on her face.

“I mean-” and just like earlier on that day, Mina placed a finger on her lips.

“I get it. Let’s just go to sleep, alright?” Shuffling off of her lap, she laid down and pulled the older girl with her. In the end she was the smaller spoon, whilst Sana laid down with her back facing the wall.

“You did great out there, by the way. You outshined everyone in the whole entire stadium, my beautiful penguin.”

So. First update in 3 months, eh? School has been pretty tough, to be honest. I'm in my last year and anyone who lives in Vic would know how intense VCE is. 

This is for the people who requested 2na! I started writing this when the fan accounts for the Idol Athletics came out and I never really watched it in the end, so some of it is heresay. 

Also sorry that I used Tzuyu's situation to set up this fic.
