‘We don't talk anymore

Like we used to do

We don't laugh anymore

What was all of it for?

Oh, we don't talk anymore

Like we used to do’

She pouted at the music blasting from the other room. She sighed. Must be Mina~unnie. She thought to herself. Mina’s way of supporting Jimin, blasting off BTS music in their dorm.

She knew he made another cover of that popular song recently but it was with Jimin this time.

She heaved a deep sigh again. Her heart ached at how this song seems to be directed at her. We don’t talk anymore.

She looked at her phone. It had been silent for 2 weeks now. She hasn’t heard anything from him since that day.

This is what you asked for. She mentally scolded herself. She sighed. He indeed have literally followed what he had said that day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You’re kidding me, right?” he faked a laughter. She knew he was hoping she was joking but she wasn’t. She shook her head slowly.

She couldn’t help but look at him as he started chuckling. “You’re really bad at jokes,” he told her.

“Ani, I’m not joking,” she said slowly while shaking her head lightly. She knew he’ll react like this. She prepared for this.

“It’s not April Fools you know,” he continued denying what he just heard despite what she just said. She bit her bottom lip.

“Please tell me you’re not serious,” he begged. She still shook her head.

“Ani!” he said with conviction. “I’m never going to let that happen,” he continued. She closed her eyes. He was already half yelling.

She didn’t want to look at his eyes. She was sure he was in rage right now. But this was the only way she knew how to protect him. She didn’t want to hurt him.

A few minutes of silence prevailed. She knew he was thinking things through. She wanted to look at him but she knew that looking at him would only make her take her words back.

“Arasso, I’ll give you more time to think over these,” he stated. He grabbed both her hands. She couldn’t help but look at her hands being held by him.

“Please listen to you heart,” she slowly looked at him, at his eyes. She could see hurt in his eyes. Tzuyu~yah, you hurt him again. A tear fell from one of his eyes. She too was holding her tears back.

She closed her eyes as he closed their gap and gave her a kiss on her forehead before finally standing up and leaving her.

She looked around and smiled. They were in a foreign country, filming a music video for a planned comeback by the end of October.

Their recent comeback have ended and all of their promotional activities for the previous album also ended.

They’ve been busy with their debut promotions in Japan and she was overwhelmed with the warm welcome from the Japanese. They were grateful to be topping charts despite having just debuted in that country.

She should be happy for all the blessings they’ve been receiving. She breathed deeply and smiled while looking at the beautiful view, and it was not fake this time.

“Tzuyu~yah,” she turned to see who just called her.

“Neh, unnie?” she responded. It was Jihyo.

“Gwenchana?” the older member asked. She nodded and tried to smile.

All her group members knew what she had been going through and they had been so kind and considerate of her.

There are just times when she spaces out and all of her members would understand her.

“Kaja?” it was now Mina who approached her. She nodded at the two older members. Both older members brought her to the filming site.

It was her turn to film her individual part. “Hwaiting!” the girls cheered her on.

“Hwaiting!” she cheered, feeling better. She was thankful to her members, her sisters from another mother.

“Jinjja~ Tzuyu is just so beautiful,” Jeongyeon complimented while looking at her takes beside the director.

“Of course! Lee Hyori~sunbaenim named Tzuyu the most beautiful idol!” Dahyun bragged, feeling confident.

She could feel her face heat up while hearing her other members talk. Everyone was present while one member was filming. It was their way to cheer on each other.

“Cut!” the director had finally announced. She breathed in deep then hopped her way to her members.

“Hoksi! That’s my friend!” Chaeyoung embraced Tzuyu as she reached them. She just smiled at her members, her shyness was evident with her blushing cheeks.

She dropped herself on her bed. It had been a long day. They finished at early morning already.

She looked to her side. Dahyun and Chaeyoung have both fallen asleep already. Little snores can be heard around the room. But sleep didn’t seem to have any plans of visiting her.

She sighed then stood up. She opened the balcony. She embraced herself and rubbed her arms as she felt the early morning breeze.

She looked at the scenery. It was indeed a beautiful country but she felt like there was something missing.

If the case was different, then she would have been homesick and looking for her mom’s cooking. Yet, she was looking for the South Korean wind. The country that she had already considered her home.

“So far away naegedo kkumi issdamyeon

Naraganeun kkumi issdamyeon

Don’t fall away, yea, naegedo kkumi issdamyeon

Naraganeun kkumi issdamyeon, oh, oh, oh”

She hummed to that certain song that he had sung which totally hit her. That country was far away. It would also be a lie if she would say that she didn’t miss him the most. ‘Coz he too was far away. So far away.

It’s been a month Tzuyu~yah! She mentally scolded herself, reminding herself that it had been a month since she made such a regretful decision. She may have seen him last week but it only hurt her. She sighed, couldn’t help but remember what he said that time before her group left for this country.

She opened the van’s door. She just arrived from school. She
