“Hey, Tzuyu!” Mina called from across the corridor.

Tzuyu felt relief rush through her the moment she saw Mina. She was worried that she was at the wrong entrance, or was at the wrong meeting point. She shouldn’t have, and she knew it, but for some reason Mina just made her feel so damn nervous.

“Hello, Mina unnie.” She said as calmly as possible with a smile, waiting for Mina to catch up with her.

As soon as they were face to face, both girls gawked at one another. It was as if they were both mesmerized with what they were seeing. They both had light make up on that made them look extra beautiful and fresh.
