Aphrodite II
"Hmm hmm hmm~" Sana was humming while making her way to the restroom
Suddenly, she felt her hand got pulled and turned around.
"Sana"
She was shocked to see the person in front her, "M-Matthew"
"Finally, we meet again" he smiled
"Let go of my arm" she pulled away from his grip
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you"
"What are you doing here?" Sana asked
"Attending the graduation"
"For whom?"
"Jeong" he answered
"You mean, Jeongyeon?"
"Yes. Nayeon's boyfriend"
"Wait. You know Nayeon?" Sana raised her eyebrows
"Yes we met a few weeks ago. I just found out that you are her sister" said Matthew
"So all this time, he has been talking about his cousin and it's-"
"Me. I'm his cousin. Such a small world after all huh?" he chuckled
"Listen, I don't have any interest on seeing you again so-"
Matthew cut her words, "Please. I need to talk to you. To clear things up"
"What is it that you want to talk about huh? About how similar I am to your late wife? Listen Matthew, I am married."
"I know. I- can't you - I - oh gosh why am I stuttering?!" he ran his hand through his hair
"What do you want from me?" she asked
"I need someone to return my feelings! Can't you understand my situation? Try putting your feet into my shoes!"
"What does that have to do with me?!"
"Because you're the only person that makes me smile. You make me to forget about my past.
Everytime I see you, I have the feeling to move on, to remove the sadness in me"
"Look, I feel pity and sincerely sorry to you about your loss. Truly, I am. But I don't think that I can return your feelings"
"Just for once, Sana. Please. You remind me of Somin. I don't care if you might think that I am crazy or what but-"
"No Matthew. You are just confused" she said
"I just. I just need somebody to love" he sighed
Sana looked at him. She can see the sadness in his eyes. The tragic story that happened to his family, left a scar inside him.
"I don't wanna do this. But I hope you can stay away from me after this" she said.
Sana brought herself closer to him. Matthew then wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her into a hug. She did not even return the hug but just let the latter to hug her. She didn't know why she was doing it but she felt the kindness to fill the empty spot for him.
"Thank you, Sana" he said while still hugging her
"We shouldn't see each other anymore. If I am the reason that made you to recall about Somin and makes you feel happy, however this is still wrong. I have a family, Matthew. I have a wonderful husband, an active son and an upcoming child"
"I am very happy for you. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you so much, Sana" Matthew was still hugging her
"I think you should let me go now" she said
Suddenly, she heard a very familiar voice from afar.
"Sana.."
Sana turned her head and saw Tzuyu looking at them. She quickly pushed Matthew away.
"Tzuyu, I-"
"What is this? Why are you hugging my wife. Wait-" Tzuyu take a good look at Matthew
"Hey, aren't you that guy from the other day?" Tzuyu pointed his finger at Matthew and recalled the first time he met him.
Flashback
With Yoong in his arms, Tzuyu bid goodbye to Jihyo before entering the elevator. They went down to the ground floor and walked out. Suddenly, Tzuyu accidentally bumped onto a man by the shoulder.
Tzuyu turned around and bowed, "I'm sorry"
"It's okay it's okay. I'm sorry too I did not notice you. Have a good day!" the man bowed as well
"You too" Tzuyu smiled and walked away. Yoong waved at the man and that man waved back. End Of Flashback "You're that guy!" Tzuyu made his way to the both of them "Tzuyu, it's not like what you're thinking" Sana tried to stop him "So you're her husband? Nice to meet -" Matthew got punched in the face by Tzuyu "No it's not nice to meet someone who just hugged my wife!" Tzuyu threw another punch and this time it was a direct hit on his nose "Tzuyu!" "Is this the guy who bothered you all this time? Is this the Los Angeles guy that you were talking about?!" Tzuyu turned to look at Sana then changed his gaze back to Matthew who was holding his bleeding nose "Yes Tzuyu, but stop!" "Hey what's going on here?" Nayeon and Jeongyeon entered the alley "Hyung!" Jeongyeon ran to save Matthew but stopped as soon as he saw Tzuyu's angry face "Tzuyu hyung! What are you do
