"Saida."

I like it. Fans put my name and Dahyun's name together, but couldn't stop at that. They put an "I" in there, and it sounds like "cider". Dahyun said it was to make the name sound refreshing, since we were both refreshing people. That was a cute interpretation.

Dahyun said that the fans gave us that name during Sixteen. I wasn't aware of that until she told me. I found that interesting; how early the name came around. At that time too, Dahyun and I were barely beginning to develop our friendship. I dislike how our friendship started. I got mad at Dahyun for missing a rehearsal. Initially, I was so upset at her. It felt like only Tzuyu and I cared about winning. But now, I keep thinking that maybe I was too harsh; she was in the hospital for her eye for crying out loud. I could tell that Dahyun hated that she disappointed me. She tried to make it up to me as best she could.

So, from that day on, she was always there for me. Always. And how could I not fall for that a little? When I needed it, she would be there to take my hands and reassure me. So, thanks to Dahyun's effort, we formed a friendship. Despite the rough beginning, we worked out. I guess fans liked that; the storylike origins of our friendship. So they gave us a name: Saida.

I immediately liked it when I first heard of it. It was cute. What a thing for fans to do, giving us a merged name like that. It made me feel like Dahyun and I were a merged unit; two people, who were one in mind and heart. Sounds kind of romantic if I put it that way.

Saida is more than just a name to me. It carries so much meaning. It holds memories of how our friendship came to be, how it developed, and what it is now. Actually, I think now, it holds the fact that Dahyun and I have something more than a friendship. We're like sisters, who are always there for each other. She's my support system, and I'm hers. And giving our relationship a name like that makes it feel that much more real. Whatever happens in the future, Saida will always be forever. It will always find ways to grow, through smiles, laughs, and tears.
