Hurried footsteps were heard, almost running in the hallway of a apartment building, looking for an elevator.

 

It didn't took seconds for Minatozaki Sana to find one, clicked the elevator open with her free hand while the other was holding a paper bag.

 

Ting.

 

The elevator opened.


 

It revealed someone who looks surprised to see her as she looks like she was being chased, but none the less bowed at Sana to greet.


 

Sana bowed back, just to hid her reddened cheeks out of embarrassment.


 

And the two stood inside the elevator. Both on each sides, keeping a distance.

 

And Sana couldn't help but check the girl she's with, her skin was distracting, pale and soft looking skin. She has sharp features, especially that eyes and jaw of hers. Cute and Cool looking. Sana didn't know there's such combination.

 

The Korean was wearing denim jacket and jeans with a black and white stripe shirt tucked in.

 

What mostly caught her attention was the rolled edge of the jeans, revealing a black and white stripe socks with a sunflower  printed on it, shoes whiter than the latter. And Sana couldn't help but smile at that, almost giggling at how cute the girl was wearing. Almost forgetting that she's about to receive a scold from her best friend for being late.



 

But Sana's thoughts were interrupted by a deep voice.


 

She blinked twice and then looked to the person on the other side. "Huh?" Sana uttered.







 

"I…" Kim Dahyun suddenly regretted asking, she didn't know that the girl would have those puppy looking eyes that's now staring at her innocently. She scratched her nape shyly. "I was asking what floor are you going" and she pointed the keys. She's suddenly conscious.



 

"Oh.." The foreign-looking girl averted her gaze out of embarrassment. "Four.."

 

And the Korean girl immediately pressed the fourth floor, and it was the only floor that was pressed.


 

Kim Dahyun looked down on the ground, not wanting to rudely look at the person beside her. The latter was standing in the other side, wearing a fitted black dress and heels, a paper bag on both hands, clenched. Her hair was up in a bun and she was wearing minimal make up. She looked so beautiful. So beautiful that Dahyun's suddenly wanting to fold herself as she was wearing the opposite as her. All flowery. Too different from how elegant the girl looks.













 

Sana slumped her back on the cold wall of the elevator. The Apartment building is not one of those expensive ones, but Momo stayed in this building because of the cheap price.

 

She let out a sigh. The day has been hard for her , she woke up late because of her night shift, almost missed her class and now hurrying because she's late for the party. She's spending New Year with her friends since their families are in Japan. She doesn't really need for things to be much more difficult than it already is,



 

And God must have been kidding her when the lights inside the elevator starts to blink on and off.





 

Then the elevator suddenly stopped, she almost stumbled because of her heels but she got to hold on something,




 

Or someone's arm.





 

Then the lights went off.




 

Sana screamed in fear, making the latter she was gripping for her dear life scream in surprise too. Startled.




 

Sana scooted closer on the girl's side, shamelessly gripping on the Korean's arm, almost clinging. It was dark, and Sana fears dark.


 

Heavy breathings were from Sana.



 

A stiff and awkward body from Dahyun.


 

Why is this girl clinging on me??? Dahyun asked herself, tho kinda awkward, she just let the girl cling on her arms, because maybe, maybe she's scared. Obviously.



 

"I..Am I going to die..?" Sana whispered. She doesn't know if she was asking the stranger she's clinging or was she talking to herself. Her eyes were closed, scared that she might see a ghost popping out right in front of her or that the elevator would fall out.





 

"Wha..I" Dahyun doesn't really know what to say, especially when she's pressed against the cold steel wall because of the girl's weight that was also pressing on to her side.



 

"I.. I'm sorry" Sana lowly stated, almost inaudible, but because of the silence, Dahyun could clearly hear it. "I'm just scared of the dark..and we're.. we're in elevator--"



 

"It's okay" The Korean answered, suddenly feeling a little more relaxed, dropping her stiff shoulders but still pressed between the wall and the latter. "If that's helps you to lessen your fear, it's understandable.." Dahyun reassured the girl despite being strangers to each other.


 

And it warmed Sana's heart. Despite of not knowing each other, the girl was trying to make her feel better. She was glad that she wasn't left alone when this happened, or she would be crying and freaking out right now.



 

Sana sighed, suddenly feeling a little relaxed. "Thank you…"



 

"Dahyun. That's my name" Dahyun smiles involuntarily, warmth spreading through her chest. "It's nothing really" she spoke, and it's still kinda awkward because she couldn't see the latter's face because of the darkness, but she could feel the hot breath of the latter near her sensitive ear, she almost shivered. She cleared . "I'm sure that the electricity just went off, it would probably come back in a minute." 



 

"I hope so.." The girl spoke, not noticing how close they were right now. "And uh, I'm Sana by the way" she let out a little giggle, maybe out of embarrassment of what she just did, or maybe she was shy for clinging on a stranger, but still, Dahyun found it cute that she could only let out a chuckle.



 

"They're probably fixing the electricity right now, the lights would come back in a minute.." Dahyun once again reassured as she noticed that the girl was still anxious and scared.


 

-----------
 

And maybe Dahyun's wrong.
 

It's been twenty minutes and they're still stuck on the elevator. Luckily, the electricity is back, now they're keeping distance after that moment of Sana clinging onto the Korean.

 

Dahyun was now sitting on the left side, back leaning against the wall, while Sana's pacing through the spaces while rubbing her temples in an attempt to calm down and gather her self as she tries to find a signal.


 

"Why?" Sana spoke, slumped her shoulders, eyes closed and frowning, "Why is this happening?"


 

"We're stuck here, so it would probably be hard to find a signal" Dahyun calmly spoke, not wanting to sound pressuring to the latter. And Sana gave up, decided to sit on the other side just few feet away from Dahyun, slumping her side against the wall.

 

The Korean noticed that Sana's dress were too short to cover her legs and so she took off the denim jacket she's wearing, reaching it to Sana without a word.


 

The Japanese looked at it for a second, and then looked at Dahyu. Noticing the hesitance, Dahyun just placed the denim jacket on top of the Japanese' legs. "Cover your legs" Dahyun looked away, suddenly shy to make eye contact,


 

And Sana couldn't help but chuckle, smiling too wide that it reached her eyes as she properly covered her legs with Dahyun's jacket. 


 

What a gentlewoman.. She thought


 

"Do you think they're aware that there's people in this elevator?" Sana asked in concern, and she watched how Dahyun's lips pursed.


 

"Probably" but then she looked up to find if there's cameras. "Oh God, there's no cameras, they won't probably see if there's someone here" she still sound calm, just wondering why there is no cameras.


 

"Does that mean we're in trouble?" Sana nervously asked, fear on her eyes.


 

"No, probably not. I'm sure your friend might have thought that you're trapped her since you informed that you're now here in this building" 


 

Sana snorted at that, but instantly covered as it sounded too unladylike for someone wearing a dress. "I doubt that, she's an airhead. She'd probably think I'm ditching her" she jests, and Dahyun chuckled at that. "How about you? Meeting anyone here?" She couldn't help but ask.


 

"I'm also invited for a New year's Eve Celebration. They're probably worried right now" Dahyun spoke in knowing tone. "I forgot to bring my phone, they're probably searching now" she tried not to laugh, especially in this kind of situation.


 

"I see.." Sana nodded.




 

Silence.




 

But Sana being Sana, who can't handle silence, once again spoke. Just anything that comes out from her mind. "I'm actually meeting someone.." and Dahyun turned her head to look at her,


 

"Like..?" Dahyun encourages her to continue.


 

"Like meeting.." she said, but then giggled realizing how it just made no sense on how she explained it, Dahyun became more confused when she starts to giggle. "I mean, meeting someone, you know?"


 

And Dahyun nodded, with mouth slightly apart, "Ah, I get it. A potential partner?",



 

"I don't know, maybe? Maybe not? She's a friend of my friend, she wanted to introduce her to me saying that I'd probably like her-"


 

"Wait..she? Her?" Dahyun asked in surprise, maybe surprised to know that Sana's interested with girls. She might look straight, but her hair was actually the only straight part of her.


 

Sana once again giggled. "Sorry, you must have beeen surprised. I'm gay" and Dahyun just looked at her, as if trying to process.


 

"Well, surprisingly, I am too" Dahyun chuckled at that, averting her gaze as she stared at the wall. She couldn't look Sana in the eyes, it feels like she was hypnotized. Too distracting. Too beautiful.


 

"I could tell" Sana confidently stated, got Dahyun's attention once again. "My gaydar says you're gay" and poke Dahyun's side.



 

What.



 

Both of them were startled at Sana's action. Why would she poke a stranger's side as if they're close enough for her to do so.



 

Dahyun cleared . "Maybe my outfit says it all" she nervously joked, trying to ignore the fact that she almost squeaked at the sudden poke, her blood starts to rush up her cheeks. She immediately covered her cheeks, acting like she's leaning onto it, with her elbows propped above her legs. A very...awkward position.


 

Embarrassing.


 

-------------

 

Forty minutes. Still stuck, that they started a conversation just to ignore the fact that there's no rescuers nor anyone who could help them.

 

"So you're telling me that you've been single for years now?" Sana asked in disbelief. Dahyun nodded with a scratch on her nape. She shouldn't have said that, now she's embarrassed once again in front of the person.


 

"I find that hard to believe." Sana chuckles, "Don't you have like secret admirers or anything?" Sana was mimicked Dahyun, elbow propped on top of her leg, cheek leaning against her hand as they sat across each other.


 

Dahyun laughed lightly. "I..I don't know?"


 

"I find that hard to believe, really" And it was genuine, Sana wouldn't really believe.  With that attractive face of the Korean? A cutie and gentlewoman? Dahyun must have been kidding her.

 

"You?" Dahyun changed the topic, cheeks visibly blushing. She's starting to think that Sana is intentionally asking things just to . And it's weird that she's comfortable towards the girl knowing they just met for almost just an hour now. Sana stared at her that she needed to clear once again, "I mean, you? You said you're single for a year now? I should be the one asking why you're still single" she tried to turn the tables, and Sana smiled at that, shaking her head.


 

"I'm tired of unsure relationships" Sana stated.


 

"You mean?"


 

"Umm, how do I explain this.." she sat properly, as if preparing to say something. "I'm an optimist. I always focus on the good sides of the people, the bright sides, that I just take every opportunity to meet a potential partner, to give them a chance but.." she sighed, putting a tight-lipped smile, "ended up hurting myself. You know, when you start to know them more, getting longer together, they start to change..those things you never expected they're capable of..they start doing it." And Dahyun nod, fully understood what she meant. "I got cheated on" she added.



 

"That's.." Dahyun tried to find words that won't actually hurt her, but Sana finished it herself.


 

"Heartbreaking, I know" but then her smile went wide once again. "But I moved on, already, long time ago" and she shrugged. *What I meant is, I'm being careful now"


 

"That's a good start" Dahyun agreed.




 

They stared at each other for a moment.


 

It was weird really, a good kind of weird that you feel comfortable with someone you just met. As ifyou already know them for years. Talking to them with ease. No judgement. No faking. It was just…great.






 

Will Sana meet someone like her? She hopes that the person she's about to meet after this unfortunate event would be as good as Dahyun,



 

Was she really hoping for someone like her?


 

Or was she hoping that it would just be Dahyun who she's about to meet?



 

God, she's feeling so dumb for starting to like someone she just knew. She already told herself that she's going to be more careful than before..

 

But here she is...





 

Dahyun averted her gaze, hearing something ringing. "I think it's your phone" she stated, and Sana was immediately snapped back from daydreaming, took her phone to check, and Dahyun was right.


 

Sana stood up and answered the call, then she heard her friend exclaimed 'OH MY GOD, SHE'S ALIVE!'

 

"I definitely am" Sana stated and rolled her eyes playfully.

 

"I'm afraid to ask where you are" Momo stated over the phone.


 

Sana sighed. "Take a guess"


 

"You're the one trapped in the elevator.." Momo sighed in defeat. "Not surprised"


 

Dahyun stood up too, watching Sana talking to someone.



 

Sana heard Momo talking to someone, confirming them that there's someone trapped inside the elevator. Probably the rescuers. And she also heard someone saying that she's probably not alone, and so her friend spoke to her.



 

"So you're not alone? Please tell me you're not with a creep" Momo whispered in concern.



 

"Nope, not at all. I'm with a cutie" Sana couldn't help but grin widely





 

"So it's a girl.." Momo sighed in relief.



 

"How..what made you say so?" Sana asked in surprise and amazement at the same time.


 

Momo rolled her eyes, "I know you, Sattang. You call every girls 'cutie', jeez"


 

"Well, that's true" Sana glanced at Dahyun, still grinning. "But she's a cutie cutie, Mo"

 

Dahyun doesn't know what to react nor to say. Sana watches her with a pair of glinting eyes, and Dahyun visibly gulps, clearly flustered by the sudden shift of atmosphere.

 

"They said it will take more minutes to fix but you'll probably get out there..with the uh..cutie" Momo stated

 

Sana burst into an airy laughter with she saw how Dahyun looked down her feet, pretending not to hear it. Dahyun is way way too cute.

 

"Mind telling me what's her name?" Momo asked.
 

"No" Sana simply answered.

 

"Look at this selfish , I just want to---hello? Sana, do you hear me?" And Sana stared at her phonescreen with a frown, Momo's voice would cut on and off. 

 

"What the..No, no way" She started to raised her hand to find some signal. But the call ended. "What the " she hissed when the call fully ended instead of bringing back the signal


 

She sighed and looked at the flustered Dahyun, then her smile went back immediately. "You look red" she teased, although she knows the reason why.


 

"It's.. It's just that.." and Dahyun met her gaze, she cleared . "Cold" 



 

And Sana's smile got wider. "Sure"


 

------------------
 

An hour now..
 

Still. Stuck.


 

Sana sighed. "How about we do something?"

 

"What?" Dahyun was startled at that sudden words.

 

The Japanese giggled. "I mean, do something while we're still here stuck, to avoid boredom, you know" she cheekily stated, she was trying not to giggle once again when she saw how Dahyun's cheeks went red again.


 

"What..What is it?" It felt dry when Dahyun spoke, throat feeling itchy


 

"Like 21 questions game" Sana exclaimed happily and she saw how Dahyun relaxed, sighed in relief.


 

"Yes, s-sure" Dahyun watched how Sana giggled like a kid in a Candy Store. "Are you going to ask first?"

 

"Of course" Sana grinned, thinking for a question. "If you had a time machine, would you go back in time or visit the future?" A good start.

 

And Dahyun couldn't help but let out a small smile. "I'd rather visit the future"

 

"Why not travel back in time?" Sana curiously asked.

 

"There's no use, I've already moved on from the past" The Korean shrugged, and Sana nodded, mouthing 'understandable'. "Would you rather have a home on the beach or in the mountains?"

 

"On the beach" Sana immediately answered.
 

"Why?" Dahyun asked.

 

"That would be two questions from you, Dahyun" Sana cheekily stated.

 

And Dahyun's mouth ajar in disbelief. "What..you asked two questions awhile ago" but Sana just giggled at her.

 

"You're got tricked" Cheeky, that is Sana, and Dahyun could only chuckle in amusement. "What always brings a smile to your face?"

 

Dahyun didn't even though for a second as she smiled and answered, "Chocolates"

 

Sana giggled loudly, "I..I thought you would answer something more than that." and she continued giggling.

 

"What was on your mind then?" Dahyun asked, clearly amused at Sana.

 

"Girls"

 

"Girls? I..I mean, that's.. Chocolates popped up on my head first" and she's getting shy once again, this might be one of the reasons why she's still single.

 

"God, you're so cute" and Sana was still giggling uncontrollably as if Dahyun was the cutest person she had ever met.

 

Dahyun cleared , trying to ignore the fact that Sana complimented her, "Which is more important, truth or happiness?" And that stopped Sana, got her thinking.

 

"Hmm, that's a good question" she looked at Dahyun and giggled, "I'll go with the truth" and Dahyun was about to ask why, but that might not count, but Sana continued. "I'd rather know the truth than be blinded with lies just for the happiness"


 

And Dahyun felt a bolt on her chest. If Sana's not the cutest human being she have ever met, then the world must be lying. She could feel the sincerity. Pure and just.. beautiful inside and out. But Dahyum shook her head, trying to get rid of her thoughts about the latter. No way she's catching feelings for someone she just met.
 

"How would be your ideal partner?" Sana asked as it's her turn.

 

"Umm.." Dahyun averted her gaze, because suddenly, looking at Sana, she actually has all the traits Dahyun likes. And with the personality. Damn it. "I...As long as my partner loves me.." it wasn't a lie at all, and she thinks that, that's the safest answer for her to say.

 

"You don't care about the looks?" Sana curiously asked, and Dahyun chuckled, no way she's going to get tricked again.

 

"That would be two questions, Sana" She mimicked the latter.

 

"Aww come on" Sana faked a whine, "I'm just curious" and pouted like it's the normal thing to show to someone she just met.


 

"You're unfair" Dahyun sighed in defeat. "As long as she has that bright smile and.." and her eyes met those light brown eyes of the Japanese, honey brown eyes. "Expressive eyes.."


 

But then she once again cleared when Sana kept staring at her, as if she was looking into her soul.

 

Why does Sana have to be so ideal?
 

And Dahyun shouldn't let her hope high, it's not like she's Sana's cup of tea. She probably prefer someone who looks formal, y, and elegant.

 

"If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?" Dahyun continued the game, just to avoid the sudden awkwardness she felt.

 

Sana pursed her lips for a second, thinking, but then she looked at Dahyun with a pair of glinting eyes. "I want to change my eyes to an expressive one, and probably a bright smile" she cheekily stated, and it was enough for Dahyun to choke on her own saliva.


 

She didn't just said the traits Dahyun was talking about, did she?

 

And Sana giggled, clearly teasing Dahyun. "What? Was it surprising?"


 

"You...stop teasing" Dahyun grumbled. For someone she just met, Sana's too comfortable on teasing her.

 

"What?" And Sana tilted her head a little to the side, still giggling. "I'm just answering the question."

 

"Sure" Dahyun playfully rolled her eyes, "but you already have those traits-" and then she stopped, realizing what she just said. And that might be a mistake as Sana's now smirking at her.


 

"Does that mean I passed as your ideal type?" She raised her eyebrows, still cheekily looking at her.





 

"I..umm.." Dahyun was obviously taken aback at how straightforward Sana is that she found herself froze, tongue tied in a knot,




 

Then Sana laughed, loudly, eyes formed in crescent moon, by how she acts right now is opposite to what she's wearing, but she's cute. Very. "I'm just kidding Dahyun. Unless?" And shamelessly winked at Dahyun as she once again giggled.


 

Dahyun could only laugh too, nervously, awkwardly, like how she is.


 

"Let's proceed" Sana cheekily said and sat properly after breaking down from laughing. She find Dahyun so cute, especially when flustered. "What's the weirdest nickname you've ever had?"


 

Dahyun sighed in relief, an easy question, but she found herself scratching her nape, shy. "Well, my friends call me this since they think I resemble it that much.." her words trailed for a second. Is she really going to say her embarrassing nickname? To someone she just met? In this elevator that they're trapped in? 


 

But Sana was looking at her in anticipation, so maybe she should really answer that. "It's...It's T--"






 

But she was interrupted by a knock on the elevator. "Sana?! Hello?! Please tell me you're in this elevator." Sana immediately reacted.




 

"Yes! Oh my god, you're taking so much time, you pig" Sana answered, facing the elevator as if she was really ij front of the person.




 

"Well, don't blame me. I'm only waiting for them and we're searching for you" Momo rolled her eyes, stepping back to let the rescuers open the elevator.












 

Sana faced Dahyun, handing back the denim jacket, "Thank you for saving me, Dahyun"




 

Dahyun's eyebrows furrowed more, "Saving? I..I don't think so" she lightly chuckled, "We're both stucked here, the only thing I did is letting you borrow my jacket-"



 

"And for accompanying me" Sana added, smiling widely, "Thank you for saving me from boredom then?" She slightly tilted her head, cutely, that Dahyun had to avert her gaze before she blush once again.



 

"It's nothing really, I enjoyed it too" Dahyun shyly admitted and looked at the ground for a second, remembering how her outfit's different from Sana's. Formal and Elegant.







 

"Dahyun?" 





 

And Dahyun looked up to meet Sana's hesitant eyes, 






 

A few seconds passed of them just looking at each other because neither of them seemed to want to say goodbye or was end this fast like this, no not like this. 



 

But then Sana  broke the gaze and leaned in for a hug.



 

She don't know why she did that.


 

But there's just something, that she's grateful about, of meeting Dahyun. Not just because of the unfortunate event they had but also how she's feeling so comfortable and at ease with Dahyun.



 

Dahyun didn't had the chance to react nor talk when Sana spoke once again. "Momo would probably be surprised that I'm stuck with a cutie here" Sana uttered as she let go of the hug, a hint of red on her cheeks.





 

Momo? Dahyun thought


 

It did ring a bell to her. No way she's talking about the Momo she knows.




 

"Momo?" Dahyun asked, a little confused.


 

"Yeah?" Sana shared a look of confusion.


 

"Do you mean Hirai Momo? No? Probably just the same name--"




 

"Wait, you know her?" Sana had to cover , shock is evident.






 

And they look at each other, as if they just found out a secret that is illegal to tell to the world.









 

Ting.




 

The elevator opened.





 

"Sana---what the..." Momo stopped on track, eyes shifted from her best friend Sana, and to her College friend, Kim Dahyun. "Tofu?!" Momo exclaimed in surprise.




 

"What?! Tofu? She…. she's the one you talked about..?" Sana was in total shock.





 

"Why...what" Dahyun was in confusion as she watched them watch her in surprise






 

Then a rescuer cleared his throat. "Misses, I'd appreciate if you get out from that elevator before you get stuck once again…"


 

-------------

 

"All along, you two were the ones that got stuck in the elevator and you guys were already talking like married couples, and no one bothered to say that to me?!" Momo hysterically spoke as they walked through Momo's apartment, where the party was.




 

"May I remind you that we were stuck and Dahyun forgot to brought her phone" Sana playfully rolled her eyes at Momo.




 

"Please, maybe you cut our call because you don't want to get interrupted-"



 

"Am not!" Sana whined in protest at her best friend, and Dahyun chuckled, silently listening at the two. She was smiling, both hands on her denim jacket's pockets. "I didn't even know she was the one you wanted to introduce to me" and Sana could feel the blood rushing through her cheeks as she glanced behind where Dahyun was, just following them. "You always mention her as "Tofu", how would I know Dahyun and Tofu are one"





 

"Have you seen her skin? God, you're naive" Momo faked a scoff at Sana's stupidity.




 

"I...I still didn't expect that. I thought you're going to introduce me to some bulky lesbian" Sana grumbled that it earned Momo a laugh.




 

Dahyun was taken aback at that 'bulky lesbians' because she is probably not one of them, and the fact that she's an inch shorter than Sana. God…




 

"Are you complaining--"



 

"No! Heck no" but then Sana realized how she acted that she needed to clear . "I mean, you know, I...I like cuties" 




 

"Obviously" Momo gave her a knowing look before she glanced at Dahyun. "Dahyun, I thought you're ditching, we called you also, but the phone's unattended. Chaeyoung thought you're missing or something, she was freaking out.." then she looked at Sana. "But then you were just actually stuck with this snake"




 

"I'm your best friend, how could you say that" Sana glared at Momo, but Dahyun flashed a smile.




 

"Yeah, we were stuck together, but we got a way to forget we were trapped there for a while" and Dahyun shyly took a glance at Sana who was now really blushing, smiling from ear to ear, failed to control it.




 

"Look at you, smitten with Dah--" but Momo's mouth got covered by Sana's hand




 

But there's nothing to deny. I mean how could she not? How was she not supposed to like someone who can talk to her without getting bored, who looks very invested spending the time with you, knowing that they're strangers.

 

Momo finally got rid of Sana's hand, showing a disgusted face, "New year is near, we should come inside now" and opened the door of her apartment.

 

------------------



 

Sana and Dahyun was apart for a while, greeting each other's friends,



 

But Dahyun's gaze would find away to look at Sana. And it's only her actually. There's a lot of people that has been glancing at the Japanese girl. Who wouldn't? She's mesmerizing wearing that black dress and beautiful smile. It's hard not to look at those twinkling eyes...


 

And then she was reminded at the fact that, there's no way Sana would take a liking at her. Sure they had a great conversation a the elevator, but now, it's different, she realized how such a social butterfly Sana is, have a lot of friends, have a lot of admirers, and beautiful.



 

She could only took a deep breathe and drink her cup of beer.






 

Everyone around Sana was enchanted by her charm and Dahyun was snapped back from daydreaming when she realized that Sana looked at her. Her lips formed a smirk and Dahyun's mouth went dry,




 

And now, Sana was leaving the group and walked towards Dahyun. 



 

Did she see me stare the whole time? She probably thought I was some sort of weird stalker?




 

Sana did notice it, as she was also sparing a glance at Dahyun, “Dahyun-ssi, aren’t you staring too much?” Sana giggles as she greet the Korean.



 

Dahyun showed a nervous smile as a reply. Suddenly, she can't talk nor move.







 

"I thought you're going to approach me first, turns out that I needed to approach first just to talk to you" and Sana sighed, looking like she really did expected that the Korean girl would approach her.





 

Sana is always honest about all that she feels. Transparent and sincere.





 

"We didn't have a proper introduction towards each other, So..." and Sana beamed, the brightest smile in front of Dahyun. She stretched her hand for a shake, "I'm Sana. Minatozaki Sana" 





 

Dahyun looked at the hand for a second, contemplating to shake it as her hands were sweaty and cold from nervousness, but as she looked up, Sana's eyes were anticipating, and so maybe, maybe, this meant something, and so she took the hand and shook it gently, got Sana's smile even brighter. "I'm Kim Dahyun. Tofu, that's what they call me" and both of them chuckled, still holding each other's hand









 

Then Sana spoke,


 

"If I get a second chance, I don’t wanna mess it up, Dahyun-ssi" Sana spoke with such confidence, so attractively confident in front of her. Dahyun could feel her stomach flipping, nervous, panicking, and just...melting. "I believe that we met for a reason. Maybe one of the destiny's plans?" She added, it was way too cheesy, but hell, she couldn't help but say those words in front of Dahyun.





 

"I.." Dahyun couldn't find a right word.





 

Sana let out a light chuckle at Dahyun being nervous. Cute and Nervous.







 

"Shouldn't this be the moment for you to ask me on a date?" She cheekily stated, never leaving Dahyun's sharp brown eyes.
She was trying to hold her giggle, especially when Dahyun's mouth opens and closes, too dumbfounded.


 

"I…" but Sana waited. No way she's letting this opportunity pass by. "You wanted me to have a date with you..?" She was unsure, couldn't believe that the latter is telling her about a date.





 

"Unless you ask me of course" Sana stated. 










 

"ING DO SOMETHING, KIM. THE !" They heard Momo shouting from a far, probably wathing them, both startled.








 

Dahyun's eyes went back to those light brown eyes that never left her..





 

And she gulped.




 

"Would you want to have a date with me?" It was too, too soft, too innocent, and cute, that Sana had to look down and giggle at that.








 

"OF COURSE, !" Chaeyoung was the one who interrupted that Dahyun had to sigh at them.





 

"Yes, Dahyun." And Sana lightly squeezed the hand of hers. "A definite yes.."







 

"THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A HAPPY NEW ING YEAR!" Momo cheered and the crowd screamed


 

----------------

 

Sana was on the balcony of her house. They held a celebration for another new new year. She was staring at the moonlight, smiling, loud voices and music were heard on the background.





 

Her gaze snapped to Dahyun, who's hands were place behind her back, smiling warmly at her, and Sana turned around, mindlessly stealing a soft peck.




 

"Why are you alone here?" Dahyun stated and looked at the view outside.




 

"I was waiting for you to follow" Sana uttered and wrapped her arms around Dahyun's neck, and Dahyun did the same, wrapping her arms around Sana's waist, pulling her closer.





 

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this” Dahyun said quietly, and Sana couldn't help but cup Dahyun’s cheeks with both her hands. 




 

“Used to what?”Sana softly spoke, a smile on her lips. 




 

“Being with you? I mean, we meet in such unexpected event. It was funny and cute" they both laughed at the memory together. "It still feels like a dream to finally got to touch you, hug you, stare at you, be with you and kiss you” Dahyun blushed as she said those last words, making Sana smile widely. 





 

Sana leaned closer to Dahyun’s face.


 

“Well, I guess I need to remind you everyday that this is real, and that I love you very much” Sana cheekily said before planting a soft kiss on Dahyun’s plump lips. Reminding her that this is indeed for real.




 

"I love you, Sana-chan.."





 

"And I love you, Dahyunie. Happy New year.."






 

When they're about to kiss,






 

Dahyun's phone vibrated, startling both of them.





 

She checked and found out that the caller was Chaeyoung, and so she answered. "Bro?"


 

"God, finally, I was searching for a signal." Chaeyoung groaned. "I'm... I'm still here on the pig's apartment, no, actually, I was about to go up there, fetch her and her friend but I'm stuck in this ing elevator. I should've known. I really should've known" she was groaning and grumbling. Sana and Dahyun couldn't help but laugh at their friend's unfortunate state.





 

"Are you alone, Chaeyoung?" It was Sana who asked.




 

"No, I'm with, uh, someone" she cleared .



 

Sana and Dahyun looked at each other in surprise. "A...girl?"


 

"Uhh, yes, I...why are you asking me this? Shouldn't... shouldn't you ask for help to save us" Chaeyoung was suddenly became a stuttering mess.







 

Sana looked at Dahyun and whispered, "Mina texted me awhile ago, she said she's already on Momo's apartment building…"





 

"Wait.." Dahyun stopped for a second, ignoring how Chaeyoung's asking if they could still hear her. "No way.." she spoke with amusement, almost laughing.





 

Sana covered as she laughed. "How about we ask her" she took the phone wth a cheeky smile. "Chaeyoung, do you perhaps know her name?" 





 

"I...why are you asking me that?" Chaeyoung asked in confusion, there were soft voice on the background, probably talking to Chaeyoung. "Her name is Mina. Why..?"






 

And Dahyun coughed from laughing and choking on her own saliva.





 

"I told you" Sana stated with giggle.



 

"Told what? Wait? Why are you guys laughing?" Chaeyoung was still confused, weirded out by her friends.




 

"You know what, bro?" Dahyun talked. "I'm gonna end this call and enjoy your little date with your blind date"




 

"My what?! You...there's no way…Yah! Kim Dahyun! What do you--"




 

Call ended.





 

"And a HAPPY New Year to Son Chaeyoung" Dahyun stated with a grin, that Sana stifled another laugh.






 

"Look at that, we're supposed to introduce them to each other but ended up Destiny doing it" Sana spoke in amusement.




 

"Destiny sometimes do things weirdly" Dahyun added 




 

"You should call that romantic, Dahyunie.." Sana held both of Dahyun's hands. "Just like ours.."





 

"Right" Dahyun chuckled, a smile on her face, "That elevator must be disguising, huh? That must be the Destiny"






 

"Probably" and Sana pulled Dahyun out of the balcony. "Let's have our own Happy new year.."





 

"Why....Why does it sound like something else?"





 

"Because it's something else, Dahyunie.."




 

"Uhh, is it what I think it is?"




 

"Uhuh"



 

"But how about the guests?"




 

"They have their own Happy new year. They wouldn't mind. Do you mind?"




 

"No, not at all" 




 

"Great. Now show me what you got tonight"
