It’s been about an hour since Tzuyu woke up. The two yeon bees are still making buzzing sounds as they are squabbling about what to have for breakfast. Sana slowly stirs awake from her slumber.

*cough cough*

‘You okay?’ Tzuyu asked coolly.

‘Oh how long have I been sleeping?’ Sana asked. She blushed upon realising that she has been lying on Tzuyu’s shoulder this entire time. 

‘Omo, does your shoulder hurt? I have been lying on it for so long. Sorry.’ Sana squealed.

‘It’s alright, are you hungry? I will go get us some food.’ Tzuyu said coolly.

‘Why not let me get it? You must be tired’

‘How bout you both go get it together’ Nayeon who was watching the whole situation whispered.

‘I want pancakes’ Jungyeon said.

‘No, bacon for breakfast and that is it’ Nayeon retorted.

The two bees began squabbling again.

‘Anyway, why not let’s get breakfast together?’ Tzuyu said to Sana coolly.

‘Good idea!’

The duo headed out of the cave together. Sana was still a little unstable from last night’s ordeal and she is clumsily tripping over the jungle vines and tree trunks. Tzuyu, unable to watch the situation any longer, held on to Sana’s hands and pulled her along.

Sana cheeks grew redder and redder but she did not say a thing.

~Sana’s POV~

Is it me or did Tzuyu became much less colder since last night? She seems less daunting now. And why am I blushing at almost everything that she is doing? Do I like her? No Sana! No! You can never ever fall for someone the likes of her. We are opposites and our families are enemies too! Okay I need to remain composed. We are here on a mission and we will not see each other again after this.

The two playful bees continued stalking the couple. By now, they have already eaten breakfast and Nayeon got her way of choosing bacon for breakfast after Jungyeon gave in to her aegyo. (Fun fact: Nayeon has never lost her breakfast choice before because Jungyeon is actually a softie for Nayeon’s aegyo).

‘Omo omo omo, these kids are so cute together. It’s too bad that their nature forbids them to be together or else this could have been a heavenly pair’ Nayeon said to Jungyeon with a tear in her eye.

‘Aww, don’t feel too sad for them. They are not even together yet. Anyway, you still have me. I will always be there for you.’ Jungyeon said with a proud smirk on her face.

‘Shoo. I don’t want two yeon anymore. Satzu or riot.’ Nayeon quibbled.

Jungyeon let out an exaggerated sigh as the two continued stalking Sana and Tzuyu.

By now, Sana and Tzuyu are deep in the jungle where there are tons are fruit trees everywhere. The duo gathered up fallen bananas, apples and peaches and headed back to the cave to make fruit salad.

After breakfast, they continued on their journey on the conquest to find Kim Dahyun.

‘You know, about last night, are you feeling better already?’ Tzuyu asked while they were walking towards a village.

‘Yup. And this is all thanks to you.’ Sana said with a warm smile.

‘Oh. Um… You are welcome… I guess…’ Tzuyu said hesitantly as she turned away.

~Tzuyu’s POV~

Okay, so what is happening to me? When do I feel heat on my cheeks when she smiled at me just now? It must be the sun. Yup. It must be the heat. I am just concerned for this girl because she was sick last night. Act cool Tzuyu. Act cool. You must not lose your composure. There is a mission ahead of you.

The duo finally arrived at a village.

‘Do you think this is the correct place?’ Sana asked innocently.

‘Erm, do you not see the signboard over there? It says ‘Kind Soul Village – we are all kind people’ on top of it. Pretty sure we are at the right place.’ Tzuyu answered.

‘Come on, let’s go’, Tzuyu said as she grappled on to Sana’s arm.

The village is filled with laughter and happiness. Wherever they go, everyone greeted them politely with a smile.

‘Yup. Pretty sure this is the right place.’ Tzuyu smirked.

‘Okay, then we better ask around to see if we can find lady Kim Dahyun!’ Sana chirped.

The duo approached a little girl.

‘Do you know who Kim Dahyun is?’ Sana asked.

‘Oh you are looking for our pretty village head? Here, let me bring you to her!’ the little girl said.

‘Thank you, you are so kind!’ Sana smiled.

‘She better not pull off what the little boy did to us a few days ago. I don’t want to turn into braised meaty soup again.’ Tzuyu whispered to Sana.

‘Tzuyu!’ Sana hissed.

Tzuyu kept quiet and continued walking along with Sana.

Somewhere from the horizons, sounds of two bees busy ‘awwhh-ing and sighing’ over this beautiful couple can be heard.

After walking through a few cracks and crevices, the two arrived at a cosy looking hut.

‘Hi we are looking for lady Dahyun.’ Tzuyu said as she knocked on the door,

‘Come in!’ a voice chirped from the other side of the door.
