It was a typical day at Twice's dorm. Dahyun and Chaeyoung were working on their homework together in their shared room with Tzuyu. Nayeon and Jungyeon, who settled in the living room, were helping Tzuyu with her school work after their movie finished an hour ago. The Japanese trio were at the dinner table while chatting in their native language. 

The sound of running water spread throughout the dorm that came from the bathroom, indicating it was occupied The lonely leader entered the shower area after undressing. The rapidly shooting hot water hit against her skin, making her sigh from the stress of a hard day.

"Why did she have to wear those clothes? Out of everyone, why her?" Jihyo groaned, letting her head drop against the glass walls. She took that moment to recollect herself after spilling a part of her frustration. 

"Don't be stupid, Jihyo-ah. Of course, Staff Oppas and Unnies gave Tzuyu those clothes because she's the visual." Jihyo reasoned with herself, though it lit an bitter feeling within her heart when the memory of loud male fans screaming "Tzuyu" till their throats became sore. 

Jihyo shook her head to get rid of these troubling thoughts and reminded herself that she had to wash up quickly. She reached for the soap and began washing her body.

As her soapy hands brushed against the soft skin of her abdominal area, Jihyo couldn't help but whimper from remembering how citizens and netizens have degraded her because of how "fat" she was, forcing her to go on diet. It was the worst feeling of being treated in that way. Although, Jihyo made sure that she didn't show her insecurity to anyone since she was supposed to be a strong leader for Twice so she always cried alone in the bathroom to isolate herself from the others. 

This continous cycle kept going until one day Tzuyu caught her crying in one early morning. Jihyo never felt so ashamed when her weakness was exposed, especially by the next Korea's Beauty with that tan skin and those gifted looks. 

No matter how much Jihyo tried to deny the truth and maintain her strong leader image, Tzuyu somehow managed to get through her lines of defense with just simple words.

"You look beautiful just the way you are, unnie. Why bother with everyone's opinion?"

It was so simple and chic but it managed to make the loud leader become silent. Tzuyu was always the honest type as she could never lie. Knowing that, Jihyo's heart skipped a beat and it started to pound when Jihyo saw Tzuyu's dimple smile towards her. 

"Don't ever doubt yourself, unnie. You have us for support."

These words just rolled off Tzuyu's tongue like magic and it was working upon Jihyo's crazily beating heart. Her heart rate spiked up as if she had a when Tzuyu hugged her, trapping the short leader in her arms. That hug captured Jihyo's heart completely and sealed the deal.

Ever since that little bathroom encounter, Jihyo felt some sort of attachment towards Tzuyu though she truly believed that it was just future motherly instincts. The rowdy leader would always find herself staring at Tzuyu during their schedules or at home. She would just tell herself that it was because Tzuyu was naturally beautiful so anyone would stare at her.

Also, Jihyo started to pamper Tzuyu a lot especially during the time when the flag scandal went viral. She became very protective over Tzuyu as people from left to right attacked the youngest with so much hatred. The other members were—of course—there for Tzuyu but they weren't as serious as Jihyo, who was practically Tzuyu's body guard. Soon, the crazy event died down but Jihyo's treatment towards Tzuyu never changed as she took care of Tzuyu much more than the others.

After witnessing the many lovey-dovey moments between Jihyo and Tzuyu, some of the Twice members began to question if Jihyo had some romantic interest in Tzuyu but the leader brushed them off by denying it. 

"Me and Tzuyu? That's as if Taeyeon sunbae were to ever date Seohyun sunbae! Impossible!"

Jihyo laughed it off but after a while, the members' questions began to sink in.

"I mean, you two seem really close, Jihyo-ah. Haven't you noticed how extremely protective you are over Tzuyu?"

"Even though she is the youngest, you show her more affection than all of us combined. You haven't noticed that?"

"Jihyo, do you know how obvious you are when you stare at her?"

"Do you like her, unnie?"

Their questions echoed in Jihyo's mind as she was left alone after the constant questioning. 

"Do I like Tzuyu?" Jihyo asked herself but shook her head immediately, "No! I just care for her because she is the youngest, of course! Not that I like her in that way! Never!"

How ironic Jihyo had said all this but she soon began to eat her own words when she started to notice the way she views Tzuyu.

Tzuyu'a glorious hair and flawless skin that radiated under the sunlight like a Greek Goddess. Jihyo struggled to stop gawking at her own group mate but it proved to be a difficult task. She couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful Tzuyu is and it nearly became an obsession that practically drove Jihyo insane.

Jihyo could remember those sad times when she couldn't accept that she had a thing for Tzuyu. Back then, she tried to avoid Tzuyu without being very obvious but she couldn't do it because she crumpled right away when she experienced Tzuyu-withdrawals.

Once she given up that failed experiment, Jihyo realized how much Tzuyu affected her even with the simplest of gestures like fixing her hair or wiping something off her skin; it still made Jihyo's heart beat loudly like a drum. 

Eventually, Jihyo had learned to accept that she was a lesbian for Tzuyu and it felt relieving to her after acknowledging that fact. On the other hand, difficulties began to arise especially when Jihyo had problems with dealing with this one-sided love. She couldn't help but pamper Tzuyu like a princess but Jihyo didn't want to arouse suspicion amongst the group so she tried to put her attention upon the other younger members despite how hard it was for Jihyo to resist the urges of switching back to Tzuyu instead.

Today, Twice had to perform "Cheer Up" at a music show and everyone wore similar outfits that matched according to the colors. However, Jihyo had trouble looking away from Tzuyu's not-so-innocent outfit that showed much of Tzuyu's feminine features like those slender curves and that kissable tan skin.
