I can't wait to show her what I've prepared!
In the makeup room, I sit beside Tzuyu who's already in the middle of adjusting her morning looks by two of our makeup artists. It's 3 am in the morning right now. It's so early because the place that we're going to perform today is in another city. I see her and she looks kinda sleepy. It's our routine anyway so I think she's fine.
After Miss Soobin, another makeup artist, starts doing her job on me, I put a bag of candies on Tzuyu's lap. Then I wake her up.
"Tzuyu-ya..." I whisper while tapping her hand.
She's awake. "Huh?" she was confused a little bit before finds out I'm sitting beside her. "Oh, Unnie..."
"Hi!" I greet her with my widest smile excitingly. I point out the bag on her lap. She sees it. Uww, I bet she's surprised. "For you," I tell her.
"Thank you, Unnie," Tzuyu finally smiles.
"Open it!"
After that, Tzuyu unseals one candy and tastes it. "Umm!" she looks at me and chuckles. Tzuyu looks like a cute little girl when she's happy. After that, she shares the candies to our makeup artists that are doing their job. Tzuyu spoonfed them. "Thank you," one by one of them say. 
It's still dark outside. We're still kinda exhausted after yesterday's schedule, but I'm happy that we can enjoy this little happiness.

On the way to our headquarter, I buy a tteokpokki on the street. After the car stops, I tell the driver that I will just buy them by myself. Sana, the only member who's in the car, accompanies me coming out of the van. I buy three cups of tteokpokki.
"Are you that hungry, Ju? Hihi!" asks Sana.
I tell her that I buy one for the driver, one for both of us, and the last one for Jeongyeon in the headquarter. Today is the schedule of three of us for a recording today and she's already there. "I remember someone said that she likes tteokpokki," I say.

The driver is surprised that I buy one for him. He says thank you. "Nae~ Thank you back, driver-nim! Umm, by the way... I'm sorry before but we're going to eat ours here, inside the car. Is it okay?" I ask him.
"Let's open the window. You can turn off the aircon for a while, driver-nim," Sana says.
After that, I share my the tteokpokki with her. It's so sweet to eat something together with someone like this. Lowkey, I'm enjoying it.
In the headquarter, Jeongyeon looks excited when we show her the tteokpokki. She says, "Wow!" I guess she doesn't expect it. She eats it after we finish the recording. We join our tteokpokki with Jeongyeon's and eat them together. We're kinda tired so it's really relieving to eat at this kind of moment. "Umm, this is delicious! Where do you buy it?" Jeongyeon asks while eating them. Her eyes are sparkling and she eats kinda quick. I guess she's enjoying it.

Some of the members are in the biggest bedroom in the dorm. I join them. After talking about one-two things, Nayeon talks about how I like giving some snacks to the members these days. "I'm observing you, you know. What's weird is... Haeju shares them privately. One member at a time. She gave me a huge bag of chips and she said, "Because I know you like chips". I know that the other members get one as well, but every member gets different items," she broadcasts to the other members. I admit, she's a good observant of the members. Maybe because she has always been the oldest member of the group that she cares a lot to her dongsaengs.

By the way, after that, the conversation goes around that. Jihyo tells us that unexpectedly I gave her some boiled eggs after TV performance, Dahyun got waffles, Momo got a little box of pizza, etc. She asks me why I do that these days. She tells me that I'm odd but it's also nice. "I don't know. I just feel doing it," I tell them, answering their question. "Is it weird?"
Jihyo says, "I read online that every person has their own way to express love and compassion to the other people. One of the ways is giving gifts." She makes us curious about it that we try to find that article that she read, finding out each of the member's ways of showing love. 

In the middle of that, Mina whispers to me. "What you do is not weird, Haeju-ya. I love it and I can understand why you do that. I'm sure the other members are happy to receive your surprises. Keep doing it!" she tells me.
"I'm happy doing it, Mina. Seeing them happy makes me happy," I tell her.
She smiles. "You're always so sweet. I'm proud of you," she says while putting her hands on mine.
"Hehe, thanks!" I chuckle. I look at the members and how I can't wait to give them some more.

"I guess that's just your love language."

(a/n) Late happy new year! Glad that you guys are still here <3
