3 months have passed, and all the lawsuits regarding Chou Yi and AceAid Medical have finally been settled. It cost them a tremendous amount, but none can be compared to both Mina and Tzuyu’s losses. They have both lost their family in 1 incident. When everyone thought they could have found warmth and love in each other, Mina went on and did that.

This is the faithful day, Mina and Tzuyu would meet again, with the board of councils of the hospital, to decide who would get to take over the hospital.

“Yah, Mina-yah get up already!!” Sana boomed across the hallway and burst into Mina’s room holding onto the suit prepared by both her and Momo. They will be accompanying Mina to the hospital, who knows what could happen right?

Grunting at the sudden intrusion, Mina proceeded to cover her face with her arm, denying the fact that it’s time for her to wake up.

“Come on baby, go wash up and get dressed! I’m leaving the clothes here, Momo bought breakfast.” Sana said lovingly (not) and slapped the younger’s before leaving the room for Mina to get dressed.

Finally giving in to reality, Mina got out of bed and got herself prepared for the day. Well, it was unlike for the youngest to sleep in, but she was keep awake till late last night worrying about the meeting today. Taking in a deep breath, Mina pulled up the tie and walked into the common area to have breakfast with the others. Guess what? That’s right, the sight of a stuffed Momo greeted her.

“Quick, come here, I bought you western, and lots of ketchup.” Momo half-shouted with full, before tossing a bag full of packeted ketchup at Mina.

“Thanks.” Mina smiled at the girl before sitting down at the dining table to have her breakfast.

“We will be following you today, as you can see, do I look good?” Sana asked as she striked a pose at Mina. Which she succeeded in cheering the younger up, both Momo and Sana knew how nervous Mina is for today’s meet up, so they are trying their best to make the youngest feel better with their company.

Offering the clumsy girl a quick laugh, Mina replied “Yea, you look good.”

After finishing their breakfast, all 3 girls took their blazer to put them on before Momo grabbed the Land Rover car keys to bring out their ride for the day.

“Wait a minute, Mina baby come here.” Sana called out to Mina as she reached for Mina’s tie, giving it a final adjustment. “Alright, let’s go!”

“Why are you guys always babying her? What about me?!” Momo protested to the younger, earning a nudge from Sana’s elbow.

“Mind you, you’re older than me.” Sana replied in a reprimanding tone, and Mina giggled behind them.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… There there.” Mina said while patting Momo like how she pets a dog.

It took them only half an hour drive before reaching the oh-so-familiar building. Momo dropped the other two off at the main door before proceeding to drive her Land Rover in the basement parking lot. The two Japanese walked into the building as they are being greeted by some stuff in formal suits, bowing 45 degrees at the girls.

“We have been expecting your arrival, Myoui Mina-ssi.” One of the female greeted and motioned for them to follow her down the main lobby towards to lift.

“Wait, we’re still waiting for one more person.” Mina replied with a polite smile before walking towards the sofas in the corner of the main lobby.

At the other end of the building, Tzuyu is being escorted by her personal assistant through the side door. Her PA informed her of the current situation of the company, as well as for her to expect a board meeting regarding the ownership of the hospital. She nodded, absorbing as much information as she can; Tzuyu hesitated for a moment upon mentioning a certain someone.

“Is she coming over today?” Tzuyu questioned, unknown to her that she just walked pass the said girl when she entered from the side door.

“I’m sure she will be, Ma’am.” The PA replied while scrolling through her iPad, to double confirm the meet up timing.

As they stepped into the lift, they were headed for the top floor. “The meeting will be in 30 minutes time.” Tzuyu’s PA confirmed with her, as Tzuyu lifts her face towards the lift door.

“What’s taking Momo so long?” Mina questioned as she finally looks up from the magazine that she has been occupied with for the pass 10 minutes.

Then Mina sees Momo jogging towards them. All three of them proceeded as the stuff brought them towards the conference room for the meeting.

Time seems to pass very quickly when both the girls are occupied with the thought off one another. It’s been some time since they last met, plus it wasn’t on a very pleasant note. Momo and Sana both know that Mina never really walked out of what she and Tzuyu shared, they see how much effect the said girl has on their maknae, but Mina refuses to admit that fact. And Tzuyu? She was indeed infuriated that Mina didn’t manage to save her father, she was angry that Mina decided to go to the extent of forcing her father into the corner. But was she really mad at Mina after what her father had done to the said girl? No.

Mina was sitted by the first seat around the conference table, back-facing Tzuyu when she entered the room. The room was already occupied with the board members, so Tzuyu had to sit opposite Mina, taking in sight of the person she once had feelings for. Many questions came into her mind as she looked at the girl before her; she’s slimmer than she already was, there were eye bags under eyes, they were visible even under the makeup, she looks… tired, stressed and unhappy. By the thought of these, it made Tzuyu’s heart break a little. She thought she has forgotten the girl before her; forgotten the feelings they once shared, forgotten the ever-bright gummy smile and the sound of her soft voice. Everything came rushing back once Tzuyu sees the girl before her, tears were b in her eyes without her knowing.

All these didn’t go unnoticed by Mina, she too, was heart-broken seeing Tzuyu, and immediately avoiding the younger’s eyes realising that Tzuyu had tears in her eyes. It took a lot of self-control for the assassin to not go over and give the broken girl a hug, kiss her tears away and tell her that everything will be alright, when nothing was.

“Okay, let’s begin.” announced a bespectacled old man with grey hair, dressed in a set of neat navy tux.

“Rightfully, the Myouis owns like 80% of the medical formulas in the hospital, and the doctors were all trained under them. So, I think Miss Myoui should earn her fair share in the hospital.” Said one of the shareholders; who was part of the founders of Myoui Pharmaceutical.

“But it was Chou Yi who made the hospital so established today, shouldn’t the one with better business mind take over the hospital? The Myouis can continue with their medical researches.” Said another.

Arguments of such are being thrown to and fro from people of the two perspectives for another hour when Tzuyu stood up.

“I think the Chous and the Myouis both have their fair share of hard work and contribution for AceAid to come so far. So, I suggest we both hold equal ownership of the hospital.” Tzuyu made a bold move by saying that. She didn’t even consult Mina whether she is willing to share the hospital, or even take part in the operation of it.

Upon hearing the suggestion, everyone looked at her stunned, including Mina. Why would someone be so innocent? How naïve of Tzuyu, thinking of sharing one property.

Mina lowered her head and let out a single chuckled, sounding as if she was mocking Tzuyu’s stupidity. Tzuyu is still as naïve as the first day she met her, still as peace loving, seemingly unaffected by the twisted world outside. Mina then stood up, levelling Tzuyu, looking into her eyes.

“You can have the hospital. I will just continue to be a shareholder.” Mina let herself smile sadly at the girl in front of her, before walking out of the conference room, motioning for both Momo and Sana to follow her.

Shocked by Mina’s words was an understatement, everyone in the room was confused. Nobody expected that Mina would give up something so huge so easily. Tzuyu immediately broke out of her thoughts and ran after Mina.

“Hey wait, can I speak to you?” Tzuyu said as she caught with Mina, grabbing her wrist to turn her around.

Both Sana and Momo looked at the taller girl with hopeful eyes, hoping that Tzuyu can finally return Mina’s soul back into her body.

“Privately.” Tzuyu continued and pulled Mina with her, only to be stopped by Mina, she is stronger than she looks.

“What’s there that can’t be addressed here? Between you and me?” Mina questions coldly, her gaze boring into Tzuyu. She looked emotionless and distanted, but Tzuyu saw what’s behind, sadness and loneliness.

Tzuyu didn’t say anything, instead she just dragged Mina into her office. As she closed the doors behind her, she turned to face Mina and pulled her into a bone-crashing hug.

“I’m sorry.” Tzuyu started, and the tears that threatened to fall earlier came flowing down her cheeks like they have finally found comfort, and it’s in Mina. Mina flinched at Tzuyu’s sudden outburst, and wanted to push the younger girl away, but she can’t seem to find the strength in her to do so.

They stayed in this position for a minute before Tzuyu continued, “I’m sorry for what my father did, can you please come back?”

“I’m sorry too…” Mina whispered her apology as she closes her eyes, finally taking in the warmth that she’s been missing the whole time; the warmth that she’s missing since she was five.

As Tzuyu felt Mina returning the hug, she tightened her hold on the shorter girl, afraid that she will leave her again.

They stood there for another minute before letting go.

“I will provide medical support for your organisation.” Tzuyu said with determined eyes.

“Hmph, I hope you don’t regret that.” Mina said and finally let out a chuckle at the innocent giant before her.

“Ma’am, Mina is in the private wardroom.” Tzuyu’s secretary came into Tzuyu’s office announcing the news.

Sighing heavily, Tzuyu picked up her stethoscope and proceeded to the said wardroom.

Upon entering the room, Tzuyu was greeted by Mina holding onto her heavily bruised right arm. Fructured bone.

“You know you can just come and visit me like any other girlfriends and not here lying in my hospital bed right?” Tzuyu questioned Mina with a hint of anger in her voice. Tzuyu always gets angry and worried whenever Mina comes to the hospital. Tzuyu lifted Mina’s arm and helped her bandage her injured arm, earning occasional hisses from the injured penguin.

“There, all done.” Tzuyu said satisfied with her skills, and Mina replied with a giggle, laughing at the younger girl. Hearing that Tzuyu shook her head and deliberately pressed the bruise on Mina’s cheek to get the penguin to stop laughing at her.

“Stop getting injured, you hear me?” Tzuyu threatened as she crosses her arms before her chest and puffed her cheeks at the older girl.

“Alright, alright, you say that all the time.” Mina surrendered and smiled her famous gummy smile at the doctor.

“And you still get yourself hurt every time! I hate it, I hate you.” Tzuyu mocked anger at Mina.

“And I love you!” Mina said and reached out her good hand to hold onto Tzuyu’s cheeks and pressed a kiss on Tzuyu’s pouty lips.
