'Hoop' 

 

The sound of a basketball being thrown into the hoop. The team was training hard for the upcoming New Years Tournament coming soon. It was about two days left for New Years. The weather getting much more colder everyday. 

 

Ever since the fight, Tzuyu did not visit Sana even though he wanted to. If he did, he would be kicked out anyways. Sometimes they would meet at the elevator for their daily routin, or meet at their front doors. But none of them would start a conversation first. They would just ignore each other. But everyday Tzuyu would text her to remind her take her medicines. That's all. That's the best that he can do to take care of the latter. 

 

Tzuyu was still heartbroken after what Sana said. No one have ever seen Tzuyu this sad and since the day they fought, Tzuyu never put on a smile on his face. 

 

At the basketball court, everyone was hard practicing. Then they get to take a few minutes break. 

Everyone sat at the bench including Tzuyu. 

 

"Hey guys I'll be having a New Years party at my house. Feel free to come" said Jinyoung while panting for air 

 

"Yeah sure I'll be there" said the teammates 

 

"Hey what about you Tzuyu? Are you coming?" Jinyoung looked at Tzuyu 

 

"I don't think so I wanna go anywhere" Tzuyu rolled a ball on his finger 

 

"Come on man we gotta chill" Jinyoung threw his arms around Tzuyu's shoulder 

  

"I'll think about it" Tzuyu sighed 

 

"You're always welcome man. Cheer up" Jinyoung pat his back 

  

"Tzuyu" suddenly Mr.Seungun , Tzuyu's manager, entered. 

 

"Hyungnim" Tzuyu stood up 

   

"Why did you call? Anyways, you better do something about the scandal with Lisa. People wouldn't stop talking about it" 

 

"That's the reason I call you, hyung. I want to cancel the contract" said Tzuyu 

 

Then the manager pulled him outside the court so they can have a private conversation about it. 

  

"Tzuyu, I wish I can cancel it for you too but to cancel a contract is not that easy" 

 

"I don't care hyung. Just rip the contract paper off or something" Tzuyu demanded 

 

"Tzuyu, the problem is the contract is not with me. It's with the magazine company. They keep the contracts of their models" said Mr.Seungun 

 

Tzuyu rubbed his forehead and sighed heavily 

   

"I'm sorry Tzuyu. Just stay away from that women okay?"   

 

"How am I suppose to do that hyung? We're modelling partners and there'll be another new cover for the New Years Eve so tell me how am I suppose to stay away from that lady?" Tzuyu feel his anger rising 

 

"I'll help you, Tzuyu. I'll tell the magazine company that your schedules are packed or something. I'll try my best to keep you away from Lisa" he held Tzuyu's shoulder and smiled

 

"Thank you hyung. Thanks a lot" Tzuyu nodded 

 

*********** 

  Sana was on her way home from work. Actually she didn't have to work because of New Years holiday. But to kill her time, she would spend time working.      She couldn't stop thinking of Tzuyu. Sometimes she would silently peek on Tzuyu whenever he's going out. She would always smile after receiving Tzuyu's text about must eat her medicine. Sana's health cured slowly everyday. But however, she's still heartbroken and sad about their argument and also Tzuyu's scandal news.      Flashback      It was Christmas morning and Sana finally woke up after collapsing last night. Chaeyoung and Mina did not leave in order to take care of the latter. Mina made Sana a hot cup of tea. Chaeyoung left them alone for some girl talk and helped himself in the kitchen eating cereal.    "Here, your favourite tea" Mina smiled    "Thanks Mina ya" Sana straightened her back and rest her back against the bed post.      "What did the doctor say?" Sana asked after sipping on her drink    Mina sat on the side of the bed and sighed    "High blood pressure. You need a lot of rest"    Sana just nodded. Then Minna broke the silence  "About last night-"   "I don't wanna talk about it" Sana cut her words    "Sana, you shouldn't talk like that to Tzuyu. You do love him don't you?"    "Of course I love him but I feel so heartbroken seeing him kissing someone else"    "Sana believe what Tzuyu said. Lisa was the one who kissed him and when it happened someone she hired took the picture of them. She sabotaged Tzuyu"    "Yes I believe him Mina. But it is so complicated" Sana sighed    "What more can be the reason for you not to give him a chance?"    "It's complicated don't you understand?!" Sana shouted.  Chaeyoung heard the shout and quietly made his way to Sana's room. He did not enter but just hear their conversation.    Mina sighed and held the latter's hand, "I'm here Sana ya. You know I can always help you"    "I don't know Mina. I don't know who to blame. Tzuyu or that crazy b*tch" Sana hugged her pillow    "You just said that you believed Tzuyu but what is going now? Choosing who to blame?" Mina r
