The aftermath of SaHyo's TMI during Dahyun's birthday VLive.

A/N: As a Sapphire, my speciality is being delusional. And from that deluluness, I bring to you this chapter. Also, I didn't know what to put as the title, I hope it's fitting!

"I don't really kiss the members that much." Jihyo said in a matter of fact tone only to have Sana disagree almost instantly to her statement.

"You kissed me before on my lips." Sana rebutted.

After Dahyun's birthday broadcast, the girls returned to their dorms to get some rest. Between final fittings, interviews and performance rehearsals for their upcoming comeback, it had been a long day for them. After celebrating their beloved Dahyun and fueling up on cake, the members were content to call it a night. Well... all but one.

"Tzuyu ah! Ahhhh ~" Sana whined loudly, not minding the time of night where most of the country was falling into slumber, "I was just fooling around."

Tzuyu sighed as she followed Dahyun into their dorm with Sana tailing behind her. Tzuyu carried on ignoring Sana as she walked across the living room to her room.

Ever since Sana's little (read: not so little) TMI sharing during Dahyun's VLive broadcast of her kiss with Jihyo, Tzuyu hasn't been interacting with her which had made Sana anxious. That, and the fact that Mina and Jihyo kept implying to her (more like teasing her) that Tzuyu was upset.

Thinking back to the broadcast, Tzuyu recalled trying her best to stay awake and active while focusing on ONCE's well wishes for Dahyun as well as the girls when Sana shamelessly pointed out that she and Jihyo had kissed before.

Upon hearing her girlfriend's words, Tzuyu couldn't help but turn around to face the SaHyo couple and raised her eyebrows. She was thankful the camera hadn't caught her before she could manage her reactions.

As she thought about that moment when they were on the way back to the dorms, Tzuyu decided to go through several videos posted online by their loyal fans to review it. It was comical for Tzuyu when she noticed the details of the video snippet.

Tzuyu deduced that it was perhaps due to their tiredness that some of their reactions weren't filtered as well as they would have usually been.

Other than Tzuyu's too interested reaction to SaHyo before saying how she had never kissed (Jihyo), Mina had shown a baffled expression and darted her eyes to Tzuyu while Dahyun intently eyed Tzuyu along with Momo, who also had stolen glances at the youngest member. Jihyo, on the other hand, had sheepishly grinned and acted cute towards Tzuyu as if to communicate a silent apology... and to beg for Tzuyu's mercy to not kill her.

Once she reached her room, Tzuyu spun around and faced Sana with a straight face. Sana stopped whining immediately and stayed mum at Tzuyu's actions.

"Then go fool around all the way to your room. Good night, Sana unnie." Tzuyu said coldly before opening her door, going in and closing the door in Sana's face.

The click of Tzuyu's door-lock too had echoed through the hallway making Sana pout even more.

If she was being honest, Tzuyu wasn't annoyed or upset at all. However, she believed that Sana needed to be put in place from time to time and that it was always fun to mess with the Japanese cutie. So, that was the reason for Tzuyu's behaviour towards the older girl.

"Ahhh ~ Tzuyu ah." Sana started whining again as she knocked on Tzuyu's door, "Tzuyu ah, open the door!"

Sana stomped her foot when she realised the younger girl was not giving in to her. Sana crossed her arms and huffed outside Tzuyu's door, glaring at the barricade separating her from Tzuyu.

Meanwhile, Dahyun had appeared in the hallway after drinking a glass of water in the kitchen. She took in the sight of the Osaka native outside the maknae's door and held back her snickers as she lightly shook her head.

The birthday girl tried her best to make herself invisible by walking as close as she could to the wall as she passed Sana in the hallway leading up to her room - she had hoped to avoid being dragged into the lovers' quarrel.

Unfortunately, Dahyun was never that lucky. Sana turned to face the fair idol and pouted. She reached out and clung onto Dahyun's arm and shook it along with her body.

"Dahyunnie -" Sana whined, hoping to get Dahyun's help in coaxing Tzuyu.

"No, stop." Dahyun feign the firmness in her voice but her eyes shone with a playful and cheeky glint as she detached herself from Sana, "It's my birthday today so I'm not involving myself in your self-conflicted issues. Love you unnie. Night! Dub-out!!"

Following her cheeky peace sign pose, Dahyun left the pouting Sana outside of Tzuyu's door for her to figure out whatever she needed to.

Sana sighed once Dahyun disappeared into her own room down the hall before eye-ing Tzuyu's door again.

"Tzuyu-ah." Sana knocked Tzuyu's room again only to pout when she didn't receive a response.

The Japanese member wanted to call out again but pouted even more as she heard the sound of water running from inside Tzuyu's room and deduced that the younger must have gone to wash up.

Sana pouted and leant her head onto Tzuyu's door with a sigh as she waited.

After a few minutes, she heard movements from inside Tzuyu's room signalling Tzuyu was done with the bathroom.

"Tzuyu ahh." Sana called out, knocking on the door again, "Baby, open the door."

Sana pouted again when there were no sounds of Tzuyu approaching the door. She bit her bottom lip and thought of ways to coax her girlfriend.

On the other side of the door, Tzuyu sat on her bed as she checked her phone in hopes to distract herself from her whiny girlfriend outside.

"You didn't even kiss me today." Sana said in a sad tone, hoping that it would break Tzuyu, "Can I at least get a good night kiss?"

Tzuyu looked at the door and silently chuckle. She could practically hear Sana pouting through the door.

She shook her head affectionately and thought of how shameless it was of Sana to even dare bring up anything about kissing after what she had done. But knowing her girlfriend, she decides that it was just Sana's nature.

Tzuyu eyed the door a little longer and smiled before she went back to checking her phone.

"If I don't get my good night kiss, I'm going to think we're over." Sana tried again.

Tzuyu's eyes darted to the door and creased her eyebrows in confusion, 'What? Is she high?'

"Tzuyu ah. Babe?" Sana knocked the door again. After a while of silence, Sana knocked again, but softer, "Tzuyu ah?"

Tzuyu noted the change in Sana's tone and knew that while the older was regretting her words, Sana might actually jump to her self-derived conclusions which were so baseless.

"T-Tzuyu?" Sana whispered through the door.

At the worry and panic present in Sana's whisper, Tzuyu's resolve went down the drain. The younger internally scolded herself for being too soft before heading for her bedroom door.

‘She doesn't seriously think we're breaking up over this, does she?! Arghhh!’

Tzuyu unlocked the door and swung it open. As soon as the door opened wide enough, Tzuyu landed her lips onto Sana's for a brief but deep kiss before pulling back. Sana was still in a daze after she pulled away so Tzuyu cleared to get her attention.

"Now, go. Good night." Tzuyu said firmly before closing the door in Sana's face... again.

Sana didn't know what to feel first. She felt tingly because of Tzuyu's kiss, happy since Tzuyu confirmed that it mattered more to her to justify that they were still very much together inspite of the little hiccup they were facing and still sad and guilty that she had made Tzuyu upset in the beginning.

She sighed and decided to give her girlfriend some space, "Good night babe."

+ + + + +

Sana sighed as she plopped herself onto her bed after completing her night routine. She stared up to the ceiling and felt weird inside. She hated to think she had to go to bed with Tzuyu mad at her.

The Japanese sighed and reached out to grab her phone. She had no notifications from Tzuyu even after it has been 20 minutes since she left the girl.

She contemplated in calling Tzuyu but was scared that the younger had already slept or worse, the younger was still upset and didn't want to talk to her.
