“Could it be that this year, we’ll finally see Chou Tzuyu in action?” Sana cringe as her eyes staring at the screen in front of her. Tzuyu is in the toilet and she is just lying on the couch spending the last day of their honeymoon before she’s back in the office. She unconsciously changing from one channel to another when this sport broadcast kind of earning her attention; it’s about her wife, Chou Tzuyu.

 

“If you ask me regarding her ability to swim in Tokyo and finally break that world record, I have no doubt but a good athlete is someone who’s talented, hardworking and mentally prepared. She’s unfortunately lacking in the mental department.” The half bald guy answered earning a few nods from the rest. Sana bite her lips in anticipation. Other than being a good wife, she wanted to make sure that she understand what’s going around in Tzuyu’s athletic life; a good way of doing that is by watching the sport talk shows. They say s about you but 85% are right. s or not, they’re not talking rubbish.

 

“Is this regarding her personal issues that earn the media attention recently? She’s married to that clothing designer. What’s new?” Did that guy just badmouthing her? She’s a fashion setter. Not just cloth designer. Sana pouts but remain focus. This is not about her. This is about Tzuyu.

 

“Apparently her parents are not happy. Unhappy parents and un bless marriage are not a good combination for someone whom should be mentally prepared for the biggest games in her life. Sad to say this but I think we’re going to see another Rio’s; the draught and dreaded Chou Tzuyu.” Half of the guys were laughing by now and it pissing Sana’s off. Shouldn’t they be encouraging Tzuyu instead knowing that Tzuyu might be watching this?

 

“What do you think David? Another flop?” The guy named David smile as he fix his blazer and cross his arms.

 

“I disagree with that. I mean look at her records. She timed a 2:03 in the World Open. That is impressive for someone who’s mentally not prepared. Remember how her personal issues were getting the best out of her? This girl had grown up and she’s more mature than she is when she was 17. Give her some break. I believe she’s going to shake the swimming world. Everyone is waiting for her in Tokyo. We all should too.”

 

Sana fist pump in happiness as she’s agreeing with the latter. It’s true. Both Tzuyu and she were just 17 when they made that stupid mistake. It was debateable. They grew up learning from it and married. So yeah. The channel suddenly change into a cartoon show. Tzuyu sit down next to Sana as she wraps her right arm around the blonde’s neck pulling her near.

 

“Why did you change the channel Tzu?”

 

“Why are we watching a bunch of guys talking about me?” Tzuyu uninterestedly said as her eyes casted over Oggy running around chasing after the 3 naughty cockroaches. Sana lean towards the tan girl chest as her finger making a circle just below Tzuyu’s slender neck.

 

“They think you won’t make it in Tokyo. I’m worried. Aren’t you?” There’s an alarming distress layered in Sana’s tone. With everything happening, she still want Tzuyu to make history.

 

“They don’t know me. I’ll make it. Plus..” Tzuyu look down towards Sana and kiss her lips.

 

“....you’re going to be there with me. What can go wrong?”

 

Sana chuckle as Tzuyu playfully nudging the tip of their noses together.   “Sure. I’ll bring a big banner and force Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung to hold it up until you’re finish.”   “Jeong and Chae? I don’t think you can rope them into this plan Sana.” Tzuyu grins as Sana climb into her laps and cupping her face as she’s place kisses around her face. It tickles but she’s not complaining.   “Who said I’m roping them? I’ll rope their girlfriend in my plan. Those dorky girls had no chance again Myoui Mina gummy smiles and Nayeon  aegyo.”   That is true though. Those two won’t be able to resist their girlfriends and ended up doing all the weird things. Tzuyu can imagine Chaeyoung and Jeongyeon sulky face as they’re holding a large supporting banner in front of a lot of cameras considering the two are athletes themselves. A sudden thought invading Tzuyu’s mind making her grinning like a kid. Sana raised an eyebrow.   “What’s inside that mind of yours Chou?”   “Do you know that today is your last day of vacation? I’m going back to training tomorrow too. So what do you want to do today?” Sana respond by slipping her right hand inside of Tzuyu’s shirt earning another grinning from the latter.   “Baby, I meant an activity that doesn’t involve both of us eating each other out.”   “Ah.” Sana blush as she pull her hand back. Tzuyu hold her wrist and place it on her shoulders as she stole a kiss from Sana.   “But we can do a quickie before heading out.”   Sana blush even more. She’s as red as a tomato and it earn a louder laughter from Tzuyu. It’s a rare sight to see the bold Minatozaki Sana somehow blush so much over a simple gesture.   “I hate you Tzu.”   “I know. I love you too.”   …..   “What about Paris that you like so much?” Tzuyu question interrupting their relaxing day on the edge of a pavement road holding onto a bagel that she still keep from Tzuyu 2 hours travelling and two cups of coffee; Paris old history relating to relaxing. It’s not ideal for some but what is ideal anyway when you have the right person to be with? That itself is satisfying. Sana think of an answer as she nibbles on her favourite bread.   “A getaway.”   Tzuyu glance towards Sana as she keeps her cup of coffee near her lips.   “From what?” The memories came rushing in as Sana remembered her teenage years here. A new experience without even knowing the neighborhood or the language. A smile escape her lips.   “From heartbreak I guess. Paris remind me of us. City of love.”   “If this place remind you of us then why stay? You’re like the smartest person I know in my life. It shouldn’t be hard for you to go anywhere.” Tzuyu just need to know. Sometimes she felt like Sana is a little mystery to her. You can never guess what she’s thinking until she tells you what it is. So instead of beating around the bush, she prefers asking about it. Sana let out a small sigh as she let Tzuyu biting into her bagel while she’s trying to say the right thing.   “Maybe I never wanted to be away? Maybe even after everything, I just can never get myself to forget. We had a good run back then. You’re my first love. So…yeah.” Sana waited for Tzuyu’s reaction and saw the tan girl lips tugging into a wide smile.   “You’re that happy huh?”   “Well, it’s good to know that I am your first love. But…” There’s a pause and it trigging Sana consciences. She rest her left hand onto Tzuyu’s lap hoping and hinting for Tzuyu to continue.   “Who did you lost your..you know what I mean.”   “You’re asking me about my ity while we’re in a middle of passerby? Really Tzu?”   “Well, now I’m curious.”   A little sigh escaping Sana’s mouth as she let her arms propping behind supporting her body as she leans back. Tzuyu on the other hand quietly sipping on her coffee. There’s a lot of answering that clouding her mind at the moment but she had thought of this before. She wanted to know and although it is hurting, knowing can ease this nagging feelings in her heart. Get it done with.   “Ughh..” Sana awkwardly sigh. Well, she thought of not telling Tzuyu anything about it but well the tan girl deserve to know.   “Remember when our school had an open night party? Courtesy of Min’s Sorority club?”   Tzuyu rack her brain out and sort of remember the night. It was the same night she first time attending a party without her parent’s knowledge. She also remembered meeting Sana that night.   “The night when you screaming to me that I stole your bra? Yeah I remember how wild you were on the table dancing your off.” That memories bring a smile on Tzuyu’s face. It was funny to be honest. Sana face suddenly turn slightly red.   “You asked me when morning came if anything happen the night before. Remember?” Sana carefully ask as her cheek turns even red. Tzuyu scratch the back of her neck. She has a bad memory of what really happen after Sana fall asleep. It was all so blurry to be honest.   “I did I think. You were drunk like crazy and fall asleep on me. Then…uh…” That was the blurry part of that night memories. Until now, Tzuyu couldn’t recall how did she ended up on Chaeyoung’s bed with Sana when she was actually still conscious that night. Is she?   “This might be freaking you out. You were actually eating me when I suddenly regain my conscious. I was lost when you just push in.” Tzuyu jaw almost drop on the floor. She did not remember anything like that at all.   “No way. What the…no way. I was conscious the whole night.” Tzuyu is likely speaking to herself instead of talking to Sana. She completely turning around facing the blonde.   “You probably had a few more drinks that we ended up in Chaeyoung’s room and you were unlikely me. Just so you know, I sort of give my consent. I did enjoyed it. So I can’t count it as .”   Tzuyu face palming herself. She was never a heavy drinker and she might have drink a little more than she should. Tzuyu seems to be regretting her action that night but Sana shaking her head gaining Tzuyu’s attention.   “This is why I didn’t tell you. You’ll freak out and then you’re going to force yourself to like me. I did the right thing.”   Tzuyu heaved. Sana is right. She did do the right thing.   “I took it away from you. What a ty way to remember.” Sana squeeze Tzuyu’s hip and steal a kiss on the tan girl cheek.   “Not really. I took yours. So we’re even. And now we’re stuck with each other until we die. Awesome right?”   Tzuyu finally grins as she wraps her arm around Sana waist and let her wife resting her head on the nook of her neck. Sana hairs smell nice.   “Turning old, grey hair and bad back too. I can’t wait.”   “Tzu?”   “Yeah?”   Sana can’t help it. Her smile grew wider.   “I love you.”   Tzuyu slightly pull away and peck the blond forehead.   “I love you too wife.”   Simple. Just like that.   …..   “You did the right thing Jihyo.”   Jihyo couldn’t even smile but keep her phone near her ear. The thought of Tzuyu and Sana together is hurting her heart. But she made up her mind and no matter how hurting it is, it was done.   “Maybe. How are you doing Naeun?”   “I’m still trying to move on. At least I have trainings to help me not thinking too much.”   “You should. I’m sorry for dragging you into this. I wish I can help you more.” Jihyo sincerely said. Naeun sacrificing her own happiness to help planning this. Jihyo feels bad about it.   “It’s okay. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. I just need time.” The chair in front of her was pulled slightly away as Jihyo eyes caught onto the person she promised to meet right now.   “Hey, I’ve got to go. I’ll talk to you soon. Take care okay?”   “You too Jihyo and thank you for
