After many long hours, all of the boxes containing the things that Dahyun had packed was finally at Jihyo's house. The blonde still needed to retrieve some smaller things from Chaeyoung's house, but she could officially declare herself as moved in with Jihyo. The two girls entered the bedroom, and Dahyun immediately threw herself onto the king-sized bed.

 

“This bed is so comfy!” The blonde said.

 

The older girl sat down on the bed. “Welcome to your new home, Dubu.” Jihyo moved closer on the bed to be right next to Dahyun and kissed her on the cheek.

 

The blonde blushed in response. “T-Thanks..” The older girl lied right next to the younger girl, looking at her.

 

“Hey,” Jihyo said. The blonde turned to face her. “Yes?”

 

The older girl smiled. “I look forward to living with you from now on, sweetie.”

 

“S-Sweetie..?” The blonde said.

 

The older girl giggled. “You don't like that? We're roommates now, so I thought I should give you a new nickname.”

 

“C-Couples say sweetie..”

 

Another giggle from Jihyo. “Then... How about sweetheart?”

 

“Couples say that too...!”

 

The two girls lied there, facing each other. They stared into each other's eyes, but then the older girl's eyes started to trail down to Dahyun's lips. She wrapped one arm around the younger girl. The girls lied there for a couple of moments, but the younger girl immediately sat up.

 

“Y-You know.. W-We should probably go to the store or something..” The blonde said.

 

The older girl sat up. “You're right. There's some stuff I need to get.”

 

Dahyun sat up and got off the bed. She exited the room, shutting the door quickly. Jihyo just stared at the turned-off T.V. screen, sighing to herself. At this point, the loud pounding of Jihyo's heart was too much to ignore, so she just took some time to hear it, and think about it.

 

“Dahyun...” Jihyo said to herself, quietly. “You're really doing something to me... and you don't even know it...”

 

------------------------------

 

4:51 PM.

 

After school, Tzuyu had decided to just head to the park alone. She was watching the ducks in the river, taking in the noises of nature outside. She needed some time to think to herself because recently her feelings have been confusing her.

 

Well, to be specific, her feelings about Nayeon.

 

The bunny girl makes her feel a certain way that she cannot explain. But that's a known fact at this point, right?

 

Her mind ran through so many thoughts, so many explanations that don't quite fit. She couldn't make sense of any of it, and it irritated her to no end.

 

Then, of course, she got to the conclusion that she's been trying to avoid for so long. The one that made so much sense, but at the same time, so little sense.

 

She has romantic feelings towards Nayeon.

 

But... Tzuyu's straight, right?

 

But the more she thinks of it... the more she thinks that, perhaps, she isn't quite straight.

 

Every single date she would go on a guy with, she never really felt any “sparks” or a connection. At first, she just thought it was the guys she was going out with. Until she went out on a date with a really likable guy, and there was still no sparks then. That was a while ago, so Tzuyu didn't think much of it at the time. But now that she thinks about it...

 

It isn't just certain guys that Tzuyu doesn't connect with... It's ALL guys. She's never once felt anything romantic with any guy of any type, at all. But with Nayeon...

 

She was always a blushing mess, always heard her heart pounding, always felt butterflies in her stomach... and the only person who made her feel that way...

 

It was Nayeon.

 

It's always been Nayeon.

 

So...

 

That was it. Tzuyu figured it out. The answer to the main question that's been following her all this time.

 

“...huh,” Tzuyu said quietly to herself, then she made her way out of the park.

 

------------------------------

 

5:36 PM.

 

Nayeon was spending her time at a mall. Of course, this wasn't just any mall, since it had a theater and an underground aquarium. Much to say, the bunny girl was having some fun by herself.

 

But, there's one thing that's constantly on her mind. More accurately – one person that's constantly on her mind.

 

Chou Tzuyu. Her best friend.

 

There's a lot of good things about Tzuyu, and Nayeon really loved that. But then... she started to think about the “elephant in the room” if that's a good phrase.

 

Their feelings for each other.

 

At first, Tzuyu was JUST her best friend, but as of this month... Nayeon's been noticing a lot of things. And well... she's going to admit it straight up. Nayeon has romantic feelings for Tzuyu. She never really brought it up, or thought much of it, since she's dealt with unrequited love before, so it was just natural to her. But with how the younger girl has been acting lately... it's made the bunny girl reconsider some things.

 

Just, and hear her out, what if... Tzuyu has feelings for Nayeon?

 

A bit crazy, but Tzuyu has mentioned that she hasn't really been hitting it off with guys lately. And Nayeon isn't blind, she sees how the Taiwanese girl is when she's around her. So... maybe Tzuyu has feelings for Nayeon?

 

The bunny girl would be extremely happy. But she isn't going to get her hopes up. As far as everyone knows, Tzuyu is straight. So, she'll see in the future.

 

Nayeon noticed that she was just standing there in the middle of the mall, so she proceeded to start walking. She'll get back on this topic soon.

 

------------------------------

 

6:59 PM

 

After getting the smaller things for Chaeyoung's house, Dahyun started to slowly move her stuff into Jihyo's room. The older girl wasn't around for right now since she was busy doing some more practice over at JYP studios. Dahyun didn't mind since this gave her some time by herself to fully look around Jihyo's house.

 

There was a knock on the door, which irritated the blonde a bit. She walked over and opened the door, and much to her surprise, Sana was behind the door.

 

“Ah... I thought Jihyo would be here.” Sana fell silent. “Sorry.”

 

“Wait, hold on, I'm sure Jihyo will be back soon,” Dahyun replied. “You can stay in if you want.”

 

“No thanks,” Minatozaki replied. “It's something I want to talk to Jihyo about, in private.”

 

“Oh.. I see...” The blonde fell silent. “Then, she's at JYP studios.”

 

“Ah, thanks.”

 

With that, Sana took off. Dahyun just stood there dumbfounded.

 

“That... was weird...” Dahyun said to herself.

 

------------------------------

 

7:34 PM.

 

Jihyo was surprised by a knock on the practice room door. “Oh, come in!”

 

A bigger surprise, Sana came in.

 

“Ah?” Jihyo was surprised (did I mention this was all a surprise?). “Sana, it's good to see you.”

 

“Jihyo... I-It's good to see you too.” Sana fell silent. “Ah... can I tell you something? It's... a bit heavy.”

 

“Oh?” The JYP trainee sat on the couch. “Really?”

 

Sana sat down next to her. “We've had lots of talks before, and... remember how a while ago, I mentioned wanting something that you can't have?”

 

“Right.” The younger girl nodded. “I've been wondering what it is.”

 

Sana took a deep breath. The only people that know about Sana's dark past is Seulgi and Momo. But... Minatozaki-chan really trusted Jihyo, since the girl was so caring and warm. So... this wasn't going to be too hard, right?

 

“I don't have any parents, but you know that,” Sana said.

 

“Yeah...” Jihyo said quietly, she reached over to Sana's hands. After some readjusting, Jihyo made sure the two girls were holding hands. “I'm here for you, Sana. You can tell me...”

 

The Japanese girl just smiled at her. “Y-Yeah...”

 

Another deep breath. “When I was really young... my mother died.”

 

Jihyo's heart dropped. “s-sana...” she whispered under her breath.

 

“After that... my father started to drink. A lot.” Minatozaki sighed. “He never hit me – thank god -, but... he never paid attention to me. Ever. Imagine that, huh? Going through a time of horrible grief, and the one person that you can turn to doesn't even care enough to even talk to you.”

 

Sana looked away, but then back at Jihyo. “He would leave money for me, but that's about it. So... I raised myself. At least until...” A sigh. “Until he left.”

 

The JYP trainee gasped. “He... left?”

 

“He abandoned me,” Sana replied. “I was 15 years old, and he just abandoned me.”

 

“S-Sana... I'm so sorry.” Jihyo pulled the girl into a hug. “That's so horrible...”

 

“It's okay...” Minatozaki responded. “But... that's not all.”

 

Sana pulled away from the hug. “You're probably going to think this sounds crazy... but I've been thinking, and... well... I want to go find him.”

 

“huh? You... want to find your father? The same guy that abandoned you?” Jihyo asked.

 

“Yeah, you wouldn't really understand,” Minatozaki replied. “You had it good, you know? All your life, you've known what it's like to have a loving mother and father. But I didn't. And... maybe he's changed. I'm willing to forgive him if he's changed.”

 

A sigh from Sana and she continued. “I can't live my entire life without knowing what happened to him, Jihyo. I need that closure, I-I deserve that closure after everything that I've been through.”

 

The JYP trainee fell silent and took a couple of moments to think. But then... she spoke up. “Okay. I can help you.”

 

“Jihyo?” Sana's heart started to pound fast. “Help me?”

 

“Of course! You're my friend, and friends help friends!”

 

Ouch. “Y-Yeah... my friend..” Much to say, Minatozaki felt a sharp blade pierce her heart.

 

Jihyo took hold of Sana's left hand. “Whatever you need with this, er, quest? I'll help you. Okay?”

 

Minatozaki nodded. Even then, her heart was still pounding fast. And she felt some warmness, knowing that Jihyo wanted to help her. “Okay.”

 

The JYP trainee fell silent and started to have an internal conflict. Sana noted this. “Jihyo?”

 

“Ahhh... Jeongyeon's going to kill me.” Jihyo sighed. Minatozaki was just confused. “What do you mean?”

 

“Sana, I have something to tell you. It's really big, and quite honestly, very personal. But I trust you.” The JYP trainee said.

 

“Oh?” The Japanese girl looked at her. “All eyes on you, Jihyo.”

 

Jihyo just sighed and smiled lightly. “Ah... I'm biual.”

 

And then... Sana saw it. A chance, a little spark of hope.

 

“Awww... congratulations!” Sana replied, pulling her in for a hug. “I knew there was some gay in there!”

 

“Dahyun said that same thing!” Jihyo commented, hugging her back.

 

After a little bit, the two girls pulled away. With the newly learned fact that Jihyo is biual, Sana found herself smiling non-stop. She could really see a future with Jihyo, and she loved that!

 

------------------------------

 

8:51 PM.

 

Much to say, Jihyo spent the rest of her time at JYP with Sana, just having absolute fun. She really liked Sana, as a friend. Anyways, Sana offered to stick around with Jihyo at least until she got home, and that's where they're at right now. Jihyo unlocked her front door.

 

“You wanna come in for a little bit, Sana?” Jihyo asked.

 

“Um... is that really okay?” Sana replied with another question.

 

Jihyo smiled warmly at her, making Sana's heart jump. “I'm sure Dubu wouldn't mind.”

 

“Ah, right, she's finally moved in!” Minatozaki replied. “H-How exciting!”

 

She mentally facepalmed for stuttering. Anyways, Jihyo entered the house and motioned for Sana to enter. Immediately, Jihyo was greeted with a hug from Dahyun.

 

“Jihyo! I missed you!” Dahyun replied. “Oh, and hey there, Sana.”

 

“Hello.” The Japanese girl said.

 

Jihyo placed a gentle kiss on Dahyun's cheek, and Sana felt her heart break into a million little pieces. The blonde blushed madly, while Jihyo just her hair. “Dubu, what's wrong?”

 

“Ah... it's nothing.” Dahyun replied.

 

“You... two are dating...?” Sana asked. “W-When did that happen?”

 

The two girls just turned around to face her. “We're not dating!”

 

The Japanese girl was taken aback. “Then why did Jihyo just kiss you!?”

 

“Ah, it's a thing I'm doing now,” Jihyo said. “Since, you know, Dahyun and I are childhood friends.”

 

Sana had a mental sigh of relief. Then, she collected herself and composed herself accordingly with Dahyun.

 

“More like an old married couple,” Minatozaki added with a smirk.

 

“Wonpil said the exact same thing,” Jihyo replied. “How annoying...”

 

“Well... I'm just going to leave you two lovebirds to it.” The Japanese girl remarked.

 

“We're not lovebirds, stop!!!” Dahyun whined. “You're such a meanie!”

 

Sana and Jihyo both giggled. “You're so funny, Dubu!” The JYP trainee commented.

 

“Waaah... stop laughing...” The blonde pouted.

 

“No, but for real, I going to go,” Sana replied. “Thanks for offering Jihyo, but I got some stuff to attend to.”

 

“Ah, okay, bye Sana!” Jihyo said as Sana walked out the door.

 

The JYP trainee just hugged Dahyun again. “Aaaahhhhh, what's this for?”

 

The blonde was blushing, in which Jihyo noted. “I just wanted to hug you, my Dubu.”

 

“I-I see...” Dahyun hugged her back.

 

------------------------------

 

May 2nd, 2018. 11:31 AM.

 

Jeongyeon was at the mall, looking at the aquarium. She was surprised when two very familiar figures joined her. It was Dahyun and Jihyo, who were holding hands.

 

“Oh, hey, Jeongyeonnie.” The blonde said.

 

Jeongyeon saw they were holding hands, and smirked. “Holding hands in public? Hooowwww riskyyy...”

 

“Yaahh, you're starting that already?” Jihyo said annoyed.

 

“I'm just messing with you two.” The older girl smiled. “It's good to see you.”

 

“Of course.” The JYP trainee replied. “Oh! I got something I want to tell you!”

 

“Really? What is it?” Jeongyeon asked.

 

“I'm biual,” Jihyo announced proudly.

 

“Oh, so now we're twinning! How cute.” Jeongyeon replied.

 

“Also, I told Sana before you.” The JYP trainee said.

 

“YOU WHAT!?” The older girl overdramatically put her hand to her chest. “THE BETRAYAL!”

 

Jihyo started to giggle, while Jeongyeon just smiled. “It's cool, honestly. I had that little feeling anyways, so thanks for confirming it.”

 

“Sana and Dahyun both said that,” Jihyo replied.

 

“We're able to detect someone like us!” Dahyun said. “I can't believe you've just now heard of it!”

 

“Of course... hey, Jeongyeon, you wanna spend time with me?” The JYP trainee asked.

 

“Nah, I'd rather spend time with a cactus.” Jeongyeon sarcastically said. “Of course I want to spend time with you two, you idiot! You're my best friends!”

 

Jeongyeon walked over to the two girls.

 

------------------------------

 

1:28 PM.

 

At lunch break, Tzuyu and Chaeyoung were sitting on their spot next to the fountain. The younger girl stared at the fountain, watching as the water pours out from the structure in the middle, into the pool at the bottom. The orange-haired girl spoke up.

 

“Tzuyu, what's wrong?” Chaeyoung asked.

 

The younger girl snapped out of her trance. “I-It's nothing.”

 

Chae frowned. “No, really, what's wrong?”

 

The Taiwanese girl sighed. “I trust you because you're my number two.”

 

“Ouch.” The orange-haired girl remarked. “No, seriously, I'm all ears.”

 

The younger girl looked at her. “I'm uh... I'm pretty sure that I'm gay.” The older girl just looked at her in a state of disbelief. “F-For real? Really?”

 

Tzuyu nodded. Chaeyoung was surprised. Out of all of her friends, she would have never expected Tzuyu to be gay.

 

“Um, wow... okay... that's pretty unexpected. What makes you figure so?” The older girl asked.

 

“I never really felt anything when I'm on a date with a guy, no romantic feelings, just absolutely nothing,” Tzuyu said. “And... well.... when I'm with Nayeon, I feel so many butterflies, it's crazy.”

 

“Oohhhhh my gooosshhh.... d-did you just admit that...” Chaeyoung was absolutely shocked.

 

“Yeah... I have feelings for Nayeon.” The Taiwanese girl replied. “Very romantic feelings.”

 

“T-This is... amazing!” The orange-haired girl stated. “Wowowwowowow!”

 

------------------------------

 

4:31 PM.

 

At Mina's house, the Japanese girl lied there on her couch, her eyes closed. Her dog was running around the house, occasionally stopping to drink some water. She thought about a lot of things, but more importantly... Wonpil. The keyboardist meant a lot to her, and a part of her hated herself for not revealing her past to him. While she loved that Wonpil was so understanding and patient, she also hated how much it made her feel bad. She wished to tell him about her past, but it would hurt to bring it up.

 

But, she knew Wonpil would always be there to comfort her. So, what was the hold-up? Why couldn't she tell him? Wonpil deserves to know, after sticking with her for so long.

 

------------------------------

 

6:21 PM.

 

After a long time, she finally decided that she's going to tell Wonpil today. She pulled out her phone and called the keyboardist.

 

“Hello?” The bandmate answered.

 

“Hey, Wonpil? Can you come over? I need to talk to you.” The girl asked.

 

She heard the keyboardist talking to someone in the background, but he immediately returned. “Yeah, sure. I'll be there.”

 

------------------------------

 

6:51 PM

 

After a half-hour, Wonpil finally arrived at Mina's front door. He knocked, and the girl immediately opened the door.

 

“Come in.” The Japanese girl said. The keyboardist entered the house and closed the door behind him.

 

Mina sighed. “I... I have something I need to tell you.”

 

Wonpil nodded. “You sounded really serious on the phone, is something wrong?”

 

The girl motioned for the keyboardist to sit on the couch, so he did exactly that. She soon followed and sat next to him.

 

The Japanese girl took a few moments to prepare herself but then spoke up. “I... I never really told you about my past. Not much, anyway.”

 

Wonpil immediately put a hand up. “Hey, it's okay. You don't have to tell me. The past is the past, you know?”

 

Mina shook her head. “No, you deserve to know.”

 

The keyboardist set his hand down but immediately went to hold one of Mina's hands. “Okay.”

 

Mina sighed. “My father did die back in 2013... and yes, I did leave in 2015... but there's a reason. My family has been generations upon generations of ballet dancers.”

 

The keyboardist nodded. The girl continued. “When I was a child, my mother signed me for ballet classes. At first, I thought it was exactly what I wanted. I remember, at the time, thinking that I would be the most famous ballet dancer there was... but... that never happened.”

 

The girl sighed. “Somethings happened when I got older... and.. I just couldn't take it anymore. I talked to my parents about taking me out of the class, saying that I couldn't handle it anymore, it just wasn't fun. It was hurting me..”

 

She looked down at their intertwined hands. “My father was a bit hesitant at first, but he was understanding. He respected that I could make my own decisions, so he agreed to let me leave the class...”

 

The Japanese girl's hands started to shake a little. “M-My mother didn't. She... was so angry that I wanted to leave the ballet. S-She told me that I was disgracing my family and that I would be ruining a tradition... I-I-I thought she would be accepting...”

 

Wonpil tightly held onto Mina's hand. “Mina... I'm so sorry.”

 

“T-Thank you.. but.. there's still more.”

 

The girl resisted the urge to cry, slowly feeling tears start to well up, but pushing them back as much as she could. “While my father did convince her to let me leave... my relationship with my mother was too far gone. There was no fixing it. S-She hated me... she never treated me as her daughter, instead acting like I'm some sort of disgrace. My father was the only one who loved me, he was the only one who treated my right. So.. when he died... I-I just couldn't... I spent the next two years saving up money, and once I knew it was time to leave... I took my chance.”

 

Mina paused, then continued. “Of course, mother didn't like that. She spent the whole day trying to convince me to stay, but I wanted - no, needed – to leave. S-So.. when I was at the airport, she showed her true colors again. S-She...” Her voice broke, and a tear rolled down her cheek. “S-She t-t-treated me like I w-was s-some waste of space. C-Calling me a disappointment a-a-and d-d-dis...”

 

The keyboardist immediately pulled the girl into a hug and held her tightly as she sobbed into his shoulders.

 

Since the very moment, Wonpil met Mina, he wanted nothing but the best for her. Getting to know Mina, he realized that she was a precious soul. And to hear that something horrible happened to her in her past... Now more than ever, he wanted to save Mina, and give her the happiness she deserved.

 

------------------------------

 

May 3rd, 2018. 11:51 AM.

 

Jihyo just found herself looking at Dahyun, who was busy using Jihyo's PS4. Dahyun meant so much to Jihyo. But there was something still in Jihyo's mind. The way she felt after kissing Dahyun. She abandoned that topic a while ago, but now that she's here, spending time with her... it really got her thinking.

 

As already stated, Dahyun meant so much to Jihyo. And there was so much about Dahyun that Jihyo cherished. Her smile, her laugh, her bright personality... just Dahyun herself.

 

Kim Dahyun, the light in Jihyo's life. One thing that Jihyo always look forward to every day was spending time with Dahyun. She always loved hugging the girl, cuddling her, watching funny videos and laughing with her.

 

But then recently... Dahyun made her heart pound fast. She made her feel like a lovesick puppy.

 

At first, Jihyo didn't understand why, until it all came together.

 

She first got light of this truth a couple of days ago, but she tried her hardest to deny it. They've been friends for nineteen years, she didn't want to ruin it with this new truth. But... the more time goes by, the more it becomes apparent to her.

 

Park Jihyo is in love with her best friend, Kim Dahyun.

 

Wow. Just the thought that she could finally admit it in her head. She loves Dahyun. Dahyun, the girl she spent her entire life with, is the love of her life. Jihyo loves Dahyun.

 

The girl kept on repeating that thought in her head. It felt a bit strange, but... she was okay with that. When she first started 2018, this was not how she was expecting it to be. But it's okay, she can live with that.

 

But then the anxiety returns. She knows that Dahyun likes women, but what if... Dahyun doesn't feel the same way towards Jihyo that she does towards her? Gosh, their friendship would be ruined by her confession!

 

If Jihyo wasn't such an idiot, then she would see that Dahyun feels the exact same way.

 

------------------------------

 

2:31 PM.

 

Momo closed her studio for the day and started to make her way to the park. Of course, she wasn't coming there for no reason, since Sana had called her and Seulgi over to meet up with her. The dance teacher wondered why, until she remembered that she's seen Minatozaki look up flights to Japan and other things similar to that.

 

Eventually, she had arrived at the park and saw Sana talking with Seulgi near a bench.

 

“Hey.” Momo greeted the two girls.

 

“Good, you're here,” Sana said. “Can you two please take a seat?”

 

Seulgi raised an eyebrow. “Interesting.”

 

“If you say so.” The dance teacher replied.

 

The two girls took a seat on the bench, while Sana collected her thoughts. After a couple of moments of silence, Sana sighed.

 

“I'm just going to be blunt... call me stupid if you want, but I want to go to Japan to see if I can find my father,” Sana said.

 

Immediately, the dance teacher stood up from her seat. “WHAT!? S-Seriously!?”

 

“Yeah... that's why I was so hesitant about telling you in the first place.” Minatozaki sighed. “You knew what it was like to have a good family, but I never did. And... you know, I feel like I deserve to know what my dad turned out to be, especially after all I've been through.”

 

Momo fell silent. Seulgi got up too.

 

“Well, you know... you're my friend, so of course I'll help you.” Seulgi put a thumbs up. “Hey, why don't I come with you?”

 

“R-Really?” Sana was surprised. “Are you sure?”

 

The SM trainee nodded. “Of course! That's what friends are for!”

 

The older Japanese girl just sighed to herself. While she was angry at Sana's father, she didn't want to just walk away from Sana like this. So... she'll deal with it.

 

“Yeah, I'll come with you two, then,” Momo said, pulling Sana into a hug. “After all, you're my best friend.”

 

Sana hugged her back. “Thank you...”

 

After a couple of moments of silence, Momo pulled away. “Do you know when you'll leave for Japan?”

 

“June, because that's when my mother passed. If anything, I know he will be out doing his thing at that time of month.” Sana said.

 

The other girls just nodded.

 

------------------------------

 

8:32 PM.

 

Tzuyu's parents had called the girl earlier to set up a date with her. On May 4th, Tzuyu was going to give her ultimate decision. Would she stay with Nayeon, or go back to living with her parents? For some reason, this felt like a time limit for the girl.

 

Her parents said 5:45 PM, so she had until then to truly collect her feelings about Nayeon. She did like-like Nayeon, that was the truth. All she really had to do was confess to Nayeon. She remembers telling Chaeyoung to take a shot before it's gone because she would regret it if she didn't. Funny thing is, she's scared. Maybe it's unreasonable since she knows that Nayeon would let her down easy, but she also knew that this would make things awkward between the two girls.

 

The girl lied there on the bed, thinking about everything. If she was going to confess, she needed to do it before May 4th, 5:45 PM. No pressure, right?

 

“I'm home!” Nayeon called out. Well, that's pretty inconvenient for the younger girl. She would have liked more time to think about it, but, oh well.

 

Tzuyu exited the room and saw Nayeon setting some bags down. “Hey.” The bunny girl said, sitting on the couch. The two girls looked at each other, in awkward silence. Tzuyu was thinking about whether or not to confess her feelings, while the bunny girl looked eager to say something. After a couple of more beats, the girls decided that it was go time.

 

“I need to talk to you.” They both said at the same time. Nayeon blushed and looked away, while Tzuyu put her hands behind her back.

 

“Wow... that's something else.” The bunny girl said. “Y-You go first.”

 

The Taiwanese girl was silent. She wanted to confess, but for some reason, the words wouldn't come out. Nayeon looked at her. “Okay, then I go first.” The bunny girl got up and approached the younger girl. The older girl took a deep breath, and slowly breathed out.

 

“I...” The bunny girl fell silent. “I uh...” The two girls stood there in awkward silence for what felt like an eternity, and then the younger girl spoke up.

 

“Nayeon, I'm gay.” Tzuyu bluntly stated.

 

The bunny girl was shocked. “O-Oh, is that so? T-That's...” There were a couple of moments of silence as Nayeon mentally fangirled, before collecting herself. “Just know that I'll accept you for who you are because after all, you're my best friend.”

 

The younger girl smiled. “Thank you... it really came out of nowhere. I-It still feels a bit weird, to be honest.”

 

“That how I felt too about myself, at first.” The bunny girl replied. “Just give it some time, and you'll be 100% at home with your uality.”

 

Tzuyu nodded, and then Nayeon pulled her into a hug. “Heh, shortie.”

 

The bunny girl groaned. “We get it, Eiffel tower.”

 

The younger girl pulled away. “Hey, you can tell me what you wanted to say now.”

 

Nayeon fell silent, she really did want to confess her feelings about Tzuyu right now, but... she didn't exactly want to overwhelm the girl. “F-Forget it, it's nothing.” She tried to walk to the bedroom, but Tzuyu just grabbed her wrist.

 

“Hey, you can tell me.” The Taiwanese girl said. “You are my best friend, after all.”

 

“Ahhh... it really is nothing,” Nayeon replied. “And besides, maybe we should... I dunno, celebrate that you're being honest with yourself?”

 

“It's just my ual preference, it's not that big of a deal,” Tzuyu said.

 

“Ohohoho, it is a big deal!” The bunny girl replied. “You wasted all those poor boy's times, ya know!?”

 

The Taiwanese girl rolled her eyes. “Yeah, yeah, stop changing the topic, okay? I want to hear what you need to tell me.”

 

The older girl just sighed. “I-It's... stupid. H-Honestly, it's...”

 

The younger girl reached for Nayeon's hand. “Hold my hand.”

 

“Huh?” The bunny girl was confused.

 

“Please hold my hand,” Tzuyu said again. Once again, Tzuyu was being upfront with her, and Nayeon REALLY liked that. She obliged, and just looked at their hands together.

 

“Tzuyu...?” Nayeon looked at her.

 

“Um... I found out I was gay because of... well, you.” Tzuyu said.

 

“Me?” The bunny girl asked back.

 

“I... um... like-like you.” The Taiwanese girl said with a blush.

 

“Like-li... oohhhhh...” It all clicked together for Nayeon. “As in... romantic like...?”

 

“Y-Yes,” Tzuyu replied. The bunny girl smiled at her.

 

“I like-like you too, Tzuyu,” Nayeon said.

 

“Y-You really do?” The Taiwanese girl was shocked. “Y-You're not messing with me?”

 

“Of course not! I've had feelings for you for so long!” The bunny girl admitted. “Uh... Oops!”

 

“Really? Ughh, why haven't you ever told me befo-, wait? Never mind.”

 

“Yeah, telling a supposed straight girl that you have lesbian feelings for her, that sounds like a great idea.”

 

Tzuyu just rolled her eyes. “Yeah, yeah.”

 

There was silence as the two girls stared into each other's eyes lovingly.

 

“So... does this mean you're my girlfriend now?” Tzuyu asked.

 

Nayeon just giggled. “Yeah, it does.”

 

The Taiwanese girl just pulled the bunny girl into a hug. After a couple of moments of silence, Nayeon pulled away.

 

“Hey... don't you have to move out tomorrow?” Nayeon asked.

 

“Oh, no. I'm not moving out.” Tzuyu smiled at her. “I'm staying here with you, bunny.”
