It had been a really emotional day. Sana felt a bit tired but also relieved that Momo had appeared and they could talk.

When Nayeon gathered everyone to keep Chaeyoung company and had explained what had happened she felt so embarrassed, really. No, it wasn't her fault but Momo is her friend so she felt responsible, besides, she added fuel to everything, right?

But she felt for Momo. They were best friends and they shared everything. This Mina thing was the only part Momo always kept to herself and it was frustrating because Sana could see so clearly the way she looked at the girl. So even if she got a bit mad before and then more because of what she had done to Chaeyoung, she still felt towards Momo.

And seeing her cry so regretfully last night she just wanted for everything to get better and she couldn't help but wonder if Tzuyu ever felt a bit like Momo had.

Sana knew about how Tzuyu had had this little crush on Chaeyoung for some time, but they didn't discuss it any further, there was no need. But now Sana wondered if she had felt hurt like that at some point or if she had cried over it or if she felt a bit jealous of Mina, it would be normal, right? Sana didn't mind, but she was kind of making her own heart hurt just by thinking of past Tzuyu feeling hurt. It was a bit silly.

Either way, it made her feelings for Momo aside and she left the next morning really early just to go to Tzuyu's dorm. She missed her and she knew she must be worried about Chaeyoung, right? Sana wanted to talk about it. They could help. How? She was not sure.

Another thing that Sana was not sure of was how Tzuyu always answered her texts no matter the time.

To TZUYU <3
i miss you

From TZUYU <3
sober? did you sleep well? where?

To TZUYU <3
you are awake
come outside

See? She always answered especially when Sana needed her the most. Tzuyu didn't reply. Sana just waited for a couple of minutes outside her door when she appeared.

Sana hurried to wrap her arms around her. "Hey, you." She gave her a tight hug, taking in her scent.

Tzuyu held her and when Sana let go, she just leaned down as usual for Sana to leave a quick kiss making the girl smile. "You are in the same clothes as yesterday."

"I slept with Momo," Sana said and intertwined their hands so they could walk to her room. She knew Tzuyu preferred to be there since they could be alone and quiet.

Tzuyu hummed and Sana could feel she didn't like the mention of the girl. But she asked either way, "Is she okay?"

"Not really." Sana really liked how Tzuyu asked that even if she knew how mad she was at her. "That's why I slept there."

"And you left Nayeon alone with her, she won't live much."

Sana chuckled. "They'll be okay." That reminded her, "I really like Nayeon."

"Date her then." Tzuyu let go of her hand but they kept walking. 'Jealous puppy'

Sana grabbed her hand again, they were still walking to her room. "We should have a double date with them," she said referring to Nayeon and Jeongyeon.

"No way," Tzuyu accepted her hand but kept complaining, "they're old."

Sana frowned. She was almost the same age as them. "Do you realize-"

"No, no," Tzuyu hurried, "you are different from them."

Sana just laughed a bit. Tzuyu was being such a kid acting all bothered about going out with them. "Right, okay," She agreed and they just kept walking until they arrived at her dorm.

When they got inside, Tzuyu quickly hurried to curl up on Sana's bed and took out her phone. "Change clothes, I'll wait here," she said.

"Alright," Sana smiled. She stared a bit at her girlfriend before moving, Tuzyu looked so beautiful just lying there.

"Go." She heard Tzuyu again. So she did. Tzuyu just took her breath away too easily but she got back to her task and simply started doing what she always did before getting a shower.

It was nice, taking a shower. But she was still thinking about Momo and Chaeyoung and Mina and Tzuyu. Especially Tzuyu. She had not said anything about it, didn't she want to talk about it? Was she okay? She is usually so worried about her friends, especially Chaeyoung.

So Sana didn't take long getting out of the shower. Wrapped in a towel she left the bathroom and looked for her clothes at the feet of her bed. Turning to look at Tzuyu, they made eye contact and Tzuyu looked flushed. 'cute' Sana just removed her towel staying only in her underwear ready to put on her clothes and that's when Tzuyu broke eye contact turning around hiding her face on the bed. Sana just giggled and finished putting on some comfortable pants and a hoodie Tzuyu had left the other day.

Sitting on the bed next to where Tzuyu was lying she started her hair. "You okay?" Sana wanted to talk about stuff.

Tzuyu stopped hiding her face and turned to look at her. Patting the space next to her. "Come down." Sana obeyed and Tzuyu immediately snuggled closer to her.

It was nice, Sana had missed her, but she was still thinking so many things, "Yesterday was bad." That was a good start.

Tzuyu got closer and went to her neck, slowly brushing it with her nose. "Mhh," she hummed.

"Do you think they talked about it?" Sana just put her hand on Tzuyu's back as a response.

"Don't know," she whispered.

It tickled but Sana was not paying much attention to her actions. "Do you think Chaeyoung's okay?"

"Maybe." Tzuyu left a kiss.

"Chaeyoung seemed fine but I feel she might fall apart any second now, if they don't fix this, how do you see her?" Tzuyu ignored her question and left another kiss. "Should we do something for her?" Sana wanted to help and also to know how Tzuyu felt about it. "Both of them." Tzuyu just hummed again. So Sana kept talking, "Chaeyoung is-"

"Would you stop talking about her?" Moving from her neck, Tzuyu looked at Sana.

"But you always talk about her," Sana objected.

"Yes, but not when I'm ," Tzuyu said.

"Well, but-" 'Oh' Sana now acknowledged Tzuyu's words, "Y-you uh,"

"Oh, c'mon, you never lose your words and now you do over this."

Sana smiled at her. "Well, can't I be mesmerized by my sweet girlfriend's straightforwardness?"

Tzuyu just frowned. "No."

'Adorable' But then Sana took in her words again. "Do you really feel like that?"

"Yes," Tzuyu pouted this time, and getting her face closer to Sana's she added, "make it better." She used her nose once again to brush Sana's cheek this time.

'wow' Sana couldn't believe this. It was so surreal. Tzuyu was always surprising her, going from zero to hundred real quick. She couldn't help but blush a bit, having Tzuyu all over her but asking her this in such a cute way too.

"So you missed me?" Sana and Tzuyu hummed again, she was really focused on rubbing her nose like a puppy on Sana's cheek and snuggling closer.

Sana just giggled at her and moved one hand to lift her face and guided her to her lips. She could feel Tzuyu smiling. But soon enough, as usual, the girl took control of the kiss and also the pace. But Sana always let her. And something about Tzuyu being all clingy and bold had made her forget completely about everything she wanted to talk about moments ago.

It was really nice, though. And Tzuyu was not rushed at all. She was kissing Sana so tenderly. Sana wondered if she actually was  as she had claimed. 'She must have used that word to tease me, she is just being cute and needy' Sana got lost thinking but then Tzuyu stopped kissing her.

She was really close to her face, though, and was looking down at her with such admiration. "I like it when you use my clothes," Tzuyu said. 'oh, so that's what you are admiring'

Then Tzuyu grabbed the hem of the hoodie Sana was wearing. "You want to take it off, don't you?" Tzuyu nodded aggressively at Sana's question, it was so cute. Sana just laughed a bit and helped her to take it off. She was not sure, but maybe it was their make-out session from yesterday, right? That was making Tzuyu act like this now. Either way, it was great, and she had indeed learned a lot because she was being so slow and it was making Sana enjoy it all so much more.

They really fitted. So they just kept kissing and laughing and teasing each other more than usual until it was midday and they had to get up to meet Dahyun for lunch.

"Let's ask her to bring food here." Tzuyu was now pulling from Sana's hand, who was with all her clothes again and had got up to leave.

"Why?" Sana pulled her hand too but trying to get Tzuyu to leave the bed. "We agreed to see her there, let's go." She talked really softly to Tzuyu trying to make her change her mind. The girl was all over her today and even if they had already spent hours together in bed, she didn't want to leave for lunch.

Tzuyu just groaned and pulled again. Sana laughed but used her other hand to try and lift Tzuyu. "You'll stay alone and I'll have a great time with Dahyun, are you sure you want to stay?"

At that Tzuyu got up immediately, making Sana almost lose balance since she was pulling from her but Tzuyu held her waist. "I wanted you to stay with me," she frowned.

Sana just reached for her lips. "Let's go."

Tzuyu sighed but they left. It was just their usual lunch at the cafeteria, Sana would've probably let Tzuyu stay with her. Since Dahyun could have lunch with any of the other girls, especially Momo. But now that was not very possible, so it was probably just going to be the three of them.

Sana had whispered to Momo this morning that she was leaving and to talk to her for anything, still, she was not sure Momo would want to see any of the other girls yet, right? She probably should text her to check if she had eaten or something.

"Good afternoon, lovebirds," Dahyun greeted them. They had grabbed their food and headed to the table she was already at.

"Did you have your class?" Tzuyu asked her once they had sat.

"Yeah, unfortunately, but I'm almost done with everything," Dahyun answered taking some of her food and putting one hand under in case it fell, "Here try this, you'll like it," she said. Tzuyu moved forward and ate it.

"Mhh, that's really good, I should've got some."

"Just take from mine."

Sana was watching them interact as if it was the most interesting thing ever. She really liked seeing Tzuyu happy and sharing with her friends, especially Dahyun, because even if they were bickering with each other all the time, their friendship was truly something.

Then her thoughts were interrupted by how Tzuyu slapped Dahyun's hand that was apparently offering some of it to her just like she had done with Tzuyu. Instead, Tzuyu took some and gave it to Sana who even though surprised just received the food with .

"You can't be serious," Dahyun protested and then laughed at her.

Sana laughed too but she was still going to complain, "Tzuyu."

"What?" She frowned. "She can't feed you."

"You are cute," Sana explained, "but she can feed me. It really is tasty, Dahyun, thank you." Dahyun raised her brows at Tzuyu in victory and smiled at Sana.

"Tzuyu you have to stop being so possessive, see," Dahyun kept eating and talking, "it's not attractive."

"Whatever." Tzuyu rolled her eyes at her and focused on her own food. Sana just shook her head and exchanged funny looks with Dahyun. Both of them knew Tzuyu was just playing, and they continue eating and talking occasionally.

Sana wondered if Momo had talked with Dahyun or whatever, and she also wanted to ask what she had previously wanted to ask Tzuyu and just know how she felt with all this. So she was about to ask Dahyun since that could lead easily to Tzuyu wanting to talk more when her phone that was on top of the table started vibrating.

"Oh, you call each other now," Tzuyu said. The phone had an incoming call from Nayeon.

"Yeah, we are best friends," Sana replied with excitement just to annoy her. Grabbing her phone she answered, "Hi, bestie."

"Who?" She heard Dahyun asking.

"She got drunk with Nayeon."

"Uh, fun," Dahyun smiled and turned to Sana, "I wanna be there next time."

Sana just winked at her and focused on the call.

"Oh, we are besties now?" She heard Nayeon asking happily.

"Yeah, it makes Tzuyu roll her eyes." She knew Nayeon would love that.

"Oh, then it's perfect, I- wait, wait I'm getting off track here." Nayeon sounded more serious now, "I called hoping you're not busy, are you?"

"We are just finishing with lunch, what happened? Please tell me you didn't kill Momo."

"Not yet, but now I-" Nayeon sighed, she sounded frustrated and tired. "Could you possibly come to Chaeyoung's room?"

"Chaeyoung's?" At that, both girls at the table took more interest in her call.

"You have like a gift or something, just, please, honestly I'm not made for this, uh, just get here," she said.

Sana didn't understand but she got worried so she just accepted. "Okay, I'll go, just wait."

"Thank you, see you." Nayeon ended the call.

"What is it?" Tzuyu asked real quick and Sana got relieved to see her worried once again. Just for a second, now they needed to leave.

"She didn't say, but she asked me to go to her room, come on," she said getting up. Dahyun and Tzuyu followed.

No one asked anything on their way to Chaeyoung's room and they got there in no time. Nayeon opened the door for them immediately.

"What happened?" Tzuyu was the first one to speak.

Nayeon led them in. "Honestly, I'm not sure," she explained, "this morning she texted me saying that Mina had left so I said I was coming here but I was not expecting to find uh, this."

'Mina left' Sana felt like taking her phone and texting her, and Momo too. She had left for real, the room was practically empty. But first, 'what happened to her?' Chaeyoung was in bed hiding under the covers. "But..."

"She won't talk to me," Nayeon said. "I understand she left but she won't tell me anything else and when I got here she was crying and I guess she's almost like sleeping now but the thing is, she has an exam in like an hour and she doesn't want to go." Nayeon seemed mad at her but really worried at the same time.

"She has to go," Tzuyu said.

"I know," Nayeon sighed. "But look." She moved closer to where Chaeyoung was lying and shook her.

"Just go, " Chaeyoung answered. Sana felt bad immediately, Chaeyoung sounded so hurt.

"Chaeyoung, please, at least tell us what happened, or not, maybe not, but just get up and don't ruin your academic life over this."

Nayeon was so done with this, Sana understood now why she had called. "I won't go, I-" Chaeyoung tried to speak but couldn't.

"See?" Nayeon moved away again. "I tried."

Dahyun hummed and took a step forward, "Okay, I got this," she said and moved to where Nayeon had been. "Chaeyoungie." She pulled the covers down in a quick movement leaving Chaeyoung exposed. "C'mon, we are not like this," she threw her body now on top of tiny Chaeyoung who was trying to get under the covers again, "there are so many other options," she explained and Chaeyoung was just whining and trying to hide her face. But Dahyun insisted, "Yeah, she was pretty, okay maybe she was gorgeous, but you are Son Chaeyoung! Even Sana had a crush on you!" At that Tzuyu took mercy on poor Chaeyoung and moved to pull Dahyun out. Sana made a mental note to discuss these possessive jealous reactions of her. It was being a bit too much today.

"Okay, Dahyun, that won't work." Tzuyu managed easily to set Chaeyoung free.

"I was not done yet."

Sana decided to interfere, "That's okay, you made her mad, that's something." Sana pointed at Chaeyoung who was now looking at Dahyun frowning. She looked so small but fierce. It was weird, she could either jump you any second or burst out crying. "Chaeyoungie," Sana said softly sitting on top of the bed next to her. "We just want to help, alright? Have you been alone since last night?"

"Kind of." Chaeyoung sniffed and looked down.

"So now you talk," Nayeon complained.

'These people' Sana wondered why they were like that, it was not that hard to be delicate, sensitive, or measure a bit your words when dealing with feelings. Still, she didn't mind helping. "Did you talk?" Sana asked again calmly, ignoring Nayeon's frustration.

Chaeyoung was still looking down, Sana could tell she was hesitating so she grabbed her hand reassuringly. It worked. "She was gone when I got here last night... then this morning she was here." Sana saw how saying that brought bad memories.

Sana could also tell that Chaeyoung was not going to talk much if they just kept asking what had happened and how she felt because clearly she was not okay and Nayeon had probably tried all that, so she used another approach. "Was Mina okay?"

Hearing that, Chaeyoung used her hands to hide her face again. It hurt, Sana got closer to hug her immediately. Yesterday Chaeyoung seemed so confident, ready to fix things, full of hope, and now, what could have happened. "She-" Chaeyoung was trying to hold her tears.

"That's okay, you can cry," Sana said and tried to remove her hands from her face still hugging her with one arm. Chaeyoung just let her. She was trying to breathe properly.

After a few seconds she talked again, a bit clearer, "She is not, she- She told her mom."

'oh, no' Sana knew Mina's mom. When they were roommates, she got the pleasure of meeting her one day, it was not nice. And Momo has also told her about her, nice things mostly, for some reason the woman thinks Momo is just wonderful, but Momo of course knew about how she treats Mina and how she feels regarding same- relationships and stuff. Mina telling her about her relationship with Chaeyoung couldn't have gone any good.

"She did?" Nayeon was worried. "Oh, Chaeyoungie." She got closer again and hugged Chaeyoung real tight, the girl accepted quickly so Sana moved and Chaeyoung let go of everything she was holding and just sobbed in Nayeon's shoulder.

"It's over, it's really over, "Chaeyoung talked between sobs, "she can't - She can't- I know, I know that."

Nayeon answered and Chaeyoung kept crying. Sana turned her attention to Tzuyu. The whole scene was being so much, she wanted to see how she was feeling. Tzuyu looked really worried but she was looking away and Dahyun had her hand.

"They were here," she heard Chaeyoung talking again, "I thought she had returned, but she wasn't alone and-and I tried to explain I had not cheated on her but I don't know if she believed me, and then she apologized."

"For what?" Nayeon had sat on the bed like Sanas. Beside Chaeyoung, who was still supporting her head on Nayeon's shoulder.

She took a few seconds now before answering, "For... for getting confused, for-It was a mistake, she made a mistake, I'm a mistake."

"You are not a mistake," Tzuyu hurried to say. And Chaeyoung moved from Nayeon's shoulder and gave Tzuyu a weak smile. Sana smiled a bit too.

"She is right, Chaeyoungie, you are not a mistake," Nayeon wiped her tears. "Now, I'm sure you know she didn't mean it."

"But what if she did?"

"She didn't." Sana knew that.

"But what if she did, what if she got so scared again and realized she was wrong, we were wrong, we-"

"Chaeyoung, you can't be possibly saying that," Nayeon frowned at her.

"I don't want to, I don't want to feel that, but I don't know what to believe anymore, because every time I feel I can fix things or like we were making progress then, then I end up feeling worse."

"You knew, you knew from the start it was going to be hard." Nayeon was talking a bit serious to her now but Chaeyoung was listening. "I told you not to feel, but you always do what you want, don't you? Now, it's okay, that's okay because you are amazing, got it? So you felt, you felt so much that now it hurts as much, and that's totally understandable, but Chaeyoung," Nayeon held Chaeyoung's cheeks to look at her eyes, "you can't let all that shape your life now, you can be sad, yes, but you can't let it destroy you, so, we have some minutes, you have to get up and do your test."

It was a nice speech, Sana was about to clap for Nayeon, but the ending, the ending just ruined everything and you could tell by how Chaeyoung shook her head and moved away. Sana knew Nayeon intended well, of course, but her delivery was not the best. 'tactless'

"No, no I can't."

"Oh, god," Nayeon sighed got away again grabbing her own head, "I thought I had it."

"I just don't want to, there's no point, it's all over, everything." Chaeyoung was not seeing clearly, she was too immersed thinking inside the problem, Sana knew. Chaeyoung didn't have the perspective they could have. It was hard, she got that.

"Okay, then you just lose a semester over a girl, just-"

"Nayeon," Sana interrupted.

"What?! She is the one-"

"She is hurting-"

"But she has to-"

Sana wanted to stop Nayeon from saying those things, but they ended up fighting each other, and that's when Tzuyu talked.

"Could you guys leave?"

It made Nayeon and Sana stop. "What? Why?" Nayeon asked. Sana just looked attentively.

"I'll talk to her, please, just wait outside." Tzuyu sounded serious. Dahyun smiled at her and turned to leave immediately, letting go of her hand.

Nayeon instead was hesitant, "But..."

Sana caught Tzuyu's eyes and understood she really wanted to be alone so she grabbed Nayeon's hand and got out too, not before giving a reassuring smile to her girlfriend that seemed a bit nervous but quite determined.

Nayeon tried to speak again on their way out, so Sana used a hand to cover and only released her when they were outside. "I don't have a gift, you are all just tactless."

"I'm not," Nayeon complained, "I'm just tired, you didn't deal with Mina acting all infatuated and stuff like Chaeyoung, you only got this part, I've been dealing with everything from the start."

Sana couldn't believe that. "Everything? I was the one who knew about them first and had to keep it a secret, besides, I might not have got Mina acting like that, but she was so mean to me while dealing with her own issues, you didn't get that." It was not a game of who had got the worst part, Sana knew, but she fell for it either way.

"Now, why would you shut me, we need her to go do that test, time is running out."

Dahyun cleared before speaking, "Hey, calm down, we all know Tzuyu is quiet, but when she speaks, she speaks, I trust her, don't you?" She directed the question to Nayeon. "She knows what she is doing."

Sana just smiled at her and could see how Nayeon just bit her lip. "You are right, you are right, I know that. I do trust her. I'm sorry guys, sorry, Sana. I just hate seeing Chaeyoung like that," she sighed.

"See, it's okay." Dahyun continued, "We know Mina was-"

"Yah, Kim Dahyun, stop talking about Mina like she's died." Sana noticed she did it earlier too, talking to Chaeyoung. "She just left."

"But they broke up."

"That doesn't mean she doesn't exist anymore, and also, I'm sure it wasn't her choice."

"Do you think she is okay?" Nayeon seemed calmer.

"Not really, she herself still hates parts of her, with her mom being mean too, she must be a mess."

Dahyun and Nayeon kept talking but Sana got distracted and used the time to text Mina. She knew that it was quite possible not to get an answer but still.

"But why would she say anything?" She heard Dahyun asking.

"We all expect to belong, to fit in, she must've been feeling so lost and betrayed she just wanted approval, her mother's comfort, I don't know," Nayeon said. She seemed to be thinking about it.

"But there was no need."

"Probably not, but she might have thought that it was the best decision at that moment, or at least what she wanted to do, and that's it." Sana felt better now that Nayeon was not in her mood from before, and looked understanding of Mina's situation. Although she could still see how she checked the time on her phone, Chaeyoung only had some minutes to get it together.

"Sana..." Suddenly Dahyun said to her, but it sounded different from how she usually talked. "Uh, is Momo okay?" Sana had got worried about what she was going to say, but it was just that. She found it cute even. Dahyun looked both shy and afraid of probably asking that in front of Nayeon who was frowning at her at the mention of Momo.

"She feels really sorry, Dahyunnie," Sana said. "She hasn't talked to you? I'll tell her you asked."

"No, no," Dahyun smiled. "That's okay, I just... wanted to know."

Nayeon now had a different expression and caught Sana looking at her. Without talking, Sana realized they were thinking the same thing; Dahyun was not just worried. But before anyone could say something else, the door opened.

Chaeyoung got out looking down. She just stopped for a second and then just walked out of the building a bit faster.

Tzuyu got out too and closed the door. "She asked me to say sorry for her."

"You got it, Tzuyu! You're awesome." Dahyun said excitedly. Tzuyu just smiled a bit and looked down.

"I just got her to go do the test, we still should check on her."

"Yeah, of course, thank you, Tzuyu," Nayeon said. "Right then, I'll be going to Jeong's room now, are you guys coming or...?"

"I can't now," Dahyun said.

"Tzuyu and I will be in my room," Sana answered for Tzuyu. "Don't doubt in calling again if you need anything."

"Will do, bestie," Nayeon said and got closer to hug Sana. "I'm really sorry for arguing with you." Nayeon pouted.

Sana smiled. "It's okay, just admit you are tactless."

"Never," she said releasing her and turning to Tzuyu and Dahyun she added, "Thank you, kids, you'll take care of Chaeyoungie, right? Don't get in trouble." She smiled at Tzuyu one last time, who was rolling her eyes at her words, and then walked away.

"You see? She calls us kids, you don't," Tzuyu complained to Sana once Nayeon was out of sight.

"Because you are my girlfriend, dummy, if you were a kid, I'll be in trouble."

"You can call me kid, I don't mind," Dahyun said as if that was the issue.

Sana wanted to laugh at her, Dahyun never seemed to get the point of things. Her way of processing things was really special. "I don't want to call kid any of you," Sana tried to explain.

Tzuyu put a hand on Dahyun's shoulder. "Just go, kid."

Dahyun seemed confused for a second but then smiled again and said goodbye. Sana and Tzuyu went back to Sana's room.

Once they got inside Sana kept in silence, just to give Tzuyu the opportunity to talk. They should talk, right? Sana felt something was off. But Tzuyu didn't say anything, at least not related to what Sana wanted to talk about.

"Are we going out later?"

Tzuyu was by the window, she probably spoke just because the silence was odd. She was avoiding Sana's gaze. So Sana walked to be close to her and moved her head holding her chin.

Sana just looked at her tenderly, waiting for her words. But Tzuyu kept looking away. " Tzuyu..." Sana said. Tzuyu just sighed. "This morning, was that you trying to distract me from the topic?" Tzuyu nodded but didn't say anything else. "Why?" Sana asked.

Tzuyu took a while and then slowly hugged Sana. "Sorry."

"Why don't you want to talk about it?"

"It's silly."

Sana pushed Tzuyu away carefully, to try and catch her eyes again. "It's what you and I do, we talk."

Tzuyu grabbed her hands. That was good, it meant she was debating with her thoughts so Sana waited.

"I... I didn't want you to think that I still like her." It was simple and clear. Sana was not expecting that to be the reason.

"Why would I think that?"

"If I showed how worried I was over it, maybe you would think that, I don't want you to think that. I like you." Tzuyu talked a bit fast and left Sana's hands to hide in her neck again. "And I'm so worried about her, I feel embarrassed."

Sana moved her away again. "Why would you feel embarrassed?" Sana got her body closer and fixed Tzuyu's hair. "That is indeed really silly." She smiled at her. "I know you like me, I don't doubt that, I won't." Sana reached to leave a kiss on her forehead. "I am worried too, it's okay. I was actually worried about you not looking like it."

"So it's okay?"

"I'm hurt you don't know that already," Sana pouted. "Of course it's okay. One of the things I like the most about you is how much you worry and care for your friends, even if Chaeyoung's special, I won't doubt your feelings over that."

Tzuyu moved forward to have their foreheads together. "Thank you."

"That's better, see? And without taking my clothes off." At that Tzuyu turned around probably with her face all red. Sana surrounded her waist from behind. "Don't ever be afraid of talking to me, alright?"

Tzuyu grabbed the hands that were surrounding her and Sana who had thought they had already talked about the issue, realized Tzuyu was not done. The girl removed her hands and before turning to face Sana again she took a deep breath. "I told her."

Sana felt the nervousness in Tzuyu's voice, but she hadn't released her hands. "You told her...?" She just smiled tenderly at her and tilted her head looking for her eyes as always.

This time Tzuyu did look directly at her. "I explained that... sometimes people believe they're doing something thinking it's what they need or want and can't see anything else." Tzuyu paused and pulled from her hands so they could sit on the bed, Sana followed. "I explained that...I got to a point in my life where I wouldn't worry much about myself or realized I was not doing the best for myself because everything I did, thought, or felt was for her." Tzuyu was saying all this really calmly and carefully.

Sana understood now what she was talking about, she had felt like asking how she had got Chaeyoung to get it together, but then realized it didn't really matter. Hearing this now, she had most definitely not thought about this being what Tzuyu used.

"She didn't understand what I was talking about, but she must have been pretending, right? She must have known by then, the girls for sure told her." Tzuyu smiled a bit. "But I followed along either way and explained, that I had the most annoying crush on her for so long, you-" She let out a laugh. "You should have seen her face, I felt so much better saying it, but the thing is, I told her all that so she could see that I got nothing out of waiting and acting like I thought was best even when everyone was screaming at my face something else." Tzuyu seemed to be thinking now. "I know it was a weird comparison, but I wanted her to react quickly, and also she could feel a bit of guilt, right? That way she was going to do her test if I asked, it worked."

Sana waited to see if Tzuyu was going to say something else. But she didn't. "You are really random, you know that right?"

"I've been told, yeah."

"Did she say anything?"

"We talked, yes. I don't know if it actually got to her or if it was because of all the emotions she had been feeling, but she cried a bit." Sana liked the way Tzuyu was telling her all this, like recalling a funny event. And that she looked comfortable sharing all this. "So yeah, we talked, we hugged, I forced her to go, she agreed but I don't think she'll be okay anytime soon, I just got her to go, she'll probably be crying again later..." Tzuyu didn't share what they had talked about, and even if Sana was a bit curious, it was enough with this. More than enough.

"And you?" Sana asked. "Are you feeling okay now?"

Tzuyu got closer to Sana and surrounded her waist. Making eye contact she whispered, "Yes because you know I like you and only you."

"And I'm really lucky to be the girl you like." Sana brushed Tzuyu's nose with her own. "You don't have to act all possessive, today you've been on another level about that." Sana used the opportunity to mention that, with everything Tzuyu had explained, she must have been acting like that to make it really clear that she liked her.

Tzuyu didn't move away from her face, they were really close, but she closed her eyes and got flushed. "Sorry," she said. And then opening her eyes she added, "But I am like that, so I'm not really sorry..." Tzuyu smiled shyly and was now looking at Sana's lips.

"Then reduce it." Sana ignored the way Tzuyu was looking at her.

"Sana."

"Yes?" Tzuyu's voice was a bit serious, she was still looking at her like before.

"I am really, really attracted to you." Sana could feel how Tzuyu was holding her waist firmly now, she liked that so much. "And this morning... I really liked the way we...uh, kissed." Tzuyu lost her confidence with every word, it was cute and Sana bit her lip trying not to laugh, Tzuyu did more than just kiss her this morning. Tzuyu had asked things and Sana had guided her. It was great, it was new for Sana too, to be with someone like that, someone who touched her so innocently but with eagerness, who doubted her every action but wanted to learn. Every tender caress, every gentle timid kiss Tzuyu had left on her body had made her feel so happy. It had been really nice. "And I know you've been with other people so you probably expect more, but uh, I- That's- I wanted to thank you for being so patient with me and letting me go at my own pace and-"

"God, stop being so cute!" Sana couldn't let her finish, she just pushed her fast against the bed and attacked her face with kisses all over. They laughed and she explained to Tzuyu that there was no need to thank her. Of course she was going to let Tzuyu go at her own pace, no matter how hard it was getting since Tzuyu dared to wander more and more, Sana knew the girl took her time with everything, she liked that, she liked Tzuyu so much so it was just perfect.

After that, they stayed there, they took a nap, they ate, and then it was time for Tzuyu to leave.

"Aren't you staying?" Sana wanted her to stay, it was really nice sleeping with her.

"I don't want to leave Dahyun alone."

That reminded Sana what Dahyun had asked before. So she decided to ask about it. "She caught feelings, didn't she?"

"Caught?" Tzuyu asked. "They were always there."

That confused Sana. "Always? But she seemed so fine around her."

"That's how Dahyun is," Tzuyu explained. "Most people only see what she portrays to the world but it's so much more, you may never really know what she's thinking, but one thing for sure, she's been feeling since that day at the party, it's not a big deal, though, she was fine with everything, it's just now she was not expecting any of this, well, just like neither of us but it kind of got to her, she is fine just confused... so yeah, I can't stay."

"You are the best friend ever, did you know that?" Sana asked her with a smile. She really liked when Tzuyu surprised her with her words. How Dahyun felt was unexpected for her, though. "You should go, then, and tell her Momo will be fine."

Tzuyu shook her head. "These two have really bad taste." Sana laughed immediately at that.

"Don't say that," she scolded Tzuyu still laughing, "They're my friends." Momo and Mina were not a bad option, just a difficult one.

Tzuyu laughed too. "Oh, you know what I mean."

"Well, yeah, I do."

"Alright, then." Tzuyu hugged her one last time and she kissed her goodbye before she left.

Sana was really happy about everything they had talked about. And felt relieved that Tzuyu was indeed worried about both of her friends, and even had asked about Momo. That left only one person.

Mina.

Checking her phone she still didn't have an answer. She really wanted to know about Mina. She was sure her troubled friend was not having the greatest time at home. How could she? Sana hated the situation, Mina was only going to lose everything she had achieved and it was not fair. Sana fell asleep that night wishing for the world to change just a bit, a bit enough so everyone could be happy and free. And also, even if with the whole Mina coming out to her mom and stuff, the things Momo had done took a second place, she hoped for her friend to be brave enough to apologize and connect with her emotions so she couldn't hurt more people. 'I know, I know things will get better' They could only get better, right? Hitting rock bottom, you can only go up now.
