'We have to break up Jeongyeon. I want to be an actress'

"Sana! Sana wake up" oh no who is it?!

She opened her eyes and groaned, while looking around not fully awake to see who ruined her sleep. She was in the car. "Sana come on! Let's go, we will be late for the plane" her manager spoke.

Sana was working in Japan for more than a year. She had to play in a drama. She's going back to South Korea now.

"Tzuyu, can I just sleep five minutes?" Sana whined she was so sleepy. She haven't slept well lately because of how busy she was. Filming her new drama, interviews, fan meetings, a lot of things.

"No, you can't let's go now" Tzuyu retorted. She's so serious.

Sana frowned as she grabbed her purse. She took her lip gloss and applied some.

It's airport time, a lot of fans are here. She could see them through the window.

"Are you ready?" Tzuyu asked as Sana nodded. Tzuyu opened the door and they walked out.

She could hear her fans shouting, She waved at them and stood for photographers to take pictures of her.

Moments later Tzuyu informed her to walk with the bodyguards around her. It was so crowded.

Sana managed to smile through it and get out of that. She waved for the last time to her japaneese fans and walked to her plane.

'Thank God no pushing today' She sighed deeply.

Sana decided to take a nap so she closed her eyes with Tzuyu beside her.

'Here open your mouth' Jeongyeom smiled as she brought the food to her girlfriend's mouth but it was hot.

Jeongyeon loved to cook and bake and Sana loved to try them all to make her happy.

'Oh sorry' she blew on it and put the piece food in her lover's mouth.

'This is my favorite now' Sana's eyes lit up making her lover smile happily.

Again Sana felt someone waking her up."Sana, we arrived" Tzuyu informed.

'Weird, why am I dreaming of her? It's been four years since I last saw her'

"Tzuyu"

Her manager faced her. They were in the car now driving to Sana's mansion.

"What?" Tzuyu frowned.

"Can we please take a walk? I'm tired of staying inside cars and planes. Let me get some fresh air" Sana asked, the tiredness was so obvious on her face.

Tzuyu nodded in understanding. "But-"

The actress cut her off "Yes, I will wear my mask and cap," 

The manager nodded as she stopped the driver to stay there until they come back.

Sana put on her cap and mask and then left the car with Tzuyu.

They walked in the street. Sana had her mask on mouth only to breath in the fresh air from her nose. 'Feels so good. I miss walking freely'

The weather is so nice today, sunny with cool breeze. 'I really needed this walk. I feel much better and relaxed now'

As they were walking Sana smelled something familiar. She smiled and remembered the old days.

'Smells just like the once she used to bake for me' .

"Tzuyu, are you smelling it as well?"

Tzuyu nodded.

"Can we go there? I really want to eat" Tzuyu sighed as she rolled her eyes.

"Fine, we eat and leave"

"Okay"

The closer the actress walked, the happier she got. It felt so right to be there.

'I wonder what she's doing and where she is right now. It's been such a long time'

And they finally arrived. Sana lifted her head to read the name "230 bakery"

'230? What a coinsedense'

They entered the bakery café. Sana sat somewhere people wouldn't spot her and Tzuyu walked to order.

There wasn't many people there, Sana took off her mask and took a deep breath. When Tzuyu came back Sana told her she needs to use the restroom so she grabbed her cap and walked. As she made her way to the restroom she bumped into the waitress. She was about to turn around to see who it was, "I'm sorry" the waitress bowed and apologized few times.

Sana's eyes widned.

'This voice. No way'

She turned and heart sank. It was her ex-girlfriend, Jeongyeon. They hadn't seen each other in years, not since their breakup. Sana tried to keep her cool, but she could feel her heart racing. She didn't know what to say to her. Jeongyeon looked just as surprised to see her as she was to see her.

"Sana??," the older said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Hi," Sana replied, trying to sound casual.

There was an awkward silence between them, and Sana realized that she was still holding her breath. She exhaled slowly and tried to calm herself down.

"How have you been?" Jeongyeon asked, breaking the silence after they sat down alone.

"I've been good," Sana replied. "Busy with work, you know."

Jeongyeon nodded with a tiny smile. "Yeah, I've seen your movies. You're doing great."

"Thanks," the younger replied, feeling a little more relaxed now that they were making small talk.

They chatted for a few more minutes, catching up on each other's lives until Tzuyu came and told Sana that they need to leave because some people spotted Sana.

They stood up in front of each other. Jeongyeon smiled lightly and she stretched out her hand for a handshake. "It was so nice to see you after a while"

"It was great seeing you too" Sana took her hand and smiled.

Jeongyeon and Sana were enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. They were sitting on a picnic mat, laughing and having fun. Jeongyeon took out a box of cookies she had baked earlier that day and handed them to Sana with a sweet smile on her face. The younger couldn't resist the delicious smell of the cookies and eagerly grabbed one. She took a bite and let out a contented sigh. Jeongyeon beamed with pride as she watched her enjoy her baking.

"I love it!" Sana told her lover. The older reached her face and smiled, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek. "I'm glad you like it, my love"

As the famous actress sat in her car, she couldn't help but think about the past. Meeting Jeongyeon made the memories come flooding back.

She remembered the day she broke up with her. She had always wanted to be an actress, and she knew that if she stayed with Jeongyeon, she would never achieve her dreams. She wanted to begin from zero.

It was hard for Jeongyeon but she couldn't stop Sana from achieving her dreams. She promised that she would support her dreams.

Sana couldn't help but wonder what could have been if she had stayed with the older. She remembered their first date, the way she had looked at her, the way she had made her laugh. She remembered the way she had held her when she cried and the way they had danced in the moonlight.

"Here we go again" she shook off the thoughts.
