TWIC...
I should have known. I should have known. I should have fucking known.
I'm so stupid to think that I could escape it, and continuously live a contented life like now. All the efforts, the excruciating pains, and the endless cries that I shed just to be where I am as me...as Son Chaeyoung.
Will be gone in a matter of time.
Nayeonnie let me poured it all as she whispers sweet and comforting words making me cry harder than before.
After some time, she offered a water which I am gladly took. We are now sitting at the soft bed after my outburst earlier. Now that I am calmed down, I notice the room interior they have I have to say they have a better room than us.
"Chaeng, speak to me."
I manage to gulped hard from the sobbing before gathering my courage to speak the secret I had been keeping to her. To my members.
"I-I...I only have a year left..t-then I will be here no more unnie."
"W-what? I'm sorry did I heard it wrong, a year? No more?"
I could only hang my head low, not having the face to look at her eyes, now that I blurted out the words she needs to hear.
Instead of loosing the grip she have on my hands, it only become firmer and once again I am hugged - feeling the love, care, protection she always give.
None of us dared to break the silence aside from our silent cries throughout the night.
I felt the exhaustion taking over me, my eyelids fluttering I took another look at unnie's pretty face and said: Jaljayo, Goodnight.
I then felt her kiss on my head.
I will miss this.
Tzuyu's pov
I left the room to have their time alone...I could stay but Chaeyoung and I aren't close like what the camera is feeding to the audience, and obviously her and bunny have more deeper bond so I let them be.
Like a mother and a daughter.
The night is still young so I decided to stroll on the open garden balcony 2 floors above ours.
Reaching my destination, I was met with cool breeze making me shiver a little bit. Internally scolding myself for not thinking my outfit, I remembered when we got here as 9 for the first time it was quite cold too. But fun.

I took this my time to reminisce from the time we were just strangers with each other doing out very best as trainees as each of us trying to reach our dream - to be an idol. And here we are, taking the popularity too though I think of that as a bonus than achievement. Reaching our fans' heart through our music and seeing them smile because of it is the true achievement.
Dreams as goals are merely illusions until perseverance is there make it come true.
Not all though. But it is better to try than nothing, if failed it could also mean that it will be a step for the right path - not the end.
I wish it was easy to have it like buying a candy so everyone could be happy too. But life would be meaningless if there's no yin to balance the yang. One must earn its worth to prove not to others but to his/herself.
The night was getting colder, so with a heavy sigh I decide to leave the memories visit me at my dreams tonight.
I was about to head back when I heard argues near the entrance of the balcony so I hid behind the bushes.
Wait why am I hiding?
"Jeongyeon wait, please think about it first."
"No Momo...I know that it was wrong for me to get jealous but I don't know how to approach her without getting into another useless bicker."
Oh? It's Momo unnie and Jeongyeon unnie.
" Jeong, its not useless. Its just the way you show your affection. And you never know...maybe s-she likes you too"
