“Because I love you.”

The moment she heard those words, the puppet-like Sana completely collapsed. Tears began to fall like a broken string of pearls, unable to stop.

Across the glass, Tzuyu felt pain as he saw the tears fall from her eyes. He placed his hand on the glass window, wanting to wipe her tears, yet it was all but futile. In the end, he said with an aching heart: “Sana, don’t cry.”

But, how could she stop the tears? Sana cried until she almost fainted. Separated by the glass, Tzuyu continued to console her in a gentle voice. That voice made her think back to a time where as long as she cried and make a scene, he would drop everything, no matter what it was, and come to accompany and coax her with that same gentle voice of his.

She had been a fool to have believed that they had only had siblings affection. She had been a damn fool to have caused him take the blame for her.

“Tzuyu, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Sana asked tearfully.

Tzuyu just smiled.

He didn’t give her an answer as she knew what the answer was. Even if he told her, it would have been useless. Because at that time she had been obsessed with Yuju. In her eyes, there was no one else but Choi Yuju.

Having understood this, Sana cried more tears.

The guard urged Sana away as the prison visiting hour was over.

Tzuyu called Sana.

Sana held the receiver and leaned towards the glass crying and gasping for breath. She braced herself to hear what he had to say.

“Sana, I cannot be by your side to guard you anymore. You must take good care of yourself. Don’t be so willful anymore. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes.” Sana nodded absentmindedly.

“Sana…“

“Yes, yes.”

“Don’t marry Choi Yuju. Find a man who will truly love you. When you do find him, be good to him, and live a good life, understand?”

“Yes, yes.”

Tzuyu continued to speak endlessly. This was the first time in Sana’s entire life that she didn’t find his lecturing annoying. She earnestly responded, even though she didn’t hear a single word.

The guard warned them to speed it up. Tzuyu finally gave Sana a profound glance, put down the receiver, and finally got up to leave.

Sana suddenly stood up and started hitting the window hard, despite the guard’s warning. She pointed at the receiver.

Tzuyu sounded an apology to the guard and, once again, picked up the receiver.

Sana looked at Tzuyu through the glass. This once handsome man had always paid attention to cleanliness, but after some short months, that man was no more. He had stubble that he seemed to have missed while shaving hastily. His face had become yellowish and unusually haggard, except his eyes. His eyes were still as brilliant as they were before. It seemed like the hardships of life had not affected him. As Sana looked, she felt a burst of sadness. Tzuyu opened his mouth to hurry her up. Then, Sana said in unswerving arrogance, “Tzuyu, you know that I am willful and selfish, therefore indulge me once again for the last time. Wait for me okay? I’m not asking you, I’m ordering you. You wait for me, or else don’t even think about having a good life after. You know that I can make one’s life a living hell!”

She was always a vicious woman. Forcing people to do the things and never knowing how to repent, nevertheless, she was proud of it.

At the beginning, Tzuyu had not understood what she was speaking about. When he had figured it out, Sana had smiled, put down the receiver, and gone out.
