I Don't Like You, Unnie(SATZU)

Chapter Seven

Tzuyu just found herself in her penthouse's balcony, drinking wine and looking at the night view of Seoul as she thinks very deeply. Her and Mina's talk, filling up her mind.

"If you really love that person, then let them go."

That is a quote Tzuyu saw years ago, and so when she's in the exact situation, she did let Mina free even if in the first place, she never had the chance that Mina became hers. It's very painful but that's how it works, Tzuyu is not petty and desperate, as long as it would make Mina happy then so be it.

Myoui Mina's worth it anyway. Mina is worth it to love.

But hey, she managed to taste Mina's lips even once, and that's enough for her. She grazed her thumb along her lips, chuckling weakly as she remembered how soft Myoui Mina's lips were, too bad she managed to kiss it once only.

The head manager sighed, her heart is still aching but she can't help but smile to herself, shaking her head as she emptied her glass.

She closed her eyes and took a lungful of air. After quite a while, she heard some light footsteps behind her, she knew exactly who that person was.

"I heard everything from Mina earlier." A soft voice spoke beside her.

Tzuyu pouted, fluttering her eyes open and the view greeted her. She smiled slightly. "It hurts but I'm happy for her. We're just simply not meant to be together." She said, shrugging, she then looked at the woman beside her.

"Anyway, why are you still not asleep yet, Sana-unnie?" She asked, eyeing the Japanese woman who's standing beside her.

Sana giggled. "I simply can't," She answered and poured herself a glass of wine. "Besides, I think you need some companion tonight?" She muttered, taking a sip. Tzuyu snorted, chuckling but she did not respond, glad that there's a presence that can comfort her.

Silence engulfed them, letting the cold breeze kiss their skin.

Tzuyu noticed Sana downing her drink and placed the glass back on the table, settling beside her and leaned on the railing, staring at her. Somehow, it made the brown-haired woman's heart race.

Sana tilted her head a bit, smiling sweetly at the tensed woman.

"So, does this mean you can consider my feelings for you now, Head Manager?"

Silence.

Tzuyu just stared at Sana with an unreadable expression. When a minute passed, Sana thought that she would be rejected, she deflated, averting her gaze as she tried to hold back her tears.

"There's still no chance?" She whispered that it broke Tzuyu from her trance.

"No," Tzuyu responded quietly and Sana's shoulders slumped, defeated— she was about to respond and put up a fake smile when the older continued. "I think there is," She added, and took a step forward closer to Sana. There's always a chance between them, Mina just happened.

The Japanese woman froze, trying to sink what Tzuyu had said. Her cheeks started to warm, her heartbeat's pace started to quicken, almost hissing at their close proximity, and god, the way Tzuyu stared down at her so intensely, she could feel her knees buckling.

"I think we could work it out, Sana, but..." The younger woman paused, pursing her lips. Sana hummed softly, indicating that she's listening well. "I think I'm not ready yet, I still need to get over Mina—"

"That's a given already, I know that. Let's take it slow, I'm in no rush. Let me help you in the process of moving on and healing." Sana said, staring back at her with the same intensity and reached for her hand. Tzuyu's heart melted with the touch.
