Never Together

8: Sana's Birthday

Tzuyu's POV:

It was now Sana's birthday and I woke up really early to order her breakfast as well as for the rest of the members. Even if it wasn't her birthday, I was always up early no matter what time I slept the previous night. It was more of a habit to wake up before my alarm goes so as to not wake the other members. Sana sleeps until 10 a.m. on free days like today. The other members are back and we've had our final practice yesterday in preparation for tomorrow's Gayo Daejun. It was 5 days ago, when Sana talked back to Park PDnim. Tomorrow she and Dahyun Unnie are supposed to walk together on our way inside the theater where the program will be held. Dahyun Unnie explained that she'd take care of Sana for me and that I don't need to get jealous, because she loves Momo Unnie and this is just work for them both. Since that day, Sana and I barely had a talk, she went out with some of her friends the day after because I was going out to Lotté Park with Dahyun Unnie and Chaeyoung Unnie. I let her be because I know she doesn't like Dahyun Unnie too, because back in the competition Sixteen, Dahyun Unnie almost costed Sana not to debut, because of a certain Ariana Grande song we did and we were lacking coherence.

Dahyun Unnie made a comeback though and I ended up getting eliminated in the last episode but was brought back by Park PDnim because I was popular with the viewers. That was my saving grace, I was not as talented as Momo Unnie or Dahyun Unnie or even Sana. I can't sing and my dance moves aren't as clean as Momo Unnie or Sana's dance moves. I often get the choreography to our songs wrong. I have nothing else but my outer appearance and my subpar dancing.

I promised not to get jealous, but I can't even imagine Sana being held by someone other than me. Sana was mine, my future wife and mother of our kids. Because Park PDnim was in the room during Sana's outburst, I told him I can work with Jeongyeon Unnie. It was the least thing I could do. After crying at the question. Sana became a little distant. I looked at her as she stirs in her sleep. I removed my gift for her birthday from its hiding place. I opened the bag and held the small box that had the ring. I stared at the ring for a long time.

Thinking about Sana and her reaction. I kept the box in my pocket and went to the bathroom to freshen myself up. Brushed my teeth and washed my face. I brushed my hair and ordered the breakfast for 9 people. I waited for the orders to arrive in the living room. I sat silently as I think of a way to give this ring to her. Ultimately, I decided to wake her up and give her the birthday gift before everyone else saw it. Yes, that's right, I'd wake her up later, so as to avoid teasing from the other members. I received a text from the delivery guy, he said he'd arrive in 5 minutes.

I went down to the lobby of our dorm building and waited for the delivery driver to arrive, dressed in thick jogging pants and a thick hoodie to keep me warm. It's winter seasoon in Korea. The food was already paid in app. Another message came and it said that the delivery rider was here. I put my phone back to my pocket and gave the delivery rider 10,000 won as tip so he could buy something for himself in this cold weather. The delivery rider profusely thanked me and I bowed to him and told him, thank you for working hard through winter and then walked away to the elevator. I pressed 20th floor button and waited for the elevator to reach our floor.

Once in the 20th floor, I saw that some of my members are already awake and are currently looking at the fridge for something to eat. I entered our dorm and told them to help themselves with the breakfast I had in 9 bags or so. I lost count of the bags I carried.

"Thank you Baby Chew." Dahyun Unnie was the one who spoke.

"Welcome." I replied before entering our room to wake up Sana.

I found Sana still sleeping soundly at our bed, I typically don't bother her with sleeping in, but today is her birthday and I was not able to greet her at exactly 12 a.m. because Dahyun Unnie and Chaeyoung Unnie brought me out to have drinks, the rest of them surprised Sana's V Live while I stayed with my fellow School Meal Club Members. We've had a few drinks, then decided to go home and I fell asleep waiting for Sana to come home so I can greet her. Sana looked peaceful and her sleeping figure looked like that of a Princess. I sighed at the view before me and sat beside the bed. I kissed her cheeks, nose and a peck on the lips. She's 3 years older than I am and yet, she looks like my age, acts like my age, even our fellow members tease her and Nayeon Unnie to be the Maknaes instead of Chaeng and I. Sana had expressive eyes, her eyes talks to you and at some performances she'd even act as if she's seducing the entire population of Men and Lesbians in Korea much to my distaste. Her eyes should look at me and only me like Chaeyoung once said to Mina Unnie, but I can never ask the Sanaconda to only look at me, she's a grown woman that knows what she's doing.
