Faulty Hearts (aka "Tara & Belle") [Dreamcatcher | SuYoo | Sua x Yoohyeon]

Chapter 23 (NSFW-ish)

WARNING: Slightly NSFW

Nothing explicit but you shouldn't be reading this at school or work anyway. lol

EDIT: fixed error in timeline. Thanks to a reader who pointed it out.

Hey~ I wanted to drop this  chapter right before I go out of town for a few days or it's gonna drive  me crazy while I'm away. lol So as noted, it's slightly NSFW but  nothing explicit. This part wasn't meant to be this long, first half is  supposed to be a Singji flashback followed by Suyoo paralleling in the  present but... the writing wants to do its own thing. lol So Suyoo will  be in the next chapter.

So without further ado, enjoy!

(A few weeks before the accident)

"You guys have been awesome! Thank you for coming! We are..."

"Kami Ookami! " Siyeon and Yubin screamed in unison as the  audience showered them with cheers and applause. They bowed deeply  before exiting the stage.

Another performance in the books, but something was different this  time around. Minji, their biggest supporter, was front and center as  usual but Siyeon had noticed her being a little extra tonight. Extra  smiley. Extra excited. Extra cheery. Extra loud. The duo met her at the  bar where she finally explained herself.

"I didn't want to tell you guys before you went on stage but now I  can't hold it any longer," Minji said, barely containing her excitement.

"Bathroom's over there," Siyeon said, then apologized for her lame  joke. "Anyway. What is it? Spit it out." She then took a sip of water.

"I may have found someone interested in your music. In Japan!"

Siyeon ended up spitting it out, spraying water across the bar counter. Everyone in proximity to her shrank back in disgust.

"Yah! I know it's just water but that's still a party foul!" Handong hollered, now tasked with wiping up the mess.

Siyeon pressed her palms and rubbed them together in apology as she cleared out the last bit of water caught in her windpipe.

"What the fuck? Japan? Are you serious?"

Minji nodded. "Yes, I gave somebody who knows somebody in Japan a  video clip of one of your performances awhile back and they said your  sound would do well there."

Yubin's eyes lit up and her voice rose a pitch higher. "Seriously? Wahh! That is so cool!"

"Right? I've been wanting to go back to Japan. So much inspiration. You'll love it there, Bin." Siyeon added.

Minji watched the two best friends going ecstatic over her  announcement. She loved seeing people happy, but especially if she had a  hand in helping with it. She turned to Handong now and ordered a couple  of drinks to celebrate.

"Unnie, can you believe it? Is this really happening?" Yubin said, still in shock.

"Must be destiny, Bin. Guess it's a plus that our band name is  already in Japanese," Siyeon pointed out. "It's been a long time coming,  but I knew eventually we would get there."

"If we get this... I have so many things I want to do there. [Bora] unnie has to come too."

"Duh, of course," Siyeon said.

"How is she, by the way?" Yubin asked. "I missed her coming to our shows."

Siyeon shrugged. "Busy, as usual." Then as if on cue, her phone  vibrated inside her jacket pocket. She looked at the name on the screen  and was pleasantly surprised. Speaking of which...
