That night

Flashback

"Unnie I'll be home late tonight. I asked Manager-unnie and she allowed, so I'll be there." Tzuyu announced to everyone as they were sitting in the hall before she checked herself one last time.

She thought they wouldn't care enough for them to notice but she was quite flabbergasted when she received some comments from them.

"Party? What party?" Sana probed with her arms folded.

"Oh, it's for the Chinese and Taiwanese idols. Handong is coming to pick me up."

"Don't lie to us Tzuyu, parties like this don't exist. We have three Japanese in our group and no one invited us. Tell us where are you going." Mina butted in

"Unnie, why would I lie to you." Taiwanese helplessly pleaded

"I don't know, maybe you are doing something you shouldn't do."

"Unnie don't you trust me?"

Sana and Mina looked at each other and then again at Tzuyu. They didn't say anything but the look in their eyes and the silence was enough of an answer for her. These two were someone Tzuyu trusted the most but seems like her trust was not reciprocated.

But now she doesn't even feel disappointed, she looked at all of them for a second and with a bitter smile spoke

"I thought I was one of us, but I realized I never was."

How could they forget that night. The words that left her mouth still ring in their ears.

"Oh, I hope all of you had fun in that party" Jeongyeon mentioned with a forced smile.

"Yeah, we did." The other three answered with a knowing grin.

The same night, Tzuyu broke down in the toilet and then was found by Shuhua who asked her about her condition and that's when everyone found out about her real condition, even though her arms gave it all, they all were idols too, dealing with makeup and stuff was very usual for them and they knew no one puts makeup on their arms unless they have to cover cuts.

For some reason, they were more wounded than they thought they would be. The girl shaking in the arms of Elkie was a pure soul, someone with a golden heart, she did not deserve this, she did not deserve the things happenings to her just because she dreamed of becoming an idol in a foreign country.

Thinking about that night Lucas's grip on Tzuyu's shoulder tightened. He himself was falsely accused of something he didn't do, he still remembers how people treated him, how he drowned himself in alcohol and everything seems like it was falling apart. The whole industry knows the scandal Tzuyu had, it created a lot of commotion in both Korea and Taiwan, at that time she was just 16. She recovered from that scandal and stood still as a very beautiful person inside out. He didn't want her to experience what he experienced. After all, he considers her his sister.

"It was very fun." Lucas expressed them with newfound determination.

Sensing the weird atmosphere Chenle said "Anyways Tzu. We came here to invite you for the group hangout and we are not taking no for answer. If you are late the bill is all on you. Also the video of Butter and Kaya was so cute. Bye"
