The two are excessively serious about their relationship.

Sana will prepare breakfast in her apartment, a simple french toast, egg and bacon. She will drop it off at Tzuyu's apartment before she goes to work while the engineer is still suspended. Sometimes she will eat breakfast with Tzuyu if she arrives early.

Tzuyu works in her google sheet while Sana works in the office. She shares the link to the architect so she can view the spreadsheet but doesn't allow her to edit and mess with it. She renamed the sheet 1 as schedule, sheet 2 as grocery list, and sheet 3 as bills.

Schedule. This includes their appointment to their dentist, derma, and other doctors for their checkups. Tzuyu also includes the car maintenance, and due dates of bills that Sana usually forgets.

Grocery list. She wants Sana to stick to the list whenever she does grocery shopping. She also includes the price so they will know if the food they buy raises its price.

Bills. She made 12 columns for the 12 months, and two rows for her and Sana. She wants to show the architect that her credit card spending during December is thrice the average of her spending of the past 11 months. She's not kidding.

Both of them forget to be intimate with each other as they are both busy with getting everything right. They know that if they fail, they will lose everything, including their friendship that they tried to save by dating other people and avoiding each other.

Sana's four times a week is now gone down the drain.








Tzuyu: Are you going home late?

Sana: Do you need something?

Tzuyu: Are you going home late?

Sana: No.

Tzuyu: Let's have dinner? My dining chair arrived. I will order food.

Sana: Sure. Do you still need pain killers? Send me the name.

Tzuyu: No. I miss you.

"Idiot." She whispers, shaking her head as she shoves her phone back in the drawer.

"Is it Tzuyu?"

"Yeah." She answers as she focuses on her computer again.

"How's the first week of dating? Did your parents congratulate you?" Momo teases. "How's Tzuyu as a girlfriend?" She questions excitedly.

"She's alright." She answers, playing cool. "They congratulated us. My mother sent vitamins for Tzuyu. I received expensive fruits from Mrs. Chou yesterday."

It's surprising that both her parents and Tzuyu's mother are quiet. They are not asking them to meet every other day, texting and calling them to ask about their plan for marriage. They are just there. They know they are back together but they don't shove responsibilities down their throats.

"You have a generous in-law." Momo smiles, resting her chin on her palm. "Did Tzuyu regret moving out of your apartment?"

"Tzuyu never regrets her decisions so I don't think she does."

"It will be fun to live in the same house."

"It's convenient but not always fun."

Tzuyu nags a lot.

Momo gives her a teasing smile. "So have you kissed—"

"Shut up." She rolls her eyes. "I won't tell you."

Momo chuckles, "How's Dahyun? I haven't heard anything from her."

Sana sighs as she remembers how Dahyun went home at 4 in the morning then left at 7. She could feel the burden just by watching her.
