Twice's Private Manager Book 2

Part 6: Tequila

I'm sure you can guess what this box is for. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not supposed to be kinky. I got it to commemorate our first date. The real first one, back in New York. Do you remember that café? I hope you do. Anyway, it's actually going to be revealed soon as merch for our fans, but I had this one made specially for you a while ago. It's the first one and it has your initials on the inside. I hope you like it.

Happy birthday!

Lots of Love,

Tzuyu

A gift box accompanied by a handwritten note from your "ex" wasn't what you expected to wake up to. Honestly, you expected to wake up next to the girl you were dating. Birthdays were never a big deal for you, but for some reason you couldn't help but feel just a tad disappointed that Sana wasn't there first thing in the morning. You've always felt close to Sana, she was just so easy to get along with, but never have you felt closer than now after privately dating her for a couple of weeks.

After contemplating giving her a call, you decided to just let it go. You tried to convince yourself that maybe she had some prior commitment to attend to, but the unfortunate reality was that you knew she had nothing scheduled. In an attempt to distract yourself from your disappointment, you turned your attention to the little box.

The wrapping was clearly not done by a professional, but it was neat and had a certain charm to it that could only come from an amateur's touch. Methodically, you began to unwrap the little box, trying to guess what would be inside. After giving it a little rattle, the only noise inside was the most subtle ring of a small metal piece hitting the side of the box. Whatever it was, it was definitely very light. Right before you could open the box, your phone rang.

"Jihyo?"

"I'm outside, come down."

"What are we doing?" you asked while putting the box down.

"Tequila."

"Isn't it a bit early for that?"

"No. Now are you coming or do I need to drag you down here?"

"Alright alright, I'm coming down," you laughed while slipping into your clothes.

"Oh, and happy birthday."

"Mine next! Then, another shot," Chaeyoung slurred while tossing a little box at you.

"You sure you don't wanna slow down? You seem a bit drunk already," Jihyo laughed as Chaeyoung fell onto your lap.

"Thanks for these," you said while taking off the sunglasses Jeongyeon got you, receiving a subtle nod. You started to fumble around with the wrapping of Chaeyoung's little gift, opening it to find a little bottle. "You got me... perfume?"

"Do you like it?" Chaeyoung asked adorably while dropping her head in your lap, looking up at you. She had a hopeful smile on her face, and the light in the room was hitting her eyes in just the right way to make them sparkle. The alcohol tinted her cheeks with a natural blush. "Dahyun and Tzuyu mentioned how you liked trying their perfumes."

"I do," you answered tenderly, leaning down to give her a quick kiss on the forehead before opening the bottle and spraying a bit in the air. "Oh wow! Floral? That's not what I was expecting, it's so pretty!"

"Great, now take a shot off me," Chaeyoung slurred while reaching over to the table and putting a slice of lime in her mouth. Then she lifted up her shirt, shamelessly exposing her gorgeously toned abs for the whole room. "Mmmmphmmm," she moaned while pointing at the nearly-empty bottle of tequila.
