Lead with Her Heart [ Sahyo ]

12 - Promised Lunch

—Sana's Bedroom— Thursday, August 22nd, XX35, 11:52 PM, 2 weeks later
[Sana's POV]

The past two weeks were so slow and boring. Jihyo had been swamped with work and was caught up in a ton of meetings, on top of managing the aftermath of the new project launch.

Oh, the project was highly successful by the way. It brought in a wave of new investors, as well as upped the revenue by twofold in just the first week!

Sana had messaged Jihyo a few times, trying to meet up during the weekends, but Jihyo insisted on needing some quality sleep during her free time. It's understandable of course, but Sana was still a little upset about it.

This particular day, Sana had gotten ready for bed after an exhausting day at work.
...

*yawn* (I'm so ready to fall asleep right now..)

Sana closed her bedroom lights and climbed into her bed sheets. She tossed and turned until she found the perfect spot to drift into sweet unconsciousness...

*ding!*

Her phone screen flashed a bright white, temporarily blinding Sana's vision.

(Ugh, I forgot to turn off my message notifications.)

Sana tries to ignore the noise, but notification sounds keep coming one after the other.

*ding!*... *ding!*... *ding!*... *ding!*.......*ding!* *ding!*

(Who is spamming me, so late at night??)

Annoyed, Sana grabs her phone turns down the screen brightness, and mutes the text notifications. She was going to put the phone back down until she caught a glance at the name on her phone.

(Wait, Jihyo?)

Sana did a double take at her phone, and all of her drowsiness suddenly disappeared. She anxiously taps the notification and reads the text.

Zyo: Hey, Sana. Sorry for the late-night messages.
Zyo: Also, sorry for being so busy lately, I know that you've been wanting to spend time together. I want to, as well.
Zyo: I know it's random, but do you remember when you helped me a month ago?
Zyo: My friends promised to treat you to lunch sometime, and my schedule calmed down a little.
Zyo: We were wondering if you were free on the 24th? This Saturday?
Zyo: It's fine if you're busy, but get back to me whenever you see this.
Zyo: Goodnight, I miss you.

Sana finished reading the messages, and she noticed how a grin had formed on her face. She repeated the last message in her mind; 'I miss you, I miss you, I miss you'.
