Minas POV

My Bedroom

I woke up to hearing my bed squeak. Who's in my house? I quickly sat up grabbing my pistol and aimed it at the figure. Only to realise that the figure was Tzuyu, sitting at the edge of my bed, her face buried in her hands.

"Tzuyu? What are you doing here? How did you get in here? You don't have a key", I asked lowering my gun.

She looked up, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

"Mina... I'm so sorry. I should never have let my fear of not being good enough eat me alive. I... I love you", she said, her words slurred.

She was drunk, her movements unsteady and her speech unclear. My heart ached at her words, but I knew this wasn't the right time to have any kind of conversation. I needed clarity, not a drunken plea.

"You're drunk, Chou and you broke into my house, my bedroom at 2:17 am. I can't talk to you like this. I've given you your chance. And now, when you're drinking and stumbling over your words, you realize it? That letting me walk out of that office was a mistake. And now your drown yourself in alcohol and growing in regret. That's not fair to either of us".

"Mina, please. I know I messed up, but I need you. I need you to understand that I love you. That I was a coward and scared that I found someone as amazing as you".

I shook my head, standing up.

"You need to be sober and in your right mind to have this conversation. And honestly, I can't just drop everything and run back to you, no matter how much I might love you".

"I'm sorry, Mina. I didn't mean for it to come out like this. I just... I don't want to be alone...no more. I really do love you... whether you believe me or not in my drunk state i know what i mean"

I sighed.

"You got a babysitter at home with Minyu?", I asked as I began putting on clothes.

"No i...i.. was---".

"Minyu is at home alone. And you come here to drunk and pour your heart out isn't exactly responsible. You're a parent. You have responsibilities."

I watched as her face twisted with shame, and I felt a twinge of guilt for being so harsh. She was clearly struggling, and I knew I needed to help her, even if it wasn't what I had planned.

"I'll take you back home", I said and I helped her up,

Outside her House

"Mina, please. Stay with me. It's Christmas. Minyu would be happy to see you"

I hesitated, torn between my feelings for Tzuyu and the realization that she was still drunk and emotional.

"Fine. I'll stay for now. But this doesn't change anything. We need to talk when you're sober."

Once inside, I helped her to the bedroom.
