Satzu one-shots + incorrects

The bartender (5)

Tzuyu is 45% sure that Sana might like her back. Recalling that night and the morning after from a couple weeks ago, the memories still make her heart flutter. The serenity that replaced the initial panic that led her into the dangerous zone of hoping and expecting, and now she can't stop thinking about her.

She needs to talk to Sana, needs to ask how her day is going, needs her to send her pretty pictures of bouquets she makes and silly photos of her dog, needs her to tell Tzuyu every little thing that runs through her pretty head, so that Tzuyu doesn't go insane. Or maybe she already has. Nevertheless, she gets all those things; texting the older and sending her silly memes, telling her about some tomfoolery going on at the bar, while Sana makes fun of her and teases her for being the way she is, which she takes with open arms.

The blonde thinks about walking into the traffic when Sana suggests going out for coffee this Friday, just the two of them and she has to decline, explaining that she's going to fly to see her family for the weekend to celebrate her sister's birthday. Even when she's away and spending time with her loved ones, Tzuyu is not going to lie and say that she doesn't think about Sana.

It was quite the opposite. It actually feels that she just misses Sana more now, being in a different country and all that. The number of pictures of street cats she encounters sent to Sana would probably exceed the number of photos she has with her best friend. When she goes out with her family, she snaps quick pictures of Taipei's most interesting places and shares them with the florist, explaining their part in her childhood and in the processes of her becoming who she is today.

The weekend zooms by, surrounded by her loved ones, and on Monday morning she finds herself back in Seoul. Sana asked her to come to her apartment around six o'clock, saying that she would like to introduce Tzuyu to someone. That intrigues the younger and she agrees. Of course, she isn't able to wait for so long, deciding to drop an unexpected visit to the flower shop, a small gift bag in her hands.

She's happily striding towards the all-familiar building, giggling when she imagines Sana's shocked face at her surprise, when she looks up, and her heart cracks into a million little pieces.

There stands the brunette, near her apartment's door, her arms around an unfamiliar man, smiling and laughing. The guy is tall and wide and has a bright smile, one that matches Sana's.

Her heart drops into her stomach, feet ready to flee. Something behind her eyes stings, but Tzuyu forces that feeling deep down. She didn't expect that at all when she planned her surprise visit. What does that mean? She was gone for a couple of days, and Sana already found someone? She wouldn't do that...or would she? She swallows the bitterness coming up her throat, when she hears more than sees the older woman's laughter. She chuckles humorlessly, taking one last look at the two.

Spinning on her feet, Tzuyu all but runs away from the scene, rapidly blinking the wetness away, when she witnesses Sana lean up towards the man's face.

[tzuyu !]

hey, something came up, they need me at the bar, cant come today, sorry

[sana<3]

oh

okay

is everything alright?

*seen*

"Hey, are you okay?"

Chaeyoung was surprised enough when she came in to work tonight, only to see Tzuyu already behind the bar, pouring drinks. Now, seeing her best friend being unusually sulky and silent is making her slightly worried.

"Tzuyu?"

She sees the blonde break out of her trance, only to throw her a quick glance.

"Hmm?"
