Unspoken Feelings ( A love that defines the odds )

5. Hidden Moments

The next few days passed in a whirlwind of concerts, fan meetings, and media appearances. TWICE was in full swing, with their tour hitting city after city. Despite the hectic schedule, Sana and Tzuyu had managed to carve out quiet moments together—stolen glances during rehearsals, shared whispers backstage, and brief touches when no one was looking.

It wasn’t much, but it was enough to keep the excitement alive, the spark between them growing with each day. The others hadn’t noticed anything unusual yet, and for now, Sana was grateful. It wasn’t that she wanted to hide her feelings for Tzuyu; she just wasn’t ready to share this fragile, beautiful thing with the world—not yet.

One evening, after a particularly exhausting show, the group returned to their hotel. The members dispersed into their respective rooms, too tired for their usual late-night hangouts. Sana and Tzuyu had exchanged brief smiles as they passed each other in the hallway, but now, back in her room, Sana found herself staring at her phone, wondering if Tzuyu was thinking about her too.

She hadn’t been lying when she told Tzuyu they should take it slow, but that didn’t stop her heart from longing for more time with her.

A soft knock on the door startled her out of her thoughts. Sana glanced over at Mina, who was already half-asleep in bed, and quickly got up to answer it.

When she opened the door, her breath caught in her throat. It was Tzuyu, standing in the dimly lit hallway, her face shadowed but her eyes bright.

“Tzuyu? What are you doing here?” Sana whispered, her heart pounding at the unexpected visit.

Tzuyu glanced down the hall to make sure no one was around before stepping inside. “I just... wanted to see you,” she said softly, closing the door behind her.

Sana’s heart raced as Tzuyu walked closer, her presence immediately calming and exciting all at once. “But what if someone sees you?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry. The other members were just down the hall, and if anyone saw Tzuyu sneaking into her room this late at night, questions would definitely arise.

Tzuyu gave a small, reassuring smile. “I was careful. No one saw.”

Sana bit her lip, feeling both anxious and thrilled at the same time. “You’re really risking it, aren’t you?”

Tzuyu shrugged lightly, but there was a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Sometimes it’s worth the risk.”

Sana laughed softly, her nerves easing at Tzuyu’s confidence. “You really are bold, aren’t you?”

Tzuyu’s expression softened as she stepped closer, her eyes locking onto Sana’s. “Only for you, unnie.”

The simple statement made Sana’s heart flutter, and she couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across her face. She reached out, gently taking Tzuyu’s hand and pulling her toward the small couch in the corner of the room. They sat down together, close but not touching, the air between them thick with unspoken feelings.

“So... what did you want to talk about?” Sana asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She could feel the warmth of Tzuyu’s presence next to her, and it made her pulse quicken.

Tzuyu hesitated for a moment, as if searching for the right words. Then she spoke, her voice soft and earnest. “I just wanted to spend some time with you, without all the distractions. We’ve been so busy lately, and I feel like I haven’t had a real moment with you.”

Sana’s heart swelled at Tzuyu’s words. She understood the feeling all too well. Between the constant rehearsals and performances, it had been hard to find time for just the two of them. These stolen moments were all they had, but they meant everything to her.

“I feel the same way,” Sana said, her fingers brushing against Tzuyu’s hand. “It’s been... hard to find time for us. But even the little moments are enough for me. As long as I’m with you.”

Tzuyu’s lips curved into a gentle smile, and she turned her hand over to intertwine their fingers. “I don’t want this to be a secret forever, Sana. But for now, I’m happy with what we have.”

Sana nodded, her heart pounding at the sight of Tzuyu’s soft expression. There was something so pure and honest about the way she spoke—no games, no confusion. Just the quiet, genuine affection between them.

“I’m happy too,” Sana whispered, leaning her head against Tzuyu’s shoulder. The younger girl didn’t pull away; instead, she leaned her head gently against Sana’s, the weight of their closeness grounding them both in the moment.

For a few minutes, they sat in comfortable silence, the only sounds coming from the faint hum of the air conditioner and the distant traffic outside. In the quiet of the hotel room, it felt like they were in their own little world—just the two of them, with no expectations, no worries, no one watching.

But eventually, reality intruded. Sana knew they couldn’t stay like this for too long; the risk of someone finding them was too great. She lifted her head and looked at Tzuyu, her heart heavy with the knowledge that they would have to part soon.

“Tzuyu,” she said softly, her voice tinged with regret, “I think you should go before anyone notices.”

Tzuyu’s eyes flickered with understanding, but there was a hint of reluctance in her gaze. “I know. I just... don’t want to leave.”

Sana smiled, her heart warming at Tzuyu’s words. “I don’t want you to leave either. But we’ll have more time. I promise.”

Tzuyu nodded, standing up reluctantly. “I’ll hold you to that.”

As she turned to leave, Sana stood up as well, catching her arm gently. “Wait.”

Tzuyu stopped, turning to face her, and before she could say anything, Sana leaned in and kissed her softly. It was quick, but full of the unspoken feelings they hadn’t had time to express.

When they pulled apart, Tzuyu’s eyes were wide, her cheeks flushed, but there was a soft smile on her lips.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, unnie,” Tzuyu whispered, her voice full of warmth.

Sana nodded, her heart racing as she watched Tzuyu slip out of the room and disappear down the hallway. She stood there for a moment, staring at the closed door, her mind spinning with the weight of everything that had just happened.

It wasn’t easy, hiding these moments. But it was worth it. Every smile, every touch, every stolen kiss—they were all worth the risk.

The next morning, as they gathered for breakfast, Sana felt a quiet thrill every time her eyes met Tzuyu’s across the table. They exchanged small smiles, careful not to draw too much attention, but the connection between them was undeniable.

Sana knew it couldn’t stay a secret forever. Eventually, they would have to face the rest of the group, explain what was going on. But for now, she was content with the hidden moments, the quiet touches and secret smiles that belonged only to them.

Because as long as she had Tzuyu by her side, everything else would fall into place.
