Tzuyus POV

Outside Dahyuns House

"Hey, Tzuyu!", Dahyun greeted me with a bright smile as she opened the door.

"Thanks for taking care of him. I really appreciate it".

"Of course! He's always a joy. You know that", Dahyun replied, taking the bag from my hands.

"Go enjoy your day!".

I waved goodbye.

~ A few minutes later ~

Shopping Mall

I spotted Rose, my co-star, waiting at the entrance of a trendy café. She waved, her bright smile instantly lifting my spirits.

"Hey, Tzuyu! Over here!", she called out, her energy infectious.

I walked over.

Cafe

"Hey! Sorry I'm late. I dropped my son with dahyun".

"No worries! I ordered us some drinks. You look a little stressed, though. Everything okay?", she asked.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair sitting down.

"Not really. Sana and I are fighting".

"Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. What's going on?"

"It's just... She's been jealous of the drama we're filming, and it's causing so much tension between us", I said.

Rosé leaned back in her chair, tilting her head.

"Jealous? But it's just acting, right? I mean, we're all professionals here. She needs to trust you more".

"I know, but she is also bringing up my past and comparing it to the scenes we're filming".

"It's like you're living in a real-life version of our drama. Maybe you should tell her that", she said.

I chuckled lightly at that, despite the heaviness in my heart.

"The last thing I want to do is make it worse".

"My ex was a lot like Kang Ae-ri from the drama. Way more. Passionate, but it was an unhealthy relationship. I really loved her, despite everything".

"Why did you two break up then?", Rose asked, genuine curiosity lighting her eyes.

I sighed, memories flooding back.

"There was this moment when I said something that really broke her heart. I didn't mean to, but it happened. And that made her leave. I let her walk out on me. We both needed to move on".

"But if you loved her, why not fight for her? Chase her?".

"Because I knew it wasn't right. We kept hurting each other, and it wasn't healthy. Sometimes love isn't enough to make things work", I said.
