Sanas POV
Minas Living Room
"Your house is really nice", I remarked, glancing over at Mina.
"Your husband must be rich".
"Well, he is but I get good income too".
Before I could respond, the front door swung open, and Mina's husband. I knew who he was immediately. Taehyung, walked in, completely unaware of my presence.
"Wife, can you help me with my tie?", he called out.
Mina moved toward him and did it up. Taehyung looked up and his eyes widened slightly upon noticing me. I could see the recognition in his gaze, and it made me feel strangely self-conscious. It was as if time slowed down for that moment..
"Hey", he finally said, breaking the silence.
"Hi", I replied, forcing a smile.
"Right tae my older sister".
"uh huh right I need to head out for work", he said, heading to the front door.
"Wait, you're forgetting Aria", Mina said.
"Right, right. I'm taking her to school. Thanks for the reminder".
Aria? Just then, a little girl burst into the room, a bundle of energy, jumping into Taehyung's arms.
"Daddy!", she squealed, her face lighting up with joy.
"Hey, pumpkin!", he exclaimed, hugging her tightly.
With one last glance at Mina and me, Taehyung adjusted his tie, flashing a charming smile before heading for the door.
"I'll see you later, Mina. And nice to meet you again, Sana", he added.
As the door clicked shut behind him, I turned to Mina.
"Your husband seems really great. You two really seem happy together. A happy family", I observed, hoping to steer the conversation away from my own tangled feelings.
"It took time as I said I did cry a lot after what happened. And I was hesitant to get into a romantic relationship with him. But we've built a great life together".

Living Room
"Your daughter is adorable", she said.
"Thank you. She is".
"I'm really sorry about how I acted at the café the other day I just... struggling. Plus tzuyu is supposed to come back from Japan today".
"It's fine, Sana", I said.
"I just really want us to build a bond again. Forget the past and move forward, you know?".
"That's a great idea. I think it would be nice to rekindle our friendship".
"Yeah, it would be and to see my niece and future nephew. I missed you little sis", she said.
We were sisters-in-arms at one point, and I wanted to get back to that, to the uncomplicated joy we once had.
"I've missed you too, Sana. We can start by catching up more often, having dinner together, or just spending time as a family".
"I'd like that", she said, her smile widening.
"I'm really glad you came by today. It means a lot to me".
"Me too, Mina. We're family, after all".
"Always".

Tzuyus POV
Our Bedroom
I dont know where is she is right now. But I know she will come home. Were to talk today. Just then I heard the front door click open, my heart raced. She was home. I looked up hearinf the bedroom door open. Sana walked in, looking just as beautiful as ever, her hair slightly tousled and a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
"Hey".
"Hey. We need to talk. You said we would talk when I came back", I said.
She paused for a moment, and I could see her eyes flicker with concern. But instead of responding, she stepped closer, silencing me with a soft kiss.
"Sana, wait. This is important. We really need to---"
But she didn't let me finish. Instead, she began to unbutton her shirt, slowly and deliberately, her gaze never leaving mine. My breath caught in my throat as I realized what she was doing.
"Sana, what are you--"
"Shh. Let's not talk right now", she said.
I felt heat rush to my cheeks as she slid her shirt off.
"This isn't the time".
"Why not?", she countered, taking a step closer.
"I missed you. I missed this".
Before I could respond, she pulled me in for another kiss, her lips soft yet demanding. I could feel the world around us fade away as she deepened the kiss, and all I could think about was how much I craved her. Still, the nagging feeling that we needed to address our issues lingered in the back of my mind.
"Sana", I murmured against her lips, trying to regain some semblance of control.
"We really should talk about---".
"Let's just have sex", she said, her breath hot against my face, sending shivers down my spine.
"We can talk later. Right now, I just want you".
My resolve began to crumble as her hands moved to the hem of my shirt, gently tugging it up. The way she looked at me, with such desire and intensity, made it hard to focus on anything else.
"Are you sure?", I asked.
"Absolutely", she replied, pulling me closer as I felt her warmth envelop me.
