Strange Magic | SaTzu

Chapter 22: Bond

I was still at Tzuyu's place. They insisted me to stay for the night, so I couldn't protest. Partly because, I still want to spend more time with Tzuyu. They were really nice. I never felt awkward towards them, since they treated me like family. I've missed this nostalgic feeling. They invited me to eat dinner and stuff like those. I got to know them more. I learned how each of them had a tragic past. Before I forgot, I gave Dahyun the letter from Momo. I saw a small smile crept on her face when I mentioned Momo's name. Ah, how cute. I also mentioned about the upcoming attack that my caucus planned.

Chaeyoung offered me to sleep with Tzuyu. I refused though, I was too shy. So I ended up sleeping in the guest room. Later that night, a strange dream woke me up. My parents. Rolling in different directions, I realized that I couldn't sleep. I sighed deeply and went out to the terrace. The night sky was beautiful. I suddenly remembered my strange dream.

"Hey Mom, dad, how are you?" I gazed up, watching the stars twinkle.

"Me? I'm doing fine. Everything's going well. People stopped bullying me, I got stronger and they started respecting me." I smiled bitterly.

"You know, I really miss you mom and dad. I just.. I really wish you were here to witness everything." A tear rolled down my cheek. I quickly wiped my tear, but they started to fall. I couldn't stop them, so I just let them roll.

"But, I'm no longer lonely! I met this girl, her name is Chou Tzuyu. She's from uhm... The Order. Sorry, I couldn't stop myself. She was shining, and I was a moth drawn by her light."

"And I love her so much! I know she's a girl, but love wins, right?" I chuckled lightly.

"She's very important to me. I'm willing to die for her." I smiled inwardly, trying my best to stop the tears. Suddenly, someone hugged me from behind. I looked back and saw Tzuyu. She was beautiful. The moonlight complimented her face, and honestly, that made me feel like a potato.

Tzuyu's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night. Argh I was thirsty. I made my way downstairs and got myself something to drink. Walking up, I heard a voice coming from the terrace. Curiously, I went there only to see a squirrel talking to the sky, her parents. I saw tears flow down her face. I have never seen her cry, and it hurt me to see her that way. But she was stunning. The faint moonlight shone on her face, which made everything more beautiful. Slowly, I went to hug her from behind. I wanted to comfort her.

"Hello Mister and Miss Minatozaki. I'm Chou Tzuyu, and I believe your daughter stole something that is rightfully mine." I faced the sky, and smiled.

"What do you mean stole something from you?" Sana asked, bewildered.

"She stole my heart." I continued.

"Why are you so cheesy Chou Tzuyu? Argh that made me cringe."

"I don't know." I gave off a goofy smile which received a giggle from her.

"Don't worry Mister and Miss Minatozaki. I'll take care of Sana for you. Don't worry about the caucuses, everything will change soon. I promise." I added.

"See mom and dad? She's a really good kid."

"I'm not a kid. Pfft." I pouted.

She chuckled and faced me, finally she stopped crying. She smiled widely and quickly gave a peck on my pouting lips. I was flustered by her sudden act. I looked away and tried my best to hide my red cheeks.

"I don't want to cry. Now that I know you're here." She giggled when she saw my reaction.

"You better. I don't want to see you cry anymore." I faced her, good thing my face was no longer red.
