Such a nice time when you're all alone.

Tzuyu was currently sitting on her couch with Gucci by her side, watching a movie while eating some chocolate wafers. The only noise that can be heard was the television's sound and her deep breaths.

Even though her eyes were glued to the movie she's watching, her mind was exploring anywhere else. Hindi niya alam kung bakit siya pumayag na ihatid ni Mingyu sa bahay niya si Hana, when she knew that she had this grudge towards Sana and Hansol that she couldn't resist.

Well, she just wanted to have a long interaction with a kid ever since. Mahilig din naman si Tzuyu sa bata, pero hindi halata.

A few moments later, several knocks were to be heard on Tzuyu's house door. The girl immediately stood up as she headed towards the source of the knocking sound.

Bumungad sa kanya ang kapatid niyang si Mingyu nang binuksan niya ang pinto, looking all handsome in his white shirt, jeans, and Harry Potter specs.

Tzuyu looked down a little and saw a small girl, clinging tightly on Mingyu's shirt. She smiled, knowing that the toddler was shy.

"Hana, this is Tzuyu. . ." Mingyu said as she pointed out Tzuyu while caressing Hana's hair gently.

"Call me Tzuyu unnie," the tall girl said as she tried her best to show off a friendly look.

Hana went a little closer as her shyness faded the moment she heard Tzuyu's voice. Hana is the type of kid that easily gets comfortable with people who have soft voices.

Mingyu smiled and waved goodbye, "Well, I gotta go. I texted Sana and Hansol to pick Hana up here kung babalik man sila," he said as Tzuyu's eyes widened in surprise. Bago pa man masuntok ni Tzuyu si Mingyu ay naka-sakay na ito sa kanyang kotse at umalis na.

It was clearly dark outside, around 7:25 pm. Medyo naiinis lang si Tzuyu dahil gabi na at hindi parin sinusundo si Hana ng mga magulang niya. Pero mas lalo siyang naiinis dahil sinabi pala ni Mingyu kay Sana at Hansol na sa bahay niya pa dumaan.

Things were all messed up for Tzuyu at this point.

Pinapasok ni Tzuyu si Hana sa loob at halatang malungkot parin ito. The two of them sat on the couch as Tzuyu caressed Hana's back softly.

"Hey, are you fine?" tanong ni Tzuyu sa maliit na bata habang naka-tingin lang ito sa ibaba.

"I want fresh milk," Hana said in a lifeless voice, startling Tzuyu. Ayaw na ayaw niyang may naririnig na malungkot na bata, it just hurts her and she hates it.

Dali-dali siyang tumayo mula sa couch at kumuha ng fresh milk mula sa refrigerator. She poured some of it on a glass and immediately went to Hana who was sitting on the couch.

As soon as Hana saw Tzuyu holding a glass of fresh milk, the toddler's face was brightened up with a cute smile. Nang maibigay sa kanya ni Tzuyu ang baso, Hana chugged on it until the last drop. Halatang gustong-gusto nang batang 'to ang fresh milk, just like her.

"Thank you, Tzuyu unnie!" Hana said as she gave back the glass to Tzuyu.

"Uhm, what do you want to do?" Tzuyu asked awkwardly while scratching the back of her head, until Gucci came running to them and wagged it's tail.

Nang makita ito ni Hana, the small girl jumped out of the couch at lumapit kaagad sa aso. It seems like Hana could handle a dog easily just by her actions.

"Tzuyu unnie, ano pong pangalan ng dog?" Hana asked, causing Tzuyu to smile genuinely. She'd never smiled this genuine before, since those heartbreaking moments that she had five years ago. Hindi niya alam na ang magpapasaya lang pala sa kanya ay ang anak ng mga taong nanakit sa kanya. It was just so unexpected, though.
