Waterfall

Chapter 13

Tzuyu sat in the living room alone after their photo shoot they had that evening. It went great for the girl. She was absolutely stunning and no one could ever deny that. The youngest knew it herself, and she was pretty confident about it. And even though it comes so naturally and easy to her, the girl was still tired. And a bit drunk. 

The third beer that she was now slowly sipping as if it was wine, burned her throat with just a perfect amount of bitterness, that it felt almost blissful to her. 

Lately, the girl found herself drinking often. She wouldn't call it a habit, she just loved the way it made her feel. More relaxed, sometimes sleepy, and it was fun in general. Although sometimes, she had to admit, it wasn't as fun and nice as one would think. 

Tzuyu tends to be aggressive when she drinks. But only if someone confronts her about drinking. Like her girlfriend. 

The youngest really does love her girlfriend very much, but when she's under the influence, she changes. She sometimes even goes as far as disrespecting Chaeyoung. Pointing out all the "bad things" about her, acting kind of jealous when she's hanging out with other members. And especially, believing Chaeyoung is still in love with Mina. Even though the older told her an x amount of times that she's over that. 

And Tzuyu believed her. Until some beer, or any kind of alcoholic beverage, stood in front of her. Then an offensive, and not so nice Tzuyu came to the scene. 

The rest of their members never knew about this problem the youngest had. They never knew of all the drinking, the arguments, and fights of the two. Because they wanted to keep it private, not wanting to involve any of their friends into their drama. Well, Chaeyoung didn't want that. Tzuyu simply didn't care in those moments. The older knew of all the drama with the particular four members, and she didn't want to call attention to herself and Tzuyu. The last thing she wanted was for Jihyo to have a new problem to worry about. 

So Chaeyoung kept quiet. She tried to help the younger on her own as much as possible, but it wasn't really working out for her. Since every time she'd bring it up, Tzuyu became defensive and rude. So the girl had to admit, she wasn't going to help the younger on her own. Chaeyoung felt like if she could just explain to the girl that she doesn't need it, everything would be okay. 

And yet each time, she found herself at the receiving end of Tzuyu's insults and crude remarks. But she let it go every time. Because it was Tzuyu. The nicest girl she knew. Besides Mina of course. But everyone had their flaws. Tzuyu would throw all those bad words at Chaeyoung, but she would apologize as soon as she sobered up a bit. So it made it all better for the older. 

Tzuyu was near the end of her third beer, as none other than her girlfriend walked in, her attention on Tzuyu. 

Chaeyoung was gorgeous, Tzuyu noticed as she gaped shamelessly at the older, clutching the beer bottle in her hand, waving slightly with it, holding it loosely with her thumb and index finger. 

Chaeyoung, unimpressed, raised an eyebrow. "I see you've been drinking again."

Tzuyu said nothing. She just patted the seat next to her, motioning for Chaeyoung to sit next to her. 

The older obeyed, shaking her head. "Three bottles already?" She asked surprised, picking one of the bottles up, looking at it unbelievably. "When did you even have the time to do that? We haven't even been home for a whole hour yet."

"I can make it quick if I want to." Tzuyu said smirking, leaving the bottle on the table, touching Chaeyoung's cheek leaning in. 

"You smell Tzuyu." Chaeyoung complained, avoiding the girl's kiss, but the younger caught her.
