Waterfall

Chapter 15

Dahyun should've known better. She should've known how Momo is by now. She hated herself for giving in, and for hoping something would happen, that Momo would change. But no, Momo was right in front of her hugging and whispering with Mina. 

Dahyun mostly hated herself because she told the girl she loved her. She felt embarrassed now, and like she had to avoid the older at all costs. It was almost like Momo was laughing at her face with her behavior. It made her want to tell Mina about what happened.

But Dahyun wasn't a snitch. She wanted to be the better person here, and not stick her nose into other's business. Like Mina did once. But the girl was forgiven, since in Dahyun's eyes it was all Momo's fault.

Momo was well aware of the situation at the moment. She knew how she managed to make Dahyun feel. And she loved it, no matter how disturbing it sounded.

She does love Dahyun, very much. But something about constantly hurting her, and reminding herself how much the younger actually loves her, appealed to her. It helped satisfy her ego.

It was Dahyun's turn to record her part of the song, but she kept messing the lyrics up, or missing the beat, or forgetting her lyrics completely.

Chaeyoung and Sana watched her sympathetically, while Tzuyu was very annoyed with her friend. She noticed that Dahyun couldn't stop starring at something behind her. When she turned around, everything was clear to her. She was looking at Momo and Mina.

Annoyed, Tzuyu walked over to the soundproof room and entered it. Closing the curtains in front of the glass window, she covered the mic.

"Get your shit together. I don't want to be here all day." Tzuyu's words were harsh, hitting Dahyun hard. "Be a professional. You have to separate work from your private life."

Tzuyu walked out, and Dahyun felt like crying. How was she supposed to separate it when her private life was following her almost everywhere she went. And now she felt even worse with the added pressure.

Chaeyoung eyed Tzuyu, who pretended not to notice, as she was walking back and standing next to Sana. The two haven't talked in a few days, ever since the last time the youngest had alcohol. Chaeyoung was reserved of course. She didn't want to be insulted and belittled every time Tzuyu felt like it. But she still very much cared about her girlfriend. Or whatever she should call her. She didn't know where they stood.

"Hey can we talk?" Chaeyoung leaned forward a bit, looking at Tzuyu.

"Okay. Talk." Tzuyu said disinterested.

"Alone?"

Tzuyu rolled her eyes, but headed to the exit anyways, and Chaeyoung followed. As soon as they were out, Tzuyu turned around, crossing her arms.

"Okay I'm going to need you to drop the attitude." Chaeyoung spoke. "What's going  on with you?"

"Nothing."

"Please... Like I don't know you." Chaeyoung got closer to the younger, gently taking her hand, intertwining their fingers. "Talk to me, Tzuyu."

The younger sighed, allowing Chaeyoung to hold her hand. Because really, she missed it. The smallest and silliest contact from the girl could make her whole day.

About her bad habits though, Tzuyu didn't have an excuse. Why she drank so much lately, she didn't know. And the recent smoking habit... She blamed her friends who came to visit her from Taiwan.

Tzuyu never knew they were heavy smokers. They were persistent, and Tzuyu was gullible. She didn't really think of the consequences. She just went with it.
