Dialing 0923-456-1229..
My future wife

─Connecting─

"..."

"H-Hello?"

"Sana Unnie."

"W-Who's this?"

"Your future wife."

"M-My.. my future wife?"

"Yes."

"Huh? But I only have one though.. Wait, Tzuyu-yah?!"

"Is there someone else?"

"O-Of course not! But this is for real, right?! Y-You really called me!"

"Yes, Unnie.. and I want to apologize for not believing in you."

"I-It's not your fault, Tzuyu-yah! But how did you know? I-I thought you're not going to come back--"

"It's because of my new friend."

"New friend? W-Who's that?"

"Kim Dahyun. She told me everything."

"Dahyun did that?!"

"Yes, Unnie.."

"Woah.. I didn't see that coming."

"But Unnie, I think she's right."

"I-I think so too! Nothing is better than to talk to you again, Tzuyu-yah."

"The same goes with me, Unnie.. I was really scared that I'd lose you forever, that I won't be able to hear your voice again.. but why didn't you end the call and tried calling me back?"

"For what?"

"Maybe it will finally work the second time around?"

"I didn't want to risk losing you.. I-I was too scared, Tzuyu-yah.. because you told me that once the phone call ends, it's going to be the last time. I'd rather get hurt and hear your voice more.. than end it with nothing at all."

"I'm really sorry. I got carried away with what I saw. I even told you that I won't join you if I think that what you believe in is wrong, because we'll be both blinded by everything else.. but then, I was wrong. It was me who was blinded in the end."

"Tzuyu-yah.. it's okay. As long as nothing will change between us, everything is fine."

"I missed you so much, Sana Unnie.. did you miss me too?"

"H-Huh?"

"Are you still thinking?!"

"I guess I missed you a bit.."

"A bit huh? I'm disappointed in you, Sana Unnie."

"Sorry, Tzuyu-yah. But am I supposed to be missing you?"

"O-Oh I guess not.."

"Because we were always together in my heart."

"W-What?"

"It didn't feel like you were gone at all, Tzuyu-yah."

"Wow, I guess you won't change until the world ends."

"That's true.. just like my feelings for you."

"At least you're improving.."

"R-Really?! That's good! Haha."

"Haha."

"So.. would you like to marry me?"

"S-Suddenly?! Kim Dahyun was right!"

"Right about what?"

"Am I easy to get, Unnie?"

"Huh? N-Not at all!"

"Because she said that people will ask me to marry them if I'm easy to get."

"What nonsense.. ah seriously that Kim Dahyun! She should have just helped me out and left!

"But I think she could be right!"

"W-What are you saying, Tzuyu-yah?! You're very hard to get! I've been asking you to marry me since the first day that we met, but until now you rejected me!"

"Hahaha. We're not even dating, but you're already asking me to marry you?"

"Heol! I-I thought it was understood! Hey, Chou Tzuyu! After everything that we have been through, are we not official yet?!"

"Official my foot, hahaha!"

"Hey!"

"Why, Unnie?"

"Date me then!"

"Hmmm.."

"Tzuyu-yah, don't you love me?"

"I'll think about it.."

"Hey, that's strike two already!"

"Really? Then let's make it three for I love you."

"Heol.. Tzuyu-yah!"

"Let's date officially now then, Sana Unnie."

"You really do know to make my heart flutter. You're even better than me!"

"Unnie, just wait for the right time, okay? Since I'm here for you now, you don't have to worry about waiting for me anymore."

"Hmmm.. maybe not?"

"M-Maybe not?"

"Maybe I don't have to wait for anything."

"But Unnie.."

"I'm boarding the earliest flight to Taiwan tomorrow, Tzuyu-yah. I guess I'll just see you there?"

"Sana Unnie, is that for real?! But you just came back to South Korea!"

"I already asked my parents, Tzuyu-yah. When our phone call ended, I thought I'd look for you in Taiwan, then leave after seeing your face one more time. That was what I planned to do, but then.. now that you're here.. I guess there are more things that I need to look forward to."

"Unnie!"

"I'll only be there for a week though, but I was thinking.. maybe it's enough time for us to continue what we have missed before when you left?"

"T-This is for real, right?! Does this mean that I'll get to be with you again, Sana Unnie?!"

"That's right, Tzuyu-yah."

"Oh my gosh."

"Are you happy?"

"T-This is the happiest I've ever been in my whole life."

"So do you think we can start living happily forever now?"

"To be with you again is going to be the best day of my life, Sana Unnie!"

"I guess people who believe in the word 'forever' don't all end up living painfully, Tzuyu-yah. I was wrong, it's just a matter of choices and faith.. because in the end, it's always the people itself who have the right to choose how they want their story to end."

"T-That's right, Unnie!"

"So would you like to marry me now, Ms. Chou Tzuyu?"

"Once you're here, then I'll happily tell you my answer, Ms. Minatozaki Sana."

"R-Really?! I'll see you there then! I love you so much Tzuyu-yah!!"

"I love you too, Sana Unnie.. and I can't wait to be with you again, my future wife."
