Forget Me Not [ satzu ]

"You won't believe it. I saw... I saw a ghost in the restroom." Chaeryoung said while panting. She ran out of fear into their office.

"Ghost your ass. If there is a thing such as a ghost, Sana-unnie should have shown herself to us." Chaeyoung retorted without glancing at her office mate. She thought the latter was just fooling them again.

"Well, you better believe me this time. I saw a ghost—I saw Sana-unnie in the comfort room. She even says hi." Chaeryoung said and dragged Somi and Chaeyoung towards the comfort room.

Unfortunately, the latter was no longer there.

"Seriously, what kind of joke is this? It's been years since she left us." Somi said.

"I swear. I saw her here. She's standing in front of this mirror earlier." Chaeryoung said.

"If you saw a ghost, I mean, if it actually happened and you saw Sana-unnie I would be glad If I were you. But we all know ghosts are just make-believe, meaning they don't exist." Chaeyoung rebutted while crossing her arms.

"I'm not joking. I saw her for real." Chaeryoung said. The three girls then returned to their office.

Later that night, Tzuyu handed her secretary a stack of files.

"Sa- miss Kwon, arrange these files and our meeting schedule with president Kang," Tzuyu said while handling the files. She leaned closer to Eunbi as she can't help smelling her scent.

'She's not her, she's not Sana. She's not your girlfriend.' Tzuyu scolded herself, but instead of pulling away, she ended up staring at Eunbi's lips.

As for Eunbi, she felt uncomfortable at the way Tzuyu looks at her.

'What's wrong with this girl? If you're not my boss. I would have punched you in the guts.' Eunbi thought as she accepted the files.

Noticing that Tzuyu is not letting go of the papers, she then fake a cough.

"Aheem! Miss Chou, would you mind?" Eunbi asked, but Tzuyu was lost in her deep thought that she didn't hear what her secretary was saying until someone spoke behind her.

"Excuse me, Tzu, Yoona ask- Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you." Nayeon said as she noticed their position.

Quickly, Tzuyu released the files and both kept their distance. As for Nayeon, she was about to leave when she realized who was with Tzuyu.

"Wait, that's Sana," Nayeon said. She then approaches the new girl and pulled her into a hug.

"Sana, you scared us." Nayeon started. She then cupped Eunbi's face and she broke the hug.

"You squirrel...Where have you been, huh? I was so worried they almost sent me to the rehab." Nayeon confessed as she was getting emotional. This confused Eunbi, again.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Eunbi asked. Nayeon just looks at her for a moment and flicked her forehead.

"Ahh, what was that for? I am just asking. Why did you do that?" Eunbi asked, she then rubs her forehead while pouting.

The small action made the Taiwanese girl smile while watching them. This reminded her of Sana whenever the cousins tease each other back then.

"How dare you asked me like that, huh? In case you forget I am a year older than you, and after you disappeared for a hundred years, now you still have time to fool around. You squirrel..." Nayeon nags at her and flicks her forehead again.

"Yah, that hurts. I honestly don't know who you are. And why are you calling me squirrel? Are you blind? I am human, just like you I have a name." Eunbi rebutted, she's starting to get annoyed at Nayeon.

"Ouch! That was the most offensive joke you have ever told me." Nayeon stated.

"I'm serious. I don't know you. This is the first time I saw you." Eunbi explained.

"If this is a kind of joke, it ain't funny," Nayeon said.

'What is wrong with these people? They've been hugging me since I came here and mistook me as someone I don't even know.' Eunbi thought.

A moment after, Tzuyu pulled Nayeon on the side while Eunbi drowns herself in her work.

"I'm sorry, unnie. I forget to inform you about her. That girl is my new secretary and you just mistook her as Sana. She's Kwon Eunbi." Tzuyu explained as she's stealing a glance at her secretary.

"Tzuyu, stop joking. It's not working." Nayeon said.

"I am not kidding. I also thought she's Sana when I first saw her. The other girls also thought the same. I rechecked her records and confirmed she is Eunbi although part of me says otherwise. Her voice, her scent, and her looks were exactly the same as Sana's and we all know that no two persons are the same. Even identical twins have their differences." Tzuyu explained.

"So the other girls have seen her?" Nayeon asked.

"Yeah, and I think she's hiding something," Tzuyu said.

After the explanation, Nayeon excused herself and left without saying a word to Eunbi.

A few hours later, her work has finally ended. As she was fixing her stop, her phone buzzed. She then answered it immediately as she saw the caller ID.

"Eunbi, Dylan is outside the company. He said we should celebrate our achievement. What do you say?" Yiren said on the other line.

"Well, that's great. I'm glad we could hang out together. I missed him. I haven't seen him for awhile." Eunbi said and smiled as she ended the call.

'Who could it be?' Tzuyu thought as she listened to Eunbi's conversation with her friend on the phone. She then decided to follow the latter on her way out of the building.

As they stepped out of the company she then saw another girl with the same ID lace with their employees. The latter clang to Eunbi as they walk to the parking lot.

There, she saw a tall guy. He approaches Eunbi and Yiren with flowers and kisses the girl's cheek before opening the car's door for them.

'Why do I even feel this way? She's not Sana in the first place.' Tzuyu thought as she walks back to her office with a heavy shoulder.
