Forget Me Not [ satzu ]

In the Circle Park, Sana pulled the engine and pours her frustration as she cried. She doesn't know how long she had been there, crying. But the sun has proven that she did not rest the whole night.

Thinking of the people she could trust, she then called Yiren. She thought calling Dylan after she has rejected him is not a good idea.

"Yiren-ah..." Sana cried as the younger one picks up.

"Hey, are you okay? Are you crying?" Yiren asked on the other line, worried.

"I'm at Circle Park, can you please come and see me?" Sana retorted. Her voice cracking.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be there in twenty minutes. I thought you were with CEO Chou," Yiren said.

"Technically, I am with her last night, but now... I'll tell you the rest of the details when you get here," Sana explained. After the call, Sana waited 'til Yiren arrived.

Quickly, she walks out of her vehicle and hugs Yiren.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Yiren asked as they pulled away.

Wiping off Sana's tears with her thumbs, she noticed that Sana's eyes were red and swollen in too much crying, the dark circle under her eyes was visible, and her hair was a bit messy. She looks like a living zombie.

At her sight, Yiren wanted to laugh, but her sympathy stops her and comforted Sana in the process.

As Sana finally calmed, she started to share her story with Yiren.

"I'm sorry. Actually, I have known that for a while now. I've found it out as I was getting your stuffs at the Kwon's house for our sleepover and heard them talking about that. I did not mention it to you because I have planned on telling you once I found your family," Yiren explained.

"I understand," Sana replied. " But how can I tell them now that I am their lost family? How can I approach them after all this shit? Where will I begin? I don't even know where Nayeon-unnie is living right now. I missed them," Sana admits.

"I knew where. I'll take you there. Hand me your key, I'll drive. you look stressed." Yiren said.

"Thank you, Yiren. I don't know what else to do without you," Sana said and pulled Yiren into another embrace.

A moment after, she handed the younger one her key and they drove somewhere.

Meanwhile, Tzuyu turns to her side to hug her beloved. To her dismay, her secretary was no longer there.

'Where is she? Uh, maybe she's at the kitchen cooking something just like what she usually did back then,' Tzuyu thought and smiled she recalls the intimate night she shared with Sana.

Getting up, she then gathered her clothes on the floor and wore them before heading towards the kitchen.

Sadly, she couldn't see her there and she started to get worried. She checks on the kitchen, but she found no one—nor sign of Sana.

'Where could she be?' She thought while looking all over the place. She tried calling the latter, but Sana is not answering her calls.

Frustrated, Tzuyu clenched her jaw, ready to throw her phone 'til she saw a piece of paper on the bedside table. She took the paper that reads.

“Tzuyu,

By the time you read this, I've probably reached my destination. I knew it's not me you were thinking the whole night while we were doing the dirty. Don't worry, I won't oblige you to stay with me because of that. Besides, it was just lust anyway. I think it's better if we part our ways. Let's just forget it, pretend it did not happen, and be back to being the CEO and the secretary. Also, I'll be sending my resignation letter soon. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you.

Eunbi,”

Right after she read the message, she crumpled the note while wiping her tears.

"So, it was just lust, huh?" She mumbled. With her intimidating look, she prepared her stuffs and head towards Nayeon's house for Sana's birthday.
