Flowers Tied in Knots || SaTzu oneshot

SANA

"Hey, unnie!"

A tall girl ran beside me and I smiled at her, "Hi, Tzu."

"Where are you going? I thought you're about to go home."

I was about to say something but I stumbled a little and Tzuyu chuckled, "Clumsy as always"

I pouted, "What are you even doing here? Mina must be looking for you."

Myoui Mina is my best friend as well as Tzuyu's girlfriend. It just hurts me to see them together but I'm happy if Tzuyu is happy with Mina. That's what all hopeless romantic people always say right? They're happy when the one they love is happy in the arms of another person. Obviously, I'm one of those hopeless romantic.

Tzuyu shrugged her shoulders, "Can't I be with my unnie?"

I didn't answer. My heart starts to beat faster as my breathing gets heavier. I can sense that I was about to cough so I ran away from Tzuyu. She shouted my name but I didn't look back. I may tell her about my condition and ask to reciprocate my feelings for her. But I couldn't do that because I look like someone who doesn't want to die with Hanahaki disease and wants to achieve my own happiness. Such selfishness.

I loved Tzuyu since the beginning of time but I always remind myself that she only looks at me as her one and only unnie. All this time I thought she likes me back but maybe I was just assuming. She acted different around me the moment she and Mina dated. Maybe a little distant when she's around me.

I sighed as I went inside the hospital and asked my doctor if I still have time to undergo a surgery.

"All these flowers in my lungs are nothing compared to how painful love is. Maybe it's time to let go." I said to myself while holding the pendant that Tzuyu gave me.

"Good evening, Dahyun" I bowed at her

She gave me a warm smiled and gestured me to sit, "How are you? Are you still coughing flower petals?"

"I might be vomiting petals anytime"

Dahyun gave me a worried face, "So are you here for the surgery?"

I nodded, "I'm ready"

She cleared her throat, "It's not going to be easy, Sana.  Chances of you dying in the middle of the surgery is very high but I'm going to do my best so please make sure that you're really ready. I'll give you three days."

I frowned, "Why not tomorrow?"

"Give Tzuyu a hint that she will not be able to meet the old Sana ever again."

I paused for a bit, "I will lose memories that I shared with her right?"

Dahyun nodded, "Sana, this will not be easy for you and for her. You will lose everything that you shared with Tzuyu including your feelings and your memories with her. She might be surprised the next day that you don't remember her. Wouldn't that hurt her?"

I didn't answer so she continued, "I will only say this once. Everything will go back to normal as long as Tzuyu finally decided to reciprocate your feelings."

That will be impossible. My memories and feelings will never go back. I want to let go but my heart still yearns for Tzuyu.

I nodded, "I understand, Dahyun. In three days, I'll be back."

"Sure, Sana. I'll be waiting"

I smiled at her, "Thank you, Dahyun"

"Good morning, Sana unnie"

My eyes widened to see Tzuyu in front of my doorstep. What the heck is she doing here?
