赤い糸 - Red String of Fate

Chapter 27 - Sorry Sana

"Where's Tzuyu?" Mina asked.

Sana looks at Jeongyeon, hoping she would answer that question.

"Umm, She couldn't join us, So let's eat" Jeongyeon grab the food.

Mina stares blankly at Jeongyeon's Red String and realized something did happen yesterday If Jeongyeon really did launch her plan. Because it looks a little bit more red. She took a glance at Sana, She thought she will have different expression as usual, But she was blushing while eating the sandwich.

"Your cheeks are red, Sana," Mina said, pointing at Sana's cheeks.

"Really?" Sana embarrassed, covering her cheeks with one of her hand.

"Hahah, why are you blushing while eating the sandwich, You likes sandwich that much?" Jeongyeon teased.

"Nooo, It's not the sandwich! It just, just... JUST Eat Your Breakfast!"

It's Jeongyeon fault! Yesterday she did say she loves me indirectly!

Anyway Tzuyu... Please attend the class!

"Hey, what happened yesterday? Did the plan went well?" Mina was curious.

"It was a success, But I feel bad..., I think I hurt Tzuyu's feelings, But this is the best for everyone" Jeongyeon sighed.

Mina pat Jeongyeon's back shoulder, "You did your best, Jeongyeon"

"Thank you, Mina" Jeongyeon buries her face in her hands on the table.

[After class]  {cafe near campus}

"We need to talk," Sana said.

"Why did you lie to me?" Tzuyu sudden question.

"Huh?"

"You said your Red String didn't appear and you have no idea about Soulmates, Now what?"

Sana sighed, "Tzuyu..."

"What!?" Tzuyu looks unpleased.

"I afraid I might hurt you," Sana said bitterly, She really did lie because Tzuyu is sensitive, She afraid she might get jealous or else.

"Lie is a lie, Sana"

"..."

Tzuyu gets bitter, "Is it because I came to you every day? Because I'm more obsessed with you? My clinginess made you uncomfortable? And pressured you?"

"..." Sana lost for words, then sadly looks at Tzuyu,

Tzuyu frowned, "You should have told me, You don't need to lie!"

"..."

Tzuyu doesn't look like she is furious or else, She is disappointed and... sad, Heartbroken. Deep inside, she still wants to spend time with Sana, But she stands up instead, and walk away and took a last glance at Sana. They exchanged a sorrowful eye-contact before Tzuyu took her leave, Then Sana only watched tearfully at Tzuyu walking away.

Sorry Sana, I had no other choices, But to leave

Tzuyu awkwardly smiles, "Hi, Umm... Sorry to make you wait"

"Hi Tzuyu," Jeongyeon smiled to hide her racing heartbeat.
