Tzuyu

After swimming, me and Sana started packing our things since we had to go back to the dorm. 

Chaeyoung went ahead back to the city since she had some "business" to do.

Sakura offered to take us back home and we gladly accepted it. We boarded the car and traveled back home.

Sana fell asleep, probably tired after swimming. "Sakura." I called her out.

"Hm?"

"Do you have any plans today?" I asked her. She took out her phone and checked her reminders. "No actually, why?"

"Can you take Sana out today? I have somewhere to go to. I don't want her to be alone all day."

"Sure."

"One more thing Sakura, she can't know we planned this."

"Whatever you say."

I thanked her as she smiled back. In going to visit someone very important today, and I can't tell Sana about it.

Once we got back to the dorm, Sakura immediately asked Sana to go with her somewhere. "Tzu can I go?"

"Uhm yeh sure." I said. She hugged me and got back in the car. They drove off and I was left alone to carry out stuff.

I put Sana's luggage in her room and I put mine in my room. I rested for a bit and took a quick shower.

While changing, someone called me.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"Yah sorry, I'm still changing, I'll be there in 30 minutes."

"30 minutes? You need to go now."

"It's hard to get a cab."

"I sent my driver to fetch you now come on." I ended the call and changed as quickly as I could.

Then I heard honking outside. Wow that was fast.

I rushed out and was greeted by the driver and some body guards.

"Ms. Chou, your mother is expecting you."

The body guard said and opened the door. I got in and they drove me to the hotel my mom was staying in.

She prepared an event for the death anniversary of my Dad. It was supposed to be in Taiwan, but half of our relatives lives here in South Korea.

As soon as I got down, my mom rushed to hug me. "Mom, I miss you." I said.

"You look haggard, is this the cause of living in Seoul." She said jokingly. "I prepared a nice dress for you. Go change."

"Mom, I want to feel comfortable." I pouted. "Tzu, darling, this event isn't just for you father. You're graduating soon, you need to attract many suitors as early as now."

Suitors?!

I gulped. "She won't have a hard time with that mom." I heard a voice from behind. "Oppa." I rushed to hug Mark oppa, my older brother.

We all got in and I was shocked to see how proper the event looks. It looks too grand.

"Mom invited all our company's business partners." Mark said. Oh that explains it. "What for?" I asked. "There's a huge business convention in Busan and I heard mom was planning to find new partners." I scoffed.

Why though? I mean our family is the one of the largest share holder in Taiwan thanks to Dad's hardwork and I don't see why mom needs new partners. "What's the point?"

"I don't know too sis, but if we ever question mom she'll scold us." I sighed.

I thought about what mom said to me earlier. That she wants me to attract suitors. I feel guilty knowing that I can never have the strength to introduce Sana to our family.

All they'll think of her is low and unfitting, and it breaks my heart just thinking about it.

I'm sorry Sana.
