Missing Memories (Tzuyu X TWICE)

Chapter 21

3rd Person POV

Chaeyoung and Tzuyu finished their jam making session and cleaned up their table. Tzuyu collected the jars that Chaeyoung had filled while the older girl made a phone call to their manager to pick them up. They walked back to where their manager had dropped them off to see that he had already arrived.

They greeted their manager as they entered the van. Tzuyu went straight to the far-right backseat, placed the jars of jam in the back trunk, and buckled her seatbelt; while Chaeyoung told their manager the directions for their next destination before sitting on the other side of Tzuyu and buckling her own seatbelt. She resumed her story telling session with Tzuyu who became very eager to hear what the older girl had to say.

Chaeyoung noticed Tzuyu starting to nod off after about 10 minutes into her story telling time. She giggled as she watched the younger girl's head fall forward slightly before quickly jerking up right. She took off her seatbelt and moved to the empty centre seat between them and guided Tzuyu's head to lie on her shoulder, making sure that her seatbelt was buckled.

Tzuyu's body subconsciously tensed at the sudden contact but started to relax once Chaeyoung started to stroke Tzuyu's head. Chaeyoung continued her story time albeit in a whisper as to not disturb the sleeping girl on her shoulder. Tzuyu smiled in her sleep as Chaeyoung reminisced about their adventures at Hanlim.

Chaeyoung felt her eyelids slowly becoming heavy. She tried to keep them open but succumbed to sleepiness in the end. Her hand intertwined with Tzuyu's hand as her head leaned against the younger girl's head that was on her shoulder just as she entered dreamland.

A smile formed on their manager's lips when he looked into the rear-view mirror, "I would ship ChaeYu."

Another 10 minutes passed before Chaeyoung's face scrunched up and her eyes started to open. She looked around at the surroundings as her eyes adjusted to the light and guessed that they would arrive at their destination in two minutes. She looked down at her shoulder to find that Tzuyu was still sleeping.

Chaeyoung noticed that her hand was intertwined with Tzuyu's hand and gently squeezed the younger girl's hand. Tzuyu subconsciously responded by squeezing back, causing a warm smile to form on Chaeyoung's lips. Chaeyoung liked how soft Tzuyu's hand felt and how it fit perfectly with her own hand.

Tzuyu started to pucker her lips as if she was kissing someone. Chaeyoung giggled at how Tzuyu's sleeping habits had not changed over the years that she has known the girl. Her eyes looked down at Tzuyu's lips. She gulped at how soft Tzuyu's lips looked and could feel the urge to steal a kiss from the younger girl form inside her.

Their manager's declaration that they had arrived at the destination broke Chaeyoung out of her trance. Chaeyoung shook her head before looking around at their surroundings and confirming that they had arrived. She mentally sighed that she did not steal a kiss from Tzuyu but was thankful that their manager had stopped her from doing something that would make Tzuyu uncomfortable.

"Could have just been like the old days," Chaeyoung thought to herself.

Chaeyoung gently shook Tzuyu in an attempt to wake the younger girl up. Tzuyu groaned in response to Chaeyoung shaking her but did not open her eyes. Chaeyoung let out a sigh as she began to shake Tzuyu a bit harder. Tzuyu once again responded with a groan but wrapped her arms around Chaeyoung's body. Chaeyoung froze at the contact and a blush started to form on her cheeks.

"T-T-Tzuyu! W-w-wake up!" Chaeyoung stuttered.

"Hmmmm... Five more minutes..." Tzuyu replied in her sleep.

"But we're here!" Chaeyoung managed to yell.

Tzuyu finally opened her eyes upon hearing that they had arrived. She subconsciously broke away from the hug with Chaeyoung and sat up right. She stretched her arms as she felt rejuvenated from her nap. She looked around at the surroundings; her eyes landed on the blushing girl beside her.
