赤い糸 - Red String of Fate

Chapter 49 - é

"Achoo!" Jeongyeon covers her own mouth while the other drying hair, "Told you"

"Tss, blaming me again?" Sana teased.

"Noooooo, ㅋㅋㅋ"

"I'm fine tho" Sana said smugly.

"I'm fine tho" Jeongyeon scoffed.

"Does that means we should take care of each other? uwu so sweet" Sana smiled to herself.

Jeongyeon cringe, "Ew, what's wrong with you? I think you're sick"

Sana glares, "you NO FUN"

"Then why did you ask me to be your girlfriend?" Jeongyeon teasingly smiles at her.

"coz! I ! Like ! You ! Pabo!" Sana hits Jeongyeon's back.

"HAHAHAHAHAH!" Jeongyeon laughs like a llama, flattered but laughing to hide it.

Sana hits her again, harder.

"yah! ㅋㅋㅋ, by the way, why it doesn't heal overnight?" Jeongyeon sudden curious.

Sana thinks for a while, "hmmm... I wonder why too... maybe just wounds?"

"when I was small, I ever get a very bad fever like a week, so maybe that's the case," Jeongyeon nods several times as she get the point.

"I had it too, yet I didn't really think about it, just realized that in this age, i'm dumb" Sana hits her own head.

*Ding Dong

Mina came in, they all gathered and ready to go, but Jeongyeon said there is one more person yet refused to tell them who is the person.

"you both know this person" Jeong said.

"who? your sister?" Sana asked.

"No, no, let's just wait" Jeongyeon refused to tell again.

Mina just nods and sit on the high stool quietly.

Sana curiousity arise, "just tell us, Jeongyeon, is it really hard?? just to say the nAmE?"

"just wait for a while, it won't be a surprise anymore if I just tell-

*Ding Dong

"there she is" Jeongyeon walks to open the door for the person. Sana and Mina eyes direction stuck at the door, both curious.

T-TZ!!! Tzuyu...

Sana abruptly jump down from the high stool and dash to hugs the tall figure without sayin a word.

Comfortable silence starts to fill the air.

Jeongyeon just quietly sits beside Mina. They could hear the sniffling from the scene direction. Sana couldn't hold herself, the tears just escaped from her eyes.

"Looks like someone really miss me" Tzuyu ruffles the older's hair and wiped the tears with her own thumb.

"of course, you bastard" Sana softly hits her.

"language" Tzuyu flicked Sana's forehead.

"Yah!" Sana rubs her forehead and leave Tzuyu, grumpily sit on a high stool.

Tzuyu followed suit, sitting beside her.

Sana frowned, "Jeongyeon, Tzuyu explains this"

"explain what?" Jeongyeon being ignorant.

Tzuyu turns her head to Jeongyeon, expecting her to explain on her behalf.

Jeongyeon already asked about it before planning this, about whether Tzuyu had settled her internal conflict or not. Tzuyu did, that's why she has no problem for joining today and she has something to tell Sana too, so she asked favor from Jeongyeon, to meet Sana again.

Jeong chuckles, "pfft, why all of you lookin at me like that?"

(still staring at Jeong)

Jeongyeon sighs, "fine, fine, me and Tzuyu planned for this" Tzuyu just nods as a yes,

"going to umm... somewhere else, ㅋㅋㅋ Should we go now?" Jeongyeon stands up.

"go where?" Sana asked.

"i'm sure it will be fun, let's go" Jeongyeon shrugged off the question.

Sana was scoffing as they are heading out, start to get annoyed of this Jeongyeon, keeps refusing to tell.

.

.

They booked a taxi, Tzuyu sits on the front seat, showed the driver her phone for the location before heading off. On the back seat, Mina, Jeongyeon and Sana sits peacefully.

🎶

Music from the radio is the only thing they hear while the car speeding off to somewhere.

🎶

Tzuyu take a look at the mirror and saw Mina staring out the window all the time. Jeongyeon who sits in the middle is looking back at Tzuyu at the mirror and mouthed 'what?' Tzuyu just shakes her head in response and saw Sana resting her head on Jeong's shoulder.

.

.

"Achooo!!" Jeongyeon sneeze breaks the silence.

(chuckles)

"you're so weak, hun" Sana muttered while her head still on her shoulders.

"you okay?" Tzuyu asks.

"ㅋㅋㅋ, i'm okay Tzu, it's her fault, not taking care of her own health" Jeongyeon softly pinched the younger cheeks

"last time you're the one who get sick, now you again," Sana scoffed, " Tss, i'm okay tho, you're just too weak, ㅋㅋ"

"that time I was drenched by the rain, so it's normal to be sick in that situation" Jeongyeon being defensive.

"Tss, what kind of people who deliberately get herself drenched by the rain? this person must be an idiot" Sana smirked.

Jeongyeon let go of Sana from her shoulders, "what did you say?"

Mina turned her head and look at them, sensing they might bicker more because their volume is increasing, but clueless how to stop these two.

Tzuyu panicked, "woah, we're here! we're here! come on let's go"

Tzuyu is the savior today

[at the café]

They are browsing the menu, Sana sits beside Tzuyu, in front of Tzuyu there is Mina who is zoning out, she got something in her mind, confused.

I never had a crush on Tzuyu, but why can i see it?

"Why you're looking at me like that?" Tzuyu question snapped Mina into reality, it also made the other two to look at Mina.

"umm.." Mina panicked, "it just.. it just,, your cheeks..."

"what's wrong with my cheeks?" Tzuyu asked again, puzzled, rubbing her own cheeks.

"red string..." Mina said, yet she also confused to herself.

"you can see my red string!?" Tzuyu jaw dropped.

Jeongyeon laughs, "Hahahahah, you're exactly the same as me, Tzu"

"same what?" Tzuyu puzzled.

"when i know Mina could see my red string, ㅋㅋㅋ" Jeongyeon keep chuckling, Sana follows.

"oohh..." Tzuyu's mind just processed the information, so Mina is not my soulmate Tzuyu scratched her nape.

"good morning, may I have your order?" said the waitress wearing caps.

Jeongyeon find the voice is so familiar, she lower her head and tilted to see that person's face, her eyes widened when she saw the waitress face.

"Nayeon!?"
