"Please, Sana. We need to leave. It's not healthy being here and you know it!" Momo yelled.

Sana stood by her bed as Mina threw her belongings into a suitcase. Momo was cross armed, looking at Sana with a concerned look. Sana didn't want to leave; she had too many memories in Japan just to leave, and because of one person. She knew deep inside that she had to abandon it all and restart in Korea, but it felt like such a burden to do so.

"Momo, you don't understand. I can't just leave my home, my life. It's all too much.."

The latter sighed and walked over to her, embracing her tightly. Mina stopped packing to join the hug when Momo motioned for her to do so. "It's okay, Sana. I know it's it's hard move from somewhere so familiar to somewhere so foreign. Especially leaving your childhood behind, it's difficult," she whispered. "But we're with you. We won't let you go. Now, this is for the best, and our flight is in almost 16 hours to Korea. Can you please do us both a favor and pack your bags so we can start over? All of us?"

Her words fell deep into her brain as she processed what was happening. She had to leave. She had to get away. From here.

From her.

"Okay.. let's go," the blonde said, wiping the tears that fell so gently from her eyes as she packed her bags.

———————————

Glass shattered against the wall as Sana pleaded the girl to stop. "You're mine, Sana. Not hers, got it? I don't to see you with anyone else again!" She screamed as she threw yet another glass at the wall. "I own you."

"You don't own shit.." the blonde muttered under her breath. She soon regretted it as a cold hand tightly gripped the underside of her jaw.

"You know I don't like it when you mumble, baby girl. Speak up for me," the girl said. Sana slapped her hand away, backing away to the door slowly. "You don't own shit is what I said! And don't call me that anymore!"

"Sana, you have no say. I can take your friends away from you. I can take you away from them. You're mine."

———————————

Sana woke to someone shaking her shoulder. Her eyes opened, a cloudy image taking over almost immediately. She couldn't really hear anything, but she could see night sky provide the rain falling outside the huge window.

"Sana.." A voice, blurry and low, echoed around the room as her ears lightened up to her surroundings. "Hey, Sana," someone whispered. It sounded light, but concerning. A warm feeling swarmed across her face as familiar touch tingled on her stomach. She opened her eyes, her vision now clear as the girl she loved sitting up and looking right back at her.

Park Jihyo.

The latter sighed and grabbed her phone, the time reading 2:47 A.M. She sat up on the sheets and focused her eyes on the girl in front of her.

"Hey.." she whispered, surprised at how hoarse her voice sounded even when whispering. "Everything okay?"

"I should be asking you that. You were shaking and groaning, Sana," Jihyo replied. All of what she dreamed about came back to the blonde too fast and her eyes started tearing up. Jihyo noticed this and pulled the older girl into a hug, feeling the wet marks on her shirt get bigger as Sana let out everything. "Please don't leave me.."

As she said that, a crack of lightning scattered through the sky and Sana hugged Jihyo tighter. She let out broken whimpers and quiet sobs into her chest.

"Look at me, baby.." Jihyo whispered. Sana rotated so her head was facing the girl, but she couldn't make eye contact with her. It was embarrassing to get nightmares, especially about her. Two delicate fingers placed themselves under her chin and titled her head upwards. "Please?.."

The latter sniffled and locked eyes with her, not missing the glint that shined in her eyes. Jihyo cracked a smile and leaned her head against Sana's. "It's okay, Sana. It might've felt real, but you're fine, see?" The blonde nodded and sighed quietly. "I'm sorry, Jihyo-ah," she managed, hoarseness thick in her voice. "I'm sorry I can't be strong like you. I'm sorry I can't forget about things and they come back to haunt me. I'm sorry if I cause you pain or anxiety. I'm sorry for being me."

Jihyo frowned and placed both hands on the sides of Sana's face. "Don't be sorry. You're not perfect, and that's okay. I'm not strong, believe me, but you've overcome so many things. Sana, you are so beautiful and wonderful as yourself and don't let anyone, especially me, change your mind about that. I love you for you, and you should as well. Besides, I like you more when you're yourself. You're crazy and just a weirdo."

Sana smiled and gripped her hands gently. "Thank you, love," she whispered before kissing her softly. It stayed that way for a while: Sana playing with Jihyo's hands as they kissed slowly, the younger slipping phrases in every now and then to make the other girl smile. Sana climbed on top of Jihyo and laid her back onto the bed, still gently toying with her fingers.

"What did I do to deserve you, Miss Park?" she asked. The latter snaked her hands up her shirt and lightly tickled Jihyo's sides, making her giggle cutely. "I don't know, Miss Minatozaki," she replied, running her fingers through the blonde's hair. "I do know that we should sleep, hm?"

Sana smiled and wiped her tears that still sat on her cheeks. She leaned into Jihyo's chest and hugged her. "Thank you again, Jihyo, for being there. Could you sing a song for me, please?"

The younger girl laughed and ran her hand once more through the soft, blonde hair. "Anytime, love." She closed her eyes and starting singing peacefully.

Seems like we've been here before, your eyes are seeing straight right through my core..

It's kinda strange, but I like it
Ain't no reason tryna' fight it, yeah..

Might be Déjà vu
First time we met, but I remembered you..

We were creepin' in the night time
Maybe in another lifetime..

Don't tell me you don't feel what I feel right now,
Ooh, it's written all over you..

Don't tell me you don't feel what I feel somehow,
Ooh, I keep findin' my way back to you..

She stopped singing and felt slow breathing against her chest. Jihyo gently patted the girl's head, resting her eyes for the day to come.

"I won't stop loving you, my shiba. Never, ever."
