Why Can't You Say It? || SaTzu ✔️

27; my first goodbye

"So? What's your plan?" Nari asked as she walked alongside Sana. "And why am I involved?"

Sana kept silent as the pair headed towards the lake, and Nari raised her eyebrow in confusion.

"What?" Nari questioned, a little irritated that Sana wasn't answering her. 

The Japanese girl sighed as they stepped onto the docks, going to the end of the port. Sana sat on the edge and swung her legs about.

She patted the wood next to her, and Nari hesitantly sat down too.

"You see," Sana began, a wisp of sadness in her eyes. "I love Tzuyu so much. You used to love her too. But things have changed lately.

Of course, my love for her hasn't changed a bit. We've been through so much together that I think it's impossible that we couldn't have fallen in love.

But that's exactly our problem." Sana shook her head as she slightly chuckled. "Everything that we've been through together has been a problem.

I've caused so much trouble in her life that it's not even a coincidence anymore. It's as if everything I do causes her harm. I burden her life with my problems."

Nari interrupted, unsure of Sana's statement.

"What if she doesn't feel burdened by you? What if that's just something in your head?" Nari interrogated, while Sana only pondered upon it.

"W-well-" Sana stammered. "I don't know. But look at what my selfish ass caused for her. She's now in a coma and her dad is dead.

I'm a murderer, Nari. A murderer.

And I killed the love of my life's dad."

Nari sat in silence, not able to say anything. Sana chuckled.

"You've got nothing to say, now, huh? I'm right then. So I need you to help me, and I'm not taking no for an answer."

The other girl pursed her lips, gulping. It was as if there was a huge lump in her throat.

Sure, she still had lingering feelings for Tzuyu, but was this really right?

For her to help her past love have another heartbreak?

"Sana, I don't know-"

"I said I'm not taking no as an answer." Sana sternly said, glaring at Nari.

She breathed out heavily. "Go on."

Sana paused for a moment, wondering how to word it all out.

"I need you to take care of her. Treat her right. She deserves better than me."

"What do you mean?" Nari had a gut-sinking feeling.

"I'm moving back to Japan to clear my life and my mind. I'll be on hiatus for a year or so."

"But the drama-"

"-will be put on hold. Or even cancelled." Sana finished off the sentence. "And I need you to help her forget about me. Please, Nari. Treat her better than I ever could."

Nari shook her head. "No, Sana, I can't do this. I can't be the homewrecker."

"But you won't be. I'll be the home wrecker. I'll destroy everything and burn it. But you need to be the one to keep her beams up. Make her stronger than ever before."

"Sana... I know Tzuyu very well and I know that she wouldn't want you to think like this."

"But I don't want her to be hurt by me anymore. So please, do you agree?"

"Explain what I have to do again."

"Just comfort her, help her forget about me. Help her to move on and grow her career. You can do that, right?"

Nari was silent for a moment, but she knew Sana wouldn't let her go until she had said yes. She nodded her head hesitantly as Sana struggled to smile.

"Thanks. And I hope we can be on good terms now as well, if you don't mind?" She asked, sticking out her hand to meet with Nari's.

They both shook hands and stood up.

Sana smiled. "It was a pleasure doing business with you."

"Same goes for me."

*****

Nayeon cried, looking at her best friend who was now handling several luggages and putting them into the boot of her car.

"Stop crying, would you? I'll be back once my mind has been cleared." Sana patted Nayeon's shoulder.

"But I'll miss you! And Momo, and Dahyun and Tzuyu-" Nayeon stopped when she saw Sana's mood drop down. "I'm sorry. Tough topic, huh?"

Sana nodded. "It's been exactly 25 days since she's been in the coma. I can't bear to see her in pain anymore. This is all I can do right now."

Nayeon wrapped her arms around the waist of the actress as she leaned her head on Sana's shoulder.

"Please come back soon."

Sana kissed Nayeon's head. "I'll make sure to."

They let go of each other as they wiped the other's tears away.

Sana waved goodbye and began to head into the car, before hearing her name being called out.

"SANA! SANA!"

Sana looked out the window to see a panting Momo. Momo held a gift in her hand and threw it into the passenger window.

"I couldn't let you leave without me saying goodbye." She smiled. Sana stepped down from the car and ran to Momo, where they both hugged each other and cried some more.

"I'll miss you so much." Sana cried.

"Call me, everyday. Text me whenever you can. I'll come and visit you there often."

Sana held out her pinkie finger. "Promise?"

Momo nodded as she interlocked her pinkie finger. "Promise."

Jihyo rolled her eyes as she stepped out from the driver's seat.

"Hurry up, the girl has a flight to catch." Jihyo jokingly laughed.

Sana ran over to Jihyo, dragging Nayeon and Momo along with her. "Group hug!"

They all screamed as they twirled around, laughing.

The laughter soon died down as Sana let go.

"I think it's time for me to go now. I'll miss you guys."

The others nodded, unable to speak as they cried.

Sana got into the car next to Jihyo.

"Anywhere you wanna stop before we go to the airport?"

Sana nodded. "The hospital please."

"Alright then."
