"Tzuyu, are you really okay? You're acting weird."
Sana can't help but to ask the robot in front of her who was walking back and forth while nodding to herself. It was okay for Sana at first, but Tzuyu continued marching around like a toy soldier for around five minutes already.
"I'm good." Tzuyu stops walking to look at Sana properly, "I'm feeling better when you're here. So don't leave me alone."
"Tzu, I already told you a couple of times already, I'm not going to leave you." Sana reassures her. Although Sana sounded calm and cool while saying it, the truth is, she was already dying inside just because of Tzuyu's request that almost sounded like a demand.
"What even made you think that I left you earlier?" Sana asks to divert her attention to Tzuyu.
"You... took long." Tzuyu ducks her head, "I thought you secretly went out and never came back."
"Tzu," Sana stands up from sitting at Tzuyu's bed. "Did you really think that I left you just because I took time in wearing these clothes?" She asks referring to Mina's pajamas.
Still with her head hung low, Tzuyu still managed to nod her head. The action made Sana unconsciously step forward to hold both of Tzuyu's cheeks and raise her head up to meet her eyes, "I'm your friend right?"
Tzuyu remained standing. Sana waited for a few moments since she doesn't know if Tzuyu didn't hear her speak or just because she doesn't want to answer her question.
Sana sighs, "Friends don't leave each other."
"But Sana," Tzuyu counters. She was about to speak again until a sudden flash of light followed by a loud thud echoed loudly inside the room.
Sana squeals as her hand quickly moved from Tzuyu's cheeks to her nape, clinging on it tightly as if her life depended on it. The robot however, didn't know what to do since it looked like Sana was in state of panic. And so, Tzuyu could only wrap her arms around the trembling Sana in front of her.
"It's okay, I'm here." Tzuyu whispers near Sana's ear to comfort the girl.
It seemed like the table have turned for the two. Tzuyu was now the one who was reassuring the panicking girl while Sana was still recovering from the shock that the thunder gave her.
Sana and Tzuyu could hear the rain drops knocking on Tzuyu's window harshly. Dahyun was right, there really was a storm coming and it looks like it won't stop until the next day.
"Hey lovebirds, how u doin'?--"
Mina's voice and entrance was so sudden that Sana and Tzuyu didn't have enough time to remove each other's arms encircled to their bodies. What made the two more embarrassed is that Mina was still on a call with Dahyun and Chaeyoung in a loudspeak.
"Minari, what happened?" The cub's voice woke Mina's senses up again from being surprised.
"I can explain," Sana detaches her arm on Tzuyu's nape.
"Take a picture! Take a picture!" Dahyun's voice replaces Chaeyoung who also chanted the same words with the tofu. "Take a picture! Take a picture!"
"Was that Dahyun?" Sana asks and was about to go to Mina's direction but Tzuyu's arm was still encircled on her waist. "Tzuyu, you could now... you know," the shiba gestures to her arms.
Tzuyu sighs before removing her arms on Sana. She won't lie to herself, but she hated how Mina cut off their moment by coming inside her room without notice. It was suppose to be the right time to take back her words that disappointed Sana earlier.
