Sana didn't hear anything from Tzuyu the next day.

At work on Monday, Sana kept sneaking glances, over her shoulder, at the door. It was nearing lunch time and she was hoping Tzuyu would stop by.

"You know, you could at least try and be less obvious," Wonwoo whispered, wheeling his chair over to Sana's desk. Sana, who was glancing at the door again, jumped, spinning back around in her chair. She gave Wonwoo an innocent look, pretending to not know what he was talking about.

"Oh come on Sana, you haven't taken your eyes off the door since we opened," he said, rolling his eyes. "You wouldn't happen to be waiting for a certain CEO to stop by, would you?" he asked innocently.

'How do you know about Tzuyu?' she signed back as her cheeks turned pink.

Wonwoo laughed, "Aside from the fact that she's been in here every couple of days for the past three weeks? Mina told me." Sana sighed, of course Mina would have mentioned it, especially because Wonwoo worked at the library too.

'Wonwoo, have you been gossiping with my sister again' Sana signed back, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, I mean, I wouldn't call it gossiping, but she did mention Tzuyu at the bar the other night and we might have... yeah, we were gossiping," Wonwoo rambled, a sheepish smile on his face. Sana rolled her eyes, smiling at him to show that she didn't mind.

Wonwoo's eyebrows shot up, looking at something behind Sana. "Incoming," he said, rolling his chair back over to his desk. Sana gave Wonwoo a puzzled look, before spinning her chair around to see Tzuyu walking in.

"Sana, hi!" Tzuyu said quietly, not wanting to disturb the other people in the library. She dumped some of the books she was carrying into the return slot before making her way over to the front counter.

"So, I thought I'd come and see you instead of texting you about drinks," Tzuyu said, leaning forward on the counter. She was wearing a dress that showed off her collarbones, and other assets. Sana tried not to look down, feeling her cheeks turn pink as she smiled at Tzuyu. She could see Wonwoo staring at them both from out of the corner of her eye.

'I'm free any night this week, what day's good for you?' Sana wrote down on a spare sheet of paper. Tzuyu tilted her head, looking up at the ceiling as she thought. Sana stared at the white expanse of Tzuyu's throat, her gaze moving upwards to the sharp line of her jaw, and then further up to Tzuyu's lips that were pressed together. Sana quickly looked down at the piece of paper in her hands, trying to hide her flushed face.

"How does Friday night sound to you?" Tzuyu asked, oblivious to Sana's straying thoughts. Sana nodded, writing down a reply.

'Sounds great, do you have anywhere in mind?'

"There's a bar on thirty-first street I've been dying to check out, I've heard it's really good," Tzuyu suggested, waiting for Sana's reply. Sana nodded again, smiling at Tzuyu.

"Perfect," Tzuyu grinned at Sana, "I'm just going to go and find some new books, any suggestions?"

Sana held up the paper again, with Harry Potter scrawled underneath her last reply. Tzuyu quietly laughed, "Harry Potter? Aren't they for children?"

Sana gave Tzuyu a look of mock outrage, quickly writing down another reply.

'Harry Potter is for everyone! I can't believe you haven't read them before'

Tzuyu held her hands up in a defensive gesture, "Okay, okay, Harry Potter it is, I'll be back in a second." Sana watched her wander off in search of the books. The sound of someone clearing their throat made Sana jump.

She turned to look at Wonwoo. "Harry Potter. Really?" he whispered to Sana. She shrugged her shoulders, her face flushing. "Oh man, you've got it bad," Wonwoo laughed, making Sana's face turn even redder. She pretended to ignore him.

Tzuyu walked back over with the first three Harry Potter books held close to her chest. "Here we go, three Harry Potter books," Tzuyu announced as she planted the books down on the counter, "and I'd like to check out these ASL books again," she said, sliding forward the two books she hadn't returned.

After Sana scanned all of the books they said their goodbyes, both hoping Friday came around quickly.

That night, Mina invited Sana over to her apartment for Chinese food with her and Chaeyoung. Sana picked up the food on the way and made her way over to Mina's place.

They were halfway through their food, with Sana hogging the pot stickers, when her phone vibrated. She picked it up, finding a text from Tzuyu.

I was wrong and I can't believe I've lived my whole life without reading these books.

Sana smiled down at her screen, her phone buzzing again as another message came through.

Also the bar on 31st is called The Pen, shall we meet there at 7?

Sana text back her approval, looking back up as she put her phone back down. Mina and Chaeyoung both had their chopsticks raised halfway to their mouths, with identical raised eyebrows.

"What's got you all flustered, Minatozaki?" Chaeyoung asked, a sly grin spreading across her face, "or should I say who?" Sana turned bright red, picking up another pot sticker so she could keep her hands busy.

'Just making plans to hang out with a friend' she signed back after she finished eating.

"A friend huh?" Mina questioned, "It's clearly not Wonwoo, and Mark and Eunha aren't in town, so what other friend is this?" Sana let out a deep sigh, clearly they knew she was messaging Tzuyu.

'Tzuyu and I are going for drinks on Friday, after work' Sana informed them, slowly signing so Chaeyoung could keep up.

"Drinks?" Mina echoed.

"You do realise that's a date right?" Chaeyoung chimed in.

Sana protested, gesturing widely with her hands.

'It's not a date, it's just, I don't know, it's just drinks' Sana signed back, feeling her cheeks turn pink as she said it. Mina and Chaeyoung dropped the topic, not wanting to embarrass Sana.

"You do like her though right? I'm just checking," Chaeyoung asked curiously. Sana nodded in reply.

"Like as in like like," Mina elaborated. Sana rolled her eyes at them both.

'Yes as in like like, but I think she needs a friend right now more than anything else' Sana signed back, thinking about how Tzuyu's face always lit up when she was around Sana.

Sana knew that she would do anything to keep making Tzuyu smile.
