Still Into You

16

Tzuyu returned to his apartment totally soaked and frustrated. He immediately searched for his phone to call Sana, hoping the latter will answer. A moment after dialing her number, he heard Sana's phone ringing and that's when he noticed her bag on the couch.

"Shit!" Tzuyu cussed. He started walking back and forth thinking about what he will do next. He decided to call Dahyun and meet up with him.

Right now, Dahyun and Tzuyu are on a private mini-bar owned by Chaeyoung. He tells Dahyun everything.

"Man, I messed up." Tzuyu said.

"You really did and I can't blame Sana if she said those. You hurt her bad, man. I get that you are upset, but accusing her of cheating is an understatement. She probably has a reason why she didn't tell you about it." Dahyun scolded him.

"I don't know what to do. I felt bad." Tzuyu said and drank his beer.

"You should tho. I've seen her so vulnerable when you left for the U.S. without telling any of us and she turned down those men who tried to provoke her. Do you really think she will betray you behind your back? Look, arguments are always part of a relationship but it depends on how you handle it. If you let your pride, your jealousy, your ego to take over, everything you created will fall apart just like a sandcastle. Whoa! I think I said too much and man, if Chaeyoung is here he will probably knock your head." Dahyun chucked.

"That is why I'm here for. I know you will knock some sense into my head." Tzuyu said. He felt a little light when he talks to his best buddies.

"Now, now, to the royal advise..." Dahyun trailed off as he took the glass from Tzuyu and put it to the side. "That beer was just warm-up. You don't have to get wasted. Go home and rest. Don't think too much and tomorrow, you better apologize to them. Yeah, you heard me. Them—that includes Eunbi." Dahyun said.

Meanwhile, Sana headed to her cousin's apartment instead of going to her parents as she did not want them to worry about her. As Mark opened the door, Sana hugs him and cried.

"What happened?" Mark asked. She then shared their arguments as Mark comforted her.

The next day, Tzuyu went to the Minatozaki family with a bouquet of white roses. He talks to Sana's parents and apologizes.

After their conversation, he left with Hyeseong to the Infinity company. He immediately looks for Sana as they arrived at the building but the latter was not there so, Tzuyu decided to go to his own company—the Inheritance—as he has some important meeting.

He checked on Hyeseong every 30 minutes if Sana has arrived but Sana's sister was making up an excuse to stop them from talking. She got even closer to Tzuyu in this situation.

Days have passed and these keep on happening. They haven't talk yet as Sana keeps on ignoring him. Whenever he tried to talk to her, she will make an excuse to avoid him. She was really hurt by his accusations.

As for Tzuyu, he was eager to fix their relationship. One afternoon, he went to Eunbi and apologized. The two were still talking when Sana came, but when she so Tzuyu she stepped back. The Taiwanese man walks after her 'til the reached the parking lot.

"Sana, please talk to me." Tzuyu said while they were heading to Sana's car. "Just listen, okay? Let's fix this, us."

"Why should I?" Sana asked coldly as she turned to him. "You didn't listen when I was the one asking you to hear me out. So why should I?"

"Sana, I'm sorry. Please talk to me. I can't stand like this anymore." Tzuyu said.

"Then why are you here? You can just leave you know. No one is asking you to come after me anyway. Excuse me, I have to go." Sana said as she opened the car door and left. Tzuyu could only sigh while looking at Sana's car.

A moment after, Hyeseong called. She told him she wanted to show him something and that she is currently waiting outside his company.

When he reached in front of the building he saw Hyeseong sitting at the bench.

"What is it that you wanted to show me?" He asked as he walks towards the latter.

"Let me drive the car I'll take you there." Hyeseong said while smiling sweetly.

"Lead the way, Ms. Yang." Tzuyu said as he handed her the key. The two then headed back to his black limo.

Hyeseong brought him to her new penthouse just a few blocks away from Tzuyu's apartment.

"Welcome to my new house." She said as they entered the house. She pours them a glass of wines.

"This place is nice." Tzuyu said while looking around.

"I know you'll like it." Hyesong said confidently and played music. "Come dance with me."

Tzuyu felt something odd at her action but shrugged it off as he thought she just wanted to celebrate with him.

As the two started dancing, Hyeseong pulled Tzuyu closer to her and hid on his chest as she confused her love. "Tzuyu, I... I love you."

"Yeah, of course, I know that. I love you too." Tzuyu said not knowing that the latter was taking it in a different way.

Hyeseong looked at him happily and pulled him into a kiss. Tzuyu was caught off guard at the sudden kiss.

"I know you love me too." Hyeseong said as she broke the kiss and was about to kiss him again but Tzuyu stopped him.

"Wait, wait." Tzuyu said.

"Why? What's the problem? I thought you love me." Hyeseong said and tried to kiss him again yet Tzuyu held her still.

"Hyeseong, I mean it when I said I love you-" He said and was being cut by the younger one.

"Then why can't I kiss you? I love you longer than you think I did. I've been loving you since college." Hyeseong confessed.

"Hyeseong, please listen okay? I do love you, but not in a romantic way." He said while holding both of Hyeseong's shoulder. "I'm in love with your sister. Yes, we are not in good terms right now but it doesn't mean we are over. I still love her. It's been her and always be her. I'm sorry." Tzuyu said and pulled Hyeseong into a hug. "I'm sorry." With that, he pulled away and left after.

"I hate you Sana! I hate you!" Hyeseong said as her tears started falling.

Later that night, Sana looked at her wristwatch as she finished her paper works. She then fixed her things and headed out.

Just as she was about to reach her car, someone covered her nose with a handkerchief. Sana tried to struggle but failed. Fear began to consume her as a familiar scene from five years ago replayed in her memory while trying to free herself from the stranger. Then, she lost consciousness.
