Now That You're Gone [Hiatus]

<8>

~sana~

"sana, sana... we're home." natsuri whispered to me as she shook my body. my eyes opened as i felt a pain in my neck.

"oh my god, my neck hurts so much." i said in an annoyed tone. "well you fell asleep in a car..." "you're right. can you help me get my stuff out of the trunk?" i asked.

"of course."

we both got out of the car and walked to the trunk. natsuri opened it and got one of my luggage as i got the other.

we walked to her doorstep and she unlocked the door. we both walked inside and i could smell food. "were you cooking something?" i asked.

"yeah, figured you were going to be hungry once you came here. i prepared food, it's on the kitchen counter." she said. i thanked her and walked upstairs.

i saw a room already decorated so i figured that was natsuri's room and went to the one neighboring it.

i placed my luggage down as natsuri followed me and placed my other suitcase on the bed. "i'll let you unpack. the bathroom is down the hallway to the left. if you need anything i'll be downstairs." 

"thanks. i really appreciate it."

"it's no problem! we're cousins and should look out for each other. stay here as long as you like." she assured me.

i smiled and she left the room.

i sat down on the bed for a few minutes before getting up to unpack. i put my clothes into the closet before taking a shower.

once i finished showering, i laid down on the bed and took out my phone. i honestly do not know where tzuyu lives.

i remember the news mentioning a market so i probably should search for different markets. the market must be a walking distance from her house so it wouldn't be a problem to find out where she lives. right?

shit. i should have realized that there are more than just one market in Taiwan. i started scrolling through different ones before i finally stopped.

my members.

what will happen to them? i just suddenly left without warning and all i left was a note. A NOTE! at least i still have their numbers. if anything, i'll explain everything on the phone.

they'll understand. i hope.

i started getting stressed out so i decided to go downstairs. "hey natsuri, wanna watch a movie?" i asked. "sure! which one."

"i dunno... a detective one?" 

"woah sana, you've never watched movies like these. what's the reason?" she asked. "i just wanna know how to find out where people live." 

she stared at me with a blank face.

"i'm sorry... that came out wrong. i just want to figure out clues as to where tzuyu is." i apologize. "right... well i'll pick a really good one then!" 

"thanks."

"let's go to Fulong beach when we wake up." natsuri said. i agreed and slouched on the couch as she started the movie.

~tzuyu~

i woke up at 3:00 am with a weird feeling in my head. i lifted myself up and stared at the ceiling. i looked over to mei and she was still sleeping.

i smiled as i walked downstairs to get a glass of water. as i finished drinking it, i washed the cup and placed it on the drying rack.

"tzuyu..." i jumped and turned around to see mei. "holy shit, you scared me." i loudly whispered. mei giggled. "what are you doing up?"

"i can ask the same about you." i said. "i woke up because i heard you get out of bed." she explained. "what about you?" she continued.

"i don't know honestly. but there's this weird feeling in my head so i just decided to drink some water." i answered. "i see... care to elaborate?"

"it's like... a gut feeling. those feelings where you know something big is about to happen. i guess it's just me but i feel like something will happen tomorrow." i said.

mei nodded. "well, if it helps, we can go to Fulong beach later today. maybe it will clear your mind up a bit." she suggested.

i smiled. "that's a great idea. but we need to sleep first. it's 3:00 in the morning." i said while laughing a bit.

"right. well, i'll see you when i wake up." she said.

"we can use my mom's car. i'm sure she won't mind. i'll ask her later." i nodded and we walked back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

why do i feel like she's here?
