Ghosted [ satzu ]

The rain has stopped and Sana was now walking back and forth outside, thinking of what to do next while looking at her phone and contemplating if she should call the group or take all the responsibility herself.

As for Tzuyu, she was dreaming about the accident that day. Beads of cold sweats form on her forehead.

In her dream, the car did not hit the tree and it fell on the cliff instead. She saw herself bleeding while asking for help as a pointed object was being impaled below her ribcage—the same place where she saw Sana's bruise—and she couldn't move her leg either.

She almost doesn't recognize her voice in so much pain. She began coughing with blood and soon she was vomiting already solid blood. With this, she laughs like a lunatic.

She made eye contact with herself through the rearview mirror and fear crawls over her body as she felt a cold hand holding her while hearing Sana's voice.

When she opened her eyes, her life almost left her body at the terrifying look of Sana. The latter's flesh was all rotten and was falling apart while crying for help.

With that, Tzuyu brushed Sana's hand and it dislocated from the latter's arm. Tzuyu fell on the bed as she was trying to run away from the scary creature in front of her. She crawls backward 'til her body hits the wall.

"Go away! Please, go away!" Tzuyu shouted while the latter was dragging herself closer to her.

Just as the latter was about to grab her arm. That's when Tzuyu finally woke up from her nightmare and the real Sana was now the one holding her.

"Tzuyu, look at me. That was just a bad dream, okay? I'm here, Tzuyu. I'm here." Sana said while cupping Tzuyu's cheeks.

Tzuyu was panting as she held Sana's wrist and cried.

"That was just a bad dream, okay?" Sana said and pulled Tzuyu into a tight hug.

As they pulled away, the Japanese girl handed her a glass of water and Tzuyu drank it all in one go. They then changed the bedsheet and pillowcases as it was now soaked with Tzuyu's sweats.

A moment after, the two decided to walk around the sanggojae to unwind.

Beside their house stands a few plants of palm trees that were still inside their fences. They set up a hammock and enjoyed the night, doing counting the twinkling object above and stargazing until they fell asleep.

The next day, Tzuyu woke up with something heavy on top. Smelling a sweet lavender scent, her lips automatically curled up. 

As she opened her eyes, Sana's sleeping figure greeted her. The latter was still sleeping peacefully while snuggling on her chest. This is it, her dream finally comes true—being with the one she loves without minding other people.

Tzuyu tucked some of Sana's hair strands behind her ears and kisses the tip of the sleeping beauty's nose. She couldn't stop smiling.

Slowly, she lifted Sana and brought her to their bed. She then went to the kitchen and began cooking after.

Just as she was about to finished cooking, Sana hugs her from behind and playfully bit her shoulder.

"Why didn't you wake me up so I could cook for you," Sana said with her sleepy voice.

"Good morning, love," Tzuyu said as she flipped the pancake. "I'd rather cook for us than let you burn the kitchen," Tzuyu said jokingly.

"Yah, are you saying I am that bad in cooking?" Sana asked while arching her brow at the taller one.

"Uhm..." Tzuyu said as she finally turned off the induction cooker.

"Okay, I'm not eating then," Sana said and was about to turn away from her, but before she could move, Tzuyu blocked her way.

"Nah, you were going to eat with me," Tzuyu said.

"And if I don't?" Sana asked.

"I'm going to call Xiao instead," Tzuyu said.

As for Sana, she rolled her eyes at her. The Japanese girl has been jealous of the latter and knowing this, Tzuyu and Xiao sometimes acted intimate purposely to make her jealous.

"No? Okay, you can sulk there while I-" Tzuyu said as she pulled her phone out of her pocket, only to be cut by her lover.

"Who says I'm not eating with you?" Sana asked as she snatched Tzuyu's phone. "I can eat you even, if you please." She added as she pushed the younger one to sit on the chair and straddled on Tzuyu's lap.
