see you again-

Sakura's POV

The girls and I had just finished practicing our dance routine for 'Secret Story of the Swan' and while most of the girls are taking their time in relaxing their sore and tired bodies, Yena pulls me to join her in getting some food to eat together with Hyewon.

"I can't wait to eat. I'm starving." The youngest out of us three gushes. As we walk along the peaceful hallway of the company building, I spot Chaeyeon entering a room just a few steps away from the one where we usually practice.

My gaze instinctively follows her and I stop on my tracks.

"Go ahead without me. I'll just check something." I advise them, waving my hand dismissively.

Chaeyeon was situated in the middle of the room where a grand piano is resting. Soon enough, faded melodies start to be heard and I suddenly find myself being drawn into the room in fascination.

"Hi." She shyly acknowledges as she looks up from the piano to see who the intruder may be. I nod my head towards her in reply.

"What are you doing?" I ask, helping myself in and taking a seat beside her on the piano's bench.

"Just playing around," she shrugs with a flustered smile, probably because she didn't want anyone to know about her whereabouts but I had caught her. "It helps me calm down."

"Play me a song then." I encourage her and without any hesitations, she does so.

This is the first time I've actually seen her play one, and I'm not disappointed. At all.

The girl beside me skillfully glides her fingers from one key to another, making the flow of every piece come out naturally. My jaw drops and I blankly stare at how amazing she is.

I think she notices my constant staring because she stops playing and laughs at my reaction.

"Am I doing well?"

"No doubt." I firmly say, making her smile in satisfaction upon hearing those words from me.

"I think you know this one." She confidently remarks as I scoot closer to her while she starts playing a familiar and nostalgic tune.

SONG: 'See You Again' (1st verse & chorus) - PRODUCE 48

"Chuun gyeouri jinago (After this cold winter passes by)

Uri yaksokaetteon gyejeori dwemyeon (When the season that we promised arrives)

Geuttae dashi chajaolkke yeah (I'll come back for you yeah)

Ttaseuhan haessareul neukkyeo (Feel the warm sunlight)

Mamsokkaji ttatteutejil ttae dwemyeon (When it makes you feel warm inside)

Geuttae dashi chajaolkke yeah (I'll come back for you yeah)

Ajik jeonhaji motan maldeuri nan cham maneunde (There are so many things I have to tell you)

Oh baby

I noraereul billyeo neoyege nae maeumeul jeonhalkke (I'm singing this song to tell you how I feel)

Uri dashi manna yaegihae (Let's see each other again)

Haneuri heorakaneun nal (When the sky allows us)

Geuttae dashi manna neoyege (When we see each other)

Dashi doraolkke ni gyeote (I'll come back to you)

Geuttae dashi manna (See you again)

Uri kkok dashi manna~ (We'll see each other again)"

After finishing our on-the-spot duet of the song that's been really close to my heart, she smiles at me, in which I reciprocate as well.

"Can I say something?" She speaks up all of a sudden and I nod.

As I anticipate what she was going to say, I see her lick her bottom lip and it's something she does a lot whenever she's nervous.

What could possibly be the reason why she's feeling that way right now?

"In the future," she starts off and I sense the shakiness in her voice. "I don't really know what will happen to us after all of this ends." Then, she gulps. "But I just want you to know that no matter where we may be, I'd always support you and I will always have your back." I nod, motioning her to continue. "And I will never ever forget you, I promise."

The side of my lips twitch and just when I was about to say something, she pulls me in for a hug.

"I love you, more than you'd ever know." She whispers and I feel my breath hitch for a moment. "I really do."

I pull away from her embrace, my heartbeat quickens when I notice how close our faces are. I don't know why, but I find myself eyeing her plump lips that had finally recovered from that wound she got recently... then her eyes that appear to be so hard to understand right now.

She, too, was doing the same thing.

We were both getting near each other, not really caring much about the possibilities that may happen afterwards. Our faces inch closer and closer...

But I never really met her lips.

Because I resisted the urge to go for it and I ran away.

"Saku-chan! Wait!" She calls out as I take off out of the room. "Wait, please! I'm sorry!"

I was running back to the practice room where the other members are probably waiting and wondering where we had gone to.

I'm so stupid! Why would I even think of kissing her?

Only a few more steps...

Suddenly, my wrist was caught by a cold and sweaty palm. She was breathing heavily while wearing an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry."

"Stop."

"Please, let's talk."

"We have nothing to talk about, Chaeyeon-ah."

"Just hear me out, please." She practically begs, tightening her grip around my wrist as I fight her off.

"Let go!" I angrily scold her.

"Why are you acting this way?"

"It doesn't matter." I stubbornly reply, shaking my head to tell her that it's no big deal.

"It does and I know it's bothering you, Kkura."

"You don't know what you're talking about." I retort, finally managing to remove her hand on mine.

I was determined to walk away from her but then she speaks up once again.

"Why do you keep doing this? Why can't you just tell me the truth?"

Those words were enough to make me freeze on my tracks and I heave a deep sigh.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

She walks towards me, lowering her head down to avoid my piercing gaze.

"I'm Jae, aren't I?"
