Thion 3XQ: Journey (SaTzu) [ON HOLD]

Chapter Eight

Tzuyu woke up with an arm draped around her waist, similarly to how she awoke the night before.

After their conversation, the duo walked back to Dahyun's room, only making light conversation along the way. When they arrived, Dahyun was working on an old radio, which Tzuyu found oddly suspicious since she was supposed to be looking for Sana. She was starting to think that maybe Dahyun set up the whole thing for them to talk it out. Well, whatever I guess it worked out anyway.

"Oh you're back.. and you've found her" Dahyun carefully said as the two walked in. She didn't want to set off another argument in case they hadn't made up. She noticed Sana's eyes and nose were a little red but both girls were smiling and talking to each other so she assumed that all was well.

"Yeah.." Tzuyu eyed her suspiciously and Dahyun just smiled.

"Oh here, I managed to hustle some extra food for the two of you" Dahyun handed both of them two round balls wrapped in paper. Tzuyu thought the food resembled a hot potato.

"Thank you Dahyun" Sana was grateful. Dahyun managed to help them out so much. Even when the girl didn't have much, she gave them more than they could've ever asked for.

"Yeah.. thanks" Tzuyu said awkwardly but the latter gave her a bright smile.

The three of them all sat down to eat. Tzuyu and Dahyun sat on some buckets while Sana took the bed. They ate in silence which was fine because Tzuyu needed time to collect her thoughts and process what they'd do tomorrow.

"So, we need a plan for tomorrow" She said with a mouthful of food.

"Can you maybe not eat with your mouth full?"

She looked at Sana and swallowed, the latter then smiled in satisfaction. "Okay since that one Thion saw us he'll probably rat us out to the rest. So they'll probably be even more of them looking for us tomorrow. Therefore, we need to find a way to sneak in" she took her last bite. "All we need is 5 minutes tops, I have a feeling I know where the room is. So, any suggestions?"

They all thought for a moment before Dahyun spoke up. "Well how about I sneak in for you and contact whoever it is you need to.. contact? Wait, I've never asked this but who are you going to contact?"

Both girls looked at Tzuyu. "My Captain, Captain Park of the Vesta Base on Zanerth"

"What does that mean?"

"I'm a SGT and I was sent, along with a team, to retrieve any survivors from the plane crash we were notified about. One of the planes went off course so we assumed something must've malfunctioned."

Dahyun seemed to be putting the pieces in her head. "And Sana was a part of that team?"

Tzuyu's gaze went to the floor and Sana could see that she was remembering some bad things. She didn't want to pry but she was curious about it as well. However, she didn't want to force her to talk about it or anything "Tzuyu you don't-"

"No its okay.. its okay" She gave her a reassuring nod. "I was with a team, Team F9- SGT. Wang Yiren, SGT. Kim Wonpil, SGT. Lee Taeyong and our Commander Lee Saerom, she was fearless and of the best, I always looked up to her and Captain Park" she smiled as she recalled the memory of when she both met Saerom and Jihyo, how much of a nervous mess she was. "And last but not least, Wong Yukhei" she was holding back her tears. She really didn't want to cry in front of the two, she hated crying in front of people, she hated the thought of people seeing her so vulnerable and weak. "Yukhei was one of my friends, we studied together, trained together and both of us were chosen to go on this mission along with them.. it was our first mission"
