Collab or Co-love?//BOOK 1//

15: Hang out

"Mina where are you going?" Nayeon asked looking at Mina from head to toe.

"Ah probably to Chaeyoung's right? You two are like inseparable jisoos" Nayeon said and shook her head lightly and took a chip from Momo's bag.

"Unnie" Momo said coldly and Nayeon slowly gave the chip back.

"Oh I'm not hanging out with Chaeng today. We are supposed to but her schedule is tight packed today" Mina said and slid on her shoes.

"Then who are you hanging out with?" Jeongyeon asked and ate 5 pieces of m&m's at once.

"He's from GOT7, his name is Bambam. We got close and he wanted to hang out" Mina said and Momo raised a brow.

"Maybe he fancy you" Momo choked and coughed some of the chips out.

"Atleast swallow before speaking Unnie" Dahyun approached and gave her a glass of water.

"Anyways, I'll be back  before dinner" Mina said and waved to them before going out.

The door shut close and the girls went back to what they were doing.

Tzuyu is sitting on the floor listening to her unnies conversations.

"Oh Tzuyu-ah" Nayeon called.

"Ne?"

"You need root touch-ups" Nayeon said and touched Tzuyu's head.

"Who do you think you are to say so?" Tzuyu asked in a monotone and her members cracked up while Nayeon is astounded.

Bzzzzt! Bzzzt!

"Oh it's my mom" Tzuyu said happily and grabbed her phone.

She excused herself and went to the kitchen.

"Mama!" Tzuyu said in pure happiness.

"Tzuyu, how are you doing there?" her mom asked in a sweet tone.

"It's tad hard but it's manageable" Tzuyu said and her mom felt relieved.

"Uhm... Tzuyu" her mom's voice turned a bit down and Tzuyu is a bit surprised at the same time worried.

"What's wrong mama?" Tzuyu asked.

"Gucci passed away..."

It's like everything around her got paused and muted. Her heartbeat beats faster. Sweats forming in her hands.

"Tzuyu? Are you still there?" she heard her mom and put the phone back in her ear.

"Ah yes Mama... G-gucci died?" Tzuyu asked still in disbelief.

"Yes honey... We're sorry but the vet told us it's because of old age... We're sorry honey" her mom said in a sad tone. She knows how much happiness and joy Gucci gave to Tzuyu.

"You don't need to apologize Mama... Uhm... Yeah it's better that he passed away of old age than a disease or something" Tzuyu tried to sound positive. She's really trying hard to hold back her tears.

Gucci was first like a dog to her. But as years flew by, he became family. He's the source of happiness of Tzuyu.

"Okay honey. I need to go now, we need to bury Gucci. Don't worry, he will be in a better place now" her mom said in a calming and sweet tone.

"Yeah... Thank you for telling me Mama. Love you and tell Gucci I love him too. Always" Tzuyu said and hung her head low.

"Will do honey. I love you too and for sure he loves you back" her mom said and Tzuyu nodded and ended the call.
