(Y/n) woke up to the sound of his phone going off with many notifications. He rubbed his eyes as he reached for his phone, and he pressed on the first notification he saw.

After reading the messages, (Y/n) realised where he was, sleeping on the sofa at Momo and Mina's house

After reading the messages, (Y/n) realised where he was, sleeping on the sofa at Momo and Mina's house. He instantly sat up and looked around, he then saw Mina watching tv on the other sofa
"Good morning." She said
"Uh morning, I'm sorry for sleeping here I didn't even remember falling asleep last night." (Y/n) said nervously
"It's fine, you were pretty tired and was gonna ride home but Momo insisted saying that you might fall asleep on the road so she said you could sleep here."
"So did you mean it... last night?"
"About?"
"The team, getting back together."
"Of course I meant it, I mean I have all the time in the world on my hands right now."
"That's great, so is Momo up too?"
"It's her day off today, so she's still in bed. So what are you doing today?"
"Probably gonna try one of Sana, Tzuyu and Chae." (Y/n) responded

"I know where Sana is if that helps."
"That does actually, so where is she?"
"She's helping out in her parents' shop, I can give you the address if you want."
"That'd help a lot."

And that's how (Y/n)'s morning started, so now he was standing outside of a cute little shop on a quiet street, a street he knew quite well from his school days with the others.
They would leave school and go to that fried chicken shop on the corner of the street to get food whilst some of the others went into the convenience store to get some drinks.
(Y/n) laughed quietly as he reimagined the scene of the others messing around outside of the shops
"My favourite memories." He whispered
"Oh my, who is this handsome young man in front of our shop?"
(Y/n) turned round and smiled at the voice he could recognise so well
"Hello Mrs Minatozaki, is Sana here?"
"Oh (Y/n) is that you!? Look how handsome you've gotten, and taller too. Sana's just inside at the counter, go and speak to her, go on." Mrs Minatozaki pushed (Y/n) into the shop and close the door behind him

He walked over to the counter and Sana noticed his presence
"Welcome to Minatozaki Candles, how can I help you?" Sana said, looking at some wax she was melting.
"Do you have any Cherry blossom scented candles?" (Y/n) asked
"Yes we do, we have various different sizes."
"Great, can I have a medium sized candle please, Cherry blossom brings back so many memories." (Y/n) smiled slightly
Sana looked at (Y/n), she stopped what she was doing and walked around to the front of the counter and stood in front of (Y/n). Whilst he thought that there was a slap across the face coming, instead what happened was Sana wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"I've missed you so much." She whispered
"I know, me too." (Y/n) said

"Ok Sana we've just got the new wax order in and- Oh my! Honey there's a boy in the shop and Sana's hugging him!" Sana's father said, shock completely taking over the man's face
"Shh!" Mrs Minatozaki said dragging her husband into the back of the shop, the two then poked their heads out of the doorway.
Sana then let go of (Y/n) and stepped back a bit
"So how have you been, you look like a millionaire with that haircut." Sana giggled
"Really? I'm not rich at all so I'll take that as a compliment, I've just been doing accounting, I spent a year abroad in the USA and came back here."
"That sounds good, so have you been in contact with the others? I haven't seen any of them for a while."
"Actually I've been finding everyone recently, and so far I've found Jihyo, Nayeon, Dahyun, Jeong, Momo, Mina and now you. Obviously I know where Yeji is cause she's my sister but yeah, so how have you been doing?"
"I've been looking after the shop, I did try to work as a personal assistant but I'm too clumsy, dropping the coffee, the dry cleaning, the papers, basically everything." Sana laughed slightly
"Sounds like you're doing good here, you always liked helping your parents make candles."
