Invisible String (Saida/Michaeng)

Chapter 6: I'm Gonna Faint

“Why did you call her phone?” Jeongyeon catechized as she turned to look at Tzuyu.

“This cub over here,” Tzuyu wrapped her arm around Chaeyoung's shoulder, “was so wasted that I needed to bring her home so I had to call Dahyun to tell her that we need to leave.”

Chaeyoung sighed in relief, “Thank God for that.”

“Hmm.” Tzuyu hummed as she stood up, taking her coat. “Anyway, I'm gonna go run some errands. See you later, peasants.” she announced as she pat Dahyun's shoulder who was just about to argue and say that she wasn't a peasant.

“Me too. I am going to tutor Yuna at 2:00 PM and it is now 1:40.” Dahyun got up too, taking her own coat with her. Chaeyoung nodded then smiled at the girl. “Also, we are going to Switzerland next week, Jeongyeon unnie.” the pale girl added before leaving the cafe.

Jeongyeon's mouth gaped wide open for the third time.

“Just do it. It's not that hard, okay? You can do it Sana.” Sana whispered to herself, trying to build up courage.

She was planning to finally ask a certain blue haired girl on a date.

After their moment at the music room a few days ago, Sana couldn't help but wonder what's it like to have someone like Dahyun in her life romantically. Sure, the girl might make her feel nervous all the time, but she also felt calm and contented at the same time. She liked that feeling. She liked Dahyun. She knew that. Ever since she first met her, she knew she liked her. She knew she wanted the girl to stay and have an important role in her life. She just hope that Dahyun feels the same. And that was the reason why she was going to finally ask her out.

She took a deep breath as she sauntered towards the music room.

But she didn't expect what she saw.

Dahyun was sitting on a chair, table in front of her with a girl next to her. The girl was sitting really close to the pale girl. Too close.

And Dahyun seemed comfortable. She was laughing along with the girl. It was probably the first time Sana hear her laugh like that. Though Sana liked the sound so much, she hated the fact that she wasn't the reason behind it.

“Sana unnie!” Dahyun sensed her presence, as she stood up to greet the Japanese. “Hello.” she said, then gave her a charming smile.

“Hi, Dahyunie.” Sana immediately forgot all the negative thoughts that was running through her mind when her eyes met the younger girl's smile.

“This is Shin Yuna.”

And now it's back.

Yuna stood up then offered a hand for Sana to shake, which the girl returned unenthusiastically, “Hi, Sana unnie.”

“Hi.”

“She's bad at Math.” Dahyun blurted out of nowhere.

Sana wanted to let out a chuckle, but she refrained herself since she didn't want to seem rude. “Really?”

Yuna blushed from embarrassment as she looked down, “That's why I need you to tutor me, Dahyun-ah.”

Sana raised an eyebrow, “Why Dahyun? Why not Chaeyoung or Tzuyu?”

Damn. She didn't know where that rudeness came from.

“Mina unnie stared at me as if she wanted to kill me in my sleep before I could even ask Chaeyoung unnie,” she said, “And Tzuyu unnie is just plain scary. She seems like she might slam my head against a table if I get the answers wrong, so Dahyun is my only choice.”

Sana just sighed. Why does Mina have to be so possessive over Chaeyoung all the time? She doesn't get it, “Dahyunie, can I talk to you?”

Dahyun shook her head no, “I am not done tutoring Yuna.”

Sana rolled her eyes then stared at Yuna blankly. The latter's eyes widened when she got the message.

“I–I'll leave. You can tutor me some other time, Dahyun-ah.” she stammered before walking away.

Poor Yuna. What's up with these smart korean girls and their possessive Japanese girlfriends? She just sighed.

Dahyun's eyes followed the younger girl, “That was weird. We can talk now, Sana unnie.”

Sana smirked as she watched Yuna practically sprint away, “Do you like her?” she asked.

Dahyun bobbed her head up and down, “Yes. She is very nice. But bad at Math.”

“I mean- like romantically.”

“Oh. No. She likes Ryujin. I think.”

Well, that was a relief. Sana smiled absentmindedly as she walked towards the girl closer, “Can I ask you something?”

“You are already asking me things ever since you came in.” Dahyun cleared out as she looked at the space behind Sana's shoulder.

Sana giggled, “Yeah. I guess that was true. But this time, it's different.”

“What do you mean?”

“Can I touch your hand?”

“Was that the question?” Dahyun moved her gaze above Sana's chest. (A/N: not on her tiddies, ya nasty.)

“No. But can I?” Sana sauntered even closer.

Dahyun thought about it for a few seconds. She wouldn't mind touching Sana's hand. It was soft. Like a pillow. Like Davely. “Okay.”

Sana gave the pale girl a toothy smile as she slowly took her hand. Sana's heart beat even faster. She felt a lot of emotions by just a small touch. She felt happy, giddy, excited, and nervous. What more if Dahyun let her hug her. She'd probably die.

“Would you–will you go on a romantic date with me?” Sana finally let out, but frowned when Dahyun let go of her hand. Would she say no?

Dahyun then sighed as she tried to gather her thoughts, “Does that mean you like me?”

Sana bit her (own) lower lip, “Yes.”

“I–I was supposed to be the one to ask you on a date.”

Hold up– “What? What do you mean?” Sana trailed.

“I like you first, I think. And Jeongyeon unnie said that if I like someone, I should ask them out on a date. But– but you beat me to it.“ Dahyun mumbled as she looked down. She wanted to be the one to ask Sana, since Jeongyeon said that it would make her look ‘chivalrous’.

Sana felt her heart flutter when the girl blushed and looked down, “Aw, Dahyunie. Don't worry. I'm sure this wouldn't be our last date.”

“What do you mean?” Dahyun looked up.

“We can have a second date, and you can be the one to ask me first. How about that?”

“Really? I– I would like that very much.” Dahyun smiled.

Sana bit her lip then let out a giggle, “So is that a yes? Are you going on a romantic date with me?”

“Yes.”
