Say You Love Me (ChaeYu / ChaeTzu)

Ch.29 We're On A Mission

She has to do the same.

"Both," Tzuyu answers after her long pause, "I care about you and everyone else so I don't want them to keep sending people after me. But I also don't want innocent people in all four countries getting hurt just because Malus wants to kill me. I have to end this, my parents and those who want to live started this and I have to end it."

"Okay...but let me do this with you," Chaeyoung says and Tzuyu shakes her head.

"I want to do this so you and the others don't have to get hurt," Tzuyu says sternly, "You almost got killed because of me once and I will not let it happen again."

"That wasn't your fault though-" Chaeyoung starts but Tzuyu pulls her into a kiss a passionate kiss that turns into a series of kisses.

"Chae, I love you," Tzuyu breathes out and gently presses her forehead against the shorter girl's forehead, "But please, I can't bear the thought of losing you or you getting hurt."

"...But I can't bear the thought of losing you or you getting hurt either," Chaeyoung whispers and Tzuyu gives her a small smile. 

"I won't," Tzuyu kisses her again, "It'll be quick, I know it will be. I have a feeling everything will go right."

"Tzuyu..." Chaeyoung whines, "I love you and your positive attitude but how can you be sure?"

"I just am," Tzuyu smiles, "I'm usually not sure a lot of things except for you and our friends but...I'm sure about this."

"Ugh, fine, but we're still going to talk about me going until you say yes," Chaeyoung huffs and turns around before Tzuyu can object again. 

When the two leave the conference room, many people are looking away and Jihyo and Jeongyeon are smiling. They give them all confused looks and turn around and see that even though the conference room showed them a shaded view, the people on the outside could still see through. 

"Y-you...you all...saw-?" Tzuyu stutters and Chaeyoung hides behind her and her face into the taller's shoulder.

"Yup but that was sweet," Jihyo cooed, "We didn't hear a thing but it's adorable seeing you two in love."

"No, it was not," Jeongyeon gagged, "I just saw my sister stick her tongue down my girlfriend's sister's throat."

"OK! Back to business," The Queen chuckled.

They continued to talk about the plan and the whole situation that they planned to have. After they talked and went over the busy schedule they're going to have for the next two months, Jihyo pulls Tzuyu aside. Jihyo insists that this is very private so she just wants to tell Tzuyu and Chaeyoung understands so she watches them go in the corner.

"What's up?" Tzuyu asks and Jihyo takes a deep breath.

"You know that guy that I said is the youngest council member, Chou Chen?" Jihyo asks and Tzuyu nods, "He...is your older brother."

"What? I have a brother?" Tzuyu gasps and Jihyo nods.

"He's 5 years older than you and when you were 3 years old and he was 8, he was taken in by the government because he possessed favorable qualities and lots of intellectual potential," Jihyo explains, "He was basically groomed to become a member on that council."

"How come I didn't know? Why would my parents not tell me I have brother?" Tzuyu asks, flabbergasted. 

"I don't know but he was given a choice actually and willingly went," Jihyo explains, "No threats, I guess he thought it was the right thing to do. The only way to rise up in Malus is to take any opportunity given to you."

"True..." Tzuyu sighs, "Do you want me to like, contact him or fight him?"

"No, of course not," Jihyo shook her head, "He's your brother regardless of your differences and positions. I just wanted you to know who he is and that he was the one who suggested your family infiltrates Noctis."

"Why would he do that?' Tzuyu asks puzzled.

"If they succeeded, you would be given a house and better jobs in the capital," Jihyo explains, "You'd get better treatment especially because your brother was an Apprentice."

"I see..." Tzuyu says, "Thank you for telling me all of this."

As Tzuyu is about to turn around Jihyo quickly catches his wrist and says quietly:

"I know I just said you shouldn't fight him or talk to him...but if he finds, approaches and/or fights you...you need to fight for your life and others," Jihyo added, "After your parents died and betrayed the country, he was nearly cast out as an Apprentice...he had to prove himself...he killed all of the other Apprentices."

Tzuyu stiffened.

He's a monster.

I can't be like him.

She makes eye contact with Chaeyoung who had her eyes on her the entire time and gives her a weak smile. 

Chaeyoung.

She could never be a monster like him so long as she had Chaeyoung. She just hopes that she really won't have to do anything to him or anyone, cause like Jihyo said, he is her brother.
