Eyes closed

The next morning, first person to wake was Nayeon when she went outside nothing could have prepared for the sight she was seeing. 

Chou Tzuyu was sitting on the chair with Kaya on her lap while Butter and Boo were running around, but what she worried about was the fact that Tzuyu was drinking early in the morning. 

She wanted to go and talk to her, but she couldn't. Neither of them were on talking terms, especially what happened last month. The image was still fresh in her head, flashing almost every second as her worst nightmare.

Her worry only increased when she saw Tzuyu slam down the glass and reach towards the bottle and chugging down one entire bottle. During this time, her t-shirt rode up her arm and Nayeon's eyes made their way to the fresh new cuts, she winced at the sight a little to loud causing Tzuyu to look at her.

The eyes contact made her shiver, the eyes that once were filled with warmth and love were now staring at her with fierce coldness. Unconsciously Nayeon took a step back and diverted her eyes as if scared of her. 

For Tzuyu it gave her an odd sense of pleasure to see how the eldest girl shrunk under her gaze. It reminded her of the time when in sixteen Nayeon challenged her because she was weak, but now, she is no longer her old pathetic self.

 Half an hour later everyone arrived downstairs greeted with the same sight that Nayeon saw and their reactions were the same. They were concerned, some seconds later Sana finally gathered all the courage and slowly moved towards the maknae and sat down in front of her.

"Tzu, how are you?"

Sana questioned in hope that Tzuyu will look at her and give her a signature dimple smile instead, Tzuyu just looked at her empty whiskey bottle and made her way towards the fridge and opened the door.

"Fuck, there's no more left"

Their eyes widened as they saw their innocent Chewy talk so bluntly. This was the Chou Tzuyu who came. This was the Chou Tzuyu they helped build.

"What do you want Tzuyu-ah?"

A small voice asked from behind. She turned back to see it was Mina. The same person who used to be her silent movie night partner, now in her eyes she is nothing but a stranger. Before she could reply a loud voice rang in the dorm.

"TZUYU-YAH"

Everyone turned their heads towards the voice, Elkie was standing by the door and excitedly waved her hand to Tzuyu who ran to her and hugged her tight which made the other eight girls somewhat envious. 

The hug lasted for a few seconds and they saw Tzuyu smile the brightest at that moment but when she turned back her smile disappeared and she went back to her stoic self.

Later the day Tzuyu returned back home late at night tipsy and with wobbly feet she sat on the couch. Closing her eyes and resting her head back. 

It was quiet and in times like this, she felt pain, anguish, agony and nothing but hurt.  She never liked feeling this way. So, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around the living room.

It was dark and in that darkness, she felt depesd felt anxious. She never used to like it before but now things have changed, she has changed. 

She is not the old little Yoda anymore, She is Chou Tzuyu. Powerful and Influential.
