After Moon 05

"Tzuyu~yah," she could hear him call her. She didn't look at him but she saw how he took his jacket off by the side of her eye.

"Tzuyu~yah," he called again when they've finally reached backstage. She halted from walking, making him walk further away from her but he noticed that she had stopped and so he did.

"Tzuyu~yah," she wanted to ignore him calling her but she somehow couldn't. He walked closer to her. She managed to look and fake a smile at him.

"Can I talk to you?" he asked, this made her heart pound thrice as much as it usually does.

"Uhmm..." Think of an excuse! Come up with anything! "I think I need to wait for the unnies," she managed to say.

"I kind of lost them and I don't want them to worry," she expressed. Please buy it. Please buy it. She was mentally praying for him to buy her excuse.

"Ahh, neh," he nodded in understanding. "Should I wait with you?" he asked.

"You don't have to," she stated. She saw how his brows furrowed at her hesitation.

"I mean, I'll be fine. You shouldn't make your members wait," she tried explaining.

"Ani, they'll understand," he beamed at her. She knew she couldn't do anything to change his mind so she just nodded at his offer.

She swore it was the most awkward moment they ever had, not even close to when they were still getting to know each other and were still shy around each other.

"Tzuyu~yah!" she turned and saw her unnies. Gladly, her group members had arrived. If they were even a minute late, she would have a heart attack.

"Kamsahamnida," she bowed at him which made him furrow his brows once more.

"I think we need to go," she told him. He just nodded in return but she knew he had already guessed she didn't have any intentions to talk to him.

"Can we please talk even for just a minute?" he begged. "Can I please talk to you?" he asked again. He had asked this question 3 days ago. Tonight was another music festival both of their groups had attended. The event ended successfully and she had a lot of fun as well.

She looked down, thinking of whether she should give in or not. She was mentally debating if she should or not.

This would also be the last time she would see him this year as they would only be recording their performances for the third year end festival as her group would be in Japan, probably why he was begging this time around.

She looked up at him. He had a hopeful smile on his face. She nodded. A genuine smile plastered on his face which made her confused.

He held her hand. She wasn't sure where he would be taking her but it would probably one of those empty dressing rooms.

She looked at their hands intertwined. She wanted to release it from his grip but he had held on it too tight. She smiled bitterly. She always thought both their hands fit perfectly to each other but sad to say this would be the last time she would feel his hand around hers.

He sighed for the nth time. They were at an empty dressing room just like how she predicted it. They've been there for almost 10 minutes now. She felt like time has been too slow in running.

He scratched his nape. He had a nervous look on his face. She guessed that he wasn't sure how to drop the topic to her.

"Ending scene," she started and faced him. If he wouldn't say anything then she would. He had his brows furrowed, looking clueless of what she was saying.

"Is it what you want? An ending scene?" her voice started to become hoarse.

"A.. ani...," he was stuttering. "It's not like that. You got the wrong idea," he tried to explain.

"Then what is it?" she half yelled. "You ghosted me for a week then you ask me to trust you. I did but after that you never called me. Yeah, you messaged me with what? Have fun and take care only? Do you think it would make me satisfied? Then you posted something which seemed to be really genuine. How am I supposed to take that?" she burst out.

"Please," he begged, taking a step closer to her.

She shook her head. "What if I give it to you?" tears started to form in her eyes. "If that will make you happy," she turned her back from him when she felt a drop of tear had fallen from one of her eyes.

She closed her eyes and wiped the fallen tear with a hand before walking away from him.

Hello, it's been a while

There's no question mark in your voice, it's so you

As if it's a rule

Your seat is always the same, by the cold entrance

Make sure you eat well, because it'll all pass

You'll be able to sleep well like you did before

I really mean it from the bottom of my heart

You have the right to become happier

Don't say those words, please

You know those words hurt me even more

You said you would love me, so what is this

You don't know what kind of heart you gave me
