Tainan, Taiwan.
It's a beautiful day. The roads were busy as always. Kids going to school. Office workers going to office. The traffic's , the Cafe filled with people, Some people doing exercises in the park. Couples on a date.
Everyone busy in their own world. It was a typical morning for the citizen of Tainan.
Same goes for the chou household. Two person living on the house happily , being with each other for the past years, keeping each other's in company and stayed beside each other in hard times.
"WAKE UP!!!!"
"AHHHHH!!!! COULD YOU STOP???"
said tzuyu while covering her ears.
"No! Wake up or you will be late. " Said the girl keeping her hands on her hips.
"I swear I know why you woke me up. " Said tzuyu glaring at the girl.
"Oh really?? Then why??" Asked the girl.
"You are hungry . Aren't you? You want me to cook. " Said tzuyu looking at the girl with a deadly eyes.
"Woohhh, that's great!! You already know it!! I don't have to explain!! Now get up. " Said the girl smirking.
"God xiaoting , when are you going to learn to do things by yourself. " Tzuyu said and then sighed.
"Umm....I don't know.... maybe never. " Said xiaoting pretending to be thinking.
"Sigh. You know what, just go downstairs. I will be there. " Said tzuyu giving up.
"Thanks jiè jiè. " Said xiaoting and then gave a kiss to tzuyu's cheek then ran away from there.
Tzuyu smiled while shaking her head.
That was Shen Xiaoting. Tzuyu's cousin from her mother's side. Xiaoting wasn't a taiwanese. She was a Chinese. Tzuyu and Xiaoting are living together for 4 years.
Both of them had only each other as their family.
Tzuyu who just woke up right now decided to go freshen up and make breakfast. She washed herself and went downstairs only to find Xiaoting playing some online games..... again.
As Xiaoting get into the next level. She cheered a little bit.
"Another day another slay." Xiaoting said cheering. Tzuyu who walked pat her said, "Tsk you spelled it wrong shen .it's another responsibility. You idiot. "
"The last part is you btw, cause I am not the one who- OUCH!!!" Xiaoting stopped as tzuyu hit her on her head.
"Hey why did you hit me?" Asked Xiaoting protesting.
"You deserved it. " Tzuyu said and went back to the kitchen. She started to cut vegetables.
"Btw, you said another responsibility a while ago. Does that means you have a new deal or something??" Asked Xiaoting curious.
"Hmm, today I have a meeting with some foreign company. " Said tzuyu.
"Oh.... Then all the best. " Said Xiaoting with a thumbs up.
"It's not me who's going to ask for a deal. They are the ones who wants to do a project with us. " Said tzuyu doing her work.
"That's cool too. " Said Xiaoting.
Tzuyu is the owner of a tech company. When she started it , it wasn't that big. Things weren't going her way. But as the years passed , because of her hard work, her company is the one of the most profitable company in Taiwan.
Tzuyu has big plans for her company.
She wanted to take it internationally , that's why she was now considering many international offers too. That's how today's meeting was set up.
After cooking the breakfast and eating it , tzuyu got ready. Same goes for xiaoting. Tzuyu got out first in her suit. She was waiting for xiaoting to come.
The door then opened making a loud sound. Tzuyu looked at the door.
There was xiaoting making a pose , she had her sunglasses on.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen. " Xiaoting cheerfully said and did a cat walk going near to the car. Tzuyu was just staring as she was used to xiaoting being like this. Xiaoting then sat on the driver's seat while tzuyu sat beside xiaoting.
Xiaoting then turn on the radio to listen some songs. Tzuyu was checking her schedule for the day in her phone.
"We are here!!!" Xiaoting exclaimed.
"Yeah I can see it. " Said Tzuyu.
"Oh btw, xiaoting, come with me to my office. There's a file that you need to take home. " Tzuyu said.
"But you can take it later too, right??" asked xiaoting.
"No, its important. Take it right now. "Said tzuyu. Xiaoting just shrugged it off.
Both of them got inside the modern building. CTZ TECH is the name of tzuyu's company. The building was one of the most modern building in Taiwan. Well secured and made with an excellent plan of top builders of the country.
As they entered, everyone started to greet them with a bow . Tzuyu and xiaoting also bowed to them back. Both of them are well mannered. They believe ones behavior is ones true introduction. It gives people an idea what kind of person he or she is.
Tzuyu and xiaoting then went to the elevator and reached the top floor where tzuyu's office is. They both entered , xiaoting took a seat on the chair , while tzuyu went near her tables drawer where her file was.
"Your office is nice, I like it. " Xiaoting said sitting comfortably.
"You always say that. " Said tzuyu flipping the files paper. Tzuyu continued, "you know you could actually come and help me in the company. "
"I know, but jié jié I want to enjoy a bit more. " Said Xiaoting. Tzuyu nodded.
*Knock knock*
"Come in ." Said tzuyu . Then the door opened reveling a beautiful woman. She was smiling and have a bouquet of flowers in her hands.
"Hey xiaoting." Said the women . Xiaoting smiled and waved .
"hey tzuyu. " This time she said with more softness.
"H-hi. " Tzuyu said and smiled nervously knowing why the women Infront of her is here . Xiaoting gave her a teasing grin.
"I like you, will you go out with me??" Asked the girl smiling shyly. Xiaoting became excited.
"I am sorry.....I can't. " Said tzuyu and looked down feeling guilty. Xiaoting rolled her eyes thinking how stupid her cousin is. The women Infront of tzuyu felt more hurt . Her heart was aching. But nevertheless she kept smiled and nodded.
"It's fine. At least accept these flowers. " Said the girl. Tzuyu accepted it . She then went near tzuyu and gave her a kiss on the cheeks.
"I will be waiting for you tzuyu. " Said the girl with her love eyes. Tzuyu felt more guilty as she knew she couldn't return the same feelings.
"Sigh. You don't have to elkie. " Said tzuyu.
"But I want to . So please let me. " Said elkie smiling sadly.
"I will be going now , take care. " Said elkie and left after saying goodbye to both of them.
"You know , you have a beautiful woman like Elkie Chong interested in you , who is ready to love you with her whole but you still haven't moved on from your ex. It makes me wonder how much beautiful is your ex. " Said xiaoting.
Tzuyu stopped moving , she remembered about her ex. Her ex who she still loves a lot.
"She is the most beautiful woman in the world. But .....she isn't mine anymore. " Said tzuyu smiling sadly while remembering.
Xiaoting could feel the sadness. So to distract tzuyu she tried to change the topic.
"I will be going now too. " She said and left tzuyu.
Tzuyu then sat on her swivel chair . She leaned back while closing her eyes and all the memories kept on coming back in her mind.
'I miss her...' tzuyu thought.
----------------------------------------------------------
It was the time of meeting. The foreign country was none other than a well known japanese tech company. They wanted to do a collaboration.
When tzuyu entered the meeting room tzuyu was shocked to see the person.
"Hello Ms. Chou . " Said mr. Minatozaki smiling. Tzuyu never thought that Mr. Minatozaki wants to have a collaboration with her. Tzuyu then greeted back .
"Hello Mr. Minatozaki. " Said tzuyu and shake hands with Mr. Minatozaki. Oh boy, the way tzuyu hated the guy Infront of her. She was hiding all of it because of professionalism.
Then they proceed to the making. In the meeting tzuyu did nothing but frown while others of her company listened carefully. The offer was pretty much similar to robbing her money. Tzuyu understood it clearly. It was like a trap. The way people set traps with something attractive. It was something like that.
"So what to do you think Ms. Chou??" Said Mr. Minatozaki. Tzuyu was in her serious face.
"I am sorry Mr. Minatozaki. But it's a no. " Said tzuyu straightforward without any expression.
"Hmm, ok. We understand. Thank you for your time Ms. Chou. " Said Mr. Minatozaki and smirked. Tzuyu didn't like it a bit.
"You are welcome. " Said tzuyu.
"It was a good meeting. " Said Mr . Minatozaki with an evil smile.
"I have to say you do have grown a lot over the years tzuyu. It's ok to call you tzuyu since the meeting is over right?" Said Mr. Minatozaki. Tzuyu nodded. She hated the annoyed smile on the guys face.
"Life is full of surprises, I never thought I will see you here in this situation. It's good that you get through all of your problems an-" tzuyu cut Mr. Minatozaki off and said,
"I am sorry to interrupt but do you have anything important to say? I still need to do my works. " Tzuyu was getting more annoyed because of it.
"tzuyu , my daughter said she wants to meet you. I promised her that I will talk to you about her wanting to meet you. " Said Mr. Minatozaki.
"Sana wa-wants to talk to me??" Tzuyu asked in a shocked tone. Her heart was beating fast. Hearing the persons name is now giving her butterflies.
"Yes, she wants to meet you in the cafe on the opposite side of this building. " Said Mr. Minatozaki. Tzuyu was now thinking that after all those years why does sana suddenly wants to talk to her. Is it because the later also misses her. Does the later also wants to get back together? Does sana still loves her??
All those questions were coming in her head.
"Pls make sure to meet her in the lunch time. " Said Mr. Minatozaki . He then checked his watch and said , "see you when I see you ms. Chou, see you never actually. " Said Mr. Minatozaki in a low mad tone.
"Same to you mr. Minatozaki. " Said tzuyu. She was holding her anger for good.
Tzuyu went back to her office , she still couldn't believe sana wanted to meet her. She smiled thinking about finally she will be able to see sana again .
'is she still like before? Or she changed a bit? I wonder what her favorite food is. Is it still cheese kimbap? Has she became more beautiful??' tzuyu thought. She was pretty much excited to meet sana.
Then after an hour or two of wait it was finally lunch break.
Tzuyu ran to the cafe just to meet sana. She entered and moved her eyes everywhere, to find sana. Then she saw a figure of a beautiful blonde women . Who's back was facing her. Even though it's been years she still can't forget how sana looked.
Tzuyu went near the table . She tapped the girls shoulder. The girl looked back . After seeing tzuyu the girl stood up.
"Sana .." tzuyu mumbled giving a small smile, her eyes had tears. Tears of happiness. The later was smiling ear to ear looking at tzuyu.
"Tzuyu..." Mumbled sana . Tzuyu kept on staring at sana. How much she has missed her. The girl she longs for everyday is now in front of her.
"Tzuyu-ah pls take a seat." Said sana . Tzuyu smiled and nodded. Tzuyu took the seat facing sana. They both then started to order.
"Your order ma'am's?" Said the waitress.
"I will take a coffee. " Said tzuyu.
"And I will take -" sana got cut off as tzuyu spoke again.
"A espresso. " Tzuyu said looking at sana. Sana was a bit shocked.
"I still remember. " Tzuyu said and smiled. Sana smiled back. Then the waiter left. It was an awkward silence.
"Uhm .....so how are you doing tzuyu-ah?" Sana asked . Tzuyus heart became happy as the one she still loves asked her how she was doing.
"I- I am doing good. " Tzuyu said happily. 'yes, after seeing you I am doing wonderful sana. ' tzuyu thought.
"That's good. You know I am really happy to see you like this. You know I am proud of you for where you are right now tzuyu. " Said sana smiling. Tzuyu blushed at sanas compliment.
"Actually I am here to ask something from you tzuyu-ah. " Said sana.
"Anything for you sana. " Tzuyu said without hesitation in serious tone.
"I want us to become........ friends again. " Sana said looking at tzuyu with hope.
'ouch' tzuyu thought. Tzuyu felt hurt sana wants to become friends with her again, not more than friends.
"Y-yeah , sure. " Said tzuyu fake smiling.
"I miss our friendship tzuyu , pls, let's be friends again. " Sana said looking at tzuyu with pleading eyes and taking tzuyus hand making tzuyu go crazy . Tzuyu smiled again fake.
"Everything is fine between us sana. " Said tzuyu.
"Sigh, I am so relieved. " Said sana .
"So as a friend if I want something you will give it to me right??" Sana said.
"Yeah su-sure. " Said tzuyu again in hesitation.
"The actual reason I came here is not only to make things good between us , but also to give you this. " Said sana and handed an envelope to tzuyu. Tzuyu was confused. She was frowning.
As she opened the envelope and see what inside her heart broke into millions of pieces.
It was an invitation card.
A wedding invitation card.
Together with their families
Sana
Minatozaki
And
Dahyun
Kim
Invite you to attend their wedding ceremony

Tzuyu couldn't even utter a word.
"I am getting married tzuyu-ah." Sana said smiling.
'i am getting married tzuyu-ah...
I am getting married tzuyu-ah...
I am getting married tzuyu-ah...
Is what repeating in her head.
She wanted to runaway from here. Runaway from everything. She waited so long for sana. All of these years got wasted.
"Tzuyu-ah pls come to my wedding, that's the only thing I want from you ."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jié jié you are ba- oh my god !!!! What happened???" Xiaoting went near to tzuyu and hold tzuyu tightly. Tzuyu was now crying like a crazy while hugging Xiaoting. She was holding her cries for hours .
"I- I need a drink t-ting. Everything's o-over........ everything...." Tzuyu said and cried like crazy.
