"Does the ice cream taste good?" Tzuyu asked her date while they were strolling around. Sana just nodded as she licked her ice cream. "Yeah, it's good. Tastes like any other ice cream." She replied.
Tzuyu stopped in her tracks and because of that, Sana did the same. "I can buy you a new one if you don't like it." Tzuyu told her. Sana stared at the taller girl. "What? No, it's okay, Tzuyu." She said.
The Japanese girl took Tzuyu's hand and she flinched because of the sudden contact. "You've been really tensed today. Are you okay?" She asked. Tzuyu sighed. "I just wanted you to have a great time today." She told her.
"Tzuyu, of course, I'm having a great time. Just hanging out with you and not hearing Momo and Mina yelling at each other is already great for me." Sana grinned and playfully punched the younger one's shoulder. Tzuyu felt lighter when she heard that. "Sorry, I was just overthinking." She apologized.
Sana smiled at her, telling her it was okay. She then linked her arms around the girl and they continued walking around while eating their ice cream. Just when they passed by the park, they witnessed two boys arguing with each other.
"Woozi hyung, please. Just one more song, then we're done." This one boy begged to his friend who was a lot shorter than him. The other guy named Woozi clicked his tongue in frustration.
"Dokyeom-ah, my fingers are already bleeding from playing guitar. I'm tired already. Go find someone else to play for you." That was all he said before he left. The boy named Dokyeom sighed and flopped down on a bench. He was about to pack up the guitar he brought to lend to his friend when Satzu came up to him.
The Taiwanese girl tapped his shoulder which caused his attention. "What happened?" He asked the boy. "Ahh, my friend just quit on me. We were supposed to sing for this money making project in school. I mean, I can sing, but it'll be boring if there were no instruments, so I asked him to play guitar."
Tzuyu understood the situation and she knew that the boy needed help. "I can play guitar." She told him. The boy's face lit up. "Really?" Tzuyu nodded and took the guitar to practice some chords.
Then she held out her hand. "I'm Tzuyu, nice to meet you." She said. Dokyeom did the same. "I'm Seokmin, but you can call me Dokyeom or DK." He introduced himself.
"Will you watch us?" Tzuyu asked Sana. "I mean, I don't really have a choice." Sana playfully rolled her eyes at her. Tzuyu gave her a pout and Sana pinched her cheeks. "Kidding, of course, it will be an honor to see Chou Tzuyu play, not basketball, but guitar." She said while standing somewhere where she can get a good view from them.
Because Tzuyu was the one who volunteered to help, DK let her choose the song and he'll just follow along. After thinking for a while, she smiled to herself when she finally thought of a song.
[Plain White T's - 1 2 3 4]
Tzuyu started fingerpicking the intro and DK bopped his head after he recognized the song.
Give me more lovin' than I've ever had
Make it all better when I'm feelin' sad
Tell me that I'm special even when I know I'm not
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely gettin' mad
I'm so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It's easy as one two...
Tzuyu shared eye contact with Sana and gave her a cheeky smile when she started the chorus.
There's only one thing
Two do
Three words
Four you
I love you
People around were already giving out tips and placing it on top of DK's black plastic bag. The boy was really impressed. Tzuyu was killing it.
There's only one way
Two say
Those three words
And that's what I'll do
I love you
She took a glance at Sana while singing the next line.
I love you
Tzuyu started doing her guitar solo. Sana grinned widely at how extra Tzuyu was. When the younger girl saw Sana's reaction, she smiled back at her.
Dokyeom looked at Tzuyu then back at Sana. He felt like something was going on between the two. Just by looking at the way the two girls looked at each other, there was clearly something. Then, he gasped while covering his mouth when he realized what it was.
You make it easy
It's easy as one two...
DK was so hyped that he counted along.
One two three four
There's only one thing
Two do
Three words
Four you
I love you
There's only one way
Two say
Those three words
And that's what I'll do
I love you
I love you
Dokyeom waved his hands up in the air and encouraged the crowd to do it with him, and then he sang.
One two three four...
Tzuyu stood up and walked closer to the Japanese girl before singing her last line.
I love you
Tzuyu ended with the last strum. Everyone watching, including Sana, gave them a big round of applause. DK stood up and thanked Tzuyu for her help. The girl returned the guitar back to him. Before she left, he even tried to give her some money, but Tzuyu refused.
She said it wasn't necessary. So after saying their goodbye's to Seokmin, the two left to be on their own again.
~~
Sana was tired of walking so she told Tzuyu that she wanted to sit on the grass. At first, Tzuyu didn't want her to because it's dirty and such. But because it's Sana, she tried to make it work.
She took off her jacket and layed it on the ground so Sana could sit on it. The older girl thought it was sweet. Not everyone can have a Chou Tzuyu in their lives. Sana was indeed lucky.
Tzuyu wasn't very good with big spaces so she moved closer to Sana to make the gap between them smaller. Sana took this as an advantage to lean her head on the taller girl's shoulder. Tzuyu smiled to herself when she recalled the events that just happened.
She basically indirectly confessed to her crush while singing to her. For her, their 'date' was successful, but the day wasn't over yet. Of course, she wasn't gonna stop there. She had other plans in mind.
"So how was I earlier?" Tzuyu asked the girl clinging on to her. "You were amazing! Since when did you play guitar?" Sana asked her.
"Years ago." Tzuyu answered. "It has been a while since I played guitar again because I was already playing basketball. The song I played a while ago, I recently just taught myself how to play that." She added. Sana nodded as Tzuyu explained.
"That's because I wished that one day, I could play that song for this special someone." Tzuyu told her. Sana furrowed her eyebrows. She was very curious. She wondered who. Her questions have been answered when Tzuyu spoke again.
"My wish came true today."
Sana was hit with reality when she remembered what happened today. She was about to say something but Tzuyu cut her off.
"Forgive me if I do this..." The next thing she knew, she was already locking her lips with Tzuyu. Her eyes widened in surprised but she slowly relaxed when she remembered that it was just Tzuyu.
Tzuyu pulled away and she sighed. "I don't know what to say. But I really want to let you know that I have feelings for you, really strong feelings." She was caught off guard when she felt Sana's lips on hers again.
"You don't have to say anything else because I feel the same way." She whispered to her when they pulled away. Tzuyu nearly cried because of happiness. She was even worried before that Sana would reject her.
"So what comes next?" Sana asked and Tzuyu knew exactly what she was waiting for. Even she was excited for this moment. "I know that this way of asking is very overrated, but I just want it simple."
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"And be the reason of my happiness?" Sana asked back. "Well..." She leaned closer to the younger girl. "I couldn't say no to that." She captured her lips again. Half of the wish she just made during their first date came true and nothing could explain her happiness.
The two stayed together in each other's presence. Then this one song popped into Tzuyu's mind so she decided to sing it.
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When I hold you in my arms
Tzuyu wrapped her arms around Sana, who she can now call her girlfriend.
I know that it's forever
I just gotta let you know
I never wanna let you go
She hummed the rest of the song while Sana closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment. A song also popped into the other girl's head.
"There's only one thing..." She sang and Tzuyu chuckled as she continued singing.
"Two do."
Sana smiled widely. "Three words."
"Four you..." Tzuyu brought themselves closer together and kissed Sana's forehead.
"I love you." The two of them sang together while looking at each other with heart eyes.
