A gush of wind gently blew onto Tzuyu's flawless face who shut her eyes down, enjoying the nature and fresh grape's scent. When she opened her eyes, the God's simple yet perfect beauty nature made a smile formed on her beautiful face. Tzuyu picked a green fresh grape and ate it before she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder.

"Do you love this place, Love?"Taehyung asked, holding Tzuyu's wheelchair. Tzuyu gave him a gentle smile and nod.

"Thank you Taehyung-ah, I love this so much,"Tzuyu answered whilst rubbing Taehyung's back palm.

"I remember when we were eight, you said you want to go to the farm which has grape garden. You surely really love grape's scent aren't you?"Taehyung asked, recalling the old memories. Tzuyu gave a soft chuckle.

"Yeah you're right. They're fresh. The fruit I love the most, and wow! You still remember that!"Tzuyu said excitedly. Taehyung giggled following her and gave a quick peck on Tzuyu's lips from behind where he stood behind Tzuyu's wheelchair.

"I remember everything that we had been through, Miss Chou,"Taehyung said. Tzuyu smiled warmly upon hearing Taehyung's words but there was sadness from her gaze. It's been 6 months after Sana got into an accident. During Sana's comatose for a month at hospital with unstable condition, only Taehyung who could be Tzuyu's oase. Her entertainer when she was frightened about the possibility that Sana won't make it. That one day the cardio machine which was connected with Sana's body could turn into a long straight line. Moreover she didn't have enough rest because she worried Sana and also her worsened physical condition. For these past months Tzuyu has been fighting with a lymph nodes malignant which secretly take over her body until finally she lost her power to even stand up and she could only walk longer just with the wheelchair's help.

Life's gotten harder, but those pain and suffer made Tzuyu more mature.

"I really love you and Sana,"Tzuyu wrapped her arms around Taehyung's.

"I don't want to be Sana's rival,"Taehyung joked around. Tzuyu just giggled then she looked up to the blue sky.

"It was one day when Sana worried my rough behavior and easy to get into fight with other people. We brawled for the very first time, my first quarrel with a friend and it made me for the very first time felt like I have a sister. We brawled and I didn't come to school for a week, Sana also never came to visit me for that long time. Until finally Sana came to my house and brought her handmade cake. Her first cake was tasteless and pretty solid, but I forced myself to eat it up just to see her smile. I adore Sana's smile so damn much,"Tzuyu smiled dreamily, talking about the past. She recalled with the days when it was only both of them who fought against the world. The violent world for them, where they finally could protect each other. Tzuyu protected Sana who always got bullied and Sana protected Tzuyu who always felt lonely and unwanted.

"I can't be happy if she didn't smile. Her smile could really boost my energy. Sana is so priceless. Even I think if I were to leave, instead I'm the one who will be down because I can't see her anymore,"Tzuyu smiled faintly, she almost burst into tears upon imagining if one day she would be parted away with Sana.

"Ssshhh...Honey, don't talk about sad things,"Taehyung moved from his position and kneeling down in front of Tzuyu, holding her hands and trying to hide his sadness. Tzuyu leaned closer to Taehyung and reached his shoulder for a hug,"I'm sorry,"Tzuyu whispered.

She smiled sadly to Taehyung, her condition won't get any better but Taehyung still stayed. Just like his promise to not leave Tzuyu's side no matter what. Tzuyu was feeling so grateful for having Taehyung beside her.

"Yo Tzuyu! I already took the fruits that we need to make fruit pie,"Sana came from the corner of the grape's trees with Jimin followed behind her.
