she's a vampire » satzu (completed)

chapter 14: explained

Sana was thinking about Tzuyu when she was making some light bites for herself. Has Tzuyu reached home yet? She usually wouldn't think of this, but since Tzuyu didn't talk much to her today, she felt like wanting to know how Tzuyu was doing.

Sana picked up her handphone, only to be deep in thoughts. She wanted to call Tzuyu, wanted to know that she's okay, but she didn't know if she should or not.

Alas, she called Tzuyu and, much to her surprise, heard a familiar ringtone just outside her apartment. Rustling sounds came, and the ringtone stopped, so as her call.

Wait, is that- Sana frowned, and she tried calling again.

Tzuyu panicked when her phone's screen brightened up again, this time vibrating violently. She'd just switched her phone to silent mode, but the vibrating still made her presence outside Sana's apartment quite obvious, unless Sana was listening to music using earphones.

She wanted to sprint downstairs, only to be stopped when Sana's apartment door swung open, revealing a confused Sana.

"Tzuyu? Why are you here? Hadn't you gone back home?" Sana frowned, looking at her.

Tzuyu looked a bit embarrassed, "My parents went with Jihyo to her hometown, and they didn't let me know until just now...and I don't have my keys with me. My mum usually opens the door when I get home. So...I'm kinda homeless now, and I came here."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Sana looked like an angry squirrel now. Tzuyu couldn't help but laughed a little at Sana's cuteness. "Yah Chou Tzuyu! Why are you laughing?"

Tzuyu managed to stopped, but her lips were curling upwards in a beautiful way, and Sana could only gulp a little. "It's...nothing."

"Well you have to come in first and I'll have you to answer my questions." Sana let Tzuyu came in and a few minutes later, she found herself and Tzuyu sitting at the dining table, with a plate of gimbap in front of them.

"So," Sana started, "how long have you been outside my apartment?"

"Well..." Tzuyu shifted a bit, looking away, "about an hour? I'm not sure."

"And why didn't you knock earlier?"

"I..." Tzuyu hesitated, "I didn't know if it would be a disturbance to you."

"Are you a pabo?" said Sana, with an amused look. "We're friends, how is it a disturbance if you seek help from friends?"

Tzuyu considered her coldness to Sana today, and decided not to speak much but only to look away, once again.

"Tzuyu, why aren't you talking to me today?" Sana gathered all her courage to ask this.

"I'm just...tired. Didn't get enough sleep. Sorry." Tzuyu apologised, though not the truth she gave.

Sana sighed. "I guess you should get some shower, I'll cook some dinner for us. And oh, you probably didn't bring your clothes for change, so you could wear mine. As for uniform, I think you could wash yours using my washing machine and then let it dry overnight. Should be dry until tomorrow morning."

Tzuyu nodded, muttered a thanks and went to the bathroom, her hands gripping a new towel that Sana gave her.

Once in the bathroom, she took out the vampire candy box and took one out for dinner. One bite, and the blood came rushing into Tzuyu's mouth. She felt relieved, finally having her dinner.

Tzuyu sighed a little, how am I going to deal with Sana for these few days? She thought.

When Tzuyu sat down again in front of Sana, eating the dinner Sana made, she couldn't help but ate faster than usual, like she's a human not a vampire, like she hadn't eat anything for a few days.
