"Baby it's your last time, to give me your best try and to give your heart to me"

S.P

"Soooo...about kidnapping me...do you guys have an answer now?"

Orange juice flew across the table landing on Minghao's face, then Minghao, who was blindly screaming thanks to vitamin c, knocked over his glass of water and made Mr.Peppers -Ming's kitty- screech because cats and water don't get along.

A.

Whole.

Ass.

Mess.

The both of them were arguing for a good 5 minutes until I stood, taking my plate and utensils with me to drop them in the sink. But once I came back to the table, somehow, someway, they weren't arguing anymore.

Maybe I can thank Mr.Peppers who kept rubbing his fluffy lil body around their legs. Either way, pets have saved the day, once again.

"Are you two good, or nah?" I chuckled while grabbing their plates to put in the dishwasher. But Minghao held my hand, preventing me.

As time went by, with him still holding my hand, a dangerous flare of animosity circled.

Shit was getting way too hot, way too quick, thanks to Tzuyu and her aura raining H.E.L.L in the air.  

Minghao felt the intense glares and quickly released my hand. "S-sorry", he stammered for a second before sighing. "Right, about delivering you to my house" Usually he was so confident when he spoke. It didn't matter if things were bleak or hopeless, he'd always be that positive lil ball of sunshine that we all needed. But now, it was nowhere to be found. He didn't seem like the Minghao I once knew.

There was a tap on the table. I glowered a bit when Tzuyu had a finger wagging at me to sit back down. I don't much like being called over like some dog, y'know? Like am I shiba to you or something!?

Peace and calm Sana. . .peace and calm

Though reluctant to sit beside her, I obliged, then immediately scooted the chair 5 inches from her. Tzuyu furrowed her brows while watching me yeet away. The chair was fucking heavy and would drag across the floor whenever I moved. Nobody said a word while observing moi, an idiot, continue scooting from a not so amused da-Tzuyu.

Mayhaps I'm still delirious from lack of sleep...yes, we'll go with that excuse

I coughed a few times, hoping it would release the awkward tension. "A-as you were saying, Minghao" My shaky hand gestured him to continue with his speech. He blinked, obviously confused, until reality whacked him across the face.

"Right right!" There was a crack in his voice, but he payed it no mind, so nor will I. "Well, first of all, I apologize on short notice for bringing you here. It wasn't my intention to be so, how do you say, vulgar, with the approach. But we were on short time and still are"

Of course. Nothing out of his mouth made any sense to me.

"It's fine, I'm not mad. I didn't miss jessie, it's good. Everything's fine" NO. Everything's not fine! I badly want to flip over this table and jump out of a window. I am utterly pissed I missed Grey's Anatomy. Utterly pissed.

"Ooookay.." Minghao muttered while squinting his eyes at me. "So the reason why you're here is because we, Tzuyu and I...needyoutomeetourparentsbecausetheythinkyou'llbeusefulforJapan"

Won't the real slim shady please stand up?

What is this boy on. Wait...what are they both on? Pass it over here please my anxiety would very much like it.  

"Boy—You. . .What?", I drawled, scrunching my nose in confuzzle.

He sighed. "W-we...we need you..."

"O-kay? For what?"

"For Japan. Our parents want to have dinner with the three of us tonight", grumbled Tzuyu, face contorted in a tight lip frown while on her phone.

Well. Ok. I did say I would visit them soon. . .but ya girl didn't mean THIS soon.

"Japan. Dinner. Tonight" Those 3 words were forever echoing, floating around in my mind. There's no use trying to piece them together right now. Best if I just don't think.

Minghao suddenly rose to his feet, scaring Mr.Peppers in the process. "Again, I'm sorry for the short notice but we really need you Sana. And after dinner, I'll answer any questions you have" He gave a dim smile before going around the corner, out of sight.

I sat there completely lost. Like I usually am whenever the Chous' are involved. Their family is so mysteriously weird, yet funny that neither Nayeon, Jihyo, nor I, know a thing about them. The only thing we do know is that Ming and Tzuyu had to leave before our senior year because of family matters.

But since that day, we never heard or seen from them again.

At least. . . not until we met Jihyo's so called 'boyfriend' and his friends at the club that day.

"Sana" Minghao's bubbly voice entered my thoughts, popping me back to reality. I glanced at him so I could reply, but the thing within his hands made me buffer. "This would look divine on you. But in terms of slang...ya gon snatch up some wigs sis! wiG gRoUP fIghTiNg"

Wig? Bish I'm not wearing a wig. What the fuck

"I-it's...beautiful". Despite being lowkey salty about the wig thing, I stood up and went towards him. His eyes sparkled when handing me the dress. It was beautiful. So damn beautiful. "Did you pick this out yourself?", I asked and he shook his head with a smile. My eyebrows furrowed. "Then who?"

A tornado flew around my room before you came. No literally, I need to clean my room when I get a chance.

But as I was saying. . .

Minghao pointed in Tzuyu's direction. She looked up at me, that same benevolent look I've come to love etched across her face.

However, her benevolence began to whirl into something ominous. Her eyes, void and darkened, averted. "Don't be so surprised, it ain't nothing special", she scoffed.

Special. The word she would often tell me daily. Every morning, every evening, and every goodnight. Special. I was special to her. Yet here I stand, foolishly, before the igniter of my flame, who now extinguishes it.

"Aha right...nothing special" My eyes lowered when I held the dress close to my heart. "I-I'll just...go...try this one now"

Minghao was trying to get my attention by yelling out my name. But I neither cared nor bothered to answer as I went upstairs. Dejected. Heartbroken.

Love fucking sucks. . .
