Eyes Closed

7 ; Hook ups

September 02, 2018

Momo came back in the office with a hopeless expression on her face. Both Mr Chou and I had to stop laughing about something he told me about one of Tzuyu's childhood memories as Moko groaned in frustration.

"Dad, are you freaking sure Tzuyu's your daughter?" She sighed in annoyance, walking towards Mr Chousy table and sitting on the edge of it.

"Where is she?" Mr Chou asked seriously. "I told you to bring her here so she can meet Sana,"

"I know," the lady scratched her head. "I had to try my best to drag her here but she's so much stronger than me,"

"What happened?" He asked, looking at his daughter.

"I told her that you want her to meet someone and she just told me to fuck off and that if it's some bimbo dad's trying to get me with then I'm out," she exaggerated as she mimicked Tzuyu's voice.

Mr Chou shook his head in disappointment, sighing heavily. "I'm sorry that she can't be here today Sana, but I'll set up a dinner date for the both of you later. Is that fine with you?" He looked at me.

I hesitated. Just the two of us? "O– of course, Sir.." Who am I to say no to that?

"Awesome!" Momo and him both exclaimed at the same time causing the three of us to burst out into fits of giggle.

"For the meanwhile, shopping would probably be a good idea to kill your time before dinner," Mr Chou suggested looking at me.

"But, sir.."

"No buts Ms Minatozaki, I want you to look pleasant for later," he said. "And don't worry, everything is on me."

"I can't do that, Mr Ch—"

"You can't say no," he added.

"Just pretend that it's part of the deal, Sana." Momo happily said.

I hesitantly gave up and just nodded my head as silence overtook the whole room, until I spoke again.

"Do you think..." I paused and breathed in and out to release my doubt. "Do you think Tzuyu will show up?" I asked Momo.

"Oh shit," she cursed silently, looking at the only man in the room. "Dad, remember when Tzuyu stood up for Nayeon the night they were supposed to meet?"

"Who's Nayeon?" I asked them.

Mr Chou shook his head, disappointed. "She's one of the girls we tried setting up with Tzuyu. That poor lady waited for two hours and a half only to find Tzuyu with another one of her hook ups,"

"If she does not want to be set up, then why not just let her marry one of her hook ups?"

Wait what? Sana that's a fucking set up too. You fucking idiot!

"Sana," Momo chuckled. "That's why it's called a hook up. There's no feelings attached and dad's so desperate to end all of Tzuyu's hook ups,"

"But what about me? It's impossible for Tzuyu to develop feelings for me in a span of a second," I argued, "There's no feelings attached too,"

"But Sana," Mr Chou sighed. "I have a strong intuition that you and her might be a thing in the future. The moment I saw you enter my room, I know Tzuyu won't say no to you,"

What he said silenced me. I looked down for a moment and then looked up to them again.

"How many hook ups does she have in total?" I asked amused and insecure.

"A LOOOT!" Momo exaggerated, rolling her eyes after. "You think someone who has multi-million money on her head won't use that opportunity to be able to attract women?" She added in a mocking tone. "That girl is stupid, I swear."

"Anyway," Mr Chou cleared his throat, "there's a fifty-fifty percent that Tzuyu's going to stood you up. So I'm just going to set up an important family dinner and then we'll see where that leads us," Mr Chou decided.

"So you'll be there too?" I asked.

He nodded and smiled at me. "That's great, Sir." I returned his smile.

At least I won't be looking like an idiot waiting for someone who's unlikely going to show up.

"Momo," he looked at his daughter, "call Sunmi and you both accompany Sana. Do everything you can to make her more beautiful, okay?"

"Okay, dad." Momo obeyed, clapping her hands excitedly. "Let's go Sana," she said, pulling me out of the door before I could even say my goodbye to Mr Chou.
