Sublime Dignity

Tzuyu's POV

The sun is brighter than it was before. So are the colors of our schoolyard because of these flowers. Aaaaah. Spring is really here and mina unnie's birthday is just a few days while. I continue admiring the garden until my eyes fall on a specific tree.

"Tss. Momoring" I still can't believe momo unnie demanded to jihyo unnie for a momo tree to be planted in the middle of our garden. "She's such a child." I continue walking the hallway until I arrived at Y/N's classroom.

I stood at the door seeing her glaring at her blockmates. "This is incomplete hyun I won't accept this" Her brows are creasing more and the group are almost shaking. Moments like this reminds me that she's such a different person around other people. So closed off. So.. not my mrs. Chou.

"We'll finish it by next we--"  "Next week? I can finish this in 3 days and there's four of you. No. Re-submit this on Friday." They scurried off giving me and Y/N a private time. "You could never be a teacher" Y/N's glare from the group transfered to me. However, as soon as she saw who it was, her whole demeanor changed.

She gave her hand asking me to take it and I sat down on the desk behind her seat. "You're overworking yourself bab" I start massaging her shoulder blades. Stiff. Before massaging the crown of her head. Pulsating. "You know why. Thanks babi" she continue eating the food I brought.

The Olympiad is nearing. "I know but you should loosen a bit. It's taking a toll on you. You take more pills than before. It's alarming me." Funny enough, she's about to gulp down 3? 4? pills when I said that. She sigh taking my hand and kissing its palm. "I'm sorry for worrying you. This is okay babi my doctor approved this." She raised the pills I don't know what's for. She doesn't want to show me the label.

"And.. we'll be in jeju on mina-chan's birthday. I'll have my leisure time. I'll.. loosen up.. as you said" she say looking up to me and her smile made me at ease. Okay she's fine chewy we're overreacting. "Hmm. I'll go now bab I have practice. Let's go home together hmm?" I lean down to kiss her nose before moving away. Hopefully she's okay.

Third Person's POV

"Babi why are you so tensed?" You asked calmly seeing how tzuyu looked so frustrated inside your hotel room. It's your second day on Jeju. Well technically, first day because you arrived last night.

"Nothing bab." It sure doesn't look nothing seeing how she's biting her fingernails. You stood up circling her nape. "We don't have to swim" you peck her shoulder once. She don't like the ocean waves. They pull her.

Tzuyu's gaze soften knowing you remember small details she told you. "No babi its not about that. Thank you" she circle your waist making you smile. "Enlighten me" you know she couldn't deny you. Nor could she lie. But tzuyu felt so embarassed to tell you.

"Babii. You can tell me. I'll help you" you offered. "I-it's just sana unnie." You nod for her to continue. "Sana unnie.. fooled me into drinking last night and made me bet something..." her ears flushed and she hid her face in your neck. You hum caressing her nape.

"And? What is the bet about baobei?" You heard a small whimper and tzuyu came even closer to your neck. "Uhm... can you... uhm. not call me that while lightly tugging the hair on my nape?" You finally released a chuckle before settling to hugging her. "Kinky" tzuyu immediately let go of you to look at your face to see if she heard it right.

When she saw the glint of playfulness on your calm expression she turn a slight shade of red snarking "i really can't believe people think you're innocent." She roll her eyes trying to look unbothered. "Babi the bet. What gives?" You asked making the sullen expression return in her face. "Oh. Uhm. She made me bet this necklace you gave me"
