They continue watching several videos of you, dra. zapanta, and the police officers. Tzuyu's stomach is churning after losing count on how many times they made you watch the school cctv, the police body cam and re-tell your memory. She's mad because how can they make you suffer all over again for so many times? How can they cut your wounds deeper than it already is?
On the last video tzuyu can clearly see how distraught you are. You were so young. You were a child. You should be resting on your hospital bed letting your woung heal. Not cry while re-watching the cctv where the man removed his gas masked laughing after firing up on your classroom. Not hiding when continues banging on your hospital door is reminding you of the gunshots. Those parents should know not to demand answers from you just because you're the only who survived.
Tzuyu stood up hastily picking up her duffle bag and bow case while the girls look at her in confusion. "tzu where are you going? I'll drop you off don't drive" tzuyu shakes her head before grabbing a blank paper and pen on dra. Jieuns table. Jieun didnt had time to argue because someone called her phone.
Jihyo laughs humorlessly after reading what tzuyu gave her. "what the fuck is this?" she sigh when nayeon joins jihyos questioning and both blocked the door so she wouldnt leave. "do you need some space? We can give you that but this isnt arguab-" "no. I dont need space I need to be as close to my girlfriend as possible excuse me." Tzuyu tried walking through them but jihyo wont budge.
"Tzuyu this is something you can't decide on" the youngest pointed at the paper with so much hatred "I wrote that. I signed it. I leave. I quit the nationals im sorry I need to go." Jihyo tore the paper containing tzuyus invocation of her rights to participate the nationals. "You cant just leave tzuyu" "I cant just fucking sit there and watch her trauma over and over and and and fucking shit because my girlfriend is dying. Oh my god"
Tzuyu started shaking when the image of you two dancing under the moonlight crossed her mind. Her hand suddenly let go of the duffle bags as it feels that her energy is being drained away after she hears your voice asking her what she'd do when you're already bedridden. Tzuyu didn't know what to do. She can't even cry because of how overwhelmed she is. But luckily, jieun was there to help her up again.
"She won't die if you give her a reason to live" jieun hushes her down until she's breathing calmer and small teardrops are falling from her eyes. "kayoungs with her. If you drop your position in the nationals then you just proved her right for not telling you her condition" tzuyus sobs subsided. So even after all this time you're still thinking of her. You weren't selfish for keeping your condition hidden to her. You were selfless for keeping her safe from all the darkness surrounding you.
"Stay and watch her. Kayoung called and her competition started already. Check your phone she's expecting you." Tzuyu couldn't do anything but sit down beside jihyo who immediatedly rubs her back for comfort. Tzuyu checked her phone and saw multiple messages from you.
Baobei is your training done? My competition will begin in an hour.
As embarrassing as I may sound, I need the hugs and kisses of my wonderful girlfriend for goodluck.
Tzuyu Jackson oppa said you left training early are you sick bab?
Watch from the very beginning tzuyu If you dont I will tie you to our bed when I return.
Wonderful girlfriend. Tzuyu breathes as if the words are blocking the air from escaping her lungs. Is that also one of your lies to make me feel happy? Tzuyu doesn't know what to think in this situation. Part of her wants to be mad because how can you keep something as serious as this to her? But majority of her heart and mind is sad because of the revelation of your past, the situation you are present in and the condition of your future.
"Oh my God" Tzuyu looked up to where chaeyoung is pointing and the television showed the channel where your competition is airing. The advertisement ended and the second round is about to begin but what caught Tzuyu's eyes is you. It's the first time tzuyu saw you after that night.
Most might not notice the changes in your appearance but tzuyu does. She stare at you too much to not notice the circles under your eyes. The redness of its white and dilation of your iris. tzuyu knows your cheekbones weren't that prominent. Weren't supposed to be that prominent in just a few days.
Tzuyu memorized your lip shape, the feeling of it on hers, the taste of it so she can't be wrong if she says that its too swollen yet dry. The uneven placements of your lipsticks pigments alarms her because that just means some of your lipsticks are stuck in your lip cracks.
"oh baobei" tzuyu could only whisper her cries while you try to not furrow your brows and hold your head every time you brainstorm an answer for the host's question. Tzuyu could only pray you finish the game fast or even drop the game just so you can stop fidgeting your fingers to manage the pain.
The third round came and you still haven't dropped off the competition. Tzuyu know you're willing to go for another 2 hours of enduring your pain if it means winning. Tzuyu wants you to lose. Tzuyu wants you to stop. Tzuyu wants her girlfriend to be safe. As expected, Tzuyu's prayers are always answered by the Gods. But tzuyu didn't like how the Gods stopped your game. If being honest, she started hating the Gods for how they misunderstood her prayers.
The game abruptly stopped when 4 men in suits hastily walked their way to the panel's table. One of them whispered to the Director of the Olympiad League's ear while one of them showed an ipad. The other 2 was informing the Host and the Live Broadcast Director what the issue was and before the contestants figure even a bit of their conversation, a loud booming voice and thud rang inside the room.
Because the same time that the Olympiad director shouted "Y/N L/N I demand you to leave this room and proceed to the Olympiad Committee's Office" is the same time that blood started pooling off of your nose and your eyelids start flickering. You fell down to the ground and your body started jerking uncontrollably.
Tzuyu's world stopped. She can't feel Jihyo's grip on her shoulder. She can't see how Dahyun was frantically fixing the remote to turn off the TV.She didn't notice Jieun and Suzy grabbing their wallet and passport before running way. She can't do anything else after she heard Kayoung shouting "Medic! We need medic damnit she's having a seizure!"
Again. Tzuyu's world stopped when your breathing did.
