Missing Memories (Tzuyu X TWICE)

Chapter 21

The two walked around the room admiring each display. Chaeyoung looked at each display with extreme focus. She analyzed each display for its meticulous details and deeper meaning. Her expressions changed from focused to happiness when she came to a realization about the intention of the display's artist.

Tzuyu focused very little on the displays and was more focused on Chaeyoung. She watched over Chaeyoung with a warm smile as the older girl looked at the displays. She felt her heart tug every time the older girl smiled.

"Okay, let's go to the next room," Chaeyoung said, gaining a nod of approval from Tzuyu.

The next room was filled with abstract paintings. The widest smile formed on Chaeyoung's lips when she saw what was in the room. Tzuyu could not help but want to take a picture of Chaeyoung's expression but refrained herself from doing so.

Chaeyoung walked up to the first painting and started to analyze its details. Tzuyu stood beside Chaeyoung and started to do the same thing. All she could see were shapes and colours. To her, there was not much to see, but she could see that Chaeyoung saw a lot more than her in the painting.

They stopped at several paintings before coming across a painting of a landscape. It was a rather simple painting with the view of a field. A house stood at the forefront of the painting with mountains and trees behind it. There were clouds in the sky with a few of them being rather dark.

"How do you feel about this painting?" Chaeyoung asked as she turned towards Tzuyu.

Tzuyu turned towards Chaeyoung and thought for a second before replying, "Sorry, Chaeyoung, but I can't think of anything."

Chaeyoung giggled, "It's not about what you think; it's about what's in here," she pointed at Tzuyu's chest where her heart would be.

"What do you mean?" Tzuyu asked in confusion.

"Most people use this when they look at art," Chaeyoung pointed at her head, "But very few use this when they look at art," she pointed at where her heart would be; "Art is very complicated. It is not about what you can see; but instead, it is about what you can feel. An artist tries to convey their emotions through their piece of art. People who truly understand art are able to feel these emotions."

Chaeyoung looked back at the painting and took a moment before continuing, "However, the thing I like the most about art is that you can interpret it in so many ways. You may wish to convey a certain emotion in your artwork, but someone else could interpret it differently and vice versa. The possibilities are endless when you let your heart do the talking in art."

Tzuyu looked back at the painting and took what Chaeyoung said to heart, "That's an interesting view on art. I wonder if I could feel it the same way as you do."

Chaeyoung giggled, "Tzuyu, art is unique in that everyone can interpret it in their own way. Yes, most of the time people interpret it the same way, but people sometimes have unique interpretations. You shouldn't aim to interpret art the same way as I do but interpret it in your own unique Tzuyu way."

Tzuyu giggled at the joke Chaeyoung put in at the end, "Even when you are being serious, you somehow find a way to slip in a joke."

"I wouldn't be Chaeyoung of TWICE if I didn't slip in a lame joke every once in a while," Chaeyoung stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Yeah, you wouldn't," Tzuyu giggled as she started to pat Chaeyoung's head.

Chaeyoung started to blush at Tzuyu's actions. A minute passed before Tzuyu realized what she was doing. A blush formed on her cheeks as she stopped patting Chaeyoung's head. They stared at each other with a shy smile.

"Should we keep on going?" Chaeyoung asked.

"Yeah," Tzuyu nodded her head.

The next room was a special exhibit. Chaeyoung's eyes lit up with pure joy when she saw all of the strawberry themed displays in the room. There were also a lot of families with their kids looking at the exhibit.

Chaeyoung began to run around the room looking at the various displays. She would run up to a display and looked at it with pure happiness before another display would spark her interest. There was pure innocence in her expression that Tzuyu could not help but melt at. She also giggled at the duality that she was witnessing.

Tzuyu could not help but notice that Chaeyoung looked like the other children running around the room. She took out her phone and took some candid pictures of Chaeyoung as she followed the older girl around the room. A warm feeling flooded Tzuyu's body as she fondly looked at the pictures she captured.

Tzuyu looked up from her phone to see Chaeyoung jumping at the back of a large crowd to try to get a glimpse at the display that they were looking at. She walked closer to the crowd and saw a model replica of a strawberry farm on the ground. The replica was life-like and looked exactly like the strawberry farm that they had visited earlier in the day.

Chaeyoung stopped jumping after a minute. She crossed her arms in front of her and started to pout. She really wanted to see what everyone else was looking at. Tzuyu witnessed Chaeyoung pouting and could not help but giggle at how cute the older girl looked.

Tzuyu took a quick picture of Chaeyoung pouting before putting her phone away. She walked up behind Chaeyoung, crouched down, wrapped her arms around the older girl's legs, and lifted the girl up. Chaeyoung was surprised by the sudden action and started to protest at whoever was lifting her but calmed down once she realized that it was Tzuyu lifting her.

Chaeyoung finally got to look at the replica that everyone else was looking at. Her eyes widen in joy as she made the same observations that Tzuyu made. Tzuyu's sudden giggle filled Chaeyoung's ears and she could not help but think that it was the most angelic sound that she had ever heard.

Tzuyu let Chaeyoung down after the older girl told her to do so. Chaeyoung turned around and gave Tzuyu a wide smile which Tzuyu replicated. They stared at each other with a warm gaze in a comfortable silence.

Chaeyoung suddenly kissed Tzuyu's cheek, which caused the younger girl to blush, "Thank you, Tzuyu."
