17: Genie

Tzuyu

I wandered my eyes around to look for Sana. She called me earlier and asked me to pick her up so I rushed my ass in here because she sounds like she's drunk.

She said she will go to her friend's birthday party but I didn't expect the party to be this wild. Everyone was hyped up in this house, some are dancing and some are drowning themselves with alcohol.

I just wish that she wasn't in that state when I find her.

I just have to look for a girl with a ginger coloured hair, she sure will stand out because of that. I tried to look at the pool and there's still no trace of her.

I was busy looking for a drunk Sana when my phone rang and flashed the name of my engineer. I tried to find a quiet place before answering it and I came upon an open underground basement so I made my way down there.

"Hello Sanha?" I finally answered the call before the ring died down.

"Are you busy?" He asked, maybe he heard how I'm almost out of breath. It's suffocating in here, the crowded people that smells like alcohol. It sure is breathtaking, but not in a good way.

"Kind of. What is it?" I questioned his agenda, maybe it's about work.

"Nothing. I just called to inform you that the blueprint you sent is here." He said, probably pertaining about the blueprint of Sana's house that I've been working on for the past few months.

"Oh yeah. Let's discuss it tomorrow at lunch in the Retro."

"Okay sure. I'll hang up now, continue to do what you're doing."

"Thanks Sanha, bye." I said and he hung up.

I was about to go back outside to look for Sana, but I heard a familiar voice coming from the end of this basement that I'm in.

"Let me go dumbass!" A squeaky familiar voice shouted. It was Sana, I'm certain. So I ran to get to where the voice is coming from.

Is she getting molested right now? If yes, I'm ready to beat the hell out of that bastard. I looked behind the shelves to look for her until I reached the end and saw her there—alone.

I looked around to look for a third party but there weren't any. She was just alone here with an old stainless kettle on her hand or maybe her hand inside the kettle?

"Sana-chan what are you doing back here?" I asked and checked her right away if she's hurt anywhere.

"I was about to go home but genie won't let go of me." I furrowed my brows and looked at her.

"Who's genie?" I asked and she pointed at the kettle where her hand is stucked at.

"Genie." She seriously said and I can't help but let out a chuckle.

"Is that why you're hand is stuck there?" I asked and she nodded cutely while pouting her lips.

"I tried to force him out but he stucked my hand inside instead and now he isn't letting go. It's frustrating." She said as she shaked her hand with a kettle and cried like a baby.

"Okay I'll help you, don't cry okay?" I said and she nodded like an obedient kid.

"Why did you even tried to force him out?" I said as I tried to twist the kettle carefully with my right hand and used my left hand to hold her arm, I tried to figure out how to pull it without hurting her before I make a move.

"Because he's not fulfilling my wish." She answered as I successfully pulled her hand out of the kettle.

"What did you wish?" I checked her hand that had a red mark around her wrist. This must've hurt.

"I wished for Tzuyu to come." I froze in my spot as she said those words. "But Tzuyu still isn't here. Bad genie." She pouted again and rubbed her hand.

She was saying things as if I wasn't in front of her. She's really drunk.

"Stranger, can you find my phone for me. I have to call Tzuyu." She asked for me as she tried to look for her phone in her pocket.

"It's me Sana. It's Tzuyu." I said as I held her shoulders. She lifted her head and flashed a smile for me.

"Really?" She placed both of her hands on my face and squeezed it making my lips pop out. I nodded for her and she jumped in happiness.

I didn't know you'll be so happy to see me.

"Come on. I'll take you home."

I took off my hoodie and wear it over her. I put the hood on her then I grabbed her left hand and entwined our fingers together.

We made our way out through the wild crowd hand in hand, I held her hand tightly to protect her from being stumbled upon by the wild dancers.

When we passed by the pool the living room is full of drunk people doing unnecessary things. I can't belive she attend such parties, this is too wild for a cute Sana that I know.

When I successfully taken her outside of the house, I took her to my car and helped her settle on the passenger's  seat before I closed the door for her.

I took the driver's seat and pressed the keys then drove away from the party.

As the drive was covered in silence, I turned my head to look at her.

Her head was resting on the window and she had her lips slightly opened as she fell asleep in an uncomfortable position, but still, she was sleeping peacefully.

I let her be like that until we arrived at the dorm where she stays with her other members.

"Sana-ah wake up, we're here." I shook her a bit to wake her up and her eyes opened slightly, then she smiled at me.

"It's my Tzuyu." My heart fluttered from the way she addressed me. She was just my client or maybe my new made friend, but nevertheless why do I feel so affected by her?

She leaned forward and put her arms on my nape then pulled me closer, just enough for me to feel her breath. I froze in my spot by the sudden action. I looked at her eyes down to her pointy nose.

Then my eyes reached her lips, but I looked away as soon as I felt my temptation of wanting to own it, of wishing to claim it like its mine.

I tried to break free from her grip but I was too late because she pulled me closer to her. I closed my eyes and let her kiss me.

I can't believe she fulfilled my desires on her own. She just kissed me suddenly and I know that I like it.

She's nibbling on my lower lip while my hands are trailing down her waist, wrapping it onto her as I replied on her kisses.

My lips finds its way down to her jaw and onto her neck. I was enjoying every single move, until I heard a moan  escaped her lips that made me pull out.

What the hell have you done Tzuyu?

"Why did you stop?" She asked and I leaned on my seat gripping on the steering wheel.

"You're drunk Sana. I'll call Jihyo." I said in a monotone voice so that I wouldn't sound so nervous. I got off the car and fetched my phone on my back pocket to call Jihyo.

We weren't even dating and I did that to her while she was drunk. That's basically taking advantage of the situation, and I don't want to be that kind of a bad person.

"I said, why did you stop?" I heard her ask again, she's out of the car now. I think she's mad at me, but I know she'll probably forget about all this tomorrow morning.

"You're not sober Sana." I said without looking at her. I can't seem to face her after what just happened. "Go inside, it's cold." I tried to make her follow what I said, but she just held onto her forehead while walking back and forth of the road.

"Get inside Sana. It's cold." I said once more but she didn't listen.

She just looked at me and started to walk away from my car and away from their dorm.

I followed her right away, where is she going this late at night? When I reached her I pulled her on the wrist and turned her to look at me.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I shouted out of frustration.

"What the hell is wrong with me? No! What the hell is wrong with you?!" She punched me on the shoulder then break out crying in front of me.

"Can't you see it huh? No matter how drunk or sober I am. I wouldn't kiss you if I don't like you!" She yelled then covered her face as she cried, trying to control her unruly emotions.

"I like you Tzuyu. I like you." Her voice muffled. I walked closer to her and pulled her into my embrace.

"Sana." I looked down as my voice started to hoarse. "The truth is,"

"I like you too—a lot."
