     "PST, JIWOO-SSI," DAHYUN WHISPERED, NUDGING HER SHOULDER. The lightning and thunder outside are making her wide awake not being able to sleep.

A loud thunder sound made Dahyun's blood cold as she jumped in her place, a whimper escaping her lips, "Unnie, please wake up." She shakily said, nudging the older female's shoulder, this time harder.

"What for God's sake!" Jiwoo hissed, turning to look at her. The once irritating look soon faded when she saw her face, causing her heart to drop.

Not saying anything, she opened her arms. Dahyun lied her head on her chest, whimpering once again when the thunder sounds came.

"It's okay, sweetheart." She softly whispered, running her fingers through her hair.

Finally finding a safe place in her sister's arms, she allowed to fall asleep to the feeling of Jiwoo's fingers in her hair.

     TODAY HAS BEEN ONE OF JIWOO'S WORST DAY OF HER LIFE. She had an argument with Yoongi, she kept messing up at rehearsal, her manager had yelled at her in front of everyone at the company, and her mom called her saying that her grandma's condition is getting worse.

Storming in through their dorm, ignoring the concerned looks of her members.

Focusing on trying to get her jacked off, she didn't notice that Chaeyoung was making her way towards her. When she noticed her, it's when she's stopping her from aggressively trying to take off her jacket. Looking up at her, she was met with her concern yet loving and calming look, she finally breaks.

She fell into Chaeyoung's comforting arms, sobbing her heart out, shaking vigorously. Her heart broke at the sight of her and held her tight, whispering sweet things into her ear.

"It's okay, Jiji, I got you." She didn't care that she was getting tear stains on her shirt nor did she care about her crying sounds. The only thing she cared about was that she was going to be okay and that she knew that she was there.

"You're gonna be okay."

     FOR SOME REASON, JYP THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD IDEA FOR TWICE TO DO ONE-OFF SHOW IN CHINA. During the peak of Tzuyu's scandal, she was banned for activities and promotions, and now, after five months, she was back on track.

For her, it wasn't the show that she was nervous about, it was the airport. There have been so many issues and the invasion of space that made her terrified. Tzuyu was scared. So many reporters and fans wanted her dead and threw nasty comments at her.

The first person she called to tell about her scandal was Jiwoo. The older female was well aware of the situation and was by her side the most.

"You're doing it again, Zuzu."

The maknae lightly smiled while staring at the car window, "Sorry, I-I'm just nervous to see everyone again." She admitted, turning her head to look at her.

"It's gonna be okay, we're here," Jiwoo said, patting her back. She gave her a comforting smile in which she returned, but she could see how forced it was.

Tzuyu somewhat isolated herself-she tried to keep her mind focused on the performance and away from the hate and anxiety. Having the whole internet against her takes a toll on her. Sadness began to loom over her head again and she hated the feeling.

"I heard that it's gonna be a lot of fans here today," Mina interrupted her thoughts while looking at her phone.

Dahyun scoffed and turned around from her own seat in the front, "You say that every time,"

"I know but maybe this time it will be more than the last time, guys." The van fell into silence again. They all arrived at Incheon Airport and Tzuyu kept praying that there won't be any cameras or reporters bombarding her with questions.

She gulped, feeling her emotions rise up again. Jiwoo noticed and took off her mask while standing beside her.

"Tzuyu, are you okay?" Jiwoo asked, she looked up and saw that all the members staring at her, their eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine," she lied, trying to convince herself.

Nayeon's eyes softened, "Have you eaten? Did you drink any water before we went in the car?"

Tzuyu nodded, "I'm all good, Unnie, thanks." She gave two thumbs up and they smiled, expect Jiwoo.

The staff on the other side ordered the girls to move. The flashes blinded her and she instantly felt like she was suffocating. They all line up and walk together inside the airport.

Ignoring the shouts and screams, Tzuyu nervously looked around for Jiwoo, wanting to be close to her. The bodyguard stands next to each member, protecting them from any harm.

When she noticed Jiwoo walking in front of her, she walked faster and almost crashed into her. Jiwoo turned around and was met with Tzuyu's anxious face.

Jiwoo took off her scarf and put it around her neck to hide her face. The maknae held her arm as they walked to the entrance.

"TZUYU CAN GO TO HELL!"

"WHY ARE YOU EVEN IN THE GROUP!"

"YOU'RE JUST A PRETTY FACE!"

Their voices kept getting louder and louder, the flashes of the cameras became so intense, especially around her. Her bodyguard got pushed down as she and Jiwoo were surrounded by reporters, mainly asking questions for the young female.

Tzuyu hid her face in Jiwoo's arm, feeling her throat ache. As for Jiwoo, she kept walking and looked around for the others.

Don't cry, don't cry, Tzuyu

Having enough of the annoying reporters and comments were thrown around, Jiwoo finally snapped, "Oh, will you guys shut it?"

The camera flashings stopped and so did the crowd, watching the older member whose face was red with rage. Tzuyu didn't dare to look up, not when she already was a crying mess. She felt her arms around her protectively.

"Yeah, I'm talking to you, jackass!" The reporter froze as he gulped.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it! I'm sick and tired of you haters always in people's faces and throwing shit at them! Fuck off will ya?" She finished and went inside the building with her bodyguard behind her.

"Someone had to say it."

As they went inside Jihyo and Sana ran to the pair, looking at them with concern. Jihyo looked at Jiwoo, nodding her head to the maknae who was still glued to her side.

"You guys took so long we thought something bad happened." Sana softly said, hugging them.

"Don't worry, we're fine. We'll meet you guys at the terminal." Jiwoo told them, stroking Tzuyu's back.

With a nod, they went back to the others and left the two. Tzuyu pulled away from her, lowering her scarf and wiped her tears. Jiwoo's heart clenched and immediately took her into her arms.

"I'm sorry about that, Jiji," she croaked out, leaning into her chest. Jiwoo softly sighed, putting a few hair strands away from her face.

"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault, Tzuyu." Jiwoo soothed.

"I made that happen. Look, now they're mad at you too and Jiwoo I jus-" She was interrupted with a light smack on her head.

"I'm more than happy to be the center of attention by getting hate comments, idiot. I don't care, Tzuyu. Do you know how much it hurts to see you like this?"

Holding her head, she pouted at her, "I-I, okay." They looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"You have Twice and Once, and that's all that matters." Tzuyu giggled and nodded cutely, looking at her with admiration and love. She couldn't ask for a better best friend.

"Thank you for always being by my side."
