(Momo, Sana, Mina, and Hua are talking in Japanese and then they all start laughing)

Chaeyoung: I love inside jokes. One day, I hope to be a part of one

Hua: (In Korean) We’re laughing at Tzuyu’s bangs during More and More

i changed it a little bit and i invented tzuyu’s story of why she’s afraid of water, hope you don’t mind. enjoy!

pranks were often made by jeongyeon at the dorm, the girls were all used to it after so many years of waking up to find their faces painted with marker or their clothes hanging on the tv. but she wasn’t the only mischievous one, sana and momo were always making little pranks here and there, and they made sure to have mina with them in case any of the members got mad and they had to give good excuses.

it was a lovely saturday, the sun shining brightly after the huge storm that occurred the night before. a lovely day to prank one of the members too, especially one of the maknaes. sana and momo decided tzuyu would be the perfect victim, she was sitting outside right next to the pool, reading the book chaeyoung had gifted her for her birthday. all of the girls were out with their respective families except for mina, tzuyu and the both of them.

“i think it’s a good idea” sana said. they were both standing in the kitchen, looking outside the window and trying to figure out how to begin with their new plan.

“yeah.. the weather isn’t cold so she won’t get mad, she will be more than pleased actually” momo giggled. so they made their way out and stood right beside the pool but not too close to tzuyu.

“oh no momo i think i lost my earring” sana pouted. momo followed the plan and told sana that she didn’t need to worry that they were going to find it. tzuyu heard all the commotion so she closed her book and decided to silently help too.

“thanks tzuyu-ah, it must be here somewhere” sana said as she winked at momo, the latter stood up and got right behind tzuyu while muttering excuses about going inside to see if she could find the earring. she squeezed tzuyu’s shoulders, making the younger look up.

“enjoy the water tzuyu!”

tzuyu didn’t have time to process momo’s words as she got pushed inside the pool. she started panicking, even though the water wasn’t above her waist, she felt like her legs were made of jelly. mina went to the backyard after hearing such painful screams coming from none other than their precious baby tzuyu. she felt her blood boil when she realized sana and momo were the ones that caused all of this, she was tired of their little pranks and this one had gone a little too far.

“what did you two do?!” mina screamed as she ran to the pool, entering without waiting for an answer. she grabbed tzuyu and helped her get out of the water, stroking the younger’s back as she choked on her own sobs.

“what do you mean? it was just a stupid prank” momo sounded almost mad at mina, they were always doing things like that so why was mina blaming them now?

“tzuyu is afraid of water, dumbass!” the two older girls were left speechless, watching as mina dragged tzuyu to their shared room. they could only sigh in defeat as they made their way back to the house, they felt horrible, thinking about scaring tzuyu in such a way wasn’t funny at all.

it wasn’t until late at night that they heard mina’s voice calling for them upstairs. they went up albeit hesitantly, not knowing how to apologize to their maknae after doing something so awful to her. but they were met with a calm tzuyu waiting for them on her bed, no harsh words were thrown at them like they were expecting.

“unnies, i need to talk to both of you” tzuyu said, her voice still sounding hoarse after crying so hard. they could see mina kneeling right next to tzuyu, holding her trembling hand in a reassuring way.

“tzuyu we are so sorry, we didn’t-” momo said tearfully.

“you didn’t know.. i know unnie” tzuyu sighed “i only told mina unnie.. that’s why i want to tell you why i’m so afraid of water”

sana tried to tell tzuyu she didn’t have to explain anything but the younger seemed like she needed to let that secret out of her chest in order to feel a little bit better.

“so when i was 7..” tzuyu started. mina squeezed her hand gently to let her know she was there with her and that everything was fine. “i went on this trip with my family. there was a beautiful river where we would spend the time with my little cousins. until one day, while picking rocks to show my mom, i tripped and the river started to drag me. i screamed and tried to swim but i didn’t know how to. my lungs were filled with water at that point, my parents were desperately trying to rescue me but they couldn’t. i ended up on the other side of the river unconscious and they took me to the hospital immediately. even though nothing serious happened to me, i felt so afraid at that moment that now i just can’t get in the water without panicking.

momo and sana felt horrible, hurrying to hug tzuyu as the three of them cried silently. mina looked at them fondly, she knew sana and momo weren’t trying to hurt tzuyu on purpose, but deep down she really wanted to let them know that their pranks weren’t always funny. after talking for a while they decided to make tzuyu feel better, they bought take out from their favorite taiwanese restaurant and sat on the couch to watch a movie. it took almost two hours for momo and sana to stop apologizing, tzuyu telling them that if they didn’t stop she wasn’t going to forgive them at all.
