It would have been unbelievable if anyone ever told Tzuyu that breathing on the 6th of January 2020 would be real. How can you even breathe without dying the next minute?

Well, for Tzuyu, everyone did guessed something like that would work.

Once it had clocked 8:55 AM, the exotic alarm beside Tzuyu's bed rang aloud and vibrated with so much energy that had woken the young lady up immediately. Groaning to this effect, she hissed and grabbed the alarm.

"I wonder how you reset your self",  she mumbled these words and turned off the alarm,  slantly keeping it in an awkward position as it fell backwards and losing balance, it fell to the ground. " fuck", Tzuyu groaned and sighed as she sought to drift back to sleep when her door was forced open and her kid sister and mother waltz in, singing in such a disturbing way.

"Ugh", Tzuyu growled, using both pillows to cover her ears.

"Good morning big sis!" Chantel said vibrantly and ran up to the window,  holding both silk curtains and ripping them apart, thereby welcoming the bright morning sun which kissed Tzuyu's face.

"Good morning love!" Marilyn said melodically and grabbed hold of Tzuyu's bed sheet but let go of it when it'd become clear that the owner won't let go either. "Wake up hon. We've got 1 hour to prepare from now" She said,  trying to get Tzuyu up by pulling every coverage away but failed.

She sighed.

"Tzuyu, we'd be late. Come on wake up",  Marilyn said, hands resting firmly on her ever firm waist.

"I told you guys before...... I hate my sleep being interrupted",  Tzuyu said, not revealing her face as she tossed the other way off from the window.

Silence clapped against the air as both Marilyn and her daughter looked at each other with wide smile.

" 1, 2, 3....go"

Both females raised their voices singing at the soprano level. Just in the seem kind of way Tzuyu hated. On a norms, both were partners in doing that to distract Tzuyu and make her yield to their wish.

"Ok! Ok! Fine!" Tzuyu screamed, storming out of her bed.

"So, does that mean that, you'll help us put some things in order with Sana's beeds i made?" Chantel asked, her hands together as she blinked her eyelashes rapidly.

Tzuyu looked at her irritatedly and scoffed on hearing Sana, "no"

Both looked at each other and nodded. They were about to sing when Tzuyu stopped them.

"Ok wait. Fine. Fine, I'll do whatever you want",  Tzuyu said defeated at the moment.

Marilyn and Chantel gave each other hifive.

"Ok!",  Channel begun looking straight at the dark haired who laid lazily on her bed the whole time. " First thing first, we've got a whole lot items to unbox".

"Two precisely with a lot of stuffs in it",  Marilyn said and simpered sheepishly.

"Hm!" The little girl nodded, "a packet of chocolates to decorate with Christmas flowers"

"But Christmas is over. This is just January 6th nel!" Tzuyu was gonna bust at her kid sisters list of activities.

"I know big sis but we here, still live in the spirit of December and not to forget that the Minatozaki all love flowers round about their desserts", Channel deadpanned rolling a long list of to dos.

"Mom",  Tzuyu called on her mother who without hesitation had turned to face her daughter.

"Yes darling"

"I don't think we need all of this preparations and stuff. I- I mean, since we're going over, they are the one to worry about this whole thing. Ours is to prepare and go"

"JUST LIKE THAT!" Both her mother and sister chorused in unison.

"Well.....yeah" Tzuyu said unsure of their reaction.

"Chantel slapped her face because it's so ridiculous of us to keep responsibilities in the hands of other people. We've never been lazy,  people have always counted on us for help so why now?" Marilyn said and  picked a box.

Tzuyu sighed.

"Well, you know what, I'll deal with this while you two go deal with the other",  Marilyn said glancing at the wall clock, " we've got less than 30 minutes to go".

Tzuyu sighed again.

Once their mother was out of sight, Chantel brought down the heavy box from the table and picking up a scissors, she cut out the straps and began to unveil the items. The dark haired lady just stared at her kid sister, motionlessly. Chantel turned to look at Tzuyu.

"Come on help!"

Tzuyu groaned,  "alright fine!".

Gregor emptied his car as he'd decided to address his car by himself. His workers tried to convince him for a good job but with the happiness and joys of going to stay with another family who were precious to him, served him the guts to do the most dirty and lowest jobs all by himself. The retired CEO of the Chou's Clothing Line. Worse it, he'd lit up the whole place with rock songs that played from his car. His big tummy bare, short knickers, old and worn out boots were his attire. Though he looked so funny, he danced about the exotic car of his while he cleaned up.

"And i said to myself.... What a wonderful world!" He sang with a song which was on play but soon got interrupted.

"Sir, sorry for disturbing but Mr Alexander is here to see Miss Tzuyu",  the voice was from one of the guards who'd stood by to help Gregor, just in case he'd gone tired.

Sighing,  he signalled for Alexander to get a pass in. Afterwards, he continued in his motion until Alexander had made an appearance. He wasn't surprised to see his ex boss dressed like that and doing a manual job.

"Good day sir",  Alexander greeted.

"Welcome Alex! Long time no see"

"Long time no chat",  Alexander added.

"Right. Happy new year" Gregor greeted as he nodded his head to the new song on play 'Woke The Fuck Up by Jon Bellion'.

"Thank you so much sir",  Alex bowed in appreciation.

"So why are you here gentleman?" Gregor asked swiveling his hands over the edge of the car right window,  exactly where he stood.

"Well, sir. I got assigned by miss Tzuyu to get the collective sheets and bring it here unfailingly today. So, that's why I'm here",  Alexander said.

Gregor hummed and shook his head.

"What's wrong sir?" Alexander inquired.

"You'll have to come back some other time buddy. Tzuyu's gonna be out for a whole month vacay.......I... I thought she related it to you guys"

"Of course she did, sir".

"And that vacation started today.

"Oh!"

"Yup. So you'd keep that to yourself until she's back. That's the only option left"

Alexander Jones had just a brief final talk with Gregor about his daily indulgences and what he was into while resting at home. Nonetheless,  he left the compound and immediately he'd gotten into his car, he called Tzuyu and related the whole ordeal to her. Tzuyu was disappointed to the extreme. She ordered he'd return but Alex was already half way home and explained it.

Tzuyu hung up the call and went to her father,  she tried telling him how much of importance the documents was to the company.

Being himself certain,  the young lively looking man told his daughter not to bother, he reassured her that Alex would take good care of the collections while she was away.

Growling, she went inside the house, slamming the door right behind her, aggressively.

While the Minatozaki's prepared with so much gladness and expectancy, Sana spent the rest of the day in her room dressing up, making calls, laughing out loud at her conversations with her friends and chatting endlessly.

Gladys tried knocking at her daughter's door to let her join in their work but all kind of sound she made fell on deaf ears. To worse it all, Sana had bought an high intensive headset which hadn't been used for weeks and so, she decided to use it. The woman's pleads had graduated to nagging and yelling. The rest had heard her yell and pulled her out of the door.

Getting to the living room, they received a call from the delivery agent that their goods were outside and already offloaded. Without hesitation, they ran out only to see a mountain of ordered goods.

"Arrr, this is more than i had expected",  Rosemary said.

"Me too!" Alice, Galvin and Bj responded in unison.

Gladys mouth were left agape as they only had few minutes left before the Chou's arrival and there they were stuck up to a piled up of goods worth a thousand count. Reyrox slapped his face. "Alice, how many minutes do we have left?", he asked his daughter.

Alice quickly looked at her wrist watch "ten minutes"

"WHAT!?", they all chorused and began to pack the goods in as fast as they could.

Twenty minutes later the Chou's arrived. The family all exchanged pleasantries except for Tzuyu and Sana who kept the distance from each other.
