Momo was drying her hair because she just finished showering. She sat on her bed and saw her phone screen lit up. A message from Nayeon. She opened the message.

 

Her face tensed up. The picture of Mina with this unknown guy caught her off guard. The girl looked so close yet so intimate with him. Momo found herself stressing over a picture.

 

Why does she feel like this? This is unusual for her. Her chest tightened everytime she glanced on her phone screen. Unknowingly, her grip over the phone tightened too. Her teeth clenching. Her stomach felt weird. She threw her towel on the bed and walked towards the door with her phone in her hand, slamming it open.

 

Mina in the other hand just come home with Chaeyoung sending her home. She really enjoyed her day so much. It’s so nice that she could spent some times with the younger girl. Chaeyoung was like her little sister that she never have. She was about to enter her room when Momo’s door suddenly open by force. She almost had her heart jump out.

 

Mina was about to shout at Momo for suddenly open the door like that, but cancelled as she saw Momo was glaring intensely at her. Why did she felt nervous all of sudden? Her heart beat faster as Momo walked closer towards her and leaned in. Their face were just a few inches apart.

 

“Did you have fun with him?”

 

Him?

 

Momo leaned back. She was smiling, but Mina didn’t think that it was sincere. Tch, she never sincere to be exact. Momo took a last glance at Mina then walked away, probably to the kitchen.

 

“Anyway, you got a handsome guy for yourself.” She heard Momo said before disappearing in the corner.

 

Mina furrowed her eyebrows.

 

“What’s wrong with her?”

 

She shook the thought off and retreated to her room. She better get a fresh bath.

Momo was walking back and forth in the kitchen. Oh wow, Momo never being this serious after looking at a single picture. She still wondering just who the heck is the guy beside Mina. His bang was covered the half of his face and also, there’s Mina posing in front of him. And, why the heck did Nayeon sent this picture to her?

 

Pushing the thought off her mind, Momo realised that she need to cook them dinner. Wait, should she cook for two people or for just herself? Momo thought.

 

“Nah, she must had eaten with his boyfriend already…” Using that silly thought, Momo started to cook for herself. A while later, Momo came with a packet of ramyun and filled the water in a pot. While waiting for the water to boil, she drummed her fingers on the kitchen counter. She still thinking about that.

 

Pouring the noodles and powder in the boiled water, Momo inhaled the delicious smell of her hand-made ramyun. After a while, the noodles soften and ready to eat. Momo was about to blow the steamed hot noodles before shoving it in when Mina suddenly popped up from nowhere.

 

“Eating alone?”

 

Momo was startled by the sudden voice and ended up shoving the hot noodles in , causing herself to groan at the sudden contact with her tongue.

 

“Ah, hot! Hot!”

 

Mina was panicked to see Momo who was flapping her arms around, trying to sooth her burned tongue. Mina quickly ran to the fridge and took out a bottle of cold water before pouring it into a glass. She gave the glass to the desperate Momo.

 

Momo drank the water in one shot real quick, even mina was amazed by that. Mina looked at Momo who seems to calm down by now. “A-Are you okay?” Putting the glass on the table, Momo looked up while glaring into Mina’s eyes. Mina was shivered under her intensed gaze.

 

“Do I look okay?” Momo asked sarcastically. Mina looked down as she sat on the stool, facing Momo. She was playing with her fingers nervously. “Have you eaten yet?” Momo suddenly asked make her to look up. To be honest, she didn’t eat yet. Chaeyoung sent her to home right away. Mina shook her head.

 

“Tch. He didn’t even bring you to eat.” Momo mumbled under her breath that Mina didn’t even get to catch that. “I didn’t cook anything special. You know how to cook ramyun by yourself?”

 

Mina shook her head slowly.

 

“Oh my, just what did you know?” Momo massaged her temple. Mina is so innocent. “Take mine. I will cook another for me.” Momo said then pushed her bowl of ramyun towards Mina. Mina looked up to Momo. Momo didn’t even reply her gaze as she retreated to cook another ramyun.

 

Unconciously, Mina smiled.

 

#

 

“Why you don’t eat yet?” Momo asked as she sat in front of Mina, eyeing the girl who seems like didn’t touch the ramyun yet. She put a bowl of another ramyun in front her. Picking up the chopstick, Momo tried to cool down the hot ramyun. Steam getting out from the bowl.

 

“I’m waiting for you so we can eat together.” Mina replied shyly. She didn’t even know why she felt shy all of sudden. She heard Momo sighed.

 

“You don’t need to do that though. Look, the ramyun turned cold and swelled.” Momo took Mina’s bowl and put it aside. Mina eyed Momo confusedly. “Why did you—“

 

“Cold ramyun taste no good.” Momo pushed her bowl to the center of the table. “Let’s share this.”

 

“But—“

 

“No but.” Momo put her index finger on Mina’s soft lips. Mina stopped her word in mid air as her eyes widen with Momo’s sudden action. “Eat.” Momo said.

 

Mina felt her heart beat rose up instantly. She swallowed the lump of before picking up the chopstick that Momo gave her. Her cheeks were flushing bright red. This is so unpredictable. Unknown to Mina, there was a certain person who felt the same way as her.

 

#

 

Momo couldn’t help but to keep glancing at Mina. Actually, she didn’t even notice the drastic change to Mina’s hair. Maybe because she was too preoccupied with a certain unknown guy in the picture she just received. She couldn’t help but to stare.

 

Mina felt a gaze on her and decided to look up. “W-What?” Somehow, Mina stuttered in front of Momo.

 

“You changed your hair.” Momo sais the matter of fact. Mina’s eyebrow perked up.

 

“Obviously, Miss Momo.” Mina said sarcastically. She became comfortable around Momo again. “I cut it a bit and dyed. How does it look?”

 

“It’s .” Momo said, clearly uninterest by her tone. Mina scoffed.

 

“Tch. You’re just jealous. Just get a hair cut then.”

 

“Nah, my blonde is just right. Don’t bother.” Momo replied.

 

“Truthfully, I never see you bleach your hair?” Mina asked.

 

“I said don’t bother.”

 

“Tch. You’re no fun.”

 

#

 

Momo actually was joking when she said Mina’s new hair style . It’s not at all. She just didn’t want Mina to be boastful after that. Being boastful is no good. Oh, that’s so kind of Momo. Now they had finished eating, they retreated to their room.

 

Momo slumped herself on the bed, currently scanning the same picture. It had been five minutes now. Somehow, she felt the guy in the picture familiar. Should she call Nayeon and ask the girl about the guy? Nah, Momo didn’t think so. Nayeon probably will afterward, calling her a jealous wife.

 

Now that she think about it, is she really… jealous?

 

“Agh! This is stressing me out! Better I sleep!” With that, Momo switched off the lamp and buried herself under the blanket, although it’s summer.

 

#

 

Mina closed the door behind her and leaned her back on it. Her both hand clasped to her chest, where her heart located. It’s surprisingly beating fast. Mina was afraid that her heart may jump out of her chest. Feeling frustrated, she slumped herself on the bed. (A/N: I wonder why they act commonly. Is this what we call as soulmates? XD)

 

She stared at the ceiling intensely, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. Rather than that, her mind was flashing all Momo’s ‘sweet’ gestures towards her just now. Ah, Hirai Momo. Did she even know that she just act sweetly towards Mina? Mina didn’t think that she know.

 

Though so, Mina also notice that Momo didn’t drink in the middle of night anymore. It stopped since the incident that night. The night when they fought without knowing the reason—oops, correction—without Mina knowing the reason behind it. Mina still wondered why though.

 

Mina still remembered that look in Momo’s eyes that night. The way she saw Mina in the room, the way she freaked out, and the way she threw things towards nothing. Yes, she heard that. Mina also wondered if the room was cleaned or not yet, but she didn’t want Momo to yell at her again if she enter the room.

 

There’s something that Momo trying to hide. Mina knew that there’s must be something. But judging from the way they interact with each other, Mina realised that they were not at point to share stories. She remembered that Nayeon had told her the other day that Momo will tell her by herself if she is ready.

 

Mina will wait for that day.

The next day, Momo and Mina had breakfast together. Mina said she’s going out today. Momo was eating while fidgeting with her other hand.

 

“Where are you going?” Momo asked. She saw Mina smirking at her. Oh no, this not good.

 

“Why? Are you jealous?” Mina replied, still smirking.

 

No, this is not good at all. Momo thought.

 

“Are you kidding me? I’m just asking, why you make things bigger?” Momo said. Mina almost laugh at Momo’s answer.

 

“You’re making things bigger. I just teasing you, though.” Mina replied. “I’m going out with Nayeon unnie.”

 

Momo looked up. “Nayeon unnie? Since when you are close to her?”

 

“Hello? You’re just the one who doesn’t know a thing.” Mina replied. “Anyway, I’m late. Nayeon unnie must be waiting there already.” Mina got up from her seat. She washed her own plate and walked to the entrance and wear her heels. “Bye.”

 

Momo could only frowning.

 

#

 

Mina hailed a cab and went to her destination—the café where she met Nayeon the other day. They promised to meet there at 9 am. The clock showed 8.45 am. She still had 15 minutes before meeting the older girl.

 

Just as she expected, she managed to arrive the café on time. Walking through the glass door, she found Nayeon sitting at one corner while waving her hand frantically towards Mina. She looks silly, Mina playfully thought. She went to greet her.

 

“Hi, Nayeon unnie. Sorry that I’m late.” She said as she sat in front of Nayeon. She was smiling widely and somehow sent shivers to Mina. What with that creepy look? Mina frowned.

 

Meanwhile, Nayeon was eyeing the girl with much interest. She suddenly squealed, which made Mina flinched.

 

“Omo! I only look at your picture with new hair style yesterday, and now, I really see you in flesh!” Nayeon squealed. “It’s suits you really well!”

 

“But someone said it’s .” Mina mumbled. Unfortunately, Nayeon heard that. “Who?”

 

Mina could only sigh. Witnessing Mina’s reaction, she already knew it was Momo. Ey this kid, don’t know that she could be more savage than Tzuyu.

 

“It’s Momo again, right?” Nayeon guessed. “Don’t worry, she always like that. She never say I’m pretty though it was the matter of fact.” Nayeon commented while flipping her hair, which finally made Mina chuckled lightly. Nayeon smiled.

 

“There you are, Mina’s smile. It’s easy to make you come back.” She said. Mina then bursted into laughter.

 

“What unnie? Is my smile an artist now? To make a come back like that?” Mina continued to chuckle. “Well, you married to the CEO of HR Ent, who leading the most idol in Korea here.”

 

“By the way, how’s you and Momo? Any progress?”

 

“I don’t really know. We’re talking like nothing happen before. Though I still wonder what is happening back then.” Mina replied. “But I like it this way.”

 

Nayeon nodded. Then, they started talking about random things. Nayeon suggested that they should go somewhere else. As a results, they went to the mall. Mina still remembered that Nayeon said she likes clothing from her family’s company. Well, who doesn’t? So, Mina dragged Nayeon to one of their store in the mall.

 

“Mina, you don’t really have to do this.” Nayeon said. Earlier, Mina said that she wanted to repay her kindness by letting Nayeon to choose everything she likes in the store. Nayeon was overwhelmed but also think that this is too much. But Mina insisted.

 

“Come on, unnie. Choose something. Think this as our friendship starter pack.” Mina said then giggled at her own words. What is starter pack?

 

Nayeon couldn’t help but to choose one. Mina said to the staff to pack it and soon they walked out from the store. They went to sit at one bench at the mall entrance.

 

“Oh, right! You still didn’t meet Jihyo!”

 

Mina eyed Nayeon confusedly. Jihyo?

 

“Ah, she is the other one that didn’t make it to your house the other day.” Nayeon explained. “Her family own a restaurant near here. Should we have lunch there?”

 

“I don’t mind.” Mina smiled. “I will just follow you.”

 

“Really? No returning back?”

 

Wait, this sound weird. “Yeah.”

 

“Okay! I will call everyone to have lunch together!” Nayeon exclaimed as she fished out her phone. Wait, everyone? Does this include…

 

“Is… Momo going to be there too…?

 

“Of course!”

 

Hell no. There’s no way return back.

 

#

 

“Where they hell are you?” Jeongyeon spoke over the phone. Now that everyone had gathered at Jihyo’s restaurant, the only one that missed were… Momo and Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung somehow said earlier that she couldn’t make it because some matters. They didn’t ask anymore.

 

“Yeah yeah… Oh, I see you!” Jeongyeon exclaimed. Mina saw to where she was waving. Mina saw the person that they all have been waiting for walked towards them. From the start, Momo only eyed to one girl.

 

“Come, sit here.” Jeongyeon gestured Momo to sit beside her, which is… the opposite of Mina. Mina didn’t dare to look up. She afraid that the moment she look up, she will meet Momo’s eyes. She had a feeling that Momo still glaring at her. Wait, why did she must feel nervous? Mina flinched as Nayeon touched her arm to grab her attention.

 

“Hey, relax. You are so tense.” Nayeon said. “Are you okay?”

 

Mina nodded, still staring at her own hand.

 

“If so, look up.” Mina slowly looked up. She was right. Momo was still glaring at her. Why the heck she did that?

 

“OUCH!” Momo winced. Jeongyeon just slapped her back. “Why you did that?!”

 

“I know you miss Mina so much, but don’t stare at her like that.” Jeongyeon said and made all their friends laughed. Especially Sanaa, since she likes to laugh so much. Tzuyu couldn’t even control her.

 

“Hey hey, what’s going on here? Having fun without me?” Suddenly a voice interrupted them.

 

“Jihyo-ah!” Momo exclaimed. “They’re bullying me!”

 

“What? It’s our fault now? You’re just whip to your wife!” Jeongyeon replied. “Ouch!”

 

Mina was so clueless. So, this is Jihyo that they had been said about? Wow, she’s pretty.

 

“Oh, I see. So, Momo is whipped to her wife?” Jihyo said. Suddenly, Mina felt her face redden. This is too absurd. The only thing she heard right now was Momo’s continuously “Yah!” to Jeongyeon and Jihyo. Then, Mina felt her shoulder being tapped.

 

“You’re our Momo’s wife?” Mina nodded hesitately. “I’m Park Ji—“

 

“Jisoo. Park Ji—ouch!”

 

“Shut up, Momo.” Jihyo pinched Momo’s arm. “Ignore her. I’m Park Jihyo. Nice to meet you.”

 

Mina smiled. “I’m Myoui Mina.”

 

“Wow! Nice name, pretty face.” Jihyo said made Mina blushed. Though so, she heard Momo scoffed. Mina rolled her eyes at Momo.

 

“Okay, what do you guys want to eat?”

 

#

 

They were eating and chatting when Momo suddenly received a call from her father.

 

“Excuse me for a while.” Momo said as she left the table to somewhere more quiet. “Yes?”

 

“Momo, let’s have dinner tonight.”

 

“Eh?”

 

“Come on, your okaa-san really want to meet your wife.”

 

“Why Mina?”

 

“What? You thought it just gonna be you? No way, dear. You’re married so bring your wife.”

 

“But, otou-san, I—“

 

“No but, Momo. Come at 7. We’ll be waiting here.”

 

“Otou—“

 

*tuut*

 

“Eish,” Momo sighed and returned to the table.

 

“Why?” Nayeon asked. Momo flashed a small smile. “My father called.”

 

Momo’s answer made Mina to look up. There must be something happen. If not, Momo didn’t look trouble like that.

 

However, the lunch time was over and most of them need to return to their office. Jeongyeon had a ton of works waiting so she had to go first. Tzuyu was next because she need to manage her gym. Sana has her own thing to do.

 

Before they apart, Momo pulled Mina to grab her attention. Nayeon saw that and left to give them some privacy.

 

“What?” Mina asked annoyingly.

 

“Otou-san called us for dinner. Go home early and I will fetch you before 6. Got it?”

 

“Dinner? Why so sudden?”

 

“Shut up and do what I tell you. Wear something decent.” Momo said and left Mina standing awkwardly there.

 

“She’s annoying,” Mina mumbled.

Chaeyoung was working on her painting when she heard her phone buzzed. Chaeyoung picked up the call without looking the caller ID.

 

“Yeoboseyo?”

 

“Chaeyoung-ah,”

 

Chaeyoung stopped on her track. She put down her brush and pallette. Her focus now was drowned towards the caller.

 

“Unnie...?”

 

“Yeah, it’s me.”
