Chapter 5

My Familiar Stranger

Mina and Sana watched Momo devour her plate filled with Rose pasta that Mina cooked Sana then scooted closer to Mina and whispered

"I never knew Momo can eat like a pig"

Mina nodded slowly as they continued to watch their friend slurping on the noodle with a cheeky smile

"She looks so fit, I expected her to eat less"

"How much has she eaten already?"

Mina glanced at the bowl of noodles then back to Sana

"This is her fifth serving already"

Sana's eyes were wide open then drank her glass of water slowly

"And then we ate like only 1 and I feel fat already"

Momo then finished her plate and looked at the two

"S-sorry, it’s been a while since I ate something this good" she blushed then pouted cutely

Sana whispered again to Mina 

"She's older than us, right?"

Mina nodded slowly then gave Momo a napkin

"You have a stain here" she then pointed at Momo's lower lip then Momo reached out for the napkin

"Oh! Thank you Minaring" she gently wiped the sauce and then bowed to the two

"Thank you for treating me well" she said in Japanese

"Oh yeah, we're all Japanese"

Mina said then she smiled

"It feels so much like home, right?"

"Yeah..." Mina and Sana spent 5 years in a foreign country, she thought she could never survive in a week by her own, and the fact that her Korean was still rusty that time made it worse. It’s a good thing she met Sana the day she set foot in Korea.

"I forgot to ask, how the heck did you two become roommates in the first place?"

"I uh, honestly can't remember" Sana laughed which made Mina look at Momo in such an apologetic expression on her face. Momo then giggled as she finishes cleaning herself

"Remember that night we met?" She stood up, then brought her plate to the sink

"I also met Sana that same night, the only difference is, she was drunk"

"Sana? Drunk?! " Sana's best friend was in awe, the great Minatozaki got drunk for the first time

"Meh, it was a Saturday, free drinks geez how could I say no to all the drinks the bartender was giving me" she winked to her two friends

"I thought you went home early that night to hear about the tea I had"

'Well, like I said. Saturday.Drinks. For free. Girls everywhere"

Mina nodded then sighed

"I know I know, so you went back there, on a Saturday, getting drunk and blah blah blah get to the story"

"Momo, please, the details. Cause really everything was a blur for me"

Momo nodded then leaned her back to the counter

~

God it’s so cold tonight

Momo was back at the swing, thinking where the hell she'll sleep as she can't afford to stay at a hotel for the night. She was thinking why not at this park? But then she thought that she'll get kicked out by some police or might get harmed.

Why didn't I think thoroughly before I went here, pabo Momo

She continued to shiver on the swing set, trying her best to think for a better solution to her chilly problem. After a few minutes she heard someone groaning, it caught her attention and stood up from her seat.

"Who's there?"

The sounds of footsteps is now closer, and the sound of tripping too

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeey! Helloooooooooooooo"

A drunk lady?

Momo looked around before walking closer to the drunk.

"Excuse me miss, are you all alone?"

The lady raised her head then poked Momo's nose

"Peek-a-booooooo"

Momo's eyes widen as she saw the her face

I can't believe this..

The drunk squinted her eyes on Momo then cupped her cheek

"Saaaaaaaaaay, you look really pretty for a stranger, and you smell good too! "

"U-umm.."

"Shhhhhhhhhh, don't say anything my dear *hiccup* princess, wanna come with me back home and *hiccup* I don't know, be my roommate?"

That was quick

"I-I uh.."

"Ohhhh where are my manners" she then wrapped her arms around Momo's neck

TOO CLOSE

"My nameeeee is Saaanaaaaaa"

"Hello Saaanaaaaa… I should really take you home right now"

“Ohhhhhhhhh we already escalated that quickly huuuh?”

NO

“Now Sana, I need you to point out where your house is, okay?”

“Oh you stranger, of course I’ll guide you cause I’m your *hiccup* guardian angel”

Momo had a choice, leave Sana on a bench and let them freeze to death at the park not experiencing this mushy flirting or help her get home and maybe she’ll let her stay for a while at her place, experiencing every bit of the mushy flirting thingy Sana has to offer

 I can’t leave her alone, we'll freeze to death,and she's my friend

Momo slowly carried Sana on her back, waiting for the drunk to give her directions.

"So where to?"

"Hmmmm...thereeeeeeeeee" and then they went out of the park and Momo knows well that they will have a rough night before reaching their destination cause Sana was being so silly and sometimes fooling Momo with the directions

But even if this drunkard was giving Momo quite a hard time, she smiled. She felt the nostalgia through the night.

You're quite a pain. But its nice seeing you here, Satang

~

"On behalf of Sana's clumsiness. I apologize"Mina gently bowed her head  to Momo and Sana also bowed her head

"I'M SO SORRY MOMORING"

Momo smiled, seeing the two be this polite to her warms her heart

"Hey guys no need to apologize, it's okay"

"But, wasn't Sana heavy?"

"Yah. Myoui"

Mina snickered then looked at Sana with such an innocent face

"Yes?"

"You calling me fat?"

"No. But did you know that your thighs are so damn heavy"

"Oho, you've been observing them oftenly?" 

"You wish. Its just that you kept placing your thighs on my lap whenever we hang out. Soon enough I won't get up because of your damn thighs"

The two kept bantering as Momo finished washing her plate

"Hey, can I ask you two a question also?" 

"Shoot" Sana placed her elbows on the table

"What is it Momoring?"

"Are you two, well, dating?"

Just gonna make sure she's single

Momo gulped then looked at the two younger Japanese

"Ew, me and Sana? Together?!" Mina acted like she was about to vomit and Sana slowly creeped towards Mina and pretended to kiss her

"Come here, my dear girlfriend,lemme give you a kiss, mwah mwah mwah"

"Stay. Back"

Momo stood there by the sink, watching the two. Confused if they are or not together

I guess she's already taken here..

She frowned. But then Mina went to Momo and hid behind her.

"And to answer your question, no, me and Sana are not a couple, and we'll NEVER be a couple"

YES!

Mina the stick her tongue out to Sana which the latter took like a bullet and dramatically fell on the floor

"Oh Myoui, why must you be this mean to me?" she then played dead like a well trained dog. Momo applauded and amusement was written all over her face

"Is that an act you two practice often?" Momo looked innocently at Mina which made her heart melt and her tummy flutter

"H-huh? N-no, you see Sana aims to be an actress someday"

Sana then stood up from her place and went back to the sofa

"Hmm yeah but thats just a dream"

"But you've been in that drama club in your university for like 2 years now"

Momo then glanced at Sana

Interesting.. She can act then

"Hey why not reach your dream, Satang?"

Sana tilted her head to Momo's direction

Oh no..

"I- I'm sorry I called you like that-"

"NO NO, ITS ALRIGHT I LIKE IT"

"You do?" Mina now stood beside Momo, a couple of inches away from her so that her heart would calm down

Sana nodded furiously then giggled like a 5 year old receiving candy

"Yeah! I was jealous because you two have nicknames and I don't!"

Mina and Momo looked at each other and shared a warm smile to each other. Sana puffed her cheeks then threw a pillow to the both of them

"YOU'RE DOING THE GOO GOO EYES ON EACH OTHER AGAIN!" Sana crossed her arms then glared like a snake glaring at its enemy

"Sorry, we um, didn't know our stares were doing the "goo goo " thingy" Mina laughed and so did the eldest

"She's right, c'mon Satang, we were just smiling at each other"

"And staring at each other like ya'll are inlove and all that goo goo stuff" Sana wiggled her eyebrows to Mina, she replied with a pillow flying towards her bestfriend

"Its getting pretty late" Sana glanced at the window and the two followed

"Oh right, you going out clubbin tonight?"

"Pass"

Mina stared at her bestfriend in disbelief

"You're starting to creep me out, Satang" she then scratched her head

"Hmmm, like I said Mina, I've changed" she winked then giggled

"Besides, its Monday"

"What about Mondays?"

Momo went to the living room to get the remote for the AC, she was shivering already and raised the temperature, enough for here to feel toasty while listening to Sana and Mina.

"Just ya know, its Monday, not much pretty girls out tonight cause work and stuff"

"Sana, the club you go to is a club filled with girls, its impossible that you won't see pretty girls there even on a Monday"

"Yeah but not my taste"

"Every girl fits your taste Sana"

Sana  then glared at Mina. Why can't the youngest believe in Sana's words? She just couldn't believe that Sana is not going to hang out tonight. Mina has known Sana for so long now, she knows that her bestfriend is hiding something from her.

Hmmm.. Could it be?

"Or is it because of a certain bar tender?"

Sana's eyes were about to explode. She quickly tried to hide it, but unfortunately, it was too late for the club girl to hide it

"Am I correct?"

"N-No, of course not! You know well I don't want any commitments"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention"

Mina and Sana looked at Momo 

"Sana was mumbling someone's name when we entered her apartment"

Mina grinned then has this mischievous expression as she slowly glanced at the nervous Sana

"Care to spill the name Momoring?" 

Momo looked at Sana, she could see Sana silently begging her not to mention the name, even if Sana doesn't remember saying it, she knows that the name she said is the same name thats on her thoughts right now

'U-um.. I don' think I should though-"

"Please Momoring?" Mina pleaded like a child. How can Momo say no

, not the puppy eyes

Momo frowned at Sana and uttered a silent "Sorry" to her friend then faced Mina

"The name  was Tzuyu"
