We all sat at the table and I braced myself for what was to come.

"So, Mina, I hear that you have a lot of possible academic scholarship
opportunities." Yohee said smiling.

I knew that Mina wasn't really smiling and she was faking it, but they
would never know the difference.

"Yes, I do. I'm very fortunate."

Yohee then turned to me. "And what about you Momo? How are you doing
in school?"

"Oh, um...well I suppose."

"You suppose?"

"Yes, I suppose I'm doing okay." I shrugged. "I guess you can ask Mina
though, because she's my tutor."

"Oh, that's so nice of you that you tutor your girlfriend."

"Yeah, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, and that's just how we
met is that she's been my tutor all year."

Yohee looked a little more shocked at my explanation. I think she was
expecting us to already have been together then she would help me
occasionally. Not that I was dumber than a sack of potatoes, as Mina
would so kindly put it.

 

"Wait, Mina was your tutor before you started dating?"

"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that she hated me too." I smiled.

"I did." Mina said going along.

The whole table, except for Maru, looked at us dumbfounded.

"Hi, my name is Sooyoung, and I'll be your server tonight, can I start
you out with some drinks?" The waitress said, breaking the awkward
stare, I so gladly created.

"Yes, I'll have a Shirley temple." I said smiling. She gingerly wrote it
down, then turned to Mina and everyone else.

They all ordered and snapped out of it.

 

The adults then started talking and I looked at Irene, who was sitting
across from me. She was staring, kind of glaring at me. "Can I help
you?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"I don't understand it." She said shrugging.

"Understand what?"

"I was under the impression that Mina was this well brought up, smart
girl, and you just don't seem like her type."

"Well, what do you think her type is?"

"Smart. Not so...crazy."

"You've known me for a few minutes and you've already deemed me crazy?"

That's when Maru piped up. "Momo, you are a little weird, and I can
say that as your best friend." Then he went back to drawing on his
little paper the restaurant provided.

"You're not helping!"

He looked up and shrugged, then continued his coloring. I rolled my eyes.

"Well, it's just weird to me, but I mean if you both are happy together
then who am I to say otherwise."

"Thank you." I smiled and she smiled back. It didn't touch her eyes though.

"So, are you both pretty serious though?" Jungkook asked.

"I believe so." I replied.

Mina took my hand under the table and squeezed lightly.

"Too bad." He mumbled. If I heard him, Mina definitely did.

"Have something to say Jungkook?" Mina asked.

Jungkook smirked and took a sip of his drink. "Nope."

"I thought so."

 

We all sat there silently. Then I saw Irene lean over and whisper
something to Jungkook. They laughed and I saw them look at me and laugh
again. That really gets under my skin.

"So, Momo, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Irene asked.

"Well, I'm not entirely sure. I would really like to be a beautician
though. I'm good with hair."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I cut my own."

She looked at my hair and grimaced. "Well, maybe you should explore
other things too, but then again there's only so much a person can do.
Obviously academics aren't your thing."

"I feel like you're trying to offend me."

"Really? What gave you the idea?" She smirked and I glared.

"I don't know, just the fact you're being a fat brat." I smiled
sarcastically.

The waitress came back and took our orders then left again.

"I'm not fat." She pouted.

I shrugged. "That doesn't mean that going on a run won't do you a little
good."

"Yeah, you should talk." She crossed her arms.

"Honey, I actually have a good self esteem, your little comments don't
bother me."

"That's surprising. You don't look like you would."

"Oh, like I'm so pretty that it's always the pretty girl with the low
self esteem."

"No, like you're so ugly I can't even look at you."

"Hey, let's review, who has the hot girlfriend?" I pointed at Mina and
her eyes got wide.

"Leave me out of this." She said throwing up her hands. "I'm just a
spectator."

"She probably just pities you."

"Oh, yeah, I'm sure she does as she's passionately kissing me." I rolled
my eyes. "And when she says she loves me."

Sooyoung, our waitress, set all our plates in front of us. I had
gotten pasta.

"Hoe."

"Good comeback." I said laughing.

"Hey, I'm just speaking truth. It's sad that your mom doesn't care
enough about you to instill some good values in you."

That's pushing it. "You don't even know what you're saying."

"I'm saying your mom doesn't love you. I think I do."

"Irene, you're pushing your luck." Mina said.

"What's she going to do? Jump across the table and hit me?"

"No, but I will do this." I scooped up my pasta, stood up, and slapped
it on her head.

She screamed at the top of her lungs. The whole restaurant just stopped
and stared with wide eyes. I just smiled triumphantly and I heard Mina
burst up laughing behind me.

"You little brat!"

She lunged at me, pulling my hair. I scratched her arm and kicked her.
She kicked back. I pulled her hair in return. She bit me, I bit back. It
was getting pretty bad. Then two people ripped us away from each other
and threw us out of the restaurant.

 

Mina and Irene's family came out a second later.

"Well girls, because of you two we're not allowed back at this
restaurant for a while." Yohee said looking down at us. Mina walked
over and helped me up. "Momo what do you have to say for yourself?!
That was no way for a lady to act!" Yohee yelled at me. I was about to
reply, but then she turned to Masao, "I don't want her staying here. She
has to go to her own home."

"Alright hun."

"What?!" Mina exclaimed. "No! She's not going anywhere! This is hardly
her fault. Also if you all hadn't come in the first place this wouldn't
have happened!"

"What?" Yohee said, looking hurt.

"Mina, don't."

"If you would have at least told us, I could have prepared Momo, but
we had no idea. Yeah, there's no denying Momo has a short temper, but
it's Irene's fault too. So if Momo goes, so does Irene."

"You didn't know we were coming?" Yohee asked.

"No, my dad never even told me he had a girlfriend."

She turned to Masao. "Why didn't you tell her?"

"Because I was worried she wouldn't come. She was the most attached to her
mother and I knew this would be the hardest for her. She also doesn't
take change lightly. She's sensitive. I wanted her to meet you though. I
didn't know the dinner would turn out like this."

"Don't talk like I'm not even here please." Mina said rolling her eyes.

"Let's just go home and talk about this. I think Irene needs to get
cleaned up too." Masao said.

 

We all got in separate cars and drove back to Mina's house. I was
covered in pasta too after my brawl.

Once we parked, Mina grabbed my arm and practically ran inside and up
to her room.

She slammed the door shut behind her. "I can't believe he would do this.
I can't believe he would just send you away for something that's not
your fault, but I have to ask, what is it with you and food? Do you have
to have a catfight with food all the time?"

"Not all the time, but it's preferred." I chuckled.

She gave a half smile in return. I walked over and gave her a hug. "Don't
worry. I'll be fine. It'll all be fine. So what if I have to kill Irene."

She laughed and pulled back to look at me. "You're a mess Momo."

"I know, it tends to happen a lot if you haven't noticed."

"No wonder you don't have many girls that are friends."

"Just Sana. I hate everyone else."

"Of course you do." She pecked me on the lips. "You seem to get in cat
fights every time you meet a girl."

"Like I said, it happens. I don't start it most of the time."

"The one that I thought would be the worst hasn't even happened yet."

"Which is?"

"Nayeon."

"We have fought."

"But there was no food involved, so in the definition of Momo,
it's not a cat fight."

I laughed. "How right your logic is."

She reached over and picked a piece of pasta out of my hair. "Nice." She
smiled.

I shook my hair and more noodles fell out. She laughed.

"Well, I suppose I should go take a shower."

"That might be a good idea."

She kissed me quickly and I went and got some clothes.

I walked out and into the hall bathroom. I made sure to lock the door
and I took a quick shower. I changed into sport shorts and a white tank
top. I walked out and heard something inside Mina's room.

 

"Get the heck away from me!" I heard Mina yell. "I have a girlfriend!"

I was about to stomp in there and lay Irene out, but then to my
astonishment she walked up the stairs and glared as she walked into the
bathroom that I was just in. Something's not right here.

I carefully walked over to the door and opened it. My jaw dropped at
what I saw.

I crumbled to the floor in laughter. Jungkook was coming onto my girlfriend!
He was trying to kiss Mina! I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

"Momo! What are you doing?! Help me!" Mina yelled.

"I'm sorry, this was just so unexpected I couldn't help myself."

I simply walked over and grabbed Jungkook by the collar. I ripped him off
Mina and decked him in the eye.

He fell backwards. "Fool, you dun goofed to mess with my girlfriend."
Then I couldn't help, but burst up laughing again. "I'm sorry! It's just
too funny!"

Mina got up and stood behind me. "Stop laughing." She grumbled.

I couldn't. Jungkook got up and ran out of there.

 

Mina sat on the edge of her bed and ran her hand through her hair. I
wrapped my arms around her neck and sat on her lap. I kissed her roughly
on the lips. "Don't worry, I'm here to protect you." I smiled.

She chuckled. "Hey you had the advantage. He was busy feeling me up. God,
what a creep. I swear it was you he was into."

"Well, now it's my turn since he ran out so fast." I smirked and pushed
her down, running my hands up her stomach and chest, and then I kissed
her neck.

"Yeah, now I'm feeling better after almost being ." She wrapped her
arms around me and pulled my lips onto hers.

Then she kissed down my neck, giving me a chance to breathe. "I'm glad.
That's what I'm here for."

She smiled against my skin.

"Myoui Mina! Hirai Momo!" We heard our names yelled.

"Well, ready to go get yelled at for something that's completely not our
fault?" She asked.

"Yup."

I grabbed her hand and we made our way downstairs.
