Chapter 12: Protect the Penguin, or Death

In Cold Blood

After dropping Mina by the entrance, Momo parked the car at the basement carpark before making her way into the hospital.

“Better look after her properly. If anything happens to my girl, I won’t spare your pathetic @ss!” Jihyo warned the horrified peach through the phone. Despite not seeing the older girl’s face, Momo still felt a cold shiver down her spine and still see a vivid image of Jihyo clenching her fist in her face. If that fist lands on her face... it ending up ugly would be an understatement.

“Brrr…” Momo shivered in fear, recalling the phone call. “She’s such a protective mom.”

Mina had to ditch Momo because, work. And now, Momo is just wandering around the absolutely huge hospital that looked so much like a hotel, looking around for the pretty girls that Mina mentioned. Also, Momo also needed to look for the child of god, just so she can keep herself alive.

“Hey doc!” Momo randomly asked the doctor passing by. “Do you happen to know where Dr. Myoui Mina works?”

The doctor was absolutely stunned by the charismatic girl in front of her, unable to close from awe, she nodded slowly in response.

“Can you please take me there? Thank you.” Momo replied with a frown, confused by the reaction she’s getting from the doctor.

Leading the way, the doctor brought Momo to the children’s department where Mina usually does her rounds.

“She should be around the area.” The doctor said, still gasping at the attractive woman in front of her.

“Thank you, I will look around on my own from here.” Momo gave the doctor a polite nod before heading towards the corridor, the noisy corridor.

“Goodness… What’s all these horrible sound?” Momo complained to herself.

“Children.” A familiar voice is heard from behind her, and the peach was ready to throw whoever that was creeping behind her, until she turned around and realise it was Mina. She is wearing a rather stoic expression while eyeing at the peach.

Tzuyu walked up to Mina, enquiring about the girl that was facing them with a ninja-like pose. Upon seeing a certain green-haired girl, Momo could only let out a small “Wow.”

“Oh, she must be your friend. Do you mind joining us for lunch later?” Tzuyu quickly invited the girl, but she only earned a glare from her mentor. Turning her heels quickly, Mina walked off to another ward, not before shooting Momo a don’t-come-near-me look. Shrugging her shoulders, Momo looked back at Tzuyu who offered a small apology as she rushes to catch up with her mentor. Warnings from Mina to Tzuyu could be heard, as if Mina was warning Tzuyu to be wary of this playpeach.

Narrowing her eyes, Momo thought to herself satisfyingly with a slight chuckle: This hospital really have quite some beauties. I definitely need to get here again.

 

Lunchtime came by in a flash and Momo found herself at the hospital’s cafeteria. This must be heaven. Momo thought to herself, eyeing all the food available. After buying 1 of every food available, Momo turned to look for a seat when she saw a tall girl waving at her. She recognised the girl immediately, Mina’s intern. She walked towards the table and sees a girl hiding her face in her hands, embarrassed at her friend.

“Hello!” A unified greeting was heard from the group. Wow, more pretty girls. Momo thought and chose a seat next to Mina, whispering “Damn, your colleagues are hot.” That made Mina facepalm even more before opening her lunch box.

“Why don’t I have one?!” Momo asked, slightly offended by the lack of love from their supposedly shared mom, Jihyo. Mina stuck her tongue at the peach before proceeding to open her lunchbox, this time filled with beef, spinach and all sorts of iron-rich food.

Turning towards her food, Momo noticed the doctor that led her earlier, staring at her with hanging open.

“Is there something on my face?” Momo asked innocently.

“Beauty” was all she replied. Upon hearing that, Mina began coughing at the side, seemingly to have choked on her food when she heard the remark. Tzuyu on the other side, quickly patted Mina’s back while comforting and asking her to eat slowly politely.

“Hyung! What was that?!” Chaeyoung shot at the doctor with wide eyes.

“Whipped.” Nayeon casually remarked at the stunned doctor, as she finally realised what she just said.

With her hand touching both Jeongyeon’s forehead and her own, Dahyun commented “Fever, is it because of all the stress from your surgery earlier?”

Momo just stared at the said girl and replied with thanks. And she starts devouring her food; in a similar manner Jeongyeon has been doing all her life. “Soulmate, I tell you.” Jeongyeon said.

“Jeong, no.” Mina warned the older girl, which earned her a smack at the back of her head. “I will tell Jihyo unnie.” Mina said while rubbing the back her head and the look in Momo’s eyes quickly turned into fear.

Lunch was joyful, with all the polite company which Momo quickly got used to. Thereafter, Momo just sat at a close distance from Mina, just to keep her condition in check, and for her dear life too. It would be shameful to have her behind assaulted by momma Jihyo because of a minor mistake.

After lunch, all of the doctors and nurses went back to work promptly, checking out the well-being of their patients and conducting surgeries. Ah, a normal day in the hospital.

Mina was sitting down on a bench, trying to digest all the iron while finishing some of the new reports. Just then, Tzuyu strolled leisurely, with a cup of coffee in her hand. Looking at her pondering mentor, a mischievous thought crossed her mind. She decided to give her mentor a good scare from the back.

“WHAT are you reading!?” Tzuyu kind of shouted while hitting Mina hard on her shoulder, her left shoulder. A sharp pain pierced through her shoulder as she leans her left shoulder forward on reflex.

"ARGHH!"

Mina winced in pain, squeezing her eyes as Tzuyu’s face immediately turned to one filled with concern as she apologised repeatedly at her mentor, with her face showing pure agony.

“I’m sorry, are you alright?” Tzuyu asked with genuine concern in her voice, but the immense pain made Mina unable to reply the younger girl as she bit her lower lip. Oh, how much does she want to strangle that ignorant adolescent!

Momo, who witnessed the scene, immediately ran towards the two, thinking that she will definitely be in deep trouble if Jihyo ever heard about it. She could literally hear Jihyo's contemplation about her 'death sentence' in her ear, making her stomach twist with nausea.

“Sorry, lend me your mentor for a while.” Momo quickly said with anxiety, before dragging Mina away with her.
