Chapter 6

My Familiar Stranger

"The name was Tzuyu"

Mina then looked at Sana who was burning up. Seeing Sana so flustered was a surprise to her. Sana is a flirt yes, but she never had like a deep attraction or liking to someone to the point of her bestfriend being this beet red.

"So you like Chou Tzuyu?" Mina giggles then patted Momo's shoulder as a thanks for telling her

"Y-you know her?"

"Yeah she's quite famous at our school" Sana face beams with wonder. Maybe she'll get more information about the bartender

"She studies there?!" Mina slowly shook her head

"She's really famous because of her beauty, thats why boys and most girls go to the bar you always hang out at, and I heard that many people like her,so they try to swoon her"

"Oh..." Sana then looked down and Momo rubbed her palm on her back

"But" Mina then flicked Sana's forehead and earned a whine from the flirty Japanese

"Ouch"

"But, no one succeeded,yet. I heard that Tzuyu girl is quite cold, so she rejects all of them" A ray of sunshine suddenly can be seen through Sana's eyes

"I still have a chance!" She stood up then pinched Mina's cheeks

"Didn't you hear what I just said? She rejects everyone"

"No one can stop the flirty Minatozaki Thank you Minaring~ Now I know that she's still single!"

"I wish you luck Satang, if you need tips in flirting, I can give you some" Momo gave Sana a thumbs up then smiled like a kid

"Oho, so you know how to flirt, Momoring?" Momo nodded. All Sana could think of is how is Momo's way of flirting. Maybe it’s like a preschool kid who offers food then tell them I'm gonna marry you in 10 years!

Sana grinned while looking at her best friend

"Well, prove it. Flirt with my best friend, Myoui Mina" Sana is back with the shipping of Momo and Mina now that she's out of the hot seat. Mina wanted to strangle Sana right now but she was also waiting for Momo's response

Why am I even waiting for her answer...  

Momo only hummed and stared at the floor. Meanwhile, Mina was thinking about where to bury Sana's body where no one else could find it and she could live on with her life free from embarrassment.

 "I should walk Mina home" the eldest finally spoke.

Not the answer that Mina was looking for, but walking alone with Momo again sounds nice.

"You'll might get lost, Momoring" Mina giggled

"I think I know how to go home by myself now. Besides, if I ever get lost I'll text Sana right awa-"

"My goodness look at the time!" Sana stood up then pushed the other away from the sink. Both were grunting on how much force Sana's hands had as she kept pushing them until their faces were sticking on the front door.

"You two better go out now I need my beauty sleep! Momoring take Mina home now, you have the spare keys anyway, oh and don't text me when you get lost okay?"

"But-"

"IF you get lost make sure to stay at Mina's house for the night I'm sure you don't mind, right Mina?"

Mina's eyes widened

That's it, I'll ready my shovel for this girl

"Hey I didn't agree on such thing-"

"OKAY GOODNIGHT!" Sana slammed the door when Mina was about to wrap her hands on her best friend’s neck

Tsk, I'll get her next time

-

"You sure you're not gonna get lost on the way back?" Mina and Momo head over to the nearby convenience store so that Momo can eat again. Mina overheard the older girl's stomach grumble loudly so she insisted that they eat

"I promise!" Momo finished her food and watched Mina finishing hers as well.

"Hey Mina"

"Hmmm?" Mina crumbled the wrapper of her snack then threw it at the trash bin. Momo was looking out the window and stared at the night sky

"Do you like stars?"

Mina kept on staring at Momo's face, seeing the same seriousness like the day she met her at the park

"Yes I do, I remember when I was a kid I asked my parents to buy a telescope for me"

Momo smiled then stood up, cleaning the wrappers on the table before looking at Mina

"Did you ever wished to be an Astronomer?” Mina could only stay silent. Lately Momo’s been asking questions to her, she can answer them but for some reason this curious side of Momo makes her feel relaxed. Usually when others keep asking Mina questions she just stays silent and never answers.

“Hmmm.. Well, I did when I was young” They both walked out and inhaled the cold breeze Mina pretended that she wasn’t cold and just kept her hand in her pockets.

“Well, why didn’t you pursue it?” She slowly took her jacket off and wrapped it around Mina’s shoulders.

“Hey..You didn’t have to”

“I want to”

Mina bowed slightly and held the jacket tightly

"It was really just a fantasy of mine. Pursing my ballerina dream is what I really wanted ever since my feet could move freely to the beat. I knew that it was my destiny" Momo smiled at how Mina glowed with passion. It was so admirable and wholesome to see her talking about what she loves to do. S

he saw how Mina kept sniffing her jacket and this gave her an idea

"You can keep that if you want" Mina blushed but immediately shook her head

"No no, I’ll return it to you"

After a few minutes of walking they finally reached Mina's place  

"Well, this it"

"I had a great night with you, Minaring"

 "Me too" Mina smiled then twiddled with her fingers

"Before you go,can I also ask you a question Momoring?" The latter nodded and waited for the question

"Why do you always look up to the stars and do the thing with your hand?"

"What thing?" Momo is quite the slowpoke so Mina immitated how Momo aligns her fingers with the stars. Momo just stared at Mina. Her heart raced so much and her palms started shaking. Tears were forming already but she did her best to prevent it from falling

"This" Mina smiled bashfuly then brought her hand down and in the jacket

"It..it was a mannerism of someone special to me" Mina notice the change of mood on Momo, so she hugged her gently and Momo accepted it

"Thank you" she smiled softly then kissed Mina's forehead

Mina swore that she saw stars and was about to faint until Momo slowly backed away

"I'll see you some other time  ,Minaring. And,please keep my jacket" Mina then went inside of her apartment and inhaled the scent of Momo’s jacket

She smells like peaches..

|Drunk flirt|

MM: Hey Sana, I'm on my way home

 

Drunkflirt: WHAT?! WHY?!

 

MM: Duh cause I want to sleep

Drunkflirt: NO! STAY AT MINA’S HOUSE! D:<

MM: You crazy?

Drunkflirt: No. I’m Sana.

MM: Whatever, I’m almost home

Momo slid her hands inside her pockets and made sure to walk faster as she was already shivering from the cold breeze. She reached outside their building and was about to enter, until her phone buzzed loudly

Dang it Sana

But it wasn’t Sana 

Thomas is calling. . . 

Momo smiled then answered the call

“JIHYO!”

“You don’t have to scream, I can hear you loud and clear with you normal voice already”

Momo couldn’t contain her excitement and sat at the nearby bench. It’ll take her an hour or more there just talking to her friend

“Gosh I miss you already”

“Geez Moguri it hasn’t been that long”

“Well to me it does.. wait”

“Hmmm?”

“How are you able to contact me?”

“I’m a genius, what do you expect? I also designed your phone so we can communicate even if we are worlds apart from each other”

“You don’t have to rub it on my face, Thomas”

“I missed you too Moguri” Jihyo laughed on the other side of the call

“So, how’s project Cygnus?”

Momo stared at her watch that was shimering

"Oh, this watch is called Cygnus?"

"Yes, I thought I told you that, Moguri"

"When?"

"When you came into my lab,crying like kid"

"Ohhh, I always called it The Watch"

"The Watch?.."

"Yes, I mean it looks like one, but I can't even tell the time on it, its just filled with some galaxy thingy"

"Those are constellations,Moguri, and yes I designed it that way. And, of course, it doesn't tell time cause its not.a.watch"

Well, Momo did find it odd when Jihyo gave it to her.

"Fine fine, but yeah it worked amazingly"

"Whew, good, I thought you exploded or maybe some parts of your body went to other-"

"YOU MEAN THIS WAS A GOD DAMN PROTOTYPE AND YOU LET ME USE IT!?"

"Hey, at least you're alive,plus you were sooooo desperate" Momo massaged her temple and sighed

"I swear I could kill you right now"

"You can't dumb dumb, I am your bridge to see Mina again"  

She has a point

"By the way, did you find her?"

Momo's thoughts flashbacked to that night she met Mina at the park. How she felt delighted to see her face again and how her world turned upside down. Especially the butterflies were so wild in her stomach that night.

"Earth to Hirai"

"Huh? O-oh yes.. I already met her"

"How long did it took you to find her?"

"Um..more like she found me"

"That quick? Wow I guess you two are kinda fated"

"Yeah..kinda" Momo sighed as she fiddled with the Cygnus

"But hey at least you found her"

“And she's great, Jihyo..She’s really amazing here too”

“Already in love huh?”

“Of course I am, she’s still Mina”

“Perhaps,but remember Momo”

"What?"

"She's not our Mina"
