Be Mine

While still on the ground, panting like she ran around the campus, Momo lied there, thinking of Mina's words. She looked too disappointed and Momo never wanted to see that look from Mina again, espescially if she's the reason.

What's her dream? Why did Mina look so sad when she saw Momo dreamless? Why is Momo dreamless? Momo has a dream right? Momo thought to herself.

She closed her eyes and Mina's words echoed through her mind. She hated how Mina was sad because of how dreamless she was.

"But I'm not dreamless!" She screamed to no one in particular. She just wanted to let out her anger. She hates it, she hates how she became useless in front of Mina, in Mina's eyes. She hates it.

"I have a freaking dream!" She screamed again, she found that stress was actually lessening when she screamed her feelings.

She looked at the form and stared at it, hoping for a miracle to happen that words actually will fill the paper as she stares at it. She's not dreamless, she has a dream.

When Momo cooked the burnt omelet, she saw how Mina was shocked when she tasted the omelet, she loved how Mina's eyes widened when she tasted it. When Momo sang, sometimes she was out of tune but she saw how Mina was focused only on her, she saw how Mina was amazed on how she sang her heart out. When Momo wrote poems and short-stories, she witnessed how Mina read it like a real book, she was really focused and she looked beautiful while doing so, Mina smiled while she was reading the poems and stories made by Momo. When Momo composed lyrics with the help of Chaeyoung, Mina hummed a tune when she was reading lyrics while smiling. When Momo played the piano, she only knew how to play the tune of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and "Joy To The World" but nonetheless, Mina looked amused of how Momo played the piano, even though she forgot the other notes. Then at that, she suddenly sat up and wrote her dream, smiling while doing so, she remembered Mina's gummy smile.

Once she was done writing, she looked at the wall clock and it read, 4:57 pm.

I still have time, she thought to herself and stood up and ran around the building, trying to find her lecturer's office. She didn't know why running, the girls, including Mina, were watching how she ran with a smile and the paper on her hand. Then, Momo made a u-turn towards the office. Jihyo opened the door to see Momo smiling widely.

"Mina, are you there?" She asked like a kid, and her smile widened more when she saw the red-haired girl coming for her. "Mina, I know my dream!" She yelled happily and Mina smiled with her, the girls were watching their interaction.

"Even if I can't cook, I'll be a chef! Even if I can't sing well, I'll be a singer. Even if I can't write poetry and stories well, I'll be an author! Even if I can't play the instruments well, I'll become the master of instruments," she said all in one breathe, she held both of Mina's hands while her paper was hidden inside her shirt. "All of those, I'll become all of those just because of you." She said, a blush coming through both of their cheeks.

"Why?" Mina wondered, her cheeks reddened when Momo's face went nearer.

"Because, I like you, Mina." Momo confessed, her face flushing with emotions as the girls woo-hooed behind them, Momo kissed Mina on her nose, right above her mole. Mina blushed and was about to say something when Momo spoke again, "scold me later, I still have to pass this piece of paper." She flashed the paper and you can see the short answer that Momo wrote but you can't read it since she flashed it fast and rushed towards the lecturer's office.

She knocked on the door three times until the lecturer opened it. She flashed the paper in front of the lecturer and she gestured Momo to come in. While Momo was inside her office, she read the paper.

"What is the meaning of this, Ms. Hirai?" She asked Momo.

"It means what's written in that paper." Momo answered.

"It says here, I'll become anything just to put a smile on my family's faces and Myoui Mina's," she raised a brow, "are you sure that's your dream, Momo?" She asked and Momo nodded, her eyes filled with determination.

The lecturer shook her head, "okay, I'll accept this. But if you don't fulfill this dream of yours, what will be your punishment?" She asked.

Momo thought to herself and she looked into her lecturer's eyes, full of sincerity she answered, "then I'll be unhappy since I can't make them smile."

The lecturer raised her brow again, "explain."

Momo inhaled, "I mean, I love dancing but not to the point that I'll be a dancer as a dream. I know that I can become anything I want, my future is in my hands and I can change it whenever I want. My dream, at first, I never had one. But when Mina showed me the significance of having an ambition, I suddenly realised that I want to be anything. I didn't have a specific dream, but I know that I have one. And that, is my dream. To become anything I can be, just to put smiles on everyone's faces, and if I fail to do so, I'll re-do it over and over until I get what I want. I'm not going to give up, just because my dream is just that." She explained, explaining her passion and her dream with her own words.

After, the lecturer smiled and clapped her hands. "Bravo, Momo. You never failed my expectations." She complimented, "now, run along and be anything you want to be." She said and with that, Momo nodded and smiled.

"Oh, one more thing," she stopped Momo, "you have to attend different classes now because I heard you'll be a chef, a singer, a composer and other things." She joked but Momo put it in a serious way.

"Of course!" Momo answered and rushed outside with a smile on her face.

She'll be successful, the lecturer thought to herself. Momo, hwaiting! I'll wait for the results of your hardwork.
