Be Mine

Momo was smiling ear to ear while they were eating inside Jihyo's restaurant. Momo had dragged Mina here, because she says that jokbal here is good, espescially when Momo cooks it. Mina just agreed and ate with Momo.

Silently, the two had stolen glances from each other, unbeknownst to them, Jihyo had been watching how the two interacted. She knew why they were like this, but she doesn't know that Mina applied as Momo's secretary, that's why they're together right now.

As Momo was still eating, Mina had her phone out, texting Bambam that their dinner will be tonight and Mina had smiled to herself when Bambam responded quickly and said that she'll pick Mina up. Momo didn't know this so she spoke.

"Mina, come with me to Eve's Garden tonight." Momo said, she practically told Mina to tag along with her. Eve's Garden is a popular spot for couples because of its romantic views and sceneries.

Mina frowned, "I'm afraid I can't. I already made plans." She said. No matter how much she wished to go with Momo, she just couldn't tell Bambam that their dinner is cancelled. She still had manners.

Momo frowned, the proposal can wait, right? She thought and smiled weakly to Mina. "Oh that's fine, we'll go there next time then." She said before biting her share of jokbal.

Mina was curious why Momo had invited her there. Mina knows that Eve's Garden is a popular spot for millenials because of how photogenic the place is. She thought that Momo just wanted to go there to, she doesn't know, maybe write lyrics or capture some photos or something.

"I'm sorry." Mina had apologized but Momo just smiled, "no, no, there's always next time." Momo said and Mina just nodded before smiling.

Mina was sitting on an elegant chair that best matched with her special looks. She elegantly ate steak with a fork and a knife. In front of her was Bambam, who had the same food as hers but he ate his carefully, as if he didn't want to do something that would anger Mina.

They didn't know that inside the restaurant, just a few tables away from them was where Momo and Sana sat. Momo followed Mina, along with Sana who enjoyed tailing Mina. Momo was fuming that Mina had to refuse her offer just to see Bambam. She gripped the knife tightly that she could throw it towards the guy but Sana stopped her. They wouldn't want to cause a scene here. It's better if they do it somewhere without anyone seeing them.

Mina was smiling, "why'd you invite me to dinner?" She asked, already tired of the silence.

Bambam scratched his eyebrow, "uh, to apologize." He mentioned and hung his head low. Inside his vest was two velvet boxes, with a necklace and a ring, just the same what he had bought. "I, uh, am truly sorry for what I did back years ago. Momo had taught me a lesson after that meeting." Bambam confessed and gulped.

He revealed the velvet box and gave it to Mina, who gasped. He opened it and revealed the silver necklace that had a diamond moon and sun pendant. It was a couple necklace that Bambam bought but not for the two of them. "I bought this couple necklace for the two of you. As an apology, please accept it." He explained, and gave the box to Mina who whole-heartedly accepted it. She was overwhelmed by Bambam's action. He had bought an expensive couple necklace just for the two, that won't even benefit him.

"And, uh, this," Bambam added and revealed the other box and gave it to Mina. She opened it slowly and revealed a golden ring that had three diamonds placed on top and inside the ring were characters engraved, あなたのための私の愛を覚え. Again, Bambam had bought this not for him.

"Give this to Momo and propose, if you want. I really am sorry to the point that I'll do everything to have the two of you end up together." He confessed again and Mina was surprised.

"Bambam, I—"

"You don't have to say anything, please, accept these and give it to Momo. I'll be more forgiven if you do. Not that I'm forcing you, it's up to you. Really."

Mina smiled.

"I know that the two of you aren't in any relationship but I wish that both of you would live as a happy family in the future." He said and stood up, before bowing.

Mina also stood up and pulled Bambam to a hug, he tapped his back and whispered 'thank you' before Bambam and Mina exited the restaurant.

Momo had witnessed their interaction and tears were already spilling. Sana was comforting her but only to fail.
