Momo's POV
Yet another week of university has passed. I still haven't heard from Joy. She's been absent for a while now. I heard she's coming back soon though.
Right now I'm sitting on the couch beside Dahyun. We're watching IZ*ONE Chu.
(A/N: Do any of y'all watch IZ*ONE Chu?")
I was enjoying the show when Dahyun's phone rang.
"Jagiya~" Dahyun said in a cute tone. Who is she talking to? I clenched my fists and continued to pretend to watch the show.
"Aniya~ I miss youuuuuu." Dahyun said with aegyo.
After 10 minutes, she finally hung up the damn phone.
"Who was that?" I asked coldly. Dahyun raised her brows.
"Sana Chan." She said with a smile. Sana Chan? Since when were they close? Oh right. Since last week. I sighed.
"Why are you calling her Jagiya?"
"Why do you care?" Dahyun asked with crossed arms.
"I asked you first." I replied simply. Dahyun huffed in annoyance and continued to watch the show.
I reached over impatiently and turned off the TV.
"Yah!" She glared at me.
"Are you two dating?" I asked her seriously. Dahyun stared at me for a solid minute before getting up and walking back to her room. I sighed. Why do I even care anyways?
Dahyun's POV
"Jagiya~" I grinned. Sana giggled on the other line.
"I miss you." Sana said with aegyo. I couldn't help but smile. I also couldn't help but notice Momo's glare, searing into the back of my skull.
"Are you not going to say it back? Do you not miss me?" I could practically see Sana pouting while saying that.
"Aniya~ I miss youuuuuuuu."
We continued to chat for around ten minutes.
"Alright. I have to go eat dinner now. Annyeong Jagi, muah~" Sana said in a cute tone.
"Annyeong~"
I hung up the phone and looked up. I almost forgot that I was watching TV. I redirected my attention to the show, only to be quickly interrupted.
"Why are you calling her Jagiya?" Momo asked impatiently.
"Why do you care?"
"I asked you first." She retorted. I scoffed and continued to watch IZ*ONE CHU.
Momo reached over with annoyance and turned off the TV.
"Yah!" I glared.
"Are you two dating?" Momo asked again. I stared at her blankly, trying to examine her behaviour. Why is she acting like she cares? She kissed another girl in front of me. Why is it not okay for me to call Sana Jagi?
As soon as I remembered what happened that night at the bar, my blood started to boil once again. I got up angrily and stormed into my room before slamming that door.
My knees felt week as I melted against the door. My tears started to trickle down once again. I pulled out my phone to call Sana.
"Sana Chan~ *sniff sniff* can you *sniff* come over?"
Momo's POV
I turned on the TV again and continued to watch the show. I laughed at every joke, even when it was not funny at all.
Don't think about her. Don't think about her. Don't think about her.
DO NOT THINK ABOUT HER.
"God dammit!!!" I yelled in annoyance before picking up a pillow from the couch and throwing it onto the floor.
"Yah! That was 500,000 won. (450 usd)" I heard a voice behind me complain.
"Sorry Irene. I'm just— bad day..." I mumbled.
Irene nodded in understanding and proceeded to sit beside me. She wrapped her arm around my waist and laid her head on my shoulder.
I froze in shock and turned towards her, only to see her staring straight at the TV. I sighed and continued to watch the show.
Not long after, I heard the door swing open.
Sana walked in, holding a black hoodie and a box of chocolates.
Is that for... Dahyun?
My eyebrows furrowed almost instantly at that thought.
Sana walked right past us, completely ignoring my existence. Excuse me?
"Sana Minatozaki." I said in a stern voice. She stopped walking and turned around to face us.
"Why do you keep hurting her?" Sana asked coldly. I looked at her innocently. Hurt her? What is she talking about? She rolled her eyes and pointed to my side. I then noticed our position. Irene had one leg over mine, and her head buried into the crook of my neck while surrounding me in a tight embrace.
"It's not what it looks like. I was—"
"I don't care. I'm not the one you hurt." Sana said before turning back around and walking into Dahyun's room.
I bit my lip guiltily. I hurt her again. But Irene didn't come until AFTER Dahyun left. Aish.
Dahyun deserves someone like Sana. I'm a mess. She's too good for me.
I removed Irene's arm off me harshly.
"Momo, I—"
"Goodnight. I'm tired." I cut her off and proceeded to head back to my room.
4 hours later...
I tossed and turned in my bed, completely unable to sleep. It's now 2 in the morning, AND we have an exam tomorrow. I've even started to count sheep.
I finally heard the sound of our front door closing. At last, Sana has left.
I can finally sleep in peace, knowing that they're not together.
<TIME SKIP>
I opened the door of our classroom while panting hard.
I slept past my alarm because I slept at 3am. And Irene, who usually wakes me up when I'm late, didn't do that this morning. Perhaps I had hurt her feelings last night. Aish. Jinjia.
I apologized to the professor before scanning the room. My usual seat, which was beside Irene, is taken by this narcissistic asshole.
I rolled my eyes and continued scanning.
My gaze eventually landed upon the only seat left in the classroom, beside Dahyun. Fuck my life.
I walked over and sat down with hesitation.
Dahyun kept listening to the professor intently, pretending that I was not even there. Tf? I'm the one who ignores people.
I tapped her on the shoulder lightly. She faced me and stared at me with a poker face.
"Where's Sana?" I whispered. That's the only conversation starter I could think of.
Dahyun signalled me to turn my head with her eyes. I turned to see Tzuyu, staring into empty space blankly. Her eyes were swollen and red. I nodded my head in understanding. Dahyun flashed me a weak smile before continuing to listen to class.
Sana's POV
(Earlier in the morning...)
I knocked on Dahyun's door.
Irene opened it and stared at me coldly.
"Where's Dahyun?" I asked. Irene rolled her eyes and left, leaving the door open with me standing there stupidly.
Okay. Rude.
I walked into the dorm to see Dahyun sitting on the couch, casually scrolling through her phone.
She looked so cute. Not as cute as Tzuyu though— wait what.
No. No. No. I did not just think that. Tzuyu is so— just so, uncute. The most uncute thing ever. Yeah. Exactly.
"Staring is rude." Dahyun said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I smiled at her and we walked out of the dorm together.
"I'm just going to use the washroom real quick." Dahyun said. I nodded. She headed into the girls washroom beside our classroom and I stood outside, waiting for her.
"Hey... Sana."
I froze as I heard that soft voice.
The gentle melody to my ears... THAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FREAKING AVOID!!!
I could feel my tears threatening to come out again.
My heart raced as my eyes landed on her exposed stomach. I felt my throat dry as I swallowed the lump forcefully.
How can this girl make me feel so many emotions at once?
Anger. Sadness. Infatuation. Lust.
I wanted to punch her, for making me feel this way. But I never want I see her get hurt either. The feeling is indescribable. She can hurt me as bad as she wants to, but I'll protect her forever. I'll watch as she finds her happiness, as my own heart shatters in front of me. Will I ever fall for someone else again? Or will I be stuck with my star crossed fate with her?
"That day... what you saw..." Tzuyu fidgeted with her fingers nervously. I clenched my fists as I remembered that day. Why is she reminding me again?
"I wasn't sure about my feelings for you... so I—"
"So you what? Kissed another guy to test out your feelings? CHOU TZUYU!!!" I pushed her up against the wall. Tears finally spilt out of my eyes.
"I have feelings too!!! Didn't you think that that would hurt me!? You selfish, mean, stupid, dumb, pretty, beautiful, cute—" I continued to punch her shoulders until she cut me off by hugging me tight. I sobbed into the crook of her neck.
I felt Tzuyu being pushed off me, and I looked up to see a fuming Dahyun.
"Stay away from her!!! You fucking made her cry again. She doesn't deserve this. She doesn't deserve YOU. Do us all a favour and LEAVE HER ALONE." Dahyun shouted. Tzuyu bit her lip guiltily and tears trickled down her beautiful face.
"I'm sorry Sana..." Tzuyu said sadly before walking into the classroom.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry that I left you." Dahyun said as she hugged me tight. I was speechless. I had no idea of what the fuck just happened.
"Dahyun... can I ditch? I need to go clear my head." I said weakly. Dahyun nodded and hugged me once more before leaving for class.
Momo's POV
Class finally finished. I packed my things and left.
As I walked to my next class, I felt my phone buzz. I looked down and my brows furrowed.
From: J🖤
