Our Love Story

10

It was a morning like no other. Most of them had spent the night at Momo's house, her parents' were on a business trip.

Jeongyeon, still lost in the realm of dreams, was abruptly pulled back into reality by the incessant shaking and calling of her name. "Jeongyeon!"

She groaned, her head pounding like a drum, a cruel reminder of the previous night's excesses. "Stop," she managed to mumble, her voice hoarse and barely audible.

She opened her eyes, wincing at the light. She was met with the sight of her best friend, Momo. Her face etched with a mix of concern and annoyance. "Wash up and come downstairs," Momo commanded, her voice firm yet gentle.

Jeongyeon could only look at her apologetically. "I'm sorry, Momo," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Her words hung in the air for a moment before Momo turned to leave, her footsteps echoing down the hallway.

With a sigh, Jeongyeon pushed herself off the bed, her body protesting every movement. She made her way to the bathroom, her mind racing with the events of the previous night. She washed up. 

As she came down the stairs, she could hear the soft murmur of voices from the living room. All the girls were awake, their faces serious as they waited for her. As Jeongyeon entered the room, she felt a pair of eyes on her. Looking up, she locked eyes with Sana, who she hadn't realized was there. Their gaze held for a moment, a silent acknowledgment passing between them before Jeongyeon broke the contact and sat down in the middle of Seulgi and Jisoo on the couch. 

She glanced at her friends, her mind racing for the right words. Jisoo and Seulgi were usually the ones with the quick answers, the smooth talkers.

Suddenly, Seulgi winced, clutching her belly. "It hurts so bad. I need to go to the hospital," she groaned. The others exchanged looks, their frowns deepening. Seulgi's attempt at playing the sick card was so poorly executed, it was clear she was trying to dodge the situation.

Momo, her brow furrowed, turned to her. "Look me in the eye and tell me who's plan was this?" she demanded. Seulgi's eyes widened. "Not me," she protested, but the others were already shooting her suspicious glances. Jisoo crossed her arms, rolling her eyes at Seulgi's feeble denial.

"So, you're the mastermind behind this?" Momo pressed, her voice rising.

"No, not me," Seulgi stuttered. She barely knew Momo, but she could sense that she was not someone to cross. Momo turned her gaze to Jisoo, knowing Jisoo wouldn't hesitate to tell the truth. "Jisoo, who came up with this idea?" Momo's question hung in the air. "Seulgi," Jisoo responded without hesitation, her reply echoing in the silent room.

"What? Me? No, it wasn't me," Seulgi defended herself.

"But Jisoo said it was you," Momo leaned to her and looked her in the eyes. Seulgi turned her gaze. "No, she's lying,". 

"I'm not lying, Seulgi came up with this idea and we all agreed," Jisoo put her leg over the other with her arms crossed and looked at Seulgi and sighed at how she was still lying.

Momo then looked at Jisoo as she raised a question. "Since when did you and Rosie get back together?". Jisoo sighed, she had enough of questions.

"Momo stop this already," she said and stood up. "I had enough, I'm leaving," Jisoo walked away.

Momo then turned her gaze to Jeongyeon.
"Who was that girl who was sitting on your lap?"

Jeongyeon lowered her gaze. "She's Rosie's friend,"

"Momo can we end this conversation now? All of us did wrong and we won't do it again. I know you were just worried about us and I appreciate that a lot." said Jeongyeon and her best friend nodded.
