Our Love Story

22

On the same day when Jeongyeon and Sana went on their date, Momo was searching for Mark in the school hallway. She found him but frowned when she saw him standing with a girl. She walked up to him and held his arm. "Hey babe, I was looking for you," she smiled at him.

"Hey Momo," he smiled back. Momo turned to talk to the girl, but she was already gone. "Who was that girl?" she asked.

"Oh, she's my classmate. She was asking me about homework," he explained as Momo nodded.

"Can you come over to my place today? We can watch a movie and cuddle," she asked hopefully.

"Sorry baby, not today. I have homework I need to finish," he explained, making Momo pout.

"Okay, then I'm gonna hang out with my friends," she said before the school bell rang, signaling it was time to get back to their classes.

Momo planned to hang out with the girls and try a new restaurant together after school. She was going to hang out with Jihyo, Dahyun, Mina, Tzuyu, and Chaeyoung, as the rest of their friends were on dates with their partners. As they sat, the girls couldn't help but laugh hard at how savage Tzuyu was being to Jihyo, who took it all in good humor.

Meanwhile, Dahyun sat in silence, thinking about how to tell the girls that she had decided to move to LA. She took a deep breath and said, "Hey, I have something to tell you all." They all turned to her, giving her their full attention.

"What is it?" Jihyo asked.

"I'm moving to LA next week," Dahyun confessed, making them all look at her in shock.

"Are you serious, Dahyun, or is this another prank?" Jihyo frowned.

Dahyun shook her head. "No, Jihyo, it's not a prank," she said in a serious tone.

"But why?" Momo asked, staring sadly at her friend.

"Well, my parents spend more time there. I barely see them here," she explained, making them nod sadly.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier? I'm going to miss you a lot, Dahyun," Momo said, holding her hand.

Dahyun looked at their joined hands and smiled sadly. "I will miss you too," she said, a tear running down her face. She pulled her hand from Momo's and wiped it away.

"Oh, don't cry," Mina said, her voice gentle.

Chaeyoung rubbed Dahyun's shoulder, sighing because she knew the real reason behind Dahyun's move. Momo and Jihyo started to tear up as well.

"Are you going to keep crying? It's better to make fun memories together before she leaves," Chaeyoung said, trying to lift the mood.

"You're right," Mina agreed, rubbing Momo's back. "It's not like Dahyun is going to leave us forever. She can visit us, and we can visit her as well, right?" Chaeyoung asked, and they all nodded.

As they calmed down, they decided to go shopping, determined to make the most of their time together. They wandered through the stores, laughing and chatting, creating memories together.

As they were shopping, Momo was surprised at what she saw. She spotted Mark. 'What is he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to study at home?' Momo thought in confusion. Dahyun noticed Momo frowning while looking somewhere. She followed Momo's gaze and saw Mark.

Momo approached him, and Mark was surprised to see her. He let out a deep breath. "Mark, what are you doing here? Didn't you say that you would study at home?" she asked him with a frown.

"Y-yes, I said that, but..." he avoided her gaze.

"But what?" Momo asked, her tone insistent.

"I-" he began, but Momo nodded, urging him to continue. He looked at the store they were standing in front of and sighed. "Well, I wanted to surprise you with a beautiful necklace," he confessed, still looking at the jewelry store.

Momo finally relaxed. "Oh no, I'm sorry I ruined your surprise," she pouted.

Mark chuckled nervously. "It's okay. Do you want to come in and try some?" he smiled as he held her hand.

Dahyun, watching them from a distance, sighed. "Where is Momo?" Jihyo asked.

Dahyun smiled lightly and pointed. "She is with Mark, buying something."

Jihyo looked and smiled. "Should we go or wait for her?" asked Tzuyu.

"Let's leave them alone. I will text Momo that we are leaving," said Mina, and they walked away.

Meanwhile, a girl was glaring at Momo and Mark from a distance. "Why did she come? She ruined our date," she muttered under her breath, her eyes filled with jealousy.
