"Wait, where are you going?" Dahyun asks when Momo suddenly gets up and walks away.
"Jeongyeon wanted to cut my bangs, so I'm going to her room."
Ever since their debut, Jeongyeon has been the person to cut Momo's bangs whenever they grow longer than she prefers. It's not like someone else can't do it, but it seems like everyone just collectively agreed on Jeongyeon being the hairstylist. So, now that the dancer's bangs are poking her eyes while she and Dahyun are just sitting around on the couch in the living room, she decides that it's time to get a little trim.
"Can I do it this time? I wanna try," Dahyun asks her as she is about to leave the room.
Actually, Dahyun is totally lying about wanting to try it. Well, yeah, she wants to take on the mission for once too, but there is a bigger reason. It's that she can imagine Jeongyeon sitting on Momo's lap to cut her hair, which obviously doesn't actually happen. Although she has never had such unrealistic thoughts and concerns before, Dahyun, being the girlfriend of Momo, thinks she should be the one in Jeongyeon's place.
"But Jeongyeon—"
"Oh, come on, she probably forgot and is already sleeping anyway!" Dahyun jumps up from the couch, "Let's go, shall we?"
Without letting Momo talk, Dahyun grabs her by the hand and drags her along. She rushes to their bedroom as Momo is barely able to keep up with her, her legs stumbling left and right. Momo is kind of annoyed, since she was planning on eating before going to Jeongyeon, but it looks like she won't be able to anymore. Still, she can't help a smile, already aware of why Dahyun is being like this.
On the other hand, another reason for Dahyun's behavior is the fact that Momo could just let the person she shares a room with do the job instead of having to visit Jeongyeon's room. Because that's totally too much work, right? Dahyun totally isn't jealous, right?
They step into the bedroom and Dahyun let's go of Momo just to quickly grab a pair of scissors out of a little cup filled with pens from the table, accidentally knocking the cup down. She pretty much ignores it and turns back to Momo.
However, when she sees the girl pouting at her with an adorable little expression, Dahyun's eyes immediately avert back onto the table. She lets out a little gasp and several apologies as she rearranges the cup and pens to their place. The pens are Momo's drawing pens.
"There, it's all fixed!" Dahyun says with shaky eyes as she fixes the pens and cup.
Momo chuckles at Dahyun's sudden panic and Dahyun chuckles at how Momo's mood can go downhill due to such a small inconvenience. Nevertheless, Dahyun twirls her arm around Momo's before guiding them to the bathroom.
"I'm gonna sit in the bath and you can stand on the side to cut it," Momo says.
And just like that, Dahyun's dreams get shattered into pieces. Although, she's kind of relieved, letting the image of Jeongyeon sitting in her girlfriend's lap fade away. But that doesn't mean that Dahyun is going to let this absolutely incredible chance go to waste.
"Well, I can get into the bath too and then we can shower after?"
They've showered together many times before and every single time, one of them fails on holding themselves back, making the shower end up being a cherished make-out session. They don't mind that, though.
Momo gives Dahyun a nod before she starts dressing out of her clothes, folding them and placing them to the side. In the meantime, Dahyun has already silently locked the door before placing the scissors onto the counter and joining the girl in the undressing. She manages to not ogle at her girlfriend's body yet even though it's tempting her already. Even so, she is determined on getting done with the trimming before anything.
Momo steps into the bath first and sits down in it, settling herself before signaling Dahyun to join her by patting her legs. And Dahyun does, taking the scissors, stepping inside, and taking place on Momo's legs. The bathroom is rather cold, but both of them know that it won't be staying like that for long.
"Momo, do you trust me?" Dahyun then asks.
She knows that she would never forgive herself if she cuts the girls bangs wonky or too short, so she's really nervous.
"Yeah, always," Momo answers with a smile.
Those simple two words from Momo calm the younger one down faster than anything else could. Momo never fails at letting a smile shine on Dahyun's face whenever she's feeling down, tired, bored, or just on a normal basis. Besides, Momo's own face can only reflect Dahyun's, thanks to the younger one always being by her side during ups and downs.
All that either of them need is just a simple hug, a simple touch, a simple kiss from the other one, and all problems disappear in an instant. That's why as Dahyun feels Momo's warm hands on her hips in this cold room, the uneasiness she had about cutting the older one's bangs suddenly vanishes.
"Well then, I'm starting!"
First, Dahyun brushes through the bangs with her fingers to set them in place and study how much she has to cut off. Then, she takes them in between two fingers and slowly, bit by bit, cuts the hairs to end just on the girl's eyebrows. During all that, Momo repeatedly tells her that she is doing a great job even though she can't even see what's happening. That makes the inner hairstylist to appear out of Dahyun and she successfully cuts the bangs perfectly to Momo's liking.
"Good job, you—"
Dahyun cuts her off with a chuckle. "But you haven't even seen it yet!"
As Dahyun is about to stand up to get a little mirror, Momo tightens her grip on the girl's hips and holds her in place. That causes Dahyun to almost fall over, so she holds onto Momo's shoulders. Dahyun has a questioning look on her face, but Momo only pulls Dahyun closer to her so the younger one is straddling her, leaving no space between them.
"I don't need to see it because I love everything you do," Momo says.
To that, Dahyun jokingly makes a grossed out face and throws her head to the side. Although, both of them know that she is secretly enjoying the flirtatious but sweet words from the older one. Be that as it may, Momo removes one hand from Dahyun's hips and reaches up to Dahyun's chin, gently turning the girl's head back to face her.
They hold each other's gazes with tender smiles as Momo lowers her hand to just under Dahyun's jawline, pinching and scratching the soft skin there. That spot has always been in the leaderboard of Momo's favorite parts of Dahyun, the top ranking belonging to her lips.
Therefore, one last chuckle can be heard before Momo sneaks her hand behind Dahyun's neck, pulling her in to connect their lips. They take their sweet time to cherish every single kiss, bite to the lip, or just a little brush of lips. Neither of them mind sitting in the bath together and only embracing each other, but kissing is just something extra that they both clearly enjoy.
One last kiss before they find themselves locked in each other's eyes once again, just admiring each other. Momo tucks a strand of hair behind Dahyun's hair and the younger one's hands are around Momo's neck, softly caressing under the jawline with her thumbs.
"Shall I start washing you now?" Momo suggests.
"No," Dahyun kisses again, "Just a little longer, please."
Momo gives her a long blink as a way to approve and then Dahyun goes in for a hug, wrapping her arms around Momo's shoulders. Momo also wraps hers around Dahyun's body, holding her so close that it looks like she's trying to merge their bodies into one.
