Dahyun twists slightly in Sana's lap so that she can lift the bottle of whiskey to her mouth. She takes a quick gulp and turns back to Sana again, who is staring at Jihyo.
"Typical," Dahyun mumbles.
Sana has not been able to turn her eyes away from Jihyo for the couple of months that Dahyun and Sana have been "dating" for. Maybe even longer, Dahyun just hasn't really noticed it that much. Then again, Dahyun isn't blaming Sana. For one, Jihyo certainly is attractive. She has one of those soft and airy faces that almost resembles a fairy.
The other, probably much more relevant point as to why she isn't annoyed at Sana for ogling Jihyo is that Dahyun is in a similar situation. And that situation is exactly what made Dahyun and Sana get together in the first place. To make their significant others jealous.
Yes, Dahyun has managed to end up with a crush on Momo. It's not like anyone can blame her either, it was bound to happen. Momo is kind, fierce, funny, and beautiful. It honestly surprises Dahyun that it took her so long to realize her feelings. And the fact that they're staying in the same room doesn't make things any better.
Dahyun sighs to herself, taking another swig of her whiskey. She and Sana are sat on the sofa in the living room, ten at night, coming to the end of the party they've decided to hold in their dorm. It's just a small party, though, including the nine girls and some of their friends.
Dahyun sighs into her bottle again as she looks at Sana. They are supposed to be celebrating and having a good time, not sitting on each other's laps to sulk about their unrequited crushes on other people.
It isn't as though she or Sana are cheating on each other, their relationship isn't even real. They both admitted their crushes to each other a few months ago and that was what made this crazy idea come to mind. They haven't done anything other than giving simple hugs like they normally do.
Dahyun and Sana use the time in each other's rooms to talk about anything and everything. At this point, Dahyun is sure that they don't have any untold secrets between them. Of their not quite straight sexualities or of the pains of loving one's best friend. Both of them have also agreed that even if they "break up", they'll just go back to normal and act like nothing happened.
Dahyun shuffles herself around in Sana's lap for a second so that she is facing away from her, since she finds it a little depressing to see Sana staring at Jihyo so sadly. She brings the whiskey up to her mouth again, but before she can take a sip, her eyes fall onto the figure descending the room's door.
It's Momo. Her hair is pulled into a loose bun, several strands hanging around her face in a way that could be deliberate or accidental. Either way, Momo looks absolutely stunning. Her lips are an almost shocking red, vivid against her pale face. She bites her lip as she looks around the crowd of friends, seemingly searching for someone. Some of the red lipstick has smudged onto her teeth and Dahyun feels the sudden and very strong urge to lick it off.
Dahyun takes a quick swig of her drink one last time as she feels a little surge of confidence. She puts the bottle on the table and turns to Sana. "Can we break up?" she mutters.
Sana finally drags her eyes away from Jihyo and looks at Dahyun. Dahyun's eyes flick almost unwillingly back over to Momo for a second. Sana follows her gaze and then gives a quiet chuckle.
"Obviously. I think I'll go talk to Jihyo then."
"Good luck," Dahyun replies quickly, already getting up. She doesn't look back as she walks across the room and over to Momo.
"Hey!" Dahyun calls. "Were you sleeping or something?"
Momo smiles and if Dahyun was slurring her words a little (she was), Momo is kind enough not to mention it.
"No, I was just redoing my makeup," she says before reaching out and grabbing Dahyun's hand to pull her over to the sofa. "Let's sit down."
Dahyun sits first before pulling Momo down so that they are pressed close together. Neither of them release their linked hands, which makes Dahyun very happy. Dahyun leans against the sofa arm and looks at Momo. The lipstick is still on her teeth and the thought from earlier of licking it off has returned with a vengeance. Dahyun just stares, mind wandering. It takes her a second to realize that Momo is speaking, maybe even a bit longer than a second.
"Sorry, I got a bit distracted," she puts on her best smile, not that it is hard with Momo so close to her, "Start again?"
Momo rolls her eyes with a chuckle. "What did you get distracted by? Sana isn't here."
Dahyun turns and looks around to spot Sana. She appears to be finally going for it with Jihyo. They're very close and touchy. Good for them. Momo, having turned around to look for Sana at the same time as Dahyun, gives a gasp at her side. She leans forwards and hugs Dahyun.
"I'm so sorry," Momo says into Dahyun's shoulder.
"What?" After a second, it clicks in Dahyun's brain that Momo doesn't know what happened earlier. "Oh."
Momo squints at her, looking confused and a bit worried.
Filled with the sudden urge to fix whatever is making Momo feel sad, Dahyun explains, "It's fine, unnie. We broke up."
"What?" Momo stares at her. The reassurance doesn't have the effect Dahyun wanted, since Momo still just looks confused. "When? How did that happen?"
"Just before you walked in. I'm fine, we both knew it was going to happen," Dahyun chuckles, "We both have other crushes anyway."
If only Momo knew who hers was, maybe Dahyun could finally sort out the lipstick on Momo's teeth.
"You like someone else?" Momo's mesmerizing eyes flick away as she asks and a blush colours her cheeks. "Who?"
Dahyun suddenly becomes acutely aware of how closely they are pressed together and of their still linked hands. "Do you want me to show you?"
Momo nods, whereupon Dahyun is quick to lean across the inches between them, pressing her hungry lips against Momo's. She stays like that, waiting or maybe hoping for Momo to do something. And a second later, Momo does. She twists herself around so that she is sat atop of Dahyun and kisses her back.
Not long after, Dahyun finally manages to get that lipstick off Momo's teeth. She whispers that into Momo's ear as they walk through the hallway towards their room.
