College Hearts (Twice Moji FF)

Chapter 2

Momo sat in the quiet dorm room, her sketchbook open on her lap, sketching aimlessly as she tried to ward off the boredom. With Mina absent and Sana out with Tzuyu, the room felt emptier than usual. Jihyo lay on her bed, scrolling through her phone, but she seemed equally restless.

Momo: *sighs* "It's so quiet without Mina and Sana here. What should we do, Jihyo?"

Jihyo: "I know what you mean, Momo. It's a bit too quiet. We could watch a movie or something. Or... we could just chat."

Momo: "Chat sounds nice. What should we talk about?"

Jihyo: "How about we share some of our interests? What do you like to do in your free time?"

Momo: *smiles* "I love drawing, of course. It's so relaxing."

Jihyo: "That's cool. I've always admired people who can draw. I like to read. Novels, mostly. They transport me to different worlds."

Momo: "Reading is great too. I should try it more often. You know what else I love? Kpop!"

Jihyo: "Really? Me too! Itzy is my favorite group. Their energy is just incredible."

Momo: *excited* "No way! Itzy is my favorite too! Lia's voice is amazing, and their performances are always so powerful."

As they delved into their shared love for Itzy, the conversation flowed effortlessly. They discussed their favorite songs, dance moves, and even attempted to mimic some of the choreography. The room was soon filled with laughter and excitement.

Jihyo: "I can't believe we have the same favorite group! Have you seen their latest MV?"

Momo: "Of course, I watched it the moment it dropped. It was mind-blowing. They just keep getting better."

Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it made Momo feel closer to Jihyo. As they continued chatting about Itzy, Jihyo decided to freshen up her makeup. She took out her compact mirror and checked her reflection. After a quick touch-up, she placed the mirror on Momo's table, surprising her.

Momo: (curious) "Oh, thanks, Jihyo. I wasn't expecting that."

As Momo turned to face Jihyo to strike up another conversation, her arm accidentally knocked into the mirror, causing it to teeter and then fall. Both of them scrambled to catch it, their hands touching briefly in the process. Momo felt a sudden rush of warmth, butterflies in her stomach, and her heart fluttering.

Momo: (blushing) "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to—"

Jihyo: (smiling) "No worries, Momo. It was just an accident."

The moment was brief, but it left Momo feeling a strange mix of excitement and uncertainty. As they laughed and picked up the mirror together, Momo couldn't help but wonder if there was something more to the connection she was feeling with Jihyo.
