Morning bathed Twice's dorm in a gentle, comforting light, signaling the start of a new day. With a determined spirit, Mina stepped out of her room and made her way to the living room, wearing a satisfied smile. "Today's the day," she thought to herself, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves.

Upon entering the living room, Mina found it empty, but she heard the faint sounds of laughter drifting from the kitchen. Curious, she headed in that direction.

As she stepped into the kitchen, she was greeted by the delightful aroma of morning pancakes and coffee. Sana and Nayeon were perched on the counter, enjoying breakfast together and sharing laughs.

"Good morning, Mina!" Sana and Nayeon chimed in unison, their cheerful greetings accompanied by warm smiles. Momo was at the stove, busy flipping pancakes.

Mina's heart swelled with determination and anticipation. "Let's do it" she reaffirmed to herself, her smile widening as she approached Momo at the stove.

"Hi, Mina" Momo started "How many pancakes do you-"

But before Momo could finish her question, she was interrupted. Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms encircle her waist from behind, and a chin resting gently on her shoulder. Momo froze in place, her movements halted, and her eyes widened in surprise.

On the counter, Nayeon and Sana exchanged incredulous glances, their expressions mirroring each other's disbelief. They both looked from Momo to Mina and to each other over and over again, as if trying to confirm whether what they were witnessing was real or if the pancakes had some kind of special ingredient that was making them hallucinate.

"M-Mina, are you okay?" Momo stuttered, her arms trembling and a cringed expression on her face. Mina hummed in affirmation, offering a soft smile. "A-are you sure?" Momo continued, still in shock.

"Yes, I've never been better," Mina replied confidently, her smile widening as she leaned in to plant a kiss on Momo's cheek. With that, she grabbed a plate of pancakes and made her way to the counter, leaving Momo bewildered and rooted to the spot.

Sana and Nayeon exchanged incredulous looks, their mouths hanging open before they both erupted into laughter. "What's gotten into you?" Nayeon managed to say between fits of giggles, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Nothing, I'm just feeling perfect," Mina responded nonchalantly, taking a seat on a stool at the counter and placing her plate down with a satisfied grin.

"That's not fair, I want one too," Sana chimed in, stepping out of her chair and preparing to throw herself into Mina's embrace. However, she halted as Mina raised a hand between them, signaling for her to stop. With a mischievous smile, Mina said, "Let's finish eating first, Sana. We have to go to practice."

Sana's expression turned into a pout, and she looked as though she might cry. Sensing her disappointment, Nayeon intervened. "Hey, come here," she beckoned, opening her arms wide for Sana. "I can give you all the love you need."

Sana's eyes brightened at Nayeon's offer, and she immediately rushed into her Unnie's embrace, peppering her cheeks with kisses as they both giggled.

"Yah," Momo scolded them as she took a seat on the counter. "Why are all of you like this today?" Her expression was a mix of confusion and disgust.

Sana stopped in her tracks, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Looks like someone is jealous," she teased, walking towards Momo. "Don't worry, I can give you all the kisses you want."

Momo's eyes widened in horror, and without waiting for a reaction, she bolted out of the kitchen, screaming, "Nooooooo!" before locking herself in her room.

The kitchen erupted in laughter at the scene, and after a few minutes, Sana took Mina's hand and pulled her out of the room. "Come on, Mina, we have to go to practice."

Mina followed Sana's lead with a nonchalant expression, but internally, her emotions were swirling at the view of her best friend's hand intertwined with hers. "I felt the same with Momo, right?" she wondered to herself. "Yes, yes, definitely I did. I just didn't realize because I got distracted by the smell of pancakes. Yes, that's it. It has to be." Mina tried to convince herself.

Deep down, however, Mina couldn't deny the truth. The feelings she had for Momo were far away from to the intensity of the ones she felt with Sana's touch.
