A sight of Sana assisting Momo to function is the first scene that Mina sees.

Momo's arm is around Sana's neck while Sana is hugging her on the side assisting Momo to move.

Serving as Momo's support.

Serving as Momo's sling.

Mina must admit the pair looks dazzling together.

Sana looks at Momo indifferently, something that Mina never saw how Sana looks at Mina.

Sana looks at Mina with compassion yet Sana looks at Momo with passion.

Two words that sound the same but certainly has different meanings.

Compassion, a feeling that offers understanding and sympathy.

Passion, a strong and barely controllable emotion.

Mina knows.

She does.

But -

Maybe there is nothing different in how Sana looks at Momo from how she looks at everyone else.

Maybe it is just nothing and it is Mina who is putting a meaning to it.

She hates this.

She hates herself whenever she'd overthink about something.

Or, maybe she hates herself because she knew there is something but she is too stubborn to even listen to the voices inside her head that there is something that is odd between Sana and Momo.

She is torn between her own thoughts. Yet, asking Sana would be her own doom.

What if there is nothing going on? Wouldn't Mina look petty because she suspects the best friend?

A person that is so important to Sana.

A person who Sana shares her whole life with.

Momo is Sana's family.

And as far as it goes Mina does want to be understanding about this.

Understanding how Momo and Sana look at each other.

How the two long for each other.

How the two could have had a million of unspoken words for each other.

All of it.

But, what if?

What if her intuition is real?

What if Sana chooses Momo over her? Will Mina be able to handle it?

Will she be able to let Sana go?

Will she be able to let go of the person who made her happiest?

Of the person who defies her existence?

The person who saved her?

The person...

Her person.

Mina knows.

She also knows that she'd be knocked out competing against Momo.

What are her ten months compared to the two decades of Sana and Momo?

Sana and Mina may not have known each other for a very long time but what she shared with Sana is worth her whole lifetime.

Her own existence.

Mina never interfered.

She never does.

Because when she does, everything she knows will vanish before her eyes.

Everything she is will never be her.
