The first time that Dahyun ever felt the nagging feeling at the pit of her stomach was on a late afternoon gym session. The orange glow of the sun was illuminating the whole place through the wide windows. Dahyun was sitting on one of the weight machines, already done with her workout. Momo had already told her to leave if she was done first, but waiting for her girlfriend was never a burden for Dahyun.
Her girlfriend. The thought brought a smile to her lips like it always did. She had never really imagined calling someone her own, or just never allowed hope to build up. Yet here she was, admiring Momo as she was boxing.
With one final blow, Momo knocked her instructor down, her body partially above his as she used one of her hands to keep herself up. "Told you I would get you this time."
"Guess that pretty body is strong too." He gave Momo a chuckle as he took the hand she offered to help him up.
Momo just lightly smacked him on the shoulder, knowing that he was only joking. They get along so well that they even consider themselves as friends rather than a trainer and trainee.
But from afar, Dahyun wished that they really were just training partners. It made a slight frown form on her face, her hand tightening a little around her water bottle. It was just a silly comment, it had to be. He wouldn't flirt with her, right?
And yet Dahyun was barely able to contain the uneasiness that filled her chest. She became a little restless and had the aggravating urge to just get up, take Momo's hand, and walk away. Though, she knew that action would leave Momo in an awkward position. So, she continued waiting.
Soon, Momo was approaching Dahyun. "You waited for me." Her voice was filled with adoration as she gave Dahyun a kiss on the head.
Dahyun got flustered at the sudden display of affection, a soft blush coming to her cheeks. The relationship was new, but she knew she would never get completely used to the way Momo treated her, the way she loved her. And Dahyun fell for her a little more every day with every gesture.
The second time, Dahyun realized that the feeling could be jealousy. She never considered herself to be a jealous person, but then again, she never really had anyone special to be jealous of.
The two of them were chosen to attend one of the company's parties. It was a big event, even other big companies were attending. The rented venue was huge and fully decorated to fit the aesthetic of everyone's suits and dresses. It was filled with many group members, staff, and even CEOs.
Dahyun was never a big fan of these parties, but when she saw Momo walking towards her, she smiled. Momo was holding two drinks in her hands, her black dress hugging her body just right. Although they wore similar looking dresses, Dahyun thought it suited Momo way more. Everyone was pretty and handsome that night, though Dahyun's eyes were only for Momo's beauty.
However, she wasn't the only one that noticed this beauty. In the corner of her eyes, Dahyun could see two men eyeing Momo up and down as she passed by them. Momo must have noticed as well, as she straightened her posture and her last few steps looked awkward.
Dahyun wasn't usually reckless and impulsive, but for once she was as she swung an arm around Momo's waist and pulled her close. There was practically no gap between them anymore and Dahyun never removed her hand from Momo's waist.
Momo giggled. "What's all this for?"
"I just missed you."
"I was gone for five minutes." Momo handed Dahyun her drink and Dahyun finally let go of her, but still made sure they're close.
"I know." Dahyun took a sip of her drink while taking a glance towards the men that were now intensely looking down at their empty glasses.
The third time when the feeling came, they were having a peaceful breakfast at the nearby coffee shop. They were sitting in front of one another, just enjoying the fresh morning air and each other's presence.
