Can you Sing for Me? (MiMo)

Chapter 14 [2/2]

Momo had finished morning practice with Tzuyu and Jeongyeon. They decided to go for lunch. Although now was summer holiday, but most of students still remained at school. They were about to enter dining room when her phone buzzed. It was a message from Mina.

"Guys, sorry gotta go. I'll see you later after lunch."

Tzuyu and Jeongyeon just grinned knowingly.

Momo left dining room, heading toward student representative garden. Mina wanted to meet there. A bright smile formed on her face when she found the girl.

"Sorry if I disturb your practice I thought to have lunch together," Mina said.

Momo pulled a chair out to sit. "It's alright, was about to have lunch anyway. So, another picnic?"

Mina grinned widely showing her gummy smile

Momo looked over their lunch. "Looks...delicious?" She narrowed her eyes at green-paste-thing over tempura. 'Green mayonnaise?'

"I made it myself," Mina said. "Here." She handed chopsticks to Haru. "Let's eat, let's eat."

Momo offered a smile and took the lunch box in hand. She took a bite of tempura. It took her everything not to spill the thing out from her mouth. Apparently the green thing was mayonnaise mix with something she couldn't describe.

"How's it? Do you like it?"

"Hmm?" Momo nodded. After quick chew gulping down. "Yes, I like it," she said and then took another bite.

"Really?" Mina asked cheerily.

Momo nodded again. She didn't mean to lie. Honestly it was 'new' taste, something she never tasted before. She tried to gulp the thing down and offered another smile. She didn't want to disappoint Mina.

Mina smiled, satisfied, and had her meal. But she quickly grabbed tissue and spilled the fried shrimp out, starting to cough.

"Are you alright?" Momo took green tea and handed it to Mina. "Be careful."

Mina looked up at Haru, disbelieved. "You say this delicious?"

Momo tilted head aside, trying to smile.

"No, don't eat this nasty thing," Mina said and reached for the lunch box in Haru's hand.

"No, it's okay Mina. I can eat it," Momo said, taking the box back. "Well, it's, uh..." She licked her lips, trying to find better word without hurting Mina but came up with nothing.

"No, you'll have stomach disorder, don't eat." Mina tried to take the box but Haru once again moved it away.

"I can eat the other, see?" Momo took the kimbap but her eyes widened. It felt like eating salt instead. She quickly grabbed tissue.

Mina grabbed the box from him. "I should learn first. I thought to make lunch for you."

Momo watched as Mina lowered her head in embarrassment. It made her happy to know that the girl tried to cook for her. "It's okay, I can't either," she said but Mina still looked down. "Well, you should learn maybe next time." Mina pinched her arm but smiled a little.

"Wait here."

Mina was confused when Haru stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Just wait here, okay?"

Mina watched as Haru left. She then cleared the table while cursing inwardly for embarrassing herself. She made mental note to learn how to cook.

After a while Momo returned with plastic food boxes in hands.

"Got it from dining room," Momo said and put the boxes on table before sitting on chair. "We need to eat something." She then opened the box.
