Can you Sing for Me? (MiMo)

Chapter 22 [2/3]

"I will do it myself," Momo said, spinning on heel. But before she could leave the girl caught her arm.

"Where are you going?"

Momo looked up at the suddenly panicked girl. Sana was right. "You want to reveal my truth, right? I'll make it easy for you," she said. She pushed the girl's hand off, starting to walk.

"Haru,"

Momo ignored the girl. Gazes from hundreds pair of eyes were aiming at her but she walked confidently. She had made up her mind. She wouldn't let anyone control her life, using her to hurt another person, in particular someone dear to her.

Mina had stopped dancing since couple of minutes ago, watching the other pair in perplexity. She noticed their little argument before Momo left Kei. 'What was she up to?'

Momo walked toward MC boy, Tzuyu and Jungyeon followed behind her.

It then hit Mina. "No, no…"

"May I?" Momo asked the MC.

The boy frowned but gave the mic to her nonetheless.

Momo turned around to face students and teachers of St. Mary's Academy. Suddenly her mouth went dry, something tightened her throat. 'You can do this Momo, it's for the best' She felt hands on her back. Yes, she wasn't alone, she had Tzuyu and Jungyeon. After gathering courage, she lifted the mic, ready to speak. "Good evening everyone," she said. Her voice trembled with nervousness. "I'm sorry for interrupting, but there is some…"

Suddenly someone grabbed the mic away from Momo's hand, stopping her.

"What the hell are you thinking you're doing?" Mina said to the disguised girl.

"Give me the mic."

"No," Mina said, holding it away from Momo. "Are you out of your mind? You could have gotten yourself expelled from here."

Momo turned to face Mina. As she saw the girl's concern eyes, she smiled inwardly. "I have to do this."

Mina shook her head. "No, you can't. I won't let you do this. I don't want to lose you."

The statement made Momo smile and something warm her chest. If they were alone she would have taken Mina's cheek and wiped those tears that ready to fall. Instead she reached for Mina's hand. "You have to trust me," she said. The girl once again shook her head. "Please."

"But…" Mina wanted to argue, hold back the girl. But she couldn't move her hand and let Momo take the mic from her.

"Please trust me,"Momo said. She offered small smile to assure the dearest person she had ever had. Somehow with Mina standing next to her, she felt no fear. She sucked in deep breath, bringing mic up to mouth. "Where were we? Oh yeah, something I need to talk. Actually, I have secret, something I, and my friends here, keep from Academy."

"Haru, stop it!"

Momo just glanced at her partner briefly and continued. "We are girl," she finally said, lifting a hand to remove her blonde wig.

The large hall suddenly turned silent that even a hairpin fell onto floor could be noticed by them. And as if someone snapped their fingers, sweeping away the spell, everyone gasped. Soon murmurs and shocked screams echoed the hall.

"You three…for real?" a student boy asked in shock. "Oh my gosh!"

"Kwangyun-ssi! Xiumin-ssi!"

"Haru-ssi!"

The situation was worse than Momo's first audition. There were hundreds pair of eyes looking at her in disbelief, and surprisingly, for some in amazement. She couldn't blame them; to know that your classmates or juniors are girls pretending to be boys was a quite shock. She glanced at Principal kahi but couldn't read the woman's eyes.
