Can you Sing for Me? (MiMo)

Chapter 25 [3/3]

Mina blew out a breath as Jinyoung read out the representative of the graduate names. One by one they walked into stage to get their certificate of graduation from Principal. She applauded when Jimin got his certificate. The boy smiled charmingly, as usual. Despite their not-well-start but he was a nice guy. When Sana walked into stage, she glanced at Tzuyu. Jungyeon had told her that she wasn't the only one who spent night with girlfriend. Tzuyu must feel sad too that Sana would leave Academy, but at least they could still meet since the ex-president girl would go to Korea Music and Art College. She nudged Tzuyu's arm and offered a smile. Tzuyu rubbed her knee, smiling back.

Mina's name made Momo look back at stage. Mina walked into stage, taking her certificate from Principal. She clapped her hands, smiling as Mina looked for her. She put a thumb up when their eyes met.

Mina grinned widely, holding up the certificate. She walked back to her seat. She glanced over shoulder, looking for her girlfriend but got confused for she didn't see Momo. 'Where's Momo?' Sound of mic brought her attention back to ceremony.

"Firstly, I want to congratulate all graduates, congratulations," Principal said. "It makes me proud to stand here, every year, seeing my precious students' graduation. I could only wish six year-learning at St. Mary's Academy will give you provision to start a new journey," she paused for a moment. "Okay, as much as I want to give my speech but I know it will bore my students. Again, congratulations." Principal smiled at her students' laugh.

Jinyoung, as master of ceremony, lifted his mic. "Thank you Madame Principal. Before we end the ceremony, there is a request from a student. Please welcome St. Mary's number one singer, our new idol!"

Momo stepped into stage. Applauses and squeals welcomed her. She mouthed a 'thank you' when Jinyoung put mic stand before her. She then hung guitar- Mina's -belt over shoulder. "I want to present this song to someone really precious to me," she said. "Where your heart is."

Mina was surprised to see her girlfriend on stage. She didn't know about the surprise. She glanced at her teacher. Jinyoung smiled, sending a wink. Sound of guitar brought her attention back to her girlfriend.

"Sitting alone staring at moon sky

The world looks so wide

Yet don't know where to be..."

Momo held gaze on one person. The person who had helped her to see her true self. Until she met Mina she never knew her place, truly place.

"When everything is black and white,

You color it brightly with you smile, with your love

I need you to hold me, walk beside me

And I won't be afraid to be who I am..."

Never before she thought that she would be attracted to a girl, although she was aware that she wouldn't ever like guys. Until she met Mina.

Mina closed her eyes, letting the beautiful voice fill her. 'You had colored my life Momo, and I feel more alive than before after I meet you. Thank you Haru..no.. Hirai Momo'

"Take my hand, take my soul, never let go

Be my eyes and show me

Here I belong to, where your heart is..."

Momo closed her eyes, slowing her strumming. 'I don't need to think, neither see. Because what I need is to feel. Don't worry Mina, I will be fine, I promise'

"Wherever your heart will be, and there..."

Momo released strings.

"...where I'm meant to be. "

In the silent hall only sound of heels was heard. But Momo didn't open her eyes. There was no tear. Instead it was a smile on her face.

A smile bloomed as Mina walked toward entrance door. She was leaving but it felt like she wasn't going anywhere. 'I know you will'

-----

She took a deep breath of morning air, letting warm sunlight fall over her face. She looked over at hundreds of student ready to start their school day. Cherry blossoms were at their best now, completing the picture of spring day. It was the same view she had seen a year ago. Everything was same.

Except, there was no longer queen wanna be girl in there.

She reached the pendant over her chest. She pulled corners of lips up, gazing lovingly at it. A scream got her attention. She just chuckled, watching as one of her best friend was running away from basketball team boys, and finally got rescued by the girl's girlfriend and her other best friend. She was glad some things didn't change at all.

"Momo, what are you doing there? C'mon I'm hungry."

"She forgot to do her homework again."

She let out a laugh, lifting a hand. "Coming,"

She put the ribbon-shaped pendant back under uniform shirt, trotting toward her waiting friends.

'Good morning Mina'
