Waterfall

Chapter 9

About two months later, Mina and Momo were still messing around with each other. None of them knew what was going on, they definitely weren't official. Momo hated herself for cheating on Dahyun, but they weren't even in a relationship to begin with either, so it made her feel a little better. This was all just messed up to her. It was all weird when it came to Mina. But Momo didn't think of any of it seriously, knowing that, whatever happens, she is still in love with Dahyun. Those thoughts made no sense whatsoever, but even like that, made Momo feel a bit better about the situation. 

But the circumstances were like that. Momo just found herself spending all this time with Mina, and she was enjoying it. It wasn't worth losing Dahyun like that definitely, but Momo just let it happen. 

On the other hand, Mina was still sorting out her feelings on the situation. She didn't feel too good about it either, especially since she was hurting one of the first friends she had, out of the eight of them. Sana. 

She didn't try to approach Sana anymore, and did try to cut it off with Momo a little. For the sake of their two friends of course. But the two Japanese couldn't keep their hands to themselves. Even when Mina tried to distance herself, Momo was the one who kept coming back. Half of the times it wasn't even anything sexual, they just loved spending time with each other. Mina did, because, well, she genuinely loved the other, and was just enjoying her new found feelings. 

Mina hated herself as well for doing this. For doing this to all three of them, not including herself. She hated hurting her friends. Even though she was just acting out on her feelings.

She remembers the exact moment she made both Dahyun's and Sana's heart break. That day at the mall. When she purposely stuffed a fry into Momo's mouth, after seeing the other girls just a few meters away from them, making the older whine kissing her right after, so Sana and Dahyun would see. And even though she couldn't see their facial expressions in the exact moment, she could see them in her mind. She didn't know why she did it. Jealousy? She didn't think so. There was nothing to be jealous of. Marking her territory? That didn't seem like it either, since the two weren't really a thing. 

Momo enjoyed all this time spent with the younger as well, because, Mina was her best friend, and the fact that the girl was acting so differently was kind of exciting to her. She was curious to see more. Even though she knew, she felt, how bad she was hurting the one she actually loved. 

And in all honesty she did miss Dahyun a lot. But she knew the younger was sensing something, so she really couldn't do much about it. Well, she could go back to Dahyun and forget Mina, but where was the fun in that? 

So every night, Momo still went over to Dahyun's room, accompanying her at night. And even though Dahyun was never even paying attention to the girl, she never kicked her out. She let her stay every time she came over, but she'd always face the wall, or she would just not hug the girl back. She acted as if the girl wasn't even there. While Momo would hug the girl tight every night, and always nuzzle her nose in the back of Dahyun's head, inhaling her scent. 

Dahyun would always smile at this action, but then immediately mentally slap herself for thinking of it as even slightly endearing. But she couldn't help herself. Momo coming over at night always made her feel better. No matter how much she hurt her, Dahyun still loved the older. 

And Dahyun knew. If she ever told Momo to stop coming to her room, the older would. And that would just twist the already planted knife in her heart. As much as it hurt Dahyun when the girl always woke up earlier to "go practice" or "go running" she now knew those were lies. Maybe not completely, maybe she was practicing with Mina or going for a run with Mina. She never even wanted to imagine how those practices ended. To know that someone else had her Momo now killed her enough. And just add Momo leaving her in those cold mornings, when anyone would want someone by their side to warm them up. Dahyun was left alone. Alone with her thoughts, tears, and sleepless, wide open eyes. It was a perfect way to mentally murder someone.
