i'm sorry you loved me ; samo

momo heard the messages sana left, but by the time she did it was late at night and sana was most likely asleep. momo had snuck out her window earlier that night to meet up with mina.

momo was going to call her before she went to school, but she forgot, and what happened at school was something that changed everything.

she was at her locker, putting her stuff in it. "hirai momo.." a deep voice said. momo turned her head towards the voice and saw a boy. she had seen him around school, but she didn't know his name.

"hi." she said softly. the boy flashed her a toothless grin. "you don't know me, but my name is minsoo. we have a few classes together, and i think it's time we get acquainted." he said.

momo already clocked out. "what do you mean?" she asked, continuing to put things into her locker.

"we should go get some food after school." he said. "i think you're very pretty, and i'm an attractive man, so i think we would be a nice couple."

momo rolled her eyes and looked back to the boy. "you think we'd be a good couple just because i'm pretty? you don't even know me." she said.

minsoo's gaze changed. "well i want to get to know you." he said. momo shook her head. "thank you, but i'm not interested in dating right now."

minsoo laughed. "yes you are. what about you and minari?" he taunted. momo's heart nearly stopped, as if they hadn't made it clear that there was something going on between them. momo closed her locker and looked at him. "we're friends." she said.

minsoo laughed. "is that what friends do?" he asked, holding up his phone. there was a picture of momo outside mina's front door, kissing her. momo looked up at the boy. "you fucking creep." she spat.

"what? cant accept that you're a dyke?" he hissed. momo's eyes burned with tears. suddenly, minsoo fell over, falling onto the ground. momo almost forgot she was at school, around other people. wonpil was standing where minsoo once was. "momo, what is he doing?" he asked. he turned towards minsoo, who was already getting up.

"what the fuck did you call her?" wonpil asked.

minsoo got up and grinned at him. "a dyke! that's what she is. why do you think she's never dated a guy. it's because she's fucking myoui mina." minsoo shouted, not trying to be quiet.

wonpil went to punch the boy, but a teacher grabbed him before he did. "boys, calm down!" the teacher yelled. tears spilled down momo's cheeks, and someone grabbed her shoulders softly. she didn't even have to look back to see who it was. she could tell by the nail polish on the fingernails, the warmth that accompanied the person, that it was mina. but it didn't feel right anymore, now that everyone knew about them.

the teacher pulled the two boys away, and everyone's eyes stayed on momo and mina. jihyo was behind mina, and she walked out to the middle of the hallway. "everyone go to class. this isn't for everyone to see." she said. she was so powerful. everyone started walking away, muttering among themselves.

jihyo wiped momo's tears. "you okay?" she asked. momo nodded, reaching up to touch mina's hand. "im okay."

jihyo and mina walked her to her classes that day, and tzuyu, dahyun, and chaeyoung later joined in after they heard about what had happened.

they all went back to momo's house. momo avoided most of the questions her mom asked when she asked her about her day.

momo sat her bed, constantly glancing at her phone. she wanted to call sana so bad. she wanted to hear sana comfort her. they didn't talk a lot, but sana was still the only person that could truly comfort her. not even mina could make momo feel as safe as sana could.

dahyun sat in front of momo, making funny faces, cracking jokes, and doing impressions in hopes of making momo laugh. and most of them worked. dahyun was hilarious.

"if anyone treats you bad, just tell me and i'll beat them up for you." chaeyoung said, throwing a punch at the air.

tzuyu laughed. "how are you gonna beat anyone up if you have to jump to reach their head?" she asked.

chaeyoung's jaw drop and she ran at tzuyu, jumping on her and tackling her onto the carpet. everyone laughed at the two younger girls. mina joined momo on the bed, holding her hand tightly.

momo grabbed her phone and started to look for sana's name. "who are you calling?" mina asked.

"an old friend." momo said. "we used to be best friends. before i moved, we were inseparable. we've drifted apart because she cant come visit... hopefully that changes soon." she said. "she just always knows how to make me feel better."

dahyun whined. "am i not doing good?" she asked. momo chuckled and patted dahyun's head. "you're doing great."

dahyun smiled brightly at momo. momo called sana, hoping that she'd pick up. she didnt.

momo sighed, and put her phone down. mina squeezed her hand. "i'm sure she'll answer later. she's probably still busy." mina suggested. momo nodded. she was probably right.

her hands were shaky, but she quickly sent a text to wonpil.

thank you for defending me. i love you ! you're the only boy i'll ever say this t0.

you're welcome momo. you're still my friend no matter what. if you ever need someone to protect you, i'm right here. but you'll be fine. you're strong and so are your friends. hope tomorrow is better.
