I'M SO SORRY FOR THE CHAPTER DELAY.

_____________

“Do you have work today?” Jeongyeon asked Momo. “It's my day off today, my bestfriend will direct the movie in the mean time.” Jeongyeon gave the younger girl a bright smile. Enough to make the sun jobless.
“Great! We can start today, if you want.” Momo nodded. “I'm cool at starting today. I don't really have plans for this day but to sleep.” Jeongyeon's beam went brighter.
“I'll just talk to Chaeyoung first.” She went out to the counter to talk to her most trusted people in the shop.

“Chaeng, I'm gonna need you to watch the shop for me for a few days.” Jeongyeon whispered to her so she's the only one who can hear it.
“Sure. Something happened, Hyung?”
Jeongyeon smiled and shook her head.  “Nothing serious. I felt like going home and take a break.” Chaeyoung's eyes widen, “To your condo?” Jeongyeon nodded.
“Alright, make sure you rest to the fullest, Hyung.” Chaeng smiled and went back to the counter.

Jeongyeon gets her bag to pack up. After a few months, she's going to go home.

“You ready to go?” Jeongyeon asked Momo. “To where?”
“To my place.” Jeongyeon went to the back door and waited for Momo to follow her.

Momo hesitated to go with her. She barely knows her and all she knows is that she makes her unbelievably amazing coffee and took care of her when she was dead drunk.

I think Jeongyeon is a person I can trust.

“Let's go.” Momo stood up and followed Jeongyeon. They went outside to wait for a cab.

The drive on the way to Jeongyeon's condo was silent as ever. It was normal though, they don't know each other so they can't start a proper and normal conversation.

“Thank you, sir.” The older girl paid the driver. They went inside the building and waited for an elevator. “You live alone?” Jeongyeon shook her head. “I live with my cousin. Her name is Jihyo, though she ain't home since it's Monday and she has classes.”
The Japanese girl gave her a nod.

“Welcome to my humble home.” Jeongyeon unlocked the door. Two dogs ran towards Jeongyeon. “Nanan! Bbosong!” Jeongyeon crouched and cuddled the dogs. Momo was happy with the sight; Jeongyeon smiling genuinely after seeing her dogs.

So cute.

“Momo, meet Nanan, the poodle, and Bbosong, the pomeranian.” Momo held the dogs and Nanan licked her hand. “They're cute.” Jeongyeon nodded. “I really should go home more often. I miss them too much.” The older girl said.
“How long were out from home?” Momo asked as she observes the things in the living room. “Roughly 3 months.” Momo's jaw dropped. She's been out for that long? “That long? You're such a workaholic.” Jeongyeon chuckled and nodded “Yup, I need to. We plan to expand our shop thru various places in South Korea starting in Incheon.” The black haired girl was fascinated on how this short haired girl work. Being a director is hard, but being a businesswoman is not only risking your health, but also a big amount of money. “I wish you good luck, Jeongyeon.” The blonde girl smiled. “Thank you. Want some coffee?”
“Sure.”

"We can start here" Jeongyeon said to Momo as she is brewing coffee by pouring hot water on the crushed coffee beans. “How are we going to start here?” Jeongyeon stopped pouring water. “You try.” She gave the pot to Momo. “You see, if you pour in the water quickly, it'll taste bad, but if you pour it slowly and make sure you give equal water to each sides.” She gave instructions which Momo follows.

“See? brewing coffee takes time, and so is moving on.” Jeongyeon paused.
“Now the first step is take time to reflect, take time to contemplate. Think of the things you've done and what she did. It'll help you to know your worth.”
Momo nodded. “Noted.”
“But the question is, are you comfortable in telling me?” Jeongyeon sat at the couch beside Momo. The younger girl looks tensed but she still keeps her cold composure. “I think I can trust you.” she said coldly. “That's good, now tell me, what happened between the both of you?” Momo took a deep breath and started to close her eyes.

“She broke up with me and found someone else. Maybe it was because I lost time for her when we were filming for an international show. I was not at South Korea for 6 months. When I got home, she grew distant and cold towards me, it wasn't normal, and I tried to talk to her but she kept on denying and saying everything is fine.” Jeongyeon listened to every word she just said. “Then?”
“Then that night came, we were at my place when she broke up with me. She told me she doesn't love me anymore. It hurt, like alot. I made her my world but in just a split second, she left. Everything was shattered, broken, I didn't went to work for a week. And now, I never set foot on my house, because if I do, I'll just end up remembering everything she done to me. And on top of that, not a month passed and she already got a new girl.” Momo's voice was cracking. Not only because she's sad, but she was also angry at her.

“What do you think you lack?” Jeongyeon asked. “I lacked time for her.” Momo said honestly. “But I honestly don't get it. We've been together for 5 years, why didn't she understood?” The older girl sighed. “Now that what she lacks. Patience and understanding.” Jeongyeon concluded. Momo seconded her statement “Plus, she's really flirty. I don't get jealous that fast but I really know when she's flirting.”

“So Momo, you think after all you said, will it be worth it to go back to her?” Jeongyeon said.

Of course she would say yes, she loves her.

“Yes of course. I love her. I'm ready to give her another chance.” Jeongyeon shook her head. “That's where you're wrong, Momo. Sometimes, love is not enough for you to pursue someone or give someone another chance. You've got to look on both sides and use your head, not only your heart.” Momo got struck in her feels real hard. She felt that and suddenly realized it. But she wasn't ready to accept it.

Sana's worth it.

“And you shouldn't give someone a chance when she's not gonna even take it.”

Damn, I felt that.

“Look for someone who can give you the same amount of love you gave Sana, or even greater.” Momo tilted her head “Like who? Do you know someone? It seems like you do.”

“Like me.”
