Decaffeinated

twenty.

There was a mysterious person standing in front of Momo's apartment. I looked at it carefully, observing what it's doing or what it's going to do.

I let Momo go to her door and see what it will do.

The person grabbed her, shoulder. I ran towards the person and pulled her away from Momo.

"What are you trying to do?" I asked the person who is now sitting on the floor.
"I just want to talk to Momo." the person's voice was so familiar, she took off the hoodie and I absolutely know who it was.

Sana.

"What do you want now, Sana?" Momo irritatingly said. "I just wanna talk. Please, Momo." She went close to Momo and almost hugged her, but I pushed her.
"What's your problem? Get the fuck out of here, I wanna talk to Momo." her guts makes my blood boil, but luckily, Momo was there and she kept me calm by holding my hand.
"You get out of here, Sana. We have nothing to talk about." she said, but Sana was too stubborn and still wanted to talk to her.
"Give me a chance, please, Momo." Momo rolled her eyes and sighed. She was stressed out by Sana because not only she's being too pushy, but also tipsy and doesn't listen to anything that we say.

"5 minutes." I looked at Momo with wide eyes. She held my hands tighter. "Don't worry, Jeong. I'll handle this from here." I sighed and nodded. "I'll wait here outside, call me if anything happens, okay?" She smiled and and nodded. She gestured Sana to go inside while I wait outside.

I can't help but to be anxious on what will happen. What if Sana wants her back?There's no doubt that Momo will pick her over me. I mean, what do I stand over their 5 years? I'm just the person who's stupid and agreed to be with her. Things we do for love, huh? Just me thinking about it makes me lose hope. Am I gonna go back on being that guy that every girl in Daegu hates? I hope not, because even I hated myself for being a douche like that.

Half an hour had passed and the both of them went out. Sana had a poker face, and Momo looked like she cried

What did Sana do now?

Sana bowed at Momo and stared at me. She chuckled and went close to me. I kept my cold composure, but I was really scared on what's she's going to do, or say. She stopped walking she was about 3 inches away from me..

She leans so she can whisper something to me.
"You won. Now do me a favor and take care of her and let her know her worth. The thing that I couldn't do back then." She stepped back. I didn't say a word. "You'll do that, won't you?" I chuckled, "Even if you don't say that, I'll do it." she smiled. "Good." she patted my shoulder and went off.

I looked at Momo, who was staring at the sky.

"The sky is beautiful, isn't it?"
"It is."
"It has the power to control someone's emotions, making then ease up a bit."
I smiled and looked up. She isn't wrong, the sight of seeing the skies full of stars is actually relaxing.

"Hey, Jeongyeon, can you stay here tonight?"
"W-what? Why?"
"I wanna spend time with you more, and have deep talks about anything."
"We can do that tomorrow morning, though?"
"Isn't midnight talks better?"

I felt a sudden pull on my chest. It was the very first time that she asked me spend time with her. Usually I'm the one who invites her.

What are you onto, Momo?

"Okay, I'll stay here for tonight."

She smiled and invited me inside. I went in and sat at the sofa while Momo went straight to the kitchen to get something.

Momo went to the living room, carrying two mugs of hot tea.
"Thank you." I said. She sat down beside me and sips from her mug.

I stared at her, bothered by the thought that she might dump me. I'm scared if that ever happens right now. But my mind has other thoughts as well.

You, Momo, do you really have feelings for me, or the least...

"What did you and Sana talked about?" I covered my mouth, shocked that I said it aloud.

"Wait, no, don't answer that, Momo." I hid my face, embarrassed that I actually asked that without even me wanting to say it. She didn't said anything, though, she was just chuckling.

"She wanted me back." Momo utters after chuckling. I looked at her.
"You're officially back together?" My eyes failed to meet hers as I ask her.

Am I ready for another heartbreak?

"No, I didn't want her back." I looked at her again, confused this time.
"Why?"
"Because I have you."

My heart skipped a beat. All of my thoughts, they were all the opposite of what is happening now. But why?

"You just throwed your 5 years together?"
"She was the one who throwed it. She admitted that she was seeing Eunha while we were together. She cheated on me, Jeongyeon. And if she done it, there's a chance that she'll do it again. I know I love her, but I have learned my lesson."
"I understand that, but isn't giving her a chance an option? People change, and she might, too."

She smiled and shook her head.
"Even if she did, she isn't what I need anymore. Jeong, in that span of 5 years, I know so well that she didn't understand my situation as a Film Director, but I dismissed that because I loved her so much. I always make time for her everyday even if I had tons of work to do. While for me? Even if we're together she's always busy with something. Either her phone or watching sports. She doesn't notice me when we're together, and when were out, I always caught her checking up girls but I didn't bother to point it out even if I was so jealous."

Momo is actually sharing her experiences.

"Why didn't you pointed it out?"
"Because she promised that I'm the only girl that she would love."
"But is this Eunha girl, is she the only one she was seeing?"
"No, we were 4."
"What?!"
"Lust. I rarely did it with her, because I was always tired when we meet."
"What a fucker."
"Exactly."
"There's this one time that I caught her chatting someone. She was highkey flirting with the girl but I didn't bothered to talk about it."
"Blinded by love?"
"Blinded by love."
"That's so fucked up, Momo."

"Now you know the story, will you still go back to her when she's seeing four girls all at the same time?"
