'I was afraid. but when you hold my hand I feel safe'

Momo released a breath, staring at ceiling. She was lying on bed but her eyes resisted to be closed yet. Mina's words kept replaying inside her head. Every time she closed her eyes she would see the girl with drops of rain running down her face. Adding to that even now she could feel those lips moving gently against her. She had kissed Mina back. Although she thought it was part of her boy-disguising thing, but she wondered about the feeling it brought in to her. If it was only acting then why her heart fluttered when Mina kissed her or looked at her. 'Does it mean I like her?'

Her eyes widened and she shook her head swiftly. "No, no, I don't see girl that way," she mumbled. "I'm a girl too so it means I should like guy. Yes, it should be a guy not a girl."

Her mind then went to the mysterious dancer. After they got caught by Mrs. Bae and Mina, Tzuyu decided they skip street dance for a while so she didn't meet him. Somehow she was curious about him. It was a little shock for telling the truth since she never thought about guy before. But that night he surely had sent a shiver down her spin. Even now she couldn't forget his attractive smile. 'Wait, it means I'm attracted to him?'

"What on earth has happened to me?" Momo rubbed her face. She glanced toward her roommate. Jeongyeon was deep in her sleep. If she told Jeongyeon, the girl would undoubtedly tease her. Perhaps Tzuyu was the right person if she wanted to have girl talk.

"Hold on, since when I have girl talk?"

Momo covered face with pillow and groaned. "Oh god I hate this stuff."

-

Tzuyu noticed Momo's cloudy face. Momo was eating her breakfast in silence. She laid yogurt spoon on tray before leaning toward the girl.

"You okay? You seem to have no appetite this morning, what's wrong?"

Momo fidgeted with her spoon before putting it down on plate.

"Just sleepy."

"Sleepy?" Tzuyu asked. She sensed something was bothering Momo. "Miss your girlfriend?" She let out a laugh as Momo looked at her in annoyance. "Sorry. But seriously what's wrong? You know, you can talk to me or Kyungwan."

At the mention of her boy's name Jeongyeon's turned her head. "I heard my name, what's up?"

"Nothing," Momo replied and Jeongyeon turned back to talk with Nayeon and some girls. "It's alright really, just can't wait to know about the festival." It wasn't the time and place to talk.

"I'm excited too," Tzuyu said "I wonder what kind of performance we will have for the festival. You think we will sing again, like at annual party?"

"Perhaps, I don't know. That's why I'm curious. I heard..." Momo stopped when Tzuyu moved gaze up to someone behind her. She turned head around and was surprised to find the person.

Tzuyu and other students quickly rose up, moving to another chair.

"Hi, Haru," Mina greeted. She took a chair beside Mina and sat down.

"Uh, hi," Momo replied. Suddenly the large hall turned silent. Everyone in dining room was looking at them. 'Now everyone will think we're really dating, great'

"Hey, what's wrong? You didn't eat your breakfast," Mina said "You don't feel well? Do you have cold?" She reached for his forehead.

Momo moved head away. "I'm fine." Now it turned noisy with whispers and squeals. 'This is embarrassing' She couldn't lift her head as blush slowly made its way up to her face.

"Just ignore them," Mina said. She sent glare toward other students around them. They quickly moved their gazes away, starting to eat their meal. She rolled her eyes and turned to Haru. Haru still looked down at hands on lap.

Momo thought to leave the place for she couldn't stand attention from hundreds of students. Just when she was about to leave Mina took her wrist, pulling her up. She was confused when Mina took her out from dining room. "What are you doing?" she asked as they walked across formal garden. Mina didn't reply her.

Momo finally realized the girl was about to take her to president council office.

"Let me go!"

Mina stopped to face the boy. She knitted her brows at Haru's flushed face.

"Haru..."

"Are you crazy?" Momo cut the girl off. "Dragging me out in front of hundreds people. Who the hell do you think you are?" She sucked in a deep breath. "Kissing, hugging people as you wish,"

"Haru, are you alright?" Mina asked, worried. She noticed Haru's rage breath. She reached for his arm but he slapped it away.

"Why the hell do you care?" Momo retorted. Suddenly she felt dizzy. "I don't need your..." Her voice died as blackness enveloped her.

Mina quickly caught Haru's slumped body, bringing it down with her. "Haru?" she called and shook his shoulder. She took his cheek and felt hot skin against her palm.

"Haru?!"

Mina panicked and took her phone. Moment later her classmates came. They helped her to take Haru to president council office since it was nearer than health care.

Mina told the boys to call school doctor and they left them alone. She approached her desk, grabbing her bag. She then went to sink to wet her handkerchief. She walked hurriedly back to sofa where the fainted Haru was lying. She kneeled beside him and laid the wet handkerchief over his forehead. "Haru, do you hear me?" she called. She took his cheek. Haru let out small hum.

"Haru..."

Momo tried to focus her eyes. "Where am I?" She turned her head when she felt hand over her own.

"Mina?"

"My office. You fainted so I take you here," Mina said. She put her other hand over his shoulder.

"You should rest in your room if you don't feel well."

"I thought I'll be fine," Momo said. She then remembered that she had gotten angry at Mina earlier.

"I'm sorry, about earlier..."

Mina offered small smile, nodding. "You make me worried, you know."

Momo couldn't find any word to reply. She could see the concern in the girl's eyes. Mina caressed her shoulder with thumb. Looking at Mina's deep brown eyes and feeling the gentle touch the confused feeling once again came upon her. It confused her for she had never felt it before. It scared her a little.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Mina asked. Haru was still looking at her. "You still feel dizzy? Or perhaps, stunned with my beauty?" she said, small grin on face. "You can stare as long as you want, for you it's free."

Momo rolled her eyes but smiled nonetheless. "Still narcissistic girl," she said and got a pinch on arm. She blushed deeper when Mina leaned toward her. She thought the girl would kiss her but Mina placed her forehead against her.

"You still have fever," Mina said and looked down at her wristwatch.

"What's taking him so long?"

"Him?:

"Health care doctor, I told my friends to call him. He'll be soon here," Mina said.

At the mention of the word Momo's eyes widened. "No need, I'm fine," she said. She quickly pushed body up but only to increase her dizziness. "My head,"

Mina seated herself behind Haru, catching his body. "What are you doing? You shouldn't move yet." She held his forearms when he was about to lean off. "I said don't move. Why are you so stubborn?"

"Okay, geez. You're like my mother now," Momo said and cleared her throat, embarrassed.

Mina pulled Haru's body to rest against her.

Momo blamed fever for her blushing. Thinking she had no choice she leaned her head on Mina's shoulder. It was embarrassing but surprisingly comfortable with the girl's arms around her. 'Is it lavender?' She wondered at the flowery perfume. 'Damn fever, I can't think straight now'

"You need a drink?" Mina asked.

Momo shook her head.

"Try sleep for a while. I'll wake you if he comes," Mina said. She leaned her head on Haru's. As she felt his hot body she felt guilty.

"I'm sorry."

Momo had closed her eyes but when she heard Mina's small apology she slid eyelids up. "For what?"

"It's because of the rain you got a cold, it's my fault."

Although her eyes were heavy but Momo forced it open. She then decided to tease the girl.

"Yes, your fault. But I will forgive you, if..."

"If?" Mina waited.

"If you promise won't hug or kiss or do anything in front of other people," Momo said. She pressed lips together to hold smile. There was pregnant pause before small reply came from the girl.

"I promise."

Momo was taken aback for a moment. Honestly she was expecting the girl would be pouting.

"Really? You really won't do hug, or..."

Mina gave light nod.

"Oh, okay." Momo could only manage weak mumble out from her mouth. Sound of door open got their attention.

"Where's the...oops, sorry, I didn't interrupt anything, did I?"

Mina rolled her eyes. She gently pushed Haru's body, helping him to sit. She stepped back, letting the doctor to take a look on him. She decided to tell Mrs. Bae about Haru while waiting.

Momo held mouth open as the doctor looked inside. He turned the torch off and gave a small nod. She closed her mouth and saw the doctor taking stethoscope. "I think I'm fine, just a cold." She gave a nod to assure him. The doctor finally put stethoscope head back into robe chest pocket.

"As you said, you do have cold. Come to health care room and I will give you medicine, and you'll soon get better."

Momo gave small bow when the doctor patted her shoulder. The doctor then approached Mina and they talked for a while before leaving the room. She took her necktie off.

Mina sat down on sofa beside Momo. "I told my friend to get your medicine so you don't have to go."

"I can go by myself."

"It's alright. I'd called Mrs. Bae too so you can rest for the day. Your friend will take care of your bag," Mina said and leave to pour warm tea for Haru.

Momo took tea-cup from Mina. "Thanks, I mean thank you. And sorry for troubling you."

Mina smiled and sat back beside him. "Don't worry, well, I like taking care of you." She giggled at his blushed face.

The door once again opened and a boy came in with Haru's medicine. Mina took the medicine from the boy.

"So, this is your medicine, but you need to eat something first since you didn't eat any," Mina said and cocked head.

Momo smiled sheepishly.

"Just wait here, I'll get something for you," Mina said.

"Don't go anywhere, okay? If I find you're not here, trust me you'll get detention."

Momo let out small laugh and nodded. "Yes, ma'am."

"Good," Mina said, walking toward door.

After Mina left the room she pulled out her phone and sent messages to her friends. Tzuyu and Jeongyeon must be worried about her. She emptied her cup and decided to lie down while waiting for Mina.

Later, Mina came up with tray in hands.

"Your meal."

"Thanks," Momo said.

"Welcome," Mina replied. She put the tray on table before Haru, taking the empty cup to fill it up, and sitting beside him.

"Why don't you eat? You still feel dizzy?"

Momo nodded lightly. Mina helped her up before taking porridge bowl.

"I can eat by myself." Momo reached for the bowl but Mina pulled it away from her.

"I want to help you," Mina said. She spooned up porridge and brought it to him.

"Here be careful. Is it okay?"

Momo nodded.

"I wish I have made it myself."

Momo let out a chuckle but then coughed. She took cup from Mina, gulping the warm tea down.

"Shouldn't you leave now?"

"It's alright, I have little time," Mina said. She took porridge to feed Haru. But then the bell rang.

"You should go. Don't worry I can handle porridge," Momo said.

"But I want to stay here with you."

Momo gazed at the girl beside her; didn't know what to reply. She reached over to take the spoon but instead she took Mina's hand. She quickly pulled her hand back, clearing her throat. She glanced toward Mina and saw small smile on the girl's face.

"Uh, your class."

Mina lifted her gaze and their eyes met. She noticed Haru was trying to hold back smile and she blushed slightly. "Oh no, I'm late." She handed the bowl to Haru, taking her bag. "You think can stay alone?"

"I'll do just fine. I will leave to dorm and rest," Momo replied and caught disappointment on Mina's face. Mina then took her hand. She looked down at small piece of paper with numbers written on it.

"My phone number," Mina said. "Call me if you need anything, okay? I'm sorry can't stay with you."

Momo couldn't hold back a small smile. Mina surprised her by leaning down and kissing her forehead.

"Get better soon."

Momo once again felt the warm feeling. She watched as Mina walked toward door.

"Mina."

Mina stopped at door. "Yes?"

"Uh, thank you," Momo said.

Mina gave small nod and smiled.

Even after Mina left the room Momo couldn't wipe the smile off. She finished the meal and took her medicine. After feeling strong enough she then left to dorm. She changed her uniforms and slid under blanket. She was awoken hours later feeling better when Jeongyeon and Tzuyu came back from school.
