Work Text:
“Momo is so dense.” Sana sighs, flicking through channels on the Tv.
“What do you mean?” Mina asks, shoving popcorn in her mouth.
“I love her all but she’s just a little behind sometimes.” Sana pouts.
“Cut her some slack I’m sure she gets things.” Mina justifies. Just because Momo may be a little slow at times she’s not dumb.
“Someone could literally be flirting with her and she still wouldn’t get it.” The brunette groans.
“Ok let’s bet.” Chaeyoung joins, giving Sana a wide smirk. “Sana unnie, flirt with Momo unnie,” Sana’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“What?”
“Like do anything you would do to someone you’d be romantically interested in to Momo unnie.” Sana’s mouth drops. “Then we can bet whether or not she confronts you or asks you if you like her. I’m going for no she doesn’t notice.”
“Then I’ll go for yes.” Mina adds.
“What?” Sana repeats looking at the two girls clearly plotting something.
“Come onnnn, it’s a small bet. We can stop after a month or something.” If possible Sana’s mouth dropped even more.
“No, I’m not going to flirt with Momo just so a point could be proven.” She exclaims.
“You flirt with everyone in the group anyways, just do more towards her.” Sana shakes her head rapidly.
“What do I get in this?” Sana asks.
“To be right?” Chaeyoung shrugs. “This can just be a bet between us three, maybe four if Momo ever finds out. No one else will know. It can do no harm whatsoever,” Sana groans.
“Fine, I’ll start tomorrow.” The three girls shake hands and Sana leaves the two girl’s shared dorm and heads back to hers.
How is Sana supposed to flirt with Momo. They’ve been friends for the longest in their group. And since Momo isn’t really affectionate they barely do any form of physical touch. Unless Sana initiates. Which is all the time. But she still argues that it’s different.
She spends the whole night looking up pick up lines to use with Momo. Maybe she should try basic ones?
Sana takes a deep breath in preparing herself for any opportunities to slide in any of the pick up lines she read last night. Then while looking inside the refrigerator for breakfast an idea pops into her mind. Momo was over at the island along with Chaeyoung and Jihyo. Eating a big bowl of yogurt for breakfast. Sana calms her beating heart and walks over to her conquest holding two items in hand.
“Momo,” the wide eyed girl looks up. “Do you want raisins with that?” Momo frowns looking from her bowl to Sana. “Or how about a date?” Sana shakes the plastic container.
“Ew, I don’t like dry fruits.” Beside her Chaeyoung is doing a bad job at muffling her laughs while Jihyo looks at Sana with a concerned face. First attempt was a horrible failure. It probably didn’t seem like a pick up line just Sana not knowing her best friend’s preference in fruit.
She tries another line again. This time with a wider audience. “Momo.” Sana flops down next to her on the couch. She hands Momo her phone. “Something is wrong with my phone.” Momo furrows her eyebrows taking the device in hand.
“What’s wrong with it?” She looks around, turning the electronic device on and off.
“It doesn’t have your number in it.” Chaeyoung bursts out laughing and Nayeon gives her a judgy look.
“Really? That’s weird.” Momo mumbles. “Just enter it in again. Are there any other missing contacts?” Sana awkwardly chuckled.
“Nope.” She snatches her phone back and leaves the room in a rush. Another bad pick up line since she already had Momo’s number in her phone and that only works for strangers.
Okay so, the first day was a complete fail. Sana could only get out two pick up lines that didn’t work at all. The rest of the day she could barely even see Momo due to her spending a few hours at the studio and not being able to get a chance to intercept in conversations when she wasn’t practicing.
Maybe she needs to lay it on thicker? Bright in the morning Sana knocks on Momo’s bedroom door. “Momoring.” After getting no response Sana walks in. Seeing Momo completely knocked out in bed. Momo groans loudly, feeling Sana’s hand tapping her awake.
“Give me another hour,” she mumbles.
“If being beautiful was a crime you’d be incredibly guilty.” Momo made an indescribable noise and slowly got up.
“What did you say?” Momo looks up at Sana.
“Even though you have bed hair and drool, you still look so cute.” Momo slaps Sana lightly on the arm.
“You look so incredibly sick.” Momo grunts in confusion. Because didn’t this girl just call her pretty? “You must be lacking some vitamin me.”
“I’ve never heard of that. I’ll get some supplements later I guess.” Sana groans and leaves the room. Momo doesn’t think twice before shutting her eyes again.
When Nayeon asks Sana to join for lunch she wanted to say no but Momo was going. So there wasn’t much of a choice anyways. When Sana finally got to walk side by side with Momo she shot out another line. “Your hand looks heavy. Let me hold it.” She intertwined her fingers with Momo. Clutching onto her arm as she does so. Momo doesn’t object or say anything.
After ordering their food at a local cafe Momo trips walking up to the cashier. While Nayeon orders for them all the rest of the four girls stand behind her awkwardly teasing Momo for her clumsiness.
“Did you tie your shoelaces? I don’t want you falling for anyone else.” Mina lets out a small giggle while Dahyun just smiles like she’s confused.
“I’m wearing Velcro.” Momo replies, following Nayeon to their seat.
“This is not working, Chaeyoung is winning.” Sana whispers to Mina.
“Because you're barely flirting. Work harder. Otherwise i have to do Chaeyoung’s dirty laundry for two months.” Sana groans speed walking to their table sliding into the seat next to Momo.
Sana turned her phone screen on the lowest possible lighting searching for new methods on how to flirt.
‘How to flirt’
‘How to flirt with your friend’
‘How to let someone know you’re flirting’
‘Top seven ways to make your friend fall for you’ That one may be excessive. Sana wasn’t trying to make Momo fall for her. Just maybe make it a little more obvious to Momo.
They all said pretty much the same thing. More physical touch towards them. They’re both touchy enough. Do thoughtful things for them. Maintain eye contact. Ask questions about them. Be honest to them. Last one is definitely not going to work.
Sana rolls her eyes at the unhelpful advice, turning off her phone when their respective meals arrive. A few minutes deep into a conversation about where they plan on visiting on their next tour to America. Sana looks over to Momo chomping down on her Caesar salad.
“Momo,” when the older girl faces her Sana brings a napkin up to her mouth. “You eat so messily.” She teases, wiping the corners of her mouth. Momo’s eyes widened as she gently pushed Sana's hand away.
“Thank you,” she mumbles before taking a forkful of lettuce and sauce into her mouth. Dirtying the corners of her mouth again.
After a week in of Sana dropping horrible pick up lines and trying to be more ‘thoughtful’ towards Momo. Momo finally figured something was off.
“Nayeon unnie, something is wrong with Sana.”
“What?”
“She’s been saying,” Momo looks up trying to come up with an explanation. “weird things to me and doing weird things.” Nayeon smirks. The interactions between the two girls definitely did not go unnoticed by the other members.
“Like what.”
“The other day she asked if we had chemistry together.” Nayeon stifles a laugh. “We didn’t go to the same school, or grow up in the same place.” Momo glares at the older girl.
“And, she keeps calling me cute.” Nayeon lets out a small giggle. “And she’s been way too touchy with me. I don’t mind it but it’s just weird.”
“Has she said anything else?” Nayeon asks.
“Yes a lot, like this morning, I took photos for her instagram account and she asked if I was a photographer because she could picture us together. And she asked me to pinch her because I’m so cute it’s unreal and that she has to be dreaming.”
“Anything else? I don’t think this is that weird.” Nayeon lies.
“She asked to borrow a kiss from me.” Nayeon’s eyes bulged out.
“What did you do?”
“I kissed her cheek, then she left me alone for the rest of that day.” She says as if that’s a normal response.
Momo’s conversation with Nayeon has led her to think that maybe Sana was flirting with her? It could be possible. It would kind of explain how Sana kept gushing over how pretty Momo was at every chance she gets.
“Momo,” she gets snapped out of her thoughts. “What are you thinking about?”
“Remember the other day when you asked to borrow a kiss?”
“Yeah?”
“Can I get it back?” Momo could feel how Sana’s whole body tenses. She lifts her head from Momo’s shoulder, inhales sharply then places her lips on Momo’s cheeks.
“You’ve been saying a lot of- I guess pick up lines to me.”
“Oh, you noticed?” Momo furrows her eyebrows and pouts.
“Of course. It took some time but you were acting weird.”
“Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.” Sana hugs Momo’s arm. “It was just a bet.”
“Oh. Right a bet.” Momo mutters and smacks herself mentally for thinking that Sana could’ve possibly liked her.
“Are you mad?” Sana starts spiraling the moment Momo goes quiet. “Sorry, I don’t usually take bets about you. Or like I don’t ever take them against you.” She nervously laughs. “Yes, I thought you wouldn’t notice but that doesn’t mean I think any less of you. I’ll do anything so you’re not mad at me.” Right when Sana was about to rant again Momo covers her mouth.
“Ok, would you be willing to kiss me?” Momo takes her hand off. Sana blushes and nods.
“Sure if you want.” Sana leans back up, laying another kiss on Momo’s cheek.
“Do you forgive me now?”
“No,” Sana whines.
“Kiss me on the lips. Then I’ll forgive you.” Sana laughs as if Momo was joking. But seeing the serious look in her eye her smile immediately dropped.
“So you want a kiss from me?” Sana asks for confirmation.
“Yes.” Sana didn’t expect honesty, or Momo's hand slowly sliding up her cheek. “Can I?” Sana hesitantly nods.
Her worries washed away the moment she felt Momo’s soft and plump lip against hers. And butterflies erupting in her stomach. As quick as it happens was as quick as it ended. Momo quickly pulled away after two seconds. “Your lips look lonely-“ before Sana could finish her line Momo leaned back in. Kissing Sana with more passion and even more sparks between the two girls.
It was all tongue and teeth. Sana bites down on Momo’s lower lip earning a quiet moan from the other girl. Sana wraps her arm around Momo’s neck pulling her closer. While Momo grips hard onto Sana’s thigh.
Momo pulls away. “Let’s do this somewhere else. And you’re forgiven.” They both break out in laughter.
“I guess Chaeyoung loses the bet.”
