MOMO'S POV
I guide Sana and Miyeon to the second floor where they'll be staying. It's a pity that this house is huge, I could had end up sleeping with Seokwoo. Just how it happened when I was with the heat... God, that was so embarrassing!

-Momo: And this is your room! (smiles) Miyeon can stay at the room next to this one, just in case she needs something, is that okay?
-Miyeon: Yes! (excited) Can I decorate it with flowers? There's a lot of pretty flowers at the garden (smiles while looking through the window)
-Momo: You'll need to ask Seokwoo for that (smiles)
-Miyeon: Okay, I'll look for him and Namjoon oppa then! (leaves)
-Sana: (smiles) I'm glad she's happy... We don't know how many time are we going to stay here.
-Momo: It depends on how much your boyfriend takes to end with the king and all the corruption (srughs)
-Sana: He's not my boyfriend, at least... Not yet (smiles shyly)
-Momo: Ah, I feel you... This kid, we are obviously into each other, but he never dares to take the next step (sighs and takes a seat) Is it okay if I stay here chatting? Or should I leave you to unpack and so...

-Sana: No, it's okay (smiles) It's the first time I get to talk with a girl of my age freely.
-Momo: (chuckles) Cool... So, what about you?
-Sana: What happens?
-Momo: How did you meet? How far have you gone together? I'm curious (chuckles)
-Sana: We met at palace, at the library (smiles) We both were looking for a book when our hands touched... I guess that our chemistry exploded at the moment.
-Momo: Hmm, too cliche (laughs)
-Sana: I wonder, how did you meet then? You and Seonkwoo...
-Momo: At the forest (smiles) It was... Intense...
-Sana: (gasps) What did you do the first time you met?!
-Momo: It's not what you are thinking off, we didn't even kiss properly yet... (embarrassed)
-Sana: Kiss properly? (curious)
-Momo: Yeah, you know... With tongue, making out (smirks) You didn't reach that neither?
-Sana: Of course not! (blushed) We just hugged... I love being hold in his arms... My back against his chest (smiles)
-Momo: You are too innocent (chuckles) Don't you want to go... A little bit further? What will happen when you get the heat? And when he gets the rut? You should at least start going out before that happens...
-Sana: (sighs) That's something delicated... The rut and the heat... Normally, when I had the heat, I stayed locked in my room.
-Momo: Lucky you, I had to prevent getting raped by anyone at the forest...
-Sana: Is it related to how did you meet? (smirks)
-Momo: Hmm... Not really (chuckles)
-Sana: (laughs)Oh, I thought it was like that how you met ...
-Momo: Anyway, at least I have pecked his lips... You should try it. Just do it casually next time you see him...
-Sana: (touches her lips with her finger) Peck his lips, huh... (smiles) It sounds good... But I don't know when will I see him again.

-Momo: It's okay (smiles and caress her arm) He'll visit you soon

-Momo: It's okay (smiles and caress her arm) He'll visit you soon. Meanwhile, I'll keep you accompanied... (chuckles) Seokwoo is all the day at the city, so he barely focuses on me completely.
-Sana: I see... I'm curious, why are you living together?
-Momo: He saved me... And I belong to a poor family. I'm hiding here because you know that a noble and someone poor can't be together...
-Sana: Yeah, that's sad... Its the same for Junkyu and me. He's a noble, but I belong to the royal family (sighs) The society sucks.
-Momo: But they are fighting to change that, we could say that they are fighting for love (giggles) That makes me happy, it helps me to remain positive about all of this...
-Sana: I should think that way too (smiles)
-Momo: (chuckles) I have the gut feeling that we'll become really great friends...
-Sana: Me too (smiles)
-Momo: (chuckles)

After my girly talk with Sana, I allow her to unpack peacefully so I return to the first floor where Seokwoo is sitting while reading something.

-Momo: (sits next to you) What are you doing? (smiles)
-Seokwoo: Nothing... Reading the letter over and over again (sighs) This feels like a dream, it doesn't feel real.
-Momo: (nods) But it's real, it is really happening...
-Seokwoo: I know... (leaves the letter in the table) Momo, could we really avoid those daring and embarrassing comments in front of everyone? I was really embarrassed before...
-Momo: Oh... Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess that I panicked (smiles and looks down)
-Seokwoo: Why?

 I guess that I panicked (smiles and looks down) -Seokwoo: Why?

-Momo: Sana is really pretty...
-Seokwoo: She is.
-Momo: She is?! How can you say that with me right in front of you? (pouts) I'm hurted, Seokwoo...
-Seokwoo: But its true, she's pretty (srughs) However, you are beautiful. Different kind of women...
-Momo: Uhuh... What kind of woman am I?
-Seokwoo: Hmm... My style (smiles)

Eh? Is he serious?! Did he just say that I'm his style? Yah, Hirai Momo! If this is a dream, you better wake up before you start believing that this is actually happening.

-Seokwoo: Was it too much? (shy) What I meant is that I like you much more than Sana...
-Momo: (blushes)
-Seokwoo: Momo? Why aren't you answering?
-Momo: I'm just overwhelmed, I didn't expect you to say something like that... (shy) You know, I was really close to believe that you like me back...
-Seokwoo: (smiles and remains silent)

I hate when he does exactly this... I hate how he remains silent when I mention him liking me back. I want to know about his real feelings, and this waiting is killing me.

-Seokwoo: Momo.
-Momo: Hmm?
-Seokwoo: I do like you...
-Momo: You mean, you don't hate me?
-Seokwoo: No... (looks down) I like you, my feelings for you are the same as yours...
-Momo: Eh? Seokwoo, kidding with this is not funny, you know?
-Seokwoo: (scratches your nape) But I'm not kidding (serious, clears your throat) I love you.
