Missing Memories (Tzuyu X TWICE)

Chapter 9

Tzuyu giggled at Momo's declaration. She reached for another piece of kimbap, but, before she could grab a piece, Momo already had another piece ready to feed Tzuyu. The younger girl had no choice but to accept the kimbap.

The plate of kimbap vanished as quickly as it came. Tzuyu was fed over half of the plate by Momo. She was currently sitting back in her seat trying to digest all of the food she was fed. Her eyes were already drooping down from the aftereffects of eating so much.

"Tired?" Momo asked.

Tzuyu lazily nodded her head, "I appreciate that we came here, but is there a reason why you only ordered kimbap?"

Momo leaned forward in her seat, "I was hoping that you would remember something from TWICE TV if you ate kimbap."

Tzuyu opened her eyes and looked at Momo with a confused look. She thought for a few moments. Nothing came to mind. She opened her mouth to reply, but a memory suddenly came to her.

"Kim Tzuyu!" Tzuyu exclaimed.

Momo smiled at the look of excitement on Tzuyu's face, "Exactly! You made kimbap as part of a TWICE TV segment."

"Thank you, Momo!" Tzuyu excitedly reached forward and held Momo's hand.

Momo smiled at the younger girl's actions, "Of course, I would do anything for my precious maknae. But, ummm..."

"Is there something wrong?" Tzuyu asked when she noticed Momo's hesitation.

"Can you let go of my hands?" Momo asked while she looked at their hands.

Tzuyu looked down and quickly separated their hands when she realized what she had done, "Ah! I-I'm sorry," she stuttered, while a blush started to form on her cheeks.

"It's fine, Tzuyu. I like seeing you excited like this. It makes me feel happy knowing that you are happy," Momo stated with a wide smile.

Tzuyu's heart raced at Momo's statement. There was sincerity in Momo's words which made Tzuyu feel warm inside. Tzuyu really wanted to continue to hear those pure words and happiness coming from Momo.

Tzuyu suddenly got an idea, "Momo, let's go eat jokbal."

Momo's expression brighten even brighter than before at Tzuyu's suggestion, "Really?!"

Tzuyu nodded, "Of course, let's go," she started to stand up.

Momo stopped Tzuyu before she could stand up, "Are you sure about this?" she asked with a questioning look.

Tzuyu giggled, "Of course I am sure."

Momo quickly paid for their food. She grabbed Tzuyu by the hand and started dragging her out of the restaurant. She already knew where to get the best jokbal and started walking in its direction.

Tzuyu was happy to see how excited Momo looked when she mentioned eating jokbal, but her focus was pinned on their intertwined hands. Although she was blushing before, Tzuyu now felt warm just by holding the older girl's hand. She squeezed the older girl's hand, hoping to feel warmer, which went unnoticed by Momo who was focused on getting to the jokbal restaurant.

Momo released their hands when they arrived at the restaurant. Tzuyu frowned at the lost warmth but smiled when she saw Momo's smile.

Momo led the two of them into the restaurant. A waiter brought them to an available table. Momo ordered two plates of jokbal the moment she sat down. Tzuyu thought it was a lot of food considering the portion that she could see from the table beside them but decided to shake the thought off.

The two made small chat while waiting for their food to arrive. Momo talked about her love for jokbal. She explained about the different ways she likes to eat the delicacy, as she would call it. Tzuyu was not interested in the topic in general, but the smile on Momo's face as she confessed her love for jokbal made Tzuyu want to listen to the older girl talk.
