The next day, Chaeyoung and Mina woke up to find themselves facing each other in Chaeyoung's room, the soft morning light filtering in through the curtains. Both girls blinked in surprise as they realized their close proximity upon waking up.

Before Chaeyoung could react, Mina's eyes widened, and in a moment of shock or perhaps playful mischief, she playfully pushed Chaeyoung out of bed with a surprised gasp. Chaeyoung landed on the floor with a thud, momentarily bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

"Ouch"

Rubbing her shoulder where she had landed, Chaeyoung couldn't help but chuckle at Mina's spontaneous reaction. "I guess that's one way to wake someone up," she teased, a hint of laughter in her voice.

Mina, slightly embarrassed by her impulsive action, quickly apologized, her cheeks flushing with a mix of amusement and sheepishness.

"I'm sorry, Chaeyoung! I didn't mean to push you like that. I just got startled," she explained, offering a sheepish smile.

Gathering herself from the floor, Chaeyoung reassured Mina with a good-natured grin, "It's okay, Mina. No harm done. We can consider it an unconventional wake-up call."

As the initial surprise faded, the two shared a lighthearted moment, laughing off the unexpected morning antics. With a shared moment and a newfound memory to chuckle about, Chaeyoung and Mina began their day with smiles and good spirits, ready to embark on whatever adventures awaited them.

As the morning unfolded, Mina took it upon herself to whip up a hearty breakfast for both Chaeyoung and herself, determined to turn the day into a memorable one despite the earlier mishap. The aroma of sizzling eggs and toasting bread filled the air, adding a touch of warmth to the cozy atmosphere of Chaeyoung's apartment.

With plates of delicious food in hand, Mina and Chaeyoung settled at the table, their laughter ringing through the room as they exchanged amusing stories and shared newfound details about each other. The barriers that once stood between them seemed to melt away in the joyous atmosphere of breakfast, allowing their friendship to blossom further.

However, the tranquility of their morning was suddenly interrupted as Chaeyoung's bedroom door burst open, revealing Tzuyu and Dahyun standing in the doorway, their expressions a mix of shock and surprise at the unexpected sight of Mina inside.

"Whoa, Mina, what are you doing here?" Dahyun exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief as she took in the scene before her.

Tzuyu's eyebrows shot up in surprise as she scanned the room, eventually locking eyes with Chaeyoung, who could only muster an awkward smile in response to the unexpected intrusion.

Mina, unfazed by the sudden appearance of Tzuyu and Dahyun, greeted them warmly, gesturing towards the breakfast spread on the table. "Good morning, Tzuyu, Dahyun! I thought I'd cook breakfast for Chaeyoung and myself. Care to join us?" she offered, extending a warm invitation to her unexpected guests.

Tzuyu and Dahyun exchanged a glance before sharing a smile, their initial shock giving way to amusement at the scene laid out before them. With a shared laugh, they accepted Mina's invitation, pulling up chairs to join the impromptu breakfast gathering.

As the group shared in the morning meal and lively conversation, the newfound moment among the friends continued to flourish, solidifying the bond between them.

After the breakfast, Mina excused herself to prepare to head home, Dahyun and Tzuyu took the opportunity to playfully tease Chaeyoung, their mischievous grins hinting at the upcoming banter.

"So, Chaeyoung, why didn't you tell us you had a secret guest staying over?" Dahyun quipped, raising an eyebrow suggestively as she nudged Tzuyu, who was trying her best to contain her laughter.

Chaeyoung's cheeks flushed at the teasing, a mixture of embarrassment and amusement coloring her expression. "It's not like that, guys. Mina just needed a place to stay last night," she explained, attempting to deflect their teasing with a good-natured smile.

Tzuyu chimed in with a teasing glint in her eye, "Sure, just a friendly sleepover, right? Nothing to see here, huh, Chaeyoung?"

Before Chaeyoung could respond, Mina emerged from the restroom, her presence changing the playful dynamic in the room. Sensing the shift, Dahyun and Tzuyu quickly changed the subject, smoothly transitioning into plans for the day.

"Hey, Mina, why don't you come with us to the mall today? We were planning to go shopping and grab some food. It'll be fun!" Dahyun suggested, her eyes shining with excitement at the prospect of a day out with friends.

Mina smiled warmly at the invitation, touched by their inclusivity. "That sounds like a great idea! I'd love to join you", she replied, grateful for the chance to spend more time with Chaeyoung and her friends.

As Chaeyoung finished preparing to go out with Mina, Dahyun, and Tzuyu, the group decided to head to Mina's apartment to wait for her while she got ready. Excited for a day out together, they entered Mina's apartment, eag
