Probably everybody in the room would be able to see the tension between two of the people who are heading the project.

Lisa somehow also got involved with his new project that they've got. Wendy told them all yesterday that they would be taking up new projects as long as they're working fine on the earlier ones.

Lisa obviously knows it's to get that coin, but Wendy said something along the lines of 'loving the work ethic here' and whatnot.

Everybody can see how much she loves it.

Seulgi, who Lisa doesn't want to see at all, is also here somehow. And Lisa doesn't know what sort of rivalry the two have but it's definitely something big, considering both of them can't even stay within 3 m distance from each other.

Lisa has her own reasons to stay away from Seulgi but she doesn't know why Wendy is acting this way and she wants to find out. She spots her target and waddles her way to her.

"Hey rose!" Lisa whispers, tapping Rosé's shoulder. The said girl looks back with a jump as she puts her hand on her chest and sighs.

"You! You scared me!" Rosé looks back at the paper she was writing on before. "What happened?"

"Listen, I wanted to ask you something. What's up with Seulgi and Wendy?" As soon as she says it Rosé looks back with a wary expression, that tells Lisa she does know something.

"I-I don't...um know.."

Lisa doesn't let go so easily.

"You know something, come on roseeeee, my beautiful flower, my best friend, spill the tea man." Lisa puts her palm forward trying to look cool as she says the last sentence. She almost closes her eyes with an annoyed expression.

"Look it's....it's no-"

Someone bumps into Lisa and she turns back with speed, ready to curse whoever that is, knowing it's probably someone from their team.

Well, it's not.

"Ohh! Lisa! I'm so sorry!" Seulgi puts her hand behind her head. She looks red from embarrassment.

Lisa can't help but notice the way her cute monolid eyes just disappear as she gives the biggest smile to Lisa. She notices as her eyebrows furrow while muttering some more 'sorrys' and other stuff Lisa doesn't bother to hear.

She has to stop looking.

So she looks back to see Rosé who has already disappeared and is now helping Wendy with something.

Wendy doesn't even need any help! That !

"It's been so long. How are you?" Seulgi mumbles quietly.

Though Lisa is looking down at her 10$ shoes, she can feel Seulgi's eyes fixed on her.

She can't dare to look up.

"Good. Amazing." Lisa looks up slightly only to look here and there again.

"Good." That's all Seulgi says. Lisa kind of wants her to talk more but this silence is getting awkward now.

She smiles bitterly.

Their silence was never awkward for Lisa, but it is now.

When Seulgi says nothing more Lisa manages to flash a little smile and turns around to find Rosé, she interrupted though.

"Lisa?"

Lisa cannot see the other's face but based on her voice she can decipher that Seulgi is confused, maybe just maybe sad.

But then again Lisa loves to create realities that are not true.

"Yes?" She looks back, because it's rude to talk to someone while facing back, absolutely not because she wants to see the face she adores too much to her liking.

"Umm...are you...uhh..do you have alot of work these days?" Seulgi is looking down and stuttering, this leaves Lisa confused and so she doesn't answer. Seulgi finally looks up and maybe she notices Lisa's confusion, so she explains. "It's- it's just that you don't come to practice anymore. I thought you....you loved it."

This stirs up so many emotions in Lisa.

How can she not like this cute and kind person in front of her? The way Seulgi fidgets with her ring tells her that she's embarrassed. Maybe she missed Lisa to-

Ring?

Of course, ring. She's taken.

"I won't come anymore."

Lisa just turns and moves away.

Rude? She knows.

So not Lisa? She knows.

She didn't even wait to see Seulgi's face. But she knows her smile would have fallen.

That beautiful smile.

"Go talk to her, Wen." Rosé nudges Wendy and points to Seulgi with her eye.

"What do you mean?" Wendy keeps looking at the set, trying to analyze if everything fits.

"You know what I mean. The team is not able to work properly because of you guys. Wendy, I know it must be hard, but you have to be professional."

Rosé had been seeing the two since the starting. It's not just today, it's been 3 days since this has been happening. The past Friday, Saturday, Sunday (yes, they had to work on their rest day too) have been the exact same and she's determined to let the two (ex) best friends figure stuff out.

Wendy looks down, her face now out of sight. "I-I'm...I know I'm so sorry chippie." Her voice sounds weak, but more than that she actually sounds very sorry.

Rosé holds both of her hands and squeezes them.

"You don't have to be sorry. Look it's been 12 years and I'm sure it would be better if you just figure things out. She would want that too."

"It's not that....I know I would've....t-talked to her by now but..but knowing about Irene, w-who now likes the name Joohyun more now.." Wendy chuckles bitterly. "....I just...I.."

"Hey...hey it's okay. Don't stress too much. And don't think about Irene anymore." Rosé leaves her hands and places them both on Wendy's cheeks. "Try to think about work, what you came here to do. If you can't talk to Seulgi, don't think of her as the person you knew 12 years ago, think of her as a co-worker."

Rosé knows this is not good advice and would just be a short-term solution, but Wendy always gets so affected whenever it comes to Irene that she just can't keep the conversation going. But she understands Wendy too, not everybody would get to see their ex-wife so happy and probably in love with their ex-best friend.

Rosé is also kind of curious as to what in the world happened that Seulgi who Wendy claims was a total goofball had to date Irene, her own best friend's ex-wife and vice-versa.

But she tries not to judge anybody before knowing the whole story.

"But I know I need to talk to her, it won't work like this." Wendy seems determined now, not weak like before. Rosé nods in encouragement.

Just then they hear a cough and look to their right, with Rosé pulling her arms off of Wendy's cheeks.

"Uhh Chaeyoung they umm need you guys over there." Seulgi points over to Taehyung with one of her hands as she pinches the bridge of her nose with the other.

Rosé is about to answer but to her surprise, Wendy does it first.

"Why don't you tell them to take a break."

Apparently it surprises Seulgi way more that Rosé, because is literally open as she does a little nod.

Rosé wonders if the CEO material Seulgi is always awkward like that.

Rosé knows it wouldn't be a big break and she's shocked when it's already 5 minutes and they're still not resuming the work.

Maybe Wendy has lost it.

After some minutes more of drinking her coffee she moves around the big space.

In the corner she finds Sana sitting on a chair and writing something. It looks like she's still working. Well, she's trying her best to, but she's dozing off again and again. Rosé decides to talk to her.
