“Where’s your confidence?” Minju teases, reaching over to pinch at her sides. She looks at Yujin with a smile so warm and sincere it could bloom flowers in January — a smile like that. “I like that the best about you.”

But Kaeun still thinks Sakura is the most beautiful girl in the competition––the most beautiful girl she’s ever seen, even though she’ll never admit it. The rest of them never even stood a chance, she thinks, and she’s oddly not bitter about it.

“Oh, they want people who are good with fire and cooking and stuff, and who can climb trees. You climb the tree outside of my bedroom all the time, unnie, this would be perfect for us.” Or: Eunbi and Chaeyeon as Girl Scout troop leaders (and future bad parents?) 

The truth? After a series of accidental phone conversations, Sakura thinks about Chaeyeon too much these days.

Okay, so they're back to the start again: Kaeun turning on Sakura with a look that could turn her blood to ice. “It’s just a joke,” Sakura manages shakily, but without any real conviction. Kaeun studiously stares everywhere but at another person, and the panic on her face is setting off major alarm bells in Sakura’s head.
