"Jihyo, we're gonna be late for school." Sana shouted, dusting dirt off her shoes. Mina left early for some apparent reason, though, she was always the last person to get out of the house. She's been moody and quieter lately..

   As for Jungyeon, she sent texts and calls here and there, but hasn't come home since the day of her confession about Mina's 'thing' with Chaeyoung. Jihyo was the last person she called, and her luck increased as Mina didn't attempt to do anything. Let's just say, everything is chaotic for everyone.

   Entering English class, Mina, Dahyun, and Chaeyoung were already seated on their chairs. For Tzuyu, she's always late for first period. As long as she gets to class, the teacher didn't care. "Where's Momo?" Sana asked, standing in front of the two youngest (Dubu-Chae).

   "You didn't know? She went back to Japan." Dahyun said, looking down on her phone.

   "If I did, I wouldn't have asked. Why'd she go back without telling me?"

   "Uh.. She's only going to be there for a week or so, depending on how her grandpa's health is. Since it's only for some days, Momo didn't bother to tell anyone."

   "Ahh, okay." Sana headed to her seat, which was next to Mina, who kept staring at Chaeyoung's direction. A sigh coming out from the younger girl questioned Sana. "Are you okay? Come on Mina, didn't we promise each other not to keep secrets from each other?" The latter averted her eyes from Chaeyoung, now facing Sana dead in the eye. It took her a few minutes to speak up.

   "She's been playing me all along. Everything from the start was a lie. I expressed my love for her, but she was pretending." The dim room wasn't enough for Sana to see the tears in Mina's eyes. The latter sobbed, trying to hold the tears back, but they just kept on falling.

   Dahyun noticed the situation. Not wanting to make anything else worse, she decided to take Chaeyoung out to distract her from looking.

   "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." Sana felt the sadness Mina was facing.

   "N-No... You.... Didn't even... Know what my.. Problem was... You were doing... That right thing.." Mina sniffled, trying to hold it together.

   "Please don't cry. You loved her till the end. A girl like that doesn't deserve a person like you. No one should be played just for their own fun and games. In the future, you'll definitely find someone who loves you back." Mina gave a weak smile and wiped her tears.
   "You're most of the time blunt with your words, but today, you really helped me out. Thank you." Sana received a great big hug from Mina. She was glad she could help a little.

   Mina pulled back, now pointing towards the door. "Hey, the Queen is here, and she's exceptionally early." Sana turned her head, seeing Tzuyu walk the opposite direction of them. "Go on, I'm okay." Mina said, lightly pushing her off the chair.

   As Sana walks over to the latter, she notices Tzuyu looking away from her. "Hi!" Sana said with a happy tone in her voice. There was no response from the tall girl. "Tzu-" Once again, Sana tries speaking, but gets interrupted by the frustrated looking girl.

   "Please... Could you just leave me alone for a bit? I'm not feeling well..." The annoyance coming from Tzuyu's voice was new to her. It felt overwhelming and scary. Just a few days ago, they were smiling and having fun. What happened?

   Sana walked back to her seat, not saying another word to the latter.
"There's something going on... But what..?" Sana thought.

   "Don't you think the foreigners are being a bit suspicious lately?" Sana whispered onto Mina's ears.

   "Hey, hey. Look at this awesome book!" Mina gave her a small piece of paper saying they shouldn't talk about something like this in school. The younger girl directed her eyes to Tzuyu, who might be listening to their conversation. She learned enough words to understand what they were saying. Sana covered and apologized continuously until the Mina stopped her.

   After school, Jihyo, Mina, and Sana walked straight home. Locking every single door and window someone could possibly enter. "We didn't have to do this, you know? What's even going on?" Jihyo laid on the couch, grabbing a magazine from the small
