“Yah! Choi Sungmin! Joon Min Hae! I said wait!” Maehwa yells, running up behind Kiara. She is carrying a giant box wrapped in a bright pink wrapping with white polka dots. Kiara stretches out her arms and Maehwa links arms with her, smiling happily. Sungmin’s smile fades when he sees S.Me glaring at him. He clears his throat as the three approach S.Me and Yoo Sawng. “Annyeonghaseyo.” He is the only one to speak at the moment as all of the girls sense tension.

            “Boo!” AJ whispers in Vizio’s ear, causing her to spin around and hit him in the stomach. He yelps in pain and Vizio’s eyes go wide.

            “I’m so sorry!” Vizio tells him, patting his stomach. “I thought you were a .”

            “At a birthday party?” AJ asks, chuckling nervously. She just nods, serious. AJ looks at her cast and then back at her. “How is your wrist?”

            “Good. I’m protecting it,” she tells him, cradling her wrist in her other hand.

            “From rapists?” he asks her, smirking.

            “Exactly,” Vizio nods, not giving into his joke.

            “Hey Vizio,” Eli says to Vizio, smiling.

            “Yo!” Vizio replies, giving a v-sign to him with her good hand. “How goes it?”

            “Good, good. AJ told me her hurt your wrist,” Eli tells her, smirking and looking at AJ. AJ just looks at him, shaking his head. Eli smiles innocently and looks back at Vizio. “So, who do you like?” AJ nudges him in the side and Vizio blinks at them, confused.

            “AJ, do you like me?” Vizio asks after a minute, causing AJ to just stare at her. Eli snickers and pats AJ’s shoulder, walking off. “Did I ask that right?” Vizio asks when he didn’t respond.

            “Uh. Yeah, you did,” he tells her, averting his eyes. He clears his throat and smiles at her. “So~ Uh.”

            “I don’t need a boyfriend.” Vizio walks away and leaves AJ speechless.

            “Hello there, Beautiful,” Jeongmin coos in Bae Kyon’s ear, making her jump. She turns to face him and smiles sheepishly.

            “Annyeong, Jeongmin-ssi. How are you?”

            “Better. Listen. About the-“

            Bae Kyon’s eyes widen and she covers his mouth. Jeongmin just stares at her. Bae Kyon shakes her head and looks around, making sure no one heard her. She sighs and removes her hand from his mouth. Jeongmin smiles slightly and hands her a card and a gift. She takes it and bows.

            “About that thing. Uhm.” He rubs the back of his neck and looks down. “Did you feel anything…honestly?” Bae Kyon slowly shakes her head as her response. He drops his hand and sighs in relief. “Good. Because I need your help. I like someone.”

            Bae Kyon grins and nods. “Of course I’ll help! Now. Who is she?”

            “My Rinnie!” S.Me smiles wide and grabs the girl by the arm and drags her to the dance floor. “Let’s dance!”

            Chaerin laughs and follows S.Me. Yoo Sawng is by the entrance, talking to Sungmin. Kiara and Maehwa went to see Bae Kyon and wish her a happy birthday and give her their gifts.

            “Listen, Sungmin. I have a quest-“

            “About Chaerin, right?”

            “Yeah. And why are you dating Kiara?”

            “I like her?” Sungmin tilts his head, slightly confused about everything. “Chaerin is just a friend.”

            “You don’t like her more than a friend then?”

            “Well,” Sungmin looks towards the dance floor to make sure Kiara is out of sight. After those brief seconds, he returns his gaze to Yoo Sawng. “I really like her. More than a friend. But I don’t think she’d ever give me a chance.”

            For the first time in a while, Yoo Sawng bursts out laughing. Sungmin just looks at her as if she’s gone crazy. Passer-byers stare at her. Even a few people who are dancing glance at the girl. She finally realizes how loud she is and stops laughing and apologizes to Sungmin.

            “You both are idiots!” Yoo Sawng tells him and walks away.

            “Hi!” Ricky and Changjo walk up to Chaerin and S.Me. “I’m Ricky. It’s nice to meet you.” Chaerin and S.Me bow to him and introduce themselves and greet Changjo. “You’re the famous S.Me? Changjo says you’re weir-“ Changjo hits Ricky. “Unique.” Changjo just smiles at the girls, nervously. Chaerin giggles and S.Me just tilts her head and shrugs, telling him, “I am weird.”

            “And you are the non-maknae-like Chaerin,” Ricky says to Chaerin and she nods.

            “And I’m also going to go get dr-“ Chaerin notices a familiar figure over Changjo’s shoulder and frowns. “Drinks. I’ll see you guys later.” Chaerin ignores them and walks in the opposite direction of Sungmin.

            “Is she okay?” Changjo asks. S.Me shrugs. “So, you two want to party?” S.Me asks them cheerily. Ricky nods and Changjo nods as well, and she drags them in the middle of the dance floor as a Girl’s Generation song comes on. “Party time!” Ricky twirls S.Me around and she laughs. Changjo eventually decides to leave the two alone and heads off to find the cake.

            “This is so fun~ Wait. Where’d Changjo go?” S.Me asks, smiling wide as she twirls again. Ricky looks around and points to the food bar. S.Me looks and laughs aloud. “Oh!”

            “What do you mean Yoo Sawng unnie invited him?!” Chaerin yells at EunMi outside. “Why?!” Chaerin already knew when she found the blue paper. She knew a lot. But no one else knows she knows. She has decides to play with all of them.

            “I told her not to!” EunMi yells back.

            “And you hid it from me? Why?”

            “Because I didn’t plan it!”

            “But you knew.”

            “Yes.”

            “I’m your best friend!”

            “I know that. I didn’t want-“

            “And you forgot to mention something else.”

            “What now?”

            “He is dating someone. Some pabo forgot to log out of their Facebook account. I love finding out my unnies lie to me.”

            “Chae-“

            “I shouldn’t even be caring right now. I don’t like him. This is Bae Kyon’s-“

            Someone clears their throat and Chaerin and EunMi turn and glare at the person at the door. “WHAT?!”
