“A heartbreaker strikes again huh?” Bomi whistled playfully from the black leather couch on their waiting room the moment Eunji strolled inside with a tired expression, resulting in numerous teasing glances and chuckles from everyone in the room.

“Oh! Shut up Yoon Bomi!” Eunji groaned while hitting her lightly with a red-colored cushion next to her.

“He’s the fourth guy from this month alone, right?” commented Hayoung before stuffing a red cherry into . “We could debut a new boy group from all the guys you’ve rejected so far...” she added again. Eunji scowled at her remark while the others giggled and joined Hayoung to some more.
