After a silence that seemed to stretch out, Lucy finally said "Well, since no one else seems to want to, I guess I'll go first: I want us to vote on a new leader for the group."
The response couldn't have been more dramatic if she'd walked across the room and slapped Suyeon. All the members started talking at once, some calling for an immediate vote, others for no vote, others for a vote but only after discussion. When the hubbub had died down somewhat, Lucy started speaking again, and soon everyone had fallen silent to hear what she had to say.
"I'm not saying the Suyeon hasn't done a good job as our leader, and I know some of you think she should automatically be the leader because she's the oldest unnie. But given what's happened over the last few days, I don't know that I trust her to always use her leadership position strictly for the good of the group, and I'm there are some of you who feel the same way. I don't think those feelings should be ignored, and that's why I think we ought to have a vote - so that even if Suyeon is elected to stay our leader, she'll know that some of the members are unhappy with her-"
"Like I don't know that already," Suyeon mumbled.

If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at me - I'm the one who broke up with Lucy, not Suyeon."
"No, but without her you'd have had no reason to break up with Lucy. Anyway, don't worry, I'm quite capable of being angry with both of you." Rina flopped back on the couch and folded her arms.
"Well I think," Doyeon said, but then she was cut off by the sound of the doorbell. Instantly everyone fell silent - had one of the neighbors heard them yelling and called manager-nim? Were they all about to get in trouble? Doyeon got up and went to answer the door. Everyone strained their ears to hear what was going on at the apartment's door, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when Doyeon came back by herself, carrying a package. "It's for you," she said, tossing the package into Yoojung's lap.
Everyone turned to Yoojung, their quarrels momentarily forgotten as they curiously looked to see what was in the mysterious package.
Yoojung, realizing everyone was looked at her, rolled her eyes. "You're all going to stare at me until I open it, aren't you?" She took the wrapping off the package, revealing a book. "See?" she said, holding
