Lua and Sei walked down the block to the coffee shop and got strawberry frappes. They sat at one of the outside tables so they could watch people go by as they drank their drinks.   "Are you sure this was a good idea?" Lua asked.   Sei looked at her. "What? You usually love getting a strawberry frappe."   Lua reached over and ruffled Sei's hair. "Not that, silly. Leaving Lucy and Suyeon alone."   Sei took a sip of her drink. "You mean the Unnie-est Unnie versus the Littlest Maknae in a special no-holds-barred cage match without a referee?"   Lua nodded. "Something like that. What if we get back and they haven't worked it out? What if things have gotten worse?"   Sei looked around at all the couples walking up and down the street. "Well, for one thing, OT4 would be off the table. That would be pretty much the worst - to have 3 girlfriends and 2 of them can't get along."   Lua stopped to think for a moment. "If we do split up the foursome, I think you and I should be a couple. No reason you and I should be alone just because Lucy and Suyeon can't get along."   Sei looked at her critically. "Are you sure you're not just scared of being single again?"   Lua shook her head. "No, it's not like that. I feel like you and I have gotten a lot closer recently, and I really like you. Like, really really like."   Sei laughed. "You always did have a way with words." She looked thoughtful for a moment, then continued. "I think it's a good idea - I'm surprised you and I had never dated before this - I just wanted to be sure I wasn't your security blank."   Lua shook her head. "No, it's not like that at all. I'm sure if the foursome blew up, Lucy and I could go back to being a couple, but if she and Suyeon blow the foursome up, I'd rather be with you. I hope I never have to make the choice, but if I do, that's what I would want to choose."   Sei reached over and pulled Lua into a side hug. "That sounds good. But hopefully it won't come to that - hopefully our girlfriends are working things out and everything will be okay."   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^   Lucy sat on the couch, watching the door and waiting for Suyeon to come out. After what seemed like forever, the door opened. Suyeon came out and looked around. Her eyes were red from where she'd obviously been crying.   "Where is everybody?" she asked.   "They're all out and about," Lucy said. "Yoojung decided they all should go out and let you and me have the apartment to talk."   Suyeon nodded thoughtfully. "I'm feeling calmer now. How about you?"   Lucy nodded. "You're not mad at me, unnie?"   "I didn't say that," Suyeon said, "I just said I was calmer."   Lucy wrapped her arms around herself and squished down into a corner of the couch. "I'm not trying to cause problems, unnie," she said in a small voice. "I just don't think you're being fair."   Suyeon flopped down onto the couch, noticing that as she did so, Lucy squished herself into the smallest possible package and scooted away from her. "Okay, let's start there," Suyeon said. "I'm sorry I lost my temper and was about to slap you."   Lucy looked up at Suyeon, her eyes glistening. "You really scared me,
