Elly had noticed. She wondered if any of the others had noted. She knew Rina hadn't noticed, or else she'd have blown up and there'd be screaming and crying and hell to pay.   What had Elly noticed? She'd noticed Lucy. Every day, all week, it seemed like every time Elly looked around, Lucy was looking at her. Some of it was just part of the day to day life of being eight girls in a band, living in close proximity, dancing, practicing dancing, going on radio and TV to promote their songs. But this seemed like more than was normal. Elly knew that Lucy was obsessed with the idea of OT8, but she'd also been there when Lucy promised Suyeon that she wouldn't try pressuring Rina and Elly into OT8. Of course, Elly knew how Lucy's mind worked: In Lucy's mind, convincing was different from pressuring, so Lucy's definition of what was acceptable allowed her a great deal more latitude than anyone else's ideas would have.   They had a few hours free one afternoon, between the morning's promotions and the evening's performance. The others were watching a movie, but Elly had already seen it, and anyway, she needed to do laundry. She gathered up her dirty clothes and headed down to the dorm's laundry room. As Elly was passing through the living room on the way out, Rina had asked "Want me to come with you?"   Elly reassured her "No, you can stay here and watch the movie. I'll be back in a little bit."   Elly put her clothes on to wash, then grabbed a magazine that someone had left on the table and sat down to wait for her clothes. She'd been reading for about 15 minutes when she realized that someone else was in the room with her. She looked up and saw Lucy standing in front of her.   "Hi unnie," Lucy said. "Can I hang out with you?"   Alarm bells started going off in Elly's head. "Weren't you watching the movie?"   Lucy shook her head. "I've seen that one already and I tried it, but it ended up not being good enough to watch again."   Elly patted the chair next to hers. "I don't know how much fun hanging out with me will be. I'm just sitting here waiting for my clothes to wash and reading a celebrity gossip magazine."   "Can I read the magazine with you?" Lucy leaned over so that she could see the magazine too, seemingly oblivious to the fact that this meant she was close enough that Elly could feel her body heat.   Elly mentally shrugged. "Sure. Want me to go back to the beginning of the article?"   "No thanks, unnie. I'll just pick it up from here."   It was pretty obvious to Elly that Lucy didn't actually care about the magazine, but she didn't feel like fighting at the moment, so she figured she'd let Lucy try whatever she was trying, then stop her when she needed to be stopped.   The two sat reading quietly for a few minutes until Lucy broke the silence. "How are things going with you and Rina?"   "Everything's fine. How are things going with you and your girlfriends?"   Lucy shrugged. "Everything's fine. . ." After a moment's pause, she went on. "Can I ask you something, unnnie?"   Elly's mind wa
