It was a rare Friday night off for Weki Meki. Elly and Rina had gone out to dinner. Suyeon and Lua had gone to see a movie. Doyeon and Sei had gone makeup shopping - Doyeon was the only one who could match Sei's obsessive interest in makeup. Lucy was sitting on the couch, her feet tucked under her, drawing. Nothing she drew seemed to please her, though. Every few minutes she'd stop, tear out the page she'd been working on, crumple it into a ball, and toss it across the room toward the trash can. Already the living room floor was littered with her unsuccessful attempts. Yoojung came bouncing into the room, saw what Lucy was up to, and decided action needed to be taken. She hopped onto the couch by Lucy, wrapped her arms around her, and the aegyo.
"Lucy-yah," she pleaded, "I'm hungry. Let's go get a snack."
"I don't want to go," Lucy said, throwing away her latest attempt at a drawing. "You go without me."
"But Lucy-yah," Yoojung said, putting on her cutest, most enticing face, "it's no fun eating tteokbokki by myself. And on a Friday night. . . " Yoojung pouted.
"Fine," Lucy said, setting aside the sketch pad. "Nothing I was drawing was coming out right tonight anyway."
"Yay!" Yoojung jumped up, grabbed Lucy's hands, and pulled her off the couch. "C'mon! Let's go right now!"
Lucy recognized she wasn't going to get any peace until she and Yoojung had eaten tteokbokki together, so she might as well make the best of it. Pasting on a smile she didn't really feel, she said. "OK. Where are we going?"
Never letting go of Lucy's hand, Yoojung started heading toward the door. "Doyeon told me about a new tteokbokki restaurant that opened on the other side of the park. She said their spiciest sauce is the spiciest she's ever had."
Lucy looked dubious. "That might be too hot for me - I don't like spicy food as much as you and Doyeon do."
"Tell you what," Yoojung said, grabbing her purse, "we can get a super spicy and a medium, my treat."
"And bubble tea?" Lucy asked, looking hopeful.
Yoojung smiled, recognizing she was finally making some headway with snapping Lucy out of her foul mood. "And bubble tea," she agreed. "Now let's go, before it fills up."

An hour later, Yoojung and Lucy had finished their tteokbokki and were relaxing in their booth enjoying their bubble tea. Yoojung was leaning against Lucy, who had her arm around her.
"Lucy-yah, Yoojung said, "when I found you in the living room this evening you were upset about something. Do you want to talk about it?"
Lucy took a last sip of her bubble tea and put the glass down on the table. After thinking for a minute, she shook her head. "No, it's something stupid. I shouldn't even be upset about it."
Yoojung looked up at Lucy. "But obviously you are upset about it, so why don't you let me try to help?"
Lucy looked dubious, so Yoojung smiled up at her. "C'mon," she pleaded , "let me help. What's the point of being an unnie if you never get to help?"
Lucy picked up her glass, only to remember that it was empty and then put it ba
