PRESENT DAY

“Unnie,” Yewon whispered as she walked to her best friend who was half asleep on the trailer couch. “You can go home if you want. You don’t need to wait for me.”

“Nope!” Eunha straightened up, rubbing her eyes with her palms so she could wake up. “I’m not leaving you with that son of a b-“

“Unnie.”

“Sorry..” Eunha sighed and slumped back onto the couch, moving to a side so that Yewon could join her. “Seeing her face today.. I just- I don’t know. It made me angry looking at her.”

“You should’ve seen me when I first found out we’d be working together,” Yewon laughed, burying herself beneath the shared blanket for warmth, snuggling closer to her friend. “I went ballistic.”

“Yeah I can imagine it.” Eunha giggled.

“Maybe that’s why she was so shaken up during filming,” Yewon murmured. “I think seeing you made memories flash back in her head.”

“Good,” Eunha scoffed. “She needs to be reminded everyday for what she did to you.”

“Again!” Yewon groaned. “I’m over it, okay?”

“Don’t lie to me, Yewon, I know damn well you’re far from over it.” Eunha chuckled and sunk herself even deeper into the couch. “It took you three weeks to stop crying because you ran over a squirrel.”

“You’d cry if you ran over an animal too!” Yewon pouted. 

“Okay, but the squirrel you ran over was already dead in the first place!”

“That’s not the point.”

“Whatever. The point is, you can try your best to forget but forgiving should never be an easy thing. You really need to think to yourself. Are you going to forgive her?”

Yewon looked down as her best friend spoke. She played with the bracelet that was around her wrist and as much as she wanted to answer the question being asked, she just couldn’t. 

“Take your time, but don’t allow anyone to force you to try and forgive her until you’re ready,” Eunha smiled reassuringly, planting a soft kiss on the younger’s head.

“Oh my god I’m so happy for you!” Eunha exclaimed from excitement when she saw the invitation Yewon received. “You need to email them right now and say you accept!”

“Its an amazing offer..” Yewon agreed. “But I don’t know yet.”

Eunha’s arms dropped to her sides when she heard her best friend’s words. She had to stick her fingers in her ears just to make sure she heard right. Her hands held up the piece of paper in front of Yewon, a dumbfounded expression on her face. “You’re telling me you have this amazing offer and you’re not sure if you’re going yet?”

“Exactly.” Yewon shrugged, grabbing her mug of tea and stirred the hot liquid around before squirting in a bit of honey. 

“And why is that?!” Eunha asked, still dumbfounded. She was at a loss for words. Was Yewon going crazy?

“Because..” she exhaled. “I don’t want to leave this school. I don’t want to leave Eunbi either. Or you.”

Eunha placed the piece of paper down on the kitchen table and soon joined Yewon in sitting. She buried her face against her palm and tapped her fingers along the wooden table. “Yewon, please, I beg you. Listen to yourself. You’re wasting this opportunity just because you’re going to miss us?”

“Yeah..?” Yewon frowned, sipping her drink so she could soothe her voice. “What’s wrong with that?”

“Everything!” Eunha shook her head in disbelief. “Any person in their right mind would take this and immediately say yes!”

Yewon pouted after finishing her drink. Her fingers traced along the letter, her thumb grazing along the signed area of the organizer. 

“I’ll have to talk to Eunbi about it.. Most likely tomorrow.”

PRESENT DAY

“Hey,” Minzy greeted Eunbi with a small smile as the younger dancer walked through the doors. “There’s a thing called knocking.”

“Sorry, I just got excited about drinking away my problems again,” Eunbi laughed nervously and joined her senior. Her hands easily opened two bottles of soju and poured them into glasses which filled up with the said alcohol. “Cheers?”

“Cheers,” Minzy muttered in amusement, watching the other gulp down the drink as if it was nothing. “Never seen you so eager to drink before.”

“Sorry,” Eunbi apologized while rolling her shoulders. She wanted to try and loosen up while her hands tightened on the glass in hand. “Do you remember what I said last time?”

“It’s been two weeks, Eunbi, I don’t even remember what I had for dinner two days ago,” the older laugh, drinking
