“It’s the new girl!”

The still high-pitched “sorry”, or should have been warning, was a little too late for Jihyo’s liking, but at least now she didn’t need about a full minute to translate it using her still mediocre, but definitely improved Japanese since two years ago when Sana joined. Jihyo couldn’t complain though, because the newcomer took the brunt of well, Sana, as the blur of what was supposed to be Sana crashed into her, the overexcited girl only afterwards mumbling the shy apology, saying it was meant to be a hug.

Jihyo learns that the now flustered girl, who somehow still manages to keep her aura of elegance, is Mina, Myoui Mina, so quietly that Jihyo has to strain a little to catch it. 

Jihyo also notices that since Mina’s arrival, the pouring rain had stopped all of a sudden, the light now shining through the window and upon Mina’s face making her look ethereal, and Jihyo never thought moles could look that magical.

As for Mina, she learns that the girl, hair in ponytails and around the same height as her, is Sana, Minatozaki Sana, in a pitch that almost ruins everyone’s eardrums.

Jihyo introduces herself and apologises again on Sana’s behalf, just liked she did when Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu first arrived. Sure, everyone was glad to meet a new friend, Jihyo especially happy to finally have someone that’s like her, but Momo looked a little upset that Sana was this excited to have a Japanese roommate, considering Momo and practically the entire hospital has been with her this whole time.

The eight of them didn’t like explaining why there were so many foreigners in their room, they never found each other foreign anyway.

Jihyo smiles when Mina relaxes a little when she gets introduced to the calmer roommates, the first being the eldest, Nayeon, and Jihyo remembers referring to her as the girl with bunny-like front teeth and whom she had profusely apologised to for not calling “unnie” the moment the older girl informed her of their
