On the way home from the video shoot, Manager-nim had Suyeon use her phone and the band credit card to order chicken delivery for that night's dinner. Sei was so hungry that she didn't even care that fried chicken wasn't the healthiest dinner they could be eating. watered just thinking of it.   They got back to the dorm to discover they'd timed things perfectly - they'd been in their apartment for less than a minute when the chicken delivery man knocked on the door. Suyeon took the package from him, thanked him as he shut the door on his way out, and then everyone gathered around her as she stood at the table and unpacked the delicious things she had ordered.   Once they had all filled their plates, they dispersed into small groups scattered around the apartment and sat around eating and talking. Sei managed to get Lua alone for a moment and asked her "Are you okay?"   Lua nodded. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"   Sei got a serious look on her face. "I heard about this morning," she said solemnly. She didn't want to say any more than that - if Lua was upset by what had happened, she didn't want to upset her further.   Lua thought back to this morning, when both Manager-nim and Suyeon had fussed at her for not dressing formally enough for the video shoot. She shrugged. "It wasn't the first time something like that happened, and it probably won't be the last."   Sei couldn't believe how calm Lua was being. "You're not upset about it?"   Lua thought for a moment. "I was a little upset at the time, but I'm not going to let it ruin my day."   Sei was so impressed by how brave Lua was being. She leaned over and gave her friend a hug. "Well, if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you."   Lua waved away Sei's concern. "It's over. It's in the past. I've already forgotten about it."   Sei nodded. She didn't know if she could forgive Alice as easily as Lua apparently had, but she vowed to try in order to keep the peace with their sunbaes. Maybe it was just a one-time thing and out of character for Alice.   Just then Lucy came over and sat down with them. "Wasn't today a fun day? I had a great time today."   Lucy's good mood was so infectious that Sei found herself smiling along with her. Even with the MJ situation, she was so happy that her friend was happy that she almost wasn't upset about the fact that Lucy was apparently dating someone other than her. She was still upset, but she managed to keep that on the inside, and she was genuinely happy for her friend.   "When do you think you'll see MJ again?" Sei asked.   A cloud passed over Lucy's face. "I don't know," she said. "I'll find a way to deal with that in the future."   Sei nodded and changed the subject, not wanting to spoil Lucy's good mood. She told some of the stories that Lime had told at lunch, and soon they were all laughing and enjoying themselves.   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^   Over the next several days, Sei found herself really needing an unnie's advice. What did she do about the Lucy and MJ situation? Did she give in gracefully, never letting Lucy know how she felt about her? Or did she challenge MJ for Lucy's affection? And did her apparent attraction to MJ mean Lucy was straight, or did Sei still stand a chance?   Unfortunately, they were kept so busy with holiday promotions that Sei never had a chance for a private conversation with Doyeon or any of the other unnies (though Doyeon was the one she'd prefer to get advice from).   One afternoon there was a rumor that they'd get
