Sei started to follow Lucy into the large bedroom, but Doyeon stopped her.   "She'll be fine," Doyeon said, "but you and I need to talk." Doyeon looked over at Suyeon and Lua, deeply engrossed in conversation on the couch. "Let's go in the kitchen. You can make us a cup of tea."   Once they were in the kitchen, Doyeon leaned against the counter and watched while Sei filled the kettle and turned it on, then got down 2 mugs and put tea bags in them.   Sei turned to face Doyeon. "Okay unnie, can you tell me what's going on now, because I'm confused and a little scared. I came in and everyone was angry and somehow I've got the feeling that it's my fault and I don't understand."   Doyeon stepped forward and enfolded Sei in a hug. "It is all kind of because of you, but you didn't do anything wrong, except not understand what was going on around you."   Sei looked up at Suyeon. "I don't understand."   Doyeon sat down on the floor, pulling Sei down with her.   "Well," she said, "let's handle the easy part first: Suyeon is upset with Lua because Lua doesn't understand the dangers of playing matchmaker, so all of this is kind of her fault too."   "All of what?" Sei asked, more confused than ever. "Besides, I would have gone out with Haley tonight even if Lua hadn't told her I would."   Now it was Doyeon's turn to look confused. "Haley?"   "Lime," Sei clarified. "She said only a few people who are really special to her call her Haley and she said she'd like it if I called her Haley."   Doyeon nodded. "Okay. Anyway, would you have had the idea that you and Haley were a couple - or ought to be a couple - if Lua hadn't planted the idea there?"   Sei shook her head. "Not right away. . . I'm sure I would have come up with it eventually."   "I'm not so sure," Doyeon said. "Until Lua's meddling tonight, I think you were happy for you and Lime to be friends and had never considered anything further."   The kettle went off then. Sei got up, poured water into their mugs, and then brought the tea down to the floor.   "I still don't understand why Lua getting me and Haley together is a problem. She kissed me! I'm happy! Well, I was happy, until I came in and everyone was upset."   Doyeon nodded. "Lucy saw you kissing."   "But I don't see how that's a prob-" A look of realization dawned on Sei's face. "She's afraid someone else might have seen us and I'd get in trouble for violating our dating clause? But no one did!"   Doyeon covered her face with her palm and shook her head slowly. She looked up at Sei. "You really don't get it, do you?"   The look of understanding on Sei's face was gone, replaced by confusion again. "Apparently not," she admitted.   "Lucy likes you," Doyeon said simply.   "And I like her," Sei said. "She my best fr-" Again the dawning realization. "You mean she like likes me."   Doyeon nodded.   "But. . ." Sei looked confused again. "I thought Lucy liked MJ."   Doyeon shook her head vigorously.   "But the texts," Sei protested. "And every time I tried to talk to her on the filming day, she was always talking to him!"   "No," Doyeon corrected her. "He was talking to her. Harassing her. It got so out of control that we had to go talk to Alice to get her to talk to his leader to make it stop."   "So Alice wasn't harassing Lua!" Sei said happily.   "I'm not even going to ask where you got that idea," Doyeon said, "but no, she wasn't."   "But Lucy likes me!" Sei had a big smile on her face, which sudden vanished. "And she saw me kissing Haley."   Sei fell quiet for a minute, then turned back to Doyeon and asked "But why didn't she ever say anything to me?"   "Why didn't you ever say anything to her?" Doyeon riposted.   "I didn't even know she was gay!"   "And she didn't know you would ever be interested in her." Doyeon took a deep breath and released it slowly

I'm going to be trying to update this fic plus "I Don't Like Your Girlfriend," and "Second Winter at Fire Lodge" simultaneously - I've never successfully updated 3 ongoing fics at once before, but I feel like I've got a handle on it this time.
