Finally the night of the party arrived. There was a knock at the door and Rina opened it to admit the members of Hellovenus. Well, all of them but one.   "Where's Lime?" Sei asked.   Alice laughed. "She'll be here. She just went to pick up her friend. She said it's a surprise for all of us."   Sei was still nervous about the concept of surprises, and she wished Haley had arrived with the rest of the group. Sei had had a sense of foreboding all day, and if something was going to happen, she wanted to go ahead and get it over it.   Sei chatted with Alice as Hellovenus's leader helped herself to the snacks. Looking over Alice's shoulder, she saw Lucy deep in conversation with Yeoreum - apparently the maknaes were exchanging secrets. Sei was pretty sure that by the time the night was over, both maknaes would know everything there was to know about both groups.   Just then there was another knock at the door.

I'm looking forward to getting to talk with all of you tonight."   Sei looked at Haley and mouthed "Did you know?" Haley just shook her head and shrugged, apparently as taken aback as everyone else.   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^   The party had been going for a couple of hours. People had divided up into little groups which shuffled around from time to time. Sei and Haley were sitting on the couch with Lua and Jennie. After repeated urging from Sei, Jennie was telling them about her experiences on the year-end celebration shows. Sei hoped to someday be on those shows, but Jennie's experience of being featured twice, once as a solo performer and once as a member of Blackpink, was something Sei had trouble even imagining.   Just then Lucy came up to the couch, Yeoreum trailing behind her. "Excuse us, folks. We need to borrow
