"Dubu wait up!" Dahyun halted and turned to look at who called her. 

"Chaeyoung!" The ash-blonde tofu engulfed the shorter one in a tight hug before letting her speak.

"Where are you going Dubs?" Chaeyoung asked. 

"I'm going to the library." Dahyun answered.

"But I thought Jeongyeon-unnie and Nayeon-unnie are the ones who's supposed to babysit you?" The question from Chaeyoung gained her a headlock from Dahyun. "Agh-AGH! MIANHE, MIANHEEEE!" 

"That's what you get you shorty. First of all, They're so annoying and Second of all I'm not a baby, I'm totally a grown up-Oh Ice Cream!" Dahyun was about to run towards the cart-filled Ice Cream when someone grabbed her back-collar.

"You're basically a baby, accept it and yeah the first one is understandable." She pulled Dahyun back and fixed her collar for her. "Sorry to breakyour bubble tofu but that ice cream cart is filled with poison." She said, poker-face on.

"HAAAAAH?! NONONOOOO TZUYU YOU'RE JUST BEING MEAN!" Dahyun argued and Chaeyoung just laughed at the older one's predicament. Dahyun just pouted while being pulled away by her two dongsaengs. 

"Chewyyyyyyyy lemme goooooo." Dahyun complained, trying to release herself from Tzuyu's grasp.

"Not until we reach the library." Tzuyu said.

"I looke like a goddarn prisoner!" 

"It's better this way Dubs, who knows what you're about to do the moment we release you." Chaeyoung commented. 

"Oh by the way Yoda, you don't have basketball practice today?" Chaeyoung asked.

"Nah, I have a whole month free because championship is over." Tzuyu answered.

"I see, Congrats again by the way! You're pretty cool back there!" Chaeyoung complimented.

"Thanks cub."

"Ahhh! This makes me feel guilty, Mianhe Tzuyu-ah." Dahyun suddenly said, pouting, she felt really bad for not being able to come but it just so happen that Nayeon was absent that time so she had to take over the Cafe for her. 

The three stopped in their tracks when the tallest stopped. Tzuyu looked at Dahyun, poker-face breaking into a soft smile. "Like I told you that's okay Dahyun, I know you're busy sustaining yourself and your education. If only you've agreed to become our company's scholar then you wouldn't have to overwork yourself." That's quite true though, Tzuyu offered a scholarship for Dahyun but the latter didn't took it since she wanted to be "independent" unlike her, Nayeon doesn't need to overwork herself since she has a family to support her in some ways but Dahyun, she's all alone and the apartment Tzuyu, Jihyo and Mina gave to her is more than enough already, she can't take more.

Dahyun smiled sheepishly as she scratched her head, "Heheh you know I'd like to do things in my own way, Tzuyu-ah." 

"Yeah figures." And with that Tzuyu and Chaeyoung dragged her again into the library, the room is quite empty today. Usually it will be filled with students doing their homework or studying after class but then miracles do happen. 

Not from a far, Dahyun and Chaeyoung can see Mina sitting elegantly on one of the library's couch. Chaeyoung wasted no time and lunged towards

her and happily hugged the youngest japanese girl. 

Tzuyu and Dahyun followed her and exhanged greetings. 

"Hi Mina-unnie!" The bubbly girl greeted as she also gave the older a hug. 

"Mina-unnie." Tzuyu gave Mina a little nod. It's not that they're not close but Tzuyu always respect Mina's personal space, Mina doesn't like being hugged or anything related to breaking her own bubble that's why Mina appreciated Tzuyu although the overly-affectionate-skinship-monsters such as Momo, Dahyun and Chaeyoung– well they just held a special string in her heart so it's a different story. 

"What brings you guys here?" Mina asked as she gently closed the book she was reading and turned all her attention to the 3 maknaes. 

"Well I saw this eagle on the way here and thought why not go along with her too!" Chaeyoung happily responded. 

"I had to keep Dahyun off any troubles for the day." Tzuyu maturely said earning a little giggle from Mina. 

"Don't you have practice every dismissal?" Mina asked once again. 

"Ah well I'm free for a month of practice till the next game." Tzuyu replied. 

Mina just nodded at her and clasped her hands, "So. Dahyun have you considered my offer yet?" Mina inquired. 

"Offer?" Chaeyoung asked as she eyed Dahyun. It kinda hurt her that her best buddy hasn't mentioned anything about this to her, especially since she's having this 'offer' something with her crush. 

"A-ah hehe." Dahyun held a peace sign at Chaeyoung before turning to Mina, scratching her head. "Well I guess there's nothing wrong in learning japanese this time." Dahyun reasoned.

"You're teaching Japanese now unnie?" Tzuyu asked.

"Well Dahyun was ranting about not being able to understand an anime without subs so I thought kf lending her a hand." Mina explained, in fact it's not the first time Mina helped Dahyun with things like this, ever wondered how Dahyun can understand Tzuyu speaking in her sleep? Well blame Mina. 

"Oh, OH! Mina-unnie can you teach me Japanese too!" Tzuyu suddenly and eagerly said, even raising her arms in the process. 

"Sure but why?" 

"I can't understand what's that squirrel is blabbing about, she's speaking in her mother tongue and god knows what the hell she's been saying." The tallest one exasperatedly sighed, recently she's been having trouble talkng with Sana since the older girl keeps on teasing the younger by speakig japanese while cutely staring at her through the screen. 

Mina just hummed and nodded completely understanding the situation Tzuyu's in, language barrier is indeed a jerk.

"Ah! Yaaay! At least I'm not gonna be lonely. You're the best Chewy!" Dahyun happily chirped and Mina can't help but smile at the cuteness.

"How about you Chaeng? Would you like to join in as well?" Mina softly asked the cub as she turned to her. 

"W-well if you insist." Chaeyoung mumbled. 

"Yah! Son Chaeyoung! That's unfair! You're getting the baby treatment again!" Dahyun yelled pointing her finger at Mina then to Chaeyoung while pouting. 

"I thought you didn't want it unnie."

"Oi! Shut up will y-DAHYUN?!" The librarian is 'supposedly' gonna scold them since..well it's her job but when she saw who they were, she already forgotten her job. Luckily for thhem, there arent any students around aside from them and the 'I don't give a ' ones. 

"Momo-unnie!" Dahyun reciprocates the volume. 

The two englufed each other in a bone-crushing hug as if they haven't seen each other for years. 

"You literally just saw each other 4 hours ago. " Tzuyu pointed out, rubbing her right ear with the constant shouting going on. 

"Well 4 hours ago is already a lot! Right my favorite dongsaeng?" Momo retorts as she seductively smiled at Dahyun.

"Fine Momo-unnie throw our friendship just like that." 

"Eww like hello? We're here? 'Dongsaengs'?" 

Dahyun just laughed at the 2 maknaes although Momo is just kidding when she said Dahyun is her favorite dongsaeng, she still can't help but get amused at the younger ones' reaction. Truth be told, Momo is close with the 3 maknaes and it just so happens that she loved teasing them too. 

Momo settled down besides the elegant beauty who seems to be unbothered with the sudden increase of noise. 

"Moguri, you're shift is not over yet." Mina reminded. 

"Ah! Of course. It's okay. The library's not that busy today." Momo replied. "Oh! By the way, are you all going to that mini-party that Jihyo's going to throw?" She added. 

"Hell yeah!" Chaeyoung was the first one to respond, punching the air as she did. 

"Party? What for?" The tallest one asked as she furrowed her brow out of confusion, the graduated friend didn't mentioned something about a party to her. 

"Oh…ah…hehe.. well I don't know too! I guess Jihyo-unnie just wants us to take a day off and spend it together. Her work and our hectic schedule is restricting her to visit us." Dahyun stuttered, hoping  she's not that obvious and Momo for mentioning it. Jihyo said that it's supposed to be a surprise party for Tzuyu. 

"Oh well I guess I can go, Night Sport is over for now so why not." Tzuyu shrugged. 

"I think I can't go, I still have classes to attend on Saturday." The penguin suddenly butted in. Dahyun and Chaeyoung gasped at this while Momo just pouted, totally expecting this from her best friend. 

"Wae Mina-unnie! It's not the same without youuu." Dahyun whined

"Yeah! Dahyun's right, it's been a while since we hang out with Jihyo-unnie!" Chaeyoung seconded. 

"Pretty please Mina-unnie? Just this once!" Dahyun pursuades.. 

"I'll even drive you home!" Chaeyoung volunteered.

"You don't know how to drive tho-" 

Chaeyoung clasped her hands as she interfered, "I'll make Tzuyu drive us home!" She rephrased, eyeing the Yoda. 

Mina sighed. There are times when the maknaes are being so pursuasive like this and not to mention, determined to make Mina go. She knows she can't shake off the guilty feeling once she declines them so in the end she always says, "Fine. I'll go but I can't stay beyond 10." 

Dahyun and Chaeyoung cheered and high-fived, "Hell yeah!" 

"Great now we're all going!" The oldest japanese declared earning a nod from the rest. 

Now this is gonna be so fun, Dahyun thought

Dahyun together with her her adoptive parents, Jeongyeon and Nayeon was the first batch to arrive in Jihyo's Restaurant after picking up Dahyun on their way. There was a sign on the glass door which reads, 'Family Use' means the Restaurant is closed for private purposes. The oldest, Nayeon smiled at that. The word family has such a nice ring to it.

"We're here!" The seco
