Sana peeked through the crack of the door and was not surprised when she saw Mina positioned the exact way that she had last seen her; lying down, curled up on her side in a blanket, with her laptop sideways. This time, though, a different movie was playing. Though she didn’t know anything about superhero movies, Sana was sure of it.

She couldn’t help but let the pout form on her lips.

Minari hasn’t moved at all…

It worried the older Japanese girl. She knew Mina didn’t mind staying in the same position for hours on end, but it wasn’t the same for Sana. Sana loved going out, shopping and eating out with the members whenever she had the chance. Seeing Mina like this every break they had...she simply couldn’t comprehend what was so fun about it.

She stepped inside and shut the door quietly. A head popped up from behind the blanket and Sana saw Mina’s small smile.

“Oh, hi, Sana!” Now that she saw who it was, Mina immediately put her head back down and hit the space bar on her laptop, resuming the movie. Sana frowned a bit, but removed it from her face immediately. She had interrupted her.

“Hey, Mitang, whatcha watchin’?” she whispered, allowing Mina to not miss what was going on in the movie. Still, Mina paused it again, not a hint of annoyance in her eyes as she sat up to speak to Sana.

“No, no, it’s okay. I’m just checking up on you.” Sana pressed on Mina’s chest and laid her back down, covering Mina up with the blanket as best as she could, making sure she was snug and warm.

“Okay. I’m fine, Sana. Thank you. Just watching Doctor Strange.” Mina gestured at the paused screen; it had a white man on it, seemingly casting a spell of some sort. Sana didn’t know what was going on, but it looked somewhat familiar.

“Hmm. Haven’t you watched it already? You watched it with Jihyo and Nayeon, did you not? At the theaters, if I recall correctly, the week it came out?” Sana asked after a bit of contemplation. She was sure she’d heard Jihyo mention it before.

“I have, but it’s good to watch something more than once, to see what you missed the first few times. I’ve caught a few things these past five times I’ve watched it.”

F-FIVE?!

Mina snuggled deeper into the blanket and stared longingly at the laptop, probably wanting to continue the movie but too shy to ask Sana to leave.

Sana understood and got up, quietly sighing. “I get you. Sorry for interrupting, Mina. Just remember that if you need anything, me and the other members are here. I love you.” Sana leaned over, kissing Mina on the temple as gently as she could, then giggled when she saw Mina blush the tiniest bit.

“O-okay, Sana. Thank you. I’ll remember that…” Mina hesitated a bit before saying “I love you too.”

Sana flashed her a smile and left the room, not wanting to keep Mina from her movie for too long.

She leaned against the wall outside the room and sighed once more. Mina never really does anything except watch movies. Doesn’t it ever get boring?

Sana pushed herself off the wall and closed her eyes. Should I do something about it? Or would Mina find it annoying?

Of course she didn’t want to bother her, she really didn’t, but surely something new would be good for Mina.

Sana decided to risk it and come up with a plan of some sorts to get Mina out of her room and spend more time with the members.

Sana headed toward the youngest girls’ room and knocked quietly. Chaeyoung was on the ground, painting on top of a plastic bag meant to protect the carpet from paint stains. Dahyun was watching Chaeyoung paint from her bed as she ate a cup of ramen. Tzuyu was nowhere in sight.

“Hel-lo!” Sana said in a sing-songy voice. Dahyun smiled at Sana and invited her to sit with her on her bed. Sana obliged immediately.

“Heya. Need something?” she asked. Sana nodded.

“Can you two come to the living room, please? I want to talk about something.”

Sana looked in time to catch the fear flash in Chaeyoung’s eyes. “D-did something happen? Is something wrong?” she asked, her voice full of uncertainty.

“No, Chaengie, don’t worry! I just want to talk. It’s about Mina. Nothing bad, I promise.”

Chaeyoung put a hand to her heart, as if to stop it from beating so hard.

“We’ll go,” Dahyun said, gripping Sana’s hand. “Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s important. You’ve never called for a meeting before, I think.”

“What if I just wanna announce that you and I are getting married?” Sana teased, batting her eyelashes at her. Dahyun turned pink and she smacked Sana’s back.

After a small laughing fit, Sana shook her head. She explained that they would see in a bit why the meeting was being called and that she had to talk to the other members first. Sana would signal for all of them to come once she had spoken to the other five.

Sana wasted no time and immediately made her way to the living room, where, thankfully, the remaining members were at. Momo and Nayeon were laughing like hyenas at something on Nayeon’s phone while Jihyo and Tzuyu were playing a game on the console. Jeongyeon simply sat on the couch and laughed at Jihyo for losing for what was apparently the third time in a row. Jihyo paused the game and got up to smack Jeongyeon, and at that moment she noticed Sana standing there, waiting for a good time to get their attention.

“Oh, hey, Sana. How long have you been standing there? You didn’t see that, did you?” she asked with her hand positioned to smack Jeongyeon's head.

Sana blinked a few times and smiled. “See what?” That earned her a protest from Jeongyeon.

Jihyo smirked and nodded approvingly. “Need something?”

Sana sat with Jeongyeon on the couch, worrying everyone with the sudden serious expression on her face.

“I want to hold a meeting with everyone. Excluding Mina. Can you do that, Jihyo?”

Jihyo shifted uncomfortably. “Excluding Mina? Is everything alright?”

Sana could see that Jihyo was already running a million possibilities through her head as to what was going on, probably already coming up with a solution to any fight they might have had. She felt a bit proud of her leader for that, even if her worry was for nothing.

“Everything is fine, don’t worry. Jeez, everyone jumps to the conclusion that something bad happened.”

Jihyo frowned and said “Well, it’s not everyday you ask for a meeting between the members. The few times that you have done it were for something pretty serious. Don’t forget that.”

Sana remembered. She apologized to the younger girl and hurried to clear everything up.

“Listen, it’s about Minari. Nothing too serious, I just need you guys’ opinion on something. Can you do that for me?”

Jihyo nodded. “I can do that. And you don’t want Mina to know, right?”

“Yes. She’ll know eventually. What I have planned isn’t going to be something we’ll be trying to hide. I just don’t want her to know for now.”

Jihyo, though confused, excused herself to quietly call for Dahyun and Chaeyoung. Once everyone (besides Mina) was gathered, Jihyo stood up and greeted them all.

“Good afternoon guys. I believe Sana has something to tell us. Please give her your full attention and don’t ask any questions until she finishes talking.”

They all knew the drill. The members all looked at Sana expectantly, all curious as to what she could possibly want, and why Mina wouldn’t be joining them.

“Well, I’ve been worried about Mina. Ever since promotions ended, we haven’t had much to do, I know that. The Pocari CF filming wasn’t much, so we’ve been able to do our thing and kind of relax a bit. Which is nice! Don’t get me wrong! But Mina hasn’t done anything but lay down and watch an endless stream of movies. I want to do something to get her out. At least for a while, you know?”

The members didn’t speak up for a while. It took a bit for Sana to realize that she hadn’t given them permission to speak yet. Once she did, opinions and comments bombarded her.

“What if she doesn’t want to do anything you suggest to her?” was one question that made it to her ears. It was Chaeyoung’s question, and Sana knew she was right.

Jihyo raised a hand and waited until the shouts ceased.

“Sana,” she began calmly, smiling gently at her, “I see what you are trying to do, and I get now why you wouldn’t want her here. She’d be sad that you’re worrying so much about her. Am I right?” When Sana nodded, Jihyo continued. “Good. I heard Chaeyoung’s question loud and clear. And she’s right. Maybe Mina is perfectly fine with the way she’s spending our break.”

Sana deflated. She thought it was a good plan, but judging by everyone else’s responses, maybe she should have kept it to herself.

“But.” Jihyo said it loudly enough for Sana to snap back to the conversation. “But… There’s nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with her. I know from experience that Mina is a delight to be around. She’s a bit introverted, but if you take her out, she opens up a bit. It’s nice.”

Dahyun raised her hand. “I think I’d like that too. If we were to be honest, I’m a lot like Mina. I don’t get out of my room much, right? It’s not as extreme as Mina, but you get my point. When one of you guys ask me to hang out, it feels good. Even if I liked what I was doing, which is usually just sleep and watch dramas, it’s always fun in the end to spend time with you guys. I think Mina is the same, just a bit tougher to convince.”

Jeongyeon nodded. “I think it’s good too. She usually hangs out with you, Jihyo, and you always come back smiling like a dork. It’s cute, you know? I say we give it a chance. What exactly did you have in mind, Sana?”

“Well, I hadn’t really planned a whole lot," she said, rubbing her hands together nervously. "I didn’t think this far ahead. I honestly just wanted all of us to spend time with her. Take her out of her room for a bit, even if it’s just to get some fresh air. Our breaks aren’t ever this long, and I want to make this one a nice one. Dare I say, maybe even a memorable break?”

“That’s good,” Jihyo said. “I like that. Did you plan on all of us going together or in groups? I think maybe all nine of us wouldn’t be such a good idea. You know how it is.”

“We get really loud,” Momo said. “I doubt Mina is ever comfortable with that.”

Chaeyoung spoke up. “So then what? Do we split up and go hang out with her in groups? We don’t have a whole lot of time, I think. We better get this sorted out.”

Their manager stepped into the room and smiled timidly. “Sorry to barge into your discussion but I couldn’t help but overhear. You guys have practice tomorrow, unfortunately. The new choreography was slightly changed and you have to relearn it.” She waited for the groans to die down. “After that, though, you have exactly ten days of virtual freedom. So you guys have today and tomorrow to at least think of what you want to do with Mina. If you plan on taking her to a museum or something of the like, it's best to buy tickets in advance.”

Nayeon raised her hand to grab everyone’s attention. “Actually… we may not even need tomorrow to think about it. I have an idea that you all might like.”

Sana beamed at her. “What is it? I'm all ears.”

All the members, plus their manager, let out a “Wow~” in unison after hearing the plan. It was...actually pretty good?

Nayeon frowned. “Hey, of course it’s a good plan. I’m smart! I have good ideas once in a while too.”

“Once in a while, yeah. But I think with that ‘Waa~’ we all just did, we all seem to agree with the plan? Remember, each member individually will take Mina on a date, making eight different activities for her to enjoy.” Jihyo said, grinning at everyone.

Tzuyu raised her hand. “Can I go first? I already have something in mind.”

Everyone was surprised to see the maknae want to start first, but nevertheless, they agreed to let Tzuyu start. It would give everyone else more time to come up with something to do with Mina.

Jihyo grabbed Sana by the shoulders and shook her lightheartedly. “Okay, Sana. You and Nayeon’s plan is in motion starting after tomorrow. Let’s all hope that Mina enjoys this and remembers it as a very nice experience.”

The members quietly did a cheer and quickly resumed their usual activities, and just in time too. Mina got up and exited the room right as the youngest members headed to their own.

“Hey. I got hungry. Sorry for not even saying hello to anyone all day…I got caught up in my movies, I guess.” She stopped when she saw the remaining girls looking at her suspisciously. “W-what’s up?”

Sana skipped up to her and rubbed her nose onto Mina’s shoulder. “Nothing Minari! We're all glad to see you're up is all! I’ll reheat something for you! Sit yourself down!”

From the other room, Dahyun and Chaeyoung stared from above Tzuyu’s shoulder as she pulled up a tab on her computer.

“I think Mina’s gonna love it,” Chaeyoung said approvingly as she saw what Tzuyu had in plan.

"Think so? I've seen Mina watch vlogs about it, and it interests me as well."

"It's genius. I better come up with something that's as good as this!" Dahyun said, running to grab her phone and begin her hunt for a good date.

Tzuyu smiled at the compliments her friends gave her as she finished typing and hit enter.
