“You could just confess.” Yeri said nonchalantly while munching on a bag of chips.

“Confess?!” Seulgi practically shouted in disbelief, only to have Yeri shush her with a finger to her lips.  Oh right, they were having a secret meeting.  “There is no way I could confess!” Seulgi was whisper-shouting now, which was a little better.

“You don’t have to whisper silly, just don’t shout.”  Yeri paused to eat another chip.  “Well, if you don’t want to confess, then just move on.”

Seulgi let her shoulders slump.  Surely there was something else she could do.  Seulgi might come off as carefree most of the time, but she didn’t like giving up, it didn’t make her feel good. Plus she really liked Joy, she just didn’t know what to do with the feelings she had for the younger girl.

“Or…” Yeri trailed off for dramatic affect, the salt from the chips off of her fingers.

Seulgi suddenly sat straighter, excited and relieved to hear what Yeri’s next option would be.

“We could work towards confessing.  No one said you have to do it now.”

Seulgi thought for a moment before speaking up.  “What do you mean?  What would I do?”

Yeri smiled mischievously, but of course Seulgi didn’t notice.  “Well, Wendy obviously didn’t just come out of nowhere and ask Irene to be her girlfriend, she-”

Seulgi gasped, startling Yeri.  “Irene asked Wendy out?!”

“No! Well, I don’t really know- but that’s not the point!”  Yeri sighed before continuing.  “What I’m trying to say is that there was some build up.  I mean, we all saw them flirting, since we were all trainees.”  

Seulgi nodded “Yeah, it wasn’t too much at first, but it kept getting more and more obvious.”

“Exactly.” Yeri pulled out a notebook and pen, then moved so she was sitting next to Seulgi.  “That’s what we’re going to do.  So, let’s come up with some subtle ways you can flirt with Joy.”

Joy, after spending the day at multiple photoshoots, was happy to be at home.  She usually likes spending her free time outside, but recently she's been very busy, so being lazy at the dorm sounds perfect to her.

“Hey Joy!” Wendy said with her usually contagious energy “How were the photoshoots?” 

“Unnie I’m tired~” Joy whined.  She almost asked the older girl to come cuddle, but thought against it.  Not a good idea.

“Want me to make you something?”  

There she goes, making Joy’s heart flutter again.  Wendy’s just being nice, she’d do the same for anyone else.  Joy wished that she didn’t have to remind herself every single time.  “Yes please.”

As Wendy began preparing something in the kitchen, Seulgi and Yeri walked in and sat on the couch with her.  They have been hanging out a lot, Joy thought absentmindedly. 

“Joy?” Seulgi asked, surprising the younger girl.  She seemed a bit nervous?  It was hard to place.

“Yeah?” Joy prompted.

“How was your day?”  

Joy was surprised with the question.  Why didn’t Seulgi just come out and say it?  “It was good Unnie, just busy.  Wendy-unnie is cooking me something now, since I missed lunch.”

“I could cook you something!” Seulgi said suddenly, surprising Joy again.

Seulgi rarely cooks, and it was beyond strange for her to
