Author's Note: I just wanted to say that Mina's Melody Project is the best thing to have ever blessed this earth.

May 4th, 2018. 6:45 AM.

 

The bunny girl was outside, watching the sunrise. She was sitting on a chair she had set up, occasionally checking her phone for any activity on the group chat. After the events of last night, she woke up in a great mood, but then she started to wonder how the two girls would tell everyone about their relationship. As far as their concerned, everyone else thinks Tzuyu is straight. They would be wrong, but Nayeon wondered how she would go around to tell everyone.

 

She sat up and walked back inside the house. To her surprise, Tzuyu was up early.

 

“Oh, hey,” Nayeon said.

 

Tzuyu was sitting on the couch, looking at the bunny girl. “H-Hey, Nayeon..”

 

The older girl sat next to her. “Hey, so, I need to talk to you.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“So... now that we're a thing now... how are we going to come out to the others?”

 

Tzuyu looked down. “That's... actually what I was thinking about.”

 

The bunny girl sighed. “As far they know, you're straight.”

 

The younger girl looked up at her. “Yeah, and that's a big problem.”

 

“But... You know them, they'll be accepting.”

 

“I-I know... but I'm still scared.”

 

The bunny girl put a comforting hand on Tzuyu's hand. “It's okay, we'll do it together.”

 

------------------------------

 

5:45 PM.

 

At the front of a restaurant, Nayeon and Tzuyu were there preparing themselves.

 

“I'm sure they'll understand.” The bunny girl said. “They're your parents.”

 

The younger girl sighed. “I-I know... but I've been living with them for so long, what if they don't want me to move out?”

 

The older girl shrugged. “Guess we'll find out.”

 

Tzuyu took a deep breath, and then entered the front, Nayeon following behind.

 

It didn't take long for the girls to find Tzuyu's parents, seeing the couple sitting at a table for four. Conveniently, her parents were sitting next to each other on one side, which left the other side available for the two girls to sit next to each other. After taking their seats, they ordered their food. Now, it was time for the conversation.

 

“So.. Tzuyu-sweetie, have you decided?” Her mother asked. The younger girl fell silent, a bit nervous. The older girl put a hand on Tzuyu's shoulder. “Hey, it's okay.”

 

The younger girl nodded. “Y-Yeah..” She looked at her parents. “I've decided that I'm going to stay with Nayeon.”

 

Her two parents both looked at each other, then they faced Tzuyu with smiles on their faces. “We're glad, Tzuyu.”

 

The younger girl was a bit confused. “Glad..?”

 

Her mother sighed. “We love having you with us, we do... but, as you know, we're getting older, and we're afraid that it would be too much to handle with you around-”

“-And we know that Nayeon treats you okay, considering that you're fine with staying with her. And it's good that you're already being a strong independent woman, we're proud of you.” Her father interjected.

 

“That went better than expected.” Nayeon thought to herself. Tzuyu's mother turned to face Nayeon. “Since we're entrusting you with our daughter, please do everything in your power to make sure she turns out okay from now on.”

 

Once again, the man added something in. “And if you ever hurt Tzuyu...”

 

“J-Jeez, dad, you're talking to her like she's my boyfriend or something..” Tzuyu said, a small blush appeared on her cheeks.

 

Her father chuckled. “Sorry sweetie, it's the dad in me.”

 

The bunny girl glanced up to the ceiling, sighed, and looked back to Tzuyu's father. “Don't worry, Mr. Chou, I'll take good care of your daughter.”

 

The man nodded. “Good.”

 

Time flew by, and the two girls were now standing outside, waving their goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs. Chou. Once the parents' car was fully departed, the younger girl wrapped her arms around Nayeon in a warm embrace.

 

“Bunnyy!” Tzuyu said. “I'm so happy that I'm moving in with you!” The bunny girl smiled. “I'm happy too, honey.”

 

------------------------------

 

6:39 PM.

 

The girls finally arrived home. The bunny girl tossed her jacket off, just throwing it onto the couch. Her jacket wasn't the only thing she threw onto the couch, as she let all her weight fall onto the couch. The younger girl, on the other hand, went over to the kitchen, presumably to get some food.

 

“Hey, Tzuyu,” Nayeon said, looking over the kitchen island to see Tzuyu opening the fridge.

 

“What's up?”

 

The bunny girl stretched. “So, I was thinking of inviting our friends over, so we can come out to them.”

 

The younger girl pouted. “Do we have to do that right now, bunny? I know we talked about it earlier, but I wanted to spend some time as just us two together, in our little world...”

 

“Well, then... tell me when you're ready.”

 

Tzuyu walked over to Nayeon, holding a cup of water. She set it down on the table in front of the couch and sat next to Nayeon. The younger girl lied her head on Nayeon's lap, and the bunny girl started to slowly her hair.

 

The two girls really enjoyed this moment with each other.

 

------------------------------

 

6:41 PM.

 

At Jihyo's house, the JYP trainee was lying on her bed, but the blonde was busy using her laptop.

 

“Hey, Dahyun,” Jihyo said.

 

“Mmmm?” The blonde said.

 

The JYP trainee smiled as the younger girl turned around to face her. “I just wanted to say your name.”

 

The blonde giggled. “That's cute, Jihyo.”

 

Dahyun closed Jihyo's laptop and got on the bed, lying next to her best friend.

 

“I haven't asked in a while... have you gotten any news from JYP?” The blonde asked.

 

The older girl looked away. “No.”

 

Dahyun sat up. “I'm sorry. Like I've said before, he's an idiot.”

 

“I-I don't know about that..”

 

“Do you really want me to repeat what I've always been saying? You deserved to debut way back in Sixteen.”

 

“T-To be fair, that group didn't do so good...”

 

“Maybe if you were there you could have saved that group.” The younger girl stood up from the bed. “Or maybe not. That bunch of girls was pretty bad... Hell, I bet the nine of us would be a better girl group than that seven.”

 

Jihyo looked at Dahyun. “The nine of us?”

 

The blonde nodded. “You, Me, Chaeyoung, Nayeon, Tzuyu, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, and Mina.”

 

The JYP trainee titled her head. “Why do you think our circle of friends would be good as K-Idols? What would our group even be called?”

 

“I dunno. Sounds cool though, right?”

 

“I'd think twice about that..”

 

Dahyun crossed her arms and pouted. “You're so meeeaaannn!”

 

Jihyo got up from the bed. “I can sing, yeah, but... the other girls?”

 

Suddenly, a bright smile formed on Dahyun's face. “IDEA! KARAOKE!”

 

“Oh gosh,” Jihyo said. “What have I done?”

 

------------------------------

 

FRIENDIES!

 

Dahyun: karaoke???

 

Dahyun: yeah???

 

Jeongyeon: dubu you've gotta be joking.

 

Nayeon: singing? Us?

 

Nayeon: I'm going to sound like Jeongyeon, but I don't want to do that.

 

Jeongyeon: what's that supposed to mean? ._.

 

Tzuyu: it means ur boring lol

 

Jeongyeon: you nayeon and tzuyu

 

Nayeon: mwah

 

Tzuyu: no thanks.

 

Jihyo: don't ignore dubu.

 

Nayeon: It's just like, karaoke?

 

Dahyun: it's something we haven't done before!

 

Jihyo: it sounds like a wonderful idea!

 

Jeongyeon: of course you'd say that, Jihyo.

 

Jihyo: is something wrong with that?

 

Jeongyeon: attached to the hip

 

Dahyun: jeongyeon-unnie, you don't wanna do karaoke?

 

Jeongyeon: lol and not spend time with my best friends?

 

Nayeon: hey did you girls know that Jeongyeon's best friends are Jihyo and Dahyun?

 

Jeongyeon: I get it, I say it a lot.

 

Jeongyeon: I'm just flexing because I have cool best friends and you don't, Nayeon.

 

Tzuyu: wow okay.

 

Dahyun: are you done?

 

Jeongyeon: well, anyway, I'm heading to Karaoke.

 

Sana: Karaoke sounds fine, I'll bring Seulgi!

 

Momo: I'm coming too!

 

Nayeon: I guess, right? Tzuyu?

 

Tzuyu: sure.

 

Jihyo: You already know I'm coming with.

 

Dahyun: and with me, so that's 7.

 

Dahyun: Chaeyoung?

 

Chaeyoung: yeah sure why not

 

Chaeyoung: just don't surprised if Mina doesn't come lol

 

Chaeyoung: she never comes to these events

 

~~Myoui Mina has gone online!~~.

 

Dahyun: minari, we're going to do karaoke! Wanna come?

 

Mina: I'm sorry, but I don't want to.

 

Dahyun: aw, that's okay!

 

~~Myoui Mina has gone offline!~~

 

Chaeyoung: told you so

 

Chaeyoung: but maybe her boyfriend can change her mind

 

Jihyo: um, Wonpil is NOT her boyfriend.

 

Chaeyoung: he isn't?

 

Jihyo: did you really think he was her boyfriend all this time?

 

Chaeyoung: I'm just messing with you!

 

Chaeyoung: anyways, karaoke when?

 

Dahyun: 9:45 pm sounds good?

 

Nayeon: sure!

 

Dahyun: ok, see you, girls, then!

 

------------------------------

 

7:31 PM.

 

After a decent amount of time, Sana finally arrived at Seulgi's house. She approached the door and knocked. Not even ten seconds flew by before the door flew open, and Sana was pulled into the house.

 

“Gah! What the heck?!” Sana said, taking a few steps back as Seulgi closed her door.

 

“Do... do you see the time?” The SM trainee remarked. “What are you doing so late?”

 

“huh.”

 

“Huh, what?”

 

“It's 7 PM...” The Japanese girl said.

 

The Korean girl stared blankly, before immediately facepalming herself. “I have NOOO idea why I thought it was 1 AM.”

 

Sana just gaped at Seulgi in bewildered amusement. “Do you even look outside? The sun's JUST setting!”

 

The Korean girl sighed. “My windows make look WAAAYYYY darker than they actually are.” Seulgi walked over to her kitchen and pulled out a bottle of champagne from her fridge.

 

“Oh my gosh, that looks so expensive...” Sana said. “W-Why do you have it just shoved up in your fridge?” The SM trainee poured herself a cup of it. “A-And a cup? You really don't know how to use champagne? Hold on, are you drunk?”

 

Seulgi rolled her eyes. “Just a little buzzed. Sana, though, look out my windows.” The Korean girl brought the Japanese girl over to one of her windows in her living room. She opened the curtain, showing how tinted the window was.

 

“It... actually does look dark,” Sana said. “Don't you have a phone?”

 

The SM trainee drank some of her champagne, and set it down. “Phone's dead. Don't care enough to look at my oven and .”

 

The Japanese girl nodded her head in realization. “That explains why you weren't answering my texts.”

 

“What brings you here though?” Seulgi asked.

 

The Japanese girl took the cup from Seulgi's hand. “Karaoke.”

 

The Korean girl reached out weakly as Sana dumped out the champagne. “Sana you know that 's expensive..”

 

The Japanese girl rolled her eyes. “Whatever. I'm going to wait for you to sober up.”

 

The SM trainee sat on the couch. The Japanese girl went over to Seulgi's coffee maker. Seulgi sighed loudly. “I'm just slightly buzzed, I'm not drunk.”

 

Sana rolled her eyes. “Doesn't matter, you need to be at your A-game.”

 

The Korean girl yawned. “For Karaoke? With your friends?” Sana nodded.

 

The SM trainee took a few moments to think, and then spoke up. “Mmm... that sounds really fun. I'm going to totally destroy them.”

 

“Uh, it's not a competition.”

 

Seulgi raised an eyebrow. “Have you gone to Karaoke? There's only one Karaoke place here, and trust me: It's a very elaborate set-up, and it has some sort of thing where it like, scores your vocals compared to the original vocals. It's from a rating of 1-100. You can even have duets or have your scores compared against friends.”

 

Sana just stared at her for a couple of seconds, a bit bewildered. “Huh. Didn't think karaoke was that serious.”

 

“I go to the karaoke place all the time. After all, my singing is why SM accepted me.”

 

“Well, even then, Jihyo's going to completely destroy you.”

 

The SM trainee huffed. “We'll see about that.”

 

------------------------------

 

7:47 PM

 

Back at Jihyo's house, the two girls heard a knock at the door. The older girl opened the front door, to see that Mina was waiting behind.

 

“Ah, Mina,” Jihyo said. “I wasn't expecting to see you here..”

 

The Japanese girl smiled weakly. “I hope I'm not interrupting... s-sorry if I am..”

 

The JYP trainee pulled the girl into a hug, surprising her. After a couple of beats, Jihyo pulled away. “You look like you needed a hug.”

 

The Japanese girl just smiled in response. “T-Thank you..”

 

The older girl motioned for the Japanese girl to head inside, in which she did. After shutting the door, the JYP trainee called out for her childhood friend. The blonde exited the bedroom and saw Mina standing next to Jihyo.

 

“Minari! I didn't know you were coming!” Dahyun greeted, walking over to the Japanese girl.

 

“I-I wasn't planning to...” Mina said. “B-But... I-I had a change of heart...”

 

“So, do you plan on coming to karaoke with us? We're going to leave in a couple of hours..”

 

“Y-Yeah... I'm not much of a singer, though..”

 

Jihyo offered the girl a comforting smile. “It's okay. As long as you're there with us, that's all that matters.” The Japanese girl felt an overwhelming warmness in her heart. She still wondered why everyone was so nice to her, even though she felt like she didn't deserve it. Why should she? She's just a dis-

 

“Minari!” Dahyun said, snapping the girl out of her thoughts.

 

“Y-Yeah?” She said, stumbling back a bit.

 

“You looked like you were going to space there for a sec!”

 

“S-Sorry...”

 

“Hey, what about Wonpil?” Jihyo asked. “You could bring him along. You always seem more comfortable with him.”

 

“S-So, you've noticed...”

 

“We're not hurt, Wonpil's your best friend after all. All of us appreciate that you're trying your best to be our friend, and we hope that one day you'll be more comfortable with us like you're comfortable with Wonpil.”

 

Mina looked up to her. “N-No... I am comfortable with you girls... I-It's just...”

 

The JYP trainee put a hand on the girl's shoulder. “Hey, it's okay. As I said, we're all understanding.”

 

“Okay..”

 

The JYP trainee pulled out her phone and sent one message to the group chat.

 

“Mina's coming.”

 

------------------------------

 

FRIENDIES!

 

Jihyo: Mina's coming

 

Jeongyeon: yay!

 

Chaeyoung: oh, is she now?

 

Chaeyoung: how surprising.

 

Nayeon: chaeyoung, do you not like Mina ?_?

 

Chaeyoung: no, I'm fine with her

 

Chaeyoung: it's just like I said, she's part of this group, and yet she's never really around when we hang out.

 

Tzuyu: I kinda get it, you don't have to be y about it tho.

 

Dahyun: omg can you not

 

Chaeyoung: no, I get it.

 

Chaeyoung: sorry.

 

Jihyo: Minari yay!!!

 

------------------------------

 

9:31 PM.

 

The first to arrive at the karaoke place were Jihyo, Dahyun, and Mina. The three girls were met with a pleasant surprise, as Wonpil was inside, waiting for them. He had already rented out one of the bigger karaoke rooms for two hours and was waiting inside. The room was big, with a couple of seating booths, a small stage in the middle with the karaoke machine resting, and a few chairs surrounded the stage. Of course, there were TVs placed all over the room so the singer could read the lyrics.

 

The girl made their way into the room, and once they were inside, Mina immediately ran over to the keyboardist and hugged him.

 

“Hey there,” Wonpil said, hugging the girl back. “It's good to see you too.”

 

After some seconds, Mina pulled away. Jihyo walked over to the system. “Oh gosh.”

 

The keyboardist looked over to the trainee. “What's up?”

 

The girl laughed nervously. “Are you going to sing too?”

 

The bandmate shrugged. “Maybe.”

 

“Okay, then it's a wrap, !” A voice said, barging in. The group of four turned around to see Seulgi walking in, with Sana just behind her.

 

“Oh hey there Sana!” Dahyun said, waving at the Japanese girl.

 

“Hi...” Sana replied, but her eyes were on Jihyo, who was looking so beautiful right now.

 

Seulgi threw herself onto one of the seats. “Just saying, I'm totally going to crush all of you.”

 

The blonde immediately turned to face Seulgi. “There's a literal K-Idol right next to us. You sure about that?”

 

The SM trainee rolled her eyes. “mmmeehhh..”

 

Jihyo looked at her watch. “It's 9:33.”

 

The blonde looked over to her childhood friend and offered a smile. “Don't worry, the others will be here soon.”

 

Seulgi yawned. “So who's idea was this?”

 

The JYP trainee looked at Seulgi. “Dahyun's.”

 

The SM trainee nodded. “And why did you think of this, Kim Dahyun?”

The blonde felt a bit weirded out at being referred to her full name, but she answered nonetheless. “Well, Jihyo and I were talking about sixteen.. and uh, I thought that Jihyo would make a great leader. And everyone knows about the group that resulted from sixteen... how they disbanded after one comeback because of how bad they were.”

 

Wonpil frowned. “They tried their hardest, Dahyun.”

 

The blonde sighed. “I know, but still... the facts the facts. Anyways, I told Jihyo that Me, Her, Sana, Momo, Jeongyeon, Nayeon, Tzuyu, Chaeyoung, and Mina would probably make a better girl group than that other group.”

 

Mina looked away. “I-I'm flattered... but I'm not much of a singer..”

 

“Ah, It was an in the moment comment. I invited all of you here because I actually do want to see how good of singers you all actually are.”

 

Seulgi nodded. “Mmmm, interesting, interesting!”

 

Two more girls entered the room, which was Nayeon and Tzuyu.

 

“Heeyyaa!” Nayeon said. “I'm ready to completely destroy this room!”

 

Tzuyu narrowed her eyes. “Oh gee, that sounds soo exciting..”

 

The keyboardist chuckled nervously. “Don't actually destroy this room, please.”

 

“It's a metaphor. Or whatever you call it.” The bunny girl sighed loudly.

 

The blonde noted something different about the two girls. Despite Nayeon and Tzuyu's best efforts to hide their hands, Dahyun could clearly see that the two girls were holding hands.

 

“Mhh, what's up with that?” Dahyun remarked, gazing at the two girl's hands. Nayeon noticed where Dahyun was staring, so she instinctively let go of Tzuyu's hand, and walked forward towards one of the seats. The younger girl felt a bit hurt, but she could understand Nayeon's reaction. After all, this will be a lot for the others to take in.

 

“...that doesn't exactly answer my question.” The blonde stated. Before any other words could be said, the door opened again. Momo had finally arrived.

 

“Oh hey.” Sana greeted. “I almost thought you weren't coming.”

 

The dance teacher sighed. “I got held up a bit, but I'm here, so that's all that matters.”

 

Seulgi looked at her. “What held you up?”

 

“WE'RE HERE!” A voice cheerfully said. Orange hair went into view from the doorway, immediately giving away that Chaeyoung had arrived. Behind the short girl was also Jeongyeon, who seemed a bit annoyed.

 

“Oh goodie, the gang's all here,” Seulgi remarked. Jihyo walked over to the machine. Jeongyeon shut the door to the room and walked over to the JYP trainee.

 

“I brought Miss Minari hater,” Jeongyeon remarked.

 

Jihyo sighed. “She doesn't hate Mina, you know.”

 

“I know, I'm just ing with you. It's just... ugh... Chaeyoung spent the past 30 minutes blabbering about her boyfriend. Ugh, love...”

 

The taller girl walked off, while Jihyo started to mess with the machine a bit, finding the tracklist. “Oh my gosh. T-That's a lot of songs!”

 

“Jihyo's getting excited,” Chaeyoung said.

 

“Ooohhh, how naughty..” Seulgi remarked. Sana responded by hitting Seulgi on the shoulder, scolding the girl for her inappropriate comment.

 

“Who's going first anyway..” Nayeon asked, chewing on a pocky she had bought. The bunny girl pulled out a pocky and put it in front of her girlfriend. The Tawainese girl stared at it and then grabbed it. “T-Thanks.”

 

“How gay,” Seulgi said. This time, Sana lightly hit Seulgi on the back of her head. “Ow Sana that hurts!”

 

Minatozaki groaned. “Seulgi, don't make me kick you out. You KNOW I'll kick you out if you keep that up.”

 

The SM trainee whimpered. “Okay miss Minatozaki..”

 

Jeongyeon rolled her eyes. “Do you ever get tired of being annoying?”

 

Seulgi looked over to the long-haired girl and scoffed. “That's what makes me fun, and endearing.”

 

Jeongyeon scoffed. The JYP trainee was still looking at the tracklist, and Mina walked over to her.

 

“Ah, J-Jihyo...” Mina said. “I... know a song.”

 

The JYP trainee looked over to her. “Oh?”

 

The Japanese girl nodded. “There's a song I heard... it's from an artist... T-TOY, was it? A-Anyways... it's called Good Person!"

 

The JYP trainee nodded, and pressed the search function on the touchscreen, typing down the name of the song. To her pleasure, the song was available. “It's on this machine, actually.”

 

The Japanese girl looked up. “I-It is?”

 

“Would you like me to sing it?”

 

Mina looked down. “N-No, that's okay... I just wanted to see if it was there.”

 

And with that, the girl walked over to a booth, sitting down. The JYP trainee stared sadly, and then her childhood friend walked over to her. “You know what I just thought of, Jihyo?”

 

The older girl looked at her. “Yeah?”

 

“Duet.”

 

“...Duet?” Jihyo asked. Dahyun nodded. “You and I could sing a song together!”

 

“Hey, uh, everyone!” Tzuyu said, standing up from where she was sitting. “I... I have something I need to tell you.” Nayeon gave Tzuyu a reassuring nod. Once everyone had their eyes set on Tzuyu, she continued. “How do I say this... mmm... um... I'm... Ugh, I don't know how to say it. Whatever. Uh... I'm gay.”

 

“Okay, cool,” Seulgi remarked. “How cute!”

 

“I hope you weren't expecting a negative response,” Jeongyeon stated. “This entire group is LGBT friendly, ya know?”

 

“I-I know...” Tzuyu replied. “How many of us are LGBT, actually?”

 

“Well, me, Nayeon, and Sana are gay!” Dahyun said. “Add in you now, Tzuyu!”

 

“And Seulgi, Mina, Momo, Chaeyoung, and Jeongyeon are biual,” Sana replied.

 

“Oh, and Wonpil is the only straight person in this group,” Jeongyeon said.

 

“UH-” Jihyo stuttered on her words as Jeongyeon just-

 

“Wait, Jihyo?” Nayeon said. “Yoo Jeongyeon, has age gotten to you?”

 

“Oh, shut up you goddamn grandma!” The tall girl remarked. “Sorry, Jihyo totally slipped! Jihyo and Wonpil are the only straight ones in this group!”

 

Jihyo and Jeongyeon both shared a look, and then they sighed.

 

“Not to sound rude, but uh... are we actually even going to do karaoke?” Seulgi said. “It feels like we've been leading up to karaoke for like, a long time.”

 

“Right, totally forgot about that,” Jihyo said.

 

Tzuyu sat next to Nayeon, as the bunny girl looked at her. The Tawainese girl whispered into her ear. “We'll tell them about our relationship some other day.” Nayeon would have liked to tell them now, but she respects Tzuyu's wish.

 

“Oh uh, speaking of...” Jihyo said. “I'm actually biual.”

 

“Yeah, that makes more sense,” Nayeon replied.

 

“Why does that make more sense?” Jihyo asked, a bit confused. The bunny girl put a pocky in between her teeth. “It just does, kay?” The JYP trainee sighed and put on a song.

 

------------------------------

 

10:50 PM

 

So far, Jihyo had sung 2 songs alone, and 3 songs with Dahyun. Wonpil put on what was essentially a solo concert of him just singing DAY6 songs. Afterward, Seulgi sang a few songs too. After Seulgi, Jeongyeon sang, then Sana, and then Momo.

 

Just right now, Nayeon had finished singing. Jeongyeon looked at her phone.

 

“Ah ,” Jeongyeon said. “Hey, sorry everyone.. I have to go already.”

 

“Aw, so soon?” Dahyun replied. “I'm hurt.”

 

The girl sighed. “I got stuff to do soon. I'll see you all tomorrow.” Jeonyeon hugged everyone goodbye, and then made her leave.

 

Wonpil looked at his phone. “Our time's almost up, actually.”

 

Mina looked at the machine, then at Wonpil. “H-Hey... Wonpil..”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Um... Do you think we can come back here some other time? J-Just us two.”

 

The keyboardist thought about it. “Sure, I suppose we can.”

 

“I want to sing before we close up,” Chaeyoung said. “I've literally been practicing this one song, for like, ages.” The orange-haired girl found the song and started it.

 

------------------------------

 

11:10 PM.

 

After a couple more songs from everyone except for Mina and Wonpil, the group was preparing to leave. Chaeyoung, Sana, Momo, and Seulgi had already left, while Mina and Wonpil were saying their goodbyes. Dahyun was throwing away some trash.

 

The JYP trainee looked over to her friend. “So, Dahyun, what's your verdict?”

 

The blonde smiled. “Perfect group.”

 

Jihyo giggled. “That's what I thought too. What should our name be?”

 

“TWICE.”

 

“Hm, why TWICE?”

 

“This might sound cheesy.. but it's because this group's bond is twice as strong as any other's.”

 

The older girl smiled. “That does sound cheesy, but I like it, Dubu.”

 

Nayeon and Tzuyu were still sitting in the booth.

 

“So... Tzuyu, when do you want us to tell them?” The bunny girl asked.

 

The Tawainese girl thought about it. “Maybe in a couple of days. I just really want to enjoy it being us two for a couple of days, bunny.”

 

“I can live with that.”

 

Mina hugged Wonpil goodbye. “Thank you for coming, I really appreciate it.”

 

The keyboardist nodded, the girl pulling away. “Hey, you know I'll always be there for you.”

 

“T-Thank you..”

 

After saying their last goodbyes, everyone departed the karaoke place and made their way home.

 

------------------------------

 

May 5th, 2018. 2:21 PM.

 

Jihyo and Dahyun were out at the grocery store, getting food for Jihyo to cook.

 

“Hey, have you gotten any news about your parents?” Jihyo asked. “I... haven't asked in a while.”

 

Dahyun sighed. “Divorce still pending. When it's done, they'll tell me, and you know you'll be the first I tell.”

 

The JYP trainee sighed. “Gosh...”

 

The blonde looked over to the chocolate milk inside one of the fridges in the diary area. “I know, it's been a while since they started the divorce process. I sort of figured it would be done by now, but it seems like the negotiations are still... a lot.”

 

“Do you ever wish things would be back to the way they were?” Jihyo asked.

 

The blonde fell silent. “To be honest... I think this was for the best. I-I know that sounds bad... but with how their relationship was going, I feel like this is the best option for them.”

 

Dahyun walked over and took the chocolate milk gallon out of the fridge, and put it in the cart Jihyo was pushing. The JYP trainee sighed but continued on her path.

 

Jihyo thought about her feelings for Dahyun. She.. wanted, no, needed to confess her feelings for Dahyun to the girl. But... when? And how? She can't just blurt it out.. she needs to find the right time to tell her.

 

Maybe... at Dahyun's birthday. It could go one of two ways: If Dahyun feels the same way, it could be the greatest birthday gift for the girl. Or... Dahyun doesn't feel the same way, and Jihyo just completely destroyed a 20-year-old friendship.
