Chapter 12: Conflict

Girls of the Elites




"It's here to be delivered" the last phrase Jihyo spoke of when they figured about the A.I android that attacked them

"What do you mean?.. Delivered?" Nayeon walked closely to the robot to find clues about it's purpose "and to who?"

"delivered? but it attacked us like there was no tomorrow" Jeongyeon panicked looking around the dark area

"It was a test, a delivery test.." Jihyo added

"then why an attack" Dahyun asked

"That I don't know why, but I know where it's from..." Jihyo handed the core with the company initials at the back of the manufacturer.

"S-sigma?" Nayeon widened her eyes with disbelief, as soon as everyone heard the name of the manufacturer they all looked at Chaeyoung with confusion. Nayeon walked towards her carrying the core "Chaeyoung? your company owns S.I.G.M.A right?"

"Yeah that is correct.. but I swear I have no intentions with that robot or why is it out to get me" Chaeyoung waved her hands ensuring that she had nothing to do with it. Dahyun interrupted "Unnie, if it was here to be delivered to Chaeyoung, why was it trying to kill her" she pierces her eyes with seriousness "Don't you think it's odd that S.I.G.M.A is behind this?"

"yeah, but S.I.G.M.A is a lead to everything that has been going on in here." Jihyo added

"and maybe, Sigma, also knows something about the Hiyouitozaki sisters, don't you think?" Nayeon walked in front of Chaeyoung "I know you have nothing to do with this, but in caution, we need to know more about your company Chae" she reached out for Chaeyoung's shoulder.

Chaeyoung pulled out as if she felt she was being accused "I am telling you, I have nothing to do with this. I don't even care about the Company, Unnie! you of all people know that I don't even want to be part of the Son family!" She raised her voice pulling away from the group

"I know, but what I am saying is, we need to get closer to your company, know the details Chaeyoung. You, Dahyun, Tzuyu and Jeong are the only ones who has access to Son Holding Industries. We just need to know, where is the Sigma Robot coming from, who is behind all this, and we'll need all four of you for that." she reached out to Chaeyoung calming her down

"Come on, Vacation time is over, we gotta work with the investigation, and this time!" Nayeon turned and walked away "We are getting back up"

"Omy! This excites me, it's thrilling and exciting at the same time" Jihyo had a big grin while walking out of the dark area of the park

"why are you so excited Jihyo?" Jeongyeon asked tilting her head

"Well, ORS has teams, districts and division! When Nayeon asks for backup! that means we'll get to meet the different specialized team for each assignments! you'll meet the best of the best teens all over the city! heck! we might meet Metro District too!" Jihyo explained excitingly jumping up and down as they move towards leaving Everland

"So you're telling me? there's more ORS in Corona?" Jeongyeon widened her eyes with amusement

"Of course, what do you think  we are? mere commoner kids with just a lot of time in their hands?" Nayeon laughed

"More like Mystery Inc and Scooby doo if you ask me" Tzuyu chuckled

"Hey?!"

"Make Jeongyeon the dog! I'd rather be the cool Jock" Dahyun added

"Why am I the dog? why can't you, you little twit! I am older than you!"

"I am way smarter" Dahyun pulled out her tongue taunting the latter

"why you little-" Jeongyeon began prancing over to the latter causing them to run in circles and the others continued to laugh with the situation

 

Right as the scene has been going on between the girls, an unknown person was found to be standing by the tree branch overlooking the girls in a top view "Well then, right on queue"

"Is everything according to plan?"  a voice spoke over him through his headset

"Affirmative, We are ready for Phase 2"

"Where are the girls?"

"They left right before the delivery as planned, but I doubt they notice the girls are in it yet"

"Good, by now, they'll figure out the Sigma core we left in the robot. And they are now preparing for an attack investigation within the company as planned"

"Delivery is successful Ma'am"

"Ecstatic! Enough for us to move to Phase 2... contact the girls to start diverting the attention of the young heirs"

"Ma'am, What if the girls find out who you are?"

"That's Impossible.. I doubt they'll ever find me.. besides.... I am closer than they think"

"Tzuyu! Goodmorning"  Chaeyoung ran towards Tzuyu who was walking out of her dorm

"Goodmorning Unnie..."

"Hey, you okay?"

"yeah just needed some time alone, or maybe to jog my mind a bit"

"what's up? it's not about last night right?"

"That.. and another thing"

"What is it? Come on, I'll join you for the morning runs"

"You sure?"

"Yeap, how bout we bring Dahyun as well.."

"No.. I just, really wanted to be alone.."

"Come on, we've been bestfriends since 5! what is it?" She laughed

"fine, but first, let's go on a run, and I'll only tell you.. AND..." she walks towards the hall way with the latter trailing her "Let me tell Dahyun myself..."

"Oh, okay then" The latter skipped and hopped as they leave the building. It is four in the morning, the sky is dark with a bit of a velvet scenery. The cool breeze flowing through their skin as they began a stance for the jog.

"So how many rounds this time Tzuyu?"

"Around three..." Tzuyu stretched and bent warming up her body for the 1200m jog around the dorm's track and field

"THREE? You do know how big this track is right?"

"Well, THAT.. is for my liking" she smiled

"Okay! Geeze, Crabby much?"

"I'm sorry Unnie.."

"Hey! Just kidding! Have some sense of humor" Chaeyoung laughed and patted Tzuyu's back

In a few moments of countdown the latters began jogging in a slow pace. However, Tzuyu gradually increases speed and gradually lessen it as well to keep her pace with Chaeyoung

"Okay, so tell me Tzuyu, What makes you tick?" Chaeyoung laughed

"Okay, It's like this, it's about Sana."

"Sana? Mina's sister?" Chaeyoung halted

"Yeah who else?" Tzuyu continued and the latter followed

"Wait wait wait.. dont tell me.." Chaeyoung halted again

"What?"

"Tzuyu? You are not serious? Right?" Chaeyoung walked towards her, reaching for her shoulders trying to snap out of it

"So what if I am"

"We don't even know the girls yet"

"Dont be coy unnie, I know you have a thing for Mina"

"Wha— WHAAAAAT Noooo. Psh"

"Oh really?!"

"Okay fine, but.. but.."

"But what?"

"Tzuyu..." Chaeyoung took in a deep breath "Dahyun already told me she likes Sana. You two cant possibly —"

"I will fight, if it's the last thing I do." Tzuyu turned around and began to jog again

"Wait! Tzuyu!" Chaeyoung tried to catch up to the latter but she kept increasing her speed "Wait wait wait" She ran as fast as she can to overtake Tzuyu. "I. SAID. WAIT" she stopped her, catching her breath

"Look, you two need to talk about this, we've been best friends for TEN FREAKING YEARS..." she continued to try to catch her breath "And I dont want you two, to throw those away just because you two ended up liking the same girl!"

"Look, we wont fight, It's Sana's choice that's it"

"Tzuyu! Love is a traitor! You two never encountered liking the same girl!"

"How would you know? We are different, Dahyun is our best friend she would understand"

"NO! No one would understand, even for being best friends or sisters! Loving the same girl is just a call for Chaos! No one! Can ever be in the right mind if you are jealous"

"So you're telling me to just let go of Sana? WITHOUT EVEN TRYING?"

"No, what I mean is that You and Dahyun needs to come into an understanding"

Tzuyu kept quiet and silent, she doesnt know how to compete with the older, with more experience in the world of romance

"Tzuyu, I know it's your first... against Dahyun, You may not have a chance but.."

"Unnie.. I really like her.. She may be stupid, annoying, and whatever it is that she does, She's always caring, Strong, even if she was the younger twin, She seems very responsible" Tzuyu cried as if she was defeated

Chaeyoung shook her head with despair and pulled out her phone "Dahyun, come to the track, ASAP"
And dropped the call.

"Unnie? What —"

"You two need to talk it out, now, be a good Tzuyu and let's just take a seat" Chaeyoung reached out to her hand waiting for Tzuyu to grab hold of it. Tzuyu eventually reciprocated the gesture and walked together to the stadium chairs.

In a few moments then, Dahyun came running waving her hand up high "Guys! Good morning. Wassup" Dahyun saw the look in Tzuyu's face "Eh? What's going on?"

The conversation began with Chaeyoung explaining to Dahyun the situation. Tzuyu was left in the stadium chair trying to cope up with the situation and avoiding eye contact. Dahyun's emotion transitioned from a glowing smile to a sudden frown and widened eyes. She looked over at Tzuyu but she avoided the eye contact. As soon as Dahyun saw this gesture she walked over to Tzuyu.

"T-tzuyu?" Tzuyu hummed and tried to show a smile to the latter

"You dont have to pretend.. I know you are hurt.. and I am sorry"

"It's not your fault, It's mine, I know you were already close to Sana anyway."

"And I know it's not... because you see her every day and every night. You know what she does, What she likes, her hobbies and things I couldn't possibly know without asking"

"It's just that, I dont really know why"

"How about this, let's agree not to get mad at anything we do, how bout an agreement of not hiding anything between us. If you ask her out on a date you tell me, and I will do the same.."

"Will that work? I really dont want to fight Unnie. I dont want to happen what happened to Jeongyeon-unnie and Chaeyoung"

"I don't want that either.. so what do you say? Is it a deal?"

"Deal" Tzuyu smiled calmly at the latter

"Awee Tzuyu! How bout you be my girlfriend you cutie!" Dahyun continued to hug the latter roughly

"Unnie!!" Tzuyu beamed and the three girls laughed

"I am back" Chaeyoung called out of the dorm

"Oh there you are. So what do you want for breakfast?" Mina replied with an apron on

"Oh? What ever you can offer Minari" Chaeyoung then sat on the couch trying to figure out how to get the remote unstuck to the couch

"You seemed? Well, stressed." Mina laughed

"Well apparently, I am having a fight with this remote control and the couch! AND BOY ARE THEY WINNING!"

Mina continued to laugh as she finished cooking.
"Alright breakfast is served"

"Eh?"

"Okay? Let me do that. You do it like this Chaeyoungie, hold.. and twist and then pull!" Mina got the remote unstuck "easy!"

"Eh?!" Chaeyoung's eyes widen in amusement

"Haha! Let's eat! Eggs and bacon with butter french toast... and a cup of hot chocolate! — tadaaa"

"This looks delicious Minari" Chaeyoung inhaled and began clicking off her chopsticks as they began to eat.

"So Chaeyoungie, where have you been?"

"I went jogging with Tzuyu and Dahyun" she smiled

"Ah, so since it's a sunday —"

"Great Idea, I got somewhere I want to bring you to, If you'd let me that is"

"Oh? Where is that?"

"It's a secret! Go on let's eat!"

.
.

Dahyun returned to her dorm, closing the door behind her quietly. She sees Momo sleeping soundly.
She began to tiptoe onto the kitchen area.

"Hmm, what should I cook for breakfast.. eggs..?"

"You know, I was going to cook breakfast but I thought you went out to eat on your own" Momo said slightly opening her eyes and got up yawning. She moved towards Dahyun who was preparing food half asleep

"Momoring, youre still sleepy, go ahead and sleep, let me handle this"

Momo dropped her sleepy head onto Dahyun's shoulder from behind. "No, I want to watch you cook, you might burn the dorm room"

"No I wont!"

Momo then slid her arms around Dahyun's waist giving her a back hug "o-okay! You're still sleepy now, let's go here! And sleep" she pulled Momo back to the bed and made her lie down.

"Mom! Can I also have Jokbal"

"NO! And I am not your mom, why do you keep saying that!" Dahyun laughed and shook her head and drop her to her bed. Dahyun then noticed a scar on her hand. A scar that seemed to be burnt around her wrist onto her skin

She slightly touched the scar tracing the burn. Momo jolted up "W-what are you doing"

"I-I noticed the scar, it seems fresh, what happened there?"

"I dont know, It seems the rubber bracelet that I was wearing was too tight and I got this. That's all" she continued to hide the scar

"Go on and Cook, I am hungry" Momo laughed

"O-Oh okay"

"It seemed weird, I wonder what was that on her wrist? Does Mina and Sana have them too?" Dahyun thought and began texting Chaeyoung and Tzuyu about it. And she also mentioned this to Jihyo and Nayeon

"Here you go Momo, breakfast is served" Dahyun smiled
