"You want me to what?!"

"I'm sorry, Sooyoung~ah... I just need you to pick Hyun up..."

"Hayoung," Joy called back, pinching the bridge of her nose in slight annoyance, "You do know that Yerin doesn't trust people easily when it comes to her child! And where in the world is she anyway?"

"I don't know... She just said something about management meetings or something..." 

At this, Joy turned to Irene who was busy prepping meals for Wendy-- planning to visit her later. Irene inched closer towards her, giving her a cup of tea before saying, "They were thinking if there's a need to change our management team, switch some stuff for the new girl group," Joy widened her eyes at this, almost dropping the mug from her hold, No way! Yerin's gonna switch out?!

As if hearing her thoughts, Irene quickly squeezed her shoulder in reassurance, "There are still no concrete plans for the new girl group, and I already consulted our Team Leader for this. Yerin won't be leaving us anytime soon."

Joy slowly nodded, before Irene stood up and continued preparing meals. She also made sure to leave a few stuff for Joy and the hibernating bear and the loud maknae who had been playing her games since earlier.

"So, Sooyoung~ah! Please! I still need to continue my report for the finances! Bomi will eat me alive if I don't finish it by today!"

Joy hissed at that. Her accountant of a friend probably heard Irene earlier, "Why didn't you do that stupid report yesterday instead of drinking, anyway?" She rolled her eyes, only to receive a humored laugh. Joy swore that her friends would be the death of her. Who calls an idol in the middle of the night to pick your drunken from a tent restaurant anyway?! Well, Hayoung does. 

"Joy," Irene called, "How about you bring Seulgi and Yerim with you? Pick Hyun up?" Joy frowned at this, not liking the idea of bringing the clueless bear and her demon-half with her. "I'm not bringing your troublemaker of a daughter with me, Unnie!"

"Oh~ Makes me want to come with you more!" The said maknae whistled, a smug grin lacing her lips. Oh, no!

"We're here, wake Seulgi-unnie up, Yerim,"

"Hey, Bear-unnie! Wake up!"

"Ugh! Don't squeeze meeeee! Sooyoung! Yerim's killing me!"

"Hey! You just grabbed my !"

"I'm sorry--Wait, get off me!"

Joy exhaled harshly, closing her eyes and praying that she won't accidentally kill her two companions. This is gonna be a long day

"Do you know what he looks like, Joy?" Seulgi asked. They were all in the corner, waiting for the crowd of parents to lessen before going into action. There's a reason why Yerin never asked Joy to pick her son up-- wanting to avoid any attention for her boy. I
