Attempt -
There Was An Attempt"C'mon unnie, I'm like, the best in business! I’m the Ultimate Matchmaker!" Yeri's eyes are sparkling with mischief as she speaks. Irene doesn’t trust it at all, "I'll totally help you and Seulgi unnie get together!”
"As if you can help me," Irene scoffs, frowning at the maknae who somehow managed to wrestle out her (not so) secret crush on Seulgi out of her. (Wendy was too nice to say anything, and Joy didn't care.) Said crush was recording in the other room, while the rest were just lounging around, waiting for their turn.
“I can and I will,” Yeri says solemnly, “I got Sana unnie to confess to Dahyun!” She follows up.
Joy facepalms at that, and Irene’s immediately skeptical.
Irene raises a brow, “And how’d that go?”
“Not that great because Dahyun’s an idiot, but I promise I can help!” Yeri says much too eagerly, practically yelling at this point to deflect any of Irene’s protests.
"We gang gang unnie, I won't leave you to be useless. You've been doing that for too long already! You’re practically 30!” Yeri says, and Joy almost snorts her drink out through her nose.
Wendy's expression quickly changes from attentive to utterly disappointed as soon as she hears the words 'gang gang' come out of Yeri's mouth.
"I have not! And I’m not that old!" Irene squawks indignantly, "Wait, what?" Irene looks absolutely lost, and Yeri sighs. Sometimes, she forgets that Irene's ten years her senior.
"It's like ohana," Yeri tries to explain while Joy's already cackling, "Ohana means gang gang, and gang gang means no one’s gonna be yeeted."
"...Yeet? Gang gang??" Irene repeats cluelessly, narrowing her eyes at the foreign words.
"...Please stop hanging out with Chaeyoung and Dahyun," Wendy says with distaste, restraining herself from disowning the girl entirely. She turns to leave the room, dragging an even more confused Irene with her.
"Okay boomers, have it your way!" Yeri yells as Wendy closes the door.
Yeri turns to Joy, who's still drinking her daily dose of diabetes called Starbucks.
"I'm glad we're on the same page," Yeri says, and Joy puts down her drink.
"I'm not helping you get them together," Joy remarks, "Can you imagine how disgusting they'll be?"
Yeri scoffs, briefly wondering why she expected something out of Park Sooyoung. She's just pretending to be a zoomer anyway, and it shows by the way she tries to fit in with her outdated TikToks.
The maknae visibly cringes, recalling Joy's attempts of being an eGirl before she manages to reply to the fossil.
"Yeah, but the sad puppy eyes from both of them is giving me depression. It's so easy, and they're just," Yeri makes vague gestures in the air, "So dense."
"Hm, that's true," Joy hums, "So what're you gonna do about it?"
"A big brain move," Yeri says and whips out her phone, already texting dubchaeng.
Despite Twice’s and Red Velvet’s busy schedules, Yeri had miraculously found the time to visit Twice’s dorm. Fortunately Jihyo welcomed Yeri into their dorm warmly, much like how a gentle mother would welcome their daughter home.
Of course, Yeri can’t relate. Irene would only usually greet her with her endless nagging. But she can’t blame her
