MONDAY. August 3.

Byul wakes up to her alarm with yet another frightened expression and groans into her pillow.

I really have to change this alarm!

With her head still buried in her pillow, she grabs her phone to turn off the Edith Piaf's song. Upon closing the alarm, she squints to read the notifications on her locked screen.

renebaebae....? wait...

Byul's eyes widen at the notification. She sits up from her bed, fully awake now. She opens her phone with her fingerprint and immediately opens the app.

YES! Good morning, Miss Gorgeous.

She immediately clicks the Follow Back button and sends user renebaebae a message.

She's been at the edge of her bed the entire time and now she stands with her fist in the air. She does a little dance while going to her bathroom and prepares for the day.

"You're smiling...," Wendy notes from across the meeting table. Joy turns her head to also look at their team leader.

Irene looks up from her phone, "I'm always smiling."

She puts down her phone now and opens her notebook.

"Nope. No, you're not. Especially not during huddle sessions," Joy says shaking her head.

"Leave me alone. Where's Yerim?"

"She texted. She's running late, and will be here in 10 minutes."

"Why does she inform you and not me?," Irene asks Wendy.

Joy scrunches up her face, "She texted all of us, Unnie. You've been on your phone; have you not read it?"

She grabs her phone again and saw that there is in fact a text from their youngest team member. Sent 6 minutes ago.

She must have not noticed it while she was re-reading her messages with Coffee Shop Cutie this morning.

"Right. Anyway, let's talk about our agenda for the day."

Yeri comes in less than 10 minutes after while the three are discussing their schedule for the day.

Byul is in a good mood the entire morning but now she's not sure. She's currently eating lunch (well if you can call 11am, lunch) with her friends in their building and she's playing with her chopsticks instead of eating.

"Yah, you were just giddy this morning. What's wrong now?" Hyejin asks from across her.

Byul doesn't answer her but instead turns to Seulgi, "You. You have not been helpful the entire weekend. I thought the ads team will be here today?"

Seulgi almost chokes on her own food as she chuckles. Wheein slowly nodding, "There's the answer to your question, Hyejin."

"I didn't say what time, but they will be," Seulgi laughs at her.

"Let's finish quickly then. We still have a video to shoot. There's a reason why we're eating early," Yongsun inserts.

"We really have to fix our lunch schedules. We never eat at the right time," Byul points out.

They finished up and went back to their office promptly. Said video is Yongsun's idea for today's holiday. She planned to shoot a Seed Spitting Challenge for Watermelon Day. They already got footage from some selected workmates in the morning and they're supposed to finish the rest of the content over lunch.

Yongsun reasons that it's better to eat watermelons after lunch.

And so here they are, spitting water melon seeds on their faces in front a camera. The first game was spitting out a watermelon seed the farthest– Hyejin won and did a small brisk victory run.

They're on the second game which is to spit and land a seed on their faces the fastest.

First round is won by Yongsun who was shrieking with happiness. Fortunately, most of their workmates are already out for lunch. Othe
