"So, to clarify, you want me to pick up Hyewon from now on because Hayoung's girlfriend thinks you like Hayoung?" Chorong scoffs. "It's not your fault she's insecure."

It was her third time explaining how she was accidentally launched into a love triangle by a 6 year old, and Chorong still wasn't catching on.

Naeun sighs heavily. "In her defense, me asking Hayoung to babysit my little sister only an hour after meeting her and calling her pretty does not look good for me at all." She pouts before continuing. "Plus she's too pretty to be insecure." Eunji laughs while Chorong shakes her head.

"You're lucky I love Hyewon, I'll do it." She sighs. A wide grin spreads across Naeun's face and she opens her arms to engulf Chorong in a hug. "Before you get too happy!" Chorong says quickly.

"We don't want to make her feel like a third wheel."

"I never feel like a third wheel around you two."

Eunji slings her arm around Chorong and plants a kiss on her cheek. "Still don't feel like a third wheel?" She teases. Naeun rolls her eyes. "Fine, but I won't have any fun. None!" She sighs. "Yay, thank you!" Chorong squeals. "I'll tell Namjoo the next time I see her." Naeun shakes her head. "You guys ." She pouts.
