*Miren is at the healthy cafe until Chuu storms in*

Chuu: Oh Miren...you work here? 

Miren: I started working here not too long ago.

Chuu: Would you mind and give me a discount on one of those cakes?? They're so delicious. 

*Chuu acts cute as Miren smiles*

Miren: No, if I do that I'll get fired. 

*Chuu laughs and goes to the counter and sits on it*

Chuu: Hey, I'm planning something big. You, me, Jooe, let's party! 

Miren: Like a reunion? 

Chuu: Yes. We can eat, talk, you can even be in the next episode of Chuu can do it! 

Miren: Really? Wow...

Chuu: Make sure your free tomorrow night. 

Miren: I am since I don't have work tomorrow. 

*Chuu squeals in excitement*

Chuu: It's going to be so fun! See you tomorrow!

Miren: Wait! 

*Chuu leaves*

Miren: Didn't she come here for rice straws and some coffee? 

*Chuu comes back inside*

Chuu: Sorry for leaving but can I get a number six with a pack of rice straws? 

Miren: Coming right up. 

*Then in the evening the two employees are closing*

Jahan: You seemed upset when you were talking to Chuu. 

Miren: I wasn't. 

Jahan: Miren, you should never lie to someone who's in a phycology major. 

*Miren chuckles*

Miren: I hate that you caught it better than Chuu and you've only worked here for less than a week. 

Jahan: Are you just having a bad day or is there some beef with you and Chuu? 

Miren: No, if I did she wouldn't talk to me again. It's just... she pays attention to Jooe than to me. 

*Miren washes dishes*

Jahan: Have you tried talking to them about it? 

Miren: Twice but she still continues to do it. 

Jahan: Maybe you need to break the friendship between you and Chuu. 

Miren: From Chuu? Nah that's impossible...have you seen Chuu? Girl is a walking sunshine I can't say no to that. 

Jahan: Then what are you going to do? 

*Miren thinks as Jahan grabs his bag*

Jahan: Imma head out. Lock up when your done. 

Miren: Aight. Bye. 

*Then when Miren is asleep she was looking at photos of Jooe and Chuu and has a dream of when they used to be at school*

Miren: Hopefully this would work. I didn't know if she meant flowers or meat. 

*Miren comes to see Chuu and Jooe hugging*

Jooe: Were gonna be idols!! 

Chuu: Yay! Who's the meat for? 

Miren: Uh...you guys. Congrats on getting into a company. 

Jooe: Let's make them at my house. 

*Chuu gets so excited as Miren fakes a smile*

Miren: You guys go without me, I have somewhere to be after school. 

Jooe: Are you sure? 

Miren: Yea. You guys have your fun without me. 

*Then the next day all three of them are out with their masks out*

Miren: Where are we going? 

Chuu: To our favorite rice cakes restaurant. 

Miren: I thought there weren't any places to eat back in high school. 

Jooe: There isn't but we found this place because it's close to both our companies. 

*Miren feels sad as the two come in and sniff the delicious food*

Chuu: Reminds me of our trainee days. 

Jooe: Yes. Remember when we saw that one guy- 

Chuu: Yes! Yes! Yes! And he spilled- 

*They laugh as Miren doesn't understand the joke*

Chuu: That was so funny. I wish you would've been there Miren. 

Miren: Yea...

*Then after they pick up the food Chuu gets a text from her manager*

Chuu: Ugh!

Jooe: What? 

Chuu: It's my manager. They're changing plans for tonight saying they're gonna put it on Chuu can do it. 

Jooe: Really? I love that show. 

*Chuu looks at the message again*

Chuu: If they want to air it...that means Miren can't do it with us. She hasn't signed any paperwork to allow herself on camera. 

*The two feel bad for Miren and rub her shoulders*

Jooe: It's okay, we can plan something another time. 

Miren: It's fine. Now you can spend time together and forget about me like you always do. 

*Jooe and Chuu get concerned*

Chuu: Miren...we don't think of you that way. 

Miren: Nevermind, be happy without me. 

*Then at the cake cafe Chuu comes in but Miren isn't thrilled*

Chuu: Where's your buddy? 

Miren: He left early so he can take his cat to the vet. 

Chuu: So it's just...the two of us? 

*Miren stops what she's doing*

Miren: I apologise, I should've told you I felt left out between you and Jooe. Then you apologise and promise to never leave me out. We hug, you kiss me on the cheek and then we plan where to get lunch so are you free next Wednesday or do you have practice? 

Chuu: Hold on! Hold on! 

*Chuu says that cutely as Miren has her attention to Chuu*

Chuu: Hey, that's not how we usually resolve. 

Miren: I did that once and you were fine with it. 

Chuu: Not this time. When are you off of work? 

Miren: Soon I'm cleaning. 

*Chuu looks around and finds the key*

Chuu: Where does this key do?

Miren: It's for the upper floor. 

Chuu: Upper floor?! We can go upstairs and talk. 

Miren: I'm not allowed to go there. 

*Miren hears the door open and finds Chuu upstairs*

Chuu: This place is so cozy. 

Miren: You can't be there or else I'll get fired. 

Chuu: We'll leave after we discuss this. Now get me a cheesecake. 

*Miren sighs and comes back with a cheesecake and a fork*

Miren: Here you go. Once you finish lock the door. 

Chuu: I won't leave unless you eat with me. 

*Miren gets pent up rage but sits down next to a smiling Chuu*

Chuu: Wanna bite? 

Miren: Sure. 

*Miren takes a bit as Chuu pretends to shiver*

Chuu: I'm cold. Can you open the window for me? 

Miren: Okay. 

*Miren then goes to the window and Chuu grabs Miren's wrist and they fall on the couch together*

Miren: What are you doing? 

Chuu: The real way to get rid of a disagreement. 

Miren: Chuu...no! I dare you not to do this. 

Chuu: Um...no. 

*Chuu tickles Miren in her armpits and neck*

Chuu: Koochie koochie Koo~

Miren: Chuu! Stop it! 

*Miren is laughing*

Chuu: Not until you forgive me. 

Miren: HAHAHACHUU!! LET ME SPEAK!! 

*Chuu stops tickling Miren*

Chuu: I know your acting cold towards me because you don't want to say that your angry at me. 

Miren: That's exactly the truth. 

*Chuu does a poke attack on Miren's tummy*

Chuu: I'm repaying this favor by tickling you. 

Miren: If you want to do me a favor get out before someone sees us here. 

Chuu: No. 

*Chuu enjoys herself tickling Miren's shoulders and pinching her thighs*

Chuu: I really want to do more...but there aren't many spots...

Miren: Don't do this. 

Chuu: Would it be better if I use my Taekwondo skills on you? 

*Miren goes silent*

Chuu: Exactly. So take this as a reward. 

*She continues the tickling until they hear Jooe's voice*

Miren: ..we must lie-

Chuu: We're upstairs!!! 

*Miren sighs as Jooe comes upstairs*

Miren: What? You guys are going to bond over tickling me? 

Chuu: No. I just need someone to hold you down for me. 

Miren: I said I forgive you. 

Jooe: Then prove it.
