“Um…”

Everyone turned their head.

“Not to be rude or anything.. But I don’t even know who he is. How can he possibly help me?”

Taeyeon sighs. “He’s friends with Sooyoung’s fiancé.”

“AHHH….” Wendy nods like a puppy but was immediately nudged by Seulgi.

“Psst… he’s evil…”

Sehun scoffs. “I’m not deaf you know.”

“Excuse us for a moment.” Wendy pulls the two girls away from Sehun. “Can he really help us?”

“No!” Seulgi quickly answers.

“Yup!” Taeyeon responds after whacking Seulgi.

“That hurts eonni!”

“Well you won’t stop talking! Look he is our ONLY option right now.”

“How is that so??”

“Yea.. Don’t even see that guy at all.” Wendy adds.

“Like I said, he’s friends with the fiancé—..”

Seulgi butts in. “SO WHA- OOF!”

Taeyeon covers Seulgi’s mouth. “AND he supplies tofu for Joohyun.”

“He does?? 😲” Seulgi says with interest.

“Hmm…” Wendy’s brows knitting.

“Seulgi—..” Taeyeon sighs so loud it made Sehun snort. “..Don’t you know anything about the udon shop, you know where you actually work..”

“UM.. I just do the tasks, Joohyun lists down.” She grins.

“Anyway yes, so this means Sehun is our ticket to entering the udon shop again, O-K-A-Y???”

Seulgi nods, Wendy was a little hesitant but nods.

They walk back to Sehun.

“Sehun.”

“Noona?”

“Help us.”

Sehun smirks and starts tapping his foot. “Mmmm… Why should I?”

“I KNEW IT! YOU PRISSY STICK!!—..”

“Seulgi will you just close your mouth.” Taeyeon wants to whack the girl again but fears she might get a really bad concussion. “…BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR COUSINS HAPPY!” She grinned creepily.

“…okay. Let’s say I help you out. What do I get in return?”

“I HAVE MONEY!!!” Seulgi pulls out her wallet.

Sehun rolls his eyes. “The exit is that way.” He smiles as he walks away.

”WAIT WAIT! SEHUN!” Taeyeon racks her brain. “We um….” She looks at the two girls. “WE’LL WORK FOR YOU!!!”

Sehun stops walking. He had his back on them but his smirk can be felt by the girls. “INTERESTING.” He walks up to Taeyeon. “Noona, you have a deal.” He eyes Seulgi. “This will be fun.”

Seulgi knew this was going to be hell.

“C’mon! Chop! Chop!” Sehun claps his hands as he walked away.

“Wait! Right now???” Wendy freaks.

“Hey! Hey Sehun! Hold on!” Taeyeon panics.

“At least wait for my dread to sink in..” Seulgi cried.

(Udon Shop, Joohyun’s room)

“…That’s basically what happened.” Joohyun hugs her knees.

“…”

“I’m sorry, Sooyoung… I-I know what I-We did was wrong—..”

Sooyoung stretched her legs. “Eonni.. Hmm.. I sort of knew.”

“EH?!?!”

“Hehe it’s not like Seulgi is good at hiding her feelings.” She chuckles.

“B-but.. You… wait…” Joohyun was too tongue tied.

“Eonni hehe let me tell you… just relax.” Sooyoung gets off the bed to sit next to the confused girl.

“I was really excited to meet Seulgi.. She’s Wannie’s bestfriend after all.” She says cheerfully. “When we were introduced.. HAHA… if looks could kill… Seulgi’s glare was so obvious. I thought she was going to pull my hair or something.”

Joohyun laughs. “She doesn’t have the guts to do that!”

“Right, right! She just mumbled stuff about popping her cherry. Hehe” Sooyoung smirks. “Was that part true?”

“If popping cherries meant eating udon for the first time then YES!”

“AND SHE CALLED YOU JUDON! C’MON! Who names  people such a horrible thing!”

The two girls laugh.

“I MADE HER PAY FOR THAT NAME!”

“GOOD! That was just awful.”

They laugh some more.

Sooyoung composed herself “I swear! She was so obvious. I thought she was going to combust just standing with us… and then she found you…”

Joohyun blushed.

“Eonni… why are you smiling?”

“N-nothing…” Joohyun bites her lower lips.

“…I knew she wanted Wendy.” Sooyoung’s tone changed. “And I knew she would’ve been better for her…”

“Sooyoung don’t say that.”

“It’s okay. My situation isn’t exactly…”

Joohyun gave her an understanding smile.

“But for once in my life I wanted to be selfish. I wanted her love that she so casually gave. I wanted to do something which my parents didn’t plan. I wanted to make my own decisions. So even when Seulgi had her eyes on her I made sure I
