Miyeon, Jennie, Dahyun, and Mina were all gathered by the pool, doing their stretches before their last practice before the upcoming finals. The tension in the air was palpable, but they were all trying to stay focused and calm.

Miyeon was doing a butterfly stretch, reaching her arms behind her back, and touching her fingertips together. Jennie was sitting on the ground, doing a straddle stretch, her legs spread wide apart. Dahyun was standing with her feet shoulder-width apart, bending down to touch her toes. Mina was doing a seated hamstring stretch, reaching for her toes with her legs extended in front of her.

As they stretched, they discussed their plans for the upcoming competition, going over each other's strengths and weaknesses. They talked about the different techniques they were planning to use and how they could work together as a team.

The atmosphere was serious, but there was also a sense of camaraderie between them, a shared determination to do their best and bring home the victory. They all knew that this was their chance to compete nationally, and they were ready to give it their all.

Miyeon was in the middle of stretching her quads when she looked up and noticed how smiley Dahyun and Mina were being. It was like they were in an unusually good mood. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

Suddenly, Miyeon felt a wave of realization wash over her. It was probably because Mina got back together with Chaeyoung, and last night, Miyeon had helped Sana get to Dahyun's house. She couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of love being in the air for her two friends.

"Hey, what's got you smiling so much, Miyeon?" Jennie asked, noticing her friend's sudden change in demeanor.

Miyeon just shook her head and teased Mina and Dahyun, "Oh, nothing, just love being in the air for some people." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, making both of them blush.

Dahyun playfully nudged Miyeon, "Stop teasing us, you know it's not like that." Mina just giggled, clearly happy and in a good mood.

Miyeon couldn't help but grin mischievously, "Not like what? Come on, Dahyun. Sana knew where you live because I told her exactly where...gave your address." She gave Dahyun a knowing look, teasing her even further.

Dahyun's face turned bright red, and she couldn't help but laugh at her friend's teasing. "Oh my god, Miyeon. You're terrible," she said, still blushing.

Miyeon then turned to Mina, a sly smile on her face. "And don't think I forgot about you, missy. I was there when the rock band bassist kissed you. So, I know exactly what's going on," she said, winking at her friend.

Jennie joined in on the teasing, laughing as she said, "Yeah, and I was there too. We all know what's going on, Mina."

Dahyun looked at Mina with surprise. "Rock band bassist...is that Chaeyoung?" she asked, realizing what they were talking about.

Mina blushed and nodded her head, unable to contain her happiness. "Yes, it's Chaeyoung. We talked things out, and I'm just really happy that we're back together."

Dahyun looked a little puzzled, "Wait, how come I didn't know you two were once together?" she asked, looking at Mina.

Jennie chimed in, "Yeah, it's apparently a secret to everybody else. We only found out recently."

Mina shrugged, "It's not like we were trying to keep it a secret, we just didn't really broadcast it. But now that we're back together, I don't mind people knowing."

As they were talking, they heard the whistle blow from their coach who had just arrived. The four of them immediately turned to look at him, knowing that practice was about to begin.

"Alright, ladies, let's get started. We have a big competition coming up, and we need to make sure we're at the top of our game," their coach said, his voice firm and determined.

The girls nodded, all serious now, and got into their positions, ready to begin their last practice before the upcoming finals. They knew they had to give it their all if they wanted to bring home the victory.

As they were practicing, the coach walked behind Mina and whispered, "Congratulations." Mina turned to look at him, surprised.

The coach smiled at her and whispered, "I heard about you and Chaeyoung. I'm happy for you both."

Mina smiled at him and whispered, "Thank you, coach. It means a lot."

The coach chuckled, "Well, I expect nothing less than a very good performance from you now that you're back with Chaeyoung. No pressure, though," he added, winking at her.

Mina grinned back, feeling a renewed sense of motivation. "Well, I got kinda pressured," she giggled. She knew she had a lot to prove, not only to herself but also to the team and her coach. She was determined to give it her all and show them that she was back and better than ever.

As the practice went on, the team's performance was flawless. They had been practicing hard for weeks, and it was starting to show. During their medley relay, they managed to achieve a relatively quick time record, which boosted their confidence and gave them a better chance to win the upcoming competition.

After the practice was over, the girls gathered around their coach, eager to hear his feedback. He had a big smile on his face, and they knew that was a good sign.

"Girls, I have to say, I'm impressed. That was some of the best swimming I've seen from you all. Keep up the good work, and we'll be sure to bring home the trophy," he said, his voice filled with pride.

The girls smiled and said their thanks to the coach, feeling energized by his positive feedback. He smiled and nodded back at them, looking pleased.

Suddenly, he gestured towards the entrance of the swimming pool gym, jokingly saying, "And your girlfriends are waiting, so go on and get out of here before they start wondering what's taking so long."

The girls giggled and turned towards the entrance, where they saw their partners waiting for them. Sana, Dahyun's girlfriend (kinda), was smiling brightly at her, while Chaeyoung, Mina's girlfriend, had a shy grin on her face. Jennie's crush, Lisa, was standing there, looking cool and composed as always.

"Hey, guys," Dahyun said as they approached the group. "How long have you been waiting?"

"Not too long," Sana replied, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. "We just got here."

Chaeyoung stepped forward and took Mina's hand, giving her a warm smile. "You were amazing out there," she said.

Mina blushed, feeling a surge of happiness at Chaeyoung's words. "Thanks," she said shyly.

Lisa smiled at Jennie, looking a little nervous. "Hey, Jennie," she said. "Great practice today."

Miyeon let out a small sigh as she looked around at the happy couples. She was the only one without a partner, and sometimes it made her feel a little left out.

But then she reminded herself that she was here for the swimming, not for the relationships. She loved the rush of the water and the thrill of competition, and that was enough for her.

Dahyun and Sana continued walking side by side, enjoying the peacefulness of the moment. They didn't feel the need to talk, as their presence was enough to fill the silence. Every now and then, they exchanged glances and shared soft smiles, lost in their own world.

Suddenly, Sana broke the silence, "Dahyun, can we hold hands?"

Dahyun felt a flutter in her heart at Sana's request, and she nodded eagerly. Sana took her hand, and they intertwined their fingers, feeling a sense of comfort and warmth from the simple gesture.

Sana smiled as she held Dahyun's hand, feeling content. "You know, it feels like we're dating already," she said, looking at Dahyun with a soft gaze.

Dahyun chuckled at Sana's words, feeling a little embarrassed. "Well, isn't that where we're headed anyway?" she teased, nudging Sana playfully with her shoulder.

Sana's cheeks turned pink at Dahyun's teasing, but she felt a sense of boldness washing over her. "So, you're thinking about dating me officially?" she asked, looking up at Dahyun with hopeful eyes.

Dahyun stopped walking and turned to face Sana, her heart racing with anticipation. "Of course, I am, Sana. I really like you," she said, her eyes searching Sana's for any hint of hesitation.

"Don't say things like that, Dahyun," Sana said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It makes me want to kiss you."

"Well, why don't you then?" Dahyun provoked, leaning closer to Sana.

Sana couldn't resist Dahyun's playful teasing, and she leaned in to gently flick Dahyun's lips with her finger, causing her to break into a grin. "Behave yourself, missy," Sana said, trying to hide her own smile. "We're in public."

Dahyun laughed, feeling a sense of lightness in her chest. "Okay, okay," she said, still grinning. "I'll be good."

Nayeon and Jeongyeon walked ahead of Jihyo, Momo, and Tzuyu, chatting about their classes and upcoming exams. They were on their way to Nayeon's house, which was conveniently within walking distance from the university.

As they strolled down the sidewalk, Momo suddenly took out her phone and live on Instagram, pointing the camera at Nayeon and Jeongyeon's backs without any explanation.

Nayeon turned around, surprised to see Momo filming them. "Momo, what are you doing?" she asked, a hint of amusement in her voice.

Momo shrugged, a mischievous grin on her face. "Just filming you guys for no reason," she replied, giggling.

Jeongyeon rolled her eyes playfully at Momo's antics, but she didn't mind. She was used to Momo's spontaneous personality and enjoyed her company.

Jihyo and Tzuyu caught up to them, and Jihyo asked, "What's going on?"

"Momo's filming us for her Instagram live," Nayeon explained, shaking her head in amusement.

Jeongyeon couldn't resist teasing Momo. "So, did you get any viewers yet?" she asked, a smirk playing on her lips.

Momo rolled her eyes at Jeongyeon's question. "Yes, I got three viewers," she replied sarcastically, switching to the front camera so she could greet her audience. "Hi, Dad, Mom, and my older brother," she said, waving at the camera.

Nayeon and Jeongyeon burst out laughing at Momo's greetings, while Jihyo and Tzuyu just shook their heads in amusement.

Momo turned the camera back to Nayeon and Jeongyeon, and asked, "So, what's the plan for today?"

Jeongyeon looked at Momo and said, "Actually, Momo, you're not included in the plans. Nayeon invited us over to her house to study for the upcoming exams, remember?" she said, giving her a playful nudge. "You don't really study, do you?"

Momo let out a fake gasp and asked, "Jeongyeon, are all your family members mean people? Is that why you grew up to be like this?" She couldn't resist teasing Jeongyeon back.

Jihyo, Nayeon, and Tzuyu burst out laughing at Momo's comment, while Jeongyeon just rolled her eyes playfully. "Ha ha, very funny, Momo," she replied, nudging Momo again. "Come on, let's get going before we get too distracted."

Momo looked back at her phone and saw that their viewers had gone up to eight. "Guys, our viewers went up to 8! This is amazing!" she exclaimed, grinning widely. "Thanks for tuning in, everyone."

As Momo was still looking at her phone, Jihyo's voice interrupted her excitement. "Hey, isn't that Dahyun and Sana on the other side of the road?" she asked, pointing towards a couple holding hands and walking together.

Nayeon and Jeongyeon also turned their heads towards the couple, and Tzuyu nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's them," she confirmed.

Excited to see their friends, they tried calling out to them, but Dahyun and Sana seemed to be too lost in their own little world to notice them.

Nayeon looked back at her friends, a curious expression on her face. "Do you think Sana and Dahyun are dating?" she asked, her voice full of wonder.

The others just shrugged, unsure of the answer themselves. "Who knows," Jihyo replied, shaking her head. "They're both really close, so it's possible."

Momo decided to pan the camera towards Sana and Dahyun, who were now getting farther away from them. Suddenly, her phone began to buzz with notifications from her Instagram liv
