Mina walked down the hallway alone, her body still sore from the grueling swimming practice. As she stretched her tired muscles, she saw Chaeyoung standing at a distance, her eyes fixed on Mina.

They stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, pain and longing evident in their eyes. It had been a year since they had last spoken, after their relationship had come to an abrupt end.

Mina felt her heart ache as memories of their time together flooded her mind. She missed the way Chaeyoung used to make her laugh, the way she would hold her hand and kiss her forehead.

Chaeyoung's eyes flickered with emotion, but she remained still, as if unsure of what to do or say.

Mina took a step closer, but Chaeyoung quickly turned away, breaking the intense gaze between them. Mina's heart sank, knowing that the distance between them was now greater than ever.

She continued down the hallway, feeling a sense of loss and emptiness. She knew that things would never be the same between them, and that realization only made the pain more unbearable.

As Mina's eyes blurred with tears, time seemed to turn back to that fateful day when she first met Chaeyoung. It was at this very same hallway, and Chaeyoung was walking with Tzuyu, her face lit up with a big, beautiful smile that showed off her cute dimples.

Mina had been walking in the opposite direction, lost in thought, but Chaeyoung's presence caught her attention like a bonfire in the night. It was as if time stood still as she gazed at Chaeyoung, feeling an inexplicable pull towards her.

Chaeyoung suddenly dropped the pen that she had been spinning between her fingers, and it clattered to the ground in front of Mina. Without thinking, Mina quickly bent down to pick it up, but at the same time, Chaeyoung had the same idea.

Their heads collided, and Mina winced in pain, but Chaeyoung seemed more concerned about Mina's well-being than her own. "Oh my gosh, are you okay?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.

Mina nodded, rubbing the sore spot on her forehead. "I'm fine, don't worry about it," she said, her heart racing at the close proximity of Chaeyoung.

Mina's heart was racing as she handed Chaeyoung the pen, feeling the warmth of their hands touching briefly. "Here you go," she said softly.

Chaeyoung took the pen from Mina's hand with a grateful smile. "Thanks a lot," she said, her eyes shining with friendliness.

Mina smiled back, feeling a warmth spreading through her chest. "No problem," she replied, her voice a little shaky.

Chaeyoung turned to walk away with Tzuyu, but then she turned back to Mina, her eyes squinting as she asked, "Are you a transferee?"

Mina nodded, surprised that Chaeyoung knew. "Yeah, I am," she replied.

Chaeyoung's eyes widened in recognition. "Oh, my dad is the swimming coach," she said, as if that explained everything. "He told me about you. Said you were really good at the try-out."

Mina felt a surge of pride and excitement. "Oh, really? That's great to hear," she said, feeling a sense of connection with Chaeyoung now.

Mina couldn't help but ask, "Are you in the swimming team too?"

Chaeyoung shook her head. "No, I'm not really into sports," she replied with a small laugh. "But I am in a school rock band. I play bass," she added, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

Mina felt a surge of interest. "Really? That's amazing. I love music," she said, feeling a sense of admiration for Chaeyoung's talent.

Chaeyoung beamed at Mina's enthusiasm. "We have a show later tonight, actually. You should come," she said, extending an invitation.

Mina's heart skipped a beat at the invitation. "I would love to," she replied, feeling a rush of excitement at the prospect of seeing Chaeyoung again.

Just as Mina was about to respond, Tzuyu interrupted, "If you're not familiar around the university and don't know where the venue is, I'd be happy to accompany you," she said with a friendly smile. "We can go together and watch Chaeyoung's show."

Mina felt a wave of gratitude towards Tzuyu for offering to accompany her to the show. "Thank you so much," she said, smiling at Tzuyu.

Chaeyoung nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it would be great if you could come. We're actually playing some of our own songs tonight," she said, her eyes shining with excitement.

Mina felt a flutter in her chest at the thought of hearing Chaeyoung's music. "I would love to hear your songs," she said, feeling a sense of anticipation for the upcoming show.

Mina's mind snapped back to reality, back to the present where she and Chaeyoung were no longer together. It was a harsh realization, and Mina's heart sank at the memory of their painful breakup.

She blinked away the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes and took a deep breath, determined to move on. She couldn't keep dwelling on the past and what could have been. It was time to focus on the present and the future.

With that thought, Mina straightened up and continued walking down the hallway, her sore muscles forgotten for the moment. She was determined to face whatever the future held, even if it meant doing so without Chaeyoung by her side.

Jeongyeon, Nayeon, Momo, and Jihyo were gathered in Nayeon's room, laughing, and joking around. They had decided to have a mini karaoke party, with each of them taking turns singing their favorite songs.

As they took turns belting out tunes, the room was filled with a mix of off-key notes and laughter. Nayeon's dog even joined in, barking along to the music.

At one point, Jeongyeon tried to do a dramatic rendition of a ballad, but her over-the-top gestures and facial expressions made everyone burst into giggles. Momo followed with a goofy dance routine, and Nayeon tried to keep up with the lyrics to a rap song but kept stumbling over the words.

After a few more songs, Jeongyeon paused and said, "Okay, I think we should stop. This song is not cooperating with us."

The other girls laughed and agreed, catching their breaths from all the singing and laughter.

Nayeon piped up, "You know what? I want to be famous someday. Like, have my own fans and everything."

The others nodded, curious. "Really? Like a singer or an actress?" Jihyo asked.

Nayeon shrugged. "Either one, I guess. I just want people to recognize me and chase me like I'm some criminal when I'm just trying to buy something from the store."

Jeongyeon smirked and teased, "Well, hate to break it to you Nayeon, but only pretty people get famous."

Nayeon frowned, offended. "Hey, I am the prettiest one among us," she said, pointing to herself confidently.

The others rolled their eyes and groaned at Nayeon's overconfidence. "Yeah, right," Momo said sarcastically. "You wish."

Jihyo chimed in, "Sorry, Nayeon. But we can't all be as beautiful as me," she said with a playful wink, causing the others to burst out laughing.

Nayeon pouted, but couldn't help but laugh along with the others. "Hey, I still think I'm pretty," she said, crossing her arms playfully.

Jeongyeon chuckled, "Of course you are, Nayeon. Just not as pretty as me," she added with a wink, causing the others to groan in disgust and laughter.

Momo rolled her eyes at the bickering between Jeongyeon and Nayeon, "You guys are ridiculous. Who cares who's the prettiest? I'd rather be the richest, if I'm being honest."

The other girls laughed, "Typical Momo," Jihyo teased.

Jeongyeon smirked, "Well, I'd rather be the most talented."

Jihyo shook her head, "Well, if we want to achieve that kind of fame, we should start doing something now."

Jeongyeon nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we need to go viral or something."

Momo grinned, "How about we make a diss track against all our exes?"

The girls erupted into laughter at Momo's suggestion. "Oh my god, can you imagine? We'd definitely go viral, but not in a good way," Nayeon giggled.

Jeongyeon added, "Or we can make a music video of us lip-syncing to nursery rhymes in animal costumes."

The others couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculousness of their ideas. "I don't think that's going to make us famous," Jihyo said in between laughs.

Nayeon cleared , trying to suggest something more serious. "What about a podcast? We could talk about important issues or share our personal experiences."

The others considered it for a moment, but Momo shook her head. "No offense, but we can barely understand each other in normal conversation. How are we going to sound coherent in a podcast?"

They all burst into laughter, agreeing with Momo's point. "She's got a point," Jeongyeon said, wiping tears from her eyes.

As they caught their breath from laughing, they all ended up saying the same thing at the same time. "We should just do a vlog!"

They looked at each other, surprised at their synchronicity. "That's actually not a bad idea," Jihyo said, considering it.

"Yeah, we could show our daily lives and routines," Nayeon added.

Momo nodded, "And we could have challenges and games, too."

Jihyo smiled, "I like it! How about we call it 'Twice the Fun'?"

The others nodded in agreement, but Momo interjected, "Wait, but there are four of us. It should be 'Fource the Fun'."

Jeongyeon smacked her head, "Momo, 'fource' isn't even a word!"

Nayeon was almost dying from laughter, "I can't breathe! Fource the Fun? Momo, what are you thinking?"

The others joined in, giggling at Momo's made-up word. "Okay, okay, 'Twice the Fun' it is," Momo finally relented, still chuckling.

They all agreed that it was a good name for their channel and started discussing their plans on what kind of content they could create. Excited about their new project, they spent the rest of the evening brainstorming ideas and making plans.

Dahyun took the first plunge into the shallow end of the pool. The water was cool against her skin, and she swam a few laps before resurfacing with a grin on her face.

Sana stood hesitantly at the edge of the pool, her toes barely touching the water. Dahyun saw Sana's apprehension and swam over to her. "Come on, Sana!"

Sana shook her head, "I don't know, Dahyun. I'm kind of scared."

Dahyun offered her hand, "It's okay. I'll be right here with you."

Sana took a deep breath and touched Dahyun's hand. As soon as she did, she felt brave. She let go of the side of the pool and took a step forward, feeling the water rise up to her waist. She looked up at Dahyun, who was smiling encouragingly at her.

"See? It's not so bad," Dahyun said.

Sana smiled back, feeling a sense of pride in herself for facing her fear. "Yeah, it's not so bad," she echoed.

Sana continued to move forward until the water was almost reaching her chest. Suddenly, she gasped and wrapped her arms tightly around Dahyun's shoulders, feeling her heart racing.

Dahyun looked at her with concern, "Are you okay?"

Sana shook her head, "I can't go any further. The feeling of going deeper scares the hell out of me."

Dahyun nodded understandingly, "That's okay. You don't have to go any further if you don't want to."

Sana relaxed a bit, feeling grateful for Dahyun's understanding. She stayed wrapped around Dahyun's shoulders for a moment longer, enjoying the feeling of the cool water on her skin.

As they stood in the water, Sana and Dahyun's hot breaths mingled in the space between them. They stared into each other's eyes, feeling as if they were the only two people in the world at that moment. The sound of the water around them faded away, leaving only the sound of their own heartbeats echoing in their ears.

In that moment, Sana felt like she was diving into a deep pool of emotions, and she couldn't help but feel vulne
