Jinhee knows.

Not because Jiyeon is particularly vocal about her feelings, but because Jinhee feels it in every hug and hears
it in every word.

Late at night. she will look at herself in the mirror, starring hard while voicing out "Why are you so weak, Kim Jinee?"
How could she let herself be so weak, so much so that she has to watch her junior take responsability in matters which should be taken care of by the
oldest. The one who's supposed to be the most mature, the strongest.

The one who's supposed to be her.

-----

Jiyeon knows.

Not because Jinhee is particularly vocal about her feelings, but because she can see it in her eyes as she listens to Jiyeon
adress all the girls about company matters. As she grasps the position she was expected to have.

Debut is near and all the girls are anxious, but Jinhee... She's waited so long for this. Jiyeon will walk past Jinhee's
room at night, faintly hearing the strumming of a guitar.

Playing guitar calms Jinhee down. It's something about keeping both hands and mind occupied.
Jiyeon loves watching her play, because that's when Jinhee is ordinarily extraordinary.

The young leader will sit quitely, watching Jinhee play and wait until the gentle soul before her will put away her instrument.
After Jinhee sits down again, Jiyeon will get up, curling up in the strong but skinny arms of the older woman.

They know.

Not because they speak about it, but because they feels it as their lips meet for the first time.
