“Hey ...” Chanyeol watched Baekhee chase her puppy, purposely slowing down only to speed up or spin around and taunt it to follow her! catch her! and it yipped excitedly. He finished his water bottle and looked at Jongdae, just as sweaty and happy to be outside as he was. “Have you noticed anything different about Baek?”

Jongdae frowned. “Different how?” He had noticed something different, but it wasn't something he would bring up himself.

“Like, when did she become a girl?”

“You noticed, too?!”

“Yeah!”

Comrades in their puberty, they discussed Baekhee in hushed whispers. She always had long hair, but it was usually pulled back in a practical ponytail. Braids, half-ponytails, hair clips and ribbons were totally new additions to her wardrobe, as were the skirts, dresses, and shorts. Short shorts.
