"What's up, traitor?"

Yep. That's how Moonbyul's been addressing me lately.

I scoffed and slid beside her. We're at the library right now. She's busy typing on her laptop while I only came here because I have nothing to do for an hour before my next class starts.

"I told you, I have nothing to do with what Jennie pulled up the other day."

She just continued doing her paper, ignoring me. When I eventually got bored, I stood up and went to the bookshelves to find some photography books.

It didn't take me long to locate where that section is and finding a book that looks interesting. Well, anything about photography interests me. I would've pursued it if only I didn't have a family business to take over.

However, what took more of my interest was what I've seen on the other side of the shelf. I saw a familiar face when I pulled out a white photography book.

But before I could call her out, she turned to her side and laughed.

"Dork," Solar mutters, trying to hold back her laughter.

"You like it."

Okay, that sounds awfully familiar.

That definitely sounds like Seulgi.

I went to round the shelf and see for myself, but then my eyes met a beautiful pair of eyes. Approaching me with a cute smile was Irene.

"Hey, you," she grins.

I texted her earlier where I was going, but I didn't expect she'd actually show up when I told her I wish she was here.

"I thought you have a class?" I asked in surprise.

"Dismissed early. Moonbyul told me you were in this section," she says, her eyes roaming on the photography books around us.

"Oh. So you've met her," I noted, tilting my head.

"Yeah, she asked if I was looking for you. I was surprised she actually knows me..." her face were actually a bit flushed.

I bit my lip. "Yeah, she saw our picture from last week."

"Mhm. Were you just about to get back to the table?" she said, as if avoiding the topic. Weird. But that brought my mind back to Seulgi.

"Oh, yeah. I'll properly introduce you to Byul then, let's go..." we continued walking side by side, and when we turned on the corner I saw that no one's on the other side of the shelf anymore.

Maybe I'll just ask Seulgi later.

"Found a good book, traitor?" Byul lifts her eyes first to glance at me as I sat next to her, then to smile at Irene for the second time.

I glared at her. "Yes. So, anyways, you've met Irene. Irene, this is Moonbyul," I rested my arm directly behind Irene's seat, watching their exchange of smiles.

Okay.... So, Byul's kind of a girl magnet. Seulgi was the one who's always complaining about it, though. I haven't been trying to woo a girl for so long that I've forgotten how much of a competition Moonbyul actually is, except that we've never been into the same girl and that we don't really take these things seriously. It's kind of an unspoken rule between us three. Women aren't trophies to compete on. She knows I like Irene and I appreciate her actually trying to be nice to her.

"So how'd this traitor betray you?" Irene pokes my cheek while smiling sweetly at me.

I scrunched my face. "Byul's just overly dramatic."
