The Wise Monkey's POV:


Wooyoung looks at Soojin in wonder. He can totally imagine Daisy saying something similar to an employee( he was guessing the other girl is that), not the exact words, maybe in the same intention, but a more suave way than in this dramatic, nagging kind of way. But then the Daisy he remembers also sometimes used the dramatic, nagging mother tone on his bratty peers. Wooyoung unknowingly smiles looking at the girl. In the next second, his eyes sweep across his peers to confirm he isn't the only fool who's kind of happy to see her having a prospect of being Daisy.

It lands on his Seonghwa hyung first, and just as he assumed earlier of the prospect of such reactions from the man happening, he sees the man harbouring a lowkey cold, angry-sad emotion beneath the shock. 

Seonghwa's a calm type of person, one doesn't get the luck to see him actually angry often, like real anger, but even if he was to be angry, not a lot of people would be aware of that. Ateez members are family though, they can tell when each of them is angry or sad. Wooyoung also knows this: knowing Seonghwa, he's probably angry at himself rather than the one he's eying. 

Mingi looks like he's lost his brain cells. The surprised Pikachu face, know what I mean. The boy does that a lot, Atinys would know. Yunho has a serious face. Jongho harbours the typical serious Jongho, one can't tell what the boy is thinking. You can say that Yunho's pulling a Jongho right now. San is awkwardly smiling. So is Hongjoong. 

Yeosang, now the only one who has a normal, clear smile on his face as he bows and greets. "Hello," he says.

"Hello," Soojin slightly bends her neck as a bow and the other girl follows. 

"You!" she says to Sooyoung. "Go bring the rest of the bowls."

"I'll show you your table," Soojin then says to the boys and begins walking to the long table, the one that can seat office party groups, and the guys follow her. It's as if they're customers here. San doesn't like how it's going right from now on. Maybe she isn't Daisy, after all, he thinks.

"Please sit," she says as she arranges the Sikhye bowls. Sooyoung who carried the rest, now arranges too. The table can seat exactly eight. "Sorry if you feel like I'm treating you like customers, that's not intended.... And Sikhye's on me. It doesn't often happen that my favourite idols come here to talk to me." Soojin smiles.

Jongho can only reiterate in his mind how fake Soojin's being. The smile and her words seem like an act. But she's very confident. Of what he knows of Daisy, it's very hard to tell if she's faking or not. But for someone who was her friend and neighbour, the often hangouts and attention to detail of that(past) Jongho's crush had made him confident in his deciphering skills of the girl, he thinks. 

"So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" she asks. There's not a single worry on her face, Yunho processes. Why isn't she even weirded out or questioning it is his thought.

Soojin looks at Sooyoung. "You can go now," she says.

"What! No!" the girl protests. "It's Ateez! Oh my God, can I get your autograph? Or a selfie!" she squeals. 

Soojin gives her a cold gaze. "Clout-chaser much," she mouths to her sister. Yunho who notices doesn't shy away now to break his character and bring out his usual cheerful smile that Atinys so die for. 

"Ohhh, so stupid of me," Sooyoung exaggeratedly says. "I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Ahn Sooyoung, her sister. So I have a right to stay here and listen to whatever you're gonna tell, gotta give her mental support. So—"

"Sooyoung, that's enough!" Soojin says angrily. It wouldn't be a lie to say the boys got just a little scared, the shock from the information that the girls are siblings added. She then faces the guys. "She's a bit tough to get rid of, the only way is to use violence, it's not a good sight to behold. So I hope you guys don't have a problem with her presence. Also, in my opinion, whatever you're to tell should be nothing she shouldn't listen to, so..." She shrugs.
