The Key To Everything (Part 2)

Previously...

Phew! Finally, the long letter is over! Wait till 5PM to open the holographic projector. Until then, take off your masks and meet your not so new friends! ;)

Signed,

Hyori, Sandara, BoA, and Tiffany.

"Not so new friends? What the hell does it mean by that?" asked Yoobin.

"Well, guess we know each other. Time to rip the band-aid, or rather, the mask, off and find out!" replied Handong.

Now...

Setting the letter back down, Bora grumpily sat in her assigned seat and pouted.

"I think those 4 must have been high while writing this or something. Why did they include so much detail and ruin the fun? Literally 3 names were dropped, and 1 of us has no mask on." whined Bora.

"Well, at least we can make guesses as to who is Gahyeon, Bora, and Yoobin? Bora and Gahyeon, if they are the ones that I'm thinking of - which is more than likely right - we can narrow down to the shortest members over there." remarked Minji.

Simultaneously, both the 'Fox' and the 'Queen' turned their heads to the girl sitting at the head of the table, staring daggers into her soul.

"Well, at least aside from bare faced skull-pup over there and those who were name-dropped, the three of us still have our air of mystery," happily grinned Siyeon, while gesturing to herself and Minji and Handong.

"Skull-pup? Not gonna lie, that's actually not a bad nickname for me. You all probably know each other already since you're coworkers. I feel like I'm the only one who is still at a loss for who most of you are. Since we'll be living together here for lord knows how long, might as well get this over with. Let's all take our masks off! Well, besides me that is." 

Yoohyeon was eager to know exactly who these 6 women were. They all worked at FeverDream, and it was clear that Tiffany knew them as well. While that didn't clear anything up, a few of them seemed to recognize her, so they had definitely met on Friday. 

On the count of 3, the girls simultaneously bared their true faces to each other. Like a flock of parrots, all the girls could do were swivel their heads between the faces around them and echo the names of whomever they saw.

"Siyeon?!"

"Minji?!"

"DJ Han?!"

"Yoobin?!"

"Squirrels?"

"ME?!"

At the sound of the loudly and mockingly screamed 'ME', everyone turned to Bora before bursting into laughter...which quickly died down once they all realized the true gravity of the situation at hand.

"Oh my god...how do will we explain this to our foster parents eonnie?! I'm suddenly moving out of the dorms into this expensive ass house? We don't have that kind of money!" panicked Gahyeon.

"Easy there Gahyeonie~! It's going to be ok. Let me do the talking to mom, alright?" Siyeon placed a comforting hand on Gahyeon's shoulder, rubbing gentle circles to release any tension in the small girl's body.

"I-I just don't want to lose my parents again..." On the verge of tears, Gahyeon started to sniffle, gaining concerned looks from all her eonnies.

Minji tapped Handong's arm, gesturing over to Gahyeon. Immediately picking up the message, Handong pulled her seat next to a gently sobbing Gahyeon, who now clung to Siyeon's arm for that familiar sense of warmth and comfort.
