Mina's POV:

"Thanks for joining me here, I needed someone for suggestions." Minatozaki smiled at me, this girl will gonna roam around the mall for like 8 hours and I'm just a follower and carrier of these bags, geez. All I want to eat is mint chocolate ice cream inside this Mall. Hanging out as 3, complete J-Line.

"Let's eat jokebal, we're kinda striding here for 2 hours with your shopping bags." The Hirai complained as her tummy vibrates loudly like a phone ringing in a full volume.

"Let's have a break, shall we?" The jokebal gal requested.

"Yeah, shall we?" I'm not sure if it's convincing enough because this squirrel gal can't convince like this easily.

"Fine...let's stick to your decision."

"Maybe I'll be going here sometimes, the mixture is great especially dipping it into an oyster sauce." Look at her face, she's getting addicted to it. Even those days eating a jokebal.

"The truth?" I spoke.

"Minari!" It triggered her a lot, hahaha.

"By the way, I heard that you'll choreograph a famous K-pop group." Sana started a topic.

"Ahh, yeah, they offered me a week ago for their studio album, maybe a month will be released. They need to record by next week and practice their dance on the same day." The dancing machine explained, seems like they'll be having a busy day.

"Did you meet them?" I join in.

"Not yet, maybe tomorrow. They are having a day off today, tomorrow, it will be simultaneously-- working endlessly." Geez, do they have another day off?

"What's the name of the group? ITZY?" Sana questioned.

"Yeah, I heard of them," Momo replied.

"Well, being in JYP seems tough, isn't it?" Another question by myself out of nowhere, it was just popped inside my brain.

"It's fine, just what employees do, sleep, work, eat, sleep. The life cycle of an employee."

"No lunch?" What the heck is that question, Minatozaki Sana?!

"Of course there's lunch but sometimes...it's rigged. I've done everything just for a lunch break, finished all of the tasks, and then, more labor. Tiring but working for the best."

"You didn't protest?"

"I have no choice, it's needed." She sighed, I understand you, I'm currently unemployed because it will be a conflict between schedules, you know. wink wink-- I can't wink. I tried.

"That's the life cycle of life." In conclusion.

"Is that the architect guy--Jasper? Who's the gal?" Sana just spoke up, looking where the two persons were having fun in their conversation, god damn. I never knew about this.

"Damn, look at that gal, her image is not that bad." We looked like idiots in this scenario. Girls who were curious about something and waiting for the awaiting scene to come.

"Her eyes were truly sparkling." The clumsy gal spoke.

"She looks stunning with those clothes." I never knew that I could compliment this way. Trousers with a coat are a 'real' fashion. I'm part of the trend, jeans, jacket, white T-shirt; the jacket shouldn't be zipped is a great thing. A total introvert style. I'm talking about denim jeans when it comes to my jeans.

"Does she have a lot of exes and...something 'experimental'?" It caught our attention, she was like-after few seconds, her expression wasn't satisfying to us. Mentally, I questioned: how come the other term was given an emphasis? Are you serious?

"Oh, we are the judge of the gal for today, a 15-minute trial. We wasted 5 minutes." Our eyes to the gal. Oh, not bad. She had a point.

"Ponytailed? Simple but whatsoever." Sana took a turn.

"I wonder why they are delighted about each other." Here am I, mumbling.

"They are connected." Momo's speaking.

"Fascinating."

"What connection?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe they have a good story involved in."

"Her image, not bad."

"Maybe exes?"

Wait? What's going on?! Why I'm not involved here? I got 2 manipulations, because of these gals...

You can predict it.

"Okay, we better stop, we need to go-- maybe they saw us. You know whoever started this will be affected by karma." Rolling away from the table following these gals. I'm not his girlfriend nor a person who has the right to be envious of the two. Yes, he's still courting me. He preferred sticks while I'm onto the stone. In other terms, we had a misunderstanding. It's like traveling through with these missions weren't in my schedule; I, as a woman is a follower of the squad, it's a secret institution-tell me if there's no such thing called secret, any ideas? As I always, it's about the gals that I could enter. There are times that best gal friends ain't false. An alternate schedule isn't planned, somewhat like scrambled eggs were on the main menu. I can't figure out the exact one.

"Wait! Are you sure you ain't curious about that gal?" Sana questioned.

"No, they were having a good time," I replied. Those 2, look like they were having fun, rather than I'm "disowned". These feelings won't lie and talking about what exact feeling it is.













I don't wanna see him again.

"Duty as their empress made you visit here, they are having their good time here. It's a 5-star rating." In the hallway, 2 girls named Nayeon and Mina striding down the hallway to the canteen, having their friendship development. These days weren't having missions to the fact, like weekends despite they also have missions in weekends. None even a single thought of eating mint chocolate nearby.

"Why our cheetah leader is with the white tiger, again?" What going on with these 2?

"The couple lately weren't on good terms, Tzuyu seems frustrated while Taehyung isn't around." What's with these 2 lately? They were love cats around the corner and drinking their "self-productive milk" almost every day, now scratching each other's faces. Sounds like I'm gonna ridicule the people around.

"Can you give me the address of that tiger? I want to fix this, or else this place will be full of scratches because of their claws slashing through these walls. Before the counseling will be doing, I'll check my tribes after this." Lunch is served, fish fillet that caused Mina to act like a zombie here and eating like a possessive person.

"Well, fish triggers you a lot."

Short but this is for today, tomorrow's a busy day since classes will run and I'll be busy. Maybe waiting a week seems fine for you?
