"Yow Mina, you gotta see this selca we took." Jeongyeon said as she pulls out her phone.

"Don't. You. Dare." Nayeon quickly tried to stop Jeongyeon's banter.

Jihyo by the side, just facepalmed due to the inevitable embarrassment that is about to happen.

Jeongyeon managed to pull out her phone and show the picture to Mina despite Nayeon's strong denial.

Mina was calmly drinking her coffee, but by looking what Jeongyeon showed, she accidentally spat out her drink and laughed as loud as she can

Mina was calmly drinking her coffee, but by looking what Jeongyeon showed, she accidentally spat out her drink and laughed as loud as she can.

"Oh my god, what is that Nayeon-unnie?" She asked while getting the tablecloth to clean up the mess she made.

"This naughty Jeongyeon said to make wacky faces, but she's the only one who didn't!" Nayeon defended her look by explaining what happened.

"Following Jeongie's favor while taking a selca will always be a wrong decision." Jihyo said with embarrassment.

Mina continues to laugh seeing how hilarious her senior's look like.

10AM.

Mina is on a call with Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Nayeon while having her late breakfast at the Castle's wide and green backyard.

For her, nothing's a better partner with coffee than the laughs and giggles of her unnies.

"So uh, how are you doing back there?" Mina asked.

"Well, we're doing pretty good. Uncle Jinyoung made plans for us, he said that we will be having solo albums by next year." Jihyo answered.

"Wow, that's great to hear! Are you already preparing for the tracks?" Mina followed up after being fully interested about the news.

"Jeongyeon's going first, so yeah she's preparing right?" Jihyo answered with a question to Jeongyeon.

"Riiight..." Jeongyeon answered sarcastically.

"Well unnies, expect that I'll be the first to get copies for your solo albums, hehe." Mina said as she stirs her coffee.

"How about you Mina, how are you doing there?" Nayeon asked about Mina.

She suddenly topped stirring her ceramic tea cup. She fell into silence.

At first, Mina thought on whether to tell them about the Prime Minister's confrontation, but for her, it is too risky to put her loved ones against someone powerful enough to put them in danger.

"Well, I'm doing fine." Mina answered straight.

"We are currently preparing for the second ascension, and actually, taking care of the Empress." She added as she then drinks from her cup.
