It all started after PE one day, when she was 12.

'How am I supposed to carry these boxes to the basement,' Yunha groaned. 'I just had PE. My arms feel like dying.'

'Did you volunteer or what?' Heeun snorted. 'That doesn't seem like you.'

'Detention,' Yunha answered. 'Apparently the teachers got tired of us writing lines as punishment and decided to make us work out.'

'We're all tired,' Heeun shook her head sympathetically. 'Sorry. We all just had PE.'

'Yoohyeon will do it for you,' Minsoo piped up. 'She wouldn't mind helping you at all.'

Hearing her name, Yoohyeon looked up in confusion, whilst in the process of stuffing her PE kit into her backpack.

'Yoohyeon!' Minsoo called. 'Help Yunha here carry these boxes down to the basement. She's tired after PE so she can't do it.'

It's not as if Minsoo had accidentally forgotten that Yoohyeon was in the same class as them, therefore she also just had PE as well. But at the time, Yoohyeon didn't think it was anything more than just a simple, everyday request, so she nodded in response. That earned a grin from Minsoo and she patted her shoulder approvingly. 'You're such a good friend.'

Hearing that come from Minsoo all of a sudden was a bit odd, but she shrugged it off and set off with one of the boxes, struggling under its weight.

After Yoohyeon disappeared from their sight, the three were left standing in the changing room. Yunha spoke up first. 'Yoohyeon had PE as well,' she pointed out. 'Why did you make her help me?'

'Because,' Minsoo lowered her voice to a whisper. 'She's easy. She'll do whatever you say, if you act nice. You just have to ask.'

'Isn't Yoohyeon your best friend though?' Heeun asked in confusion. 'I don't know, I've seen you together a lot. Why are you doing this to her then?'

Minsoo rolled her eyes. 'She'll thank me later. Plus, isn't it nice, having someone do unwanted things for us? It's like having our own servant!'

'Yeah, but... I just don't think it's right,' Yunha frowned. 'We shouldn't be taking advantage of her kindness-'

'Whatever. I'm her best friend, I know what's best for her. Just you wait and see.'
