KARINA
yeah
it's really not that serious
i barely know anything about that
lee minho guy other than the rumors,
i don't like him that much but if you
say he's a good guy, i don't mind if you
date him.
besides, it's not like you're our gf or something

NINGNING

but yeah i don't mind
unless he like, is mean to you or smth
then i'll have to step in. 😤😡

AREUM

closer than that, areum ☹️

be worried about is renjun..
all hell will break loose if the
grinch himself finds out 🤯

KARINA
