Nayeon and Mina have been friends since high school. The two met when their family's companies merged. Of course the language barrier made it hard, but Nayeon found the two siblings very interesting, more specifically Mina since the two were close in age. So of course, Nayeon stuck to the girl like glue until finally Mina opened herself up more to Nayeon. It's been a decade but there are times when Mina surprises Nayeon...and Mina keeping Sana as her secretary is one of these times.
"It's weird right, Jeongyeonnie." Nayeon paces up and down her office while Jeongyeon watches her boss carefully, "I can't say yes or no unless you tell me Ms...I mean Nayeon." Jeongyeon clears her throat when she sees the small pout on Nayeon's face when she was about to refer to her as Ms. Im. It's still a habit the younger one is trying to fix.
"I'm talking about Mina and why she refuses to fire Sana and refuses a second secretary." Nayeon exclaims, "Something's up." She has that glint in her eyes that screams trouble.
"Sana's a good secretary, I mean yes she's a bit clumsy sometimes, but her organisational skills have gotten exceptionally better." Jeongyeon defends Sana, the two having gotten much closer since Jeongyeon offered to help her.
"Okay that's true, but remember like 3 weeks ago..when you told me that you saw them leave together during lunch?"
"Yes and then you whined because Ms. Myoui made you attend the board meeting...yep I clearly remember."
"Okay well something shifted after that..they've been..I don't know..close." Nayeon squints.
"And? Is that a bad thing? I mean it's good that they get along. Ms. Myoui is hard to please."
"Exactly, she's hard to please...but there's something.. GAHH!" Nayeon waves her hand, "We've got a case watson." She says in a failed attempt at a British accent.
"Or you could just ask Ms. Myoui."
"Nah, she won't tell me the truth and also where's the fun in that?"
"Or maybe you could just let it be. Sana's a good employee and my friend."
"But I'm curious." Nayeon whines, "Wait since you guys are friends..." Nayeon has that smirk that often leads to trouble.

"Woah! This place is nice..very cozy." Nayeon smiles, looking around the small cafe.
"Yep, her friends own it. It's a little bit of a hidden gem and the owners want to keep it that way, so no posting on sns got it?" Jeongyeon warns, knowing Nayeon's need to have an 'aesthetic' page.
"Yep, got it. But where is she?" Nayeon looks around.
"She texted me that she'll be a few minutes late and to order ahead."
"Alright." Nayeon nods, heading towards the counter.
"Hi, welcome to Peaches, how can I..Oh hey Jeongyeon!" Jihyo happily greets the short haired girl coming from behind Nayeon.
"Hey Ji." Jeongyeon smiles, having come here with Sana a few times, she too has become friends with Momo, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung, "You brought a friend today."
"Oh right, where are my manners?" Jeongeyon face palms, "Nayeon this is Jihyo she co-owns this place with two of her friends. Jihyo, this is Nayeon."
"Hi, nice to meet you." Nayeon smiles, bowing slightly.
"Nice to meet you too." Jihyo returns the gesture, "What can I get you guys?"
"Can I get two of Sana's usual, what would you like Nayeon?"
"What's Sana's usual?" Nayeon asks.
"Fruit smoothie and a raspberry tart."
"Oh I'll have that too then."
