I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling like the most interesting thing in the world.

"Unnie, are you awake?" Wheein peered into my room.

Lately, things were... I don't know how to say it, I seemed the only one on another channel.

"Nae Wheeinie, what's wrong?" I got up on my elbows.

"MoonByul needs to tell us something, can you come?"

Moon Byul?

She was here?

I hadn't seen her since I came back to Seoul. 

Either she was in Bucheon, or she was at the agency, or she was with the '92 club...

MoonByul was everywhere except my field of vision!

Although... I was thankful internally.

I stand up heading to the kitchen.

What will she have to tell us? I was couriors. . .

We sat around the table.

"Yeolobun..."  Byul looked at the maknae, she was avoiding me.

"Why those faces?! I'm not terminally ill or anything!" She started to laugh.

None of us liked it.

"Oh unnie! Then say it already! Why are you making us wait?!" Hyejin complained.

"It's... well, we've lived together for a long time so..." she started.

We all looked at her carefully.

"Moon SeulGi is coming this year to her Seoul University pre-entrance classes. I decided to take her to live with me. So..." she let out a sigh, "...I'll be moving at the end of this month."

We fell silent.

Hwasa raised her hand. "Yeolobun, to tell you the truth, I was also thinking about it...moving on my own."

"Wow!" Wheein stood up from the bench. "I thought no one would ever tell and we'd end up living together until we were 80!" she blurted out.

Then they looked at me.

"Nae," I agreed. "YongHee and I also thought about moving together."

I've been thinking about it for months ago, and I know the other members too, it just needed one of us to say it first...

"This doesn't mean Mamamoo is going to drift away!!"

Hyejin she said determined. I could see some glassy eyes, and of course mine.

"Geulae!"

The maknae put her hand in front and motioned for us to follow.

MoonByul and Wheein palmed her hands on top of hers, waiting me.

"Come one unnie!"

I wiped away a small tear and put my hand on Wheein's, who quickly took it off and put it all the way down, my hand was now on Byul's, we looked at each other for a few seconds.

"Oi!!!"

We scream together...

All the scheduled activities along with the new minialbum were just around the corner.

We would make our come back in November with Decalcomanie, our title song, it was a different and powerful song, we were sure (although always keeping expectations low), it would be a change would surprise many.

Besides, Mamamoo had finally split up, I mean, now we were living on our own.

The last month we were only seeing each other for work, it was strange, but at the same time, I valued seeing them more after a while.

And Moon Byul Yi...

She had distanced herself...

Actually, she was not the same, but only with me. 

I knew she was holding back herself and deep down she wanted us to be the same.

 Me too...

What was stopping us?!

Everything had changed since that night. 

I wasn't sure what to do, our relationship had become an ON & Off camera.

"Alright girls, that's all for today!" our choreographer concluded with a round of applause.

Before leaving the practice room the maknae were playing with each other and Byul was distracted looking at her phone. 

I wanted to approach and ask her about her new house, but, I heard she have a party today. In fact, I found out about it from Hwasa just a few hours ago, and that hurt me a little, lie, it hurt me a lot!

"Unnie, will you come?" Wheein asked me, she was referring to the happy party, which of course, I didn't receive a prior invitation.

MoonByul looked up, she knew I wasn't invited.

Did I need an invitation from her? Of course!

I was about to speak, but:

"Solar ssi!" Hyemin came in suddenly, she was in a call.

And now what?

"Nae?"

"Is the WGM PD-nim, he say Eric arrives today from Atlanta and ask if you could meet him at the airport to surprise him..."

"Oh, me..?"

MoonByul took her backpack on her shoulder and walked behind us. I followed her with my eyes.

"Unnie! What kind of surprise?!"

"Tell us!"

The maknae swarmed around, I had no idea either.

"Yah! Don't be late!" MoonByul screamed from the doorway.

Was she angry?

It was not in my plans to see YoonDo today, however, he did so many events for me, so I decided to reciprocate for this occasion...
