"Unnie, it's your first time here, am I right?" Haerin asked after she saw that Minji has been looking around the campus ever since they arrived.

"I think so, but could you please stop staring at me Haerin? I can feel your stare even when you're behind me" Minji pouted as she crosses her arms while facing the latter.

"I can't," Haerin quickly answers, but still won't break eye contact with the latter. "You're too pretty, Minji-unnie"

"Stop it" Minji covered her face before turning around. "You're making me feel uneasy" she said before starting to walk faster, leaving the younger behind.

"You don't even know the way" Haerin shook her head as she follow where Minji's going.

After arriving at an open room, Minji asked Haerin, "Is this the room?" Then the lattter opened her phone to check her messages after forgetting which room they're supposed to go to.

"Yup, it is" Haerin then put her phone back on her pocket.

After knocking, Minji entered the room followed by Haerin. "Hello" they both bowed their heads as she greets the male teacher who's sitting at the desk in the corner. "We're here for Lee Hyein's report card"

"Take a seat" the teacher smiled at them as he point the two chairs in front of him. "Good thing it's lunch time so there are no other parents or guardians here"

"By the way I'm Mr. Jang, Hyein's adviser"

"So here's her card" the teacher gave a brown envelope to Minji, which she immediately opened. "As you can see, her grades on other subjects improved a lot, just like in English"

"Whoah, she had an A?" Haerin said after taking a peek. "Last semester, she got a C- in English"

Hyein's home tutoring with the members seems to have helped her a lot especially in the English subject. Minji, Danielle and Hanni are all proficient in speaking english so they had to teach her almost every night just to make sure that her grammar and sentence building were improving.

"However" the teacher cleared his throat. "Her Math went from D to D-, which means it went from bad to worst"

"Was Hanni's math lessons not enough?" Minji thought.

Meanwhile, Haerin's just sitting beside Minji. Looking at every action that the older make and staring at her face.

If only the two of them are together, Haerin's always playful and loves to tease Minji a lot. But when there's someone other than the members around, then her introvert self shines the most thus making her shy and quiet around them. You won't even hear her speak if you're not talking to her.

"You really adore Minji, right Haerin?" the teacher giggled as he look at the sight of the two.

"She's always doing that teacher" Minji sighed. It's not like there's something she could do to stop the younger from her habit.

"Actually, I'm surprised that Hyein can keep up with the subjects despite being an idol with a busy schedule. Although she's still abent from time to time, she manages to submit her requirements in time, even though most of the answers on her homeworks are wrong"

"Let me ask, is she being pressured to study or to get high grades at home?"
This time, the teacher's expression changed from being fun to serious.

"Almost every night, I'm teaching her in English subject along with the other members. If we were finished earlier, then we'll tutor her with her other subjects. Although I must admit that I'm always telling her to study hard and that I don't want to see her fail"
