"Men are rats!" Nayeon said to Lottie after she walked up to her, making the latter chuckle, "worse, they are fleas on rats, they're amoebas on fleas on rats!" She continued, Lottie was now laughing, maybe not as loud or full as Nayeon would hope,...

"Men are rats!" Nayeon said to Lottie after she walked up to her, making the latter chuckle, "worse, they are fleas on rats, they're amoebas on fleas on rats!" She continued, Lottie was now laughing, maybe not as loud or full as Nayeon would hope, but this was a start. "They are too low for even dogs to bite."

Lottie nodded, she looked down to the floor, she still had Yoongi's words stuck in her head, 'try the yellow pages' who did he think he was? To humiliate her like that, in front of everyone, and to lie about what they did during the summer, for what? Some dumb reputation? Who's going to care after high school? The reality is, most times, you wouldn't see your peers again unless you were one to go to reunions.

"Come on, we'll drive to yours and get you a change of clothes and head to my place," Nayeon gave her a sweet smile, Lottie nodded and gave back the gesture.

After the confrontation the guys retreated back to Namjoon's car, under the excuse of having to pee, Yoongi walked off to try and find Lottie, he had to explain himself, he had to make things right, seeing her heartbroken was not worth this silly reputation of his.

After a while of pushing through people, and looking at random heads, he finally spotted her, her arms were linked with Nayeon's as they walked to her car, Lottie saw him, and he just stood there, looking at her longingly, hoping to express how sorry he was through his eyes. But she just rolled her pretty brown eyes at him after a bit, giving her attention back to her friends. At that moment, Yoongi felt he had lost everything.

Nayeon was doing Lottie's nails, as the girls spoke about tonight's events. "You've had a rough day," Jiyoon stated after turning on the TV, she placed her hand on Lottie's shoulder as a way of reassurance before getting back on the bed.

"Min's got some nerve, I told you, all deadbeats, so terribly immature" Miyeon added, checking herself out on Nayeon's vanity mirror.

Lottie brushed her hair, a heavy sigh leaving her lips, "he was just so different this summer."

"That's why I prefer a more worldly type of guy," Miyeon stated, getting up from the vanity to get something from her bag, "excuse me, I'm feeling a bit chilly," she took a beautiful, long, pink silk robe out of it, and put it on.

"Where'd ya get that?" Kim asked her, touching the soft fabric.

"Freddy, from America" she answered nonchalantly. "You're going with a foreigner?" Jiyoon asked.

"He's a Marine!" Miyeon added with excitement, "he's at a base in Mujeok, and I was telling him how I have a cousin near there that talks about their pretty satin robes all. the. time." She continued, "and so he sent me this! You wanna see him?" All the girls nodded, which prompted her to pull out her wallet from her purse. Once she opened a long string of pictures unfolded in front of the group.

"Jeez Miyeonie!" Jiyoon and Nayeon said in unison, their jaws dropping at the number of pictures.

"You're a one-woman USO!" Lottie said, grabbing one of the many sleeves with a picture in it, "How do you keep them all?" Kim asked.
