In Seoul:(months after maknaes went to military camp)
As the days turned into weeks and then months, the absence of Dahyun, Tzuyu, and Chaeyoung, who were serving in the military, started to affect the dynamics of TWICE. The remaining members were busy with their solo projects, endorsements, and individual schedules. They lost track of time and each other.
Usually, they would have a weekly dinner tradition, a time for the "maknae line" (the youngest members) to gather and catch up. But with their schedules growing more hectic, one week turned into two, and soon enough, it had been two weeks since they last met.
One day, two of the members, Nayeon and Momo, happened to run into each other at the company's practice room. They exchanged greetings and realized that it had been a while since they had their weekly dinner.
Feeling a sense of nostalgia and missing their maknae line, they decided to call up the other members and set a date for their much-needed get-together. It was clear that they had been so caught up in their own lives and solo projects that they had unintentionally drifted apart from one another.
On the scheduled date night, the members gathered at their favorite restaurant. As they laughed, reminisced, and shared stories, they couldn't help but realize how ignorant they had been in the past few months. They had been so focused on their new relationships and individual careers that they had neglected their bond as a group.
The realization weighed on their hearts, especially when they thought about their youngest members serving their country, far away from the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. They felt sorry for not being there for Dahyun, Tzuyu, and Chaeyoung when they needed their support the most.
During that dinner, they made a pact to stay connected and not let their busy lives come between their friendship and sisterhood. They vowed to support each other, both as individual artists and as a group, and to cherish every moment they had together.
From that day forward, they made a conscious effort to maintain their weekly dinners, even if it meant adjusting their schedules. They realized that their bond as TWICE was precious and worth preserving, no matter how busy life became.
**********
As Nayeon sat alone in her room after the dinner, her mind drifted back to a heartwarming conversation she had had with Chaeyoung in the past. It was a conversation that had left a lasting impact on her and had helped her overcome a period of self-doubt.Nayeon recalled a rainy evening when she and Chaeyoung had found themselves in the practice room, the soft pattering of rain against the windows creating a soothing backdrop. Nayeon had been feeling down, doubting her own abilities and feeling like she was a hindrance to the group.
Chaeyoung, with her reassuring smile, had noticed Nayeon's somber expression and sat down next to her. She gently took Nayeon's hand and said, "Nayeon-unnie, I want you to know something important. You are not useless, and you are certainly not a hindrance to our group. You are the glue that holds us together. your caring nature, and your unwavering support mean the world to all of us."
Nayeon had blinked back tears, touched by Chaeyoung's sincerity. "But Chaeyoung, sometimes I make mistakes, and I feel like I'm not doing enough."
Chaeyoung had smiled warmly, her eyes filled with understanding. "We all make mistakes, Nayeon-unnie. That's how we learn and grow. And when you make a mistake, you always take responsibility and work even harder to make things right. That's what makes you an amazing unnie"
Nayeon had felt a rush of gratitude and emotion. "Thank you, Chaeyoung. You always know how to lift my spirits."
Chaeyoung had squeezed her hand gently. "Remember, we're a team. We're here to support and lift each other up, especially when one of us is feeling down. You've done that for all of us countless times, and we're here to do the same for you."
