Twice rented apartment
Day 9
Mina's POV
It's been seven in the evening but the maknaes aren't here?? Jihyo worriedly asked.
I guess so?? Dance club dismissed us earlier. I heard music club usually dismissed late. Sana answered.
I, Momo and Sana joined the Dance Club while Jihyo, Nayeon Unnie and Jeongyeon Unnie joined the Vocals Club.
Ugh. Their phones cannot be reached. Manager Unnie worriedly added.
The door suddenly opened revealing the two with a wide smile their faces.
Yah! What took you so long? We are worried about you girls. Nayeon Unnie uttered while scanning the two girls head to toe.
Why your phones cannot be reached? Manager Unnie added.
"O" The two maknaes mouthed.
I'm sorry Unnies. We both run out of battery. Dahyun apologetically replied.
What took you so long? Jihyo asked.
Well- something happened! Tzuyu answered.
What happened?! Jeongyeon curiously asked.
There are bullies who want to hurt us. Dahyun answered smiling.
Huh?!!! All of us questioned.
Tzuyu vigorously nodded while a big smile on her face.
So weird.
Wait- someone hurt you but why are you happy?! I asked.
Almost Unnie! And, Someone saved us! Dahyun happily exclaimed.
Who? I curiously asked.
Katarina! She's so cool! If you just saw how she slap the girl! Tzuyu excitedly shared.
Katarina? As in Chaeyoung's doppelganger?! Momo asked.
Yes! And she told us that if ever they try to bully us again. We should tell to her. Can you believe that?! She talked to us. She's so cool. So small but fierce like Chaeng. Dahyun said.
Woah! You two made progress unlike Mitang~ Momo commented.
I- I'm trying. I answered.
Maybe you forgot why we are here Mitang~ Sana uttered.
I don't. I -I just don't know how to approach her. I- I mean she's a snob. I reasoned out.
Chaeyoung was also a snob when she is still a trainee. Right, Dubu? Jihyo said.
Yes. Jihyo Unnie is right. A snob but the coolest girl I met. You're lucky Mina Unnie that you didn't know that side of Chaeyoung. She's scary. Dahyun answered.
I wished I met that Chaeyoung and spent more time with her. Scary?! I never get scared when she's with me.
Well, I guess Chaeng tried to act cool most of the time in front of Mina Unnie. She's head over heels to you Mina Unnie. We know it because she confessed to us. Tzuyu added while Dahyun nodded.
I - know.
That's the only words that came out of my mouth. Luckily, manager Unnie butts in.
Girls, I already rented a room in the dormitory. It's good for three people. Who wants to transfer?
Me! I said.
Not me! I hate curfews. Jihyo commented.
The other two Japanese nodded to what Jihyo said so I guess they don't want to join me.
How about you Nayeon? Jeongyeon?
Manager Unnie asked.
We decline. Nayeon said.
How about the maknaes?! Manager Unnie asked.
Well- It's more practical for us if we are going to live near the campus and more chance of seeing Katarina. Tzuyu said.
What do you think Dahyunnie? Tzuyu asked.
It's fine. Let's join Mina Unnie. Dahyun answered.
By the way, I'm going to start my part time work tomorrow. So, better take care of yourselves. Manager Unnie suddenly said.
Huh?!! All of us shouted.

Day 15
Tzuyu's POV
We will have our club activity today. I came early because Dahyunnie accompanied Momo Unnie to the cafeteria. Yesterday, we found out that we and Katarina joined the same club because we saw her with a guitar at her back. We also confirmed it from the club president that Katarina has been a member since last year but not actively participating in the club's activities. How lucky we are?!
So, right now I'm playing with this Guzheng owned by the school when the door slides open. She's here!! She carefully walks inside with her guitar then closes the door. She sat away from me then prepare her guitar. She suddenly look at my direction. We are having eye to eye right now.
Hi. I said.
She just nodded and laid her eyes back to her guitar.
What's your name? She asked me.
I- I'm Chou Tzuyu. I stuttered.
Not Korean but you speak Korean very well? She asked again.
Well- I'm Taiwanese and I studied Hangul. I answered.
How-how about you? What's your name? I asked.
I thought you already know me because of Ms. Kim? She asked.
Ah! Right! Han Katarina?! I said.
She nodded. She's so quiet. I hope Dahyunnie is here. Should I ask her?! Its my opportunity to ask. Right?!
Hey. I called her.
She looks at me with her serious expression while strumming her guitar chords.
I just want to ask you something about someone who was very important to us. I added.
About what?! She curiously asked.
By any chance, are you related to Son Chaeyoung?! I asked her.
She sighs and her expression looks so soft and lost.
She's -
Tzu!! I bought bread for you!
Dahyunnie suddenly opened the door while talking to me and I didn't heard what she said. Ugh! She's what?!
YA! Why are you looking at me like that? Did I interrupt you with something? Dubu asked me while scanning the room. Her eyes widen upon seeing Katarina looking at us.
Gosh! I'm sorry but are you two talking without me? Dubu questioned me with her annoyed tone.
What wrong with her?!
Is she your girlfriend? Katarina suddenly asked me.
NO! I and Dubu yelled.
She just nodded.
By the way, She's Kim Dahyun. I said.
She look at Dubu.
I'm Han Katarina. She plainly said not looking at us.
I know how to play piano while she's playing Guzheng. Dubu uttered trying to continue the conversation.
I play guitar. She replied.
Our friend loves to play a guitar too. Dubu happily said.
Then, why she's not here? Katarina asked now intensely looking at Dubu.
She-She already left us. Dubu answered.
Or you girls - left her? Katarina mumbled but I was able to hear it. She's not looking at us instead strumming her guitar.
The other club members one by one arrive to the room. I decided not to ask anymore but what's with her "you girls left her?!".
