EITHER WAY (LizRei)

Either way, we're good~

"Hey guys, breakfast is ready!" Gaeul-unnie yelled downstairs. I immediately stood up, stretched my body, and walked to Leeseo's bed.

"Leeseo-ya, wake up," I shook her vigorously. She moved, only to face the other side of the bed. I rolled my eyes.

"If you don't wake up now, I'm going to get Gaeul-unnie so that she'll be the one to wake you up," I threatened. She instantly stood up upon hearing unnie's name. Victory! I yelled in my head.

"Geez, some kind of unnie you are. Just look at Rei-unnie, she is worse than me," she whined.

"I'm going to wake her up too, so you go first."

"Hmp, fine." With that, she exited her room.

I climbed Rei's bed noisily to get her to wake up but to no avail, she didn't budge. She looks peaceful while sleeping, and so cute too. That cute little pout her lips makes it seem like she's a baby. I sighed. This dense little duckling confuses me a lot. One time she's clingy with me, then she's not. I sometimes catch her staring at me, but then she'll look away and divert her attention to the other members.

Aigoo, Naoi Rei.

Oh wait, I'm supposed to wake her up. I poked her cheek many times and whispered, "Rei-chan, wake up~"

Just like what Leeseo did, she just moved unconsciously. I giggled, she's really cute alright? I continued to poke both her cheeks.

"Aigoo, Kim Rei... wake up now or else I'm gonna do something," I whispered again. She just scrunched her nose.

"Eh! You go ahead, I'll follow in a bit," she answered in her husky voice.

"Nuh-uh, you're coming with me. Now stand or I'll carry you in my back"

"I don't want~" she used her aegyo voice on me this time. That's it. As much as I want to just watch her like this all day, I don't want her to skip breakfast. So I pulled her hands and carried her piggy back style.

"Aish, Jiwon-ah~" she whined again as I walked towards the door. I bet she's still sleepy because her eyes are still closed. So cute. We reached the dining table after awhile.

"You guys are so cute!" Gaeul-unnie complimented. I smirked.

I heard Wonyoung and Leeseo giggle in front of me.

"I know kkk~" I savagely answered with a smug smile.

"That's Liz, alright? Now, settle Rei down so that we can start eating. We have a fansigning event today," Yujin-unnie barged into the conversation.

"Alright, unnie. Rei-ya, are you awake now?" I asked and looked her over my shoulder.

"No~" she answered while her eyes are still closed and hugged me tighter.

"Ah, Rei is being a baby again, oh?" Yujin-unnie said, making everyone laugh.

This time, the baby on my back glared at Yujin-unnie and climbed down. She sat in an empty seat beside Gaeul-unnie while pouting. Haha, very cute!

"Awe, look at this kid. Wanna see my aegyo? Neo~ Neo Neo~" Yujin-unnie teased, making Rei laugh. We all laughed too then talked while eating breakfast.

Rei was sitting beside Yujin-unnie, and as I observed, they're flirting with each other. Tss.

"Uh, excuse me, Liz-ssi?" I was cut off my thoughts when a DIVE spoke to me. I blinked few times to compose myself before smiling at her.

"Hi, sorry about that. I was zoning out again," I apologized and took her album.

"It's fine, Liz-ssi. But may I ask, why were you looking at Rei-ssi and Yujin-ssi? Is there something going on between them?" The question caught me off-guard, making me look at her in shock.
