[Jihyo's POV]

Jihyo couldn't stand being alone today. After what happened yesterday with Sana, she needed to be around people. So, she invited Dahyun to join her for dinner.

It had been so long since Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Dahyun, and herself had eaten together. If she remembered correctly, the last time they did so was back when she was still in high school. Everything was so much simpler back then.

"Hey, where's Nayeon and Jeongyeon?" Dahyun asks, taking off her shoes and entering the room.

"They went out to buy groceries. Don't worry, they're on their way back now," Jihyo says, sitting on the couch.

"Oh, I see... Actually, I wanted to show you something."

"Hm? What is it?"

"It's about Nayeon..." Dahyun slowly makes her way to Jihyo and sits down beside her, holding her phone out.

(Is that...) "Nayeon and Momo...?"

"Yeah. Didn't you say that this Momo person was a, uhh, business rival or something? I was on my way home yesterday and saw them together..."

Jihyo couldn't believe her eyes. On Dahyun's phone was a photo of Nayeon and Momo, walking with linked arms. Why would Nayeon...? Is she one of the traitors?

It seemed like every day, there was always something new to stress about. She just told Sana everything that's been happening, and now she has to worry about Nayeon?

As if on cue, the elevator dings and two smiling faces greet Jihyo and Dahyun.

"We're back~," Jeongyeon says, quickly slipping off her shoes and bringing the groceries into the kitchen.

"Ah, welcome back!" Dahyun smiles and rushes off to help Jeongyeon with the bags.

As Jeongyeon and Dahyun begin prepping the ingredients for dinner, Jihyo quietly steps toward Nayeon.

"Hey, can I talk with you in my room quickly?"

"Oh sure," she responds.

"What did you wanna talk about...?" Nayeon asks, sitting down on Jihyo's bed.

"Dahyun showed me a picture of you and Momo that she took yesterday... When did you start talking with her?"

"Huh? Wait, she took a picture of us together? That's kinda creepy, no?"

"Momo's our competitor, why would you get so close to her?"

"Calm down, Jihyo. I bumped into her a few days ago and now we're talking, that's all. I'm not talking about our company with her."
