Author's note: ajsdhfka God! It's been a while since I felt so excited to share a new update with you. I genuinely hope you like it. For a better experience, I would recommend reading the last part of this chapter with a nice slow song and drink of preference. If you want my own options, I wrote it with a nice glass of wine while listening to Little by Little by The Marías. (Of course, only if you are of drinking age) But anyway... to the chapter.

Once or twice, she has heard that phrase before.

"Oh my God, Chaeyoung, what did you do?" Momo asked as she entered the living room of her friend's house.

It was not only that there were several pieces of paper gathered on the center table, the whiteboard from her room in the middle, or the pile of books scattered on the ground. If you're friends with Chaeyoung, call it a Tuesday. No, the problem for Momo was the two new guests sitting there as if they were all friends. Momo has no love for any of her senior classmates, she is barely coming around for Mina. Now this?

"Momoring," Sana cheered and got up to approach her. Momo immediately exited the room, probably leaving for the kitchen. Chaeyoung knows she usually gets herself something to drink whenever she is at her house. Sana followed, making Chaeyoung slightly nervous about her schedule.

"Okay," she directed at them raising her voice. "That is fine, I just need everyone here in two minutes!"

Chaeyoung knew Momo disliked hanging out with her own classmates, but she figured Sana couldn't be that bad since they danced together sometimes. Momo is popular and beautiful and everyone seems to like her, she is the one who denies the attention and selects her friends thoroughly. Chaeyoung can appreciate that. Maybe, just maybe she could have warned her about the newcomers but then... she probably would have skipped the reunion, and she values her opinion.

Once they got back, with a smiley Sana and an irritated Momo holding a glass of orange juice, Chaeyoung checked her phone and everything was on schedule. She could start.

"Okay, so I gathered you all here today—"

"Oh, so is no one going to stop this?" Jihyo asked surprised by the actions taking place. That is to say; no one interfering.

"You can't stop it," Tzuyu answered. "It is easier to get through with it." This knowledge, of course, had been acquired with time.

"Aha, thank you," Chaeyoung acknowledged Tzuyu's answer and kept explaining after frowning at Jihyo for her unnecessary interruption. "I gathered you all here for an important task. I want to ask Mina to be my girlfriend and it has to be perfect, therefore, this impromptu focus group."

"Ugh, fine," Momo sighed heavily and sat down on one individual couch. She kept sipping from her orange juice.

"I need different perspectives," Chaeyoung kept explaining. "That is why I asked you guys to come," she addressed Tzuyu and Momo, "friends' perspectives; Minatozaki Sana and Park Jihyo, couple perspective; and—"

"Right," Momo interrupted again as if remembering. "What is he doing here?"

"Angelo," Chaeyoung said. "Male perspective."

"Why do you need a male perspective?" Tzuyu frowned entertained.

"He happens to give good advice," Chaeyoung answered nodding in approval at Angelo.

He smiled and looked at her friends. "I happen to give good advice," he shrugged.

Momo stuck out her tongue at him and Tzuyu rolled her eyes. They got along pretty well, regardless of the situation with Dahyun at the moment.
